That was a common joke about the movie The Passion of the Christ. Sorry...thought you'd get the reference.Originally Posted by Talamare
That was a common joke about the movie The Passion of the Christ. Sorry...thought you'd get the reference.Originally Posted by Talamare
Though I disagree with those who totally disappointed with series (I think, without manga, they would be fine enough), but because manga is such a great one, I'd prefer new series to start again at 0.
Truly, speaking about quality and such, anime is only 6-7 of 10, while manga is about 9 of 10.
after watching the first eps of negima, i immediately deleted it. the animation burnt my eyes. so, how did asuna go about dying and resurrecting in the series?
she made a deal with the devil or king of all demons or something to grant her magic imunity, as a cost, her life span is cut short, or something along that line
the anime realy mangled up the story realy badly thats all i got to say
I don't think thats quite true. I admit the relationship with the story is kinda coincidental at best but with most new series that are released are done with a 25 episode time scale (50 at most). This stops the animators with just coming up with complete crap just to keep the cash rolling in.Originally Posted by Fuscion420
*cough* Naruto *cough*
This also causes the writers to finish stories once the series has reached the final episode. Basiclly because they don't know if money would be forthcoming for a second series so rather than build up for another series and then find out that they won't get the funding for it, they try to kill the series without "killing" it.
If that makes any sense.
With Negima it almost seemed like they tryed to cover the main elements of the opening books, Kyoto, Mid-Terms etc. Then they found that they needed a way of bringing it to a close so someone obviously pulled the Asuna-Demon pact thing out of their a**e. Not that it wasn't a bad idea but I got to that point and just thought, "What the?!?! Where the hell did that come from??"
If it had been a kind of underlying thread for the whole thing then it would have been a bit more deep.
But I think I have gone on for long enough. Bloody university education has taught me that in order to say 1 sentence you have to make that sentence last over 30 pages...
Well MSN kind of went along the first 8 manga vol. (8 = kyoto arc), skipping alot however. It then continued with it's own ending, different from the manga. and supposedly, the next season is going to start on vol. 9 or 10, but that's a rumor. The anime wasn't bad, the storyline was nice, although it did skip hell of a lot. The artwork was pitiful, but I did like the audio.

Iron depletion seems to occur more frequently among athletes than in the general population and may affect performance capacity. Only little information is available about the prevalence of iron status abnormalities in young elite athletes and whether iron depletion is associated with gender, sport, age or nutrition- and exercise-related factors in this group. Hence, diet, exercise and haematological data from 193 elite athletes (96 males, 97 females; 16.2 ± 2.7 years) from 24 different sports were analyzed retrospectively. Most female athletes failed to meet the recommended daily allowance for iron, even though dietary iron density was higher than in males (5.75 ± 0.78 vs. 6.17 ± 0.98 mg/1,000 kcal; P = 0.001). Iron depletion (serum ferritin < 35 μg/L) occurred in 31% of male and 57% of female athletes (P < 0.001). Low haemoglobin (males: <13 g/dL; females: <12 g/dL) and haematocrit (males: <40%; females: <36%) values were equally prevalent in both genders [haemoglobin: 7.3% (males), 6.2% (females); haematocrit: 13.5% (males); 15.5% (females)]. In females, reduced ferritin levels were associated with a lower dietary iron density (5.9 ± 0.8 vs. 6.6 ± 1.1 mg/1,000 kcal; P = 0.002). Males with iron depletion had a significantly higher estimated energy expenditure (48.7 ± 7.0 vs. 44.4 ± 7.6 kcal/kg/day; P = 0.009).

How will Nigeria Move forward when her youths take so much delight in unproductive Bullshit! BBA my ass!!!
Maneta told Roki to get over himself. Roki asked "what were you studying again? Stupidity?" Maneta insulted him back by telling him that he's 27 so he should grow up. Roki told Maneta that she's spoiled, to which she replied "my mother died when I was three and my father when I was 11. How can I be spoiled?" Roki asked her if she expects sympathy for that. As the two were a bit too close to each other, Prezzo had to hold Roki back, and took him outside. While Roki was venting to Prezzo, Maneta was venting to Mampi. Mampi was very upset, as she told Maneta that people (Roki) who she thought were her friends had nominated her. "I stood up for Roki, which hurts the most," she said. Maneta told her that he is a boy trapped in a man's body and that she can't be nice to him, even though he asks her to.
"Maneta and Roki – you have both contravened the Provocation rule – repeatedly. Roki you intentionally provoked Maneta by pouring water over her head. Maneta, you then threw cleaning fluid in Roki's face. Maneta, you also threatened to stab Roki. This after you had both thrown fluids over each other earlier in the day. Big Brother asked you both to show restraint – and neither of you did. As you are both no doubt aware, you have left Big Brother with absolutely no choice. In terms of the House Rules you have both been disqualified from the game."

