MOBILE, Ala. – To help prevent coronavirus spread, the Mobile Police Department has taken steps to protect the health of its personnel and community members. Some services at the City of Mobile Animal Shelter, Impound Yard and Records Unit have been cancelled or changed.
Effective immediately through April 6, the City of Mobile Animal Shelter has cancelled all pet adoptions in an effort to prevent large crowds from gathering. And, the animal shelter is no longer accepting stray animal drop-offs.
The Impound Yard Vehicle Auction is usually held every second Tuesday of the month. The vehicle auction scheduled for the month of April has been cancelled.
Citizens who need to pick up an impounded vehicle from the Impound Yard are asked to call 251-208-2585 to arrange an appointment to do so.
Instead of making a trip to police headquarters to get a police report from the Records Unit, citizens are encouraged to make the request online. Accident reports and incident reports (only for burglaries and thefts) can be requested at mobilepd.org. False alarm fines can be paid online as well.
The Mobile Police Department won’t be offering fingerprinting to the public until further notice.

"Bridgit Mendler knows for a fact that blondes have more fun. The singer-actress says so herself in her catchy, tongue-in-cheek track “Blonde.” With a beloved TV show and successful debut album under her belt, the rising star with long, flaxen locks has yet to prove the maxim wrong. Her dimples don’t hurt, either.
“I just had the desire to write a song about being blonde!” Mendler says. “But no one should feel ruled by their stereotype. Everyone should have the freedom to be who they are.” And Mendler, who is just shy of her 21st birthday, has always been a performer. She was raised in Washington D.C., where she says, “There would always be a dance party after dinner.” When she was eight, her family moved to San Francisco. At 13, she got her first gig, a bit part on General Hospital. By 16, she was settled in Los Angeles. “I think if I could go back, I would embrace the high school experience more,” Mendler admits. “That’s something that you can’t get much of in the industry—the chance to spend time with peers. But at the time, I had tunnel vision.”

Tata Power Solar bags Solar PV EPC Company of the Year
Tata Power Solar, India’s largest integrated solar company bagged the coveted India Solar Week 2018 for Outstanding Contribution to Industry Development in the category of Solar PV EPC Company of the Year.
Power-packed M&A thrust
It can be a pure 'make-in-India' story in the making. Ever since the US has decided to pull out of the historic 'Paris Accord on Climate Change,' the weather for the renewable sector in the country is turning out to be exciting.
Vikram Solar commissions 80 MW in Guj
Vikram Solar said it has commissioned an 80 MW solar grid-connected PV power project, developed under the Jawaharal Nehru National Solar Mission Phase II Batch IV Tranche-I Scheme at Gujarat solar park for Gujarat Industries Power Company. According to a company statement, Vikram Solar will also provide O&M service to the plant for a period of 10 years.
The Solar Boom Marches On
Thomas Edison had in 1931 during a conversation with Henry Ford mentioned, ´I´d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power!
I hope we don´t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that.´ It appears that Government of India (GoI) is following the same spirit while implementing the largest renewable capacity expansion program in the world
Coal will continue to be mainstay for power generation
At the 21st Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), COP 21 in Paris, a resolution on limiting the use of coal across countries was one of the proposals put up for consideration.
ACME to supply power at Rs.4.43 per unit in AP
ACME, a green energy player, has bagged tenders for developing 200 MW of solar power projects in separate bids conducted by Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) and NTPC in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, respectively, it said in a statement. ACME won the largest share of 150 MW out of 400 MW at fixed tariff of Rs.4.43 per unit in addition to viability gap fund of Rs.55 lakh per MW.
Rural Electrification | A Dream that must come true
Over 300 million Indians are deprived of uninterrupted electricity supply more than 65 years after independence. In the Union Budget, the government has announced 2018 as the year by when all Indian villages will be fully electrified.

TOPEKA, Kan. — With the first round of college basketball's March Madness underway, Kansas legislators moved closer Friday toward legalizing sports betting, though big disagreements remained over where fans should be able to place wagers.
A state House committee approved a bill that would allow sports betting at four state-owned casinos, racetracks, as many as 1,200 retail stores that sell Kansas Lottery tickets, online and through apps linked to casinos, tracks and the lottery. It next goes to the full House for debate, possibly as early as next week.
The Senate approved [kslegislature.org] sports betting earlier this month, but its proposal [kslegislature.org] would limit live, online and app wagering to four state-owned casinos, which are operated by private companies under contracts with the lottery. If the House approves a bill, negotiators for the two chambers would have to resolve the differences over who gets to offer wagering.
A federal law barred sports betting in Kansas and most states until the U.S. Supreme Court struck it down [apnews.com] in 2018. Twenty-five states now allow sports betting, according to the American Gaming Association.
"One of the main reasons that we're trying to do sports betting is there is a huge black market," said Sen. Jeff Longbine, an Emporia Republican. "We would rather have them in a legal, regulated environment."
Kansas officials do not believe the state's take from sports betting would be large, perhaps only several million dollars a year.
But even in a conservative-led, Republican-controlled Legislature, many lawmakers want to tap into wagering that's already occurring in other states or illegally. The University of Kansas has one of college basketball's premiere men's programs, Kansas State University's football team is regularly competitive, and the Kansas City Chiefs are riding high.
The state lottery's oversight of sports betting would be required under the Kansas Constitution, just as it is for casinos other than those operated by Native American tribes.
Supporters of the Senate plan argue that limiting live, online and mobile-app betting to state-owned casino means they - not the lottery - assume the risk of losing money on big events such as the March Madness college basketball tournament or the Super Bowl.
However, Rep. John Barker, an Abilene Republican and the House committee's chair, questioned whether allowing lottery retailers to take wagers would expose the state to much actual risk.
"Over an extended period of time, the odds are always with the house," Barker said.

Don't wipe away history for sensitivity
I am starting this letter with a quote by Syd Moore: “Disregard for the past will never do us any good. Without it we cannot know truly who we are.”
There are many more quotes like this one that remind us that it may not be a good thing to hide or forget history. The latest trend in political correctness seems that many are so offended with our American past that we must remove any monument or plaque that reminds us of an event or someone who’s values we don’t agree with. We have even gone so far as trying to forget and remove traces of the 28th President, Woodrow Wilson, who was a Democrat now deemed racist. Cities across the nation are now removing monuments that even hint to the confederacy. Are some so sensitive that they are willing to remove and forget history like it never happened?
Maybe we can make a change by remembering every day, in looking at the monuments and plaques in our communities. This is a reminder that we should never go back. Yes we may still have a long way to go, but let’s not forget or remove our history.
The history of this country has sometimes been ugly, but we must celebrate all that is great about this country and not change or forget our American history ….It is who we are.
“Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” — George Santayana

Of the year 1848 the British historian Trevelyan remarked that it was the great turning point at which history failed to turn. Given the accumulation of tensions and conflicts since the Congress of Vienna, nationalistic passions, the miserable condition of the peasantry, entrepreneurs chafing under restrictions placed on them, intellectuals stifled by censorship and other restrictions on freedom of expression, it was nearly a miracle that a dynasty that was known for its mediocrity more than for anything else was able to survive the upheavals of 1848–49 and reestablish itself with its powers undiminished. The lack of creative leadership among revolutionary forces, except in Hungary, was no doubt a factor in the failure but there was also the almost mystical staying power of the Habsburgs in face of all adversity, it gave them reason to trust divine providence to which, more than to their subjects, they felt responsible.
The first reaction to the news from Paris erupted in Hungary, where Lajos Kossuth early in March demanded a democratic constitution providing for popular representation. Vienna liberals quickly took their cue; ad hoc assemblies composed mainly of staid bourgeois began drafting petitions to the throne almost identical to the one issued by Kossuth. On March 13, demonstrations, heretofore peaceful, erupted into armed clashes in the Austrian capital when a crowd of students surrounded the parliament building in the Herrengasse and police fired on them; a number of demonstrators died. Soon violence spread to other parts of the city. The two ranking archdukes on the state conference decided to offer up to the crowd the aged Metternich, the most resented figure in the empire. That evening Metternich, after a feeble attempt to display his steadfastness, resigned and took the long road into exile. As had happened in France, the disorders were largely confined to the capital; apart from some minor outbreaks in Graz, the countryside remained quiet. But outside the German lands, in Hungary, Italy, Bohemia, Galicia, even in Croatia, the ferment was unmistakable. The Vienna court hesitated between making concessions and applying force. The latter was the customary course of action but tempers were too explosive to employ it without grave risk. Mere personnel changes in the government after the flight of Metternich were not likely to satisfy the demonstrators. The mention of a constitution, on the other hand, even if insincerely meant, still carried magic. Accordingly, on April 25 the new interior minister, Baron Pillersdorf, proclaimed one, though only for the hereditary lands. It provided for a bicameral legislature, the lower house elected by adult male taxpayers, the upper named by the emperor from among landed magnates and trusted aristocrats. The emperor, according to this forlorn document, had an absolute veto over measures passed by either house.
The draft did not calm revolutionary passions; crowds invaded the royal palace, demanding the withdrawal of Pillersdorf’s proposed constitution. Ferdinand and his court, insofar as they had any policy at all, geared their reaction to the disorders to the degree of danger they represented. By May passions seemed to have cooled and the emperor attempted to dissolve the national guard, which had made itself responsible for maintaining order in the capital. This occasioned another uprising and, reluctantly, the royal court decided that Vienna was no longer a safe city in which to reside. Ferdinand fled to the town of Innsbruck in the loyal Tyrol, where he was received with thunderous enthusiasm. However, Vienna was still the functional nerve center of a sprawling empire, and the streets there were ruled by a bourgeois national guard, well-to-do men of progressive views, whose aspirations did not go further than royal assurances for the protection of, first and foremost, private property. They were joined by “academic legions,” composed largely of university youth. In June the government at last convoked the parliament provided for in Pillersdorf’s draft, the Reichstag as it was called, but that body, made up of a majority of Slavs, rejected the very constitution on which its authority rested. Discussions of proposed reforms continued but the only one of import that emerged, on September 5, was one calling for the emancipation of the serfs.
In August the emperor and his entourage, satisfied that responsible elements were once again in charge in Vienna, returned to the capital from Innsbruck. By now, however, events in Hungary rather than developments in Austria determined the course of events. Kossuth asked the help of first the court and then the newly elected Reichstag in curbing Croatian ambitions, but he met with refusal. There was no single political will left in Vienna. The court, stubbornly conservative, granted only such concessions as it could not avoid if it wanted to maintain itself, always in the hope that once order was reestablished it could withdraw them. The popular mood in Vienna, however, was still revolutionary and favored any action that defied the Habsburgs; in the matter of Jelačić’s defiance, it sided with the brave Hungarians. When an Austrian artillery company under orders to march against Hungary crossed the city, crowds prevented its passage and bloody street battles erupted. Vienna once again became unsafe for the royal house, and Ferdinand and his court moved, this time to the Moravian city of Olmütz. A few days later the Reichstag too left Vienna and reconvened in another Moravian town, Kremsier. Obviously though, these were temporary expedients. The displaced court made preparations to reconquer Vienna by military means. On October 31 Marshal Windischgrätz, having reduced to rubble the Bohemian capital of Prague, where a disorderly pan-Slavic conference was meeting, took his artillery to the walls of Vienna and inflicted a similar fate on the capital. Royal authority was finally reestablished, and even though the price was high, the court was willing to pay it. The time for concessions had passed. They had led to nothing but demands for further reforms, and terror became the order of the day. Active and suspected revolutionaries in the Austrian capital, among them lawmakers and respectable citizens, including a number of journalists, were rounded up, summarily tried, and often shot. Military force and military justice accomplished what months of political maneuvering could not; Vienna was secure as the Habsburg capital and reform was off the agenda.
(1768–1853) commander of Austrian forces against Hungarians in 1849
Illegitimate son of the elector of the German state of Hesse, Baron von Haynau entered Austrian military service in 1801 and fought in the wars against Napoleon. He remained in service after the war and saw action during the Italian uprising against Austrian rule in 1848. In April 1849, under orders as military governor to suppress the revolt in the Lombard city of Brescia, he acted with such severity that he earned the nickname “Hyena of Brescia.” In short order his services were required on another front: the Hungarian uprising against Austria was still in full force. In April 1849 FRANCIS JOSEPH, emperor for only four months, was compelled to seek military help against the Hungarians from the Russian czar, Nicholas I. Pending the arrival of Russian forces, at the recommendation of Marshal Radetzky, who had conquered the Italian revolt, he appointed Haynau commander in chief of the Austrian forces engaged against the Hungarian rebel army. True, Haynau’s personnel file contained items that might have given the emperor pause, but then, the chief job of the general was to liquidate a stubborn revolt. A previous commander of his had this to say: “Haynau is 61 years old, but he looks in his seventies, is of ill health. He thoroughly knows the rules of military service but seeks glory in sharpening those rules so that he could proceed against men he doesn’t like. These men he torments with calculating hatred. He is well versed in strategic studies but is possessed of an avarice that offends his military honor. Because of his moral failings everybody in contact with him wishes to see him go, for no one likes to be in his company in military service. It would be best to pension him off.” Possibly though these were just the qualities the young emperor deemed useful in dealing with rebels.
