Just a quick word to say to those of you who may be interested that I am working on a new project, Temerity Justice. This is a steam punk sort of creation, which I am in the early stages of developing (proof one of stage one). Temerity is a young woman with an affinity for horses and rifles, who burns a blaze wherever she goes. While the main thrust of phase one is taking down the Hangman, there's a lot more adventure awaiting our girl and her gun as the days go by. As her opponents say, "Your temerity goes too far!" As she replies, "Well, don't I just!"

A novel Steerpike? Or going to be connected to game?
Always liked the word Temerity, heh, remember trying to use it more often after a few Reader's Digest word power sessions
It would have helped had I mentioned that in my first post, wouldn't it! At the moment it's going to be a novel. I would like it to be a comic book, but I don't have the drawing skills and don't know anyone who does. At the moment, I have three story lines that could be fleshed out into full novels, though I'm aiming to make them stand alone (where one does reference another, the reference will be explained for those who haven't read it.)
And I share your like of the word temerity. It just doesn't get used often enough!

I've done it. I've finally gone live with Temerity Justice. At present, I'm waiting for the domain name I purchased to go live (it can take up to 24 hours, apparently), but you can see it already at www.temerityjustice.jimdo.com. It doesn't look pretty at the moment, as I never did succeed in getting an artist to actually draw anything for me. However, as I had been promising to get this live for some time, I have gone with it for now. Hopefully someone will read it and be inspired to draw Temerity.
Now all I need to do is get back to writing the actual stories, rather than researching the creation of a web page.

Master of Antimony
Hi there. I'm checking it out right now. I'm reading Episode One. It seems pretty solid so far.
There is one passage that I found a bit confusing, however:
Her daughter was still inside the house at this point, playing some silly game with her dolls that she vaguely resented as she worked the fields to provide food for the pair of them. Still, she was safe, and that was the point.
On the first pass, it sounds like her daughter is the one vaguely resenting her dolls. It's a minor fix. May I suggest the following?:
"Her daughter was still inside the house at this point, playing some silly games with her dolls. She vaguely resented that, as she worked the fields to provide for the pair of them, but her daughter was safe and that was the point."
That keeps almost all of your original wording intact. You and I have different writing styles, so I wanted to preserve your flavor as much as possible in my suggestion. But it does clear up a passage that can be confusing to a reader and helps keep the forward momentum of your narrative flowing.
Okay, I'm going back to continue reading. You've got a solid grasp of writing from what I've seen so far.
EDIT: Okay, I've checked out the first part. It's 5am here and I haven't slept yet, so I'm probably going to go ahead and do that, but I'll check it out some more tomorrow.
It reads well. You give a lot of good visualization to the scene, so it is easy to draw a picture in my mind of what is going on. The action taking place is clear and concise. You've got some nice touches you put in there as well. The narrative 3rd person introspective moments that you weave in with the more concrete descriptions of things helps give a sense of of connecting the characters to the world they are in.
Edited November 8, 2014 by Miquin1
Thanks for the feedback, Miquin1. I've got to say that you're right about that sentence, I will change it and upload an amended version shortly. It's funny, but I have proof read the text three or four times, and I still seem to have missed that one (or more likely I was reading what I thought was there).
No worries. I'll usually proof my own stuff, but I always like to bring it to someone else anyway. Our minds will sometimes "fill in the blanks" on things we intended to be in there, so we can go over something several times and never notice it.
Episode two, The Noncomformists, has gone live now, which introduces Temerity as a character in her own right (she didn't really put in much of an appearance in episode one).
I'm also preparing to upload some information on one of the regions of the world, the Tannehelm Mountains, where Temerity grows up.
Episode three, Lessons Learned, has now gone live. I have also added details of the Tannehelm Mountains to the Perrenia section, as discussed in the section above.
The next flavour text will be about the country of Arrene, which is the first country that Temerity explores when she leaves the Abbey of the Blessed Mechanic.
Episode four, Leaving the abbey, has just gone live. You can read it at www.temerityjustice.com.
Episode five - The Land Guard has just gone live. This introduces the Land Guard* (naturally), the institution Temerity Justice works for in the first two phases. It's basically an anti-smuggling group, which goes out into the wilderness searching for people bringing in stuff that either should be taxed (alcohol, for example) or should be controlled (firearms, usually). It's a small, underfunded group, so Temerity's abilities with her rifle and her horse are more than welcome. Read it at www.temerityjustice.com.
* Actually, Temerity's Father had mentioned these people before, but this time they appear for real.
Edited December 5, 2014 by Steerpike1
Episode six - On the trail of the Hangman has just been published. In this one, Temerity and the rest of Sergeant Higgins' crew set off for the town of Fenton in the Level Fens, to begin the hunt of Cobb the Hangman and his gang. Read it at www.temerityjustice.com.
I've just added Episode seven, The Fenton Fugue, to the homepage. In this episode, Temerity and the other Land Guards arrive in Fenton, and begin their investigation into smuggling operations in the area. They also meet the local mayor, Bill Dervis. Read it at www.temerityjustice.com.
It might be Boxing Day here, but that doesn't give Temerity Justice the day off! Well, as a follower of the god Mon, she wouldn't know what Christmas is anyway, would she? Episode eight - the Noose Tightens, has just gone live. This sees Temerity, Sergeant Higgins and the two riflemen of the Land Guard head out into the Level Fens to investigate a supposed staging post used by Cobb the Hangman and his gang of miscreants. You can read it at www.temerityjustice.com.
And the first episode of 2015 has just been added. Episode nine, Ambuscade has just gone live. As the title suggests, not everything is going to plan for Temerity, Sergeant Higgins and the other Land Guards. Cobb the Hangman seems to be on to them and is determined to get revenge for their actions for far. You can download the episode at www.temerityjustice.com, as well as all the back issues to date.
Episode ten, Red Ears, has just gone live. Working alone once more, Temerity follows a trail to the location of one of the Hangman's chief henchmen, nicknamed Red Ears for his habit of cutting his victims ears before he kills them. Naturally, he makes a necklace out of them - nice! You can read it at www.temerityjustice.com.
Episode 11 - The Machine has just gone live. This time, Temerity confronts notorious murderer and rapist, the Machine, though no one is sure why he has that nickname. There's also an alternative version of this episode, which will appear in the Bonus Temerity section. I had two different versions of the events in this episode,, and wrote both up before opting for which one would appear. Read it at www.temerityjustice.com.
Episode 12, The Gang's All Here, has just gone live. Temerity returns to Fenton, only to find that the remaining two gangland lieutenants are waiting for her. How will she deal with them? Read it at www.temerityjustice.com.
Edited January 23, 2015 by Steerpike1
Episode 13, Hanging with the Hangman has just gone live. This time, Temerity finally catches up with Cobb the Hangman, and confronts him about his nefarious schemes. Read it at www.temerityjustice.com.
Episode 14, Payback has just gone live. With the Hangman dealt with, and his nefarious scheme at an end, Temerity helps sort out things in Fenton before reporting back to Arrene to report in with the Land Guard. Read it at www.temerityjustice.com.
That's the end of Phase 1, Temerity Justice and Cobb the Hangman. Phase two, Temerity Justice love Kyle begins next Friday
The first episode of Temerity Justice loves Kyle has just gone live. This sees Temerity setting off back towards the foothills of the Tannehelm Mountains, to link up with a fellow sergeant of the Land Guard who is investigating smuggling out there. As she goes, the weather starts to take a turn for the worse. You can read it at www.temerityjustice.com.
Episode 2, In Search of Kyle Kenton, has now gone live. Having made it to Hazelmere, Temerity sets off in search of her new partner, Sergeant Kyle Kenton. He's been operating up in the foothills for a while, and should know the lay of the land. Read it at www.temerityjustice.com.
Episode three - Cabin Fever has just gone live. The weather closes in around the town of Hazelmere, keeping the residents inside for some time. A good time to be running a bar with plentiful supplies, not a good time to be a Land Guard with ne'erdowells to track down. Read it at www.temerityjustice.com.
Episode four - A few questions asked, has just gone live. Once the weather breaks, Temerity and Kyle head out to begin investigations into smuggling and moonshining operations in and around town. You can read it at www.temerityjustice.com.
Episode 5 - Bloodied Ruins has just gone live. While out questioning the locals about smuggling and moonshining, Temerity and Kyle smell smoke on the wind, and soon come across an ominous sight. Read it at www.temerityjustice.com.

