![]() It may be childhood nostalgia, it may be the cholesterol, but this is one of the few meals left that still feels like a treat every time. ![]() So pile on all the condiments, chuck in some mushy peas, some pickled wallys, bread and butter, a battered saveloy. No more having to eyeball the rack and work out if that haddock really did come out of the fryer two minutes ago. No more waiting on the counter going stale. The pandemic has another unintended, wholly-positive side-effect: the lack of demand for fish and chips means that every single fillet of fish, every single golden chip, is being fried fresh to order. For this, it is imperative that the chippy be within 5-10 minutes of home, within the radius of the one government-mandated walk per day. The existence of great local fish and chips shops acknowledges a truth: The best way to consume fish and chips is ideally lounging horizontally, watching something bad on TV. ![]() Whole areas of London - Muswell Hill, Brockwell, Bromley - dine out on one good fish and chip shop that locals can proudly claim as their own. Fish and chips is home food it’s food that feeds a community. But the scarcity of great fish and chip shops in the centre is also proof that no Londoner has ever found themselves there, thinking: “I’d love some fish and chips right now”. That London’s fish and chip scene can’t compete with those in the north of England, Scotland, or the coastal towns where salty chips and saline air provide an experience tethered to geography is obvious. It’s time to have an honest conversation about the London chippy.

![]() Looking south down the gently sloping ground was the TOW Humvee, parked on the ramp. The command post was a sunken space about two feet deep, no larger than a big conference table, framed by Dzwik’s Humvee, a line of HESCOs, and the outer mud wall of a structure built to house the village bazaar. ![]() When Captain Myer arrived, on the fourth day, he was impressed by what had been accomplished but could see that the position was far from secure.Īll of the fighting positions were makeshift. Gradually, as the stunted HESCOs were filled and as shallow excavations were chipped out, the position improved and Dzwik found himself hating it a little less. ![]() There were just too many places for the enemy to hide.ĭespite the precarious position the platoon now occupied, Dzwik had been forced to slow construction of defenses because of the extreme heat and limited water supplies. It was as if Wanat were staring right down at them. Where the land sloped uphill to the northeast there was a bazaar and a mosque, together with other village buildings. The battalion headquarters could not provide the Wanat outpost with steady, overhead visual surveillance because of weather and limited availability of drones. The ground dipped down just outside the perimeter, to a creek and to the road. There were also dead zones all around it where you couldn’t see. It wasn’t just that the outpost sat at the bottom of a giant bowl. The men had felt vulnerable in these first days. In the interim, the platoon itself had begun building the outpost’s preliminary defenses, toiling in 100-degree-plus heat with limited water and resources, hacking away at the baked, stubborn soil with picks and shovels, stringing razor wire, and filling the HESCOs as best they could-the Bobcat could not reach high enough to dump earth into the frames, so they had been cut down to just four feet. A small force of Afghan contractors with heavy equipment were to handle most of the construction, but they had been delayed, awaiting the completion of a road-clearing mission. After consultations with Myer and the battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel William Ostlund, Brostrom had drawn up detailed maps of the new outpost on whatever scraps of paper he could find so that he could show his men sectors of fire for all of the vehicles, the placement of the claymore mines, and the location of fighting positions, the latrine, and everything else. He wore his dark-brown hair, as other soldiers did, in a buzz cut high and tight. He had sketched out a basic plan for the outpost, and then left supervision of the construction to First Lieutenant Jonathan Brostrom, a cocky, muscular, and popular 24-year-old platoon leader from Hawaii. They had first occupied it in darkness, in a driving rain, just three days earlier. Second Platoon was part of Myer’s Chosen Company, the “Chosen Few,” who wore patches on their uniforms displaying a stylized skull fashioned after the insignia of the Marvel-comic-book character “Punisher.” Twenty-first-century America had staked its claim to this combat outpost in Wanat, punctiliously negotiating the lease of a piece of ground from village landlords. You needed something like a graduate degree in geopolitics and strategy to have any idea why it was worth dying for. In Wanat it was easy to