Liberty seeks its first state title while Prep already has two. As always, there's national rankings, this week's upcoming Final Four state-playoff matchups, complete playoff schedule, updated college commits, all-classification Top 10 rankings and state rankings by classification at the bottom of this post. By MATT MASSEY | Special to The Seattle Times Liberty topples No. 1 Columbia River, earns shot at Seattle Prep When the Liberty High School girls soccer team needed to be at its best, it simply has been flawless in 2013. In the Patriots' last four playoff wins, they've outscored opponents 10-0. Those shutouts include Wednesday's 2-0 upset victory at Columbia River, which entered state action as the top-ranked team in Class 3A and one owning an 83-0 scoring advantage. Liberty was undaunted and scored the first and only two goals of the season against the defending 3A champion Chieftains. Then, the Pats beat Metro League tournament champion Bishop Blanchet 3-0 on Saturday to earn berth in the 3A state semifinals on Friday at Puyallup's Sparks Stadium against another Metro League school, Seattle Prep. Liberty players remember a 2-1 overtime shootout loss Columbia River in last year's state semifinals. The memory was a driving factor in Wednesday's big upset. "This was a little bit of revenge that [the Liberty girls] wanted," Liberty coach Tami Nguyen said. "We were actually the last team to score against them in the semifinals last year. We didn't concentrate on the fact no one had scored on them, but we talked about it. "Every single game we just concentrated on what we do well and can we match that same level from one game to the next." After clearing a monster hurdle, it doesn't seem fair that the Patriots (13-4-4) now must face the vaunted Panthers' program. Seattle Prep (13-3-6) beat Metro League Mountain Division regular-season champion Bainbridge 1-0 in the quarterfinals. The Patriots, who got goals from Jacquelyn Anderson and Sami Harrell in the 65th and 74th minutes against Columbia River, keep growing match by match and Friday's semifinal should be evenly matched. "We lost seven starters from last year, so this a completely new group," said Nguyen of her 2012 team, which took fourth at state. The Patriots feature a two-goalkeeper system with Katie McGuire starting and Amy Ellenberg finishing. They have combined for eight shutouts, including four in a row in postseason. History is on the Patriots' side as they hold a 3-1 advantage in state matches against Prep. The Pats' stinging lone loss to Prep came on a tough 3-2 decision in the 2011 3A title match. That was Liberty's lone state championship appearance in girls soccer. "They're a pretty solid team," said Prep coach Andy Hendricks, whose program has reached state 13 of the last 14 seasons. "They've got solid core, with a good center mid and they're pretty quick up front. Liberty is a strong program. "I don't think they have a state title yet, but they're kind of the one program you kind of expect to have a state title, because they've been there so often. They've been knocking on the door, so we expect a tight game." The 10th-ranked Panthers feature three senior players going for their third 3A state title in four seasons – central midfielder, Mary Ann Santucci, midfielder Jenay McAuley and goalkeeper Abby Rockwell. Both Santucci and Rockwell are four-year starters and McAuley played on varsity all four seasons with the exception of missing her junior season with a knee injury. "We're a pretty young team other than the three or four players who have that [playoff] experience," Hendricks said. "Relatively speaking, we're pretty young. [Santucci] opens up the game for others. She sees the game very well." Rockwell has been a rock in goal for the Panthers for four seasons. She owns a career record of 59-7-21 and has posted 48 career shutouts, including 12 this season. Her career goals-against average is 0.55. Hendricks will have big shoes to fill after Rockwell's final match. "Every high-school coach worries about goalkeeping, so having her graduate is a worry for us," he said. "We're not sure who's going to fill those shoes. To know you have someone solid back there that you can rely on and that has been in big games, puts you in position where you don't have to worry." Prep has appeared in the 3A championship match five of the last seven seasons and within one win of making it six of eight. With six ties, one might question the Panthers' ability to finish matches. They will need that ability come Friday and Saturday if they want to add to the school's state titles in 2010 and 2011. "It wasn't that we weren't getting our chances," Hendricks said. "We were getting our chances, but weren't putting it in or we were getting unlucky. There were games where we had two posts and a crossbar. I mean what do you say to a kid. "They've done everything right except for the ball's not going in." Leading Seattle Prep is scoring is sophomore midfielder Jalen Woodward with 11 goals and seven assists. Santucci has added nine goals and six assists. Liberty