rules to impede his career his activity on behalf of new germany merely because his scholarship had not stood the hazards of an examination rector francoise stands up to vogelsong he knows he will lose his position his wife is pragmatic these comforting words did francoise good he had always known that socrates must have had some good reason for marrying xanthippe jacques lavendel informed friedrich pfanz the head of the department of economics that he proposed to leave germany and that he would liquidate his german business interests a turn of events with herr zarnke who has become disillusioned with unfulfilled promises he listens and agrees with his little troop not turning them in for subversive speech such rebellious views were gaining more and more control over the simple soul of storm troop leader rudger zarnke the oppermann family are together at the lavendel s house in switzerland they are celebrating passover enjoying each other s company and using all the old utensils dedicated to the celebration reading the haggadah they wanted to sterilize all jews as well as the socialists and the intellectual classes nationalists only were to be allowed to propagate there would be no one left to spoil their power in nationalist germany there was no worse crime than the profession of reason peace and honorable sentiments unemployment figures rose to staggering heights germany s percentage of unemployed became the highest in the world but the stiff necked nationalist declared that they had reduced unemployment lies profiteering and selfish indulgence went hand in hand anyone who belonged to the party in power could have his competitor spirited away to a concentration camp the story by no means ends here the ending is quite incongruous i think it had to be because it was published in 1933 and at that time it had taken national socialism fourteen years to rise to power and only at the beginning of their government control of germany so how could lion feuchtwanger actually end his story the third reich did not come to an end until 8th may 1945 i hope my humble review of the oppermanns has moved you to read this book christine posted by lilbitbrit

post as always i love to hear everyones comments thank you for taking the time so on doing a little further research i think this is the best definition i can come up with so we all know what a blog is because we are doing it here a vlog i have concluded is like a diary only as a video log of daily things also can be weekly or monthly everything you want to record that s happening in your life your blog in video podcast is just audio the video podcast is different it is like a podcast which is audio but with video too the major difference i think is that of having a theme and can include guests also another key is that it provides some information for the audience so content informative i have come to the conclusion that what i have been watching are video podcasts but they just refer to them as podcasts glad i ve got that straight in my mind do hate to be in the fog take care have a great weekend christine p s if you disagree with that or want to add to that please leave a comment

a technical question to ask i showed my son a you tube video of a person i subscribe to on you tube and said how much i like the way she presents her podcasts in fact in the title it calls the program a podcast now my son said strictly speaking that is not a podcast but a vlog because it is visual and audio podcasts are only audio but i have noticed that a number of people on you tube call it and have it in their very title that it is a podcast so what is the consensus is it strictly speaking as my son says a vlog or is it a podcast or can one loosely call it a podcast or does it matter my son majored in photography film and visual media so i feel technically he is right but if the majority of people call it a podcast then by doing so that becomes the predominant way of referring to such a media for example in the uk we never say i m going to vacuum the house we say i m going to hoover the house if one was being truly technical vacuum would be the correct terminology so this is my conundrum of word usage please give me your input i would like your thoughts thank you christine posted by lilbitbrit at 12 36 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels musing thursday august 13 2020 i d stamper appalachian music hi dear folk i ve been thinking of america and it s immigrant folk who they are and what they ve bought with them adding to the diversity i m an immigrant and everyone here is except for the native american tribes and what a diversity of language and culture they have i ve also been thinking of music on podcasts and vlogs which led me down the rabbit hole of remembering i had an old cassette tape recording of kentucky appalachian music the recording had been given to me in the late eighties so last night i routed through a number of drawers and eventually came up with it how did i come to have this well in the late eighties i went to eastern kentucky as a volunteer with some friends and stayed with a local family the stamper s he was the son of i d stamper isaac i d stamper was born in arkansas but raised in letcher county kentucky where he lived until his death in 1986 he worked nearly forty years in the mines until he left the bad air for a safer and better paying job as a maintenance man in a louisville children s hospital the harmonica was his first instrument followed quickly by the banjo guitar and fiddle i d and his brothers had a band that played at many of the local dances which reminds me of my grandfather from the thirties in the hedingham area of essex he also had a band and played guitar and banjo playing at local dances and events the legendary uncle ed thomas was his mother s uncle the roving dulcimer builder and player that struck his fancy to the instrument that was to become his hallmark it wasn t until the 1940 s that i d finally put together his first dulcimer from a butternut log his father brought in for firewood his first instrument was fashioned after his recollection of uncle ed s design but by his own admission improved on it i d stamper constructed over 500 instruments during his lifetime with buyers from california to england i d had a brief career in his retirement playing at folk festivals folklife events at national parks and dances until he was cut short by parkinson s disease as was my father i ran across this and i think you ll enjoy listening to his music his blend of white dance music and black blues offers the only blues dulcimer music most people have ever heard his rarely heard versions of darlin corey lost john and little pink act as a musical milestone to a time and a life that you can only read about he only made one album recording and this was red wing i think you will enjoy listening to his music what a wonderful rich heritage from eastern kentucky many songs derive from english scottish and irish ballads brought over with these immigrants such as pretty polly i enjoyed my time there and remember i was told to never pull in front of a loaded coal truck coming down the mountain now over thirty years later you probably wouldn t see a loaded coal truck the coal industry was on the wain even then christine

