TC TO MARGARET A. CARLYLE ; 19 December 1852; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18521219-TC-MAC-01; CL 27: 368-369
Chelsea, 19 decr 1852—
My dear good Mother,
I intended to write you a much longer Letter; but, alas, my time is completely up; and you must, as in so many other case, take the will for the deed. This poor word will be better than none at all.
I have got now upon a little bit of work, suitable to my confused condition and mood,—a kind of Translation relating to Frederic, which I can work at steadily in any humour; and for the last week I am busy indeed! It will last me about another 8 days or more, and by that time, I shall perhaps see better ahead a little. Who knows? At any rate this thing needed to be done; and the doing of it is a noticeable contentment to me.
We have now again a prospect of getting done with this endless wet weather! Such weather was never seen in these parts before; nothing but mud, dark skies and soaking rain or drizzle. I shall be right glad when it ends; for it seems my back, withal, won't get properly well till the skies clear: it is now nothing to speak of, nor indeed ever was, and, the worst form of it only lasted 3 days; but the dirty feeling that lodges in the part (and indeed comes out of the liver, as I perceive) shall be very welcome to go, and will do it, I calculate, so soon as the weather mends. Jane is pretty well for her; and goes out almost daily (in some fair blink) in spite of the weather.
Our scandalous Protection Ministry, we rejoice to know, is gone again! It was turned out on Friday (or rather Thursday night); and the Whigs are now trying to form a "Coalition" &c: tho' nothing is settled yet.1 Whatever they form, it will hardly be so ugly as that vile Jew swindler was;—"lineal descendant of the Impenitent Thief," as O'Connel2 once called him!— About all that, however, I really care but little; we stay very solitary here, and try to mind our own work.
From the Doctor we have heard nothing since Jamie saw him, when he wrote us a Note about you. Isabella's Note came also; for which our kind thanks. We long much to hear of you dear Mother; and are continually sensible of our mercy in your respect. Oh take care of yourself; I intreat them all to take care of you! I shall get another Note before long? I will myself write one before long.— The very daylight is now leaving me, and I must s[ay] Adieu. Perhaps you won't get this tomorrow after all? Never mind, never mind! my thoughts will be with you whether or not!—Blessings on you all. T. Carlyle

"Latin . . . Why Study It At All?"
A colleague recently shared an article by William Harris, Prof. Em. Middlebury College, titled "Latin . . . Why Study It At All?" I found the article intriguing. Professor Harris expresses his discontent with the usual line-up of reasons for studying Latin. He then goes on to offer his own reasons for the study, strong reasons which I think must seriously be considered not only by those who question the study, but also by those who seek to support it. A link for the article is provided along with my thoughts on two of his arguments in particular.
"Latin . . . Why Study It At All?"
William Harris, Prof. Em. Middlebury College
While I think the author oversimplifies his objections to the "usual arguments" for Latin (there are still many benefits in the usual line up) the author has made several good points that should be considered. The argument that resonates most strongly with me is the lack of authentic reading most programs provide. I too am frustrated by programs that view Latin grammar as both the means and the end of a Latin program. It saddens me to see students learn a language and then stop just short of reading. How can one not see the value of reading Vergil in the original? Or for Christian schools Augustine or Aquinas? It seems that is like taking a music class, studying the notes, learning "Mary Had a Little Lamb" but never learning to play anything of Gershwin or Mozart. What is the point? The language in and of itself should not be the goal of study, but the opportunity to read and enjoy the masters in their element. Reading original texts is the beauty of the Latin Alive! program. We are having the students read adapted and then authentic passages as soon as they are able. This is vastly different from Cambridge, Ecce, Orberg, etc. All of our work in each chapter from vocab, to grammar lesson, even to simple sentences is meant to prep them to read a passage. And the passages offered are just marvelous: Cicero, Vergil, Pliny, Tertullian, Augustine, Aquinas, even Newton. There is not another program that offers the variety of styles and genres found in the LA series, particularly the reader.
Another fantastic point highlighted in this article is the case for reading Latin out loud. In my own classes, I always have students read the Latin out loud before interpreting into English and find that to be very important. Even the finest Roman orations and works of poetry were meant to be heard, not read in silence. The goal is to begin to follow Latin as a Roman would, to hear and feel the language not just look at it as a mathematical equation. It is also important for students to understand the Roman mind as revealed in Latin grammar. In many ways, their way of thinking and speaking makes more sense than modern English. We are looking at the way two different cultures express thought and that is fascinating. It ought not to be excluded in the classroom. Both of these points draw attention to studying Latin as the beautiful expression of a language for a culture and a way of thinking. Let's entice students to continue in Latin by engaging them in the joys of the beauty of this literature and the language in which it is contained.
The Horatii, A Short Film
The following links are to a short film created by one of our sixth grade students at Grace Academy. The story, told entirely in Latin, recounts the thrilling story of the Horatii vs. the Curiatii. The lego animation accompanied by the dramatic Latin reading makes for a wonderful short film.
Spoiler Alert: The synopses below will reveal key events and the story's ending.
Click here to watch video: Horatii_video1
The Romans and the Albans were at war for some time when the suggestion was made that representatives from each tribe should fight on behalf of their people, thus deciding victory and limiting bloodshed. According to Roman legend there happened to be two sets of triplet brothers both distinguished in courage and valor. These fought for honor and for country; the Horatii for Rome, the Curiatii for Alba Longa. The battle did not start off well for the Horatii. Two of the brothers were killed by the Curiatii. The odds were now stacked 3 against 1.

