Enlightenment thinker known as Volney remains an overlooked figure in the history of political philosophy despite his significant contributions particularly during the formative years of the United States Volney emerged as a prominent leader in the materialistic wing of the deist movement challenging traditional religious and political structures Constantin-François Chassebœuf He was the son of Jacques-René Chassebœuf de Boisgirais who tragically passed away in 1759 when Volney was only two This early loss contributed to a troubled childhood marked by a joyless home environment and abusive experiences at school took him in and transferred him to the College d’Angers Volney had enrolled at the faculty of law there upon reaching the age of maturity and inheriting wealth The lack of parental affection had stunted his character-development though he was studious by nature and demonstrated great promise His volatile personality often led to outbursts In Paris he studied medicine and befriended Pierre Jean Georges Cabanis Volney also developed an interest in Arabic Cabanis introduced him to prominent figures of the French Enlightenment making this period crucial for Volney’s intellectual development Volney set out from Marseille on a three year journey to the Middle East It was during this period that he changed his name to Volney paying homage to his literary and intellectual hero Voltaire by combining the first syllable of that name with the final syllable of Voltaire’s estate The expedition resulted in the successful publication of Travels in Egypt and Syria (1787) which included detailed accounts of the region’s physical and social geography The Travels offered a demystified view of the East although it was tinged with typical European disdain Volney’s early work challenged the ideas of Baron de Montesquieu (1689-1755) particularly those found in The Spirit of the Laws (1748) where the Baron argued that physical factors such as climate strongly influenced the development of a society’s manners and institutions contended that while climate influenced government and culture not a determining one in societal development Volney became acquainted with Thomas Jefferson with whom he maintained a close friendship and long correspondence throughout his life Volney published his second major historical work a philosophical study that contrasted the vigor of the westernizing Russian state with the enfeebled condition of the Ottoman Empire In this work Volney warned of the difficulties associated with acquiring overseas colonies which he argued led to a vicious cycle of luxurious consumption and financially debilitating military burdens He also advocated for improving and cultivating France’s fertile lands In the same year Volney also edited a polemical anti-aristocratic newspaper publishing five issues between November and December This brought him to the attention of political figures and he was named the Director of Agriculture on the island of Corsica he was elected to the Third Estate of the Estates-General a legislative assembly in pre-revolutionary France composed of representatives from the three estates: the clergy Here he became known for his radical political views Volney published The Ruins: Meditations on the Revolutions of Empires as it embodies Enlightenment ideas influenced by social contract theorists and deist philosophy while employing a structure reminiscent of romantic fantasies It is a major critique of traditional forms of government in both church and state presented with considerable literary flair in the form of a dream-tale set in the Near East of 1784 during Volney’s travels in the Middle East He falls asleep in the ruins of Palmyra and receives a revelation from a genie What follows are meditations on government the emergence of parasitic classes both aristocratic and ecclesiastical and the competing claims of different religions to a monopoly on truth – all framed in a vivid allegory of revolutionary transformation Volney’s semi-poetic presentation of his philosophical arguments combining deistic philosophy with literary elements that appealed to Romantics Perhaps the book can best be described as a study in what would today be called ‘comparative religion’ Its central thesis is that all religions are products of their geographical and thus are contingent on both historical and temporal factors Volney also argues that no particular creed has a monopoly on universal and immutable truth each religion is relative to its own time and place The purpose of The Ruins was to identify the core beliefs and establish a religion worthy of human reason hoping to live a life of agrarian improvement local hostility towards outsiders thwarted his plans That year he published the second part of his manifesto: The Law of Nature presented in the form of a catechism or list of ideas outlines the legal framework entrusted to the legislator at the end of The Ruins Volney emulated fellow Enlightenment philosophers who used the catechism format to promote their naturalistic ethics this work lacks Voltairean satire and adopts a serious tone although Volney does criticize Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s (1712-78) idealization of the primitive state Volney’s politics increasingly diverged from those of the French Revolution’s ascendant Jacobins leading to his arrest and a ten month imprisonment during the Reign of Terror Despite accusations of civil debts related to his Corsican property as The Ruins is a classic statement of the deist position – he survived and