Young Money, the label behind hip hop heavyweights Lil Wayne, Drake, and Nicki Minaj is set to release a line of credit cards themed after Young Money artists. Although the label is home to many musicians, Young Money President Mack Maine confirmed that the first three cards will feature the labels most successful artists, including Lil Wayne, Drake and Nicki Minaj.
The credit cards will be prepaid and will eventually feature various levels, such as the Nicki Minaj Pink Card and the Drake black card. Eventually each member of Young Money will get to see their face on plastic.
In case anyone is keeping track, Drake now has his face on a plane and credit card. Take that, Donald Trump.

Hot Hostess Watch – MARCHE BACCHUS
Lindsey knows the real object of our attention is focused on the wall of fabulous Burgundies behind her.
Lindsey knows the real object of our attention is focused on the wall of fabulous Burgundies behind her.
April, may I….include the always dapper Ivo Angelov with you in a Hot Hostess Watch post?
"Why of course, Mr. Curtas," she responded, adding: "and by the way, that's only about the 10,000th time I've heard that lame joke."
(Cue ELV skulking away in humiliated silence.)
In honor of us reaching the halfway point of EATING LAS VEGAS – The 50 Essential Restaurants, our staff thought a celebration was in order. And by "celebration" we mean posting more pictures of the incandescently torrid, steamy, loosen-you-collar caliente hostesses we've been meeting lately.
Leading off, we have Julia:
…who always greats you with a smile at Rose.Rabbit.Lie.
But RRL is so trés chaud these days, one hot hostess is not enough. That's why Samantha and Kassidy:
…are always on hand at a second hostess desk to lead you to your table among the jugglers and acrobats that seem to accost you at every turn. (To be fair, many seem to enjoy the festivities here, but we think all the noise just distracts you from Wes Holton's exceptional food.)
If, like ELV, it's serenity you seek with your sustenance, then we suggest a seating by Hailey:
…at Chef Johnny Church's MTO Cafe downtown.
Regardless of your savory or sweet sagaciousness, all four of these gals saucily scan and scamper to safeguard your satisfaction preceding whatever saturnalia you seek.
And for that, we salute them.
The List:
1. Joël Robuchon
2. Restaurant Guy Savoy
3. L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon
4. Raku/Sweets Raku
5. Carnevino
6. Twist by Pierre Gagnaire
7. Bartolotta Ristorante di Mare
8. Kabuto Edomae Sushi
9. Picasso
10. Estiatorio Milos
11. Yonaka Modern Japanese
12. China Poblano
13. Julian Serrano
14. Sage
15. Allegro
16. China MaMa
17. Mizumi
18. Le Cirque
19. db Brasserie
20. Giada – The Restaurant (on Earth – The Planet)
21. Rose.Rabbit.Lie.
22. Yusho
23. Carson Kitchen
24. Spago
25. Lotus of Siam
ELV note: We temporarily take a break from our Top 50 countdown to bring you Aryanna of Carson Kitchen. This is Ary's second appearance on Eating Las Vegas, and if she keeps bringing her high level of hostess professionalism to restaurants we love, it will not be her last.
Like ELV, Aryanna looks askance:
….at those who use this Web site to self-promote or grind personal axes.
But unlike George (one of our most astute and valued "regs"), we can't quite bring ourself to dismiss the whiners and half-wits entirely:
John, you should ban these Yelp tards from the site. Particularly when it's someone who appears to be riding on the coin of his high roller friends and not the one who's paying. He didn't even comment about the food or wine, just whined. Personally, I've always had a great meal at Carnevino and B&B.
Our underlying mission has always been to incite informed conversation about good food. As long as there is even a modicum of substance to a comment (however slight) we will let it stand. Our only inviolable rule is: No Witless Profanity.
