William McKinley served in the U.S. Congress and as governor of Ohio before running for the presidency in 1896. As a longtime champion of protective tariffs, the Republican McKinley ran on a platform of promoting American prosperity and won a landslide victory over Democrat William Jennings Bryan to become the 25th president of the United States. In 1898, McKinley led the nation into war with Spain over the issue of Cuban independence; the brief and decisive conflict ended with the U.S. in possession of Puerto Rico, the Philippines and Guam. In general, McKinley's bold foreign policy opened the doors for the United States to play an increasingly active role in world affairs. Reelected in 1900, McKinley was assassinated by a deranged anarchist in Buffalo, New York, in September 1901.
William McKinley was born January 29, 1843, in Niles, Ohio. As a young man, he briefly attended Allegheny College before taking a post as a country schoolteacher. When the Civil War broke out in 1861, McKinley enlisted in the Union Army; he eventually earned the rank of brevet major of volunteers. Returning to Ohio after the war, McKinley studied law, opened his own practice in Canton, Ohio, and married Ida Saxton, the daughter of a local banker. After the deaths, in quick succession, of her mother and her two young daughters early in their marriage, Ida's health rapidly deteriorated, and she spent the rest of her life as a chronic invalid. McKinley patiently catered to his wife throughout his burgeoning political career, winning praise from the public for his loving devotion to her.
Did you know? During the Civil War, McKinley served on the staff of Colonel Rutherford B. Hayes, a fellow Ohioan who would become his lifelong mentor and friend. His ties to Hayes helped McKinley rise through Ohio's political ranks and win election to Congress in 1876, the same year Hayes was elected as the nation's 19th president.
McKinley entered Ohio politics in 1869 and rose through the ranks as a Republican, winning election to the U.S. Congress in 1876. Over nearly 14 years in Congress, he served as chair of the House Ways and Means Committee and became known as a proponent of economic protectionism, in the form of high tariffs on imported goods. After a tariff measure bearing his name passed in 1890, voters rejected McKinley and other Republicans due to rising consumer prices and he returned to Ohio. The following year, he ran for governor, winning by a narrow margin; he would serve two terms in that post.
After the so-called Panic of 1893 led to a crippling economic depression in the United States, McKinley and his fellow Republicans regained the political advantage over the Democrats. McKinley won the Republican presidential nomination in 1896 thanks to his congressional and gubernatorial experience, his longtime support of protectionism and the skilled maneuvering of his chief supporter, the wealthy Ohio industrialist Marcus Alonzo Hanna. In the general election, McKinley faced William Jennings Bryan, who ran on a platform attacking the gold standard and supporting the coinage of silver as well as gold. Touted by Hanna as the "advance agent of prosperity" and the protector of America's financial interests in contrast to Bryan's radical policies, McKinley won the popular vote by a margin of some 600,000, the largest victory in 25 years; he also won more than a third more electoral votes than Bryan.
Soon after taking office, McKinley called a special session of Congress in order to raise customs duties, an effort he believed would reduce other taxes and encourage the growth of domestic industry and employment for American workers. The result was the Dingley Tariff Act (sponsored by the Maine congressman Nelson Dingley), the highest protective tariff in American history. McKinley's support for the Dingley Tariff strengthened his position with organized labor, while his generally business-friendly administration allowed industrial combinations or "trusts" to develop at an unprecedented rate.
It was foreign affairs that would determine McKinley's presidential legacy, beginning with an ongoing conflict in Cuba, where Spanish forces were attempting to repress a revolutionary movement. Though the American press and public were outraged by the bloodshed, McKinley hoped to avoid intervention, and pressed Spain to make concessions. After the sinking of the U.S. battleship Maine in Havana's harbor in February 1898 was linked (erroneously, as was later discovered) to an external explosion presumed to be a Spanish mine, McKinley asked Congress for the authority to intervene in the conflict; a formal declaration of war came on April 25. From early May to mid-August, U.S. forces defeated Spain near Santiago harbor in Cuba, occupied Puerto Rico and seized Manila in the Philippines.
The Treaty of Paris, signed in December 1898 and narrowly ratified by Congress the following February, officially ended the Spanish-American War. In it, Spain ceded Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines to the United States and Cuba gained its independence. While opponents of the treaty derided it as "imperialist," McKinley took his cue from the majority of Americans who supported it, sending troops to quell a nationalist insurgency that broke out in the Philippines shortly after the war ended.
McKinley's administration also pursued an influential "Open Door" policy aimed as supporting American commercial interests in China and ensuring a strong U.S. position in world markets. In 1900, McKinley backed up this policy by sending American troops to help put down the Boxer Rebellion, a nationalist uprising against foreign intervention in China.
In 1900, McKinley again faced William Jennings Bryan, who ran on an anti-imperialism platform, and was reelected with a greater margin of victory than he obtained four years earlier. The outcome reflected the American public's satisfaction with the outcome of the Spanish-American War and the country's economic prosperity. After his second inauguration in March 1901, McKinley embarked on a tour of western states, where he was greeted by cheering crowds. The tour ended in Buffalo, New York, where he gave a speech on September 5 in front of 50,000 people at the Pan-American Exposition.
