Helen Gurr

[thatscarletflycatcher]

"Nearly beat a man to death"

Stroke him ONCE because the guy wouldn't leave him alone, and the injury was so slight that everyone believed he just had had a fall. The cold is the worst he got, and that because he refused Markham's help when he retraced his steps to take him home.

"For no reason" Laurence spent weeks goading Markham before that day where he very much decided it was again "fun messing with this dumb peasant even if he clearly wants me to leave him alone" hours.

Markham is jealous, but also angry because the rumors imply Helen is a kept woman. It isn't just "gurr, gurr, pretty lady prefers another" but "asshole who could marry her keeps her as a mistress and drags her to an old, uncomfortable hall in a town full of malicious gossip." And for that there is little to no reason other than holding power over her. And Laurence does *nothing* to dispel this notion... apparently because he just likes to put Markham down for being about one step of the ladder below him socially (he will keep doing this to the end of the novel).

The point of Markham's character in the novel is that when Helen sets up boundaries with him, he respects them, unlike Borham, Huntingdon, and Hargrave, and also unlike them, what draws him to Helen is that she is an intelligent, spiritual, strong woman, and not an inflatable doll.

I'm not saying Gilbert was right in what he did, he is presented to us as a hot headed young man who did good things and also very stupid things... but the narrator is an older version of himself confessing it all to someone else. The wrongness that transpires to us is acknowledged by the character himself. And in any case, people for some reason talk about this scene in general as if Gilbert had been stalking Laurence to beat the shit out of him instead of... him pointedly avoiding, ignoring, and politely telling Laurence to leave him alone.

Anne Bronte fans will go on about how feminist Tenant of Wildfell Hall is when Helen ends up with GILBERT FUCKING MARKHAM who, nearly beat a man to death for no reason and with no remorse out of unfounded jealousy for Helen. I could not detect a hint of irony in this I’m pretty sure Helen x Gilbert is supposed to be the happy ending couple. I think Helen & Gilbert is worse than Jane Eyre & Mr Rochester because at least Mr Rochester’s funny.

Threats to global food security from emerging fungal crop pathogens

Amongst the world's most challenging problems is the need to feed an ever-growing global population sustainably. Securing the food supply is of paramount importance, and more attention must be given to the threat from fungal pathogens competing with us for our own crops. We need to raise awareness of this fact across all of society—from politicians to the general public. Research at the University of Exeter has a strong emphasis on understanding fungal plant disease and in developing new ways to protect our crops. In a new article, published in Nature Food this week, led by Professor Sarah Gurr and Dr. Helen Fones (UKRI Fellow), a consortium of world-leading Exeter-based fungal researchers has merged their expertise to highlight the threat of fungal disease for our food security. Professor Gurr said: "Over the past centuries, crop diseases have led to the starvation of the people, the ruination of economies and the downfall of governments. "Today, the threat to plants of fungal infection outstrips that posed by bacterial and viral diseases combined. "Indeed, fungal and oomycete diseases have been increasing in severity and scale since the mid 20th Century and now pose a very serious threat to global food security. "We face a future blighted by known adversaries, by new variants of old foes and by new diseases. "Modern agricultural intensification practices have heightened this challenge. "Moreover, climate change compounds the saga as we see altered disease demographics—pathogens are on the move, as shown so elegantly by Professor Dan Bebber and Ph.D. student Tom Chaloner (co-authors)." Dr. Helen Fones said: "Our review looks to the future; summarizing our main challenges and knowledge gaps, and highlighting the research needed to face the threat of emerging crop pathogens. "We consider this challenge in terms of both the crops essential for providing calories and those commodities that fuel global trade and the global economy that we rely upon. "We show that in this increasingly interconnected world we must be prepared, with more robust agricultural systems, to weather pathogen outbreaks that might impact food production either in individual countries or around the globe. "From writing the article to its publication, COVID-19 has arisen and demonstrated how deeply affected we can all be by outbreaks of new pathogens. "This reminds us that we need to make agriculture less reliant on fungicides which are also used to treat fungal infections in humans, as this can lead to resistance moving from agricultural to clinical settings (as highlighted in an article in Science in 2018, authored by Sarah Gurr, with Mat Fisher from Imperial College). "Here, we discuss the need for new fungicides, especially ones that have complex modes of action, and are harder for the pathogen to develop resistance to." But not all is "doom and gloom" as illustrated in recent work, led by co-author Professor Gero Steinberg. In a recent publication in the journal Nature Communications, Exeter scientists described the development of a new fungicide, which holds the potential to help protect our food crops against fungal pathogens. Professor Steinberg said: "The challenge of fungal crop diseases is enormous. "With the help of the BBSRC and the University of Exeter, Sarah Gurr's and my research group are following a dual strategy: to raise awareness, illustrated by this article in Nature Food, and also to develop new 'weapons' in our fight to secure global food security."