is led in scoring by Anderson, a senior, and Harrell, a junior, with 10 goals and six assists each. Issaquah wins 'epic' match with KingCo 4A rival Skyline Issaquah coach Tom Bunnell called the match "epic." Last Saturday night's Class 4A state quarterfinal tussle between Bunnell's Eagles and KingCo 4A nemesis and top-ranked Skyline was good to the last drop. The Eagles, playing on their home field in front of 1,000-plus fans, delivered a spine-tingling 2-1 overtime shootout victory over the Spartans after six rounds of penalty kicks. The Eagles won the shootout by a 5-4 count to avenge to losses to Skyline in 2013. Fans poured onto the field to start what would be a 45-minute celebration, according to Bunnell. The frenzied atmosphere came after freshman Kaylene Pang made her sixth-round kick and Skyline's Jordan Branch missed wide right on the Spartans' final chance to tie. "This match had to rank up there in my Top 5 all-time," Bunnell said. "The atmosphere was fantastic. When it's Issaquah-Skyline, you know it will be." Skyline beat Issaquah 1-0 in KingCo 4A play on Oct. 24 and then piled on a 4-0 victory on Oct. 31 in the KingCo 4A championship match. That sweetened the pot on Saturday, not to mention that Skyline was the two-time defending state champ. "The game got physical like Issaquah-Skyline games do," Bunnell said. " The Eagles (14-4-1) advanced to face Olympia (15-3-2) in Friday's state semifinals at 8 p.m. at Puyallup's Sparks Stadium. The two schools, located 6.5 miles apart, have faced off for state 4A titles twice. Skyline beat the Eagles in 2009, emerging with a 2-1 overtime shootout win and then came out on top 1-0 last year in the 4A finale. Issaquah is looking for its fourth state title, one that would match Skyline's four in 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2012, all at the 4A level. The Eagles are still seeking the school's first state crown in 4A after winning 3A titles in 2004, 2006 and 2007. On Saturday, the stakes were raised and there was no drama missing. "In that KingCo championship, we didn't show up to play," Bunnell said. "We made some adjustments. We had the confidence to know we can hang with them. The crowd was big and fun and that helped." After Skyline, which finished 14-2-1, took a 1-0 lead on Branch's 38th-minute goal on an assist for Bianca Saint, the Eagles' Lyrik Fryer knotted the match in the 62nd minute. After that, both teams traded shots until shootout. The best chance for a goal before shootout came when Skyline goalkeeper Jaeden Chew saved a 16-yard shot from junior Devan Talley in the final minute of the first five-minute overtime or the 85th minute. "Devan hit a cracker and Chew just made a ridiculous save, going to her right," Bunnell said. "It was a great shot and a great save." It was purple-and-gold pandemonium after Skyline's final miss in penalty kicks. "The girls ran out and went crazy, then they opened the gates and the whole student section joined them," Bunnell said. "Our whole side was packed and there was a ton of people on the Skyline side. "The gate outdrew the football team's playoff game. That just puts in perspective the kind of crowd that was there." The Eagles must move their focus to Friday. "The girls realize what they have to do," Bunnell said. "That game's behind us. It's a great moment. That was a huge game but it's just part of the road. Last year, they wanted to win it all and this year they do too." Seattle Academy, University Prep and King's give local leagues 3 of 4 teams in 1A Final Four University Prep (16-3-1), the defending Class 1A state champion, and Seattle Academy (18-1-1) give the Emerald City League a pair of top contenders for the 1A state championship this weekend. King's (18-3-0), of the Cascade Conference in a mixed-classification league, and LaSalle (19-1-0) round out the Final Four. Seattle Academy, which won the regular season title in the Emerald City League, could face league runner-up University Prep in the state final should both teams advance from the semifinals on Friday. The Cardinals finished 11-0-1 in league play and the runner-up Pumas were 10-1-1. Seattle Academy put both blemishes on the Pumas' record, beating them on 3-0 on Oct. 18 after a 1-1 tie on Sept. 24. After Seattle Academy dropped a 2-0 decision to King's in the Tri-District 1A tournament on Nov. 9, Seattle Academy coach Rob Phillips still saw hope. Phillips told his team, "the only undefeated season I've ever cared about is going 4-0 in the state tournament." University Prep topped Seattle Christian 3-2 in last year's 1A title match. Seattle Academy won 1A state titles in 2005, 2008, 2009 and 2011. Senior forward Sofia Barsher leads the Cardinals with 25 goals and 10 assists and senior goalkeeper Emily Mark has posted 13 of her 30 career shutouts this season. Spartans look for repeat in 2A Sumner (16-2-1) is the lone local team left in the Class 2A field and the Spartans will be looking to defend their 2A crown. Sumner beat Sehome 1-0 last season in the 1A final to cap off a perfect 21-0-0 season.

