# South Sea Company

The South Sea Company was a British joint-stock company founded in 1711 as a public-private partnership. The Company's headquarters were located on Threadneedle Street in the City of London. The stock price crashed disastrously in 1720. The company continued unsuccessfully until 1853 when all of the existing South Sea Company's existing annuities were either redeemed or converted into stock owned by the British government.

## Quotes

* The South Sea Company survived for many decades after the catastrophe which threatened its very existence. Its efforts to establish itself as a trading company were, however, singularly unfortunate. For the Greenland Whale Fishery fitted out in 1728 fitted out twenty-three ships, which returned with only the blubber and fins of eighteen whales.
** Lewis Saul Benjamin: The South Sea Bubble. London: D. O'Connor. 1921. p. 256.
* The South-Sea Company was originated by the celebrated Harley Earl of Oxford, in the year 1711, with the view of restoring public credit, which had suffered by the dismissal of the Whig ministry, and of providing for the discharge of the army and navy debentures, and other parts of the floating debt, amounting to nearly ten millions sterling. ... Even at this early period of its history the most visionary ideas were formed by the company and the public of the immense riches of the eastern coast of South America. Every body had heard of the gold and silver mines of Peru and Mexico; every one believed them to be inexhaustible, and that it was only necessary to send the manufactures of England to the coast to be repaid a hundredfold in gold and silver ingots by the natives.
** Charles Mackay: Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds. vol. 1 of 2. London: Office of National Illustrated Library. 1852. pp. 45–46. (originally published in 1841)
* When the South Sea Bubble burst, a passionate member of the British Parliament called for the application of the Lex Pompeia on Parricides to those who had defrauded the nation. Just as the Romans, he argued, face to face with a monstrous and unprecedented crime, devised for it a monstrous and unprecedented punishment, so the British were invited to tie the directors of the South Sea Company into sacks with a dog, a cock, a viper and an ape in each, and sink them in the Thames.

## Dialogue

    Lt. Armando Harris: Victor Vasquez: Two prior arrests and he's been out for about a year on parole.
    Sgt. Frank Stone: And this guy Ryan Bertrand?
    Lt. Armando Harris: Hell, this kid lives with his daddy and his mommy up in Del Mar of all places.
    Sgt. Frank Stone: This kid is just an ungrateful sociopath.
    Johannes Koppel: I would strongly advise against taking those.
    Lt. Armando Harris: It's safe to say they've made a few mistakes. Those mistakes are going to allow us to bring this case to a successful conclusion.
    Ryan Bertrand: I have it all figured out, I have the resources, all our ducks are in a row, all we need is someone like you on our team.
    Victor Vasquez: What about security? Cops?
    Ryan Bertrand: Vic, it's not like the old days, c'mon. There's going to be no cops out there. They've taken huge budget cuts recently. Besides all the cops are worried about catching those terrorist groups out there, it'll be fine. It's foolproof!
    Ryan Bertrand: So what kind of job are you looking for, Vic?
    Victor Vasquez: I can do just about anything.
    Ryan Bertrand: And you're applying to work in a kitchen as a dishwasher?

