ENNUI.
MarkWolf comments on Oct 29, 2021:
Here it is - Ennui by Walter Sickert. One can feel the listlessness and boredom. The flash of light over Queen Victoria’s shoulder is supposed to be a clue inserted by Sickert as to whom Jack the Ripper was (it looks a bit like a white bird - the queen’s personal physician was called William ...

William Withey Gull was seventy-two when the ripper murders happened and was partially paralysed from the first two strokes, of a series of which would kill him 18 months later.
Further he was not the personal physician of the royal household, that was Sir James Reid, who had been appointed in 1880, Gull had gained his knighthood in 1871 for saving the life of the Prince of Wales by administering a technique he had invented that would in time come to be known as cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (falsely attributed to Dr Peter Safar in the 1950s) as related by Mark Twain in his obituary of Doctor Gull who was frankly a genius
"When the Prince seemed dead Mr. Gull dealt blow after blow between the shoulders, breathed into his nostrils, and literally cheated Death" Mark Twain.
Walter Sickert on the other hand was a very weird man and was almost certainly the author of the fake ripper letters, sent to Scotland Yard at the height of the panic, as is evidence by comparing his handwriting with that of the fake ripper.
He is also actually the inspiration for the eponymous character in "The Lodger" by Marie Adelaide Belloc Lowndes, the first known fictionalisation of the ripper case.
The Author was present at a party attended by Sickert, where she heard him boasting of how he had taken rooms in Limehouse for inspiration, and had succeeded in convincing his landlady that he was indeed the Ripper, hence the title of the paining he made there "Jack the Ripper's Bedroom"
Marie Lowndes put the story down in print, it was converted in to a play and later in to one of Alfred Hitchcock's first films.

Defenestration-the action of dismissing someone from a position of power or authority.

One of my favorite words! When our family was in Prague not long ago, we took a tour and were told by the guide about the origin of this term, not in Italy, as we might have assumed. Pity we don’t have the same opportunities with some of our leaders these days! 😉 Thank you for sharing this one.
LenHazell53 replies on Oct 25, 2021:
True, the word was coined in English reports of the murder of two imperial governors and their secretary being thrown from a castle keep window of Prague castle, thus sparking the 30 years war in 1618.
Known as the Defenestrations of Prague, this is the first know usage of the word in English.
The first known incident of Defenestrations is biblical, and involved Queen Jezebel wife of King Ahab being murdered by her own Eunuch servants, who finally having had enough of her abuse and general nastiness, stripped her naked and threw her out of a palace window to die in shame in the street below.

Much of what people today call sarcasm is not, it is simple cruel imitations and assumed intellectual superiority or arrogance.
Actual Sarcasm is not used in anger or exasperation, but in gentle mockery or as a form of satire.
In the example I site above, the brutal mockery of father Jessup is shown up as foolish by the actual sarcasm of Mrs Doyle in pretending to agree with him on his own terms and denying him the tea that he actually desires.

Is that really individuality, or simply a variation on conformity to a sociological pattern of self abnegation from the responsibility for making your own decisions?

@altschmerz Yup in Khrushchev private paper made public after the fall of the USSR it was revealed he Khrushchev, three times, reached out to JFK to de-escalate the Cuba situation, JFK's response was to order the depth charging of a soviet nuclear sub and radio jam them. Thanks to an "accident" only dummy depth charges were used, however the Russians did not know this.
The captain of the Sub was unwilling to make the decision to retaliate with a nuclear strike on the USA alone (which was standard protocol when out of radio contact with Moscow) and so held a vote with his first and second officers on whether or not to do so, by a 2 to 1 majority it was decided not to fire on the USA as it would probably in initiate war.
After this incident was reported to Bobby Kennedy, United States Attorney General, he went over his brother's head and spoke to Khrushchev personally. It was agreed that publicly the USSR would agree to withdraw from Cuba if the USA agree not to invade it. Privately and secretly, it was agreed that the USA would withdraw their nuclear arms from Turkey and Italy and not go ahead with the planned nuclear base in Denmark. The Pentagon agreed to co-operate with Bobby K and hide what they had done from the increasingly insane JFK, whose's drug addled mind (Thanks to Max Jacobson who was supposed to be treating him for back pain and phlebitis) was in fact rendering him incapable of rational thought, and was instead giving him an invincibility complex.
Bobby also banned Jacobson from the Whitehouse after this and appointed new doctors, who were frankly horrified by the treatments being given and refused to continue it, much to JFK's anger. However, there was a marked improvement in John's mental state after the missile crisis, up until his assassination later in 1963

