BRADLEY DEFEATS PACQUIAO BY SPLIT DECISION
Timothy Bradley wins split decision
Timothy Bradley defeats Manny Pacquiao by split decision to capture WBO welterweight title.
LAS VEGAS -- Timothy Bradley promised to shock, though the biggest shock in his fight with Manny Pacquiao came from the judges' scorecards.
In a fight Pacquiao seemed to have in hand, two judges decided otherwise, giving Bradley a split decision Saturday night and ending the Filipino fighter's remarkable seven-year unbeaten run.
Promoter Bob Arum fumed, the crowd at the MGM Grand arena booed, and Pacquiao seemed stunned when the decision was announced. Arum said there would be a November rematch, though he blasted the way the decision went down.
"I've never been as ashamed of the sport of boxing as I am tonight," said Arum, who handles both fighters.
Bradley came on strong in the later rounds, winning five of the last six on two scorecards and four on the third. He won 115-113 on the scorecards of judges Duane Ford and C.J. Ross, while losing on Jerry Roth's scorecard by the same margin. The Associated Press had Pacquiao winning 117-111.
"I did my best," Pacquiao said. "I guess my best wasn't good enough."
Pacquiao tried to turn the fight into a brawl, using his power to hurt Bradley in the early rounds. But Bradley changed tactics in the middle rounds and used his boxing skills to win enough rounds to take the narrow decision for the welterweight title.
It ended a 15-fight winning streak by Pacquiao dating to 2005 that turned him into a boxing superstar and made him a national hero in the Philippines.
"I thought I won the fight," Bradley said. "I didn't think he was as good as everyone says he was. I didn't feel his power."
Ringside punching statistics showed Pacquiao landing 253 punches to 159 for Bradley, who vowed before the fight to take the 147-pound title from Pacquiao. The Compubox statistics showed Pacquiao landing more punches in 10 of the 12 rounds.
Bradley was so confident that he had oversized tickets printed up for a Nov. 10 rematch that now will likely happen.
Bradley seemed hurt in the fourth and fifth rounds, but Pacquiao had trouble landing big punches after that. Still, he seemed in control of the fight everywhere but on the judge's scorecards.
"Can you believe that? Unbelievable," Arum said. "I went over to Bradley before the decision and he said, `I tried hard but I couldn't beat the guy.' "
Bradley said he hurt his ankle in the second round, and that trainer Joel Diaz said he could either quit or try to take the fight to Pacquiao.
"I got my second wind in the sixth round," Bradley said. "I worked the angles, sticking and moving."
Pacquiao said he studied Bradley on tape before the fight and wasn't surprised by anything he did. He said he thought he was in control of the fight and was shocked when the decision went against him.
"He never hurt me with his punches; most of them landed on my arms," Pacquiao said.
Pacquiao tried to brawl with Bradley and seemed to hurt him in both the fourth and fifth rounds. But Bradley started moving and counter punching, though he never seemed to land any shots that hurt Pacquiao.
Pacquiao had vowed to look impressive against Bradley after struggling in his last outing with Juan Manuel Marquez, a fight many thought he lost. And he did early, landing good long left hands while beating Bradley to the punch on most exchanges.
"He hurt me a couple of times with his left," Bradley said. "He's a beast."
Trainer Freddie Roach told Pacquiao after the 10th round that he had control of the fight, and urged him to fight hard the final two rounds.
"You have six minutes to go, son," Roach said. "It's your fight."
But it wasn't Pacquiao's fight, with Bradley getting credit for winning some of the close middle and later rounds. After the 11th round, Bradley went back to his corner and trainer Joel Diaz told him he needed to win the final round.
"I listened to my corner," Bradley said. "I got to give him a rematch now."
Arum said there will be one on Nov. 10, though he thought Pacquiao won easily, as did most writers at ringside.
"I'll make a lot of money off the rematch, but this was outrageous," Arum said.
It was the biggest fight of Bradley's career and it came with a minimum $5 million payday. The rematch will be even richer, though Pacquiao's loss could damage any plans for a fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Mayweather did not see the fight because he is serving a sentence on a domestic abuse charge at a jail a few miles from the MGM Grand.

Hilary Devey: Dragons' Den's New Diva
The is4profit team	February 3, 2011
Just as you're waiting for the next series of Dragons' Den to appear on your screens along comes a new dragon: Hilary Devey.
Replacing James Caan for the 2011 series of the hit BBC series, Hilary Devey joins Deborah Meaden, Theo Paphitis, Peter Jones and Duncan Bannatyne in the den.
Hilary Devey came to prominence with her appearance on Channel 4's Secret Millionaire a few years ago and more recently five tv's The Business Inspector where she was sent in to transform struggling businesses into profitable ventures.
Devey's own background is in the transport industry where she worked for many years before setting up Pall-Ex, the UK's largest palletised freight network. Having been turned down for a bank loan to start her business, Hilary Devey sold her house and her car in order to finance her own business. Pall-Ex is now a multi-million pound business with a distribution network covering every postcode in the UK and a healthy expansion into Europe.
So, it looks like Hilary Devey will be in a position to understand the struggles of budding entrepreneurs as they pitch to the Dragons and her practical, non-nonsense attitude will be a change from James Caan's chin-stroking contemplations.
Speaking about her appointment to the BBC2 business show, Devey said:
"I am proud to be able to do my part to support the next generation of UK entrepreneurs."
Keep your eyes peeled for the new series of Dragons' Den later in the year and find out more about the new female dragon at HilaryDevey.com or follow her on twitter @HilaryDevey

Marie Anne Charlotte Corday d'Armont, meist kurz Charlotte Corday genannt (* 27. Juli 1768 in Les Ligneries, Normandie, Frankreich; † 17. Juli 1793 in Paris), war eine französische Adlige und Nachfahrin des Dramatikers Pierre Corneille. Sie erlangte während der Französischen Revolution durch den Mord an dem radikalen Journalisten, Politiker und Naturwissenschaftler Jean Paul Marat Berühmtheit. Vier Tage nach ihrem Attentat wurde sie guillotiniert.

Abstammung und Jugend
Marie Anne Charlotte Corday d'Armont wird meist kurz als Charlotte Corday bezeichnet, obwohl sie selbst ihre Korrespondenz stets mit Marie Corday oder nur mit Corday signierte. Einer verarmten Familie des alten normannischen Kleinadels entstammend, war sie die zweite Tochter von Jacques-François de Corday d'Armont (1737–1798) und seiner Cousine und Gattin Charlotte-Jacqueline-Marie de Gautier des Authieux de Mesnival. Sie wurde in der ehemaligen Ortschaft Les Ligneries im Weiler Ronceray geboren und in der Kirche Saint-Saturnin getauft. Sie hatte zwei Brüder, Jacques-François-Alexis (* 15. Januar 1765, † 15. Februar 1809) und Charles-Jacques-François (1774–1795), sowie zwei Schwestern, Marie-Charlotte-Jacqueline (1766–1774), die als Kind starb, und Jacqueline-Jeanne-Éléonore (1770–1806). In den 1770er Jahren zog sie mit ihren Eltern in die nächste größere Stadt Caen um. Ihr Vater, sechstes Kind von Jacques-Adrien de Corday und Marie de Belleau, hatte als Leutnant in der Armee des französischen Königs gedient und war um 1763 aus dem Militärdienst ausgeschieden. Er war Opfer der Erstgeburtsgesetze, deretwegen er in für seinen Stand sehr bescheidenen finanziellen Verhältnissen leben musste. In einer Schrift L'égalité des partages, fille de la justice wandte er sich 1790 gegen das Erstgeburtsrecht.

