From Politics to Reason of State by Maurizio Viroli
Book DescriptionBetween the end of the sixteenth and the beginning of the seventeenth centuries, the language of politics underwent a radical transformation. The author argues that this transformation amounted to a 'revolution of politics', global in scope, and wide-ranging in its intellectual and moral implications. Not only did the meaning and the range of application of the concept of politics change, but also the status of political science, the role of political education, and the value of political liberty. For three centuries politics had enjoyed the status of the noblest human science, but emerged from the revolution as an ignoble, sordid and depraved activity. It was no longer the means of fighting corruption, but the means of perpetuating it. This 'revolution of politics' has received little attention, despite its importance. This study fills a gap in the history of political thought, and attempts to return to a conception of politics as an activity worth committing ourselves to.

Religion and liberty are often thought to be mutual enemies. This title argues that political emancipation and the defense of political liberty have always required the self-sacrifice of people with religious sentiments and a religious devotion to liberty. It shows that when this has been corrupted or suffocated, Italians have lost their liberty.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Sturm was born in Solamnia in the year AC 331. Sturm was the son of one of the great swordsman of the Knights of Solamnia, Lord Angriff Brightblade. When Sturm was 11, he and his mother, Lady Ilys, were sent away to Solace from their castle by Angriff. The peasants in the area had gone mad. Angry because the knights couldn't stop the Dark Queen, the peasants lynched and burnt down the houses/castles of knights and the knight's families. Angriff stayed behind with his men to fight. It is a mystery as to what became of Angriff.Sturm was raised by his mother to be proper and well educated. He adopted a thick Solamnic accent for which he was teased by the other children in Solace. He befriended Caramon and Raistlin in Solace, who, along with himself, were "adopted" by Flint Fireforge after their parents passed away.As he grew up, he became more and more determined to become a knight and to restore the former honor and glory of the knighthood. He went on many journeys all over Krynn learning about the knights and what became of this father. When he was a young man, he learned that a rival of his father, Lord Boniface Crownguard, was responsible for his father's disappearance and an attempt on Sturms life. Boniface was put to death for treason. Boniface's squire and nephew, Derek Crownguard, was Sturm's biggest rival in the order. He stopped at nothing to shame Sturm and his family name.Sturm received his fathers armor and sword as a young man. Though the armor was a bit big for him, he wore it always and assumed the role of a knight. He was a great swordsman, though not so much as his father.During the War of the Lance, Sturm was an invaluable link to the knighthood and eventually became a knight himself, despite the resistance put up by Derek Crownguard. Lord Gunthar Uth Wistan, former squire to Sturm's father, was one of Sturm's only friends in the order.Through the years, Sturm and Kitiara had a love affair. Kitiara's ambition was greater than her love, however. During a battle at the High Clerist's Tower, she killed Sturm without a second thought. It was one of the saddest days on Krynn. Caramon honored Sturm's memory by naming one of his son's after him. Kitiara and Sturm had a son: Steel Brightblade.

Thought I'd add a couple of reticulata varieties to the archives as well.
Included are 'Gordon', 'Pauline' and a pretty crappy picture of
'Springtime'. Thought that Springtime was worth including, although not a

Allergic asthma is common in Westernized countries and its prevalence has increased greatly during the last century. Interestingly, recent research has shown that exposure to pets during infancy correlates with a lower risk of developing allergy and asthma in later life. In addition, data generated by the PPG investigators have demonstrated that pets can be associated with alterations to the microbiota in house dust. It is well known that soil and dust are ingested by children, and alterations in gut microbiome have been associated with risk for allergic asthma development. In order to further our understanding of the mechanisms that lead to the alterations observed clinically, this project has established and utilized models of pulmonary disease with exposure to dust from homes with dogs versus no pets. Using two different mouse models of allergic asthma (cockroach antigen and ovalbumin), we will study pulmonary immune responses after oral exposure to house dust using samples collected from homes with dogs and without pets. We will test the overall hypothesis that the composition of the dust microbiome from homes with dogs versus no pets differentially alters pulmonary immune responses during allergen exposure by changing the Gl microbiota or bacterial community composition (BCC), resulting in systemic changes in antigen presenting cell and bone marrow progenitor cell programming and allergic outcomes. To test this hypothesis, we will specifically focus on clinically relevant mechanisms involved in the ability of pulmonary-derived allergen responses to induce Th2 cytokines, mucus hypersecretion, physiologic changes (AHR), and changes in innate responses locally as well as systemically. Our studies will: 1) establish that exposure of mice to dust from homes with dogs versus no pets will result in differential changes in the Gl BCC, 2) demonstrate that the dog dust-altered gut microbiome alters pulmonary allergic responses, 3) establish that the dog dust-induced changes alter dendritic cell responses in the lung, 4) identify that changes in innate responses are a systemic effect by examining bone marrow cell responses, and 5) utilize innovative mouse models to derive the cellular mechanisms of the altered responses. BCC will be measured using the G3 PhyloChip. Thus, these studies, in close collaboration with the other projects in this PPG, will clarify a number of previously unexplored questions and will guide exploration into this novel area of research.
