History RAT Revision-The French Revolution
The Three Estates
The Monarchy
Head of the social and government it was his duty to ensure that has people were
provided with law and order.
Appointed ministers and he also chose 36 intendents, who acted as his local officials
and were responsible for the different parts of France known as generalities.
Louis ruled as an absolute monarch and later faced charges of despotism (tyrannical
power/dictatorship). Louis' belief was that he ruled by divine right.
The king was expected to rule over a fair and just regime, he was expected to pass
only such laws as were necessary for the well-being of the whole kingdom and to
preserve his subjects' freedom within the law.
The process of law making- an edict was drawn up by the king and advisers, this was then
sent to the parlements for approval. These were the 13 supreme courts of appeal in France;
who also had political powers. They had the right to challenge all edicts before they became
First Estate
The clergy, both high and low. The clergy occupied the highest position in society and
was known as the First Estate.
Its members varied tremendously in type- there was a huge difference, in terms of
wealth and power, between humble parish priests, monks and nuns and the bishops
and archbishops and cardinals (who came from the ranks of the nobility).
Not all members of the first estate were rich. Clerics were very influential in France,
the Catholic Church governed the daily lives of most people, and it controlled
education and provided care for the sick.
Privileges: They could only be prosecuted in their own church courts, they could not
be asked to perform military service or house troops or provide money for royal troops, and
they also had various financial privileges and were not required to pay the taille (the main
direct tax).
Second Estate
The nobility, including the royal family, which owned around a fifth of the land in
The nobility was divided, and not all were exceptionally wealthy. The first group was
the ancient nobility, whose status came from their birth. They were known as the
nobility of the sword as they were originally the only men allowed to carry a sword.
The other group was made up of those whose noble status derived from the work
they did and was known as the nobility of the robe. Nobility might be acquired
through performance of a particular job, such as judge, given in return for money, as
a reward for outstanding military service, or, more often, as a `perk' accompanying a
particular governmental office.
Venal offices were those that could be purchased and they provided a useful source
of income for the crown during the 18th Century. The numbers of the second estate
had grown considerably during this century.
Privileges: the right to wear a sword, display their coat of arms and take precedence
at public ceremonies helped reinforce their belief in a natural superiority. They had a right to
be heard in a high court and be beheaded rather than hung; they were exempt from the
corvee (forced labour on the roads) and the taille (direct tax) and gabelle (salt tax) and had a
lower rate of assessment in other direct taxes.
Third Estate
A mixed group of those who were neither clerics nor nobility.

Here's a taster:
The largest proportion, comprising 80-90% of the population, was peasantry.
Peasants worked the land of others but there were some peasants with small
holdings of their own.
At the top there were the richer, land-owning peasantry and the tenant farmers of
large estates and the bourgeoisie, who relied on their skill as professionals (doctors,
lawyers, teachers etc).
At the very top of the bourgeoisie, they identified more with the second estate and
many tried to join through the purchase of office.…read more

Nobody was exempt
Feudal Rights-
The right of the oven: peasants had to bake their bread in an oven owned by the landlord,
paying a fee for its use.
The rights of the mill: peasants had to grind heir corn in the landlord's windmill or watermill,
paying a fee to use it.
The right of the press: peasants had to press their grapes in the landlord's press, paying a
fee for its use.…read more

How did Enlightenment ideas spread?
French architecture, furniture and fashion dominated continental taste and all

New developments in France were, therefore, rapidly discussed and absorbed

Rousseau's `Emile' discusses the role of women in society and the level and form of
education they should therefore attain. He accepts that women and men are similar
in terms of their basic organs. Women should be weak and passive and men should
be strong and active. The main function of a woman is to please man, men are
dependent on women and women are dependent on men.…read more

Economic condition of France-
The wars were funded by borrowing and so every time the crown took out a loan it
faced future repayment debts.
To try to meet costs, the king and ministers had tried to squeeze the maximum
amount from existing taxation and also introduced a number of temporary taxes.
One that was particularly resented was the Vingtieme, which was a levy on income
paid by all except the clergy. It was introduced in 1749 and was still being levied in
1780.…read more

Turgot was interested in the writings of the French physiocrats, economic writers
who believed in freeing agriculture from the restrictions of taxes and dues as a way
of stimulating the wealth of the country.