Windows 7 and Quicken 2012 Dialog Boxes
Windows 7 (and application programs like Quicken 2012) uses a special type of window, called a dialog box, to communicate with you. In fact, after you choose a command, Windows 7 and application programs often display a dialog box to get the information they need to carry out the command.
Dialog boxes have these unique design elements: text boxes, check boxes, tabs, option buttons (also called radio buttons), command buttons, and list boxes.
Windows 7 and Quicken 2012 text boxes
Text boxes provide a space into which you can enter text. To see what a text box looks like, start WordPad (if you haven't already), type Semper fidelis, and then click the Home tab's Find button. WordPad, responding nicely to your deft touch, displays the Find dialog box. The text box is the box to the right of the words Find What.
If the selection cursor — the flashing line or outline that selects the active element of a dialog box — isn't already in the text box, you need to move it there by clicking in the text box. Then type in the text. If this "active element" mumbo-jumbo seems too technical, just press Tab a bunch of times and watch the dialog box. See that thing that moves around from box to button to box? It selects the active element.
You can move the selection cursor several ways:
Click in the text box.
Press Tab or Shift+Tab until the selection cursor is in the text box. (Pressing Tab moves the selection cursor to the next element; pressing Shift+Tab moves the selection cursor to the preceding element.)
Press the Alt+key combination. For example, press Alt+N to move the selection cursor to the Find What text box.
If you make a typing mistake in the text box, use the Backspace key to erase incorrect characters.
You also can move the insertion bar — the vertical line that shows where what your type gets placed — by using the left- and right-arrow keys. The left-arrow key moves the insertion bar one character to the left without deleting any characters. The right-arrow key moves the insertion bar one character to the right without deleting any characters.
Windows 7 and Quicken 2012 check boxes
Check boxes work like on-off switches. A check box is "on" if the box is selected with a check mark. A check box is "off" if the box is empty.
To turn a check box on or off with the mouse, click the check box. If the check box is on, your click turns off the check box. If the check box is off, your click turns on the check box.
You also can use the spacebar to select and deselect a check box. After you move the selection cursor to the check box, press the spacebar to alternatively select and deselect the check box. Toggle, toggle, toggle.
Windows 7 and Quicken 2012 option buttons
Option buttons (or radio buttons) are sets of buttons representing mutually exclusive choices. The Insert Object dialog box, which appears when you click WordPad's Insert Object, uses the Create New and Create From File option buttons.
You can select only one option button in a set. Windows 7 or the Windows 7 application identifies the selected button by putting a bullet, or darkened circle, inside the button. The easiest way to select an option button is to click the option button you want.
Windows 7 and Quicken 2012 command buttons
Every dialog box has command buttons. Command buttons tell Windows 7 or an application program what you want to do after you finish with a dialog box.
To choose a command button, either click it or move the selection cursor to a command button, and then press Enter.
