Pregnancy does not slow them down one bit.

It’s a girl! Meet Janet, who has her grandma Harriet’s warm brown eyes and her mum’s red hair, and an outfit that coordinates perfectly with her mother’s.

Granddad Frank is over the moon, even though new father Gabriel seems to be wondering what all the fuss is about.

While Mary also utterly dotes on her new granddaughter.

Wasteland

What do you think about my pic?

[fatehbaz]

In the 19th century, British colonists faced several challenges in India, [...] [including] malaria. [...] The imperialists needed an answer to the problem and they found it in quinine. [...] [T]he British promptly embraced quinine, consuming tonnes of it every year by the mid-1800s. [...] Quinine was so bitter that soldiers and officials began mixing the powder with soda and sugar, unwittingly giving birth to “tonic water”. [...] [I]t prompted Winston Churchill to once proclaim, “The gin and tonic has saved more Englishmen’s lives, and minds, than all the doctors in the Empire.” [...] If by some good fortune malaria did not claim them, plague, cholera, dysentery, enteric fever, hepatitis or the unforgiving sun could. Preserving and protecting the body was [...] crucial to the success of the colonial project. As historian EM Collingham aptly summarised in her study, “The British experience of India was intensely physical.”

One way the colonists tried to deal with this challenge was through food and drinks. “The association between food and the maintenance of health was a concern of Anglo-Indian doctors, dieticians and the British authorities throughout the duration of colonial rule [...],” writes Sam Goodman in Unpalatable Truths: Food and Drink as Medicine in Colonial British India. [...]

---

The Medical Gazette, for instance, recommended treating dysentery with a “low diet” comprising thin chicken soup [...]. Botanist-physician George Watt too extolled the virtues of sago. In A Dictionary of the Economic Products of India (1893), he wrote that sago is “easily digestible and wholly destitute of irritating properties” and in demand [...]. For fever, weakness and sundry ailments, beef tea [...] was considered an ideal remedy. And for cholera, The Seamen’s New Medical Guide (1842) prescribed brandy during the worst of the sickness and half a tumbler of mulled wine with toasted bread and castor oil [...]. Ship masters and pantrymen would stock their vessels with foods with known medicinal benefits such as sago, arrowroot, lime juice, desiccated milk and condensed milk (the iconic Anglo Swiss Condensed Milk tins, later known as Milkmaid, enjoyed a permanent spot on British ships).

---

Businessmen too recognised the precarity of life abroad and realised that therein lay a perfect commercial opportunity. By the 19th century, numerous companies had cropped up across Europe, including in England, that would sell food in hermetically sealed tin containers.

One of these was Messrs Brand & Co. Recommended highly in Culinary Jottings for Madras by Colonel Robert Kenney-Herbert, Messrs Brand & Co had several offerings [...]: essence of beef, concentrated beef tea, beef tea jelly, meat lozenges, [...] potted meat, York and game pie, and A1 sauce [...]. Another company, John Moir & Sons, focused mostly on canned soups [...], selling oxtail, turtle, giblet and hare.

---

By the late 19th century such was the popularity of canned foods that rare would be the pantry in a colonial home that didn’t store them along with medical provisions like opium, quinine, chlorodyne and Fowler’s solution (an arsenic compound). [...] As Flora Steele and Grace Gardiner wrote in The Complete Indian Housekeeper and Cook, “A good mistress will remember the breadwinner requires blood-forming nourishment, and the children whose constitutions are being built up day by day, sickly or healthy, according to the food given them; and bear in mind the fact that in India, especially, half the comfort of life depends on clean, wholesome, digestible food.”

To assist the British woman in this ostensible duty, there were a number of cookbooks and housekeeping manuals [...]. The Englishwoman in India, for instance, published in 1864 under the pseudonym A Lady Resident, had a whole section with recipes for “infants and invalids”. These included carrot pap cooked into a congee with arrowroot [...] and toast water (well-toasted bread soaked in water). Steele and Gardiner too had a few recipe recommendations [...], including champagne jelly (“most useful in excessive vomiting”) and the dangerous-sounding Cannibal Broth (beef essence), which they said should be consumed with cream [...] to treat extreme debility and typhoid. [...]

