![]() ![]() In some of the novels virtue triumphs in others the evil is so monumental that everything good in its path is destroyed, and then it destroys itself. Opposed to these is a virtuous maiden who is at once repelled and attracted by the evil around her. In Gothic fiction forces of evil predominate, usually in the person of a great villain. Afterward, though such fiction continued to appear for decades, the Gothic type diverged into different styles, including the detective, or mystery, story and the horror story. The great age of the Gothic novel began in 1765 with the publication of Horace Walpole’s successful Castle of Otranto, and it lasted until about 1820. It commonly featured castles and monasteries equipped with subterranean passages, hidden panels, chambers of torture, and dark towers. This type of fiction was called Gothic because much of its inspiration was drawn from medieval buildings and ruins, many of which are Gothic in architectural style. This movement represented a reaction against the “age of reason,” or the Enlightenment, that had dominated the thought of the time ( see Enlightenment). Also called Gothic romance and Gothic novel, Gothic fiction emerged late in the 18th century as part of the Romantic movement in the arts. Yet, they have different meanings of their own.In Gothic fiction the reader passes from the reasoned order of the everyday world into a dark region governed by supernatural beings, a region that inspires dread and horror, where decay abounds and death is always at hand. ![]() However, some words come very close to it in meanings such as sounds, imitation of sounds, onomatope, alliteration, echo, echoism, and mimesis. The use of onomatopoeic words helps create emphasis. Moreover, a simple plain expression does not have the same emphatic effect that conveys an idea powerfully to the readers. The beauty of onomatopoeic words lies in the fact that they are bound to have an effect on the readers’ senses, whether that effect is understood or not. Hence, the reader cannot help but enter the world created by the poet with the aid of these words. Onomatopoeia, on the other hand, helps readers to hear the sounds of the words they reflect. Generally, words are used to tell what is happening. The rhythm and length of the above lines, along with the use of “hissing” sounds, create a picture of a snake in the minds of the readers. “He reached down from a fissure in the earth-wall in the gloomĪnd trailed his yellow-brown slackness soft-bellied down, over theĪnd rested his throat upon the stone bottom,Īnd where the water had dripped from the tap, in a small clearness Lawrence, in his poem Snake, illustrates the use of this form: Phanopoeia is a form of onomatopoeia that describes the sense of things, rather than their natural sounds. Onomatopoeia, in its more complicated use, takes the form of phanopoeia.

![]() The idea of a "replacement" of indigenous white people under the guidance of a hostile elite can be further traced back to pre-WWII antisemitic conspiracy theories which posited the existence of a Jewish plot to destroy Europe through miscegenation, especially in Édouard Drumont's antisemitic bestseller La France juive (1886). ![]() Present-day racial and ethnic distinctions are only loosely correlated with genetic ancestry, with which they are being replaced in medical science. Prior classifications of ethnicity and culture were narrower and more mutable through antiquity, drawing distinctions closer to those of tribal and familial groups, and were based on environmental factors such as geography and climate as well as appearance, physiology, and learned behaviors such as language and diet. Previously, François Bernier had in 1684 published a four-page essay postscript which posited five races, combining Europeans ("except for part of Muscovy") with inhabitants of the Northern coastal regions of Africa, and Arabia, Persia, Mongolia, India, and parts of China, Sumatra, Bantam, and Borneo, and described skin color as "merely accidental". The idea of a distinct white human race began with German physician and anthropologist Johann Blumenbach, who in 1775 claimed that there were five such races, Caucasian, Mongolian, Malayan, Ethiopian (or Negroid), and American Indian. 3.3.4 Reaction to US-South Africa policy.3.3.3 Trump administration foreign policy on South Africa.3.3.2 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.3.3.1 2016 US presidential election campaigns.1.2 Neo-Nazis' accusations against Jews.1.1.3 Madison Grant in the United States.The topic of farm seizures in South Africa and Zimbabwe has been a rallying cry of white nationalists and alt-right groups who use it to justify their vision of white supremacy. The often critical narrative derived from the South African farm attacks, and land reform in South Africa, is an established subset theme of the broader conspiracy theory, portrayed in media as a form of gateway or proxy issue to "white genocide" within the wider context of the Western world. In August 2018, US President Donald Trump was accused of