Sukhothai, Thailand is a small town 427 km north of Bangkok which was once the capital of the first Thai kingdom. For tourists, the main attraction in town is the ruins of the ancient city of Sukhothai (or สุโขทัย in the Thai script, which was, incidentally, invented in Sukhothai).
The ancient city centre — now known as Sukhothai Historical Park — is 12 km east of the modern city and it is filled with stunning temples that evoke a bygone era.
Even if you're not interested in their historical or religious value, the temples at Sukhothai are remarkably beautiful.
The kingdom was established in approximately 1238 by Phokhun Si Intharathit, the founder of the Phra Ruang dynasty.
The city's name translates as "the dawn of happiness" and for just over a century, Sukhothai retained its power and its ability to make the local power-brokers very happy. In the late 14th century, the kingdom of Ayutthaya to the south took over power in the region and the sun set on Sukhothai's happy era.
But now, hundreds of years later, people come from all over the world to see the remains of the grand temples that once stood here.

Practical Information for Visiting Sukhothai
What Areas of Sukhothai Should You See?
Sukhothai Historical Park is divided into five main areas. The Central Zone sits inside the ancient city walls and is where you'll find most of the sites to visit. The Northern Zone has the second most popular temple, so you'll want to make time to visit it as well.
This structure is called a chedi or a stupa, which would once have held religious relics.
And for the adventurous traveller, there is a nice hike up a hillside in the Western Zone that leads to incredible views from the hilltop temple there.
If you don't have a lot of time to visit Sukhothai, we recommend focusing your trip on the Central Zone. This will allow you to see most of the famous sites in Sukhothai. Within the Central Zone are the remains of the royal palace and a whopping twenty-six temples.
This Central Zone is walkable, so you can explore the area without a bicycle or guide, although a bicycle will allow you to zip around more quickly and keep a little cooler while viewing temples under the hot Thai sun.
What's the Best Time to Visit Sukhothai Historical Park?
Mindful travellers and yogis will enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of these Buddhist temples.
It gets very hot during the day in Thailand, so it is best plan for an early morning visit. Even if you plan to leave early, make sure you bring a sunhat, sunscreen, and lots of water (in your refillable water bottle, of course).
Sunrise is a great time to photograph the hundreds of Buddha statues and dozens of stunning temples. The orange glow of magic hour makes them even more magical. The sun rises between 6am and 7am depending on the time of year, so it does make an early start to your day.
On Saturday night, the park stays open until 9pm and the temples in the Central Zone are illuminated with colourful lights, so you can get some great pictures then as well. Plus, it's a whole lot cooler to walk around the park after dark.
Confirming the exact opening times of the park is challenge as they seem to change without notice.
But, roughly, the Central Zone opens from 6:30am to 6pm, except Saturdays, when it stays open until 9pm. The Northern Zone closes at 5:30pm daily and the Western Zone has slightly shorter hours, open daily from 8am–4:30pm.
Understand the Language of Ancient Temples
If you understand some of the architectural terms related to this era of temple, your visit to Sukhothai will be much more interesting. It's good to familiarize yourself with some of the key terms before heading out into the hot Thai sun, which will bake your brain and leave you unable to learn anything new.
Wat. In casual usage, the word wat refers to any Buddhist temple.
Stupa. A dome-shaped structure used to house religious relics.
Chedi. Another word for stupa, especially used in Thailand.
Prang. A richly carved tower-like structure, only found in the most important Buddhist temples.
Mandapa. A pillared open-air hall, usually found in Hindu temples.
Stucco. A material used as a decorative coating, can be made into intricate designs applied to walls and ceilings.
Khmer. Ancient (11th Century) kingdom in the Mekong valley.
Top Temples You Should See in Sukhothai
For fans of temples and ruins, Central Thailand provides an abundance.
The three most impressive temples in the Central Zone are Wat Mahathat, Wat Si Sawai, and Wat Sa Si.
Wat Mahathat (also known as Wat Maha That and Mahathat Temple) is the most important temple in all of Sukhothai Historical Park, because it is said to house authentic Buddha relics. It is not only the epicentre and spiritual centre of the park, but was also the centre of the entire Sukhothai Kingdom.
The temple was built between 1292 and 1347, and its construction was overseen by Sri Indraditya.
The main chedi (conical tower also known as a stupa) has the shape of a lotus bud and was built to enshrine the relics of the Buddha. Its base is adorned with 168 carvings of Buddhist disciples walking with their hands clasped together in salutation.
It is surrounded by 8 smaller chedi. The 4 corners are in Mon Haripunchai-Lanna style and the 4 have a Khmer influence. The temple also includes an assembly hall, ordination hall, and 200 smaller chedi.
To capture the most iconic photos of the temple, head to the eastern side for an incredible view of the giant seated Buddha behind rows of half-collapsed columns.
Wat Si Sawai
This temple (also sometimes spelled Wat Sri Sawai) stands out in Sukhothai for its 3 distinct Khmer-style prangs (towers) reminiscent of Angkor Wat in Cambodia. The towers are surrounded by a double rampart and a moat. It is one of the oldest temples in Sukhothai, constructed in the late 12th or early 13th century.
Like Angkor Wat, Wat Si Sawai was originally a Hindu temple constructed by the Khmer people before it was converted to a Buddhist shrine during the Sukhothai period. Si Sawai was originally dedicate to Lord Vishnu, with the 3 prangs each dedicated to one of the Hindu trinity of Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu.
The temple is a short walk away from Wat Mahathat and close to the southern gate of the old city walls.
Wat Sa Si
Just north of Wat Mahathat is Wat Sa Si. It is set in the middle of a reservoir (called Traphong Trakruano) and to get to the temple you have to cross a wooden footbridge. It is a simple temple but a stunning setting.
You'll definitely want a picture of the footbridge, reservoir, and the temple with a Buddha statue sitting in front of it.
Wat Traphong Tong
This is the only working temple in the Old Sukhothai area. The Traphong Tong ("golden pond") reservoir separates the museum from the temple.
