This huge list is possible because of your help. ![]() “Meals” in general are one of my primary responsibilities in our family, and every Friday, as I planned for the week ahead, I felt like my process was random, clunky, and time-consuming. But I found that I was still struggling a bit with organization and the general overwhelm that comes from the task of getting dinner on the table. The SOS style recipes were so great, and I continue to love them. I made that series because I NEEDED THAT SERIES. That series saved my life in a very real way after the birth of my second daughter as I started to go back to work. I started to explore this idea a bit with the SOS series earlier this year. My life experiences, ranging from the heaviness of grief and loss, to the circus that is having a toddler and a baby (and a dog that acts like a baby?), have made me so curious and passionate about the overlap of what’s enjoyable with cooking and what’s realistic with cooking. It feels like a lot because it is a lot.įor me, these last few years of my life have dramatically changed the way I look at food. ![]() Working, caregiving, relationships, laundry, dishes, cleaning, general adulting, mental health, physical health, maintaining any sense of a social life, seasons of grief and struggle and exhaustion… there are 101 reasons why sometimes it’s just hard to make dinner. These are my set of circumstances, and yes, they currently center around the two tiny humans in our house, but obviously the struggle to get dinner on the table isn’t specific to parenting. I now understand that making a nice dinner, in a clean kitchen, with music of my choice, alone, to eat at a calm and quiet pace between 6-8pm is a very different weeknight dinner experience from coming home from work to a baby crying, a dog howling, a toddler needing a snack on the yellow plate but not that yellow plate, and facing a house-wide meltdown if I don’t get some dinner food into these wild munchkins by 5:15pm sharp. I didn’t really experience this until becoming a parent. Weeknight dinners are… how do I say this? They are just hard. So on the topic of January, can we touch on weeknight dinners for a moment? Our holiday series was a blast.īut HALLO here it comes! The new year, the daily grind, back in full force, in just about two seconds! Hello, January. Looking for more meal plans?

It is recorded that while all his staff members were celebrating, "Yamamoto alone" spent the day after Pearl Harbor "sunk in apparent depression". Moreover, he seemed later to have believed that the Pearl Harbor attack had been a blunder strategically, morally, and politically, even though he was the person who originated the idea of a surprise attack on the military installation. Yamamoto did believe that Japan could not win a protracted war with the United States. Randall Wallace, the screenwriter of the 2001 film Pearl Harbor, readily admitted that he copied the line from Tora! Tora! Tora! However, Forrester cannot produce the letter, nor can anyone else, American or Japanese, recall it or find it. Williams, in turn, has stated that Larry Forrester, the screenwriter, found a 1943 letter from Yamamoto to the Admiralty in Tokyo containing the quotation. ![]() The director of Tora! Tora! Tora!, Richard Fleischer, stated that while Yamamoto may never have said those words, the film's producer, Elmo Williams, had found the line written in Yamamoto's diary. ![]() The 2019 film Midway also features Admiral Yamamoto speaking aloud the sleeping giant quote. Īn abridged version of the quotation is also featured in the 2001 film Pearl Harbor. But when she awakes the world will tremble". Vermont Royster offers a possible origin to the phrase attributed to Napoleon, "China is a sickly, sleeping giant. I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve. The quotation is portrayed at the very end of the 1970 film Tora! Tora! Tora! as: Isoroku Yamamoto's sleeping giant quotation is a film quote by the Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto regarding the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor by forces of Imperial Japan. Hypervelocity "darts" (Armour Piercing Discarding Sabot Fin Stabilized APDSFS) fired from tank cannon are much harder to defeat, and using current or near term technology the only practical means of defeating such rounds is plates of high strength and density armour.Ī tank cannon is a huge piece of equipment, firing large 120mm rounds and having massive recoil, so you need the tank to carry it around and use it effectively.Ī man portable railgun would resemble a recoilless cannon: While using rail or coil guns as infantry small arms is problematic (due to the various issues already discussed), there may be a place for railguns as a man portable anti tank weapon.Ĭurrent ATGM's generally use shaped charge warheads to actually penetrate the armour (the rocket motor just gets it there), and various techniques have been developed since WWII to defeat these types of warheads, including spaced armour (such as the "cages" around modern tanks), explosive reactive armour (the brick like devices attached to the outside of most Russian tanks) and even counter missiles like the Russian "Arena" or Israeli "Trophy" systems. This weapon is probably not suitable for infantry use. Touching or getting close to one of the rails would be exceedingly dangerous. The recoil from the projectile also supplies a recoil like a chemical slug thrower.Įach rail conducts high voltage and amperage current. The forces applied to the railgun try to rip the rails apart.

