Le Marché, en corse U Mercà, est le nom d'un quartier de la ville de Bastia . Il correspond aux bâtiments qui entourent la Place du Marché, dans le quartier de Terra Vechja.

Situation et accès
Le quartier du Marché est situé à Terra Vechja, entre le Vieux-Port et la  Place Saint-Nicolas.

Origine du nom

U Mercà
Le nom de "Mercà" est une apocope du mot "mercatu", signifiant "marché". C'était jadis un endroit très animé de la ville. Aujourd'hui, le marché est toujours organisé tous les week-ends.

Elle s'appelle désormais Place de l'Hôtel de Ville, en raison du bâtiment qui faisait office d'hôtel de ville, avant le transfert à la nouvelle mairie, en 1982.

La place du marché aux poissons
À côté de la place du marché se trouve la Place du Marché aux poissons, en corse U Mercà di Pè.

Historique

Les anciens marchés
Si la place est toujours animée le samedi et le dimanche matin, le marché de Bastia ne s'est pas toujours trouvé à cet endroit. Du temps de l'administration génoise, au XVIIe siècle, il se trouvait dans la Citadelle, au lieu-dit A Chjappa, aujourd'hui vers le haut de la rue Saint-Michel. Au XVIIIe siècle un marché aux poissons s'ouvre à l'actuelle Place du Marché aux poissons. Enfin au XIXe siècle c'est dans le quartier du Guadellu, rue Vattelapesca que s'installe le nouveau marché. La place portera longtemps le nom de "Place du Nouveau marché".

C'est en 1880 que le marché est implanté à son emplacement actuel, place de l'Hôtel de Ville.

En 1887 le conseil municipal décide d'y planter des platanes. La place était également dotée d'une fontaine en fonte de fer, aujourd'hui disparue.

L'emplacement d'un théâtre disparu
C'est place de l'Hôtel de Ville que se situait le premier théâtre de Bastia. En effet, longtemps la place actuelle n'était qu'un terrain vague et des jardins appartenant à la famille Favalelli, dont l'imposante maison borde la partie sud de l'esplanade.

Après la conquête française, le comte Marbeuf y fait édifier un théâtre en bois en 1774. L'objectif était politique : la population bastiaise était à ce moment-là corsophone et italophile. Seuls quelques lettrés et bourgeois savaient lire et parler français. En proposant des spectacles en langue française, Marbeuf espérait ainsi accélérer "l'assimilation" de la population corse. Mais ce sera un échec, le public boudera la programmation du théâtre pour lui préférer les pièces de théâtre et concerts en langue italienne proposés dans d'autres lieux de la ville, jusqu'au milieu du XXe siècle.

Le théâtre Marbeuf sera détruit en 1881, deux ans après l'inauguration du théâtre actuel.

Bâtiments remarquables et lieux de mémoire
De nombreux bâtiments historiques peuvent être vus dans le quartier Marché :

L'Hôtel de Ville
Appelé à Bastia A Merria Vechja. L'ancien hôtel de ville était autrefois un bâtiment de l'armée. En 1855, la commune de Bastia en fait l'acquisition pour y transférer le conseil municipal et les bureaux de la municipalité. À la fin du , le bâtiment est rénové et la façade décorée : fronton triangulaire, balcon, corniche, relief avec les armoiries de la ville.

Le premier conseil municipal a lieu le 17 mai 1877.

En 1982, le bâtiment est jugé trop petit. La mairie est alors transférée dans l'ancienne préfecture, en bas de la Place Saint-Nicolas.

Ce bâtiment sert aujourd'hui à célébrer les mariages. Il abrite également les services de l'état civil.

Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste
Saint-Jean-Baptiste, appelée à Bastia San Ghjuvà, est l'église principale du quartier de Terra Vechja. Elle a été classée monument historique en 1999. Elle a été édifiée sur le site d'une ancienne église. L'édifice actuel a été construit entre 1636 et 1666.

Les deux clochers sont plus tardifs. Celui de gauche date de 1810. Nous le devons au maître maçon suisse Tomaso Quadri. Celui de droite, conçu par l'architecte Paul-Augustin Viale, de 1864.

La maison Suzzoni
Il est situé entre l'église San Ghjuvà et l'Hôtel de Ville. Elle a été construite entre 1835 et 1839. La belle façade est de style néoclassique. Il y a sept travées de fenêtres, sur quatre niveaux. Elle était appelée à Bastia "a casa francese" .

Le rez-de-chaussée était dédié aux boutiques, et le premier étage se logeaient les commerçants.

La maison Favalelli
C'est l"une des plus anciennes maisons de Terra Vechja. Elle est située au numéro 9 de la rue Saint-Jean. Elle comporte sur sa façade les armoiries du chevalier Simon Giovanni Favalelli (1670-1725). C'est lui qui a donné son aspect actuel en 1693. Par héritage la maison est passée à la famille Viale, qui a connu d'illustres personnages, comme le poète Salvatore Viale (1787-1861), premier auteur à écrire en corse dans une œuvre littéraire, le cardinal Michele Viale-Prelà, archevêque de Bologne, l'architecte Paul-Augustin Viale (1824-1874).

La maison De Battisti
Elle est située au numéro 2 de la rue Commandant Bonelli. Cette maison porte le nom des premiers propriétaires, la famille De Battisti. Elle a été construite dans les années 1700-1710. C'était la résidence du vice-roi de Corse à l'époque du royaume anglo-corse.

Palazzu Galeazzini

Construit au début du  entre la place du Marché aux poissons et le quai des Martyrs, au lieu-dit "A Punta", cette importante bâtisse était la propriété de la famille Galeazzini. Arrivés en Corse au , les Galeazzini étaient une riche famille de commerçants originaires de Sienne, en Toscane. La maison a été construite par Pietro Galeazzini (1668-1726).

