This booklet offers a chronological advent to the technological know-how of movement and relaxation in response to the studying and research of important parts of Galileo's Dialogues touching on New Sciences, Pascal's Treatise at the Equilibrium of Fluids and the burden of the Mass of Air, Newton's Mathematical rules of average Philosophy, and Einstein's Relativity.
Each bankruptcy starts off with a brief creation through a examining choice. conscientiously crafted learn questions draw out key issues within the textual content and concentration the reader's cognizance at the author's tools, research, and conclusions. Numerical and laboratory workouts on the finish of every bankruptcy attempt the reader's skill to appreciate and observe key innovations from the text.
Space, Time and movement is the second one of 4 volumes in A Student's advisor throughout the nice Physics Texts. This e-book grew out of a four-semester undergraduate physics curriculum designed to inspire a serious and circumspect method of usual technological know-how, whereas whilst getting ready scholars for complicated coursework in physics.
This publication is especially appropriate as a college-level textbook for college kids of the common sciences, historical past or philosophy. It additionally serves as a textbook for complicated high-school scholars, or as a thematically-organized source-book for students and encouraged lay-readers. In learning the vintage clinical texts integrated herein, the reader can be drawn towards a life of contemplation.
Astronomy and Astrophysics is a accomplished, primary, and up to date reference booklet. it's full of important details and uncomplicated evidence for beginner astronomers astrophysicists, and for a person drawn to the Universe, from the Earth and different planets to the celebrities, galaxies and past. a very thorough Index cross-references options, discoveries and contributors in either the Timeline part and Dictionary part. The mixed result's a different stand-alone reference quantity during which the reader can quick find details, whereas additionally researching new and unforeseen knowledge.
This is often an edited list of the discussion of eminent scientists attending the 3rd convention within the sequence at the Origins of lifestyles, supported via a provide from the Biosciences application of the nationwide Aeronautics and area advert ministration. the 1st convention at Princeton, 1967, was once held less than the course of Dr.
In reply to the question raised by Simplicio, one may say that although each particular vacuum is exceedingly minute and therefore easily overcome, yet their number is so extraordinarily great that their combined resistance is, so to speak, multipled almost without limit. The nature and the amount of force [forza] which results [risulta] from adding together an immense number of small forces [debolissimi momenti] is clearly illustrated by the fact that a weight of millions of pounds, suspended by great cables, is overcome and lifted, when the south wind carries innumerable atoms of water, suspended in thin mist, which moving through the air penetrate between the fibres of the tense ropes in spite of the tremendous force of the hanging weight.
Liberty Chapter 3 Archimedes' Principle and Falling Bodies There are bodies which will fall rapidly in air, whereas if placed in water not only will not sink but will remain at rest or will even rise to the top. 1 The reading selection included below is a continuation of this discussion. On pages /74–105/ of Galileo's text, which are omitted from this volume for the sake of brevity, one encounters a series of digressions which touch upon the fundamental nature of substances. For the interested reader, these include (i) how a continuous line may be built up from an infinite number of indivisible points, (ii) the distinction between countably and uncountably infinite quantities, (iii) the immeasurable rapidity of the speed of light, (iv) how a continuous body may be built up from absolutely indivisible atoms, (v) how such indivisible atoms might explain the expansion and contraction of various substances, (vi) a proof that the circle has the largest area of all plane figures having the same perimeter, and even (vii) a prescription for how to construct a pouch from a given amount of fabric which has the largest carrying capacity.
I beg of you, Simplicio, that you give us the precise proof of the Philosopher and that you, Salviati, give us the reply. So far as I remember, Aristotle inveighs against the ancient view that a vacuum is a necessary prerequisite for motion and that the latter could not occur without the former. In opposition to this view Aristotle shows that it is precisely the phenomenon of motion, as we shall see, which renders untenable the idea of a vacuum. His method is to divide the argument into two parts.

This paper offers an analysis into the external factors influencing the accelerated internationalization of technology-based firms (TBFs) in the context of an emerging country, Brazil. This type of firm is typically called born global and has been reported mainly in high technology sectors and from developed countries. A survey was applied to small and medium Brazilian TBFs. Logistic regression was used to test the research hypotheses. The results suggest that new and small Brazilian technology-based firms, which followed an accelerated internationalization process, are most likely to be integrated into a global production chain. Results also show that TBFs which take more than five years to enter the international market, benefit more from the location in an innovation habitat, the partnerships in the home country, and the pro-internationalization government policies. Therefore, this research contributes to a better understanding of the phenomenon and points to new perspectives of studies.

USA had their problems in qualifying but once in the final they showed their sheer class by powering to an emphatic defence of their Olympic title from the tight inside lane, making a little bit of history as well by being the first Olympic champions in this event running in lane one.
Bartoletta, the Olympic and world long jump champion, gave USA a blistering start.On leg two, Jamaica fought back with the help of double Olympic sprint champion Elaine Thompson, who was up against Felix.
