I did not have such a good childhood and left school pretty early. Instead of staying at home with my family, I decided that I would move to London. I had saved up some money, but at 16 years old, I was still pretty naïve. Like so many other kids who left home around my age, I did not realise how expensive it would be to live in London. Not only did I have to pay rent, but I needed to feed myself as well. I did manage to find a little job, but the money was lousy and nothing like the money I earn ton day with cheap escorts in London.
After a couple of months, I ended up homeless and living on the street. When I stop and think about it, I was mad leaving home. But, I did not get on with my family at all, so I really did not have very much of a choice. When I left home, I did not have a clue about many things, and I had not even heard about London escorts. When I first heard about sexy cheap escorts in London, I got the wrong impression and managed to convince myself working for a London escorts service was not for me. That was until I met a girl who actually worked for cheap escorts service in London.
I used to go to this help center in central London. It was a place where you could get a hot meal, a shower, and fresh clothes. People used to drop off things like food and clothes. One of the girls who used to come in a lot was this really pretty girl. She as different from the rest and I felt comfortable around her. We started to chat, and eventually, she told mused to work for a London escorts service. I was a bit taken back, but she explained all about cheap escorts in London. She also told me she used to live on the streets.
Eventually, she persuaded me that London escorts were not such a bad idea. I was surprised by her kindness. She took me in and let me stay on her sofa, and if you like, cleaned me up. I realise now that we came from the same background. She did not see eye to eye with her family and felt that she had been given the push by her family. After many family disputes she had finally left home, and when she came to London, she had managed to get a job with a London escorts service. She
was an amazing look girl and very self-confident which was something I lacked at the time.
Things have certainly changed. I now find myself working for an elite London escorts service, and I can only thank my lucky stars. Not only am I doing well, but I have got my own flat, and love life. Do I see my family? No, I decided my family was not for me. I am not the only hard luck story at our London escorts service. Many of the girls have been in the same boat as me, and we have kind of formed our own little family. I
support a lot of charities who help the homeless. Having had personal experience I feel passionate about helping people who are homeless and I know what they need. Young women who live on the streets are very vulnerable, and I often stop to
chat to some of the girls I see on the streets. There is help out there, but you can also help yourself as I did,

Most people have searched for something on Google before. When you searched, did you noticed those highlighted search results at the top of the page and in the right sidebar? Those are PPC ads. Companies paid so that their web site would appear high in the search results. This was most likely money well spent because PPC ads can bring a lot of new customers.
Pay-per-click advertising (or PPC for short) is one of the most cost effective forms of advertising online. With PPC advertising, advertisers only pay when web surfers actually click through to their web sites. This can eliminate a lot of waste in the advertising process. For example, an advertiser could purchase a banner ad at the top of a popular website. This advertiser would have to pay for the ad even if there was not a single click.
PPC advertising is a great way to bring targeted traffic to your website. Your PPC ads will only show up on web sites that are associated with the keywords that you choose. The people who click on your PPC ads are actively searching for your keywords. This increases your chance of making a sale. Even if visitors to your web site don't make a purchase on their first visit, you can add them to your mailing list and market to them indefinitely.
Web surfers are bombarded with information. PPC advertising can allow you to connect with the people who are searching for what you have to offer. Once the connection is made, you will have the opportunity to establish a relationship with the surfer and show them that you are an expert in your field.
There is a potential downside to PPC advertising. If you don't know what you're doing, you could easily spend too much money bidding on the wrong keywords. You need someone with experience to guide you through the process. The professionals at Blacksmith have years of experience dealing with PPC advertising. You can trust them to guide you to success.