---

One dish born of this encounter was the pish pash. The pish pash is considered an invention of the colonial cook, who adapted the kedgeree – the colonial cousin of khichdi – into a light nursery food. The famous Hobson-Jobson defined it as “a slop of rice soup with small pieces of meat” [...]. None other than Warren Hastings, the first governor-general of Bengal, gave confirmation of its efficacy when in 1784 he wrote to his wife from the sick bed [...]. There are enough records to show that the imperialists counted marh (starch water from cooked rice) and bael (wood apple) sherbet among their go-to remedies and benefited from the medicinal qualities of chiretta water and ajwain-infused water.

The Noble Bachelor

Watson's bullet remains in his shoulder and an attempt at removal with the surgical tech of the day was probably not a good idea.

A tide-waiter is a customs inspector at a port.

Yes, there were books dedicated to listing the aristocracy. Still are.

The "charming invaders" would become known as "dollar princesses" - under the nationality laws of the time, a wife took her husband's nationality and lost her own. By the end of the 19th century, a quarter of the Lords would have some American connection.

The most notable "dollar princess" for history would be Jennie Jerome, the mother of Winston Churchill. She was also one of the *many* mistresses of the then Prince of Wales, later Edward VII.

You could get across the Atlantic by steamship in under a week by this time, but only the richest or government officials would do this regularly.

"The season" was the social calendar of London - based on the residence of the royals in London and the Lords attending Parliament. It started at Easter and went up to the start of the grouse shooting season in August. This included the whole debutante business.

Flora is a former ballet dancer. Those and actresses have frequently ended up as mistresses to the upper classes, who could not marry someone that below their ranks. Their wives frequently just had to put up with it - or had their own affairs.

8 shilings or 40p in modern money would be 40 quid in today's prices. Cheap hotel today!

Hatty has probably not committed bigamy - Frank was probably declared legally dead and the marriage would be deemed to have ended. The five year rule (under California law) does not apply in cases like shipwrecks, where no body is likely to be found.

The marriage to Lord St. Simon can be annuled, as no consumation has taken place - and she can legally remarry in a church.

Diane Elizabeth

Another dad! Tommy ficlet. This time its Diane.

(Could be read as tommy x reader or tommy x eva since Mrs. Shelby remains unnamed)

Six years old (Florence) and The Shelby Boys (Charlie and Gabriel)

1935

Diane is ten when he catches her kissing a girl in the linen closet.

Not just any girl, no, his daughter had to get a crush on Bianca Sabini.

She may be the most well-behaved child in the house, but even she had her faults.

Her fickleness would be a problem.

At nine she decided she liked boys and girls.

At nine and a half she had kissed at least three boys and two girls. This she had bragged to him at dinner and making him choke on his whiskey.

At her tenth birthday she decided Bianca Sabini, daughter of Darby Sabini, would be the third girl she kissed.

1939

Dia is fourteen when she gets her heart broken by a boy.

None other than Nicholas Mosley in a romance that lasted all of three weeks.

“I hate him, daddy.” She cried as he held her.

He tells her it will be alright and bribes her with a pony.

Deep down Tommy knows it won’t be long until she’s stringing along another boy or girl.

By the end of the week, Tommy feels relieved to find her giggling with a nice Jewish girl.

He thinks he’s the only dad fine with his eldest child scoring for both teams.

Frida Solomons, nearly fifteen, the granddaughter of a Rabbi and only daughter of Alfie Solomons.

Better Alfie’s daughter than Mosley’s son.

1940

On her fifteenth birthday, she chooses Bobby Nelson-Kennedy, Jack Nelson’s seventh child to be her dance partner for her first dance.