The following day, McKinley was standing in a receiving line at the exposition when a unemployed Detroit mill worker named Leon Czolgosz shot him twice in the chest at point-blank range. (Czolgosz, an anarchist, later admitted to the shooting and claimed to have killed the president because he was the "enemy of the people." He was executed in October 1901.) Rushed to a Buffalo hospital, McKinley initially received a hopeful prognosis, but gangrene set in around his wounds and he died eight days later. Vice President Theodore Roosevelt succeeded him.


Transportation | Business Information | Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engineering, Ltd.
Starting in the 1970s, we began the development of diverse transportation systems, notably new transit systems such as the rubber-tired Automated Guideway Transit (AGT) system. We have received orders for and delivered more than 500 AGT vehicles domestically and overseas.
See our achievements in Transportation Systems.
The following AGT brands are produced at our manufacturing facilities.
The Crystal Mover is an Automated People Mover (APM) designed as an AGT primarily for airports, where it is used to transport passengers between terminals and between airports and surrounding buildings.
It is also suitable for a compact city or new urban development and is operating on the Sengkang-Punggol Line in Singapore to provide transportation within the city.
The "Super AGT" has a top speed of 120 km/h, which is around twice as fast as other current automated guideway transit systems. Traveling at high speeds between cities, urban areas and suburban areas in a short time, the AGT greatly expands the roles of contemporary transportation systems.
The "Urbanismo-22" is an AGT series with a gross weight of over 22 tons.
It has a transportation capacity about 1.5 times larger than the Urbanismo-18, and is intended for main transportation in urban areas. The Urbanismo-22 has been chosen for the Macao LRT (Light Rail Transit) system for its easy route planning, cost-efficiency, transportation capacity, and various other features.
The "Urbanismo-18" is an AGT series with a gross weight of over 18 tons.
Although its capacity is smaller, the "Urbanismo-18" is designed to carry many more passengers (70,000 to 120,000 passengers per day) on time without being affected by congestion.
The "Urbanismo-16" is an AGT series with a gross weight of 16 tons.
The "Urbanismo 16" is designed to carry 2,000 to 80,000 passengers per day economically for the rail transportation system of a compact city or new urban development.
In 2000, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engineering (MHIENG) headed up a consortium of seven different Japanese companies contracted to build Taiwan's high-speed rail system: the first such high speed rail system outside of Japan to be built using Japanese high speed rail technology. In 2007, a high-speed rail line connecting the two major Taiwanese cities of Taipei and Kaohsiung was opened which is capable of covering the 345 kilometer distance in 90 minutes at the fastest.
Additionally, in 2005, we led a consortium of five companies contracted by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to build the Middle East's first fully automated and driverless railway system, with the Red Line opening in 2009 and the Green Line in 2010.
At MHIENG, we bring exceptional project management strength to bear on high-speed railway and overseas metro system projects the world over.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engineering's railway air brake manufacturing business stretches all the way back to 1924. What started with air brakes for steam locomotives has grown over the years to encompass bullet train lines, commuter lines and everything else, both within Japan and overseas. Today, our air brake systems account for around 50% of the market in Japan.

Local Sodomy Case Continues To Expand
By Editor | April 13, 2019 | 0
Charges against a man accused of sexually molesting an unconscious man continues to grow, according to Chattooga County Jail reports.
Originally Micheal Shedd, 38, was accused of aggravated sodomy, misdemeanor sexual battery and unlawfully recording a sex act without consent.
As of this weekend, Summerville Police officials have added another charge — felony exploitation of a child, according to jail reports.
Details of his new charges have not been released. However, the previous sodomy incident involved a man in his 20s, according to Summerville Police Detective Brian Ozment.
"[The original case] was not a stranger on stranger kind of thing. They were acquainted with each other," according to Ozment.
The incident happened during the early morning hours of March 31 at a residence on Marvin Avenue.
"[Shedd] basically performed sodomy on the victim while he was unconscious and then videotaped the act. It was a voluntary intoxication," Det. Ozment said.
Allegedly, Shedd was not intoxicated, or as intoxicated when the incident occurred. The victim passed out.
"[The victim] figured out that he had been victimized and came to report it to law enforcement," Det. Ozment said.
Warrants were filed against Shedd for aggravated sodomy, sexual battery and unlawful surveillance of a sex act, according to Det. Ozment.
Shedd has since been found in Walker County.

Atlanta United signs Brek Shea
Atlanta United announced today it has signed free agent defender Brek Shea to a one-year deal. The nine-year MLS veteran joins Atlanta following a two-year stint with the Vancouver Whitecaps. Shea appeared in 28 matches in 2018, making 13 starts for the Whitecaps. Over his MLS career, the midfielder has made 197 regular season and eight postseason appearances.
"We're pleased to add a player of Brek's caliber and versatility to the club," Atlanta United Vice President and Technical Director Carlos Bocanegra said. "He has significant experience, playing numerous years in MLS, overseas and for the U.S. Men's National Team, and will be a great addition to our locker room."
