CHAP. II.
AT no period of time was the attachment of the colonists " to the mother country more strong or more general than at present *. The war just concluded had very deeply interested every part of the continent; every colony had been engaged in it, and every colony had felt its ravages. The part taken in it by Indian auxiliaries had greatly increased its horrors, and had added to the joy produced in every bosom by its successful termination. The union of that vast tract of country, which extends from the Atlantic to the Mississipi, and from the Gulph of Mexico to the north pole, under one common sovereign, was deemed a certain guarantee of future peace, and an effectual security against the return of those bloody scenes, from the sufferings of which no condition in life could afford an exemption.
* After the expulsion of the French from Canada, a considerable degree of ill-humour was manifested in Massachussetts, with respect to the manner in which the laws of trade were executed. A question was agitated in the court, in which the colony took a very deep interest. A custom-house officer applied for what was termed " a writ of assistance," which was an authority to search any house whatever for articles chargeable with duty suspected to be concealed in it. The right to grant special warrants was never contested; but this grant of a general warrant was deemed contrary to the principles of liberty, and was thought an engine of oppression equally useless and vexatious, which would enable every petty officer of the customs to gratify his resentments by harassing the most respectable men in the province. The ill-temper excited on this occasion was shown by a reduction of the salaries of the judges, but no diminution of attachment to the mother country appears to have been produced by it. VOL. II.
This state of things, so long and so anxiously wished for by British America, had at length been effected by the union of British and American valour. They had co-operated in the same service; their blood had mingled in the same plains ; and the object pursued was common to both people.
While the British nation was endeared to the American heart by this community of danger and identity of interest, the brilliant achievements of the war had exalted to enthusiasm their admiration of British valour. They were proud of the land of their ancestors, and gloried in their descent from Englishmen. But this sentiment of admiration was not confined to the military character of the nation. A full portion of it was bestowed on their political institutions; and while the excellence of the English constitution was a rich theme of declamation in America, every man believed himself entitled to a large share of its advantages; nor could he admit that, by crossing the Atlantic, his ancestors had relinquished the essential rights of British subjects...
Opinions on
and its right to tax the colonies.
The degree of authority which might rightfully be exercised of Parliament, by the mother country over her colonies had never been ac
curately defined. In Britain it had always been asserted, that Parliament possessed the power of binding them in all cases whatsoever. In America, at different times, and in different colonies, different opinions had been entertained on this subject.
In New England, originally settled by republicans, and, during the depression of the regal government, the favourite of the English nation, habits of independence had nourished the 4
theory, that the colonial assemblies possessed all the powers of CHAP. I. legislation not surrendered by compact : that the Americans were subjects of the British crown, but not of the nation; and were bound by no laws to which their representatives had not assented. From this high ground they had been compelled reluctantly to recede. The judges, being generally appointed by the governors, with the advice of council, had determined that the colonies were bound by acts of parliament which concerned them, and which were expressly extended to them ; and we have seen the general court of Massachussetts, on a late occasion, explicitly recognising the same principle. This had perhaps become the opinion of many of the best informed men in the province; but the doctrine seems still to have been extensively maintained, that acts of parliament possessed only an external obligation ; that they could regulate commerce, but not the interior affairs of the colonies.
In the year 1692, immediately after the receipt of their new charter granted by William and Mary, the legislature of Massachussetts had passed an act denying most explicitly the right of any authority, other than that of the General Court, to impose on the colony any tax whatever ; and also asserting those principles of national liberty which are found in Magna Charta. Not long afterwards the legislature of New York, probably with a view only to the authority claimed by the Governor, and not to that of the mother country, passed an act similar to that of Massachussetts, in which its own supremacy, not only in matters of taxation, but of general legislation, is expressly asserted. Both these acts, however, were disapproved in England, and the Parliament asserted its autho

