on: 19 of them are related to England’s Edward III, who has 2000 blood connections to Prince Charles.

The same goes with the banking families in America. George Bush and Barbara Bush are from the same bloodline the Pierce bloodline, which changed its name from Percy, when it crossed the Atlantic. Percy is one of the aristocratic families of Britain, to this day.

They were involved in the Gunpowder Plot to blow up Parliament at the time of Guy Fawkes” —

Researcher/ Author David Icke, “Alice in Wonderland and The World Trade Center Disaster”

If America declared its Independence from the European monarchies in 1776, how is it possible that every single president has descended from European monarchs?

If presidents are democratically elected as we are told, what are the odds that wehas kinship with every member of the British royal family and the House of Windsor.

He is related to 20 British Dukes, the 13th cousin of Britain’s Queen Mother, and of her daughter Queen Elizabeth. He is 13th cousin once removed from Prince Charles and has direct descent from King Henry III, Charles II, and Edward I of England.

Through the House of Windsor and King Henry III, the Bush’s and Clinton’s are genetically related as well.

“According to Burke’s Peerage, even according to the official genealogy, Bill Clinton is genetically related to the House of Windsor, the present royal family in Britain; to every Scottish monarch; to King Henry III of England; and to Robert I of France.” — David Icke, “Alice in Wonderland and the World Trade Center”

In 2004


George W. Bush ran as a “Republican” against “Democrat” John Forbes Kerry – his 16th cousin. These cousins, related to the same British and French monarchs, are also secret society brothers in the infamous Skull and Bones fraternity. John Kerry descends from King Henry II of England and Richard the Lionheart, leader of the third Christian crusade in 1189.

He also has links to royalty in Albania, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Russia, Persia, and France, but still not enough royal genes to top George Bush.

Earlier in 2000 we see the same story George W. Bush ran neck and neck with Al Gore; another supposed democrat and cousin of the Bush family.

“Al Gore is a descendant of Edward I, Roman Emperors Louis I, II, and Charles II and is direct descendantof Charlemagne which makes him a distant cousin of Richard Nixon and George W. Bush. So the top “democratic” candidates against Bush in 2000 and 2004 were actually his cousins!” Michael Tsarion, “Where History Ends DVD”

“Never in the history of the United States have two presidential candidates been as well endowed with royal alliances.

There has always been a significant “royal factor,” in those who aspired to the White House, with Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan, among others, all boasting blue blood links.

“Al Gore… a descendant of Edward I, he is also a cousin of former U.S. President Richard Nixon, who resigned from the White House in 1974 for his part in the Watergate scandal.

However, Al Gore does have direct links to


England’s King Henry III, who reigned from 1227 to 1273, and US Presidents William Henry and Benjamin Harrison …

Clinton has far more royal blood than Dole and is directly descended from the same bloodline as the House of Windsor, every Scottish monarch, and King Robert I of France. This is why he was the Brotherhood’s choice.” — David Icke, “The Biggest Secret” (191-192)

The Windsor-Bush bloodline reaches from the American presidents, back to British/European royalty, and it doesn’t stop there.

It continues back through Roman emperors, all the way to Babylonian Kings and Egyptian Pharaohs near the beginning of recorded history.

From Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI, the French line continues back through Louis XVI, Charles XII, Henry IV, Philip VI, Robert II and many other French monarchs.

It passes thede Medici family, specifically Queen Catherine de Medici of France, who supported Columbus’ expedition to the “New World” along with bloodline Queen Isabella of Castile, King Ferdinand of Spain, and the House of Lorraine.

It was also Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand who started the 350 year Spanish Inquisition, which ordered the murder of millions who refused to convert to Christianity.

And from the House of Lorraine, Duke Godfroi de Bouillon became the first Crusader King of Jerusalem.

“Father George and wife Barbara [Bush] are both descendants of Godfroi de Bouillon who, in 1099, led European noblemen in the successful Crusade to recapture Jerusalem from the Islamic faith and moved into the King’s palace at Temple Mount … Godfroi de Bouillon was the first king of Jerusalem and the Duke of


Lower Lorraine, a major region for the Illuminati bloodline …

So when George W. Bush, a descendant of the de Bouillon through his mother and father, talked of a “Crusade” against “Islamic” terrorism…this was no slip of the tongue…as was reported”. — David Icke “Alice In Wonderland and the World Trade Center Disaster”

The British line goes back from Prince William and Harry, through Prince Charles and Princess Diana, to Queen Elizabeth II, King George VI and V, King Edward VII, Queen Victoria, King Edward III, II, I, and King George III, II, I.

Then it passes through King James I who ordered and financed the now mostwidely read version of the Bible.

Before James came Mary Stuart, King Henry III, II, I, King John (signer of the Magna Carta) and backto the Plantagenet and Habsburg dynasties under the Roman Empire.

Other branches carried the bloodline to Scotland, Austria, Germany, Spain, Sweden and even Mexico:

“This same bloodline also includes key Scottish families like the Lords of Galloway and the Comyns; MarieLouise of Austria, who married Napoleon Bonaparte; Kaiser Wilhelm II, the king of Germany at the time of the First World War; and Maximilian, the Habsburg emperor of Mexico, who died in 1867.

On and on it goes into country after country. This bloodline connects into every surviving royal family in Europe, including King Juan Carlos of Spain and the Dutch, Swedish, and Danish royal lines.” — David Icke, “The Windsor-Bush Bloodline”

Before the Habsburgs, the House of Lorraine and Charlemagne were the Merovingians (Meroveus/ Merovee) who originally brought the bloodline to


France and Northwest Europe.

Back in 4th century Rome the bloodline passed through Emperor Constantine, the first professed Christian emperor who initiated the Roman Empire’s transition into a Christian State and presided over the first Council of Nicaea.

He was preceded by the Roman Piso family whom will be discussed later. Before them came Herod the Great of Biblical fame and Ptolemy XIV, son of the most well-known Roman emperor Julius Caesar.

Caesar actually married into the bloodline through Cleopatra, the most well-known Egyptian Queen.

