In April, financial services entrepreneur Peter Mullin opened the Mullin Automotive Museum in Oxnard, Calif., to showcase his collection of more than 100 pre–World War II Bugattis, Delahayes, Talbot-Lagos, and other fine and rare vehicles. For Mullin, cofounder and chairman of M Financial and M Life, sharing his automobiles with the public is a natural extension of his longtime practice of sharing his success. The 69-year-old Los Angeles native's many philanthropic undertakings include spearheading fund-raising efforts for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles—for which he has helped raise $100 million to provide scholarships to inner-city children—and for the city's Music Center Foundation. Mullin and his wife, Merle, also follow their passions in the business world, as evidenced by the pet projects they are cultivating at their vacation villa in Umbria, Italy. —Bailey S. Barnard

Forget a Pilot House. This 160-Foot Superyacht Concept Can Be Helmed by a VTOL Aircraft Hovering Above.
What are you working on in Umbria?
My wife tells me that I've never met a business I didn't like. At our villa, we make wine, olive oil, and honey, and raise a special breed of black pigs for making prosciutto. We grow a range of wine varietals there. Right at the house we have Merlot, and at another vineyard close by we have Sangiovese, Sagrantino, and Shiraz. But the one we've been making the longest and that I've had the most opportunity to test and enjoy is Merlot, which is a French Merlot.
You also love French cars.
I've loved cars since I was a boy, but the French cars of the late '20s and '30s were the apex of sculptural design, engineering, and performance. I don't think it ever got any better than that.
Do you collect anything other than cars?
Merle and I primarily collect everything to do with the Art Deco period, so it's furniture, glassware, sculpture, lighting, paintings, and all those things that speak of the tremendous breakthrough of design and innovation that surrounded the Art Deco movement—the idea of taking industrial things and turning them into beauty. People don't realize it, but the automobile was kind of at the epicenter of Art Deco.
Do you have a favorite car in your collection?
I do, actually: the 1938 Talbot-Lago Teardrop designed by Figoni and Falaschi. It's the ultimate in design and performance, and has absolutely the most beautiful sculptural shape. Almost all cars, no matter how beautiful they are, have an awkward angle, but this car has no bad angle, and its 4-liter engine has racing history, so it's a combination of everything elegant about the Art Deco period.
You also race your cars.
Racing is certainly a passion. I guess for me it's a combination of speed, handling the car, seeing what it can do, and being as precise as the car was made to be. It's a rewarding experience all the way around, and also a great focusing device. If your mind wanders while you're racing, you might be wandering right off the track.
Have you had any crashes?
No crashes on the track. The people who are involved in vintage racing are driving precious things. They know they're never going to give up their day jobs to become professional racecar drivers, so they're really out there just to enjoy and experience the car. I would say most of vintage racing is pretty gentlemanly.
What does it mean to live well?
If you're blessed enough to enjoy a good life, it's really not about how much you make but what you do with it. So, as you can tell by looking at the things I'm involved in, I very much believe that good news keeps coming your way if you know what to do with it, which means to give it back.

Former Ghana President, Jerry Rawlings Is Dead
in Best of Africa, Featured, Politics, Shocking
PH November 12, 2020, 12:53 pm
Former Ghanaian President, Jerry John Rawlings is dead. He passed on, today, November 12, 2020, after a brief illness.
HowAfrica gathered that the ex-president died at Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra, capital of Ghana, on Thursday morning.
He had recently buried his mother, Victoria Agbotui, at Dzelukope in the Volta Region on October 24, 2020.
She died at 101 on September 24, 2020.
Shortly after the burial, Rawlings fell seriously ill and was hospitalised after showing symptoms of COVID-19.
HowAfrica understands that he also had underlying illnesses.
A flight lieutenant of the Ghanaian Air Force, Rawlings first staged military coup as a young revolutionary on May 15, 1979, five weeks before scheduled elections to return the country to civilian rule.
When the coup failed, he was imprisoned, publicly court-martialed and sentenced to death.
From prison, he plotted another coup and took back control of the country on December 31, 1981 and became chairman of the Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC).
He resigned from the military, founded the National Democratic Congress (NDC), and became the first president of the Fourth Republic in 1992.
He was re-elected in 1996 for four more years. After two terms in office, the limit according to the Ghanaian constitution, Rawlings endorsed his vice-president John Atta Mills as presidential candidate in 2000.
He was born on June 22, 1947.

These Are The 4 African Women Leaders To Have Addressed The UN General Assembly


Agent Chad Speck of Allegiant Athletic Agency tweeted this morning that the Falcons had informed him that they would be releasing his client, offensive tackle Tyson Clabo. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the move will be designated a post-June 1 release to clear more cap space.
Clabo had three years left on his contract, and was set to count $6.05 million against this year's salary cap. He received a $4 million signing bonus as part of the five-year deal he signed back in the summer of 2011, as well as a $3 million option bonus that was paid last year. The remaining prorated part of his signing bonus counts $800,000 per season, while the option bonus was prorated over four years at $750,000 per season. Due to the post-June 1 designation, only one-year's worth of bonus will be accelerated to this year's cap as dead money, meaning the Falcons will only have to carry $1.55 million and save $4.5 million against the 2013 cap. The remainder of the accelerated unpaid bonus ($3.1 million) will count as dead money towards the 2014 cap next year.
With Clabo departing, 2012 third round pick Lamar Holmes and 2010 third round pick Mike Johnson become the most likely candidates to serve as his successor. Johnson took over for an injured Will Svitek last year as the team's swing tackle and top reserve at the position. Holmes got limited reps after missing part of the off-season with a foot injury.
Clabo first entered the league in 2004 as an undrafted free agent with the Denver Broncos out of Wake Forest. He spent time on the practice squads of the Broncos, New York Giants, and San Diego Chargers as a rookie. When cut by the Broncos at the outset of the 2005 season, he was added to the Falcons practice squad before making the team outright in 2006. That year, he started 10 games predominantly at right guard as an injury replacement for Kynan Forney. The following season in 2007, he started 11 games at right tackle as an injury replacement for Todd Weiner. He would land the full-time starting right tackle gig in 2008 with the arrival of Mike Smith, as Weiner moved to fill in at left tackle. Since 2008, Clabo has not missed a game at the position in five seasons. Dating back to 2007, he has made 91 consecutive starts at the position. In 2010, his performance led to him being voted to the Pro Bowl as an injury replacement.

