The Scottish Enlightenment – the new world
The second last part of my notes from The Scottish Enlightenment
Scots had been among the first to colonise Canada through Nova Scotia. Orcadians particularly were successful in the fur trade, they were able to suffer the cold of Canada. Alexander MacKenzie became the first person to cross North America in 1789 by following what became the MacKenzie river 3,000 miles to the pacific. Canada was united and brought to independence by Glaswegian John MacDonald, by negotiating independence with the British government he realised that given a choice Canada would rather remain loyal than completely separate. Sandford Fleming from Kircaldy was the Canadian governments chief engineer and finished the first railway across the country. In the 19th century time was measured from sun rise to sun set which ment it differed wherever you were, this did not matter in the days of horse travel but it ment chaos for railway timetabled. He divided the earth into segments each with their own time zone but not differing between, this was standardised in 1882 in a conference held in Washington and the on 17 November 1883 clocks around the world were set to the same standard for the first time.
Scots also had a large part in Australia. It was largely forgetted by the British until William Pitt decided to use it as a penal colony sending 160,000 convicts there. They were treated as slaves by the free colonists until sheep farmer John MacArthur was imprisoned by the governor and in revenge had the governor kidnapped and sent back to England. MacAurthur ran a militia rule for two years until the arrival of governor Lachlan Macquarie who brought order by treating the convicts with respect. He got them to clean up build roads and buildings in Sydney which was made of a dirt road and tents for buildings.
Many Scots emigrated to the US. In 1848 immigrant James Wilson Marshall discovered a piece of gold in California creating the gold rush and the first get rich quick hopes of the Americans. Scottish born shipbuilders created boats that could sail round the Americas to California in less than 90 days, a record until the age of trains. Samuel Morse, a Scottish ancestor, developed a system for sending signals along wires and his famous Morse code and in 10 years had covered the US in telegraph wires. These were later used for Alexander Graham Bell's harmonic telegraph or telephone which was patented just two hours before his rival filed a patent application. Bell fought further rival patents but soon managed to become a monopoly and a millionaire. However the most successful Scottish-American businessman was Andrew Carneggie who invested in George Pullmans railway carrages to earn $400,000. He next invested in steel which he saw was about to become incredibly important in construction and through innovative production techniques his company was soon producing an amount equal to half entire British the output and discovered the principle of economies of scale. After a strike where 9 men were killed in riots he sold the company gaining $300 million, a fantastic sum in the days before income tax. He spent his money on public buildings including 2,800 libraries and 7,689 church organs.

