The Army
A vital support of any despotic monarchy must be its armed forces, but the French army in 1789 was far from being the reliable instrument of the monarchy which it had been at the time of the great victories of Louis XIV. There were serious causes of discontents which encouraged the spread of Democratic and revolutionary ideas in the army. The most important grievances was the law of 1781 by which commissioned rank was restricted to those born into the nobility. Non commissioned rank was therefore the highest to which the well educated sons of the bourgeoisie could rise. It is not surprising that secret societies of various kinds existed in the army and tended to undermine its discipline. Some important regiments were quite unreliable when the revolution began. This was the case with one of the most important regiments of France, the Grades Franchisees,stationed in 1789 at Paris, and many of its officers were ready to throw in their lot with the revolution. Another grievance of the unprivileged bourgeoisie and common soldier was the excessive number of the officers. This policy had been pretensions. In 1789 there was general for every 157 private soldiers and one staff for every 79. Many of these entered the army very early in life and with few qualification. A nobles sons could become a colonel at the age of sixteen. Thus the class division and privileges which marked French society in 1789 were to be seen in the French army itself.

|Luffy learns that two of the Road Poneglyphs are in the possession of the Yonko Big Mom and Kaido. Meanwhile, Jack has a dream about his attack on Doflamingo's Marine escort the week prior. Back in the Whale Tree, the Straw Hats learn that the Kozuki Family were the ones who constructed the Poneglyphs hundreds of years ago. However, the knowledge of how to read them stopped at Momonosuke's father Oden, executed by Kaido and the shogun of Wano Country. The Beasts Pirates now occupy Wano Country, and had gone after Oden and his retainers because Oden had been on Raftel with Gol D. Roger and had witnessed the secret of the world.

Jack decides to attack the elephant Zunisha itself, shocking his crew. Back on Zou, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi regale the Straw Hats with tales about their and Oden's travels with Whitebeard and later Roger. Nami then asks about Crocus' words on the Log Pose, as he stated that it would guide them to the final destination Raftel. However, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi reply that rather than leading them directly to Raftel, it will lead them to a place that will be integral to helping them reach Raftel beyond the end.

Momonosuke realizes that Zunisha itself is talking to him, and is under attack by Jack and the Beasts Pirates. As the Musketeers and Guardians race off to deal with the enemy pirates, Zunisha receives a crippling blow and tells Momonosuke that it was once punished to walk the seas for eternity. Thus, it could not act against Jack unless given the order, and asks Momonosuke to do so. Momonosuke orders Zunisha to attack Jack, allowing the giant elephant to annihilate Jack's entire fleet. As the people on Zou recover from the attack, Scratchmen Apoo contacts Kaido to report the loss of Jack's fleet.

Stevie Nicks: 'I'd Love to Write Music for 'Game of Thrones''
"I'm very inspired by it - as I was very inspired by 'Twilight,'" Fleetwood Mac singer adds.
Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks recently sang a few "Game of Thrones" praises, expressing desire to compose music for the popular show.
"The guy who wrote these stories [author George RR Martin] is my age now, and I think: how in the world does somebody come up with these 15 or so characters and then everything that's wrapped around each one of the 15 characters? It blows my mind that he's able to create this vast, interlinked world," Stevie told Radio Times. "As a songwriter I write little movies. But I can't imagine sitting down and writing even one small book, a novel. We each have our thing that we're really good at."
Focusing on the musical part, the vocalist added, "I would love to write some music for the show. I've written a bunch of poetry about it - one for each of the characters. On Jon Snow ... on Arya ... on Cersei ... on Cersei and Jaime, the blonde on blonde ... on Khaleesi ... I'm always looking for that kind of inspiration, and I'm very inspired by it - as I was very inspired by 'Twilight.'"
Nicks also pointed out that the show helped her go through a rough patch a few years back. "I didn't leave the house for almost five months," she said about the period after the late-December 2011 death of her mother. "And then I got pneumonia. With my pneumonia and my mother's death I watched the entire first season of 'Game of Thrones.' That certainly took my mind off everything."
Finally, Stevie picked her favorite "Game of Thrones" characters. "Khaleesi [Emilia Clarke] is my new favorite heroine. And Cersei [Lena Headey] is fantastic. She's just mean as s--t. And you know who else is mean? Not Joffrey [Jack Gleeson] - he's beyond. He's just sickly, deeply, sadistically evil. But no, the one that's going to marry him, Margaery [played by Natalie Dormer]. She is just such a great evil person. And she thinks she is going to be able to handle him. And then you have Brienne of Tarth [Gwendoline Christie] - I love her."

