Die heutige Diakonische Einrichtung Pollertshof ist aus der Hofstelle Pollert, einer der vier ältesten Stätten hervorgegangen, die Keimzelle der ostwestfälischen Stadt Preußisch Oldendorf in Nordrhein-Westfalen sind. Die Anstalt Pollertshof wurde als Rettungshaus 1851 gegründet.

Entwicklung
Das im Jahr 1851 gegründete Rettungshaus für verwahrloste oder vernachlässigte Kinder, Mädchen und Jungen, ist die älteste Diakonische Einrichtung der evangelischen Kirche von Westfalen (Gedenktafel), ab 1890 Erziehungsanstalt. Von 1930 bis 1975 wurde die Anstalt als Alters- und Pflegeheim genutzt, und ist seit 1977 Jugendfreizeitheim und Tagungsstätte des Evangelischen Kirchenkreises Lübbecke.

Leitgedanke
Das Rettungshaus Pollertshof verdankt seine Entstehung dem durch Johann Hinrich Wichern überregional geschärften Bewusstsein zu sozialen Missständen, der Wirkung des Erweckungspredigers Johann Heinrich Volkening auf die Bevölkerung der Grafschaft Ravensberg und aktiven Christen in Oldendorf und Umgebung. Die Erweckungsbewegung war volkstümlich geprägt:

Verwirklichung
Wichern entsandte auf Bitten des Oldendorfer Pfarrers Gustav Friedrich Hartmann (1813–1896) den erfahrenen Rauhhäusler Ernst Temming (1822–1890), der die Anregung aus dem Kirchspiel Oldendorf verwirklichte. Vorgeschichte, Bemühungen der Pastoren Rothert (1806–1883) und Hartmann sowie die Förderung durch Oldendorfer Bürger und Werdegang des Pollertshofs seit Aufnahme der ersten Zöglinge im Jahre 1851 bis 1930 beschreibt Ulrich Rottschäfer, Erweckung und Diakonie in Minden-Ravensberg. Das Rettungshaus Pollertshof 1851–1930. Diakon Groeneveld wurde im Jahre 1930 nach Auflösung der Anstaltsschule Hausvater des Alters- und Pflegeheims. Pollertshof wurde in landwirtschaftlicher Weise betrieben. Friedrich Wilhelm Buckesfeld schildert eindrucksvoll im zwanzigseitigen Kapitel "In einer neuen Welt" seine dreijährige Gehilfenzeit 1877–1880 auf Pollerthof unter Ernst Temming. Buckesfeld: Auf Wicherns Pfaden. 1934, S. 26–46.

Die Hofstelle Pollert

Ursprung
Die Altbauernstätte Pollert ist eine der ersten in der Ansiedlung Oldendorf in sächsischer Zeit, die in der Amtsperiode (969–996) des Bischofs Milo von Minden als Aldenthorpe erwähnt wird. In einer Urkunde des Kaisers Otto II. vom 12. Februar 974 werden vier eng benachbarte Villen genannt; eine ist die Stätte Pollert die in Ober Oldendorf an für Ackerbau günstigem Platz und zugleich an der "Oldendorfer Bache" gelegen ist. Ihre hohe Wirtschaftskraft wird im Kataster von 1686 mit dem höchsten Kontributionsrang 1 bewertet, später Stätte Oldendorf, Linkenstraße (Bergstraße) Nr. 1.

Die Bezeichnung der Stätte könnte sich von poll ableiten, nach Jellinghaus ein "abgerundeter, ragender Hügel" – andernorts ist die Lagebezeichnung "uf'm Polle" gebräuchlich. Tatsächlich liegt der Hof zu Ober Oldendorf an einer merklichen Geländestufe oberhalb der Mitte mit der St. Dionysius Kirche der späteren Akzisestadt Preußisch Oldendorf.

Der Geschlechtername Pollert ist in zwei Urkunden vom 12. Dezember 1492 erstmals schriftlich nachgewiesen. Gerke Pollard ist Mitstifter für die Errichtung der Stelle eines Kaplans. Der Hof war Lehnsgut der Linie Gesmold der Familien von dem Bussche; schon in einem Teilungsvertrag von 1446 der Familien wird diese Stätte vermutlich durch Detert Polhert angesprochen.

Die Stätte Pollert zu Ober Oldendorf ist nach 1501 eigen Haus Groß Engershausen; denn Johan von der Recke zu Drensteinfurt verkauft in dem Jahr Steinmanns, Pollerts und Hoyers Erbe zu Oldendorf, also drei eng benachbarte Stätten, an Reineke von Schloen genannt Tribbe (zu Fiegenburg).

Zur Familiengeschichte
Nach einer Rekonstruktion aus Einträgen im Familien-Register vom Kirchspiel Oldendorf, 1630 etc. sollten taufnamentlich nicht bekannte Eltern auf der Stätte Pollert vor 1668 geheiratet und drei Söhne und eine Tochter haben. Der Vater stirbt nach 1682, und die Mutter geht die Ehe mit dem 15. September 1652 getauften Henrich Cording (Koring) aus Schröttinghausen ein; er hat die Stätte bis zur Großjährigkeit des Erben unter. Ihr Sohn erster Ehe, der am 29. September 1675 getaufte Frantz Moritz Pollert, wird Erbe der Stätte; sein jüngerer Bruder Johan Balduin, der Erbe nach Jüngstenrecht, wurde von Frantz Moritz laut Visitationsprotokoll von 1721 abgefunden. Frantz Moritz heiratete 1702 Cathrin Ilsebein Bruns.

Der 1791 geborene Urenkel Friedrich Wilhelm des Franz Moritz wird nach Erbgang in männlicher Linie im Jahre 1819 Kolon der Stätte Pollert. Er heiratete 1816 Anne Marie Sophie Charlotte Steffen, geboren 1793 in Oldendorf "In der Mühle nach Schelen Hause", der "mittelsten Mühle". Friedrich Wilhelm war zunächst dort Müller (1816) und übernahm 1819 die Hofstelle Pollert von seinem Vater Peter Henrich Pollert, der nämlich zu dieser Zeit Leibzüchter war.
Dem nunmehrigen Besitzerehepaar wurden zehn Kinder geboren, von denen die zwischen 1824 und 1833 geborenen sechs Kinder im Jahre 1834 nicht mehr leben. (Ein Zweijähriger starb durch Ertrinken.) Auch das älteste Kind, eine Tochter, starb neunjährig schon 1826. Nur drei Söhne werden großjährig und heiraten.