A little further down this very same bloodline brings us to Alexander the Great:

“One common link in this bloodline is Philip of Macedonia (382-336 BC), who married Olympias, and their son was Alexander the Great (356-323 BC), a tyrant who plundered that key region of Greece, Persia,anywhere except to the front porch, the creek, the gas station for candy and maybe to the lake to swim if she were lucky. Her sister June wouldn’t be going either. But June had Maggie and Maggie’s mom Charlene who was generous and responsible; she’d pick June up and bring her over to their house for the day, feed her, and sometimes even give her clothes.

Smack!

Gem struck a mosquito on her exposed thigh. Her legs were bruised. Scabs decorated her knees like a relief map, little brown islands on a white sea of skin.

Both girls had birthdays this month. Gem would be turning ten and her little sister June, nine. They were Irish twins, born twelve months apart. They left their father when they were just babies, or


maybe their father left them. The story changed every time their mother told it.

Charlene beeped the horn of her rusted Buick as she turned onto 5th Street. All the windows in the car were wide open and neither Maggie nor June wore seatbelts. Charlene blasted the radio and sang along to “Eye of the Tiger,” while smoke from her cigarette swirled through the car. Both girls slid across the long backseat as she took the corner. They were too wrapped up in their Pretty Ponies to notice. Charlene beeped again once she was in front of the house and Gem sat up on the railing. The world swung at a dangerous angle so she locked her thighs around the railing and pushed one sneakered toe between the rungsthat those were qualities adults desired from her and her sister, so she put them on like ill-fitting clothes in their presence and shrugged them off as soon as they were out of earshot. Charlene never questioned why it was always Gem taking care of June and the one to give permission. She didn’t ask questions about their mother; she’d heard it all in town. The woman was a deadbeat—too wrapped up in herself to take care of her own.

“Have fun?” Gem asked June as she marched up the steps. June stepped gingerly on the third one because it was rotten in the middle and a heavy foot on the suspect step could easily crash through it. Her dirty pink bag with the long strings was thrown over


her shoulder. A stripe of sunburn swept across her nose and cheeks. Her lips were chapped and her hair was tangled.

“Did Charlene feed you lunch?” Gem asked. June was a quiet kid, not much of a talker. She nodded instead. Gem wanted to ask her what she’d eaten but she was afraid of making herself hungry. June liked kid food. Mac ‘n’ cheese, Spaghetti-Os, grilled cheese on Wonder bread, crinkle cut potato chips, even hot dogs. Luckily, those were the kinds of things Charlene usually fed her. Gem, on the other hand, had a taste for real food. She rarely got it.

Gem slid down to the floor, where June sat and emptied out her bag. She had treasures from Maggie’s house. Some marbles, a few Pretty Ponies, theirhair braided and twisted in a tangle of elastic bands. There was a Jolly Rancher that looked like it had been sucked on once and then slipped back into the wrapper.

“Mom home?” June asked her.

“Nope,” Gem answered. Their mother Anne was out most of the time. She worked a lot, she got lost, she met men and forgot she had kids at home, or at least that’s what Gem and June deduced from her behavior. They sat on the porch brushing through the pony’s hair, stretching their legs out to the railing, both of their backs up against the house.

“Want to jump rope?” June asked. She pulled a wound-up jump rope out of her backpack. The girls stood and stretched their arms and backs, sauntered down the steps


a Jolly Rancher in the middle of her tongue. Gem was too tired to care. She counted to fourteen and June stumbled.

with a double-double in a Landmark Conference win over Goucher as
his 28 points moved him past the 1,000-point mark for his career,
making him the first men’s basketball player with 1,000
points playing solely as a member of the Landmark Conference. He
also had 13 rebounds in the win over Goucher, while also adding a
steal. Earlier in the week he scored 19 points and grabbed five

The Sheriffhales Roman Coin Hoard was unearthed by detectorist Terry Hayward in August 2009. The 86 bronze coins were discovered in a field near Newport along with 21 bits of broken pottery.

Only the base of the pot remained intact because of damage caused by ploughing.

The earliest coin recovered dates from the reign of the emperor Vespasian (AD69-79) and the latest from the reign of the emperor Antoninus Pius (AD138-161).

The coins and pot will go on display from Saturday at the Heritage Centre, Newport.

Centre spokesman Julian Meeson said: "This will be the first time all of the Roman artefacts found with the hoard will have been together since it was examined by experts at the British Museum.

"Although the hoard is not of great financial value – the British Museumvalued it at between £250 and £300 – it is historically priceless."

Meanwhile, an exhibition of colour photographs from Newport's Serck Audco Engineering Works is now back on display.

The photos show men and women at work at the valve-making firm.

In its heyday Serck Audco employed almost 1,200 people before it was closed in 1999.

Mr Meeson added: "If anyone has photographs of the foundry in operation or employees working within the foundry, then the Newport History Society would be grateful if it could make copies of them for its historical record and for display."

The Heritage Centre is next to the Guildhall in High Street and is open on Saturdays from 10am to 2pm.

The centre has attracted more than 1,000 visitors since it opened its doors last year.


Grammy-winning rock quartet Tool established themselves as one of America's most enduring and unpredictable acts with their ever-evolving brand of muscular but mind-altering sonics, wry sense of humor, and mystical aesthetic that attracted a cult-like following of devoted fans with just a handful of albums spread across decades. Their greatest breakthrough was to meld dark underground metal with the ambition of art rock, crafting multi-sectioned, layered songs as if they were classical composers. While embracing the artsy, they also paid musical homage to the relentlessly bleak visions of grindcore, death metal, and thrash. Even with their post-punk influences, they executed their music with the aesthetic of prog rock, alternating between long, detailed instrumental interludes and lyrical rants in their songs. Debuting in the early '90s with Undertow, theywere initially lumped in with the nu-metal contemporaries of the time, which made them a hit on rock radio with their sophomore effort, 1996's Ænima. However, they would soon break away from those associations, evolving beyond the confines of traditional song structures and song lengths, crafting epics that often clocked in past the ten-minute mark on 2000s head-trips Lateralus and 10,000 Days. After a lengthy 13-year hiatus, they returned to the fold in 2019 with their fifth opus, the chart-topping, Grammy-nominated Fear Inoculum.