Loi Krathong is a national Siamese festival celebrated each year. It's on the full moon of the 12th month in the traditional Thai lunar calendar. During the festival, traditional krathong (decorated floating baskets) are filled with flowers, a bit of food, and a candle, and then floated on a river.
Not only is Wat Traphong Tong central to the Loy Krathong celebrations that take place in Sukhothai, but it is said the festival began here on the golden pond!
As well as laying claim to the origins of Loy Krathong, the temple is famous for a stone sculpture of the Buddha's footprint which dates back to 1359.
Wat Trapang Thong Lang
This temple has 3 intricate stucco relief images of the Buddha performing miracles.
These reliefs can be found on the outer mandapa (a pillared hall) walls, which is easy to find as it is the only structure left standing on the temple grounds. Many of the relief images have been lost to time but the structure still retains its mystical beauty.
Wat Phra Pai Luang
Wat Phra Pai Luang sits on the original spot where the Sukhothai Kingdom was founded. The temple is a mix of Khmer and Lopburi architecture and dates back to the early 13th century.
All but one of the 3 centrepiece Khmer prangs have collapsed, but the remaining tower retains some elaborate stucco decorations, which was an art unique to Sukhothai's craftsmen.
Northern Zone
Crumbling but still divine, Sukhothai Historical Park.
The Northern Zone is home to a giant "talking" Buddha at Wat Si Chum. It is the main attraction outside the Central Zone.
Wat Si Chum
Also know as Wat Sri Chum, this temple is famous for its giant (15 m high) seated Buddha with golden fingers known as the talking Buddha. This is one of the most famous Buddha statues in the world.
The legend says that King Naresuan (1555–1605) had one of his minions climb the passage that leads up to the Buddha's head and give a speech to the gathered army to encourage them in their upcoming battle against the Burmese.
The walls of the mandapa that houses the Buddha feature the oldest murals in the country, but sadly most of these are no longer visible.
Because this temple is small, it can get quite busy, so you may want to start your visit here.
Wat Phra Phai Luang
Wat Phra Phai Luang has a Khmer-style prang. This type of prang always looks great in pictures. There is also has a large assembly hall, which would have once had a roof, but now sits roofless.
Luang Pho Petch
Located near Wat Si Chum, this is a very small temple (also known as Luang Po Ta Petch). It is noteworthy for its Buddha statue with diamond eyes. Rumour has it the original diamonds have been replaced with cut glass so that they can't be stolen.
The temple is just south of Wat Si Chum along the main road and is hidden behind trees at the corner of a courtyard. You'll probably spot a few monks sitting around and that's how you know you're in the right spot. You'll need to ask a monk to give you access as the temple is locked.
Of course, the monk will want a small donation for the privilege of going inside. Somewhere between 20 and 100 baht is plenty!
Western Zone
Reflecting glory, Sukhothai Historical Park.
Most people come to Sukhothai for one day and most of those people never make it to the Western Zone. So, if you do head here, you will likely have the area all to yourself. The temples here are mostly ruins but are set in the countryside with no traffic. If you're riding a bicycle around it's a pretty special spot.
Wat Saphan Hin
The name Saphan Hin translates as stone bridge and there are well preserved remains of the slate stone path that leads all the way from the bottom of the road to the top of the hill. This same path was walked by former kings of Sukhothai on pilgrimage to the temple.
The main temple has collapsed, which leaves the 12 m tall standing Buddha as the main attraction here. Apart from the views, that is! The hill sits 200 m above the surrounding plain, so if you do visit this temple you'll be rewarded with views over the Thai countryside.
Access the temple by climbing up the steep hill — you'll need to park your bike and make the climb on foot. It can be quite hard going in the heat but it is totally worth it for the views.
Eastern Zone
Statues in relief, Sukhothai Historical Park.
Wat Chang Lom
This is probably the most noteworthy temple in the Eastern Zone. It has a chedi supported by several elephants. Not real ones! Don't be silly. They're sculpted into the base of the chedi.
Southern Zone
Wat Chetupon
While not much is left standing at this temple, the remains are still impressive. There is a large square-based mandapa with some remaining stucco images of Buddha sitting, standing, walking, and reclining on the walls.
The Best Way to See Sukhothai Historical Park
Renting a bike is great way to see more of Sukhothai's less-visited temples.
The best way to get around Sukhothai is on a bicycle.
All the hotels we recommend below will sort you out with a bicycle for either a small fee or no extra charge. Definitely take advantage of this as it can be very hot during the day, and making your own breeze will cool off as you move between temples.
Please note there is a small additional fee to enter each section of the site if you have a bicycle. See all pricing information below.
If you like bikes, check out the Grasshopper Adventures bicycle tour from Bangkok to Chiang Mai that stops in Sukhothai, Thailand.
What To Wear and How To Behave in Sukhothai, Thailand
This fella followed us for about half an hour at Sukhothai Historical Park.
Although the temples at Sukhothai Historical Park are ruins, they are still Buddhist temples (and one, Wat Traphong Tong, near the museum, is still an active temple) so you need to dress appropriately.
Yes, you'll see lots of tourists who do not dress appropriately, but you don't have to be one of them!
Read our simple tips to visit the temples without offending anyone (while feeling superior to the improperly dressed tourists).
Cover your arms and legs. Bring a thin long-sleeved shirt, or light jacket, that you can put on before going into a temple. The easiest way to cover your legs is to bring a sarong and wear it whenever you are on temple property. It's always hot in Thailand, so you'll probably be cooler with a sarong than wearing long pants all day anyway.
Don't point at people or at Buddha. Pointing is considered rude in Thailand. Instead, you can gesture with your whole hand with your fingers together.
Hide your soles. You must remove your shoes before entering a working temple but also be sure that you don't show the soles of your feet in the temple (or anywhere). This is considered very rude in Thai culture.
Respect the Buddha statues. Of course, you should never climb on or sit next to a Buddha statue, nor should your rowdy gang of kids. Technically, you should never turn your back on the Buddha but that will be difficult in Sukhothai, where there are thousands of Buddha statues.
