Methadone withdrawal will certainly be needed sooner or later, after methadone maintenance or a discomfort management program using methadone has begun. If your feeling enslaved by needing to go to a Pep NM clinic or a pharmacy day-to-day as well as undergoing hell if you wish to take a trip, there is an escape.
Methadone usage produces a numb sensation to living, significant stomach issues as well as physical dependence that defeats all others; that's the short list. All kinds of various other illness that methadone use produced are uncovered as soon as starting methadone withdrawal. I'll provide you some response to assist right now, as well as better options to handle the trouble to ending methadone reliance for life.
Addictions medical professionals and discomfort management clinics in New Mexico are persistently prescribing methadone for opiate abuse as well as chronic pain, but just what are the consequences of methadone use? I've provided many below. If you've already attempted Methadone withdrawal and also had troubles, I have actually got some help you would not have discovered in other places.
Once it is time to begin methadone withdrawal, lots of people are having BIG issues finishing their methadone use. Exactly how does one take out from methadone in Pep New Mexico? What challenges will they need to get over?
The truth is that lots of addictions doctors as well as discomfort administration specialists in Pep are acting upon the recommendations from their peers and also advisors. They are not informed of the deaths because of recommended methadone use nor the troubles that often take place when taking out from methadone usage.
Vital: extensively study medicines or medications yourself prior to you purchase or take them. The results can be gruesome. They likewise may have harmful interactive results when taken with other medications.
Several otherwise all methadone impacts are brought on by nutritional shortages. Methadone use develops dietary deficiency – especially calcium and magnesium deficiency. Another is B vitamin shortage. This is how these deficiencies are manifested.
Methadone withdrawal will certainly need a lot of additional dietary supplements. That indicates it's time to feed the body. Calcium and magnesium will assist with the constraining and so on. But there will be some problem numerous will have taking their nutrients – a bad intestine.
Methadone and also anxiousness meds tend to ruin the intestine cellular lining. A leaking digestive tract gives discomforts when eating or allergies, prone to illness as well as skin issues. Another sign of a leaking intestine is irritability and also a 'bad attitude'. The mindset can have physical reasons overlooked by the individual.
An excellent idea to helping the intestine issue is consuming great deals of high quality yogurt with live probiotics in it, like acidophilus and also bifidus. One can also supplement with huge amounts of glutathione – an antioxidant to assist the detoxing process.
The trouble with methadone is that it is toxic to the body. Your body understands it, but you may not. Taking methadone difficulties your body organs to purify the body and safeguard the important body organs prior to they are severely damaged.
Toxic substances offer the body a tough time. If you've seen drug addict with dark circles under their eyes, grey skin, negative skin, hair befalling, low power, odd disorders, etc. they're obtained dietary shortages. Those shortages are hard to recoup from with food alone. Sometimes that food isn't being properly absorbed = bad intestine.
Detoxifying the body is more than just quiting substance abuse. Substance abuse develops interior body damage you might not promptly acknowledge. However, the body will attempt to purify right after substance abuse as well as recover itself making use of any type of nutrients offered. If the nutrients aren't available, the body will obtain (steal) them from the bones, nerves or various other vital functions.
Some will require medical detox from methadone – the problem is that most Pep methadone detox centers don't use nutritional supplements as part of their program. They just give more medications, and often not the right ones. The lack of full understanding on Methadone detox creates a brutal scene to withdraw from.
The bright side is that I have actually located the devices as well as the detoxification centers in NM that could beat methadone withdrawal smoothly and easily.

1-(3-Chlorophenyl)-4-(2-phenylethyl)piperazine (3C-PEP) is a research chemical of the piperazine class of chemical substances with psychoactive properties. 3C-PEP is related to meta-cholorophenylpiperazine (mCPP) and phenethylamine that can be thought of as mCPP having a phenylethyl group attached to the nitrogen atom at its 4-position. It was first described in 1994 in a patent disclosing a series of piperazine compounds as sigma receptor ligands. Later, it was discovered to be a highly potent dopamine reuptake inhibitor. Rather serendipitously, since the investigators were looking for compounds that bind to the sigma receptor as sigma ligands have been proposed as potential treatment of psychostimulant abuse including cocaine and methamphetamine abuse.
3C-PEP is one of the most potent dopamine transporter (DAT) ligand reported to date. It is highly selective for the dopamine transporter (DAT dissociation constant Ki = 0.04 nM) with relatively low affinity for the closely related Norepinephrine transporter NET (Ki = 1107 nM ) and the Serotonin Transporter SERT (Ki = 802 nM). In addition, the compound has little or no affinity for D2-like receptor (Ki = 327 nM), Serotonin 5-HT2 receptor, (Ki = 53 nM) Opioid receptor (Ki>10000 nM) and the PCP/NMDA receptor (Ki>10000 nM).