Formed in Los Angeles by percussionist Danny Carey, guitarist Adam Jones, vocalist Maynard James Keenan, and original bassist Paul D'Amour, Tool had a knack for conveying the strangled, oppressive angst that the alternative nation of the early '90s claimed as its own, which helped them slip


into the scene during the post-Nirvana era. Buffered by a prime slot on the third Lollapalooza tour in 1993, their debut full-length album, Undertow (Zoo Entertainment), rocketed to platinum status. Fervor for the band even resurrected their first effort, 1992's Opiate EP, on the Billboard charts. While they were in the studio recording a follow-up, D'Amour amicably parted ways with Tool and his spot was filled by Justin Chancellor. By the time the fresh quartet delivered their sophomore album, Ænima, in late 1996, the alternative rock mainstream was ready. The album shot to number two on the Billboard charts and was certified multi-platinum in less than a decade. Singles "Stinkfist," "Forty Six & 2," and the Grammy-winning title track were all Top Ten hits on the U.S. Rockchart, boosted by the twisted and often disturbing music videos created by Jones. After a co-headlining slot with Korn on Lollapalooza '97, Tool remained on the road, supporting Ænima into the next year.

As nu-metal established its mainstream dominance at the close of the decade, Tool returned to the shadows. During their hiatus, Keenan formed a side project with former Tool guitar tech Billy Howerdel. A Perfect Circle debuted in 2000, and their album Mer de Noms was a surprise hit. Their ensuing tour was a sold-out success as well, which only served to fuel Tool breakup rumors. To quell the speculation, they issued the stopgap B-sides/DVD set Salival late the same year. Meanwhile, in the studio, the band continued to journey down a new path that further distanced


them from the mainstream. Delving deeper into their own mythos, songs grew longer, lyrics more inscrutable, and artwork increasingly psychedelic. Though they retained their pummeling, metal-oriented base, the quartet smashed the formula by further experimenting with complex time signatures, expansive atmospherics, and a classical approach to song compositions. The first taste of 21st century Tool arrived in January 2001 with the Grammy-winning single, "Schism," which was also their first song to chart on the Hot 100. Lateralus (Volcano) arrived that May, topping the Billboard 200. Subsequent singles "Parabola" and "Lateralus" were favorites on the U.S. Rock charts, and the album soon went multi-platinum.

After another several-year sabbatical -- during which time Keenan bounced back to A Perfect Circle -- the group returned with another chart-topper, 2006's 10,000 Days. Theirmost esoteric statement yet, the album spawned the singles "Vicarious," "Jambi," and U.S. Mainstream Rock number one "The Pot." Although it was also the band's lowest-selling effort to date, the record still managed to win the group their third Grammy Award for Best Recording Package. At the conclusion of touring, Tool began another extended hiatus. Although the band re-emerged for a brief summer tour in 2009, it would be another ten years before fans could hear new music. During this period, Keenan debuted his de facto solo project, Puscifer, and returned for a third album with A Perfect Circle. Behind the scenes, the band was also bogged down by a lawsuit that wouldn't be resolved until 2015. The next year, shaking off the cobwebs, Tool returned to the


road for another quick jaunt in the U.S., kicking off another cycle of speculation from fans starved for new material.

After an interminable 13-year gap between albums, Tool returned in 2019 with their epic fifth album, Fear Inoculum. Their third straight chart-topper, the set also featured their second Hot 100 placement to date, the ten-minute title track, which became the longest song to ever appear on that chart. Meanwhile, for the first time, Tool made their entire discography available for streaming; this propelled all of their past albums back to the charts, breaking records in the process. They embarked on a sold-out arena tour of the U.S. alongside Killing Joke and capped their successful comeback with a pair of Grammy nominations for "7empest" and "Fear Inoculum." The former trackexperiences drawn from case study research for the project. It has been adapted to be displayed on multiple types of platform, from a single screen to a film with surround sound, and an interactive version.

The girl in the film hopes to make a better life for herself and ultimately make her family proud. Once trafficked, she is caught in a spiral of violence and abuse. Even when she escapes, she cannot go home because of the shame she feels she’s brought to her family. As one survivor described it during our research, it is like the “body being separated from the soul”.

The film gradually unfurls into an exploration of the trust created by some men’s use of the “lover boy” technique. These men use a number of tactics


Liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma: impact of the MELD allocation system and predictors of survival.
Since February 27, 2002, patients with early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have received priority for liver transplantation in the United States under the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) allocation system. We aimed to determine the impact of this system on liver transplantation for HCC. Data were provided by the United Network for Organ Sharing on 19,404 first-time, cadaveric, adult liver transplantations performed in the United States between 2002 and 2007 and 15,906 performed between 1997 and 2002, an equal-duration period immediately preceding the MELD allocation system. In 1997-2002, 4.6% of liver transplant recipients had HCC compared with 26% in 2002-2007, the majority of whom received "HCC-MELD-exceptions" allowing expedited transplantation.

Tsetse flies are obligate haematophagous insects, meaning both male and female flies survive purely on a diet of blood. Through their bite, infected flies are capable of transmitting the single-celled protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei which causes African Sleeping Sickness (or African Trypanosomiasis) in humans and Nagana in cattle. Through a program of control and surveillance the incidence of human trypanosomiasis has dropped from a peak of nearly 500000 new cases in 1997 to the current level of about 50000 new cases of trypanosomiasis per year in the 36 countries of sub-saharan Africa where the Tsetse fly resides. The economic cost in lost revenue to the African continent due to the effects of nagana on livestock is estimated at US$4.5billion per year.

2. Pregnancy

About 7-9 days after emergence a single fertilized egg is implanted in the female's uterus. The embryo develops inside the female's body, hatches, and the larva completes its full growth cycle in the uterus.

Whilst within the abdominal cavity, the larva is fed on a secretion from a specialised milk gland which is deposited close to the head of the larva so that it canejection of under-developed larvae that are unable to successfully transform into viable pupae.

3. Parturition (birth of the larva)

In the wild, the female Tsetse fly searches for a suitable place to give birth to the larva, usually an area of sheltered, loose, sandy soil. The birthing process is started by massaging the abdomen with the hind legs. The larva is born tail first, with the hard, black polypneustic lobes emerging from the vulva first, preceded by a droplet of clear liquid.

Once the polypneustic lobes are clear of the vulva the rest of the birth proceeds very rapidly and is usually completed in about 5-10 seconds.

Contractions of the larva's body akin to a backwards crawling movement, help the female expel the larva.

With a final push from the hind legs the


larva is free...

