Usage examples of sterne.

When your favourite poets are Wordsworth, Arnold, and Clare, your novelists Fielding and Sterne , your artists Cotman and Bonington and Girtin, what place had you in this other world of eccentricity and revolt?

Sterne was a reaction against the seriousness, the ponderosity, of previous prose literature in England.

Sterne was not living in a Paradisaical age, and he intentionally overstept the boundaries of decorum.

Sterne , and took comfort that the dinner seemed to disagree entirely with the periwigged fellow.

Er lag wach und sah zu, wie der Mond und die Sterne erstarben und die kalte Erde fahl wurde und vor dem freudlosen Wintermorgen erzitterte, und auf seinem Gesicht stand der Schmerz der einen, noch unverheilten Wunde.

Sterne , A Sentimental Journey AS GREATLY AS SHE WISHED it were not so, Abigail Adams was terrified of the sea.

Or how to describe adequately the delight of immersing oneself, as I have tried to do, in the writing of the eighteenth century--to read again after long years, or for the first time, the writers John Adams read and loved--Swift, Pope, Defoe, Addison, Fielding, Richardson, Sterne , Smollett, Johnson, and Voltaire?

Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis, a work that self-consciously recollects the novels of Sterne but also anticipates twentieth-century novels.

Lucianic tradition includes, among others, Erasmus, More, Rabelais, Swift, Sterne , Diderot, Peacock, Jean Paul Richter, Machado de Assis, and such postmodern figures as Borges, Rushdie, and Kundera.

Sterne house on Hermosa, cut over to Austin Highway, and saw the lonely band of picketers keeping vigil outside Sterne Foods.

When many clergymen were lecherous drunks, like Churchill and Laurence Sterne , and in addition ministers, were urging mobs to burn women for witchcraft, freethinkers were likely to regard religion with suspicion if not with actual hatred.

Whatever was happening, it was moving away from him this time, but it reassured him to know that Sterne would be quietly guarding Yanys.

An keinem Feuer kann ich erwannen, Keine Sonne lacht mir mehr, Ist alles leer, Ist alles kalt und ohne Erbarmen, Und auch die lieben klaren Sterne schauen mich trostlos an, Seit ich im Herzen erfahren, Dass Liebe sterben kann.

His sonne Riuallo his dead roome did supply,In whose sad time bloud did from heauen raine:Next great Gurgustus, then faire CæcilyIn constant peace their kingdomes did containe,After whom Lago, and Kinmarke did raine,And Gorbogud, till farre in yeares he grew:Then his ambitious sonnes vnto them twaineArraught the rule, and from their father drew,Stout Ferrex and sterne Porrex him in prison threw.

Yet therewith sore enrag'd, with sterne regardHer dreadfull weapon she to him addrest,Which on his helmet martelled so hard,That made him low incline his lofty crest,And bowd his battred visour to his brest:Wherewith he was so stund, that he n'ote ryde,But reeled to and fro from East to West:Which when his cruell enimy espyde,She lightly vnto him adioyned side to syde.

A Bloodier, More Mediocre The Crow

After years of gritty comic-book movies, a reboot of the gothic ’90s antihero lands with a thud.

The journey to bring The Crow back to life has been as tortured as its immortal antihero . The original 1994 adaptation of the comic-book series, about a man who returns from the dead to hunt down his and his lover’s killers, became a cult classic for its moody tone and grungy noir look. The film also bore the weight of an on-set tragedy: Its star, Brandon Lee, died after being shot by a malfunctioning prop gun. (He’d completed enough work for the movie to be finished in postproduction.) Sequels that followed different men taking on the Crow moniker flopped—and though a potential remake of the first film was announced more than 15 years ago, it seemed to linger in developmental limbo.

Which is where it should have stayed. Directed by Rupert Sanders, who’s made a career of mounting action-heavy , spectacle-driven reimaginings of preexisting material, the new version of The Crow deepens the romance, enhances the violence, and dives further into its protagonist’s supernatural origins. The result, however, is a generic and plodding revenge thriller that’s nowhere near bold enough to justify the franchise’s resurrection.