British Open Breakthroughs
Sandy Herd's Haskell Ball, 1902
During a practice round prior to the 1902 British Open at Hoylake, Sandy Herd played with amateur John Ball. Herd noticed Ball was not only using Haskell rubber-center balls instead of a guttie, but was consistently out-driving him. Herd reluctantly went into the pro shop at the end of the round, bought some of the newfangled balls and went on to win that year's Open by one stroke over Harry Vardon and James Braid.
Harry Vardon's Vardon Flyer ball, 1903
There has been no more dominant player in the British Open than Harry Vardon, who won the event six times (1896, 1898, 1899, 1903, 1911 and 1914). After his third Open win, Spalding approached Vardon with the idea of making a gutta-percha ball that would bear Vardon's name. Out of that came the Vardon Flyer, a ball Vardon used during his 1903 British Open victory. Although the ball never took hold with the public, The USGA Museum displays an original Vardon Flyer golf ball and the ball's packaging.
Gene Sarazen's Wilson sand wedge, 1932
Gene Sarazen's invention of the modern sand wedge is a well-worn tale that bears repeating. While being taught by Howard Hughes how to fly a plane, Sarazen took note of how a plane's tail adjusted downward during takeoff, spawning an idea. Sarazen reached out to his equipment company, Wilson, and had them send him half-a-dozen niblicks (the equivalent of a 9-iron). Using solder, Sarazen experimented with different amounts of mass on the sole of the clubs until he found one he felt would easily extricate the ball from sand. Sarazen took the club to the 1932 British Open, taking care to keep the club under wraps for fear it would be deemed illegal before play began. Sarazen used the club during his win at Prince's.
Greg Norman's Spalding Tour Edition ball, 1986
Greg Norman won his first major in 1986, but while the world marveled at his record-setting opening round 63 and his eventual five-shot victory that surely heralded the much-anticipated arrival of the next Nicklaus, it was the ball he used that might have signaled the greatest sea change in the game. Norman's Spalding Tour Edition was a two-piece, non-wound ball, the first such construction to win a major championship in the modern era.
John Daly's UST shafts, 1995
Although shaftmaker United Sports Technologies (UST) had been around for a few years come the 1995 British Open, it was John Daly's win at St. Andrews that brought significant attention to the fledgling brand. "Long John" used the company's Tour Weight graphite shaft not only in his Wilson Invex driver, but in his irons as well.
Mark O'Meara's Top-Flite Strata ball, 1998
Four years before Tiger Woods started dismantling tournament records with the multilayer Nike Tour Accuracy, Mark O'Meara was using the solid-core, multilayer Top-Flite Strata. Although not many players paid much attention to that, once O'Meara won the 1998 Masters and then later that year, the British Open at Royal Birkdale, the acceptance of such a ball by the top players in the world grew. By 2002, thanks largely to the success of the Titleist Pro V1, wound golf balls had all but disappeared from the PGA Tour.
Jean Van de Velde's Never Compromise putter, 1999
Jean Van de Velde made enough putts with a Never Compromise putter during the 1999 British Open at Carnoustie that he held a three-shot lead coming to the 72nd hole. We all know how that played out, but although he lost the playoff to Paul Lawrie, the cameras zoomed in often enough on the Never Compromise name on the back of Van de Velde's flat stick to bring the company the kind of notoriety it needed. A year after his epic collapse, Never Compromise brought Van de Velde back to Carnoustie to play the 18th armed only with is putter. He made 6, a score that would have won the Open a year earlier. The video still lives on YouTube.
David Duval's Nike Equipment, 2001
Tiger Woods gets most of the credit for putting Nike's swoosh in the minds of golf equipment buyers, but he wasn't the first player to win a major title actually using a set of Nike irons. That honor belongs to David Duval, whose prototype set of forged Nike irons were in the bag for his win at the 2001 Open Championship at Royal Lytham. The victory, which featured a third-round 65 in which Duval didn't have a birdie putt longer than 12 feet, was a coming-out party for an iron design that through Duval's input would become the Forged Pro Combo, which was introduced the next year.
Todd Hamilton's Sonartec hybrid, 2004
No one may have better first-hand knowledge of the versatility of hybrid clubs than Todd Hamilton, who got up-and-down an astonishing 13 of 14 times with his Sonartec MD Transition club (a 17-degree model bent to 14 degrees) during his playoff win at 2004 British Open at Royal Troon. So amazing was Hamilton's prowess with the club (he used it to tee off on several holes as well as for some approach shots as well as chipping) that five days after the Open, Sonartec received a call from the R&A to see if the club conformed to the Rules of Golf. Luckily for Hamilton, it did. And just as fortuitous for everyday golfers was the exposure it brought to hybrids, a club that is now a must-have for the majority of players.

