Tenochtitlán: History of Aztec Capital

Tenochtitlán was an Aztec city that flourished between A.D. 1325 and 1521. Built on an island on Lake Texcoco, it had a system of canals and causeways that supplied the hundreds of thousands of people who lived there.
It was largely destroyed by the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés after a siege in 1521, and modern-day Mexico City now lies over much of its remains. In a 1520 letter written to King Charles I of Spain, Cortés described the city that he would soon attack:
"The city is as big as Seville or Cordoba. The main streets are very wide and very straight; some of these are on the land, but the rest and all the smaller ones are half on land, half canals where they paddle their canoes." (From "An Age of Voyages: 1350-1600," by Mary Wiesner-Hanks, Oxford University Press, 2005)
He noted the city's richness, saying that it had a great marketplace where "sixty thousand people come each day to buy and sell..." Its merchandise included "ornaments of gold and silver, lead, brass, copper, tin, stones, shells, bones and feathers ..."
In June 2017, officials with Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) announced they had discovered an ancient ceremonial ball court and an Aztec temple dedicated to the wind god Ehécatl, both of which were likely in use from A.D. 1481 until 1519 in Tenochtitlan, in modern-day Mexico City. Nearby the ball court, archaeologists discovered the neck bones of 30 infants and children. The findings were part of the Urban Archaeology Program, in which archaeologists are uncovering the remains of the razed. Aztec capital.
Origins of Tenochtitlán
According to legend, the Aztec people left their home city of Aztlan nearly 1,000 years ago. Scholars do not know where Aztlan was, but according to ancient accounts one of these Aztec groups, known as the Mexica, founded Tenochtitlán in 1325.
The legend continues that Huitzilopochtli, the god of war, the sun and human sacrifice, is said to have directed the Mexica to settle on the island. He "ordered his priests to look for the prickly pear cactus and build a temple in his honor. They followed the order and found the place on an island in the middle of the lake ..." writes University of Madrid anthropologist Jose Luis de Rojas in his book "Tenochtitlán: Capital of the Aztec Empire" (University of Florida Press, 2012).
De Rojas notes that the "early years were difficult." People lived in huts, and the temple for Huitzilopochtli "was made of perishable material." Also in the beginning, Tenochtitlán was under the sway of another city named Azcapotzalco, to which they had to pay tribute.
Political instability at Azcapotzalco, combined with an alliance with the cities of Texcoco and Tlacopan, allowed the Tenochtitlán ruler Itzcoatl (reign 1428-1440) to break free from Azcapotzalco's control and assert the city's independence.

