A drive shaft or propeller shaft is a piece of an automobile which takes power from the engine and delivers to the wheels. A drive shaft has to be strong enough to absorb the torque of the engine and lightweight to reduce the overall weight of the vehicle.
A drive shaft should be perfectly balanced and should spin equal to the torque coming out of the engine and the transmission for a smooth driveline performance. In the recent times most of the automobiles are front wheel drive, soothe drive shafts are between the transaxle and each front wheel.
Also Read: How Power Steering Works
In simple words, a drive shaft is a shaft that drives the vehicle. For example in a rear wheel drive, the rear wheel rotates. This rotation of the wheel is done through the drive shaft.
Driveshaft transfers torque from a remotely mounted engine to drive the wheels. Example, a front engine car with the rear-wheel drive will have a driveshaft to deliver the torque. A driveshaft is also commonly used in 4WD/AWD cars.On front wheel drive cars the driveshaft is not used. The transmission and differential are combined into one unit called a transaxle.
Working Of Driveshaft-
Watch the video below to understand the working of driveshaft-
While the importance of an engine to the running of an automobile is well known, it can be argued that the drive shaft plays an equally vital role. The drive shaft acts as a medium for transferring the power generated by the engine to the wheels, enabling them to turn. This, in turn, puts the vehicle in motion.
Also Read: How Power Steering Works
The force that is transmitted by the drive shaft is referred to as torque. Torque is basically the technical term to describe the force associated with a twisting or spinning motion. Because drive shafts have to endure conditions that could cause them to bend or break they are made to be "flexible". Flexible in this sense does not mean the ability to bend. What it speaks to is an allowance for some small degree of movement at the points where the drive shafts are connected. This is accomplished via what is known as universal joints, or u-joints. It is necessary for drive shafts to be straight and balanced. If this is not so vibrating will result. This can lead to damage to the components that are connected to the drive shaft. One example is the engine, which is turning at high speed.
The importance of the drive shaft is best appreciated in circumstances where it bridges the gap between inconveniently located components. This inconvenience can arise because of the component's long distance apart, or their awkward positioning/alignment

London Metropolitan Archives, RBE 27 – TD Jacobs
A back injury prevented me from going to Kew to finish photographing the French diplomatic correspondence, so I decided to do a prospecting trip to the London Metropolitan Archives instead. I was in search of sources relating to the Lord Mayor's banquet and procession, and anything pertaining to ambassadors who attended these events, and were sometimes entertained at the expense of the city.
Sources for the London's seventeenth-century central government are somewhat scarce prior to the Restoration. In fact, on the basis of my Master's research, I would say that the city records for Antwerp are far more complete. Nevertheless, there are some for London, spread across three primary series, the Court of Common Council 'Journals;' the 'Repertoires' of the Aldermen; and the 'Papers.' The 'Journals' and 'Repertoires' are generally in annual volumes – although the Common Council's decisions for 1649-1660 are in just one, indicating that less business was handled over the course of the Interregnum. The 'Papers' for the seventeenth century are spread across three files. Both the 'Journals' and 'Repertoires' for the period have been indexed by subject. The documents themselves, and the indices, are only available on microfilm.
The archive has both traditional microfilm readers, as well as two digital reader/print stations. I had never used a digital scanner before, but I found the software relatively easy to use – and a vast improvement over the old readers. The print function, however, was another matter entirely. The software was buggy and did not permit for enlargement of certain sections, nor would it print with contrast/brightness corrections. I did find a work around in that I could print entire pages if carefully framed, photograph them with my iPhone camera, and then manipulate the images on my computer. Time consuming, yes, but less so than attempting to make complete transcripts. With regard to the indices, I have not yet used them to find things in the 'Journals' or the 'Repertoires' but the entries are informative in of themselves. It seems that the kind of ceremonial/protocol information that I require is in the 'Repertoires,' while more general business decisions concerning the institution was covered in the 'Journals.'
Bear in mind that if you visit these archives, the access system is comparable to that of the British Museum and the National Archives at Kew. You will be required to produce two pieces of ID. One with your photograph (a passport or national identity card) and one with your address (a utility bill of some kind – paper, not digital!) You should also be prepared to spend a great deal of money if you intend to print items: 20 pence per sheet. This is steep, especially in light of the problems with the software, and the fact that there is a digital copier built into the program. However, it has been disabled, which is unfortunate seeing as how it would greatly reduce the time and effort required to place the records online.
'Performance, Royalty and the Court, 1450-1800,' RBE 26 – TD Jacobs
This year's annual Society for Court Studies conference was hosted by the Paul Mellon Centre for the Studies in British Art in London, and was organized via Birkbeck College School of Arts and Department of History, Classics and Archaeology. The theme was 'Performance, Royalty and the Court, 1450-1800.' I presented a paper on the subject of the Oliver Fleming, the Master of Ceremonies during the English Civil Wars and Interregnum. Apart from some good natured teasing about bringing 'Republican' research to a venue packed with royalists, I feel it went rather well. People were interested in the topic, and no one said that it had either been done before, or wasn't worth doing at all.
My research, however, is in the early stages. The results being reported by more senior historians were far more interesting. One of the best and most coherent panels was presented by three scholars from the Vatican Museum: Alessandra Rodolfo, Michela Gianfranceshi, and Camilla S. Fiore. The first covered receptions and ceremonies, while the latter two focused on the use of the city of Rome as an extension of pontifical diplomacy during the eighteenth century. It turns out that John Finet was not exceptional in having kept notebooks regarding precedents and disputes – he was only exceptional in early Stuart England. The Vatican's Masters of Ceremonies, meanwhile, had been doing so regularly. Far more detailed than Finet's yearly summaries, these records are now being used in a wonderfully systematic way within an integrated research program to reconstruct the reception of ambassadors and princes in the Early Modern, as well as the interiors of the palaces they visited on the papal tours that were arranged for them.