Glory of the New Garter.
A few seasons ago when Audrey Beardsleyism was the rage and Oscar Wilde a lion in "sassiety" gay plaid stockings in Persian or Audrey Beardsley designs sold as high as $7.50 a pair, enough I should say to enable a poor devil like me to live a week. But this is not all. For spring or June brides of the "swell London sassiety set," fine white silk stockings cost $22.50 a pair must go with a wedding gown and trousseau equally as extravagant, the climax of fashion's freakish ways being the rose-made garter worn over said stockings. Parisian society which smells to heaven in fashionable odors has now originated garters made of primroses, harebells, narcissus, violets and lillies, the same being worn by the ladies at balls and receptions in Paris. Knots of blossoms are caught among the thick flouncings and ruches of the petticoats; and even the embroidered corset has its little bouquet attachment. The inside flounce of the most delicate evening gowns is made entirely of flowers, and the newest garter is simply made to conform to the general harmony of fragrance and color.
The appropriateness of a flower for garter-wearing purposes is considered according to the degree and strength of its perfume, the most highly perfumed being the most highly appropriate. Violets are in great favor, and are used for garters worn with lilac, lavander, delicate green or white costumes. Again, as American women love to ape the fashionable society of gay Paris it may not be very long before in the great cities of the country we may not only have the American morphine fiend and cologne-drinker, but also the perfume faddist. Not long ago a Paris druggist communicated to a few French "sassiety" women the plan of perfuming the skin by means of hypodermic injections. The favorite distilled odors are violet and lavender. I know not how true it is, but I heard that this fashion is already being taken up by some of New York city's fashionable freaks of "sassiety" women.
I have recently been engaged in reading two very interesting histories, the one of the rose, the other of perfume, in reading which I was deeply impressed with the fact that all the civilizations of the past, previous to their downfall, had their rose fetes, their festivals of flowers where luxury and license ruled, where effeminacy ruled supreme, their perfumed halls and extravagant balls and soirees. Before the fall of the Roman Empire, the wealthy abandoned themselves to pleasure, luxury and licentiousness and such expressions as "living in the midst of roses," and "sleeping on roses" had a deep and tragic meaning. Seneca speaks of Smyndiride who could not sleep if one of the rose petals with which his bed was spread happened to be curled. Cicero alludes to the then prevailing custom among the Romans of reclining at the table on couches covered with roses. Ah, my jeweled buddies, there were Adonises in those days!
When Cleopatra, the perfumed serpent of the Nile, went into Cilicia to meet Mark Antony, she gave him for several days a festival such as the gods themselves would not blush to participate in. She had placed in the banqueting hall twelve couches large enough to hold three guests. Purple tapestry interwoven with gold covered the walls, golden vases admirably executed and enriched with precious stones stood on a magnificent gold floor. On the fourth day the queen carried her sumptuousness so far as to pay a talent ($600.00 in our money) for a quantity of roses, with which she caused the floor of the hall to be covered to a depth of eighteen inches. These flowers were retained in a very fine net, to allow the guests to walk over them. According to Suetonius, Nero (the fiddler of burning Rome and the tyrant par excellence of the ancient day) gave a fete at one time on the Gulf of Baiae when inns were established on the banks, and ladies of noble blood played hostesses to the occasion, the roses alone costing more than four million of sesterces, or $100,000. As the hag Tofana was the inventor of a new and deadly poison, so Lucius Aurelius Verus was the inventor of a new species of luxury. He had a most magnificent couch made, on which four raised cushions closed in on all sides by a very thin net, and made of leaves of roses. Heliogabalus, celebrated for every kind of vice and luxury, caused roses to be crushed with the kernels of the pine (pinus maritima) in order to increase the perfume. Roses were, by the order of this same emperor, scattered over the couches, halls and even the portierres of the palaces were decorated with the same. A profusion of flowers of every kind, lilies, violets, hyacinths, narcissus, etc., filled great quantities of space. Gallien, another cruel and luxurious princeling, lay under arbors of roses sometimes varying the performance by reclining on beds of roses. Before her downfall Rome could spend millions on her royal tables, support the dignity of a single senator at $80,000 a year, employ courts of sycophants and flatterers, impose taxes at the pleasure of her ruler, declare any complaint treason, marry her daughters for money and title, employ notaries to attest the fatness of her banquet fowls, punish a servant for disobedience and trivial offenses with death, while letting the monied thief and murderer go free with a mild reprimand, and making slaves and menials of the profoundest philosophers. The dancer and the buffoon received the homage and the adoration which in the golden age of Greece under the reign of Pericles only scholars, philosophers and artists received. Poverty in those days was crime, so in ours! Augustine of Rome was utterly ignored. "In exact proportion to the sum of money a man keeps in his chest," says Juvenal, "is the credit given to his oath." Verily, reader, these days at the end of the nineteenth century are greatly similar to those last days of Rome. Yvette Gilbert, the songstress of the vile, the recitationist of the vulgar, and Le Loie Fuller, the dancer of the serpentine, live off the fat of the land every day. The songstress and the kickeress get their thousands of dollars per week, while "the poor devil of a workingman" must be satisfied with a dollar a day cash and barrels of unlimited confidence. Caligula's horse wore a collar of pearls and drank from an ivory trough. Nero fiddled while Rome was burning. Cleveland when president drank his morning coffee from a cup worth $100 at least, and went fishing at Buzzard's Bay while the ship of state was plunging among the rocks and breakers of bonded indebtedness. Conde spent three thousand crowns to deck his palace at Chantilly. The Duke of Albuquerque had forty silver ladders. The expression then, as now, was often heard, "the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer." San Pedro, Cal., November 11.

Final Fantasy 16: A controversy and new info for Square Enix's RPG
Published 07 Nov 2022 By bxakid
New round of some world publications for the team at the bedside of FF16 led by the charismatic Naoki Yoshida. On the program, a lot of new information on Square Enix's PS5 exclusivity scheduled for next summer and a communication hiccup.
With each trailer, he throws stars in our eyes, the famous Final Fantasy XVI supposed to mark with a hot iron the beginning of a new generation for the mythical saga. But it's not for now since the game of Creative Business Unit 3 is only scheduled for next summer, with a release date that has not yet been specified, but it will not be long.
The lack of diversity is controversial
Ouch, little communication slippage around Final Fantasy XVI from Naoki Yoshida. When pointed out to him about the lack of diversity and representation of minorities in the game (via the trailers), the Japanese creator defends himself by arguing that it is simply because the action takes place on a single continent inspired by the Central Europe , in a medieval period. According to him, it is therefore impossible to have a representation as varied as on a global scale without going beyond the narrative limits that the developers have set themselves. An answer largely summarized here and it is to be found in its entirety on IGN . An answer that obviously did not convince many people on the networks.
The new interviews granted to the press allow all the same to learn more about the near future concerning FFXVI: thus the project would be completed up to 95% for the moment and a final release date should be announced by the end of end of the year. The lifespan is also mentioned and it would take 45 to 50 hours to complete the game in a straight line, 70 if you go for the 100%. Finally, a demo version was also put on the table, but Naoki Yoshida clarified that it would not be published too far from the game's release date, to keep the "momentum" and not keep players waiting too long. .

Posted 2016-11-20 ; filed under Democracy.
Jason Kottke reviewed an article by the philosopher Umberto Eco and summarized it as 14 features of eternal fascism.
These 14 points can be used as a way to ensure that each one of us does not tend toward fascism. As a core part of my work is the democratization of work, fascism is the opposite of what I am trying to achieve.
Only one of Eco's 14 points on what constitutes fascism needs to be present, so here are links on ways to co-opt these tendencies.
You have summarized the current situation very well in this article. I looked at Charles Handy's presentation on democracy and capitalism, and then followed up with another video, where he presented the plenary session for a Drucker conference a few years later. It would appear that his message has not wavered.
For the past few years, I've thought I must be mad, doing what I'm doing, focusing on job skills training for production workers, and providing a vehicle for them to develop competence and job mastery.
Sure, there are corporate reasons for embarking on the courses of action I recommend, but developing employee skills is still an essential component to achieving corporate results.
That's my rationale for developing disruptive technologies and systems that democratize learning, and give at least some of the responsibility for task training over to those who are the subject matter experts, who often unsung, are truly the muscle behind the organizations they work for.
Thank you for an ensightful article.
My pleasure; thank you, Shaun.


