On a night lay Messire Thibault in his bed and pondered sore, and said: "God! of whom it cometh that I love so much this dame, and she me, and forsooth no heir of our flesh may we have, whereby God might be served, and good be done to the world." Therewith he thought on my lord St. Jakeme, the apostle of Galicia, who would give to such as crave aright that which by right they crave, and he behight him the road thither in his heart.
On a night they came to a good town, and in the evening Messire Thibault called his host, and asked him concerning the road for the morrow, what road they should find, and what like it might be; and he said to him: "Fair sir, at the going forth from this town ye shall find somewhat of a forest to pass through, and all the day after a good road." Therewith they held their peace, and the bed was apparelled, and they went to rest.
The morrow was much fair, and the pilgrims rose up at daybreak and made noise. Messire Thibault arose, and found him somewhat heavy, wherefore he called his chamberlain, and said: "Arise now, and do our meyney to truss and go their ways, and thou shalt abide with me and truss our harness: for I am somewhat heavy and ill at ease." So that one commanded the sergeants the pleasure of their lord, and they went their ways.
Then one of the strong-thieves beheld her, and said thus to his fellows: "Masters, I have lost my brother in this stour, therefore will I have this Lady in atonement thereof." Another said: "But I also, I have lost my cousin-german; therefore I claim as much as thou herein: yea, and another such right have I." And even in such wise said the third and the fourth and the fifth; but at last said one: "In the holding of this Lady ye have no great getting nor gain; so let us lead her into the forest here, and do our will on her, and then set her on the road again and let her go." So did they even as they had devised, and set her on the road again.
He took the sword of her, and put it back into the scabbard, and thereafter laid his hand on her shoulder, and brought her back on the road whereby they had come. And when he came to the entry of the wood, there found he a great part of his company, which was come to meet him and when they saw them thus naked, they asked of him: "Sir, who hath thus arrayed you?" But he told them that they had fallen in with strong-thieves, who had thus ensnared them. Much great dole they made thereof; but speedily were they clad and arrayed, for they had well enough thereto so they gat to horse and went their ways.
The merchants asked her of whence she was, and she hid the matter from them, and said that a wretched thing she was, and a poor sinner, even as they might behold; and that by much cruel adventure was she thither come; and for God's sake let them have mercy upon her: and they answered that even so would they. And she ate and drank, and became much fair.
The Lady knew well her lord, so she went back unto the Soudan, and said to him: "Sir, great goodness wilt thou do unto me if thou wilt give me this one also." "Dame," said he, "with a good will I will give him to thee." So she thanked him, and sent him into her chamber with the other.
But the archers hastened and came to the Soudan, and said: "Sir, thou doest us wrong, and the day is a-waning." And therewith they went to the gaol and brought out the son of the Count, who was all covered with his hair and dishevelled, as one who had not been washen a while. Young man he was, so that he had not yet a beard; but so lean he was, and so sick and feeble, that scarce might he hold him up. And when the Lady saw him, she had of him much great pity. She came to him and asked of him whose son, and whence he was, and he said he was the son of the first worthy. Then she wotted well that he was her brother, but no semblance she made thereof.
"Lady," said the Count, "I trow that she be dead." "What wise died she?" quoth she. "Certes, Lady," said the Count, "by an occasion which she had deserved." "And what was the occasion?" said the Lady.
Then she went back to the mariners, and called and said to them: "Masters, get ye back and tell to the Soudan that I have taken from him my body, and his son whom he loved much, and that I have cast forth from prison my father, my husband, and my brother." And when the mariners heard that, they were much grieving; but more they might not do; and they returned, sad and sorrowful for the Lady, and for the youngling, whom they loved much, and for the prisoners, who were thus lost without recoverance.
Then the Soudan let call the damsel, and she came, and he said to her: "My fair daughter, I have married thee, if so it please thee." "Sir," she said, "well is my pleasure therein, if thou will it." Then the Soudan took her by the hand, and said: "Hold, Malakin! I give her to thee." He received her gladly, and in great joy and in great honour of all his friends; and he wedded her according to the Saracen law; and he led her into his land in great joy and in great honour. The Soudan brought him on his road a great way, with much company of folk, so far as him pleased; then returned, and took leave of his daughter and her lord. But a great part of his folk he sent with her to serve them.

