Ilija Sutalo has given us a detailed and fascinating insight into Croatian settlers from the 1800s to the present, the likes of which has never before been attempted. Yet Croatians have been here for 150 years, and, by the 1930s, were well organised and conscious of their heritage. A people without whom Australia could not have developed and grown.
From 1846 to the present day, the Vatican has maintained quite the same message brought forth from Heaven by different messengers across time and across vast distances and continents. This message echoes the gravest of admonitions and calls mankind to convert and find refuge through the knowledge of the truth, which today threatens the very basis of world peace... Today, in 2022, the message of La Salette, La Fraudais, Tilly, Fatima, Garabandal, Akita and Medjugorje, and their secrets take a meaning of the greatest importance, as the admonitions brought forth by the Blessed Virgin Mary warn of a cataclysmic global disaster which has now become imminent. The Church’s apprehension of frightening the masses, inspired inaction and Rome’s decision to silence – founded more on fear than on caution – led millions of faithful to the darkness of ignorance and, therefore, to a lack of necessary conversion, prayers and intercession for peace. This book proposes unveiling the light and, thus, asking humanity to respond to the call of a warm and loving mother who merely seeks the salvation of her children.
M stays in the shadows serving an unscrupulous dictator, biding his time. He's loyal but who isn't? A canny operator, he knows all the political tricks of the trade and more. Once he sees the way the wind is blowing, he pulls together a cabal of traitors who, as soon as the Boss is pronounced dead, launches a campaign of nationalist disruption and disinformation. Everyone who wants power needs an army preferably backed by a major power. Russia is willing. However, two of his henchmen rebel, dismayed by the military and its vicious onslaughts on innocent civilians. In return they are mercilessly hunted down, surviving bombardments, sieges, mass slaughtering and a hit man. An unlikely heroine turns out to be their saviour.
The internment camp on Rottnest Island, established for enemy aliens from Germany and Austria-Hungary during World War I, can be considered a historical oddity, not least because Indigenous prisoners were also held captive there by Australian soldiers and warders. The coexistence of men from the most diverse backgrounds and social circumstances, some of whom did not even share a common language, yet still cohabited peacefully, serves on reflection as an inspiration. Thanks to a multitude of photographs, we can still gain a very good insight into this period in Australia, when rare scenes of fraternisation transcended contentious national and ethnic boundaries during the Great War.
This monograph is intended as a contribution to the integral description of language and verbal communication. Chapter I and Chapters VII and VIII are concerned with general problems of emotivity and expressivity in language as such and on all linguistic levels. These chapters describe emotivity from a new semiotic perspective and suggest a typology of emotive signs and meanings. Chapter II discusses general methodology of investigating and "measuring" emotive meaning in the area of word-formation (with examples from Russian). Chapters III, IV and V treat Russian diminutives fromgeneral-structural, lexical-contextual and pragmatic perspectives, while Chapter VI presents a comparison of the semantic structures of the various types of emotive noun derivatives which exist in Russian. The book thus begins with a general treatment on emotivity, goes on to consider the specific case of emotive noun-formation, giving special attention to the Russian diminutives, and then returns, by way of a comparison of the semantic structures of various types of emotive nouns, to more general problems of emotivity in language and to semiotic typology.
For more than two decades, the Blessed Virgin Mary has reportedly appeared daily in apparition to six Croatian youths in the rural village of Medjugorje in Bosnia-Hercegovina. This incrediable event began in June 1981 and continues to the present. The stated objective is to bring the people of the world back to God. The apparitions are elevated in drama and urgency as the Virgin reveals that these will be her formal apparations on earth, because. as she adds, it will no longer be necessary...The past two centuries have been described as the darkest in human history. Revolutions fueled by humanism with a singular hatred of religion have led to an erosion of moral law, world wars. the edipemic...
The Rolling Stone reporter’s “fascinating . . . globe-trotting, first-person spiritual odyssey” into the Catholic Church’s investigations of reported miracles (Seattle Post-Intelligencer). In a tiny, dilapidated trailer in northeastern Oregon, a young woman saw a vision of the Virgin Mary in an ordinary landscape painting hanging on her bedroom wall. After some skepticism from the local parish, the matter was placed “under investigation” by the Catholic diocese. Investigative journalist and Rolling Stone contributor Randall Sullivan wanted to know how, exactly, one might conduct an official inquiry into such an incident. So began his eight year immersion into the world of “Mira...
Gentlemen Good morning, I wanted to make sixteen pilgrimages to Medjugorje, I went two or three times a year, since 2007, now with the pandemic you can't go, but I'm looking forward to returning. I describe in particular two "greetings" from the Virgin Mary, which she gave me, addressed only to me, I pray in my own way, never for me, I do not demand, I ask thanks for my children. My work serves to do apostolate, the Celestial Mother niei her thousands of messages, given to the visionaries, she always urges us, we can all do it, be witnesses. I tasted my experiences, and being in that place is a healing of the soul, the brain, you feel His constant presence, I urge everyone to take part in that "magical" place you will find inner peace, this happens to me, and to millions of pilgrims, thanks, happy reading.

Current volume examines Finnish-Russian literary contacts that have not been thoroughly studied previously – the translation and reception history of Russian literature in Finland, and Finnish literature in Russia from 1800 until 1930. Personal contacts have influenced the decisions of what to translate and by whom more than the evident European context of Russian literature. In Finland, the relationship with Russia and attitudes to its literature have always been a political issue. Hostile relations have meant a remarkable decrease in translations, but maintained active discussion of Russian culture. During more friendly times, the inquisitive interest has increased and led to more intensive translation activities. However, since the early days of Finnish literature, only few intellectuals have known Russian well enough to translate literature into Swedish or Finnish. Consequently, translating has been highly dependent on individual mediators, often with a transnational identity.
