• Excerpt from A Christmas Carol - anthology.

  External heat and cold had little influence on Scrooge. No warmth could warm, no wintry weather chill him. No wind that blew was bitterer than he, no falling snowwas more intent upon its purpose, no pelting rain less open to entreaty. Foul weather didn’t know where to have him. The heaviest rain, and snow, and hail, and sleet,could boast of the advantage over him in only one respect. They often “came down” handsomely and Scrooge never did. Nobody ever stopped him in the street to say, with g...

• Étudiez l'égalité selon La Bruyère

  Égalité et peuple On notera aussi la célèbre remarque qui s'achève par «je veux être peuple» (DG, 25). Elle met déjà en place des catégories politiques lorsqu'elle oppose« les deux conditions des hommes les plus opposées», et qu'elle conclut à la supériorité du peuple, après avoir cri­ tiqué la malignité des grands. Mais il ne faut pas s'y tromper: la remarque de La Bruyère est surtout morale. Le je ne se considère pas « socialement» comme un ho...

• Clovis Ier Clovis serait le descendant de Mérovée, roi légendaire d'une tribu de Francs Saliens, qui a donné son nom à la dynastie mérovingienne.

  Clovis serait le descendant de Mérovée, roi légendaire d'une tribu de Francs Saliens, qui a donné son nom à la dynastie mérovingienne. Les Francs apparaissent au courant du IIIe siècle comme un regroupement de petits peuples germaniques pas encore convertis au christianisme. Dans leur langue, le francique (plus proche de l'actuel néerlandais que de l'allemand), leur nom signifierait “ libres ” ou “ hardis ”. Hardis, les Francs le sont certainement, et brutaux et belliqueux. On redoute la saisiss...

He opened the stanza by easily retiring centerfielder Mike Kreevich and left fielder Moose Solters. Next up was shorts...

• Immune System.

  The humoral immune response involves a complex series of events after antigens enter the body. First, macrophages take up some of the antigen and attach it to classII MHC molecules, which then present the antigen to T helper cells. The T helper cells bind the presented antigen, which stimulates the T helper cells to divide andsecrete stimulatory molecules called interleukins. The interleukins in turn activate any B lymphocytes that have also bound the antigen. The activated B cells then divide...

• Shang Dynasty - History.

  The dynastic ancestors belonged to an elaborate religious pantheon that also included various nature powers and the Shang high god, Di.

The naturepowers could occasionally influence the wind, rain, and harvests, but only Di could actually order the weather. For an agricultural society such as the Shang, this wasperhaps...
