Little silly university-sketches dump
So my good friend @louieclamlent adviced me several times to publish the little sketches i make when i'm bored in university or just inspired.
It's mainly Holmes and Watson sketches, as those two live rent free in my head and i made these sketches during my Hygien lessons this semester since i already passed that exam. There will be my notes on the side and yep, they're very colorful, my friends call them 'the gay pride notes'

We were talking of the necessity or not of screening tests and of over diagnosis, which is an actual problem but GOD, he treated it in such an infuriating way.
Tumblr media
While he talked quite well of trials and levels of research
Tumblr media
Ans this one was made for my GF, @mostvaliantandmostpround, and also because my love for this man is quite endless.
Now to the other professor! This one was very very nice
Tumblr media
As our Watson says, we really dealt a strong hit to infective illnesses!
Tumblr media
And only the parassite (fungi, bacteria, virus, parasite) isn't all that's needed to get the illness. Mind your stress levels, guys, and take care!
Tumblr media
AAAAND Holmes shouldn't dive into contaminated water!
Tumblr media
When they're alone, he's the one to wash the dishes, as he knows disinfecting methods very well, it's like cleaning chemistry's glasswere.
Tumblr media
Vaxes, of course!
Tumblr media
And there's no art in vaxes, as Holmes would say
Tumblr media
But air pollution is BAD for you. Tobacco too!
Tumblr media
listen to your husband and your brother, please, holmes. Smoke and fumes are BAD for you!
Tumblr media
Climate change is ALSO bad
Tumblr media
Happy, retired, bickering on who left chemistry supplies near the food, as they could contaminate it
Tumblr media
And Holmes WON'T buy that dress!

Aside from Lemuen, I think the funniest thing this event has revealed is that Mostima is a Legatus - which is pretty far from the fanon assumption that she was on the outs with the church on account of the whole “fallen angel” thing.
For those of you who aren’t history nerds raised catholic, legatus is the Latin term for a papal legate, an appointed permanent representative of the Pope to an allied nation or religious order. A modern legate is essentially equivalent in diplomatic rank to a full ambassador, though they are often treated as holding a de facto higher rank due to their historical importance in Europe.
Historical legates were often even more powerful. Perhaps the best known in English history is Thomas Wolsey, who was often called England’s second king during the early years of Henry VIII’s rule (and whose refusal to permit Henry’s divorce led to the formation of the Church of England). Other roles for Legates included de jure leadership of whole Crusades, and governing several provinces of the Papal States.
But better than that is the most famous non-legate - a man by the name of Armand Jean du Plessis, who most people would know as Cardinal Richelieu. Richelieu sought to be named the legate to France - where he was already an extremely powerful man - on multiple occasions, but was repeatedly turned down by Urban VIII.
basically what I’m saying is that in a strictly political and diplomatic sense, Mostima outranks Cardinal Richelieu. do with this what you will

my Hebrew teacher asked us to prepare some kind of a report on any historical figure in order to practice the past tense, which we are currently studying (I think that there is no need to elaborate whom and why I’ve chosen because it’s pretty obvious). the first step I’ve taken was searching for an article about Richelieu in Hebrew Wikipedia just for picking up some words that might have probably come in handy, but when search was complete and I started scrolling, I stumbled upon this:
Tumblr media
it’s a part of the table which is in the very beginning of every Wikipedia article and contains a short summary about particular person or event. the Hebrew inscription in this line says, from what I gather, “spouse”. at least two questions immediately arise: who is this woman and why is she called Richelieu’s spouse, even though he could not have had a wife and never had one, and besides, I have never seen her name in any of his biographies?
I’ve started to investigate what was going on and ended up having to edit the Wikipedia article for the first time in my life
thus, Anne-Madeleine de Conty d’Argencourt, who was born in 1637(!!), was a maid of honour of Anne of Austria in 1657. in 1658, she had an affair with Louis XIV for a while and afterwards became a mistress of Jean-Baptiste Amador de Vignerot du Plessis, marquis of Richelieu — a great-nephew of our precious cardinal. it irritated the king, therefore she chose to retire to the convent of the Filles de Sainte Marie de Chaillot
Tumblr media
and what is the result of all this? the one who had written that article had not only called a mistress a spouse, but also got the two members of house of Richelieu muddled up. right now this shame has been wiped off the face of the earth for ever, so if you go and check it out, you won’t find even a glimpse of this line. but the fact remains — and if anyone ever tells you that Armand had a wife, who was in fact 52 years younger than him, you can be sure that they have simply read this particular Wikipedia page

