Critical Essays
Naipaul, Shiva
Shiva Naipaul 1945–
Trinidadian novelist and nonfiction writer.
Naipaul once described his life as "defined by three poles that don't meet." A Hindu of Indian descent, he was born and raised in the West Indies island nation of Trinidad and settled in England at the age of nineteen. The central concerns of his works are the social and political conditions in Third World countries. Naipaul portrays "a world where feeling has gone dead from despair and helplessness," according to Peter Levi. Problems of individual and cultural identity are recurrent themes in Naipaul's novels. Critics note many similarities between Shiva Naipaul's thematic concerns and attitudes and those of his brother, the novelist V. S. Naipaul.
Naipaul's first two novels, Fireflies (1970) and The Chip-Chip Gatherers (1973), are family sagas set in Trinidad, and each explores a society in transition. The old order is represented in Fireflies by the declining Khoja dynasty, while the new is represented in The Chip-Chip Gatherers by the Ramsarans, a poor family trying to break into the middle class. Naipaul ironically presents the failings of both elements of society, especially in the latter novel.
After the publication of The Chip-Chip Gatherers, Naipaul took a ten-year break from writing fiction, during which he traveled and wrote two nonfiction books. North of South (1978) is a combination travelogue and political essay focusing on race relations in Kenya, Tanzania, and Zambia. Black and White (1980), an interpretive study of the mass suicide of members of the Reverend Jim Jones's People's Temple in Guyana in 1978, explores the social and political conditions which promoted the tragic event.
Naipaul said in an interview that he regards his fiction and nonfiction as one body of work because his nonfiction research has yielded experiences and information that he has developed in his novels. His recent novel, A Hot Country (1983), is evidence of this, for it is set in the fictional, politically volatile country of Cuyama, a thinly disguised version of Guyana.

Auberon Waugh
[Fireflies] is a masterpiece. It's a long book … and a reviewer's first inclination, when confronted with a long book, is to see what he can safely skip. It must say something for Mr Naipaul's power that despite a firm determination to skip whole pages and even whole chapters at a time, I was unable to miss a page of his absorbing, inconsequential narrative.
The story … centres around the disintegration of one family in Trinidad's upper-class Indian community. As subjects go, this might not seem to be one which automatically commands a wide readership. Those who approach novel-reading as a vehicle for self-improvement might be prepared to accept some (passionately) involved, committed, compassionate, etc. treatise on the problems of Trinidad's Indians, or even a biting satire on Trinidad's upper class, but a poignant, uncommitted account of what it is to be a conservative, upper-class Trini-dadian Hindu in our present deplorable age is more than most people are prepared to take even in World Conservation Year. I can only report that the book is a delight and a miracle of enjoyment….Mr Naipaul's own attitude to the society he describes is ambivalent. He satirises its absurdities with conventional rigour but he is also keenly alive to the tragedy of its destruction, and it is this quality which makes his book so exceptional. For an English reader, and most especially, perhaps, for an English conservative, the poignancy is...

[Shiva Naipaul] writes with the ironist's detachment, expertly and unobtrusively observing those details that mark his characters' idiosyncrasies, tracing through them the warp and woof of a social fabric that becomes increasingly frayed….
The world Naipaul paints [in Fireflies is] … drab, ugly, sad. But throughout the work he allows, almost absentmindedly and despite himself, gleams of humor, beauty, and spirit to shine through. We remember these, along with the vivid realizations of the violent and grotesque.
There are occasional clichés of language and implausibilities of character in Fireflies. These, however, are minor flaws. What bothers me more is a quality of style that—in common with Mrs. Lutchman's personality—is stable, thorough, emotionally limited. Not that it's boring: the details of dialogue and description are consistently sharp and well selected. But for a panoramic human comedy it seems to me to lack lightness. The pall of doom and decay hangs over nearly everything. Although Mr. and Mrs. Khoja are comic figures, behind his muddling and pomposity, behind her fussiness, the heavily stupid and grimly neurotic lurk so close that we seldom can laugh freely. Mrs. Lutchman is the only character who demonstrates a sense of humor, and she very rarely. The closest the others come is a sort of bitter sarcasm.
Readers who are primarily concerned with current experiments...

The reader of Fireflies, a novel as alive with a keen (and more compassionate) awareness of the pathos and absurdity of Trinidad Indian life as V. S. Naipaul's early works, may doubt the sincerity of Shiva Naipaul's disillusion with his subject matter. Yet it is an amorphous society he depicts, fundamentally materialistic, bogus on its spiritual side, as unpromising to the sensitive artist as the English society of Dickens' time; but it falls short of that society, in Mr Naipaul's presentation, in lacking centres of moral growth. No such centre is provided by the Hindu Khoja family which, weakly propped by tradition, is shown crumbling in an insecure atmosphere of selfishness and opportunism. The jungle laws of competition regulate everyone's actions. Everyone's, that is, except Mr Naipaul's triumphant creation, the simple and simple-minded Mrs Lutchman…. [She] endures in the midst of decay, salvaging what she can in the name of a stability which is its own justification…. To have concentrated for over 400 pages upon so barren a life without forfeiting interest and sympathy is, especially when seen against the love agonies of our customary novelistic diet, a uniquely admirable achievement. It is sustained in a Wellsian manner in Part I by scenes of bitter-sweet comedy centring upon Ram's confrontations with photography, gardening and his Morris Minor, and throughout by dramatic set pieces involving the "clan", such as the Khoja...

