I don't have the time to create an engine from scratch. I've already spent over 6 years getting to where I am, I don't need to add another decade of time to my workload.
Malon should not be recruitable in the current version, that that in itself is a bug too.
The volume of crashes seems to vary from person to person, but they are not uncommon. Posting a crash log on the bug forums might be able to help me figure out what went wrong on your end: Twcenter.net
You have to kill enemy units to supply your graveyards with corpses to raise.
Crash logs might help point me to what's going on. I recommend posting them in the bug forums: Twcenter.net
Whenever they have all the modding tools I need to do it exist. At the moment a lot of features in HTW has can't be modded into Warhammer, such as a custom campaign map.
The Twili have not gone through any overhauls yet, there are still a few other factions scheduled to undergo updates before them. This recent version focuses almost entirely on Labrynna and the Fairies.
The Twili shouldn't be causing crashes left and right, though they are still considered incomplete at the moment.
You don't need 4.3.
Moddb decided that no one can delete and remove older outdated files anymore for some reason.
Not to my knowledge.
The Herald of Seasons is still technically in the game, take a peek at a Fairy General.
The Faction selection screen crash is actually native to Medieval 2. I've actually found a way to solve the issue and it will be in the next version of the game. I can walk you through a way to fix it if you can't wait for the next version to come out. As for the other crashes, a Crash Log posted on the bug forums might be able to help me determine what went wrong. The file is called M2TW.system.log.txt and can be found in Steam\SteamApps\common\Medieval II Total War\logs
The bug forums can be found here: Twcenter.net
Have you tried changing from Shadow Stance to Death Stance?
If you're using the CD version that location you listed is the correct one. I'm not sure why sound won't work for you. Maybe go into the options menu and see if the volume is set to zero for whatever reason.
Does the game crash or continue to stay frozen?
For me personally it takes about a minute for the loading screen to show up after I choose a faction in the freeform campaign.
Could you send me a crash log? I'm assuming you are using the CD version, it can be found in C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\logs. The file is called M2TW.system.log.txt
What method are you using to run mods? Are you using procedure#1 at this link? Forums.totalwar.com
Hyrule Historia missions were removed a few versions back, they became incompatible after massive faction overhauls, what with units getting gutted and added in. They need to be updated and I've not had the time.
After you deleted everything, did you reinstall in this order:
4.0 > Hotfix > 4.1 > 4.3 ?
This is what baffles me, it seems to work completely fine for you (other than the main menu background), but then someone else has massive problems getting it to work... but their main menu is fine. It's like the game functions completely differently for each and every person.
4.0 > hotfix > 4.1 > 4.2 in that order.
The next version I release will just be a brand new installation.
You said this was dead over 6 months ago and there's been releases since then. Why the heck are you floating around a mod you think is dead for over 6 months?
1. Did you perhaps select the freeform campaign first, then go to custom battles? There's a weird bug with Medieval 2 where if you go to one mode, and then back to another the game crashes.
2. I could never get the battle editor to work, even in Medieval 2.
3. The mod went through a pretty massive overhaul in the last year, lots of units were added and removed and some factions were axed and replaced. A lot of the old Historical Battle missions became incompatible and I've not had time to go through them all and update them yet.
4. I've not had time to update all of the old models for the other incarnations of Princess Zelda. Link not being in custom battles for the Kingdom of Hyrule might be a bug.
The large amount of tree models in the forest areas is probably slowing the frame rate a bit.
I recommend doing a clean install of the mod. The proper order is:
4.0 > Hotfix > 4.1
If you are using the Steam version of Medieval 2, try Procedure#1 at this link to get mods to run: Forums.totalwar.com
What he's asking is reasonable, he might just not be aware that I don't have the number of people working on this mod that a mod like Third Age has.
4.1 doesn't add any new playable factions, it adds two factions to the campaign map that you can assimilate into your empire. Did the campaign selection screen crash on you immediately or after you cycled through factions?
I still get quite a few crash reports from players every day, most of them seem to be related to the campaign and siege battles. Custom Battles are still in the game, and they probably are the most stable part of the game at the moment. Hopefully I'll be able to keep making the game more polished.
This might help: Forums.totalwar.com
Try out procedure #1
You got it right, 4.0, then Hotfix, than 4.1.

