Po diskuzích s některými lidmi z mého okolí se obracím i na čumblr. Od té doby co jsem začal studovat informatiku (dobře není to moc dlouho, ale možná o to horší to je) si uvědomuji, jak špatná je počítačová gramotnost běžné populace a tím myslím i své vrstevníky, akademicky angažované lidi a podobně ne pouze starší generace. Také vidím jak i přesto že jsem chodil na gympl, který nás m�� obecně připravit na víceméně všechny vysokoškolské obory, byla výuka v tomto směru zcela nedostačující (nebo spíše vlastně neexistovala). Proto mě dost zajímá, jaký máte pohled na výuku informatiky a jestli byste uvítali udělat z ní plnohodnotný středoškolský či rovnou základkový předmět. Myslím tím například pořádně probrat hardware, naučit se základní funkcionality operačního systému, základní protokoly, třeba HTML a základy nějakého začátečnicky přívětivějšího programovacího jazyku jako Python a samozřejmě taky nějaké bezpečnostní zásady.

Sice mám udělaný poll and budu rád za jakoukoliv diskuzi v komentářích či tags.

yk právě jsme si uvědomil že jsem blbě nakopíroval ty odpovědi a je tam dvakrát zlepšit střední, prosím berte tu prostřední tak, že je to jen "zlepšit výuku na všech školách"

This week’s newsletter from AthensLive is out: With 400 million in debt, you can rule Greece, with 15,000 you are homeless

*     ‘You won’t take a thing’

*       Freedom of the Press? Kind of exotic fruit?  

*       NGOs not wanted here

- are the main headlines to be found inside this highly informative weekly must-read from and about Greece. The eviction of a low-pensioner journalist from her house over a law of credit card debt caused a wave of outrage throughout the country. Thanks to people that acted in solidarity, the woman is still in her house. But this will not be for long. Nor would she be the only person left homeless because of being indebted due to the economic crisis. Do you remember that Greece ranked 108th on the RSF Press Freedom list? Well, the ND government does its best for the country to slip even lower. An award-winning photojournalist was arrested while doing his job and kept incommunicado in the police department. Plus, it was revealed that the State News Agency APE head works as a ghostwriter in a government-affiliated newspaper. Finally, the Greek government is pushing ahead with criminalizing solidarity with refugees. Panagiotis Dimitras of Greek Helsinki Monitor and Epaminondas Farmakis of Human Rights 360 appear to be the latest targets in a sui generis conflict.

It cannot be recommended strongly enough to read and share this week’s updates on the events and developments in Greece here:

I just noticed something odd.

In the background, in Maggie's shop, two names appear in multiple places: Michelle Kolove and Rat Keith.

(And for a special mention, Nobody Owens, the main character of The Graveyard Book, by Neil Gaiman.)

Does this mean something? Is this just prop department silliness? Who knows! What do you think?

I also find the front and center placement of Stairway to Heaven to be s u s p i c i o u s

Hey do you have any book recs for Byzantine history in general or for people just starting to learn about it?

Hello – so sorry this took so long! I'm finishing up a research project and haven't had a chance to log into Tumblr. While I have always, and will always, love the Byzantines, my job dictates that my focus is on the Tudors, all the time, so I apologize if some of these aren't completely up to date. Nevertheless, I'm happy to provide clarification on any of my suggestions and would be open to answering any questions you might have.

Bear in mind that the history of the "Byzantine Empire" spans a thousand years, and encompasses varying periods that differ significantly. It would probably be beneficial to nail down which period you're interested in studying/learning more about and going from there (though for a comprehensive overview I recommend the Cambridge History or Byzantium by Cyril Mango, both of which I've cited below).

Also, I was really delighted by this question – thank you!