Charlotte Cordays Mutter starb bereits am 8. April 1782 im Kindbett. Nachdem sich der Vater vergeblich um einen Platz für seine Töchter in dem prestigeträchtigen Maison de Saint-Cyr bemüht hatte, konnte er die damals 13-jährige Charlotte und ihre jüngere Schwester in Caen in der Abtei Sainte-Trinité (gewöhnlich Abbaye-aux-Dames genannt) unterbringen, in der eine von Charlotte Cordays Tanten, Madame de Louvagny, als Nonne lebte. Indessen war die Abtei keine Erziehungsanstalt, und nur der König hatte das Recht, hier fünf dem armen normannischen Adel angehörige Mädchen beherbergen zu lassen. Die Gunst, seine Töchter aufzunehmen, wurde Jacques-François de Corday wohl dank der Vermittlung von Madame de Pontécoulant, der Stellvertreterin der Äbtissin Madame de Belsunce, gewährt.

Charlotte Corday freundete sich mit zwei Mitschülerinnen, Mademoiselle de Faudois und Mademoiselle de Forbin, an. Laut einem Brief von Madame de Pontécoulant ließ sie sich nicht anmerken, wenn sie einmal krank war. Sie genoss relativ viele Freiheiten und entwickelte einen stolzen, energischen und selbständigen Charakter. Royalistisch gesinnte Autoren dichteten ihr eine Liebesbeziehung zum jungen de Belsunce, dem Neffen der Äbtissin, an. Früh wurde sie mit den Ideen der Aufklärung vertraut. In der Klosterbibliothek las sie u. a. die Bibel sowie Werke von Guillaume Thomas François Raynal, Jean-Jacques Rousseau und Voltaire. Möglicherweise wurde sie bei ihrem späteren Attentat auf Marat durch die Figur der alttestamentlichen Judith inspiriert. Beispielhaft dürften für sie auch in Plutarchs Viten beschriebene, republikanisch gesinnte antike Helden gewesen sein.

Die Abtei wurde am 1. März 1791 im Zuge der Französischen Revolution aufgelöst, und die nunmehr 22-jährige Charlotte Corday kehrte zu ihrem Vater zurück. Dieser war ein gemäßigter Royalist, während seine Tochter die 1789 ausgebrochene Französische Revolution zunächst begrüßte. Im Juni 1791 zog sie nach Caen zu einer reichen, einsamen und verwitweten Tante, Madame Le Coustellier de Bretteville-Gouville, deren Gesellschafterin sie wurde. Charlotte Cordays beide Brüder waren eifrige Royalisten und emigrierten Ende 1791. Beim Abschiedsessen für ihren älteren Bruder, der nach Koblenz aufbrach, weigerte sie sich, auf die Gesundheit Ludwigs XVI. zu trinken, da er ein schwacher König sei.

Marats Ermordung

Mögliche Motive
In der Anfangsphase der Französischen Revolution hatten die gemäßigten Republikaner, die Girondisten, das politische Übergewicht. Diese Partei, mit der Charlotte Corday sympathisierte, verlor ihren Einfluss aber immer mehr an die radikale jakobinische Bergpartei (Montagnards). In Caen erlebte Charlotte Corday die politischen Kämpfe aus der Sicht der Provinz, die zu den Girondisten tendierte und den extremen Montagnards abgeneigt war. Sie las gemäßigte Journale wie den Courrier français und das Journal von Charles Frédéric Perlet. Im Laufe der immer gewaltsamer werdenden Ausschreitungen sah sie ihre aufklärerischen Ideale verraten. Ende Mai/Anfang Juni 1793 wurde der Nationalkonvent von bewaffneten Sansculotten umstellt und durch diese Machtdemonstration die Girondisten gestürzt. 18 ihrer geächteten Vertreter flohen nach Caen, wo sie vorerst sicher waren. Dort hielten sie politische Versammlungen ab und planten, bewaffneten Widerstand gegen die Jakobiner zu leisten. Zu ihnen gehörten bedeutende Deputierte wie Buzot, Salle, Pétion, Barbaroux und Louvet.

Einigen Treffen der in Caen versammelten Girondisten wohnte die als attraktive, brünette Frau geschilderte Charlotte Corday bei und war über die Wirren, die ihr Vaterland erschütterten, anscheinend tief bewegt. Sie entschied sich, selbst und allein zu versuchen, das Blutregime der Jakobiner zu beenden. Einen Führer der Jakobiner, Jean Paul Marat, betrachtete sie als den Hauptübeltäter, der durch seine Nähe zum Volk dieses manipuliere und es zu unzivilisierten Gräueltaten und Morden aufhetze, so etwa in seiner verbreiteten Zeitschrift L'Ami du Peuple. Nun wollte sie Marat, die in ihren Augen treibende Kraft hinter den Septembermorden und der Vernichtung der Girondisten, und damit also den Hauptverantwortlichen für die Schreckensherrschaft, töten. Offenbar glaubte sie, dass die alleinige Beseitigung des ohnehin bereits sehr kranken Marat, dessen Einfluss sie weit überschätzte, genüge, um eine Konterrevolution einzuleiten und Frankreich so zu retten. Sie hielt ihre vielleicht schon seit längerem geplante Mordtat nicht für einen kriminellen, sondern – wie sie in ihrem anschließenden Prozess betonte – patriotischen Akt, um einen Beitrag zur Wiederherstellung des Friedens in ihrem Vaterland zu leisten. Dafür war sie bereit, ihr Leben zu opfern. Ihren Mitbürgern warf sie, in einem im Gefängnis verfassten Brief, mangelnde Zivilcourage vor.

Ablauf des Attentats
Um möglichst große Aufmerksamkeit zu erzielen und anderen Patrioten als Beispiel zu dienen, hatte Charlotte Corday vor, Marat am 14. Juli, dem Jahrestag des Sturms auf die Bastille, in der Öffentlichkeit zu erstechen. Sie wandte sich am 7. Juli 1793 an den in Caen weilenden Girondisten Charles Barbaroux und erhielt von ihm ein Empfehlungsschreiben für dessen noch im Konvent sitzenden Freund, den Deputierten Claude Romain Lauze de Perret. Durch diesen erhoffte sie sich, Einlass in den Konvent zu erhalten, in dem sie Marat inmitten von dessen Genossen zu ermorden beabsichtigte. Sie gab gegenüber Barbaroux vor, sich für ihre Jugendfreundin Mademoiselle de Forbin einsetzen zu wollen, die als einstige Kanonikerin ihre Rente nicht erhielt. Ihren mittlerweile in der Rue du Beigle in Argentan lebenden, nichtsahnenden Vater suchte sie nicht persönlich auf, um ihm Lebewohl zu sagen, sondern schrieb ihm stattdessen, dass sie nach England auswandere, da sie sich in Frankreich schon seit langem nicht mehr ruhig und glücklich fühle. Als Grund für diesen Schwindel gab sie bei späteren Befragungen an, dass sie geglaubt habe, nach dem von ihr geplanten öffentlichen Mord an Marat sofort von dessen Anhängern in Stücke gerissen zu werden, ohne dass ihr Name je bekannt geworden wäre; so hätte sie ihre Familie heraushalten können.