A few seconds after giving birth the female flies away. At 25°C the female Tsetse fly is capable of producing a larva every 7-9 days.

Immediately after being born, the larva begins to crawls in search of a suitable place to pupate, usually by burrowing underground in the loose, sandy soil. It moves via successive contractions of its body segments that move in a wave down the length of its body starting at the head and working their way back towards the polypneustic lobes.

Investigators have identified at least 15 individuals that "we're taking a serious look at," the official told CNN, indicating some of them were identified on the video.

Ultimately, the official said, "we will get indictments, but it's not possible to put a timetable on it."

An independent review released in December found that "systemic failures and leadership and management deficiencies" at the State Department left security at the Benghazi consulate "grossly inadequate" when suspected Islamic militants attacked the American mission on September 11.

A State Department official in charge of diplomatic security resigned after the report came out, and three others have been placedGraham said in a statement issued by his office. "It is imperative we understand who changed the talking points just weeks before a presidential election and why. The stonewalling on Benghazi by the Obama administration must come to an end."

White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters later that the administration is working to hunt down the attackers and improve security at U.S. missions, dismissing what he called "the essential irrelevance" of the controversy over Rice's comments.

"The president is focused on those issues, not what seems to be the continued political fascination with appearances on Sunday shows," Carney said.


Times: Giuliani seized control after 9/11, acted as a 'benevolent dictator' RAW STORY

Published: Sunday May 13, 2007 Print This Email This A story in tomorrow's New York Times (reg. req.) is highly criticial of Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's handling of the recovery operation in New York City following 9/11, claiming that his desire to downplay problems and return the city to a semblance of normality as quickly as possible has led to serious health problems for many of those who worked at ground zero. The Times also charges that Giuliani sidelined experienced federal officials from FEMA, OSHA and the Army Corps of Engineers, placing the cleanup instead in the hands of "a largely unknown city agency" that offered "a generally slipshod, haphazard, uncoordinated, unfocused response to environmental concerns." Accordingto the Times, "one Army Corps official said Giuliani acted like a 'benevolent dictator.'" Excerpts: # An examination of Giuliani's handling of the extraordinary recovery operation during his last months in office shows that he seized control and largely limited the influence of experienced federal agencies. In doing that, according to some experts and many of those who worked in the trade center's ruins, Giuliani might have allowed his sense of purpose to trump caution in the rush to prove that his city was not crippled by the attack. Administration documents and thousands of pages of legal testimony filed in a lawsuit against New York City, along with more than two dozen interviews with people involved in the events of the last four months of Giuliani's administration, show


US woman who says she was filmed in hotel shower sues for $100mil

A woman who claims hidden-camera footage of her in a hotel shower was posted on a dozen pornographic web sites by someone who tried to extort her filed a $100 million lawsuit.

The Chicago resident, identified only as Jane Doe in the lawsuit, alleges the nude video was taken at a downtown Albany Hampton Inn and Suites in July 2015 while she was taking the New York bar exam.

The lawsuit, filed Friday, names the hotel's owners and the Hilton chain as defendants.

The woman found out about the secret taping this September when an anonymous emailer sent her a link to the video, which was posted on a pornographic website with her full name.

The emailer said "I'm aperv" and at first demanded more private images from her, but eventually demanded $2,000 up front and $1,000 a month for a year, according to the lawsuit.

The woman did not give into the demands as more postings were made to popular porn sites. She monitors sites to seek the video's removal when she sees it.

Links to the video also were emailed to friends and associates of the woman from an account made to look like they were from her.

The bogus emails said it was for a friend's art project and asked recipients to "let me know what you think and leave a like!" A separate email to her seeking bitcoin payments said "you want me to stop. Right?" according to the lawsuit.

"It was just absolutely traumatising because these


are people I went to law school with," the woman told Good Morning America, which first reported the lawsuit.

"They're friends, they're co-workers. And they were sent a link to what looks like an email I sent."

A hotel spokesman told the Associated Press in an email they were shocked by the lawsuit's allegations. While no recording devices were uncovered during a recent renovation, he said they will continue to work with authorities to discover the perpetrator.

A Hilton spokesperson said in an email that they will support the hotel's independent ownership and management as they investigate and cooperate with any law enforcement investigations.A great opportunity to purchase a spacious family home requiring only light refurbishment through the and so ideal for buyers looking the put their own stamp in a home.Conveniently located 2.5 miles North of Nottingham's City Centre and just 2 miles from Mapperley's popular high street with great transport links within a short walk, this mid-terraced property boasts a generous lounge and kitchen open to a dining area on the ground floor with several storage cupboards and useful ground floor WC.

American universities hosting Chinese-backed Confucius Institutes need to make public the details of their arrangements, including the amount of money they receive from the organization, according to regional experts.

Though Beijing bills the Confucius Institutes as a center to promote Chinese language education and cultural exchange around the world, there are mounting concerns in the United States that they threaten academic freedom, in part by limiting discussion on issues sensitive to the Chinese government.

"One of the features of the Confucius Institutes that's now aroused the greatest concern is that they in many cases involved secret covenants between funders and the host institutions, or universities, that were not made public," Aaron Friedberg, a professor of politics and international affairs at Princeton University, told the House Armed Services Committee on Thursday.

MoreStates amid concerns they are part of covert intelligence and influence operations.

"They appear benign, and I suppose in some sense some of their activities might be, but they have this tie to the Chinese regime," Friedberg told House members. "They've also allegedly in a number of instances played a role in shaping discussion on college campuses and elsewhere of issues related to China and suppressing the expression of some views that the Chinese regime finds offensive."

A 2014 pamphlet published by retired University of Chicago anthropologist, Marshall Sahlins, said that Confucius Institute instructors are barred from discussing human rights in China or the Tiananmen Square massacre, Politico reported. When asked about the political status of Tibet, an autonomous region of China, instructors are directed to refocus the discussion to

In March 1939, following the German destruction of the rump state of Czechoslovakia and the proclamation of the Reich Protectorate of Bohemia-Moravia, Bonnet had Hervé Alphand of the Ministry of Commerce, who was in Berlin to negotiate a trade treaty, recalled in protest. The German move badly damaged Bonnet's creditability, and as part of the aftermath, 17 French intellectuals sent out a letter calling for an inquiry into Bonnet's conduct of foreign affairs. Ties between Daladier and Bonnet were strained when in protest over the German coup, Daladier ordered the recall oftowards Munich in 1938 and that his government wanted to fight for Czechoslovakia. At other times, Bonnet states the military and economic situation in 1938 was such that France could not risk a war that year.