Shea, 28, is a versatile player that has experience playing multiple positions in midfield and defense. The left-footed player was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft by FC Dallas. His MLS debut came on April 20, 2008, when he featured off the bench against Chivas USA. In 2010, Shea became a regular for FC Dallas, playing 25 matches and making 21 starts. His first professional goal came on May 15, 2010, against Philadelphia Union. He started in the 2010 MLS Cup Final for FC Dallas against Colorado Rapids. His breakout season came the following season when Shea started 30 of 31 games and scored a career-best 11 goals. The College Station, Texas native was voted to the MLS All-Star Game, was an MLS Best XI selection and an MLS MVP finalist that season. Shea then made a move to the English Premier League, where he joined Stoke City on January 31, 2013.
The midfielder made his Premier League debut a month later against Fulham. He went on to make one more appearance that season. After missing the start of the 2013-14 season due to a knee injury, Shea joined Barnsley in the English Championship on a loan stint. Later that season, he joined Birmingham City on a loan to earn more playing time. In December of 2014, Shea made his MLS return complete when he signed with Orlando City SC.
In two seasons with Orlando, Shea made 46 appearances (39 starts) for the club. He scored a total of three goals and added six assists before being traded to the Vancouver Whitecaps in February 2017. Over the past two seasons, Shea has scored seven goals and added four assists. Despite battling nagging injuries throughout, Shea made 28 appearances for Vancouver in 2018, the most in a single season for him since 2011.
An alum of the U.S. residency program in Bradenton, Fla., Shea has been a long-time member of the U.S. Men's National Team program. He played for the U-17 and U-20 national teams before making his senior national team debut in October 2010. He played the first half in a friendly against Colombia, becoming the first U.S. player born in the 1990s to make an appearance for the senior national team. He has since gone on to earn 34 caps and score four goals.

This is one of the most popular ways people take their CBD, by vaping a dab or wax. People like the ability to take their vape pen with them where ever they go and use it conveniently. In order to use a dab or wax or crystal, you must have a vape pen designed to vape dabs also called wax, concentrate or solid.
Many vape pens only vape oils. So, to be clear, you need to have a vape pen with a chamber designed for dabs. Read moreQuality ProductsThe thing is this: But, CBD manufacturers find that it can be quite expensive to make a real wax product for their product line. The equipment is not cheap and the labor is not minimal. Most manufacturers just market their base CBD Hemp Extract, the black gooey paste, as a dab product, and some even hide in the word wax here and their throughout their product description so people will think that the product is a wax.
But, in all reality, most of the products being sold are simply hemp extracts. They can tend to be a little more harsh and bitter tasting than what a CBD wax is supposed to be. They now have a few great products to choose from. Their dabbable oils are made with vaporizing in mind! We wholesale supply many vape shops with the Highland Pharms brand of CBD Hemp Oil, as well as a variety of the other brands we represent. You may be one of those people. So, while there is nothing wrong with dabbing a standard hemp oil extract, for those seeking the smooth enjoyment of a specifically formulated wax, there is no comparison.
It can be a bit confusing out there. A vape pen has to made for waxes, concentrates, or, of course, dabs, for it to work with CBD Vape Dabs. You cannot use these products on a pen that is designed for liquid style oils. A special chamber is required that is not compatible with oils.

Why is a high purity CBD product desirable? Many people are looking for pure CBD to add to other products such as edibles, cosmetics or for vaping.
CBD Crystals are perfect for all of these delivery methods and can even be easily absorbed under the tongue. What are CBD Crystals? A second purification then takes place, separating the CBD from the other remaining phytonutrients until the desired purity is reached. What we can say for sure is that there is absolutely no THC, the psychoactive part of the plant. However, the levels are low enough to make CBD Crystals an attractive solution for someone with a sensitivity to terpenes.

Due to the legal landscape of cannabis throughout the world, most current strains that are found have been hybridized through selective breeding by breeders. Landrace strains are the exception. Where and how cannabis is grown, harvested and processed directly contributes to the composition of terpenes and cannabinoids found in the final product.
The names of various cannabis strains can be inconsistent and have primarily been developed to add marketing appeal, though some value can be garnered from them. For example, you can expect a bright, fresh aroma from the California Orange, Tangie and Sour Tangie strains, all of which share a fragrance of citrus fruit. These terms give cultivators an idea of the physical qualities that a particular cultivar, or strain, will exhibit during cultivation.
These terms may offer insight into the optimal growth conditions under which it is likely to thrive. They are also used by cannabis manufacturers and retailers to help market and describe the effects the plant is likely to offer.
Indica varieties of cannabis are typically short, dense, bush-like plants with wide leaves. By comparison, Sativa varieties grow taller and have narrower leaves, similar to outstretched fingers. Indica leaves gravitate toward deeper green hues while Sativa leaves lean more on the bright green side. Purple leaves are the result of a lack of the pigment chlorophyll, which gives plants their green color.
In the cannabis marketplace, the terms Indica and Sativa are used to refer to two common effects that cannabis is known to produce: The term Indica is commonly assigned to plants with body-heavy effects, while Sativa is used to indicate an uplifting high.
The effects you experience are more directly associated with the specific combination of active compounds that the plant produces cannabinoids, terpenes rather than its designation as Indica or Sativa. To better evaluate the quality and potential effects of a cannabis strain, examine its terpene content and cannabinoid makeup. The terms Indica and Sativa are a good starting point to describe the kind of experience you seek, but these terms do not paint the full picture of the cannabis you consume.