Over the next 80 years, the territory controlled by Tenochtitlán and its allies grew, and the city became the center of a new empire. The tribute that flowed in made the inhabitants (at least the elite) wealthy. "The Mexica extracted tribute from the subjugated groups and distributed the conquered lands among the victors, and wealth began to flow to Tenochtitlán," writes de Rojas, noting that this resulted in rapid immigration into the city.
The city itself would come to boast an aqueduct that brought in potable water and a great temple dedicated to both Huitzilopochtli (the god who led the Mexica to the island) and Tlaloc, a god of rain and fertility.
Aztec social organization
The people of Tenochtitlán were divided into numerous clan groups called calpulli (which means "big house"), and these in turn consisted of smaller neighborhoods. "Usually, the calpulli was made up of a group of macehaultin (commoner) families led by pipiltin (nobles)" writes California State University professor Manuel Aguilar-Moreno in his book "Handbook to Life in the Aztec World" (Oxford University Press, 2006).
Fray Diego Durán, a Spaniard who lived in Mexico a few decades after Cortés' conquest, wrote that King Motecuhzoma (or Montezuma) I, who reigned from 1440 to 1469, created an education system where every neighborhood had to have a school or temple to educate youth.
In those places "they will learn religion and correct comportment. They are to do penance, lead hard lives, live with strict morality, practice for warfare, do physical work, fast, endure disciplinary measures, draw blood from different parts of the body, and keep watch at night..." (Translation by Doris Heyden)
Another feature of Tenochtitlán's society was that it had a strict class system, one that affected the clothes people wore and even the size of the houses they were allowed to build. "Only the great noblemen and valiant warriors are given license to build a house with a second story; for disobeying this law a person receives the death penalty..." Fray Durán wrote.
Among the people considered to be in the lower classes were the porters the city relied on. The lack of wheeled vehicles and pack animals meant that the city's goods had to be brought in by canoe or human lifting. Surviving depictions show porters carrying loads on their backs with a strap secured to their forehead.
Trade and currency
As Tenochtitlán's empire grew so did its trade. Aguilar-Moreno writes that a pivotal moment in the city's economic history was its capture of the nearby city of Tlatelolco in 1474. He notes that Tlatelolco was a "trade city" and that the "union of these two cities made the site of Tenochtitlan-Tlatelolco the economic and political center of the Valley of Mexico." [Related: Aztec Conquerors Reshaped Genetic Landscape of Mexico]
Instead of minted currency people bartered for goods using "cacao beans for small transactions, cotton blankets for mid-range ones, and quills filled with gold dust for large business operations," writes researcher Carroll Riley in her book "Rio del Norte: People of the Upper Rio Grande From Earliest Time to the Pueblo Revolt" (University of Utah Press, 1995).
She notes that metallurgy played a major role in Tenochtitlán's economy and society. "Metallurgy was now well established for copper, silver, and gold; there was even enough metal to allow copper to be used for agriculture and industrial tools as well as for armaments and jewellery."
Aztec writing
The writing used by the people of Tenochtitlán, and by other Aztec groups, was what researchers call "pictorial." This means that "it is composed predominately of figural images that bear some likeness to, or visual association with, the ideas, things, or actions they represent," writes Elizabeth Boone in her book "Stories in Red and Black: Pictorial Histories of the Aztecs and Mixtecs" (University of Texas Press, 2000). She notes, however, that this system of writing "also contains abstractions and other marks that were arbitrarily assigned certain meanings, meanings unrelated to their likeness." [Related: Amazing Aztecs Were Math Whizzes Too]
The Aztecs used this writing system to create "codices" made from the bark of fig trees. "Hundreds of manuscripts existed at the time of the Aztecs. All but eleven disappeared with the arrival of the Europeans. The majority were destroyed in a bonfire ordered by [Fray] Juan de Zumárraga in 1535," writes Houston Museum of Natural Science curator Dirk Van Tuerenhout in his book "The Aztecs: New Perspectives" (ABC-CLIO, 2005). He notes that the Spanish priests objected to the Aztec religious content in the codices.
Templo Mayor
At the heart of the city was a sacred area surrounded by a wall. "Within the enclosure were more than seventy buildings, and these were surrounded by a wall decorated with images of serpents, called a coatepantli," writes de Rojas.
Archaeologists are still trying to determine exactly what this sacred area looked like, and how it changed over time, but scholars know for sure that the greatest structure was a place that the Spaniards called the "Templo Mayor" (main temple). As mentioned earlier, it was dedicated to the gods Huitzilopochtli and Tlaloc.
"Standing about ninety feet [27 meters] high, the majestic structure consisted of two stepped pyramids rising side by side on a huge platform. It dominated both the Sacred Precinct and the entire city," writes Metropolitan Museum of Art curator Heidi King in an online article.
Two long, broad, staircases led to the top of monument where two temples stood. "The temple structures on top of each pyramid were dedicated to and housed the images of the two important deities," writes King.
It was a place where great, and gruesome, rituals were performed. "We know of human sacrifice at the top of the Templo Mayor, but it also was the scene of athletes and dancers moving gracefully in and around platforms and braziers," writes University of Utah professor Antonio Serrato-Combe in his book "The Aztec Templo Mayor: A Visualization" (The University of Utah Press, 2001).
The human sacrifice element should not be underestimated, though. Serrato-Combe points out that there were two Tzompantli (skull racks) located near the Templo Mayor, a bigger one to the west and a smaller one to the north.
A Spanish account of a sacrifice reads that "the high priest who wielded the sacrificial knife struck the blows that smashed through the chest. He then thrust his hand into the cavity which he had opened to rip out the still beating heart. This he held high as an offering to the sun..." (Account by Fray Toribio de Benavente Motolinia, from the book "The Aztec Templo Mayor: A Visualization")
The fall of Tenochtitlán
Michael Smith, a professor at the State University of New York at Albany, notes that when Cortés landed in Mexico in 1519 he was, initially, greeted with gifts of gold from Tenochtitlán's ruler Motecuhzoma (or Montezuma) II. The king may have been hoping that the gifts would appease the Spanish and make them go away, but it had the opposite effect.
"The gold, of course, made the Spaniards more anxious than ever to see the city. Gold was what they sought," Smith writes in his book "The Aztecs" (Blackwell Publishing, 2003).
Cortés pushed on to Tenochtitlán, where Motecuhzoma II again gave the conquistador a warm welcome. Cortes then repaid the ruler by taking him prisoner and trying to rule the city in his name. This arrangement quickly soured with dissident groups naming Cuitlahuac, the king's brother, to take over from the soon-to-be-killed Motecuhzoma.
Cortés fled the city on June 30, 1520, but within several months started marching back with a great army to conquer it. Smith notes that this force was made up of 700 Spaniards and 70,000 native troops who had allied themselves with the Spanish.
"Much of the Spanish success was owed to the political astuteness of Hernando Cortés, who quickly divined the disaffection towards the Mexica that prevailed in the eastern empire."

This army laid siege to Tenochtitlán, destroying the aqueduct and trying to cut off food supplies to the hundreds of thousands of people in the city. Making matters worse is that the inhabitants of the city had recently been decimated by a smallpox plague to which they had no immunity.
"The illness was so dreadful that no one could walk or move. The sick were so utterly helpless that they could only lie on the beds like corpses..." wrote Friar Bernardino de Sahagún (from "The Aztecs" book).
The sheer size of Cortés force, their firepower and the plague ravaging Tenochtitlán made victory inevitable for the Spaniards. The city was theirs in August 1521. Smith notes that the Tlaxcallan soldiers that were in Cortés force "went on to massacre many of the remaining inhabitants of Tenochtitlán."
Smith notes that an elegy for the city was later written, it reads:
Broken spears lie in the roads; we have torn our hair in grief. The houses are roofless now, and their walls are red with blood. We have pounded our hands in despair against the adobe walls, for our inheritance, our city, is lost and dead. The shields of our warriors were its defense, but they could not save it.
(Translated from the Nahuatl language by Miguel León-Portilla)
The ancient city had fallen, and a new Spanish colonial city would be built atop its ruins.