In the early 1950s, Bonnet had a debate on the pages of the Times Literary Supplement with one of his leading critics, the British historian Sir Lewis Bernstein Namier over some of the claims contained in his memoirs. At issue was whether Bonnet had, as Namier charged, snubbed an offer by the Polish foreign minister Colonel Józef Beck in May 1938 to have Poland come to the aid of Czechoslovakia in the event of a German attack. Bonnet denied that such an offer had been made, which led Namier to accuse Bonnet of

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp wore Cristiano Ronaldo-branded pants to a team meeting ahead of the 2018 Champions League final against Real Madrid, according to Georginio Wijnaldum.

The pressure was on the Liverpool players as they prepared for their first Champions League final since 2007 and Wijnaldum revealed the German had a unique way of relieving them of their tension.

Klopp decided to wear a pair of Ronaldo-branded underpants before the showdown in Kiev, leaving them in fits of laughter.

"We saw he was wearing the boxer shorts of Cristiano Ronaldo," the Dutchman told The Athletic. "He did the meeting with his shirt stuffed inside his 'CR7' boxers. The whole changing room was on the floor laughing their heads off.

"That really

"He's done hundreds of jokes like that. If you see that your manager is really confident and relaxed, it will have an effect on players. He is a father figure in those things for the players. With his jokes and his body language, he takes the pressure off players."

Georginio Wijnaldum scored a double against Barcelona to help Liverpool reach this year's final

Liverpool went on to lose the final 3-1 to Real Madrid that year after Loris Karius' blunder and a Gareth Bale wonder-goal, but they eventually claimed European glory when they beat Tottenham 2-0 in the 2019 final.

Robert Kubica (24) and Nick Heidfeld (31) unveiled the new BMW Sauber F1.09 shortly after nine o'clock. Kubica then took the car for its first lap of the southern Spanish circuit. The team goes into its fourth season with the ambitious aim of fighting for the World Championship title.

Alongside aerodynamics and the optimum use of the slick tires, the integration of KERS represents another key challenge for the engineers. To this end, the front axle has been modified and the rear axle is a new design.

Willy Rampf is responsible for the F1.09 concept and will oversee operations at the race track in his capacity as Technical Coordinator. Managing Director of BMW Sauber AG Walter Riedl will lead the technical department at Hinwil in Switzerland and has responsibility for the development of the car.

Whilethe chassis is the work of the Hinwil team, the KERS technology has been developed in Munich. There, Markus Duesmann (Head of Powertrain) and his team also have the job of preparing the BMW V8 engine for the extra mileage stipulated in the regulations. Each driver is allocated eight engines for the total of 17 races in 2009.

The team's race drivers both demonstrated impressive reliability in 2008. Kubica racked up the most points for the team. The Pole added his name to the list of Formula One race winners in Canada, brought home the team's first pole position in Bahrain and also notched up three second places and three third-place finishes during the course of the season. For 2009 he is hoping "that we are as strong at the start of the season as in 2008 and that we can maintain this level of performance up to the final race."

Newark, we started to see pink hats at 8 a.m. on a Saturday. At Penn Station in New York they were everywhere. Strangers on the subway started conversations about the march, whether they were going or not. As usual, the program ran a little long and those who were near the stage grew impatient as they’d been on their feet for a couple of hours. Still, the messages were important to hear. Whoopi Goldberg was the star of the show this time, some might say, but all who stood up outside Central Park and gave voice to equality were stars.

The march itself lasted only a few blocks down Sixth Avenue, but the crowds were enormous. Although I held no clever sign, I knew that simply by being aDES MOINES — Sen. Elizabeth Warren confirmed she would pull combat troops out of the Middle East in her first term and would not commit to military campaigns without Congressional approval.

The answers came during an interview at the 2020 Iowa Brown & Black Presidential Forum, the nation’s oldest minority-focused presidential forum, presented by VICE News.

Warren was pressed extensively on foreign policy, an issue she has not discussed as thoroughly as her signature domestic policies. She said that she would pull troops out of places like Iraq and Afghanistan, even if the Trump Administration cuts a deal not to do so until after her first presidential term.

Warren also put blame on Congress, where she serves, for shirking its responsibility to check the president on war powers.

Ordinary Americans you see can't be bothered with the reality of the corporate wars waged under the big lie of spreading democracy and taking the fight to those who hate us for our freedoms and way of life. Truth is that we really aren't as free as advertised (just take a good look around someday) nor is U.S. democracy any other thing than what H.L.

Before Fat Man and Little Boy were dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima the land of the rising sun had been brought to it's knees by a long-running series of B-29 incendiary bombings led by General Curtis LeMay a ruthless efficiency obsessed madman with the nickname of "Bombs Away LeMay". LeMay led a withering series of bombings on 64 Japanese cities with the worst being the flaming hell from the skies unleashed on Tokyo on March 9-10, 1945 when nearly one hundred thousand human beings were incinerated. So intense was that bombing that according to one writer, Nicholas Von Hoffman, that the heat “boiled the water in lakes and ponds, cooking those who fled to safety there like human lobsters”. LeMay once said that "killing Japanesedidn't bother me very much at that time... I suppose if I had lost the war, I would have been tried as a war criminal".

to read Chris Hedges' latest gut-wrenching essay The Body Baggers of Iraq. In the piece, Hedges who is the preeminent moral voice in this feculent cadaver of a republic pulls back the red, white and blue bunting on the blessed glory of war that is revered by armchair patriots. He details the story of Jess Goodell, a worker in the Marine Corps Mortuary Affairs unit whose job was to "collect and catalog" the corpses and possessions of those poor, fucked-over "heroes" who paid the ultimate price so that Americans could remain free to be decadent, slothful, timorous, self-obsessed nitwits whose only Earthly purpose is to be ready to bare their jugulars whenever the monsters that are the corporate vampire class are ready to feed. The piece is notwe were stained with remains. We had a constant smell like rotten meat, which I guess is what it was since often the bodies had been in the sun and the heat for a long time. The flesh had gone bad. The skin on a body in the hot sun slides off. The skin detaches itself from the layer beneath and slides around on itself.”