Turgot believed this was the way forward and tried to introduce a number of
reforms.…read more

Failed to recognise a changing tide in the intellectual agenda and its impact on
society. Failed to enforce rigorous censorship with the proliferation of radical
journals and press.
Some high ranking members of the nobility believed that the king had let
government become ridiculously complex and was more and more reliant on
ministers and advisers.
There was a perception that Louis stayed away from Paris- detached from his
subjects.…read more

From the book jacket: "Christopher
Hogwood came home on my lap in a shoebox. He was a creature who
would prove in many ways to be more human than I am."
from The Good Good Pig.
A naturalist who spent months at a time living on her own among wild creatures in remote jungles, Sy Montgomery had always felt more comfortable with animals than with people. So she gladly opened her heart to a sick piglet who had been crowded away from nourishing meals by his stronger siblings. Yet Sy had no inkling that this piglet, later named Christopher Hogwood, would not only survive but flourish and she soon found herself engaged with her small-town community in ways she had never dreamed possible. Unexpectedly, Christopher provided this peripatetic traveler with something she had sought all her life: an anchor ...

World News Daily: The Most Ignored Stories Of 2011
Inconvenient truths. While the establishment news media brought plenty of bad economic news in 2011, the real story hasn't been adequately told. The true rate of unemployment and inflation and the real state of the U.S. economy, which is far worse than reported, tops WND's annual list of the 10 most "spiked" or underreported stories of the last year.

Obama Signs Historic Assault on American Liberty
BHO celebrates New Year by seizing citizen liberties. President Barack Obama rang in the New Year by signing the NDAA law with its provision allowing him to indefinitely detain citizens.

May I have your attention please? Will the real Ron Paul please stand up? I repeat, will the real Ron Paul please stand up? I keep hearing the same three rumors about Paul: He blames America for 9/11, he's anti-Israel and he's pro-Iran. So, who is the real Ron Paul? Does he blame America for 9/11? No, he's very patriotic.

Why Voter ID terrifies Democrats. The most consequential election in our lifetime is still 10 months away, but it's clear from the Obama administration's order halting South Carolina's new photo ID law that the Democrats already have brought a gun to a knife fight.

Edward H. Crane: Why Ron Paul Matters
The one who stands for constitutionally limited government. The controversy surrounding decades-old newsletters to which GOP presidential aspirant Ron Paul lent his name is regrettable.

As crime rates drop, police powers grow at alarming rate. Last week, the FBI released its preliminary crime statistics for the first half of 2011, and across the nation violent crimes dropped 6.7% while property crimes dropped 3.7%. This continues a downward trend that dates back to the 1970's. Many of the violent crimes reported this year have been ... MORE

One trillion dollars wasted and counting. When I started writing this column a little more than a year ago, I thought medical marijuana was a thinly veiled cover for folks who wanted to legalize the substance.

Each of us pleaded in vain for relief from the unequal division of household chores and duties. And complain though we would, we couldn't stop the sometimes uneven ... MORE
M. Brownfield: How Would Americans Help The Economy?
The answer is less government. Throughout his presidency — and especially over the last year — Barack Obama has turned toward a bigger federal government as the answer for fixing the U.S. economy.

At a regional Campaign for Liberty event in Missouri, Bierfeldt had sold thousands of dollars worth of conference tickets, bumper stickers, T-shirts, and books, and was now in the security line at ...

