Talk:Siege of Constantinople (626)

message: It's remarkable fact that the Sassanids never fought at this battle. 
It was only the Avars who were attacking.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by SassanidCataphract (talk • contribs) 05:34, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Sassanids?

message: I don't think this is explained very well.  The result of the various invasions was that the Avars were repulsed from the main coastal cities (including Constantinople and Thessaloniki), but for at least 300 years afterwards Slavs inhabited large areas of inland western Greece (including even parts of the Peloponnese in the 7th century).  For most of the 7th through 10th centuries, the Greek language was most solidly established in Anatolia, not Greece proper (see "Empires of the Word" by Nicholas Ostler)...

Talk:Spouse of the prime minister of Malaysia

message: The first lady of Malaysia is the Permaisuri, not the Prime Minister's wife...The true First lady is Her Majesty Seri Paduka Baginda Raja Permaisuri Agong.
:That is not true either. "First Lady" only refers to the wife of an elected head of government (i.e. a President). Malaysia is a monarchy. As such, the Permaisuri would more properly be referred to as the Queen Consort of the Agong. There is no such thing as a "First Lady" in monarchical countries. 203.82.94.22 (talk) 10:10, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

His parents were August Detlev Friis (von) Buchwald (1830-1906), owner of the estate Friisholt, and Johanne Marie Charlotte von Arenstorff (1847-1901), and her parents were Johannes Frederik von Arenstorff (1816-1873) and Anna Sophie Cathrine Elisabeth Juliane de Jermiin (1827-1900). Jermiin's parents were Thomas Just de Jermiin, owner of the estate Ausumgård (1786-1857), and Sophie Elisabeth Wolff (1795-1834). Her parents were Lars Peder Wolff and Christiane Marie Nielsen. Both Buchwald, Arenstorff, and Jermiin are Danish noble families.

Talk:Credit cycle

message: I think the "magic" of compound interest might also be at play.  Debts increase exponentially, while the ability to pay (actual economic growth) increase only arithmatically.  Eventually the shit hits the fan.  Debts that can't be paid, won't.
This was realized thousands of years ago in Mesopotamia where debts were erased periodically with the crowning of a new ruler, etc, culminating in the regularized biblical jubilee.  It was realized that if you don't want your population to be reduced to perpetual debt slavery, then the debt's have to be forgiven periodically and society returned to its proper state. This relief was made all the easier to implement due to the fact that most debts were owed to the temple or ruler, not to private individuals. This cycle continued for 3000 years.
When these institutions reached Rome, debt relief became increasingly difficult to implement because the debts were now mostly owed to private individuals who were not so ready to forgive them.  It is said that one of the reasons for the assasination of Julius Caesar was his attempted implementation of massive debt relief.

This strongly suggests to me that there was a background cultural awareness of what western science would call a "gaseous plant hormone" in the culture of Taiwan's population. this article could probably be expanded if someone has access to any material about how Shang Fa Yang's home nation's various cultures have influenced scientific pursuits.Zaphraud (talk) 00:24, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

These are preferably Interstates; on longer articles, the most major interstates (those ending in 0 or 5) should be the only ones mentioned."
