Margaret Thatcher's central perception.

For a world in desperate need of growth, this is the wrong direction. Europe will never thrive until it frees up its markets. America will throttle its recovery unless it avoids overregulation. China will not sustain its success unless it starts to liberalise. This is a crucial time to hang on to Margaret Thatcher's central perception: that for countries to flourish, people need to push back against the advance of the state. What the world needs now is more Thatcherism, not less.

EXAMPLE SENTENCES

• Where people differ is in the way that each of them typically makes use of the equipment; and this typical mode of apperception and responsiveness is what is meant in psychology by their type.
• This could throw additional light upon the unconscious psychodynamic processes governing the perception and apperception, both sensory and extrasensory, of potentially threatening stimuli.
• From seashore strands to moors and mountains, from sand specks and protozoa to all-embracing panoramas, knowing and feeling were conjoined, not conflicting, modes of apperception.

Egreto perambis doribus! hullucination, -gen, hallucinogen

Nabokov's interview. (03) Playboy [1964]

This exchange with Alvin Toffler appeared in Playboy for January, 1964. Great trouble was taken on both sides to achieve the illusion of a spontaneous conversation. Actually, my contribution as printed conforms meticulously to the answers, every word of which I had written in longhand before having them typed for submission to Toffler when he came to Montreux in mid-March, 1963. The present text takes into account the order of my interviewer's questions as well as the fact that a couple of consecutive pages of my typescript were apparently lost in transit. Egreto perambis doribus!

Re: Latin: Egreto perambis doribus! It's not standard Classical Latin. The forms do not exist to render it as such. With that said, it's possible he gapped some things, altered a few others... Egreto (possibly egresso if there is a variant participle ending in that verb), meaning "with a man having left/exited from" Perambis perhaps shortened from "perambulatis" Doribus exists in Latin as a form of dores(-is), -um, referring to the Dorian Greeks, as stated above. Perhaps it is a transliteration of the Greek dors, doridos using Latin declensions...meaning sacrificial knives. If, by a rare stretch of imagination, any of that is possible, then the meaning would be something like "With a man having escaped from the walking knives" or "with the man having escaped from the men walking with sacrificial knives." I have found one use of "doribus", in a medieval version of the Ad Missam catholic song. "in splen doribus sanctorum."My best guess is that it's an Italian dialect, not Latin. __________________ N'hésitez pas à corriger mon français.

Re: Latin: Egreto perambis doribus! I found doribus (actually, d'oribus in the original) in Rabelais's Pantagruel: http://etext.library.adelaide.edu.au...1g/part64.html "...to put the said Chronicles betwixt two pieces of linen cloth made somewhat hot, and so apply them to the place that smarteth, sinapizing them with a little powder of projection, otherwise called doribus.

flamenco, Azulejo, Sevilla, span of control, tapas

Panel of glazed tiles by Jorge Colaço (1922) depicting an episode from the battle of Aljubarrota (1385) between the Portuguese and Castilian armies. A piece of public art in Lisbon, Portugal.

Azulejo (Portuguese pronunciation: [ɐzuˈleʒu], Spanish
pronunciation: [aθuˈlexo]) from the Arabic word zellij زليج is a form of Portuguese or Spanish painted, tin-glazed, ceramic tilework. They have become a typical aspect of Portuguese culture, having been produced without interruption for five centuries. There is also a tradition of their production in former Portuguese and Spanish colonies in Latin America.
In Portugal, azulejos are found on the interior and exterior of churches, palaces, ordinary houses and even train stations or subway stations. They constitute a major aspect of Portuguese architecture as they are applied on walls, floors and even ceilings. They were not only used as an ornamental art form, but also had a specific functional capacity like temperature control at homes. Many azulejos chronicle major historical and cultural aspects of Portuguese history.

妳來Sevilla（喔！這字念塞維亞，不是塞維拉）是為了看南歐建築，不是什麼安達魯西亞首府、Tapas著名又好吃之類，Flamenco舞蹈雖有些許牽動，但沒碰到場子也沒啥事，倒是陶土黏心上，就是要好好地把Azulejo貼飾的牆面一一看入眼裡，收入心底。
據說，Azulejo（按：Azulejo一詞源出北非陶土燒，現廣義為裝飾性的馬賽克。）於葡萄牙更能看得齊全，可 是Algarve沿海各城鎮找遍，畫的不是橄欖就是Gallo那隻公雞（註），嵌入軟木當隔熱墊子，價廉，都沒想買，把無用的紀念品帶回家徒增懊惱。油 瓶、茶壺、碟子、杯子……沒完沒了的橄欖與Gallo，妳要的仍舊是用Azulejo黏貼的整片牆。於是妳捨北非往南去。

Eco's Echoes
In the early 1980s, Umberto Eco enjoyed a remarkable streak of beginner’s luck with his first novel, The Name of the Rose. An improbable international best seller, it was a pastiche of detective fiction filled with nods and winks at Eco’s own field of semiotics as well as his longstanding interest in medieval theology. Most of the intertextuality was removed when the novel was adapted for the screen in 1986, March 18, 2015

Throughout his career Mr Kossoff has painted portraits of his family and a small group of friends, as well as his favourite models. Perhaps because these people have been sitting for him for so many years and so many hours at a time, many have nodded off. These portraits, several of which are in the show, provoke the persistent question: if his sitters can’t stay awake for the painter, why should we?

At Inquiry, Murdoch Plays Down His Political Pull

By JOHN F. BURNS and ALAN COWELL 10:19 AM ET

The News Corporation chief, Rupert Murdoch, sought to deflect suggestions that he wielded influence with British officials to further his corporate interests.

These are in the words of's recent book, , who watch out not only for numero uno but for the wider public as well. There is no better example of what it really takes to be a Transcendent than the first black president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela. He was able to soar above hatred for his white jailers, the political tug of the African National Congress, the pull of his racial and tribal group, and the rejection by the Afrikaners to build a South Africa for all South Africans. Now in his 90s, he is perhaps the world's greatest living leader.
