Photos: The style of Ringo Starr
The style of Ringo Starr – On July 7, on his seventy-fourth birthday, Ringo Starr was named the face of John Varvatos' Fall 2014 campaign, adding one more notable look to his more than fifty years as an avatar of style.
The style of Ringo Starr – Drummer Ringo Starr's unique fashion sense has long been a part of his appeal to 'Beatles' fans. In this 1959 portrait, Ringo shows off a classic rock 'n roll pompadour hairstyle. At the time, he played drums for 'Rory Storm and the Hurricanes' before joining the Beatles later that year in Liverpool, England.
The style of Ringo Starr – Suit and tie was a staple in the early days for British drummer Ringo Starr, pictured here on his 24th birthday in 1964.The look was typical of the British "Mod" subculture, though when asked in 'A Hard Day's Night' if he was a "mod or a rocker," Ringo replied, "I'm a mocker."
The style of Ringo Starr – In 1966 The Beatles, pictured here with their manager Brian Epstein (right), received the Golden Otto award for being 'the best Beat group in the World', though judging by Ringo's striped suit and patterned tie, not necessarily the best dressed.
The style of Ringo Starr – In stereotypical 1967 attire, George Harrison, Ringo Starr and John Lennon of the Beatles, at the EMI studios in Abbey Road, as they prepare for 'Our World', a world-wide live television show broadcasting to 24 countries with a potential audience of 400 million.


When I first wrote Takeover, I didn't expect that book to spawn a series, or for the characters to span out into the incredibly vibrant people they became.
Some of the bits and pieces you'll find here are out-takes from the novels. Some are vignettes that either occur between the novels or before. All are more or less canon in their world. I've placed them in chronological order, rather than in the order I wrote them.
I'll be adding to this page over time.
This is an ~8,500-word epilogue of sorts to Takeover. Occurs directly after the events in Takeover.
These scenes take place right before Justin graduates with his MBA.
This is a 1300-word short featuring Brian making coffee for Justin and Eli. Occurs the autumn before Daily Grind begins.
This is a 1200-word short featuring Rob after he moves to Pittsburgh. He meets Sam Anderson for the first time. Occurs before Daily Grind begins.

This is a 2800-word short with Eli, Justin, Sam, and Michael watching a Pittsburgh Penguins Game. Michael is in a mood. Justin might be a little jealous. Eli knows too much about everyone in the room. Occurs after Daily Grind.

The 5: Takeaways from the Coyotes' introduction of Alex Meruelo Johnson, a third-round pick from Northern Iowa in 2015, broke onto the national scene this past season. He led the NFL in total touchdowns with 20, touches with 373, and yards from scrimmage at 2,118. The yards from scrimmage mark set a franchise record for a single season.Of his 373 touches, a healthy 80 were on receptions, which he turned into 879 yards and four touchdowns."They're able to use him as a quasi-wide receiver," Brooks said. "He's really added a dynamic and a dimension to their offense."Though the Cardinals were not especially relevant nationally given their 7-8-1 record, Johnson earned due credit for his productivity. He was a First Team All-Pro selection and a Pro Bowler, and Pro Football Focus graded him as the best receiver of 2016.Johnson wasn't able to play the Pro Bowl after suffering a knee injury in Week 17 against the Los Angeles Rams. While originally feared to be a tear, he was diagnosed with a sprained MCL that did not require surgery.And, as Johnson noted via his own Twitter account, he seems to be progressing nicely.With high praise coming from several sources, most recently Jeremiah and Brooks, Johnson has a large spotlight on him as he prepares for his third season.

(AP Photo/Ross D. Franklin) Top Stories Comments Share NFL Network analysts Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks ranked the top five NFL players of 2016 on "Move the Sticks," and a Cardinal made the list.Second-year running back David Johnson placed fourth, behind Le'Veon Bell, Tom Brady and Matt Ryan and above Landon Collins."We know what he can do running the rock, but you can line him up outside, you can line him in the slot, he can run routes out of the backfield," Jeremiah said. "He gives your offense so much flexibility."

Fideprommissio of fideprommitto was een jongere vorm (6e eeuw v.Chr.) van stipulatio, die volgde op de spondeo.

Deze overeenkomst is volledig gebaseerd op de wederzijdse fides ("trouw") van beiden partijen. Opvallend is ook dat de fidepromissio ook voor peregrini (niet-Romeinen) geldt (Gaius, Instituten III 93, 116, 120). Zowel de spondeo als de fideprommissio zijn vormen van mondelinge contracten (Gaius, III 119; dit wil zeggen dat ze niet volgens dezelfde regels als schriftelijke contracten moeten gebeuren). De schuld is niet overdraagbaar op erfgenamen (Gaius, III 120.).

'On the up': How Norfolk seaside village is in UK's top 10 for house prices

The seaside resort of Mundesley has seen house prices rise 40pc in five years.

