Was Julius Caesar a Military Tyrant or a Saviour of Rome? The aristocracy and their unwillingness to reform the Republic caused men like Caesar to be necessary. Without Caesar and his heir Augustus Rome would have declined far sooner than it did. Caesar and Augustus were the necessary shocks to the system. There’s no doubt that Rome went down a better path because of him, seeing as how the end of the republic also meant the end of political instability in Rome for more than 200 years. (Caesar Rome April 45 BCE the Great Roman Civil War had finished and Caesar could turn away from war and focus on the poitics of the Republic. Caeser believed the power of the Roman Republic had been its common people not the aristocracy as the Optimates believed. The reforms enacted by Caesar throughout his career enabled Rome to become the worlds dominant power for hundreds of years after his assassination. Witness the parallels between the West in the present day and Rome during the Roman Civil War. --- Any society is built upon its people. People are the greatest capital of any country. The economy, society and genetics of a society is the people of that society. Thus any immigration policy must be selective not non-selective. Selective immigration and non-selective immigration are two completely different concepts. Selective immigration will reduce consanguinity within a population and the descendants of the selected immigrants represent the future of the respective society). ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UDj7EpikibE.html --- Roman Senate Optimates and Populares. Optimates -- The optimates (optimats- Latin for "best ones", singular- optimas), also known as boni ("good men"), are a label in studies of the late Roman republic. They are seen as supporters of the continued authority of the senate. Populares -- The Populares (Latin for "favoring the people", singular popularis) were a political faction in the late Roman Republic who favoured the cause of the plebeians (the commoners). --- The Roman voting system heavily favoured the rich with the poor having only a comparatively limited amount of influence in voting. This is exactly the scenario in present day USA politics. Caesar's reforms gave financial incentives for Roman's to have larger families to try and boost Rome's diminished population. Demographics is destiny and the future of any society correlates with the birth rate of the women of that society. The most important statistic in any society is the average age of women when the first child is born, Western politicians have forgotten this basic fact!
The fall of Rome was attributed to 3 things 1) Moral Decay 2) Poor leadership 3) Pandemics ...hmm maybe there is a trend? The HPV Virus that causes Warts and Cervical Cancer is the real Pandemic in Western Society. The only way to remove a wart is either Cryotherapy Liquid Nitrogen or Laser Surgery. Laser Surgery is not an option due to the tissue damage. The creams both Dermatologist's and GP's prescribe to remove Warts do not work as the HPV virus penetrates to deep into the skin for them to work. Cryothrapy Liquid Nitrogen -- There is almost zero availability and zero capacity for Cryotherpy Liquid Nitrogen to remove warts, Dermatologist's -- A patient attending a Dermatology department is akin to visiting an allotment full of cabbages no matter how hard you try between them the Dermatologist's will not be able to help the patient. Dermatology -- The most negligent incompetent inept Medical Doctor's in recorded history! --- Not a single migrant has been screened for disease in decades. Classical Rome Roman Legions returning from War with Persia carried Smallpox with them back to Europe and into Rome. Smallpox decimated the European population for more than 1700 years before Edward Jenner developed the Smallpox Vaccine from Cowpox puss. Potentially what diseases might the migrants be carrying with them? Leprosy is one potential disease the migrants might be carrying with them into Europe and Britain. The scary ting about Leprosy is Dermatologists would be responsible for correctly diagnosing Leprosy in patients. From personal experience Dermatologist's are as thick as two short planks! The negligence incompetence and ineptitude of Dermatologist's is an acute public health issue and must be resolve immediately. Human history is shaped by disease and at this very time migrants arriving into Europe and Britain without any health screening might be writing the next chapter in human history being the diseases they are carrying with them into Britain and Europe. --- --- Not a single migrant arriving in Europe has been screened for disease in decades. Human history has been shaped by disease. Migrant arriving in Britain and Europe might potentially be carrying a plethora of diseases and there is no health screening of migrants before arriving and/or after arriving. Smallpox arrived in Europe by Roman Legions returning from war with Persia. Smallpox decimated the European population for more than 1700 years before Edward Jenner developed the Smallpox Vaccine from Cowpox puss. Leprosy is one of many diseases migrants could potentially be carrying with them into Europe. The scary thing is Dermatologist's would be responsible for correctly diagnosing Leprosy. The next chapter of human history is being written at this very time and it is the disease the migrants will inevitably be carrying with them into Europe that will shape European history for hundreds of years to come. What would the financial cost be of a Leprosy outbreak in the conurbations of Europe? Baffled as to why the medical profession is silent about the issue of disease being carried into Europe by non-selective immigration but here and now the priority must be to establish health screening of migrants. The potential for the deliberate malicious transmission of disease in swimming pools for example Leprosy? Selective immigration and non-selective immigration are two completely different concepts.
As always, I’m left absolutely speechless. The Choral Scholars of UCD are holding such a high level over the years bringing one highlight after the other. It is pure joy to listen.
The music strikes at one’s heart, the young singers give us hope but the choral arrangements are what makes this group such a joy and so powerful.....greetings from America!
Wunderschön, unübertrefflich... University College Dublin, Choral Scholars ist für mich das non plus ultra der irischen Folklore. Danke für den Genuss ...
Berthold once said that music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. Thank you for feeding my soul you lovely people. Greetings from Serbia.