Summary: Rabbi Kosak recounts a generational shift in thinking he discerns in some of his students. He connects that to the recent rise in anti-semitism and offers some questions and topics for your Passover table.
It was after Cantor Bitton's Jewish TV theme song program. I turned around and asked my 12th graders, "why do you think there were/are so many Jews in Hollywood?" They didn't accept the implicit premise of my question–that either there was a much higher percentage of Jews in Hollywood than in the general population–or explained that Jewish presence was just about contacts and who you know. It was as though my question struck their ears as racist.
I was startled. First, I'm familiar with the history of why Jews migrated into Hollywood–that we weren't shut out of it because it wasn't an established industry; or that our long status as a minority within a larger and sometimes alien culture meant that we learned to laugh to survive, and consequently produced many comedians; or that Jews possess a historically-earned disposition to be boundary-crossers, ending up in the first wave of many new industries and at the forefront of political movements.
But this was not about me possessing some knowledge that they did not. It was something more critical and somewhat new. You see, this was a case where my twelfth graders and I simply think in different categories. That matters deeply because it influences the way you see and interpret the rest of the world.
Let me try to unpack this. There is a new generation coming up who increasingly don't hold by notions of Jewish uniqueness or particularism. It's not just that they hold all people are created equal–many previous generations believed that as well. Very ancient midrashim (Jewish fables used to interpret the Bible) believed that. Heck, the Torah holds that. It's more that the very notion that a people or culture might have certain transmitted traits doesn't cross their radar. Such a category doesn't exist for them.
That's not all bad. In fact, such a stance has decided advantages–and also some risks. To explain this, we need to take a detour.
Twelve days, Nan Lipton sent me a link to an article written by Jonathan Weisman. She wanted to get my bead on the piece. Weisman's an editor in the Washington Bureau of the NY Times. The article was entitled, "Anti-Semitism Is Rising. Why Aren't American Jews Speaking Up?" Weisman's basic premise is that the last two years have seen a spike of anti-semitic incidents but that the American Jewish community isn't doing much to address this or talk about it.
Neither his premise nor his article were very accurate or useful. I can think of several times when our Portland community–and its leadership have spoken up after anti-Semitic banners have been hung on freeway overpasses, or when a van painted with anti-Semitic screeds has been seen and reported. That was also the case in Cleveland. Only two communities, but I'd need to see data from the author that demonstrates these two very different communities in markedly different regions of the country are outliers.
There are some other issues the author misses. One, our connections with law enforcement and the general community is quite different than, say, when the ADL or SPLC–and antisemitism were in their hay day. That means different sorts of tactics are required. When incidents have occurred, communal leadership has notified the police and signs have immediately been taken down, graffiti covered over and official investigations have been undertaken.
Second, in our polarized era, (as Weisman mentioned with a New Jersey politician), techniques which worked previously (make a lot of public noise) can backfire while working relationship nets–with civic and interfaith leaders, and police can prove more effective. The first takes an adversarial stance, the second recognizes we are all in this together and that we all are stronger united.
Third, there has been concerted and vocal efforts by Jewish communal leaders across the nation to to draw attention to Charlottesville (anti-semitism on the right) and also to resist and confront BDS (anti-semitism on the left). These efforts have received press coverage. While Weisman may think that BDS represents leadership's focus on Israel, he would be mistaken. BDS to date proves no danger whatsoever to Israel. Our deputy counsel of Israel's NW region who just visited us made this very statement. But it poses a very real concern for American Jews.
So with all this concerted response from Jewish communal leaders, why doesn't Weisman think we are paying sufficient attention to the problem? Several answers can be given but one of the issues at play brings us back to our twelfth graders.
If you are of a certain age, there can be a tendency to give in to our deeply-rooted historical fears that "they are all out to get us." Because you know, a heck of a lot of them were. Were. Seeing the world through this particularistic mindset can be distorting. Yes, we should pay attention to the rise of anti-semitic incidents. After all, as Passover begins, we would be foolish to forget the importance of political freedom and the role that societal acceptance plays in ensuring that freedom.
But we also need to pay attention to how a strong majority of Americans view Jews, which is in a positive light and without malice. The very categories my twelfth graders use to think about the world may distort their understanding of Hollywood and the Jews, but it allows them to see more clearly where Weisman stumbles. They seem free of his historical fear.
That difference in thinking is fascinating. It shows, of course, that we all have blinders on. It also highlights that redemption and freedom have to be internalized, and that political freedom, while essential, is not sufficient to make one feel secure.
It's a long walk to freedom, and in the end, we all simultaneously march together and alone.
Let me wish you a wonderful holiday. May you enjoy the blessings of friends or family at your seders. And I hope you'll be blessed to spend a few enlightening moments discussing the many different facets that make up our freedom today.
Have you been subjected to anti-semitism? What occurred? How did it make you feel? Did you respond in the moment?
Do you believe that the increase in anti-semitism over the last 2 years poses a threat to Jews or to you in particular? Why or why not?
What are some personal experiences when you noticed a big generational gap in outlook? How have you tried to bridge that difference in understanding?
Even the most humble person suffers from some sort of internal chametz. What is yours? How might you counteract it during the week of Pesach?