How Much Does it Cost to Visit Sukhothai Historical Park?
The pricing structure at Sukhothai Historical Park is fairly straightforward. Each of the three Zones in the park have an entrance fee of 100 baht (~$3 USD).
We have heard there is a combo ticket for 350 baht that includes access to all the zones but it can be tricky to find someone selling the combo deal. Ask at your hotel if you plan on seeing a lot of the area outside the Central Zone.
If you are exploring the ancient city by bicycle, there is an extra 10 baht charge per bike. This likely won't ruin your budget as it's only an extra $0.30 USD!
Things To Do in Sukhothai when You've Had Your Fill of Temples
The local Sukhothai night market is a great place to go when you get hungry from seeing all those temples!
Ramkhamhaeng National Museum
Close to the main entrance to Sukhothai Historical Park, the Ramkhamhaneg National Museum makes interesting stop if you're into history and are spending at least a few days in Sukhothai. Otherwise we'd recommend spending your time wandering around the park.
The museum is home to archaeological treasures from the Sukhothai Historical Park including stucco reliefs, images of Buddha, ceramics, and Hindu bronze deities. The museum is open daily from 9am to 4pm. Entry fee is 150 baht (~$4.70 USD).
The Royal Palace
At Noen Parast (aka Palace Hill) you can view the remains of the royal palace of the Kingdom of Sukhothai. Noen Prasat was discovered in 1833.
Lak Muang City Pillar
Lak Muang City Pillar is a small shrine which is easy to miss. Each city has a city pillar (lak muang means city pillar) and as with most city pillars, Sukhothai's is is dressed with fresh garlands of flowers daily and has many figures placed at its base.
The city pillars are said to be the home of each city's spirit. While the pillar in Sukhothai may look old, the tradition wasn't started until the 18th century and this pillar likely dates from the early 20th century.
Statue of King Ram Khamhaeng
The monument to King Ram Khamhaeng is an important site where Thai people come to pay their respects to one of the most influential figures in Thai history.
He ruled the Sukhothai Kingdom from 1279–1298, during its most prosperous era, and he is credited for the creation of the Thai alphabet as well as establishing Theravada Buddhism as the state religion of Thailand.
The Sukhothai Historical Park Night Food Market
There is a pretty touristy night market in the Historical Park on the weekends, but the food is high quality as the chefs are specially selected to take part in this food market. Also it's usually not very busy since few tourists stay at the park until the evening.
The Sukhothai Saturday Night Market
If you're looking for an authentic Thai night market experience, you need to head into the new city of Sukhothai. There are a few smaller food markets around town, but the biggest night market happens every Saturday night. Find the road next to the Yom River and you can't miss the Sukhothai night market.
More than just a food market there is also a dance floor, often a public concert, and you're likely to find local kids busting a move. Most vendors have arrived by 5pm and it begins to shut down around 9pm.
Ramkhamhaeng National Park
If you're interested in nature, and have had enough of old temple ruins, we suggest you make your way to the 662-metre-high Khao Pha Narai peak in Ramkhamhaeng National Park. From the peak you can see views of Sukhothai city and another nearby city, Phitsanulok.
The park lies to the west and south of ancient Sukhothai roughly 20 km from the Central Zone, so you'll need to organize transportation.
If you're interested in visiting the park, we recommend you speak to the staff at your hotel to arrange a tuk tuk driver who can also act as a guide — ask for someone who has been to the park before and knows their way around.
How to Get to Sukhothai
VIP busses are the way to go if you're travelling Thailand on a budget.
Taking the Train to Sukhothai
There are no trains going directly to Sukhothai. You can travel by train from Bangkok to Phitsanulok (about 7 hours) and then take a local bus (#10) to Sukhothai, 59 km away (about 1 hour). You can take a tuk tuk instead of the bus, which should cost roughly 60 baht (~$2.00 USD).
Book your train tickets online using 12Go Asia, print the travel vouchers, and then exchange the vouchers for tickets at the train station.
Taking the Bus from Bangkok to Sukhothai
Air-conditioned busses depart from Bangkok's Northern Bus Terminal (Mo Chit 2) to Sukhothai daily between 9:45am and 10:20pm, departing with greater frequency in the morning. The journey takes 7 hours.
Check 12Go Asia for bus tickets, or contact private bus companies which operate daily bus services to Sukhothai, like Win Tour (Tel: 0 2936 3753 or 0 5561 1039) and Phitsanulok Yan Yon (Tel: 0 2936 2924-5, 0 5525 8647).
Taking the Bus from Chiang Mai to Sukhothai
From Chiang Mai there are ordinary/2nd class and air-conditioned busses that travel through Tak, (5.5 hours). Busses depart frequently between 7pm and 2am.
Taking the Train from Chiang Mai to Sukhothai
Fom Chiang Mai you take the train to Phitsanulok (5.5 hours). From Phitsanulok you then take a local bus (#10) to Sukhothai, 59 km away (1 hour). You can also take a tuk tuk, which should cost roughly 60 baht (~$2.00 USD).
You can book your train tickets online using 12Go Asia, print the travel vouchers, and then exchange the vouchers for tickets at the train station.
Flying to Sukhothai
There are flights between Bangkok and Sukhothai but we — humans, and travellers specifically — need to fly less if there is to be a world left to enjoy. So please don't fly to Sukhothai!
The buses are air-conditioned and comfortable, and Thai trains are a great travel experience. Also, Sukhothai Airport is about 40 km north of town, so it's still a journey to get to the temples once you land.
Where to stay in Sukhothai, Thailand
BaanSuk Sukhothai Resort strikes the right balance between comfortable and affordable.
There are so many temples to visit in Sukhothai that you may want to spend more than one day. We recommend staying in the old city if you can because the modern city of Sukhothai is 12 km from the Central Zone.
If you stay on Saturday night, you can experience the temples lighted up for a night visit. To experience a proper Thai night market you're going to have to head into the main town though, so that might be a deciding factor for you.
Resting Place Hostel
Rating 8.7, $12 double room, $9 dorm room bed
Just outside the Central Zone, Resting Place Hostel is a great choice for the budget-conscious traveller. You can get a bunk in a dorm room with shared bathrooms for $9 a night. There is air-conditioning in all rooms and breakfast costs $3 extra.
They don't provide bike rentals, but can direct you towards a bike rental spot very close to the hostel.

