Let’s move the clock back a year on the earliest appearance of put on airs in print, to 1700; the OED seems to have missed this quote:

“She went on purpose; you a man of gallantry, and not understand that a lady's best plas'd (ie. pleased) when she puts on her airs, as you call it.” The source is dramatist George Farquhar’s comedy The Constant Couple.

https://mccrindle.com.au/insights/blogarchive/social-media-and-narcissism/ Social media and narcissism 2021 McCrindle Research Pty Ltd.It seems there is more armchair diagnosing of narcissism and calling people “narcissists” than ever before and social media is often the trigger of it and takes the blame. Narcissistic Personality Disorder is defined by the symptoms of behaviours of grandiosity and lack of self-awareness, an abnormal need for admiration, and often a lack of empathy toward others. While even a cursory look at one’s social media feed will show posts which seem to promote (and perhaps exaggerate) achievements and certainly the visual aspects of social media are preoccupied with appearance, beauty, status and success. While celebrity news and popular culture has for some time been permeated with these characteristics, this last decade has offered celebrity in the suburbs where everyone on YouTube can “broadcast yourself”, personal websites and blogs are de jure, and to exist without social media is seemingly to not exist at all.

An infographic showing the top 10 countries with the highest populations and including the populations of social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram).Almost two and a half millennia ago Socrates wrote that “to do is to be” while now it seems that “to tweet is to be”. Such is the popularity of such communication platforms, if social media sites were countries, Facebook would be the world’s largest country with more active accounts than there are people in China. Twitter would rank 4th with twice the “population” of the USA and Instagram would round out the Top 10. While the speed of adoption of these communication platforms has been unprecedented- all of this occurring in less than a decade, the reasons for the take-up are varied. Certainly much social media activity is push-communication, with users wanting to publicise their latest activities and status, for many social media use is a genuine attempt to connect, to engage and to listen. However our latest research shows this latter group comprises just 1 in 5 social media users: the contributors who participate via social media as in any community- to share and participate, speak and listen, connect and contribute. Such are these times that the larger proportion of social media users- almost 4 in 5 are consumers, who largely use social media as an update channel to see what others are up to, and when posting something themselves, it is more broadcast and generic than personal and connective.

Most behavioural experts agree that narcissism is a condition not of biology but society- it is the social context not the genetic factors that are causal. In a world of always-connected, app-ready, mobile device saturated living, where every phone is a camera and we are ever just a few clicks away from posting our next contribution it is clear that social media has created an environment conducive to the growth of narcissism. However the apparent rise of narcissism may be more a factor of social media highlighting its existence and narcissistic-type behaviours rather than of itself creating more narcissism. Indeed some of the negative press social media receives is unwarranted. Selfies are given as the ultimate sign of narcissistic times, and combined with today’s must-have item- the selfie stick, an indicator of self-obsession. However most selfies are more “groupies” – not photos of oneself by oneself, but of a group and sent to other friends. Many (though not all) selfies are more about sharing a life journey rather than an unashamed exercise in self-promotion. So too the “status update”, the Instagram account and the personal blog: while such musing and sharing in our grandparents era was kept to a personal journal or limited to a family photo album, the current approach is definitely more public but most of it is a long way from fitting the pure definition of narcissistic grandiosity and an overwhelming need for admiration. In fact the Australian characteristics of keeping things “fair dinkum” and “not blowing your own trumpet” are still part of the local approach. The tall poppy syndrome remains a powerful social norm to ensure that no one gets “too big for his boots” or is “putting on airs”. The Australian values of community mindedness and looking out for each other ensure that empathy remains strong and narcissism is kept at bay- even this great screen age.

Posted April 15, 2014 Psychology Today The nature of narcissists is paradoxical—as is much that's been said about them. Posted April 15, 2014 | Reviewed by Jessica Schrader THE BASICS What Is Narcissism? Find a therapist who understands narcissism Whether as a character trait or a full-fledged personality disorder, narcissism is just teeming with irony and paradox. Take, for example, this ambiguous quote that, without explanation, may well seem baffling: “I thought narcissism was about self-love till someone told me there is a flip side to it. ... It is unrequited self-love.” (Emily Levine)

In fact, in researching some of the most memorable things that have been said about this increasingly popular—and ever-controversial—subject, I encountered many quotes so private and personal in meaning that I could hardly be sure what the writer had in mind. Elliptical at best, and flat-out contradictory at worst, I was obliged to drop them from consideration. After all, it hardly made sense to attempt to explicate a viewpoint I myself found obscure.

Moreover, when a particular quotation about narcissism was so ambiguous that it was susceptible to any number of opposing interpretations, it couldn't really be viewed as shedding new light on the subject. Nonetheless, many of the quotes I’ve chosen for this post are undeniably paradoxical. Still, their ambiguities are clearly intentional, and so can help the reader better appreciate the unusually ironic dynamics of this core psychological concept.

Let’s start with the quote I included in my opening: “I thought narcissism was about self-love till someone told me there is a flip side to it. ... It is unrequited self-love.” –Emily Levine.