Man City signing this €35m Serie A wall as Kompany's successor would make them unbreachable at the back
by Siddhant Lazar June 13, 2019, 12:30 pm
Manchester City opinion: Should Guardiola make a move for Kostas Manolas?
According to the Manchester Evening News, Manchester City have taken a keen interest in Serie A star Kostas Manolas. The 27-year-old has had a rather uneventful season with AS Roma and given the club's struggles, he has been linked with a move away.
The likes of Arsenal, Manchester United and even Juventus have all been linked to the centre-back. But it seems that with Vincent Kompany leaving, the Greek centre-back does seem like a good replacement.
Not to mention, his meagre release clause does make him a rather cheap choice, compared to a few others. The Cityzens have been linked with moves for Harry Maguire and even Matthijs de Ligt over the last few months.
It's been an eventful time for the club, bidding a fitting farewell for club legend Vincent Kompany, which does leave them without a proper centre-back pairing. That means that the club has to spend again on a new centre-back.
However, adding someone like Maguire or even de Ligt would see Manchester City spend very heavily. That is not something they can do or even should do right now, given that the club should have other targets in mind.
A new central midfielder and maybe another striker to help Sergio Aguero in the summer window, not spending over the odds for a centre-back. It's why a move for Kostas Manolas makes a lot of sense and his release clause will help.
The Greek star is a world-class centre-back. Fast, strong and confident on and off the ball, the Greece international epitomises just what Manchester City needs. While there might be questions about whether he can adjust to the Premier League, that should come with time.
But Kostas Manolas' mentality and aggression will play a big part in helping him fit at the club. It's just what Manchester City needs next season and Manolas is a class apart from either John Stones or Aymeric Laporte.
The AS Roma man is a classy centre-back and more importantly a solid man to have in the case of an emergency.

Manchester City need a few additions in the summer window and one of them should be Kostas Manolas. The 27-year-old will be able to make a big impact at the club and with time, he should help replace Vincent Kompany.

Joe Biden 'absolutely' believes systemic racism exists in law enforcement

FBI director urges officials to 'be conscious of the rules' when handling classified documents
Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden said there is "absolutely" systemic racism in law enforcement, arguing that he believes the problem exists "across the board."
Speaking during an interview Tuesday night on "CBS Evening News," the former vice president made the remarks after being asked by host Norah O'Donnell if he believes that racial biases exist in policing on a systemic level.
"Absolutely, but it's not just in law enforcement, it's across the board. It's in housing, it's in education, and it's in everything we do. It's real. It's genuine. It's serious. And it is — it is able to be dealt with," Biden replied.
The presidential hopeful went on to argue that racism being systemic in law enforcement does not make all cops racist or bad people.
"Look, not all law enforcement officers are racist. My Lord, there are some really good, good cops out there. But the way in which it works right now is we've seen too many examples of it," he said.
While Biden's stance on this aligns him with progressives, the agreement ends there.
Asked by O'Donnell if he supports defunding the police, Biden said no.
"No, I don't support defunding the police. I support conditioning federal aid to police, based on whether or not they meet certain basic standards of decency and honorableness. And, in fact, are able to demonstrate they can protect the community and everybody in the community," he told the CBS host.
Joe Biden speaks via video link at George Floyd's funeral service.Reuters
The idea to "defund the police" grew out of protests in response to the murder of 46-year-old George Floyd, an unarmed black man killed by a white police officer.
Protests and riots erupted across the nation over the past two weeks in a show of outrage against the killing of Floyd in Minneapolis.
Floyd could be heard in video of the event pleading that he could not breathe while being pinned down by since-fired Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin for over eight minutes.
The video sparked a nationwide conversation about the prevalence of police brutality against minorities.
Defunding the police has become a slogan of sorts for those participating in protests when calling for police reform.
The idea has divided moderate Democrats, who have argued for a more measured approach to police reform, from progressives who want to radically transform the criminal justice system.
A spokeswoman for Biden's campaign said Monday that the presidential hopeful "does not believe that police should be defunded," but "hears and shares the deep grief and frustration of those calling out for change, and is driven to ensure that justice is done and that we put a stop to this terrible pain."

Q: commandLink inside datatable redirect to servlet only work for first time click I'm using PrimeFace 4.0. There is a datatable which list some documents of the login user. When user click on one row of datatable, it will open a new page and display PDF content of the document. It works for the 1st click, after 1st click on the same original page (which list documents) clicking on any element will open a new window but it navigate to the home page.
The datatable looks like this:
<p:dataTable id="tableLicenseeDocuments" value="#{pc_LicenseeDocumentsBean.documentList}" var="document">

<p:column sortBy="documentName" headerText="#{bundle['header.name']}"  >
    <h:commandLink value="#{document.documentName}"  action="#{documentsBean.viewFile(document)}" ajax="false" target="_blank"/>
</p:column>

</p:dataTable>

The DocumentBean is in session scope, the action viewFile looks like this:
public void viewFile(DocumentDto document)  {
    FacesContext faceContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    ExternalContext extContext = faceContext.getExternalContext();
    PortletRequest portletRequest = (PortletRequest) extContext.getRequest();
    PortletSession pSession = portletRequest.getPortletSession(true);
    pSession.setAttribute("document", document , PortletSession.APPLICATION_SCOPE);
    String baseUrl = extContext.getRequestContextPath();
    String url = baseUrl + "/DisplayPDFServlet";
    try {
        String encodeURL = extContext.encodeRedirectURL(url, null);
        extContext.redirect(encodeURL);
    } catch (Exception e) {
         // Handle the exception here ...
    } finally {
         faceContext.responseComplete();
    }

The page includes datatable is loaded by user click on side menu, which is also commandLink, going to back bean to load the data, then display, the lifecycle of the displaying the page is: (please note after phase 5, there is an extra phase 1 RESOTRE_VIEW, why there is an extra RESOTRE_VIEW phase here, is the view already restored?)

