It is from the past that he will draw his lessons in order to shape the present.[5:15] Destiny must be fulfilled. That is my chief doctrine.[6:05] Napoleon: A Concise Biography by David Bell (Founders #294)[9:25] To aim at world empire seemed to Napoleon a most natural thing.[10:00] To have lived without glory, without leaving a trace of one's existence, is not to have lived at all.[10:55] The greatest improvisation of the human mind is that which gives existence to the nonexistent.[11:45] The best way to understand a person is to listen to that person directly. —  Make Something Wonderful: Steve Jobs in his own words (Founders #299)[12:55] The great majority of men attend to what is necessary only when they feel a need for it—the precise time when it is too late.[16:10] The worst way to live according to Napoleon:When on rising from sleep a man does not know what to do with himself and drags his tedious existence from place to place; when, scanning his future, he sees nothing but dreadful monotony, one day resembling the next; when he asks himself, "Why do I exist?”—then, in my opinion, he is the most wretched of all.[17:45] Instead his (Steve Jobs) ego needs and personal drives led him to seek fulfillment by creating a legacy that would awe people. A dual legacy, actually: building innovative products and building a lasting company. He wanted to be in the pantheon with, indeed a notch above, people like Edwin Land, Bill Hewlett, and David Packard. — Steve Jobs: The Exclusive Biography by Walter Isaacson.

Until then, all endeavors are in vain, all schemes collapse.[20:15] Napoleon on George Washington: Britain refused to acknowledge either him or the independence of his country; but his success obliged them to change their minds and acknowledge both. It is success which makes the great man.[21:15] Washington saw the conflict as a struggle for power in which the colonists, if victorious, destroyed British pretentions of superiority and won control over half of a continent. — Franklin & Washington: The Founding Partnershipby Edward Larson. (Founders #251)[23:15] If you do everything you will win: All great events hang by a single thread. The clever man takes advantage of everything, neglects nothing that may give him some added opportunity; the less clever man, by neglecting one thing, sometimes misses everything.[23:45] Warren Buffett: We are individually opportunity driven. — All I Want To Know Is Where I'm Going To Die So I'll Never Go There: Buffett & Munger – A Study in Simplicity and Uncommon, Common Sense by Peter Bevelin. (Founders #286)[24:15] Imagination rules the world.[25:00] Ambition is a violent and unthinking fever that ceases only when life ceases.[34:52] The corpse of an enemy always smells sweet.[35:30] Roots of Strategy: Book 1[38:45] Robert Caro profiled two men who seeds were not high (in a tournament) they were without many advantages. And to get all the way to the top you probably had to sacrifice everything to the effort. The meta lesson is if you are not willing to pay that price presume someone else will.If you want something like the presidency (or being a billionaire) you should presume there is someone out there who will devote all their time, money, relationships, sense of ethics, everything in sacrifice of that one goal.

So said the Reverend Billy Sunday on the passage of Prohibition. Needless to say he oversold, and the forces that changed the Constitution would, for the only time, change it back. A look at Prohibition from many angles. Did it do any good? Did it cause, as at least one contemporary said, the drug problem? What does it say about drug legalization, really.

Plus, the NY Times believes it found the 'smoking gun' text message from Tucker Carlson that supposedly got him fired. The text shouldn't have surprised Tucker.