feel that you were hunkered down on the far edge of nowhere, fighting the only people in the world who seemed to badly want the place. This battalion HQ was just five miles away in the fish-eye lens of a high-flying drone, but on the ground it was a perilous journey of about an hour-perilous because ambushes and improvised explosives were common. ![]() A single partially paved road wound south toward Camp Blessing, the headquarters for Task Force Rock, Second Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade. It was home to about 50 families, who carved out a spare existence on a series of green, irrigated terraces. Wanat was at the confluence of the Waygal River and a small tributary. Jagged mountains, reaching as high as 25,000 feet, tower over V-shaped valleys that angle sharply down to winding rivers. Wanat lies high in the Hindu Kush at the southern edge of Nuristan Province, in Afghanistan’s rugged Northeast. Myer and Second Platoon, one of three platoons under his command scattered in these mountains, were at war in a place as distant from America’s consciousness as it was simply far away. It was 20 minutes after four in the morning. It is safe to assume that the original draft of this, afterwards maybe enlarged by his pupil and copyist, Ælfric Bata, was by Ælfric, and represents what his own scholar days were like.Ī third series of homilies, the Lives of the Saints ( hagiography), dates from 996 to 997. Finally, his Colloquy was intended to help students to learn how to speak Latin through a conversation manual. In his glossary the words are not in alphabetical order, but grouped by topics. In his Grammar, he translated the Latin grammar into English, creating what is considered the first vernacular Latin grammar in medieval Europe. Īfter the two series of homilies, he wrote three works to help students learn Latin – the Grammar, the Glossary and the Colloquy. ![]() Ælfric of Eynsham also denied the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary. ii.262 seq.) was appealed to by the Protestant Reformation writers as a proof that the early English church did not hold the Roman doctrine of transubstantiation. Ælfric's teaching on the Eucharist in the Canons and in the Sermo de sacrificio in die pascae (ibid. The first series of forty homilies is devoted to plain and direct exposition of the chief events of the Christian year the second deals more fully with church doctrine and history. He may also have translated the Pseudo-Basilian Admonition to a Spiritual Son. John Earle ( Anglo-Saxon Literature, 1884) thinks he aimed at correcting the apocryphal, and to modern ideas superstitious, teaching of the earlier Blickling Homilies. In the preface to the first volume he regrets that, except for Alfred's translations, Englishmen had no means of learning the true doctrine as expounded by the Latin fathers. (The series were edited by Benjamin Thorpe and published in 1844–1846 for the Ælfric Society and edited more recently by Malcolm Godden and Peter Clemoes for the Early English Text Society.) The Latin preface to the first series enumerates some of Ælfric's authorities, the chief of whom was Gregory the Great, but the short list by no means exhausts the authors whom he consulted. It was at Cerne, and partly at the desire, it appears, of Æthelweard, that he planned the two series of his English homilies, compiled from the Christian fathers, and dedicated to Sigeric, Archbishop of Canterbury from 990 to 994. Æthelmaer and his father Æthelweard were both enlightened patrons of learning, and became Ælfric's faithful friends. This date (987) is one of only two certain dates we have for Ælfric, who was then in priest's orders. Ælfric no doubt gained some reputation as a scholar at Winchester, for when, in 987, the abbey of Cerne (at Cerne Abbas in Dorset) was finished, he was sent by Bishop Ælfheah ( Alphege), Æthelwold's successor, at the request of the chief benefactor of the abbey, the ealdorman Æthelmær the Stout, to teach the Benedictine monks there. He seems to have actually taken part in the teaching activities of the abbey. ![]() ![]() Æthelwold had carried on the tradition of Dunstan in his government of the abbey of Abingdon, then in Berkshire, and at Winchester he continued his strenuous support for the English Benedictine Reform. Ælfric was educated in the Benedictine Old Minster at Winchester under Saint Æthelwold, who was bishop there from 963 to 984. Another copy of the text, without lavish illustrations but including a translation of the Book of Judges, is found in Oxford, Bodleian Library, Laud Misc. Ælfric was responsible for the preface to Genesis as well as some of its translations. The Tower of Babel, from an illustrated English manuscript (11th century) in the British Library, containing some Latin excerpts from the Hexateuch. ![]() All we care for, at the end of the day, is the long-lasting ability of a product.