On August 16, 1849, when the Hungarian forces had already surrendered to the Russians, though the news had not yet reached the capital, a council of ministers in Vienna instructed Haynau to deal with the rebels leniently, to allow political and military officers to go abroad within a fixed time period, and enlisted men to return home. But four days later, with Hungarian surrender an accomplished fact, the emperor, under the influence of his mother Sophie and his premier FELIX SCHWARZENBERG, who declared that “We must not shrink from a little blood bath,” decided to deal with the former insurgents harshly and gave Haynau full powers to carry out the retributions. Haynau prepared to have some hangings as early as August 24, days after the Hungarian army had laid down its arms, but the Russians intervened. They did not want to be witness to the retributions they themselves had helped to bring about. Also, there still were pockets of Hungarian resistance, and they might become more determined if the rebels knew what fate awaited them. But once all military action ceased and the Russians had retreated, nothing stood in the way of reprisals. The first victims were 13 military officers hanged in ARAD, and the former Hungarian minister president BATTHYÁNY, executed in Budapest. Under Haynau’s dispositions, the summary trials and condemnations continued. Just how many fell victim to them has never been established. According to Austrian statistics, during the fall and winter of 1849, 120 persons were executed following court procedures. Many more were shot “trying to escape.” About 1,200 were sentenced to prison. Thousands emigrated while 40,000 to 50,000 men were conscripted into the imperial army.
These actions occasioned vocal protests from abroad. British foreign secretary Palmerston was quoted as saying, “The Austrians are the worst beasts among those who ever called themselves cultured people; their atrocities in Galicia, Italy, Hungary and Transylvania can only be compared to the outrages of African and Haitian negroes.” Under the influence of foreign protests, and because most of the political criminals had already been dealt with, the Austrian Council of Ministers on October 26 banned further executions. But Haynau remained unimpressed and ordered further condemnations and hangings. It placed the emperor in an embarrassing position. If he dismissed Haynau he in effect impeached his own judgment. After a decent interval he bestowed on the general the dignity of baron (Freiherr) and then, largely at the instance of his new minister of the interior ALEXANDER BACH, he dismissed him in July 1850. Haynau then made several trips abroad, but his reception was so hostile, at times, as in London in 1850 and Brussels in 1852, leading to mob violence, that he had to return home. In 1853, with troubles again brewing in Italy, the emperor recalled him to active service; only his death on March 14, 1853, prevented another grimly memorable tenure as military governor.
The First Punic War began when both Rome and Carthage answered a call for assistance from different factions within the same Sicilian community. Throughout the resulting twentythree- year conflict the fighting was to focus overwhelmingly on Sicily as each side attacked the other’s allies and strongholds on the island. Although there was much land fighting, this was overwhelmingly a naval war, and all the decisive moves occurred at sea. Rome’s first military expedition outside the Italian peninsula was also to be her first large-scale experience of war at sea.
The great naval battles of Greek history had been fought principally by triremes, galleys with three banks of oars with a single rower to each oar. By the third century the trireme (a ‘three’) had been outclassed by the quinquereme (a ‘five’), but the precise nature of this ship remains obscure. Clearly it had something, probably rowers, at a ratio of five to three compared to the trireme, but it is not clear how these were deployed. There were two basic tactical options for all sizes of ancient warships. Either they attempted to grapple with an enemy ship and board it, relying on the crew’s numbers or fighting quality to capture the ship in melee, or they tried to ram the enemy and pierce his hull or shear off his oars. Although galleys were usually fitted with a mast and sail, the wind was too uncertain an agent of motion to allow them to fight when they did not possess missile weapons capable of inflicting serious harm on the enemy. Mobility depended on a ship’s rowers, and galleys were effectively constructed around these. In proportion to their size, galleys carried far larger crews than later sailing ships and nearly all of these men were rowers. Space was highly limited, especially so on a quinquereme which, despite their 40 per cent increase in crew, do not seem to have been much larger than triremes. The weight of the rowers provided much of a galley’s ballast, making it unwise for any great number of them to leave their seats at the same time. There was also very little space available on a ship to carry provisions of food and water. The result was that not only was travel by sea uncomfortable, but very long, continuous journeys were simply impossible. A voyage of more than a few days between friendly ports was risky: If possible the galley was beached each night and the crew allowed to rest, but this was only practical when the shore was not hostile. Most naval battles throughout history have tended to occur relatively close to the shore, largely as a result of the real difficulty fleets had in locating each other in the vast expanse of ocean. In the ancient world this was an absolute necessity, simply because the fleets could not risk moving too far from the shore. Sicily provided the ideal theatre for a naval conflict because its numerous anchorages were within practical range of the fleets operating from home bases in Italy and North Africa.
Geography and the might of the Carthaginian navy meant that the conflict was likely to be dominated by sea-power, but at the beginning of the war Rome was not a naval power, largely because she had never needed to be in the past. She may have possessed a small number of ships, and some of her Italian allies certainly had their own navies, but they could not have hoped to form a serious rival to the Punic fleet, especially since it is possible that no state in Italy at that time possessed any quinqueremes. When in 261-260 BC the Romans decided to build a hundred quinqueremes, Polybius claims that they copied the design of a Carthaginian ship which had run aground and been captured earlier in the war. The story is one example of the pride the Romans took in their ability to copy the best weapons and tactics of their enemies, but may still be genuine. Polybius states that they trained the ships’ crews while the fleet was under construction, building tiered benches on land to practise rowing. Yet even with this training, the new Roman fleet lacked the experience and skill of the well-drilled Carthaginian crews and the naval war did not start well for the Romans. The fleet’s commander was surprised in harbour and all the seventeen ships with him were captured by a Punic squadron.
The tactics of ramming required skilful handling of a ship and the Romans may have realized that they could not match their opponents in this, as from the beginning of the war they were to rely on boarding the enem~ With this in mind they designed the ‘Crow’ (corvus), a boarding ramp fitted with a spike which stuck fast in an opponent’s deck, locking the two ships together. Once grappled in this way no amount of skill on the part of the Carthaginian crew could break their ship free and the Roman legionaries swarmed across the bridge and settled the affair with their ferocity in hand-to-hand combat. The new device was tested when the massed fleets clashed off Mylae in north-eastern Sicily, 130 Carthaginian ships facing a slightly smaller number of Roman ones. The Carthaginian admiral, commanding the fleet in a ship that had once belonged to Pyrrhus, was confident in his ‘crews’ superiority and attacked aggressively. The Carthaginians did not realize the purpose of the corvi until they began to drop, the beaks spearing into their decks and grappling them fast. Thirty ships, including the flagship, were captured by the Roman infantry, who flooded over the ramps. Attempts to swing round and outflank the Romans were foiled when the Romans turned to face or swung their corvi round to drop over either side of the ship. The battle was a total success for the Romans with between thirty and fifty ships captured by the end of the da~ The prows (rostrata) of these prizes were cut off and sent to decorate the Speaker’s platform in Rome, which in time gave it a new name.