When you enroll your child in a New York City public school, you will be asked to fill out a Home Language Identification Survey (HLIS). If your child communicates in a language other than English, the Department of Education (DOE) will determine your child's English language proficiency with the New York State Identification Test for English Language Learners (NYSITELL). Depending on the results of that test, your child may be identified as an English Language Learner (ELL).
For up to two years after being considered proficient, your child will be a "former ELL" and will still be eligible for ELL services.
The New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE) provides three different programs for ELLs: Freestanding English as a New Language, Transitional Bilingual Education, and Dual Language. You can choose which program you would like for your child, regardless of what program your zoned school offers.
ENL is the most popular program.
Students are taught only in English.
Instruction is in both English and your child's home language.
As your child develops his/her English language skills, home language instruction will be phased out.
The goal of the program is bilingualism.
Target language of the program is based on demographics of the school and district.
Classes will be 50% in English, 50% in the target language.
Half of the students are ELLs and half are not. Priority for enrollment will be given to ELLs.

"Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss."

On our first full day in Rome, after a bit of a lie in, we ventured into town to see the sights. This was mainly going to involve an open top bus tour and a variety of other touristy places; in the end it was so hot and we were so like snails because of this that we managed the bus, Il Vittoriano, the Coliseum and a trip to the Trevi Fountain that ended badly because it was drained and scaffolded for works. Boo. This was fueled by frequent stops for coffee and coca cola, and shaded by a little parasol that I bought from the roof of the bus, which was thrown up to me by the vendor. In one cafe the waiter asked me to write the English translations of his granita flavours down for him, and then came back with a marker and a piece of paper and asked me to write the sign for his window because my handwriting was so neat. Love it!
Here are some pictures. Naturally, I took a lot. The first few are from the bus tour.
Temple of the Vestal Virgins. I remember this one from Latin class.
Castel Sant'Angelo, a big building next to the Vatican which looked intriguing. It's on the list for my next visit.
Il Vittoriano. This is nicknamed the Wedding Cake and is a monument to the country's first king, Victor Emmanuel II. They had some pretty vicious guards ensuring nobody made the mistake of sitting on the steps. There was also a lift here, to the roof of the building - if you're going to do one thing here, I would recommend this. I could have spent hours up there taking pictures of the skyline.
You can see our hotel in this one, directly behind the Pantheon, on the hill just in front of the mast.
Boy, was it hot! I did everything I could to keep my hair back out of my face, but most of the day, all I could think of was getting back to the hotel and throwing myself into the freezing cold plunge pool in the spa. First though, we braved the queues for the Coliseum - at least they were in the shade.
I love places like this. The weight of the history is really strong and I could have stood there for hours imagining the roars of the crowd and the desperation of the reluctant gladiators, and the euphoria of the ones who made a successful career out of it.
Much has been made recently in Rome of the rabid seagulls who have become extremely cheeky. Indeed, recently apparently one killed one of the doves the Pope released to symbolise peace in the world, in front of a horrified crowd. You couldn't make that up. They are certainly posers.
I think this is my favourite picture. Rampaging on a chariot into the blue.
We went home via a rather unpleasant tourist eatery staffed by rather over-familiar waiter. I am definitely a food snob and the night at la Pergola had done nothing to mitigate against this. However, it was followed up with ice cream, and I did go back and gratefully sweat out the day's grime in the steam room and then fling myself into the freezing plunge pool, while Tutt sipped her wildly over-priced orange juice and wrote post cards. A winning day.

The Blacklist Season 3 Episode 5 Review: Arioch Cain
Sean McKenna at October 29, 2015 11:00 pm . Updated at October 30, 2015 5:33 am .
Did anyone actually believe that Liz was in any real danger on The Blacklist Season 3 Episode 5?
Aside from Red, Liz is the other main star of the show, and it would be an extremely bold move if the series pulled a crazy fast one and killed off Liz. And that's just not going to happen.
So kicking off the hour with Liz's "death" wasn't some shock and unfortunately sending what seemed to be super-skilled assassins didn't raise the stakes or give the sense she was in any real danger.
Watch The Blacklist Season 3 Episode 5 Online
I get that with Red being concerned we as an audience should be concerned, because Red is always so on top of things and in control. But again, the most that would happen is Liz would get shot and wind up patched up by the end.
Now, if we were talking about someone targeting Aram or Harold or one of the other characters, then I'd be more apt to think that perhaps they might not survive the hour.
And that was pretty much a good chunk of the episode, Liz trying to avoid getting killed, and her and Red trying to shut down whoever was trying to kill her.
It was an interesting twist that it wasn't the cabal that set up the hit, which was the obvious choice considering its desire to eliminate Liz and Red. Making it a girl out for vengeance for the death of her mother, who she believed Liz had a hand in her killing, wasn't quite what I was expecting.
It wasn't really that exciting of a reveal, but at least there was a surprise when it came to ending the whole hunt for Liz.
Though, that girl was pretty quick to believe Liz when she denied it. That or maybe being held hostage by someone you believe was a killer might make you less likely to be so accusatory in person.
Of course, the cabal was still in play for the hour.
Mr. Solomon finally got his hands on Liz and Red, with the help of that vile Mr. Vargas. And he could have killed Liz and Red right then and there, but we all knew nothing would happen. At least Red indicated that he assumed they were still alive because Mr. Solomon needed something from them.
Thankfully, we got an awesome rescue from a very injured Dembe. The dude looked badass wielding those two guns and taking out bad guys.
Here's to hoping for a full recovery for the guy.
But it was Ressler of all people that is really going to be dipping his toes into enemy territory as he's being forced to work with the Director. It's an intriguing prospect, and I'm curious to see how it goes.
Obviously Ressler wants to capture Liz and bring her in, but he seems pretty clear that working with the Director is not on his bucket list. Things are going to get complicated real quick.
As for Tom's assignment, he's continued to weasel his way into Asher's life, even killing off one of the men extorting Asher in the hopes of sending a message. He wants the Russians to come to him.
I liked that we still got to see him going over his plan with Harold, but I could see him getting in deep enough in this cover that things wind up getting out of hand. After all, Asher and his fiancee didn't look too pleased.
So while I enjoyed seeing the other side stories, the main focus was on Liz trying to avoid being killed from well-trained assassins. And since I knew she would be OK, that really made the hour far less engaging and dramatic than it could have been.
Did you think Liz was in any danger? What's the cabal's next move? Sound off below, and be sure to follow in the hunt for Liz when you watch The Blacklist online now.