Windows 7 and Quicken 2012 list boxes
List boxes list a series of possible choices. And you see list boxes all over the place. Windows 7 and Windows 7 applications use two types of list boxes: a regular list box like and a drop-down list box.
Drop-down list boxes look like text boxes with a down-arrow key at the right end of the box, and the Home tab of the WordPad program window supplies several drop-down list boxes.
After it's opened, a drop-down list box works the same as a regular list box. After you select an item from the list box (by using the mouse or the arrow keys), press Enter.
Unfortunately, a list is sometimes too long for the list box to completely display. When this minor tragedy occurs, you can use the PgUp and PgDn keys to page through the list.
You also can use the scroll bar — the vertical bar with arrows at either end. Just drag the square scroll bar selector up or down. You also can click the arrows at either end of the scroll bar, or you can click the scroll bar itself. (This last trick moves the scroll bar selector toward the place where you clicked.)

Released: 28/09/2014
eISBN: 9781783065813
Format: eBook
France, the Soul of a Journey is a travel memoir that really gets into the veins of France's lush ambience. R J ODonnell recounts a holiday there with three travelling companions, proving with humour and literary flourish why France is the most visited country in the world. From the chain of spires in medieval Normandy, south to the Loire Valley where Renaissance France and the ideas of the great civilisation first began, the mood is laden with what makes France so loved.
The French themselves give the tantalising name la France profonde to the deep countryside where traces of traditional farming still linger and where ethereal France is at its most potent. As rolling hills, buzzing markets and local lore reveal themselves, the passing tourist too gets caught up in that rare love the French have for the soil.
The travellers share great moments: at a church concert, sampling the local cuisine or seizing a moment of nostalgia in a salon de thé. Anecdotes of the people met along the way enliven the journey with passing humour, while conversational tones of friendship and fun are never far off. Most of all, travelling in a group calls for the distilling of differences into that holiday essential called compromise.
While this book carries the substance of careful research, facts do not weigh down the narrative but are presented in an engaging style. France's history, myths and legends weave subtly into the story and historical figures are taken off textbook pedestals and introduced in a light and personalised way.
France, the Soul of a Journey is a fascinating read not just to potential visitors to the country, but to those interested in a novel-style account of a holiday with some history and culture thrown in.

But for those of you who suggested I go straight to the top? I think that might be necessary.
Here is where things stand at present.
You see, yesterday I was looking for retired crayons, and I found that, according to the Crayola website, there were twelve "retired" shades: the eight that are available in a special collector's tin on eBay, and the four that aren't. You know, the ones I was ranting about -- magic mint and teal and mulberry and that stuff. So this was of grave concern, obviously, because those are Important shades, and frankly I think it is Crayola's responsibility to make those available to the needy consumer.
However, there is something rotten in the state of Pennsylvania, where Crayola is based. I first got a whiff of it when I noted that the thistle crayon, although it is NOT a part of the 120- or 150-count boxes, is nevertheless not marked as "retired". Well, if it is not retired, then why is it not available? What is the distinction between "retired" and "unavailable"? Something is fishy here.
The plot thickens.
Because there is the issue of piggy pink. I had forgotten about piggy pink when I posted yesterday -- which is interesting, because it is an issue I have been well aware of in recent months. You see, for a long time I colored with a 120-count box of crayons, and one of the standout colors in it was piggy pink. Now, despite its awful name, this was a really useful crayon, because it's very close to white, with just the slightest pink shading. This makes it very important in blending -- many's the pink flower I've colored, deep pink in the center and almost white at the edges, for which piggy pink has been absolutely crucial in ensuring that the various shades of pink blend smoothly into one another. And so I deeply regret to tell you all that piggy pink is NOT PRESENT in the 150-count set of crayons. This has not bothered me too much of late, because I simply took the piggy pink crayon from my 120-count box of crayons and placed it in the 150-count box. But this is not a wholly satisfactory arrangement. For one thing, the piggy pink crayon is quite worn at this point, from all that blending; and for another, I took my 120-count box of crayons to my family's summer cottage on Cape Cod, so I wouldn't have to carry crayons back and forth with me, but now that box is missing a piggy pink crayon and I cannot color any pink flowers while on vacation.