The force the projectile leaves on the weapon is it attempts to compress the coils (you'd get recoil similar to a normal weapon). Or even permanent magnet projectiles, most designs for high velocitiesĪctually incorporate a coupled coil as part of the projectile. Whilst some simple coilgun concepts can use ferromagnetic projectiles Sabot but coilguns do not necessarily require sliding contacts.

This requires high voltage, high amperage, high speed electrical switches. Powerful switches alternate the electromagnetic poles in the drive coils as the projectile passes through the coils. In short (links to follow as I find time to put them in). ![]() Samantha Power with Barack Obama in the White House in 2013. It culminated in her book A Problem from Hell So she dropped out of the law course and embarked on what ended up being a five year project on genocide. “The idea was you go to law school and you go get the bad guy somehow.” But she became absorbed instead in the question of why and how successive US administrations since the second world war had failed to respond effectively to genocide, for all the vows of “never again”. “I know this probably sounds not believable but I sincerely wanted policymakers to do something about the specific horror show in front of me.”Īt Harvard she imagined being a war crimes prosecutor at The Hague. ![]() It just seemed absurd but it did kind of follow me in a way that I found very discomfiting,” Power says. His implication that she was a calculating careerist still rankles: “It drove me crazy. When, at the height of the war, Power left Bosnia for Harvard Law School, one older male reporter told her – somewhat derisively but more prophetically than he could have imagined – that she was on her way to becoming secretary of state. “I think it was because of Mort that I had this annoying habit, which was to be constantly thinking: ‘What should Washington be doing?’ Which was ridiculous for a twentysomething stringer who barely knows how to file.” Looking back, she puts that drive down in part to a short stint working at a Washington thinktank, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and the influence of its president at the time, Morton Abramowitz, a retired diplomat who became her mentor. She was already focusing on how she might change events rather than merely describe them. ![]() Power was a decade or so younger than most, but even then was full of self-confidence and optimism about what she could achieve. We were part of a shifting group of journalists and aid workers who set up home in a Sarajevo bed and breakfast called The Hondo. I first met Power in Bosnia in the 1990s. It was the unfolding genocide in Bosnia that drew her there as a 23-year-old freelancer. It was watching TV pictures of the Chinese government crushing the Tiananmen protests in June 1989, and the famous image of a lone protester standing in front of a tank, that turned her from sports journalism to foreign policy. I wanted policymakers to do something about the specific horror show in front of meīefore entering government, Power had a single all‑encompassing preoccupation: how to respond to genocide and mass atrocities. “But it’s really abated a lot.” The pressure will return however, as the book is published and scrutinised, because it will be not just the painful episodes from Power’s youth that are being dissected, but also the decisions taken by the Obama administration that were at odds with her own beliefs and recommendations. “This period, after finishing the book, would be a perfect candidate,” she says. She doesn’t believe in neat ideas of “closure” – “There’s no moment where you just tie a bow around that stuff” – but she has noticed that since burrowing into her childhood, the demons have remained largely at bay. ![]() At 48, Power has now written a memoir, The Education of an Idealist, that charts not only her steep upward trajectory, but also her excavation of her Irish immigrant roots, where the clues to her bouts of breathlessness and pain lay hidden. The panic attacks persisted in the rare lulls during the hectic years of her stellar career that followed. That should have been a clue that something was a little bit amiss.” “I was like, what is wrong? I can’t breathe. “I had them in the summer of 1995 when there was a brief ceasefire,” she says. The symptoms would ambush her during the holidays, and later, while she was a freelance correspondent covering the Bosnian war, when the shelling stopped.