The final leg matched Rio 2016 100m silver medallist Tori Bowie against Fraser-Pryce, the bronze medallist on this occasion, but the gap remained the same as USA – containing half the team with Bartoletta and Felix which won gold when setting a world record in this event at the London 2012 Olympics Games – striking gold again.
Many people had just assumed that Almaz Ayana would waltz her way to a second gold medal in similarly majestic fashion to the way she won the 10,000m in world record time a week ago, but Vivian Cheruiyot had other ideas.
Motivated by the fact that, despite her many career accomplishments, she was still missing an Olympic gold medal, the diminutive Kenyan produced one of the biggest shocks of an Olympic athletics programme which had already seen a plethora of upsets.
Overhauling Ayana with 600 metres to go, after the Ethiopian had attempted to run away with the race in what has become familiar fashion over the past two seasons, the five-time world champion on both the track and cross country showed a turn of speed that few suspected she still had at the age of 32, and Cheruiyot crossed the line in an Olympic record of 14:26.17.
It was her fastest time at the distance since her halcyon year of 2011 when she won the 5000m, 10,000m and world cross-country titles.
"I'm so happy for me, my husband, my son, my parents," said Cheruiyot. "This might be the last Olympics for me.
"Almaz is such a great athlete, we thought she would win again. She got ahead but then I thought, 'She's not moving'. I was working and I went past her.
"It was my fourth Olympic Games and I had not had gold. Almaz can go fast for 400m, then slow it down. Today I said, 'I am going to follow her. I am not going to lose her'."
However, for more than four kilometres it did look like Ayana was going to add to her Olympic 10,000m gold medal and world 5000m title.
Just like in her heat, Miyuki Uehara dashed straight to the front from the gun, and Ayana tucked straight in behind her with the Japanese runner acting as a convenient pacemaker for Ethiopia's prohibitive pre-race favourite.
Going through the first kilometre in 2:59.86 ended any speculation that, like in the 10,000m a week ago, Ayana might make a solo bid for a world record.
The pace was still slow enough to allow all of the other 17 starters to still be running in mainly single file as they approached the eight laps to go infield display, but then Ayana decided that the pace was too sedate and took off, uncorking a 65.18 lap which fractured the field.
The second kilometre was reached in 6:00.36 and, with six laps to go, Ayana had opened up a 30-metre gap on the four-strong chasing group – the Kenyan trio of Cheruiyot, Hellen Obiri and Mercy Cherono as well as Turkey's European champion Yasmine Can – which, in turn, had opened up a massive gap on the rest of the field.
The gap had developed to 40 metres with five laps to go, 3000m being reached in 8:47.80.
Can started to drop back with four laps to go, leaving just the three Kenyans to chase Ayana.
At the 4000m mark, reached in 11:39.75, Cherono started to struggle and drift back but her two compatriots continued to work together over the next lap and closed the gap gradually on their rival from the other end of the Rift Valley.
Looking more weary than in any race since she was beaten over this distance at the IAAF Diamond League meeting in Paris just over a year ago, Ayana was then passed by first Cheruiyot and then Obiri.
Cheruiyot quickly started to move away from the 2012 world indoor 3000m champion who has successfully moved up distance this year but Obiri didn't throw in the towel until the final 50 metres, once she had ensured the silver medal was hers. Obiri crossed the line in a personal best of 14:29.77 while a disappointed Ayana crossed the line just under four seconds later, having enough of an advantage over Cherono to make sure she got the bronze despite suffering over the last lap.
It was Japan's second everOlympic medal in this event, adding to the bronze they won in 2008.
The rule cited was 170.7, which deals with the baton exchange; apparently when lead-off runner Mike Rodgers passed to second leg Tyson Gay, the baton touched Gay's hand before it reached the exchange zone.
This will not go down as a classic contest and it was the first time since 1984 that the event has been won with less than 80 metres but the gold medal was up for grabs after the prohibitive pre-Rio favourite Pawl Fajdek crashed out in the qualifying round and Tajikistan's Dilshod Nazarov took his chance with aplomb.
His winning throw of 78.68m guaranteed that he will be given a heroes' welcome when he returns home as Nazarov got his nation's first medal of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games in any sport and Tajikistan's first gold medal, again across all sports not just athletics, since it became independent following the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
"The reaction back home is going to be hard to imagine. I've got hundreds, maybe thousands of 'likes' on my Facebook account, so I think the country were behind me tonight," commented the stunned but delighted winner.
Throwing 12th and last in the initial rotation, Nazarov led after the first round with 76.16m, three centimetres further than Belarus' 40-year-old Ivan Tsikhan.
Tsikhan took the lead with the first throw of the second round when he reached 77.43m and Nazarov could only respond with 77.27m.
However, Nazarov only needed one more throw to get back in front, his third round effort of 78.07m, and he stayed in the lead for the rest of the competition, improving to 78.68m in the fifth round.
Nazarov could never relax as Tsikhan and several other throwers were certainly capable of reaching the distances he was throwing, but none did.
Tsikhan closed the gap on Nazarov with his fifth round 77.79m throw in the fifth round, pressuring a response from the leader, but neither man could improve with their final throws.