“Could unite our families with them two.” Jack Nelson says as they pretend they aren’t bothered by this sudden romance between their children.

Lawrence Gray had set them up six months ago. Friendship had turned to a secret romance where Bobby believed his pretty English girlfriend hadn’t been disloyal to him with sixteen-year-old Johnny Dogs Junior.

“In your fucking dreams, Nelson.” Tommy said.

He’d rather have Johnny Junior marrying his little witch than letting her marry one of Nelson’s brats.

1945

The war ends and Diane is twenty.

She is an actress, famous for being the voice Churchill uses to keep people’s spirits up.

He is not surprised to find her with Charlie Chaplin’s son getting handsy with his little witch.

“Diane, I love you, Diane, I want to marry you.” Charles Spencer Chaplin III says at the top of his lungs and his daughter just laughs.

If Tommy had a penny for every time a boy asked for his daughter’s hand, he could retire for good.

“You need my daddy’s blessing, Charlie, love.” She says knowing her father will say no for her.

1951

Diane is twenty-five when she finally marries.

Diane runs off with a handsome pilot six months after her birthday.

She met him at aviary school and on her yellow biplane they leave for Gretna Green to marry.

“You’d hate him, daddy.” Flora says when he asks who this mystery boy his daughter has eloped with is.

“Who is he?” he asks again to the keeper of Diane’s secrets.

“Joseph Franz, son of Duchess Tatiana Petrovna and her Austrian husband.” His wife answered before running away like a teenager.

He chases after her, but never catches her. He’s sixty-one years old, grandfather to Charlie’s three children and Gabriel’s little boy, Luca.

Diane had called, “Daddy, Princess Tatiana says that we can only marry if I have your blessing,”

“Diane, I can’t give you my blessing if you aren’t here.” He tells her.

“You’d be mad, daddy, you see,” she paused. “I’m pregnant.”

On his sixty-second birthday, Thomas Michael Franz-Shelby is born.

BOOK RECS

Hi! Would you answer 🎨🐈🧟 for the ask meme? Thanks :D

🎨- what is your favorite piece of official artwork? I had four of these but two asks with this question so I’ll do two each.

I don’t really know what to add. Just look at them. Luke is the common denominator in all my favorite artworks; he just makes everything 10x more babey. That post about the sweetest picture of Clive being that screenshot of him smiling after the slot machine gun battle is Wrong because these exist.

🐈- best animal character? I love all the animals, but I don’t want to say anything super basic so I’m gonna go with Claudia the demon cat

Is he a robot made specifically for Dahlia or is he real? If he’s a robot was there once an og Claudia? Why does he have a feminine name? So many questions. He can be your angle... or your devil. 😈

🧟- zombie apocalypse team

*Mario voice*: I use-a the ancient meme template

I feel like this warrants a little explanation. I would not trust Paul under normal circumstances, but during an apocalypse I would trust him with my life. It’s like a Winston Churchill situation almost. Emmy is obviously going to kick zombie ass, and Clive piloted a straight up tank. I feel like his magic wand is gun and its only spell is shoot. Layton is obvious, and I used adult Luke for medic because he delivered a got damn baby, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he was studying some sort of medicine in America. Vets are always the medics in apocalypse movies and that’s a popular hc major for him. Descole should be able to take out zombies with ease unless one of them is infected Bronev in which case he’s screwed. Beasley is THE best mascot. Also we’ll need his bee powers to revive the natural world post-apocalypse so that all plants and animals don’t die. Agnes is there for the irony. She kept making all these ominous predictions about death and destruction, and now it’s actually happening. It would be so cliche and poetic if the “heeeed my warniiing” npc was the first to get killed because everyone else would be like, “omg she was right this whole time, this is really serious, and we should’ve listened to her but now it’s too late.” In this scenario Flora is sitting in a zombie proof vault with an emergency flamethrower in case they need to hack into something.

Thank you for asking!

