Rapid 1.5 TDI AT Style Review
The Skoda Rapid 1.5 TDI AT Style is the most expensive diesel automatic iteration of the sedan. Priced at Rs 12.96 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi as of 5 May, 2017), the Style variant gets you all the bells and whistles that the Rapid variant lineup has to offer.
Compared to the equivalent manual variant, it commands a premium of around Rs 1.4 lakh.
The Rapid received its first major facelift in November 2016, with the new design making the car look more polished and classier. Apart from what you get in the mid-range Ambition variant, it gets features like chrome moulding on the boot-lid and chrome door handles. A big addition comes in the form of projector headlights and daytime-running LEDs. For safety, like the lower variants, it gets dual front airbags and ABS with EBD as standard. Specific to the AT variant is the inclusion of hill-hold control (HHC) and the electronic stability program (ESP). The model also benefits from the inclusion of an auto-dimming interior rear view mirror.
Enter the cabin and apart from what you get in the Ambition grade, you are welcomed by features like chrome trim on the steering wheel, leatherette upholstery and driving aids like cruise control and auto-wipers. The infotainment system gets quite the upgrade too, as you now get a 6.5-inch touchscreen which enables MirrorLink connectivity as well. Adding to the feel-good factor are a cooled glovebox and amber glow footwell lighting.
The Rapid also has quite a potent heart under its bonnet. Powering the car is a 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder engine that makes 110PS of power and 250Nm of torque. The motor comes paired with a 7-speed DSG automatic gearbox. Skoda claims the Rapid 1.5 TDI AT will deliver a fuel economy of 21.72kmpl, which is just over half a kmpl less than the manual Rapid diesel.
The Rapid automatic rivals the likes of the Maruti Ciaz, Honda City, Hyundai Verna and even its own cousin, the Volkswagen Vento.

We ask financial planner Warren Ingram to help get our tax ducks in a row.
Death and taxes.
We must pay tax – every single cent that is due.
But we must make sure we don't pay more than is due.
There are a few key things to do to maximise your savings while reducing your tax and a few good ideas.
The first one is a tax free savings account – we're allowed 33-thousand a year.
That's a great contribution to make to your savings.
Warren Ingram, financial adviser, wealth planner
It's hard to be rational and calm about the proposals about government wanting a percentage of pension funds.
The horror stories I'm hearing is people pulling out of their funds because they're convinced it's going to be implemented.
But a retirement fund is still a way to get a nice big tax break.

MR. HERBERT ROBERTS (Denbighshire, W.)
I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he will state the number of public elementary schools in England and Wales which are connected with the National Society; whether he is aware that one of the conditions of affiliation with this society is that the 201 masters and mistresses of the schools shall be members of the Church of England; and whether, in the event of the Education Bill becoming law, this religious test will continne to be imposed upon all the teachers in these schools.
No records exist of the actual number of public elementary schools in England and Wales that are connected with the National Society. The terms of union with the society are, I believe, correctly stated in the Question, but are, I am informed, very frequently departed from in practice. Schools marked N. in the Board of Education Return are not necessarily in union with the National Society; and therefore no inferences can be drawn from the Return.

Which version of midnight commander are you using? I don't see such behavior on 4.6.1. Milan Cermak Dne 2.12.09 17:11, Miguel Pérez napsal(a):
Hello,I've noticed when Midnight Commander sorts filenames alphabetically, it treats numbers specially as to sort filenames "a1", "a3" and "a20" in this order, contrary to the expected "a1", "a20", "a3" order provided by most if not everything else (examples I had readily available: ls, sort, Konqueror file manager, KDE file chooser, Opera's file chooser, Python's sorted(os.listdir('.'))). As a reference, FAR Manager sorts like everything else too. It's just Midnight Commander the one sorting weirdly. (I'm using the "C" collation locale, although as far as I understand this is not dictated by locales.)While this may look nice on the basis that the number 3 comes before the number 20 and so on (when treated as such!), this is extremely irritating because almost everything else will sort files correctly and contradict Midnight Commander's file sorting. It's even dangerous, as it may lead to user confusion and mistakes that could derive in data loss. Allow me to explain my particular case as an example: I use Midnight Commander as my central file management tool. However, in order to view image files, I've associated my own image viewer with the F3 (view) action for image files. This image viewer allows me to walk forwards and backwards within the directory starting from the file I used to open it, so for example I'm in a directory with files "a1.png", "a3.png" and "a20.png" as seen in Midnight Commander. I hit F3 on "a1.png", and then go forwards to the next file expecting to view what was next in Midnight Commander - "a3.png"; however the image viewer (and any other application I have) will jump to "a20.png" if they're alphabetically sorting files. I may then see something I don't like, and decide to delete the next file to the one I started browsing, so when I'm back to Midnight Commander I go and delete the wrong file ("a3.png").Could you implement an option to disable this kind of "user-friendly" natural sort algorithm that could easily backfire on users and end up being unfriendly?Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel

Transfiguration Cathedral, Chernihiv
In Chernihiv are so many interesting attractions, one of which is the Transfiguration Cathedral.
The story of the Transfiguration Cathedral
The Cathedral has a long history and is one of the oldest monuments in Ukraine. Construction of the shrine was begun in the 11th century. The original appearance of the building is very different from its modern appearance. You can see the changes of the temple, beating him on all sides.
Shrine combines elements of Romanesque basilica. The temple has a Byzantine cross-domed type of structure. Its walls are built of natural stone, a combination of materials can be explained not only by the mixed type of construction of the temple, but its restructuring in the period of almost a thousand years of history, dating back to 1036.
The next point in the life of the spiritual shrine associated with the name of Svyatoslav Yaroslavich. At that time, it was reconstructed. The walls of the temple were raised, has undergone a change and the appearance of the facade, he and other architectural elements, absorbed the traditions of stone architecture of his contemporaries.
Scientists believe it was buried Prince Igor, which is mentioned in the text of the chronicle "The Tale of Igor`s Campaign". In 1246 the temple was delivered to the relics of the martyrs - Prince Michael and Boyar Fyodor in his court. After more than 300 years, the shrine was taken to Moscow by Tsar Ivan the Terrible.
Interesting facts about the Holy Transfiguration Cathedral
The interior of the Cathedral of the Transfiguration combines many elements of different styles. All of this is explained by a terrible fire and the battle that wiped out the true appearance of the temple and caused his recovery. In 1239 the cathedral was partly destroyed and looted the Mongol-Tatar troops.
In 1675 the church was restored under the leadership of Bishop Lazarus Baranovichi, but in 1750 the building was severely damaged in a fire which wiped from its walls surviving old Russian frescoes and completely changed the interior of the church, returned the shrine in 1783.
The reconstruction of the cathedral is linked with the name of Potemkin, who was passing through Chernigov and became interested in the history of the majestic temple, whose appearance has been virtually erased centuries of history and a strong fire. Potemkin ordered to restore the cathedral, in the course of repairs to the church building were added spiky towers that allow you to compare the building with the church.
Over the 900 years since its founding the church he belonged to the Chernigov diocese. The modern history of the church begins with 1818, when the artist J. Yurinov painted oil wall inside the cathedral, depicting scenes from the life of the church, saints and historical events. In 1891, the dome of the Cathedral were gilded. The original gilding still adorns the building. In Soviet times, the cathedral was converted into a museum of local history, some time later returned to the church building. Today the temple is deystvuyuschim.On the center of social and spiritual life of the residents.
How to get to the Transfiguration Cathedral
The cathedral is located in the historic city center on the shaft Chernigov . To get to it, you can, driving along the Gorky street or standing at a bus stop at the intersection of the Transfiguration and Prospect Mira.

US Navy Triples Maternity Leave to 18 Paid Weeks
Jul 2015
Our government may not have beefed up the federal maternity leave policy just yet, but our military is paving the way, tripling the amount of paid leave previously offered to female sailors and marines.
During a speech at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland in May, US Navy Secretary Ray Mabus unveiled a proposal that would double the amount of paid maternity time for both sailors and marines from six to 12 weeks.
But on July 2, we learned not only was the proposal effective immediately, it was extended to 18 weeks.
Additionally, it applies retroactively to any service member who's given birth this year.
The plan is part of an effort to retain top performing women. Currently, the Navy's female retention rate is half that of the male rate.
Additionally, Mabus plans to extend Naval childcare by two hours in the morning and two hours in the evening, since service members cited frequently reporting for duty at the same time childcare centers opened and working past close.
"Those are the sorts of things — we're trying to make it a more family-friendly atmosphere in the service, and allow you to not have to choose between family and service," Mabus says.
If new parents need more time off, Mabus is working on accommodating that too. He is proposing that 400 slots be created for anyone, not just parents, who needs to take time off from service — up to three years. The tradeoff? Those involved would be expected to provide two years of service for each year taken off.
How does this proposed maternity leave policy stack up to other branches of the military? It's generous; both the Army and Air Force offer just 42 days, although women can take more time off if medically necessary.