"Everything was very good but I am so tired after the competition. The heat wasn't a problem, because in my country it is almost the same, it is normal," added Nazarov.
If the gold and silver medals stayed in the same hands during the second half of the competition, the bronze was swapped in round six from Mexico's Diego del Real to Poland's Wojciech Nowicki.
Del Real, bidding to become the first Mexican man to win an athletics medal since 2000 and the first one ever who wasn't a walker, had moved into the bronze medal position with his third round 76.05m, the second best throw of his career.
He couldn't improve but stayed in third place all the way until the sixth round when Nowicki, the IAAF World Championship Beijing 2015 bronze medallist finally found his form and threw 77.73m to move up to third, hopping up and down for a few anxious moments as it looked possible he might even have overtaken Tsikhan.
The 22-year-old Del Real couldn't improve with his last throw but certainly looks as though this will not be the only occasion when he'll challenge for a medal at a global championship.
London 2012 Olympic Games champion Krisztian Pars from Hungary has not been in the type of form that suggested a defence of his title was a realistic possibility but in a competitive – if rather less than awe-inspiring – competition which saw barely four metres cover the top eight, he finished a creditable seventh.
Sara Kolak threw a PB of 66.18m to set a Croatian record and win Olympic gold in the women's javelin on Thursday evening.
This was Kolak's first time at a competition of this scale; she had won bronze at the recent European Championships and at the 2014 World Junior Championships in Eugene.
Kolak stood sixth after the third round. Her tremendous throw then came in the fourth and left her perched in first place for the rest of that round and the two remaining rounds after it.
Silver went to South Africa's Sunette Viljoen, who threw 64.92m in the first round to take the early lead and only lost it to Kolak.
The battle for bronze was more heated. Belarus's Tatsiana Khaladovich stood second after three rounds, and was bumped to third when Kolak took the lead.
In the fifth round, Barbora Spotakova of the Czech Republic, who had been third after the second round, improved to 64.80m, the mark which would wind up holding bronze.
Maria Andrejczyk of Poland, the best thrower of the qualifying with her national record of 67.11m there, couldn't improve on her 64.78m in the fifth round and stayed fourth in the final, leaving Khaladovich fifth.
Kolak, just 21, has been improving steadily through 2016; this was her fifth national record of the year, improving on her 64.30m throw in the qualifying. Altogether she took 2.68m off her best (set while winning European bronze) here in Rio. She has improved more than eight metres this year. She has held the Croatian record since she was 18 and improved it eight times in total.
Kolak joins discus thrower Sandra Perkovic as the second Croatian gold medal winner in athletics at these games.
Viljoen, competing in her fourth consecutive Olympics, finally made it in to the medals. She was fourth in London and has won two World Championships bronze medals (in Daegu in 2011 and in Beijing in 2015), but this was her first Olympic medal. It was also the first medal in the women's javelin won by an athlete from Africa.
Spotakova, the Olympic champion in 2008 and 2012, was one of four women who arrived in Rio hoping to be the first to win three consecutive golds in an individual event. Like the three before her, Spotakova settled for a lesser medal, but did become the first woman to win three medals in the javelin.
Former world youth champion Ekaterini Stefanidi of Greece finally delivered on all the rich promise she showed during a prodigious U18 and U20 career to land the gold medal on countback in an absorbing competition inside a buzzing Olympic Stadium.
The 26-year-old, who this season has been the most consistent vaulter in the world and who last month landed the European title, unashamedly shed tears of joy to secure top spot on the podium on countback from USA's Sandi Morris.
The pair both cleared 4.85m and matched each other vault-for-vault apart from the US vaulter needing two attempts at 4.70m to Stefanidi's one, a failure that ultimately proved very costly.
In a slight surprise, 19-year-old Eliza McCartney took a bronze medal as she equalled her New Zealand record with a first time clearance of 4.80m to become the youngest person in Olympic history to mount the podium in the women's pole vault.
It was also the first outdoor competition in the history of the event in which four women have cleared 4.80m or higher.
McCartney may possibly represent the future of the event, and is a former world junior record holder, but today it was Stefanidi's day and the US-based Greek was elated with her success after a long career in the sport.
"I've jumped since I was 10 years old, a total of 16 years," she said. "I can't believe what's happened. It's amazing, the crowd were amazing, my parents are here. They are both athletes so they understand even more.
Suhr, who also won Olympic silver in 2008, looked understandably laboured given her health issues and needed two attempts to clear 4.60m; a height which saw the departure of two women: Tina Sutej of Slovenia and Canada's Kelsie Ahbe.
The 34-year-old Suhr, who was visibly struggling, found 4.70m beyond her and, unfortunately, made a premature exit in defence of her title.
Also eliminated at 4.70m were the German duo Martina Strutz and Liza Ryzih as well as, slightly surprisingly, Cuba's reigning world champion and London 2012 Olympic Games silver medallist Yarisley Silva.
