Chapter 106: Have a Taste of Me!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Inside Green Vine Police Department, interrogation room number 3.
"Hello? Anybody there? You guys put me here, and don't even talk to me? What's the matter with you guys? This is a waste of taxpayer's money! I demand to see your chief!" Chen shouted. He had been here for more than two hours, but no one has even come in to take his statement yet. What was more vexing is that even Liu Quanfu did not come to see him.
Aside from wasting his time, Chen had yet to properly recover from the fight and needed to get to his hundred herbs potion in his phone for treatment. The longer he left his injuries alone, the more likely it would result in some long-term or permanent effects. The potion may be magical, but it was not omnipotent. An example would be that if his hand was cut off, the potion could stop the bleeding and healed the wound, but it could not help him to regrow his arm. That being said, if Chen suffered any permanent damage now, no matter how many bottles of hundred grass potions he drank, the damage was irreversible.
*Creak…*
While he was caught up in his thoughts about his injuries, the door opened, and a pair of sexy long legs strutted into the room. Gorgeously fair and smooth, perfectly flawless legs that looked like fine jade. Chen's eyes were reactively attracted to them. And as the saying that goes, 'to know if the girl is hot, check out her legs." Chen was very sure that these stunning pair of legs belong to a babe.
However, as soon as he exactly who their owner was, his eyes rolled so far back that he could see his brain. It was the very last person he wished to see now: Six Doors Inspector, Luo Puti! The moment she walked into the room, it became clear to Chen why was he kept locked in there for so long, and why Liu Quanfu who was so loyal to him, didn't come meet him at all. She had everything to do with that! Agents from the Six Doors were like the Imperial Envoys of ancient times, and even the station chief had to listen to their orders because they were of higher rank and power.
"Mr. Chen! How unexpected! So this is how we meet again!" Luo said sarcastically as she slammed the door behind her.
"Really? You don't seem all that pleased to see me tho" Chen pouted. "Inspector, I need to pee. Can you please uncuff me and let me use the bathroom?"
"Hmph! Uncuff you, my ass! You better stop joking around with me!" Luo said coldly. She was still the cold and emotionless iceberg as she always was. "I couldn't find anything to put you away the last time. But let's see how are you getting out of this!"
"Huh? What are you talking about, what do you want?" Chen was slightly flustered. That beautiful lady in front of him may be pleasant to look at, but there was something about her that made Chen felt a sliver of fear slowly growing in his gut. And unfortunately for him, his hands and feet were cuffed to the chair, denying him any means of escape and fighting back, making that fear of his sank deeper into his consciousness. Luo Puti was very adept and interrogation tactics.
"Answer me this!" Luo said as she stood across the table face to face with Chen. "The Dafeng burglary, the Wen clan massacre, and the recent case of Dafeng's disappearance… You have something to do with all that. Don't you?" Luo asked while bending over the table to look Chen in the eye. Her face came so near, that her pair of sharp, crystal clear eyes were penetrating his.
"Excuse me, miss inspector? But I think you got the wrong file or something. I'm here because of a bar brawl. And I have absolutely no idea what are you talking about!" Chen firmly replied.
"Of course you are. But I have no time to waste on a bar fight between a few thugs!" Luo responded as her face inched closer to his. "We have evidence that puts you near or at all these crime scenes when they happened. And I don't think that's a coincidence!"
Chen gulped. But not out of fear, but because of the distance between them. She was now bent towards him so low and so close, that just by looking down a little, he could already take a glimpse of the deep bottomless gorge that ran between her glorious pair of majestic twin peaks. Its darkness so deep and mysterious that it felt more like a black hole, drawing his gaze in.
"Hmm?" Luo who has been paying close attention to Chen's eyes to discern if he was lying, suddenly realized that his attention was somewhere else. Somewhere on her chest… "You creep! Where do you think you're staring at? If you're tired of living, just let me know!" Luo hastily stood back up and hugged her chest tightly.
"How is that my fault? I am the one bound to the chair and you were the one bent over! Can you please be reasonable for a moment and stop pushing all the blame on me?" Chen responded.
"What did you say? So it's my fault now?" Luo was flushed with embarrassment and anger. "Looks like if I'm not a little bit forceful with scumbags like you, you asshole won't realize just what kind of situation you're in!"
"Wait! Stop! Or I'll report you! This is police brutality!" Chen was much anxious that before. He was still injured and did not wish to make his injuries any worse than it already is.
"Sure! Go ahead! Let's see who listens!" Luo simply brushed his warning aside. As an inspector from the country's special policing force, she has some special privileges.
"Wait, that's right! I still have one monkey fur with me!" Just as he was about to get into big trouble, Chen remembered the Monkey Fur of Prosperity in his chest pocket. He had prepared it for the fight with Dabiao in advance. But since he did not need it in the fight, he could use it here and save himself right now! But… How? What should he turn it into? What could he possibly use it for in a situation like this? He was in a police interrogation room with many eyes observing him. If he used it to do something that defied logic, he might just end up being taken to some lab somewhere, to be dissected and studied like an alien!
"Wait, I got it!" Chen suddenly got an idea. He muttered softly under his breath, "Turn into a sleepy bug. And get inside her!"
*PUFF!*
He blew his breath into his chest pocket.
"Hmm?" Luo suddenly felt an itch in her ear, and in just mere moments after that, an intense urge to sleep overcame her. Her body slowly relaxed as her eyelids felt heavier and heavier.
"What's wrong with me?" Luo tried hard to resist the drowsiness. She staggered a little before finally slumping into her chair. As soon as she sat down in it, her body gently collapsed onto the table as she fell fast asleep.
DING!
[Ten minutes until the Monkey Fur of Prosperity wears off.]
"What? The time limit on this thing is just too damn short!" Chen did not waste any time and shouted, "Guard! Guard! I need to speak with the chief!"
"Master! Not so loud!" Liu Quanfu opened the door and came in the room. "I was just right outside! Keeping a lookout just in case she did anything to you."
"Uncuff me, quick! And get me my phone!" Chen ordered him without hesitation.
"Yes!" Liu Quanfu immediately carried out his master's orders. As soon as he got his phone, Chen retrieved a bottle of Hundred Herbs Potion and drank it. An instant feeling of relief washed over his body as the potion healed his internal injuries.
"Master, What did you do to her? She's not someone who can just suddenly get knocked out like that!" Quanfu was puzzled.
"She's just asleep. But the effect will wear off very soon." Chen answered.
"Then, how do you plan to take care of her? By using the dog biscuit?" Quanfu asked again.
"Nope. I only have one left, I can't just simply use it here." Chen shook his head. "And besides, as much as I hate this woman for being a pain in my ass, she was just fulfilling her duty and obligation as a police officer, and her intentions are just. If I did feed her the biscuit and enslave her mind, it would kill off her personality, and that would be a waste of talent."
"Then, I better put the cuffs back on you and leave before she wakes up, or we will both not be able to explain our way out of this one!" Quanfu said while shaking his head.
"Just hold on a sec…" Chen squinted his eyes and smirked. "Even if I don't want to control her, I am still not letting her off for being a pain in my ass that easily!" With that said, Chen made his way to the other side of the table and hoisted Luo's body onto it.
"Master… Are you gonna do that… To her? And in here?" Quanfu gulped.
Chen looked at her seductively curved behind that was protected only by a tight-fitting office skirt, and his lips curled upwards. "I am going to let her… Have a taste of me!"