Talking of Objects, Speaking with Fluids: Lava Lamps, Icebergs, Swimming Pools, Hyperobjects
Marcel Finke
On my book stand: a paperback with an aesthetically appealing front cover. The image shows an arctic seascape; it looks pretty cool, and a bit gloomy. Beneath the dull sky a huge mass of ice is floating in the water. Scattered sunbeams break through the dark clouds, dramatically illuminating the tip of the iceberg. Above the ocean's surface, the frozen flotsam has a bluish gleam sprinkled with bright highlights. Below the waterline, the drifting body of ice is much more extensive and murky, pointing into an obscure and undifferentiated deep.
The cover design would surely have been appropriate for Hans Blumenberg's posthumous publication Quellen, Ströme, Eisberge (2012). The book contains three essays on metaphors of the fluid, which were written between 1980 and 1981. As part of an intellectual endeavour that Blumenberg called metaphorology, the texts explore the rhetorical tropes of source, stream, and iceberg in order to show how verbal imagery provides effective figures of thought, rather than being mere literary decoration. He points out that metaphors indicate and belong to an "orientation system" that directs our thinking, although it stays in the background. According to Blumenberg, the achievement of metaphorology is to question the "alleged evidence of the metaphor", and to lay bare the "latency of the background", i.e. drawing attention to what usually remains unnoticed. By the way, the front cover of his book on tropes of fluidity is dry and plain white; like the dust jacket, it shows nothing watery or floating – not even icebergs.
And that cool and eye-catching book in front of me? Well, it is actually Hyperobjects: Philosophy and Ecology after the End of the World (2013) by Timothy Morton. According to the title, the author is talking about objects – why, then, is the cover so overtly aqueous? The rain clouds in the sky, the mist that scatters the sunlight, the melting drift ice and the iceberg, the water of the ocean. There can be no doubt, the imagery is fluid through and through. Doesn't it miss the subject of the book? Maybe it was just poor photo-editing, after all, corrected in later translations? I don't think so. As will become clear, the cover picture aptly captures some verbal motifs from Morton's Hyperobjects, and also points to features of his reasoning that are not so obvious. The book is replete with flowing and oozing rhetorical tropes; it would be a treasure trove for Blumenberg and his metaphorological engagement with figures of liquidity.
Fluids, fluids, fluids. The front cover of Timothy Morton's Hyperobjects (2013) features rain clouds, misty air, and a massive body of ice floating in arctic waters – it is all aqueous. In fact, the book is dripping with rhetorical figures of fluidity: from the lava lamp to icebergs, swimming pools, and stickiness.
Now, that comes as a bit of a surprise. Morton is actually very explicit about his disdain for all things fluid and processual. He repeatedly criticises the "flowing aesthetic in contemporary thought" and its preference for flux and change. The rhetorical means he uses to bash process-related approaches is the lava lamp. You remember the good old lava lamp? A cone-shaped glass container filled with a clear liquid and some blobs of coloured wax that begin to float and transform when heated by an incandescent light bulb. A poor and kitschy image of fluidity, indeed! Morton's strategy to express his reservations about philosophies of process and flow is to call them "lava-lampy". In his book Realist Magic (2013), published in the same year as Hyperobjects, he elaborates a bit more on this idea. There, he speaks pejoratively of "lava lampism", and discredits new materialist thinkers as "lava lampists". What they are chasing, Morton argues, is a kind of "lava-lamp fluidity", i.e. a merely aesthetic phantasm.
Besides these accusations, he has critical objections, too. As with the actual lamp, these approaches, Morton maintains, depend on some sort of stable receptacle in which the flows can take place. Thus, the time in which the processes unfold would become an external and static container. Moreover, he calls lava-lampism a reductive way of thinking and a form of superficial aestheticism, since it is based on the limited possibilities of human perception. What appears to be flowing and processual, he asserts, is but an illusion; a deception of the eye like filmic movements that are in fact a fusion of discrete stills. From Morton's point of view, allusions to fluids and flows are nothing more than a rhetorical trick for concealing a theoretical stasis. Well, against this backdrop, the aqueous front cover of Hyperobjects seems to be somewhat odd. But wait for it!
In the book, icebergs make a grand appearance. They are closely related to Morton's central subject: hyperobjects. Are icebergs hyperobjects? Maybe they are, but that is not the point. The metaphor of the iceberg is used to illustrate the way that the existence of hyperobjects came to our knowledge. Morton depicts the discovery of hyperobjects as a kind of nautical disaster. Like the crew and passengers of the Titanic, he argues, we are all travelling in the "ship of modernity" that has collided with the "iceberg of hyperobjects." Certainly, Blumenberg would have taken great delight in this imagery! The modernist seafarers suffer the shock of the hyperobject-iceberg's sudden occurrence; their fate is sealed: MS Modernity is shipwrecked. Hyperobjects have always existed, of course, yet like icebergs in arctic waters they sometimes lack visibility.
