Review: The Dutch House by Ann Patchett
May 30, 2020 June 29, 2020 bookspoils1 Comment
If you needed any convincing to read this book, take this next passage as your sign:
(it's a bit long but so worth the read)
"Mothers were the measure of safety, which meant that I was safer than Maeve. After our mother left, Maeve took up the job on my behalf but no one did the same for her. Of course Sandy and Jocelyn mothered us. They made sure we were washed and fed and that our lunches were packed and our scouting dues paid. They loved us, I know they did, but they went home at the end of the day. There was no crawling into bed with Sandy or Jocelyn when I had a bad dream in the middle of the night, and it never once occurred to me to knock on my father's door. I went to Maeve. She taught me the proper way to hold a fork. She attended my basketball games and knew all my friends and oversaw my homework and kissed me every morning before we went our separate ways to school and again at night before I went to bed regardless of whether or not I wanted to be kissed. She told me repeatedly, relentlessly, that I was kind and smart and fast, that I could be as great a man as I made up my mind to be. She was so good at all that, despite the fact that no one had done it for her."
This rings so true.
The feelings evoked in me while reading The Dutch House were reminiscent of my reading experience with books like The Great Alone, Little Fires Everywhere, and A Spool of Blue Thread (they even have the similar "Oh, Danny"). That is to say, what a journey would await. Maeve was someone to behold.
"Five whole days with you at home," she said, blowing smoke out the open window. "The best five days of the year."
On another note, we're diving right into spoilers from here, it showcases the author's talents that within one page I can hate a character and yet know nothing substantial about them. Ahem, Andrea. You can just tell, like with real people, who spells trouble. Translating that feeling on paper? That's a magical writer right there.
But back to reasons why I love Maeve:
"Maeve was pretty enough and popular enough that she would never have had to stay home on Saturday nights, but for the most part she did, and for the first time I realized it was because of me. She would never have left me alone in the house."
Big sisters. That's it.
"and the way the last bit of light fell over her, she looked like a painting."
She looked like a … painting!! She has long black hair! The painting of the girl on the cover is MAEVE. I knew it held something more about it.
I couldn't stop staring at the cover when I first got my hands on the book. And so I kept feeling drawn like a magnet to it until I finally caved in and picked the book up. Like, it wouldn't leave my head until I had it in my hands. This book was calling to me. Or rather, Maeve was calling to me. I was intrigued.
"Now that she wasn't around to help me with my homework, I wondered for the first time who had ever helped her when she was young."
I never realized just how much my soul needed to read a book about appreciating older sisters as stand-in mothers until I stumbled upon The Dutch House. This is healing. It's the little things no one notices when it comes to taking care of younger siblings, like helping them out with their homework, or those simple moments that arise to remind them of how good they are so those values are instilled from a young age.
"You only think you want to get rid of your sister," Jocelyn said, clapping her hand on my shoulder in a firm manner so as not to embarrass me. "Then when she's gone it turns out you miss her."
I wonder if this feeling has a name. It evokes the most acute emotion.
Not only does this book represent the part of an older sister fully committed to her younger sibling, it's the loss of a childhood home that cannot go by unnoticed. It reverberates throughout your life. The hurt these next passages encompass cannot be overstated:
"The idiocy of what we took and what we left cannot be overstated. We packed up clothes and shoes I would outgrow in six months, and left behind the blanket at the foot of my bed my mother had pieced together out of her dresses."
"and there were some other things—yearbooks, a couple boxes of novels she'd already read, some dolls she was saving for the daughter she was sure she would have one day, all in the attic under the eaves and behind the tiny door in the back of the third-floor bedroom closet. Did Andrea even know about that space? Maeve had shown it to the girls the night of the house tour, but would they remember or ever think to look in there again? Or would those boxes just belong to the house now, sealed into the wall like a time capsule from her youth?"
You'll forever think about the things you didn't take.
"I always imagined the house would die without us. I don't know, I thought it would crumple up. Do houses ever die of grief?"
The longwinded realization that at the end of the day a house is just that, a house, came to me after years and years. The house stays the same for the most part. You're the one who changes through the years.
What a powerful story.
Like I said earlier, The Dutch House reminds me distinctly of The Great Alone. It's that sense of togetherness and loyalty you feel as the reader to these book characters. Maeve was the star of this book for me. The quiet star that shines the brightest but is set aside too often. She never got quite what she deserved. She worked the hardest of them all and was never fully redeemed, especially with a character like Celeste to remind her of that. And who is Celeste to say those things? Her name says all you need to know about her character.
Celeste wasn't listening. Where Maeve was concerned she didn't listen. "At what point do you say to her, Okay, it was an awful childhood, it's a terrible thing to be rich and then not be rich, but now everybody has to grow up?"
People like her are why people like Andrea exist.
Celeste never fully understands the sacrifice Maeve had to make to ensure Danny's well being. Celeste never thinks about why Maeve took on that job she thinks is beneath her (to stay closer to Danny) or why she lives where she does (to stay closer to Danny). Maeve served everyone but herself, and it upsets me to think someone so privileged – so entitled to their privilege they aren't even aware of it – has the audacity to judge Maeve. It reminded me of this brilliant line in the poem, To this day:
When a kid who could still go home to mom and dad
Had the audacity to tell him "get over it"
Though my hatred wasn't Andrea-level, it felt pretty close. Why? This passage hits it right on:
"Those are my two choices? I love her or I hate her?"