The question of "Abstinence vs. Moderation" is one that some people contemplate daily, but that many others have never considered. Your family member is addicted to drugs or alcohol. Is abstinence the only answer, or can things improve if they learn to moderate their use? (Moderation is the practice of consciously and reliably limiting the amount of alcohol or drugs that one consumes).
This question brings our attention to the vast gray area in our lives – everything that exists in between black and white. Black and white are the extremes on the spectrum. In this case, abuse of alcohol or drugs is pinned against zero consumption, referred to as abstinence. But what of everything in the middle?
Many families of addicted loved ones find themselves wishing for their loved one to swing from one extreme clear over to the other. They are beyond fed up with the pain and the drama. Their dearest wish becomes that their loved one never touch another drop, take another hit, etc. In fact they may have come to believe that 100% abstinence is the only acceptable solution.
Is moderation an option for your loved one?
Yet the research on alcohol suggests that moderation may work for people with less severe addiction problems. The studies suggest that for some people who may have not gone over the line into a pervasive pattern of use, they can drink a few glasses of alcohol, learn to stop there, and come to enjoy a somewhat normal life of drinking.
If your loved one believes they can moderate, there are two good reasons for you to go along with this. First of all, it may work. Second of all, if it doesn't work, your loved one will learn that they are unable to control their drinking or drug use. They see that this problem is bigger than they initially thought. These are good realizations for your loved one to have on their own!
Attempts at moderation are a useful way for a person abusing drugs or alcohol to get feedback. It creates awareness around their using in general, and may well signal to them that their alcohol or drug use is playing a larger role in their lives than they would care to admit. And this awareness is generated without judgement from their entourage, but rather through self-observation.
While your loved one is trying to moderate their use, you can decide what the bottom line is going to be. However, please know that it is not necessarily advisable to include your loved one in this decision or discussion about the new "bottom line." It can be more of an internal decision that you, the family member(s) make.
Here is an example of how the "bottom line" might be reestablished in your home. If they say they will only have two beers, then as long as they stay within that boundary you will behave as though they're not using at all. So, based on the usual guideline of rewarding non-use and disengaging when there is use, you are going to slide down the scale a bit – from "zero tolerance" to tolerating one or two drinks.
You will reward their moderated use just the same as you would if they weren't using. If they go beyond those two beers, you will calmly disengage and remove rewards.
Below, you can read a case study of how one woman applied the CRAFT method of alcohol intervention with her husband. She did this while he was attempting to moderate his drinking rather than abstain.
If your addicted loved one is talking about moderation, please give some consideration to the question. Sometimes we are surprised to find the solution (or part of it) in a place we hadn't even thought of looking.
We worked with a wife who agreed with her husband that he could drink safely. In exploring his history with us, she told us that the majority of the time her husband could and did stop after two drinks. She liked to have a couple drinks with him on some evenings and felt he could manage it. He thought so too, and wanted to try. The problem, she explained, was that every so often he drank more than two drinks and lost control over his alcohol intake. In those times, he would steal her son's ritalin, a stimulant prescribed for Attention Deficit Disorder and for which her husband acknowledged having trouble.
So, in working together, she and I decided she would set the line between one or two drinks, which she would consider as "non-use" (Module 5 on member site, see an excerpt here on youtube), and more than two drinks, which she would consider as "use" (Module 6 on member site). The strategy was for her to remain engaged and rewarding for as long as he didn't go over the two drinks. She would then remove rewards, disengage and allow natural consequences if she saw or sensed that he had drank more than two drinks or was using stimulants.
There had been a couple episodes of stimulant use, but it did appear her husband could limit his alcohol intake. Yet, when we next saw the wife, she told us her husband had hurt his back and had been prescribed painkillers, which he was now abusing along with the alcohol. His abuse had started with much secrecy. By the time he admitted the problem to her, he was dependent and had started purchasing drugs in the street. The wife moved into her studio as a way to disengage form her husband as needed. She limited her interactions with him. She moved the line from two drinks to the more traditional no drinks, and continued the same approach: reward non-use, remove rewards, disengage, and allow natural consequences when he did use.
Attempting to moderate his alcohol use had been important for her husband to try. It might have succeeded for him if he hadn't introduced the painkillers. A month after we learned of his opiate use, he entered outpatient therapy and began working on abstinence with both drugs and alcohol. His experience with the ritalin and now the painkillers made it clear to him that he was seriously susceptible to any drug and that had to include alcohol.

the book: Sterne's defects of humour.
sentence into a fresh chapter; we turn a page and see a row of asterisks, a diagram, or a black oblong of printer's ink. The consequence is that Sterne is never tedious; his madness is so irrevocably his method that, to a reader with any sense of humour, it is never irritating. Moreover, in this prodigal jumble of frivolity is enshrined a humour which, with all its defects, is as true and delicate as any, blending its grotesqueness with its pathos in that happy conjunction which so few have achieved. Sterne could be a ribald buffoon; and the grave fault of Tristram Shandy—a fault which becomes obvious long before we really appreciate the book's virtues is its simpering indecency. The coarseness of tone which distinguishes Fielding and Smollett is an utterly different thing. The indecency of Tristram Shandy is contained in sly allusions, in inferences read between the lines, in dashes and marks of interrogation, and is nothing less than wanton prurience. Sterne was much indebted to Rabelais, but his vice of writing is an infinitely more objectionable thing than Rabelais' boisterous animalism. The worst point about it is that it is closely allied to a capacity for pathos which, in its excess, becomes mere snivelling. But when his humour got the better of his indecency and sentimentalism he wrote in the spirit of Shakespeare. The whole Shandy household-" my father," with his crotchets and philosophy, Uncle Toby, with his love for military operations, his simplicity, his affectionate nature and his intense compassion for all misfortune, the faithful Corporal Trim, and every individual down to the "foolish fat scullion" -are creatures of the finest comedy. As an inCharacter of stance of real humour, of the union of the ludicrous and pathetic, Uncle Toby is among the first masterpieces of character. For example, when Tristram's father was consoling himself for the death of his elder son, and was quoting, without context, the consolatory letter of Servius Sulpicius to Cicero, Uncle Toby thought him to be relating an experience of his own travels as a Turkey merchant. "And pray, brother,' quoth my uncle Toby,. . . 'what year of our Lord was this? It was no year of our Lord,' replied my father. That's impossible!' cried my uncle Toby. Simpleton!' said my father, 'it was forty years before Christ was born.' My uncle Toby had but two things for it, either to suppose his brother to be the Wandering Jew, or that his misfortunes had disordered his brain. May the Lord God of heaven and earth protect him and restore him!' said my uncle Toby, praying silently for my father, and with tears in his eyes. My father placed the tears to a proper account, and went on with his harangue with great spirit."
Uncle Toby.
This is not an isolated instance of the pure gold which, in Sterne's books, is to be found among much dross. Our pleasant familiarity with Uncle Toby, Widow Wadman, and the rest,
growing by a constant series of allusions rather than by any definite description-for they are introduced hastily and accidentally, and, in every case, are the subjects of apparently casual reference-is all the greater and more Sterne's lasting on account of the digressions and the shape of character. less pattern in which their portraits are framed. So
literature.
far as Sterne himself is concerned, the most interesting digression in Tristram Shandy is the continental journey in the seventh volume, which is, in a measure, a forecast of the Sentimental Journey. Of this later work, famous as it is, there The "Senis not much to say. Sterne was essentially a creature timental of sentiment, and in these notes of travel we are Journey" in the closest relation with his temperament. His (1768).. sensitive spirit vibrated to the slightest incident, and magnified it to heroic proportions of pathos. Like Richardson, Sterne, in his character of a man of feeling, excited more sympathy in France than in England. The English taste, less fine and emotional, put much of his sentiment down to mawkish affectation; and the popularity of the Sentimental Journey is due to its picturesque character rather than to its slightly morbid tone. Nevertheless, the emphasis which Influence of Sterne laid on sentiment, while, in extreme cases, it Sterne's produced tearful books like Henry Mackenzie's Man sentimenof Feeling, brought a certain element of needed tality on humanity into English literature. The hard, brutal quality of Smollett's work, and the fact that Fielding's pathos is the merest minimum, are signs that something more gentle was necessary, and this Sterne supplied. His sentiment is not without religion of a kind; but Mr. Yorick's sermons afford very little pious consolation, and are simply Shandean pleasantries refined for the pulpit. Sterne possessed a great capacity for parading obscure and quaint erudition, and, through the mouths of Mr. Shandy, Tristram, and Mr. plagiarisms. Yorick, there pass a great many allusions to forgotten authors, which, at the time, gave Sterne a great reputation for learning. But later ages, expert in the study of Burton and Rabelais, to say nothing of the old lawyers and canonists, have discovered that the vicar of Coxwold was a sad plagiarist, who drained these fountains of allusion without scruple. Nevertheless, he has not spoiled our appreciation of Rabelais or Burton, but, by his unprincipled borrowing, has given an additional originality of flavour to his own book.

