Speaking of anti-progressive 'progressives' chased out of the weeds by Gaza, the discussion on this posting led me here. As I keep saying, Zionism has destroyed American progressive politics. I wonder when progressive 'anti-Semitism' - the norm of progressive thinking in the first half of the 20th century until it was sidelined by the Holocaust - will return.
The smarter revisionists are finally starting to realize that revisionism is the best gift World Jewry has ever received (in a similar vein, I never believed the Mossad killed Haider, their best friend in all of Europe: no real threat to World Jewry, but a constant source of propaganda). Meanwhile, the responsibility-to-protect crowd (Samantha Power, Michael Ignatieff) - considered by people like me to be stooges for World Jewry - have gone missing (or worse, in the case of Ignatieff) on Gaza.
The only thing 'progressive' blogs care about are gay rights and Amtrak. Pelosi's likudism is never mentioned on these blogs

AN Irish politician refused today to apologise after a Jewish rights group expressed outrage over his comments comparing a Jewish colleague to a Nazi propagandist.
The Simon Wiesenthal Centre urged Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen "to publicly condemn" a remark by Aengus O'Snodaigh and to apologise to fellow lawmaker Alan Shatter, who is Jewish, on behalf of the Irish government.

The point of revisionism is to discover the truth. If this helps the jew, great and if it doesn't that's cool too. A healthy society is a skeptical one. We don't have that today.
The Holocaust "remembrance" campaign is not so much a source of Jewish-Zionist power as it is an expression of it. For that reason, debunking the Holocaust will not shatter that power. - Correct, it won't shatter it but it will weaken it. The important thing is to sow the seeds of doubt. You don't have to raze the dam, you only have to weaken it and nature will take its course. Debunking the Spielberg version of history weakens jewish power. Sunlight is a great antiseptic.
That particular issue was, I'm almost sure, was responsible for my being banned from commenting at Mondoweiss.
That and my saying that it 'takes real effort not to see the glaring similarities between Israel and the German Nazis.'
Phil doesn't like comparisons with Nazis. It provokes 'feelings' he just doesn't like.

You appointed Denis Ross and Martin Indyk and Rahm Emmanuel and many others; You, Barack Obama, are the quintessential anti-progressive progressive.
POTUS, thou are but a tool of your murderous shadows, a poor player, that struts and frets your hour upon the stage and then is heard no more; your democracy is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Xeno: Caroline Glick sounds really rather scared by Obama, in her latest effort, which is called "Pictures of Victory" and is about stupid photo ops. She seems to fear that the Obama admin. will sell plucky little Israel down the river for a few photo ops. with Ahmadinejad and Assad.
Like in other sciences, the methods used by historians are to critically review the current views and to investigate documents and all evidence for historic developments. Then this one thing, the industrial murder of millions has to be investigated too, like any other murder, or is it a religious belief..
Mark Weber has good older articles about WW-2 but since he extorted a sum of money from Carto by a legal procedure, he has done almost no work (according to forward). Is that smart?
Xymphora by defaming historical science, which isn't a matter if it is a gift to these or those, shows he is part of a lobby that attacks science.. That is not smart.
FritznoBorg
Astounding Xymphora's claim, that "World-Jewry" (whatever he means by that) is regarding socalled "revisionism" as a gift.
But maybe a hidden Borg strategey - now after the orgy in Gaza is over (?) and the nazis keep on destroying world finance??

ah, love this article:
http://atimes.com/atimes/Global_Economy/KA21Dj04.html
At his Grant Park victory speech, Obama endeared himself to the hundreds of millions of Americans who wouldn't know Tier 1 Capital from teardrop in-ground swimming pools by promising his daughters Sasha and Malia a new puppy for going through the travails of the campaign.
Instantly, the nation became obsessed with this issue; "Obama" and "puppy" return 11.5 million hits on a Google web search, 12 times more than "Obama" and "economic plan". But, as the Roman emperor Commodus' sister Lucilla (Connie Nielsen) said in the year 2000 movie Gladiator, "The mob is fickle, brother." Lately, the new US president has been feeling its sting.
How can he keep the country madly in love with him? Well, adopting a cute puppy that America falls in love with, then having the new president photographed walking it, playing Frisbee with it, maybe helping his daughters give it a bath, would help maintain and bolster his popularity with the public, pressure the Congress to do his (Obama's, not the dog's) bidding, and, in doing so, give immeasurable near-term assistance to the world economy.
Back in December, Obama said that, after New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson withdrew his name from consideration under an ethics cloud, a new puppy was proving harder to find than a new commerce secretary. Considering how much more important the puppy choice is proving to be for the new administration than that of commerce secretary, perhaps the relative difficulties in the two staffing decisions is nothing but a real illustration of the current state of the government's relationship to the governed.
But allow just a bit more from the cynic.
Early in the campaign, Republicans produced TV advertisements that called Obama "the Messiah", an obvious attempt to link the then still mostly unknown candidate to the hayseed backwoods millenarianism of the "Left Behind" theology, which, among other things, prophesized that the Antichrist would one day walk the Earth proclaiming ( "oh no! how evil! ") a message of peace.
In a certain manner, Americans are treating Obama as the Messiah, albeit as a secular, benevolent savior. Millions seem to think that all they have to do is vote for him, maybe watch him dance with his wife at the inaugural ball, perhaps even pick up a cheap commemorative inaugural dish towel holder, and all will be right with the nation.
It won't. America's problems are now far too grave to think that the country can be healed with how those under 40 years of age believe social action should be undertaken, through consumer products' choices.
In other words, you can't right America's wrongs just through the purchase of an Obama mug at Starbucks.
Fixing America will require an equal amount or more of the dedication and purpose that was displayed by Obama's vast army of volunteers. If not, control of the government will invariably soon revert to the big-money special-interest lobbyists who were given a free run of the kingdom under Bush. After all, by 2008, even Bush's most faithful allies in the Christian fundamentalist movement came to realize that all the pious bromides they liked hearing the president utter were just the elevator Muzak being played to cover up the sound of Bush's big money corporate and financial benefactors picking the middle classes' pockets.
Finklestien is just the newer model of Chompsky. From Rowan's link: Norman
Why do you think US media is so one-sided and so pro-Israeli?
I think it has two components. First of all, Israel serves American interests in the region and American media always give a free pass to those states that serve American interests.
When has Israel ever served the interests of the U.S.? There were no Israelis fighting in the first and second Gulf war. In fact we had to pay them to say out which was to their benefit in two ways. And I would argue that those wars were not in the U.S. interests but in ISRAEL'S. The U.S. is Israel's attack dog, NOT the other way around as hasbra would have us believe. I can't think of one time when Israel has been more of an asset to the U.S. then the U.S. has been to Israel. When the cold war was going on Saudi was more of a benefit to us the Israel ever was. The only thing Izzy has ever done for the U.S. is cost us money.
And it should be obvious to everyone now that Norm's ground breaking book "The H Industry" was just a new tack in the joo power system to head off criticism and true scrutinizing of the H event because revisionism was/is making progress in the search for truth. Normy elbowed his way to the front of the parade and made a lot of money to boot. To the 'liberal' joos he stands as an example of their honesty and integrity. As far as any social ostracism, pooh, he's published and spoken more now then he ever did or would have before his ground breaking book (GBB).
This is all just more joo slight of hand and bullshit.