Attacks Are On The Rise Between U.S. Troops And Iranian-Backed Militias
By Rachel Martin,
Ruth Sherlock
Early Monday, the U.S. launched limited airstrikes against three militia posts along the Syria-Iraq border. Those came after occasional drone and rocket attacks on U.S. troops. NPR's Ruth Sherlock joins us from Beirut to explain what's going on. Hi, Ruth.
RUTH SHERLOCK, BYLINE: Hi. Good morning.
MARTIN: What more do we know about the targets of these U.S. strikes?
SHERLOCK: Well, we know the U.S. hit three locations - two places in Syria and one in Iraq. They said they targeted weapons stores and buildings that had been used by Iranian-backed militia groups. The U.S. accuses them of attacking its bases in Iraq. Those groups say the strikes killed four of their members. This is the second time the Biden administration has attacked them like this. In February, the U.S. struck one of these militias' bases in Syria. And, you know, that was after a rocket attack in Iraq that killed a civilian contractor and wounded an American service member.
MARTIN: What's been the reaction to these U.S. strikes?
SHERLOCK: So these militias that operate in Iraq with the support of Iran said that they will, quote, "make the enemy taste the bitterness of revenge after the airstrikes." The popular mobilization units - that's an umbrella of these mostly Shia factions in Iraq - claim that the U.S. got the targets wrong. They said that the men that were killed in the U.S. airstrikes were on official duty to secure Iraq's borders and that they had nothing to do with attacks on American troops in Iraq, as the U.S. military claims.
But, you know, it's worth explaining here that this umbrella of militias has brought - was brought into the Iraqi government to fight ISIS a few years ago. But some of these groups have a lot of Iranian backing. And the U.S. says that Iran uses them to keep U.S. troops under threat.
So Iran has also commented on the U.S. strikes, accusing the U.S. of, quote, "disrupting the security of the region." But, you know, Rachel, perhaps the most interesting thing here is that the Iraqi government has made a rare condemnation of their U.S. ally. The Iraqi military says that the strikes are a blatant and unacceptable violation of Iraqi sovereignty. This is because Iraq fears getting dragged into a conflict between the U.S. and Iran.
MARTIN: How is the Biden administration framing all this?
SHERLOCK: So yesterday, the White House press secretary reiterated the message that the strikes were designed as a sort of warning. The U.S. is casting these as defensive strikes that come in response to an increase in drone attacks and harassment of U.S. troops in Iraq and Syria. And the backdrop to all of this is that there are talks ongoing to try to revive the Iran nuclear deal. Both Biden and Iran seem to want to keep those on track. So, you know, this might motivate both sides to try to avoid a kind of violent spiral.
MARTIN: A violent spiral both sides want to avoid, but there was another incident yesterday, wasn't there?
SHERLOCK: Yes, there was. So the U.S. military says that its troops in eastern Syria came under rocket attacks. But they say that there are no injuries, and they're still assessing the damage. And whilst these were rockets, the thing that particularly concerns the U.S. at the moment are attacks from drones. These things are easy to manufacture, but they can be deadly. They fly so low that they can be hard to detect and destroy. And Iranian-backed militias have used these drones that are laden with bombs in recent months. The U.S. says Iraqi bases where they have foreign troops have been attacked up to five times since April. So so far, no one has been killed by these attacks. But they're definitely proving a cause for concern.
MARTIN: NPR's Ruth Sherlock reporting on all this from Beirut. Thank you, Ruth.
SHERLOCK: Thank you very much. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Jerusalem Post Opinion Letters
February 27: Your cue
The Gazans' plight might get more sympathy here in Israel if they showed they were against the continual rocket attacks into Israel.
(photo credit: )
Your cue Sir, - The Gazans' plight might get more sympathy here in Israel if they showed they were against the continual rocket attacks into Israel. A mass street demonstration in Gaza of, say, 20,0000 Palestinians protesting the attacks would be nice. But let's be realistic: How about 10,000 marching in favor of a cessation of rocket attacks? ("Gov't approves fortification of Sderot and Gaza area," February 25.) DAVID AMINOFF Jerusalem Sir, - I would like to suggest that all residents of Sderot and other communities targeted by Hamas's rockets attempt to walk en masse into the Gaza Strip and request, with signs and leaflets in English and Arabic, that the residents of Gaza prevail upon their leaders to halt the attacks. I think they could confidently predict that the borders would be opened once the rocket attacks and other terrorist actions aimed at civilians stopped. ALAN EDELSTEIN Sacramento/Jerusalem Sir, - It's about time Gaza was put under real pressure to release Gilad Schalit unconditionally and stop the Kassams coming. First, remove all privileges from the Arab prisoners we have - no family visits, no telephone calls, no radio, no TV, no reading material of any kind. I'm sure the IDF has missiles the size of the Kassams. It needs to start peppering the Gaza Strip with these missiles, as they have done to us. At some stage, hopefully, the prisoners completely cut off from the outside world will crack and the casualties in Gaza will cause a rebellion against Hamas. If not, we have stronger means, and should use them. IVAN MYERS Petah Tikva Doing the crawl Sir, - "Jerusalem missing from the agenda as Olmert and Abbas meet" (February 20) reported that at last week's Jerusalem Conference, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni stated: "Whoever thinks stopping negotiations will stop terror is not in touch with reality." Ending negotiations alone won't stop the terror, but it is the first and necessary step in the process to end the terror. Up till now our government has shown our enemies that terrorist attacks work in forcing Israel to the negotiating table. Instead of sending a painful message to Fatah and others that terror doesn't pay, our policy, dating back to the Rabin government, has been to negotiate as if terror didn't exist. This empowers and inspires our enemies to continue with their murderous ways, knowing full well that they can not only get away with them scot-free, but that Israel will still come crawling back to the table. JOSH HASTEN Jerusalem Sir, - Please, will some Israeli explain to me what actual thing the Palestinians have done to show they are interested in peace? Since 1948 these nomadic Arabs have committed continual acts of terror and murder. Don't you folks get it by now, that they are incapable of living peacefully? IKE SHAPIRO New York The End Sir, - Gershon Baskin wrote: "A military attack against Gaza will not achieve the strategic objective of ending the attacks from there against Israel. Only an agreed-on cease-fire with the Hamas will stop the Kassams" ("To save lives - negotiate with the devil," February 26). Mr. Baskin believes that Hamas terror cannot be defeated using military force. This puts Hamas in a very strong bargaining position, and suggests that we should capitulate to their demands - our destruction. BARRY LYNN Efrat Payment in kind Sir, - I recommend that batteries of rocket launchers be set up along our border with Gaza with automated sensors that will trigger a barrage of rockets to be fired back only when a rocket is fired in our direction. These launchings should be totally automated and the distances of reach random. How many to fire back for each launching that comes our way? A ratio of 10 to one comes to mind. The batteries should be mobile and well protected. It should be emphasized that not one rocket is fired if there is no fire from the other side. This approach should be well publicized to Hamas and to the world, with no apologies for any casualties or damages that may occur on the other side ("Ten-year-old Sderot boy wounded by Kassam," February 25). NATAN BARUCH BEN YEHUDA Ra'anana 'Twiterati' Sir, - "Hamas's illegitimacy" (Editorial, February 25) referred to a number of "Israel's leading literati" who signed an open letter calling for "give and take" with Hamas. If these unhinged leftists, whose influence is far less than their pretensions, still haven't learned that give and take with people like Hamas means "we give and they take," they simply underline George Orwell's quip that only intellectuals could be so stupid. ELAINE ABELSON Beit Shemesh Unfair play Sir, - Stewart Weiss wrote a damning article about hypocrisy in the Jewish world ("A twist on the 'Who is a Jew' question," February 25). To me it would seem more appropriate for the good rabbi to be venting his indignation against an insane system of (US) justice that would incarcerate a fellow human being for 27 years for "financial fraud." Hitting a man when he is down is not fair play, is it? Instead he could be advocating some measure of balance in accordance with the Jewish legal system, which aims to rehabilitate and not destroy a criminal. SHIRLEY DOMB Jerusalem Real, strong unity Sir, - I appreciated "Building a shared Jewish culture" (i.e., between Israeli and US Jews, Editorial, February 22), but was disturbed by your glaring lack of any reference to the Torah, the sole source of cultural unity between Jews of widely differing secular cultures, from yekke to Yemenite. Judaism is far more than just culture and civilization, it is a covenant between God and the Jewish people that the Jews study and observe His Divine Torah. Our common effort to build a State of Israel that will be a Divine model for all of mankind is the only way to strongly unite Jews. Those Israelis most committed to the authentic Jewish hope and dream of being a holy - not just a free - people in our land, will have problems in any exchange program with US Jews that does not allow them to observe Shabbat and kashrut. YAAKOV FOGELMAN Jerusalem Recollections, please Sir, - I am writing a book on the people who took part in the War of Independence, working title: Purpose. It is not a study of the war itself - that has been done, and rather well - but of the people who played a role, the how and the why, with their recollections. I would appreciate any contributions from Post readers, no matter how small or seemingly unimportant. I hope a book like this might help non-Israelis and non-Jews understand Israel better. Contributions used will be acknowledged and, as with all my work, charities supported - in this case, a special-needs school in northern Israel.