The Scottish Enlightenment – Colonies (part 6)
Part six of my notes from The Scottish Enlightenment
Scots played a huge part in the shaping of the British Empire. The first part of the history of the British empire died when the trade monopoly over the Atlantic was stopped by the American revolution. The second was shaped by the ideas of Charles Pasley from Eskdalemuir in Dumfriesshire. He wrote An Essay on the Military Policy and Institutions of the British Empire which changed how Britons thought their empire should relate to the rest of the world. Britain would need to fight to gain its empire and by using the colonies as a resource for soldiers and sailors it grew by an average of 100,000 square miles per year between the Battle of Waterloo and the American Civil War. One reason for the success of the Scots in the new Empire was their world leading education system, even the poorer had impressive skills.
The Black Watch, with its distinctive blue and green tartan was started by the local Stuart clans to patrol the Highlands after the Jacobite rising to put down the remaining rebels. By 1815 there were 86 Highland regiments and were a backbone to the British army. They had included many who had previously fought for the Jacobites. Military innovation included a breech loaded rifle that could fire twice as fast as the muzzle loaded models and the percussion lock which used poattium chlorate instead of flint to fire and could shoot in any weather.
In 1806 the monopoly East India Company commissioned Scotsman James Mill to write a history of the British colonisation of India. The History of British India was the first attempt to apply the four-stage theory of civilisation to a non-western culture. He concluded that Britain should colonise India to civilise it with good government. This was done largely under Scottish leaders, the followers of Edinburgh-educated governor general Lord Minto. They negotiated and fought for peace with the Sikhs, Persians and between Muslims and Hindus. James Dalhousie (Lord Ramsey) was governor-general from 1848 for 8 years and create railways and national telegraph and postal services. He increased schools and irrigation projects and pushed for woman's rights in a country where they had none. His changes caused a revolution which lasted for two years and was put down by two Scottish generals Colin Campbell and Hugh Rose, destroying any last rules from natives. Scots were skillful merchants in India and created a smuggling trade with China of opium. The Opium wars were so successful that the Chinese had to sign a treaty to legalise that and other trade in 1842 which included the founding of a colony there, Hong Kong.
The Scottish Enlightenment – Walter Scott and the engineers (part 5)
Part five of my notes from The Scottish Enlightenment.
In the lowlands a revival of highland culture took place. Rabbie Burns produced his great poems and the works of a long lost Gaelic poet called Ossian were translated by McPherson into English. The Ossian poems included epic works of beauty and courage including one of 8 volumes. They caught the publics imagination and sold in huge numbers, people were surprised to learn that Gaelic culture could have produced such high art work. They turned out to be complete forgeries but remained very popular. Walter Scott, a lawyer from the borders, did go round the countryside collecting Scotland's oral history through passed on verses and published it very successfully. He was a Tory and liked the old notions of a romantic history. His most successful works were his Waverly novels (after which the train station was named), the first of which stars an English army man called Waverly who became a Jacobite and fought for Charles Stuart. Scott had invented the historical novel and it sold in its thousands. The successors to Scott are the likes of Tolstoy, Balzac and of course Robert Luis Stevenson. Scott's novels played on cultural conflict, highland against lowland, English against Scottish, Christian against Jew etc. The Waverly novels defined a Scottish history as being the highland history and Scottish culture as being highland culture. Scott had met and got on well with the Prince of Wales who became George IV. In 1822 George visited Scotland, the first monarch to do so since James IV had left. Scott had convinced the fat and spoilt king that he could be like the romantic Charles Stuart. He started by searching Edinburgh Castle for the ancient Scottish crown jewels which after a lengthy hunt the discovered in a cellar, untouched since 1707 when they were last used. 300,000 people turned up for his visit to Edinburgh, one in seven of the population. Scott and the city had spent months preparing processions based on those of the opening of the old Scots Parliament but including as much tartan and highland imagery as possible. Only 5 clan chiefs turned up, including the MacGregors trying to loose their old royal problems and the Sutherlands trying to loose their image as cruel highland clearance drivers. The visit was a massive success and turned the highland costume, banned until recently as the outfit of savages into the romantic traditional dress it is today. A wool manufacturers called Wilsons of Bannockburn started attaching tartans to clan names and lowland feudal areas. When the Tartan society of Edinburgh started cataloguing the tartans there were surprised when the clan chiefs had no idea which was theirs. The clan chiefs were soon caught up in the spirit and eventually two men claiming to be the illigitimate descendents of Charles Stuart published a catalogue of tartans which they claimed to have found from Queen Mary's old collection. It was Ossian all over again.
Scotland was beginning to lead the way in the sciences. James Watt developed the steam engine from a tool used to pump water into a machine which could make a continuous motion, it started the industrial revolution and he monopolised the industry with a patent for 25 years. The field of medicine was revolutionised by the hands on approach of Edinburgh University, at Oxbridge doctors were not allowed to touch their patients. A type of doctor called the General Practitioner was developed and lectures started being given in English. Unlike in England at Scottish universities anyone could participate not just Anglicans. James Hutton studied medicine but created the field of geology by publishing a book which said the earth's age was much older than the bible said and the layers in the rocks were sediments from past ages. Scottish engineers were became the best in the world, firstly John McAdam devised a mix of crushed stones and gravel that would develop into today's tarmacadam and secondly Thomas Telford who created a fantastic amount of roads, bridges, aquaducts, harbours and canals. The Caledonian Canal was his greatest achievement (out of many great achievements) costing a huge sum of a million pounds. It was the model for the Suez and Panama canals (Telford wanted to build a canal in Panama at Darien where Scotland's colonial failure had happened years before but died before he could). Glasgow's tobacco lords gave way to textiles, ironworks and shipbuilding and the population expanded four fold from 77,000 to 275,000. Only 5% of these were highlanders, most were Irish looking for work. Glasgow also saw the first class tension with riots and trade unions.
The Scottish Englightenment – in America, politics and the clearances (part 4)
Part four of my notes from The Scottish Enlightenment
All three banches of the Scots family went to the American colonies. The Ulster Scots went in such numbers that the British parliament worried that they might be so depleated as to remove the protestant advantage in the area. The Highland Scots went with the highland clearances and the lowlanders followed the trade. Many who went were the fierce Calvinists of the old order in the Kirk who saw that they were loosing ground in their home land, their strong belief in their religion but also in personal liberty remains in the US today. The academic spirit of the Scots travelled with them. Princeton was a Scots run university ruled by the old Kirkists who did not believe in the teaching from the likes of David Hume or Adam Smith but nethertheless ensured they were studied on the understanding that you can not critisise what you have not studied. When the war of independence came Scots on both sides of the atlantic were divided. Strangly many of the Catholic Highlanders who had suffered after the fourty five under the Hannovarian government faught in their defence, relearning their warrier attitude with weapons and costume not allowed to them since the Jacobite uprising. French help won the war for the Americans (bankrupting France into its own revolution). One third of the signitories to the declaration of independence were Scots and they created a system of government based on the theories of Hume. No single entity was soverign and all branches of government were in effective competition. Only the right way of reason and common sense would be able to be passed by the government. The legal system was based on the reasoning of the Scots system and included a new feature where the supreme court could overrule the government, another check.
By the end of the 18th century the big names of the Scottish Enlightenment had died. They left behind them a legacy that would reform the English and British political system. Britain was in political crisis after loosing wars to the Americans, the Spanish and the French. A revolution was under way in France which would inspire the middle classes that they needed a political voice. Ireland was about to revolt and the Bank of England had to suspect cash payments. Scotland however had a self-confidence above that of England. Edinburgh was architecturally stunning with its Adam style new town and the new skyline on Carlton Hill by William Playfair. Less than one person in 20 in Scotland could vote. A new breed of Scottish Whigs became prevelant and restarted the Edinburgh Review, a quarterly lirerature review which mixed in opinion and bias and was very popular. Many were worried about a French style revolution (with all its terror) if the political contitution was not reformed. After 23 years of opposition and with the country in economic depression a Whig government comprised largely of Scots took office over the Tories led by the Duke of Wellington. They managed to pass the reform bill by 1 vote and later the Scottish Reform Bill. The change was not radical but it did pave the way for a second reform bill in 1867 which did let the working classes have a vote. By then the Whigs were calling themselves Liberals.
In the Highlands the clearances were taking place. Freed from the clan ties the chieftans realised they could get rid of their mounting debt by clearing most of the population of the highlands who went to work in the cities or to the new world. The highlands could not support the number of people living there, most had become dependent on tatties which could produce 4 times as much food as barley or wheat, but the tattie blight saw an end that survival means.
