This professor, Mr. Hardy, arranges for Ramanujan to come to Trinity as a student in order for the two of them to work together. But he plans to send for her once he is settled and sure that he can provide for her there. So once again, Janaki is living with her mother-in-law, and without her husband.

Ramanujan lived in England from During that time his wife never came to join him. She needs to employ a scribe to write her letters to her husband, but since she is not in charge of the household, she cannot send the letters herself.

She must ask her mother-in-law to do it. Her mother-in-law knows that her son plans to send for Janaki to come to live with him, and she is both afraid of being left alone and jealous of his love for his wife.

Janaki waits patiently for her husband to send for her. All the time she is doing her best to keep her relationship with her mother-in-law as amiable as possible. So many times Janaki is forced to hold her tongue when she is criticized or insulted by her, even in front of other people. But instead of giving vent to her anger, she leaves the room and goes to a spot in the temple where Ramanujan had written out some equations on the floor.

Occasionally, great scholars from abroad came to see Janaki, seeking answers to questions left behind by her legendary husband.

But she only had memories and gentle words to offer. As this seamstress of Triplicane said to one of them, the chief thing she remembered about her beloved Ramanujan was that he was always surrounded by sums and problems. Medium Rare is a column on society, politics and history.

The chief accountant of the port trust, S Narayana Rao, was a mathematician. The turning point came in when Ramanujan sent a letter to G H Hardy, a renowned mathematics professor at Trinity College, Cambridge. In the letter, he submitted about mathematical theorems without showing the details of how he had acquired the results.

A single look at them was enough to show that they could be written by a mathematician of the highest class. If he had not discovered them, nobody ever would have. Hardy invited Ramanujan to come to Cambridge for further study. Hardy and his colleague, J E Littlewood, went out of the way to admit Ramanujan to Cambridge University, despite his lack of a degree in mathematics. Ramanujan arrived at Cambridge in He published many new results on topics such as the number theory, infinite series and indefinite integrals.

One of the most spectacular results in mathematics is the Hardy-Ramanujan formula derived in for the number of partitions of an integer. Ramanujan was alone in England for almost five years April 14, , to February 27, In between he fell ill and was treated for tuberculosis TB in It is a very interesting number. It is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways. World War I prevented Janaki from joining Ramanujan to take care of him.

After the war Ramanujan returned to India in April making a mark for himself, although he was weak from prolonged confinement in hospitals. Janaki joined him in Madras and nursed him till his untimely death on April 26, Janaki kept all his loose notes in order, and on his death dutifully delivered them to the University of Madras.

On the afternoon of the Boxing Day holiday, , year-old Lesley Ann Downey disappeared from a local fairground, and again a huge police effort, bolstered by volunteers, unearthed no clues as to her whereabouts.

October 7, proved the turning point for the police, when Hindley's year-old brother-in-law, David Smith, arrived at Hyde Police station with a horrific tale of violence. Knowing Brady through the family connection, Smith was initially beguiled by Brady's unorthodox and violent politics, but this changed when he arrived at Hindley and Brady's home, on the evening of October 6, to witness Brady killing year-old Edward Evans with an axe.

After Evans was finally throttled with a length of electrical flex, Hindley and Brady joked about the mess, and also told Smith of other victims buried on the Moors. Concealing his horror for fear of meeting a similar fate, Smith assisted them with the clean up, before returning home to tell his wife and alert the police.

Convinced by Smith's tale, police and reinforcements arrived at Brady's home, found the body of Evans in an upstairs bedroom, and arrested Brady immediately. Brady claimed that there had been an argument between himself, Evans and Smith that had got out of hand, denying that Hindley had anything to do with the murder.

She remained at liberty until four days later, when police found a document in her car describing in detail how she and Brady had planned to carry out the murder. The investigation would probably have gone no further than the death of Evans, if Smith had not mentioned Brady's claim that other bodies were buried on Saddleworth Moor.

Already familiar with the various unexplained disappearances, police were able to pinpoint the area favored by Brady and Hindley, and began digging for the bodies of the children who had gone missing in the area over the previous two years. The naked body of Lesley Ann Downey was found on October 10, , followed eleven days later by the body of John Kilbride. Despite discovering the two bodies, the police had only circumstantial evidence against the pair.

