The word "Mojette" comes from the name of white beans in Vendee, originally written "Moghette" or "Mojhette".

There is an old French saying in Vendee: "counting his mojettes", meaning to know how to count his money. It is quite amazing that in the English-speaking world, the words "bean counter" refers to a non-zealous official making additions.

The original purpose of the Mojette Transform was to create a discrete tool to divide the Fourier plane into angular and radial sectors.

Workmen thronged to obey Hanriot's orders, and soon eighty thousand citizens and National Guards, armed with cannons, surrounded the Tuileries. The session of the Convention opened with bad news: the chief town of the Vendee, had just fallen into hands of rebels.

In the Convention, Lanjuinais denounced the revolt of the Paris Commune and asked for its suppression.
The Battle of Saumur was a battle during the Vendee Revolt. It occurred in the town of Saumur on 11 June 1793. As at the battle of Thouars, the Republican prisoners were released after swearing not to fight again in the Vendée and having had their hair shaved off so they could be recognised lest they went back on their word and were recaptured. In the prison at Saumur, the Vendéens found general Pierre Quétineau who had been taken prisoner after his defeat at Thouars.

The son of a lawyer, trustee prosecutor of Bordeaux, he became himself a lawyer in his hometown and began to plead in 1792. In March 1793, he decided to engage in the Vendee armies in a volunteer battalion from Gironde and there became general Boulard's aide.

As one of the propagators of the resistance in the Midi departments, he was outlawed at the Convention for the defense of the Girondins.
Working as a rigger at Svendsen's Boat Works allowed Schwab to learn many aspects of boat design, fabrication, painting, composites, and especially preparation for ocean racing. After having worked at Svendsen's for nearly 20 years, at the end of 1999 he left to form Rumbleseat Rigging. At that time he began efforts to design and build an Open 60 Class boat for the 2000 Vendee Globe Race — which no American had yet officially finished. Schwab was not able to secure a title sponsor to build his new Open 60 (which is how Open 60 Class boats are typically built).
He first served under the label of the Independent Republicans before joining the Union for French Democracy in 1978. Candidate in 1981 as an alternate to Philippe Mestre, he then left the French National Assembly. His brother, Martial Caillaud, was mayor of L'Herbergement from 1965 to 1987 and general counsel of canton de Rocheservière of 1973 to 1987. His nephew Dominique Caillaud, son of the former, was mayor of Saint- Florent-des-Bois of 1977 to 2008, General Council of Vendée from 1988 to 2001, and a member of the second district of Vendee from 1997 to 2012.

