A Bold Move, The Boldest Of All
No one would ever accuse Phil Weidner of being afraid to make a bold move. The two trials of John Kenneth Peel were littered with the bold steps he'd taken. His decision, early on, to continue with Peel's disguise — this time with a woman's wig? Bold. His decision to defy the judge in his questioning of Larry Demmert, Jr.? Bold. His enthusiastic embrace of the drug dealer theory? He didn't bother to back it with proof. It was enough to mention it — everybody in the jury pool seemed to have heard about fisherman smugglers. Bold.
No Words Could Describe
So we know that Phil Weidner was full of bold assertions. But then came this exchange with Judge Carpeneti, at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, April, 1988.
Judge Carpeneti: "Does the defendant have evidence to present?"
Phil Weidner: "Based upon the state of the evidence and the burden of proof, the defendant rests his case."
Had he really said that? Did he really mean it? The shock of those words was palpable in the courtroom. Here was the most voluble defense attorney in the known universe (okay, hyperbole). And he was passing up an opportunity to grind his knife into what remained of the prosecution case. That was either bold. Or reckless.
On A Loop
But he most certainly had done it. There was no going back. This was a bold grab for the jury's mindshare in its upcoming decision. Once the shock wore off Weidner dove, practically sotto voce, into the routine. He probably had a taped snippet he could put on an endless loop. Your Honor, I move for a judgement of acquittal. Acquittal. Acquittal. Acquittal.

Puffery Sans Angels
The acquittal hearing came down to a few moments of puffery. Weidner declared that troopers had lost evidence that established John Peel's innocence. It was, he said, the tape recording of a man who claimed to have seen the skiff after the fire. A man who was certain the man in the skiff was not John Peel.
In response, Bob Blasco intoned that the lost evidence never existed. Or, in the alternative, would have had no bearing on the case. It was, at best, a non-statement statement. At least, one imagines, it didn't do more harm than good. But after all the sturm und drang about police incompetence, Blasco's rejoinder had an ominously hollow ring.
The next few days brought a fury of last minute activity. Final arguments were waiting in the wings. Not as angels, surely. This trial had exhausted its share of angels.

L Holt says:
Given that SD and her bf identified Peel and that they, too were well known for being involved in drugs as well as violence (still for SD) and given that SDs late husband died in a cabin fire I still maintain that they were involved in this as much more than "witnesses". They kept hanging around the docks before and after (as told by the harbormaster at the time) and were asked to leave numerous times but kept coming back. Does that sound like people afraid for their own safety?
I don't understand the reference to "died in a cabin fire," unless it was an arson. If it was an accident of some kind, it doesn't seem germane. But maybe I'm missing something!

You should get an e-mail from Wade Heston who asks you to meet him in Bohan. He sends you on an errand to go find a car owned by the Korean gang. Hop in the Duke next to Heston's pad and start driving after the GPS target.
As you near the target, you'll see that the car is being towed away and you need to stop the truck. Just get out of your car and jack the vehicle to pull the driver out, then "scare him off" by beating him up. When you've got the tow truck to yourself, go to the side of it to initiate a mini-game to get the car off the back of the truck.
Hop into the car when you can and you'll need to break the security to avoid getting the cops' attention. Except you want the cops attention, so maybe don't worry about it. You can also get the attention of police by ramming into one of them. Once you've got a one star wanted level, you'll be told to get two stars. Let a cop approach you and then take him out to attract the required two star wanted level. Drive the car to the police station on your radar—don't sweat the cops—and the mission will end.