I never took you to be a "stooge for World Jewry", can't imagine why someone would think that.
Maybe they feel that strident criticism somehow reinforces the Zionist's claims.
Who knows, perhaps it does reinforce the views of those who think that the Zionist narrative should not be questioned but, be that as it may, the criticism needs to be aired and confronted.
Does criticizing a narrative make you a revisionist?
I don't care if revisionism benefits the Zionists, I like to know the truth of a matter.
If revisionism will takes me along that road, then I'm for it.
I am sick of seeing the damage we do when we delude ourselves or somebody does it for us.
I don't want someone trying to shove some story down my neck at the same time demanding that I don't question it.
Doubt is my prerogative.
I agree that Finkster is in line with Chompster on the subsidiarity of Israel to US. In Finkelstein's case, and despite his denials, I feel he still has the values of a fairly consistent marxist, whereas Chomsky is a life-long professed anarchist, but I dare say they both share a general support for Wallerstein's "World System Theory", which is just a leninist analysis of the global geography of imperialism, but without the leninist labels. This sort of ambiguous alliance between supposed 'left anarchists' and marxists is very common in liberal academia.
my world is crumbling ... i was sure that attacking palestinian kids with white phosphorus, depleted uranium and tungsten micro-shrapnel was in our interest, just like the financial crisis which saw hundreds of billions carted off to israel (for safekeeping, they are bankers after all) was definitely in our interest.
and not to mention 9-11, iraq, afghanistan, renewal of cold war with russia in addition to hot war with islam, it is clear that america profited and jewsrael an innocent, suffering bystander, now pilloried for willingness to do the bidding of its rapture-hungry christian masters, people like bush, cheney, blair, brown, sarkozy, merkel, pope ben, ... ya want rapture, we'll give ya rapture with trainload of kristall meth thrown in for effect, cheap, only a few trillion + ft. knox.
Thanks, Rowan.
Rowan-
Your overall analysis vis Chomsky and Finkelstein is sound. I'm not sure what you mean by the phrase "ambiguous alliance" -- what exactly is ambiguous? The two perspectives are fairly similar, and certainly would be allied against, say, a George Bush's worldview.
World Systems Theory attempts to account for power relationships by positing an hierarchy within the means of production which channels profits up to financial and intellectual owners over resource producers and analyzing a countries position within that hierarchy. What is your critique, specifically? What theories hold more sway in your opinion?
Ken Hoop said...
Finklestein did not deny an important ethnic element.
And there is, of course, the secondary factor, which is the ethnic element. In many of these newspapers and the media in general, there is a large Jewish presence, and there is a sense of Jewish ethnic solidarity, which plays a role. But I think we have to qualify the secondary factor in two ways. We should not lose sight of the primary factor, which is Israel is the client state of US.
This is not clever opaqeness, nor is Weiss'(more uneven) slant. "Laurie" has not stumbled on anything pivotal. One party is effect says 60% broader Empire/
40% Jewish solidarity-but condemns the nation built on Jewish solidarity as insanely brutal.
The other party says 60% Jewish solidarity 40% Empire. And the low key Maenicheans play like conspiratological Inspector Clouseaus.
Let me burst your bubble, Laurie. Important elements of the non-Zionist wing of the Empire believe Israel is an ally, whether it is or not. Inertia, faulty analysis and "I bought this lemon, now I'm going to rationalize it until we both run off the road," not tricky Jewish supremacy which has fooled the Dick Cheneys of the world.
"non-Zionist wing of the Empire believe Israel is an ally" - The ones getting their palms greased or egos stroked, Jean Kirkpatrick and Bill Buckley for instance. I believe there is an important building in Israel named after Jean and Bill just hated to miss those NYC cocktail parties (emphasis on the cock).
I don't have a problem with ethnic based solidarity. But the jews aren't ethnic and more importantly they are the first to scream to high heaven about white supremacy. Who do you really think funds SPLC and the ACLU? These are the groups that constantly attack your white nationalism. I don't get where your head is at.
There are multifarious American military & political strategists who believe Israel is a strategic ally and who believe, independently from Jewish influence, that America should be a world policeman. This understanding as exemplified in his famous anti-war speech is why for example Charles Lindbergh was a political sophisticate and you are not.
One historian, found out, that pres.Wilson on the way to the "negotiations" for the dictate of Versailles (which he left early, or before) was so deluded to believe to bring salvation, and as some said, in the middle of the Atlantic wanted to go off the steamer, to walk on the water (joke probably)..
Though already then Baruch, Obermayer and other bankers (some jewish) were leading him, so to say. Because really he betrayed his promise of the 14 points, then during the truce, the British continued the hunger-blockade against Gernman people.
There is an element of this "being send" in Americans often, but as WW-2 was more important for the market liberalisation (globalism - imperial, and for corporations)
It gets complicated, and I'll read Kens article tomorrow about Lindbergh and that time (now at gnostic liberation front, as someone posted).-.
my own account of the colonial capitalist world economy is discussed here with this israeli guy yaron:

http://niqnaq.wordpress.com/2009/01/21/finkelstein-israel-is-a-satanic-state/#comment-3342
but to answer your first question, about the ambiguous alliance, I would say that 'left-anarchists' like Chomsky have a fundamentally depoliticising effect, because they resist rigorous class analysis of any problem and insist instead in catering to petit-bourgeois individualist tendencies among the masses, and to the divisive identity politics of minorities, and so forth.
Thank you Fritz, Ken forgot to give a link to Lindbergh's speech. I find it hard to believe that a man who said we had no business in WWII would believe the U.S. should police the world, a rather Empireish thing to do. So now Ken advocates policing the world and at the same time dismantling America. His sophistication has him chasing his tail.
Ken, what makes you think the multifarious American military & political strategists who believe Israel is a strategic ally are independent of Jewish influence?
Thanks for your answer, Rowan.
Where does Petras fit in regards your "depoliticizing" --because he attacks more correctly than Chomsky/Finkelstein
the ethnic problem re US foreign policy but might be guilty of the same charge.
Laurie, you are really as careless
as was Salman with none of his excuse; I made no reference to Lindbergh being an imperialist so why would you conclude his anti-war speech was also a world-policing speech? Nor did I say non-Jewish American imperialists functioned independently from Jewish influence, just that they reached their imperialist conclusions without needing Jewish influence. If you believe without
Perle's opposition, American oiligarchs would have called for Arab nationalization of their ownings, bowed out of the Mideast and supported Ron Paul or Pat Buchanaan's bid for the presidency, you're a fool.
James Petras is really a good marxist-style anti-imperialist analyst. Most of his work seems to be on central and south america, where things sometimes seem a little clearer in that respect than elsewhere. He does not expect instant Che Guevaras to pop up everywhere, and is quite tolerant of mixed and even confused populist-leftist mixtures, which is fair enough.
Perhaps, but I believe he was letting Hugo Chavez have it a few months ago, as if HC was behaving like a reactionary sellout or something against the "true left" of Venezuala. Then he became a somewhat more conciliatory, seemingly, although I do not keep
close watch on these kind of disputes.