But the piggy pink crayon is not listed as retired either. Moreover, Crayola's website explicitly claims that the piggy pink crayon is part of the 150-count box.
Has Crayola been discontinuing crayons *without* officially retiring them? Without even *notifying the public of the change?* Because if so, I mean, this is very serious. By denying them an official retirement, they are erasing these crayons from Crayola history. Please alert the spirit of George Orwell. This is very disturbing.
And as any dystopian half worth his salt would tell you, when The Man starts changing history to suit his purposes, there is no way of knowing where he will stop. I have not done a systematic cross-comparison of the crayons from my 120-count box with the crayons from my 150-count box. What if there are more crayons missing from the 150-count box that I haven't noticed have gone missing because they are of less prominent importance than the piggy pink shade? And what about the 100-count box? I don't even have one of those, and even if I did, I could not be certain that it was the same 100-count box that was originally produced. What if they are silently phasing crayons out all the time, and nobody notices because there are just so many crayons now?
And there are even more things that are wrong here! I went to eBay just now looking for old crayon collections and found something called a Crayola State Crayon Collection. The crayons are all named after states, or something. What *are* these? The official Crayola History site makes no mention of them! Are they 50 wholly new shades of crayons? Are they old shades of crayons relabeled with state names? (And if there are 50 crayons, how does this square with the assertion that Puerto Rico is included?) And DO YOU KNOW ALSO that Crayola has just come out with eight NEW colors? These are apparently available in the 64-count box, but which eight crayons have they traded out? Their site does not tell us. We have no way of knowing.
I am deeply disturbed.
And so I think the time has come for me to write to the Crayola corporation and demand answers. Where have thistle and piggy pink disappeared to? Are there any other colors that have mysteriously disappeared, with no notification to the public and no acknowledgment, even, that they ever existed? They may deny everything. If so, I will have to take further steps. Perhaps diligent eBaying will find me enough old boxes of crayons that I can do my own independent cross-comparison of the contents and report to LJ with my findings. Perhaps there are other Crayola enthusiasts out there who own various boxes from various points in history and who could be induced, via email or blog comments, to provide an inventory of what their boxes contain -- and what they don't.
But the truth must be brought to light.
ETA: Oh man, thanks so much to andrewducker for bringing this to light. Now I know that there are people out there as obsessive as I! The webpage does not fully answer all of my questions: for example, it lists piggy pink as being a current shade, and I know it isn't in my box. It lists several colors as having been renamed (Vivid Tangerine to Fun in the Sun? "Fun in the Sun" DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A COLOR! Unless it's bright pink from sunburn!) when I know they haven't. At least, not in the 150-count box I have. And there are 152 crayon shades listed, but my box of 150 crayons seems actually to have 150 crayons, and eight of them are glitter crayons (unlisted on that wiki) and eight others are metallic crayons (also unlisted on the wiki). And I love my glitter crayons and my metallic crayons... but which eighteen crayons are missing from the 150 box? And why do they not tell you about it? Why do they pretend that the only color that was ever removed from a purportedly full-line box of crayons in order to make the count even was the removal of thistle from the 120-count box? I am impressed by the work of the diligent original researchers (WIKIPEDIA SAYS THAT LIKE IT'S A BAD THING, BUT HOW ELSE ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET AT THE TRUTH, I WANT TO KNOW) who have provided me with so much information via Wikipedia. But I think I still must write to Crayola. This isn't over yet.

Whether at home or traveling a dirt road in the north country, there's almost always a camera within arm's length. As a result of this longtime habit, there occasionally is a reward in the form of a quality photo of rare, wary, shy species of birds and mammals, or simply a gorgeous sunset.
I've spent a great deal of time in our woodlands and on our waters. These pursuits often have been part of long drives through some of the wildest country in the eastern third of our nation. At home, there is a bird feeder near the office window.