Other particularly interesting papers were those of Elisabeth Natour, Siobhan Keenan, Anastazja Grudnicka, and Hannah Rodger. Natour examined the use of sound and music in staging Early Modern monarchy – an exceedingly difficult area of study considering the relative scarcity of sources, and thus one that is often overlooked. Keenan's work will be of particular interest to people looking at Joyous Entries in the Low Countries, examining, as it did, the role of the city of Edinburgh in stating Charles I's Royal Entry in 1633, and the messages conveyed therein. As an amateur food historian, Grudnicka's investigations of dining culture at the Viennese Habsburg court of the 1590s was fascinating – particularly her findings regarding the variety of 'public' dining and the range of performance and observation. Rodger, in what was perhaps the best delivered presentation, covered her research on the English Chapel Royal and Laudianism. Her work greatly added to my scarce store of knowledge on that topic – from the basics (the Chapel Royal describes an institution, not a specific place) to the more in-depth (patronage networks and chains included poets, composers, andthe archbishop).
Lastly, Bram van Leuveren, M.A. Katritzky, and Aidan Norrie covered topics that were closer to my own area in New Diplomatic History. Van Leuveren covered the Franco-Spanish and Anglo-German marriage negotiations that took place between 1612-1615. The former was especially interesting to me – especially the somewhat disruptive receptions of successive Spanish ambassadors in Paris for these talks. Katrizky covered the incredibly transnational nature of 'Jacobean' masques – which often appear in my sources prior to the Interregnum. And finally, Norrie delivered a bit of a blow to anyone enchanted by the supposed first-hand account of Charles I's reception of Christian IV of Denmark in which the two kings and the 'masque' participants got roaring drunk at Theobalds in July of 1606. Chances are, it never happened. Or if it did, it was not a formally arranged 'masque' with professional or experienced performers so much as hastily arranged entertainment employing whoever was near at hand. A presentation on the dangers of using single source descriptions of court events was a good way to end what was a fantastic conference.
"The Favourite" – Perverse Parody? RBE 25, TDJ
I recently had the opportunity to see "The Favourtite." I did so with my normal degree of trepidation in viewing a period drama, and while it is by no means historically accurate, it hardly rises to the giddy levels of delightful parody found in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Most of the 'errors' are a simplification for narrative purposes. For example, Queen Anne's husband, Prince George of Denmark, did not die until 1708, but you would not know it from his complete absence in the film. Other, more putative 'mistakes' derive from misconceptions with regard to the historical record. You would not be blamed from assuming from her portrayal that Anne was something of a temperamental dullard, unable to govern effectively on her own. Edward Gregg, however, has established that this view of Anne is not reflected in the sources. Rather, this misconception seems largely the legacy of the highly prejudicial writings of her sometime "favourite," Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough, and it has been perpetuated via a certain degree of disinterest in her reign on the part of professional historians, who have been more interested in the start of the innovative Georgian dynasty, than the trailing end of the old Stewart regime.
At the same time, Anne's undeniably close and tumultuous relationship with Churchill – and the latter's cousin and rival Abigail Masham – has been the subject of considerable attention (and no small amount of speculation) by history buffs and historians alike. This is typical of the intense interest taken in the sex lives of early modern queens such as Elizabeth I and Christina of Sweden. And yet, the subject of Anne's sexuality is atypical – and far from settled. I think this is at least in part because while Anne was undoubtedly an early modern ruler in the strictest sense, her reign took place in quite a different time than that of her female predecessors. Valerie Traub argues that the difference was in "public access to the Queen's body in an era of growing explicitness" – a change in discourse. I think that is true.
However, I would argue that there is another difference that influences our current views as well, one which Traub touches upon but does not fully explicate. Neither Elizabeth nor Christina generated the same degree of contemporary press with regard to their personal lives. The reach and interest of the press – and government relationships to it – simply did not allow for it. We have, as a result of developments in printing and the reading public, regulations and assertions of freedom, far more popular printed material relating to Anne and her 'private' life. Thus the modern debate regarding the veracity of the accusations made against her has rather more fuel.
Moreover, I think there has been a change in attitude among historians and the composition of the profession that has in turn resulted in the eager (and deserved) utilization of such sources. As a queer historian – but not a researcher of queer history – I am acutely aware of my own interest in the recovery from the past of the full range of expression of sexuality and gender expression, and I know that I am far from alone in this. As always, historical debate is reflective of contemporary concerns of the people engaging in it. I love the idea of Anne – or any historical female figure for that matter – refusing to give up a relationship for the sexually empowering reason expressed by Olivia Colman in the film: "I like it when she puts her tongue in me."
That is definitely my bias, and I will readily acknowledge that the portrayal of Anne as a committed but closeted lesbian has little basis outside of the scurrilous publications spread by her detractors. Yet conservative critics of the movie who have decried it – for the nature of the dialogue and the sexual relationships depicted – as ahistorical 'raunch' and revisionism have overshot the mark. To begin with, explicit and even filthy (by our standards) language was not an anathema in early modern England. A simple word search on Early English Books Online will rapidly disabuse people of any notion to the contrary. Printed song and ballad sheets – which by their very nature were intended for widespread public consumption – about genitalia and sex abound. "The Female Auction," a satirical ballad from 1700, contains bawdy lyrics about prostitutes living at the "Sign of the Dildo and Bell." And if late seventeenth-century of residents of London didn't know what a dildo was when lauded in song, they always had the opportunity to examine one in person. William Chaloner is remarkable in this regard because his contemporary infamy derived from his career as a counterfeiter, not his career as purveyor of *ahem* items of an intimate nature.
