Thursday 13 January 2022 17:10
Simon Cowell has officially proposed to his partner of eight years Lauren Silverman – after famously shunning marriage as "boring."
The 62-year-old music mogul popped the question on their New Year getaway to Barbados. Naturally, Silverman, 44, was left "stunned" by the shock proposal.
A source told The Sun: "Lauren was absolutely stunned and never in a million years expected Simon to pop the question. She burst into tears - happy tears - and obviously said yes straight away.
"Lauren has been Simon's rock over these past few years - supporting him when he broke his back, and through thick and thin generally. They make a wonderful couple.
The Rock trolls Amazon's delivery service in birthday message to Jeff Bezos
Keanu Reeves says the only celeb autograph he asked for wrote 'f**k you' in response
"Whilst Simon never thought he was the marrying type, he's realised he's met the woman of his dreams - and couldn't be happier. In the words of Beyoncé, it was time to put a ring on it."
Cowell met Silverman when she was married to property developer Andrew Silverman. Their affair later became public, and by the end of July 2013, news broke that Lauren was pregnant.
The X-Factor creator was quite the ladies man with a fair share of relationships and short-lived flings in the public eye.
Here is a full rundown of Simon Cowell's dating past:
Jackie St Clair (1970s)
Former Page 3 model dated Cowell back in the 70s, and the pair have maintained a strong friendship after their split.
She had an ongoing feud with Sinitta – another of Cowell's ex-partners.
Paula Hamilton (1977)
Paula Hamilton, one of the most famous faces of the 80s, said that she and Cowell were childhood sweethearts.
"I couldn't read or write until I was 11. So I was called stupid and bullied by teachers. Simon was really important to me because he stopped them picking on me," she told the Daily Mail.
She has also been very open about Cowell being the one who took her virginity aged 16.
Sinitta (On-off romance)
The pair met in the 80s and had a notorious on-off relationship over 20 years.
The pop sensation was asked whether she and Cowell had officially ended their romance, to which she told New! Magazine: "There was always an element of 'well, it's never really over.'
"But when Eric was born, that was it. I would never come between his family."
Louise Payne (1995)
Cowell and Page 3 model Payne shared three years of their lives together.
Cowell popped the question a few weeks into dating – but later broke off the engagement because he wasn't ready to have children.
Georgina Law (2000)
Following his called-off engagement, Cowell had a brief fling with a second Page 3 model – who later sold a story to the tabloids.
"I met Simon at the Spearmint Rhino Club where I used to work occasionally. This was before Pop Idol so he wasn't famous. He is a lovely man and we had a casual relationship for about six months. We weren't proper boyfriend or girlfriend, but we'd see each other regularly," she said.
Terri Seymour (2002)
Seymour was one of Cowell's longest relationships, with the music mogul rumoured to have given her a £6million 'parting gift'.
The pair still remain friends to this day.
Dannii Minogue (2007)
Cowell soon moved onto Minogue for a short-lived fling that he eventually admitted.
"I had a crush on her. It was Dannii's hair, the sexy clothes, and the t**s. I was like a schoolboy. She was foxy. She was a real man's girl. Very feminine. It was genuine love," he said in an interview.
Mezghan Hussainy (2009- 2012)
Hussainy was a makeup artist on American Idol, who Cowell was immediately infatuated with.
Cowell later ended up proposing in 2010, but they later called it off in 2012. As a parting gift, Simon allegedly bought Hussainy a multimillion-dollar mansion.
Carmen Electra (2012)
In a relationship that everyone had forgotten about, the pair first met when Electra starred as a guest judge on Britain's Got Talent.
Their relationship reportedly ended when she found Simon getting cosy with his current fiance, Lauren Silverman. Despite this, Electra still called him "awesome and very charming."
Lauren Silverman (2013- now)
This brings us to now.
Cowell has finally settled down with Lauren Silverman after romancing the socialite while still married to his friend Andrew.
Silverman and her ex-husband divorced when news of their affair broke and the announcement of her pregnancy with Simon's child.

Buildings of Good Performance – That excites us!
Being Engineers, Computer Scientists and Architects we know each other on the building site and in the Building Services Engineering. As specialists for Building Performance we want to make the quality of the Building Services Engineering transparent, plannable and testable. As a well-practised Team we contribute our long-term experience and innovative methods to the subjects of construction business and Software Engineering. So we use the possibilities and advantages of Digitalization, in order to offer faster and more efficient Planning, Advising and Engineering Services to the customers.