Louis XIV: King of France (roi de France) 1643-1715; born 5 September 1638, the son of King Louis XIII of France (1601-1643) and Anne of Austria (1601-1666). He succeeded his father when he was not yet five years old, and reigned for 72 years. Louis married his double first cousin, Maria Theresa of Spain (1638-1683). Louis died 1 September 1715 and was succeeded by his great-grandson, Louis XV (1710-1774).
Louis intended to make France an absolute monarchy. Although he was strictly Catholic, he did not permit the pope to interfere in any political affairs. Very energetically he defended Catholic customs and usage, which were called freedoms of the Gallic church. He was also a zealous promoter of religious unity in France. There were in the kingdom many Protestants, to whom Henry IV had guaranteed freedom of conscience and certain political rights in the Edict of Nantes (1598). Richelieu, the minister of Louis XIII, had withdrawn these political rights. Now Louis XIV proceeded to restrict their freedom of conscience. What was not expressly promised in the Edict was prohibited. All means were used to convert the Protestants. The most terrible of these was the compulsory quartering of troops, who were guilty of all sorts of violence, upon the unfortunate ones, until they declared themselves ready to recant. The large numbers of conversions were announced and celebrated with great rejoicing. Finally the Jesuits persuaded the king that there were practically no Protestants left in France and that the Edict was therefore meaningless. It was repealed in 1685. The remaining Protestants were forbidden to leave the country on threat of being sentenced to the galleys. Nevertheless hundreds and thousands of them fled over the borders and brought their fund of knowledge, particularly in industry, to their new home.
Although Alsace had been French since 1648, it was not affected by the Edict of Nantes, since the Peace of Westphalia had assured it freedom of conscience. But there were many Mennonites in Alsace. Against them the king was particularly prejudiced. In France the name Anabaptists had the effect of a bogey; it suggested only the Peasant Revolt and the revolt of Münster. But the Alsatian Mennonites were quiet, and the government of the newly acquired province was so complicated that they escaped notice for many years. The attention of the king was directed to the Mennonites when he came into conflict with the Dutch States-General. But here he heard only favorable reports about them. Some time previously General Turenne had met with the Dutch Ambassador M. van Beuningen. Turenne censured the States-General for tolerating so many sects, especially the Anabaptists. The statesman replied: "Why should we not tolerate the Anabaptists? They are such good people and so easy to get along with. They do not seek honor and regard, so they are in nobody's way. We do not fear revolt from a sect which has as one of the articles of its faith a prohibition against carrying arms. The Mennonites pay their share of all public taxes, and that suffices us. With their taxes we pay mercenaries who are more useful to us in the army than they could be. They build us up by the purity of their morals. They carry on agriculture, industry, and trade without wasting what they earn in luxury or gluttony. People of other creeds frequently do not act thus but by their excesses are a public offense and a great injury to the state. To be sure they refuse to render an oath, but that is of no significance, for their promise to speak the truth binds them like an oath" (Michiels, 104 f).
In 1672, when the French army marched into Holland, Louis XIV sent Raymond Formantyn to get information about the Mennonites and make a report. The learned man went to Emmerich to the book dealer van Beughem. Since they did not understand each other's language they conversed in Latin. Van Beughem summoned the Mennonite preacher Heinrich van Voorst and served as interpreter for him. Formantyn was amazed at the Biblical knowledge of the Mennonite. He looked up in a French Bible the references cited and underlined them. After a two days' discussion they departed on friendly terms and Formantyn promised to give a favorable report. But the effect of this report was not evident, for Louis XIV had to withdraw from the country. The French troops retreated to Alsace via the Palatinate, doing a great deal of damage (1674). The unfortunate Palatinate, to which many Mennonites from Switzerland had fled, was devastated again in 1689.
But the hour of persecution was also to strike for the Alsatian Mennonites. There were many of them in the gravure Rappoltstein and especially around Ste.-Marie-aux-Mines, where they had achieved a certain economic position through their industry, rousing the envy of their neighbors, especially since they were exempt from military service. Complaints reached Versailles. In the name of the king, de la Houssaye issued a circular on 9 September 1712 requiring that all Anabaptists be expelled from the kingdom. They turned to the gravure of Montbéliard, which at that time belonged to Württemberg, to the duchy of Lorraine, to Zweibrücken, and to the Breisgau in Baden.
The count of Rappoltstein at that time was Christian II von Birkenfeld, a captain in the French army, a favorite of the king. Although it meant a great loss to his country, he had to carry out the king's command exactly, whereas other lords in Alsace were more lenient. It seems that the numerous Mennonites living in Upper Alsace and especially in the Sundgau (south of Altkirch) were not molested. Also in Rappoltstein they were again tolerated on a petition by the count, at least a certain number of families.
Louis XIV died in 1715. Under his successors the Mennonites again enjoyed relative peace on the condition that they would draw no public attention to themselves. In 1766, when Lorraine became French, inquiries were made about them; but since the reports were favorable they were tolerated until finally the French Revolution brought religious freedom to all.

