Napoleon takes issue with the private character of the Bank of France:

“I should be the master in everything in which I am concerned and certainly regarding the Bank, which belongs more to the Emperor than to the stockholders, because it creates money.”

(2 April 1806)

“The Bank does not only belong to the shareholders, it also belongs to the State since it gives it the privilege of minting money... I want the Bank to be sufficiently in the hands of the Government… I'm not asking it to lend money, but to give facilities.”

(27 March 1806)

Tell me i'm wrong...

She had so perfected the art of adoring herself that nothing could compare with her lifestyle. Her comb went up for auction at a fantastic price; her hairbrush was sold for its weight in gold. Virtuous women argued over who should wear her Cinderella slippers. Her love-letters were sold, her ringlets were sold, everything was disposed of. Her coquettishness had turned her into an ornament, a fancy, a frivolous toy which breaks at the first blow. She had wished to have quiet - she was forever drawn into fetes and distractions. She would have wished to be loved - she was told that she was beautiful. So she had abandoned herself, unresistingly, to the whirlpool which swept her away.

RETURN OF THE KING

Just got thru watching Du Plessis vs Adesanya.

Someone once said the modern middleweight division is just a bunch of guys who would get railroaded by a prime Chris Weidman and they are 100% correct. I apologize Chris, I called out crazy when you said you had the game to beat Izzy but no you were right. You're just old.

Watching Adesanya, one of the most gifted and skilled strikers, win rounds in a fight despite himself has to be one of the most frustrating things in MMA. He had a lot of great ideas. Attack the body. Punish DDP from range. Punish the blitzes. Use kicks to attack the body. But he just seemingly forgets that he's in an actual fight sometimes? The moving around and resetting. Trying to be this slick counter fighter. Just lead the dance. Take the initiative. Because if you're just going to give a roll of the dice ever few minutes and force yourself to be reactive, you're going to either tire yourself out or allow the other guy to just overwhelm you. And that's what happened here. Adesanya, in that fourth round, got tired and allowed an equally tired DDP to just run after him with big shots as Adesanya's footwork fell apart adn he was forced to turn tail and run. Eventually leading to being put down and submitted.
