, that New York was the main port of entry for a polyglot mix of immigrants, either passing through or there to stay. The waterfront and the jumble of streets behind it bubbled to the sound of different accents and languages, as cartmen, peddlers and birds of passage shouted, warned, cursed and called out in English, Dutch, French and German. To the linguistic babel was added a striking ethnic diversity, including Irish, Jews and African Americans: all of this made New York, already perhaps, one of the most cosmopolitan cities on earth.
Visitors to all three cities were also struck by their tallest structures—their churches. Even diminutive New York had 22 spires puncturing the sky, representing an impressive array of denominations. Catholic Paris had even more, its skyline bristling with the spires, towers and domes of some 200 churches belonging to its parishes, monasteries and convents. The London skyline, too, was pierced by the steeples of its 140 parish churches, but dominating was the soaring charcoal-grey dome of Saint Paul's Cathedral in the City, while the towers of Westminster Abbey and Southwark Cathedral also contended for attention. Some of these churches had symbolic importance for Londoners, who took great pride and comfort from their parish bells, placing bets as to how far their chimes could be heard. The existence of so many ecclesiastic buildings would prove important to the urban experience in both the American and the French Revolutions, as we shall see. For now, the prevalence of churches on the urban landscape meant that the pealing of their bells was one of the prevalent noises, marking the passage of time, calling the faithful to worship and ringing out in times of alarm.
Yet this regular tolling was, in these teeming cities, drowned out by the noise of the crush of life in the streets, an underlying cacophony of rumbling carriage wheels, the clopping of horses' hooves across paving stones, the shouts of drivers and the cries of street vendors selling their wares. Louis-Sébastien Mercier wrote of Paris in the 1780s that 'the water-carrier, the sellers of old hats, of ironware, of rabbit skins, the woman selling fish, all sing about their merchandise in a high and penetrating fashion. All these discordant cries form a chorus which one cannot imagine unless one has actually heard it'. London was so busy that approaching travellers heard all the noises together as a constant distant roar. A German visitor, Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, described a London street in the evening: 'chaise after chaise, coach after coach, cart after cart. Through all this din and clamour, and the noise of thousands of tongues and feet, you hear the bells from the church-steeples, postmen's bells, the street-organs, fiddles and tambourines of itinerant musicians, and the cries of the vendors of hot and cold food at the street corners'. Even in New York, residents complained of the clutter of carts, carriages and goods in some neighbourhoods and of the raucous noise of stall holders competing with 'much noise and strife... boisterous conversations and... unpleasant disputes'.
Along with the crush of people and the accompanying aural experience, residents and visitors alike remarked on the smells that enveloped the cities. 'You inquire of me how I like Paris', Abigail Adams wrote to her niece shortly after arriving in August 1784. 'Why, tht. One thing, I know, and that is that I have smelt it.... It is the very dirtiest place I ever saw'. London, particularly the manufacturing dockside East End, hung with the smoke from tens of thousands of hearths and the sickly sweet smell of the breweries that blended with the fumes from the city's tanneries, dyers, blacksmiths and potters' kilns. French traveller and historian Pierre-Jean Grosley complained in the mid-1760s that 'this smoke forms a cloud which envelops London like a mantle; a cloud which... suffers the sun to break out only now and then, which casual appearance procures the Londoners a few of what they call _glorious days_ '. In the early 1780s, French writer, and future revolutionary, Jacques-Pierre Brissot de Warville commented on 'that thick fog, so burning, so filthy, in which part of each day is enveloped' in London. New York was probably less pungent: smaller, cleared by the breeze from the ocean, it nonetheless had certain districts, particularly on its northern outskirts, that had their share of industrial and effluvial stench, not least the slums around the so-called Freshwater or Collect Pond that lay just beyond the urbanised part of Manhattan. Yet for all the pungency, the olfactory experience of walking down the street of an early modern city might also be one of assault by kinder smells—of the flowers, herbs, fruits and vegetables piled on their vendors' stalls; of warm bread from the ovens of local bakeries; of hot coffee being delivered in great urns from the cafés (in Paris); and (in New York) of the sea.
The crush of people, the transaction of business in the street, the noise and the smells stemmed from the fact that all three cities were 'walking cities'—places where, in the absence of the mass mechanised public transport that came later, people mostly went about on foot between home, work, shopping and leisure. Hackney cabs—horse-drawn carriages for hire—existed in Paris and London, but they were expensive, and only the very rich few could afford their own coaches or to stable and maintain a horse. High rents also meant that people made more use of the space that they had, cramming larger families into apartments, making use of the street outside. So much life—selling, buying, meeting, discussing, playing, even lovemaking (or, more crudely, rutting)—was transacted in the streets of these crowded cities that there were very close bonds of community in some neighbourhoods, particularly in Paris, where people from a cross-section of social backgrounds sometimes lived not just near each other, but sometimes—almost literally—one on top of the other.
In Paris the rich, the middling and the poor still lived close together in many central districts, literally stratified according to the floor upon which they lived. Usually, the ground level and courtyard of a Parisian house would be occupied by workshops or retailers. The first storey, or sometimes the second, since it was farther removed from the noise of the street but not too far to climb, was taken over by the well-appointed apartment of a noble or wealthy bourgeois; the upper storeys held the lodgings of the artisan and his family; and the higher up one went, the poorer the accommodations and the occupants—journeymen, apprentices, labourers, servants—until one reached the leaky, dank garrets of the poorest migrant workers and paupers. By the time of the American Revolution, distinct neighbourhoods differing in wealth and poverty were emerging in New York, but in this compact city the streets inhabited by the rich were never far from those of the working population. What this meant was that, in both cities, the better off had daily, or near-daily, contact with their poorer neighbours. This familiaritespair: in Paris there are many documented cases of the elderly, the infirm and the unemployed being given small gifts of food, money, linen and clothing by their neighbours, helping them keep body and soul together. People of different social backgrounds, but from the same street or quarter, passed by each other regularly, chatted, did business and socialised, all of which may have forged a sense of solidarity that carried weight in the political upheavals to come.
It was perhaps no coincidence that in the one city of our three that did not experience a revolution in this period, London, the segregation of neighbourhoods along varying degrees of wealth and poverty, was the most advanced. In truth, both Paris and London saw the development of wealthy districts swelling with aristocratic mansions and elegant town houses in the West of the metropolis. In both Paris and London, the rich and the fashionable fled the noise, clutter and filth of the old districts and moved westwards, into the prevailing wind, increasingly leaving the East and the centre to the middling sort, the artisans and labourers. In Paris metropolitan nobles were abandoning