Pakistan's Supreme Court OKs release of militant linked to Mumbai attacks
Pakistan's highest court today upheld a decision to release Hafiz Mohammed Saeed, whom India says masterminded the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
K.M. Chaudary/AP/File
Lahore, Pakistan
The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Tuesday upheld a lower court's decision to free the leader of a militant group whom India blames for masterminding the November 2008 Mumbai attacks.
Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, leader of banned militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and its charitable arm the Jamat-ud-Dawa, was placed under house arrest a month after the Mumbai attacks that left 160 dead in the Indian financial capital. But he was released a year ago by the provincial Lahore High Court on the grounds of insufficient evidence, which led the government to appeal the decision.
Tuesday's decision provoked an immediate outcry in India, and will be seen as a setback for ties between the countries, which are slowly mending following an informal meeting between prime ministers Manmohan Singh and his Pakistani counterpart Yousuf Raza Gilani at the sidelines of the South Asian Association For Regional Cooperation (SAARC) summit in Thimpu, Bhutan, last month.
"India hopes Pakistan will take meaningful action against Saeed. We are disappointed over at Saeed being let off by Pakistan," said Indian Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao at a press conference in Delhi.

Bluetooth is a specification for wireless personal area networks (PANs) to communicate between two devices. Bluetooth provides a way to connect and exchange information between devices such as mobile phones, laptops, PCs, printers, digital cameras, and video game consoles over a secure, globally unlicensed short-range radio frequency.
It is a radio standard and communications protocol primarily designed for low power consumption, with a short range (1 metre, 10 metres, 100 metres) based on low-cost transceiver microchips in each device.
The devices use a radio communications system, so they do not have to be in line of sight of each other, and can even be in other rooms, as long as the received transmission is powerful enough.
You should use Bluetooth in developing to:
- Develop multiplayer games
- Develop applications that share information
- Communicate with other non-phone Bluetooth device (as a printer, a desktop computer, a microphone, etc.)
- Communicate with a Bluetooth server
You can transfer files using OBEX protocol.

Brief Summary
Members of the extant genus, Spheniscus, are known as the banded penguins, because of the band of black coloration that runs around their bodies. The genus name literally means "wedge-shaped". The four extant species are similar in color pattern and are known as "jackass" penguins because they emit loud calls to locate each other that resemble the bray of a donkey (Stefoff, 2005).
A common coloration theme unites the extant species such as, distinct spots on their abdomens, a small vertical stripe upon their back and a small patch of lightly feathered or nude patch of skin around its eyes that has a pink or whitish coloration (Stefoff, 2005).
The genus Spheniscus, both extant and extinct, is not found anywhere along the Antarctic coasts. All but one of the extant species of Spheniscus inhabit temperate climates, which include South Africa and the southern coastal areas of Argentina and Chile. The Galápagos penguin (Spheniscus meniculus) is found on along the coasts of the Galapagos Islands and inhabits one of the most northern extents of the globe occupied by any penguin species (Stefoff, 2005).
All species of penguin within the genus Spheniscus raise their young in burrows (Stefoff, 2005).
The genus Spheniscus (banded penguins) is comprised today of four extant species: Magellanic penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus), Humboldt penguin (Spheniscus humboldti), Galápagos penguin (Spheniscus mendiculus) and the African penguin, black-footed or jackass penguin (Spheniscus demersus) (Stefoff, 2005).
The genus Spheniscus (banded penguins) also presently contains four known extinct species, which include three from the Late Miocene to the Early Pliocene (3.6 -11.6 Ma) of the central Andean coast (Spheniscus chilensis, Spheniscus megaramphus, Spheniscus urbinai) and the oldest known member of the genus is from the Middle to Late Miocene (11–13 Ma) of Cerro La Bruja, Peru (Spheniscus muizoni) (Gohlich, 2007; Ksepka & Clarke, 2010).

