Talk:Marcus Rutilius Lupus

message: This article has been kept following this AFD debate. Sjakkalle (Check!) 13:12, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: After some research in the academic books, I just finished expanding on the biography of M. Rutilius Lupus of  emperors Trajan and Hadriranus period, apparently a very interesting Roman aristocrat, in terms of Jewish history and Roman brick industry, and Roman dating (introduction of urban stamps).  prior to the biography edit, I had undone the edit by previous editor, for I believe the information and facts concerning his actions during he 3rd Jewish revolt in Alexandria are quite important.
 
Hi,
* The bricks angle looks fascinating - could you please add some specific references? Thumbs up for digging this up, anyway!
* About the edits, I wish to explain the rationale for my culling: the so-called Kitos war is (for us, 2000 years later!) the major reason why Rutilius is inetresting and it should definitely be included in a major way. However, I think it's not necessary to give numerous details about the war itself (especially, as its course is far from actually clear to academic specialists, owing to the paucity and complex nature of the evidence); therefore, I think it's better to stick to the basics on this subject in Rutilius's bio article - fuller details about the war can be given in the article about the war.
So, please have another look at my version:
"Marcus Rutilius Lupus was Prefect of Egypt during the Jewish uprising of 115-117 (the Kitos War). The magnitude of this rebellion was beyond prefect's power to suppress and he needed assistance from Marcius Turbo in quelling and pacifying the province, eventually achieved with enormous loss of life and property."
I think it captures the essentials, without getting bogged down in an unnecessary descriptio of the war itself.
What do you think?

Talk:A Grain of Wheat

message: Does anybody have any character info on mugo? i cant find any character sketches on the net, thanks.
In this novel we can see that Mugo right from the start appears to be anxious or naive about a cause unknown. The novel later reviels his ambitions in life, to be sucessful. This was motivated by the way in which he grew up. As a result, he does'nt care about the state of mind of other Kenyans who are worried about Uhuru. To reach success, he does not want to be bothered. Kihika enters his life, Mugo resorts to betraying him. The British are not convinced that Mugo is telling the truth about Kihika's Mau Mau cause. He turns him in. The British in turn do not believe Mugo and he is sent to detention camps. He feels bitter about his experience. He has no oath to confess but the people of Kenya mistake his silence when he actually has no knowledge or care about the oath; for bravery, courage and intense nationalistic caues, thus making him the mistaken hero. It is finally realised that Mugo did nothing when he is frustrated to the point where he tells the people the truth.

message: This article states that BART was the first "subway system" to use ATC.  BART isn't entirely subway, so one can assume that's in the generic context, meaning "heavy rail rapid transit" more precisely.  BART began operations in 1972, but the Chicago Transit Authority's Lake Street Elevated line implemented it from Harlem to the Chicago River in 1965.  ATC was, therefore, in use on CTA, in part, seven years before it was in use on BART.  Either the statement regarding BART is false, or may need to be clarified to indicate that it was the first either entirely equipped with ATC and/or the first system to have it implemented from its start of service.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.57.41.126 (talk) 02:56, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I think translating "bakumatsu" as "end of the curtain" is misleading.  It is not the end of the curtain, in the sense of a curtain coming down at the end of a show.  Rather, "baku" comes from "bakufu", which was originally meant to signify the house of the Shogun, and later the shogunate military government itself.  "Baku" means curtain in the sense of a curtain signifying the house of the Shogun, not a curtain on a stage.  So "bakumatsu" really means "end of military government".  Readers who do not know Japanese are likely to read the article as currently written, and mistakenly think that bakumatsu means a curtain coming down on the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate, which is not the correct interpretation of the Japanese phrase.  --Westwind273 (talk) 22:38, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Brilliant... it's not as straightforward as your simple logic would have it.  With higher prices come higher profits.  Let's say i could make a car at a cost to me of $1.  I could sell it for $2 and make double what i spent.  or i could sell it for $10,000.  demand would be less but i would still make a lot more than i put in.  it's a balancing act.  if i sold my cars for $1,000,000 demand would practically be zero.

message: I have heard something about how Eisner was the guy behind the idea of the "Disney Vault" but somehow it seems to have predated him; for most of my life there have been periodic rereleases to theaters of the best Disney movies such as Lady and the Tramp, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, and even (I think) The Aristocats.  This is because Disney's marketing research showed that there was more or less a new 'generation' of kids every seven years; after seven years, most of the target audience for their films was now either too young to remember the prior release or hadn't even been born yet.  This was just carried over to the VHS and then the DVD market.  Other filmmakers have just followed this lead, realizing that price is a function of supply and demand and that by limiting the supply demand for the product can be kept up and that the potential profits from this system far exceed those from a few extra, highly discounted tail-end sales.

Talk:Andrei Platonov

message: Before I edit the page itself, I need to know if anybody has a problem with my edit. On AP's page, you have a note (under 'Writing') that:
"Although his works generally take a materialist stance, denying the importance or existence of the soul, he is stylistically very distinct from Socialist Realism, which focused on simple language and straightforward plots"
He was a materialist, in the philosophical sense, but a problematic one; to suggest that he denied "the importance or existence of the soul" is, I think, a big error when his books are filled with existential questions preicsely about the soul, about the 'heart', and about "spirit". Consult the AP authorities, or just one his his major works, and you will see the author writing about the antagonism between spirit and matter. It would be, perhaps, more correct to say that in the world that Platonov writes, the soul (spirit, whatevever) is subordinated to matter, that individuals, even trees and plants, fail to realise spiritual happiness. This doesn't mean that he 'denied' the "existence of the soul". Rather, he was worried about the soul becoming extinct.
Moreover, it needs to be made clear that AP did not reject socialist realism out of hand, but tried, rather, to reform it from within, and to find his own place in it (this is very clear in his literary criticism of the 30s). So, we could say that yes, he was not a socialist realist purist, but did at least enter into a dialogue with it (both satirical and more, let us say, 'serious').