the Kashmir issue
Kashmir... I've always wanted to go! My parents took a trip about 22 years ago and Mom still tells me how beautiful it was. This blog post will turn a lot of people against me, perhaps even my own father. But, it has to be said. And if approached with an open mind, it might, at the very least, open your eyes.
For many Indians, Kashmir is like the jewel in the crown of India. They are not entirely sure why but it is. It could be because atleast two governments want to claim it as their own. It could be because its a beautiful region, so they've heard. In actuality, Kashmir has lost most of its beauty. That tends to happen when bloodshed and protests take place regularly. For most Indians, it is simply a matter of pride. They have no real, vested interest in the region. It is about one-upping our so-called "enemies." And the thought of surrendering Kashmir to Pakistan results in outrage. They say we shouldn't have to give anything to the Pakistanis, they chose to leave afterall. That may be true and in any case, you are entitled to your opinion. The question I have is, what about the people of Kashmir? Does their opinion matter? Will their voices ever be heard?
It is a fact that since the insurgency in 1989, around 80,000 residents of Kashmir have died. These are Indian citizens. The Indian government spends a sickening amount of money maintaining our Army's presence there. However, it is unclear whether our Army is protecting Kashmiris from Pakistan or attacking protesters. Ever since the 26/11 Mumbai attacks press coverage showed Indian commandos charging into the Taj Hotel, people all over India have come to admire them. Do the children in Bangalore know that the soldiers they are idolizing shoot their Kashmiri brothers in the head mercilessly?
Indians all over the world pride themselves oWhen anyone claims India is inferior to China, we immediately hit back with our democratic freedom. Yes, we enjoy liberties that the Chinese don't. What, then, do you say about the fact that these same liberties are not being extended to the people of Kashmir? If a political group in Mumbai can protest petrol prices and shut down the entire city, why then can't the people of Kashmir speak out against that which they believe is unfair? Why is our government silencing their own subjects?
On the world stage, India obnoxiously denies the fact that Kashmiris do not want to be part of India. No one disputes this because India is an economic superpower with nuclear weapons. The US needs India and Pakistan both as allies. In a global perspective, Kashmir is a timebomb waiting to go off. Every time there's any regional or political unrest between India and Pakistan, the world prays that we don't reach for our nukes. It is irrelevant if the insurgency is backed by Pakistan. What deserves attention is that the people we are fighting to call our own don't want to be one of us. I'm not proposing that we hand over the "deed of Kashmir" to Pakistan. In the same breath, I am not suggesting that we let Kashmir be an independent state. I am not learned on politics and frankly, I don't know if that is even feasible. All I'm saying is that we should listen to the people of Kashmir. The very essence of our young country would be destroyed if we cannot grant our citizens the right to voice their concerns.
I have said many times that I would never step foot in China. One of my problems with the Chinese government is the Tibet issue.Tibetans are not allowed to speak of the Dalai Lama because under Chinese law, it is illegal to utter his name. He is currently in exile and lives in India in an area nicknamed "Little Lhasa." Tset up "The Government of Tibet in Exile" in Dharamsala. There are about 80,000 Tibetan refugees that live there. The people living in Tibet want more than anything to be rid of the Chinese and live freely again. When we can show so much compassion to our Asian neighbors who are being oppressed by their invaders, why are we being so stubborn about Kashmir? I am aware that India did not invade Kashmir. The region is technically on Indian soil. However, Pakistan and Bangladesh were also technically Indian soil about 63 years ago. When they wanted to go, they went. If this is about land, why are we not fighting to add Lahore back to our territory lines?
I hear many Indians rant about how Kashmir is ours and Pakistan "needs to back off." I defy all of them to go spend 6 months in Kashmir. If you are so hell-bent on the issue, why don't you go live there? Any sane person would not come back the same after seeing firsthand the pain of the Kashmiris. The quality of life in Kashmir is despicable. Curfews last for months at a time. Schools are closed and courts aren't in session. Exams are postponed which further delays graduation. Recently, an 18-year old boy was shot in the legs by an Indian solider. Why? Because he tried to attend the funeral of a protester. I, for one, would be too ashamed to face a Kashmiri. It is very easy for me to shout about India's right to Kashmir from my very comfortable life in America. Same goes for the people in Hyderabad, Mumbai and Delhi who whine incessantly about the traffic. Just imagine that your sister falls ill and needs to get to a hospital. You call for an ambulance and before it gets there, your sister dies. Why didn't the ambulance come even though the roads are empty? Because the Indian Army stopped the ambulance and tore up the driver's curfew pass. This is an incident that happened this summer in Kashmir.
The India we know is very different from the India that Kashmir knows. To them, India is the government sending military officers to control their movements. India is the government ignoring their angst while glorifying her IT millionaires. To me India symbolizes home, family, traditions, and an immense source of pride. But when our government cannot treat ALL of her citizens equally, then it should not be given the privilege to rule them. What is happening today to a Kashmiri can very well happen tomorrow to a Tamilian. So to me, Kashmir is not the jewel in India's crown. Kashmir is a scar on India's face. Indians shouldn't scream ignorantly about Kashmir; we should instead demand that our fellow citizens be heard. The true spirit of democracy lies in the fact that the rights of the minority should not be voted on by the majority. If not for our fellow countrymen, do it for the sake of our country's reputation. Because when the history books are written, someone somewhere will realize that India did not stand by her people.