The last of the Horatii is now faced with the loss of his two brothers and a battle with 3 Curiatii who probably think this gig is in the bag. Fortunately, this is a clever Horatius. He starts off running, faking his retreat. The Curiatii, exulting in near victory, start sprinting after him and lose formation. As the first of the Curiatii brothers reaches Horatius3, Horatius turns and delivers a death blow. The next two brothers suffer the same fate each in their turn.
The impetus for this creative video was a dramatic interpretation assignment. Each year at Grace Academy we give students a Latin passage based on an oration or story from ancient Rome. The students first translate this story, then they memorize the passage, and then they must perform the passage with dramatic flare. Much attention is given to understanding what they are saying and how they are saying/performing the passage. This video, which was not assigned, flows from a young creative mind who clearly loves learning Latin!
Ancient Settlement Discovered Off Greek Island Of Delos
Researchers knew there were ruins of some sort in shallow waters off the Greek island of Delos, assuming the structures were simply remnants of a port that had been submerged.
But a recent examination of the ocean bottom showed it wasn't a port down there but the ruins of an ancient settlement dating back to the first century B.C., complete with its own pottery workshop and other buildings.
Divers from the National Hellenic Research Foundation and the Greek Ministry of Culture discovered large stones, columns, clay pots, and the remnants of a kiln at a depth of just six feet, according to English language media outlet the Greek Reporter.
"Similar workshops have been found in Pompeii and Herculaneum," the ministry said in a written statement, as reported by Discovery News.
The researchers expect the discovery to shed new light on the history of Delos, which is an important site for Greek mythology. According to Greek myth, the sun god Apollo and his sister Artemis were born on Delos.
Delos was also a thriving cultural center from the 8th to the first century B.C., and it served as a bustling cosmopolitan port between the 2nd and 1st centuries B.C., according to UNESCO. The island was abandoned in the 6th century A.D.
Today, Delos consists only of ruins and is maintained as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Latin Syllabication and Accent Review
The following post is a synopsis of the rules for syllabication and accent of words in Latin literature. Students will find this increasingly helpful as they begin to work with oratory and poetry in Latin. I very much encourage the memorization and recitation of such pieces. While Latin is predominantly a written language today, it was once crafted to sway minds and move hearts. We should not deprive students the opportunity to both study and experience the spoken language of masters such as Cicero and Vergil. This summation is included as an appendix in Latin Alive Book 3 and Book 4. The rules also appear in books 1 and 2.
Caveat: I am unable to include macra (long marks) on this blog site. I will make notations of long vowels where important.
The term "syllable" is used to refer to a unit of a word that consists of a single, uninterrupted sound formed by a vowel, diphthong, consonant, or by a consonant-vowel combination. Syllabication is the act of dividing a word in order to reveal its individual syllables. With English this can be tricky because there are often letters that remain silent. However, in Latin there are no completely silent letters, so any given Latin word will have as many syllables as it has vowels or diphthongs. The rules of syllabication indicate that words are to be divided as follows:
1. Between two like consonants:
pu-el-la ter-ra
2. Between the last of two or more different consonants:
ar-ma temp-to
3. Between two vowels or a vowel and a diphthong (never divide a diphthong):
Cha-os proe-li-um
4. Before a single consonant:
me-mo-ri-a fe-mi-nae
Caveat Discipulus: As with most rules, there are sometimes exceptions to the syllabications rules just mentioned. The most common exception occurs with prefixes. A division will always occur between the prefix and the root word. The root word will always divide as if he prefix was never there. Consider the following example:
creo = cre-o pro-cre-o
Notice how the division in the compound verb occurs between the prefix and the root word. Notice also that the cr is still not divided when the prefix is added.
Special Rules:
5. Before a stop + liquid combination, except if it is caused by the addition of the prefix to the word (see above): pu-bli-ca (but ad-la-tus according to the prefix exception)
stops: b, c, d, g, p, t liquids: l, r
6. After the letter x. Though it is technically two consonants, it is indivisible in writing, so we divide after it:
ex-i-ti-um ex-e-o
7. Before s + stop, if the s is preceded by a consonant:
mon-stro ad-scrip-tum
Each syllable has a characteristic called quantity. The quantity of a syllable is its length—how much time it takes to pronounce or say that syllable. A long syllable has twice the quantity or length of a short syllable. It is easy to tell the quantity of syllables in Latin and it will be important to know how to do so in order to properly accent words. Syllables are long when they have:
1. a long vowel (marked by a macron);
2. a diphthong;
3. a short vowel followed by two consonants or the letters x or z.
The only exception for this two consonant rule is the letter h. This letter is often reduced to an aspiration, barely audible.
Otherwise, syllables are short. The first two rules are said to make a syllable long by nature because the vowel sound is naturally long. The last rule is said to make a syllable long by position, because the length depends on the placement of the vowel within that word. Recognizing the length of a syllable becomes particularly important when reading poetry.
Caveat Discipulus (Let the Student Beware): The quantity of the syllable does not change the length of the vowel. You should still pronounce short vowels according the phonetic rules you have just learned. The quantity of the syllable will affect how you accent the words.
Accent is the vocal emphasis placed on a particular syllable of a word. The accent can only fall on one of the last three syllables of a word. Each one of these syllables has a name. The last syllable is referred to as the ultima, meaning "last" in Latin. The next to last syllable is called the penult (from paene ultima, meaning "almost last"). The syllable third from the end is known as the antepenult (from ante paene ultima, which means "before the almost last"). Which one of these syllables carries the accent depends on the length of the syllables.
The rules for accent are as follows:
1. In words of two syllables always accent the penult or first syllable: aúc-tor.
2. In words of more than two syllables, accent the penult (next to last syllable) when it is long:
* The e in monemus is long by nature and should have a macron
3. Otherwise, accent the antepenult (third to last syllable): fé-mi-na.
4. The ultima will never carry the accent unless it is a one-syllable word: nóx.
Latin Alive Reader: Latin Literature from Cicero to Newton!
We are very excited to announce the publication of the fourth and final installment of the Latin Alive series! The Latin Reader is the fruition of the dream Gaylan and I shared for the series from its earliest beginning. It was our desire to create a series that would train students to read original Latin literature and then enjoy the fruits of such literature, not just from ancient Rome, but literature that reflects the great breadth and depth of Latin influence through the ages. This unique reader provides excerpts of Latin literature that includes the prose of Cicero, Caesar, and Bacon; the poetry of Vergil, Ovid, Queen Elizabeth and Milton; the theological treatises of Augustine, Luther, and Aquinas; and the scientific musings of Pliny and Newton. And these are only a few of the authors represented! So great is the content, that we are delighted to welcome Dr. Steven L. Jones as a third author for this special book. You can read more about Steven on the "about the authors" page of this blog site.
As with previous LA books we include biographies of each Latin author so students can learn about the context of each piece: historical, social, and even political. Footnotes abound which provide further insight to the language, idioms, and cultural references for each piece. We have also provided a variety of reading comprehension questions (Latin and English) to allow teachers to explore the readings further with students. For all intents and purposes, this book serves as the basis for a humanities class in Latin. For my students, this is their favorite Latin class.
Another distinctive unique to this book is the inclusion of a thorough grammar review in the second section. Teachers and students may use this to review aspects of Latin grammar that apply to the pieces of literature they are reading. Numerous appendices with reference charts, pronunciation review, and lessons in both Medieval Latin and poetry make this book on Latin literature complete. There truly is nothing like this in circulation to date. We are overjoyed to share this treasury with all of you.
You can read more about the Latin Alive Reader on the CAP website, including sample chapters. Here is a sneak peek at the wealth of literature contained within its pages. Among these you will see many of the authors and titles often included among the literature lists of classical schools. This is very intentional as it is our hope through this book to support and enhance the study of these pieces of literature.

