text:
The philosophes in the 18th century were French intellectuals whose ideas formed the core of Enlightenment though. The principal figures involved were Montesquieu, Voltaire, Denis Diderot, Jean Jacques Rousseau, Condillac, Alembert,D'holbach, Turgot, and Condorcet.
They did not form any sort of organization, but often discussed and debated ideas among themselves. They shared a devotion to reason, philosophical empiricism, mathematical modes of thought, trust in scientific inquiry, and a belief in the Idea of Progress. They had a wide following among the intellectuals of Europe. Their zest for rational investigation of the natural world is exemplified by Diderot's 'Encyclopedie (1751-66), to which many of them contributed.
In religion the philosophes encouraged toleration and skepticism; in politics their writings often reflected and furthered republicanism and the democratic spirit.
The American Founding Fathers read their work closely and adopted many of their ideas. Montesquieu in particular influenced American republicanism. In turn they followed American events, often with the personal encouragement of Benjamin Franklin and admired the American Revolution
The philosophes had a great influence on the French Revolution. The doctrines of natural law which they helped to popularize, were codified in the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen (1789) and in the American Bill of Rights (1791).

Purchased over 30 years ago from the Cherokee Reservation in North Carolina, this handmade four strand choker necklace is a true tribal piece.
The necklace is handmade of long Buffalo pipe bone beads spaced with antiqued brass beads, cobalt blue glass tube beads and thick black leather strips. The ends are soft neutral tone suede leather that taper into long ties.
The necklace measures 18 inches long with some of the leather and then there's another 9 inches of tie strip at each end. The necklace measures 1 3/8 inches wide.
This genuine Cherokee necklace has developed a great look over the decades...that just right 'broken in' patina that newer versions lack. This is in excellent vintage condition. Beautiful and authentic.

"Finally getting some ADD treatment. ..."
About: Edgware Community Hospital Edgware Community Hospital Edgware HA8 0AD
Posted by Icicle (as ),
What I liked
Finally getting some ADD treatment. Only took five years.
What could be improved
I was in the pharmacy today and one of the staff was licking her fingers, turning pages and handling boxes of medicine. There was a pharmacy full of staff and not one of them thought to teach her basic hygene or at least hide her filthy habits from public view. What makes her think patients, some with immune system disorders, want a full compliment of her oral pathogens I don't know.
Anything else?
Anyone with a compromised immune system would be well advised to get their prescriptions fullfilled elsewhere.

Le recensioni degli altri alloggi del proprietario
We were very happy with everything here.
Francesca came to the street to greet us and welcome in. Apartment was nice and beautiful and the terrace of course was awesome. Spent great 2 nights here and would like to come again as well.
Francesca also fixed us ride from the airport and that was very good idea since after seeing the small streets I believe regular taxi driver would not drive you to the front door. So thank you for that as well.
Oh yeah, and the Trevi seems to be even closer than what it says. We went there many times. Thank you!
La casa está muy bien situada, con unas vistas directas e increíbles sobre la fontana de Trevi.
Tiene aire acondicionado en 2 salas y refresca toda la casa, cosa que se agradece muchísimo.
En general, la casa está muy bien. Repetiría.
Apartment just in the middle of everything. A big terrace on the roof that we used every dag. Do note that the stairs up to the roof are narrow. Everything to our full satisfaction except for 1st floor where higth is for kids only. We were 6 adults and the 4 of us, sleeping upstairs had to move around backs bending forward not to crash our head against the ceiling. That we did not know.
La estancia ha estado bien pero las fotos y lo que decia no era del todo cierto.En la descripcion del apartamento decia que tenia una terraza y hasta salua una foto,cuando en realudad no existe y te dicen que esta en ibras li cual es falso ya que es un terrado al final de la finca ,nunca la terraza que sparece.
El personal que te espera no es muy agradable y rambien es un problema que se tiene que subir a pie.
En cuanto a las habitaciones de arriba son un altillo y no puedes pasar de pie de ninguna manera y esto que eramos mujeres y bajas .La ultima habitacion es de 2 camas muy estrechas.
Mysig lägenhet på fantastiskt läge vid Campo di fiori. Den skulle vara för 6 personer men bara 4 stolar i köket så alla fick inte plats på en gång. Det skulle finnas en terass men den var avstängd pga översvämning. Tycker att man skulle få info om det innan. Valde denna lägenhet pga terass.
Alles toll geklappt.
Wir waren eine Familie mit 4 Personen, dafür perfekte Wohnung in perfekter Lage.
2 Fenster zum Trevi-Brunnen.
Alles ok.
Excellent appartment! Very well located very close to the Fontana di Trevi. Very quite and lots of light with an incredible terrace. I'll repeat if I come back to Rome! Many thanks Francesca!!!
Excellent location
A perfect situated flat in two levels.It is really in the center and in a very quiet area.
There are however some buts.
At the second level, there are only app. between 140 - 170 cm which means it is only usable for children
There are only two doors in the flat (those are to the two bathrooms). That means that all the " rooms " are connected as if it was one big room.
For two adult persons the flat is more than perfect.
Awful stay., Internet never worked. Electrical panel is not enough for the apartment . We had no electrical for a whole night. Front bedroom has no A/C. Called Virginia ( The Agent Host ) and after 3 hours she called back , her response was you can't turn everything on in the apartment. My husband is a contractor in the USA and knows how to turn the panel back on. It would not stay on regardless. Even when we unplugged the refrigerator . She said she would refund part of the rental. By the time we left the next morning., she called us" UGLY AMERICANS , you expect everything to work. Why do you need internet , you should be out seeing a church ." She was completely rude and of course no refunds was ever given. I am part italian and love visiting Italy . It is a shame she does not have manners. Don't rent this apartment . There are so many beautiful apartments in Rome , with wonderful host.

