I made a Paul McCartney relationship timeline after checking out several sources. And oh my God it was exhausting. Also I could not find enough info about Graciela Borges and she refuses to give out much info outside of the fact that she had a romantic encounter with Paul so take that with a grain of salt. I also couldn’t find much info on Elizabeth Aronsson. The rest is pretty spot on. Keep in mind too, I’m also including rebounds, flings, and friends with benefits, not just serious romantic relationships. Do I have a too much time in my hands? Yes. 😂 But so did Paul apparently lmao

Japan: Described and Illustrated by the Japanese – Part 2. Continued from our previous post.

Born in Ireland and educated at Trinity College in Dublin, Captain Francis (or Frank) Brinkley (1841-1912) traveled to Japan in 1867 as a commander in the Royal Artillery, never to return home. He became the owner and editor of the Japan Mail, the most influential English language newspaper in the Far East, and his Japanese-English dictionary published in 1896 became the standard reference of its time. Brinkley organized and translated the contributions by Japanese scholars to the Japan: Described and Illustrated by the Japanese volumes.

Although none of the photographs in Japan: Described and Illustrated by the Japanese are credited with the name of a photographer or studio – except for the collotype still lifes of flowers by Ogawa Kazumasa – it is known from newspaper reports and other sources that Tamamura Kozaburo was commissioned by the J. B. Millet Company to supply all of the hand-colored albumen prints. Regarded as an originator of "Yokohama shashin" or Yokohama-style photography for tourists, Tamamura became one of the most successful and popular commercial photographers in Japan. He sold souvenir photograph albums to foreigners and acquired profitable commissions from various organizations, including the J. B. Millet Company.

New York Times: Documents on Marcos Cite Collaboration Reports (1986)

January 29, 1986 Joel Brinkley

Evidence that family members of the candidates in the Philippine presidential campaign collaborated with the Japanese during World War II has emerged as a hotly contested issue in the final days of the race.

Relatives of both the opposition presidential candidate, Corazon C. Aquino, and her running mate, Salvador H. Laurel, worked openly for the Japanese. Neither Mrs. Aquino nor Mr. Laurel has disputed the fact.

President Ferdinand E. Marcos has pointed up these connections, saying his own record is, in contrast, one of patriotism and opposition to the Japanese occupation force.

But United States Army documents that were disclosed last week indicate that Mr. Marcos's own record is ambiguous on this point.

The records show that the Army dismissed Mr. Marcos's official claims that he led a guerrilla unit during the Japanese occupation as ''fraudulent'' and ''absurd.'' They also suggest, although they do not prove, that Mr. Marcos was a Japanese collaborator.

At the same time, the official records clearly state that people listed as members of the guerrilla unit that Mr. Marcos claimed to have led did work for the Japanese and brutally treated Filipinos who interfered.

The question is critical to Mr. Marcos, who has frequently made mention of his wartime record in interviews and speeches during his long public career.

Thousands of Filipinos collaborated with the Japanese occupiers during the war, and in 1945 many of them were charged with treason. Although all were later pardoned, collaboration was a matter of significant national debate in the late 1940's, and experts on the Philippines say the nation never fully resolved its feelings about the issue.

Two years ago the Marcos Government showed that it still regarded the subject as politically sensitive. When the United States Army considered declassifying documents from World War II, including lists of Filipino collaborators, it consulted the Philippine Government, and ''the decision was we would not declassify the lists, on the basis of Filipino objections,'' said John H. Hatcher, Archivist of the Army.

When Mr. Marcos responded to the reports last week that the United States Army had rejected his claims about his war record, he blamed his election opponents for the report, which first appeared in The New York Times, and he accused them of serving as Japanese agents during the war. Thus the question of collaboration became a campaign issue.

''Look at them,'' Mr. Marcos said at a rally in Manila on Thursday. ''These people who were collaborating with the enemy when we were fighting the enemy - now they have the nerve to question my war record.'' Officials of Wartime Government

Mr. Marcos offered no evidence that either opposition candidate had collaborated with the Japanese. But Jose P. Laurel, father of Salvador Laurel, served as President of the Japanese puppet government from 1943 to 1945. When the United States recaptured the Phillipines in 1945, he fled to Tokyo. Benigno Aquino Sr., father-in-law of Corazon Aquino, served as a senior minister under Jose Laurel.

