These words are from Tang Xianzu's preface, dated 1598, to his own play. Close in time but halfway across the globe, William Shakespeare had completed Romeo and Juliet, his tragedy of starcrossed lovers consumed by the fire of their passion in an inimical world. But for Tang Xianzu love, passion, qing was a force he must celebrate. It was part of the new, humane currents of thought, in those late years of the Ming dynasty, to extol the spontaneous affections of the heart, to demonstrate their triumph over the conventions of the coldly rational. Love is of source unknown, yet it grows ever deeper. The living may die of it, by its power the dead live again. Love is not love at its fullest if one who lives is unwilling to die for it, or if it cannot restore to life one who has so died. And must the love that comes in dream necessarily be unreal? For there is no lack of dream lovers in this world. Only for those whose love must be fulfilled on the pillow and for whom affection deepens only after retirement from office, is it entirely a corporeal matter . . . . Introduction Has the world ever seen a woman's love to rival that of Bridal Du? Dreaming of a lover she fell sick; once sick she became ever worse; and finally, after painting her own portrait as a legacy to the world, she died. Dead for three years, still she was able to live again when in the dark underworld her quest for the object of her dream was fulfilled. To be as Bridal Du is truly to have known love.

Of course, to stay safe all time, you should consider the best VPN for Android. It allows users to funnel micro-payments to their “favorite creators,” offering a different way to fund online businesses than intrusive advertising.Īpart from that, it’s a simple, secure browser with zero plug-ins, no unsolicited ads, and speeds that are 2-4 times those experienced with Chrome. We haven’t mentioned this feature yet, but it’s one of the most innovative elements of the Brave browser package. However, they lack the option to engage Brave Rewards. The iOS version is pretty much the same, and both are worth checking out. The smartphone versions of Brave are a little different from their desktop cousins. And don’t forget to get full protection with the best VPN for Mac. If you’re searching for a Safari alternative with stronger ad-blocking and anti-tracking features, it’s worth a look. However, most users report that Brave still doesn’t quite match Safari in the speed stakes.Īs a Chromium browser, Brave will inevitably suffer in comparison to Mac’s native browser, and some users will find the differences too much to bear. The Mac version is a solid alternative to Safari (read our review), offering a clean interface and fast speeds. There are some differences between them, so it’s worth having a look at each in turn. The browser has been made available across a range of platforms, including Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. A few more elaborate features may be lacking, but you’ll notice that this has a speed benefit. The browser is based on Chromium infrastructure, which means that there will be few surprises. How to use Braveīrave’s interface should be fairly familiar to Chrome and Firefox users. but it’s worth bearing in mind that users can expect greater functionality in the future. For example, users can now search the web privately with the Brave search engine. Everything is working properly, and features are being added with every new update. The browser itself was launched in 2016, and it’s still a work in progress to some extent. The idea is to create a community of users who keep the browser as clean and honest as possible. Moreover, the team behind the Brave browser goes out of its way to establish its transparent nature, operating a policy of inviting bug fixes and suggestions from open source coders. It’s also ad-free if users prefer, just as you’d hope from a secure browser. Brave is a web browser that aims to treat each user as an individual instead of a “product.” Created by Brendan Eich, one of the originators of the popular Mozilla browser, it seeks to go well beyond Firefox in terms of security and privacy while retaining its speed and ease of use.įounded on open source software, Brave is completely free to use (and commits to remain so for the foreseeable future). As the situation became critical, no one could tell what was going on inside the pile. The operators managed to maintain control for the rest of the day and night, but on 9 October the temperature began to rise again. The temperature in the pile was not behaving as predicted and it was a challenge to keep things stable. It must have seemed as if the flu had not only infected Robertson but the reactor as well. After spending a few hours at home, Robertson was back at the pile for 9am the following day. But no attempts were made to quarantine, and people had continued to show up for work. Many of Robertson’s colleagues and their families had fallen ill. The whole village was feeling the impact of a global flu pandemic – a virus that combined strains of avian and human influenza that had emerged from Guizhou, China, the previous year. Everything seemed to go according to plan, and after a long day Robertson went home to get some sleep. It began at 11.45am on 7 October, under the supervision of physicist Ian Robertson. Managers had scheduled the annealing of Pile No 1 for early October 1957, but it was long overdue. The Windscale Technical Evaluation Committee decided it would be safe to do it less often. But annealing required stopping the reactor. Macmillan wanted Windscale to produce more plutonium and tritium for a hydrogen bomb as quickly as possible. Sellafield nuclear plant in Cumbria, north-west England. Periodically, a special operation called “annealing” has to be undertaken in order to release the excess energy. If it’s not released in time, the energy can build up to such an extent that it ignites the graphite. ![]() “Wigner energy” is the energy that accumulates in the graphite blocks that make up the main body of the reactor while the fission reaction is taking place. One atomic energy official would later refer to the piles as “monuments to our initial ignorance”, and it was ignorance about one particular nuclear phenomenon that almost led to disaster. They were Britain’s first nuclear reactors, on a campus that for decades afterwards would be used to produce energy for the grid, but their primary purpose was to produce the material for a British bomb. At the centre of this rarified new world were two buildings: Windscale piles No 1 and No 2. It had turned the small village of Seascale, on the Cumbrian coast, into one of Britain’s most highly educated places, brimming with nuclear scientists and engineers. Britain’s first atomic establishment had been hurriedly put together after the second world war. |