Pedophiles and Popes
Doing the Vatican Shuffle
When Pope John Paul II was still living in Poland as Cardinal Karol Wojtyla, he claimed that the security police would accuse priests of sexual abuse just to hassle and discredit them (New York Times, 3/28/10). For Wojtyla, the Polish pedophilia problem was nothing more than a communist plot to smear the church. By the early 1980s, Wojtyla, now ensconced in Rome as Pope John Paul II, treated all stories about pedophile clergy as little more than slander directed against the church. That remained his stance for the next 20 years.
Today in post-communist Poland, clerical abuse cases have been surfacing very slowly. Writing in the leading daily Gazeta Wyborcza, a middle-aged man reported having been sexually abused as a child by a priest. He acknowledged, however, that Poland was not prepared to deal with such transgressions. "It's still too early.... Can you imagine what life would look like if an inhabitant of a small town or village decided to talk? I can already see the committees of defense for the accused priests."
While church pedophiles may still enjoy a safe haven in Poland and other countries where the clergy are above challenge, things are breaking wide open elsewhere.
Protecting the Perpetrators
As everyone now knows, for decades church superiors repeatedly chose to ignore complaints about pedophile priests. In many instances, accused clerics were quietly bundled off to distant congregations where they could prey anew upon the children of unsuspecting parishioners. This practice of denial and concealment has been so consistently pursued in diocese after diocese, nation after nation, as to leave the impression of being a deliberate policy set by church authorities. And indeed it has been. Instructions coming directly from Rome have required every bishop and cardinal to keep matters secret. These instructions were themselves kept secret; the cover-up was itself covered up. Then, in 2002, John Paul put it in writing, specifically mandating that all charges against priests were to be reported secretly to the Vatican and hearings were to be held in camera, a procedure that directly defies state criminal codes.
Rather than being defrocked, many outed pedophile priests have been allowed to advance into well-positioned posts as administrators, vicars, and parochial school officials—repeatedly accused by their victims while repeatedly promoted by their superiors. Church spokespeople employ a vocabulary of compassion and healing—not for the victims but for the victimizers. They treat the child rapist as a sinner who confesses his transgression and vows to mend his ways. Instead of incarceration, there is repentance and absolution. While this forgiving approach might bring comfort to some malefactors, it proves to be of little therapeutic efficacy when dealing with the darker appetites of pedophiles. A far more effective deterrent is the danger of getting caught and sent to prison. Absent any threat of punishment, the perpetrator is restrained only by the limits of his own appetite and the availability of opportunities.
The tender tolerance displayed by the church hierarchy toward child rapists does not extend to other controversial clergy, such as those who:
- challenged the hierarchy in the politico-economic struggle for liberation theology
- advocated lifting the prohibitions against birth control and abortion
- proposed that clergy be allowed to marry
- presided over same-sex weddings
- are openly gay
- believe women should be ordained
- bravely called for investigations of the pedophilia problem itself
Such clergy often have their careers shut down. Some are subjected to hostile investigations by church superiors.
Church leaders seem to forget that pedophilia is a felony crime and that, as citizens of a secular state, priests are subject to its laws just like the rest of us. Clerical authorities repeatedly have made themselves accessories to the crime, playing an active role in obstructing justice, arguing in court that criminal investigations of "church affairs" violated the free practice of religion guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution—as if raping little children were a holy sacrament.
Church officials tell parishioners not to talk to state authorities. They offer no pastoral assistance to young victims and their shaken families. They do not investigate to see if other children have been victimized by the same priests. Some young plaintiffs have been threatened with excommunication or suspension from Catholic school. Church leaders impugn their credibility, even going after them with countersuits.
Responding to charges that one of his priests sexually assaulted a six-year-old boy, Cardinal Bernard Law asserted that, "The boy and his parents contributed to the abuse by being negligent." Law himself never went to prison for the hundreds of cover-ups he conducted. In 2004, with things getting too hot for him in his Boston archdiocese, Law was rescued by Pope John Paul II to head one of Rome's major basilicas, where he now lives with diplomatic immunity in palatial luxury on a generous stipend, supervised by no one but a permissive pontiff.
A judge of the Holy Roman Rota, the church's highest court, wrote in a Vatican-approved article that bishops should not report sexual violations to civil authorities. And sure enough, for years bishops and cardinals have refrained from cooperating with law enforcement authorities, refusing to release abusers' records, claiming that the confidentiality of their files came under the same legal protection as privileged communications in the confessional—a notion that has no basis in canon or secular law.
Bishop James Quinn of Cleveland even urged church officials to send incriminating files to the Vatican Embassy in Washington, DC, where diplomatic immunity would prevent the documents from being subpoenaed.
Just a Few Bad Apples
Years ago the Catholic hierarchy would insist that clerical pedophilia involved only a few bad apples and was being blown completely out of proportion. For the longest time, John Paul scornfully denounced the media for "sensationalizing" the issue. He and his cardinals (Ratzinger included) directed more fire at news outlets for publicizing the crimes than at their own clergy for committing them.
Reports released by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (one of the more honest organizations in the Catholic Church) documented the abuse committed in the United States by 4,392 priests against thousands of children between 1950 and 2002. One of every ten priests ordained in 1970 was charged as a pedophile by 2002. Another survey commissioned by the U.S. bishops found that among 5,450 complaints of sexual abuse, there were charges against at least 16 bishops. So much for a few bad apples.
Still, even as reports were flooding in from Ireland and other countries, John Paul dismissed the pedophilic epidemic as "an American problem," as if American priests were not members of his clergy or as if this made it a matter of no great moment. John Paul went to his grave in 2005 still refusing to meet with victims and never voicing any apologies or regrets regarding sex crimes and cover-ups.
With Ratzinger's accession to the papal throne as Benedict XVI, the cover-ups continued. As recently as April 2010, at Easter Mass in St. Peter's Square, Dean of the College of Cardinals Angelo Sodano assured Benedict that the faithful were unimpressed "by the gossip of the moment." One would not know that "the gossip of the moment" included thousands of investigations, prosecutions, and accumulated charges extending back over decades.
During that same Easter weekend, Cardinal Norberto Rivera Carrera, archbishop of Mexico City, declared that the public uproar was an "overreaction" incited by the doings of "a few dishonest and criminal priests."
It is remarkable how thoroughly indifferent the church bigwigs have been toward the abused children. When one of the most persistent perpetrators, Rev. John Geoghan, was forced into retirement (not jail) after 17 years and nearly 200 victims, Cardinal Law could still write him, "On behalf of those you have served well, in my own name, I would like to thank you. I understand yours is a painful situation." It is evident that Law was more concerned about the "pain" endured by Geoghan than the misery he had inflicted upon minors.
In 2001, a French bishop was convicted in France for refusing to hand over to the police a priest who had raped children. It recently came to light that a former top Vatican cardinal, Dario Castrillón, had written to the bishop, "I congratulate you for not denouncing a priest to the civil authorities. You have acted well and I am pleased to have a colleague in the episcopate who, in the eyes of history and of all the bishops in the world, preferred prison to denouncing his 'son' and priest." (The bishop actually got off with a suspended sentence.) Castrillón claimed that Pope John Paul II had authorized the letter years ago and had told him to send it to bishops around the world (New York Times, 4/22/2010).
There are many more like Cardinal Law and Cardinal Castrillón in the hierarchy, aging men who have no life experience with children and show not the slightest regard or empathy for them. They claim it is their duty to protect the "unborn child," but offer no protection to the children in their schools and parishes. The damage done to sexual victims continues to go unnoticed. The ensuing years of depression, drug addiction, alcoholism, panic attacks, sexual dysfunction, and even mental breakdown and suicide are the terrible after effects of child rape that seem to leave popes and bishops more or less unruffled.
Circling the Wagons
The Catholic hierarchy managed to convince itself that the prime victim in this dismal saga is the church. In 2010 it came to light that, while operating as John Paul's über-hit man, Pope Benedict (then Cardinal Ratzinger) had provided cover and protection to several of the worst predator priests. The scandal has moved to the pope's door—exactly where it should have been many years earlier during John Paul's reign.
The Vatican's response was predictable. The hierarchy circled the wagons to defend pope and church from outside "enemies." The cardinals and bishops railed furiously at critics who "assault" the church and, in the words of the archbishop of Paris, subject it to "a smear campaign." Benedict blamed secularism and misguided applications of Vatican 2's aggiornamento as contributing to the "context" of sexual abuse. Reform-minded liberalism made us do it, he seemed to be saying.
But this bristling Easter counterattack by the hierarchy did not play well. Church authorities came off looking like insular, arrogant elites who were unwilling to own up to a horrid situation largely of their own making.
Meanwhile the revelations continued. A bishop in Ireland resigned, admitting he had covered up child abuse cases. Bishops in Germany and Belgium stepped down after confessing to charges that they themselves had abused minors. And new allegations were arising in Chile, Norway, Brazil, Italy, France, and Mexico. Then, a fortnight after Easter, the Vatican appeared to change course and for the first time issued a directive urging bishops to report abuse cases to civil authorities "if required by local law." At the same time, Pope Benedict held brief meetings with survivor groups and issued sympathetic statements about their plight.
For many of the victims, the pontiff's overtures and apologies were too little, too late. Their feeling was that if the Vatican really wanted to make amends, it should cooperate fully with law enforcement authorities and stop obstructing justice; it should ferret out abusive clergy and not wait until cases are publicized by others; and it should make public the church's many thousands of still secret reports on priests and bishops.
In the midst of all this, some courageous clergy do speak out. At a Sunday mass in a Catholic church outside Springfield, Massachusetts, the Rev. James Scahill delivered a telling sermon to his congregation: "We must personally and collectively declare that we very much doubt the veracity of the pope and those of church authority who are defending him. It is beginning to become evident that for decades, if not centuries, church leadership covered up the abuse of children and minors to protect its institutional image and the image of priesthood.... The abusive priests," Scahill went on, were "felons." He had "severe doubt" about the Vatican's claims of innocent ignorance. "If by any slimmest of chance the pope and all his bishops didn't know—they all should resign on the basis of sheer and complete ignorance, incompetence, and irresponsibility."
How did Father Scahill's suburban Catholic parishioners receive his scorching remarks? One or two walked out. The rest gave him a standing ovation.
Michael Parenti's latest book is God and His Demons (2010) which deals with all sorts of theocratic misconduct and misbelief.