On the other side, many Filipinos say they believe that Mr. Marcos's father, Mariano, collaborated with the Japanese as a propagandist, an assertion that Mr. Marcos disputes. He says the Japanese executed his father.

The Philippines was a United States possession before the war, but Japan held the country from 1942 to 1945. The country became independent in 1946.

Among many Filipinos, Japan was regarded as just another occupier, as the United States had been. In the Philippines, collaboration was not the clear-cut issue it may have seemed in the West, said Dr. David J. Steinberg, president of Long Island University and a scholar on the Philippines. He wrote his doctoral dissertation on the collaboration issue.

Although the Japanese occupiers were brutal, particularly toward the end of the war, some Filipinos ''preferred Oriental rulers to Occidental,'' Charles C. McDougald, an author in San Francisco, writes in a book he is preparing on Mr. Marcos. Activities in Black Market

There is little direct evidence showing Mr. Marcos to have been a Japanese collaborator, but Army records leave little doubt that several men whom he named as members of his Ang Mga Maharlika guerrilla unit, including a man described as commander of the largest Maharlika company, were black marketeers.

The records - based on numerous signed affidavits from American and Filipino witnesses - say the men named as guerrillas sold important wartime commodities to the Japanese, while torturing and killing Filipinos who got in their way.

A United States Veterans Administration investigation completed in 1950 concluded that members of the ''Maharlika guerrilla forces during the Japanese occupation'' had been involved in ''questionable activities'' and ''atrocities.'' They were put on a V.A. blacklist, the records say, because they had ''committed themselves to trafficking in the sale of critical war materials to the brutal enemy.''

In one of the reports made public last week, two United States Army officers and one Filipino officer told American investigators that they had been told that Mr. Marcos was involved in the black-market sales. The officers said they could not confirm the allegation. Some of Files Withheld

Two years ago, when the United States Army prepared to give the National Archives the files that included those reports and more than a million others dealing with wartime activities in the Philippines, ''one small portion'' was not made public, said Mr. Hatcher, the Archivist. That portion included the lists of collaborators, and the reason it was not released was that the Marcos Government objected. It is not known whether the documents include any references to Mr. Marcos.

Much of the evidence that Mr. Marcos's opponents cite to tie him to collaboration is circumstantial and is based on his association with people known or believed to have been collaborators.

''It is widely believed in the Philippines that Marcos's father was killed by Filipino guerrillas during the war because he was helping the Japanese,'' said Dr. Salvador R. Gonzalez, a Filipino professor of philosophy who taught at the University of the Philippines and is now a fellow at Princeton.

Dr. Gonzalez said that although he is an opponent of Mr. Marcos, ''I myself, to be fair, don't think Marcos himself was a collaborator, although he did puff up his participation in the war.''

The United States Army has acknowledged that Mr. Marcos served with American units before the surrender at Bataan in 1942 and after the American invasion more than two years later. Mr. Marcos claims 26, 28, 30 or 33 military medals for that service, depending on which Philippine Government account is used. But the medals' validity has been disputed. Indebted to Jose Laurel

At the same time, Mr. Marcos was an indebted friend of Jose Laurel, the President during the occupation.

In 1936, Julio Nalundasan was slain - shot through the heart - just after he had defeated Mr. Marcos's father in a hotly contested campaign for the National Assembly. Three years later Ferdinand Marcos was convicted of the crime, but the Philippine Supreme Court overturned the conviction based on the dissenting vote of Jose Laurel, who was then a Supreme Court justice.

Mr. Marcos's authorized biography - its copyright is in Mr. Marcos's name - describes Jose Laurel as ''one of the great men of the Philippines'' and adds that Mr. Marcos ''idolized'' him. It also says he was ''shocked'' by Mr. Laurel's collaboration.

When Jose Laurel returned to the Philippines after the war, he was branded a collaborator, indicted and imprisoned briefly. But he was pardoned along with the others.

Since the war, Filipinos have been ambivalent on the issue, Philippine experts say.

Although the issue is emotional for Mr. Marcos and many others of his generation, to the vast majority of Filipinos it may not be as important; 70 percent of the nation's population is less than 30 years old.

Even during the war, Dr. Gonzalez said, many Filipinos ''admired the Japanese for their discipline.''