Consider also: "Narcissus weeps to find that his Image does not return his love.” –Mason Cooley

On their surface almost nonsensical, these complementary quotes hint at the deeper truth of narcissists—that a truly loving engagement with self doesn’t (and can’t) come from putting on haughty airs, acting with self-satisfied arrogance, or being obsessed with assorted fantasies of ideal brilliance or beauty. Healthy, non-egotistical self-love stems from an unconditional acceptance of self without having to declare superiority over others. It’s a love made possible by a fully integrated self; and such “internal togetherness” forever eludes the narcissist. For, with a truly alarming lack of insight as to what’s really going on inside them, their false, fake, or “idealized,” self must forever hold in contempt their actual, far-less-than-perfect being.

Curiously, deep, deep down—and undoubtedly unconscious to them—they know they’re not really what they project. In fact, one of their central defenses (or stratagems) is to endlessly project onto others the very flaws (and fears!) they’re unable, or unwilling, to allow into awareness. As critical as they are about others’ shortcomings, they’re amazingly blind to their own. (And in this respect, the reader might take a look at my earlier piece, “The Narcissist’s Dilemma: They Can Dish It Out, But ... “).

The narcissist’s self-love must ultimately be seen as an illusion, a spectacular triumph of self-deception. It’s similar to the handsome youth Narcissus of Greek mythology, whose blemish-free reflection in a pool of water is but a reflection and so can never love Narcissus back, can never requite his obsessive, yearning adoration. Actual, “non-mythic” narcissists can love only their false (or idealized) self—a mirage that cannot possibly return such a fantasy-laden love. However much narcissists may “posture” superiority, the flawed self hidden beneath their outward bravado has been locked up and placed in permanent exile. And this walled-off self, seen as inferior, weak, and even cowardly, is typically identifiable only by an astute therapist—though in time the many unappealing characteristics of the narcissist (e.g., their dishonesty, manipulativeness, and lack of empathy) become all too painfully obvious to those around them.

Moreover, the main reason that narcissists are so judgmental of others is that’s the only way they can sustain the desperately required fiction of their perfection. They’re truly masters in keeping their self-contempt secret from themselves through regularly finding people onto whom they can project it. And to continually safeguard themselves from a reality that so frequently contradicts their grandiose assumptions and pretensions, they’re obliged to adopt a massive defense system—which they maintain with extraordinary rigidity.

"Narcissism and self-deception are survival mechanisms without which many of us might just jump off a bridge.” –Todd Solondz

This quote is seminal in that very few people recognize just how essential most people’s defenses are to them. And prideful, narcissistic defenses are among the most prevalent. That is, most of us are still saddled with certain doubts about ourselves left over from childhood (particularly if our parents didn’t adequately nurture, validate, or support us). These doubts center on the crucial question: “Am I good enough?” (or “smart enough,” “attractive enough,” “deserving enough,” etc.). So consciously cultivating counter-beliefs about being special, or even extraordinary, can afford us a compensatory comfort we may require simply to feel that we’re basically OK.

Strange as it may seem, to feel "good enough" many of us must convince ourselves that we’re more than good enough. You might ask yourself whether at times you, too, have exaggerated your accomplishments? Or had fantasies of being of higher social or economic status than is really the case? Or might you sometimes have fished for compliments to reassure yourself that you’re respected and admired? In short, narcissism exists along a continuum. And although very few of us actually meet sufficient criteria to be assessed as a Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), almost all of us are guilty of sharing certain narcissistic tendencies.

For truly narcissistic individuals, however, their defenses are absolutely essential to shore up their ego deficits and reduce (or remove) feelings of shame. Absent such defenses, they might find themselves (as the above quote suggests) in a state of suicidal depression. For deep down, most narcissists don’t really like themselves—let alone love themselves. And the more they boast, brag, and put others down, the more likely they’re trying to make up for deeper, largely hidden feelings of inferiority (or unlovability).

“No one has probably helped me more with my narcissism than my dog.” –Tucker Max

A dog’s readiness to accept you, and to give and receive love, exists totally independent of any efforts to cajole it to do so. Canines don’t know—or care—whether you’re having a bad hair day, or what clothes you’re wearing, or whether you’re rich or poor. As long as you give them some attention and don’t abuse them, they’re delighted to be your best friend. There’s really no need to try to please them, or to win their affection. Simply throwing the occasional ball for them to fetch will do the job nicely. It only makes sense then that such pets can temper whatever narcissistic inclinations you might possess. Daily they demonstrate that love isn’t something to be earned by parading superiority or high achievement. Nor is it based on doing anything special for them. Simply “showing up” (vs. “showing off”) in a caring way will dependably “earn” you a happily wagging tail.

