Peat, or turf, is an accumulation of partially decayed vegetation.
Peat forms in wetland bogs, moors, mires, and swamps.
Peat forms when plant material, usually in marshy areas, is inhibited from decaying fully by acidic and anaerobic conditions.
It is composed mainly of marshland vegetation: trees, grasses, fungi, as well as other types of organic remains, such as insects, and animal remains.
Under certain conditions, the decomposition of the latter (in the absence of oxygen) is inhibited.
Peat formed in very wet conditions accumulates faster, and is less decomposed, than that in drier places.
This allows climatologists to use peat as an indicator of climatic change.
The composition of peat can also be used to reconstruct ancient ecologies by examining the types and quantities of its organic constituents.
Under the proper conditions, peat is the earliest stage in the formation of coal.
The coal measures of the Pennsylvanian period were laid down in a gigantic tropical river basin, and later squeezed and heated to form the metamorphic rock we call 'coal'.
Most modern peat bogs formed in high latitudes after the retreat of the glaciers at the end of the last ice age some 9,000 years ago.
They usually grow slowly, at the rate of about a millimetre per year.
Peat is harvested as an important source of fuel in certain parts of the world.
By volume, there are about 4 trillion m³ of peat in the world covering a total of around 2% of global land area (about 3 million km²), containing about 8 billion terajoules of energy.
Peat is soft and easily compressed.
Under pressure, water in the peat is forced out.
Upon drying, peat can be used as a fuel.
It has industrial importance as a fuel in some countries, such as Ireland and Finland, where it is harvested on an industrial scale.
In many countries, including Ireland and Scotland, where trees are often scarce, peat is traditionally used for cooking and domestic heating.
Stacks of drying peat dug from the bogs can still be seen in some rural areas.
Peat fires are used to dry malted barley for use in Scotch whisky distillation.
This gives Scotch whisky its distinctive smoky flavour, often called "peatiness".
Although peat has many uses for humans, it also presents problems.
When dry, it can be a major fire hazard, as peat fires can burn almost indefinitely (or at least until the fuel is exhausted).
Peat fires can even burn underground, reigniting after the winter, provided there is a source of oxygen.
Peat deposits also pose major difficulties to builders of structures, roads, and railways, as they are highly compressible under even small loads.
When the West Highland Line was built across Rannoch Moor in western Scotland, its builders had to float the tracks on a mattress of tree roots, brushwood and thousands of tons of earth and ashes.
Civilization is a series of computer games made by Sid Meier.
In it, you make a virtual civilization going from thousands of years ago to the near future.
The game is played by doing certain things each turn.
You can move units or make them do stuff, build or change cities, and negotiate with other civilizations.
These civilizations are controlled by a computer.
You win by taking over other civilizations, building a spaceship, or getting the highest score.
At the beginning, you chose which civilization to play.
Each one has its own characteristics (something that makes it different from the others).
Cities are very important.
You need them to build buildings that improve the city, and units.
The units can attack other units, build more cities, and improve the land.
You can also research technologies.
Technologies allow you to do more things.
There are five main games in the series, called Civilization I-VI (1-6).
Some of them have expansion packs.
There is also Civilization Revolution, which is like Civilization 1-6, but it works on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, and iPhone.
The first version, Civilization, was released in 1991, and games have been released ever since.
Civilization has existed since 1989
These are the versions of the game.
They are in order from oldest to newest.
An unreliable narrator in literature, movie, or theatre,  is a narrator (storyteller) who cannot tell a story with a neutral point of view.
The term was made in 1961 by Wayne C. Booth in The Rhetoric of Fiction.
A narrator is a person who tells a story to an audience.
Narrators occur in face-to-face story-telling, and in literary works, movies, and plays.
They can be fictional, or they can be real people.
When the narrator is also a character within the story, he or she is sometimes known as the viewpoint character.
The narrator is one of three parts in any story-telling.
The others are the author and the audience; in literature, the latter is the reader.
The author and the audience both live in the real world.
It is the author's function to create the universe, people, and events within the story.
