The pacing of the global climate system by orbital variations is clearly demonstrated in the timing of glacial-interglacial cycles, but the mechanisms that translate this forcing into regional and global climate changes continue to be debated. We invite submissions that explore the climate system response to orbital forcing, that seek to support or refute the traditional Milankovitch view of a northern hemisphere ice-sheet control, and that test the stability of these relationships under different climate regimes or across evolving climate states (e.g. mid Pleistocene transition, Pliocene-Pleistocene transition, Miocene vs Pliocene). Submissions exploring proxy data and/or modelling work are welcomed.

Q: Can we deduce that a finite topology $T$ satisfies Frankl's union-closed set conjecture? Let $X$ be a finite set and $T$ be a topology on $X$. Then $T$ is both union-closed and intersection-closed. Can we deduce that  $T$ satisfies Frankl's union-closed set conjecture?
(We know that a complement of a union-closed set is an intersection-closed set and the union-closed set conjecture is equivalent to the intersection-closed set conjecture.)

A: Yes. Consider the minimal non-empty open set $A$. Each open set $B$ either contains $A$ (denote the family of such open sets by $P$) or does not intersect $A$ (the family of such open sets is denoted by $Q$). Then $B\rightarrow B\sqcup A$ is an injective map from $Q$ to $P$. Thus $|P|\geqslant |Q|$, i.e., at least half of open sets contain $A$.

Israel Targeting Ambulances, Women & Children In Gaza
ewingsc 10 years ago 2
19 Palestinians were killed and more than 60 wounded in what can best be described as a series of targeted attacks
[youtube]4PmaiVvCVD0[/youtube]
The assault was less destructive than 2008-2009 Cast lead operation,
but more aggressive than the Israeli forces' minor- yet frequent- raids on the outskirts of Gaza.
These images are what ministry has called "clear Israeli violations of international humanitarian law, during Israel's latest assault".
The images depict direct and indiscriminate targeting of the civilian population and infrastructure.
Pictures of children killed or wounded; elderly victims killed during the attacks, medical personnel injured, corpses charred beyond recognition, homes turned to rubble, and families mourning their dead.
Ambulances and medical facilities are the regular targets of Israeli attacks, as are medical personnel.
Clad in fluorescent orange vests they are clearly identifiable as medical teams, and hard to miss as targets.
As seen in the footage, two were injured during the 3-day attack.
Chief among Israel's questionable military actions is its disproportionate use of force against civilians.
According to local sources, most of those who were injured were children, under the age of 15.
Many elderly, men and women, not fast enough to escape, were also wounded in the strikes.
For decades, the Gaza Strip has been a conflict zone
and the basic laws that govern armed conflict are common knowledge among Gazans.
One thing these people say they are sure of; they cannot recall a time when these laws were implemented:
Amnesty international, Human Rights Watch, the United Nations and countless other international organizations
have in the past recognized and condemned Israel's excessive and reckless use of force
against the besieged people of Gaza Strip.

Q: HttpClient 302 redirect I have 2 urls: https://pcr.apple.com/id868222886 and https://jigsaw.w3.org/HTTP/300/302.html. Both have a location link and 302 response code.
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Net.Http;

namespace XaveScor.PodcastFeed
{
    public class RemoteFeedSource: FeedSource
    {
        private string url;
        protected virtual HttpMessageHandler Handler => new HttpClientHandler() { AllowAutoRedirect = true };

        public override Stream Stream => client.Value.GetStreamAsync(url).Result;

        private readonly Lazy<HttpClient> client;

        public RemoteFeedSource(string url)
        {
            client = new Lazy<HttpClient>(() => new HttpClient(Handler), false);
            this.url = url;
        }
    }
}

[TestMethod]
public void Test1() //fail
{
    var source = new RemoteFeedSource("https://pcr.apple.com/id868222886");
    Assert.AreNotEqual(source.Stream.GetString(), "");
}

[TestMethod]
public void Test2() //success
{
    var source = new RemoteFeedSource("https://jigsaw.w3.org/HTTP/300/302.html");
    Assert.AreNotEqual(source.Stream.GetString(), "");
}

Why? What is difference?

A: If you look at the headers in the response, you'll see this:
First one (https://pcr.apple.com/id868222886):
Content-Length: 0
Location: http://beardycast.libsyn.com/rss

Second one (https://jigsaw.w3.org/HTTP/300/302.html):
Content-Length: 389
Content-Type:   text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1
Location:       https://jigsaw.w3.org/HTTP/300/Overview.html

So the first server silently redirects you, and the second one provides some additional headers for you:
Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=15552015; includeSubDomains; preload
Public-Key-Pins: pin-sha256="cN0QSpPIkuwpT6iP2YjEo1bEwGpH/yiUn6yhdy+HNto="; pin-sha256="WGJkyYjx1QMdMe0UqlyOKXtydPDVrk7sl2fV+nNm1r4="; pin-sha256="LrKdTxZLRTvyHM4/atX2nquX9BeHRZMCxg3cf4rhc2I="; max-age=864000
X-Frame-Options: deny
X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block

And the response body:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
               "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

 <title>Moved</title>

This resources has moved, click on the link if your browser doesn't support automatic redirection

http://jigsaw.w3.org/HTTP/300/Overview.html

This is why HttpClient returns non-empty result string - it's not really empty. Your unit tests have wrong design approach, as they do not check the status, but do check only response length, which could be non-empty even for 3** http status codes.