20$ Coin Trump – The Truth Exposed
If you are a fan of President Donald Trump and want to reveal your support, you may consider purchasing a Trump coin. Despite the fact that the president has not yet minted a new coin, the US Mint is currently releasing $1 gold coins to celebrate the president.
It's possible that you're not aware of this fact, so let's have a look at a few of the truths about Trump's presidential dollar coins.
The previous first lady of the United States, Melania Trump, has actually revealed the launch of a brand-new non-fungible token (NFT) endeavor. This NFT platform will include a series of digital antiques. It will also feature physical artwork and a distinctive device.
According to a statement released by her office, the collection is created to highlight "iconic minutes" from the administration of President Donald Trump. In addition to the collection of NFTs, the former first lady said the proceeds will be used to help children aging out of foster care. She will donate an undefined total up to the initiative.
The collection will be sold for a cost of $50 per token. Each NFT will feature a picture of the previous first lady's blue eyes. An audio recording of her voice will accompany the images. They will be readily available for purchase between Dec. 16 and Dec. 31.
In December, the former first lady revealed that she would be selling NFTs on her new platform. While the sale went smoothly, the task has faced criticism. Some have called it a rip-off while others questioned her intentions.
Melania Trump began her modeling profession at age sixteen. She has appeared in numerous high-profile advertising campaign. Her newest NFT endeavor is her first openly announced undertaking because leaving the White House.
She has mentioned that she was "inspired" by the American spirit. She believes that the NFT is a method to return to children aging out of foster care. Nevertheless, her press contact has actually not reacted to questions about donations.
In addition to launching NFTs on her website, the former first lady is likewise creating a series of advertising campaign. She cites the Be Best effort as the factor for producing her NFTs. As part of the project, she will be contributing a part of the profits to the National Foster Care Association.
Aside from her brand-new NFT endeavor, the previous first lady has launched a line of handmade Christmas ornaments.
The LGBcoin has actually remained in the news for a while now, however among its most notable champs is its magnate developer, Madison Cawthorn.
For all of his defects, Cawthorn has proven to be a gentleman of the greatest order. He's been an excellent sport in the media and has reportedly even rolled the dice on the task in the past.
One of his more notable accomplishments is the reality that he's been named to your home of Representatives as one of the most qualified guys in the land. That implies, as the old saying goes, there's no telling what he'll be doing in the next 4 years.
If he's fortunate, Cawthorn could be relegated to the minors for the remainder of the decade. Not a bad deal for a man with a studful of prizes to his name. Besides, a little hyphy is never ever a bad thing.
When it comes to the rest people, we're a little concerned with the possibility of a lil ditty like Cawthorn in our middle. Luckily for us, he's not the only dubious congressional alumno on the loose.
The United States Mint started issuing Presidential $1 coins in 2007. This series honors previous United States presidents. They are golden colored and feature a picture of the former president on the obverse and an image of the Statue of Liberty on the reverse. A slogan, "IN GOD WE TRUST", is inscribed on the edge of these coins.
These coins are indicated to be used in vending makers, parking meters, and other areas where they can be bought. The Federal Reserve Banks disperse the coins to their members, banks, and credit unions.
A group of officials met the United States Mint to talk about production, product packaging, circulation, and other issues. Based on this feedback, the Federal Reserve established techniques for future issuance and management of the coins. In the past, commemorative circulating coin programs have experienced challenges. To prevent comparable problems, the Federal Reserve has conducted marketing research and has actually met the Mint to establish a program.
The Federal Reserve has actually integrated feedback from other commemorative flowing coin programs into its method for the Presidential $1 Coin Program. It has likewise implemented changes to its circulation practices, which include automated messages for depository organizations. Eventually, the Federal Reserve will identify the level of demand for the coins before determining how to manage them.
The very first coin to be provided under the Presidential $1 Coin Act was the George Washington coin. It was launched two weeks before the John Adams coin was provided.
This was the first in a series of four one dollar coins to be provided each year. The designs on these coins have actually changed gradually. A few of the previous coins have actually included the motto, "IN GOD WE TRUST," on the obverse. Since 2009, the motto has been relocated to the obverse of all presidential dollar coins.
The Presidential $1 Coin Program has actually released a variety of advertising products. It has actually performed outreach to regional services, schools, and customer groups. There are free academic materials readily available for anyone interested in the coins.
However, it will depend on the Mint to work with these organizations and schools to ensure that these new coins receive the public attention and media coverage that they are worthy of.

The second meeting of the EUISS Task Force on Russia's Futures took place on the 22nd of October 2015 in Brussels. The meeting gathered think tankers and experts from Russia and Europe, as well as EU and NATO officials. The group examined the foundations of Russia's power, its military and security policy, and the future of its economy and energy policies. The discussions identified changes, challenges and potential developments in internal factors (i.e. state policy) and external ones (i.e. sanctions) which will have an impact on Russia's economy. They also explored the potential sources of economic growth, public opinion on the recent economic downturn, and EU-Russia energy cooperation. Other topics debated included Russia's military modernisation and security strategy, nuclear deterrence, and methods of warfare in the context of Russia-NATO relations.


It's sad but true… marketers (& brands) usually completely overlook the most important people that drive the business – customers. As in, existing customers. Those that have already shown trust, affinity and preference over other products towards yours (or your clients'). Individuals who have already been through whatever complex mind-blowing funnel you managed to concoct.

99% of the banned notes returned proving demonetization has grossly failed. GST is supposed to be 'One Nation One Tax', then why are there many Tax Slabs? This compels us to think this Government fooling illiterate Indians in the name of big bang reforms?
The two trump cards of Narendra Modi, demonetarization and GST, have ended up in increased hardship for the common men. Firstly, can demonetization cure the ills of black money in India? Even if 99% of the banned notes have come back to the banks, as claimed by RBI, what about the breeding new wave of black money? The situation that allowed the accumulation of so much black money still exists intact today. The existence of defunct law and order, the bribery to the government officials, the corrupt politicians foresaw no change at all. Therefore, in effect the black money has started accumulating again and will continue to do so. In this context, Sitaram Yechury, the general secretary of CPI (M) questioned the need for such a move when it is doomed to fail in its objective, "99.9% of the notes back in the banking system. 100s died in queues. The poor suffered the most. All this for what?" he said.
The questions should also be raised regarding the poor preparation and ill planned measures during demonetization that brought down the entire nation to juddering halt. The common people have the right to ask why more cash was not printed in advance and why notes were not stashed in the ATM machines sufficiently in the aftermath of the demonetization. It created huge confusion and mayhem as notes were to be collected from a far slower process of bank counters.
The next exercise of PM Modi is the implementation of Goods and Service Tax (GST). The middle class Indians are horribly affected by this move. The prices of virtually every commodity and services have increased despite the assurance by the government towards the opposite. The commodities where the prices were supposed to come down, has not happened whereas the prices supposed rise have risen. This means lower taxation have benefited the producing company or services providers which were not passed down to the end users. It is quite surprising that the government did not take any steps to lower the prices for the consumers. This represents a grossly ineffective and a potentially harmful implementation.
This crassly shows the apathy of our government towards the problems of the middle class and the poor. Narendra Modi has habit of taking sensational measures and awing the common people. However, the effect of those steps and their poor implementation leave the common men gasping for breath. It is time to wake and see things at right perspectives so that these hoaxes are not successful.