It is the audience's function to understand and interpret the story.
The narrator only exists within the world of the story and presents it in a way the audience can grasp.
In non-fiction the narrator and the author may be the same person, since the real world and the world of the story may be the same.

Salama Moussa (or Musa; 1887 – 4 August 1958) (  , ) was a notable Egyptian journalist and reformer in the 1920s.
He was born in Zagazig.
His family was Coptic Christian.
Moussa was interested in many areas of science and culture.
He strongly believed that human intelligence could create progress and a better life.
In 1908, he travelled to Europe and studied literature, philosophy, social and natural sciences.
He continued studying these subjects throughout his life.
Moussa belonged to a group of intellectuals who wanted to simplify Arabic and its grammar.
They wanted Egyptian Arabic to officially become the Modern Egyptian language.
His conservative opponents became angry with him.
Standard Arabic had not changed for generations.
Most Egyptian people could not read or write that Standard Arabic.
Therefore, Moussa and other thinkers said people should write in the common, local Arabic.
People still discuss making language simpler and more modern in Egypt.
Salama Moussa's writings continue to be popular.
Influence on other writers
Salama Moussa was a mentor of Naguib Mahfouz.
Mahfouz was an Egyptian Nobel prize-winner in literature.
Moussa told Mahfouz: "You have much talent, but your essays are no good."
After that, Mahfouz chose his topics more carefully.

The study of classical literature was traditionally the main focus of the humanities.
2006–2009: Debut album
Chase & Status have had three number one tracks on the UK Dance Chart in 2007 with the double A-side "Hurt You"/"Sell Me Your Soul", and in 2008 with "Take Me Away"/"Judgement (Informer)".
On 5 October 2008, they reached number 70 on the national singles chart and number one on the UK Dance Chart again with their single "Pieces" with vocals by Plan B. In 2009, they made number 45 with "Against All Odds" which had UK rapper Kano on vocals.
Chase & Status' first album, More Than Alot, debuted in the UK album charts at number 49 on 19 October 2008 and entered the UK dance album chart at number 2.
Their album More Than Alot received the Best Album Award at the 2009 Drum and Bass awards, Birmingham, UK.
2009–present: No More Idols
Following the success of their last album the band wanted to gain a more global success.
After meeting with a long time favourite of theirs, Cloud9, they decided to move in a different direction.
Together they agreed that the band should do more pop collaborations in order to achieve a more better fanbase.
Soon afterwards they quickly began working on the album.
On 8 November 2009, the duo entered the UK Top 40 for the first time with the track "End Credits".
The track was released on 2 November 2009 and featuring British musician Plan B managed to reach a peak of number 9 on the UK Singles Chart.
The single was written for the movie Harry Brown, which also starred Ben Drew, aka.
Plan B.
The duo then released "Let You Go" on 15 August 2010, revealing it to be the second official single to be released from their second studio album, named No More Idols according to posters outside their album launch show at the HMV Forum in Kentish Town on October 21.
The single had vocals from Mali and debuted on the UK Singles Chart at number 11; marking the duo's second Top 40 hit in a row. "
Hypest Hype" featuring Tempa T was confirmed in October 2010 to be the third single from the album and was released as a free download from their website on 8 November 2010; meaning it did not qualify to chart.
The fourth single from the album is the dubstep-flavoured Blind Faith, which features Nottingham-born soul singer/songwriter Liam Bailey was released on January 24, 2011.
The new album also contains a new single 'Heavy' with Dizzee Rascal.
ESC/P is a printer control language developed by Epson.
The language was popular with dot-matrix printers.
It uses escape codes, a command starts with the escape character.
As an example, ESC E will switch on bold, and ESC F will switch it off.
There are different versions of the protocol, which was also used by other printer manufacturers.
Today, ESC/P is rarely used any more; modern printers use page description languages like Postscript, PCL or PDF.
Shirred eggs (also known as baked eggs, or in ) are eggs cooked in a manner which results in a firm white but soft or runny yolk.
The name comes from the dish in which the eggs are cooked.