endorsing the conspiracy theory in a foreign policy tweet instructing Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to investigate South African "land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers", claiming that the " South African government is now seizing land from white farmers". Since the 2019 Christchurch and El Paso shootings, of which the shooters' manifestos decried a "white replacement" and have referenced the concept of " Great Replacement", Camus's conspirary theory (often called "replacement theory" or "population replacement"), along with Bat Ye'or's 2002 Eurabia concept and Gerd Honsik's resurgent 1970s myth of a Kalergi plan, have all been used synonymously with "white genocide" and are increasingly referred to as variations of the conspiracy theory. Similar conspiracy theories were prevalent in Nazi Germany and have been used in the present-day interchangeably with, and as a broader and more extreme version of, Renaud Camus's 2011 The Great Replacement, focusing on the white population of France. The theory was popularized by white separatist neo-Nazi David Lane around 1995, and has been leveraged as propaganda in Europe, North America, South Africa, and Australia. The purpose of the conspiracy theory is to justify a commitment to a white nationalist agenda in support of calls to violence. ![]() White people are not dying out or facing extermination. White genocide is a political myth, based on pseudoscience, pseudohistory, and ethnic hatred, driven by a psychological panic often termed " white extinction anxiety". Less frequently, black people, Hispanics, and Muslims are blamed for the secret plot, but merely as more fertile immigrants, invaders, or violent aggressors, rather than the masterminds. The white genocide, white extinction, or white replacement conspiracy theory, is a white supremacist conspiracy theory which states that there is a deliberate plot, often blamed on Jews, to promote miscegenation, interracial marriage, mass non-white immigration, racial integration, low fertility rates, abortion, governmental land-confiscation from whites, organised violence, and eliminationism in white-founded countries in order to cause the extinction of whites through forced assimilation, mass immigration, and violent genocide. Anti-immigrant protesters in Calais hold a sign in French reading "Diversity is a code word for white genocide", above a banner calling for remigration. ![]() Zenith El Primero 4061 | Automatic | Diameter: 30 mm / 13¼ lignes | Thickness: 6.6 mm | Frequency: 36,000 vph (5 Hz) | Jewels: 31 | Components: 282 | Oscillating weight with Côtes de Genève motif | Hours, minutes, small seconds, chronograph | Power-reserve: 50 hoursĤ2 mm | Stainless steel or rose gold | Thickness: 14.

Interventions that either address challenges or maximise facilitators will have increased chances of success compared to interventions that are less developed. To encourage consumption, details of the challenges are required. However, to date, little research has investigated egg consumption in older adults, or identified the specific challenges to consuming eggs for this population. Future work evaluating the value of these strategies for improving protein intake in this age group would be of value. Strategies that highlight value-for-money may be counterproductive. Our results suggest that strategies to increase egg consumption in older adults should focus on: improving liking, tastiness and adding variety promoting eggs as an everyday type of food reducing stereotypes about who does and who does not consume eggs and promoting eggs for people who have noticed the effects of ageing on their food intake. Discussion: Many possibilities for future intervention based on existing challenges or facilitators were found. Regression analyses revealed habitual egg intake to be associated with 10 challenges and facilitators (smallest β = 0.14, p = 0.04), and with protein consumption, age and Body Mass Index (smallest β = 0.14, p = 0.03). Reasons for eating/not eating eggs were reduced using Principal Components Analysis to 23 challenges and facilitators of egg consumption. Habitual egg intake ranged from 1–89 eggs/month, mean (standard deviation) = 18 (13) eggs/month. Results: 230 questionnaires suitable for analysis were returned (110 females, ages 55–80+ years). Methods: A cross-sectional postal questionnaire, measuring habitual egg intake, reasons for eating/not eating eggs and a range of demographic and lifestyle characteristics, was administered by post to 1082 older adults. This work aimed to investigate the relative importance of a number of challenges to and facilitators of egg consumption in a UK population-wide sample of older adults. Interventions that focus on the challenges or facilitators that affect a large proportion of the population will be of increased impact on a population-wide scale. Eggs, as a protein-rich food with characteristics that appeal to older adults, may provide opportunities for increasing protein intake. Background: Dietary protein intake is important for health.