Class analysis is almost useless in the modern society.
Caste -based analysis is what should replace it.
That way the roles of Tradition, Religion, and race though would not be as ignored as they are in Marxist thinking
Tradition, Religion, and race account for changes in human society far more than mere class-analysis allows. Though a human construct, are very real in the minds of many - we have after all been conditioned to think in those terms for millenia, so the neural pathways are already there - I look and see someone that looks like me - the human brain is more likely to label them 'friend' rather than 'foe', irrespective of any marxist conditioning
For Example - many of the Muslims of the Indian Subcontinent (inc. modern Pak) are descended from members of the 'Untouchable' caste in Hindu society. The converted because Islam offered them a way to escape their caste-mandated place at the bottom of Indian society.
Hence the disdain with which they are regarded by Hindu fascists today
Just for the sake of fairness in reporting..
One example of many. Both views have sundry others, I'm sure.
http://islamineurope.blogspot.com/2007/12/norway-pakistanis-and-caste-system.html
I think you just undermined your own argument, by means of your own example, hubris.
But, speaking more generally, I would say that caste is characteristic of pre-industrial and pre-urban societies. So, unless you are a neo-primitivist, a la Theodore Kaczynski, it's irrelevant, except as a reactionary fantasy.

Target to offer two-day shipping for holiday season
By Deena M. Amato-McCoy - 10/24/2018
Target is turning up the heat in the holiday delivery battle.
The discounter for the first time ever will offer free two-day shipping to all customers, with no minimum purchase and no membership requirement. The service, which will start Nov. 1 and end Dec. 22, will comprise "hundreds of thousands" of eligible items.
The program will complement Target's same-day deliveries supported by its acquisition of Shipt — a service that is now available "in hundreds of markets" across 46 states, the retailer said. Meanwhile, the company's Drive Up service will be available through nearly 1,000 stores by the end of October.
The news of more shipping options comes on the heels of Walmart's plan to make "millions of items" sold on its marketplace eligible for free two-day shipping on orders over $35. The service, which also does not require a membership, will launch mid-November.
In addition to offering more shipping options this holiday season, Target is also expanding its gifting assortment. This year, the company is featuring more than 1,400 new and exclusive gifts, with most priced under $15.
In addition, nearly 500 locations have added 250,000 sq. ft. of additional space for toys.
"From same-day delivery with Shipt, Drive Up, Free 2-Day Shipping and more, no other retailer can match the convenient delivery options that Target will offer this season," stated Target CEO Brian Cornell.

US$29.3M LEC Loan Agreement before Senate for Ratification
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf has submitted to the Senate for ratification a US$29.3 million loan agreement between the Government of Liberia and the African Development Fund.
The President's letter, dated May 5, said the purpose of the loan is to generate financing for the Liberia Energy Efficiency and Access Project (LEEAP), "and is an integral component of the larger multi donor program which aims to improve access to electricity in Liberia."
She disclosed that the project involves the construction of 46.1km of transmission lines and 280km of distribution lines from Paynesville to Roberts International Airport (RIA), and from Pleebo, Maryland County to Fishtown, River Gee County, with the Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC) serving as the implementing agency of the project.
The total worth of the loan agreement, according President Sirleaf, comprises three components: the African Development Fund, US$13.35 million; Nigeria Trust Fund, US$10 million; and the Transition Support Facility, US$6 million.
According to the agreement, the government shall repay the principal of the loan over a period of thirty (30) years, after a ten (10) year grace period, commencing from the date of the agreement, "at the rate of two percent (2%) of the principal per annum from the 11th to the 20th year inclusive, and at the rate of four percent (4%) of the principal per annum thereafter."
Accepted as a first reading before the plenary, the letter, which is sponsored in the Senate by Grand Cape Mount County Senator Edward Boakai Dagoseh, was unanimously voted upon and sent to the Committees on Foreign Affairs, Ways, Means & Finance; Judiciary; Lands, Mines, Energy, Environment and Natural Resources; and Public Corporations.

Why would the Government like to sign pieces of loan like the US$29..3m dollars for LEC? tHIS
amount is a peanut. It can not covered the whole of Liberia. Then why the Government agreed and signed it?

DUAL CITIZENSHIP:
I have written time and time ago in the past about the Dual Citizenship. It is not going to benefit
any Liberians except those who want it for ulterior reason. The dual citizenship is intended to rob
Liberia and you can see it is robbing the country. Where Robert Kirby, former Auditing General of
Liberia? See what he did at the Commission.
Is the USA going to apportion some of its budgetary appropriations to Liberia simply because some
Liberians are citizens of the United States. Never by any means!
The dual citizenship should treated as a national security issue. Why? Because, those who are
interested in it just want to commit crimes like corruption and others and escape. It is very sad
that the Speaker of the House of Representatives of Liberia is supporting it without giving good
reason for doing so.

SCOTUS will hear transgender bathroom case
On Friday, the Supreme Court granted certiorari to hear Gloucester County School Board v. G.G. and decide these issues:
(1) Whether courts should extend deference to an unpublished agency letter that, among other things, does not carry the force of law and was adopted in the context of the very dispute in which deference is sought; and
(2) whether, with or without deference to the agency, the Department of Education's specific interpretation of Title IX and 34 C.F.R. § 106.33, which provides that a funding recipient providing sex-separated facilities must "generally treat transgender students consistent with their gender identity," should be given effect.
The Court will not hear a broader challenge to "Auer deference" - a doctrine of deferential judicial review of agency interpretations - which was requested by the petitioner.
Put in simpler terms: SCOTUS will decide whether schools must allow transgender students to use the bathroom that matches their gender identity regardless of physiological sex.
What's this got to do with employment law?
This case is based on Title IX. Title IX prohibits schools that receive federal funding from discriminating on the basis of "sex." Title IX's implementing regulation allows schools to provide "separate toilet, locker rooms, and shower facilities on the basis of sex." 34 C.F.R. § 106.33. Does "sex" mean gender identity? A federal agency (Department of Education) opinion letter says yes. That's the basis for the lower court's decision that the school must allow students to use the bathroom that matches their gender identity.
Yeah, yeah, still not employment law . . . here's the tie-in: Title VII prohibits employers from discriminating on the basis of "sex." The EEOC has similarly issued guidance stating that employees must be permitted to use the "restroom corresponding to the employee's gender identity." This guidance is backed by an actual EEOC decision in Lusardi v. Dep't of the Army. Obviously, SCOTUS's interpretation of "sex" discrimination under Title IX will lend some value to interpreting "sex" discrimination under Title VII.
So, will the SCOTUS decision determine an employer's obligations to transgender employees? Not necessarily - there are subtle distinctions between Title VII and Title IX, their corresponding regulations, and agency guidance and decisions. That said, the decision will likely have a huge impact on how Title VII's prohibition of "sex" discrimination applies to transgender employees.