DAY 24: Abortion Workers and You - 40 Days for Life
by Shawn Carney, 40 Days for Life: As we get into the second half of the campaign, two groups of people are being challenged — those who have thought about praying at a vigil but haven't done so yet ... and abortion workers who have — for the first time — begun to question their jobs.
We've seen 104 abortion workers have a change of heart and resign during 40 Days for Life campaigns ... and most of them do so in the last half of the campaign. They may brush off or even mock the peaceful vigil outside their workplace at first, but over time they begin to turn their attention to the work going on inside their building.
God uses your peaceful presence to save lives ... and touch the hearts of those who work in the abortion industry. If you have considered going out to pray but haven't done so, there is still time ... and that time can have a huge impact on abortion in your community!
Find the 40 Days for Life location nearest you. God answers prayers! Here are a few examples.
"We had a save today!" said Rita in Little Rock.
A young girl came with her boyfriend to have an ultrasound. She went inside while he went to park the car. As he walked to the building, the volunteers told him about the pregnancy resource center.
"He said he would go in and tell her about it," she said. The woman came out a few minutes later. "We told her that we could get her a free ultrasound and we walked her to the pregnancy resource center."
She later got back in touch with the vigil participants and told them she is keeping her baby.
Rita said later that same day, there was more good news. "Another lady changed her mind … she said she couldn't go through with it." She left the abortion center and did not return.
Columbia, Missouri
Planned Parenthood in Columbia is no longer doing abortions – but they're certainly referring women to other locations that perform them. So there's still a reason to pray on the sidewalk outside.
"It appeared that several women were there for abortion counseling," said Kathy, the Columbia leader. "Please pray for these women, especially the ones who refused our information and rushed out of the driveway."
Prayer volunteers did succeed in convincing a couple of women to visit the local pregnancy help center for life-affirming assistance.
Kathy said there was one busy day at Planned Parenthood recently, but on many days, business is off. "And only three workers were there – down from six. One has to wonder, what is going on?"
An empty parking lot is always good news. "Keep praying for this clinic to close," she said. "When clinics close, babies are saved."
A determined group of volunteers stood outside Planned Parenthood on a very rainy night in Cincinnati, as Archbishop Dennis Schnurr led them in prayer. "The archbishop commented on how we are witnesses for life … and making a difference," said Theresa in Cincinnati.
With so much rain in the forecast, the Cincinnati team said it was uncertain whether anyone would actually go out that night – but the leaders really appreciated their perseverance.
"Let us continue during these 40 Days for Life with prayer, fasting and community outreach to end abortion," Theresa said.

causes to the Wars of the Roses.
There is some discussion about the correct dating of this letter in Maurer, Margaret of Anjou, as well as in Hicks,Warwick the Kingmaker. The latter attributes the letter to 1459 and the former to 1454. While I'm aware that this might just be interpreted as sedition at the best, and the repudiation of one of my favourite historians at worst, I think Maurer's probably right.
The meat of the letter is contained in a mere 145 word towards the end: someone has accused the duke of York and the earls of Salisbury and Warwick of making accusations against others of high estate. While this may be a reference to the rumours of the bastardy of prince Edward, Maurer thinks the defence a bit light for such a serious charge. Whatever it is, Salisbury states that he is certainly not guilty, nor York and Warwick so far as he knows, which they will say for themselves if required.


"She may not look it, but actually she's really sad that you're leaving," said the girl's mother.
I knelt down to look into the face of one of my favorite kindergarten students. A shy, sensitive girl of six, she spoke perfect English and had a penchant for embellishing her handwriting with cute little curlicues. I had noticed this and taught her to write in cursive, something none of the other kids learned. We enjoyed goofing off together and had developed a special bond.
I hugged her and almost wanted to cry. Was I breaking this poor little girl's heart? But no, she was good and smart and talented and had a wonderful mother– she would be fine and go on with her life and probably soon forget about me, her kindergarten teacher. And I had to do the right thing for myself, right?
I slid my feet into the old leather shoes one last time. I knew I would have to get rid of them, because the right one had a little hole in its toe that let the rain in, and the soles were worn so thin that I could almost feel the pavement directly on my feet. But I had grown attached to those shoes. People often complimented me on their unique style, and the wear on the leather almost made them look better, as if they'd been made with an intentional "worn" look. They looked like they had been some places. They'd seen some things, man.
But what had they seen, really? I found myself thinking about it as I stepped outside in them, feeling the now familiar bit of leather insole curling up against my toes on the right side. I walked down the drab gray stairwell of my apartment building, onto the sidewalk past vending machines and convenience stores in the artificial glow of neon signs, and I thought, what have I done in these shoes?
I have a problem, and it's all your fault.
You see, before I decided to join the Polyglot Gathering in Berlin this year, I thought I finally had my life all figured out. I had immersed myself in making music, and it felt so right that I was sure I had found my "one true calling". Finally, I thought, I could stop this confusing lifestyle of endless wandering and indecisiveness, and dedicate myself to one thing like normal people do. But oh no, you had to come along and tempt me by scheduling your gathering of language geeks right when I happened to have my spring vacation. How could I not go? I even had some frequent flyer miles saved up.
And since I was going to Berlin, of course I had to learn some German. It had been quite a while since I'd seriously studied a language and I honestly wasn't sure if I'd be into it, but after going through a few online lessons I was surprised to find myself hooked. Soon I had bought textbooks and was spending all my spare time studying German, my musical instruments forgotten and gathering dust in their lonely corner of my apartment.


PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti ‹ The sudden, powerful storm that ripped through Haiti's battered capital destroyed thousands of tents in the homeless camps where more than 1.3 million people live eight months after the earthquake destroyed their homes, shelter officials said Saturday.
The death toll from Friday afternoon's storm stood at six people, with nearly 8,000 tents damaged or destroyed, according to a statement from the United Nation's International Organization for Migration. The organization said it had distributed 5,000 tarps.
Earlier, Civil Protection chief Marie Alta Jean-Baptiste told The Associated Press that the dead included two children and hundreds of people were reported with varying degrees of injury.
The storm's effect was exacerbated by the flimsiness of tarps and tents that have been baking, soaking and flapping in the Caribbean elements since the Jan. 12 earthquake killed at least 230,000 people and left millions homeless. Hundreds of thousands of families continue living on the streets of the capital waiting for temporary housing or money to find new apartments.
"Many of the tents that were destroyed had reached their end of lifespan," said Gerhard Tauscher, shelter cluster coordinator for the International Federation of the Red Cross.
Reconstruction has barely begun despite billions of dollars pledged for Haiti in the wake of the disaster. Less than 15 percent of money promised at the U.N. donor's conference in March 2has been delivered. The United States, which spent more than $1.1 billion in humanitarian aid after the quake, has not delivered any of its promised long-term funds.
Wood and metal temporary shelters fared much better in the storm, suffering minimal damage. But few of the earthquake homeless have those.
Instead they continue living in tarps and tents, sometimes reinforced with metal or wood. As many as 10 percent of such shelters were destroyed in some areas of the capital by the sudden squall, with damage concentrated in central urban areas, Tauscher said.
Camp-management facilities including office tents, clinics and childcare spaces were shredded, especially in camps perched on the steep hillsides between downtown Port-au-Prince and the suburb of Petionville.
"(Our) infrastructure has been ripped up: the house, the office, child-friendly spaces. The clinic held up pretty well and there wasn't any one person hurt. But trees fell and the place looks an absolute mess," said Emmett Fitzgerald of the American Refugee Council, who manages the 26,000-person camp at Terrain Acra.
Sean Penn's J/P Haiti Relief Organization also suffered damage to its administrative and clinic tents at the Petionville country club golf-course camp home to tens of thousands of quake homeless.
There was less damage to the north of the city at the Corail-Cesselesse camp, where residents used tools to drain water away from tents and shore up sagging homes with help from international aid and security teams, manager Bryant Castro said.
The storm was not part of any tropical system but rather a standard early-fall Caribbean storm caused by cold and dry conditions in the upper atmosphere, U.S. National Hurricane Center senior specialist Stacy Stewart told AP.
Windspeed and rainfall data were not immediately available. Based on the reports of uprooted trees and damaged tents, Stewart estimated winds might have reached 60 mph (100 kph) ‹ a violent storm, but far below hurricane strength.
Haiti has not suffered a direct hit from a hurricane or tropical storm this year, but months of hurricane season remain. Forecasters are watching the remnants of Tropical Storm Matthew off the coast of Central America, which could transform into a "monsoon low" and threaten the Western Caribbean next week.
The impoverished nation was extremely vulnerable to damage from passing storms even before the quake. Port-au-Prince's Cite Soleil slum was flooded by rains in 2007. In 2008, four named storms struck in the space of a month, killing nearly 800 people and plunging the coastal city of Gonaives under water for weeks.

Pam Davey, who, along with her husband Richard submitted the petition, says a variety of issues occurred while he worked in the public works department over the span of a year and a half.
She categorized the concerns into three issues; damaging equipment, money mis-handling and safety issues.
It appears the investigation will cost from $30,000 to $50,000 for Alberta Municipal Affairs or a private company to deal with but Davey feels that cost is a result of council ignoring the issue.
Davey says council has not listened to residents' concerns and they are getting tired of being brushed aside.
"I can't answer to that, I've never heard that," said Mayor Joan Dickau, who added council will deal with the situation properly.
Davey however, has not been pleased with the way the situation has been handled and that is precisely why the petition was put together. Davey says she tried to deal with the situation without resorting to a petition first.
Davey also called into question the confusion council had with "alleged abuses." She says there is no way council couldn't understand the issues.
One letter submitted to council, outlined 10 specific issues, from setting off pop bottle bombs during work hours to intentionally driving into outhouses with work vehicles.
"I was told I drive the town equipment too cautiously and was encouraged to be more aggressive with it. I was told not to worry about breaking it," said Richard in the Nov. 6, 2009 letter.
Davey was also frustrated by any notion that petitioners were mislead.
The Daveys moved to Bentley from Red Deer and planned to spend their lives in the small community but have been frustrated with a number of issues.
While she implores town council to listen to the concerns of the public, Davey just wants the issue at hand to be dealt with.

Remembering: Voices of the Holocaust: A New History in the Words of the Men and Women Who Survived
por Lyn Smith
A landmark achievement in Holocaust scholarship, Remembering Voices of the Holocaust is culled from hours of first person accounts from survivors recorded for inclusion in the sound archives of both the Imperial War Museum in London, and the National Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC. In their own words, Jewish survivors as well as Gypsies, Jehovah's Witnesses, and both perpetrators and ordinary observers recount the entire horrific arc of the Holocaust from the ominous rise of the Nazi see more party during the Weimar days through the liquidation of the ghettos and the institution of Hitler's "final solution," continuing on to the liberation of the camps and the harrowing aftermath of the War.

