Anglo-Danish Empire: A Companion to the Reign of King Cnut the Great

Anglo-Danish Empire is an interdisciplinary handbook for the Danish conquest of England in 1016 and the subsequent reign of King Cnut the Great. Bringing together scholars from the fields of history, literature, archaeology and manuscript studies, the volume offers comprehensive analysis of England\u27s shift from Anglo-Saxon to Danish rule. It follows the history of this complicated transition, from the closing years of the reign of King Æthelred II and the Anglo-Danish wars to Cnut\u27s accession to the throne of England and his consolidation of power at home and abroad. Ruling from 1016 to 1035, Cnut drew England into a Scandinavian empire that stretched from Ireland to the Baltic. His reign rewrote the place of Denmark and England within Europe, altering the political and cultural landscapes of both countries for decades to come.https://scholarworks.wmich.edu/mip_nmw/1009/thumbnail.jp

An Examination of William Faulkner\u27s Use of Biblical Symbolism in Three Early Novels: The Sound and the Fury, As I Lay Dying, and Light in August

During the years 1928-1932, William Faulkner wrote and published three novels containing varying but significant amounts of Biblical content and symbolism: The Sound and the Fury (1929), As I Lay Dying (1930), and Light in August (1932). In The Sound and the Fury, the characters of Benjy and Quentin Compson share some characteristics of Christ figures, but receive irony-laden treatment. The novel, however, presents the purest Christian character of this period of Faulkner\u27s writing--the Compson family\u27s Negro servant Dilsey. The Bible holds a similar influence over As I Lay Dying, specifically in the Old Testament. The Christian characters in this novel are ironically portrayed as bigots, while seemingly less moral characters are viewed as more spiritual. Light in August features both Faulkner\u27s strongest Christ figure (the misunderstood Joe Christmas) and the most complicated minister (the jaded Rev. Hightower) of this early period. In all, this use of Biblical symbolism stems from a profound understanding of Christian thought and doctrine on Faulkner\u27s part

The Demand for Products Linked to Public Goods: Evidence from an Online Field Experiment

We conduct a field experiment at a nonprofit organization's online store to study how demand changes when consumers' purchases generate revenue for a charitable cause. Consumers respond strongly when their purchases generate small donations by an anonymous outside group, but responses are substantially weaker when the outside donations are relatively large. Responses are also strong when the outside donation requires a personal donation which consumers generally decline. Overall, increasing the salience of financial incentives appears to dampen consumers' responses to charitable messages. We also present evidence that the donation pledges reduce price sensitivity and have positive long-term effects on demand

Shaped wafer

The present invention relates to a no- or low-sugar wafer having a form that can not be moulded, and can also be described as a no- or low-sugar wafer with a developable surface where its shape does not have an unobstructed projected surface. It also relates to a method for making said wafer according to a three-stage process comprising a pre-baking step leading to an intermediate pre-baked wafer product with high moisture content, then a shaping step, and finally a drying step to form the final wafer product.