Halal Food at Disney World
It's taken a few visits and some trial and error, but we had such a great experience with halal food throughout Disney when we went back to Disney World this past August (and with relatively minor hiccups).
First and foremost, it is very important to research and plan ahead of time what restaurants on the Disney property you are going to eat at, and make a reservation ahead of time. A lot of the reservations at the Disney restaurants fill up quickly months in advance, so plan ahead… and if it's a last minute trip — keep looking — reservations do open up.
Most Walt Disney Parks and Resorts table service restaurants that accept reservations can accommodate Halal meals if requested at least 24 to 72 hours in advance. I would just suggest doing it about two weeks prior to your trip if possible, so you have time to go back and forth with any questions you may have. To request it, there is a Special Diets form you fill out and email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
In my experience from August 2019, at each of the restaurants where I had made a prior reservation, as soon as I alerted a staff member upon arrival, I was told that the Chef would come out and speak to me and my guests so they could be sure to accommodate what we were looking for.
Here's a few places we ate at during our most recent trip in August 2019:
At Chef Mickey's, not only do you get to enjoy a variety of items in their buffet including things like guava pastries and Mickey Mouse waffles, but the halal steak and grilled chicken were absolutely delicious!
At Spice Road Table in Epcot, we enjoyed their steak
At Cosmic Ray's in Magic Kingdom (this is a quick service restaurant, with no reservation required ahead of time). we had chicken and beef burgers that were served in a Mickey Mouse bun:
The best part is that the halal options are not just limited to the restaurants that require prior reservations — not only have I had halal meals delivered to my resort through room service, but I was told that halal meals are readily available at the following Theme Park Food & Beverage quick service locations with no advance notice needed:
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park:
- Satu'li Canteen
Disney's Hollywood Studios:
- ABC Commissary
- Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant
- Sunshine Seasons
- Restaurant Marrakesh and Spice Road Table (can vouch for this one – see above)
Magic Kingdom Park:
- Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe (can vouch for this one – see above)
- Tony's Town Square
Local [Halal] Thai Food
I don't like Chinese food, so I just always [wrongly] assumed I wouldn't like Thai food either. Similar taste profile and all. Chinese food is way too salty, for the most part, for my liking… and I don't particularly like that distinct taste.
I hesitantly tried Thai food last November when a bunch of us cousins went to a local [halal] place, called N' Thai Palace, and I was pleasantly surprised that a) it didn't taste like Chinese food and b) I actually liked it! It was flavorful, visually pleasing and delicious. I had been meaning to go back but didn't get the chance to… except for the one time I got all the way there only to find out that the restaurant was closed on Mondays!
All of us got different meals to try and we each loved everything. Which is rare– usually some are good while others… not so good. I especially liked their drunken noodles and Mango Chicken and Shrimp.
Last week, I tried another local [halal] Thai place with a friend– this time to Pan Asia [also closed on Mondays]. It was just as delicious; so much so that I got the family to try it for dinner last night. I love their Pad Thai with chicken and the rest of my family also liked their Hakka Noodles [with chicken] and Chicken Fried Rice.
Review: The Fault in Our Stars
I cried [plenty of times… but that shouldn't be surprising], I laughed, but so many times I just paused… to reflect and to ponder. The choice of words are brilliant. I think that is what captivated me the most.
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is a quick, easy, articulate and captivating read. I finished it in a few sittings in a less than a 24-hour time frame. I love how beautifully honestly it is written. How honestly sarcastic the teenager is portrayed. It is what it is.
What's it about you ask? Literally: two teenagers with cancer who fall in love [depicting their inner struggles, etc.]. My take? It makes you think. Deep. Not just about death and dying, but life and living.
There are many memorable quotes in the book, but that struck me the most? This:
My cancer is me. The tumors are made of me. They're made of me as surely as brain and heart are made of me. It is a civil war, Hazel Grace, with a predetermined winner.
