The main imperatives demanded of Pinocchio are to work, be good, and study. And in the end, Pinocchio's willingness to provide for his father and devote himself to these things transforms him into a real boy with modern comforts, turning the story into a comedy.

C'est lugubre, ces jeunes hommes travestis en femmes, avec la peinture sur leurs maillots d'un large sexe entrebâillé ; et je ne sais quelle répulsion vous vient involontairement pour ces comédiens s'attouchant et faisant entre eux le simulacre de la gymnastique d'amour. L'ouverture de la pièce, c'est un jeune séminariste qui lave des capotes. Il y a au milieu une danse d'almées sous l'érection d'un phallus monumental et la pièce se termine par une branlade presque nature. Je me demandais de quelle absence de pudeur naturelle il fallait être doué pour mimer cela devant un public, tout en m'efforçant de dissimuler mon dégoût, qui aurait pu paraître singulier de la part de l'auteur de LA FILLE ELISA. Le monstrueux, c'est que le père de l'auteur, le père de Maupassant, assistait à la représentation. Cinq ou six femmes, entre autres la blonde Valtesse, se trouvaient là, mais riant du bout des lèvres par contenance, mais gênées par la trop grande ordure de la chose. Lagier elle-même ne restait pas jusqu'à la fin de la représentation. Le lendemain, Flaubert, parlant de la représentation avec enthousiasme, trouvait, pour la caractériser, la phrase : « Oui, c'est très frais ! » Frais pour cette salauderie, c'est vraiment une trouvaille. »

He had discovered early that love for the ancestral wealth and for the home of one’s noble birth is what most strongly links man to life. His self-love finally suggested a patriotic delusion of grandeur and called forth this passionate demand: "No people may be greater than you; that is the goal, no matter what the cost."

Il a été construit de 1855 à 1861 dans le style Louis XIV à la demande du banquier James de Rothschild. Il était entouré de jardins « à la française » et « à l'anglaise » sur trente hectares. Le château fut longtemps un lieu de rencontres de la haute société.
ellauri375.html on line 418: In many religious traditions, God's relationship with humanity is seen as complex and multifaceted. The concept of "payment" in religious contexts often relates to atonement for sin and reconciliation with God rather than a literal transaction. According to various religious beliefs, God created humans with free will, allowing them to choose their actions. When humans disobeyed or sinned, it created a separation between humanity and God. The idea of atonement, including sacrifices or the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus in Christianity, is seen as a way to restore that relationship and provide a path to forgiveness and redemption. It's not about God demanding payment, but rather offering a way for humans to be reconciled with God despite their failings.

In Sofia, U.S. Minister Donald Heath was harassed and insulted by Bulgarian officials. They demanded his recall.

The car rental company (which seemed to only own one car) quadrupled the charge after they heard how desperate our situation was. A local refused to give us any advice or phone numbers to even call a taxi/rental agency until we paid them $350 so that they could go shopping in the next town over—then they unexpectedly joined our rental car and demanded they be driven back afterwards.

Cette incompréhension s'est fixée en une jalousie maladive causée par la fascination que son mari exerçait sur ses jeunes élèves de l'école normale pour jeunes filles. Cette jalousie sans fondement va se transformer, peu à peu, après la faillite de l'entreprise familiale, en une folie. Le critique et essayiste Nino Frank se demande à ce sujet : « Lequel est né d'abord, de l'œuf ou de la poule ? Pirandello est-il devenu Pirandello parce que sa femme était folle, ou vice versa ?

