This recipe is from my book, Seasonal Fruit Desserts.
Smash the tangerine zest with the sugar to moisten the sugar with the fruit's aromatic oils. Transfer to a 1-quart saucepan along with the cornstarch, juice, and salt. Stir to dissolve the cornstarch.
Bring the mixture to a boil and cook, stirring, until the juice has thickened, after just a few minutes. Cook one minute more, then turn off the heat and whisk in the butter and orange-flower water. Taste, and if extra sweetener is needed, add a few drops stevia, simple syrup, or agave nectar.
Divide among juice glasses and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
If you're not counting calories too carefully, serve with a dollop of whipped cream and any crisp or crunchy accompaniment: a piece of chocolate bark, some toasted nuts, or a cookie.

Employment and Labour on deadline to submit employment equity reports
The purpose of the Employment Equity Law is to promote equal opportunities and fair treatment in employment through the elimination of unfair discrimination.
PRETORIA, South Africa, January 11, 2022 / APO Group / –
The deadline for submitting labor fairness reports is approaching
The deadline for employers to submit their 2021 annual employment fairness (EE) reports is January 15, 2022.
The presentation of annual equity plans is prescribed in accordance with the Employment Equity Law. The reporting window opened on September 1, 2021 for manual and online reporting. The manual reporting season closed on October 1, 2021.
The Director of the Department of Employment and Labor for EE, Ntsoaki Mamashela, advised employers to submit their reports on time and not wait until the last 'second'. Mamashela warned that if the system is stuck with many people logging in at the same time, you run the risk of crashing.
The presentation of the 2021 report was preceded by a national series of advocacy workshops. EE workshops focused on presenting:
respective condition of provincial EE; Update on EE amendments and EE sector targets; How to access copies of EEA2 Online by completing the EEA11 form, including the 2021 EE reports; and the inspections and application of EE in the labor market.
The Employment Equity Law came into force in 1998. The purpose of the Employment Equity Law is to promote equal opportunities and fair treatment in employment through the elimination of unfair discrimination, implementing action measures affirmative to redress the employment disadvantages experienced by designated groups and to ensure their equitable representation at all occupational levels of the workforce.
Failure to comply with the provisions of the EE Law may lead to the imposition of fines.
Mamashela also took some time and praised the Minister of Employment and Labor, TW Nxesi, for submitting South Africa's instruments of ratification to the International Labor Organization (ILO) on the Convention (C190) dealing with violence and harassment in work place. Mamashela said that the signature would provide an ideal framework for the interpretation and implementation of the Employment Equity Act related to violence and harassment, including gender-based violence in the world of work.
He said that to provide more protection for workers, Nedlac is on track to finalize a code of conduct and guidelines on applying mechanisms to address violence and harassment in the workplace by March 2022.

TESS team members and scientists participated in a number of successful events at the 231st American Astronomical Society meeting in National Harbor, MD, in January 2018. TESS activities included a joint evening splinter session on NASA's TESS and K2 missions, a special seminar for science writers, and a number of talks, posters, and hyperwall presentations. Team members from MIT and NASA Goddard were also on hand to answer questions about the mission and feasibility of planned observations at a TESS booth in the exhibition hall, and there was much excitement for the upcoming launch throughout the meeting.

Do you love apple pie? I sure do. When our local farmers started bringing fresh apples to the farmer's market, my son asked if we could make an apple pie. It was 100 degrees outside, so uh, no. Sorry. BUT I did agree to see if I could make him an apple pie smoothie and I must say I am pretty proud of how this turned out!
Now you can enjoy apple pie all year round - even when it's hot outside - since this is your secret to no-bake apple pie!
Add frozen banana to smoothie and pulse until well blended and uniform in texture.
Top with whipped cream and a dash of apple pie spice.