- Cornelia Gracchi, Nepos
- De Bello Gallico, Caesar
- Tria Poemata, Catullus
- Aeneid, Vergil

Why everyone should learn the ancient languages.
The Latin vote
Later in this issue, the Yale classicist Donald Kagan writes about Sir James Headlam-Morley, the man who occupied the position of Historical Adviser to the British Foreign Office in the 1920s. Headlam-Morley was a fount of good advice about all manner of strategic issues, not least the threat of German militarism. Headlam-Morley's deep acquaintance with the past allowed him to predict the future with a gimlet-eyed clarity that, unfortunately for the world, most of those charged with steering the ship of state in the post-World War I years lacked. Headlam-Morley, Professor Kagan observes, was "a man with the only proper training for an expert in almost any field of human endeavor, but especially for the conduct of foreign policy and diplomacy: I mean, of course, Classical Studies."
We smiled when we read that, too. The "of course" was especially nice. A more charming example of disciplinary chauvinism would be hard to find. Except that it is more than disciplinary chauvinism. It is also the simple, pragmatic truth.
It is a truth whose practicality the industrialist and oil man Jean Paul Getty appreciated. Getty, widely reckoned to be the richest man in the world until his death in 1976, employed only classicists to run his worldwide business empire. He understood that mastery of (say) the passive periphrastic was a more important business qualification than an MBA. (Pecunia obtinenda est!) It wasn't romance but competitiveness that underlay his decision. Asked why he insisted on employing classicists in key positions, he answered bluntly: "They sell more oil."
We take the story about J. Paul Getty from the opening pages of Gwynne's Latin, a new introductory Latin textbook by N. M. Gwynne, author of Gwynne's Grammar, "The Ultimate Introduction to Grammar and the Writing of Good English," which was a surprise bestseller in England last year and has been making some headway in America since its release here a couple of months ago.
When it comes to grammar, Mr. Gwynne, himself a retired businessman, is a prescriptivist. Not for him the split infinitive, the cringing accommodation to feminists (s/he, using "their" instead of "his" after a singular pronoun like "everyone," etc.), or the semi-literate but ever popular "between him and I." The fact that people speak and write that way does not mean that they should speak or write that way. Shakespeare split no infinitives, neither did the scribes who gave us the King James Bible. We should, Mr. Gwynne advises, follow their example. (Incidentally, let us forestall the excitement of impatient readers who clamor "What about Sonnet 142?" Shakespeare there writes "Thy pity may deserve to pitied be." But that is not a true split infinitive, in which an adverb is interposed between "to" and the verb—"to boldly go"—but is rather an inversion undertaken to preserve the meter.) Gwynne's Grammar, which we have only begun to read, seems full of good things. If it is half as good as Gwynne's Latin, it will be a masterpiece—an atavistic masterpiece, perhaps, given the drift of our culture away from the virtues of orderliness, precision, logic, and precedent that Mr. Gwynne advocates, but a masterpiece nonetheless.
Mr. Gwynne is an evangelist for the classics, especially for his chosen métier, Latin. Why learn Latin? Mr. Gwynne lists nearly twenty reasons, many of which will be familiar to anyone who has ever sat through an introductory Latin class. Nearly half the words in English derive from Latin (when they have not come down to us intact); a mastery of Latin grammar helps us better understand English grammar; so much of the jargon of the law, of science and medicine, of our political and civic heritage, is instinct with Latin; Latin is the language of one of the three great world literatures (the others being classical Greek and English); etcetera.
But Mr. Gwynne goes far beyond such familiar recommendations. "What a well-designed course in Latin provides," he writes, "is a training and development of the mind and character to a degree of excellence that no other mental or physical activity can come anywhere near to bringing about." Don't believe him? Hark:
Specifically, it trains these: the ability to concentrate and focus; the use of the memory; the capacity to analyse, deduce and problem-solve; the powers of attention to detail, of diligence and perseverance, of observation, of imagination, of judgement, of taste. In fact, it trains the mind and character to the utmost extent in everything human that is valuable. It does all this as no other academic subject (other than classical Greek), or other activity of any kind at all, can come remotely close to doing.
Latin," he writes, "is, quite simply, the most utterly wonderful . . . thing." The ellipsis is in the original. Like the pedestrian abstract noun it precedes, it is occasioned by contemplation of an abundance, not a paucity, of riches. Does it sound extravagant, all this praise for learning a dead language? Just wait.
Mr. Gwynne reminds us of a few pertinent facts. For the last thousand or more years, up until about fifteen minutes ago, i.e., up until the 1960s (O devilish, shadow-casting decade!), Latin and Greek were taught much as Mr. Gwynne advocates and, what's more, until the 1850s they were virtually the only subjects that were taught in any of the leading schools in Britain. The reason for this exclusive concentration on the classics was not that our forebears were unaware of the importance of other subjects: English, say, or mathematics, or history or geography or other foreign languages. No, schools and universities slighted other subjects because, in comparison with Latin and Greek, they were easy. "Picking them up," Mr. Gwynne writes, "was something that could more appropriately be done during the school holidays and in other spare time."
Possibly, but the classics aren't practical," you say. Really? Ponder this: the heyday of classical learning in Britain, from the seventeenth through the mid-nineteenth centuries, was also the heyday of British intellectual, political, and economic supremacy. During this period, Mr. Gwynne points out,
Britain shone in every single human endeavour, academic and practical, to such an extent that, "single-handed," Britain was responsible for the Industrial Revolution and most of the scientific inventions of that period that changed the world, and, for better or for worse, actually ruled about a quarter of the world—and, what is more, all this while producing one of the greatest literatures of every kind of all time.
What do you think, merely post hoc? Or was there an element of propter, of causation, about the contingency that brought a mastery of Latin together with worldly success?
It seems that, since retiring from business, Mr. Gwynne has devoted himself to proclaiming the gospel of the Latin language. Together with his teaching partner (who is also his daughter) he visits schools and even—via the Internet—homes to exhort, inspire, illuminate, and instruct. His method is based firmly on the tried and true example of Dr. Benjamin Hall Kennedy, D.D., whose first Latin primer appeared in 1871 and whose Shorter Latin Primer was known to generations of schoolboys as "Kennedy's Shortbread Eating Primer" (you needed to be a dab hand with a pen nib to effect the transformation). "The difference in effectiveness between the traditional methods and those used by even the best schoolteachers of today is so astonishing, consistently so," Mr. Gwynne claims, that the results speak for themselves.
So what can a neophyte who gets outside the material of Gwynne's Latin hope to learn? One answer is "about as much Latin as a reasonably intelligent eleven- or twelve-year-old would have known in the days when I was at school" (ca. 1950). If that seems like small beer, he quickly adds. "Another answer is: many times more Latin than will be known, in almost all cases, by highly intelligent scholars of today who have passed all their Latin exams and are studying Classics at any of the top universities in Britain."
For those of you tempted to respond as did the travel writer Alexander Kinglake, who wished to inscribe the legend "Interesting, if true" upon the lintels of churches throughout Britain, we suggest suspending judgment until you conjure with the book and Mr. Gwynne's methods. You can start doing this today. There is a popular misconception that classicists tend to be enemies of innovation. Mr. Gwynne's commitment to the traditional method of teaching Latin (the one, he points out, that generations of students have shown actually works) may at first reinforce that misconception. But Mr. Gwynne is not against innovation. He is only against innovation that experience has shown is unproductive where it is not downright destructive. Which is where the 1960s and its legacy of ruin come in. But one need merely look at the Gwynnes' website gwynneteaching.com to appreciate their readiness to employ new technologies, when appropriate. The online videos show just how infectious, and how effective, the Gwynnes' pedagogy can be.
It was and probably still is common among classics students to look askance at the Loeb Classical Library, that huge (521-volume) library of the Greek and Roman classics brought to the world by the wealthy Harvard alumnus James Loeb. Since its inception 102 years ago, the pocket-sized Loebs, with their distinctive green (for Greek) and red (for Latin) jackets, have been a familiar fixture in school and university libraries. But because they feature an English translation en face with the original, many students regarded them as slightly infra dig. (which is not to say that most of them did not gratefully avail themselves of the trots when need arose, which, typically, was often). In years gone by, the translations one found in the Loebs were hit or miss. The more glandular passages of Horace, Martial, and many other authors were typically rendered in Italian or (if the author was writing in Greek) in Latin. Translations of other writers were comically out of date. Augustine's Confessions, for example, was rendered by the English translation of William Watts, 1631.
But for the last couple of decades, the Loeb Library has been undergoing a renaissance. There are new or revised translations of many authors, and, a month or two back, the entire library was brought online at loebclassics.com. There are other searchable classics databases, the Perseus project through Tufts University, for example, or The Packard Humanities Institute's library of Latin authors, which contains nearly the whole of Latin writing down to 200 A.D. Yet there is still something glorious about having all 500-plus Loebs online. Free trial access is available and an annual subscription for individuals is $195 for the first year, $65 for subsequent years. It's an extraordinary resource, one which we like to think the exacting Mr. Gwynne would be pleased to welcome to the world.