//Awesome!! This is what I always thought! All through our Social Studies books, India boasts of being a secular democracy, except its very difficult to find even a few Kashmiris who think they're Indians in the true sense of it. We might be the biggest democracy, but a lot of us still think small. Govt is slowly turning Kashmir and some North-east regions into national disgraces.
This wonderful piece has to be one of the best-written things I've ever read on the Kashmir issue. How I wish more ppl thought like this! Most honest example of an accurately observed social issue. Kudos Meghana !
Archana Paladugu September 17, 2010 at 2:56 PM
i totally concur with you in this respect. About countries letting it go part. I was reading this article last week about a story of a grave digger in Kashmir. The Indian Army soldiers come down in trucks by the night and give him work to do. And only years later did he realize, that the people he had burried were a mixture of political criminals, Pakistanis and innocent civilians. There is no proper system that keeps track of who is dead, and how they are killed. So the army crimes are being buried in the night. One day, his own nephew went missing and he goes on a search. But the time he gets back to work, he realizes that someone else had buried a few new bodies in the site, and sees the kid in there. He lives in regret for all the people who may have been innocent, who were buried by him with the victims family might still be hoping/searching/....
If Kashimiri people want to be a part of Pakistan, they should. And we should let go. This is although a very different issue from Telangana where an unnecessary divide has been created and is being promoted.
When ever i read 'jewel crow' and some beautifully coined words like that, i can help feel we care for jewels more than people. We want to keep it like an asset. I really liked your article.

Meghana, I'm so glad that I am on this page, thanks to our mutual admiration for Sushmita Sen :)! I would anyday have you over to my home to chat over a cup of tea/coffee - whichever you prefer :)!
What I take away from this post is your keen sense of justice, and for that I salute your parents.
I dont delve into politics because I firmly believe it can never be the solution to our problems.
Ask me what I think the solution is and I have a whole lot we could chat about but that could take hours and hours ;)!
Continue to question, to investigating, your journey can only bring you closer to your quest :)!

Nac's Hideout


Tennessee Titans coach Mike Munchak tried to put rumors that he's considering a move to Penn State to rest on Wednesday when he told reporters he's not interested in moving to Happy Valley. As ESPN's Joe Schad reports, however, there's still a possibility he could replace Joe Paterno as Nittany Lions' head coaching.
Munchak has repeatedly stated he would remain at Tennessee, but a source close to him said Munchak is struggling with the concept that he can "fix and make right" his alma mater.
In another report, StateCollege.com's Mike Poorman says Munchak did had interest in moving, despite his denial.
Despite protestations and disclaimers to the contrary, the Tennessee Titans’ current head coach was a legitimate candidate to be the Nittany Lions’ next head coach. Yes, he issued a strong "not interested" statement. But believe me, there was interest.
In fact, say three sources, there was interest to the point that Munchak, a Nittany Lion standout offensive guard in 1979 and ’81, had already reached out to a few former PSU players to ascertain their interest in joining the Penn State staff, should he be hired.