And yet perhaps the problem with the debates on Anne's sexuality extends further than our ignorance of the past. Maybe they have been further complicated by our ignorance of the present. In our contemporary discourses on identity (both gender and sexual), its expression, and relationships, we continue to use either/or frameworks for analysis and description, even as we recognize that they are not reflective of actual human behavior in general, or the evolution of individuals across their own lifetimes. When applied to the past, these limited constructs may be compounding the problem. Indeed, one of the narrowest critiques of the fictional Anne in "The Favourite" is that the actual Anne had a devoted husband and numerous pregnancies, indicating that she was engaging regularly – if not enthusiastically – in heterosexual (presumably vanilla) sex. However, monogamy has never had the corner market on fulfilling, let alone physical, relationships, and human sexuality comes in a wide range of expressions. A present-day queer Queen Anne could enjoy having any number of things in her, up to and including a lover's tongue – as could a historical one.

Progress Report – RBE 24, TDJ
So I'm now two years in on a six-year doctoral research project, and I wanted to reflect on where I'm at, as opposed to when I started. When I initially considered the project, I thought that my work would be more obviously political in nature in terms of the focus in that I would look at the contentsof negotiations. My initial plan, in fact, was to zero in on the relationship between Spain and England in the period, and track how this evolved over the course of the 1640s and 1650s. Two years on, and my work is still political, but not in the more traditional form of political history. Rather than studying the contents of negotiations, I'm looking at the institutional and symbolic frameworks in which relationships were conducted, how these evolved, and how the parties concerned were constrained by them, or whether they were able to manipulate them to their own advantage.
This evolution in my research was the result of several things. Firstly, it turned out that there were historians in the process of examining Anglo-Hispanic relations, so I had to set that aside. But I had already started to collect sources for the period, and I was struck by a very practical matter that had arisen: the reception and security of diplomats. This then led me to the office of the 'master of ceremonies,' and what that entailed. And this appeared to be a hole in the literature, certainly for the period I was interested in. So I redirected myself to identifying what this office consisted of in the period prior to the English Civil Wars, and moving forward from there. Of course, a problem immediately appeared – the state of the English government's records at the time – particularly during the 1650s. It rapidly became apparent that I would also have to use the accounts of diplomats themselves to determine what was happening, and – where possible – what they thought shouldbe happening.
My selection of these sources depended upon access and the weight of the players involved. I chose to use the Calendar of State Papers Venetian because it is easily accessed online, and the Venetian records are known to contain the kinds of details I was searching for. This meant that I could possibly use it to construct a basic timeline of events, that I would then use to locate what I wanted in the other sources. I ruled out sources from the Holy Roman Empire on the grounds that they would be much harder for me to access, and to process, considering my limited understanding of German. The same for the Swedish, Danish, and Russian. I selected the Dutch, French, and Spanish diplomatic correspondence because they appear to have been the key players in the international political struggles most relevant to England in the period. And – by happy coincidence- I can read these languages. I have decided not to include the Portuguese simply because of time limitations. Lastly, upon discovering that the British Library has copies of the Tuscan correspondence, and the extent of it, I decided to include this as well. The ambassador concerned was the longest serving member of the foreign diplomatic corps, and I hope that his letters will provide me an additional perspective.
Now, at the two-year mark, I have located my selected sources, and obtained copies or photographs of most of them. I need to make one more trip to Kew to finish photographing their copies of the French diplomatic correspondence, and I need to return to Den Haag one more time to finish collecting the Dutch correspondence. My plan for the next two years is to finish collection within two months, produce a draft analysis of the role of the Master of Ceremonies (from the Early Stuarts through to the end of the late Protectorate) and to spend the bulk of the remaining time systematically extracting the data I need from the sources I have gathered – a process that I have already begun in the last few months. I feel that this achievable, and would set me up to begin analyzing my data and writing my thesis over the last two years of my contract.
One of my biggest worries – that my preoccupation with protocol and ceremony was either irrelevant or anachronistic – has been laid to rest. Irrelevant it is not. Following the regime change in the United States, events over the last two years have directed media attention to the importance of protocol and ceremony in conducting international relationships: from the setting of stages with flags, to handshakes, to participation in ceremonies, to clothing, to timing, to claims of diplomatic immunity and embassy privilege. People take notice of these interactions. They assign meaning to them, particularly when they do not accord with what is considered established practice.
I am now convinced that this was true of the past as well. And – moreover – that diplomats manipulated these practices to their advantage where possible. My certainty that I am on the right track only arrived recently, when I discovered a letter from the English Ambassador in Paris concerning his dealings with the ambassador of the King of Portugal, whose claims to that throne were being disputed. In March of 1641, the English ambassador was visited by a representative of the Portuguese ambassador, who asked him to extend the Portuguese ambassador "such courtesies and favours" customarily given to such men. In essence, his request was that the English ambassador would participate in the Portuguese ambassador's formal entry into the city. The English ambassador fudged, claiming
"that upon such occasions as this of ceremony, things were not so well regulated in France, but that there happened many disorders, and that therefore I had abstained sometimes from sending my coach, to avoid such inconveniences as might happen, by contending for the rank, there being Cardinals and others here in France who did not give place to any Ambassador: neither would the Ambassador of the King of Great Britain give place to them; that therefore I had excused myself to some Ambassadors upon the like occasion, and I hoped that this Ambassador would also excuse me"
He went on to tell the Secretary of State "The truth is that I was glad to make that excuse" in order to avoid interacting with the Portuguese until he had received instructions on how to conduct himself towards them.