period in eighteenth-century literature than Fielding, Sterne, or Smollett. But the best place to be found for him is among the novelists. By virtue of The Vicar of Wakefield he is worthy to sit beside the greatest masters of English fiction; while, in the admirable delicacy of his prose and his command of narrative style, he is the best follower of Steele and Addison, using their free and graceful English for his charming His life. fiction. He was born at Pallas in County Longford, where his father, a poor curate of English extraction, was struggling, with the aid of a miserable stipend, to bring up a large family. His early years were spent at Lissoy in Westmeath, about eight miles from his birthplace; and, in 1744, an uncle, Mr. Contarine, sent him to Trinity College, Dublin, where he obtained a sizarship. However, his life at college was idle and disreputable; he became notorious for his irregularities, and, although his extravagance was time after time forgiven him, was always out of pocket and in debt. He took his degree in 1749, and, without any fixed intention of embracing a profession, was a tutor for a short time in an Irish family. In 1753 he made up his mind, after long Early hesitation, to read medicine, and went for that travels. purpose to Edinburgh. However, his design did not
hold firm very long, but, migrating to Leyden in 1754, he travelled all over the Continent. He boasted afterwards that he had taken a medical degree at some foreign university— either Louvain or Padua—but his very superficial and inaccurate knowledge of medicine makes the assertion of very little value. It seems that he went through Europe like a beggar, tramping the highroads with a flute, or subsisting on the casual alms of a poor scholar. While wandering in Switzerland he sketched out the plan of The Traveller, the poem which afterwards was the beginning of his fame. In 1756 he found his way to
Period of struggle in London.
London, and, during the next eight years, his life was a continual struggle with famine. His literary apprenticeship was passed in a severe school, and he began by reading proofs for Richardson's printing press. In 1757 the bookseller Griffiths, who owned The Monthly Review, engaged him to write articles for his magazine, and employed him in a number of small commissions -schoolbooks, tales for children, prefaces, indices, reviews of books, and contributions to various periodicals-in which he certainly found plenty of time to form and practise his admirable style. But literary work was only his partial occupation. If he was constant in anything, it was in his hack-work for the booksellers; and this, even with the smallness of the wage, would have probably given him enough to live upon had it not been for his extreme improvidence. He was childishly generous, madly in love with pleasure and fine clothes, and fond of gambling. To make some money he served, now as a chemist's shopman, now as an usher in a boarding-school, the drudge of
his employer and the butt and laughing-stock of his pupils, now as a doctor in the lowest and most squalid parts of Londonamong "the beggars of Axe Lane," as he himself expressed it. More than once, under the pressure of intolerable distress, he exchanged the bondage of the school for the severer drudgery of the corrector's table in the printing office, and more than once he was driven back again to the school. At one time, during this wretched period of his career, he failed to pass an examination for the post of hospital mate, when, in order to appear decently before the board at Surgeons' Hall, and having no money with which to get new clothes, he pawned a suit which Griffiths had lent him.

Traveller" (1764).
But although, to the end of his life, Goldsmith's expenditure was far in advance of his earnings, success came to him before long. His Enquiry into the Present State of Polite Learning in Europe (1759), his first original essay, of original Beginning which was published anonymously, obtained him more work from the booksellers. In May, 1761, he met Dr. Johnson for the first time, and from that day forward was under the wing of this excellent and dictatorial friend. Goldsmith continued to write anonymously for some time after this meeting. The masterly Citizen of the World (1762), in which he assumed the character of a Chinese traveller in England, was a reprint of letters originally published in Newbery's Public Ledger. In 1764, Publication however, The Traveller appeared under his own of The name, and, in 1765, he collected his occasional into a single volume. This was the opening of a period of comparative prosperity; he emerged from the slough of obscure drudgery and became a popular favourite. public were agreed that, since the days of Pope, nothing so harmonious or so original as The Traveller had been seen; and Goldsmith, with a future of uninterrupted success, might, but for his folly and improvidence, from which no amount of fortune could have saved him, have died a rich man. He came from obscure suburban lodgings into the town, and eventually settled down in extravagant chambers in the Period of Middle Temple. In 1766 appeared The Vicar of Wakefield, which Johnson had sold for him two years before; and in January, 1768, Goldsmith came before the public as a comic dramatist with The Good-Natur'd Man. Although the production of the piece at Covent Garden was not altogether a failure, it was rather too robust a comedy for the sentimental taste of the time, and formed too strong a contrast to the admired and tearful False Delicacy of the popular author, Hugh Kelly, which had appeared the week before. Two years later, in 1770, Goldsmith followed up The Traveller with a companion poem, The Deserted Village, written in something of the same manner and with no less touching a perfection; and, in 1773, he provided The Good-Natur'd Man with a worthy
pendant in the shape of She Stoops to Conquer. In these closing years of his life he was one of the most popular writers of the time; his society was courted by the brilliant circle which surrounded Johnson and Reynolds, and he became a member of the famous Club so intimately associated with the literary history of his day. With a far greater genius and gift of writing, he