Additionally, you want to avoid any glaring defects like mold and mildew, insects, and discoloration. Shwag, shake weed, bottom shelf, popcorn, dirt weed, brick weed, ditch weed, Bobby Brown, and more. Low-quality cannabis is often transported as compact bricks, resulting in a mix of shake, stems, and compressed buds. Typically only found on the black market, shwag tends to be less colorful than your average cannabis, often more brown than green thus the nickname Bobby Brown — no relation to the former member of New Edition.
It is dry and earthy in aroma with a taste that can be harsh and spicy, as opposed to the sweet and floral notes of top-grade cannabis. The concentration of cannabinoids is likely to be very low due to extreme environmental factors, like excessive heat or other variables, which cause trichomes and other crucial parts of the plant to under-develop. The harsh growing conditions typical for low-quality, improperly cared-for cannabis has a tendency to be high in CBN, a byproduct of degradation.
Advanced levels of CBN are often attributed to poor or improper storage and handling during transportation. The effects from low-quality cannabis tend to be mellow, relaxing, lazy, and sleep-inducing thanks to the CBN.
The lack of quality standards at the street level also opens consumers up to contaminated flower that has been tainted by dirt, mold, mildew, insects, and even pesticides. One glaring advantage of low-quality cannabis is that it is usually available at discounted prices. Medium-quality cannabis is where most domestically-grown US cannabis lands on the quality scale. Northern states also see an influx of mids and regs from commercial Canadian cannabis, known as Beasters or BC Buds though the influx is starting to dwindle now that the US is shifting towards legal access.
Mids can be identified by their spectrum of green hues and the presence of colorful pistils. Solid middle shelf genetics showcase purple tinge, moderate flavor profiles, and sugary trichomes. Seeds and stems are minimal-to-none, but the buds can suffer from a number of quick-to-market techniques like improper flushing of nutrients, quick curing methods, and sloppy trim jobs.
Experiences with Reggies can vary across the board, but generally if the genetics are strong, the resulting effects are potent and enjoyable. Unstable genetics or stressful environments can cause hermaphrodite plants that begin to show both sexes. These partially-formed seeds are often referred to as bananas for their elongated shape and yellow hues. Fire, primo, top shelf, loud, kill, chronic, dank, headies, flame, kine, kind, and a host of other regional naming trends.
The first thing you should know is that top-shelf buds will stand out in a sea of green. Truly outstanding cannabis has no price cap — it can be considered a luxury item like fine wine and, depending on the laws where you live, prices can reach extreme levels. First-class cannabis will have a thick coat of sugary resin that contains the cannabinoids and terpenes, giving the plant its powerful effects and captivating flavors.
The buds themselves are typically dense and chunky, thick from advanced CO 2 levels during the flowering cycle and other innovative growing techniques.

Part of the magic of marijuana is the infinite variety of traits that can be exhibited by one species of plant.
Cannabis plants can be tall and lanky or short and bushy depending on their genetic heritage. Marijuana can express myriad flavors to tempt the tastebuds and aromas to excite the nose. Cannabis leaves and flowers can also vary in hue, offering a full palette of marijuana colors to please the eye. As young plants grow, most strains of cannabis are primarily green. Many shades of green are represented—from light lime-colored hues to greens so dark they are tinged with purple.
As plants flower and begin to reach maturity, more colors can appear or become more pronounced in both leaves and buds. Several different factors can influence marijuana colors, including temperature, nutrient levels, the acidity or alkalinity of the soil or other growing medium, and the quality of the light.
All of these variables can impact the expression and ratio of natural pigments produced by the plant, creating the different colors of marijuana. Green is the predominant color of most flowering plants including cannabis because of the presence of chlorophyll, the pigment that absorbs sunlight except the green wavelengths to power the process of photosynthesis.
Through photosynthesis, plants combine carbon dioxide and water to create sugars that fuel all biological functions. But as summer turns to autumn, lower temperatures inhibit chlorophyll production, allowing the other pigments to emerge and produce colorful marijuana.

8-Mile & Woodward: GO! Royal Oak Township
North, south, east or west, the people and communities that have a connection from this iconic crossroad of Detroit is amazing. There are histories, cultures and great stories that stretch far beyond the place we call home!
As we take a drive down these two world-renowned roads, we're going to tell a little story about their connection to Detroit. So, Here it goes!
8 Mile & Woodward: GO! Royal Oak Township
Headlight on: Royal Oak Township, Michigan 48220
Township you say? Township? I never knew it was called Royal Oak Township. Yes, all you hipsters and Royal Oakers of Detroit Bold Nation, there's another Royal Oak and it's not what you think.
Travel west down 8 Mile past just Ferndale, before you get to Oak Park and you'll hit a tiny sliver of land that's just past Pinecrest. You are in Royal Oak Township. At least what's left of it.