Gotta hand it to Newt. He handled that with a lot more civility than I would have. When that bitch said we need to leave Satan (George Soros) out of the conversation, I would have climbed all over that dumb liberal bitch and pummeled her.

I can't view that being from Twitter, but it's that fox news interview is my guess, and she was getting it from above her head.
I'm sure shes was for shutting him down though.
Newt should have asked her why she wants it shut down, and why Fox wants it shut down.
My guess it would have been for legal reasons she would have said if she didn't go off air with him not coming back .
Of course I talk to myself. Sometimes I need expert advise, and a good conversation.

Candace Owens Challenges Fact-Checker, And Wins
https://www.dailywire.com/news/candace- ... =position2
"I wanted to show that these fact-checkers just lie, and they usually go unchecked because most people don't have the money, don't have the time, and don't have the platform to go after them — and I have all three."
By Amanda Prestigiacomo

Conservative author and commentator Candace Owens challenged left-leaning fact-checking site PolitiFact, a partner with Facebook, over a "false" rating — and won.
Not only did PolitiFact remove their "false" rating and retract an article on why Owens' video was allegedly false, but the site offered an added "correction" admitting their fault.
Owens' video, which was posted on Nov. 12, offered commentary on the 2020 presidential election, and was captioned, "Joe Biden is literally and legally not the President-elect. So why is the media pretending he is?"
The video was hit with a "false" rating, and, as noted by Owens, theoretically, every single person who shared the post was alerted by Facebook that they had shared "false" content.
"Weeks ago, [Facebook] censored a post of mine which truthfully stated that [Joe Biden] is NOT the President-elect. So I got lawyers involved," she said Saturday via Twitter. "Conclusion? [PolitiFact] uncensored the post & admitted that they LIED by rating my post false. The fact-checkers are lying for Democrats."
The note from PolitiFact reads as follows:
Correction: PolitiFact originally labeled this video false in our capacity as a third-party fact-checker for Facebook. On Nov. 20, an appeal to that decision was made on behalf of Ms. Owens. PolitiFact approved the appeal on Nov. 20, determined that a correction was appropriate, and removed the false rating.
"At 8 Months pregnant, I unfortunately cannot fight on the ground alongside patriots like I am used to, but I am taking every measure to fight these communists in the court room," Owens said in a follow-up post. "It is my goal to expose these lying 'fact-checkers' one by one. [Joe Biden] is NOT the President-elect."

But the language from PolitiFact's note perhaps downplays what really happened.
The BLEXIT founder told The Daily Wire on Saturday that she reached out to PolitiFact on Nov. 20 with legal representation and immediately heard back, with PolitiFact admitting their error. Language from a lawyer at PolitiFact, according to Owens, read as follows:
Upon first glance, this video from Ms. Owens was labeled false from PolitiFact in error. We already have removed the label from the video and you should now be able to see it unobstructed.
As we're about 25 minutes into this, we still don't know how or why the post was labeled 'false.' We are investigating and hope to share more information with you formally on Monday.
Owens said she was not further briefed on the supposed "error" and that she felt the retraction wasn't enough; she wanted PolitiFact to admit publicly that they falsely fact-checked her.
"I wanted to show that these fact-checkers just lie, and they usually go unchecked because most people don't have the money, don't have the time, and don't have the platform to go after them — and I have all three," she said.
With pressure from Owens' legal representation, PolitiFact issued the correction, which she shared with the public on Saturday. That was a win. And another "major win," she said, was PolitiFact essentially admitting "that Joe Biden is not the President-elect."
Owens, who's currently suing fact-checkers from USAToday and Lead Stories, explained to The Daily Wire that she knew she had to reach out with legal representation if she wanted to get results with this latest false fact-check. She said that in her experience, when she's tried to appeal fact-checks through the system, she's been stonewalled.
"These people are sitting back thinking they're the gods of tech; opinion-checkers, they're censorship lords," the conservative said.
It was that past treatment by fact-checkers that sparked Owens' suit, which was announced earlier this month. She has launched her own legal website to raise funds for the pricey battle.
The suit seems to have numerous goals, including an effort to disincentivize single-narrative "fact-checking."
"I want to make it so there's no incentive for PolitFact, USAToday, Lead Stories to sign-on to be a fact-checker," she said. "I want to show that they can get sued and lose money. So, what is the point of them taking on that liability on behalf of Facebook?"
"At the same time, Facebook is distancing themselves from fact-checkers," Owens continued. "We went after Facebook and sent them a letter, and they said, we have nothing to do with the fact checkers. … So, if Facebook isn't coming to their aid, and they're being sued by individuals, there will be no upside. And that's sort of the corner we're trying to pinch them into."
Owens wants the censorship stopped for the millions of Americans sharing opinions or information against the one accepted narrative from the Left. If she wins her legal case, she said, she could set the precedent for a massive class action lawsuit against Facebook from others who've allegedly been censored.
As announced on election night, Owens is joining The Daily Wire and has a new show in the works set to debut in 2021.

Trump is toast and he knows it by now...The Electoral College with certify the election on December 12th and it will be certified for Biden.
There is nothing that can be done. The fix was in long before election day. That is why Biden spent so much time hiding in his basement instead of campaigning. He never needed to actually campaign.
The truely sad and frightening part of this is that a significant number of the American people are either okay with this comprised election or they are simply too stupid to understand the ramifications of sitting back and applauding the false outcome. These people are at best TDS infected idiots and at worst, anti-American subversives. Either way they are going to act as the majority until something drastic happens and we real Americans shed this nation of their poisonous influence. At this point with the ballot box being a non-viable opition, the only way that will happen is with bullets.

Yep, I agree! I hope Donald does win... I hope they keep on digging up all the election rot. It's so not right if a cheat "wins". I hope Trump has a plan in place, they knew what was coming but I don't know anything about US gov't and that but there are a lot of Trump supporters outside the USA.
The criminal cartel needs nuking off the planet or something... he said before the election that the swamp is almost drained. I'm wondering who's left to get rid of still.