Variations involve replacing the butter with various types of cream.
Provence and Normandy have their own versions.
Boiled egg#Soft-boiled eggs
The Printer Command Language (often shortened to PCL) is a page description language, developed by Hewlett-Packard.
As of 2011, most modern printers understand PCL.
Its complexity is between pure ASCII text, such as in ESC-P, and for example Postscript.
There are different versions of the language.
Common versions:
PCL3, PCL3+: Can use raster description of fonts, grayscale, 300 dpi output maximum
PCL3c,PCL3c+: Supports color, in addition to PCL3/PCL3+
PCL3GUI: Allows compression of raster images, is not compatible with other PCL standards
PCL4: Macros, bigger bitmaps, introduction of graphics
PCL5: Supports graphics in HPGL/2, fonts can be resized
PCL5e: Supports bidirectional communication with the printer, supports the windows fonts
PCL5c: Color version of PCL5e, supports different color palettes, and the option to select different colors
PCL XL later renamed to PCL6 enhanced: Allows compression to increase throughput.
This is a stack-based object oriented programming language similar to Postscript
PCL 6 standard: Either PCL5e or PCL5c, for backwards compatibility
Jet Ready: Lowcost version of PCL XL.
Only supports JFIF images.
Allows to build printers without raster image processor, and without a lot of memory.
The Rasterization is done in the computer, the printer only "prints images".
Except where stated, PCL versions are downwards compatible.
A printer that supports PCL6 can also be programmed using PCL3, for example.
PCL is a very efficient way of coding.
For this reason, certain manufacturers build high-volume printers that support different versions of PCL.
Such printers can do more than 1000 pages per minute.
GDI is responsible for tasks such as drawing lines and curves, rendering fonts and handling palettes.
It is not directly responsible for drawing windows, menus, etc.;
that task is reserved for another subsystem built on top of GDI.
Other systems have components that are similar to GDI, for example Macintosh's QuickDraw and GNOME/GTK's GDK/Xlib.
Perhaps the most significant capability of GDI over more direct methods of accessing the hardware is its scaling capabilities, and abstraction of target devices.
Using GDI, it is very easy to draw on multiple devices, such as a screen and a printer, and expect proper reproduction in each case.
This capability is at the center of all What You See Is What You Get applications for Microsoft Windows.
Simple games that do not require fast graphics rendering use GDI.
However, GDI cannot animate properly as it has no notion of synchronizing with the framebuffer, and lacks rasterization for 3D. Modern games usually use DirectX or OpenGL instead, which give programmers the capabilities to use features of modern  hardware.
A ramekin or  is a small glazed ceramic or glass serving bowl used for preparating and serving various food dishes.
The word is from French (as ramequin), and before that Middle Dutch and Middle Low German.
Maratha, Santalaris and Aloda massacre (Turkish: Muratağa, Sandallar ve Atlılar katliamı) was a massacre of totally 126 Turkish Cypriots in the villages of Maratha (Muratağa), Santalaris (Sandallar) and Aloda (Atlılar) in Cyprus.
It happened on 14-16 August 1974.
The massacre was committed by EOKA-B.
89 (or 84) people were killed in Maratha and Santalaris.
Another 37 people were killed in Aloda.
Old people and children were also killed.
Only three people could escape from the massacre in Aloda.
A bulldozer buried people into mass graves.
People from Maratha and Santalaris were buried in the same grave.

Conodonts are an extinct class of the phylum Chordata.
They are now regarded as vertebrates, though the issue is still a live one.
For many years conodonts were known only from their feeding apparatus, which fossilises well.
This is because most of the conodont animal was soft-bodied, so everything but the teeth were not fossilised in normal circumstances.
It was not until early 1980s that the conodont teeth were found with trace fossils of the host organism.
It came from the Lower Carboniferous lagerstätte near Edinburgh, Scotland.
Conodont 'elements'
They are also used as palaeothermometers.
This is because under higher temperatures the phosphate undergoes colour changes, which are measured with the conodont alteration index.
