Kon tiki expedition 19476/28/2023 ![]() ![]() The Norwegian government gave him a state funeral in Oslo Cathedral on 26 April 2002. ![]() He died on 18 April 2002 in Colla Micheri, Italy, while visiting close family members. He was appointed a government scholar in 1984. Heyerdahl made other voyages to demonstrate the possibility of contact between widely separated ancient peoples, notably the Ra II expedition of 1970, when he sailed from the west coast of Africa to Barbados in a papyrus reed boat. This was linked to a diffusionist model of cultural development. The expedition was designed to demonstrate that ancient people could have made long sea voyages, creating contacts between societies. Heyerdahl is notable for his Kon-Tiki expedition in 1947, in which he sailed 8,000 km (5,000 mi) across the Pacific Ocean in a hand-built raft from South America to the Tuamotu Islands. Thor Heyerdahl KStJ ( Norwegian pronunciation: 6 October 1914 – 18 April 2002) was a Norwegian adventurer and ethnographer with a background in biology with specialization in zoology, botany and geography. ![]()

Culture and anarchy6/27/2023 ![]() We no longer have that inspirational leader and those visionary policies. ![]() “They can sense it and they can smell it. “We are drifting and people know that,” she said. ![]() Nadine Dorries, the former culture secretary and one of Johnson’s biggest backers, told the conference that the party had undergone an “astonishing political tumble” since Johnson secured an 80-strong majority in 2019 and was “going backwards”. “They vote Conservative because they expect us to keep taxes down.” “The public will not vote Conservative because they want high taxes, high spending and high borrowing,” she said. In comments reminiscent of the disastrous Liz Truss leadership, she also backed a tax-cutting agenda, despite the perilous state of public finances and stubbornly high inflation. She also criticised MPs for removing Johnson, saying they had overseen the “ousting of our most electorally successful prime minister since Margaret Thatcher”. ![]() In a clear swipe at those now in charge, she said some senior figures at Westminster had “done a better job at damaging our party” over the past year than Labour. Speaking at the inaugural conference of the pro-Boris Johnson Conservative Democratic Organisation (CDO) in Bournemouth on Saturday, former home secretary Priti Patel suggested the party’s high command under Sunak was responsible for the losses. ![]()

David mitchell author slade house6/27/2023 ![]() ![]() PAUL HARRIS:As we suspected, the reviews of David Mitchell’s Slade House seem quite cleanly divided between two types of responses. Either the novel is a “devilishly fun … fiendish delight” fit to devour in a single sitting like the twins sucking down another soul, or it is dismissed as “soul-sucking mumbo-jumbo” registering too high on the “wackometer” to enjoy, let alone take seriously. ![]()