Frontier Village was a  amusement park in San Jose, California, that operated from 1961 to September 1980.  It was located at 4885 Monterey Road, at the intersection with Branham Lane.  The site is now Edenvale Garden Park, next to Hayes Mansion, and was once part of the sprawling Hayes Family Estate.

History

The park was built by Joseph Zukin, Jr. of Palo Alto, who was inspired by a family trip to Disneyland in 1959. In 1958, Zukin sold 110,000 shares in the Frontier Village corporation at $5 per share; the first designer was Paul Murphy, who also had a full time job at Santa Clara University as director of publications. After Murphy found himself too busy, design responsibility was turned over to Laurence Hollings, who had experience designing film sets at Columbia Pictures  and Paramount Pictures, and nature habitats at the California Academy of Sciences. He described the park as a "sort of tongue-in-cheek approach to the Wild West."

The park was initially to be built along El Camino Real in Sunnyvale, California, according to plans drawn up in 1958 by the Frontier Village Corporation, founded by Zukin, Hawley Smith, and Michael Khourie. Zukin declared "it will be designed as a children's dream of the Old West, where the child (and his parents) can actually experience the thrills and excitement of the West in an atmosphere especially created for fun and relaxation." Zukin later announced in April 1959 that Frontier Village would be built in San Jose. Ground was broken for the park on August 1, 1960, and it was laid out so carefully that only four trees were removed.

The park, developed at a cost of $2 million, opened on October 21, 1961, surrounded by a high barricade of logs, and was themed to the Old West. Admission was $0.90 for adults, $0.45 for children (older than 12), and free (for children under 12). The initial public mascot of the park was an unnamed "Deputy Marshal" who greeted guests and saved them from dangerous outlaws in daily mock shootouts staged on the hour, every hour, at the park's Main Street. The actors were equipped with actual firearms (Colt Single Action Army revolvers and double-barrel shotguns) firing blanks filled with black powder. Retaining the water in an artificial canal for one of the early rides, the Indian Canoe, proved troublesome until the canal was lined with cement. Although the park was open year-round, operating hours were switched to weekends only during the off-season (fall to spring). More than one million people visited the park in its first three years of operation.

The 1964 summer season opened on Saturday, June 20, marked by a special "Family Fun Day". Frontier Village was praised as "spotless, rarely jammed ... one can take in all of the rides and attractions within about four hours." Jim Bakich, a first-year student at San Jose City College, attempted to set a world's record for the longest continuous Ferris wheel ride in 1965, vowing to spend two full weeks aboard the park's wheel. Other self-claimed world records set at the park in 1966 include the finish of the longest foot-propelled scooter journey ( from Big Sur, by Byron Jones) and largest pizza ( in diameter). Dennis the Menace visited the park with his parents in the story "The Park Lark", initially published for the March 1970 issue; while there, he interacted with the marshal, an outlaw, other guests, and visited several attractions, including the Rainbow Falls trout fishing pond and the Antique Cars ride.

When the park opened in 1961, it was surrounded by undeveloped land. A decade later, the park was surrounded by urban sprawl; Zukin lacked the necessary funds to expand and sold Frontier Village to Rio Grande Industries for US$1.7 million in 1973, although he stayed on to manage the park through 1977. That year, Charles Jacques rated the park as the 45th best in the United States, behind local competitors Marriott's Great America (#12) and Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk (#30). It was also the first year of operation for the Apache Whirlwind, the park's first (and only) roller coaster. Jeff Block and Rena Clark set a new record for Ferris wheel endurance starting on July 1, 1978, traveling  on the park's wheel in 29,744 revolutions over 37 days. Block would break the record in 1993 with a 38-day ride on the same Ferris wheel, which had been relocated to the Orange County Fair after Frontier Village's closure.

Characters from the Hanna-Barbera cartoons, including Fred Flintstone, Barney Rubble, and Scooby Doo, were added to the park in 1979. Rio Grande announced plans in 1977 to expand the park to  on park-owned land at a cost of $10 million, including on-site restaurants and concessions; however, those plans were denied by the San Jose City Council, unless the park also funded $1.8 million for traffic improvements. According to Zukin, the protests and opposition from the park's new residential neighbors, who complained about the noise and fought development plans, led Rio Grande to drop the expansion. Lawsuits from nearby homeowners coupled with lower-than-expected park revenues, skyrocketing San Jose land values, and competition from Marriott's Great America, which opened in neighboring Santa Clara in 1976, signaled the end for the little park.  With the high property values, Rio Grande could make more money selling off the land to developers than it could by running the park.

In 1980, the undeveloped land and Frontier Village were sold to a land developer, the Bren Company. Despite a petition drive that collected 10,000 signatures by September 19, 1980, which would have declared the site a historical landmark, Rio Grande announced the park would be closed. During its final days, it held a special event titled "The Last Roundup", attracting 30,000 visitors per day. Television advertisements publicizing the last days included a stagecoach ride and a prisoner lamenting that he would miss the park's closing. The park closed its gates for the last time on September 28, 1980. The Bren Company held a public auction in October 1980, disposing of all the rides, buildings, and lumber that made up Frontier Village.

Legacy
Bren built a residential development just west of present-day Edenvale Garden Park on the site of the planned expansion; the condominium complex is named "Frontier Village".

All the buildings were removed from the amusement park and San Jose's Edenvale Garden Park now exists at the former location of the amusement park.  Little is recognizable from the former Frontier Village, but items such as concrete boulders from the artificial river remain half-buried. In April 2008, artist Jon Rubin installed the Frontier Village Birdhouses, five scale models of Frontier Village buildings and landmarks placed where the original structures were during the park's operating period. Each of the five scale buildings (Railroad Station; Main Entrance Log Towers; Mine Ride; Old School House; Main Street) is a functioning birdhouse and were built by Vince Duke. The present-day Edenvale Garden Park has play structures themed for the amusement park's railroad.

Some signage and ride vehicles have remained in the hands of private collectors, while other vehicles were stored at the nearby Happy Hollow Park & Zoo, to be sold later in 1980 at auction. Two fans started a website to gather history, photographs, and testimonials in 2000. Since 2001 former employees and fans have held a reunion each summer at Edenvale Garden Park to reminisce about the amusement park and a group calling themselves the "Fall Guys" re-enact the park's gunbattles; the reunions were started by Mat Lindstedt. Shaughnessy McGehee of Campbell, California built a miniature version of the park in his own backyard over two decades. He built miniature versions of the Silver Dollar Saloon, General's Store, and Schoolhouse. McGehee also collected Frontier Village memorabilia, including the Crazy Horse, three of the eight Antique Autos (with his most prized being the Yellow Maxwell), the Frontier Village lettering from the front entrance of the park, and the original Silver Dollar Saloon doors. The replica closed in 2015, after McGehee sold his house and moved to Oregon.