He finished 7th after 104 days at sea in what has been acknowledged as one of the most remarkable comebacks in the history of the Vendée Globe race. Humphreys would later sell his Open 60, Hellomoto to yachtswoman Dee Caffari and moved into the Extreme 40 Class again with Motorola competing in the inaugural edition of the Volvo Extreme Sailing Series during the Volvo Ocean Race.
Petits who work in this manner do not hunt to kill. In the Vendee region of France, the dogs are used to flush and track rabbit in the bramble, sending rabbit out into the open where the hunter takes the rabbit with a shot. Skilled hunting dogs work well with other dogs in the pack, alerting the pack to the presence of a rabbit, or to a rabbit in motion down a trail. "Saber tails," another PBGV nickname, are typically white at the tip of the tail, so the tail is easily identified by a hunter above the bramble and brush.
Instead he formed the Made in America Foundation to raise funds and gained further grass roots support for the project. Schwab worked with designer Tom Wylie to develop the boat design which was built at Schooner Creek Boat Works in Portland, Oregon and christened OceanPlanet. When Schwab fell short of his objective of having OceanPlanet ready for the 2000 Vendee Globe, fellow American solo Racer Brad Van Liew convinced Schwab to race the 2002-2003 Around Alone race (formerly the BOC Challenge and now the Velux 5 Oceans Race) upon the boats completion. OceanPlanet had a narrow beam, seawater ballast, and an 80-foot unstayed and rotating carbon fiber mast.
It was active during the purported "Révolution nationale" enacted by Vichy France, though, which has been considered by René Rémond not as a fascist regime but as a counter- revolutionary regime, whose motto was Travail, Famille, Patrie ("Work, Family, Fatherland"), which replaced the Republican motto Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité. After the French Revolution, anti-clerical policies and the execution of King Louis XVI led to the Revolt in the Vendee. This counter- revolution produced what is debated to be the first modern genocide. Monarchists and Catholics took up arms against the revolutionaries' French Republic in 1793 after the government asked that 300,000 Vendeans be conscripted into the Republican military.
"This elevated origin", he went on, "seems to have had effects on you so that your muse is now continually sublime."Escholier, Raymond, Victor Hugo raconté par ceux qui l'ont vu, Librairie Stock, 1931, p. 11. Hugo believed himself to have been conceived on 24 June 1801, which is the origin of Jean Valjean's prisoner number 24601. Weary of the constant moving required by military life, Sophie separated temporarily from Léopold and settled in Paris in 1803 with her sons; she began seeing General Victor Fanneau de La Horie, Hugo's godfather who had been a comrade of General Hugo's during the campaign in Vendee.
Offshoot orders include both apostolic and contemplative Sisters of Our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd, which have now been joined back together as one order. There was a pilgrimage chapel of Our Lady of Charity near St.-Laurent-sur-La-Plaine which was destroyed by order of the French revolutionary government in 1791. Shortly afterward, the Virgin Mary was reported to be seen on the ruined altar and in a nearby oak tree.France and the Cult of the Sacred Heart by Raymond Jonas This set off more pilgrimages and became part of the unrest leading up to the War in the Vendee.
In May 1794, Turreau, commander of the Armée de l'Ouest, was recalled from his post, and the practice of infernal columns was brought to an end. After the Thermidorian reaction, in August 1794 Hoche was placed in charge of the Army of the Coasts of Brest and in October 1794, Jean Baptiste Canclaux was given command of the Army of the West. Both generals favoured conciliation with the rebels, and contacts were established with the insurgents through the intercession of Mme de Gasnier-Chambon, a creole from Saint-Domingue who knew Mlle de Charette, sister of the Vendée general.J Crétineau-Joly, Histoire de la Vendee Militaire, Vol.
Nadi was elected to the General Council in 1910 for Canton du Grand-Serre, Drôme, and the Chamber of Deputies in 1914. During this time, activists from La Roche-sur-Yon and Les Sables-d'Olonne appealed to the SFIO, which sent Nadi, a Permanent Delegate, to visit them, resulting in the emergence of additional SFIO groups. Chaired by Nadi, the first Congress was held in La Roche-sur-Yon, from which emerged the Socialist Federation of Vendee, with a hundred members. In 1919, Jules Nadi was re-elected to the General Council representing Romans-sur-Isère, where he remained until his death in 1925, defeating Gailly.

After the coup of 18 Brumaire VIII (9 November 1799), an event to which he showed himself favorable, Merlet was appointed general counsel of Maine-et-Loire (1 June 1800). His political career was resurrected when he was appointed to the prefecture of the Vendée (9 Frimaire IX, or 30 November 1800), a position he accepted despite the difficulties that a country still smoking from the fire of the civil war was to pose to his administration. He held this vital position for eight years. His most important task in Vendee involved the construction of a new chef-lieu to replace the ruined Fontenay- le-Comte.
The Machecoul massacre is one of the first events of the War in the Vendée, a revolt against mass conscription and the civil constitution of the clergy. The first massacre took place on 11 March 1793, in the provincial city of Machecoul, in the district of the lower Loire. The city was a thriving center of grain trade; most of the victims were administrators, merchants and citizens of the city. Although the Machecoul massacre, and others that followed it, are often viewed (variously) as a royalist revolt, or a counter- revolution, twenty-first century historians generally agree that Vendee revolt was a complicated popular event brought on by anti-clericalism of the Revolution, mass conscription, and Jacobin anti-federalism.
Food shortages arising from a poor 1794 harvest were exacerbated in Northern France by the need to supply the army in Flanders, while the harsh winter made it difficult to transport goods around the country. By April 1795, the assignat was worth only 8% of its face value; in desperation, the sans culottes rose again. They were quickly dispersed and the main impact was another round of arrests, while Jacobin prisoners in Lyon were summarily executed. In order to end the Chouannerie in western France and pacify the Vendee, the December 1794 Treaty of La Jaunaye allowed freedom of worship and the return of Catholic priests who had refused to swear loyalty to the Republic.
Athanase Charles Marie Charette de la Contrie was born on September 3, 1832 in Nantes, France. His grandfather was Charles X the last king of France and his great-uncle, General Charette, was shot in Nantes on 29 March 1795, during the rising of the Vendee. His mother, Louise, Countess de Vierzon, was the daughter of the Duc de Berry and Amy Brown Freeman. As the Duchesse de Berry was at that time in hiding at Nantes, and Charette's father was being sought by the police, the child's birth was concealed; he was secretly taken from Nantes on 17 September and was registered in the commune of Sainte-Reine as born on 18 September.