Western and northern Europeans have green and blue and brown eyes and have had them for a very long time, though the blue were a very distinctive quality
This music reminds me that on such cold evenings as today I used to go to the Irish pub over here in Hamburg, Germany, where musicians used to meet for sessions on Sunday evenings before the pandemic. Cheers to all members of the choir. And thank you for making my Holiday Season much brighter with your awesome Christmas album. God bless you! If I‘d be 30 years younger I‘d apply for a student exchange to Dublin, just to sing with you.
On top of the excellent performance, i feel that whoever did the makeup look deserves lots of praise as well. The soft rose with the subtle gray smokey eye is just absolutely stunning and fits with the song
I fully agree, I miss my years in Ireland, although it has changed a lot and not always for the best since, their holding on to the incredible beauty of their culture is a genuine pleasure to the eye and ear. Whether like here a soul-touching type of singing or feet kicking dance music, traditional Irish music leaves only the deaf unmoved.
@M M it's lovely to hear good things about my country, but there's beauty to be found in the souls of all peoples, it's just all different, unique and special
@@cathalofaolain9103 Sure, but Ireland must remain Irish. When I want to go experience another culture and people, I travel. But the distinct differences and uniqueness of each individual country is what makes the world beautiful..
@@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath uh, don't worry, it will, cultures don't change all that much in a few decades. If anything more people are speaking Irish now than all of the 20th century, so that's great!
The Choral Scholars bring Mr. Earley's arrangement of this ballad of tell anew a story of love, loss, and personal determination for change. A wonderful production beautifully done. The combined musical talent of this fine group shine forth as bright as ever. Thank you.
When Caitlin sings "Where the grass grows the greenest" and says "I come from where the girls are the prettiest in the world", she's not kidding. Gorgeous!
@M Mac "When virtue and modesty enlighten her charms, the lustre of a beautiful woman is brighter than the stars of heaven, and the influence of her power it is in vain to resist.” Ahkenaton.
No kidding! I've watched several of these now and I love the voices; somewhere along the line I thought to myself: "Is every girl in Ireland beautiful?" 🤔...🥰
This performance is number 30 Million in why I love the Irish People. The main girl, I swear, is an ANGEL. Love to my Irish Fam!!! From Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
Sitting by a fireplace feeling the heat upon my body, a sip of the Irish Dew for the insides, and The Choral Scholars of University College Dublin - playing softly in my ears. T'is a fine night for an old man as the snow falls outside. God Bless You All.
I've had this on repeat all day since I came across it this morning. Yet another perfect hit by the Choral Scholars of UCD. Special compliments to the young lady with the leading role -- she has an excellent, beautiful voice.
Los primeros colonizadores de Irlanda fuimos los celtas y vascos españoles. Algo de DNA nuestro deben tener bajo ese aspecto de posteriores normandos y vikingos. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KgqjLMESS78.html&ab_channel=Alex989Y
Lovely, just lovely. I appreciate your sharing of this skilled and warm performance and I'm so happy for your timely online presence. Saying hello from the blowing snow and -12 temps here in the St. Lawrence Valley in northern New York, USA.
I kinda tumbled into Irish music during the quarantine of 2020, the Choral Scholars have by far some of my favourite songs and renditions from the Emerald Isle and the of the surrounding countries too.
I went out and learned these lyrics right after hearing this!!! GORGEOUS. Keep up the amazing work!! And for the wonderful men playing the instruments: YOU ARE INCREDIBLE. Gave me chills.
So ein himmlicher Gesang und so schöne blaue Augen! Das ist ein Genuß! • Such a singing of heaven and such wonderful blue eyes! A pleasure! You are great (all of you!)
The excellent videography and sound on these videos add so much to the wonderful skills of these students. You should all be so proud. They are very special. Thank you!
You singers and players are bringing much needed beauty into an ugly world. Your music stirs my soul, and I am utterly captivated. A warm hello from Mississippi, USA, and may God bless each and every one of you!
I honestly don't know how many times I've listened to this song at this point? 20? 30? The harmony is still just as pristine and lovely as the first. You should be very proud.
Thanks again. All of your recordings are so good. Comments on Irish singing always skew a bit strange. We aren't really giving these singers the credit they have earned when we start talking about fairies, other worlds, and our great-grandparents. Talented humans put in a lot of work on well-chosen songs. Half these comments are trying to change the subject.
I really forgot how real music sounds like, music that goes to the heart and the soul... Thanks so much for the great work you do... just outstanding..
I was going to comment this as well. I'm pretty sure the chord progressions in the melody are the same, which is probably not all that uncommon for folk songs.
Nice video. Such striking blue eyes and amazingly naturally beautiful women. The guys are handsome too.lol. This video alone makes me want to visit Ireland in 2022.
Are these folks wearing some funky contact lenses, or does every single one of them just happen to have a otherworldly beautiful eyes in addition to an otherworldly beautiful voice? Because that seems like a lot of things from another world for one person to have.
@@UCDPerformingGroups , so maybe you made some enhancements in post-processing, then? Surely there cannot be so many beautiful lasses with such perfect blue eyes, in all of Dublin!
You could sing the song when Irish Eyes are smiling Bing Crosby - most Irish people have blue or blue grey eyes and some lovely green and even brown as well - Slainte
All of your arrangements are lovely. To think I had an opportunity to listen in on a study abroad opportunity at your university! How wonderful that would have been.