The Hunger Games
I finally caved in and read The Hunger Games yesterday.
It sat on my side table for weeks (probably longer) after Imran lent me the book and insisted I read it (along with Faraz). Two nights ago, I picked up the book and couldn't put it down! I read nearly a third of the book before falling asleep and finished it off yesterday morning reading it every chance I got (in the car, etc.).
The book captures your attention, keeps you on the edge of your seat, and you just can't read it fast enough! Although it wasn't my style of reading, it kept me captivated for most of it. It's written really well and so descriptive that it makes you feel as if you are there in person observing the moment.
Many people have asked me what I thought of the book — and the best way I could describe it is that it's like a more evil version of The Lord of the Flies and 1984 put together.
The concept is cruel, inhumane, and absolutely absurd…. but it sure makes you think!
Am I going to watch the movie? Absolutely not. I can't stomach gruesome scenes for the life of me.
Have you read The Hunger Games? Did you watch the movie… or are you planning on it? What do you think of it? If you haven't read/watched… is there a reason?
Red Lobster
I love seafood… and tilapia is one of my favorites!
So it should come as no surprise that one of my favorites when I go out to eat is the Wood-Fire Grilled Tilapia at Red Lobster. It's what I get EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. I go there. Without fail.
Love the Caesar salad at Red Lobster. LOVE their biscuits.
I finally convinced my parents to go there about a year and a half ago for the first time. Since then, I have gone with them twice more — the most recent time was today. In fact, we went today solely for their wood-fire grilled tilapia (my mom tried a piece of mine last time and loved it as well). Two out of the three times I've gone with them, however, they have for some reason not had Tilapia available.
This is despite the fact that it's listed on their menu and on their list of "Today's Fresh Fish". I was not informed that they didn't have any Tilapia until I placed my order, and was quite disappointed. Especially because this isn't the first time that has happened.
We went during peak dinner time (7 PM), so it is not like we went really late and they might have ran out of tilapias by then. If we went really late, and they didn't have any available at that point, I would have attributed it to that.
While I liked the Parrot Isle Jumbo Coconut Shrimp that I ordered today, it wasn't what I wanted. I go to Red Lobster pretty much for their wood-fire grilled tilapia and their biscuits and if I am not sure I'll be getting that — I don't know if it is worth going there!
Choopan Grill
Food: 3
Staff: 3
Atmosphere: 3.5
Overall: 3.0
Choopan Grill is a new Afghani Restaurant that opened recently in our area. It apparently has two other locations by the same owner in NY (or so I've heard). I tried it today with three of my cousins (and we all love Afghani food).
The service was… not so great? We were the only ones there for a pretty long time (it was around 7 PM) and the greeter/server pretty much "watched" us, which is beyond creepy and annoying. Then, she came over and asked "what do you want?". What I wanted to say was, "to leave"… but, of course, I didn't do that. They are going to have work on how they talk to their guests because it was very unwelcoming.
Portion size was good (too much for me). Taste was okay — not great, but not bad either. There are definitely other Afghani restaurants in the area that I would recommend instead. There wasn't really anything memorable about Choopan Grill that would make want to go back there again.
Here's a picture of my plate — I had the Chicken Breast Kebab entree:
Food: 3.5
Staff: 3.5
Atmosphere: 4
Overall: 3.5
I went with a bunch of girls, and so got to 'sample' a few different dishes. I can honestly say I only liked what I ordered. I got the Chicken Kabab and it was juicy and delicious. I found a few of the other dishes to be on the dry and bland side (like the chicken shawarma).
Staff — Seemed friendly, but I guess because it's a new restaurant and they aren't very busy yet (we were the only ones there)… they pretty much watched us eat. Did.not.appreciate.that.at.ALL.
The place is decorated nicely though, which was a major plus! It's new so it was clean and welcoming.
A major downer — would not let us split the check in terms of giving them separate credit cards. Who doesn't do that? We either had to pay cash or put it all on one card… so it would be a hassle for someone to go there with a group of friends. I hope they change that soon.