The Road to success. Good guys can finish first...CEO Kurt Svendheim!
Kurt Svendheim's extraordinary life of overachievement began in a small town of 1200 people in Norway, 120 miles from the closest city, 400 miles from Oslo. It was an uninspiring place ranging from 5 hours daylight a day to 19 hours a day depending on the season, with 3 months of 60 degrees temperatures and 9 months where it was between cold and freezing. The wet season (rain / snow) was 8 months a year although average rainfall is between 1 and 4 inches every day. A very hard place to become really motivated in your early life.
At 19, Kurt bought a very run down mountain lodge and over a period of years renovated it and built 10 extra cabins. He organized hunting and fishing trips and in 4 years not only owned the lodge, but also the skiing and everything else on the mountain. Seven years later he decided to move on with his real estate adventures. This set his credo of buying rundown buildings and doing them up. Kurt then learned the ropes working for a big real estate holder in Norway before buying 6 city buildings in a town in Norway, renovating one, selling it and then renovating the next. It was now time to spread his wings. He began replicating this process in Brasil, Bulgaria, Turkey and Norway.
Just over 20 years later, Kurt visited Thailand. He fell in love with the lifestyle, the people and the beauty of the country. More importantly, he saw the incredible resources and potential of the region. The Nordic Group in Pattaya asked Kurt to be an agent for them as they were experiencing difficulties in their business.
Within a year Kurt bought this company containing of 18 buildings from them and changed the name to New Nordic Group. Advance just 9 years and Kurt has expanded those 18 buildings to 60 in the same area, consisting of hotels, condos, 100 shops, restaurants, multiple swimming pools and a supermarket, all close to pristine beaches. In total, Kurt has developed 219 buildings, comprising 9820 apartments ranging in size from 30 square meters to 230 square meters, with 100 in construction. His developments span over 10 cities in Asia and he is now developing properties in Africa.
Incredibly, all debt free.
So, who is this guy? Early 50's, tall, thin, quiet, confident, visionary, an empathetic person who is a very dedicated family man and fully committed to his 2000 plus staff. They reciprocate that dedication to him. He is surrounded by a highly skilled diversified management team that speak many languages. Kurt travels to all his existing and potential new properties every week. He has all the trappings of success, homes, cars, yachts yet is totally grounded. He is not afraid to grab opportunities, but really does his homework first.
For example, before beginning development in Africa, he selects his preferred locations after solid research and then puts a team of 6 to 8 locals and his people on the ground for a year before commencing the project. Nothing is left to chance.
From here, Kurt is looking to develop in tropical areas worldwide with more locations in current areas, expansion into Africa and central America. Kurt now has new mega projects in Asia. One is 89 hectare with in excess of 5,000 units and a valuation of USD 1 billion. Another development is 200 hectare with in excess of 7.000 units and a value USD 1,5 billion… and still debt free. Kurt Svendheim has the midas touch.
From a 19 year old buying a small run down lodge in Norway, to serving 50,000 breakfasts a month, 219 buildings, owning 6 travel agencies to generate hotel guests and doing it with no debt just 35 years later is a serious success story… and a wonderful opportunity for investors.
Kurt is testament to the fact that really genuinely nice guys can finish first.

SRV, which is an abbreviation for Service, is a DNS record, which permits you to employ a domain for a specific service different from a site. By setting up a few SRV records, you can use the domain name with different providers and direct it to many servers at once, each and every server handling a different service. You are able to specify the port number for the connection to every machine, so there will never be any interference. You can even set different priorities and weight for two records which are used for the very same service, but point to different servers for redundancy or load balancing. With an SRV record you can use your domain or a subdomain under it for a Voice-Over-IP server, for instance, and have the real software running on a number of machines with different companies. Which one a client of yours will use depends on the priority and weight values that you've set.
You are going to be able to create a brand new SRV record for any of the domain names you host inside a shared web hosting account on our innovative cloud platform. Provided that the DNS records for the domain are handled on our end, you can manage them without difficulty through the respective section of your Hepsia Control Panel and just minutes later any new record which you set up will be active. Hepsia includes a really user-friendly interface and all it requires to set up an SRV record is to fill in just a few text boxes - the service the record is going to be used for, the Internet protocol as well as the port number. The priority (1-100), weight (1-100) and TTL boxes have standard values, that you can leave except when the other provider requires different ones. TTL is short for Time To Live and this number indicates the time in seconds for the record to be active in case you edit it or erase it at some point, the default one being 3600.

Politics|Presidential Debate: What You Missed
Presidential Debate: What You Missed
By Alexander Burns and Matt Flegenheimer
How we analyzed in real time and fact checked the last presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald J. Trump.
Hillary Clinton and Donald J. Trump on the debate stage.CreditDamon Winter/The New York Times
Donald J. Trump refused to say on Wednesday night that he would accept the results of the presidential election, rejecting American political norms and growing pressure from his own party by claiming that the political process is extensively rigged against him.
Mr. Trump said he would decide only on Nov. 8 whether to respect the election returns. He accused the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the media of conspiring in Mrs. Clinton's favor, and brushed off a reminder from Chris Wallace, the debate moderator, that the peaceful transfer of power is "one of the prides of this country."
Hillary Clinton called Mr. Trump's answer "horrifying," and accused him of "talking down our democracy" out of frustration with his flagging campaign.
The exchange was the closest thing to a climactic moment in which Mrs. Clinton aggressively branded Mr. Trump as a dangerous candidate, calling him a "puppet" of Vladimir V. Putin of Russia and urging voters not to entrust him with nuclear weapons.
Mr. Trump's broad criticism of the democratic system overshadowed his own insistent efforts to put Mrs. Clinton on the defensive over her record at the State Department and her status as a political insider. And he did little to address the multiplying accusations of sexual harassment and assault against him, asserting falsely that those charges had largely been discredited.
The rest of the highlights:
• Asked if he would accept the results of the election, Mr. Trump — who has repeatedly predicted a "rigged" system could doom him — refused to commit. "I will look at it at the time," he said, before suggesting without evidence that wide-scale voter fraud and a media conspiracy could affect the outcome. Mrs. Clinton called these remarks "horrifying." She noted that Mr. Trump had a long history of claiming that forces were aligned against him, recalling his complaint when he did not receive an Emmy award for his television show, among other gripes. "Should have gotten it," Mr. Trump said.
• The moderator cited estimates that both candidates' plans would increase the national debt. Mr. Trump rejected that analysis, saying he could "create tremendous jobs" and construct "an economic machine" to power growth. Mrs. Clinton likewise said she would "not add a penny to the national debt." Asked next about entitlement spending, Mr. Trump switched to a discussion of the Affordable Care Act, which he said he wanted to repeal. When Mrs. Clinton tweaked her opponent for evading taxes, Mr. Trump interjected: "Such a nasty woman," he said.
• Mrs. Clinton, speaking about her support for some gun control measures, said she saw "no conflict between saving people's lives and defending the Second Amendment." She added that the National Rifle Association was running "millions of dollars of ads against me." Mr. Trump said he was unsure if Mrs. Clinton had referenced the group's support for him "in a sarcastic manner," but that he was "very proud" of it.
• Asked about the role of the Supreme Court, Mrs. Clinton said she expected the court to "represent all of us," citing the importance of marriage equality and abortion rights. She added that she hoped that "the Senate would do its job and confirm the nominee that President Obama has sent to them." Mr. Trump, answering the same question, said, "The Supreme Court, that's what it's all about," before suggesting Mrs. Clinton would hope to steer the court away from adherence to the Second Amendment.
• Mrs. Clinton focused attention on Mr. Trump's past comments that, if abortion were outlawed, there should be "some form of punishment" for the women involved. After Mrs. Clinton was pressed on her support for late-term abortions under certain circumstances — she cited the health of prospective mothers — Mr. Trump said he thought it was "terrible." "If you go with what Hillary is saying, in the ninth month you can take the baby and rip the baby out of the womb of the mother," he said.