Winter Helipad Safety Tips
Here are 10 quick tips on how to keep your helipad in SAFE shape this winter:
1. Use only UREA or a chemical product that claims no corrosive properties or hazards to the environment, such as the ice-melting agents Sodium Acetate or Potassium Acetate.
4. Helipad warning/safety signs should be cleared of snow and remain visible.
9. Helicopters develop rotor was that typically exceeds 75-100 mph. Dangers include serious wind chill and projectiles created by any loose snow or ice.
**Consider helipad painting schemes that help melt ice and snow. A red background is recommended. See FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 150-5390-2BPara 409b. (2) and fig 4-10b**

Even if the connection does not feel warm, an inspection of the cord and its connections
Ambulance manufacturers began using products for shoreline connections in the early 1970s. This equipment was equivalent to standard RV hardware that would accommodate the load of a tricklecharging for system batteries, a suction device and a hand-held radio. This work load would pull less than 500 watts and a 15-amp residential cord could handle the demand easily. Shorelines are connected to many things today that are considered "parasitic loads."
Always examine shoreline cords at both ends and the shoreline receptacles on both ambulances and aircraft. A safe cord should be firmly attached to its plugs on both ends. If you find cutting of the outer and inner jackets exposing bare copper, remove the cords from service immediately and notify the base lead. Crews must be familiar with the breaker panel in their ambulance and should know where it is located and how to reset the panel. It should contain at least a 110-volt circuit breaker, which looks like a

Princess Mary, in her position as absolute and independent arbiter of her own fate and guardian and instructor of her nephew, was the first to be called back to life from that realm of sorrow in which she had dwelt for the first fortnight. She received letters from her relations to which she had to reply; the room in which little Nicholas had been put was damp and he began to cough; Alpatych came to Yaroslavl with reports on the state of their affairs and with advice and suggestions that they should return to Moscow to the house on the Vozdvizhenka Street, which had remained uninjured and needed only slight repairs. Life did not stand still and it was necessary to live. Hard as it was for Princess Mary to emerge from the realm of secluded contemplation in which she had lived till then, and sorry and almost ashamed as she felt to leave Natasha alone, yet the cares of life demanded her attention and she involuntarily yielded to them.

Since their marriage Natasha and her husband had lived in Moscow, in Petersburg, on their estate near Moscow, or with her mother, that is to say, in Nicholas' house. The young Countess Bezukhova was not often seen in society, and those who met her there were not pleased with her and found her neither attractive nor amiable. Not that Natasha liked solitude- she did not know whether she liked it or not, she even thought that she did not- but with her pregnancies, her confinements, the nursing of her children, and sharing every moment of her husband's life, she had demands on her time which could be satisfied only by renouncing society. All who had known Natasha before her marriage wondered at the change in her as at something extraordinary. Only the old countess with her maternal instinct had realized that all Natasha's outbursts had been due to her need of children and a husband- as she herself had once exclaimed at Otradnoe not so much in fun as in earnest- and her mother was now surprised at the surprise expressed by those who had never understood Natasha, and she kept saying that she had always known that Natasha would make an exemplary wife and mother..  Frowning with vexation at the effort necessary to divest himself of his coat and trousers, the prince undressed, sat down heavily on the bed, and appeared to be meditating as he looked contemptuously at his withered yellow legs. He was not meditating, but only deferring the moment of making the effort to lift those legs up and turn over on the bed. "Ugh, how hard it is! Oh, that this toil might end and you would release me!" thought he. Pressing his lips together he made that effort for the twenty-thousandth time and lay down. But hardly had he done so before he felt the bed rocking backwards and forwards beneath him as if it were breathing heavily and jolting. This happened to him almost every night. He opened his eyes as they were closing.,  "Crazy?" repeated Natasha.,  "Let me be!... What is it to me?... I shall die!" she muttered, wrenching herself from Marya Dmitrievna's hands with a vicious effort and sinking down again into her former position....  When, for instance, we say that Napoleon ordered armies to go to war, we combine in one simultaneous expression a whole series of consecutive commands dependent one on another. Napoleon could not have commanded an invasion of Russia and never did so. Today he ordered such and such papers to be written to Vienna, to Berlin, and to Petersburg; tomorrow such and such decrees and orders to the army, the fleet, the commissariat, and so on and so on- millions of commands, which formed a whole series corresponding to a series of events which brought the French armies into Russia.,!
Like all men who have grown up in society, Prince Andrew liked meeting someone there not of the conventional society stamp. And such was Natasha, with her surprise, her delight, her shyness, and even her mistakes in speaking French. With her he behaved with special care and tenderness, sitting beside her and talking of the simplest and most unimportant matters; he admired her shy grace. In the middle of the cotillion, having completed one of the figures, Natasha, still out of breath, was returning to her seat when another dancer chose her. She was tired and panting and evidently thought of declining, but immediately put her hand gaily on the man's shoulder, smiling at Prince Andrew.!  Boris was thus the first to learn the news that the French army had crossed the Niemen and, thanks to this, was able to show certain important personages that much that was concealed from others was usually known to him, and by this means he rose higher in their estimation. ,  Nicholas, though he had never seen Ilagin, with his usual absence of moderation in judgment, hated him cordially from reports of his arbitrariness and violence, and regarded him as his bitterest foe. He rode in angry agitation toward him, firmly grasping his whip and fully prepared to take the most resolute and desperate steps to punish his enemy.;  As generally happens, Pierre did not feel the full effects of the physical privation and strain he had suffered as prisoner until after they were over. After his liberation he reached Orel, and on the third day there, when preparing to go to Kiev, he fell ill and was laid up for three months. He had what the doctors termed "bilious fever." But despite the fact that the doctors treated him, bled him, and gave him medicines to drink, he recovered.;!  Boris kissed Natasha's hand and said that he was astonished at the change in her.,  "Hallo, mate! Never again? Gave you a twist?" the Cossacks would banter him. And Tikhon, purposely writhing and making faces, pretended to be angry and swore at the French with the funniest curses. The only effect of this incident on Tikhon was that after being wounded he seldom brought in prisoners.,Bear Catholic? Pope shit in the woods?...
,  That convict was a man of terrible strength.,  If throughout his reign Napoleon gave commands concerning an invasion of England and expended on no other undertaking so much time and effort, and yet during his whole reign never once attempted to execute that design but undertook an expedition into Russia, with which country he considered it desirable to be in alliance (a conviction he repeatedly expressed)- this came about because his commands did not correspond to the course of events in the first case, but did so correspond in the latter..  Montparnasse rose, but the goodman held him fast. Montparnasse's attitude was the humiliated and furious attitude of the wolf who has been caught by a sheep.,  One evening Jean Valjean found difficulty in raising himself on his elbow; he felt of his wrist and could not find his pulse; his breath was short and halted at times; he recognized the fact that he was weaker than he had ever been before.,?

