30 September 2024

Israel has told the US it plans to launch a limited ground incursion into Lebanon as soon as Monday, a US official has said. Hezbollah's deputy leader said it's ready for an Israeli ground offensive, as Israel continues air strikes across Lebanon. It's the first speech by a high-ranking official since Israel killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and Naim Qassem said the battle "may be long". In Lebanon, officials said more than 1,000 have been killed in the past two weeks, while up to a million people may now be displaced.

#Formula1 #F1 #News #sauber - Who will drive the second Sauber in 2025? The Inside Line

30 September 2024

Sauber is - for the second time - preparing for a glorious future, with the Swiss squad in transition to become Audi from 2026, two decades after it did the same with German rival BMW. But, it’s suffering at present, and not for the first time either - with Sauber on zero points at the same junctures in 2016 and 2014 at the dawn of the sport’s turbo-hybrid era, when it was Mercedes - and not Ferrari - delivering the class-leading power unit grunt. Watch the video, and tell us what you think in the comments…

#tessofthed #justinewaddell - "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" (1998) Directed by, Roman Polanski Starring: Justine Waddell; Jason Flemyng; Oliver Milburn

Directed by,  Roman Polanski 

Starring: Justine Waddell; Jason Fleming; Oliver Milburn

A free-spirited yet naive country girl is caught between her wealthy, manipulative "cousin" Alec and the handsome, educated farmer Angel Clare in this Victorian tragedy from novelist Thomas Hardy.

If you don't ask you don't get

However, Tess's innate tragic flaw in character also brings about her tragedy. She is  too innocent  . Her guilty feeling of her sin and her complete obedience to Angel Clare as her husband also display her weakness in character.

One of the original reasons for censorship was that  Hardy was breaking the sexual norms of his society, and challenging the sexual double standard that existed  . He proclaimed to all that the rape of Tess, his epitome of nature, made her no less a good woman than those in "decent" society.Sep 29, 2011

Hardy's subtitle, A Pure Woman Faithfully Presented, gets to the heart of her intentions. First, even though Tess would be considered a fallen, impure woman by most of her society, Hardy wants  to redefine purity  . Innocent Tess is raped and impregnated at 15 and gives birth to an illegitimate child who dies.Sep 1, 2011

One main idea in Tess of the d'Urbervilles that was considered controversial when the book came out is  empathy for women facing unfeeling moral hypocrisy in Victorian England  . The novel presents Tess as a victim of the time in which she lives; both men and society treat her unkindly and unfairly.Apr 7, 2023

It would be nice to revisit my childhood home in Spring Street and take photos 
My grandmothers picture of the last supper was given to Wool Church
She did know Lawrence of Arabia who lived a Clouds Hill. My grandfather had the 
bucher´s shop in the High Street

Woolbridge Manor, on which Wellbridge House, in Tess of the d'Urbervilles , is based, can be found just outside the village of Wool in Dorset.

Two of the most famous lovers in the history of Spain were Juana la Loca and Felipe el Hermoso. Although their marriage was born as a strategy of alliances, an intense affection arose between them that translated into constant pregnancies for the Infanta, who ended up giving birth to six children.
