Russia In Revolution 3: 1904-1914 Repression, Revolt and False Promises
Posted by Jim_and_Gerry in Bolshevism, Mobilisation, Russia, St Petersburg
While the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks wrestled with each other for control of a revolution in Russian society, events intervened. In February 1904, just six months after the Brussels/London RSDLP conference ended in the infamous Bolshevik v Menshevik split, Russia was inveigled into a disastrous war with Japan in the Far East. Its roots are to be found in the Machiavellian machinations of the British foreign office, the Secret Elite, including King Edward VII, Sir Ernest Cassel, and Jacob Schiff of Kuhn, Loeb bank on Wall Street. [1] Outraged by the horrendous anti-Jewish pogroms in Russia, Schiff made it a point of honour to help finance Japan in its war against Russia.
To the surprise and delight of the Imperial Japanese government, he volunteered to underwrite half of the ten million pound loan they raised in New York and London. He knew that the Japanese fleet had been built in British shipyards and their latest naval technology outgunned and outpaced the antiquated Czarist navy. Victory was not in doubt. This first of five major Kuhn, Loeb loans to Japan was approved by the Secret Elite's main agent, King Edward VII at a luncheon with Schiff and Sir Ernest Cassel. In Germany, under-secretary of State Arthur Zimmermann endorsed the move and authorised Max Warburg to negotiate with Japan. [2] The Rothschilds had to tread carefully. While an international consortium of largely British-owned banking houses ensured that around half of Japan's war debt was financed through bonds sold in London and New York, the Rothschild held massive investments in Russia, not lest in the Baku oilfields. Manipulators at the heart of the Secret Elite, like Lord Esher, facilitated meetings held on the Rothschild premises to enable the Japanese financial envoy, Takahashi Korekiyo, raise their war chest. [3]
As the Russo-Japanese War lurched from one disaster to another, political unrest in Russia deepened. In the infamous 'Bloody Sunday' atrocity of 22 January 1905, troops fired on a huge, but orderly, crowd of workers marching to the Winter Palace behind the charismatic Russian priest Father Georgii Gapon. Their intention was to present a petition to the Czar calling for universal suffrage. Around 1,000 peaceful marchers and onlookers were killed. Nicholas II had left the city the night before and did not give the order to fire personally, but he lost the respect of many Russians. 1905 was disrupted with direct action from workers' demonstrations, strikes and rebellion by sections of the army and navy. The crew of the battleship Potemkin mutinied, killing the captain and several officers.
Striking workers formed 'Soviets', councils of delegates from workers committees, who could coordinate action. They sprang up in major towns and cities, including St Petersburg, where Trotsky, then twenty-three-years-old, played a major role. He had returned illegally from the safety of Finland under a false name and in the guise of a successful entrepreneur. Trotsky immediately wrote proclamations for distribution in factories and posted these throughout the city. In October 1905 a local strike by print workers flared into a national protest. Gangs of armed right-wing extremists were encouraged by the police to hold counter-demonstrations under the banners of 'Holy Russia' and 'God save the Czar'. In response to the violence, the factory workers armed themselves. A showdown was inevitable.
In December, the Izmailovsky Regiment in St Petersburg was ordered to arrest the entire executive committee of the Soviet in the capital. In sympathy, the Moscow Soviet declared a strike and thousands of Muscovites took to the streets in protest. Cossacks sent to break up the Moscow demonstrations, twice refused orders to charge, and sympathised with the strikers. The crack Semenovsky Guards were less sympathetic, cornering protestors in Presnya, a workers' district in the city, before shelling the area for three days. Many hundreds were killed including eighty-six children. [4] 1905 had started with the Bloody Sunday massacre and ended with the Presnya massacre. Czarist forces, including the secret and much feared Okhrana secret police, prevailed. Later that year, Trotsky and 13 other members of the St Petersburg Soviet were arrested for political scheming and spent thirteen months as prisoners in the city gaol awaiting trial. In January 1907 each was given a life sentence of exile in a small Siberian village above the Arctic Circle, 600 miles from the nearest railway station. Trotsky escaped on his journey into exile and trekked for hundreds of miles through the Urals before making his way to Finland from where, after an extremely frosty meeting with Lenin, he went on to Stockholm and then Vienna.
Nicholas II ruthlessly persecuted the insurrectionists yet introduced measures of reform, including some basic civil liberties and the creation of a State Assembly, the Duma. It was similar to a parliamentary-type elected body but, much like the British parliament in the early nineteenth century, only male property owners and taxpayers were represented. The Czar retained power over State Ministers, who answered to him, not the Duma. If he was dissatisfied with the representative body not could be dissolved at will and fresh elections held.
Unrest continued. Prime Minister and committed monarchist, Pytor Stolypin, survived an attempt on his life in August 1906 when a bomb ripped his dacha (villa) apart while he was hosting a party. Twenty-eight of his guests were killed and many injured, including his two children. In June 1907, Stolypin dissolved the Second Duma, and restricted the franchise by sacking a number of liberals and replacing them with more conservatives and monarchists. In a further attempt to counter the revolutionaries, he enforced a police crackdown on public demonstrations. On a more liberal note, Stolypin introduced agrarian reforms which helped provide opportunities for many peasants desperate for land. Once noticeable consequence was a huge year-on-year increases in food production. Sir George Buchanan, British Ambassador at St Petersburg, noted that though he failed to destroy the seeds of unrest which continued to germinate underground, Stolypin rescued Russia from anarchy and chaos. His agrarian policy surpassed all expectations, and at the time of his death nearly 19,000,000 acres of farmland had been allotted to individual peasant proprietors, by the land committees. [5]
Peasant emancipation and the consequent increase in food production were abhorrent to the Bolsheviks. They intended to bring all land under state control and implement cooperative food production. Trotsky had called the peasantry 'a vast reservoir of potential revolutionaries', and 'accepted the indispensable importance of a peasant rising as an auxiliary to the main task of the proletariat'. [6] The goal was revolution and government controlled by the proletariat, that is, the working class who sold their labour for a wage, but did not own the means of production.
Peasant farmers had to be brought on-board if the revolution was to succeed, but that prospect receded as ever greater numbers were enabled to own their farms. It was clear to both the Czarist regime and the Bolsheviks that the peasantry would not support a political system that would deny them ownership of their land. Stolypin's success threatened the revolution; his agrarian reforms had to be terminated. On 14 September 1911, while attending a performance at the Kiev Opera House in the presence of Czar Nicholas II, the prime minister was shot dead by a Jewish revolutionary, Mordekhai Gershkovich. Trotsky later commented: 'Stolypin's constitution … had every chance of surviving'. [7] Exactly so. Stolypin was assassinated by the revolutionaries not because he failed to improve the lot of the peasant, but because he was so successful in winning them over.
Nine months later, in April 1912, miners in the Lena goldfields in north-east Siberia went on strike. The mines produced large profits for their London registered company, but workers were paid a pittance for 16 hours per day under atrocious conditions. The strike was savagely crushed. In what proved to be the worst massacre since Bloody Sunday, troops fired on striking workers leaving more than 500 casualties. [8] The slaughter heralded a further wave of industrial unrest, agitation and mounting tension throughout the country. Two weeks after the massacre, the Bolsheviks founded a new newspaper, Pravda.
Despite these tragic events, preparations for the First World War gathered pace. After the humbling defeat to Japan in 1905, Russian industry recovered spectacularly thanks to the Rothschilds and other international bankers who continued to pour massive loans into the country. The Russian economy grew at an average rate of 8.8 per cent and by 1914 there were almost a thousand factories in Petrograd alone, many devoted to producing armaments. The expansion of Russia's war industry, along with her rail network into Poland, deeply worried war planners in Berlin. But it came at a cost. 'The pre-war Russian boom was thus highly leveraged, [and] dependent on a constant influx of foreign capital, which if it ever dried up, would leave Russia's entire economy vulnerable.' [9]
Shipbuilding, railroad construction and armaments and munitions production significantly expanded. The international bankers earned large profits from substantial interest rates on their loans, and at the same time, enabled Russia to conduct a major rearmament programme in readiness for the Secret Elite's coming war with Germany. Given that Britain had no land army on European soil, Russian manpower was absolutely critical to an attack on Germany. Bullets and artillery shells were produced by the millions. A powerful new fleet of battleships, cruisers, destroyers and submarines began rising on the stocks in shipyards across the empire. Conditions attached to large railway loans insisted that these had to be used purely for the construction of new railroads which ran towards Germany's borders. Why was this particular stipulation given priority? Mobilising an army of millions had never been easy. It required efficient planning and careful logistical organisation. A capable railway network was a prerequisite for the mobilisation of the huge Russian armies which would be critical when war with Germany was declared. [10] Look again at the men who laid down the stipulation. International bankers. How odd, unless of course it was they who were planning the war.
In late July 1914, Czar Nicholas II, urged on in his recklessness by the French president, Poincare, and secret understandings with the British government, used the pretext of protecting Serbia against Austrian retribution to force Germany to declare war. He ordered the general mobilisation of Russia's armies through a massive build-up of troops along Germany's Eastern border. General mobilisation was recognised by all nations as an act of war. Faced with invasion by millions of Russian troops, and despite repeated requests from Kaiser Wilhelm directly to Czar Nicholas that he should stop the troop movements, Germany was left with no choice but to mobilise her own forces and go to war with Russia. [11]
To repay the Czar for his 'loyalty', the Secret Elite dangled before him the golden carrot of Russia's ultimate dream. A solemn promise was given that Russia would be given Constantinople and the Straits once Germany had been defeated, the holy grail of Russian leaders for centuries. That was why Russia went to war in July 1914, not, as she claimed, to defend Serbia. As the years dragged on and the Russian losses on the Eastern Front approached six million dead or seriously wounded, even the Czar began to suspect that Perfidious Albion had tricked them into war with an empty promise. [12] It had. Their ownership of Constantinople remained as illusionary as it always had.
In a sense it was as though Russia went to war in 1914 despite the revolutionary undercurrent. Victory on the field of battle, the glittering reward of a warm-water port at Constantinople, the spoils from a broken and defeated Germany would surely have renewed popular faith in the Russian monarchy. In fact the deeply wounded Russian people suffered defeat, disgrace and ultimate disintegration. The socialist forces that had been growing steadily between 1904 and 1914 found direct backing from foreign quarters few ever understood. This has to be fully examined.