It was as impossible to travagance. avoid loving him as to avoid despising him. His vanity, his childish though not malignant envy, his Irish aptitude for blunders, his eagerness to shine in conversation, for which he was peculiarly unfitted, his weaknesses and genius combined, made him the pet and laughing-stock of the whole company. Meanwhile, his constant extravagance kept him in continual slavery to the booksellers, and they, presuming on his graceful English and exquisite talent, persuaded him to write a set of books for which he neither had the requisite knowledge nor could make the necessary researches-a History of England (1764), a History of Rome (1769), a History of Greece (1774), and a History of Animated Nature (1774). For the first three he had to depend upon second-hand facts, while the last was an abbreviated translation of Buffon; but in all four his grace of narration and style compensated for his total ignorance of the subject. It was only natural that his debts and continual want of money should have preyed upon his mind and injured his health. In 1774 he fell seriously ill, and, relying on His death. his knowledge of medicine, imprudently persisted in disregarding his physician's advice and in employing a violent remedy which put an end to his life. He died at his lodgings in Brick Court, Middle Temple, and was buried in the Temple churchyard. He left £2000 of debts behind him. Yet, in spite of his criminal carelessness, no man's death was so bemoaned in his age, not merely by Johnson and his faithful friends, but by many poor wretches whom he had relieved with an inexhaustible benevolence and a singular disregard of his own difficulties.
§ 16. In whatever Goldsmith wrote he showed the same wonderful delicacy, which made his style the living image of his thought. The squalid distress of his early career Goldsmith's was merely the purifying influence of his work. The eighteenth century in England was not remarkable for any over-fastidiousness in literature or manners, and Goldsmith's work is the exception to its age. We naturally think of him as a second Addison. The difference between the spirit and style of the two men is the difference between the beginning and the end of the century. Both men used their language with the same consummate ease, and in no other hands, during that long period of glorious work, do correctness and purity of style free themselves so completely from stiffness. But the element of classical gravity which is natural to all Addison's writing is

Place the deck of cards in the middle of the playing area. One of the players turns over a card and the players double the number (value) of the card to arrive at the sum.
Next, the die is rolled. Players must subtract the smaller number (between the card and die) from the larger number. The first player to say aloud the correct answer collects the card.
A player chooses a 4 from the deck of cards. The players double that (4 + 4 = 8) in their heads.
A player rolls a 6 on the die. The players subtract 6 from the 8 for a total of 2.
In the event of a tie (players give the same answer at the same time), the card is left on the table and play resumes until one player says the correct answer before the other. That player will take all of the accumulated cards on the table.
Play continues until the common pile is gone. The player with the most cards is the winner.


This book maybe be classifiable as a "coming of age" story, but it is not about how to leap out of the nest and fly. It's about realizing you have tumbled out and your points of reference are not where they belong.
Once upon a time, there were 4 girl-women that rented a ramshackle apartment in a mid-west college town for the summer. They did lots of silly, crazy, and a few potentially dangerous things as they tried to figure out, like people feeling around a dark room with their hands, how to begin to be adults. They broke a lot of rules because they could. They asked a lot of questions they were supposed to already know the answers to. Nobody got hurt. Nobody got arrested. Only the cat got pregnant. But the only thing to do about the walls was to repaint them, and the friendships that survived grew back slowly. The girl-women were Mennonites, or the daughters of Mennonites, or a new generation of Mennonites sailing toward the edge of that they were told was a flat planet.
These are snapshots from the summer, placed together to tell a story. The story is a memoir and it is fiction. Everything is true, some things are false, nothing is impossible. Except that the house still stands there, and under newer layers of paint, every hieroglyphic the girl-women painted on the walls of the upstairs apartment is still there.
If you ever had to map your own terrain, if you ever were 20 years old or went to college, if you ever realized that the rules you memorized from the rulebook don't apply to the game you're playing, this book is for you.
When the Roll Is Called A Pyonder: Tales From A Mennonite Childhood is a unique memoir of a childhood on a Mennonite family farm in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in the 1970s. The story unfolds through a collection of short vignettes which I tell not as a narrator, but from the viewpoint and in the voice of the child I was. The book does not directly address or evaluate Mennonite life or beliefs; rather, it draws and describes them by being set in them as in the center of the universe. The first chapter, "Hunting Bunnies", begins with my earliest childhood memories and ends just before I am finally old enough for kindergarten. The second chapter, "Chicken Teeth", begins on the much-anticipated first day of kindergarten and ends at age nine when I begin to keep the diary which I have continued to keep throughout my life.
This book is a collection of poems that spans about twenty years. Some of them are in English, some in Spanish, some in both mixed together. Some, but not all, of the poems are in both languages, the translation in italics following the original. This little book is a gift to my friends, family and to anyone who will enjoy it. It is full of laughing, loving, shouting, crying, waiting, wondering and all the other things we do while we live. Que lo disfruten.

Very happy with the product. Another quality Campy component.
What can you say more about Campy... Good quality product, smooth and quality packaging.
Electronic shifting may be the future, but cabled shifting works just fine with these cables! If you have Campy components (and why wouldn't you?) these cables are a must. I stocked up on these when they were on sale figuring that once electronic shifting takes off, these will get more expensive.
The Campagnolo Ultra Cable Set is a great set of cables. I honestly haven't tried many other brands to compare, but the several Campagnolo Cable sets have never given me a reason to try something new. The set is affordable and comes with everything you need except ferrules. They last a long time with low friction and just work. One test of a great product is one that disappears in the background because it just works without any hassle - the Campagnolo Cable set is one of those products.
I have looked into using other brands of cables, but the unique shape of the shift cable head makes some non-Campy brands a poor fit. With the Campagnolo brand you never have to worry about fit or performance. They are a great set of cables.