Fortunately, a more thorough search of their home led to the discovery of a left luggage ticket, which led in turn to a locker at Manchester Central Station. There, Police found sadistic gadgets and pornography, including photographs of Lesley Ann, bound and gagged in Hindley's bedroom. A tape recording was also found, on which the little girl could be heard crying and begging for her life, as well as the voices of Brady and Hindley.

Her mother, Ann Downey, was forced to identify the voice on the tape as that of her daughter. Even with the mounting evidence against them, Brady and Hindley denied murdering Lesley Ann, trying again to implicate David Smith. They claimed that Lesley Ann had left their home unharmed, and that Smith must have murdered her later. The evidence linking Brady and Hindley with John Kilbride's murder was not as strong, but proved sufficient to charge them, with the result that they were charged with the murders of Edward Evans, Lesley Ann Downey and John Kilbride.

Despite exhaustive searches, the bodies of the other two victims could not be found, and no charges were brought. Hindley and Brady were brought to trial at Chester Assizes on April 27, , where they pleaded "not guilty" to all charges. Media interest was intense, and the pair's failure to show any remorse served to make public revulsion even greater. They were both jailed for life, with a minimum recommended sentence of 30 years for what are today known as the 'Moors Murders'.

Ian Brady went on a hunger strike at the high security Ashworth Psychiatric Hospital in October , demanding the legal right to starve himself to death, rather than serving the remainder of his life in prison. Hindley grew up with her grandmother in Manchester, England. A close friend died when she was fifteen, causing her to leave school and take up Roman Catholicism.

She met Ian Brady in Brady was recently released from prison and worked as a stock clerk when the two met. Brady tested her blind allegiance by including her on plans to rape and murder someone, and Hindley agreed.

Pauline Reade, 16, was the first victim that they raped and murdered. Hindley, a neighbour of Pauline's, claimed she "began to shake and cry" after reading a missing appeal by the youngster's parents and was subsequently throttled by Brady. The then year-old said Brady drove her down a "small winding country lane" on his motorbike at dusk and told her to get off.

He armed himself with a "sharp-bladed Stanley knife Hindley wrote: "All the time we were talking, he was still running the knife across his fingers, and I honestly thought he was going to stab me. I'd tried to fight him off strangling me and biting me, but the more I did the more the pressure increased. Hindley refers to life in her relationship as being in "Brady's prison" - and gives a graphic account of being urinated over as the letter closes. Hindley even claimed Brady drugged her grandmother by putting nembutal - a popular sleeping pill in the 50s and 60s - in her tea and later threatened to push the frail pensioner down a staircase to her death.

She describes how Brady sent her to Manchester central library to collect a series of books with a dark theme, including one called 'Sexual Murders'. He also asked her to buy books by the Marquis de Sade, a writer famed for his libertine sexuality.

I didn't know if it was loaded or not, but it petrified me, until one day I said 'Shoot me and put me out of my misery'. He just laughed. She also states: "I couldn't go to the police about him for there was no proof of anything, and whilst I feared and often hated him, I was so emotionally obsessed with him I just couldn't change my feelings for him.

It coincided with a High Court appeal against a ruling that his accomplice should never be released. He wrote: "[Myra] regarded periodic homicides as rituals of reciprocal innervation, marriage ceremonies theoretically binding us ever closer. He said he lied to cover for his former lover for "20 years" before she began to "fabricate" stories about the way he treated her.

Brady was also convicted of the murder of John Kilbride with Hindley found guilty of acting as an accessory. In Brady and Hindley confessed to two further murders - those of Pauline Reade and Keith Bennett whose remains have never been found. At least four of the children were sexually assaulted.

Two of the victims were discovered in graves dug on Saddleworth Moor - and a third grave was discovered there in The body of fourth victim, Keith Bennett, is also thought to be buried there but remains undiscovered. A never-before-seen autobiography chapter by Hindley is included in the documents, as is her will and a letter from missing victim Keith Bennett's brother, Alan, dated January - 34 years after the youngster's death.

