The Boer War - ten things you didn't know!

The Boer War is a forgotten conflict that pitched the British Empire against a group of white settlers in Africa. Tony McMahon investigates.

The Boer War – a huge and bloody conflict that dominated the news at the turn of the 20th century. The biggest military conflict since the wars against Napoleon Bonaparte. And a grim foreshadowing of the two World Wars that lay ahead. Yet today, it’s large forgotten. Why? Below, I’m going to list ten things you need to know about the Boer War. But first, let’s go through some background so the…

Eerste vrouwen Transie-Binhood eindigt 7-0

Eerste vrouwen Transie-Binhood eindigt 7-0

De datum van 8 januari 2023 gaat de boeken in als de dag waarop de allereerste vrouwen versie van de Surinaamse klassieker Transvaal vs Robinhood is gespeeld. Waar bij de mannen de krachtsverschillen tussen de twee meestal niet groot waren, is de ontmoeting van de vrouwen een afgetekende 7-0 overwinning geworden voor Transie. Nu reeds zou gesteld kunnen worden dat Transvaal mogelijk de grootste…

"Villains of a more noble ilk than you made me cautious and resourceful and scrappy..... but you.... you just made me mean!" -Scrooge McDuck

One of my favorite parts of "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck", by Don Rosa.

--And--

Another addition to the "Glomgold is just a sociopathic dandelion" paintings. Stefano Intini has a very cartoony style, and I love it.

#OTD in 1916 – Easter Rising | Irish patriot, John MacBride, is executed by firing squad in Kilmainham Gaol.

Born in Westport, Co Mayo, MacBride travelled to America in 1896 to further the aims of the IRB, thereafter travelling to South Africa where he raised the Irish Transvaal Brigade, which became known as MacBride’s Brigade, to fight against the English during the Second Boer War where, as happened far too often in history, Irish fought against Irish. A larger number of Irish (whose sympathies led…

What type of Lion is Mollys dad, African or Asiatic?

You know I never really thought of it before, this question got me looking up different types of lions, and just based on appearance I'd say he'd be a Transvaal lion

(Picture to the right is said lion)

Another picture just because

Animal of the Day!

Transvaal Lion (Panthera leo krugeri)

(Photo by Arantxa Hernandez)

Conservation Status- Vulnerable

Habitat- Southern Africa

Size (Weight/Length)- 230 kg; 3 m

Diet- Large mammals

Cool Facts- While the transvaal lion is a subspecies of the African lion, they are no less majestic. The majority of their population lives in Kruger National Park where they dominate over the other predators of the region. Living in massive prides, transvaal lions are one of the few lion subspecies to take down elephants and giraffes. Due to their relatively small numbers and small territorial region, transvaal lions can sometimes sport leucism in which their fur is extremely pale but their eyes are not red, making them white lions rather than albinos.

Rating- 11/10 (White lions, but not really.)

Animtober- Gargoyle (They’re based on lions.)

I don’t understand your joke about Turks and Romanians being cissy. What do they have to do with cis?

Transylvania -> Cisylvania Transcaucasia -> Ciscaucasia Trans just means across, and so there's tons of regions named after being... across a mountain range or other region. Like Transylvania, being across .. well this one is across the woods [I had assumed an area of the Carpathians was named Sylvania, although apparently that just means 'the woods' or something of that matter] ... meaning Cisylvania would just be. On the same side of the woods that whoever named it is from. Same with Transcaucasia being the name for countries on the other side of the Caucasus mountains, Ciscaucasia would be on the same side of the Caucasus as whoever named it. Although I had assumed it was the Romans that named it [meaning 'our side' would be in Turkiye/Anatolia] but apparently after a quick google search Ciscaucasia is actually the NORTH Caucasus, meaning it'd be the Russian side. The same with Italy. Transalpine is north of the Alpine mountains, Cisalpine is south of the Alpine mountains. For the South African bit, there was the province of Transvaal in South Africa which was... across the Vaal river. And so - Cisvaal would be south of the Vaal river. If I remember the post I said it on, it was someone saying that Cis is a slur... but like. That is just the word for 'on this side' in latin. And there are places... just. Named that. Because it's "on this side" of whatever power named the region. Hope this is mildly helpful 👍

#AskAvie #Realistically you can do this with any geographic feature #instead of saying “I'm the best shot on this side of the Mississippi!” you could say “I'm the best shot in cismississippi” #assuming that 'on this side' is the side of the east coast anyways #OH LIKE!! TRANS ATLANTIC FLIGHTS>>> ACIS ATLANTIC FLIGHT WOULD JUST BE. A FLIGHT IN THE OLD WORD ! #my humble apologies for this rant i am pretty sure it was elon musk that said cis is a slur right? #like. the south african #the country that historically has a major region called Transvaal #like. that one? that elon musk? #>:/ #wharever