Space Ben Guest House @ Muangkao
Rating 9.2, $22 double room, breakfast included
Located just outside the Central Zone, this is an incredibly convenient spot for an affordable stay in Sukhothai. They provide a simple breakfast, but as with most hotel breakfasts, if you're vegan you'll probably want to supplement it with something more substantial.
The rooms are pretty simple but for this price who can complain? Guests love the lounge area and cleanliness of the guest house.
They charge a small fee for bicycle rental (30 baht/day).
BaanSuk Sukhothai Resort
Rating 9.8, $44 pool villa, breakfast included
People love it here so if your budget allows for you to splurge a little, check it out! Guests rave about the staff, the pool, and the breakfasts. They have hammocks to relax in, bathtubs in the rooms, and it is in a beautiful setting 2.3 km from the Central Zone.
They also provide free bicycle rental and they'll drive you to the bus station when you're leaving. Call ahead to get a free pick-up when you get to the bus station.

Sure, the American Revolution will always hold a prominent spot in Boston history, but a rich and booming comedy scene is leaving a lasting mark on this city, too. Comedians Louis CK, Mike Birbiglia and Conan O'Brien are natives of Beantown, and Boston is home to a slew of annual funny fests filling the comedy club showrooms. The Boston Comedy Festival is a nine-day showcase of the most promising, up-and-coming comedic talents, and the Women in Comedy Festival recently brought in headliners like the ever-hysterical Maria Bamford and Amy Sedaris. Laugh Boston is the city's newest addition to the stand-up circuit, acting as the only venue of its kind in town. In recent months, performers who are too popular for smaller venues like Nick's Comedy Stop, but too small to fill the 3,000 seat arenas, have been able to headline here and kick the comedy scene up a notch. Even if you aren't in town for a special event, stop by one of the following comedy clubs for an evening of laughs.
In the late evening on Friday and Saturday nights, this comedic club takes over the dance floor at Boston nightclub, Rumor, for a two-hour show of heart-pumping laughs. Talented mid-career comedians dominate the weekly calendar, like regular headliners Corey Manning, Danny Kelly, and Ray Harrington.
Brand new to the Seaport District, this state-of-the-art, 300-seat stand-up and sketch comedy theater attracts rising stars to perform in Boston, five nights a week. Boston Accents is a weekly draw for local legends Lenny Clarke, Tony V, Kenny Rogerson, and Don Gavin to show off their latest stuff on Wednesday night.
Eat, drink, and be merry below the Financial District's Howl at the Moon. Once a year, it hosts the Beantown Comedy Riot, New England's oldest and longest running amateur open mike competition. Also, here's a fun fact: Dane Cook headlined here every Friday for 2 years in the 90's.
It's not uncommon to find talent scouts from Comedy Central, PSNBC, and Conan O'Brien in the audience at The Comedy Study, searching for the next big laugh. Found on the third floor of Harvard Square's Hong Kong lounge, you can experience live hilarity for less than the price of a movie ticket. Stop by Tuesday night for the Mystery Lounge, a much-loved cabaret of comedian magicians.
The laughs bellow out of this comedy basement in the North End, an improv-sketch showroom where "Whose Line is it Anyway? meets Saturday Night Live! At the annual post-Christmas gift card swap, the Asylum will take any unwanted gift card, from any company, for any product, in exchange for tickets to an off-peak performance.

Q: Selecting entire variable with double click In PhpStorm, when you double click on a variable, say $_helloWorld, it just selects a part of the variable. For example, when you double click on World and it will select just that instead of the entire variable.
I want it to select the entire variable $_helloWorld when I double click on any part of it.
Does anyone know how to do it?

A: For Rider it's under
File > Settings > Editor > General > Typing Assistance

and then at the bottom the last checkbox:
Honor "CamelHumps" words settings when selecting on double click

should be turned off.

A: Please enable this option:
File | Settings | IDE settings | Editor | Smart keys | Use "CamelHumps" words.
And check if this one enabled:
File | Settings | IDE Settings | Editor | Honor "CamelHumps" word settings when selecting using double click.

A: For me, PhpStorm on Linux will only select entire variables on double click if I have the option:

File | Settings | Editor | General
Honor "CamelHumps" word settings when selecting using double click

turned off. See documentation here.

A: Super late answer, haha, but here is the exact option to enable selecting $ in variable names:

File | Settings | Editor | General | Smart Keys | Select variable name without '$' sign on double click

Should be disabled.

A: Using WebStorm on Windows 8.1 I was able to fix this by going to
File > Settings > [IDE Settings] > Editor

and disabling the following option:
Honor "CamelHumps" words settings when selecting on double click

A: For the folks who are using Mac, this is what you got to do:
Step 1: Select preferences option in PhpStorm Menu

Step 2: Once the window appears get the Smart Keys settings like so, which will be inside the following menu

Editor > General > Smart Keys

Step 3: Uncheck the checkbox next to Honor "CamelHumps" words settings when selecting on double click

Q: Constructing a 12VDC to 230VAC 1-phase inverter Can anyone help me check why the inverter circuit I built outputs only 165 V at no load instead of the proposed 230 V. It can't even light a bulb because of that. I tried adjusting values of filter capacitor but output remained low.
The inverter circuit and output voltage wave is attached.  I'm using a 12 V battery, Arduino Uno, IR2110, and a centre-tapped transformer. I notice that each time I switch on the inverter at no load, the battery terminal voltage drops from 13 V to 12.4 V. I think that voltage is still OK to get about 230 V at output.
Is my circuit and components I used OK? Please your suggestion will be highly welcome. Thanks.
NOTE: The scope trace is inverter output voltage which I  measured through a 230v/6v step-down transformer. I expected it to give 8.48v peak (equivalent to 6v RMS), but it rather gave about 6v peak.