1.START PHASE RESTORE_VIEW(1)

When user 1st time click on the row of the datatable, which open a new window and display the content, the life cycle is like following:

1.START PHASE RESTORE_VIEW(1)

7.START PHASE UPDATE_MODEL_VALUES(4)
8.END PHASE UPDATE_MODEL_VALUES(4)
9.START PHASE INVOKE_APPLICATION(5)
10.END PHASE INVOKE_APPLICATION(5)

On the same page has the datatable, when user 2nd click on the row, it actually goes to home page:

1.START PHASE RESTORE_VIEW(1)
2.END PHASE RESTORE_VIEW(1)
3.START PHASE RENDER_RESPONSE(6)
4.END PHASE RENDER_RESPONSE(6)

It's actually a Portlet, but I think the problem is JSF-related. I've been struggle on it for couple days, any advice will be much appreciated!

USC WiSE » Our Programs » Grants and Awards » Faculty » WiSE Gabilan Jr. Chairs
WiSE Gabilan Assistant Professorship
The Gabilan Assistant Professorship is one of the recruitment and retention tools provided by the WiSE program and is awarded to new faculty as part of the start-up package, as well as current junior faculty nominated (typically after the third year review) for exemplary performance. In certain disciplines named professorships for junior faculty add prestige to the appointment and may leverage additional funding and awards. The most important criterion to be used in awarding the professorship is the excellence of the candidate. Other criteria include advancing the goals of the WiSE program and reducing the under-representation of women. The exact way in which the funds are distributed can be flexible and the details negotiated by the dean and the WiSE program director.
Guidelines for Appointment:
Goal: To aid in recruiting and retaining outstanding junior faculty who will increase the representation of women in science and engineering at USC and to advance their careers towards tenure.
Amount: Awards would typically range between $10-25K per year. Recruitment awards are granted for a period of three years, with a possibility for renewal for two additional years, or until the recipient receives tenure, whichever comes first. Awards to existing faculty are granted for a period of three years or until the recipient receives tenure, whichever comes first.
The most important criterion is the excellence of the candidate. The Department Chair (or appropriate Section or Program Head) must make the case that the candidate is at the top of the cohort of applicants in the specific field of the application and would be deserving of such honor at any top ranked university in the US. Supplementary materials that can be used in making a compelling case for the excellence of the candidate include, but are not limited to, letters of recommendation, other honors and evidence of excellence, competitive offers, etc. The Chair should also address how the recruitment or retention will advance the goals of the WiSE program.
Because time is important in junior appointments, during the recruitment process the Director of the WiSE Program will make the decision expeditiously, in consultation with members of the Advisory Board as appropriate. An ad hoc committee, comprised of senior faculty from various WiSE-eligible departments and the WiSE Advisory Board, will review renewal applications as well as new nominations and make recommendations to the WiSE Director. Chairs are encouraged to consult with the Director of the WiSE Program on the criteria for granting the Gabilan Assistant Professsorship and the supplemental materials that would be useful in making the case.

Denied for a car loan? Don't worry!
If you are denied a car loan, refrain from re-applying with different lenders and look into your current situation.
Lenders take a lot into account before they decide to approve a person for a loan, and there are several reasons why a person's application might be denied. Loan denial does not feel good, but instead of seeking an approval with another lender immediately or giving up on yourself, look at your denied loan application as a blessing in disguise. Realizing what your options are post-loan denial is the best thing that you can do for your financial health.
1. Understand Your Credit ReportWhether it's a car loan or credit card – the information that you have on your credit report indicates if you're a good candidate for taking out a loan or not. Errors on a credit report isn't uncommon, and having errors will influence a lender's decision. If you've been denied for a loan, request copies of your credit report from the major credit bureaus and look closely for any inaccurate information. One in four people have errors on their credit report, and even the smallest red flag can cause your credit score to drop quite a lot. If you see something eerie on your credit report, call the credit bureau and dispute what you believe to be wrong.
2. Review Your DebtsThis might seem obvious, but we mean really look at your debts. The only thing that lenders see about you is the information that you have on your credit report. Consider your debt-to-income ratio, how frequently you make payments, if you have any recently acquired debts or if you have any negative marks on your credit report from bankruptcy or collection agencies. Alongside your debts, look at how much money you have saved too. If you already have a ton of debt, are unemployed or have only been working for a short amount of time, consider getting a solid savings plan in check and try to knock down some of your debt before you re-apply for a loan.
3. See Your AlternativesUnderstanding the reasons why you might have been denied for a loan will help you better discern why your application was rejected. Sure, you didn't get approved for the loan that you spent hours applying for, but that doesn't mean that you never will. If you're trying to take out a loan to better your credit score, consider taking out a secure credit card to help boost your score and then try for a car loan in the future. If you're prepared to start building better financial health but don't know where to start, talk to a credit counselor for help with budgeting, paying off debt and getting your credit report back on track.