listen to bbc radio 4 this week they are running a reading of five of katherine mansfield s short stories the stranger miss brill a cup of tea poison the doll s house she is a brilliant short story writer and well worth reading i love miss brill katherine mansfield was brought up in new zealand which i ve always felt an affinity with because my great grandmothers half siblings mary and james who my great grandma was very close with emigrated to new zealand the year before wwi a regular correspondence was kept up with them in fact after my grandfather died 1938 of polio and grandma was left a widow with four children they invited her to migrate to new zealand after wwii and i often wonder what that would have meant for the family had my grandmother taken them up on that i honestly think she personally would have had an easier life rather than staying on in post war england but i digress click on my new zealand label on side bar to see some old family photos taken in new zealand katherine mansfield 1888 1923 did not have an easy life and eventually died of tuberculosis she had many contemporaries and was friends with such people as virginia woolf d h lawrence and elizabeth von arnim was a cousin as with many new zealand writers she made the trek and relocated to london on a more permanent basis in 1908 she had lived there before from age 14 to 17 as a boarder at queen s college harley street after her diagnoses she often lived abroad on the continent one place being the montana region of switzerland where she wrote many short stories the montana stories published by persephone books contains her short stories from july 1921 to her death in france january 1923 i ran across this lovely link to the katherine mansfield society where you can read her stories off down the rabbit hole now christine p s a quote from virginia woolf then morgan forster said the prelude and the voyage out were the best novels of their time and i said damn katherine why can t i be the only woman who knows how to write virginia woolf writing to katherine mansfield 13 february 1921 posted by lilbitbrit at 12 00 am 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to

more of a longer contemplative mood today i have been waging war with tiny ants in my kitchen we are loath to spray but these troop brigades are relentless their sorties ongoing it has made me super vigilant even a crumb of food left anywhere brings out a long trail of workers you have to admire them cat food left on the ground for any longer than it takes tuppy to eat it is an absolute no no they also seem to like water and i will find a number in and out of the kitchen sink it s driving me crazy we think we ve found where they are coming in and obviously we will have to put something down out there because the war is full on of course maybe it s hypersensitivity during lockdown madness the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry the summer that was but was not and for some it never will be again so i keep that in mind and stay close to home which is basically pottering around in my garden will one ever need to buy another piece of clothing and i m certainly not bothering to dye my hair i have not done so since last february i m going to go with the gray trend well it s certainly easier and who really sees you except for zoom meetings i had planned to visit my sister in england but of course early on i knew that was all off in anywise who s going to let anybody out of america when we are 22 of the cases of covid in the world we are now locked in we can t go out to play just like the naughty children we are here in the usa unless we change our behavior we re never be let out so what keeps you sane and happy i do like my garden and my crochet reading a book under my giant oak tree can be quite satisfying i think compared to so many in this giant land i am most fortunate and count my blessings when so many others are not doing well take care keep

pseudo lockdown state we are back to green but with the use of masks strongly suggested which of course we adhere to i take a one time look at the data every day mr b was called back to work but we made the choice not to do so we are both in that higher risk age group we follow the statistics to see if in our area since opening up is it still tailing down staying level or going up the truth is it is beginning to rise mildly and we re in a north eastern state not a southern state where it seems out of control we want it to go down for all and then mr b will go back to work if you look at the