Up there with Port Talbot and Cornwall, this resort, boasting a magnificent stretch of beach, saw a staggering 40pc increase in average house prices over the past five years, according to Rightmove. The average house price now in Mundesley is £286,254, well above that for the county of £256,567.
It comes as it has seen enormous investment over the past few years with 44 new homes, priced from £230,000-£487,000, built at Mundesley Beck, by Dewing Properties.
Meanwhile millions has been invested in the Mundesley Holiday Village with owner Tim Hay transforming the site into an upmarket leisure destination.
Part of his strategy was to provide few facilities on site meaning visitors have to use local businesses for food, drink and entertainment. As a result, the village has flourished and now has its own post office, butcher's, florist, convenience store, takeway and hair salon.
However, improved infrastructure and price hikes means less affordability – seen further along the coast in Burnham Market, which started out as a small fishing village and now dubbed Chelsea-on-Sea for the high value of homes.
David Harding, Mundesley Parish Council chairman, said: "Mundesley is a lovely place to live but there's a double-edged sword, every house owner likes it when the value of their home goes up but it comes with some anxiety over affordability, especially for young people.
"We are researching the impact of house prices in our neighbourhood plan to try and help with this."
Ian Webster, director of Dewing Properties, said: "We thought Mundesley was a lovely place to live with its wonderful stretch of beach, we had a belief that it was a desirable location but we didn't want to price ourselves out of the market. However, we were surprised in Mundesley at the market 18 months down the line after building the houses, it's definitely on the up."
Jan Hytch, chairwoman of the NDAEA, Norwich and District Association of Estate Agents, said: "It's no great surprise that there continues to be such strong demand for homes in Mundesley. It is well located, it has a superb sandy beach, good shops, and above all a vibrant local community."
Sue Hall, agent with Arnolds Keys, which is currently selling an apartment in Mundesley for £199,000, said: "Although Mundesley does attract its share of second home buyers, I don't think it is likely to become another Burnham. The village has a really well-balanced community, with a good mix of young families as well as older people amongst its permanent residents - which means it retains more of a 'real' feel than some of the north Norfolk coastal hotspots.
"It is this strong community which is a big part of its appeal, and as a result the village is not just attracting holiday home-seekers from London and the south-east, but those who want to be a permanent part of the village community as well."
The top 10 coastal locations showing house price growth, according to Rightmove, over five years:
1. Mumbles, Swansea, £344,832, 47pc
2 Camber, East Sussex, £305,891, 45pc
3 Fowey, Cornwall, £487,531, 45pc
4. Sandilands, Lincolnshire, £268,527, 43pc
5. St Margaret's-at-Cliffe, Kent, £362,982, 42pc
6 Aberavon, Port Talbot, £136,710, 42pc
7 St Agnes, Cornwall, £442,383, 40pc

9 Mundesley, Norfolk, £286,254, 40pc
10 Benllech, Anglesey, £289,390, 40pc
Why Mundesley is 'on the up'
Mundesley saw its heyday in the Victorian times when visitors would flock by train for a seaside trip. The village even had its own railway station and large hotels sprung up to accommodate the visitors. During the Second World War, the village was considered such a tonic that a 'Flak House' was converted from a large property on its clifftop as a centre of rest and recuperation for combat-weary airmen.
But, sadly, like so many locations, when the railway was closed down in 1964, the village dwindled. With the increasing popularity of the North Norfolk coastal retreats like the Burnhams and the beach at Holkham – attracting celebrity customers and even a Hollywood movie, Shakespeare in Love – places like Mundesley were almost forgotten about by visitors.
However, as investment grew over the past few years, suddenly the resort started to change. And that upward transition is being reflected in the house price growth.