• Mr. Trump held forth on his signature issue — immigration — suggesting that the heroin crisis in some pockets of the country owed to insufficient border security. "We have to have strong borders," he said, adding, "We have some bad hombres." Mrs. Clinton said that while her immigration plan "of course includes border security," she did not want to see "the deportation force that Donald has talked about."
• Mrs. Clinton suggested Mr. Trump was a hypocrite on the issue of immigration, saying he had "used undocumented labor to build the Trump Tower." When the moderator, Chris Wallace, quoted from a paid Clinton speech — citing an excerpt revealed by WikiLeaks in which she said she dreamed of "open trade and open borders" — Mrs. Clinton said she was "talking about energy."
• Mrs. Clinton said a more pressing issue from the leaked documents was the specter of the Russian government engaging in "espionage against Americans," suggesting that Russian President Vladimir V. Putin has a "clear favorite in this race." "That was a great pivot off the fact that she wants open borders," Mr. Trump said, adding, "I don't know Putin." Mrs. Clinton said Mr. Putin would prefer "a puppet as president of the United States." Mr. Trump shot back, "You're the puppet."
• After Mr. Trump said Mr. Putin had "outsmarted and outplayed" Mrs. Clinton on the international stage, Mrs. Clinton moved to cast Mr. Trump as too unstable to be president, saying he had been distressingly cavalier about the use of nuclear weapons. "Wrong," Mr. Trump interjected, reprising an interruption from the first debate.
• As the discussion turned to the economy, Mrs. Clinton said Mr. Trump's plans amounted to "trickle-down economics on steroids." Mr. Trump, after taking credit for more active participation from international trade partners — "all of a sudden they're paying," he said — suggested he would produce national prosperity by renegotiating trade deals.
• After Mrs. Clinton said President Obama did not get the credit he deserved for improving economic conditions since taking office, she allowed that Americans were "standing, but we're not yet running." Mr. Trump, placing blame for many Americans' financial struggles on trade policy under Bill Clinton, said the country was "stagnant." Mrs. Clinton accused Mr. Trump of crying "crocodile tears" about the American work force despite using Chinese steel on construction projects.
• Addressing the many accusations of sexual assault against him, Mr. Trump said, "I don't know those people," calling the accounts "totally false." "I didn't even apologize to my wife, who's sitting right here, because I didn't do anything," he said, accusing Mrs. Clinton of stoking the claims. Mrs. Clinton seized on Mr. Trump's recent insinuations that he could not have assaulted some of the women because they were not attractive enough. "Donald thinks belittling women makes him bigger," she said. "I don't think there's a woman anywhere who doesn't know what that feels like."
• When Mr. Trump sought to pivot to a discussion of Mrs. Clinton's use of a private email server when she was secretary of state, Mrs. Clinton accused him of dodging responsibility for his own actions. "He never apologizes or says he's sorry for anything," she said, noting his insults of a Gold Star family, a reporter with a physical disability and a judge with Mexican heritage, among others. "It's not one thing, this is a pattern," she said.
Fact Checks of the Third Presidential Debate
Reporters for The New York Times fact-checked the statements made by Hillary Clinton and Donald J. Trump during Wednesday's presidential debate.
• Mr. Trump accused Mrs. Clinton of misdeeds at the Clinton Foundation, asking her to return donations from countries with a record of human rights abuses. Mrs. Clinton said she would be "happy to compare what we do with the Trump Foundation," recalling the use of Trump Foundation funds to purchase a large portrait of its namesake. "Who does that?" she asked. When Mr. Trump said the foundation's money was dedicated to charitable giving, Mrs. Clinton noted that his claims were impossible to verify because he had not released his tax returns.
• After Mr. Trump accused Mrs. Clinton of helping to destabilize the Middle East, citing her vote for the Iraq war, among other decisions, Mrs. Clinton reminded voters that Mr. Trump had expressed support for the invasion. "Google, 'Donald Trump Iraq,'" she said. Mr. Trump repeatedly cut in to say, "Wrong."

• The candidates sparred over refugee policy, with Mr. Trump predicting security crises if Mrs. Clinton were elected. "This is going to be the great Trojan horse," Mr. Trump said, discussing Syrian refugees. "Lots of luck, Hillary." Mrs. Clinton said she would not allow anyone into the country without appropriate vetting but added, "I am not going to slam the door on women and children."
• Offered a chance to give closing remarks, the candidates hewed closely to their campaign trail messages. Mrs. Clinton spoke about improving the lives of families, saying she hoped Americans would "give me a chance to serve as your president." Mr. Trump began, "She's raising the money from the people she wants to control. Doesn't work that way." He said he would "make America great," touching on what he called a "depleted military" and urban conditions where "you get shot walking to the store."