Our target is to enable lower operating costs and an optimal room climate right from the start-up of the building. The statement so to say, that Building Technology "regulates itself" for the first over a period of 1-3 years is not acceptable for us. Now it is possible for us to offer with our Digital Test Bench and the innovative Specification Concept of Automatic Operations also on the construction site that, what had already been established in Industry: Efficient Quality Management. Before the Site-Acceptance-Test we guarantee an optimal functioning of the Building Management System through the automated analysis of operating data and that it has been executed in accordance to the planning. This gives the assurance to the owners among our customers, to possess an energy-efficient building, which is free from operational risks, which would have caused to pre-matured installation attritions. So the lifetime-worth of their properties remain as long as possible. Engineers and Planning Experts among our customers get the assurance, to supply proved quality. That excites you – and, of course, us.
In Germany there are nearly 1.8 Mio non-residential buildings. Their technical concepts have become more and more sophisticated during the last years. Up to now, the steps to gain control the complexity of the Building Technology of these office buildings, water parks or university buildings are halfhearted, time-consuming and cost-intensive. And optimization attempts are not always crowned with success.
Our vision is the perfect Performance of Buildings. I. e., Building Services Engineering with a synchronized functioning works efficiently and properly to the application in question. The way up to that time should be easy, fast and transparent for all parties involved. The high complexity of modern buildings should be controlled by means of less, easy readable diagrams. And that from the very first day of commissioning as well as in completion. It is nearly done for our part.
As of 2000 we have been aware: It really functions! Building Performance which functions as it should be. In highly innovative buildings for search we could found with scientific methods, that just innovative buildings and installations must be optimally adjusted and operated. But it looked different in reality. Nearly none of the inspected office buildings functioned in praxis as they should be. And it became still worse: Very often nobody knew exactly how the inspected buildings should function. It isn't true we thought. So many malfunctioning buildings, considering the high investments and the significant additional building costs? But in deed, it was so: Bad building performance happened regularly! That was something to be changed from our side and our aim was from that time onwards: Perfect Building Performance. But not only for some few buildings with unpayable scientific analysis. We wanted perfect Performance for all Buildings. And for that aim we were in need of new solutions.
We found it in synergy with colleagues of the Software Engineering workspace. Quite exactly as the buildings, also the Software is developed as a unique project. And as well as for buildings many persons are involved, the requirements change frequently and the system becomes quickly very complex. However, Software has one advantage: It is already digitally, whereby boilers, pumps and valves are still Hardware. But that difference was the key: Meanwhile, all these components are controlled by BMS-systems, i. e. Software. And this supplies continuously data about the functioning of the components.
We developed a Test Bench for buildings with which we can specify and check the quality of the building performance on basis of generated automation data from the building services engineering. For that we have – for the very first time – transmitted high innovative modelling methods of the Software Engineering to buildings and to their installations, so that, nowadays, we can check building performance with a higher preciseness, in a shorter period and at more reduced cost.
This is the key for really sustainable and economical buildings. Now we are in the position to change the building landscape. The Software can be launched. The Digital Test Bench of the Building Performance functions. The membership of our Team increases steadily. The reference projects have been running successfully. 1.8 Mio. buildings are waiting to be put to the Digital Test Bench. We realize our vision: Perfect Building Performance!
synavision is a Team consisting of Engineers, Software-Engineers and Architects. We are tackling practitioners and analytic experienced scientists. We are at home in the subject of Building Management System: from the planning over the commissioning up to the operation. We act from conviction and do everything for the Vision of a Perfect Building Performance – for Buildings, which really function.


We all have memories of Sunday School as a child. A time when we learned about God and His love for us. That doesn't have to change just because we get older. Join us for Sunday School and continue learning about God and His great love for us. Each class enjoys great fellowship with times of sharing and faith. Oh, and don't forget to bring the kids either, we have classes for them too!
When we think of sharing the Good News about hope in Jesus, God's love and forgiveness, and life in God's spirit we are talking about a way of being. When we draw close to God, God draws close to us and we can be who we truly are in Christ.
When we think of discipleship, it is about allowing our lives to be formed in the process of following Jesus, with our whole person and community, engaging in God's mission and presence already present, and inviting others to do the same.
When we think of an art form discovered in the journey of following Jesus and the accountability of community, we are thinking of leadership. Christ-following leaders are often formed along the way and always in process and only ever arrive in further depths and variety of growing in grace and transforming relationships with God and others.