The 1994 version of The Crow kept things simple: A musician named Eric and his beloved fiancée, Shelly, are killed by a local crime boss after they protest his intentions to evict them from their apartment building. Eric comes back to life thanks to a mystical crow, because—well, he just does , and he begins a murderous rampage to avenge Shelly and himself. The new film concocts a much more elaborate tale, yielding a scattershot narrative that’s more confusing than coherent. Shelly (played by the singer FKA Twigs) has damning video evidence proving the evildoings of a wealthy man named Roeg (Danny Huston), who also happens to have demonic abilities. Eric (Bill Skarsgård), meanwhile, is a sullen, heavily tattooed outcast haunted by memories of his harrowing childhood. Hiding out at a rehab center, Shelly and Eric fall in love over their mutual angst and appreciation for art—he likes to draw and write poetry; she’s a pianist with an angelic voice.

Read: Can a ’90s cult classic save the comic-book movie?

Though Skarsgård and Twigs share an appealingly offbeat chemistry, the film struggles to balance their characters’ sweet romance with the hyper-violent, supernatural conspiracy that leads to Shelly’s death. When Eric fully embraces his powers and begins to slaughter those who wronged him, some of the kills are admirably gross, but many feel especially gratuitous, carried out at the expense of the tenderness and fragility of his courtship of Shelly. At some point, Eric learns he can’t save Shelly without sacrificing himself—but he seems not so much angry or pained as he is excited at the prospect of murdering dozens of nameless henchmen. (During a sequence in which he slices Roeg’s accomplices apart at an opera house, he gleefully tosses two of their severed heads into the terrified audience—an image that looks cool, but is awfully rude.) The ugliness of all this extends to the set pieces too: Eric, when traveling between life and death, heads to a purgatory-like place, but the location amounts to a derelict, CGI-embellished train station indistinct from the drab, rain-soaked, and unnamed city where Eric and Shelly reside.

The original Crow is by no means a perfect film—its dialogue is often corny, its sentimentality heavy-handed—and I don’t believe the comics are so sacred that they can never be adapted again. But Sanders’s vision is just dull. Roeg is a bland, muddily motivated villain. The production design is unremarkable, as is the soundtrack. The more Shelly is seen only through softly lit flashbacks, the more she becomes a collection of tropes rather than an actual character, undercutting the first act’s delicately portrayed love story. That the film is doomed to be compared with the ’90s original is perhaps out of its makers’ control, but they had plenty of opportunity to create something interesting. The source material, by the writer-artist James O’Barr, is a visceral work, with the story of Eric and Shelly underlining how easily grief can turn into an obsession that consequently turns into madness.

Here, O’Barr’s visual details are merely window dressing, like the eye makeup Eric applies with all the enthusiasm of a chaperone at a school dance. Sanders has said that his version of The Crow is not a “Hollywood remake,” and to an extent, he’s right. It’s not a remake of the 1994 film; it’s just another dark and gritty comic-book adaptation in a long line of dark and gritty comic-book adaptations. For The Crow to fly again, the film needed to offer something fresh for today’s audience—something propulsive, audacious, and haunting. All it does, though, is exhume what came before.

Travel guide and TV host Rick Steves says he has prostate cancer

• Copy Link URL Copied!

TV travel host Rick Steves, who has been guiding Americans through Europe for nearly half a century, has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and is set to have surgery this fall.

“My doctor assures me that, if you’re going to get cancer, this is a good kind to get, and careful scans show no sign of it having spread,” the guidebook author said Wednesday in an X post announcing his diagnosis. There is a clear path forward to getting healthy, and this fall, I’ll be in the hospital for a few days having prostate surgery.”

