If you want to gauge how bad xenophobia and nationalism are,watch antisemitism. We’ve always been the canaries in this particular coal mine.
In England, particularly, antisemitic attacks increased by 60% last year. And that’s in London. People who bet that Labour would stop this…look at the crisis they’ve been having, and Corbyn’s been making worse rather than helping.
This sucks, especially for the people in Scotland and Northern Ireland, who don’t want to go, and the people of London who also voted to remain (as well as a couple of other cities)…but, to me at least, it’s not the big surprise that it is to everyone else. For the same reasons that I worry about Trump or LePen, and many other right wing, xenophobic, demagogues. If you want to know how strong they are, look at how bad things are for Jews, and particularly if they’re getting worse or better.
Staphylococcus aureus – or staph – infections are pretty common, particularly in hospital settings, and under normal circumstances they’re not particularly hard to treat. But MRSA is a strain that’s developed resistance to most of the antibiotics we have available, which means it can quickly spread from a superficial infection, such as a skin infection, to an invasive one, which can be life-threatening.
He was a young artist employed by the Disney studio, but tasked with the entry-level job of finishing off the work of the animators and crafting the “in-between” animations that completed the characters’ movements. Wong had learned that studio executives were creating a film from the new novel, Bambi, A Life in the Woods by Felix Salten. Tom says the young artist read the book and without consulting his supervisor, “took the script and painted some visual concepts to set the mood, color and the design.”
His sketches recalled the lush mountain and forest scenes of Sung dynasty landscape paintings. His initiative paid off. Walt Disney, who was looking for something new for the film, was captivated and personally directed that Wong be promoted. Today, top animators and illustrators revere Wong’s work. Children today are as enchanted by the misty, lyrical brushstrokes of Wong’s colorful nature scenes, inspired by his training at Otis College of Art and self-study of Sung Dynasty art