“Self-love for ever creeps out, like a snake, to sting anything which happens ... to stumble upon it.” –George Gordon Noel Byron

Here’s a metaphor that powerfully suggests that if, however accidentally and without the slightest negative intent, you happen to say or do something that a narcissist finds offensive (i.e., is experienced as a threat to—or assault upon—their artificially inflated self-esteem), they may attack you venomously. To safeguard their ever-precarious self-love, they’re compelled to “sting” anyone they sense may be challenging it. And because they’re so sensitive to anything resembling negative evaluation (even including a tentatively offered suggestion!), they’re likely—viper-like—to lash out at you if you offer a viewpoint counter to theirs. And when such an overreaction happens, only an experienced therapist is likely to grasp what their heated response betrays.

“It is not love that should be depicted as blind, but self-love.” –Voltaire

As brilliant as it is terse, what Voltaire’s quote reveals is his awareness of how narcissists’ self-delusions of superiority prevent them from seeing themselves as they are. As already indicated, they’re blinded by their idealized image of self, which they’ve fabricated to hide from themselves (and others) innermost doubts about their worthiness. And so they’re driven to portray themselves not simply as good enough but far beyond good enough: gifted, exceptional, unique. Given their typically high standards for themselves (sometimes related to unrealistically lofty norms earlier set for them by overly critical parents), simply being adequate doesn’t feel anywhere close to being good enough. So they must always be demonstrating—frequently in spurious ways—that they warrant being seen as superlative. And thus their well-deserved reputation for egotism, arrogance, and condescension.

“To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance.” –Oscar Wilde

Although as stated, this quote is undoubtedly ambiguous, the term “romance” leads me to believe that Wilde’s notion of self-love leans toward the pathological—and maybe the auto-erotic as well. But healthy self-love really has very little to do with the romantic: it’s grounded in positive self-regard and an acceptance of one’s flaws and frailties. On the contrary, being “in love with” oneself (as implied by Wilde’s quote) suggests a self-absorption that can only be detrimental to narcissists in their relationships with others. In fact, one of the most common descriptions of unhealthy narcissism emphasizes their inability to care about other people—apart, that is, from how these others might satisfy the demands of their (insatiable) egos.

"Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don’t mean to do harm, but the harm [that they cause] does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves." –T. S. Eliot

This quote makes a vital distinction between narcissists’ being malevolent (cf. the sociopath) and their simply lacking concern about how their behaviors might adversely affect others. It’s yet another way of drawing attention to their supreme self-absorption, which makes it impossible for them to empathically identify with another’s feelings, Most of the time they don’t consciously intend to take advantage of others. Such exploitation is merely a side effect of their overriding need to feel more important and better than others—and so feel “good enough.” Nonetheless, their insensitivity to the wants and needs of those around them can at times be nothing less than astonishing.

“I don’t care what you think unless it is about me.” –Kurt Cobain

Here’s another quote that, however comical in its exaggeration, addresses the narcissist’s indifference to who you are or what you have to say—unless, that is, it specifically relates to them. They’re literally incapable of any genuine interest in another, unless that person can assist them in their endless quest to amass more and more evidence of their superiority. For their “inner child’s” need for confirmation is unquenchable. Additionally, Cobain’s offhanded remark indirectly calls attention to the fact that narcissists are generally recognized to be terrible listeners.

“Narcissists are great con-artists. After all, they succeed in deluding themselves! As a result, very few professionals see through them.” –Anonymous.

This statement seems somewhat exaggerated to me. For most therapists learn quickly enough the signs and signals that give away a narcissistic patient (e.g., regularly blaming others for their problems, taking very little responsibility for why their lives aren’t working, telling them how to do therapy, etc.). Still, the quote is instructive in pointing out not only the enormous self-deception in the way narcissists see themselves, but also their singular expertise in deceiving others. Speaking with bogus authority, they typically have an excellent track record in getting others to see things as they do, even though the result to those so taken in can be disastrous (e.g., being persuaded to make a truly ill-considered investment).

All of which is to say that—on many different levels—getting involved with a narcissist can be as dangerous as a snake bite. And the unexpected sting of it all can, alas, last a good deal longer.

Note: In examining literally hundreds of quotes for this post, I came across many that centered not anywhere so much on the narcissist as on their hapless victims. Consequently, my next post will explore the damage that narcissists—especially those far out on the narcissistic continuum—do to those who unwittingly put their trust in them. It’s called ”The Vampire’s Bite: Victims of Narcissists Speak Out.” Lieutenant Commander John Rich Craig (September 13, 1906 – March 22, 1943) was an officer in the United States Navy.[4]

Born in Jacksonville, Florida, Craig graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1930 and received flight training the following year. During 1935 and 1936 he underwent submarine training. Prior to the outbreak of World War II, he commanded USS R-17 (SS-94). He took command of USS Grampus (SS-207) September 16, 1942. During the next 6 months he led the submarine on high risk attacks against Japanese shipping. While on her sixth war patrol, Grampus was lost in the Southwest Pacific with all hands on March 22, 1943. He was declared dead on March 23, 1944.[4]

Lt. Comdr. Craig was awarded the Navy Cross posthumously for his extraordinary heroism.