In 256 BC the Romans repeated their success at the battle of Ecnomus, at which each side probably mustered well over 200 ships (Polybius gives the Carthaginian strength as 350 and the Roman as 330 which, if correct, would make this one of the largest naval battles in history). The Carthaginians had found no counter to the corvi, but in the next years few years the weather dealt Rome a series of severe blows when three fleets were wrecked in storms. Hundreds of ships were lost and the drowned numbered tens of thousands. Poor Roman seamanship may have been to blame, but it is also possible that the corvi’s weight made the ships less seaworthy. Then at Drepana in 249 BC the Romans suffered their only defeat in a fleet action, a disaster blamed on impiety when the consul, Publius Claudius Pulcher, ignored the unfavourable auspices. When the chickens refused to eat (and so signify divine favour), he is said to have hurled them over the side, proclaiming that if they would not eat, then they would drink. These Roman disasters and Carthaginian exhaustion brought a lull, but in 242 BC the war was decided at sea when the Romans, having risked the creation of another fleet, smashed the last Punic fleet near the Aegates Islands. In the resulting peace treaty Carthage gave up both her fleet and all her possessions in Sicily.
|Emperor of Austria
King of Hungary, Lombardy and Venetia, and Bohemia

|Successor||Francis Joseph I|
|Spouse||Maria Anna of Sardinia|
|Ferdinand Charles Leopold Joseph Francis Marcelin|
|Father||Francis II, Holy Roman Emperor|
|Mother||Maria Theresa of the Two Sicilies|
|Born||April 19, 1793|
|Died||June 29, 1875 (aged 82)|
Ferdinand (April 19, 1793 – June 29, 1875) was Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary, King of Lombardy-Venetia, King of Bohemia. He chose to abdicate, after a series of revolts in 1848.
Ferdinand has been depicted as feeble-minded and incapable of ruling, but although he was epileptic and certainly not intelligent, he kept a coherent and legible diary and has even been said to have a sharp wit. The up to twenty seizures he had per day, though, severely restricted his ability to rule with any effectiveness.
Though he was not declared incapacitated, a regent’s council (Archduke Luis, Count Kolowrat and Prince Metternich) steered the government. His marriage to Princess Maria Anna of Sardinia (1803-1884) was probably never consummated, nor is he believed to have had any other liaisons. He is famous for his one coherent command: when his cook told him he could not have apricot dumplings because they were out of season, he said “I’m the Emperor, and I want dumplings!” (German: Ich bin der Kaiser und ich will Knödel.)
As the revolutionaries of 1848 were marching on the palace, he is supposed to have asked Metternich for an explanation. When Metternich answered that they were making a revolution, Ferdinand is supposed to have said “But are they allowed to do that?” (Viennese German: Ja, dürfen’s denn des?) He was convinced by Felix zu Schwarzenberg to abdicate in favour of his nephew, Franz Joseph (the next in line was Ferdinand’s younger brother Franz Karl, but he was persuaded to waive his succession rights in favour of his son) who would occupy the Austrian throne for the next sixty-eight years.
Ferdinand recorded the events in his diary : “The affair ended with the new Emperor kneeling before his old Emperor and Lord, that is to say, me, and asking for a blessing, which I gave him, laying both hands on his head and making the sign of the Holy Cross … then I embraced him and kissed our new master, and then we went to our room. Afterward I and my dear wife heard Holy Mass … After that I and my dear wife packed our bags”
Ferdinand was the last King of Bohemia to be crowned as such. Due to his sympathy with Bohemia (where he spent the rest of his life in Prague Castle) he was given the Czech nickname “Ferdinand V, the Good” (Ferdinand Dobrotivý). In Austria, Ferdinand was similarly nicknamed “Ferdinand der Gütige” (Ferdinand the Benign), but also ridiculed as “Gütinand der Fertige” (Goodinand the Finished).
He is interred in tomb number 62 in the Imperial Crypt in Vienna.
The Habsburg regime, in fact, was not especially oppressive – at least not by the standards of modern dictatorships. Its bureaucracy was generally honest and efficient. Moreover, Metternich used his considerable diplomatic influence to press mild reforms on the more benighted absolute rulers whose intransigence threatened to provoke violent opposition: in 1821 he promised military aid to King Ferdinand I of Naples against the monarch’s rebellious subjects, on the condition that Ferdinand made some minor concessions. Despite all the talk of the rule of law and of the benevolence of the monarchy, Metternich and other conservatives feared that, should constitutional or revolutionary movements have arisen among the diverse peoples of the Habsburg monarchy, then the very integrity of the empire would be endangered. In theory, it was held together by the subjects’ loyalty to the dynasty, the common institutions of the monarchy (including the administration and the imperial army) and, although there were religious minorities such as Jews and Protestants, the Catholicism of most Austrian subjects. In 1815 perhaps only the Germans, the Magyars, the Poles and the Italians had a deep sense of their own national identity. The first three, in particular, also dominated the other subject-nationalities of the empire, politically and socially. In Hungary the Magyar gentry lorded over the peasants who in the north were Slovaks, in the east were Transylvanian Romanians and in the south were Serbs or Croats. In Galicia the Poles tended to be the landlords holding the Ukrainian peasantry in such a state of servitude that they were practically beasts of burden. The Czechs, at least, with their high standards of education and (by 1848) the most advanced manufacturing base in the Habsburg monarchy, were beginning to challenge German hegemony in Bohemia, but one of the seething resentments among the non-Germans was that since the machinery of the state was centred in Vienna, it was dominated by German officials, whose language was usually the official medium in the law, education and administration. Even so, a developed sense of national identity was primarily shared by the aristocratic elites and the urban, middle classes, who were of course precisely the people most frustrated that opportunities in the bureaucracy, the law and in higher education were closed off unless one spoke German. This had not yet trickled down to the mass of peasants, many of whom saw the Emperor as their guardian against the depredations of their landlords, but the very fact that social difference coincided with ethnic divisions would aggravate the frequently bloody conflicts among the nationalities of Central Europe.