Is it Love, or Indulgence?
The impulse to minister to the poor, the sick, and the oppressed is an inalienable part of the Canadian soul. Even such apparently contradictory decisions to apologize to the First Nations for cultural genocide while honouring Henry Morgentaler with the Order of Canada, in fact represent two sides of the same motivation: to avoid causing grief or harm to people we perceive as marginalized in some way.
Frankly, this is not love in the scriptural and Christian sense of that word. Let's take a basic verse: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16) You've probably heard it before, but read it again carefully. Love is primarily God's impulse to give life to the world.
And what is "life" in the scriptural sense? For the people of the ancient Near East, the answer was very concrete. Life was an oasis of drinkable water in the desert. It was food in times of drought and famine. Life was about survival, not good feelings. And love was about seeking to preserve someone's life at all costs, no matter how bad it made them feel in the short run. So John 3:16 is really saying simply that God is quite happy to hurt both His and our feelings in the short run so that we can survive in the "long run," which is to say, forever.
If we call ourselves Christians and choose to live a faith rooted in the Scriptures, our most important imperative is to love one another. But what does love really mean? I cannot speak for Canadian society, but if we call ourselves disciples of Jesus Christ, we need to draw a clear distinction between love and indulgence. And then we need to make a courageous decision to seek life for ourselves and those within our sphere of influence, whatever may come of it. Be sensitive, wise and discreet, by all means, but in the end, don't pull punches. After all, when it comes to matters of survival, what's a few hurt feelings and bruised egos?

My main sport was rugby, playing for clubs in Leicester, Manchester and London. When not involved with rugby I played football, representing Carmarthenshire District and Leicester University. My competitive sporting career was ended by a badly fractured clavicle in September 2001. Throughout my playing career I have had personal experience of the pain and frustration that comes with injury and the associated rehab and time away from your chosen sport.

Donald Trump: a president you literally can't believe
Donald Trump: Liar in Chief - Rolling Stone / Photo by rollingstone.com via Blasting News library.
He's been called the liar-in-chief for intentionally lying about everything to improve his image and it's become the world's problem.

When comedian, filmmaker, and writer Louis C.K. was last on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, he talked about how much of a liar President Trump was, on a level that was hilariously absurd but also exhibited the extreme level of his ability to lie. Over the past week, Blasting News reported on the claim that the "armada" President Trump said was heading toward's North Korea was in fact not true. What's shocking about this is that three others within the military ranks also said with authority that it was true, which shows that there is an acceptable form of lying aside from what we're already accustomed to seeing coming from the Trump White House, which already has the power to confuse anyone who believes them.
Leaving the world in the 'dark'
For a president who as a candidate, a businessman and really a person who has been lying repeatedly in order to get his way; this is hardly psychological warfare against the enemy as it also raises the kind of alarm in society and among the U.S.'s allies that only means to intentionally leave them in the dark. Dan Balz of the Washington Post spoke about this on Washington Week last Friday saying: "I think that when those kinds of things happen on top of everything else about what President Trump has said about foreign policy, it adds to confusion. And, while he prides himself on unpredictability as he has said as a candidate, um, unpredictability is not necessarily great in foreign policy.
There are a lot of allies and adversaries who are trying to figure him out. "

Trump dumps the press
He has already said many times that he will not tell the press what he's going to do next with adversaries such as North Korea with his foreign policy approach.
From the first day of the White House press briefings, the Press Secretary shows that he was determined to making sure that what they said was true and not what was reported on them. Some Trump aides who were once more traditional and careful in the past with what they've said to the press such as the White House Chief of Staff who was once the chair of the Republican National Committee, Reince Priebus, have changed their attitudes to match the level of Trump's lies and even aggression against the press, in order for them to send the message that they will not be questioned.
.@PressSec Sean Spicer says the default narrative about Trump is "always negative," calling it "demoralizing" https://t.co/7H9gvjEYWU pic.twitter.com/Lsew5giLMS
— CBS News (@CBSNews) January 23, 2017
The State Department press briefings which usually provide some insight into the White House agenda have intentionally been kept minimal. So it should be no secret that President Trump's lies are out there and plain as day for all to see, as a kind of fortress he can hide in. But since he's hiding in plain site, it's even more revealing that he isn't protecting anything and really just showing the world that he doesn't know how to be president or even what to do next.