At the 2012 Summer Olympics, he again competed in the men's triathlon, finishing in thirty-fourth with a time of 1:50:32. Following the 2012 Games, Butterfield elected to focus on long-course triathlons.
In 1707, floods were said to have drowned 50,000 people in the river valley, with the water rising more than in two hours in Orléans. Typically passenger travel downriver from Orléans to Nantes took eight days, with the upstream journey against the flow taking fourteen. It was also a dumping ground for prisoners in the War in the Vendee since they thought it was a more effective way of killing. Soon after the beginning of the 19th century, steam-driven passenger boats began to ply the river between Nantes and Orléans, making the upriver journey faster; by 1843, 70,000 passengers were being carried annually in the Lower Loire and 37,000 in the Upper Loire.
Marco Silvestri is an oil tanker captain who works abroad and now has little contact with his sister, who is married to his best friend, Jacques, in Paris. He is divorced and his two daughters live with their mother in the Vendee. His sister, Sandra, asks him to return after her husband commits suicide, which he does, giving up his job. It emerges that Sandra and her husband’s women’s shoe manufacturing business, inherited from the father of Marco and Sandra (Marco gave them his share of the inheritance), faces bankruptcy. Also, Sandra’s underage teenage daughter, Justine, has a history of drugs, alcohol and self-harming and is in hospital with internal injuries from sexual abuse and torture.
The early directors did not much understand the nation they were governing; they especially had an innate inability to see Catholicism as anything else than counter- revolutionary and royalist. Local administrators had a better sense of people's priorities, and one of them wrote to the minister of the interior: "Give back the crosses, the church bells, the Sundays, and everyone will cry: " The Directory denounced the arbitrary executions of the Reign of Terror, but itself engaged in large scale illegal repressions, as well as large-scale massacres of civilians in the Vendee uprising. The economy continued in bad condition, with the poor especially hurt by the high cost of food. State finances were in total disarray; the government could only cover its expenses through the plunder and the tribute of foreign countries.
Furthermore, he drew on graphic, nineteenth century accounts widely known to the historians of the Vendee: Carrier drownings and the "infernal columns of Turreau". Most importantly, however, Secher broke with conventional assessments by asserting on the basis of minimal evidence, Tilly claims, that the pre-revolutionary Vendée was more prosperous than the rest of France (to better emphasize the devastation of the war and the repression). He used dubious statistical methods to establish population losses and fatalities, statistical processes that inflated the number of people in the region, the number and value of houses, and the financial losses of the region. Secher's statistical procedure relied on three unjustifiable assumptions. First, Secher assumes a constant birth rate of about 37 per thousand of population, when actually, Tilly maintains, the population was declining.
Conrad David Humphreys (born 13 February 1973) is a professional yachtsman, adventurer and motivational speaker. Humphreys has competed in three round the world races, two fully crewed (Whitbread Round the World Race 1993–94 and the BT Global Challenge 2000–2001) and one single handed (Vendee Globe 2004–5) He has also competed in the Transat (2004), the Route du Rhum (2002, 2014), the Transat Jacques Vabre (2003), the Archipelago Raid (2008–2011) the Extreme Sailing Series (2005–07) and La Solitaire du Figaro (2011). In his most recent adventure, Humphreys was the professional skipper of Channel 4's re-creation of Captain Bligh's epic voyage of survival. As the sailing master he was responsible for ensuring the team's safety, navigation and sailing of Bounty's Launch as they set out to re-trace Bligh's 4000 mile voyage in a tiny 23 foot open boat from Tonga to Timor.