"A wonderful talent!" he said to Prince Andrew, and Magnitski immediately assumed a pose and began reciting some humorous verses in French which he had composed about various well-known Petersburg people. He was interrupted several times by applause. When the verses were finished Prince Andrew went up to Speranski and took his leave..  "It won't be just yet- someday.

Pierre had long been familiar with that story. Karataev had told it to him alone some half-dozen times and always with a specially joyful emotion. But well as he knew it, Pierre now listened to that tale as to something new, and the quiet rapture Karataev evidently felt as he told it communicated itself also to Pierre. The story was of an old merchant who lived a good and God-fearing life with his family, and who went once to the Nizhni fair with a companion- a rich merchant..  In order to play the part of a faithful historian, we ought even to add that, among the curiosities displayed in the square, there was a menagerie, in which frightful clowns, clad in rags and coming no one knew whence, exhibited to the peasants of Montfermeil in 1823 one of those horrible Brazilian vultures, such as our Royal Museum did not possess until 1845, and which have a tricolored cockade for an eye.

Jean Valjean was undergoing a new birth; his happiness was reviving in these ineffable rays; the Luxembourg, the prowling young stranger, Cosette's coldness,--all these clouds upon his soul were growing dim. He had reached the point where he said to himself:,  The carriage in which sat Lafayette advanced to them, their ranks opened and allowed it to pass, and then closed behind it....  Besides the plunderers, very various people, some drawn by curiosity, some by official duties, some by self-interest- house owners, clergy, officials of all kinds, tradesmen, artisans, and peasants- streamed into Moscow as blood flows to the heart....

But as soon as he tried to continue the conversation he had begun with Princess Mary he again glanced at Natasha, and a still-deeper flush suffused his face and a still-stronger agitation of mingled joy and fear seized his soul. He became confused in his speech and stopped in the middle of what he was saying.,  She continued:--.
,,  The street was narrow and the gutter broad, the pedestrian there walked on a pavement that was always wet, skirting little stalls resembling cellars, big posts encircled with iron hoops, excessive heaps of refuse, and gates armed with enormous, century-old gratings.,  Natasha entered with a softened and agitated expression of face and sat down looking silently at Pierre. As soon as she entered, Pierre's features, which had been gloomy, suddenly lighted up, and while still searching for the papers he glanced at her several times.,  After the encounter at Vyazma, where Kutuzov had been unable to hold back his troops in their anxiety to overwhelm and cut off the enemy and so on, the farther movement of the fleeing French, and of the Russians who pursued them, continued as far as Krasnoe without a battle. The flight was so rapid that the Russian army pursuing the French could not keep up with them; cavalry and artillery horses broke down, and the information received of the movements of the French was never reliable.,  When Kutuzov came out of the study and with lowered head was crossing the ballroom with his heavy waddling gait, he was arrested by someone's voice saying:,  Mademoiselle George, with her bare, fat, dimpled arms, and a red shawl draped over one shoulder, came into the space left vacant for her, and assumed an unnatural pose. Enthusiastic whispering was audible..  "No, sir; it is Christmas."...
Twenty months had barely elapsed since the Revolution of July, the year 1832 had opened with an aspect of something impending and threatening..  And Pierre's soul was dimly but joyfully filled not by the story itself but by its mysterious significance: by the rapturous joy that lit up Karataev's face as he told it, and the mystic significance of that joy.,  "Tproo! Get out of the way! Hi!... Tproo!..." The shouting of Balaga and of the sturdy young fellow seated on the box was all that could be heard.