How To Play Daily Fantasy Sports Like A Boss
Want to be your own boss? Well perhaps by mastering the art of daily fantasy sports you can get there. It's been done before and as more and more players are coming online, more and more people are finding that it is indeed possible to make a Full time income, PT for sure. This best fantasy sports site review page will give you all the info you need to make an informed decision on which site to play with.
Fantasy sports played over the internet, fulfill the 'fantasy' of sports fans to have a say in picking which players will play in a particular game. Taking on the role of the team manager, participants get to pick their teams and earn points based on how well their players performed in the actual game. There are two types of fantasy sports; daily style and regular. The main difference between them is the length of the contests. Generally, baseball and basketball last for a day whilst NFL football goes on for two to three days. Players are chosen based on their salary cap and performance.
See our How To Play Guides Below:
How To Play Daily Fantasy Football
How To Play Daily Fantasy Baseball
Money is greatly involved in this. The games are completed within one day and players are paid on that same day; they, therefore, don't have to wait for the completion of an entire season to get paid. Points are earned on the basis of performance, the better the players play the higher their position on the leaderboard.
You can play in a daily fantasy league by following three simple steps.
Firstly, you make an account and register yourself on one of the many websites that design these contests. These sites are also responsible for making the payments. You have to deposit an initial amount and then you can immediately start playing. Two of the best websites are FanDuel and DraftKings. After making an account, you have to choose from numerous contests that are listed and once you have selected the tournament you want to take part in you are ready to make your draft picks. The last part involves actually competing but you don't really have to compete so to speak as everything is automatic. The website updates the leader boards in real time and you get to see how your team is performing as it rises and falls in the ranking. There are many websites that host tournaments for different types of sports; football, golf, hockey, baseball, basketball, and MMA are just some of the sports you can opt for.
How To Create A High Scoring Fantasy Team
Creating your own team is very straightforward and simple. As soon as you join a contest, you will be asked to build a team. You will be given a variety of options to choose from and also their various prices. You can click on the add/draft button to make them part of your team; or to know more about a player you have to simply click on their names. Build your team completely within a given amount of money. You can also easily make changes to your team by adding or removing team members until you have made your best lineup. On completion save your lineup and submit it. Now that your team is set, you are in the game. It is permitted to make more changes until the fantasy tournament locks down. The lockdown time depends on which game and on which website you have visited. For example, on Draft kings, you can make changes until the time when the player's game has begun. On the other hand, on Fan Duel, the team's lockdown occurs at the time when the first days games commence. On the West Coast, even the pitcher plays the late game. On the East Coast the team is locked as soon as your first game of the days starts.
You are now part of the game and now in daily fantasy sports. Rest assured it is legal and if you play at the recommended sites given by us it is legit. To add on to different sports, there are a number of contests you can join. They include: large tournaments, double up games, triple/quadruple /quintuple ups, Sit-N-Go's, head to heads and beginners only. Recently joined players are strongly advised to start slow and play at the large tournaments first. If you consider head to head matches to be easier to win, you are most likely incorrect. Very strong players take part in the head to head matches by simply entering their same lineup in a number of contests. They usually and create a couple of lineups and submit their lineups against as much different competition as possible. One method of doing this is by challenging and /or accepting head to head games. My advice- begin with a single entry, and low buy-in matches to start out.
The process of creating a team is simple. A list of players and their price tag is available; teams can be drafted by adding players. Once satisfied, the lineup is submitted and the team is set. Teams can be edited until the tournament locks, which is different for every game. Fantasy games are legal and it is a guarantee that if you win, you will get paid. There's a great variety of sports and contests one can enter. It is best for beginners to start out small and play in the larger field tournaments before getting into head to head competitions.
The best place to start looking from is the list of websites for the top 10 daily fantasy sports, which directs you to links of reviews of the leading places to play. It includes promos and news articles which give you a feel of the latest trends and offers available. Not only that, it also provides strategic tips and ideas to help enhance your game and put you one step ahead of your opponents.
Best Fantasy Sports Sites Reviews
The sites got to prove themselves in order to secure a place in our list. You can play with utmost confidence at the following top fantasy sites available in the market.
Our Favorite Sites In Order of Popularity
DraftKings – review

At times these smaller sites offer you value, you may not find at the largest fantasy sites. Sometimes you can score extra money in some of their tournaments or freerolls or bonuses you can benefit from at the time you join the sites. They offer money with less competition and provide you tournaments with solid prizes.
I will be adding new reputable sites to this list after reviewing more. With time and addition made to the market, more will be added to this list. You have a name, that meets our level and deserves to be in the top 10 sites, let us know!
Why Signup With Large Fantasy Sites?
Overall, we prefer playing at the larger fantasy sites for several reasons. Firstly, they always entertain big tournaments, meaning to say the $1 to $5 buy-in tournaments with prize money reaching up to $x, xxx for top scorers. All you need to do is game real good and you get to cash in thousands. Secondly, they are guaranteed to be trustworthy and reputable. They are famous for a reason. Thirdly, they offer the easiest and the safest online experience.
My TOP Picks For the Largest Daily Fantasy Sites
#1. DraftKings with major VC funding secures the second position- had a $3 Million guaranteed tourney for football in 2015
#2. FanDuel leads all the rest in size by a solid margin.
These are the two major market leaders. These two are the current hype in the daily fantasy market with heaps of entries and a huge number of players. The everyday free fantasy sites like Yahoo!, ESPN, CBS, NFL and many others are still entertaining the season long style fantasy games and are by far larger than all of these in volume.
FanDuel, right now has the lead in terms of number of players, DraftKings scores a worthy second pace. Both sites rule a major chunk of the daily fantasy sports action. The other sports sites are relatively smaller on the basis of the volume of players, guarantees, and contests.
The exact size can't be provided as the sites themselves have not given an official number. However, an estimate can be made by looking at the size of tournaments and number of entries. The brief answer to this is that there are hundreds of different leagues every day and especially during football season to grab from. A huge number of unique players participate in contests every weekend during football season.
Combined with Large Player Pools, a vast portion of the field is made up of recreational fantasy players. Keeping in mind, that the largest sites are US based companies meaning someone you can get in touch with if you need.