Dr. Steinberg said that while wartime collaboration ''is not a burning issue now,'' it is ''important to Marcos, whose support is based on having been a war hero.''

''Now that has been exposed,'' he said.

Today we are highlighting hand-colored collotype photographs of flowers by Ogawa Kazumasa from the ten-volume series Japan: Described and Illustrated by the Japanese written by eminent Japanese authorities and scholars and edited by Captain Francis Brinkley with an essay on Japanese art by Kakuzo Okakura, director of the Imperial Art School at Tokyo, Japan. The series was published by J. B. Millet Company in Boston in 1897. Our set is part of the “Imperial Edition” of 100 copies and it was imported and printed for Mr. A. A. L. Smith, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Ogawa Kazumasa (1860-1929) was a Japanese photographer, printer, and publisher known for introducing and expanding photographic technologies in Japan during the Meiji period. Ogawa studied photography since the age of 15, first moving to Tokyo and later the United States to learn the latest photographic processes. He returned to Japan in 1885 and established a portrait photography studio and later Japan's first collotype business. Collotypes were produced using gelatin-coated plates which replicated photographs in fine detail, but they were costly to produce and were often only offered in limited runs. The floral photographs we are featuring today are hand-colored collotypes.

Ogawa introduced the new halftone printing method to Japan. He traveled to the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893 and learned about the development of the halftone printing process which had the ability to produce photographs on lower quality paper in larger quantities. Ogawa bought the necessary printing equipment while in the United States and helped establish the halftone method in Japan, which allowed for photographs to be common in magazines and newspapers. His legacy in Japan is that he popularized many photographic printing methods which led to the popularity of illustrated books, magazines, and newspapers that were intended both for a Japanese domestic market and an international market that was interested in photography albums depicting “traditional” life in Japan, which was a part of the larger Japonisme influence on the West following the forced reopening of trade with Japan in the 1850s.

Scopri il libro besteseller dell'anno in cui sei nato, questo l’articolo in cui sono incappata su internet: https://www.bookbub.com/blog/bestselling-books-the-year-you-were-born

E ho subito pensato sarebbe stato carino parlarne anche sul mio blog e magari ricavarne un video.

Nel video sopra scorro per la prima volta con voi la lista di libri bestseller (in America), stilata dagli autori dell’articolo, dal 1920 al 2016 e commento i romanzi citati e le mancanze riscontrate.

Io ho scoperto di essere nata l’anno in cui bestseller in America era il romanzo tratto dalla sceneggiatura di E.T, ma anche l’anno di pubblicazione di La valle dei cavalli, secondo libro del Ciclo dei figli della terra di Jean Marie Auel, che io amo molto e a cui dedicherò presto un post esaustivo.

E voi in che anno siete nati e quale era il libro bestseller di quell’anno?

Qui sotto i link ad alcuni dei libri e dei film che cito nel video, nel caso vi interessi saperne di più:

Cimarron, di Edna Ferber, autrice anche di Il gigante, Show Boat ,Saratoga è praticamente introvabile come libro, ma sempre della stessa autrice è invece di facile reperibilità So big. Una storia americana.

Trama: "La vita è tutta una grande avventura": così diceva Simeon Peake, di professione giocatore d'azzardo, a Selina, la figlia adolescente. Erano gli anni Ottanta dell'Ottocento a Chicago, dove i due vivevano in balìa dei capricci della fortuna, ma con brio. Quando Simeon muore, Selina si rimbocca le maniche e diventa maestra in una minuscola scuola di campagna. L'attende un mondo duro ma autentico, fatto di campi sconfinati che brillano come giada sotto il sole e di fattorie isolate abitate da robusti immigrati olandesi, contadini di poche parole e ancora meno fantasie. Qui, con la tempra dei grandi sognatori incapaci di disincanto, Selina vive la sua breve ma intensa storia d'amore. E plasma la "grande avventura" per se stessa e il figlio Dirk, mentre intorno a loro pulsa una nazione in tumultuosa crescita, spietata e generosa, percorsa dai fremiti del sogno americano e dell'imminente crisi mondiale.