Dubbed the City of Lights or Kashi, Varanasi is a holy town situated on the west bank of the River Ganga. Call it the land of Shiva or simply a historic city that has several mysteries concealed deep within; this holy city has a spiritual legacy that dates back to more than 3000 years. Varanasi has stayed an important pilgrimage centre in India and for those visiting from outside the country it reflects authentic India. Today, Varanasi is a busy hub, where all winding roads look similar, ghats are always crowded and the fragrance of incense and the smell of burnt firewood dissolve in the air. The aartis and the floating of earthern lamps over the water of Ganga in the evening is also an important element of the identity of Varanasi. Apart from this, the sacred city is also the reflection of different architecture, from the Kings of Bengal to the Maharajas of Rajasthan; all have contributed in making Varanasi an epitome of rich Indian culture and faith.
This post takes you on a journey of the holy city of Varanasi and suggests you some of the best places to see here:
Situated in the premises of Banaras Hindu University (BHU), New Vishwanath Temple is definitely a must visit in Varanasi. The temple was constructed by the famed Birla family and hence is also known as Birla Temple. In fact, it is a temple complex which consists of 7 temples. The Shiva temple is situated on the ground floor, whereas Durga temple and Lakshmi Narayan temple are located on the first floor. The architecture of the temple is inspired by the old Vishwanath Temple and the structure is made of white marbles. The walls of the temple are adorned with the text of Gita, which certainly catches the eyes of the visitors here.
This temple is famous for its exquisite architecture and wood work. It is believed that the temple was built by King of Nepal and thus, this shrine is also called Nepali Temple. It is situated in the Lalita Ghat and catches the attention of many visitors in Varanasi. The intricate wood carving is what attracts visitors the most; the temple reflects the refined taste for good architecture taste of the rulers of Nepal.
Kashi Vishwanath Temple is the most important place to see in Varanasi. The history of this sacred shrine can be traced back to 3500 years. The temple is one of the 12th Jyotirlingas, which are considered the holiest Shiva temples. The Linga is the presiding deity here and the temple is quadrangle, surrounded by temples of other gods. The temple once had a golden spire and domes; hence it was also called the Golden Temple.
This temple is yet another important shrine in Varanasi. Dedicated to Lord Rama, Tulsi Manas Temple is situated next to another famed shrine called Durga Temple. It is a white-marble temple that has its walls covered with the text from Tulsi Das written Ramcharitramanas. It is believed that the temple is located at a place where Tulsi Das wrote this famous Indian epic.
Also known as Durga Temple, Monkey Temple is yet another popular temple in Varanasi. The temple is dedicated to Goddess Durga but is recognized as a Monkey Temple, due to excessive population of monkeys around it. It is believed the presiding deity was not man-made but appeared on its own. The temple is built by a Bengali Maharani in a Nagara style of architecture. Non-Hindus are allowed to enter the courtyard of the shrine but not the inner sanctum.
This temple is one of its kinds as instead of being dedicated to any god or goddess, the temple is dedicated to Bharat Mata or India (assumed as Mother). The temple is situated in Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapeeth Campus. Inaugurated by Mahatma Gandhi in 1936, the temple was an inspiration for those who were fighting the war of independence. The statue in the shrine denotes mountain, plain and ocean and the major highlight of the temple is the relief map of India carved on a marble.
Alamgir mosque is famed for its exquisite architecture and enviable location. The mosque is situated on the edge of River Ganga and enjoys a picturesque scene. Said to be built by Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb who is believed to have demolished the old Kashivishwanath Temple and constructed this mosque in its place; Alamgir mosque is a fine piece of architecture. The mosque is also known as Gyanvapi mosque due to the well of the same name situated close to it. One can notice the influence of North Indian or Hindu architecture in this mosque; however most of the mosque is done in Islam architecture.
Reckoned to be the oldest ghat in Varanasi, Dasaswamendha Ghat is where all the action takes place. The ghat is situated near the Vishwanath temple and is famous for its evening aarti. Often crowded with sadhus, sanayasis, beggars and devotees, this ghat is an important landmark of Varanasi city. During the evening aarti, devotees leave earthern lamps in the water to float creating a beautiful scene which is unmatched.
This sacred ghat is situated on the confluence of the River Ganga and Assi. The devotees bathe here prior to paying homage to a huge Shivalingam placed under a tree in close proximity to this ghat. The ghat is situated at the south of the city and therefore is less crowded. However, it doesn't by any means indicate that the ghat holds any less importance than other ghats.
Manikarnika is the main cremation ghat and is also reckoned to be one of the oldest ghats in Varanasi. It is also known by the name of Burning Ghat as the dead bodies are burnt here regularly. According to Hindu mythology, Manikarnika Ghat is believed to be the place where the ornament worn by Sati on her ear fell down when Lord Shiva was carrying her to the Himalaya. It is a popular belief here that those who are cremated here get Moksha.
Manmandir Ghat is situated north of Dasaswamedha ghat in Varanasi. The ghat is reckoned to have been built in 1600s by Maharaja Man Singh. To the northern corner of the ghat is a fine stone balcony. There are a few famous temples such as Sthuladanta Vinayaka, Rameshwara and Someshwara temples located near this ghat.
Shivala Ghat is amongst the finest ghats in Varanasi that very well reflects the historic era. The ghat is famed for its Shiva Temple that was built in the 19th century by a Nepalese King called Sanjay Vikram Shah. The temple is known for its architectural grandeur and fine craftsmanship. The ghat is quite popular amidst the devotees who come here to take a dip in the holy water.
This ghat is named after the mythological character Raja Harishchandra, who once worked at this ghat. Now, this king is believed to be righteous and truthful and gods were pleased with his humble behavior and thus retrieved his lost kingdom and his dead son to him. Harishchandra Ghat is one of the two ghats used for cremation in Varanasi and it is reckoned that whoever is cremated here attains Moksha or Salvation.
This ghat is named after the great poet Tulsidas, who is believed to be the author of the Hindu epic Ramcharitramanas. It is believed Tulsidas sat on this ghat of the river and wrote a large part of Ramcharitramanas here. It is also reckoned that the first ever Ramlila (the story of Lord Rama's life) was staged at this ghat. There is a big temple here that is dedicated to Lord Rama on this ghat. At Tulsi ghat many cultural activities also take place and the most popular one is the Krishnalila that takes place in the month of Kartika (Oct/Nov).
Situated within close proximity of Dasaswamedha ghat, Darbhanga ghat is used for performing the rites and rituals that are related to the demise of a loved one. The ghat has a grand building from where one can see the rituals being performed here.
Scindia ghat, which is also known as Shinde ghat in Varanasi, is famed for the large number of places of worship found here. The Shiva temple at the ghat is a major attraction due to its partial submergence in the water. According to Hindu mythology, this ghat is known as the place from where Agni (Fire) originated. Thus, it is revered as a holy place and many devotees like to visit here.
Ahilyabai ghat was earlier known as Kevalgiri ghat but in 1778, the famous Queen Ahilyabai Holkar ordered its renovation and converted it into a ghat that was made of concrete. The ghat is famous for the fact that it is believed to be the first ghat in Varanasi that has been named after a person. The best time of the day to visit here is in the morning hours, when the Hindu devotees throng the ghat to take a dip to get cleansed from their sin.
One of the most venerated ghats in Varanasi, Lalita Ghat is known for its wooden temple of Keshava. The temple was built by King of Nepal in typical Nepalese architecture. The carvings on the wall depict sceneries and often attract the art lovers. The ghat is dedicated to Lalita Devi who is reckoned to be the personification of Goddess Durga. Devotees who come to this ghat believe that bathing at this ghat will earn them blessing of the Goddess and prosperity will seep into their lives.
This ghat was constructed by Raja Rana Jagat Singh, who came to Varanasi as a pilgrim. There is a palace near the ghat, which is believed to be the place where the Maharaja stayed during his pilgrimage. The palace boasts of its rich Rajputana architecture and attracts lots of tourists.
Causatthi Ghat is known for its beautiful palace built by King Digbatiya of Champaran, Bihar. The ghat is also known as the shelter of famous Sanskrit scholar Madhusudan Sarasvati. There is temple complex at the ghat as well, where old images of Kali, folk goddesses, Shiva, Ganesha, and Kartikeya can be seen. On the 12th dark-half of Chaitra (March-April) many pilgrims pay a visit to the Yogini temple and take ritual baths at this ghat. Another occasion of attraction is Holi, on the eve of the festival devotees come to pay homage and perform rituals at the ghat.
Adjacent to the Vishwanathan Temple lays the ancient Gyan Vapi Well (Well of Wisdom). It is believed that the water of this well contains the linga from the original Vishwanath Temple, which was vandalized by Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in the 17th century. The Gyan Vapi mosque was built by Aurangzeb in the place where this temple was situated.
To the south of the Vishwanath Temple is Benaras Hindu University, which was founded by Sanskrit scholar, Madan Mohan Malviya. Within the campus of the university is the famed Bharat Kala Bhavan Museum, which is renowned for its rich collection of Indian paintings. The paintings date back to between 11th century and 20th century and are about 12000 in number. The Mughal miniatures, the sculpture of marriage of Shiva and Parvati and the 11th century statue of Vishnu and the Gandhara sculpture are the major attractions here.
Ramnagar Fort is situated across the river beyond the Asi ghat. Built in the 17th century, this fort has been the home to royals of Varanasi for over 400 years. Although almost in ruins today, the palace still retains its charm. One can still witness the ornamented swords, photographs of tiger shoots and visits by the King and Queen of Belgium can be seen decorated on the wall. The Durbar Hall of the fort is converted into a museum, where several objects like palanquins and elephant howdahs are on display.
This ghat is reckoned to be the mythical meeting place of five sacred rivers. There are numerous images of the five river goddess, namely, Ganga, Yamuna, Saraswati, Dhutpapa and Kirana. Many devotees throng this ghat in hopes of attaining blessings from these five goddesses. There are five idols presiding here and each is of black stone. From the ghat one can see the Alamgir Mosque, which is believed to have been constructed by Aurangzeb.
Sarnath is to Buddhists what Varanasi is to Hindus. This city was once the greatest learning centre in India and had also been visited by Chinese travellers Fa-Hien and Huien Tsang. The Deer Park is a major attraction in Sarnath; it is believed it is the place where Buddha visited in 528 BC to preach Dharmachakra or the Wheel of Law (his first major sermon after gaining enlightment). Deer Park is a complex now and the central monument here is Dhamekh Stupa, which is believed to be erected at place, where Buddha delivered his first sermon to five disciples. There is another stupa that catches the attention and it is called Dharmarajika Stupa (built by emperor Ashoka). The complex is dotted with small monasteries and temples. The Bodhi Tree is also planted here in the year 1931. In Sarnath, one can also visit the Archaeological Museum that displays a wonderful collection of Buddhist artifacts. The major attraction here is the Ashokan Lion Capital in polished sandstone.
The sacred location at the confluence of three rivers is what makes Allahabad a special place near Varanasi. The confluence of Ganga, Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati River has offered Allahabad cultural and political importance for nearly 3000 years now. Allahabad, also known as Prayag, became a major centre of the Independence Movement. Today, Allahabad is a prosperous province and its tree-line avenues and the congested old city offers a commendable contrast. There are a number of places that catches the attention of visitors in Allahabad. Allahabad Fort built in 1583 has a famed Ashokan pillar that was brought from Kaushambi. The eastern side of the fort is famed for the 'Undying Banyan Tree' called Akshaivata. Khusro Bagh, Anand Bhavan (ancestral home of India's premier political dynasty, the Nehru-Gandhi family), Allahabad Museum, All Saint's Cathedrala and the Kumbh Mela are the major highlights of Allahabad.
Situated about 63kms from Allahabad, Kaushambi is a place that takes one back in history. According to local legends, the city was built by the Pandavas from Mahabharata. However, excavation revealed that Buddhist community flourished here between 600BC and 600AD. At Kaushambi, one can see paved brick road, small houses, ceramic drains, and the stump of an Ashokan Pillar (3rd century BC). The city is surrounded by green fields and has a river in the background. It is indeed an ideal place nearby that one can visit from Varanasi.
Located on the bank of Sarayu River, Ayodhya is reckoned to be the birthplace of Lord Rama. At Ayodhya, one can find a large number of temples that commemorate the birth of Rama. This sacred town remains inextricably linked to the legend of Rama and thus holds a lot of importance. After the Babri Masjid incident, a makeshift temple has been built, which attracts a large number of devotees especially on the full moon night of Kartik Purnima. Hanuman Garhi is yet another temple that is of utmost importance in Ayodhya. At a short distance from Ayodhya is a city called Faizabad, which is also known as the twin city. Here one has the opportunity to visit Jama Masjid, tomb of Bahu Begum (wife of Shuja-ud-Daula) and a rose garden.
Situated at a distance of about 290kms from Varanasi, Betla National Park is situated on the Chhota Nagpur Plateau in Jharkhand. Boasting of rich variety of flora and fauna, this national park was initially known as Palamau Wildlife Sanctuary. The park is dotted with bamboo and sal groves; towering mahua (local alcohol is prepared from the flowers of this tree) also covers a major part of the forest. Betla is home to elephants, leopards, tigers and several species of birds. There are many watch towers and hides that are meticulously deployed around the water holes for offering better opportunity to spot animals here. The park also has a two 16th century forts, few hot springs and tribal villages inside its premises.
The sacred most sites for Buddhists, Bodhgaya is situated about 255kms from Varanasi. It is reckoned to be the place where Buddha attained enlightment. The Mahabodhi Temple is the major attraction of Bodhgaya; this temple is recognized by its soaring pyramidal spire. In the temple, the image of Bodhi Tree can also be seen. The tree is believed to be the one under which Buddha meditated before attaining enlightment. In Bodhgaya, there are a number of temples and monasteries that are worth seeing; the Thai Temple, Japanese Temple, Bhutanese and Tibetan Monasteries are established here by devotees from China, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Bhutan and Nepal. The Archaeological Museum in Bodhgaya is also worth seeing. The museum has beautiful 3rd century BC temple railings, bronze and stone images that dates back to 8th-12th century.
Nalanda was once reckoned to be the most prestigious centre of learning in India. Situated at a distance of 355kms from Varanasi, Nalanda in Bihar definitely deserves a visit. The Buddhist University established here in Nalanda is believed to had been established around 5th century AD and had 5000 students both domestic and foreign. There were over nine million manuscripts in its library. It is also believed that Buddha visited and stayed here in Nalanda quite often. Despite its vandalization by Turkish invader Bakhtiar Khalji, this university still conveys a distinct impression of the serene and disciplined life of contemplation and learning that once prevailed here. Nalanda's temple; Votive Stupas (they have several images of standing Boddhisattavas and seated Buddha); Monk's cells, monasteries and Dado panel from Temple 2 are the major attractions here.