La famille Galeazzini donna à Bastia plusieurs hommes politiques, comme Salvatore Galeazzini (1687-1766), qui fut député en 1731, et Ghjuvanbattista Galeazzini (1759-1833), qui fut maire de Bastia en 1794.

La façade côté mer est impressionnante, avec sept travées de fenêtres sur six niveaux.

Deux passages voûtés percent le rez-de-chaussée donnent sur la rue Posta Vechja où se trouve le portail principal du palais.

Le Palazzu Galeazzini était dôté d'un vaste salon avec une scène où l'on pouvait donner des représentations théâtrales et des concerts. Napoléon Bonaparte assista à de nombreuses réceptions.

L'intérieur est richement décoré de stucs, avec des angelots, médaillons en bas-relief et fleurs).

Église Saint-Vincent de Paul
C'était l'église de l'ancien couvent des Missionnaires lazaristes. La façade donne sur la rue Neuve-St-Roch. Elle a été construite au lieu-dit Sant'Eramu. Elle a été construite entre 1716 et 1725. L'église a été malheureusement dépouillée et ruinée par l'armée. Dans les années 1820 elle a servi d'entrepôt. Elle fait aujourd'hui partie du lycée Jean Nicoli .

Palazzu Antonetti

À deux pas du marché, le long du quai des Martyrs de la Libération se trouve le Palazzu Antonetti, construit en 1846 par Vincent Antonetti.

L'architecture est néoclassique. La façade est décorée de frontons triangulaires au-dessus des fenêtres et de colonnes. L'entrée est remarquable : on entre par un vestibule octogonal creusé de niches, peinture en trompe-l'œil.

En 1943 l'immeuble abrita la cour d'appel de Bastia, le palais de justice ayant été endommagé pendant les bombardements.

La maison Mattei

La maison Mattei est située au numéro 13 de la rue Monseigneur Rigo.

Les Mattei sont originaires de San Martinu di Lota. En 1680 Anton Nobile Mattei fait construire une maison sur cinq niveaux dans le quartier du marché.

Les armoiries des Mattei, sculptées dans une plaque de marbre blanc, sont visibles dans la cage d'escaliers au premier étage.

We decided to use popular and mature Lucene library instead of developing our own engine and reach same pit falls as the DNN standard search. Lucene comes with lots of features and advanced syntax capabilities. We only integrated a handful of these which are the most popular and have been requested by our customers. These options are used to tweak the behavior of the search engine to achieve all kinds of setups.
This option allows selecting the number of options the autocomplete feature should display at a maximum. The options are built from the content that is already indexed.
When searches return 0 results Search Boost can be configured to give hints to the users that would actually return results. The number of hints can be configured through this option. Setting it to 0 will disable suggestions.
The way it works, Search Boost builds a second index with all the words and runs a special spell check plugin that returns similar terms. These terms are surely to bring results because they were added there from the main indexed content.
One thing to note is that the lower is the Fuzzy Search similarity, the less likely this option will be visible because searches will automatically match similar terms from the start.
When this option is enabled, each result will have a "More Like This" link that when clicked returns simillar results based on the selected number of repeated terms. If the Contextual Highlight is enabled, you will see which words have been considered. For a words to be considered it must appear N times inside the content of the original result. Common words configured with the Stop Words option described later in this section will be ignored.
This feature refers to the ability to return results even when the words don't match 100%. For example, searching for "test" will also bring results that contain "text" when the similarity index (configured in administration console) is less than 75%.
This option is specified as a similarity percent, where 100% will disable the Fuzzy Search. Internally, this works by calculating the Levenshtein Distance, which is a measure of similarity between two strings. The distance is measured as the number of character deletions, insertions, or substitutions required to transform one string to the other string.
This is very powerful feature but we're also planning additional features around this like language corrections, auto suggestions and stemming.
The smallest part Search Boost normally searches is the word. Enable this option to have Search Boost also match the input that appears as part of words. For example, searching for *st will return results containing words that end in st such as boost.
The wild card character can appear at end or inside of search terms, it can't be the first character. By choosing the implicite option users no longer have to type the asterisx character, it will be appended automatically by Search Boost at the end of search terms.
Note that wildcard search is not compatible with the Highlighter or Stem Filter!
Define standard behavior when the search contains more than one word.
EXACT - It will match results that contain the exact phrase (using the specified Slop index) Note that exact match is still possible in all cases by enclosing the words in double quotes.
Search Boost can highlight the search terms within search results to make content easier to locate. But it's more than this, because first of all the engine tries to build the description so it contains as most of the search terms as possible. This makes it a very useful and friendly feature. When this option is enabled any description you used to build the search items will be ignored.
Note that the highlight style can be changed from the template by modifying class "highlight".
The slop defines how close to each other the words from the exact search phrase need to be in order for it to be considered a match. For example, searching for "quick fox" will match text "the quick brown fox" only when the slop is greater than or equal to 1 because the "brown" word is in between.
Change the value of this option to define the tolerance to noise of the exact phrase search feature. The higher this index is, the more words can exist between the exact phrase search. Note that words configured with the Stop Words feature are not counted.
If this option is disabled, Search Boost no longers matches keywords in the content. Use this to create for example a 'search titles only' function.
Normally, only the content is searchable. For an HTML module this means the text you typed in and for a document it means the text from the document. But it's possible to instruct Search Boost to search additional fields, such as the titles (module titles, document titles, etc), descriptions, folder names and so on.
Not all documents and fields are created equal - or at least you can make sure that's the case by using boosting. Each of the additional fields can be configured with a boost. What this does is define how important is when a search term appears in the field. It's natural for example that if a search term appears in the title of a module, it's considered more important than when same word appears inside the content.
How big the content is - the shorter the content of the field the more important that field is considered to be, so for example if the content is smaller than the title the search engine will consider the content to be more important.
This option determines which title Search Boost should use to display results that come from modules.
Module Title means Search Boost will always use the title of the module regardless of what ISearchable is saying.
Page Title works the same only it uses the page title (or if not specified it uses the page name).
Module Title when title is missing means that whenever you use a module with more items like a blog creating module (e.g. Easy DNN News) and one item (article) does not have a title, then, Search Boost Results will display the title of the module.
Page Title when title is missing means that whenever you use a module with more items like a blog creating module (e.g. Easy DNN News) and one item (article) does not have a title, then, Search Boost Results will display the title of the page.
With this option you to instruct Search Boost to merge content that comes from module son the same page to prevent duplicate results. Note that if this option is enabled it's recommnded that you use the Page Title option for displaying result titles.
This option allows to have Search Boost also return results that contain the keywords in titles.The boost let's you determine how results should be ranked if the search matches this field.
Check this option to have Search Boost also return results that contain the keywords in descriptions.The boost let's you determine how results should be ranked if the search matches this field.
Check this option to have Search Boost also return results that contain the keywords in page titles.The boost let's you determine how results should be ranked if the search matches this field.
Check this option to have Search Boost also return results that contain the keywords in folder names.The boost let's you determine how results should be ranked if the search matches this field.
With this setting you can control if newer documents should be considered more relevant and therefore rank higher within results. In this case Search Boost uses the last modified date of the document.
This setting allows you to control if newer content from modules should be considered more relevant and therefore rank higher within results. Search Boost uses the last modified date reported through the ISearchable interface.
Note that many modules don't return real values for this so this boosting may not be entirely accurately.
If you want to find out more on how boost works, check out this article explaining how scoring is calculated in Lucene: www.lucenetutorial.com/advanced-topics/scoring.html.
Enable this option to have Search Boost ignore accents so all word are searchable using standard Latin characters. This setting is global (for all instances). For example, when this option is enabled, searching for Corazón will return same results as searching for Corazon.
Internally this is achieved by converting the accents to their Latin equivalents both in the search index and in the search terms. This setting is global (for all instances).
This options allows building a list of words that the Search Engine will ignore from all operations. These include searching, calculating phrase slops, suggestions, exact match searches, more like this searches and so on.
In this list put words such as common words ("and", "or", etc), profanity words or anything you consider not to be relevant to a search. You need ot specify one word per line.
Note that the default list is of English words, but you can extend or change that with any list of words you want. In a future release we'll make Search Boost multi-language, then this list will be per locale.
This setting is global (for all instances).
This option determines how the text is split into words.
Stemming is the process of reducing the word to a base form. For example, stemming will make "search", "searches", "seaching", "searched" identical, so a search for any will bring the same results. Stemming only works for English words and requires Search Boost Analyzer in General Settings.