In 1833, Royal Oak Township was established as a regular, 36-square-mile (93 km2) civil township, and at one time consisted of all or parts of the modern cities and villages of Hazel Park, Ferndale, Oak Park, Madison Heights, Pleasant Ridge, Huntington Woods, Royal Oak, Berkley, and Clawson. Beginning in the 1920's these towns began to incorporate and separated from the township to form their own municipalities. In fact, Oak Park annexed a portion of Royal Oak Township as recently as 2004, despite Royal Oak Township incorporating itself for its own survival in 1972.
Who knows how long this last vestige of Royal Oak Township might last. It has no official zip code. 48220 is shared with neighboring Ferndale.
Needless to say, all of those neighboring communities nestled along the bustling drive down Woodward Avenue, north of 8 Mile owe a debt of gratitude as an offspring of the once mighty Royal Oak Township!
Beyond the intersection: Chances are if you listen to the radio on your commute to and from work in the Motor City, those waves are coming from Radio Plaza in Royal Oak Township's Motower Multilink Corporation's 993 foot radio tower. WDTK, WLQV, WCSX, WMGC, and WRIF are all based from here.

25 Hidden Details In Grand Theft Auto 5 Real Fans Completely Missed
by Neeraj Chand
GTA is one of the most popular gaming franchises ever created. It started off as a simple racing game decades ago. But a glitch allowed you to cause destruction in the middle of the race. Players loved this aspect of the game back when Mario was still the gold standard of good behavior among video game heroes.
The makers of GTA decided to run with this idea and thus was born the GTA game today's gamers are familiar with. Every fresh installment in the franchise introduces you to a new protagonist who is willing to do anything to get ahead. Usually, this involves eliminating people, kidnapping, extortion, and dangerous delivery jobs.
But it's the open world nature of the franchise that players really love. You can spend hours in the game not doing any of the mission-related storylines, but simply cruising around the streets, terrorizing anyone who gets in your way and stealing their money.
GTA V takes the GTA franchise to a whole new level with three main characters and an online version. You have Michael, the cool cat, Franklin, the newbie, and Trevor Philips, the wildcard of the game who would as likely turn on his own friends and colleagues as go after the actual enemy. You get three distinct storylines and a whole bunch of side quests through which to explore the gigantic world of GTA V.
The game is chock-full of secret surprises, references and easter eggs. Here are 25 details hidden away in the corners of GTA V that even the most die-hard fans might not be aware of:
25 The Alien Under The Ice
During parts of the gameplay, Michael and Trevor hallucinate that they are seeing aliens walking the streets. While this is shown to be an effect of the hallucination, there are other alien sightings in the game that are less easily explained.
In the prologue mission, turn right when the railroad tracks intersect the road.
Drive down to the underneath portion of the bridge, where the frozen lake lies. The body of a frozen alien can be clearly seen under the ice. During a mission set nine years later, the body can still be spotted frozen under the lake...
24 The UFOs Hiding In Plain Sight
If aliens are present, can UFOs be far behind? Continuing the theme from the previous point, you can spot multiple UFOs sprinkled throughout the game. There is a UFO under the sea that you can discover during a diving expedition.
After completing the game 100%, take a chopper to Sandy Shores and go as high as possible. You will eventually encounter a UFO that shines a bright light underneath it, Star Trek style. There is also a UFO waiting to be discovered above Fort Zancudo. Finally, a UFO above Mount Chiliad appears upon game completion somewhere around 3 am.
23 Taking Inspiration From Real Gangs
A lot of effort was put into creating a believable world for GTA V. This meant taking inspiration from pop culture, and also real life. In fact, actual gang members were called in to voice some of the supporting members in the game.
So great was the enthusiasm of these gang members that they even went to the extent of rewriting some of the dialogues to make them more authentic. We're guessing even if the game's writers wanted to protest, they took one look at the street-hardened voice actors and quickly changed their mind.
22 The Ghost On The Mountain
Turns out the game is juggling not only a crime drama and a sci-fi storyline but also a paranormal narrative. Meet Jolene Cranley-Evans, or what's left of her, at any rate. Near the peak of Mount Gordo is a large, flat rock on the ground which bears the word JOCK.
The ghost of Jolene can be near manifesting near the rock between 23:00 and 0:00.
Trying to get close to it means the ghost will fade away. But you can get a good look at it through a sniper rifle. Just don't try this when it's nighttime in the real world. She's a pretty creepy looking spirit.
21 Inspired By Pacino And De Niro
When GTA V makers were hunting around for inspiration, one of the first movies they looked to was Heat, the classic heist film starring Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. There is a mission in the game called 'Three Leaf Clover'. During this mission, you're supposed to rob a bank.
From the use of weapons to the choice of clothing, every point in the mission is almost identical to the heist pulled off in the movie. Not just the mission, but several other plot points in the game have been directly inspired by Heat. And Michael in the game is clearly modeled after De Niro's character.
20 Secrets Revealed In Dark Light
The special edition version of the paper pack-in GTA V map contains a lot of interesting information. It reveals the location of safe houses, custom rides and places to get some fast cash. But there are actually even more secrets hidden in the map waiting to be uncovered.
In order to find these secrets, you will need to view the map under UV light. These invisible messages appear to be written in the form of riddles to make them inaccessible to outsiders. Deciphering the riddles can help you find even more free loot in the game.