Fighting extradition, Huawei CFO writes of 'moments of fear'
Dan Bilefsky, The New York Times
Posted at Dec 03 2019 09:34 AM
Huawei Technologies Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou returns to British Columbia supreme court after a lunch break during a hearing in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Sept. 30, 2019. Lindsey Wasson, Reuters
On the anniversary of her arrest, Huawei technology executive Meng Wanzhou has written a reflective, sometimes plaintive letter describing her year in detention in Vancouver as having "moments of fear, pain, disappointment, helplessness, torment, and struggle" but also acceptance and more time for herself.
Meng, 47, a former secretary at Huawei who rose to become its chief financial officer and public face of the company, was arrested in Vancouver last December after the United States had requested her extradition on fraud charges.
She has been freed on bail but is not permitted to leave Vancouver. She is accused, among other things, of deceiving four banks to enable Huawei to evade U.S. sanctions against Iran.
"Over the past year, I have also learned to face up to and accept my situation," she wrote in the letter, which was published on Huawei's website Sunday. "I'm no longer afraid of the unknown."
Her arrest, she wrote, had radically changed her daily life, allowing more time for hobbies like reading and painting.
"When I was in Shenzhen, time used to pass by very quickly," she wrote, referring to Huawei's headquarters city in southern China. "Every day, my schedule was fully packed and I was constantly rushing from place to place, and from meeting to meeting."
She continued: "Right now, time seems to pass slowly. It is so slow that I have enough time to read a book from cover to cover. I can take the time to discuss minutiae with my colleagues or to carefully complete an oil painting."
The arrest thrust Canada into the center of a diplomatic struggle between China and the United States. China has detained — in retaliation, some say — two Canadians and accused them of espionage. It has also sentenced two other Canadians to death on drug-related accusations.
China cut off trade of Canadian canola oil and, for a time, halted beef and pork imports, though those restrictions were lifted in November.
The extradition hearing is scheduled to begin in January after months of hearings in which the prosecution and defense have wrangled over the circumstances of her arrest and the validity of the charges.
Meng has cut a glamorous figure in court, variously wearing casual outfits or colorful designer dresses. On the day of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in September, she wore a bright red dress, adorned with an enamel Chinese flag pin. Her penchant for designer stiletto heels, sometimes with glitter on them, draws attention to the GPS-tracker on her left ankle that she has been ordered by the judge to wear to make sure she does not flee the country.
Yet the contrast between her gilded detention in Vancouver compared with the fate of the imprisoned Canadians in China has raised hackles in Canada.
While the Canadians are held in isolation in undisclosed locations, denied access to lawyers, and prevented from going outside or seeing sunlight, Meng has been out on bail of 10 million Canadian dollars — about $7.5 million — and living in a gated, seven-bedroom mansion in the city's exclusive Shaughnessy neighborhood.
The mansion, which Meng owns, has been estimated to be worth as much as CA$16 million.
Meng is also able to travel relatively freely around the city.
In the letter, Meng thanked supporters and Huawei's customers for standing by her.
"In Chinese, the character for 'light' is composed of two parts: one that means fire, representing hope, and one that means people," she wrote. "My dear friends, your warmth is a beacon that lights my way forward, and I appreciate it more than words can say."
She also paid tribute to Canadians and saluted the kindness of the security officers, both at the correctional facility where she was initially held and during her confinement under her bail terms.
Meng's lawyers have argued that her actions do not constitute a crime in Canada, a prerequisite for the case to succeed. Her defense also says Meng is the victim of an elaborate conspiracy by Canadian border agents and the FBI to arrest her in what they have characterized as a politically motivated case pressed by President Donald Trump to get a better trade deal with China.
The defense has also filed a civil case against Canadian authorities, arguing that her rights were breached when she was initially detained in Vancouver.
Canada has a record of granting about 90 percent of extradition requests, and legal experts say Meng is likely to be extradited, though it could take months — or even years — for the courts to reach a final decision.