Desperate and despondent: the truth about the way we treat immigrant teachers
July 28, 2022 teacher recruitment, teaching workforceAARE blog, Alex Kostogriz, Mahtab Janfada, Nashid Nigar, teacher recruitment, teaching workforce
In the battle to fix teacher shortages, much is made of recruiting teachers internationally. Three researchers reveal what happens when non-native English speaking immigrant teachers try to join the local workforce.
As Australia faces a serious shortage of teachers, how do we treat teachers who come to Australia as non-native speakers?
Non-native English speaking immigrant teachers (NNESITs) comprise around 10 % of teaching workforce in Australia today but we know little about their professional experiences impacting their professional selves.
Early results of a large-scale study of 16 such teachers, analysing the narratives of their professional experiences across sectors, reveal this: they are treated unequally and inequitably from pre-migration up until they access their profession in Australia.
Some take years to secure jobs.
Their experiences of marginalisation and differentiation repeatedly challenged them to claim their professional identity before and after migration to Australia. This continued in varied forms within their professional contexts and beyond.
The key unique challenges involved are meeting requirements of the English language multiple times, getting their experiences and teaching qualifications fully recognised, and in some cases accepted even after their qualifications were recognised and upgraded to those of local equivalents.Then, despite meeting all eligibility criteria, these teachers still don't get work.
These challenges impacted them differently at material, social, cultural, emotional, and psychological levels. Even after accessing the profession, they were constantly judged by their non-native status, non-native English language uses, and their ethnicities.This leads them to feel like an imposter.
Some did experience assistance in developing their professional identity but in our research we are focusing on the data of how the constitution of the professional identity of these teachers in Australia was challenged throughout the stages of migration and settlement, and how that impacted their professional identity.
Before and after migration, these immigrant teachers (NNESITs) faced many professional challenges because of their cultural differences. Their professional status drastically dropped from a very high professional and social status to the one of the lowest. For instance, they had to meet English language requirements multiple times, such as for the purposes of immigration and for teacher registration. This also involves the change of requirements while applying for or renewing visas and applying for migration and teacher registration.
For example, a high school teacher, Laura said, for migration, she "took the IELTS test (one of the many requirements for a Secondary Teacher) four times. … applied for reassessment of the result of the fourth take". She had to spend around three months of her salary to pay for the fees for IELTS tests and review.
The English language requirements stipulated by for NNESITs by VIT (Victorian Institute of Teacher) and AITSL (Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership) are both linguistically and racially discriminatory because the requirements do not apply for native English-speaking teachers (NESTs) from BANA (Britain and the Australasian and North American nations).
Despite meeting all criteria, including gaining Australian qualification/s, getting an English language teaching teaching job was a monumental hurdle for them. Despite the English language and English language teaching being similar around the globe, it took months to years to access the profession before and/or after meeting the country-specific criteria. Most of them had no choice but to work in discriminatory cash-in hand, and/or low paid unskilled sectors: hospitality, cleaning services, children's and aged care services, call centres, taxi industry and community services.
Raphael reminisced,
"I wanted a job. It didn't matter what job I did. So I went and applied for a job as a train conductor … my first job in Melbourne. I've never found it hard to get a job, but I was willing to do some very, very low paid work. … I was a taxi driver for 10 years."
A highly revered teacher from India, Mahati, landed a job in a Sri Lankan grocery that still haunts her like a nightmare, "cooking, cleaning, packing, selling, etc – the worst time of my life!"
Frida felt utterly despondent and "discouraged" finding herself unemployed after having been employed full time in the Philippines and internationally "since graduating from university".
Failure to show Australian job experiences led Mandy to determine "I would apply for any kind of job [to] create income …".
Jasha almost gave up and thought "I would never find a stable and interesting job".
The impact of working in professionally unrelated and exploitative industries, the teachers' professional identity was negatively impacted, their self-esteem and professional spirit were greatly diminished.
Some were not called for job interviews until they had Australian qualifications and volunteer teaching experience, and some were repeatedly rejected after they were interviewed. Even after upgrading her teaching qualification at a renowned university in Melbourne, another high school teacher, Jigna, could not set her foot in a high school.
"I started shortly as a casual relief teacher. … I got an interview for a teaching position at a public school in Cranbourne. I was unsuccessful on the grounds of lack of experience. Then again, I was interviewed telephonically by SERCO, but could not be successful on the grounds of lack of Australian experience. I took up employment as a Coordinator for an after-school Program (OSHC) with Camp Australia. It utilised my VIT licence and got me into a school. However, it was far from a teaching career."