"Well," my sister said, "you're telling me you didn't hate her, so I just want to know what the parameters are. I think it's a ridiculous conversation to be having in the first place, if you want my opinion. Say there's a kid who lives next door, a kid you have no particular friendship with but no problems with either. Then one day he walks into your house and kills your sister with a baseball bat."
"Maeve, for the love of God."
She held up her hand. "Hear me out. Does that present fact obliterate the past? Maybe not if you loved the kid. Maybe if you loved the kid you'd dig in and try to find out what had happened, see things from his perspective, wonder what his parents had done to him, wonder if there wasn't some chemical imbalance. You might even consider that your sister could have played a role in the outcome—did she torment this boy? Was she cruel to him? But you'd only wonder about that if you loved him. If you only liked the kid, if he was never anything more to you than an okay neighbor, I don't see the point in scratching around for good memories. He's gone to prison. You're never going to see the son-of-a-bitch again."
I love her.
I was so attached to Maeve that seeing her receive the bare minimum was beyond painful to read. Give her a break! Not only did Maeve have to deal with someone like Andrea in her youth, on top of taking care of her younger sibling, she now receives someone like Celeste in her adulthood to battle with. Needless to say she did not receive the ending I thought she deserved. This book is depressing, too much like reality. I'm already hurt in real life. Give me at least some semblance of a happy ending for characters that deserve it the most in books. This, too, reminds me of my experience with The Great Alone.
Join me and read the opening chapter for yourself. You'll be hooked.

Cynical Hopeless Romantic Reads Pride and Prejudice
May 15, 2020 November 29, 2020 bookspoils2 Comments
I'm escaping reality to read Pride and Prejudice. I need a substantial feel-good book. It's what she deserves
(Scroll down for spoilery commentary as I go along)
First and foremost, the ultimate way to enjoy Pride and Prejudice: Jennifer Ehle reading it to you. Just close your eyes and let her serene voice guide your imagination. You can't go wrong with her accessible bite-sized readings of two-three chapters per video. These sittings brought me that same nostalgic comfort of being read to by your favorite teacher in third-grade.
"She is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me; I am in no humour at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men."
oof, that never stops hurting.
"He is just what a young man ought to be," said she, "sensible, good-humoured, lively; and I never saw such happy manners!"
I wonder why it is that even with someone as kind as Mr. Bingley around, I still choose to favor Mr. Darcy. . .
"Mrs. Long told me last night that he sat close to her for half-an-hour without once opening his lips."
Darcy is me at public gatherings
"Miss Bingley told me," said Jane, "that he never speaks much, unless among his intimate acquaintances. With them he is remarkably agreeable."
Darcy, representing introverts everywhere
"That is very true," replied Elizabeth, "and I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine."
This line flows so nicely that I have to utter it along with the narrator
"Occupied in observing Mr. Bingley's attentions to her sister, Elizabeth was far from suspecting that she was herself becoming an object of some interest in the eyes of his friend."
Oh! It's happening!
"But no sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends that she hardly had a good feature in her face, than he began to find it was rendered uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes. To this discovery succeeded some others equally mortifying."
Crushes develop slowly and then all at once. It's like the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon of becoming ultra-aware of something/someone. You start seeing them in everything
"He began to wish to know more of her, and as a step towards conversing with her himself, attended to her conversation with others."
In the movie, Darcy asking Elizabeth to dance seems to drop out nowhere, but now I see the attention to detail, like him slowly creeping near her to catch her eye
"Indeed, sir, I have not the least intention of dancing. I entreat you not to suppose that I moved this way in order to beg for a partner."
Oh, I like this
"A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony, in a moment."
Only when it comes to Darcy
"If I wished to think slightingly of anybody's children, it should not be of my own, however."
Mrs. Bennet can be named a lot of things, but she's a fierce mother, first and foremost.
"The former was divided between admiration of the brilliancy which exercise had given to her complexion, and doubt as to the occasion's justifying her coming so far alone."
Oh, finally! I was in dire need to know what was circling through Darcy's mind upon Elizabeth's arrival
"I am afraid, Mr. Darcy," observed Miss Bingley in a half whisper, "that this adventure has rather affected your admiration of her fine eyes."
"Not at all," he replied; "they were brightened by the exercise." "
hmm, really. . . .
"He immediately offered to fetch her others—all that his library afforded.
"And I wish my collection were larger for your benefit and my own credit"
Bingley is the only respite in this room of elites
"What a delightful library you have at Pemberley, Mr. Darcy!"
"It ought to be good," he replied, "it has been the work of many generations."
"And then you have added so much to it yourself, you are always buying books."
Ha! Is bingley playing matchmaker for Darcy and Elizabeth?
"Is Miss Darcy much grown since the spring?" said Miss Bingley; "will she be as tall as I am?"
"I think she will. She is now about Miss Elizabeth Bennet's height, or rather taller."
I see you, Mr. Darcy, dropping Elizabeth's name in any conversation to catch her attention
"All this she must possess," added Darcy, "and to all this she must yet add something more substantial, in the improvement of her mind by extensive reading."
closes book
"she had no wish of her recovering immediately, as her restoration to health would probably remove her from Netherfield."