Bonfire Night - 5 November
Photo credit: http://www.culture24.org.uk/teachers/ideas+%26+resources/art311547
Cut and pasted from Wikipedia:
Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Day, Bonfire Night and Firework Night, is an annual commemoration observed on 5 November, primarily in Great Britain.
Its history begins with the events of 5 November 1605, when Guy Fawkes, a member of the Gunpowder Plot, was arrested while guarding explosives the plotters had placed beneath the House of Lords. Celebrating the fact that King James I had survived the attempt on his life, people lit bonfires around London, and months later the introduction of the Observance of 5th November Act enforced an annual public day of thanksgiving for the plot's failure.
Within a few decades Gunpowder Treason Day, as it was known, became the predominant English state commemoration, but as it carried strong religious overtones it also became a focus for anti-Catholic sentiment. Puritans delivered sermons regarding the perceived dangers of popery, while during increasingly raucous celebrations common folk burnt effigies of popular hate-figures, such as the pope. Towards the end of the 18th century reports appear of children begging for money with effigies of Guy Fawkes and 5 November gradually became known as Guy Fawkes Day. Towns such as Lewes and Guildford were in the 19th century scenes of increasingly violent class-based confrontations, fostering traditions those towns celebrate still, albeit peaceably. In the 1850s changing attitudes eventually resulted in the toning down of much of the day's anti-Catholic rhetoric, and in 1859 the original 1606 legislation was repealed.
By the 20th century Guy Fawkes Day had become an enjoyable social commemoration, although lacking much of its original focus. The present-day Guy Fawkes Night is usually celebrated at large organised events, centred around a bonfire and extravagant firework displays.
Guy Fawkes:
Guy Fawkes (13 April 1570 - 31 January 1606), also known as Guido Fawkes, the name he adopted while fighting for the Spanish in the Low Countries, belonged to a group of provincial English Catholics who planned the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605.
Fawkes was born and educated in York. His father died when Fawkes was eight years old, after which his mother married a recusant Catholic. Fawkes later converted to Catholicism and left for the continent, where he fought in the Eighty Years' War on the side of Catholic Spain against Protestant Dutch reformers. He travelled to Spain to seek support for a Catholic rebellion in England but was unsuccessful. He later met Thomas Wintour, with whom he returned to England.
Wintour introduced Fawkes to Robert Catesby, who planned to assassinate King James I and restore a Catholic monarch to the throne. The plotters secured the lease to an undercroft beneath the House of Lords, and Fawkes was placed in charge of the gunpowder they stockpiled there. Prompted by the receipt of an anonymous letter, the authorities searched Westminster Palace during the early hours of 5 November, and found Fawkes guarding the explosives. Over the next few days, he was questioned and tortured, and eventually he broke. Immediately before his execution on 31 January, Fawkes jumped from the scaffold where he was to be hanged and broke his neck, thus avoiding the agony of the mutilation that followed.
Fawkes became synonymous with the Gunpowder Plot, the failure of which has been commemorated in England since 5 November 1605. His effigy is often burned on a bonfire, commonly accompanied by a firework display.
Remember, remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason, why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.
If you want to learn more, the best book to read is Antonia Fraser's The Gunpowder Plot, available from Amazon here:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gunpowder-Plot-Terror-Faith-1605/dp/0753814013/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1352087413&sr=1-2
I have read it myself and I think it is excellent and so comes highly recommended. It is scholarly history but very readable and accessible to all. It explains the oppression and the persecution that Catholics in England faced at the time which motivated them to hatch the Gunpowder Plot.
Thought for the Day:
Was Guy Fawkes a terrorist or a freedom fighter?

Re: Thought for the day
It's a moot point isn't it? Where there is oppression and persecution, there will also be insurrection. I didn't know that Guy took his own life at the end, but I'm glad, actually. Treason or not, Tudor and Stuart times were utterly barbaric when it came to dealing with those thus convicted. :-/
Interestingly I did the Gunpowder, Treason and Plot Walk with London Walks yesterday and the guide made a good point.
The key thing was that the Catholics were expecting to have a better time under James I - they thought he would be more lenient and relax the anti-Catholic laws. They were disappointed. The guide said that it is often when you expect things to get better, and subsequently things do not improve, that revolt, rebellion, sedition and treason occur. If you were expecting nothing, and get nothing, that is easier to live with. I think she had a valid point.
You will be interested in this piece by Antonia Fraser in today's Evening Standard:
Celebrate Bonfire Night but don't burn the Guy.

Thanks for the link. I am not, as you know, a Catholic or even personally very religious, but on purely humanitarian grounds have always felt uneasy about burning effigies, so I agree with her stance on the subject. I have enjoyed making a guy in the past many times, but have never allowed my creations to be burnt!


The Page Patriots and Shelbyville Golden Eagles battled to determine the Region 5-5A champion on Friday night. Winning a title is always a huge deal but the winner would also be guaranteed at least two home playoff games. The teams knew the stakes beforehand and both sides fought all night long in an instant classic that would require overtime to determine a winner.
Page received the opening kickoff and quickly moved the ball down the field. Miles Bonn and Sam Cramer had long receptions for the Patriots to move the ball into Shelbyville territory before Page was forced to settle for 37 yard field goal from Chase Tidmore and the 3-0 lead. Shelbyville has put up impressive offensive numbers all year and they responded to the Page score immediately. QB Grayson Tramel has been one of the most prolific passers in the state during his career but Shelbyville relied on the ground game of RB Caleb Marsh early. Marsh had a long run down to the Page 5 yard line before OT/DT Gary Smith III took a handoff from the fullback position and powered into the endzone to put Shelbyville up 7-3. Unfortunately for Shelbyville, their lead would only last a single play. Page QB Cade Walker hit his receiver Michael Burdick on a go route down the right sideline for an 80 yard touchdown strike on the first play after the kickoff. Burdick showed great speed in beating his defender and Walker dropped a perfect pass into the opening. An exciting first quarter came to a close with Page leading 10-7.
The Golden Eagles moved the ball well all evening but committed four turnovers that would prove too costly to overcome. The first turnover came on a fumble after a long drive to the Page 19 yard line. After recovering the turnover, the Patriots once again drove the length of the field before Walker ran in for a touchdown from six yards out on a well-designed run/pass option. The Golden Eagles were now down 17-7 and in need of a play before half to get back into the game. It came in the form of a 45 yard touchdown pass from Grayson Tramel to Airius Trice to close the gap to 17-14 Page at the break.
Both defenses settled into the game in the 2nd half and the third quarter passed without any points scored. Page was unable to take advantage of the multiple Shelbyville turnovers and the Golden Eagles moved the ball but couldn't put any points on the board until midway through the 4th quarter. Shelbyville used a penalty assisted 90 yard drive that ended with a 34 yard field goal to tie the game at 17-17 with 7:02 left to play. Seven minutes turned out to be long enough for both squads to attempt plus 45 yard field goals to win the game but neither attempt rang true and regulation ended with the score tied at 17-17.
The Golden Eagles went on offense first in the overtime period but were forced to attempt a 32 yard field goal after a false start penalty pushed the offense back. The attempt missed just wide left and left Page with a golden opportunity to secure the victory. Page played for the field goal on their offensive possession by running the ball twice up the middle before attempting the field goal on third down. Junior kicker Chase Tidmore ignored the pressure packed situation and won the game and Region 5-5A for Page by nailing the 23 yard field goal to put the final at 20-17. Page is now guaranteed home field advantage for the first two rounds of the playoffs while Shelbyville can secure the second seed and a home playoff game by defeating Franklin County next week.

