Europe is in the process of killing itself with kindness, much like the United States, and it's all happening because Muslim refugees by the thousands are steadily arriving from North Africa (particularly from Libya) by way of the Mediterranean Sea as they flee extremist Muslim elements.
Trouble is, even these huddled masses are arriving ready-made to administer the wrath of barbaric religious teachings which, like other faiths, should have undergone a reformation hundreds of years ago. The fact that it did not proves only that the majority of Islam's followers around the world remain ignorant and self-perpetuating through the teachings of lies and hatred.
As shown on Sixty Minutes (CBS-TV) Sunday (4/26), the Italian Coast Guard has become a 24/7 rescue mission for refugees abandoning Libya as ISIS and other radicals move in, and these folks by the endless thousands are pouring into Europe, almost certain to change and even destroy European society for the worst. To say this requires no brain surgery, for one need only look at documented instances of Muslims departing North Africa on overloaded boats insistent upon throwing Christians overboard to their deaths.
That's what's coming to a country near you, and, indeed, to our country: Koran-believing, uneducated, unskilled extremists with no tolerance for any religion but their own twisted exercise in wiping out those of any faith which is not Islam. Convert or kill, there is no third choice, ultimately.
So -- you think Europe and our accommodating prez won't collaborate and brings a lot more of "them" to our own country, even as we willingly import or blindly allow entry to more Islamic dangers than we can already handle? The welfare spigot has opened full-force, draining the reserves.
President Obama and his clueless and/or stupid White House flock seem especially tolerant of the Islamic evils crossing global borders, and one suspects that perhaps they equivocate or legitimately feel that mixing extreme practitioners of Islam with Christians is like introducing Africanized bees to more moderate bee hives, in hope that eventually bug-eyed anger will somehow be tempered into contentment for all. Pssst -- hey buddy, got news for you: If they're throwing Christians off the boat in the Mediterranean, they have a long-term plan to throw European and American Christians -- and just Americans -- "under the bus," no matter how long it takes. And that's just for starters, because no other belief system will be tolerated, either, and after these maniacs destroy Israel, they'll finish up with America. Far-fetched? No, not when we look around at our own uninformed, uncaring clumps of humanity, living only for televised hypnosis, lies and purposeful exclusions, all prettied up like a metropolitan tart. Who is watching the national melting pot as it boils over?
There is no room ever in the USA for Sharia Law. Not ever. Islamic law is incompatible with the Constitution of the United States. Sorry, but the U.S. needs to monitor each and every mosque in this country because each has the capacity and ability to weave a threat to our national security. Religious tolerance in the U.S. was never intended to include a pathologically dangerous institution jeopardizing the very lives of non-followers. How long will we remain stupid? Europe would do well to take steps to extract Sharia, though Europe has unfortunately succumbed to its influence in many areas.
We, of course, would be remiss to mention that Libya's fate was due in no small way because of Obama and Hillary Clinton -- oh yes, dame Hillary, who laughed after Qadaffi, Kadaffi or however the world spells the dictator's name, was cut down. The Obama bunch was thrilled to topple Middle East dictators, apparently mentally pumped up with some moronic idea that "the people" would carve out new governments. Enter ISIS, end of that story.
Death by drones in the Middle East: We must use drones as war continues, despite the risks. The innocent are often war casualties because cowards use them as either hostages or fodder. Given the choice between using drones are sending even more American youth to be killed or injured in zones of hostility, drones are the no-brainer solution until something even more effective comes along. And it will. And it has.
Conservatives, Independents and Libertarians rule!
Hillary Clinton's anticipated fade: May she soon retreat into history's dustbin, remembered only as Bill's wife -- a designation, by the way, which reflects honor on neither of these scoundrels.
Baltimore simmers. The recipe remains true to form. A black man dies while police are on the scene, then those wonderful, opportunistic pillars of the community, along with outsiders perpetually ready and able to move in, step up to burn buildings, break windows and loot, loot and loot some more -- all because they're so heartbroken over the demise of a peer. In this case, as in others, the peer is also a thug with a long arrest record. How did he die of a broken spinal cord? Apparently, the mob doesn't care, its components intent only upon creating chaos, harming cops and stealing freebies from store owners who had nothing whatsoever to do with the suspect's death. Mob actions are as predictable as a sunrise, and if not for the perfectly idiotic madam mayor of Baltimore, who actually spoke of giving the mobs space for their destructive tendencies (she should resign immediately), perhaps the National Guard would have been brought in to break heads long before Atlanta's finest ended up with broken bones and at least one coma. If, as reports suggest, gangs are becoming involved in this calamity, intending to murder cops, the drug-funded gangs must be taken out first, as in "lights out." We shudder at the prospect that our new attorney general, Eric Holder in female clothing, near as we can figure, will intervene and make things worse, goaded by Obama's consistently one-sided influence. Meanwhile, all young members of the "black community" need do is tune in to the Internet, where a plethora of sites inciting cop murder and societal destruction abound. And don't think for a moment that radical Islam Web sites aren't contributing a piece of this. Amazing, isn't it, that this stuff always seems to happen in cities ruled and poisoned endlessly by Democrats? They do black youth no favors, and it remains a tragedy that these young people have few options to realize that the real enemy lives among them, voted in over and over by desperate people who believe promises which were never intended to be kept.
The transgendered community: Well, I remain fascinated by the article we quoted a few entries back, in which transgender surgery was portrayed as a disaster for many who experience its social aftershocks, and the revelation that power brokers in the transgender surgery industry go all out to quash public criticism is disturbing. Nevertheless, we're all free to do as we wish as adults in this regard, like Bruce Jenner.
Sam's struggle with gender identity had engulfed his very being for decades, but at last he began the transgender process, emotionally prepared now for the surgical procedure which would finally and officially designate him as a woman. Unfortunately, just as the process of change started to take less of a mental toll on Sam, he was bitten by a werewolf, and every night when the moon was full he changed and changed and changed and kept changing, from man to woman to wolf, to woman to wolf and to man, with no end in sight. Upon further consultation with his psychiatrist and surgeon, Sam's medical professionals sympathetically agreed that the ultimate transformation would have to include not only women's attire, but quality dog food as well. Sam may have become Samantha in transition, but Sam would also have to be content as Fido on those harried evenings when moonlight effected that other change.
Actor Ben Affleck does not own a slave-enhanced cotton plantation, though he may as well, in light of all the hoopla regarding his ancestry. When the PBS TV program, "Finding Your Roots" researched Affleck's ancestry and discovered that his mother's history included a slave owner several generations back, Affleck asked that this little tidbit be omitted from the final edit. The now Affleck-tarnished show yielded to Affleck's request, but the information went public anyway, causing a public relations stir, requiring the "embarrassed" Affleck to come forward and apologize for his attempt to time-machine historical fact.
Affleck's ill-fated attempt at historical erasure couldn't have come along at a better time, for among the wealthy and influential in our little American transformative oligarchy, we also have one Hillary Rodham Clinton, who famously attempted to shape-shift the truth via several statements recently -- her non-immigrant immigrant grandparents, for instance. And Clinton is a woman who knows how to manipulate history with verve -- why have missing government property e-mails stinking up the house when you can just destroy the whole server? Manipulate history to your liking.
I'm writing this a couple of days before a new episode of NBC's "Saturday Night Live" appears, so I've no idea what their writers plan for an opener. But I have a pretty good feeling that they won't open the show with a satirical piece called "Ben Affleck's Cotton Plantation," because he's one of the "good guys," the same good-guy variety of which they fancy themselves.
Dr. Oz continues to be attacked by white-coat zombies among The Walking Med: No sooner had Dr. Mehmet Oz defended himself against a herd of old medical cranks on his TV show Thursday, now a group of professionals from Oz's own Columbia University want him subdued. For one thing, they complain that they are constantly spending time attempting to rebut his statements. Well, too bad, that's their self-pity party.
Oz's primary concern in this affair is his staunch opinion that foods produced via genetically modified organisms (GMOs) should be publicly labeled as such. Conglomerate food entities, on the other hand, are strictly against the public's right to know this little factoid – and millions of dollars have flowed and continue to flow to Congress to make sure they get their way. If there was ever a case to be made for dropping lobbyists from tall buildings, this would appear a prime example. The oopsie fear here is that we just don't yet know the effects of GMOs on human health.
Oz has every right to express his views under the First Amendment, but one suspects his colleagues are a tad too consumed with jealousy or too boozed up with American Medical Association hocus-pocus to allow him to go gently into that good night of alternative medicine.
That's long been a good question -- what makes the AMA or other medical organizations believe they've the right and responsibility to control doctors and guide everybody's health care? And what has health care become? Its progression has morphed the patient into a mere blood sample, a potted office plant whose general practitioner doctor is often forced to worship a computer screen, like it or not, bowing to numbers from the lab and required to honor the pharmaceutical corporate mentality by prescribing this toxin or that toxin.
In years past, I've seen older doctors on the verge of retirement, who opt to sit in their chairs and prescribe meds, barely interested in examining patients as individuals. Then came a brief period of enlightenment when the doctor-patient relationship was popular and each listened to what the other had to say. How times quickly changed! Now, young doctors are educated in pleasing the drug companies first -- as nutritional education, the most essential knowledge of all, remains on the fringe. So, we've come full circle -- from the old doc who lapses into little more than a drug pusher, to the bright young physician who, under corporate pressures involving big pharma, hospital administrations and other medical providers has been groomed to stick to one-size-fits-all lab work and perform fixes with poison pills and the like. Yes, medications are important, but there's much to be said for the way medicine was practiced in days gone by -- and in other cultures around the world.
I vote for Dr. Oz and others who dare to be different by keeping us informed, because we've already seen instances of harm caused by doing everything by the damned book of regimentation encouraged through medical organizations and their paid-off buddies in Congress. Our personal versions of health care should be our choice, even though choices always offer good and bad options. It's your body and your family, folks, not theirs.
Michael Brown's family sues everybody but the kitchen sink in Ferguson. This is no surprise when you realize what kind of people you're dealing with, and these folks are interesting. Here, let me save the court costs – Brown was a thief, a bully and a thug who tried to murder the police officer who legally approached him. Even Holder's generally screwed up Dept. of Justice (when it comes to racial issues) was forced to admit it could find no fault on the officer's part. But the Brown family and its attorney, apparently born to litigate, are off and running. When will we get around to charging the losers in frivolous lawsuits for all court costs? Around the same time Congress tackles tort reform.
Go Hillary, go! Go away, far, far, far away! And take Jeb with you.
Special Delivery: The almost surreal view of a gyrocopter piloted by a postman into Washington during daylight was probably the most captivating air show to hit D.C. since infamous nighttime UFO encounters over the nation's Capitol in the summer of 1952, except this time there was no military pursuit.
Aside from a cacophony from officials about a 61-year-old's criminal act, we also recall a faint memory of a time when Americans were overwhelmingly adventurous, accomplishing feats of daring because action was necessary and somebody had to do the dirty work. Americans weren't John Wayne then -- they were the very characters portrayed by Wayne and other cinematic heroes of a bygone era.
ignore the dangers, the necessities, and instead live out their days on the sofa, consumed by fast food, belches and endless farts as electronic images of people manipulating balls into holes are championed by drunken and numbed crowds going senselessly wild.
Okay, so postman Doug Hughes of Florida decided to attempt something positive instead of merely "going postal." And it wasn't as if his Washington visit was a surprise, because his intentions were firm with a newspaper reporter and, allegedly (?), a call to D.C. officials in advance.
Civil disobedience often means doing the wrong thing to accomplish the right thing. And there are consequences. But up to four years in prison for this? Not a day. Instead, give Hughes congratulations for exposing chinks in our protective armor regarding access to supposedly safe areas in D.C.
Via airmail -- his personal airmail -- his intent was to deliver individual letters to each and every member of the House of Representatives, all about the need for campaign finance reform. In person in the people's place.
Or what used to be the people's place. Actually, I saw his little escapade as representing so much more, symptomatic of a government which no longer listens to or follows the will of its constituents, thus necessitating a communication style more in their faces. Yes, a House, a Senate and a president all doing their own thing, and rarely caring a whit about our concerns. Did the American people want "Obamacare?" Did the American people want illegal immigrants, their diseases and terrible costs to our welfare, health, correctional and education systems shoved down their throats? Did the American people want the EPA dictating everything they can do in their communities, almost right down to a blade of grass on one's own property? Of course not. So maybe it takes the intrusion of a one-man gyrocopter into D.C. to shake up the safe-house of a gaggle of some damned worthless and overpaid so-called public servants perpetually dodging the public, yet looking pretty for the news cameras as they hide behind their finest attire adorned with American flag pins intended just to let us bask in the fantasy projecting that they're always on our side.
Yes, I know what Doug Hughes did was wrong by federal air standards -- but even the U.S. Postal Service should agree that mail by air beats first class delivery every time.
More deaths at the hands of police: To reiterate -- no matter the circumstances, running from, resisting or physically attacking the cops is never wise. The times they are a raging', and the reasons do not involve race. Nevertheless, Obama's storm troopers are sure to initiate "official" investigations of several cases around the country, in search of racism rather than guilt among the dead.. In Oklahoma, a 73-year-old volunteer officer fatally shot a man with a gun he thought was his taser -- but say what the mainstream media leaves out. The suspect ran and had apparently just been involved in selling an illegal gun. How many lives were saved by stopping an illegal gun sale? Yes, tragedy all around, but so many incidents could be avoided by following lawful orders and avoiding confrontations or escapes. Our sympathy for dead suspects increasingly sours because nearly all of the recent lot caused provocation among cops, a reason for instant, albeit unintended disaster through the heat of the moment. As for the suspect who may have died mysteriously from a cervical injury while secured in a police van -- believe it or not, self-injuries occasionally happen which cause death. But we await the autopsy.
Climate changes, but the one-track political mind does not: President Obama and his cackling groupies are out there again, mouthing the words, all the evidence is in and man-made climate change is real. No, the evidence is based upon computer predictions, like a page out of some futuristic science fiction story written by a robot. This sly showman can reverberate all he wants about the most this or that in "recorded history," but his version of recorded history doesn't reach back all that far. Additionally, extreme periods of both cold and hot apparently extend way back before human influence -- and humans -- even existed. As usual, the length of Obama's reach with executive orders depends upon the ignorance of his followers, of which there is plenty. Would love to see this fraud and accompanying bunch in prison, but (sigh. . .) looks as though we'll be forced to continue counting the days until his term expires.
Andrew Cuomo in Cuba: New York's megalomaniac governor claims he went to Cuba to encourage trade between NY and Cuba, but we suspect he may have journeyed there at taxpayer expense to pick up tricks of the dictator trade from the Castro brothers, as Cuomo already rules NY as his own little empire. In return, both iron-fist regulated businesses and overtaxed residents continue to flee the state as if running from a bedbug infestation. Don't believe the slick TV commercials appearing nationally about New York's business-friendly climate.
Ted Cruz will be vilified by the mainstream media and his own party, because he is genuine and honorable, not the typical career politician who begins to rot from the inside the moment he or she cozies up with D.C. parasites. Cruz has intelligently argued nine cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, a definite plus as he makes a presidential bid. If it is true that he is despised by most of his senate colleagues because he doesn't think conspire as they think conspire, so much the better.
Refugees flee Libya for a better life in Europe, precipitating tragedy in the Mediterranean Sea. Yeah, and it's now documented that Muslims are throwing Christians overboard to their deaths simply because they are Christians. As Muslims continue to overrun Europe, I hope our own politicians in the U.S. quickly and decisively put a hold on Muslim refugees coming here, because a significant portion surely have no intention of assimilating, and instead feel compelled to change or kill the rest of us. Sorry USA, sorry world -- no more Mr. Nice Guy when it comes to the Muslim insurgency. We can afford it neither strategically, economically, nor by way of common sense. Do not accommodate an infection whose cure increasingly eludes our reach.
Dr. Oz under attack by medical morons and corporate thugs: So-o-o-o-o-, now it comes to light that a team of "doctors" attacking Dr. Mehmet Oz and demanding his withdrawal from the board at Columbia University may own a rack of little personal closet skeletons. Seems they and the corporate (government?) buddies to whom they're apparently joined at the hip were urinated because Oz wants food with GMOs labeled as such, and the public deserves to know. Said to be non-practicing physicians, among these phonies is a doctor who served prison time for Medicaid fraud -- and a crackpot who claimed the nuclear disaster at Fukushima was beneficial because escaping radiation would cure cancer afflicting Japanese residents. Oz is listed to explore all of this on his program this week (Thursday?), and if even half of what has gone viral is true, we hope he fries these folks' reputations with verbiage equivalent to hot olive oil.
On a similar note, it's bad enough that the doctor-patient relationship has effectively been crushed with the introduction of cumbersome "Obamacare" regulations and the need for health care providers to bury their faces in computer screens with their hands attached to keyboards simultaneously, while patients become 10-minute office decorations regarded only for the moment.