USS John R. Craig (DD-885) was named for him.[4]

Smith Date: 1970 The Frank Murphy Hall of Justice is located on Gratiot Avenue in close proximity to the Wayne County Jail and Detroit's police headquarters in Greektown. The building, by Eberle M. Smith, was completed in 1970. The use of poured and precast concrete and minimal window openings gives this twelve-story building a heavy, monolithic appearance. Adhering to the tenets of Brutalist architecture, the building's internal configuration is clearly expressed on its exterior. The location of each of the building's courtrooms is visible as a windowless bay cantilevered outward. Windowed bays indicate jury rooms and judges' offices. Visible at each end of the building are separate elevator shafts for prisoners. Offices at the top three floors feature continuous windows.

The Frank Murphy Hall of Justice was designed in the late 1960s by architect Eberle Smith. Smith began his career with Albert Kahn Associates and established his own firm in 1942. He became nationally known for his progressive, student-centered school designs. In Michigan, Smith designed Edsel Ford High School (1955) and Henry Ford Community College (1961) in Dearborn and Lincoln Park and Flint High Schools (1960).

On the Gratiot side of the building, Hand of God, by Swedish-born sculptor Carl Milles, was installed in 1970 by the United Auto Workers as a tribute to Frank Murphy, a former mayor of Detroit, who became governor of Michigan in 1934 and served during the Flint Sit-down Strike of 1936-37. The sculpture was selected in 1959 by UAW president Walter P. Reuther and Judge Ira W. Jane, but the finished monument remained in storage until a home was found for it. This cast bronze work depicts a young man gazing skyward in awe and surprise as the hand of his creator lifts him to the heavens.

The sculpture itself was Milles' last work as an artist-in-residence at Cranbrook in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, completed shortly before his death in 1955. Marshall Fredericks, himself a student of Milles, supervised the installation and recommended that the sculpture be elevated on a tall pylon of black granite. A reflecting pool, originally planned for the site, was never constructed.

The Third Judicial Court of Michigan operates from several buildings including the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center, the Frank Murphy Hall of Justice and three others.

Opinion | The Uncertainty Factor - The New York Times

New York Times Opinion The Uncertainty Factor David Brooks By David Brooks April 13, 2004

Twenty years ago, Secretary of State George Shultz went to the Park Avenue Synagogue in New York to give a speech about terrorism. Fighting a war on terrorism, he emphasized, means coping with uncertainty.

Terrorists operate outside the normal rules, Shultz observed. Because an attack is so hard to anticipate, he said, our responses should go beyond passive defense to consider means of active prevention, pre-emption and retaliation. Our goal must be to prevent and deter future terrorist acts.

We can't wait for the sort of conclusive evidence that would stand up in a court of law. We cannot allow ourselves to become the Hamlet of nations, worrying endlessly over whether and how to respond. We have to take the battle to the terrorists so we can at least control the time and place of the confrontation.

And we have to plan these counteroffensives aware of how little we know for sure.

Facing such great uncertainties, Shultz continued, the president has to take extra care to prepare the electorate: The public must understand before the fact that some will seek to cast any pre-emptive or retaliatory action by us in the worst light and will attempt to make our military and our policy makers -- rather than the terrorists -- appear to be the culprits. The public must understand before the fact that occasions will come when their government must act before each and every fact is known.

The Shultz speech opened a rift within the Reagan administration. Shultz's argument was that uncertainty forces us to be aggressive. Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger, on the other hand, argued that uncertainty should make us cautious. As one Weinberger aide told The Times, The Pentagon is more aware of the downside of military operations and therefore is cautious about undertaking operations where the results are as unpredictable as in pre-emptive strikes against terrorists.

Help our journalists make an impact. Support The Times. Subscribe. Shultz and Weinberger were clear and mature. Both understood there is no perfect answer to terror and both understood the downsides of their respective positions.

Two decades and a national tragedy later, it is hard to find anybody that consistent.

If you follow the 9/11 commission, you find yourself in a crowd of Shultzians. The critics savage the Clinton and Bush administrations for not moving aggressively enough against terror. Al Qaeda facilities should have been dismantled before 9/11, the critics say.

Then you look at the debate over Iraq and suddenly you see the same second-guessers posing as Weinbergerians. The U.S. should have been more cautious. We should have had concrete evidence about W.M.D.'s before invading Iraq.

Step back and you see millions of people who will pick up any stick they can to beat the administration. They're perfectly aware of the cruel uncertainties that confront policy makers, but, opportunistically, they ignore them.

Nor has the administration itself demonstrated that it can operate as intelligently as Shultz in a world of uncertainty. The administration war plan called for a lean, high-tech invasion. That's fine if you know who your enemies are and where you can hit them. But if you don't have that information, you probably have to hang around, feeling your way through the neighborhoods. For that you need boots on the ground -- enough to cope with the unexpected. You need heavy armor, because it's likely your enemies will strike first before you know where they are.

The Bush administration sent too few troops into Iraq, and they stuck them in Humvees that couldn't withstand a semi-serious terrorist attack.