Workers' compensation brokers frequently overlook a risk-free method to nearly double their commissions while improving their client's overall financial position. The use of a captive insurance company to finance a large deductible program is one of the most underutilized tools in the broker's arsenal, and an understanding of this technique will bring an edge to the market.
Large deductible policies differ from guaranteed cost in that they let employers retain a portion of their risk while lowering their overall cost of risk. Insurance carriers operating above the attachments point frequently offer excess coverage (state laws require variations on this approach, such as in monopolistic states requiring buybacks, but the general strategy is valid in all 50 states).
Large deductibles are deductibles or self-insured retentions of $100,000 or more. For most insureds, 80 percent of the workers' comp losses occur within the deductible layer. Losses are paid as they are incurred. Companies deduct these losses as they flow through the company. Most companies do not reserve anything for these losses, which sometimes creates cash flow crunches.
Using a captive to finance the large deductible allows the carrier to pay monthly premiums into a wholly-owned captive. These premiums are deducted from gross operating income in advance of claims. This creates a tax swing in favor of the insured. Claims within the deductible are paid out of the captive.
Assume a client's standard premium is $800,000. If the client elects to take a $250,000 self-insured retention or large deductible, then the client is likely to experience a 45 percent credit. This reduces the $800,000 premium by 45 percent to $440,000. The client's self-insured retention covers the majority of losses with the $440,000 financing an excess layer with an A-rated workers' comp carrier.
8 percent broker commission, the broker should enjoy an annual fee of about $35,000 for placing this risk with a carrier.
In this situation, the insured established a protected cell company to finance the workers' comp large deductible and pays $360,000 of premium into its own captive insurance company to finance the deductible. The $360,000 is deductible before losses are incurred. This minimizes the potential for cash crunches when large losses occur.
If the insured's actual losses amount to $200,000 over the policy period, then the captive will have an additional $160,000 of potential dividend to distribute to the captive owners. Because the captive writes less than $2.3 million in gross written premium, it qualifies for the 831(b) election, which excludes the $160,000 as taxable underwriting profit to the captive. The captive does not pay any taxes on the dividend. With the use of the captive, the insured created a $360,000 tax deduction with tax-free profits remaining in the captive. The owners can choose to distribute these dividends back to the owners or invest the profits.
The total spent under the captive program is $440,000 for excess coverage plus $360,000 for deductible layer premium minus $160,000 in the return of premium minus gross income taxes avoided. Assuming a 21 percent tax rate, the captive saved $25,200 in income taxes. This results in total costs of $614,800.
Losses in the workers' compensation line are generally paid out over a five-year period. This means that the balance of the $614,800 of assets will be invested in low-risk investments and accumulating interest until the losses are paid in settlements. Over 60 months, the captive removes hundreds of thousands of taxable income from the insured, invests it conservatively and distributes the dividends at a later date. This creates cash flow flexibility.
Meanwhile, the insured wrote an additional $360,000 of premium. Assuming an 8 percent commission fee to the workers' comp broker, this results in a $28,000 commission. This is a net commission increase of approximately 81 percent to the broker.
The captive-financed large deductible program provides a savings of $185,200 from the initial guaranteed cost program, which is about a 23 percent premium reduction to the insured. With the captive insurance company in place, the underwriting profit of $160,000 can be reinvested into the captive to expand reserves, invested into private equity opportunities or distributed to high-performing employees of the insured.

Seems like a straightforward analysis, but don't see where you've accounted for the cost of either owning or renting a captive cell or costs of collateral, did I miss that?

SpaceX crew Dragon Douglas Gerald Hurley | American engineer, former Marine Corps pilot and current NASA astronaut
Hurley is a New York local, born in Endicott on October 21, 1966. After moving on from Owego Free Academy in Owego, New York, in 1984, he went to school at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. Hurley earned his graduation degree in civil engineering and graduated magna cum laude with distinction from the college in 1988. While in school, he was an individual from the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps, where he was charged as a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps.
DOUG HURLEY
After school, Hurley went to The Basic School at the Marine Corps Base in Quantico, Virginia, and afterward flying school at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida. He started flight preparing in 1989 and turned into a maritime pilot in August 1991.
Hurley served in the Navy as a military pilot, and up skilled to fly the F/A-18 Hornet, a supersonic fly. In 1997, he turned into a Navy aircraft tester, flying planes, for example, the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet airplane — further developed variants of the F/A-18 Hornet.
NASA chose Hurley for the Agency's astronaut program in 2000. Following two years of preparing and quite a long while in different reinforce team roles, Hurley made his first spaceflight in July 2009, as the pilot for STS-127, International Space Station Assembly Mission 2J/An on board the space transport Endeavor.
During the STS-127 crucial, conveyed two new segments to the space station alongside new parts, batteries, equipment and water. The crucial crafted by 13 astronauts from each of the five universal accomplices supporting the space station. In 16 days, the crewmembers finished five spacewalks and 248 orbits of Earth.

Hurley's second spaceflight was the STS-135/ULF7 expedition the space transport Atlantis in July 2011. The mission supplies to the space station, tried a mechanical refueling instrument and restored a bombed smelling salts siphon module for NASA to look at. The 13-day crucial NASA's last space transport strategic.
With the space transport program at an end, NASA propelled the Commercial Crew Program to advance the improvement of private spaceflight organizations that the office would commission to send astronauts into space. In 2015, NASA reported that Hurley would join the organization's five star of commercial group astronauts.
Boeing's CST-100 Starliner and SpaceX's Crew Dragon are the principal shuttle appointed by the U.S. government to send NASA space travelers into space.
"It's a huge respect to simply be a part of this program and to dispatch American rockets from Florida once again," Hurley said on May 16, 2020, during a meeting of the National Space Council.