This update offers a full set of monthly passes for Reduced Fare Riders at approximately 50% of the full fare pass prices. In order to increase equity by closing gaps in the T’s offering of products for Reduced Fare Riders, monthly passes on Commuter Rail, Ferry, and Express Bus for Reduced Fare Riders will be made available. Introducing Monthly Passes for Reduced Fare Riders on Commuter Rail, Ferry, and Express Bus:.This product is designed to meet the needs of individuals who might not have enough cash on-hand to afford a monthly pass, but who qualify for Reduced Fare programs. Introducing the 7-Day LinkPass for Reduced Fare Riders:Īiming to increase equity by increasing the benefits of purchasing fares in bulk for Reduced Fare Riders, a 7-Day LinkPass for Reduced Fare riders will be available for $10, which breaks even after nine subway rides.Three fare changes that aim to improve equity by closing gaps in existing fare structures for Reduced Fare Riders will go into effect on July 1, 2022: Some riders are eligible for reduced fares, including people with disabilities and Medicare cardholders, people 65 and older, some middle and high school students, and people 18 – 25 with low income. This second transfer on Subway and Buses and transfers between Express Routes goes into effect on July 1, 2022. To simplify complexities in the T’s transfer policy, the transfer process will be standardized to allow all combinations of second transfers involving Buses, Express Bus Routes, and/or Subway, including Bus-Bus-Subway, Subway-Bus-Bus, and Express Bus-Express Bus. An $11 LinkPass pays for itself with five subway rides taken in 24 hours.Įxpanding Second Transfers on Buses, Express Bus Routes, and/or Subway:Ĭurrently, the MBTA only allows one transfer between Bus and/or Subway with one recent addition – CharlieCard riders may transfer from Bus to Subway to Bus. An attractive option for riders whose travel patterns have changed due to hybrid work schedules and the availability of remote-work options, the 5-Day FlexPass on mTicket is now permanent effective immediately.Įffective July 1, 2022, and in an effort to increase ridership by encouraging more riders to buy passes and increase equity for low-income and minority riders who often purchase this fare product, the cost of the 1-Day LinkPass will be lowered from $12.75 to $11. Good for unlimited travel within a 24-hour period, these five passes are available for 10% off the cost of 10 one-way trips. ![]() Permanent 5-Day FlexPass on mTicket for Commuter Rail:įirst introduced as a pandemic fare pilot in June 2020, the 5-Day FlexPass available on mTicket for the Commuter Rail is a bundled fare valid for any five days of travel within a 30-day period. “These fare updates allow us to continue to meet the needs of riders while minimizing revenue implications in this time of continued uncertainty.” “We’re grateful to the Board for approving these fare changes, which prepare us for technology updates to come through Fare Transformation, increase equity through improvements to LinkPasses, especially for our Reduced Fare Riders, and make the 5-Day FlexPass permanent for Commuter Rail riders,” said MBTA General Manager Steve Poftak. These fare changes go into effect on July 1, 2022, with the exception of the 5-Day Flex Pass being made permanent, which goes into effect immediately. The MBTA Board approved several fare changes that aim to improve equity by closing gaps in existing fare structures for Reduced Fare Riders, minimize pandemic-related revenue implications and budget uncertainties while increasing ridership where possible, and simplify fare tariff rules as the MBTA’s Fare Transformation moves forward. ![]() She serves as a physical symbol of hope in Cinderella's life and speaks with a gentle tone. The Fairy Godmother is a motherly, kind, and genuine character with an optimistically pure heart. Dedicated to community work and charities, Mary Alice's personality served to fit the character as well. The Fairy Godmother's design was what Ken tried to imagine how she'd look a few decades older. Eventually, layout artist Ken O'Connor looked to his wife, Mary Alice O'Connor, for inspiration. The Fairy Godmother's design underwent numerous changes in development, with the original source becoming difficult to narrow down. I don't see her as being goofy or stupid, but rather as having a wonderful sense of humor.” ― Walt Disney ![]() “ The Fairy Godmother should have a kindly voice with a certain age in it. How much magic the Fairy Godmother holds without her wand is questionable, as the only powers she demonstrated without using her wand was her ability to appear from thin air surrounded by sparkles and, as mentioned above, summoning said wand.