It would be polite but ridiculous to talk about Shiva Naipaul as if he had leapt, full-armed and sui generis, into a literary world miraculously swept of all footprints of his famous brother V. S…. The relationship between the two is fraternal in much the same sense as that between Chekhov and Gorky. Like Chekhov, the elder Naipaul works from a fastidious, ironic private sensibility to humane public conclusions: because people behave badly, the world needs changing. The younger, more sweeping and less fastidious, starts where his brother ends: because the world needs changing, people behave badly. Bred within the old imperial culture, V. S. Naipaul sees its failure as one of individual wills, brains, imaginations. For his brother, born in 1945, it is the culture that blights the brains and wills. Like Gorky, he's fascinated by the perverse energies of primitive capitalism, the ferocious battling for a better life which, re-channelled, could transform society. In its raw appetite, depressing to his brother, he finds back-handed hope. For its casualties, pitiful and exasperating to the elder Naipaul in their self-delusion, he has only pity.
An image for their striving gives [The Chip-Chip Gatherers] its title. Chip-Chip are tiny shellfish which bed themselves just below the tide-line of Trinidad's Atlantic beaches…. Only in an utterly impoverished society, Naipaul implies, could they be a delicacy.

Martin Amis
In The Pleasures of Exile George Lamming scolded V. S. Naipaul, as he no doubt would his younger brother Shiva, for taking too soft a line on Trinidadian social conditions, for being smug when he ought to be angry, for writing 'castrated satire'…. What the Naipauls write is irony, not satire, and irony is by definition non-militant…. Caribbean social conditions have for them, qua novelists, an imaginative significance only.
It is true that a primitive society offers a Hobson's choice of styles to its authors: tantrumese, noble-savagery, or a combination of irony and pathos. But like all limitations this brings special liberties. Irony and pathos are essentially downward-looking viewpoints, so a society of grotesques, fools, snobs, show-offs, martinets and ingenues who think and talk in illiterate clichés has obvious perks for a writer with as delicate a touch as Shiva Naipaul…. Although Mr Naipaul must, so to speak, keep his distance, this doesn't cut off sympathy but creates an undertow of restrained emotion…. The compassion is there in the sheer quality of the writing and never has to become explicit….
[The Chip-Chip Gatherers, like Fireflies], is predominantly concerned with one question about Trinidadian life: what happens when a backward people starts to educate itself? The most imaginatively appealing answer is that the old 'atavistic' instincts are not transcended, merely...

Roland Oliver
In 1976 Shiva Naipaul spent 20 weeks in Kenya and Tanzania, concluding with a brief dash down the Great North Road to Zambia in the company of a party of trekking hippies. He does not seem to have been well prepared for his journey nor to have met anyone of much consequence while he was there. The story [told in North of South] is mostly one of chance conversations in aeroplanes, buses, taxis, customs posts and, above all, hotel bars. All this is told with a great deal of novelist's sparkle, a power of vivid description and of characterisation through reported dialogue, which will not endear Mr Naipaul to his many acquaintances when his book comes into their hands….
On the whole, Mr Naipaul's book is more informative about touts and tourists, pimps and prostitutes, than about the national and international politics of the East African countries. He makes it quite clear that he has no admiration for Uhuru, whether capitalist-style in Kenya or socialist-style in Tanzania, but the evidence for both is disappointingly thin. So far as Tanzania is concerned, one must be a little sympathetic about the real difficulties placed in the way of would-be observers and the extreme reluctance of ordinary people to hold any converse with strangers….
Kenya, however, is another matter. There is freedom of travel. There is, as Mr. Naipaul's stories show, considerable freedom of speech. He could, and should, have looked...

"The African soul is a blank slate on which anything can be written, onto which any fantasy can be transposed," writes Shiva Naipaul halfway through his narrative of travels in East Africa. The quotation is out of context…. But the dictum—of Africa as a repository for the foreigner's fantasies—goes a long way toward explaining the peculiar deficiencies of his own book.
"North of South," which recounts Mr. Naipaul's peregrinations through Kenya, Tanzania and Zambia, is in the genre of travelogue cum essay. When the form succeeds, as it does, say, with a writer such as Paul Theroux, it is an effective device for larger statement. The voyager's day-to-day experiences are transformed into insights, theories, and finally, complete systems for generalization. When it fails or only partially succeeds, it degenerates into a string of observations, some interesting, some not so interesting, but on the whole leading nowhere.
The book is a collection of hapless encounters—with rapacious immigration officials, reckless taxi drivers, street hustlers, ideological robots and racist expatriates—strung together by the author's sardonic, often bilious observations. It is built on vignettes and cameo portraits….
These people undoubtedly do exist—we have to take Mr. Naipaul's word on that—but as representative types they are hardly the defining personalities in Africa today. One wonders how he...

