Burgoyne and America's Destiny
Stickler for a point of honor, the General marched to defeat and helped to lose a war
June 1956 | Volume 7, Issue 4
Throughout the growing estrangement between Lord North's Administration and the American colonies, Burgoyne's was invariably the voice, however verbose, of moderation. Consistently in favor of accommodation and compromise, he received with mixed feelings the order to accompany the reinforcements for North America. It was an unwelcome posting, but "the point of honour" sternly counseled him to go without demur.
Burgoyne's contribution to the earlier stages of the struggle fought out at Boston and New York was negligible. Lacking an active command, he employed an ever-ready pen in a somewhat indiscreet exchange of letters with Charles Lee, and in the composition of grandiloquent proclamations more calculated to arouse the colonists to laughter than to persuade them to lay down their arms. Presently he was transferred to Canada as second-in-command to Carleton, and his soaring sense of strategy hit upon a plan he was confident would speedily lead to peace negotiations.
The aim of Burgoyne's design, which won official sanction, was to cut out the strongly resistant New England states from the rest of the country by simultaneous drives from the Canadian border and up the Hudson from New York, the point of junction to be at Albany. It was a plan that looked good enough on paper, although it completely ignored overriding considerations of time and space, as well as the difficulty of maintaining touch between three widely separated forces with the elementary means of communication then available. The only mistake of which Gentleman Johnny was guilty was that of dwarfing a grandiose conception by trying to carry it out.
As the originator of the design, Burgoyne was given command of the force assembling at Cumberland Head, at the north end of Lake Champlain; another subsidiary force under General Barry St. Leger was to drive down the Mohawk Valley to join Burgoyne at Albany; Howe was nominated by Lord George Germain, the secretary for colonies and war, to lead the expedition from New York.
An old tale has it that a dispatch stating Howe's definite responsibility to co-operate never left Whitehall. As the outgoing mail was being got together—so William Knox, the undersecretary for the Colonial Department, subsequently told it—"Lord Sackville [that is, Lord George Germain, deputy secretary], came down to the office on his way to Stoneland, when I observed to him that there was no letter to Howe to acquaint him with the plan or what was expected of him in consequence of it. His Lordship stared and [his clerk Christopher] D'Oyly started, but said he would in a moment write a few lines. 'So,' says Lord Sackville, 'my poor horses must stand in the street all the time, and I shan't be to my time anywhere.' D'Oyly then said he had better go, and he would write from himself to Howe and include copies of Burgoyne's instructions which would tell him all that he would want to know, and with this his Lordship was satisfied, as it enabled him to keep his time, for he would never bear delay or disappointment."
Apparently the matter entirely slipped D'Oyly's mind. Since Howe marched off to capture—and be captured by—the strategically unimportant city of Philadelphia, it has been argued that my lord Germain, in his haste to get down to his weekend in Sussex, effectively wrecked any chance of Burgoyne's plan proving successful. Actually, Germain later received and approved Howe's plan for taking Philadelphia; George III concurred. It was the impractical dream of all parties that Sir William could seize Philadelphia and get back up the Hudson in time to give Burgoyne what aid he needed. Although he left a relatively small force behind him, Howe advised Sir Henry Clinton, commanding the New York garrison in his absence, to assist Burgoyne when asked. All the British generals were sanguine, Burgoyne perhaps most of all; all were in slow-moving communication with each other. But every plan moved forward, as plans will, more slowly than expected—Howe toward the Delaware Capes, Burgoyne down from Champlain, St. Leger toward Fort Stanwix, Clinton toward the Highlands and the dream of reaching Albany. In their apologias, long after the defeat, the gentlemen's optimism turns to bitter explanation. The impossible, it then seemed, was expected of all of them.
Profoundly confident, Burgoyne set about his plans. He had the lake navy used the year before by Sir Guy Carleton in the inconclusive Champlain fighting of 1776, plus certain ships captured from General Benedict Arnold after Valcour. He had a field train of 42 guns. In his command were British infantry to the number of 3,724, Germans numbering 3,016, a small force of British and Hesse Hanau artillerymen, a few Canadians and Tories, and 400 Indians. In all the force was over 7,000, experienced and well disciplined, saving in this latter regard only the aborigines.