Physical Description
Spheniscus demursus is a fairly accurate representative for the genus, Spheniscus. Adults of the species stand around 45 cm tall and weigh an average of 3.1 kg (Cooper, 1977; Stefoff, 2005).
Researchers analyzed skeletal remains and estimated body mass for all fossil penguins. The study found that fossil species ranged from 3 kg to 81 kg in total mass. The largest fossil species of penguin was approximately 2.5 times as massive as the largest extant spheniscid. The findings show that members of Spheniscus are small-sized penguins in both extant and extinct forms (Livezey, 1989).
All extant members of the genus have coloration that serves as camouflage, with a white stomach to match the bright surface of the ocean (to fool oceanic predators from below) and a black coloration on their back that serves disguise them in the water from aerial predators. A common coloration theme unites the extant species such as, distinct spots on their abdomens, a small vertical stripe upon their black and a small patch of lightly feathered or nude patch of skin around its eyes that has a pink or whitish coloration (Cooper, 1977; Stefoff, 2005).
Compared to other genera within the spheniscids, the genus Spheniscus is moderately dimorphic, with size differences between the sexes (Livezey, 1989).

General Ecology
Spheniscus live between 10 to 27 years in the wild. Extinct members of the genus most likely fell within those natural lifespans (Crawford et al., 2001; Stefoff, 2005).
Members of the genus Spheniscus are coastal-dwelling predators and prey on small shoaling fish, such as anchovies (Engraulis capensis) and sardines (Sardinops sagax). Various crustaceans and cephalopods are also known to regularly fall prey to the banded penguin (Cunningham et al., 2008).
Natural predators of the genus Spheniscus include seals, feral cats, genets, leopards, mongooses and toothed whales. Eggs and chicks are also preyed upon by gulls and ibises. They also must compete with breeding space with many pinniped (e.g., seals) species (Crawford, et al., 2001; Randall and Randall, 1990; Stefoff, 2005).

Life History and Behavior
Social Behavior
Extant members of the genus Spheniscus are noisy. African penguins (Spheniscus demersus) are also known by the common name "jackass penguins" because of the loud donkey-like sounds that they produce. The noise is for the distinct purpose of communication, and research has shown that there are three types of calls, the bray, the yell, and the haw. Each call is intended to communicate or serve a specific social purpose, to make contact, defend territory or attract mates, respectively. Spheniscus is a very social genus (Frost, et al., 2009; Thumser & Ficken, 1998).

- Thumser, N., M. Ficken. (1998). A Comparison of the Vocal Repertoires of Captive Spheniscus Penguins. Marine Ornithology, 26: 41-48.
Feeding Behavior
Members of the genus Spheniscus are predators of small shoaling fish, including anchovies (Engraulis capensis) and sardines (Sardinops sagax). Various crustaceans and cephalopods are also known to regularly fall prey to the banded penguin.
A recent study has shown that Spheniscus demersus has a functioning sense of smell that assists them in finding and locking onto their specific prey items. This sensory aptitude was, until recently, unknown and significantly increases what we know about their foraging efficiency (Cunningham et al., 2008).

Banded penguin
The banded penguins are the penguins of the Spheniscus genus. There are four living species of penguins known as banded penguins, and all have similar coloration. They are sometimes also known as "jack-ass penguins" due to their loud locator calls sounding similar to a donkey braying. Common traits include a band of black that runs around their bodies bordering their black dorsal coloring, black beaks with a small vertical white band, distinct spots on their bellies, and a small patch of unfeathered or thinly feathered skin around their eyes that can be either white or pink. All members of this genus lay their eggs and raise their young in burrows.[1]
The banded penguins belong to the genus Spheniscus, which was established by Mathurin Jacques Brisson in 1760.[2] The word Spheniscus is the diminutive of sphẽn or sphẽnos, meaning "wedge"; this is a reference to the penguin's thin, wedge-shaped flippers.[3]
The African, Humboldt, and Magellanic species all live in more temperate climates such as South Africa and the southern coasts of Chile and Argentina while the Galápagos penguin is native to the Galapagos Islands, making it the most northerly of all penguin species. The banded penguins are not (and apparently never were[citation needed]) Antarctic.
The four extant species of banded penguins (Spheniscus) are:
Image Common name Binomial name Magellanic penguin Spheniscus magellanicus Humboldt penguin Spheniscus humboldti Galápagos penguin Spheniscus mendiculus African penguin, black-footed or jackass penguin Spheniscus demersus
Several extinct species are known from prehistoric fossils:
- Spheniscus muizoni (Pisco Middle/Late Miocene of Cerro La Bruja, Peru)
- Spheniscus chilensis (Late Miocene/Early Pliocene of C Andean coast)
- Spheniscus megaramphus (Late Miocene/Early Pliocene of C Andean coast)
- Spheniscus urbinai (Late Miocene/Early Pliocene of C Andean coast)
The former Spheniscus predemersus is now placed in a monotypic genus Inguza.