Why?: Explaining the Holocaust
por Peter Hayes
A bold new exploration that answers the most commonly asked questions about the Holocaust. Despite the outpouring of books, movies, museums, memorials, and courses devoted to the Holocaust, a coherent explanation of why such ghastly carnage erupted from the heart of civilized Europe in the twentieth century still seems elusive even seventy years later. Numerous theories have sprouted in an attempt to console ourselves and to point the blame in emotionally satisfying directions—yet none of see more them are fully convincing. As witnesses to the Holocaust near the ends of their lives, it becomes that much more important to unravel what happened and to educate a new generation about the horrors inflicted by the Nazi regime on Jews and non-Jews alike.
Why? dispels many misconceptions and answers some of the most basic—yet vexing—questions that remain: why the Jews and not another ethnic group? Why the Germans? Why such a swift and sweeping extermination? Why didn't more Jews fight back more often? Why didn't they receive more help? While responding to the questions he has been most frequently asked by students over the decades, world-renowned Holocaust historian and professor Peter Hayes brings a wealth of scholarly research and experience to bear on conventional, popular views of the history, challenging some of the most prominent recent interpretations. He argues that there is no single theory that "explains" the Holocaust; the convergence of multiple forces at a particular moment in time led to catastrophe.
In clear prose informed by an encyclopedic knowledge of Holocaust literature in English and German, Hayes weaves together stories and statistics to heart-stopping effect. Why? is an authoritative, groundbreaking exploration of the origins of one of the most tragic events in human history.
Survivors: True Stories of Children in the Holocaust
por Allan Zullo
Gripping and inspiring, these true stories of bravery, terror, and hope chronicle nine different children's experiences during the Holocaust.These are the true-life accounts of nine Jewish boys and girls whose lives spiraled into danger and fear as the Holocaust overtook Europe. In a time of great horror, these children each found a way to make it through the nightmare of war. Some made daring escapes into the unknown, others disguised their true identities, and many witnessed unimaginable see more horrors. But what they all shared was the unshakable belief in-- and hope for-- survival. Their legacy of courage in the face of hatred will move you, captivate you, and, ultimately, inspire you.
Heroes of the Holocaust: Ordinary Britons who risked their lives to make a difference
Collected here for the first time are the remarkable and moving stories of the 27 British recipients of the 'Hero of the Holocaust' award. During one of the darkest times in human history they refused to stand by and do nothing; risking their lives to save Jewish friends, or complete strangers. And yet many of their stories have been forgotten.
Frank Foley, a British spy whose cover was working at the British embassy in Berlin, took huge risks issuing forged visas to enable around see more 10,000 Jews to escape Germany before the outbreak of war.
Jane Haining refused to come back to Scotland and leave the Jewish orphans in her care in Hungary. When they were sent to Auschwitz she was transported with them.
Louise and Ida Cook were sisters from suburban London. They used their love of opera as a cover to take daring trips to help Jews escape Nazi Germany and Austria right up until the outbreak of war.
Ten British POWs hid and cared for young Hannah Sarah Rigler when she escaped from a death march, having been forced to leave her mother behind.
All those whose stories are collected here were ordinary people, acting on no one's authority but their own, who found they could not stand idly by in the face of such great evil.
Written by acclaimed Holocaust historian Lyn Smith, Heroes of the Holocaust is a moving testament to the bravery of those whose inspiring actions stand out in stark relief at a time of such horror.
Hitler and the Holocaust
Hitler and the Holocaust is the product of a lifetime's work by one of the world's foremost authorities on the history of anti-Semitism and modern Jewry. Robert S. Wistrich begins by reckoning with Europe's long history of violence against the Jews, and how that tradition manifested itself in Germany and Austria in the early twentieth century. He looks at the forces that shaped Hitler's belief in a "Jewish menace" that must be eradicated, and the process by which, once Hitler see more gained power, the Nazi regime tightened the noose around Germany's Jews. He deals with many crucial questions, such as when Hitler's plans for mass genocide were finalized, the relationship between the Holocaust and the larger war, and the mechanism of authority by which power–and guilt–flowed out from the Nazi inner circle to "ordinary Germans," and other Europeans. He explains the infernal workings of the death machine, the nature of Jewish and other resistance, and the sad story of collaboration and indifference across Europe and America, and in the Church. Finally, Wistrich discusses the abiding legacy of the Nazi genocide, and the lessons that must be drawn from it. A work of commanding authority and insight, Hitler and the Holocaust is an indelible contribution to the literature of history.
The Holocaust: History in an Hour
por Jemma J. Saunders
Love history? Know your stuff with History in an Hour. The Holocaust, in which 11 million people died, was the largest atrocity of the 20th century and perhaps the hardest to understand. Approximately 6 million Jews and 5 million others including Roma people, Poles, Russian prisoners of war, political prisoners, homosexuals, people of colour, Jehovah's Witnesses, and various other minorities were first persecuted and then murdered.
How, both morally and logistically, had this came to see more happen? From received sentiments of anti-Semitism at the beginning of the 20th century, through the rise of Hitler and the Nazi party, to the Nuremberg Laws of 1935 and finally Second World War, the victimisation of these minorities intensified beyond precedent. With the complicity of a nation hatred became policy. Under the control of sadists, bureaucrats and even ordinary soldiers, irrational acts were then enacted on an industrial scale, and with the use of concentration camps, Western Europe witnessed its most shocking treatment of humanity in modern history.

Hitler's War and the Horrific Account of the Holocaust
por Scott S. F. Meaker
Please Note: Hitler's War and the Horrific Account of the Holocaust is a short book.
The Holocaust remains as a reference to the destruction of about six million Jews. The collection of undesirables began in 1933 with the construction of the first concentration camp. As Hitler's power grew, he rounded up others that he considered undesirable. Hitler had come into power and the slow destruction of Jews was put into place. In 1942, about a million Jews had already been killed. see more Execution was just one cause of death. Two and a half million have been gassed and a half million starved to death. Typhus outbreak killed many others. After the Allied victory, Germany was in chaos.
This book is an effort to look at the type of situation that would allow a civilized country to let the Holocaust to take place.
This is a Second World War, Hitler, Holocaust / military book. Military science, world war two, European history.