Now a TAFE teacher, Jasha believes "some schools even today are looking for 'native speakers' only". She had a job interview for "TESOL training to international students" but shortly after the interview finished she received an email: "Unfortunately, the position has been filled."
Some of our participants, despite being qualified and/or experienced high school and primary school teachers, chose to be employed in TAFE, community and ELICOS (English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students) sectors because they did not wish to be unemployed.
Immigrant teachers face many challenges to reconstitute their professional identity in Australia. If Australia wants to utilise immigrant teachers to address the current teacher shortage, then it must address institutional and micro socio-cultural and professional barriers to entry. To accept NNESITs' cultural professional repertoire as assets rather than deficit is the first step. Customised transition programs such as mentorship and ongoing support within and beyond professional contexts are also essential to transition and develop them further in new interculturally enriched processional context. It is both ethical and ecological to recognise and fully include NNESITs as legitimate teachers within Australian teaching sectors. It is suggested to engage in intercultural dialogue productively and to listen and be open to those who appear to be culturally and professionally different and be responsible to them.
When immigrant teachers no longer suffer the discrimination and marginalisation due to their cultural, linguistic and racial difference, they are then assured of equal rights and empowered to freely negotiate their professional identity.
Nashid Nigar teaches Master of TESOL and Master of Education programs at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne. She is a PhD candidate at Monash University, investigating immigrant teachers' professional identity in Australia. Amongst her study interests are teacher professional identity and theories, career development, academic literacy, curriculum development, and English language teaching and learning in intercultural contexts.

Can a company harness stem cells to treat injured horses?
Margaret Guthrie
Jan 24, 2008 | 4 min read
He sees us coming, head sticking out of his stall at Santa Anita racetrack in Arcadia, Calif., ears forward to catch the sounds of voices and the crinkling cellophane that heralds his favorite: peppermints. Four days earlier, Greg's Gold won again, pushing his earnings to $951,000 and setting a track record for 7.5 furlongs on the closing weekend at Hollywood Park.None of that seemed likely two years ago. In 2005, Greg's Gold ended a race he won with a bowed tendon. "The ligaments were just shredded," says the horse's trainer, David Hofmans, "and that usually means the end of a racehorse's career." The tendon and ligaments will heal with time off, but the resulting scar tissue reduces flexibility and the horse is slowed down significantly.
Hofmans and veterinarian Wade Byrd didn't want the horse's career to be over. Byrd had a solution: After administering a local anesthetic, he made an...

Nigeria's Election Umpire Plots To Retain Position
Faced with stiff opposition from various aggrieved interests especially in his home state, Imo State, Chairman of Nigeria's Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC), Professor Maurice Iwu is plotting to retain his position.
First in the series of the plot, chidi opara reports learnt from contacts very close to the election umpire is to educate Nigerians, most of whom are ignorant of the provision of the law setting up INEC, on the process for the removal of the INEC chief. This segment was what Professor Iwu acted out recently when he rightly stated publicly that only the Senate, Nigeria's upper Parliament can remove him from that position. The law that established INEC provides that the chairman can only be removed if the Senate in a two third majority passes a motion to that effect.
We learnt that prior to this pronouncement, the INEC chairman's foot soldiers had infiltrated the Senate where the carrot and stick approach was employed to secure a vote of confidence for the INEC chieftain. The carrot, according to a well placed national assembly contact was in form of a huge sum provided by the governments of Imo and Abia States through a two term Senator from one of the states in south-eastern Nigeria(name withheld for legal reasons), the stick, our contact further revealed was a threat to furnish the news media with details of the irregularities in the election of most of the Senators. "They were blackmailed and also paid for that vote of confidence", our contact concluded. The House Of Representatatives, Nigeria's lower parliament, though not given constitutional role in the matter, seem to be concuring with the Senate. Discreet checks at the lower Parliament revealed that most members would go with the Senators. We have however, so far, not seen evidence of blackmail or money exchanging hands regarding the position of members of the lower Parliament.
Opposition from Professor Iwu's state, comes mainly from the Owerri axis. The people of Owerri, in whose homeland the capital city is situated have been nursing the ambition to have one of their own occupy the seat of government in the State. Nobody from the Owerri axis have so far ruled the State since its creation in 1976.
This ambition was nearly realised in the 2007 governorship election when Mr. Martin Agbaso, from Emekuku, who contested on the platform of All Progressives Grand Alliance(APGA),was approaching victory before the election was cancelled. Mr. Agbaso who believed that the INEC chief cancelled the election and ordered a re-run to give his kinsman, the present governor an edge, have aside from a legal battle to have the election annulled, assembled an array of anti-Iwu elements, amongst whom is the Publisher of a fairly popular national news magazine, to orchestrate the removal of the election umpire.
chidi opara reports can now reveal that the INEC chieftain is presently organizing a counter force from his Mbano axis to counter "the Agbaso threat".