Books

Cambridge History of the Byzantine Empire (2009)

Byzantium: The Empire of New Rome by Cyril Mango

The Fall of Constantinople 1453 by Steven Runciman (though 1453 by Roger Crowley is also a great start)

Byzantium: The Early Centuries by John Julius Norwich (a good introduction, as is A Short History of Byzantium)

Women in Purple: Rulers of Medieval Byzantium by Judith Herrin

Byzantium: The Surprising Life of a Medieval Empire by Judith Herrin

The Last Centuries of Byzantium by Donald Nicol (the edition I read is dated, some 30 years old; I don't know how recent publications have fared – more academic than the others)

Lost to the West by Lars Brownworth

Byzantium: The Bridge from Antiquity to the Middle Ages by Michael Angold

Streams of Gold, Rivers of Blood: The Rise and Fall of Byzantium, 955 A.D. to the First Crusade by Anthony Kaldellis

Biographies

Anna Komnene and the Alexiad: The Byzantine Princess and the First Crusade by Ioulia Kolovou

Podcasts

The History of Rome Mike Duncan

History of Byzantium

Primary Sources

Anna Komnene's Alexiad

Further research

Historia Civilis, last I checked, has a fairly decent catalogue on Rome and Byzantium on Youtube.

If I think of any more to suggest I'll tack them on in a reblog.

[The Frisland flag. Symbol of our land in cloth. What is its history? What does it mean?

The name that we call it is 'the Blueband'. It shows a field of gold and over it a blue line from top-left to bottom-right. This blue line is a 'blue-band', a symbol of Frislandic leaders. It began as a shepherd's cloak, similar to those still worn today (it is not known why blue is the colour of choice).

If a shepherd is a leader to his flock, so an elected leader is like a shepherd for the people. Because of this, burghers began wearing a band of blue cloth as part of their office. The picture depicts Mark Jameson One-eyed, a mercenary leader from Godmec.

Over the years, the band became smaller, till now it is a strip of cloth. Here is a picture showing the first female president of Frisland, Mary Matthewson Wise.

On the flag, then, the blueband signifies our elections and our freedom from tyranny, and safeguards the riches of our country (the golden field).]

Song inspirations

// So recently I’ve been listening to Kawir’s “Medea” from the album “Adrasteia”, which is a concept album about the greek personification of female revenge (Adrasteia being one of the facets of Nemesis.)

The track in question tells Euripide’s version of Medea’s tale. An english translation from the original modern greek by Dr. Ioulia Kolovou is below.

Link to the song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNwd6aLHutY

So thanks to this song, a plotbunny has been hopping inside my head lately. I have been wondering how I could adapt this song to Akhenaten’s backstory. Now, it would be quite metaphorical thanks to her being a 40k OC. Dunno yet if this lore is temporary, but here it is. I am open to suggestions on how to improve it.

Analysis is under the cut for lenght and triggering content; ie. child murder and suicide-by-proxy.

“Medea”

Medea, the daughter of Aietes, who cut up Apsyrtos And scattered his parts in the Black Sea Medea the witch, Medea, fratricide, poisoner. Medea abominable, Medea sorceress, Medea the enchantress, Medea of the black soul. The daughter of Hecate, in a dank cave In a distant land was joined in matrimony to the conceited Jason In Corinth she was crowned queen with a crown of blood. She gave Glauce gifts of death; she wiped out Mermeros and Pheres She who gifted them life, grants death as her final gift She cuts out their lives with a blood-dripping hand, tainting the fruit of her womb. Justice does not dwell in the eyes of mortals without you knowing what they are hiding in their hearts. You hate them at first sight even if they haven’t done you any wrong. Monstrous Medea, Medea the witch, Medea the enchantress, Medea of the black soul, Medea Murderess.

----

Medea, the daughter of Aietes, who cut up Apsyrtos And scattered his parts in the Black Sea Medea the witch, Medea, fratricide, poisoner. Medea abominable, Medea sorceress, Medea the enchantress, Medea of the black soul.

Akhenaten was the daughter of a king of Gaznir. After being cast out by her family for being a psyker, she was rescued by the XVth legion when they brought the world under compliance. The then-child had no qualms with throwing her loyalty to her old family and throwing her lot with the Thousand Sons, who would become her new family. Years down the line, Gaznir rises in rebellion agaisnt the Imperium, with her old birth-siblings being among the leaders. The Imperium, who doesn’t know about Akhenaten’s blood ties to them, sends the Thousand Sons to put down the rebellion. And once Akhenaten arrives to the planet she realizes her relatives are behind it. Yet she has no qualms about following Magnus’ orders to destroy the city in which they were, thus leading to their deaths.