UN Peacekeeper soldiers fire at protestors in Haiti
Ama Lorenz
Haitian police and UN peacekeepers have attacked protesters with live ammo and chemical agents as several thousand opposition supporters tried to march on the presidential palace, demanding new leadership.
Haiti has seen many anti-government protests in recent months calling for President Michael Martelly to step down, amid a growing anger over the high levels of government corruption. Elections have been delayed now for years.
People took to the streets again today. As the video above shows, the protest march approaching the Presidential Palace faced a barrage of gunfire and tear gas. While major media outlets have the audacity to falsely claim that Haitian police and UN peacekeepers fired only into the air to disperse the protest while on the same page show a photo of the man seen below taking aim at head height. It is profoundly clear that shots to kill were taken.
President Michel Martelly said Friday night last week that he accepted all the findings of a report this week from a government-appointed commission, including its recommendation that the prime minister resign.
Martelly said during a brief televised speech that Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe was prepared to resign, but an actual date for that to happen was not given.
Still no resolution on elections in Haiti

SALAMIS REFIGHTS#3 : THE SEA OF DOOM ALMOST
It is easy to see how one can quickly drown in the literature concerned with Salamis.
There is a veritable hæmerroid of books available about Salamis
To make a recreation of the battle from reading one quickly gets bogged down in academic debates on individual details such as...
Did the Egyptian Squadron go to the Megaran Straits?
Did the Aiginetians make a flank attack, an ambush or even arrive late in the day?
Did the Corinthians make a feigned flight, a real flight or never flee at all?
Did the Greeks back water ? If so, how much ? How long?
So a broad view is needed - and remember IT IS FATAL TO GO DOWN THE ROAD OF RECREATING WHAT MODERN HISTORIANS THINK HAPPENED IN HISTORY.
Historians work to synthesise a believable narrative. They filter the variety and wealth of material available to establish a believable, defendable framework. This is not what gamers do. Gamers should establish and identify parameters and factors and then effectively run a Monte Carlo simulation.
Some would say a Fleming Simulation - but it is actually a genuine article
We are interested in plausible what ifs. We are not interested in introducing spaceships and we are not interested in agreeing the historical outcome was the only one possible because of the historically prevalent conditions. The interest is in the variability.
We have a few certainties for Salamis.
We KNOW the Greeks were not destroyed by the battle
We KNOW Xerxes withdrew from Greece after failing to deliver knock-out blows to either of the Greek land forces or naval forces.
We KNOW Xerxes had moved the largest army and navy the world had ever seen from Asia Minor to Attica and after the battle it was the end of the usual season for campaigning.
Print( or paint) the myth!
The winner of any ancient war-galley battle could mop-up at will, kill defenceless sailors and troops isolated on an island. The Greeks held the strait after the battle and kept the Persians off Salamis and kept a fleet in being but we do not know they smashed the Persian fleet. The Phoenicians went home in a fit of pique but there were plenty of them to go home - the elite of the Persian fleet who bore the brunt of the battle..
For Herodotos and Aeschylus the fact that the Persian fleet left was enough. Surely this was evidence of defeat. 300 'noble' warriors were slain on Psyttalia but what relevance had 300 in a battle involving up to 180,000 men !
But apart from these details....everything else is open for variation to create an interesting confrontation on the table.
We do not know where the battle happened.
We do not know the strength of Persian forces involved, even if we agree the Greek ship total is believable.
There is potential argument over the natur eof the ships used on both sides and the number of fighting men aboard them.
We need to identify and highlight key factors which affect the ancient battle. These factors must not be too numerous and they must have a substantial effect. These will be the basis for the kriegspieling or simulation of the engagement.
To be clear. The game needs to include variable set-ups, variable deployments, even variable sides if there were factors which could have changed those which occurred on the day.
The variables we elect to involve in the game will only be those that affect the day's proceedings in an interesting way. The location of Xerxes throne is not relevant but the location of his admirals is.
Ruggero Giovanini's epic picture of Salamis from Xerxes' perspective : LOOK AND LEARN
Next - Build the battle as a gaming model.
NEW DOWN THE SLIPWAY : Monokrotic Pentekontereis
The pentekonter was the precursor to the trieres. It was the F4, a great fighter from a generation previous to, and totally outclassed by, the F15 - the trieres - which ushered in a new concept of ancient galley warfare. The pentekonter could cruise at 4.5knots or make a burst of speed possibly up to 6 knots. It could accelerate faster than a triakonter but nothing like the trieres. It could not turn as sharply as the smaller ship but probably as well as a trieres.
The pentekonter had 50 oars - the name means a '50' . The ship was probably 30 metres or so long and the vase paintings which show them depict elegant vessels with fine lines. They were fast and agile. With a beam at the waterline of only 2.3 metres or so and a draught of 0.6 metres.
6th Century BC Athenian vase
Pentekonters did not necessarily have rams. They probably had a fore-foot because this was the standard hull form for the Greek Archaic and Classical eras. The first ram-armed war-galley battle, fought in the Sardinian Sea between Phokaians and the combined forces of Carthaginians and Tyrrhenians, took place c.540BC. The pentekonter was the first true war-galley.
Reconstruction of early pentekonter : Late Minoan date
Greek Ship models .com version of a pentekonter
I based my model on a ship with a partial deck /catwalk to allow an element of deck fighters to be perched on the model if desired. It is ram-armed but I could trim the forefoot and paint it as wood if I just want a transport or courier ship.
The oarsmen are modelled, as usual, with individual features taken from surviving statues and vase paintings.
The key characteristic of this model is that it has a single tier of oarsmen. This is a monokrotic oar system. Later developments led to a two-tier pentekonter with a dikrotic oar system. This is the next model down the slipway!
As far as we know, no monokrotic pentekonters were ever built as cataphracts, with a full deck and enclosed oarsmen. Although Demetrius son of Antigonos may have used these ships as the basis for his 'gunboats' at the siege of Rhodes.
Size comparison with a trieres at rear.
Now enjoy the sight of a flotilla of monokrotic pentekonters taking it easy during peacetime manoeuvres 'somewhere in the Aegean'.