Dream Anime Vice Review #160: A.I.C.O -Incarnation- Jul 9, 2019 21:20:21 GMT
Post by Dream on Jul 9, 2019 21:20:21 GMT
A.I.C.O: Incarnation is a sci-fi series focused on a high school student named Aiko Tachibana who discovers she isn't exactly human and that she is somehow connected to an incident called the Burst where an experiment creating an artificial lifeform called the Matter led it to surge out of control and engulf the city in which the experiment was performed in. Learning more about her unique origins, Aiko is partnered with a group of Divers, who specialize in technology to counteract the Matter and aid to get her to the center of it to halt its growth.
A.I.C.O rehashes some typical tropes of sci-fi that include good-intentioned science leading to chaotic events and the efforts made by those responsible to atone for those actions. Still, the series does a great job at establishing the science and technology employed within the series that include the genetic experiments that led to the Burst's creation, the mechs and weaponry employed to counteract it, and how the science led to major breakthroughs such as artificial limbs and the plugsuits worn by the Divers. The series is pretty thorough in establishing its logic with the behavior and habits of the Matter, as well as the Divers adapting to its varying forms and actions as they press further into its territory.
In regards of plot and characters, A.I.C.O offers solid development of Aiko and her journey within Matter-infested territory with the Divers. Aiko gets much of the development throughout the series as she learns more about her origins and identity, gradually coming to terms with both as episodes progress. While much of the cast is not explored as deeply compared to our female lead, there is still enough dimension to their personalities for them to be likeable and there are still some within the cast who get their developments in connection to the problems caused by the Burst. In addition, the plot doesn't waste time on pointless side-plots or filler to pad out its runtime. The pacing of the series is reasonable enough to have its plot progress, while also allowing enough time to delve into more elements of the problems surrounding the Matter and those connected to it. The only major hiccup with the plot is the show's unnecessary need to add an antagonist in the final two episodes of the series, who becomes a tad bit over-the-top compared to his depiction in earlier episodes.
Visually, A.I.C.O seemingly sports a higher-than-average animation budget with how nice it looks. It sports nicely detailed and vivid scenic shots, creative uses of the Matter's forms and means to attack, and the tanks and mechs used by the Divers are nicely rendered in spite of sticking out from the regular visuals. Movement throughout the series is very fluid, with visual highlights being any conflicts that the Divers get into with various forms of the Matter.
In spite of some quality hiccups and not necessarily breaking any ground, A.I.C.O Incarnation is still a worthwhile sci-fi anime that offers up a solid foundation of plotting and exploration of the Matter's behavior and the advances that its creation brought about. I'd at least recommend checking the series out once if you are a fan of sci-fi anime.
Rating: 8.5 of 10
Someday I'll be gone
To somewhere that we belong
And God has never played his role
'Cause I'm the one who saves my soul
It's a perfect world we're longing for
So long...

"Wave Heights during Hurricane Katrina: An Evaluation of PPP and PPK Me" by Stephan D. Howden, David Dodd et al.
In August 2005 the eye of Hurricane Katrina passed 49 n mi to the west of a 3-m discus buoy operated by the Central Gulf of Mexico Ocean Observing System (CenGOOS). Buoy motions were measured with a strapped-down 6 degrees of freedom accelerometer, a three-axis magnetometer, and a survey-grade GPS receiver. The significant wave heights were computed from the buoy's accelerometer record and from the dual-frequency GPS measurements that were processed in two different ways. The first method was postprocessed kinematic (PPK) GPS, which requires another GPS receiver at a fixed known location, and the other was precise point positioning (PPP) GPS, which is another postprocessed positioning technique that yields absolute rather than differential positions. Unlike inertial measurement units, either GPS technique can be used to obtain both waves and water levels. The purpose of this note is to demonstrate the excellent reliability and accuracy of both methods for determining wave heights and periods from a GPS record. When the motion of the GPS antenna is properly understood as the motion of the buoy deck and not the true vertical motion of the sea surface, the GPS wave heights are as reliable as a strapped-down 1D accelerometer.