Care2 Causes | 10 Big Bills We Need to Pass for Animals This Year
10 Big Bills We Need to Pass for Animals This Year
By: Alicia Graef
Follow Alicia at @care2
Last year was certainly an interesting one, and while we celebrated a lot of victories for animals, there's always more we can do to move towards a world where they're protected from harm. There are now a number of bills pending in Congress that could significantly change things for the better. Some of them have been on the agenda for a while and have yet to pass, despite support, while others have been recently introduced. The new year offers us a chance to tell our representatives to make the following 10 bills that protect animals a priority:
The Prevent All Soring Tactics (PAST) Act
A few years ago The Humane Society of the United States released disturbing undercover footage that brought the cruelty inflicted on gaited horses to get them to achieve an unnaturally high gait otherwise known as the "Big Lick"to a much wider audience. Despite the public outrage that ensued, and abuse that continued to be exposed, legislation has yet to be passed that would protect them from this horrifying abuse.
The Prevent All Soring Tactics (PAST) Act (H.R. 1847), will hopefully end some of the worst abuses found in the industry by banning action devices, including stacks and chains, ending the industry's self-regulation and strengthening penalties for violations.
Please sign and share the petition urging Congress to protect gaited horses by passing the PAST Act.
The Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act
Hundreds of thousands of horses are tragically still at risk of being shipped abroad to be slaughtered for human consumption. Not only are the transport and slaughter methods used for horses considered inhumane, the consumption of their meat also poses a serious health risk.
The Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act (H.R. 113/S. 1706) will ban horse slaughter in the U.S., and ensure that horses are not shipped across the border for that purpose. Not only will it protect horses from inhumane treatment and slaughter, it will also protect us by keeping inherently problematic slaughterhouses out of our communities and ensuring taxpayers aren't footing the bill for inspections, in addition to keeping toxic horse meat away from consumers.
Please sign and share the petition urging Congress to take a stand against this predatory industry by passing the SAFE Act.
The Pet and Women Safety (PAWS) Act
It's called the Pet and Women Safety Act (H.R. 909/ S. 322), but this bill aims to protect all victims of domestic violence with companion animals, regardless of their gender, by ensuring they don't have to make a choice between their own safety and that of their beloved pets.
According to the bill's sponsors, as many as 25 percent of domestic violence survivors have returned to an abusive partner out of concern for their pet, while other surveys have found that nearly half of battered women put off leaving a dangerous situation out of concern for their pets' safety, while between 49 percent and 86 percent reported that their pets had been threatened, harmed or killed by abusive partners.
The PAWS Act will expand federal law to include protection for companion animals and will establish a grant program for shelters to make accommodations for them, which will help keep both human and animal victims safe.
Please sign and share the petition urging lawmakers to help ensure all victims of domestic violence have the ability to leave, knowing their pets will be safe.
The Dog and Cat Meat Prohibition Act
Animal advocates have been fighting to end the dog and cat meat trade in countries including China and South Korea, where hundreds of thousands of animals are brutally killed for their meat. While it seems like something that would never happen in the U.S., killing dogs and cats for their meat is technically still legal in 44 states.
The Dog and Cat Meat Prohibition Act (H.R. 1406) would ban the slaughter, trade, import, and export of dogs and cats for human consumption, and supporters hope it will keep this trade from ever taking a real hold here, in addition to setting a moral precedent.
Please sign and share the petition urging Congress to to take a stand on this issue and set an example for the rest of the world by passing this legislation.
The Shark Fin Sales Elimination Act
As apex predators, sharks play a critical role in maintaining healthy marine ecosystems. Sadly, populations around the world are declining rapidly and it's estimated that more than 70 million are being ruthlessly killed every year just for their fins.
While some states have acted to protect sharks from this brutal trade, the U.S. is still playing a major role by importing and exporting shark fins, and as a transit country for shipments of shark fins.
The Shark Fin Sales Elimination Act (H.R. 1456/ S. 793) would ban the import, export, possession, trade, and distribution of shark fins and products containing shark fins, eliminating the need for further state legislation and reducing our contribution to this inhumane and unsustainable trade.
Please sign and share the petition urging Congress to protect sharks by passing this important piece of legislation.
The Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture (PACT) Act
A few years ago, many people were disturbed and upset after hearing news about videos that show small animals being intentionally tortured and killed in what are more commonly known as "crush videos" or "crush porn." While a law was passed banning the creation, sale and marketing of these sickening videos, it didn't address the underlying cruelty being inflicted on animals.
The Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture (PACT) Act (S. 654) will help address that problem by extending federal jurisdiction to cases involving these disturbing acts of cruelty and increasing penalties for those involved.
Please sign and share the petition urging Congress to protect both animals and the public from those who engage in these heinous acts of animal cruelty.
The Traveling Exotic Animal and Public Safety Protection Act (TEAPSPA)
While wild animals have been used in circuses for decades, we now know so much more about what they need to be physically and psychologically healthy and the evidence shows that traveling circuses can never meet their needs, even with the best of intentions. Around the world, 34 nations have ended the practice, but the U.S. is lagging behind.
The Traveling Exotic Animal and Public Safety Protection Act (H.R. 1759), would end the use of wild and exotic animals in traveling circuses once and for all, over concerns about both their welfare and the safety risks they pose to us.
You can show your support for this critical legislation by signing and sharing the petition asking Congress to pass the TEAPSPA.
The Humane Cosmetics Act
We've continued to celebrate as a growing number of countries around the world have stepped up to end the inhumane and unnecessary practice of testing cosmetics on animals, but the U.S. has yet to join them. Banning the practice will do more than just end the suffering of animals used in cruel and painful tests, it will also benefit us by encouraging the continued development and validation of more alternatives that are cheaper, faster and more reliable.
The Humane Cosmetics Act (H.R. 2790), which was reintroduced this summer with bipartisan support, will make it illegal to conduct or commission animal testing for finished products and ingredients, in addition to banning the import of products that have been tested elsewhere.
Please sign and share the petition urging your representative to support passing this to both end the suffering of animals in labs and to ensure companies in the U.S. can compete in an increasingly cruelty-free global marketplace.
The Big Cat Public Safety Act
It's currently estimated that there are more than 10,000 privately owned big cats in captivity across the nation. While some states have laws banning the private possession of big cats, others have weak or no laws in place at all, leaving big cats to suffer in any number of situations that can range from simply not meeting their needs to being downright abusive.
The Big Cat Public Safety Act (H.R. 1818) would strengthen existing federal legislation by closing loopholes to prohibit both private ownership and breeding of big cats in the U.S., with exemptions for sanctuaries and exhibitors who are licensed by the United States Department of Agriculture.
Please sign and share the petition asking Congress to protect both us and big cats by passing the Big Cat Public Safety Act.
Refuge From Cruel Trapping Act
Since the first National Wildlife Refuge was designated in 1903, hundreds of refuges have been created and 150 million acres of land and water across the nation have been protected. These refuges now provide homes to hundreds of species, including those who are endangered and threatened, and they draw millions of visitors each year.
Unfortunately, even though these refuges were created as havens for wildlife, many of them are also places where wildlife can be targeted by commercial and recreational trappers. Today, trapping is shockingly allowed in an estimated 300 refuges, which is more than half of the nation's 566 refuges within the National Wildlife Refuge System.
The Refuge From Cruel Trapping Act (S. 1919) will ban the possession or use of body-gripping traps, including snares, Conibear traps, and steel-jaw leghold traps, within the National Wildlife Refuge System.
Please sign and share the petition urging members of Congress to support and co-sponsor this important piece of legislation that will make refuges the havens for wildlife they were meant to be.