19 In-Game Bermuda Triangle
The myth of the Bermuda Triangle is one of the most enduring legends of modern times. It relates to a body of water in the shape of a triangle where ships mysteriously disappear, never to be found again or showing up as wreckage years later.
GTA V has its own version of the Bermuda Triangle, and it is definitely not just a myth.
Going to Paleto Bay while playing the game online makes you teleport backward, minus whatever vehicle you were using for transportation. Certain things can go missing from your inventory without explanation as well.
18 The Face On The Moutain
Many players who have played near the region of Mount Chiliad have reported seeing a face painted into the side of the mountain. The identity of the man whose face has been painted into the side of the mountain has yet to be discovered.
While the face bears a close resemblance to Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad, no one can be sure if it's really him. The face appears to serve no purpose within the game storyline, and in the enhanced version of GTA V, the face has been replaced by the drawing of a rooster.
17 Simpsons Shoutout
Cletus Ewing is an acquaintance of Trevor's who lives in Sandy Shores. Cletus is shown to be a stereotypical hillbilly, wearing military clothing and often found in the woods hunting for animals. Cletus is remarkable for being one of the very few people in the game who are not afraid of Trevor.
The character of Cletus is clearly inspired by another cheerful hillbilly also named Cletus who shows up in The Simpsons. The two characters share many traits aside from their names. Although the game version of Cletus is clearly a lot more competent than the cartoon version.
16 Beware The Goatman
Adding to the myths and legends surrounding the world of the game is the legend of the Goatman. Clearly inspired by real-life legends like the Goatman. The Goatman is a mysterious entity that appears to live in the woods surrounding the main play area.
It appears to be in the shape of a giant humanoid with hair covering its entire body.
Two horns protrude from the top of its head. Sightings of the Goatman are very rare. But he has been spotted a couple of times standing in the middle of a road or running under the bridge.
15 The Behemoth Beneath The Water
At the bottom of the deepest waters off the western shore of Banham Canyon lie the remains of a giant sea creature that can only be seen through a deep diving expedition. A similar skeleton can be found just west of Fort Zancudo, near the remains of the cargo plane wreck.
Players were initially convinced that the skeletons belonged to the mythical sea monster known as the Kraken. But it has now been confirmed that the two bony remains are actually all that is left of giant whales that used to live there. Here's hoping a couple of live whales that you can actually ride make an appearance in future GTA games.
14 Take Selfies During Cutscenes
No one likes sitting through cutscenes more than once. Especially in a game like GTA, we don't really need to know the complex backstory behind why we need to beat up a gangster, steal his car, and then run down his partner to complete a mission.
One way you can liven up a cutscene is by whipping out your phone right before the cutscene begins. This will lead to an amusing segue as your character starts taking selfies while the other characters stand around explaining a mission. Perhaps this is a commentary on the average gamer's attention span.
13 Dress Up As Max Payne
Max Payne is that other famous game by Rockstar. That being said, it is the polar opposite of GTA in terms of character motivations for said violence. GTA protagonists are driven by greed and ambition, while Payne is driven by vengeance.
GTA V allows you to dress up Michael as Max Payne from the third installment of the game.
Michael already has bullet time abilities similar to Max's. You can also customize his appearance to shave his head and add a full beard. A Hawaiian shirt available to wear in GTA V that looks exactly like the shirt was worn by Max completes the look.
12 Discover Nico's Fate
Nico Bellic was the protagonist of GTA IV. There is a passing mention to Niko during the gameplay of GTA V. But if you want some concrete details about the former main lead, you have to look at his lifeInvader page on Jimmy's computer when he is browsing the internet.
It turns out that Niko had moved back to Broker before the events of V. He is now working as a taxi driver for Roman's cab service. This might seem anticlimactic after the spectacular journey we went on with Niko in the previous game, but the guy has earned the right to a quiet life.
11 Tribute To Lost
Lost was a show that was as frustrating as it was fascinating. The series was famous for sprinkling mysteries and surprises on viewers with little follow up. Despite its flaws, the show has amassed a gigantic following, and GTA decided to pay tribute to the impact of Lost on the cultural zeitgeist.
At the bottom of the ocean off the east coast of San Andreas is a hatch, similar to the hatch found in the middle of the jungle in Lost. The game hatch cannot be opened, but swimming above it reveals a series of taps that mimic morse code to spell out 'Hey, you never call. How'd you fancy going bowling?'
10 The Thelma And Louise Moment
Thelma and Louise was a trailblazing film of its times. It also has one of the most iconic endings in all of cinema, with the car carrying the two female victims turned outlaws driving off the edge of a cliff into oblivion.
GTA pays tribute to this ending at Mount Chiliad.
If you fly to the location via helicopter, between 7 and 8 pm, you will witness a standoff between the police and two female outlaws in a car. The scene ends as tragically as the movie's ending, with the car driving off the cliff and exploding into pieces.
9 Annoy The Other Protagonists
There are three protagonists in the game. All three of them are a special kind of terrible, and that means whichever character you choose to play as you're still going to end up a thoroughly unlikeable person. And the other two leads will agree with that assessment.