Der Älteste Friedrich Wilhelm Pollert heiratet in Oldendorf 1842 Dorothee Louise Friederike Blomenkamp vom Hedemer Buschholz, Ksp. Alswede; von ihren wandert der 1843 geborene Sohn Friedrich Wilhelm Pollert 1858 nach Nordamerika heimlich aus, heiratet und hat Nachkommen. Friedrich Wilhelm Pollert heiratet als Witwer Anne Marie Ilsabein Kötter aus Obermehnen.

Friedrich Wilhelm Pollerts jüngere Brüder Caspar Heinrich (1820–1899) und Johann Friedrich Pollert (1822–1901) emigrieren nach Nordamerika und heiraten dort. Sie siedeln als Farmer in Indiana und haben in ihrer neuen Heimat viele Nachkommen. Der Jüngere emigriert als erster vor 1849, er heiratete nämlich im Juni 1849 in Brownstown, Jackson County, Indiana. Nachdem seine Mutter geb. Steffen fünf Wochen danach in Deutschland starb verlässt auch Witwer Johann Wilhelm Pollert zusammen mit seinem Sohn Caspar Heinrich Deutschland; beide erreichen mit demselben Schiff von Bremen aus New Orleans im Juni 1850. Laut Volkszählung vom September 1850 lebt der Vater "Frederick W Pollard" im Haushalt des schon verheirateten Sohnes Johann Friedrich in Brownstown. Caspar Heinrich heiratet 1853 in Wegan, Jackson County. Vater Friedrich Wilhelm Pollert scheint erneut geheiratet zu haben, er wird vor 1880 gestorben sein; denn laut Census von 1880 lebt eine eingewanderte Sophie 76-jährig als Witwe und Stiefmutter im Haushalt des Caspar Heinrich.

Wandlung zur Rettungsanstalt
Die Hofstelle Oldendorf Nr. 1 stand seit 1835 unter Konkurs und wurde 1844 vom Kaufmann Stille zu Renkhausen erworben. Die wirtschaftlichen Verhältnisse werden nach der Ablösung vom Oberhof Gut Groß Engershausen schwierig gewesen sein.

Durch beträchtliche Summen habe sich das Bauernvolkes die Freiheit aus der Leibeigenschaft erkaufen müssen, was die Barmittel der Bauern so sehr gemindert habe, "dass mancher Hof nicht in der Lage war, den finanziellen Verpflichtungen nachzukommen, und es kam zu Teil- und Gesamtverkäufen. Ein solches Schicksal traf auch den Hof des Geschlechtes Pollert in Oldendorf, der infolge Geldnot in Besitz des Gutsbesitzers Stille auf Renkhausen gelangte." Walter Feld war von 1918 bis 1921 Lehrkraft der Pollertshofer Schule.

Im Jahre 1802 hatte Colon Pollert noch Ackerland und eine Wiese angekauft. Die noch ausstehende Ablösung der Domänen-Abgaben wird 1846 bereits vom neuen Besitzer Kaufmann Stille entrichtet. Mit dem Eigentümer verhandelt Pfarrer Rothert aus eigenem Antrieb seit 1850 über die Pachtung des unbewirtschafteten Gehöfts. Zu 1851 erfolgt der Abschluss des Pachtvertrages mit dem Vorstand der Anstalt.

Der Wiechern-Mitarbeiter Theodor Rhiem hatte schon 1847 bei einem Besuch in Oldendorf Rothert auf die Notwendigkeit von Rettungshäusern in Westfalen hingewiesen. Letzterem schwebte zu der Zeit jedoch eine patriotische Erziehungsanstalt vor. Mit der Einführung von Pastor Hartmann in die zweite Pfarrstelle wurde die Verbindung zum Rauhen Haus schließlich mit Erfolg wieder aufgenommen, so dass Ernst Temming entsandt wurde, mit dem im August 1851 die Stelle des Hausvaters besetzt wurde. Rottschäfer: Erweckung und Diakonie in Minden-Ravensberg. 1987, S. 258 f. Der Vorstand erhielt durch den Oberpräsidenten Duesberg die Genehmigung zu "großangelegten Haussammlungen in mehreren Landkreisen". Davon machten Oldendorfer Bürger und sogar Auswärtige erstaunlich weiträumig Gebrauch. Rottschäfer, S. 98.

Ernst Heinrich Temming, geboren am 1. März 1822, wurde am 7. April 1853 mit Marie Christine Kleffmann von Pfarrer Rothert getraut. Sie war die am 12. März 1853 geborene Tochter des 1849 verstorbenen Bäckers Kleffmann in Oldendorf. – Beginnend mit dieser Eintragung wird in den Kirchenregistern zu Oldendorf Nr. 1 noch Rettungshaus hinzugefügt. – "Mutter Temming" war durch Wirken in Pastorenhaushalten außerhalb Oldendorfs und im heimischen Geschäft gut vorbereitet; zusätzlich lernte sie ihre künftige Aufgabe Anfang 1853 durch einen Aufenthalt am Ellerhof bei Bremen kennen. Rottschäfer, S. 99.

Der überörtliche Rang des Rettungshauses wird im Bericht des Schulrats Minden des Jahres 1858 beispielhaft deutlich: "Unter den 28 Zöglingen der Anstalt befinden sich sechs aus Minden, theils seitens der Stadt, theils seitens des Vereins zur Rettung verwahrloster Kinder daselbst untergebracht." Nach Rottschäfer, S. 122.

