The Emperor, 1804-1812 (35-43yo)

• after 1805, Napoleon came to believe that he could make all of Europe into a Consular France writ large, with the sort of unity unseen since the days of Rome. He remarked 'we need a European law code, a European supreme court, a single currency, the same weights and measures, the same laws; I must make all the peoples of Europe into a single people, and Paris, the capital of the world.
• ... so, ... are now just family estates of the Buonapartes; imperial expansion
• the empire's growth far outpaced its capacity to extend its administration, integrate new territories, and absorb new subjects, 'brutal coloniers'
  

Downfall, 1812-1815 (43-46yo)

• when he .. into Russian territory in 1812, he brought along some potentially disturbing reading: Voltaire's History of Charles XII.
• he put a brave face, saying 'Gentlemen, remember the words of a Roman emperor ..' ; Genghis Khan
• in 1813, 'A man like me, does not give a shit about the lives of a million men'
• In France , the tightly controlled press; few knew about the losses in Russia
• the reasons for his failure: chance, personality, the nature of the war; the monarchs of Britian, Russia, and Prussia didn't recognize his legitimate sovereign
• he tried to kill himself by taking poison
• Bourbon Restoration lack of understanding of changes: far too much had changed since 1789, the introduction of civic equality, the large-scale transfer of land from the Church and noble emigres, in large part, to the peasantry; Louis XVIII believed, he was the chosen of God, and rather than accepting the constitution FROM the people, he GRANTed to them
  

Epilogue: 1815-the Present

• since 1815, last 6 yrs of his life on St Helena until 1821, probably with the stomach cancer (suspected poison), died at the age of 51.
• his passion and glory as an inspiration for soldiers, generals, Americas/Latin American countries; influnece on Germany n Italy; in France, the laws and institutions he created still largely stand
• Marxist school put more emphasis on the 'bourgeois revolution' of 1789
• What a novel his life was!
  

Futher Reading

• in the academic world, he is not even a cottage industry - he is heavy industry
• biographies: two of the best Alan Forrest's Napoleon (London: Quercus, 2011); Napoleon: Soldier of Destiny by Michael Broer (London, 2014)
• focus on political aspect
• the most comprehensive scholarly biography of his ...
• Primary Sources
• Introduction: best of all: Colin Jones, The Great Nation: France from Louis XV to Napoleon (London: Allen Lane, 2002)

It was on the radio this weekend alluded to the word 'country' with or without an article.
e.g.
Welcome to the country (a political territory)
Welcome to country (Australian indigenous language) This is the 'country' we see in this novel We of Never-never.

感谢大家一直以来对我们视频的支持，也感谢你们通过订阅我们的频道和观看过去6个月的旅行旅程给予我们的巨大支持。最近好多网友私信我们，在过去几周里对我们的Q和A一集视频留下了评论和建议。其中有网友提到问我是如何做到在留学生活中说上一口流利的英语，纠正自己的英语口音，即使我中国高三才出国留学的。
今天，我想通过分享我留学旅程和学习英语取得一些成功表达我的感激之情。另外，我也想提一些减少口音的技巧。 当我16岁时第一次来到加拿大时，我不得不从头开始学习英语，因为大家都知道学生在中国学习英语的方式是非常不同的。我学习英语是为了通过考试并取得好成绩。我在课堂上几乎不说英语，而且我的词汇量很可怜。此外，住在中国式的家庭环境也帮助不了我学习英语和在英语环境中学习的机会。
[youtube]5bLsgCicFIc[/youtube]

那我是如何从零开始学习英语的过程的呢？ 首先，我只想说中学时我的英语只能说是中等偏下。我通常在考试得到65％到70％的C或C +，而数学和科学一般为95％。我只和同龄的中国留学生交朋友。我的朋友说我有英式口音，因为我的教科书在中国高中时是牛津英语，但我还是渴望能和本地人更好的沟通来适应学习环境。

我根据自己的经验分享了给大家最给力的4个学习英语口音的技巧和方法，人人都能做到。现在有很多社交媒体和工具供你学习使用，比如看我们的油管视频啦，哈哈。
我的英语远非完美，仍然还在不停进步中，但我会继续学习，并与大家一起同步努力。感谢您观看此视频，请继续支持我们的频道。欢迎你给我们油管视频里留言，我们会努力地回答你们所有的问题和感想。在今后的视频里，我将与您分享我如何克服英语口语发音的一些难点。敬请关注。

What are your thoughts on it, yping?

I simply put it: knock down the big fellow . It's a social phenomenon manifested in many cultures. We, Chinese, also have the similar sayings such as 木秀于林，风必摧之 ... 行高于人，众必非之; 枪打出头鸟


'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''Australia and New Zealand’s usage of the term has evolved and is not uniformly negative. In Australia, a long history of “underdog” culture and profound respect for humility in contrast to that of Australia’s English feudal heritage results in a different understanding of “Tall poppy syndrome”.''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

I found the second para given is ambiguous. It concludes with 'a different understanding of ..' but does not say clearly what 'the different understanding' is. Isn't the underdog culture supporting that of tall poppy syndrome?
It's true Australia took no the hierarchical structure from the old world. Nonetheless, Australians have no differences in this from peoples elsewhere as Aussies love and support underdogs while scorning tall poppies.

我是零基础英语，到澳洲后主要是靠各种课程学的语言。
不过母语水平真的是不敢想了。

不打算考证，只想提高英语水平。2002年考过一次雅思阅读8分，另外三项都是6。出国前也翻译出版过一本专业书清华大学出版社的。但是来澳洲之后很多年了没有专门再学过英语，当然最开始很多年一直坚持全英语电影电视，现在也是每天听英文广播，英文书，只是没有专门学过单词。现在感觉单词差太多，看一些英文书的时候感觉特别明显。据说非母语的人学英文都会进入这样一个平台期，不知道该怎么提高。。。

Want some data? Here comes some data. Not the sort I mentioned but only more interesting.

In 2011 census Australia had roughly 540000 aboriginals but in 2016 census this numbers became 640000. Nearly 20% increase, by birth? Absolutely not possible. Then how? It's purely from a lot of people who didn't self identify as aboriginal in 2011 did in 2016, the people who have 1/4, 1/8, or even less aboriginal DNA. Let's not fool ourselves they changed their self-identity to seek their own aboriginal soul. They did only because they can get systematic benefits.

So back to the question, is it OK to be white? Yes it still is. BUT it's more OK to be something else even you're mostly white. So in other words being white is less OK.