Jack Beatty
An account of a journey through Kenya, Tanzania and Zambia, North of South is a remarkably bad-tempered book. Africa annoyed Shiva Naipaul…. Shiva Naipaul is a West Indian novelist now living in London; he has no warrant in Africa. He is on a moral holiday there. Testy as it is, North of South is a first-rate book—spirited, funny, written with economy and care—but it is not a great book like India: A Wounded Civilization, because Shiva Naipaul is not implicated in what he indicts. He went to Africa seeking precisely what he found: he includes a letter to his publisher which sketches out his ideological itinerary. So there is little in Africa that can shock him; and, though much angers him, nothing there can hurt him.
Nothing, that is, except the way black Africans feel toward people like himself, toward "Asians." (p. 38)
It is a paradox, a mystery, this popularity of the whites, this hatred of the inoffensive Asians, and, underneath his urbane bafflement, it makes Shiva Naipaul furious with the Africans. "Transitional states," he writes, "are full of pain, riddled with illusion." There is much pain in what he describes, but he shows very little sympathy for it; his forte is exposing the illusion. Here is his farewell to Africa: "… Nothing but lies." "Nothing but"—it is the language of obsession, not that of observation. Africa is unproblematic to Naipaul. He needn't have gone there at...

Not only have there been many accounts of the macabre events [of the Jonestown Massacre] but the question of interpretation has continued to intrigue many commentators…. [With] so much data already on hand, it seems unlikely that any startling new facts will be uncovered and the question of interpretation becomes more pressing. ["Journey to Nowhere: A New World Tragedy"] stands out by its resolute attack on this question and its refusal to accept easy answers. Mr. Naipaul … is a sharp, sometimes pitiless observer. He is a masterful writer. And he was determined to gain an independent understanding of the Jonestown phenomenon. These qualities make for a book that no one interested in the matter can afford to ignore.
Mr. Naipaul's quest for an explanation took him both to California and to Guyana, to the beginning and end points of the movement, and "Journey to Nowhere" is an account of these travels as much as an interpretation of Jonestown. Travelogue and commentary keep on intersecting, but given the evidence of a fine mind working to understand a complex and shocking subject, one tends to get as interested in Mr. Naipaul as in what he is writing about so well. Whether one finds the constant intrusion of the author into so terrible a story a flaw or a benefit is a matter of taste; be this as it may, in Mr. Naipaul's case, the continual presence of the inquiring author makes the book lively and readable.

Peter Levi
[Shiva Naipaul's] novels have dealt with a world where feeling has gone dead from despair and helplessness. He draws with the utmost precision a picture of the backwoods of Trinidad, and a people obsessed with the earnest, lifelong struggle to climb into the lower middle class. (p. 25)
Fireflies was a heavily documentary family saga, rather flatly constructed, but at the same time it was an utterly original book; the impression its abundant detail made was unforgettable. If Shiva Naipaul seemed never quite to get inside his characters, that is because he thought there was straw inside them. They were without some indefinable essential part of man. He wrote like a sociologist, unstylishly, at great length and with academic coldness. Still, for whatever reasons, Fireflies was a runaway success. It was certainly a most promising first book although it reads now as if it were written with suppressed passion by a writer who was a quarter poet, forcing himself into social science, hardly by a novelist at all.
By the end of The Chip-Chip Gatherers, that reservation dissolves. He still specialises in characters whose feelings have gone dead. Liberation, if it ever arrives, comes too late to matter…. But the novelist's ear for dialogue, and the fluent, truthful movement of one scene into another, which differs from family saga as history does from chronicle, and the brilliant spare delineation of certain...

In its implacable depiction of one of those anterooms to hell that liberated Third World countries seem doomed to become, [A Hot Country] is impressive; but it has an odd air of being no more than the first draft of another novel, far fuller of incidents and characters. Just as the flood of the colonisers' dreams of untold wealth soon dwindled to a trickle and was then lost in sand, so the flood of the narrative, so confident at first, also thins away. The last two pages are superb in their evocation of a world of void, darkness and unspecified hunger, in which people, robbed of their souls by their former conquerors and exploiters, now have only one genuine desire left to them: 'To wreak vengeance. To tear down. To burn. To loot. To insult. To kill.' But it is impossible not to feel disappointment with a writer capable of such passionate eloquence and yet lacking the stamina to create the epic that his book seems constantly to adumbrate.
Francis King, "Potent," in The Spectator, Vol. 251, No. 8099, October 1, 1983, p. 22.

[Love and Death in a Hot Country], Naipaul's subtly crafted account of abandonment and degeneration in a thinly-veiled version of Guyana, focuses on two casualties of the new redemptive order, Dina and Aubrey St. Pierre, whose marriage is suffering its own parallel decline. Disgusted by the lavish promises of the electoral masquerade, the St. Pierres inhabit a political and psychological void between the vanishing past and the balloting's foregone conclusion. In divergent ways, their lives assume a frustration and incompleteness that obliquely but unmistakably reflects Cuyama's apparently hopeless course. (p. 20)
Naipaul's portrait of a nation coming apart before having a chance to take political or cultural shape is neither explosive or overtly dramatic. His is a vision of gradual decomposition, tautly revealed in personal histories, the rhythms of daily life and details of the landscape….
Love and Death in a Hot Country draws much of its inspiration from the author's nightmarish trip to Guyana several years ago, recorded in Journey to Nowhere (1980), an extended report on the Jonestown massacre. Some revolutionary terminology and bits of conversation reappear exactly as they did in the earlier volume. Perhaps because Naipaul is dealing here with characters he created, though, the novel exhibits a tone of genuine sympathy for those condemned, through no fault of their own, to endure the whims...

They know that Jesus is everywhere, even inside of a prison, but sometimes they have to show the love of Jesus.
That is one of the reasons why groups of men enter state prisons for a four-day period and talk and pray with incarcerated men. This retreat is known as Kairos, and men from several area churches including Navarre United Methodist Church and Calvary Chapel, participate, according to Steve Walsh, a board member of Kairos in Area One and Emerald Coast Kairos.