Frontier Village's  narrow gauge train, originally built by Arrow Development, was bought in 1981 by Jerry Burke, who made it the central focus of his 10 acre themed 1880 Western themed Burke Junction shopping center in Cameron Park, approximately  east of Sacramento. It was abandoned in 2000 after Burke sold the property and did not run again until the Glasser family purchased the shopping center in 2008; they spent $150,000 rehabilitating the train and announced in June 2010 the train would resume service; the inaugural run was on August 21. On January 8, 2018, the Burke Junction train collided with a minivan; although there were no injuries, the train was damaged, requiring extensive repairs.

The "It Takes a Village" exhibit featuring Frontier Village was held at the New Museum Los Gatos in 2015; artifacts and memorabilia were shown alongside similar ephemera from defunct local amusement parks, including Santa's Village (Scotts Valley) and The Lost World.

Frontier Village is the subject of an eponymous song by singer-songwriters Jeff Larson and Jeffrey Foskett, released as part of the 2018 album Elua Aloha.

Rides and Attractions

As originally constructed, the  park was divided into the  amusement area and  parking lot; the remaining  were reserved for expansion. The park was laid out with a central square and a perimeter railroad that traversed bridges and canyons; the square included an Old West village with a stage for live performances.

These Unique Places are Baffling Scientists
Greta, The Getaway
We've all heard tales about phenomenon that are mysterious, the stuff of legend even. And there are certain places around the world that baffle even scientists. Whether it's a side trip or a full-on pilgrimage just for the hell of it, travel to these spots can be a lot of fun, requiring immersion in local lore to fully appreciate their strangeness. Many of these sites are also impossibly beautiful, making the journey well worth it to experience their special magic.
01Stone Spheres, Costa Rica
Like the rest of Central and South America, Costa Rica has an extensive pre-Columbian history. But whether these polished stone spheres discovered in the Diquis Delta region in the 30s were fashioned by tribal people, or are a naturally occurring phenomenon, is unsure. Made from gabbro igneous rock, which makes up the Earth's crust, the spheres are various sizes, and up to 6 feet in diameter and weighing as much as 16 tons. Legends suggest the orbs came from Atlantis; others that they hide treasure, however, the science around their origins is inconclusive.
02Patom Crater, Siberia
Dmitry Semenov / Wikipedia
Is it a weird geological formation or something a meteorite created by that slamming into the Earth? And what about recent scientific theories that suggest it is the result of an underground magma explosion? No one knows for sure, but the Patomskiy or Patom Crater near Irkutsk, Siberia is the stuff of legend. Those who live in this bleak region consider it a source of evil, so stay well away from the 131-foot high nest structure with its round egg-like centerpiece.
03Nazca Lines, Peru
Jim Dyson / Getty Images
The famous Nazca Line geoglyphs, cut into the hillsides near Nazca, Peru are considered the work of sophisticated extraterrestrial artisans. Lately, they've been credited to the Nazca people living in the region around 500 BCE. Portraying figures, animals and geometric designs, the line drawings are huge. Early aviators used them as navigation aids. They are now believed to have been created by removing black surface rock to expose the white sand beneath.
04Fairy Circles, Namibia
Looking like footprints made by giants, or intentionally circular art installations constructed from sand and plants, the Fairy Circles of the Namib Desert have baffled scientists for decades. But they may be the result of nature's complex chain of action and reaction. Ranging in size and sprawling across a hundred miles of barren desert, the circles the above-ground expression of underground termite activity.
05Eternal Flame Falls, USA
jimfeng / Getty Images
Seems like it could be a sentimental human construct, a memorial perhaps, but this flame and cascade combo is a natural phenomenon. Flames burning in close proximity to falls can be the product of a natural gas source, and that may be the case at this location in Shale Creek Preserve near Orchard Park, New York. But the legend that the flame was lit hundreds of years ago by Native Americans is much more romantic.
06Plain of Jars, Laos
AL-Travelpicture / Getty Images
This enigmatic scattering of megalithic stone jars first came to the attention of scientists and archaeologists in the 1930s. Scientists have dated them back to 500 BCE, but are uncertain how the more than 3000 jars, some as tall as 10 feet, were transported and arranged in the current location in northern Laos. Local legend credits a race of giants who carved the jugs to store wine. Other theories suggest the jars form a burial site or a reservoir for catching rainwater.
07Hessdalen Lights, Norway
For the past forty years, the remote Norwegian town of Hessdalen has enjoyed the same kind of scrutiny from UFO and paranormal enthusiasts as has Roswell, New Mexico. Here, the night skies are frequently illuminated by colored balls of light that move across the sky, sometimes hovering for hours at a time. Scientists are as baffled as UFO hunters because unlike the Northern Lights, the movement patterns of the Hessdalen Lights suggest intent. The area is now subject to intense scientific research with tracking equipment in place to study the phenomenon.
08Great Serpent Mound, USA
HikingPhotographer / Getty Images
The origins of Ohio's Great Serpent Mound remain shrouded in controversy. That may be because the site combines two phenomena, one natural, one man-made. The mound was built on top of a crater created when a meteorite struck the Earth around 300 million years ago. Archaeologists date the mound itself to about 300 years BCE. A quarter of a mile long and visibly shaped like a snake, it is thought to have served a spiritual purpose for native Americans in the area. No one can be sure though as no artifacts, from burials or any other ritual, have ever been recovered from the site.
09Lake Hillier, Australia
This bubblegum pink lake in south-western Australia has been the source of intense speculation since it was first discovered in 1802 by explorers. Scientists have yet to identify the exact cause for the lake's strikingly bright hue. There is speculation that it is due to the growth of some kind of micro-organism within the lake's hyper salinated water. Hillier is located in a remote nature preserve, but adventurous tourists still visit to swim in its strange waters.
10Crooked Forest, Poland
TeleMakro Fotografie (Ina Hensel) / Getty Images
This grove of bizarrely shaped pine trees grows near the town of Gryfino in Poland just at the border with Germany. Against the laws of nature, the trunks bend sharply just above the ground and then curve gently before resuming vertical growth. The trees were planted in the 30s and it's said in the region that human intervention of some kind is responsible for their improbable shape. Some say the trees were deformed to provide already curved plants for boat or furniture building, but no one can figure out how it was done.