What does Cyrus Drake being a teddy bear have to do with this topic?
In Krokotopia the Balance tree Niles gives the multiple shields & blades spells. Niles can only be fould in the Krokospinx.
I'm an Ice wizard and even though i have high health, other wizards that are the same level as me or close to the same level as me beat me in pvp. Just because we Ice wizards have high health, does not mean we are really overpowered if we choose a good secondary school. it's not like i never win in pvp, but high health does not make Ice hard to beat.
I think that marleybone should have a pet shop.
I kind of understand the "Cyres Drake the mean teacher" concept but if your myth he eventually warms up.
The minigame silver chests have keeps saying "the minigame failed to..." and it even won't let me quit it. some of my friends have the same problem too!
i think there should be an actual school for balance. it dosent seem fair that the other classes have buildings and balance just have a guy stand outside in the freezing cold. thx for veiwing!
i don't know if there is one but why not put a rainbow by rainbow bridge or make the bridge rainbow.
I think it would be really cool and helpful (and not in the making the game too easy kind of way) to apply stats from your gear onto cards. What I mean is, let's just say for example, me being a Fire Wizard, that I have a nineteen accuracy boost to all fire spells. So for example, let's say Efreet pops up in my deck, I think it would be very helpful to show that difference on the card. So instead of it saying there is 75% accuracy, it would show a 94% chance minimum (based on whatever gear you are wearing & any enchantments you put on that card that affect accuracy).
And this doesn't need to just apply to accuracy. A really purposeful way this feature could be used is for attack boost & health boost as well. I just would like to know ahead of time if my card is going to be able to knock out an enemy or heal me enough BEFORE I use it. For example, If I am using a fire spell that does 500 base damage, and my GEAR gives me a 50% boost to fire attacks, I think it should show up on the card with 750 Fire Attack. Or, if I am healing with a Pixie, and it heals for 400, and my gear gives me a 10% incoming healing boost, then I think it is only fair to tell me it will be 500 base health coming in, for example.
At the Wizard City pet shop, I think there should be a pet for each school. To determine these pets, KI should figure out which is more popular, unicorn or imp, then remove the least popular. From there, keep adding pets for the schools that aren't represented. I personally think that it would be best to have a pet for each of the first Rank 1 spells: Thundersnake, Ice Beetle, etc. Except they should keep the piggles and dragons- those are very popular. But I guess KI wants to limit the cool pets so that the non-paying players start paying.
I would like to see a feature where you can take pets from any of your characters, pick a total of five characteristics you want from any/each pet and hatch those into your new pet. Instead of trail and error from constant hatching and then having to spend countless hours leveling the pet, only to find he didn't get the right characteristic you desire. Maybe charge an extra gold fee for "selective hatching". Kind of like farmers cross hatch livestock to get the characteristics they desire. Say for instance a storm pet with may cast life sprite, may cast storm shield, may cast storm blade, manna increase, and my cast tower shield.
Or even the ability to purchase traits in the hatchery that you want in your pet. It is so frustrating to have to cross hatch pets several times, and level them up, only to find they didn't gain anything useful for your style of play.
that would make pvp so much easier ugh i hate having to deal with people who's pets all give fifteen resist and spritely and whatever! so. annoying! i wish i could match that without a) spending a fortune on crowns for mega snacks or b) spending the rest of my life on this game! who's with me right?
other things i don't like... animation times :-/ kinda loooong. and so for the first time you're all like cool thing there a fiery elephant just beat up that wimpy npc and then you see it again and again and again. till you want to quit! also i don't want to waste my life dueling like that. i also wish waterworks was shorter, it'll never happen but i will say it i would like derby to get your other racers together quicker (decrease the wait time) and be nice and give life another aoe, for the nice life people ok?
It is true that Nile the Balance Tree can train you with blades but not shields. What look like shields are actually traps.
I consider myself a defense wizard. I provide defenses to myself and my friends first and then attack. I check their health, mana and what spells the foes are casting and cast my spells accordingly. At this time, the only shield I'm missing is the fire shield which I will get on my next training point.
When I first saw Niles, I thought those were shields as well until I took a closer look. They are traps.
If your intention was for traps, then I sincerely apologize for the oversight.
well i can't seem to find any pets with spells either they cost too many arena tickets or i need to get a higher rank and all the pets i find or get with spells say "gives at ancient"
Ya, about the avatar you can't get it.Its only for wizard101 people like proffesors and those thingies.
You are able to get higher level pets... But the only way i know how to do it involves being certain levels.
Such as level 48, you do a quest for a spell, and get a pet as well... I am life, so for example, I got a pet satyr.
But there is one other way, now that I think of it.
At level 7, where you go to the pet pavilion, you can train in games. If you get your pet to adult, you can hatch it... But you are going to need a LOT of gold. I am talking like 30,000!
Just a tip: People may not want to hatch with you if they see that your pet has poor stats. Also, most people do not hatch with pets like dragons and pigs. It would help to have a good pet.
Get a high level friend to take you to a high level boss. They can give good pets. Also, the Midnight Sun Pagoda gives spiders and onis.
I hope i could provide you with useful information.
I am life as well ( don't be confused by me name that is my death wizard aka my real brother) and I didn't get that pet until level 50. I am level 53 now.
P.S I named my satyr duke cookie he is a mega now!
"healing is most important thing to a wizards well being if you heal yourself and others you are doing well, do so"
I've been wanting a thread like this for a while now. Anyways, if there was one thing I could want more than anything (and I mean anything), I would want a trading system in which you could trade items instead of just treasure cards. I'd probably do this through another icon we could click on when selecting an item in our backpack, or you could add another interface on the treasure card trading menu where you can select cards, seeds, snacks, or items. There could also be an option in the bank to do so also.

WhatsApp Android users are complaining of a new issue that keeps the last reply context in the compose window even when it has been replied to.
The WhatsApp bug seems to be affecting users on WhatsApp Android beta version 2.19.27, though it has been fixed in three consecutive updates.
– Reply a message in a chat.
– Exit from the chat and open it again.
WhatsApp could soon be integrated with Instagram and Facebook Messenger, reports Bloomberg. The underlying messaging infrastructure of the WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Instagram could be unified, though the three services will continue operating as stand-alone apps. The integration will likely be completed by the end of this year or early 2020.
Meanwhile, WhatsApp is looking to add fingerprint authentication and as per a WABetaInfo, the feature, under its alpha development stage, has been disabled within the Android beta version of 2.19.3 via the backend. A similar feature for iOS with support for Face ID and Touch ID biometric authentication methods could also roll out.


Is This DIY Healing Technique The Secret To Inner Happiness?
Stressed? 'Tapping' may be the answer.
Over the years, humans have done many things in the pursuit of happiness, ranging from the benign to the downright batty.
Meditation, self-help books, aura cleansing, Ayahuasca ceremonies: very few stones remain unturned in our journey to inner peace. And who can blame us? Isn't that all anyone wants, really, to be happy?
One relatively untapped (see what we did there?) path to inner happiness that has recently gained popularity is 'tapping.' No, we're not going to recommend you start tap dancing—although that may put a smile on your face! 'Tapping' is slang for 'Emotional Freedom Techniques', otherwise known as EFT.
'Tapping' is what you get when your cross acupressure with positive visualisation. Like acupuncture, it's based around the idea that there are various pressure points that allow energy to flow through the body. Instead of needles, you use your fingers to 'tap' these pressure points and release negative emotions and imbalances. During this process, positive affirmations are normally repeated.
While the principles behind EFT have been around for thousands of years, the practice itself is relatively new. It evolved from Thought Field Therapy (TFT), a technique created by US Clinical Psychologist Rober Callahan in the 1980s. Callahan discovered that stimulating certain energy points relieved anxiety in some of his clients. In 1993, Gary Craig used these acupressure points as a starting point to create a system he claimed could be applied to treat any emotional issue: EFT.
Since then, EFT practitioners have used the technique to treat a wide range of psychological issues like anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction as well as physical symptoms like headaches and back pain.
So far, so good, but let's get down to the nitty-gritty…is EFT the real deal? Unfortunately, the scientific research isn't exactly in its favour. Like most healing techniques, there's no concrete evidence to suggest it works. However, there's plenty of anecdotal evidence from people who claim EFT has changed their life—including one Byrdie writer who says it relieved her anxiety. So, what gives?
Until more research is done into the science of energy healing, it's safe to say the placebo effect is behind the effectiveness of EFT. That is, the patient's belief in the treatment is what causes it to work, not the treatment itself. Such is the power of the human mind!
Whether or not you think EFT is the real deal, there's no harm in giving it a go. Unlike acupuncture, EFT requires no equipment and you don't have to be a trained professional to do it. It's something you can do while you're in the shower, on the bus (maybe without the mantras!) or even as part of your daily meditation practice.

