Chopin – Nocturne in E flat major

Miami University “Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence”

Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence (1983)* is set in a Japanese POW camp on Java in 1942 during World War II. The film explores the clash of cultures and moral codes between British/Allied prisoners and their Japanese captors under the imperial ideology of Bushido and unconditional loyalty to the Emperor. The Japanese officers, led by the traditionalist Captain Yonoi and the more pragmatic Sergeant Hara, view surrender as the ultimate dishonor and treat prisoners harshly, yet are themselves trapped by rigid military honor that forbids mercy or personal emotion.

The British prisoners, represented by the defiant Colonel Lawrence and the spiritually scarred Major Celliers, embody a Western individualism that baffles the Japanese command. Beneath the surface, the film critiques both Japanese militarism (which demanded suicidal obedience) and the hypocrisy of colonial empires that condemned Japanese brutality while ignoring their own.

The political heart of the story lies in the fatal incompatibility of two imperial systems during total war, where neither side can truly understand or forgive the other.  It offers some modest insight into why Americans eschew getting involved in the wars of other nations.


David Bowie played Major Jack “Strafer” Celliers, a charismatic, haunted British (New Zealand in the original novel) officer captured by the Japanese in 1942.Celliers is the enigmatic newcomer to the POW camp whose defiance, moral courage, and almost mystical aura deeply affect both the prisoners and Captain Yonoi (Ryuichi Sakamoto), who becomes quietly obsessed with him. His backstory—revealed in a powerful flashback—involves betraying his younger brother to avoid bullying at boarding school, a guilt he carries for the rest of his life and ultimately redeems through a sacrificial act in the camp. Bowie’s performance is widely regarded as one of his finest on screen

Interiors

 

“The Country School” | Winslow Homer

Today at 11 AM EDT we review the status consensus products (codes, standards, guidelines, recommendations and safety legislation) that set the standard of care for the design, manufacture and maintenance of interior fixtures such as carpet, furniture, bookshelves and ceiling tiles, plumbing fixtures.  Waste management, laboratory fixtures, recycling amenities — i.e. things are not nailed down — are on the agenda.   Also we track elevated interest and market-making by conformity interests in the manufacturing and material recycling far up the value chain.

In large research universities, it is common for building service personnel engaged in keeping facilities clean and tidy to constitute the largest proportion of permanent employees; thus some consideration must be given to occupational safety.