Feds Want Medical Marijuana Patients To Lose Rights
AFT wants to prohibit patients from protecting themselves. If you are a medical marijuana patient in one of the 16 states (plus the District of Columbia) that allow for it, you've got reason to believe lately that the government has it in for you. You've got federal raids on the places where you can conveniently buy your medicine, the governor of Arizona ... MORE

Jeb Bush: Capitalism And The Right To Rise
The risk of failure vs. the certainty of stagnation. Congressman Paul Ryan recently coined a smart phrase to describe the core concept of economic freedom: "The right to rise." Think about it. We talk about the right to free speech, the right to bear arms, the right to assembly. The right to rise doesn't seem like something we should have to protect. But we do. ... MORE

His autobiography is a great American story.

Wayne Allyn Root: Obama's New Math Is A Job Killer
President must have missed class on subtraction. President Obama's math skills leave something to be desired.

When confronted by the reporter with the reality that his economic stimulus package failed, he decided to lie to the American ... MORE

Jerry Hirsch: California Launches War Against Oil Changes
Legislative nannies gone wild. Many automobile owners are spending more than they need on motor oil, believing that it should be changed every 3,000 miles even though almost no manufacturer requires such an aggressive oil-change schedule. The long-held notion that the oil should be changed every 3,000 miles is so prevalent that California officials have launched a ... MORE

Obama's regulatory surge has hamstrung the economy. The White House is on the political offensive, and one of its chief claims is that it isn't the overregulator of business and Republican lore. This line has been picked up by impressionable columnists, so it's a good time to consider the evidence in some detail. Jan Eberly, an Assistant Treasury Secretary, kicked ... MORE

Government regulation kills jobs.

Liquid Lunch Cafe
750 S Old Woodward Ave (at inside Be Well Lifestyle Center), Birmingham, Michigan, USA, 48009
Raw vegan smoothie and juice cafe inside Be Well. Offers grab and go meals from the Cacao Tree. Open Mon-Sun 9:00am-4:00pm.
Category: Vegan, American, Organic, Juice bar, Take-out, All Raw
Reviews (1)First Review by Cassidy
Be Well Cafe - Tropical Sun & Liver Cleanse - Edit
I dragged another non-vegan friend to this place who is a bit of a health-food nut, so I got to try two items at this location.
Atmosphere - The staff member who helped us was very friendly and more than willing to walk through the menu with us, knowing that I am a new vegan and my friend wasn't vegan at all. It was a tiny area considering the way that the building is set up, but it doesn't take long to prepare the drinks.
Meal - The Tropical Sun was quite tasty (being that I like coconut and pineapple) and it was a bit of a more mellow taste. The Liver Cleanse (which I only tried a sip of) had a bit of a stronger taste to it, but it wasn't bad at all considering that I'm not a huge fan of beets. I would order either one again in the future.
Their whole menu is quite unique and it will take some time to try the different options. As we were leaving, the girl on staff was kind enough to let us know that they also recently began making a 'raw ice cream' that isn't on the menu yet and consists of banana's. I will have to be sure to try that the next time I'm in the store.
Pros: Very Friendly Staff, Multiple Options, Made Fresh
Cons: Small Location, No Nutrition Facts

BANGALORE: Vartur police have arrested notorious rowdy Sunil (28) and his four associates in connection with the murder case of rowdy sheeter Anil.
The other accused have been identified as Sunil alias Sonna (20), Santosh alias Galata (21), Askar alias Dose (20) and Anand alias Kembara (20). Anil was murdered on June 20.
The investigations have revealed that accused Sunil had an illicit relationship with one of the relatives of Anil. Both Sunil and Anil were accused in the murder case of one Auto Chandra and after that murder the duo tried to take control of criminal activities in the city. Rivalry between the two led Sunil to plan to eliminate Anil. Sunil confessed to the crime during interrogation, the police said.
The accused were hiding in a house in Hegganur village in Kanakapur taluk and they were arrested from there on July 2. "Once Sunil and Anil were the close aides of notorious goon JCB Narayana. Later they had split and and formed their own teams. Their fight go gain supremacy over underworld ended in Anil's murder," the police added.