There is also a letter from Hindley's lesbian lover, Dutch criminologist Nina Wilde, who met the killer at Cookham Wood prison, Kent in In her autobiographical notes, Hindley writes: "When I grew older and used to babysit for neighbours, I often taught babies to walk with the aid of a kitchen chair turned upside down.

Macbeth is a Shakespearean tragedy following the story of Macbeth, a noble Scottish warrior who turns into a murderous usurper due to the manipulation of three witches, and heroic antagonists Malcolm and Macduff lead a resistance against him.

The Power of Greed and Malevolence in Macbeth William Shakespeare's Macbeth is not necessarily a play of fate, but rather a tragedy that occurred as a result of uncontrollable greed and malevolence by Macbeth and his wife.

The weird sisters only make suggestions about Macbeth's road to kingship; they do not cast spells to make true all their predictions. While in kingship Macbeth elects to kill Banquo and his son, Fleance, for Macbeth was fearful about losing his throne to Fleance.

By the time the war was over, Italy, once one of the most prosperous lands in the ancient world, was wrecked. The city of Rome changed hands multiple times, and most of the cities of Italy were abandoned or fell into a long period of decline. The impoverishment of Italy and the weakened Byzantine military made it impossible for the empire to hold the peninsula. Soon a new Germanic tribe, the Lombards, came in and conquered most of Italy, though Rome, Naples, and Ravenna remained isolated pockets of Byzantine control.

At the same time, another new barbarian enemy, the Slavs, appeared from north of the Danube. They devastated Greece and the Balkans, and in the absence of strong Byzantine military might, they settled in small communities in these lands. Skip to main content. Search for:.

Following thorough schooling, which left him with a particular taste for theology, Justinian was further aided by his uncle to rapid advancement in the army. When the childless Anastasius I died in , Justin was unexpectedly made emperor, at age 66, as Justin I.

Outmaneuvering rivals, Justinian rose to ever higher positions, becoming Caesar in and finally being made coemperor and successor in early It was also at this time that Justinian arranged to marry Theodora, thereby acquiring an important helpmate and also giving his age one of its most striking personalities.

When Justin I died on Aug. During the first 4 years the mounting burden of governmental expenses made the regime oppressive and unpopular, while Justinian's autocracy provoked the old senatorial aristocracy. The so-called Nika Riots of Jan.

The Emperor rallied his troops under some loyal generals, like Belisarius, and had them massacre the rioters. The mob broken, Justinian punished the conspirators, thus crushing both popular and aristocratic opposition for the time being. The bulk of Justinian's era was marked by war, partly sought, partly unsought. The unwanted war, which he had inherited, was with Sassanid Persia, the empire's one fully civilized neighbor.

The accession of a new Persian king, Chosroes Khosrow I, in made peace possible, and while the "Perpetual Peace" negotiated in cost Justinian a veiled obligation to pay tribute, it freed him for his projects of territorial reconquest in the West. Jealous of Justinian's subsequent successes, however, Chosroes broke the peace in by invading Syria-Palestine and devastating Antioch. Still committed in the West, Justinian was plunged into new war with Persia for almost all of his remaining reign.

Only in was the Fifty-year Peace agreed upon, requiring even heavier tribute payments to Persia. By contrast, Justinian's wars in the West were part of his grand design.

Justinian never considered himself merely an Eastern emperor, and his empire had never officially accepted the loss of its territory, which always remained legally Roman and subject to eventual recovery. Thus, the Germanic successor states in the West were regarded as temporary interlopers, and their rulers as Arian Christians, therefore heretics.

As Roman emperor, Justinian was obligated to liberate these lands and restore them to imperial rule. Because the Franks were so distant and were not Arian heretics, Justinian made no hostile plans against them.

Even the failings and sinful acts of fallen men and women cannot thwart the purposes of the Lord to redeem all of Creation.

In the end Judah and his brothers and their families were very blessed to live out their lives in relative peace and prosperity in the Land of Goshen in Egypt. It was only several generations later that that entire nation fell into slavery in Egypt. Because there are two primary reasons for that situation. First, the people of Israel abandoned their faith in God and became corrupted by the sinful idolatries of the Egyptians. Second, there arose a Pharaoh who knew not Joseph, There arose a generation of Egyptians who had no memory of the great work that Joseph had accomplished on behalf of Egypt.