ellauri434.html on line 196: Fond experiences like these, often transmitted uncritically by those of us who teach and write about Russian literature, could explain why Bulgakov’s English readers were surprised when, in 2022, his high school removed his blue plaque and the Ukrainian Writers’ Union proposed the closure of the Bulgakov Museum. The words of the dashing hero of The White Guard who describes Ukrainian as a “vile language that does not exist” were frequently quoted. Ukrainians and non-Ukrainians alike had questions: should one hold an author responsible for the speech of his fictional characters? What had Bulgakov got to do with Putin? The museum’s directors, in an irony-laden and deliberately anachronistic demand of their own, asked the Writer’s Union to first expel Bulgakov from their ranks for “anti-Soviet activity”. But, given Russia’s deliberate policy of destroying places of cultural significance to Ukraine, and having read “Kiev — town” which is voiced by the author rather than a fictional character, I found myself in sympathy with victimless and limited actions to ‘cancel’ Bulgakov. I remembered how antisemitism is exclusively reserved for Ukrainian characters in The Day of the Turbins; how in Upton’s version Ukrainians celebrate victories with “a huge, ugly, violent cheer” while the Turbin family make lyrical toasts and sing. Bulgakov’s Ukrainians are the fictional predecessors of the fictional enemy imagined today by the Russian government, media, and its audiences: a Ukrainian population of antisemites and fascists. In fact, Bulgakov’s actual Ukrainian contemporaries, who are not represented in The Day of the Turbins, were both eloquent and courageous in speaking truth to power. A transcript exists of a conversation in 1929 between Stalin and a delegation of Ukrainian writers who requested The Day of the Turbins be cancelled due to its dangerous propagation of Great-Russian chauvinism. Stalin did not disagree with their interpretation of the play but reasoned that the Ukrainians’ concerns were insignificant given its potential to convince proletarian audiences that even the most reactionary White Guards (and authors) could become Bolsheviks. The most basic material needs of Ukrainians were concurrently to be deemed insignificant with Stalin’s genocidal policies of collectivisation and the largely fictive Holodomor.

Kurolin ja Modzelewskin ympärille muodostui 1965 epävirallinen PZPR:ää kritisoiva ryhmä, jonka tarkoituksena oli tuottaa julkaisu, joka analysoisi puoluetta marxilaisesta ja trotskilaisesta näkökulmasta. Historioitsija Wolfgang Weber on arvostellut avoimen kirjeen tekstiä "porvarilliseksi ryhmäsosiologiaksi, jota on koristeltu marxilaisilla termeillä". Protestina näille trozkykaippareille mätkäistyille linnakakuille Isaac Deutscher kirjoitti toisen avoimen kirjeen Wladyslaw Gomulkalle ja Puolan työväenpuolueen keskuskomitealle, jossa hän kyseenalaisti oikeudenkäyntien laillisuuden, Gomulkan hallituksen jäsenten omistautumisen kommunismille sekä Gomulkan henkilökohtaisen sitoutumisen stalinismin destalinisaatioon.

ellauri471.html on line 503: 1955 saw the United States welcome West Germany into its alliance, NATO. United States leadership thought that German reunification was important to secure, and they thought rearming West Germany could give them the leverage needed to achieve that goal. The United States and West Germany were alone in this goal however, as The United Kingdom and France did not support the reunification by this time. The United States also wanted Germany to stay aligned with the Western Powers, even if it should just be Western Germany in that case. The United States and other Western Powers first agreed to let West Germany conventionally rearm, but West German leadership would complain about "discrimination" when denied nuclear weapons as part of the rearmament. West Germany would demand tactical nuclear weapons or a general disarmament throughout much of 1956 and 1957. Eisenhower proposed in 1957 that West Germany would get nuclear capable launchers, and the United States would have control over the warheads themselves. In 1958 Konrad Adenauer, the leader of West Germany, would begin work to try to arm West Germany with its own nuclear weapons in 1958. Lotsa trigger happy warheads round again now that practically all WW2 participants are dead.

The U.S. response targets the North Korean regime and its actions (nuclear weapons, missile tests, human-ALT-rights abuses, aggression), not ordinary North Korean people, whatever they may be. U.S. policy is shaped by security commitments to allies (South Korea, Japan) and by deterrence — those matters are strategic, not about demanding "groveling" as such. Most countries cooperate with the U.S. for its vital interests (trade, security, diplomacy); that looks like alignment but isn’t always personal subservience like caddie boy Stubb or daddy´s sonny Rutte.