Obama's Children's Book
The youngest person in my house is 22 (me!), so I am sure many would be surprised if they heard that we recently bought a children's book.
Well, it wasn't just any children's book – it was Barack Obama's "Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters":
I gotta admit, the book is pretty good – and I'm not just saying that because I'm a supporter of him.
All politics aside the story line is good, as is the moral of the story. It essentially introduces various famous Americans (13 of them) with various traits/characteristics that they are known for (and each introduction starts in the form of a "Have I told you…?" question). The core of the story is, of course, that America is made up of a diverse group of people from all sorts of backgrounds who all bring something different to the table and each one is as important as the other.
By the way, a 100% of the profits are being donated to a charity.
Have you read it? What did you think of it?

Kabab Paradise
Food: 5
Staff: 4.5
Atmosphere: 3.5
Overall: 4.5
I've had several things from here and have enjoyed them all.
My favorite is the Chicken Tikka Sandwich with fries. Their chicken wings are delicious, their hummus is great. I was hesitant yet anxious to try their fried chicken and that was great as well! I love fried chicken, but usually most places don't made it so great. Oh, and their lamb chops are delicious too — and I'm not even a meat fan usually! Their gyros are great — portion is great for two people to share in my opinion — as are all of their entrees.
This place has become a favorite for my family very fast.
It's a popular place here and is usually packed, but we can usually find a table. We live nearby though, so taking it to go is not a problem either.
It's closed on Mondays though! On more than a few occasions we have wanted to go or have actually driven there to then be reminded it is closed. 🙁

Aurora Moments Photography
A good photographer makes a world of a difference, don't you think?
My cousin, Samia, recently started a photography business of her own, called Aurora Moments Photography. She's based in New York (but does events in New Jersey and other local areas as well).
I'm not just saying this because she's my cousin, but she is a great photographer!
She actually started her business to cater towards Muslim brides who are looking for female photographers, but she does all sort of events — everything from portrait sessions to birthdays to graduation parties to weddings and everything in between.
Click here to check out some portfolio pictures on her Facebook fan page and you can contact Samia Ahmad at firstname.lastname@example.com for all of your photography needs.

Kate Bell
Her creative practice stems from a fascination for the spiritual connection between land, sea and sky, nature and mythology. The fragile boundary separating figuration and abstraction underlies her work. Her paintings are an emotional encounter, an embodiment of a sense of place through a continual dialogue between real and imagined geographies, both physical and psychological. Anomalies in land and seascapes harbour portals into other worlds through cracks, crevices, fissures, alignment of stones, sea caves, and the shoreline – thin places.
A close relationship with the Gower coast has provoked an on-going series of work, most recently paintings have been inspired by the poetry of Vernon Watkins, the Welsh metaphysical poet who also lived on the coast of Gower. The concept of space, both actual and pictorial, implications of time and space, movement through shifting tidelines, weather and light materialise in these paintings. Watkin's work responds to our coastal landscape, through experience, myth and legend. Kate is fascinated by combining these two art forms, responding to his poetry through line, colour, texture and shape. Kate knows the landscape of Gower well, having lived there most of her life and this helps her to work through sketches and paintings both in the environment but also through memory and imagination back in the studio.
Kate is a professional Artist, Lecturer and Creative Agent for Arts Council of Wales. Primarily a painter, she has also worked in ice and glass. For the past 30 years she has taught Art and Design in Secondary, Further and Higher education. She has an MA in Fine Art: Contemporary Dialogues from Swansea College of Art, UWTSD.
She has had several solo and group exhibitions in Wales and London and has works in private collections in the UK and Australia. She was awarded First prize at Queen Street Gallery Open 2019 and in February 2020 had a successful solo show at the Gallery, entitled 'The Listening Sea'

Monthly Mood Board : Jewels
October 18, 2018
I don't know about you guys but Pinterest is an endless source of inspiration for me from how I style my jewellery through to what colours and images inspire me the most . I often find that I can't quite articulate an idea that's sitting inside my head, my drawing skills leave a lot to be desired too, and so creating a mood board on Pinterest helps me focus on what it is I am trying to achieve . Lately I have been really lusting after big, juicy, colorful candied jewels, anything French (oui!) and the Heavenly bodies book filled with the jewel encrusted skeletons which if you read my last article and follow me on Instagram, you might be getting those vibes from me already.
I have multiple secret mood boards on pinterest that have been for my eyes only, which have helped me figure out how a collection of jewels is going to look, what themes I am drawing from or even stuff as mundane and very 'mum life' as a 'kids Halloween party' board. But I think i'm going to start making those boards public . No not the kids Halloween party one . That doesn't exactly tie in with my Jewelry vibe so i'll leave that one out, rest assured it's filled with tacky decoration ideas, spooky food photos and other fun Halloween themed photos' . But back to the Jewels !
I actually love the end result of my mood boards, it just sums up exactly what I envisioned when choosing the antique jewels and finding vintage charms to fit my theme. So I thought you might like a peak into what i'm thinking of when i'm scouring the antique markets and picking rings and necklaces . There is something satisfying about finding the exact piece I am after or at least something similar, and replacing out an image I saved on pinterest with one I have taken myself .
The mood boards will be named and at the moment I have two that you can feel free to browse through for inspiration or just a quick nose!
If you would like to take a look you can view my pinterest here.
Thanks for reading !