was released after Robespierre’s fall where he was appointed to the École Normale later published in 1800 as a manual for teaching history: Lectures on History explained various historiographical abuses Volney argued for the necessity of understanding mathematics and geography before studying history emphasized the probabilistic nature of historical findings – demonstrating the influence of John Locke (1632-1704) – and contended that local history should precede broader studies He also warned against radicals who idolized the Ancients arguing that ancient models were irrelevant to modern economic In 1795 Volney also published On the Simplification of Oriental Languages proposing a new approach to transliteration between the Arabic and European alphabets This was not merely a linguistic interest; a universal alphabet could foster transparency between civilizations and promote the triumph of reason over religious superstition after the closure of the École Normale A year later he travelled across the country ultimately reaching Thomas Jefferson’s home at Monticello in Virginia This journey exposed Volney to a variety of social groups he observed a desperate community of French settlers descending into a rudimentary state of misery and poor health – far from the idyllic primitive life described by Rousseau He dined with Bonaparte at Napoleon’s house on the rue de la Victoire just days before the coup of 18 Brumaire which brought Napoleon to power The coup was seen as a means of safeguarding the gains of the revolution from the excesses of Jacobinism and Royalism While Napoleon sought to stabilize the revolution he turned towards the old order instead of reaching out to the people and republicans This compromise with the discredited ancien régime was a significant disappointment for Volney In 1803 Volney published On the Climate and Soil of the United States of America focusing on physical geography and social institutions His remarks on Native Americans reiterated his rejection of Rousseau’s belief in an original human state of virtuous happiness Instead Volney observed the American wilderness as a combination of poverty So Rousseau’s speculations on the state of nature faltered in the face of Volney’s empirical investigations of actual primitive societies In 1808 Napoleon made Volney a count (Comte) But his literary pursuits continued unabated In 1813-14 he released a scathing critique of the supernatural claims of Christianity in New Researches on Ancient History he readdressed his interest in language and the reconciliation of European and Middle Eastern alphabets with The European Alphabet Applied to the Languages of Asia Although he had some sympathies for this movement especially in contrast to Napoleon’s coup he took a critical stance when in 1819 Louis XVIII announced his intention of being anointed with holy oil in which he ridiculed this practice as an absurd ritual from a primeval age of savagery and superstition leaving behind a legacy of international renown Volney emerged as a seminal figure in the intellectual landscape of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution His life was marked by a relentless pursuit of knowledge and a profound commitment to rationalist philosophy and his keen observations on various cultures challenged traditional religious and political structures advocating for a deist perspective and a rationalist approach to human institutions marked by empirical rigor and philosophical insight offer valuable perspectives that warrant greater

X — When preparing the town's budget for 2024 Volney Supervisor Garry Stanard added two percent to the 2023 budgeted appropriations He did so without looking at any actual expenditures and his colleagues on the town board never checked the math It's just one of multiple glaring problems caught in the New York State Comptroller's audit of the town's financials revealing the possibility that neighbors are not paying the correct amount in taxes According to a spokesperson for Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli's office Volney's last audit was more than 20 years ago The comptroller's team sought a deeper dive after noticing town officials failed to submit legally required Annual Financial Reports (AFR) for fiscal years 2021 Stanard in addition to his predecessor did not maintain financial accounting records or present them to the board While board members were not provided with the right financial information the audit found that they were seemingly fine with approving state budgets It meant that for fiscal years 2023 and 2024 the approved budgets were not based on any solid data not taking into account the results of the prior-year's operations the Supervisor and Board made significant financial decisions arbitrarily including the annual tax levy to fund Town operations without meaningful information to base or support their decisions," the comptroller's team concluded in the audit released on Monday it means they don't know if the taxes that are asked of them are appropriate to maintain town operations It's possible the tax amounts are smaller than necessary; it's also possible people are over paying Hardworking people like Shiloh Lorraine are less than impressed "Things should change around there and we should get the money back that was lost to us," Lorraine said Ariane Hamblin-Smith and Brad Chesbro did not respond to CNY Central's request for comment Stanard's office eventually directed our team to attorney Graham Seiter who gave us a firm "no comment." In the town's response