Abbey Road's Guide To Glastonbury 2015
Tuesday, October 13, 2015Whether it's as a recording studio, live music venue or for mastering, here's a brief list of some ways in which this year's Glastonbury headliners have made use of Abbey Road Studios over time, as well as a rundown of some of our favourite acts playing the main stages this year.
Sure to be a sing-along favourite on Sunday, Lionel Richie's easy-listening hit "Easy" as part of the Commodores was mastered for UK release on 7" single in 1977 by Abbey Road for the Motown Record Corporation. Abbey Road Studios would go on to master a series of Motown records for UK release throughout the rest of the 1970s.
A few years before they received more mainstream success in the mid-1980s, The Waterboys' eponymous debut album released in 1983 – that eventually got them signed to Island Records paving the way for things to come - was mastered at Abbey Road. Later, during the mid-1990s, one of Motorhead's earliest and rawest releases 1975's "On Parole" was also digitally mixed and remastered by Abbey Road engineers.
Most of Belle & Sebastian's album output from the 2000s (right up to their most recent release "Girls In Peacetime Want To Dance" earlier in 2015) was mastered at the hands of Abbey Road engineers, as were various releases by the Chemical Brothers, and the past 10 years have also seen Paul Weller, Alabama Shakes, The xx, James Bay, La Roux, Ella Eyre and Gorgon City all stop by to do live performances and interviews in the Studios.
Below is our pick of this year's top headliners and up and coming acts, all of who have passed through our doors at one point or another to record some incredible studio works.
Florence + The Machine
Florence + The Machine recorded large parts of their breakthrough 2011 album "Ceremonials" at Abbey Road Studios, including live footage from recording for the video for single "What The Water Gave Me." They'll be headlining the Pyramid Stage on Friday night.

Since then, he has been a professor at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, Mass., and at Boston Univ. Medical School. He shared the 2008 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Martin Chalfie and Roger Tsien for their discovery and development of the green fluorescent protein (GFP). Shimomura is credited with being the first to isolate GFP (from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria ) and to discover that the protein glows bright green under ultraviolet light. GFP's use as a biological marker for particular characteristics has made it one of the most important tools in contemporary bioscience. The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 6th ed.

