we see some of the original photographs that were taken some time after 1898 when Coles had moved to Derby. They are taken of completed cranes standing outside the works at Slack Lane. They show the diversity of variations on the standard pattern. The close up of the platform showing the operator gives a good idea of just how big some of these cranes could be. By this time they were able to make cranes lifting upto 36 tons....

Sayyid Ahmad was among the foremost visionaries who realized the scale of British conspiracies and diplomacies, and launched a systemic struggle to counter the effects. He communicated with political figureheads of that time to make them realize of British intrusion. He also worked for social reformation of Muslim communities in far-off places in subcontinent. Sayyid Ahmad traveled throughout the Subcontinent, into Afghanistan and North West region of Subcontinent to create awareness for the cause. He eventually lost his life in a battle against Sikh army at Balakot in May 1831. This in-depth inquiry provides insights on Sikh & British alliance established at that time and how British pursued their colonial agenda in India....

We see from the life of Sayyid Ahmed that he disrupted the status quo of society at various levels. He was not a passive preacher or a Sufi living in isolation. He not only challenged the oppressors but also the oppressed. For this he faced opposition from both. When Sayyid Ahmed stepped out to reform socio-religious thought in India, that included matters related to general ignorance of basic tenets of Islam, sufi ideologies and pilgrimage; he met with resistance from those “internal” agents whose interest relied on the then state of affairs. Similarly, when he refused to compromise with the political hostility of colonizers and their allies, he faced challenges. This makes the study of his movement a very special case in history of South Asia. A keen researcher thus needs to understand the context of every comment that is placed in favor or opposition of Sayyid Ahmed. In this study, I have kept focus on the macro aspects of the life of Sayyid Ahmed and his movement and its historical context....

Quotes from Mein Kampf and annotations on them.

Excerpt Details
Mein Kampf is certainly a good book, which has various streaks of great insights in various locations. It has been written by a person of outstanding personal capacities and calibre. It is the work of a person who had the capacity to look beyond the parameters and limitations imposed by indoctrinations and herd instincts. There are various locations where it is clearly seen that the author does not have a frog-in-the-well insight on events, incidences and logical thinking, on various items connected to history, sociology and as well measuring others. At the same time, this book and its author did also have a lot of failures and shallowness, and including that of a frog-in-the-well attitude on certain items. The first item of its failure to measure up to book of universal appeal is its very basic cloistered and highly confined ambit of readership appeal. Even though there are various inputs, ideas and insights of glorious levels, the book is confined to a Germany versus others, Aryans versus others, Germans versus others, location. It is also localised by a very ubiquitous, Germans versus the Jews attitude, plus a totally an...

《反腐無戰線》是一部精彩萬分的懸疑諜戰網路文學，故事之所以精彩，除了人物塑造較為成功之外，關鍵在於本書的時代背景：1950年6月，朝鮮戰爭爆發，美國出兵朝鮮，杜魯門下令第七艦隊進駐臺灣海峽。 故事就是在這一歷史關鍵轉捩點鋪展開來的，局勢對當時的國民黨非常不利，五月舟山、海南相繼淪陷，若戰事無法繼續扭轉，臺灣就岌岌可危了。山雨欲來風滿樓，此刻的臺灣島內民眾要求反腐消除積弊的聲浪此起彼伏，蔣總裁為了挽回民心，同年下令槍斃了陳儀，把228事件的歷史罪責都歸咎於陳儀一人。 為了挽救瀕臨滅亡的國民黨政權，蔣建豐結合當年自己在上海打老虎時期的失敗教訓，重新組建起了一支鐵血救國會，目的是希望鐵血救國會能夠在香港反腐緝私事務中發揮積極作用，找到國民黨內部大老虎們在香港走私洗錢的確鑿證據，自己也好借此機會在島內開展整頓黨務工作，從而肅清黨內的腐敗分子和內奸，淨化黨員隊伍。唯有如此，臺灣島內新的幣值改革才有成功的一線生機。 為了推行新的幣值改革，鐵血救國會不惜遠赴香港搜集情報，然而一場看不見的血雨腥風正在等待著他們，在朝鮮戰爭疑雲密佈下，各路人馬在香港這座彈丸之地粉墨登場，展開了一場你死我活的殊死較量。 故事當中的主人公們又會在香港演繹一段怎樣的傳奇？謝穆瀾又是如何起死回生？面對反腐和幣制改革，梁複生接下去又該何去何從？......留下懸念，期待讀者閱讀。...