Whether at home or traveling a dirt road in the north country, there's almost always a camera within arm's length. As a result of this longtime habit, there occasionally is a reward in the form of a quality photo of rare, wary, shy species of birds and mammals, or simply a gorgeous sunset.
The operative word in the previous paragraph is "almost." Murphy's Law hangs on me like the force of gravity around a planet.
I can count on missing a potentially great photograph whenever the batteries are dead, or the camera case has been covered or moved out of reach.
For example: During the only time in 20 years I didn't have the camera in my lap during the 22-mile drive out of Baker Lake, a remote spot in northern Maine, a black bear slowly walked across a logging road, stopped and posed for the camera — that naturally was under a pile of fishing rods in the back of the van.
Or, the day the camera was left on the kitchen counter prior to a pike fishing trip to Mansfield Hollow. It was perfect fishing conditions during a spent hurricane. However, the rain squalls intermittently were very intense, so I decided not to retrieve the camera in order to spare it a serious, possibly fatal drenching.
Naturally, that was the day I caught my largest northern pike, a 43.25-inch, 21-pound dragon that was released in great shape after its measurements were taken (at least there was a witness to the catch).
Last Friday morning, the camera was "off duty" on the charger at home, and once again it was a mistake that potentially cost one of the rarest photo opportunities ever!
Over a lifetime afield, on two occasions I've heard the banshee-like cry of a bobcat, and three or four other times seen their tracks in fresh snow or soft mud. But, I've never had the thrill of seeing one, even at a distance, until that morning.
My first encounter was an audible one, about 30 years ago while heading back to the Jeep after a long, unsuccessful day of deer hunting on a 380-acre piece of private property in North Stonington.
It was a cold, calm day so sounds carried, making stalking and still hunting nearly impossible on dry leaves. At dusk, banshee-like screams suddenly came echoing from the direction of an access point to state forest land that bordered the private property we hunted.
Those sounds, which I'd never heard before, were like a scene from a horror movie, when the beautiful maiden meets the monster, face to face.
I'd been hunting on 380 acres of private land all day with a "3006" slung over my shoulder, so a mugger or rapist wouldn't pose much of a threat, and cell phones were at least a decade into the future.
I decided to investigate, just in case someone was in dire straits.
As I began heading in that direction, on a course straight through the woods, it didn't take long to realize that whatever was making those horrific sounds was moving through some dense brush at a pace much straighter and faster than any human could maintain.
Realizing that it was an animal of some sort that was on state forest property, and I was carrying a weapon that's not legal on state lands, I double timed back to the Jeep, loaded up quickly and drove past that wide place in the road just to see if there was any sort of vehicle parked in the spot.
It was empty with no fresh tire marks or other sign of human presence in the area. Needless to say, I was relieved but curious as to what had made those screams.
It most likely was a bobcat, but there weren't many of them in the state at that time.
My longtime hunting buddy, Pete Minta, who has had experience with these felines during his years in the woods, agreed, and we were right.
While hunting for ruffed grouse on the same property shortly after the first snow that year, we came across a set of bobcat tracks. As further verification, the person who rented a small house on the property told us he'd seen a bobcat walk through the yard during the previous fall.
Three or four winters ago, my daughter had a bobcat that she saw on two separate occasions in her Salem backyard.
However, until last Friday, all my encounters have been tracks in the snow, banshee screams and second-hand stories.
I was driving along a back road in Salem, when a mid-sized animal darted across the road a hundred yards or so ahead. At that distance, it looked like a small, short-tailed dog, such as a Scotch Terrier, that was roaming and stuck between the heaps of snow along the road.
I slowed the car as its crossing point was approached, expecting to see a dog, and hoping it could be coaxed into the car and off the narrow and dangerous road. Hopefully, it would have a tag on its collar, with the address or phone number of its owner.
Fifteen or 20 feet into a frozen swamp, there was some movement and a bobcat, with what appeared to be a bird, possibly a duck, in its mouth, moved quickly along some open water, stopped and stared at me for a full two minutes before turning and trotting into the brush with its meal.