text: Touching Boxer Shorts Makes Ladies Act as Sex-Crazed as MenErin Gloria Ryan3/04/14 5:45pmFiled to: sexscienceriskrewardunderwearboxer shorts1148EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkAnyone who has ever watched patrons of a strip club or seen Magic Mike (or completely overwhelmed their sensory receptors by seeing Magic Mike at a strip club) knows that sex — and the desire to have it — makes people do stupid things. Just how stupid, though, depends on a person's gender and their proximity to things that make them think sexy thoughts. AdvertisementOver at Scientific American, Kathleen Vohs argues that, for a combination of physical and social reasons, men as a population tend to want sex more than women. That's because, Vohs explains, men think of sex in terms of short-term reward (physical: imminent dick pleasure explosion social: all his bros will say, look at this cool sex-having dude!) whereas women tend to think of sex in terms of long-term risk (physical: pushing baby out of birth canal after 9 months of varied degrees of discomfort social: look at that awful sex-having woman!) Researchers in Belgium designed an experiment they hoped would reveal where people's response to sex switched from "long term risk aversion" to "short term reward seeking." Or, as noted science philosopher Christina Aguilera put it: "My body's saying 'Let's go.' But my heart is saying no." Participants were shown sexualized images and then asked to complete an exercise that assessed their willingness to engage in risky pursuit of short-term reward as well as their willingness to pay more for items they wanted. Researchers found that men threw caution to the wind when they were simply shown images of sexy lady stuff like bras, demonstrating a willingness to spend more money on things after breasts' existence was merely hinted at. Women were a little tougher to crack, remaining unswayed at the image of men's boxer shorts. AdvertisementBut when women were allowed to touch boxer shorts, all bets were off. Or, "on," rather. Turns out, both men and women got less long-term risk averse when they're actually touching the underwear traditionally worn by the sex to which they're attracted. Vohs concludes,Women and men's motivations are more the same than different. [...] Men can easily shift into reward mode in the presence of sexual stimuli, whereas reward mode comes online when women connect sex to emotions (through touch). Once the reward aspect of sexual desire has been activated, though, men and women once again are more the same than different.My quibble with this is that the Scientific American write up tries to paint "touch" as something that is related more closely to a woman's "feelings" than other non-emotional stimuli than sight. The last time I checked, touch is a pretty physical way to be stimulated. If touching something is the same thing as having an emotion about something, then can we start referring to masturbation as "emotioning oneself?" If you want to touch me in the emotions, write me a song about dicks and play it for me on a ukelele. Important takeaway: we're not so different, men and women. We put our pants on one leg at a time, we are all someone's child. And we all get stupid when underwear come off. SponsoredImage via sanneberg/ShutterstockReply114 repliesLeave a reply

Hi everyone. I've been offline for 2 days, with good reason though - I've finally moved out and am now officially homeless! Thursday was moving day, where we put most of our worldly possessions in storage. (And the moved was supposed to only take about 3 hours, and ended up taking all day). Today we drove for 8+ hours and are now somewhere in France. I couldn't get online Thursday (well actually I could have but just dropped down dead as soon as we got to the hotel) and well, here I am online finally at 1:30 AM on Sat. So, any pending questions and stuff...I'll try to get to tomorrow. Thanks for your patience!
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
My first and favourite meal in France is cold roasted chicken with that greenish mayo washed down with a cold beer.
Have a good rest, you deserve it , after all that driving!!!
Wishing you the best in your search for a new home! Somewhere in France seems a lovely place to be in the meantime :-)
(Oh, somebody else who is in Vancouver, as I am).
Maki, welcome in France (I'm curious about where you are and why you moved ;)) ! If you have any question, don't hesitate to ask me; wanted to be sure you know that.
What is this "greenish mayo" ? I'm French, and our mayo is yellowish (despite the American one is whiter)... a little bit interrogative.
Good luck for your home hunt (are you searching for a rental or something to buy ?)
I have not moved anywhere yet. We are considering many options, and this Tour de France is just one part of that.
When extra virgin olive oil is used the mayonnaise can be a bit greenish, not saying all the mayonnaise in France is that way...but i've had some pretty strong olive-oil flavor mayonnaise esp. in the Provence
Thanks for your offer to help! If I have questions I will be sure to ask :)
Hum... Maki's right about the mayonaise, my mum use a greenish virgin olive oil to make it, and it can show in the mayonaise.
The other kind of mayonaise that can be green is the one with parsley in it I think, but otherwise I don't see what it can be ^^p
Anyway, good luck with you search Maki !
Hope you have fun on your trip.
How exciting! Two for the Road! Good luck and I hope you find just the right place.
Good luck with your future home search. Don't get stressed about it.
good luck Maki! :D

Thank you all for your well wishes! The weather is great - sunny, around 15 degrees C. We are here for 2 weeks (rented a gite) so I have a kitchen - will try to put together some bentos, or at least some onigiri! (I brought my rice cooker ^_^;)
Being "somewhere in France" sounds fantastic. Happy exploring the possibilities!
Have fun and good luck on your Tour de France and whatever comes next! :)
Good luck Maki san. Hope you'll get settled soon.
Good luck with finding a new place!
Oh somewhere in france?! Sounds great! Definatly good luck on the house hunting!