Even Yelpers (poor, merit-less, opinion-holders that they are) are welcome.
Spammers, however, are not. People who spam other people's Web sites should be shot on sight (figuratively speaking).
There, I said it.
LaLa and LoLo (we kid you not — those are their actual names*) are two big reasons to do all of your fine wine tasting at BIN 702 in Container Park.
The other is: all bottles of wine are 1/2 price on Sundays and Wednesdays.
When we asked Ary at Postrio if she would be our next Hot Hostess®, she was understandably surprised:
Then she blushed:
Then she graciously allowed us to use her picture to advertise the fact that Mark Andelbradt has now taken over the reigns of this Wolfgang Puck warhorse in the Grand Canal Shoppes:
After meeting Aryanna, we're not so sure now what we're more excited about: eating Andelbradt's updated menu (debuting in a month or two, he assures us), or being seated by her.
For the time being, it's just nice to know there are two reasons to go there.
In the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian
3377 Las Vegas Blvd. South
Las Vegas, NV 89109
She's sweet; she's nice, she's fit, she's gorgeous, and she does a yeoman's duty at FIX doing everything from hostessing to cocktailing to serving to explaining the just-updated menu at this Bellagio mainstay.
Who is she?
Well, Jordan of course, who also happens to be our Facebook friend and one of the hottest ones we have.
So if you want one, or need one, or have never had one (a FIX, not a Jordan), you should mosey on over to the big B where the jaunty, jubilant, joyful and….dare we say it?….juicy Jordan will help you get yours of Chef Renieri Caceres' ever-improving, oft-overlooked and interesting food.
And remember: officially there is no smoking at FIX — either over Jordan's left shoulder or in the restaurant — but with her on the premises, some rules are best honored in the breach.
In the Bellagio Hotel and Casino
3600 Las Vegas Blvd. South
Las Vegas, NV 89109
Brianna knows a good burger when she sees one.
Just like ELV knows a hot hostess when he meets one.
Brianna is a worthy successor to another Brianna — the Hot Hostess of the Year in 2009 — and professionally provides a pulchritudinous panacea to parties partaking palpable palate perfection.
ELV prefers proffering this pedagogic panegyric to this peak of pastoral, perpetual impeccability:
It is the best goddamned hamburger in town.
So beefy, so juicy, so well-proportioned, so impossibly well-seasoned, it exists at the pinnacle of burger pleasure.
Just ask Brianna…and she'll promptly place you so your pontifacting plaudits can pour forth.
Yeah, it's that good.
There, I said it.
The mini-burgers pictured above are only available on the Happy Hour menu and cost $6 for three of them.
450 South Rampart Blvd. #180
Las Vegas, NV 89145
Paulina, Angelina, Christian Dominic and Lindsey are both hot (as in: subjectively objectifying their looks) and hotter (as in: it's still gonna be 113 friggin' degrees out there today), but that doesn't keep them from giving everyone who shows up at Allegro a very warm welcome.
Equally incendiary these days is Executive Chef Enzo Febrarro's Neapolitan cuisine — available on the same premises, said aforementioned premises of which are always cool. (ELV loves talking like a lawyer-at-law).
Before ELV had even a moment to think up some clever/catchy/juvenile/suggestive moniker for this pulchritudinous pair people pleasers at Honey Salt, Yvette (or maybe it was Ashley), described their dynamic duality thusly: "I'm sweet and she's savory," said Yvette (or maybe it was Ashley), and from that point on, we had no qualms about commenting upon their deliciousness.