Revolution In Russia 2: The Struggle Within; Bolshevism or Menshevism?
Posted by Jim_and_Gerry in Bolshevism, Leon Trotsky, Menshevism, Russia, Vladimir Lenin
Years prior to the Bolshevik seizure of power, Lenin and many other young revolutionaries who voiced their opposition to the backward Czarist regime were condemned to exile in Siberia. Among them was Leon Davidovitch Bronstein, alias Leon Trotsky, who was sentenced to four years in the frozen wilderness. Trotsky was a Marxist, like Lenin and knew him well, but he initially sided with a softer faction socialism rather than Lenin's hard-line Bolsheviks. He later switched his allegiance to Lenin when both were financed by western bankers to seize power in October 1917. Thereafter, he became second in command of the Bolsheviks, founded the Red army, and was every bit as infamous as Lenin.
Trotsky was born in 1879 in a small rural village, Yankova, in southern Ukraine. His father, although illiterate, was a relatively wealthy farmer. Resourceful and acquisitive, Bronstein senior owned over 250 acres of land and became a substantial employer. Both of Trotsky's parents were Jewish, but unlike his agrarian father, his mother was an educated and cultured city dweller from Odessa. Religious observance was of little importance to either, but they sent Leon to a beder, a Jewish school. [1]
In 1902 Trotsky escaped from exile in Siberia, leaving behind his wife Alexandra and their two young daughters. According to Trotsky, it was Alexandra who had insisted that he put his duty to revolution before family. [2] Trotsky blamed 'fate' for their separation, but his actions suggested unbridled pragmatism and 'an urge to free himself from a burden in order to move on to higher things.' [3] Soon after abandoning his wife and children in Siberia, he divorced Alexandra and married Natalia Sedova, daughter of a wealthy merchant.
In the early years of the century numerous other revolutionaries, who had either completed their exile or escaped from Siberia, left Russia for cities in Western Europe. Many thousands more made their way to New York where they formed a powerful revolutionary group in exile. Banned from St Petersburg, Lenin and a fellow activist, Julius Martov, settled in Munich in Germany where they promoted the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (RSDLP). Lenin believed the party had to be run from outside Russia. The RSDLP called its journal Iskra (The "Spark") believing that from that spark, the flame of revolution would spring: 'The agents would distribute it, spread party propaganda through local cells and channel information to the Central Committee. The journal would help create a cohesive party that until then had consisted of a series of independent groups.' [4] Lenin firmly believed Karl Marx's dictum that capitalism would inevitably disintegrate in Russia and elsewhere because it carried within it the forces of its own destruction. Thereafter, power would be grasped by the workers, the men and women who had been exploited by capital. So the theory ran.
In late 1901, harassed by the Munich police, Lenin and the Iskra editors moved to Finsbury in London where they were joined for a time by Leon Trotsky. Arguments about the best means of instigating revolution in Russia and elsewhere led to ever increasing conflict, especially between Lenin and his friend and comrade, Julius Martov. Internal wrangling exploded at the 1903 party congress which began in Brussels in July, but was suspended after pressure by the Russian embassy led to fear of police persecution and forced the delegates to complete their business in London. It was 'the first major conference that was truly representative of party delegates from Russia and all over Europe'. [5] The congress was attended by representatives of 25 recognised social-democratic organisations who had two votes each. For some reason each representative of the Jewish workers organisation, the Bund, had three votes 'in virtue of the special status … accorded to it by the first congress.' [6]
The congress was dominated by the Iskra group, but Lenin realized that he could not carry the party forward in the way he desired, so he deliberately split it. Consequently, the revolutionaries divided into 'hard' and 'soft' factions. Lenin wanted clear-cut, perfectly defined relationships within the party, and behind the scenes there was a struggle for the support of every individual delegate. Lenin tried to convince Trotsky that he should join the 'hard' faction, but he refused. [7]
The 'hard' faction was led by Lenin who proclaimed his followers to be the bolshinstvo, the 'men in the majority', and thereafter they became known as the Bolsheviks. Marxist intellectuals and those of a less intense ideology were attracted to the 'soft' faction while the hard Bolshevik group, although it had its share of intellectuals, was favoured more by provincial party workers and professional revolutionaries: "the bacteria of the revolution" as Lenin called them. Basically, the 'softs' favoured debate while the hard-line Bolsheviks were militants who considered themselves exclusively the champions of the Russian working class.
Lenin wanted a party he was able to control tightly, and did so through a team of highly disciplined secret workers employed in a semi-military fashion. It was his brainchild, his party, and above all it was his aim to make it the instrument for revolution and the overthrow of the monarchy, despite the knowledge that 'it could not be achieved without countless victims.' [8]
Julius Martov's group, including Alexander Kerensky, was allegedly the minority (menshinstvo) in the RSDLP and became known as the Mensheviks. They favoured the establishment of a parliamentary form of government like the French Republic. At first Mensheviks sought to work within the system, believing that revolution in Russia would be started by the middle classes, not the proletariat. Although he flatly refused to join the Bolsheviks, Trotsky was never truly at home with the Mensheviks and aimed to occupy the middle ground. [9] He was an internationalist who believed in the abolition of all territorial borders. This, of course, sat well with the long-term globalist goal of dissolution of independent nation states and implementation of one world government so dear to the heart of the Secret Elite. When the Mensheviks ignored Trotsky's call for reconciliation, he effectively distanced himself from the Bolsheviks. Though nominally still a Menshevik, he attended the Fifth Party Congress of the Bolsheviks in London in 1907 where he met Joseph Stalin. [10]
Lenin subscribed to the consensus view within the RSDLP that revolution should lead to a 'constituent assembly' elected by the whole people on the basis of 'universal, equal and direct suffrage, and with secrecy of the ballot', but it was the manner in which it could be brought which differentiated his stance from the 'soft' Mensheviks. He scoffed at their call for a peaceful democratic processes. 'Without armed insurrection' he thundered, 'a constituent assembly is a phantom, a phrase, a lie, a Frankfort talking-shop'. [11] At the third all-Bolshevik congress in London in April 1905, Lenin gave a long speech on the need for an armed uprising and expressed outrage that the Mensheviks had invited the Social Democrats to take part in elections to the czarist parliament. He considered the slow process of parliamentary reform as blasphemy and his language towards the Mensheviks grew more extreme. That in turn made party reunification impossible. [12]
Julius Martov, encouraged by Trotsky, considered ending the divisions, but Lenin regarded reunification of the party as an opportunity for the Bolsheviks to swallow up the Mensheviks. In the end Martov, who wanted to retain democratic principles within the Party, rejected this compromise. In 1908 he wrote to his Menshevik comrade Pavel Axelrod: 'I confess that more and more I think that even nominal involvement with this bandit gang is a mistake'. [13] It was this same Bolshevik 'bandit gang' that took control of Russia in October 1917 backed by the international bankers. In the final analysis, the difference between the two factions boiled down to the Bolsheviks' concept of socialism on the basis of a dictatorship, and the Mensheviks' on the basis of democracy'. [14] The split widened and deepened until it led to a formal separation after 1912. [15]
Lenin and Trotsky traded insults over the years. Trotsky's deeply held belief lay in the democratic 'Westernising' principle, but Lenin considered him evasive, underhand, and 'merely posing as a leftist'. Trotsky retorted that 'the entire structure of Leninism is at present based on lies and falsification and carries within it the poisonous seeds of its own destruction.' [16] According to Trotsky, Lenin had lost sight of the struggle for the emancipation of the working class and had become a despot who spoke of the victory of the proletariat when he really meant victory over the proletariat. [17] Trotsky was correct but his instinct was insufficiently strong to maintain the rift between them, especially, as we will shortly detail, wealthy outside influences drew them together.