Six women cleared 4.70m with McCartney, Stefanidi, Great Britain's Holly Bradshaw and Nicole Buchler of Switzerland doing so at the first time of asking.
Morris needed a second time clearance to earn the judges' approval – a statistic which would come back to haunt her – while Oceania record holder Alana Boyd succeeded at the third time of asking.
The medallists really began to take shape at 4.80m with the largely unheralded 2014 world junior bronze medallist McCartney soared clear to match her national record with her first effort to grab control of the competition.
Stefanidi, Morris and Boyd all needed second-time clearances to negotiate this height while Bradshaw was eliminated and, after one failure, Buchler gambled and passed to the next height of 4.85m.
All five remaining vaulters registered a cross next to their name with their respective first attempts, however, the talented McCartney, who clearly appeared to be enjoying every moment of her maiden Olympic experience, came perilously close to a clearance and only dislodged the bar with her chest on the way back down to the pole vault bed.
Stefanidi and then Morris – who in May broke a bone in her wrist – both hit back to slither over 4.85m with their second attempts, the latter punching the air in triumph.
McCartney could not match the more experienced pair, however she was rewarded with a brilliant bronze following her flawless competition up to this point after Buchler's gamble at 4.85m proved unsuccessful and Boyd fell short of what was required to clear 4.85m.
The bar was then raised to 4.90m but with Stefanidi having her nose in front courtesy of a first time clearance at 4.70m, compared to Morris' second time clearance, the Greek now held the upper hand.
The final day of athletics at the Olympic stadium in Rio will see seven gold medals awarded in two short hours of action. Here's what to look out for on what could be a momentous day in Brazil.
The men's 5000m final, the last individual race of the Games, will see Mo Farah attempt to write his name into the history books (starts 21:30 local time).
The Briton wrapped up the 10,000m title on Saturday. If he can win his second gold of these Games he will become only the second man in history, after Lasse Viren, to retain both track distance titles.
The complexion of his challenge is altered by the fact that no Kenyans made it to the final. As such, it is the Ethiopian duo of two-time world medallist Hagos Gebrhiwet and 2012 Olympic silver medallist Dejen Gebremeskel that represents Farah's most stern challenge.
They have the pace to compete – Gebremeskel's PB is seven seconds better than Farah's – but when you consider each of those listed accolades was won behind the Briton, it is hard to see either stopping him with such a lofty prize on offer.
Yet as 10,000m champion Almaz Ayana found out on Friday night, racing in both distance finals in a week can sap the legs. Farah's task is monumental: that's exactly why if he achieves it, it will be so historic.
Asbel Kiprop is the favourite in a deep field for the night's marquee final, the 1500m, which starts at 21:00.
In all but one race this season (a sixth place in Monaco) the Kenyan has looked a cut above, with wins over the mile in Oslo and Eugene, and in the 1500m in Doha and Birmingham, the latter with a world-leading 3:29.33. The 2008 Olympic champion, who has three world titles and is number three all-time, looked in cruise control as he won both his heat and semi to make the final.
Yet his rivals will take heart from his Monaco loss and the fact that he was dead last at the London 2012 Olympics, a result explained as injury. Taoufik Makhloufi took the gold four years ago. The Algerian showed his speed by winning 800m silver earlier this week and will be on Kiprop's shoulder, if not in front of it.
Djibouti's 2014 world indoor champion Ayanleh Souleiman, 2012 bronze medallist Abdalaati Iguider, 2008 silver medallist Nick Willis and USA's world indoor champion Matt Centrowitz should also be in the finishing scramble.
There is also an overwhelming favourite in the women's 800m final, at 21:15. Caster Semenya is unbeaten this year and warmed up for Rio with the fastest time of the decade, 1:55.33 at the IAAF Diamond League meeting in Monaco.
Burundi's world indoor champion Francine Niyonsaba and Kenya's 2014 world U20 champion Margaret Wambui have looked most able when pitted against Semenya this year, but they've not been able to live with the South African's closing speed.
Great Britain's Lynsey Sharp and Canada's Melissa Bishop have both set lifetime bests under 1:58 this season, and could challenge for medals. So could world champion Marina Arzamasova, but the gold simply looks beyond anyone but Semenya.
The South African still hasn't run a perfectly paced race – she sprinted through the line in Monaco. If she times it right in the final then she could finish with more than just the gold medal.
The women's high jump final, which starts at 20:30 local time, is not short of seasoned contenders.
Spaniard Ruth Beitia, 37, won her third European title last month and has this year won IAAF Diamond League meetings in Oslo, Stockholm and London.
Then there is mother-of-three Chaunte Lowe, 32, who won the US title in July with a world-leading 2.01m. For both athletes, Rio is their fourth Olympics. Croatian double world champion Blanka Vlasic, 32, would be at her fourth Games had she not missed London with injury.
More than just experience links those three outstanding competitors. Each qualified for the final without a single failure, yet none has won an Olympic title. As 18-year-old Vashti Cunningham of the USA proved when she beat Beitia to the world indoor title earlier this year, past form counts for nothing on the day.