Armed self-defense
From Conservapedia
Ann Coulter wrote, "Numerous studies, including one by the National Institute of Justice, show that crime victims who resist a criminal with a gun are less likely to be injured than those who do not resist at all or who resist without a gun. That's true even when the assailant is armed." [1]

Customer reviews
By Anna 11 Jul 2014
This is a book of french rhymes. I thought that there r may be french songs, but no, it is what the title says.
The rhymes are easy to read and easy to remember. There is an accompanying CD, each rhyme is recorded twice, first by children, then by the author of the book (i think). So there were no sounds that i did not understand or could not repeat.
I really like the illustrations! simple, but very informative - you can use the book as a visual dictionary. In the end of the book there is translation of the rhymes and words.
Rhymes are great for practicing your pronunciation!
I would definitely recommend it to anyone who starts learning French. This book would be useful both for children and adults.

So my sister wasn't at fault, the officer even said she clearly wasn't. The person who hit her admitted she just didn't see my sister.
Now she changed her story, her insurance company says they will not pay for damages done to my sisters car due to the other lady changing her story and now conflicting with my sisters. Even though the police report says the other lady was at fault.
My sister doesn't have collision coverage so she cant use her insurance, can the other girls insurance really refuse to pay even though the police report says its her fault, is the only option small claims court?
My sister is pregnant and scared that the stress will cause her to go into early labor.
Yes, the insurance companies can refuse to pay even though the police report puts the fault on their insured and often do. Many times they just go off of their own insured's story, at least initially. Unfortunately, if the insurance company has denied the claim and your sister did not carry collision coverage on her own vehicle, her only option beside paying for the repairs herself and letting it go is to sue the other driver. Depending on the amount of damage, this can be done in small claims court. However, even if done in small claims court you may still want to seek the advice of an experienced attorney as once suit is filed against the other driver and they are served, the insurance company will hire them an experienced attorney to defend the claim.
Insurance companies do this all the time - they try to justify their refusal to pay claims by saying that they have to believe & fight for their own insured (sometimes this is true, but often it isn't) Sorry to say that your options are small claims court or retaining a local attorney. If in fact there was an injury to your sister then consult a local personal injury attorney - many offer free initial consultations.
You need to consult a local personal injury attorney ASAP to investigate and protect your rights.
This is one of the many games that insurance companies play. They will try to use whatever they can to minimize and destroy a claim, whether it is using a pre-existing injury from 10 years ago against you, claiming he said she said, and arguing that you did not go to the ER until a day or 2 later. That does not mean the insurance company is right. Was your sister injured? If so, she should contact a personal injury attorney to assist with her claim. Generally, if an attorney takes your PI case, we will assist with the property damage as well.
If she was not injured and the insurance company continues to deny liability, you may want to consider small claims court.
Retain a local attorney to investigate pursuing a claim.
Carriers deny claims all the time. It is one of the things that keeps many attorneys in business. Your sister should file suit in the appropriate court against the adverse driver. It will cost the carrier money to defend and they are probably more likely to resolve the claim with your sister.

Acknowledge daughter's beauty, both inside and out
Syndicated columnist
Dear Carolyn
Adapted from a recent online discussion.
DEAR CAROLYN: We adopted a little girl, and she is very beautiful. I have taken to heart your admonition to center praise around effort and accomplishments, and not looks (although I sometimes slip; she really is cute).
My question is, what can I do about comments from people meeting her? (Noting her beauty) is usually one of the first things out of their mouths. And she meets a LOT of people; she has a way of making friends with everyone in the store/restaurant/coffee shop just because she's so outgoing.
Is there a graceful way to demur without being rude, or do we just hope the family emphasis on character has more weight than the entire rest of the world's comments on her looks?
– Raising a Beautiful Child
DEAR RAISING A BEAUTIFUL CHILD: This is really hard, because people can't (or won't) help themselves, and kids do internalize messages they hear daily.
You can send a polite message to people who say she's beautiful by saying, "Inside and out, thank you." You can also be patient, since the comments directed to you as if she's not even there will slow down as she gets older.
And, you can hold onto the fact that your influence towers over that of the people she meets, at least until peers take over. That's not to say every remark you make about her looks needs to be treated as a "slip"; you'd be overcompensating if you never said, "I think you're beautiful." But if the bulk of the message is about things she controls, like her effort, her attitude, her manners, her determination, her compassion — then her chief messenger can lay a stable foundation (inner beauty trumps outer) beneath what the world keeps implying (outer beauty rules).
Check out the work of Carol Dweck or read "NurtureShock," by Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman, for more on constructive praise.
DEAR CAROLYN: My husband's entire family lives in one suburb of a major metro area, and it is a nice area. We recently purchased a new house in a different suburb 20 minutes away. My family lives two hours away, so a 20-minute drive didn't seem that big of a deal to us. Plus, the trade-off of fantastic schools and close shopping centers was appealing.
However, ever since we moved, his family has been giving us a lot of grief over moving "away from everybody" to what they call the "rich town." My sister-in-law actually asked me if I would still let my kids play with hers, or if I would consider it "slumming."
Carolyn, we made this move because it was the best thing for our family, not because we think his family is a bad influence. How can I get our relationship back on track?
– Neighborhood Ties
DEAR NEIGHBORHOOD TIES: Dismiss the badgering with a cheerful, "Oh stop," and change the subject to a familiar, neutral one. "How's Aunt Whosit's whatever?"
This is about their insecurities, not your real estate, and the worst thing you could do is change your behavior or get all earnest about justifying your decision. That would only reinforce the idea that your new house makes you different, and keep you on the hamster wheel of trying to fix their insecurities through your actions, when only their actions will do.

