No full textIn his first work of fiction, artist Jake Chapman slashes the romantic novel down to bare bone and constructs his own disfigured version from the slaughtered remains.Chlamydia Love is gifted her very own tropical island by her fiancé, where she develops a grudging adoration for its real owner, the enigmatic bestselling author, Helmut Mandragorass. A battle between her fiancé and Helmut ensues, for ownership of the island and ultimately for the love of Chlamydia.This mercilessly subversive tale is illustrated by Chlamydia's watercolours entitled Visions of Morass, images inspired by the island as she struggles with her feelings of agony and ecstasy.<br/

Pre-Biblical and Old Testament rape law parallels: recurring androcentric themes in historic Biblical text
No full textRape legislation in ancient Near Eastern texts is very slanted in respect to a pervasive androcentric ideology that drives the punitive outcomes. Unfortunately, evidence shows the lives of women in terms of their perceived societal value are affected (often negatively) in regard to their social status; regardless of region or period. Women did not wield much social power in ancient times and the laws demonstrate resolutions for prescribed transgressions that neglected to include any consideration for the viewpoint of women; who were the primary victims of the rape offense. As a result, women suffered and were historically antagonized by the these laws which failed to protect them. This research will illuminate the disparities by examining the laws in various regions of the period and challenge the underlying themes.M.A.L.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Jake J. Jone

The Alexander Hamilton and Slavery Debate
No full textAlexander Hamilton, one of the original founding fathers, has been under scrutiny by historians for several years over his belief on the issue of slavery. Hamilton was one of the most influential people in the framing of the Constitution. He wrote many letters back and forth to James Madison while they wrote the Federalist Papers. Hamilton’s opinion on the issue of slavery, unlike Madison’s, is somewhat of a mystery. Some historians argue he was against slavery in principle and the presence of it in the United States, others say he supported slavery in its entirety.
Evidences for both sides of the argument are present, but the most recent scholarly arguments, which have come within the last decade, argue that Hamilton personally opposed slavery. However, he chose to follow the law on things such as returning a slave to their owner.
When asking a non-historian, “Who was Alexander Hamilton?” Most people are going to say either “The guy on the ten-dollar bill” or “The guy who got shot by the other guy in a duel.” Though he is known for these two things (being on the ten-dollar bill and his death from a duel with Aaron Burr), Alexander Hamilton was much more than these two things. He was a man of many talents. During the American Revolution, he was, through his many political connections in New York, an aide for generals Nathaniel Greene, Henry Knox, and his favorite, General George Washington. Much like Marquis De Lafayette, Hamilton was thought of as a son that George Washington never had
Granularity in angle: Observability in scattering experiments
No full textGeometry is quantized in loop quantum gravity. As a step toward building a detailed phenomenology of this discrete geometry a model of an atom of geometry is reviewed. The model, which preserves local Lorentz invariance, exhibits a lever arm that raises the scale at which the granularity in angle becomes apparent. The signature of this effect is a systematic shift of observed angles in processes such as high energy particle scattering experiments. To check assumptions in the model, coherent states of a simple atom of spatial geometry are explored using information intrinsic to the quantum state

A Cold Civil War? French Historian Pap Ndiaye and American novelist Jake Lamar discuss racial turmoil in the USA and its echoes in France
No full textOn February 1, 2022, the American Library in Paris launched its Black History Month program with a conversation between two well-known figures in France’s international Black community. Pap Ndiaye is a historian of French and Senegalese descent. As a professor at Sciences Po, he popularized the study of race and identity in French academia, most notably with his book La Condition noire. In 2021, he was appointed direc- tor of the National Museum of the History of Immigration in Paris. Jake Lamar is an African American writer who has lived in Paris since 1993. He is the prize-winning author of a memoir, seven novels and a play and teaches creative writing at Sciences Po. What follows are edited excerpts of their exchange