The new International Facilities Project at the Calgary International Airport is the largest expansion ever undertaken at the Calgary Airport. The new facility was opened in late 2016 and houses all international and trans-border flights to and from Calgary. The building consists of five levels, 22 new aircraft gates, and new Canadian and US customs areas. The project is targeting LEED Silver certification.
The expansion also included the construction of a Plus 30 elevated pedestrian walkway, a material-handling facility, a generator building, a passenger tunnel, a utility tunnel and a multi-elevator tower. The building's mechanical and electrical systems feature geo-exchange heating and cooling with over 650 vertical wells; co-generation boilers producing heat and electricity; and dual radiant-heat and chilled-water slabs.

The Toronto Catholic District School Board meeting on Thursday evening voted on proclaiming Pride Month. According to the organization's tweet, now the Pride Flag will be flown at the Board office and all TCDSB schools for the entire month of June, starting this year. The decision is meant to show respect and support to all LGBTQ+ students and parents.
Toronto City Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam has already reacted to the news, celebrating with the words "history is made" and acknowledging the remarkable speeches of students in support of the decision to celebrate Pride Month.
The TCDSB has voted in favor of raising the flag a month after the similar Waterloo Catholic District School Board's decision, and 10 days after Halton Catholic District School Board voted against raising the flag.

God never forgets his prayers he puts within us. He needs our voice to utter his promises over the earth. Each season that passes he sends his rain to water our precious seeds. His word says we plant them into the ground weeping but there will be a time or a season that we will rejoice over the harvest of our prayers. I bet if you close your eyes you can remember specific places in time where you uttered a new prayer over your circumstances or over someone's life. They became eternal prayers.
Your mouth can become a huge instrument for the Father speaking life into the next generation. The scriptures you've been given are not for naught, they are life and will change this present darkness. His words to us and our prayers back to him are memorials. Eternal prayers that are more far reaching than we could ever imagine.
One of the girls at Mary's Song recalls a story of her mother attending in the early years here at Victory and during this time her mother died of cancer. The Mary's Song girl was separated from her mother for years so never really knew she was a Christian, much less that she attended our church. At some point in this girl's life she tried to take her life and shot herself. Instantly she found herself falling when a hand from heaven grabbed her and pulled her back. Years later she found herself at Mary's Song and when she walked into the door she felt like "she came home". I believe her mothers prayers circled her for years and became a memorial. One long eternal prayer from the breath of God. He needed her mothers mouth to utter hope over her daughter while she sat in the hard victory pews weeping over her estranged daughter. He knew the day would come that she would take the gun and take her life. I would love to think Jesus turned to her mother and said, "I got this", then grabbed her daughter back from the dead places.
So my friend keep circling and keep loosing your mouth to join in heaven's song. He never forgets nor ever sleeps.
AMEN, HALLELUJAH! PRAISE YOU KING OF KINGS, JESUS!!