Bereits im April 1793 hatte sich Charlotte Corday einen Reisepass für Paris besorgt. Am 9. Juli desselben Jahres fuhr sie von Caen, wo sie bei ihrer Tante gelebt hatte, in einer Postkutsche nach Paris. Laut ihrer Darstellung soll ihr ein junger Mann während der Reise einen Heiratsantrag gemacht haben, den sie ablehnte. Nach ihrer Ankunft in Paris am Mittag des 11. Juli bezog sie im Hôtel de la Providence in der Rue des Vieux-Augustins Nr. 17 Quartier. Mit Barbaroux' Empfehlungsbrief begab sie sich am nächsten Tag zu Lauze de Perret, der ihr mitteilte, dass Marat wegen seines Hautleidens stets daheimblieb und nicht mehr im Konvent erschien. So musste sie ihren ursprünglichen Mordplan aufgeben und stattdessen versuchen, in Marats Wohnung zu gelangen und ihn dort zu erdolchen.

Am Morgen des 13. Juli 1793 erstand Charlotte Corday unter den Arkaden des Palais Royal um 40 Sous ein Küchenmesser mit einer 20 Zentimeter langen Klinge und einer Scheide. In ihrem Hotelzimmer schrieb sie die Adresse aux Français amis des lois et de la paix (An Frankreichs Freunde von Recht und Frieden), in der sie Marat als Urheber aller damals in Frankreich herrschender Übel beschuldigte und ihre geplante Tat erklärte. Unter dem Vorwand, dass sie einige Girondisten aus ihrer Heimatstadt Caen, einer Hochburg der Konterrevolution, denunzieren wolle, suchte sie Marat am Mittag des 13. Juli in dessen Domizil in der Rue des Cordeliers Nr. 20 auf. Simone Évrard, Marats Lebensgefährtin, war jedoch misstrauisch und verweigerte ihr zweimal den Eintritt. Corday fuhr zurück in ihr Hotel, bat Marat schriftlich um eine Unterredung und fuhr noch am Abend desselben Tages zurück zu Marats Wohnung, ohne Antwort erhalten zu haben.

So kam Charlotte Corday, mit einem weißen Kleid und einer schwarzen Haube bekleidet, am 13. Juli etwa eine halbe Stunde nach 19 Uhr wieder in der Rue des Cordeliers an. Unter dem Gewand hatte sie das Messer versteckt. Außerdem hatte sie ein vorbereitetes Billet bei sich, in dem sie ihre Hoffnung ausdrückte, von Marat empfangen zu werden, da sie ihm wichtige Dinge zu enthüllen habe. Die Pförtnerin wollte die Fremde abweisen, doch konnte diese sich an der Angestellten vorbei ins Haus drängen. Simone Évrard öffnete auf den Lärm hin die Wohnungstür, versuchte aber Charlotte Corday erneut den Eintritt zu verwehren. Marat saß gerade in einer Wanne im Badezimmer, weil das Wasser, in dem sich Heilkräuter befanden, den durch seine Hautkrankheit ausgelösten Juckreiz linderte. Er hörte den lauten Wortwechsel am Eingang und befahl, dass die Besucherin zu ihm geführt werden solle. Daraufhin ließ Simone Évrard sie zu Marat vor und ließ die beiden allein.

Der Revolutionsführer hatte ein feuchtes Handtuch um seine ungepflegten Haare gewickelt und seinen Oberkörper mit einem Tuch bedeckt; nur seine Schultern, sein Gesicht und sein rechter Arm waren sichtbar. Es kam zwischen ihm und seiner Besucherin zu einem etwa viertelstündigen Gespräch, dessen Ablauf nur aus den Aussagen der Attentäterin vor dem Revolutionstribunal bekannt ist. Demnach berichtete sie dem Präsidenten der Jakobiner von einem in Caen geplanten Aufstand. In der Wanne sitzend, notierte er auf einem Schreibbrett die Namen der nach Caen geflüchteten Girondisten, die sie ihm angab. Als Marat der vermeintlichen Denunziantin versprach, alle Genannten innerhalb weniger Tage auf der Guillotine hinrichten zu lassen, zog Charlotte Corday das Messer aus ihrem Dekolleté und stach ihn so heftig in die Brust, dass die Lunge, die linke Herzkammer und die Aorta zerrissen wurden. Nur noch der Holzgriff der Mordwaffe ragte aus seinem Brustkorb. Marat rief nach seiner Freundin um Hilfe, die herbeihastete. Charlotte Corday konnte zunächst aus dem Badezimmer flüchten. Es kam zwischen ihr und einigen Bediensteten zu einem Gerangel. Ein Falzer des Journals Ami du Peuple, Laurent Bas, schlug sie mit einem Sessel nieder, woraufhin sie bald festgenommen wurde. Marat war noch am Leben, als er aus der Wanne gezogen wurde, starb aber kurz danach.

Noch in der Wohnung des Ermordeten unterzogen die Polizei und Abgeordnete des Komitees für Öffentliche Sicherheit die Attentäterin einem ersten Verhör. Bei ihrer Durchsuchung wurde ihr Brief an das französische Volk in ihrem Korsett gefunden. Sie blieb gelassen und sagte aus, dass sie die Tat aus eigenem Entschluss und allein ausgeführt habe. Gleichzeitig bestritt sie, unter den Girondisten Komplizen gehabt zu haben. In der Nacht auf den 14. Juli 1793 fand ihre Überführung in das Prison de l'Abbaye statt, wobei sie von der Polizei davor geschützt werden musste, sofort von aufgebrachten, sie schmähenden Bürgern gelyncht zu werden.

Prozess und Hinrichtung
Noch am Tag von Charlotte Cordays Überstellung in das Abbaye-Gefängnis verfügte der Konvent, dass ihre Mordtat vor das Revolutionstribunal gebracht werden solle. Als ihre angeblichen Komplizen standen der konstitutionelle Bischof Claude Fauchet und der Abgeordnete Lauze de Perret ebenfalls unter Anklage. Fauchet wurde der Unterstützung der Aufstandsbewegung der Girondisten in Caen beschuldigt; außerdem habe er Marats Mörderin den Zugang zum Konvent ermöglicht. Zu diesem Zweck soll sie sich gleich nach ihrer Ankunft in Paris, da sie dort niemanden kannte, an den Bischof gewandt haben. Dieser bestritt die auf einer sehr zweifelhaften Zeugenaussage beruhenden Vorwürfe energisch. Auch die Hauptangeklagte blieb bei ihrer Darstellung, dass sie keinerlei Mithelfer gehabt hatte. Brieflich gab sie die Auskunft, dass sie Fauchet kaum gekannt und nicht geschätzt habe. Fauchet und Lauze de Perret wurden zunächst freigelassen, später aber wegen ihrer politischen Tätigkeit als Girondisten erneut verhaftet und am 31. Oktober 1793 hingerichtet.

In einem Brief an das Komitee für Öffentliche Sicherheit beklagte sich Charlotte Corday über ihre allzu strenge Überwachung, die ihr keinerlei Privatsphäre lasse. Am Morgen des 16. Juli 1793 erfolgte ihre Verlegung in eine andere Haftanstalt, die Conciergerie. Am Abend desselben Tages verfasste sie einen Brief an den Deputierten Barbaroux, in dem sie den Mord am Ami du Peuple rechtfertigte; dieses Schreiben wurde freilich nicht an den Adressaten weitergeleitet, sondern den Prozessakten beigefügt. Ebenfalls noch am 16. Juli schrieb sie ihrem Vater und bat ihn um Vergebung, dass sie ohne seine Erlaubnis über ihr Leben verfügt habe; er solle sich über ihr Los freuen, dessen Ursache so schön sei, und folgenden Vers von Corneille nicht vergessen: "Verbrechen macht Schmach und nicht das Blutgericht."