Harley-Davidson started out in a small shed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, back in 1903 and at present, it is one of the most iconic motorcycle manufacturers in the world. Since 2000, Harley-Davidson has worked hard to retain its image as an American icon while at the same time reaching out to a new generation of bikers.

Jordan Montgomery scratched from Scranton start, heading to the Bronx to start tomorrow
By Matt Graziano - August 29, 2017
Per Donnie Collins of The Scranton Times-Tribune, Jordan Montgomery has been scratched from his scheduled start with Triple-A Scranton tonight and is on his way to the Bronx to start for the Yankees tomorrow. We found out a short time ago that tonight's game has been rained out and will be made up as part of a double header tomorrow. Joe Girardi confirmed to the media that Montgomery will be taking game two and tonight's scheduled starter, Jaime Garcia will take the first one. For the 2017 season Montgomery has a 7-6 record with a 4.00 ERA in 126 IP. He has been very solid for the team in his rookie season but was replaced by Garcia after the deadline in an effort to monitor his innings down the stretch. A corresponding roster move has not yet been announced, but it is likely he will be the 26th man added to the team per normal doubleheader rules.
Credit: Paul J. Bereswill
The timing of this spot start for Montgomery tomorrow is important for the Yankees because it will help them set up their rotation heading into a four-game series against the Boston Red Sox. With Montgomery taking one of tomorrow's games, the Yankees will now be able to throw their four best starters at the Red Sox this weekend. With the team just 3.5 games behind the Red Sox for first place in the AL East and this being the final time they play the Red Sox this season, the Yankees will now throw CC Sabathia, Sonny Gray, Masahiro Tanaka and Luis Severino at the Sox this weekend. In what could be the most important game of the season to date, the team will now be able to match up their ace Luis Severino against Red Sox ace Chris Sale, instead of Jaime Garcia who has disappointed thus far.

