![]() In Iron Ambition, Tyson elaborates on the life lessons that D’Amato passed down to him and reflects on how the trainer’s words of wisdom continue to resonate with him outside the ring. In Tyson’s bestselling memoir Undisputed Truth, he recounted the role D’Amato played in his formulative years, adopting him at age sixteen after his mother died and shaping him both physically and mentally after Tyson had spent years living in fear and poverty. ![]() D’Amato died a year before Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in history.

![]() These are the key figures who defined the philosophical style.ġ. Philosophers who wrote about Nihilism – or Nihilists – were generally deeply critical of this rising apathy and indifference in society, and concerned about its corrosive effects. With no God, there was no guidance on subjects like morality, marriage, death and spirituality, leaving little to root us in place. Religious beliefs that were once widely accepted were thrown into question, and many began doubting if there was a God at all. The scientific discoveries of the Enlightenment tore apart the conventions of the past. Nihilism emerged during the late 19 th century, during a period of unprecedented societal change. It is also important for us to see the figures associated with Nihilism in the context they were writing. But it is also worth remembering that Nihilism was a complex school of thought with varying attitudes and opinions. (The term is derived from the Latin word ‘Nihil’, meaning nothing). There’s no denying that the Nihilists of 19 th century Europe had a gloomy outlook on life. ![]() ![]() ![]() Catherine does not notice that James and Isabella have feelings for one another.

Middlemarch offers a lament for the limited options available to women in late Regency England, alluding to their lost potential and unrealised dreams. The dreams of both are thwarted, as they make unwise marriage choices and must deal with the life-changing consequences of their actions through personal sacrifice and soul-searching.Įliot pushed the boundaries of expectation for female writers at the time, refusing to conform to the flighty romance and happy endings of her peers’ publications. At the heart of the book are Dorothea Brooke, a wealthy young woman with ambitions beyond her station, and Dr Tertius Lydgate, who believes he can effect change through the results of his research. Set in the early 1830s, as small town and rural certainties make way for industrial and political transformations, Eliot interweaves the lives of an entire community. ![]() ![]() ![]() Please see extended rules for appropriate alternative subreddits, like /r/suggestmeabook, /r/whatsthatbook, etc. ‘Should I read …?’, ‘What’s that book?’ posts, sales links, piracy, plagiarism, low quality book lists, unmarked spoilers (instructions for spoiler tags are in the sidebar), sensationalist headlines, novelty accounts, low effort content.

There are also other algorithms that do more to suppress color aliasing artifacts for cameras that are prone to creating them.

I just created this algorithm so it still needs evaluating- and it may benefit from some tuning: the look can be adjusted by changing the two filters. You can look at the example I posted and compare it to the output of the jpeg and raw of the same file in the comparison tool, or if you have Matlab you can process your own images- though the example script that calls it is rather crude (there isn't even provision for adjusting the white point except by changing the Matlab code).
