Zeus watched the road again, not deigning to answer. “You have to be cool with not knowing the future. “It’ll happen when it happens,” Zeus snapped. It came to me then that he wasn’t a man to have empty sex, either. Zeus didn’t say a lot, but his words had serious heft. The kill you made a little twang in my chest. And if you deviate from the story we develop for you or the rules for the money we set, we’ll hunt you down and kill you.” And we’ll send your cut of the money to you somehow. Right afterward, we’ll send you home with a plausible story that I don’t want to have to work on right now. We’ll hold up our end of the agreement by taking down another of your boss’s banks. But you were in a position to help us and you came through, and that means something. “We took a leap of faith to trust you,” he continued, “and as you can imagine, it’s not something we would have done normally, just pick up a stranger. Don’t try to get that information, understand?” ![]() “Don’t ever ask us where we’re from or how we got into this, and you can never know our names. “A few ground rules,” Zeus said suddenly. ![]() ![]() ![]() Wurmbrand reminded her that if he did, she would lose her husband. Sabina urged her husband to wipe the shame from the face of Jesus by refusing. In 1945 the Communists organized a “Congress of Cults,” a meeting where religious leaders were expected to speak in support of the new atheistic government. The end of World War II brought new sorrows when Russians occupied Romania and the country became Communist. The Wurmbrands attempted to send their six adopted children to safety overseas but their ship was lost. ![]() Sabina’s entire family perished in the Holocaust. Coming face-to-face with Jesus Christ, he and Sabina converted to Christianity.ĭuring World War II, Nazis repeatedly arrested and beat the Wurmbrands for their faith. They gave Wurmbrand a New Testament which he hesitantly began to read. When the Wurmbrands arrived, Wolfkes and his wife showed them love. He had been praying that God would bring a Jew to him. In that mountain village lived an old man named Christian Wolfkes, who longed to win a Jew to Christ. His doctor advised him to seek fresh air so he moved to a mountain village. Worn down by destructive behaviors, he contracted tuberculosis. YOUNG RICHARD WURMBRAND, a Romanian Jew who described himself as an atheist and a Marxist, stole to get food when he had to as a child, became a successful businessman, married Sabina Oster (also a Jew), and lived a life of self-indulgence. ![]() ![]() Keywords: Albucasis (al-Zahrawi) surgery obstetrics medical illustrations, elite patronage At least some of that pictorial investment shows the Surgery being exploited because it contained material found in no other Latin surgical text: detailed instructions on gynecological and obstetrical surgery, a field in which learned male practitioners were increasingly involved from the late thirteenth century on. Already heavily illustrated in Arabic, the Latin Surgery elicited even more material and labor investment as Italian and French copyists developed its iconographic character further. This limited circulation connects, I argue, to the particular uses of this text that were at once academic, practical, and 'popular'. ![]() ![]() Whereas other surgical texts circulated quite widely in western Europe, up until the fifteenth century Albucasis's work was copied only in Italy and, to a lesser extent, in southern France. Entirely invisible for the first half century after its translation, the work began to circulate about the second quarter of the thirteenth century, first in the company of other translations by Gerard, then among other works on surgery, and then on its own. ![]() Abstract: This essay examines the circulation of Gerard of Cremona's twelfth-century Latin translation of the Surgery of al-Zahrawi (Albucasis), a work composed in Arabic in Umayyad Spain around the year 1000. ![]() ![]() I have seen the tune identified as "My Dear and Only Love, Take Heed," found in John Gamble's Commonplace Book from 1659, but I haven't been able to verify that it is the same tune that I heard on Louis Killen's recording. Louis Killen attributes the work to Robert Surtees, who apparently wrote the poem in 1807, and sent it to Walter Scott in the guise of a traditional ballad. ![]() ![]() I have seen it called "Child 208," but that appears to be a completely different ballad about the same Lord Derwentwater. I pretty much remembered the tune from Louis Killen's recording on "Old Songs, Old Friends," Front Hall Records FHR-012, Voorheesville, NY, 1978. I took the tune from "Derwentwater's Farewell," and mangled it to fit Wilde's 6-line stanzas instead of the 8 lines of the original tune. Prisoner C.3.3, known outside of prison as Oscar Wilde, wrote "The Ballad of Reading Gaol." Why not take the title on its face, and sing the poem as a ballad? "The Ballad of Reading Gaol," sung as a ballad. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Romans return and Cleopatra finds herself ready to call on Caesar to help her regain her throne. Then her younger sister and brother take the throne and Cleopatra is left outside the city of Alexandria. Cleopatra becomes co-ruler with her father and remains in that role until her father's death. ![]() The younger then marries and prepares to be ruler, but Cleopatra's father overthrows her and Cleopatra is forced to watch as her sister is publicly executed. The two young women are in control only a short time when the older is murdered by the younger. Cleopatra attempts to remain out of sight of her sisters, hoping that she won't be killed for being a threat to them. Cleopatra's older sisters take advantage of his absence and take control of the throne. When her father makes a fool of himself, she takes control of the situation and becomes the center of attention. She pleads with her father for the opportunity to attend a banquet in the honor of the Romans. Cleopatra is just seven years old when the Romans arrive in Egypt. ![]() ![]() Promotional posts, comments & flairs, media-only posts, personalized recommendation requests incl. ![]() Please use a civil tone and assume good faith when entering a conversation.

Dave Cobb, the veteran producer best known for his work with country stars like Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile and Sturgill Simpson (as well as the soundtrackĪhead of its crash-landing on February 11th, Slash told Australian Guitar all about the making of his most daring album yet. ![]() recorded it live to tape in Nashville, with key solos and some of its strongest riffs minted just hours before they hit the decks. The record’s ultra-blunt title is a reference to where it sits in the Conspirators’ catalogue, but it also nods to the downright astonishing rawness and bold authenticity it revels in. Then came 2014’s World On Fire… Then 2018’s Living The Dream… And now, in just a couple of weeks, there’ll be 4. It wasn’t the most unpredictable pairing – the Slash album featured 14 guests, Kennedy of whom was the only one to pop up twice – but critics by and large assumed that 2012’s Apocalyptic Love would be a one-and‑done affair for “Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators”… His second “official” solo album, following 2010’s eponymous overdose on cameos, the record marked his full-length collaboration with Myles Kennedy (of Alter Bridge fame) and an outfit of thrashy, mosh-weathered misfits dubbed The Conspirators. The current era of Slash supremacy started ten years ago, with the landmark release of Apocalyptic Love. ![]() ![]() (As this is B S Johnson, we get a typewritten image of Christie’s accounts.) He starts off small, for example by scratching the wall of a building that is in his way, stealing stationery from his employer and placing phony orders. As an accountant he keeps a double entry accounting record of where he has been slighted and plans to obtain appropriate credit for these debits. He settles down to work at Tapper’s but is soon disgruntled.Ĭhristie feels, as many of us must do, that life is not entirely fair to him. ![]() He takes up with a sexually eager young woman – think vacuum cleaners and shaving foam – known only as the Shrike. ![]() ![]() Christie lives with his mother but, as soon as she is not needed for novelistic purposes, she agrees to write herself out of the novel. He soon realises that this isn’t going to work and decides to become an accountant, taking up a position as an invoice clerk at Tapper’s, makers of sweets and cakes. Christie Malry starts his career as a bank clerk because he wants to be near the money. This is a wicked book and I mean that in a thoroughly positive sense.