Huts, farms and Cornish dreams
This photo fascinates me. It's one of the early hostels in the West Country but it looks more like a shack in the Wild West. Perhaps it's the casual way the man in the photo leans against the building or something to do with his neckerchief. He looks like he might be hiding a gun or at least be about to commit a crime.
But he is entirely innocent and the reality more prosaic. A nature writer by the name of Reddie Mallet [1] owned the hut close to the Exeter to Bude railway at Thorndon Cross near Okehampton.
Mallet was generous, "a man with a keen appreciation of the work of the Youth Hostels Association, with a full understanding of young people, [and] a great appreciation of the dangers of a modern industrial civilisation". [2]
His hut at Thorndon Cross and many other sheds and chalets littered the countryside in the 1920s and 1930s, owned by people trying to escape cities for the countryside.
Mallet gave his hut to the new youth hostels organisation in 1935. Everything about it seems crazy, ramshackle and jerry built. Other structures among the first youth hostels were similar, including a half built hut on a steep hillside and another set of huts in the woods above the Teign Valley. Best known is probably Black Sail hut in the Lake District's Ennerdale.
The new Youth Hostels Association in the south west of England found success through its huts, shacks and chalets.
A chain in the west
The Plymouth and District regional group of the Youth Hostels Association (YHA) held their first meeting in Plymouth, at the time a crowded city with few open spaces, its flourishing commerce based on shipping, fishing and a Royal Navy dockyard.
Jack Catchpool, national secretary of the new YHA founded the previous year, encouraged the first supporters and drew together friends and fellow Quakers for their first meeting on 7 May 1931 at Swarthmore House, a Quaker centre and meeting house in Plymouth.
Gara Mill, 1936
The group enjoyed quick success, despite starting later than many of YHA's regions, opening their first hostel on 6 June at Bolberry Farm, in a small thatched cottage and hut near Bolt Head, South Devon.
By September five more hostels had opened, at Gara Mill, near Slapton, South Devon; at Brimpts Farm, Dartmeet, up on Dartmoor with "glorious views over the moor" [3] and at Week near Dartington. Two hostels around Plymouth, at Laira and Cawsand, opened in 1931 but were not included in the first handbook of hostels.
A Cornish Dream
With 78 members at the end of 1931, members of the group determined that if they were to extend and develop their work "more members must be enrolled". [4]
They aimed to develop a chain of hostels "to complete the circle of hostels around Plymouth" [4] but the pair of hostels they had opened, outside Plymouth, soon closed. The group also wanted to open links with the neighbouring Bristol group's hostels in Somerset.
The following year they opened ten hostels but only two were in Cornwall. When one of the group, Charles Allen, suggested they find more properties in Cornwall the chairman, headmaster of Plymouth Grammar School, Frank Sandon, retorted that such efforts "would be a waste of time and travel…" [5]
Youth hostels, at their beginning, were associated with big distressed, industrial cities and long, wet walks on moors and hills. But visitors came to Cornwall for the seaside and sun, not hills, and big industrial cities were miles away.
Sandon thought Cornish folk would be wary "about youngsters, especially mixed parties, staying overnight together in barns and other buildings." [Ibid]
But Allen disagreed and persuaded the group to let him go scouting around Cornwall for possible hostels. He and a friend, Frank Kerswill, went out at week-ends and returned with reports that people with the required barns and buildings were interested!
It was now only necessary for the committee to give its blessings to get things going and hostels at Triggabrowne, Polruan, St Mawes, Kennack Sands (above, also known as Kuggar) and Port Quin were soon set up. All were in farms, in barns and above cowsheds. Youth hostels in Cornwall were launched.
Frank Kerswill had introduced Charles Allen to youth hostels on a cycling trip to the hostel at Street in Somerset. Allen hadn't been impressed by the chalet, Britain's first formal youth hostel – he thought camping was more fun – but he tried again on another trip to the Pool Mill hostel at Newton Ferrers which had just opened.
He enjoyed that more. The hostel was "delightfully situated … on the Membland Estate, at the head of the river Yealm" in a converted carpenter's workshop approached through the farm yard. [5]
An early photo of Street youth hostel, Somerset.
Allen remembered the hostel for its friendly atmosphere and from then on, because of the low cost, the possibility of meeting other young people and the chance of further adventures, he became an enthusiastic supporter of hostels.
He was honorary secretary for the Plymouth group and then a member of YHA's national executive. Youth hostels began to take so much of his time that his cycling club made it clear he was no longer welcome, leaving him free to devote his time to youth hostels.
After the war he became the regional group's first full time and paid secretary, a position he held until his retirement.
Allen left his memoirs and a wonderful picture of early hostels and their days in Devon and Cornwall in a spiral-bound typescript [6].
He acknowledged how important the people of the region were to establishing its hostels. He gave generous tribute to the many Quaker supporters of hostels, including Jack Catchpool, who had set up their work in the west country.
Others helped including a couple who were always ready to transport work parties or goods to hostels. A family of four young women, the Gards of Plymouth, dragooned boyfriends into helping too.
They found a hostel in Bude where the region was keen for a hostel and, with the help of other members from Plymouth, set up a hostel there that was so successful a larger building was needed. They found that in a former workhouse and two of the sisters, Loui and Alice, ran the hostel.