Welcome to Henbogle. I'll share spouse Dan's and my experiences as rural Maine homeowners, dedicated DIYer's and gardeners (add cooking for me). We love small-town living, and have been fixing up our 1881 Cape since we bought it in December, 2000. Our latest complication -- we are experimenting with chicken raising... we've ordered 6 Hubbard's Golden Comet chicks, which will be arriving in a few weeks!
Then there are the eggs, the chickens, the cats, the slugs, the squash bugs, and our grand plan for chickens as rototillers -- with the girls' help, our garden will grow by 150 square feet this summer, and be pre-fertilized. And the cats should find the chickens vastly entertaining, we MUST keep our catly responsibilities in mind!
Still, there was the deciding factor.... end of life care. I am pretty sure I could not actually bring myself to kill the chickens -- or help Dan do it for that matter. I'm hoping the girls will be almost pets with more benefits than the dog (not hard). The local farm supply store cinched the deal when they told us about a nearby business -- you bring them the chicken, you come back later to collect the chicken, neatly packaged in butcher's paper. We do intend to keep our girls for as long as we can -- how long remains to be seen.
Of course, the girls will need a hen house. When planning our chicken coop, I soon realized we needed to hold ourselves in check after Dan and I debated for 20 minutes on the merits of finding some remnant vinyl flooring to put in the coop! Then there's the antique dayight window we will use, providing ambience, lighting, and ventilation. It eventually dawned on us that we were planning a chicken castle, thus our decision to name the coop Henbogle after the Scottish estate "Glenbogle" featured on the BBC series Monarch of the Glen, which we're currently watching thanks to NetFlix.

