* There is yet one place of shelter, Where the foeman cannot come, Where the summons never sounded Of the trumpet or the drum. There again we'll meet our children, Who, on Flodden's trampled sod, For their king and for their country Rendered up their souls to God. There shall we find rest and refuge, With our dear departed brave; And the ashes of the city Be our universal grave!

The Temple is dedicated to Lord Sri Venkateswara, an incarnation of Vishnu, who is believed to have appeared here to save mankind from trials and troubles of Kali Yuga. Hence the place has also got the name Kaliyuga Vaikuntham and the Lord here is referred to as Kaliyuga Prathyaksha Daivam. The temple is also known by other names like Tirumala Temple, Tirupati Temple, Tirupati Balaji Temple. Lord Venkateswara is known by many other names: Balaji, Govinda, and Srinivasa.

## Quotes

* Early Indian visitors to the Taj, who came either as pilgrims or sightseers, were far outnumbered by those going elsewhere. And this continues. Today it is seen by two million Indians per year. The Tirupati temple in southern India, meanwhile welcomes nearly twelve million pilgrims per year. Yet it is the Taj that is recognized as the symbol of India.
** Giles Tillotson in: Taj Mahal, Profile Books, 1 October 2010
* A religious minority is a law unto itself. The institutions run by it enjoy protection both from their staff as well as from the Government. Their properties are safe and their management secure from Government intervention, very unlike institutions run by Hindus which enjoy no such protection and which are subject to all kinds of interference from a Government which takes pride in being ‘secular’, and which has developed aversion of secularity informed by anti-Hindu animus. The Indian Express reports ( 28/29 January, ’86 ) that the famous temple of Lord Venkateswara at Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh has been ordered to pay rupees twenty crores as tax on the “sales” of prasadam since 1975! The Aurangzebi spirit is very much alive. Favoured treatment and discriminatory taxes have been used by Governments in the past to promote particular culture-groups and destroy others.
** Ram Swarup, Ramakrishna Mission. (1986). Ramakrishna Mission: In search of a new identity.
* According to Knapp, the Tirumala Tirupati temple (where the Hindus have nonetheless scored a victory over Christian demands to the right of missioning on the Tirupati premises) collects over Rs. 3,100 crores every year and the State Government has not denied the charge that as much as 85 per cent of this is transferred to the State Exchequer, much of which goes to causes that are not connected with the Hindu community. ... State after sate, it is found that the majority of temple funds is used for other Government projects including the upkeep of Christian and Islamic institutions. ... The only way the Government can continue to do this is because the Hindu people have not stood up to resist it.

## Quotes

* It is only logical for the translator to become a part of the world of the author.
** As quoted in "From Bach to Kafka, or... about temptation - An interview by Emil Bassat" in Sofia News (30 May 1984).
* However, there is one great temptation and that is that you can forget that the aim of the writer was to reject all other worlds and to construct one of his own and that the aim of the translator is to re-embody himself into the world of the various writers.
** As quoted in "From Bach to Kafka, or... about temptation - An interview by Emil Bassat" in Sofia News (30 May 1984).
* The greatest pleasure in translating is precisely this feeling of spiritual closeness and spiritual merging with the translated author. Moreover this spiritual relation is different with every writer.
** As quoted in "From Bach to Kafka, or... about temptation - An interview by Emil Bassat" in Sofia News (30 May 1984).
* The translator constantly learns new things about himself.

## Dialogue

    Daphne: Hello, Bloom.
    Bloom: Hello, big, sis. Nice entrance. Impressive.
    Daphne: Did I scare you?
    Bloom: Well of course you did. Without you, life here at the palace would be so boring.
    Daphne: What were you running from, little sis?
    Bloom: everybody here just bosses me around.
    Daphne: Mom and Dad, too?
    Bloom: No, not them. They're fantastic. It's just, the rules, the fifty-six, dresses, the fish that's good for your skin.
    Daphne: And your hair.
    Bloom and Daphne: It makes princesses even more beautiful.
    Sky: Father, I have the most wonderful news.
    Erendnor: A king's happiness is the happiness of his kingdom.
    Sky: Bloom and I are getting married!
    Erendor: What!? It's out of the question! You- you mustn't!
    Sky: What are you talking about?! We love each other!
    Erendor: Forget about love! You will not marry Oritel's daughter! Don't ask me why, just promise you will not marry her!
    Sky: But this is crazy! What are you hiding from me!?
    Erendor: The truth is a cruse I never wanted to burden you with.
    Sky: What curse?! And what does Bloom have to do with all this?!
    Erendor: It's here, Sky. It's all in here. I've never confessed this to anyone. Out of fear, I betrayed a dear friend and desecrated an entire city. The world of Sparx suffered a terrible injustice and it was all because of me. The only way of redemption is by not marrying the princess and hoping that she'll forget you. What was done can never be forgiven.
    Belladonna: Oritel. Did you miss us? It's time we take you back!
    Oritel: It's because of you my daughter Daphne is dead, and my kingdom was destroyed! Now you'll pay!

# Revolutions of 1848

The revolutions of 1848, known in some countries as the springtime of the peoples or the springtime of nations, were a series of revolutions throughout Europe over the course of more than one year, from 1848 to 1849. It remains the most widespread revolutionary wave in European history to date. The revolutions were essentially democratic and liberal in nature, with the aim of removing the old monarchical structures and creating independent nation-states, as envisioned by romantic nationalism.

