Agra Culture
Yabba dabba doo! The era of Paleolithic dining is upon us. From Uptown and Edina (Agra Culture) to Lino Lakes (Paleos), from Loring Park (The Third Bird) and St. Anthony Park (Foxy Falafel) to downtown St. Paul (The Strip Club Meat & Fish and Heartland), the Twin Cities is suddenly pulsing with blood meals and coconuts.
What? Why? Well, here's the deal: 200,000 years ago, modern humans evolved, and immediately began groping for their cell phones. Not finding them, they spent 150,000-odd years eating nature and dying young; for the first two-thirds of the Paleolithic era humans usually died before their 30th birthday. Then came the Upper Paleolithic Revolution when folks figured out how to turn rocks into flint arrows and axes—the first disruptive technology, especially to the big, tasty megafauna of the time. Hereabouts, the North American Paleo-Indians ate all of the 9,000-pound mastodons stomping around the Great Lakes. In Europe, the latter Paleos domesticated some of the wild 3,000-pound aurochs, those massive mega-cattle famous from the cave paintings at Lascaux, and ate the rest into extinction, along with the steppe bison. Once all the megafauna were digested, we had to invent agriculture, in which evil "grains" forced us to be less than "bikini-ready for cruise season."
Certainly some will argue that before agriculture there were very few humans, and nowadays there are 7 billion (and counting!), but those madmen likely roam around eating blooming onions, eggnog lattés, and stuffed-crust pizza, and resemble Lon Chaney instead of Uma Thurman and Kobe Bryant, both of whom are associated with a paleo diet. (Other celebs attached to paleo include: Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Chris Pratt, Grant Hill, Jessica Biel, Megan Fox, Miley Cyrus, and Snooki!) Boiled down, the modern paleo diet is about eating grass-fed meats and wild-caught fish, uncaged eggs, non-starchy vegetables, and fruit, while avoiding all grains, dairy, legumes, and processed foods. In Minnesota today, paleo is everywhere, if you know how to look for it.
Agra Culture, which now has three locations, has all paleo menu items helpfully marked with a "P." The Arugula Detox salad is paleo, and actually pretty darn perky and tasty, with spicy little radishes uniting with the peppery arugula in contrast to the fat avocado and sweet beets and fresh apples. Other paleo dishes at Agra Culture: broccolini (nicely charred, fresh and spicy, with chili flakes), truffled mushrooms (tender and lovely), applesauce (thick and healthy), cauliflower tabbouleh (minced cauliflower is to paleo as tofu is to vegan—omnipresent), and every sort of protein from grass-fed beef (paleos avoid corn-fed animals, believing the meat is unhealthy) to wild salmon. It even has a paleo pudding (chia seeds) and a paleo cookie made from coconut and coconut sugar, and it's darn yummy! (Are you thinking: Getting sugar out of coconuts is well beyond the technology of cavepersons. Are you thinking: How are these prehistoric ovens powered, by a smart-alec bird running fast on a treadmill, in the manner of the Flintstones? Well then, congrats! You're the kind of buzz kill who will never dine successfully with Snooki. Don't you have a statistics reading group to join?)
The local restaurant serving the best of the last remaining North American megafauna, the bison, is The Third Bird. Chef Lucas Almendinger serves a bison steak that comes out remarkably fragrant, tender, buttery, and wild-strawberry red. He serves it with wood-grilled mushrooms, and the whole thing is a very Minnesota paleo plate, in the best way. Similarly, Heartland in St. Paul is as close as you can get to a foraged dinner without foraging: steelhead trout with red wine–braised sunchokes, a red wattle pork chop with Brussels sprouts, and the fattest and most lush heritage pork ribs you can imagine.
Of course, part of the paleo explosion stems from the biggest about-face in the history of American nutritional advice. Around 1980, the USDA and all standard American nutrition advice was to limit fat, especially saturated fat, like butter and bacon. Yet, obesity boomed. Then, in the last 15 years, everyone from the National Institutes of Health to the USDA has been amassing evidence that consuming fat has little to do with heart health, and so fat is back. That's part of the reason the local steak-house scene is on fire.
It's also why you can put together a grass-fed paleo meal at Burch Steak & Pizza Bar or a paleo snack on pig ears and roasted marrow bones at Libertine. But ears and marrow are just the tip of the animal, as it were. Offal—the hearts, livers, and other nutrient-dense organs that wolves and lions eat first after a kill—are also a big part of paleo eating. (Blood meals and coconuts, folks.) Seeking a great many hearts, one night I called ahead to the The Strip Club Meat & Fish, the St. Paul grass-fed steak and chophouse, to request some. Chef J.D. Fratzke threw together a mélange of duck hearts, duck livers, and duck gizzards with vinegared onions and peppers, which he said was inspired by books he's read on Israeli street food and Middle Eastern cuisine: It was unbelievably fantastic, silky, and zesty, with every bite different. Also, it made me feel like I could jump over a building, and solve a thousand math problems. My dinner date and I left talking about the strangeness of leaving a big meal feeling like this, energized, and not sleepy.
The paleo diet finds a lot of followers who come to it for the health effects. Foxy Falafel in St. Anthony Park has a little-known paleo menu these days. It was created, in part, because owner Erica Strait has an autoimmune disease, and she's seen firsthand the benefits of following a diet called the Autoimmune Protocol, which overlaps with paleo. Most days the restaurant serves a garlic ginger organic chicken bone broth, as well as salads topped with its house-made meats, like chicken, lamb, or turkey, prepared in different Middle Eastern influenced ways.