EXCLUSIVE ROOMS
CONCEPT AND HISTORY
Once upon a time there was an elegant Palace, built in 1781, where the aristocracy and bons vivants danced, enjoyed lavish banquets and admired new works of art. A different Palace, with its graceful architecture and its history and experience, that hosted a number of irreverent figures associated with curious expressions in Portuguese, such as "farrobodó" and "à grande e à francesa".
On 25 November, the original mansion, then owned by Dom Francisco de Paula de Portugal e Castro, 8th Count Vimioso and 2nd Marquis of Valença, the palace was destroyed by a fierce fire. (...)
On 2 June, Luís Rebelo de Quintela (? -1782), a Judge of the highest courts in the country, bought land from the Brotherhood of the Sacramento, in the parish of Encarnação, now occupied by the 1st, 2nd and part of the 3rd property on Rua do Alecrim, as well as part of the Cordoaria Nova and Cavalariças da Casa Real situated within the Fernandine walls, with 44.66 m frontage and 47.52 m at the back, as far as Rua do Tesouro (now Rua António Maria Cardoso), which included the ruins of the mansion. (...)
The future 2nd Baron of Quintela and 1st Conde of Farrobo, christened Joaquim Pedro de Quintela, was born in the mansion on Rua do Alecrim, on 11 December. Despite his importance in political, social and cultural life in Portugal at the time, he will always be remembered for his excesses and revels. And intrinsically associated with the Palace is the famous Portuguese expression "farrobodó". (...)
Junot inspired the expression "à grande à francesa" (in great style). For nine months, the duration of the first French invasion, General Junot (1771-1813) established his headquarters, as well as his official residence, at Quintela Palace. Portugal was devastated by the French troops, who committed great atrocities. But Junot, indifferent to the poverty and misery the invaders also caused in Lisbon, moved into the Quintela Palace, on Rua do Alecrim, where he live in shameless luxury, "à grande e à francesa". (...)
The Dukes of Abrantes, Junot and his wife Laure Permond, organised parties and balls at the Quintela Palace, the most ostentatious of which was to celebrate Epiphany. (...)
Significant enlargement of the palace, directed by the architect Joannes Baptista Hilbrath. Also involved in this project were the plasterer Félix Salla, the decorator Giuseppe Cinatti (1808-1879) and the painters António Manuel da Fonseca (1796-1890) and Cirilo Volkmar Machado (1748-1823). The construction of tunnels that allegedly lead to the Teatro de São Carlos and to Cais do Sodré date from this period. (...)
In 1828, long before airbnb, the owners already did business with the palace and it was rented to the French Consul. (...)
A decree issued by Dom Miguel, on 15 March, stripped Joaquim Pedro Quintela of all his titles, privileges and rights, forcing him to flee to an English ship anchored in the Tagus to avoid imprisonment. The Union Jack was raised over the palace to prevent it from be sacked by miguelistas. The Baron had supported the cause of Dom Pedro IV with a loan of 30,000 pounds sterling, which is why Dom Miguel decreed that he had 24 hours to leave Lisbon. He was forced to sell all his properties to his friend Lord William Russell, taking refuge, under the name of Mr. Smith, at the home of Diogo Carlos Duff, another English friend. (...)
The 1st Count of Farrobo, Joaquim Pedro de Quintela, died on 24 September, in his residence on what was then called Calçada do Alecrim. Following the bankruptcy of Quintela-Farrobo, the palace was rented out, but never lost its class. In 1873 and 1874, it housed the Grémio Literário (Literary Guild). (...)
Following a long court case that lasted three decades and led to the collapse of the Quintela-Farrobo empire, the palace on Calçada do Alecrim was put up for public auction. It was bought by the capitalist Francisco Augusto Mendes Monteiro, who had immigrated to Brazil, where he married Ana Thereza Carolina de Carvalho, also a Portuguese emigrant, who inherited a large family fortune from her parents, built by her maternal grandfather who had had a monopoly of the trade in coffee, precious stones and sea transport between Brazil and Portugal.
Francisco Augusto Mendes Monteiro's son, António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro, the famous "Monteiro dos Milhões" (Monteiro the Millionaire), the heir to a great fortune, came to Portugal with his parents when he was still young. He married Perpétua Augusta Carvalho Monteiro, returned to Brazil and then came back to live in Portugal in 1876. He set up home in the Quintela Palace Farrobo, at Rua do Alecrim, 70, the palace that his father Francisco Augusto had bought from the heirs of the Baron of Quintela and Conde Farrobo. A cultured and eccentric figure, he carried out the last major artistic alterations to the palace. Perhaps inspired by his construction of the remarkable Quinta da Regaleira in Sintra. The requests he made of the Italian architect Luigi Manini were numerous and incredible, including the order that the gate to his tomb in the Cemitério dos Prazeres, also full of symbolism, be opened with the same key that opened Quinta da Regaleira and his palace on Rua do Alecrim in Lisbon. António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro kept in this palace his library and valuable collections of art (painting, sculpture, iconography, gold and silver, clocks and watches, etc.) and of natural science (entomology, malacology (invertebrates), ornithology, herbarium, etc.). His collection of Lepidoptera, the 2nd largest in the world, consisted of many thousands of species, some collected by António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro himself. His collection of invertebrates included approximately 10,000 species. The herbarium was considered invaluable and his collection of hummingbirds was also important.
The pavements in the streets of AACM's properties in Lisbon (and indeed in Quinta da Regaleira) are decorated with hexagrams in basalt on a white background. (...)
The Museu Instrumental Português was housed in Quintela Palace. Its collection consists of approximately five hundred musical instruments. The collection was significantly increased by instruments collected by Alfredo Keil and others from the Lambertini collection (acquired by Carvalho Monteiro), as well as other donations and deposits. Michel'angelo Lambertini was the curator of the Museu Instrumental Português until it was acquired by the Conservatório Nacional (National Conservatory), in 1931. (...)
According to the division of his estate, that property was passed on to his son, Pedro Augusto de Carvalho Monteiro, and Quintela Palace, with a property value of 630 contos, was inherited by his daughter, Maria de Melo de Carvalho Monteiro. (...)
Maria da Nazaré Monteiro de Almeida married Sebastião José de Carvalho Daun e Lorena – 8th Marquis of Pombal (1903-1965), on 18 April. They had two children, Francisco de Carvalho Daun e Lorena (1928-1929) and Manuel Sebastião de Almeida de Carvalho Daun e Lorena (1930). (...)
Maria de Melo Carvalho Monteiro died and the palace passed on to her daughter, Maria da Nazaré Monteiro de Almeida, who had married the 8th Marquis of Pombal. (...)
Manuel Sebastião de Almeida de Carvalho Daun e Lorena, great-grandson of António Carvalho Monteiro and the future 9th Marquis of Pombal, was born and christened in the palace. (...)
At the end of Augusto Ataíde's contract, part of Quintela Palace was leased to IADE. The Instituto de Arte e Decoração – Escola Internacional de Decoradores moved here from Rua das Flores. The teachers and staff at IADE included many eminent figures in Portuguese arts: Lima de Freitas, Manuel Lapa, Manuel Costa Martins, Manuel da Costa Cabral, Rafael Salinas Calado, Eduardo Nery, António Pedro, Egídio Álvaro, João Vieira, Keil do Amaral, Artur Rosa, Júlio Gil, Jorge Viana, Manuel Rio de Carvalho, António de Macedo, Fernando Garcia, Jorge Listopad, Artur Anselmo, Henrique Tavares e Castro, etc., as well as renowned international designers, including Bruno Munari, John David Bear and Claude Ternat. (...)
Quintela Palace has been reborn in the hands of three partners who realised that it was a unique business opportunity, where they could develop an original concept never before attempted in the capital. It was a challenging and lengthy project due to a number of conditioning factors, taking more than a year and a half to be completed, supported by excellent partnerships.
The first priority was to restore the paintwork and stained glass, maintaining the original characteristics, remaining true to the palace's historical past. The architect, Frederico Valsassina, conceived a design in which classical and modern are harmoniously combined. The decoration was designed by the architect Catarina Cabral, who sought pieces in a restrained and timeless style to be integrated into the atmosphere of the palace without overwhelming the grandeur of its details and frescos. (...)
The story of this elegant palace will now resume in 2016 as a place to escape from everyday routines, in an extravagant escape from the banal.
In the renewed Palácio Chiado, the historic rooms will now host alternatives for fine dining and other forms of entertainment for Lisbon residents and visitors. As an outstanding cosmopolitan venue in the city, it is a timeless blend of history and modern life. (...)
Renovation is the key-word when talking about Palácio Chiado. In September of 2018, Palácio Chiado goes under a few refurbishment works and reopens in October, with new gastronomic concepts, albeit with the same diversity and originality it has always had. With exquisite gastronomic and artistic curatorships, this is the FOOD & ART spot of Lisbon. (...)