Martin.Īs for the scenario where you’ve stayed up all night swigging coffee and maybe not enough water, it’s hard to tell if dehydration and lack of sleep-also big headache triggers- are causing your ouch. “A lot of the time you can feel better if you just eat something,” says Dr. Especially if you had only coffee and haven’t eaten in awhile, your problem may not be too little caffeine, but that the caffeine you had is preventing your brain from getting energy. The first thing is to try and figure out if your pounding cranium is, in fact, due to caffeine withdrawal. How to treat a caffeine withdrawal headache: Because certain of your nerve cells fire differently, he says, it might make you more sensitive to all stimuli and even lead to headaches.Īll that to say, if caffeine withdrawal is not your problem, caffeine (especially if it is a migraine trigger for you) may make it worse. That’s why so many of us dose when we need to be especially sharp, and cut back if we have trouble sleeping. “Caffeine activates the part of the nervous system that makes us more keen-like a mini Ritalin,” says Dr. The other thing caffeine does-and why it’s pretty much universally worshipped-is that it hyper-focuses you, by influencing the way nerve cells fire. “A lot of people just drink coffee for breakfast, which is the exact opposite of what you want to do,” says Dr. That’s why if you swig an XL Dunkin' for breakfast without eating anything, you’re liable to feel shaky and nervous and possibly headachy-your brain isn’t getting the energy it needs to function properly. Caffeine affects energy metabolism in the brain, by blocking the cells from taking up the glucose it uses for fuel. ![]() That’s because the narrowing of blood vessels isn’t the only thing caffeine does to the brain, says Dr. Martin.īut here’s where it gets tricky: Caffeine can also trigger a headache or a migraine. “A little caffeine and, say, an ant-inflammatory like ibuprofen, can help-the caffeine enhances the effect,” says Dr. In fact, some over-the-counter headache medicines even contain caffeine. So if you’re jonesing for your caffeine fix, can having a cup of coffee or tea make a headache, especially one caused by caffeine withdrawal, feel better? Yes, sometimes. A larger proportion of regular caffeine drinkers reported feeling worse after the surgery than those who were not, which researchers attributed at least in part to caffeine withdrawal. There hasn’t been a lot of research on caffeine withdrawal in recent years, but an older study looked at people who had a scheduled surgery and were asked not to eat or drink anything after midnight the previous day-in other words, they awoke from their procedure hours after they’d normally have had their morning brew. Caffeine withdrawal headaches sometimes happen on the weekend or around the holidays, when you sleep in and maybe don’t sip until a few hours after you would on a weekday. Symptoms of a caffeine withdrawal headache include persistent throbbing head pain that can hit when you either take in of lot more caffeine than you normally do, or when you are a regular drinker, but for whatever reason don’t get your cuppa promptly. But it could be that you’re having a caffeine withdrawal headache. There are many things that can trigger headaches and migraines-including lack of sleep and dehydration, both of which may also be factors if you’ve been pushing yourself. Maybe it happens first thing in the morning before you’ve staggered to the Keurig, or possibly the day after you pulled an all-nighter (aided by a couple of ventis and maybe a Coke Zero) and got your assignment done just under the wire. That distinct throbbing in your noggin that no amount of temple massaging takes away for more than a second. ![]() Regular Judiciary employees must participate in a contributory defined benefit pension plan in which they are vested after ten years.

They are ambushed by a WEC mech and two of the Silencers are killed. The Resistance is a severely outnumbered and outgunned ragtag mix of disparate people: ex-WEC soldiers and employees rub elbows with political dissidents and criminals searching for pardon.Īs No Remorse opens, a team of three Silencers-enigmatic super-soldiers-are returning from a botched mission in which they disobeyed an order to fire upon civilians who were (mistakenly) believed to be rebels. The WEC is being fought by an organization calling itself the Resistance, led by former WEC colonel Quentin Maxis, promoted to general when risen to command of the group. Only an elite upper class of WEC executives have true power and wealth among these are WEC President Gauthier and Chairman Nathaniel Draygan. While the world is made to look peaceful and prosperous, the reality is that most liberties are suspended, taxes are well over 90%, military force is used mercilessly against those who dare oppose the WEC, and freedom is barely even remembered. The WEC is a tyrannical entity, on paper an economic allegiance, but in practice a type of "New World Order" dictatorship. Eventually, these continental organizations merged into the World Economic Consortium. Weapons, ammunition, credits (money), healing facilities, and other equipment are scattered through the levels, allowing the player to upgrade their arsenal.