Diese Periode Rettungsanstalt fand 1930 ein Ende. "Das neue Reichsjugend-Wohlfahrtsgesetz von 1924 machte sich bemerkbar. Durch die Abneigung der Jugendämter, Kinder der Fürsorgeerziehung zu überweisen, fielen die Belegungszahlen im Pollertshof, wie in anderen Anstalten auch, binnen kurzer Zeit derart zurück, daß die Oldendorfer Anstalt … Ostern 1929 mit nur noch 58 Kindern völlig unterbelegt war. Durch Maßnahmen der damaligen Regierung, so formulierte es später der ehemalige Anstaltslehrer Feld in seinem Geschichtsabriß (Feld, S. 17), seien die ihnen anvertrauten Zöglinge mehr und mehr entzogen, um in staatseigenen Heimen untergebracht zu werden. So trat dann bald der Landeshauptmann der Provinz Westfalen an den Vorstand heran, Pläne zur Umgestaltung des Anstaltsbetriebes zu entwickeln. Zeitweilige Verhandlungen mit der Anstalt Wittekindshof in Volmerdingsen führten zu keinem akzeptablen Ergebnis, da der Pollertshof die baulichen Voraussetzungen für eine Arbeit mit geistig Behinderten nicht bieten konnte." Rottschäfer, S. 235 – Der Pollertshof wurde zu einem Altenpflegeheim in der Trägerschaft der Anstalt Bethel. Nach einer neuen Verwendung wird gesucht (2019).

Russia Accuses U.S. of Interfering in its Elections
The narrative flips
Paul Joseph Watson | Infowars.com - March 6, 2018 Comments
A senior Russian diplomat has accused the United States of interfering in the country's upcoming presidential election, flipping the script on the entire "Russian meddling" narrative.
Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that Russia's foreign ministry and intelligence agencies were closely tracking efforts to influence voters.
"In the past years, the number of attempts to interfere in our domestic processes always increased ahead of presidential elections, as well as in the run-up to parliamentary elections," Ryabkov told the TASS news agency.
"Such trends can also be seen during the current presidential campaign. The foreign ministry has been taking note of them, our agencies have been dealing with this issue."
Ryabkov hinted that the efforts were concentrated online and consisted of "efforts by our opponents to sway young people."
"Information warfare will grow far bitterer, and that's something we will have to live with during the upcoming period," he added.
Given that the establishment media has been claiming for well over a year that Russian interfered in the US presidential election with zero evidence to back it up, the bar for proof isn't very high.
However, the U.S. government and deep state's history of interfering in foreign countries is a matter of historical record.

Every time the population of a country votes against globalism, the establishment claims, with no evidence whatsoever to back it up, that it was because of Russian meddling.
The latest example is Italy, where populist party the Five Star Movement and Matteo Salvini's Lega nationalists both performed well, with the establishment Democratic Party losing power.
"Italy's joins long list of elections influenced by Russia. The question is: what are our democracies going to do about it?" asked former U.S. Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power.

In reality, Italians voted for change because they were sick of the country's chronic migrant problem, its economic malaise and its dreadful relationship with the EU.

"In the past 2 years, Putin has won elections in the United States, Austria, Czechia & now Italy. He's also delivered Brexit & performed well in France & Germany. It's because there are no problems in the west & a large amount of people only vote to make Russia happy," joked journalist Bryan McDonald.

Church Helps 46,000 Families Affected by Typhoon Maring
Contributed By By Kaye Bay, Church News contributor
The Church's Latter-Day Saint Charities distributed hygiene kits and other items to victims of Typhoon Maring and subsequent flooding that hit the Philippines in August. Photos by Noel Maglaque.
"We have once again witnessed the beauty of the welfare program of the Church and its effect on the lives of the people we touch." —Gerry Guerra, Dagupan Employment Resource Center manager

Typhoon Maring, which hit the Philippines in mid-August, caused monsoon rains and heavy flooding in 500 areas in 51 towns and cities in Ilocos, Central and Southern Luzon, and metro Manila.
Some 260,000 families or 1.2 million people—including 1,150 Latter-day Saint families—were displaced by the storms, according to a Church welfare report.
Roads and bridges were impassable, and more than 500 houses were damaged or destroyed.
At the height of Typhoon Maring, Church buildings were used as evacuation centers as people left their homes to find higher, safer grounds. Bishops of the Church immediately went into action, providing basic needs to evacuees. Four Church members and two missionaries sustained minor injuries in the flooding.
Latter-day Saint Charities worked with nongovernmental organizations and local government units in assessing the needs of those who were affected. Members of the Church, wearing Mormon Helping Hands vests, sorted, packed, and distributed relief goods. Food kits were given to the families in Aurora and Pangasinan; hygiene kits were provided in Pampanga. Combined food and hygiene kits were given in Bulacan and Rizal. In Zambales, sleeping and hygiene kits were distributed.
"We appreciate all the hands that have taken part in this effort," said Gerry Guerra, manager of the Church's Employment Resource Center in Dagupan. "We have once again witnessed the beauty of the welfare program of the Church and its effect on the lives of the people we touch."
Distribution of the relief goods to people in the affected areas was not easy. Travel going to the towns in the affected provinces took longer than usual, and restrictions in the purchase of commodities also became a barrier. Despite these challenges, the Church was able to help meet needs of many who were affected.
More than 46,000 families, or around 260,000 individuals, benefitted from the assistance provided by the Church.
Jairus Perez, project manager for the relief efforts, said a group of 10 Church members from the Baliuag 2nd Branch, assisted by the local Catholic group, distributed food and hygiene kits to more than 1,790 families in Calumpit, Bulacan—a province that was 60 percent submerged in water at the time of the distribution. "People expressed their gratitude to LDS Charities and the Church in general," he said.

