The Visigoths
The Visigoths were the western tribe of the Goths (whether Visi- means west is highly doubted by many scholars and, more importantly, by me. Where is the -t in 'west', I have never seen any form of the word (cognate) for west without a final -t except it very recently developed Afrikaans.
I have never seen any vowel other than e, ä, æ, rarely, ee, never

European Absolutism And Power Politics
PUBLISHED BY KENNETH S. DOIG
Absolutism
L'Etat, C'Est Moi
Date: 1998
(from The International World History Project Website)
Introduction
Louis XIV (1643-1715) of France is remembered best as a strong-willed monarch who reportedly once exclaimed to his fawning courtiers, "L'etat, c'est moi" (I am the state). Whether or not he really said these words, Louis has been regarded by historians as the typical absolute monarch - a symbol of his era. Similarly, historians have often referred to this period, when kings dominated their states and waged frequent dynastic wars against one another as an age of absolutism.

"TEDxCambridge : George Church on genomics and human-diversity"
PUBLISHED BY KENNETH S. DOIG
(from "race/history/evolution notes")
"George
Church considers recent advances in genomics and personalized medicine and asks:
as we seek to eliminate disorders like schizophrenia and dyslexia, or even rare
genetic diseases, how should we think about preserving human diversity?"
Slide at 7:20:
"Rare [does not necessarily equal] Deleterious
MSTN: Lean muscles
LRP5: Extra-strong bones
PCSK9: Greatly reduced risk of heart disease
CCR5: Virus-resistance
Embrace the extremes: informative, easy, powerful"
Conclusion: "So anyway we and others are sequencing these long-lived animals and humans and we hope this will be part of a bigger project to measure and design humans going forward."