Just seven centimetres separates the best and worst of the season's bests of the 17-woman field. Any one of them could upset experience and stand atop of the Olympic podium for the first time.
Until Trinidad and Tobago's Keshorn Walcott won a surprise gold medal at the 2012 Olympics, the men's Olympic javelin title has gone to Europe at every Games since 1952. Walcott, along with world champion Julius Yego, will ensure the old continent does not recover its crown easily in the final, which starts at 20:55.
The Trinidadian qualified for the final with his sole throw, a season's best of 88.68m. Yego needed three efforts and was down on his best, yet the Kenyan's 92.72m to win world gold proved his absolute, if raw, talent.
Those two and Germany's Thomas Rohler are the only 90m+ throwers in the final. Yet since Rohler threw his world-leading personal best of 91.28m in June, he has struggled with a back injury. His teammates Johannes Vetter (85.96m) and Julian Weber (84.46m) were second and third in qualifying and could be Europe's strongest hopes.
The Czech Republic's 2013 world champion Vitezslav Vesely and Finland's 2012 bronze medallist Antti Ruuskanen were down in qualifying, however their championship experience means they too could challenge for gold.
However, they will have their work cut out if they are to halt the shifting axis of this new age of javelin throwing.
The men's and women's 4x400m relays will wrap up the Olympic action on the track.
The women's event starts at 22:00, and will see the US and Jamaican teams resume their ongoing rivalry. The Jamaican quartet upset the form book to take gold at last year's World Championships.
The US team they beat to the gold contained athletes with better season's bests, just as they do here. Their quartet won their heat in 3:21.42; the second was won by Jamaica in 3:22.38. The stage is set.
In the men's final, which starts at 22:35, the US quartet is also out for vengeance. A Bahamas' team led by evergreen Chris Brown secured gold four years ago, breaking up USA's traditional dominance in the event.
Bahamas are in the final, but the race might be another case of USA vs Jamaica. The Jamaican team beat them in heat two of qualifying in 2:58.29, the fastest time of any team.


QPR have confirmed the signings of Newcastle defender Peter Ramage and Slavia Prague goalkeeper Radek Cerny.
Ramage, who has been at St James' Park since he was 11, has agreed a three-year contract in the hope of getting regular first team football.
The 24-year-old made 45 league starts during his time at Newcastle.
Cerny, who has been at Tottenham on loan since January 2005, has agreed a two-year deal. The 34-year-old Czech started 20 games this season for Spurs.
He is set to become the third Czech keeper to play for the R's, following in the footsteps of Jan Stejskal and Ludek Miklosko.


I couldn't agree with Voltaire more; I love food and the pleasure that it brings. In fact dining and indulging in French cuisine is one of my most favourite things to do in Paris. A day spent wandering through Parisian streets, exploring and experiencing all that Paris has to offer, is made even better by enjoying a delicious meal at one of its many bistros, brasseries, restaurants and cafés. Paris is literally full of them. The French take their food very seriously and it certainly shows. There is something so luxurious about just being there, in the moment, soaking up the amazing atmosphere that only belongs to Paris. A time to sit and recharge, to watch the world go by, relaxing and anticipating the delights and decadence of the dishes to come.
On an incredibly hot summer day in July, I found myself walking down rue Saint-Honoré in the heart of the 1st arrondissement, on my way to explore some of Paris's famous covered passages. In need of a well deserved rest from hours of flanneuring, I decided to take a break and have some lunch first.
Before I start, let me put this into perspective, when visiting Paris I eat all of my meals out. That's breakfast, lunch AND dinner… maybe even (very possibly…..OK…..more than likely…..OK definitely), a pastry and a coffee in the afternoon. I always stay in hotels and don't have any use for a kitchen. When I'm on holidays, you certainly won't find me cooking. It gives me an excuse to take every self indulgent opportunity to enjoy as many culinary delights that I can. You can't count calories in Paris, there's plenty of time for that at home. I make a point of finding different places to try and rarely eat at the same place twice, unless it's exceptionally good. Now that adds up to a lot of different restaurants and I've decided to only write about Café Plume….that's how good it is!
As soon as I was seated, I started to take in my surroundings. The first thing I noticed was that it was gorgeously eclectic in that perfectly French way. A bookshelf behind me housed various old books and knick knacks and the ornate chandelier complemented the stunning black and white tiled floors and wonderfully wallpapered walls. Even the menu itself was unusual and quirky, bound by a wooden rod reminiscent of a wand. Café Plume is a charming mix of old and new that evokes interest and a sense of homeliness with a touch of glamour thrown into the mix.
Now for the really important bit, the food! It was so hard to choose what to order; everything on the menu looked equally and wonderfully appetising. I am a sucker for chicken and creamy sauces so I stayed true to myself and ordered Le Paillard de Poulet – a delicious chicken dish with a creamy ginger sauce, onions and fresh coriander served with a smooth and buttery mashed potato. Every morsel was a sheer delight to be savoured. The flavours were so divine, rich and sumptuous that even though the serving size was generous, I didn't want it to end.