Worse yet, the administration never bothered to educate the American people on the nature of war amid uncertainty. The president did not stress beforehand that it was necessary to act, even though some of his suppositions would inevitably prove to be incorrect.

When you read the Shultz speech, you get the impression the country is aging backward. Twenty years ago we had a leader who treated us like adults, mature enough to cope with harsh uncertainties. Now we're talked to as if we're children, which, if you look at the hypocrisy-laden terror debate, is about what we deserve.

Hello, 7&6=thirteen, and Welcome to Wikipedia!   

In their paper on those findings, the researchers suggest updating Wikipedia’s motto, “The encyclopedia that anyone can edit.” Their version reads: “The encyclopedia that anyone who understands the norms, socializes him or herself, dodges the impersonal wall of semi-automated rejection and still wants to voluntarily contribute his or her time and energy can edit.” https://www.technologyreview.com/2013/10/22/175674/the-decline-of-wikipedia/ The Decline of Wikipedia The community that built the largest encyclopedia in history is shrinking, even as more people and Internet services depend on it than ever. Can it be revived, or is this the end of the Web’s idealistic era? by Tom Simonite archive page October 22, 2013 MIT Technology Review Welcome to Wikipedia!

Architectural sculpture is the use of sculptural techniques by an architect and/or sculptor in the design of a building, bridge, mausoleum or other such project. The sculpture is usually integrated with the structure, but freestanding works that are part of the original design are also considered to be architectural sculpture. The concept overlaps with, or is a subset of, monumental sculpture. Stone carving is an activity where pieces of rough natural stone are shaped by the controlled removal of stone. Owing to the permanence of the material, stone work has survived which was created during our prehistory. Stone carving is one of the processes which may be used by an artist when creating a sculpture. The term also refers to the activity of masons in dressing stone blocks for use in architecture, building or civil engineering.

Coffin of Nedjemankh This was the latest of several incidents that have raised questions about the thoroughness of the museum’s vetting procedures when acquiring antiquities. The Met said it had fully cooperated with the district attorney’s investigation and added that the museum will “review and revise” its acquisitions process.

The investigators did not discuss the details of how they had discovered the artifact was looted, but District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. said in a statement: “Stewards of the world’s most important artifacts have a duty to hold their acquisitions to the highest level of scrutiny.”

Over the years the Met has occasionally parted with ancient items that may have been stolen. About a decade ago, for instance, the museum returned a 2,500-year-old vase known as the Euphronios krater to the Italian government, which suspected that it had been plundered.

In 2017 the district attorney’s office seized from the museum a 2,300-year-old vase depicting Dionysus, god of the grape harvest, riding in a cart pulled by a satyr. The vase was believed to have been looted by tomb raiders in Italy in the 1970s.

One of his chief legislative accomplishments was his introduction of a bill to segregate the State of Tennessee's street cars. This was done in light of the Supreme Court of the United States holding in Plessy v Ferguson. He introduced it in 1899, and it was defeated in 1901. In 1903 it passed, due in part to a successful lobby by transit companies. However, because of strong newspaper objections in the cities of Nashville and Chattanoofa, the law was limited to "counties having 150,000 inhabitants." The streetcar law was declared unconstitiutional by the Tennessee Supreme Court in 1903. In 1905 Fahey introduced Bill Number 87 "to separate white and colored passengers on streetcars." With minor amendments, it passed the legislature (81 to 4 in the house; 18-1 in the Senate). The law required streetcar operators to designate by means of conspicuous signs separate parts the car for white or colored passengers. Any passenger refusing to occupy the designated seating area would be liable for a fine not to exceed twenty-five dollars. This precipitated civil disobediance, and state-wide boycotted, and particularly the successful 1905 Nashville streetcar boycott, was a result.Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page). a relatively common condition experienced by orthodontic patients with a facial deformity – is often associated with open mouth breathing. which caused excessive vertical facial development.[2] Its causes may be either genetic or environmental. Long face syndrome is “a common dentofacial abnormality.”[3]: 369 [4] Its diagnosis, symptomology and treatments are complex and controversial. Indeed, even its existence as a "syndrome" is disputed.

Definition and treatment

One dental textbook defines it as: “Dollicofacial, there is excess of lower facial height usually associated with lower occlusal and mandibular plane angles.” This is often associated “with vertical maxillary excess and mandibular hypoplasia.”[5] Luc P. M. Tourne, a Fellow in the Department of TMJ and Craniofacial Pain at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry, noted: "There is a clinically recognizable facial morphology, the long face syndrome, which has been incompletely described in the literature," However, her study of 31 adults with this syndrome, which included "analysis of esthetics, skeletal morphology, and occlusion" confirmed "this basic dentofacial deformity" has associations " with excessive vertical growth of the maxilla." She reported that closed bite and dental open are two pf the syndrome's variants.[A][7]

Cinnamon spirits are the fasted growing category in the dark whiskey universe. The spice now lights up tequila and moonshine. Vodka was the first spirit to vigorously pursue flavor, but the proliferation of extreme examples from marshmallow to bubble gum may have saturated the market as interest has waned. Most producers tout natural sources for their cinnamon and not chemical formulations, but many don’t reveal details. Among those who comment, Sri Lanka and Vietnam (Saigon) are the most common sources. Here are a dozen recommended cinnamon spirits. Most were released in the last few years with the exception of Fireball. Expect to see more brands on the shelf. Meanwhile, chill the bottles before sipping or grabbing that Cherry Coca Cola mixer.