Revolution In Russia 1: Understanding Influences
Posted by Jim_and_Gerry in Bolshevism, Czar Nicholas II, Leon Trotsky, Mobilisation, Russia, St Petersburg, Vladimir Lenin
The First World War drained Russia, literally and metaphorically. By January 1917, after two-and-a-half years of mortal combat, six million young Russians had been killed, seriously wounded or lost in action for no territorial or strategic gain. The dream of winning Constantinople had become a nightmare of miserable defeat. Food shortages, hunger, anti-war agitation and civil unrest increased by the day across the Czar's once-mighty Empire. On 22 February, 1917, 12,000 workers at the giant Putilov manufacturing plant in Petrograd [1] went on strike and were joined on the streets by thousands of demonstrators chanting 'Down with the Czar'. Soldiers from the city garrison were sent out to arrest the ring-leaders and end the protest, but they refused to open fire on the angry crowds. The Czar abdicated almost immediately, allegedly because he believed that he had lost the support of his military. The event was bloodless apart from the death of several officers shot by their own men. Thus the first Russian Revolution, known as the 'February Revolution', ended 300 years of autocratic monarchical rule. A governing body was established in the Winter Palace in Petrograd by liberal deputies from the existing parliamentary body, the Duma, together with socialists and independents. Termed the 'Provisional Government', it kept Russia in the war against Germany and began formulating plans for democratic rule through an elected legislative assembly of the people. It was a beginning.
The seizure of power by Bolshevik revolutionaries on 25 October, 1917, [2] brought communism to Russia and major strife to the entire world for the greater part of the twentieth century. For readers not versed in modern Russian history it is important to note that the Bolshevik Revolution was very distinct from the revolution that had taken place eight months earlier.
During the night of October 24/25, a group of armed communists seized key areas of Petrograd, entered the Winter Palace and assumed control of the country. The coup was led by Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky, two extreme Marxist revolutionaries who had returned to Russia earlier that year from enforced exile. This was the 'Bolshevik Revolution', also known as the 'October Revolution'. Lenin and Trotsky smothered the fledgling attempt at democratic governance, took Russia out of the war with Germany and installed a ruthless communist system that suppressed Russia for the next seventy-four years.
According to received history, the February Revolution was an entirely spontaneous uprising of the people. It was not. The Putilov strike, and the city garrison's refusal to act against the strikers, was orchestrated from abroad by well-financed agents who had been stirring unrest among the workers and soldiers with propaganda and bribery. The October Revolution was also directly influenced by the same international bankers, with vast financial and logistical support which enabled Lenin and Trotsky to seize power. What is particularly relevant to the Secret Elite narrative is the evidence of their complicity from both sides of the Atlantic. Without external intervention, the Russian Revolutions would never have taken the ruinous direction which destroyed a nation's hope for justice and democracy. As these blogs unfold over the next weeks please bear this in mind.
Russia had been ruled by the 'divine right' of Czars from the reign of Ivan the Terrible (1547-1584) until the abdication of Nicholas II in February 1917. The ruling Romanovs dynasty was one of the richest families in the world, on a par with the Rothschilds. They owned huge estates with elaborate palaces, yachts, a massive collection of diamonds (amounting to 25,300 carats), emeralds, sapphires and fifty-four of the priceless jewel-encrusted Faberge eggs. [3] In May 1917, the New York Times estimated the total wealth of the dynasty to be in the region of $9,000,000,000, [4] a breath-taking sum today let alone a century ago. A significant number of upper and middle class Russians (the bourgeoisie), included merchants, government officials, lawyers, doctors and army officers who enjoyed comfortable incomes and life styles. That said, urban factory workers (the proletariat) and rural agrarian workers (the peasants) comprised the vast majority of the population of 175 million in 1914. But the war haemorrhaged both youth and loyalty. The populace survived on the edge of poverty and hunger, but did not generally support revolutionaries. [5] If radical change was required, it would have to be manufactured.
Czar Alexander II had abolished serfdom in 1861 but opposed movements for political reform. Having survived several attempts on his life, he was eventually assassinated on the streets of St Petersburg in 1881 by members of a revolutionary group, 'People's Will', led by a Jew, Vera Figner. Thereafter, the Jews in the Pale of Settlement [6] were subjected to a series of terrifying pogroms (religious-ethnic massacres). Over the following decades peasants rebelled over taxes which left them debt ridden and oppressed by hopelessness. Workers went on strike for better wages and working conditions. Students demanded civil liberties for all, and even the comfortable bourgeoisie began calling for representative government. Though this clamour for social change and greater equality was apparent across Europe, the Romanovs resisted challenges to their autocratic authority with bitter determination.
In 1897, in the midst of this social unrest, a 27 year-old Marxist lawyer and intellectual Russian radical, Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, was arrested by Czarist secret police (the Okhrana) for subversive activities and sentenced to three years exile in Siberia. Ulyanov was treated lightly in comparison to his older brother, Alexander, who ten years earlier plotted to assassinate Czar Alexander III and was hanged for his troubles. Vladimir Ulyanov took the alias Lenin and would go on to become the most powerful man in Russia following the October Revolution.
Born in Simbirsk (renamed Ulyanovsk in his honour in 1924), a town on the Volga some 900 kilometres east of Moscow, Lenin's father was an inspector of the provinces schools. His mother, the daughter of a baptised Jewish doctor, Alexander Blank, [7] bought the family a farm of some two hundred acres near Samara for 7,500 roubles. The fact that Lenin had Jewish forebears would have had absolutely no relevance were it not for the fact that many consider the Bolshevik Revolution to have been a Jewish plot. We have already explained how powerful individuals within the Secret Elite who supported Zionism were behind the Balfour Declaration of 2 November, 1917 which led eventually to the creation of the state of Israel. Within 72 hours of that declaration, the men who were financed and aided by these same individuals, seized control of Russia. It does not require a great leap of imagination to consider the possibility that these two seismic events in world history were connected in some way.
In March 1919, The Times reported, 'One of the most curious features of the Bolshevist movement is the high percentage of non-Russia elements amongst its leaders. Of the 20 or 30 leaders who provide the central machinery of the Bolshevist movement, not less than 75 per cent are Jews …' [8] Note that The Times differentiated between Russian and Jew, as if it were not possible to be both, while the Jewish Chronicle emphasised the importance of the Jewish influence on Bolshevism: 'There is much in the fact of Bolshevism itself, in the fact that so many Jews are Bolsheviks, in the fact that the ideals of Bolshevism at many points are consonant with the finest ideals of Judaism'. [9] Another Jewish journal, American Hebrew, reported: 'What Jewish idealism and Jewish discontent have so powerfully contributed to produce in Russia, the same historic qualities of the Jewish mind are tending to promote in other countries … The Bolshevik revolution in Russia was the work of Jewish brains, of Jewish dissatisfaction, of Jewish planning, whose goal is to create a new order in the world. What was performed in so excellent a way in Russia, thanks to Jewish brains, and because of Jewish dissatisfaction and by Jewish planning, shall also, through the same Jewish mental and physical forces, become a reality all over the world.' [10] It is interesting to note that in 1920, just three years after the Balfour Declaration, Jewish journals were openly discussing the primacy of Jews in creating a new world order.
Rabbi Stephen Wise later commented on the Russian situation: 'Some call it Marxism I call it Judaism.' [11] Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, a victim of the communist regime who spent many years exiled in Siberia and was a later recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature, was emphatic that Jews were not involved in the first revolution: 'The February Revolution was not made by the Jews for the Russians; it was certainly carried out by the Russians themselves … We were ourselves the authors of this shipwreck.' [12] Solzhenitsyn, however, added: 'In the course of the summer and autumn of 1917, the Zionist movement continued to gather strength in Russia: in September it had 300,000 adherents. Less known is that Orthodox Jewish organisations enjoyed great popularity in 1917, yielding only to the Zionists and surpassing the socialist parties.' [13] He observed: 'There are many Jewish authors who to this very day either deny the support of Jews for Bolshevism, or even reject it angrily, or else…only speak defensively about it… These Jewish renegades were for several years leaders at the centre of the Bolshevik Party, at the head of the Red Army (Trotsky), of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee, of the two capitals, of the Comintern …' [14] Given the repression of the Jews in Russia, it is hardly surprising that they swelled the numbers of active revolutionaries during this period. They had suffered the horror of the pogroms. They had nursed a genuine resentment for Czarist repression. They were determined to change the world.
The relationship between Jews and revolutionaries was explained by Theodor Herzl, one of the fathers of the Zionist movement in a pamphlet, De Judenstat, addressed to the Rothschilds: 'When we sink, we become a revolutionary proletariat, the subordinate officers of all revolutionary parties, and at the same time, when we rise, there rises also our terrible power of the purse'. [15] On Herzl's death, his successor as president of the World Zionist Organisation was the Russian born David Wolfsohn. In his closing speech at the International Zionist Congress at The Hague in 1907, Wolfsohn pleaded for greater unity among the Jews and said that eventually 'they must conquer the world'. [16] He did not expand on the role that Jewish Bolshevik revolutionaries might play in this Jewish global aspiration, but from his position it seems apparent that political Zionism and the future 'homeland' certainly would. [17] Wolfsohn's successor as president of the Zionist organisation in 1911 was Otto Warburg, a noted scientist and relative of the Warburg banking family which features heavily in this book. Warburg later spoke of the 'brilliant prospects of Palestine' and how an extensive Jewish colonisation would 'expand into neighbouring countries'. [18]
A report in 1919 from the British Secret Service revealed: 'There is now definite evidence that Bolshevism is an international movement controlled by Jews; communications are passing between the leaders in America, France, Russia and England, with a view toward concerted action.' [19] Hilaire Belloc, Anglo-French writer, philosopher and one time Liberal MP at Westminster, wrote: 'As for anyone who does not know that the present revolutionary movement is Jewish in Russia, I can only say that he must be a man who is taken in by the suppression of our despicable Press. [20] Contemporary commentators failed to link the Balfour Declaration and the Russian Revolution in October/November 1917, despite their links to Zionism and the 'concerted action' from both sides of the Atlantic. It should not be seen as a criticism; it was a fact.
1. The Russian capital, St Petersburg, was renamed Petrograd at the beginning of WW1 to give it a less German sounding name. It reverted to St Petersburg on the fall of communism.
2. The date, October 25, 1917, was calculated by the old-style the Julian calendar then still used in Russia – The Gregorian calendar used elsewhere in Europe and the United States registered the date as November 7, 1917, thus the old style Julian calendar was 13 days behind the Gregorian.