Am Morgen des 17. Juli 1793 erschien die Angeklagte zur Verhandlung ihres Falles vor dem Revolutionstribunal. Zu ihrem Verteidiger hatte sie sich den Girondisten Louis-Gustave Doulcet de Pontécoulant gewünscht, doch kam der an diesen gerichtete Brief zu spät an. An seiner Stelle bestellte der Präsident des Tribunals, Jacques Bernard Marie Montané, den Jakobiner Claude François Chauveau-Lagarde zu ihrem Verteidiger, der später auch Marie-Antoinette vertreten sollte. Als öffentlicher Ankläger trat Antoine Quentin Fouquier-Tinville auf. Marats Lebensgefährtin Simone Évrard wurde als erste Zeugin einvernommen. Während des Prozesses zeigte Charlotte Corday große Ruhe und Gelassenheit. Sie glorifizierte die Ermordung Marats als patriotische Tat, und ihre kurzen, unerschrockenen Antworten auf die Fragen der Richter riefen unter den Zuhörern Erstaunen und Bewunderung hervor. Wohl in Anspielung auf eine Äußerung Robespierres vor der Hinrichtung König Ludwigs XVI. sagte sie: "Ich habe einen Mann getötet, um hunderttausend zu retten." Als ein Gerichtsdiener ihr aber die blutbefleckte Mordwaffe überreichte, reagierte sie erschreckt, stieß das Messer zurück und bestätigte mit unsicherer Stimme, dass sie es wiedererkenne.

Um jeden Anschein von patriotischem Idealismus zu vertuschen, wünschte der Ankläger Fouquier-Tinville, dass Chauveau-Lagarde im Namen seiner Mandantin auf Geisteskrankheit plädierte. Der für die Tat viel Verständnis aufbringende Verteidiger weigerte sich jedoch. Gegen 13 Uhr erfolgte die Urteilsverkündung, laut der über Charlotte Corday die Todesstrafe verhängt wurde. Die Verurteilte war mit ihrem Anwalt sehr zufrieden und bedankte sich bei ihm für seine Bemühungen.

Während der Verhandlung hatte der Maler Johann Jakob Hauer auf Wunsch Charlotte Cordays ein Porträt von ihr begonnen, das er während ihrer letzten Stunden in ihrer Gefängniszelle in der Conciergerie fertigstellte. Auf diesem Bild erscheint sie völlig ruhig. Sie bat den Künstler anschließend, eine kleine Kopie davon herzustellen, die ihre Familie erhalten sollte.

Bis zum Schluss blieb Charlotte Corday äußerst gefasst und unerschütterlich. Die Ablegung der Beichte vor einem zu ihr gesandten Priester lehnte sie höflich ab, da sie Marats Ermordung nicht als Sünde betrachtete. Der Scharfrichter Sanson erschien mit seinen Helfern in ihrer Zelle. Ihr langes Haar wurde bis zum Nacken abgeschnitten, und sie musste wie alle verurteilten Mörder ein rotes Hemd anziehen. Am Abend des 17. Juli 1793, vier Tage nach ihrem Attentat, machte sie sich gemeinsam mit ihrem Henker in einem offenen Karren auf den Weg von der Conciergerie zu ihrem Hinrichtungsort, der Place de la Révolution (der heutigen Place de la Concorde). Unterwegs wurde sie von zahlreichen Schaulustigen beschimpft; sie ließ die Schmähungen gleichmütig über sich ergehen. Während der Fahrt zum Schafott ging ein Gewitterregen nieder, doch noch vor dem Erreichen der Enthauptungsstätte machten die Wolken wieder der Sonne Platz. Gegen 19 Uhr wurde Corday schließlich guillotiniert, nachdem sie noch selbst ihren Kopf unter dem Beil zurechtgelegt hatte. Nach der Exekution der erst 24-jährigen Delinquentin hob ein Henkersknecht namens Legros ihren abgeschlagenen Kopf aus dem Korb, zeigte ihn der Menge und versetzte ihm einen Schlag. Augenzeugen berichteten, dass die Wangen der Toten vor Empörung errötet seien. Der Schlag wurde als inakzeptable Verletzung der selbst bei Hinrichtungen geltenden Etikette betrachtet und Legros mit drei Monaten Gefängnis bestraft.

Charlotte Cordays Leiche wurde in einem Massengrab nahe Ludwig XVI. beerdigt; unklar ist, ob auch ihr Kopf mit ihr bestattet oder als Kuriosität zurückbehalten wurde. Angeblich soll sich der Schädel bis ins 20. Jahrhundert im Besitz der Familie Bonaparte und ihrer Nachkommen befunden haben, die ihn von M. George Duruy erworben habe, in dessen Besitz er wiederum über seine Tante gekommen sei.

Politische Nachwirkung
Charlotte Corday erreichte durch die Ermordung Marats keineswegs ihr Ziel, Frankreich den Frieden zurückzugeben und die Girondisten wieder an die Macht zu bringen. Im Gegenteil intensivierten die Jakobiner unter der Führung Robespierres während ihrer Schreckensherrschaft 1793/94 ihr schonungsloses Vorgehen gegen politische Gegner, und es fanden Tausende von Hinrichtungen statt. Marat wurde noch mehr zu einem Helden und Märtyrer der Revolution gemacht, dessen Werk fortgesetzt werden müsse. Seine Büsten und Statuen ersetzten die Kruzifixe und Heiligenbilder, die unter dem neuen Regime nicht länger erwünscht waren. Bereits 1795 endete jedoch dieser posthume Marat-Kult. Später erlangte Charlotte Corday ihrerseits aufgrund ihres politischen Mordes den Status einer Märtyrerin der Konterrevolution. Einige Schriftsteller verglichen sie mit Jeanne d'Arc, und Alphonse de Lamartine widmete ihr ein Buch seiner Histoire des Girondins (1847), in dem er sie als l'ange de l'assassinat (Mordengel) titulierte.

Bearbeitungen in Literatur, Kunst und Musik

Literarische Bearbeitungen
Sofort nach der Ermordung Marats und der Hinrichtung seiner Attentäterin setzte eine umfangreiche Bearbeitung dieses Themas in der Literatur und bildenden Kunst ein. In Frankreich gab es anfangs unter dem Regime der Jakobiner (1793/94) fast ausschließlich Marat lobpreisende Darstellungen. Das Attentat auf den "Volksfreund" einschließlich seiner Verherrlichung war der Gegenstand zahlreicher Aufführungen an Pariser Theatern (z. B. Jean-François Barrau, La mort de Marat, 1794). Aus der damaligen französischen Ära blieben nur zwei für Charlotte Corday Partei ergreifende Werke erhalten: ein Gedicht des als Opfer Robespierres guillotinierten André Chénier und ein 1794 entstandenes, aber damals nicht publiziertes Drama des Girondisten Jean-Baptiste Salle, der ebenfalls nicht lange danach hingerichtet wurde. Diese Tragödie schildert nur das Verhör und den Tod der Attentäterin, nicht aber die Vorgeschichte und die Ermordung Marats. Schon im Juli 1793 hatte der Mainzer Abgeordnete Adam Lux, der Zeuge von Cordays letztem Gang zu ihrer Exekution gewesen war und ihre Tat guthieß, eine Broschüre unter dem Titel Charlotte Corday veröffentlicht und war dafür selbst auf dem Schafott gelandet. Aber auch deutsche Autoren, welche die Französische Revolution begrüßten, äußerten sich zunächst über Cordays Tat äußerst missbilligend, während sie Wieland im Deutschen Merkur bereits weniger scharf verurteilte. In poetischen Darstellungen von Klopstock und Gleim erscheint Charlotte Corday als Heldin; sie wird hier mit Caesars Mörder Brutus verglichen und diesem vorgezogen. Der englische Dramatiker Edmund John Eyre schuf 1794 die Tragödie The Maid of Normandy, in der das Scheitern von Cordays mit ihrem Attentat verknüpften politischen Hoffnungen gezeigt wird.