Meets core policies and guidelines, and in particular: is neutral; cites sources with inline citations; is free of close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations and plagiarism. DYK nomination was timely and article is easily long enough. Every paragraph is cited. No copyright violations or too close paraphrasing. In passing, I note that I did not have access to the offline sources and only limited access to those that are "subscription required." Earwig's copy violation detector: Philosophy of Science report gives it a clean bill. Hook is hooky enough, I think, and relates directly to the essence of the article.

According to Rolling Stone magazine's "500 Greatest Songs Of All Time," before Waters recorded this song, he tested it out at the Chicago blues club Zanzibar. Dixon gave Waters some advice before the band hit it: "Well, just get a little rhythm pattern, do the same thing over again, and keep the words in your mind." Waters cut it a couple of weeks later, with Dixon on bass.

British Blues musician Long John Baldry named his 1964 band Long John Baldry And His Hoochie Coochie Men in honor of this song.http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=8839 HOOCHIE COOCHIE MAN by MUDDY WATERS SnngFacts

Happy New Year

Wishing you the Peace of the season and prosperity in the New Year.

ead between the liiines chica chica it's all there in duffy's poems

Valentine by Carol Ann Duffy Not a red rose or a satin heart.

I give you an onion. It is a moon wrapped in brown paper. It promises light like the careful undressing of love.

Here. It will blind you with tears like a lover. It will make your reflection a wobbling photo of grief.

I am trying to be truthful.

Not a cute card or a kissogram.

I give you an onion. Its fierce kiss will stay on your lips, possessive and faithful as we are, for as long as we are.

Take it. Its platinum loops shrink to a wedding-ring, if you like.

Lethal. Its scent will cling to your fingers, cling to your knife.

Onion of love

The key is using http://reftag.appspot.com/. Keep it linked on you user page. Any book you have just search in google books for it and paste the url into the ref maker and click "load". All you have to do then is reverse the author names to put surname first, and remove the ref name and date from the bottom right side and then copy and paste the references without the ref markup and paste it into your bibliography. For sfn to work you have to just add ref=harv in citation you;ve drawn up. Then you can just use the sfn|author|year of publication|p=page number for page notes. Please do take the time to look at the William Burges formatting and it should be useful as a guideline for you.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 17:11, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

   Maybe, but I don't live in the UP again to do any research on him. He's really only got the two things going for him in terms of notability: first to mark a centerline on a rural highway (not the first to mark a centerline though) and the guy that started the county airport that became the Air Force base that is once again the county airport. Also, that video has an error in it: CR 492 was never US 41. From 1919 until 1926, it was M-15, then it was part of M-28. US 41 was routed north of what is now CR 492 and M-28 was routed along CR 492. Imzadi 1979 → 01:40, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Notes: This lighthouse was relocated to a marina after being discontinued. In 1927 the government sold the second Port Clinton Lighthouse keeper’s house and it was purchased by a doctor. In 1983 the second keeper’s house became the Garden at the Lighthouse Restaurant. The restaurant was damaged by fire in September of 2009 and it closed. In April of 2013 the 2nd keeper’s house was sold at auction to the Croghan Colonial Bank. In March of 2014, over the objections of local preservationists who said the structure should be restored and saved, the bank demolished the historic structure thereby destroying a vital slice of America’s lighthouse heritage and history.

Description of Tower: Square pyramidal wooden tower.

This light is not operational Earlier Towers? 1833: 40-foot stone tower.

Date Established: 1833

Date Present Tower Built: 1896 (?)

Tower Moved? 1964

Current Use: Attraction at marina.

Open To Public? Grounds only.

Directions: Visitors can visit the lighthouse during the operating hours of the marina. The marina is located on the western basin of Lake Erie, 40 miles east of Toldeo.

Patterson v. State of Alabama [1934] 294 U.S. 600, illustrates this position. It is important that the party claiming the relief or change of relief must have the same right from which either the first or the modified remedy may flow. Subsequent events in the course of the case cannot be constitutive of substantive rights enforceable in that very litigation ... but may influence the equitable jurisdiction to mould reliefs. Conversely, where rights have already vested in a party, they cannot be nullified or negated by subsequent events save where there is a change in the law and it is made applicable at any stage. [Citation omitted] ... Courts of justice may, when the compelling equities of a case oblige them, shape reliefs - cannot deny rights - to make them justly relevant in the updated circumstances. Where the relief is discretionary, Courts may exercise this jurisdiction to avoid injustice. Likewise, where the right to the remedy depends, under the statute itself, on the presence or absence of certain basic facts at the time the relief is to be ultimately granted, the Court, even in appeal, can take note of such supervening facts with fundamental impact....Where a cause of action is deficient but later events have made up the deficiency, the Court may, in order to avoid multiplicity of litigation, permit amendment and continue the proceeding, provided no prejudice is caused to the other side.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).