The Holocaust: The Human Tragedy
por Martin Gilbert
The renowned historian weaves a definitive account of the Holocaust—from Hitler's rise to power to the final defeat of the Nazis in 1945.
Rich with eyewitness accounts, incisive interviews, and first-hand source materials—including documentation from the Eichmann and Nuremberg war crime trials—this sweeping narrative begins with an in-depth historical analysis of the origins of anti-Semitism in Europe, and tracks the systematic brutality of Hitler's "Final Solution" in see more unflinching detail. It brings to light new source materials documenting Mengele's diabolical concentration camp experiments and documents the activities of Himmler, Eichmann, and other Nazi leaders. It also demonstrates comprehensive evidence of Jewish resistance and the heroic efforts of Gentiles to aid and shelter Jews and others targeted for extermination, even at the risk of their own lives.
Combining survivor testimonies, deft historical analysis, and painstaking research, The Holocaust is without doubt a masterwork of World War II history.
"A fascinating work that overwhelms us with its truth . . . This book must be read and reread." —Elie Wiesel, Nobel Peace Prizing–winning author of Night
The Holocaust: A New History
por Laurence Rees
n June 1944, Freda Wineman and her family arrived at Auschwitz-Birkenau, the infamous Nazi concentration and death camp. After a cursory look from an SS doctor, Freda's life was spared and her mother was sent to the gas chambers. Freda only survived because the Allies won the war -- the Nazis ultimately wanted every Jew to die. Her mother was one of millions who lost their lives because of a racist regime that believed that some human beings simply did not deserve to live -- not because of see more what they had done, but because of who they were.
Laurence Rees has spent twenty-five years meeting the survivors and perpetrators of the Third Reich and the Holocaust. In this sweeping history, he combines this testimony with the latest academic research to investigate how history's greatest crime was possible. Rees argues that while hatred of the Jews was at the epicenter of Nazi thinking, we cannot fully understand the Holocaust without considering Nazi plans to kill millions of non-Jews as well. He also reveals that there was no single overarching blueprint for the Holocaust. Instead, a series of escalations compounded into the horror. Though Hitler was most responsible for what happened, the blame is widespread, Rees reminds us, and the effects are enduring.
The Holocaust: A New History is an accessible yet authoritative account of this terrible crime. A chronological, intensely readable narrative, this is a compelling exposition of humanity's darkest moment.

do you guys know when this deal ends?
This one has been hanging around for a really long time. It reminds me of the United Airlines flights to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam last year. They were incredibly cheap ($600s) and stuck around for a long, long time.
But like all airfares, they can change suddenly without notice. There isn't a defined end date.