A: I suspect that you are under-driving the low-voltage primary.
That 12-0-12 rating on the low-voltage side is the RMS value of the AC. The peak voltage, when used as a regular mains transformer, will be \$ 12\sqrt 2 \$. Since you are driving it with a peak of 12 V then the output could be expected to be \$ \frac {230}{\sqrt 2} = 162 \ \text V \$ which is very close to your reading.
You need to increase the turns ratio by \$ \sqrt 2 \$. An 8.5 - 0 - 8.5 transformer would be ideal.

Regency Romance (auch: Romantic Regency;  für "Regency-Liebesromanliteratur") ist ein Genre von Liebesromanen, deren Handlungen in der Epoche des britischen Regency (1811–1820) angesiedelt sind.

Regency-Liebesromane werden – wie die gesamte englischsprachige Romance-Literatur – der Trivialliteratur (formula fiction) zugerechnet. Jedoch handelt es sich nur bei einem Teil dieser Literatur um reine Kostümstücke; diese gelten auch nicht als Regency Romance im strengen Sinne, sondern fallen ins Subgenre der Historicals. Die traditionelle Regency Romance bildet vielmehr ein selbstständiges literarisches Genre mit charakteristischer Handlung und eigenen stilistischen Konventionen.

Literaturhistorischer Ausgangspunkt ist das Werk der britischen Bestsellerautorin Georgette Heyer (1902–1974), die von 1935 an zwei Dutzend Regency-Liebesromane publiziert hat. Die überwältigende Mehrzahl der auf Heyer folgenden Regency-Romane wurden jedoch von amerikanischen Autorinnen verfasst. Das Lesepublikum ist fast ausschließlich weiblich.

Geschichte
Als erster Regency-Liebesroman der Literaturgeschichte gilt Georgette Heyers 1935 publiziertes Werk Regency Buck, das allerdings gleichzeitig ein Kriminalroman war. Nachdem Heyers Werk in den 1960er Jahren in den USA populär wurde, haben amerikanische Verlage Autorinnen gefördert, die ähnliche Romane schrieben, darunter Clare Darcy und Elizabeth Mansfield. Ebenso wie Bodice-Ripper-Literatur wurde Regency Romance in den USA ausschließlich in Taschenbuchausgaben publiziert, etwa bei Signet, Dell und Fawcett; Fawcett entwickelte für Regency Romance ein eigenes Imprint, Fawcett Coventry.

Um 2000 herum verlor die traditionelle Regency Romance an Popularität. Weil viele Leserinnen inzwischen stärker erotische Romane bevorzugten, folgten einige der Autorinnen, die bisher traditionell geschrieben hatten, dem Erfolgsrezept von Autorinnen wie Mary Jo Putney und schrieben fortan Regency Historical Romance. Andere Autorinnen, etwa Joan Wolf, begannen, christliche Liebesromane (Christian Romance, Inspirational Romance) zu schreiben. Die Schriftstellerin Elizabeth Camden sieht den Grund darin, dass Texte mit traditionellen Werten außerhalb der christlichen Nische nahezu unverkäuflich waren. Durch Autorinnen wie Carla Kelly, Julie Klassen und Julianne Donaldson wurden typische Handlungsmuster aufgebrochen, sodass Camden von einer Innovation des traditionellen Liebesromans aus der Regency-Zeit spricht.

Mit Austens Werk lassen sich Heyers Romane nur eingeschränkt vergleichen. So steht im Mittelpunkt von Austens Romanen anders als bei Heyer die Kritik an den gesellschaftlichen Verhältnissen der Zeit, die weiblichen Mitgliedern der Gentry keine andere Wahl erlaubt hat als eine gute Heirat. Zwar heiraten auch Austens Heldinnen am Ende stets; ihr Ziel besteht jedoch nicht wie bei Heyer darin, einen Mann zu finden und zu heiraten, den sie lieben. Vielmehr wollen sie die schwierige Aufgabe lösen, sich so zu verheiraten, dass sie damit einerseits ihre gesellschaftlich auferlegte Pflicht erfüllen, andererseits aber eine Ehe eingehen, die emotional und menschlich befriedigend ist.

Merkmale
Die Schriftstellerin Candice Hern unterscheidet zwischen traditionellen Regency Romances (kurz: "trad"), die sich inhaltlich und stilistisch am Werk von Georgette Heyer orientieren, und sogenannten Regency Historicals (kurz: "historicals"), die von den inhaltlichen und stilistischen Vorgaben des traditionellen Regency-Liebesromans abweichen. Hern nennt Sprache, Schauplatz und die Darstellung erotischer Inhalte als primäre Unterscheidungskriterien zwischen traditionellen Regency Romances und den oft expliziter gestalteten Regency Historicals. Mit Abweichungen vom traditionellen Sprach- und Handlungsschema in Regency Historicals kann sowohl ein erhöhtes Maß an sozialem Realismus gemeint sein als auch der Versuch, moderne Wertvorstellungen auf historisch unglaubwürdige Weise in die Zeit des Regency versetzen.