The Balfour Declaration 12: The Hand of The Rothschilds
Posted by Jim_and_Gerry in A.J. Balfour, Balfour Declaration, Chaim Weizmann, Edmund de Rothschild, James de Rothschild, Lionel de Rothschild, Palestine, Rothschilds, Zionism
Before 2 November 1917 no public position had been taken on the future of Palestine by any government. Thereafter there was a proposal from Lloyd George's British government, approved by President Wilson in America, to support the establishment of a Jewish homeland under certain conditions. But the future of Palestine had been included in three radically different commitments secretly made by the British government to the French, the Arabs and the Jews. The French could be bought-off with Syria. The Arabs, well they were considered a lesser race by the Secret Elite and, it was presumed, could be led down a different path. The Jews, by that time described as Zionists, offered a very interesting opportunity. Key inner-circle members of the Secret Elite believed that the Empire's strategic security would be greatly enhanced by a Jewish Palestine which owed its existence to Britain. These Zionists could be useful.
Behind the political enthusiasm for a Jewish homeland displayed so publicly by the War Cabinet in 1917 lay this question: who was influencing them? Which of the small number of Zionist enthusiasts penetrated their inner circle and found favour with the Secret Elite? The primary answer was the House of Rothschild. Not every Rothschild, no, but over the span of 1914-1917 significant Rothschilds championed the Zionist cause and were seen by the public, especially the Jewish public, as its real leaders. Baron Edmond de Rothschild in Paris was the first of the nineteenth-century Rothschilds to help Russian victims of the vile pogroms to emigrate to Palestine between 1881-2. Throughout the pre-war years, he acquired and supported several communities in Palestine. By 1903 nineteen out of twenty-eight Jewish settlements in Palestine were subsidised partly or wholly by him. It was claimed that Edmond's commitment was not aimed at the creation of a Jewish state. [1] That is convenient, for once the First World War was underway, it was he who urged Weizmann to seize the opportunity to establish a Jewish Palestine. [2]
In London, under the patronage of Lord Nathaniel, the Rothschilds had originally expressed no particularly strong enthusiasm for Palestine. They were considered to be disinterested, until Natty died in 1915. Described at his funeral as the 'leader of his far-flung brothers … the Prince of the Diasporas of Israel' [3] by the Chief Rabbi of the British Empire, the great 'Natty' held a 'quasimonarchial status within British Jewry'. [4] Yet again mythistory gave rise to extravagant titles. Suddenly, Natty Rothschild was transformed into a mythological prince of a mythological diaspora.
If Nathaniel was King, Walter was his heir. It was to Walter Rothschild that Balfour sent the Declaration because, for much of the preceding year, Walter had been actively promoting Zionism in company with Chaim Weizmann. Walter has long been described first and foremost as a zoologist who collected exotic birds and animals; a reluctant banker; a very shy man with a speech impediment. [5] The evidence from which we have analysed the Balfour Declaration stands testament to a different truth. It was Walter Rothschild who allegedly drafted and redrafted letters to foreign secretary Balfour in 1917. [6] Be mindful that the Declaration passed through at least 5 drafts. At the very least, if say, Weizmann drafted these letters in Walter's name, it had the Rothschild signature. Walter opposed the idea that power in Palestine might be shared between Britain and France and, Weizmann claimed, believed that Palestine must become a British Protectorate. [7]
Later, Jacob, the 4th Lord Rothschild described his grandfather Walter as a deeply eccentric ornithologist who, for example, did not open any mail over a two year period because he didn't want to communicate with the rest of the world. [8] Well, he clearly opened Balfour's letter. Walter did not flinch when confronted by Jewish opponents to political Zionism. He tackled them head-on. He wrote to The Times on several occasions to condemn leading Jewish opponents. When the presidents of the Jewish Board of Deputies and the Anglo-Jewish Association published what he deemed to be a manifesto against Zionism, both he and Weizmann wrote stinging letters of condemnation. Walter Rothschild then had the authors of the letter censured at the next meeting of the Board of Deputies and used his father's name to justify his position. Whether he was a led in such matters by Weizmann or not, changes nothing.
It was generally believed that Natty Rothschild held little time for Zionists but Walter insisted that 'during the latter years of his life, [his father] had frequently told him that in principle he was in favour of the establishment of a Jewish National homeland in Palestine, but not so long as Palestine was in Turkish hands' [9] The dead cannot easily contradict the living. Walter Rothschild pressed both Lloyd George and Balfour to make a clear statement in favour of a Jewish homeland, and accompanied Chaim Weizmann when the Zionist leader in Britain went to persuade Balfour that a Jewish homeland had to have an expression of support before the war ended. [10] Walter presided over the mass meeting of triumph after the Declaration at the London Opera House on 2 December and spoke eloquently. Walter Rothschild was intimately involved in the successful delivery of the Balfour Declaration and fronted much of the political pressure which the Zionists exerted.
So too was the French-born James de Rothschild, Edmond's son. He abandoned France after the anti-Jewish Dreyfus affair at the turn of the century [11] and was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge. James shared his father's enthusiasm for Jewish communities in Palestine. Chaim Weismann corresponded with him, [12] and visited his wife, Dorothy Pinto [13] while James was serving in France. The Rothschild Archives at Waddesdon Manor retains a priceless collection of documents, including the original Balfour letter itself, but the correspondence from Dorothy de Rothschild clearly proves that Weizmann's success within British society was neither opportunism nor good fortune. Dorothy had married James when she was seventeen years of age and her commitment to the Zionist cause never wavered. She wrote frequently to Chaim Weizmann and helped him to become integrated into British Society, and most importantly, the Secret Elite. According to Lord Jacob, Dorothy devoted herself to Israel. If, as he claimed, Chaim Weizmann miraculously seduced Lloyd George, Balfour and the Secret Elite into accepting the Zionist ambitions, [14] it was a miracle facilitated by and through the Rothschild family.
James de Rothschild had attended a special meeting on 17 February 1917, with Weizmann, Walter Rothschild, Herbert Samuel and Sir Mark Sykes to establish a pressure group specifically created to urge the British government to make a positive statement confirming Palestine's future. [15] James, distrustful of French politicians, warned that if British Jews approached the French government for support, the French would would use their own Rabbis to press for a French mandate for Palestine. He became involved in day-today Zionist politics and in April and May, 1917, he played an integral part in the Brandeis- Weizmann telegram exchanges which we have already examined. [16] He too spoke at the great rally of 2 December and, quoting his father Edmond's unerring commitment to Palestine, claimed that 'Jewish ideals up to this time had been met at the gate, but could not get through. With one stroke of the pen the English government had flung open these gates.' According to the Rothschild historian, Niall Ferguson, the meeting at Covent Garden was held to underline the Rothchilds' contributions to the historic breakthrough from which the state of Israel could be traced. [17]
What's more, the English Zionists Federation soon re-interpreted the original letter so that it was entitled 'The Charter of Zionism'. But this letter of support was not a charter. It was not a Magna Carta. This 'breakthrough', this 'Jewish Charter' [18] contained a delicate and labyrinthine conundrum. How could any Power which claimed to have gone to war to protect the rights of small self-determining nations bring a non-existent 'country' to an international conference and claim it had greater rights to recognition than others? The first step was the British government's Declaration of intent to support the establishment of a 'homeland'. An outburst of international and orchestrated approval certainly helped. But there had to be a more tangible basis; proof positive that there was a just cause. This was the reason behind the Zionist Commission sent to the 'Holy Land' in 1918 to reassure the Arabs that no-one intended them harm. It aimed to lend credibility to the Zionist claims; give Zionists some right to be heard when the world was redivided at the end of the war. And all of this timely enterprise was orchestrated through the Rothschild influence.
In addition, membership of the Secret Elite began to change in a subtle manner to which Carroll Quigley made no overt reference. Perhaps a better word might be partnership. As economic power increasingly flowed through the Morgan – Rothschild – Rockefeller – Kuhn Lowe axis in the United States, political alliances began to firm around key issues … like Palestine, but why did they go to such extraordinary lengths to realise a mythistory? The Brandeis – Weizmann connection was reflected in the Balfour-Lansing understandings. In other words, the Zionist aims metamorphosed into British and American foreign policy. The Anglo-American Establishment began to slowly readjust its position. In a sense, the drive for one world government moved towards a shared trans-Atlantic agenda that would become clearer in the coming decades. In the new order that lay ahead, would it still be the British elite who were in charge? If so, for how long could that continue?