Of course, all of the aforementioned restaurants serve mainly non-paleos. To find the one restaurant in Minnesota where paleos are, in fact, not just the majority but everyone in the joint, one must drive north to Paleos. It opened in an unlikely strip mall in Lino Lakes last October, and the first time I mentioned it to one of my most city-hipster friends she told me she'd already heard lots about it—from her friend who ran an LGBT CrossFit studio. We drove north and discovered paleo cocktails! (Get the bloody mary, it's wonderfully dry; skip the fresh watermelon slushitini, the dash of coconut sugar didn't make it taste anything like a slushitini ought to.)
Paleos was clean and new, bedecked with giant color photographs of a primal landscape undamaged by agriculture, and absolutely jam-packed. I tried most of the menu. The appetizers are all pretty bad (pallid Ahi tuna, dull wild-caught shrimp) except for a very nice fresh guacamole, served with veggie sticks. The burgers were the hit of the night, beautifully blackened grass-fed beef patties, served bare on a plate, but vibrating with truly good flavor. I tried one topped with almond butter and a fried egg, and it tasted way better than that sounds—though you probably have to be a working mastodon-tracker to finish the thing. The burgers come with a choice of side, I tried both the cauliflower puree (consistency of mashed potatoes) and the cauliflower "rice" (consistency of loose broken rice) and can honestly report they were OK fine. (Take a pass on the pistachio-crusted pollock, which tasted like it lived and died in a steam table.) Paleos even had a few desserts—brownie bites made with ground dark chocolate and dates were delicious, and almond bars were serviceable—served in tiny portions, as befits a diet that tries to avoid sugar. Finishing my meal at Paleos, I sheepishly must confess: Once again I felt like a million bucks.
In fact, after dabbling in paleo for a few weeks, it confounds me to admit I'm very close to a convert. I still find the paleo phenomena silly, with its cult of coconuts and its ahistorical fantasy of a prehistory when everything we currently like to eat actually existed. (Fact: Paleolithic wild carrots were stubby and chewy roots; Paleolithic apples were nubs; Paleolithic grapefruits didn't exist, they're hybrids that came about after thousands of years of Chinese orange cultivation. I could do this all day.) Silliness acknowledged, whenever I spent a day eating paleo I felt nothing but great: energized, alive, just zippy. Intellectually, I still think the main thing actual Paleolithic people did was die of infectious disease and famine. Then again, I'm the sort of unlovable cynic who watches Game of Thrones and notices the sexy wenches' plastic surgery. But I can now honestly report I believe real Paleolithic folks died young, and I also wish there was an Agra Culture or a Paleos in every airport. So I suppose I'm a typical American—I want to be a vaccinated person living in a heated house driving 80 on the highway, and a caveperson, too. And I'm not alone, as the hundreds of currently available paleo apps for tablet and smartphone nicely proves.

14 thoughts on "Things I love #10, People Watching"
Prudence, Please write more like this one. I, too, am a watcher. I have years' worth of observations swimming inky and digital inside the files that crowd my mind. Loved the tummy line. Yep, I'd pull mine in for the lady. Force of habit. That and a matter of the Y chromosome.
Hi Anthony, yep, I too save all these delightful folks in my mind for when I need a new character. I hope they don't mind. sssshh, don't tell. 🙂
You definitely have a gift for taking a typical everyday event and turning it into a beautiful picture made of words. Marlaine used to read from an author just because she loved the way he wrote. She didn't really like the story very much, but the telling of the story was so skilled that the storyline became a minor part of the book. You've got the best of both worlds; great storylines and a very captivating writing style. I would love to see more of your people watching art!
Hi J, thanks for the kind words. Maybe I'll start a series on people watching, maybe two posts a month. What do you think? Of course, I would have to get out of the house and, well, people watch, right?
Hi, Prudence,
Yes to a series on people watching. You're kind and look for the best in others. That's why I'm not surprised you coaxed a smile from the big man and am certain you had a positive effect on the ferry crowd before the blonde turned up.
Hi Pat, actually, I was like a duck hunter crouching in his blind. I was hunkered down in my car, head lowered over my notebook, while peering over the rim of my glasses, watching my quarry in their natural habitat. 🙂
Wow, I feel like I was there! I think people watching is something all of us writers like to do. My husband's favorite place to people-watch is the flea market. It's like peopleofwalmart.com, in person!
Hi jennette, I believe you're right, writers, by the nature of what the do, are likely to be people watchers. The flea market idea is great, I'll have to try it next summer.
Two of my favorite places are the mall and coffee shops. I know, I'm completely shameless. 🙂
I used to love people watching on campus. I spent hours on fraternity row doing just that. Thanks for bringing up the great memory.

Why is it OK for guys to fart and not OK for girls?
Everybody eats to live, and the process of digestion, especially if one consumes a high fiber diet (which by the way is recommended for good health), produces gas. For some social and cultural reason that surely is written down somewhere, it is socially acceptable for guys to pass gas just about anywhere and anytime without anyone freaking out, other than perhaps a giggle or two.
But let a girl pass gas, and everyone is horrified, a serious social faux pas has just occurred. Why is this? It is not as if girl gas smells worse than guy gas, in fact the opposite is usually true. Guys can make you gag. Seriously. And it is not as if girl gas is louder and more noticable than guy gas, again, the opposite is usually true. Guys can sound like a bass bassoon blowing it out. Girls usually have polite little squeaky gas, which is much quiter and less noticable: except that it isn't. EVERYBODY notices when a girl passes gas. Even if they pretend not to.