Interesting that this scene with Mrs. Bennet appears so soon after Darcy's remark: "Whatever bears affinity to cunning is despicable."
"I did not know before," continued Bingley immediately, "that you were a studier of character. It must be an amusing study."
"Yes, but intricate characters are the most amusing. They have at least that advantage."
Cue Darcy walking in
"But if it be only a slight, thin sort of inclination, I am convinced that one good sonnet will starve it entirely away."
Darcy only smiled; and the general pause which ensued made Elizabeth tremble lest her mother should be exposing herself again."
he. . . smiled!
"But do you always write such charming long letters to her, Mr. Darcy?"
"They are generally long; but whether always charming it is not for me to determine."
men who actually care for their younger siblings>>>
"Nothing is more deceitful," said Darcy, "than the appearance of humility. It is often only carelessness of opinion, and sometimes an indirect boast."
The page that follows is the most Darcy has ever said
I was reading some chapters by myself utterly lost in the text. So I ran back to Jennifer Ehle's narration and suddenly all confusion was cleared up. She's p&p magic. She makes the text sound like a movie, never like a classic book that you were required to read. She even has a voice for each character so subtly done that you don't even feel it till you pay notice. (I love her Lady Catherine voice.)
"Elizabeth could not help observing, as she turned over some music-books that lay on the instrument, how frequently Mr. Darcy's eyes were fixed on her."
Oh, we know. Let me refer you to:
https://bookspoils.tumblr.com/post/617722705185292288/darcy-looking-at-elizabeth
"and Darcy had never been so bewitched by any woman as he was by her. He really believed, that were it not for the inferiority of her connections, he should be in some danger."
You start the sentence with a smile and then end with one of these:
"As for your Elizabeth's picture, you must not have it taken, for what painter could do justice to those beautiful eyes?"
"It would not be easy, indeed, to catch their expression, but their colour and shape, and the eyelashes, so remarkably fine, might be copied."
I feel this most acutely in this scene:
And can we talk a minute about how Miss Bingley is such a Regina George here, thinking that teasing Darcy about Elizabeth will reduce his interest. Mentioning Elizabeth just makes him think about her more. And referring to Elizabeth jokingly as "your lady" will just make him think about her more in that way, Einstein.
Mr. Darcy felt their rudeness, and immediately said:
"This walk is not wide enough for our party. We had better go into the avenue."
He likes arguing with Elizabeth but also sticks up for her? Get you a man that can do both
"and she removed at his desire to the other side of the fireplace, that she might be further from the door. He then sat down by her, and talked scarcely to anyone else."
Jane and Bingley are unparalleled
"I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library."
I can't believe this brilliant piece was delivered by Miss Bingley, of all people, in an attempt to impress a clueless Darcy. I do feel rather impartial to her in those moments when she's trying so hard to be in his favor and he pays her no mind. I guess that's one theme that survives the ages.
"Miss Bingley succeeded no less in the real object of her civility; Mr. Darcy looked up. He was as much awake to the novelty of attention in that quarter as Elizabeth herself could be, and unconsciously closed his book."
when closes book makes a comeback… it's serious
"if the first, I would be completely in your way, and if the second, I can admire you much better as I sit by the fire."
I can just imagine his smug smile…
"My good opinion once lost is lost forever."
I can hear the echo of Matthew Macfadyen's voice in P&P 2005
"He began to feel the danger of paying Elizabeth too much attention."
"Mr. Darcy looked a little ashamed of his aunt's ill-breeding, and made no answer."
I have to laugh at that line! This mirrors the very image of Lizzy's reaction at the ball when her mother, sitting right across from Darcy, was boasting of the advantageous marriage pertaining to Jane and Mr. Bingley.
"she thought he looked a little confused as he answered that he had never been so fortunate as to meet Miss Bennet."
and yet you appear to have separated them. In truth, I didn't realize how much we could circle back to that conversation on humility and friendship. Bingley is influenced easily this way or that. It was foreshadowing! Like Darcy said, if someone told him to stay a week he would do so readily without inquiring the reasons for and against! So the same with the Jane situation. Darcy advised against Jane and Bingley didn't think twice about it and was easily persuaded against her. Darcy simply mentioned that he has an inkling that Jane wasn't as fully invested as he seems to be in her. Bingley didn't inquire further, he just cut his losses then and there without offering a pensive thought into it.
here is the original passage: "Allowing the case, however, to stand according to your representation, you must remember, Miss Bennet, that the friend who is supposed to desire his return to the house, and the delay of his plan, has merely desired it, asked it without offering one argument in favour of its propriety."
I didn't realize then that Darcy speaking at length for the first time would lead to being such a substantial moment that reverberates along the novel. Of course, it would.
"She had once or twice suggested to Elizabeth the possibility of his being partial to her, but Elizabeth always laughed at the idea;"
Twice now that Charlotte – who I now have to refer to as Mrs. Collins, what a shock -has been dismissed when her observations are utterly right. First, how jane's impassiveness might work against her with Mr Bingley. And now, how Darcy is partial to Elizabeth. Charlotte is very aware of her surroundings. She's no fool.
The Big Scene™ arrives, finally. All I've been waiting for since the start of the book. It's my aesthetic:
i think about this every day pic.twitter.com/U9O6VyxYml

If anything, I like seeing this first proposal, which is pompous and all about how he has struggled "in vain," if only to know what the second proposal awaits. He will be much kinder. The second proposal will be about doing him the honor of becoming his wife. Instead of this moment where he's like, it'll be your honor not mine. He's quite full of himself. Neither I nor Elizabeth appreciate it.