The resentment of the Magyars against what they saw as German dominance and overbearing Habsburg authority was potentially very dangerous to the empire. Unlike most of the other nationalities, the Magyars had a constitutional voice: the Hungarians had a diet, or parliament, which was dominated by the Magyar nobility, the clergy and the burghers of the free royal towns. Thus the ‘Hungarian nation’ – meaning in contemporary parlance those who were represented in the diet – made up a small proportion of the total population. The rest were legally defined, with graphic aptness, as the misera plebs contribuens – the poor tax-paying plebians (Latin was still, to the chagrin of patriotic Magyars, the official language of Hungarian politics and administration). The Magyar nobility none the less consisted of a fairly sizeable proportion of the Hungarian population – some 5 per cent compared to an estimated 1 per cent in pre-revolutionary France – and some of them were poor enough to be dubbed the ‘sandalled nobles’, since, it was said, they were so penniless that they could not afford boots. Yet, since these men only had their privileges and titles to distinguish them from the rest of the toiling masses, they were often the most resistant to any reform that endangered their status. Although the Habsburg Emperor, who also held the title of King of Hungary, could summon and dismiss the diet at will (and Emperor Francis sulkily refused to call the troublesome parliament between 1812 and 1825), it was difficult to raise taxation without consulting it, so it met in 1825, 1832–6, 1839–40, 1843–4 and, most dramatically, in 1847–8. Moreover, even when the parliament was not in session, the Hungarian gentry entrenched their opposition to the Habsburg monarchy in the fifty-five counties, where they elected and salaried the local officials, and where their assemblies (or ‘congregations’), which often met annually, were sometimes so bold as to claim the right to reject royal legislation.
In 1815 the Italians of Lombardy and Venetia fell under Habsburg rule. They, too, had an institutional outlet because they both had congregations, chosen from among local landowners and the towns, as well as the united ‘Congregations General’, which drew together delegates from the two provinces. These assemblies had the right to decide how to implement laws handed down by the government, represented by a viceroy living in Milan, but not to make legislation of their own. The Habsburgs had to tread carefully, for northern Italy was one of the jewels in their crown: Lombardy’s fertile, irrigated plains were a bright patchwork of wheat, of well-kept vines and of mulberry bushes, upon which silk worms produced their precious fibres. The duchy’s capital and, to the irritation of the proud Venetians, of the two provinces together, was Milan, which was culturally one of the most vibrant cities in Europe, thanks in part to the lighter touch of the censor, as compared with elsewhere in the Habsburg Empire. Lombardy-Venetia accounted for a sixth of the monarchy’s population, but contributed close to a third of its tax revenue – a fact that was not lost on Italian patriots. The Austrians worked hard to ensure that northern Italy was well and fairly governed, but the inevitable tensions arose. Educated Lombards and Venetians grumbled that Austrians occupied some 36,000 government posts, preventing Italians from enjoying their fair share of state patronage.
Outside Hungary and Lombardy-Venetia, there were no representative institutions worthy of the name in the Habsburg Empire. Since 1835 the Emperor had been the mentally disabled Ferdinand (in one famous outburst, he yelled at his courtiers, ‘I am the Emperor and I want dumplings!’). He was loved by his subjects, who affectionately referred to him as ‘Ferdy the Loony’, but of necessity the task of government was left to a council (or Staatskonferenz), dominated by Metternich. The rejection of constitutional government made repression almost unavoidable, since Metternich’s political vision would not admit the legitimacy of any opposition. There was a secret police, which operated out of offices on the Herrengasse in Vienna, but the number of officers was small – some twenty-five, including thirteen censors – so in the imperial capital they relied upon the regular police (which also handled a plethora of other tasks), while in the provinces local bureaux had to deal with both regular and secret policing. This was not a particularly intense system of surveillance, but it is also true that the activities of printers, publishers and writers were hemmed in with a range of petty, irritating regulations.10 Since only one of four categories of books was fully permitted, this fostered a climate that assumed a publication would be forbidden unless it was explicitly allowed.
The repression was particularly tough in Russia, the second of Europe’s pre-eminent absolutist regimes. If Metternich cast Austria in the role of Central Europe’s policeman, then Tsar Nicholas I saw himself as gendarme for the entire continent. The Russian empire had been in his iron, autocratic grip since the death of Alexander I in 1825. He had founded the notorious Third Section, the secret police, an organisation which had a tiny number of officials, but which worked through the gendarmerie and a larger number of informants, who made as many as five thousand denunciations a year. The very existence of police spies created an atmosphere in which it took a brave soul to express dissent openly. One widely believed myth held that in one office of the Third Section headquarters in Saint Petersburg there was a trap door: during a seemingly innocuous conversation, a perfectly innocent individual summoned before the police officials could be lured into saying a minor indiscretion, whereupon a lever would be pulled and the victim would fall into a dungeon below to be subjected to all sorts of unspeakable horrors.
The real oppression was bad enough for those who dared to voice their thoughts too loudly. In 1836, when the liberal intellectual Petr Chaadaev lambasted Russia for its backwardness, he met the fate that would be shared by some twentieth-century Soviet dissidents: the government declared him insane and confined him to an asylum. Even (or perhaps, given his quick temper, especially) the great poet Pushkin had to tread carefully: he was tolerated because the Tsar liked his work, but even he was subjected to the occasional rap on the knuckles. Intellectuals and writers cautiously circulated their writings in manuscript among friends first, and only later approached publishers – if they approached them at all. The Tsarist regime did not only fear dissent from among Russia’s intellectuals, it was anxious – perhaps more justifiably – of the possibility of a mass uprising by the peasantry, twenty million of whom were serfs and who had risen up with startling vengeance in the past, most recently under the renegade Cossack Emilian Pugachev in the early 1770s. It also worried about opposition from the downtrodden subject nationalities of the Empire, especially the Poles, who bore their subjugation only between fits of rebelliousness.
Since 1795 the old Polish kingdom (except for the Napoleonic interlude of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, established in 1807), had been wiped off the map, partitioned between Russia, Prussia and Austria – and this was confirmed at the peace congress. The three ‘eastern monarchies’ therefore tried (in vain) to asphyxiate Polish nationalism under their combined weight.
SOUTH-EAST ASIAN EXPLORATION
Ming Chinas brief flirtation with overseas expansion provides unequivocal evidence of the remarkable competence of Chinese shipwrights, navigators and sailors. Chinese mariners had long traded in the same waters without official sanction, but seafarers ranked low in the Confucian social hierarchy and received little attention from court historians and chroniclers. The inset shows an early sixteenth-century Portuguese nao silhouetted against a nine-masted Ming treasure ship.
The Chinese sphere stretched from the Sea of Japan to the Straits of Malacca. China was culturally and economically dominant in the region and had the potential for naval mastery, a potential that was actually realized under the southern Sung dynasty (1127-1279), although we know little about the details. By the thirteenth century, as travellers Marco Polo and ibn- Battutah attested and nautical archaeologists have confirmed, junks engaged in long-distance trade were as stoutly built and as seaworthy as any ocean- going vessel afloat. But with few exceptions, after the Sung dynasty, China’s rulers focused their attention on terrestrial affairs. Of critical importance, the mandarins (the Confucian literati responsible for day-to-day governance) were at best ambivalent about overseas trade, particularly when conducted by Chinese. After overthrowing the Sung dynasty, the Mongol Yuan dynasty (1260-1368) mobilized Chinese and Korean shipyards and mariners to mount massive invasions of Japan in 1274 and 1281. Both invasions failed, and in the ensuing years the Yuan became increasingly sinicized and turned their backs to the sea. Mandarin attitudes prevailed thereafter, save for a brief interlude under the first emperors of the Ming dynasty (1368-1644).