CPCA Prepares for WTO Showdown Over EU Classification for Titanium Dioxide
KEYWORDS Canadian Paint and Coatings Association / regulatory issues / titanium dioxide
OTTAWA, Ontario — The European Committee for Risk Assessment (RAC) has notified the World Trade Organization (WTO) of its intention to proceed with a number of regulatory actions including the proposal to classify titanium dioxide (TiO2) as a Category 2 Carcinogen under the EU's Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulation. If allowed to proceed, this regulation will cause significant global trade disruptions that will impact Canadian industries including paint and coatings.
The Canadian Paint and Coatings Association (CPCA) has been engaged on this issue through its membership in the International Paint and Print Ink Council (IPPIC) and its member associations in Europe. The WTO notification allows for non-European countries to engage on the issue as it is a Technical Barrier to Trade (TBT). CPCA is now engaging with Canadian trade authorities regarding the significant and unwarranted socio-economic and trade impacts that would result from the proposed classification, which would provide no benefits for the protection of human health.
CPCA President and CEO Gary LeRoux commented, "To date, the European process has been flawed and has not considered over 50 years of scientific evidence proving that titanium dioxide is a safe and crucial ingredient in paint and coatings products. The global industry remains hopeful that Europe will resolve the issue when it comes before the WTO."
TiO2 is an inert inorganic compound that is used as a white pigment in many industrial applications. These applications include the manufacture of paints, coatings, printing inks and wallcoverings, where titanium dioxide plays a critical role in providing essential product properties: whiteness, covering power, brightness, stability and durability of color that cannot be achieved with other raw materials. TiO2 is also used in many other consumer products.
The CPCA maintains that the powder form of titanium dioxide presents zero risk to consumers when incorporated in a finished product such as paint. Consumers and professionals using paint or ink products cannot be exposed to the powder form of TiO2, once it is embedded in a paint or printing ink.
During the manufacturing process, exposure to TiO2 powder might occur; however, national level regulations exist around dust exposure and protection of workers. Studies over 50 years, including 24,000 workers, have not found any correlation between workers exposed to TiO2 whatsoever. In addition, the five tests on rats cited by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) used unrealistically high amounts of titanium dioxide that would not be allowed in a manufacturing environment. This is in stark contrast to more than 2,000 tests conducted over many years on the same subject with the opposite conclusion. Based on this, CPCA and IPPIC members consider the use of TiO2 in paints, coatings, printing inks and wallcoverings to be safe for workers during the manufacturing process. This is further supported by the ongoing commitment of CPCA member companies to take every precaution to ensure the safety of their products and workers throughout their supply chain.
TiO2 was scheduled for evaluation under Europe's Reach Regulation in 2017, which is designed to recommend the most appropriate regulatory measures for a substance based on whether it poses a risk to the environment or human health. This process was pre-empted in 2016, by ECHA without evidence to support the current classification. CPCA and all IPPIC members, representing the coatings industry around the world, strongly supports reliance on sound scientific evidence to determine the risk management measures required for TiO2.

Did the United States really win the war of 1812?
The effect of the Pequot War was profound. Overnight the balance of power had shifted from the populous but unorganized natives to the English colonies. Henceforth [until King Philip's War] there was no combination of Indian tribes that could seriously threaten the English.
The significance of the Pequot War in history was that it tipped the balance of military power to the English, instead of the Dutch, opening the way to New England's settlement. The penalties of fighting in the Pequot War brought the wrath of the English and their allies on to the Pequot people.
The colonists' Indian allies joined them in battle and helped defeat the Pequot. A series of battles took place from 16 between New Netherlands settlers in New York and several Indian tribes (Lenape, Susquehannocks, Algonquians, Esopus).
The Massacre at Mystic happened as a revenge to the Pequot killing two Englishmen. The Puritans' religious rhetoric made their victory over the "heathens" in the Pequot War a significant factor in the formulation of Colonial/American Indian policy over the next three centuries.
The Mystic massacre, also known as the Pequot massacre and the Battle of Mystic Fort took place on during the Pequot War, when Connecticut colonists under Captain John Mason and their Narragansett and Mohegan allies set fire to the Pequot Fort near the Mystic River.
A pre-dawn attack on Mystic Fort that left 500 adults and children of the Pequot tribe dead, the Pequot Massacre (or the "Mystic Massacre") was the first defeat of the Pequot people by the English in the Pequot War, a three-year war instigated by the Puritans to seize the tribe's traditional land.
Hundreds of prisoners were sold into slavery to colonists in Bermuda or the West Indies; other survivors were dispersed as captives to the victorious tribes. The result was the elimination of the Pequot tribe as a viable polity in Southern New England, and the colonial authorities classified them as extinct.