Īpparently, she has a connection with her wand as she was able to find it in Anastasia's hands after losing it in the picnic she made for Cinderella and the Prince, despite the long distance. The wand's magic is not exclusive to the Fairy Godmother, however, as mortals can also wield its power and use it as they so please, be it for good or evil. Said wand holds incredible power, such as metamorphosis and the ability to warp reality, among others. The Fairy Godmother is equipped with a magic wand that she can summon from nothingness. When her arrival nears, twinkling lights will surround the area in which the Fairy Godmother is to appear said lights will then gather and form themselves into the godmother. She did not appear until Cinderella was at her weakest point - in the case of the film, the moment Cinderella nearly loses hope of escaping her abusers and living a better life – and introduced herself as a physical beacon of hope. 4.2 Rise of the Isle of the Lost: A Descendants NovelĪs she herself explains, the Fairy Godmother is the embodiment of Cinderella's hope.4.1 Mistress of All Evil: A Tale of the Dark Fairy. In a blog post earlier this year, I shared some of the reasons I love the resources from Sphero. So if you are using Sphero BOLTs in classrooms across a school or district, it’s already set up for educators on the move. It comes in a carrying case on rollers with a retractable handle. If your school invests in the BOLT Power Pack, you’ll also have access to extras like Turbo Covers, Maze Tape, and Protractors. Teachers can build their knowledge alongside students too. This option makes it an excellent choice for teachers with little to no experience with coding in the classroom. With Sphero BOLT, students can start out with Draw and Drive programming and gradually move through a series of more complex coding experiences. The folks at Sphero describe it as “the top of the line kit for educators using the Sphero Edu program in a classroom, robotics club, or in any maker environment you can dream up.” And I totally agree! This kit can be a game-changer for STEM-friendly classrooms. The Sphero BOLT Power Pack takes the 15 Pack to another level. It takes you through everything you’ll need to know to get started with Sphero in the classroom. Sphero Fundamentals in a professional learning course you can move through at your own pace. When you purchase this during the back-to-school season, you’ll also get 50% off the Sphero Fundamentals course. It includes 15 BOLT robots at a discount from the individual purchase price. ![]() The Sphero BOLT 15 Pack is available exclusively for educators.
![]() You can also use coins to purchase artifacts that will make a big difference. Adding a card that can increase your block by five points at the cost of zero energy or a card that will give you block equal to the size of your draw pile will certainly help you stay alive for longer. ![]() Use the gold you earn during your quest so that you can buy new cards that can help you survive. Some events will allow you to add more cards to your deck… for a price. The cards can increase your characters’ strength or allow you to draw extra cards for your hand. Cards will be used to attack opponents to deal damage, to add block points to, well, block some of the damage that your characters would otherwise receive. You’ll need to use energy points to pay for said costs, with a few cards having no cost for you to bring them into action. Each card will have a cost associated with it. When in battle, you’ll be controlling both characters at the same time, using a hand with cards that combine their two decks into one. You will also find battles you’ll have to complete to carry on. These will allow you to collect items, such as a potion to block some potential damage or a sword to boost a character’s attack power. To reveal more of the land, you’ll need to use a paintbrush and ink so that you can color your way towards new spots you can interact with. You’ll move your characters on this overworld with the left analog stick or the D-Pad, interacting with events or other characters by pressing the X button. It uses a similar setup to that of Faeria by presenting you with randomly generated areas to explore, which are composed of hexes. |