The four men began their work Aug. 15 and will be at it for a month, said Lihuang Wung of Tacoma's planning and development service's department.
They are working 10 hours a day to scour off and replace peeling paint, repair lattice damaged by vandals and do other renovations.
"It's kind of weathered," Wung said recently.
"We are very glad and grateful for their generosity," he said of the repair crew from China. "They have the expertise. They know the structure inside out."
The city of Tacoma has set aside $40,000 for expenses associated with the renovation.
That includes room and board for the Chinese workers and the cost of getting their supplies through U.S. Customs, said Debbie Bingham, economic development specialist and sister cities coordinator.
"I don't think we'll get to that number, but the customs charges were $8,000," Bingham said.
Fuzhou paid the men's airfare and bought many of the supplies needed for the renovations.
Lin Yang is a senior engineer with the Fuzhou Municipal Commission of Urban and Rural Construction and is leading the Fuzhou team.
"It was requested that Fuzhou provide some help, and, therefore, we sent a team," said Yang, whose comments were interpreted by Wung.
"It is evidence of how Fuzhou highly regards the relationship between the two cities. It is a way for us to express our love and passion for Tacoma."
The ting opened in September 2011, the centerpiece of a 3.9-acre park along the waterfront near Old Town, built to atone for the 1885 expulsion from Tacoma of 200 Chinese immigrants.
The structure was a gift from the people of Fuzhou, one of Tacoma's 13 sister cities. The Chinese city sent a delegation of people to Washington to help in its construction.
Two of those men have returned to renovate it.
Yang helped to design the ting but was not among the group that came to Tacoma originally to build it.
He said he was surprised at the damage.
The fact that the Chinese crew's visas expired before the construction was completed in 2011 might have contributed to the premature damage, because U.S. workers who completed the job were not trained to carry out some highly specialized tasks, Yang said.
Exposure to saltwater and dampness also likely played a role, he said.
The ting is closed to the public while the work is underway.
On a recent day the crew clambered over scaffolding and used hammers, chisels and power buffers to remove peeling and faded red lacquer from wooden beams and boards.
The crew brought three large containers of lacquer with them to re-coat the pavilion, Yang said.
They relished the weather, saying temperatures in the high 80s were still much cooler than those back home in Fuzhou, which is in southeastern China.
"And the air is clean," Yang said.
They've also enjoyed some local hospitality.
A woman at a tavern bought them a pitcher of beer when they stopped in after first arriving in town, Yang said through Wung.
"The people are very friendly," he said.
Teresa Pan Hosley, president of the Chinese Reconciliation Project Foundation, stopped by to inspect the work. She pointed out that the ting has become a popular place for weddings and other special events.
"It's a beautiful structure," Hosley said. "I think it's going to become a symbol of Tacoma. It's just an amazing place."

MOSCOW, January 9. /TASS/. Russia and India plan to continue joint coordination of efforts as part of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) and other international formats, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
Earlier on Wednesday, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov and Indian First Deputy Foreign Minister Vijay Keshav Gokhale held consultations in New Delhi.
"At the meeting the sides noted an unprecedented character of Russian-Indian especially privileged strategic partnership and highly assessed positive dynamics of bilateral relations in various areas," the ministry said.
The sides emphasized their intention "to further coordinate efforts of the two countries on the international arena, including as part of BRICS and other multilateral formats."
The ministry also stressed that during the consultations the sides stated that Russia and India share their approaches to vital global and regional issues, including the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on the Iranian nuclear program. They also discussed in detail the issues related to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and other issues of the current agenda in the sphere of arms control and non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
The sides confirmed their joint "commitment to forming a polycentric world order based on fair and democratic principles and the rule of law," the statement said.

Could Sanctions Ground Russia's Next-Gen Passenger Jet? (Могут ли санкции препятствовать выпуску российского пассажирского самолета нового поколения?) / Russia, January, 2019
Keywords: economic_challenges
Source: sputniknews.com
Russia has high hopes for the new MC-21 medium-range jetliner, expecting it to become more than a match for competitors like the Boeing-737 and Airbus A-320.
US sanctions against Aerocomposit and ORPE Technologiya, a pair of companies engaged in the development of the MC-21, have cut off access to US and Japanese components necessary for the production of the plane's revolutionary composite wing design, Russia's Kommersant business newspaper has reported, citing industry sources.
According to the newspaper, components for the plane's wings and vertical stabiliser are produced by Hexcel, a US-based company and Toray Industries, a Japanese manufacturer. Russia currently has a stock of composite materials to build six more planes, and proposals to get around the problem are being actively discussed, one of Kommersant's sources added.
"We will have to either take Chinese composite materials, which are two times thicker and heavier, or wait until Russian industry is able to create something similar," the source said.
According to Kommersant, the Yelabuzhskiy Composite Materials Factory in Tatarstan, Russia is theoretically capable of creating the needed materials, but doing so will require time and resources for R&D and machine tools, which could push back the plane's mass production to "at least 2025."
Another option is assistance from Russian nuclear energy company Rosatom, which has an import substitution program and a composite materials division called Umatex, which has already agreed to participate in the development and testing of materials for the MC-21. However, according to Kommersant, Russia does not yet have enterprises capable of producing these materials.
A third option, proposed by the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute and the Zhukovsky Institute, is to redesign the wing and vertical stabiliser using metal, which would reduce delays, but also threaten to "kill the composites, which were proposed as one of the main advantages of the airliner," one of Kommersant's sources said.
Speaking to reporters on Thursday, the office of Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov, whose portfolio includes defence and aerospace, stressed that there were no significant challenges to the MC-21 program caused by US sanctions.
"The Russian government is aware of everything happening with the MC-21 project. Currently there are no problems threatening the project," the deputy prime minister's office said.
Furthermore, Rostec, ORPE Technologiya's holding company, called the problem "far-fetched", adding that the Russian aviation industry faces no shortage of composite materials, sanctions notwithstanding.
"There are reliable foreign suppliers of composites; there are our own developments. The aircraft industry will not remain without the necessary materials in any case, and the abandonment of the use of composites in the MC-21 is not even under consideration," Rostec explained.
The MC-21, a new short and medium-haul jetliner built by Irkut Corporation, a subsidiary of United Aircraft Corporation, is a major component in a broader effort by Russian aircraft builders to revive the country's once mighty civilian aircraft industry.
Featuring a carrying capacity of between 130 and 220 passengers among its variants, the MC-21 has a range of 6,000 km. Developers, flight testers and industry officials have touted the aircraft's advantages over competitors, including superior fuel consumption stats, lower maintenance requirements, higher cruising speed, more comfortable cabin pressure, climate control and noise isolation, as well as a price tag millions of dollars below that of competitors.
These characteristics are provided for by the planes airframe, engine and avionics systems design, including a composite wing design and the use of the PD-14 turbofan engine power plant, produced by Perm-based aircraft engine builder Aviadvigatel.
The MC-21 made its maiden flight in May 2017, and has been engaged in extensive testing. Expecting to receive certification from Russian civil aviation authorities this year, producers are hoping to get European Aviation Safety Agency certification in 2020.
Over 200 MC-21s have already been ordered by Russian airlines, including flag carrier Aeroflot. Hungary, Bangladesh and Syria have expressed interest in the aircraft, with India reportedly looking to domestically produce the airliner on license. Along with the domestic market, Irkut hopes to sell the plane extensively abroad, particularly among the BRICS group.
Mega City Projects In The Brics Regions (Проекты мега-городов в странах БРИКС) / South Africa, January, 2019