Economic Disadvantage and Young Children's Emotional and Behavioral Problems: Mechanisms of Risk
This study aimed to establish potential mechanisms through which economic disadvantage contributes to the development of young children's internalizing and externalizing problems. Prospective data from fetal life to age 3 years were collected in a total of 2,169 families participating in the Generation R Study. The observed physical home environment, the provision of learning materials in the home, maternal depressive symptoms, parenting stress, and harsh disciplining practices were all analyzed as potential mediators of the association between economic disadvantage and children's internalizing and externalizing problem scores. Findings from structural equation modeling showed that for both internalizing and externalizing problems, the mechanisms underlying the effect of economic disadvantage included maternal depressive symptoms, along with parenting stress and harsh disciplining. For internalizing but not for externalizing problem scores, the lack of provision of learning materials in the home was an additional mechanism explaining the effect of economic disadvantage. The current results suggest that interventions that focus solely on raising income levels may not adequately address problems in the family processes that emerge as a result of economic disadvantage. Policies to improve the mental health of mothers with young children but also their home environments are needed to change the economic gradient in child behavior.

Professional Wine Reviews for Roberto Voerzio Barolo Sarmassa 2003Read More... Additional information » |
The dusty purple grapes of the Nebbiolo variety are widely considered to be amongst the finest in the world, and hold many unique characteristics which have secured their place in wine making history. Indeed, almost all of the most respected and sought after red wines of Italy are made using this grape varietal, and it wasn't long before several New World wineries started experimenting with the fruit of this special vine, too. Nebbiolo grapes are renowned for their ability to age beautifully, with their strong and dense tannins mellowing out and becoming more balanced inside the oak. Alongside this, they hold some of the most complex and exciting flavors to be found in any grape, which range from gorgeous notes of black truffle, to aromatic violets and tobacco tones.
The region of Piedmont in the cool, breezy north-western part of Italy is renowned throughout the world for high quality, flavorful and delicious red wines, and for the elegant and refined sparkling wines such as Asti which typify the area. The region is located at the foothills of the Alps, close to the French and Swiss borders, and benefits from some interesting micro-climates formed by its proximity to the mountain range. The key grapes for the fine red wines of Piedmont are Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera all powerful varietals which are packed full of a range of fruit flavors and which have an affinity for oak making them ideal for aging When it comes to the sparkling Asti, wineries cultivate plenty of Moscato grapes, whose relative transparency make them ideal for expressing their terroir and providing some interesting flavors in the bottle.
Italy is recognised as being one of the finest wine producing countries in the world, and it isn't difficult to see why. With a vast amount of land across the country used primarily for vineyard cultivation and wine production, each region of Italy manages to produce a wide range of excellent quality wines, each representative of the region it is produced in. Any lover of Italian wines will be able to tell you of the variety the country produces, from the deliciously astringent and alpine-fresh wines of the northern borders, to the deliciously jammy and fruit-forward wines of the south and the Italian islands. Regions such as Barolo are frequently compared with Bordeaux and Burgundy in France, as their oak aged red wines have all the complexity and earthy, spicy excellence of some of the finest wines in the world, and the sparkling wines of Asti and elsewhere in Italy can easily challenge and often exceed the high standards put forward by Champagne. Thanks to excellent terrain and climatic conditions, Italy has long since proven itself a major player in the world of wines, and long may this dedication to quality and excellence continue.
There are few wine producing countries in the world quite as famous or loved as Italy, and within Italy, one small region seems to stand head and shoulders above all others. The hilly, misty sub-region of Barolo is home to many of Italy's finest traditional wineries, and it enjoys a reputation for excellence and quality unmatched by any other place in the country. The secret to Barolo's success is down to the mineral rich soils and cool, foggy climatic conditions which allow the Nebbiolo grape to grow so well, and express so much flavor and complexity. As such, the red wines of Barolo have become a benchmark for high quality, traditionally made and bottled Italian wines, and are dearly loved all around the world.