Enthusiasm "really got [YHA] on its feet in the West Country" Allen declared. [Ibid] One member convinced his parents to open a hostel in their boarding-house, and another induced her uncle to build a small hostel in the grounds of his house in Ottery St Mary where a hostel, in a single storey building, opened in time for the Easter weekend of 1936.
The two Gard sisters ran that hostel too. With a soft spot for boys, they confessed they would have liked to have had an all-boys hostel.
Members in the area also gifted property. Mr Mallett's hut at Thorndon Cross was one of those gifts. His hut, as a wooden building, presented many problems lit as it was with oil lamps and candles and without a resident warden, but it survived the risk of fire, having housed evacuees during the war, until it was sold in 1946.
Dr Ransom Pickard, chairman of the region, gave another wooden hut, sometimes called a chalet or bungalow, at Steps Bridge in Devon above the Teign river. He was a keen walker, a GP and eye surgeon and had been mayor of nearby Exeter. He loved walking on Dartmoor and was said to have never worn a rain coat and never owned a car.
Farms, food and flowers
As well as huts and shacks, many early hostels in the west country were in farms or farm buildings. Agriculture had been in decline in Britain for years, leaving buildings vacant that, helped by opportunistic and willing owners, could be converted with little effort into rudimentary places to stay.
The West Country had also enjoyed a long tradition of "farm" tourism and Catchpool and others encouraged the approach as a way of opening youth hostels quickly.
In 1932, nine out of ten hostels in Devon and Cornwall were in farms or farm buildings. By 1938, half of the total of 22 were in farms.
Farms provided idyllic surroundings for visitors and farmers and their families brought youth hostel members closer to rural life.
One hostel at Lelant farm, near St Ives, run by a Quaker couple, overlooked fields of polyanthus, flax and other flowers "too numerous to mention". [Ibid]
"Adjacent to the hostel was a large flower packing shed, which was always a source of interest to members, especially the males, because a number of young ladies were employed with the packing". [Ibid] They were always eager to help ready the flowers for shipping by train to London.
Guests endured rough conditions. They washed in the river at Gara near Slapton in Devon, because that was easier than carrying water up a steep hill to the hostel.
They also enjoyed the abundant food of rural life: cider tastings at Ebford, large roast dinners and cream tarts at Gidleigh, and Devon clotted cream at Pool Farm.
We know most about one of the farm hostels, at Kennack Sands, from memoirs written by the owners' son, Courtney Rowe, and found at Coverack youth hostel in October 2013. The hostel began in a barn, partitioned into two dormitories with a nearby hut for a common room.
"There was no electricity and no mains water or sewage … Lighting, cooking and heating was by oil-lamps and oil- stoves; washing was in a bowl … with water carried from the nearby well. Toilet facilities were a bucket under a seat in a small corrugated-iron privy." [7]
In 1937 the Rowes expanded their hostel into a permanent and purpose built house with flush toilets, though all water still had to be pumped by hand as there was no electricity on the farm.
Hostellers ate in the thatched farmhouse where the standard of food was generous, including breakfasts of eggs, bacon or sausages, with plenty of home-made jam, marmalade and toast.
The hostel continued until 1952 when the Rowes needed the hostel building as a house for a helper on the farm.
Success and the geography of the west country's long peninsular brought problems. In its long distances, finding and overseeing hostels from Plymouth proved difficult. Keeping in touch with wardens, particularly at the more distant hostels, created constant difficulties for committees, partly solved when the region set up a regional sub-committee in Exeter in 1932. Another followed for Plymouth and the region renamed itself the Devon and Cornwall Region in 1934.
The sub-committees appeared to provide less of the social activities of sub-regional groups in other regions and instead had a clear operational role, finding, running and overseeing the hostels in their area.
The annual report of 1938 recorded 733 members for the region, almost ten times the number of members in the first year but the group remained one of the smallest in YHA.
The London region, YHA's largest, had more than 28,000 members and only the regional groups in Wiltshire and East Anglia were smaller than the Devon and Cornwall group.
Gidleigh youth hostel
But, in contrast, only the Lakeland and London regional groups had more hostels than Devon and Cornwall, an astonishing achievement with so few members, proving the success of Charles Allen's idea for hostels in Cornwall.
In 1932 only two hostels out of ten were in Cornwall but by 1938, almost half of the group's hostels, nine out of 22, were in that county.
The group was fairly unusual amongst the early regions as it only had its first 'fully controlled' hostels, ones that it owned or ran with its own staff, as late as 1938; Exeter (1938), Salcombe (1938) and Land's End (1939).
The group still had its eyes on completing a chain for the west country. Its most immediate problem was thought to be "the provision of new hostels to fill gaps which remain in our chains" with hostels anticipated at Lands End, Bedruthan Steps, Brigham and Kingsteignton, [1] with further possibilities at Lyme Regis and Boscastle.
The group's success was built on ramshackle, jerry built foundations, on the enthusiasm of Charles Allen and the many who assisted him. The association would turn its back on some of those foundations as it sought more secure properties, higher standards and a better funded future.
But for that time in the 1930s, in Devon and Cornwall, the ramshackle and jerry built had become an outstanding and popular success, ready for the boom in holiday making that would follow the second world war.