Vivian wydrzynski. King L. Leo Matheny. Not so. Abraham was the First Jew. What gave him the standing to take on this role? He had broken faith with his family by marrying a Canaanite Gen. But the story Judah told Joseph showed a changed man.

Then, in an ultimate expression of compassion, Judah offered to substitute himself in place of Benjamin! Seeing the change in Judah, Joseph was able to bless them as God intended. It appears that Joseph finally saw that his brothers could be trusted. Why is he blessed while his brothers are cursed? We understand that, as with all the sons of Jacob, the blessing will not be experienced by Judah himself, but by the tribe that bears his name.

Judah will die like his brothers, but his tribe will go on to lead Israel in military victories as Scripture records in Numbers 2, 10, Judges 1, 2, and elsewhere. But again we are brought back to our first question: the tribes of Reuben, Simeon and Levi are cursed because of the actions of their Patriarch, so why is the tribe of Judah blessed when their Patriarch is just as sinful? When we look deeper into this blessing, we see whom is really the object of the blessing: the lion of the tribe of Judah — the Messiah.

Traditionally, both Jewish and Christian scholars understand these verses to be a prophecy of the coming Messiah.

You trust them. We know that in Solo there was a point where there were artistic differences with the chosen captains [Phil Lord and Christopher Miller] and a new captain was brought in.

Daniels cites another example of a time the captain of the ship might have steered into stormy waters. While Daniels almost became invisible, obscured by the character of C-3PO, Ahmed Best who played Jar Jar Binks in the prequel trilogy became vilified just because not all fans loved the character.

In that way, he is as real as the last time you saw him. Which can mean many things. At this festival, it meant a touch of quality control.

His expression was full of puzzlement and wonder, as if he was being reminded once again that he is part of something very dear to many people and he should not take a moment like this, even at a small film festival in Virginia, for granted. It is, after all, a complicated thing, to have your character recognized instantly, across the globe daily, for several generations, while being mostly unseen and unknown yourself.

In its first incarnation, it took more than two hours to put on. By the time The Force Awakens rolled around, technical advances meant it took just six seconds for him to don the costume. The former carpenter caused a lengthy delay while the set was repainted.

Daniels speaks highly of many of his fellow actors, especially Sir Alec Guinness — who offered him a share of his generous per diem when they arrived in Tunisia for Episode IV — and Mark Hamill, for whom he felt an instant affection. Even the character of R2-D2 seems to inspire no real affection, with Daniels recalling a time the motorised prop nearly nudged him down a flight of stairs.

Quite the malfunctioning little twerp. As well as the perennial danger of falling down, the suit risked permanent nerve damage, and nearly suffocated Daniels on a number of occasions. He had the card framed in gold and hung in his toilet.

He could further stabilize postwar Japan and legitimize Japanese officials working with the United States. They also warned that deposing the emperor might embitter the Japanese public and open the way later to a revanchist regime. Failure to extirpate the imperial system would lead to regrowth of a radical political culture bent on renewed conquest.

Memories of recent German history in this regard were all too pointed. To counter this propaganda and hopefully to mobilize leadership elements pushing for peace, the United States, Great Britain, and China issued the Potsdam Declaration. The only promise pertinent to the emperor was the pledge that after occupation and satisfactory demonstration that Japan was peaceful, the Japanese people would be free to choose their own form of government.

This clearly allowed the Japanese people to retain the imperial institution if they so choose. He would thus be empowered to block any occupation reform. This clearly was wholly unacceptable. It also illuminates how mistaken were later claims that Japan was only asking for retention of a figurehead emperor.

The US response to this ploy explicitly stated that the emperor would be subordinate to the occupation commander. The emperor had heard the plans for the attack and approved. Given the current conditions, I could say we have practically won already. A bookseller, a man named Takeo Hatano, owns the memo, and had kept it under wraps for nearly a decade.