But timing of the suit is the principal. Timing, I say, not only in respect of the person that should grant it, but in respect of those which are like to cross it Let a man, in the choice of his mean, rather choose the fittest mean, man the greatest mean: and rather them, that deal in certain things, than those that are general. The reparation of a denial is sometimes equal to the first grant; if a man show himself neither dejected, nor discontented. Imqwsmpetas, utaeqwmferas; is a good rule, where a man haul strength of favour: but otherwise, a man were better rise in his suit; for he that would have ventured at first to have lost the suitor, will not in the conclusion lose both the suitor, and his own former favour. Nothing is thought so basic a request, to a great person, as his letter; and yet, if it be not in a good cause, it is so much out of his reputation. There are no worse instruments, than these general contrivers of suits; for they are but a kind of poison and infection to public proceedings., ,  She thought she was gazing at paradise.,  Pierre too when she had gone almost ran into the anteroom, restraining tears of tenderness and joy that choked him, and without finding the sleeves of his fur cloak threw it on and got into his sleigh..
,  Thenardier lighted his pipe, and replied between two puffs:--,  Nevertheless, horrors, when grouped together, always end by evolving a result; all additions of wretched men give a sum total, each chain exhaled a common soul, and each dray-load had its own physiognomy.,  Four days before, sentinels of the Preobrazhensk regiment had stood in front of the house to which Balashev was conducted, and now two French grenadiers stood there in blue uniforms unfastened in front and with shaggy caps on their heads, and an escort of hussars and Uhlans and a brilliant suite of aides-de-camp, pages, and generals, who were waiting for Napoleon to come out, were standing at the porch, round his saddle horse and his Mameluke, Rustan. Napoleon received Balashev in the very house in Vilna from which Alexander had dispatched him on his mission. ,  "I know what you mean.,  Precipices are to be distinguished there. The social masses, the very assizes of civilization, the solid group of superposed and adhering interests, the century-old profiles of the ancient French formation, appear and disappear in them every instant, athwart the storm clouds of systems, of passions, and of theories. These appearances and disappearances have been designated as movement and resistance..  But since it is all over, how comes it that the hall is still lighted?",  "Ah, it's you!" said Pierre with a preoccupied, dissatisfied air. "And I, you see, am hard at it."

There's a bitter war taking place right now as you read this nonsense. Out there in the homes of ordinary folk like me and maybe you. A long running battle that has seen many casualties, many names called and even a stick, a really big stick. For years now there has been absolutely no room to sit on the fence and if there was it would only result in a case of splintered arse.
Its either PS3 or Xbox 360. (and I bet even now there are readers who are saying Xbox should come first). The two gaming giants have been going head to head since the infant years of the original Xbox and Playstation. I started with the big old white Playstation (1) mainly on the back of the then amazing Destruction Derby. This was a huge step in home gaming, and the price showed it, but we bit the bullet and emptied our piggy banks to bask in the new gen' greatness. This was worlds apart from the likes of the SNES or Megadrive or even the amazing Atari 2600 (baby) which I still have minus the power and TV connection. From that point I set up tent in the Playstation camp.
In those early days a Playstation could be 'cracked' or 'chipped' very easy and most just involved the comical 'hot swap'. If you did this you could get games for about £5, but I never partook in this non-parrot boat-less piracy, and still managed to build a good library. For many years I went through the Playstation's. The 1st (big white), 2nd (little white), Playstation 2 (big black) and finally Playstation 2 (little black). I loved the Playstation 2 and had tons of games, some good, some bad, and some that carried the label 'what the hell was I thinking' and a few carrying the label 'what the hell was the game maker thinking.' (Backyard wrestling I'm looking at you).
After many years of Sony I gave in to the Xbox and brought a bog standard 360 telling the women in the shop, who I thought was a little bit pushy (I never did get on with the staff in Game) 'that I wouldn't go online'. Not a long time after I was talked into buying a used copy of Call of Duty: Modern warfare and 'jacking in' and from then on my Thursday day off from work became game day. Armed with my headset and a few friends on list, it was shouting, laughing and shooting fun and the DucK clan was born (worst game clan ever created and proud of it). But as with everything like that it was going to end ...and it did with the horrible red ring of death. A fault with over heating and some screw thing, I don’t know the technical side and don’t care, as far as I was concerned 'game box no play no more!' I sent my 360 off to get it fixed in Germany, but my eyes had strayed to the new 'slim' version PS3 which had just had a big price drop. So still 'burned' by my red ring encounter (that sounds so wrong) I packed up my 360 games and plastic bits and bobs and headed off to my local Gamestation.