PALO ALTO, Ca. - U.S. President Barack Obama asked tech industry executives on Friday for closer co-operation in defending against hackers after high-profile attacks against companies like Sony that exposed weaknesses in America's cyber defences.
Speaking at Stanford University, Obama told Silicon Valley executives they needed to share more information both with each other and with his administration.
"Government cannot do this alone. But the fact is that the private sector can't do it alone either because it's government that often has the latest information on new threats," he told a gathering of CEOs.
Obama has moved cybersecurity toward the top of his 2015 agenda after the recent breaches.
The Sony attack was particularly worrying for U.S. officials, who blamed North Korea for stealing data, debilitating computers and pressuring the studio to halt the release of a satirical film about leader Kim Jong-un.
"There's only one way to defend America from these cyber threats and that is through government and industry working together, sharing appropriate information as true partners," Obama said.
He was to meet privately with a small group of business leaders in Silicon Valley to try to mend fences with tech companies still smarting over damage to their businesses when government surveillance practices were exposed by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden.
Upset about the lack of reforms to surveillance programs, the CEOs of Google Inc, Facebook Inc and Yahoo Inc stayed away from Friday's conference.
But Apple Inc Chief Executive Tim Cook gave an address and other CEOs attended and spoke.
Obama signed an executive order aimed at encouraging companies to share more cyber threat data through "information sharing and analysis organizations" - hubs where companies share information with each other and with the Department of Homeland Security.
It is one step in a long effort to make companies as well as privacy and consumer advocates more comfortable with proposed legislation that would offer firms protection from being sued for handing over customer information to the government.

Ok, since the developers here are being very helpful, I'll ask more questions
Is there a difference between uploading files using the media management interface, and uploading them by ftp to the images/ directory? Does the database keep track of files added through the media management interface, or will the "select" button simply show all media files in the images/ directory regardless of how they were uploaded? The reason I'm asking is that I'm moving my blog over from some blogging service and adding the images and files one by one would be tedious.
Also, is there a way to stop the system from creating yr-mo\ directories for the uploaded files? If I wanted to upload a logo for example, it would make more sense to have it uploaded to the root directory rather than a date-specific subdirectory. Thank you.