About the Richard Jefferies Society
Richard Jefferies' Life & Works
RJS & WHB Literary Prize
Talks and Articles
Excavating the future
There's an excellent article in the 15 June 2018 edition of the Times Literary Supplement
by Jem Poster that examines Jefferies' influence on Edward Thomas'. Here's the beginning:
Richard Jefferies and Edward Thomas: a spiritual affinity in poetry and prose
When Edward Thomas wrote his biography of Richard Jefferies (published in 1909) he was paying homage to a writer who had influenced him, at the deepest level, from childhood onwards. We should beware of over-simplifying the complexities of literary influence – shared concerns do not necessarily imply the direct passage of ideas from an older to a younger writer. But it's clear that Jefferies's works played a crucial role in Thomas's intellectual and imaginative development, and that Thomas's admiration for his predecessor constituted a form of filial devotion. When he discussed his early reading in the memoir posthumously published as The Childhood of Edward Thomas, he accorded Jefferies an importance allowed to no other writer mentioned in that context.

video, Vinyl, What's in the bag?
by verian August 1, 20154:07 pm September 27, 2015
What's In The Bag? (73)
I am a huge lover of Sigur Rós and have been since the moment I first heard them. They are one of those bands that never seem to be able to do anything wrong, for me at least. I don't want every album to be the same as the last one and I like how they progress while still maintaning that same something that singles them out and gives them individuality. I don't mind that the words are often in a completely made up language (Hopelandic) as the voice is an instrument and doesn't have to be coherent, and I like, for instance, opera, but haven't a bloody clue what anybody is singing about.
The most recent vinyl Sigur Rós I picked up is titled (), yes, that's open bracket close bracket, and the 8 tracks are untitled. Band guitarist and keyboardist Kjartan Sveinsson said of this choice, "we didn't want to put titles on the record just because there are supposed to be titles on the record." The band themselves do have titles for them, though unofficial:
1. Untitled ("Vaka") "Vaka" is the name of Orri's daughter 6:38
2. Untitled ("Fyrsta") "Fyrsta" means "The First" or "The First Song" 7:33
3. Untitled ("Samskeyti") "Samskeyti" means "Seam" or "Joint" 6:33
4. Untitled ("Njósnavélin") "Njósnavélin" means "The Spy Machine" but is known as "The Nothing Song"
5. Untitled ("Álafoss") Álafoss is the location of the band's studio 9:57
6. Untitled ("E-Bow") Georg Hólm uses an E-bow on his bass in this song 8:48
7. Untitled ("Dauðalagið") "Dauðalagið" means "The Death Song" 13:00
8. Untitled ("Popplagið") "Popplagið" means "The Pop Song" 11:44
Total length: 72:05
() was released in 2002 and I had it on CD for about 10 years before buying this vinyl edition. That it was that long ago when I first heard it is rather a shock as certain music seems to me to have an almost ageless quality about it and this falls into that category. Perhaps because there are no words it doesn't have to fit in any time period. Thought it peaked at only number 49 in the UK album charts I think it's been a bit of a slow burner, as lots of people seem to know it, which is probably helped by the appearance of certain tracks in films and TV series. It's appeared in 'Vanilla Sky', 'The Invasion', the video game 'Dead Space', TV series 'Queer as Folk' and CSI:Miami amongst others. If I didn't know it already I think that upon hearing it in any of the above I would probably investigate it as it is quite unusual sonically.
If you happen to be unaware of their back catalogue, then this is a pretty decent place to start, or maybe Ágætis byrjun
I've been after a vinyl version of TAKK for quite some time (it's a double 10″) but it is going for crazy prices, over £150, which is ridiculous. The good news is that it would appear that it is to be re-released on vinyl and I should be able to get it for a reasonable price. More on Sigur Rós in the future

Watergate Scandal Case Study
Cassidy Smart The Disillusionment Portfolio Part 1- The Vietnam War changed the way people saw the government. The people began to compare what they saw on the television, verse, what they saw with their own eyes. Many people began to question what the government was doing. The people didn't know whether the government was lying or was telling the truth. Many people began to protest the U.S. government. Most of the protesters were young and born at the end, or after the Second World War In 1968, Nixon won the presidential election, due to because he said that he would "end the Vietnam War." In 1969 there were over 500,000 American troops fighting in Vietnam. Nixon announced his policy, Vietnamization. This caused the U.S. making South Vietnamese army to be…show more content…