Yakahisa Furukawa, a Japanese scholar from the University of Nihon, has verified the memo, however, and points out that there is little possibility Tojo could have proceeded with plans to attack the United States if Hirohito had not given at least tacit agreement.

The discovery of a Pearl Harbor veteran in the family tree leads to discovery of service and sacrifice. Kodo promoted subordination of the individual to the state and encouraged imperialist expansion. Hirohito presided over the invasion of China, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and eventually, the Japanese surrender to the Allies. Many historical sources have portrayed Hirohito as powerless, constrained by military advisers that were making all the decisions.

Some have even portrayed him as pacifist. Hirohito was not tried for war crimes, as many members of the Japanese government were. But a growing number of scholars, including Herbert P. Bix in his Pulitzer Prize-winning biography, have said that Hirohito wielded more power than he is given credit for. There are clear historical examples, however, where Hirohito decisively exercised his power. In , for example, he moved swiftly to put down a coup among Japanese military leaders.

This cleared the way for the elevation of the hawkish and dictatorial Hideki Tojo. Bix and others also fault Hirohito for some of the more egregious crimes committed by the Japanese military. He also knew about mistreatment of prisoners of war, and about killings of civilians in Nanking, but did nothing to stop the practices or punish military leaders which he could have done.

These cases fit a larger pattern of Hirohito being blamed for inaction. This inaction persisted even where action could have prevented war. The invasion of Manchuria started without orders from Tokyo, but Hirohito acquiesced after being assured that the military could succeed in expanding his empire. As a child, Hirohito was separated from his parents, as was custom, and given an imperial education at the Gakushuin School, also known as the Peers' School.

He later attended a special institute which conditioned him to become emperor and was formally given the title of crown prince on November 2, Years later, in , he became the first crown prince of Japan to travel abroad and study, voyaging to Europe. In November , shortly after his return to Japan, Hirohito was appointed acting ruler of Japan due to his father's failing health. On January 26, , he married Princess Nagako later Empress Nagako , a distant cousin of royal blood. The couple would eventually have seven children.

On December 25, , following the death of his father, Hirohito succeeded him as emperor, taking the th Chrysanthemum Throne.

Shortly after Hirohito's induction as emperor, Japan found itself in a state of unrest. While his reign saw an incredible amount of political turmoil, he remained a gentle man who allegedly had limited influence over the military and its politics. Soon, the military began to revolt, resulting in the assassination of many public officials, including Prime Minister Inukai Tsuyoshi. Hirohito was a reluctant supporter of the occupation of Manchuria, which led to the second Sino-Japanese War.

Adonai means simply Lord , and it is not considered blasphemous to speak this name. There is a principle in Jewish law that seeks to set out further limitations in order to reduce the chance of a serious law being broken. Since the prohibition against blasphemy is so serious, it is important that there exists a further level of protection to avoid using the Tetragrammaton. The name Hashem is therefore used as a substitution for Adonai in situations outside of prayer.

The use of this name, a more generic word, therefore further reduces the chance that one may inadvertently pronounce the forbidden name of God.

Knowing God is infinite should humble us and remind us of the endless limitations we have as humans.

The four-letter name of God YKVK that is written in our prayers is never pronounced phonetically because that name represents the infinite aspect of God which is beyond human comprehension. That name is really a combination of three Hebrew words: Haya, Hoveh and Yeheyeh — past, present, and future.

In other words, God exists in the past, present and future -- simultaneously. Being stuck in a finite world, this is something we cannot fully comprehend, but the concept of God being Infinite is something so powerful and humbling that just saying "Hashem" The Name helps us do two things: One, it evokes awe by reminding us of the infinity of God as reflected in the four-letter Name; and two, it distances us from this concept to remind us of our own limitations.

Reminding ourselves of our own limitations is a great thing. It brings us to rely on that which does not have limitations, namely God. Healthy dependence is a great way to build a relationship which, after all, is the essence of our job here on Earth -- to forge a relationship with the Creator. Imagine a city in the middle of a war. The dirt flying in the air. Missiles overhead. Everything in chaos. The smell of chemicals permeating the thick fog that has become the sky and civilians running through the streets in confusion, in panic -- a living nightmare.