"I have been walking in the grove some time in the hope of meeting you. Will you do me the honour of reading that letter?"
I'm glad he didn't wait too long to deliver his letter of explanation. It's better to give it before she's simmering in her disdain of him. Also, him thinking over their argument enough to write a letter is already a change for the better. Warning: An important distinction to make here is that Elizabeth doesn't go into a relationship with Darcy hoping to change his bitter ways. He changes himself for the better first and then presents himself to her in the hopes of being accepted.
I can't decide what's sweeter: Mr. Wicked– ahem, I mean, Mr. Wickham getting exposed by Darcy. Or that fiery back-and-forth that Elizabeth spewed at Darcy… We've already discussed the latter. So let's focus on the fall of Mr. Wicked Wickham.
"She tried to recollect some instance of goodness, some distinguished trait of integrity or benevolence, that might rescue him from the attacks of Mr. Darcy; or at least, by the predominance of virtue, atone for those casual errors under which she would endeavour to class what Mr. Darcy had described as the idleness and vice of many years' continuance. But no such recollection befriended her."
And this right here illustrates why it's important when you "love" someone to know exactly the reasons behind it. So that when you're offered a sudden twist to their character, you are able to recall those moments of kindness or goodness that made you fall in "love." Otherwise, you were simply deceived by your feelings into thinking him the same man you made up in your head. Thank you, Jane Austen, for explaining it so fully.
"She perfectly remembered everything that had passed in conversation between Wickham and herself, in their first evening at Mr. Phillips's. Many of his expressions were still fresh in her memory. She was now struck with the impropriety of such communications to a stranger, and wondered it had escaped her before."
This says it all!! However exciting it may be to be approached so suddenly by a handsome man, the fact is that Mr. Wickham is a stranger to Elizabeth at that moment. If he's so eager and willing to approach her, a stranger, then he might feel safe to do the same to another stranger even when they're together.
This moment of discovery might be more worthwhile than reading Darcy's professions of love. To suddenly look at someone without those rose-colored glasses creates a full 180 effect. I live for rare moments like these.
And this is how her good opinion on Darcy starts: with his love letter. Rereading it over and over. Imagining him speculating over what to write. Feeling his feelings.
"She studied every sentence; and her feelings towards its writer were at times widely different."
If we're being frank, I relied heavily on Darcy's back-and-forth with Elizabeth, and of course, Bingley's kindness with Jane. Without it, the book went by excruciatingly slow. I don't care for Mr. Collins or Mrs. Bennet, or the extravagant house tours, dinner parties, and garden walks. Really, all I was seeking was more Darcy. Unfortunately, he was given to us only near the end.
Coming into this after reading New Moon (we all remember the pain with that one, my review title gives it all away: New Moon Gave Me Trust Issues), I was just done with having to wait for the love interest to grace us with his appearance. I didn't have any patience left. However, unlike the Twilight book, Pride and Prejudice made the wait feel worthwhile. Seeing Darcy's change of character was everything I needed.
I just have to say, it is so wonderful reading Pride and Prejudice when I'm simply basking in the glory that the hardships between Darcy and Elizabeth are left behind us. They're actually enjoying each other's company now! and they're talking and blushing! blushing! ! !
"Of the lady's sensations they remained a little in doubt; but that the gentleman was overflowing with admiration was evident enough."
Oh, you can tell by that loving smile.
Let's roll with the momentum so that I can share some of my favorite Darcy moments:
"They were confined for the evening at different tables, and she had nothing to hope, but that his eyes were so often turned towards her side of the room, as to make him play as unsuccessfully as herself."
The tension! ! ! This is felt throughout the book. We're so close yet so far away. . . .
It's never about the grand proclamations of love for me, rather the subtle moments that lead to those big moments, like Darcy staying with Elizabeth when she's distressed over family news, or keeping his promise of taking her uncle fishing, and of course, wanting to introduce his two favorite women to each other: his sister, Miss Darcy, and Elizabeth. And the simple fact of him awaiting to accompany her on her walks just to spent time aimlessly wandering together.
But the most romantic scene of all lives in this moment:
"If you will thank me," he replied, "let it be for yourself alone. That the wish of giving happiness to you might add force to the other inducements which led me on, I shall not attempt to deny. But your family owe me nothing. Much as I respect them, I believe I thought only of you."
He did it… for her! And then all it took for him to propose a second time is for her to just talk to him after all this time spent staring from afar. And I'm glad for it. We don't have time to waste when it comes to these two. Oh, help, I sound like Mrs. Bennet.
Hearing this all play out with Your Hands Are Cold in the background is all I need.
To add to that, the true hilarity of what finally brings them together doesn't escape me: Lady Catherine, of all people. She riled up Elizabeth. The two unite at last to ridicule her ladyship.
"Lady Catherine has been of infinite use, which ought to make her happy, for she loves to be of use. "
It's interesting that with these two introverts in love there must always be one to speak up to break their introverted ways. In our case it's Elizabeth. Thankfully.
"You might have talked to me more when you came to dinner."
"A man who had felt less, might."
