Notes on video lecture:
1871: Germany Becomes a Nation
A History of the World since 1300
Jeremy Adelman, Princeton University
Notes taken by Edward Tanguay on December 8, 2015 (go to class or lectures)

French, Protestant, resilience, Iron, outbreaks, United, Sino, politico, Bismarck, neighbors, Prussian, humiliating, muscles, state, Habsburgs, cajoling, economic, local, nation, fragmentation, confederation, England, Napoleon, 20th, rivalry, Bavaria, theater, sacrifice, Berlin, water, industrialists, illusion, decisive, Reichstag, seismic, powerhouses, 19th, Kaiser
Japan ushered in a new age for the Japanese people
but in the course of their expansion began to transform the geo-political theater of East Asia
with tremendous consequences for the 20th century
1894-95: First Sino-Japanese War
became almost like a template of what would happen in the rest of the world
Germany, late 19th century
like Japan, national integration depends on the formation of state power
often in its assertion over neighbors
empire is used as a concept and instrument for nation building
a model of recovering from fragmentation, a collection of feudal statelets,
the remnants of an empire now being brought together over the course of the 19th century
particularly in the wake of the French invasions into Germany during the Napoleonic wars
and in some ways borrowing from Napoleon for examples of legal modernization
like the Japanese
Japan borrowed modern ideas from the United States
Germany borrowed ideas from England and France
consolidating the state, creating an illusion of a shared German space which in some sense had never existed before
but arguments were made to the opposite of this
that Germany was Protestant, while there were actually many Catholics and Jews
Germany had an identity that was somehow counterpoised to the other dominating national identity of Europe, France
became a long-standing conflict
sowed the seeds for the outbreaks in the 20th century
the Habsburgs looked upon the German empire as a threat to their strategic interests
Germany faced challenges that were very close to them
Japan at least had the advantage of being separated by large bodies of water
Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898)
a shrewd and calculating politico
was the strong man of the single regimes of the German confederation of states
managed to promote the idea of a Kaiser, an imperial ruler who would issue his dominion over all of German-speaking peoples from a capital, a national capital, in Berlin
Germans like Japanese, to build nation, relied upon
language campaigns
newspapers, magazines
to transcend the local ideas of Prussia, Bavaria
promoting new business elites
looking for a national market
the birth of emerging industrialists
many of the firms are still the companies that dominate the economic landscape of economic Germany today
also needed a way of cajoling these elites into participating in unification
representation in the national political entities like the national parliament, the Reichstag
local wars
Prussian army became the important instrument for creating a new national model of integration
laid the foundations for a national war with France, 1870-71
this war was decisive
Prussia spanked the French
it was a deeply humiliating war for the French
put the French national identities into another one of its seismic crises
emboldened the idea that the Prussian military could pull the German nation together
a decisive moment of unification for the new German nation
after 1871, Germany began to consolidate more and more led but Bismarck
first Chancellor Bismarck
power radiating out to a unified Germany from Berlin
the system of Iron and Blood
iron = exemplified the toughness and resilience of the new nation
blood = sacrifice
unification of Germany altered the power balance of Europe
created a new model of territorial rivalry inside the heart of Europe
with much more lethal potential
Germany and Japan almost like echoes of each other
phenomenal examples of the power of nationalism to construct new state systems that could use its resources at the expense of old systems adjacent to them
political, military, and economic powerhouses
not unlike a teenage boy who returns to school from summer vacation grown and all bulked up with muscles, as the French and the Chinese were to discover
Vocabulary:
politico, n. a politician whose conduct is guided by considerations of policy rather than principle ⇒ "Otto von Bismarck, a shrewd and calculating politico who was the strong man of the strongest, single regimes of the German confederation of states, Prussia, was able to promote the idea of a Kaiser, an imperial ruler who would issue his dominion over all of German-speaking peoples from a capital, a national capital, in Berlin."
Spelling Corrections:
echos ⇒ echoes
Ideas and Concepts:
From the historical parallels department via this morning's History Since 1300 class: "In the mid to late nineteenth century, Germany and Japan were almost like echoes of each other, two phenomenal examples of the power of nationalism to construct a new state system that could use its resources at the expense of old systems adjacent to it, both countries now a political, military, and economic powerhouse, which, not unlike a teenage boy who returns to school from summer vacation all grown up and bulked out with muscles, each was poised to alter the power relationships among his peers, which the French and the Chinese were soon to discover."

Chris Harvie's 1814 Year of Waverley guides you through Scott's life and exciting times including Scott's career in Edinburgh and the Borders, as invalid, schoolboy, lawyer, translator, his first successes as a ballad-collector and poet – backgrounded by the French and industrial revolutions. This packed little book guides the reader round Waverley's plot and sets it against Scott's own times. Scott's books rapidly overran Europe and the stage - particularly the romantic opera, and they have an American role: Mark Twain said he caused the Civil War. More sensible folk saw his books as screenplays in print. With maps, Scoular Anderson's cartoons and the magic of QR access to virtual Scott-land on the web, see how the scenes and dilemmas of Scott's characters still matter today!

