# Medvedev's speech in the World Economic Forum (2007)

I believe democracy doesn't need any additional definitions, because humankind knows what democracy is and is able to distinguish real political democracy and the use of this word for hiding existing problems. So I think that when the concept of democracy is added to other adjectives it makes some analysts and commentators think it's more of a surrogate democracy. Despite my confidence in the existence of real democracy in Russia, to my mind this play on words doesn't really mean much. What matters is the real political situation in the country.
We aren’t trying to push anyone to love Russia, but we won't allow anyone to hurt Russia. We'll strive to win respect both for the citizens of Russia and for the country as a whole. Moreover, this shall be achieved not by using force but rather by our own behaviour and by our achievements.
In the 21st century we see Russia as a developed country with strong economy and as a reliable trade and political partner. It's very important because it lets us build international relations on a long-term basis.
Being part of global economy, we have to accept rules that are already introduced in the world. This means there will no more free natural gas for anyone.
First Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland in January 2007.

# Meek spirit, who so early didst depart

Translation of Sonnet taken from Memoirs of the Life and Writings of Luis de Camoens, Vol. I (1820), by John Adamson, p. 94
Meek spirit, who so early didst depart, Thou art at rest in Heaven! I linger here, And feed the lonely anguish of my heart; Thinking of all that made existence dear. All lost! If in this happy world above Remembrance of this mortal life endure, Thou wilt not then forget the perfect love Which still thou see'st in me.—O spirit pure! And if the irremediable grief, The woe, which never hopes on earth relief, May merit aught of thee; prefer thy prayer To God, who took thee early to his rest, That it may please him soon amid the blest To summon me, dear maid! to meet thee there.

Lydia of "Manslaughter" is as captivating as she is hateful: not a type, surely, but a portrayal of the most stimulating as well as the most disturbing characteristics of the modern American girl of wealth. Mrs. Miller only occasionally allows her excellent sense of plot to draw her away from smart dialogue and faithful characterization. —The Bookman Recommends, Dec 1921 [Full review(s) on the Talk page]

MEMOIR OF FLEEMING JENKIN
[Author's Edition]
MEMOIR
OF
FLEEMING JENKIN
BY
ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON
NEW YORK
CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS
1899
PREFACE TO THE AMERICAN EDITION.
ON the death of Fleeming Jenkin, his family and friends determined to publish a selection of his various papers; by way of introduction, the following pages were drawn up; and the whole, forming two considerable volumes, has been issued in England. In the States, it has not been thought advisable to reproduce the whole; and the memoir appearing alone, shorn of that other matter which was at once its occasion and its justification, so large an account of a man so little known may seem to a stranger out of all proportion. But Jenkin was a man much more remarkable than the mere bulk or merit of his work approves him. It was in the world, in the commerce of friendship, by his brave attitude towards life, by his high moral value and unwearied intellectual effort, that he stuck the ​minds of his contemporaries. His was an individual figure, such as authors delight to draw, and all men to read of, in the pages of a novel. His was a face worth painting for its own sake. If the sitter shall not seem to have justified the portrait, if Jenkin, after his death, shall not continue to make new friends, the fault will be altogether mine.

Memphis v. United States
ERROR to the Circuit Court of the United States for the Western District of Tennessee.
The facts involved in this case are the same as those in United States v. Memphis, supra, p. 284.
The city of Memphis, by whom this writ was sued out, assigns the following errors:--
The court below erred—
1. In holding that the city of Memphis had the power or was under the duty of levying the tax, as adjudged.
2. In holding that the legislature had no power to repeal the act of March 18, 1873.
3. In adjudging that the tax to be levied should be payable only in lawful money of the United States, as the act of March 18, 1873, required the city of Memphis to receive, in payment of the tax therein authorized, 'any sum or sums, with interest, paid by persons in satisfaction, or part satisfaction, of said special assessments, illegally levied and collected as aforesaid.'
4. In holding that a new and further tax be laid, sufficient to pay the entire decree, for $292,133.47, the return to the alternative writ disclosing that under a former mandate of the court the city had made a special levy of $302,742.69, for the purpose of paying the decree; that of said levy $132,742.69 had been collected and paid over, and the remainder, $170,000, was being collected and paid over as rapidly as possible.
5. In awarding the writ of mandamus commanding the levy of a tax sufficient in amount, after making due allowances for all delinquencies, insolvencies, and defaults, to pay the decree.
6. In awarding the peremptory writ of mandamus.
Mr. W. Y. C. Humes and Mr. S. P. Walker for the plaintiff in error.
Mr. William M. Randolph, contra.
MR. JUSTICE STRONG delivered the opinion of the court.

The
application for stay of execution of sentence of death, presented to Justice KENNEDY and by him referred to the Court, is denied. The petition for writ of certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit is denied.
Justice MARSHALL dissenting:
Adhering to my view that the death penalty is in all circumstances cruel and unusual punishment prohibited by the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments, Gregg v. Georgia, 428 U.S. 153, 231, 96 S.Ct. 2909, 2973, 49 L.Ed.2d 859 (1976), I would grant the application for stay of execution and the petition for a writ of certiorari and vacate the death sentence in this case.
Justice BLACKMUN would grant the application for stay and the petition for a writ of certiorari.