Among the Indians, more than half of every sentence is expressed by signs. And miners illustrate their conversation by the various terms used in mining. I have always noticed how clearly these terms conveyed the idea sought. Awkwardness in comprehending this dialect easily reveals that the hearer bears the disgrace of being a "pilgrim," or a "tender-foot," as they style the new emigrant.

The name 'sphairistike,' however, was impossible (if only because people would pronounce it as a word of three syllables to rhyme with 'pike') and it was soon rechristened. ["Times" of London, June 10, 1927]

Barnes in this match revealed himself once more as one of the most remarkable bowlers that this country has ever produced. He has a positively wonderful command of the leg break.... His great height makes it difficult for the batsman to follow the flight of the ball. He is useful on every kind of wicket, whereas few bowlers of his pace are able to bowl on a sticky wicket. - JACK HOBBS, 'My Cricket Memories' (1924)

Lodge Southern Cross meets at 7pm on the 2nd Tuesday of each month in the Sydney Masonic Centre, Level 3, Cnr Castlereagh and Goulburn Street, Sydney
Dress: Dinner Suit with Bow-tie or Lounge suit with Lodge Tie
Dinner: $30
Parking: From 6.30pm under Sydney Masonic Centre ($10) or diagonally at Wilson's Goulburn Street Carpark
On Saturday, 7th December 2013, Lodge Southern Cross will be holding an emergent meeting, travelling to Wyong Masonic Temple to conduct the ritual of raising a candidate to the Sublime degree of a Master Mason.
This is a degree that completes the 'craft degrees' of Freemasonry. Once a brother has been raised to this degree, the options to engage himself in his Masonic community are greatly increased.
One opportunity is he can now deliver charges and instructions to brethren in open lodge. This leads to a larger privilege being that he now can be invested as an Officer of the Lodge, more especially the Progressive Offices that lead to him obtaining the qualifications of becoming the Worshipful Master of the Lodge.
Upon reaching the Third Degree, a Mason becomes eligible to petition to join other orders such as the Holy Royal Arch, The Rose Croix and the Knights Templar. Some of these orders may require a pre-requisite of a certain amount of time spent as a Master Mason before they can accept the petition.
For further information or expressions of interest for this particular meeting, please contact the Worshipful Master, W Bro Heath Lester on 0431 000 676
On Tuesday, 10th December 2013, Lodge Southern Cross will be conducting the ritual of passing a candidate to the degree of a Fellowcraft Freemason.
This is a very educational degree that builds upon the foundations that a candidate has learnt in his Entered Apprentice Degree and instructs him on useful and important lessons to grow.
While this may be the shortest craft degree, it has arguably more educational components which many Masons spend the most amount of reflection and engagement upon.

In 1997, Brown was named director of legislative affairs for incoming Gov. Gary Locke and later became Gov. Locke's deputy chief of staff and OFM director. Upon taking office in 2005, Gov. Chris Gregoire appointed Brown as her director of legislative affairs. She then appointed him as OFM director in 2010, the position he held before moving to the State Board.

Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images? |
I would just mention one potential drawback, that being the editing. Several of the songs, for instance "Money For Nothing", are in their 'single' form, which is to sat edited for time to fit into an FM radio broadcast, therefore, if you really want the whole song you need to buy the original CD. So this is a plug to buy the whole collection. More expensive, surely, but totally worth it.
I am a bit unsure who picked the songs for this CD, but the mix is a bit tilted to newer stuff. I think it might have been improved if a couple of tracks ("Heavy Fuel" comes to mind) had been left out and the unedited versions had been put on the CD.
Of course, this is all quibbling. I still recommend the CD, the sound quality is superb and the mix of old and new makes it an interesting career retrospective (to date). I have seen Dire Straits and Mark in concert several times and "Local Hero/Wild Theme" live at the close of the CD still gives me goosebumps when I hear it.
I really like all the cuts here, from "Sultans Of Swing' to "Romeo And Juliet" to "Lady Writer". In each, Knopfler's distinctive twanging guitar sound echoes in my house till all hours of the morning, along with "Private Investigations, " Tunnel Of Love", and "So Far Away". My own personal favorites here are the live version of "Love Over Gold" and "Money For Nothing". In the time since the band was actively recording in the mid 1980s, Knopfler has become a kind of institutionalized artistic force everywhere one looked, writing soundtrack music for (among other films) "Local Hero" and "Cal", performing both alone and with Dire Straits, and collaborating with other artists, as well.
Read more ›This is a wonderful compilation of some of Dire Straits best work, from the raw energy of their classic "Sultans Of Swing" of 1978 to their hauntingly enchanting closer to the film Local Hero, "Wild Theme". Every song is an artistic gem, with layers of meaning to be gleaned only from repeated listens.
The only disappointment here is the exclusion of Telegraph Road, which can be found on the Love Over Gold CD--another classic!
This CD is not the usual "the best of" -collection. The real value is on the Bonus disc. Live recording from Wembley stadium is just amazing and worth of buying! I bought this version even I had the same cd without Bonus disc! Live disc contains a legendary live versions of Sultans of Swing and Brothers in Arms recorded in very high quality. You may have heard the live version of Sultans of Swing in Alchemy live, but this is better, extremely professional sound quality and amazing specimen of skill in quitar playing by Mark Knopfler, more feeling, more ambience. Even you are serious fan or just freshman in listening Dire Straits, I really recommend this one. You'll get comprehensive collection of their music with one of the best live recordings ever!