Press release: Industry-led Retail Sector Council launched to act as champion for future growth has been published on Energy Solutions News

New Post has been published on http://www.energybrokers.co.uk/news/press-release/press-release-industry-led-retail-sector-council-launched-to-act-as-champion-for-future-growth

Press release: Industry-led Retail Sector Council launched to act as champion for future growth

The new industry-led Council will seek to encourage growth and positive change in the sector as it adapts to rapidly changing consumer habits.

The first industry-led Retail Sector Council was officially launched today (7 March 2018) by Retail Minister Andrew Griffiths and Richard Pennycook, Chairman of Fenwick, The Hut Group and Howden Joinery Group.

The Council will meet regularly with industry to discuss the challenges the sector faces. They will review how best retailers could adapt to changing consumer behaviour, the business environment and opportunities such as the development of new technologies to improve customer service, the chances to grow skills through a sector push on high-value training and ways to boost sector productivity and its economic health.

Senior management from Boots, Amazon and other renowned retailers will sit on the Council as well as the British Retail Consortium. Together, with government, they will provide expert advice to the sector and contribute to its future direction.

Retail Minister Andrew Griffiths said:

The UK’s retail sector is undergoing rapid structural changes with consumers increasingly favouring online shopping and rising operating costs for retailers.

Our new collaborative Retail Sector Council will bring government and industry together to look at how best to ensure the industry adapts to meet the changing demands of consumers.

Richard Pennycook, co-chair of the Retail Sector Council:

I am delighted to be co-chairing the first Retail Sector Council, which comes at a moment of unprecedented change for our sector. Retail is one of the largest private sector employers in the country, and the Council will provide strategic oversight of the challenges we are facing by seeking positive change and increased productivity.

“We will be working together with industry and government to deliver our vision for the future of retail.

The UK’s retail sector is a driving force in the economy and essential to our high streets, local and regional communities. The formation of the council follows other government action to create a Britain fit for the future including the government’s response to the independent Taylor Review, which ensures employment law and practices keep pace with the modern ways of working, and its ambitious Industrial Strategy which sets out a long term plan to boost the productivity and earning power of businesses and people throughout the UK.

In 2016, the retail sector added a gross value of £94.6 billion to the UK economy; the new Council will aim to address key sector issues including skills and increasing productivity.

На эти фестивали съезжаются звезды электронной и хип-хоп музыки со всего мира. starsecret.com.ua расскажет о 10 концертах под открытым небом, которые стоит посетить этим летом.1. Морской Her Damit Festival Музыкальный фестиваль Her Damit впервые пройдет не на острове Рюген. Новое место пока держится в секрете. «В 50 км от Берлина», — пишут организаторы. На фотографии посетители фестиваля в 2013 году отдыхают на самом большом немецком острове. В 2017 году Her Damit пройдет с 9 по 11 июня. Стоимость билетов: 84 евро.

2. Ритмичный Kosmonaut Festival Четыре года назад музыканты группы Kraftklub создали собственный небольшой фестиваль в Хемнице.

Стоимость билетов: от 49 до 83 евро без кемпинга.

3. Молодой Stil vor Talent Одноименный фестиваль лейбла Оливера Колецки (Oliver Koletzki) Stil vor Talent в этом году с 3 июня по 2 июля пройдет в трех городах: Брауншвейге, Берлине и Гамбурге. Стоимость билетов: от 18 до 28 евро.

Все билеты на фестиваль уже проданы.

6. Скандальная Lollapalooza В 2017 году организаторы легендарного Lollapalooza снова выбрали необычную площадку. Ипподром Хоппегартен сущестует с 1868 года.