Clearly, diplomats could – and did – consciously manipulate the symbolic framework in which such interactions took place. And, most interestingly, they would cite a lack of clarity and order in doing so. This is highly significant considering that I already have evidence that clarity and order were often in short supply throughout the 1640s and 1650s in London. So the questions remain: what changes were made, how did diplomats move within a fluctuating symbolic framework, and was the 'confusion' ever intentional, and to the advantage of the government itself?

Ambassadors in the public eye. RBE 23, TD Jacobs
Last week, I attended the conference "Addressing the Public Abroad: Strategies of Cultural and Public Diplomacy in the Early Modern Habsburg World (1550-1750)" which took place across two days at the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts. I presented a paper on "The Public Embassy of Alonso de Cárdenas" which in no way reflected the abstract in the program since I did not have the faintest idea as to what I was doing when I wrote it. No matter. I'm happy with how it turned out.
Of more interest were the other presenters. There was a wide variety of topics covered, but there were some definite highlights in my opinion. Ashleigh Dean presented a paper on the first Spanish embassy to China, and it turns out that the Spanish were a great deal more interested in establishing diplomatic ties than the Chinese, who brushed them off with a made-up bit of bureaucracy. Credentialing, it seems, did not work the same way at all in China – their uncontested position of dominance meant that it did not really matter in the least what petty little king-let you claimed to represent.
Veronika Hyden-Hanscho presented a paper on the dissemination of French fashion via diplomacy. This is a topic I'm particularly interested (I like clothing as a medium for messaging) but which I just don't have enough information on the subject in my own source materials to do a great deal with. However, following the ascendancy of French styles and the increase in portraiture from the mid-seventeenth century onwards, it turns out you can figure out what diplomats wore. And who resisted changes to standard dress. The Austrian court was not, it turns out, keen embrace the new styles – at least not in public.
Rocío Martínez López's paper on Maria Antonia of Austria was fascinating and tied in with my own research on the importance of titling, whether official or otherwise, and how status is signaled and claimed. She also enlightened me with regard to an episode in history of which I am vastly ignorant. The way that Charles II of Spain is often presented makes him appear entirely passive with regard to his choice of successor – not so.
I suppose, however, that the value of conferences is largely in the talk that takes place between talks. During the question and answers, Helmer Helmers made it clear that I should be careful not to merely say someone did something 'for profit' – as that does not really explain anything. Quite a just critique. Over coffee, Dorothea Nolde cleared up a complete mystery regarding my French ambassadorial correspondence. And over dinner, Enrique Corredera Nilsson forced me to consider the role of distance in relation to the network of ambassadors. When it takes three months to send a letter, and a further three to obtain a response, then micro-managing an embassy is simply not a realistic prospect. Something that he then confirmed during his presentation on Bernardino de Rebolledo's defence of Catholicism in Denmark. It is reassuring to know – after a fashion – that if I do not find something in my correspondence with the Consejo de Estado, that does not mean that it did not happen. It may simply mean that the ambassador did not report it to them directly.
Many thanks are owed to Klaas Van Gelder for the organization of a conference that I (and my students) will reap the benefits of for many years to come.
The Grinch who stole Christmas? RBE 22, TD Jacobs
The English like to party – as anyone who has watched The Crown on Netflix knows. This was also the case in the mid-seventeenth century, during the English Interregnum, as noted by the Spanish Ambassador in London, Alonso de Cárdenas. In his Relacion de las Fiestas, que hizo en Londres, a 16 de Henero, 1653, held in the collection of Merton College library in Oxford, he describes a feast he held in honor of recent Spanish victories. In it, he writes about the throng of visitors that crowded into his house for celebration, and the dancing that lasted until midnight, causing the temperature to rise so much so that
"it caused fainting in some people, and whoever was able to, broke the windows, for the fresh air to enter. They didn't notice the damage, because they valued the relief more."
Nor did they stint on the food,
"everyone liked, gave, and took, and with regard to these three everything without speed, nor limit […] progressing until the day. The English like to enjoy feasts, and festivities, and having such an occasion, it does not seem to him that they should lose it."
As an American, I learned very few things about Oliver Cromwell in school. I was taught, in fact, three things – two of which are patently untrue, and one of which I am – after a fashion – researching. First, that he killed the king of England. Second, that he would have succeeded in establishing a Republic in England had he not decided to adopt the trappings of a king cum dictator. Third, that he was a mean old man and religious fanatic who abolished Christmas and turned England into a joyless country the likes of which Ebenezer Scrooge or Kazran Sardick would consider a veritable paradise. This last 'fact' is the subject of this research blog, which is dedicated to all of my furry, green, Seuss-like friends complaining that now that Halloween is just past, people are already banging on tong-tinglers, blowing their foo-flounders, and crashing their jang-jinglers.
Parliament began to regulate English holidays in the 1640s, and published its first act 'banning' Christmas in 1647:
Resolved by Parliament,
That the Markets be kept to Morrow, being the Five and twentieth day of December, And that the Lord Mayor, and Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, and the Justices of the Peace for the City of London and Westminster and Liberties thereof, do take care, That all such persons as shall open their Shops on that day, be protected from Wrong or Violence, and the offenders be punished.
Resolved by the Parliament,
That no Observations shall be had of the Five and twentieth day of December, commonly called Christmas-Day; nor any solemnity used or exercised in Churches upon that day in respect thereof.
