There is a similar tax-related expression in English. As early as the fourteenth century, the King of England would call a Parliament together and request additional taxes for wars and other things. Parliament would grant "dixemes" and "quinzemes", or tenths and fifteenths, on rents and profits from the land. Sometimes, they granted multiples in the same year. The word dixeme was shortened to "disme", and eventually to "dime". Disgruntled subjects said the King should "do it on his on dime", meaning the King should pay for it himself without raising more taxes. To this day, English speakers say someone should "do it on his own dime" even though the tax is long gone and they have no idea why the expression exists.

@@Carlton-B in Canada a dime is a 10c coin so the original meaning might be lost a bit but the use is still fairly common :P

@phuck ewe Ha ha ha!

I just asked my Brazilian wife about this - you’re right,she had no idea the origins of this saying.

Snaggle Toothed No, but thank you for asking.

And you have a very important last name in the world of geology.

Eric, Thanks to @ktpinnacle’s comment here, I have become aware of James Hutton, the ‘father of modern geology’. I wonder if you are of this lineage. :) Regarding earthquake study, there is interesting work being done which looks at electric phenomena involved. Here is a YT vid giving a rough description, and below is a website that focuses on this. The main man (and YT voice) is Ben Davidson of Albuquerque, NM, USA. I catch his daily (Sun & Earth+) morning news (~4:30 Mountain Time) at kzfaq.info?app=desktop.

Yes James... ;-7

@@johnnyliminal8032 I don't know if I am of his lineage, but I am quite fascinated by geology. Such an interesting subject.

The Chinese also invented an instrument to measure the strength of an earthquake (i believe over 1000 years ago).

Not verry often i find someone shouting out the Amazon rainforest!!! Anyways, hello from the Canadian rainforests in British Columbia!

What a coincidence!

I think the History Guy could read the ingredients on a box of cereal... and keep us enthralled in every single word. He has found his true calling, I think.

The Bonesaw .. ...Haaa....I agree...Love these historical accounts from all different peoples and places. In some ways, it goes to show that humanity as a whole, has remained very much the same in some opinions....as to how and why some very normal and very natural, though rare, climatic and geological occurrences happen.

I know, right?

I heard that was extremely loud to the point of deafening some people at it's most violent, do you know if that is true?

Gordon Lawrence No, I was right in the middle of the action and had no hearing loss. To my knowledge that was not an issue for anyone. There was no ringing in the ears that indicates hearing damage.

I've about that earthquake, but never from someone who survived it.

Valdez was wiped out a Tsunami from that earthquake. My wife was in Fairbanks, over 300 miles away and felt the slow low roll. It was on Good Friday and she and her sisters were dyeing eggs with their mother. Another friend was driving his truck toward Anchorage from Wasilla and said the highway in front of him looked like waves on the ocean. He just pulled over and waited for it to pass. I think that was a 9.1 earthquake.

OMG, can’t even imagine.. I’ve experienced 3 small quakes in my lifetime but nothing like that, glad you made it through unharmed

Hi, can you please say how to find that memorial? Thanks!

"It affected Portugal and North Africa"... What about in the rest of the Iberian Peninsula??? After all they share the same land mass.

Well, given the destruction of that earthquake, most of the oldest buildings in Lisbon date from after the earthquake. It's like Tokyo, which even if you subtract out the World War II bombing raids had few buildings that predated the 1923 Great Kantō Earthquake.

Your English is perfect!

History class was the only one that did not seem like work. For me that was and still is entertainment. You are right about The History Guy. He can spin a yarn about paint drying and make it interesting.

As can Mrs. H. G.! And when she wears that bow tie.. well darn, it is hard to focus on the story.

Rightly so you should have hated history in school...a lot of it was lies and understated events that our wonderful government is trying to suppress and obfuscate...because it continues to do the same.

Right On Bro.

Absolutely on the topic list.

Hello from Raleighwood NC

Where are you now (asking for a friend)?

Palmer, AK. Yourself?

Orange County, CA. Prepared for the big one. If you head this way, give me fair warning! Good to see that the folks up there were able to get it together quickly after their quake. Lessons learned, I suppose.