"How unlucky that you should have a reasonable answer to give, and that I should be so reasonable as to admit it! But I wonder how long you would have gone on, if you had been left to yourself. I wonder when you would have spoken, if I had not asked you!"
Also, the elephant in the room: Lydia Bennet, or rather Mrs. Wickham, is something else entirely. I feel like Lizzy's speech for Darcy's "selfish disdain of the feelings of others" is better reserved for Lydia. You can tell her age by her ideas of marriage. She sees it as nothing more than a game!
"She longed to see Mrs. Phillips, the Lucases, and all their other neighbours, and to hear herself called "Mrs. Wickham" by each of them; and in the mean time, she went after dinner to show her ring, and boast of being married, to Mrs. Hill and the two housemaids."
She has no implication of what marriage entails and what it possesses other than showing off your ring, which won't be so shiny in a year's time.
"I am sure my sisters must all envy me. I only hope they may have half my good luck. "
This says it all. Lydia wanted to win the game of "Who will marry first?" Wait and see the glorious men your sisters will marry… Her adoration for Wickham won't last long in comparison.
"But you know married women have never much time for writing. My sisters may write to 𝘮𝘦. They will have nothing else to do."
um, chile… anyways
Let us end on a good note in praise of a most beloved family member: Mrs. Gardiner.
"It originated in Mrs. Gardiner, who, fatigued by the exercise of the morning, found Elizabeth's arm inadequate to her support, and consequently preferred her husband's. Mr. Darcy took her place by her niece, and they walked on together."
Meet the original wing-woman of the 1800s:
Ah! Speaking of the movie, I did post my immediate thoughts upon first viewing the 2005 adaptation. I titled it appropriately: You Have Bewitched Me Body and Soul, Mr. Darcy.

So, I decided to do an experiment to finally get a solid (no pun intended!) guide for beeswax to oil measurements for different types of concoctions!
I don't like salves that are too hard or too soft, so I decided to experiment with the middle range of ratios of 1:3, 1:4 and 1:5 (beeswax to oil). The type of oil makes a difference in the texture of the salve/balm as well. Jojoba wax is my go to oil, because of the golden color, the lightly nutty scent and because its chemical composition is similar to human sebum, so it is generally non-allergenic. Coconut oil is nice, too. I use that sometimes.
But today's experiment is being done with beeswax and jojoba.
How hard is the salve to the touch?
How quickly does the salve melt and give a nice soothing feeling on the skin?
Does the salve feel smooth or is it sticky?
I started with my double boiler and my sample jars.
1:3 You can see on the tip of the glass stirrer it is a more firm salve. This is harder salve. It is not soft to the touch, the surface had to be pressed and then scraped with my fingernail to gather some up. When I rubbed it on my skin, it is a bit sticky. For me, this is closer to a lip balm than a healing salve feeling.
1:4 Still a firmer salve, as you can see on the tip of the glass stirrer. But the salve surface is decidedly easier to break than the 1:3 salve. Nice feeling of being able to access the salve. Melts quickly when I rub it into my skin and feels like a nice, warm healing experience.
1:5 You can see on the tip of the glass stirrer it is a wetter salve. The surface breaks easily and then it is a mushy experience. Too oily/greasy for me to feel like a healing salve when I rubbed it into my skin.
I wanted to show you a comparison of some brand name salves as compared to my experiments, for reference. The 1:5 is similar to a leading brand that tends to be more sticky. And the 1:3 is similar to a leading brand that tends to be harder. You get to decide what you like better! For lip balm, I'd use the firmer 1:3 ratio and for a warming skin salve I'd use the 1:4 softer and silkier salve.
As I've said before, making your own herbal infusions and salves is like cooking! It's a relaxing, creative and flexible process. If you've been cooking for a while, over the years, you've developed your own style and have your own take on lots of dishes! Creativity and flexibility is indicative of an accomplished cook! Making herbal infusions and salves is the same type of process. So have fun!

Activated Charcoal is a type of carbon prepared by distillation of such materials as wood, vegetables and coconut shells. It is a fine, black powder composed of largely pure carbon. Activated Charcoal has been treated with oxygen to open up millions of tiny pores between the carbon atoms. The large surface area of Activated Charcoal confers a great absorptive capacity to this material. It is this great absorptive capacity that is the basis for its many industrial as well as medical uses.

Akebia, chocolate vine, is considered invasive in some states, and is not a native plant to the US. It does not invade by either seed or root here in western Kentucky, but it is a fast grower and its vines rapidly reach upward and to each side claiming anything in their way. It will strangle whatever grows nearby. It's beautiful if trained to a stand alone trellis and its delicate tiny blooms provide that amazing chocolate scent in the very early part of March and April.
My 10-year-old plant stays evergreen on the south side of my house, where I've trained it on a string to trail from post to post on my porch. I've woven the new growth in a lacelike fashion, back and forth through the years. Everyone wants to know what it is. It makes insignificant small maroon flowers. I've been told they should smell like vanilla, but I find them pretty much odorless. Each year I plant a different vining flowered annual to give it color. This year it's 'Ruby Moon' Hyacinth Bean.

Shaykh-ul-Islam speaks at Georgetown University in Washington DC
Previous Article Islamic Concept of Jihad, special address at USIP
Next Article Shaykh ul Islam Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri's powerful speech at GPU 2010
8th Nov, Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri speaks at Georgetown University in the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding
Following the successful anti-terrorism fatwa in March 2010, Shaykh ul Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri was invited by renowned scholar Professor John Esposito to speak at Georgetown University, Washington D.C.