Charakteristisch für das Subgenre ist eine relativ große Treue zur Geschichtlichkeit. Die Autorinnen haben das Regency eingehend studiert, und ihre Leserinnen sind notorisch dafür, große und kleine Ungenauigkeiten der Darstellung der Epoche aufzuspüren und zu kritisieren. Zentrales Thema sind die Sitten und sozialen Gepflogenheiten der Zeit. Im Vordergrund stehen die Figuren, ihre Beziehungen zueinander und ihre jeweilige Position im streng hierarchischen gesellschaftlichen Gefüge. Der Schauplatz, die sehr begrenzte Sphäre der Londoner High Society, agiert oft wie eine selbstständige Handlungsfigur. Die Aktivitäten der Figuren beschränken sich weitgehend auf Dinge wie Kutschfahrten, Morning Calls (= formelle Vormittagsbesuche), Dinnerpartys und Bälle.

Zu Heyers bekanntesten Regency-Liebesromanen zählen Arabella (1949), Frederica (1965), False Colours (1963), Venetia (1958) und The Grand Sophy (1950). Charakteristisch für Heyers Werk war, dass der sozialgeschichtliche Rahmen für ihre Romanhandlungen keine bloße – und letztlich austauschbare – Kulisse war, sondern das Geschehen im Gegenteil steuerte und bestimmte. Ihre Romane zeichnen sich durch ausgeprägte Detailschilderungen aus; Heyer hatte das Zeitalter, über das sie schrieb, akribisch studiert und ließ ihr Wissen sichtbar in die Romane einfließen. Zwar wiesen viele von Heyers Hauptfiguren moderne Befindlichkeiten auf, etwa den Wunsch nach einer Liebesheirat, diese wurden von den konventionelleren Figuren jedoch als Exzentrizitäten kritisiert. Heyers Werk zeigt fast ausschließlich die Welt der wohlhabenden Oberschicht; Themen wie Armut, Religion oder Politik erscheinen höchstens am Rande. Weitere stilistische Kennzeichen der traditionellen Regency Romance sind geist- und temporeiche witzige Dialoge und ein hohes Maß an Romantik.

Traditionelle Regency-Liebesromane waren anfangs meist etwa 65.000 Wörter lang und damit um gut ein Drittel kürzer als die meisten anderen historischen Liebesromane. Ihr Ton ist stets leicht und entspricht fast dem einer Sittenkomödie.

Beispiele und Vertreter
 Für eine Liste von Regency-Liebesromanen siehe: Regency Romance/Titelliste.

Viele namhafte englische und schottische Autoren haben das Regency als Zeitgenossen beschrieben, darunter Maria Edgeworth, Sir Walter Scott, Susan Edmonstone Ferrier, Thomas Love Peacock, Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley und Mary Shelley. Die bedeutendste Autorin des Regency war jedoch Jane Austen. Einige Autorinnen, die mit traditioneller Regency Romance begonnen hatten, schrieben später Historicals, darunter Mary Balogh, Jo Beverley, Loretta Chase und Mary Jo Putney. Autorinnen wie Amanda Quick, Eloisa James, Christina Dodd, Mary Balogh, Jo Beverley, Loretta Chace, Lisa Kleypas, Stephanie Laurens und Julia Quinn haben diese Freiheit besonders genutzt, um in die Romane stärkere Emotionen, leidenschaftlichere Liebesbeziehungen und viele explizit beschriebene erotische Szenen einflechten zu können. Cat Sebastian hat eine Reihe von erotischen Regency-Liebesromanen mit LGBT-Hauptfiguren veröffentlicht.