A doctor runs across the blood stained streets looking for people he can help, wounds he can heal just enough to get people back on their feet so they can keep running, keep living.

A short distance away he sees the woman calling out. She is hurt and in need of immediate attention. To most people, the man in the story was an anonymous person running around the streets -- until someone saw him performing a medical act. This is the power of a name. It defines the relationship we have with the person and forces us to treat them in a particular way.

Likewise with Hashem: We love You and feel close to You. And at the same time recognize our distance and Who is really in charge. Hi, I've been wondering if the NT use of the term "ho logos" is related to the Jewish tradition of saying "ha shem? If the NT describes god in the beginning as "ho logos" could this have been in a sense a translation of the common term "ha shem? Given the resonance of NT's use of "ho logos" with the use of it by Neo-Platonists, I also wonder if that group of philosophers was influenced by Jewish people saying "ha shem" in Classical Antiquity, or if the opposite might be true - that our customary habit of saying "ha shem" may have been influenced by Hellenstic thinkers talking about "ho logos.

Synagogue, bima, even afikomen are all loanwords from Greek; so I'm wondering if ha shem is like a translation of ho logos. Wonderful article. I am Catholic and came across the name Hashem in a movie, which brought me here. Thank you, in resting and informative and contemplative. Hey Jon. Shemot This really helps to understand the Jewish way of making God in an intimate, respectful way. Which I think is how He has always wanted or friendship to be. Well explained, very helpful!

Be blessed Arno. Thank you for sharing this teaching on relationship between God and His people. Katharyn - Australia. The use of HaShem as it is being used today was never a practice within the writings of the Tanakh. If the Tanakh is qodesh and good for others to hear, and you hold a belief that would prevent you from doing so, then that belief must be evil.

The use of Hashem cannot be qodesh if any of the following are true. Hashem has no meaning and can only reference other words of meaning, therefore, it cannot be used as a name. All titles given to him in the Tanakh have meaning are qodesh. I am only stating that HaShem cannot be an acceptable name or title in any statement that does not first acknowledge who you are referring to, and cannot be used as a proper name as it currently is in the Jewish community.

One last thought. This article is wonderful and I love it! It is the handle that allows me to have a relationship with God that is intimate and warm. Shaul , June 29, PM. Please send more of this.

I don't like calling God God seems cold and abstract and distant. The name shem is a comforting word. I do like the name, Hashem; I like to use it for praying. But who then were the Hashemites? Because in English people don't refer themselves by name means nothing at all. Anonymous , June 5, AM. Using English usage to illustrate a phenomenon influence by linguistic usage seems to me a a perfectly appropriate way of introducing the topic to a largely anglophone audience.

Moreover, you allusion to languages that differ in this respect the place of proper names is not really valid. Pronouns are pretty intuitive, and where they're lacking, generally some common noun substitutes for them. In Japanese, where it is common to refer to oneself by ones proper name - I think you were thinking of Japanese but correct me if I'm wrong - one doesn't do so all the time, not does everyone follow the custom.

So the argument is actually even better in Japanese: the usage doesn't imply a more original identification of identity and name, but a more explicit and rigorously determined place in the social and symbolic worlds. Robert Young , February 22, PM. I find that those who are in a relationship with Ha-Shem -- understand completely what this article speaks of.

Holly , July 20, AM. I agree, Robert. Fantastic way of saying this I have been puzzled for the last few days while my friend has been saying "Ha-Shem loves you".

Granted, I've been raised primarily Christian, so this word I assumed was synonymous with "God". I am so glad this article cleared it up a little. Now to work on that relationship with Ha-Shem : Thanks again Robert, your comment was on peak.

Main reason is, as you perfectly said it: It is forbidden to pronounce the actual four-letter name of God Yud Heh Vav Hey. But the other reason the article is built on is not convincing! I believe the article was never intended to say "you're doing it wrong".

It seems opposite of the devotion and respect we are supposed to be giving. It is only a reader of Hebrew's dilemma because if you can not read Hebrew letters you can not begin to make an error. However, beyond the idea that this name is so Holy and Divine, we have no vowels for it.