This was well before Cromwell assumed the office of the 'Lord Protector' in 1653, or even before he had emerged as a strong man in the furor English politics during the Civil War. While he did ban the celebration during his invasion of Ireland, it was only after Parliament had done so in England. Moreover, it seems that people largely ignored the act of 1647 – even after Parliament had seen off the Stuarts. Writing on January 4, 1652, Lodewijck Huygens notes that it was Christmas of 1651 in London according to the Old Style calendar, and he went on to describe what members of the Dutch embassy did that day:
"we heard the sermon at home in the morning, although by order of this new government, the celebration of this holiday (which formerly was enormously popular) had been completely abolished. Nevertheless, we noticed that little heed was paid to this prohibition, for we saw that all the shops were closed and there were few people in the streets and scarcely any coaches. Parliament, the Council of State, and other similar bodies had assembled just as usual."
Indeed, there are numerous indications that the English intended to go on celebrating Christmas whether Puritan zealots wished it or not. For one thing, the government had to keep reminding people that it had been banned. The act of 1647 was reiterated in 1652, and then Parliament had to rapidly order its enforcement. The editor of the Weekly Intelligencer reported that on December 29, 1652
"concerning the suppressing of the solemn meetings, on the Day commonly called Christmas Day. It was this Day ordered, that the Lord Mayor be desired to take all especiall care that the Ordinance for the observation of other Holy-dayes be duly, and effectually put in execution, within the liberties of the City, and London, and to give protection unto all Persons that shall follow their lawfull callings in their shops, as well in these dayes commonly called Christmas Holy-dayes, as all other Festivals abolished by Act of Parliament, and to prevent, and to restrain all violent opposition that shall be made by any Persons whatsoever"
Huygens noted in his above journal entry that while going about the city, they had found a booklet entitled Reasons why Christmas ought to be celebrated. In fact, the subject of the Christmas ban seems to have been a popular one among London pamphleteers. And the defense of the holiday could also provide opportunities to criticize the government and the Civil War in general, as was the case with another such pamphlet, published in 1652, and titled "The Vindication of Christmas, Or, His Twelve Years Observations upon the Times." In it, Father Christmas describes his travels through London and the countryside and the people he encountered, claiming that
"my best and freest welcome with some kinde of countrey Farmers, was in Devonshire, where though both Armies had been with them, and given them several visits, insomuch that if the Cavaliers had taken their horses, the other party made bold with their Oxens; so that (according to the country phrase) great crock and little crock, all was ago; yet as soon as they spied me, they saluted me with much love and reverend courtesie."
Clearly, people were still celebrating the holiday, and there was even a concern that those who did not want to celebrate would face violence. But perhaps the best indicator of the true attitude among the general public towards the ban, was that even the rabidly anti-Royalist editor of the Mercurius Politicus took no small joy in reporting that in 1652, the impoverished Charles II, living in exile in France, "hath kept but a cold melancholy Christmass, without any sports save a Game at Cards, and a dinner that he had on Thursday."
Whether there were actual prosecutions or persecutions of those celebrating or not celebrating before the Restoration, I do not know. But the ban remained the ongoing subject of some mirth in the press. The Grand Politique Post in January of 1654 reprinted a cheeky letter sent from Hereford stating that
"I am to inform you, that those in authority in this city, on Christmas Eve last, sent to all the Bakers in and about the city, to charge and prohibit them that they should bake no Pies on Christmas day; but whether for fear of burning or baking them too hard, I know not."

Saving Sources – RBE 21, TD Jacobs
I recently completed another research trip to London – this time to the British Library and the National Archives at Kew. I'm going to have to make further trips to Kew in order to obtain, among other things, the state files concerning relations with France in the 1650s. However, my reason for going to the BL at least once again in a few weeks is rather more interesting, and unexpected.
Sometime during the nineteenth century, an unknown historian or archivist – possibly Henry Duncan Skrine, or someone working on his behalf – made copies of the correspondence produced by two of the Florentine ambassadors to London during the seventeenth century. Namely, Amerigo Salvetti and his son, Giovanni Salvetti Antelminalli. The records (Add MS 27962: A-W) fill approximately twenty-one volumes (each in two parts, something that has been left out of the catalogue) and span the years 1616 to 1679.
There are quite literally thousands of folios. And they were copied by hand, which would have been a Herculean effort – maybe even a lifetime's work. I'm photographing them using my iPhone at a rate of approximately one volume every 1.5 hours. Considering the low lighting level in the Western Manuscripts reading room, and the inability to use a camera stand there, this is not a sinecure, but it isn't anywhere near the level of effort required to locate and copy documents in the nineteenth-century – of that I am certain.
Which makes the tragic gutting of Brazil's Museu Nacional in Rio at the start of September all the more obscene. I was thinking of that the entire time I was standing in London, clicking away. Undoubtedly, museums and archives would much prefer to have the resources to make professional digital records of all of the objects and documents they house. But they do not. The museum in Brazil apparently could not even afford a fire protection system, let alone a large scale digitalisation project. Nor are they likely to obtain the kind of funding required to make this possible. Some institutions, such as the British Library and the National Archives at Kew, are partnering with private companies to produce digitalized databases of their records. While this no doubt has led to an additional layer of protection against the devastation of fires, or floods, or earthquakes, I do not think that it has led to an increased circulation in knowledge – as I have written elsewhere on this blog.
Institutions such as the National Archives in Spain are digitizing documents on demand. The initial cost is thus borne by the individual making the request, and the document images are then placed online where they can either be downloaded for free or at a nominal fee. This piecemeal approach is better than nothing, but it may often remain cheaper for researchers to photograph things themselves rather than to make use of the archive's services. That is certainly the case with regard to the document series I go to London for. And who knows, the images I have may one day be important to someone other than myself. The Museu Nacional is now soliciting photographs of its collection from the general public in order to attempt to preserve something of it for future generations. And what I would like to know is, why not do this before disaster strikes?