We tend to perceive the term "emotional baggage" with a negative connotation. We use it with friends when assuring them it's not their fault when the person they are dating has fallen off the face of the Earth or exhibits red flags. "It's not your fault. That person just comes with a lot of baggage." We use it when talking about dating people who have been married before or who have children; in this case, we're referring to their kids as literal baggage, but why? Why does emotional baggage always have to have a negative connotation?
It's hard for many of us to look at a past relationship that might not have ended on the best terms as a learning lesson, especially when the wounds are fresh, but sometimes, the worst breakups teach us the most.
The end of my first long-term relationship was so hard and mentally exhausting I ended up sitting across from a therapist that specializes in self-esteem, anxiety and depression. Our first session consisted of me rehashing the end of my relationship in between heaving sobs and blowing my nose. Together, for the next two years, we worked on the baggage I came out of this relationship with; issues with self-esteem, being a people-pleaser and keeping my true feelings inside, fearful to rock the boat.

Brighton, U.K. indie pop/dream pop band Fear of Men began in early 2011 as an extension of work Jessica Weiss was making for her art degree. Weiss had been making ambient soundtrack recordings for her short films, and met guitarist Daniel Falvey when he came to the exhibition of these films. The two art students started working toward a more pop sound in bedroom recordings, and eventually made a series of lo-fi demos designed to lure in other players to be in the band. Almost immediately, the bait was taken by Alex Flynn-O'Neill, who joined in on bass, and Michael Miles on drums. Weiss took the role of lead vocalist and also played guitar. The group quickly completed a well-received cassette and quickly rose to acclaim through a series of support gigs and a string of 7″ releases on smaller indie labels such as Sex Is Disgusting and Italian Beach Babes. Fear of Men perfected their woozy sound, falling somewhere between the moody shoegaze of '90s acts like Curve and Lush and the beachy indie currents of their own era. A compilation of various cassette and 7″ releases called Early Fragments was released in early 2013 while the band prepared to record its proper debut album. By this point some bandmembers had relocated to London, and some shifts in lineup occurred as they embarked on their first international tours. The band showed up as the initial trio of Weiss, Falvey, and Miles on their 2014 debut LP, Loom, aided by various string and woodwind players on several tunes. The album received critical acclaim, and the group toured North America and Europe, opening for the Pains of Being Pure at Heart. Two years later, Fear of Men released their second album, Fall Forever.

Trump Says He Hopes Supreme Court Defeats Obamacare (REPORT)
(WatchDogReport.org) – Democrats have been on a campaign to paint President Donald Trump as a monster because he wants to end the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The Left says he wants to rip insurance away from millions and essentially kill them. The president has been pushing back on their narrative for years, but the media (of course) drowns his message.
The presidential campaign has given Trump the perfect opportunity to explain to the country why he wants to get rid of Obamacare, and what he plans to do after. That's exactly what he's been doing.
What Trump Wants to Do
A new interview on "60 Minutes" with the president is set to air on Sunday, October 25. During it, Trump discussed the healthcare bill passed by the Obama Administration. He told CBS' Lesley Stahl he wants to see the Supreme Court overturn the law because it's a "disaster."
Trump said he's going to introduce his own healthcare bill after the high court hands down its ruling. The president promised his legislation will be "much less expensive" than the ACA and "will take care of people with preexisting conditions."
Trump Hits Back During Debate
During the October 22 presidential debate, Biden attacked Trump over healthcare. The president defended himself and repeated the problems he has with the ACA. Then, he told viewers the Democratic nominee will implement socialized medicine if given the chance.
Biden is pushing for a public option that will leave American taxpayers holding the bill.
Supreme Court to Hear the Case
In August, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the GOP case against the ACA. Oral arguments are set for November 10. Republican states and the Trump Administration are arguing the law is not constitutional and want the court to strike it down.
The court most likely won't issue a ruling until the spring or summer of 2021.