As the protests continue in Iranian cities for the fifth day in a row, clashes between the security forces and the protesters led to the rise of the death toll to 20.
The death toll, on Monday, rose to 20; 17 demonstrators and three security men.
In the first official announcement of the deaths among security forces during the wave of protests, Iranian news agencies reported that a policeman was killed and three others were wounded by a bullet fired by a demonstrator in the city of Najafabad in Isfahan province.
The demonstrator reportedly used a hunting rifle in his attack.
According to information received by the Al Arabiya, five protesters were killed in the city of Qahdregan, the province of Isfahan, central Iran.
According to some reformist and fundamentalist news sources, the clashes occurred when protesters tried to break into the city hall's building.
The IRNA news agency reported the killing of a security man in the city of Najafabad, in Isfahan district during clashes with protesters.
Some unconfirmed reports published by sites close to former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad say that the number of people killed in the city are two men from the Revolutionary Guard.
Given the previous death toll from Iranian protesters according to official statistics, the number of the lost protestors has risen to 17.

htmlspecialchars/htmlentities only accepts string to be escaped.
Accept array and escape all elements when array is passed to them.
What about all the other functions that take a string? add[c]slashes, bin2hex, md5, trim, [raw]urlencode... And what about html_entity_decode and htmlspecialchars_decode?
I can take care of them also.
I also notice that current  php_html_entities implementation is not optimal.
It can take 1st parameter as zval and convert int/float simply to string.
I think this is the exact wrong way to solve the problem. Very rarely do you want to actually just do a "blind escape" of a bunch of variables. Instead, you need to know the context they will be used in. By accepting strings only, these security sensitive functions encourage you to use them exactly at the point of output, and hence in a contextual manner.
Instead, if you allow escaping arbitrary elements (arrays, objects, etc) then the contextual guarantees disappear, as well as pushing the escaping further from the point of output. This makes it harder to actually verify and reduces the overall security.
Not to mention that it makes the API a lot harder to follow and a lot more "magic". Both of which are clear negatives on a security sensitive API.
I can understand your argument very well. Output security depends on "output context".
This change is intended to escape relatively large number of variable at once. For example, HTML tables that have a lot of variables. The objective is not for improving security, but performance.
We should balance security and performance/usability. Since I'm going to add array parameter support for conversion functions, we need to consider consistency also.
I'll create RFC for this.
It will make situation better, but not enough.
I'm looking for optimization on IoT devices that took more than 10 sec to generate log report page by PHP. More than half of time is took by htmlspecialchars() and do the best htmlspecialchars() can do.


Now days the word Ayurveda is almost known to everyone and is the oldest science serving the humanity till from the beginning of life on this earth. Through the present clinical trial a small effort is made to prove the above words. This clinical study helps to reduce the pain felt by every woman during labour. This study aims to reduce the intensity and duration of the labour pain and also the incidence of caesarean & forceps application during delivery. The study has great positive effects on the phenomenon of labour. Aacharya Charaka mentioned Anuvaasana basti & picchu of taila treated with dravyas of madhura gana in the ninth month of pregnancy for Sukh-Prasava. The trial was done by the two murchit tailas by madhura gana named Balyam-1 and Balyam-2 (Kalpit yoga). The patients (Primigravida) were selected randomly in Group-A and Group- B, which were given Anuvaasana basti fortenightly & Picchu applied daily till delivery with Balayam-1 & Balayam-2 taila respectively. The group treated with Balyam-2 taila had shown better results by reducing effectively standard mean duration in the first stage of labour as compared with Balyam-1 taila.
Keywords: Picchu, Anuvasana Basti, Balyam Taila, Labor.