Scalia and the U.S. Chamber: An Ugly Combination
The U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision in Citizens United v. FEC opened the flood gates for corporate dollars to influence elections. That means the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and its president, Thomas Donahue, must be salivating at the thought of manipulating our democracy even more than they already do.
Donahue & Co. are certain to be major players in the 2010 state and federal elections, reports Rebecca Abrahams at Huffington Post. She points to Mississippi as a cautionary tale that illustrates how the chamber stacks the legislative and judicial decks in favor of corporations--at huge cost to consumers.
For good measure, Abrahams reports, the chamber can rely on U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia to bail it out of tight spots.
Scalia pulled a game-changing stunt in Mississippi's 2000 election, helping to turn the state's high court over to pro-business interests. In late October that year, roughly a couple of weeks before the November election, the U.S. Chamber poured huge sums of money into Mississippi, in apparent violation of state election laws.
One of the chamber's targets was Oliver Diaz, who later became embroiled in the Paul Minor prosecution. Reports Abrahams:
Diaz says in late October 2000, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce began running vicious television ads against him saying he favored "drug dealers and baby killers" and that he should not be elected to the position. Diaz recalls his team had to scramble to combat the campaign.
"Right at the end of the election after we'd already budgeted for our ad campaign, the U.S. Chamber came in with well over a million dollars in the final weeks of the campaign. It was the first time they came into Mississippi so we didn't know it was going to happen. Nobody had ever seen this type of operation."
Five pro-consumer judicial candidates filed an injunction to keep television stations from the running the chamber's ads. A local judge granted the injunction, but the chamber sought emergency relief from the U.S. Supreme Court. The issue landed on Scalia's desk, and he allowed the ads to move forward.
What does Scalia mean to the U.S. Chamber? Abrahams provides insight, with the help of Florida-based trial attorney Mike Papantonio:
Trial attorney Mike Papantonio has received numerous multi-million dollar verdicts on behalf of victims of corporate malfeasance and says the U.S. Chamber of Commerce routinely relies on Justice Scalia for muscle:
"Scalia is the primary henchman. When you're out of plays and you've exhausted all of the efforts you go to a guy like Scalia. People don't understand what Scalia is all about. Look at his history--his father ran the American fascist party in New York. Not only that he attended the same schools those people attended. He is their man whenever they're in trouble. For example, you always see Scalia, the guy for emergency relief. I've got a verdict in West Virginia that Bobby (Kennedy Jr) and I tried, (an environmental class action case) against Dupont that received a $400 million jury verdict. If the State Supreme court doesn't take it away from Dupont, Dupont will try to get in some form a federal judge or emergency writ to a guy like Scalia. He is their last vestige of protection and he makes no bones about what his politics are and that's what you saw with the Diaz case in Mississippi."
Diaz managed to win the election, with the financial support of Paul Minor and others. But the U.S. Chamber's next tactic was to target Minor and Diaz with a bogus prosecution, in an effort to dry up a key source of funding for Democratic candidates. What does the Minor case say about the state of our union? Abrahams addresses that question:
Attorney Mike Papantonio says these cases are a grim example of a broken judicial system and the U.S. Chamber's control over it:
"People miss the idea that all the Chamber wants is a Supreme Court not really - the Chamber starts from the ground up to replace trial judges with political hacks.
If you were to take all the issues that the Chamber holds near and dear to them, this is the most important -- to close the courthouse door. They tried with Diaz. Diaz was one of many targets all over the country for god sakes. His case exemplifies their methodology. Even the effort to convict him wasn't as bad as was the process to convict.
Diaz didn't favor anybody but he at least gave the average person a chance at trial. He wasn't bought and paid for by the Chamber and the Chamber hated him for that.
He was willing to hold corporate America accountable when other Mississippi judges would not. He understood there was some semblance of justice that should be there when a corporation makes a product that kills people even though they make more money. That's not the case with most judges in the Deep South. They've been commandeered by the Chamber."
The Citizens United ruling could be viewed as a warning shot, Abrahams reports. Papantonio says President Barack Obama needs to follow Franklin Roosevelt's example in 1937 and declare war on the U.S. Supreme Court:
Papantonio warns if the GOP run Chamber is able to control the courts, Americans will have little recourse against corporations that commit tortuous acts. He says if victims could hold corporate wrongdoers accountable, litigation would be unnecessary.
"Any time you have industrialists that have an agenda - there's a strategy to completely scrap the judicial process that allows average people to fight back. I would love to say to corporate America and the Chamber, we don't need judges like Diaz if you'd at least be the middle of road. We don't need that if we can throw people in jail. But we're all keeping our eye on who's being elected to Congress while these s.o.b's have been working day and night on who's going to be trial judges, appellate judges and appointed to Supreme Court. But people don't understand the judiciary. It's no big deal until it's your child or your son who's horribly injured or you file a claim for discrimination. We don't care about the U.S. Chamber. The community is decimated with environmental problems and people just aren't connected on this kind of level. We still have the ability to turn this around but Obama needs to wake up."

Vitrectomy is effective in reducing vision loss. People with proliferative retinopathy have less than a 5 percent chance of becoming blind within five years after a vitrectomy that is performed as part of timely and appropriate diabetic retinopathy treatment.
Although this procedure has a high success rate, it does not cure diabetic retinopathy. Once you have proliferative retinopathy, you always will be at risk for new bleeding. You may need treatment for diabetic retinopathy more than once to protect your sight.

See the countries where Nigerian Languages can actually come in handy
Adaobi Onyeakagbu
Check out the Nigerian languages that are widely spoken around the world.
Yoruba is one of the most widely spoken Nigerian languages, heard in Togo, North America, UK and Europe.
Weirdly enough, knowledge of one of the major Nigerian languages can bail you out from tough situations outside Nigeria.
See the countries where Nigerian Languages can actually come in handy.
Due to many reasons — trans-atlantic slave trade, cattle grazing, immigration — small communities have grown in other countries where some Nigerian languages are actually spoken.
Ghana- Hausa
The Hausa are the largest ethnic group in West Africa with native speakers higher than any other language in sub-Saharan Africa, estimated at 22 million. They are originally from Hausaland in Nigeria, straddling the border between Nigeria and Niger. The Hausa people are nomadic in nature and began settling in the Northeastern part of Ghana over 500 years ago. However, due to trade expansions in the 18th century and the Fulani holy wars in the 19th century, the rate of immigration increased.
Soon enough, a Hausa community began in Ghana. The Hausa of Ghana are virtually all Muslim so the mannerisms and cultures of Islam is common in their community. Their presence in the Northeastern part of Ghana (and northern Cameroon) is emphasised by the radio broadcasts in Hausa to cater to the Hausa speakers. If you have a knowledge of Hausa and find yourself in that area, it will help to make the locals warm up to you. Here's all you need to know about a trip from Nigeria to Ghana.
Equatorial Guinea- Igbo
The Igbo people are one of the largest ethnic groups in Africa as native speakers are estimated at 24 million. In Equatorial Guinea, Igbo is recognised as a minority tribe with about 53,000 speakers. In Cameroon however, there are an estimated 105,000 Igbo speakers in the country.
The Igbo "Red Eboe" people were also a huge part of the formation of Jamaica and its language due the large influx of Igbo Slaves during the slave trade. Hence, you are very likely to find the Red Igbos of Jamaica. Since most of Equatorial Guinea speak Spanish, maybe a knowledge of Igbo will help you navigate the country.
Republic of Benin and Togo- Yoruba
Though one of the most widespread languages, it has 20 million estimated speakers across Africa, according to Buzz Nigeria. Outside Nigeria, you can find large yoruba-speaking communities in Togo and Benin Republic. Smaller communities can be found in Sierra Leone, Liberia and other African countries.
However, due to slave trade, non-vernacular parts of the language remain in Brazil and the Caribbean Islands. It was even a huge part of creating Jamaican Patois language. In Benin and Togo, French is the lingua-franca but perchance you can't speak it, Yoruba is your next best option. Here is the ultimate food guide to visiting Benin Republic.