This must come as quite a surprise to you. I am Thomas George Broomfield and am 93 Years old and come down the direct line from Jame's sibling Thomas b.10-07-1720. I have been "dabbling" with the family tree of the Broomfields' for many many years now. To orient my position on the tree, David, factor of Thirlestane Castle is my 2nd great-grandfather. It was David who brought the Broomfield's' from Chirnside to Lauder, he was the eldest child of Thomas Broomfield (1720) and Helen Robertson(1744-1820). This Thomas was the 9th off-spring of James Broomfield (1695-1720) and Agnes White. He was the school teacher of Bedshiel school, Slap. Part of Greenlaw.
There was a farmer Thomas Broumfield, indellar of Greenlawdeine 1667.(now spelt Greenlawdean) He was Illegitimate but had been legitimised long before his death. Robert Broomfield of Slap resident 1668, multure or mouter.
No doubt you have seen the Full Text of "An old Berwickshire Town: History of the Town and Parish of Greenlaw". Parish requests and Benefactors para 127 This is all on the internet. Also Have you seen "Notes By Mr Broomfield on Lauder-Lauder Castle. Lauder, Nov 1886"
A bit of useless information. The descendants of Thomas 1822 and (1) Margaret Logan (2) Isabella Logan Mack, Through the Logans' of Restalrig could have a few genes from Fergus Lord of Galloway and further back- William the Conqueror.
I am so excited to have received your email. I guess we are truly cousins as David Broomfield is my 3rd great-grandfather. It is such a pleasure to meet you. I am 58 and have lived in Kansas all my life. I have had the opportunity twice to travel to Lauder, Scotland and even found one relative still living there. I have been interested in the Broomfield family tree all my life and it was my one passion in life to travel to Scotland.
I knew several of the Broomfield's had immigrated to New Zealand and have made contact with one in the past. I will have to look back in my papers. I have found some pictures and trying to add to my tree in Ancestry.com. It is so easy to make one mistake in the tree and then come to a dead end or miss one brother or sister which could mean a hundred off-spring. It is so fascinating and I spend hours looking, reading and hunting for the next clue.
David Broomfield b 1780 is my 3 great-grandfather, then Thomas Broomfield b 1822 my 2 great and Thomas Logan Broomfield b 1861 my great-grandfather who is the one who immigrated to Kansas. His sister Susan Broomfield also moved to Kansas and married H.W. Chittenden. Thomas Logan Broomfield, my great-grandfather, did not want to go into the family business as a solicitor so he faked his drowning, changed his name to Thomas Moss and enlisted in the military where he fought in the Borr War in Africa. I have his military handbook in fact. He later immigrated arriving in Canada then traveled south to Kansas to farm.
I have read the :Notes by Mr. Broomfield on Lauder Castle". I received this from Lord Maitland who lives at the castle. I met him on my first trip to Lauder while touring the castle. He invited me back the next day for a visit. He then gave me a copy of the writing. Lord Maitland said 4 generations of Broomfield's were born in the castle. I had the pleasure of visiting him again on my second trip to Lauder and the castle.
I am aware of the Logan line but have done little research so far but I do understand it is a line of nobility. The Logan tartan is still on registry in Scotland. So much information and it is hard to keep track of it all. Do you use Ancestry.com? If so, you can find my Broomfield tree and look at it. I spend lots of time trying to verify what I have.
I so look forward to talking with you and sharing information if you would like. New Zealand is another place I hope to visit one day as I know there are many Broomfield's there. By the way, Thomas is still the family name and continues to be carried on. My brother is Thomas Logan Broomfield and his son is Thomas Logan Broomfield. What joy to meet another fine Thomas Broomfield.
Just to eliminate confusion, Slap is not a place but the nickname given to Robert Broomfield, miller in Greenlaw, by Sir Patrick Hume, who asked Broomfield for money when he was fleeing for his life at the end of 1684. Broomfield was mending a slap at the mill cauld.
I am late to the discussion on this forum, so may not get a reply. But several posts mention Robert Broomfield (or Brounfield) of Slap in Greenlaw, who was a miller in the later C17th. Does anyone know of his parentage? (I am descended from Grace, daughter of James Broomfield of Slap, born in 1720). The Broomfields of Greenlaw and surrounding villages are well documented as farmers and 'lesser lairds' in the sixteenth and early seventeenth century. Establishing Robert's father would help to work out a pedigree. 'Robert Brounfield in Greenlaw, also called of the Slap' appears as witness on a parish baptismal register at Gordon in 1668, so he was probably born no later than 1650.
Your Grace appears to have been named after her grandmother.
Many thanks -the antiquarian books seem confused as to whether it was a place or a nickname, but the evidence suggests it was probably the location of the mill. Having just been to the records office catalogue, I can see that Broomfield of Slape crops up quite a lot. The absence of Greenlaw birth records suggests it might not be possible to track down Robert's father, though.
Coach travel had replaced the horse for gentleman travellers in the late seventeenth century, but it had its disadvantages!


"Great looking gardens are not a series of unrelated features, everything ties in together and has been thought about." – I agree with this! I think everybody thought that just put anything in the garden then that's it. Not knowing that everything should be connecting or ties in together.
Totally! I think the problem is plants are so lovely and all the mainstream media focuses in on them so it gives the impression that is all there is to it!

The Scotty Boy is a yellow cocktail, and in this case the color doesn't really prepare you for the flavor. While the sour mix is the dominant flavor, the Absolut Kurant mellows it considerably.
The first thing to hit you with this cocktail is lemon, but it's quickly followed by a sweet-sour berry flavor (the currant). The overall effect is a mix of sweet and sour, but there's also tangy and something almost bitter happening in there. It's a deliciously complex drink.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, and add your ingredients. Shake until chilled. Fill a highball glass with ice and strain the mixture into it. Garnish with lime wheel and serve with straw.

Rond 1450 was er al een verdedigingswerk op de westelijke Maasoever, achter veerhuis De Staay, op de plek van de huidige kazerne. Dit was destijds nog een houten palissade. Rond Venlo werd een gordel van bolwerken en grachten aangelegd. De soldaten waren toen veelal bij de burgerij ingekwartierd.

Tachtigjarige Oorlog
Tijdens de Tachtigjarige Oorlog deed Willem van Oranje in 1572 als eerste een poging de stad Venlo te veroveren op Filips II van Spanje, maar deze poging mislukte. In 1579 deed diens zoon, Maurits, op 12-jarige leeftijd opnieuw een poging. Dit keer lukte het wel en werd Venlo ingenomen.

In 1585 werd op de westelijke Maasoever, in het dorp Blerick, een hoornwerk aangelegd. Dit hoornwerk, bestaande uit een schans met wachthuis, deed het jaar daarop dienst als uitvalsbasis bij de belegering door Alexander Farnese, hertog van Parma in dienst van de koning van Spanje. In juni 1586 was Venlo weer in Spaanse handen.