WWI in historic newspapers: October Revolution
Posted on 24 June, 2014 by eurnews — 1 Comment ↓
This week one hundred years ago, on 28th of June 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated. This event triggered the outbreak of WWI one month later. How did European newspapers of the time cover the crucial events and the political opinions in this terrible war? Did the news travel fast? Europeana Newspapers has gathered historic newspaper material to illustrate how different European newspapers reported on WWI. This week we'll publish a series of three articles, each covering one important moment in WWI. Today in the second article of our series, in which we cover the October Revolution.
1917 was a pivotal and eventful year in Russia's history. The October Revolution laid the foundation for a new world power to come but it cannot be seen without the preceding February Revolution.
Widespread strikes and demonstrations held during the last week of February (according to the Julian calendar or the second week of March according to the Gregorian calendar) led to the abdication Tsar Nicholas II. Romanov rule commencing with Tsar Michael about three centuries earlier, was brought to an end by the refusal to accept the crown by Michael – the brother of Nicholas II.[1]
Das Interessante Blatt: covering the February revolution in Russia, that led to the abdication Tsar Nicholas II. (Collection National Library Austria)
Das Interessante Blatt: the abdication of Tsar Nicolas II (Collection National Library Austria).
The political vacuum left by the abdication of the Tsar was filled by two actors: On the one hand, the liberal Provisional Government first led by Prince George Lvov, then after uprisings in July by Alexander Kerensky. On the other hand the 'Petrograd Soviet of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies', the organ of the political left. Although about 700 soviets (i.e. councils) emerged all over the country in March and April, the one in Petrograd, today's St. Petersburg, was the most powerful.[2]
Kriegszeitung der 4. Armee: caricature of mother Russia (Collection National Library Austria)
Kikeriki (humoristic newspaper): caricature of the February revolution. (Collection National Library Austria)
During 1917 the constellation within the political left changed dramatically. Initially a minority in the Petrograd Soviet[3], the Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin, gained more and more influence. Finally, in the fall of 1917 Lenin ordered preparations for the seizure of power, though without a definitive date. He argued: "History will not forgive us if we do not assume power now."[4]
Interestingly it was a newspaper related incident that prompted the October Revolution. A press that printed two Bolshevik newspapers was raided in early morning October 24th (or November 6th according to the Gregorian calendar) by the Provisional Government and as Rex A. Wade summarized: "Unbeknownst to anyone, including the Bolshevik leaders, the October Revolution had begun."[5]
The following armed coup, prepared by Lev Bronshtein, better known as Trotsky, swiftly brought the Bolsheviks to power, ultimately setting in motion "the most radical revolution the world had yet seen."[6]
De Telegraaf, 9 November 1917 (Collection National Library of the Netherlands)
De tribune, 9 November 1917 (Collection National Library of the Netherlands)
On the 9th of November 1917 the Dutch newspaper Telegraaf opens with the heading Anarchy in Russia – Lenin Rules. The social democrat newspaper De Tribune, very much interested in the situation in Russia, is not so fast. On November 9 it still contains an analysis of the Kerensky government.
Bozner Zeitung 9 November 1917 (Collection Friedrich Tessmann Library)
On November 9th the Tiroler newspapers Bozner Zeitung opens with big headlines "New coup in Russia. The Minister arrested, Kerensky fled. Petersburg in the power of the Military Revolutionary Committee. Demands immediate cease-fire and peace". On page 3 of the same newspaper a longer article titled Revolution in Russia is printed. Vienna and St. Petersburg report on the victory of Lenin and his social revolution, his demands for democracy as well as the arrest of the former ministers and the flight of Kerensky.
Brixener Chronik (Collection Friedrich Tessmann Library)
Der Burggräfler, 14 November 1917 (Friedrich Tessmann Library)
On Wednseday 14th of November the Brixner Chronik heads "Kerensky again in charge?". The article relays on reports from Stockholm, according to which it is rumored that Kerensky prevailed in bloody fight over the Bolsheviks – not least thanks to support from England. Kerensky hopes to put down the counter revolution. But the outcome of the Civil War, according to the Brixner Chronik, is still uncertain at this time. On the same day the Der Burggräfler printed a front page story titled "The Russian Comedy". It tells conflicting news about victory or defeat of the Bolsheviks that are reported from St. Petersburg, which rather confuse than clarifies the situation. The article is written in a judgmental tone and decisions and statements of the Russians are ridiculed.
Kurjer Warszawski, 8 November 1917 (National Library Poland)
The first information about the October Revolution in the Polish newspaper Kurjer Warszawski is a telegram that came via Stockholm on November 8th. The Telegram speaks about a civil war in Russia. A day later, November 9th the same newspaper runs an article about "Civil war in Russia". The article informs about the capture of the Winter Palace, proclamation of the Soviet of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies.
Sabah, 11 November 1917 (National Library of Turkey)
Vakit, 11 November 1917, (National Library of Turkey)
The reflections of the October Revolution reached Ottoman Capital several days later. In the most important newspapers of the period there is no proper information about inland affairs of Russia.On November 11th Sabah newspaper states "New government in Russia, under Lenin's leadership." The article reports from St. Petersburg that Lenin will give an ultimatum to the Allied Powers to engage in peace negotiations with his cabinet. The Soviet government is formed, with Lenin as Chairman. Trotsky, originally Jewish, will head the Army. Vakit, another Turkish newspaper, reports on the front page, on the same day: "New era in Russia". The article talks about the bloody days in St. Petersburg. Where is Kerensky? The collision of two forces: War and Peace. Lenin gives ultimatum. Seizure of the Winter Palace. Revolution committees. Second declaration. The looting of military.