The Wally Ratings :: Ireland 56 Italy 19
By Tom Savage9 min read
Long story short – Ireland beat Italy out the gate in a manner that many would have predicted before the game.
Pre-game, Conor O'Shea posited that if Ireland and Italy both played to their best, then Ireland would probably win. I haven't done the maths on what would happen if Ireland played mostly to their best and Italy played mostly to their worst, but if I did, I'd probably end up with the scoreline we saw here; 56-19.
So what does one make of it all? Well, Ireland were quite good for 55 minutes, scored some lovely tries and looked pretty ruthless in small stretches. The wheels started to come off a small bit once Schmidt emptied the bench. Not in a disastrous way by any means, but we definitely lost shape once Murray and Sexton departed the field – in attack, but also defence.
The 19 points we conceded in the second half will bother the coaches (and the squad) because they betrayed a "looseness" that didn't fully reflect Ireland's dominance in this game – but I'll get to that later.
There were a few questions raised ahead of this game.
Would Ireland attack with more cohesion than they managed against France? Would Ireland earn a bonus point? Is starting the same backline as last week a mistake? Would there be a hangover after "Le Drop"?
Those questions were answered fairly emphatically inside the first 35 minutes. Ireland ran in four of their eight tries, could have scored two or three more and beat Italy around the Aviva Stadium with meticulous cruelty, like the Italians owed Joe Schmidt money. It was a first-half performance that will probably raise questions about Italy's place at this level – wrongly, I might add – but that's how off the pace Italy looked in that first half. Despite the disparity in ability between the two sides, having a bonus point wrapped up after 35 minutes is a rare enough event at test level. In truth, Italy looked like they had no business even being on the field in that first 40 minutes, such was the yawning chasm in quality between the two sides.
Ireland had all the quick ball they could ever want, more possession than they knew what to do with and looked dangerous on every phase. Bundee Aki and Robbie Henshaw were making real ground on their carries and Murray/Sexton were making good decisions and moving Ireland around the pitch with the kind of IQ and precision that we've come to see as standard from them. With all that going Ireland's way, the tries just started to flow. There was no great moment of pressure that "broke" Italy.
It just wasn't needed.
Defensive Lapse
When the bonus point was wrapped up, this became a mini-game of points accumulation and managing the tumult of a full bench switch. A lot of Ireland's defensive issues came in the aftermath of what looked like an unplanned backline reshuffle. I'll focus a small bit on the Italian tries for a small while.
Henshaw's injury was desperately unfortunate in a few ways. First, for the player, who had a stormer up until the act of scoring his second try seemed to pop his shoulder. It also meant that Ireland had to reshuffle into an emergency alignment. Earls going to 13 outside Aki probably wasn't the "A" plan here, and that meant we had Larmour coming into a more dangerous area of the pitch from a defensive perspective. I think the plan was to bring Larmour on at fullback, where he'd have a bigger attacking impact closer to the point of the ruck and be less vulnerable to moments like this on the outside edge.
I don't know if Larmour will come in for the same criticism that Stockdale did but it goes to illustrate my point that the wing is the most high-risk area of the pitch to defend. Larmour was beaten by a power step in space after a kick transition – it happens. Larmour will do the exact same to many a winger during his career. He'll learn from this episode and get better.
The annoying thing from Schmidt's perspective is that two of the three Italian tries came from kick transition – the same thing that cost us against France.
A somewhat aimless clearance from Kearney off Ireland's restart possession lead to the first try, which was finished well by Italy;
How did Ireland get caught on the openside with short numbers like this?
Because Italy ran Kearney's exit (below) back to the side of the field where most of Ireland's lineup had been based in the phases directly after the restart;
From there, they pinned Ireland on the left half of the field and got the ball to the right half where Ireland had short numbers and a bad alignment (Leavy defending too much space).
It was a good turnover attack. It's also an example of how a flyhalf puts his team in position to defend well. Would Sexton have made that pass back into the 22 at a pace that put Earls and then Kearney under pressure? Probably not. That isn't to excuse Kearney's kick – which wasn't great at all – but little bits like that are the things Carbery will learn as he gets exposed to this level. And they don't end there.
Italy's second try came directly in the aftermath of this exit from Carbery;
That gives Minozzi all the time he needs to have a crack off Larmour on the outside edge. A lot of people wondered where the Irish cover was on this kick – they were on the other side of the pitch trying to work across.
It's a steep learning curve for young lads, even against a team like Italy that are a mile away from where they need to be but these moments can almost be more instructive than "good" moments and there's nowhere that gives harder lessons than the wing and the #10 shirt.
They're the little bits that'll frustrate Ireland when they look back at this game.
But let's not forget that we put away some lovely scores too – this one was my pick;
A super-stack on the short side mixed with precise hands and beautiful running lines culminated in a lovely try for Conor Murray, who had three touches on this play. Jack Conan's weave infield and pass out the pack was the killer moment here, but it'll be a hugely satisfying team score for Ireland to look back on.
What did we learn? In simple terms, we learned something we already knew – that Ireland are 30 points better than Italy. We learned that we're still vulnerable to giving up kick transition errors, but I really do believe that is eminently fixable.
Ultimately, this was a job done. Five points were needed, and they were achieved with ease. We won't get carried away with the good or the bad – it was that kind of game – but I'm sure there'll be plenty for Ireland to discuss on Monday.
The Slam is still on. Come on down, Wales.
The Wally Ratings: Italy (h)
The Wally Ratings explainer page is here.
As per usual, players are rated based on their time on the pitch, if they were playing notably out of position, and on the overall curve of the team performance. I didn't rate Tadhg Furlong due to his injury in the 3rd minute or Cian Healy due to being on the pitch for 13 minutes.
Jack McGrath, Rory Best, Iain Henderson, Dan Leavy, Jack Conan, Rob Kearney; Sean Cronin, Quinn Roux, CJ Stander, Kieran Marmion, Joey Carbery, Jordan Larmour
I realise I spent a large part of the above criticizing Joey Carbery, but I'm reluctant to actually rate him too low for this one. He's 22, has 24 Leinster caps and 7 Irish caps. He doesn't play a lot at #10 in games of consequence for Leinster and it showed here. He had a great hand in Stockdale's first try, was perfect off the tee and showed some good attacking instincts. He had a few rash passing options (including right at the end) and one bad kick transition, but he'll hopefully learn all he can from those experiences. If you're not going to try out a promising young lad at home against Italy, when will you try him?
Jack Conan and CJ Stander had a decent half each. Conan showed some nice subtle touches, especially for his assist on Murray's try. Stander brought a different type of presence from #8 – blunt force trauma. He carried hard around the fringes and got some good heavy gain line.
Dan Leavy had some decent moments here. He got caught for Italy's first try but he was very busy at the ruck on both sides of the ball. I didn't think he got the rub of the green from Poite on some of his jackals, but his work in the build-up to Earls try was high quality.
Leavy's a real brute over the ball and is developing nicely.
Jordan Larmour had a lot of hype coming into this game but you earn your hype, and he certainly did. He didn't have a fairytale debut by any means but he showed some nice flashes of his ability. He's still learning who he is as a player, but once he finds out there'll be few that'll stop him.
A good display from all these lads and they played their part in a healthy 5-0 match point win.
Andrew Porter, Devin Toner, Peter O'Mahony, Conor Murray, Johnny Sexton, Jacob Stockdale, Bundee Aki, Robbie Henshaw, Keith Earls
When Tadhg Furlong limped off after three minutes, you could have been forgiven for feeling a little trepidatious at the task presented to Andrew Porter. Whatever happened, the 22-year-old tighthead convert would have to do 77 minutes against a game Italian pack in his 4th cap. He handled that task with aplomb, with strong scrummaging and a number of impactful, power carries the highlight.
Devin Toner and Peter O'Mahony had excellent games. They were the top passing forwards on the pitch and supported the Irish quick ball effort all day. Quality lineout work too.
Conor Murray and Johnny Sexton were just smooth. They generally took the right options and executed what they had to when they had to. As good a halfback pairing as there is anywhere in world rugby.
Jacob Stockdale had a really effective game. Two tries were the obvious highlight but he'll be pleased with his contribution around the pitch too. His confidence to back his pace on the outside after a long-range intercept was great to see. Six tries in six games? That's as good as he could have dreamed.
Bundee Aki had a good day out here. He got through a mountain of defensive work in the middle of the pitch, scored a try and set one up. He looks more than solid at this level.
Robbie Henshaw had a fantastic game up until the point that he injured his shoulder scoring his second try. I'm still not quite sure whether he's a 12 or a 13 but he showed what he can do as a midfield strike runner in this game.
Another day, another big day out for Keith Earls. Sure, there was his customary try against Italy, but that was backed up by a mountain of work under the high ball, solid defensive positioning, slick hands in the wide channels and this bit of selfless, savage work rate.
Ireland had the game won. There was a minute left. Why deny Bellini (no slouch himself) a bonus point try under the posts? Keith Earls could easily have given this a cursory chase before easing off and saving himself the lung burn. But that's not Keith Earls.
He knows that his job is to stop things like this from happening, so that's what he was going to do. He chased him down like the T1000 running after Arnie. Look at him wobbling back to his feet after making the perfect stop and gassing himself out after 79 minutes of hard work; show that GIF to your kids if they play rugby or any sport, really. That's what their coach talks about when he talks about "desire" and "work rate".
Now, take a minute to let Conor Murray and Johnny Sexton tell you who the man is.
Excellent performance from all of these guys.