37th Lesotho Sun Roof of Africa: November 26 - 29, 2003
Last Round of the SA National Off-road Championship for Motorcycles and Quads
Team Shimwells Yamaha aims to win off-road championship
The small off-road racing team from Springs, Shimwells Yamaha, is looking forward to go to the 37th Lesotho Sun Roof of Africa, the last round of the SA National Off-road Championship for Motorcycles and Quads, that will start on Wednesday, November 26, at the Lesotho Sun in Maseru with documentation and scrutineering.
The Shimwells Yamaha off-road team will be somewhat smaller than earlier this season. The 2002 Senior Motorcycle Champion, Johnny Lochner, will not be able to defend his title as he is still recovering from a broken arm after he crashed at the last event, The Roost Carousel 400, while Juan van Rooyen, who joined the team halfway through the season, will not be participating.
But there are three championship titles up for grabs for Team Shimwells Yamaha - the Overall Off-road Motorcycle Championship, the Open Class Championship and the 125cc Class Championship. And the team is confident that they will bring all these trophies and titles home after the Lesotho Sun Roof of Africa this coming weekend.
The 2002 National Off-road Motorcycle Champion, Gray Dick, also racing in the colours of Nashua Mobile Racing, has been training hard and is looking forward to tackle the most gruelling race on the off-road calendar on his new two-stroke Yamaha. This motorcycle is lighter and will be more suitable to race in the rough and rocky mountainous terrain of the Lesotho Kingdom. Dick, who will be participating in his 6th Roof of Africa of which he as finished three, has not won this race before, but is determined to do so this year.
He is currently one of four riders (together with Geoffrey Wolhuter, Jade Gutzeit and Darryl Curtis) who stand a chance of winning the Overall Motorcycle Championship as well as the Open Class Championship. Dick won the Desert Race - like the Roof of Africa the only other race on the calendar where riders have to complete 1 000km over two days - earlier this season as well as the Tarka 400 in the Eastern Cape.
In the 125cc Class, Gavin Louw will be giving it all to win the 125cc Class on his new Shimwells Yamaha. Louw, only participating in his second Roof of Africa event, and Hylton Smith has had a see-saw season swapping the leading position in this class a few times and they will go to the Roof of Africa prepared for yet another head to head battle. Louw's brother, Vernon, will also be on a Shimwells Yamaha and racing in the same class as his brother. He is known for his perseverance as he has been racing for years even though he is deaf and dumb.
In the 250cc Class Bernard Johnstone will be back although he is still hampered by an ankle and shoulder injury after crashing earlier this season. Johnstone stands a good chance of moving up the point's ladder in the 250cc Class if he finishes the Roof of Africa and score some more points.
The traditional Round the Houses will take place on Thursday, November 27, in the streets of Maseru after which the riders will leave immediately to start the time trial of 140km outside of town. The main race of the 37th Lesotho Sun Roof of Africa will start on Friday, November 28, when the leading motorcycle rider will tackle the route at 06h00. On Saturday, the first rider will be off again at 06h00.