There were stones set at a certain elevation in Japan along the coast warning not to build homes below that line. They were apparently ignored or forgotten.

@@magellan6108 Were you in the valley when it hit? I was at work in Anchorage when it hit and had to drive home to Wasilla in all that traffic

I've never really bought the "bad natural things happen therefore a powerful God can't be benevolent" argument. It presumes a lot of things, but primarily that: a benevolent God should always avert natural disasters, that his purposes should involve preventing bad things happening, etc. I can explain my thoughts below and would love to hear your views on it. I understand that people think this because this is the way our governments are organized, but if you really think about it, such intervention is really magical thinking and a construct. If you presume the world is natural with its own forces, then every action has a reaction. Our idea that God could step in and fix it all without natural consequences is magical thinking. Suppose a powerful God still has to act in physical ways (imagine a very powerful alien with a masterful understanding of nature and advanced methods of controlling it). If humanity had the power to stop an earthquake from occurring at a moment in time or stop bad weather phenomena, that could very easily cause worse problems down the line. It is possible that intervening would be too disruptive and that these natural hiccups are necessary. And if you say something like: "well couldn't these disasters be meted out in smaller, less destructive measures to satisfy natural congruity", then I would say, how do we know that hasn't already happened? For all we know a benevolent God could have averted lots of world-shattering disasters after the rise of humanity, including those that man would have caused. It is a logical fault to assume that just because SOME bad things happen a God never acts benevolently. If he acts to avert something horrible we wouldn't know. For all we know things like the "coincidences" that led to the Cuban missile crisis not resulting in nuclear war was the result of God's work on that Russian nuclear submarine, which was one decision short of firing. On a deeper philosophical level, it is also possible that the precedent of a God averting all bad things would be counter to his purposes as well. We don't know what his purpose is. For all we know, averting disasters could go against that purpose even though he wants the best for humanity. As an example: suppose the Christian idea that "God wants his people to grow in autonomy and become more like him (more perfect)" is true. Can people really grow if they never face hardship? Will they have the chance to practice helping each other out and being self-sacrificial if everyone is taken care of equally? After every disaster there is a surge of relief efforts, goodwill, people giving up their money and parts of their year to help out. Maybe the goal from a god's perspective is not to make human life comfortable and fair equally (a modern democratic idea), but for us to have the chance to grow, improve, and become better people individually (less selfish). The standard argument I've heard is "well that wouldn't be benevolent or fair because God let some people die", but for all we know maybe it is fair. Maybe God gives the people who died another life and chance. If people really do have immortal souls, death is not the terrible, chance-ending thing people who don't believe in an immortal soul think of it as. Anyway, I'm not saying Voltaire's logic has no merit, but like all philosophers I've read, they create false dichotomies and make the world way less complex than it really is. TLDR; In short, you can't make a claim about "benevolence/good/evil" without having a basis for distinguishing that morally. If your basis for distinguishing this is an agreed-upon societal idea of good/evil then you have to admit it is A) Arbitrary and B) Imperfect. It doesn't apply to God as he may have different purposes or even better purposes based on his greater understanding of the world and how it works. Also, the argument presupposes that God can act in the world with no physical consequences. This is magical thinking, which is false based on our understanding of physics. Every known action has a reaction, and this should include any action by a godlike being on any level of physical order. We don't know if acting to prevent a disaster wouldn't have had worse reactions. We also don't know if God hasn't averted worse world-scale disasters from affecting humanity, only letting minor ones through.

Benjamin I have heard the phrase about laws and regulations being "written in blood."

Interesting, thanks for that input. My first exposure to Goa was from the movie "The Sea Wolves" - taken from the book "The Boarding Party" which might make an interesting topic for THG to discuss. (edited to correct the name of the book)

I could be wrong, but I believe it was also invoked in WW2 when Portugal wanted to follow suit w/ Spain & stay "neutral"

​@@arachnonixonWas invoked by UK and USA, during WW2 for facilities on use the Lages Air Force base in the Azores. And the States are still using it.