A successful job interview occurs in three time frames: before, during, and after. That might sound rather odd, given that when you're sitting in the employer's office you are in present time. But in reality something important occurs in each of these zones. This article will offer you an amazing tip for each one.
Amazing Job Interview Tip #1: Prepare and practice BEFORE the interview.
A few days before, list some of the questions you're likely to be asked regarding your job-related experience, your communication and leadership skills, your ability to resolve conflict, and your behavior in a crisis. Practice them with a friend or in front of a mirror. And of course, plan your clothing, shoes and make-up (for women) and your driving route well ahead of time. If you need directions to the location, print them from the Internet unless you have a navigation system for your car. If you need to have your suit or dress dry cleaned take care of that a week or so before the interview, as well. Allow plenty of time for all these details so you won't feel stressed or confused on the day of your interview. You'll want to walk into the meeting fresh, relaxed, and confident.
Amazing Job Interview Tip #2: Listen and speak up DURING the interview.
The moment you enter the room, approach the employer with a friendly handshake and look him or her in the eye. Be present throughout the meeting, smiling often, listening carefully, speaking up with clear answers to questions, and taking in some of the objects you see in the room. For example, suppose the hiring manager has a golf trophy on a shelf or a familiar magazine on a side table. Such items can make excellent conversation-starters. During the first few minutes of a job interview, the hiring manager will get to know you. Extend yourself with comments, questions, or acknowledgment regarding the things that catch your eye.
Amazing Job Interview Tip #3: Send a thank you note AFTER the interview.
The time after the job interview is as important, and maybe more so, than the times before and during. This is when you show the interviewer your appreciation for his or her interest in you and the time extended to get to know you and evaluate you for the open position. Send a hand-written thank you note that is warm and friendly. You needn't go on for two pages, but what you do say should be genuine. And if possible add a little information gift—such as an article related to something you talked about during the meeting, or a web site with some data that might appeal to the hiring manager. This small gesture speaks volumes about your thoughtfulness and attentiveness as a person.
Take advantage of these three time-tested amazing tips for job interview success and you'll be amazed at how much you raise the stakes in your favor, not only for having a successful interview but for being invited back for another.


The Angels of Mons: Did they save British soldiers in the First World War?
Many people believed so at the time. The First World War – and the following years – saw a huge increase in the belief of spiritualism and the supernatural.
We can understand this. So many young men were killed in the conflict and it was comforting for their loved ones to believe that they had gone to'a better place' — and that they could be communicated with through mediums and spiritualists.
Then in 1918 came the violent flu pandemic that lasted for two years and, it's said, killed approximately five percent of the world's population. Again, it was understandable that the bereaved preferred to think of their lost family and friends being in a better place and hence, the craze for spiritualism and communicating with the dead was enormous and taken very seriously indeed.
This had its roots at the beginning of the Great War – in 1914 – when it was reported that a battalion of British soldiers fighting in Europe had been saved thanks to the intervention of angelic, ghostly beings.
The soldier was in his early thirties. He was in hospital in England because of the injuries he had sustained in battle. He recounted that the event had taken place 'on or about' August 28th. His battalion was expecting the German cavalry to charge. Because the German aeroplanes knew where the English soldiers were, they remained in place. The weather was warm and the skies were clear and that evening and the soldier was on duty along with nine other men; the remainder of the battalion were resting in the woods nearby. He recounted that an officer came to them and asked them if they'd seen anything astonishing.
The officer seemed to be greatly anxious and without waiting for any further conversation moved on to another group of soldiers. The soldier who was recounting this said that he and his colleagues thought the officer had meant that he was asking them whether they had seen any unusual German activity.
But the officer returned and pointed out that there was a strange light in the sky.The soldier reported that he had seen three distinct shapes form and that they appeared to have wings and were dressed in flowing robes. The men stood and watched this phenomenon for about thirty five minutes.
Another soldier, a lieutenant colonel described as 'distinguished' also write a report of seeing supernatural beings on the evening of 27th August. But what he saw were squadrons of ghostly cavalry who were riding alongside him and his men. Three of his fellow officers and many of the soldiers under his command saw them too, he claimed, and they all thought at first that these were real cavalry soldiers.
Machen was a writer who heard the rumours about divide intervention and supernatural creatures aiding the British war effort. He wrote a short story about it that was published in a popular newspaper in September 1914, the month following the supposed sightings.
Although it was written in the first person, and as an eye witness account, Machen was adamant that it was fiction.
It was something that irritated Machen for the rest of his life. He didn't consider his story as being particularly well-written and yet it was what he became well known for. He repeatedly insisted that the work was fiction.
But the population wanted to believe that God was on the side of the allies and protecting them from the Germans. It was even preached from the pulpits of the day. Long and scholarly articles and pamphlets were written explaining that the story about the Angels of Mons were true. Several eye witness accounts were reported, although no-one could ever provide any proof and accounts varied quite considerably.
God was their ally against the evil Germans. It's easy to understand how this rumour became 'fact' and contributed to the morale of the public. It even became generally accepted 'knowledge' that a supreme being, angles or spirits had stepped in to save England from the Hun.
Of course, there are many explanations. The soldiers who claimed to have seen these phenomena were tired, under stress and in fear for their lives. There are many types of weather systems that can be seen as signs from above. There were no official reports pertaining to any of these sightings or miracles and yet they were widely believed and became 'common knowledge' both at home in Britain and on the battlefields.
The stories gave hope and optimism to both the population back home and to soldiers out in the fray in Europe. There was a public outcry when Machen explained that his published story was fiction – very few people believed this to be the case.
Because the story was published in a popular newspaper right at the beginning of the war, the story spread rapidly. New soldiers who were heading out to Europe to the battlefields had heard about the phenomenon – and believed (or wanted to believe) it.
It might be the case that it would be far too cynical of me to suspect that this was deliberately manufactured propaganda to bolster the morale of the soldiers and those on the home front but if that was the case, it was an inspired idea.