Ask A QuestionHow would you compare the 2014 Easton S1 to the DeMarini CF6?
The 2014 Easton S1: SL14S110 Senior League and the 2014 DeMarini CF6: DXCFX Senior League are both very high performing bats. The two-piece design is ideal for a contact hitter. Both bats are very balanced. The CF6 features new composite material that allows the bat to be more game ready and also has anti-vibration technology. Both bats have approximately the same barrel length.
I have a 13 year old who is about 5'6" & weighs about 165. He was at a hitting clinic this past weekend & was told by one of the instructors that he has quick hands for his age. He also has a lot of power. Would you recommend the S1 or the XL series for him?
The 2014 Easton S1: SL14S110 Senior League is a balanced two-piece bat and is best suited or a contact hitter. The Easton XL1 is end loaded, and best for a power hitter.
Is there any differences between the 2013 and 2014 model of the same bat?
The two differences between the 2014 Easton S1: SL14S110 Senior League and the 2013 Easton S1: SL13S110 Senior League is going to be the color scheme and the manufacturer warranty. The 2013 S1 has a 400 day warranty and the 2014 S1 has a 12 month warranty.
Product Description
New for 2014! The next generation of Power Brigade has arrived. Now in its second season, this groundbreaking line of bats is unlike anything else on the field today. The concept is simple: Help players hit for power. However, Easton realizes that different players achieve a powerful swing in different ways. That's why the Power Brigade is divided into two distinct series - the XL Series (XL1, XL2, and XL3) and the Speed Series (S1, S2, and S3). The XL Series is designed for bigger, stronger hitters who derive their power from a bat with more mass. Smaller length to weight ratios, and an extra-long barrel with a massive sweet spot and a slight end load characterize the XL Series. The Speed Series, on the other hand, helps players increase their swing speed in order to generate more power. These bats feature lighter length to weight ratios, a lower M.O.I., and a balanced feel. Further trying to equip players with their perfect bat, Easton offers all of its Power Brigade bats in a two-piece IMX Composite/SIC Black Carbon design (XL1, S1), a two-piece IMX Composite/THT100 Scandium Alloy hybrid design (XL2, S2), and a one-piece THT Scandium Alloy design (XL3, S3). Two of the highest performing materials ever used on a bat, Easton's patented IMX Composite optimizes the sweet spot for maximum performance, while their THT Scandium Alloy provides solid durability and allows for a larger alloy sweet spot than is seen anywhere else on the field. Throw in an array of additional world-class Easton technology, and you've got a line of bats that can't be topped. Easton: Personalize Your Power! The S1 features the new USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp. It is backed by Easton's Exclusive 12 Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Read the Hamlet soliloquy "O that this too solid flesh would melt" below with modern English translation & analysis:
Spoken by Hamlet, Hamlet Act 1 Scene 2:
O, that this too too solid flesh would melt
Thaw and resolve itself into a dew!
Or that the Everlasting had not fix'd
His canon 'gainst self-slaughter! O God! God!
How weary, stale, flat and unprofitable,
Seem to me all the uses of this world!
Fie on't! ah fie! 'tis an unweeded garden,
That grows to seed; things rank and gross in nature
Possess it merely. That it should come to this!
But two months dead: nay, not so much, not two:
So excellent a king; that was, to this,
Hyperion to a satyr; so loving to my mother
That he might not beteem the winds of heaven
Visit her face too roughly. Heaven and earth!
Must I remember? why, she would hang on him,
As if increase of appetite had grown
By what it fed on: and yet, within a month–
Let me not think on't–Frailty, thy name is woman!–
A little month, or ere those shoes were old
With which she follow'd my poor father's body,
Like Niobe, all tears:–why she, even she–
O, God! a beast, that wants discourse of reason,
Would have mourn'd longer–married with my uncle,
My father's brother, but no more like my father
Than I to Hercules: within a month:
Ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears
Had left the flushing in her galled eyes,
She married. O, most wicked speed, to post
With such dexterity to incestuous sheets!
It is not nor it cannot come to good:
But break, my heart; for I must hold my tongue.
"O That This Too Solid Flesh Would Melt" Soliloquy Translation:
He wished that his body would just melt, turn to water and become like the dew. Or that the Almighty hadn't made a law forbidding suicide. Oh God! God! How weary, stale, flat and useless everything about life seemed! He moaned. It was terrible. The whole world was like an unweeded garden that had gone to seed – only ugly disgusting things thrived. He couldn't believe what had happened. Only two months dead; no, not even two. Such an excellent king he had been, compared with this one. It was like Hyperion, the sun god, compared to a lecherous satyr. He'd been so loving to his mother that he wouldn't even allow the gentle breeze of heaven to blow too roughly on her face. He lifted his hands and blocked his ears as though to shut his father's memory out. She had loved him so much, adored him, as though the more she had of him the more she wanted him. And yet, within a month! He couldn't bear to think about it. Women were so inconsistent! Only a month, even before the shoes with which she had followed his father's body were old, all flowing with tears, she, even she… Oh God! Even an animal that doesn't have reason, would have mourned longer – ..she married his uncle! His father's brother, but no more like his father than he was like Hercules. Even before the salt of those hypocritical tears had left her swollen eyes, she married. Oh, most wicked speed, to hurry so enthusiastically to incestuous sheets! It couldn't end happily. But he would just have to break his heart, because he had to hold his tongue.
See other Hamlet soliloquies >>
Read Hamlet in modern English >>
I don't understand why the soliloquy is in the present tense but the translation is all in the past. "But break, my heart; for I must hold my tongue" becomes "But he would just have to break his heart, because he had to hold his tongue." This doesn't make any sense.
Well it should be obvious that the soliloquy itself is being spoken by Hamlet in the first person. Considering he is talking about himself. The translation is in third person, and is discussing not only what Hamlet is doing but what he is thinking and feeling. It'd be difficult to just put in modern terms the soliloquy without explaining the meaning behind it.