Couple find "spy camera" hidden in clock at Airbnb flat

A couple claims to have discovered a secret camera hidden in a digital clock in the Airbnb flat they were renting.
By Zoe Drewett
Dougie Hamilton and his girlfriend say the camera – which was pointed towards their bed in the holiday apartment – was disguised as a clock but looked suspicious. The 34-year-old said he started investigating the clock after a day of exploring in Toronto, Canada.
He had recently watched a YouTube video on secret 'spy' cameras hidden in cuddly toys and buttons, Dougie said. But when he picked up the clock he managed to slide its face off quite easily and was horrified to find a tiny lens that may have been recording them.
On September 7, Dougie, from Glasgow, posted about his discovery on Facebook, writing: If you use Airbnb, then you'll definitely want to read this and possibly stop using them.'
He explained: We booked a one night stay in a lovely apartment in the center of Toronto last night (September 6). We had a crazy busy day around the city and finally were able to get to the Airbnb and relax or so we thought. I was laying on the couch and this digital clock is facing into the living area and open plan bedroom Left with my thoughts, that video pops into my head, "imagine if it was the spy camera in the clock".
After removing the clock's charger and discovering a lithium battery in the back of the device the front face of the clock cam off and revealed the camera. The couple have since alerted Airbnb and police in Canada, who are both investigating. Speaking to the Daily Record, Dougie said: (Airbnb) told us the property owner has six other properties and hundreds of reviews, so it looks like we've been lucky. We were only in the place for 20 minutes when I noticed the clock. It was connected to a wire like a phone charger which wasn't quite right. I felt a bit weird even thinking it and I kept telling myself not to be daft. But there was just something.
Dougie and his girlfriend – who asked not to be named – said they found the encounter 'creepy'. A spokeswoman for Toronto police said: We received a call last Thursday regarding what appeared to be a video camera in a clock in an apartment. The investigation is continuing. Airbnb has also told Dougie its security team are looking into the claims and offered him a full refund. They said they would be canceling upcoming reservations for the owner's properties, he added. A spokesperson for Airbnb said: We take privacy issues extremely seriously and have a zero tolerance policy for this behavior. We have removed the host from the platform while we investigate and are providing the guest with our full support.
STALKER HELL Ex-boyfriend spied on lover by hiding secret cameras and listening devices in her home

Wayne Bamford, 47, was told he faces a 'significant custodial sentence' because of the risks he faces to women
By Robin Perrie
JEALOUS Wayne Bamford is facing jail after he placed covert listening devices in his ex-partner's bedroom during a stalking campaign.
Bamford, 47, refused to accept their relationship was over after Joanna Dawson ended it and launched a "highly sophisticated" covert operation to keep tabs on her.
He was able to phone in to the devices which then provided a live feed so he could hear what was going on in her bedroom.
Over a period of 15 days he connected to the devices 1,600 times, a court heard.
But the surveillance op was foiled when mum-of-one Joanne sought advice from a spy shop after suspecting he might have bugged her home.
He was told he faces a "significant custodial sentence" because of the risks he faces to women.
His case was heard on the same day that Corrie Star Kym Marsh backed our Stop a Stalker campaign.
Kym, who has twice been targeted, urged readers to sign our petition backing an MP's bid to increase police power to combat stalkers.
Bamford and Joanne began a relationship in May 2016 and started an accident management business together six months later.
But their relationship quickly turned sour and ended in January 2017.
Prosecutor Anthony Moore told Bradford crown court that Joanne's suspicions were raised when Bamford appeared to comment on her movements.
She became even more concerned when she contacted a locksmith to boost security and Bamford texted her saying: "There is no need to change your locks".
She visited a spy shop for advice and was told her what to look for. She returned home and found a listening device in her bedroom.
Joanne told the court: "He played me a recording in my own house and told me he had paid someone to place a device on the outside of my house which I did not believe.
"I went to a spy shop in Leeds and asked them, 'if I wanted to bug someone's house what do you do?' "He told me what to look for." She later found a second device hidden behind a TV in her bedroom and Bamford, of Gildersome, near Leeds, was arrested.
Bamford admitted stalking causing serious alarm or distress but a trial of issue was held yesterday after the prosecution and defence could not agree on the basis of his guilty plea.
He claimed to have fitted only one of the listening devices and said she had fitted the other to keep tabs on another ex.
But the judge, Recorder Anthony Hawks, said: "I find the complainant entirely plausible.
"I find the defendant evasive and dishonest. I totally reject his account that the complainant was responsible.
"I'm very concerned about the risk you may present to people. You were prepared to engage in a highly sophisticated way to stalk that woman.
Why Do Ordinary People Commit Acts of Espionage?