Kenya – 100-MW Kenyan Wind Farm Will Help Power Africa
As part of President Obama's Power Africa initiative, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), the U.S. Government's development finance institution, announced that it committed $233 million in debt financing to support construction and operation of the Kipeto Wind Power Project in Kajiado, Kenya.
The 100-megawatt, grid-connected wind power facility located south of Nairobi will be, when complete, one of the first utility-scale wind projects to come online in Kenya, where over 75 percent of the population still lack access to reliable electricity. Situated in an area with strong, consistent wind currents, the Kipeto project will provide cleaner and more reliable energy to Kenya's national grid, helping to further bolster the country's growing economy.
Elizabeth Littlefield, President and CEO of OPIC, signed a commitment letter of OPIC's debt finance support alongside Jurie Swart, CEO of African Infrastructure Investment Managers.
OPIC's financing to the Kipeto Wind Power Project also demonstrates the institution's continuing role in fulfilling President Obama's Power Africa initiative, which seeks to add more than 30,000 megawatts of cleaner, more efficient electricity generation capacity as well as increased power access with 60 million new connections throughout sub-Saharan Africa.
The Kipeto project is being developed in partnership with African Infrastructure Investment Managers (AIIM), one of Power Africa's 100 private sector partners and fund advisor to African Infrastructure Investment Fund 2, Kenyan independent power producer Craftskills Wind Energy International, Ltd, and the International Finance Corporation. Craftskills initially began development of this project in collaboration with General Electric in 2010.
"Kipeto is a transformative project for many reasons, principally for the clean and reliable energy it will supply to Kenyan citizens," said Elizabeth Littlefield. "It will be one of Kenya's first utility-scale wind projects and can contribute more than 20 percent of residential power consumption at current usage rates. Our commitment to Kipeto is also a significant step in OPIC's pledge to President Obama's Power Africa Initiative. OPIC is proud to support the Kipeto project and its role in advancing Kenya's economic prosperity."
"Power Africa's support of this important energy project reflects the United States' ongoing commitment to scale up access to electricity and mobilize investment in Kenya," said U.S. Ambassador to Kenya Robert Godec.

International Women's Day and Sky introduce a 'token' women as part of the preview of the Wigan v Huddersfield game.
The game starts and it is the usual coverage of 'boys round a pint' banter, no female voice at all. On the pitch, no female officials. The NRL are light years in front.
For a 'brand' that spouts off about its inclusivity at any photo-opportunity, welcome to the 21st Century, GENTLEMEN.
Editor's comment: Sky Sports have employed Angela Powers as presenter and touchline reporter for many years, though sadly her air time has been marginalised in recent years due to them scrapping their magazine shows, such as Boots n All. Those who enjoyed the Challenge Cup game between Thatto Heath and Rochdale Mayfield on BBC Sport recently will have noted England international Jodie Cunningham providing valuable insight and contributions on the commentary alongside the excellent Dave Woods.

A Tribute To "Sailor Moon"
How much do you remember about this anime series that made everyone want to dress like a magic nautical schoolgirl? (Much to your parents' chagrin.)
by Leonora Epstein
kaorilikesthings.blogspot.com
If you were around in the early- to mid-'90s, you know that the Japanese anime cartoon, Sailor Moon, had a lot going for it — girls with magic powers; really cute outfits; and all the best words like "princess," "moon," "crystal," "heart," and "tuxedo." So, who was Sailor Moon? She said it herself most episodes: "I am Sailor Moon. The champion of justice. And I say on behalf of the moon, I shall right wrongs and triumph over evil and that means you!"
Of course, we know it's a bit more complicated than that...
Meet Serena Tsukino, a young teen who is really bad at math and kind of an airhead. Like most works of cinematic genius, this is the person who must save the world. Next to Serena is her friend Molly who has a very heavy Brooklyn accent for a Japanese schoolgirl.
This is Luna, a talking cat who reveals to Serena her hidden identity and acts as a spirit guide. She is wise and knows all the things.
So, basically, the world is going to end pretty much every day thanks to this bitch (and a bunch of other villains down the line). Sailor Moon's mission is to destroy this space skank and find the Moon Princess.
"Moon Prism Power!" So Serena can turn into Sailor Moon Frye in what is the prettiest, most awesome cartoon transformation sequence that has ever been.
In the first Sailor Moon series, she has four Moon Scout friends (also normal girls who transform) who help out on missions. They are...
Sailor Mars: Red uniform, Soldier of Fire and Passion, has a cool magic fireball thing going on.
Sailor Mercury: Blue uniform, Soldier of Justice and Wisdom, can do cool stuff with water like create waves to wipe out enemies or send freezing bubbles at attackers.
Sailor Venus: Orange uniform, Soldier of Love and Beauty, uses these mysterious balls of light to defeat villains.
Sailor Jupiter: Green uniform, Soldier of Thunder and Courage, tends to call upon the forces of lighting and thunder to vanquish evil. NBD.
Then there's this guy: Japanese Abraham Lincoln. Actually, his name is Tuxedo Mask, which wouldn't sound so weird if it were Mr. Tuxedo Mask or Tuxedo Mask Man, but just kind of sounds like two rando nouns put together. Like Pencil Cup. Or Shoe Ball. Or Window Butt. Anyhow, as we can all see, he's mad hot, so Sailor Moon's got a huge crush on him. He watches out for her and lends a hand in fighting evil space See You Next Tuesdays.
But back to Sailor Moon, because she's the coolest. She has a magic tiara that turns into a glowing frisbee of destruction.
But what really made her awesome: the neat space ballet she did in the credits and her hair, which was like a beautiful dancing ribbon.
She looks the most badass when she draws this perfect circle of light. She'd win any circle drawing competition.
Sometimes, she used magic tools — like a pen that can transform you into a beautiful talent agent! — in her crusade against the crazies.
One of her signature things was to do this series of tai chi/sign language/air traffic control hand motions. What did it mean? Or was she just stretching? The person who knows the answer will get a special Cosmic Crystal Moon Power prize. (You can claim it here.)
And finally, Sailor Moon wisdom to live by:
Fighting evil by moonlight,
Winning love by daylight,
Never running from a real fight,
She is the one named Sailor Moon

The outdoorsman comes across various situations in which cotton rope is useful and even vital.

It's the best choice in situations involving exposure to direct sunlight for an extended period of time, as it is not susceptible to UV damage like synthetic ropes are.

Rope has many uses on a boat, but cotton rope is the best choice in the places where abrasion is a factor.