Scottish Enlightenment – The Jacobite Rising
Part three of my notes from The Scottish Enlightenment
Charles lived in Rome but left in 1744 for France to try and gain political support, including an army and supplies to try and retake the Scots and English crowns for the Jacobites. France decided instead to fight the British on the continent by attacking Germany (home of the King George). The government in London was at the time at war with Spain who became allied to the French. The result was that most of the British armies were on the continent. Charles decided to go to Scotland without an army and raise support for a rebellion. The clan chiefs knew he was mad but some agreed to fight largely out of a sense of honour. They surprised themselves to be able to march to Perth and then Edinburgh. The City Council of Edinburgh had decided not to fight, they wanted a quiet life. Instead a merchant raised a malitia of 200 volunteers who trained using what weapons they could. They marched through Edinburgh to West Bow at the top of the Grassmarket but by the time they got there everyone of the malitia had quietly slipped away. Eventually the leader gave up as well. The gates of the Nether Bow were opened to let a coach through and the Camerons charged through. Edinburgh was taken before most of its inhabitants knew it and Charles was crowned at the Mercat Cross as James VIII. The castle was not taken. The Jacobites got their battle at Prestonpans against the Black Watch and scared them into running away. Eventually Charles moved south and won another battle but eventually realised he had decreasing support as he moved south, the English did not join him and the highlanders had no interest in seeing him become an English king. The retreat went to Glasgow where he found no friends at all, the city of merchants wanted to keep their prosperous union with England. Eventually the Jacobites lost at Culloden east of Inverness where they were defeated the Hanoveran army who killed any injured or anyone looking after the injured, the battle field was kept guard for 2 days afterwards to stop anyone helping the injured. Charles hid in the Great Glen before escaping to Skye then France and finally had to go to Rome. The government in London banned the highlanders using weapons (again), kilts or tartan. They also removed much of the power of Chieftans, no longer would they be virtual kings and be able to raise an army on their own. This was not a war of highland against lowland but of a modern commerce and competition led society against an old feudal society where everyone knew their place. The Jacobites promised certainties in life and will forever be a romantic image for that.
After the fall of the Jacobites Scotland's cultural and economic activity exploded. Glasgow became the city of commerce while Edinburgh was the city of intellectuals. The Glasgow tobacco merchants became the most successful in the world. In Edinburgh Adam Smith invented the science of economics but was also a moral philosopher who like Frances Hutcheson and Homes asked why the nature of people was as it is, not completely selfish but not completely selfless either. Instead of giving a final answer he was the first to acknowledge the confict (Tony Blair might think of him as the architect of the third way).
David Hume was one of the most important philosophers to have lived, giving a new outlook on life to western thought. He was an athiest which made him something of an outsider in society. Previous philosophers had seen human reason as a struggle to overcome our emotions, Hume's first book said "reason is and ought to be the slave of the passions". Overturning 2000 years of moral philosophy he realised that our habit is to follow our desired to get what we want.
Society and laws are created to channel our desires into constructive output, to make it more profitable to set up a bank than to rob one. Frances Hutcheson and the Kirk were outraged at this but that is the nature of the Scottish Englightenment, a move from a society where everyone knows and keeps to their place to a liberal society based on personal freedom and self interest but resulting in a society that ultimately creates a better quality of life.
scottish enlightenment – founders and culture
Part two of my notes from The Scottish Enlightenment
The founding fathers of the Scottish Enlightenment were Frances Hutcheson and Henry Home (Lord Kames was his judicial title). Frances Hutcheson managed to become the chair of moral philosphy at Glasgow university to much opposition from the Kirk which still had a lot of power over the universities. He was the first person to give lectures in England rather than Latin, broadening allowing for a much greater audience than he would otherwise have. He was Europe's first liberal and wrote about the importance of personal freedom and natural or civil rights. Henry Home was a succesful advocate who rose to become one of the countries highest judges taking the title Lord Kames. His writings followed on from Hutcheson's and were the first to decribe the importance of property in a succesful social system. He described how the politics of Scotland had never truly been about loyalty to a king but about royal land grants, the most important political tool available to a monarch. He also oversaw the case of Joseph Knight which ruled that there could be no slavery in Scotland.
After the union the issue of culture had to be tackled. Should Scots speak in English or Scots? Gaelic was not considered an option, by this time it was relegated to the Highlands and Islands. It's difficult to image how at the time English and Scots were distinct languages, the words and grammer were so different and yet related that Scots found it very difficult to not slip back into the mither toungue. On arriving in London Boswell said to Johnson 'I do indeed come from Scotland but I can not help it'. The English considered Scottish immigrants to be scroungers, ignorant and corrupt. This is a pattern many other cultures have had to contend with, up to the asylum issues in today's tabloids. Rather than reject English culture the lowland Scots mastered and conquered it, becoming bi-lingual and writing some of the greatest works of the time such as Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations in a foreign language. The backlash came from the highlands.
Clans were not family groupings of people, they were creations of Scotland's feudal system which ment crofters had to get their land in return for servitude to a clan chief. The Chief had full power of law, taxes and military service over his clan. The Chiefs had to be loyal to the King to keep their lands and they were often used for political advantage. The massacre of MacDonalds by the Campbells was started as a command from the King. James IV outlawed the MacGregor clan and pardoned the murder of anyone who killed a MacGregor which led to genocide. The ban on MacGregors was not lifted until 1774 and the hope that it would be lifed was one of the reasons why Rob Roy agreed to join the Jacobite rising. Similarly many other clans joined the rising in a hope of regaining land and power. The richer clans did not join the rising.
The Scottish Enlightenment (part 1)
Scotland genuinly has a history to be proud of. From a backwards nation it became a country which changed the world in many areas. First with free education and a legal system based on reason not precedent (as in England) it created thinkers who changed the world forever. The Scottish Enlightenment by Arthur Herman is what real history books should be like, not a list of Kings and Queens but of the people who moved the world forwards. The author is not Scottish as the incorrect numbering of monarchs and bad translation of Scots shows but this helps to ensure he is not biased towards national pride.
The two most important historial events which allowed for the enlightenment were the creation of the Kirk and the union with England. John Knox was a persuasive man who could revolutionise a country and bring the downfall of monarchs. The Church of Scotland he created was fundamentalist and unforgiving, unlike the Catholic church which required bibles to be in Latin in the Kirk everyone had to read the bible which was to be in modern languages. This required The Schools Act which created a school in every parish, free education to all gave Scotland the highest literary rate in the world. The Kirk was also democratic (unlike the Scottish Parliament) with elders and ministers appointed by the parishioners. People were hung for blaspheming but the strictness was eventually weakened by the education the church itself provided.
The Union with England was required because Scotland was broke after the Darien scheme. Scotland was already largly ruled by an essentially English king. Many members of the Scottish parliament received bribes to enact the Act of Union. One of the big turning points in the debates over the act came when the Kirk agreed to support the Union. This was unexpected because the Act of Union did not guarantee the independence of the Church of Scotland, however the moderator (and Principle of Edinburgh University) William Carstairs turned the general assembly arguing that if they did not agree to the Union Scotland could end up with a Catholic king. With the Kirk behind the Union the votes in the parliament for the act went through smoothly (they were deliberatly ordered with trade access to English markets and colonies first and more tricky subjects such as the joining of parliaments at the end). Rioters took to the streets causing the Lord Provost of Glasgow to flee and none of the pro-Union parliamentarians could go out without personal protection. When the act was due to be signed the parliament was besiged and the signers had to flee. Twice more they tried to sign it and were discovered by rioters. Eventually they met in a cellar opposite the Tron Kirk and sealed the end of an auld sang. The union caused the downfall of a lot of Scottish industry and a vote a few years afterwards to end it was defeated in the House of Lords by only 4 votes. Before long however the freedom given by a stable government which largly ignored Scotland together with a flourishing trade with the (now British) colonies from Glasgow gave Scotland a much needed economic boom.
Hitchhikers Theme Tune
Eilidh became an evil pirate last week when she copied some music being shared by flurble. Among them an interesting find: Journey of The Sorcerer by the Eagles which is the theme tunes to the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy radio series.
Looking forward to the fourth radio series, not looking forward to the film which is too Americanizationed.