Political ideology and money serve as motivators for some people to commit acts of espionage, but they're not the only factors involved.
By Jerad W. ALEXANDER
In mid-July, 2018, Mariia Butina, a 29-year-old assistant to the Russian central bank and long-time Vladimir Putin ally Alexander Torshin, was arrested in Washington, D.C., on a charge of "conspiracy to act as an agent of a foreign government," according to the U.S. Justice Department. Per the affidavit, Butina was allegedly involved in an operation lead by officials within the Russian government to infiltrate the Republican party, including members of the Trump campaign, and the National Rifle Association, for the purposes of aligning right-wing political interests with similar interests in Russia. Butina's actions dovetailed with continued efforts by Russian operatives to commit cyber espionage to influence U.S. elections.
According to the affidavit, two American citizens provided Butina intelligence and guidance on her efforts in the United States.
MI5, the intelligence agency of the United Kingdom, defines espionage as "the process of obtaining information that is not normally publicly available, using human sources (agents) or technical means (like hacking into computer systems). It may also involve seeking to influence decision-makers and opinion-formers to benefit the interests of a foreign power." As Butina and countless others throughout history, such as spies like Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, have discovered, espionage is a dangerous game, one that can lead to imprisonment or even death. What motivates people to commit acts of espionage is as important as the ramifications of their actions.
Naturally, simple ideology serves as a motivator to commit espionage, but it's not the singular cause. According to a Spring 2016 article of The Intelligencer: Journal of U.S. Intelligence Studies, ideology "is adopted by an individual to the degree that it reflects the individual's ego. In that sense, an ideology is like another motivation – money – in that it serves as a vehicle for the individual to express a personal value or belief; an ideology is chosen in order to confirm conscious or unconscious beliefs the individual has already internalized. In the case of espionage, a particular ideology may serve as either the actual motivation for a spy to breach the trust placed in them or simply as a means of rationalizing that behavior."
A Combination of Factors
Three concurrent elements need to exist within an individual to make them prone to acts of espionage — a personality dysfunction, personal crisis and opportunity.
According to Dr. Ursula Wilder, a clinical psychologist with the Central Intelligence Agency, four personality elements are essential to the entry into espionage: psychopathy, narcissism, immaturity, and grandiosity.
"A psychopathic person is a person whose approach to reality is ruthless and cold," she stated in an interview at the International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C. "They have no conscience, or they have very limited capacity to feel guilt. So, their whole approach to life is predatory. They're excitement seeking. They love to con people. It's a game. This is all they can do to connect with other human beings. So that kind of person will commit espionage either flat-out for self-interest or because it's fun, or both."
"The next is narcissism," she explained. "A narcissistic person is fundamentally ego-centric. They can only experience the world with themselves at the center. They are very much needy for and will provoke circumstances that will permit them to be at the center of attention. They believe that what they need, want and desire is the truth. They will get greedy for attention. That kind of person will commit espionage as a grab for fame. Someone like that will commit espionage because it makes them feel big and important."
Regarding immaturity, Wilder explained an individual prone to commit acts of espionage (in comparison to a professional intelligence agent), either for or against their nation, is "an adult who can only function as an adolescent. These people live their lives in a blend of fact and fantasy. They do have a conscience, they can feel deep guilt afterwards, but fantasy is much more real to them than it is to adults who are grounded to reality, so to them committing espionage is a bit of a game, a fantasy, and online they have this illusion that if they do it online, if they just turn off the machine it goes away. They have a fantasy about the implications of their actions, and although on some level they might grasp the reality of it, it's not real to them. The grandiosity applies to all three."
An individual must be up against some form of personal crisis that produces distress. According to a paper released by the CIA titled "Why Spy?", a survey of agency employees "identified emotional instability related to ambition, anger leading to a need for revenge, feelings of being unrecognized and unrewarded, and loneliness as the top vulnerabilities on the road to espionage. They ranked such problem behaviors as drug abuse and illicit sex as second, and various mental crises or stresses brought on by debt, work issues, or psychological factors such as depression as third." Regarding opportunity, access matters. An individual must have access to sensitive information of some caliber that could be of use to a foreign power. All three combined — the personality, the crises, and the access — serve as fertile soil for acts of espionage.
It's important to make the distinction between ordinary people who commit espionage and individuals who join intelligence services.
"People who join the intel community spent years preparing themselves — school, applying, screening — there's a huge amount of drive and ambition, identification, pride," says Dr. David L. Charney, a psychiatrist with the National Office of Intelligence Reconciliation, known as NOIR, a nonprofit dedicated to educating the intelligence community on the management of insider threats. This would include people with access to sensitive information who flip, such as Edward Snowden or Reality Winner. "They're not coming in to be spies; they join for loftier reasons. The question is what makes a person go bad. That's when you have to get more psychological."
According to Charney, at the core of espionage can be an intolerable sense of personal failure, and not necessarily a shifting ideology. "Going back to the ideological spies of the 1930s and '40s, we run across people all the time who you know have personal demons that are driving them, but they wrapped their demons into the current issue of the day to give it a higher-minded packaging. Any time you try to understand you have to dig a little deeper."

Scott Forbes plied a 14-year-old girl with alcohol during sex attacks in Edinburgh.
A former serviceman raped a schoolgirl and sexually assaulted another underage girl
By STV
Scott Forbes also placed a hidden camera in another victim's bedroom and recorded footage of her while she was naked and getting dressed.
Jailing him for nine years on Monday, a judge told Forbes, 49, that the corrosive effect of his behavior on victims was "incalculable".
Lord Woolman said: "You have altered the course of their lives."
Forbes, formerly of Firrhill Park, in Edinburgh, was convicted of five offences committed between 2009 and May last year, including rape, sexual assault and possessing and making indecent images of children.
He locked a 14-year-old in a house in Edinburgh and made sexual remarks to the child and molested and raped her and photographed her naked body.
He also plied another 14-year-old with drink, showed her pornography, molested her and took pictures of her naked body while she was intoxicated at an address in Edinburgh on May last year.
Forbes was also found to have set up equipment at a house in Bonnyrigg, in Midlothian, to covertly shoot and record footage of a third victim in April last year.
Lord Woolman also ordered at the High Court in Edinburgh that the Royal Navy veteran should be kept under supervision for an extra four years after his release.
The judge said he had "narrowly" decided against calling for a full risk-assessment report, which can lead to the making of an Order for Lifelong Restriction.
He told Forbes he was prepared to treat him as a first offender and noted that he had medical problems which have prevented him working for the last eight years.
Defence counsel David Nicholson said Forbes continued to deny the serious sexual offending.
Mr Nicholson said Forbes had been on long term sick leave following a variety of health problems.
He told the court that Forbes has a neurological condition and was previously diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder.
The defence counsel said that arose primarily from Forbes' service when he was stationed in Iraq and the Arabian gulf.
He added: "He is not somebody with any difficulty with drugs or alcohol."
Following the sentencing, police praised victims who came forward to give evidence against Forbes.
Detective Sergeant Jonny Wright, of Edinburgh's Public Protection Unit, said: "Scott Forbes is a devious individual who took advantage of each of the victims' trust.
"I want to commend their bravery in coming forward, which has led to Forbes' conviction.
"I would also like to reassure any victims of sexual crime that there is no time limit to reporting offences and we will always investigate."
Police Scotland added: "Anyone with information about sexual offences can contact Police Scotland on 101, or report this anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."