On , two hours before dawn, the Puritans and their Indian allies marched on the Pequot village at Mystic, slaughtering all but a handful of its inhabitants. On July 28, a third attack and massacre occurred near present-day Fairfield, and the Pequot War came to an end.
In May 1637, the Puritans attacked a large group of several hundred Pequot along the Mystic River in Connecticut. To the horror of their Native American allies, the Puritans massacred all but a handful of the men, women, and children they found.
As tensions grew between all parties, the murder of trader John Oldham by the Manisses Indians of Block Island in July, 1636 resulted in a military response by the English of Massachusetts Bay that led directly to the Pequot War, the first battlefield site defined as Battlefields of the Pequot War.
The treaty The Pequot lands went to the Connecticut River towns. The other major feature of this treaty was to outlaw the Pequot name. Any survivors would be referred to in the future as Mohegans or Narragansett. No Pequot town or settlement would be allowed.
In accordance to the Treaty of Hartford, the Pequot tribe was abolished and their tribal name banned by the English. The captured remnants of the tribe, 200 men, women and children, were forced to assimilate into the Mohegan and the Narragansett tribes (Haynes).
On Decem, The Treaty of Ghent was signed by British and American representatives at Ghent, Belgium, ending the War of 1812. By terms of the treaty, all conquered territory was to be returned, and commissions were planned to settle the boundary of the United States and Canada.
This treaty, signed on Decem, ended the War of 1812, fought between Great Britain and the United States.
The main result of the War of 1812 has been two centuries of peace between both countries. The Americans failed to gain any territory from British North America, despite many American politicians' hopes and expectations, but still managed to gain land from Spain.
These "War Hawks," as they were known, hoped that war with Britain, which was preoccupied with its struggle against Napoleonic France, would result in U.S. territorial gains in Canada and British-protected Florida.
In fact, the war had a far-reaching impact in the United States, as the Treaty of Ghent ended decades of bitter partisan infighting in government and ushered in the so-called "Era of Good Feelings." The war also marked the demise of the Federalist Party, which had been accused of being unpatriotic for its antiwar …
But the United States was not really ready for war. The Treaty of Ghent was signed by British and American delegates on Decem, effectively ending the War of 1812. The first American attacks were disjointed and failed. Detroit was surrendered to the British in August 1812.

As it is, Satan is a being in Christian mythology that needs no introduction. Both theists and non-theists know who he is and what he is supposed to represent.
According to Christians, Satan (or sometimes Lucifer) is the arch-rival to the all-powerful, all-knowing God and actively strives to undo his divine works. God, we are told is the source of everything good, and Satan the source of everything that is evil. We are also told that Satan is extremely influential, that he and his army of demonic minions are constantly roaming the planet deceiving and manipulating people. As such, all evil, death, suffering and unbelief in this world can be attributed to the devil and his schemes. In spite of all this chaos, Christians still believe that their god is in complete control, but for some inexplicable reason, has chosen to keep this cosmic malefactor around even though he could have simply just destroyed him at any time. This, we are told is part of some grand, divine plan we are too puny to understand.
It does seem strange that an omni-benevolent god would not only create an thoroughly evil being like Satan, but that he would allow him such tremendous power to use so effectively in thwarting his own will. In fact, one could argue that if the Christian myth is taken to its logical conclusion, Satan is at the very least just as powerful as god or, at the very most, even more so, which completely undermines the Christian message. With this article, I will attempt to prove this very point, and for the sake of argument, will disregard the obvious fact that the Christians' claims about both God and Satan have never been proven to be anything other than elaborate make-believe.
To the Christian, everything in existence falls squarely into two camps: either something is good and consequently of God, or it is bad and of the devil. There is no middle ground whatsoever. This purely dualistic, black-and-white thinking forces Christians into believing that anyone who does not believe in their God is automatically a follower of Satan whether they are aware of it or not.
Owing to the aforementioned duality of thought, believers like to assert that any worldview, philosophy or scientific discovery that contradicts the bible and its claims is demonic. This is a great way of deflecting any and all criticisms of Christianity while keeping the fearful sheep in line. Don't believe in talking animals, a young earth and a six-day creation of the universe? Believe that dinosaurs exist and evolution to be true by virtue of the mountains of evidence in its favour? Think that meditation actually has some therapeutic benefits? Well, you've just been deceived by the devil and have bought yourself a one-way ticket to A Very Hot Place Indeed.