As Hans Blumenberg has demonstrated, the iceberg metaphor is commonly linked to issues of perceptibility; it addresses the disparity between latency and manifestation in particular. On the one hand, the floating chunk of ice can pop up from a foggy and obscure environment, becoming a dangerous obstacle for our sea voyage. Morton alludes to this aspect by boldly modifying his initial imagery: now, the "ship of modernity" cruises through the "arctic mist of hyperobjects". The hyperobject turned from an iceberg in the mist into the mist itself, thus shrouding the hyperobject-icebergs that drift across the ocean. It seems that there is a bit of melting and evaporation going on here – no surprise in the age of global warming, which is Morton's prime example of a hyperobject. There is, however, a second aspect to the iceberg's peculiar (non-)visibility; an aspect that also applies in a way to hyperobjects: only a fraction of them is perceptible. Above the water, the tip of the iceberg can be seen once it has emerged from the fog, but the much bigger part of it lies beneath the surface of the sea. Just as the bulk of the iceberg is hidden in cold water, hyperobjects for the most part remain latent, too. This is, however, not the end of Morton's nautical language game; there is yet another twist to the metaphor. A bit later in the book, the "Titanic of modernity" changes into a different kind of vessel. The ocean liner morphs into a scientific battleship "equipped with powerful lasers and nuclear weapons" that constantly discovers new icebergs (aka hyperobjects) during its explorations. Paraphrasing the Communist Manifesto, Morton thus determines the date of the hyperobjects' appearance: "For at the very point at which the melting into air occurs, we catch the first glimpses of the all-too-solid iceberg within the mist." What? Despite all the aqueous and seafaring images, we still end up with solidity? Let's see if the iceberg melts too!
In Morton's book, the kitschy lava lamp and the nebulous iceberg are not the only metaphors that relate to fluidity. I shall only mention two more, the swimming pool and viscosity. Both of them specify hyperobjects. The trope of the swimming pool is introduced to illustrate the fact that hyperobjects do not exist "over yonder", and that we do not access them "across a distance." According to Morton, instead hyperobjects "envelop us", and we are always already immersed and caught within them. In Hyperobjects, the swimming pool makes but a brief appearance. Morton quotes this passage from Levi Bryant: "Hyperobjects are thus like our experience of a pool while swimming. Everywhere we are submersed within the pool […]." In his blog, Morton reaffirms that he likes "the swimming pool analogy." And in his essay "Zero Landscapes in the Time of Hyperobjects" (2011), he further elaborates on this metaphorical characterisation:
Imagine you have spent your whole life in a swimming pool. […] Slowly you begin to realize that the water you have been ignoring exists all around you. You are surrounded by a hyperobject. You exist in a hyperobject.
Well, this is quite a change of scenery. We left the chilly Arctic Ocean and have jumped right into refreshing pool water. Eventually, the iceberg has melted under the relentless Texan sun. In the context of Morton's aversion to Heraclitean flux, the swimming pool is indeed a suitable metaphor. Instead of a flowing stream with currents and turbulences, hyperobjects seem to be like tamed and confined waters. They only splash and ripple when we move. I wonder if cocktails are waiting for us poolside. And as far as I am familiar with swimming pools, they depend on a static container too, just like lava lamps. You cannot plunge into the cool wet unless the liquid is framed, preventing it from leaking and seeping away. So, is the swimming pool the lava lamp of object-oriented ontology? There is yet another aspect of the imagery that seems quirky: if you are swimming in a pool, more often than not your head is sticking out of the water. Are we, then, like human icebergs, the tip of our body afloat and the rest submerged? Thus, in order to be fully immersed in the watery hyperobject, you might have to hold your breath and dive. It is, however, not the oddity of the hyperobject-pool that is relevant here, but the simple fact that Morton again resorts to a rhetorical trope of fluidity.
And there is yet another: viscosity. In addition to nonlocality, temporal undulation, phasing, and interobjectivity, it is one of the five salient features of hyperobjects. As Wikipedia reminds us, viscosity is a property of fluids, namely their resistance to deformation or shearing. What Morton has in mind is the following: we not only swim in hyperobjects, they also cling to us. We cannot escape from them or get rid of them. Viscosity, then, refers to their stickiness. The pleasant pool water has turned slimy and gooey. Like Sartre's honey or the mirror in The Matrix, hyperobjects are gluey, and adhere to our very existence. You may try to wash them off, but no soap is strong enough to make them loosen their liquid embrace. Moreover, the hyperobject's viscosity, Morton argues, "forces us to acknowledge that we are oozing, suppurating with nonhuman beings […]." In other passages we learn that hyperobjects "leak everywhere. They undulate back and forth, oozing spacetime all around them," creating an "ocean of floating temporality and spatiality [which] wafts to and fro […]." And due to the emergence of hyperobjects, the concepts of both World and Nature have melted and evaporated. The list could go on and on. I will leave it at that.
Don't get me wrong. Hyperobjects is a thought-provoking and challenging book with a bold sense of humour. If you haven't already, you should definitely read it. However, what is very irritating is Morton's contradictory attitude: the denigration of fluidity and flow on the one hand, and the extensive employment of fluid metaphors on the other. I don't find it problematic that he uses this kind of rhetorical imagery. Moreover, I agree that recourse to tropes of flux is not necessarily better in itself, and that it has become trendy. Certainly, we should develop a critical stance towards what John Law and Brad Epps called the romanticism or fetish of fluidity. What we don't need is a general panta-rhei-isation. Not everything flows, and not everything flows equally. We should not play off the soft and runny against the hard and steady, solidifying their alleged opposition. Instead, the conceptual field and ambivalent semantics of fluidity should be examined more carefully. If there is an "imperative of the fluid and liquid" (Kijan Espahangizi & Barbara Orland) nowadays, it needs to be scrutinised. Encouraged by Blumenberg's metaphorology, we should take a closer look at the rhetoric of the flowing, at flux as a figure of knowledge and thought, and the topos of liquefaction. The development of our cultural imaginations and the aesthetics of the mutable, dispersed, dynamic, and ephemeral should be studied, as well as the range of historical engagement with fluidity between affirmation and dismissal. Morton's rejection of fluids and flows is too broad-brush, and his own reflections on objects are more drenched than he likes to admit. Fluid imagery seems to be poured into his text by the bucketload, as it were, rather than slowly seeping through it. If "lava-lamp theory is brittle," then Morton's swimming-poolism is soggy. That said, it is a sheer wonder that the paperback with its icy-blue cover isn't already soaking wet, curly, and stained by mould.

