(‘Perhaps it was because she is the mother of the nation, and I had lost my own mother.’) The Queen opened a box of dog biscuits and invited Nott to help her feed the corgis. ![]() One touching story, often related over the last week, comes from the warzone surgeon David Nott, who when telling the Queen about his traumatic experiences in Aleppo felt himself starting to break down. Of course Elizabeth II was deft in more everyday ways too. ![]() I can scarcely remember a more gripping hour of television When she wanted to bolster the No side in the 2014 Scottish independence referendum, her intervention – commenting to a well-wisher outside church that ‘Well, I hope people will think very carefully about the future’ – was exactly calibrated to achieve a kind of decisive vagueness. When she toured the new towns of the 1950s (see image), waving at the crowds with their little Union Flags and taking tea with the young families on the just-built housing estates, she was giving her wordless blessing to the welfare state. But BBC1’s The Longest Reign: The Queen and Her People made a compelling case that Elizabeth II knew just how to tilt the balance. In all the tributes to Her late Majesty’s constancy, dignity, wisdom and devotion to duty, not enough has been said about her political cunning. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It would make her squeal with joy, so I did every time the rainbows appeared. When my daughter was a tiny baby, I would spin the prisms in our windows when the sunlight hit them to make rainbows dance on our walls. We began our rainbow exploration by playing with different types of prisms to see the different types of rainbows we could make dance on the wall.

Next, you need to turn your back to the sun and look towards the rain to see a rainbow.Ī rainbow appears when raindrops refract or bend light to see the rainbow of colors naturally contained within the sun’s white light. First, it must be raining in the distance and sunny at the same time. My daughter and I began by exploring the science of rainbows.

The exact meaning of the word “Kybalion” was lost centuries ago. This compendium was known as the “Kybalion”, although the Kybalion can only represent parts of hermeticism as it is intended for public use. In early times, there was a collection of basic hermetic doctrines taught by the teacher to the student. The Kybalion is a book of hermetic philosophy of ancient Egypt and Greece. These seven hermetic laws are the principles of mentality, equivalence, vibration, polarity, rhythm, sex, cause and effect. It contains a theoretical treatise on seven hermetic principles. The book “Kybalion” was published by three anonymous authors in 1908. ![]() ![]() Like empathy, to feel it is enough.Īdmitting that you are feeling in the first place though is not always easy. ![]() In the end, it leaves you with the emotion and in this she is saying that there is no justification that emotions need. Throughout it, Jamison continuously asks what makes this bad. A retelling events from childhood is interrupted by a discussion of the similarities between sentimentality and artificial sweeteners. In Defence of Saccharin(e) is a chapter that falls in and out of sentimentality. Empathy is what you feel as you read each essay. Empathy is going to a medical conference and seeing people who lives are ruled by illness. Empathy is watching a documentary about boys wrongly convicted of murder. ![]() Empathy is training to be a doctor, diagnosing a fake illness in a scripted scene. ![]() She has constructed a metaphor for empathy in each chapter. How do you explain what empathy is? What empathy feels like? Somehow Leslie Jamison has done just that. “Metaphors are tiny saviours leading the way out of sentimentality, small disciples of Pound, urging “Say it new! Say it new!” It’s hard for emotion to feel flat if its language is suitably novel, to feel excessive if its rendering is suitably opaque.” ― Leslie Jamison, The Empathy Exams: Essays ![]() ![]() Sapienship’s main goal is to focus the public conversation on the most important global challenges facing the world today. In 2019, following the international success of his books, Yuval Noah Harari and Itzik Yahav co-founded Sapienship: a social impact company with projects in the fields of entertainment and education. Hearing and seeing what they think, gives each of us an opportunity to decide with full consent, if we like their visions and plans for our future or if we are. ![]() ![]() Harari is the author of Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, Sapiens: A Graphic History, and more recently, the children's book series "Unstoppable Us".īorn in Israel in 1976, Harari received his PhD from the University of Oxford in 2002. Yuval Harari (hebreu: ) ( Qiryat Atta, 24 de febrer de 1976) nom abreujat de Yuval Noah Harari és un historiador israelià, conegut per ser lautor del best-seller internacional Sàpiens: Una breu història de la humanitat. Dr Yuval Noah Harari is clearly at the heart of the vision and strategy of the global Davos-Elite, the WEF, the WHO and the current occupants of most governments in the world. ![]() Harari originally specialized in world history, medieval history and military history. His current research focuses on macro-historical questions such as: What is the relationship between history and biology? What is the essential difference between Homo sapiens and other animals? Is there justice in history? Does history have a direction? Did people become happier as history unfolded? What ethical questions do science and technology raise in the 21st century? ![]() ![]() ![]() Holiday, in turn, writes about using the philosophy of Stoicism as a mental model for being more productive, not only in work, but in life itself. Each thing he did fit in his system and through persistence within that framework, he succeed. ![]() In How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big, creator of Dilbert, Scott Adams writes that being productive for him wasn’t about tips or tricks but applying a systematic approach to doing work. But with The Obstacle is The Way, author Ryan Holiday has written a book about how to use philosophy as a system for being productive. Sitting around and debating arcane positions instead of getting up and getting work done are opposed in almost every regard. Being productive doesn’t seem like it has much to do with philosophy, and sometimes philosophy seems like the opposite of productivity. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Although this side of him is apparent in the work, what I found particularly striking when reading the book in Year 12, was the human side of Stalin that Montefiore depicts – something that was often forgotten in the classroom in our immediate labelling of dictators as psychopaths. Montefiore’s account of Stalin’s life as the leader of the Soviet Union is not your typical narration of him as a paranoid, murderous dictator. ![]() Simon Sebag Montefiore’s The Court of the Red Tsar was one of the first historical books I read from cover to cover and I truly enjoyed reading, as it was finally something that I, with the assistance of my amazing teacher, had chosen to read on my own and not for an exam or as part of my homework! Despite its length, the compelling way in which the book is written meant that I was determined to get to the end and see the book’s twists and turns along the way. ![]() ![]() ![]() Luca Guadagnino: Armie Hammer’s Character Would ‘Of Course’ Be Part of ‘Call Me’ SequelĪciman told Vulture earlier this year that seeing the film inspired him to return to the characters of Elio and Oliver. ![]() Elio soon moves to Paris, where he, too, has a consequential affair, while Oliver, now a New England college professor with a family, suddenly finds himself contemplating a return trip across the Atlantic.” A chance encounter on the train with a beautiful young woman upends Sami’s plans and changes his life forever. ![]() Per the official synopsis, Samuel travels “on a trip from Florence to Rome to visit Elio, who has become a gifted classical pianist. “Find Me” will not only check back in with Elio and Oliver (played by Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer in Luca Guadagnino’s film) after the events of “Call Me By Your Name,” but also explore what has happened to Elio’s father Samuel (Michael Stuhlbarg). The original novel’s author, André Aciman, has unveiled the cover for “ Find Me,” his follow-up set to hit bookstores for a late October release date. Whispers of a “ Call Me By Your Name” sequel have been around since before the film of the same name premiered in 2017, but a reunion between Elio and Oliver is now on the horizon - in book form, at least. ![]() |