Depending on how you judge such things, the Big 12 either had a great year in sending seven teams to the NCAA Tournament and finishing first in all the relevant computer rankings, or a miserable one, propelling just two teams to the Sweet Sixteen and missing out on the Elite Eight and beyond entirely for the third straight season. As we’ve said for some time now, it’s silly to let NCAA Tournament results determine your assessment, but the hive mind will continue to pick at the conference’s March shortcomings until the Big 12 breaks through. The good news for the league, though, is that the top teams appear to be retaining most of their best players, and Kansas, Iowa State, Texas and Baylor are still in the running for some of the nation’s top prep talents as well as a handful of graduate transfers who could step in and make immediate impacts. Add it all up and the league should be poised to take a step forward in 2015-16. Here’s how we see things shaking out next season.
- Key Departures: Kelly Oubre, Cliff Alexander
- Key Returnees: Perry Ellis, Wayne Selden, Frank Mason, Devonte’ Graham, Landen Lucas, Brannen Greene, Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk
- New Arrivals: Carlton Bragg
- Summer Storyline: The Jayhawks in a down year still won the Big 12, but last year illuminated how vulnerable they are when they don’t have an elite rim-protector inside. To that end, Kansas could really use the services of 6’10” Charlotte transfer Mike Thorne, a physical, productive post threat on both ends of the floor. Bill Self’s program also remains in the running for highly-touted recruits Cheick Diallo, Malik Newman and Jaylen Brown.
2. Iowa State
- Key Departures: Bryce Dejean-Jones, Dustin Hogue
- Key Returnees: Georges Niang, Monte’ Morris, Naz Long, Jameel McKay, Abdel Nader
- New Arrivals: Hallice Cooke, Deonte Burton (transfer)
- Summer Storyline: Between the annual rumors of Fred Hoiberg leaving for the NBA and Iowa State’s presence on the transfer market, the summer is always a busy time but this offseason has already been more dramatic than usual. St. John’s poaching of top Iowa State assistant Matt Abdelmassih could hurt the Cyclones more than many seem to be noticing. He already flipped former JuCo signee Darien Williams to the Red Storm, and Iowa State’s chances of landing Cheick Diallo, for whom Abdelmassih was the lead recruiter, also took a serious hit. Despite those recruiting challenges, the Cyclones will return most of their offensively gifted core, but questions will remain on defense. Read the rest of this entry »