Best Fast Bowlers: Top 10 Greatest Fast Bowlers of All Time
By Jatin Sethi
Fast bowlers are the core elements of any cricket team. They can make a huge difference on any particular day for the team. Cricket is a batsman game from the past few decades but still there are bowlers who have dominated this game single handily for years and keeping the audience in excitement always. Still the bowler finds its way to terrorize. Today we will look at the top 10 greatest fast bowlers of all time.
10. Dennis Lillee
Dennis Lillee is on the 10th spot in the Top 10 Greatest Fast Bowlers of all time. Lillee was known for his aggressive style and he is one of the most ruthless fast bowlers the world has ever seen. In a total of 70 matches, he took 355 Test wickets which was a record during his time. Facing Lillee at his prime always been difficult for any batsmen around the world. Many great bowlers around the world knew him as the one who set up the pioneer of fast bowling in the Cricketing world. He was the first bowler to surpass the barrier of 350 wickets in test cricket.
ODIs Stats – 63 matches, 103 wickets, 20.82 average, 3.58 Economy
Tests Stats– 70 matches, 355 wickets, 23.92 average, 3.58 Economy
9. Sir Richard Hadlee
One of the greatest New Zealand bowler ever in their history. If a tag of Intelligent pacer in cricket it would be suited on Sir Richard Hadlee. Most accurate bowler and had the ability to confuse the batsman with his lethal outswinger makes him most destructive bowler of his era. The first ever bowler in the history to breach the barrier of 400 wickets mark and ended at 431 wickets which was highest by that time among any bowler.
ODIs Stats– 115 matches, 158 wickets, 21.56 average, 3.30 Economy
8. Allan Donald
The only superstar of South African bowling in the 90s. Donald troubled the great batsman with sheer pace. The unplayable spell against Mike Atherton at Trent bridge defined what this genius was stand for – Short length deliveries at Raw pace Atherton was no where in picture. 21.78 average is one of best average in history among bowler who took 200 wickets – Allan Donald Stands above rest here.
ODIs Stats- 164 matches, 272 wickets, 21.78 average, 4.15 Economy
Tests Stats- 72 matches, 330 wickets, 22.25 average, 2.83 Economy
7. Waqar Younis
Waqar Younis was one of the greatest fast bowlers Pakistan has ever produced. He is one of the best swingers on the ball. He is well known for his capability of reverse swing. His toe-crushing yorkers are the nightmare for any batting lineup around the world. The former Pakistan legend has more fifers than anyone in the history of the game. Waqar Younis also holds the record for the best bowling figures as a captain in an ODI(7/36).
ODIs Stats: 262 matches, 416 wickets, 23.84 average, 4.68 economy
Tests Stats: 87 matches, 373 wickets, 23.56 average, 3.25 economy
6. Dale Steyn
When you talk about swing, pace, and rhythm you have to talk about Dale Steyn. Steyn is one of the best fast bowlers of his generation. After the era of Allan Donald, it was Steyn who led the fast attack of the South African team all over the world. There are only a few bowlers around the world who can distract any batsmen with both pace and swing and Steyn is one of them. Getting 400th test wickets in just 80 matches shows the caliber of the modern great.