There was one huge mistake made, we cannot launch in March! I still have to clear two more hurdles with the launch site BEFORE we apply for the Experimental Permit from the FAA! Chrestina got us good with that one! Hopefully we can get enough clearance to start the application process in two weeks and that's optimistic! As well the FAA has a lot of time to play with our application. A better date would be around July-August hopefully. Monroe Can you edit the headline to correct this for us? _________________ Today's the day! We go into Space! |

Mercantilism was an insidious economic theory that held Europe in its thrall in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. The mercantilists decreed that a nation's economic success could be measured by its stockpile of gold and that the way to make the pile higher was to encourage exports and restrict imports. Adam Smith routed the mercantilists in Book IV of the Wealth of Nations (1776). His lesson was clear: Open markets and trade are "goods," not "bads."
The war, alas, is not over. Mercantilism is back. Its adherents use new lingo and make slightly different arguments-they hoard jobs, not gold-but their poisonous creed is in essence the same. It is that a nation can enrich itself by boosting exports and chasing imports away. Mercantilism is behind the campaign to make the Chinese revalue their currency upward. The preposterous notion here is that America would be enriched if Chinese apparel cost a little more.
Three developments have converged to put Adam Smith-style free trade on the defensive. First, central banks-led by the Federal Reserve-have begun to mop up a huge liquidity overhang. Consequently, global growth has decelerated, and according to the global composite leading indicator series published by the Organization for Economic Development it will continue to moderate. Second, the U.S. trade deficit will hover at record levels for at least the next two years. Third, China has increased its "contribution" to the U.S. trade deficit from 9.4% of the total in 1990 to 24.4% last year.
Washington's modern-day mercantilists believe trade deficits can be managed by altering exchange rates. Therefore it's not surprising that China's currency, the yuan, is in the crosshairs. According to the Washington consensus the yuan is undervalued. This allegedly makes our imports from China artificially cheap and our exports to China artificially expensive. To level the playing field, the managed traders recommend an upward revaluation of the yuan. This solution has broad support. The Bush Administration wants it, the China Currency Coalition wants it, and Senators Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) want it. They have a bill, up for vote in July, to slap an across-the-board 27.5% tariff on Chinese imports if China fails to revalue the yuan within six months.
Is the yuan really too cheap? Since June 1995 the yuan/dollar rate has been set in stone at 8.28. Now adjust the nominal exchange rate for inflation rates in China and the U.S. If inflation in China has been less than in the U.S., then the real value of the yuan would have fallen relative to the dollar and China would have become more competitive. That is, there would be some logic to the Schumer-Graham attack on the exchange rate.
As it turns out, during the last decade the real value of the yuan has depreciated by only 2.4%. It's not surprising that the Cleveland Fed concluded that: "Overall, movements in China's real exchange rate since 1995 have not given that country a trade advantage relative to the U.S. or, for that matter, to China's other key trading partners." It's clear that China stands accused on false charges. It's not the first time, nor will it be the last.
This brings us to another question. Would the legislation proposed by Senators Schumer and Graham be legal? It would clearly break the World Trade Organization's rules. Among other things, the U.S. would trample on China's Most Favored Nation status under the WTO treaty.
But members of Congress don't seem to give a hoot about breaking WTO rules. Just take the antidumping amendment of Senator Robert Byrd (D-W Va.). Senator Byrd slipped it into an agricultural appropriations bill in 2000, and supposed free-trader Bill Clinton signed it into law. The Byrd statute allows U.S. companies to file antidumping petitions, have tariffs imposed and then divide up the loot. The WTO recently ruled the Byrd amendment illegal and authorized other countries to hit the U.S. with retaliatory tariffs unless Congress repeals it.
Not surprisingly, the yuan revaluation proposals remain silent on how they would make China better off. During the last decade China has avoided the Asian financial crisis of 1997-98, grown at over 9% per year and suffered less inflation than the U.S. Why? Because it had a fixed yuan/dollar exchange rate of 8.28. A revaluation of 27.5% would throw all that overboard and generate at least a 20% deflation in China, among other things.
I smell a nasty trade war and a consequent weakening of trade-led economic growth. All those risk-oblivious speculators borrowing at low rates to invest in high-yielding junk and emerging market bonds will be deep trouble. You should go the other way. Sell junk and emerging market debt. Buy Treasuries.