Latin uses participles extensively. It is essential to understand how to read the various forms, for they appear frequently in Latin literature. The participle is basically a hybrid between a verb and an adjective. As with verbs, the participle will have tense and voice. As with adjectives, the participle will have number, case, and gender and the ability to modify a noun (or even act as a substantive adjective in place of a noun). Because Latin uses participles more frequently than English does, there is a great deal of variety in the way a translator can render the Latin into English. The following is a brief review of the participle forms and their meanings.
Please take for an examle the verb edo, edere, edi, esum (to eat).
A. Present Active Participle, Stem: second principal part + -ns/-nt + third declension endings.
Exempli gratia: edens, edentis
Liberi edentes crustula sunt laeti.
The children eating the cookies are happy.
The children who eat cookies are happy.
An ablative noun + an ablative participle create a phrase, independent of the sentence, which may express cause or time. The present participle in an ablative absolute:
Crustulis edentibus, liberi sunt laeti. When eating cookies, children are happy.
B. Perfect Passive Participle, Stem: fourth principal part + first and second declension endings
Exempli gratia: esus, esa, esum
Crustula esa erant gaudium liberis.
The cookies (having been) eaten were a joy for the children.
The cookies that were eaten were a joy for the children.
The perfect passive participle in an ablative absolute:
Multis crustulis esis, liberi erant pleni.
When many cookies had been eaten, the children were full.
C. Future Active Participle, Stem: fourth principal part + -ur + first and second declension endings
Exempli gratia: esurus, esura, esurum
Liberi esuri crustula manus lavant.
The children about to eat the cookies wash their hands.
The children who are about to eat the cookies wash their hands.
The active periphrastic (also called the first periphrastic) uses the future active participle plus a form of esse.
Liberi sunt esuri. The children are about to eat.
D. Future Passive Participle, Stem: second principal part + -nd + first and second declension endings
This form, also known as the gerundive, communicates action that is a necessity or obligation (though occasionally merely a future/present reference). The participle alone:
Exempli gratia: edendus, edenda, edendum
Mater parat crustula edenda.
Mother prepares the cookies to be eaten.
The passive periphrastic (also called the second periphrastic) uses the future passive participle plus a form of esse. This construction communicates necessity or obligation. To express agency, this construction must use the dative instead of a, ab with the ablative.
Crustula liberis edenda sunt. The cookies must be eaten by the children.
Nota Bene: It is easy to get the forms of the participles mixed up when first learning them. Use these derivatives for the model verb agere to help keep them straight.
- agent (present active participle) – a person "doing something"
- actuary (future active participle) – someone who computes probabilities, things "about to" happen
- act (perfect passive participle) – a law passed, a motion made, something already "done"
- agenda (future passive participle) – "things to be done"
*This review is compiled from excerpts provided in Latin Alive Book 2. A smiliar review appears in the grammar section of the Latin Alive Reader (coming soon).
Romans Under the Yoke – an Art Study for Caesar
Caesar, quod memoria tenebat L. Cassium cōnsulem occisum exercitumque eius ab Helvetiis pulsum et sub iugum missum, concedendum non putabat
Art study is a wonderful way to bring ancient texts to life. Artists such as Gleyre were inspired by the words of Caesar and other classical authors. As they read the Latin texts, images began to take shape and were then transferred to canvas. The subject below is not an actual scene from the Gallic War, but rather the memory of a scene described by Caesar: the humiliating defeat of a Roman legion at the hands of a Helvetian Army. For Gleyre and his Swiss countrymen, it is a reminder that their ancestors were able to once humble mighty Rome.
Note where the light and shadows fall. What does this contrast highlight?
- Note the white oxen to the right of the bound soldiers. What is around their neck? What is above the soldiers? What comparison might be made here?
Where do the eyes of the Roman soldiers fall? Why might this be significant?
What is the central figure in the painting? What is the significance of this in Druid worship?
What do the behavior of the other figures around this central element seem to suggest? Relate this back to the juxtaposition of the bound soldiers and the yoked cattle.
Latin Alive Series – Book 3 now available!
Latin Alive Book 3 is now available! This text completes the grammar series with the study of the subjunctive mood and a fabulous unit on Latin poetry. All of the reading are unadapted original texts. We are very delighted by the list of readings that have come together for this book.
I am also thrilled to announce that we have also completed writing on a reader that will follow this grammar series. The reader is now in editing and graphic design, but coming in 2014 we will be pleased to share . . .
Latin Alive Reader: Literature from Cicero to Newton
This book will serve as an excellent reading course for students of Latin Alive or any other full Latin grammar course. You may liken this to a humanities course in Latin. Students will have the opportunity to read a very wide variety of literary styles and genre from the late republic through the dawn of the modern age.