## Quotes

* Why westerns get segregated into a genre in Hollywood, I don't know... It's just good entertainment.
** Interview with American Western Magazine (January 2001).
* Blow me a raspberry.
** At the audience of The Chevy Chase Show in 1993 during the presentation of his Worst Supporting Actor 'Razzie' award statuette for his performance as King Ferdinand of Spain in Christopher Columbus: The Discovery.
* I was planning to go into architecture. But when I arrived [to sign up for courses], architecture was filled up. Acting was right next to it. So I signed up for acting instead.
** Televised interview broadcast the day before Laguna Heat was shown on cable TV.
* All I see is people out there who are hungry for more.
** Talking about the public's desire to see more Western films, in interview with Taylor Fogarty of American Western Magazine/ReadTheWest.com (January 2003).
* You know, I understand how you feel. This is a really contentious issue. Probably as contentious, and potentially as troubling as the abortion issue in this country. All I can tell you is, rushes to pass legislation at a time of national crisis or mourning, I don't really think are proper. And more importantly, nothing in any of this legislation would have done anything to prevent that awful tragedy in Littleton.What I see in the work I've done with kids is, is troubling direction in our culture. And where I see consensus, which is I think we ought to concentrate on in our culture is... look... nobody argues anymore whether they're Conservatives or Liberal whether our society is going in the wrong direction. They may argue trying to quantify how far it's gone wrong or why it's gone that far wrong, whether it's guns, or television, or the Internet, or whatever. But there's consensus saying that something's happened. Guns were much more accessible 40 years ago. A kid could walk into a pawn shop or a hardware store and buy a high-capacity magazine weapon that could kill a lot of people and they didn't do it.The question we should be asking is... look... suicide is a tragedy. And it's a horrible thing. But 30 or 40 years ago, particularly men, and even young men, when they were suicidal, they went, and unfortunately, blew their brains out. In today's world, someone who is suicidal sits home, nurses their grievance, develops a rage, and is just a suicidal but they take 20 people with them. There's something changed in our culture.

## Quotes

* Thousands of people, young and old, had been torn from their loved ones during the Nazi occupation and never knew what had become of them -- in the ghettos, the deportations, the death camps, the forests. In Israel, they found one another purely by chance, or through advertisements in the papers or with the aid of the heartrending radio program Who Recognizes, Who Knows? "Aryeh Kantrowitz, now in Kibbutz Hazorea, is looking for his mother Fanya, nee Margolin," the announcements would run. "Bluma Langer, nee Wasserstein, formerly of Kovno, now in the immigrant hostel in Raanana, is looking for her husband, Aharon Langer. Leah Koren of Lublin, now in Israel, is looking for her sister Sheina Friedman, nee Koren." All were recent immigrants on the threshold of a new life.

## Quotes
### The Basics

* Every time we design a system, we have to minimise the potential harm. Look at the code that you write, look at the systems you design, and think: How could this be abused? How could this fall apart? What are the failure states here? If you were a bad actor, if you wanted to use this maliciously, how would you go about it? Think about how you’d attack your own systems, explore those failure states, deliberately screw things up and see how your code copes. Because if you don't, someone else will.
* Every bit of freedom that a designer has for creativity and good is also freedom for abuse. That’s true not just on the web, but in every single aspect of the online world.

# Wednesday

Wednesday is the day of the week following Tuesday and before Thursday. According to international standard ISO 8601 adopted in most western countries it is the third day of the week. In countries that use the Sunday-first convention Wednesday is defined as the fourth day of the week. It is the fourth day of the week in the Judeo-Christian calendar as well, and was defined so in the ancient Mesopotamian and biblical calendars. The name is derived from Old English Wōdnesdæg and Middle English Wednesdei, "day of Woden", ultimately a calque of dies Mercurii "day of Mercury". Wednesday is in the middle of the common Western five-day workweek that starts on Monday and finishes on Friday.

## Quotes

* It's fine work. Monday burn Millay, Wednesday Whitman, Friday Faulkner, burn 'em to ashes, then burn the ashes. That's our official slogan.
** Guy Montag to Clarisse McClellan in "The Hearth and the Salamander," Pt. 1 of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 (1953), p. 6.
** In the 1966 François Truffaut film based on the book, Montag (Oskar Werner)'s line is:
*** What? Well, it's a job like any other. Good work, with lots of variety—Monday we burn Miller; Tuesday, Tolstoy; Wednesday, Walt Whitman; Friday, Faulkner; and Saturday and Sunday, Schopenhauer and Sartre. We burn them to ashes, and then burn the ashes—that's our official motto.
* It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or, you know, the world without shrimp.
** Anya in "Triangle," Buffy the Vampire Slayer (S5 E11, 9 January 2001).

