He examined the various measures that had been taken during all that period. Rather was it the prelude to further misfortunes, for the emperor next proceeded to review the events of the reign since he acceded to the throne and the parakoimomenus began to govern the empire. ![]() Nor did this disgrace prove to be the end of Basil’s troubles. In fact, the emperor’s action was incredibly cruel, for he shipped him off into exile. What made it worse was the fact that this change in the latter’s fortunes was not softened by any sign of respect. Once the decision was taken, however, he dismissed the parakoimomenus and deposed him at one blow. He gave the subject much thought, and it was only after long vacillation that he finally made up his mind. Michael Psellus tells us how the Emperor Basil II decided to erase the work of his long-time advisor, the eunuch Basil Parakoimomenus. Apparently, this was not the first time this happened. We know that the current occupant of the White House has made a practice of erasing every one of his predecessor Barack Obama’s accomplishments. ![]() ![]() Today, I was reading Michael Psellus’ Fourteen Byzantine Rulers (aka The Chronographia), written at some point in the 11th Century A.D.

Goodlatte, referring to another well-known text message - “Just went a southern Virginia Walmart,” he wrote. “I don’t give a damn what you appreciate,” Gowdy fired back. He continued on to accuse Gowdy of misrepresenting his testimony, noting that he did not “appreciate it.” Strzok said it was not his bias, but the “appearance” of bias that got him booted from the collusion investigation and reassigned to the FBI’s office of human resources. So it wasn't the discovery of texts that got him fired, it was the bias manifest in those texts that made him unfit to objectively and dispassionately investigate." All the way back to late 2015 and early 2016. While I was researching material for the editorial, I ran across a remarkable quote from George Washington that seemed chillingly prophetic, which began, Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most. The text and emails may have been discovered in May of 2017 but the bias existed and was manifested a year and a half before that.

The authors counter these stereotypes with engaging analyses of real rabbit behavior, drawn both from the authors' own experience and from academic studies, and place those behaviors in the context of current debates about animal consciousness. ![]() In so doing, the book explores how one species can be simultaneously adored as a symbol of childhood (think Peter Rabbit), revered as a symbol of female sexuality (e.g., Playboy Bunnies), dismissed as a “dumb bunny” in domesticity and loathed as a pest in the wild. ![]() Stories Rabbits Tell takes a comprehensive look at the rabbit as a wild animal, ancient symbol, pop culture icon, commercial “product” and domesticated pet. Indeed, the rabbit is the only animal that our culture adores as a pet, idolizes as a storybook hero and slaughters for commercial purposes. ![]() Ironically, it has also been one of the most misunderstood and abused. Revered as a symbol of fertility, sexuality, purity and childhood, beloved as a children’s pet and widely represented in the myths, art and collectibles of almost every culture, the rabbit is one of the most popular animals known to humans. ![]() ![]() ![]() As Julie and James try to establish a sense of normalcy, the home and its surrounding terrain become the locus of increasingly strange happenings.