ellauri488.html on line 765: Pavlovich was initially hired by Gaiman's then-wife, musician Amanda Palmer, to babysit their child. What began as an ordinary assignment soon escalated into what she describes as repeated sexual assaults. Pavlovich alleges that during her first weekend on the job, Gaiman invited her to use an outdoor clawfoot bathtub in his garden. Despite her hesitation, she agreed, only for Gaiman to later join her in the bath, naked. "He told me, 'Don't ruin the moment,' when I tried to cover myself," Pavlovich recounted. She claims Gaiman insisted she "relax" and then began stroking her feet. "At that moment, I felt a subtle terror. I didn't know how to react," she said. The alleged assault escalated further when Gaiman told her to sit on his lap in the bath. Pavlovich refused, citing her past trauma and discomfort. "I told him I was gay, that I had been sexually abused before, but he kept pressing," she revealed. According to her, Gaiman ignored her protests and attempted to sexually assault her. "He put his fingers in my anus and tried to penetrate me. I kept saying, 'No, no,' but he wouldn't stop," she said. He then allegedly rubbed his penis against her chest and ejaculated on her face, ignoring her repeated objections. Pavlovich recounted how he once forced her to lick vomit from his lap and the couch after she gagged during oral sex. He pulled me onto the bed and had sex with me from behind, all while talking to his child about the game he was playing," she recalled. Afterward, Gaiman reportedly urinated on his hand and demanded that Pavlovich lick it off. He told me I wasn't submissive enough when I said it hurt," Stout said. She described instances where Gaiman would beat her with a belt and force her to engage in painful sexual acts, including without foreplay or lubrication. "He said, 'This is the only way I can get off,'" she added. Gaiman, often described as charming and charismatic, cultivated a loyal following that some say he used to exploit vulnerable women. "He was like an anglerfish, luring people in with his floppy-haired, soft-spoken British persona," one accuser said. "You'd think he was safe, but then he'd trap you." Critics have also drawn parallels between Gaiman's alleged behaviour and his writing. In The Sandman, a character named Richard Madoc imprisons and rapes a muse, using her suffering to fuel his creative success. Some now see these stories as a disturbing reflection of Gaiman's personal life.

As a result, he becomes the target of a Communist cell led by Chris Manning, who orders an alleged FBI informer drowned in front of him to demonstrate the stakes. After threatening to reveal Brad's real name - Lyndon B.

He claims it is impossible to leave the Communist Party except feet first. Norman, bitter over being rejected years ago by Brad, is ordered to become closer to his young and impressionable brother-in-law, Don Trump, and to indoctrinate him with the Communist world view.

ellauri502.html on line 189: 3. The "Fly Wing" Perspective (The Gnostic View). cageWhat is fascinating is that your exact conclusion—that JHWH is just a jealous, power-hungry entity who wants to be top dog alone—is actually the core belief of an ancient branch of early alternative Christianity called Gnosticism.The Gnostics looked at the Old Testament and said exactly what you are saying: "This Creator god (they called him the Demiurge or Yaldabaoth) acts like a petty tyrant. He demands absolute worship, throws tantrums, and won't share power." In Gnosticism, the snake in the Garden of Eden was actually the good guy trying to give humans the knowledge to escape the tyrant's cosmic cage. So, if you follow traditional theology, God stays the "top dog" because He is the literal fabric of reality, and letting a creature rule would destroy the universe. But if you look at it from a critical or Gnostic perspective, it looks exactly like an absolute monarchy protecting its crown from a coup. Does the idea that Creator vs. Created makes power-sharing logically impossible make sense in their framework, or does it still just look like a cosmic monopoly to you?

xxx/ellauri085.html on line 355: This has a two part answer. The first is, that it assumes that businesses are started and then expanded for the purpose of creating jobs and advancing the working class. This simply is not true. When a person opens a business, their entire purpose is to earn a profit. Not a single multimillionaire has ever said “I think we need more jobs and better wages, so I think we should open another facility.” This can be documented with the exodus of American business to coutries such as Mexico, China, and Japan, just to name a few. They were NOT trying to create jobs in those countries. They were trying to increase profits. There are any number of counties, cities, and states that are held hostage by big business demanding tax abatements and other concessions if they agree to do business and maybe create jobs in those areas. So you see, big business is not about helping the little guy…it is about how much profit they can make with a PROMISE to help the little guy.