Justia Patents US Patent for Tongue thrust corrective device Patent (Patent # 4,997,182)
Tongue thrust corrective device
An oral appliance adapted to redirect improper positioning of the tongue and lips at the start of a swallow comprises a molded body of acrylic or similar material having an arcuate marginal segment curved to contact the occlusal surfaces of teeth of the upper dental arch, an upper tongue positioning segment and a lower tongue positioning segment. The marginal segment has thin, substantially flat and relatively wide upper side surfaces that are separated to span a prescribed range of dental arches. The upper side surfaces are tightly engaged to the side teeth by a shaped layer of light activated resin for retention while the wearer is active or at rest. The lower tongue positioning segment forms an inclined channel below the marginal segment with a posteriorly facing entrance for receiving the inferior surface of the anterior portion of the tongue and the upper tongue positioning segment forms a channel above the marginal segment with a posteriorly facing entrance for receiving the superior surface of the anterior portion of the tongue. An aperture formed in the upper tongue positioning segment directs the apex of the tongue into contact with the curved aspect of the anterior palate and soft tissue.
The invention relates to oral corrective appliances and more particularly to devices adapted to correct tongue thrust problems.
In normal swallowing as described in the article "Radiographic Study of Movements of the Tongue in Swallowing" by G. M. Adrian et al. appearing in The Dental Practitioner, Vol. V No. 8, April, 1955 at pages 252-261, the tip of the tongue is positioned against the anterior curved surface of the palate just behind the upper anterior dentition. The superior surface of the tongue is then elevated upwards and backwards against the hard palate. When the front of the tongue is raised at the start of the swallow the arched dorsal surface is lowered and the forepart of the soft palate is depressed and bowed forward into the mouth cavity. A seal is thereby maintained between the tongue and palate. If the tongue tip is held too far forward and too low in the mouth as swallowing begins, it is thrust forward against or between the backs of the front teeth. The substantial force exerted on the teeth during poor swallowing often causes an abnormal repositioning of the front teeth and surrounding bone. An habitual incorrect placement of the tongue when swallowing, i.e., tongue thrust, may cause a serious problem such as anterior open bite.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,478,742 issued to E. H. Bohlmann Nov. 18, 1969 discloses an orthodontic multipurpose repositioner and oral habit conditioner comprising a molded plastic support, guard and barrier device fitted between the teeth of a patient for tooth, lip and tongue positioning. The device has sockets to receive the upper and lower teeth, extension parts for lip positioning and a barrier to prevent insertion of a thumb into the mouth and/or protrusion of the tongue between the teeth. A tongue guide extending upwardly along the roof of the mouth carries electrodes to repel the tongue downward by galvanic action which stimulates reflex tongue movement. The tongue tip, however, is deflected downward. But as stated in the aforementioned article, the ideal position is against the anterior bend of the hard palate behind the front teeth.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,871,370 issued to L. E. McDonald Mar. 18, 1975 discloses a tongue thrust correction appliance positionable in a patient's mouth. The appliance has an upper jaw engaging structure including two laterally spaced elements and a shelf-like plate. The plate is integrally molded with the laterally spaced elements for suspension across the interior of the mouth in spaced relationship to the roof of the mouth. Each of the laterally spaced elements is provided with surface conformations that enhance retentive engagement with the jaw. The lateral spaced elements maintain the plate in suspended relationship for support of the endmost portion of the tongue on the upper surface of the plate. Tongue movement is thereby and restricted to a predetermined position against the roof of the mouth during swallowing. The tongue tip, however, may fall below the shelf-like plate so that neither proper positioning nor proper physiologic posture is assured at the start of the swallow.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,718,662 issued to R. B. North Jan. 12, 1988 discloses a tongue positioning and exercising device having an outer marginal area for clenched retention between upper and lower teeth. Tongue supporting members extend inwardly and upwardly from the marginal area to position the tongue properly with the tongue tip in contact with the upper alveolar ridge of the gum. Openings permit passage of saliva through the device. Projections on a modified form of the device cause tongue discomfort if the tongue is improperly located below the device. The device, however, requires clenched retention so that normal mouth opening is not possible.
"Bone Remodeling Orthodontics by Jaw Repositioning and Alveolar Growth" by Leon Kussick Copyrighted 1987 by Quintessence Publishing Co. Inc., Chicago, Ill. discloses at page 244 an acrylic maxillary removable tongue thrust retraining appliance having an assembly of Adams clasps arranged for retention, a labial arch wire positioned to retract flared maxillary anteriors and a lingual strengthening wire adapted to the patient. The assembly is formed individually for each patient. Portions of the assembly that should not have acrylic are blocked out by an appropriate material. Acrylic is then poured to provide an anterior tongue channel so to direct the tongue to a hole cut in the anterior part of the palatal acrylic. In primary dentition, retention can be provided by occlusal acrylic extended around buccal teeth. Clasps as used in the aforementioned appliance are subject to deformation. In all cases, the devices are constructed from impressions made for individual patients.
In order to fabricate any of the foregoing tongue thrust retraining appliances for an individual patient, it is necessary to take impressions of and construct models of the individual patient's mouth. A mold for the appliance is then prepared from the models and the molded appliance is fitted to the mouth of the patient. The process is time consuming and requires expert care at each step. It is an object of the invention to provide an improved tongue thrust retraining device readily adapted to fit a wide range of patients without requiring impressions and models in its preparation. It is a further object of the invention to provide an improved tongue thrust retraining device which is adapted to simulate the physiological aspects of proper swallowing.
The invention is directed to an appliance adapted to redirect improper positioning of the tongue and lips at the start of a swallow commonly known as tongue thrust habit. The appliance comprises a body of acrylic or similar material having an arcuate marginal segment curved to contact the occlusal surfaces of teeth of the upper dental arch. The marginal segment has a substantially flat and relatively wide upper surface that spans a prescribed range of dental arches. A tongue positioning segment includes a lower member that forms an inclined channel below the marginal segment with a posteriorly facing entrance for receiving the inferior surface of the anterior portion of the tongue and an upper member that forms a channel above the marginal segment with a posteriorly facing entrance for receiving the superior surface of the anterior portion of the tongue. An aperture formed in the upper member of the tongue positioning segment directs the tip of the tongue into contact with the anterior curved aspect of the palate and soft tissue.
According to one aspect of the invention, the device is prefabricated to fit a prescribed range of dental arches and the wide upper surface of the marginal segment is retained on the upper lateral or buccal dentition of a particular patient having a dental arch within the prescribed range.
According to another aspect of the invention, the front facing portion of the marginal segment is relieved and sloped forward and downward below incisal edges of the anterior teeth of the upper jaw and extends forward over the anterior dentition of the lower jaw to prevent the lower lip from engaging behind already flared upper front teeth. The upper anterior teeth are then free to drop downward and backward.