He argued that Rohm & Haas's "conduct in this clearly constitutes patent misuse under these pre-Mercoid decisions because [it] refuses to license others to use its patented process unless they purchase from it unpatented propanil." He dismissed as irrelevant the fact that propanil was a non-staple. Indeed, the fact that propanil lacked non-infringing use further made the conduct misuse: > Moreover, the fact that propanil is a nonstaple product having no > substantial use except in the patented process has been without significance > at least since B.B. Chemical, and only serves to reinforce the conclusion > that respondent is attempting to extend the patent monopoly to unpatented > materials. Because propanil has no substantial noninfringing use, it cannot > be sold without incurring liability for contributory infringement unless the > vendor has a license to sell propanil or its vendee has an unconditional > license to use the patented process.
Decembre 1795: "Le général Kléber atteste les services, le patriotisme et la capacité du citoyen Strolz' pour le grade de lieutenant dans un regiment", in: Chuquet Arthur: Quatre généraux de la révolution: Hoche & Desaix, Kléber & Marceaux: lettres et notes inédites suivies d'annexes historiques et biographiques, Paris 1911, p.204 The articulate Strolz also performed the duties of a private secretary for his general and later edited most of Kléber's memoirs of the Vendee Campaign.Baguenier-Désormeaux: Kléber en Vendée: 1793-1794 p.XXXIIIDenkwürdigkeiten der Militärischen Gesellschaft in Berlin, Volumes 1-2 By Militärische Gesellschaft, Erster Band, Zweites Stück Berlin November 1802 p. 277 The 80,000-strong Army of Sambre and Meuse at that time held the west bank of the Rhine as far south as the Nahe and then southwest to Sankt Wendel. In early 1796, Jean Baptiste Kléber, former lieutenant of the Imperial German Army, took command of the army's left (northern) flank.
80 This kind of literature was another one featuring the Carlist threads and Carlist protagonists; unlike novela de tesis works falling into this rubric were usually though not always cast against the historic framework, especially during the Carlist Wars of the 19th century.there are a few works de- constructing Carlist mythologisation threads in the culture of Francoism. This anthropologic approach is championed by Francisco Javier Caspistegui, see his Spain’s Vendee: Carlist identity in Navarre as a mobilising model, [in:] Chris Ealham, Michael Richards (eds.), The Splinering of Spain, Cambridge 2005, , pp. 177-195, Del „Dios, Patria, Rey” al „Socialismo, Federalismo, Autogestión”: dos momentos del carlismo a través de Montejurra (1963 y 1974), [in:] III Congreso General de Historia de Navarra, Pamplona 1997, pp. 309-329, (with Gemma Pierola Narvarte) Entre la ideología y lo cotidiano: la familia en el carlismo y el tradicionalismo (1940-1975), [in:] Vasconia: cuadernos de historia-geografía 28 (1999), pp.
At Marseille he joined the Saint-Domingue expedition, embarking in December accompanied by his wife, who came with him at her own expense in imitation of Pauline Bonaparte, wife of the expedition's commander Leclerc. Bouchard and his wife both caught yellow fever on the island, though she was repatriated and gave birth to their daughter in 1802, without Bouchard receiving news until much later. Bouchard was captured on the island's surrender and interned on Jamaica before being released on parole in August 1804, after which he went back to France. He convalesced there for a few months before joining Napoleon in September 1805, upon which Bouchard was put in charge of construction works in the town of Vendée (later renamed Roche- sur-Yon), which Napoleon had founded to reestablish civil and military authority on a civilian population who he thought might be encouraged to resume the War in the Vendee by the British naval presence in the area.