Prof John Esposito introduced Shaykh ul Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri and invited him to speak to an audience which included US-government officials, cadets from US Army, Navy and Air Force as well as academicians, policy makers and representatives of various organisations and agencies. Former Director of Operations of World Bank, Mr Ziad Alahdad was also present.
Shaykh ul Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri focused his speech on the clarification of the concept of Jihad in Islam, concept of Khawarij and clarification on Dar al-Islam/ Dar al-Harb.
He said that Jihad guarantees the establishment of global peace and social welfare-oriented nations. He declared that Jihadi groups have misinterpreted the concept of jihad. Shaykh ul Islam clarified that "the literal meaning of jihad is exertion, struggling, striving, and putting extreme efforts according to extreme abilities, to counter evil, to achieve good for sake of Allah."
He added that "The defensive struggle against your enemy, defensive struggle against your lower-self, hatred, arrogance, corruption is one dimension of jihad. And this is for the Safety for mankind not for killing of mankind."
Furthermore Shaykh ul Islam spoke about the ideology of terrorists which is the continuity of Khawarij (Kharajites) and they are not Muslims. It was the first group that attacked the fourth Caliph Hazrat Ali (RA), and founded the tradition of killing and violence under the excuse of establishing the Qur'anic rule. He elaborated various signs provided in various Hadith reports about the outlook of Khawarij.
The radicals have misguided the younger generation by declaring the Western and some Muslim nations as dar al-harb. Shaykh ul Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri rejected that view and introduced an alternative.
The category is the Muslim-majority countries with Muslim rulers and these are considered part of dar al-Islam (Abode of Peace), which is based on providing peace and security and freedom of religion to the people. He emphasized that majority of countries are dar al-Ahd (Abode of permanent peace treaty) which includes all the countries which are part of the UNO which introduced the international treaty of peace.
The category of dar al-harb (Abode of war) only applies to states with no peace treaties and which are currently in direct war with Muslim-majority states and/or where Muslims are unsafe in that country. However, in Islam even in warfare there are strict rules of conduct to follow. The Muslim army during warfare cannot even target or harm non-combatants, children, old men or women. In the light of manifest Islamic injunctions, terrorism has absolutely no place what so ever.
Shaykh ul Islam's speech left no doubt on any point he made. He entertained various questions in the Q&A session which clarified many concepts. In the end Prof John Esposito thanked Shaykh ul Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri for speaking in Washington and was very pleased with the lecture.

You can watch any new type of show online on Apple TV. You can also watch all the popular TV shows like friends, Netflix prime video, the fridge prince of bell air on the internet.
You can't watch your favorite TV shows because of your busy schedule. So we have arranged in this post to watch TV shows online to enjoy your busy life. So you can watch your online TV show anywhere.
15 Best TV Series on Apple TV:-
Most have not finished a series on Apple TV. Although some have finished their second series from the original series. But you have the experience to judge whether a subject is too good to be true. We've included some recent headlines for you to see in this post. Which currently allows for good TV shows? However, we can guarantee that you will be able to watch a variety of headlines on TV.
So, let's take a look at the Apple TV shows that you should watch in 2022.
15 Best Shows on Apple TV you should Watch:-
We know that people love to watch all kinds of TV shows. If the services of choice of the people suddenly shut down, then a big turn will be off. Here we will provide different types of farmers online for free. These issues are discussed in detail below.
The After Party:-
After Party 2 Just Four Episodes So Many Time Off Writing A New Addition to Apple TV Catalog. This series is about the college union after-party where host X Xavier has a mysterious situation. For example, the detective enters the scene suspecting everyone present at the party in an attempt to find the culprits.
So a fun way to watch is where everyone can remember the events from their points of view. Here is a good mix of romantic comedy, action thriller, and suspense. There's a mix of animals that give the series an incredible service.
Mr. Corman:-
Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a public school teacher in the San Fernando Valley, Mr. Corman digs into feelings of anxiety and fear of existence. The show is the brainchild of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the director, writer, and producer of this single-season TV show. Fortunately, the show was canceled after only one season due to Apple TV + failing to meet the demand of viewers. Still, we can't ignore the beautiful cinematography and musical play, which uniquely grabs the viewer's attention. The show has seemed a bit unfocused in recent episodes; It relates to many audiences and forces us to think deeply about our own choices and what the people around us are doing. In short, the comedy series is eye candy with great cinematography and related content.
Dickinson:-
Anyone interested in English poetry has heard of Emily Dickinson at least once. He was not well known in his lifetime but is now considered one of the most influential figures in American poetry. The series, Dickinson, is a story of the arrival of Emily Dickinson and how she fought in an inferior world from her point of view. The show consists of 3 seasons, each with ten episodes including notable writing and directing. However, if you are looking for information-based history, you will be disappointed. Producer Alana Smith has taken artistic freedom to make the series even more romantic by twisting many real events that have happened and have not happened. Still, the show beautifully portrays the protagonist's bold approach to society, gender, and family limitations. Emily's struggle to get her voice heard makes the series one of a kind, as the director combines historical events with modern touches.