System + Boot partition - Can I boot to a 3rd partition
My HP machine came with a system partition E: and boot partition C:
See screenshot
Its windows 7 MBR - BIOS-
1. How come EaseUS petition Master shows me both partitions are not active - I always thought that C had to be marked "active".
2. I resized C: and made F:
Is it possible for me to Install a new Installation of windows 7 on F
How would i get it to boot to F
|My System Specs
|15 Apr 2014
Win7 x 6 PC's
What is your goal? If you want to Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 then everything needed is in the blue link to get and keep a perfect install. Read the SPecial Note to HP Owners at the end as there may be even an easier way to do it.
You wouldn't want to install a second Windows 7 because you'd have to buy another license. Just ditch the bloated mess which comes with HP and go completely clean to enjoy native Windows 7 performance for the first time on there.
|My System Specs
|15 Apr 2014
Vista, Windows7, Mint Mate, Zorin, Windows 8
The C partition need not be active if the bootmgr sits in another partition - apparently in the E partition in your case.
I am puzzled like Greg - why would you want to have 2 Windows on the same disk. Either you do a completly new install like Greg suggests, or you make C a bit bigger (e.g. 50GB) and move your user files to F.

England v Montenegro: Bayern Munich 'banter' helps Joe Hart to bat away recent crisis of confidence ahead of crucial World Cup qualifiers
The Manchester City keeper has been at error in recent matches
Kevin Garside
Sports writer for The Independent
Wednesday 09 October 2013
The rehabilitation of Joe Hart, if that were ever the requirement in this England set-up, was achieved around a table deep in the Staffordshire green belt. This being a football community, the medicine that snapped Hart out of lingering introspection following a trying seven days was that old football staple, banter, and the table came with a net.
There really is no hiding place in the testosterone-wrapped St George's Park. Any weakness, sensitivity or embarrassment is quickly addressed. So Hart's blunders against Bayern Munich and in Saturday's game against Everton, became a tool in the battle for dressing-room supremacy when he met Phil Jagielka across the net. The result, claims Jagielka, is a goalkeeper purged of doubt and ready to prove his value in the coming games.
"He's someone who loves the banter more than anyone. It's the same with me, If I'd made a mistake the first person I'd be looking for is Joe to be straight on it. That's the way you've got to take it. You just throw it in, especially losing 10-9 at table tennis and I'm waiting for the next point, you just say 'Bayern Munich' or something, stuff like that," Jagielka said.
"Obviously he comes back to me and they beat us 3-1 at the weekend so I didn't have a leg to stand on. Joe's a great guy and a fantastic goalkeeper and if he can take it like he has done all the power to him. We all make mistakes. We're all human and it's about how far you guys and outside influences want to take it that makes it as bad or not as bad.
"It is always hard. I speak to Joe quite a lot. He sets such high standards, when there is a slight error of judgment, it gets jumped on. He knows himself, as England's No 1, playing at Manchester City, playing in the Champions League, if something goes slightly wrong it is magnified. But he has been his bubbly self. It's the same old Joe. He is delighted and looking forward to playing on Friday [in England's World Cup qualifier against Montenegro]."
The support mechanism around Hart is absolute and understandable, as is the acclaim for Leighton Baines, who comes into the England defence following the withdrawal of Ashley Cole. That Baines has made only 13 starts for England is a measure of Cole's quality in an area of the pitch in which football's mother country can reasonably claim to have world-class representation.
"He has been fantastic for us at Everton, player of the year for the last few seasons," said Jagielka, "but unfortunately for him, the person he has tried to nudge out of the way has also performed very well, particularly in an England shirt. Bainesy has had to be a little bit patient.
"It was widely publicised he was one of the leading chance-makers in the three divisions. Maybe we rely more on Bainesy to create chances than Chelsea would with Ash. He has fantastic quality delivering the ball but he is also a very clever footballer. Let's hope he has a fantastic game on Friday. If a free-kick comes around we have people desperate to take it but not selfish. We can assess which specialist we need to use."
It is less the set-piece flourish that is holding back the national team but the failure to bond cohesively. Jagielka speaks of a quiet confidence in this group, borne of their position at the top of the group and a feeling that England have the offensive players to answer the critics that would have them rooted in the Dark Ages.
"We are a proud nation. We expect our team to go out and give any a game and beat most people," he said. "That's the way we have been brought up. The biggest thing for us is it would have been a disaster if we had gone there [the Ukraine in the previous qualifier] and lost. We went there to put on a performance. We knew a point would be good enough to put us in the driving seat. We need to put both aspects of our game together. With the players [we have] in the squad it looks very positive."

