Still, she did hope, by dint of some brisk campaigning in the diocese of Beorminster, to capture a whole man unto herself. In all matters other than that of man-catching she was shallow past belief. She was plain, this lady, as she was poor nor could she rightly be said to be in the first flush of maidenhood. Doubtful, therefore, of securing a husband at the rate of one chance in seven, or dissatisfied at the prospect of a seventh share in a man, she resolved upon trying her matrimonial fortunes in the country. Miss Daisy Norsham, a veteran Belgravian spinster, decided, after some disappointing seasons, that this text was particularly applicable to London. Of late years an anonymous mathematician has declared that in the British Isles the female population is seven times greater than the male therefore, in these days is fulfilled the scriptural prophecy that seven women shall lay hold of one man and entreat to be called by his name. Baltic-a detective so unique in character and methods as to make Conan Doyle turn green with envy.Īll in all, this story is so rich in the essential elements of worthy fiction-in characterization, exciting adventure, suggestions of the marvelous, wit, humor, pathos, and just enough of tragedy-that it is offered to the American public in all confidence that it will be generally and heartily welcomed.

Pansey is the embodiment of all shrewishness, and yields unlimited amusement. Cargrim, the Bishop’s poor and most unworthy protegè, is a meaner Uriah Heep. Hume’s treatment of the peculiar and exclusive ecclesiastical society of a small English cathedral city is quite worthy of Anthony Trollope, and his leading character, Bishop Pendle, is equal to Trollope’s best bishop. These are not laboriously described by the author, but are made to reveal themselves in action and speech in a way that has, for the reader, all the charm of personal intercourse with living people. In “The Bishop’s Secret,” while there is no falling off in plot and style, there is a welcome and marvelous broadening out as to the cast of characters, representing an unusually wide range of typical men and women. Hume won a reputation second to none for plot of the stirring, ingenious, misleading, and finally surprising kind, and for working out his plot in vigorous and picturesque English.

Since I started immersing (like manga made by natives for natives, no more of that やさしい日本語 stuff) at times I just want to review words and Kanji that I encounter instead of the shotgun method of WaniKani. Most of the big complaints about it are the obscure words that are used to reinforce the Kanji but for me, it's a little bit different. Very helpful up to level 30ish then beyond that your mileage may vary. I do think Wanikani is best when done from the beginning simply because kanji and vocabulary make everything else you need to do easier, but it’s important to understand that that’s all it’s teaching, it’s not a complete Japanese course by a long shot. More so than anything like Wanikani kanji are one of the easier aspects of Japanese after all, they only need a lot of time. But it will not get you very far.Ĭonsequently, I also think text books are important in the beginning. The only exception is Kawaii Nihongo for people in the pre-beginner stage - I think it does a better job than other apps at giving people an initial idea of what Japanese is like and doesn’t make impossible promises. I should also note that I don’t like apps that claim to teach you all aspects of Japanese. Other good ways to pay people for admin work are bunpro for grammar (although not intended as a guide/textbook replacement, it’s just a learning tool), and Skritter for learning how to handwrite (which I think is not necessary, but pretty cool). It’s just that when I started I didn’t want to learn Anki, I wanted to start learning Japanese right away. Anki is pretty amazing with its flexibility. You’ll also want to learn other things, grammar patterns, entire sentences, one of the first decks I made was one with prefecture and city names so I could understand maps on TV and know where places are when there was no map. In fact I recommend Anki anyway because Wanikani has some pretty glaring holes particularly concerning words that aren’t written in kanji, and you’ll want to learn more vocab than it has anyway at some point. Or find a pre-made one that suits you (you get what you pay for in terms of quality though). If you’d rather save the money instead, just get Anki and make your own deck. You just show up on this web site every day and do what it says and you’re guaranteed to learn 6000-odd words and their pronunciation and their kanji. At the start of your journey you don’t have to figure out how to even start with little understanding of what you need to do. You have to do the learning yourself but you can save some time that would not be used for learning. Paying someone for this kind of work is pretty much the only shortcut you can get. Wanikani is one of many ways to pay people to do some of the administrative work for you. You can learn Japanese entirely for free there are enough resources online. Aka its like learning 2000 words in 4 months (which i did for chinese lol) - not long enough to ‘memorize’ them perfectly, but enough exposure that I could recognize enough words to now find shows and some books comprehensible.I haven’t burned everything, and they keep adding entries, but it’s pretty close to complete. But you won’t have a guess at how to pronounce new words necessarily - you will need to learn that word by word until you pick up some of the common kanji readings from doing that. I imagine the idea with this plan is to broaden general understanding - you can quickly cover enough kanji to get an overall idea of the meaning of them when you start learning vocabulary/have meaning to connect new words to. So I imagine the idea is you save some time not memorizing the readings, and plan to learn the readings with vocabulary (so maybe vocabulary takes a bit longer?). However, learning just meanings means general projections tend to suggest it takes 2 months to learn 2,000 