Le Paillard de Poulet – just divine!
Another thing I am a sucker for is dessert. You can imagine the dilemma I found myself in when I literally could not decide between the range of famous Berthillon ice-creams on offer and one of my all time favourites, salted caramel cheesecake! I decided to ask an expert's opinion and questioned my friendly server on such an important decision. She didn't hesitate for a second and replied in her charming French accent, 'Without a doubt, the cheesecake. It is truly something special.' Well, that was it! The cheesecake it was to be! Let me tell you that she wasn't wrong. I have never had a cheesecake as good as this, ever…period! The texture of the filling was a cross between whipped cream and ice-cream, balanced with perfectly rich, smooth, salted caramel. The word the comes to mind to describe it would be none other than heavenly! It's probably a good thing that I only discovered this wonderful restaurant on my last day in Paris or I may not have ever ventured away from the table.
I now have a new favourite place to dine in Paris and I will definitely be a regular here on each future trip, happily breaking my 'don't eat anywhere twice' rule. I'm still daydreaming about the meal I had there and I have been back home for well over a month now. Trust me, do yourself a favour and give it a try, you'll be glad you did.
Of course I had to explore upstairs!
I'm sure if Voltaire was still alive, he would have been sitting at the table right next to mine enjoying such a pleasurable necessity right there with me!
I've add Café Plume to places that must be tried on my next trip! Merci!!
Glad I could help Jeanne. Let me know what you order and what you think of it. I'm sure you will enjoy it.
Thank you for such lovely feedback! If I made your mouth water then I must have done a great job. 😊 Paris in 5 weeks, how exciting. Let me know what you think of Café Plume. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Oh wow! Thank you so much! It's really wonderful to receive such positive feedback. It makes it all worthwhile to know someone is enjoying my posts and it really makes my day! 😊 I'm so glad you liked it and will be following. Corey is amazing. He has formed such an amazing community bringing so many people together. Thanks again for taking the time to let me know.

The Bahujan's illusory infatuation
Those who feel that democracy has come under threat because of Ravish Kumar quitting NDTV should be asked whether the channel has suddenly become a bad apple because Adani has bought it. Wouldn't Ambani have imposed conditions, when, ten years ago, he had invested in the channel? asks Vidya Bhushan Rawat
Vidya Bhushan Rawat December 25, 2022
Two recent incidents have rekindled a debate that has been taking centre stage time and again. This debate is focused on the media. It is common knowledge that the media plays a key role in shaping popular narratives. We can even say that one who controls the media also controls the popular narratives.
Another obvious implication of this premise is that factual reporting of events by the media cannot pave your way to power. The media should say what suits your narrative. Ravish Kumar, one of the star anchors of New Delhi Television Network (NDTV), has quit his job following the Adani Group capturing the TV company. This has triggered dooms-day predictions on social media. It is as if the media has ceased to exist in India.
On the other hand, Ravish Kumar continues to be hailed as a hero. He has launched his own YouTube channel, which has garnered 30 lakh subscribers in no time. Earlier, supporters of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) had mockingly expressed sympathy for him, saying that he had become unemployed. At the other extreme, some liberals were so perturbed by Ravish losing his job that they even proposed crowdfunding for him.
We Indians have a rare penchant for wasting time on senseless arguments. But those who understand the nitty-gritty of the media know well that an institution like NDTV cannot survive without big capital. It should also be remembered when electronic journalism began, the governments had started giving short shrift to social issues, and words like "globalization" and "liberalization" had wriggled into the popular lexicon. However, words like "investment" were not as well known.
Colour TV sets entered Indian drawing rooms during the 1982 Asian Games. Doordarshan, which kept on beaming footage of people raising slogans like "Khoon ka badla khoon se lengein" (Blood for blood), played no small role in the anti-Sikh riots that followed the assassination of Indira Gandhi on 31 October 1984. Anti-Sikh frenzy was whipped up by the Doordarshan incessantly beaming scenes of the last rites of Indira Gandhi and of events organized to pay tributes to her. Congress reaped the benefit of this frenzy in the general elections that followed. It won a stupendous majority in the Lok Sabha.
Prannoy Roy and Ravish Kumar
After 1985, the government loosened its control on Doordarshan, which launched several entertainment programmes, including serials like "Hum Log", "Buniyad" and "Ye Jo Hai Zindagi", swelling the ranks of TV audience in the country. Then came Ramanand Sagar-directed "Ramayan", which achieved unprecedented popularity. "Ramayan" helped Doordarshan reach every home. The government saw a new window of opportunity and B.R. Chopra was given the responsibility of producing "Mahabharata". That, too, scripted new viewership records.
Parallel to these "cultural" programmes, news programmes like "Janvani" were also launched. Prannoy Roy and Vinod Dua began live analyses of results of General Elections on Doordarshan, which became hugely popular. People loved seeing political leaders answering questions posed by journalists on screen. That was also the time when Rajiv Gandhi made some moves aimed at controlling the press.