Meanwhile, Hailey Seinfeld's performance is breathtaking. Her role as Dickinson and Kate Bishop's Emily in the Marvel series hockey has paved the way for a brighter future. In short, Dickinson is a must-see comedy series that peeks into the life of a budding writer in adverse circumstances. Her advanced thinking is really inspiring.
Defending Jacob:-
Whenever a series or movie adaptation of a best-selling book occurs, critics take it to heart to verify the content. Fortunately, defending Jacob works well and is praised by critics for his great storytelling and fictional acting. It is a live-action adaptation of William Land's novel of the same name, published in 2012. The book became a bestseller in the New York Times as a result of the TV show Mark Blowback, made for Apple TV +. The miniseries revolves around the barber family as they try to save their son Jacob from a heinous murder charge. Each episode points to a new culprit, keeping the mystery alive until the last moment.
Meanwhile, you will fall in love again with Chris Evans' over-the-top performance. He stole every scene of the show. It's nice to see him come out of his comfort zone and do something serious and funny. In short, Defending Jacob is a masterpiece miniseries of eight episodes. The mystery drama will keep you in your seat while enjoying every bit of the show.
See:-
Whether it's Game of Thrones Canal Dragon or Aqua man of DC Universe, Jason Momma is mesmerized in every role in his eye-popping performance. Similarly, he played the lead role of Baba Voss in the Apple TV + sci-fi show, See. The TV series has become one of the most popular shows on Apple TV +, winning several awards for its performance and presenting the show's authenticity. Look to a dystopian future where people have lost their sight. At this time people have to rely on food collection, hunting, survival, and other means of communication with other people. However, the situation is even worse when two brothers are born blind, who are now considered only apostates. So when the news spread, the queen ordered the children and their biological fathers to be hunted. Now, Baba Vaasa has to protect his family and clan from the hands of the queen. In short, see a dystopian future in a balanced combination of the Middle Ages.
Foundation:-
Foundation is a live-action adaptation of Isaac Asimov's story series of the same name. The series explores a future of the human race scattered across the planets across the galaxy ruled by the Galactic Empire. A group of exiles discovered that the only way to save the Galactic Empire from destruction was to disobey it, thus leading to disaster throughout the galaxy. The Foundation successfully integrates different aspects of the old and new world, such as dynastic rule, divination, magic, science, mathematics, and fortune. Apple has spent a fortune creating believable special effects for their future space-themed series. It combines great effort with resistance to rebellion and oppression from a technical point of view and through proven storytelling. I hope this show will be a torchbearer in the sci-fi section for the main content of Apple TV +.
Ted Lasso:-
What should you expect when someone with no coaching football experience is hired as a team consultant in the English Premier League? You want a hint; Lots of fun. Ted Lasso is an American football coach who gave the best advice to a college team. However, when Rebecca Walton hired him to coach an international football team playing in the AFC Richmond, EPL, everything changed for her. She hopes that she will fail so that she can take revenge on the previous owner of the team, her unfaithful ex-husband. However, Ted's charm, humor, and personality soon won over anyone who was skeptical of Rebecca, the team, and the appointment. The show has some great characters, great acting, and great writing. Aside from the humor caused by Ted's inexperience in coaching a football team, it's incredible to combine his past stories to bring out his life perspectives and life lessons.
The Morning Show:-
Starring some great actors like Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, The Morning Show is a messy, star-studded morning news drama. The show has a high budget and a wild story. Viewers were disappointed to see the dazzling performance of the story, which did not focus on a single plot and continued to follow a new theme in each episode. Still, the show is interesting enough and you will see the next episode. The fast-paced story keeps the audience interested by introducing new material every few minutes. The author also covers some of the most talked-about topics in the world, such as the movement and the Bovid epidemic.
Physical:-
Physical Hall is a journey to find inspiration in rock albino aerobics in the early 1980s. The plot grows when he is insecure and lost in life. She decides to pursue her old hobby, ballet but finds the studio closed, returns to her unhealthy lifestyle of eating junk food, and descends into a negative self-image. However, he soon discovered aerobics and found himself curiously interested in the dance + fitness system. He started building an empire for himself with new business opportunities in aerobics. Physically in the 80s, it may seem like a nostalgia journey, but it is not a dark comedy series that reveals the hard truth about the main character. That said, Rose Byrne has done a great job with a character you can't like but can't ignore.
For all Mankind:-
The 1960s were a turning point for humanity when Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon. Without it, people like Elon Musk wouldn't be able to think of colonizing Mars, or would things get worse? "For all mankind" explores the possibility of what would have happened if the Soviet Union had defeated the United States in a space war. In fact, NASA has become the first agency to reach the moon. However, the show presents an alternative timeline where the Soviet Union became the first country to reach the moon, with rapid development continuing space warfare for decades. It is a mixture of drama, thriller, and sci-fi approaches in world politics.
Mythic Quest:-
Legendary Quest is a fast-paced work environment comedy series about a gaming company and the team behind it. The series begins with the announcement of an expansion called Raven's Banquet for the company's flagship game. Soon the team began their healthy debate about announcing the start of the comedy series. All the cast characters come together with a strong narrative. Meanwhile, each character has its own level with an important subplot. The technology that a technology company may encounter, such as monetization problems, negative feedback from users, and more, keeps the show's writing relevant to the real world. Overall, the series is light and humorous, with interesting characters and funny writing.