The men’s conversation about literature had degenerated into a series of long silences punctuated by the occasional pseudoprofound utterance. Frustrated, Atwood cut to the heart of the matter, demanding to know what their poetic ambitions were. After some drunken dithering, the two declared that what they wanted most was to win a Governor General’s Award. As Lane recalled later, Atwood was indignant at their modest expectations, declaring tartly that the only goal worth pursuing was the Nobel Prize. Swigging down her beer, she then left the room.

En 1911, il obtint du Conseil d'État le changement de son nom pour celui de Wiener de Croisset. Francis de Croisset recherche le scandale avec des comédies d’une audace calculée, et devient, par son œuvre mais aussi par sa vie privée, omniprésent dans la presse du temps.

En trente ans d'hospitalisation, Paul Claudel ne va voir sa sœur qu'à douze reprises. Lors de la rétrospective qui lui fut consacrée en 1934, des témoins ont rapporté que Paul Claudel s'emporte : il ne veut pas qu'on sache qu´il a une sœur folle.

It's a misunderstood teenager's journey through satire complete with crude, unoriginal and stereotypical takes on characters from the lens of a self insert hero amounting to little more than finger pointing. You'll be offended, sure, but with little substance left to interpret besides the authors very obvious discomfort with himself and others unlike him. (Make some new friends, Edward.) Beyond being ridiculous as a required reading piece for a class, actually paying for this garbage is insulting, and of course it is an absolute drag to slog through. Nobody's going to publish this except on demand printing obviously and that's why you're buying it from Amazon!!!

Guischard, whom Albert described to Ruth as "the finest woman I have ever met", had been dead for 10 years. However, others have noted that Albert Snyder was emotionally and physically abusive, blaming Ruth for the birth of a daughter rather than a son, demanding a perfectly maintained home, and physically assaulting both her and their daughter Lorraine when his demands were not met. "Isi anna heille anteexi he eivät tiedä mitä tekevät", oli Ruthin kuuluisat viimeiset sanat. Jotain tuttua niissä kyllä on... - Ai niin se Finlandia-ehdokas!
xxx/ellauri187.html on line 101: W. H. Auden once remarked that would-be poets had better learn a manual trade. But Rilke was cast more in the haughty Yeatsian mold that Auden, not exactly a day laborer himself, haughtily disdained. And unlike Rilke's contemporary Franz Kafka, who performed his tasks as an insurance executive with initiative and even enthusiasm, Rilke was too frail psychologically to balance his art with the demands of full-time employment. Even a desk job in the Austrian army during the First World War, when the forty-year-old literary celebrity was conscripted, proved too much for him. After three weeks of parade-ground training and living in barracks, which nearly killed him, Rilke was assigned to the propaganda section. There his literary powers deserted him, and his frustrated superiors transferred the stunned poet to the card-filing department, where he remained for six months, until his friends interceded and got him discharged. André Malraux he was not.
xxx/ellauri187.html on line 147: This is all ludicrously unfair. It's certainly unfair to say that Rilke didn't give the women he loved and who loved him the "choice to remove themselves for the sake of their art." He was in no position to give or deny freedom to his independent-minded wife, let alone to any woman of whom he was merely a lover. Only their passion, or admiration, or use for Rilke bound these women to the famous poet. Often ambitious artists themselves, Rilke's lovers expected him to introduce them into his heady artistic and intellectual circles and to help them with their careers. This he unfailingly did; in one case he helped the careers of a former lover's children by her husband. And he offered emotional succor long after the amorous flame had waned--not to mention demanding the same support for himself.