The thousand sons were well known for their use of psychic powers/magic, which earned them the distrust of many.

In the song, the poisoner line refers to how Medea poisoned Glauce, who was the woman with whom Jason cheated on her. Considering how Magnus and the Thousand Sons threw their lot with Lorgar/ the Word Bearers and Horus / the Sons of Horus despite them being the ones responsible for the destruction of Prospero and the enslavement of its civilian population for turning them into rogue psykers during the Horus Heresy, they would symbolize Glauce.

If memory doesn’t fail me, they joined the traitor’s side out of desperation for they wished to find all of Magnus’ soul fragments. My knowledge of 30k lore is patchy, so I don’t know how far they were in the search before they said “fuck it we all”. As a result, I am unsure if Akhenaten ever knew of the reasons for the deal. But even if she knew, she would still find it unforgivable due to how the Legion protected and nurtured Prospero’s population. Considering chances are the Word Bearers and the Sons of Horus mistreated their rogue psykers, Akhenaten would interpret the legion’s actions as an approval of it.

I do know Akhenaten dropped the legion faster than a hot potato after she witnessed Ahriman sacrificing Hathor to summon a Lord of Change, so if she witnessed the rogue psyker’s abuse chances are it was after she left.

The reason why she abandoned the legion was because Hathor and Ahzek were her adoptive parents. And if Ahriman was capable of doing that to Hathor, then what would he do to her?

But perhaps a better reason would be their actions during the Siege of Terra. Conjuring daemons and using black magic to terrorize the planet. After all, Akhenaten fought for the Imperium, thus making her be in the receiving end of that.

Or maybe she turned agaisnt them because of all of the above.

EDIT: Damn, can’t believe I forgot about the First and Second Rubrics of Ahriman. And how thanks to the Second one, survivors from the First became randomly rubricc’ed. Yet another reason for her hate and anger towards the XVth.

To make matters worse, after learning of the first rubric she fell into a deep depression which led to her not getting out of bed for three months. And then she pulled a suicide by proxy via fighting an old thousand sons love who got chaos-spawned thanks to flesh change from a magical mishap. She survived the fight, but faced dire consecuences because of throwing magical precautions to the wind.

Her feelings towards Horemheb were mixed. On one side he was her first love, but after falling to Tzeentch he tried to swindle her.

-----

And as a revenge for the capture and enslavement of the prosperine, the corruption of half of the legions, the burning of Prospero, the Betrayal at Calth, various atrocities and the death of Sanguinius, Akhenaten under false pretenses gives poisoned gifts to members of the XVIth and XVIIth legions, resulting in their deaths.

The daughter of Hecate, in a dank cave In a distant land was joined in matrimony to the conceited Jason In Corinth she was crowned queen with a crown of blood. She gave Glauce gifts of death; she wiped out Mermeros and Pheres She who gifted them life, grants death as her final gift She cuts out their lives with a blood-dripping hand, tainting the fruit of her womb.

The first and second lines would refer to how she became Magnus’ gene-child once she got implanted with the XVth’s geneseed. Magnus’ main trait was his arrogance, which was one of the factors which led to the legion’s fall.

The “crowned queen with a crown of blood” line would be about how many years after the Great Scouring she killed a Son of Horus and took over his warband (but that’s a long story.)

We already know who Glauce is, but who would be Mermeros and Pheres? Thousand Sons who were created using Akhenaten’s geneseed.

(Considering Akhenaten belonged to the Order of the Jackal, and they were the ones in charge of selecting, transforming and raising the aspirants and neophytes into astartes, chances are Mermeros and Pheres were astartes in whose creation she was involved. Because they were made using her geneseed and she raised them, she considered herself their mother.

And they were lost in the warp during the Horus Heresy, being spat out many years later.)

Justice does not dwell in the eyes of mortals without you knowing what they are hiding in their hearts. You hate them at first sight even if they haven’t done you any wrong.

Akhenaten was beautiful, yet hid a lot of hate and anger in her heart. And she took it out on innocent people.

Monstrous Medea, Medea the witch, Medea the enchantress, Medea of the black soul, Medea Murderess.

Thanks to the crimes she commited, the people would call her Queen Abomination.