Home Before Dark:-
Home Before Dark is a mystery, crime, and drama series about a nine-year-old girl. With her parents, she moved to a small town that her father had left long ago. His curious nature and interest in journalism led him to a cold case that the whole city tried so hard to bury. He finally finds the clue and resolves the case with his sharp mind and strong will. Home before Dark has a sloping side and you can get lost in the episodes, however, it is enough to keep you stuck in your seat all season. Viewers have also appreciated how the second season ended and it seems the show has created a great story. Some moments feel a bit stretched, but it doesn't affect the overall quality of the show.
Schmigadoon:-
Schmigadoon is a tribute to 1950s and 60s classic musicals. The name itself is a parody of the 1947 musical Brigadoon, which shares a similar plot. The story begins with two New York doctors, Melissa and Josh, going on a backpacking trip to repair their failed relationship. However, they are still arguing with themselves over trivial matters. They go through the fog and accidentally discover a magical city in Shamigadun. The whole village has served as a classic musical instrument since the mid-20th century. The couple realized that if they ever wanted to return to the country, they would have to find the real meaning of their love. At first, I did not like the name of the series. However, this is one of the best comedies I've ever seen. The music scores are all beautiful and soothing to the ears. However, as the scene progressed I forgot about them; they lacked a memorable element. Overall, the show is shot in an old musical style; paying homage to them and helping it stand out from any other Apple TV + series.
Trying:-
Trying to follow the lives of Nick and Jason, a married couple is trying to conceive a child. However, they have learned that they are not able to do it naturally. So the couple decided to adopt a child to continue their family. Not surprisingly, the adoption process brings with it the challenges that couples need to take to become better people. The whole plot ridiculously describes the parents trying to have children. I loved the happy background music throughout the series. It provides a warm and comfortable feeling while watching the show. You can watch this show because it focuses on keeping things light and talking less, it relates to all the couples in the early stages of their marriage, making it a favorite show by default.
Little America:-
Inspired by true stories, Little America talks about the lives of immigrants in the United States. The plot now seems more relevant than ever due to the current situation in the United States. This series explores the stories of people of different nationalities and their struggles when faced with problems due to immigration laws. Overall, the series is sometimes comic and sometimes heartbreaking to watch. It contains all the emotions that can be expected from a drama series. The show tries to present humility and forces the audience to think about the racial differences in our culture. You will cry like a baby and laugh louder than before while watching this show. The range of emotions combined in all the stories is clear and significant.
Hopefully, through this post, I have been able to tell you about the Apple tv. Did you find the site you are looking for? The only thing you need to keep in mind is to stay away from certain websites. If you want to know something, you can ask through the comments below.

Green-on-green Alfa Romeo 8C-based Disco Volante Spyder listed for sale
Ronan Glon
See Full Image Gallery >>
There is no unwritten rule that states an Alfa Romeo must be red, and there is no secret decree that claims an Italian car can't wear British Racing Green. Proving both of these points with aplomb is this rare 2019 Alfa Romeo 8C-based Disco Volante Spyder, which is finished in green with a green interior and listed for sale in Switzerland.
Offered by exotic car dealer Niki Hasler, this Disco Volante Spyder is the fourth of seven examples built by Italian coachbuilder Touring Superleggera. When the model made its debut in 2016, we reported that each of the seven cars would be painted in a different color, and our consumer editor Jeremy Korzeniewski wrote that he hoped one would be painted green like an earlier coupe shown at a Geneva show. His wish has come true. British Racing Green works quite well on the retro-styled lines, which were penned as a modern interpretation of the original Disco Volante built in 1952.
The person who ordered this Disco Volante also asked for a matching green interior upholstered in a combination of leather and Alcantara. Touring Superleggera added a plaque between the seats to remind occupants of the car's rarity, but most of the parts that the driver sees and interacts with come straight from the 8C Competizione.
It's all Alfa under the hood, too. Touring made no major mechanical modifications to the Disco Volante, so it's powered by a Ferrari-derived, 8C-sourced 4.7-liter V8 engine that delivers 450 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels via a six-speed automated-manual transmission. The 2019 example listed for sale in Switzerland has covered 16,000 kilometers, which represents approximately 10,000 miles, so it hasn't spent its life as a garage queen. It recently received new tires and new brakes, according to the dealer.
Unmodified, it's equipped with a useful lift system for the front axle; we can't imagine the front splitter is cheap to replace if it loses a fight with a speed bump. As a bonus, this Disco Volante comes with a matching luggage set.
Niki Hasler hasn't published pricing information, so we don't know how many organs you'll need to sell before you can add this Disco to your collection. It won't be a bargain, however. Seven units were built with Alfa's blessing, so it's rare enough to make even the standard 8C, which was limited to 1,000 units globally (split evenly between coupes and convertibles), look common. If you miss out on your chance to buy it, you can try to track down the green and gold Disco Volante coupe displayed at the 2014 edition of the Geneva auto show.
Alternatively, Touring Superleggera's next Italian-flavored project will be a tribute to the one-off Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 B Speciale Tipo Le Mans built to compete in the 1938 24 Hours of Le Mans. Called Berlinetta Aero, it was scheduled to make its debut in July 2020 as part of Alfa's 110th birthday celebrations, but the on-going global pandemic delayed its introduction. It's still in the works, and it's expected to break cover before the end of 2021.
