Capital of the Mind: How Edinburgh Changed the World
How did a notoriously poor, alcoholic, violent and smelly town, consisting of 40,000 inhabitants, make such an impression on its age and on ours? So that Voltaire wrote, with more than a dash of malice that 'today it is from Scotland that we get rules of taste in all the arts, from epic poetry to gardening'? The leading lights of the Scottish Enlightenment - David Hume, Adam Smith, Adam Ferguson, William Cullen and James Hutton - transformed the way we treat our perceptions and feelings as well as mechanical processes, sickness and health, trade, money, relations between the sexes, the purposes of existence and government. In just fifty years, Edinburgh produced more philosophical landmarks than a town of its size since the Athens of Socrates. In an account of exceptionally close focus, James Buchan resurrects every aspect of eighteenth-century Edinburgh, and shows how a succession of disasters demolished old systems of thought and behaviour to set Edinburgh's men and women off in strange new directions. Capital of the Mind opens a fascinating window on a glorious time when Edinburgh was the most beautiful and philosophical city in Europe.

I am doing this application for an school in Scotland, and it tells me to "type in block letters". Does it mean just write in capital letters or do I have to actually type them on an typewritter in captial letters?

Resolved Question: The state of society in England (Discussion)?
I live in North West England, Cheshire to be more precise. It's not so bad around here, well, in some areas. Crewe, the biggest town in the county, is considered to be the "chav capital of the world", but from what I've heard of Eastern cities like Newcastle and Sunderland, there's open gang warfare. I live in the second biggest town in the county, although it's still pretty small. It's quiet here apart from a few rough areas.
I'm in Year 11 and I go to a school in Crewe, and although it's notorious for being full of chavs, it's not actually all that bad, as the school has a strict no-bullying policy which eliminates most of the physical violence. I moved there at the end of Year 10, and although I'm familiar with school life, I always feel kind of... scared when I'm there. Like the majority of the school lives a life of hard knocks; I always hear people talking about street gangs and stuff (the Alton Street Army is a notorious gang in Crewe), and the minority includes people like me (clever, haven't taken the troublemaker's path) but they all seem to be hardened by their own problems as well as all the tense roughness. I don't really think I've adapted very well to modern school life. Is it normal to feel a little bit nervous about this?
I think a lot about moving to Scotland once I leave school, to a quiet, peaceful village, perhaps on an island. Is it normal to feel a little bit guilty about this, having the opportunity that all the single mums on prozac living in rough areas don't? Do things change in adulthood, or do they become more rough overall?

Resolved Question: What do you think about this comment from the Libertarian Party about Damian Green's arrest?
Following the press release by David Normington who admits it was he who set off the Police investigation into leaks at the Home Office, we now have some more timings to provide a little more detail.
We already know that Boris Johnson was informed prior to the arrest of Green, as was David Cameron.
David Normington states that he was informed at 1.45, a full 15 minutes before the arrest took place.
So the question is, Jacqui Smith and Gordon Brown, even if they did not order the arrest, or give permission for it, did they know prior to the arrest taking place? If they knew, why did they not stop it?
As it was the Sergeant at Arms, who reports to the Speaker, gave his permission for Damian Green's House of Commons office to be searched, thereby allowing the invasion of Parliament by civilian police, was the Speaker, Michael Martin informed?
If, as we believe, some or all of the above 3 were most likely to have been informed prior to Damian Green's arrest, should any or all of them stepped in to refuse to allow the police to search a parliamentary office, or was it they who ordered it.
Robert Quick (allegedly Jacqui Smith's favourite copper), the head of the Met's anti-terrorist unit, sent nine of his officers to arrest the Tory MP. According to the Daily Mail, a senior Scotland Yard source said Mr Quick, also known as 'Crackers', was regarded as 'clever but boring', an uncharismatic character whose personality did not lend itself to hot-headed misjudgments.
The source added: 'He's a follower not a leader.'
I ask as now we have a situation whereby there is scant information with regard to any documents retrieved from that office, and it raises the question of constituent / MP confidentiality.
Were any documents removed or copied by police? YES, was any IT equipment removed or its contents copied? YES, were the Police supervised by the Parliament's Sergeant at Arms to ensure Police acted in a proper manner? UNKNOWN, was there a breach of confidentiality with the police being in an MP's office and examining confidential documentation, YES.
I believe that no-one including MP's should be above the law, but it must be applied to all, not just singular cases, but then I also believe that in this case, it not a question of law, but of intimidation by an authoritarian government, out to make political capital and mischief, with an ulterior motive.
The Libertarian Party tried to give all MP's a warning by organising the sending of a copy of 1984 for each and every one of them. We only hope that Damian Green's arrest, and the subsequent search of his home, constituency office and his parliamentary office serve as a further warning to all MP's that the laws created by Brown and his predecessor are now being visited upon them, that the Police state that they have helped to create is indeed very real. But of course, if they have nothing to hide, then they have nothing to fear, eh.
If the law is to be applied equally to all, then the laws applied to Damian Green must be applied to all cases of a similar nature. Perhaps the police would like to begin with Danny Finkelstein's dossier. Will Brown agree or will he claim that these laws clearly do not apply to him, for the same offence that can be seen in this video clip.
But then perhaps that is what this arrest and very public media driven debate is all about, putting MP's above the law, or certainly Labour ones. When Harriet Harman spoke out today as reported by Sky News, there is a piece of what she said that has suddenly taken on the whole reason for this ploy in the first place.