With The Other Elephants In Traction, They Decide That Dumbo Is No Longer An Elephant When They Hear The Ringmaster Has Made Him A Clown As Punishment For His Screw Up..

To Which I Only Have To Say One Thing...

While The Crowd Responds Well To The Clowns Act With Dumbo, They Decide To Alter The Act In The Next Performance Making The Platform Higher Than In The Original Act...

Visiting Mrs. Jumbo's Cell, We Get The Most Emotional Song In This Movie...

(Start At 0:43)

And Yes, I'd Be Heartless To Not Admit That Yes, 9 Times Out Of 10 I Do Cry At This Scene, Hell, I Cry At It More Than Bambi's Mother's Death Which We'll Cover Next Week But Still...

Telling Dumbo To Cheer Up, They Go To Get A Drink Of Water Not Knowing That The Clowns Dropped A Bottle Of Wine Into The Pail They're Drinking Out Of...

But Doing So Causes Them To See Images Of Pink Elephants Which Leads Into The Song You Think We're Leading Into...

(End At 1:42)

The Next Morning, Timothy And Dumbo Wake Up In A Tree Where They Meet A Pair Of Black Crows...

As I Said When Dumbo And Timothy Wake Up In A Tree The Next Morning, They Meet A Pair Of Black Crows (With 2 Of Them Played By James Baskett Who Played Uncle Remus In Song Of The South (Which I Will Not Be Reviewing) And Cliff Edwards Who Was The Original Voice Of Jiminy Cricket)...

Figuring Out That Somehow Dumbo Must Have Flown Them Up The Tree, It Leads The Crows To Make Fun Of Dumbo By Singing The Next Song..

And I Love This Song. Yes, The Crows Are Racist But Without Them We Wouldn't Have This Song That Everyone Knows..

But Telling The Crows Dumbo's Story, The Crows Feel Bad About Making Fun Of Dumbo And Decide To Help Him Fly By Giving Him A Magical Feather To Give Him The Confidence To Fly...

Returning To The Circus, Dumbo Does The Clowns Act And (Aside From Losing The Feather) He Flies...

And That's Dumbo And Despite Being A Good Movie With A Good Story It Is Rather...Short...

Don't Get Me Wrong, I Liked Nearly Everything About This Movie, It's Just That Unlike Snow White, Pinocchio And Fantasia Which Were Longer Dumbo Was Shorter Than Them. But Either Way I Say See It...

Be Sure To Check Out Duke Reviews Xtra This Week As We Look At The Remake Of Dumbo So Till Then, This Is Duke, Signing Off...

The Churchill Family Album: Volume XII

Wake up, sleepyhead...

it’s baby-throwing time!

Janet’s toddler stats:

~ Scorpio 8 / 8 / 9 / 7 / 4

~ Athletic / Neat

~ OTH: Sport

Life as an only toddler can get a bit lonely at times.

That’s better - hanging out with dad, while he...does whatever he’s doing on the computer.

Flora proving that she’s still got it.

It’s a family thing.

And devoted grandmother Mary makes sure that Janet gets an early start on her musical journey, just as her own children did.

Musical education gets interrupted for bath time.

Here we go again then!

Becoming parents themselves seems to have softened these two, and the twins attempt a cautious reconciliation, on one of Crawford’s rare visits to his family home.

Janet has a little brother - welcome, Marcus! Another redhead, also with his grandma Harriet’s brown eyes.

Luneurs Garde-Manger at ITC Shanghai

30 Aug 2021

Architects: hcreates

Location: Xuhui district, Shanghai, China

Luneurs Garde-Manger at ITC Shanghai Design

Tucked up on the second floor of the recently opened ITC in Shanghai’s Xuhui district, sits Luneurs French-inspired, all-day brunch concept. As an extension of their successful bakery and ice-cream stores, hcreates sort to create a destination venue. A 230sqm corner space with high ceilings and a view into the surrounding streets and green of the Former French Concession, the design looks to bring a sense of relaxed luxury while staying true to the DNA of Luneurs.