This would make a good topic for a doctoral research paper – WHY is it that disgusting abdominal noises are OK for guys and not for girls? Is it that whole "sugar and spice and everything nice" thing? Guys were "snails and puppy dog tails" as I recall that nursery rhyme, and it was OK for them to get really, really dirty too. It just isn't fair!
Everybody gets gas. Everybody should be able to pass it, because there certainly is more room on the outside than there is on the inside. And gas HURTS when you don't let it go. Why suffer? I suggest getting really, really close to someone you don't care much for, and then letting go. Should be entertaining, and a huge relief, all at the same time. Girls unite! Pass that gas!

EDIT: I had jotted down the time it took to microwave each ingredient, but I thought I had lost my notes. However, I just found them, so here's the information, if anyone is interested. It was all done in a very old 900-watt microwave.
Lemon zest: 2 x 1 min on high
Parsley: 4 x 1 min, then 2 x 30 sec on high
Coriander: 5 x 1 min, then 2 x 30 sec on high
Onions: 2 min, then 6 x 1 min on high
Capers: 1 min on medium, then 5 x 1 min on high
For the "brown butter" powder, I used fat-free powdered milk and, as instructed, spread it on a baking sheet and baked it at 180ºC (350ºF). But rather than baking it for 4 minutes straight until it browned, I baked it in 2 minute instalments, then stirred the powder and put it back in. I did this 3 times, until the powder was acceptably browned (but not burnt).
That is all!

Blog Question – Fixtures and Fittings
The following was a question received 18th January 2016.
"A typical business contents policy includes cover for fixtures and fittings, where the insured is a tenant:
a) landlords fixtures and fittings when the tenant is liable under a lease agreement; and b)tenant's fixtures and fittings installed for his use.
However most policies do not define what is meant by fixtures and fittings. What do you believe fixtures and fittings means in the context of the policy? For example,would fixtures include buildings?
Brett [Surname and email provided]"
I replied with the following:
Thank you for your question Brett.
As the policy does not define what fixtures or fittings mean then their ordinary everyday meaning is what is used. Fixtures are described in the Macquarie Dictionary [3rd edition] as:
"something securely fixed in position; a permanently attached part or appendage of a house, etc."
Fittings on the other hand are defined as:
"anything provided as equipment, parts, accessories etc."
Based on this definition I do not believe that buildings themselves would fall under the definition but rather it is items that are fixed or attached to the building. This would include plant machinery such as air conditioners, cupboards, shelves, alarm systems, light fittings, curtains, blinds and the like.
I trust this explains the situation.
2 responses to "Blog Question – Fixtures and Fittings"
"Dear Professor Manning,
Thank you for your very quick response. I should have expanded a bit on my query. Fixture seems to be a legal term with lots of case law determining that a building is also a fixture. So my real question is – in the context of the insurance policy does the common everyday meaning have precedence over the legal meaning or vice versa. This is what is causing my confusion.
Brett "
I have never see the building structure itself be regarded as a fixture or fitting. The term 'building' is a well used and accepted insurance industry term differentiating this type of property from fixtures and fittings and so I would expect great push back, with some justification in my view, to try and include the building itself as a fixture.
The last thing we want is buildings to be included in the test for co-insurance on any claim where fixtures and fittings are insured.
I therefore do not believe the bare building structure falls within the definition in normal industry practice and that the everyday meaning would be used.
If you have any legal cases involving the insurance industry I would be pleased to review them.

Hello. For the following code I'm running in Oracle Database 9i:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE Persona AS OBJECT( ident varchar2(9), nombr varchar2(30) ); create table tper(per Persona); insert into tper values(Persona('111','Lucas')); select * from tper;
I am getting the error:
ORA-00932: inconsistent data type. expected NUMBER get USUT7.PERSONA
Could you help?
I ran your DDL on an 11gR2 database:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE Persona as object(
ident varchar2(9), nombr varchar2(30));
create table tper(per Persona);
insert into tper values(Persona('111','Lucas'));
insert into tper values(Persona('AAA','Dan'));
select * from tper;
drop table tper;
drop type Persona;
It worked fine:
Type created.
Table created.
1 row created.
1 row created.

This book will make you cry.
But whenever someone asks you your favorite book,this book will surely make a place in the list.
Narrated by the 16 year old Hazel Grace Lancaster,who was diagnosed with lung cancer when she was 13, the story tells us about her life which she spent idly until she meets Augustus Waters at her Cancer Support Group,Augustus has a prosthetic leg, also thanks to cancer — in his case, osteosarcoma. But he has been cancer free for years, and he comes to support group mostly to give Isaac(who is his friend having eye-cancer) company. Augustus(Gus) and Hazel are both witty and clever, as well as quirky, so they quickly connect.
Hazel suggests Gus to read her favorite book 'An Imperial Affliction' which he does. The book is about a girl with cancer, Anna, but one which eludes all the usual cancer novel cliches.She has read the book countless times and is a bit nervous about sharing it with Augustus, but he gets the book in the same way she does. The book stops in the middle of a sentence (indicating Anna has died or fallen too sick to write) and Hazel always wanted to know what happens to the other characters in the book.
To fulfill Hazel's wish Augustus contacts the author of AIA,Peter Van Houten, who agrees to tell her what happens but only if she can come to Amsterdam, where he resides. Augustus tells her that if she's fit enough for the trip,he'll be happy to take her.
Things come to a head when Hazel ends up in the hospital in critical stage.Life is short,and Hazel doesn't want to spend it all at home when she has the opportunity to go to Amsterdam and meet the author of her favorite book .