* "a widower obligated to transform personal pain into social suffering ...for the sake of the society she lives in"
** (pg 123)
** It is for the spiritual and communal well-being of her community that she must consider any decisions that she takes. Because Ogwoma does not want to abide by any of the conditions set forth before her, other than that which is the yearning of her heart, she gets pregnant for her estranged lover (Uloko ) inviting herself to the wrath of society.
* "a human failure...fault or inadequacy like any of us".
** (pg 54)
** Their principal weakness is a self-centred and inconsiderate love "youthful exuberance" which leads to a violation of societal norms and in turn the consequences of their ignoble acts which are given rise by the circumstances around them (Parental intrusion and community action) as is the case in most African tragedy, one person's failure can wipe out an entire generation...

# Wallace Tripp

Wallace Whitney Tripp (June 26, 1940 – September 9, 2018) was an American illustrator, anthologist and author. He was known for creating anthropomorphic animal characters of emotional complexity and for his great visual and verbal humor. He was one of several illustrators of the Amelia Bedelia series of children's stories. He has illustrated over 40 books, including Marguerite, Go Wash Your Feet (1985), Wallace Tripp's Wurst Seller (1981), Casey at the Bat (1978) and A Great Big Ugly Man Came Up and Tied His Horse to Me (1973). Tripp also drew many greeting cards for the Pawprints line.

## Quotes

* The experienced illustrator subscribes to the principle of the application of the seat of the pants to the seat of the chair. Should inspiration whisk down your chimney, be at your table. The first ten thousand drawings are the hardest. Put another way, you have ten thousand bad drawings within and should expel them as quickly as possible.
** In "Voices of the Creators. Wallace Tripp" in Children's Books and Their Creators (1995) edited by Anita Silvey, p. 652
* Illustrators are word people who happen to draw. We work with one foot in a book, the other stuck in a paint pot. Our shoes are a disgrace.

# Raymond Allchin

Frank Raymond Allchin, FBA (9 July 1923 – 4 June 2010) was a British archaeologist and Indologist. He and his wife, Bridget Allchin, formed one of the most influential British partnerships in the post-Independence study of South Asian archaeology. Producing a large body of scholarship ranging from archaeological excavations, ethnoarchaeology as well as epigraphy and linguistics, the Allchins made their work and that of others accessible through a series of sole, joint and edited publications. Seminal works include The Birth of Indian Civilisation (1968), which was later superseded by their books The Rise of Indian Civilisation in India and Pakistan (1982) and The Archaeology of Early Historic South Asia (1995).

## Quotes

* Probably the first settlers arrived in the region around 1750–1600 BC and their numbers grew steadily during the following centuries. We would expect this early Vedic period to come to an end around 1500 BC and the first compilation of the Rigveda Sayhita, i.e. Majjals II–VII, to be made during the next two or three centuries.
** (1981: 344). quoted in Edwin Bryant, Laurie Patton - Indo-Aryan Controversy_ Evidence and Inference in Indian History-Routledge (2005) p 189
* Even respected archaeologists of the old school of thought, such as Raymond and Bridget Allchin, now admit that the arrival of Indo-Aryans in Northwest India is "scarcely attested in the archaeological record, presumably because their material culture and life-style were already virtually indistinguishable from those of the existing population."
** Attributed, in :
* Their [the Aryans] presence should therefore be in evidence archaeologically… But as yet it is scarcely attested in the archaeological record presumably because their material culture and lifestyle were already indistinguishable from those of the existing population.

** quoted in Kazanas, N. (2002). Indigenous Indo-Aryans and the Rigveda: Indo-Aryan migration debate. Journal of Indo-European Studies, 30(3-4), 275-334.

## About

* The Allchins, in their archeological capacity, have consistently emphasized the continuity that links the residues of the Indus civilization with those of the later classical India in the Ganges basin and further south. Furthermore, they repeatedly emphasized that archeology provides no clear evidence of any mass movement of peoples from Central Asia into northern India. So why do they continue to pay deference to the “racist” notions of nineteenth-century philologists in this way? (Incidentally, there is no “general agreement that the Indo- Iranian languages . . . were originally spoken in the steppes of Eurasia”)
