‘How much better is it to have poverty with no master than wealth with slavery?’ - Boudica, according to the Roman historian Cassius Dio.
Boudica, the storied queen of the ancient British Iceni tribe amid Roman conquest, has long been a heroine and patriotic symbol of Britain. Still, many of the details of her life, including the tribal revolt she led and her death at its end circa 60 CE, have long been murky - mostly gleaned via the writings of ancient Roman historians, sometimes centuries after the fact.
However, as this short film from the UK animator Emma Calder details, recent archeological discoveries are helping modern historians better understand her life and times outside of the ancient Roman perspective. Commissioned by Norfolk Museums Service, and animated using an idiosyncratic combination of illustrated and stop-motion animation by Calder, Boudica: A Norfolk Story integrates these findings as it explores what’s known, and what’s still left to discover, about this legendary woman’s story.

    For anyone that's interested, here are the lyrics of Athenaeus' Paean: Κέκλυθ’ Ἑλικῶνα βαθύδενδρον αἵ λάχετε Διὸς ἐριβρόμου θύγατρες εὐώλενοι, μόλετε, συνόμαιμον ἵνα Φοῖβον ὠιδαεῖσι μέλψητε χρυσεοκόμαν, ὅς ἀνὰ δικόρυνβα Παρνασσίδος τᾶσδε πετέρας ἕδραν ἅμ’ ἀγάκλυταιεῖς Δελφίσιιν, Κασταλίδος εὐύδρου νάμματ’ ἐπινίσεται Δελφόν ἀνὰ πρῶνα μαντεῖον ἐφέπων πάγον. And for anyone like me who would like to sing it, but can't red ancient greek well, this is the phonetic transcription I made of how the it would have been pronounced at that time, in IPA: [céklytʰ elikɔ̂ːna batʰýdendron hǎi̯ lácʰete diòs̠ eɾibrómuː tʰýgatres̠ eu̯ɔ̌ːlenoi̯ ǀ mólete ǀ s̠ynómai̯mon hína pʰôi̯bon ɔːi̯daîːs̠i mélp͡s̠ɛːte kʰrys̠eokómaːn ǀ hós̠ anà dikóɾynba paɾnasːídos̠ tâːs̠de petéɾas̠ hédraːn hám agaklytai̯îːs̠ delpʰís̠iin ǀ kastalídos̠ eu̯ýdruː námːat epinís̠etai̯ delpʰòn anà prɔ̂ːna mantêːon epʰépɔːn págon] Feel free to correct me on any mistakes I may have made!

    Mr Buckley completely ignores the fact that his great and grand parents "worked" Mr Baldwins people. Using them as their hands to plant and pick, using them for sexual gratification and to acquire new bodies to enslave, selling people when times are "tough", buying when times are "good". His tone and lack of fkg respect for Mr Baldwin revolts me.

    So sad the so called "priests" said the unwed pregnant ladies were a "shame". The shame is the stealing of children and the nuns abuse of them. Putting babies and small children through hunger and denied any love and affection. Denying the mother of her own child. What was their motive? Perhaps the money they got from the government? Does this not make the government complicit in this horrendous affair. Also does it not expose the catholic church for the crimes against humanity in regard to what they did all for their real goal: MONEY; a sin in itself!

    Wow! The Panopticon "Correctional Facility" concept is doomed to pervert the view of DETENTION (for Convicts), because it excludes Normative Habitat design (which naturally supports the ORDERLY INDIVIDUAL BETTERMENT of God's Creation). Simply, the concept of DETENTION FOR MALEFACTORS should include the understanding that the Convicts are to be humanely treated in a Normative Habitat (away from law abiding citizen areas, where they break the laws) for the remainder of their sentence (time served). (NOTE: Each DETAINEE DESERVES THEIR OWN SPACE [small cell block house] to self-regulate. The Double Occupancy cell rooms that are common in most Incarceration Facilities are detrimental to the individual Health and Well-being of the detained/imprisoned.) So, I propose that "Open-Air Detention Centers" replace Jails and Prisons throughout the World. Each detainee deserves their own "7ft by 10ft house" (flat-bed trailer unit, including a bed, shelf area, wet bath [toilet/shower combo], and desk [w/ a keyboard for a 7inch tablet to connect to]) in an Open-Air Cell Block (3 house units on one side of a path and 3-4 units on the other side of a path surrounded by a track). Also, each detainee would be assigned a cell block tricycle (to roll around the track). The far ends (corners) of each cell block would include a Fitness Shed (w/ a weight bench, and fitness machine [treadmill]), Basketball Hoop, and Picnic Table (w/ a TV screen above). Furthermore, each "Open-Air Detention Center" would include a Guard Center, and Service Center.

    A fusion of art, function, and beauty. The Katana Sword reigns as one of man's finest achievements. It's grace and form only matched by the arts that taught those worthy of its heritage. It is a bond that transcends the very fiber of what it means to be human. And takes the Katana to the very world of gods, beasts, and some say even magic. It is not just the soul of a warrior, it is the very extension of his/her bond between those that dwell in the heavens, those of the underworld, and those not yet deemed worthy of paradise. It is a living symbol of something greater than oneself. It is a symbol of honor, pride, fealty to one's Emperor and Clan Lord, and family. For its cut is as delicate as the lotus, yet cuts as deep as the claw of the fiercest of tigers.

Maralinga Air Field was less than 15 miles from the test site., The two aircraft shown parked at the north end of the field, at 10:30, are British Vickers Valiant high-altitude jet bombers designed to carry nuclear weapons.