This has made them useful for petroleum exploration in rocks dating from the Cambrian to the Upper Triassic.
Description of the animal
Eleven fossil imprints of conodont animals are known.
They depict an eel-like creature with 15 or, more rarely, 19 elements forming a bilaterally symmetrical array in the head.
This array was a feeding apparatus different from the jaws of modern animals.
There are three forms of teeth, coniform cones, ramiform bars, and pectiniform platforms, which may have performed different roles.
The organisms range from a centimeter or so to the giant Promissum, 40 cm in length.
It is now widely agreed that conodonts had large eyes, fins with fin rays, chevron-shaped muscles and a notochord.

Marie Temple Grandin (December 3, 1947) is an American animal scientist and autism activist.
She inspires many people.
She found similarities between animals and people with autism.
With these, she created stress-relieving methods.
She normalized autism and improved autism research.
She also improved livestock methods.
Grandin grew up in Boston with her parents Richard Grandin and Eustacia Cutler.
Her father was a real estate agent.
Her mother was a writer, singer, and actress.
She was born on August 29, 1947.
She was diagnosed with autism in 1950.
She first spoke at four.
She is an advocate for people with autism.
Because of her autism, Temple did not think in words, she thought in pictures.
In the early 1950s, most autistic children were discriminated against, but Grandin’s parents were very supportive of their daughter’s education.
They sent her to multiple private schools.
In Highschool, she created her first stress relieving device.
This machine is still used today.
In 1970, she graduated with honors and a Bachelor of Arts from Franklin Pierce College.
Grandin received a doctorate in animal science in 1989 from the University of Illinois.
After receiving her master’s degree in 1975, she created her own company, called Grandin Livestock Handling Systems.
She continued learning about animal cruelty through this company.
Grandin worked most of her life to help the cruel living conditions of livestock.
She worked on ways to prevent putting stress on animals before slaughter (when they are killed to be used for meat).
Considering Grandin was autistic, she noticed the similarities in the way animals and autistic people saw the world, which let her help the cause even more.
She’s been a professor for over 20 years.
She has taught animal science at Colorado State University since 1990.
Grandin wrote her first book with the help of Catherine Johnson.
After having lots of success with her first book, she had a three hour interview with Johnson.
Later that year, a movie was released about her life.
In that same year, Grandin was included in [[Time (magazine)|TIME'''s]] Top 100 Influential People.
Grandin also wrote a book with Richard Panek in 2013 called The Autistic Brain: Thinking across the Spectrum'', which was about differences found in the brains of those who are autistic.
Grandin also believed that vaccines can cause autism.
Because Grandin's achievements are so great, many parents of autistic children are inspired by her.
Her autism may have been difficult at times, but it has also given her unusual advantages.
During her career she has come up with humane conditions for the handling of animals.
Grandin is motivated by a wish to improve animal welfare by getting rid of unnecessary stress on domestic animals, particularly before and during slaughter.
She has won lots of awards.
The National Woman's Hall of Fame nominated her in 2017.
She has written books.
She had a Ted Talk about understanding autism.
Grandin is a professor of animal science at Colorado State University.
She has focused on animal well-being throughout her career.
She has been hired as a consultant to the meat industry (animal slaughtering).
Grandin recommends "well-designed upright or rotating restraining pens" to hold cattle in a comfortable position.
If this is done, 95 percent or more of the animals will stay calm.
She thinks from a cow’s perspective to come up with her ideas.
For example, she considers the animal’s sensitivity to light and slippery surfaces.
She has said that soft lighting and single-colored walls help calm the animals.
Also, she has said grooved floors are best, because cows are scared of slippery floors.

The Western Victorian Volcanic Plains in Victoria, Australia, also known as the Newer Volcanic Province, are the third largest volcanic plains in world.
The biggest is the Deccan Plateau in India and the Snake River Plateau in the USA.
The Western Victorian Volcanic Plains cover an area of 2.3 million hectares, more than 10% of the state.
The basalt plains were formed by volcanoes over the last 6 million years with the most recent eruption being at Mount Napier 7,200 years ago.