The original form and meaning of both place names is unclear, but it is certain that they were once distinct; later the former name was transferred to Perthshire under the Livingstones, Earls of Linlithgow. Swedish: probably a variant of Carlander, from karl 'man' + -ander, ornamental suffix from classical Greek aner, andros 'man'. Variant spelling of German Kalander (see Kolander).

16. Business Card Trick
When applying mascara, hold a business card behind your lashes and apply it in a back and forth motion starting at the roots. You can really put it on this way, coating every lash fast while avoiding the dreaded mascara on your perfectly applied eyeshadow.
Or, even better, check out these No Smudge Mascara & Eyeshadow Shields by Flutterby. They have great reviews on Amazon!
17. Secret Eye Lift
Sweep a light pink matte pencil across the entire length of your brow bone to create the illusion of a higher arch, and then blend, blend, blend! It should not be detectable. You can read more about this tip here.
18. Proper Contouring
When applied right, contouring can define your cheekbones and jaw line, reduce the look of a double chin, minimize a larger nose, and lift sagging eyes. It's basically using makeup to highlight and accentuate your features. This is especially important for photos, as the camera tends to pick up shadows and highlights better than the naked eye.
There are actual contouring and highlighting kits (this one has the best reviews) made just for this, but you can also use a bronzer or powder that is a few shades darker than your skin, and a foundation that is a few shades lighter for highlighting. For the most part, your t-zone and under eye area is where you want to highlight, and the outer portion of your face, underneath your cheekbones, and your neck is where you want to define with a darker color. Keep in mind, blending is key for a natural look! This may take some practice at first.

Regional Organisations in a Multipolar and Multi-Level Governance Environment (2011-2014)
This project involves research on topics such as the relations between regional organisations and international financial institutions, inter-regionalism, multi-level regulatory processes and the relations between sub- and supra-national regional governance. In 2012-2013, the focus will be upon the role of regional and international financial institutions and upon the regional policies of the BRICS.
A book is currently under work on EU-World Bank relations in a new world order. The book will explore the manner in which EU member states and the Commission engage with the World Bank on geographic and thematic issues. It considers areas of convergence while noting how divergent the operational modalities of both institutions are.

On Tuesday, June 2, 2009 the Home Front Command conducted a national preparedness exercise and encouraged all civilians to head for secure rooms or areas. As the siren sounded at 11 AM, Bekol volunteers, standing outside the Tel Aviv train station held up signs announcing the siren. On the other side of the signs the message was: ?Having trouble hearing the siren? You might have hearing loss. We can help.?
According to Ido Granot, CEO of Bekol, about 10% of the population suffers from hearing loss. Only a small percentage of that number actually purchase hearing aids, and even a smaller number actually use them. The reasons are multifold; some people are unaware of their hearing loss, others are embarrassed and many feel that there is a lack of tolerance among the hearing public.
The goal of Tuesday?s activity, organized with the assistance of the Baumann-Bar- Rivnay advertising agency, was to raise awareness regarding the use of hearing aides and confer that they are an acceptable and even fashionable accessory, just like glasses.

Chana Masala (Chickpea curry)
Prep time
Cook time
Total time
I started off with Hema's recipe but found it far too hot and corianderish (seed) for my personal taste. Also simplified greatly the roasting processes. I'm very happy with this recipe now. My ethnically/gastronomically-Indian partner just told me it tasted amazing, and exactly like that Chana Masala we had at that restaurant where we both thought was the best-tasting we've ever had so far in the healthy-food category. So I think my improving this recipe is over and it's time to share it with you 🙂 You'll need to make a trip to the local Indian/Asian shop to do full justice to any Indian cooking including this dish. These are the must-have Indian spices you'll only find in any Indian shops : asofetida & amchur (which is green/unripe mango powder). The rest is usually commonly found even in supermarkets.
Author: Youcef Banouni – inspired and wholefoodised from Hema Parekh's Asian Vegan Kitchen (highly recommended)
Recipe type: low-fat, whole-food, plant-based
Cuisine: South Asian
Serves: 4~6 adult meals if served with rice
- 3 cups dried chickpeas, soaked overnight
- 3 large onions finely chopped
- 220g of salt-free or low-salt tomato paste concentrate OR 1kg of grated tomatoes (to be reduced later)
- A few stalks of fresh coriander (5 g)
- 3 small sticks cinnamon (finger-sized or two inches)
- 6 cardamom pods
- 6 bay leaves
- 1 Tbsp cumin seeds
- ¼th tsp asafoetida
- 1 tsp grated ginger, densely packed
- 1½ tsp turmeric
- 1½ tsp cayenne (OR 1 fresh hot chilli halved lengthwise)
- 1½ tsp unripe mango powder (look/ask for amchur in any Indian/South Asian shop, do not replace with mango!)
- 2 Tbsp Garam Masala (or Make your own)
- Put the soaked chickpeas to cook for 1h30 on medium heat in a regular pot (without a lid) or ~20 minutes in a pressure cooker. Do not stir them. They should be very soft and melt in the mouth when you press them with your tongue. Don't put too much water, ideally you wouldn't need to strain them later.
- Put some brown rice to cook as well to go with the Chana Masala later.
- Chop the coriander finely.
- Prepare the Garam Masala.
- Cut the onions finely. To save time, I use a mandoline to slice them, and a chopper (or a knife). Set aside.
- If you're using fresh tomatoes, grate them now to a purée. Set aside.
- Grate the ginger
- On low to medium heat, roast the spices "for roasting" for a few minutes. To prevent burning the the small/thin spices/herbs, put the biggest items first until roasted, then add the the smaller ones, so in this order: Cinnamon, cardamom, then bay leaves & cumin. Stir well, whenever it starts being fragrant and slightly smoking, add the onion immediately.
- Set the heat to the maximum and keep stirring the onions "dry". They will give off a lot of steam and start caramelizing.
- When the bottom of your pot starts being brown, reduce the heat to medium.
- Add either the grated tomatoes, or the tomato paste + ~1 litre of water.
- Add the "other spices" and the coriander, stir well and let cook for ~20 minutes. Stir now and then to prevent sticking at the bottom. Turn off the heat when the sauce is rather thick.
- Mix gently with the chickpeas. Enjoy!
Garnish with fresh coriander and slices of purple onion.
Serve either on rice or as a side with chapati (Indian wholemeal flatbread).

Antique Finds
Accessory shopping for clients is always fun, especially at one of my favorite Nashville antique stores, Gas Lamp Antiques and their second location, Gas Lamp Too. Here are some fun things I spotted on a recent visit.
I love this modern sculpture.
They have beautiful jewelry, too!
More nice sculpture and art…
It was hard to leave without this!
By land or by sea…
These paintbrushes, displayed in a glass vase, would work well as a decorative accent.
This great-looking brooch could be repurposed into a one-of-a-kind piece of hardware for furniture or cabinetry. Love the clean design and font!
What's your favorite place to shop for antiques?