The Ming were an anomaly, a native dynasty founded by warrior kings who sought actively to expand China’s boundaries by land and suzerainty by sea. They did so at sea by means of treasure fleets, so called because one of their main functions was to collect tribute in the form of ambassadors, precious metals, gems, exotic animals and other esoterica. Enormous in scope and competent in execution, these fleets sailed seven times between 1405 and 1434, under the eunuch admiral Cheng Ho, visiting Java and destinations as far afield as Ceylon, the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea and the Madagascar Channel. These fleets have acquired semi-legendary status and must therefore be put in perspective. The dimensions commonly given for the largest of Cheng Ho’s ships, 450 feet long and 184 feet in breadth, are not only implausibly broad relative to length, but physically impossible, the result of erroneous interpolations by later Chinese authors and uncritical acceptance by western scholars. Still, they were impressive enough, sporting nine masts, measuring some 204 feet by 37 feet and displacing 1,000 to 1,100 tons.
Some contemporary European vessels were larger, for example Henry V of England’s ‘great ships’ Jesus (1,500 tons) and Grace Dieu (2,100 tons), but whereas these ships were exceptional, dozens of treasure ships were produced to a standardized design. The 1405 fleet consisted of 62 large and 255 small vessels and carried 27,870 men. Except for the smaller 1407 to 1409 expedition, the rest were of similar magnitude. The administrative and logistical competence required to outfit, man and provision such fleets speaks for itself. Moreover, the treasure fleets were not pure exercises in peaceful diplomacy, but suppressed piracy in the Straits of Malacca ,and intervened militarily in dynastic struggles in Java and Ceylon. We know little about the armament of Cheng Ho’s ships, but Ming warships of the 1390s are known to have carried cannon that were at least equal in size and power to contemporary European naval ordnance. More importantly, seagoing junks, in contrast to Arab dhows and Malay jukungs, had hulls that could have been modified to support batteries of heavy ordnance.
The treasure fleets were successful in expanding Chinese suzerainty for a time, but behind their success lay a dark reality, for the Ming emperors who launched them proclaimed a ban on private seaborne trade that forced the vast majority of Chinese deep-sea mariners into poverty, smuggling or piracy. The last loophole was closed in 1435, when the treasure fleets were banned. The ban was partially lifted in 1567, but by then the design of large, ocean-going war junks had been lost, a victim of the mandarins’ suspicion of outside cultural influence. The Ming war fleet had wasted away and Japanese wako pirates, sailing in ships that were far inferior to those of Cheng Ho’s fleets, had filled the vacuum, turning China’s coastal districts into a depopulated wasteland.

An electric toothbrush charger is a convenient way to keep your electric toothbrush charged and at the ready. The charger has two parts: the toothbrush unit and the base. They are connected by a two-part transformer. When you slide the toothbrush unit onto the base, the charger charges the toothbrush. The charger is sealed to keep water out and prevent short circuiting.
An electric toothbrush charger is a device that charges your toothbrush by using an electrical current. This current flows through a coil of wire which creates a magnetic field. This magnetic field changes direction when the current changes direction. The electrical current is then passed through a battery to power the electric toothbrush. This process is known as induction.
To use an electric toothbrush charger, you need to first understand how it works. Typically, these devices use inductive charging technology, in which an electromagnetic field passes current through a coiled wire inside the charging stand and battery in the brush handle. This allows the toothbrush to charge itself when you slide it onto the charging stand.
The charging process of an electric toothbrush involves changing a magnetic field, which creates an electric current. This electric current then charges the battery in the toothbrush. This is also called induction charging. Basically, the electric toothbrush charger has a coil of wire inside it that is powered by a plug socket.
The charging process for the majority of electric toothbrushes involves connecting the electric toothbrush to the charging stand. The stand is equipped with a prong in the center, which is used for connecting the toothbrush to the charger. Plugging the toothbrush into the charging stand will then induce a trickle of electricity in the toothbrush. This trickle current will recharge the battery in the brush.
If you’re using an electric toothbrush, you may be wondering what the advantages are of an electric toothbrush charger. First, an electric toothbrush charger is a convenient way to recharge it. It’s a two-piece transformer. When you slide the toothbrush on the charging base, it will be charged.
Do all electric toothbrushes use the same charger?
While most electric toothbrushes use the same charger, some are designed differently. Some models use inductive charging, which means there are no metal contacts between them. These chargers use a wire that’s powered by alternating current, which changes direction about 50 times per second. This current flows through the wire, which in turn powers the battery in the toothbrush.
Some electric toothbrushes use a different charger than others, so make sure you read the instruction manual before purchasing. While the charger base on your electric toothbrush may be interchangeable with another brand, it’s better to stick with the one that came with it. This way, you’ll avoid potential electrical problems.
Another thing to consider when choosing an electric toothbrush is charging time. The length of time it takes depends on the type of charger used and the size of the battery. However, most models take about eight to 16 hours to charge.
Is it expensive to charge an electric toothbrush?
If you have an electric toothbrush, you probably have noticed that it consumes a lot of power. Even if you only use it for a few minutes each time, this adds up over the course of a year. The cost of electricity to charge an electric toothbrush depends on how often you use it and the price of electricity in your area. On average, an electric toothbrush uses about 12 cents per kilowatt-hour. That means it will cost you anywhere from 0.3 to 1.2 dollars per year to charge one.
Electric toothbrushes typically have an inductive charging system. This means they use a coiled wire located inside the charging stand and inside the toothbrush handle. This creates an electromagnetic field which passes a charge from the charging stand to the battery in the brush handle. The charging stand connects to the mains power socket and recharges the battery in the brush handle.
The chargers used by electric toothbrushes use a small amount of power while they are in standby mode. Most of them draw just a few milliwatts of power. This means they cost pennies per year to keep them plugged in and powered.
One way to improve the charging efficiency of an electric toothbrush is to wrap one coil around another coil. This can be done by wrapping a conductive wire around the iron core of the charger. This way, the magnetic flux is concentrated in a single path. The other end of the charger is then connected to the electric toothbrush.