Very nice, albeit a bit confusing... I'm sure it would've been cleared up... if this story had been updated. P Ah well, even if you don't update any of your stories, they were still a good read.
| Lance58 chapter 4 . 6/16/2009
uwahh want more please continue love the story
| Shikizeno chapter 4 . 9/2/2008
Will wait the next chapter
| Bishimimou chapter 4 . 6/15/2008
I'm happy that I could reply to you personally this time... (some other times... I've had my friend do it) I loved this chapeter... It was the perfect amount of an "angst" type thing... and if people don't like it... too bad! They need to realize that you write alot like the real world... and the real world is full of regrets, second guessing, and angst! That's why I love your writing so much, because there's a fantasy aspect to it, but it also incorporates many things that many people go through in the real world, and there's more to it than just a happy ending, there's mental suffering, and many other things that people can't deal with... and that's why your setsuna and konoka are so special... because they learn how to beat that!
I can't wait for your next update, though(as always) no pressure! I don't care how long it takes, just as long as it's updated! And I hope Furu-chan is doing much better!
| AleatoirePerson chapter 4 . 6/14/2008
now I getting...everything is much more clear -
ah...great chapter by the way n.n...I'm really loving this fic...a lot more know that I'm acctually understanding-I guess-the fic *-*
but I kinda miss konoka...isn't she showing up? u.u
hope you to continue it soon *-*
see ya o/
| pigtopus chapter 4 . 6/12/2008
Good to see that you're back to update :D
I was re-reading the story. And in Chapter 2, there's like this extra story there. Is it part of this?
| Kazue Aohito chapter 3 . 1/18/2008
Nice. Though I must question your original intent on writing this. Now stop studying and chat w/ me online sometime, would you? I wouldn't want to waste your calling minutes, but seems as though you've disappeared altogether.
| Locke SHiSUi chapter 3 . 1/17/2008
You have a smooth style, and a unique storyline. Your scene changes are slightly abrupt, yet dramatic in it's own right creating a sense of mystery that draws me into reading more. The addition of flashbacks and such present puzzles within puzzles. Intriguing, I should say.
Congratulations. :) You've just become one of my favorite authors. Keep up the good work.
| Bishimimou chapter 3 . 1/16/2008
I loved that chapter, Furu-chan, and no need to apologise about a sickness. You couldn't help it and I'm sure all of your fans are just glad that you are better. I was so distrought today when I went to read your memoir's third installment, chapeter... whatever it's called... And the site was blocked! I was like gr! How can they block it(at my school... I don't have the internet at my house.) but I will read it eventually, and PM you what I think.
| AleatoirePerson chapter 2 . 1/15/2008
T-T that was sad...the final one shot at the secod chapter I mean...I really liked, it was so sad and well written tha made me cry .
ah...and I diddidn't get one thng, still in chap 2 ther was like another story, right in the beggining...somethjing about the compters...was is an extra or something? wasn't part of the story...I guess.
anyway...I liked. -
and that song u.u...you made me curious about it, I'll look for it o/
I'm going to read the third one now , bet is as good as usual v
| CeLlTab chapter 3 . 1/15/2008
great story so far! will there be a chapter as in konoka's pov like that of a setsuna pov? u kno like, Konokas thoughts about everything XD i wanna see what both characters think about. Great chappy! please update again soon~! XD

Very well written! Loved the Mermaid story. I never read Little Mermaid before. LOL!
| pigtopus chapter 2 . 1/15/2008
I can't believe I really cried. Way too good
| Yukimura Akira chapter 2 . 10/17/2007
Hey there, Furu-chan. I know I'm a little late in reviewing but... Oh wells. I loved the one-shot you included at the end of the chapter. It was awesome. I loved the angsty feeling that it gave me. Please, if you would, write more because I simply love your stories. They always inspire me somehow. Thank you for the one-shot.

Development of admixture mapping panels for African Americans from commercial high-density SNP arrays
Admixture mapping is a powerful approach for identifying genetic variants involved in human disease that exploits the unique genomic structure in recently admixed populations. To use existing published panels of ancestry-informative markers (AIMs) for admixture mapping, markers have to be genotyped
We developed two panels of AIMs (~2,000 markers each) based on the Affymetrix Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0 for admixture mapping with African American samples. These two AIM panels had good map power that was higher than that of a denser panel of ~20,000 random markers as well as other published panels of AIMs. As a test case, we applied the panels in an admixture mapping study of hypertension in African Americans in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
Developing marker panels for admixture mapping from existing genome-wide genotype data offers two major advantages: (1) no
Admixture mapping is an approach for localizing disease susceptibility loci that attempts to capitalize on the long-range linkage disequilibrium occurring in populations formed by recent mixing of ancestral populations
Several groups have built panels of ancestry-informative markers (AIMs) based on multiple databases of human genetic variation
In this study, we constructed marker panels for admixture mapping with African American populations, starting from the Affymetrix Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0, which probes variation at 909,508 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Using genome-wide genotypes in our study sample of African Americans already experimentally determined for genome-wide association studies and HapMap data to represent the presumed ancestral parental populations, we constructed one panel consisting of SNPs with large differences in allele frequencies between the ancestral parental populations and a second panel consisting of SNPs with large
Study Population
The admixed population under study comprised participants in the Howard University Family Study (HUFS) from the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area
Genome-wide genotyping in the HUFS was performed using the Affymetrix Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0. DNA samples were prepared and hybridized following the manufacturer's instructions
HapMap phase III CEU (1,403,896 SNPs and 180 individuals), YRI (1,484,416 SNPs and 180 individuals), and ASW (1,536,247 SNPs and 90 individuals) genotype data were obtained from the International HapMap Project
For a given SNP,
Genetic Map of SNPs
The Rutgers Combined Linkage-Physical Map of the Human Genome was used to locate markers on the genetic map (in cM) given positions on the physical map (in bp). The positions of SNPs on the genetic map were obtained using a web-based application
Selection of Ancestry-Informative Markers from HapMap Data
We followed a six-step process to select AIMs. First, we selected SNPs for which the minor allele frequency was ≥ 0.01 in both ancestry populations (CEU and YRI). Second, we filtered for SNPs for which