主播:梅莉 | 翩翩歌曲 :Bana Ellerini Ver*更多节目配乐,请在“网易云音乐”搜索“一席英语-老外来了歌单”。前段时间,法国总统马克龙访问了中国。这件事,无论在中国还是法国,都是quite a trending topic(非常热门的话题)。而且结束访华的法国总统马克龙,很兴奋。前脚刚走,后脚就发了一个视频。视频内容没什么政治味道,倒像是一个旅行博主拍的Vlog,很快乐。他发的视频,the first scene is a big hug with actor Huang Bo(第一个场景是与演员黄渤的一个大拥抱),紧接着是footage of the summit meeting(峰会的镜头),tea party with music performance(茶话会与音乐表演),university speech(大学演讲), and warm welcome from Guangzhou citizens(来自广州市民的热烈欢迎)。马克龙这段小视频配的法语文案意思是:深信法中友谊,促进“和平、稳定与繁荣”。此次中国一行,不仅马克龙开心,中国人民也开心,大家对他的印象还挺不错的。那我们今天就来聊一聊法国总统马克龙。1. 饱受争议的爱情故事When Macron was elected(自打他当选之后),一直都是controversial(很有争议), and comes with his own topics of discussion(有关马克龙的话题讨论不断)。He was the youngest president elected in France after Napoleon.他是拿破仑之后,法国最年轻的总统,he was 39 years old when he was elected(当选总统的时候才39岁)。There was also a lot of news around his unique love story.其实民间讨论更多的是马克龙的爱情故事。之所以引发那么多讨论,主要是the age difference is too big(年龄差距太大)。His wife Brigitte is 24 years older than him. 他的妻子比他大24岁。而且在跟马克龙结婚前,Brigitte is a married woman with children(Brigitte是已婚已育的女人)。Macron and Brigitte do not have any kids together. 马克龙和布丽吉特没有孩子。Brigitte has 3 kids.Her eldest son is 3 years older than Macron(马克龙比她的大儿子小3岁),her eldest daughter is 1 year older than him(比她大女儿小1岁), and their youngest daughter is 6 years younger than him(最小的女儿只比马克龙小6岁).Brigitte also used to be Macron's high school teacher. 布丽奇特也是马克龙的高中老师。And actually her eldest daughter was classmates with Macron, and now she is his daughter.事实上,她的大女儿是马克龙的同学,现在她是他的女儿了。同班同学变成后爸。Wow, mind-blowing!在法国,teacher-student romance(师生恋) is considered taboo regardless of the age difference between them。不管年龄差多大,师生恋在法国都是一种禁忌。法国的教育法规定,教师与学生发生亲密关系的话,they may face disciplinary action and potential criminal charges(可能会面临纪律处分和可能的刑事指控)。Macron and Brigitte fell in love when Macron was 15. 马克龙15岁时,和Brigitte坠入爱河。因为Brigitte是马克龙的老师,所以their relationship had a lot of disapproval(受到了很多的反对)。But they remained committed to each other. 但他们仍然互相忠诚。马克龙的父母怎么介入的?因为担心焦虑,Macron's parents actually transferred him to another school(给马克龙转学了) 。但在马克龙转学之前, he promised Brigitte that he would marry her someday(他答应过布丽吉特,总有一天他会娶她为妻的)。 2007年,他们结婚了,再然后,Macron's career really took off(他的事业真正起飞了)!2. 总统竞选不易In 2016, Macron announced he was running for the French presidency as an independent candidate.马克龙在2016年宣布,他要作为一个independent candidate(独立候选人)来竞选总统。这个很不容易,因为in French history, no candidate ever won a presidential election without the support of a political party(法国的总统竞选历史上,还没有无政党支持的候选人赢得总统选举)。其实,西方的independent candidate(独立候选人),并不是指平头老百姓,只是可能不属于主要政党,但独立候选人可能拥有自己的支持者和政治基础。比如马克龙,竞选总统前就是 influential political figure(相当有影响力的政治人物)。他在竞选法国总统之前,曾担任法国社会党政府和社会民主党政府的高级公务员,曾在经济部门担任过多个职位。此外,他还曾担任法国总统的经济顾问,并在2014年至2016年期间担任法国经济部长。在经历了这些政府职位之后,马克龙创立了他的政治组织“前进”!在总统选举期间,他的确提出了一系列经济和社会改革计划,并成功地打破了法国传统政治的固有格局。He became the first independent candidate to be elected as the President of France.马克龙成为法国历史上第一个成功当选的独立候选人。With 65.5% of the vote, Macron became the eight president of France.获得了65.5%的选票,马克龙成为了法国的第8任总统。3. 从政并非一帆风顺总统的婚恋,肯定会引发一些民众戏剧性的反应。During interviews he would get questions about it, but he has always been very proud of his relationship. 在一些采访中,他会被问到这个问题,但他一直为自己的关系感到非常自豪。会有很多人觉得 he isn't setting a good example (总统没有树立好的榜样),不应该和老师结婚。他却回答说:“This is not a question of setting an example, when you fall in love the choice is not yours at all.”这不是树立榜样的问题,当你坠入爱河时,选择权根本不在你。马克龙曾说,如果他能在一个外省小城,顶住各种羞辱和嘲笑,征服一个年长他24岁且有三个孩子的有夫之妇,那么他也能用同样的方法征服法国。It might be easy for him to conquer a lover but it is definitely not that simple to conquer France. 征服情人容易,征服法兰西可没那么简单。He has been thrown eggs, hit by crowds etc. 他被扔过鸡蛋,被打过,等等。• conquer /ˈkɑ:ŋkər/ v. 征服在法国,总统挨打都算小场面。In France the bigger way to show disapproval is through demonstrations.人民表现反对的更激烈的方式是示威活动。为什么法国人对马克龙有这么大意见呢?马克龙办的两件事were very unpopular among the French population causing a lot of chaos(很不得人心,造成了很多混乱)。(1) The first is the fuel tax increase proposed by the Mark Malone government in 2018.第一个是,2018年马克龙政府提出的提高燃油税计划。 这直接成了the spark for the yellow vest movement(法国黄马甲运动的导火索)。(2) The second is that Macron proposed to delay retirement.第二个就是,马克龙提出to delay retirement(延迟退休)。This caused strong dissatisfaction among the French people(这引发了法国民众强烈不满), and there were big strikes and demonstrations almost every day(几乎天天有花式罢工游行).Extending the retirement age to 64 is two years more than the original 62.原来是62,现在延迟到64。Most European countries have already extended the retirement age to over 65.多数欧洲国家早就已经把退休年龄延长至65岁以上了。Some countries have postponed retirement for more than ten years at once, and they have not aroused such anger.有些国家一下子推迟退休十多年,他们也没有引起这样的愤怒。法国人其实福利待遇以及假期都是超级好的,但是延迟退休就一下激起这么大的愤怒。干嘛马克龙非要做不顺民心的事呢?But well the reason by Macron is doing this is also because he claims that there is no money.有种种原因,总之就是没钱了,得想法子发展。他最近访问中国,其中一个目的也是to strengthen the France-Chinese trade relationship(加强法中贸易关系)。不管如何,巩俐同行也好,黄渤陪同也好,中山大学的同学们夹道欢迎也好,这种友好的氛围,可能都让马克龙感受到治愈。他在social media上面发了好几个posts,还用中法双语发布:法中友谊万岁!大家有什么想聊的,想要关注的,都可以留言告诉我们。