11. In 1894, Captain Alfred Dreyfus, a Jew, was wrongly convicted by the army of spying for the Germans. His conviction was ridiculous and became a celebrated cause of establishment-based anti-semitism. The scandal split France and made many Jews very angry and uncomfortable with the anti-semitic attitude of their government. After great public protest, Dreyfus was exonerated in 1908.

18. The title 'Charter' appears to have been invented by the English Zionist Federation, whose pamphlet, Great Britain, Palestine and the Jews: Jewry's Celebration of its National Charter, published anonymously after December 1917 repeats the concept of a 'Charter' almost as if it was the Magna Carta, talking of ' a National Charter', 'The Charter of Zionism' and the 'British Charter of Zionism'.

I was looking back at my books I am to review in the coming weeks and realized I had left out an important one!
Wipf and Stock generously sent me Roger Beckwith's The Old Testament Canon of the New Testament Church: And Its Background in Early Judaism. This edition put out by W&S seems to be simply a reprint of the earlier edition originally published by Eerdmans (1986).
I was first recommended this classic by Jack Collins of Covenant Seminary once he knew my area of scholarly interest. Since then I have not had the time to read this book. I look forward to digging into it soon with a review to follow soon after!
Many thanks, Wipf and Stock!

As a parent, you know that your child is prone to having tantrums from time to time; it's a normal part of growing up. However, as your child gets older, you expect that the screaming and crying will end. When your child gets to be a certain age, you may need to find a way to tame their tantrums, which is why in today's post, we will give you a few tips on how to curb your child's habit of throwing tantrums.
At Valley Child Care and Learning Centers, we are proud to provide your child with an environment where they can learn, grow, and explore new things. We offer a variety of curriculums that are tailored to infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, making it easy for you to find a child care center that works with your busy schedule.