I had an amazing time reading (and re-reading 5 times) this book,not to mention the tears I shed.The story is funny,sad and cruel.But you will love it, its a must read! The witty,lovely Hazel and Handsome,caring Augustus will stick to your hearts forever!A 4.5/5 for the best work by John Green yet.

Etropole History Museum
Etropole (11 000 people) is a town in Stara planina (Old Mountain, the Balkan) located 80 km northeast of Sofia and 13 km away from Pravets.
The History Museum in Etropole launched its first exhibition in 1958. Ten years later, in 1968, the second exhibition of the museum was opened in the restored building of the former Turkish police office. The museum of Etropole is still housed there. The building was constructed in the period 1853 – 1870. This is the second public building in Etropole after the Clock Tower (1710) that has survived to this day. The ten halls of the museum tell about the past of the Etropole Region.
Visitors will find there the oldest pieces of evidence of life in the Etropole Valley which date back to the Bronze Age (circa 3rd – 2nd millennia BC). Stone axes, hammers, vessels used by Thracians in their everyday life, clay urns, amphorae, etc., are displayed in the Archaeology Hall.
The Adornments Collection dated 5th – 4th centuries BC includes fibulae, rings, gold breastplates, and a glass alabastron for fragrance oils.
The ethnographical exhibition is spread around four of the halls of the History Museum. It exhibits 19th century everyday items, clothes and adornments, articles made by local craftsmen in the period 16th – 20 centuries, photographs and documents. Visitors can see various tools used by the old Etropole ore-miners – shovels, pliers, mining lamps, wooden ladders, etc. Works of blacksmiths, cutlers and other craftsmen are presented there.
The filigreed mother-of-pearl pafti (metal belt buckles worn by women) which are typical for the region are displayed on the first floor of the main building. Visitors will also find bracelets, rings and earrings made by local masters there. Typical sarakatsan clothes are put on in one of the glass displays. The sarakatsani are a Greek-speaking community in Bulgaria. The other museum exhibitions preserve 16th-17th-century items related to the Etropole Literary School and follow the development of education in the region. Weapons, orders, medals, documents and photographs provide information about the participation of local people in the wars for national liberation and unification.
A recreation of the Etropole urban revival lifestyle from the mid-19th century is displayed in Arnaudov's House, a branch of the History Museum. Arnaudov's House is a typical house from the Bulgarian Revival Period. It is believed to be built around 1850 – 1860 and belonged to Nikolcho Arnaudov, a merchant and currier form Etropole. The house has two floors and a large veranda. The tannery and the cattle-sheds were situated on the ground floor. In 1980 the house was restored and the museum exhibition was opened. The traditional arrangement of the kashti – the main room that functioned as a kitchen and a living-room, is demonstrated in Arnaudov's House. Visitors can see the arrangement of the household utensils, the fireplace with the chain and the cauldron, the weaving loom, etc. there. From the kashti the visitors enter the soba – the bedroom of the family. The plank-bed is covered with rugs, home-weaved pillows are arranged by the wall, and a baby cradle hangs from the wooden ceiling.
The odaya – the room which was used for guests, shows Western European influences. Visitors will find a wooden bed with a dressing table and a mirror there. A table with Vienna chairs, a gramophone, an accordion, and a clarinet are arranged in the centre of the room. The wood-carvings and the wooden ceilings made by local master carvers are an inseparable part of the interior of the house.
The building of the museum, Arnaudov's Hause, and the Clock Tower were all declared architectural monuments of culture by virtue of publication in State Gazette, issue No 37 of 1964.
Information materials, brochures, cards and souvenirs are sold at the museum. The History Museum is one of the 100 Tourist Sites of Bulgaria. Another interesting tourist attraction - the Etropole Clock Tower - is located in close proximity to the museum.

This way, you reduce the quantity of risk involved within the investment. Measure a good number of sales a day or the quantity of money that must be collected. As a result of the relaxed standards necessary for some borrowers to have mortgages, there were an extra part of home loans awarded where in fact the homeowner's capability to pay was somewhat questionable.
Homeowners are seeing lots of price appreciation on their present homes. Investing in actual estate isn't any walk within the park. Let's look into a number of the fundamental property segments that are now defining the actual estate trends for Pune. These really are the lifeline of the country giving a corridor for rise and prosperity for the realty marketplace. Creative property investment shapes the actual estate investment behavior of people.

1. Leçons sur la Géométrie des Espaces de Riemann (1928), by Elie Cartan.
Amer. Math. Monthly 36 (10) (1929), 528-530.
This book begins with very simple and familiar ideas of vectors in Euclidean space in rectangular Cartesian coordinates and gradually arrives at the notion of a tensor and the algebraic and differential operations with tensors. In fact the study of the differential geometry of a Riemann space does not really begin until the fourth chapter. The method of study consists of associating with each point of the Riemann space an osculating Euclidean space; it then follows that the properties (at the point) of the Euclidean space which depend on the fundamental tensor and its first partial derivatives are valid for the Riemann space. ... Although a great many theorems of classical differential geometry have been generalized or extended to any Riemann space, the author usually con- fines his attention to two and three dimensional Riemann spaces with positive definite metrics. ... On the whole, one leaves the book with a feeling of having read about something very concrete, the language throughout being vividly geometrical; yet there is no lack of analytical rigour. ... A great many interesting and important problems are not mentioned at all in this book but, as the author states in the preface, they will probably form the subject matter of another volume which will no doubt be welcomed by every student of geometry.
Mathematical Reviews, MR0020842 (8,206g).