HISTORY OF THE STATION
Quorn & Woodhouse Station was opened in 1899 as part of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway's London Extension from Sheffield which became the Great Central Railway. It was intended to serve the villages of Quorndon, Woodhouse and Woodhouse Eaves. A small goods yard, Stationmaster's house and railway hotel, The Manor, were provided. The station is of typical GCR London Extension design, with one double-sided island platform, reached originally from the road bridge. The island platform was cheaper to construct and more efficient to staff than the more traditional two-platform station.
In its heyday about 300 passengers a day used the station – workmen, clerks, typists and first class passengers too. At Bank Holidays, hundreds of visitors arrived for the beauty spots of Woodhouse Eaves and in the evenings flooded back onto the station and squashed back into their trains home.
Quorn & Woodhouse station was a popular station for releasing racing pigeons as the platform was open and there were no telegraph wires or obstructions. They often arrived in specially constructed Pigeon Carriages, one of which has been restored and runs in trains today.
Commercial activities were an important part of station life. A firm of builders' merchants had a depot in the yard; there were also coal merchants and deliveries of cow-cake and fertiliser for local farmers. Timber was sent out by train from the Beaumanor Estate. There was also a steady flow of food and drink from Fortnum and Mason inLondon to nearby Beaumanor Hall.
During the 1920s the Prince of Wales (later to become King Edward VIII and then the Duke of Windsor) was an occasional visitor as he enjoyed an outing with the Quorn Hunt. Express trains were stopped specially for him and he changed into his riding habit in the booking office with a porter posted outside.
The Great Central Railway became part of the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) at the Grouping of the railways in 1923.
During the Second World War the station played an important role. The War Ministry expanded the goods yard and added extra sidings. It was considered that the countryside around here was reasonably safe from the attention of enemy bombers. Ammunition was stored in bases in the local area during the build up to D-Day. Also, Beaumanor Hall at Woodhouse was at outpost of Bletchley Park Station X, important in code-breaking work, such as the Enigma codes.
THE STATION TODAY
Because of the association with the Second World War, the station has been restored, with some licence, to a 1940s theme and is currently being repainted into the LNER brown and stone colour scheme which it would have carried at that time.
The General and Ladies Waiting Rooms are in one building, complete with coal fires (in season) and period advertising. In the General Waiting Room we show films appropriate to the station's era. There is a disabled-friendly lavatory in the Ladies Waiting Room, together with a baby-changing table.
A second building houses the Booking Office with typical office furnature and with a genuine ticket rack dispensing proper Edmondson (cardboard) tickets. Our stationmaster is now based here, but under the stairs we have re-created a period Stationmaster's Office: notice the well-thumbed reference books and wartime accoutrements.
Attached to this room, under the road bridge, is the Air Raid Shelter which is where the village Home Guard met during the Second World War. Today you can purchase drinks and snacks in our NAAFI-style Refreshment Room which is open at weekends.
On the platforms you will notice a selection of barrows and trolleys with a collection of luggage and goods in transit and a perambulator complete with baby and gas-mask.
Adding to the wartime theme, notice that we are doing our bit for the war, with our Dig for Victory vegetable garden on the embankment across from Platform No.2 and the old pram collecting scrap metal for the war effort.
Look out for the early LNER colour-light signal next to the bridge at the end of Platform No.1. Next to it, there is a red telephone box (of the K6 type first introduced in 1935) currently under restoration.
The Gentlemen's Lavatory is in a separate building at the south end of the platform and originally was open to the elements, with no roof.
Just off the platform area, is the working signalbox, originally from Market Rasen in Lincolnshire and there is the apparatus used to transfer mailbags to or from moving trains. Try to be here on special events when this is demonstrated – it's an experience not to be missed!
Also in the station yard are the former Goods Shed and Weighbridge Office, a re-built Anderson shelter and the Butler-Henderson Café, open daily for hot and cold food. The original stationmaster's house at the entrance to the station is in private ownership.
Today, the station yard is used both as the railway's principal car park, but also an area for many special events, including Wartime Weekend, Bonfire Night, Railwayana Swapmeets, traction engine and children's events. Access from the car park to station platform is via a foot crossing over the railway line and a ramp onto the platform. In the yard you can also find the turntable.
All of us at Quorn & Woodhouse Station are unpaid volunteers. A wide variety of volunteers are needed at the station, including Uniformed Staff, Booking Clerks, Tea Room staff, gardeners and restoration volunteers working in the buildings and station yard.
We welcome new volunteers to our successful team, so if you are interested in joining us, please talk to the stationmaster on duty, contact the Volunteer Support Team: volunteers@gcrailway.co.uk (01509 633853) or e-mail the Senior Stationmaster : richard.bruce@gcrailway.co.uk