Empower Your Manufacturing Journey with ERP
Manufacturing is a complex and dynamic industry with multiple moving parts, making it challenging to manage operations effectively. However, with the implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, manufacturers now have a powerful tool at their disposal to streamline their processes and gain control over their operations. In this blog, we will explore how ERP transforms manufacturing processes, helping businesses overcome the chaos and achieve better control, efficiency, and profitability. We will delve into the key features, benefits, and best practices of implementing ERP in manufacturing, showcasing real-world examples of how ERP has revolutionized the industry. So, if you’re looking to optimize your manufacturing operations and take your business to the next level, read on to discover the transformative power of ERP.
Manufacturers often face various challenges, such as dysfunctional systems, manual processes, data silos, and lack of visibility across the supply chain, leading to inefficiencies, errors, and delays. However, ERP systems provide an integrated and holistic approach to manage all aspects of manufacturing, including production planning, inventory management, quality control, procurement, scheduling, financials, and more. By consolidating data, automating workflows, and providing real-time insights, ERP enables manufacturers to optimize their processes, make informed decisions, and drive operational excellence. ERP acts as a centralized hub that connects different departments, functions, and stakeholders, providing a unified view of the entire manufacturing process and facilitating seamless coordination and collaboration across the organisation.
One of the most significant advantages of implementing ERP in manufacturing is the enhanced visibility and control it provides. ERP systems offer real-time insights into various aspects of operations, including production status, inventory levels, demand forecasting, supplier performance, and financials. This comprehensive visibility allows manufacturers to proactively identify and address bottlenecks, and issues, empowering them to make data-driven decisions and optimize their operations accordingly. This effectively minimises chaos in any manufacturing organisation and is one of the main reasons organisations come to us when making the switch to an all-inclusive ERP solution. Many will have multiple systems already in place where they must be extra careful and spend a longer amount of time navigating through internal processes. We allow for greater control with the implementation of EFACS E/8 our very own solution designed for the manufacturing sector. To find out more about this you can click here.
In addition to visibility and control, ERP also enhances operational efficiency by automating manual processes and eliminating redundant tasks. ERP automates various manufacturing processes, such as order management, production scheduling, material planning, and resource allocation, reducing manual errors and accelerating processes. With ERP’s real-time data and analytics, manufacturers can optimize production planning, and improve overall equipment effectiveness. Furthermore, ERP provides advanced reporting and analytics capabilities, allowing manufacturers to monitor key performance indicators (KPIs), identify trends, and make data-driven decisions for continuous process improvement.
In conclusion, ERP is a powerful tool that can transform manufacturing processes by providing visibility, control, and operational efficiency. Manufacturers can leverage ERP to streamline their operations, optimize production, reduce costs, and enhance customer satisfaction. By automating processes, eliminating manual errors, and providing real-time insights, ERP empowers manufacturers to overcome the chaos and achieve better control over their operations, enabling them to thrive in today’s competitive manufacturing landscape.