The narrative on the progress of catalytic projects (Megatropolis) in the regional blocs of the BRICS is exciting and reflects extremes of sophistication and complex-challenges. The cause and effect of the dawn of these megacities have similar stories behind them.
As social housing is a non-profit sector, it is necessary to think beyond the public-private model and develop a third option, were the local community is the driver, and housing is not considered as a commodity. It is when you mix the typology with industrialisation that the model produces return for investment to which increases palatability.
Public and private sectors have to pro-actively support and participate in community led housing programs which should synchronise with poverty reduction, livelihoods, facilities, equity and security.
The BRICS have diverse expenditure and allocation for urbanisation underpinned by spatial information and city administration. The largest most tech-savvy with high cash spend per capita is China, Russia, South Africa, India then Brazil. China is aiming to build a Mega City larger than Britain with 100 million dwellers.
Last year, more than 340 billion yuan – US$48 billion was invested in Jing-Jin-Ji's (Beijing, Tianjing and Hebei) five pillar industries of education, health, transport, ecology and human resources (NBC News, 2014). This has set the benchmark of how typically a country can build symbols most representing them. Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzen are each considered windows representing national profile to a fair extent.
In the most extensive resettlement project of Russia's Khrushchevka housing regime, 10% of Moscow is to be replaced with new housing model for a 1.6million Mixed Housing Typology (Rockefeller Foundation, 2017). Moscow is tackling several huge urban development projects which started with a 120bn roubels – $1.8bn of road rehabilitation.
In totality the Putin administration will spend close to 3tn-roubles ($455bn) for revitalisation and megatropolis projects.
The contemporary transformation tool has an important role in promoting a sensible debate for the BRICS on new paradigms and economic growth taking place globally. The urban global tipping point is yet to be reached as 60% of the world's population is currently un-urbanised (FIG, 2010).
South Africa's programme is set to reach R800bn – $53bn by 2022 through the Presidential Infrastructure Commission, with Gauteng taking a larger share of the portion. India is prepared for a 7 mega city projects by 2030, of which the New Delhi city will receive an estimated 9.3 million people (Jain A.K, 2016). The government of India has launched the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) for building 20 million houses by 2022.
The programme is found in the draft National Urban Rental Housing Policy (NURHP) 2015. Mumbai, Kolkata, Bengaluru and Chennai are anchors of the megatropolis to be joined by Hyderabad and Ahmedabad by 2030. It was difficult to attain the value of the megaprojects, but an estimated $45bn is earmarked till 2022.
Brazils Minha Casa Minha Vida (MCMV) is a major social housing programme launched in 2009 by Hon Lula da Silva to build 1 million homes in order to address low-income housing shortage amid rocketing costs – the downturn saw a $551mn mega project canned in 2017. The revolution is styled "My House My Life" and has up to date delivered 2 million houses.
This growth has of course an impact on social, economic and ecological systems. The opportunity available for the coalition is to nature the growth in a sustainable manner, both professional and political managers should act proactively towards modern spatial management.
Accountability, co-responsibility, precaution and dialogue between academics and practitioners, as well as collective decision making is key to addressing climate, energy and environmental sustainability. Energy in particular has been a topical issue due to inadequacies and illegal connections as common phenomena in all of the BRICS.
The positive is BRICS countries have shown demand for the collection, integration, management and sharing of information and the relevant education; experience sharing and development of best practices. This appetite is driven by multidisciplinary factors in society which in turn are magnified by rapid urbanisation and the conditions of the world's megatropolis.
Buenos Aires has invested in spatial data access on a public website – reporting on city administration, planning, disaster management and land tenure specific to address BRICS topics.
Although it must be recognised that citizen participation in information gathering suggests certain risks like the concern for privacy; suspicion of governmental intrusion and loss of public support; the issue of quality of data collected by non professionals and the need for quality analysis; the danger of miss-use of citizen-provided information by repressive governments; and the question of the capacity of governmental agencies to monitor, evaluate, and interpret the volumes of data collected in certain urban sensing systems is critical.
The key factor for success will be utilising information technology to support growth as resources are necessary for the efficient use and economy of material, time and money.

The large sunspot (called AR2665) that rotated out of view about two weeks ago has returned (Aug. 1-2, 2017). Though much reduced in size, it did blast a good-sized coronal mass ejection about a week ago on the far side of the sun (see the image and video PIA21866. It was showing off numerous magnetic loops and arches above it as it came into view. So we will be keeping an eye on this one for more solar activity. Sunspots can last from days to months, so for it to return again is not an unusual event.

ADVA Optical Networking leads WDM-PON innovation project
ADVAntage-PON project to develop WDM-based access technology
Strengthening its commitment to bring cost-effective optical fiber-based access technologies to the market place, ADVA Optical Networking today announced its participation in a research project designed to develop future-proof, scalable Wavelength Division Multiplexing Passive Optical Networking (WDM-PON) technology. Called "ADVAntage-PON", the project represents another milestone in ADVA Optical Networking's ongoing efforts to encourage the build-out of fiber-based access networks. The project will run for three years and is supported by Germany's Federal Ministry of Education and Research (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung, BMBF).
After having launched a first commercial solution in 2008, ADVA Optical Networking continues to investigate and test the network and system aspects of WDM-PON technology, with the goal to deliver data rates of 1Gbit/s to more than 1,000 users over a distance of more than 100 kilometers. An additional outcome of the project will be that system components to be developed as part of the overall project will be used with ADVA Optical Networking's systems to develop and implement a project demonstrator at the company's Meiningen site. The resulting technology from the project will be incorporated into the company's FSP 3000 and FSP 150 products, and a final outcome will be a field trial implemented with Deutsche Telekom in Berlin. The field trial is designed to incorporate approximately 20 end-user organizations.
"WDM technology has been successfully deployed in long-haul, metro core and backhaul networks for many years, delivering unprecedented capacity and reach. Now the technology is also starting to show its value in the access network," explained Christoph Glingener, CTO of ADVA Optical Networking. "With our participation in this project, we expect to help define an optimal network architecture that is focused on the user and the growing demand for bandwidth. At the same time, future access technology must recognize the service provider's need for energy-efficient, secure and cost-effective service provisioning. This project will drive forward all those elements."
In addition to cost-effective access technology development, the project will also focus on network security, energy efficiency, network monitoring and network management. Seven other organizations will participate in the project with ADVA Optical Networking, including ADC Krone; AIFOTEC GmbH; ELBAU GmbH; ELCON Systemtechnik; Fraunhofer-Institut HHI; University of Kiel; and VERTILAS GmbH.