Getting on and off the boat can also be tough on the hands when using rope made of material like nylon. Our rope is super soft and will protect your hands from rope burn. Twisted cotton rope is also a popular choice to use for a halyard due to its dual softness and sturdiness.
Make your dog a quality toy that's easy on his teeth and your wallet. A teething puppy can tear through a store-bought rope toy in a day. Why not save money by buying cotton rope and making your own? Your homemade rope toy could outlast the destructive puppy days, and the natural cotton won't harm your pet if swallowed.
Twisted cotton rope halters and leads are a classic choice among horse owners for many reasons. Twisted cotton rope can be easily tied and holds knots that don't slip.

Fury After Pervert's Sentence Cut
A pervert jailed for sex attacks on teenagers has had his sentence slashed by Appeal Court judges.
Colin Wappat, 65, a former Newcastle city councillor for Heaton, has had his sentence cut from eight years to six and a half at London's Appeal Court.
Wappat was jailed on November 16 last year following his conviction on four counts of indecent assault and one of a serious sexual offence on two teenagers more than 20 years earlier.
But appeal judge Jeffrey Rivlin, sitting with Lord Justice Henry and Mr Justice Butterfield described the original sentence as "manifestly excessive."
The attacks on the boys began when Wappat met one of them at Blackburn House in South Tyneside, a home for youngsters in care.
Children's groups today slammed the Appeal Court judges.
A spokesman for Parents Together, Working Together, a support group set up after children were abused in a Newcastle nursery, said: "For a judge to say the eight-year sentence was manifestly excessive just shows how they think.
"I don't think they'd have felt like that if it had been their child. He has been locked up because he is a danger to young boys and should be kept inside.
"He could be out in three years - a shoplifter gets that sort of sentence sometimes. You can't repair the damage this man has done to those young people. They will carry it for the rest of their lives." A spokeswoman for the NSPCC said: "We can't normally comment on individual convictions, but if you look at it from the point of view of the victim we know that two-thirds of children never report this at the time it happens.
"In this case the victims have had to live with what happened for 20 years, and will have to for the rest of their lives - and that is in effect a life sentence."
Judge Rivlin told the Appeal Court: "We have come to the conclusion that no criticism can be levelled against the sentences for indecent assault, which represent a sustained course of despicable conduct toward a young and vulnerable person."
Yet the eight years for the serious sexual offence, did not accord with guideline cases and was excessive, particularly in light of Wappat's age and the antiquity of the crimes, he ruled.
Wappat began subjecting one of the boys to sexual advances after becoming his social worker in the mid 1970s.

Nilave Mugam Kaattu () is a 1999 Indian Tamil-language film directed by Kalanjiyam and starring Karthik, Ramki and Devayani. It was released on 30 April 1999.

The film is a remake of the Kannada film Anuraga Sangama (1995) which itself was inspired by Charlie Chaplin's City Lights.

Plot

Murthy (Karthik) and Prakash (Ramki) become best friends since Prakash's father (Nizhalgal Ravi) killed Murthy's mother in a car accident. Despite his father's refusal, Prakash takes Murthy into his house. But Prakash's parents do not like their son making friendship with Murthy who is poor and they consider it to be a status issue.

A few years later, when Prakash goes to the US to study. Meanwhile, Prakash's parents scold Murthy with a plan to make him leave their house. Murthy feels bad and decides to leave Prakash's house without informing anyone. An old police constable accommodates Murthy who treats him like his late son Govind and the man begins to call him by that name. Murthy also comes under the identity of Govind now and starts working in an apartment by helping the residents of that apartment. Murthy has a percussion instrument and plays his favourite tune always. Murthy meets Kasturi (Devayani) a blind flower seller and falls in love with her. Kasturi also likes Murthy's character after he saved her from a few thugs who tried to molest her. Kasturi's father (Delhi Ganesh) is a drunkard and dies in an accident which leaves Kasturi alone with an eye injury which made her blind. Murthy takes care of Kasturi now and takes her to a doctor (Srividya) with an aim of getting her vision. The doctor advises Kasturi to undergo a surgery following which there are chances for getting her vision. In order to pay for the operation, Murthy takes some money from a drunk man's house. In a misunderstanding, he gets arrested by the police and is sent to jail.

Kasturi gets her vision after surgery but she is worried as Murthy has never returned. The doctor takes Kasturi to her home and asks her to stay until Murthy comes back. In the meantime, Prakash returns to India after completing his studies and he falls in love with Kasturi at first sight. Prakash convinces his parents to arrange his wedding with Kasturi. Although Kasturi is not interested in this proposal, she is convinced by the doctor as there is no point in worrying about Murthy who has disappeared for a while.

Kasturi, who cannot find Murthy, agrees to wed Prakash although she is not interested. Murthy is released by the police as he is proved innocent. One day, Prakash finds Murthy and is shocked to see his condition. Prakash takes Murthy along with him to his home. At Prakash's home, Murthy is shocked knowing that he is in love with Kasturi who has got her eyesight now. Murthy decides to hide his identity to Kasturi (as she knows him only by the name Govind and she has not seen him before). Murthy does not even speak in front of Kasturi as she will be able to identify his voice. Murthy also convinces the doctor to not reveal about him to Kasturi as he wanted his close friend Prakash to lead a happy life marrying Kasturi.

On the day of the wedding, a poor boy comes to the marriage hall looking for food. He plays Murthy's tune with the percussion instrument which shocks Kasturi. She rushes to the boy and enquires about Govind. The boy points out Murthy as the one who taught him to play this tune while he was begging before. Now Kasturi understands that Prakash's friend Murthy is none other than Govind whom she was searching.