Parishes: Long Wittenham
A History of the County of Berkshire: Volume 4. Originally published by Victoria County History, London, 1924.
LONG WITTENHAM
Advowson
Long Wittenham (xvi cent. onwards); Earl's Wittenham (xiii–xviii cent.); West Wittenham (xiiixix cent.); Great Wittenham (xiv cent.). (fn. 1)
The Village Cross, Long Wittenham
The area of the parish is 2,275 acres, of which considerably over half is arable land; 605 acres are laid down to permanent grass, and there are 42 acres of woods and plantations. (fn. 2) An Inclosure Act was passed in 1809 and the award bears the same date. (fn. 3) The parish occupies for the most part a level plain of drift gravel overlying Gault Clay, with Alluvium, but the rising ground to the south is composed of Upper Greensand. There is a gravel-pit near Clifton Bridge, and another, disused, on the Didcot road by Dry Leas. A brickfield upon the river-bank was worked until about 1870. The chief crops are wheat, barley and peas. The parish rises from the Thames Valley in the north to over 200 ft. at Down Hill in the south.
The village is on the right bank of the Thames, the street running south-west to north-east parallel with the stream. Near the church is Willington's Farm, (fn. 4) formerly a manor-house, of which the covered gateway and western wing were destroyed some years ago. (fn. 5) Behind it foundations of a mill are visible in the river-bank, and stones of the dam are to be seen under the water. A capital messuage, two water-mills, and a fishery belonged in the 13th and 14th centuries to the St. Helen's manor, (fn. 6) which was subsequently called the Douncourt. The Plessis also had a capital messuage. (fn. 7) The present manor-house, east of the church, is partly composed of the old manor farm and has large stew-ponds and an old half-timber and brick dovecote. It is the property of St. John's College, and is occupied by Admiral William Robert Clutterbuck. Near the church is the Tudor house called French's. Many of the half-timbered houses in the village were destroyed by fire in 1868, but other picturesque examples still remain. (fn. 8) The green to the west of the church is now inclosed and a hollow on it marks the site of the cockpit. The restored cross at the south end of the village street has its original steps and pedestal. (fn. 9)
There were eight 'Separatists' here in 1676. (fn. 10) The Primitive Methodist chapel was rebuilt in 1882. The village feast is held on the second Sunday after Trinity. An entertainment known as Tagg Feast used to be held on Christmas Day in the 18th century. (fn. 11) May Day celebrations are still observed, but mumming has died out in recent years.
A lane runs northwards from the village to Clifton Lock and the bridge to Clifton Hampden in Oxfordshire. The hithe or ferry belonged to John Brouns and his sons John and Richard, ferrymen or hithewards in the 14th century, and descended to co-heirs, one of whom was Thomas Frenshe alias King, living in 1441. It was the subject of many conveyances before being transferred to Exeter College in 1493. (fn. 12) The college sold it in the 19th century to Henry Hucks Gibbs, reserving the right for the parson to pass free of toll, and the new owner built a fine brick bridge here (fn. 13) in 1864. (fn. 14)
Numerous remains of early man and RomanoBritish times have been found. (fn. 15)
Some old field-names are 'la dune in le Hangenlonde,' Donforlong, and Westmannemeade. (fn. 16) Modern place names of interest are Padboro, where two burial circles and marks of foundations have been found, Coldbourne, marking the position of a lost stream, and Lakes.
Notable incumbents are Stephen George Francis Triboudet Demainbray, vicar in 1794, who was royal astronomer at Kew from 1782 to 1840, as his father had been; he was one of the first promoters of the allotment system and author of The Poor Man's Best Friend. (fn. 17) The miscellaneous writer Robert Bateman Paul (1825–9) (fn. 18) also held the living.
Queen Edith, who survived her husband Edward the Confessor and died in 1075, (fn. 19) held LONG WITTENHAM, assessed at 20 hides. In 1086 it was assessed at 13 hides 1 virgate, and was held by Walter Giffard in demesne. (fn. 20) Walter was the son of Walter Giffard, lord of Longueville in Normandy and cousin of William I. He died in 1102, leaving an only son Walter, who left no children. After Walter's death in 1164 (fn. 21) Wittenham, like the other Giffard lands, (fn. 22) remained in the king's hands for several years. (fn. 23) In 1191 the Giffard lands were restored to the descendants of Rohais, sister of Walter Giffard first Earl of Buckingham and wife of Richard Fitz Gilbert. From this date the overlordship followed the descent of that portion of the Giffard fief which went to the Marshals Earls of Pembroke, and passed with other Marshal lands to the Earls of Gloucester, coming eventually to the Crown by the forfeiture of Edward Duke of Buckingham in 1521. (fn. 24)
Giffard. Gules three lions passant argent.
Marshal. Party or and vert a lion gules.
Clare. Or three cheverons gules.
Stafford. Or a cheveron gules.
In 1354 and 1381 it seems to have been considered that part of Long Wittenham was held of the manor of Hampstead Marshall. (fn. 25)
William Marshal granted Wittenham to Hugh de Sandford and Richard his brother and Ralph de St. Helen to hold for the service of one knight's fee. (fn. 26)
Ralph de St. Helen was followed by William, tenant about 1240, (fn. 27) and before 1274 (fn. 28) by John, who held lands as one-third of a knight's fee here, and died in or before 1295, leaving a daughter and heir Beatrice wife of Giles de Braose. (fn. 29) Giles survived Beatrice, and died seised in or before March 1304–5, leaving a daughter and heir Lucy. (fn. 30) The custody during her minority of her portion of the manor was granted in 1307 to Richard le Lou. (fn. 31) She married Robert Mautravers, (fn. 32) and afterwards John de Paulesholt, and in 1333 settled the estate on herself and John for life, with remainder to her son John Mautravers and Elizabeth his wife in tail. (fn. 33) Lucy and John Mautravers 'of Crowell' died, and on the death of John de Paulesholt in March 1353–4 the estate reverted to John's son John Mautravers (fn. 34) a minor, (fn. 35) afterwards knighted. (fn. 36) He, described as John Mautravers of 'la Hoke,' conveyed it in 1369 to trustees as 'the manor of West Wittenham called LE DOUNCOURT. (fn. 37) They conveyed it ten years later (fn. 38) to William of Wykeham, Bishop of Winchester, who received licence from the Crown in 1381 to grant it to his new foundation at Oxford (fn. 39); but John Mautravers left a daughter and co-heir (fn. 40) Elizabeth, who married Sir Humphrey de Stafford, kt., and they in 1405 obtained its restoration to them under the settlement of 1333. (fn. 41) In 1428 Sir Humphrey Stafford, then of Hooke, was lord. (fn. 42) The estate was settled on Avis, only child of his eldest son Sir Richard, and her issue, with remainder to Humphrey son of another son John. Avis died childless and Humphrey died seised in 1461, when his heir was Sir Humphrey Stafford, kt., son of his uncle William. (fn. 43) Sir Humphrey was created Lord Stafford of Southwick in North Bradley (Wilts.) in 1464 and Earl of Devon in 1469, but was beheaded in the latter year, when his lands were forfeited. (fn. 44) In the same year the king gave licence for his co-heirs, the daughters of his aunt Alice, to take possession of his estates, (fn. 45) and this manor fell to the share of Eleanor wife of Thomas Strangeways. Her grandson (fn. 46) Giles (afterwards Sir Giles) Strangeways sold it in 1540 to Sir John Williams of Rycote, (fn. 47) who in 1542 conveyed it to the king in exchange for other estates. (fn. 48) In 1553 the manor was granted to Alice Dynham, (fn. 49) and three years later she sold it to Thomas White, (fn. 50) founder of St. John's College, Oxford, to which body the manor shortly afterwards passed, and to which it still belongs.