Asthma is one of the most common ailments that affects Americans of all ages. The treatment of asthma has not changed significantly and the prevalence of asthma continues to increase. A better understanding of how asthma develops and the ability to identify prevention strategies for use in early life is imperative. These studies will explore mechanisms associated with the household environment linked to pets and asthma using a clinically relevant animal model of airways disease.

Silent server file creation using javascript/jquery
This project received 4 bids from talented freelancers with an average bid price of $46 USD.Get free quotes for a project like this
Project BudgetN/A
Total Bids4
Project Description
1. I need two things: a simple php script that will run on a linux/unix-based server with php 4 support, and a sample html file containing a javascript function named S_LOG() that takes as parameters two strings, one containing the URL of the server, the other a filename.
(a) The php script should be named [url removed, login to view] and can be assumed to reside in the root of the server (i.e. its URL is just SERVER_URL/[url removed, login to view]).
(b) All the php script needs to do is create/verify a subfolder on the server (can be assumed to already exist) "/S_LOG/" and create an empty (0 length) file in that subdirectory in response to a request from the sample html file.
(c) No need for any error handling or any feedback from the php script. The result of the php is never displayed.
(d) The html file should just demonstrate with a single link that calls the S_LOG() function with a placeholder for me to replace with the server URL, and any sample filename.
2. The goal here is for a site developed and maintained using static html only to be able, in response to a link click for instance, to silently create an empty file on the server by submitting a hidden form (or any other method that either uses GET or is otherwise invisible to the user).
3. Use of JQuery is fine (you can assume the latest available version), any other GPL'ed or unlicenced scripts like mootools etc. are also fine provided there is no issue in using it on a live site.

Welcome to the MICE Guide for Singapore, a city guide written with MICE planners in mind. A global hub for both business and leisure, Singapore is a natural choice for meetings and events. With several, first-class convention centers, more than 150 hotels, and over 50,000 hotel rooms, it's not surprising that Singapore has earned a lengthy list of accolades for hosting meetings. That said, Singapore continues to reinvent itself with new event venues and attractions, such as the Marina Bay Sands, a hotel, museum, retail, dining, and, entertainment that has 250 meeting rooms and Southeast Asia's largest ballroom.
Headlining Singapore's large-scale facilities is the impressive Singapore EXPO. With 123,000 square meters of MICE area and MAX Atria, its most recent wing (opened 2012), providing additional meeting facilities and lush green spaces, the Singapore EXPO is well suited to hosting presentations for over 9,000 people in its largest theatre; seminars for over 4,500 people in its largest classroom; and receptions for up to 6,760 guests in its largest banquet venue. Located five minutes from the airport and within walking distance of two business hotels, Capri by Fraser at Changi City and Park Avenue Changi Hotels & Suites, the Singapore EXPO is understandably a favorite choice for business events of all kinds.
Singapore's latest development, the 2,561-room Marina Bay Sands, opened in 2011 with the capacity to accommodate 2,000 exhibition booths, 45,000 delegates, and up to 6,000 guests banquet-style (7,000 for a staged performance or 11,000 theatre-style). Meanwhile, the Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre offers 60,000 square meters of exhibition and meeting space in the heart of downtown and the marina area, the center has 40 flexible and customizable meeting rooms, professional staff, and world-class amenities. Elsewhere, Raffles City Convention Centre offers planners even more choice within the city, while the venues at Resorts World Sentosa will astound planners and groups alike.