Latin's Effective History
We have been blessed to welcome a number of historical contributors to the Latin Alive series. These contributors come from several universities across the United States, each one sharing something from his own expertise and love of ancient history. These vignettes appear in the unit reading chapters along side a piece of Latin literature. Below is a small sample taken from the introduction to Latin Alive Book 4, generously provided by Dr. Nodes of Baylor University. Latin Alive Book 4 features a wide variety of readings from the time of Cicero to Newton's Principia. Dr. Nodes writes about the incredible influence Latin Literature had on generations far beyond the fall of Rome.
The post-classical or 'medieval' Latin language in use from A.D. 400 to 1400 is still Latin, and it conforms in broad terms to the same principles of use as the Latin of Cicero and Vergil. What's different is the freer use of the language in terms of the grammar, vocabulary, and regional variations, and the subject matter expressed. It was common for writers of every part of that long period to speak disparagingly of the classical authors at one time, and yet use their works and even praise them at another time. The monk and scholar, Alcuin of York, for example, is said to have kept an elder monk company as they kept vigil one night. At dawn, when the bells sounded morning prayers, the old monk continued to sleep, and immediately he was set upon by demons, who beat him terribly. The boy Alcuin later prayed, "Lord Jesus, enable me to keep the vigils, and if I will love Vergil more than the Psalms, let me be beaten too!"
But Alcuin was nothing less than a monument of classical learning. He is said to have died still reciting Vergil! How can this be? Scholars have tried to show that the two behaviors are not incompatible, if one remembers that the medievals held classical learning as a means to the goal of spiritual wisdom, and not the goal itself. They wisely could not fail to recognize the greatness of their classical Latin predecessors as an aid to gaining clarity and depth of thought and expression, and a good measure of wisdom.
- from "Latin's Effective History" by Daniel Nodes (Latin Alive, Book 4)

College graduate's number one complaint is being turned down for a job because their experience working is next to none. It doesn't have to be, because though, you may not have had that seasonal retail job, babysitting or even dog sitting, seriously think about advancing your volunteer opportunities on your resume early and speak out with what you have accomplished volunteering during that next interview.
Graduates have no idea that experience running, let's say, a church campaign, a political event or even college committee opportunities can help open the door to your next job. If you are in high school or college, start thinking now what you can do by taking little steps to building that dream career you want. Those that what to become a professional musician, should be doing all they can to perform in public. Those that write, should be publishing in every avenue available even if it is just a school newsletter.
The First Congregational United Church of Christ in Downers Grove offers a live streaming of all Sunday services at 11 am on Sunday. The show is taped also and available online for a week following the service and until the next service is presented.
The UCCBroadcast Ministry provides a unique way of reaching out to home bound members who cannot attend church and visitors who would like to learn about the churches message. Pastor Scott Oberle and Pastor Rix Thorsell offer guidance to anyone no matter where they are in their spiritual journey. The Guided Path and the Chancel Choir, directed by Jim Molina, has been an integral part of the worship service that will play anything from traditional Christian hymns to Gospel music accompanied by professional musicians.
The UCC broadcast ministry will be opening its doors to youth group volunteers; building knowledge and participation in managing the technical process of worship Internet streaming. Also, the idea will be suggested for a Youth Ministry Show created by them for younger viewers.
This will give them the opportunity to present news and views that help shape their lives. And for those interested in broadcast media, another committed pursuit on their resume.
Employers are more excited about those that volunteer their time consistently without the prospects of a pay check. It truly defines the character of a winning candidate.
Join First Congregational to find out more about the variety of activities available that may help you become more marketable than you ever thought possible.

A guide is a person who leads anyone through unknown or unmapped country. This includes a guide of the real world (such as someone who conducts travellers and tourists through a place of interest), as well as a person who leads someone to more abstract places (such as to knowledge or wisdom).
There are many variants of guides in this context, and guides are often employed in any aspect of travel or adventure, or wherever there is an advantage to the client in terms of knowledge provided in improving the overall travel experience or making the client feel more safe due to the presumed expertise of the guide.
These days guides will normally possess an area and field-specific qualification usually issued and/or recognised by the appropriate Guide's Association or licensing authority. However this is not always the case, and it is advisable for travellers paying a premium to go on an organised tour or journey because they think this will mean they will have a better experience to check the guide's qualifications beforehand.
Explorers in the past venturing into territory unknown by their own people invariably hired guides. American West explorers Lewis and Clark hired a Shoshone Indian woman Sacagawea, and Wilfred Thesiger hired guides in the deserts that he ventured into, such as Kuri on his journey to the Tibesti Mountains in 1938.
Aside from knowing the way or the area geographically, modern guides are usually hired to act as interpreters for those travellers who do not speak the local language and provide cultural, historical or other information on the area visited. Travel companies organising tours of large groups often have a guide or tour leader accompany the group. They might also be trained in First Aid and have other skills that reduce the risk for the tour operator to conduct these tours or the travel agency selling them.
Here are some examples of guide professions:

I have a linux database(MySQL) server(Dell 2950) with a 6-disk RAID 10. The default IO scheduler on it is CFQ. However, from what I have read and heard, there is no need for a scheduler like CFQ when reordering/scheduling is also done by underlying RAID controller; on the contrary since it does not account underlying RAID configuration into account performance may actually degrade with CFQ. The primary concern is to reduce CPU usage and improve throughput. Also, I have seen recommendations of using noop/deadline IO scheduler for databases primarily because of the nature of their R/W access.
So, the question is whether noop or deadline scheduler should be used instead of CFQ in these circumstances.