In 1632 veroverde prins Frederik Hendrik, de Stedendwinger, tijdens de Tachtigjarige Oorlog, Venlo op de Spanjaarden. De Spanjaarden sloten het fort geheel in en op 25 augustus 1637 verloor de prins de stad, na een lange en zware belegering, weer aan dezelfde Spanjaarden. Deze Spanjaarden wilden de stad beter kunnen verdedigen. Hoewel er sinds de 16e eeuw al een aardige verdedigingsstructuur aan de Maaszijde bestond, het Steenen Bolwerck, werd toch besloten om aan de overzijde van de Maas een fort te bouwen. Aangezien werd gestart op 29 september 1641, de devotiedag van Sint-Michaël, werd het fort naar de engel vernoemd.
In 1646 deed Frederik Hendrik een poging om het fort en de stad Venlo wederom in handen te krijgen. Doordat het fort intussen al gereed was (in 1644 werd het volledig functioneel in gebruik genomen) mislukte deze poging.

Vrede van Münster en Spaanse Successieoorlog
Bij de Vrede van Münster werd de vesting Venlo overgedragen aan de Republiek der Zeven Verenigde Nederlanden, maar Venlo bleef in Spaanse handen. In 1702 werd het fort een maand lang belegerd. De Staatsen losten in september van dat jaar, na een belangrijke overwinning elders, enkele vreugdeschoten. Deze schoten werden door de fortcommandant opgevat als een hernieuwde opvoering van de belegering. Omdat het garnizoen niet nog een aanval kon afslaan, besloot hij zich over te geven. Zo slaagt Menno van Coehoorn erin zowel vesting als fort in te nemen. Graaf Van Varo kreeg in dat jaar als gouverneur het bevel over het fort. Daarna werden er drie nieuwe forten rond de stad gebouwd: Fort Ginkel voor de Gelderse Poort, Fort Beerendonck bij de Martinuskerk en Fort Keulen voor de Keulse Poort. De 14e-eeuwse Tegelpoort, die aansloot op de Jodenstraat, werd vervangen door de Roermondsepoort bij de Vleesstraat. De staat bouwde nog belangrijke militaire gebouwen in de binnenstad: het Arsenaal, twee kruitmagazijnen naast de Martinuskerk en op het Helschriksel en twee grote kazerneringsgebouwen: het Grote Blok en Kleine Blok bij de Roermondsepoort. De bouw van beide kazernes verlichtte de druk die het garnizoen op de stad legde. Veel burgers werden verlost van de inkwartiering.

Franse en Belgische tijd
Op 12 februari 1793 werd het fort ingenomen door Franse troepen. Van daaruit werd tijdens het Franse offensief de vesting Venlo onder vuur genomen. Na de val van Napoleon Bonaparte moesten de Fransen zich terugtrekken en zowel fort als vesting kwamen weer in Nederlandse handen.

Uit de 18e eeuw dateren enkele rapporten die zich negatief uitlieten over de kwaliteit van Fort Sint-Michiel. Het fort lag te ver van de Maas, was daardoor relatief eenvoudig door de vijand in te nemen, waarna het juist als uitvalsbasis tegen de stad kon worden gebruikt. Daarom werd in 1831, tijdens de Belgische Revolutie, tussen Fort Sint-Michiel en de Maas het aarden Fort Leopold aangelegd.

Naar schatting een kwart van de stad werd in beslag genomen door de militairen, terwijl Venlo toch al overbevolkt was. De stadsmuren knelden, bouwen buiten de stad was om militair-strategische redenen verboden. Dit leidde tot onverantwoorde toestanden op het gebied van huisvesting en hygiëne. In vrijwel alle huizen woonden meerdere gezinnen. Verontreinigende bedrijfjes stonden gewoon naast woonhuizen. Riolering en waterleiding waren nog onbekend. Vooral rond de Jodenstraat en 't Hetje heersten ernstige wantoestanden.

Venlose enclave
Het fort en de directe omgeving was tot 1940 het enige stuk Venloos grondgebied aan de westzijde van de Maas, en werd Overmaas genoemd. Ook veerhuis/herberg/brouwerij/boerderij De Staay, Station Blerick en een aantal woonhuizen behoorden tot dit grondgebied.

Ontmanteling

In 1867 werden de vestingwerken ontmanteld. Alleen aan de Maas (De Luif) en in de kloostertuin Mariaweide bleven delen van de stadsmuur overeind. In opdracht van het Rijk ontwierp ir. Van Gendt een plan voor nieuwe straten rond de oude stad. Het Rijk eiste wel dat de Minderbroederskazerne in gebruik bleef, waarmee de binnenstad zelf voorlopig niet werd verlost van de militairen. Pas in 1909 bereikten gemeente en Rijk een akkoord over sluiting van de kazerne. De gemeente kreeg de kazerne en gaf het Rijk in ruil daarvoor de gronden van het vroegere Fort Sint-Michiel. Het oude klooster (behalve de kerk, de huidige Jongerenkerk) en de overige kazernegebouwen werden gesloopt.

Frederik Hendrikkazerne
Op de plek van Fort Sint-Michiel werd tussen 1910-1913 de Frederik Hendrikkazerne gebouwd: een omvangrijk complex met onder andere vier legeringsgebouwen, een wachtgebouw, exercitieloodsen, een scherm- en gymnastieklokaal, privaatgebouwen, wapenmagazijnen, stallen en een hospitaal. In november 1913 werd het complex geopend. Vanaf het begin was er een infanterie-eenheid in gehuisvest; vanaf 1947 ook het district Venlo van de marechaussee. Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd op de kazerne een militaire rijschool gevestigd. Nu ook die vertrokken is, komt er definitief een einde aan de eeuwenlange militaire aanwezigheid in de Maasstad.