5. Glenn Mcgrath
It would not be wrong to say that McGrath was a backbone for the Australian team in the 90s. His 563 Test wickets in 124 matches are the most by any fast bowler which was later broken by James Anderson. Glenn McGrath is unquestionably one of the greatest bowlers Australia has ever produced. He also had a total of 381 wickets in 250 matches that too with an average of 22.02. He mostly relies on his length and swinging deliveries rather than focusing on pace.
Tests Stats– 124 matches, 563 Wickets, 21.64 average, 2.5 Economy
4. Malcolm Marshall
Marshall aggression is well known in the history of the game. If you talk about aggression and fiery bouncer you have to talk about the West Indies legend Malcolm Marshall. The dominance of West Indian Cricket during the 70s and 80s is mainly due to their top-class bowling and fearsome batting. Malcolm Marshall was leading the pace attack during his time. His ability to swing the bowl and his fiery bouncers are always difficult to deal with for any batsmen.
3. Courtney Walsh
Courtney Walsh does not need any introduction in this list. Taking 500 test match wickets is not a joke and he is the first bowler to achieve this feat in the history of test cricket.
His partnership with Curtly Ambrose is well known and both are phenomenal for West Indian cricket.
Tests Stats: 132 matches, 519 wickets, 24.45 average, 2.54 economy
2. Curtly Ambrose
Curtly Ambrose is well known for his fearsome and economical bowling throughout his career. He took 405 wickets in 98 matches that he has played with West Indies. His economy of 2.31 is one of the best in the history of test cricket. He has always been a commanding bowler for his team who can change the fortune of the game with his spells. An average of 20.99 and an economy of 2.30 just prove the player's caliber. He is just unplayable for any batsmen.
1. Wasim Akram
Wasim Akram was rated as the greatest fast bowler of all time among top 10. The influence of this man on the cricketing pitch is just unmatchable. He is known for his reverse swing and toe-crushing swinging yorkers. He was a part of the world cup winning team in 1992 and also adjudged the Man of the Match for his all-around performance of 3/49 and 33 of 18. The world of cricket may never witness a bowler like Wasim Akram again. His capability of swinging the ball in both ways and his lethal Yorkers are just impossible to face. He along with Waqar Younis in the 90s formed the most feared bowling pairs in the history of Pakistan cricket.
ODIs Stats– 356 matches, 502 Wickets, 23.52 average, 3.9 Economy
Tests Stats– 104 matches, 414 wickets, 23.62 average, 2.59 Economy
Top 10 Greatest Fast Bowlers of all time

San Diego: Traditions
While the campus had established several traditions by the mid-1960s, their history was short, since undergraduates were not admitted to the campus until the fall of 1964.
Beach Parties
Faculty Home Visitations
Frosh Beanies
Trip To Baja California
Watermelon Drop
Beach Parties were held on the beach in front of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography campus about a half mile from the Torrey Pines campus. One or two beach parties a year were formally organized by the Student Affairs Office. They usually started in the afternoon and lasted into the evening, with a fire, food, volleyball, touch football, and often music and dancing.
Faculty Home Visitations were held during three evenings of registration week. Early in the week, the freshmen students signed up to visit various faculty homes and were treated to a small informal gathering with punch or coffee and cookies. By 1968, 36 faculty members took part in the program, established in 1964.
Frosh Beanies were distributed to members of the freshman class at the Welcome Day picnic as a gift from the UCSD Honorary Alumni. This tradition began with the first freshman class to enter San Diego in the fall of 1964. The hats bore the class numeral and were worn during registration week.
An honor code was established by the student body in 1964 and was expanded into the dormitories which opened for the first time in fall, 1965.
The trip to the Escuela Superior de Ciencias Marinas of the Universidad Autonoma de Baja California began during Thanksgiving holiday in 1960, when a group of foreign students under the direction of Norris Rakestraw, then foreign students' advisor, visited the Mexican Marine Institution. The institution was located in Ensenada and was part of the University of Baja, with headquarters in Mexicali. At the time of the first trip, the Mexican marine school had eight students and was under the direction of Professor Pedro Mercado, an alumnus of Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Students from the Mexican Marine Institution returned the visit a year later. It developed into a twice-a-year visit, with San Diego students visiting Mexico during Christmas holidays and Mexican students visiting San Diego in May. For the last two years, the two groups played soccer, the national game of Mexico. A perpetual trophy was held by the winner. A total of nearly 250 faculty and students took part in the visit to Mexico by 1968.
The Triton was selected by the undergraduates in November, 1964 to be the school mascot. An official caricature of the mascot had not yet been developed by the mid-1960's.
Following finals in the spring, a watermelon was dropped from the seventh floor of Building B to see how far it would splatter. A watermelon queen was chosen by the students.
Welcome Day was a picnic day hosted for the freshmen and their families by the honorary alumni. It was held outdoors in the Building B Plaza on the Sunday before the start of registration week. Speeches of welcome were made and tours of the campus were arranged.