Christians tell us that the reason proven facts such as evolution, dinosaurs or an old earth appear believable is because of Satan's ability to deceive. Yes, he's so cunning, we are told, he can actually present something that looks much more credible than the words of almighty God himself, causing many to be unwittingly tricked into hell. As a result, Christians assert that one should be wary of anything that contradicts the bible and should even disregard their own reason or intellect because Satan can use those faculties to snare the impressionable by appealing to their pride and vanity. In the meantime, God, with all his majesty and glory is somehow unable to equivocate himself to the beings he created and, we are lead to believe, actually posits himself against the very same reason and intellect he created in the first place by hiding all evidence of his existence and demanding his followers rely on faith alone to perceive him.
What we see from this is a common, recurring theme in Christianity, where their God creates people with specific attributes and then sets everything up in such a way that it becomes "sinful" to use them. We are then told that anything appealing to those attributes is of the devil. What's even more bizarre is that the deceived are held responsible for what happens to them by God, who will punish them with eternal hellfire for being tricked by a third party.
God is less powerful than the devil since his sacrifice didn''t actually guarantee salvation for anybodyAs before, Christianity posits God as all-powerful and his arch rival Satan a "defeated foe", whose hold over believers was cancelled by the holy blood sacrifice of Jesus. Conversely, all non-Christians are still unwittingly enslaved by the devil by virtue of their non-belief, which suggests that Jesus' sacrifice, (intended to save all humanity) was limited in its scope and was only really able to save a select few (that is, Christians). This again implies that God is less powerful than the devil since his sacrifice didn''t actually guarantee salvation for anybody.
Satan is powerful enough to cause sickness, death and suffering. Christians "covered in the blood of Jesus" (a macabre concept if ever there was one), automatically have the advantage, but the devil is still able to cause sickness, death and suffering in the life of said believer should God, for some reason choose to allow it.
That an all-powerful God is only able to protect his followers if they telepathically put on invisible, magic armour (Ephesians 6:10-17), which makes them immune to attacks from invisible monsters in the "spirit realm", and that without this protection, this all-powerful God is utterly powerless to help them.
That Christians can heal people "in Jesus' name", but that same Jesus is not powerful enough to keep them healed, and if a condition ever returns, it is ultimately the person's fault for either sinning, forgetting to pray or not believing hard enough, thus allowing Satan a "foothold".
An unsuspecting person can be deceived by the devil into believing something that isn''t true while God sits back and watches, knowing this will lead to their eternal damnation, even though it is actually his will "that none should perish" (2 Peter 3:9).
God created a perfect world that became imperfect within days of its creation because the devil tricked the first humans, resulting in millions of people being born imperfect and destined to roast in hell forever when they die because of something that allegedly happened before they were even born. Also because of this, Satan now rules and controls the world God created. Epic fail on God's part.
The devil can quote the bible to fool Christians and is even able to masquerade as "an angel of light" (2 Cor 11:14).
Satan is the "prince of the powers of the air" (Eph 2:2) and can use this power to invisibly interfere with prayers and stop them reaching god.
From that list, it would appear that God is constantly on the back foot and always playing catch-up to a lesser being that seems able to best him at every turn. Where Satan acts, God reacts and when Satan's "works" of death, sickness, deception are unleashed, God does absolutely nothing and even blames the deceived for being tricked by the devil unawares. What's more, Christians would have us believe that at the End of Days, most of humanity will end up going to hell with Satan and his demons, which suggests an overwhelming majority win for the devil.
What we can conclude from everything written here is just how flawed the Christian concept of the devil really is in relation to a supreme, all-knowing, all-powerful God and, above all just how stupid it all sounds. Christians say their God is omnipotent, but at the same time has to contend with a lesser adversary who often gets his own way in spite of what God wills. When this happens, they argue that it's part of "God's plan". As such, the Christian tries to have it both ways.
This disparity was something I often struggled to understand when I was a Christian, as I was constantly reminded of "the devil's schemes" and how he was always looking to (and often would), confound Christians through "spiritual warfare". In the light of everything I was taught about God, this didn''t make any sense, and in the final stages just prior to my complete de-conversion, I concluded that it would be exceedingly cruel for a god supposed to be all loving and all powerful, to allow an evil supernatural being free reign to run amok and batter his creation at will. It would be like a parent deliberately placing a cobra in their children's bedroom then punishing those children for being bitten.
So, taking all of the above into consideration, who really is winner in this cosmic fairy-tale? Who really has the upper hand? If this were an electoral race for presidency, who do you think would come out on top? Who is really the daddy here? I''ll leave you to decide.