Well, as promised, the Phunkie Project Portafold thread.
Collected the Portafold from Kidderminster on a Friday in late July. This is it as it arrived.
The following day it was inspected, to see what was required to get back to a good working caravan. Unfortunately, due to repairs to be done, it will require a full restoration!!
So now we need to strip it down. First to remove the roof. The outside has many spiders in the fibreglass, there is a huge sag in the rear of the roof and inside it has some coating that has started to peal off.
Now the roof is off, the ends are removed by drilling out the rivets from the hinges.
The same with the sides, after removing the strip of sealing tape.
We're leaving all the parts on the ends and sides until they are stripped to repair.
All the lights and fittings era removed from the main body.
Now what is left is wheeled outside and raised using the jacks, all the chassis mounting bolts are cut/ground (far too rusted using spanners/sockets) and the chassis removed.
At this point the main body was turned on it's side and the jacks removed, using the same method as the chassis bolts.
OK, the Portafold is now just a selection of parts as it would have been back in 1970, when it was assembled by, possibly a guy called S.Challoner, at the factory. On a lot of the construction of this type back then, the builder used to sign their names somewhere.
It's now close of play on Saturday, a good days work. Oh, I'd better put the hinges in a bucket of penetrating oil to soak.
Next time, it'll be time to work on the chassis and jacks.
OK, so before I start on the metal bits, I cleaned and pressure washed off the underside of the main body to see what repairs are to be done on the underside.
Now the thing is clean it's apparent that there a large number (23) of "drainage" holes, that have been drilled in the main body floor, to be filled/repaired.
Also there's damage on the front on the nearside from a reversing "jack-knife".
Along the top side edges of the main body, where in production extra gelcoat was painted over the original due to the mould in that area being damaged and worn. This now peeling off.
There is an inherent fault in the shape of the storage bin holes, in that the holes are cut square which results in cracks radiating from these corners. Whenever square openings are cut, in just about any material, the corners need to be radiused. This spreads the load all round the corner, is general engineering practice and would have alleviated the problem we have here. Every single opening in this Portafold is the same and all require attention.
Some of the strengthening under the seating areas has deteriorated badly resulting in large cracks and sagging of the seats.
All the holes in the main body floor are sanded on the inside and fibreglass mat and resin are laid on to seal the holes from the inside. The split at the front is sand inside and glassed over.
The front mount to the chassis strengthening panel (wood) has collapsed on one side and the layers of mat are secured to nothing.
This is cleaned up and mat and resin layered up over the wood an finally over the whole area making sure that it extends at least a couple of inches out side of the wood.
In between repairing the body items, due to the drying times of the fibreglass, I will be looking at the chassis and jacks.
First the chassis and brakes. With the brake drums removed, the shoes are checked for wear and cleaned with emery paper. The drums are also cleaned, on the braking surface with emery.
As every thing in here is serviceable the drums are refitted.
and just requires a sanding down and a repaint with chassis paint.
So onto the jacks. This shows two jacks, but the same process is carried out on the other two.
Strip these completely, removing the fixings.
and fitted with countersunk bolts, tack welding to secure and grinding clean.
All parts are then cleaned, sanded and painted with chassis paint.
Whilst waiting for fibreglass to "go off" I put the handles on the polishing mop and also the front roof positioning brackets.
So now, back to the main body and strengthening the seating areas and radiusing the corners of the storage bins.
The strengthening of the seating areas is achieved by glassing "D" shaped "rope" within the layup.
Unfortunately the resin has deteriorated to such an extent that there is no support at all. Added to this is the fact that the strengthening is not long enough, stopping level with the edge of the storage bin holes. This results in more strain in the badly engineered corners.
The seating is pushed back into position using a scissor jack. The missing "rope" is replaced and laminated in. At the same time fibreglass is layered under the corners of the bin holes.
After the laminate is set, the corners and splits in the seating areas are ground out. These areas are laminated to the required height.
After drying the corners are cut out using a hole saw, and using an airsaw the bits between are cut out. All the repaired areas are sanded flat and then skim filled and finished for priming.
This operation is pretty time consuming, so it'll be a while before all the storage holes are repaired.
Really nice to see the detailed photos and great progress you are making in this.
Just a quick update, nothing much to show as the repairs to the openings for the storage areas are still ongoing (real work seems to be getting in the way!!).
In between laying up fibreglass, I've been able to spend some time on the hinges. There was probably a 50/50 split on seized and partially seized and one completely broken.
Last time they were mentioned, I had put all of them in a bucket of penetrating oil. They soaked for about two weeks.
It was then just a matter of "working" them, untill they were free. After which they were cleaned to get all the verdigris off.
Attention is now turned to the broken hinge. The actual fault is that the pin, through the middle is broken. The original pins are steel and 1/8" in diameter. So after sourcing a piece of steel rod that size, it is cut to length (a little more than the length of the hinge). The parts of the broken pin are carefully drifted out with a compatible parallel punch. Care must be taken to support each part of the hinge whilst this operation is carried out. I fabricated a small fixture, held in a vice, to do this.
The hinge is now assembled with the new pin and the pin carefully peaned over at both ends, hence the slight extra length of the pin, and cleaned.
As we are likely to tow the Portafold with our Peugeot 306, as well as the roadster, the law states that trailers being towed by post 1972 vehicles require the fitment of at least one rear fog lamp.
So rather than just bolting on some non descript bulky lamp that looks like it was just screwed there, it was decided to install some neat lamps that pretty much fit in with the general look of the rear.
First, some mountings needed to be fabricated. So I found a piece of tube the right diameter and made a collar to fit to produce a top hat shape. This was used to laminate around.
The end result was then put in the lathe and turned down to end up with the required depth and diameter mounting.
A decision was then made where to place them, to not look out of place and the holes drilled for the mounts.
The mounts were then fitted and orientated to the correct angles, the lamp has to be fitted vertically.
It was then just a job of laminating the inside.
And then on the outside.
Finally, the outside was filled and shaped and covered in some hand painted two pack primer (this protects the "repair" from moisture).
This will be sanded down again when the final priming, to paint, takes place.
The quality and standard of your restoration work is truly inspirational.
I will be following the rest of your thread with great interest.

Now that the elections are over and the winners and losers are rejoicing - or crying foul, as the case may be - it is hoped that the mess created by all political workers will be cleaned up by those responsible - both public and private property has been dirtied and defaced during the campaign.
While private property owners may curse the candidates or political party for the extra expense, they probably will clean up their walls but public property will be left in a mess until the paper eventually falls off by itself. It should not be the responsibility of the local government or civic agencies, which already have too much to do and are strapped for funds. Of course, it is too much to hope for but the candidates should make an effort and motivate their supporters to do the needful whether they have won or not, since they created the mess in the first place.
Paper pamphlets, large posters; wall chalking are all part of political campaigns that take place whether there is a law against this activity or not - though this year the Supreme Court's edict against wall chalking did show results, at least in the bigger cities. Anything and everything on which a pamphlet can be pasted have these obnoxious pieces of paper stuck on them, usually with the likeness of the candidate. The photographs and printing are mostly of a poor quality, as is the paper. With the heavy rains these poster are torn and tattered hanging from poles, while parts of them have fallen and made a mess on the roads or added to the clogging of drains.
While the Election Commission sets down rules and regulations for candidates to follow, no one really takes notice of them - politicians say they are not realistic and it is impossible to stay within the limits imposed on them. That is something for them to sort out but cleaning up the mess they create should be part of the laid down procedure. Since no one bothers about this aspect of their campaigns, next time around, a sum of money should be collected from each candidate or political party and a fund created to hire persons who clean up in the aftermath of elections. While it may be argued that there is enough garbage lying around and a little more will not make a difference, it is annoying to be reminded about how irresponsible our so called rulers are, which happens every time you see a poster stuck where it should not be.