The book is pervaded with tensor analysis from first to last, and yet tensor formalism for its own sake is rather underplayed. In this sense, this is not a book from which to learn the skill of tensor formalism; just as a book in complex variables, if leaning in a geometric direction, need not be the appropriate source from which to learn the technique of power series manipulation. The most engaging feature of the book, fully retained in the new edition, is the insistence on problems in the large, or of global incipience at least. There are ample discussions of covering spaces and fundamental groups for complete Riemannian spaces of constant curvature, positive, zero or negative. ... Entirely new is first of all a chapter on symmetric spaces. ... New also is a full-length chapter on Lie groups of motions, replete with contents. ... Finally there is a new chapter which methodically unifies the problem of deciding the (local) equivalence of two metrics with Killing's approach to determining the largest group of motions for any one metric
The Mathematical Gazette 19 (233) (1935), 154.
This tract gives an account of a generalisation of the idea of moving axes, familiar in elementary differential geometry, to a form which can be adapted to study the intrinsic geometry of spaces of various kinds. The subject is intimately connected with the Lie theory of continuous groups, since each such group may be regarded as a set of transformations in a space, the space being the group itself. The principle of the method is to associate a configuration with each point of the space, with the property that there is just one displacement in the space which changes the figure associated with a point A into that associated with any other point B. The equations deter- mining the local variations of these figures can be determined, and are intimately related to the structure-equations of the group. These equations, in fact, contain in essence the whole of the differential geometry of the space.
The Mathematical Gazette 23 (255) (1939), 318.
This book contains a survey of what is known of the subject, most of which knowledge is due to Prof Cartan himself. After two chapters on the generalities of the theory there is a chapter on closed groups and one on closed simple groups. ... There follows a chapter on open groups, containing the theorem that the first Betti number of an open simple group is 0 or 1. In the next chapter (Chapter VI) there is a very pretty proof of the third fundamental theorem of Lie, asserting the existence of a group with given constants of structure. Of course this was proved by Lie himself for what is now known as a "gruppenkeim" (in general a "gruppenkeim" is not a group, since a product xy will only exist if x and y lie near enough to the identity). But it was left for Cartan himself, in 1930, to prove the existence of an actual group with given constants of structure. The book concludes with a statement of all known theorems on the Betti numbers of closed simple groups - among others the results of L Pontrjagin and R Brauer, who have calculated them for the four main types of simple group.
Bull. Amer. Math. Soc. 44 (1) (1938), 11-13.
In a recent monograph, 'La Méthode de Repère mobile, ...' E Cartan presented a splendid outline of his general method of approach toward all branches of differential geometry. In a word, it consists of a far-reaching generalization of the familiar moving trihedral with assistance from the theory of groups. The analytical formulation employs the exterior differential calculus, a discipline extensively used by Cartan since the turn of the century. And there is frequent recourse to the theory of Pfaffian systems. Undoubtedly his unusual analytical machinery is, to many, a source of difficulty. Most differential geometers use, instead, Ricci's tensor calculus and theorems on total differential equations stemming from Christoffel. But every disciple of Ricci knows the profit which lies in the study of Cartan. In the above monograph the author devoted one paragraph to showing how projective differential geometry fits into his general scheme. In the work here under review this paragraph is presented to us in more satisfactory form as a book of three hundred odd pages. The book has two principal divisions, the first devoted to classical projective differential geometry, the second, to the geometry of projectively connected spaces. ... Of all Cartan's books this is one of the most clearly written but, like the others, it can be fully appreciated only by those having some previous acquaintance with its field. The author works through his subject informally, enriching it with his unified point of view and his unsurpassable geometric insight, finding new approaches leading to a better understanding, and giving here and there a new result for good measure. This is probably the first major publication in book form to have classical and generalized projective differential geometry fraternizing within its covers. And the author was a pioneer in both fields.
Bull. Amer. Math. Soc. 44 (9) (1938), 598-601.
This book, which originated from a course of lectures given in 1931-1932 at the Sorbonne, covers in a somewhat more explicit form essentially the same material as the 'Actualités Scientifiques et Industrielles' (1935) ... The book under review pursues a three-fold purpose: it contains (1) an exposition of the general theory of finite continuous Lie groups in a terminology adapted to its differential geometric applications; (2) a general description of the method of 'repères mobiles'; and (3) its application to a number of important examples. ... All of the author's books, the present one not excepted, are highly stimulating, full of original viewpoints, and profuse in interesting geometric details. Cartan is undoubtedly the greatest living master of differential geometry. ... We should not let pass unmentioned Jean Leray's merit in molding the lecture notes he took into something which is a true book and yet catches some of the vividness of the original lectures. Nevertheless, I must admit that I found the book, like most of Cartan's papers, hard reading. Does the reason lie only in the great French geometric tradition on which Cartan draws, and the style and contents of which he takes more or less for granted as a common ground for all geometers, while we, born and educated in other countries, do not share it?
The Mathematical Gazette 23 (255) (1939), 320-323.
In the preface to the two volumes under review M Cartan points out that, in their most general mathematical form, spinors were discovered by him in 1913 in his work on linear representations of simple groups, and he emphasises their connection, shown in Vol. II, with Clifford-Lipschitz hypercomplex numbers. In the text he develops the theory from the beginning, the first volume being devoted to spinors in three-dimensional space and the second to spinors in n-dimensional space, with special reference to the four-dimensional space-time of Special Relativity. The point of view is fundamentally geometrical, the theory being presented as one of linear representations of the rotation-groups of determinants + 1 and -1. ... M Cartan's book will be indispensable to mathematicians interested in the geometrical and physical aspects of group theory, giving, as it does, a complete and authoritative survey of the algebraic theory of spinors treated from a geometrical point of view. It is not perhaps to be recommended as an introductory book, for it would be difficult to follow without some previous knowledge either of group theory in general or of spinor theory in particular, but it is and will remain a standard work. Whether it will prove to contain the last word on the subject of spinors remains to be seen
Bull. Amer. Math. Soc. 53 (3) (1945), 261-266.