There was plenty of time to grab my camera, which is in the car at least 90 percent of the time, but not for this fortunate and random encounter.
Friends frequently ask: "Why is that camera always in the car?" The answer for years has been: "In case I see Bigfoot!" — or maybe another bobcat, or a bear, a deer or one of the many hawks that perch along our roadways.

In the business arena, confidence is key. It can help you network successfully and build your clientele. Confidence is also attractive: it brings positive attention and can help open doors to new opportunities.
Unfortunately, confidence is not easily obtained. It can take years to build up the true confidence that you need for success. However, research shows that confidence can be learned through the "fake it 'til you make it" approach. You can give off the air of confidence (reaping the benefits of better relations and opportunities) while simultaneously teaching yourself to be more confident. Here are seven tips to look confident, even if you do not feel like you are.
1. Improve Your Posture
Slouching makes you seem small and insignificant. Body language makes up a minimum of sixty percent of all human communication. Crossing your arms, avoiding eye contact, and hanging your head all act to reinforce the idea that you lack confidence.
Standing up straight is much more powerful and confident. A fairly easy fix in your body language will make all the difference in how you are perceived. Think about standing as tall as you possibly can, like something is pulling you up, with your shoulders pushed back slightly. Look straight ahead! Try not to cross your arms, but place them on your hips or at your sides instead.
2. Listen More Than You Speak
Talking rapidly and frequently comes off as insecure and nervous. It can be hard to allow for a little silence in a conversation, especially when you are feeling anxious, but it is important to make your words count. Do not rush to fill the silence with empty words.
Confident people already know what they think, so they want to hear what others have to say. Ask questions that allow people to answer thoughtfully. If you do not know what to ask, try to ask for advice instead. Asking for advice from someone implies that you both respect the person you are speaking to and are humble enough to admit you do not know everything.
3. Smile Generously
When many people are thinking, they tend to make strange facial expressions. Confident people listen carefully, and therefore are able to respond to what is being said. Instead of thinking about how to respond with your words in a conversation, monitor your facial expressions.
Smiling shows that you are warm, approachable, and friendly. Practice genuine smiles in the mirror and try them out when listening. Your facial expression may be saying more about you than your words are!
4. Praise Others
Give credit where credit is due, and maybe sometimes where it is not. Be generous with your compliments and accolades, but be careful to also be genuine. People who are confident don't need the extra attention. They are proud of what they have achieved and do not seek validation from others. Putting the spotlight on others proves that your validation comes from within.
Sharing the confidence and giving the people around you a little boost is a great way to defeat the idea that you are shy or lack confidence. Not only will it give you the illusion of confidence, but it will also help you build relationships with your coworkers and earn their respect.
5. Recognize and Admit to Your Mistakes
Confident people recognize when they have made an error and learn from it, while insecure people deny making mistakes because they fear mistakes may devalue their worth. Do not hide behind excuses or other people, as it gives you an air of cowardice.
Do not try to be perfect—no one is. Everyone will see through the guise very quickly. Try not to get hung up on your mistakes: instead, focus on what you can learn from them. Confident people embrace their failures and shortcomings. They learn from them and even share them for humorous or cautionary purposes.
6. Exercise: Work Off the Anxiety
When you are stressed, you secrete more cortisol, the chemical that triggers your flight-or-fight response. High cortisol levels can make you more emotional, less creative, and reduce your cognitive functions. Anxiety is one emotion that works hard to kill your confidence.
A great treatment for stress and anxiety is exercise. Here are some examples of exercise that you can do:
- Yoga
- Bike rides
- Surfing
- Slow-pitch softball
You can even try to work exercise into your schedule by taking a walk at lunch. Just a small amount of activity can help to increase your energy levels and boost your mood.

7. Make Eye Contact
Next time you are having a conversation with someone, take note of how much or how little this person makes eye contact with you. You will notice that confident people make a lot of eye contact, while nervous people spend a lot of time looking down or away. During your interactions, be sure to make eye contact. Not only will it convey confidence but will also show your respect for the other person.