This is a book about the beginnings of the Jewish people, from prehistory to the time the Jewish Nation was formed in the land of Canaan. Many books cover the early history of the Jews, the Bible being, perhaps, the most read one. However, archaeological discoveries made over last 30 or so years shed some new and important light on many events in that history. These discoveries have been published in a number of books and scholarly papers. For those who do not have time, or inclination to go over those numerous sources, this short (intentionally short) book retells the early history of the Jewish people in light of those discoveries. For those, who would like to dive deeper into specific subjects, the extensive bibliography provides the material for further reading....

In 1971 the Coles Colossus 6000 was conceived, designed and built as a total concept: as a crane capable of lifting the super heavy loads, and putting them up high or far out as a total concept. The 6000 has the features that make for real efficiency, real profitability, allowing easy work planning and even easier lifting of really big loads. The Coles Colossus 6000 has features like a seven axle chassis tot supreme readability; a unique eight point jacking system for ultra stable lifting; interchangeable structures for strut jib, short and high tower working; an over the wheels chassis frame of immense strength; hydro pneumatic suspension; and the capability to lift all loads through the full 360 degree of slew....

The older cranes, some of which were probably only prototypes, left little information behind other than grainy photographs. What we do have is a series of photographs in the history section of the 1958s Coles sales catalogue, this gives an image and date of twelve keynote units. Some of these units like the steam rail cranes were built or maintained throughout this period. Here based on this list, I well try to give as much as can be found about these early cranes....

In the second book of this series we pick up the story in the 1960s twenty years before the 100 yrars book was produced. We do this as the first book missed out a vital section in relation to the merger of Coles with Priestman Brothers. This merger began to show cracks in the industry and in management thinking at the time. This book has the advantage of hindsight but hopefully gets closer to the truth of what happened to the company. In such a large company there are many stories here is the basic story of what happened....

By the late 1960s Coles, which was at this time part of the company Steels Engineering Products Ltd, had three factories in the United Kingdom producing cranes. Sunderland. - This the “Crown Works” was the main factory where there was a range of cranes being produced, among them the Aeneas, Proteus, Argus, Vigorous, Illustrious, Centurion, Valiant, Ranger, Liea, Endurance, Doninant and Conqueror. Many of these were available in different option as mobile, lorry mounted, rail, semi and full tower units. Also the newly developed Hydra hydraulic cranes were beginning to make an impact and production increased. Glzenbuty. - This was the old factory of F. Taylor & Sons which was ending its lines of Jumbo and Jib carrier cranes Grantham. - This was where R H Neal Ltd had been in business since 1939, although incorporated into Coles they were still making a range of their own diesel mechanical cranes and a hydraulic Hymax hybrid. A new hydraulic introduced based on the Hydra truck was a rough terrain unit called the Husky, these would eventually become the sole production of this factory as the range extended and became a massive...

No records can be found relating to Henry Coles’ childhood until he left school at the age of 13, to be articled to S.Worssam and Co. (later called A.

Park visitors were a diverse group. In May 1929, in late night and early morning hours, mixed-sex, nude bathing parties had been observed at the reservoir. Hart was incensed. He had labored to create a beautiful park for everyone, but he was prepared to protect it against criticism. He warned, "You can't quote me too strongly on this matter, I am going to have three deputy sheriffs on the lookout at the Kern River park, and if anyone, man or woman, is caught bathing in the lake at that time of the day or night without a bathing suit, he or she will be arrested. I don't care who these mixed couples are. I have given instructions they will be taken immediately and locked up in the county jail to await the due course of the law."...