Should Philadelphia's suburbs help their central city?
We end with the age-old debate of city vs. suburbs. The United States is unique in its commitment to local government as the primary provider of essential public services and in its use of local taxes as the primary means for paying for these services. The Philadelphia metropolitan area is typical of the U.S. pattern. But Philadelphia faces the burdens and responsibilities of all older central cities, including a higher proportion of poor residents than its surrounding suburbs. Such circumstances lead the city to impose higher taxes, but raising revenues through higher taxes becomes self-defeating when tax rates drive people and businesses away. The result is a weaker city and regional economy. How can Philadelphia strengthen its finances? In "Should Philadelphia's Suburbs Help Their Central City?" Bob Inman proposes a targeted program of suburban assistance to lower the commuter wage tax and presents evidence that such a program is likely to benefit city and suburban residents alike.

After working in ministry for a few years, and traveling to a few places, and generally just getting to know other humans, I have come to wonder with deep curiosity about how some people can survive so much death and still live.
I meet people who have endured unfathomable depths of grief and sorrow and devastation, and I just do not quite understand the true strength of the human resiliency. How can it be so? How can someone survive that, I wonder.
Sometimes, I meet a person and learn of their burdens and I just wish I could absorb all of it for them. I wish I could scoop it out of them, like a bucket scooping water, until there was only a little left – only just enough for them to bear more easily.
Do you think this is how God feels? I suppose this is what he does, actually.

Vessel Walkthrough
This Antigua 44 center cockpit cutter rigged ketch vessel has a spacious two stateroom, two head layout that provides a large private aft stateroom with a convertible double/king berth and a spacious guest cabin for your visitors. The layout of the interior is traditional with a walk through galley to starboard, sit down nav. station with swing out seat to port, and a workshop and engine room just aft to port. The salon has a large curved dinette to port and settee to starboard which also can make up into a good sea berth on a passage.
Main Salon
The Salon is aft of the structural bulkhead with a spacious L shaped leather settee to starboard. The dining table is a traditional drop leaf table that is sturdy and fixed with storage in the center. With the leaf up, the dining arrangement easily accommodates six.

Emma Stibbon (b. 1962 Munster, Germany) studied at Goldsmiths College, London and at the University of the West of England, Bristol. She is currently Senior Lecturer in Fine Art at the University of Brighton. Drawing is fundamental to Stibbon's practice. Her work emerges through her practice of walking and gathering research 'in the field', often drawing from observation and using the camera. Back in the studio she constructs large-scale drawings often using fragile drawing media such as chalk on blackboard or volcanic ash on paper. Stibbon is drawn to locations that are in a condition of flux, dynamic formation or erosion. Recurring themes in her work reflect on how the apparently monumental or permanent can be so fragile. She has participated in several residencies, including the Derek Hill scholarship at the British School at Rome, the Scott Polar Research Institute placement in Antarctica, and the Arctic Circle expedition to Svalbard, Norway. Other projects include the Stiftung Federkiel residency at the Spinnerei, Leipzig and the 4th international Gyumri Bienniale, Armenia. She exhibits widely, most recently participating in shows at Galerie Bastian, Berlin, the Polar Museum, Cambridge, R O O M, London, the Stadtmuseum, Berlin and Alan Cristea Gallery, London. Her work is held in private and public collections including the Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, the Stadtmuseum, Berlin, Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery, Pallant House Gallery, Chichester, Potsdam Museum, Germany and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. She was elected Royal Academician in 2013.