While playing as one of the leads, you can still find the other two main characters living their lives on the sidelines. You can interact with the other characters, block their path, hit them and just generally be a pain. The characters will respond to your bothering by getting annoyed and starting fights with you.
8 The Sinister Infinite 8 Mystery
As ugly and twisted as the main characters of the game are, there is something even more sinister going on in the background. Throughout the game, you can discover a series of clues and indicators that there is a psychopath living in the area who targets innocent victims and constantly eludes the police.
The clues show up in newspaper headlines about a man called Merle Abrahams, who was suspected of having eight victims. Those victims can be discovered lying at the bottom of the ocean.
7 Teen Wolf Takes On Bigfoot
This entire entry can be summed up simply by the title. Once you've completed all the missions, the game allows you to turn into Bigfoot after ingesting seven different types of peyote at specific times under specific weather conditions.
Once you do so, you will have the ability to become Bigfoot.
Then you can go on a 'Hunt the beast' mission to take on a werewolf clearly inspired by the character of the Teen Wolf from the movie of the same name. It's a pretty epic match between these two supernaturally strong and fast beasts.
6 Meet CJ And The Rest Of The San Andreas Crew
GTA: San Andreas is one of the most iconic games ever made and one of the most popular entries in the GTA franchise. Since GTA V also takes place in the general area of San Andreas, the game gives us the opportunity to catch up with CJ and his friends from the earlier game.
The mission Hood Safari has a part where you can see gang members dressed in green. Follow them, and they will take you to where you can see CJ, Sweet and Ryder chilling in the hood.
5 The Zombie Actor
Graham is known as the Vinewood Zombie. The reason for such a curious moniker is that he is most often seen wearing tattered clothes and zombie makeup. You can interact with Graham, although you might soon regret doing so since all he does is talk about how awesome zombies are.
You can also have a picture taken with Graham for ten bucks. Talking to Graham makes you realize he has to deal with a great deal of hatred and self-loathing. At one point his mother calls him up, and you get to hear that fun exchange, too.
4 Be Bond. Be James Bond
What do you get when you cross the narcissistic characters of GTA V with the narcissistic character of James Bond? That's right, a sweet ride for you to drive around in! The James Bond car, or a close approximation of it, makes an appearance in the game.
The JB 700 has a description which reads like a script for a Bond movie.
It encourages the driver to wear a tuxedo, talk in innuendos and have martinis. It is also hinted that the car came with a full set of weapons that were later decommissioned.
3 Hang Out With Discount Master Chief
Halo is one of the most legendary games in all of geek history. So naturally, GTA V has to make fun of it. There is a version of Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood in the game. Near that location are a bunch of republican street performers who bear more than a passing resemblance to Master Chief from the Halo franchise.
The resemblance quickly begins to break down upon close examination of their suits, which don't look like they could hold up against a strong breeze, let alone the cold, unforgiving harshness of outer space.
2 No Country For Old Men
GTA is not a game famed for its subtlety, or for being popular among older folks. GTA V references both these facts with an obvious reference to the movie No Country for Old Men. This random event is located at the western base of Mount Chiliad. Going to that location reveals an interesting scene straight out of the film.
You see several eliminated gang members and a few survivors of a deal gone wrong. Go up to the last survivor and take his briefcase, which contains $25,000 in cash. A pretty cool tribute to the scene from the movie.
1 Character Archetypes
There are three main characters in the game. And each of these character's personalities is based on specific archetypes. Rockstar conducted a study on the three main types of players who play GTA.
They then based each main character on one type of player.
So Michael is the expert player who knows every trick to game the system and get the most profit out of playing the game. Franklin is the noob who has just been introduced to the game and is trying to figure his way about. Trevor is the destructive troll who is not interested in winning the game, but only causing as much destruction as possible.

A Tory MP claims Britain must adopt a 'foreign powers act' to curb Russian influence that is threatening UK democracy, and warned that politicians must not be "paid influencers for others" – but why focus only on Russia?
Writing in The Times, Tory MP Bob Seely called on the UK government to consider the introduction of a 'foreign powers act,' in light of recent controversy surrounding House of Lords peers, such as Lord Greg Barker, who has come under scrutiny for his role as chairman of Russian energy firm EN+.

From early November, the appearance of brightly decorated trees – both real and artificial – signal the approaching Christmas holidays. But how did fir trees come to represent a holiday associated with the birth of the Messiah?
Trees have been a centre point of many world mythologies and religions throughout the ages. As a symbol of growth, death and rebirth, they are powerful reminders of the recurring cycles of life, with evergreen trees specifically representing fertility and immortality. The rituals and beliefs surrounding trees in general, and Christmas trees in particular, are rooted in something far more ancient than the birth of Christ two millennia ago.
Trees in ancient religion and folklore
Possibly the best-known tree in mythology is Yggdrasil, the world tree from Norse mythology. The huge ash tree is at the centre of the universe and has branches and roots that extend into the heavens, the depths of the underworld, and throughout the realm of living beings. But world trees exist in many other religions, including Égig érő fa in Hungarian mythology, Ağaç Ana in Turkic mythology and Modun in Mongol mythology.