Global Citizens take action to make gender equality a G20 priority
Check out the Global Citizen impact on girls and women in 2015
Flickr- Albert González Farran - UNAMID
In 2015, global citizens took over 330,000 actions in support of girls and women in 2015, including 82,048 petition signatures calling on the G20 to put economic empowerment for girls and women at the top of the G20 summit agenda.
Responding to the Global Citizen petition and other efforts, Global Citizen Festival Turkish Prime Minister, Ahmet Davutoğlu, recognized his role as Chair of the G20 summit to be held in Antalya, Turkey in November 2015, and agreed to utilize his role to advocate for, and make the G7 a platform for gender equality. PM Davutoğlu addressed the crowd saying, "I am calling on all G20 leaders to prioritize the needs of women in the workforce and society for a more peaceful, inclusive world" and committed to encourage world leaders to deliver on reducing the workforce gender gap by 25% over 10 years.
Not simply encouraging leaders to act, Turkey has also led the establishment of a new G20 engagement group, the Women-20, which will specifically focus on improving gender empowerment. Prime Minister Davutoğlu has also committed to monitor and report on the progress they are making to create better lives for girls and women. If Turkey achieves its goal, 100 million more women will get access to fair and equal work around the world.

Q: Customizing jQuery UI Date Picker to Restrict Dates I've made a custom date picker using jQuery UI:
http://jsfiddle.net/u8fVj/
$("#input_custom_date").datepicker({
numberOfMonths: 2,
beforeShowDay: function(date) {
    //Get today's date
    var today = new Date();
    today.setHours(0,0,0,0);

    if (today.getDay() == 4 || today.getDay() == 5 || today.getDay() == 6) {
        //If today is Wednesday, Thursday, Friday don't allow Sunday to be selectable until the next week on Sunday.
        var disabledDate = new Date(today||new Date());
        disabledDate.setDate(disabledDate.getDate() + (0 - 1 - disabledDate.getDay() + 7) % 7 + 1);
        return [(date > today && date.getDay() == 0 && date.toString() != disabledDate.toString()), ''];
    }else if(today.getDay() == 0){
        //If today is Sunday, don't allow today to be selectable.
        var disabledDate = today;
        var curr_date = date.getDate();
        var curr_month = date.getMonth();
        var curr_year = date.getFullYear();
        var dDate = new Date(curr_year, curr_month, curr_date);
        return [(date > today && date.getDay() == 0 && dDate.toString() != disabledDate.toString()), ''];
    }else{
        //Everything is fine, allow all Sundays to be selectable
        var day = date.getDay();
        return [(date > today && day == 0), ''];
    }
}

});

Right now the user should only be able chose dates on a Sunday. It needs to check and see if today's date is a Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday before the upcoming Sunday, and if it is, the date picker should disable the upcoming Sunday. Likewise, if today's date is a Sunday, it should disable today in the date picker.
However, instead of only Sunday being selectable, I need to change the date picker to only allow Monday and Tuesday to be selectable. If today's date is Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, it should disable the upcoming Monday and Tuesday. If today is a Monday it should disable both Monday and Tuesday for the current week. If today's date is Tuesday it should only disable today's date.
Also, I would need to ability to throw in specific dates for holidays to be disabled, which could be hard-coded.
Not sure how to go beyond what I have now and would appreciate any help. I've been trying to get this working and can't get the logic to work out.

A: You essentially need to just move the .getDay() == 0 checks to .getDay() == 1 || .getDay() == 2, 1 and 2 being Monday and Tuesday.  A similar comparison needs to be done for disableDate
disabledDate.setDate(disabledDate.getDate() + (1 - 1 - disabledDate.getDay() + 7) % 7 + 1);

The 0 - 1 is changed to 1 - 1 (not needed, but done for clarity) to get Monday.  2 - 1 yields Tuesday.
As for handling special dates, you can just store these in a <ul hidden> in the DOM and do a check on those first:
beforeShowDay: function(date) {
    //Get today's date
    var today = new Date(), specialDate = false;
    today.setHours(0,0,0,0);

    $(".special-dates li").each(function () {
        if ($(this).text() == today.toString()) {
            specialDate = true;
            return false;
        }
    });
    if (specialDate) {
        return [true, ''];
    }

Mahama urges government to prioritise agribusinesses on Farmers' Day
Former President, John Mahama, has urged the government to prioritise agribusinesses and support key players in the agricultural value chain as a means to boost the economy.
According to him, in the face of recent downgrades by international rating agencies and the high inflation rate in the country, supporting the agricultural sector to reduce imports and strengthen the weakening cedi is the way to go.
He said this in a Facebook post to mark this year's National Farmers' Day celebrated on December 2.
"I celebrate all farmers on this auspicious occasion for their priceless efforts that feed us and keep our industries running.

John Mahama doesn't support Aseidu Nketiah as NDC national chairman
"With Ghana's economy at the brink of collapse, as proven by Rating Agencies through their unending downgrades, and the hardship it has brought to many homes, this is the time for government to begin to take farmers and farming related businesses serious," he said.
He continued, "This is the surest way we can reduce imports, strengthen the struggling cedi and save Ghana's economy.
"I urge government to prioritise agribusiness and support with favourable financing for farmers and all actors in the agricultural value chain."
Meanwhile, Moody's has downgraded the Government of Ghana's long-term issuer ratings to Ca from Caa2 or further junk status and changed the outlook to stable.
This concludes the review for downgrade that was initiated on September 30, 2022.
"The Ca rating reflects Moody's expectation that private creditors will likely incur substantial losses in the restructuring of both local and foreign currencies debts planned by the government as part of its 2023 budget proposed to Parliament on 24 November 2022″, a statement published on its website said..
The statement pointed out that "given Ghana's high government debt burden and the debt structure, it is likely there will be substantial losses on both categories of debt in order for the government to meaningfully improve debt sustainability".