Imbuing items and adding sockets to items
These two actions are rewards offered by the smiths in Act I and V as you complete their related quests. It may be wise not to use them immediately afterwards. Keep them for later difficulty levels, where you can find exceptional and elite items (such as the Ornate Plate armor or Mesh Boots). An imbued elite piece of body armor with added sockets can prove to be extremely useful. This applies for single player mode, and also may work in multi-player. Note: Some higher stats you can get after an imbue can only be obtained only after your character reaches a higher level.

The torta cubano at Havana is not a torta cubano: It's on a brioche bun, and among its nontraditional components you'll find shredded lettuce and mayonnaise. If this sandwich isn't enough explanation, the writing is on the wall, literally: The north side of the entryway is emblazoned with the word fusion, followed by a lengthy definition.
Fusion gets a bad rap, and Havana, which has carried over the happening bar scene from its former tenant, Mambo Grill, isn't doing much for the cause. The problem isn't so much the fusion of ingredients as the ingredients themselves: the dry brioche, the tough block of lechon, the potpourri of from-the-bag french fries. The issues continue with the jalea de mariscos, a bowl of seafood (including funky-tasting shrimp and mussels) swimming in a coconut-cream sauce that recalls an overly sweet Thai curry.
When the kitchen sticks with tradition, the results tend to be more successful. Among the better dishes I tried were the lomo salteado, a simple Peruvian dish of tender, medium-rare sirloin steak topped with sautéed peppers (pictured). The caserola de hongo relleno, a stuffed portabello mushroom, though nothing unusual, rested in a satisfyingly spicy tomato sauce. The icy, chunky tequila sorbet didn't pick up any of the meal's shortcomings, so end with another mojito or strong caipirinha instead. The cocktails are the only things in the place that are muddled in a good way.

PPL question

As I understand it, I have to be back at work 10 of the previous 13 months with no greater than an 8 week break to be eligible for the government paid parental leave.
I started back at work on 3rd September 2012 so 10 months would bring me to 3rd July 2013.
Does anyone know if I am allowed to start my maternity leave before the 3rd July 2013? I was hoping to have 6 weeks off before I'm due (around the 7th of July).
Posted 31 December 2012 - 04:04 PM
Maternity leave counts as 'work' for CCr, so I'm guessing yes, but maybe ring them and ask them - or try the email question thing - they take weeks to answer, but you dont' have to stay on hold, and you don/t need to know instantly.
Posted 31 December 2012 - 04:10 PM
I was only back at work for 5 months between boys and still qualified for PPL with DS2. I met the hourly requirements for the 10 months within the 5 months but had been continuously employed while on mat leave from work. I don't know which they took into account, but it worked for me.

Thanks everyone I will ring FAO tomorrow and ask.

If its paid mat leave then yes it will count, if it's unpaid you won't qualify. Any paid leave counts in the 10 months, mat, sick, annual, long service etc.

Oh that's brilliant! Thank you. Now the next drama will be negotiating with my boss to actually let me have time off before the about as she reckons she's going to deny all my leave if I take in more hours (which I can do in march).