From luxury resorts to historic properties, Singapore offers a wide range of hotels that cater to every visitor and are clustered into 6 major precincts for convenience and transportation to convention centers and local attractions and food and beverage options. Most hotels offer fully equipped business centers, meeting rooms, Internet access, and more. The legendary Raffles Hotel, a national monument since 1987, offers more than five venues suited to events ranging in type and size. Dominating Singapore's Marina Bay precinct is the Suntec Joint Marketing Alliance, comprising the Mandarin Oriental Singapore, Pan Pacific Singapore Hotel, and Marina Mandarin Singapore, the Conrad Centennial Singapore, Ritz Carlton Millenia Singapore, Swissotel the Stamford and Fairmont Singapore and accounting for more 5,200 hotel rooms.
The Orchard Road precinct also offers a wide range of hotel properties from international chains including the very first Shangri-La Hotel property in the world, Marriott Hotel Singapore, St Regis Singapore, and the Grand Hyatt Singapore.
Sentosa Island, located 15 minutes away from the city centre, boats a collection of over 3,000 hotel rooms across 15 properties including W Hotel Sentosa and Capella Hotel Singapore.
Supported by a wealth of unique and unconventional MICE social venues, the most recent being Gardens by the Bay, Singapore Sports Hub, S.E.A. Aquarium, and River Safari, Singapore proves that business and pleasure can in fact be mixed. The city is compact, efficient, multi-cultural, warm, and hospitable, with a wide range of green meeting spaces and group experiences, in addition to its convention venues.
Luckily for international travelers, Singapore is one of the most accessible cities in Asia with very few visa requirements. The compact city also makes it easy for guests to reach any and all meeting venues and attractions with its clean, inexpensive, and efficient transportation system. An extensive network of trains, buses, and taxis connect travelers to nearly any point in the city, with public transportation fares often averaging under SGD$2. Getting to the city itself is also hassle-free, thanks the Singapore Changi Airport, located about 30 minutes from downtown. Operating flights to over 250 cities in more than 60 countries and territories worldwide, Singapore Changi Airport is consistently ranked as one of the best in the world.
For the 12th consecutive year, in 2013, Singapore maintained its position as Asia's Top Convention City, according to global rankings by the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA). According to the Union of International Associations (UIA), Singapore was the Top International Meeting Country for the third time in its 2013 rankings, as well as the Top International Meeting City for the seventh consecutive year. Meanwhile, at the World Travel Awards 2013, Singapore was named Asia's Leading Meetings & Conference Destination.
The first mention of Singapore can be found in a Chinese written record dating to the 3rd century, when it was described as "Pu Luo Chung," or "island at the end." Though modest, the description centers on what would hold great importance for the nation in years to come. Its location at the tip of Malay Peninsula made Singapore a hub for sea routes and trade throughout the centuries. In 1819, Sir Stamford Raffles first established what is now modern Singapore as a British trading post, spurring population growth from 150 to 10,000 people in just five years.
Today, Singapore continues to thrive with over 5.4 million residents and English is a commonly spoken language. Though it is the smallest nation in Southeast Asia at 710.2 square kilometers, it remains the largest of the four remaining sovereign city-states in the world. It also holds the impressive title as the third wealthiest country in the world in terms of GDP per capita, thanks to a solid economy based heavily on manufacturing. It is also the busiest port in the world with over 600 shipping lines that coordinate the tankers, container ships, and passenger liners filling the surrounding waters. Singapore has also been ranked as the Top city in Asia for safety and quality of living and is consistently ranked as the world's easiest place to do business by the World Bank.
For visitors, Singapore's bustling waterside has many advantages as well. Actually made up of a main island with 63 surrounding islets, Singapore has plenty of scenic recreation options that groups can enjoy in the year-round warm climate. Dotted along the historical Singapore River, groups can board a traditional bumboat rivercruise and travel down the river and discover countless options of restaurants, bars and attractions that make for a unique experience. Groups can inhale the sweet aroma of the 20,000 orchid plants on display at the Singapore Botanic Gardens, as well as enjoy the Gardens by the Bay, a superpark that houses some 380,000 plants in conservatories and three waterfront spaces, including Flower Dome, the world's largest column-less greenhouse, which replicates the cool-dry Mediterranean climate.