Why Jared Loughner was allowed to buy a gun
Despite evidence that Arizona shooting suspect Jared Loughner is mentally unstable, he was never declared mentally unfit by a court, so his name did not appear in the federal background-check database used by gun sellers.
Charlie Riedel/AP
Evidence is mounting that Arizona shooting suspect Jared Loughner was mentally unstable – and yet he was still allowed to purchase a gun legally.
The federal Gun Control Act of 1968 prohibits the possession of firearms by the mentally ill. So why was Mr. Loughner able to guy a gun?
The ability to own a firearm is a constitutionally protected right, and depriving someone of that right involves a legal process. Under the 1968 law, a person must be declared mentally unfit by a court or have been committed to a mental institution to lose his or her right to possess firearms.
Arizona shooting: Seven times politics turned to threats or violence last year
In 1993, the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act required the establishment of a national database known as the National Instant Background Check System (NICS), where the names of people ineligible to possess firearms are to be entered.
According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, such information is provided to the NICS Index by local, state, tribal, and federal agencies.

If one thing can be dropped from the Jesus story, the whole of Christianity will disappear. If one thing, only one thing, the phenomenon of resurrection: that after being crucified and remaining dead three days, Jesus came back again. If this part can be dropped, the whole of Christianity will disappear. You believe in Jesus because you are afraid of death, and he seems to be the only man who has come back again, who has defeated death.
Christianity became the greatest religion in the world. Buddhism could not become that great, for the simple reason that the fear of death helps people to believe in Christ more than in Buddha. In fact to believe in Buddha needs guts, because Buddha says, "I teach you total death." This small death - he is not satisfied with it. He says: This small death won't do, you will be coming back again. I teach you the total death, the ultimate death. I teach annihilation, so that you will never come back again, so that you will disappear, you will be diffused in existence, you won't be any more, any longer; not even a trace will be left behind.
In India, Buddhism disappeared, completely disappeared. Such a great, so-called religious country, and Buddhism completely disappeared. Why? People believe in religions which teach that you will live after death, that the soul is immortal. Buddha was saying that the only thing worth realizing is that you are not. Buddhism could not survive in India, because it didn't give you a cover-up for your fear.
Buddha did not say to people, "Believe in me." Hence his teaching disappeared from this country, because people want to believe. People don't want truth, they want belief. Belief is cheap. Truth is dangerous, arduous, difficult; one has to pay for it. One has to seek and search, and there is no guarantee that you will find it, there is no guarantee that there is any truth anywhere. It may not be at all; the goal may not exist.
People want belief, and Buddha said - his last message to the world was - "appa dipo bhav: be a light unto yourself." He had said this because his disciples were crying. Ten thousand sannyasins surrounding him, of course they were sad and tears were falling; their master was leaving. And Buddha said to them, "Don't cry. Why are you crying?"
One of the disciples, Ananda, said, "Because you are leaving us, because you were our only hope, because we had long hoped and hoped that it is through you we will attain to truth."
It was to answer Ananda that Buddha said, "Don't be worried about that. I cannot give you truth; nobody else can give it to you, it is not transferable. But you can attain it on your own. Be a light unto yourself."
The same is my attitude. You need not believe in me. I don't want believers here, I want seekers, and the seeker is a totally different phenomenon. The believer is not a seeker. The believer does not want to seek, that's why he believes. The believer wants to avoid seeking, that's why he believes. The believer wants to be delivered, saved, he needs a savior. He is always in search of a messiah: somebody who can eat for him, chew for him, digest for him. But if I eat, your hunger is not going to be satisfied. Nobody can save you except yourself.

Hey, how about we introduce ourselves? (self.Playclub)
submitted 2 years ago by MacBeth_in_Yellow
Since this will likely be a small subreddit for a while, perhaps those of us who are part of its humble beginnings should introduce ourselves a little bit. Let's just cover the following questions:
What do you currently do and/or what have you done that makes you interested in reading plays?
Assuming you are or were involved with theatre, what was your specific field? (For example, were you an actor? Director? Designer?) Let us know a little about your specific background.
If you're comfortable talking about it, where is your general location?
When you read a play script, what usually catches your interest? Do you tend to look more at the characters and their relationships? Do you tend to pick out a role or two that you'd love to play? Do you tend to consider technical aspects or specific challenges that the play would present? (And so forth...)
I'll answer for myself in a response, but I do look forward to hearing from everyone! Feel free to jump in, even if you haven't previously posted at r/Playclub.