The economist David Ricardo - the most influential thinker on “free trade” in the early 19th Century - used trade between UK and Portugal as his primary exemplar. Interestingly, he showed that Portugal was the lower-cost producer of textiles and wine but trade made it worthwhile for Portugal to sell Port wine and buy UK textiles. His analysis, in the face of much opposition from the landed Establishment in UK of the time, underpinned the UK’s subsequent dominance of the 19th Century economy. Portugal has been a great friend of the UK, and long before either country were in the European Union, we learned how to collaborate without abandoning our respective sovereignty.

@@matthewshaw988 David Ricardo born in London from a Portuguese family. His work about free trade is a reality today.

Your family has a palace? That's so cool.

You're 300 years old? COOL!

@@chedarmentosbrown5922 It used to be from my family and now it's not. Not sure how we lost it though. It's now called the "Palácio da Independência" or "Independence Palace". We still hold a few, I'm typing from one of them rigth now ;P Just from memory my family has 3 manors, 2 palaces and 1 "castle". edit: If you look at photos of the palace's facade, it's like you having your back turned towards the old hospital. They're separated by about 40m.

Intriguing... Chive more on family palace and the hospital rescue..... We starve for stories of good works done..

@@lourencoalmada1305 I wonder if that's history that should be remembered.

One thing we must think about, when we consider the loss of such magnificent buildings: They weren't any more "magnificent" in their day than a four-story commercial building is today. They were just their normal structures; this made it easier for them to knock down their palace because the danger to life and limb outweighed the thoughts of historic preservation. Loss of life, loss of the great libraries, those were true tragedies.

Yes, the all saints hospital manueline portal was the envy of Europe. But the greatest lost besides lifes was the royal archive of Torre do Tombo in the castle. Many of the discoveries maps were there....all forever lost. The Ribeira palace, the Opera house, the clock tower, the new Basilica and the castle tower and palace were all lost. What a pitty, LIsbon is magnificent city, imagine with all these still standing

Back Bay in Boston is a disaster waiting to happen! I really fear for my family and friends there!!

I'm not a geologist, seismologist, etc, but I do appreciate this input. History is fascinating, and it doesn't exist in a vacuum.

If you are a geologist and you believe that rubbish about the Boston quake being an "aftershock" of the Lisbon one then your education hasn't helped you much. Can seismic stress transfer along fault systems? Yes as things like the sequence of quakes along the North Anatolian Fault over recent decades have shown. How far does that stress transfer go? To ADJACENT AREAS OF THE FAULT SYSTEM. Are Boston and Lisbon adjacent to each other? No. Are Boston and Lisbon on the same fault system? No. Does Boston have any large active fault systems anywhere near it? No. A 6.0 on the US east coast would cause problems, especially given the lack of seismic protection in many of the building codes. However a 6.0 can be produced by a comparatively small fault system, as the fact that the largest earthquakes near the UK are around that level (a 6.1 at Dogger Bank in 1931 and a similar sized quake in the Straits of Dover in 1583 for example), and no one considers the UK itself to have a serious seismic threat present. Historians should ignore crackpot notions about Boston and Lisbon quakes being linked. What they should not ignore is the real potential for liquifaction of soil fill caused by a 6.0 earthquake in Boston leading to greatly enhanced damage around Boston harbour.

@@davidpnewton Op asked for an opinion not a bag of douche.

@@MtnTow the OP claims to be a geologist, which implies a certain level of education concerning earthquakes and seismology. They then launch into something so outlandish that it calls into serious question whether they actually are what they say they are. It would be like me claiming to have a chemistry degree (which I do) and then not knowing that quantum mechanics is what determines the form of the periodic table. We are not talking about something more advanced like earthquake moment tensors here. We are talking about basic geography combined with basic seismology here. It is as ridiculous as claiming a 6.0 in Boston and a 6.0 in Crescent City California are related because of similar latitude of the cities, assuming we were talking about a 6.0 aftershock in Crescent City following a Cascadia subduction zone event.

It was king José I (Joseph I). King João I (John I) ruled in the final of the 14th century.