In addition, groups may delve into the vibrant culture and heritage of Singapore at the National Gallery Singapore (slated to open at the end of 2015); the National Museum of Singapore, the largest and oldest museum in the country; and explore over 7,500 20th-century Singapore and Southeast Asian art pieces, including those by pioneer artists Liu Kang and Georgette Chen. At the Asian Civilisations Museum, guests can see batik, embroidery, and beadwork collections along with silver and porcelain artifacts representing the rich tapestry of Asian cultures.
Visitors can easily explore these diverse cultures on the streets of Singapore as well. Shop for silk saris and wood carvings on the streets of Little India, or enjoy local favorite food at the Chinatown Food Street or experience a traditional chinese tea ceremony in Chinatown. The neighborhood of Kampong Glam was once the seat of Malay royalty in Singapore. Today, guests can explore its many historic attractions, including the Malay Heritage Centre and Sultan Mosque, the largest mosque in Singapore. In the Joo Chiat district, visitors can be immersed in a unique culture distinct of the Peranakans. A culture unique to this region is a blend of Chinese and Malay tradition that is best experienced through their food, language, and fashion; a rich heritage preserved from the 17th century to this very day.
When the sun sets, the streets of Singapore take an entirely different character. Savor hawker food at Satay by the Bay or the open-air Makansutra Gluttons Bay, or hit the dance floor at the Club Pangaea; or enjoy a bespoke cocktail experience at one of the many cocktail bars like Bar Stories, Enjoy stunning vistas of the city skyline at Lantern or KU DE TA while admiring the world-famous Singapore skyline. Chill out at Timbre, where a laid-back atmosphere attracts visitors of all kinds to enjoy live music nightly. Guests can even shop at any hour of the day, thanks to the 24-hour emporium, Mustafa Centre, which boasts some of the lowest fixed prices in Singapore. Orchard Road, voted as one of the top shopping streets in the world among New York's Fifth Avenue and Paris' Champs-Elysees, is home to nearly 800,000 square meters of high-fashion and mass-market retailers. Day and night, Singapore's varied attractions keep guests making memories.
All average costs based on U.S. Government Per Diem rates as published by the U.S. General Services Administration.
Singapore's tropical rainforest climate has no distinctive seasons, but it does create high humidty and abundant rainfall. Temperatures average 31°C to 23°C with only slight variations throughout the year; temperatures are generally highest in June and July.
Monsoon season runs from November to January, during which sudden, heavy showers can occur. Because of its consistent climate, any time of year is a great time to visit Singapore. To avoid the heaviest rains, visitors should plan a trip between February and October.

- - Will 35# CQR Fit PSC 31 Rollers? (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/pacific-seacraft/64595-will-35-cqr-fit-psc-31-rollers.html)
Will 35# CQR Fit PSC 31 Rollers?
I have a 15Kg/33# Bruce which fits fine. I bought a 35# Manson Supreme but couldn't get it to fit along side the Bruce. So now I'm thinking of adding a 35# CQR but want to make sure it fits before paying the shipping.
Does anyone else with a 31 have the 35# CQR? If so, what is your second anchor? A picture of the fit would be nice.
The 35 CQR fits great. You do have to wiggle it past the bobstay little on the way up but it locks in to the roller just fine.
Picasa Web Albums - Adam
I have since switched to a Spade. My second anchor is a Danforth 20H that lives on the pulpit. I'm not crazy about the mounting but haven't come up with a better solution yet.
PSC 31 Journey
Ditto. We use one and it fits fine.
Our second anchor is a Delta 25#, and our third (at the stern anchor locker) is a Fortress FX-16. I recently gave away our fourth anchor and rode, a Fortress FX-11, to a friend.
I would prefer to have a Bruce/claw-style as our second anchor, instead of two plows. I can't justify a Rocna/Manson at this time.
On our 31 ( 1988 hull# 26) we have a 10kg Bruce on the port roller and a 35lbs genuine CQR on the STBD roller. The CQR uses the Neptune Windless. I manage the Bruce by hand. No issue stowing either. The Bruce takes a bit of twisting to get past the bobstay but not a big deal.
"Patty Ann"
Daytona Beach, FL
The Island Lady, 1989, #56, has a 35 CQR on the starboard and a Bruce on the port. Both fit nicely. It has a Muir electric windlass to help with all the chain on the CQR.
The stern anchor that lives on the stern rail is a Danforth 20H ( certainly acts as a great break in an emergency).