A Literary and Cultural History
With five figures and fourteen color plates
B- : reasonably interesting if somewhat limited overview
The Independent A- 24/8/2013 Kaite Walsh
New Statesman . 28/8/2013 Helen Lewis
Times Higher Ed. B 15/8/2013 Shahidha Bari
"Although Rees is an academic by trade, the book gleefully mixes highbrow and lowbrow, from Chaucer to 21st-century horror. She doesn�t, as Wolf did, focus all of women�s self worth there, but it is an engaging discussion about how the controversy of the words we use to describe it mask a deep-rooted fear of vaginas and their owners. (...) Ever the cunning linguist, she leaves no pun unmade, but doesn�t skimp on the theory either, the perfect antidote for those feminists who find too much of the terminology dry and academic. This may not be the definitive text on the vagina -- Rees is clear that she can�t overturn centuries of embarrassment and taboo in a single book -- but it�s an excellent place to start." - Kaite Walsh, The Independent
"The focus is inevitably western and anglophone, or it would have required far more than 350 pages, but the examples are well chosen and engaging." - Helen Lewis, New Statesman
"Rees� The Vagina is no memoir masquerading as cultural history; rather, it is a sensibly researched study that catalogues a range of artistic and literary representations of female genitalia, and demonstrates an understanding of the various aesthetic, intellectual and political discussions that frame them. It is a study that critically scrutinises our (in)abilities and (dis)inclinations to acknowledge the place of female sex, sexuality and sexual health in discourse. This is not to say it is a book that is revelatory in any profound way, but it is an informed, often interesting and decently historicising effort" - Shahidha Bari, Times Higher Education
The Vagina is, as its subtitle has it, A Literary and Cultural History rather than, say, an introduction to or consideration of that piece of anatomy (as anatomy), and representation -- literary, artistic, mythological -- is much on author Rees' mind. Focused on that -- often what's visible to the eye (as in paintings such as Courbet's L'origine du monde) -- it remains very much a surface-study: The Vagina doesn't delve too deep, or penetrate (sorry, Rees' extensive wordplay is catching ...) its ostensible -- or at least titular -- subject. Yes, the vagina -- the birth canal (yet another too-freighted term dealing with that ... area, since it shifts the focus entirely to parturition) -- doesn't exactly come up empty here, but one might have assumed that in a book with this title the author would have immersed herself (and readers) more deeply in it.
Rees is aware of the nomenclature-issues, and does address them. Late in the book, she discusses the titles she considered for her study (in a section criticizing -- and, yes, she notes she's aware of the irony -- Eve Ensler's choice of title for her The Vagina Monologues), revealing a preference for something more 'cunt'-focused (Can't was apparently a working title (and it even got as far as an Amazon-listing), but the American pronunciation of the word wasn't near enough to the mark for that to work). And Rees' Introduction immediately jumps on the subject, discussing the 'naming of parts' -- and specifically the difficulties the word (or rather, the use of the word) 'cunt' poses. It's an interesting issue, and Rees' discussion of it worthwhile; nevertheless, left with the title The Vagina, it also makes for some confusion.
The barrier to entry is reinforced by Rees' fascination with and extensive discussion of the idea/myth of vagina dentata, the 'toothed vagina' (which might not entirely prevent entry, but certainly makes a mess of things if breached). It's a striking choice for a book with this subject-matter, perforce dictating a 'stay-out'-attitude -- as is also then reinforced by the fact that there's some mention but little real discussion of much that regularly is considered to go in and come out of the vagina (most notably: menstrual discharge, babies, and penises).
Still, even sticking largely with the surface -- the cunt/vulva -- Rees does have quite a lot to offer. Her tour of how it's been represented and discussed is somewhat limited in ambit -- there's relatively little cross-cultural exploration (beyond FGM (female genital mutilation, or 'female circumcision', as it is sometimes still (ridiculously) called), which is a shame, and she's quite select in what she hones in on -- but what she focuses on she does consider very closely. From Courbet's painting ("a visual illustration of the idea of the independent or autonomized cunt", since: "Courbet does not include the woman's head or limb in his image") to Judy Chicago's 'The Dinner Party' to various texts, performance pieces, The Vagina Monologues, and even some episodes of the TV show Sex and the City, Rees is especially strong on the rapidly evolving (and more in-your-face) artistic (or would-be artistic) representation of the cunt in contemporary (Western, and even here basically American and British) culture, both fringe and more mainstream.
At times, The Vagina loses itself in its forest for all the trees: admirably extensively annotated, the sheer number of chapter-endnotes (158 for the Introduction alone) suggest an over-reliance on example -- and, indeed, much of The Vagina bogs down in its litany of listings.
Rees' personal touch -- there's some first-person confession and commentary throughout -- and a general playfulness (especially regarding (apparently irresistible) sexual wordplay) are, for the most part, effective. Occasionally, she can get carried away -- suggesting, for example, storylines that have been: "exuberantly and fearlessly examined by the wonderfully talent Lena Dunham", without providing any basis (other than her personal opinion) for these claims ('wonderfully talented', in particular, really demands some elaboration) -- but for the most part when she imposes her experience (as in the nice opening anecdote) or interpretation it works quite well.
As her discussion of what to call her study, and of the difficulties of employing the word 'cunt' (generally, specifically, titularly, socially, etc.) suggest, consideration of that general area of the female anatomy remains fraught with difficulties, even when one tries to be as open as possible about it (as some of those performance artists she presents certainly do). The Vagina is far from a definitive study of the subject matter -- even just as 'literary and cultural history' -- but a useful addition to the conversation. Rees offers many interesting examples and the odd titbit (Courbet's L'origine du monde comes from the collection of psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan !), and though she works more by example than evaluation, there's a lot of useful information here.

No exterior shades, window guards, awnings, ventilators, fans or air-conditioning devices or units shall be used or installed in or about any Residential Unit without the prior written approval of the Condominium Board, which approval may be granted or refused in the sole discretion of the Condominium Board nor shall anything be projected out of any window of any Residential Unit without similar approval.
Upon request of any Unit Owner, the Board of Managers shall allow the installation of any hook up necessary to provide cable television service to the Units. However, no radio or television aerial shall be attached to or hung by a Residential Unit Owner from the exterior of the Building without written approval of the Board of Managers and nothing shall be projected from any window of a Residential Unit without approval in writing by the Condominium Board or the managing Agent.

No exterior of any Residential Unit, including the terraces or the windows or doors thereof or any other portions of the Common Elements shall be painted or decorated by any owner in any manner, and no change shall be made in the design of the balcony rails, without prior written consent of the Board of Managers or except as provided in the By-Laws.
Plantings on any terrace or balcony shall be contained in boxes of wood, lined with metal or other materials impervious to dampness and standing on supports at least two inches from the terrace or balcony surface, and, if adjoining a wall, at least three inches from such wall. Suitable weep holes shall be provided in the boxes to draw off water. In special locations, such as a corner abutting a parapet wall, plantings may be contained in masonry or hollow tile walls which shall be at least three inches from the parapet and flashing, with the floor of drainage tiles and suitable weep holes at the sides to draw off water. Such masonry planting beds shall not, however, rest directly upon the surface of such terrace or balcony, but shall stand on supports at least two inches above such surface. It shall be the responsibility of the Residential Unit Owner to maintain the containers in good condition, and the drainage tiles and weep holes in operating condition. Such Residential Unit owner shall pay the cost of any repairs rendered necessary, or damage caused, by such plantings.

Any consent or approval given under these Rules and Regulations may be amended, modified, added to, or repealed at any time by resolution of the Condominium Board. Further, any such consent or approval may, in the discretion of the Condominium Board or the Managing Agent, be conditional in nature.
Complaints regarding the management of the Building and grounds or regarding the action of other Unit Owners shall be made in writing to the Board of Managers.
Please be advised that all common charges and other related condominium charges are due on the first of the month. A grace period of 10 days is granted to all unit owners to ensure that aforementioned payments are received by the condominium in a timely manner. There is a $50 late fee for any common charge payments received after the 10th of the month it's due. There will also be a $50 late fee for all other account balance charges received after the 10th of the month, including, but not limited to, architectural, engineering, legal, administrative, and house rules violation fees. Disputes regarding charges must be made in writing to the Board of Managers and sent directly to the managing agent, Ralph Davis at ABC Realty. Otherwise, late fees will compound.