A tongue thrust retraining device illustrating the invention is shown in perspective in FIG. 1. FIGS. 2 through 5 show various views of the device. Referring to these figures, the device comprises a body 10 constructed of acrylic or like plastic material. The body 10 has a generally planar marginal member 13 curved to conform to the line of the posterior dentition of the upper jaw. After adaptation to provide proper fit and retention in the mouth of a particular patient as shown in FIG. 5, marginal member 13 is removably retained by the posterior dentition e.g. 91, 92, 93 of the upper jaw. The patient may open and close his or her mouth in normal fashion while wearing the corrective device. Member 13 is relatively thin, e.g. 3 to 5 mm, so that the resting length of the lower jaw muscles is not exceeded. Marginal member 13 includes left side section 15, front section 17 and right side section 20. The side sections 15 and 20 are relatively wide as shown in the top plan view of FIG. 2 to meet the posterior biting surfaces of the upper dentition of a wide range of mouths. These side sections are also relatively flat so that the device may be fitted on and removably retained by the side teeth of the upper jaw of a wide range of patients as will be described. Front section 17 projects forward to the incisal edges of the upper front teeth 51 in FIG. 5 to prevent contact between the lingual aspect of the upper anterior teeth and the lower lip while swallowing or at rest. For patients with flared upper front teeth, front section 17 may be sloped to extend over the lower front dentition to the plane of the incisal edges of the flared teeth 51 as indicated in FIG. 5.
As shown in the sectional view of FIG. 3, The device has a tongue directing segment which comprises lower ramp member 23 below the marginal member 13 and upper ramp member 33 above marginal member 13. Ramp 23 is angled backward and downward from the bottom of front section 17 of marginal member 13 and the palatal bridge of ramp 33 is angled backward and upward from front section 17. Ramp member 23 may, for example, be 6 mm thick at its intersection with marginal member 13 and may taper down to a thickness of 2 mm. These ramp 23 and 33 channel the tongue tip to the proper position for initiating normal swallowing. Upper ramp 33 has an aperture 37 therein which is located adjacent to the curved aspect of the palate anterior bend of the palate when inserted in a patient's mouth. The shape of aperture 37 is such that it accommodates the apex of the tongue and may vary from that shown in the top plan view of FIG. 2. Aperture 37 is made large enough, e.g. 10 mm, so that the tip of the tongue engages the soft palatal tissue. Lower ramp 23 is adapted to guide the inferior and lateral surfaces of the anterior portion of the tongue upward during forward movement. Narrow upper ramp 33 constrains the superior anterior surface of the tongue so that the apex thereof is led into aperture 37 during swallowing and other activity involving forward tongue movement. Lower ramp member 23 extends through the marginal member above front portion 17 to intersect upper ramp member 33 at the lower edge of aperture 37. This extension of ramp 23 assures that the tongue apex is directed through the aperture as the tongue moves forward and is guided by lower ramp 23 and upper ramp 33. The tactile contact between the tongue tip and the palatal soft tissue has a stenotaxic locating effect.
Lower ramp member 23 extends below marginal member 13 and comprises front portion 41, left side portion 44 and right side portion 47 as indicated in the rear elevational view of FIG. 4. Side portion 44 extends downward from the lower side of inner edge 26 of the marginal member left section 15. Front portion 41 extends downward from the lower side of inner edge 31 of marginal member front section 17 and side portion 47 extends downward from the lower side of inner edge 29 of marginal member right section 20. Front portion 41 and side portions 44 and 47 are angled toward the midline of the lingual aspect of the anterior segment of the lower jaw. Portions 41, 44 and 47 form a generally concave guide for the inferior anterior aspect of the tongue. The rear lower edge formed by lower ramp portions 41, 44 and 47 is generally arc shaped for relief of the restricted lower lingual frenum and to provide a possible resting position for a patient with a finger sucking habit. As is readily seen in the side sectional view of FIG. 3, the ramp shape of member 23 and the extension of the lower ramp through marginal member 13 to aperture 37 allows the tongue to be guided to a proper initial swallowing position. According to the invention, the structure of ramp 23 does not require conscious selection of the upper side of a horizontal shelf-like support structure. Further, it is impossible to avoid the tongue guiding channels in swallowing so that there is no need for the artificial repelling action of sharp protrusions or electrical elements to maintain the tongue in its proper position to initiate rapid swallowing.
Upper ramp member 33 above marginal member 13 extends upward from the upper side of inner edge 26, the upper side of inner edge 29 and the upper side of inner edge 31 as shown in the top view of FIG. 2 and the rear elevational view of FIG. 4. Member 33 has aperture 37 located so that the tongue apex is directed therethrough to the proper position for initiating a normal swallow. The arch above aperture 37 is relatively narrow so as not to restrict the normal elevation and distal thrust of the dorsal aspect of the tongue during swallowing.
Device 10 as shown in FIG. 5 is usually held in place by the posterior crown undercuts deciduous molars or bicuspids. The device is prefabricated for swallowing problem patients having a dental arches of various sizes. Ramp members 23 and 33 are relatively narrow in width so as to fit a patient with a narrow dental arch. Side members 15 and 20 are relatively wide so that the device may be removably attached to patients having dental arches within a prescribed range. A section 81 on the lower surface of front section 17 of marginal member 13 contacts lower anterior dentition. The inferior or lower surfaces of sides 15 and 20 of marginal member 13 have similar sections 83 and 85 in contact with posterior dentition of the mandibular arch. Sections 81, 83 and 85 are adjusted to provide three simultaneous points of contact for stable positioning of the device in the closed mouth of the wearer. The lower ramp 23 fits freely within the lower jaw while the three contact sections on the bottom of marginal member 13 provide the aforementioned stable contact with the dentition of the lower jaw.
Several arrangements may be used to provide removable retention for dental arches over such a range. In one arrangement, a light activated resin such as TRIAD gel made by Densply of York, Pa. is placed on the upper surfaces of sides 15 and 20 of marginal member 13. The device as depicted in FIGS. 2-5 with the light activated resin thereon is placed in the patient's mouth and pressed against the upper posterior dental arch. The resin is thereby shaped for retention by the anatomy of the dentition of the upper arch and partially set. When the device is removed, the resin is fully cured. After curing, the added resin bonds to the upper surfaces of sections 15 and 20 and is shaped to be retained by the upper buccal dentition. Upon reinsertion for use, device 10 with the added shaped resin is removably retained on the posterior teeth of the upper jaw. A quick setting acrylic may also be used for the same purpose. Tab 32 on front section 17 of the marginal member permits manipulation of device 10 during the formation of the removable retentive layer.
Prior art tongue thrust training appliances have been fabricated by making a cast from an impression of a patient's mouth and a wax bite for orientation. The device is then formed by means of a molding process. As is well known, such a process generally requires the services of a professional well versed in the field of orthodontics as well as highly skilled dental laboratory personnel. It is time consuming and costly and major adjustments in the mouth are often necessary to obtain a suitable fit. In accordance with the invention, the device of FIG. 1 is not formed for a particular patient but is prefabricated to fit a wide range of mouths. The spacing between the inner edge 26 of left section 15 and the inner edge 29 of right section 20 is dimensioned to fit into the narrowest mouth of a prescribed range while the widths of sections 15 and 20 are dimensioned to accommodate the location of upper dentition expected in the prescribed range. There is no need for highly skilled personnel to produce a properly fitting appliance. Thus, the appliance and process of fitting the appliance is more economical.
FIG. 6 shows a vertical sectional view of a patient's mouth with the device inserted therein that is taken along the medial center line of the device. In FIG. 6, device 10 previously fitted for a particular patient as aforementioned is shown removably engaged with the teeth in the maxillary arch and supported by contact with teeth in the mandibular arch. The undercuts of the buccal aspect of side teeth 90, 92 and 93 on the left side of the maxillary arch (not shown) retain side 15 of marginal member 13 as shown in FIG. 5. Retention of device 10 is accomplished by means of a closely adapted material such as light activated resin or acrylic above the upper surface of side 15.
Front portion 17 of the marginal member extends between upper anterior teeth 51 and lower anterior teeth 53 while swallowing. Portion 17 slopes downward to allow relief from upper anterior teeth so that they may erupt as they drift backward and downward. Lower ramp 23 redirects the apex 96 of the tongue 98 lingually and upwardly towards the bend of the anterior palate. The apex 96 of tongue 98 is thereby prevented from contacting anterior teeth 51 and 53. According to the invention, the angle of the lower ramp is set so that the device does not cause discomfort or interferes with desired normal jaw closure or tongue movements.
The superior anterior surface of the tongue is guided by upper arch 33 so that the tongue apex 96 the tongue is directed through aperture 37. The tongue apex is thereby put into contact with the anterior bend of the palate for normal swallowing. When the contained tongue and its apex is guided to its initial normal swallowing position, the normal physiological events can proceed without any interference from the device. Advantageously, the device prevents unwanted force between the tongue tip 96 and any anterior teeth 51 or 53 or between upper anterior teeth 51 and surrounding bone and the lower lip 71.
The narrow arch of upper ramp member 33 which is spaced from the palate to avoid tissue irritation allows the upper dorsal aspect of the tongue to elevate itself to rest against the open palate area during normal swallowing. Lower ramp 23 is substantially parallel to the lingual aspect of the mandibular arch so that it does not interfere with normal jaw movement. Ramp 23 in close proximity but spaced from the tissue of the mandibular arch to avoid tissue irritation. The prefabricated construction of the device conforms to the physiological needs of the patient and is comfortable to wear. Most patients who receive treatment utilizing the device are between the ages of seven and twelve. The treatment, however, is effective for children as young as three and may be used throughout adulthood.