I have thousands of images of seventeenth-century documents. Are they the greatest images? Well, it depends on where they were taken. At Kew, and at the National Archives in Den Haag, camera stands are available to help ensure proper placement and image clarity. So naturally, those photographs are better than the ones that I am able to take in the British Library. But even those are sufficient to share with other researchers. And indeed, historians working within the same periods do share image files – but haphazardly, and in private. Would it take so very much effort to set up a file sharing program via important research institutions so that such exchanges could be facilitated, and work made more efficient?
The more copies there are, the less fear there need be of losing such knowledge. And given the ease and speed at which an individual researcher can now copy files – time now measured in hours and days, rather than months and years – it seems to me almost criminal not to do so.

Bracketology Trust Builder: After a great start, Oklahoma now needs to pick up wins in Big 12 wins play
The path to the NCAA Tournament is tricky for the Sooners, Ole Miss and Lipscomb
The Super Bowl is over and conference races are starting to shape up. Though there are still a handful of weeks left in the regular season, the time is now for teams to start making a move toward that 68-team NCAA Tournament field, especially if they are teetering on the edge of relevancy this season. In this space, we aim to break down the teams rising (or falling) toward that goal.
|Stop me if you've heard this one before. Oklahoma got off to a great start this season, but is struggling in Big 12 play. The Sooners did the same thing last season and eventually made the tournament anyway. This season, however, the non-conference performance doesn't have the higher quality wins that last season's did. The Sooners best wins so far are against fellow bubblers Wofford, Florida and TCU. A 3-7 start in the league has put OU in danger of missing out of the NCAA Tournament, but there is plenty of time to recover and a schedule that provides ample opportunity for quality wins.
|The Rebels have lost four straight to put themselves on the bubble as we enter the back half of conference play. None of the losses are especially egregious – they are all Quadrant 1 – but two of them came at home and have to be seen as missed opportunities. A third was at Florida, which is an unlikely NCAA Tournament team at the moment. Three of the Rebels next five games are on the road, but the only one in which they are a likely underdog is at Auburn. This is a chance to get things turned back around in the right direction.
|The Bisons could be an interesting case for the committee if they become an at-large candidate. The only way this works for Lipscomb is to win out and lose only to Liberty in the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament. Liberty also has to win all of its non-Lipscomb games by then too. The Bisons won at TCU in non-conference play and beat another likely automatic qualifier in Vermont. Their only losses are by four points at Louisville, and rough night at Clemson, and a sweep by inter-city rival Belmont by a total of six points. The margin for error is small, but this could be a dangerous team in the tournament if it gets there.

Burnt by the Sun
Directed by Nikita Mikhalkov
Burnt by the Sun
Ingeborga Dapkunaite
Oleg Menshikov
Set in 1936, in the high summer of Stalinist rule, Nikita Mikhalkov's movie centers on a Soviet Army colonel (played by Mikhalkov) and the family group that circulates around him in an idyllic dacha. The idyll cracks when the state, in the person of a family friend (Oleg Menchikov), comes to wreak havoc; a work that began in the rustling spirit of Chekhov ends like a Scorsese picture, with thugs raining blows in the back of a car. What binds the mixture is Mikhalkov's love of all the stray details his camera catches; the movie may sound dispiriting, but it has an amazing ability to cheer you up. There is a full range of acting styles, from the florid to the cartoonish, and to the sharp-eyed, wholly uncute performance of the director's eight-year-old daughter, Nadia, who gazes at the unfolding events with the air of one who will never be able to banish them from her memory.

We have worked with countless Elk NJ homeowners over the years, and we have experienced up close the level of frustration many go through when their basement level is flooded.
So many homeowners keep valuable items and keepsakes downstairs. Others have spent a lot of money to finish their lower level so it can be used for much-needed extra living space. Then when water comes in and makes your basement unlivable, the task of cleaning all this up can seem daunting.
Here are just some of the many benefits you receive when you hire DryMaster:

We remain up to date on the most recent developments in the business, and we employ the most advanced methods and technologies to most effectively bring your lower level back to the condition it was in before you had the moisture issues.
Basement Foundation Repair: Elk New Jersey Specialists Seal Up Your Foundation Cracks
Many times, the water in your basement is the sign of something bigger - usually some cracks in the foundation, bad drainage, soil issues, or a combination of these factors.
Using our top of the line technology, we can easily narrow down the root cause of the leakage and take steps to seal it up so you will not have these kinds of problems in the future.
Elk New Jersey Mold and Mildew Removal
Removing the moisture and sealing the lower level are strong steps in the right direction, but there is often another step that needs to be completed; mold removal. Elk New Jersey homes that have had water in the basement for an extended period of time will often have accompanying mold and mildew growth.
In such cases, getting rid of the moisture and sealing up the foundation will not fully solve the problem - mold remediation could also be necessary. We perform an indoor air quality test to determine if there is mold in the basement. If so, we take necessary steps to remove these unhealthy toxins so your lower level is ready to be used once again.
Our waterproofing experts professionally install the best French Drains in Elk NJ
If you are experiencing a leaking, flooded or wet basement in Elk NJ, please call us at 877.477.6518 for a friendly free consultation. We are looking forward to servicing your basement and giving you the peace of mind that you deserve.

How does campus construction impact enrollment?
The University has 24 ongoing construction projects, and four of them are located where students are most likely to tour.