"Exceptionally good care by lovely professional..."
About: Furness General Hospital Furness General Hospital Barrow-In-Furness LA14 4LF
Posted by Anonymous
What I liked
I recently visited Furness General to have my second child, I was booked in for an elective c-section and I could not have had a better experience. I was greeted by kind attentive staff who were positive and informative about what was going on. The midwives, doctors and anaesthetist were very helpful and explained everything clearly and reassured me. The theatre staff were welcoming, professional, friendly and really made me feel at ease at what can be a scary time. They were also very good with my partner in surgery and reassured and explained what was going on to him. Post operative care was excellent, and I really felt important as a patient. The midwives were very helpful and exceptionally caring and reassuring. I cannot recommend Furness General highly enough. Facilities were very good and clean.
What could be improved
The only thing I can think of that could be improved is the food, it wasnt terrible but it wasnt good
Anything else?
I would just like to thank the maternity and theatre staff for giving me a really positive experience and taking very good care of me and my child.

NRM South is involved in the protection of shorebird habitat and in raising awareness of the threats to our valuable shorebird population. Data collected by BirdLife Tasmania, through annual shorebird surveys and with support from NRM South, community and local government, has identified serious decline in resident shorebirds' breeding success and recruitment. This is a statewide issue, which is being addressed with support from NRM North and Cradle Coast NRM.
NRM South supports numerous shorebird awareness and protection activities across targeted locations in Southern Tasmania, and works with a range of groups and partners in coastal Southern Tasmania as well as local community, tourists and volunteer groups. We have delivered a range of engagement and protection activities to protect threatened bird species including Discovery Ranger activities, responsible dog ownership events, displays and information distribution, installation of temporary/permanent protection around key breeding sites, surveying and monitoring, installation of interpretive signage and feral control activities.
Resident shorebird species at risk of coastal breeding impacts include EPBC-listed Hooded Plover and Fairy Tern, as well as Sooty and Pied Oystercatchers, Red-capped Plover, Black-fronted Dotterel and Masked and Banded Lapwings. Other migratory shorebirds also frequent our coastal areas, and are often at risk of disturbance.
South East Regional Shorebirds Alliance (SERSA)
The South East Regional Shorebirds Alliance is a collaboration with multiple government and not-for-profit organisations that supports community efforts in Southern Tasmania's east coast to protect beach nesting shorebirds. NRM South's role in this collaboration has been to drive the alliance and support regional activity. This includes; addressing local issues; leading and developing communications (including publications and information resources). NRM South also provides funding for NRM Facilitator roles as well as project funds for partners to deliver their specific activities (e.g. Discovery Rangers), including monitoring, community events, signage, fencing, and schools education.
SERSA's aim is to ensure that beach nesting shorebirds are able to recruit and maintain populations through successful breeding, and into the future to reduce their rapid decline across Tasmania – and to work with the community to directly contribute to this effort. For more information, head to our SERSA page.

due to unfortunate circumstances i cannot go see my son tonight. My husband will, but I cannot.
Comment deleted
The orginal plan was that we were going to church with my mom and dad, and then going to see Connor. My mom was then going to bring my three back to the house while we were at the hospital so they could be in bed by 9 and we could have a lot of time with Connor. my sister ended up in the ER and we dont have anyone else to watch the kids. I dont have a license right now, and Connor needed milk, so hubby got to go instead.
I'm sorry you cannot go see Connor tonight. :(
so sorry Amanda! Don't worry, at least your husband will see Connor tonight. Can you just relax and do something for yourself and your other kids?
Not the way they are acting. They have all gone crazy. all i wanna do is curl up in a ball.
Why don't you put them to bed early so you can relax? There's no crime in doing that.
The girls are down and Grahm is in hos crib screaming like im killing him. Im pumping and then crashing.
I'll pray Grahm calms down and goes to sleep quickly so you can go to sleep too.
I'm sorry! I hope your husband can call and update you!
I slept for 4 hours. He finally fell asleep at 8, shortly after I wrote this.
Well four hours is what it is and better than nothing, right?