Referencing traditional French elements and forms, the interior pallet mixes both traditional and modern materiality. Rough cut stone slabs form monolithic counters with contrasting lightweight brushed stainless cabinetry keeping a contemporary tone. The use of timber, marble, sheer curtains, and cane provide warmth and tradition. Each expressed in a modern way, clean lines, soft fabric hues, and onyx bring a light and refined touch.

It was important to consider the experience of the user and create an atmosphere suited to all-day dining. Intimate but also impactful, a place to enjoy with friends but also to be seen. The seating arrangements were designed to create an intimate ambience for each group while also presenting them within the environment. Soft pink onyx tables create an extravagant backdrop for the food and add a touch of glamour.

A corner site wrapped with full height windows and a high ceiling, the design looked to capitalise on the existing openness and extend the outdoor vista within the space. Walnut and cane sofas wrap the windows, enveloping you in the trees and creating intimate pockets. Opposite, floor to ceiling timber shelving curated with French food and collectables line the counter area.

Before entering the main restaurant, you pass by a large seating alcove and ice cream window. The brightly hand-painted signage is a nod towards the traditional while bringing a colour-filled and playful touch.

Function and flow were equally important to the design process and was the starting point of the layout. The cabinetry was custom-designed to fit purpose and complement the food concept. A large plate preparation counter faces out to the restaurant allowing the customer to view the energy and detail in the arrangement of the small plates and trays.

The acoustics were carefully considered and integrated into the design. The large central columns were wrapped with recycled panel and coconut fibre material, both sound-absorbing and sustainable, and the ceilings were treated with wool fibre spray and baffles.

A key feature of the design was incorporating a lush, green, planted environment, that brought relief to the heavy walnut shelving and enhanced the floor to ceiling views of the surrounding Plane trees and neighbourhood green. A large hanging garden made from brushed stainless steel, filled with greens and autumn colour created a rich and tranquil ceiling of flora. A favourite project moment of Hannah Churchill, Founder of hcreates – “One of my personal highlights came during the installation of the furniture and the planting. The planting was one of the very last things to be added and as it was slowly installed, we saw the heart of the concept come to life.”

hcreates

hcreates are an interior design and consulting firm based in Shanghai. The founder Hannah Churchill moved to Shanghai in 2009 from New Zealand and founded hcreates in 2010. With a decade of design experience in China, she has crafted more than 100 spaces with an impressive collection of restaurants and bars.

As Inteligências Múltiplas de Howard Gardner

Howard Gardner, americano, desenvolveu a teoria das Inteligências Múltiplas estabelecendo uma mediação entre os aspectos biológicos, psicológicos e culturais.

Teoria das Inteligências Múltiplas de Howard Gardner

📌 Gardner afirma que a INTELIGÊNCIA não é uma propriedade única da mente humana, mas a interação entre as competências intelectuais – as inteligências.

📌Cada competência é relativamente independente das outras.

📌 As competências não desenvolvidas ficam inerte ou cristalizadas.

📌Gardner também realiza uma síntese entre os estudos localizadores e os holísticos.

Inteligência Linguística: Guimarães Rosa o Inteligência Musical: Milton Nascimento

Inteligência Lógico-Matemática: Einstein o Inteligência Espacial: Picasso

Inteligência Corporal Cinestética: Neymar o Inteligência Intra-pessoal: Freud

Inteligência Inter-pessoal: Gandhi

Inteligência Espiritual: Madre Theresa de Calcutá

Inteligência Naturalística: José Lutzenberger

Inteligência Linguística Normalmente encontrada em: escritores, poetas, redatores de textos para jornais, roteiristas, oradores, líderes políticos, editores, publicitários, jornalistas e redatores de discursos. Exemplo: Winston Churchill, jornalista britânico, tornou-se orador, líder político e escritor.