Q: Using MYSQL Distinct with Count? I'm looking to use both DISTINCT and COUNT in a MySQL query, something like this:
SELECT DISTINCT `data1` AS new_data, COUNT(new_data) FROM table_name WHERE `data2`='$data2' AND `data3` = '$data3'

The goal being to loop through the DISTINCT results and do something with both the result itself, as well as the COUNT for that result.
Unfortunately, I'm not too great with MySQL...

*

*I'm not sure if it can be done this way

*Is there any other approach that I could use to calculate this all directly in MySQL without multiple DB calls?

A: I assume you want to have a count per data1 where rows match your conditions. Right?
Group by data1 and you're done:
SELECT `data1`, COUNT(*)
FROM table_name
WHERE `data2` = '$data2' AND `data3` = '$data3'
GROUP BY `data1`

A: I'm not sure to understand your question...
Do you want to do something like:
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT `data1`) AS new_data FROM table_name
WHERE `data2`='$data2' AND `data3` = '$data3'

Antolín Sánchez Presedo (* 5. April 1955 in Betanzos, Provinz A Coruña) ist ein spanischer Rechtsanwalt, Politiker der sozialistischen Partei PSOE und Mitglied des Europäischen Parlaments.

Leben
Nach einem Studium der Rechtswissenschaft an der Universität Santiago de Compostela (1972–1977) begann Sánchez Presedo ab 1978 als Rechtsanwalt zu arbeiten. 1981 wurde er in das Regionalparlament von Galicien gewählt, dem er bis 1997 angehörte. Außerdem war er ab 1979 Mitglied des Stadtrats, ab 1983 Bürgermeister seines Heimatorts Betanzos.

Von 1982 bis 1994 gehörte er dem Parteivorstand der PSOE an. 1985 wurde er Nachfolger von Francisco Vázquez Vázquez als Generalsekretär der PSdeG, des galicischen Regionalverbandes der PSOE. Er gab das Bürgermeisteramt in Betanzos auf, um die galicischen Regionalwahlen im selben Jahr vorzubereiten. Trotz Sitzgewinnen für die PSdeG gelang es ihr nicht, eine Regierung zu bilden. Erst 1987 konnte sie durch ein Misstrauensvotum die konservative Regierung unter Xerardo Fernández Albor (PP) stürzen. Neuer galicischer Präsident wurde Fernando González Laxe; Sánchez Presedo übernahm das Ministerium für Raumordnung und öffentliche Bauten. In den Regionalwahlen 1989 gewann allerdings wieder die PP mit ihrem Spitzenkandidaten Manuel Fraga Iribarne, sodass die PSdeG in die Opposition zurückkehrte.

Bei den Regionalwahlen 1993 trat Sánchez Presedo als Spitzenkandidat der PSdeG an, erlitt jedoch eine deutliche Niederlage. Dies führte dazu, dass er 1994 sein Amt als Generalsekretär des Regionalverbandes wieder aufgab und sich vorübergehend aus der Politik zurückzog. Stattdessen war er als Rechtsanwalt tätig und absolvierte von 1994 bis 1996 ein Masterstudium in Europarecht an der Universität Carlos III in Madrid. Von 2001 bis 2004 arbeitete er als Hochschullehrer an der Universität A Coruña.

Bei der Europawahl 2004 trat Sánchez Presedo erneut für die PSOE an und erreichte einen Sitz im Europäischen Parlament. Hier gehört er der Fraktion der Sozialdemokratischen Partei Europas an und ist Mitglied im Ausschuss für Wirtschaft und Währung.
In der Periode 2009 bis 2014 ist er Mitglied im Ausschuss für Wirtschaft und Währung und in der Delegation für die Beziehungen zu Südafrika.
Als Stellvertreter ist er im Fischereiausschuss und in der Delegation für die Beziehungen zu den Vereinigten Staaten.