If the examination showed a good and marketable title, and the vendee should refuse to pay the money then due from it, the $100,000 was to be delivered to the vendors as liquidated damages. In the event that the examination should disclose that the title was not good and marketable, the Liberty Oil was to notify the vendors, and they were to have 30 days in which to perfect the title, and, should they neglect in that time to do so, the $100,000 on deposit was to be returned to the Liberty Oil. In either case the contract was to become null and void. Liberty Oil claims abstract showed that the title of the vendors was not good and marketable, in that in the chain of title the vendors claimed under the deed of an assignee for the benefit of creditors filed in a Colorado court, but never authorized or confirmed by a court of competent jurisdiction under the laws of Kansas, as required by the law of Kansas, that this defect was not remedied by the vendors within the time required.
302 Baleztena's interest in feasts and customs is peculiar as it combined three different approaches: this of a scientist (anthropologist, historian, ethnographer, who pursues impartial scholarly studies),Baleztena was active in Principe de Viana and contributed some scholarly works (e.g. Toponimia del término de Pamplona, [in:] Actas de la I Reunión de Toponimia Pirenaica, Zaragoza 1949), though in general he tended to underline his amateurish stance and to mock scientists and scientific realm with all its rituals: conferences, lectures, universities, grades, professors, faculties, books, scientific articles etc; he was a rare guest at the Etnologia Vasca faculty at Universidad de Navarra, headed by José Miguel de Barandiarán this of a politician (who shapes popular customs as vehicles of propagating own set of values),for a sample see El Siglo Futuro 31.10.1935, available here; it is worth noting that he fell short of directly contributing to the wartime propaganda; he is not mentioned in Francisco Javier Caspistegui, "Spain's Vendee": Carlist identity in Navarre as a mobilising model, [in:] Chris Ealham, Michael Richards (eds.), The Splintering of Spain, Cambridge 2005, , pp. 177-195 and this of a participant (who genuinely enjoys the feasts, contributes to them and takes part in them).
The votes divided up equally, and he said "I see what I am in - the plan is indisputable, and it was me who was bothering everyone; ah well, I retire : our great decision must not be abased by personal rivalries; I accept serving under the orders of Canclaux, to put an end to all quarrels, if Canclaux wishes to command the march that he imposes." This gesture decided no one and Rossignol, in abstaining from taking part in the second vote, allowed his opponents to triumph in principle—but only in principle, for the turning march that they decided on resulted in the delays that he knew it would and the glorious defeat of the Mayenians themselves. It can be believed that the plan by Rossignol, an ignorant general, was not the best one, but we have an authoritative opinion of some value on the point—that of Napoleon himself. Judging the operations of the War in the Vendee at a distance, he declared that the only party to take to the Council of Saumur was to march directly and en masse, re-stating in several lines the plan proposed by Rossignol.
After Napoleon's return from exile on the island of Elba to Paris on20 March 1815, his brother - although surprised - joined him from Switzerland by way of Fort l'Ecluse.Albert du Casse: Mémoires et correspondance politique et militaire du Roi Joseph, Tome 9, Paris 1854, p.227 Joseph sent for Strolz who had been caught on the other side of France by the changed circumstances in Alsace. Unable to join Joseph immediately, he nonetheless declared his allegiance with the Bonapartes and was appointed governor of Strasbourg on 26 March 1815. On 21 April 1815, Strolz was re- confirmed by Napoleon as lieutenant general in the Imperial French Army.Arthur Chuquet: Ordres et Apostilles de Napoleon 1799-1815, Tome IV, Paris 1912, p.547Desormeaux, Baguenier H.: Kléber en Vendee, Documents, publies pour la Société d' Histoire Contemporaire, Picard, Paris 1907, p.24 After lobbying for a more active role for himself, on 7 June 1815 Strolz was appointed officer commanding the 9th Cavalry Division. His division, together with the 10th Cavalry Division under General of Division Louis Pierre Aimé Chastel, and two horse artillery batteries, was part of General Rémi Joseph Isidore Exelmans II Cavalry Corps (2e Corps de cavalerie) of Napoleon's Armée du Nord.