kanji meanings (if you’re super diligent), to 6 months. Refold specifically thinks a learner should learn 500-1000 kanji meanings before diving into grammar/vocab more. This is an interesting take to me, because the other prevailing opinion is one mia/Refold has (and most Hesig’s Remember the Kanji book users share) - that a person should learn the meanings of kanji first, and then learn readings with vocabulary. For example, if you had a friend with the cell phone number 55 and AT&T as their carrier, you could text them by sending an e-mail to. International text messages cost $0.25 per message sent and $0.20 per message received. Thats a tremendous amount of messages sent via mobile devices This includes iOS, Android, and also popular messaging apps like WhatsApp Messenger, Viber, Line. The following is a listing of all the major cell phone carriers e-mail addresses, which can be utilized to send SMS messages over e-mail. Verizon : If you don't have the unlimited plan, it's $0.20 per message sent and received in the Nationwide Rate and Coverage Area. Type your message into the message pad and click 'Send SMS.' SMS Everywhere Step 1 Go to the SMS Everywhere website (see Resources).For pay-per-use texting, you're charged $0.20 per SMS message and $0.30 per MMS message. AT&T : Without unlimited texting, you're charged $0.10 for each message - whether it's SMS or MMS - over your monthly limit.Outside of those areas, the charge is $0.50 per text. T-Mobile : All plans include unlimited texting within covered areas.Frankly, im sick of SMS and the inability to edit previously sent messages in the event of a typo. TextBelt Open Source is a REST API that sends outgoing SMS. Here are a few SMS rates for the larger companies: SMS is a legacy tech requiring support from the cell carriers, and is likely on its way to extinction due to the security risks / interceptability of those signals. This requires responding to a text alert sent to your mobile phone confirming your enrollment. Even so, there's still typically a charge for SMS messages if you go outside of your coverage area or country. Enroll in the CVS/pharmacy Text Messaging Program online. Although it used to be common for US carriers to charge by the number for SMS messages both sent and received, it's now more common to have an unlimited plan where all texts are included in your rate. Whether you can send SMS messages for free depends on your cell carrier and phone plan. Instantly transform your old phone, PC, or any other device into a powerful gaming machine.

Aside from investing, the latter is also acting as a strategic advisor to the former, providing advisory services “covering token economics, strategic development, and partnerships.” Metalinq secured $200k in pre-seed funding from Coinsilium last year in exchange for future MLINQ tokens. The fact that the Tech team at Metalinq are the authors of the ERC-5606 Standard also bodes extremely well for Metalinq and its potential to become the ‘go to’ tech partner for leading metaverse and Web3 game developers.” We therefore see NFT interoperability between different games and platforms as a key catalyst of the Web3 infrastructure development and the ERC-5606 standard has the potential to become one of the main building blocks of that infrastructure.Ĭhoosing NFT standards is an important decision made by the developers of Web3 games and virtual worlds and Metalinq will be in an ideal position to build and recommend the implementation of Web3 tools making the most of all the ERC-5606 features. The current inability to port assets between different games and platforms limits the overall development of Web3 games and virtual worlds. The success of Web3 games and virtual worlds relies on, among other factors, the ability of the users owning and trading NFTs as in-game items, wearables, virtual land, and other digital assets. “This is a very significant development for Metalinq in its efforts to accelerate the mainstream adoption of blockchain-based metaverses and Web3 gaming platforms. The Chief Executive of Coinsilium, Eddy Travia, said the following in the press release: The new standard is backwards compatible with ERC-721 and ERC-1155 and was developed by the tech team of Metalinq, which is a Web3 project described as being a “Layer 3 protocol to interconnect metaverse & game platforms” and is backed by both Web3-focused investor Coinsilium and the founding team of the Indorse ecosystem, a Consilium portfolio company founded in 2017. Using current available standards, creators have no choice but to make multiple NFTs of the same digital asset across various networks if they want to be cross-chain and interoperable, which, according to the proposal, makes it “very difficult to prove the scarcity of these items on-chain.” Instead of going through the hassle of publishing the same asset across multiple platforms, this new NFT standard aims to solve the interoperability issues by allowing developers to ‘bundle’ and ‘unbundle’ delegate NFTs belonging within a multiverse NFT, making it possible for owners of these non-fungible tokens to trade them as a bundle but also as individual assets, thus simplifying development of multi-chain NFTs while introducing new functionality to the innovative technology and making it more accessible in the process through user-friendly interoperability. With this new standard focused on NFT gaming but also on metaverses and Web3 platforms in general, developers are able to create ‘multiverse’ non-fungible tokens that are not constrained to a single platform or blockchain network, bringing true interoperability to the table. This was announced on March 20th in a press release on the London Stock Exchange, revealing that the new standard has successfully passed the community approval process, opening up “the potential to benefit entire Web3 Ecosystem.” Coinsilium Group Limited has recently revealed that, after submitting EIP-5606 (Ethereum Improvement Proposal) in September last year, the ERC-5606 multiverse NFT standard made by the tech team of Metalinq has now been officially approved on the Ethereum network.