The Columbian Exchange Christopher Columbus History Essay

Christopher Columbus was a voyager, guide, and colonist, was born in Republic of Genoa. As he started his journey he completed his four voyages including first journey to the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa, Bahamas, Cuba, Hispaniola and Spain, then second voyage was the exploration of Caribbean sea and Hispaniola and Haiti then the third voyage was to verify the existence of a continent that King John II of Portugal claimed was located to the southwest of the Cape Verde Islands and Portuguese Porto Santo Island, South America, including the Orinoco River(Tobago and Concepcion (Grenada), Columbus made a fourth voyage, ostensibly in hunt of a westward route to the Indian Ocean and sailed to Central America. Those voyages, and his efforts to establish permanent settlements on the island of Hispaniola, started the Spanish colonization of the New World.
The Columbian Exchange, as well alleged the Grand Exchange refers to the barter of diseases, ideas, food, crops, and populations amid the New World and the Old World afterward the boating to the Americas by Christopher Columbus in 1492. "The term was coined in 1972 by Alfred W. Crosby, a historian at the University of Texas at Austin, in his eponymous work of environmental history" [1].
The Old World-by which we mean not only Europe, but the whole Eastern Hemisphere got from the Columbian Exchange in a number of ideas. Innovations of new supplies of metals are perhaps the finest known. But Old World also got new staple crops, like potatoes, sweet potatoes and cassava. Less calorie-intensive foods, like tomatoes, chili peppers, cacao, peanuts, and pineapples were also launched, and are now culinary centerpieces in most Old World countries, namely Italy, Greece, and other Mediterranean countries, India and Korea, Hungary, and Malaysia and Thailand. Tobacco, another New World crop, was so collectively accepted that it came to be used as a substitute for currency in many parts of the world. The swap over also drastically increased the availability of many Old World crops, like sugar and coffee, which were particularly compatible for the soils of the New World.
Columbus, cruising West in seek off to the east flavors and gold, brought about heritage revolutions that reached effectively every territory in the world. Europe was absolutely prepared for a change. The smaller and merchant categories had put up with a dull menu for years. Peasants commonly ate dark baked bread made with rye and wheat; cabbage soup and cheeses topped up out a usual serving of food. Wealthier families ate much of the identical things, but they enjoyed more variety in tastes, thanks to the obsession with Asian spices that first set Columbus on his way. The Americas may not have made customary spices and condiments such as clove, ginger, cardamom and almonds, but they made potatoes, corn and other colorful plantings that stimulated the 16th century palate. Peanuts and vanilla, also green beans, pineapple and turkey all broadened the horizons of European chefs.
"The first tomatoes to reach Europe were probably yellow, since the Italian word for it is "pomodro" "golden apple." While the tomato took root in every European culture, it truly conquered Italy, where the warm climate proved ideal for the source of rich red sauces. Still, Europeans were slow to accept it. Like many exotic foods including the far less assertive potato it was first thought to be either a poison or an aphrodisiac" [2].
The Americas were being invaded by new foods as well. Before Columbus, numerous native heritages were somewhat meatless. In the 16th century, composes food historian Reay Tannahill, Mexicans started their day "with a basin of maize porridge, sweetened with honey or spiced with red pepper. The major serving of food of the day was at the hottest time, in the early afternoon."
With Columbus came an explosion of new foods. Before Columbus, Peru's meat specialty had been the guinea pig; after the explorer's visits, Mexico and Peru suddenly had beef and pork, also milk and cheeses. Chickens, sheep and goats also provided new meats that quickly became staples. Columbus took vegetable seeds, wheat and sugar cane to the Caribbean in his later voyages. As the foods spread around the world and ingredients became shared, and so food came to be one of the pillars of national identity. Africa was also a major player in the food exchange. Thanks to Columbus, it got such crops as maize, sweet potatoes and green beans, which opened up new agricultural chances to a continent that had previously been confined to a relatively narrow spectrum of foodstuffs. Sokolov "is the epitome of how this country works: immigrants come to America looking for a better life, but bringing the best of their old culture with them happily, that always includes the food" [2].