The University has 24 ongoing construction projects, and four of them are located where students are most likely to tour.
The UNC School of Media and Journalism's new admission process allows all students to apply, regardless of their GPA. The MJ-school just accepted their first class of applicants, with numbers consistent with previous years.
A response by UNC to the group suing the University for the affirmative action case about their admission practices is underway.
Both pre-law students and law admission officers attribute some increase in law school applications to the current political climate.
Find out why the innumerable amounts of middle schoolers wander UNC's campus periodically.
UNC admission decisions are released for the applicants who applied by the Oct. 15 deadline. Three admitted students share what they are looking forward to most.
The UNC Office of Undergraduate Admissions has gotten rid of deferment, the decision outcome that let Early Action applicants know if they were admitted, waitlisted or denied at the same time as Regular Decision applicants.
UNC is one of three universities being sued by Students for Fair Admissions.
Student Admissions Ambassadors have to tackle difficult questions during tours, and find a way to tactfully explain the recent events to prospective students and parents.
The group claims UNC considers race as a dominant factor and has not considered enough "race-neutral" alternatives.
"For every low-income student eligible for the Carolina Covenant, there are two middle-income students supported by other forms of institutionally funded aid."
Viviana Gonzalez is one of 18,862 undergraduate students at UNC. However, according to the Office of Undergraduate Retention, Gonzalez is one of 4,000 students to be the first in their family to attend college.
International students need a lot of help to get from home to UNC, but many of them said the University misses the mark. Everything that confuses the average incoming first-year is also an obstacle for international students — figuring out what classes to take, how to pay tuition, how to find friends — but for them, there is another layer of bureaucracy and unfamiliarity that UNC doesn't fully address.
The American Talent Initiative is collaborating with universities across the country—including UNC—to make their institutions more accessible for low-income students as they are still underrepresented at universities.
Public university systems in states like California and North Carolina are rejecting students that would have been accepted in prior years.
At a University where only 37.6 percent of students are people of color, and only 7.8 percent self-identify as Black or African-American only, it is common for Black students to feel uncomfortable or targeted by microaggressions in an institutionalized white space like UNC.
The Association of Public and Land-grant Universities is introducing a new project designed to encourage institutional cooperation and increase college graduation rates.
UNC has seen a 6 percent increase in applications since last year, a number that's been rising since 2005.
Every January UNC welcomes a new group of first-years into the Tar Heel community. Recently UNC released its early admissions decisions. Staff writer Kayla Boswell reached out to perspective first-years via Twitter to see what they were most excited about their first year at UNC.
Of the 30,000 out-of-state residents who applied to UNC this year, only a handful will be granted admission, and even fewer will be offered a financial aid package. This roadblock has prevented thousands of potential out-of-state students from accepting their offer of admission, and the Office of Scholarships and Student Aid has its hands tied by North Carolina policies. Full tuition cost in addition to room and board can cost upwards of $50,000 for out of state students attending UNC.

light on this unfamiliar concept. My topic will be about the controversy of vaccinations. I am going to research its history, the effect on your body, advantages and disadvantages. I am also interested in the reasons behind not getting vaccinations for your children, even when the parents could be willingly risking their child's health and other children's health. Furthermore, I wonder how doctors and professors view vaccinations and if they believe vaccinating your children is mandatory. The reason
required to receive vaccination to attend the university. This was made mandatory by the Jamie Schanbuam Act, which was passed in 2009. Jamie was a rare survivor of the disease who attended the University of Texas in 2008 (Hamilton). The most recent incident with this disease and college students was with a student by the name of Nicolis Williams at A&M University. Nicolis was a 20-year-old economics major, and was also an off campus resident who had not received the vaccination. Williams died within
effects like fever and fainting fits (Diep 2). However, nobody—not one single person—has ever gotten polio from the modern vaccine, and the pertussis vaccine no longer has such severe side effects (Diep 2). Other arguments that opponents use against vaccination are that: pregnant women shouldn't get vaccinated, vaccines aren't one hundred percent effective, babies are given too many vaccines at a time, and doctors recommend a plethora of vaccines because they make money off of them. However, as scientific
I would never make a suggestion to an individual about vaccinations. This decision is and must be made by the individual. There is no one that knows you or your kids better than you and typically your doctor has a protocol that they must follow by law, so if you think that your doctors always have your best interest at heart think again. Thats why I would never want anyone to make a decision regarding their health without first doing their own research on the subject. That being said this is a persuasive
Heather Lōse Professor Linda Lovell English Comp II 12 December 2015 Vaccinations and Their Importance Are vaccinations important and worth the risks? This is an age-old question that many people have asked since the creation of immunizations. Early last century, diseases like whooping cough, measles, and polio affected hundreds of thousands of people, killing thousands every year. According to the CDC, "More than 15,000 Americans died from diphtheria in 1921." A vaccine was formulated for this disease
My topic will be about the controversy of vaccinations. I am going to research its usage, the effect on your body, advantages and disadvantages. I am also interested in the reasons behind not getting vaccinations for your children, even when the parents could be willingly risking their child's health and other children's health. Furthermore, I wonder how doctors and professors view vaccinations and if they believe vaccinating your children is mandatory. The reason why I chose this topic is because
Summary Vaccinations have saved countless lives of children, adolescents and adults and have made diseases like small pox disappear. When a parent has vaccination hesitancy about vaccinations, do they fully understand what the vaccination is for, the safety of the vaccination, and the consequences that could happen if a child is not vaccinated? There is a great need in educating parents about vaccinations and how the vaccinations can prevent the spread of deadly viruses. Parents who are vaccine hesitant
Benefits of vaccinations The debate over vaccinations has been a prevalent one throughout the course of medical history. A vaccination is "the injection of a killed or weakened organism that produces immunity in the body against that organism" (vaccines.gov). Vaccines are designed to provide immunization to certain illnesses. People of all ages are encouraged to get vaccinations not only to protect themselves but also for the safety of the public. Most children in the United States are given vaccinations
Vaccination is widely considered one of mankind's utmost medical achievements. Diseases that were not long ago commonplace in society are now increasingly rare due vaccines. Despite this, the United States continues to allow vaccination exemptions for children on the basis of religious or philosophical beliefs. Today, the vast majority of states allow religious exemptions and a smaller, but still substantial, number of states permit the more troubling philosophical exemptions. The exemptions compromise
Vaccination vs. Non Vaccination has been a very controversial issue whatever side your on re-garding your opinion you must understand that in it will effect the health of you or your children . Even tho vaccinations are based on "choice" what if i told you that your child cannot attend a public school without vaccines. Even tho all 50 states require vaccinations for children entering public schools there is no real vaccination laws that exist . Vaccinations have cost the lives of people and have

1387 Totally different Music Genres Discovered On Spotify
As is the case in many non-Western nations, Western artists tend to keep up a constant position within the common music of Japan. Mariachi is a kind of musical group, originally from Mexico, consisting of no less than two violins, two trumpets, one Spanish guitar, one vihuela (a excessive-pitched, 5-string guitar) and one guitarrón (a small-scaled acoustic bass), but generally that includes greater than twenty musicians. The mariachi sound, known as son, is a mix of Spanish, native and African traditions and
differs from region to area.