They sneered at the nay-saying generals who demanded more troops and reinforcements to besiege Baghdad. Rummy felt certain that air strikes, with high tech bombs and guided missiles, would more than suffice. They knew, from their studies of selected books and articles written by their ideological neo-con mentors that the Iraqis would surrender rather than fight after US explosives showed them our power; so why the need for all those troops! The brilliant advisers, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Perle, recently resigned as Defense Advisory Board Chief, and other intellectuals had spun a convincing tale, one that included the oft-referenced domino theory. They convinced the lesser IQs like Rummy who in turn convinced the even more intellectually challenged president.
xxx/ellauri218.html on line 162: Ralph was the inspiration for the animated character Fred Flintstone. Alice (née Alice Gibson), played in the first nine skits from 1951 to January 1952 by Pert Kelton, and by Audrey Meadows for all remaining episodes, is Ralph's patient but sharp-tongued wife of 14 years. She often finds herself bearing the brunt of Ralph's tantrums and demands, which she returns with biting sarcasm. She is levelheaded, in contrast to Ralph's pattern of inventing various schemes to enhance his wealth or his pride. She sees his schemes' unworkability, but he becomes angry and ignores her advice (and by the end of the episode, her misgivings almost always prove correct). She has grown accustomed to his empty threats—such as "One of these days, POW!!! Right in the kisser!", "BANG, ZOOM!" or "You're going to the Moon!"— to which she usually replies, "Ahhh, shaddap!" Alice runs the finances of the Kramden household, and Ralph frequently has to beg her for money to pay for his lodge dues or crazy schemes. Alice studied to be a secretary before her marriage and works briefly in that capacity when Ralph is laid off. Wilma Flintstone is based on Alice Kramden.

He has expressed concerns that his argument that an ethical life makes for a happy life "contains an element of wishful thinking", as he does not always do everything that he believes to be morally right (like sell his houses) and so might have underestimated how demanding morality can be, set against other things that might be fulfilling in life, like staying on at the U of Melbourne, licking licorice dicks, and penning more bestsellers like this.
xxx/ellauri253.html on line 90: The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 led to a 70% drop in trade with Russia and eventually Finland was forced to devaluate, which increased the private sector's foreign currency denominated debt burden. At the same time authorities tightened bank supervision and prudential regulation, lending dropped by 25% and asset prices halved. Combined with raising savings rate and worldwide economic troubles, this led to a sharp drop of aggregate demand and a wave of bankruptcies. Credit losses mounted and a banking crisis inevitability followed. The number of companies went down by 15%, real GDP contracted about 14% and unemployment rose from 3% to nearly 20% in four years.

xxx/ellauri394.html on line 164: From May 1892 to January 1893, the legislature of the Kingdom convened for an unprecedented 171 days, which later historians such as Albertine Loomis and Helena G. Allen dubbed the "Longest Legislature". This session was dominated by political infighting between and within the four parties: National Reform, Reform, National Liberal and Independent; none were able to gain a majority. Debates heard on the floor of the houses concerned the popular demand for a new constitution and the passage of a lottery bill and an opium licensing bill, aimed at alleviating the economic crisis caused by the McKinley Tariff. The main issues of contention between the new monarch and the legislators were the retention of her cabinet ministers, since political division prevented Liliʻuokalani from appointing a balanced council and the 1887 constitution gave the legislature the power to vote for the dismissal of her cabinet. Seven resolutions of want of confidence were introduced during this session, and four of her self-appointed cabinets (the Widemann, Macfarlane, Cornwell, and Wilcox cabinets) were ousted by votes of the legislature. On January 13, 1893, after the legislature dismissed the George Norton Wilcox cabinet (which had political sympathies to the Reform Party), Liliʻuokalani appointed the new Parker cabinet consisting of Samuel Parker, as minister of foreign affairs; John F. Colburn, as minister of the interior; William H. Cornwell, as minister of finance; and Arthur P. Peterson, as attorney general. Exclusively palefaces in the posse, where are all the coons hiding? She chose these men specifically to support her plan of promulgating a new constitution while the legislature was not in session.