Rick Steves: Let your head, not headlines, guide where you go

Feb. 11, 2013

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in the United States and is the second leading cause of cancer death among men in the U.S., according to the National Cancer Institute. This type of cancer usually grows very slowly, and surgery is a common treatment for patients who are in good health and whose tumor is only in the prostate gland, the institute says.

The longtime “Rick Steves’ Europe” host noted that his doctors are fine with him filming two new shows in France over the next three weeks. He said he plans to return home to Edmonds, Wash., by mid-September ahead of his procedure at Seattle’s Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center.

Steves, 69, did not say what stage the cancer was nor the type of surgery he would undergo, but remained positive about his prognosis and was eager to return to work.

“I’ll likely get my surgery in late September, be laid up for a month, and — God willing — be cancer-free and back at it by the end of October,” he said. The avuncular PBS host assured followers that he trusts his doctor and staff at the cancer center and said he has “lots more to be thankful for … including the support of friends and loved ones and a strong faith that I’m in good hands.”

“While the statistics tell me I should be just fine, I’ve been fortunate to have never spent a night in a hospital — and I find myself going into this adventure almost like it’s some amazing, really important trip,” he added.

Travel Show: Rick Steves talks about what’s new in Europe

Feb. 24, 2013

“I feel good about my positive attitude — and I expect to take home some delightful, if intangible, souvenirs like: appreciating and seeing a vibrancy in the little things; appreciating the goodness in people and the treasure of friends and family; being wowed by modern medicine and the army of amazing, smart, and dedicated people that make it possible; appreciating what a blessing life, health, and this world to enjoy is; and — just in general — being more thankful.”

The bestselling author, who spends about four months a year abroad, said he’s looking forward to “many more years of happy travels, exciting collaborations, and beautiful friendships.” He also thanked his followers for their love and support and solicited “travel tips” as he sets off on his latest journey.

The radio host and travel columnist started his business, Rick Steves’ Europe, in 1976 and produces a bestselling guidebook series. His TV show ran on PBS from 2000 to 2020. The business also offers small group tours that take 30,000 travelers to Europe each year, according to his website .

Anna Menon of Polaris Dawn wrote a book for her children. She'll read it to them in orbit

'it’s a story of how love can overcome any distance,' menon told usa today of her children's book, 'kisses from space,' which she plans to read on the second day of the all-civilian mission..

• "Kisses from Space" tells the story of a mother dragon who returns home to her children after an out-of-this-world adventure.
• Menon plans to read the book while in orbit aboard the SpaceX Dragon. She and the Polaris Dawn crew will also sign and auction off the book to support St. Jude.

Back in the days when both Anna Menon and her husband worked at SpaceX , the couple would spend daily commutes regaling their two children with fanciful stories.

The kids would soon be dropped off at daycare, and mom and dad would then head to SpaceX headquarters, at the time still located in the Los Angeles area . But despite the time the family spent apart, those stories they shared every day before separating became a meaningful way for them to remain connected.

In recent years, Menon found herself reflecting on those nostalgic memories as she trained for a journey that will in the coming days take her further from her family than she's ever been before. As she prepared to head to outer space as part of the all-civilian Polaris Dawn crew , Menon found yet another way to stay tethered to her kids back on Earth.

Earlier this year, Menon co-authored a children's book, " Kisses from Space ," that stemmed from her desire to share her cosmic adventures with her two young children. Menon has shared the book with her son and daughter many times already, but when she launches next week on a SpaceX Dragon capsule, she plans to read the book to them from all the way in orbit.

“It’s a story of how love can overcome any distance," Menon said in a phone interview with USA TODAY after arriving this week  at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida to prepare for the launch. "And, it’s a story I wrote for my kids, ultimately.”

Polaris Dawn: SpaceX is about to launch a billionaire and 3 others into orbit on civilian mission

Anna Menon writes children's book based on Polaris Dawn experience

"Kisses from Space" tells the story of a mother dragon who returns home to her children after an out-of-this-world adventure. While the dragon characters are familiar to her children from those long-ago commutes, the story itself is a new one – inspired, of course, by Menon's own experience preparing for Polaris Dawn.