China and the World Financial Markets 1870-1930: Modern Lessons from Historical Globalization (Chinese Version)

In this paper we review evidence about the development of the Chinese capital markets over a crucial period in world market history, and place that development in the context of world financial markets at the time. Despite fundamental differences between China today and China 100 years ago, it is still important to consider the dangers of an imbalance between domestic and international investor markets, and the mismatch between domestic and foreign expectations about investor protection. The lessons of the last century suggest that China today should consider opening Chinese investor access to foreign capital markets in order to equilibrate the level of diversification between foreign and domestic investors. In addition, protection of domestic corporate investor rights is at least as important as protecting foreign investor rights.

A Frenchman of true Gallic temperament and tenor. He will never be forgotten for his service to la Republique Francaise.
In essence de Gaulle was a soldier turned politician. He was brought up a conservative Catholic in North Eastern France and remained of that religion all his long life, dying aged nearly 80 years. He was very nearly killed in action at Verdun, World War I and was made a POW. Many of his fellow officers were killed in combat in that War and he was grievously wounded twice over. He had passed through St Cyr, the French staff college for officers, 13th out of 210 cadets. He was of the highest calibre and the old school: an officer who never flinched all his long life. He was always known as General de Gaulle, even after he left the Army and became President of the French Fifth Republic 1959-1969. He came under small arms fire as he liberated Paris on 26 August 1944 from Vichy Regime Supporters and Fifth Columnists. He had not the slightest concern for his own personal safety and was truly inspiring by that example to those around him. Again in August 1962 he and his wife narrowly escaped death, when disaffected French white settlers from Algeria machine gunned their vehicle in France. General Gaulle was over 70 years old then. He went on to serve another seven years as President of France through the severe student unrest of 1968, in Paris.
2. What was his contribution to modern France?
Not so much in the military field, but as the leader who navigated France through the terrible French resistance - inspired post war reprisals, the trials of collaborators and certain commutations of their death sentences (1554 Capital sentences passed post war of which only 800 were carried out). De Gaulle adopted the same policy his mentor, General Petain did in 1917, when the French Army mutinied: "be firm and stern with one hand and gentle with the other". It worked for General Philippe Petain dealing with the mutiny, as it did for France and de Gaulle in 1945-46. General de Gaulle bequeathed a legacy of France capable of being ruled by the 4th Republic, 1946-1959, yet France called upon him again as the safe pair of hands from 1959- 1969 when his Presidential period of office secured democracy and freedom for his country. Without doubt he was popular with the ordinary and moderate French, who invariably backed him, their General.
3. What were his faults?
A certain tactlessness and bumptiousness that belied his deeply held beliefs. It was his driving Conservative Catholicism that made him refuse Roosevelt's lead in the 1939-45 war and go out on his own against Vichy France, before it was fashionable to do so. He could be very stubborn in defence of France. When he said friends were not important to La France he meant it. To him France was his patrie not his religion. Without France and the French his religion would have no meaning. Like certain devout European Catholics of that time he was not too overt nor did he boast about his Catholicism. Moreover he was no Priest or theologian. Yet he entered the Catholic Notre Dame Cathedral on the very day he liberated Paris on 26 August 1944 and came under fire from the last enemy pockets of opposition. He also visited the Vatican very shortly before liberating Paris. His Frenchness was his Achilles heel as he continued to beat the drum too loudly and incessantly e.g. "Vive le Quebec Libre" and Non to British EEC membership when Macmillan sought entry. He was not frightened of upsetting people – a sign of deep religious conviction. His Catholic religion came out in his deep sense of service to his country. He was a true French patriot but no monarchist. A republican par excellence.
Probably far better than we are lead to believe. His bad reputation for lack of diplomacy was based on comment by those who could not see behind the curtain. The fact is he earned the respect of Adenauer (German Chancellor), Franklin D. Roosevelt (U.S President), Dwight Eisenhower (U.S. General and U.S. President), Harold Macmillan (British Prime Minister), Churchill (British War leader) and U.S President Lynden B. Johnson, to name several. He was able to achieve this respect the hard way, by tough talking from the heart. Above all he did not lack sincerity and that quality wins more friends than any other (despite de Gaulle's self-effacing protestation France had interests not friends).
A Frenchman of austerity, true backbone and moral fibre. A great example to the 20th Century and later generations, of the original 19th Century Catholicism of France. He was a statesman above all else and was not afraid to speak up for France when all around him were doubting him. He stands head and shoulders above all other European leaders of his time as the architect of post war Western Europe, not only in the EEC but as a powerful opponent in his way of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact in the Cold War. He is seen by his detractors as pompous and conceited: the General Charles de Gaulle of France. They could not be more wrong – he always placed himself at the service of his nation, as he did repeatedly on Le Champs d'Honneur in both World Wars. You do not find men like de Gaulle twice. It is not once in a lifetime but once in a blue moon and this time it will be the red white and blue of Le Tricoleur of La France.