Kasturi runs towards Murthy and requests him to marry her. Murthy is shocked and speechless. Prakash's parents speak ill about Murthy and Kasturi. Prakash comes to the spot and asks the truth to Murthy. Murthy tries to manage the situation and finally, when Prakash asks him to make a promise on him, Murthy does not do fearing any harm to Prakash. Murthy reveals the truth and wants Prakash to lead a joyful life which made him sacrifice his love.

Prakash on hearing this is overwhelmed by the love of his friend and immediately asks him to marry Kasturi. Prakash promises to marry another girl for sure and requests Murthy not to hurt Kasturi. Murthy agrees and gets united with Kasturi.

Filmed in Dominique Abel and Fiona Gordon's signature whimsical style, Lost In Paris stars the filmmakers as a small-town Canadian librarian and a strangely seductive, oddly egotistical vagabond. When Fiona's (Gordon) orderly life is disrupted by a letter of distress from her 88-year-old Aunt Martha (delightfully portrayed by Academy Award®-nominee Emmanuelle Riva) who is living in Paris, Fiona hops on the first plane she can and arrives only to discover that Martha has disappeared. In an avalanche of spectacular disasters, she encounters Dom (Abel), the affable, but annoying tramp who just won't leave her alone.
Replete with the amazing antics and intricately choreographed slapstick that has come to define Abel and Gordon's work, LOST IN PARIS is a wondrously fun and hectic tale of peculiar people finding love while lost in the City of Lights.
Little Member Cheryl T. calls Lost in Paris "a tour de force of wit, imagination, and fun" ... fellow member Bob B. calls the film "a world class adventure."


Having scientific meetings with brilliant people… in your kitchen?
I had two important meetings today. One of them was with my good friend Harold Boley (of RuleML fame) and another well know professor. The other meeting was with an infamous professor who shall remain nameless.
What is most amazing about these meetings is that they happened in my kitchen, using Skype and the builtin webcam of my MacBook. And these meetings were efficient, to the point, content-rich, and pleasant. Moreover they were inexpensive. And I don't mean financially. They required almost no time to prepare. They required no room, no building. They did not require any staff.
Of course, the bandwidth is not quite the same as a live meeting, but this can be a good thing: I do not care to smell your pheromones nor do I insist on seeing the details of your body posture. Moreover, the bandwidth is increasing at a crazy rate.
What does this mean for our future? It means that institutions are no longer required to get the system running. No vice-president, no staff. It means you can run the world from your kitchen. Or at least, get some research done.

Kaika was very proud to hear these words. With a smile, he replied, "Thank you Patrick!" Then Patrick asked, "What are your dreams and goals? What do you want to do when you grow up? Have you ever written out your goals?" Kaika said, "When I grow up, I want to play professional football, then own a pro sports team and a cruise line so I can travel all over the world and see the places where all my clients I have met during the summer come from. The only problem is I have no idea how to achieve such a goal and what actions I should take between now and then.
DREAM the impossible. PLAN for success. EXECUTE your visions. SOAR in life.
Patrick continued, "Kaika, the important thing to remember is that first you need to dream. Next, you need to come up with a game plan for how you will achieve your dreams. Then, you will need to take action and execute your goals. Action equals results! Massive action equals massive results!
"One last thing," Patrick said. "My father had me fill out my first goal sheets when I was in the eighth grade. As a result, I earned my college degree and became an author, speaker, publishing coach, and an entrepreneur.
I successfully raised two amazing boys I am so proud of, and I even was able to move to Maui, all as a result of my father having me fill out the goal sheets. If you, too, want to take charge of your life, become the captain of your ship, and the creator of your destiny, I encourage you to do the same.
Click on 'Free Stuff' on the Navigation Bar to print out your free goal sheets.
Patrick proceeded to buy a makau fishhook for himself and a bracelet for his beautiful wife, Nicole. Kaika thanked them and proceeded to sell another set to the next couple waiting in line behind them.
Later that evening, Kaika wrote out the the following ten "TO DO" goals on his goal sheet and looked at it regularly for many years to come.