In the fall of 1814, the powers of Europe gathered together to discuss what to do with the continent after the Napoleonic Wars. Napoleon had changed a lot in his time in power! He cowed the Roman Catholic Church, ended serfdom where he went, freed Jews from their ghettos, took away kingdoms, and placed new kings in charge. The Congress of Vienna was tasked with a Humpty Dumpty scenario and they couldn't put Europe back together again. The various countries also wanted to be compensated for their efforts to stop Napoleon. Couldn't they take a little piece of land? Encroach on one of the lesser kingdoms? Install their own puppet governments? In trying to undo all of the changes Napoleon made, they became little Napoleons themselves.

On Operations: Operational Art and Military Disciplines (US Naval Institute Press, 2021) traces the history of the development of military staffs and ideas on the operational level of war and operational art from the Napoleonic Wars to today, viewing them through the lens of Prussia/Germany, the Soviet Union, and the United States. B. A. Friedman concludes that the operational level of war should be rejected as fundamentally flawed, but that operational art is an accurate description of the activities of the military staff, an organization developed to provide the brainpower necessary to manage the complexity of modern military operations. Rather than simply serve as an intercession between levels, the military staff exists as an enabler and supporting organization to tacticians and strategists alike. On Operations examines the organization of military staffs, which has changed little since Napoleon's time. Historical examinations of the functions staffs provided to commanders, and the disciplines of the staff officers themselves, leads to conclusions about how best to organize staffs in the future. Friedman demonstrates these ideas through case studies of historical campaigns based on the military discipline system developed. Learn more about your ad choices.

Not long after the Napoleon-inspired Sanhedrin had declared the end of Jewish nationalism, small but growing numbers of Jews around the world embarked on three separate efforts that laid the foundation for creating a modern state in the ancient homeland: reviving Hebrew as a language for addressing contemporary issues and for daily living; developing the case for the idea of re-establishing a Jewish state in the land of Israel; and bringing about the settling of the land by Jewish pioneers. This episode describes these activities and the figures who led them from the early 19th century until the middle of its final decade.