Work in Canadian Poetry Studies: 1978
following is a hand-list of criticism on English-Canadian poetry published in 1978.
Journal articles have been summarized or abstracted, according to the requirements imposed
by the nature of the material. Full-length studies and interviews have been included
without comment. It is hoped that the list will provide students and scholars with a
reference point in the rapidly growing body of work in Canadian poetry criticism.
Devereux, E.J., introd.
George Webbers The Last of the Aborigines. Canadian
Poetry, no. 2 (Spring/Summer, 1978), 74-98.
This poem about the killing of
the Beothuks, published in St. Johns in 1851, although not a major work, is yet a
genuine, and for its time unusual, moral response to events which Webber made a serious
attempt to research. [Reproduces text of poem.]
Hughes, K.J. Oliver
Goldsmiths The Rising Village. The Lakehead University
Review, 7:2 and 8:1 & 2 (1978), 35-53.
Textual changes in
Goldsmiths poem reflect the writers shift in political consciousness from
imperialism to nationalism. The poem in its final version must be seen as a coherent
structure, and as displaying a large measure of technical strength.
Keith, W.J. The
Rising Village again. Canadian Poetry, no. 3 (Fall/Winter, 1978),
Kenneth J. Hughes argues (in Canadian
Poetry, no. 1) that Goldsmiths poem can be seen to stand on its own, apart from
its Old World relative, The Deserted Village. But Goldsmith consciously
modelled his poem on that of his great-uncle, and Hughes interpretation of it as a
strongly political undercutting of the older work is difficult to accept.
Morley, William F.E. A
soldiers progress: some military records pertaining to John Richardson, a pioneer
Canadian poet and novelist.
Canadian Poetry, no. 3 (Fall/Winter, 1978),
Richardsons military career from 1812 to 1818, mainly drawn from the War Office
Monthly Return of Services, in the Public Record Office, London.]
Zezulka, J.M. The
pastoral vision in nineteenth century Canada. Dalhousie Review, 57:2 (Summer,
In the work of Canadian narrative
poets from Goldsmith to Crawford, the vision of Canada as a restored pastoral society
functions as part of a national ethos. More recent writers invoke the vision as a
Archibald Lampman on poets and poetry. Essays on Canadian Writing,
no. 9 (Winter, 1977/78), 12-25.
Examination of Lampmans
unpublished essays indicates that his literary criticism is part of a much larger
philosophy, which is basically and radically realistic, progressive, melioristic and
moralistic, and that the fundamental idea of his literary criticism is that good
poetry assists the movement of mankind towards perfection.
Canadian Poetry in its Relation to the Poetry of England and America by
Charles G.D. Roberts. Canadian Poetry, no. 3 (Fall/ Winter, 1978),
[An edition of this previously
unpublished address, with an introduction describing the occasion upon which it was given,
and noting its significance in the development of Roberts thought.]
Campbell, Glen. The
political poetry of Louis Riel: a semiotic study. Canadian Poetry, no.
3 (Fall/Winter, 1978), 14-25.
Examination of six of Riels
mainly unpublished poems reveals patterns which indicate that Riel was a man for whom
reality was distorted by rigid dialectical reasoning.
Johnson, James F. Malcolms
Katie and Hugh and Ion: Crawfords changing narrative
vision. Canadian Poetry, no. 3 (Fall/Winter,
Crawfords optimistic faith
in the power of love to build a nation, which she affirms in Malcolms
Katie, undergoes rigorous questioning in the later, and unfinished, Hugh and Ion.
McDougall, Robert L.
D.C. Scott: the dating of the poems. Canadian Poetry, no.