 Using the term Islamophobia to describe the negative sentiments towards Islam and Muslim communities has now become commonplace but Islamophobia first became a popularly used term in 1996 after ). Since then, there have been multiple attempts through commissions, research and public events to counter Islamophobic sentiments in the country but while numbers are decreasing, the rate at which the situation is improving is slow.
But despite attempts to standardise the definition, there still remains a lot of debate on what the term encompasses and whether or not it is accurately understood in the different spheres that it is used in. Shenaz Bunglawala, Director of the Byline Festival Foundation and former Head of Research at MEND points out how it has now become a case of problematising the term itself rather than focusing on the problem it describes.
But many do believe it is precisely the vague nature of, and the complexity surrounding the term that makes it hard to focus on the problem. Nikita Malik, researcher and commentator on radicalisation and terrorism believes that one of the main concerns with the use of the term Islamophobia is that it focuses too much on the idea of ‘Muslimness” as opposed to countering the hate and experiences faced by Muslim individuals themselves.  For Abdullah Ayaz Mullanee, teacher and Founder of the Lubab Institute the two terms mean different things as well, but on a more political angle. He sees Anti Muslim Hate as being advocated for by the far-right, which includes actions like the travel ban or job discrimination that targets Muslimness. “Islamophobia on the other hand” he says, “means you are intolerant of the actual beliefs of Islam, and you think the person who holds those views need to change them.” He also adds that Islamophobia can be less documented than Anti Muslim Hate because it is not as obvious.
Ms Sadie Chana, a doctoral fellow at the Centre for Analysis Of The Radical Right (CARR) differentiates between Islamophobia and Anti Muslim Hate with labelling the former as an ideology and the latter as an action.
What’s most interesting is how, despite many advocating for the use of the term anti-Muslim hate as a way to clarify confusion around definitions and pave forward a way of action instead, this term seems to be falling prey to the same debates.
According to Mr. Versi, “Anti Muslim Hate doesn’t cover non-Muslims who face Islamophobia (e.g. Sikhs or sometimes brown people who are assumed to be Muslim), nor does it cover mosques, Qurans, Muslim schools”. He also believes that as a term, Anti Muslim Hate is far more limiting because the impact of Islamophobia isn’t limited to just hate.
Versi brings up a key point in the debate on discrimination against Islam and Muslims. It’s not just overt hate that is the problem. In fact Baroness Warsi declared more than 8 years ago that Islamophobia passed the ‘dinner table test’ in Britain. The kind of discrimination faced by Muslim communities has become an acceptableIn the eight years since the Baroness made this declaration it seems little has changed which brings attention to whether the fight for acceptance of Islamic lifestyles is targeting the right problems.

In The Twilight of the Idols (1888), Friedrich Nietzsche expressed his wish to philosophize with a hammer, that is, to make smithereens of the false images that leeringly prevent a candid vision of life, the world, and history. Nietzsche wrote that “there are more idols than realities in the world.” He wished, with his instrument, preliminarily, to “test” the idols – expecting to detect “as a reply that famous hollow sound which speaks of bloated entrails.” If that were the sign, the hammer might come fully into play. Like the supreme iconoclast of the German language, Dario Fernández-Morera, a Professor of Spanish and Portuguese Literature at Northwestern University, has decided to test a certain gallery of idols, the much-revered ones connected with a persistent, but, in light of accessible knowledge, dubious legend. The old legend of Islamic Spain (for that is the story in question), of its tolerance and enlightenment, and of its convivencia of all peoples, has gained new currency with the rise of the anti-Western, anti-Christian ideology known as multiculturalism. The university departments of Arabic and Middle Eastern Studies, having transformed themselves into publicity businesses for the new militant phase of Islam, their acolytes, politically correct to the core, have propagandized the utopian narrative of the Umayyads, Almoravids, and Almohads in Spain. Those same acolytes have either ignored the achievements of Visigothic Spain and its successor polities in the northern part of Hispania or have denigrated them by invidious, non-factual comparisons. Honoring the facts, which he has patiently gleaned in a decade of impressively disciplined study, Fernández-Morera has written The Myth of the Andalusian Paradise (ISI, 2016), which, with its handsome dust jacket, is nevertheless a warrior’s cudgel. The myth of that supposed paradise will not withstand its prodigious action…

First, there wasn't anyone available Tuesday morning to the "Today Show" bookers to point out that Berger's actions in tampering with documents undermines the reliability of the Commission's report?Garbage in, garbage out, right?
How can anyone think it was a good idea to let a potentially responsible party review the evidence against him and his colleagues?No one wanted to make these simple points opposite Gergen?
Second, keep applying the Condi Rice test. If Dr. Rice had been caught stuffing her blouse with highly classified handwritten notes from the days after 9-11, what would be going on in D.C. right now?Do you think the "Today Show" could have found someone to criticize Rice on air?
Gergen pointed to the placement of the July 20 Berger story inside the Washington Post as evidence that it isn't that significant. Huh?
The recklessness and fecklessness of the Clinton years on all sorts of matters of highest importance – from the al-Qaida training camps in Afghanistan, to getting duped by the North Koreans and worked by Arafat – came home to roost with a deadly vengeance on 9-11. Are we going to give the same crowd another run at the controls?

Lovre Kalinic, who joined in January, was substituted at half time against West Brom.
Kalinic sustained an impact injury to the head as a result of a coming together with Albion player Jake Livermore.
The Croation international goalkeeper was forced off at the break, being replaced by current Villa number two Jed Steer.
On the injury and Kalinic’s first half performance in the defeat to Albion, Smith told the official site:
.
He was dizzy at half-time.
Assuming that Kalinic passes concussion related medical tests, he is expected to feature at Villa’s next game away at Stoke.
Villa have struggled in the goalkeeping department. The poor Orland Nyland is a long term injury absentee whilst Mark Bunn is widely acknowledged as unfit for purpose. Jed Steer, repeatedly shipped out on loan or injured, thus finds himself as Villa’s back-up.


"I object in the strongest terms to the whole idea of an inclusive economy. Do not spend my money on "addressing inequalities " because you should treat all your residents equally. Every time you redistribute wealth you are incentivising dependency and failure. Your review has missed the point. Let people alone and they can work their way out of poverty. If you 'ensure' people have 'skills and opportunities' you are just going to treat them unequally and that is wrong. I think the review is deeply biased to outdated socialist notions and you need to modernise your approach."