- Like the Lego booth, the MegaBloks booth was cordoned off and by appointment only. I couldn't bring myself to go in there. They did have a requisite statue made of MegaBloks out by the entrance. A big dragon. All the bricks looked cheap as usual. But even worse, they did some airbrush painting on the sculpture to give it some flair. Ugh.
- I saw the NanoBricks from Japan. (I'd seen them before at BrickCon.) I don't know why they don't elicit the same reaction as the MegaBloks do. They're small and cute and adorable I guess. Notice the tiniest Taj Mahal ever. I took a shot of some loose brick so you could see what the bottoms look like.
- I couldn't find the Hasbro booth to see their new Lego competitor. I don't have some sort of religious loyalty to Lego. I am loyal because they put out great products. MegaBloks puts out garbage. Just the feel and look of the raw brick is crap. But after I saw this picture of one of the new KRE-O sets I was half bummed, half relieved at how bad it looks up close. Bummed because I think competition is good, and KRE-O isn't in the same league as Lego from these early pics. Relieved as if it was good, I'd have to pick sides in the religious war that would ensue.
- OK. Enough about the wannabe competitors… onto the good stuff. Saw a cool Atlantis set. Lots of gold pieces as well as those striated column pieces from Diagon Alley. Rock!
- Nice splitting/sliding action on the Ninjago building.
- I was pleasantly surprised by the Alien Conquest theme. The nod to the vintage blue Space vehicles was cute. The boxes look gorgeous though the actual colors on the models aren't as exciting. The sound and light bricks are way cool. SOUND BRICK!!!! (Can I upload my own MP3 into it???) But best of all were the tentacle bricks under the flying saucer. One piece made from one mold where half the piece was regular ABS Lego plastic, and the other half was this rubbery stuff that held onto the minifig as the beam of light sucked him in to no doubt receive his Lego anal probing. Ouch!
- I'm not that into the Lego board games though they seem fine and all. I took particular notice of Lego champions because of the healthy number of pink and purple 2×4 bricks. 😉
- The Pirates of the Caribbean sets looked fantastic of course. Love those mermaids. And another light brick. Some of the sets feel like they could sit comfortably with the Medieval Market Village set.
- As for Star Wars… I don't mean to be blasphemous, but I really feel like they're scraping the bottom of the barrel. Some of these ships… where are they from? Some of the novels? Knights of the Old Republic? Whatever. They did have the new Millenium Falcon. It does have an interior including some recognizable spots. But it could have used even more detail. What the hell do I know. The PR lady said it still sells like a motherfucker. (I may be paraphrasing… I don't remember exactly.)
- The collectible minifigures weren't there except for their cases. No news here. (BTW, the box for series 5 is teal, not blue despite what my shitty iPhone camera thinks.
A Cooperman Family ChanukahDecember 1st, 2012
Typically we don't do a "holiday" card as such. And frankly, Chanukah is a third tier holiday and gets undue attention because it comes near Christmas every year. That said, We have the whole family appearing in a reproduction of our actual living room (complete with oriental rug, fireplace, etc.) where we will be lighting candles this year. Some details include presents, our three cats, all five family members, the menorah, the lit shamash (the candle you light the other candles with), soufganiot (jelly donuts – a holiday tradition), and a lit fire (thank you light brick). Enjoy!
My keynote from Brickcon 2011October 18th, 2011
I was fortunate enough to be invited back to Brickcon 2011 to give the keynote. The video of the talk was just posted on YouTube. Here it is (hopefully) for your enjoyment.
The Destruction of Tea at Boston HarborOctober 18th, 2011
This is literally one of my own creations or rather that of me and my 8 year old daughter. We based our Boston Tea Party scene on the 1846 Lithograph by Nathaniel Currier. We built it for Brickcon.
Check out all the details here.
How a father-son Lego project turned into an app (that's shipping in the app store today).September 30th, 2011
Every year at the beginning of October Seattle sees the advent of one of the biggest Lego conventions in the country. And each year lego hobbyists (like me) start working months in advance on their Lego creations to display at the convention. Enormous 7 foot spaceships with fully detailed interiors, moon monorail layouts, entire cities, castles, sculptures and more fill every bit of surface area. This year I decided that my Lego creations would be collaborations with each of my three children. My 10-year-old son Sivan and I decided to build a miniature Lego arcade cabinet. But what to do for the actual game? Instead of building a screen out of Lego we decided to use an iPad as the arcade monitor. And on that iPad we would have a game. A game made entirely of Lego. Not just for display, but actually playable. And then we decided that the game would be good enough to actually put up for sale in the app store. And thus Lila the Ladybug was born.
The characters on the top of the cabinet are the actual Lego we scanned in to make the characters in the game.
Clearly this was an insane idea, but once we started there was no stopping us. We started with the game. It was originally going to be Frogger, but with a ladybug. Cause… well… ladybugs are cute. But that turned out sucky. So we shifted gears and created something a touch more original. Sort of a Centipede/Kaboom combo starring our adorable ladybug… Lila. And while most ladybugs do eat aphids, some are veggie eating leaves and mushrooms and avoiding raindrops that can derail them from their munching progress. The game is targeted at little kids which is only fitting since a 10 year old did a bunch of the programming, designing, and building.
Lila the Ladybug is available for iPad and iPhone today in the App Store. Sorry, the Lego Lila arcade cabinet is not included.
In case you were wondering… my collaboration with my 8 year-old daughter Bella was a reproduction of Nathaniel Currier's 1846 lithograph of the Boston Tea Party. And my 5 year-old daughter Rakefet and I built a modular princess castle based on the Jonathan Coulton Song, The Princess Who Saved Herself. Maybe next year we'll do some games based on those.
Brickcon Keynote FlashbackSeptember 29th, 2011
Hey all… I was told that I should post my talk at last year's Brickcon. So here it is.
If you enjoyed that, Wayne was kind enough to invite me back to give the keynote speech tomorrow (Friday) night at 7:30. According to Wayne I'll be talking about building a community.
BrickPOP attends ToyFair – Pictures of New Lego SetsFebruary 15th, 2011
I think ToyFair is a little like getting too much of anything good. After awhile it just all turns to shit. No… not another aisle of puzzles. Whatever, you don't care about that. Here on BrickPOP it's all about the Lego. So let's get to it. I headed over to the Lego booth and wrangled an appointment as a member of the media. It was nice that the Lego folks have decided that bloggers count. Yay. Of course when I got there for my appointment the lady at the front desk told me I didn't have one and tried to shoo me away. But eventually she let me in anyway. Rachel from the Lego PR agency was a sweetheart, informed, and unhurried even though it was the end of the day and everyone was tired.
I know pictures are circulating already so i'm not telling you much you haven't heard. Here are the highlights that made an impression on me (corresponding pictures are below in the gallery):
Most importantly however is the picture that I couldn't take. the Cars 2 Lego. This is what I'm saving up for. Mainly because of the colors. There are two sets with small models of all the Cars characters. In terms of scale, the cars themselves aren't much bigger than Hot Wheels. Pretty small. But the colors were fantastic. Sand green and some other goodness. But the best was what looked like two new colors to me. One looked like Magenta on from the BrickWiki color chart. But the other was a sort of 1950's kitchen appliance sky blue. The closest thing I saw on the color chat was Bright Light Blue but that didn't do it justice. The last image in the gallery below (of the chair) is the closest approximation I can find (after investing 12 seconds in Google image search. I have a decent memory for color so I think this is pretty close.
Anyway, all in all a fun time checking out the new Lego goodness.
A word to the competition. I have no doubt you can take small bites out of Lego's market share at the low end with pricey licenses, lower prices, lots of marketing, and sustained effort. But I believe the AFOLs are influential. And while there's a degree of religiousness about them, the ones that I respect ultimately care about quality and creativity. To be fair to Hasbro, I haven't seen KRE-O up close. But if the pictures that they published are any indication, you're not even close on quality. And as for creativity, even the Lego PR lady was laughing that your Transformers don't actually fucking transform. WTF!?!? (Again, I think I may be paraphrasing.)
Series 3 Minifig Bingeing RevisitedJanuary 30th, 2011
So back on November 16th 2010 we here at Brickpop lucked into a treasure trove of Series 3 minifigs before basically anyone else on the planet. We bought a huge number of them cause we wanted them and are lucky enough that we had the Lego budget. While many AFOLs understood that we were just excited and sharing our good fortune, there was a vocal group that had an unbelievable number of shitty (and sometimes violent) things to say about us. There were complaints that we were showing off (we thought we were sharing, but ok). Complaints that we were going to sell them for a profit (not true). Complaints that I'm fat (I wouldn't claim to be skinny). But mostly the complaints came down to us being 'piggy'. Why couldn't we leave minifigs for everyone else???
It's over two months later and as best I can tell, anybody who wants can still get as many series 3 figs as they want. The Seattle Lego store still has them in stock (with unopened cases in the back of the store), and you can still get them online at shop.lego.com.
I'm sure the haters will always find a reason to hate, but I guess what I'm asking folks is this… can we establish now that TLG has decided to make enough figs so everyone can get as many as they want (no matter how many I decide to buy)? I'll supply my answer to this question… yes.
So, attention haters: when I pig out on series 4 figs, you can still call me fat. But I believe you won't be able to claim that there won't be enough for you.
The Future of Lego Playsets and DisplaysJanuary 11th, 2011
Now imagine that as you build that MOC for the next BrickCon or other event, you've got to not only build the models, but also do all the programming to bring it to life and make it interactive. You're gonna need to quit your job.
And we're off… Series 4 Minifigs PicsDecember 5th, 2010
Thanks to the folks at superspeelgoed we can start the salivating.
All the discussions about how many figs are the right number, what behavior is appropriate, should pretty much dissolve at this array of adorableness.
I have only one word to say. MOHAWK.
Lego Pirates of The Caribbean Minifigures – First PicNovember 30th, 2010
Courtesy of the kind folks at Hooked Gamers, we have this blurry shot of a slew of POTC figs.
I don't see Davy Jones. I find that worrisome. Hmmm…
And yes, I know there was a pic before this, but that wasn't of minifigures… it was of minifig.
UPDATE: As the commenters have pointed out. I'm a dumbass, and these are probably some random crap. My excitement got the best of me. Thank you commenters.

