On 28th Sep 1938, Lewis Nixon and his mother went to French Riviera to see his grandmother. Nazi Germany annexed Sudetenland on the next day.
The atmosphere was very tense at that time : “Hitler responded petulantly by moving up his deadline to September 28. In conference on the 23rd at 10 Downing Street, Chamberlain futilely urged acquiescence to the new Nazi demands. … “All over London,” Kennedy recalled, “people were being fitted for gas-masks.”
Lew’s next visit to Paris will be in six years later, and without a passport or visa.
#They got grandma back to US at the end of 1938#The Nixons had great foresight#after chamberlain got that piece of paper stating “peace of our time most people started unpacking#they thought everything would be fine#there won’t be any war#but they got grandma back to the US anyway#Lewis Nixon#band of brothers#doris nixon

The Underoath show was amazing!
It was the first time I'd seen the band since Give It A Name Festival in 2005.
The venue was heaving, I really didn't expect it to be that packed. The heat was beyond insane, with the band themselves commenting that it was the hottest gig they'd ever played...and they're from Florida!
I managed to catch up with some old friends, score a copy of the album They're Only Chasing Safety's vinyl for just £20, meet the guitarist Tim and get a used guitar pic!
It's been 20 years since they released this album and they still have so much passion and energy when performing live.
Such a fantastic show!

The Web (1947)
"Isn't there some way we can get together on this?"
"Oh, sure. You confess and I'll arrest you."
#the web#1947#film noir#american cinema#michael gordon#william bowers#bertram millhauser#harry kurnitz#ella raines#edmond o'brien#vincent price#william bendix#maria palmer#john abbott#fritz leiber#howland chamberlain#tito vuolo#wilton graff#robin raymond#hans j. salter#visually this isn't the most impressive example of the genre�� but in scripting and dialogue this is a beautifully constructed top tier noir#it feels like every line is a sharp retort‚ a witty aside or a loaded innuendo; Eddie O'Brien‚ grinning like a cheshire cat and doing his#best to channel Bogart‚ alternates between rattling off insults and flattery‚ routinely humbled by the wonderful Ella Raines and of course#a young Vincent Price‚ exuding pure smarm as a cool and callous killer who isn't once rattled by O'Brien's strongarm tactics#the plot isn't especially original and offers few surprises but it's honestly so beautifully drawn‚ executed with such precision and such#superb charm that it's kind of impossible not to have a great time. even side characters are fully developed and given their own#full personality and life beyond the central focus (particularly rewarding is Bendix as a deadpan asshole cop whose dogged refusal to trust#anyone at all threatens to see O'Brien swing for a crime he didn't (quite) commit). top notch cast and an excellent script#all ending in a suitably shadowy denouement; there are better noir films‚ sure‚ but this still feels sort of indispensable to the canon

The Difference Between the UK, Great Britain and England
— July 28, 2023 | Liz Olson and Logan Chamberlain
A lot of people get confused by different terms for the political or geographic body that includes England; some people will use Great Britain and the U.K. interchangeably. There are, however, some key differences between Britain, Great Britain, the United Kingdom, and England.
Great Britain 🇬🇧
Roman Britannia, or "Britain 🇬🇧"
The name "Britain" comes from an old Roman name "Britannia," used for the regions we'd now identify as England and Wales. Britannia was the territory under Roman rule, which ended at Hadrian's Wall (which divided Scotland, or "Caledonia," from Britannia).
This should not be confused with Brittany in France. They are connected, though. Brittany was, at one time, called "Lesser Britain" (as opposed to "Great Britain") since it was settled by Britons from across the Channel.
England 🏴
England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. England is the largest and most populous nation in the UK. It is bounded by Wales and the Irish Sea to the west and Scotland to the north. The English Channel, the Strait of Dover, and the North Sea separate it from Europe to the east. The channel islands like the Isle of Wight, off the southern mainland in the English Channel are considered part of England. The Isles of Scilly, in the Atlantic Ocean off the southwestern tip of the mainland, are also considered part of England.
Great Britain 🇬🇧
The island of Great Britain, also called "Albion" by the Romans, consists of three somewhat autonomous regions that include England, Scotland and Wales. It is located east of Ireland and northwest of France in the Atlantic Ocean. The term also includes several offshore islands, including the Hebrides in Scotland.
The United Kingdom 🇬🇧
The United Kingdom (commonly abbreviated UK) is a country that includes England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Its official name is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. While England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are called countries, there exist regulations and policies in those states that are determined by the UK. The capital city of the United Kingdom is London, although the different countries maintain parliaments in Cardiff (Wales), Edinburgh (Scotland), and Belfast (Northern Ireland).
The U.K. formerly encompassed the entire island of Ireland, and the islands were collectively referred to as the British Isles. But, in the early 20th century much of Ireland won autonomy as the Irish Free State, and later won independence as the Republic of Ireland.
The United Kingdom comprises, quite literally, the united kingdoms of Scotland and England. They shared monarchs for generations, but were distinct entities. That changed when the Scottish king James Stuart (James I of England and James VI of Scotland) inherited the throne of England from Elizabeth I. James was the grandson of Margaret Tudor, sister of Henry VIII. As Elizabeth I was childless, this made him her successor.
A century later, his descendant, Queen Anne of England, Scotland, and Ireland, would pass the Acts of Union. In England and Scotland both, the parliament passed an act of union formalizing a melding of the two states. The result was the United Kingdom of Great Britain. This would later include Ireland after then Acts of Union of 1800.
Welsh people were long considered part of the Kingdom of England. They would not establish their own parliament until the late 1990s.
The term U.K. also includes several dependencies and territories, nations that are political distinct but rely on the U.K. for essential services. These include Gibraltar, the Isle of Man, and other smaller islands.
The Commonwealth of Nations
The Commonwealth of Nations is a voluntary association of 52 states or countries that were formerly part of the British Empire. This does not include the United States.
16 members of the Commonwealth of Nations recognize the United Kingdom's Monarch as their own king or queen, but remain politically independent. These are identified as Commonwealth realms.
33 other Commonwealth countries are republics, which means they don't recognize a monarch. However, they still participate in the partnership.
The Commonwealth has no constitution. The Singapore Declaration of Commonwealth Principles, however, states that the Commonwealth is "a voluntary association of independent sovereign states each responsible for its own policies, consulting and co-operating in the common interests of their peoples and in the promotion of international understanding and world peace."