Mautravers. Sable a fret or.
Stafford of Southwich. Or a cheveron gules and a border engrailed sable.
Richard de Sandford, to whom a third of West Wittenham had been granted as stated above, went on a crusade as a Knight Templar, granting his part of the manor during his absence to his brother Robert. Richard died childless, and his nephew Robert son of Robert seems to have taken possession of this share, which was, however, claimed in 1222 by Hugh de Sandford, grantee of the other third. Hugh claimed as heir of Richard, as his elder brother Thomas and Warin, (fn. 51) Thomas's son, had surrendered their title to him. An agreement was made that Robert should hold this land of Hugh and his heirs for the service of 60s. and a rent of 10s. to Littlemore Priory. (fn. 52) Hugh thus obtained the overlordship of one-third as well as the tenancy of one-third, and his heirs were returned in 1295 as holding two-thirds of a fee. (fn. 53)
Hugh de Sandford of Hook Norton (Oxon.), (fn. 54) died about 1233 leaving daughters and co-heirs, Christine widow of William de Sideham (fn. 55) and Agnes, and his two-thirds of the knight's fee and manor, or part of the estate, for some centuries descended in two parts. Christine afterwards married John de Plessis (afterwards Earl of Warwick, in right of his second wife), (fn. 56) and Agnes, her younger sister, receiving licence in 1234 to marry whom she would, married Matthew Hussey of Harting and Pulborough, Sussex. (fn. 57) John de Plessis and Matthew Hussey shared this estate about 1240. (fn. 58)
Plessis. Argent six rings gules.
The Earl of Warwick was succeeded in 1263 by his son and heir Hugh de Plessis of Hook Norton, (fn. 59) who made various settlements. (fn. 60) He died in 1292, leaving a son and heir Hugh, summoned to Parliament as a baron in 1299. (fn. 61) His son Hugh succeeded in 1300–1, (fn. 62) and was returned as sole lord of the vill in 1316 (fn. 63); he came of age in 1317. (fn. 64) His son Hugh, aged seventeen, succeeded in 1337 (fn. 65) and died between 1351 and 1357, (fn. 66) when his heir was his sister Eleanor wife of John Lenneysey. Their mother Millicent, who became wife of Richard de Stonleigh, had the estate as dower, survived Eleanor, and died in 1360, the remainder having been settled first on Hugh's widow Elizabeth, now wife of Roger de Elmebrugge, and her husband for her life and afterwards on John Lenneysey for life, with remainder in tail to John's son John and Joan daughter of Thomas de Missenden, to whom the younger John was probably already married by November of that year. (fn. 67) John Lenneysey the elder granted his interest to Thomas de Missenden and Isabel his wife, and died in 1361, when his son John was aged nine. (fn. 68) The manor was entailed in 1374. (fn. 69) John was knighted, and died seised in 1379, when his kinsman Sir John Cheney of Isenhampstead was his heir, (fn. 70) but in 1380 the estate was said to belong to Amy aunt and heir of Sir John de Plessis and wife of James del Beele, a merchant of Lucca. (fn. 71) Sir John Lenneysey's widow Elizabeth (fn. 72) presumably married Philip la Vache, for they held the manor for her life with reversion to Amy, who in the spring of 1381 granted it to Sir Hugh de Segrave, kt. (fn. 73) In 1381 he, Philip and Elizabeth sold it to William of Wykeham. (fn. 74) In 1382 Amy and her husband Geoffrey Kyndusley (fn. 75) and Sir Hugh de Segrave (fn. 76) quitclaimed the manor to Winchester College, Oxford, William of Wykeham's foundation. The college acquired other estates here, and in 1391, with the assent of the founder, conveyed all its manors of West Wittenham to John Sende. (fn. 77) In 1428 William Felice held all the Sandford lands here. (fn. 78) This may have been the manor held in 1517 by Sir John Cradock, (fn. 79) but its further descent has not been traced.
Yet another holding, subsequently called a manor, must have been part of the Plessis fee. Hugh de Plessis gave land to his daughter Margaret during the reign of Edward I, and she married William de Barforth (Bereford) and left a son Edmund and three daughters. (fn. 80) Edmund died seised of tenements, including a passage over the Thames and a fishery therein, in 1354, when his heirs were his sisters Joan wife of Sir Gilbert de Elsfield, kt., (fn. 81) Margaret wife of Sir James de Audley, kt., and Agnes wife of John Mautravers, (fn. 82) both Edmund's sons, John and Baldwin, being illegitimate. (fn. 83) In 1362 John Mautravers and Alice, Gilbert de Elsfield son of Joan, and William de Audley son of Margaret called Baldwin de Barforth to warrant to them lands here which Eva widow of John de Barforth, then wife of John Roklee, claimed as dower. (fn. 84) In 1397 William Elsfield, son of Gilbert, (fn. 85) leased all his lands here to Thomas Barentyne, (fn. 86) as did Thomasine his widow in 1399 to Joan widow of Thomas Barentyne and Edmund Hamden. (fn. 87) In 1401 Sir Baldwin de Barforth, kt., quitclaimed all right in the manor to Drew Barentyne, (fn. 88) to whom Sir Philip Seyntclere, kt., Sir lvo Fitz Waryn, kt., and Maud his wife, Sir Baldwin Seyntgeorge, kt., and the co-heirs of William Elsfield, viz., John Hore and Joan his wife, and Thomas Loundres and Joan (fn. 89) his wife, quitclaimed the manor in 1401. (fn. 90) It was then settled by Drew Barentyne and others on Sir Baldwin de Barforth and Elizabeth his wife in fee, with remainder to John Hore and Joan his wife in fee. (fn. 91) Some subsequent arrangement must have been made for it was not delivered to John Hore with the manor of Wishaw, co. Warwick, in 1423. (fn. 92) Drew Barentyne died in 1453 seised of the 'manor,' held jointly with his wife Joan and Christopher Preston and Elizabeth his wife, Joan and Elizabeth being daughters and heirs of John Drayton. He left a son and heir John. (fn. 93) Elizabeth afterwards married John Wenlock, who became Lord Wenlock in 1461, and the whole estate was settled on them in 1463, (fn. 94) John Barentyne having apparently given up his claim. In March 1465–6 Lord Wenlock sold the manor to Alice Duchess of Suffolk, (fn. 95) who died in 1475, having bequeathed it to her son John Duke of Suffolk. (fn. 96) It has ever since descended with Fyfield (q.v.), (fn. 97) and is now the property of St. John's College, Oxford. It seems doubtful whether the whole of the Barforths' estate passed to Lord Wenlock, for in 1562 William Pudsey alias Bartelet and Henry Lisley conveyed a 'manor' here to George Pudsey, (fn. 98) and the Pudseys were descended from the Barforths and Hores of Elsfield. (fn. 99)