included in the audit both the supervisor and the board acknowledged and accepted the conclusions of the comptroller's office the supervisor pledged to define the town bookkeeper's duties and ensure monthly reports are delivered to the board The supervisor has also hired a forensic accountant to ensure outstanding AFR reports are submitted to the state they have pledged to accept and read the monthly financial reports and "adopt an annual budget based on historical operations and reasonable estimates of revenues and expenses," indicating this has not been the norm The board also states that members will attend "applicable training sessions" to perform financial duties The spokesperson for the comptroller's office told CNY Central that the types of financial failures in Volney are not uncommon across the state Volney “Lew” Bramwell was born August 1 He was the youngest of four children born to Lloyd and Mary (Potter) Bramwell Lew moved with his family from Colorado to Windyville where he lived on the family century farm and attended Lone Rock Elementary Lew graduated from Englewood High School in the class of 1948 graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree in 1953 Lew was a Christian and had accepted Christ as his Savior early in life Lew was united in marriage to Julia Belle Sellars Lew and Julia were blessed with three children: Chris which brought a smile to all who heard them His mind remained sharp throughout his later years Lew worked professionally in Colorado and in Springfield Later he became the owner and operator of Bramwell general store he also maintained the farm and raised his family and following his favorite sports teams- but his greatest enjoyment was spending time with his children and grandchildren This was a very difficult time for the family; however God blessed Lew again later in life with a wonderful relationship with Grace Wright They enjoyed several loving years together Grace and her family brought so much love and joy to Lew’s life Grace was there to comfort and care for him until the time of his passing Lew was preceded in death by his parents; one brother Sidney Bramwell; two sisters OK and Charles “Chuck” Bramwell and (wife Etta Bramwell) of Windyville Missouri;  Lew is survived by four grandchildren Matthew Bramwell (wife Annie) and Brooke Sneed (husband Phillip) and Laura McAvoy (mother of Matthew and Brooke) Jake Harter and Ryan Harter and Stan Harter (father of Jake and Ryan) Amanda Anderson (Brian); step-great grandchildren Adeline and Odin Anderson; and special companion along with her daughter Amy and son Douglas Service for Lew will be 12:00 noon on Saturday at Greenlawn Funeral Home South Chapel in Springfield Your name will appear next to the candle you light.Your condolence may need to be approved before it appears on this page It may not appear immediately once submitted Upload attachment  (Allowed file types: jpg Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" It looks as though you’ve already said that!' + ' Your condolence may need to be approved before it appears on this page Thank you for leaving a condolence..Your comment has been submitted for moderation Volney “Lew” Bramwell was born August 1, 1930, in Littleton, CO.

etiquette training is the manner in which one handles situations to seating rules and even to appropriate dining skills Displaying these etiquette skills is truly a mark of distinction,” Mohan-Volney said Whether dining with friends in a casual setting or dining in a formal setting Your elbows should be kept off the table to avoid slouching and prevent unwanted food stains The Christmas season into the new year and Carnival is usually a hectic time for Mohan-Volney as she there are lots of family gatherings corporate events and other festivities and celebrations She said although she enjoys all her training sessions the July 2022 session when she collaborated with the First Lady of Dominica Melissa Skerrit to train over 200 primary school students in Dominica Jungle Bay and picturesque Fort Young Hotels she hosted a Children’s Fine Dining training event at Hyatt Regency She said while many people were doubtful she would get enough participants “It was truly a dignified and memorable experience for all the children in attendance This particular event remains close to my heart as it was described as my ‘Marquee event’ by my late husband who sadly passed away just four weeks after.” Another memorable event for Mohan-Volney came in 2023 when she offered her first adult fine dining training event at Krave Restaurant and a truly successful training event as reported by those in attendance,” she said And in March when she hosted the delegates of the Mrs Universe TT pageant “All delegates explored the rudiments of dining including the traditional customs of Europe and the far East Many skills were taught and well received by the delegates.” she believes that etiquette training has room to grow in TT She advocates for integrating such programmes into schools’ post-SEA and post-CSEC curricula “Corporate bodies or even past students or PTA’s can sponsor the graduating class at a school of their choice,” she suggested Table arranged by Tricia Mohan-Volney shows arrangement of plates and flatware “Corporate bodies can also include this type of training as part of their corporate fine tuning Many of those who hold high positions can hardly hold their knives and forks with perfection…sadly so,” she noted “Etiquette training has quite a long way to go in TT if we are interested in transitioning to first