Rafael Benítez has blamed Liverpool's managing director, Christian Purslow, for his departure from Anfield and the club's financial problems for last season's dramatic downturn on the pitch.
The former Liverpool manager accepted a severance payment worth up to £6m to leave Anfield this month, following a miserable campaign that yielded a seventh-place finish in the Premier League and saw the club drop out of the Champions League for the first time in six years.
Benítez endured a fraught relationship with Liverpool's co-owners, Tom Hicks and George Gillett, during his final years at Anfield and the pair tried to replace him as manager with Jürgen Klinsmann. However, the new Internazionale coach said the man responsible for his exit was Purslow, who joined Liverpool in June last year and is now overseeing the search for the Spaniard's successor as manager.
"It was really sad," Benítez said when discussing his departure in an interview with Radio City today. "I was on holiday so it was a surprise that everything was going on in this way, but at the end of the day it has to be like this because Christian Purslow is now in charge and he decided to do it in this way. That is it. It is really sad but you have to move forwards. I said to my family that we cannot stay talking too much or complain too much; we have to move forwards.
"The people of Liverpool are fighters and I was fighting from the beginning until the end. Now I have to do the same and I have to be thinking about the future. I was really pleased here, the fans were amazing, but I can't stand around complaining. I have to move forward and do my best for my new club." Liverpool declined to comment.
Roy Hodgson is expected to become the club's next manager once the terms of his departure from Fulham and contract at Anfield have been resolved, but Benítez said the problems of last season will not be eradicated simply by his exit. "It's strange. This year everything changed from the beginning," he said.
"People in the club changed and the approach to everything was different. Clearly it was a question in the beginning of controlling the money we could spend or not, and everything was different to the past. We were so close to winning the title the year before that everybody was expecting something more but we couldn't do it. We had some problems from the beginning with injuries and some performances, and there was a little bit of frustration. At the end the atmosphere was different and we can see now during the summer that the fans are not very happy."
Benítez kept open the possibility of a return to Merseyside, insisting he has no plans to sell his house in Wirral. He added: "I can guarantee one thing – I will not sell my house. It is our home and we will come back. I don't know when but we will come back for sure."

Auto and motorcycle accidents require chiropractic care. They are common causes of trauma to the spine and central nervous system. If you have been in an accident— even if you are not immediately experiencing pain or other symptoms — it's important that you visit a chiropractor for a comprehensive spinal evaluation.
At Hruby Chiropractic Wellness, we have extensive experience in evaluating and caring for auto and motorcycle accident patients. Through X-rays and/or physical examination techniques, Dr. Hruby can identify spinal subluxations (misalignments) of the vertebrae in the neck and back and detect damage to supportive tissues.
Pain and other symptoms of nervous system damage may not be noticeable until weeks or months after the accident occurred. If left uncorrected, subluxations can worsen, leading to pain, nervous system dysfunction, and ultimately to spinal degeneration.
Most auto insurance policies cover chiropractic care for accident victims. This is true regardless of who is at fault, or whether you were a driver, passenger or pedestrian at the time of the accident.
Your insurance benefits will be verified during their first visit to our office. During the second visit, your insurance benefits, course of care, and billing procedures will be clearly explained. Our office staff will assist you with preparing and submitting the necessary insurance forms.

International dairy commodity prices have dipped again as supply continues to outweigh demand.
Prices were down two percent at the November 6 Global Dairy Trade (GDT) event.
- Dairy production season starts with a hiss and a roar
- Global milk supply growth slowing despite bumper start to NZ season
The only commodities to see a lift in price were skim milk powder (SMP) and butter milk powder.
Whole milk powder (WMP) prices fell 2.9 percent.
The average price of US$2655 a tonne is the lowest achieved for WMP since August 2016, while regular grade WMP to ship in January plunged 6.4 percent.
NZX Dairy Analyst Amy Castleton isn't surprised at the drop.
"WMP offer volumes were high at this event, so prices had been expected to come down," she said.
She believes the trend is set to continue.
"WMP offer volumes are forecast to peak at the November 20 event, so the expectations of continued milk supply growth from NZ will put ongoing pressure on WMP prices," said Ms Castleton.
Butter prices lost 1.7 percent at the November 6 event.
Unsalted butter to ship in January dropped 5.8 percent.
"Ahead of the event, this grade and contract of butter had been expected to fall 1.9 percent, though there has been very little trading in butter futures recently," she said.
The event dragged out to over three hours indicating there was some strong competition in the market.

The United States authorities goes through money like an SUV burns gas. Every many years tons of bucks are simply wasted on things that merely are not crucial to the typical male. Thankfully the federal government also makes billions of dollars offered to its residents in the form of free federal government grants. If the authorities is going to squander money, why not permit them waste it on you?
Grants are normally accessible for a ton of reasons. A couple of common examples even authorities grants for housing, single moms, education as well as even countless grants for tiny company begin ups.
Starting a tiny company in America is costly. There was a time, not too prolonged ago, when a brand-new company owner can simply acquire its preliminary financing from their regional financial institution. As the credit markets tightened, it has become progressively more challenging to get the much wanted funding to obtain your company off the ground.
Why not allow the authorities provide the cash you need?
Government grants for little company start-off ups are able to really be the correct solution for your brand-new company. The government knows that little businesses are the backbone of the economic climate. Supporting the limited man truly winds up propping up regional economies in methods that our federal authorities just can't.
If you are taking into account starting your own company you're leaving hard earned cash on the table if you don't apply for one of the hundreds of complimentary grants that are accessible. Commonly, the cash you get is a grant, and hence, don'ts want to be paid back. As an alternative of simply adding yet another invoice to the heap you can easily now concentrate on increasing your company as well as including money to the bank account.

