The idyllic picture is interrupted as Buzz yells out to Kevin about the state of his room. Kevin sees Old Man Marley out of the window and sees that he has invited his son and the family over for Christmas he watches as they reconcile and the old man greets his beloved granddaughter. Kevin does not tell his family about his encounter with the Wet Bandits, but when his father finds the burglar's gold tooth on the floor he wonders what could be. Soon afterwards, the rest of the family, fresh from their flight from Paris, arrive. Kate McCallister has driven home with a performing band, squished tightly into the back of their RV, and is relieved to see her son again. Kevin wakes up on Christmas morning hoping that his family will be home, but they are not, but he hears his mother open the front door and call his name. The police arrive, and the burglars are arrested. Kevin escapes the house with the burglars in hot pursuit, but Old Man Marley comes up behind them, knocking them out with a swing of his snow shovel, and taking Kevin home. They chase Kevin through the house and hang him on the towel hook behind the bathroom door when they catch him but he has already called 911. He sprinkles broken tree ornaments that are made of glass underneath the windowsill so that when the men break in they will cut their feet he also booby traps the cellar, causing Hal to break a tooth when a can of paint hits him in the face. Kevin heads home after church and prepares to booby trap the house so that the bandits cannot break into it. Kevin advises him to reconcile with his son so that he can spend Christmas with his family. He is watching the choir because his granddaughter is in it, and he doesn't get to see her anymore because he and his son had a big argument and no longer talk. He also runs into Old Man Marley watching a local choir performing in the church they talk, and Kevin learns that the old man is actually very nice. Kevin overhears the bandits talking about breaking into the McCallister home on Christmas Eve, and as the man of the house in the absence of his father, he decides to stymie their efforts. Then there is the matter of the Wet Bandits, Hal and Marv, who are in the middle of an inept, but determined, crime spree and are breaking into houses whilst people are away for the holidays. However, he is also a little scared by Old Man Marley who lives next door because local myth tells it that the old man murdered his entire family years before the appearance of him outside his house with a shovel makes Kevin very nervous. He does all of the things he is never allowed to do - bounces on the beds, uses Buzz's BB gun and eats junk food whilst watching gangster movies. Meanwhile, back at the McCallister home, Kevin thinks that his Christmas wish has come true when he realizes he is alone in the house. His absence is not noticed until the plane is airborne, leaving his frantic parents trying desperately to book a flight home again as soon as they deplane in France. The family is left scrambling to make it to the airport in time to catch their flight accidentally leaving Kevin behind. That night there is a power outage which re-sets all the appliances in the house, including the alarm clocks, which do not go off as planned. ![]() Well, that's the thing about Christmas wishes - they have a magical tendency to come true. Bratty eight year old Kevin McCallister (Macauley Culkin) gets into an argument with his older brother, Buzz, and is sent to bed early, wishing that his family would just disappear. The McCallister family is headed to Paris to spend Christmas with family. It's Christmas, and there is so much to do, especially when your entire family is going on vacation. ![]() We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own.

![]() Eventually, forces like the (Norman) Franks grew in power and influence across parts of Europe, and the centralization of governance under a conquering over-ruler spread with regions paying allegiance to a king by providing fighters and funds. Instead, small tribal bands were bonded by kinship, geographical identification, or religion rather than land ownership. īetween the withdrawal of the Roman Empire from Britain in the fourth century and the onset of the Viking raids in the eighth century, individual land ownership vanished from England. European feudalism had its roots in the Roman manorial system (in which workers were compensated with protection while living on large estates) and in the 8th century CE Kingdom of the Franks where a king gave out land for life ( benefice) to reward loyal nobles and receive service in return. ![]() The coined word feudal derives from an ancient Gothic source faihu signifying simply "property" which in its most basic sense was "cattle" and is a cognate of the classical Latin word pecus, which means both "cattle", "money" and "power". Not until 1748 did it become a popular and widely used word, thanks to Montesquieu's De L'Esprit des Lois (The Spirit of the Laws). The obligations and corresponding rights between lord and vassal concerning the fief formed the basis of the feudal relationship.The word, "feudalism", was not a medieval term, but an invention of sixteenth century French and English lawyers to describe certain traditional obligations between members of the warrior aristocracy. There were many varieties of feudal land tenure, consisting of military and non-military service. In exchange for the use of the fief and the protection of the lord, the vassal would provide some sort of service to the lord. A lord was in broad terms a noble who held land, a vassal was a person who was granted possession of the land by the lord, and a fief was what the land was known as. The classic version of feudalism describes a set of reciprocal legal and military obligations among the warrior nobility, revolving around the three key concepts of lords, vassals, and fiefs. It can be broadly defined as a system for structuring society around relationships derived from the holding of land, known as a fiefdom or fief, in exchange for service or labour. The 11th century in France saw what has been called by historians a “feudal revolution” or “mutation” and a “fragmentation of powers” that increased localized power and autonomy.įeudalism was a set of legal and military customs in medieval Europe that flourished between the 9th and 15th centuries.While modern writers such as Marx point out the negative qualities of feudalism, such as the exploitation and lack of social mobility for the peasants, the French historian Marc Bloch contends that peasants were part of the feudal relationship while the vassals performed military service in exchange for the fief, the peasants performed physical labour in return for protection, thereby gaining some benefit despite their limited freedom. ![]() ![]() This ceremony bound the lord and vassal in a contract.

I turned off automatic sleep detection mode and put it to manual. I thought it might be a problem with my Apple Watch so I went through all of the steps to make sure it was detecting my heart rate, had permission to collect data, etc. I would wake up and eagerly check the Pillow app only to see that it didn’t collect any data. But then one day the automatic sleep detection stopped working. It was annoying how you had to buy the premium version to see your past sleep data, but not a deal breaker. The automatic sleep detection was absolutely awesome. I was so happy to find a sleep tracking app that worked with Apple Watch and didn’t force you to pay just to track your sleep. I’m still finding ways to improve my sleep and Pillow has helped me more than any other method. Then I began taking a very small dose of melatonin. I was immediately able to see the impact with better levels. It struck me that the blue light may have been keeping me up, so I set a sleep timer on the tv. I initially found I was consistently getting too much REM sleep and too little deep sleep. You have to keep in mind there’s not much the app can directly do to improve your sleep, but with sound recording, metrics on the types of sleep you’re getting, and the number of awakenings, you can start to address specific things about your bedtime habits. While you can’t take it as gospel or a replacement for real medical tests (as the app even informs you), Pillow provides a lot of great insights, patterns, and data to help you understand your sleep habits. I started using Pillow to understand what was going on. I’m bipolar 2 and so l struggle with getting enough sleep.
