The Coast by Joseph J. Thorndike Jr.5/13/2023 ![]() “But however, because the invention did unto me seem ingenious and new, being not impertinent to the present enquiry, therefore I thought it might be worth the mentioning.” “I am not able to judge what other advantages there may be suggested, or whether experiment would fully answer to these notional conjectures,” he concluded. ![]() Wilkins was aware of Cornelius Drebbel’s primitive sub of 1620, but he looks much farther ahead, seeming to foresee combat submarines and deep-sea exploration vessels. It may be of unspeakable benefit from submarine experiments and discoveries.It may be of a special use for the relief of any place that is besieged by water, to convey unto them invisible supplies: and so likewise for the surprisal of any place that is accessible by water.It may be of very great advantage against a Navy of enemies, who by this means may be undermined in the water, and blown up.From Pirates and Robbers which do so infest other voyages from ice and great frosts, which do so much endanger the passages toward the Poles. ![]() ![]()

Jane austen love & friendship5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() The friendship between Emma and Harriet has been examined many times, but there is a friendship in this novel which plays a more important role and often gets overlooked, and that is Emma’s relationship with Frank Churchill. ![]() Throughout Emma, the eponymous heroine is looking for a close friend to replace that of Miss Taylor after the latter’s marriage. While, to begin with, there is the possibility of a romantic attachment between the two of them, it quickly develops instead into a strong friendship that leads to some of Emma’s most enlightening moments. Similarly, an interesting relationship is that of Emma and Frank Churchill. This is arguably the most important relationship in the novel, since it is so instrumental in the development of the plot. Brandon relates much of his story to Elinor in the hope that she will pass it on to the relevant person, and Elinor finds out the truth that is hidden underneath Willoughby’s charming exterior through him. Elinor Dashwood and Colonel Brandon’s relationship develops quickly. However, the examination of friendship almost always looks at the friendships between women, yet if we take a closer look at the novels, particularly Emma and Sense and Sensibility, we see that the heroines in fact form friendships with male characters that end up being very important for the plots. The friendships that the heroines form throughout the books have been the subject of much discussion over the years. Much is made about the role that friendship plays in the novels of Jane Austen. ![]() Ryan holiday conspiracy5/12/2023 ![]() Thiel founded and sold PayPal in considerably less time. It hadn’t taken too long after that Wednesday in December for him to decide that something had to be done, but it had taken four full years since then to conceive of what kind of response might even be possible.

Not helping the matter: the return of Machiavellian businessman Maxwell Lord.