Matthew Hussey, who held the second half of Hugh de Sandford's fee, died in or before February 1252–3, leaving a son and heir Henry, aged thirteen. (fn. 100) He probably subenfeoffed Robert de Sandford, who was holding his land here of Henry Hussey in 1283–4, (fn. 101) the Husseys from that time having only a rent. This rent followed the descent of their manor in South Moreton (q.v.), of which it seems to have been part until 1690 or later, (fn. 102) and was perhaps the rent conveyed by Matthew Tuder and Lucy his wife to St. John's College, Oxford, in 1764. (fn. 103)
Robert de Sandford, tenant with John de Plessis, Matthew Hussey and William de St. Helen of the Giffard knight's fee here about 1240, (fn. 104) afterwards acquired Matthew's share, as shown above, and a Robert de Sandford held in 1283–4. (fn. 105) In 1304 Alice de Sandford, Robert's sister, who was apparently his heir, sold tenements here to Alice widow of Robert de Sandford, Robert de Louches (Luches, Lowches), John his son and the heirs of John. (fn. 106) In 1363 John Louches of Garsington, which is close to Sandford in Oxfordshire, sold the manor of LOUCHES PLACE to Hugh de Segrave. (fn. 107) Hugh conveyed it with the manor of the Douncourt to Winchester College, Oxford, (fn. 108) and from that time it probably followed the descent (fn. 109) of that part of the manor which had belonged to the Plessis.
A holding known as LOCK'S MANOR was held of the honour of Lancaster. (fn. 110) A Richard Lock (Lok, Loc, Lockes) of Wittenham was dead by 1202, when his wife Lettice de Clifton obtained dower. (fn. 111) The family is described as of East Wittenham in the early 14th century. (fn. 112) Robert Lock and Julian his wife conveyed land in East Wittenham to John son of Thomas le Mouner in 1293, (fn. 113) and in 1355 Philip Lock and Joan his wife and Christine Lock conveyed two parts of one-third of the manor of West Wittenham to John de Morton of London, clerk, and Maud his wife, (fn. 114) who in the spring of 1362 conveyed the same to Hugh de Segrave. (fn. 115) He enfeoffed William of Wykeham of the whole manor of West Wittenham which had belonged to John Lock, (fn. 116) and it was granted to Winchester College. (fn. 117) In 1428 all the lands which had belonged to Roger Hilary (Illary) and John Lock were in the tenure of William Felice, (fn. 118) and from this time the estate probably followed the descent of the Plessis' manor.
Nutley Abbey, Buckinghamshire, received half a mark yearly in the 14th century from land in Wittenham granted it by the founder, Walter Giffard and Ermingard his wife. (fn. 119) This seems to have been the 3 carucates held by the abbey about 1220 (fn. 120) in East Wittenham. In 1241–5 Geoffrey de Clifton and Robert de Swynebrok held 2 hides of the abbot in Earl's Wittenham, (fn. 121) and in 1283–4 the abbot claimed view of frankpledge and amendment of the assize of bread and ale from the time of Richard I. (fn. 122) The only further mention found of Nutley Abbey here is in 1461, when the Staffords' portion of the manor was said to be held of the abbey. (fn. 123)
The church of ST. MARY THE VIRGIN, sometimes known as ST. PETER, consists of a chancel 24 ft. 6 in. by 12 ft., nave 57 ft. 6 in. by 19 ft. 3 in. with north aisle 43 ft. 6 in. by 9 ft. 6 in., south aisle 6 ft. 6 in. wide, south transpect 14 ft. 6 in. by 21 ft. 6 in., west tower 10 ft. square and south porch. The measurements are all internal.
The nave of the present church with the chancel arch belongs to a building of early 12th-century date. In the 13th century the south arcade was built and the south aisle added; the chancel appears to have been rebuilt or lengthened about the same time, and at the end of the century, about 1300, the south transept was added. In the 14th century the north aisle and arcade were built and the south porch added, and in the 15th century the west tower was added. Early in the 16th century the nave clearstory was built and the roof is of the same date. The church was restored in 1850, when the chancel was entirely rebuilt, most of the windows being reinstated in their original positions.
The chancel has a modern east window, and in the north wall are three windows; the first is a 13thcentury lancet, the second a round-headed single light of the 12th century, and the third a late 13th-century window of two lights with a segmental pointed rear arch springing from two heads. In the south wall the first two windows are 13th-century lancets, and between them is a trefoil-headed piscina of the same date. In the sill of the first window are two piscina drains. Further west are a 14th-century priest's doorway and a two-light window, also of the 14th century. The early 12th-century chancel arch is recessed in two plain orders on the nave side, the outer resting on side shafts with carved capitals, now much defaced. The abacus is carried round the inner order as an impost and along the face of the wall as a string.
The nave has a 14th-century north arcade of three bays with octagonal piers and semi-octagonal responds with moulded bases and capitals; the pointed arches are of two chamfered orders. Cut in the east respond is a trefoil-headed niche on the north side, for a light, and on the same side is a pillar piscina with a moulded capital and base. The south arcade, of about 1230, is of four bays, with circular columns having foliated capitals and round moulded bases resting on square plinths; the foliage is boldly carved and differs in each capital. The east respond is very deep and is pierced by a segmental pointed arch, probably for a tomb, and has a label on the south face. The pointed arches are of two chamfered orders. The early 16th-century clearstory has three windows irregularly spaced on each side, all square-headed and of two plain lights, with oak lintels internally. The roof of the same period is low-pitched, with moulded tie-beams, wall posts and curved braces with quatrefoil spandrels; above the tie-beams are pierced cusped panels. The 14th-century north aisle has a squareheaded 15th-century east window of three lights. The two windows in the north wall are pointed and of three and two lights respectively. Between them is the 14th-century north doorway, which is moulded and pointed and has a segmental pointed rear arch. The west window of the same date is similar to the twolight window in the north wall. The south aisle, known as St. Thomas' aisle, is apparently of the 13th century, but the walls were heightened in the 14th century to receive larger windows. In the east wall is a 14th-century twolight window. The south doorway is pointed and of the same date, and further west are two uniform windows of two lights of 14th-century date. The flat aisle roofs have been restored. The south chapel or transept, built about 1300, has a three-light traceried window with a pointed head in the south wall. Below it is a remarkable piscina with a moulded and trefoiled head; at the head are two carved angels, probably originally with censers. In front of the quatrefoil drain is a recumbent armed and crosslegged figure in high relief; he wears a long surcoat and mail and holds an upright drawn sword in the right hand, and on the same arm is a shield. The work is of about 1300. The 14thcentury east window is square-headed and of two lights. The trussed rafter roof is ceiled and has heavy timbering across the entrance to the transept.