So Good and Nutritious!
Reviewer2052358님께서 4 26, 2012 에 작성하셨습니다.
I've been looking for a cereal without sugar of any kind which is very hard to find first of all. I also wanted it to be gluten & lactose free while being a excellent source of fiber which this is. It's made up of chia seeds & also has hemp & buckwheat seeds in it. I've read that Chia seeds have five times more calcium than milk & more Omega 3 than flax or salmon. There's 6 grams of protein in just 2 tablespoons which is considered a serving size since when you add liquid, it bulks up and can be eaten cold or hot. I use almond milk and a little stevia in mine & it's quite filling. I probably sound like an advertisement but I've been so happy w/this product. Like I said, it's so difficult to find a cereal without sugar and other additives one doesn't want, that's great tasting, filling and really good for you. This is a very good price as I've checked around.
One of my favorite breakfasts!
Reviewer1849502님께서 2 06, 2013 에 작성하셨습니다.
Love this product! Great before a run!
Good as is - you can take it to the next level
Reviewer1604997님께서 8 20, 2011 에 작성하셨습니다.
I tried this out of curiosity and found it to be a decent hot breakfast cereal. I doctor it up with dried fruit and nuts (goji berries and walnuts most frequently, but the possibilities are limited only by your imagination). I take this to work and add hot water from a dispenser, let it sit a few minutes, and it's ready to eat. Quite convenient.
The perfect porridge !

This is really good stuff. I use it with Coconut Milk due to my lactose intolerancy however it doesn't bulk up as I think it should.
Good and crunchy!

Death never stopped a good author from publishing another novel. Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita and Irène Némirovsky's Suite française — the examples are plentiful and into the ranks goes Hidden Knowledge, the first of two posthumous works by Bernardine Bishop, which explores the darker side of human behaviour.
Perhaps "the darker side" underplays it. Hidden Knowledge is about paedophilia and the Catholic church, and it considers the mind of an offending priest after he has been accused. If anyone was able to pull off such a dispassionate yet inquiring feat, it would be Bishop, who spent 30 years as