As government is a heavy, albeit necessary, burden on civilization, it is most efficient to have the smallest government possible while still allowing it to perform its required function.
The required function of government being the optimization of cooperative behavior among individuals. This is something that does not happen voluntarily, falling farther from optimal the larger the number of individuals involved (see Chapter 2 of Mueller 2003 Public Choice III).
The optimum size of government is well researched, yet few people have any awareness of what the numbers actually are. So instead of using this optimum size as an input to the process of engineering the best government, they go by their gut feelings as to whether the size of government should be increased or decreased based on how it performs at its current size. Imagine replacing a bridge by this process: "We need to save money by cutting the size of the girders" or "I think the new bridge should use 10% larger girders than the existing bridge because then it will be safer". An engineer would find out what the load on the bridge will be, then design it to match that load. The research shows that government consumption plus investment should optimally be around 30% of GDP, according to Davies 2009 and others. Unfortunately the US is currently at about 40% and many European countries are over 50%.
SDAP leadership is not only a poor match for The People within a jurisdiction, it is a serious potential threat to anyone outside that jurisdiction due to the SDAP penchant for aggression toward outsiders. It is therefore necessary that all SDAP-led governments eventually be replaced by Matchist government.
The only way any of us will be safe is to ensure that not only that we prevent SDAPs from wielding inordinate power in our own governments, but in any other government as well. In addition to the direct threat of aggression from any other SDAP-led government, any "saber rattling" behavior they exhibit will have the effect of raising the activation level of any Authoritarians living under Matchism, which will in turn cause them to act aggressively and irrationally. The only way to avoid that outcome is to eliminate SDAP leadership, conversion to Matchism being the most effective alternative. This means that Matchism is inherently a one-world-government design, although it differs from all existing world-wide organizations and most other proposals in that it is "bottom-up" instead of "top-down".
Since there will always be differences in the needs and priorities of individuals based on their local environment, there must be at least two levels of government, local and global.
The head of government operations at each level will be a Manager selected by The People.
The Managers are the executives who direct and supervise government operations. Like mayors/governors/presidents they have complete authority over the execution of laws but do not make the laws themselves. Unlike most current political systems, however, Matchish Managers are not politicians but instead are specifically trained and talented in the areas of government operations. They are not elected, but rather selected, by The People. More on this process below.
The global government, or Globality, will be responsible for the national defense, implementing laws that must apply to all The People, building and maintaining infrastructure that benefits multiple Localities, and facilitating the interactions between them.
Note that the Globality is the replacement for all federal/national and state/province/canton governments. Localities (next section) will be a combination of local and county governments. Note too the limited functions of the Globality, at least as compared with top-level governments as they mostly exist today: For example in the US half the state budget of many states actually comes from taxes collected by the federal government and here is a huge discrepancy in these payments (South Carolina receives almost $8 back for every dollar paid in income taxes whereas Delaware only gets 50 cents back for each dollar paid). Not only is this obviously unfair, but this leads to widespread investment in unproductive work aimed at gaming the system leading to massive waste and inefficiency.
The revenue to support the government will come from geoism, consumption taxes, and fees collected from users of government services and infrastructure.
There are three essential requirements of a tax system. The first of course is that it must generate the revenue necessary to run the government. The second is that it be efficient, with as little burden on the entities using it and as little enforcement infrastructure and other overhead as possible and as little distorting influence on the behavior of The People. The third is that it be fair, with all entities paying into the system in proportion to their benefit from it. As current income-tax systems fail to deliver on all of these requirements, they must be replaced with something that will. Anyone who's read a newspaper about budget deficits and national debt is well aware of the failure of the first requirement, anyone who's filed a tax return knows how the second isn't working, but everyone knows that there are large numbers of individuals and corporations that are not paying their fair share of taxes via their ability to exploit loopholes in the tax code or cheat by not reporting all of their income. These evasions of taxes not only deny the government the revenue it requires to operate, it also shifts the tax burden onto honest citizens from the dishonest ones. This inequity is highly corrosive to the public's opinion of the state, and creates a vicious cycle that makes it harder to collect taxes from anyone (see Hammar, Jagers, & Nordblom 2009).
By far the most efficient, least economically distorting taxes, and perceptually "fair" taxation systems are based on consumption, including the use of land and natural resources (geoism). VAT and sales taxes are examples of the former, property taxes on real estate of the latter. These two type of taxes best meet all three of the requirements stated above. These proposals would need to be customized to account for other features of Matchism, however. They also can be customized because as a direct democracy a Matchist government avoids by design all the corruption and gaming the system to which representative-based government is prone (awareness of which is why those other sales or consumption-based tax proposals have been limited to fixed rates, or rejected outright as merely methods of expanding government).
Geoism would apply at the Global level to assets that are globally active, including trademarks and web site domains. For example the renewal cost of a domain name would be proportional to the appraised value of that domain, just as is for done with property taxes at the county level in the US.
The bulk of Globality income would come from consumption taxes, a combination of a VAT for intermediate transactions with a variable final sales tax rate. By combining the two we can preserve social engineering flexibility while minimizing attempts to game the system (e.g. the 23% rate proposed for the FairTax, a national sales tax system, would trigger massive exploitation of economic workarounds (barter, grey market, under-the-table payments, etc.)).
An example, from the domain of auto sales: What should the sales tax rates be on supercars (e.g., Ferrari), luxury cars, and entry level models? All the same? This seems poor social and financial engineering: The Owners of the first two categories are relatively price insensitive (indeed, exploiting this feature is even a primary marketing tool used by Ferrari: By intentionally designing their vehicles to be very expensive they reduce the number of people who can afford them, this exclusivity being one of the main appeals of owning a Ferrari in the first place). So the sales tax rate on them can easily be made higher than for other products without substantially affecting the sales of those types of vehicles or the individuals who purchase them. So why not tax supercars at 30% and luxury cars at 20%, which would not only significantly increase revenue but also amplify one of the key features of these vehicles, their exclusivity? As for economy cars, they are generally not purchased out of any desire for status, but out of basic need. They could be taxed at a lower rate which would make them more affordable which in turn would raise the standard of living. This in turn would ultimately have the effect of decreasing taxes all around by reducing the percentage of taxes paid back out in social-support programs (welfare, pensions, etc.). So, for this example, the tax rate at the retail stage could be calculated as vehicle-cost^0.28, which would produce a 15% rate for a $15K USD economy car, a 22% rate for a $60K luxury car, and a 30% rate for a $200K supercar. This would be an example of social engineering using class 2 behavioral engineering: The idea is not to coerce individuals into particular types of behavior, but to provide a benefit to The People in general (a functional government) while having as minimal an impact on individuals as possible.
Now for a social engineering view of the issue that also makes use of more invasive class 3 behavioral engineering: There are several reasons why The People would want to influence the type of car an individual would purchase, or indeed the decision whether or not to purchase a car at all. The most important of these is the fact that the full cost of vehicle ownership is not borne by the individual purchasing it (i.e., a "tragedy of the commons"). Environmental impact including embodied energy from the production of the vehicle, its fuel economy, its projected lifespan, the amount of land required to drive and park it, and the cost of disposing of it all factor into the full cost to The People associated with a vehicle purchase. Note the difference in purpose here, which distinguishes class 2 from class 3 behavioral engineering: In the previous example the idea is simply to collect enough taxes to fund the government while having minimal impact on purchasing habits (i.e., individual behavior). If the goal was to behaviorally engineer purchasing habits, a even higher tax rate could be used. For example a power of 0.38 would result in a 100% tax rate on a $200K supercar, doubling the cost of that car. This would no doubt have a significant effect on the number sold. The downside, which would have to be taken into account in any social engineering analysis, is that it would put the makers of those car at risk, and the loss of these companies might have a negative impact on society in general (such as loss of jobs, and the intangible issue of whether the world a better place because Ferraris exist).
Anther factor that might come into play when making a social engineering design for vehicle sales taxes is the safety of the vehicle and its occupants: Some cars are more likely to be involved in accidents than others, and/or cause more more expensive damage in these accidents. These vehicles should be taxed more because the costs borne by The People are higher. We also design parking lots to accommodate the largest vehicles, wasting vast amounts of space and yet with no additional cost paid by those people driving those large vehicles. Although some of these may be accounted for in other costs the vehicle owner might be responsible for (insurance, fuel or carbon taxes, land lease rates, etc.), when you're doing engineering the entire system must be considered to make sure there are no variables that are unaccounted for. This will ensure fair rates for all.
Finally, a behavioral engineering example that is actually not social engineering at all: For this we'd need a reason to try to influence an individual's car buying behavior independent of any actual proven benefit to the individual or The People in doing so. Which is why, when you look at it that way, purely behavioral engineering is something that should generally be avoided if at all possible, and potentially even prohibited. The most common example of behavioral engineering is advertising, which is designed to manipulate customers into purchasing products that they usually don't even need. Not only is this practice harmful to the customer, but is an inefficient use of resources (i.e. advertising that is not purely for informational purposes is a parasitic burden on the capitalist system because money spent on advertising could have been spent producing a better (or lower cost) product, and time and energy wasted by the consumer in viewing (or filtering out) this advertising could surely have been invested more effectively).
One especially egregious example of this type of behavioral engineering related to car buying is government funding of "Buy American" campaigns (directly via purchasing policies or indirectly via tax subsidies), and imposing protective tariffs imposed on foreign-produced products. Although these things are supposedly done to enrich "The People" by protecting corporations and employees in certain specified industries, the science shows that it seldom if ever actually works out to "The People's" benefit even in any particular country, and always has a negative impact on The People as a whole. The "Buy American" example demonstrates another key difference between social engineering and most behavioral engineering, which often takes the form of conditioning (class 4 behavioral engineering). That sort of propaganda-based engineering not only lacks the scientifically valid principles and goal of social engineering, it also works by changing the individual rather than environment the individual is operating in. The problem with that being the unintended side effects, in this case a heightened sense of nationalism which leads to authoritarian activation which can lead to acts of prejudice and aggression against any outgroup (even if is just a neighbor who immigrated from another country).
To facilitate the collection of taxes and fees, there shall be a single Global Electronic Money (GEM) system, to be administered by the Globality.
The Globality will contract out development and maintenance of a single global electronic payment system that will replace checks, credit and debit cards, stored-value cards, and electronics-based payment systems. To provide competition on services, however, individuals will still be able to choose the bank(s) they use as the back-end for these transactions.
Because individual freedom and privacy requires the ability to engage in untraceable transactions, a cash system will also be maintained. To account for the true costs of this system (sales tax revenue loss, production and handling costs, corruption of The People from illegal activities, etc.) a sales tax shall be applied to all cash withdrawals.
There will probably be a run on the banks in the days leading up to this change as people will hoard cash in fear of having to pay a tax on it in the future, so it may be necessary to impose a cap on withdrawals (just as there is now for ATM withdrawals). This behavior will subside in the months afterward and most of this cash will return to the banks, never to be withdrawn again. Note that the GEM system must also enable private-party transactions (e.g., via Craigslist), most likely by running on smart phones or other portable devices. This will not only drastically reduce the need for cash, but also raises the possibility of collecting sales taxes on these transactions, at least at some point in the future.