The Holy Grail made its first literary visual appeal within the paintings of the twelfth-century French poet, Chr?tien de Troyes, and maintains to fascinate authors and audiences alike. This examine, supported through a theoretical framework in accordance with the psychoanalytic works of Jacques Lacan and the cultural conception of Slavoj Zizek, goals to strip the legend of a lot of the mythological and folkloric organization that it has obtained over the centuries, arguing that the Grail could be learn as a symptom of disruption and obscurity instead of fulfilment and revelation. concentrating on thirteenth-century Arthurian prose romances, l. a. Queste del Saint Graal and Perlesvaus, and drawing broadly at the wider box of previous French Grail literature together with the works of Chr?tien and Robert de Boron, the e-book examines the non-public, social and textual results produced through encounters with the Grail with the intention to recommend that the Grail itself is instrumental not just in developing but in addition in nerve-racking, the discursive, psychic and cultural bonds which are represented during this complicated and appealing literary culture.

92. NEW DISCOURSE OF THE GRAIL 21 The third chapter begins by considering how the body is critically implicated in notions of sin. As a site of sexuality the body can be the cause of sin, specifically the sin of 'luxure' ['lust'] against which the Queste inveighs so bitterly; the body can also represent the site at which that sin is inscribed, as is seen in the early medieval ordeal by fire/water; it is also the means of absolving oneself of that sin with the performance of corporal penance. Sin (and its remission) is reconfigured and relocated during the early thirteenth century; no longer tied wholly to the body, sin now comes to be conceived of as a specifically linguistic concept.

As part of the HHHunt Communities blog, we love sharing our tips about how wonderful it is to live in our master-planned communities. Whether it's inspiration for home décor, ideas for entertaining in your home, great recipes, or more, we want our blog to be a resource for you and your family.
We're excited to share that we will be posting fun quizzes on our blog every other month for you to take and share online. We would love to see your results by sharing them with us on our Facebook and Twitter pages by using the hashtag #HowYouLive. So without further ado, we hope that you enjoy this quiz on finding out which kitchen style you are!