Home News Totepool's New Year Bonanza at Musselburgh
Totepool's New Year Bonanza at Musselburgh
Musselburgh Racecourse Totepool New Year's Day Race Meeting.
A gamble to bring in the New Year by launching Scotland's only horseracing meeting has paid off handsomely for Musselburgh Racecourse.
Building steadily since the New Year's Day race meeting was first held in 2011, the East Lothian track has broken the 5,000 attendance barrier for the first time, with crowds up by 30% on last year. The six card race meeting, which carried prize money of more than £120,000, also features the world's oldest professional athletics race, the New Year Sprint, and 2016 saw a 147 year old record smashed with the first female sprinter claiming the coveted title.
More than 5,400 horseracing and athletics fans were on their feet to roar home 18-year-old Jedburgh sprinter Jazmine (correct) Tomlinson as she triumphed in the handicap race to win the £4000 prize and crystal trophy.
Bill Farnsworth, general manager at Musselburgh Racecourse, said he was delighted years of hard work by his staff had paid off in establishing New Year's Day as a premier sporting event.
He said: "It was quite a gamble to launch the New Year's Day meeting back in 2011 and we got off to the worst possible start when in the first two years we had to abandon the meetings because of poor weather. It was not a great start and attendances after this in 2013 and 2014 were pretty disappointing, which left us wondering if we'd made the correct decision, but with hindsight the slow start was understandable."
Mr Farnsworth said a spike in attendance in 2015 finally showed the New Year's Day meeting might fulfil its potential and laid the foundation for this week's record attendance on 1 January.
He added: "This year we were blessed with good weather again and the day truly came of age. The crowd was nearly 5500 (up almost 30%), the racing was high class, the track looked fantastic, and the production on CCTV/Racing UK/Ch4 was top class and professional.
"The marquees, bars and restaurants coped very well under a lot of pressure, the New Year Sprint was dramatic and we watched history in the making as the race welcomed its first female winner in 147 years.
"It was all carried out in a great atmosphere and just the perfect day to showcase the excitement of jump racing. It was a great team effort and I am very proud of the entire team for a very well executed raceday."
The featured race was the Totepool Hogmaneigh Hurdle (see what they did there?) worth nearly £20,000 to the winner and which was won by the 5/2 favourite Aristo Du Plessis ridden by Diarmuid O'Regan and trained by James Ewart. My tip, Pearl Castle was second with Zaidiyn third.
It was a good afternoon for the favourites with Sir Chauvelin (10/11) winning the opening race the toteplacepot First Foot Juvenile Hurdle at 12.25 and Away For Slates (3/1) winning the Totepool Happy New Year Handicap Hurdle at 1.00. My wife took great delight in backing the winner of the totequadpot Scottish Premier Chase (handicap) at 1.35, Indian Temple romping home at 17/2.
By the time the final two races were due, this reporter was assessing his losses. A quick post on social media pleading for assistance paid immediate dividends. I backed the favourite Wakhan (11/4) who duly won the Scoop6Scoccer The £1 Million Football Bet Novices Handicap Chase at 2.45 and I was at the break-even stage for the afternoon.
This left the final race of the afternoon – the Win A Football With Scoop6 Soccer Handicap Hurdle at 3.20. To my delight, Donna's Diamond held off the attention of Harry Hunt to win at 6/1 and return a rare profit for this punter.
It was a great afternoon, as it always is at Musselburgh Races. A huge crowd lapped up the action and it was a cracking way to start the New Year.

The political crime of Belgium in the Congo
December 17, 2014 OPINION/NEWS
Joel Savage
In 1914, when the Germans invaded Belgium during the war, they committed many grievous atrocities against the civilian population.
It is estimated that nearly 6,000 Belgians were killed and 25,000 homes and 837 communities were also destroyed. This historical fact is considered the greatest crime against humanity in Belgium.
To a country like Belgium in that period, the destruction was tough, thus; calling for justice but comparing to what King Leopold II, did to the Congo during the colonial era, one can agree that what the Germans did to the Belgians was just the tip of the iceberg. Nevertheless; crime, whether small or big, should be punished, even though many seem to elude it.
The swift European scramble over African territory took place from the 17th century to the 20th century. The European Kingdoms including France, England and Belgium, took the advantage of the cordial relationship and trust between them and the tribal chiefs and plundered the continent. Among the greediest, brutal and savage, was King Leopold II of Belgium.
Leopold colonized Congo which officially became his personal property in 1876. Under false pretense of protecting the Congolese, the world witnessed the slaughter of men, women and children. Dreaming of becoming the world's richest king and to supply the demand of rubber in Europe for the auto and bicycle industries, King Leopold set up a reign of terror in the heart of Congo.
To produce enough wild rubber, those who failed suffered the consequences. Leopold's men held the wives and children of the rubber tappers hostage, until they brought him exactly what he wanted. Those unable to supply his demand had their villages burned down, men were hanged, starved to death and others genital organs were tied.
Children's hands were chopped off as punishment for late deliveries. While many were calling Leopold a murderer and seeking justice to be hanged, the Belgians were covering up his crime. There is no doubt that King Leopold II is the moral forebear of Adolf Hitler, responsible for the death of over 10 million people, during his exploitation of the Congo, between 1870 and 1900.
The rebellious rubber tappers who tried to fight Leopold's men were quickly defeated and many fled to hide in the bush. Leopold told his men to go after them in the forest, giving them instructions to bring the right hand of every killed victim as a proof. Instead of King Leopold facing punishment for his crimes, he was hailed as a great humanitarian king with statutes, monuments and streets named after him throughout Belgium.
King Leopold II
It is very sad Belgium has such a history as a country built on exploitation, suffering and the flowing of the blood of massacred children. No matter how hard they try to cover up this heinous crime, this historical crime will remain indelible. What we are witnessing in Belgium today is unusual. Many are scared and are predicting the end of the world. While many are committing suicide, others are fighting for power, yet they don't know the hour.
Innocent blood can't be shed; therefore Belgium shouldn't pretend they have forgotten about this crime. No sacrificial lamb or compensation could heal the wounds and broken spirits of the victims or Congo as a country. King Leopold II of Belgium was nothing more than a criminal, murderer, rapist and a thief.
I think he was worse than Adolf Hitler. His statues should all be broken down and all streets named after him denounced. As an African writer, I feel very privileged and happy to write this article, because no Belgian journalist would have written it, since they don't appear to be interested in any sincere journalism in the country.
The truth must be spoken, because it's the only light which can conquer or overcome darkness.