The Duke of Cambridge, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attended the traditional Anzac Day service at Westminster Abbey today.
The special service is the culmination of a day of events honouring Australians and New Zealanders who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations.
Submarine inventor Peter Madsen has been given a life sentence for murdering and dismembering Swedish journalist Kim Wall.
The Copenhagen City Court sentenced the 47-year-old to the maximum punishment for the torture and murder of Ms Wall in August 2017.
Prosecutor Jakob Buch-Jepsen claimed the murder was sexually motivated and premeditated because Madsen had brought along tools he wouldn't normally didn't take when sailing, including a saw and sharpened screwdrivers.
47-year-old Madsen has said he will appeal against his murder conviction and life sentence.
The Facebook owned messaging service Whatsapp is to raise its minimum age limit to 16 in the EU.
The current age restriction is 13-years-old but the increase is being made ahead of the introduction of new EU data privacy regulations in May.
In the next few weeks users will be required to confirm their age when prompted in order to agree to new terms of service.
However, about a third of all UK-based 12 to 15-year-olds active on social media use WhatsApp, according to a 2017 Ofcom report.
Whatsapp have not said how the age limit will be enforced.
Secretary General of FIFA, Fatma Samoura, has strongly denied a conflict of interest in relation to bids to host the twenty twenty six World Cup.
A complaint to the FIFA ethics committee alleges Ms Samoura is related to El Hadj-Diouf, who played for Liverpool and is an ambassador for Morocco's bid.
Ms Samoura's full name is Fatma Samba Diouf Samoura, and like El Hadj-Diouf, she's from Senegal.
But she says she's not related to the football player, and told The Times the claim is 'the most ridiculous statement she's ever heard in her life'.
The US cable TV giant Comcast has made a formal bid of £22-billion to purchase Sky.
Comcast are the biggest cable TV company in the US and already own the NBC network and Universal Pictures.
The move threatens media mogul Rupert Murdoch's recent attempts to take full control of Sky.
The Murdoch owned 21st Century Fox had already agreed to buy the 61% of Sky it does not already own.
Sky has said it was withdrawing its recommendation for the Fox bid following Comcast's move.


But she too was once a slave, plucked from her home, chosen by the Eyes to live in service to them, as much a slave now as she ever was. And with her sight into past and future, she can see the secrets of the Eyes–and the evil of the Eyes.
Before the death of Hawkspar, another must be chosen by the Eyes–but the avatar has her own plans, and chooses a slave for her courage and rebelliousness, rather than her dedication to the goals of the Eyes.
So, yeah, apparently this is the second book in the world of Korre, but it is a stand-alone book. I do feel like you would know more about the magic of the Tonks, the people of the Hawkspar, if you had read the first book, Talyn. But I haven't and the book and I got along just fine (though now I have to read the first one).
There is a darkness to this book, but the author still manages to fill it with hope. I personally love a dark story, but also want a happy ending. I'm a contradiction, I know. Anyways, Hawkspar, the one chosen after the original dies, has it rough. Not only is she a slave, but now she's been chosen to have her eyes plucked out, essentially blinding her, and stone magical eyes put back in. She is a strong character who because of facing her fears for her people is also courageous. She has wants and needs, but she makes sacrifices constantly for what she believes is right. So, she's pretty cool.
But this story isn't just told from her perspective, but also a man who is trying to help her. And while her side is written in first person, his is written in third. It actually helps to differentiate who's side your reading, if you've forgotten. His name is Aaran and he is strong because of his weakness, his search for a long lost sister. He is also intelligent, and pretty hot.
I said this story was full of hope, but it is also the story of family, of the strong ties a family can have, of the comfort of being a part of a family, and sometimes choosing your own family. My brother is about to have heart surgery, so maybe this spoke to me more than others.
It was pretty well paced and overall was a satisfying read. If you want something a bit different and a bit dark, try this out.

Feeling nervous in social situations can be a normal reaction to an overwhelming experience. However, people with social anxiety disorder experience excessive worry about doing something embarrassing or humiliating, or that others will think badly of them.
Feeling nervous in social situations can be a normal reaction to an overwhelming experience. However, people with social anxiety disorder experience excessive worry about doing something embarrassing or humiliating, or that others will think badly of them. The constant feeling of being under pressure to perform can interfere with social interactions and prevent people with social anxiety disorder from participating in social situations all together. Social anxiety disorder can interfere with a person's daily functioning and can be disruptive to, family relationships, and work or school.
Social anxiety can result from genetic factors, environmental factors, or a combination of both. People who have a family history of anxiety and mental health concerns, and people who have experienced trauma, are at greater risk for developing social anxiety than the general population. Additionally, people who experience social anxiety are at high risk for developing a substance use disorder.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) allows individuals to manage anxiety in social situations by teaching coping skills and often includes gradual exposure to social situations to build tolerance. CBT has been shown to be more effective than medication alone in treating social anxiety disorder. For individuals whose social anxiety is linked to a traumatic experience Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) may be most effective.
Medication can be used in conjunction with talk therapy to treat social anxiety.
All the psychologists at Edgar psychological can treat social anxiety disorder.