Inteligência Lógica Matemática Normalmente encontrada em: matemáticos, cientistas, engenheiros, rastreadores de animais, investigadores de polícia, advogados e contadores.

Inteligência Visual e Espacial Normalmente encontrada em: arquitetos, pintores, escultores, navegadores, jogadores de xadrez, naturalistas, físicos teóricos, estrategistas de campo de batalha. Exemplo: Pablo Picasso - Pintor

Inteligência Musical Normalmente encontrada em: artistas, compositores, maestros, concertistas, engenheiros de gravação, fabricantes de instrumentos musicais, afinadores de piano, culturas sem um linguagem escrita tradicional. Exemplo: Mozart

Inteligência Corporal Cinestética Normalmente encontrada em: bailarinos, atores, atletas e realizadores esportistas, inventores, mímicos, cirurgiões, professores de caratê, pilotos de corrida, trabalhadores externos e os mecanismos talentosos Exemplo: Neymar - Futebolista

Inteligência Interpessoal ou “Social” Normalmente encontrada em: políticos, professores, líderes religiosos, conselheiros, vendedores, gerentes, relações públicas e “pessoas comuns”. Exemplo: Jô Soares, apresentador de programa de entrevistas

Inteligência Intrapessoal ou Intuitiva Normalmente encontrada em: Romancistas, conselheiros, anciões, sábios, filósofos, gurus, pessoas com um profundo senso do eu, místicos. Exemplo: Platão, Filósofo.

Inteligência Naturalística Normalmente encontrada em: biólogos, paisagistas, ecologistas, pessoas que adoram estar em contato com a fauna e flora. Exemplo: José Lutzemberger, ecologista.

Inteligência Espiritual Normalmente encontrada em: místicos, sacerdotes, religiosos, pessoas que se dedicam ao transcendental. Exemplos: Dalai Lama, Madre Teresa de Calcutá, João Paulo II

As Condições Que Influenciam a Aprendizagem

Ambiente Físico - mais ou menos estruturado (som, luz, temperatura, postura corpórea ).

Necessidades Emocionais - papel vital na aprendizagem (como se sente).

Necessidades Sociais - aprender por si mesmas, com um parceiro, em equipes, com um adulto presente ou só gostam de trabalhar com adultos.

Necessidades Biológicas - relógio biológico, fome, cansaço.

A Expressão da Aprendizagem

1) O fato de termos uma inteligência que se destaca das demais e o mesmo o modo como as nossas inteligências se inter-relacionam acabam por indicar um estilo de vida e um estilo de trabalho distintos.

2) Todos somos potencialmente talentosos, mas de maneiras diferentes.

3) Toda pessoa tem seu estilo de aprendizagem, de trabalho e temperamento preferidos.

Reto de Lectura Rory Gilmore

Sé que llego tarde a este reto de lectura pero nunca me había animado a tomarlo, lo descubrí hace años no recuerdo donde y ahora que me topé con el de nuevo en  BlackWhite Read Books y queria intentarlo.

Gilmore Girls fue una gran parte de mi adolescencia vi todos los capítulos más de una vez y me identificaba con Rory, su amor por la lectura y su vida cotidiana, es una serie que siempre vivirá en mi corazón y es más que una serie para mí, me enseño muchas cosas y me ayudo con muchas más.

El reto de lectura consiste en leer todos los libros que Rory leyó a lo largo de la serie, los cuales son muchos, entre ellos existen muchos clásicos como Alicia en el País de las Maravillas y El Diario de Anna Frank, la mayoría de libros en esta lista no están siquiera en mi lista TBR la cual es otra de las razones por las que quiero intentarlo, la lista consiste de 339 libros por lo que no me pondré propósitos irreales como leerlos todos durante este año (2016), en dos años o en cinco, simplemente me propondré terminar esta lista algún día y divertirme con ella.

Marcare mi progreso en este post y quizá haga una reseña de ellos, los mencione en mis libros del mes o en GoodReads pero primordialmente será aquí.