Judeo-Christian mythology also includes a well-known tree, although it's unlikely that this is a predecessor to the Christmas tree! The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was in the Garden of Eden, as was a tree known as the Tree of Life – there is some debate about whether these are the same tree or two separate ones. Both are mentioned in the book of Genesis, with the fruit of the tree leading to the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the garden.

Early Romans marked the solstice with a feast called the Saturnalia. This was held on 17 December and expanded through until 23 December, and was in honor of Saturn, the god of agriculture. The holiday was celebrated with gift-giving, partying general role reversals – slaves were treated to banquets, people wore colourful clothes rather than togas and females were (sometimes) accepted at otherwise all-male gatherings.
With Saturn being the god of agriculture, the Romans believed that the solstice and their tributes would mean that soon farms and orchards would be green and fruitful. To mark the occasion, they decorated their homes and temples with evergreen boughs.
The first Christmas trees
It's been suggested that it was Martin Luther, the man who started the Protestant Reformation, began the tradition of bringing a tree into the home. According to legend, he was walking through the woods one night and noticed the stars shining through the trees. He wanted to share this sight with his wife, so he cut down a tree and took it home, decorating it with small lighted candles on the branches. He told her that it would be a symbol of the beautiful Christmas sky.
Another legend, also based in Germany, says that people combined two different customs, which created a Christmas tree. A 'Paradise Fir' – a fir tree decorated with apples – represented the Tree of Knowledge, while a Christmas Light – a small pyramid frame usually decorated with glass balls, tinsel and a candle – was a symbol of the birth of Christ as the Light of the World. They combined these two symbols of Christianity, changing the apples on the tree to the balls and tinsel, and placing a light on top, created what we would recognise as a Christmas tree.
Either way, they became popular throughout Germany, and Germans who emigrated to other countries, especially those who settled in Pennsylvania, USA, carried the custom of trees with them. These communities were known for their brightly decorated trees at Christmas, even though many Americans saw them as being pagan symbols at the time.
Taking the custom of a Christmas tree outside of Germany, Princess Helène of Mecklenburg is said to have introduced the idea to Parisian society in 1840, and then to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in England the following year. In England, USA and Canada, the tree still wasn't popularised until 1846, when the royal couple were sketched in a national newspaper with their children around a decorated tree.
Victoria and Albert may also have been responsible for the addition of an angel on the top of the tree. Before then, stars, angels and even figures of the baby Jesus were used to top Christmas trees. In Hans Christian Anderson's tale "The Fir-Tree", he referred to the decoration of a Danish tree, including its topper:
"On one branch there hung little nets cut out of colored paper, and each net was filled with sugarplums; and among the other boughs gilded apples and walnuts were suspended, looking as though they had grown there, and little blue and white tapers were placed among the leaves. Dolls that looked for all the world like men—the Tree had never beheld such before—were seen among the foliage, and at the very top a large star of gold tinsel was fixed."
In Victorian times, the tree would have been decorated with candles to represent stars. In many parts of Europe, candles are still used to decorate Christmas trees.
In 1885, a hospital in Chicago burned down because of candles on a Christmas tree. Insurance companies in the USA tried pass a law that would ban candles from being used on Christmas trees because of the fire risk.
It's now common to find tinsel decorating trees (and everything else!) at Christmas, but originally it was made from thin strips of beaten silver, and therefore a lot less common. However, from a folklore point of view, tinsel was actually created by the Christmas Spider.

The Tale of the Christmas Spider
Well known in Eastern Europe and Ukraine in particular, the tale of the Christmas Spider tells the story of a widow who lived in a cramped, cold hut with her children. A pine cone fell from the tree outside, and the children looked after it, excited to have a tree for Christmas. When Christmas Eve arrived, they realised they had no money to decorate the tree, and the children went to bed, leaving the branches of their new tree bare.
But the household spiders heard the sad cries of the children, and spun intricate cobwebs across the tree. When the children woke up in the morning, they were delighted. As the sun rose, rays of light came through the window, colouring the delicate webs in silver and gold. It's said that after that morning, the widow and her children never wanted for anything again.
Ukrainians still decorate their trees with artificial spider webs and small ornaments in the shape of spiders (known as pavuchky, literally "little spiders") to this day to usher in good luck and fortune for the coming year.
The popular Christmas carol, Oh Christmas Tree, is based on a German folk song, O Tannenbaum. The word Tannenbaum simply refers to a fir tree, although it does include a reference to Christmastime. However, several English 'translations' have been popularised, replacing the word Tannenbaum with 'Christmas tree', and including other verses. A popularised version of the carol, by Aretha Franklin, includes references to the birth of Christ, the real meaning of Christmas, and, interestingly, four of Santa's reindeer.
Removing a tree
Traditionally, Christmas trees are not decorated until Christmas Eve or, where traditions include celebrating Christmas Eve, on the 23 December. But regardless of when you set up your tree, you need to make sure it's removed by Twelfth Night (5 January), else you risk bad luck to everyone in the house.
In England, it's also said that you shouldn't just throw any Christmas greenery – including the tree – out the door, or a death will occur in the house before the following Yuletide.
So, whether you celebrate Christmas, Saturnalia or any other December holiday, think twice before you chuck your old tree out!