Baker had the last shot to try and end it, when Shea Shoemaker put up a jumper as time ran out and the game went into OT.
In overtime, Garza scored first for the Wildcats with two more free-throws to give Baker the 68-66 lead, but Baker couldn't hang on from there and fell in its final non-conference game.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
Red-flowering currant (family: Grossulariaceae) produces numerous small flowering spurs on multiple thornless stems. It grows at a moderate rate up to 10 ft. and develops an upright to spreading form. Deciduous, alternate leaves are 1-3 in. and rounded with 3-5 shallow lobes and deep veins lending a wrinkled appearance. They are green above and dull green beneath due to fine hairs and turn yellow to reddish in mid to late summer. Leaves of some plants are pungent when crushed. Numerous 2-6 in. long, nodding clusters of5-25 flowers appear in March to June. The flowers are composed of pink to deep red (rarely white) tubular fused sepals and small protruding red or white flower petals. Blue-black berries smaller than 0.5 in. have a thin white waxy coating, hold about 20 seeds each, and mature in early to mid summer. Thin orange or red tinted bark turns gray-brown and peels from older stems.

Young Jeezy was arrested on Sunday after police found an assault rifle on his tour bus. The search warrant was obtained after a concert attendee was fatally shot during the Wiz Kalifa/Young Jeezy Under The Influence tour performance in Mountain View, California and resulted in officers finding the illegal weapon believed to belong to the rapper. According to the Los Angeles Times on Monday, many members of Jeezy's group were arrested.
Young Jeezy, whose real name is Jay Jenkins, is currently on tour with Wiz Kalifa and other hip hop artists with the Under The Influence tour. After the search on Young Jeezy's tour bus, the rapper was one of six arrests made. None of those arrested are suspects in the shooting death that took place as the Shoreline Amphitheater show was ending.
Eric Johnson, a 38-year old Orinda man, was fatally shot during the Mountain View show leading to the search warrant. After the shooting occurred on Friday, Wiz Kalifa and concert promoter Live Nation chose to cancel the show for the following night in Chula Vista.
The show moved on to Irvine for a Sunday performance but Young Jeezy was not there. Turns out he is being held on $1 million bail. He has not yet posted bail and remains in custody. The other five individuals arrested were identified as Alexa Beason, William Paul Gilmore, David Kuniansky-Altman, Kena Jermaine Marshall, and Peter Arthur Maynard. All five were said to be working for the tour and all are suspected of possessing an assault weapon.

Great shoot. I loved the out takes too. Coco is sexy (and a charmer) and I really enjoyed seeing the back and forth between tomcat and coco. My favorite site thing about this site is the genuine reactions of the models and seeing them joke around with TC in post-coital bliss only adds to the effect.

I was so impressed with the quality of the products being shown at Decorex in London last week and one thing that stood out for me the most was how clean and tailored the design lines were without being sterile or lacking in richness. Case in point was the variety of patterns I saw: from carpets and wallcoverings to tabletop items and furniture. I've created a slideshow of a few of my favorite patterned products but you can see plenty more on the Decorex site by clicking here. Veronika Miller of Modenus also spotted a great patterned find by Surfaceview. See the post here and check out more of her explorations of Decorex on her blog while you're there. Happy design roaming everyone!

VENTURA, Calif.—It stretches from roughly Topanga Canyon Boulevard on the southeast to where Route 150 meets the Pacific Coast Highway on the northwest, and now this 1845 square mile patch of land has become the latest California community to officially become unfriendly to the adult entertainment industry. In other words, the Ventura County Board of Supervisors has today unanimously passed the "mandatory condom" ordinance introduced in late April by County Supervisor Linda Parks (R-District 2). The ordinance will take effect immediately.
Parks allegedly sponsored the ordinance, whose text was unavailable at press time, after she had been contacted by residents of Newbury Park who complained that they could "hear and see the sex scenes" being shot at a home in the unincorporated neighborhood of Ventu Park.
The County Board of Supervisors is not the first Ventura County body to have passed a "mandatory condom" ordinance (though how much more than condoms are required will depend on the text of the ordinance). The city of Simi Valley recently passed an ordinance similar to the one adopted by the City of Los Angeles late last year, but with the added requirements that an on-site health care professional monitor the condom use, and that the producer submit a copy of the finished production to the Simi Valley Police Department to confirm compliance. Thousand Oaks, while lacking a specific ordinance related to adult filming, nonetheless has a requirement that any production company planning to shoot in the city obtain an agreement to the shoot from 90 percent of neighbors within 200 feet of the filming site. And finally, the city of Camarillo in late March enacted a 45-day moratorium on any adult filming in the city—a moratorium that is up for extension within the next few days.
Of course, it's not surprising that there's been so much anti-adult sentiment in the county. Of Ventura County's roughly 800,000 residents, 49.3 percent of its registered voters were Republicans according to the 2010 census, though the county did marginally favor Barack Obama in the 2008 and 2012 elections.
Unknown is whether AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which successfully petitioned both the city and county of Los Angeles to enact "barrier protection" ordinances, had had any contact either with Parks to write the just-enacted ordinance and/or with other supervisors to lobby in favor of its passage.

We used to think that just having time to lie on the beach at all was the greatest seaside luxury, but our worlds changed when we found Towelmate Luxury Oversized Beach Towels ($45). They're large enough to cover any beach chair, so we won't have to stick to sunscreen-coated plastic slats anymore. They're made of extremely soft cotton velour, with one side designated for beach and one for body, so you can easily keep sand off your skin. And they each have a removable pillow and hidden waterproof zippered pockets to hold your phone, keys, and other beach necessities.

