![]() ![]() I would definitely buy this again, and would recommend it to others as well. ![]() That’s OK though – it takes up such a small amount of space that even if I think of one blog post (and I’ve written two already this flight) it will have been worth it. It might be that I don’t think of anything to write about, and the thing stays in my cabin bag all week. Microsoft have a history of making good devices, and I use and like their wired keyboards. The MS one feels sturdy and high-quality. Is silly money and the others are either bigger, bulkier, or look cheap. I’ve only used it with iOS devices, so the start button doesn’t work (though the volume keys do).The reason I got this keyboard over the others? The Apple one It was super-easy to pair and connect, and just works. I haven’t had it long enough to say anything about battery life, it’s still on its originals. The keyboard I got (and the one shown in the photo) is the Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 5000. Using the Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 5000 on a flight to Turkeyĭepending on whether or not I can think of anything to say, I think it’ll work just as well by the pool. However, the keyboard is (relatively) cheap, is thin and lightweight, and fits on the seat tray alongside the phone: In these circumstances, there’s no way I’d take a laptop or an iPad – I wouldn’t use either to justify the weight, and I’d spend the whole week worrying about their welfare. I’m at 30,000 ft on a flight to Turkey for a family holiday writing this offline to be published when I get back. Therefore, if I’m going out and I think there’s a chance I might get some time to sit and write something, it’s a lot less hassle to take my phone (which I’d be taking anyway) and the keyboard.Ī perfect case in point is right now. It’s just as fast, there’s no lag and the phone screen is more than large enough to see what I’m doing (especially with iWriter). There’s fundamentally zero difference between using the keyboard on a phone and using it on a pad – it docks just the same, and works just the same. It’s on a desk and when I’m there I feel in work mode. That tends to mean that if I know I’m going to sit down and write something long, I’ll go and sit at the computer. It’s WiFi only and still new enough that I wouldn’t consider putting it in my bag and taking it around with me. I think there’s maybe two reasons for this: What’s actually happened is that I’m using both iWriter and the keyboard much more on my phone than on the pad. I also bought iWriter for the same reason. I bought it because I was about to get an iPad, and thought it would be a good complementing accessory. I bought a Bluetooth keyboard about two months ago. ![]()

![]() ![]() But, it had an extremely limited influence until the current era. The notion of muscularity was reintroduced to the world in the mid-16th century, with the discovery of what came to be known as the Farnese Hercules, a Roman copy of an ancient Greek sculpture. The greatest attitude shift, however, has been toward beefcake. As a result, privilege is signified by figures with low body-fat percentages that showcase taught muscles, by the leisure to afford long workouts in expensive gyms, by eating regimens crafted by coaches and trainers, by tans that bespeak travel, and by fitted, expensive clothing that accentuates these advantages. Today, the cost of access to the highest-quality food and gyms, as well as to the best information about how both ought to be used, has spiked. Things began to change only around 2000, with the proliferation of access to information about health via the internet. And while the first mass fitness revolution occurred in the early ’70s, the masculine figure it celebrated-the thin, jogger’s frame-remained aesthetically identical to the old upper-class ideal, if perhaps a bit less winded. Despite the more developed physiques found in Tarzan or James Bond films, athleticism has been far less esteemed throughout history than a body formed by ease, alcohol, and cigarettes. It’s a type that began to take shape in early 19th-century Europe, in England in particular, and held sway until very recently. (And on women, they present a whole other set of problems.) The ideal man-the gentle-man-has no muscles because he does no physical work he is also pale, because he has not toiled in the sun and he is tall because he is well-nourished. For much of history, muscles have been seen as vulgar, meaty indicators of labor rather than strength they have suggested oafishness or, at best, potentially deviant self-regard.Įven today, we’re not clear on whether muscle is an indication of health or narcissism, menace or manliness. Be it in the East or West, the epitome of a handsome man has generally been an idealized version of an upper-class individual, an archetype that has itself changed over time.īecause of this, people in many cultures have confronted muscle-today more commonly understood as a symbol of virile masculinity-as a problem. ![]() Class or status has been the determining factor in the defining of male exemplars. ![]() Send us feedback.In the history of masculinity, it is money rather than muscle that tends to be articulated.

Its exact rank varies greatly from dynasty to dynasty, and even within a dynasty. In imperial China, 侯 ( hóu) is generally, but not always, a middle-to-high ranking hereditary nobility title. In ancient China, 侯 ( hóu) was the second of five noble ranks 爵 ( jué) created by King Wu of Zhou and is generally translated as marquess or marquis.However, they are considered "equivalent" in relative rank. Like other major Western noble titles, marquess (or marquis) is sometimes used to translate certain titles from non-Western languages with their own traditions, even though they are, as a rule, historically unrelated and thus hard to compare. I observed that there were very few Viscounts, to which he replied "There are very few Viscounts," that they were an old sort of title & not really English that they came from Vice-Comites that Dukes & Barons were the only real English titles – that Marquises were likewise not English, & that people were mere made Marquises, when it was not wished that they should be made Dukes. I spoke to about the numbers of Peers present at the Coronation, & he said it was quite unprecedented. On the evening of the Coronation of Queen Victoria in 1838, the Prime Minister Lord Melbourne explained to her why (from her journals): The rank of marquess was a relatively late introduction to the British peerage: no marcher lords had the rank of marquess, though some were earls. The title is ranked below that of a duke, which was often largely restricted to the royal family. As a result of this, a marquess was trusted to defend and fortify against potentially hostile neighbours and was thus more important and ranked higher than a count. In times past, the distinction between a count and a marquess was that the land of a marquess, called a march, was on the border of the country, while a count's land, called a county, often was not. The theoretical distinction between a marquess and other titles has, since the Middle Ages, faded into obscurity. The coronet for a marquess in the British realms Examples include the Marquess of Carpio, Grandee of Spain. ![]() ![]() Normally a marqués is addressed as " The Most Illustrious Lord" ( Ilustrísimo Señor), or if he/she is a grandee as " The Most Excellent Lord" ( Excelentísimo Señor). One hundred forty-two of them are Spanish grandees. In Spain, the rank of Marquess/Marchioness ( Marqués/ Marquesa) still exists. See Belgian nobility § Marquesses in the Belgian nobility and List of noble families in Belgium § Marquesses. The title of marquess in Belgium predates the French Revolution and still exists today. The titles " duke" and " count" were similarly distinguished as ranks in the Byzantine Empire, with dux (literally, "leader") being used for a provincial military governor and the rank of comes (literally "companion," that is, of the Emperor) given to the leader of an active army along the frontier. The distinction between governors of frontier territories and interior territories was made as early as the founding of the Roman Empire when some provinces were set aside for administration by the senate and more unpacified or vulnerable provinces were administered by the emperor. The French word was derived from marche ("frontier"), itself descended from the Middle Latin marca ("frontier"), from which the modern English word march also descends. The word marquess entered the English language from the Old French marchis ("ruler of a border area") in the late 13th or early 14th century. For other uses, see Marchesa (disambiguation), Marchese (disambiguation), Marchioness (disambiguation), Marquis (disambiguation), Marquise (disambiguation), and Marquesa (disambiguation).Ī 17th-century engraving of a marquis in the robe worn during his creation ceremony "Marchesa", "Marchese", "Marchioness", "Marquis", "Marquise", and "Marquesa" redirect here. ![]() ![]() ![]() You’ll need to use an American Express card that earns Membership Rewards as your payment method.