This book gives a revised account of lectures delivered in 1936-1937 at the Sorbonne. The content is based almost exclusively on the author's own outstanding contributions to the subject at the beginning of the century. In developing many of these old results, however, the author's present viewpoint is new as well as stimulating. The whole treatment, even at the few points where it touches upon contemporary work by other writers, bears the stamp of the author's individuality. The fundamental calculus employed is Grassmann algebra. Cartan's manner of regarding this discipline might be described as follows. The indeterminates are differentials and the polynomials are forms.
8.2. Review by: J A Schouten.
Mathematical Reviews, MR0016174 (7,520d).
The first part of this book contains the theory of integration of total differential equations connected with a general system of exterior differential forms (covariant alternating quantities). ... The second part of the book contains applications to several problems of differential geometry.
Amer. Math. Monthly 90 (10) (1983), 719-720.
Cartan is certainly one of the greatest and most original minds of mathematics, whose work on Lie groups, differential geometry, and the geometric theory of differential equations is at the foundation of much of what we do today. In my view, his place in mathematics is similar to that of the great turn-of-the-century masters in other areas of intellectual life. Just as Freud was influenced by the mechanistic world view of 19th century science, but used this background to create something new and revolutionary which has profoundly influenced 20th century thought, so Cartan built, on a foundation of the mathematics which was fashionable in the 1890's in Paris, Berlin and Göttingen, a mathematical edifice whose implications we are still investigating. His work was highly intuitive and geometric, but was also based on a formidable combination of original methods of calculation and analysis, ranging in mathematical expertise from algebra to topology. For example, he completed the work of Killing and Lie on the classification of simple Lie algebras. As Hawkins so convincingly demonstrates [1], this required the mastery of the most advanced algebraic technique of the 1890's, a task at which Killing himself (who learned his algebra from Weierstrass!) had despaired. In the 1920's, when he was already in his 50's, he proved that the second homotopy group of a Lie group was zero, which was one of the first great general theorems about topology. As one can see in his Collected Works, he was a master of brutal calculations, and all of his work was based on an intimate knowledge of computational details and examples. In short, he was comparable to such great figures of mathematics as Gauss, Riemann, and Poincar6. Thus it is unfortunate that his original work is so inaccessible to the wide spectrum of mathematicians and scientists who now make use of it. (Of course, it is accessible through the expositions by many others in the last twenty years.) This short book is a translation of one which was written in French in the 1930's, and is perhaps the most readable of his works. It was first published in 1966, when the work of Killing and Cartan on the classification of simple Lie groups was beginning to be applied in elementary particle physics. In terms of contemporary Lie group theory, it deals with the B and D series of simple Lie algebras and the Lie groups which go along with them, i.e., the orthogonal matrix groups over the real and complex numbers and their simply connected covering groups. ... I hope I am not insulting the memory of my greatest hero to say that this book is a fraud! I don't believe that Cartan thought about the subject in the form in which it is presented here. Clearly, he is presenting a "vulgarization" of the general theory of semi-simple Lie algebras and groups, which he developed almost single-handedly (with the help of Hermann Weyl!) in the period 1893-1930. Cartan was very much a fan of physics, and he clearly is trying to teach the physicists of his day some of his profound knowledge in a form which they might find more palatable. The recently published correspondence between Einstein and Cartan is very illuminating about the habits of mind of these two great men, and even somewhat sad. They were like ships passing in the night: Cartan enthusiastically tried to communicate some of his great geometric ideas to Einstein, who was rather closed-minded and even condescending. Finally, I would like to use this occasion to convey my thanks to Dover Publications. Their efforts to keep in print, at modest prices, the classics of science have been a great help in my own work. Many times I have picked up a Dover book at my local bookstore and discovered a jewel of which I was previously unaware. Even more important, it is one of the last links in today's world with certain precious scholarly traditions.
9.2. Description by the publisher of the 1981 reprint by Courier Dover Publications.
The French mathematician Élie Cartan (1869-1951) was one of the founders of the modern theory of Lie groups, a subject of central importance in mathematics and also one with many applications. In this volume, he describes the orthogonal groups, either with real or complex parameters including reflections, and also the related groups with indefinite metrics. He develops the theory of spinors (he discovered the general mathematical form of spinors in 1913) systematically by giving a purely geometrical definition of these mathematical entities; this geometrical origin makes it very easy to introduce spinors into Riemannian geometry, and particularly to apply the idea of parallel transport to these geometrical entities. The book is divided into two parts. The first is devoted to generalities on the group of rotations in n-dimensional space and on the linear representations of groups, and to the theory of spinors in three-dimensional space. Finally, the linear representations of the group of rotations in that space (of particular importance to quantum mechanics) are also examined. The second part is devoted to the theory of spinors in spaces of any number of dimensions, and particularly in the space of special relativity (Minkowski space). While the basic orientation of the book as a whole is mathematical, physicists will be especially interested in the final chapters treating the applications of spinors in the rotation and Lorentz groups. In this connection, Cartan shows how to derive the "Dirac" equation for any group, and extends the equation to general relativity. One of the greatest mathematicians of the 20th century, Cartan made notable contributions in mathematical physics, differential geometry, and group theory. Although a profound theorist, he was able to explain difficult concepts with clarity and simplicity. In this detailed, explicit treatise, mathematicians specializing in quantum mechanics will find his lucid approach a great value.