Nietzsche described Napoleon as "a type of atavism" - a throwback to an earlier age, and quipped that he, not unlike Rousseau, also sought after a “return to nature”. Nietzsche and Rousseau have mutually opposed perspectives on what nature is, however, and Nietzsche is quick to note that Napoleon was not simply a 'going back', but a 'going up'. To understand why Nietzsche thought the way he did about the figure of a Napoleon or a Caesar, we will recapitulate to the entire Nietzschean understanding of the cycles of history, consider aphorisms from across his career, and examine how Goethe's conversations with Eckermann influenced Nietzsche in this respect. I intend to argue that Nietzsche meant the Caesar figure, the 'non-theoretical genius', to be a replacement for the Messiah figure in Christianity. Rather than salvation in the spiritual, abstract sense, the redeemer of man is an individual who exercises power in the physical world. All of the ideas considered this season culminate in order to explain this aspect of Nietzsche's philosophy, commonly dismissed as 'great man worship'. What we find instead is a phenomenon that Nietzsche believes to be natural, objective, and unavoidable. While this is one of the most difficult ideas of Nietzsche's to tangle with, I think we're better off for comprehending his position in this respect.

Former Freemason and author of tell-all books exposing secret societies — from the Illuminati to the Jesuits — Leo Lyon Zagami beams in for episode 102 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.  Leo is an Italian-born writer and researcher, whose work has gained notoriety from pioneers like David Icke and Alex Jones.His grandfather was Senator Leopoldo Zagami, a Sicilian politician who was also a known historian and author, who married into the aristocratic family of the Marquis de Gregorio. Leo's mother, Jessica Lyon Young, is a member of the family of the Queen Mother of England. Her father, Henry Lyon Young, was also a writer.Zagami (aka Leo Young) is also well-known and renowned in the media and music industry as a record producer, but he gained global notoriety in 2006, because of his direct involvement and knowledge of the New World Order and Secret Societies often referred as the “Illuminati.” His writings rose quickly and gained attention from people such as David Icke, for its accurate and evidence-backed inside information. Leo was featured as the protagonist of a highly successful documentary made by Alex Jones in Rome, called “Demonic Possession Of The Vatican Exposed.”Between 2009 and 2013 Zagami began publishing books in Europe and Japan based on a variety of subjects that range from the history of secret societies and the Vatican to geopolitical matters concerning the New World Order. He's contributed and collaborated on books dedicated to exposing the secretive world of Vatican Freemasonry. His multi-volume series in English is available on Amazon. Leo travels around the world giving conferences and has recently relocated with his wife to California after suffering political persecution for his work in Italy.On this podcast, Leo is connecting all kinds of conspiratorial dots, centered mainly on the relationship between the Jesuits, the Vatican, and various secret societies throughout the ages. These two are delving into topics like:-The history of the Jesuits — how they got started and how they became part of the Catholic Church -The relationship between the early Jesuits and the eastern religions-What really happened to Napoleon? Was he an enemy of the Illuminati?-How does culture influence tragedies like school shootings? -Is David Icke actually anti-Semitic?-Who are the Sabbatean Frankists?-What is cyber Satan and how does it relate to AI?-What do the Jesuits have to do with Klaus Schwab and the WEF?-How is Pope Francis related to the Great Reset?-How are the Jesuits and the Rosicrucians related?-What is the “secret” 4th vow of the Jesuits?-Who are the occult groups who have infiltrated Freemasonry?

Fans of Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, know that the individual tales that form his saga combine complex, fast-paced, often political mysteries with a series of revelations about his family's history that it would be churlish to reveal. All this takes place against the background of the Napoleonic Wars, mostly in Regency-era London with its vast social gap between the aristocratic rich and the starving, crime-ridden poor. The eighteenth of Sebastian's adventures, Who Cries for the Lost (Berkley Books, 2023) begins a few days before the Battle of Waterloo, a cataclysmic event—unknown to the characters, obviously—that will end Napoleon's military ambitions once and for all. A mutilated body is fished out of the Thames River and taken to Paul Gibson—a friend of Sebastian's who served as a surgeon during the Peninsular War—for an autopsy. When Paul's lover identifies the victim as her former husband and an aristocrat, the creaky wheels of the London policing system grind into gear. The Thames River Police may provide as much hope for justice as the costermongers and wherry boatmen of the city deserve, but a nobleman falls under the jurisdiction of Bow Street. As the number of corpses rises and pressure from the Prince Regent in Carlton House intensifies, Sebastian must race to solve a series of baffling, seemingly disconnected murders before the outcry demanding a solution leads to the arrest and execution of his friends. Meanwhile, the country anxiously awaits reports from the Duke of Wellington's army on the Continent, further stoking the tension, even as Sebastian confronts the reality of his nation's past misdeeds during the war and wonders whether those atrocities explain the crimes being committed in the present. Candice Proctor, aka C.S. Harris and C.S. Graham, is the USA Today bestselling, award-winning author of more than two dozen novels, including the Sebastian St. Cyr Regency mystery series written under the name C.S. Harris, the C.S.