From the Wednesday edition of the David Boze Show
The president has been making much of the idea that there's a disparity in pay among men and women. We saw this throughout yesterday; it was supposed to be equal pay day. Lord knows, [David Boze Show producer Nicole Thompson] knows that's not true.
There is all kinds of efforts on the part of the left to point to this and say, 'Hey, you know what, men and women are inherently paid – men are paid more for the same jobs, the same work.' There is countless examples to show that it is not nearly as simple as that and just the basic smell test tells you that this is not so.
If you just take a look at this and say to yourself, 'Now hold on for a second, how could this possibly be true?' If it's true that you have this vast number – remember – of women out there in the workforce that are getting paid 77 cents on the dollar and you have these incredibly skilled people who are just waiting to be paid not even equal to men, but let's say you were the employer who says, 'You know what, I'm going to poach all the female employees from my competitors and I'm going to pick the best of the best and pay them 85 cents on the dollar, or I'm going to pay them 88 cents on the dollar.' It would be a big raise, and there would be little reason for women to say no that, right? More money?
And so why isn't that happening. Why isn't some company coming along and saying, look, I wouldn't even hire men at all, I'd just hire women and I'd say, 'Look, I'll pay you 92 cents on the dollar, 95 cents on the dollar,' and you'd be able to undercut via labor costs whoever your competitor was and offer lower prices. And you'd destroy them all! Everybody out there who had this discriminatory attitude, they would all be destroyed.
So why doesn't it happen? Well, it doesn't happen because the problem as it's described by President Obama and people on the left who have a vested interest in continuing to perpetuate this myth of the chronically sinister American society that's out to hold everybody back based on which particular group that you happen to belong to, it's not so. And it's more complicated.
Research shows that women tend to, or men I should say, tend to take jobs that are riskier. Men tend to take jobs where risk is much higher. Both risk in terms of variety of pay – in other words you might get well paid for a year and much less paid the next year. But men also choose jobs that are far riskier in terms of whether or not you will die in that job. And so people end up getting paid for risk. So that's just one area. Also, women tend to take time off from the workplace and therefore lose years of experience to care for children. Now, this is one of those situations where people make choices, families make choices, men and women make choices. I have a friend who's decided his wife's career is doing better than his, and he was the one who stayed home. And he got a dramatic hit when he reentered the workforce.
But anyway, you account for those things, not to mention the different choices that people make in terms of asking for more money or not asking for more money, and this discrepancy in pay goes away. Almost entirely. And so you'll have studies that say, if there was any discrimination it would be within 5 percent. It would be 95 cents on the dollar, not 77 cents on the dollar. Even the 5 percent is highly suspect. Because there's all these other variables that they can't quite account for, and it's more complicated than they want you to know.
So why do they keep doing it? Well, to scare people into voting for them.

Legitimizing the Order
The Ottoman Rhetoric of State Power
A dynasty that ruled for more than six centuries certainly developed many strategies to confront "legitimacy crises" and undertook various endeavors to legitimize their rule.
After the introduction that establishes a theoretical framework for examining the Ottoman state's legitimacy, the present volume deploys into three sections. "The Well-Founded Order" deals with the question of how the Ottomans imagined the order of their polity and how they tried to live up to this self-representation.
"Religiosity and Orthodoxy" turns to the question of religiosity and orthodoxy as defined by Ottoman political theory and how these concepts related to the issue of legitimacy. The last section discusses how the Ottoman notions of legitimacy were exposed to criticism, discussion or simply to transformations in situations of crisis, especially in the 18th and 19th centuries.less

Franklin County Sheriff Announces Bid For Columbus Mayor
Franklin County Sheriff Zach Scott said, Wednesday, he will run for Mayor of Columbus next year.
Columbus City Council members will interview candidates for two open council seats this week before a vote on January 10th. Those interviews will be held behind closed doors for the first time.
A grassroots group is speaking out against a ballot question that would allow Columbus City Council to meet in private. Issue Two would change the city's charter to allow for executive sessions under certain circumstances.
Elected officials usually conduct their meetings in public, however the law says sometimes they can hold meetings in private. But Columbus City Council members say city ordinances prevent them from holding such executive sessions. They are looking at ways to hold some meetings in private.
Columbus Police say I-71 southbound to I-70 westbound is open after being closed for more than two hours Wednesday morning because of an overturned tractor trailer.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.
Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies.
Aristotle's geographical speculations anticipated by almost two thousand years the rationale behind Columbus' voyage. Ferdinand Columbus suggested that his father was familiar with the following passage: "Again, our observations of the stars make it evident, not only that the earth is circular, but also that it is a circle of no great size. For quite a small change of position to south or north causes a manifest alteration of the horizon. There is much change, I mean, in the stars which are overhead, and the stars seen are different, as one moves northward or southward. . . . All of which goes to show not only that the earth is circular in shape, but that it is a sphere of no great size: for otherwise the effect of so slight a change of place would not be so quickly apparent. Hence, one should not be too sure of the incredibility of the view of those who conceive that there is a continuity between the parts about the pillars of Hercules [the strait of Gibraltar] and the parts about India, and that in this way the ocean is one."