When you're ready to quit smoking and start vaping, the hundreds of options can be overwhelming. For beginners, it's easy to plunk down a few hundred dollars or more.
And, then, what if you aren't happy with it? Or, after finding your beginner kit, it's not the best fit for what you need.
Then, you've got yourself a cool-looking paperweight. And, you're still on the cigarettes.
Before you decide on how to start vaping the right way, take a look at how to buy a vape. We've put together a guide for beginners.
The are three necessary parts of a vape pen: A battery for power, a coil which heats up to produce the vapor, and the cartridge or tank which holds the liquid.
If you are vaping for the taste, a host of flavored liquids are available. For those who want to vape to quit cigarettes, nicotine liquids are available.
Nicotine salt comes in higher values for those wanting full flavor. The salt type liquid has more organic materials than the regular juice.
Many vapers say it is smoother and stronger than common nicotine juices. For those wanting higher nicotine amounts, keep in mind vaping is much different than cigarettes.
Each cigarette lasts a few minutes, but a vaping device works anytime. So, some smokers end up taking in too much.
This can cause nausea, vomiting, headaches, and lasts a good while. The overload can sometimes be a reason they go back to smoking.
Be careful when you first start. Learn more from the experts on keeping safe from overdoing it.
For those who have experience, they find their favorites. And, there are options along the way including waxes and dry herbs, too. Once you get your vape on, you can branch out, also.
A starter set should have the pen, batteries or charger, and your choice of coils. And, there's a good variety of options. Prices can range from $25 to a couple of hundred depending on your budget and taste.
The best advice is to choose what's best for how you will vape. For example, if you are considering vaping to quit cigarettes, you want an ample dose of smoke (vapor).
Smokers tend to be more satisfied with the back-of-the-throat experience. But, those who are vaping more for pleasure may not have an interest in giant clouds and scratchy throat.
The amount of vapor comes from the coil part of the device. The type of coil determines the amount of draw you'll get from the device.
So, for those who prefer a more massive amount of vape mist, they'll want a make sure the product matches. Some beginner kits allow you to choose the coil.
Keep in mind with regular vape usage; you'll be replacing the coil every 1-2 weeks. So, take a look at replacement costs when deciding on the beginner set.
Many experts will tell you that pens are best for beginners. They are light and can fit in a pocket, so they're convenient.
And, they are a no-brainer for ease of use. Mods have more to figure out.
They are a bit more complex but are also more powerful. And, more durable. So, they are a bit pricier, too.
Many who prefer mods have made their way to them after using a pen for some time.
Vaping to replace cigarettes might point to convenience, too. There is an important reason to get a pen or mod you can take anywhere.
If you leave batteries or other components at home, the more likely you'll stop for a pack of cigarettes.
So, find the model that is easiest for you to pack up when you leave the house.
Once you've found the right fit, use these tips rather than making some common noob mistakes.
If you are starting off with a pen, you'll soon find they get dropped. And kicked, or jostled around in the car.
Keep quality in mind, too. The good ones can take some bumps and keep going.
There are scores of choices, and learning how to buy a vape is all about thoughtful shopping.
Check blogs from those with experience, and learn more from sellers where you can.

Cookies, sombrero and a shoe shine: Even reporters give pope gifts
by CNS
Pope Francis tries on a sombrero while meeting journalists aboard his flight to Havana Feb. 12. Traveling to Mexico for a six-day visit, the pope is stopping briefly in Cuba to meet with Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill of Moscow at the Havana airport. (CNS photo/Paul Haring)
by Cindy Wooden
ABOARD THE PAPAL FLIGHT TO HAVANA (CNS) — Making his 12th trip abroad, Pope Francis was accustomed to collecting interview requests, notes and gifts from the journalists who travel on the plane with him.
But his flight to Cuba Feb. 12 had a unique moment. Noel Diaz, who lives in Los Angeles and was covering the trip for ESNE — a Catholic radio and television network — asked the pope if he could shine his shoes "in memory of all those people who struggle daily to put bread on their tables."
Diaz told the pope that when he was growing up in Tijuana, Mexico, his mother told him he would have to delay his first Communion because she could not afford to buy him black pants and a white shirt. Although not quite 8 years old, Diaz said he went out with a shoe-shine box to earn the money for the clothes and was able to receive his first Communion with his peers.
The pope reluctantly conceded to Diaz, and the man knelt in the aisle of the plane and brushed the pope's shoe. Then he gave the pope a shoe-shine kit.
Valentina Alazraki, a correspondent for the Mexican Televisa and the journalist who has done the most papal trips, gave the pope a large sombrero decorated with his coat of arms, his image and the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Alazraki had given similar hats to St. John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI when she traveled with them to her homeland. The pope put the sombrero on briefly and smiled for the cameras.
Nestor Ponguta Puerto, a radio journalist from Colombia, gave Pope Francis two golden bags of Colombia's finest coffee and asked the pope when he would visit the South American country. If talks between the government and opposition groups continue and a peace treaty is signed, the pope said, "I will go next year."
The pope also received a white rose, a box of homemade chocolate chip cookies and a brand new zucchetto or scullcap. He put it on his head for a few minutes, then gave it back to the TV correspondent as a souvenir.
As is his custom at the beginning of a trip, Pope Francis thanked the traveling press corps and semi-apologized for the crazy hours they would work in Cuba Feb. 12 and in Mexico through Feb. 17.
"The schedule is full," he said.
Although the planned stop of three-and-a-half hours in Cuba complicated matters, Pope Francis told reporters the meeting there with the head of the Russian Orthodox Church "was very much desired by my brother [Patriarch] Kirill and me."
And speaking of Mexico, Pope Francis said, "My greatest desire is to pause" in front of the tilma, the cloak bearing the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
The tilma "is a mystery that is studied and studied, but there are no human explanations" for how the image was produced, the pope said. "It's something of God."
Before greeting each member of the media one by one, Pope Francis publicly thanked Alberto Gasparri, the main papal trip organizer who has worked at the Vatican 46 years and is about to retire.

On this date in 1943, French resistance heroine France Bloch-Serazin was executed by the Germans in Hamburg.
Bloch-Serazin English Wikipedia entry | French) was a Jewish Communist who had supported the Spanish Republican cause, so she was right in line for some official persecution after the Germans blitzed France.
Arrested by French police on May 16, 1942, she was condemned to death by a German military court but deported to Germany to suffer that punishment. Her husband, Fredo Serazin, was subsequently murdered by the Gestapo in prison.
As France Bloch-Serazin was born in 1913, she has recently enjoyed a renewed appreciation around the centennial of her birth, including the homage (French link) of her native city of Poitiers.