Le chiavi del regno, di A. Joseph Cronin

Trama: Francis Chisholm è un prete "scomodo", un ribelle nel nome del Vangelo. Il suo cammino verso Dio è una selva di ostacoli, è come se Dio lo mettesse continuamente alla prova, seminandogli la strada di continue calamità e tentazioni. Guerre, cataclismi, pestilenze, violenze sono il prezzo che Francis Chisholm paga per le anime guadagnate alla fede e per la conquista delle "chiavi del regno".

Trama: Inviato dal Senato in Palestina a presiedere le truppe di frontiera, Marcello Gallio dovrà eseguire la condanna a morte di un pericoloso ribelle sovversivo che ha minacciato di distruggere il tempio di Gerusalemme. Dopo la crocifissione si aggiudica ai dadi la sua veste, un indumento "insanguinato" che trema di una luce misteriosa, che gli ispira un senso di malinconia e di pace e un desiderio indomabile di conoscere la storia del suo possessore. Travestito da mercante di stoffe, Marcello inizierà un lungo pellegrinaggio che lo porta sui luoghi frequentati da Gesù fino ad arrivare a Roma dove scopre il regime di terrore di Caligola e gli inizi della persecuzione dei cristiani.

Alla larga dal mare, di William Brinkley

Trama: Durante la seconda guerra mondiale, nella base navale di Tulura, un'isola dell'oceano Pacifico, c'è uno speciale ufficio dedicato alla pubblicità della marina militare americana. Gli uomini del reparto hanno il compito di fornire relazioni e notizie sulla guerra in corso nell'oceano per pubblicizzare lo sforzo bellico Americano e incrementare gli arruolamenti, e se la passano molto bene dal momento che sono lontani da ogni azione e su una splendida isola. Gli unici prolemi che hanno sono quasi solo di tipo sentimentale, infatti Il tenente Siegel si è innamorato di Melora Alba, un'indigena che non ha fiducia negli stranieri, mentre il soldato Garret si è innamorato del tenente del corpo ausiliare Alicia Tomlen, anche se una relazione tra un soldato e l'ufficiale è proibita. Siegel per aiutare l’amico finge di corteggiare Alicia, richiedendo Adam come loro autista durante le loro uscite in modo che i due innamorati possano passare del tempo assieme. A complicare ancora di più le cose però ci penseranno lo strano capo di Siegel, un tenente playboy e l'attrice Deborah Aldrich che vuole imbarcarsi su un incrociatore.... Non c’è mai pace per un pubblicitario a quanto sembra.

Rossella, di Alexandra Ripley

Ma ora che Rhett se n'è andato, sconvolto dalla morte della loro bambina, e che anche Mammy l'ha lasciata, consumata dalla malattia, neppure Tara, la sua amata terra, riesce a darle sollievo. È altrove che deve cercare la felicità. Ad Atlanta potrà riprendere in mano i suoi affari, ritrovare il conforto che le parole del caro Ashley sanno dare. E aspettare che Rhett torni da lei, ora che sa di volerlo più di ogni altra cosa. O forse il vento questa volta, la porterà lontano verso una nuova vita. Fino a quando una lieve brezza non giungerà ad annunciare che un altro giorno è davvero arrivato.

Al centro delle vicende dei due protagonisti e dei loro comprimari - il piccolo e indistruttibile Maggio, italoamericano di Brooklyn; il caporale Bloom e il suo dramma di essere ebreo; i due vitali ma malinconici omosessuali Hal e Tommy; l'intellettuale e filosofo sempre in carcere Jack Malloy - vi sono le relazioni di Warden e Prewitt, tra loro e con le loro donne: Karen, la moglie del capitano Holmes, fragile e alla disperata ricerca di essere amata; e Lorene, la prostituta determinata a diventare un giorno una donna e una moglie rispettabile.

Libro: https://amzn.to/39yi66W

Love story di Erich Segal

Lui è Oliver Barrett IV, figlio di una ricchissima famiglia della East Coast, giocatore di hockey, studente ad Harvard, già lanciato verso una brillante carriera in Legge. Lei è Jennifer Cavilleri, studentessa di musica dal look un po' hippie, figlia di un italo-americano che si guadagna da vivere in maniera semplice e onesta come pasticciere. Opposti in tutto ma, proprio come gli opposti, inevitabilmente attratti l'uno dall'altra. Appartengono a due mondi lontani, ma basta un incontro casuale per accendere tra loro una passione capace di superare barriere, sfidare convenzioni, stravolgere sogni e progetti. Lui, abituato a conquistare trofei e ragazze, è folgorato dall'ironia tagliente di Jenny e dalla sua capacità di leggergli dentro e capirlo nel profondo. Lei, solare e ostinata, affronta la vita con grinta e coraggio, anche quando la vita stessa mostra il suo volto più duro. Anche quando chiederà a entrambi la prova più difficile. Questa è la storia di due ragazzi che si sono amati a vent'anni. Di un amore intenso, struggente, indimenticabile.

