Class of 2021 top scholars in southern Maine - Portland Press Herald - pressherald.com - pressherald.com

Jordan Peterson and Malcolm Gladwell both have new books out, called, respectively, Beyond Order: 12 More Rules of Life, and The Bomber Mafia: A Story Set in War. Both of the Canadian authors' new books have been getting meh reviews. A few years ago everyone had an opinion of their previous books.

Gladwell's Talking to Strangers was savaged by some critics, beloved by others. His bestsellers are polarising. They either pronounce he is a master of looking at things differently and delivering this truth in an easy and accessible way. Or they think he peddles soft pop pseudoscience in an easy and accessible way, making it seem as if it is new and reliable. A New York Times reviewer pulled this apart and concluded that his success lies in sceptics becoming believers: "It's exactly what Mr Gladwell's towering success - his five bestselling books, his six-figure speaking fees, his top-rated podcast - rests on: the moment when the sceptic starts to think that maybe we're wrong about everything and maybe, just maybe, this Mr Gladwell guy is onto something." But Gladwell's The Bomber Mafia is different to his other books. There's hardly any tipping point. It began as one of his "Revisionist History" podcasts in which he examines s a moment from the past, seeking the overlooked and the misunderstood. In The Bomber Mafia he explores morality and war when it comes to precision bombing in World War 2. Gladwell, as per usual, is a riveting storyteller, but this is not an explosive or controversial work.

Peterson, on the other hand, has done nothing new. It's a follow-up to his 12 Rules of Life, so maybe he was stretching it to come up with another absolute 12 rules. He is still spewing his same trite traditionalist ideology that moms and their sons gobbled up as the new way forward for men, but this time it's watered down. Maybe because he had somewhat of a breakdown after the success of his first book. As the Guardian wrote, "Peterson seemed to relish the conflict, going on tour, producing a podcast, a YouTube channel and appearing on combative TV interviews, inspiring his supporters and provoking his enemies. But then stories emerged of his withdrawal from the frontline of the culture wars. In the 'Overture' of Beyond Order, the follow-up to 12 Rules for Life, he details an extraordinary story of physical and psychological collapse, as an autoimmune response to something he ate led to a drastic change in diet and a dependence on the sedative benzodiazepine. He also suffered extreme anxiety, severe depression, insomnia, double pneumonia, his wife underwent surgery for cancer, and at one point he was put into an induced coma in a Moscow hospital in an unsuccessful attempt to free him from drugs. It's hard to resist the conclusion that 12 Rules for Life was a self-help book that left its author in exactly the kind of hopeless state to which it promised to be an antidote."

Liberal food snobbery, such as Mike Bloombergs campaign billboard reading Trump eats burned steak, or tweets mocking Republicans lack of knowledge of craft beer haute cuisine also allow the Right to craft this populist image. In the words of the Right, a huge side of meat with ketchup is owning the libs, these imagined, eco-conscious, pretentious liberals who probably order steak point.

From castigating 'soy boys' to Jordan Petersons carnivorism, meat means masculinity for the Right. Even those who dont yearn for a white nation might associate veganism with women or celebrate meat as food that builds muscular strong men. Such shared ideologies make this an important area for the normalization of far-Right politics.

Perhaps the best example is the meat-heavy Paleo diet. The author of The Paleo Manifesto, John Durant, is a Trump supporter who describes himself as an unfiltered contrarian, but his diet had between one and three million users in 2013. Pioneered in 1975 by Walter Voegtlin, since disavowed by modern Paleo leaders for his white supremacist, eugenicist, and generally unpalatable politics, this diet celebrates a natural, white, premodern utopia.

This vision of traditional utopia is also maintained by the tradwives, the women in their 20s and 30s who celebrate traditional femininity and actively promote submission to men, homemaking and having large families. Researcher Annie Kelly notes that this vision of nostalgic femininity is linked to white supremacy. Central to the womens production of anti-feminist and white nationalist nostalgia are ideas of bodily and racial purity and fertility, such as home cooking as a performance of traditional lifestyles and gender roles.

For some a traditional utopia reflects an interest in wellness; a farm-to-table cuisine leading to a natural, healthy lifestyle, as well as a pure, fertile body and a slender figure. Often celebrating traditional Western foods or preparing labor-intensive meals that would be impossible for working women, tradwives link wellness to whiteness and anti-feminism. I grew up with this ideology, from a cookbook called Nourishing Traditions, which gave pickled beet and fermented cod recipes, and saw modernity and processed food as polluting to the body and mind and challenged politically correct nutrition.

Others celebrate traditional American food and traditional gender with a 1950s flair and a pearl necklace. If grilling is male, baking is feminine. Perhaps the only thing more feminine would be the dinner a tradwife proudly cooks from anti-feminist activist Phyllis Schlaflys cookbook, Faithfully, Phyllis: In the kitchen.

Cooking itself is often a metonym for the traditional female role, her place in the kitchen. Cooking for and serving your man becomes an important image of submission and femininity, which honors and elevates white masculinity.

Tradwives use pies and pearls to translate far-Right politics into the language of home and family. Although their tastes are different, mainstream Republican politicians and tradwives use food in very similar ways, using hamburgers and steaks to translate the Green New Deal into a front in a war on meat, men and white suburban homes.

With summer on the horizon, the 2021 NFL season will be here before you know it. And now that we've got full 17-game schedules available to us, what better way to ring in the biggest year in league history than by running through each and every matchup on the docket? Here, we're projecting the New Orleans Saints' schedule, game by game, with win totals for every opponent. Can Jameis Winston take a firm handle on Drew Brees' old job? Will Sean Payton's playoff streak continue? Let's find out:

Note: Over/Under win totals for every opponent courtesy of William Hill Sportsbook.