Monk, Patricia. James De Mille
as mystic: a reconsideration of Behind the Veil. Canadian Poetry,
no. 3 (Fall/Winter, 1978), 38-55.
Although De Milles mystical
theories seem superficially to resemble those of the German Romantic philosopher Richter,
examination reveals that the two writers differ widely in temperament and
philosophy. Behind the Veil is not wholly successful as a poem, but it is an
interesting, even surprising, work which rewards close study.
Radu, Kenneth. Patterns of
meaning: Isabella Crawfords Malcolms Katie. Dalhousie
Review, 57:2 (Summer, 1977), 322-331.
Crawfords powerful use of
symbolism deepens and complicates the central life-versus-death conflict which this
melodramatic poem presents.
Ross, Catherine Sheldrick.
Isabella Valancy Crawford: solar mythologist. English Studies
in Canada. 4:3 (Fall, 1978),
The solar myth provides Crawford
with a structure for the working out of [her] themes of love and despair and the
purgatorial role of suffering.
____. Isabella Valancy
Crawfords Gisli the Chieftain. Canadian Poetry, no. 2
(Spring/Summer 1978), 28-37.
Crawford draws upon Icelandic,
Slavonic and Greek sources for the solar myth which informs all her work, and finds its
fullest expression in Gisli the Chieftain.

Poetry, no. 2 (Spring/Summer, 1978),
[Biographical material concerning
the relationship of Scott and the painter Edmund Morris.]
____. A source for
Duncan Campbell Scotts On the Way to the Mission. Canadian
Poetry, no. 3 (Fall/Winter, 1978), 62-64.
Comparison of Scotts poem
with Ponteach; or the Savages of America, a play by Robert Rogers, suggests
a possible source for Scotts poem, and provides a contrast which illuminates the
Strong, William. Charles
G.D. Roberts The Tantramar Revisited. Canadian Poetry, no.
3 (Fall/Winter, 1978), 26-35.
[A close analysis of The
Tantramar Revisited, expanding upon earlier critical commentary, and intending to
reinforce the accepted judgment of the poem as Roberts masterpiece.]
West, David S. Malcolms
Katie: Alfred as nihilist not rapist. Studies in Canadian Literature,
3:1 (Winter, 1978), 137-141.
Robin Mathews (in SCL, 2:1
(Winter, 1977)), interprets Alfreds rape of the unconscious Katie as
explicitly sexual. In fact, Alfred intends to carry Katie with him to the oblivion
Whitridge, Margaret Coulby.
Sarepta and the fatal fascination of the sonnet: a tribute to Edward
Brownlow. Journal of Canadian Poetry, 1:1 (Winter, 1978), 27-36.
The mystery surrounding the life
of the young Montreal poet who wrote under the pseudonym Sarepta, and who died
at the early age of 37, draws attention to Brownlows considerable talent and
production as a sonneteer.
Collins, Robert G. E.J.
Pratt: the Homeric voice. Review of National Literatures, 7 (1976),
As epic poet of an emerging
national culture, Pratt, in his subjects, style and philosophy, speaks from a mental
climate that is uniquely Canada.

Contrary to most critical
opinion, Sousters work has undergone constant evolution throughout his career.
Darling, Michael. An
interview with A.J.M. Smith. Essays on Canadian Writing, no. 9 (Winter,
Davey, Frank. Louis
Dudeks functional poetry. Rune, no. 4 (Spring, 1977),
Throughout his career,
Dudeks sense of a social duty for literature has led him to oppose theories which
separate art from life. His own poetry has developed toward a meditational mode
which opens both extraordinary and mundane experience to poetic examination.
____. Louis Dudeks
red truck. Open Letter, ser. 3, no. 9 (Fall, 1978), 71-86.
Dudeks charting of the
Modernist movement in Canada reveals a rationalist bias, which inform his criticism of
Frye and McLuhan. His championship of the anti-rationalist Souster, however, is
indicative of a paradox in his aesthetic which has played a part in shifting Canadian
poetry toward post-modernism.

The dialectical struggle between

religious affirmation of The Dumbfounding.
Post-Mortemism. Moosehead Review, 1:2 (1978), 56-62.
The post-modernist inheritors of
the poetics of Eliot and Pound, both avant-garde and academic, retreat into cynicism and
obscurantism. Many Canadian especially West Coast poets mistakenly
accept fragmentation and alienation as given, and fail to engage in a dialectic which
seeks to change the world.
Baker, Howard. Jewish
themes in the works of Irving Layton. Essays on Canadian Writing, no. 10
(Spring, 1978), 43-54.
Layton, although no theist,
revels in his Judaism, tracing his joyful sensuality to his Hebrew
roots. His mature poetry is preoccupied with Jewish history, and with concern for
the survival of the race, both in Israel and in the Diaspora.