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
88 U.S. 98
McClelland v. United States
The exceptions taken by the defendant are all well taken. The central and controlling question in the case is the effect of the seizure of the property by the marshal, and its tender to the plaintiff. He sued out the writ. It went into the hands of the marshal by his procurement. He was the actor in causing its issuance and service. The marshal acted for him. He cannot be permitted to play fast and loose with the process he invoked. The marshal's possession was his possession. As soon as it was taken the efficacy of the bond touching the return of the property was at an end. The bond stipulated for the return of the property and nothing more in relation to it. We cannot interpolate what the contract does not contain. Our duty is to execute it as we find it, and not to make a new one.
The seizure and tender satisfied the judgment of return and the defendant's obligation. Neither could be revived by the plaintiff's refusal to receive the property. The refusal was of no legal consequence.
If the defendant injured the property, or culpably suffered it to become injured while it was in his possession, a remedy must be sought in some other appropriate proceeding. It cannot be had in a suit on the bond.
If no writ de retorno habendo had issued it would have been the duty of the defendant to seek the plaintiff and deliver the property to him if he would receive it. Had the defendant failed to do this, there would have been a breach of the bond and he would have been liable. The action taken by the plaintiff obviated the necessity of his doing anything in that way.
The judgment is REVERSED, and the case remanded with directions to issue a venire de novo, and proceed
IN CONFORMITY TO THIS OPINION.

# Liza of Lambeth

* information about this edition.
* sister projects: Wikipedia article, Wikidata item.
Liza of Lambeth (1897) was W. Somerset Maugham's first novel, which he wrote while working as a doctor at a hospital in Lambeth, then a working class district of London. It depicts the life of Liza Kemp, an 18-year-old factory worker who lives together with her aging mother in Vere Street (obviously fictional) off Westminster Bridge Road (real) in Lambeth. A lively, sociable young woman, Lisa is adored my all in the neighbourhood, but when she starts an affair with a married man she falls from grace in the eyes of those around. Her actions finally have and consequences she cannot control. All in all, it gives the reader an interesting insight into the everyday lives of working class Londoners at the turn of the century.

Memory
In the valley of Nis the accursed waning moon shines thinly, tearing a path for its light with feeble horns through the lethal foliage of a great upas-tree. And within the depths of the valley, where the light reaches not, move forms not meant to be beheld. Rank is the herbage on each slope, where evil vines and creeping plants crawl amidst the stones of ruined palaces, twining tightly about broken columns and strange monoliths, and heaving up marble pavements laid by forgotten hands. And in trees that grow gigantic in crumbling courtyards leap little apes, while in and out of deep treasure-vaults writhe poison serpents and scaly things without a name. Vast are the stones which sleep beneath coverlets of dank moss, and mighty were the walls from which they fell. For all time did their builders erect them, and in sooth they yet serve nobly, for beneath them the grey toad makes his habitation.
At the very bottom of the valley lies the river Than, whose waters are slimy and filled with weeds. From hidden springs it rises, and to subterranean grottoes it flows, so that the Daemon of the Valley knows not why its waters are red, nor whither they are bound.
The Genie that haunts the moonbeams spake to the Daemon of the Valley, saying, “I am old, and forget much. Tell me the deeds and aspect and name of them who built these things of Stone.” And the Daemon replied, “I am Memory, and am wise in lore of the past, but I too am old. These beings were like the waters of the river Than, not to be understood. Their deeds I recall not, for they were but of the moment. Their aspect I recall dimly, for it was like to that of the little apes in the trees. Their name I recall clearly, for it rhymed with that of the river. These beings of yesterday were called Man.”
So the Genie flew back to the thin horned moon, and the Daemon looked intently at a little ape in a tree that grew in a crumbling courtyard.

The past she ruleth. At her touch
 Its temple-valves unfold,
And from their gorgeous shrines descend
 The mighty men of old:
At her deep voice the dead reply,
 Dry bones are cloth'd and live,— Long perished garlands bloom anew,
 And buried joys revive.
When o'er the future, many a shade  Of saddening twilight steals, Or dimm'd present to the soul,  Its emptiness reveals, She opes her casket, and a cloud  Of cheering perfume streams, Till with a lifted heart we tread  The pleasant land of dreams.
Make friends of potent memory,
 Oh! young man in thy prime,
And with her jewels bright and rare,
 Enrich the board of Time;
Yet if thou mockest her with weeds,
 A trifler 'mid her bowers,
She'll send a poison through thy veins,
 In life's disastrous hours.
Make friends of potent Memory,
 Oh! maiden, in thy bloom,
And bind her to thine inmost heart,
 Before the days of gloom;
For sorrow softeneth into joy
 Beneath her wand sublime,
And she immortal robes can weave
 From the frail threads of Time.
Hartford.  L. H. S.