It was hard for me to find a purpose as a third class at the beginning of this semester. I was running everyday and improving my race times (I'll get to that later), but I was having the most trouble finding my place in the military chain of command. It is hard not to just fly under the radar and stay quiet as a third class. Your life changed from being constantly watched to not being watched at all (this happens in only one month's time). My 4/c was having some intercompany issues and through counseling her, I found my purpose as a third class.
I realized that the 2/c and 1/c serve as the ones to enforce the rules, but the 3/c are around as the middlemen. 3/c cadets are supposed to build up the 4/c, be their points of contact, their role models, and their advice givers. I now realize how important we are to the 4/c and that we can really make their day by offering a few positive words in passing. It is amazing how much of a difference a few kind words can make.
Cross country is coming to an end, and this season has been really surprising. I've shaved almost 3 minutes off of my 8k time and my current PR is 27:10. I placed high enough on the team to qualify for the Division III race in November!! I had no idea I was capable of hitting those times and now that I know what I can do, I'm setting my goals even higher. I'm hoping that this track season I will be able to break 15:20 in the 5k and 4:30 in the mile.
Other than that, life has been pretty normal here. Life doesn't change too dramatically on a day-to-day basis…

Got a shiny Swalot.. Yippie.. -.-
Answer to all the bad things in the world: Give up on trying to make everything better. Hence, accepting it for what it is. YOLO! <- Click the link and daw.. -.-
"If I had my way in DP, Ash would've hit the league with: Pikachu, Ambipom (his to keep), Torterra (Grass/Starter), Lucario (Ace), Chingling (Cute), Bidoof (Water-type) and Heatran (Fire-type)."
Spoiler:- GenVII Starter names speculation:
The second line is meant to be sarcastic.. Though there was a random trainer with a Heatran at the Sinnoh League..
Within the next few days, I'm going to be sending out a lot of 4 and 5IV Timid Froakie, half of which will have Protean.
My in-game name is Rebecca. I am a boy in real life. The number of people who think this is weird is a tad baffling to me.
I was doing a Wonderlocke, and my fourth Pokemon was this.
I wish I was making this up.
I like Metagross, and I used to claim it!
Spheal with it.
Spoiler:- 3DS Friend Code:
I got my first shiny off of Wonder Trade today while sending out byproducts of my Purrloin MM. It was a Charmander that had apparently been transferred from a 4th gen game and had a perfect IV in Special Attack. I don't know if it was hacked and/or cloned, but it was still a nice surprise.
Current shiny hunts:
SoulSilver BQ #13 - Slowpoke Well - 7400 REs | White 2 BQ #8 - Giant Chasm - 10000 REs | Platinum BQ #1 - Chimchar - 9000 SRs
White - Dragonspiral Tower (Phase 2) - 300 REs | Y Route Quest #3 - Route 3 - 3200 REs | Sun Trial Quest #3 - Brooklet Hill - 4500 REs
Latest shiny:
White - 3403 REs - 1/24/17
There's so many wars we've fought, and so many things we're not
But with what we have, I promise you that we're marchin' on
Yesterday I traded out a few of my 6IV level 100 competitive 5th gen team that I didn't want or need anymore, because their movesets, natures, and IV's are all wrong for this gen's mechanics. They are 6IV though so whoever get's them is lucky. And oddly enough someone got the competitive Dragonite that was from the same state that I live in.
I also got a Lucario and a Skitty with Pokerus that is spreadable, now I can actually spread pokerus and use it, something i've never been able to do before
I got all of my Pokerus Pokemon from Wonder Trade. I actually got a 5 IV Hidden ability Eevee the other day! I was going to evolve it into a Sylveon I hoped to use competatively, but I checked it again only to learn that it had a neutral nature. :/
My Shiny CardMost Recent Shiny:Mudkip - 419 Eggs
I have claimed Pumpkaboo!~and as you move along in your life, keep an open mind, and don't forget to believe in yourself!
While hunting for a shiny Tangela in the Friend Safari, I got, so far, 6 shiny Quilladin and 1 shiny Ivysaur. I kept one Quilladin and Wonder Traded away freely four of the others (traded one here, on serebii!), and it keeps coming back... So if you happen to get a shiny Quilladin with the OT Max and a crappy nature like Quiet or Modest, it possibly was mine.
And guys, it makes me sad to see all these "I got a shiny ___ the other day! I hope it's not hacked!". While it's normal to be afraid because you got a rare Pokémon freely, kindness exists, too. Believe the one who sent you that was kind enough to share its treasure to someone who expected it the least. Even if it's cloned or a duplicate, someone did send to you a shiny Pokémon through Wonder Trade for nothing in return.