It was important because, President Richard Nixon got caught with many crime charges. He got elected out of office for many of the crimes. The purpose of this was to explain what Watergate Scandal was, what happened to President Nixon. The original audience of this would have been the publics, from the government. This helped me view that the government was trying to explain to the public what was happening, and that the government was trying to help. "In July, the Supreme Court ordered Nixon to turn over the
Quasi War Essay
Upon arriving in France, the delegation was told by three French agents, referred to in reports as X, Y, and Z, that in order to speak to Foreign Minister Charles Maurice de Talleyrand, they would have to pay a large bribe, provide a loan for the French war effort, and Adams would have to apologize for anti-French statements(militaryhistory.about.com). Refusing to comply, the delegation departed and returned home. This event prompted the Federalist slogan, "Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute." The Quasi War also had many effects on both France and the United States. The biggest effect was the new United States navy and the weakened French(American Pageant 13th ed.).
Watergate Scandal On the evening of June 17th, 1972 is the date that marks the occurrence of the Watergate Scandal (Olson). Watergate is located in Washington D.C and was nothing more than an office and an apartment complex (Olson). That changed when the scandal initiated with a break-in at Watergate and five burglars were arrested (Olson). This was quite an unforgettable and shocking scandal to the society of America, and would change the lives of many people involved, such as President Richard Nixon. If it wasn't for the Watergate Hotel security guard, Frank Willis, then justice would not have been served (Olson).
The Sixties In America
It was an issue of politics. The assassination of President John F. Kennedy was a depressing social issue that occurred in the early sixties. Another big loss for socially reforming America was the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. He was a major advocate in the civil rights social reform and fought for racial equality. These issues notably affected the social, political, economic, and cultural revolutions and reforms that occurred during the
1968 Was a Turning Point For The United States
The Vietnam War and the draft also sparked major protests around the United States specifically from college students who resented The System or The Man. 1968 was a turning point for the United States by the Vietnam War and Civil Rights. Nixon was a high card in Vietnam, his unusual tactics and highly conspicuousness caused much hysteria in the United States. Vietnam was a much highly debated and thought of issue, as Nixon learned that three hundred United States soldiers were dying in Vietnam per week, he started taking various actions. He acquired to try different things such as the secret Operation Menu and Linebacker II for inducing hostilities to Vietnam.
Paul Potter's Speech: Students For A Democratic Society
Paul Potter's Speech: Paul Potter was the president for the SDS, Students for a Democratic Society. He addressed the public in a famous speech about the war in Vietnam. He describes how America's role has not only been extremely harmful to the people of Vietnam but has also been harmful to the people of the U.S. When Potters states: "We must name that system. We must name it, describe it, analyze it, understand it and change it" he is talking about the injustices of the American government.
Eugene Jarecki Why We Fight Analysis
provokes these actions. American filmmaker, Eugene Jarecki, in his documentary, "Why We Fight," addresses the topic of military industrial complex and argues that the government abuses its power and manipulates Americans about foreign policies and their intentions abroad. He supports this argument by interviewing many government and military personnel and addresses wrongful military actions and weaponry in other countries. Many of the military personnel repeatedly mentioned that orders they disagreed with were part of the job and had to be done. They also agreed that corruption was a huge issue in both legislative and executive branches of government.
The Putting Pot Of Controversy: The Vietnam War
The Vietnam War Millions of people suffered, more than fifty thousand soldiers and innocent bystanders died, hundreds protested, and one war lost. The Vietnam War was a melting pot of controversy, nonviolent protests, and unwanted attention due to the U.S. intervention in Vietnamese affairs, in attempt to contain communism. The American people were lied to by one of the presidents during the start of the Vietnam War. This president was Dwight D. Eisenhower, who told America it was for a good cause. Turning out for the war to actually hurt us rather than help us, The Vietnam War proved to be a common topic among writers and citizens who felt the need to fight against the war, drafting young, and U.S. intervention in foreign policies.
Essay On Response To Vietnam War
There are many different reactions to the Vietnam war, including reactions to the country and soldiers. The country was in protest. Soldiers were often treated poorly and alienated. People wanted to end the war while some people wanted to use maximum military force. People reacted with protests.
The Tet Offensive
The American involvement in the war between North and South Vietnam would drastically change the views of many Americans. With this the nation was split between two parities, ones who were all for the war, and the other that were against it. With every night bringing a live update on the war the views of the people would constantly change biased on the progress of the war. The main part of the war came to a head between the 1960's and 1970's, with the Tet offensive taking place which single handedly end Lyndon brown Johnson's future of running for a second term for president. During the war, the nation seemed to be separated into two parties.

However, by learning our history, everybody's role in the government, learning how the system works and learning simple terms like enemy combatant and habeas corpus you can learn that there is more than just our laws and Constitution.

Car registrations can be tricky business, but once you know a couple of tips you can find those cherished number plates that you are after.
Having number plates for sale isn't a new thing, but the Internet has changed the way that we buy and sell registration numbers. In the past this was solely the preserve of dealers and specialists: now anyone can get involved.
So, if you have a particular car registration number in mind, a good place to start is the Ask-Reg.com search engine. In the past you'd have to come up with the registration number yourself: now you can simply enter a key word and you'll be given a list of numbers that match your interest.
The important thing is to make sure you know all the different types available. Number plates can range from the ultra-pricey one-letter-one-number to affordable and attractive mixes of numbers and letters. Once you've settled on your budget and your requirements you can more easily find what you're looking for.
Cherished plates can be expensive, so another bonus of buying online is that if you're already the owner of a special car registration you can sell the ones you have easily, taking the edge off the potential cost of your desired number.


Hickory nuts make a tasty snack for people and animals.
2 What Is the Fastest Growing Hickory?
Hickory trees are deciduous hardwoods native to the eastern half of the United States. At least 20 species have adapted to the southern, central and northern climates of this region. Hickory wood is distinctive for the cream-colored sapwood that contrasts with the tan to brown or dark-red heartwood and has recently grown in popularity.
Hickory has long been used as handles for axes, shovels and other long-handled tools. The straight, dense grain and hard wood stands up to stress under use. The wooden handles will flex slightly without breaking, making the tool easier to use for the person wielding it. For example, a hickory axe handle absorbs some of the shock as the axe head strikes the wood, imparting less of the impact to the worker's hands and arms.
Because of the sharply contrasting wood colors, hickory was not widely used for furniture, flooring or cabinets. This has changed, especially since the late 1990s and beyond. Hickory flooring, cabinets and furniture add a rustic touch to cabins and homes. Manufacturers and woodworkers specify lumber pieces that display the contrasting sapwood and hardwood on both sides of the boards for the unique appearance of the wood. The demand for hickory as a species for woodworking continues to increase among large and small commercial operations.
Even though hickory enjoyed wide acceptance as a tool handle, the wood was historically used mainly as firewood. Later, the distinctive and pleasant odor of the smoke was used to cure meats such as ham, bacon and sometimes fish. Large producers now use other methods and artificial flavorings to cure meats, but small, traditional meat suppliers and individuals still use hickory wood to impart its distinctive flavor on meat products during the smoking process. Hickory chips for barbecue grills are found in many stores.
Hickory trees produce nuts that, depending on the species, range in flavor from bitter to sweet and dry to oily. A thick, woody husk surrounds a hard shell, which holds the kernel inside. The husks are dried and split open to reach the shell inside, then the shell is cracked open and the kernel is extracted. Hickory trees are related to pecans and the nuts are similar in shape and size. The nuts are eaten raw, toasted or added to baked goods.

