In fact, Leviathan must have really done these things for God to meaningfully compare it to His own might. Metaphors don’t deflect spears or scare the daylights out of onlookers. These historical hints from the Bible refute the idea that Leviathan was a mythical creature that was being used as a literary metaphor. ![]() Brian Thomas (science writer with ICR) points out: The Bible places Leviathan in a realistic context.īut wait a minute-Leviathan breathed fire? This single characteristic is enough for most people to move Leviathan from the “real” to “mythical” category-but not so fast. We know from Psalm 104 that Leviathan “played around in ancient shipping lanes.” Few doubt the reality of the horse, ostrich, eagle, goat, and other animals that God described for Job along with Leviathan. It left luminescent wakes and had a mouth that was ringed with terrorizing teeth. ![]() It had armor scaling that was so tightly-knit that no air could pass between (capable of deflecting spears). ![]() The passage describes where Leviathan lived (in the sea but sometimes on shore). The description in Job 41 rules out a mythical creature. It was a ferocious (Job 41:8–10), fiercely-toothed (Job 41:14), scale-armored (Job 41:15–17), immensely powerful (Job 41: 26–29), semi-aquatic (Job 41:30–33), fire-breathing (Job 41: 19–21) creature than invoked fear into anyone who saw it! Job chapter 41 provides the longest description of any animal in the Bible-but Leviathan was not just any creature. ![]() ![]() ![]() But despite the continuities with earlier ideas of a “geopolitical Europe,” in particular around the idea that Europe should be a “third force” in international politics (with China having replaced the Soviet Union as the second force), “pro-Europeans” who call for a more “geopolitical” EU have made no attempt to clarify how they understand “geopolitics” and how it differs from the earlier usage of the term. In fact, rather than settling Europeans in Africa, the EU is focused above all on stopping Africans coming to Europe-especially since the refugee crisis in 2015. Of course, the EU today does not seek Lebensraum. In short, the idea of a “geopolitical Europe” has a very problematic history. In particular, the “pro-Europeans” of that era saw Africa not only as a source of raw materials that would help make Europe competitive but also as a space into which Europe’s excess population could settle. The idea of Lebensraum was also central to these ideas of a geopolitical Europe. At that time, many saw European civilization as being threatened by the United States and the Soviet Union and urged it to unify to form a “third force” that could compete with them. ![]() In particular, they seem to be unaware of the history of the idea of Europe as a geopolitical bloc, which goes back to the 1920s. The concept, first used by Ratzel at the end of the 19th century, was later used to justify German expansion in Europe.Īdvocates of a more “geopolitical” EU, on the other hand, have none of Scholz’ skittishness and use the term rather naively and ahistorically. In particular, it was from the German tradition of geopolitical thinking that the idea of Lebensraum, or living space, emerged. The suspicion of geopolitics that Scholz was expressing has, of course, to do with an awareness of the particular German tradition of geopolitical thinking associated with political geographers Friedrich Ratzel and Karl Haushofer, which is in turn seen as being connected to Nazism. The concept of geopolitics emerged in the era of high imperialism at the end of the 19th century and originally focused on the role of physical geography in international politics-in particular in the competition between land powers and sea powers. The Problematic History of Geopolitical Europe It is easy to dismiss this as German Machtvergessensheit (“obliviousness to power”). He said that what scared him was how Russian President Vladimir Putin thought in such geopolitical terms ( “What frightened me is this incredible emphasis on geopolitics in the Russian president's thinking”) because to think in such terms was to reject the European “peace order.” In other words, while other figures like European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and High Representative for Foreign Affairs Josep Borrell were urging the EU to become more “geopolitical,” Scholz still saw “geopolitics” as something to be rejected rather than aspired to-even after the Russian invasion. In short, it’s an intellectual mess.Ī good illustration of this is German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s interview with TV current affairs host Anne Will a month after the war in Ukraine began. It also means that when participants use the term to make arguments that may be controversial and are then criticised for them, they can backtrack and say that they meant something different. This leads to a rather confused and often somewhat circular debate in which participants conflate different meanings of geopolitics or different participants mean geopolitics in different senses. ![]() It often seems as if those who use the term have not even thought about its history or its different meanings and their implications. Those who call for a more “geopolitical” Europe rarely spell out which of these five meanings-or perhaps even some other meaning of geopolitics-they have in mind. It is used in at least five different ways: Firstly, as a straightforward synonym for international politics secondly, in the strict, original sense focusing on the role of geography in international politics thirdly, to refer to the strategic use of military tools (as opposed to “geo-economics”) fourthly, as a synonym for “power politics” (as opposed to rules in international politics) and fifthly, to capture a shift away from economic liberalism or the pursuit of economic objectives. There is a consensus-which has further strengthened since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February-that, as the European Union finds itself increasingly threatened, it must become more “geopolitical.” But there is little clarity about what “geopolitics” means. ![]() ![]() ![]() They had stopped when her pretty postcards, with the roses and mandolins worked in silk on them, had stopped.

The symbol for the (old) penny, "d", was replaced by "p" (or initially sometimes "np", for new pence). The old shilling equated to five (new) pence, and, for example, £2 10s 6d became £2.52 + 1 / 2. Originally the term "new pence" was used the word "new" was dropped from the coinage in 1983. Since decimalisation on " Decimal Day", 15 February 1971, the pound has been divided into 100 pence. Originally known and valued as five pounds, but became five guineas when the guinea was standardised at one pound and one shilling in 1717.

The latter was thus extended to mean 1 / 24 penny or 1 / 6 farthing even if not minted in Tudor England. The Flemish groat approximately matched the English penny c 1420-1480 and was divided into 24 mites. These are denominations of British, or earlier English, coins – Scottish coins had different values. The value of a guinea fluctuated between 20 and 30 shillings before being fixed at 21 shillings in December 1717. The value of some coins fluctuated, particularly in the reigns of James I and Charles I. For example, 2 pounds 14 shillings and 5 pence could have been written as £2 14s 5d or £2/14/5. There were therefore 240 pence in a pound. Prior to decimalisation in 1971, there were 12 pence (written as 12d) in a shilling (written as 1s or 1/-) and 20 shillings in a pound, written as £1 (occasionally "L" was used instead of the pound sign, £). ![]() Main article: Coins of the pound sterling Pre-decimal ![]() ![]() ![]() Joker cards, for example, will find another pair for you.

As the name suggests this is the classic game pairs. The first game I want to talk about is Purble Pairs. While this is a “kids” game, the harder difficulties are rather challenging. Gameplay is available at different difficulty levels. Presentation wise, Purble Place is not going to blow you away (and this was the case when it was first released too) but it is pleasant enough. These are puzzle based games and I would say that there is a high chance that there is at least one game out of the three that you will like. The shtick of Purble Place (often misspelled as Purple Place) is that it is actually three games in one. It built up a bit of a cult following (kind of like Minesweeper and that weird skiing game did) and now it can be played on Windows 10. It originally started life as a free game that was part of the Windows Vista OS. Windows VistaĪm I really talking about Windows Vista right now? Well, that is the origins of Purble Place. However, I feel that there is actually enough fun here that anyone can have a go and enjoy themselves with Purble Place. Purble Place is a game that is aimed at teenagers and pre-teens. ![]() |