Degree fraud and UK universities - what's the latest?
Tom Pinder
As degree fraud presents a growing concern for the sector, action must be taken to ensure universities are still providing a valuable service and students are reaping the benefits of their hard work
The first Degree Fraud - Best Practice for UK Universities event, hosted by Prospects Hedd, was held on Wednesday 30 May 2018 at the Manchester Chamber of Commerce. This roundtable provided seven higher education bodies a chance to share their experiences, expertise and theories of best practice for tackling and preventing degree fraud in the future.
How seriously is degree fraud taken?
The issue of how seriously an institution takes degree fraud stems from the fact that, from university to university, there is no form of standardised practice in working to prevent it, or tackling it when encountered. Working in silos - unintentionally or otherwise - can lead to a breakdown in communication between departments and a lack of awareness about degree fraud and how to approach it as a wider organisation.
Ultimately, degree fraud makes victims of UK students by devaluing the hard work they have put into their courses, and victims of universities by devaluing the education they are giving.
'We have conversations with other parts of the university but they don't always take it up.' - Katie Stanford, academic registry coordinator at Nottingham Trent University
'Degree fraud is taken seriously in our department within the registry, but I'm not sure how seriously it's taken by the wider university, or how aware people are of it.' - Debi Gill, awards and conferments administrator at Manchester Metropolitan University
On encountering fake certificates
Fake certificates represent one of the more common ways in which universities contend with degree fraud, with fraudsters submitting increasingly realistic forgeries and developing a greater understanding of what they believe they can get away with.
The burden of responsibility here is also shared with the employers, screening agents, and embassies checking those credentials in the first place - for instance, the older a degree certificate is, the less likely the employer is to check it at all. Simply looking at a certificate is not checking it. There is still plenty to be done about this type of fraud when it comes to employer awareness - students are often very surprised to learn that employers are not routinely authenticating their degrees.
'If everyone checks, the fake degrees don't get through. It's that simple.' - Sharon Horan, graduation officer at the University of Wolverhampton
Discover how to spot fake degree certificates.
Student awareness
More can be done by employers, universities, and Prospects Hedd to help improve the low level of student awareness surrounding degree fraud.
Graduation is a prime example of this, as students pose proudly with their degree certificate for a photograph to be shared on social media, unwittingly making a high-resolution image of their certificate available for would-be fraudsters. Working collaboratively with universities and employers, Prospects Hedd aims to educate students on the perils of such practices and help them better protect their investment in their higher education.
'I think [awareness] is quite low - there's not a lot of information that we give out to graduates. They should be expecting to have their degrees verified.' - Katie Stanford, Nottingham Trent University
One of the longer-term goals for Hedd and institutions is to work together to create a set of principles that could help inform degree fraud best practice.
Ideally, the minimum requirement would be for all HR and admissions departments to check every single [potential] employee that comes into an institution, raising cross-departmental awareness and usage and positioning universities as leaders in the fight against degree fraud.
Students and graduates should be better educated on the subject too, as well as universities and employers, informing them that their degree is likely to be verified in the future and that ultimately the adoption of this consistent verification practice will become the norm.
There is a long road ahead as Prospects Hedd continues to grow its network of institutions and employers. Future events similar to this with universities nationwide will further the conversation and help work towards protecting more and more UK graduates from degree fraud and its effects.

Any other week the ongoing collapse in Deutsche Bank stock, which dropped to a fresh all time low, sliding below €7.00 per share and closing at €6.97 on Friday, dragging its market cap to just under $16.5 billion or below that of Expedia, would have been the primary topic of conversation.
However, in light of the numerous market "distractions" of the past week, it is understandable that the latest DB stock collapse would pass largely under the radar. And yet, for the bank with the €48 trillion in gross notional derivatives, when the market is signaling that something is wrong – which it clearly is with DB's stock which has tumbled 56% in 2018 – it is worth paying attention.
So in an attempt to frontrun a new wave of investor concerns over the relentless implosion of the largest German lender, Chairman Paul Achleitner said in an interview with Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung that Deutsche Bank is "well-positioned to weather a crisis" without state help, i.e., without nationalization.
Perhaps… on the other hand it is still unclear just what new skeletons in the bank's vault the local police found after their raid of DB's headquarters in late November, triggered by concerns the bank, which has been implicated in virtually every possible financial scandal, was also facilitating money laundering. Indeed, amid the bank's miserable turnaround which has seen hundreds of employees laid off, the dramatic images of police officers descending on the company's Frankfurt headquarters last month in a money-laundering probe was just the latest dark cloud.
Still, despite all the trials and mounting investor criticism, the Chairman plans to stick it out. "The shareholders trusted me with a mandate until 2022. I stand by that responsibility," Achleitner said in the interview.
And speaking of surviving a crisis, last week Deutsche Bank's chief global economist Torsten Slok published a list of what he thoughts were the 30 biggest risks to the market in 2019. Not surprisingly, it was missing what some believe could be the biggest crisis catalyst: the collapse of Deutsche Bank itself.

Greece is the latest country in Europe to consider the option of legalizing, regulating and taxing online gambling. Plans to do so are expected to take place later in the year, and the implementation of a new online gambling law could see the country earn an extra £2 Billion.
"The propensity for gaming in Greece is among the highest in Europe and the world," said George Christodoulakis, a senior finance ministry official. "This has to do with our temperament and culture … The only thing one can do is set rules," he said.
Currently, the country's illegal online gambling market is worth £4 Billion. It seems to be a huge waste for Greece's government, as it is losing out on millions of tax dollars. The Finance Ministry estimates that it could obtain at least half of the current online gambling business, raking in an impressive £2 Billion that the country is in dire need of.
Greece is currently suffering from a detrimental recession, which has been taking place for quite some time. Online gambling would be exactly what the country needs to pull itself out of its financial rut. However, as is the case with most countries considering online gambling, there is a great deal of opposition. It will be interesting to see how this legislation develops in the future.