Nach der Beseitigung der Willkürherrschaft Robespierres entstanden in Frankreich literarische Bearbeitungen von Cordays Tat, in denen sie positiver als bisher, teilweise sogar heldenhaft dargestellt wurde. Jean Antoine Brun, genannt Lebrun-Tossa, schrieb 1796 eine l'Apothéose de Charlotte Corday. Im 1797 veröffentlichten dreiaktigen Drama Charlotte Corday, ou la Judith moderne, dessen Verfasser unbekannt ist, erscheint sie wie die Heroin des Alten Testaments als Erlöserin ihrer Nation. Die Ablehnung des Priesters durch die im Kerker sitzende Delinquentin wurde öfters thematisiert, so etwa in der aus der Feder des Freiherrn Renatus Karl von Senckenberg stammenden Tragödie Charlotte Corday oder die Ermordung Marats (1797; bald danach ergänzt durch das Kurzepos Carolina Cordæa). Der anfangs der Französischen Revolution enthusiastisch, seit dem Regime der Jakobiner aber ablehnend gegenüberstehende deutsche Schriftsteller Jean Paul porträtierte Corday in seiner Novelle Der 17. Juli oder Charlotte Corday (1801) als Heilige. Die deutsche Dramatikerin Engel Christine Westphalen, die Flüchtlinge der Französischen Revolution betreute, verfasste nach antikem Vorbild das Werk Charlotte Corday (1804) und bezog erstmals die Figur des Adam Lux in die Handlung ein. Verschiedene Autoren betteten den Corday-Stoff in größere politische Zusammenhänge ein oder dichteten der Titelheldin einen Liebhaber an, etwa einen der verfolgten Girondisten.

In der erfolgreichen dreiaktigen Prosa-Tragödie Sept heures, ou Charlotte Corday (1829) von Victor Henri Joseph Brahain Ducange und Auguste Anicet-Bourgeois (deutsch Ludwig Meyer, Charlotte Corday oder Marats Tod, 1833) hat die Attentäterin persönliche Gründe für den Mord, der überdies durch Marats erpresserische Liebesintrige übermotiviert ist. 1840 schrieb Henri-François-Alphonse Esquiros den zweibändigen Roman Charlotte Corday. Louise Colet fügte dem Stoff in ihrem 1842 erschienenen Drama Charlotte Corday et Madame Roland einige neue dichterische Motive hinzu. Der französische Dramatiker François Ponsard schrieb, wohl angeregt durch Lamartines oben erwähntes Werk über die Geschichte der Girondisten, das Stück Charlotte Corday, das 1850 am Théâtre-Français uraufgeführt wurde. Am Ende dieser Tragödie muss Corday erfahren, dass ihre Tat das Terrorregime nicht hat beenden können, so dass sie als zweifelnde Gesinnungstäterin in den Tod geht.

Zu den im 20. Jahrhundert zu dem Thema erschienenen Werken gehört u. a. das 1931 von der österreichischen Lyrikerin und Erzählerin Erika Mitterer verfasste Drama Charlotte Corday. Das von Pierre Drieu la Rochelle stammende dreiaktige Stück Charlotte Corday (1944), das während des Zweiten Weltkriegs in Südfrankreich aufgeführt wurde, zeigt die Titelheldin als eifrige Republikanerin, die sich durch Marats Ermordung eine Rettung der Revolution und das Verhindern ihres Abgleitens in eine Tyrannis erhofft. In Peter Weiss' Theaterstück Die Verfolgung und Ermordung Jean Paul Marats dargestellt durch die Schauspielgruppe des Hospizes zu Charenton unter Anleitung des Herrn de Sade (1964) erscheint Charlotte Corday als komische, somnambule Figur. 1988 schrieb Sibylle Knauss den biographischen Roman Charlotte Corday.

Der mit Marat befreundete französische Maler Jacques-Louis David stellte in seinem Gemälde Der Tod des Marat (1793) den Toten in ikonenhafter Pose in dessen Badewanne dar. Er zeichnete ihn in seinem aus der Unmenge an bildnerischen Bearbeitungen dieses Themas herausragenden Kunstwerk als Märtyrer der Revolution. Aus einem ganz anderen Blickwinkel sah Paul Baudry in seinem Gemälde Charlotte Marie-Anne Corday aus dem Jahr 1860 sowohl dem Titel nach als auch in der Interpretation die Tat: Corday, anstatt Marat, wurde handelnde Heldin. Der Maler Johann Jakob Hauer war als Kommandant für die öffentliche Sicherheit und Ordnung in der Section Théâtre-Français zuständig und konnte daher die prominenten Gefangenen besuchen. Von ihm liegt das erwähnte realistische Porträt Charlotte Cordays vor.

Der Komponist Josef Schelb (1894–1977) machte Charlotte Corday auf der Grundlage eines Librettos von Friedrich Baser zur Heldin seiner Oper Charlotte Corday (1940–1943). Charlotte Corday ist auch der Titel einer Oper in drei Akten von Lorenzo Ferrero nach einem Libretto von Giuseppe Di Leva, geschrieben anlässlich des 200. Jahrestages der Französischen Revolution, der 1989 gedacht wurde. Der schottische Sänger und Komponist Al Stewart veröffentlichte 1993 in seinem Album Famous Last Words den Song Charlotte Corday, der vom Geist Cordays auf der Suche nach Vergebung handelt.