Need a quick betting primer on your favorite NFL team for the 2021 season? Here are links to schedule breakdowns for all 32 clubs.

Line: Saints -1.5Opponent win total: O/U N/A

Aaron Rodgers makes his long-awaited 2021 debut, having coaxed Green Bay into a new deal and claiming control of his future with the Packers. And he has his way throwing against a Saints secondary transitioning at cornerback.

Prediction: Saints lose 29-23Projected record:0-1

Opponent win total:O/U 7.5

In a battle of former first-round reclamation projects, Winston outshines Sam Darnold on the road, thanks in large part due to Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas working Carolina's young defensive backfield early and often.

Prediction: Saints win 27-19Projected record:1-1

Want inside access into the NFL from an active player and conversations with prominent guests?Download and subscribeto All Things Covered with Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden as the duo share their thoughts on the Vikings 2021 schedule.

Opponent win total:O/U 9

Once perennial Super Bowl contenders, both the Saints and Patriots stumble out of the gate, with Winston and Cam Newton trading turnovers. Bill Belichick comes prepared, though, confusing Jameis down the stretch with a master defensive plan.

Prediction:Saints lose 26-24Projected record:1-2

Opponent win total:O/U 7

Saquon Barkley and Kenny Golladay provide New York with some unexpectedly big pop, but the Saints' front seven finally steps up to rattle Daniel Jones. Winston, meanwhile, leans on a big rushing day from Kamara and Latavius Murray.

Prediction: Saints win 27-22Projected record:2-2

Opponent win total:O/U 8

Ryan Fitzpatrick nearly plays spoiler here, making some gutsy throws in crunch time and finding Terry McLaurin for a couple of scores. But he ultimately gets a tad aggressive, leading to a game-changing Malcolm Jenkins pick. New Orleans barely takes it.

Prediction: Saints win 23-21 Projected record:3-2

Opponent win total:O/U 10

The bye week helps the Saints rest up, but Payton's bold move to surprise Seattle with a Taysom Hill start backfires. Russell Wilson and Co. coast to an early lead on DK Metcalf dominance, and the Seahawks run the ball to control the clock from there.Prediction: Saints lose 28-20Projected record:3-3

Opponent win total:O/U 11.5

Payton embraces the challenge, and Winston initially goes blow for blow with Tom Brady, connecting on several deep balls. Then Tampa Bay's pass rush shows up, and things flip in a hurry. Brady rolls with short, efficient strikes to move the chains.

Prediction: Saints lose 31-25Projected record:3-4

Opponent win total:O/U 7.5

With no Julio Jones, Atlanta isn't nearly as scary rolling into town, even with Matt Ryan playing fairly well under new coach Arthur Smith. Winston, meanwhile, posts season-high numbers airing it out on Atlanta's spotty secondary.

Prediction: Saints win 34-24Projected record:4-4

Opponent win total:O/U 9.5

Facing an early assault from a surprisingly aggressive Titans pass rush, Winston is forced to leave early, so Payton turns to Hill and rookie Ian Book. An overly conservative approach keeps them in the game but isn't enough.

Prediction: Saints lose 24-16Projected record:4-5

Opponent win total:O/U 7

Jalen Hurts gives New Orleans a run for its money a year after upsetting them in Philly, but the Eagles' young pieces at corner and linebacker can't quite keep up with Kamara and Thomas down the stretch. Payton gets his revenge.Prediction: Saints win 28-22Projected record:5-5

Opponent win total:O/U 10.5

Saints fans show up in raucous droves on a short week at home, and New Orleans' defense brings extra energy to face Josh Allen. In the end, though, Buffalo is just too darn explosive, with Stefon Diggs going off and Winston forced to play from behind.

Prediction:Saints lose 29-21Projected record:5-6

Opponent win total:O/U 9.5

On paper, Dallas enters with the clear advantage, bringing elite weapons to town. But Prescott's run support is limited, and Cameron Jordan wreaks havoc up front, clearing the way for Winston to lead maybe his team's most promising win thus far.

Prediction: Saints win 34-26Projected record:6-6

Opponent win total:O/U 6

Zach Wilson is well into his rookie year by this point, but he's still working to be a rhythm QB rather than totally off-script playmaker. The Saints' "D" capitalizes on his tendency to flee the pocket, owning the clock to get over .500 for the first time since Week 5.

Prediction: Saints win 26-14Projected record:7-6

Opponent win total:O/U 11.5

Winston returns to Tampa Bay for a second shot at upending Brady and the reigning champs. But Bruce Arians refuses to let it happen. Ronald Jones, Leonard Fournette and Giovani Bernard all get a steady dose against New Orleans' young LBs.Prediction: Saints lose 29-24Projected record: 7-7

Opponent win total:O/U 9

Miami brings some juice to the Superdome, as Jaylen Waddle and Will Fuller find big gains on gadget plays. More troubling for New Orleans: Brian Flores' defense does enough to bait Winston into a couple of key interceptions.

Prediction:Saints lose 26-19Projected record: 7-8

Opponent win total:O/U 7.5

Carolina is feisty trying to play spoiler despite Darnold's turnover spree ruining the Panthers' playoff hopes, with D.J. Moore and Christian McCaffrey each racking up numbers. But Payton's vets step up at home to keep New Orleans alive.

Prediction: Saints win 31-23Projected record:8-8

Opponent win total:O/U 7.5

Atlanta plays host looking to sneak into the postseason to close an uneven debut season for Arthur Smith, but once again, the Falcons defense just can't hold up. Winston plays hero by posting another big day through the air.

Prediction: Saints win 35-28Projected record:9-8