Paul Dunster, 59, from Portsmouth in Hampshire, would also watch his tenants showering and made films of his unsuspecting victims over a 10 year period
By Danya Bazaraa
A pervert landlord watched his tenants having sex and showering after planting hidden cameras in their rooms, a court heard.
Paul Dunster, 59, made a staggering 183 videos of unsuspecting naked women who rented rooms from him over a 10 year period to 'satisfy his sexual needs'.
A judge told him it was a "sad" and "disgusting" story.
Police raided former security worker Dunster's home in Portsmouth, Hampshire, and found two memory cards containing the voyeuristic videos.
He initially denied two charges of voyeurism but later admitted making the secret videos after setting up cameras in the bedroom and bathroom of one of the properties he rented out.
Prosecutor David Reid told Portsmouth Crown Court: "The first memory card had 18 videos which showed sexual encounters between men and women in the bedroom.
"Those videos lasted a total of 20 minutes but none of the tenants were aware of the camera.
"The second memory card was taken from the bathroom and showed women having baths and showers – women who were also totally unaware they were filmed.
"There was significant planning to this and it was an abuse of trust as the women were tenants."
The court heard army veteran Dunster was landlord of seven flats and had total outstanding mortgages of £870,000.
Daniel Reilly, mitigating, told the hearing: "Many residents are extremely grateful he lets them rent rooms the way he does."
Sentencing Dunster, Judge David Melville QC said: "The residents would have been disgusted to know you had a camera set up in the bedroom to film people having sex.
"I'm sure people would also have been disgusted to know you set up a camera in the bathroom to satisfy your sexual needs.
"It is sad story and one which is disgusting."
Dunster was ordered to pay a £5,000 fine plus £500 in costs, and was given 100 hours of unpaid work with 20 rehabilitation days.
Former NASCAR driver must pay ex-wife $1 for secret recordings in bedroom, jury rules
17th August 2018 Tags: hidden camera, legal, press, surveillance, TSCM, U.S. Team Shapestones
A jury awarded the ex-wife of former NASCAR driver Greg Biffle $1 for secretly recording her in her bedroom and bathroom for two years, the woman's lawyer told The Charlotte Observer on Monday night.
BY JOE MARUSAK
Greg Biffle's actions "were found to be an unlawful invasion of privacy," Nicole Biffle's lawyer, Amy Simpson, told the Observer in a reply email seeking comment about Monday's verdict in Mecklenburg County Civil Court.
During the nearly two-week trial, Greg Biffle "denied doing anything inappropriate," and testified that his wife knew about the cameras, WSOC-TV reported.
"What the jury said sends a loud message that they don't believe there was wrongdoing," Biffle told the station. Attempts by the Observer to reach Greg Biffle on Monday night were unsuccessful.
In their lawsuit against the former driver, Nicole Biffle and her mother said that Greg Biffle secretly videotaped them in their bedrooms at the couple's $2.7 million mansion on Lake Norman in Mooresville, North Carolina.
Nicole Biffle and her mother said in their lawsuit that Greg Biffle "has shown images captured by the hidden cameras to third persons," the Observer reported.
In her email to the Observer on Monday night, Simpson said the case "has never been about money for Ms. Biffle. It's been about holding Mr. Biffle accountable for the complete violation of her dignity and right to privacy that should be afforded all persons. And for that she's proud of the verdict against him."
Yet, Goodwin said in her email, "the $1 in damages is perplexing given the gravity of Mr. Biffle's actions and the lengths he went to invade her privacy. But that is the verdict."
Simpson said Nicole Biffle and her mother hope the jury will award punitive damages during the second phase of the trial that "adequately reflect the true severity of his actions."
Nicole Biffle and her mother say in their lawsuit that Greg Biffle "has repeatedly asserted under oath that the Hidden Cameras were installed for 'security purposes' because he believed his maids were stealing from him."
Nicole Biffle says in the lawsuit that she "has suffered loss of appetite, loss of sleep, pain in her abdomen, emotional distress, worry, humiliation, fear … and other anxiety-related conditions" as a result of the alleged secret filming.
Her mother suffered similar health problems, according to the lawsuit, "and was prescribed a drug for anxiety and tension in January 2016 as a result of the stress from being filmed."
The lawsuit sought at least $100,000 in damages. The figure was closer to $9 million, WSOC-TV reported, citing unnamed sources.
The Biffles legally separated in March 2015, and Greg Biffle moved from their mansion in Mooresville to an apartment, Nicole Biffle's lawsuit says. They married in 2007.
Greg Biffle still owns the Lake Norman home, which sits on 10 acres, Iredell County property records show.
'Sly' Osteopath filmed sex with patient using hidden camera at Liverpool practice

Michael George Hammond avoided jail today – but not before his behaviour was branded 'disgraceful'
By Tom Molloy & Liam Thorp
A 'deceitful and sly' Osteopath who filmed a sexual act with one of his patients using a hidden camera has avoided jail.
Michael George Hammond recorded the act using a camera hidden inside a pen on a shelf at his Liverpool practice to record the act.
The 61-year-old, of Llangoed in North Wales, pleaded guilty to voyeurism after an ex-partner and former patient of his found the recording while she was waiting to be seen by him at his Aigburth practice, The Daily Post reports.
At Caernarfon Crown Court, Judge Huw Rees described the act as "a deceitful and sly offence on a lady entitled to privacy and respect".
He added that although the sexual act was consensual, the extent he went to in order to film it, without the victim's knowledge, was one that required "considerable purpose of mind".
Judge Rees said: "You sought out this pen, you purchased it, you secreted it in your treatment room and positioned it surreptitiously.
"You trespassed on her dignity and slyly invaded her privacy."
Karl Scholz, prosecuting, called for a custodial sentence as he believed the offence fell within the category one sentencing guidelines for sexual assault, due to raised harm and raised culpability.
Paulinus Barnes, defending, said Hammond was remorseful and knew his career was probably over.
He said: "He knew from the outset that his behaviour was disgraceful.
"He abused the lady's privacy and he is genuinely remorseful.
"He's now had to close his business, his career is over, and he's lost his good name. That's quite some punishment in itself."
He said aggravating factors including the place of the offence being Hammond's clinic, the images being available to be viewed and the fact that Hammond appeared to use his position as a platform to abuse women.
Mr. Scholz also said the crime "involved planning and involved a breach of trust".
Mr Barnes asked for any prison sentence to be suspended, reminded the judge of Hammond's early guilty plea and pointing out that the recording wasn't uploaded to the internet or distributed further.
Sentencing Hammond to six months imprisonment, suspended for 18 months, Judge Rees described the offence as "entirely degrading" for the victim and told Hammond: "This is a substantial fall from grace for you, at the age of 61."
Judge Rees also ordered Hammond to complete 150 hours of unpaid work, complete a 50-day rehabilitation rehabilitation activity requirement and pay victim surcharges within three months.
He also called for the recording to be destroyed.
Judge Rees added: "Any failures of these conditions, exceptional circumstances aside, you will be jailed".
Creepy hostel owner caught using remote-controlled cameras hidden inside shampoo bottles to film women in the shower – and then put the clips on porn sites

