A sausage consists of ground meat (and sometimes other animal parts), herbs and spices, and possibly other ingredients, generally packed in a casing (traditionally the intestines of the animal, though now often synthetic), and preserved in some way, often by curing or smoking. Sausage making is a very old food production and preservation technique. There is no consensus whether similar products that are not packed in casings, such as pâté, meatloaf, scrapple and head cheese should be considered sausages. Pieces of sausage—often no ...

As an outspoken leader of the "younger" historical school, Schmoller was against what he saw as the axiomatic-deductive approach of the Austrian school. This lead to the controversy known as the Methodenstreit, which today often appears as being one of the main reasons for the later demise of the whole historical school, although - as Schumpeter had pointed out - this was really a quarrel within that school. In fact, Schmoller's primarily deductive approach, requesting careful study, comparative in time and space, of economic p ...

In the Republic, legions had an ephemeral existence. Except for Legio I to IV, which were the consular army (two per consul), other units were levied by campaign. Rome's Italian allies were required to provide a legion to support each Roman legion. However, at the end of the 2nd century BC Marius reformed the legions to be a professional force drawing from the poorest classes, enabling Rome to field larger armies and providing employment for jobless citizens. However this put the loyalty of the soldiers in the hands of their general rather t ...

On his birth at Saint-Germain-en-Laye in 1638 his parents Louis XIII and Anne of Austria, who had been childless for twenty-three years, regarded him as a divine gift. (These circumstances have led some to postulate a different biological father for the boy, rather than Louis XIII. Anne of Austria, however, had denied these claims.) Louis came from a multicultural background since his paternal grandparents were Henry IV and Marie de' Medici, who were French and Italian. His maternal grandfather, Philip III was of Spanish descent and his mate ...