The 15th-century west tower is of three stages with a late embattled parapet. The tower arch is pointed and of two continuous chamfered orders, and the west window is pointed and of two lights with modern tracery. The bell-chamber is lighted by a square-headed single-light window in each face. The timber south porch is a remarkable example of 14thcentury work; it has a plain pointed outer arch and ogee cusping to the barge-boards; each side has five open lights divided by circular oak shafts and having cusped heads.
Below the first window on the north of the north aisle is a 14th-century tomb recess with a moulded segmental arch. In the south aisle is a tablet to Elizabeth wife of Richard Jennens (d. 1676), with a shield, a cheveron with three stars thereon between three fleurs de lis. At the east end of the aisle is a stone coffin-lid with a defaced floreated cross. The western window on the north of the chancel is filled with fine white grisialle glass with black foliage of vine-leaf type. The 12th-century window also contains grisaille glass with a three-leaf design in each quarry. In the first window on the south of the south aisle are some fragments of 14th-century glass, and two roundels of the same date remain in the east window of the transept.
The Jacobean pulpit is semi-octagonal with carved panels round the top, and the panelled parish chest is of the same period. Some old oak benches remain in the nave. Across the entrance to the transept is the handsome early 17th-century screen formerly in the ante-chapel of Exeter College, Oxford. The doorway is towards the west end, and to the north of it are four bays with open round-headed arches divided by Ionic pilasters enriched with strapwork. The spandrels have well-carved cherubs, and the lower part of the openings is filled with pierced strapwork panels. The arch of the doorway has strap ornament, and in the spandrels are two shields, a bend between six trefoils with a molet for difference, the arms of George Hakewell, rector of Exeter 1642–9. The base is plainly panelled. The chancel stalls are also from Exeter College; the bench ends have poppy heads carved with grotesque figures.
Plan of Long Wittenham Church
The remarkable 12th or 13th-century lead font is circular, and rests on a round stone base; the lower part has a range of round arches, each containing a figure of an archbishop in relief; the upper part is divided into rectangular panels enriched with circular stamped designs. The font was formerly covered with an octagonal Jacobean oak casing with incised designs on each face, and had a pyramidal oak cover of similar character.
There are six bells, all by Lester & Pack of London, 1765. There is also a ting-tang hung in the west window of the bell-chamber.
The plate includes a cup and cover paten (London, 1576), the cup inscribed 'this plath belongeth to Long Wittenham,' and the paten inscribed 1577.
There are also a pewter flagon and plate bought, according to the churchwardens' accounts, in 1716; the flagon is inscribed 'this plate belongeth to Long Wittenham Church 1717.' The more recent plate comprises a chalice and paten of 1870, and two patens of 1869 and 1905, respectively.
The registers previous to 1812 are as follows: (i) baptisms 1577 to 1627, marriages 1561, to 1629, burials destroyed; (ii) baptisms and burials 1736 to 1779, marriages 1736 to 1753; (iii) marriages 1755 to 1776; (iv) baptisms and burials 1779 to 1812; (v) marriages 1776 to 1812.
The church of Long Wittenham (fn. 124) was granted by Walter Giffard the younger to the priory founded by his father at Newton Longville (fn. 125) in Buckinghamshire, a cell of the priory of Longueville Giffard in the diocese of Rouen. In 1320 the Prior of Longueville Giffard sold the advowson to Walter de Stapledon, Bishop of Exeter, who in 1322 gave it to his new foundation of Exeter College, Oxford, (fn. 126) ever since patron. (fn. 127)
The church was appropriated to the college under the authority of Edward II, given in 1322, and of Pope John XXII in 1333. (fn. 128) The Prior of Longueville, who was stated in 1291 to have a pension of £5 in the church, (fn. 129) had vainly claimed the appropriation, and in 1292 his agent was excommunicated by the Bishop of Salisbury for seizing the tithes belonging to the rector. In 1320, considering the distance and difficulty of collection of his portion he had surrendered it to the rector. The Bishop of Salisbury only confirmed the appropriation to Exeter College in 1355 on condition that two fellows should thenceforth be elected from his diocese, and the college was not finally inducted until 1355. (fn. 130) The Inclosure Award in 1309 assigned 190 acres to Exeter College in lieu of the great tithes and 124 acres to the vicar in lieu of the lesser tithes. (fn. 131) The vicarage was ordained in 1358. (fn. 132)
The Poor's land, containing 25 acres, was acquired under an inclosure award dated 18 June 1812. The land is let at £31 5s. yearly, which is applied in the distribution of coal in quantities of 8 cwt. to each recipient at Christmas.
By the same award a piece of ground containing 12. a.1 r. 20 p. in Dry Lays, and another piece, 1 r. 12 p. in Meadow Way, were allotted as public stone and gravel-pits. The first allotment is let at 10s. a year, which is carried to the account of the rural district council; the other allotment has been sold for £10, which sum is held by the council, subject to the direction of the Local Government Board. Another plot in Meadow Way, bounded by the River Isis, was awarded as a public watering-place for cattle and for washing sheep. It is now used as a wharf for landing stone and coals.
The National school was erected on a piece of land known as Bargus, given by the Rev. James Charles Clutterbuck by deed poll 16 August 1856.
'The Talbot Ebsworth Gift.' In 1886 Elizabeth Talbot, by will proved at London 2 January, bequeathed £66 13s. 4d. consols, in the names of the administering trustees, the annual dividends, amounting to £1 13s. 4d., to be applied (subject to the repair of the tombs of the testatrix's father and mother in the churchyard) in the distribution of bread to the poor at Christmas.