Pretty much same as MacBeth_In_Yellow. We're pals.
My background and personal drive stems from the amount of technical work I did in college. I was heavy into acting in high school, but I found my niche in set construction and stage management when I attended college.
Again, same as MacBeth_In_Yellow. We're good pals.
On a first read-through (if I have more than one) I like getting a sense of plot and story, and character interaction. Technical challenges also stand out to me - for instance, I had to stop and put the script for The King In Yellow by Thom Ryng down when I read that the pillars should appear to be melting. That was a major "WTF, how am I supposed to make that happen" moment.

I own my own theatre company and I am an actor. Reading plays is a must anyway, but this helps give me a wider perspective of shows. I've already picked up scripts that I normally wouldn't have!
I am primarily an actor. I do direct and produce quite a bit, but I prefer to act. My favorites are the classics, so I stick with them mostly.
I'm in the midwest, USA.
The first thing is the language (comes from being a classic fan, I think). If the playwright has a good grasp of language I'm hooked. I do look at it from the actor perspective, but fairly quickly switch to director mode. I like to be able to paint a pretty clear picture in my head of what a show looks like.
[–]sculliosis 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I'm a theatre performance major (first year). I already take a class where I read a play a week but that ends after this year. I want to continue reading plays and I feel as if this club is a good way to find some.
Performer but zero professional work thus far. College plays, high school plays, and community theatre make up my resume.
Richmond, Virginia is where i'm at for school (VCU if you follow March Madness you'll know of us). The rest of the year im in Northern Virginia.
I don't look for roles i'd love to play although I know if I can't see how I could act a show at all (Sarah Ruhl plays for example, i feel as if I would be awful in), i generally dislike the book. What I usually look for is a story that attracts me and moves me.
[–]MacBeth_in_Yellow[S] 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Okay, here I go:
I am not currently involved with theatre, but I'm hoping that will change soon--this is a long story. I have done a number of plays in the past, and I was a theatre major back in my undergraduate days (late 1990's). I have an uncoming move taking place in a couple of months, and I hope to seize this new city's available theatre by spearheading some productions, so my interest in reading plays has a lot to do with a combination of personal pleasure and the desire to use this knowledge to assist with the local theatre folks.
I've done the following things, in order of frequency: acting, tech direction, property work, play directing, and playwriting. I'd say my main interests are acting, directing and playwriting, although I do enjoy set and property work as well.
I currently live in southeast Minnesota, although I will soon live in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
I tend to look for roles that I'd like to play when reading a script, although there's always consideration taken regarding how much fun (or how difficult) it would be to direct it. Technical challenges tend to catch my eye as well.

I am currently healing from a bad car wreck that has left me unable to perform for a while. I have been an actor/singer/dancer for about 15 years.
I have been an actor and director. I went to school for BFA in musical theater. I have been performing since I was about 13. Love live theater more than anything. Years of professional work, started out with community theater (which i still support and participate in), performed at theme parks, cruise ships, regional, local and touring companies.
I am in Houston, TX
I look for traits that I can either closely identify with, or traits that I couldn't possibly relate to. I look for depth of character and obstacles that need to be overcome. I love to see the character struggle and become stronger for it. I am a bit of a sappy fella, so I really love tragedies and really sad endings.