About Alma S. Adams, Ph.D.
Dr. Alma S. Adams was elected to her first term representing the 12th Congressional District of North Carolina on November 12, 2014. After winning a special election, Congresswoman Adams was sworn in immediately as the 100th woman elected to Congress, the most in U.S. history.
Throughout her career, Representative Adams has promoted quality education for all students, spearheading legislation to boost funds for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and provide nutritious breakfasts in schools, while supporting increased pay for teachers. For 40 years, Dr. Adams taught Art History at Bennett College. While at Bennett, she led the effort to increase student civic participation. Dr. Adams coined the phrase "Bennett Belles are Voting Bells" and organized a yearly march to the polls.
Before serving as a member of the North Carolina General Assembly, Congresswoman Adams became the first African American ever elected to the Greensboro County School Board. It was at that time that she made a lifetime commitment to effecting social change in her community and beyond.
What inspired you to want to work in the political arena?
I got involved in politics because I was tired. Racial inequity, lack of opportunity, sexism...these were things that I encountered on a regular basis. Instead of complaining about it, I rolled up my sleeves and got to work. I was determined to put my anger into action. I was so inspired by the Greensboro Four and the sit-ins that they lead, that I applied to North Carolina A&T State University. After graduation I got a Masters in Art History and returned to Greensboro where I eventually launched a political career. I was the first Black woman to serve on the City Council. Each step of my career, folks said I couldn't do something. I couldn't be on the School Board, I couldn't be on the City Council, I couldn't be in the General Assembly and I couldn't run for Congress. At 68, I am proud to say that I've done it all. From local politics, all the way to Congress.
What advice do you have for Black women that want to spark change?
Get involved. Get off the sidelines and get engaged in the issues that matter most to you. That's exactly why I launched a political career nearly 30 years go. We need more women of color seated at the decision-making table. African American woman have historically been leaders in our community-based organizations, churches, and government...it's time we return to being just that. Young women need to take a page from the history books and get involved in the issues that matter most to them. I wish that every young woman would find her passion, and her voice.
What do you feel is the single most pressing issue facing Black women today and why?
Inequality. Black women are paid less, and that's a tough pill to swallow considering that families rely on dual incomes. Not only are black women suffering, but so are our families. Paid sick leave and child care tax credits will go a long way for women of color - it will bring us one step closer to upward mobility. We are facing substantial economic inequalities. I stand with the President, it's time to close the gap and level the playing field.
Tell us about a woman mentor that has helped you on your journey?
Evan Hamlin Miler - Eva was an artist and educator from Greensboro. She inspired me to get active and chase my passions. Beyond legislating, art is my passion. Eva inspired me to open an art gallery in Greensboro. She used art to boldly display our cultural history.

Le prieuré d'Aulnoy est un ancien monastère champenois de l'ordre de Grandmont situé à Courchamp en Seine-et-Marne. Il est aujourd'hui à l'état de vestiges.

Histoire et description
Un prieuré bénédictin, dépendant de l'abbaye Saint-Pierre-le-Vif de Sens, est d'abord construit en 1072, puis les grandmontains les remplacent vers 1152, appelés par le comte Thibault II de Champagne, fondation confirmée par son fils Henri en 1168. Les moines creusent cinq étangs et reçoivent legs et dons au fil du temps. L'église est construite grâce aux dons du chevalier Henri de Noyers et consacrée en 1203 à Notre-Dame et à saint Martin comme patron secondaire. Au XVIIe siècle, les minimes remplacent les grandmontains. Ils font bâtir un grand logis dans l'aile occidentale. Le couvent des minimes est vendu comme bien national à la Révolution. L'aile orientale des bâtiments monastiques été incendiée en 1944 et il n'en reste qu'un pan de mur. En 1959, des piécettes d'or ont été retrouvées à l'emplacement de l'ancien autel. Elles dataient de Charles VI et de Jean Sans Peur.

Il reste du prieuré l'église, qui mesure 24,16 mètres x 5,85 mètres, à nef unique se terminant par un chevet à trois pans voûté d'arêtes de 15 cm plus large que la nef, dont il est séparé par un arc doubleau ; le chevet est éclairé de trois fenêtres ogivales (désormais murées) et s'appuie sur deux contreforts. La voûte de la nef qui était en berceau brisé s'est écroulée au milieu du XIXe siècle. La façade ouest à deux contreforts très simples est percée d'une lancette aujourd'hui murée. C'est ici que se trouvait la porte des fidèles (aujourd'hui bouchée), qui est d'habitude ouverte au nord dans l'architecture grandmontaine. Il reste du bâtiment oriental le pan de mur occidental qui donnait sur le cloître disparu ; on y voit l'entrée de l'ancienne salle capitulaire dont la porte est flanquée de deux baies à colonnettes dont le chapiteau est en corbeille. La salle du chapitre était autrefois voûtée d'ogives retombant sur un pilier central.

En 2007, l'ensemble (qui était auparavant une maison de retraite médicalisée) est vendu aux enchères avec le descriptif suivant :  Le prieuré est une propriété privée qui ne se visite pas.

Q: python Iris in linux I just started using Iris, (and also Mac OS), and installed other modules using
    pip install module_name

over the terminal.
I did the same for Iris, but when I try to use:
    import iris.plot as iplt

an error came up:
    ImportError: No module named plot

Did 'pip install' do an incomplete job? Am I missing something?
I tried installing Iris from source and due to my lack of experience with unix base installation (I mean, using terminal), I failed and confused.  It has been a frustrating day. Any suggestion?

A: There is no iris package in the pypi.  If you have iris correctly installed then it should find the plot module irrespective of whether your dependencies are correctly installed or not.
The following gives guidance on installing iris on the Mac OS:
https://github.com/SciTools/installation-recipes/tree/master/osx10.9

A: If I'm not mistaken, you can't import a function as something else, only modules.
If you want to import just plot, do from iris import plot

A: I'd thoroughly recommend installing Iris through Conda (or Anaconda if you already have it).
Once you have conda installed, it should be as simple as doing a:
conda install -c rsignell iris

We are working on formalising and automating the build process, and once that is complete, it should be a matter of using the "scitools" (maintained by the developers of Iris) channel as such:
conda install -c scitools iris

(The latter may not work just yet though)
This will work for Linux and Mac (and apparently Windows). If this does not work for you, then it is a bug, and is probably best addressed in the Iris google group (a thread already exists).

Q: Given the OSM data for a state, find its area Apologies if this is a silly question, I'm very new to PostgreSQL/PostGIS.
I have downloaded an .osm file for the entire state of Baden-Württemberg from here - https://download.geofabrik.de/europe/germany/baden-wuerttemberg.html
I have to answer the following questions, by writing queries for the same -

*

*What is the area (expressed in m^2) of Baden-Württemberg?

*What is by area the smallest city of Baden-Württemberg?

I have imported the osm file into a PostgreSQL using the osm2pgsql tool.
There seem to be multiple tables that are being created, core and generated by osm2pgsql. In addition to the core tables - planet_osm_nodes, planet_osm_ways and planet_osm_rels there are other tables as well, and I'm not quite sure how to use them to complete my tasks.
It would be really helpful if anybody could provide some insight into how I can go about writing the PostGIS query for the same.

A: I think something like this should give you the cities and their area in square meters in order
SELECT *, ST_Area(way)
FROM planet_osm_polygon
WHERE boundary='administrative'
AND admin_level=7
ORDER BY ST_Area(way)

Same thing should work with the border of Baden-Württemberg only that you would need admin_level=4