Q: Char and if stament in C I have a problem to compare the char and "some text" inside if clause.
There is the code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>
int main()
{
    char *start[99];
    printf("Welcome to MyOS 1");
    printf("\n" "#: ");
    scanf("%[98]", &start);
    if (&start == "help")
    {
        printf("All commands:" "File" "Calculator");
    }
}

A: start is an array of pointers to char and you probably want an array of char. So change
char *start[99];

to
char start[99];

and change scanf("%[98]", &start); to scanf("%[98]", start);
And to compare c-strings, use strcmp(). So change
 if (&start == "help")

to
 if ( strcmp(start, "help") == 0 )

If you want to read a line, use fgets() instead of scanf().
Enabling compiler warnings would help too. For your code, GCC issues:

warning: format '%[98' expects argument of type 'char *', but argument
  2 has type 'char * (*)[99]' [-Wformat=]
warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast
warning: comparison with string literal results in unspecified
  behavior [-Waddress]

A: There are several issues with your code. You probably want an array of char, char start[99]. You should use strcmp or strncmp to compare strings. Just making your code work could be done like this:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <ctype.h>

int main()
{
    char start[99];
    printf("Welcome to MyOS 1");
    printf("\n" "#: ");
    fgets(start, sizeof(start), stdin);
    if (isalpha((unsigned char) *start) != 0)
    {
        if (strncmp(start, "help", 4) == 0)
            printf("All commands: File Calculator\n");
        else
            printf("No such command.\n");
    }
    else
        fprintf(stderr, "Error\n");
}

We help people: Reduce Pain, Regain Mobility & Build Strength so that they can get on with their work and hobbies without the reservation about their dodgy back, clicky shoulder or wonky knee coming back to bite.
The most important thing for everybody coming through our doors over the last 11 years in business is PAIN RELIEF. Naturally pain relief is great and nobody deserves to be living in pain. However this is only the first part of the journey. What do you mean by that?
The thousands of people that we have treated have all thought that pain relief is the end of physiotherapy and then their problem will be solved for ever and ever ….. This is not exactly the way it is!!
You see, our treatment approach is one that will identify exactly the reasons why you are experiencing persistent pain or limited movements that just does not go away or get better. Like many people who just treat the pain and then stop physiotherapy treatments – their problem is very likely to come back because they didn't address or commit to correcting the underlying weakness, imbalance, lack of control or whatever it is. Essentially they are dousing the fire but not rebuilding the scaffold!
Different injuries and complaints take different amounts of time to get better depending on several things such as the nature of the injury, the degree of tissue damage, the type of tissue damage (nerve, muscle, joint, ligament, bone, surgery and general health & fitness levels. In fact it is totally normal to see different people with exactly the same injury take different amounts of time to get right and by that we could use the following example of a person with a pulled muscle in their back.
Pulled a muscle lifting a bag of coal 3 days ago and came into the clinic. They are in a lot of back and feel limited in their movements but are confident that their back will get better and are happy to engage in gentle exercise and walking and some light exercise in the pool as advised by their physiotherapist.
Pulled a muscle lifting a bag of coal 3 weeks ago and then decided to come into the clinic. They are very anxious and worried about their back. Immediately after the injury happened they looked up Google and read that they could have a disc injury and that this might need surgery. Person B is very locked up and cannot (will not) move their backs?
Fear of moving is a very common thing and that combined with their bit of DIY diagnosis using an internet search which did not make for nice reading, ramped up that fear factor a few more times leaving them very afraid to move incase they did anything to injure their apparent 'disc' problem!!So the point being – seek early advice so the scenario B situation does not happen to you. You will not look back, you will not regret it.Our physiotherapists will give you the confidence that will see you gradually get better, while your injured tissues heal while you build up strength and confidence so that this problem will not return .