---

Her unit once had to recover two Marines who had drowned in a lake. It appeared one had leapt in to save the other. The bodies, which were recovered after a couple of days by Navy divers, were grotesquely swollen. One of the Marines was so bloated and misshapened that the body was difficult to carry on a litter.

“His neck was as wide as


his bloated head, and his stomach jutted out like a barrel,” she writes in the book. “His testicles were the size of cantaloupes. His face was white and puffy and thick. Not fat, but thick. It was unreal. He looked like a movie prop, with thick, gray, waxy skin and the thick purple lips. We couldn’t stop looking at these bodies because they were so out of proportion and so disfigured and because, still, they looked like us.”

It was hardest to look into the faces of the dead. She and the other members of the mortuary unit swiftly covered the faces when they worked on the bodies. They avoided looking at the eyes of the corpses.

Once, the unit had to process seven Marines killed in an explosion. Sevenangry. Often expressions on bodies would look fearful and hurt. The faces looked as though they had received death. But this face looked like he had given death.”

She and the other members of the unit became convinced they could feel and hear the souls of the dead Marines they had processed and housed in their reefers.

The pernicious nature of war not only destroys flesh and buildings, it destroys lives of those who survive and then must cope with the horrific and immoral acts that their government has ordered them to participate in. Those with a conscience like Goodell are haunted by the experience and are able to channel it into some sort of action that is redemptive, such as speaking out with the truth.

Those were disturbing times for those of us who were only starting to come to the realization (as with me) that it was all bullshit, before the early internet insurgents....after years of relative 'peace' it was a total war of civilizations. Eventually though the truth became to seep out, the internet gave many of us a place to organize and educate ourselves and the always greed-crazed corporate carnivores latched onto the wars as another marketing tool.

MANCHESTER, N.H. – Three days after a poll in the first-in-the-nation caucus state of Iowa showed Pete Buttigieg with a clear advantage over his rival Democrats for the presidential nomination, a new survey in the state that holds the first primary in the race for the White House also indicates the South Bend, Ind., mayor with a large lead over the other top-tier contenders.

According to a Saint Anselm College Survey Center poll released Tuesday, Buttigieg grabbed the support of 25 percent of likely Democratic presidential primary voters in New Hampshire. Former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Elizabeth Warren of neighboring Massachusetts were tied for second – with each at 15 percent.

The survey indicated Sen. Bernie Sanders of neighboring Vermont – who crushed eventual nominee Hillary Clinton inin the New Hampshire primary.

The poll also indicated over three-quarters of those questioned said they would discourage former New York City mayor and billionaire business and media mogul Mike Bloomberg from launching a bid. Ninety-one percent said they would discourage 2016 presidential nominee Hillary Clinton from running again. But, more than four in ten said they would encourage former first lady Michelle Obama to run.


scrambling to shore. Oy.

The most famous accident was when Sonora Carver, the acclaimed diver, and her favorite horse, Patches, slipped on the off ramp. Sonora said that she threw her own weight forward to make sure the horse didn’t fall backwards to the water. While concentrating on this, she forgot to shut her eyes and they hit water. Sonora suffered blood clots in her eyes from the broken blood vessels after the force of the blow. However, several days after the accident, Sonora went totally blind from the swelling which created retinal separation.

But she kept diving.

Yup, Sonora loved to dive. So, even blind, she dove for 10 more years. You can read her book. It is called, “A Girl and Five Brave Horses”. She lived for 99 yearsthe filly walked to the edge of the platform and looked out over the crowd. Just then a sea gull flew by catching her attention. She lifted her head and sniffed the air, curling her upper lip over her nose. It looked as if she were smiling at us. In a blink of an eye, she slid her two front legs down the ramp, and jumped off the platform. Down she came! “Sp–lash!” Most of the water in the tank came rushing up in a huge wave, spilling over the sides of the tank, leaving it less than half full. The crowd went wild; Dimah and her rider did a perfect dive. They emerged from the tank and took a bow, the filly’s coat wet and shiny, gleamed


a pawing-his-age act he had performed. When the crowd was small, Klatawah would make a “few lazy scrapes” and dive from a “reclining” position, but he would prance and show off when the crowd was large.

“I felt his muscles tense as his big body sprang out and down, then had an entirely new feeling. It was a wild, almost primitive feel, that only comes with complete freedom of contact with the earth. Then I saw the water rushing up at me, and the next moment we were in the tank.”

Annette explained why she dove for so long – even after her sister was blinded – and why Sonora continued to dive after her accident:

“But, the truth was, riding the horse was the most fun you could have andcould be done successfully into the ocean. Lightning jumped beautifully, then became confused and swam out toward sea. She became tired gave up, and went under. Lifeguards caught up to her and buoyed her up. She was brought back to shore, but couldn’t be resuscitated.”

My Grandmother was Olive Gelnaw, one of the divers. We lost her on Saturday 11/12/11. She was an amazing woman who lived life to the fullest and was very proud of the time she spent diving these horses. She spent many years of her life loving and raising horses among many other animals. She was also an artist and wrighter and I feel blessed to have shared time on this earth with her. Thank you for hooring her memory.

Very nice article!!! Do you know or know of anyone that might have the names of any of the young ladies that “jumped” with the horses during the 1907-1908 period when the showhe arrived in Canada.

The family started small, running their business from a shed in Antigonish. Now, Peace by Chocolate has expanded into a factory in the town. The business is also planning to hire 10 more employees, bringing its total workforce to 20.

Many of the town's people welcomed and help support the Hadhads when they first arrived.

Assam Hadhad's son Tareq said without the town's support Peace by Chocolate would never have been born.

"We are saying more thank you to them for embracing us and just supporting us because everything really has happened because of those really lovely people," said Tareq.

It's a success story

"The biggest challenge was production and being able to have enough production and all the food safety requirements to get the product in the stores," said Paul MacLeod, the vice-president of operations for Sobeys Atlantic.

"We had extra space so we started ... working together to bring chocolate to the stores."

After months of renovations, the factory on Cloverville Road in Antigonish is almost complete.