Is it theoretically possible to simulate a computer using arbitrarily many instances of any heroes in the game, an arbitrary map, arbitrarily long shift-queues of any skills or actions, and no player input at all once the scenario is set up?
I remember Michael Burge hinted that the answer was "yes" when giving ideas for new installments of his "Mechanics/Math" posts series, but we were never able to find out how to do it.

Are you suggesting that the input of 1's and 0's can be translated into hero actions? And consequently that interpretation of the outcome can be used to output 1's and 0's for computation? From what I understand any closed system can theoretically be turned into a computer with enough established rules. However the number of rules would be to some crazy 10^20 or something completely complex and impractical. I would research more on this but I would rather not.
I was hoping to keep questions constrained to within HoN, not applying the rules of HoN to outside life.
Good question though.

How many unique 5-man all melee teams can be made?
I think I could probably figure this out, but I'll let you do the math here. Sadly no opportunity for a pretty graph. I'll have to think of a good graph-friendly question...
hmmm and I'm still LN on the forums...

How many Level 1 illusions (whichever damage) will it take to kill a non-leveling level 0 Kongor?
(assuming they get 1 attack in before he dispels them)
And where Nyarlathotep went, rest vanished; for the small hours were rent with the screams of nightmare.
Nightmare was nothing compared to the true horror, the crawling chaos peering into our hearts and simply whispering, 'Join me'.
And here is another combinations question just for fun. If there was a WTF mode in hon, how many different skill combinations where you wind up with 4 stuns? I'll give you the freedom to include or exclude ministuns like magebane ulti or pharoah's hellfire.

I'll start you off:
Make a "closed loop" by having a line of alternating Legion and Hellbourne heroes issue an attack command on each other, with the last hero attacking the first(so it's a circle). Make sure their sight is enough and attack range small enough so they don't actually damage each other.
Now that you can carry a signal in a loop, find the right combination of skills/actions that'll get you a NAND gate. And then you're pretty much done, as long as the entire system is self-sustaining and the gates are allowed to feed back into themselves, because NAND gates are universal.
My computer is crazy and impractical - it has 16 trillion switches on my hard drive I can turn on and off at will. And my CPU flips switches on the order of 4 billion times per second.From what I understand any closed system can theoretically be turned into a computer with enough established rules. However the number of rules would be to some crazy 10^20 or something completely complex and impractical.
There aren't "10^20 rules"; there is the HoN engine and associated scripts. If you define a hero's movement, the attack-move action, and all the 300 hero skills in the game or whatever it is, then you're pretty far along the way done. Maybe ~600 "rules" depending on how big a "rule" is, most of which you won't even use for this particular exercise?
How many times procs brutalizer in fights?
How much damage can do puppet's ult? (pyro ulting...etc)
Take a look to my hero Manavourer
how do you get maximal damage out of your 603 starting gold if your a ranged hero. (thinking if hatchet is viable)
What is the intelligence pont where vindicator would recieve a higher dps from his natural passive than from harkons blade modifier?
The way I interpret this:
Vindicator has Harkons and no other items.
As Vindicator collects int, his passive gets stronger.
However, as Vindicator collects int, the potential damage from Harkons get's higher.
How much int do you need to finally overcome the Harkons modifier?
Basically, "when should you turn off your Harkon's and use your built in attack modifier instead?"
Please confirm.

How many ways can a five man team be formed with melee only if duplication is allowed? < ez.
For the vindicator question, there's a lot of factor in it. I mean a lot.
Enemy armor, both magic and physical.
Your attack damage, total int gain from items.
It boils down to.
Vindi with orb (physical + true)
Vindi with Harkons(magical)
It will out damage at (P.Attack - P.Def + true) > (M.Attack - M.Def)