Why do Children Have Tantrums?
Before you can find a way to put an end to your little one's tantrums, it's a good idea to have an understanding of why they happen. At different ages, your child's crying and screaming means different things. For example, when your baby is between the ages of one and two, they typically cry and have a "meltdown" when they want something like food or they need to have their diaper changed. Because children at this age don't have the vocabulary to put words to their needs, they resort to crying.
When your child reaches the ages of three and four, however, tantrums are more of a power struggle than a simple expression of their needs. At the age of three or four, your child is aware of what they need and want and can express those needs with words. That being said, if they don't get what they want, that's when they decide to throw a tantrum.
Most parents would agree that when their child throws a tantrum, you don't want to reinforce that bad behavior. Unfortunately, the way that most parents handle the situation when their little one starts to cry and scream is doing the exact opposite. When your child has a meltdown, especially in public, your first instinct is most likely to try and make them stop crying. That being said, in most cases, the reason your toddler is crying and screaming in the first place is because they aren't getting your attention. By turning to your little one and attempting to quiet them, you are unintentionally reinforcing their bad behaviors.
In order to show your child that what they are doing is unacceptable, you need to ignore them. When they cry and scream, they want you to give them attention, therefore, when you completely ignore them, they will realize that throwing a tantrum isn't the way to get your attention. On the other hand, if their tantrum starts to turn violent, you will need to intervene and explain to them that violence is unacceptable. In this situation, you should remove your child from the area and put them in a timeout or take away a privilege.
Nothing is more confusing for a child than when parents and teachers are inconsistent with how they deal with tantrums. Imagine if you were to have a fit and your mom responded by putting you in a time-out, while dad responded by trying to bribe you with ice cream. Not only would the child be completely confused about how the consequences would pan out, but they would also be more likely to have a tantrum with dad because it results in exciting treats.
Do your best to try and keep your responses as consistent as possible. By responding the same way in every situation, your child will come to expect the same response, decreasing the chances that they will have another tantrum in a similar situation. If you really want to ensure that the response will be consistent, talk to your child's teachers and care providers and ask that they respond to your child in the same fashion.
Children can be exhausting, and it's okay to get frustrated and angry about the way that your child is behaving. However, it's important to remember that you are the parent and that you have to keep your emotions in check. Don't let your anger and frustration overcome you, even if your child has been wailing for 15 minutes and you're about to lose it. It's okay to excuse yourself and take some time to collect yourself if necessary.
Tackling tantrums is a struggle, but it's an important part of growing up. Luckily, when you enroll your child at Valley Child Care and Learning Centers, you can rest assured knowing that your child will be in the capable hands of teachers who have years of training. If you want the absolute best for your little one, then you need an environment that promotes early childhood education, growth, and exploration.

Q: Closed form expression for the number of ordered partitions of a list Suppose I have a list $L = [e_1, e_2, \dots, e_n]$ and integer $k \geq 2$. I want to compute the number of ways to partition $L$ into $k$ sublists while maintaining the order of the elements. For example, one such partition would be $L_1 = [e_1]$ and $L_2 = [e_2,\dots,e_n]$ for $k = 2$. I wrote the following Python code to do this for me:
def num_partitions(l, k):
    if k == 1:
        return 1
    else:
        total = 0
        for i in range(1, len(l)):
            total += num_partitions(l[i:], k - 1)
        return total

Is there a closed form expression for this function?

A: This yields to the Stars and Bars technique. We insert separators into $k-1$ of the $n-1$ gaps between list elements. There are $\binom{n-1}{k-1}$ ways to do this.

My estranged daughter turns 19 on 07.09.2012 and have been advised that although the CSA payments should stop on that date, that I could have to pay until her 20th birthday as she is a qualifying child under child benefit rules.
Surely this can't be right as the CSA seem to have two different rules!
One clearly states that CSA paymenst are between 16 – 19 birthday if they are in non advanced education etc but no where does it state that its up to 20 if she signs up to a minimum of 12 hours per week non advanced education course.
However they seem to move the goal posts when you call them as they state that if the other parent still claims child benefit for her then I still have to pay CSA until she is 20!!!
I am so aggreived at this as HMRC Re1198 Maintenance payments document states that "to age 19". So all documentation and other forums i have read state to age 19 but phone call to CSA state that they use the Child Benefit rules!!
There is something clearly wrong here as they are using two separate rules even though the HMRC one is clearly stated in the finance act!
Would you please help me on this one as I want to go back to the CSA with a legitimate answer?
So again no mention of Child Benefit.
Does anyone know when CSA liability ends?
Son now lives with ex so can she claim CSA against me?
The rule change took place on 10/12/2012 so some sites have not been updated yet. Instead of 16 to 19 it now should read 16 to 20.
Child benefit is used by the CSA as a guide as to whether the child still qualifies.
So if your case closed aligned to the nineteenth birthday a new claim can now be made if the child is in non advanced education up to the age of twenty and the PWC is in receipt of child benefit.

Hint: It's all about the magic of roasting.
Open up a can of tomatoes, and you already know what to do next, right? Just throw its contents into the pot and make sauce. Or stew. Etc. But there's way more potential in that trusty can than plain old marinara. If you give those canned tomatoes the roasted-vegetable treatment, they turn from juicy and acidic to luscious, sweet, and caramelized—ready to transform into soup, sauce, sandwich toppings, and more.
Open up a can of whole tomatoes and discard the juice (or save it for another dish). Then cut the tomatoes in half lengthwise and spread them out on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment. Drizzle some olive oil over the tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and add any aromatics you like: Branches of thyme or oregano, whole garlic cloves, canned anchovies, and red-pepper flakes are especially good here. Then roast in a 350F oven, without stirring, until caramelized, about 1 1/4 hours.
Once your tomatoes come out of the oven, they're not just caramelized and concentrated—they're packed with plenty of flavor from the aromatics. That means that all you need to do to turn them into an amazing pasta sauce or the best tomato soup ever is just mash or puree the tomatoes (and add a splash of water or broth if you want to make soup).
Silky, luscious roasted tomatoes are way more seductive than ketchup on a sandwich, and pack even more umami intensity. Use them to up your turkey sandwich game, and you'll never look back. Layer them on toast with slabs of fresh mozzarella. And definitely be sure to tuck them into your next batch of grilled cheese.
Stewed tomatoes are boring. But roasted tomatoes make a brilliant side dish for roast chicken and roasted white fish like cod, adding an intense hit of flavor and juiciness.