There are only a few rivers which flow across the plains, these are the Barwon, Hopkins, Leigh, Maribyrnong, Wannon and Werribee Rivers and the Mount Emu Creek.
More than 90% of the plains have been cleared for farming.
Over 400 volcano sites have been found on the plains.
Near Ballarat the volcanoes are quite close together.
The plains have built up over time with many small lava flows.
The average depth of the lava is about 60 metres.
Many of the features are stand out on the flat plains.
The Indigenous Australians must have seen some of the eruptions as they told stories about rocks and fires coming from some mountains.
Stone tools have been found buried in volcanic ash near Warrnambool.
Major Thomas Mitchell was the first European to describe the Western Volcanic Plains.
He climbed Mount Napier in 1836 and wrote that it looked as if the volcano had been active not that long ago.
Early settlers liked the plains as they could easily grow crops in the rich, fertile soil.
They used the volcanic stones to build dry stone walls around their farms.
The Western Victorian Volcanic Plains have been quiet for thousands of years.
There have been no earthquakes, no hot springs or other signs of activity.
It is not known why the volcanos stopped, and some scientists believe that the volcanos on the plains are not extinct, but dormant.

BellSouth Telecommunications is a service provider which serves the southern United States.
It formed as a result of the 1984 AT&T Bell System breakup.
BellSouth operates in nine states: Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, Georgia and Louisiana.
The Bell System telephone companies before BellSouth were South Central Bell and Southern Bell in these nine states.
BellSouth is currently under the ownership of AT&T.
Mayflies are insects which belong to the Order Ephemeroptera (from the Greek ephemeros = ephemeral, or short-lived; pteron = wing).
The name refers to the most distinctive features of the adults.
They are in an ancient group of insects, the Palaeoptera, ('Ancient wings') with dragonflies and damselflies.
Egg stage
At mating the female lays her eggs in the water.
They settle to the bottom where they stick to rocks, vegetation or the bottom of the stream.
They range in size by the particular species of Mayfly.
Depending on temperature, the eggs take from a few days to a year to develop: usually it is one to three months.
During this embryonic stage the mouth, legs, tail and organs all develop.
Larva (or nymph) stage
Mayfly are insects whose aquatic larvae (called naiads or nymphs) live from several months up to a year, in freshwater.
The naiads go through 20 or 30 moults as they develop.
Mayflies are unique in that they moult one more time after getting functional wings (this is known as the alate stage).
This second-to-last winged stage is usually very short, lasting from 30 minutes to one day, depending on the species.
The function of the adult imago is reproduction and dispersal; they do not eat.
The stage is a favorite food of many fish, and many 'fishing flies' are modeled on them.
The hatch
It often happens that all the mayflies in a population mature at once (called the hatch).
For a day or two in the Spring or Autumn (Fall), mayflies will be everywhere, dancing around each other in large groups, or resting on every available surface.
The adults have various special features.
Their rear wings are small or almost vestigial; the males have two long front legs for holding females, the rest have no function.
Mating is usually in mid-air.
The mayfly are quite a successful group.
About 2,500 species are known worldwide, including about 630 species in North America.
The hatch at La Crosse, Wisconsin has been a news event for several years.
The hatch is so large it appears on weather radar.
The emerging mayflies land on everything and cover some areas like snow.

"Alejandro" is a single from Lady Gaga's album The Fame Monster.
The single is composed as a midtempo (medium speed) and Europop-influenced song with an uplifting melody.
Critics portrayed the song as heavily influenced by pop groups such as Ace of Base.
They gave this song mostly positive reviews.
This was the seventh song by Lady Gaga to hit the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100.
The song was released in 2010.
It reached the top five in the US and Canada, while reaching the top ten in the UK.

Hollandaise sauce is an emulsion of egg yolk and butter.
Lemon juice, salt, and a little white pepper or cayenne pepper are often added as seasoning.
Hollandaise light yellow and opaque, smooth and creamy: it tastes rich and buttery, with a mild tang added by the seasonings, but not so strong as to overpower mildly flavoured foods.