Lush and sleepy, the subtropical island of Ishigaki shows little sign of preparing for war with Asia's rising superpower China. Dotted with sugar cane fields and surrounded by coral reefs, the 85-square-mile Pacific speck hovers on the far fringes of Japan's south-west territories, 1,000 miles from Tokyo.
Tourists stroll around the bright new airport. The atmosphere across the island and its population of 48,000 is gently welcoming and relaxed. And that, says Makoto Nakashinjo bitterly, is the problem.
"We've been at peace for so many years that people here are complacent," says Mr Nakashinjo, who edits a local, right-leaning newspaper called Yaeyama Nippo. He believes an increasingly assertive China, some 120 miles away, is picking a fight with Japan. "They'are waiting for our strength to weaken and then they will come in and take us over. The central government must show now that we are strong and can defend ourselves."
For now, the only visible sign that Tokyo is heeding that advice is the fleet of Japanese coastguard vessels crowding Ishigaki harbour. The boats have been sent to protect a group of goat-infested, uninhabited rocks known here as the Senkakus, about 100 miles away. For nine months, the coastguard has played cat-and-mouse with ever-larger surveillance ships from China, which calls the islands Diaoyu, and insists they're Chinese. Occasionally the two sides have come close to clashing.
"Escalation is always possible," warns Tetsuo Kotani, a maritime affairs expert with the Japan Institute of International Affairs, a government-linked think tank. He calls the situation around the disputed islands "very scary". "A clash would be a huge diplomatic crisis. We just don't know how the escalation will start." War, he warns, "cannot be ruled out".
The US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations condemned China's high stakes poker game around these islands this week, urging "self-restraint" but warning that Washington will oppose "any unilateral action" undermining Japan's claim. The sharp end of that warning was a set of unprecedented war games in California this month, in which US and Japanese troops practised retaking a remote island airport from enemy forces. The drills were clearly aimed at China.
This week, China begins its largest-ever joint naval drills – with Russia. Though Beijing is denying that the exercises are aimed at any third parties, Tokyo is unlikely to see it that way.
Historically and culturally close to China (and Taiwan), these islands, stretching some 600 miles up to Okinawa, have long been buffeted by shifts in the geopolitical balance of power. In the 19th century, they were annexed by Japan as it fortified its sea flanks. Japan's ambitions to become a colonial power in Asia ended in cataclysm: during the 1945 battle of Okinawa, over 120,000 locals died in what many here believe was a cynical attempt by Tokyo to stall a US invasion of the Japanese mainland.
Many on Ishigaki remain wary of any military entanglement after the island was extensively bombed during the war. A bilingual monument on the island marks one of the more brutal local episodes from the war: two US airmen, shot down by the Japanese navy, were tortured, beaten and beheaded. A third was used as bayonet practice with bamboo spears by a local mob.
Now the old order is inexorably shifting again as ageing, declining Japan struggles to accommodate the rising bulk of its giant neighbour. Four years ago, then Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama floated an ultimately doomed vision of "fraternity" with China. That prospect has been drowned out by a series of disputes over these islands, climaxing with Tokyo's decision last year effectively to nationalise the Senkakus. That provoked a furious response from Beijing, which said both governments had secretly agreed years ago to shelve the territorial issue. Tokyo denies any such deal.
Earlier this month, an essay in the The People's Daily, the Chinese Communist Party's official newspaper, seemed to up the stakes in the dispute by attacking Japan's historical right to rule the entire Okinawa chain. Some on Ishigaki, which has jurisdiction over the Senkakus, say they preferred the status quo to the uncertain new world ushered in by the nationalisation. For years, the local government refused to issue permits to Japanese ultra-nationalists who wanted to land on the island and plant flags.
"The Chinese hardly made a fuss about the Senkakus until last year," says Hiro Hotta, a doctor. "People around here have friendly feelings toward China, because of the long history and geographical closeness. There is no animosity toward them at all, only in the heads of nationalists."
But Ishigaki's Mayor, Yoshitaka Nakayama, has signalled a different approach to his predecessors, who shied away from any nationalist posturing to avoid provoking either Beijing or Okinawa's fierce pacifist movement. The potent symbol of that difference is Japan's rising sun flag, which flutters in from of Ishigaki city hall for the first time since the war. Mr Nakayama has asked Tokyo to build a Self-Defence Force base on the island. "We think the best deterrent is strength," says Hidenobu Oe, a city hall spokesman.
Tokyo has so far declined to meet that demand, mindful of the likely response from Beijing, which will surely bristle at further militarisation of the area. A hawkish Tokyo clique, led by nationalist Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, says the door is open to negotiations but refuses to accept any territorial dispute over the Senkakus and demands that China first pull its boats out of the seas around the islands. Before his election last winter, Mr Abe invoked Margaret Thatcher's retaking of the Falkland Islands in 1982 as an inspiration for defending the Senkakus.
Peace activists from Okinawa's main island, which still bears the scars of the 1945 battle and reluctantly hosts most of Japan's American military bases, say they will fight to prevent a base being built on Ishigaki. "It's obvious that armies don't bring peace," says Dr Hotta. "We should try to build bridges with China rather than military walls."
In the Ishigaki branch office of the SDF, the commander speaks off the record about the future. Soon, he hopes, Tokyo will approve a military base and quick-response unit on Ishigaki, ready to fly to the Senkakus. People won't say it, but they're frightened of what will happen without more protection, he says. "The Chinese will never compromise; they'll keep pushing the boundaries."Reuse content

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
To insulate the ultimate individual owners from U.S. estate taxes, nonresident aliens often hold U.S. real property in a U.S. corporation, which corporation is owned by a foreign corporation. The foreign corporation is owned by the ultimate nonresident alien owners (either directly or through intermediate non-U.S. entities).
If the real property is a residential unit that will be personally used by the individuals involved (or other family members or friends), the payment of rent for the personal use should be considered. A recent Tax Court case illustrates the results that can arise when there is no rental payment.
The case advises us:
Note that similar principles can apply to real property owned by LLC's and dividends (albeit without the application of U.S. withholding taxes on E&P distributions under the corporate income tax rules).