In February 1942 the Department of War appointed General John L. Under Poindexter's martial law order, approved by the president, the military courts were given the power to decide cases without following the rules of evidence of the courts of law, and were not limited by sentencing laws in determining penalties. All courts were closed by order of the military governor, and the military was authorized to arrest, try, and convict persons. The commanding general of the Hawaiian military assumed the position of military governor. The governor also suspended the writ of habeas corpus. Poindexter, of Hawaii, declared martial law on the Hawaiian Islands. On December 7, 1941, the day that Japanese warplanes bombed Pearl Harbor in what was then the territory of Hawaii, Governor Joseph B. The next large-scale martial law declaration took place 80 years later. Supreme Court to review the propriety of martial law declarations. Milligan firmly established the right of the U.S. The Supreme Court held that neither the president nor Congress could give federal military forces the power to try a civilian who lived in a state that had federal courts. Milligan was tried, found guilty, and sentenced to prison by a military court.Īlthough the habeas corpus petition had been suspended, the Supreme Court accepted Milligan's petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Milligan was charged with five offenses: conspiring against the United States, affording Aid and Comfort to rebels, inciting insurrection, engaging in disloyal practices, and violating the laws of war. Lamdin Milligan, a civilian resident of Indiana, was arrested on October 5, 1864, by the Union military forces. The martial law declared by Lincoln during the Civil War spawned another legal challenge, this one to the military courts: ex parte milligan, 71 U.S. After Congress approved Lincoln's suspension of the writ in 1863, Union forces were authorized to arrest and detain Confederate soldiers and sympathizers, but only until they could be tried by a court of law. 487), that only Congress had the power to suspend the writ of habeas corpus. The Supreme Court reviewed the issue and ruled in Ex parte Merryman, 17 F. This refusal created friction between Congress and the president and raised the question of whether unilateral suspension of the writ under martial law was within the president's power. However, Congress initially refused to ratify Lincoln's suspension of the writ of habeas corpus. Its martial law declaration gave the Union military forces the authority to arrest persons and conduct trials. However, at the outset of the Civil War, in July 1861, Congress ratified most of the martial law measures declared by President Abraham Lincoln. The power to do so usually is granted in the state constitution.Ĭongress has never declared martial law. On the state level, a governor may declare martial law within her or his own state. However, the Supreme Court has interpreted both to allow the declaration of martial law by the president or Congress. Under Article I, Section 8, Clause 15, of the Constitution, Congress has the power "o provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress insurrections and repel Invasions." Article II, Section 2, Clause 1, of the Constitution declares that "he President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States." Neither constitutional provision includes a direct reference to martial law. Martial law on the national level may be declared by Congress or the president. Uprisings, political protests, labor strikes, and riots have, at various times, caused several state governors to declare some measure of martial law. Otherwise, it has been limited to the states. In the United States, martial law has been instituted on the national level only once, during the Civil War, and on a regional level only once, during World War II. And the writ of Habeas Corpus may be suspended (this writ allows persons who are unlawfully imprisoned to gain freedom through a court proceeding). Certain civil liberties may be suspended, such as the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, freedom of association, and freedom of movement. To a varying extent, depending on the martial law order, government military personnel have the authority to make and enforce civil and criminal laws. Generally, the institution of martial law contemplates some use of military force. However, most declarations of martial law have some common features. According to the Supreme Court, the term martial law carries no precise meaning ( Duncan v. Martial law is an extreme and rare measure used to control society during war or periods of civil unrest or chaos. The exercise of government and control by military authorities over the civilian population of a designated territory. Milton's powerful characterization of a brilliant, still-proud, and almost tragic Satan in Paradise Lost profoundly influenced the evolution of the Gothic villain-hero.