Mathematical Reviews, MR0709421 (85m:53001).
The first edition of this profound treatise was based on lectures given by the author in the 1925-26 academic year. A somewhat modernized and extensively augmented edition appeared in 1946; a reprint appeared in 1951. In view of the great influence which this work has exerted on the subsequent development of differential geometry, it is perhaps appropriate that a review of its translation, even at this late stage, should present an outline of its contents. ... Extensive commentaries by R Hermann on various sections of the main text should enable the reader to grasp some of its material from the perspective of modern techniques and terminology. An elucidation of the concepts that occur in these commentaries is presented in a series of three appendices by Hermann, entitled "The formalism of connection theory", "Cartan's method of the moving frame as a generalization of Klein's 'Erlanger Programm' ", "Excursions into the theory of Cartan connections".
Mathematical Reviews, MR1877071 (2002h:53001).
From lectures delivered by Élie Cartan at the Sorbonne in 1926-27. With a preface to the Russian edition by S P Finikov. Translated from the 1960 Russian edition by Vladislav V Goldberg and with a foreword by S S Chern.

"Presenter" Pick of the Show? Really?
Chloe has just tried running a coral and opal silver friendship type bracelet, which just died on its feet.
It started off at £200, then stopped dead. After saying that the price was getting checked out behind the scenes, the auction gets pulled.
What's interesting is what Chloe says next. "I have no idea what ballpark this is to go to". And then she implies that this was pushed into her show, as it wasn't part of the planning process.
If that's the case, then the Pick of the Show items are nothing to do with the presenter at all. Which I am perfectly fine with. I just wish TJC would stop with the playacting and just flog jewellery.Post Thanks / Like - 0 Thanks, 1 LikesSusie Wusie liked this post

Hey, what else would you expect from them? First this article by Greg Laurie. Laurie, apparently can't face up to the historical truth that the Declaration of Independence is an Enlightenment document, and speaks of God in rationalistic or Enlightenment terms. So he has to support his revisionist theory with phony quotations. For instance, this one from Thomas Jefferson: ''The Bible is the cornerstone for American liberty.'' He then quotes Lincoln as stating:
''All the good Savior gave to the World was communicated through this Book. But for this Book we could not know right from wrong. All the things most desirable for man's welfare, here and hereafter, are to be found in it.''
Now, admittedly, I'm less familiar with Lincoln's work than the Founders; but based on the limited research I've done so far, it seems to be another phony quotation. Lincoln, operating in the tradition of our key Whig Founders, seemed to be a "Theistic Rationalist" -- that is, he believed in and invoked a warm-intervening Providence, but otherwise didn't believe in Scripture or the God of the Bible. Though, Lincoln did quote from or otherwise invoked the Bible and the Christian religion for political purposes. But clearly, he didn't believe in that system.
Here Laurie makes the critical error which I've spent so much time on my blogs debunking:
The same God our Founding Fathers invoked when they established this nation. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The God who gave us Jesus Christ as His Son to die on the Cross in our place. The God who gave us the Bible as our guide and manual for living. The only God who can save America and us as individuals.
Funny, as I pointed out in my last post, our Founding Fathers almost never identified God in those terms when they invoked Him in their public supplications. Rather they spoke of a generic, amorphous "Nature's God" who could be the God of the Bible or rather some heterodox Providence. And they certainly disbelieved in and often viciously ridiculed some of the Christian doctrines implied in Laurie's above quoted paragraph, like the Trinity and the Incarnation.
Next, we have Pat Boone (a man who almost personally ruined Rock 'N Roll until the Beatles saved it), making nearly the same error. Boone apparently doesn't realize how the two halves of this following paragraph contain an utterly ironic contradiction.
American pride in its institutions is rooted and grounded in this fundamental belief [in God]. George Washington believed it. Ben Franklin believed it. Thomas Jefferson declared it. John Adams and James Monroe and all the signers of the Constitution devoutly believed it. The first Supreme Court Chief Justice, John Jay, stated on October 12, 1816: ''Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation, to select and prefer Christians for their rulers!''
Yes, certainly Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, Adams, and Monroe were monotheists who believed in God. Yet, they all were (or likely were) theological Unitarians who therefore could not be classified as "Christians," at least as many understand that term. So if the "Christian people," exercising their Providentially given right to vote, heeded Jay's advice, they could not vote for a single historical figure that Boone invoked!
Here is founding era preacher Bird Wilson (James Wilson's son) on the matter: "[A]mong all our presidents from Washington downward, not one was a professor of religion, at least not of more than Unitarianism."
He went on to say (I'm copying from Farrell Till's linked article, though this is a direct quotation from Wilson's sermon):
"[T]he founders of our nation were nearly all Infidels, and that of the presidents who had thus far been elected [George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, and Andrew Jackson] _not a one had professed a belief in Christianity_" (Remsberg, p. 120, emphasis added).

Over the last 24 hours I have become obsessed with Kurt Cobain. It first started when the Kurt Cobain Journals book was recommended to me on Amazon. I started looking it up to see if I wanted it and then it was like I fell down the rabbit hole. I've watched two documentaries about him - 'Kurt Cobain: About A Son' and 'The Last 48 Hours of Kurt Cobain'. I'd definitely recommend both of them if you've got an interest in him but I personally preferred The Last 48 Hours as you got to see how the people in his life knew him. I've also preordered his journals and ordered a famous t-shirt that he wore (the "Flipper" one). I've listed to Nirvana's Greatest Hits. All of this in just 24 hours. I feel like my perspective has changed on the world in just 24 hours.