Walywn sees opportunity with Economic Substance Requirement
-takes aim at Internet Providers' shoddy service @ NDP rally

ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI - Chairman of the National Democratic Party (NDP) Honourable Myron V. Walwyn (AL), believes there are positive spin offs for the growth of the Territory of the Virgin Islands (VI) in the long term, to be had from the European Union (EU) mandated, 'Economic Substance Requirement.'
He gave his views while addressing a NDP January 18, 2019, rally held at the Sunny Caribee Parking lot, where it was the night for the four At-Large Candidates to address the Territory.
According to Hon Walwyn, "…this new EU measure can have some negative effects in the short term but if handled well, can provide a more resilient financial services sector in the Territory in the long term."
He said it's no secret, the Territory is experiencing some challenges with the Financial Services sector—brought on by a ever changing goal post in the international community.
The NDP Leader reminded supporters, "It is now a requirement for the BVI to have what is called economic substance in the territory this simply means that companies incorporated in the Virgin islands must have a physical presence in the territory."
According to Walwyn, it important for the Territory to capitalize on this new challenge, "but more importantly, it present greater opportunity for the people of these Virgin Islands (VI)….It gives us the perfect occasion to implement the recommendations for the Mackenzie Report of 2014, as it relates to adding value to our offerings."
Difficult Road
He had prefaced his arguments insisting that that Virgin Islanders need to lead the main industries in the territory.
"It time for us to just do it," Hon Walwyn said as he implored the people of the Territory, be ready to chart their own destiny leading the main industries domestically.
According to Hon Walwyn, "…the road will be difficult, the journey uncertain at times but the time has come for us to do the work and simply get things done."
He said that while the disasters of 2017 placed the people of the Territory in a very difficult position but they have also presented a distinct opportunity.
"An opportunity for us to collectively come together to develop a VI of our own making, a VI with Economic resources to build a modern Territory and a VI with a Human Resources and intellectual capital to take us into the future and master the unknown."
The NDP, he said, caters for all the people of the Territory, "…we see a Territory that provides for all of its people, one that is on the cutting edge of technology, one that gives our people a chance to develop new industries, share our culture with the rest of the world and one where each person has a fair opportunity and access to the services they need to live a good and wholesome life."
The NDP Leader used the opportunity to take a swipe at shoddy internet service providers in the Territory calling the travesty a 'national security issue.'
"I see high speed, reliable internet access as a national security issue for the new VI, as it is inextricably linked to the economic success of a modern day VI and it should not be left up to three private carriers to determine our rise or fall."
As such Hon Walwyn was adamant, "this new NDP government will take the lead on this because it's too important an issue for us not to."
Stifle Goals
He said, "if we continue to leave something as important as the internet solely in the hands of private providers, to give our country affordable and easy access to the worldwide web, we stifle our very own long term goals for the Financial Services industry and any hope of benefiting from the economic substance requirement opportunities,"
With the large gathering strongly on his side, he added, "we cannot be afraid to engage in this new space, but we must do so with the people of the VI playing a major role in this industry, and significantly, with a government that believes so much in its people, that we are willing to invest in the infrastructure required for high speed internet."

He said, "if we continue to leave something as important as the internet solely in the hands of private providers, to give our country affordable and easy access to the worldwide web, we stifle our very own long term goals for the Financial Services industry and any hope of benefiting from the economic substance requirement opportunitie." True, internet services is poor but delivering fast, high quality internet services is not an inherently governmental function; the services can be provided satisfactorily as done elsewhere by the private sector. The government should not be competing with the private sector. What the government needs to do is establish policies, set standards, provide no nonsense oversight, rake poor performers over the coals, show poor performers the door......etc. Agree, the BVI must look for the silver lining in the dark Beneficial Registers and Economic Substance clouds. One of the core elements for turning the BVI creative, innovative, high tech society is education and training. We don't need to reinvent the wheel; we just need to look at other successful locales and benchmark them, ie, Singapore comes to mind.

The Economic Substance law will destroy the revenue stream for the BVI Govt. Essentially it has been money for nothing for 25 years - and it has been frittered away on first class travel, 5 star hotels, pointless conferences, expensive vehicles, excessive rents for buildings that we don't need, corruption and most of all incompetence.
Only a very few of the companies incorporated here have any intention of establish any economic substance in the BVI - and those that want to are struggling because the BVI does not have sufficient office space nor sufficient qualified staff. Economic substance requires qualified competent staff, not people who merely print out, file and scan documents.
We need alternative sources of income for the Govt - fishing and farming are simply not going to cut it - we are going to have to free up land ownership and start letting foreign investment into land.

This dude needs to just shut the f***up! His mind set on being a Dictator and ruling this Territory ain't going to work. What he needs to do is man up and give the people accountability. Sometimes one's Actions are more enbedded with their true Character. We want a Government for the People! Not People for Government!