This private tour combines touring in the beloved city of Hanoi with a luxurious cruise in beautiful Halong Bay.
Begin in Hanoi, Vietnam's fascinating capital and intellectual center. During private touring, visit the city's most important historical attractions, such as the Temple of Literature, One Pillar Pagoda, the House on Stilts and Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum. Take an in-depth tour of Hanoi's incredible Old Quarter, where each street was historically dedicated to a specific trade or material, such as bamboo, silk and lacquer. While touring the narrow streets, learn about the history of the Old Quarter and its traditional architecture, and see how it has transformed into a fashionable district with cafes, art galleries and boutiques featuring the finest Vietnamese design and style.
Continue to scenic Halong Bay for an overnight cruise on a luxurious, traditional junk-style boat. Sail among beautiful limestone islands, dine on fresh seafood, enjoy on-board activities such as tai chi at sunrise, and perhaps explore local caves, hike to a scenic overlook, go sea kayaking or visit a floating village.
Enjoy a relaxing meal sampling the delicious cuisine of Vietnam. Your guide will be on hand to transfer you to and from the restaurant, and to help you select your meal.
Halong Bay cruise: For early risers complimentary tea, coffee and pastries are served in the restaurant followed by – if you so desire – a Tai Chi Class on the terrace deck. A great morning activity to feel one with this natural wonder. Then it is time for an early morning bath – in the Bay. By tender boat we bring the guests to a natural white sandy stretch of a beach with crystal clear water. Sporty ones can climb up to a hill top to have a last view from above over the Halong Bay before we return to the boat and cruise slowly back to Halong City, passing picturesque areas like the Ti Top island, the Tam Cung Cave and Poem Mountain. During our trundle, a buffet brunch is served before we arrive at the shore at around 11.00h. The crew will bid you farewell and you disembark with our tender boat to the Tuan Chau Pier.
Your guide will meet you as you disembark and will transfer you back to Hanoi. Your journey will take around 3 ½ hours through the historical countryside of the Red River Delta which is peppered with hundred-year-old villages. Along the way you will have the opportunity to take a comfort break and stretch your legs. You will arrive at Noi Bai airport in time to connect with your departure flight.


Shalom to all. This evening Israel commemorates Memorial Day for all those who have been killed during the years of wars and rumors of wars. It is a true statement that we must fight for liberty and peace. Tuesday is Israel's Independence Day, and God is working to sanctify His name amongst His people whom He will cleanse from all their ungodliness and uncleanness. We praise and worship our great God and Savior that He has paid the greatest price and won the war, and gives His peace to those who believe it!
In accordance with the instructions of Judge Iddo Ruzin, the three sides to the lawsuit prepared drafts of a proposed compromise and submitted them to the court. At that time, we, Nichalim BaNegev [Streams in the Negev – the registered, non-profit society that provides legal coverage for Kehilat Nachalat Yeshua/Yeshua's Inheritance Congregation, and me, as plaintiffs, along with Beer Sheva's Chief Sephardic Rabbi, Yehuda Deri, and the anti-Messianic organization, Yad L'Achim/Hand to the Brothers, as defendants, faced the judge for the final time. Our lawyers, Marvin Kramer and Kevork Nalbandian, have faithfully represented us throughout the more than four years since we first decided to file a civil suit against those defendants for the illegal demonstration, trespass and violence against us on 24 December 2005 (which was the second time that the same two parties have worked together and were involved in a massive demonstration against our congregation).
When we appeared in court, the Judge submitted his own version of a proposed compromise, and submitted it to us for review. None of the parties was willing to accept the compromise as drafted by the Judge. Despite efforts to reword and revise the language, we were not able to reach agreement. We said that a public apology for the event getting out of control would be acceptable, since they publicly lied and ridiculed us in the media. We did not even insist that they accept 'guilt' in order to apologize, but rather that they would express remorse and apologize for their actions, which resulted in a riot which got out of control. The defendants were not willing to apologize, and it became very clear that there was no regret or remorse from either of them. From the tone and content of their words in open court, we realized that we could not accept the court's proposed compromise, as in our opinion, it contained untrue statements, and our faith would not allow us to say that wrong was right, or agree to compromise on a fundamental premise, namely, a public apology.
There were other aspects of the proposal that we also could not agree with, such as a request by one of the defendants for an order directing that any compromise reached would not be allowed to be publicized. At the end of the hearing, Judge Ruzin said that he would prepare his decision and send it to the attorneys in the mail. We hope to receive it within 30 days.
Throughout the course of the lawsuit, we felt not only the burden of representing ourselves, but also recognized that we were taking a stand for the believing community as a whole here. Our decision to risk accepting the judge's verdict over a meaningless 'compromise' was done in the belief that this lawsuit is approved by the Lord with His blessing. The fact that so many of you have stood with us — not only in prayer, but also in appearances in court, in coming to Beer Sheva to worship and to intercede, to give financial contributions towards the cost of the case — has greatly encouraged us that this is not our personal issue or battle, but God's! We know that the outcome is in His hands, and we continue to pray that His righteousness will prevail.
We all thank you all very much, and praise God for this opportunity to work together towards accomplishing His purposes at this time.