In March/April 2011 I had my first solo art exhibition, called the Braintrotter Connection, a collection of photos and art works based on photos. In addition I present below my biggest art work, a 6 x 6 x 6 meter metal object, a sculpture called the Braintrotter Cube. Built in 2005, dismantled in 2011. Thirdly I introduce you to a 50 meter installation work called The Constellation depicting the stars of the Australian flag. It has been built up to working stage. Finally a video of a DVD that ran in two exhibitions, called 'Braintrotter on the wallaby", a new project with inflatable animals warning against the impacts of Climate Change (called Em-brace) and Green Island in the Sky, celebrating our local nature, culture and businesses, to be published in October 2016.
1. Braintrotter Connection
This gallery includes small pictures of the real art works, which differ in size from A4 to 1.5 meters. Only one third of the entire collection is included, to give an impression of the entire range. I am currently working at an additional series of art works for my next exhibition.
Detailed information on the art works can be found by clicking the photos below.
2. The Braintrotter Cube.
In 2004/2005 a 3 tonnes, 6 x 6 x 6 metre Cube was designed and built at West Road, North Tamborine. The motto was 'You are what you say you are'. The sculpture was inspired by the art of Sol LeWitt, and based on visual beauty, and the golden section. In 2010 the work had to be dismantled because the property was sold. At the moment it is in storage waiting for the opportunity arises to be re-erected.
The Cube celebrates the link between art and science, and between artificial concepts and the beauty of nature.
A brochure about the opportunity for either the local or regional communities or businesses, or galleries overseas to include this art work in their collection, will be published in June 2016. both as PDF online and in print.
The making of The Braintrotter Cube, first stages
3. The constellation.
A 'scale model' of The Constellation – measuring only 20 meters – was installed on Tamborine Mountain at a scale of 1 meter to 25 light years. The 'real' object (scale 1 metre to 10 light years) was built as well, but had to be dismantled due to the sale of the property.
The art works shows the Southern Cross and two pointers depicted by spheres with solar powered 'faint' lights inside; the objects are spacially positioned exactly as they are in the universe. The 10 lights have different sizes, varying from 5 to 700 mm diameter. The lights seem to be completely randomly places, but only from one very view point (a small hole in apole depicting the earth), the viewer sees the the stars as they appear in the night sky: the five stars of the Southern Cross and the two pointers (Alpha and Beta Centauri). More than that: they all appear to have the same size from the viewing point.
The work gives an impression of the distances between these stars in the universe, and clearly shows that constellations are nothing but manmade concepts without existance in reality.
The art work was ready for display at the art centre in Beaudesert, but it was cancelled at the last minute because of liability issues: the power supply was a 'fire risk'. It was provisionally installed in my backyeard at a size of 20 meters in working condition (and it worked very well!) and – without working lights – at its final version: an installation of just over 50 meters.
This art work will finally find its home; the costs are limited, the design is ready to go. It just requires space: 50 metres at least.
4. DVD Braintrotter on the wallaby
In 2006 I took a scale model of the Cube (600x600x600 mm) on a 4 months trip through Outback Australia. The whereabouts of this mini-cube are presented in this 15 minutes DVD. The music is played by Abrew Langford, didgeridoo player in Alice Springs. The DVD was included in the openings exhibition of The Centre in Beaudesert, and in an exhibition at the Gold Coast Art Gallery.
Chapter 1 of Braintrotter on the wallaby: the introduction
Chapter 2 of Braintrotter on the wallaby: the 'movie'
5. Wake Up Time
|After travelling for three years through Central Australia I wrote a book about the subhuman conditions in the remote Aboriginal Communities. Thorough investigation of many annual reports and other documents gave an insight in the causes of these problems, and also lead to possible solutions. Wake Up Time is for sale on www.wakeuptime.com.au
6. Em-brace
|Em-brace will be a collection of photos of ordinary people from all over the world embracing inflatable animals. Because of Climate Change and other environmental threats we need to brace for a bad future, and the best way to do that is by embracing the beauty we have got: wildlife. The inflatable aspect depict the risk that we might in time have nothing left but inflatable versions of animals.
7. Green Island in the Sky
This book will be published in October 2016. More information will be published if and when available.
8. Repower Scenic Rim
An idea, not even a concept, let alone a project. A good way to make money though.

Technical facts
The table below provides an overview of the spacecraft platform and the ground segment.
Lunar transfer
The spacecraft of approximately 265 kg mass (incl. 93 kg propellant) and a size of 120 x 110 x 100 cm was designed to be launched as a secondary or auxiliary payload into geostationary transfer orbit.
From there, the spacecraft would use its on-board propulsion to travel to lunar orbit via a weak stability boundary transfer. This travel via the Sun-Earth L1 Lagrange point takes three months, but it requires much less propellant than a direct transfer.
Lunar orbit
The present mission design inserts the spacecraft into an initial lunar operational orbit of:
- periapsis altitude: 280 km
- apoapsis altitude: 16400 km
- inclination: 56°
Payloads being studied are:
Narrow Angle Camera (outreach payload): to take images of the lunar surface. High school students will be able to propose a lunar site to be imaged.
LunaNet (technology demonstration payload): internet-like network at the Moon for communication between future spacecraft in lunar orbit, landers, rovers and ground stations on the Earth. The LunaNet experiment will test the associated communication protocols for the Lunar Internet.
Radiation Monitor (scientific payload): a compact and low power radiation monitor which can provide inputs for Space environment models.
Radar (scientific payload): to provide radar observations of the Moon. (radar observations from Earth are limited to the Earth-facing side of the Moon).
- Microwave Radiometric Sounder (scientific payload): a passive microwave radiometer to measure thermal and dielectric properties of the lunar regolith.

Warningsigns are going up in the countryside as part of a crackdown against harecoursing in Suffolk.
Thesigns urge the public to call the police immediately if they see hare coursingtaking place. They have been funded by the NFU, CLA and the NFUs Stowmarket& Sudbury group office.
Initially,1,000 signs are being distributed to farmers and landowners across the countyto coincide with the peak period for coursing incidents. The police say that reportsof hare coursing have been increasing in recent years and in the period September2012 to March 2013, more than 300 incidents were reported in Suffolk.
NFUSuffolk County Adviser Rachel Carrington said: Hare coursing is a serious andon-going problem in the countryside so we welcome Suffolk Polices commitmentto tackle it.
Evidencefrom across the region shows that incidents can be dramatically reduced wherethere is concerted action by farmers, the police, prosecutors and magistrates.
Wehope the public will play their part as well, and call the police if they seecoursing in progress. Working together, we can send out a strong message tocoursers that they are not welcome in Suffolk and that hare coursing will notbe tolerated here.
CLAEastern Regional Director Nicola Currie said: Hare coursing is carried out bydangerous and violent criminals, and affects too many of our members. Coursersare hardened criminals who are engaged inillegal betting involving large sums of money, and prepared to useviolence if disturbed.
TheCLA wants these signs to help everyone to help our police stop this crime. Themessage is simple: take the vehicle registration number and call the policeimmediately. They will do the rest. People should not be reticent about calling999 if they suspect hare coursing is taking place.
RuralCrime Officer Mark Bryant visited farmer Patrick Hitchcock at his farm nearStowmarket to deliver some of the hare coursing signs.
PCBryant said: We hope these signs will encourage people to report incidents ofhare coursing so we can respond and deal with those engaged in this illegalactivity.
InSeptember Suffolk Police launched Operation Galileo, a pro-active campaignagainst hare coursing. Officers are carrying out patrols in areas identified aspotential targets for offenders and will be taking strong action against anyonefound to be hare coursing.
PCBryant said: We will seek to prosecute those who are responsible and thevehicles used in such activities will be seized by police and crushed.
Farmersand landowners can obtain the hare coursing signs from the NFU regional officeon 01638 672100 or the CLA East office on 01638 590429.