In this episode, we dig deep into the depths of dog lore to separate fact from fiction. If humans understood all the wags of a dog's tail there might not be so many misconceptions about what they prefer to eat, whether or not they want that giant hug, or if they really play poker. But, the better we get to know our favorite dogs, the more myths we're able to bust. More importantly, the better humans understand their dog's needs, signals, and communication, the stronger the bond between us becomes.   Bonafide Bits Great Danes are actually German, not Danish. In 2023, Bobi, a Rafeiro do Alentejo in Portugal, was verified to be the world's oldest dog at 30 years old. You really can teach old dogs new tricks, as expertly demonstrated by 95 Border Collies at the Clever Dog Lab in Austria. Dogs can see color, but are more likely to see blue and yellow toys than popular red or orange toys. Plants in the Allium family, particulary onions, are toxic to all dog breeds but more toxic to Japanese breeds such as Akitas and Shiba Inus.   Featured Breeds: Bernese Mountain Dog Big, powerful, and built for hard work, the Bernese Mountain Dog is also strikingly beautiful and blessed with a sweet, affectionate nature. Berners are generally placid but are always up for a romp with the owner, whom they live to please. The Bernese Mountain Dog is a large, sturdy worker who can stand over 27 inches at the shoulder. The thick, silky, and moderately long coat is tricolored: jet black, clear white, and rust. The distinctive markings on the coat and face are breed hallmarks and, combined with the intelligent gleam in the dark eyes, add to the Berner's aura of majestic nobility. A hardy dog who thrives in cold weather, the Berner's brain and brawn helped him multitask on the farms and pastures of Switzerland. Berners get along with the entire family and are particularly gentle with children, but they will often become more attached to one lucky human. Berners are imposing but not threatening, and they maintain an aloof dignity with strangers. Discover more about Bernese Mountain Dogs at AKC's Bernese Mountain Dog Breed Biography.   Chihuahua The Chihuahua is a balanced, graceful dog of terrier-like demeanor, weighing no more than six pounds. The rounded “apple” head is a breed hallmark. The erect ears and full, luminous eyes are acutely expressive. Coats come in many colors and patterns and can be long or short. The varieties are identical except for the coat. Chihuahuas possess loyalty, charm, and a big-dog attitude. Even tiny dogs require training, and without it, this clever scamp will rule your household like a little Napoleon. Compact and confident, Chihuahuas are ideal city pets. They are too small for roughhousing with kids, and special care must be taken in cold weather, but Chihuahuas are adaptable as long as they get lots of quality time in their preferred lap. Discover more about Chihuahuas at AKC's Chihuahua Breed Biography.   Chinese Crested  With their spotted pink skin, spiky “crested” hairdo, furry socks, and feathery tail, you can't mistake the sweet and slender Chinese Crested for any other breed. This frolicsome, ultra-affectionate companion dog is truly a breed apart. The Chinese Crested, a lively and alert toy breed standing between 11 and 13 inches high, can be hairless or coated. The hairless variety has smooth, soft skin and tufts of hair on the head, tail, and ankles. The coated variety, called the “powderpuff,” is covered by a soft, silky coat. Besides the coat, there's very little difference between the powderpuff and his undressed brother. Both varieties are characterized by fine-boned elegance and graceful movement. Cresteds are as fun as they look: playful, loving, and devoted to their humans. The hairless has its advantages: there is no doggy odor, and for obvious reasons shedding isn't much of a problem. Both varieties are attentive housemates, totally in tune with their family. Discover more about Chinese Crested at AKC's Chinese Crested Breed Biography.   Irish Wolfhound The calm, dignified, and kindly Irish Wolfhound is the tallest of all AKC breeds. Once fearless big-game hunters capable of dispatching a wolf in single combat, Wolfhounds today are the most serene and agreeable of companions. Discover more about Irish Wolfhounds at AKC's Irish Wolfhound Breed Biography.   Great Dane The easygoing Great Dane, the mighty “Apollo of Dogs,” is a total joy to live with — but owning a dog of such imposing size, weight, and strength is a commitment not to be entered into lightly. This breed is indeed great, but not a Dane. Discover more about Great Danes at AKC's Great Dane Breed Biography.   