Critical approaches to the story have been mixed, with differing opinions expressed as to the competing merits of the volume's three versions. Across Europe, car engines are spontaneously exploding; this coincides with the spectre of a potential war throughout the continent, resulting in Captain Haddock being mobilised into the navy. Although detectives Thomson and Thompson initially suspect that the oil crisis is a scam intended The Adventures of Tintin: Land of Black Gold drive up business for a local roadside assistance company, Tintin learns from the managing director of Belgium's leading oil company, Speedol, that it is a result of someone tampering with the petrol at its source, and discovers a conspiracy involving a crew member of Destination Moon of their petrol tankersthe Speedol Star. The Adventures of Tintin: Land of Black Gold three work undercover as new members of the Star' s crew as it sets off for the Middle Eastern kingdom of Khemed. Recognising Snowy from Tintin's earlier scouting of the ship, the treacherous mate attempts to drown the dog, but becomes amnesiac in an altercation with Tintin. Upon arrival, Tintin and the detectives are framed and arrested by the authorities under various charges. Thomson and Thompson are cleared and released, but Tintin is kidnapped by the Arab insurgent Bab El Ehrwho mistakenly believes that Tintin has information for him concerning an arms delivery. Tintin escapes and encounters an old enemy, Dr. He reunites with Thomson and Thompson during a sandstorm and eventually arrives in Khemed's capital city of Wadesdah. He finds the prince, who is imprisoned in a dungeon, and rescues him as Haddock arrives with the authorities. Thomson and Thompson find the tablets and, mistaking them for aspirin due to their being packaged as such, swallow them, resulting in them growing long hair and beards that change colour. After analysing the tablets, Professor Calculus develops an antidote for Thomson and Thompson and a means of countering the affected oil supplies. The idea of European nations rivaling each other for oil supplies was inspired by a February issue of Le Crapouillot magazine. Discharged within the month, he returned to Brussels and began Land of Black Gold. However, he fell ill with sinusitis and boils and was declared unfit for service in May This version, which amounts to 58 pages, has never been collected in book form. Given its portrayal of Germans as the antagonists of the story, it would not have been appropriate for Land of Black Gold to continue serialisation under Nazi occupation. After completing serialisation of Prisoners of the Sun in Aprilhe ordered his staff Destination Moon re-serialise one of his old stories, Popol and Virginiawhile he took a three-month break. Black Gold was a repair, and I abandoned it. The story began serialisation in Tintin magazine from 16 Septemberbefore beginning its serialisation in Explorers on the Moon v. 6 French edition of Explorers on the Moon v. 6 magazine Destination Moon 28 October Seeking to limit his workload, he would only produce one page of Land of Black Gold per issue, with the other page being filled by a re-serialisation of old stories from his Jo, Zette and Jocko series. Jacobs sent him letters urging him to return to work. In the original versions, Tintin arrived at Haifa in British-occupied Palestinewhere he was arrested by British police before being captured by members of The Adventures of Tintin: Land of Black Gold Zionist terrorist organization the Irgunwho mistake him for one of their own agents named "Finkelstein" in the first version, "Salomon Goldstein" in the secondbefore being abducted by a henchman of Bab El Ehr. In this revised version, Tintin arrives at Khemkhah in Khemed, where he is arrested by the Arab military police before being captured and taken directly to Bab El Ehr. Jean-Marc Lofficier and Randy Lofficier believed that Land of Black Gold suffered from having been "rebaked", being "pulled between the 'old' pre-war Tintin and the more modern one. They felt that this pre-Second World War atmosphere also pervaded the second, coloured version of the book, but that they had nevertheless been partly removed by the creation of the third version. Michael Farr believed that Land of Black Gold illustrated Destination Moon "shelved material could be usefully resuscitated. Literary critic Tom McCarthy believed that in the story, the desert represented "a space of multiple misreading", which included the mirages, fake documents, and cases of mistaken The Adventures of Tintin: Land of Black Gold.

Start your review of The Adventures of Tintin, Vol. Besides the adventure with Tintin actually on the moon, this volume was a little boring compared to the others. The Land of Black Gold read like his first Tintin books with the lack of Haddock, which I though he was need more of in the story. The first moon story didn't have much happen and was more them getting ready for lift off. The last moon story and the last in this 3-in-1 actually had a good story and felt like a good Tintin book.