La Fonda Espanya, actualment Hotel Espanya, és un edifici situat al
carrer de Sant Pau, 9-11 del Raval de Barcelona, catalogat com a bé d'interès cultural. Hi destaca la decoració modernista realitzada per l'arquitecte Lluís Domènech i Montaner junt amb altres artistes d'aquest moviment.

Descripció
La Fonda Espanya és un edifici entre mitgeres de planta baixa i quatre pisos. La façana es presenta revestida amb morters, però les obertures, alineades en vuit eixos verticals i de dimensions decreixents, presenten llurs emmarcaments de pedra. La planta baixa s'obre al carrer per mitjà de vuit grans portals coronats per arcs de mig punt, amb llurs dovelles motllurades a platabandes i reposant sobre robustos pilars de pedra ornats a quarterons. Damunt d'aquests portals hi reposa una cornisa sobre la qual sorgeixen les bolades dels tres balcons correguts del primer pis. Els balcons presenten llosanes de pedra motllurada i es tanquen per mitjà d'unes baranes a base de barrots i volutes de ferro forjat molt característiques de l'arquitectura de mitjan . En el segon pis els balcons presenten la mateixa estructura, però no així en el tercer i quart pis, on hi ha balcons simples i ampitadors respectivament. Les portes que donen accés a aquests balcons presenten la llinda i els muntants motllurats a base de platabandes. La façana queda rematada per un cornisament d'estuc motllurat i amb mènsules de secció rectangular.

El vestíbul principal actua com a distribuïdor de la planta baixa i, mitjançant arcs de mig punt, dona accés al restaurant, al celobert, a l'escala principal i a la cafeteria o sala de tertúlies. A les sobreportes, els carcanyols dels arcs són ornats amb els escuts daurats de les diferents corones que formen Espanya: Aragó, Castella, Lleó i Navarra. Els murs presenten un potent arrambador de marbre rosat amb inscripcions en relleu sobredaurat que donen la benvinguda als hostes. L'element més significatiu d'aquest espai és la columna central que sosté la jàssera del forjat. Acabada en marbre rosat, aquesta columna presenta un capitell floral i un fust estriat que serveix de suport a un llum de broze daurat consistent en un escut de Catalunya rematat per una corona mural i flanquejat per dos lleons que sostenen, a banda i banda, un parell de fanals de cristall tallat.

El restaurant, ubicat a la dreta del vestíbul, és un gran saló de planta rectangular amb els murs revestits de marbre rosat i un arrambador consistent en un fris de fusta tallada a base de flors i penjadors per a abrics. Sota aquest fris hi corre un fris fet de mosaics de colors que representen, sobre un fons floral, els escuts de diverses províncies d'Espanya. Unes pilastres rematades amb mènsules de pedra esculpides amb lleons i escuts sostenen el forjat, que convina magistralment unes biguetes de fusta tallada i uns mosaics florals que cobreixen els revoltons. Al fons de la sala, tres arcs ornats amb mosaics florals donen accés a les cuines i a la Sala de les Sirenes. L'espai és il·luminat per uns notables llums de bronze daurat en forma de corona penjada del sostre i en forma d'aplic de tres braços adossats a les pilastres.

La Sala de tertúlies o cafeteria, ubicada a l'esquerra del vestíbul, és un saló de planta rectangular cobert amb un forjat de fusta policromada i revoltó. La jàssera central d'aquest sostre és sostingut per dues columnes amb fust de marbre daurat amb un basament i un entaulament de gran volumetria i acabats en pedra de Montjuïc. Tanmateix, l'element més significatiu d'aquest espai és la gran llar de foc que presideix el saló, esculpida en alabastre pel cèlebre escultor Eusebi Arnau i cisellada per Alfons Juyol. La boca de la llar, de perfil circular, és flanquejada per un ancià i una dona alletant un nadó mentre tot d'infants ballen en rotllana sobre un jaç de gespa. La xemeneia està decorada amb un potent escut d'Espanya que convina elements del regnat dels Reis Catòlics (els escuts) i de l'imperi de Carles I (l'àliga bicèfala, el toisó d'or i les columnes d'Hèrcules).

La Sala de les Sirenes o peixera, ubicada al fons del vestíbul, és un saló de planta rectangular cobert amb un forjat de ferro forjat i revoltó revestit i una gran claraboia il·luminada des del pati de llums. Els murs presenten uns interessants arrambadors en què una gelosia de fusta contornejada acull els escuts en ceràmica blanca i blava, de diverses regions d'Espanya. Tanmateix, l'element més destacat d'aquest espai és la decoració esgrafiada en els murs, dissenyada pel cèlebre pintor Ramon Casas. Aquests esgrafiats representen, enmig de les onades del mar, un gran compendi de peixos i animals marins i un grup de sirenes que dansen gràcilment. A l'escòcia que uneix aquests murs i el forjat hi ha un fris d'onatges inspirat en «L'ona» de Hokusai.