New Zealand man pleaded guilty to charges related to secretly filming guests
The court heard the man would film female guests at his homestay property
He would put hidden cameras in shampoo bottles and upload footage online
By ADAM MCCLEERY
A New Zealand man has pleaded guilty to secretly filming female guests while they showered at his homestay property by using cameras hidden in shampoo bottles.
The Hawke's Bay man faced the Hastings District Court and pleaded guilty to a combined 51 charges.
The court heard he had made up to 219 recordings of 34 different women who had stayed with him before uploading them to a porn website.
Stuff reported that the man would allow guests to us the shower in the property, but had to organise times first.
Once those times were organized, the man would place shampoo bottles with hidden cameras around the bathroom and shower, the court heard.
He would then use a remote control to turn them on, catching guests in the shower and undressing.
He would wait until his house guests left the bathroom before retrieving the hidden cameras and uploading footage to his personal hard drive.
Once he had uploaded the videos online, he also encouraged users to leave 'positive comments', it was reported.
The court heard the man would caption the videos and describe his victims by race and occupation.
In one case the man also added his own commentary to a video.
The man's identity was suppressed by the court, despite the pleas of crown prosecutor Steve Manning.
'There are 34 victims whose most intimate images have been spread all over the world,' he said.
The man's lawyer, Matt Phelps, requested the suppression order to protect the man's wife who he said suffers from a condition which would be compounded if he were identified,' the New Zealand Herald reported.
Judge Geoff Rea imposed the suppression order and also granted the man bail pending his sentence at the Napier District Court in October.
The most serious charges the man faces carry a maximum jail term of 14 years.
Mystery surrounds device found in wallet near playground at Hamilton park

The person who discovered the wallet believes it housed a pinhole camera
Hamilton police detectives are trying to unravel a mystery after a strange electronic device was discovered hidden in a wallet left near a playground in an east end park.
By Adam Carter
A Reddit user who said they discovered the wallet posted that they believe it housed a pinhole camera and a battery, but police were not able to confirm that Friday afternoon.
"We're not sure what this is," Const. Lorraine Edwards told CBC News. "We can't confirm that it's a camera."
Police say the wallet was found by park staff at Sam Mason Park near Queenston Road and Nash Road North.
Reddit user Jdm67 posted photos of the wallet Friday morning.
The poster said he or she opened up the wallet looking for a driver's licence, but instead found what the poster believed to be a pinhole camera, a battery, and a memory card.
"It was set up near the playground with a hole for the camera to view through," the post reads.
"It was still on, and it seemed like it may be streaming because the WiFi light was on still."
Edwards said investigators are now trying to figure out who left the wallet there and why.
She also said a wallet seems like an odd choice to house a device to surreptitiously record someone.
"If somebody meant harm by this, a wallet is the first thing that would be picked up at a park," she said.
Are millennials keeping their data safe?

Norton reports one in three millennials use the same password for all accounts; 53 percent have shared passwords with friends or family.
By DECCAN CHRONICLE
While the awareness level in millennials is high about the latest trends in technology and gadgets, it is alarming to see how the knowledge is not being translated well into practice, making them an easy prey for hackers. According to the Norton Cybersecurity Insights Report, one in three millennials use the same password for all accounts; approximately 53 percent of millennials have shared desktop passwords with friends or family members. These trends, witnessed amongst millennials, seem to have put them in a vulnerable position and a common victim of cybercrime.
"Despite a steady stream of cybercrime sprees reported by media, millennials appear to feel invincible and skip taking even basic precautions to protect themselves," said Ritesh Chopra, Director, Norton business for India. "This disconnect highlights the need for consumer cyber safety and the urgency for consumers to get back to basics when it comes to doing their part to prevent cybercrime."
This International Youth Day, Norton would like to share tips on how millennials and consumers can take a few steps towards building a more secure online presence.
Craft a strong, unique password using a phrase that consists of a string of words that are easy for you to memorize, but hard for others to guess. Don't tie your password to publicly available information as it makes it easier for the bad guys to guess your password. The longer, the better! Additionally, if your account or device enables it, consider two-factor authentication for an extra layer of security. Finally, once you've created a strong password, stick with it until you're notified of a security breach. If you feel overwhelmed, use a password manager to help!
Using unprotected Wi-Fi can leave your personal data vulnerable to eavesdropping by strangers using the same network so avoid anything that involves sharing your personal information when connected to an open Wi-Fi network. If you do use public Wi-Fi, consider using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to secure your connection and help keep your information private.
Make it a habit to change default passwords on all network-connected devices, like smart thermostats or Wi-Fi routers, during set-up. If you decide not to use Internet features on various devices, such as smart appliances, disable or protect remote access as an extra precaution. Also, protect your wireless connections with strong Wi-Fi encryption so no one can easily view the data traveling between your devices.
Think twice before opening unsolicited messages or attachments, particularly from people you don't know, or clicking on random links.
Protect your devices with a robust, multi-platform security software solution to help protect against the latest threats.

Charles H. Chuckovitz (July 10, 1912 – August 12, 1991) was an American professional basketball player in the 1930s and 1940s.

A 6'1" guard-forward who starred at St. Vincent–St. Mary High School, he became an All-American at the University of Toledo. He broke Ohio's single-season and career collegiate scoring marks, both previously held by  Wooster star Nick Frascella. He also set a three-year intercollegiate scoring record with 1,149 points.

Chuckovitz played two seasons in the National Basketball League as a member of the Hammond Ciesar All-Americans and the Toledo Jim White Chevrolets. He received league MVP honors with Toledo during the 1941–42 season after leading the NBL with an 18.5 points per game average, which was a new single-season record. He was also the top scorer at the 1941 World Professional Basketball Tournament held in Chicago, recording a tournament-record 82 points in four games while leading Toledo to a third-place finish.

Chuckovitz coached high school basketball, including stints at Holland High School and Waite High School.