Rafeiro do Alentejo The Rafeiro do Alentejo is an excellent farm and estate watchdog. He is also a very useful livestock protector, being more vigilant at night and very serious when guarding territory or any other property entrusted to him. He has a calm and confident expression. Since the beginning of the breed's history, Rafeiros Alentejanos were used in packs as hunting dogs for big game, though this function has gradually disappeared over time. More recently, the breed is a guard dog for property and livestock, watching sheep and cattle. They also often work alone in prairies and will defend the herd against any intruders. Hailing from Portugal, the Rafeiro do Alentejo is a large-sized dog, powerful, rustic, sober, and calm. He moves with a heavy, slow roll. His coat is short or medium-length and thick, straight, and dense. They can be black, wolf gray, or fawn, with or without brindling, always with white markings; or white with patches of these colors. Discover more about Rafeiro do Alentejo at AKC's Rafeiro do Alentejo Breed Biography.   Akita Akitas are burly, heavy-boned spitz-type dogs of imposing stature. Standing 24 to 28 inches at the shoulder, Akitas have a dense coat that comes in several colors, including white. The head is broad and massive and is balanced in the rear by a full, curled-over tail. The erect ears and dark, shining eyes contribute to an expression of alertness, a hallmark of the breed. Akitas are quiet, fastidious dogs. Wary of strangers and often intolerant of other animals, Akitas will gladly share their silly, affectionate side with family and friends. They thrive on human companionship. The large, independent-thinking Akita is hardwired for protecting those they love. They must be well-socialized from birth with people and other dogs. Discover more about Akitas at AKC's Akita Breed Biography.   Shiba Inu An ancient Japanese breed, the Shiba Inu is a little but well-muscled dog once employed as a hunter. Today, the spirited, good-natured Shiba is the most popular companion dog in Japan. The adaptable Shiba is at home in town or country. Brought to America from Japan as recently as 60 years ago, Shibas are growing in popularity in the West and are already the most popular breed in their homeland. Their white markings combined with their coloring (red, red sesame, or black and tan) and their alert expression and smooth stride make them almost foxlike. They're sturdy, muscular dogs with a bold, confident personality to match. Discover more about Shiba Inus at AKC's Shiba Inu Breed Biography.   German Shepherd Dog There are many reasons why German Shepherd Dogs stand in the front rank of canine royalty, but experts say their defining attribute is character: loyalty, courage, confidence, the ability to learn commands for many tasks, and the willingness to put their life on the line in defense of loved ones. German Shepherd Dogs will be gentle family pets and steadfast guardians, but, the breed standard says, there's a “certain aloofness that does not lend itself to immediate and indiscriminate friendships.” Discover more about German Shepherd Dogs at AKC's German Shepherd Dog Breed Biography.   Siberian Husky The graceful, medium-sized Siberian Husky's almond-shaped eyes can be either brown or blue and sometimes one of each, and convey a keen but amiable, and even mischievous expression. Quick and nimble-footed, Siberians are known for their powerful but seemingly effortless gait. Tipping the scales at no more than 60 pounds, they are noticeably smaller and lighter than their burly cousin, the Alaskan Malamute. As born pack dogs, they enjoy family life and get on well with other dogs. The Sibes' innate friendliness renders them indifferent watchdogs. These are energetic dogs who can't resist chasing small animals, so secure room to run is a must. An attractive feature of the breed: Sibes are naturally clean, with little doggy odor. Discover more about Siberian Huskies at AKC's Siberian Husky Breed Biography.   Golden Retriever The Golden Retriever, an exuberant Scottish gundog of great beauty, stands among America's most popular dog breeds. They are serious workers at hunting and fieldwork, as guides for the blind, and in search-and-rescue, enjoy obedience and other competitive events, and have an endearing love of life when not at work. Discover more about Golden Retrievers at AKC's Golden Retriever Breed Biography.   Labrador Retriever The sweet-faced, lovable Labrador Retriever is America's most popular dog breed. Labs are friendly, outgoing, and high-spirited companions who have more than enough affection to go around for a family looking for a medium-to-large dog. Labs are famously friendly.