MSC 1217-137-255
St. Louis, MO 63130-899
Steven Hirsch is a historian of Modern Latin America with a specialization in Peruvian history. His research centers on anarchist movements and networks in Peru and their attendant transregional and transnational interactions, cross-fertilizations and emancipatory struggles. In addition, his research also focuses on the discursive, class, gender, ethnic, and racial dimensions of the Peruvian APRA Party and Latin American populism. With the exception of his secondary teaching interest in 'The Vietnam Wars' and in anti-colonialism, anti-imperialism, and political violence in Southeast Asian history, his research and teaching interests overlap.
Hirsch received a PhD in Latin America History from The George Washington University; a M.A. degree in Latin American Studies from the University of Texas at Austin; and a B.A. degree in History from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
First-Year Seminar: The Vietnam Wars (L97 GS 111)
US-centric historical narratives of the Vietnam War obscure the perspectives and lived experiences of the Vietnamese. The social, ethnic, and religious diversity, and the political and gender-related complexities of the Vietnamese are typically neglected. By focusing almost exclusively on Vietnam, US narratives of the war also tend to gloss over the wider regional dimensions of the conflict. In the interest of redressing this imbalance, this course examines the outlook, values, agency, and experiences of northern and southern Vietnamese, as well as rural and urban Cambodians and Laotians. Drawing on a wide range of primary and secondary sources it provides a macro and micro level historical analysis of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos from the premodern era until the present. In so doing, it explores the early sociocultural foundations of ancient Southeast Asian civilizations, the impact of Chinese and French colonialism, and Japanese occupation, the rise of Indochinese nationalist and communist revolutionary movements, the process of decolonization, the impact of U.S. military intervention, the rise and fall of the Khmer Rouge, postwar political and economic developments, and the memories and multiple meanings of the Vietnam Wars for Southeast Asians. Course is for first-year, non-transfer students only.
Andean History: Culture and Politics (L97 GS 356)
Since pre-Columbian times, the central Andean mountain system, combining highlands, coastal and jungle areas, has been the locus of multiethnic polities. Within this highly variegated geographical and cultural-historical space, emerged the Inca Empire, the Viceroyalty of Peru - Spain's core South American colony, and the central Andean republics of Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. Taking a chronological and thematic approach, this course will examine pre-Columbian Andean societies, Inca rule, Andean transformations under Spanish colonialism, post-independence nation-state formation, state-Indian relations, reform and revolutionary movements, and neoliberal policies and the rise of new social movements and ethnic politics. This course focuses primarily on the development of popular and elite political cultures, and the nature and complexity of local, regional, and national power relations.
Anarchism: History, Theory and Praxis (L97 GS 364)
This course analyzes the origins, historical trajectories, and influence of anarchism from its classical period (1860s - 1930s) until the present. It examines the major personalities, complex ideas, vexing controversies, and diverse movements associated with anarcho-collectivism, anarcho-communism, individualist anarchism, anarcho-syndicalism, anarchist feminism, green anarchism, lifestyle anarchism, and poststructuralist anarchism. In doing so, it explores traditional anarchist concerns with state power, authority, social inequality, capitalism, nationalism, imperialism, and militarism. It also analyzes anarchism's conception of individual and collective liberation, mutual aid, workers' organization, internationalism, direct democracy, education, women's emancipation, sexual freedom, and social ecology. Special attention will be given to past and contemporary globalizing processes and their relation to the dissemination and reception of anarchism in the global South.
Latin American Populism and Neo-Populism (L97 GS 4611)
A salient feature of Latin America in the 20th and early 21st centuries has been the recurrence of populism. Mass-based political and social movements animated by nationalist and reformist impulses dominated Latin American politics in the 1920s, 1930s-60s, and 1980s to the present. This course provides a general historical and theoretically informed analysis of the origins, internal dynamics, and outcomes of classical populist and neo-populist governments and parties. Among the notable populist and neo-populist cases to be examined include: Peronism in Argentina , Velasquismo in Ecuador, Cardenismo in Mexico, APRA in Peru, Varguismo in Brazil, Garcia/Fujimori in Peru, Menen/Kirchners in Argentina, and Hugo Chávez in Venezuela. Issues pertaining to leader-follower relations, populist discourses, citizenship rights, populist gender and racial policies, labor and social reforms, and mass mobilization politics will also be explored.
Labor and Labor Movements in Global History (L97 GS 4622)
Moving away from a traditional national approach to labor history, this course explores the connections between work, types of workers, workers' movements, labor ideologies, and labor politics from a global historical perspective. It focuses on the period from the mid-19th century until the present. This temporal focus corresponds to the first (c.1860-1930) and second (c.1980-present) ages of globalization. Global phenomena such as expanding world trade, international labor markets, industrialization, urbanization, colonialism, imperialism, capital and labor mobility, and the spread of radical ideologies will be analyzed to assess their impact on the nature of work, labor relations systems, labor organization, and workers' collective action. This course will introduce students to key topics and themes in global labor history. These themes are varied and complex and range from working-class formation, immigration, state-labor relations, labor regimes, patterns of racialized and gendered work, competing labor ideologies, and transnational and transcontinental relations between workers in different regions of the world. The history of Latin American workers and labor movements will receive special attention.
Twentieth Century Latin American Revolutions (L97 GS 4633)
Latin America was arguably one of the most "revolutionary" regions of the world in the twentieth century. It registered four "great revolutions": Mexico 1910, Bolivia 1952, Cuba 1959, and Nicaragua 1979. These social revolutions entailed a substantial, violent, and voluntarist struggle for political power and the overthrow of the established political, economic, social, and cultural orders. In the wake of these successful revolutions, new revolutionary institutions of governance were founded, radical structural changes were implemented, and a new revolutionary ethos was adopted. With the exception perhaps of the Bolivian Revolution, these revolutions had a profound impact on Latin American and world politics. The primary aim of this course is to analyze and compare the causes, processes, and outcomes of the Mexican, Cuban, and Nicaraguan revolutions. The course also analyzes late 20th century guerrilla movements in El Salvador and Peru.