We calculated the Shannon information content (SIC), defined as

Application of the Admixture Panels
As an example of applying our newly developed panels, we investigated hypertension in the HUFS. The relative risk for hypertensive heart disease among African Americans was 2.80 compared to European Americans
We performed admixture mapping using both the locus-genome and case-control statistics for hypertension in the HUFS data. No marker reached genome-wide significance for hypertension case/control status using ANCESTRYMAP (Figure

In this study, we constructed panels of markers with variable informativeness for ancestry in admixed African Americans. We had previously genotyped our sample using the Affymetrix Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0 for genome-wide association studies. Repurposing markers for admixture mapping eliminates the need for
Admixed populations most commonly used in admixture mapping to date involve those formed by recent admixture between groups originating from different continents as a result of European maritime expansion during the past few hundred years
The power of admixture mapping is affected by the information content of the marker map, the sample size, and admixture proportions. We estimated that both AIM panels had an average map power of 0.73 ± 0.08, which is similar to 0.71 ± 0.09 for a previously constructed panel of 2,154 AIMs in African Americans
We constructed two panels of AIMs for admixture mapping in African Americans from experimentally determined genotypes using the Affymetrix Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0. We constructed the panels conditional on linkage equilibrium over 1 Mb bins. Our iterative pruning procedure was designed to avoid gaps in coverage and to eliminate background linkage disequilibrium. Given the mathematical relationship between
Developing marker panels for admixture mapping from existing genotype data derived from commercial high density SNP chips offers two major advantages. (1) No

Back in September of last year we talked about a location-based MMORPG that had just opened up sign-ups for closed beat testing. Since then Life is Magic has been in beta testing until recently when it was released onto iOS. Well Red Robot Games has opened the doors to everyone on Android now to join in on their rather unique game.
Life is Magic isn't your typical location-based MMORPG so before passing judgement you should probably read on. This game takes the world around you and transforms it into a full-scale fantasy MMORPG with magic, dungeons, treasure and all of that good stuff you want in a normal MMORPG. However, instead of layering some visuals over Google Maps or anything like that, Life is Magic completed rendered a new game world based off of your location and provides full animated characters and environments. Basically it is a real MMORPG that uses your location to generate the land.
Life is Magic Features:
– Massively Multiplayer Persistent Location Based MMO!
– Compete with other players where you live to claim Magic Towers as your own
– Compete against real players for real locations!
– Fight in deep dungeons all over the world to grow stronger and find rare equipment
– Real locations and places transformed into a magical, fantasy world
– Choose from three characters: Mage, Machinist or Monk
– Persistent global world
– Search for and unlock new treasures
– Buy powerful new spells
– Invite friends or foes to your party and become world renowned
– Find and chat with new players by location
– 4 Million+ locations to compete for
– Virtually infinite number of weapons and gear to find and use
– 100 Quests to complete!
– Friend invite system with twitter & facebook
– Send and receive daily free gifts
– Discover new players where you live
Combat is done in a turn-based style similar to what you would find in games like Final Fantasy. Aside from defeating monsters, and other players, you can also capture magic towers and steal tons of loot. You also have quests you can complete and a never ending amount of weapons and gear you can find and use. The game already has millions of locations you can compete for control over, dungeons to explore and the entire world is persistent, just like any other MMORPG.
For those of you who unfortunately didn't get into the closed beta, you can now jump into the game by downloading it off of Google Play for free. Have no fear either as you won't be behind beta testers as everything reset before the game launched publicly.

Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer.
There is no Kansas Bankruptcy exemption (protection) for a lump-sum severance payment. Since any of that money that you have at the time you file a Bankruptcy can be taken by the Bankruptcy court, it would be a good idea to wait until the money is spent before filing a Bankruptcy.
(This is assuming that you have lived in Kansas continuously for the past 2 years. If you have not, please let me know, as the exemptions may be different if you have not lived in Kansas for the past 2 years.)
I think this is what you wanted to know. If not, please let me know.
Thank you.

Published: September 6, 2013 - 11:25 AM
WASHINGTON: Payrolls climbed less than projected in August and gains in the prior two months were revised down, indicating companies are being deliberate in their hiring as they wait for a pickup in demand. The unemployment rate unexpectedly fell as more people left the labor force.
The addition of 169,000 workers last month followed a revised 104,000 rise in July that was smaller than initially estimated, Labor Department figures showed in a Friday report.
The median forecast of 96 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for an August increase of 180,000. Unemployment dropped to 7.3 percent, the lowest since December 2008.
Treasury bonds rose as investors curbed bets that the Federal Reserve will start to reduce its $85 billion monthly pace of bond purchases at its Sept. 17-18 meeting.
"The Fed is certainly going to want to get more information before they make this move, particularly given how violent the financial market reaction has been to tapering," said Julia Coronado, New York-based chief economist for North America at BNP Paribas and a former Fed economist. "You're not going to play Russian roulette with the U.S. economy and risk another backlash in interest rates."
The unemployment rate, derived from a Labor Department survey of households rather than employers, was forecast to hold at 7.4 percent, according to the Bloomberg survey median.
The rate was driven lower as the share of working-age people in the labor force declined. The so-called participation rate declined to 63.2 percent, the lowest since August 1978, from 63.4 percent.
Revisions to prior reports subtracted a total of 74,000 jobs to payrolls in the previous two months.
Gains in earnings and hours worked were a bright spot. Average hourly earnings climbed by 0.2 percent to $24.05 in August from the prior month, and increased 2.2 percent over the past 12 months. The average workweek for all workers rose by six minutes to 34.5 hours.
Private employment, which excludes government agencies, rose 152,000 after a revised gain of 127,000 in July that was weaker than first reported. Private payrolls were projected to rise by 180,000, the survey showed.
Employment at factories increased by 14,000 following a 16,000 decrease in the previous month, the Friday report showed. Economists had projected a 5,000 rise. Employment at private service-providers increased less in August than the prior month. Government payrolls rose by 17,000.
Some companies contending with limited growth in overseas markets are trimming their workforce. San Jose, Calif.-based Cisco Systems Inc., the biggest maker of networking equipment, on Aug. 14 said it is cutting 4,000 jobs, or 5 percent of its workforce, as weaker sales in Japan, China and Europe weigh on revenue growth.
Fed officials are debating when the labor market will be strong enough to warrant scaling back the pace of bond purchases aimed at boosting growth and putting more Americans back to work.
Fed Bank of Chicago President Charles Evans, who has consistently supported record stimulus, said Friday the Fed shouldn't taper its bond buying until inflation and economic growth pick up.
"To start the wind-down, it will be best to have confidence that the incoming data show that economic growth gained traction during the third quarter of this year and that the transitory factors that we think have held down inflation really do turn out to be transitory," Evans said in a speech in Greenville, S.C.
Central bankers had affirmed a pledge on July 31 to continue bond buying until they see signs "the outlook for the labor market has improved substantially." The Fed has also committed to hold the main interest rate near zero as long as the jobless rate is above 6.5 percent and the outlook for inflation doesn't exceed 2.5 percent.
"Today's numbers are soggy, and certainly at odds with other evidence on the economy that shows things are OK," said Joshua Shapiro, chief U.S. economist at Maria Fiorini Ramirez Inc. in New York, who had forecast payrolls would rise 170,000. "It means tapering is not a done deal. Fed policy makers may want to punt until the next meeting."
Bill Gross, manager of the world's biggest bond mutual fund, said Fed officials are unlikely to alter the timetable for tapering.
"Bernanke and company are committed to a taper," said Gross, co-founder of Pacific Investment Management Co. "It will be taper-light as opposed to a strong tapering."
The Institute for Supply Management's factory index on Thursday showed manufacturing expanded in August at the fastest pace since June 2011. The group's gauge of service industries, which cover almost 90 percent of the economy, posted the highest reading since December 2005, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