It's a tough day when a guy has to sit down and think about what he wants to pursue. Should I grab a few minnows and chase a walleye dinner, or do I go for a fat muskie? Do I don a camo pattern and sit in a tree with my bow, or should I grab a shotgun and try to knock something out of the air? It's a tough choice. Luckily, I can't lose. No matter the final decision, I'm a winner either way. Fall is in the air. If you love the outdoors, there is no better time than right now.
I just so happen to be one of those crazy outdoor fools. It's no secret that I have a passion for muskies. It consumes most every minute of my life. I'm an addict no doubt, but I do love a few other things too. Last week I snuck out with my dad and fishin' buddies for a fresh walleye dinner. My first cast rewarded me with a nice 26 incher. Too large to eat, but it wasn't the only catch and my belly was soon full.
Prior to my walleye outing I shared a shotgun experience with longtime hunting partner Sean Bailey. Dove's were our target and we were dialed in. The morning flight brought hot barrels to our shotguns and before we knew it, we had a limit of tasty birds on the ground. My first hunting experience of the year couldn't have gone any better. The limit of birds was one thing. Sipping a hot cup of coffee in the field with a great hunting companion is another. In my world, it doesn't get any better!
Does my arrow fly true? I won't claim Robin Hood status, but after the past few weeks, I am once again confident in my skills. Sure the mosquitos are out, but the elevation keeps most of them away. Putting myself in a position to outsmart a whitetail brings a rush that is unexplainable. I was reminded about this rush when the first of 4 deer walked under my stand last night. If I wasn't ready for hunting season before, I sure am now.
With each fall day a new story is made. Thanks to my life on the water, I get to share many of them with others. There is no such thing as a bad day of fishing. However, sharing in the experience isn't always a good thing for others. Such is the case with Jeff. A fisherman that has no choice but to admit to his family that he is addicted to chasing muskies. This past friday marked our third trip of the year. Lucky for me, he is now three for three! What he doesn't know is that this feeling of excitement never goes away. This addiction has only just begun. This addiction and all the rest that come with it remind me why I am blessed to live in the land of 10,000 lakes. Fall is in the air. Are you making the most of it? It will be gone before we know it. Until next time, keep livin' the dream!

Q: Why isn't the SQLiteOpenHelper called just SQLiteHelper? The documentation describes the class as a helper object to create, open, and/or manage a database. Having that in mind wouldn't you say that the name is a little misleading?

A: Because it doesn't help you to do EVERYTHING with database (as SQLiteHelper supposed to do). It helps only to open/manage database connection.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/sqlite/SQLiteOpenHelper.html

A: I think calling it SQLiteHelper would be more misleading as this might encourage people to write their queries and data manipulation inside this class. This classes primary role is db creation, upgrading and opening.

Glockcomma - Brian Enos's Forums... Maku mozo!
Being "unarmed" doesn't always mean being unarmed.
Their are at least 3 matches every month close to Salem.
For my STI 9mm I load 7.0gr AutoComp at 1.155 OAL, you will probably be loading to 1.145 OAL so you should be in the ball park.
I have the Lightning Strike plungers in all my Glock match guns. Not because of weight and I hate Ti for most applications but because of the profile, they are a little more rounded and provide less resistance so are a little smoother. You can round off and polish your plunger I'm just lazy.
A friend of mine knows the guys over at Hornady really well, and it is Zombies.
Don't go to 231 it's close to Bullseye, go with Silhouette, AutoComp or even WSF. I don't know how good those +20% extractor springs are I'd use a new factory and like others have said loose the Spingco.
He has been sick for a long time but when ever a new product came out he knew the public trusted him so much that if he didn't present it it wouldn't do near as well. So in spite of his health and being filthy rich he enjoyed what 3 weeks of retirement before his demise. RIP Steve.
Thanks guys I'm very proud of him, I know I'm jumping the gun a little he is still officially a recruit, 4 weeks to go. A pimp with twins?
My son joined the Marines after graduating H.S. and is boot camp right now, I just received a letter informing me that he qualified as Expert.
I have a full size steel gun for SS, I don't shoot it that often but it's been a great gun. 100% reliable and reasonably accurate.
I've used a G22 a G24 and a G35 and far prefer the G35.
Mount for C-More on Ruger MK III?
I made my own to mount the slide ride at 90 degrees, but I wanted a low cost practice gun similar to my open guns. The Allchin and a slide ride is a great set up for steel.