(biography, photos, videos) William Arthur Philip Louis
Name: Prince William ( William Arthur Philip Louis )
Date of birth: 21 June 1982.
Activities: Duke of Cambridge, second heir to the throne of great Britain, an officer of the Royal horse guards UK
Marital status: Married to Kate Middleton
Prince William: a biography
Prince William is one of the most famous personalities in the world community and modern European history. He is a member of the British Royal family and the first heir to the throne after his father, considers himself not only the gift, but also a heavy curse. Despite this grandson of Queen Elizabeth II accepted the fact that he is a descendant of the Royal blood and dignity performs his duties in a secular society, what attracts the attention of hundreds of thousands of people.
Biography of Prince William originates on 21 June 1982 in London St Mary's hospital. He was born in the Royal couple of Prince Charles of Wales and Princess Diana, becoming the first heir to his father on the throne. William Arthur Philip Louis was born first from their parents and from the moment of birth has gained immense popularity in the society, as was the only member of the Royal family born outside of the Palace.
Since childhood Prince William was restless and curious child and loved to fool around and play around like normal children. But the boundless love of a mother forced him in adolescence and sensible with a Tomboy to turn into a real Prince. Then he took up his studies and all his spare time was devoted to books, for which Princess Diana became jokingly call him «the thinker.»
A distinctive feature of education of Prince William and his brother Harry have become a common boarding school in Berkshire, as their mother categorically insisted that her children were taught not in the traditional stand-style, and on a par with other children. Prince William training at school calls her the happiest of days, since that is where he socialized and learned to communicate with people in the future allowed him to win the love of the British. In school, he lived in one room with four students with whom classes were taught reading, arithmetic and writing. Also he was actively fond of sports and has achieved considerable success in football, hockey, marathon and athletics.
In 1995, after leaving school the Duke of Cambridge enrolled at the prestigious Eton College, where studied art history, geography, and biology. It is given all the relevant subjects, so the teachers remember the heir to the Royal throne as a diligent and polite student with a sense of modesty and tact. Due to the developed in elementary school sociability Prince William quickly made friends, but the truth, in Eaton, he had to live in a separate room, but not because of arrogance, but because of security reasons.
The first year a happy and joyful life in College is over for Prince William, a terrible shock. In late August 1996, divorced her parents the Prince of Wales and Princess Diana. The heir to the Royal throne worried the breakup of their relationship, but was the main supporter of his mother in the Royal family, because he felt her boundless love.
Parental divorce was not the last misfortune to the Royal family – 31 August 1997 in a car crash killed Princess Diana, that has put Prince William in a deep shock. It is very hard to bear the loss of a loved person, so he became uncommunicative, he stopped attending classes and is completely closed in itself. It was at that moment he has formed the so-called phobia, which is expressed in hatred of journalists as a Royal heir finds «paparazzi» are the main culprits for the death of his mother.
To return to normal life and defeat the stress of the Duke of Cambridge had to ask for help to a shrink, which helped William to overcome his grief. Then the Prince took himself in hand and continued her studies, trying to fulfill all the cherished dreams of his dead mother who wanted her children were educated.
After Eton, Prince William took a one year break in study and devoted himself to Royal matters. He decided to follow in the footsteps of Princess Diana, so all this time spent traveling the world. The Duke of Cambridge has visited many third world countries, where they conducted large-scale charity action, as did his mother. During this time, William was able to gather my thoughts and find direction for their future education.
The selection of a Royal heir fell on the prestigious St. Andrews University located in Scotland, where he applied for enrollment for the overall program. William became a student of the University in the Department of art history. The study did not brought great pleasure to Prince William, and he even wanted to withdraw from the University, but after the third year I decided to change the specification for geography, which has captured him and allowed to finish school with a prestigious diploma.
Further activities Prince William was to carry out socially useful Affairs in the public service. He actively represented Queen Elizabeth II at a gala event in New Zealand dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the end of world war II, and also worked in the management of rural estate and various financial institutions.
In mid-2006, the Prince William entered the Royal Military Academy, than repeated the career of all members of the Royal family in the male line. He had to serve in the British regiment of the Royal horse guards. In 2009, he graduated from Sandhurst with the rank of Junior Lieutenant and enrolled in flight school CWS, from which came the rank of captain.
In the same period, Prince William was awarded the honorary title of defense counsel (a barrister), which made him the sixth member of the Royal family, which, since the XIX century, managed to obtain this prestigious title. But advocacy is not strongly attracted by the heir to the Royal throne, so he decided to devote himself to work in the rescue service in the UK.
He enlisted in the composition of the rescue base of the Royal air force, the forces which are localized on the Welsh island of Anglesea. For the positions of helicopter rescue pilot he had to take part in many special operations, including the operation to rescue Russian sailors from the wreck of the ship «Swanland».
Personal life of Prince William particularly attractive to society than his military success. Until 2011 he was the most eligible bachelor in the world, and after news of his engagement to Kate Middleton and even drew the attention of all Europe.
With his future wife, the Duke of Cambridge met in 2003 while studying at St. Andrews University. Their relationship from the beginning has been fairly difficult because of the attention and attacks of journalists. This «attack» the lovers are unable to withstand, so in 2007 decided to divorce. Three years later the couple decided to renew the relationship, then the whole world has heard the news of the engagement of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
The marriage of the heir to the Royal throne took place on 29 April 2011 at London's St. Peter's Church, which brought together thousands of people from all over the world who came to see the wedding ceremony of the Royal couple. According to media reports, the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton cost the municipal Treasury of nearly $175 million and became the most discussed event in all of Europe.
After the Archbishop announced William and Kate are husband and wife, Queen Elizabeth II granted the young couple the titles of Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Their official residence was Kensington Palace, which moved the newlyweds inherited from Princess Diana.
Two years after the wedding, Kate Middleton gave the wife of the heir, who was born 22 Jun 2013. The happy parents named their son George, who, like the father from birth, became one of the most popular people on the planet. In 2014 it became known about the new pregnancy of the Duchess of Cambridge, which is may 2, 2015 gave birth to daughter Charlotte.
After having children, Prince William decided to leave military service, and expressed a desire to devote himself to Royal duties and charity. Their efforts, he intends to send to the protection and preservation of wildlife, which is on the brink of extinction due to catastrophic climate change.

3PAR Powers on iSCSI for Utility Storage
Simple and efficient storage now paired with simple and efficient storage networking
FREMONT, CA, August 15, 2006 -- 3PAR® announced today the availability of native iSCSI connectivity for 3PAR InServ® Storage Servers. This capability gives new and existing customers the ability to extend their consolidation efforts and to take advantage of the utilization and management benefits of utility storage using both Fibre Channel and IP-based storage area networks (SANs).
"With iSCSI support, we can now consolidate even more applications onto our utility storage infrastructure," said Mark Douglas, vice president of technology at eHarmony. "The InServ Storage Server gives us a single storage platform that we can manage simply and efficiently across Fibre Channel and IP-based SANs."
iSCSI for Utility Storage enables customers to extend to their IP-based SANs the same dramatic cost reductions they receive when using 3PAR Utility Storage with their Fibre Channel SANs. iSCSI for Utility Storage customer benefits include:
Protocol-independent storage consolidation: Organizations may now supplement Fibre Channel-based storage deployments with an IP-based storage network while maintaining a single, consolidated storage pool.
Application server cost reduction: Instead of adding Fibre Channel host bus adapters (HBAs) for storage connectivity to each new server in large Linux® and Microsoft® Windows Server® environments, organizations can now reduce server deployment costs using built-in gigabit Ethernet ports and iSCSI drivers.
Database storage consolidation: A customer who previously selected network attached storage (NAS) to deploy in a high-growth database environment can retain its investment in an IP storage network while gaining the performance of a block-level system. At the same time, the customer can eliminate the incremental expense of NAS and the struggle of managing the proliferating number of NAS systems that can plague high-growth database environments.
"Users continue to look for more economic ways to deploy SAN environments than traditional Fibre Channel," said Dave Reinsel, IDC director of storage research. "Integrating iSCSI into its storage array designs allows 3PAR to expand its market beyond Fibre Channel SANs and enables it to address consolidation needs in the high-growth area of IP-based SANs. Users can take advantage of iSCSI solutions such as 3PAR's regardless of storage network type and can consolidate both Fibre Channel-based and IP-based storage."
iSCSI connectivity for the InServ Storage Server is enabled through the use of dual-ported iSCSI host bus adapters, which may be added to any InServ Storage Server non-disruptively. Adapters feature complete iSCSI and TCP/IP offload for enhanced performance and support for active-active iSCSI multipathing.
iSCSI for Utility Storage is available immediately and is supported with Red Hat Linux, SUSE Linux, and Microsoft Windows Server. Pricing for the 3PAR InServ Storage Server with four iSCSI ports starts at around $115,000 and includes installation, training, and three years of support.
"Where practical, storage companies should be indifferent about network protocols and we don't force a choice between Fibre-Channel or iSCSI." said David Scott, President and CEO of 3PAR. "All that matters is reducing the total cost of data for our clientele, and now 3PAR can offers its disruptive economic alternative to traditional arrays in both Fibre-Channel and iSCSI fabrics."
About 3PAR
3PAR is a leading provider of utility storage, a simple, efficient, and massively scalable tiered-storage array for utility computing that lets customers serve more with less. 3PAR utility storage can cut an organization's total cost of data by 50 percent. Capacity purchases and related costs can be cut by 75 percent while storage administration and associated expenses can be reduced by 90 percent. 3PAR Utility Storage is ideal for open systems storage consolidation, integrated data lifecycle management and performance-intensive applications.