It was around this time that Prannoy Roy founded NDTV, and Doordarshan started telecasting his shows "The News Tonight" and "World this Week". Both were well received and marked the entry of the private sector in TV journalism. At the time, no one could imagine "privatization of news" ultimately turning news channels into a business.
In 1990, the union government led by prime minister Vishwanath Pratap Singh accepted the recommendations of the Mandal Commission and announced 27 per cent for OBCs. Overnight, V.P. Singh was turned into an unadulterated villain. The dominant forces had discovered the antidote to reservations. It was called privatization. The media was a weapon which could be used to falsify a truth and supply falsehood with a veneer of truth. Being a government arm, Doordarshan had certain limitations, so private actors were brought to the fore. Prannoy Roy was a product of these new policies. A teacher at Delhi School of Economics, he gradually veered towards the world of media.
Towards the end of the 1990s, NDTV was entrusted with producing a news programme for Doordarshan in English. The India Today group's Aaj Tak produced the programme in Hindi. Gradually, by deftly cultivating and using contacts, NDTV emerged as the leader in electronic media. It maintained its secular character, even though its orientation was always elitist, and even union ministers were keen to appear in its programmes.
There was a time when a majority of NDTV's editorial staff were related to one or the other top politician or senior bureaucrat. There was not much competition in the field of electronic media and NDTV enjoyed a near monopoly. With time, however, big players of the print media and business tycoons like Ambani, too, jumped on the electronic-media bandwagon.
The "acche din" of NDTV ended with Narendra Modi coming to power in 2014. It found itself in the firing line. But even before that, NDTV's stand on basic economic issues was rather ambivalent and malleable. Ideologically, there was not much difference between the NDTV and the Modi government. Like other channels, NDTV, too, was an advocate of free market. The only difference was that while others screamed their support, NDTV did it softly and subtly.
If the Dalitbahujan of the country believe that NDTV raised their issues honestly or that some "hero" did it effectively, they are simply being naïve.
Whether it was Jotirao Phule or Ambedkar or Periyar – all of them launched their own newspapers and magazines as direct lines of communication with people. After India became independent, many Ambedkarites started their own publications as the so-called mainstream newspapers had little place for them and their views. Magazines like "Bhim Patrika" and "Dalit Voice" remained in print till the 1970s and 1980s. They were focused less on disseminating news and more on strengthening Ambedkarism. In the 1990s, Ambedkarite journals defended the reservations regime. With the advent of the 21st century came the Internet revolution, and people began writing blogs on social media. The most powerful Ambedkarite publication of the time was "Round Table India". It assumed the status of an organ of Ambedkarism. "Dalit Voice" and "Bhim Patrika" helped people like myself develop an understanding of Ambedkarism. We had no connection with Manuvadi media. Dalitbahujan magazines were also not taking on the Manuvadis, but were only trying to implement an Ambedkarite agenda in their respective communities. In a way, this was also important.
Today, there are many scholars, university professors and journalists who claim to have played a key role in taking Ambedkarism to every nook and cranny of the country. But in reality, it was the struggle and the writings of the likes of Bhagwan Das, Lahori Ram Bali, V.T. Rajshekhar, Raja Dhale, J.V. Pawar, Vijay Surwade, K. Jamnadas and N.G. Uike that led to the spread of Ambedkarism.
The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) coming to power in Uttar Pradesh in the 1990s felt like society was on the verge of a transformation. Hindi newspapers of north India played many a game to abort the impending change. While most newspapers openly backed the Ram Mandir movement, others provided a platform to new writers in the name of Ambedkarism. Most of today's well-known Ambedkarite writers began their careers with the "Hastakshep" column published by the Hindi daily Rashtriya Sahara. However, even at the time, there were some veteran Ambedkarites who refused to have anything to do with the brahmanical media.
Leaders like Kanshi Ram never did anything to endear themselves to the brahmanical capitalist media. Their focus was on their communities and on changes taking place within the communities.
The role of the bilingual magazine Forward Press in giving a fillip to change among the Dalits and the OBCs in north India and in giving opportunities to new writers cannot be understated. Ham Dalit, a magazine published by Indian Social Institute, also had an impressive presence among the deprived, especially in the Hindi belt. The publication is now called Hashiye Ki Awaaz.
After 2014, social media emerged as a powerful force in India. The Hindutavadis had realized its potential and grasped the way it worked much earlier than the others, and used it to teach a "new history" to the people. Blogging was now history and Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram had emerged as the new vehicles of communication. Today, many journalists have their own YouTube channels. There are thousands of YouTube channels, most of which are focused on a particular caste and religion.
Those who feel that democracy has come under threat because of Ravish Kumar quitting NDTV should be asked whether the channel has suddenly become a bad apple because Adani has bought it. Wouldn't Ambani have imposed conditions, when, ten years ago, he had invested in the channel?
Another issue is the representation of Dalits, OBCs and Adivasis in Hindi TV channels. Had the NDTV given opportunities to Dalit, Adivasi and OBC youth, it would surely have been counted as an achievement.