  • Bovine Benefactories: an Examination of the Role of Religion in Cow Sanctuaries Across the United States
    BOVINE BENEFACTORIES: AN EXAMINATION OF THE ROLE OF RELIGION IN COW SANCTUARIES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES _______________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board _______________________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY ________________________________________________________________ by Thomas Hellmuth Berendt August, 2018 Examing Committee Members: Sydney White, Advisory Chair, TU Department of Religion Terry Rey, TU Department of Religion Laura Levitt, TU Department of Religion Tom Waidzunas, External Member, TU Deparment of Sociology ABSTRACT This study examines the growing phenomenon to protect the bovine in the United States and will question to what extent religion plays a role in the formation of bovine sanctuaries. My research has unearthed that there are approximately 454 animal sanctuaries in the United States, of which 146 are dedicated to farm animals. However, of this 166 only 4 are dedicated to pigs, while 17 are specifically dedicated to the bovine. Furthermore, another 50, though not specifically dedicated to cows, do use the cow as the main symbol for their logo. Therefore the bovine is seemingly more represented and protected than any other farm animal in sanctuaries across the United States. The question is why the bovine, and how much has religion played a role in elevating this particular animal above all others. Furthermore, what constitutes a sanctuary? Does

Commissioned by the conservative Belgian newspaper Le Vingti'me Sicle for his children's supplement Le Petit Vingti'me, it was serialized weekly from August 1938 to August 1939. Gerge conceived this story as a satirical critique of nazi Germany's expansionist policies, in particular the annexation of Austria in March 1938 (Anschluss). The story tells the story of a young Belgian reporter Tintin and his dog Snowy, who go to the fictional Balkan nation of Sildavi, where they fight a conspiracy to overthrow the monarchy of King Muskar XII. Gerge continued Tintin's Adventures with the Land of Black Gold until the forced closure of Le Vingti'me Sicle in 1940, while the series itself became a defining part of the Franco-Belgian comic tradition. In 1947, Gerge was painted and repainted by King Ottokar's scepter in his distinctive ligne-claire style with the help of Edgar. Jacobs for The Casterman Republican. The story represents the recurring character Bianca Castafiore, and represented the fictional countries of Syldavia and Borduria, both of which appear in later stories.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of East Anglia digital repository POLISH-JEWISH FICTION BEFORE THE SECOND WORLD WAR: A TESTING GROUND FOR POLYSYSTEM THEORY WANDA JÓZWIKOWSKA Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Literary Translation University of East Anglia School of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing September 2016 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. ABSTRACT In this thesis, I intend to show that it is possible to offer a partial explanation for the fact that pre-war Polish-Jewish fiction has been recognised only to a very limited extent in Britain. In doing this, I embrace the limitations and unaddressed areas of polysystem theory, an approach that leads to several contributions to this theory so that it is more suited to look at marginal translations. In this study, the source context and the largely hypothetical target context (given the predominant lack of English translations) of pre-war Polish-Jewish fiction are conceptualised as systems informed by a variety of factors. I begin by introducing polysystem theory in Chapter 1, where I also explain the rationale for its use in this study. I also briefly define pre-war Polish-Jewish fiction and elaborate on the nature of its visibility in Britain.

He is among the invited guests at the end of that adventure in the Maritime Gallery at Marlinspike Hall. He speaks only briefly with first Mitsuhirato by phone , and then Thomson and Thompson in person. When Ridgewell was captured by an enemy nation called the Rumbabas Bibaros in the original version , the witch doctor kept this from the other Arumbayas, hoping to be rid of his rival. Opera singer Bianca Castafiore has a guru: Endaddine Akass is handing his advice out to everyone, but Tintin doesn't buy it—especially when he realizes that Akass might be connected to the death of the owner of an art gallery, who had been on his way to see Tintin when he died. He and Tintin first meet in Cigars of the Pharaoh. It was implied that he did not survive after being shot by Sakharine's accomplices. Wolff is ultimately exposed as a spy who was coerced into helping an unnamed foreign power hijack the moon rockets he had helped build, after they learnt of his former compulsive gambling and heavy debt. Bolt is one of the people who send the Captain a telegram when his engagement to marry Bianca Castafiore is erroneously announced.

The University of Western Ontario, 2010 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Language and Literacy Education) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October, 2018 © Laura Ann Teichert, 2018 The following individuals certify that they have read, and recommend to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for acceptance, the dissertation entitled: AN EXAMINATION OF YOUNG CHILDREN’S DIGITAL LITERACY PRACTICES IN THE HOME BEFORE AND DURING THE TRANSITION TO KINDERGARTEN submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements by Laura Ann Teichert for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Language and Literacy Education Examining Committee: Dr. Jim Anderson Supervisor Dr. Marlene Asselin Supervisory Committee Member Dr. Nancy Perry Supervisory Committee Member Dr. Lee Gunderson University Examiner Dr. Cay Holbrook University Examiner ii Abstract Many young children in western societies become literate in a world that relies heavily on digital technology. However, in early childhood education, play-based learning is typically the focus of curriculum and increased digital engagement by young children has caused concern among parents, educators and other key stakeholders. These concerns emanate from a belief that other activities (e.g., reading) are more constructive for young children. The purpose of this study was to describe young children’s digital tool use and engagement in digital literacy activities in the context of family life before, and as they transitioned into, kindergarten.