“Those stories became wonderful connection points for us as we were apart for most of our days,” Menon recalled of the tales she would make up with her husband Anil Menon, who is now a NASA astronaut (the family has since relocated to Houston.)

While training for Polaris Dawn, Menon shared her idea of authoring a children's book with Jared Isaacman, the billionaire entrepreneur funding the mission along with SpaceX. With Isaacman's support, Menon recruited her cousin Keri Vasek to co-author the story with her and award-winning illustrator Andy Harkness to create the visuals.

"Kisses from Space" was published June 4 by Random House Books for Young Readers. Written in whimsical rhyme, the story of a mother's unwavering love and devotion to her children is one Menon believes is relatable for any parents who have been away from their kids, even if it wasn't as distant as outer space.

“It was just an entirely special process to get to write this book with Keri," Menon said. "It's a message that I do want to come across to my kids, but it’s a message that lots of people around the world can relate to.”

Menon to read 'Kisses from Space' while in orbit

Menon arrived and entered quarantine with her family Monday at the Kennedy Space Center as she and the other crew members make the final preparations before launch.

But when the four-member crew under Isaacman's command rocket into the upper reaches of Earth's orbit early Monday, Menon's family will of course stay behind. To remind her children – James, 6, and Grace, 4 – that mom is still thinking of them, Menon plans to read "Kisses from Space" to them from the spacecraft on the second day of the mission.

Video of the book reading will be beamed live to her children, as well as some youngsters at  St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, before it is presented to the public at a later time, Menon said.

The copy of the book that Menon is reading in orbit will be signed by all four Polaris Dawn crew members and auctioned off to benefit St. Jude.

What to know about the Polaris Dawn mission

The first of three human spaceflights under the Polaris Program, Polaris Dawn is meant to test SpaceX technology to set the stage for  future deep space exploration as NASA and other space agencies set their  sights on destinations like Mars .

The Polaris Dawn crew will spend five days in orbit before reentering Earth's atmosphere on day six and splashing down at one of seven sites off the Florida coast.

When the crew launches, they will reach an altitude of 870 miles above Earth's surface – higher than any human has traveled since NASA’s Apollo lunar program in the 1970s – before descending to a new cruising orbit about 435 miles above Earth. The treacherous path will take the crew through the Van Allen radiation belts – or more than three times higher than  the International Space Station .

While in orbit, the crew will complete some 40 scientific experiments – many of which are to understand the human body's reaction to long spaceflights – and test a new laser-based satellite communication system using Starlink.

The crew will also attempt to become the first-ever private citizens to conduct a spacewalk, opening the Dragon's hatch to expose themselves to the vacuum of space.

Anna Menon's role on Polaris Dawn crew

The spacewalk maneuver is an incredibly risky one, but Menon , a mission specialist and medical officer for Polaris Dawn, didn't appear rattled at the prospect of it.

Until now, spacewalks have only ever been conducted by government astronauts. And because most spacecraft have airlocks, conducting one does not typically require depressurizing the entire capsule.

But because the Dragon does not have an airlock, the entire spacecraft will have to be depressurized before the hatch is opened, exposing all four crew members to the vacuum of space. For this reason Menon and her crewmates will all be wearing Extra-Vehicular Activity (EVA) suits designed by SpaceX to receive oxygen through tethers.

"There's been a tremendous amount of preparation that’s gone into this by the SpaceX team," she said.

For Menon, the upcoming trip to orbit is her first, despite working at SpaceX since 2018 as a lead operations engineer and serving in mission control during multiple crewed missions.

Because Anil only recently became a graduate of NASA's astronaut program, Menon is also the first in her family to head to space.

“I’m incredibly honored to get to go and really thrilled to have the opportunity," Menon said. "It was a dream from a young age and I never thought it would happen.”