Història
La Fonda Espanya va obrir les portes en un edifici preexistent al número 11 del carrer de Sant Pau l'any 1859. El desembre del 1862 s'amplià per mitjà de la compra de la finca veïna del número 9, reedificada segons el projecte de l'arquitecte Josep Buxareu, que dissenyà noves habitacions, un saló, una terrassa, safareigs, i remuntà tres pisos a la part posterior de l'immoble, on hi havia hagut una casa de banys.

El març del 1876, Joan Salvadó, industrial ceretà propietari de la fonda, sol·licità els permisos per a convertir un dels salons en habitacions per tal d'ampliar-ne la capacitat.

Entre 1898 i 1901, el nou propietari Miquel Salvadó encarregà algunes reformes per als tancaments de la planta baixa i el pati i per instal·lar-hi un ascensor elèctric. Entre 1902 i 1903 Lluís Domènech i Montaner s'encarregà de fer una reforma i redecoració integral dels interiors, comptant amb la col·laboració de l'escultor Eusebi Arnau i el pintor Ramon Casas. Aquesta obra va ser guardonada el 1904 com el millor establiment comercial en el Premi d'Arquitectura i Decoració convocat per l'Ajuntament de Barcelona. L'hotel esdevingué un dels principals establiments de la ciutat, comptant amb innovacions fins llavors poc habituals, com la llum elèctrica, el telèfon o l'ascensor, tot acompanyat d'una decoració moderna i elegant.

Amb la mort de Miquel Salvadó l'any 1921, l'hotel passà a mans del seu nebot, Josep Simon i Salvadó, que l'any 1928, atesa la proximitat de l'Exposició Universal del 1929, construí nous espais en el terrat de l'hotel. Al llarg del  la construcció de nous hotels més grans i moderns va contrarestar la celebritat de l'Hotel Espanya, que entrà en franca decadència. Després d'una important campanya de restauració i modernització de les instal·lacions, l'hotel reobrí l'any 2010 com un establiment de luxe que compta amb 82 habitacions i un servei de restauració dirigit pel cuiner Martín Berasategui.

Southerners are so devoted to genealogy that we see a family tree under every bush.
– Florence King
Stephen Ambrose Historical Tours has teamed up with genealogists Randy Decuir and Cathy Sturgell to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the first major sailing of French immigrants from France to the colony of La Louisiana in this special France 300: Louisiana Genealogical Tour.
We will retrace the passage from the port cities of Le Havre, Port-Louis, and La Rochelle in France to the "New World" and discover how and why these ancestors became the founding Creole French families in Avoyelles and Pointe Coupée Parishes of Louisiana. We have put together a cohesive route using the church records of the villages, towns and ports of embarkation to trace the histories of these families.
Interspersed throughout the trip are some of France's cultural highlights. We visit Monet's home and gardens to soak up the scenery which his paintbrushes made world-famous. We explore the charming harbor towns of Honfleur, Vannes, and La Rochelle. We spend a day touring the major battlefields and famed cemetery of the D-Day Beaches. Included is a full day in the beautiful old-world town of Chinon, exploring its majestic fortress and enjoying a winery visit and tasting. Last but not least, after a short history/genealogy walk through neighborhoods and sites near Notre Dame Cathedral, you have the rest of the day to enjoy Paris in all of its splendor.