Out of the ordinary: co-editing a collection of Australian Methodist biography
10 December 2020 30 June 2016
… by Patricia Curthoys
Over the past few years I have been involved, with William Emilsen, from Charles Sturt University, in editing a collection of Australian Methodist biographies (Patricia Curthoys and William W. Emilsen, Out of the Ordinary: Twelve Australian Methodist Biographies, Unley, MediaCom Australia, 2015). The collection was published in November 2015, one of several books produced to mark the bicentenary of Methodism in Australia. (The others include Glen O'Brien and Hilary Carey's also edited collection, Methodism in Australia: A History, Farnham, Surrey: Ashgate, 2015). As editors we adopted the view that biography was an important way into the history of Australian Methodism – the story of Australian Methodism could not be fully told apart from the people who made it.
The criteria for selecting who should be in the collection included that they had to be people who had achieved some public recognition within the Methodist Church of Australasia (1902–1977), but with no substantial biography already written about them; that together they had to be representative of the diversity of Australian Methodism, including ordained and lay men and women across, as far as possible, the Australian states and territories; and they had to be deceased. These criteria were intellectually sound. They were also influenced by an appreciation of part of our potential readership: ex-Methodists who we hoped would recognise at least some of the names! The final list was also determined to some extent by the availability of historians and historical theologians willing to write the biographies.
In December 2014 we held a two-day workshop with our contributors, made possible by funding from both Charles Sturt University and the (Australian) Religious History Association. At that workshop contributors made short presentations about their prospective subjects as well as providing feedback and suggestions on each other's chapters. Our task, as editors, was made considerably easier by our contributors' professional responses throughout the project to our numerous requests and to often tight deadlines. Once almost final versions of the chapters were received in early 2015, another ten or so people undertook the task of reading and commenting on the chapters. Then William and I exercised final editorial control. Our search for a publisher for the project was made fairly straightforward by William's previous, successful, publishing experience with MediaCom Australia. We were particularly heartened that MediaCom's CEO immediately warmed to the idea of publishing a collection of Methodist biographies in the bicentennial year of the arrival of Methodism in Australia.
William and I had worked together before, productively and amicably, most particularly on a co-authored history (Susan Emilsen, Ben Skerman, Patricia Curthoys and William Emilsen, Pride of Place: A History of the Pitt Street Congregational Church, Beaconsfield, Circa, 2008). It struck me at one point during this project that one of the reasons we worked so well together as co-editors was that we are both fairly pedantic people – a personal attribute not always, I would suggest, sufficiently appreciated by others but a quality which comes into its own when working as an editor! Editing the collection, as well as contributing a chapter each was a huge task. But it was also a rewarding one. The book has been selling well, particularly amongst ex-Methodists. We hope it will also be of use to historians seeking to understand various aspects of twentieth-century Australian Methodism.

We employ just over 70 staff currently working from a number of locations within the communities in which we work. Please see below for staff contact details.
We are keen to continually improve the services we offer to our customers and the way we deliver these services.


Small scratches, scuffs and dents are not only unsightly, but have a negative effect on the value of your car. In the past, cars in need of cosmetic repair would have been sent to a conventional body shop, meaning that you would be without your car while the repair work took place, and potentially facing a large bill. Thankfully, many small scratches, scuffs and dents can be repaired using SMART techniques.
The SMART repair concept was originally created to offer the motor industry a fast, cost-effective solution to assist in the cosmetic repair of used vehicles. SMART Repair Insurance now lets you take advantage of this new solution to ensure your vehicle looks as good as new by repairing minor bumps and scratches as they happen. SMARTPlus will also cover your alloy wheels, should they be accidentally damaged through everyday motoring.
SMARTPlus Insurance will pick up these costs for up to 36 months, up to a maximum of £3,000 for bodywork repairs, and up to £1,500 for alloy wheel repairs.
Make an unlimited number of claims, up to the maximum aggregate claim limit of £3,000.
Make up to 10 alloy wheel claims.

A SMART repair is one where the technician can typically complete the repair within two hours and will be to best endeavours. Where a SMART repair cannot be achieved, the vehicle will require a bodyshop repair which is not covered by this insurance policy.
All aftermarket repairs vary from that of an automotive factory finish, which is machine sprayed to a degree beyond that achievable by human capability.

Post-300: Luther on the Book of Revelation
The two acquaintances I mentioned in #298 ("The Beginning is Near") belong to a certain Korean church or (church-like entity) with very unorthodox teachings "based on" wild interpretations of the Book of Revelation. They say Revelation specifically prophesies the coming of their own leader (a Korean man born in the 1930s), who is a kind of Christ-like figure in their belief.
I don't much trust people who talk too much about the Book of Revelation. As I see it, that book and its dream-like apocalyptic imagery is (at best) fuel for wild yet idle speculation under the cover of allegedly divine revelation.
I've heard that Luther had similar things to say on it. Here is Luther's highly critical preface to Revelation:
About this Book of the Revelation of John, I leave everyone free to hold his own opinions. I would not have anyone bound to my opinion or judgment. I say what I feel. I miss more than one thing in this book, and it makes me consider it to be neither apostolic nor prophetic.
First and foremost, the apostles do not deal with visions, but prophesy in clear and plain words, as do Peter and Paul, and Christ in the gospel. For it befits the apostolic office to speak clearly of Christ and his deeds, without images and visions. Moreover there is no prophet in the Old Testament, to say nothing of the New, who deals so exclusively with visions and images. For myself, I think it approximates the Fourth Book of Esdras; I can in no way detect that the Holy Spirit produced it.
Post-299: Baltimore Race Riots
"Ideas have consequences," someone once famously said.
And so it happened that race riots have struck, again, in 2015, in Baltimore:
I try to imagine what a Martin observer, looking on, would think.
Post-298: The Beginning is Near
This is a surprising and pleasing image to me. Maybe it's best to view it from the bottom to top, but viewing it all at once is nearly as good.
Post-297: Pointless War Story, Tokyo Bay 1945
I arrived by boat in Japan and left by plane. About seventy years earlier, some unknown American had a brief experience in Japan the precise reverse of mine in the sense that he "arrived by plane and left by boat," and in a more dramatic fashion. His story is told through the eyes of a Japanese watching:
After discussing the war generally, [the Japanese professor in his 60s] began, with seeming reluctance, to speak of his own war experience as a university draftee who had used all his family's influence to avoid call-up until he was finally tapped for coastal-defense duty late in the war. One day in July 1945, he went on, the intensity of his voice increasing with each sentence, he found himself in charge of an emplacement of ancient coastal guns just as an American flyer [pilot] parachuted into Tokyo Bay. As the downed American swam towards his position, the youthful candidate-officer found his mind racing. What should he do? Kill him, or take him prisoner? Suddenly, he was spared the choice, for right there in the middle of the bay, a U.S. submarine surfaced, scooped up the pilot, and submerged again, taking him to safety. At that moment in his story, the scholar broke off almost breathlessly, and said, "You see, that's the only kind of thing you'll hear. Pointless stories. It's too late to talk about crucial issues. All the people in decision-making posts are long dead."
Quite dramatic for a pointless story.
It comes from a book I'd bought cheaply in Tokyo (200 Yen or $1.65 at today's exchange rate). It's called Japan At War: An Oral History" published in 1992, an original English publication by an American, Dr. Theodore Cook. The interviews were conducted in 1988-1991 in Japan. He says he "selected people from [the ranks of] general to private, prison-camp guard to journalist, dancer to diplomat, idealistic builder of 'Greater East Asia' to 'thought criminal,' who talk revealingly of their wars".
The pointless story has two incredible points to it, as I see it. One, he considered killing a potential prisoner-of-war upon capture. Two, the pilot's manner of rescue, as described, seems so surreal that if I saw it in a James Bond movie I'd think to myself, "Gee, they're really pushing it now". The author makes some more comments about why this little anecdote is not so pointless. A photograph of the page is here.
Post-296: It Came Out of the Sky
Towards the end of 1969, a few months after the first human moon landing, an album was released in the USA called "Willy and the Poor Boys" which featured the now iconic song "Fortunate Son". Another song on the album was "It Came Out of the Sky".
Below is that song, its lyrics, and some comments on it that occur to me. (As of now, for copyright reasons Youtube blocks the song on mobile devices but it can be heard on desktops.)
I see the song as saying this: People tend to react to new, unknown phenomena or developments based narrowly on the way they already see the world, the way they've always done things. Few, if any, can really break free of this mental constraint. (I think this makes the song a musical version of Plato's "Allegory of the Cave.")