Mexico - Nature and Wildlife
As a result of Mexico's geography and different climate zones, there is a great deal of diverse flora and fauna found throughout the country, many of which are endemic. Mexico's coasts are home to seals, sea turtles and sea lions while the waters host dolphins. Grey whales are often spotted during winter and spring as they travel from Alaska to warmer waters to birth their calves.
In Mexico's mountains, one can find species like pumas, lynxes, coyotes and armadillos. The drier areas of the country host many reptile species, rattlesnakes and more. In the tropical and subtropical regions, there are various monkey species, lizards and birds including toucans, parrots, butterflies and flamingos.
In order to protect such diversity, there are 93 protected areas in Mexico that make up around 6% of the country. There are nine different types of natural protected areas that include Biosphere Reserves, National Parks, National Marine Parks, and Ecological Conservation Zones among others. Many of Mexico's national parks were created during the 1930s, and popular parks include Grutas de Cacahuamilpa National Park, Canyon del Sumidero National Park and Basaseachic Falls National Park.
Grutas de Cacahuamilpa National Park was established in 1936 in southern Mexico. It was created to protect the Grutas de Cacahuamilpa Caverns. These caverns make up one of the largest cave systems in the world as well as two underground rivers, the Chontalcoatlán and the San Jeronimo. This national park is very popular with tourists as it is a haven for extreme sports like rock climbing.
Canyon del Sumidero National Park was created in 1980, in the central part of the state of Chiapas. The park was named for the Sumidero Canyon. In 1981, a hydroelectric dam was built that made the canyon navigable by boat, making it more accessible to the public. An Ecological Park was opened in 2003 and hosts both an animal and bird sanctuary. Visitors to the park have the opportunity to take part in many fun activities such as kayaking, abseiling, mountain biking and more.
Basaseachic Falls National Park, located in northern Mexico was established in February, 1981. The park is named for the falls within the park, which are the second tallest in Mexico. In addition to these impressive falls, the park also hosts thick forests, making it an amazing place to spot birds and animals in their natural habitats.

Weight loss and uric acid in Japan
Weight loss in overweight Japanese men and women resulted in substantial reduction in uric acid.
S Yamashita et al. Studies on the impaired metabolism of uric acid in obese subjects: marked reduction of renal urate excretion and its improvement by a low-calorie diet. International Journal of Obesity 1986 10: 255-264.
This was a prospective study of calorie restriction in 11 overweight Japanese men and 16 overweight Japanese women. Men were initially 38% to 138% above ideal body weight with uric acid levels of 6.6 to 12.6 mg/100 mL. Women were initially 38% to 100% above ideal body weight with uric acid levels of 4.9 to 11 mg/100 mL. The mean age was 35 years (range 15 to 70 years)
All were treated in hospital to ensure adherence to the diet. An initial calorie intake of 1500 kcal/day was reduced over four weeks to 800 calories a day, with additional exercise when calorie restriction alone failed to reduce weight significantly on a week-on-week basis. Treatment was from four to 14 weeks (average 9 weeks).
There was also an age and sex matched control group with normal body weight (80-120% of ideal).
Serum uric acid levels were significantly elevated in overweight subjects compared with normal weight. The average was about 5 mg/100 mL (295 µmol/L) for normal weight men and women, compared with 545 µmol/L in overweight men and 400 µmol/L in overweight women.
At discharge, men had fallen from an average of 175% to 155% of ideal body weight, and women from 169% to 147% of ideal body weight, a weight loss of 12% of initial.
At discharge, uric acid levels had fallen to an average of 7.4 mg/100 mL (437 µmol/L) in men and 5.5 mg/100 mL (325 µmol/L) in women, an average reduction of about 20% of initial.
Another example, in another population, that both links excess weight to high levels of uric acid, and loss of weight to substantial reduction in uric acid levels.

David Kelley Quote
"Dividing the political positions into liberal versus conservative is itself a leading example of [an old conceptual framework that organizes the world into categories and stereotypes] shared by journalists and media activists alike. As a result, it has taken decades for libertarians in the United States to break through this conventional view of the political spectrum and gain recognition as a distinct point of view. Over and above any hostility journalists had to free-market views, there was no conceptual space within their conventional wisdom for a political philosophy that combined free markets and free minds."

A somewhat objective accuracy ;-)
As susceptible to conditioned prejudice circumscribed interpretation as words are, Principles, Virtues and Humanity itself, ultimately, transcend the constraints of categorization, classification and labelling.
It seems to have always been the intent of socialist and the like, blurring lines of understanding, removing the shadings of words which reveal America's "types" of Liberty and Freedom. At which we find a lacking within European Libertarian think tanks as to the origin and understanding of Hebrew Natural law and combined Greek philosophy, which have produced the American phenomena
Threskos religion, science, common sense. The Common Cord. This comes by way of essentialism in the class room, without the slant ( corrupt baggage ) of secular humanism and perennialism.
In a world of this and that, there will always be differences. But this and that are not static. The young become old. New ideas become fads, then some become traditions -- often challenging long-standing customs. With time, one political group's views can completely change -- the Democratic party is a good example. With a 2 party system, each party represents the collective interests of the group -- if one party takes a position, the other must take the opposing position, depending on the sentiments of the day. Over time the parties dance.
In America today, the political parties have become blocs for arbitrary power -- whoever is in the majority rules the rest. The Libertarian ideal is what freed America from monarchy. Global socialism now aims to take over, but America was founded upon different principles and cannot join in without losing their Independence. Libertarianism is starting to return as more Americans learn who they are.
Decentralization of power is now a global movement, since centralization has just merely tightened the noose. Brexit, Trump, and more 'exits' are a sign.
Libertarianism is closest to original Founding intent, compared to today's dog-and-pony 2-party gang-rape. I posit our misled Republican constituency is far better aligned toward Liberty, than its completely lunatic-left Democrat counterpart.
It's not so much that Libertarianism "broke through" anything, as much as the gang-rapists finally strayed so far from Liberty that We Liberty lovers are now referred to as "Libertarians"; therefor I add a third observation: the nomenclature evolves too: I would much rather be thought of as a Classical Liberal, but alas our lefty friends have absconded an old label, "liberal", and applied it dishonestly where ILLIBERAL seems most perfectly appropriate.
THE FOUNDERS WERE "LIBERTARIANS", ALL.