I’m glad Hazel has come in Yuvraj’s life, says mother Shabnam
Cricketer Yuvraj Singh’s mother Shabnam feels Yuvi had lady luck on his side that helped him strike a spectacular century against England in the ongoing ODI series.Updated: Jan 21, 2017 09:01 IST
Cricketer Yuvraj Singh is back in form and how! Striking a spectacular 150 runs off 127 balls against England in the ongoing bilateral series, he kept the nation glued to their TV screens on Thursday, while the match was being played in Cuttack.
While Yuvi achieved yet another milestone in his ODI career, his mother Shabnam Singh is elated to see her son play for the country, once again. Yuvi last played for Team India in December 2013 against South Africa at the Centurian.
Hazel (Keech) is a lovely child and I’m glad she has come into Yuvi’s life
“The potential was always there and it was never lacking in him. Only thing was when it will happen. There were times when you think of giving up, but then you have the right forces and people’s love and support. The whole nation wanted him to play and with so many blessings, he was able to come back.”
"Fierce" should be his middle name. 150 runs from 127 balls, Man of the Match, India won 2-0 against England in ODIs. Not forgetting coming back from CANCER, getting his health and fitness back post chemo therapy and finally being in the ODI team after all of that. Throw in a wedding somewhere. That, ladies and gentleman, it what it looks like to never give up. Theres the difference in surviving cancer and beating cancer #doitagain #takeyourlifeback #YuvrajFierceSingh #hero #ywc @yuvisofficial
Yuvi got married to actor Hazel Keech in November last year. Ask her if this new lady luck was doing its magic, and Shabnam says, “Oh yes, marriage has brought good luck and stability in Yuvi’s life and it’s playing a very important factor. Hazel is a lovely child and I’m glad she has come into his life.”
Hazel was like this little kid who didn’t want to miss a single ball. It was fun seeing her enjoying the match
Shabnam adds that while she has been seen her son playing for a long time, and has witnessed downs and really high ups also, it was something very new for Hazel, and she was excited about his comeback performance. “Hazel was like this little kid who didn’t want to miss a single ball. She was on a flight during the match, so she was really hassled about what’s happening on the ground and she was stressing out. It was fun seeing her enjoying the match.”
And what was Yuvi’s reaction like when he spoke to his mom after hitting a ton? “He was feeling very happy. He was singing songs at night for me and Hazel,” smiles Shabnam.
Yuvi was very happy. He was singing songs at night for me and Hazel
Talking about the years when Yuvi wasn’t a part of the team, his mother recollects, “He worked really very hard for it and it wasn’t easy. It’s been very tough going to small grounds and playing there, especially when you are so used to big crowds. To motivate yourself in those days was a big thing. But Guru ji always said, ‘Chote chote matches se hi bade matches mein jayega. (Small matches will lead up to big ones)’ And here he is.”
Shabnam plans to visit their Guru Ji with Yuvi and Hazel once he is back from the series.

Virat Kohli's IPL captaincy has polarized opinion in recent times, and the debate is unlikely to go away given Royal Challengers Bangalore's wooden-spoon finish in IPL 2019. So, just what kind of a T20 captain is Kohli? Someone who "relies on intuition" and is "exceptionally open to ideas", according to Daniel Vettori, who has worked with him for six seasons as player and coach at the franchise. Vettori, a well-travelled coach who has also had stints with Brisbane Heat in the Big Bash League and Middlesex in the T20 Blast among other teams, weighed in on a range of topics, on the latest episode of ESPNcricinfo's Talking T20 podcast.
Vettori was part of both Royal Challengers sides which finished runners-up in 2011 [as captain] and 2016 [as coach], apart from a run to the playoffs in 2015. However, dismal performances in subsequent seasons meant they parted ways ahead of IPL 2019. Despite another forgettable season for the franchise, Vettori only had high praise for his former captain.
"When I used to speak to him or any other coaches [used to] speak to him, there's always a conversation around what you think is best, where can this work," Vettori said. "It wouldn't always be a numbers-driven conversation, it would be around some intuition and understanding of the game. I think, ultimately, when you sold a compelling story to Virat, he was always on board, open to listen and that made him such a good captain."
A widely-discussed aspect of Kohli's game is his on-field personality, his "energy, enthusiasm and desperation to win" which Vettori said "is contagious", and when "you couple that with [him being] the best batsman in the world, and with a work ethic that has probably led India into the situation they are now [in]. Everyone wants to follow his gym [routine], and everything he does off the field, the way he basically prepares to play the game. That's a huge part of leadership. That's a huge part of captaincy."
Vettori, regarded as a smart bowler even during his playing days, also spoke about the challenges in getting T20 teams to buy into data and analytics-driven wisdom by "telling a compelling story" to players and team managements, as the field is still in its "infant stages" with small sample sizes making it harder to present a convincing case.
"For me, I think there's such a strong correlation between thorough planning and the use of data to performance. I think it's so important because I think cricket, in general, is quite immature in terms of its exposure to this and...the sport I like is baseball, and I think they use it as strongly as anyone. The thing they have in their favour is huge sample sizes, and the thing that I always battled with [as a coach] was '[you say], here's a plan' and then go back to how many times it's worked. 'Oh, it's worked four times'. And four times doesn't seem like a lot to base things on. I think that's what [the challenge is]. When you're presenting to the captain or the owner or the rest of the coaches, you want to be overwhelming with it.
"And I know that with baseball, and a lot of the sites that I follow, they want 500 instances of that to happen before they can sort of guarantee a prediction that they can rely on. And when you're dealing with David Warner facing Yuzvendra Chahal, [say], 33 times over the course of his career, and then you make a prediction from that, I think that's the thing they have, but that's only gonna grow. So, while we're in these infant stages, I think it's hard for people to get their heads around [analytics]. But, the people who are gonna buy into this first, get their heads around it, I think they'll get the jump-start on everyone."
Vettori singled out former team-mate and current Mumbai Indians bowling coach Shane Bond as one of the trailblazers in making the most of data and insights, as Mumbai's "structured, planned" approach to T20 cricket has paid dividends over the years.

I was also obsessed with a lot of the dresses. I think so many of the female artists looked absolutely stunning. Grammy fashion is usually a bit more funky than a lot of the other award shows, but last night's event was a much classier Grammy show.
Here are some of my favorite looks from the night and how these trends can be utilized into your daily wardrobe or your special occasion wear. These are not replica outfits, but trends that can be taken from the fashion of the Grammy and used in your own wardrobe.
Ok seriously, how stunning did Katy Perry looks last night? I don't think there was a guy in the theater last night who wasn't obsessed with Katy's beautiful body in this mint green number.
The trend that I want to rock from Katy's look is mint green dresses. I love mint clothing, but I only own tops or bottoms- not an entire dress. Katy's look has inspired me to go fully mint and rock one of these beautiful mint dresses below.