Former Leafs captain Mats Sundin could soon come to a decision on his playing future, according to his agent.
"We are driving towards making a decision by Dec. 15," Sundin's agent, J.P. Barry, told the Vancouver Sun. "Right now we are trying to narrow the teams down. I have to ask some questions. There have been so many teams that have contacted us late, so I need to go through the process and make sure I give Mats all the information."
Barry said the plan is to come up with a list of three to four teams by Dec.15. From there, the Sundin camp will move forward.
Many of the updates on Sundin have been out of Vancouver, where Canucks GM Mike Gillis has offered a two-year, $20 million (U.S.) deal to Sundin.
Other teams believed to be interested include Montreal, the Rangers and Anaheim.
Leafs GM Brian Burke said he would investigate whether Sundin would be a good fit in Toronto.
The likelihood of a Leafs return, though, remains very slim.
Defenceman Alexander Sulzer scored a pair of second-period power-play goals to lead the visiting Milwaukee Admirals over the Toronto Marlies 6-2 last night.
Forwards Nick Spaling, Ryan Jones, Mike Santorelli and Anders Thuresson also scored for the Admirals in front of an announced crowd of 2,793 at Ricoh Coliseum.
Captain Ben Ondrus and Jiri Tlusty replied for the Marlies.
• Devils centre Bobby Holik, 36, is curious to see if his former linemate Claude Lemieux succeeds in his comeback attempt at age 43 with the San Jose Sharks' AHL affiliate.
But when asked if the intense Lemieux compares with NHL bad boy Sean Avery, Holik said: "They should not be mentioned in the same sentence, ever. And Sean Avery shouldn't be mentioned, period."
• The slumping Buffalo Sabres called up rookie Nathan Gerbe from their AHL affiliate yesterday.

WOL.news - Interesting Information About North Central PA
PREVIEW: Bloomsburg University Men's Basketball To Battle Penn State In Exhibition Contest Sunday
The Bloomsburg University men's basketball team will make the short trip west to battle the Nittany Lions of Penn State University in an exhibition contest on Sunday, November 5. Tip-off from the Bryce Jordan Center is scheduled for 12:00 p.m.
The Huskies have played a couple of scrimmages over the last week but this will be a huge test for head coach John Sanow and the team as they prepare for next Friday's season-opener against Penn State Hazleton.
"We want to compete," said Sanow about the opportunity. "We want to go in there and, first and foremost, play hard. We're probably going to be nervous early but once we get over that we want to settle down, execute on both ends of the floor, and compete for 40 minutes."
Sanow will be entering his 12th season at the helm of the Huskies and he has guided the team to a 133-163 overall record in his first 11 years. Bloomsburg has only three returners from last year's team that finished 15-12 overall and 11-11 in divisional play. The Huskies earned a home game in the opening round of the PSAC tournament but dropped an 84-77 decision to West Chester University. It marked the second straight year that the Huskies made the conference playoffs.
Last week, Bloomsburg was picked to finish seventh in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division according to the preseason coaches poll. Ten newcomers join the team this season with three of those - Hashim Moore (Sunrise, Fla./Hun School), Austin Harriott (Philadelphia, Pa./Hun School), and Khary Mauras (Reading, Pa./Reading) - transferring in from Division I schools. Harriott spent one season at Loyola (Md.) while Mauras played a year at Old Dominion. The third Division I transfer, Moore, will be a graduate student after playing both basketball and football during his undergraduate career at Princeton University.
Returning for the Huskies are redshirt senior Christian Mortellite (Hammonton, N.J./Hammonton), senior Kyle-Michael Rose (Middletown, Del./Sanford School), and redshirt sophomore Sam Saxton (York, Pa./Central York). Mortellite's younger brother, Peyton Mortellite (Hammonton, N.J./Hammonton), is also on this year's roster after redshirting as a true freshman a season ago.
The elder Mortellite finished as the NCAA Division II leader in three-pointers made per game (4.07) last year and earned All-PSAC Eastern Division First Team accolades for the second consecutive season. He was also honored by the NABC as a Second Team All-District selection – the first player from Bloomsburg to earn an NABC honor since Dontahe Jordan in 2011-12. The sharpshooter led the Huskies in scoring, averaging 22.7 points per game becoming the first Huskies' player since Tom Barlow, who averaged 20.3 points per game during the 2002-03 season, to average at least 20 points per game in a single campaign. His 22.7 points per game average was the third-highest figure in the PSAC. Mortellite broke the single-season school record for points with 613 last year which broke the previous record of 600 set by Mike Ellzy during the 1996-97 season. He has moved into fourth place on the school's all-time scoring list with 1,484 points. He needs 428 points to surpass Ellzy's school-record of 1,911. Mortellite also broke the school-record for most threes made in a season (110) and three-point attempts in a season (255). He has also moved into second on the school's all-time career three-pointers made list with 227. He needs 11 to break Lorenzo Christmas' record of 237 he set from 2010 to 2014.
Expected to provide help for Mortellite are Rose and Saxton. Rose averaged career-highs in points (7.4) and rebounds (3.9) while blocking 28 shots in 27 games last season. The senior has averaged 5.6 points and 3.5 rebounds in two seasons with the Huskies. He also has 69 blocked shots for his two-year career. Saxton, meanwhile, averaged 4.6 points and made 17-of-33 three-pointers last season.
Penn State, meanwhile, finished 15-18 last season with a 6-12 mark in the Big Ten. The Nittany Lions knocked off Nebraska in the opening round of the conference tournament but then saw their season come to an end with a 78-51 loss to Michigan State in the second round.
The Nittany Lions return five of their top six scorers from last season, all of whom averaged at least 7.7 points per game. Sophomore Tony Carr led the team as a rookie by averaging 13.2 points per game a year ago. Sophomore Lamar Stevens (12.7), senior Shep Garner (12.0), redshirt sophomore Mike Watkins (9.7), and junior Josh Reaves (7.7) also return for head coach Patrick Chambers who has guided Penn State to four consecutive 15-win seasons - the first-ever time in program history during the Big Ten era.
"We're really looking forward to it," said Sanow. "Our team has been working hard all preseason and now we have an opportunity to go to Penn State and play at the Bryce Jordan Center against a Big Ten team - it's something that's really exciting for our players and our program."
After the exhibition contest on Sunday, the Huskies will open the season for real on Friday, November 10, when they host Penn State Hazleton at the Nelson Field House. Start time is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.