Play fetch with a tireless Toller until your right arm falls off, and he will ask you to throw left-handed. The little gundog with the big name is the smallest AKC retriever, standing ideally 18 or 19 inches at the shoulder. The Toller's trademark is a coat of stunning crimson, ranging from golden red to a dark coppery color, with white markings. Strong and agile, Tollers are medium dogs: medium in size, bone, and coat length. The almond-shaped eyes project an alert expression. Tollers are upbeat athletes who require outlets for their boundless vigor: hunting, hiking, camping, and, of course, swimming (for which they are ideally suited, down to their webbed feet). Tollers are smart, handsome, affectionate companions, but these red tornadoes can be recommended only to those with enough time and energy to keep them usefully occupied.

Dachshunds come in two sizes and in three coat types of various colors and patterns. The word “icon” is terribly overworked, but the Dachshund, with his unmistakable long-backed body, little legs, and big personality, is truly an icon of purebred dogdom. Dachshunds can be standard-sized (usually 16 to 32 pounds) or miniature (11 pounds or under), and come in one of three coat types: smooth, wirehaired, or longhaired. Dachshunds aren't built for distance running, leaping, or strenuous swimming, but otherwise, these tireless hounds are game for anything. Smart and vigilant, with a big-dog bark, they make fine watchdogs. Bred to be an independent hunter of dangerous prey, they can be brave to the point of rashness, and a bit stubborn, but their endearing nature and unique look have won millions of hearts the world over.

Bassets are famous for a large, domed head that features extremely long, velvety ears, mournful eyes, and a wrinkled brow, which give the breed the look of a sad clown. Built more for endurance than speed, the Basset moves in a deliberate but effortless manner. The breed's scenting ability is uncanny; it's said that among dogs only the Bloodhound's nose is more accurate. Mild and agreeable at home, the Basset is stubborn on the trail and barks in a loud, ringing voice. Although they may not be wildly demonstrative in their affections, they are steadfastly loyal.

Blue and yellow toys stand out more than other colors. Used as scent atomizers, the sweat glands on a dog's skin are not used for evaporation or cooling. A dog's wagging tail is an effective communication tool, as long as you don't come in at the tail end of the conversation.

Animal FarmAnimal Farm Full chapter Introduction The animals of Manor Farm rise up after enduring unremitting oppression under human control. The animals form a plan to drive away the humans and establish a place to live freely and happily. Once liberated, they renamed farm, christening it “Animal Farm.” However, a pig named Napoleon appropriates the spoils of their revolution, and this egalitarian animal society gradually slides towards dictatorship. Under Napoleon's watch, the animals' lives are more miserable than ever; they have as little to eat as they did when humans were still in charge. Animal Farm is George Orwell's most famous political satire. The animals act out the conditions of a society under totalitarianism. Overview | Chapter 1Hi, welcome to Bookey. Today we will unlock the famous novel, Animal Farm. George Orwell wrote this political satire in the form of a fable in 1945, giving it the title Animal Farm. The book shocked the world, fueling conflicts between capitalism in the USA and the socialism of the Soviet Union. The story triggered different responses from the two opposing ideologies. In the capitalist countries of the West, the work was warmly received. People believed it was an objective evaluation of a socialist country and told the truth about its living conditions. Western societies embraced the story, and its popularity grew. Animal Farm was translated into more than a dozen languages, adapted for children, illustrated and turned into animated movies. Orwell himself became a spokesperson and arbiter of his time, with influential moral views and a linguistic style that influenced the works of many western novelists and playwrights of the 1950s and 60s. However, in Communist Russia, the novel was regarded as anti-Soviet, anti-socialist, and was banned for many years. In fact, the book is widely regarded as a revelation of the dark side of Joseph Stalin's influence in the Soviet Union and an attack on totalitarianism across the world. In the preface to the Ukrainian edition, Orwell says that some elements of the plot were inspired by the historical facts of the Russian Revolution. During the Cold War, the United States actively used the book as a propaganda weapon against the Soviet Union. So is this really an anti-socialist story? Why did it touch a nerve on both sides? Next, we will discuss the novel's plot in three parts: Firstly, we will explain the novel's narrative framework. We will hear how the animals on the farm plan their revolution and what kinds of power struggle take place as the revolt gets underway. And how the ruler gradually starts to betray the revolutionaries. In the second section, we will analyze the ideas this work seeks to convey and the symbolic representation behind the character of the various animals. In part three, we'll talk about Orwell's approach to writing, how his experiences changed his ideological views, and why he wanted to use animal imagery to illustrate his ideas.