Post-295: Believing in Islam
I heard somebody from the UK make this comment a while ago:
"I've met people who don't even believe in God, but they believe in Islam."
He was talking about Muslims living in the UK, I think. What this means is open to interpretation.
Post-294: Finding a John Donne Poem
I turned a piece of paper over and found this:
Go and Catch a Falling Star
By John Donne
Go and catch a falling star,
Get with child a mandrake root,
Tell me where all past years are,
Or who cleft the devil's foot,
Teach me to hear mermaids singing,
Or to keep off envy's stinging,
And find
What wind
Serves to advance an honest mind.
I don't seek out poetry, but if it seeks me out, I'll give it a try. But -- Nope. Couldn't understand it. Can you?
I was talking with a nice Korean young man (born 1988) who is an English Literature major at a university in Seoul. We were scribbling on the back side of the paper; on the front was this poem.
I read it again and a third time. Slowly an idea took shape in my mind: Adventure. Could it be? -- a poem praising the adventurous spirit, both physical and mental, eternal curiosity, relentless seeking after new knowledge; maybe on the fantastical side, but approving. Life is the eternal pursuit of knowledge and experience, and also full of fool's errands, and maybe, ultimately, every single thing is a fool's errand, but that's okay. Something like this took shape in my mind. Poetry is hard. I said simply in English, "I think this poem means 'Adventure is good.'" He flatly replied: "No." A little condescendingly, he explained the real meaning:

Now this looks interesting...


Mexican soap star Eduardo Yanez is making a name for himself in the U.S. — around the world, really — after slapping the hell out of a reporter in Los Angeles.
The telenovela star's violent confrontation with a Univision reporter is going way more viral than any acting he's ever done. The reporter, Paco Fuentes, asked Yanez this week how he felt about his son setting up a GoFundMe page to pay for car repairs.
Yanez was so offended by the question he maniacally flipped out, and slapped the reporter while everyone watched in complete shock.
Yanez is known for his temper with reporters … so we're guessing Paco won't get an apology anytime soon.


I suggest to look at the \"Frame editor->Using selected area\" section of the manual. You could get a lot of useful techniques with this tool - moving, cutting, copying, clearing parts of objects.
The photoshop-like \"magic wand\" is still in a list for implementation.

The process of grinding an uncut rough diamond into a bare diamond
With the development of society and the improvement of people's economic level, more and more people are buying diamonds now. Even though the price of diamonds is high, they cannot resist people's enthusiasm for diamonds. Although there are many people who buy diamonds, few people really know about diamonds. Let's learn today how to cut and grind a rough diamond into a bare diamond.
The first is tagging.
This step should not only maintain the maximum weight of the diamond as much as possible but also minimize the content to reflect the value of the diamond as high as possible. Therefore, markers need to be experienced and proficient in machining techniques. First, they should use a magnifying glass to study the structure of the diamond blank. In the case of a large pellet drill, the work can take months or even years, and then Indian ink is used to divide the blank of the diamond to mark its natural texture;
Second, divide the raw stone.
Most diamonds are not suitable for splitting and need to be cut with a saw. Saw blades are phosphor bronze blades with edges coated with diamond powder and lubricant. Modern laser technology introduced diamond cutting, but also greatly improve the diamond blank processing efficiency; The diamond blank is then formed, fixed on a high-speed rotary lathe, and then the rotary diamond blank is cut into round, heart, oval, olive tip, emerald and other common flower shapes or other special shapes according to the design requirements. The hardness of diamonds varies slightly in different directions, so we should rely on experience to master the basic forms of diamonds;
the car grinds out all the petals on a cast iron disc with cast iron lube coated with diamond powder and lube. Seiko cuts the diamond to produce petals whose surface positions and angles are precisely calculated to maximize the shine of the diamond.
A brilliant diamond can only be formed through the above steps, without one. If a diamond is not cut well, it will affect the price of the diamond.

http://www.powerbookmedic.com/xcart1/hom... I have used them a couple of times, and have never had any problems.
This definitely sounds like the display cable is being pinched by the case. I would recommend keeping the laptop closed until you are ready to fix the issue, as if the cable keeps getting pinched it can rip or tear. This is fixable, you just have to use the iFixit guides to get to the Display cable, and then adjust it so that it is no longer being pinched.
Have you checked your keyboard settings to see if there is a replacement set for those keys? It seems strange that both 5 and 6 will change to 56. Some people will add replacements like this as a prank, so check in the "Text" tab of the "Keyboard" section of system preferences. Also, have you tried the keyboard on another device, and if so, did the problem persist?
Try taking off the bottom screws again, but leaving on the bottom, and try turning it on like that, just to make sure the screws were not causing the issue. If the device will not turn on at all, as in no fans, no sounds, nothing on the screen, its reasonable to assume something was damaged when you took off the bottom. If the device does turn on to some level, but wont reach the login screen, that is a different story. Could you clarify what happens when you try to turn on the device?
Did someone recently service the device, or is this a refurbished device? It sounds like either the display cables are getting pinched, or there is a loose connection. If you are comfortable doing so, I would suggest popping off the front cover of the lcd, and checking all the wiring, seeing if the problem remains if you loosen up the wires.
I had a similar problem, and my phone eventually bricked itself after I tried restoring a few times. I ended up sending the phone in to be repaired as I was still under warranty. For my phone, the problem was in the logic board, and the solution was a replacement of the bad board. I suspect this would be the only solution for you situation as well.