Todays ads can have a big relevancy problems, but using a retargeting strategy is one of the best ways to solve it.
With retargeting, you only show ads to people who have indicated interest in your product or website before. Usually, this behavior is signaled just by a visit to your website.
At its core, retargeting strategies are all about relevancy — and when done right, it works! One company reportedly achieved an average ROI for their retargeting campaigns of 488 percent to as much as 2054 percent. That's hundreds to thousands of dollars in revenue for every dollar they spend!
Under normal ad targeting, demographics like location, age, gender, household income and even parental status could be considered. A car dealer could target everyone within an hour's drive of their dealership lot, for instance. Or, the dealership could choose an age range and income bracket that closely matches the most common traits of their best customers.
Retargeting campaigns build these lists by applying what's known as a "tracking pixel" to their page. A list gets built from everyone who viewed the page based on their browser's cached data. In theory, the ad serves as a reminder for someone who may be willing to buy eventually but just hasn't committed yet.
With retargeting, you have content aimed at different people in the buying funnel that can be optimized towards getting to the next step.
An excellent example of this practice in action would be a retargeting campaign aimed at previous buyers. Someone who checked out of your website for an expensive purchase, like a smartphone, isn't likely going to purchase the exact same device again. If you put a pixel on the "Thank You for Your Purchase" or "Order Confirmed" page, then you can filter these individuals out and avoid showing them ads for a product they already bought.
Better yet, your ad can attempt to cross-sell them a related product or service, increasing their customer lifetime value. After all, it's often easier to get someone to make a repeat purchase than to convert a brand-new customer lead to a sale.
Of course, this is just a brief primer on retargeting. There are many more facets – like strategy – to explore. Bottomline: If you can keep the consumer's experience in mind and establish best practices based on your data, the sky is the limit for how complex and effective your retargeting campaigns can be.


Playing the music you love to remember, this Duo from Kelowna plays throughout the Okanagan Valley for clubs, pubs, parties, weddings and any other event where live music is required for dancing and/or listening. Lots of experience, great feedback from clients all over the Valley - check out their web for more info.
Glory Days played for us at a very successful retirement party with approximately 50 guests. They were the perfect choice. The band has a very extensive repertoire covering a wide range of genres, and was also happy to entertain song requests from the floor. A good part of the crowd was on the dance floor until closing and many did not want to stop. We greatly appreciated their professionalism, and, as hosts we received many compliments on the quality of the band and the selection of music performed.
We booked Glory Days for our 60th birthday celebration with family and friends of all ages. They supplied a large playlist for us to pick a favorite type of music and they played great all night. At one point, all of our guests were on the dance floor at once - a nice compliment to their song choice and talents. Nice people to work with as well. I and many of our other guests will use Glory Days again. Hope the Yacht club we were at - will as well.
I hire the dance bands for our Dance Group held in the Summerland Legion on the 2nd Saturday of each month October thru to May. I discovered 'Glory Days' and they are now one of my regulars who play for the season. They are very versatile and can play to all types of dancers. Great sound and variety. I would highly recommend them for any function. John & Linda - great couple!
We had the pleasure of hiring this band to play at a 50th Birthday Party. They were fantastic and made this special event a success.
They travel with an updated complete sound and light system. Background music can be providedfor cocktail hours, dinner and during breaks. Special theme nights such as country, 50's and classic rock can be accommodated. Friendly, professional, excellent track record - feedback is available on their web.
John has been a performing musician in Kelowna since his youth. As a guitarist, singer and song writer - he is founder of the musical family group which traveled extensively throughout Western Canada as the popular entertainment and recording band known as Shamash. With high energy covers and original works they became one of the most popular show and dance bands on the road , incl. performing as the opening act for Gino Vannelli and Fludd. John came back to Kelowna to settle down to family life, but kept his musical energy alive with such bands as Fancy That, High Henry, and Connection. Past and present, these involvements led to the formation of the popular Johnny Mac Trio and now Glory Days Duo.
Linda is a Calgary native, also part of a musical family. She taught organ and keyboard in Calgary as well as Kelowna for several years. She performed as a soloist and in various groups such as Sunflower, Take 5, Connection. She uses authentic drum traks and instrument sounds, to create full orchestral back-up appropriate to most music styles. Piano, organ, strings, brass, synth, bass, steel drum (to mention a few) - the result is captivating and REAL!
Indoor and outdoor venues can be accommodated. For outdoor events, proper electrical and covered 'stage' area are required.