Question To Donald Trump Why Aren't You Killed Like Jeff Bradstreet Or Other Opponents Of Vaccinations Which Not Only Causes Autism But Also Aids And Ebola? This article is dedicated to Jeff Bradstreet: By Johan van Dongen The above question is raised by me and many others, because recently in the United States of America, over seven doctors have been murdered or found dead in dubious circumstances. I find it very necessary to ask Donald Trump this question, because of the statement he made that: "Vaccines Do Cause Autism", and also find an answer to why the disappearance from medical scene or mysterious deaths of alternative health doctors who have real cures, but opposed and not approved by the FDA. When I saw the interviews that Dr. Jeff Bradstreet, nothing shows a possible suicide as mentioned by US governmental institutions. During this interview, Bradstreet showed his engagement, for he was not a person who give up easily. It was a very optimistic person with a normal attitude. He was laughing, joking and celebrating, because his autistic son just graduated high-school. The supposed reason for his "suicide" – an FDA raid on his clinic – is nothing new for him. There was nothing new in his life that would have been a reason for him to want to end his own life, only new things that would encourage him to live his life and perhaps encourage others to want to take their lives. Now we have to wait and see what happens with Donald Trump. The overall conclusion "Dr. Jeffrey Bradstreet has been under attack by big pharma for his success during all his professional life so there is no way he would have committed a suicide for just another attack. He was murdered; the FDA were clearly involved, and the other suspect is the MMR vaccine co-orporations, who work with the FDA. Dr Bradstreet loudly published the fact we all know: The MMR jab, which makes $ billions, causes autism." It is'nt only autism which is caused by vaccines but also Aids and Ebola. For decades Africa is used as a bio-warfare laboratory of German and Japanese war criminals under guidance of the USA, because they hide this Nazi basterds. This makes the USA the land of evil so once Donald Trump becomes president of the United States there is a lot work to do by replacing black prisoners by white pharmaceutical criminals in black three piece suits. The horrific Aids pandemic tremendously has generated scientific controversies within and outside the scientific establishment. Only a minority of scientists and other engaged people have access to inside information concerning (bio-warfare) Aids and Ebola research. As an experimental microsurgeon in the early seventies, almost at the beginning of the multiple organ transplantation era, I have carried out thousands of experimental organ transplantations. In order to deal with organ rejection he administered, radiation and sera for diminishing the immunity of the organ receiver. Besides that I also administered uncountable agents to recipients of organs in order to trigger, diminish or completely whipe out the immune capacity which can be compared with Aids. During my university and hospital appointments in the early seventies, and later undercover in the pharmaceutical industry, I discovered at that time that animals did'nt die because of rejection of the transplanted organ but because of multiple infections which can be compared with human Aids victims. So, Inoticed that Aids can be induced by radiation, aflatoxins, Immuran/prednisolone combination, anti lymfocyte sera and many other bio-warfare agents. Dormant HIV virus As head of the the Department of Experimental Microsurgery, and involved in all transplantation and immunological experiments, I also have been involved in many controversies. Especially the connection of my work and the polemic concerning the transmission of HIV in many ways I discovered not only in experiments but also in the extensive scientific literature the role of an obligatory cofactor that transactivates the "Dormant" virus HIV in specific human cells. And this obligatory cofactor which transactivates the "Dormant" virus in specific human cells are deliberately introduced into mostly black-skinned African people, governed by massive environmental factors as you can read in our book: "Aids and Ebola the greatest crime in medical history against mankind," in order to depopulate Africa and other parts of the world. Aids and Ebola the greatest Crime in Medical History Aginst mankind: Book published on: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Greatest-Medical-History-Against-Mankind-ebook/dp/B016W89W1G Therefore I will always like to enlighten readers about the real origin of Aids and the true nature of famous international researchers as Robert Gallo. And as far as Gallo is concerned, Ricardo Veronesi, professor of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Sao Paulo, was personally informed about the true nature of Gallo's research long before this controversy turned into a public scandal and as a consequence thousands of scientific Aids dissidents. It was no less then Francoise Barré-Sinoussi of the French Pasteur Institute who revealed the criminal intention of Gallo. And not only she became an Aids dissident but also the discover of the HIV virus Luc Montagnier disputed Gallo, the fake discoverer of the HIV virus. In their opinion the major bursts in the common scientific approach lies in its ignoring that the pathogenicity of the HIV indeed is governed by multiple deliberate environmental factors. And one of these determinant factors is the PCR test (Polymerase Chain Reaction Test). Using and extrapolation of these kind of techniques we can conclude that almost all persons who have HIV in their bodies, were purposely infected with this virus which can lead to Aids. Biowarfare scientists are able to made black-skinned people artificially susceptible for HIV or Ebola by using controlable diseases as a cover-up. Most of the biowarfare research using viruses which causes Aids and Ebola was predominantly carried out in Germany and Japan until 1945 and since then mainly in the USA and France, using Nazi and Japanese (military) scientific war criminals. Autism/Aids/HIV Theory Dissidents Like Jeff Bradstreet The official scientific origin of the diverse HIV-strains has been placed somewhere between 1938 and 1948 when scientist T.F. Smith et al published an article in the authoritative medical journal Nature about this period in 1988 named: "The phylogenetic history of immunodeficiency virus". And he was'nt the only scientists who revealed the true nature of the HIV virus. Smith's efforts to reveal the real origin of HIV was followed, to name a few, by Sharp et al with his article: "Understanding the origins of Aids viruses", also in Nature, followed by Meyers et all with: "The phylogenetic analysis of the HIVs". But the most important article is described in the top of the bill of medical journals the Lancet by scientist L.A. Evans et al who discovered the; "Simultaneous isolation of HIV-1 and HIV-2 from an Aids patient". And all these mentioned scientist agreed that the distribution of the HIV virus was an intentional action. Their findings makes it very conceivable that this distribution was intentional because sometimes both the new viruses HIV-1 and HIV-2, respectively HTLV-IV, are existing in one and the same person according to Evans. And because his publication is checked by the editing and scientific boards of the Lancet the outcome of his investigation is true. And this counts also for thousands of publications in other medical journals as described in our book "Aids and Ebola the greatest crime in medical history against mankind". According to the famous Aids/HIV theory dissident Wolff Geisler further evidents of the intentional distribution, out of the mentioned simultaneous infection of the same persons, it was described as a second Aids epidemic in the same black-skinned population by an inefficient transmission of the HIV virus. The appearance of this extreme rare retrovirus among the African Aids patients is so conspicious that some world famous scientists uttered a sentence about it. They alleged this to be; "Only another acquired opportunistic infection but rather an additional death sentence". But? Is it? In Africa the probability of an early death of HIV patients is three times bigger then eslwere when HIV patients are simultaneously infected with HTLV-1 as described in the Lancet by Page et al in his scientific publication: HTLV-I/II seropositivity and death from Aids among HIV-I seropositive intravenous drug users (Lancet, 1990; 335: 1439-41), an even more extremely important publication for the Aids/HIV theory dissidents. Because especially HTLV-I, amongst many other HIV viruses, was only demonstrated in Uganda, Ghana, South Africa and Namibia. In HIV patients only in these countries appear simultaneously up till now. According to Wolff Geisler the concommitant existance of HTLV-I and HIV produces the observed rate of Aids patients in Uganda, Kenya and black-skinned people in Florida, USA and some Caibbean Islands, even though in general black-skinned persons are by nature more resistant against HIV-infection than pale-skinned persons (see below). This means the HIV viruses are geneticly engeneered as describe in our book. No less than Luc Montagnier et al, the discoverer of the HIV virus stated that this virus is made out of the Nazi eugenics and genetic engeneered experiments as well as the development of Aids causing viruses in horses. In a very talked about article he described in the authoritative Annals of Virology: "A new type of retrovirus from patients presenting with lymphadenopathy and acquired immune deficiency syndrome": Structural and antigenetic relatedness with Equine Infecious Aenemia Virus EIAV (horse Aids), 1984; 135E: 119-31. Equine Infecious Aenemia Virus EIAV (HIV/Horse-Aids) made by Nazi Germany If we compare these findings to our references in:"Aids the greatest crime in medical history against mankind" the book now available at Amazon, the HLA-A, B, C, DR3 and DR5 loci, is examined by the Nazi's led by Otmar Verschuer. In 1956 he joined the American Eugenics Society and worked under auspices tiis of the Rockefeller-fund. He was also head of the Department of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in Germany. Furthermore we have to take into account that within people who have blood type HLA-DR3 Aids, it is much less common than in people who have the HLA-DR5 type. Under the Nazi's research, it is important to note that precisely the HLA-DR5 type occurs mainly in Jews. The HLA-DR3 type contrast is most common in dark-colored Africans. These two evidences or references are enough to let you know vividly what took place. In general you can say that it is harder for blacks to get Aids than as it is for whites, but blacks have been made susceptible for a broad spectrum of brand new diseases caused by Germans, partly under the auspices of the South African Apartheid regime, and after the war under guidance of the U.S.A. Nowadays we now know that monkeys do not get Aids when infected with the human Aids virus. The same goes for tuberculosis until the moment that monkeys in a laboratory made receptive. Therefore black-skinned people are under no circumstances contaminated with Aids by monkeys with or without eating them. That is so to speak a criminal WHO/ CDC / FDA scientific ferrytale.