Starting in the late Nineteen Sixties, electronic music loved an explosion of creativity, technological advancement, and recognition. This period of development would in many ways mirror the technological advancements in different branches of expertise like private computer systems and video games. After relocating to Germany, the Italian born musician Giorgio Moroder became a deeply influential proponent of what would grow to be digital dance music, specifically the subgenre known as Italo disco. Germany was a hot bed of musical experimentalism in the course of the late Nineteen Sixties and early 1970s, notably in the field of digital music. Teams like Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, and Can used synthesizers and different digital instruments to transform rock music into new kinds, inspiring many individuals across the world to experiment with digital music.
Borthwick, Stuart, & Moy, Ron (2004) Common Music Genres: An Introduction. Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press. Americana; the music in regards to the working class. The hopes and desires of the free American people. Driving rock that you can hear in bars and stadiums alike. Drum and Bass music has it's title for a motive. It focuses on the drum beats and bass line to carry the tune. It is barely totally different and more outlined than dubstep. With a sound you possibly can really feel in your bones, it draws from components of jazz, hip-hop, and even other EDM types like trance.
Metal is a subgenre of rock so coheed is technically rock just like a purple scrumptious apple is a fruit but will not be the same as a fuji apple albeit quite similar inside the apple type (or in music style). 2) Tropical House- This genre of music is certainly essentially the most calming. The title should be clear as to what kind of music this style gives; chill, glad, and relaxing music. Some Tropical Home artists embrace: Kygo, Matoma, Clear Bandit, Misplaced Frequencies, Years & Years, Filous, and Tez Cadey.
Model refers to characteristic features of how music (of a certain period, or inside some particular genre) is played or anticipated to sound, i.e. its precise musical content - the set of expected musical patterns, mannerisms, expressive gadgets it conventionally makes use of. "Baroque", "Classical", denote differing types that are recognizable by their very own attribute musical idioms. Jazz, while constituting a style, also qualifies as a mode (or group of extra particular styles), since it makes use of particular performance idioms and methods. "Sonata" similarly denotes both a genre and a specific type that is outlined by an anticipated formal succession of events or architectural plan. "Free-type" implies a composition shouldn't be constructed on any predetermined architectural plan or incorporates a diversity of arbitrarily chosen stylistic idioms.
Last summer, a survey by millennial perception agency" Ypulse surveyed 1,000 young adults. When asked about their favorite artists, many respondents could not reply, not via ambivalence, however as a result of, it was concluded, this era is eager about so many music genres and artists". It discovered that whereas millennials are enthusiastic about music (76 per cent inside the thirteen- to 17-yr-old bracket stated they would not be capable to last every week with out it), 79 per cent of 13- to 32-12 months-olds stated their tastes didn't fall into one specific music genre. Simply 11 per cent mentioned that they solely listened to 1 genre of music. It appears," Ypulse noted when it published its findings, that millennials are a genre-much less generation".
Rock will solely "return" if it develops stylistically into one thing that feels new and rebellious and groundbreaking again. This may increasingly by no means occur. Jazz, while still alive, isn't going to regain a dominant place in the music industry anytime soon. Same goes for ragtime, or marching band, or classical, or baroque. It is more probably that a wholly new fashion of music will come up. Music styles aren't cyclical.
Table 1 exhibits 4 methods genre complexes could also be organized by way of the intersection of boundary power and inner differentiations. High power and excessive differentiation describes a multi-centered system by which distinct subcultures interpenetrate. Excessive strength and low differentiation describes a single-centered complex, the place, inside a robust external boundary, genres fluidly combine in an unpatterned way. Low energy with excessive differentiation describes unbounded and uncentered house of subcultural mixing; multiple constellations that don't keep within a given galaxy.
Perhaps EDM was having a Kiss moment in 2016. This year, when essentially the most tangible evidence of popularity seems to be that Ultra 2017 has offered out of general-admission tickets, the scene resembles another interval when rock music was having an identity crisis: the postgrunge late-'90s. At the moment, rock was just as the Black Madonna describes the state of EDM in 2017: undead.