Flora and Sylva

Ogawa Kazumasa (1860-1929) was a Japanese photographer, printer, and publisher known for introducing and expanding photographic technologies in Japan during the Meiji period. Ogawa studied photography since the age of 15, first moving to Tokyo and later the United States to learn the latest photographic processes. He returned to Japan in 1885 and established a portrait photography studio and later Japan’s first collotype business. Collotypes were produced using gelatin-coated plates which replicated photographs in fine detail, but they were costly to produce and were often only offered in limited runs. The floral photographs we are featuring today are hand-colored collotypes.

Can Kanye Cut Costs for a Costco Couture Collection?

According to a �Wall Street Journal� story, West has plans to make a �perfect hoodie� that he mused may end up at the legendary membership-only warehouse chain

Kanye & Costco

Francis Dean/Shutterstock

Kanye West wants to make the perfect hoodie. In his estimation, the 90-year-old garment �is arguably the most important piece of apparel of the last decade.� Kanye�s quest for said perfect sweatshirt is at the centerpiece of his recent WSJ Magazine cover story. According to writer Christina Brinkley�s description of the hoodie, it would cost $60, weigh as much as a coat, crop at your waist, fold like a loaf of bread, and be meant for mass consumption. More surprising than what the hoodie could potentially be is where West wants to sell it.

�I like Costco as an idea,� West says. �I like Walmart, too.�

Apparently the Jesus Is King musician admires the membership-only warehouse chains, which is surprising considering he has a history of critiquing such establishments for their practices. On 2004�s �Never Let Me Down,� West lamented, �But I know they don�t want me in the damn club/They even made me show ID to get inside of Sam�s Club.� They also make you show a membership ID to get inside of Costco, but that�s neither here nor there. At the time of publication, West had not informed the public on his thoughts regarding BJs.

Costco is a cornucopia of bulk-buying enchantment, the kind of place where (in non-pandemic times) you could easily grab a lifetime supply of Cheez-Its and CapriSun, while also scoring a $1.50 hot dog. So it makes complete sense from a brand-synergy perspective why Yeezy would like to one day sell there, if mass consumption is his goal.

Popular on Rolling Stone

Keeping in line with West�s aspirations to one day line the tables of Costco with Yeezy-branded sweatshirts was the latest muse for his apparel. �This collection is couture for the service industry,� he explained. Unfortunately, when asked if the same people inspiring his clothes could one day afford it, all West could say was, �We�re not focusing on prices right now. We�re only focusing on creativity.�

Bí quyết bất tử của người xưa

Hãy cùng khám phá những bí quyết kỳ lạ mà người xưa đã sử dụng trong cuộc đua kéo dài tuổi thọ.Trường sinh bất lão là mơ ước từ xa xưa của con người. Bởi vậy họ đã cố gắng hết sức để tìm mọi cách làm chậm lại vòng tuần hoàn sinh lão bệnh tử của kiếp người. Mặc dù các phương pháp kỳ lạ được kể dưới đây đều thất bại, nhưng điều đó không có nghĩa là con người sẽ bỏ cuộc trong hành trình đi chìa khóa cho cuộc sống vĩnh cửu.

Một phương thuốc thần kỳ “biến đổi ông già thành thanh niên” đã được tìm thấy trên mẩu giấy cói có niên đại 1600 năm trước Công nguyên. Theo công thức này, ta phải trộn một loại quả có tên là hemayet với nước, sau đó đun sôi và sấy khô rồi sử dụng.

Vào thế kỷ 6 trước Công nguyên, một quyển sách tiếng Phạn tên là Sushruta Samhita khuyên những người muốn sống thọ nên uống hỗn hợp vàng, mật ong, bột rễ cây và bơ sau khi tắm vào buổi sáng.