Q: Visual Basic SSRS - Deploy report with predefined data source credentials I am uploading programmatically a report on the server through the use of rs.exe and a visual basic file. When the user views the report, the server asks for credentials to log in to the Data Source.

Now, when I upload a report through Visual Studio, there is an option to use specific credentials that you can pre-set so the user is not prompted. I also notice that there is a setting in the report where you can define credentials.

My question is, how do I enable the use of specific data source credentials on uploading the report with Visual Basic so the user is not prompted for the data source credentials?
My VB code:
Public Sub Main()
    Try
        Dim definition As [Byte]() = Nothing
        Dim warnings As Warning() = Nothing
        Dim stream As FileStream = File.OpenRead(RDL_LOCATION)

        definition = New [Byte](stream.Length) {}
        stream.Read(definition, 0, CInt(stream.Length))
        warnings = rs.CreateReport(REPORT_NAME, "/" + REPORT_FOLDER, True, definition, Nothing)
        If Not (warnings Is Nothing) Then
            Dim warning As Warning
            For Each warning In warnings
                Console.WriteLine(warning.Message)
            Next warning
        Else
            AddPolicies("/" + REPORT_FOLDER + "/" + REPORT_NAME, "False")
            Console.WriteLine("Report: {0} PUBLISHED!", REPORT_NAME)
        End If
    Catch e As IOException

Looking for a weird and wonderful country property unlike any other? This family sure found one.
Hay wagons once drove throughthe oversized door of the Berberichstone barn and then out a matching door at the other end. The limestonefor the barn was quarried in nearbyStone City, Iowa.
Ruins of an old depot made fromlocal dolomite limestone sit on theBerberich acreage.
Stan and Debra Berberich did not plan to buy a new home and definitely not an 11-acre site with a historic 12,000-square-foot stone barn. But they did. Now the large barn, originally built as a stable to house draft horses, fits the family that includes seven adult children and 11 grandchildren.
Before buying the stone acreage near Stone City, Iowa, the Berberiches lived in an Arts and Crafts-era home in Cedar Rapids. On a lark, the family drew up an unrestricted list of ideal attributes in a home. When they showed it to a pesky realtor, they thought it "would get rid of him fast," says Debra.
The list included Debra's wish for an indoor basketball court, Stan's statement that he never wanted to own another wood-frame home that had to be painted, and youngest daughter Sarah's desire for a creek where she could catch "funny" things.
After the realtor read the list, he told Debra she had to be kidding, but she assured him she was not. Much to her surprise, the realtor returned to their doorstep early the following morning with a brand-new listing and a photo of the stone barn clutched in his hand.
When Debra opened the front door, he told her, "I don't know what there is about you lady, but there you go -- indoor basketball!"

Q: Enable versioning for a bucket While trying to enable versioning for the bucket:
$r = $s3Client->putBucketVersioning(array(
            'Bucket' => 'test-bucket-pcloud',
            'Status' => 'Enabled'
));

I get InvalidArgumentException. What could be the reason for it? Do I also need to supply the other 2 arguments as listed here? I am not really clear what role does MFA and MFADelete play.

A: Yes, you also need to supply the MFADelete and Status arguments.
MFA Delete is a way of preventing objects from being deleted from Amazon S3 unless a multi-factor authentication code is provided.
For your situation, use: 'MFADelete' => 'Disabled', 'Status' => 'Enabled'

New Club Hopes to Spark Conversation about Gender Roles at Colgate
Jonathan Santiago, Class of 2018
The club Men at Colgate has made a return to the campus this year. This group, which began in April 1998, includes a variety of male students from different backgrounds and experiences. This diversity lends plenty of interesting perspectives to the topics of conversation.
"The mission is to foster a more positive and inclusive concept of gender norms and to proactively address gender-based violence and sexual assault. The vision is to promote a more accessible conversation about these issues across groups at Colgate through allyship" Director of Shaw Wellness Institute Thad Mantaro said.
Students had a variety of reasons for joining the club.
"I helped revitalize and reorganize Men at Colgate in attempt to create a space where men could discuss gender norms," senior club leader Nick Yannopoulos said. "I attended a few forums and discussions that were primarily run by women. While I certainly respect these individuals and learned a great deal thanks to their efforts, there appears a need for additional male leadership to address the sexual climate at Colgate."
"Gender programs are geared towards preventing sexual assault," senior Matt Carter said. "I think we should continue the topic past that."
The club has begun to think through male stereotypes and now asks the hard questions about how the campus can change them.
According to Associate Vice President and Dean of the Students Scott Brown, the resurrected club differs in that it is primarily a student initiative.
"I think the basic issues are the same," Brown said. "A lot of men want to look at what do gender roles look like on campus and what does it mean to be a man on campus? With the previous club, it was really led a lot by the administrators and not the students. The way this club is going, it's getting kick started by Mr. Mantaro, but it's getting shifted over so that students can take control of it."
The club is still working out events to promote conversation about masculinity and gender roles. Keep an eye out for movie screenings, brochures and events hosted by Men At Colgate. The club meets every Monday from 7-8 in the Shaw Wellness Center, and those interested can email [email protected] for more information.


If the decision has been made, or it is an inevitability like it or not, that your Company will be going into Liquidation this is a process you would much rather undertake with a level of control and pre-planning, rather than letting it get completely out of your hands.
If you are proceeding to the liquidation by choice, you need to get your ducks in a row ready for the handover to the Liquidator so that you have the tax consequences addressed, ownership and control of Company assets you wish to retain transferred beforehand and of course to reduce the cost of the liquidation itself.
While there is less you can do if you are proceeding to liquidation because the Company is failing, there are still preparations that should be made. Small things like ownership and control of phone numbers, emails can all of a sudden become big problems if not addressed in advance.
Bigger items like access to your business premises, personal or other entity assets held with or otherwise intermingled with Company assets could become caught by the Liquidator's net.
And then, of course, there is the issue of personal guarantees, director liabilities and related party loans. You don't want surprises, because one the Liquidator takes control, they will be working for your Creditors, not for you, and you want to minimise the impact on your personal wealth, your other business and investments interest, and your life in general.
So please, don't put your head in the sand, and don't just take the easy option of washing your hands and attempting to walk away. Because very often it simply can't work that way and instead this could become an ongoing saga like you never considered.

El Ele was een Vlaamse vrouwenorganisatie ter ondersteuning van Turkse migranten in Gent. Die bestond van 1982 tot 2008.