This is a continuation of our discussion about how tourism professionals can bridge the urban/rural divide.
Whether you're a tourism professional or volunteer, or just an average resident, you can do more to encourage mind-broadening travel by your locals.
For professionals, remember that promoting outbound travel by your locals is in your best interest because travelers are more likely to support tourism programs locally. I'm sure you could use more support for your tourism efforts.
Did you know travel is part of the humanities? That means you can seek humanities grants to promote some of your travel and tourism projects.
When you're working at making travel more common among your locals, you want to start by making it normal.
In fact, make it feel odd to not travel.
Believe it or not, what seems to be "normal" is a big driver of people's behavior.
Bring your travelers out front and center. Help arrange for local travelers to do local presentations and speeches to local groups, organizations, and schools.
Partner up with your other local organizations and groups to bring travel into what they already do.
Do you have a local photography contest, maybe at the county fair? Try to get "travel photography" added as a category.
Do you have an art gallery or museum? See if you can start a "Destinations" series of exhibits or activities.
Does your town have a role in travel or transportation? Play up past travel ties with your historical society, while connecting to contemporary travel opportunities.
Think regionally. Promote travel to your nearby towns. We all have a terrible case of "never been there." We may live only a few dozen miles from something amazing, but we've never been there.
Connect with neighboring towns to add up your related destinations. If you have a winery, and the next town has winery, and the next town after that has a winery, that's a regional trail.
Look for the regional travel promotion that's already happening. You may have a regional tourism association, a tourism trail, or a scenic byway that is a natural partner.
You don't have to start from scratch to promote travel. Get in touch with local groups that already travel. They are your partners to encourage more outbound travel, especially as you work to promote travel to more diverse locations and trying out different activities. They are also great places to find likely speakers for presentations.
Who are these groups who travel?
Look at youth sports and activities that involve travel to neighboring towns. How about church and faith-based groups? Are they headed to camp or to other local destinations? What about group travel? Maybe your bank, alumni group, senior citizens, or others put together group trips.
Don't forget your adventure and sporting groups who go hiking, kayaking, camping, RVing, or geocaching. There's a ready source of travelers to connect with.
Your locals already go to some big cities to shop and do business. I do. I'm sure you do, too. It's just part of living in a small town these days. Since that's already happening, why not make more of it?
Partner with nearby cities that locals already visit, to promote more than just shopping. If you can build a relationship with them, you can get more in-depth. If they're not receptive, you can still do a lot on your own. Promote cultural activities. Find out about the museums, art, exhibitions, and hands-on activities.
Promote activities that give immersion with groups different than your locals. Food is always a safe place to start, so encourage trying restaurants from different cultures. That's an easy one in big cities.
Art is a good next step. Look for art exhibitions, performances, story-telling, and cultural centers that offer more of a chance to connect.
When Sheila wrote Travel is Still Fatal to Narrow-Mindedness, she took a moment to reflect on the larger importance of what she does as a traveler and as a supporter of tourism professionals.
"Even if travel is, on the surface, not a world-shaking thing to do, it can have far-reaching results," she said.
Thanks very much for your thoughts, Pam. Just because we may personally feel more comfortable living in a city, the suburbs, a small town, or the absolute "middle of nowhere," it doesn't mean that we can't enjoy a variety of travel experiences in lots of different places.
And really, how could anyone want to miss rhubarb wine with a side of fireflies?!

Experts Debate Expansion of Assisted Dying Legislation to Psychiatric Patients
Justin Karter
Recently, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that adults with a "grievous and irremediable" condition have a right to medically assisted suicide. In an effort to legislate this right, a parliamentary committee was formed that suggested extending this definition to nonterminal medical conditions, including psychiatric disorders. In response, the Canadian Medical Association Journal printed an editorial by bioethics and public health experts Scott Kim and Tudo Lemmens. Kim and Lemmens argue that extending assisted dying laws to include patients diagnosed with psychiatric disorders "will put many vulnerable and stigmatized people at risk."
The Canadian government recently passed bill C-14, which did not extend the assisted dying measures to psychiatric conditions, but the editorial warns that this issue may not yet be settled, as the government has indicated that it is still studying the issue.
"Arguments for including mental illness as an eligible condition for assisted dying almost always focus on severe depression. The assumption is that doctors can accurately determine medical futility and decisional capacity, with the implication that no ineligible person would receive assisted death," Kim and Lemmens write. "However, evidence suggests this focus is too narrow and fails to consider real threats to patients with mental illness."
Previous studies out of Belgium, and the Netherlands reveal that patients who would meet the "irremediable" standard for assisted dying with severe depression might actually be able to achieve remission if given access to high-quality treatment.
"The assumption that only patients with true irremediable depressive disorders would have access to assisted dying — after careful assessment of their decision-making capacity based on rigorous thresholds — is not supported by evidence," they write.
Another concern is that some patients who request assisted dying while in an extreme state might not meet the criteria for mental capacity necessary to make such a final decision. While "psychiatric diagnoses should not be equated with incapacity," the authors point out that past research has shown that psychiatrists report difficulty evaluating decision-making capacity.
"We believe there is a serious gap between the idealized basis upon which assisted dying for patients with psychiatric conditions is advocated and the reality of its practice, as reflected in evidence from Belgium and the Netherlands." The conclude. "A policy for access to assisted dying by nonterminally ill patients with psychiatric conditions will put many vulnerable and stigmatized people at risk."

Suicide in a Culture of Mandated Happiness – Who's to Blame?
Adam Maier-Clayton: Assisted Suicide and Mental Illness
Editorial Takes On Conflicts of Interest and Propaganda in Psychiatry
yeah_I_survived July 6, 2016 at 5:30 pm
While I am morally opposed to suicide, I view it as a civil right ((not something I would do, but I think other people should have the right to suicide)). What bothers me about "assisted dying" is that it brings suicide under the control of the medical establishment and government. In addition, I think that such legislation puts all kinds of vulnerable people–both those with and those without psychiatric labels–in a potentially dangerous situation. With the mentally distressed, "assisted dying" gives Mental Health, Inc. an even greater level of power and control over "patients."
oldhead July 8, 2016 at 10:38 pm
I don't think someone has the absolute right to commit suicide in my face, though at that point it's sort of academic. I don't think the state should be involved except maybe when someone is too utterly incapacitated to facilitate their own death. Generally speaking I think someone who wants to leave their 3D matrix that badly should be responsible for engineering their own way out, and without unduly traumatizing others..