@altschmerz Yup in Khrushchev private paper made public after the fall of the USSR it was revealed he Khrushchev, three times, reached out to JFK to de-escalate the Cuba situation, JFK's response was to order the depth charging of a soviet nuclear sub and radio jam them. Thanks to an "accident" only dummy depth charges were used, however the Russians did not know this.
The captain of the Sub was unwilling to make the decision to retaliate with a nuclear strike on the USA alone (which was standard protocol when out of radio contact with Moscow) and so held a vote with his first and second officers on whether or not to do so, by a 2 to 1 majority it was decided not to fire on the USA as it would probably in initiate war.
After this incident was reported to Bobby Kennedy, United States Attorney General, he went over his brother's head and spoke to Khrushchev personally. It was agreed that publicly the USSR would agree to withdraw from Cuba if the USA agree not to invade it. Privately and secretly, it was agreed that the USA would withdraw their nuclear arms from Turkey and Italy and not go ahead with the planned nuclear base in Denmark. The Pentagon agreed to co-operate with Bobby K and hide what they had done from the increasingly insane JFK, whose's drug addled mind (Thanks to Max Jacobson who was supposed to be treating him for back pain and phlebitis) was in fact rendering him incapable of rational thought, and was instead giving him an invincibility complex.
Bobby also banned Jacobson from the Whitehouse after this and appointed new doctors, who were frankly horrified by the treatments being given and refused to continue it, much to JFK's anger. However, there was a marked improvement in John's mental state after the missile crisis, up until his assassination later in 1963

@Marionville Some years after leaving the Mormon church, I bumped in to a family who had been very prominent in my ward. They smugly asked me how things were with me and my family and when I told them I had a new and better job, that both kids were doing well in school and that we were all was much happier, their faces fell. The father then sneered and asked what it was like being able to drink alcohol and coffee, to which I replied I had always been tea total before and after the church and was allergic to coffee and so would not know. He dragged his family away with a look of abject confusion and horror all over his face that I was not drunken, destitute, deranged and depraved without the words and threats of Ol' Jo Smith to guide me.
Edit I am no longer Tea Total, I enjoy an occasional brandy these days when the mood takes me, or my aches and pains get a bit much. I am obviously a hopeless sinner, after all.

@Marionville Yes it was replaced after many complaints of exploitation by the YTS (Youth Training Scheme) which had a very loose definition of youth (under 40). Which did away with the insulting low pay and replaced it with workfare (Your benefits + £10 per week for six months fixed term contract) for a 40 hour week and the threat of suspension of benefits if you did not do it.
I got my first management position on YTS meaning I got paid half of what most of my employees did.

There are several stories about her in one tradition or another, but they all end with her becoming the demon responsible for still births and cot deaths.
Her sin was that she refused to be "tupped" and bear children in denial of her god given purpose.

She grew up and was educated in Kentucky, before returning to the UK to pursue her theatrical career and marry Reggie Grenfell (a mining executive) in 1929. From which point on she held joint UK/US citizenship.

It is a matter of record that had the two towers not come down on Sept 11th 2001 they would have had to have been closed shortly thereafter anyway as they where riddled with massive ( millions of tons) amounts of asbestos used in their original construction, the use of which was about to become ...

"Christians never ever seem to have an issue with divorced people"
Not so, my late writing partner and his second wife had to go through all sorts of hoops in order to get married. Both were from devout Christian (RC) families and were outright refused the right to marry in an RC church, until
A) Both their previous marriages were "Clerically" annulled (for her this was easy as her first marriage had been to a Japanese man and carried out in a "Heathen" Shinto ceremony. For him, it was very painful and meant his having to have his first wife agree to signing a public declaration of her infertility. A horrible experience all round.)
B) Them both having to perform penance
and
C) Long and extremely personal interviews with the "Father" to determine their worthiness

I'm guessing he fancied himself a Bondian type villain?

NO, he actually must have thought himself to be James Bond.
People like this always see themselves as the misunderstood hero, never the villain of their own story.

A medication that is a cathartic will actually make you barf, the most common is syrup of ipecac. I never had to use it on my kids, thank goodness. I have had catharsis via a good cry.
LenHazell53 replies on Sep 8, 2021:
An emetic (such as ipecac) is a medication that will make you barf, a cathartic (such as cascara) causes an equally efficacious purging from the entirely opposite end of the human body.
Confusing the two might result in something of a shock.

Miami Public School Staff: 15 COVID Deaths in 10 Days

p-nullifidian comments on Sep 7, 2021:
Obtaining the vaccine is voluntary. So, no matter the idiocy to be found in Tallahassee, the decision to remain unvaccinated and risk contracting the more lethal Delta variant is a personal choice. Sadly, to remain unvaccinated and contracting COVID-19 today, amounts to suicide by science.
LenHazell53 replies on Sep 8, 2021:
If choose to self emolliate, that is my personal choice. However, if I choose to self emolliate and then walk in to my crowded work place or a school, that is way outside the realms of personal choice, that is at best assault at worst murder.
IF a person choses to not be vaccinated during a plague, and stay home and die, I have no problem with that. But if they chose to not be vaccinated during a plague and go out infecting all and sundry, they are not exercising freedom of choice, they are indulging in criminal behaviour.