I looked through the LeJOS API and I noticed that for MCL Localization, path finding and mapping all use LineMap. However, there is no routine to convert robot's sensor reading into lines. Does that mean if I wants to use those functionalities, I need to manually create a map (instead of generate automatically by the robot)?
Does LeJOS support any functionality for converting sensor readings into line segments?
I am asking because I plan to work on a Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) project for my class.
Thank you,

Google Wallet payment service announced, Nexus S 4G owners will use it first
It was no secret that Google had planned the launch of an NFC-based mobile payment system for today. And, well, here it is: Google Wallet (yes, that's the service's name) is now official.
The service (accessed via a free Android application) "stores virtual versions of your existing plastic cards on your phone", thus allowing you to tap your phone to pay for goods "wherever MasterCard PayPass is accepted."
Google Wallet is currently in testing and it should be released "soon" – Google hasn't mentioned just how soon. It did indicate that the service will be out in the US, with potential expansion in other countries.
At launch, customers will only be able to use Citi MasterCard cards and the Google Prepaid Card. Sprint's Nexus S 4G will be the only supported handset for the beginning, but more devices will be added later on. Apparently, Google Wallet will work on any phone as long as it has an NFC chip – not just on Android phones.
Google is really excited about the new service, implying it's "the next big shift" in the way people pay. Of course, time will be the judge of that. Let's wait to see this launched, used and liked by people, and then we'll talk. Much more info on Google Wallet can be found here at Google.

A 2+1D topological field theory (topologically ordered states), implies that the topological ground state degeneracy (GSD) on $T^2$ torus (2D manifold without boundary). For example a level k U(1) Chern-Simons theory implies a GSD$=k$.
If we put the topological field theory on a 2D manifold with 1D boundary, we expect 1+1D gapless edge states; and there are central charges $c$, which roughly measures the degree of freedom of the gapless edge states.
My question is: are there some explicit formula relates: topological ground state degeneracy GSD and central charges c?
here $\dots$ are other possible data. RHS are the desired functions of my questions. It will be better to take some examples of non-Abelian topological field theory (topologically ordered states) to test its formula's validity.

On February 4th, 8 month old Matthew Eappen was rushed to the hospital and diagnosed with a fractured skull and subdural hematoma. He fell into a coma, and died on February 9th.
The doctor who examined Matthew observed an unexplained fractured wrist, possibly from a month or so earlier.
On top of the head injuries, the baby had hemorrhaging in the eyes, both signs of shaken-baby syndrome.
Louise Woodward, the British Au Pair who had been caring for him at the time, and brought him in, was questioned by the police.
She stated that she had popped the baby onto the bed. Her lawyer clarified that popped meant put, or placed in Britain, not the American definition, suggesting violence. The police claimed she had said she dropped him onto the bed.. She also admitted to dropping him on the floor at one point and was possibly " a little rough" during that time.
She was charged with second-degree murder.
At the trial, which began on June 10th, 1997, the prosecution put on eight doctors involved in his care at the hospital, and a child abuse expert who claimed that Matthew had died from violent shaking, during which his head hit against a hard surface.
Defense attorneys countered with the lack of neck injuries that should have existed, had he been shaken. They also brought their expert, who testified that the injuries could have occurred up to 3 weeks prior to the hospital stay. This testimony gave weight to the defense's theory that the parents, Sunil and Deborah Eappen, could have had something to do with the injuries. He testified that the baby had old wrist injuries, that could were possibly caused before Woodward was hired.
Woodward herself testified that she had never noticed any injuries to Matthew, until the night she brought him to the hospital
The police who had originally taken her statement testified to the rough handling she had admitted to, as well as her statement that she had dropped him.
Though juries are given the option of murder, manslaughter or not guilty, defense attorney Barry Scheck insisted that manslaughter not be given as an option. He demanded she be convicted on the charge against her, or sent home.
After 26 hours, on October 30th, 1997, the jury found her guilty. At the age of 18, she faced 15 years to life in prison.
In November, the judge who had presided over the trial, Hiller Zobel, reduced the charge to involuntary manslaughter.
He stated, "the circumstances in which the defendant acted were characterized by confusion, inexperience, frustration, immaturity and some anger, but not malice in the legal sense supporting a conviction for second-degree murder".
Her sentence was reduced to 279 days of time served, and she was released, promptly heading home to Britain.
Once home, Louise Woodward earned her law degree, but dropped out of her training to teach ballroom and Latin dance.
In 2007, the prosecutors child abuse expert, Dr. Patrick Barnes, changed his opinion. He stated that the injuries to baby Matthew could have been older.
In a paper he wrote, "The science we have today could, in fact, have exonerated Louise. There is certainly, in retrospect, reasonable doubt."

A Listeria outbreak has struck certain regions of the U.S. this week, and with 1 confirmed death and at least 7 others sickened by the bacteria, it is thought that tainted cheese is to blame. U.S. health officials are still trying to determine specifics about the outbreak, but it is believed that the cases stem from cheese originally made in Delaware and then later sold in the state of Maryland. UPI News reveals this Friday, Feb. 21, 2014, that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is investigating the sickness scare that has afflicted a minimum of three newborn babies as well.
Roos Foods products are believed to be the culprit food source behind the Listeria outbreak hitting California and Maryland recently. Tainted cheese sold in a still undisclosed grocery chain was likely infected with the dangerous bacteria before being offered to unsuspecting customers in Maryland. Just a single individual outside of the state was affected — a victim from California, the only instance where 1 death resulted — while the 7 others (a few of them babies) were struck ill.
According to an official report from the CDC, the origins of this contained but critical outbreak is likely from Caujada en Terron, a very soft cheese that is prepped by Roos Foods, located in Kenton, Delaware. In addition to the cheese being taken off shelves, the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has also since warned the public not to purchase other Roos Foods products at this time until the health situation has been resolved.
Listeria is not commonly fatal, but as seen in the 1 tragic death in California this week, more serious cases can be life-threatening. The infection Listeria is ultimately spread by a food-borne bacterium scientifically called Listeria monocytogenes. It often leads to sever diarrhea and fever, and poses a particular threat to the elderly, young children and babies, and pregnant women.
At this time, the CDC hopes that with the tainted cheese now gone from Maryland and Delaware shelves — the California victim's death is still being examined by health authorities — the Listeria outbreak is contained and will diminish shortly. Two farmers from Colorado just back in 2011 were blamed for a fatal outbreak of the bacteria infection that killed a total of 33 people.

Ill Bill is known for that hardcore rap shit but his latest album, The Grimy Awards, was laced with the emotion connected to the loss of his late uncle. This number, When I Die, is a letter to said uncle and this version of the album was left off the album.
When I Die is spare and simple with a basic boom-bap drum and angelic atmospherics that allow Bill to open up with an exasperated despair and raw emotion that conveys how much death has affected him. The electric guitars and the haunting footsteps close the song out and give that gates-of-heaven/final ride feel.
You don't have to be hardcore all the time and tracks like this are good to show you the three dimensions of a man. Ill Bill delivers without the sappy crybaby shit. Just how he should. The original version. When I Die. Ill Bill don't want to go to hell. No matter how hard he rhymes. Word to Mr. Wallace.