Militò fin da giovane nelle file del partito Liberale Radicale e ricoprì vari incarichi: commissario di governo a Mendrisio (1836-1837) e (1840-1843), deputato al Gran Consiglio ticinese (1844-1845) e Consigliere di Stato (1845-1849), (1852-1854), (1858-1866).

Insegnamento
Dal 1853 insegnò scienze e chimica al Liceo di Lugano, di cui fu rettore dal 1855 fino al 1858. Il Museo di storia naturale da lui fondato nel 1858, ospita le sue collezioni di minerali e fossili. Dal 1866 al 1874 fu direttore del circondario doganale federale di Lugano.

Opere
Autore di varie pubblicazioni scientifiche, si distinse per aver scritto nel 1863 le Escursioni nel Canton Ticino, dove sviluppò degli itinerari didattici toccando vari aspetti: dalla geologia alla fauna, dalla storia all'arte e all'economia.

Carrots For One And All!
Cookbook Review: Jamie's Food Revolution, Take Two
Jenn Garbee March 3, 2011
As Jamie Oliver launches his Food Revolution Truck, his publisher is re-issuing Oliver's ninth cookbook in paperback form. Wait, which one was the ninth? Jamie's Food Revolution, of course. Even good causes need a constant flow of publicity fuel.
And so, Oliver has dedicated the paperback version of the 2009 original to "all the wonderful people of Huntington, West Virginia." More on that later.
The book is described by Oliver as "inspired by all the people I've met who thought they could never and would never learn how to cook." You already know how the story ends. These blokes in the kitchen meet Oliver, they learn to cook, their lives are forever changed, and Oliver signs another mega-book deal.
Yet even though the recipes are takes on basics for the beginning cook, there are also interesting little twists on how to get the kids to eat their peas (tuck them into mini pasta shells with a creamy bacon-mint sauce) as well as some additions to your everyday breakfast oatmeal that even more accomplished cooks might be tempted to try. Like adding mashed banana, a jigger of whiskey (sure, why not?), nutmeg and honey to the cooked oats. Or melting some good quality bittersweet chocolate and adding a spoonful of orange marmalade to your oatmeal.

But mostly, this book is recent college graduate gift material. There are clever variations on basic pot pies (the ultimate toss-anything-in dinner), as from one basic recipe you see — literally, in the photos — how you could top it with puff pastry, turn the pie into more of a dumpling stew, or make a boiled, sliced potato crust. Herb mashed-potatoes could go on top, too. These are the sort of hearty but home cooked meals that Matthew Borrington, a bricklayer and budding home cook featured in the book, says make him cook "stuff I never I would have imagined doing."
Oliver's publisher also gets kudos. The paperback version, which will be released next month, doesn't skimp on the photos in the original as many paperback cookbooks do these days. The color shots of Oliver's hands in a mess of meatloaf, or the step-by-step instructions for making that sage stuffing, are as charming as Oliver's new-found culinary disciples. Mick Trueman, a miner who says he had never turned on his stove, says he "can't believe that within eight or nine minutes I can now get a full meal on the table, with all these amazing tastes I've never had before in my life." Trueman goes on to describe Oliver as "like the horse whisperer bloke, but instead he's the 'cook whisperer' who can turn anyone into a great cook." You get the sense that if any of these people bumped into Oliver on the street, they would instinctively get down on their knees and offer him every homemade granola bar in their pockets.
But hey, if Oliver really can get that sweet and sour stir fried pork recipe with red onions, yellow peppers and pineapple that follows Trueman's profile on the table in less than ten minutes, maybe he really is the second coming of Julia Child. Okay, maybe not. On our recipe glance, just cooking the rice alone is going to take 20 or so minutes. But what do we know? Oliver is the multi-millionaire promising the Food Revolution.
Speaking of, in the book's dedication to West Virginia, Oliver continues with this: "The food revolution in Huntington was hard, but the community came together and I hope and pray they keep it going and become a shining example of how one community can make inspiring changes." As we already know that likely isn't going to happen (his Huntington's Kitchen is out of broccoli money), might we suggest Oliver consider a paper money version of his paperback book dedication? As in, turn those sterling book profits into greenbacks and donate the proceeds to Huntington's Kitchen. Now that would be a broccoli salad revolution with the staying power of leftovers.

High demand for beef, particularly during the Islamic Qurban festival which ended yesterday, caused beef prices to almost double compared with the same period last year, according to Islamic leaders and officials.
Him Khortieth, IKatan Mahabbah Muslimin's (IMAN) representative in Cambodia, said the association planned to share out over 100 cows for free which were originally sold at a double price to Cham communities in at least two provinces, Kampong Cham and Kampong Chhnang, during the Qurban festival.
He said the Islamic festival required Muslims to sacrifice one beloved thing, particularly the sacrifice of a livestock animal, which is a favourite of Islamic people.
He also said that for cows aged more than two years, the price was more than US$200 each last year but climbed to about $400 at this time.
He noted that the price increase resulted from the large-scale exports to Vietnam and said they had fed the cows less sufficiently then before.
"Even though the price is so high, we still find it hard to buy them," he said, adding that with this festival, the number of cows automatically increase because there were thousands of cows available.
Abdul Rah Man, president of an Islamic Association in Cambodia, said that last year they were able to buy one cow for $300 to give it to the community, but this year is different because $350 is not sufficient.
He said his association, supported by other Islamic charities abroad, shared 255 cows for killing to share the meat with poor Muslims.
He said there were around 60,0000 Cham people in the country.
Over the three days of the festival, each Cham person would eat at least 0.3 kilograms of beef, according to Abdul Rah Man.
Sen Sovann, deputy director of Animal Health and Production Department at the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, said that there were some factors leading to a decrease in beef production.
This included farmers using agricultural machines instead of animals and the fact that youths started jobs at factories and there was not enough labour for raising cows.
He said the current price increase resulted from huge exports to the Vietnamese market.