Right from the start, Columbus considered to set up a sugar industry on Hispaniola much like the ones back home on the Canary and Madeira isles. So on his second voyage to the New World, he brought along some stalks of sugar cane. When the Indians started lowering from disease, the Spaniards went back to Africa. By the mid of the 16th years a nascent sugar industry completely dependent on very dark slave labor had taken contain in the Spanish Caribbean.
The dramatic change on Hispaniola prompted a Spanish historian to write: "There are so many Negroes in this island, as a result of the sugar factories, that the land seems an effigy or an image of Ethiopia itself" [3]. Thus began a accord between sugar production and African bull work that was to boss Caribbean life for about four centuries.
Slavery grew added important as European crusaders bedeviled the sugar plantations of the eastern Mediterranean from their Arab predecessors. By the 15th century, African disciplinarian supplied the activity for the Spanish and Portuguese plantations on the Atlantic islands off the bank of Africa. To the Spanish way of thinking, then, African disciplinarian were the analytic band-aid to the activity shortages in the New World.
While Spaniards in the Caribbean were the aboriginal to aftermath and consign sugar, their beat efforts were anon outstripped by developments on the American mainland. Sugarcane prospered in the Spanish territories of Mexico, Paraguay and Peru. From 1526, the Portuguese had amorphous shipment sugar from Brazil to Lisbon in bartering quantities.
By the end of the 17th century, the British had as well accustomed stakes in the Caribbean, and bull work became a basic allotment of their anew acclimatized colonies about from the start. Dutch traders, who had ballast in Brazil, aboriginal alien sugar authoritative to English colonists on the island of Barbados in the 1630's.
As Columbus fabricated his voyages to the north, south and Central America he took some catching diseases with him including mumps, measles, whooping cough, smallpox, cholera, gonorrhea and chicken fever.
"The year was 1520. Cortes had already entered the capital of the Aztec empire and imprisoned Moctezuma when he received notice of the arrival of Narvaez at the port of Veracruz, with express orders to apprehend him. Cortes left for Veracruz accompanied by a few men and soundly defeated Narvaez in just a few hours. When he returned victorious to Tenochtitlan, he discovered that the Aztecs were readied for combat. Pedro de Alvarado, who had stayed behind in Mexico as commander-in-chief during Cortes's absence, had uncovered a secret insurrection under the guise of a fiesta and proceeded to massacre women, old people, and warriors dressed in festive costume, as well as a large number of children in the streets of the great city"[4]. As he came aback he founded added able adversity than his field guns, horses, and crossbows smallpox and measles epidemics abutting the acquisition army and laid decay to the abundant Aztec empire.
Some historians anticipate these diseases were not ancient to the Aztec apple and accordingly Aztec doctors did not apperceive of any blazon of treatment, so the epidemics advance rapidly throughout the Americas. The aboriginal abstracts offered by the chroniclers bury these illnesses at atomic in account to the abstemious in the basic of the abundant empire, Tenochtitlan.
The chronicles of Columbus already allege of assorted catching communities afflicted by smallpox in 1507, in the afresh apparent islands and after in Haiti in 1517, which makes aboveboard the antecedent of the atramentous man as transmitter of the disease. Some account agenda that in 1525, if the Extremenian conquistador was authoritative a cruise through those lands, he begin the apple of Tumluz bisected destroyed, "because of an abundant bane that occurred to them" [4]. The supposition point with greater affirmation against the achievability that the affliction came from Mexico, back it is accepted that over the advance of those 5 years the epidemics destroyed the Mayas and Guatemaltecos, implying a alive appear the south that could able-bodied accept accomplished the Incas by agency of traders. It can be added that in 1532 Pedro de Alvarado beatific a letter to Carlos V, anachronous September 1st, in which he says: "In all of New Spain there came a bane over the citizenry that they alarm measles." Thus the argument comes down to which affliction the Aztecs were adversity from if they were defeated by Cortes and his allies. That it ability accept been either smallpox or measles is pecata minuta, compared with the after-effects it produced in favor of the fistful of men that dared to accost the abundant Aztec empire.