An estimated 2 million people worldwide have invasive fungal infections
Sourc:The SiteAddtime:2019/7/15 Click:0rance found that Bdf1 is a gene regulatory protein thats Candida albicans.
"We have demonstrated that Bdf1 is an important new goal for drug design,""Our results suggest that compounds that bind to this target can disrupt the growth of fungi and open the way for new drug treatments for fungal diseases."
The French scientist who led McKenna's research is Jérôme Govin and Carlo Petosa from the Alpine University of Grenoble.
The fungus Candida albicans is an invasive pathogen that is normally controlled by the immune system in healthy people. However, people with weaker immune systems, including those with cancer, HIV or autoimmune dise, McKenna said8 and may be timely. Fungal infections such as candidiasis are increasingly resistant to drug6,000 American patients are infected with invasive candidiasis each year.
“When a susceptible population develops a Candida infection, the fungus may enter the bloodstream. If the treatment is unsuccessful, its mortality rate is very high – in the 40% range,” McKenna said. “Our drug count is very limited and can effectively treat this systemic infection. Unfortunately, like many other pathogens, Candida albicans is increasingly resistant to a few available drugs, increasing patient bets and urgently needed Take a new approach."
Convergent biological science research
McKenna pointed out that his team's discovery was achieved through the integration of biological sciences, an emerging multidisciplinary research fusion designed to accelerate health-related discoveries from the laboratory to the bedside. Drawing on experience from a diverse network of scientists, engineersonvergence Bioscience Center plans to promote biomedical discovery, innovative and real-world solutions for rapid detection and treatment from microbial infections to Alzheim Diseases such as Mohs disease and cancer.

Many scientists are investigating alternatives to diseases such as cancer by manipulating gene expression. The USC-Grenoble team was the first team to demonstrate that this method can be used to target fungal infections.
"The idea is that if you turn off this particular protein, Bdf1, you completely destroy the entire process of gene expression, and fungi can't grow," Govin said. "In addition, when injected into mice, the fungus is no longer toxic."
The challenge for scientists is to find a compound that shuts down the Bdf1 protein without erroneously affecting any similar protein in humans.
"Ufound that the fungal Bdf1 protein and the corresponding human protein are very different at the atomic level," Petosa said. "This suggests that compounds can specifically inhibit fungal proteins without affecting human bromodomain proteins."

New York City's job market "has held up much better than most other cities in the U.S. but the people that are doing the best are those with at least a four-year degree," Bowles explained. "New York City has a growing technology sector, there's high-end business services. But for a lot of people in the middle class with lower levels of educational attainment, they're not doing well."

To add again to the irony, 11 months ago it was reported on the Giant Freakin Robot website that, “The DC Extended Universe continues to expand, working its way away from the core Justice Leaguers who were the staple when they started. Over the next many years, we are going to see kinds of new characters work their way into the Warner Bros. mix in a number of different ways. And apparently, it won’t just adding new characters willy-nilly to the group.plan to make sure at least 10 LGBT characters are part of the group as they expand the roster. It’s a bold undertaking by the studio in that they have major plans to really bring a whole new look to their current franchise.”
When it comes to the “Fantastic Beasts 3” movie, it would be fair to ask why it is important to introduce the subject of homosexuality into the movie at all, especially in such a passing way. After all, what does this have to do with the storyline of the movie? (For a related question, see my article, “Why Did Disney’s Jungle Cruise Have to Go Gay?”)
As explained by Yahoo News, “Author J.K. Rowling revealed at a 2007 fan event for “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” that Dumbledore identifies as gay. The character’s sexual orientation was not referenced in previous ‘Fantastic Beast’ installments but has been revealed for the first time in the newest film.”

Well I got a bunch of stuff that I wish could have been different that doesn’t specifically relate to my childhood. It’s easy to reflect on your life at this point and wish that you had studied different things, approached problems and people in a myriad of various ways but I’m a firm believer that if you desire something, you are never too late to go for it now.
The main thing is that you know you want it and are in a position to do something about it, so go for it – perhaps you’re in an even stronger position than when your were a child because you have the benefit of wisdom and hindsight, along with the financial wherewithal. Not only that but you can also pass this on to your kids, if they want to follow in your glorious footsteps.
Since I am happy with my upbringing and my parents, this represents a problem for me as a writer in that I have no conflict here to draw upon.
Therefore I would like to share something else about my childhood.
It’s nice isn’t? Just like Mother used to make.
Try eating a burnt crispy piece of rice pudding, barfing it back up, then your Mother walks in accusing you of not eating anything and you will damn well eat it all up Mister.
I think you know where this is going and it’s not pretty.
It’s a shame that a fundamental design flaw of rice pudding is that its consistency vaguely resembles chunky vomit.
I still think twice about eating rice pudding to this day.Thankfully my Mum redeems herself with the most amazing curries in the world.
Whole, ugly, lumpy, squirty, squishy apricots.
Talk about negative memory reinforcement – it scarred me worse than Harry Bleedin’ Potter!
*Not the weekend though – let’s make it a working day then I can call in sick. No point being a damn fool about it.
So in conclusion, it would be nice to know if any of you have had amusing food related disasters in your childhood that you would like to share with me in the Comments section.
Never let the child in you grow up and you’ll always be young at heart – have fun kids!