Seafood Rømø East Jutland and Isefjord blue shell mussel fishery earns MSC certification
Apr 05, 2012
The Seafood Rømø East Jutland and Isefjord blue shell mussel dredge fishery in Denmark was today awarded MSC certification following an independent assessment against the MSC standard for sustainable fisheries. The certificate means that – subject to traceability certification – mussels from this fishery will be eligible to bear the coveted blue MSC ecolabel, which provides consumers with assurance that the product is traceable to a certified sustainable source.
About the fishery
Seafood Rømø operates two vessels, one in the Isefjord and one off the eastern coast of Jutland all year around but most intensively during the period mid-August to February. The fishery uses dredges to harvest approximately 1500 metric tonnes of blue shell mussels (Mytilus edulis) every year.
To protect potentially sensitive marine habitats in the shallow water, the vessels are limited by legislation and cannot fish in waters shallower than 4m depth. There are further restrictions in place to protect wildlife in Natura 2000 sites. These include depth restrictions on fishing in water shallower than 4m or deeper than 12m.
Denmark is one of the most important producers of processed mussels in Europe and more than 90 per cent of all landings are exported as single frozen mussels or canned commodities. The mussels from this fishery are sold to both the live market and processed. Most of the mussels are exported but a small quantity is sold to the live market in Denmark.
Commitment to further improvements
The assessment of this fishery took less than a year and it scored highly for its stock status, with the certifier noting that the fishery had a negligible impact on mussel stocks and the marine environment. Nevertheless, as a condition for on-going certification, Seafood Rømø will develop a monitoring programme and a detailed research plan for the fishery together with the National Institute of Aquatic Resources (DTU-Aqua), which has overall responsibility for monitoring and assessing the different mussel stocks in this area.
Jan Rasmussen from Seafood Rømø says: "With our MSC certification we can now continue our sustainable fishing in the same way as we have done so far, namely with respect for the same nature that we all are part of, and our customers can with good conscience continue to eat our delicious mussels."
"On behalf of the MSC, I'd like to congratulate Seafood Rømø on the certification of their blue shell mussel fishery. It's very positive to see this fishery come through with such good scores and yet still commit to improvements that will help it maintain its claims to sustainability into the future, for the sake of the environment and environmentally-conscious consumers," says Helene Tivemark, fisheries outreach officer for the MSC in the Baltic Sea region.

The Wildlife Conservation Societys Bronx Zoo, the Toledo Zoo, Tanzanian government, World Bank and other partners have reintroduced 2,000 Kihansi spray toads into the Kihansi Gorge in Tanzania. This is the first example of an amphibian species that had been declared extinct in the wild being reintroduced into its native habitat.
The repatriation effort marks a major milestone for a species declared extinct in the wild in 2009. It is the result of a 12-year partnership to breed the toads in captivity while its habitat was restored.
Representatives from each of the partnering organizations joined WCS for the release in the Kihansi Gorge at the end of October: the Toledo Zoo, World Bank, University of Dar Es Salaam, International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute, Sokoine University of Agriculture, Tanzania Electric Supply Company, and local Tanzanian villagers all took part.
The Kihansi spray toad was first discovered in 1996, living in a five-acre micro-habitat created by the spray of nearby waterfalls in the Kihansi Gorge. In 1999, the construction of a hydroelectric dam was predicted to dramatically change the Kihansi spray toads habitat. The micro-habitat where the toad lived was dependent on the mist created by the waterfalls in the gorge. The dam, generating nearly one-fourth of Tanzanias electrical supply, reduced the flow of the Kihansi falls by 90 percent, drastically lessening the mist zone.
The toad was last seen in the wild in 2005, and in 2009, it was declared extinct in the wild by the IUCN. Although the ultimate cause for extinction is still debated, it is likely a combination of habitat change and the emergence of chytrid fungus, a virulent pathogen which is responsible for alarming population crashes and extinctions of amphibian species across the world.
As the spray toad population rapidly declined, an agreement between WCS and the Tanzanian government was reached. Bronx Zoo scientists and Tanzanian officials collected an assurance colony of 499 Kihansi spray toads from the gorge. The small colony was brought back to the U.S. to initiate the off-site conservation program. Special microhabitats meeting all the environmental parameters necessary for the toads to survive were replicated in bio-secure facilities at the Bronx Zoo and later the Toledo Zoo. Both zoos were successful in breeding the toads and increasing their numbers so reintroduction efforts could commence.

By: Lathleen Ade-Brown Posted: March 5 2012 12:53 AM 0 Courtesy of T.J. Martin With no film degree, director T.J. Martin wasn't always confident that he would win an Academy Award. In fact, just the thought of being nominated for an Oscar came as a complete surprise. "I'm not used to people saying that; it doesn't sound like they are talking about me," he told The Root. The Seattle native made history on Feb. 26 when he became the first African American to win an Oscar for a best documentary feature film, Undefeated. (Martin had a memorable moment during the ceremony when he dropped the f-bomb while accepting the award. He later apologized.) Martin co-directed the film with Dan Lindsay. The pair also shot and edited the film. Undefeated is a beautifully told story of underprivileged African-American football players from North Memphis, Tenn., and their white coach, Bill Courtney. In a pre-Oscars interview with The Root, Martin describes the hardest part about being a director, what he has in common with the players in North Memphis and the lack of diversity in Hollywood. The Root: The similarity that Undefeated shares with films like The Blind Side and Hardball is that a white coach is sort of the savior for African-American athletes. What do you say to the critics who disapprove of this pattern? T.J. Martin: Some of those critics actually [have a point], and I think it is unfortunate that they don't understand that -- that's not a critique of the movie, that's a critique of the world of Hollywood. It's really unfortunate that these are the only types of stories that we see. I know for a fact that there are thousands of other individuals like Bill. Maybe it's an all-Latino team with a Latino coach, or an all-African-American team with an African-American coach, that is doing the same exact things Bill did, but we are just not seeing those stories. As Bill puts it, it's completely circumstantial [that his] business happens to be in North Memphis, and Manassas High School happens to be right down the street from [his] business. [He] happens to be white, and they happen to be an all-African-American team. So if it wasn't a big deal to our characters, then [there] was no need for us to make a big deal out of it. It was not a big deal to the community or the kids. TR: As you previously stated, Hollywood only shows those kinds of tales. Why did you feel it was important to tell it again? What separates Undefeated from the other, similar stories? TJM: When we first came to North Memphis, I personally had never seen poverty on that level in the United States before. When we kind of discovered the community, we thought it was imperative that we tell the story and we tell it with a human interest. So if we do our jobs right, it will make it more of a coming-of-age story. Then hopefully it will inspire people to talk about issues regarding race and class or at least start that conversation. Also, when you have a media presence in communities like North Memphis, they tend to do really sensationalized pieces about how violent the community is. We had no interest in doing that at all. We saw this as an opportunity to celebrate the community and show not just the bad but also the good. Page 1 of 2 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

