A. Much of the debate around the Renaissance has centered around whether the Renaissance truly was an "improvement" on the culture of the Middle Ages. Both Michelet and Burckhardt were keen to describe the progress made in the Renaissance towards the "modern age". Burckhardt likened the change to a veil being removed from man's eyes, allowing him to see clearly. On the other hand, many historians now point out that most of the negative social factors popularly associated with the "medieval" period - poverty, warfare, religious and political persecution, for example - seem to have worsened in this era which saw the rise of Machiavelli, the Wars of Religion, the corrupt Borgia Popes, and the intensified witch-hunts of the 16th century.

How can my daughter who lives in France cash in a cheque in Sterling?
Q. My daughter lives in France and has recently received a cheque in Sterling. She cannot pay it into her bank. Is there anyway she could endorse it and send it to me so that I could pay it into my bank for her when she eventually visits me?

A. You should be able to cash a sterling check in France at a bank at which she has an account, all be it at a cost. It would also take time. If the bank is refusing then she needs to insist. If she sends the cheque back to the sender would they transfer the money to a designated bank by a BACCS transfer? I had this done in France when my money was stolen when on holiday. It cost me and took about 5 days for the transfer to be completed.

How many human lives will it take to equal the cost of redesigning jet engine tech. too eliminate FOD intake ?
Q. It's been argued that installing a screening technology to the front of commercial jet engines would restrict too much air intake for the engines to operate efficiently and also the cost of doing so would be to much of a cost burden to the industry in today's markets where Money represents everything. What then can be said for the price equal to one human life, 1000 lives, 10,000 lives ? How many is enough to justify redesigning 50 year old technology ?

A. you silly. either you have a good flow and a risc of occasional FOD, OR you have a safe intake and constantly separated flow on compressors due to low flow through the engine. If you have a mesh fine enough while strong enough to withstand -say- a swan, it would get stucked with dust, and insects, and icing. if it's not fine enough, parts of birds would penetrate (not to speak of metal or mineral FOD) you CANNOT have both good flow AND FOD eliminated. why not have PEOPLE'S brains redesigned so that people would start following the raffic rules and limited speed... Cars are way more dangerous than aircraft. well.. humans driving those cars are, actually