Sobeys expects the new facility will allow the Hadhads to produce about 30 per cent more chocolate. Once shifts are worked out and all the equipment arrives, Sobeys believes production could increase even further.

"We're looking to start in AtlanticToday is Diwali, the biggest Hindu holiday, when believers celebrate the victory of good over evil. Usually, nothing dampens the Diwali spirit among observant Hindus, but this year there is a cloud hanging over some 30 million followers of Asaram Bapu, one of India's most popular Hindu gurus. This self-styled godman, a septuagenarian who has amassed a $1 billion empire by preaching the evils of sexual desire, is accused of raping the minor daughter of an ardent devotee.

Asaram is under arrest and, regardless of the final verdict, is finished. But he's not the first Hindu guru to go rogue, and he won't be the last. That's because to the extent that the loose and amorphous Hindu faith has avoided the tendency to militancy, internecine conflict and intolerance experienced


by the more organized monotheistic faiths, it is at the price of opening itself to charlatans and cults.

A thousand gurus have always bloomed among Hindus. In the 1980s, there was Osho Rajneesh, whose fleet of Rolls Royces' and message of free love got him ejected from Oregon after a four-year stay. Among the new generation is the Hugging Amma, who has accumulated a net worth of about $250 million by jet setting around and giving 33 million hugs . Then there is Nirmal Baba, the TV phenom, who advises women to eat green—not red—chutney with samosas to get pregnant.

Bigger than all was Asaram. He combined a message that appealed to Hindus' puritanical sensibilities—renunciation of sensual pleasures and material comforts—with impressive oratory to generate a worldwide following. His devoteesinclude a former prime minister, leading politicos, rich businessmen and professionals. The donations he raked in allowed him to erect 1,700 religious schools and 435 ashrams the world over.

The antics of gurus provide steady fodder for comedy in India. But Asaram's behavior was raising eyebrows even before the rape accusations. His anti-sex crusade had morphed from nuttiness (advising couples to avoid having sex on religious holidays) to extremism (demanding that Valentine's Day be replaced with Parent Worship Day).

Some details of Asaram's rise-and-fall are unique, but the basic plotline of a guru corrupted by power is as familiar as a B-grade Bollywood movie. The puzzle is why can't Hinduism, the world's oldest religion, rid itself of fake gurus?

Hinduism, unlike Christianity, is not an organized faith with settled dogmas, an


knowledge," notes Josh Schrei, a religion writer. Diametrically opposed paths for achieving inner bliss have been explored: asceticism and materialism; intoxication and sobriety; sensuality and celibacy; solitude and communion.

On the other hand, Hinduism's spiritual laissez faire means that it lacks the inner resources of other religions for quality control. Unlike monotheistic faiths, Hinduism is not preoccupied with policing superstition, idolatry, and heresy. Literally anyone with a formula for enlightenment—and the charisma to sell it—can hang a shingle saying "guru inside" and wait for the flock to arrive. (This was perfectly captured by the recent documentary Kumare in which an Indian American born and raised in New York, moves to Arizona feigns a guru accent, invents some mumbo jumbo, and quickly acquires a devoted following.)

Assange was formerly a student of the university.


for elections, just over 100 days away, in which congressional control is the prize.

The House starts summer recess at week's end, and lawmakers need arguments to take home for town halls and campaign advertising and to rev up voters and contributors. Democrats need to gain 23 seats in November's midterms to capture House control, which is widely seen as doable, so both parties are producing bills to shore up political weak spots or play offense.

For House Speaker Paul Ryan, who is retiring, that meant giving Republicans credit for the strengthening economy and using Democrats as a foil, perhaps offering a GOP playbook for fall campaigns.

"They've scoffed at Americans who've benefited from more money in their paychecks," he told reporters, a reference to House minority leader Nancy Pelosi's comparisonmoney students could borrow.

"We want a world where parents don't have to choose between college for their kids or paying the rent," said Rep. Susan Davis (D) of California.

A critical challenge facing GOP messaging plans is Mr. Trump, who dominates the political stage by abruptly swerving onto issues that put Republicans on the defensive. In recent days, that's included extolling Russian President Vladimir Putin while challenging his own intelligence and law enforcement agencies, defending tariffs he's imposed that threaten trade wars and considering the removal of security clearances for political opponents. He's since said he trusts US intelligence, but he also invited Mr. Putin to the White House.

With their latest tax cut push, Republicans hope to draw attention to an age-old GOP priority and appeal to key constituencies,


refer the nominees to the Senate unfavorably, favorably, or without an opinion.

The Senate Finance Committee was initially scheduled to vote on Mnuchin and Price on Tuesday, but Republicans were forced to postpone the vote due to a boycott from Democratic members of the committee.

The Democratic members of the committee explained their boycott in a Wednesday letter to Hatch and said that they would not vote on the nominees until Mnuchin and Price answered certain questions.

Democrats mentioned that after Price claimed he was not given a special discount on stock for an Australian pharmaceutical company, the Wall street Journal reported that Price had been given a discount. The CEO of the company later denied that Price was given a special offer.

The senators also said that Mnuchin has not sufficientlyand placing the thin film onto the target surface;

Dozens of municipalities in France, Germany and the United States are taking back their water and sewer systems, reversing earlier privatizations.

Kavanaugh was reportedly asked about the new complaint during a phone call on Tuesday between himself and the committee.

According to Bloomberg News reporter Jennifer Epstein, Senate staffers have also asked Kavanaugh about a fifth accusation that was reported to Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI).

According to a document Epstein tweeted Wednesday, a Whitehouse constituent reported that one of his close acquaintances had told him she had been assaulted by Kavanaugh and another man in 1985 on a boat. The constituent, whose name was redacted, reportedly confronted the two men, "leaving them with significant injuries."

Ghost forest

Ghost forests are areas of dead trees in former forests, typically in coastal regions where rising sea levels or tectonic shifts have altered the height of a land mass. Forests located near the coast or estuaries may also be at risk of dying through saltwater poisoning, if invading seawater reduces the amount of freshwater that deciduous trees receive for sustenance.

Looking at the stratigraphic record, it is possible to reconstruct a series of events that lead to the creation of a ghost forest. Where, in a convergent plate boundary, there has been orogenic uplift, followed by earthquakes resulting in subsidence and tsunamis, altering the coast and creating a ghost forest.