Also, like the Manuvadi media, the alternative media is also using all sorts of tricks to expand its reach. News stories are being sensationalized. Rare are mediapersons who talk of changing society with a positive outlook. Most talk in terms of the binaries of Brahmins and non-Brahmins, Dalits and OBCs, and so on. They don't address society at large. They address Brahmins and Savarnas. Merely posting newspaper articles on social media won't do. Every incident or news has to be followed up.
(Translated from the original Hindi by Amrish Herdenia)
Forward Press also publishes books on Bahujan issues. Forward Press Books sheds light on the widespread problems as well as the finer aspects of Bahujan (Dalit, OBC, Adivasi, Nomadic, Pasmanda) society, culture, literature and politics.

Greater understanding needed for better cybersecurity, official claims
There's no denying that the U.S. government has a cybersecurity problem. Hackers, both independent and state-sanctioned, pose a serious threat to federal agencies and critical U.S. infrastructure. Their tactics and tools are constantly evolving, resulting in a number of prominent breaches. Recently, for example, a cyberattack struck a major contractor that provides background checks for the Department of Homeland Security. While the exact damage is unknown, government officials theorized that staffers' personal information may have been accessed.
Delivering the keynote address at the Billington Cybersecurity Conference in Washington, Michael Daniel, White House cybersecurity coordinator, suggested that federal cybersecurity efforts typically come up short because government experts fail to understand the nature of the threats they face. New strategies to combat these dangers are necessary, Politico reported.
Cybersecurity issues
According to Daniel, one of the biggest problems is that federal cybersecurity approaches tend to focus solely on the technical side of things, which misses the bigger picture.
"We haven't fully confronted cybersecurity as a human behavior and motivation problem, as opposed to a technical problem," said Daniel, the news source reported. "Until we understand the human factors … we will continue to fail at solving this problem."
Another issue, Daniel explained, is that cybersecurity has become intertwined with politics in many areas. This makes solving cybersecurity challenges more complex. This doesn't mean that it is impossible to secure federal networks and other digital assets, but it does make this task significantly more difficult than it once was.
For example, cybersecurity officials from the United States and China recently met for closed-door talks in Washington, the Washington Times reported. These talks had previously taken the form of formal engagement, but China quickly ended the discussion after the U.S. government indicted Chinese military hackers who were allegedly involved in attacks on U.S. Transportation Command contractors between June 2012 and May 2013. The news source noted that the hackers stole computer source code, emails and a variety of documents during these successful intrusions.
These talks highlight the complexity of the cybersecurity landscape, as well as the need for superior defensive capabilities.
Cybersecurity efforts
Daniel went on to note that the Obama administration will soon reveal a new strategy for engaging with the private sector for cybersecurity solutions. While not offering any real details, Daniel explained that this approach would differ from the traditional contracting model. This new policy will apply to 16 sectors of critical infrastructure.
Regardless of whatever form this new approach takes, it is clear that the government needs to revise and upgrade its approach to cybersecurity, and that third-party assistance will be critical to these efforts. Specifically, federal agencies should look for and partner with firms that have a proven history of delivering cybersecurity solutions in the public sector. These firms can provide a range of services, from training to consulting to auditing, all of which can help to ensure that federal agencies and their employees remain as safe and secure as possible when leveraging digital resources.

P-04-466 Medical Emergency - Preventing the introduction of a poorer Health Service for North Wales
This petition was submitted by Mike Parry, having collected 306 signatures.
Petition text:
We the undersigned call on the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to ensure that the proposals contained within the Betsi Cadwalader University Health Board consultation- "Health Care in North Wales is Changing" does not result in poorer health provision and unnecessary deaths and suffering.
The proposals will have a detrimental effect on most areas of health provision and emergency services and in no way can the proposals be an improvement as is intimated. Already experiencing meltdown, the Health Service in Wales will head towards collapse, if these proposals are implemented in their present formThe current BCUHB consultation proposals in relation to Health Care in North Wales appear to be detrimental to general health provision and the safety of our communities. Accessibility, X-ray provision, Minor Injuries ,Mental Health, the Ambulance Services, the Out of Hours service and the ability of GP's to deliver an integrated service are going to be particularly hard hit by the proposals - as they are diametrically at odds with the Welsh Govt's vision in relation to the documents "Together for Health", "Setting the Direction", and "Delivering Emergency Care Services" - it appears also to be at odds with the "Compact" announced by the Health Minister on the 25th of September 2012.

The world might seem to be very scary but the truth is, it is a very important investment. Read below on the different benefits of having a cold storage refrigeration unit.
One of the benefits of investing in a cold storage unit is that it can be used for other purposes apart from storing perishable goals. One of the reasons why it can be used for other purposes is because you can and does the temperatures because there are features that allow you to do that, meaning that you can store other products especially those that cannot perish and require specific levels of temperature. For items that get affected when there are climatic changes, can be stored in cold storage refrigeration units because you can adjust the temperatures and that is amazing because you can use it for others purposes unlike other units that you may want to invest in.