"The Origins of Neoliberalism Part IV: A Map of Hayek's Delusion," January 30, 2013.
One crucial point brought out here is how Hayek's research program in economics essentially failed by the 1940s, and he turned to political and ideological posturing, in, for example, the Mont Pelerin Society.
Why did Hayek virtually give up on serious technical work in economics, you might ask?
"The very critique of general equilibrium theory that Hayek advanced … undermined his own research project on equilibrium and [sc. the] business cycle as structured in the early 1930s. In the programme to build a dynamic approach inspired by general equilibrium theory (such was the original intention and aspiration), reconciliation between equilibrium and cycle proved impossible, since there appeared to be no way to incorporate disappointed expectations and change into equilibrium models. The result was reached by Hayek himself as also by Lindahl and Hicks, while they were rethinking a common core of analytical questions about equilibrium left open by the Lausanne school. It turned out to be not the provisional weakness of an incomplete research project, but a substantial theoretical difficulty, which brought the project to a dead end. In 1937 Hayek's efforts to embody expectations and change in the structure of equilibrium models was not so much a solution to the insoluble problem as the beginning of new investigation, which brought Hayek practically to abandon the equilibrium scaffolding.
In the 1940s Hayek's research project ran aground due to difficulties in the theory of capital. A Pure Theory of Capital … marked another critical point on the ambitious path to merging equilibrium and cycle, starting from the Austrian vision of capital as investment of resources in structured time sequences. Complexity prevailed and Hayek gave up the project to incorporate monetary theory into his capital theory ... Meanwhile Hayek was moving in other directions, new tasks absorbed him, leaving the earlier research programme to take second place in his mind. Actually, it was never resumed." (Ingrao 2005: 244–245).
When Hayek's economics essentially failed, he turned to a different program: social and political theorising.
Thank you Philip!Execellent program and your qoute from Keynes about how Hayek crititized and read Treatise of Money is almost archetypical of how an Austrian Libertarian today react if one engage in a debate about some economic book or whatever issue A) "He feels that my analysis leaves out essential things" -B)"he finds it difficult to demonstrate the exact point of disagreement and to state his objections." C) "What he has done, therefore, is to pick over the precise words I have used with a view to discovering some verbal contradiction or insidious ambiguity." !!I never read this one from Keynes but this is simply brilliant!If one lay to that a ugly language,fanatism and capital letters it´s a spot on,description of the ordinary follower of the Austrian school!
Notice how Hayek never even seriously bothered to refute the General Theory.
By the time of Road to Serfdom he was endorsing Keynesian stimulus in a depression (whether honestly or tactically to avoid looking like a lunatic, as he had in the early '30s), and even his realisation that Walrasian GE theory was flawed was essentially moving him in the direction of Keynes's ideas, though Hayek persisted in dogmatic worship of extreme free market theology despite this.
It seems the key Austrian Libertarian,hater of as well UN and all sort of federal goverment and regulation of enterprize sue his fans.This is pretty funny.I wonder how his fanatic fan-club on this site react to this?
Ron Paul supporters are angry and confused about a complaint Paul filed with the World Intellectual Property Organization, an agency of the U.N., in attempt to regain control of RonPaul.com and RonPaul.org. "
"When Hayek's economics essentially failed, he turned to a different program: social and political theorising."
If only that was what he had done. My view is that he turned to infrastructure development for neoliberal propaganda. Starting with The Road To Serfdom and the Montpellier Society. Hayek constructed a neoliberal political mythology: calling it theorizing is as wrong as calling any religious viewpoint theorizing. Grotesquely myopic "theories" aren't really theories.
Yes, I did say "political and ideological posturing" above - probably a more accurate way of describing it, though I do think Hayek was sincere in these beliefs, if wrong.
Whether that concession was sincere or just tactical, I don't know.
Hayek might also have realized that it is easier to make unsubstantiated claims in political science and philosophy than to make in economics.


Despaña Brand Foods, the Queens-based importer and manufacturer of Spanish food products, is branching out with a new Manhattan store opening today on the eastern edge of Soho.
The company, which has been in the business of importing and producing Spanish specialties for 35 years, is a major wholesale supplier to New York City restaurants, including Casa Mono, Bar Jamon, and Daniel. Four years ago, owners Marcos and Angelica Intriago opened a tiny retail shop in Jackson Heights (previously featured here). "We found that more and more people were getting interested in our products," Ms. Intriago told me. "But, we just didn't have the kind of space to do what we wanted to do there."
The bright new 1,500 square foot space, awash in sunlight, carries a wide range of imported Spanish products, including Serrano ham, olive oils, vinegars, and cheeses, along with specialty items like honeys from the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands and Calasparra rice, a super-absorbent short grain rice that is perfect for paella. Despaña's own line of house-made chorizo and morcilla, blood pudding, are available, along with imported dry-cured chorizo and lomo, dry-cured pork loin.
If you find your appetite growing while perusing the shop, you can bite into bocadillos, small sandwiches stuffed with cured meats and cheeses. There are also plans for a regular series of in-store tastings of the shop's products.
"You can find Spanish ingredients in gourmet stores, but you can't find them all in one place," says Ms. Intriago. "Now, this will be your best bet for all of the special things people crave from Spain."
Despaña, 408 Broome Street, between Lafayette Street and Cleveland Place (212.219.5050).
2. Flavor Combinations With Champagne, Cognac and Cheese, the Artisanal Premium Cheese Center will present a discussion and tasting of cheeses paired with cognac and champagne, Wednesday, January 25, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m, at the Artisanal Premium Cheese Center, 500 West 37th Street, 2nd Floor. $75/person (877.797.1200).

The Food Section (along with The Accidental Hedonist, Chocolate & Zucchini, Too Many Chefs, An Obsession with Food, Slice, and Orangette) were featured in a roundup of food blogs appearing in the January 8 issue of USA Weekend. The Sunday magazine insert appears locally in Newsday.
Run by Josh Friedland, this award-winning blog touts itself as "All the News That's Fit to Eat." It's what is referred to as a filter blog, which posts a variety of food-industry information -- from recipes to articles to a calendar of food events (in the New York City area). Gourmet magazine calls it "the consummate gastronomic blog."
My wife has one of those ingrained childhood associations of prunes with prune juice that has left her avoiding the fruit in her adult life. What's more, the marketing efforts by the prune industry to re-brand the fruit as "dried plums" have been a total loss in her case. "They're still prunes," she would tell me.
But, when I saw her try (and, better yet, actually enjoy) a dessert of prunes cooked in red wine and served with mascarpone at Frankies 457 Spuntino (457 Court Street, Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn), I felt a tinge of victory that prunes had penetrated her culinary conscious.
I recently attempted a reconstruction of the dish at home and succeeded through sheer improvisation, particularly since we did not have any red wine on hand. Instead, I used port, and although port can be saccharine and potentially exaggerate the super-sweetness prunes, I found that adding lemon cut the sugar, added some acidity, and brought a touch of tartness.
I made up the recipe on the fly, so the measurements that follow aren't exact. The technique's the thing, starting with reducing about 1 to 1 1/2 cups of port over medium heat. As the alcohol burned away (watch out for a flame-up), I added two cloves, a cinnamon stick, and enough sugar to fill my palm. When the port had reduced by almost half, I strained out the spices and added about a dozen prunes, continuing to cook the sauce down until it became a thick syrup. At this point, I added the juice of one half of a lemon to tame the sweetness. If the sauce gets too thick and threatens to turn from a syrup into something closer to tar, just stir in some water. When it finally had the right consistency, I removed the pan from the heat. You can stop here if you'd like and refrigerate everything, reheating the prunes and sauce for serving later.
Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of mascarpone onto the middle of a plate (or, if you want to be fancy, form quenelles with the cheese), and layer the prunes on top, spooning the sweet sauce over and around the mascarpone. Warm, sweet fruit and cool, creamy mascarpone -- a combination even a lifelong prunophobe can't resist.