Girls, Boys Cross Country See Individuals Qualify For IHSA Sectional
After the South Suburban Conference Cross Country meets were rained out and made up on Monday, both the boys and girls teams at Oak Lawn Community High School had a short turnaround to prepare for the Illinois High School Association Regional meets. Both teams managed to get some athletes through and advance to the IHSA Sectional meet coming up this weekend.
On the girls side, the regional was held at Midlothian Meadows, and the weather was perfect. All seven runners ran their lowest times of the season. In the end, there were three senior runners and some freshmen and sophomores. The top three seniors, Ashley Lizak, Jenny Miranda, and Bayan Hammad, qualified for the sectional. The sectional meet will be held at Katherine Legge Memorial Park in Hinsdale this Saturday.
On the boys side, three runners advanced to the sectional as senior Josh Rios, junior Michael Majcherek, and sophomore Angel Reyes all made the cut.
Earlier in the week on Monday, both teams competed in the SSC meet. For the boys, Rios was the only all-conference runner. On the girls side, Miranda, Hammad and Lizak each had a strong race, finishing 11th, 12th and 13th, respectively.
"It was a very tough course with a lot of hills," said head coach Suzan Szala. "I could not be prouder of our girls. They ran their hearts out."
In the Frosh/Soph meet, the Spartans brought home the conference championship. All seven runners finished in the Top 20, and freshman Emma McGrath finished first among the 40 runners. The runners included McGrath, Olivia Janik, Berenice Alvarez, Kerrie Mesta, Olivia Shell, Frankie Liberti, and Orla Sheridan.
In addition, both the boys and girls teams were nominated for the SSC Sportsmanship Award among the seven teams competing.

Circular Economy: S&Ds ensure common EU standards and goals for better waste management
Sustainable Dev.
Brussels, 18 December 2017
After 17 hours of tough negotiations last night, the Council and the European Parliament representatives finally reached an agreement. Despite strong opposition from some EU member states, the Parliament negotiator, S&D MEP Simona Bonafè, ensured that the Waste Package as proposed by the Commission would not be watered down.
Simona Bonafè said:
"It has been a very tough negotiation, and we risked that a minimum threshold of member states could reject the whole package, so for hours and hours we pushed for the best possible deal. We ensured a common EU target for recycling 65% of municipal waste; a common EU target for recycling 55% of plastic packaging waste by 2030 and a binding landfill target to reduce landfill to a maximum of 10% of municipal waste, all by 2035, that is to say, five years later than the original proposal."
"However the most important achievement is the simplification and improvement of definitions and harmonised calculation methods for recycling rates. Right now, member states use different criteria and therefore it is very difficult to ensure compliance.
"The measures agreed on last night actually ignite a real transition towards a zero-waste circular economy that will benefit all: citizens, companies and also the environment. An ethical and sustainable economic model is possible, and it is our task as politicians to pave the way for it.
"The package includes a waste hierarchy, meaning that the main effort by member states should be placed in waste prevention. In fact, for the first time in any EU piece of legislation there is a mandatory obligation for a cut in food waste and marine litter, in line with the 50% reduction target of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. This way we will cut down on the approximately 89 million tonnes of food waste that we in the EU produce every year, around 180 kg per person."
S&D vice-president on sustainability, Kathleen Van Brempt, said:
"The negotiators have reached a very delicate balance between ambitious targets and pragmatic flexibility for member states to adapt, because the situation in each EU country is very different.
"We welcome the fact that for the first time there will be a ceiling for landfilling. Right now over a quarter of municipal waste is put in landfill and less than half is recycled, so now member states will have the economic tools to discourage this practice."
"Another important novelty is the introduction of a minimum mandatory requirement for extended producer responsibility (EPR) schemes. Producers will have to take responsibility for collecting or taking back their already-used products, and also for sorting and treatment of their recycling.
"To reach a real circular economy, we should not only focus on the push factors and the waste stages of materials, but also on the up-cycling and re-manufacturing loop. Therefore the traditional waste polices have to be complemented by product and (re)manufacturing policies that preserve valuable high quality materials in closed loops, creating an EU wide market for high end recycling. These kind of market based production-oriented instruments should be part of the upcoming Plastics Strategy that the Commission will announce in January.
"We also expect the Commission to present its proposal for eco-design, so that we complete the legislation to move towards a sustainable and humane economy in which resources are not wasted."

Australia, New Zealand, United States Security Treaty
Define: Australia, New Zealand, United States Security Treaty
Definition: Australia, New Zealand, United States Security Treaty
Full Definition of Australia, New Zealand, United States Security Treaty
The Australia, New Zealand, United States Security Treaty (ANZUS) was concluded at San Francisco on September 1, 1951, and entered into force on April 29, 1952. The treaty bound the signatories to recognize that an armed attack in the Pacific area on any of them would endanger the peace and safety of the others. It committed them to consult in the event of a threat and, in the event of attack, to meet the common danger in accordance with their respective constitutional processes. The three nations also pledged to maintain and develop individual and collective capabilities to resist attack.
In 1985, the nature of the ANZUS alliance changed after the government of New Zealand refused access to its ports by nuclear-weapons-capable and nuclear-powered ships of the U.S. Navy. The United States suspended defense obligations to New Zealand, and annual bilateral meetings between the U.S. Secretary of State and the Australian Foreign Minister replaced annual meetings of the ANZUS Council of Foreign Ministers. The first bilateral meeting was held in Canberra in 1985. At the second, in San Francisco in 1986, the United States and Australia announced that the United States was suspending its treaty security obligations to New Zealand pending the restoration of port access. Subsequent bilateral Australia-U.S. Ministerial (AUSMIN) meetings have alternated between Australia and the United States. The 12th AUSMIN meeting took place in Sydney in July 1998.
The U.S.-Australia alliance under the ANZUS Treaty remains in full force. Heads of defense of one or both nations often have joined the annual ministerial meetings, which are supplemented by consultations between the U.S. Commander in Chief Pacific and the Australian Chief of Defense Force. There also are regular civilian and military consultations between the two governments at lower levels.
Unlike NATO, ANZUS has no integrated defense structure or dedicated forces. However, in fulfillment of ANZUS obligations, Australia and the United States conduct a variety of joint activities. These include military exercises ranging from naval and landing exercises at the task-group level to battalion-level special forces training, assigning officers to each other's armed services, and standardizing, where possible, equipment and operational doctrine. The two countries also operate several joint defense facilities in Australia, mainly for signals intelligence gathering.
Whilst Australia has fought alongside the United States since the treaty signing including the Korean War, Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and elsewhere, the ANZUS treaty's provisions for assistance when a member nation comes under threat were officially invoked for the first time by Australia after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
New Zealand also fought alongside the United States in Korea and Vietnam and supplied logistical support for the Gulf War, peace-keeping forces in Afghanistan, and engineers in the Iraq war.
The alliance engenders some political controversy in Australia. Particularly after Australian involvement in the 2003 war on Iraq, some quarters of Australian society have called for a re-evaluation of the relationship between the two nations.