De vrouwenorganisatie El Ele (Turks voor hand in hand) ontstond in het Rabot en de Brugse Poort. En was mede opgericht door Agnes van Camp die deur aan deur ging als onderwijzer om taallessen, rijlessen, sollicitatietraining en naailessen aan Turkse vrouwen te geven. De organisatie startte een aantal gesubsidieerde projecten zoals 'speldenprik' , 'ouder worden in Vlaanderen' en een drugswerkgroep opgericht voor moeders.

Geschiedenis
In 1984 kreeg de organisatie voor het eerst financiële steun van de Vlaamse overheid. In 1985 werd El Ele een VZW met een bestuur van Turkse en Marokkaanse vrouwen. De organisatie kreeg vervolgens in datzelfde jaar een eigen lokaal toegewezen in de Elsstraat.

Langzamerhand breide de doelgroep van de organisatie zich uit tot Arabisch sprekende vrouwen uit de wijk. In 1990 werd de organisatie erkend als officieel integratiecentrum. De vier Gentse Lokale Integratiecentra (LIC) fuseerden in 1998. Dit samenwerkingsverband verliet El Ele (toen ook bekend als steunpunt Gent west) in 2004. Hierdoor verloor de organisatie toegang tot financiële middelen. In 2007 ontstond er bij het Europees Sociaal Fonds (ESF) een meningsverschil over de uitgaven van El Ele. ESF eiste hierdoor een grote som geld terug. De organisatie ging failliet en stopte in 31 december 2008.

Russia's Aeroflot Carrier Suspends Ticket Sales to Turkey
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Moscow sees security of Russians stranded in Turkey as its top priority and will keep in touch with them and the Turkish authorities, the spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry told Sputnik.
A number of Russian nationals have been stranded in the Turkish airports after the airspace over the region of the Sea of Marmara in the north-western part of Turkey had been closed for civil aviation in the wake of late Friday's failed coup attempt in the country. Later, Russia's Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsia) suspended air traffic to Turkey.
"The top priority now is to stay in touch with Russians who could not fly out of Turkey in time and are blocked there," Foreign Ministry's Maria Zakharova said in an interview.
She said the next top issue on the agenda was "working with the Turkish side to provide security to Russian nationals that remain in the Turkish territory."

How Attempted Coup in Turkey Could Impact Russian, US Efforts in Syria
Meanwhile no Russians appear to have been killed or wounded in the aftermath of the failed military putsch in Turkey last week, according to Zakharova.
"Information dating back to July 19 shows that there were no Russians hurt as a result of the coup attempt in Turkey. But we are keeping in touch with the Turkish side on this issue," Zakharova said.
According to the ministry, some Russian nationals remain stranded in Turkey after Russia's Federal Air Transport Agency suspended flights into the country amid concerns over Turkish volatility.
The attempted military takeover created volatility in the country. Earlier on Wednesday, Russia's flag-carrier Aeroflot suspended ticket sales to Turkey for Russians and revised its flight schedule.

On 30th May NYX Gaming a publicly listed award winning game provider who has its headquarters in Las Vegas Nevada, release its first quarter financial review to its shareholders and the news are excellent as the company announced a $16.8 million (CAD) profits after EBITDA. As you probably know the company saw a fair share of movement in 2016 after being acquired by the Amaya group and we were longing to hear the financial results of early 2017 after the company's drastic strategic changes.
Following the news Matt Davey, CEO of NYX Gaming Group commented: "Our customer development pipeline remains strong, and we are focused on profitable growth through our product-led strategy with targeted R&D investment in sportsbook, gaming, and content technologies."
What does this growth mean for the end user?
With such an impressive profit margin in early 2017, we anticipate that NYX Gaming will be reinvesting a large part of it in the end user. So, it would be fair to assume that NYX will be looking at integrating even more independent game studios to OGS (Open Gaming System) which facilitate the distribution of multi-vendor casino content around the world. As gamification is a hot topic in the online gaming industry these days we also predict that NYX will soon be releasing an in-game gratification tool which will enable casino operators to reward their players for their achievement, very much like the tool released by Yggdrasil Gaming and QuickSpin earlier this year.
We also predict that NYX will possibly venture in more regulated markets and capitalise on their recent EGR awards wins of Casino Platform Supplier and Best Platform Supplier of the year for North America.
In the same press release, NYX Gaming has confirmed that 28 operators have yet to be integrated and that soon their games will be available in even more casinos. NYX game portfolio currently contains over 2,000 different game titles which can be found at InstaCasino, ShadowBet and Casumo to name a few.

Letter of Concern and Support Regarding the Cluster of Excellence "Normative Ordnungen"
Jürgen Habermas has signed a "Letter of Concern and Support Regarding the Cluster of Excellence "Normative Ordnungen" of the University of Frankfurt" (November 14, 2017).
The letter has been signed by Seyla Benhabib, Charles Larmore, Nancy Fraser, Robert Goodin, David Held, Jane Mansbridge, Jeff McMahan, Philip Pettit, Thomas Scanlon, Charles Taylor et.al.
Compromise and Disagreement in Contemporary Political Theory provides a critical discussion of when and to what extent compromise is the best response to pluralism and disagreement in democratic decision-making and beyond. Christian F. Rostbøll and Theresa Scavenius draw together the work of ten established and emerging scholars to provide different perspectives on compromise. Organized into four parts, the book begins by discussing the justification and limits of compromise. Part 2 discusses the practice of compromise and considers the ethics required for compromise as well as the institutions that facilitate compromise. Part 3 focuses on pluralism and connects the topic of compromise to current discussions in political theory on public reason, political liberalism, and respect for diversity. Part 4 discusses different challenges to compromise in the context of the current political environment.
Christian F. Rostbøll is Professor of Political Science at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. He is the author of "Deliberative Freedom" (SUNY Press, 2008).
Theresa Scavenius is a Associate Professor in the Department of Planning, University of Aalborg Copenhagen, Denmark.
This edited collection examines the relationship between three central terms — capitalism, feminism, and critique — while critically celebrating the work and life of a thinker who has done the most to address this nexus: Nancy Fraser. In honor of her seventieth birthday, and in the spirit of her work in the tradition of critical theory, this collection brings together scholars from different disciplines and theoretical approaches to address this conjunction and evaluate Fraser's lifelong contributions to theorizing it. Scholars from philosophy, political science, sociology, gender studies, race theory and economics come together to think through the vicissitudes of capitalism and feminism while also responding to different elements of Nancy Fraser's work, which weaves together a strong feminist standpoint with a vibrant and complex critique of capitalism.