Epstein opens up about Red Sox
Mike Fine/GateHouse News Service
The signs of trouble had been there almost from the start of the season. It's just that after their experiences of 2004, the Red Sox front office never thought they'd lead to a complete collapse.
"We knew something wasn't right," former general manager Theo Epstein said. "There were all these little small flare-ups that were happening that led to some meetings, some team meetings. We encouraged (manager Terry Francona) to have a meeting and he did, and it didn't have the effect that it usually had and he was bothered by that. We encouraged the players to have team meetings. They did have multiple (meetings) – one pretty significant one towards the end. We thought that was going to work. It didn't."
Other than his heartfelt full-page newspaper missive to fans shortly after he left for the Chicago Cubs, Epstein hadn't had much to say about the experience of leaving what had been his dream job. Yesterday, in advance of his Hot Stove Cool Music event in Boston tomorrow, he spoke freely to WEEI's John Dennis and Gerry Callahan.
"If we win one or two more games, then no one is looking at September 2011 as this month when an otherwise solid clubhouse became completely dysfunctional and all these accusations (surfaced)," he said. "I'll tell you this: there were other periods that were similar during the last 10 years with the Red Sox. There were periods in 2004 that were just as unproductive and contentious in the clubhouse."
But guess what? We were two and a half games out of the wild card in mid-August of 2004 and we got hot and we went 45-11 down the stretch instead of 11-45 or whatever it was this year, and we ended up toasting those idiosyncrasies and the personalities (as "Idiots") and the extracurricular activities and (they) became a great bunch of guys."
Nevertheless, Epstein ended up leaving in what appeared to be a bail-out, leaving successor Ben Cherington to deal with the mess. But according to Epstein, it wasn't that way at all.
"It wasn't a last-minute decision," he said. "It was something I talked about with these guys all year long. Ben Cherington and I had talked about it for years."
We had so many lunches where I would take him out and say, 'Hey, you're the guy I want to take over and there's a very good chance the end is coming for me.' The last two or three years we got him a lot of experience in those areas so he would be well-rounded. That was not a reaction to what happened in September one bit."
The former GM declined to characterize his free agent signing of Carl Crawford a bust, although he did confirm that owner John Henry was the lone dissenting voice. The signing of pitcher John Lackey, who's now rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, was also brought into question.
"I just think we haven't seen a healthy John Lackey," Epstein said. "We made too much of an assumption he would still pitch up to his capabilities and maybe at some point he would have Tommy John. But the reality was that the elbow wasn't right and it limited his effectiveness. I'm hopeful when he does return from the Tommy John, getting away this year will be good for him, not only physically but mentally. I think he'll come back and the Red Sox will see a much more solid rotation pitcher from him."
The one thing that did really upset Epstein was the treatment received by Francona, who was accused by one anonymous source of having a problem with prescription drugs. Just the fact that he went out on such a sour note after eight strong seasons was troubling.
"You hate to see him end up that way here," Epstein said. "I think this year will be good for Tito. Seeing the game from the press box (as an ESPN analyst) will be good."
Epstein also said that compensation for his departure is still an issue, but he is bound by his agreement with the Red Sox to work it out.

Meet the Newbies to the Westminster Kennel Club
The Coton de Tulear & Wirehaired Vizsla
The Coton de Tulear
The Coton de Tulear is a very hardy small-sized (8 to 13 pounds), long-coated companion. Happy and clownish, the breed is eager to please and very loyal. Meaning "cotton" in French, the Coton de Tulear has a soft, white coat.
The Coton de Tulear dates back around the 15th century in Madagascar, off the coast of eastern Africa. The breed takes its name from the port city of Tulear, where it was especially prevalent in the 1700s. While the exact origins of the Coton are unknown, the breed is said to have survived in packs in the wild, later used for ridding trade ships of unwanted rodents. These happy little dogs were also prized by the Merina nobles for their companionship and pleasant demeanor. Popular with the French who colonized Madagascar, the Coton later became prevalent throughout Europe.
Is this the breed for you? The Coton de Tulear is a happy dog that thrives on human companionship. They are extremely sturdy and versatile, excelling in all types of dog activities, from agility to therapy. The breed gets along well with other dogs, cats, and children provided that proper socialization is given. The breed's long coat requires daily grooming and care. The Coton de Tulear is considered "hypoallergenic" and may be a good breed for allergy sufferers. Read more at moderndogmagazine.com/coton-de-tulear.
The Wirehaired Vizsla
The Wirehaired Vizsla is a versatile, medium-sized hunting dog that possesses an excellent nose for hunting and tracking, as well as a natural point and retrieve. Although similar to the more common smooth-coated Vizsla in many ways, the Wirehaired Vizsla is a distinctly separate breed. The most obvious difference is its one to two-inch long dense wiry coat, which is golden rust in colour to help the dogs blend into dried grasses and brush in the field.
In the 1930s, the hunters and falconers of Hungary wanted to create a breed with the same traits and colour of the Vizsla, but one that could more easily withstand extreme weather and rough field conditions. The plan was to develop a dog with a heavier, sturdier build and wiry coat. To do so, Vizslas were bred to a solid liver German Wirehaired Pointer. The first Wirehaired Vizslas were imported to North America in the early 1970s.
Is this the breed for you? Gentle, outgoing, and friendly, Wirehaired Vizslas make loyal family companions. They are intelligent and trainable for hunting as well as other sports such as agility and obedience. Due to the athletic nature of the Wirehaired Vizsla, regular exercise is a necessity. The breed's wiry coat should be kept in its natural state, with occasional brushing, bathing, and stripping to tidy up. Read more at moderndogmagazine.com/wirehaired-vizsla.

Q: python3.2 - Update clob using cx-oracle I'm migrating some code from perl to Python.
I can read the CLOB I need to update using the code below:
cur.execute("""
SELECT
    , a.Category
    , a.Status
    …
    , c.name
    , a.orig_operator
FROM tables where stuff
""")

for result in cur:
    startTimes = result[18].read( # stringify from lob
    stopTimes = result[19].read()
    lobsterCode = result[17].read()

How can I update one of the CLOB columns?
With Perl I select for UPDATE, get the bin_locator then use ora_lob_write from DBI.
I'm looking for examples showing the Python equivalent.

A: Apologies, I don't have Python 3.2.  This is on Python 2.7.
In Oracle:
scott@XE_11g> CREATE TABLE t (id NUMBER, c CLOB);

Table created.

scott@XE_11g> INSERT INTO t VALUES (1, 'Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.');

1 row created.

scott@XE_11g> INSERT INTO t VALUES (2, q'[You don't know about me without you have read a book by the name of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer; but that ain't no matter.]');

1 row created.

scott@XE_11g> COMMIT;

Commit complete.

scott@XE_11g>

Now, in Python:
import cx_Oracle

connection = cx_Oracle.connect('scott/tiger@XE')
cursor = connection.cursor()
new_clob = cursor.var(cx_Oracle.CLOB)
new_clob.setvalue(0,'It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. ')
key_id = cursor.var(cx_Oracle.NUMBER)
key_id.setvalue(0,2)

cursor.execute("""UPDATE t
                  SET    c = :p_clob
                  WHERE  id = :p_key"""
,              p_clob = new_clob
,              p_key = key_id
               )
connection.commit()

And, back in Oracle again:
scott@XE_11g> SELECT c FROM t WHERE id = 2;

C
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.

scott@XE_11g>

Hope this helps.

Q: How to open Popover manually (Headless UI) Hi im currently running an e-commerce site where i need to open the cart (popover component) manually whenever a person adds something to their cart.
This is the code i have at the moment, but it's not finished. Im using Headless UI from Tailwind.
  export default function Cart() {
  const {isCartOpen, openCart, closeCart} = useCartUI();
  const {lines, totalQuantity} = useCart();

  return (
    <Popover className="ml-4 flow-root text-sm lg:relative lg:ml-8">
      {({open}: {open: boolean}) => {
        if(!open) closeCart();
        return (
          <>
            <Popover.Button
              className={clsx(
                'flex h-[2.4rem] items-center rounded-sm bg-darkGray px-3 py-2 text-sm font-bold duration-150',
                open ? "bg-opacity-20" : "bg-opacity-0 hover:bg-opacity-10",
              )}
            >
              Kurv
              <ChevronDownIcon className={clsx(open && 'rotate-180')} />
            </Popover.Button>

            {isCartOpen && (
              <Popover.Panel static className="absolute inset-x-0 top-16 mt-px bg-white pb-6 shadow-lg sm:px-2 lg:top-full lg:left-auto lg:right-0 lg:mt-3 lg:-mr-1.5 lg:w-80 lg:rounded-lg lg:ring-1 lg:ring-black lg:ring-opacity-5">
                <CartHeader numLines={lines.length} />
                {totalQuantity === 0 ? (
                  <CartEmpty />
                ) : (
                  <>
                    <CartItems />
                    <CartFooter />
                  </>
                )}
              </Popover.Panel>
            )}
          </>
        )
      }}
    </Popover>
  );
}