Archeologische vondst
In 2010 zijn er delen van het oude Fort Sint-Michiel blootgelegd, welke in goede staat verkeerden. De restanten gelden als uniek voor Nederland, omdat dit een van de weinige door de Spanjaarden gebouwde forten betreft op Nederlandse bodem. Vooral de gaafheid speelt daarbij een grote rol. Het unieke ligt volgens een archeologisch rapport juist in de zo compleet bewaarde gaafheid. Opmerkelijk zijn bovendien de romeinse vondsten in hetzelfde Blerick, een dorpje met historische waarde.

Bogota crash caused by 'drunk' army sergeant
by Marguerite Cawley May 20, 2011
The Colombian army has opened preliminary investigations into an apparently drunk Colombian army sergeant and two soldiers who crashed an official vehicle into the base of a bridge in Bogota early Friday morning.
According to testimony from those present, the vehicle hit a concrete pillar of the bridge, located on a main avenue in the city's capital, at a speed high enough to destroy the army truck in which the uniformed men were riding.
The three soldiers from the Army's 13th Brigade are believed by officials to have been in a state of intoxication while on duty.
They were taken to the military hospital, and the army is investigating the actions of those involved.
The incident occurred just hours after Colonel Luz Eugenio Molta was suspended for nine months after a similar accident caused by driving while intoxicated.

Ten Years Ago
Waitsburg resident Jane Butler, age 90, has deep family roots in the Touchet Valley through her husband Bob. Butler has lived in town about 50 years, non-consecutively, and is being honored for her family history with the Pioneer of the Year award from the Waitsburg Historical Society. "I feel honored," Butler said of the award. She learned she was to be the honoree at the upcoming Pioneer Fall Festival on Sep. 18 through a letter from Bettie Chase, a member of the historical society. The Historical Society in 1986 began giving awards annually to locals whose ancestors helped the region grow, Chase said. In 2001, Chase herself was an award winner because her grandparents settled in the area in 1865.

An issue of great interest to local high school students was decided last Wednesday night when School Board 401-100 adopted a more liberal dress code. The new regulations state that "Pantsuits and pants may be worn as long as they are not grubby." Principals Dick Kinart and Glynn Davis, who will administer the code, defined "grubby" as dirty, unclean and sloppy. The ruling was changed to allow innovations in style to be followed without saying that any mode of dress is acceptable. Included in the stipulations passed Wednesday was the phrase "Hair should be of moderate length, neat, and conform to safety regulations in shop or lab."

Lacson Defends Self From 'Anti-Coal' Claims
by RPN June 28, 2019
by RPN June 28, 2019 0 comment
Outgoing Negros Occidental vice governor Eugenio Jose Lacson, who is set to take over as governor on June 30, has defended himself from various issues directed at him involving the proposed coal-fired power plant in his hometown of San Carlos City.
"Even before I take my oath and assume my office as governor, some sectors have already sowed hatred towards me," Lacson said in a press briefing with Capitol reporters.
He mentioned three supposed reasons for the criticisms — that he will repeal Executive Order 19-08 dated March 6, 2019, declaring Negros Occidental as a source of clean and renewable energy and a coal-free province, issued by outgoing governor Alfredo Marañon Jr.; not refile the request for an ordinance declaring the province coal-free; and that he approved the building of coal-fired power plant in the northern Negros city.
"These acts I have not done," he said.
On the first issue, Lacson noted that his lawyers have advised him there is no need to repeal EO 19-08 thus, it will remain enforced.
He added that there is also no need to refile Marañon's requested ordinance since "it is a subject matter which is still on the process with the Provincial Board".
"I'm sure the incoming members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan will continue (with it)," Lacson said.
Moreover, Lacson dismissed the claim that he supposedly approved the construction of the coal-fired power plant in San Carlos, where he once served as mayor.
"First of all, the vice governor's office has no authority to issue a building permit for such a plant in San Carlos City. We all know that it is the responsibility of the said local government unit and not (this office). Neither it is also the responsibility of the governor's office," he added.
Earlier, environment groups Climate Action for Sustainability Initiative (Kasali) and Living Laudato Si Philippines have thrown support to Negrenses leading the opposition to the reported plan of SMC Global Power to develop a 300-megawatt coal-fired power plant in San Carlos.* (Nanette Guadalquiver via NDB)