Cathay Pacific: Good peak season for Asia Pacific - not so, says FIS
HONG KONG's Cathay Pacific Cargo has reported a positive peak season, based on its performance and its role in transporting freight related to consumer-led holidays such as Singles' Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
But derivatives broker Freight Investor Services (FIS) does not confirm this positive outlook, reported London's Air Cargo News.
"Any hope of transpacific price recovery in 2019 has well and truly dissolved," said an FIS spokesman.
Said Cathay Cargo: "While still below what it was the same time last year, Cathay Pacific Cargo's performance has picked up since September and the last quarter of the year looks promising through October and November," said a company spokesman.
The company "appeared to shrug off the impact of the trade war in an extraordinary show of Chinese consumer power", as well as possible "positive inklings of a phase one trade deal between China and the US", he said.
"We are monitoring the movement of some production centres in the region and will be responsive to resultant changes in trade flows," he said.
But Freight Investor Services said: "Caught short on last week's information, the general consensus that Q4 2019 is a damp squib holds true for at least one major trade route - the impact of the trade war has restrained transpacific air freight, and shipping is poignantly demonstrated by the pre-mature decline of Asia-US prices.
In contrast to Cathay Pacific Cargo's statement, the FIS report implies that as a result of the ongoing US-China trade war, the transpacific region is suffering in Q4 - despite the consumer-led holidays that drive volumes during peak season.

November was a crazy, busy, great month for me! I saw my family for a weekend, changed jobs, explored Savannah and Charleston, and spent Thanksgiving in Atlanta within a span of two weeks! I'm excited to be in NYC for a few weeks before all the Christmas travels begin. December is going to be a great month filled with lots of cheer and time with loved ones. What are you all looking forward to most in December?
What I'm reminiscing about: Spending time with my family, the sweetest puppy, and Jon and his family. During busy season I never had the time to spend time or travel, so I'm really enjoying and soaking it all up now!
What I'm loving: NYC is all decorated for Christmas and it makes me so happy!!! I'm so so so excited to be here for the holiday season and do all the Christmas activities in the city. Last year we just did a few because I was only here for a weekend, but this year I'm here for good.
What I'm Up to: I just started a new job so that's exciting. I'm getting settled in and still figuring out my commute and all that. The other day I ended up having to take 4 different subways, it was a nightmare! I'm also in full Christmas mode! The apartment is very decorated, and I love it!
What I'm working on: planning all of my Christmas activities to make sure I don't miss anything! You can check out my winter bucket list if you missed it here.
What I'm watching/reading: we are watching This is Us still and all the Christmas movies. I've been reading a lot lately, especially before bed. I just finished Orphan Train and would highly recommend it. It's a quick read but very interesting and somewhat deep. I just started reading Doublebind. Any book suggestions??
What I'm doing this weekend: Jon and I are celebrating our 1 ½ year anniversary and getting dinner and maybe walking through Central Park.
What I'm looking forward to next month: Oh man January…not my favorite month at all! I think I'll be most looking forward to the fresh start of the New Year and getting back into a routine. These last few months involved a lot of travel so it'll be nice to have no travel plans and just relax and get organized.
Bonus- Favorite Christmas movie? My favorite movie is probably Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. It's just such a classic movie and so cute. I love every movie so this was a hard choice! The Polar Express is another favorite of mine.
I love the book "Orphan Train." Hard to believe this is how our country used to place children in foster care. I was told that Billy the Kid was on one of the orphan trains.
A big part of my next journey (after retiring) is devoted to foster care. We have an aged out foster son (Dejuan) and we work a lot with kids of all ages. Right now I am getting gift cards for aged out college students at Wayne State U and just gave a presentation to an Oakland County sewing group that will make flannel P.J bottoms and totes for the foster care girls at Vista Maria.

Berton, Pierre. The Invasion of Canada, 1812-1813. Canada: Anchor Canada, 1980.
This narrative history traces the developments leading to the invasion of Canada and the first two years of war, weaving the perspectives of American and British soldiers, Native Americans and the Canadians on whose land the battles were waged. The author, a popular Canadian historian, argues that if the War of 1812 had never been fought then Ontario (then known as Upper Canada) would have become part of the United States, and if Britain had lost, then all of Canada would have become part of the union. As it was, however, the war and the mythology around the war served to bring the local residents of both British and American citizenship together and begin the formation of a new Canadian culture.
Narrative history of the war. Suggests its importance in shaping an emerging nation. Borneman is an historian of the American west and this book places special emphasis on the struggle for western land in both the coming of the war and its long term impact on America.
An account of the American party politics that the author argues led to America's decision to declare war on Britain. Specifically, the author argues that fighting between the Federalists and the Republicans in national government forced James Madison to declare war in order to unite both parties and to demonstrate that America's "republican experiment" would succeed.
Buel, Richard. America on the Brink: How the Political Struggle over the War of 1812 Almost Destroyed the Young Republic. New York: St. Martin's, 2005.
Buel's book links party politics and foreign policy as it traces the nuanced ways in which Federalists worked to jeopardize (in Buel's analysis) the Federal government's policies in and prosecution of the war of 1812. Argues that the Federalists' actions almost ruined the new nation. Offers a solid explanation of the political, economic, and legal complexities of the period.

Fredriksen, John C. Free Trade and Sailors' Rights: A Bibliography of the War of 1812. Greenwood, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985.
Indispensable for both serious students and buffs of the War of 1812. In this bibliography Frederiksen offers over 5,000 book and periodical citations, identifies and briefly describes more than 100 manuscript collections and offers three appendices which include, among other things, a list of wartime newspapers.
This comprehensive study includes coverage of the military, political, economic and social aspects of the war. The author argues that divisions in American politics led to the nation engaging a war it was not fully prepared to fight. Written largely from the American perspective. The War of 1812: A Short History (1995) is an abridged version of this book.
A synthesis of the causes of the war finds the origins in the nationalism of the United States and England's underestimation of such nationalism. Also by the author: The War of 1812 (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1969).

This account of the most remembered action of the War of 1812 was written by a journalist.

Address the political, social, economic and cultural forces, interactions and impact of the ongoing battles to control the freshwater lakes and waterways at the center of North America. Essays help make the importance of this place and its resources clear.
This book documents the failure of President James Madison's strategy of reliance on the militia during the War of 1812. According to the author, throughout the war the federal government struggled with raising money to support the troops, mainly because there was political disagreement about the need for a standing army and between the state and federal governments as to who was responsible for the funding of the militia. As a result, the military was over-reliant on under-trained and under-armed citizen soldiers who often served as little as three months. The book also looks at the organization of the militia: the practice of hiring replacements, raising supplies, and the relationship between the militia and their commanders.
Sugden, John. Tecumseh's Last Stand. Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1985.