Hopefully it won't be much longer until you will see no snow in my photos! This winter sure has been a long one! The snow did begin to melt then we had a little storm again. When will it end!
Wearing pastels is the perfect way to get me ready for spring. The soft colors really compliment each other especially topped off with this adorable faux fur coat! (click here to see it). This coat really is the cutest piece that I can wear most seasons of the year just to take the chill away.
You have seen me wear this carriage bag (click here to see it) before in my posts but it truly goes with any outfit and really makes me feel like a princess. When I went to see a Broadway Show of Cinderella a few months back of course this bag came along with me and was the star of the night! Trust me every princess needs this bag!
I think we are all beginning to think about spring now that March is here tomorrow! It can be hard to even imagine spring at this point with the cold weather and all the snow, but spring is coming! This is the time of year when I think about transitioning my wardrobe slowly into spring. Wearing layers is my favorite way to begin this and this cozy heart patterned cardigan (click here to see it) is the cutest piece to layer with! I love the chunky knit and the way this cardigan looks like a simple piece from the front but then you see the bold back and it makes a statement!
I think you might notice in my photos my adorable heart shaped box of chocolate bag from Mary Frances! (click here to see it) Isn't it the sweetest (Literally!!) bag you have ever seen?! The detailing as always on a Mary Frances bag is outstanding! Each piece of chocolate is 3D and is made from hundreds of hand placed beads to create unique realistic chocolate designs. This bag is the perfect bag for any person with a sweet tooth for sure!! If you are wondering how much does this bag hold, I had my phone, small wallet, keys and lipstick inside. So enough room for you to carry all of your essentials with you! I am not sure how Mary Frances keeps coming up with all these amazing bag designs but they seem to keep getting better!
Finally I am able to be outside and take a few photos! It sure has been an incredible few weeks of very cold and very snowy weather! I know it has been the same for most places, so stay strong! I know it's only the beginning of February so I am sure there will be a few more surprises that Mother Nature will throw our way. I am hoping for an early spring as the ground hog here has predicted that but I doubt it! I think he is just fooling with us and getting our hopes up! LOL!
On a happier note I have been able to wear all my adorable sweaters this winter! It is the best way to stay warm and stylish for sure! This sweater I am wearing (click here to see it) is so sweet! It has the cutest heart pattern on it and is incredibly warm and cozy being a little bit oversized. It is a nice cropped length so it makes it perfect to wear with skirts and of course pants and jeans. I do love a long sweater but it's nice to have one in a shorter length like this one.
Now every outfit I wear has to have the perfect accessories and I am seriously in love with this beaded book bag from Mary Frances (click here to see it). It is so great to wear over the shoulder or crossbody and if you want to use it as a clutch you can do that too by unclasping the chain. The bag is incredibly detailed as are all Mary Frances bags. This one is completely covered in beads front and back to create this lovely book pattern. This is the best bag for any book worm or anyone that loves fun and unique bags!
You can never go wrong with a classic black and white outfit and by adding a bright pop of color sure makes the whole outfit stand out! I think my favorite color to add is bright red as the contrast is so fantastic!
The black and white pieces I am wearing sure are unique all on their own and don't need any help with standing out but they still look gorgeous with the red color! This paper crane printed midi skirt is so neat (click here to see it). I have always been fascinated with origami and loved to try to make different things with the paper, but the classic crane or swan is still my favorite. Have you ever tired to make any kind of origami?
Now I have to talk about this stunning sweater I am wearing! (click here to see it) The body is made from the most comfortable soft knit with a little cut out piece at the chest and the sleeves are a very soft mesh with pearl embellishments. Very unique and perfect to dress up or even wear more casually. The options are endless!
What is you favorite color to wear with black and white?