Electro Magnetic Fields (EMFs) :
The substantial advances in technology in the last two decades mean that we are now subject to several million times more Electro Magnetic Fields (EMFs) than our ancestors. Electromagnetic fields involve moving charges and have both an electric and magnetic field component.
There are many published studies and official reports which suggest that there is no doubt that EMF's can give measurable detrimental biological effects, notably to the immune, nervous and hormonal systems.
What are the Common Sources of EMF's?
- Main Electricity Supply, Light Switches and Wiring, Power Sockets and cabling.
- All electrical equipment and gadgets including hands free telephones, mobile phones, televisions, clock radios, mobile phone chargers, computers, microwave ovens and electric cookers and hobs.

If it's not one thing, it's another for the Medical Marijuana Enforcement Division. Last year, MMED was forced to make big staff cuts, and it went six months without appointment availability. Then, earlier this year, the division received a terrible grade from the state auditor. The report, "State Oversight of Colorado's Medical Marijuana Industry Ineffective," found MMED guilty of improper money-management techniques and more.
Still, MMED's latest issue may not be entirely its fault.
Specifically, a hardware failure affected the Governor's Office of Information Technology (OIT) and one of the Department of Revenues (DOR) licensing systems. The failure resulted in the deletion of MMJ licensee files from April 2012 to the present, as well as gaming licensee files from June 2012 to November 2012.
According to DOR Communications Director Daria Serna, the gaming division lost about 2,177 files, "but as far as medical marijuana is concerned, we are still working to identify what exact info within each file needs to be resubmitted."
So basically any license approved during this time is up in the air, at least for now.
"It is important that we don't cause any disruption." Serna says. "We do realize our first priority is to our licensees and we want to make this as easy as possible. We understand this is no fault of their own."
Only back-up information vanished, and Serna is optimistic that the file losses, at least on the MMJ side, will almost take care of themselves. Since MMJ applications must be renewed every year and most dispensaries will be applying to become recreational stores in October, they will be resubmitting this information soon, and missing records can be filled in.
"This [the loss of files] does not prevent DOR from conducting business, enforcing the law, or effectively regulating these industries," notes a press release from earlier this month. Likewise, it doesn't prevent licensees from doing business -- but those waiting for their application to be processed may be asked to fill out some information again for "record-keeping purposes."

This incident is similar to other recent MMED glitches. For example, the Denver Post reported that the division's computer database cannot do something as simple as differentiate between current and previous dispensary owners. Instead, a state employee must refer to the hard copy of documents that were filled out when dispensary owners applied for their license.
The DOR and OIT are working with an independent third party to assess the licensing systems "to ensure the integrity of those systems and prevent future loss of files, ensuring that the department can continue to service its customers and the citizens of Colorado."
Which means more money coming out of an already busted budget. Let's hope MMED can at least get one flaw sorted out in a timely manner.

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Paschal Donohoe, and the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise, and Innovation, Richard Bruton, have announced the ratification by Ireland of the Maritime Labour Convention, which sets standards for working and living conditions for seafarers.
From July 21 2015, Ireland will be a party to the convention and will implement its requirements, both for Irish-flagged ships and for international ships calling at Irish ports.
In the meantime, work is progressing on the inspection and certification of Irish ships in preparation for entry into force of the convention for Ireland, with declarations of maritime labour compliance being issued to all Irish-flagged vessels of 500 gross tonnage or more which operate internationally. Work is also under way on preparing for port State control inspections for foreign-flagged ships in Ireland when the convention enters into force here.
"I am delighted that Ireland has now ratified this convention, which underlines our commitment to maritime safety and to improved living and working conditions for seafarers," Minister Donohoe said. "Implementation of the convention will improve Ireland's international maritime reputation, as well as ensuring that seafarers enjoy better conditions, and that the shipping sector generally becomes a more secure and socially responsible sector."
Minister for Jobs, Enterprise, and Innovation Richard Bruton, whose Department has overall responsibility for International Labour Organization matters, also welcomed the ratification. "I am very happy to welcome the ratification of this important international labour standard," Minister Bruton said. "This convention will improve working and living conditions for workers on board ships and should lead to more secure, better-protected, and responsible maritime employment. Ireland is fully behind the ILO's efforts to define international labour standards in this important sector."