Some articles I've worked on, how and why

Although while I posthole on an article, I try to put it into the broadest historical and cultural context. E.g, a few articles I worked on that I thought important: Three hares, Frank Murphy (alas, since I last edited it the other editors dumbed it down, and I've not gotten much involved since as it irritated me greatly), Oliver Hazard Perry, Outhouse (I worked on it anonymously slavishly, and then in my current identity), Barber pole, Spectacle Reef Light, Stannard Rock Light, White Shoal Light and Sturgeon Point Light (I was doing lighthouses (mainly on the Great Lakes, until I became frustrated at the officious intermeddling of some administrators. I also did a few dog articles, including Leonberger and Bernese Mountain Dog. Another article which I had wanted to be a DYK was Turtling, but I would not knuckle under to policies that should not be stupidly applied. I did one section of Blind spot (vehicle) that I considered to be critical to all drivers (and particulatly new ones who might look to Wikipedia). I had intended to do all the Michigan lighthouses, but I gave up that project when they tore up the tracks I had carefully laid down), and The moon is made of green cheese. I was proud of Trial film, which is essentially a list. Likewise Mountain dog and List of magic museums, not to mention American Museum of Magic and other articles mentioned in the list. I did those because I though they covered subjects and brought together articles in a way that at least some of our readers would deem useful. I spent an extraordinary amount of effort on Yule marble. So too with Northern Michigan. I did two sections of Anatomy of a Murder (if you read the article, even without looking at the edit history, you may be able to pick up my edits. I would also say that over the years my ability to use citation templates has grown vastly, and I haven't gone back to many of those articles to correct what I had done. Half-assed as some of them were, they are better than the vast majority of articles in Wikipedia. Just click on "Random article" at the top left of this page to see what I mean.
When I work on an article (or a piece of an article) I try to give the readers lots of citations and links in the hope that this would be a good beginning point for their own research. I can only improve a few articles, but I want them to be all they can be. don't mean to bore you: I've been doing this work for years and almost nobody notices. But I've avoided the spotlight. We're all volunteers here, and they can't make me work on an article unless I want to. And when faced with stupidity, I may not edit war or argue incessantly over stupid things, but I may not edit either. Pearls before swine has some application. So you may sometimes feel frustrated with editing, but its a gigantic encyclopedia. There is always someplace else to go, and then you can interact with a whole new cast of players, leaving behind any bete noirs. It felt good to say this to somebody.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you 'may be blocked from editing.

Can you figure out why they do not appear? – Corinne (talk) 16:48, 7 June 2016 (UTC) Well, now I should add, missing from all the section headings but this one. – Corinne (talk) 16:53, 7 June 2016 (UTC) You are probably editing an old (not current) version. Anyway, that is my best guess. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 16:56, 7 June 2016 (UTC) Thanks for your thoughts. How could I be editing a non-current version of my talk page? – Corinne (talk) 16:59, 7 June 2016 (UTC) I cannot figure out how to type a ping to you. – Corinne (talk) 17:00, 7 June 2016 (UTC) I don't know. I know that section edit showed up when I did this. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 17:44, 7 June 2016 (UTC) Corinne. 7&6 has an equals sign in their user name so you have to use a square brackets ping like this: User:7&6=thirteen or to use a ping template you have to escape the equals sign like this: 7&6= thirteen I kid you not. Cheers! Checkingfax {Talk} 18:37, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Ha ha. I've been called worse. 7&6=thirteen () 19:39, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

Occupation

Kenneth Ross is the Scottish-American screenwriter of the films The Day of the Jackal[6] and The Odessa File.[7] Both these films were based on novels by Frederick Forsyth. The screenplay of The Day of the Jackal was nominated for a Golden Globe award[8] and a BAFTA Award.[9]

The Day of the Jackal and the resultant Academy Award nomination were career milestones for Ross. Critics were generally faviorably impressed with the film.[10] The paternity of the film is somewhat disputed.[D] The screenplay faithfully adheres to the novel, even as the latter is uncredited in the film. “This is not a bad movie, it races by and entertains, after a fashion. It simply is not as good as it should have been.”[13]

Roger Ebert noted the importance of the screenplay:

"Fred Zinnemann’s “The Day of the Jackal” is one hell of an exciting movie. I wasn’t prepared for how good it really is: it’s not just a suspense classic, but a beautifully executed example of filmmaking. It’s put together like a fine watch. The screenplay meticulously assembles an incredible array of material, and then Zinnemann choreographs it so that the story — complicated as it is — unfolds in almost documentary starkness.“The Day of the Jackal” is two and a half hours long and seems over in about fifteen minutes. There are some words you hesitate to use in a review, because they sound so much like advertising copy, but in this case I can truthfully say that the movie is spellbinding."[14]