November 12, 2018 – air pollution control is a serious issue in areas such as Stuttgart, Ludwigsburg and the surrounding areas. The construction company WOLFF & MÜLLER based in Zuffenhausen and the Ludwigsburg filtration expert MANN+HUMMEL would like to make a contribution to reduce air pollution. At the Bleyle complex in Ludwigsburg the companies are testing three of the new stationary fine dust filters developed by MANN+HUMMEL, the so-called Filter Cubes II. "As a construction company which attaches great importance to sustainability and builds with a neutral overall CO2 balance, we also believe that the avoidance of fine dust pollution is relevant", explained Dr. Albert Dürr, managing partner of WOLFF & MÜLLER and initiator of the joint project. Originally the idea was: "We build houses and MANN+HUMMEL produces filter systems. Therefore why not install filters at our buildings and in this way make a positive contribution to the environment?", added Dr. Dürr.
MANN+HUMMEL has been testing stationary fine dust solutions since the middle of 2017, including a prototype in front of the company's headquarters in Ludwigsburg. WOLFF & MÜLLER is now the first external project partner to test the newly developed Filter Cubes II. The Bleyle complex, which is home to a number of companies belonging to the WOLFF & MÜLLER group and was built by the construction company, was the area selected for the joint project in Ludwigsburg. The adjacent and busy Martin-Luther-Straße thoroughfare and the railway nearby the complex offer the ideal area for the tests.
"In the area there is also a school, a kindergarten and a medical center. Many busy roads and the railway station in the area are significant sources of fine dust. Using our Filter Cubes we want to make a contribution to protect people against fine dust", explains Jan-Eric Raschke, head of the Fine Dust Eater technology platform at MANN+HUMMEL. The three Filter Cubes II from MANN+HUMMEL are roughly 2.50 meters high and consist of respectively two connected modular components which are the cubes. Equipped with fine dust particle filters and high performance blowers, they are able to actively remove fine dust from the ambient air while having a very low energy consumption. A control unit can be used to adjust the operation of the fine dust filters in order to match the respective conditions and therefore react to the current quality of the air.
"Wherever people live, work, study or do sports, we want to make a contribution towards keeping the air clean. Experience has shown that due to the operation of heating systems, in the winter months the fine dust pollution increases. We are therefore happy that we are carrying out this test together with WOLFF & MÜLLER at the present time in this location", explains Raschke.
The Bleyle complex has made land available for the installation of the Filter Cubes. WOLFF & MÜLLER undertook the necessary preparations for the installation including the building of a concrete foundation and fitting of electrical cables and will also make a contribution towards the energy costs incurred by the tests. MANN+HUMMEL will make measurements and conduct regular maintenance during the pilot project.
"Although we are unable to significantly influence the cause of the fine dust, at the least we would like set a good example and reduce the impact of the fine dust", explains Dr. Dürr. Sustainable and environmentally-oriented thinking and acting is a tradition at WOLFF & MÜLLER. For example, WOLFF & MÜLLER was the first construction company in Germany to build with a neutral overall CO2 balance. The company organizes its building sites with the aid of modern, certified environmental and energy management systems. WOLFF & MÜLLER has received numerous awards in this respect, including the environmental award from the state of Baden-Württemberg in 2016. The medium-sized company is using its prize money to bear its part of the project costs. After this test project the construction company plans to install a further stationary fine dust filter at the new WOLFF & MÜLLER CAMPUS at the company headquarters in Zuffenhausen in Stuttgart.

Linda Barnicott
Linda Barnicott began her career as a portrait artist in 1975. Today she is beloved and sought-after for her enchanting portraits of Pittsburgh. Using rich pastel colors, she captures the unique beauty of famous Pittsburgh scenes with a charm all her own. It began in 1989 with the now-famous tribute to downtown holiday shopping entitled "Meet Me Under Kaufmann's Clock." The work immediately won the hearts of Pittsburghers, who have been meeting friends under the clock downtown for years. From this work Linda created several series of Pittsburgh landmarks, capturing warm memories that are loved by generations. In 1995, she began painting a collection of Kennywood Park scenes that has become even more popular. Since then, she has brought to life the magic of every amusement park in the region, including Story Book Forest, Idlewild Park, Sand Castle Water Park and West View Park, which closed in 1977.
With roots as a portrait artist, Barnicott includes family members and friends in every painting. "If you look carefully, you can watch my daughters grow up over the years, starting with the Kennywood Series," says Barnicott. "And my husband appears in just about all of them." Barnicott begins each piece with photographs of the scene. She takes family and friends with her, setting up their posed positions. For example, in staging her Kaufmann's Clock painting, they gathered on a blisteringly hot July day, in full winter's clothing, to pose for the new image. Not long after that, to create the desired image of a couple in one of Kennywood's historic aluminum rowboats, she posed them on a wooden bench in their backyard. The husband held a rake and a hoe instead of oars. After a little Barnicott magic, the two now float peacefully on the water in "Coasting Through Kennywood."
Barnicott was chosen to be the official artist of the 1996 Three Rivers Regatta. Since 1998, she has been commissioned by the American Cancer Society of Greater Pittsburgh to create the painting used on their annual holiday card. In 2000, Barnicott received a special Proclamation from the City of Pittsburgh, commemorating her "tremendous contribution in capturing and preserving many sites in and around the Pittsburgh Area." This is an honor she holds dear, as a largely self-taught artist. However, over the years Barnicott has been privileged to study occasionally with some of the greatest artists of the day including sessions in 1981 and 1983 with the internationally-acclaimed portrait artist Daniel Greene. She also studied landscape painting with master pastel artist Richard McKinley in both 2010 and 2011. These brief workshops enriched her ability to create peaceful landscapes full of vibrant color.
In 2006, Linda's company, Linda Barnicott Publishing, LLC, was chosen as a winner of the prestigious 2006 Forbes® Enterprise Award. In March of 2008, she was honored to be a featured cover story of the national magazine, "Professional Artist". In 2010, Barnicott began an amazing partnership with Wendell August Forge. Based in Grove City, Pennsylvania, these artisans are known for their exquisite hand-made metal work and are currently creating a beautiful collection of ornaments from her beloved paintings. She also was invited to become a member of the esteemed Salmagundi Club in New York City, one of the oldest art organizations in the country.
Barnicott's work has been displayed at the Oncology Wellness Institute in Meadville, PA as part of their holistic approach to cancer treatment. With its ability to create a sense of calm and nostalgia, patients receiving chemotherapy experienced a reduction of stress, thus enhancing the treatment's effectiveness. In 2011, she was asked to be the exclusive artist for the new West Penn Allegheny Outpatient Facility in Peters Township, providing this facility with over 50 paintings. Patients often shared comments such as, "I just walked down memory lane" and "They are a wonderful distraction from things unpleasant." That same year, Barnicott was honored to partner with Healthy Lungs Pennsylvania to develop their annual holiday print and ornament.
Barnicott's two landscape series, "Beautiful Beyond Pittsburgh" and "Pennsylvania's Route 6," are represented by Arts for Everyone and her work is often highlighted through this organization. She is currently painting landmarks in other American cities which can be viewed on her website.
Each year, Barnicott's endearing scenes become more popular. Her paintings and collectibles are sold worldwide on the internet and appear in well over 50 regional galleries and gift shops. She loves talking with her clients and hearing the memories that her paintings evoke. She participates in numerous art shows throughout the year and has a calendar of events on her website. Barnicott's studio is in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania where she lives with her husband and two daughters.