(Washington, DC) Working to transform the District of Columbia's high schools and help more students graduate from high school and achieve their dreams of a college education, a new coalition of education and community leaders, including Mayor Anthony Williams and Superintendent Clifford Janey, issued an agenda for action today to double the number of DC public school students who successfully complete college. The coalition began its efforts by releasing a report, Double the Numbers for College Success: A Call to Action for the District of Columbia. The study underscores the urgent problem of low graduation and college success rates for DC public school students, and provides an action plan to increase community support to help keep more students on track for success in and beyond high school. Select the link below to view the report:
The five-month study of the high school and college attainment of DC students was based on research conducted by The Bridgespan Group, a Boston nonprofit organization that provides management consulting and research services to help bring about social change. It was commissioned by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for the Double the Numbers coalition, which includes the DC State Education Office (SEO), the DCPS, the DC Education Compact (DCEC) and the DC College Access Program (DC-CAP).
Mayor Anthony A. Williams said, "DC students have not yet fully realized their education potential. I am encouraged by the fact that the District has assembled school, program, District, business, and community leaders who have begun to address the challenge."
The research revealed some startling findings about DC public and charter school 9th grade students:

'Only God Forgives' Red Band Trailer: Ryan Gosling Asks "Wanna Fight?"
After the awesomeness that is 'Drive,' we're psyched to see what happens when Ryan Gosling re-teams with his 'Drive' director Nicolas Winding Refn. That film is 'Only God Forgives,' and now there's a red band trailer that points out it's going to be violent.
'Grown Ups 2′ Trailer: Adam Sandler Suffers from Moose Farts
The first 'Grown Ups' had a trailer that revolved around older men urinating in a public pool. The centerpiece of the new 'Grown Ups 2' trailer is a moose that not only lets out a long fart, but bucks up and urinates on Adam Sandler. Oh boy.
Tim Burton to Direct 'Big Eyes' with Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz
Tim Burton has lined up his next project, and it's 'Big Eyes,' the long-in-development biography of Margaret and Walter Keane, who painted those big eyed pictures of children. And for his leads he's got Amy Adams and recent Oscar winner Christoph Waltz.
'This Is the End' Red-Band NSFW Trailer: Emma Watson Steals Seth Rogen and James Franco's Supplies
'This is the End' got an early jump on April Fool's Day by releasing a fake trailer for 'Pinapple Express 2,' but that was all a build-up to the latest trailer for the movie, which is NSFW, filthy and filled with violence. It's also pretty great.
'The Mortal Instruments' Trailer: Lily Collins Is Saved by Werewolves
After 15-year-old Clary Fray witnesses a murder only she can see, she's quickly swept up into the hidden world of demons and the Shadowhunters that fight them.
'White House Down' Trailer: Channing Tatum Must Protect President Jamie Foxx
'White House Down' may look a little familiar -- it is the second "'Die Hard' in the White House" movie of 2013 -- but it's also the bigger budget summer blockbuster version. Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx star in this Roland Emmerich summer extravaganza, and they waited until just after 'Olympus has Fallen' was released to debut their trailer.
'Beauty and the Beast' to be Reimagined as 'The Beast'
The classic Walt Disney animated films have become ripe fodder for big budget live action remakes. They've already updated 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' twice, they've filmed a new version of 'Sleeping Beauty' ('Maleficent'), and are working on a re-imaging of 'Cinderella.' But they're far from done mining these classics, as Disney is now looking to do a new gritty version of 'Beauty and the Beast,' called 'The Beast.'
'Oz: The Great and Powerful 2′ — Disney Is Already Prepping a Sequel
When it comes to tentpole studio releases, there's a pressure to get the next one made two or three years after the first, simply so the brand is still in people's heads. The best way to get a jump on that is to start prepping the sequel before the first film is released, and because (at least with these films) the script is often the cheapest part, it's no surprise that Disney has already commissioned someone to pen a sequel to 'Oz: The Great and Powerful.'
'After Earth' Trailer: Jaden and Will Smith Face Off Against Apes and Aliens
A crash landing leaves teenager Kitai Raige and his legendary father Cypher stranded on Earth, 1,000 years after cataclysmic events forced humanity's escape. With Cypher critically injured, Kitai must embark on a perilous journey to signal for help.
'Poltergeist' Remake Gets 'Monster House's' Director
There had been rumors that Sam Raimi -- who's on board as a producer -- would helm the remake of Tobe Hooper's 'Poltergeist,' but they didn't come to pass. Gil Kenan, best known for being behind the motion captured 'Monster House' and live-action film 'City of Ember,' just landed the job as the remake's director.