Exile (Banishment)
Exile (Banishment), a punishment which in former times could be applied to citizens if they tried to assert their religious independence and left the state churches. Thus the third article of the fourth Lateran Council of 1215 (Roman Catholic) obligated the temporal authorities to expel all subjects who had deviated from the Catholic faith.
During the Reformation this punishment was inflicted upon the Anabaptists in nearly all the Protestant countries, whereas death was the corresponding penalty in Catholic regions. The exiles were usually bound by oath not to return to the country; if they broke their oath, their return was considered a crime and was severely punished. Questions of faith were then no longer considered, and judgment followed on the basis of disobedience of the temporal authorities. Since the Anabaptists held the oath to be incompatible with the teachings of Jesus, and since they were aware of no criminal deed, they did not grant the state the right to banish them, referring to the verse of Scripture, "The earth is the Lord's" (Bossert, 315). The authorities, however, forcibly took them over the border if they refused to go voluntarily. Corporal punishment was not infrequently added to exile. In some countries they were whipped, in others branded on the cheek.
But in the neighboring country after their expulsion they were not safe either, for the authorities always notified these countries of the expulsion and demanded that they also banish the victim (Strickler, 336, 586). Hence if some returned to their homes, it was not always due to a fault of theirs.
Exile was the first penalty visited upon the Anabaptists, having been applied at Zürich in the very week of the inception of the movement. After Zwingli's first disputation with the advocates of adult baptism on 17 January 1525, the council of the city ordered all the nonresident Anabaptists to leave the canton. On 19 January the council issued a mandate making it compulsory to have all unbaptized infants baptized; "He who will not do this shall get out of the city, jurisdiction, and canton of my lords with wife and child, goods and possessions, or await what will happen to him." On 11 March 1525 it was decided that anyone who received adult baptism should be expelled with his family. Later on both Zürich and Bern confiscated the property of the exile. In Switzerland Mennonites continued to be banished on religious grounds until within the 18th century, particularly in the cantons of Bern and Zürich.
The history of Anabaptist banishment is particularly noteworthy in Bern where this punishment was applied even more rigorously than in Zürich. After the foreign Anabaptists had been expelled at the introduction of the Reformation into Bern (1527-1528), the council issued a mandate on 22 July 1531, ordering that Anabaptists should first be submerged under water and then ejected from the canton; if they returned they should be drowned. The mandate of 31 July repeated this order. Following the great disputation at Bern of 11-17 March 1538, the foreign Anabaptists were told that they were to leave the canton immediately. Native Anabaptists were told that they would be conducted over the border by the police and in case of return they were to be executed with the sword unless they recanted. This was the procedure followed during the next decades. Innumerable persons, regardless of sex or age, were thus driven from their homes. An official opinion of the clergy (1585) recommended that especially the leaders of the Anabaptists be banished from the country and sent to the galleys. Others who were not leaders, but obstinate persons, were to be expelled. In the mandate of 3 September 1585, it was accordingly ordered that the stiff-necked Anabaptists were to be taken to the border in chains. The mandate of 1597 added the threat of death in case of return and declared the property of exiled persons confiscate to the state (see Täufergut). The mandate of 26 December 1644 decreed that returning Anabaptists should be publicly whipped. Thus the Bernese government in the course of time tried various means of force to induce the Anabaptists to return "to the right way." When all these measures proved fruitless, and they still wanted at any cost to get rid of the "damned sect," the authorities proceeded to expel all the Anabaptists held in prison in the penitentiary. The exiles had to sign the following Verbannungs-Revers:
I, the undersigned, herewith confess that after I on account of my adopted aforesaid Anabaptist doctrine had been for a time detained by our high Christian government in their penitentiary or orphanage in Bern, and had been admonished on the subject to withdraw from the doctrine, but I can and will not desist from my assumed opinion ... I have fallen more and more into the punishment and disfavor of my high government in consideration of my adopted doctrine, which is exactly contrary to the government mandate. And that I now therefore am to avoid their city and canton and depart. Therefore I herewith vow and promise to accept such banishment from now on when I am to be conducted over the border, and avoid the city and canton and the borders altogether, and henceforth to have no contact by oral or secret or public communication with its citizens in any way, on the aforesaid doctrine. With this further declaration that I shall and will not in any form let myself be seen or enter into their lands and terriories, but if contrary to expectations, I do not keep this my promise but act contrary to it, it shall be regarded as if I had broken a properly sworn oath and that therefore a high government without further ado act in accord with the law and the content of the publicly read mandate, and as it is customary to judge such persons by law, shall I the false teacher be judged, by virtue of this letter, which I herewith in this matter sign with my own hand.
On 20 January 1663 the chancellery of Bern announced that most of the banished Anabaptists were again at home. A mandate of 8 September 1670 ordered the expulsion to begin again, "to clear these intolerable people out of the land." Those who returned should be branded with a hot iron. The ejection of the Swiss Brethren is one of the most inglorious chapters in the history of the Bernese state.
In Protestant Germany banishment was early used against the Anabaptists. In Saxony the Protestant pastors engaged in the general church inspection in 1527 were directed to warn "all those who held to an error in faith, whether on the sacrament of the body and blood of Christ, baptism," or any other doctrine, to leave the country at once; if they returned they would be severely punished. If laymen refused to desist from their error they should be ordered to sell their possessions and leave the country within a certain time (Sehling, 142 ff.). Banishment was also applied in Hesse, and in the imperial cities of Strasbourg, Augsburg, Nürnberg, Lindau, and others.
In Württemberg the theologians, in the opinion they drew up on the penalizing of the Anabaptists at the request of Duke Ulrich upon his return in 1535, reported that the "fine appearance of the life" of the Anabaptists caused many members of the church to join them. These poor people would not do this out of malice, but out of pure simplicity of mind and the good zeal which they have to God; on the other hand they see "with us and the great multitude of ours unfortunately very wild, bold, and wicked living." One should have patience with the Anabaptists and not inflict the death penalty on them. The dangerous leaders should not be expelled into other countries, for they would thus spread their doctrines into neighboring regions, but be kept in prison on meager fare, which "might serve to their correction and conversion by the grace of God." But other Anabaptists, who are not so skillful "in seducing," should if admonition, prison, and public humiliation do not avail, be banished (Bossert, 53 f.). The duke issued orders to confiscate the property of all unmarried Anabaptist exiles. He who is banished without oath and returns shall receive either corporal or capital punishment; he who is banished under oath, shall receive both corporal and capital punishment (Bossert, 60). But capital punishment was never inflicted. When the councilors explained that banishing the Anabaptists from one country to another merely spread their doctrine, Duke Ulrich gave the order on 15 December 1544 to have the preachers instruct the prisoners and persuade them to recant; at the next diet he would suggest a conference to decide "how to deal with such wrong and stubborn people" (Bossert, 101). His successor, Duke Christoph, also issued a mandate on 25 June 1558 ordering the proscription of dissenters (Bossert, 171). In 1614 an Anabaptist from Dettingen was refused permission to stay in the country unless he "abstained from his error" (Bossert, 854).
Under Catholic jurisdiction exile was the exception. In the Palatinate it was adopted after executions had reached their height (Beck, Geschichtsbücher, 32). In Bohemia the estates raised a protest against the execution of Anabaptists in 1529, in effect calling for other punishments such as exile.
In Moravia the Landtag at Znaim consented to the banishment of Anabaptists in 1535. A large number of fugitives were captured in neighboring lands, especially in the bishopric of Passau. The repeated demands of Ferdinand that the Moravian estates expel them (in 1540, 1546, and 1550) indicate that numerous Anabaptists were still being protected by the more benevolent barons or hiding in subterranean passages (see Lochy). Martial developments occupied the king's attention, pushing the persecution of Anabaptists into the background. Later it revived. In 1563, when Ferdinand sent his son Maximilian to Moravia, the estates requested Maximilian to influence his father to permit the Anabaptists to stay, in view of the labor shortage, since there were among them "neat and artistic craftsmen in all fields," who had done not a little work in Moravia. Maximilian answered evasively, but did nothing against the Anabaptists. But when he assumed the government, and Pope Pius V threatened to depose him if he permitted Protestantism free exercise of religion, he ordered the expulsion of the Hutterites by the end of the year at the Landtag in Brno in 1567; if they returned they faced death. The estates protested that exile was impossible, for the Anabaptists "would not want to leave. And they would not know whither to go; they would rather be killed than expelled." In reply to the request of the estates that the king inform them what steps to take if the Hutterites refused to go, the king said he would consider the problem. But there was no further word, nor did the problem come up for discussion at any future Landtag (Hruby, 21 ff.).
When in a humaner era the death penalty for deviation of religious ideas was no longer possible, it was gradually replaced by exile, which was in its turn gradually abandoned too. In France a mandate of Louis XIV, 13 August 1712, decreed that Mennonites must leave the country, but it was only partially enforced. The last major exile of Anabaptists on religious grounds was the expulsion of the Hutterian Brethren from Transylvania when police conducted them to the Polish border and left them to their fate in the mountains, under penalty of death if they returned, because they had refused to become Catholic (see Kuhr, Joseph). However, as late as 1780, Bishop Johannes Nafziger of Essingen in the Palatinate was sentenced to be exiled from the Palatinate because he had baptized two former Amish Mennonite orphan girls who had been reared in a Catholic orphanage.
In the Netherlands there were during the rise of Anabaptism (about 1532) a few cases where Anabaptists were banned from a city. In 1535-1550, those were usually banished who attended Anabaptist meetings, but confessed that they had not been re-baptized, and did not agree with the Anabaptist principles. After persecution was over and the Reformed Church established, there were only a few individual cases of exile; for example, Hans de Ries, who was banished from Middelburg in 1578; Uco Walles, who had to leave the province of Groningen in 1637, and Foecke Floris, who in 1683 was banished from the province of Friesland.