The TIME film critic appreciated the transition from novel to film: The Day of the Jackal makes one appreciate anew the wonderful narrative efficiency of the movies. Frederick Forsyth's bestselling novel—essentially what mystery buffs call a police procedural, but blown up to international proportions—kept losing its basically simple story line in the forest of words. The writer required paragraphs to detail the procedures of an international man hunt, not to mention the procedures of the Jackal himself, a hired gun employed by disaffected French army officers to assassinate Charles de Gaulle. This is the kind of material that a good director can give us in the wink of a panning camera's eye.” Due to the masterful cinema and cutting skills of director Fred Zinnemann “what might have been just another expensive entertainment becomes, on a technical level, a textbook on reels in the near-forgotten subject of concise moviemaking. In short, as so often happens, a second-rate fiction has been transformed into a first-rate screen entertainment.[15] Other critics were less effusive. For example:

Day Of The Jackal is not a great film, but it’s a damn good one, one of the very few films released this year that is worth all the trouble and expense of going out to the movies. ... give [director Zinnemann] a good yarn and he tells it without any personal intrusions and attention-getting tics. Jackal is an authentically detailed suspense story with ingenious twists. And you may be surprised, for director Fred (“High Noon”) Zinnemann and adapter Kenneth Ross have made a curiously depersonalized kind of suspense flick of Frederick Forsyth’s best seller. ..." The script highlights in a suspenseful way the conflict between a relentless “killler’s brain” and the stolid and relentless work of detectives on the hunt for an unknown and elusive quarry.[16]

MacLeans Magazine’s critic called it: “.. an authentically detailed suspense story with ingenious twists. “[17] The movie is an intricate and detailed maze, but is entertaining and never tedious.[18][19] The interplay between director and author was favorably noted:

"Author Frederick Forsyth struck gold right out of the gate with his first fictional work, the 1971 international bestseller The Day of the Jackal, and then had the good fortune to watch it transformed into a motion picture that (unlike too many page-to-screen efforts) steadfastly avoided botching the source material. A largely faithful adaptation of Forsyth’s novel, .... Fred Zinnemann, scripter Kenneth Ross, and editor Ralph Kemplen (earning this film’s sole Oscar nomination) all deserve high marks for ratcheting up the tension in a movie whose outcome is never in doubt (after all, de Gaulle died years later at home, at the age of 79)."[19]

Likewise, the film critic for The Spectator opined:

"All of this the cinema is properly and effectively equipped to handle. Zinnemann, with the help of an excellent script from Kenneth Ross, has tansferred the novel lock, stock, barrel and silencer to the screen. Nothing important has been left out. ..... [The script and the film conveys, the action, conflict, place and denouement. Making it a] “documentary thriller is that it leaves nothing to the imagination.' In other words, for those of you who have read the novel, going to The Day of the Jackal will be curiously like the experience of seeing the same film a second time round or seeing the filmed version of a stage play. For anyone who hasn't read Forsyth's book, the film can be recommended wholeheartedly."[20]

The scrupulously researched “pulp thriller” provided “ the perfect template for this exhaustive procedural. In many ways, this outstanding piece of filmmaking marks the apotheosis of a certain style of thriller that has since fallen out of fashion — the mind game. [It is] “Built with the minutiae of a Swiss watch”, without blandishments. The linear plot “ is made infinitely complex by the portrayal of this empty vessel of a killer by Fox. ...” An irresistible force is pitted against an immovable object — a conflict facilitated by the script.[21] There is an intricate story “with a parallel structure that details the Jackal's preparations for the assassination” and the prophylactic efforts of the detectives.[22]

He was nominated for an Edgar Award for the screenplay of the 1977 film Black Sunday.

Other credits include the play Tømmerflåden, and the films The Fourth War and Brother Sun.[23]

Notes

  1. ^ "Experimental evidence suggests that altered muscular function can influence craniofacial morphology. The switch from a nasal to an oronasal breathing pattern induces functional adaptations that include an increase in total anterior face height and vertical development of the lower anterior face. While some animal studies have suggested predictable growth patterns may occur, studies in human subjects have been much more controversial. Therefore, individual variations in response should be expected from the alteration of a long face syndrome patient's breathing mode."[6]

Despite far-reaching plot points, "this exceedingly lavish updating of a well-known novel and film stands as a solidly commercial male-oriented suspenser .... The major asset of the film is that it succeeds in maintaining interest and suspense despite obvious viewer foreknowledge of the outcome."[11][12]

The gold medal was for Final Absolution, a Belgian style trippel that beat out many other beers from Belgium. Not only did they trounce the Belgian beers, the judges were from Belgium! This victory was even sweeter as these same Belgian judges had, just the day before, stated that Americans could never brew Belgian style beers as well as a native Belgian due to inferior ingredients; a great story and a great triumph for Dragonmead and American craft brewers. To me, the story was the beer equivalent of the 1976 wine competition "Judgment of Paris" when Napa Valley wines defeated the wines of Bordeaux in a blind tasting that was judged by the Parisians!