Red's Blues
Red's Blues - Beth Reid-Grigsby, Lead Vocals, RW Grigsby, bass and vocals, doug crumpacker, guitar and vocals, tim wilbur, drums and vocals
Broke Down In The Fast Lane
The title track of Red's Blues' third album could be a metaphor for America right now, and most likely that is how Beth Reid-Grigsby (aka Red) and Richard "RW" Grigsby, the talented married production team who lead this Sacramento, CA-based band, perceived it. They wrote or co-wrote eight of the eleven songs, and they have that long-running knack of making personal histories both poetic and cosmic.
So even if the opening shuffle "Broke Down in the Fast Lane" is their true tale of "driving down an LA freeway in a freak rainstorm when the unthinkable happens," it sets a tone for now -- when every little thing feels BIGGER.
Which brings us to Kid Andersen, the larger-than-life maestro of Greaseland Studios in San Jose, CA. The Grigsbys' choice of his award-winning, inventive touch in this recording pays off. "As far as mixing and mastering, there was never any other choice for us," says Beth. "Kid's electric Wurlitzer piano part on 'Flim Flam Man' added a whole new element to the song. When he discovered that the scratch vocal was also still on the song, Kid decided to use it with the final vocal, because he felt it added an "other-worldly" quality to the song, as the vocal tracks were so consistent. Every step of the way, he knew exactly what we were looking for." "Flim Flam Man" is a snaky surf-rhumba -- a scathing critique of what happens when a con man becomes president.
Bassist, singer and songwriter Richard "RW" Grigsby, has logged several lifetimes on the road, and his early rock and roll roots (Rome, GA near the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains) burst out like another famous Richard from Georgia on "Road Scholar," his story of a musician who has spent too much time on the road, working for too little pay. It's sung by Red's Blues drummer Tim Wilbur, a pro's pro (2017 Sacramento Music Awards and Sacramento Blues Society Hall of Fame member), who brought creative percussion ideas -- maracas AND the entire group thigh-slapping percussion. "We sat in chairs in a circle and slapped our thighs at certain points in the song to add accent," laughs Beth.
"Jackknifed" (co-authored with fellow road warrior Mark Hummel) continues the road theme with bio notes from their Golden State-Lone Star Blues Revue adventures.
Santa Barbara-born Beth Reid-Grigsby has the perfect voice for "Howlin' Winds" an obscure 1945 jazzy blues love song written by Kansas City natives, Big Joe Turner and Pete Johnson. Guest stars/friends Rick Estrin on harmonica and piano man Sid Morris (newly transplanted to Folsom, CA from the Bay Area) complement her.
Infernal nature takes a bow in "Sweet Karma," Beth's Dusty Springfield-esque ode to a "man" who sits on his ass while the world goes up in flames. She's impatient, "waiting for the rain to fall is like waiting for a lover to call --and we feel the world will never be the same, so don't try to play that same old hustler's game." The band wryly quotes the classic Glimmer Twins tagline about "no satisfaction."
Shades of Sam the Sham and Sir Doug! The Texas Farfisa organ rules in "Forty Years of Trouble"—"a touching tribute to a couple of old married folks" Beth winks as she sings "Forty years of trouble and he's rusty like a bucket of nails." This is a dance floor favorite for any age!
The third voice that Beth and RW create when they sing together is a genuine treat and it is all here in this loving tribute to their friend, the great Louisiana musician, Lazy Lester. "A Word About Gossip" is directly inspired by Lester's 1964 song, "A Word About Women." Their new lyrics point at us-- smack dab in stuck at home COVID Land, with a lesson about all the gossip on social media, as opposed to talking face to face. Young California harmonica star Kyle Rowland, who was mentored by Lester, is righteously featured on both harmonica and guitar.
There are two terrific guitarists featured on this record. Red's Blues guitarist Doug Crumpacker, a well-known name in Sacramento for nearly forty years, is one of a handful of musicians who truly taught the city about blues beginning in 1990 with his hugely popular band, The Hucklebucks (with RW on bass, Tim Wilbur on drums). A Sacramento 2016 Blues Society Hall of Fame inductee, he joined Red's Blues in 2018. "We included Doug Crumpacker's country-flavored original, 'G.O.N.E.,' because we feel he achieved the near impossible with this tune, saying a lot with just a handful of words" says Beth. "Tim has been with us for almost four years now, and Doug joining almost two years ago, was a natural fit for our band. We are all like family."
Special guest guitarist is a bona fide younger generation Chicago blues star, Johnny Burgin, renowned for his raw Gibson guitar, Westside sound on the legendary Delmark Records. "We've had Johnny as a special guest on a lot of gigs and love his style. He's often our houseguest when he's in the area, and we had been trying to put together a recording date to coincide with a visit for months. December 4th, 2019, it all came together. We spent the entire day at Grub Mitchell's Dog Yard Studio. We had our songs and we just started creating. We all brought our ideas to each original and we just clicked on some symbiotic wavelength. Got seven originals done that day," recalls Beth. "His fearless, on the edge of a cliff playing is exciting and fit perfectly with our vision for this new CD, which is kind of Chicago meets surf, meets country, meets the Gulf Coast!"
Red's Blues has always had a finger-poppin' attitude—straight outta the golden years when blues, R&B and swing all meshed together and dance floors every night were filled with snake hips and slow drags. Beth, with her sensual, southern voice and classy behind-the-beat phrasing is more a Peggy Lee or Bobbie Gentry-styled singer: smoky with languid, sexy sophistication. Her "Hands Off," accompanied by elegant swingman John Cocuzzi on piano, is pure, late nightclub vibe. Beth says "A fun tribute for folks who are married to or involved with musicians. Inspired by a lot of women over the many years, and it is in jest...sort of."
"Say What," the instrumental sunset closer written by Doug, has a slowed down Freddie King "Hideaway" feel. It's like we're there in the van, RW at the wheel, tooling down the road. Looking back at 2020 and forging ahead to 2021. We're all in this together.
A little more Beth & RW back story:
Beth, thanks to her older brother, grew up listening to Huddie Ledbetter, Muddy Waters and Mississippi John Hurt records and as a kid, learned from and sang songs at home with her Mom -- "Summertime," 'God Bless the Child,' and St. Louis Blues." Across the street in her hometown of south Santa Barbara though, the shy 7 year old redhead was bold enough to go perch on the neighbor's porch listening to a Cuban salsa band rehearse, and from that learned to love the rhythms, the bass and percussion in particular. She and RW met through the local Santa Barbara blues scene years later in 1977 and have lived in his home state of Georgia and then Texas before heading back to sunny Sacramento, California in 2006.
2014 Grammy-nominated and Blues Music Award (BMA) winner bassist RW Grigsby has been playing since he was 14 years old and began his professional career when still a teenager. He's toured the U.S., Canada and Europe since the '80s, and currently juggles playing with Red's Blues, Mark Hummel & the Blues Survivors and The Golden State/Lone Star Blues Revue. He played and recorded with Texas blues stars Gary Primich and Black Top Records' Mike Morgan and the Crawl in the 1990s. RW is the bassist on the 2014 Grammy-nominated and BMA-winning CD, Remembering Little Walter. He was nominated for a BMA "Best Bassist" Award in 2017 and was inducted into the Sacramento Blues Society Hall of Fame in 2018.
Red's Blues draw their audiences into a grown-up music world—southern music with downhome simmer, dance floor fun and stellar, sophisticated players who know they have no need to blast at earsplitting volumes to make the biggest impact.

Some countries require a Cadaver Certificate before they will allow the body into the country for burial. The certificate, if issued, confirms that no epidemic of infectious disease occurred in the borough for some three months preceding the death.
The funeral director, making the arrangements on behalf of the relatives, usually handles this formality of obtaining the cadaver certificate. However, anyone can apply.
The funeral directors will also help with anything requested by the coroner and with requirements of the authorities in the overseas country to which the deceased is going. Some of these requirements may apply for burial in another part of the United Kingdom.
The certificate is issued by the Environmental Health Officer for the Council in whose area the person died, or from whence it is to be exhumed prior to reburial elsewhere.
If a death occurs abroad, the death should be registered according to the local regulations of that country and a Death Certificate should be obtained. To bring a body back to England or Wales you will need either the Death Certificate or an authorisation for the removal of the body from the country of death by someone authorised to do so.
translation of documents, if necessary.
If the death was not natural it will be referred to the coroner who will open an inquest to investigate the cause and circumstance of death. In this case the coroner will issue a Form 6 and a Form E for cremation.