Clang. A Self Portrait.
Jendela Gallery, The Esplanade, Singapore
Curator: Michelle Lim
Clang. A Self Portrait. is New York-based artist John Clang's visual diary of expressions on issues that he feels relevant to his identity as a Singaporean. Through a series of photography works featuring a disarmingly real protagonist by the name of BeOn[1], Clang reflects on topics as diverse as reactions to last year's SARS epidemic and universal loneliness in the HDB[2] heartland. Witty and tongue-in-cheek, there is nevertheless a serious undertone to Clang's work that deftly captures the poignancy of dreams and realities shared in Singapore urbanscape.
Artist-photographer John Clang has created a new site-specific installation work for his first solo exhibition in Singapore - Clang. A Self Portrait.
A selection of photographs taken from his BeOn series form the mainstay of the show, which Clang has chosen to stage in the beautiful, if challenging, Jendela Gallery space.
Tales of the city unfold in almost-cinematic tableaus as the completely trusting and unselfconscious BeOn submits to Clang's direction. Exploring the dynamics of a collaborative creative relationship, the artist and his subject exchange roles at various points as they give expression to the artist's feelings about events and happenings in Singapore.
In Sleeping, the first of the series, BeOn becomes a traffic-stopper, of people and vehicles. Defiantly falling asleep in the path of danger, BeOn waves a valiant but futile flag for people slow down their frantic pace of life in Singapore.
SARs is a hilariously ironic parody of the irrational panic that swept through the city during the epidemic. BeOn wears a mask everywhere he goes, even in a swimming pool. BeOn's challenging gaze dares you to make fun of him, even as his portraits become symbol of all the faceless fears that cause walls to come up between people.
The third series, Stray Cat, highlights the loneliness and isolation of urban life, cast in relief by the SARs epidemic. BeOn is a street cat under threat of being culled, having been fingered as the carrier of the mysterious virus. The once-familiar shadows of home take on an ominous air of danger as BeOn searches out spaces of refuge in the concrete jungle.
In order to create an immersive visual experience for the audience, Clang has worked with oft-time collaborator Theseus Chan to design an exhibition space conspicuously devoid of panel text and other conventional signage. Forced to rely on their own interpretation of the scenes, the audience is compelled to enter into a wordless dialogue with Clang's humorous, if sometimes uncomfortable, musings about life for the everyman in Singapore.
Is BeOn Clang or is Clang BeOn? This perplexing riddle is thrown to the audience who may well end up seeing themselves in Clang's photographs.
Clang's move out of Singapore six years ago has only served to sharpen his insights about events and changes in the country he grew up in. There is a Chinese proverb about how an observer's view of the situation is always clearer than that of one embroiled in the action. Clang. A Self Portrait. demonstrates the truth to that saying.
[1] BeOn's name is derived from a command often used on young Singaporean soldiers serving their National Service. The instruction, "Be On!" is the Singaporean colloquial version of the phrase "to be on the ball".

Jana Duggar Offers Update About Incident Leading To Her Child Endangerment Charge
By Mick Joest published 14 December 21
She's trying to set things straight.
(Image credit: TLC)
Josh Duggar's child pornography trial and conviction have put a spotlight on the rest of the 19 Kids and Counting family members. Jana Duggar is the latest to face her own legal issues, as the news of her being charged with child endangerment seemingly drew parallels to the situation with her brother, who was accused a few years ago of molesting his sisters during childhood. Members of the Duggar family were quick to defend Jana, and now she's offered an update on what led to her charge.
Jana Duggar posted a statement about the incident to her Instagram Stories and tried to set the record straight with fans on what exactly happened that led to police involvement. Duggar mentioned that she preferred to keep a private life, but due to the widespread circulation of the inciting story, she needed to share the circumstances of the child endangerment charge that she's pled "not guilty" to.
The raw facts: I was babysitting a few months ago when one of the children wandered outside alone. A passerby who saw the child called the police. This resulted in a written citation, as well as a follow-up with child welfare who concluded that it was an accident and the child was unharmed. They recognized it was a case of a child slipping out of the house when you turn your back for a moment. It all happened so quickly and was scary.
Jana Duggar's side of the story confirms previous reports that the charge was not tied to her brother Josh Duggar, who was recently found guilty of receiving and possessing child pornography, with sentencing to come next year. This incident is entirely unrelated and, it would seem, possibly something that could be handled relatively quickly by the courts, provided Duggar's statement is in line with how authorities saw things.
Jana Duggar continued her statement to address speculation that she'd been arrested, and stated it isn't true. Duggar also pointed out that, as unfortunate as the incident was, she's glad it all turned out safe and alright in the end, saying:
I am grateful for law enforcement and those who protect and serve our community. I was certainly never arrested like some may have implied. In the end, I was just upset at myself that it had happened at all but so thankful it all ended safely and that's truly what mattered the most to me.
Jana Duggar is currently set to appear in court on Monday, January 10, 2022, to address the charges against her. As previously mentioned, Duggar initially pled "not guilty," though if she is indeed found guilty, she could face up to three months in prison, as well as a fine of up to $1,000.
Jana Duggar's story is out there, but now it's on the courts to decide if there will be any punishment for a child endangerment charge. Of course, she and the rest of the Duggar family will still face the court of public opinion as more headlines surface from Josh Duggar's guilty verdict.