Q: Fetch content in AWS S3 public bucket from GCP Data Storage I am trying to fetch the content of the bucket s3://open-images-dataset from GCP data storage through the gsutil or the transfer service. I am using the following command in the case of the command line alternative:
gsutil -m -o GSUtil:parallel_composite_upload_threshold=150M cp -r --no-sign-request s3://open-images-dataset gs://<bucket-name>
The problem here is that the s3://open-images-dataset is public and one would usually do --no-sign-request when downloading it to a local directory. However as far as I have been able to see GCP don't allow any option to go over this issue. Any idea about that problem?
I can not download it first to my local machine because the content of the bucket is too big.

A: gsutil uses the Boto library to handle communicating with S3. After a bit of digging through the code, it seems Boto allows specifying that an individual connection should be anonymous... but it looks it would require patching the Boto library to make all S3 connections for a given session be anonymous (i.e. setting a Boto config option like "no_sign_request = True" under the [s3] section).
When I try to list that bucket with AWS credentials set, via gsutil ls s3://open-images-dataset, the signed request succeeds.  Given that it works, is there any particular reason you don't want the request to be signed?
Edit
I submitted this pull request to add support for no_sign_request in Boto:
https://github.com/boto/boto/pull/3833
It will be in the next version of Boto, whenever they decide to release it. At that point, gsutil can grab the new version and include it in a subsequent release.

A: It is not possible at the moment but a PR has been issued to the boto library.