I know Joan Rivers might tear Beyonce apart on tonight's Fashion Police, but I actually really liked her look. I think it was very appropriate based on the fact that the Grammy's requested more subdued looks and I think she looked very classy.
The trend I like from B's ensemble is black and white color blocking. Color blocking I thought was possibly on it's way out, but B brought it back in stark black and white. Rock one of those black and white color block tops below with black skinnies or a black pencil skirt for a classic look.
Say what you want about T-Swizzle, but I think she is adorable and always looks classy and age appropriate. This beautiful white dress may be my favorite look of hers yet. She looked fresh and fun and very etheral but still glamorous.
I know people are saying that white dresses are going to be the new LBD's, and after seeing TSwift look so classic and un-bridal, I may be giving the white dress a spin myself.
RiRi's personal life aside, she is an amazing and beautiful artist. I love when she looks non-edgy and dresses like the Rihanna she was when she first hit the scene. This red dress was stunning and the mesh inserts make it sexy with out being in your face.
The trend from this I'd like to rock is actually red mesh. Red mesh can sound very trashy and lingerie like, but take a peek at these pieces below and red mesh can be subtly sexy and not trashy at all.

Sometimes it’s better to wear something borrowed. March 5, Kerry Washington attended the American Black Film Festival honors in a velvet dress previously worn by Whitney Houston. Stylized by law cockroachthe Red tight dress with delicate gathers and a halter neckline.
Roach pulled the garment straight from the archives of fashion designer Marc Bouwer. “No lies. Whitney Houston’s ACTUAL @marcbouwer dress she wore in 1996,” Washington wrote alongside a instagram video showing the dress. “Sooooooo incredibly special.” In the clip, she asked, “What’s cooler than wearing Whitney Houston’s dress?” before lip-syncing to Houston’s “I Have Nothing.”
The ‘Scandal’ actor put on his own version of the legendary look with pointed red heels, minimal accessories and a matching red manicure, leaving the dress speak for itself. Houston made her debut in the red dress in 1996 at the BET Walk of Fame Awards gala. Taking the stage for performances of “I Will Always Love You,” “Greatest Love of All” and “I’m Every Woman,” the famous singer accessorized her version with sparkling diamond jewelry and a curly updo.
“And then THIS happened…” Roach wrote on instagram alongside photos of Washington’s all-red look juxtaposed with Houston’s. “Thank you @marcbouwer for letting me access your archives and borrow Whitney’s dress.” Bouwer himself also commented on the historic fashion moment, writing that the dress is still “incredibly special” to him 27 years later. Read on to see how Washington and Roach brought one of Houston’s most iconic styles into the 21st century.

Sir Peter Housden, the Scottish Executive's permanent secretary, is supposed to remain neutral but told Scottish health service managers that Andrew Lansley, the Coalition Health Secretary, "could not persuade anyone" of the changes.
He said the Coalition's plans for GPs to commission patient care, instead of health trusts, was a "solution to no known problem" and that Mr Lansley lacked a clear "story" about why the reform was needed.
Sir Peter said that Sir David Nicholson, the chief executive of the NHS in England, privately contrasts the Tories' promise in opposition to make no major changes to the NHS with "such a big set of reforms it can be seen on an intergalactic basis".
The overhaul is the subject of intense criticism from medical professionals and opposition politicians but the British civil service code of conduct prevents officials expressing political views or advice.
Sir Peter attracted fierce criticism previously for attacking the Coalition's stance on devolution as "lost in the mists of time" and predicting Mr Salmond will emerge victorious in the forthcoming independence referendum.
His latest comments are likely to irritate Sir Bob Kerslake and Sir Jeremy Heywood, Britain's most senior civil servants, who, it is understood, are ready to take a hard line against any future breaches by him.
Speaking during a training seminar, a video of which was posted online by the NHS, Sir Peter said the Scottish Executive has developed a seven – point test for policies called "Changing the World". Applying the criteria to the Coalition NHS reforms, he told delegates Mr Lansley "got a tick" for a vision of a world – class health service free to the user.
"Thereafter Mr Lansley got into a bit of trouble. Had he got, secondly, a story to enable people to recognise where the NHS south of the Border had been and where it was going?"
The third criterion was whether the Health Secretary had identified a "set of actions" to achieve his vision. "Now here we come to GP commissioning — a solution to no known problem," Sir Peter said, to laughter from the delegates.
"Mr Lansley could not persuade anyone, actually, [that] the things that they perceived needed to happen in the NHS would be resolved by GP commissioning." He said the public perceived the change as "enormously risky".
The mandarin also used the presentation to praise the SNP's "style", claiming the First Minister is committed to governing in a consensual manner despite last year's landslide election victory. Murdo Fraser, a Scottish Tory MSP, said: "Senior civil servants should not be expressing views on party political matters north or south of the Border.
"Once again, Scotland's most senior civil servant is exposed for being far too cosy with Alex Salmond's separatist agenda."
The Executive said a "key part" of Sir Peter's role is discussing important public policy matters. A spokesman said: "On this occasion, he was illustrating the Scottish government's approach by contrasting it to the very different nature of the NHS reforms elsewhere in the UK."

The backstrap loom, common among the Gurung people is thought to be the oldest form of loom in the world. In the region of Pokhara along the slopes of the Annapurna Mountain Range, live the Gurung, whose cultural traditions incorporate elements of both Tibeto-Burman and Indo-Aryan origins. The Gurung were traditionally herdsmen, but in the early 20th century they became skilled agriculturists and reputed soldiers (Ghurkas). The continued employment of Ghurka soldiers in the Nepalese, Indian, British and Brunei military has been a valuable source of income for the community. A smaller but longer established source of income was, and continues to be, based on the extraordinary skill of the Gurung weavers who most likely started the textile trade in Nepal. They are famous for their traditional woolen blankets (rari), which are still valuable trade items today.
The primary feature of the backstrap loom, an entirely non-mechanized instrument, is that the lengthwise threads (warp) are secured from a post or other stationary object to a backstrap that a woman wears around her waist. By moving her body, the woman can control the amount of tension in the warp threads throughout the weaving process.
a. warp bar; b. shed rod; c. heddle rod; d. sword; e. bobbin; f. backstrap; g. warp lashing; h. heading string; i. lease cord; j. leash cord; k. warp; l. weft
To weave, the threads are stretched in a horizontal direction and a means is provided so that the threads are separated into two or more parts. A width-ways thread (weft) is then drawn through, inserted over-and-under the warp threads. The warp threads can then be reversed and a weft thread passed through again. By repeating this process, fabric is woven creating a strong and tightly bound cloth that allows a remarkable variety of beautifully inlaid designs.
As such our fabulous items are created by highly skilled artisans. Keep visiting our blog to find out how these items are made and more about our women artisans.