world status.” Mohan-Volney plans to expand her reach to Tobago and the wider Caribbean “Etiquette is a much-needed life skill in today’s world,” she said cultured and well-mannered are at the top of this list it can prevent embarrassing situations by building self-confidence socially “Whether dining with friends in a casual setting or dining in a formal setting Sitting upright is critical for digestion and this allows gravity to naturally push your food to your stomach and reduces the chance of accidental choking whilst swallowing “Feet should be kept flat on the ground and back straight Food should always come up to your mouth and you should never slouch down to your food It goes without saying that your mouth should remain closed whilst chewing” she stated Conversations should be light and pleasant and kept among those seated closest to you It is important to note that the way we choose to behave while dining says a great deal about ourselves and our attitudes and this greatly affects the way others perceive us.” tablets and other devices should be muted and kept off the table,” she advised an exception may be made depending on the particular setting involved it may be permitted but should be cleared by the host/hostess of the event.” Fold the napkin in half and place the folded side against you Napkins should be used at all times but should never be used to blow your nose tuck into your shirt or even clean your cutlery The only time the napkin makes its way back to the table is when you are ready to leave the table it should be casually placed on the table in front of you.” “Cutlery placed at your table setting can be very daunting Keep in mind that the table would be set in anticipation of the meal that is to be served The outermost silverware is for the first course and use of the cutlery moves inwards towards your dinner plate for every course thereafter Ensure that the cutlery is firmly held with the fork in your left hand and knife in the right hand; this is known as the Continental style of dining The tines of the fork are kept downwards throughout your dining Hold the fork firmly with your index finger at the back of the fork and at the back of the knife between the handle and the blade cutlery is placed on your plate with the handles kept apart rest your cutlery diagonally in the 10-4 clock position This indicates to the wait staff that you are finished and ready to proceed to the next course.” (TSXV: ROAR) (FSE: KGB) (the "Company" or "Lion Rock") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the "LOI") with Tinton Partners LLC

Business Journal Daily | The Youngstown Publishing Company Ohio – As the prosperity of the early 20th century brought with it increased air particularly in the Mahoning River Corridor once referred to Mill Creek MetroParks as the city’s “great breathing spot.” The park founded by Volney Rogers in 1891 was the subject of the Mahoning Valley Historical Society’s Bites and Bits of History lunch program Thursday afternoon “One of the appeals of Mill Creek Park was that most of the park was sufficiently removed from this polluted area,” Shale said ‘One person can make a difference.’ [Volney Rogers] really made a difference.” the more he thinks Rogers was a man 50 to 100 years ahead of his time Rogers was a man of remarkable vision and imagination “The scenery is extraordinary,” said Ray Novotny a retired outdoor education manager at Mill Creek It’s a slice of nature preserved and enhanced After graduating from New Lisbon High School he got a job streaming telegraph wire on the Pittsburgh Baltimore Turnpike Rogers’ career in law brought him to Youngstown and he opened his practice in 1872 How Rogers came to establish the park is something of an urban legend Rogers rode south on horseback from the confluence of Mill Creek and the Mahoning River to Lanterman’s Falls he discovered the “scenic beauty” that would become Mill Creek Park “I’ve heard this story told all over the place [Rogers] may have actually taken this ride but I’m skeptical that this was the first time he had seen the scenic beauty He was living an easy walk from the creek.” the state of Ohio did not have any legal mechanism to create a park There were no state or township parks and creating a city park was out of the question because Mill Creek was outside of the city limits Rogers proposed a law to state legislators that would create such a mechanism to establish the type of park he had in mind Rogers also brought a petition supporting the proposed law signed by a number of residents including Chauncey Andrews – Youngstown’s first millionaire – and several members of the Stambaugh The Ohio General Assembly passed Rogers’ law Feb 12 that year and to avoid any objection from other townships Rogers stipulated in his law that it would apply only to Ohio townships with a population of 35,066 people “There was only one such township in the state of Ohio and we’re living in it,” he said “The people of Youngstown overwhelmingly – by a three-to-one margin – approved this park plan and agreed to finance it with a tax levy Thus was born Ohio’s first township park.” While some still believe what Rogers did helped preserve a beautiful piece of natural scenery Shale contends that is more myth than fact planned and constructed by Rogers with the help of some nationally prominent landscape architects,” Shale said “He had the vision and it was up to him and people who went to work for him to create that vision out of what was there.” Bites and Bits of History lunch programs are offered