ĭue to economic downfalls, the nations of the planet Earth began gradually to organize themselves into huge economic super-conglomerates. No Regret added a handful of new maneuvers to the original game, including the ability to dive forward, and to sidestep while crouching. The geography of the setting encourages the use of tactics and combinations of moves in order to hit the targets effectively with the minimum possible loss of resources. Most of the environment can be destroyed by weapons fire and some traps or defenses can be manipulated for use against the enemy. The game featured an unprecedented level of setting interaction. In the PC version, the Silencer can carry no more than five firearms at once. ![]() In addition, the player cannot use keycard slots or door switches while an alarm is active. So long as the alarm is active, either a new enemy soldier will teleport into the area every few seconds or a confined servomech will be released, depending on where the player is. ![]() All locations have alarm systems which are triggered by walking into view of security cameras or destroying a secured door, and can be deactivated by using an alarm box. ![]() Settings vary from factories to military bases to offices to space stations, and contain a variety of enemy soldiers and servomechs, traps, puzzles and non-combatants (who can be killed with no penalty and their bodies can be looted for credits). The Silencer is shooting a non-combatant with two guards and a robot present.Ĭrusader is divided into missions, each with their own locations and objectives. There is, however, no evidence that anyone in ancient Rome ever used the form of the straight-arm salute that was used by the Italian Fascists and German Nazis. Various modern-day fascists and Neo-Nazis have tried to do the same thing. The Italian Fascists and the German Nazis both believed that this salute originated with the ancient Romans and tried to use the salute’s supposed Roman origins in order to bolster their own prestige and portray themselves as continuing the Roman legacy. Also, some objects were to be saluted: the Lenin Mausoleum, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, mass graves of the soldiers perished defending the Fatherland, all military banners and standards, as well as funeral processions accompanied by troops.In the 1920s, 30s, and 40s, the National Fascist Party (i.e., the PNF) in Italy and the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (i.e., the NSDAP or Nazi Party) in Germany both used a salute that consisted of a straight, rigid arm raised into the air above the shoulders with the hand parallel to the rest of the arm and the palm facing toward the ground. Forgetting or, worse, refusing to salute was considered an offense and was subject to punishment. The lower ranks salute the higher ranks first. The General Order of the internal service of the Armed Forces of the USSR (1960) prescribed that all military persons must greet each other with a military salute. by the whole regiment in the presence of a general at a parade), such rule was installed: A full hand military salute is performed by the head of the military unit, while all members of the unit standing at attention, their eyes looking in the direction of the high-ranked commander. For military salutes performed massively (e.g. ![]() ![]() The aforementioned rules were largely employed in the Red Army of the USSR. Tsar Nicholas II Visiting The Russian Front, May 1915 Military salute in the USSR and the Russian Federation And never, under any circumstances, was a soldier obliged to take off his headwear – even in the presence of the Tsar. While carrying a rifle or a naked sabre, the soldiers were to put the weapon on their shoulders. Such commanders and persons included: all members of the Imperial family, generals, admirals, garrison commanders, commanders of regiments, escadrons, staff officers and also while passing by state banners and standards (flags). When the commander passes him by a step, then his hand can be lowered.”Ĭommanders of a high rank were to be saluted while standing at attention. Petersburg in 1887: “If a soldier meets a commander whom he is supposed to salute, he must put his right hand to the right side of the lower edge of his hat 4 steps before reaching the commander, so that the fingers are together, the palm is slightly turned out and the elbow is at shoulder height at the same time, he must look at the commander and follow him with his eyes. This is how it is described in the ‘Manual for young soldiers and Cossacks’, published in St. Officers of the 13th Yerevan Grenadier Regiment of the Russian Imperial ArmyĪfter the mid-19th century, the ‘Two-fingered salute’ was replaced with a full-hand salute. In the army of Medieval Russia, no military salutes were performed – there were few certain military ranks, no common uniform and high-ranked military persons were at the same time high-ranked people in the state hierarchy, so they greeted each other with bows. ![]() However, when, for example, President Vladimir Putin, dressed in civilian clothing, is saluted, he doesn’t return the salute, because he is not in uniform and isn’t wearing military headwear (unlike the U.S. This is why a military salute is performed only by people in military uniform and towards other people in military uniform – except when head of state (and the head of the military), like the President, is saluted. A military salute is a gesture of mutual recognition and belonging to the same corporation, a symbol of mutual respect of military men. ![]() What is important about a military salute in general is that it’s not a person (be it an officer, a sergeant, or a private) who is saluted, but the military uniform.