From what I've learned about him so far, I think he was a lost and troubled soul. He didn't feel like he fit into the world. He wasn't happy. I believe he thought the world and the people in it were evil. He couldn't live in a world that was that way.
I know he had a lot of problems and addictions but I admire him. The way he felt about people is the way I've felt about people. I believe that if I had become interested in him back when I was 13 or 14 that it would've helped me cope with my own struggles. Kurt Cobain is extremely intelligent and controversial but endlessly fascinating. I'm going to keep learning about him and can hopefully make some sense out of all of it. ♥

Movies that I recently watchedYeah2,I know I've been abandoning this blog for quite sometime.I mean,what's the point of having a blog if you don't update it frequently right?BUT I have a reasonable excuse in doing so..Been busy with my practicum and catching up with my friends.This week is school holiday thus I am free(sort-of) for 1 week.Have soo many things to do and I'm looking forward towards a few things that'll happen soon.:).
Oh,are you guys watching the current season of American Idol??Is it me or is it getting more and more boring?Somebody please breathe some life into the show!I still like Didi Benami & the youngest guy(I still forgot his name again!).
Below are some of the movies that I've watched these past few weeks.
1.My sister's keeper
I watched the trailer of this movie late last year I think, or was it early this year..but the point is,I was puzzled why a girl would be selfish and doesn't want to give her kidney to save her sister's life?When I watched the movie and as the story unfolds, when Anna decided to sue her parents over the rights of her own body,I was still dumbfounded but in a way iget the pain that Anna had to endure because she was a designer baby conceived to help her sister Kate who have leukemia to live.
The movie was great and I thought Cameron Diaz did a great job especially the part where she fight with her husband when he wanted to take them all to the beach.Some things puzzle me thus I think I'd buy the book to get a clearer picture like... why Jesse likes to hang out by the road side at the Red Light District?It's understandable if he goes there to get 'some', but, all he does is sit by the roadside and stare....
And oh Taylor Ambrose is HOT.He is Kate's boyfriend and they met while they were getting treatments.He is just the sweetest thing ever and he makes looking bald because of cancer HOT.:P
2.Julie and Julia
Ahh,I bought the book for this movie in the year 2008 and it was a chance encounter because I've never heard about the book before but the cover catch my eye.As I recall,I think I bought the book at a warehouse sale.As I read it,I was amazed at Julie's determination on wanting to cook ALL the recipes in one THICK cookbook for 1 year.
Now,the movie on the other hand, is a combination of 2 books.1 is the book Julie & Julia while the other one is a book of a collection of Julia Child's husband,Paul letter's.Now,as an avid cook and one who was exposed to cooking at a young age(thanks to my maternal grandmother,my only grandparent that is still in this world)this movie made me actually want to write a cookbook!
I swear that straight after the movie ended I made chocolate pudding(inspired by the chocolate cream pie that Julia made at the start of the movie) and crème caramel because the movie was just great!I like the fact that Meryl was totally transformed into Julia Child and even her voice was different!Amy Adams did a great job too and it looked like she gained a few pounds for the part.
3.My name is Khan
I watched the trailer of this movie around 2 months ago and I was intrigued to watch it because to tell the truth,I am not one for Hindi movies but I thought Shah Rukh Khan looked great in it and the storyline looks promising.Boy was I wrong when I finally watched it.
I guess now I know why the movie that actually tackles quite a few important issues didn't become that well known.The intention of the movie was great but the execution quite frankly,didn't come through. The saying is true that' too many cooks spoils the broth'.. because the movie had too many heavy issues in one movie from dealing with Asperger syndrome, racial discrimination and interracial marriage and it became one big mess.
BUT there are good things about the movie too.SRK's(Shah Rukh Khan) acting was great.He managed to make a person who has Asperger come off as charming and cute(if you watched Grey's Anatomy,there was a doctor who had Asperger and there's many tv series in the States that have a character with Asperger ).I t didn't hurt the fact that he looked good even at his current age!But I thought that there some scenes that made me rolled my eyes because it was soo farfetched and illogical.All in all,people should watch this movie because of its message and for SRK's acting chops alone.
Movies that I have but haven't watched yet:The Blindside(can't wait to watch Sandra Bullock's Oscar winning performance) & Post Grad!

Once in a while, the "NEED TO BAKE NEED TO BAKE NEED TO BAKE" urge takes me over. Usually I'll just make some cupcakes or something, but sometimes I want to try something new and different, especially if it will please a friend. Fellow kittenshark Ashley loves cheesecake, and it just so happened that when I had this urge to bake something, it was almost Nick's birthday; he also loves cheesecake. Settled. Gotta make cheesecake.
Since I'd never made a cheesecake before, I scoured the internet for the right recipe for me, and because I knew I wanted to make mini versions, I ended up using one I found at a wonderful site and only slightly adapting it. Since she said it best, please check out Annie's Eats for the full recipe.
The adaptations I made were using Chocolate graham cracker crumbs instead of chocolate cookie crumbs (I don't like Oreos), Natural Balance Vegan Buttery Spread instead of butter, Egg Beaters Egg Whites instead of Eggs and no salt. It was still pretty tasty! In fact, Ashely said, "This might be the best dessert I've ever had."
I baked 4 mini cheesecakes in glass ramekin and made cupcakes out of the rest. With future cheesecakes, I hope to have a more attractive looking final product, but all the different crap about how to know when your cheesecake is done had me pretty spooked.