The 1942 "Euthanasia" Debate In The American Journal Of Psychiatry:
http://www.brown.uk.com/teaching/HEST5001/joseph.pdf
The_cat July 8, 2016 at 6:23 pm
But the psychiatric system is so good at providing a living death. Its no coincidence that people say those pills make me feel like a zombie.
I am alive but can't feel cause all my dopamine receptors are antagonized. If I could use words to describe the hell of anhedonia I would make Steven king look like an amateur writer. It sucks.
So its my argument that psychiatry already provides assisted death.
I recently met another Zyprexa victim that's still takes the stuff, I know how that suck the life out zombifying poison works. Dude was sharing some deep thoughts and ideas with family so they got him some "help" Zy-prex-hell.
What makes Zy-prex-hell truly evil and diabolical is that outside observers will observe the victim and say they seem "better" and they will but the victims hell is that anhedonia blockaid, that robbery of the ability to feel the reward of fun activities or that seance of awe and wonder from maybe seeing something like a shooting star or a trip to a museum. Total robbery that even the victim can't name or identify.
Anyway giving the authority to say who can live and who can die to psychiatry is a real bad idea considering their track record with ethics and morals and stuff. These are the people that drug up foster kids and help the drug companies hide side effects before marketing to children.
If you want a living death psychiatry is real good at it.
oldhead July 8, 2016 at 8:02 pm
After "Assisted Dying" legislation is passed will we then get "Outpatient Assisted Dying" (AOD) legislation? Dr. Murphy?
liberalminority July 10, 2016 at 5:55 am
All of you are immoral for supporting any inch of this.
No one has a good reason to be euthanized by the state, or by themselves just because of feeling really sad?
People are sad people other people aren't doing enough to make them happy, so everyone here is responsible when someone is too sad to live because you are selfish with your own happiness that you don't want to share it with others.
rebellb July 13, 2016 at 6:37 pm
I think psychiatry is actually making people less happy and it causes much more "depression" or sadness(actually misery) than it alleviates. Psychiatry likely causes more suicides than it prevents.
markps2 July 11, 2016 at 12:10 pm
Believing a (first) diagnosis without a second or third opinion is a mistake, both in psychiatry and in the prediction of death.
A doctor (Dr. Paul Saba) is contesting the new law on the grounds of the percentages of bad diagnosis.
"He argued the medical field is filled with errors in diagnoses and prognoses and too often patients are making the difficult choice of dying based on erroneous facts." http://globalnews.ca/news/2815494/opponents-of-assisted-dying-law-ready-for-court-challenge/
Medically "assisted" killing sounds very scary to me, even for those with physical disabilities. It is even scarier for people with the social disabilities imposed by bogus psychiatric labels. Too often, medical killing has been perpetrated by fascists and I think there may be a danger that psychiatric "euthanasia" might be motivated by stigma rather than the true desires of the labeled person. Greedy relatives could enter the picture too. Even though I disagree with "suicide prevention" as an "excuse" for psychiatric intervention, psychiatrically "facilitated" "mercy" killing sounds pretty scary. I read that psychiatrically labeled people die 25 years younger than "normal"people as it is. I think that is because of the toxic drugs. Psychiatry may already be slowly killing people, likely as part of the depopulation agenda. Jim Marrs has authored a book about the depopulation agenda.

The problem with the 'near death" criterion is that at leaves a lot of people stranded whose medical conditions are such that without assistance they are not able to achieve the relief that they seek, despite them being utterly "competent" and fitting every other criteria.

If you own a property that has you subsequently discover has a restrictive covenant placed upon it then it may stop you from developing it as you had hoped, or force you to alter it back to a previous state.
While the restriction should be discovered during searches and due diligence before purchase, this is not always the case. Lost deeds and unenforceable or wrong wording in covenants can be problematic and sometimes restrictive covenants only come to light when you come to sell your property or renew your mortgage.
As you can image, this is a complex area that requires specialist knowledge and guidance.

P&P Live!: Rebecca Carroll — SURVIVING THE WHITE GAZE - in conversation with Nicole Chung
Tuesday, February 9, 2021 - 6:00pm
This event will be streamed online as part of our P&P Live! Series.
Rebecca Carroll discusses her memoir, SURVIVING THE WHITE GAZE, with author Nicole Chung.
In Surviving the White Gaze, Rebecca Carroll grew up the only black person in her rural New Hampshire town. Adopted at birth by artistic parents who believed in peace, love, and zero population growth, her early childhood was loving and idyllic—and yet she couldn't articulate the deep sense of isolation she increasingly felt as she grew older.
Everything changed when she met her birth mother, a young white woman, who consistently undermined Carroll's sense of her blackness and self-esteem. Carroll's childhood became harrowing, and her memoir explores the tension between the aching desire for her birth mother's acceptance, the loyalty she feels toward her adoptive parents, and the search for her racial identity. As an adult, Carroll forged a path from city to city, struggling along the way with difficult boyfriends, depression, eating disorders, and excessive drinking. Ultimately, through the support of her chosen black family, she was able to heal.
Rebecca Carroll is host of the podcast Come Through with Rebecca Carroll, and a cultural critic at WNYC. She is the author of several interview-based books about race and blackness in America, including the award-winning Sugar in the Raw: Voices of Young Black Girls in America.
She'll be in conversation with Nicole Chung, is the author of the nationally bestselling memoir All You Can Ever Know. All You Can Ever Know was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, a semifinalist for the PEN Open Book Award, an Indies Choice Honor Book, and an official Junior Library Guild Selection.

Lawmakers approve school funding in final push before Monday deadline
Minnesota legislators took a Sunday morning break, but were back at work in the Capitol by the early afternoon, racing to get their work done before Monday's mandatory adjournment of the 2013 session.
The Senate approved a $15.7 billion school funding bill on a 41-26 vote. The Associated Press reports the bill accounts for about 40 percent of what the state will spend over the next two years. The House approved the same measure at about 2 a.m.
MPR reports the House was in session through the night from Saturday into Sunday, debating a bill that would let child care providers and personal care attendants vote on whether to join unions. Republican opponents of the bill offered many amendments that were debated at length before the DFL leadership finally called a 7 a.m. recess with the issue still unresolved.
The House's to-do list also included the transportation funding bill and the tax bill, which came back from a conference committee late Saturday night.
The Associated Press reports there's also some talk of putting together a miniature version of the package of construction projects that failed to pass the House on Friday. The slimmed-down package would fund just of the few of the projects.
Repairs to the State Capitol head that list. The Star Tribune reports that while lawmakers were talking a pipe sprang a leak, sending water raining down from the ceiling into one of the tunnels beneath the historic building.
Among the issues that were settled Sunday: lawmakers will not be getting raises this year. Also, the House unanimously approved a bill that contains protections for Minnesotans facing foreclosure.
With the tax bill emerging from the conference committee, Minnesota is edging closer to raising income taxes on the highest-earning two percent of residents. Fox 9 spoke with tax analysts who said that while the tax hike will raise money to balance the budget and increase school funding, there are also some risks in looking to such a small slice of the populace to beef up state funds.
The incomes in that highest tax bracket tend to be more volatile since they're subject to fluctuations in the stock market and the variables of running a business. Some of the 40,000 households in that bracket may also find ways to shelter income or may move out of state, experts say.