Reflections on Canadian poetry. Review of National Literatures, 7
Canadian poetry is characterized
by its long dependence on, and its revolt against, nineteenth-century French and English
romanticism; by its experience of an isolating and hostile environment, which poets have
confronted either directly, or through myth; by the failure of the nation to achieve a
fully bilingual culture. These conditions may be seen as an initiatory stage in
development toward a fully mature national literature.

DOOM 2016, for those of you who might remember, had a multiplayer mode. It was a very bland multiplayer mode, and not at all what the game would go on to be remembered for- but it did exist. It was outsourced by id to an external developer, and while they took over it later to try and salvage it (and even did a fairly good job of it), by then, the damage was done.
Given all the information we have heard of DOOM Eternal so far- especially with its Dark Souls style invasions– you would have been forgiven for assuming the new game won’t have a traditional multiplayer mode. But it will- and what’s more, id Software will be developing it entirely in house this time around, too. Speaking to Polygon, id Software’s Marty Stratton announced that the competitive multiplayer mode from DOOM 2016 will be returning in Eternal (although he was very careful to point out that the new PvP won’t just be an extension of the one from that game), though he also noted that id isn’t ready to talk about that just yet.
“The Invasion stuff is just kind of one of the ways that we’re going to make the DOOM experience social,” Stratton said. “But we’re not really going deep into that. We are working on a PvP component. It is new. It’s not an extension of what we did last time. So it’s new.”
So that’s something to keep an eye out for, too. I wonder how id plans to do PvP better this time around. Meanwhile, we’ve also learned that the game won’t have a feature you might remember from the 2016 title, SnapMap, but will have single player DLC. DOOM Eternal launches for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. A ton of gameplay footage for the game was recently released- check it out through here.

2. The “Slapping Audio”
Would not it be wonderful if there was a sound we could make at any time to get our pet to immediately take notice of us? Well, luckily for us there is, as well as it’s called the “smacking sound”! But prior to we can harness its power, we require to show our pet that this certain audio = food.
Making the slapping sound and also offering my dog a reward
I make my smacking audio, then promptly give my pet a treat!
To do this, with your dog in a quiet area, make a smacking noise as though you were kissing the air, after that right away give him a treat. No matter what he’s doing when you give him the reward (so long as he’s not doing anything negative like tearing up the couch), the suggestion is simply to show him that whenever he listens to the noise, he obtains treats.
After doing this for some time, you must observe that your pet considers you for his treat whenever you make the sound. With continued practice, you can start making use of the slapping audio in everyday life when you want to grab your canine’s interest!
Keep in mind, however, that the slapping sound may be much less efficient at times when your pet is as well developed. For example, if he has seen something outside that he responds highly to, your sound may go undetected. One remedy for this is the “Look at That” game discovered in my Mind Training for Canines program. In “Check out That,” we will work specifically on instructing your pet dog to pay attention to the smacking noise despite solid diversions.

There are many different kinds of incentive, but food benefits are one of the most common. These rewards are offered to a pet dog whenever he effectively executes a particular action. So allow’s state we simply began educating our canine to “sit” for the very first time. When he rests efficiently, we would certainly award his initiative by sliding him a doggy biscuit or piece of kibble. Currently, the next time we ask him to sit, he will be eager to do so because he knowsthat he will certainly obtain something delicious in return!
In the Mind Training for Pets program I cover strategies which allow you to stop offering your pet a reward whenever he successfully performs a specific activity, as well as also present other forms of reward.
4. Reward Volunteer Check-ins
Rewarding a volunteer check-in
I compensate my pet dog for willingly checking in on me in the yard.
When you are out in the yard with your canine, how commonly does he take note of you? More than likely, not quite, as he’s far as well active checking out the globe with his effective sniffer. Perhaps it’s time for a little modification …
Make it a behavior when you are out in the yard to bring along some high-value treats (e.g. plain cooked hen pieces). Keep these deals with convenient in a pocket or deal with bag. Currently each time your dog happens to stroll within arm’s reach of you, commend him as well as extend your hand to use him a reward. If you do this commonly enough, favorable reinforcement will certainly function its magic and you’ll soon notice your dog checking in with you a growing number of. This is great news, due to the fact that it suggests he is finding out that you are worthy of his focus!
5. Right Place, Correct Time
Choosing to start educating sessions at the right area and time can play a big role in whether or not your pet has the ability to take note. How To Train A Dog Not To Pee In Crate
It’s ideal to stay clear of training your canine when you initially return from job as well as he is all anxious as well as thrilled to greet you, or when he’s all hyped up and also jumping off the walls after nourishment. Instead, wait until your canine is calmer and more with the ability of focusing, and use these times to your advantage.
You may also wish to avoid training a new actions in a setting where there are great deals of distracting sights, seems, and also smells (e.g. the lawn), as this makes it harder for your pet to stay focused on you. Instead, try training in a silent space in the beginning. It’s also a great suggestion to prevent areas with windows if your pet is quickly sidetracked by things he sees outdoors.