Plays Beach Boys

Brian Wilson and Al Jardine
Genius is a term that is used pretty loosely these days. People like Oprah Winfrey to Mark Zuckerberg to Banksy, have all been called genius.
Sure, all have made their mark in their respective fields and are smart business people. But genius?
Hearing the music, arrangements, and harmonies of The Beach Boys on Wednesday evening at Goodyear Theater by the man who wrote and arranged all of it, Brian Wilson, I couldn't help but think that everyone in attendance was in the presence of a true genius.
Wilson, along with founding Beach Boy member Al Jardine and a great ten-piece backing band are still out playing this timeless music.
Time, drugs and mental issues may have gotten the best of Brian Wilson, but his legacy is still intact.
Seated center stage behind a piano, Wilson opened the show with "California Girls" and proceeded to bang out hit after hit like, "I Get Around," "Little Duce Coupe" and "Help Me, Rhonda."
Brian did not move from his seat from center stage and did not interact with the audience very much besides stating the song title after it was played. If he was not singing a particular song, the seventy-nine year old sometimes seemed to lose interest. However, when it was his turn to sing, he was back into it.
Early in the show Wilson told the audience, "This is the first song I ever wrote," as the band launched into "Surfer Girl."
Long time friend and bandmate, Al Jardine commented after that song, "Brian's arrangement is beautiful. It's really remarkable if you think about it. Yeah, Brian!"
It was then Jardine's turn to sing lead on "Wake The World" which segued into the Brian led "Add Some Music To Your Day."
Jardine's son, Matt took over the difficult job of Carl Wilson by singing lead on "Don't Worry Baby." The audience responded by giving him a standing ovation, to which he pointed to Wilson and said, "The master wrote it!"
Half way through the set, former Beach Boy member, Blondie Chaplin came out to play guitar and sing songs from his era of the band.
His three song set included: "Feel Flows," "Long Promised Road" and my personal favorite "Sail On, Sailor" which saw Blondie play a great, extended solo at the end.
Jardine then stated it was time to do the Pet Sounds portion of the show as the band went into "Wouldn't It Be Nice," "Sloop John B" and "God Only Knows."
The twenty-nine song set came to a close with "Barbara Ann" "Surfin' USA," "Fun Fun Fun," and his own solo tune, "Love and Mercy."
All of those songs and all of that great music came out of one individual over a ten year period.
Not only is he a genius. He is an American treasure.
Thank you, Brian Wilson.


The Vigeland Sculpture Park is the world's largest sculpture park made by a single artist. The eccentric Norwegian artist Gustav Vigeland dedicated his life creating it. He worked on this project from 1924 until his death in 1943.
When the city of Oslo gave him a building where he could live and work, Gustav Vigeland made a promise to donate all his works to the city. His home and studio later became the Vigeland Museum. His ashes are still preserved there, in the tower of the museum, as he requested.
Gustav Vigeland modeled all the 212 sculptures in full size by himself. He left the work of carving in stone and casting in bronze to talented craftsmen. He was also in charge of the design and architectural layout of the park.
The Vigeland Sculpture Park is divided into five main units: Main Entrance, The Bridge, The Fountain, The Monolith Plateau and The Wheel of Life. His sculptures represent the relationships between man and woman, adults and children, birth and death. The inescapable circle of life.
The park is one of Oslo's most popular tourist attractions. The locals love it too. The Norwegians love to spend time outside. The entrance is free, and the park is open 24h all year round. Despite all the visitors this park is one of the cleanest I have ever visited.

Q: Select only a subset of an Entities Collection If I have a Entity which contains a @OneToMany, using JPA How do I select the entity and only a subset of the related children? I cannot use the @Where or @Filter annotations.
More Details
I am translating our Business model into something more general so don't worry about the example not making sense IRL. But the Query has lots (more than this example) of left join fetch cases. Friend has no relations and just a string name.
@Entity
public class Parent {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    private int parentId;

    @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
    @JoinColumn(name = "friendId")
    private Friend friends;

    @OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, mappedBy = "parent", cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
    private Set<Child> childrenSet = new HashSet<>();

}

@Entity
public class Child {

     @Id
     @GeneratedValue
     private int childId;

     private boolean blonde;

     @ManyToOne(fetchType.LAZY, cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
     private Parent parent;
}

@Query( "SELECT p " +
        "FROM Parent p " +
        "JOIN FETCH p.friends f " +
        "LEFT JOIN FETCH p.childrenSet c " +
        "WHERE f.name IS NOT NULL " +
        "AND c.blonde = true")
List<Parent> getParentsWithListOfOnlyBlondeChildren();

Test Class
@Transactional
@SpringBootTest
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@DataJpaTest
public class TestParentRepo {
    @PersistenceContxt
    private EntityManager entityManager;

    @Autowired
    private ParentRepo parentRepo;

    @Before
    public void setup() {
        Child c1 = new Child();
        c1.setBlonde(true);
        Child c2 = new Child();
        c2.setBlonde(false);

        Friend friend1 = new Friend();
        friend1.setName("friend1");

        Set<Child> children = new HashSet<>();
        children.add(c1);
        children.add(c2);

        Parent parent1 = new Parent();
        parent1.setFriends(friend1);

        c1.setParent(parent1);
        c2.setParent(parent1);

        entityManager.persist(friend1);
        entityManager.persist(parent1);
        entityManager.persist(c1);
        entityManager.persist(c2);

        entityManager.flush();
        entityManager.clear();
    }

    @Test
    public void runTest() {
        List<Parent> parent = parentRepo.getParentsWithListOfOnlyBlondeChildren();

        System.out.println(parent);
    }
}

Now when debugging what I GET is the Parent Object with BOTH children in the set. What I WANT is The parent with only c1 (blonde = true).
What does the query have to be to filter out the related Child entities that don't match the criteria?
I am trying to avoid doing: Query Parents, for each parent Query Children matching criteria.

Edit
After more testing I have found that this only does not work when running tests, ie, the problem is with getting the expected result using H2 DB in unit tests. The query works fine when running with an actual MySQL instance.

A: You do not need @Query(atleast for simple queries like this one), If you are using spring-data-jpa, you can just write a method like this in your repository class
List<Parent> findByChildrenSet_Blonde(boolean isBlonde)

spring-data will formulate and execute the query for you by looking at the Method name. _ is to denote dependent class field
Now you can call this function like this
findByChildrenSet_Blonde(true)

You could also write
List<Parent> findByChildrenSet_BlondeTrue()

More of a piece of performance art than a play, Desire Caught by The Tail is a surrealist work that was penned by Pablo Picasso in 1941. First performed as a rehearsed reading in France shortly before its occupation, with the likes of Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus in occupied France, it has rarely been performed since its inception.