Seeing my Privates
"Our technology has exceeded our humanity"
-Albert Einstein
A friend of mine posted this link last night about a currently unavailable app called Girls Around Me. The writer of the blog/review recounts telling a group of friends about an app which allowed someone to find people with public facebook profiles in a certain geographic radius. These didn't have to be people on a friend's list, but anyone who had logged onto facebook from their iphone, basically allowing the user to see facebook users nearby and view their profiles, though it could be set to locate boys, girls or both. Predictably, the boys of the group thought it was funny while the girl's thought it was invasive and upsetting. The rationale for the female apprehension was that a guy could find a cute girl at a bar, look at her pics to see what kind of drinks she likes, what some of her interests are and where she is at a certain moment so that he could go intercept her and come off as Mr. Right, either through slick conversation of liberally applied "frosty margaritas."
By the article's end, the writer describes how his friends, males included, were all uneasy about the invasiveness of the app, and describes how its main function in his eyes was to hammer home the importance of being aware of your facebook privacy settings, and online privacy in general. I don't take issue with this conclusion, and the company which created the app maintains that people could always have adjusted their privacy settings. Rather what I take issue with is the knee-jerk reaction to this technology because it is misdirected, as I find most indignation typically is.
The girls in the article took issue with Apple and Facebook for allowing this app to be created and sold, and of course with the potential rapists and stalkers who would undoubtedly try and use it to rape and stalk more efficiently. Because if there is anything the ambitious rape/stalker values it is maximizing his preying to prowling ratio.
Possible Tagline: "Girls Around Me: The industry leader in streamlining raping and stalking operations"
…or perhaps…
"Girls Around Me: Rape Solutions for the Modern Predator"
In the case of the FB/Apple rage and the uproar which ultimately caused the app to be shut down: is this really the answer? App censorship? Making something illegal or removing it entirely is not the proper way to deal with a problem but that logic seems to dominate any thinking about problem resolution. If we ban enough potentially offensive (or actually offensive) things, will the ne'er-do-wells among us, constantly biding their time waiting to pounce, finally get the message that we don't appreciate the threat they pose and leave us alone? Of course not. When has a law or a ban or a removal of something ever stopped or curtailed undesired behaviours and interests? But clamoring for new rules is a lot easier than taking time to think critically and address causes I suppose.
With regard to the so-called "stalkers and rapists" whom this app served as an enabler for, I have to ask: has this app really been that much of a boon?, and do they even really exist? Now I don't mean to downplay the problem of rape and obsessive behaviours like stalking, and I am not claiming anything like the stats being overblown because I don't know the stats and frankly even one incident is too many. But still, do these people really exist? I don't question the possibility that given a certain sequence of events, moods, and opportunities that rapes can happen. But when people talk about rapists and other criminals like them, their rhetoric always seems to allude to a shadowy group which is constantly watchful in alleys outside of clubs, waiting for an unescorted girl in a miniskirt and wobbly with booze to swoop in on.
First rule of 'Rape Club'…
Certainly to such a group as this, Girls Around Me would be a boon, revolutionizing the rape game by allowing the predator a menu of sorts, but I question the very existence of this secretive cabal of rapists and stalkers.
Now remember who is saying this: I am someone who has no problem believing that there are certain powers which pull strings behind the curtains and who are the true controllers of the world we think our "democratically elected" leaders run, however I can't co-sign the prospect that there are rapists everywhere among us**, and certainly I can't co-sign the idea that they are legion.
Well, one exception comes to mind…
When I hear criticisms of this technology, I see fear that is not unfounded but misdirected. People are so worried about the implications of technology that they will still use anyway because it is actually amazing and has the potential to be incredibly useful if everyone completely opened their privacy settings. But we can't because we have reason to fear being completely open with strangers: why?
Again we come back to "why," my oft-asked favourite question. Why should we be afraid of other people? Like I said, the fear, though overblown, is not unfounded. Why might someone use this or any technology to hurt us?
To those like me who fear institutions more than their fellow man: why would you be afraid of an organization or government using this or any social media to spy on you or data-mine you? Why would they want to data-mine and spy in the first place?
In my head it is clear that these potential misappropriations of technology in no way reflect poorly on the technology or its creator, but rather on the system which puts us at odds with each other to the point where we would use potentially beneficial creations as weapons. If you think about it, all technologies are neutral, yet they get blamed for misuse and the violence which is integral to the system which applies them.
Think I'm full of shit? Mebbe, but let me quickly demonstrate how any technology can be hijacked for violent purposes:
1. Toothbrush
What's more wholesome and beneficial than a toothbrush? It conjures up images of young children learning hygiene and taking charge of their dental health. But to some, this revolutionary technology has far more sinister applications:
"Late night I hear toothbrushes scrapin' on the floor/
Niggaz gettin' they shanks just in case the war/
pop off!.."
-Snoop Dogg Lion, Murder Was The Case
2. Pencil
Arguably one of the greatest pieces of technology ever created. Allows us to solidify ideas on paper and gives us something to chew on when stumped. But it can be repurposed…
"…My little homey Baby-Boo took a pencil in his neck/
And he probly won't make it to see 22/
I put that on my mama, 'Imma ride for you Baby-Boo'…"
-Snoop Lion, Murder Was The Case
I don't think anyone needs me to post a picture of fire nor tell of how it allowed us to cook food, smelt metal and power early machines. Without saying it is more useful than pencils have been, it has certainly been more fundamental to our early development. However, it too has been repurposed for negative uses:
I suppose we should ban fire now?
4. Rocketry
It can be either this:
Saturn V Rocket, the kind that sent to the astronauts to the moon
Trident II Nuclear Missile
I hope these examples make it clear that technology is in and of itself benign. Certainly some might be inherently dangerous, such as nuclear technologies, but they are not by themselves malicious or violent. It takes an aberrant and poorly socialized human being (or human species) to look at something and decide, hey instead of using that for the good of all I think I'll use it to kill…
…or rape, as the case may be.
**In a certain manner of speaking, I think there actually are rapists everywhere among us. Perhaps more than even the most paranoid father of virginal young daughters might think. For I think most anyone can rape or commit a violent act given the right (wrong) circumstances. It is folly when people, in shock from stories of a horrible crime, ask, "How could someone do that to another human being?," or even worse when they maintain, "I could never do something like that."
Well, no one is born evil (evil doesn't even exist) or born a rapist, much less conceived that way. So the factors which contributed to their aberrant behaviour must be environmental, which means that anyone can be susceptible to becoming a predator or violent if certain conditions are met. When we are told as kids that we "can be anything," there is actually a lot more truth there than we realize.

The Scillitan Martyrs could not be persuaded to avoid death by 'being sensible' about their beliefs.
Opinion Christian history
'Come to your senses, renounce your faith, and your life will be saved'
The passion of the Scillitan Martyrs
Kylie Beach | September 22nd, 2021 05:15 PM	| Add a Comment
As Australia's conversation about religious freedom continues, I recently found myself delving into the history of Christian persecution.
While I discovered many bloody tales of senseless violence, some deaths struck me as being guided by a perverse logic.
In ancient Roman provinces, for example, the strategy for dealing with other religions was syncretism. Rome was okay with people practising their beliefs, as long as they practised some emperor worship alongside it. As long as it didn't get in the way of them bowing to Rome. As long as their religion didn't interfere with a power structure that positioned Rome at the top.
Christians presented a problem. Not only would they not add Roman emperor worship alongside their practice of Christian rituals, but they also insisted on saying there was only one God.
It was nonsensical to the Romans. Why risk your lives over something as trivial – as flexible – as religion? It simply did not make sense, in much the same way Christianity does not make sense to Australians today.
Take, for example, the account of the Scillitan Martyrs.
On 17 July 180 AD*, a group of African Christians stood in a judgment hall in Carthage before Roman proconsul, P. Vigellius Saturninus – the provincial governor. There were 12 in all, but six are listed at the trial. They were from Scilla (or Scillium), a town in Numidia in Rome's North African province.
It was a dangerous time in history for Christians. Marcus Aurelius was the Roman Emperor and, while historians debate the degree to which he ordered and took part in the persecution of Christians, there is no doubt that it took place during his reign.
In fact, some of Christian history's best-known and most brutal executions of Christians took place under Aurelius, including that of Justin Martyr himself.
The account of their martyrdom – preserved in various, similar forms on ancient manuscripts – is the earliest surviving record of the Christian church in Africa. One manuscript is also the earliest specimen of Christian Latin.
Written in brief legal form – perhaps that of an official court transcript – the document names those on trial as Speratus, Nartzalus, Cittinus, Donata, Secunda and Vestia.
One man, Speratus, takes the role of the group's spokesman.
[NB. The following is adapted from the translation of the Latin manuscript. You can read the translation here.]
"Our lord the Emperor will let you off of this charge if you will just come to your senses," Saturninus, the Proconsul, tells the group.
"We haven't done anything wrong. We haven't done wrong or spoken wrong. When we've been treated badly, we have given thanks, because we pay the Emperor all due respect," Speratus says.
"We're religious people, too, and our religion is simple, and we swear by the genius of our lord the Emperor, and pray for his welfare, as you also ought to do," Saturninus replies.
"If you will hear me out, I can tell you the mystery of simplicity," Speratus responds, apparently not one to miss a chance to share the gospel.
"Are you at all open to re-considering?" – Proconsul Saturninus
"I am not about to hear you out when you have evil things to say about our sacred rites. How about instead, you swear by the genius of our lord the Emperor," the Proconsul says – he's having none of it.
"I don't know about the empires of this world. Instead, I serve the God whom no man has seen, nor can see with human eyes. I haven't stolen anything, and when I buy things, I pay the tax that's due, because I know that my Lord is the King of kings and Emperor of all nations," Speratus tells him.
Saturninus turns to the rest of the group and says, "Stop being this way."
"You're asking us to avoid murder by giving false testimony," Speratus says.
"Don't stay caught up in this nonsense," Saturninus tells them, but the group agree with Spertus and are not about to renounce their faith to save their lives.
"We have nothing and no one to fear, except our Lord God, who is in heaven," Cittinus responds.
"Honour to Cæsar as Cæsar: but fear to God," Donata adds.
"I am a Christian," testifies Vestia.
"What I am, is what I want to be," says Secunda.
Saturninus addresses Speratus, "So you're staying a Christian, then?"
"I am a Christian" says Speratus. And they all agreed.
"Are you at all open to re-considering?" Saturninus asks.
"In a matter this straightforward, there is no considering," Speratus answers.
"What are you carrying there, against your chest?" Saturninus asks.
"Books and copies of letters written by Paul– a just man," says Speratus.
"How about you all take 30 days to really think about this?" Saturninus suggests.
"I am a Christian," Speratus says clearly for the second time. And the others all agree.
Saturninus reads out his decree.
"Speratus, Nartzalus, Cittinus, Donata, Vestia, Secunda and the rest of the group, having confessed that they live according to Christian rites, and when offered the opportunity to return to Roman customs instead, having obstinately persisted in their Christian faith, it is determined that they be put to the sword,"
"We give thanks to God," says Speratus said.
"Today we will be martyrs in heaven; thanks be to God," Nartzalus says.
"Today we will be martyrs in heaven; thanks be to God." – Nartzalus
Saturninus orders the herald to declare the judgment: Speratus, Nartzalus, Cittinus, Veturius, Felix, Aquilinus, Lætantius, Januaria, Generosa, Vestia, Donata and Secunda are to be executed on my order.
"Thanks be to God," they all say.
And so, together, they were all crowned with martyrdom; and now are with the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost, forever and ever. Amen.
It is a fascinating account on multiple levels. The disconnect between Saturninus' understanding of religious faith and that of the African Christians is striking. The Proconsul seems to wish they would all just take the issue of religion a little less seriously so he could avoid having them killed.
Yet while he may consider religious faith as something a person can change their mind about through conversation, to these African Christians, their faith is something worth dying for – and with gratitude.
* NB. There is some debate about the exact date, due to differences in manuscripts. Some put the event at a slightly later date, a few years after Marcus Aurelius's death, but when the policies of his reign were still in effect.