Įxamples: There generally exist two different ways that the old Adversary can appear in Gothic works, ways that tell us much about the moral universe of the literary work. In many areas of Jewish thought, Satan is linked with the idea of evil impulses, i.e. The base of this belief possibly stems from Persian philosophy. Later, in Jewish tradition, the term satan becomes the proper Satan who is seen as an adversary of human beings as well as God. Also within this translation, the diabolus is characterized as God's personal spy who travels the earth to gather information concerning human existence. Within the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Bible, the diabolus is translated as the Hebrew "he-satan". The actual term ‘Devil' comes from the Latin term diabolus which is an adjective meaning slanderous. This spirit stands in constant opposition to God. The Devil, as portrayed in Judaism and Christianity, stands as a spirit of incarnate evil who rules over a dark kingdom. Henry James’ “The Friend of the Friends” is presented as excerpts from a young woman’s diary retrieved by an un-named narrator, when, of course, the tale is by Henry James. Jerald Hogle has written extensively about the "counterfeit" as a trope of Gothic textual instability.Įxamples: William Beckford's infamous Vathek first appeared as a counterfeit editor's recovery of an anonymous translation of an Arabian tale. Such "counterfeit" framing narratives frequently complicate the point of view and "authenticity" of Gothic stories. From the Castle of Otranto (1764) onwards, many Gothic texts present themselves as an editor's recovery and presentation of some ancient text, cloaking the true author's writing of the story. This small space without much light and no view creates a feeling of claustrophobia, but, oddly, this sense seems to afflict the narrator and reader more than it does the inscrutable scrivener.Ī playful fakery of authenticity. It has no view other than that of a brick wall. Another intriguing example can be found in Melville's "Bartelby, the Scrivener." Bartelby occupies a very small and dark cubicle. Catacombs are especially evocative Gothic spaces because they enable the living to enter below ground a dark labyrinth resonating with the presences and mysteries of the dead.Įxample: Sophia Lee's The Recess chronicles the story of two ill-fated sisters literally born into an underground recess in this novel the idea of claustrophobia extends beyond just the obvious physical entrapment to serve as a metaphor of woman's recessive existence in a world of cruel court and male intrigue. Cemeteries are widely used in Gothic Literature as oftentimes frightening places where revenance can occur. Christian belief formed the idea of the cemetery as a churchyard or crypt, but we must remember that a cemetery is any place which is used to house the dead. Paleolithic caves, temples, sanctuaries, grave mounds and necropolii are just a few different types differentiated cemeteries. All cultures seem to have participated in the idea of a cemetery in a form at some time. This term koimeterion (" place of rest") was primarily applied by early Christians to the Roman catacombs-a subterranean labyrinth of galleries with recesses for tombs originally used by the city's Jewish population-and became widely used within the 15th century. Also see revenant.Ī cemetery defines a place which is used for the burial of the dead. Although the corpse of the boy does in fact re-animate, it is controlled by an evil demon bent upon the murder of surrounding mortals. The father proceeds to re-bury the boy, Gavin, in a place known as Pet Semetary in hopes that the child will come back to life. In the novel, the father of a newly dead boy digs up the body hours after burial. The most famous example of a Gothic story which involves the theft of a corpse in order to bring it back to some form of life is Frankenstein: Victor frequents "the dissecting room and the slaughter-house" for his "workshop of filthy creation"-apparently his monster comes from some kind of assemblage.Ī more recent example of body-snatching comes from Stephen King's Pet Semetary (actually spelled this way). Stevenson's "The Body-Snatcher" employs the grisly profession of corpse stealing to weave a tale in which two grave robbers are horrified to find in their latest disinterred coffin the body of a man they had previously killed and served up to the medical profession. This may be followed by numbness or weakness in the injured arm.Ĭarpal Tunnel Syndrome: If you feel numbness or tingling in your hand and arm, you may have the pinched nerve in your wrist that doctors call carpal tunnel syndrome. When these nerves are compressed or stretched to the breaking point, you may feel a burning sensation in your arm-or a sharp pain, like a lightning bolt, at the moment of impact. The injury gets its name from its frequency among boxers and martial arts fighters.īrachial Plexus Injury (Erb's Palsey): The nerves that send signals from your spine to your shoulder, arm, and hand are known as the brachial plexus. This is usually the result of a blow to the hand or an accident.īoxer's Knuckle: A direct blow to the knuckle-usually at the base of the middle finger-can cause a tear in the tendon that straightens the finger. Pain, swelling, and trouble extending the finger are all symptoms of this injury to the tendon.īoutonniere Deformity: An injury to the tendons that straighten the middle joint of your finger can make you finger bend-and make it impossible to straighten. This disease can be particularly troublesome when it affects your hand, fingers, or wrist, as it can limit your ability to do the things you do on a daily basis.īaseball (Mallet) Finger: This injury to the outermost joint of the finger is very common among baseball and basketball players. Arthritis:Chronic pain, swelling, and stiffness in your joints often means that you have arthritis. |