A: I was just looking for a similar answer. If you haven't solved it, and are still interested, I found a solution.
You can use the static prop on the popover to always display it and use your own state, or the popover's internal state, to conditionally display its contents.
Here's an example https://codesandbox.io/s/d8llw?file=/src/App.js:600-609. You can find information on the static prop here: https://headlessui.com/react/popover#showing-hiding-the-popover

An Unsung Hero
The Battle of St. Julien (2nd Battle of Ypres 24 April 1915 to 4 May 1915)
In April 1915 the weather in Ypres, Belgium was cold, wet and thoroughly miserable. The last week of that month saw a ferocious battle for possession of the town which has become known as the Second Battle of Ypres. It was fought at four separate locations including the little village of St. Julien. This was a village which was held at the beginning of the battle by Canadian and French troops. At St. Julien the battle raged between 24 April 1915 and the 5 May 1915. It was a battle which saw the first German use of gas as a weapon of war and the Allied soldiers that fought in it did so fighting not only the weather, the gas but also constant machine gun and artillery fire.
It was into this battle that the East Yorkshire Regiment was thrust despite having only arrived in Belgium on 17 April 1915. Amongst their number was their Second in Command, a 33 year old Captain called Bede Farrell and his younger brother Adrian. Both were the sons of Thomas Farrell, a Partner in this firm (then known as "Rollit & Co"). Bede, himself, had been an Articled Clerk and later a Partner in this firm between 1910 until late 1913 when he left and formed his own firm. It was a short lived venture as within a year he closed it down to volunteer for the Regular Army (he had been a Territorial Army Officer since 1900 when he was 19). In April 1915 Bede was Second in Command of a battalion of 229 men (including his brother) of the East Yorkshire Regiment.
Upon their arrival in Belgium the East Yorkshires were to be stationed at what were, until 24 April 1915, reserve trenches at the village of St. Julien. On 23 April 1915 Bede's battalion spent the evening trying to get some sleep in huts about one and a half miles from Ypres. Sleep, however, is difficult when it is freezing cold and artillery shells are exploding all around you. In any event their sleep was interrupted at 2.00 am on the morning of 24 April 1915 when they received the order to go forward to the reserve trenches at the village of St. Julien. Upon their arrival (at about 3.15 am) they were ordered to dig themselves in. This involved each man digging a hole deep enough to stand in and then digging sideways to join up with holes dug by their mates. In this way a trench was created. This task was undertaken in the terrifying circumstances of shrapnel exploding only a few yards away.
Luck was certainly not with Bede's battalion as it was this day the Germans decided to launch an attack on the village of St. Julien beginning with a gas attack and following it up with ferocious artillery and machine gun fire.
At 10.30 that morning Bede's battalion was ordered to leave its recently dug trench and advance and again dig themselves another trench. Having done so they then spent that day avoiding the shrapnel which was exploding all around them. At 4.00 o'clock in the afternoon Bede's battalion got its order to "go over the top" and attack the Germans. Despite knowing the chances of survival or avoiding serious injury were slim Bede and the rest of his battalion went "over the top" and attacked the Germans facing up to terrific artillery and machine gun fire. As might be anticipated the battalion suffered heavy losses with many men killed and wounded. Sadly amongst those killed was Bede who was reported to have been shot in the heart as he led his men towards the German lines. Tragically also a little over a week later on 3 May 1915 his younger brother Adrian was also badly wounded. Whilst he survived the battle he died of his wounds a year later.
The efforts of the East Yorkshire Regiment and the other Allied troops involved in the battle were not in vain as they helped not only rescue Canadian and French soldiers who occupying the front line had been the first to face the German bombardment of gas and artillery, they also successfully defended the town of Ypres which remained in control of the Allies.
Bede has no known grave and is remembered only by the inscription of his name on the Menin Gate War Memorial.
Our firm will this year celebrate its 175th birthday. In doing so we should not forget that the last 100 years of our firm's existence and ability to practice law to serve the people and businesses of Hull, East and North Yorkshire and beyond was bought by the courage and sacrifice of thousands of soldiers like Bede Farrell, his brother Adrian and, of course, parents such as this firm's partner Thomas Farrell and his wife.

Hello friends! Today I have another lipstick to share with you from tarte's Rainforest of the Sea Collection! tarte's Rainforest of the Sea Drench Lip Splash Lipstick in Firework* ($26 CAD/0.085 oz) is a beautiful bold red with a satin-matte finish. These lipsticks are all vegan, and tarte is a cruelty free company!
Look at that beautiful packaging! The gold and purple ombré effect is gorgeous, as is the rest of the packaging from the entire Rainforest of the Sea Collection. While the packaging is quite pretty, I do find the plastic tube to feel a bit cheap and flimsy. The Drench Lip Splash Lipstick has a slanted tip, which makes applications pretty easy. However, this formula is pretty pigmented, so you might want to use a lip brush for the best look.
I have a feeling that Firework will be my Canada Day lipstick this year! It's bold, beautiful, yet still quite wearable. I really enjoy rocking a red lip, especially for a night out. There's something about a red lip that just exudes confidence! This lipstick seems to be quite small, almost like a sample sized lipstick. I know most people don't go through lipsticks all that quickly, it's definitely something to keep in mind, especially considering the higher price point. This formula is really creamy and comfortable to wear, and I only need to touch up my lipstick every few hours. This formula isn't transfer proof, so do keep that in mind when eating, drinking, kissing, etc.
Have you checked out tarte's Rainforest of the Sea Collection yet? Do you also love rocking a red lip?
Beautiful! I like the packaging as well, like you said haha.
OMG I LOVE YOUR NEW BANNER!!!!!! the paul & joe lippie so pretty!!!
Ya I haven't had an issue with any of mine breaking! Were yours maybe melting a bit?

(CNN) -- Elon Musk's Space X intentionally blew up a rocket as it successfully passed a critical test to fly people to space. Sunday's test simulated a situation where the launch was cut short, triggering the Crew Dragon spacecraft to separate from the rocket.
The spacecraft then moved itself away from the rocket, then used parachutes to safely get back to Earth.


It's a shame when inspiration strikes in the middle of a twenty-comment thread that has long since lost its thread.

honey, mine was a veiled scarastic reply to "KDD soreness" you two going off into marital bliss while I... blissed singularly - by choice.
My line is pretty far out there - difficult to find much less cross. no worries.
But I really was SORE! Still am as a matter of fact. Yummmm.
I have no problem with sharing so long as everything is returned in good working condition.

Hotel employee escapes would-be robber, police say
Rose Velazquez
Police are looking for a suspect they say tried to rob a Salisbury Best Western during the weekend.
Officers responded to the Best Western on North Salisbury Boulevard at about 8 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 7 for a report of an attempted robbery, Salisbury Police Capt. Rich Kaiser said during Tuesday's weekly briefing.
"The investigation revealed that a sole male suspect had entered the business through the front door," he said. "He immediately approached the counter as well as the sole employee that was working and demanded money."
The man implied he had a gun, Kaiser said, but never actually displayed one.

He said the employee was able to get to a back room to call 911 and locked the door while awaiting officers' arrival.
The suspect fled the scene on foot before police made it to the scene, Kaiser said, but investigators were able to obtain images of the man from the hotel's surveillance video.
He is about 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs about 200 pounds, and was wearing a gray zip-up jacket, gray sweatpants, a black scarf and black gloves, Kaiser said.
The suspect also had a yellow bag with him for the money, Kaiser said, which was left at the scene.
Anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to contact the Salisbury Police Department at 410-548-3165 or Crime Solvers at 410-548-1776.
