Grinding or crunching are common symptoms of cartilage problems. If the cartilage is damaged -- a condition called chondromalacia -- a crunching sensation is often felt by placing the hand over the kneecap and bending the knee. A similar grinding sensation may be felt with knee arthritis.
Don't get confused by the name. It was just the civil code that Napoleon Bonaparte established in France. What was significant about it was that it replaced the feudal system, the major governing system since the early medieval period, establishing a civil legal system. It also influenced other civil codes throughout Europe (even though it wasn't the first in Europe).
This backlash to womens rights had consequences throughout Europe. In military campaigns, Napoleon carried the Code throughout Europe, where it served as a model to legislators in countries from Italy to Poland.Within France itself, the Code survived basically unaltered for more than 150 years. Only in 1965 did French wives get the right to work without their husbands permission.Only in 1970 did husbands forfeit the rights that came with their status as head of the family.In many ways, the Code was the most enduring legacy of the French Revolution.nly in 1965 did French wives get the right to work without their husbands permission.