Billie Eilish is no stranger to living by the beat of her own drum.
The singer unwittingly broke into the music scene in 2016. At just 13, she and older brother Finneas wrote and produced "Ocean Eyes," which was only shared to Soundcloud at the request of Billie's dance teacher because he wanted to choreograph a routine to it. But when the siblings woke up the next day, "Ocean Eyes" had gone viral and within months Billie was signed to Interscope Records.
Come Sunday, March 14, she stands to add four more awards to her already impressive collection. At last year's ceremony, Billie swept the four most major categories, making her the first female and second-ever artist to win Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best New Artist in the same night. (For the record, the teen also took home Best Pop Vocal Album.)
But her breathtaking harmonies and distinctive artistic vision aren't the only factors that set Billie apart.
In an effort to dismantle archaic conversations surrounding women's bodies, Billie has made a point to decidedly set her own standards for the apparel she prefers. Consistently sporting baggier streetwear style, the singer carries on a tradition that originated with Black female artists in the 90s, and expands on it in her own way.
The "Bad Guy" artist consistently collabs with iconic fashion brands like Louis Vuitton and Gucci, and is regularly reinventing a new look without fear of what people might think. Her creativity is irrefutable and it makes sense why fans are noticing.
Keep in mind, she's accomplished all of this in a few short years. For some of her most iconic looks so far, take a look below.

With the development of the Internet, everyone can become a boss. Yet, there are a lot of things you have to pay attention to before becoming a boss. You might not be aware of them, so that is why we are here to share the characteristics of establishing an unlimited company.
Must you start a company to do business?
According to the Business Registration Ordinance, to engage in any form of business, business registration is required within one month from the start of business. If you operate a business with an average monthly income of less than HKD10,000, you are eligible to apply for exemption of business registration fees and levies. If you do not apply for an exemption or if your business’ average monthly income exceeds HKD10,000 but has no registered business registration, the maximum penalty is a fine of HKD5,000 and imprisonment for 1 year.
Advantages of Unlimited Companies
Compared to limited companies, the operating cost and tax rate of unlimited companies are relatively low. For example, unlimited companies do not need to submit annual returns to the Companies Registry, nor does it require auditing, as long as it makes regular accounting and tax returns. Due to their low cost and simple operation methods, unlimited companies are often established by novices and beginners to the business world.
Disadvantages of Unlimited Companies
As unlimited companies are legally not independent persons, shareholders of an unlimited company will have to bear full responsibility for that company. That is to say, if an unlimited company owes debt, the company’s shareholders bear responsibility in paying off the debt in question, while the creditor will even have the right to apply in court the seizure and sale of any property in the name of the proprietor.
Who can establish an unlimited company?
The qualifications and methods required when applying for an unlimited company are very simple. As long as you are the holder of a “Hong Kong Resident Identity Card” or a “Hong Kong Permanent Resident Identity Card”, you are already eligible to establish an unlimited company.
Procedures for Establishing an Unlimited Company
Applicants should go to the Commercial Registration Office on the fourth floor of the Revenue Tower to apply for business registration. There are one-year and three-year deadlines for application. Because the government sometimes exempts business registration certification fees, applicants may have to endure a lengthy period of time and difficult procedures required for the refund of paid fees. Therefore, we recommend applying for a one-year deadline in application. Applicants will need to bring their own HKID card, while the final step is payment.
The Cost of Operating an Unlimited Company
Generally speaking, in terms of government fees, unlimited companies only need to pay business registration fees every year. In addition, regarding tax filing, unlimited companies are not required to have an audited account for submission to the Inland Revenue Department. Tax returns for unlimited companies (Form BIR60 for sole proprietorships, Form BIR52 for partnership companies) only require additional documents of simple credits and debits, as well as a profit statement with the year’s net profit and loss calculated for it to be submitted to the IRD.
The method of establishing an unlimited company is simple and the cost is relatively low. However, the liability of shareholders is large. That is why you should think twice before going to the bank to take out a loan for business expansion. Additionally, since unlimited companies are not legal entities, some contracts may not recognize unlimited companies. Therefore, it can be considered a good chance for novice entrepreneurs to try starting a business and learn the ropes.