Islam ruined what the Zoroastrians created through hard work, integrity and love.
I enjoyed this interview enormously. It not only speaks about a wonderful historical artifact, but it also shows how museums and historical studies are relevant to us today in relation to deep and fundamental issues. In the meantime, governments worldwide are subjecting research funding to "impact"- whatever that means, and which is usually associated with technological developments in the short term.
Cyrus the great (who probably had a Jewish wife, Esther) is rolling in his grave to see what has become of the great Persian empire post Islamification. From defender of minorities to a state that now openly supports terrorism and systematically oppresses minorities. God have mercy on us.
Persian is the cradle of civilization. Iranians never robbed the world, never stole anybody's land. Persia will rise again. We will build our country again and show the world an Iran which will surprise all
First the Greeks might disagree with you :)
Persia will rise, when the current clown government goes bye-bye. Heck, you could make an Islamist state better than Iran's current government.
Seriously, we should stop viewing the Persians as the bad guys in 300. Cyrus was a great man! If there is a "Mount Rushmore" of all time historic leaders, Cyrus is a no-brainer. Politicans want to be like FDR, Reagan, and even clowns like Che Guevara. Listen politicans, be like Cyrus!
Yeah right! You clearly haven't noticed that Cyrus created the greatest empire in history through *conquest*. This guy was not FDR. He did not create a welfare state for the poor; he crushed them underfoot. He clearly was a lot smarter than your average despot, however, and realized that getting people to opt into your subordinating rule will create more social stability than crushing oppression. But there still was oppression. The states that were once autonomous were now subject to his rule, and there were still occupying forces everywhere ready and willing to impose that rule.
To believe that allowing religious freedom was driven by the ideal of human rights is miss the Machiavellian aspect of this decree. It was a decree designed to undermine rebellion and create order within a sprawling empire. It is analogous to a modern state implementing a social safety net in order to undercut Marxist militants, rather than because the rulers believe that the workers deserve better social care. It is ultimately a tool of domination and control, that undercuts rebellion by keeping everyone in line.
All enduring governments must strive to establish and maintain legitimacy within the bulk of the population because that is the root of social stability, and by extension, the means by which the ruling elite keeps power. Once the people *accept* the laws that are established by the governing authority, then legitimacy has also been established. People might grumble about the details but they do not question the authority of the government to make the rules. At that point, the elite is in control, and the military gets replaced with police. This is as true for modern democratic states as it was for Cyrus' autocratic empire. What constitutes legitimacy has changed but the requirement of establishing it has not.
The Ayatollah cracked it with a cold stare glance.
The Cyrus Cylinder has 5 unique features among many others that have happened for the first time in History :
1. Bringing Peace to the region , after several millennia of wars , violence , bloodshed and conflicts .
2. Emancipation ; Abolition of Slavery and Forced Labor .
3. Repatriation of the Captives and Displaced People .
4. Freedom of Worship , Religion , Cultural Values and Civil Rights .
5. Return of all captured gods and religious vessels and repair of the the ruined temples .
Because of these aspects , the Decree is called the "First Declaration of Human Rights" .
The cylinder's text contains a statement from Cyrus. He describes the pious deeds he performed after his conquest, restoring peace to Babylon and other cities, freeing their inhabitants from their yoke, and he "brought relief to their dilapidated housing thus putting an end to their complaints." He repaired the ruined temples in the cities he conquered, restored their cults, and returned their sacred images as well as their former inhabitants which Narbonidus had taken to Babylon.
My guess is that he allowed these changes to occur for the practical reason that they greatly reduced people's discontent, and thus greatly lowered the likelihood of further uprisings and more war. I can't see anywhere in the text where he stated that people had an innate right to them.
I have tried once to add Cyrus Cylinder to the article of human rights in Wikipedia but it was removed. When you read this article you never encounter anything about Cyrus Cylinder. It goes with many articles about art and science in which there seems to be a systematic consent that the orient is not given credit neither in art, nor in science, literature, etc. It same goes with the human rights history. Nothing is written about Cyrus Cylinder. If you read this article or many other articles in art, literature, science, etc. in Wikipedia (that I reckon is the most used free encyclopedia of our time) everything seems to have developed in the West. Then you wonder why people in the east are very suspicious about social reality that is made and publicized in the west.
Unfortunately , the Wikipedia articles of Cyrus the Great and the Cyrus Cylinder are vandalized by a person called Jona Lendering , who is deliberately mis-editing the articles out of contempt , as he's had arguments with other editors , and subsequently he watches most entries about the Cylinder including those in the Human Rights articles . Sadly , Wikipedia has not yet made a robust regulatory act to deal with such editors or to restrict their dictatorial control . For more info pls refer to this link ;
Here we have an Emperor from ancient times, a very, very powerful man, then the world's most powerful man by a long measure, far more powerful than anyone has been in recent centuries, from an era when absolute rule and the right to loot through might, might have been expected to be the norm, declaring that his subjects had rights and could practice their own ways and religions. Others have not behaved in this way when militarily dominant and technologically or economically advanced. So the distinctive Egyptian culture, for instance, continued unbroken even with dynasties today recorded as, "Persian dynasties", even the Romans allowed this (not sure who ruled first – Persians or Romans or was it Persian, Roman, then Persian again) but this culture was smashed and destroyed when others came to rule.
When will the proud heirs of the home country people of Emperor Cyrus be free again? What would Emperor Cyrus have thought of the present day situation?