## Quotes

* It is not by speeches and majority resolutions that the great questions of the time are decided – that was the big mistake of 1848 and 1849 – but by iron and blood.
** Otto von Bismarck, speech at a meeting of the budget commission of the Prussian Parliament (30 September 1862), quoted in 'Excerpt from Bismarck's "Blood and Iron" Speech (1862)', German History in Documents and Images
* Most of what the men of 1848 fought for was brought about within a quarter of a century, and the men who accomplished it were most of them specific enemies of the 1848 movement. Thiers ushered in a third French Republic, Bismarck united Germany, and Cavour, Italy. Deák won autonomy for Hungary within a dual monarchy; a Russian czar freed the serfs; and the British manufacturing classes moved toward the freedoms of the People's Charter.
** Priscilla Robertson, Revolutions of 1848: A Social History (1952; 1967), p. 412
* 1848 was the decisive year of German, and so of European, history: it recapitulated Germany's past and anticipated Germany's future. Echoes of the Holy Roman Empire merged into a prelude of the Nazi "New Order"; the doctrines of Rousseau and the doctrines of Marx, the shade of Luther and the shadow of Hitler, jostled each other in bewildering succession. Never has there been a revolution so inspired by a limitless faith in the power of ideas; never has a revolution so discredited the power of ideas in its result. The success of the revolution discredited conservative ideas; the failure of the revolution discredited liberal ideas. After it, nothing remained but the idea of Force, and this idea stood at the helm of German history from then on. For the first time since 1521, the German people stepped on to the centre of the German stage only to miss their cues once more. German history reached its turning-point and failed to turn. This was the fateful essence of 1848.
** A. J. P. Taylor, The Course of German History (1945), p. 68
* The peasants of central Europe also had their social discontents, particularly in Austria where they still lived under the restrictions of a decaying feudalism. The emancipation of the Austrian peasants was one of the few positive and lasting achievements of the revolution.
** A. J. P. Taylor, Revolutions and Revolutionaries (1981), p. 95
* Nationalism was the great common factor in the central European revolutions of 1848. Indeed it was a spirit never to be exorcised thereafter.

Peter John Hilton (7 April 1923 – 6 November 2010) was a British mathematician, noted for his contributions to homotopy theory and for his participation in the WW II code-breaking project started by the famous 1941 Action This Day memorandum.

## Quotes

* I would have wished that I could write in some detail of the nature of our work in those wonderfully exciting days. For we were regularly reading the highest grade cipher messages passing between the German High Command and a the senior echelons of the German army, the German navy (including the U-boat fleet) and the Luftwaffe; moreover, we were reading those messages within a few hours of their original transmission. We were thus able to provide as perfect and complete picture of the enemy's plans and dispositions as any nation at war has ever had at its disposal — not lightly did Churchill described our work as his "secret weapon," far more potent than anything Werner von Braun could deploy against us. Unfortunately, the British government currently is behaving in a remarkably paranoid fashion with respect to the revelations of "secrets" by those who at some time (as, of course, I had to do) taken an oath of confidentiality.

## Quotes about Peter Hilton

* I also attended his eightieth birthday celebration in Binghamton, New York, in 2003. Peter gave a wonderful polished talk about his experiences at Bletchley Park in World War II, which was informative and moving and made a political point. I noticed that he frequently paused to refer to a very small sheaf of notes in his hand. He left the papers on the rostrum after the talk, and out of curiosity I took a look. They were blank! It was a stage prop.

* The real numbers are the dependable breadwinner of the family, the complete ordered field we all rely on. The complex numbers are a slightly flashier but still respectable younger brother: not ordered, but algebraically complete. The quaternions, being noncommutative, are the eccentric cousin who is shunned at important family gatherings. But the octonions are the crazy old uncle nobody lets out of the attic: they are nonassociative.
** (2002). "The octonions". Bull. Amer. Math. Soc. 39: 145–205. (p. 145)
* Besides their possible role in physics, the octonions are important because they tie together some algebraic structures that otherwise appear as isolated and inexplicable exceptions.

* The most popular approach to quantum gravity is string theory. Despite decades of hard work by many very smart people, it's far from clear that this theory is successful. It's made no predictions that have been confirmed by experiment. In fact, it's made few predictions that we have any hope of testing anytime soon! Finding certain sorts of particles at the big new particle accelerator near Geneva would count as partial confirmation, but string theory says very little about the details of what we should expect. In fact, thanks to the vast "landscape" of string theory models that researchers are uncovering, it keeps getting harder to squeeze specific predictions out of this theory.
** (2008). "Should I be thinking about quantum gravity? (essay at the World Question Center)". edge.org.
* Quantum theory may be formulated using Hilbert spaces over any of the three associative normed division algebras: the real numbers, the complex numbers and the quaternions. Indeed, these three choices appear naturally in a number of axiomatic approaches. However, there are internal problems with real or quaternionic quantum theory. Here we argue that these problems can be resolved if we treat real, complex and quaternionic quantum theory as part of a unified structure. Dyson called this structure the "three-fold way". ... This three-fold classification sheds light on the physics of time reversal symmetry, and it already plays an important role in particle physics.

# 19th-century philosophy

19th-century philosophy is philosophy in the 19th century. In the 19th century the philosophies of the Enlightenment began to have a dramatic effect, the landmark works of philosophers such as Immanuel Kant and Jean-Jacques Rousseau influencing new generations of thinkers.

## Quotes

* The nineteenth century is perhaps most notable for an intellectual pluralism and a conflict of ideas to a degree never before witnessed. The philosophy of the Enlightenment, which emerged during the seventeenth century and reached its apogee in the eighteenth century, advocated the vigorous unrestricted application of argument and the studious appeal to evidence. It did not, in the nineteenth century, throw up one clear set of rationally based conclusions as to the nature of reality, knowledge, values and the best social order, as one might suppose it would given the ideals of argument and evidence.