A Plan for the Conduct of Female Education in Boarding Schools
A comprehensive and rigorous review of women's education
Darwin, Erasmus.
Derby: J. Drewry, 1797. First edition. Contemporary quarter calf over marbled boards; spine ruled in gilt with red morocco label; all edges dyed yellow. Boards and spine rubbed; some chipping along edges. Original stab holes visible in gutter margins. Previous owner's bookplate on front pastedown; ink signature of Mary Wolley to front free endpaper; light foxing. Quarto collates complete, with half title and engraved frontispiece: viii, [9]-128. Bound after Fosbrooke, T.D. The Economy of Monastic Life. Glocester: Printed by R. Raikes, [1792]. First edition, dedicated to Edward Jenner who is also listed as a subscriber. Internally a copy in excellent condition.
The grandfather of the illustrious Charles Darwin, Erasmus Darwin wrote this treatise on the education of young women to support his own daughters' school at Ashbourne. Darwin's treatise takes a comprehensive view of women's education, suggesting that it should reach beyond social skills such as the "perpetual appearance of attention," polite dancing, and flattering dress and into formal intellectual pursuits including literature, history, mathematics, and the natural sciences. While he promoted women's education in part to improve the likelihood of companionate marriages, Darwin's text tentatively acknowledges that a marital partnership can only function happily when both parties have an intelligent understanding of the world and the ability to participate in it. "A radical campaigner for equality, he condemned slavery, supported female education and opposed conventional Christian ideas on creation" (Farra). With a bookplate from the library of the Wolley family, this particular copy has the ownership signature of female reader Mary Wolley. (Item #1978)

Wouldn't there be a great performance improvement if the content of _tmp was put into RAM cache disk rather than on the disk itself?
And if so, what are the downsides and restrictions of such approach?