Paris: Take a short history/genealogy walk through neighborhoods and sites near Notre Dame Cathedral and spend the rest of the day on your own enjoying Paris
DAY 1 Flight
Take overnight flight to Paris – Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG)
DAY 2 Rouen
Arriving no later than 1045am at Charles de Gaulle airport, you will get your luggage, clear customs, and head to the taxi area outside the airport. Take a taxi to the Airport Hilton Hotel and meet the group in the lobby. We'll leave promptly at noon via motor coach to visit the home of French Impressionist Painter Claude Monet in Giverny, where will have a leisurely lunch and visit his famed gardens, studio, and home.
After a short stop in the village of origin of the Tassin family, La Chapelle-Réanville, we'll arrive at Rouen and check into our hotel for the next two nights. We'll end our first evening in France with a welcome dinner.
The group will start the day with a walking tour in Rouen. Rouen contains multiple exquisite churches and cathedrals from the late middle ages as well as over 2000 half-timbered houses, some of which pre-date the burning at the stake of Jeanne d'Arc there in 1431. It is also the ancestral home of multiple Louisiana families such as the Normand, Desselles, Brouillette, Dauzat, Couvillion, and Armand families.
After our morning historical walk, we'll head to the quaint village of Maintenay, home of ancestors Pierre Mayeux and Marie Sellier/Cellier. While there, we'll view the serene setting of the ancient 12th watermill on the banks of the Rivière Authie.
In the afternoon, we will drive to the Normandy seaside resort town of Dieppe where William the Conqueror sailed with his army to the Sussex coast in 1066 before the Battle of Hastings. While there, we'll visit Eglise St-Jacques, Dieppe's oldest and biggest church, as well as Eglise Saint-Rémy which was built in the 15th and 16th century. Dieppe was the home of ancestors of the Berza, Couvillion, Moreau, and Roy families as well as the home of Iberville and Bienville LeMoyne who established multiple settlements along the Gulf Coast including New Orleans, Biloxi, and Mobile in the early 18th century.
We'll head back to our hotel in Rouen, and you'll be free to enjoy the city at your leisure and enjoy a meal at a restaurant of your choosing.
DAY 4 Bayeux
In the morning, we'll drive to the coastal city of Le Havre. Officially founded in 1517 by King François I, this important port city was destroyed by Allied air raids in WWII. Fortunately, the Cathédrale Notre-Dame du Havre was one of the few buildings to have survived the devastation. This church was the center of faith for Guillaume Lemoine and the Bordelon family in the late 17th/early 18th century. In addition to visiting the Cathedral, we'll also visit the port from which some of the ships to Louisiana sailed 300 years ago.
From La Havre, we make the short trek to Honfleur, a beautiful 11th century port town, spared from much of the destruction of WWII and tied to the Roy family. You'll have two hours to eat at one of its many restaurants and explore the shops and sights, before we depart for the heart of the Normandy coastline that became the epicenter of the Allied invasion of Europe in WWII.
Our final stop of day will be the Arromanches 360 Cinema, where you'll watch an incredibly moving short film about D-Day. It will help provide an overview of the locations and actions, before the following day at the major sights. We will enjoy a perfect view over the remains of the artificial invasion harbor (Mulberry) from 1944 that still rests offshore.
A short drive later, we'll arrive at our hotel for the next two nights in Bayeux. After being captured by Rollo the Viking in 880, it became a Norman stronghold and is the home of the renowned 11th century Bayeux Tapestry. We'll end the evening with a group dinner.
Today will be centered entirely around Operation Overlord: "D-Day." We'll head out for St. Mère-Église, one of the first towns captured as American paratroopers landed late at night on June 5, 1944. Their objective was to cut off German supplies, confuse troops, and take out gun batteries defending the American invasion beaches of Utah and Omaha, before the troops landed the following morning. We'll visit the moving and informative Airborne Museum and visit the square and local church, where a mannequin of a US paratrooper and his chute still hangs today from the church steeple.
We'll make the short drive over to Utah Beach. Here you'll have three hours to visit the excellent museum, walk along the beach, view the many division memorials, and eat lunch at a café whose walls are filled with the signatures and photos of countless US veterans of the battle.
Our next stop will be the famed Pointe-du-Hoc, where US Army Rangers scaled the cliffs to seize this important location. Filled with massive shell and bomb craters, you'll have time to walk along this complex of battle scarred and blown up bunkers and gun batteries,with a stunning view of the English Channel.
Our final stops of the day will be at the memorial on Omaha Beach, scene of the bloodiest fighting on D-Day – made famous in "Saving Private Ryan." We'll then head over to the Normandy American Cemetery, which sits atop the bluffs that cost so many American lives to take. You'll have time to walk the rows of crosses in one of the most well-preserved and maintained military cemeteries in the world and reflect upon this great sacrifice in the cause of freedom.
We will be back in Bayeux late in the afternoon, where you'll have time to enjoy the city and dine and explore at your leisure.
DAY 6 Vannes
After a short visit to the Lacour hometown of Saint-Jean-des-Champs, we'll journey out to Brittany and the western coastal town of Port-Louis. There the group will visit the Musée de la Compagnie des Indes which is located in the 16th century Port-Louis Citadel, across the river from the port city of Lorient. We will enjoy a special reception there for this historic occasion and have a specially guided tour. The museum for this business enterprise showcases the economic motivations for colonizing French territories in the Americas, as Port-Louis was another embarkation port for many ancestors. The towns of Port-Louis, Lorient, and nearby Plœmeur are ancestral homes of the current Dupré, Bordelon, Scallan, Riché, Dupuis, Châtelain, Ozenne/Dauzat, L'Abbe, Decoux, Bara, Décuir, Fontenot, and Guillory families, among others.
After the museum visit, we'll travel south to the walled city of Vannes where we will spend the night after enjoying a group dinner.
DAY 7 La Rochelle
Founded over 2000 years ago, Vannes is a remarkable walled city and famous trading port. We'll spend several hours sightseeing the well-preserved medieval streets before heading south, making a short stop in the town of origin of the Lavallais family, Lavau-sur-Loire.
From there will drive to another ancient town, Nantes, where we'll eat lunch and browse the narrow streets of half-timbered houses and quaint shops in the old town.
We'll continue on our journey south, stopping at Fontenay-le-Comte, the hometown of the Joffrion family. Our final stop for the day will be La Rochelle, where we'll stay in the port city from which many ancestors sailed. We'll learn about its fascinating history, its involvement in multiple wars throughout its existence, as well as its connections to many Louisiana families including Lacour, Roy dit Châtellerault, Bordelon, Desautels, Goudeau, Gauthier/Hennet, Balan dit Lacombe, Soileau, Armand, Juneau and others. We'll spend the night in La Rochelle.
DAY 8 Chinon
After visiting historical churches and other sites in La Rochelle, we'll make a brief stop in Sainte-Soulle which is linked to both the Jouineau/Juneau and Desautels families. From there, we'll travel to Niort where we'll eat lunch at a giant French food market and briefly visit the current Eglise Saint-André. Although not the original church, it is the parish from which the Morin dit Chenevert family worshiped and, therefore, has ties to the Bordelon, Brulté, and Voinche families.
After lunch, we'll begin our journey toward the breathtaking Loire Valley. First, we'll visit Poitiers, another town with over two-thousand years of history. We'll visit the Romanesque church of Saint-Porchaire which is associated with the Louisiana surnames of Soileau, Fontenot, Dupré, Bordelon, and others.
On our way to our final destination for the day, we'll drive through the four villages associated with the Acadians: La Chaussée, Aulnay, Martaizé, and Loudun. A large number of the Acadians who populated Nova Scotia in the 17th century originated from these towns and the surrounding areas.
We'll end the day in Chinon, a lovely French town with a famous fortress dominating the view over the river and surrounding lands. The group will spend the next two nights in the Chinon area where we'll celebrate this beautiful area with a group dinner.
This will be a leisurely day which will begin with a visit to the Château de Chinon. Founded in the 10th century, the castle was controlled by various counts and kings, including Henry II of England – who died there. Jeanne d'Arc stayed at the castle in 1429 and claimed to hear heavenly voices which told her that Charles II would grant her an army to relieve the siege of Orléans. You'll have time to walk the town and enjoy lunch, before we head over to enjoy a winery visit and tasting, as Chinon is a major producer of the popular red wine varietal, Cabernet Franc.
DAY 10 Paris
This busy day will have us traveling north of Le Mans into the quaint villages of Courcival, Nauvay, Saint-Cosme-en-Virais, and Igé - towns of origin of members of the Grémillion, Rabalais, Décuir, and Normand families. We'll visit some of the churches in which our ancestors were baptized, married, and buried.
From there, we'll begin our final trek to the 'City of Lights' – Paris! We are hoping to arrive by mid-afternoon, get everyone checked into their hotel rooms, and provide you with a short orientation walk to familiarize everyone with the location. After that, you will be free to walk the streets, along the Seine, and drink up the sights, sounds, and smells of this most-visited city on the planet. You'll have a wide array of restaurants and sidewalk cafés to choose your evening meal.
We will start the morning with a fairly short walking tour, involving sites associated with our ancestors: Roland, Bordelon, Saucier, Benoist, Fourché/LaCasse, and others. You'll learn some fascinating history about the reasons some of our ancestors left France! Paris was home to many other surnames from which we descend, such as Roy dit Châtellerault, Bouchard, Sédillot, De Belleau, Du Pitié/Casse, Dupré dit La Suisse, Hébert/DuVivier, Jean Baptiste LeMoyne, Lenoir/LeBoeuf, Salé/Lupia, Maroy/LeGrand, and many others.
You'll have the rest of the morning and the entire afternoon to explore the many sights of Paris – from the Louvre to Les Invalides to the Eiffel Tower and Arche du Triomphe.
We'll end the tour with one final gathering: a farewell banquet, including complimentary wine service, where we can reflect upon our trip and the many locations that make up our collective family histories.