I know they're not so uncommon but I was pretty surprised when I got a Phione.
Recently was breeding a HA Torchic for my buddy. Nabbed 5 eggs just because. All 5 had Speed Boost, so i traded him his and wonder traded the other four. Nothing really stuck out until I got a 5iv shiny Riolu which was a fantastic surprise. AND on the same night I hatched a shiny Ralts.
New Sig Under Construction
Yesterday, I Wonder traded away some pokemons and I got level 100 Zoroark. Pretty nice, even it's moves sucks pretty badly, but when he remembers and learnsfew new moves, it will be great add to team.

You can get pokemon with hidden abilities in hordes or using friend safari, not every HA is available this way yet unless you use Pokemon Transporter and Pokemon Bank and transfer Dream World Pokemon from Black and White. You shouldn't post this here, this isn't a game help thread

The very first time I tried wonder trade, I got a Lv 100 Latias that knew Charm and Heal Pulse, and had the other two attack slots empty.
Other than that, the only other interesting ones were a Misdreavus shortly after I started the game, which I have been breeding to put on GTS to pick up the other unobtainables, plus four charmanders and seven chespins. Rather ironic since those where to two starters I picked in-game... Everything else I got from WT is just there to either flesh out the Pokedex, or help me with the lottery.

Only shiny I have found yet:
after the sadness I felt having to release a hacked shiny Venipede, i've decided to give any shinies I get from wonder trade the benefit of the doubt from now on.
additionally, some time ago while chain fishing for a shiny Carvanha, i ended up with 6 shiny Goldeens. one I kept for myself while i wonder traded off 3 of them, giving the other two to friends. So if you've obtained a shiny Goldeen with the OT of Seldser, congratulations!

I just got a shiny Lugia via Wonder Trade. It's most likely hacked, and I don't really care whether it is or not. If anything I was worried at first because it was the first time I was wonder traded something so strange.

Implicit recourse and credit card securitizations: What do fraud losses reveal?
In this paper, we develop and test a model of implicit recourse in asset-backed securitizations. Fraud losses on securitized assets are generally incurred by the bank and do not affect the performance of securitization trusts, while credit losses do affect the trust's performance and are potentially borne by the owner of the securitized assets. Thus, the classification of losses as either fraud or credit losses provides a potential avenue of implicit recourse to manipulate the performance of securitization trusts. Using annual data from 2001 to 2006, we find that the performance of the credit card securitization portfolio is negatively related to fraud losses reported by the bank. We examine these results in light of the proposed Basel II capital rules and argue that a bank's incentive to provide implicit recourse will increase under the anticipated regime.