"Least Threatening Woman in the World" Self perception and writing
I am the least threatening woman in the world.
When I sat down to write about something, that's the sentence that flew off my fingertips:
And then I thought about what it means.
That one is sort of obvious.
Least –
the smallest extent
Threatening –
There's a lot of definitions for this one, but I think that the one my brain was going for is "causing someone to feel vulnerable or at risk"
In the world –
Wicked hyperbole because I'm an author and we're into hyperbole.
But seriously, I am the sort of woman that even the most insecure people don't care if their spouse texts. This is essentially true in all things work and life related.
Or am I? My perception of myself is pretty unthreatening, but one of my friends recently told me I have no chill and I could totally throw-down. He meant it as a compliment. Another friend told me, "You are so super mellow and chill. What was he talking about?"
Different people perceive us in vastly different ways, but even how we perceive ourselves can be all over the place.
So, when I think, "I am the least threatening person in the world," am I actually just falling into a writer stereotype of self-loathing? Am I really saying, "I'm ugly and boring and nobody is intimidated by me because I'm basically nothing?" Or is it something else?
And why do so many of us writers (and comics, and artists, and bankers, and humans) do this? When this negative self definition is obviously not a helpful tool.
Writers and Self Loathing
Back in 2015, the New York Times asked two writers on their thoughts about writers and self loathing.
Thomas Mallon wrote, "The aggrieved writer's immortal longings represent, finally, a loathing not of the self but of the human condition, a desire to thwart the tragic fact of death. Writing has always offered a particularly good means of doing that."
I read that to a friend and he rolled his eyes. "You aren't self-loathing. You're self deprecating. There's a big difference. You're afraid to claim your success. I think it might be a woman thing or a New England thing or something."
"Are you telling me that I'm afraid of being successful because I'm a woman? Or because I'm from New Hampshire?" I asked.
"Hm," I said because honestly? That's a pretty big assertion that takes a lot to unpack.
Or maybe the self deprecation is because of my New England-ness and me being a woman and told not to 'toot my own horn' because it's "tacky." But maybe it's also a thinking thing. Writers think a lot. We think about humans and society and our place within it. We think about character growth and motivation and that means that we sometimes think a lot about our own selves.
Anna Holmes wrote in that same Times piece, "Although I don't buy the idea that self-loathing is a requirement for writers — I know too many writers, particularly men, who hold themselves in perhaps higher esteem than they should — I do think that writing demands a certain amount of self-awareness, and that self-awareness and self-loathing can be two sides of the same coin."
Being judgmental about who we are, knowing our own flaws and faults, it can be hard. It's hard to face our lack of personal perfection – not just for writers, but for all of us. And while we often give our friends and family space for errors or 'flaws' or screw-ups and forgive and love them anyway? That's not always so hard to do with ourselves. To be self aware means to know we are imperfect. But our imperfections aren't the end of the world. Sometimes it's hard to remember that.
Making Ourselves a Trope
And the thing is that when we write about writers? We are making ourselves a trope and often continuing that cycle of negativity. I remember a couple of years ago when I had a five-second meltdown about how I could never watch another movie or television show about a writer.
"It makes me depressed," I sputtered. "They are all just — they are either super wealthy or alcoholics or creepy."
Apparently, I'm not the only one who has thought this. In 2017, Ben Blatt published a survey of some literature called "Writers are Self-Loathing: 50 Writers on Writers, In Fiction."
Okay. It's fiction, not movies, but it's all about our culture and how we define ourselves.
Blatt wrote, "Writers don't have the best reputation and they have no one to blame but themselves. Instead of writing stories where writers are attractive, heroic, and strong, they describe the writers within their own works as eccentric, depressed, reclusive, broke, and egotistical."
Blatt gives example after example of writers putting writers down, defining them in not a very positive light.
Here are some excerpts that I took from his Signature article.
I'm going to beg the rest of you out there, don't define yourself as miserable, as nothing, as non-threatening, as invisible. Don't believe yourself to be the trope. And maybe think about why that trope is there? Negative self awareness and self loathing and self deprecation. It's like an evil trinity that holds us back, keeps us down. We don't need it.

Steam of Consciousness isn't a Dirty Word Phrase, People
Shaun: Two weeks ago we were hanging out at a friend's house and Carrie met a woman who was talking about writing, and how it helped her through some tough times and how she loved writing, but didn't think she could ever be one.
"It's all stream of consciousness," she said as if it was a bad thing.
This of course broke Carrie's heart.
Carrie: To be fair, my heart is easily broken. Like last week, when one of our friends said that Shaun is the best part of the podcast because he's funny and I'm trying to be informative. Heart broken for me. Happy for the Shaun.
Anyway, since I'm informative, stream of consciousness is a term that William James created a little over a century ago and it means
"… it is nothing joined; it flows. A 'river' or a 'stream' is the metaphors by which it is most naturally described. In talking of it hereafter, let's call it the stream of thought, consciousness, or subjective life."
That's taken from Literary Devices Net, which was quoting Mr. James.
Toni Morrison, Jose Saramago, Beckett, Joyce all use stream-of-consciousness as a narrative construct in their stories.
Shaun: Honestly, our entire podcast is pretty much a stream-of-consciousness narrative. Tomorrow on Carrie's regular blog, she'll have some writing tips about using stream of consciousness.
Dog Tip for Life:
Live in your moment, go with your river of thought.
WRITING TIP OF THE POD:
Don't let anyone ever tell you that your literary constructs or devices or voice isn't cool. You do you.

Mommy Fears (in Honor of the Emster)
In honor of the Emster being home on leave this week, I've conjured up this old blog post about my mommy fears and her innate Emster capabilities.
What I find interesting about this is:
How openly neurotic I have always been.
How she has always been kick-butt.
Here you go:
Okay. You know how when you're a mom you have these certain levels of fear when it comes to your kid? Well, most moms do. Sorry to all you people who are not moms or aren't neurotic. You will probably be bored with this blog post.
So there's the deepest level of Mom Fear, which is that:
1. Your child will be kidnapped on an airplane like in that Jodi Foster movie where she ends up blowing up the airplane in a feat of total mom awesomeness.
2. Your child will be assaulted or violated.
3. Your child will be murdered/seriously injured or threatened to be like in that Denzel Washington movie where he's the bodyguard but he might as well be the dad because he is so amazing to Pita and she even names her teddy bear after him.
4. Your child will marry a ghoul:
Please do not marry him, Em, at least not when he's like this.
But then I have what I call the Secondary Level of Mom Fear, which includes:
My child will starve because I have no income.
My child will become a heroin addict because I suck, etc…
My child will become a monster full of hate.
But also on this Mom fear level is this one:
My child will get on the wrong airplane at the airport.
And yep… It happened.
So the Emster was done with this super cool Fresh Film Program in New York City (thanks to amazing author and human Saundra Mitchell) and she was flying home to Maine. Em did everything right:
1. She got a car and had money to pay it. She got in the car at 8 a.m.
2. She told the driver she wanted to go to US Airways at Laguardia Airport.
3. She buckled her seat belt. Gold star, Em! Gold star!
But then things went wrong. There was an accident. Traffic stalled. She was stuck there for about an hour. But finally they move again. The driver drops her off at the airport, but wait — He drops her off at the United terminal. Em realizes this once she gets inside. She asks for help. Twice. She runs to the shuttle for the other terminal. The shuttle bus doors have just closed. She looks hopeless.
Em is the one smiling with teeth. 😉
Hopeless doesn't work. So, instead she goes into Looking Cute mode. The shuttle bus doors magically open. She asks the driver for help. He tells her to hop on. She does. There are a MILLION stops. They get to the terminal. She goes to the kiosk to get her boarding pass but she doesn't have a credit card and can't pay the $20 for her luggage. Someone else helps. She gives them cash. They don't even make her weigh her suitcase. Score! (Note: Shoes are heavy. Em likes shoes).
She finds the Security Screening. She goes through. She finds her gate. It is 9:30. Her plane is supposed to leave at 10. There is nobody milling around like normal. Em being the astute little camper that she is, goes to the woman at the little podium/counter thing and asks if this is the gate for the Bangor, Maine flight.
Woman: That flight is closed.
Em: !!!!!
She decides to look cute again.
Em is still the same one.
Woman (speaks into walkie-talkie): MUMBLE MUMBLE.
Em: ?????!!!!
Woman (to Em): Okay. You can go out. The plane is on the tarmac.
They let her through the doors. She rushes to the airplane, climbs up the stairs, gets on, looks at her ticket and then says to the flight attendant: Is this the plane to Bangor, Maine?
Flight attendant person: No. This is the plane to Buffalo.
Flight attendant person: The Bangor plane is behind us, I think.
Em runs down the stairs, across the tarmac and towards a plane that was completely obscured by the Buffalo plane. She drops things on the tarmac. She picks things up. She runs. She scrambles up the flight of stairs and says, "Is this the plane to Bangor?"
But wait!
Her seat is gone. They have given it away because she is late.
"NO!!!!!!!!" Em screams.
But they let her sit in the exit row all by herself. She buckles up and makes it. Nobody kidnaps her. She does not fly to Buffalo. She flies home.
And resourceful as heck.
Me: You will write about this some day.
Em: I have already lived it once; I do not want to live it again.
You should totally buy Carrie's book about Moe. It's awesome and quirky and fun. She's heading to Houston, North Carolina, and Virgnia soon, just to talk about it. How cool is that?