Sea level changes

When there is a change in sea level, coastal regions may become inundated with sea water. Thiscan alter coastal areas and kill large areas of trees, leaving behind what is called a “ghost forest.”  This type of ghost forest may develop in a variety of environments and in many different places. In the southern US coastal marshes are expanding into dry wooded areas, killing trees and leaving behind areas of dead trees called snags.
Regions of the US at or below sea level are more susceptible to tides. Coastal features affected by changing sea levels are indirectly affected by climate change. With global sea level rise, the coastlines in the southern US are being altered and leave behind salt marshes filled with dead and dying trees in some areas.

Tectonic activity

Ghost forests can also result from tectonic activity. In the Pacific northwest, there is


whitebark and other high-elevation pines.

Category:Forestrydesire is like a kaleidoscope with several little stones," said study researcher Ana Alexandra Carvalheira, a professor of clinical psychology at the University Institute of Applied Psychology in Lisbon, Portugal. "A little movement can change the big picture."

Women report low sexual desire in high numbers. One survey of patients at a urology clinic in New Jersey revealed that 36 percent of 18- to 30-year-old women and 65 percent of female 46- to 54-year-olds reported low sexual desire. Between ages 55 and 70, the number rose to 77 percent.

Those numbers may be higher than the general population, because the women were seeking medical care for various reasons, but other studies back up the existence of the female desire problem. In one 2012 study researchers reported women's desire dropped each


month they were in a long-term relationship, suggesting that despite stereotypes of women as commitment-hounds, female sexuality is heavily dependent on novelty.

Meanwhile, sex researchers who study male sexuality have traditionally ignored desire in favor of researching erectile dysfunction and early or delayed ejaculation, Carvalheira said.

"It has been like that since the very beginning of research on human sexuality," she said.

Nevertheless, studies around the world suggesting that a not insignificant number of men sometimes struggled with desire, from national surveys in the United States that placed the number between 14 percent and 17 percent to surveys in Australia and Sweden that put it at 16 percent or so.

Carvalheira andin different words: large parts of the existing frame of reference continued to function, and "life carrying on as usual" could be interpreted as a triumph over the Nazis. How could people have hit upon the idea in early 1933 that they needed an entirely new interpretation of reality, that what was happening was not something one could evaluate using customary criteria? Even if someone had sensed that the times were different, where would he have gotten the instruments to decode this new reality?

Social psychologists have clearly defined the phenomenon of "hindsight bias" for the belief, once the end of a social process is determined, to have known from the beginning how things would turn out. In retrospect, one can always find scores of indications for a nascent


World War II approximated the theoretical state of total war. The experience of World War I continued to influence military discussions in the interbellum period, and many people saw the radicalization of war as unavoidable. The experts all agreed that the next war would be a total one. Thus, despite no shortage of initiatives in that direction, there was no way to regulate or restrict the brutalization of armed conflict. The power of the major political ideologies, the general resistance to liberal ideas, the continued development of weaponry such as strategic bombers, and the intensifying plans for mass mobilization doomed all efforts to contain violence. Additionally, the experience of a number of armed conflicts between 1918 and 1939—the Russian Revolution, the suppression of uprisings in Germany, the Spanishabout 450 kph, but I estimated that that was doing 700 to 800 kph at least." In spring 1944, speculation grew that the Me 262 would soon be actively deployed. A Lieutenant Fritz recalled a visiting general saying in March 1944 that the Me 262 was about to replace the Ju 88: "He said too that the whole production of those aircraft has been somewhat restricted and preparations were already being made for producing jet-propelled aircraft; that suddenly they would be used in onerous numbers and that we should thereby win back air superiority." Similar rumors were circulated among the general German populace, which was increasingly feeling the hardships of the war. A Private First Class Maletzki reported: "The general morale is not so bad in GERMANY. I


early as 1940, but their numbers were too small to be representative of a specific view of the war. The views that were recorded on tape basically conform to the picture researchers have reconstructed from other sources. Unlike in the Luftwaffe, the euphoria produced in the army by early military triumphs was seriously shaken in 1941–42. Nonetheless, in February 1942, the German military leadership believed that "the dip in troop morale" had been overcome. Examinations of letters sent home had suggested soldiers believed they had "gotten the job done." Surviving the first hardships on the Eastern Front had apparently created a new confidence among "Eastern fighters," who continued to believe in their own innate superiority to their Soviet enemies.

During the Blitzkrieg phase, soldiers conflated larger events in theof them realized that they were being sent on a virtual suicide mission. The _Scharnhorst_ was sunk the following day, and only thirty-six men from a crew of nearly two thousand survived. They were brought to the Latimer House POW camp, where they proudly told of their mission.

"Four destroyers should have been sufficient to sink us," a Private Bohle related. "There were nine ships in all. The SCHARNHORST had to fight a lone battle from 12.30 hours to 20.00 hours. And if the destroyers hadn't been there, they wouldn't have sunk us. It's actually hard to realise: twenty-six thousand tons of steel and iron and two thousand men all gone! It's a miracle how they stood up to it for so long, for we received a hell of


victims. This is a typical means of making a story more interesting. It also shows that numbers of dead were a way of impressing listeners with one's story. Figures were part of the narrative aesthetic of violence.

The surveillance protocols conclusively illustrate the nonchalance with which Waffen SS men spoke about war crimes. Historical research explains this attitude as the result of ideological indoctrination and brutalization during training, both of which were also closely connected to the concentration camp system. Evidence for this view can be found in statements by SS men throughout the surveillance protocols.

Kurt Meyer, one of the most prominent Waffen SS officers in the camps, did not bother at all to conceal his political orientation from the Wehrmacht generals. He had adopted National Socialism like ahim in the crassest way the necessity for the whole struggle, then one meets with no success. In that respect the Russian education is exemplary.

There is considerable evidence that Lingner wasn't the only Waffen SS leader to attempt the sort of ideological indoctrination he felt was lacking in the regular armed forces. Beginning in September 1940, unit leaders were officially responsible for both the military _and_ political training of SS soldiers.

Of course, the desire to indoctrinate soldiers doesn't mean that even all members of the Waffen SS were completely infused with National Socialist ideology. As historian Jürgen Förster has shown, the means needed for political indoctrination—from instruction material to qualified teachers—were often lacking. And results often lagged behind expectations:
