Intromission ratio (IR, the number of intromissions in the first series divided by the sum of the number of mounts and intromissions in the same series) and the inter-intromission interval (III, the ratio between the ejaculation latency of the first series and the number of intromissions in that series) were also calculated. In addition to the above parameters, the total number of mounts (TMF), of intromissions (TIF) and of ejaculations (EF) in the whole 60 min period of copulation, the total copulatory rate (TCR), calculated by dividing the sum of all the activity periods of the male with the female rat (an activity periodfaster approach directed to and/or a higher ability to sexually interact stably and efficiently with the female rat in DAT KO rats compared to HET rats and, even more, to WT rats. This occurred together with the typical significant improvements in sexual parameters recorded during the first series of copulatory activity during the five tests in DAT KO, HET and WT rats, e.g., a decrease of the ML, IL, and EL, an increase of the EF, and an improvement of the IR. However, this general trend apart, significant differences occurred among DAT KO, HET, and WT rats, with DAT KO rats constantly displaying higher EF and IR values, and lower MF and shorter ML, IL and EL values already during the first test and in the subsequent ones

Thus, comparing DAT KO rats to WT ones, BDNF was lower and trkB higher in the VTA, with no differences in the Acb core and shell; Δ-FosB was higher in the VTA, but lower in the Acb shell; synaptophysin was lower in the Acb shell; syntaxin-3 was lower in the VTA and the Acb shell; PSD-95 was higher in the VTA, and lower in the Acb shell; PSA-NCAM was higher in the VTA but did not differ in the Acb shell; Arc, which was higher in the mPFC and Acb shell, was lower in the Acb core and did not differ in the VTA.

North Korea threatens to fire at S. Korea, U.S. 27 Feb 2011 North Korea threatened Sunday to enlarge its nuclear arsenal and mercilessly attack South Korea and the United States, as the allies prepared to start annual joint military drills which the North says are a rehearsal for an invasion. North Korea called the planned South Korea-U.S. drills a "dangerous military scheme." Earlier Sunday, the North's military warned that it would destroy South Korean border towns if Seoul continues to allow activists to launch propaganda leaflets toward the country.first like to congratulate the rapporteur on his work and on how easy he made it for all of us to work with him and produce a good report. We should be pleased because for the first time we are going to adopt a report on fisheries under the ordinary legislative procedure, at first reading and with the agreement of all three institutions.
Parliament's amendments were essentially aimed at incorporating the new recommendations that arose at the meeting of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) in 2009, as the Commission's proposal only included the 2008 recommendations. They were also aimed at clarifying and specifying some definitions and technical specifications in order to ensure that the obligations of all operators and each of the Member States

(FR) Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I have no doubt that the report we will be adopting shortly is a transposition of the new conservation measures adopted by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) last November in Recife.
Naturally, I am pleased with the content of this report, and I congratulate Mr Romeva i Rueda on the work he has done on this issue. As he has just told us, the new guidelines establish rules on the traceability of bluefinof recommendations coming from the ICCAT - an organisation which ignores the advice of its own scientists and whose own internal audit labelled its fishing policies a 'travesty of fisheries management', and an 'international disgrace'. Instead, this House should recognise the position of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) and upgrade the initial support expressed by the EU to official Community policy.


member, called him on Thursday evening.

Kolhe had last talked to Bhagwan last week, on May 17. “He sought my wishes as the team was to about to begin its ascent,” he said.

Kolhe and others who knew Bhagwan said they were not convinced with the reason being cited for his death during the descent — lack of oxygen.

“He was an experienced mountaineer and had earlier tried to scale Mount Everest in 2017. Back then, he fell short by 400 metres due to bad weather conditions. It is hard to believe that Bhagwan died due to lack of oxygen supply,” said Kolhe.

Since completing his post-graduation in Physical Education from Bharati Vidyapeeth University last year, Bhagwan had been training hard for the expedition.

He survived the treacherous climb under unconducive weather conditionsand on Thursday reached the summit, where he unfurled the national flag.

According to the trekking group, due to the “heavy traffic”, or large number of mountaineers at Mount Everest, Bhagwan and his sherpa were stranded for nearly four hours of the total 10-hour descent. During this period, the Akluj trekker reportedly got tired and started gasping for breath, as his oxygen supply declined. When his sherpa succumbed, Bhagwan sent an SOS to the base camp.

“Two sherpas took a few hours to reach the spot where they lay, but by then, he had died,” said Kolhe, who was among the people who broke the news to Bhagwan’s family.

Planning such an expedition was beyond Bhagwan’s reach, but his love for adventure and mountaineering overcame all hurdles, including the financial constraints


faced by the family, which runs a paan shop. “Despite limited resources, he always dreamed big,” said Kolhe.

“He borrowed close to Rs 20 lakh from various sources. I sought a loan in my name to fund his trek. Both his younger brother and sister are studying and now it is an uphill task for the family, which is trying to raise money to bring the mountaineer’s body back,” he added.

The village, which was planning a grand welcome for Bhagwan, is now in mourning. His body is expected to arrive on Monday.

Local residents have sought help from various people and private companies to help the Bhagwan family pay back the loan.

Hardik was in the middle of his speech here when the attacker got on to the stage and slapped him.

A scuffle broke out after the incident between the supporters of the Congress leader and the attacker.

This incident comes a day after a shoe was hurled at BJP’s national spokesperson GVL Narasimha Rao while he was addressing a media briefing in New Delhi.

He, however, had a narrow escape as the shoe did not hit him.

Patel emerged as the leader of the Patidar agitation demanding reservation for the community in Gujarat in 2015. The people from this community were considered to be bedrock


supporters of the BJP.

On March 12, Patel officially joined Congress in Ahmedabad in the presence of party chief Rahul Gandhi and senior leader Mallikarjun Kharge.

Prior to joining Congress, Hardik had said he would help strengthen the ideology of the party and take it to the villages.

Charlotte Bacon, 6 ... Daniel Barden, 7 ... Rachel Davino, 29 ... On Saturday in Lexington, the names of the 20 children and eight adults killed three weeks ago at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., were read one by one, and candles were lit in remembrance.

Local ministers urged a crowd of about 150, shivering in Triangle Park, to unite for interfaith warmth and comfort in dealing with communal grief. Meanwhile, a much larger crowd waited to get into the Lexington Gun & Knife Show across the street at Heritage Hall.

It


was a stark illustration of the national divide over guns.

To Kenny Woods, a Baptist minister and gun shop owner from Hazard who founded the show, the event was about "enjoying freedoms."

"There's good and evil that's prevalent in this world," he said. "Sometimes good has to have some things to overcome evil. Ninety-nine percent of the people are good people, and I don't think our freedoms should be stepped on."

In Triangle Park, some called for political action to address gun violence.

"Let us stand up today and in 2013 for those whose voices have been silenced by guns," said the Rev. Kyle Brown, associate pastor at Maxwell Street Presbyterian Church.

There were prayers for solace and for victims who will never fulfill the promise of young lives.

"I light this candle inmemory of Charlotte Bacon," said the Rev. Susan Warren of Beaumont Presbyterian Church. "She wanted to grow up to be a veterinarian. ... She wanted to grow up. ... Her favorite color was pink. On Dec. 14, her mother let her wear her new pink boots, her new pink dress to school. ... Charlotte is a statistic now. She joins the nearly 6,000 children killed by guns in 2008-09 and the thousands killed since. We don't hear a lot about them on an individual basis."

Gatherings like Saturday's public memorial are a good place to start dialogue "to transform public perception and to alter public policy," said the Rev. Mark Johnson of Central Baptist Church.

The 68-year-old says his life has been devastated by the News of the World story and the posting of the video footage on its website. He told the court that the publicity had been "totally devastating" for his wife of 48 years, and he could think of "nothing more undignified or humiliating" for his two sons to experience. News of the World editor Colin Myler said the paper was pleased at the lack of punitive damages, but added that "our press is less free today after another judgement based on privacy laws emanatingfrom Europe".

SEA Games: Thailand bid for football semis

11 December 2009 08:45

VIENTIANE (AFP) - Thailand's footballers go into Friday's match against Malaysia knowing a draw will secure them a semi-final berth as medal table-toppers Singapore look to continue their domination in the pool.

Thailand, eight-times defending champions in the under-23 football, currently sit atop Group A, level on seven points with Vietnam and just a point clear of Malaysia. In the other game Vietnam take on Cambodia.

Host nation Laos and Singapore qualified for the semi-finals Thursday from Group B.

Failure to progress would be a major shock for Thailand, who have won the football gold at every SEA Games since 1993 and coach Steve Darby said his team would progress if they do not concede a goal.

"The main point is advance to


the semi-finals," he said, according to the Bangkok Post.

"I think Malaysia will attack because they need a win to go through. If they go for all-out attack, there will be more space for us to attack," he said, adding that his team would try to hit Malaysia on the break.

Meanwhile, Singapore, currently topping the medals table with 11 golds, are bidding to continue their success in the evening events, which feature the men's 100 metres freestyle and men's and women's 100m breaststroke finals.

Singapore won five out of seven finals in the pool Thursday, setting two new games' records in the process.

Two years ago, then-hosts Thailand, currently joint second with Vietnam on seven golds, finished with 183 golds out of a total of 477 -- well ahead of second-placed is land and , or 1.12%, is water.

Demographics

As of the census of 2010, there were 3,944 people, 1,536 households, and 981 families residing in the city. The population density was . There were 1,912 housing units. According to the 2000 census the racial makeup of the city was 46.23% White, 52.78% Black or African American, 0.19% Native American, 0.19% Asian, 0.03% Pacific Islander, 0.08% from other races, and 0.50% from two or more races. 0.83% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.

There were 1,536 households out of which 31.7% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 35.5% were married couples living together, 24.8% had a female householder with no husband present, and 36.1% were non-families. 33.9% of all households were made


Late last night, Scott Conroy, a crack reporter for RealClearPolitics and co-author of a book about Sarah Palin, went public with a fascinating scoop: Palin has commissioned a feature-length film from director Stephen K. Bannon about her governorship in Alaska that will debut in Iowa next month and then be released nationwide. The film seeks to recast Palin in a more favorable light, and its existence--a secret until now--suggests strongly that Palin is planning to run for president.

Conroy, who was shown a rough cut of the film, says that it attempts to explain and justify the biggest stain on Palin's record: the fact that she abruptly quit her governorship two years ago. But what's particularly intriguing to me is that it sounds like the film also dwells atlength on her accomplishments in Alaska:

The movie focuses on Palin's triumphs on fiscal and energy matters, while ignoring hot-button topics like abortion. Indeed, although she was always identified as a staunch social conservative, Palin often worked more closely with Democrats than Republicans in Juneau and largely avoided ideological fights during her first two years in office.

As Atlantic readers know, this is a subject about which I wrote at some length for the current issue ("The Tragedy of Sarah Palin," June 2011). As a strategic gambit for Palin, it's especially interesting because, as I argued in my piece, she actually accomplished a great deal in Alaska--much more than most people realize or give her credit for. In fact, I questioned why Palin didn't do a better job of touting

In addition, if it wasn't for Hitler's nightmarish slaughter of "undesirables" that took place under his leadership, the rest of the world wouldn't have experienced the sort of collective shock upon discovery of the Holocaust that spurred them into beginning the process of purging racist elements from their own nations. After all, the American Civil Rights movement, the end of colonial minority rule in places like India, and other rejections of systems of "racial superiority" only started to seriously take place after the Holocaust. To do otherwise wasnever traveled through time. You are ultimately responsible for the deaths of your loved ones and millions more.

In short, it appears to be a cosmic law that something bad has to go down in the period between 1930 and 1945. Perhaps it's how World War II defined the 20th century; the technological advances, the political foundations, and the example of man's inhumanity to man at its absolute worst that changed whole societies' perception of evil is ever present with us today. To imagine a world without it is to change everything. It may also be that Hitler, for all that he's considered the pinnacle of modern evil, is still a creature of his time and place; killing one man who did evil doesn't get rid of the circumstances


and structure that put him in the position to do evil in the first place.

Consider the Anthropic Principle at work. Some people could reasonably be offended by a story that treats centuries of anti-Semitism like the work of one man. Preventing World War II by one guy playing James Bond or Superman arguably denigrates the efforts of the Real Life soldiers who died to win it. The war is a sensitive subject in general, for obvious reasons, so such a story might never be published. Besides, who would read a story in which someone tries to change history for the better, succeeds, nothing goes wrong at all, and most impossibly of all, a utopian timeline that isn't turned into a Crapsack World by a Butterfly of Doom and/orend up in Austria in the 1920 to "kill a demon..." A real one, turned into a Count. He has decided to buy a portrait of his wife Sophie, painted by a poor painter that has no choice - he preferred to keep it because he loves Sophie. A Jewish art dealer makes the arrangement, but the same evening Sophie dies, burnt by her demon husband. Akira and Ryo kill the lord demon and then came back to their time, hoping that history is in good shape after what they done. Then, back in the 20s, the painter is furious after Sophie's death, and places the blame on his dealer: "I hate you, I'll spend my entire life to destroy you and your whole race!" and the art


dealer starts to run after him: "Hey, what are you saying? Where are you going like that? Adolf? Adolf Hitler!"

Made somewhat ironic by the fact that in real life, Hitler sucked at drawing people.

Comic Books

Perhaps the ultimate comic book subversion of this trope is the short story "Killing Time", written by Gerry Conway, illustrated by Tom Yeates, and published in the DC Comics science fiction anthology series Mystery In Space issue #144, December, 1980. An idealistic time traveller assassinates Hitler with a laser rifle at a Nazi rally in 1938, but is then lynched by the enraged crowd. Hitler's generals find the laser rifle, eventually learn how to duplicate it, and conquer the world. Decades in the dystopian, Nazi future, an idealistic time traveller sets off to killafter stopping the suicide that ended Hitler's life in the real world. Yet, in a way, he was still a failure. The original Human Torch was trying to take Hitler in alive to stand in front of a war tribunal but had to kill him to prevent him from blowing up the whole bunker. Hitler used his dying breath to make sure his death was reported as a suicide instead of being vanquished by the enemy so to the public the outcome was the same. It turns out Hitler is exempt from being saved too.

Also note that since in the Marvel Universe Hitler can body surf from clone body to body it's entirely possible for Bucky to have killed him and then Jim Hammond to do it again


later.

Parodied to the point of self-awareness in an issue of Deadpool, where Hitler is getting used to beating down time travellers - and then he decides to hijack the time-travelling device and go after Nick Fury. He is killed outside his timeline by Fury, Deadpool and Cable, but the body is brought back to 1945 to keep history flowing.

The Hitler thing was mentioned in a time travel arc of a Godzilla comic book. However, when the villain used his time machine to put Godzilla into the Titanic iceberg, the Big G's escape not only caused the famous collision, but the use of his nuclear breath warmed up the water, increasing the number of survivors.

In an X-Men comic, someone makes the mistake of mentioning this idea to Magneto —who is a Holocaust survivor. Predictably, he explodes. In the movie it was the anxiety of separation from his mother in the camps that first revealed the powers of the Master of Magnetism. Without such violent circumstances, Magneto would be a very different person.

Another X-Men story, the mini-series True Friends, has Kitty Pryde and Rachel Summers accidentally travelling to the late 1930s. Kitty, who is Jewish and learned about the Holocaust from her grandfather, himself a camp survivor, decides to assassinate Hitler and most of his staff, until she is forced to choose between changing history and saving Rachel from the Shadow King.

In a Fantastic Four comic book from the John Byrne era, the Invisible Woman, the Torch and She-Hulk find themselves in 1930s New York with Nick


is Depending on the Writer - the Marvel multiverse is said to exist partly because time travel almost always changes things... but simply creates an alternate timeline. So for the above example, there would be a universe where Lincoln was killed in the theatre, and one where he wasn't. And probably at least one where he slipped on the soap, but not because of any universal correction as The Multiverse.

In the first story arc of Midnighter's solo series, he is sent back in time to kill Hitler in the trenches of World War One, only to be stopped by the Time Police. Yeah, Garth Ennis isn't known for his subtlety. He can be damned insightful even with his dick jokes, though; In the penultimate chapter, Midnighter actually getsvia nuclear war.

Averted in the second issue of Paperinik New Adventures: the villain builds a machine that specifically avoids this and the Butterfly of Doom effect. Though he only gets a single shot at this, and botches it thanks to PK's intervention.

One 2000 ADTime Thriller (Basically a Future Shock involving time travel) had Allied assassins go back to Hitler's birth to assassinate him. Hitler uses Mental Time Travel to take control of his own infant self and kill the assassins, saving his own life in several different alternate realities. However, it comes back to bite him in the ass when his baby self's personality takes him over, leading him to make increasingly idiotic decisions and leads to his eventual suicide.

Averted in Multiverse, a graphic novel written by Michael


Moorcock for Vertigo Comics. In one plot thread featuring Seaton Begg, the Meta-Temporal Detective, the time-traveling detective investigates the murder of Hitler's niece, who turned out to be his mistress as well. By the end of that arc, Begg did not actually kill Hitler, but his investigation did result in Hitler being arrested, and the Nazis discredited to the point where they would never rise to power in Begg's timeline. The consequences are never dealt with, as Begg moves on to his next adventure.

Film

In Timecop 2, the protagonist was sent back to prevent Hitler being killed, fails and returns to the future, to a world run by Nazis, complete with time travel technology.

Hitler himself is an example of the time travel exemption in the Australian film As TimeOld Joe's attempt would ultimately fail, and as a direct result cause the child to grow up evil and become the Rainmaker.

In About Time Tim's dad explains that since it's Mental Time Travel, Tim can't change events from before he was born, and names killing Hitler as an example.

Literature

Darren Shan's Cirque Du Freak saga plays with this idea in conversation in Sons Of Destiny. As the main character, Darren, speaks to Evanna, they converse about the time travelling powers of Mr. Tiny. Evanna says that the events of history are pre-written, only the characters can change. Darren brings up Hitler, to which Evanna says that if he was killed off some other person would replace him, keeping the main events of history in check.

This idea is expanded with


a narrative Take That in Terry Pratchett's Lords and Ladies: 'Shoot the dictator and prevent the war? But the dictator is merely the tip of the whole festering boil of social pus from which dictators emerge; shoot him and there'll be another one along in a minute. Shoot him too? Why not shoot everyone and invade Poland?'

In a fictional "documentational" book for time travelers, a scenario is mentioned where someone assassinates Hitler while he is still a young artist. The assassin never returns — in this version of Time Travel, dramatically altering history creates a parallel universe, and he returned to his present day in that universe instead of "ours".

In Stephen Fry's 1997 novel Making History, Hitler's parents are prevented from conceiving, but his absence allows the taller,more handsome, cleverer Rudolf Gloder to ride the tide of frustration that gave birth to the Nazi party, and the results of his reign are worse for the world than Hitler's. Gloder has negotiated a stop to the war with Germany still in control of most of its conquests, and has reined in the anti-Semitism to the point that it hasn't inspired total war from his adversaries. This example is even more impressive when you consider that the entirety of Fry's mother's family (aside from her parents) were killed in Auschwitz. On top of that, Fry is also gay.

In the Alternate History novels of Harry Turtledove's Timeline-191, the Confederates win the War of Secession and a subsequent war with the Union, the United States allies with Germany to


win World War One, so World War Two features a fascist France and CSA against the USA and a Kaiser-ruled Germany. The Confederacy is led by Hitler-analog Jake Featherston and his ultranationalist "Freedom Party," complete with a genocidal campaign against Confederate blacks, but we also meet the actual Hitler, a German Army sergeant seething with hate but languishing in obscurity.

In Alastair Reynolds' novel Century Rain, World War II is, in fact averted (although not by killing Hitler, he lives till old age) but the result is a negative one, as it effectively halts the progress of science and technology at pre-1940s levels. 'course, it happens in a separate world, not our world, created as some kind of museum to protect human past. And IIRC, technology may have beenartificially halted to prevent rockets from banging on the roof.. Effective. Most great leaps in technology pre-Internet was done in, or for, war.

A passing mention of this is made in Robert A. Heinlein's The Cat Who Walks Through Walls. The plot involves an agency that can travel through time and across parallel universes. One of their early attempts at improving the world involved assassinating (humanely, they simply ensured that his parents were using birth control on the day of his conception) a Hitler-like dictator. His brutal reign doesn't happen, but what was originally a small-scale nuclear war turned into a global one, since the Hitler-analogue had kept the alternate America out of the war. They rid the world of the evil dictatorship, sure, but they also rid it


of all life other than cockroaches. Unusually for this trope, they didn't take their failure as a sign that there are things they shouldn't be messing with; instead, they decided they needed better projections about what would happen should they make a change.

Another Heinlein passing comment is that eliminating Hitler was what led to Nehemiah Scudder's fundamentalist theocracy in the USA.

Alfred Bester's short story "The Men Who Murdered Mohammed" also displays a similar paradox. The story involves a professor burning with rage over his wife's affair, who decides to eliminate the other man. He does this by first killing the man's father before he was born, to no effect, he then goes and kills his grandfather. Again nothing. Soon, he's gone on a killing spree against many keyfigures in history, all in the hopes that one of them would end the existence of his wife's lover. He discovers that no matter how much he changes history, it all continues to make no change in the present. All he succeeds in doing is erasing himself from history.

In the novel Days of Cain by J. R. Dunn, the Moiety is an history-monitoring agency run by mysterious hyper-evolved humans from the end of time, whose directive is that history must remain absolutely untouched so they can study it (in this sense, it's the opposite of the agency in Isaac Asimov's The End of Eternity, who constantly tinker with history in order to improve it). The novel centers around a search for rogue agents who are trying to stop


the Holocaust (which must be preserved to maintain historical integrity). Interestingly, it's revealed that the other customary linch-pin of history, the John F. Kennedy assassination (as well as the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy and the death of Mary Jo Kopechne), were the Moiety's attempt to stop the Kennedys' rise to power (which was not supposed to happen and was the doing of another rogue agent).

Orson Scott Card's book Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus is probably the epitome of averting this trope... and contains an implication that the depicted act of changing the past happened twice. What convinces the heroes in Pastwatch to go back and alter history (keeping Europeans out of the new world while helping the Mesoamericans make technological and cultural progress so the twosimulation.

In Li Harbin's Time Ghost series, killing Hitler has apparently gone wrong so many times that all time travel units have blocks on traveling to any time in which the man was alive, because the consequences are dire. This becomes a plot point when one Time Spy decides to prevent World War One instead, thinking it would change things so that World War Two didn't happen, which via chain reaction would mean that World War Three (which nearly wiped humanity out entirely) wouldn't happen. The resulting clusterfuck takes up the bulk of Time Ghost's main plot as this goes very, very, very wrong.

Connie Willis's time-travelling historians can't go back to any event which is over a certain threshold of "significance" to world history. "The net" (the name for


Canada, but it turns out that drastic changes to history can destroy time itself.

Inverted and somewhat averted in Stanley Shapiro's A Time To Remember. The narrator travels back in time to prevent the JFK assassination, fails, and is himself arrested as the assassin. His girlfriend then goes back, fails to prevent the shooting, but does prevent the hero's arrest. Finally the elderlygenius who invented the machine determines to set things right by traveling back himself and shooting Oswald on Nov. 21. An aversion in that the US pulls its military advisors out of Vietnam, and as a result the world basically relaxes out of the Cold War. On the other hand, we only get to see what happened for a few months thereafter; in a Bittersweet Ending, byby Desmond Warzel is a short story examining this trope.

Abney Park came out with a novelization of their band's fictional backstory. In it, they subvert the trope by kidnapping baby Hitler and raising him aboard an airship full of pirates.

Spoofed in one sketch in Free-Range Chickens, in which a time traveler succeeds in murdering baby Hitler and then finds himself unable to explain to a horrified onlooker why he did it. "Officer? This man just killed a baby."

Averted, with a catch, in Kate Atkinson's Life After Life. Ursula lives her life over and over, and as she becomes more aware of past lives, she realizes she has a unique opportunity to kill Hitler before WWII. In at least two lives, it seems she does so. However, this results


in her instantly being killed, so she can't "enjoy" the altered timeline.

Timewyrm: Exodus from the Virgin New Adventures has the Doctor prevent Ace killing Hitler, telling her that if Hitler dies a competent madman could lead Germany.

Live Action TV

In the new Twilight Zone, an agent comes back in time and kills an infant Adolf Hitler. In order not to be punished, his maid kidnaps a beggar's baby and it is raised as Hitler, becoming the one we know.

In the original Twilight Zone episode "No Time Like the Past", a time-traveler attempts to snipe Hitler during a speech from a hotel window. He is forced to abandon the attempt when the maid calls the police on him.

The same episode averts the whole "doesn't think to go back farther" thing,horrible things to him. In a combination with the Butterfly of Doom, the protagonist realizes that he had possessed Hitler before he had acquired any anti-Semitic feelings, and his possession caused those feelings. His attempt to prevent the Holocaust directly caused it.

In one of the novels, the Doctor helps Hitler to prevent other aliens from making things worse. Another criticised the whole "kill Hitler before the War" theory as a hypocritical exercise in futility, since the only person who would ultimately be able to kill Hitler before he'd done anything to merit death (as a baby) would be someone who could willingly murder an innocent (a.k.a. another Hitler).

Doctor Who has always used the Daleks as a metaphor for the Nazis, so the following exchange from Genesis of the


Sliders, it was discovered that a world in which California was essentially a Nazi state, complete with the ethnic cleansing of minorities, had never had a Hitler (as per one character's befuddled reaction when Hitler's name is dropped), and had therefore never "learned its lesson", namely the horrors of racial oppression and genocide.

Star Trek: Enterprise. In "Storm Front" Captain Archer is urged by one of the people in the Alternate Universe where Germany is winning WW2 to use his phase cannons to destroy Berlin, but he tells her to be patient and let him correct history his way. This is a somewhat odd example, as history had already been massively screwed with, and conceivably Archer could have sterilized all of Earth to no ill effect, as the oneby killing one man. Interestingly, in the pilot episode, Helen claims that Druitt is a time traveler from the future, which would make this trope true, if his backstory wasn't RetConned later into a Victorian scientist who became a teleporter after injecting vampire blood.

In series 3 of Misfits an old Jewish man who's bought Curtis' power attempts to travel in time and kill Hitler. He accidentally drops his 2011 phone, Hitler finds it and Nazi tech leaps forward sixty years in an instant. When he gets back to 2011, he has created a world where Nazi Germany won the war and now rule Britain.

So Kelly gets given the time-travel power and uses it to go back and take the phone off Hitler. And then chin him. And ask


him why he's "such a fookin' dick". And then "kick the shit out of him".

Music

In the song "Parantaja" by Finnish garage metal band Riivaaja, a man of Jewish descent devises a time machine, travels to the past and assassinates Hitler. He returns to his own time to see the Soviets having completely taken over, and figures the only solution left is to go back to the past and assassinate himself.

Dan Bern's song "God Said No" has the narrator asking God to send him back in time to kill Hitler (as well as prevent the deaths of Kurt Cobain and Jesus). God refuses (duh), saying that if He did send the narrator back, he wouldn't actually do the things he claims he would, instead getting caught up in other,more self-serving activities.

Spoofed in Anal Cunt's "I Went Back In Time And Voted For Hitler", wherein the singer doesn't go back in time to kill Hitler but instead to vote for him.

Tabletop Games

In the Champions module "Wings of the Valkyrie," the heroes must go back in time to save Hitler after another time traveller kills him before the Nazi Party rises to power... creating an Alternate History where things came out even worse (Germany went communist; the West lost the alternate version of World War Two to the German-Soviet alliance; a falling-out between the victors led to World War Three; several cities have been nuked and the major powers don't seem at all afraid of doing it again when the next war breaks out; the United States is


use of Infinite Worlds and time travel, gives this very trope as an unnerving example of a quest hook, about the players having to go back in time to protect Hitler lest he gets assassinated and a far more skilled leader takes his place and wins the war for Germany.

Played with in Genius The Transgression. You can kill Hitler, but it won't do anything (except get the Time Cops mad at you). Hitler has been killed six times over, so the setting's Time Cops started cloning him. If you head back to 1921 Hamburg, you can get a tour of the cloning facility. In an added twist, the Time Police got there a bit late — there was a Nazi party that led Germany to World War IIsimply take Hitler's place.

The central premise of Command & Conquer: Red Alert is that shortly after World War II, Albert Einstein uses a Time Machine to meet Hitler at the one moment in history where his location in civilian life was absolutely verified (just outside the gates of Landsberg prison on December 20, 1924, after completing his sentence for his role in the Beerhall Putsch) and then erasing the future dictator from history. While this does succeed in preventing the original World War II, the power vacuum leads to an even greater conflict as Josef Stalin makes his own attempt to conquer the world, with the Soviets and Allies (including Germany) slugging it out with weirder weapons.

In contrast, Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge has the


to think about the story).

In the early flight combat sim Corncob 3D, Hitler was apparently killed by a thrown bottle earlier in his life. In place of WWII, however, there was an alien invasion. Somewhat inexplicably, F4U Corsairs are still developed and flown against the alien threat.

In War Front Turning Point, Hitler is assassinated very early in WWII. This, however, makes things worse: under the even more effective leadership of his successor, the Nazis are able to occupy Great Britain. And when they are eventually defeated, things go haywire: Russians take Germany's fall as the chance to advance into Western Europe, triggering a new conflict with the Allies.

In an unused poster in Portal 2, you are informed to, in event of time travel, avoid both your past andfuture selves, your dad, and Hitler. An unused and unrecorded Cave Johnson line states that all alternate parallel universe versions of you (or whatever test subject he was talking to at the time) are Hitler. He also warns you not to kill him if you meet him during the tests.

Somewhat averted in Titanic: Adventure Out of Time. The protagonist is a former British government agent, waiting in his apartment in the London of 1942 for a German bomb to land on him. He reflects on the past, and how it could have been altered. Somehow, he then ends up back on the Titanic, given a second chance to complete his mission. If you succeed, and manage to escape on a lifeboat with three particular items, Hitler never comes


and Tony points out all the cause-and-effect even a twenty-year change would cause before adding "Why do you think I haven't gone back to the mid-1930's and killed Hitler before World War II started?"

Played with by xkcd when Black Hat Guy goes and kills Hitler... in April 1945, in the bunker, while the Red Army is storming the city and Hitler is just about to commit suicide. Played straight from the perspective of the person who persuaded him to do it, since it was a reasonable assumption that he'd know to do it before World War 2. Black Hat guy was right after all when he said they should have used the time machine to do something fun, instead of wasting their only chance at time travel inthe future who go to right wrongs in history. While Hitler himself is mostly left alone (aside from getting a punch in the face), the Vietnam War is presented in this context: the Commander went to that time period twice, once to win the war for America, and a second time to stop himself cause winning the war caused the Rambo movies to never exist, and that's just too bizarre a world to contemplate.

Averted in this one, where the time traveler succeeds by going back and providing Hitler with a scholarship at an art school at the right moment. Although history is vastly improved, the traveler discovers that it still has a few disturbing attributes.

A played with variant appears in The Adventures of Dr. McNinja. The mysterious Chrononaut


He goes after one of them, and inadvertently RetGoneshimself. No one seems particularly inclined to undo his error.

Parodied in Hardly Working's Killing Hitler. The first time they try it, the adult Hitler beats up the time traveller. The second time he does it again, but as an adolescent. The third time traveller attacks him with a rifle when he's a small child. However, Hitler steals it, and then forces the traveller to tell him how to make an atomic bomb. And then kid Hitler travels through the portal into the future.

Averted in Punching Hitler; although they don't kill him, they punch him repeatedly, causing him to change the direction of his life repeatedly in the end and presumably averting the Holocaust.

Invoked in the Alternate History timeline Weber's Germany;Paul Driscoll from The Twilight Zone manages to shoot Hitler during the Munich Beer Hall Putsch, but that just leads Friedrich Weber, otherwise a historical nobody, to seize control of the Nazi Party, then Germany, radically changing the course of World War II.

Flash

"Time Travel Travesty" inverted the trope, in that the time-traveller WANTED something bad to happen. An evil genius comes up with an Evil Plan, go back in time to kill Hitler causing the Soviet Union to take over Europe. His henchman called him out on it, stating he's just copying the plot of Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Unlike Red Alert though, the universe just explodes.

Western Animation

In the Family Guy episode "Back to the Pilot", Stewie and Brian travel back to 1999, where Brian takes the


opportunity to warn his past self about 9/11 despite Stewie warning him not to change history. When they return to 2011, Brian is hailed as a hero because he prevented the attacks, and when Brian insists to Stewie that changing history has done nothing but good they then go a little further into the future and discover that the country is a post-apocalyptic nightmare because ofGeorge W. Bush. They set things right by going back and telling the versions from the start of the episode not to try changing things.

In another episode, Peter and Brian go back into the past, and Peter ditches an important date with Lois (to whom he is not yet married at the time) to hang out with his friends. In the process, hereturns to a future where Lois is married to Quagmire instead, and despite all the good in the world that has occurred due to Peter's mistake, he realizes he's willing to screw the world over again to get her back.

Subverted as a Discussed Trope in South Park: in the episode "Make Love, Not Warcraft", Cartman directly asks Clyde if he would go back in time and kill Hitler given the chance, then adds that he himself wouldn't, because he thinks Hitler was awesome.

In the Futurama episode "The Late Phillip J. Fry," Farnsworth kills Hitler after reaching the creation of a new, identical universe following the end of the current one. We don't see the consequences, but later on he attempts to kill the next universe's Hitler and accidentally


kills Eleanor Roosevelt instead.

Robot Chicken demonstrates a possible loophole to this trope: a skit during the episode called "Dicks With Time Machines" features...well, dicks screwing around with past. However, the last one doesn't try to kill Hitler, but instead chooses to publicly humiliate him by showing footage of him on the toilet at one of his rallies. This effectively destroys Hitler's ability to get anyone to listen to him and changes the name of the skit to "Heroes with Time Machines".

Downplayed in The Simpsons; Homer wakes up at work thinking he has travelled back in time and the first thing that comes to his mind is stopping Hitler, but he is in the present day and just missed the point about a retrospective radio show talking as ifthe year were 1939. The writers also toyed with this idea for a sci-fi themed Halloween episode but nothing was produced and only a raw internal short touched the topic.

China Il had an episode in which Steve Smith and Ronald Reagan worked together to avert every disaster that had ever taken place, including stopping Lincoln's assassination and converting Hitler to Judaism. This inevitably resulted in the present age being attacked by every apocalyptic event possible, and as for Hitler, the Nazi party was now made up of Jews.

Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox by Professor Zoom during his Breaking Speech against the Flash. However he notes instead of killing Hitler, as is typical of this trope, that The Flash could have used his powers of time travel (which he


Throw was a subsequent commentary by the producers that this means that, in Justice League-Earth, World War 2 happened but the Holocaust did not, courtesy of Savage's aborted attempt at changing the future.

Other

Atlanta Radio Theatre Company, who do audio dramas in the vein of old fashioned Radio Drama, had a story called The Assassin, where the time traveler trying to halt World War II goes back in time to assassinate a six year old boy, to prevent the formation of Nazi Germany. The catch? Hitler was the guy who eventually replaced the dictator-to-be that was assassinated by the time traveler.

One recurring joke in John and Hank Green's Brotherhood 2.0 videos is the Evil Baby Orphange, a project suggested by a fan in the midst of a conflict overplay, Å, vilken härlig fred!, about war, democracy, and civil rights that touches on this. One scene is in an alternate history where Nazi Germany won WWII and... not very much seems different. A movie poster announces the latest 007 film — 007 Gert Fröbe, that is — and the latest teenage fad is rück und rüll music, but otherwise the actors read the actual newspaper of the day and discuss current events that the audience would be familiar with. But: when one of the actors complain about Hitler getting the Nobel Prize ("a fat geezer who spends his time at the Riviera wrapped in a blanket making bad paintings") a member of the audience leaves to come back later with some uniformed policemen who drag the actor


off stage.

This time machine tale takes a moment from stealing cereal through time and creating paradoxes to explain why it won't work.

This ad for Mercedes has Hitler being run over by a car as a child, as the car "detects dangers before they come up". Not surprisingly, the ad was rejected.

Referenced in Real Life when the Austrian town where Hitler was born was captured by the Allies. Among the residents who spoke up at a meeting where the townsfolk decided to surrender without a fight was the elderly midwife who'd aided in Hitler's birth. She pointed out that their town would already suffer a black mark throughout history, in part because she hadn't strangled him as a newborn; as much as she wished she'd done so, the shamesKucinich – 40 (4.91%)

Nowadays, the Air Jordan 1 may be one of the most recognizable and beloved sneakers on the planet – but that wasn’t always the case. Going back to the beginning, Michael Jordan famously wanted to sign with either adidas or Converse (Jordan was an early supporter of Converse shoes like the Fastbreak), but both companies turned him down. Nike was predominantly known as a running shoe company, so he considered the Swoosh a step down from the two brands he wore during his college days at North Carolina.

Nike was so keen to sign the Chicago Bulls rookie that it offered him a $2.5 million endorsement deal including his own signature shoe and apparel line, which was unheard of in the NBA in those days. The initial 1984 AirNike Air Jordan 1 started way back in 1986, but had nothing to do with basketball and everything to do with skateboarding. Growing up as a young skate rat living in rural England during the pre-internet 1980s, my most important link to the outside world came in the form of Thrasher Magazine from San Fransisco. Copies of the mag were fairly hard to come by in the UK, so each issue I was lucky enough to come by was treasured and read religiously from cover to cover.

Back then, the magazine was printed on newspaper, with the majority of the content and advertisements presented in low quality black-and-white. The July 1986 issue featured a nine-page feature on the Sacto Streetstyle comp, one of the first major events focused on


a new style of skateboarding known as “street skating”. I was fascinated by the images throughout the full color spread, of skaters like Mark "The Gonz" Gonzales and Steve Cabellero busting doubles off a jump ramp and Neil Blender skating the hood of an old car. Not only were the tricks something completely new for the time, but all the skaters were wearing the same shoes – Nike Air Jordan 1s.

During that year, the pages of Thrasher Magazine pictured many of my favorite skaters, such as Christian Hosoi, Tommy Guerrero and Natas Kaupas wearing color variations of Air Jordan 1s. I had personally never heard of Michael Jordan, but I had always worn Nike Bruins and Blazers to skate in, andespecially) wearing them throughout.

In an era predating skate shoe companies and skater pro models, simple canvas sneakers like the Vans Sk8-Hi and Converse All Stars were the skaters main choice in the ‘80s. With the quickly developing street tricks the canvas shoes would wear through at an increasing rate so this high-top leather sneaker was both a comfortable and durable alternative.

Once street skating really took hold there was a major uptick in popularity, with Natas Kaupas and Mark Gonzales standing out as both pioneers and stars of the art form. Shoe companies clocked their popularity and new companies and more established sneaker brands started to sponsor skaters. Hawk signed to Airwalk (which started off straight imitating traditional Vans styles), Gonz and Gator went to Vision Street Wear (the


clothing division of their board sponsor who started producing footwear) and Natas was taken on by a new French brand called Etnies who offered him the first ever pro model skate shoe. This was a defining landmark in skateboarding, as you had a brand owned by skateboarders, making shoes for skateboarders and personally endorsed by skateboarders. The Etnies Natas shoe was (ironically) inspired by the Air Jordan 1 with a traditional hi-top basketball cut and similar midsole.

Starting with the back cover of LL Cool J’s debut album Radio in 1985, hip hop's love affair with the Air Jordan 1 – and the entire Air Jordan range – shows no sign of letting up. From JAY-Z to A$AP Rocky, Drizzy to Kendrick,John O’Brian Inman, depicts a lovely nighttime scene at the lake in Central Park, with Bethesda Fountain in the background.

Ice skating became hugely popular in the second half of the 19th century. Skating clubs formed, and tens of thousands of New Yorkers would show up during prime winter days at the lakes of the city’s new parks.

Central Park officials had a way of letting skaters know when it was safe to go on the ice: A red ball would be raised from a bell tower in the park, near where Belvedere Castle is today. A red pennant hoisted over the middle of the lake, however, was a warning that the ice was dangerous.

Morgan was joined by his former Tranmere and Wales under-21 teammate Christian Edwards, who had served as caretaker manager of the club during the vacancy, as his assistant manager. In his first season, Morgan took Aberystwyth to a fourth-placed finish.

He left the club in February 2012 by mutual consent after a disappointing season.

In November 2012, Morgan was appointed manager of Llandudno. Following his appointment he was named Cymru Alliance Manager of the Month. Morgan lead Llandudno to promotion to the Welsh Premier League for the first time in the club's existence after winning the 2014–15 Cymru Alliance. He parted company with the club on 23 October 2017 after five years in charge.

In November 2017 Morgan was appointed manager of Colwyna finished product; the fully-trained retrieve. Many a trainer has failed their dog by just giving them a hodge-podge of skills, and then requiring them to perform as if the process were complete.

The fully trained retrieve is efficient and reliable. It is also uniform; the same each time; the dog goes, fetches the first retrieve object he comes to, instantly recalls to the handler, finishes as directed, and delivers on command - all with style. That is because FTP training works dynamically to produce exactly that.

In addition, a dog thoroughly trained through FTP is also finessed in his pressure conditioning so distractions don't divert him, or keep him from finishing the task he was sent to perform.

Pretty important, don't you think?

For a piano hammer that is used over the bass range, the length of the wooden base is long, the weight of the striking head is large, the hardness of the striking head is low and the protective covering is thick. For a piano hammer that is used over the treble range, the length of the wooden base is short, the weight of the striking head is small, the hardness of the striking head is high and the protective covering is thin.
In either case, the coupling between the striking head with the wooden base may be roughly classified into two major types. In one type of coupling, the striking head is disposed to cover a terminal projection having a round end and which is formed on one longitudinalend of the wooden base. In the other type of coupling construction, the striking head is partly received in a recess formed in one longitudinal end of the wooden base.
However, the conventional piano hammer of either type mentioned above has a drawback that the coupling construction affords no refuge for unexpected errors in the size of the striking head and/or of the head receiving portion of the wooden base. The absence of a refuge for unexpected errors in the size of these members easily induces deformation of the striking head which results in undesirable separation of the striking head from the wooden base during manufacturing of the piano hammer and causes the development of cracks in the wooden base when it strikes the respective string in a piano.

Robert Wagner joins new 'Charlie's Angels'

Robert Wagner has reportedly signed up for a role in the upcoming reboot of Charlie's Angels.

ABC recently announced that it has ordered a pilot of the show and New York Magazine claims that Wagner has already joined the project.

The 80-year-old actor, who is best known for his role in Hart To Hart, is expected to provide the voice of Charlie.

Rumors have suggested that Wagner landed the part because he has a stake in the Charlie's Angels franchise. He unsuccessfully tried to sue Sony and Columbia when they made movie adaptations of the show.

"The Court has reviewed the Presentence Report again and the nature of the offense committed, and has reached a conclusion that the sentence of imprisonment for a term of fifteen years on Indictment Criminal 570-70 was not unjust. The Court has recognized that the defendant did show penitence, manifested by a guilty plea to income tax evasion, and withdrawal of his appeal. There is, however, no affirmative evidence that the defendant has turned away from his old political associates, and there is some indication that the old loyalties may still be intact.
"Accordingly, after careful consideration of the entire background of this matter, the Court has reached the decision that

Ozone (O3)

The amount of ground-level ozone in the ambient air is primarily the result of photochemical reactions between oxides of nitrogen and volatile organic compounds. Ozone and its precursors can be transported great distances. As a result, the highest ozone concentrations are often observed downwind of urban centers and at high elevations in rural areas, such as Surrey East in BC and Enumclaw, Washington. In those areas, the ozone precursors are not produced nearby but are transported to the site via air currents.

The highest concentrations of O3 for the year are recorded in the summer and are associated with short duration events or episodes. However, the analysis of ozone for the entire year shows a maximum in mean concentrations during the spring.

Ozone concentrations of 40 tobasin varies from six to eight µg/m3, except near the major urban centres of Seattle, Victoria and Vancouver, where averages are nine to 10 µg/m3. Particulate concentrations vary considerably by season, week and day.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

Natural emissions of volatile organic compounds represent from one-third to one-half of the total VOC emissions in the Basin. The magnitude of natural emissions poses limits on achievable reductions in total VOC emission levels and on the effectiveness of nitrogen oxide emissions controls in reducing ambient PM and ozone concentrations.

Which air pollutants cause the smog that interferes with our region's mountain and ocean vistas?

SO2, organic carbon and NOx are the dominant pollutants responsible for degraded visibility in the Basin. SO2 and NOx are transformed in the atmosphere to sulphates and nitrates, which

Men walk in a Labor DayA ‘curious’ 13-year-old boy has had a USB cable removed from his penis by doctors after he inserted it up his urethra and it knotted in his bladder.

The teenager, whose name was not revealed, inserted the cable about 20 centimetres up his penis before realising he could not pull it out again.

His parents took him to a local hospital in the county of Linkou in China’s north-eastern Heilongjiang province, where medics applied lubrication in a bid to pull the cable out.

It was wedged right up there (Picture: AsiaWire)

But that proved unsuccessful and left the boy in intense pain, so he was transferred to the Harbin Children’s Hospital the next day.

that if melatonin is taken during the usual bedtime and wake-up time (i.e., usual nighttime), it may have no effect. Therefore, successful entrainment depends on both the melatonin dosage and the appropriate timing of melatonin administration. The accuracy needed for successfully timing the administration of melatonin might require a period of trial and error, as does the dosage. However, entrainment was also observed when giving a dose of melatonin as low as 0.05 mg and without any timing, by just continuing melatonin administration at the same time everyday until the non-24 sufferer's circadian rhythm shifted enough to coincide with melatonin administration (which took from 1 to 2 months).

In addition to natural fluctuations within the circadian rhythm, seasonal changes including temperature, hours of daylight, light intensity and diet are likelyal. in 1983 in rats who were maintained in a time-free environment. Then, using endogenous melatonin as a marker for circadian rhythms, several research groups showed that appropriately timed melatonin administration could entrain free-running rhythms in the totally blind: they found that 6 out of 7 patients treated with 10 mg melatonin at bedtime were normally entrained, and when the dose was gradually reduced to 0.5 mg in three of the subjects, entrainment persisted. Subsequently, it was observed that treatment initiated with the 0.5 mg dose could produce entrainment on some patients. Interestingly, one subject who failed to entrain at a higher dose was successfully entrained at a lower dose. A low dose produces melatonin blood levels that are similar to the concentrations naturally produced by nightly pineal secretion.

This is largely the product of dashed and unrealistic expectations that many in the West held after the collapse of communism. They thought Russia would reform itself and become a junior partner to the United States in global affairs. Instead, the country was re-established as an authoritarian and fiercely independent state. Putin has been demonized as the symbol of this disappointment, leaving Western elites dangerously ill-equipped to read him.

Putin decided to weigh in to the U.S. debate on Syria and its foreign policy in general not only to describe Russia’s position but also to exploit an opening:


path toward equality in U.S.-Russian relations.

When U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry came to Moscow in May, Putin offered him an approach to resolving the Syrian conflict that would be co-sponsored by the U.S. and Russia and similar to the 1995 Dayton accords, which ended the war in Bosnia. Kerry seemed to agree, but in reality the U.S. continued to expect Russia to do one thing: Stop supporting President Bashar Assad and ease him out of power. Putin’s formula was starkly different: The U.S. and Russia should build on the areas where they agree, and split the difference where they don’t. The result was deadlock.

This appears to be changing. With his proposal, Putin has upped the ante and taken personal responsibility for the deal on Syria’s chemical weapons.hedonismo, a la búsqueda incontrolada y desconsiderada del placer como único fin en la vida, tiene en los analgésicos uno de sus principales apoyos para ignorar el sufrimiento físico, pero también un amigo peligroso que puede llevar a situaciones fatales.

Saturday 24th April

Despite the ash cloud and despite the security threatening to destroy our trip, 4 of us made it out to the Kabul mountains and met up on the Jalalabad Road to start our travels to Northern Afghanistan. Uncertainty had dogged the lead up to the trip and until the day I left, I feared it would be cancelled. This cast its own cloud and it was with apprehension that I set out

Our day began at 3.30am when we left the haven of the SCA compound and headed for the airport. Outside the gates was a different world. Sinister in the darkness, blue lights on speeding police vehicles illuminated the blackened city. Armed soldiers lined the roadside and at intervals, Afghan Army stood in the road, armed with RPGs. Extraordinary to think this was all going on in a seemingly peaceful night.

New York chef makes cheese out of wife's breast milk

In the world of haute cuisine, pushing the boundaries of taste has become commonplace.

But in a move that has delighted some and disgusted others, a chef has made cheese out of his wife's breast milk.

The idea struck chef Daniel Angerer eight weeks ago after his wife gave birth and she began freezing her excess milk.

I'll pass, thanks: Chef Daniel Angerer has put breast milk cheese dishes on his menu such as this maple caramelized pumpkin seed encrusted cheese with concord grapes

As she produced far more than she could use for their their daughter Arabella, Daniel became curious as to whether human milk could be used in the kitchen.

So he began to experiment in using it to make cheese.

More useful Indy Media Contributions to the Tsunami Victims

Before the bodies were even cold, whilst America had given millions of dollars to a tragedy they were ultimately not directly affected by, callous slime were already complaining about America's stinginess or even going so far as blaming America for the earthquake itself.

"I contacted every single mass media outlet on television and probably 75 separate reporters at different newspapers," says Michael De Kort, the 41-year-old former engineer for Lockheed Martin. Martin was laid off by the military contractor days after he posted his 10-minute video on August 3, soberly detailing shortcomings in the boats' security cameras, communications abilities, and cold weather capabilities. "They wouldn't do the story."

Following De Kort's YouTube airing, however, his allegations were subsequently reported in the Navy Times, and then picked up by The Washington Post, NPR and other news organizations. The video has become the latest example of new media driving the old, cited by ABC News as "further evidence that the Internet has