Makai kadhi or Corn on the cob in a yogurt soup with coconut | Authentic Vegetarian Recipes | Traditional Indian Food | Step-by-Step Recipes | Give Me Some Spice!
"Makai" is a Swahili word for sweetcorn. I still remember the superb taste of the "Makai" I used to buy from the street vendors in Kenya. The corn they served had large firm kernels. They roasted the corn on charcoal and served it sprinkled with a mixture of salt and chilly powder with a dash of lemon. I would eat this on my way home from school.
Sweetcorn is available in several forms in the UK – Fresh, frozen or in cans. You can get just the kernels or on the cob. We all love fresh corn on the cob – either just boiled or roasted under the grill. We serve it hot drizzled in butter. The corn we get here in the UK is very sweet and cooks really fast.
Today, my family wanted me to make them Makai kadhi or Corn on the cob in a yogurt soup with coconut. Makai kadhi or Corn on the cob in a yogurt soup with coconut dish can be eaten on it's own as a snack or as a main course where you can serve it with rice and chapatis. This recipe can also be adopted as a low calorie recipe by not adding the sugar and using less oil for the tempering.
1. Boil or steam the corn on the cob.
2. Cut the corn into manageable pieces.
3. In a saucepan, mix the yogurt with 1,000 mls of water.
4. Add in the chickpea flour and blend the mixture.
5. Add in the salt, sugar, turmeric, ginger, garlic and green chillies blended mixture, coriander, curry leaves and the dessicated coconut.
6. Also add in the sweetcorn kernels and the small boiled pieces of corn.

Ram Records / Killbox-Neverwhere / Flowidus- Zulu / Bensley- Under the sunshine
After being unveiled eight months ago, at Ram Records' seminal New Years Eve event, Killbox need little introduction. Made up of bass weight pioneers Audio and Ed Rush, whose combined experience dwarfs some of the scene's major players, they continue to unleash sonically charged cuts which are engraving another page in the genre's history books. With decades between them spent pioneering its darker realms, alongside definitive imprint Ram Records, their self-titled EP, as well as consecutive singles 'Witchmaker' and 'Clickbait' ft. Rymetyme have ensured they remain at the top of their game. And after being crowded in secrecy, their 2017 assault has remained unstoppable. Up next from the production outfit is 'Neverwhere', returning to the same cataclysmic vibes which have made them so notorious. Whilst Audio brings his aggressive, tightly engineered stabs of distortion, Ed Rush delivers the rolling drum peddles and guttural bassline which he became renowned for in his earlier years. 'Neverwhere' is undeniably huge – the track cuts a deep groove within any set, firing hook after meticulously chiselled hook, paving the way for all-out anarchy on the dancefloor. Killbox never bow to anyone's expectations; their slick sound design is unapologetic and their furious production is injected from the very beginning. Even from the first flare of foreboding atmospherics, you know 'Neverwhere' is about to take you down to subterranean levels. Once again, immerse yourself in the Killbox collective's intimidating soundscape. Not even a year old, they're already shaking the genre to its core and with the speed of their release output, the duo are set to maintain their domination.
Bensley was an artist picked from relative obscurity – a name which was absent from cyberspace, with no music available to stream anywhere online. However, when his intricately crafted, stunning sonic demos landed on the desk of Andy C's esteemed Ram Records imprint, he soon rose to infamy within the drum & bass world. His release 'Fandango', the first snapshot into his impeccable production standard, was met with critical claim, from press to radio. Pedestalled on the revered UKF platform and on tastemaker Mistajam's Radio 1xtra show, his story became legendary. The nineteen-year-old was an anomaly within dance music, grafting alone in the studio only to be picked up by one of dance music's most definitive imprints. Shortly after his exclusive signing to Ram, he released his debut LP 'Next Generation'. For an artist that young to release such an impressive body of work, over such a small period, was almost unheard of. And in the years following, he followed up this album with single after single of unrestrained talent. His next offering comes in the form of 'Under the Sunshine', once again returning to a more vocal-lead style which resonates more outside of the club. With dreamy synths, beautifully rolling beats and Charlotte Haining's vocal overtones adding to the track's strident melody, 'Under the Sunshine' flexes Bensley's full production might. It's a crossover electronic track layered by his penchant for song writing. The story continues for Bensley. 'Under the Sunshine' represents his evolving sound and with the guidance provided by Ram, he's looking to develop his artistry throughout an array of genres. Drum & bass was the beginning, but his multi-faceted skillset continues to grow with every release; this single is a testament to that. https://ram.lnk.to/UnderTheSun

Sandra Dee ended up in the wrong hands and had 7 kittens, all given away for FREE. We don't like to hear this kind of story in cat rescue, we work too hard to let them go for FREE. There are too many horror stories about where those FREE kittens go, dog fight bait, snake food, labs and other horrible situations. Sandra Dee is missing her babies of only 6 weeks old, way too young to be away from mom. They should be allowed to be with her at least 10 weeks and weaned. Oh well, Sandra Dee will get spayed next week and find a wonderful home where she won't find herself with unwanted kittens any more. Think before you adopt, a Free cat/kitten isn't Free.

Washington County Sheriff's Office Hand Out Turkey Baskets
Members of the Washington County Sheriff's Office handed out Thanksgiving baskets to families in need during the holiday season this week. This is an event that hs been going on for 25 years and Undersheriff Jon Copeland, who has been on the force since 1997, says he has seen it grow from being able to help out four or five families a year to where they assisted 31 families in 2020. Copeland goes on to explain the benefits of the yearly event.
Copeland goes on to talk about how rewarding this event is for he and his fellow officers to take part in every year.
Copeland would like to thank all of the community organizations, sponsors and individual donors who made the event possible. Copeland said this has been the largest one yet, which he admits is remarkable in light of the difficult times we have faced over the past year.