Richelieu- Background and social outlook
Armand-Jean du Plessis de Richelieu's family background and personal career made him familiar with all three estates of the realm plus the royal court and government. His father, François, had risen from the lesser nobility of Poitou to become grand provost at the Valois court. The elder Richelieu was in charge of maintaining order and provisions within the king's personal retinue and was ranked just below the great officers of the king's household (which included the masters of the stable, hunt, wardrobe, and king's chamber). François died serving as a captain of the guards for Henry IV when Armand, born in 1585, was not yet five.
Armand's eldest brother, Henri, was well positioned as a courtiersoldier during Louis XIII's minority; a second brother, Alphonse, decided on the monastic life. Armand was groomed by Louis XIII's riding master, Pluvinel, to be a courtier-soldier, but he was also inclined to theological studies. In 1607, Richelieu embarked on an ecclesiastical career when he assumed the family's recently acquired ecclesiastical post at Luçon. Bishop of a poor diocese, almoner to Queen Anne, and finally a cardinal and holder of several benefices, he was as committed a cleric as he was instinctively a gentilhomme.
Tumblr media
Through his mother, Suzanne de La Porte, Richelieu had another rich inheritance. Her Poitevin grandfather had been a tax agent for a local prince, her father a celebrated parlementary lawyer who helped frame the great sixteenth-century ordinances of royal laws. The La Portes were as successful members of the robe nobility as the Richelieus were typical nobles of the sword. The Richelieu who served Louis XIII was a unique exemplar of the values of the three estates. As a cleric, he blended Catholic reformationist zeal and reverence for the Papacy with an appreciation of the autonomy of the French monarchy. He had come to court as a friend of such religious devots as Pierre Bérulle, who founded the second of his famous Oratory seminaries at Luçon; however, bon Français leanings lay just beneath the surface. Unlike the devots, but like Louis XIII, Richelieu respected the Huguenots, while wanting to see them convert peacefully. As bishop of Luçon, he had written a polemic against Calvinism, fought off an attempt by local Huguenots to build a temple adjacent to his cathedral, and fretted about the Protestant state within the state, whose greatest seaboard town of La Rochelle lay just down the road.
Richelieu came to the court with some of the style of a Second Estate noble. He married his relatives into great families like the Condés. He pursued personal wealth. He even used public funds for private interests. Yet he saw the nobility's greatness not in independent lawless acts, but in service to the monarch. He earned the title of duke and peer in that service. And he joined his king in condemning noble violence, horrified by an uncle's dueling death, his father's killing of the offender in a second duel, and his brother Henri's demise in a duel over the spoils of the first War of the Mother and Son.
When it came to the ways of the Third Estate, this descendant of jurists was a curious blend of royal reformer and pragmatist. Like his royal master, he was opposed on principle to venal officeholding and judicial obstruction of state laws; yet he knew how crucial parlementary loyalty was to establishing a climate of submissiveness, by subjects both high and low. Louis had a habit of lecturing judges for interfering with affairs of what he called "my state"; Richelieu saw the need to bring the judgmental ruler around to a compromise that advanced the cause of that state.
Differences in their social outlook were less significant than shared attitudes. Had it been otherwise, Richelieu would have quickly suffered the fate of Louis's previous advisors. The self-effacing monarch who was comfortable in the dress of a simple soldier could tolerate ostentatious tastes only in a cardinal who liked to lead his armies. The frugal king who talked benevolently of "my poor people" could understand the duke and peer who thought of the poor as beasts of burden, at their best when working hard.

Cada 4 de diciembre se celebra el Día Internacional del Cabernet Franc, considerada una de las más exquisitas cepas de vino y el mejor acompañante de platos de sabores intensos, pertenecientes a la gastronomía internacional.
Origen de este día internacional
La celebración del Día Internacional del Cabernet Franc se realiza cada 4 de diciembre, en reconocimiento a Armand Jean du Plessis, cardenal-duque de Richelieu, quien llevó esta cepa de vino a la zona de Burdeos, Francia.
En tal sentido, el origen del Cabernet Franc se ubica en la región de Loire, en el centro de Francia. Se estima que en el siglo XVII el cardenal Richelieu transportó esquejes de la vid, desde el valle del río Loire. Posteriormente, este cepaje se extendió al suroeste del país, en Libourne.
El Cabernet Franc: una cepa de vino distinguida
El Cabernet Franc es una variedad de uva originaria del suroeste de Francia, específicamente de la región de Burdeos.
Es una de las cepas de vino más conocidas en todo el mundo. Se compone de notas silvestres provenientes de hierbas aromáticas, tales como la peperina, la menta y la albahaca. El racimo de esta variedad de uva es compacto, con una forma cónica y cilíndrica. Sus bayas son pequeñas y de color azul negro.
Entre las características más resaltantes del Cabernet Franc se destacan el líquido con un cuerpo ligero, una acidez equilibrada y la cantidad de taninos (compuestos fenólicos que se acumulan en las frutas). Es el perfecto acompañante en la degustación de platos con sabores fuertes, preparados con ingredientes tales comoquesos de gran intensidad (brie, roquefort), carnes (cordero) y salsas.
El cultivo y vinificación de esta cepa de origen francés se ha extendido a nivel mundial, en países como Hungría, España, Bulgaria, Chile, Eslovenia, Italia, Kazajistán, China, Nueva Zelanda, Sudáfrica y Australia.
Puedes consultar información adicional sobre este tema, en los artículos sobre el Día Mundial del Vino Tinto y el Día Mundial de la Sangría.
Celebra este gran día con una buena copa de Cabernet Franc. Comparte información útil e interesante sobre el Día Internacional del Cabernet Franc en las redes sociales. Utiliza los hashtags #CabernetFranc #DiaDelCabernetFranc #CabernetFrancDay