Canappeville est une commune française située dans le département de l'Eure, en région Normandie.

Géographie

Localisation

Climat
Le climat qui caractérise la commune est qualifié, en 2010, de « climat océanique dégradé des plaines du Centre et du Nord », selon la typologie des climats de la France qui compte alors huit grands types de climats en métropole. En 2020, la commune ressort du type « climat océanique altéré » dans la classification établie par Météo-France, qui ne compte désormais, en première approche, que cinq grands types de climats en métropole. Il s'agit d'une zone de transition entre le climat océanique, le climat de montagne et le climat semi-continental. Les écarts de température entre hiver et été augmentent avec l'éloignement de la mer. La pluviométrie est plus faible qu'en bord de mer, sauf aux abords des reliefs.

Les paramètres climatiques qui ont permis d'établir la typologie de 2010 comportent six variables pour les températures et huit pour les précipitations, dont les valeurs correspondent à la normale 1971-2000. Les sept principales variables caractérisant la commune sont présentées dans l'encadré ci-après.

Avec le changement climatique, ces variables ont évolué. Une étude réalisée en 2014 par la Direction générale de l'Énergie et du Climat complétée par des études régionales prévoit en effet que la  température moyenne devrait croître et la pluviométrie moyenne baisser, avec toutefois de fortes variations régionales. La station météorologique de Météo-France installée sur la commune et mise en service en 1960 permet de connaître l'évolution des indicateurs météorologiques. Le tableau détaillé pour la période 1981-2010 est présenté ci-après.

Occupation des sols

L'occupation des sols de la commune, telle qu'elle ressort de la base de données européenne d'occupation biophysique des sols Corine Land Cover (CLC), est marquée par l'importance des territoires agricoles (73,6 % en 2018), une proportion identique à celle de 1990 (74,2 %). La répartition détaillée en 2018 est la suivante :
terres arables (66,3 %), forêts (23,3 %), zones agricoles hétérogènes (7,3 %), zones urbanisées (3 %).

L'IGN met par ailleurs à disposition un outil en ligne permettant de comparer l'évolution dans le temps de l'occupation des sols de la commune (ou de territoires à des échelles différentes). Plusieurs époques sont accessibles sous forme de cartes ou photos aériennes : la carte de Cassini (), la carte d'état-major (1820-1866) et la période actuelle (1950 à aujourd'hui).

Histoire

L'emplacement de Canappeville, défriché de bonne heure, était déjà habité pendant l'occupation des Gaules, par les Romains ; on y a découvert en 1853 dans le parc du château des Landes deux sarcophages.

L'histoire de Canappeville se confond avec celle du lieu-dit « Les Landes ». Elle est racontée dans le Dictionnaire historique de toutes les communes du département de l'Eure.

La forteresse des Landes est signalée dans l'histoire avant que le nom de Canappeville y ait figuré. Placée dans la mouvance d'Évreux, elle devait sa fondation à un chevalier vassal des comtes de cette ville. Le premier de ses propriétaires parvenu à notre connaissance est Amaury des Landes, cité vers 1150 dans une charte de Simon, comte d'Évreux. Amaury III, comte d'Évreux, fils de Simon, participa à la croisade des rois de France et d'Angleterre ; il se trouvait à Jérusalem en 1188 avec un certain nombre de chevaliers du pays d'Évreux, au nombre desquels Gilbert des Landes. On peut attribuer à Gilbert des Landes la fondation de l'église paroissiale de Canappeville, qui a été certainement bâtie à la fin du , ce que semblent démontrer certains restes de construction romane encore visibles malgré les retouches et réparations subies par le monument. La nouvelle paroisse fut placée sous le vocable des apôtres saint Pierre et saint Paul, aujourd'hui le second autel est dédié à la sainte Vierge et le troisième à saint Éloi, évêque de Noyon, patron des cultivateurs. La forteresse est démolie peu après en conséquence du traité du Goulet (1200).

Une charte de Jourdain du Mesnil, de l'année 1243, cite le chemin qui allait du Mesnil-Jourdain à Canappeville.

Baudry Sauvale vendit, au mois d', sa part d'héritage à Incarville et Louviers, en présence de Michel de Canappeville.

En 1419, de son camp devant Vernon, Henri V, ayant appris la mort de Renaud, qui avait été jusque-là rebelle, donna Les Landes et Normanville à Jean Burgh, écuyer, un de ses officiers, qui fut bailli de Gisors en 1428.

Au mois de , Louis XI érigea la seigneurie des Landes en baronnie.

Jusqu'avant 1468, année de son exécution, Charles de Melun est seigneur des Landes.

En 1484, Jean Druget, curé de Canappeville, échangea sa cure avec Pierre Forget contre la dignité de trésorier de la Sainte-Chapelle de Vincennes.

Vers 1544, Adrien de Melun, seigneur des Landes, épousa le  Marguerite de Vieux-Pont, fille de Laurent, baron du Neubourg ; il mourut sans enfants.