Hollandaise sauce is well known as a key ingredient of Eggs Benedict, and is often paired with vegetables such as steamed asparagus.
Hollandaise sauce  got its name because it was thought to be like a Dutch sauce.
As early as 1651, François Pierre La Varenne describes a sauce similar to hollandaise sauce in his groundbreaking cookbook Le Cuisinier François:
("with good fresh butter, a little vinegar, salt, and nutmeg, and an egg yolk to bind the sauce")
Alan Davidson notes a "sauce à la hollandoise" from François Marin's Les Dons de Comus (1758), but since that sauce included flour, bouillon, and herbs, and omitted egg yolks, it may not be related to the modern hollandaise.
Mrs. Isabella Beeton's Household Management had recipes in the first edition (1861) for "Dutch sauce, for fish" (p. 405) and its variant on the following page, "Green sauce, or Hollandaise verte".
Her directions for hollandaise seem somewhat fearless:
"Put all the ingredients, except the lemon-juice, into a stew-pan; set it over the fire, and keep continually stirring.
When it is sufficiently thick, take it off, as it should not boil ..."
Derivatives of hollandaise sauce
Being a mother sauce, hollandaise sauce is the foundation for many others made by adding or changing ingredients.
The following is not a complete list of such minor sauces.
The most common derivative is Sauce Béarnaise.
It can be made by replacing the acidifying agent (vinegar reduction or lemon juice) with a strained reduction of vinegar, shallots, fresh chervil, fresh tarragon and crushed peppercorns.
Alternatively, the flavourings may be added to a standard hollandaise.
Béarnaise and its children are often used on steak or other "assertive" grilled meats and fish.
Sauce Choron is a variation of béarnaise without tarragon or chervil, plus added tomato purée.
Sauce Foyot (a.k.a.
Valois) is béarnaise with meat glaze (Glace de Viande) added.
Sauce Colbert is Sauce Foyot with the addition of reduced white wine.
Sauce Café de Paris is béarnaise with curry powder added.
Sauce Paloise is a version of béarnaise with mint substituted for tarragon.
Sauce au Vin Blanc (for fish) is produced by adding a reduction of white wine and fish stock to hollandaise.
Sauce Bavaroise is hollandaise made with crayfish butter with added cream, crayfish tails horseradish, and thyme.
Sauce Crème Fleurette is hollandaise with crème fraîche added.
Sauce Dijon, also known as Sauce Moutarde or Sauce Girondine, is hollandaise with Dijon mustard.
Sauce Maltaise is hollandaise to which blanched orange zest and the juice of blood orange is added.
Sauce Mousseline, also known as Sauce Chantilly, is produced by folding whipped cream into hollandaise.
If reduced sherry is first folded into the whipped cream, the result is Sauce Divine.
Sauce Noisette is a hollandaise variation made with browned butter (beurre noisette).
Physico-chemical properties
Like Mayonnaise, hollandaise sauce is an emulsion.
Hollandaise sauce is classified as an emulsified butter sauce (beurre blanc).
Increasing the viscosity can be done by adding flour or cornstarch and this can also protect against curdling.
Curdling occurs when the sauce is cooked too quickly over directly and actually brought to a boil, causing the egg proteins to denature and rearrange or coagulate into curds by bonding to one another.
Starches, such as flour and cornstarch, protect against curdling when the starch granules absorb water and being to leak long starch molecules into the liquid.
These long starch molecules prevent curdling in two ways.
First, they absorb heat and prevent some egg proteins from denaturing.
Second, the long dissolved starch molecule get in the way of the egg protein molecules and impede bonding.

A Metropolitan area network (often shortened to MAN) is a computer network that connects several other Local area networks (LANs).
An example of  where  MANs are  used,  are the networks on a campus of a university.
MANs use different technologies than LANs.
Today, most MANs are done using fibre optic cabling.
Protocol suites used in MANs include Asynchronous Transfer Mode, Switched Multimegabit Data Service, and Distributed-queue dual-bus.
MANs can reach distances of up to 100km.

Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1 April 1755, Belley, Ain – 2 February 1826, Paris) was a French lawyer and politician, and gained fame as an epicure and gastronome: "Grimod and Brillat-Savarin.
Between them, two writers effectively founded the whole genre of the gastronomic essay."
Brillat-Savarin was born in the town of Belley, Ain, where the River Rhone separated France from Savoy.
He studied law, chemistry and medicine in Dijon and practiced law in his hometown.
He was born Jean Anthelme Brillat, but  adopted his second surname because an aunt named Savarin left him her entire fortune on the condition that he adopt her name.
He returned to Belley and was for a year the elected mayor.
At a later stage of the Revolution there was a bounty on his head, and he sought political asylum at first in Switzerland.
He later moved to Holland, and then to the new-born United States, where he stayed for three years in Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Hartford, living on the proceeds of giving French language and violin lessons.
For a time he was first violin in the Park Theater in New York City.
He returned to France under the Directory in 1797 and acquired the magistrate post he would then hold for the rest of his life, as a judge of the Court of Cassation.
He remained a bachelor, but he counted love as the sixth sense: his inscription of the Physiognomie.
to his beautiful cousin Juliette Récamier reads
"Madam, receive kindly and read indulgently the work of an old man.
It is a tribute of a friendship which dates from your childhood, and, perhaps, the homage of a more tender feeling...How can I tell?
At my age a man no longer dares interrogate his heart."
His famous work, Physiologie du goût (The Physiology of Taste), was published in December 1825, two months before his death.
The full title is
Physiologie du Goût, ou Méditations de Gastronomie Transcendante; ouvrage théorique, historique et à l'ordre du jour, dédié aux Gastronomes parisiens, par un Professeur, membre de plusieurs sociétés littéraires et savantes. "
The book has not been out of print since it first appeared, shortly before Brillat-Savarin's death.
Its most notable English translation was done by food writer and critic M. F. K. Fisher, who remarked "I hold myself blessed among translators."
Her translation was first published in 1949.
Those persons who suffer from indigestion, or who become drunk, are utterly ignorant of the true principles of eating and drinking.
Brillat-Savarin cheese, the Savarin mould, a ring mould with a rounded contour, and Gâteau Savarin are named in his honour.
His reputation was  spread to a wide television audience by  Chairman Kaga of the TV series "Iron Chef" which introduced to millions the quote "Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are."
Brillat-Savarin is often considered as the father of low-carbohydrate diet.
He considered sugar and white flour to be the cause of obesity and he suggested instead protein-rich ingredients.
Sure enough, carnivorous animals never grow fat (consider wolves, jackals, birds of prey, crows, etc.).
Herbivorous animals do not grow fat easily, at least until age has reduced them to a state of inactivity; but they fatten very quickly as soon as they begin to be fed on potatoes, grain, or any kind of flour. ...
The second of the chief causes of obesity is the floury and starchy substances which man makes the prime ingredients of his daily nourishment.
As we have said already, all animals that live on farinaceous food grow fat willy-nilly; and man is no exception to the universal law.
Eneas Sweetland Dallas wrote Kettner's Book of the Table, a Manual of Cookery, 1877, a treatise on gastronomy based on the work of Brillat-Savarin.
He compared after-taste, the perfume or fragrance of food, to musical enharmonics (Meditation ii): "but for the odour which is felt in the back of the mouth, the sensation of taste would be but obtuse and imperfect."
An avid cheese lover, Brillat-Savarin remarked: "A dessert without cheese is like a beautiful woman with only one eye."
"The discovery of a new dish confers more happiness on humanity, than the discovery of a new star."
"Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are."
"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner.
'Much obliged,' said he, pushing the plate aside, 'I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills.'"
"To receive guests is to take charge of their happiness during the entire time they are under your roof.'"
"Cooking is one of the oldest arts and one that has rendered us the most important service in civic life."
"The pleasure of the table belongs to all ages, to all conditions, to all countries, and to all areas; it mingles with all other pleasures, and remains at last to console us for their departure.