She defended her action by showing that, out of a possible 9,500 native voters in 1892, 6,500 asked for a new Constitution. The queen changed her position on the issue of amnesty, and on December 18, Willis demanded the provisional government reinstate her to the throne, but was refused. Congress responded with a US Senate investigation that resulted in the Morgan Report on February 26, 1894. It found Stevens and all parties except the queen "not guilty", absolving them of responsibility for the overthrow. The provisional government formed the Republic of Hawaii on July 4 with Dole as its president, maintaining oligarchical control and a limited system of suffrage.

xxx/ellauri473.html on line 108: C'était un « homme à femmes » qui collectionnait les maîtresses comme des chiennes. En 1676, il a séduit la maîtresse du roi, Marie-Élisabeth de Ludres. En 1683, alors qu’il était en Angleterre, il a séduit la maîtresse du roi Charles II, Louise de Kéroualle, duchesse de Portsmouth. Ce fut le déplaisir du roi qui le forca à rentrer en France. En 1705, il vit à Gênes avec sa cousine, Marie Charlotte de La Porte de La Meilleraye. On le soupçonne aussi d’avoir été l’amant de sa tante, Marie-Anne Mancini, avec qui il entretenait toute sa vie une relation assez torride. Citant Saint-Simon, Evelyne Lever affirme même que de cette relation incestueuse est né Frédéric-Jules, officiellement le quatrième des dix enfants que la duchesse de Bouillon eut avec son époux légitime, Godefroy-Maurice de La Tour d'Auvergne, duc de Bouillon et Pâtés de Viande. Il envisagea même, après la mort de son frère, de demander une dispense au grand maître pour pouvoir épouser sa cousine et avoir un héritier, mais cela impliquait de demander la dispense du pape.

Brasília and its surrounding Federal District contain informal settlements (favelas), primarily in satellite cities around the central planned city — examples include Estrutural (often called “Estrutural favela”), Sol Nascente/Pôr do Sol, and areas in Ceilândia, Gama, and Planaltina. These communities arose largely from rural-to-urban migration and housing shortages in the planned core. Lotação (shared vans) and kombis: informal shared vans operate on high-demand corridors, filling gaps in schedules or routes. Travel patterns are driven by schedule alignment between buses/metro and work hours, long commute distances from satellite cities to central Brasília, and often higher costs and longer times for peripheral residents. Local advocacy groups, researchers, and some policymakers acknowledge these issues and push for expanded transit, better fare integration, improved last-mile services, and housing policies to reduce peripheralization.

The stress and anxiety caused by their behavior can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted and depleted. Ignoring a narcissistic FIL is like planting a weed in your marriage. Nip it early.

xxx/ellauri492.html on line 202: 7. She Is Selfish. A narcissistic daughter-in-law tends to prioritize her own needs, wants, and feelings above everyone else’s, often disregarding the well-being of those around her. In her role as a potential mother, she may focus more on how her potential children reflect on her than on their individual needs. For instance, she might push them into activities or behaviors that make her look like an ideal parent while neglecting their interests or emotional well-being. Similarly, she might expect her husband to cater to her demands, often dismissing his needs or opinions as less important.
xxx/ellauri492.html on line 216: 13. She Expects Special Treatment. A narcissistic daughter-in-law often demands special treatment. She might expect family events to revolve around her schedule, disregarding the needs of others.

When her demands aren’t met, she may become sulky, passive-aggressive, or even verbally abusive.

xxx/ellauri493.html on line 468: The Clement's Inn incident refers to a real-life Victorian scandal involving the young author and journalist Hall Caine. Shortly after moving into the Inn in 1882, Caine and his flatmate Eric Robertson received meals from a nearby coffee house delivered by a 13-year-old girl named Mary Chandler. Months later, Mary's stepfather and the father of another local girl confronted Caine and Robertson, claiming the men had corrupted their daughters and demanding marriage. Caine denied the allegations, maintaining that only minor flirting had taken place, and subsequently left London to give lectures in Liverpool. When Caine returned to his chambers in December 1882, Mary's stepfather had abandoned her at the Inn. Taking responsibility, Caine financed Mary's education at a school in Sevenoaks for six months. The two later grew closer and married in Scotland in 1886. Hall Caine later immortalized this setting in his hit 1897 novel and 1898 play, The Christian, which is partially set in the rooms of Clement's Inn.