UK PM Johnson stable after second night in intensive care battling COVID-19
Almasdar Online - Reuters WEDNESDAY, 08 APRIL, 2020 - 02:56 PM
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson spent a second night in intensive care and was in a stable condition on Wednesday after receiving oxygen support for COVID-19 complications, raising questions about how key decisions would be taken in his absence.
Johnson, who tested positive nearly two weeks ago, was admitted to St Thomas' hospital on Sunday evening with a persistent high temperature and cough but his condition deteriorated and he was rushed into an intensive care unit.
The 55-year-old British leader has received oxygen support but was not put on a ventilator and his designated deputy, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, said he would soon be back at the helm as the world faces one of its gravest public health crisis in a century.
"He is comfortable, he's stable, he's in good spirits," Edward Argar, a junior health minister, said on Wednesday. "While he's had oxygen, he hasn't been on a ventilator.
As Johnson battled the novel coronavirus in hospital, the United Kingdom was entering what scientists said was the deadliest phase of the outbreak and grappling with the question of when to lift the lockdown.
Inside the government, ministers were debating how long the world's fifth-largest economy could afford to be shut down, and the long-term implications of one of the most stringent set of emergency controls in peacetime history.
The United Kingdom's total hospital deaths from COVID-19 rose by a record 786 to 6,159 as of 1600 GMT on April 6, the latest publicly available death toll, though just 213,181 people out of the population of around 68 million have been tested.
Britain was in no position to lift the shutdown as the peak of the outbreak was still over a week away, London Mayor Sadiq Khan said.
"We are nowhere near lifting the lockdown," Khan said.
ACTING PM RAAB?
Johnson was breathing without any assistance and had not required respiratory support, said Raab, who said the prime minister, whom he described as "a fighter", remained in charge.
There are few precedents in British history of a prime minister being incapacitated at a time of major crisis, though Winston Churchill suffered a stroke while in office in 1953 and Tony Blair twice underwent heart treatment in the 2000s.
Johnson has delegated some authority to Raab, who was appointed foreign minister less than a year ago, though any major decisions - such as when to lift the lockdown - would in effect need the blessing of Johnson's cabinet.
Britain's uncodified constitution - an unwieldy collection of sometimes ancient and contradictory precedents - offers no clear, formal "Plan B". In essence, it is the prime minister's call and, if he is incapacitated, then up to cabinet to decide.
Raab said ministers had "very clear directions, very clear instructions" from Johnson but it was not clear what would happen if crucial decisions needed to be made which strayed from the approved plan.
Michael Heseltine, who served as deputy prime minister to John Major in the 1990s, told the Telegraph Raab's position needed to be clarified.
Former Foreign Secretary Malcolm Rifkind said most major decisions over the coronavirus strategy had been taken with the important exception of whether or not to ease the lockdown, a call that will need to be made in the next week or soon after.
"That is not just a medical judgement. It has to be a balance between the medical considerations and the consequences of leaving the whole economy shut down," Rifkind told BBC TV.
While such a decision would be made by cabinet even if Johnson were not unwell, he said Britain's prime minister had authority and sway as the "primus inter pares" - Latin for "first among equals".
"He very often can steer the direction in a particular way. Dominic Raab doesn't have the authority nor would he claim it," Rifkind said.

The anime is both the #6 all-time highest-earning anime film in Japan and the #9 all-time highest-earning film in Japan. The Box Office Mojo website lists it as the #25 film of 2022 worldwide, while The Number website lists it at #30.
Crunchyroll released One Piece Film Red in the United States and Canada on November 4 last year, and in Australia and New Zealand on November 3. The film crossed US$12,768,073 in its second week in the United States, ranking at #8 at the U.S. box office.
The film centers on a new character named Uta, Shanks' daughter. Kaori Nazuka is the speaking voice of Uta, while Ado is the character's singing voice. Ado also performs the film's theme song "Shinjidai" ("New Genesis"). Goro Taniguchi ( Code Geass , One Piece: Defeat The Pirate Ganzak! special) directed One Piece Film Red . Tsutomu Kuroiwa ( One Piece Film Gold , One Piece: Heart of Gold , GANTZ:O , live-action Black Butler ) wrote the screenplay, and One Piece manga creator Eiichiro Oda himself served as executive producer.

Home Paranormal New Zealand Haunted Locations Virtual 3D Tours of Haunted Locations Explore the Victoria Theatre in Devonport
Explore the Victoria Theatre in Devonport
By Mark Wallbank 07/10/2021 07/10/2021
Back in 2012, the team, along with another Auckland based team, Auckland Spirit Chasers, headed to Devonport on Auckland's North Shore to investigate this more than century old theatre where the ghost of a former projectionist is said to dwell.
The Victoria Theatre and Picture Palace is located in Devonport, on Auckland's picturesque North Shore. Known for its beaches and expensive real-estate, the area was primarily rural settlement during the time the theatre was built, with Devonport being the local hub of activity due to its vicinity to the Naval port. Construction of the Auckland Harbour Bridge in 1959 turned the North Shore suburbs into a commuter town for the Auckland CBD, leading to a population boom in the region.
► Explore 3D Space
Haunted Auckland Investigation TVT-1009
The Victoria Theatre was built in 1912 and is the earliest purpose-built cinema still in existence in the Southern Hemisphere. It was built by American John Leon Benwell during the silent movie era, when up to a thousand people could be seated in the theatre. In 1914 John Benwell wanted to return to the USA and sold the Victoria to a new picture company. In order to cash in on the "talkies" boom, in 1929 the company transformed the building from a "picture palace" into an art deco, up-to-date cinema. However the depression struck soon after, audience numbers plummeted and the company ceased operating in 1930. From 1945 Kerridge Odeon took over the Victoria and ran it successfully for 43 years, but by the late 1980's patronage had dropped and the theatre was closed and put up for sale. The Vic was transformed again in 1989 by publisher, Bruce Palmer who converted the Victoria Theatre into Charley Gray's Twin Cinemas Devonport, by separating the original stalls and circle.
The Victoria changed ownership several times during the 1990's and into the new millennium and operated with various degrees of success. In 2001 it faced being turned into apartments and there were a number of attempts by local groups to retain the Vic as a theatrical and cinema space. Following the energetic efforts of the original Victoria Theatre Trust, the North Shore City Council was persuaded to buy the building in 2006. In 2009 the current Trust successfully won the tender to lease the Victoria for 33 years.
Current staff report the present of an entity who they have named "Ethel", believed to be a former projectionist who worked, and died, at the theatre. Reports include feelings of being watched, and some object manipulation.
The Victoria Theatre in Devonport is in our opinion worthy of further investigation.
This case is still open…

The Matterport Scanner doesn't take photographs, or video, instead it scans a property, which in turn, creates a fully immersive, virtual tour which allows you to tour the haunted locations we investigate. All from your computer, phone or in virtual reality!
Meta-tags highlight areas of interest; the reported activity, our experiences there and any relevant information. Later there will be video snippets included to feature captured evidence etc. These will be added to with each investigation session, so it'll always be up-to-date.

Paranormal Investigator and Founder of Haunted Auckland. I have been a mad researcher of everything Paranormal, Extraterrestrial and Crypto-zoological, since early childhood. When not creating electronic music, watching Horror movies and documentaries, archiving and documenting NZ's diverse and eclectic music history, I have spent countless hours investigating and furthering my research out in the field, either as part of a group or solo, since the early 80′s. I've spent much time in opportunistic investigations whilst travelling around New Zealand and Internationally.