Reading newspaper every morning is like stabbing knife straight to my heart. It is very painful to read Auditor's General Report. Every sentence you read your mind will think out aloud. Ah! thats all the money goes. Ah! this ah! that..... but can't write it in this blog or they will arrest me or something. I don't know. I am just an ordinary lady who mean no harm and just want to lead a normal life peacefully. Let God judge and punish what they are doing or did.
Why the title is monkey story?
Why is it that some managers are typically running out of time while their staffs are typically running out of work?
It seemed that everyone in the company needed something from you yesterday, things that might have been important to them but had little time to do with getting your job done.and when you are trying to focus on one matter here we goes you would be inevitably be interrupted to attend to another. By the time you took care of all the paperwork, meetings and interruptions there was no time left to implement some of ideas you had for improving you own operation.
Here you goes have to work extra hours everyday and almost every weekend too!
You dont have time to see your friends or family or even spend time for yourself.
Eat Sleep walk talk work work work work and work.
If you are Manager , you may experience this.
Staff A : Miss , please help me to talk to Mr Tan our supplier they dont want to process our order if we dont make 50% payment upon confirmation. My problem is our accounts dept will be able to give us the cheque by end of next week but our marketing dept need the items urgently by this week for our event.
You : OK! I will try to talk to him and get to you soon.
Then when you are in your room one intercom came in , one of other head dept were saying he need help to do some of his urgent matter and your reply to him , ok I will see what I can do for you. Here goes another monkey on your shoulder.
By lunch time , more monkeys on your shoulder and you dont even have time to go out for lunch.
You can see most of your staff or other subbordinates happily out for lunch and here you are dont even have time to eat or even leave your station to pack your lunch.
Staff A : Boss you talk to Mr Tan?
You : Ah! not yet dear. I will get back to you later.
Hello! are you working for them or they are working for you?
When you hire all these people they are suppose to lighten up your burden. Not give you more burden.
Remember this... All monkeys must be handled at the lowest organisational level consistent with their welfare!
Assigning involves a single monkey; delegation involves a family of monkeys... hahahaha can you imagine these monkeys???
Things not worth doing are not worth doing well!
Do you think you learn something from this monkey story?
Do a little of thinking and you will get what I am trying to say...it happens everyday in our life.
Try to relate to this monkey story and I believe you could be good and effective manager. Not just efficient but effective!!!!