The design of our stick & bag mixes is built on Mainlines extensive knowledge & experience in bait formulation. Incorporating our unique water soluble catalyst system which capitalises on all aspects of feeding & attraction. Pro-active stick & bag mixes are the ultimate in active particle release and provide a stream of attraction throughout the water column, drawing carp from all levels. Ideally suited for filling PVA sticks and bags, but can also be used as a addition to any grounbait or spod mix.
Sticky Baits Manilla Pellets - 4mm Based around the same concept as the award winning Bloodworm Pellets, Manilla Pellets undergo a very similar two stage coating process where they are continually loaded with layers of powdered and liquid attractors. The outer coating of the Manilla Pellets contains our exclusive peanut protein, as well as high levels of soluble milks that leave a dense cloud of attraction that hugs the lake bed. The liquid element of the coating is packed with tons of natural salts and sugars as well as the awesome Madagascan vanilla extract that will certainly grab any hungry carp's attention! Great for use in PVA bags, ground baits or spod mixes and can also be 'balled up' with the addition of a liquid, which makes them ideal for moulding, round a method feeder. For a really effective tip try fishing a Manilla Wafter over a mix of Manilla Pellets and chopped Manilla Boilies. What fish could resist this bed of complete attraction!
Frenzied Mixed Particles A mixture of Dynamite Baits' finest particles all cooked and prepared to the highest standard. This is an excellent bait when you are looking to create a bed of feed as the different baits in the mix ensure that fish don't get pre-occupied feeding on just the one food item. You can get the Mixed Particles in 2.5l jars or 600g tins. The main thing that sets the Dynamite Particle Range apart from the rest is there are no added preservatives what so ever! The range of particles are cooked inside the tin/jar, meaning none of their natural fish attracting oils and nutrients, attractants are lost.


An absolutely amazing achievement. Can't wait to follow along on this exciting creative journey. Superstar!
Congratulations, Rochelle. I'm delighted to see you back on the team and look forward to more of your gorgeous creations.
Congratulations! I love inspiration from the Artisans Team!

Playtech acquired CFH Group
Playtech seems to grow more and more lately. The company's Board of directors announced on November that they were about to approach CFH Group, having in mind to offer a great number of $120 million (£95 million) for the financial trading systems developer, typically the most important sector of the acquired company. Leading industry platform and technology provider Playtech Plc completed the acquisition just a few days ago and they now have a 70% of CFH's stakes in their possesion.
But it is not only about that, since the full acquisition will be completed in 2019, when Playtech will be about to buy the 100% of CFH's stakes. As it seems, Playtech will expand its presence within the financial technology sector, something that has been a long term target for the well known technology provider. CFH's products will incorporate within Playtech's portfolio and the main target remains for the B2B and B2C customer services to be upgraded.

Q: Query on $.get(), Express and JSON in NodeJS application In the NodeJS application using Express, I use the below query to send data from client to server
$('#frmadd').on('submit',function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    form_elements = $('#frmadd').serializeArray();
    $.get('/add_details',{input: form_elements})
    .done(function(data){
      //SOME STATEMENTS
  },'json');

And I use bodyParser on the server side and I've appended 'json' at the end of the above code. I've read that it coverts the data stream into JSON format and sends it to the server.
And I also have read that EXPRESS actually takes care of the JSON conversions i.e., stringifies the object when sent from client to server and auto parses when sent from server to client. So in that case why do we need to attach 'json' in the code ? Please correct me if I am wrong.
Also in the above code, with or without adding the 'json' is not making any difference. I can happily able to access the data object at server side. So what is the extra use provided by attaching the 'json'
Thanks in advance.

A: IT is used to set Content type of data

A: There's no JSON that I'm aware of in your request.  The object you are passing to $.get(url, dataObject) is put into the query string as prop=val pairs.  The Express body-parser module, parses the query string for you and puts the results into req.query for you.
The data in the query string is query string encoded by jQuery and then decoded and parsed by the body-parser module in Express.
If you are doing a POST, you can then decide whether you want the data to be encoded as JSON or form encoded, but for GET requests data goes in the query string which is always URL encoded.
FYI, the 'json' argument you show in your code is showing as a 2nd argument to .done() which is not used and thus is ignored.


WataugaWatch: Twitterverse Sends a Terse Message to D.C.
It's really hard not to feel like some Republican politicians are screwing around with the country's future just to make sure the president fails. I'm not saying all of them or that it's the only reason, but I think it's a contributing factor and it makes me hoppin' mad.


Make your food dollar go further with these high-nutrition, low-cost choices.
For less than $2 a pound, a two-for-one deal: Eat the roots and the leaves, for a double dose of fiber, potassium, and folate, and get antioxidant betalains and beta carotene in the bargain.
This modest member of the brassica family is rich in potential cancer-fighting sulforaphanes, and vitamins K and C. Cooked right, it's mild and sweet -- and paying 22 cents a serving is pretty sweet, too.
For as little as 65 cents per 3-ounce serving, canned salmon is a great alternative to tuna, with more omega-3 fats and less mercury. Be sure to look wild canned Alaskan salmon.
Versatile eggs offer perfectly balanced protein, vitamin B-12, selenium, and choline. Even enhanced with heart-healthy omega-3 fats, they'll only set you back about 50 cents for two.
A 1-cup serving of these fast-cooking legumes gives you half the fiber you need for the day, plus plenty of protein, folate, and iron -- all for about 25 cents.
They've got more protein than bulgur wheat, plus soluble fiber, thiamin, iron, and selenium -- and a hearty oatmeal breakfast for four costs about a dollar.
At less than 50 cents a cup, this tender, nutty grain-like seed beats brown rice when it comes to fiber and protein, and has healthy amounts of vitamin E, magnesium, and iron.
Get the nutrition and crunch of nuts, for a fraction of the price (generally less than $2 a pound). Sunflower seeds rival almonds for protein and fiber, and offer tons of vitamin E to boot.
A medium baked sweet potato gives you all the vitamin A you need for the day, as well as potassium, fiber, and vitamin C.
A quarter-pound costs less than a dollar, but boasts 18 grams of cholesterol-free protein. Plus, the kind made with calcium sulfate provides more than half your daily requirement of calcium.