Confidence is a true virtue that can improve your quality of life and affect your entrepreneurial success. In order to be confident, you must act confidently. If you follow these seven tips, you will begin to appear more confident, which will make you feel more confident. It is a beautiful cycle that can make all the difference in your career.

Other things to note:
1. 'Lundi' is the Icelandic word for puffin, as shown on stamp. Wikipedia has this to say about the island of Lundy off the British coast: 'The name Lundy is believed to come from the old Norse word for "puffin island" (Lundey), lundi being the Norse word for a puffin and ey, an island'
2. The hot dog diagram would go nicely in our Food thread.
3. A PROPER hot dog is bun/dog/ketchup/French's mustard, but perhaps that ought to go in the food thread.

@ Vera: I know someone who collects NZ so he might know but I think he's preoccupied digging out his cattle from under the snow so it might be a little while before he's back on stamps and I can bother him about this.
Aland will be issuing new bird stamps in April. There's loons included and somehow I'm always happy to see a loon on a stamp. Here's the press release:
Loons and grebes in this year's stamp booklet
The Black-throated Loon is 60 to 70 cm in length with a 110 to 130 cm wingspan. It is easily distinguished by a grey head and a chequered black-and-white mantle. The Red-throated Loon is 50 to 70 cm in length with a 105 to 115 cm wingspan. Its bill is thin and often held pointing slightly upwards. The adult bird has a dark grey head and an all-dark grey-brown mantle. The Great Crested Grebe is 45 to 50 cm in length with a 85 to 90 cm wingspan. These birds are easily distinguished from other water birds by their elaborate black and reddish brown wide cheek tufts. The Horned Grebe is 30 to 40 cm in length with a 60 to 65 cm wingspan. It is unmistakable with its distinctive bright orange earlike tufts, black cheeks and red neck.
This is the third time Åland Post issues WWF stamps (World Wildlife Fund). Two WWF booklets have been issued previously, one presenting Eagle Owls in 1996 and another featuring Steller's Eiders in 2001. Issued since 1982, WWF stamps form the largest thematic stamp collection in the world. WWF stamps always feature endangered species. Part of the stamp issue is sold in the form of thematic packs, and part of the profit is donated to WWF to assist them in preserving endangered species.
Of those mentioned, I have the Steller's Eider stamps, which are beautiful:

In their views of probability they were influenced by William Ernest Johnson and John Maynard Keynes. Dorothy Wrinch had, in fact, attended lectures by Johnson. Jeffreys used the ideas from these papers in his book Scientific Inference published by Cambridge University Press in 1931. We give three short extracts from the work. We give below Jeffreys' Preface to the book.

Scientific Inference
Harold JeffreysM.A., D.Sc., F.R.S.
at the University Press
The present work had its beginnings in a series of papers published jointly some years ago by Dr Dorothy Wrinch and myself. Both before and since that time several books purporting to give analyses of the principles of scientific inquiry have appeared, but it seems to me that none of them gives adequate attention to the chief guiding principle of both scientific and everyday knowledge: that it is possible to learn from experience and to make inferences from it beyond the data directly known by sensation. Discussions from the philosophical and logical point of view have tended to the conclusion that this principle cannot be justified by logic alone, which is true, and have left it at that. In discussions by physicists, on the other hand, it hardly seems to be noticed that such a principle exists. In the present work the principle is frankly adopted as a primitive postulate and its consequences are developed. It is found to lead to an explanation and a justification of the high probabilities attached in practice to simple quantitative laws, and thereby to a recasting of the processes involved in description. As illustrations of the actual relations of scientific laws to experience it is shown how the sciences of mensuration and dynamics may be developed. I have been stimulated to an interest in the subject myself on account of the fact that in my work in the subjects of cosmogony and geophysics it has habitually been necessary to apply physical laws far beyond their original range of verification in both time and distance, and the problems involved in such extrapolation have therefore always been prominent.
My thanks are due to the staff of the Cambridge University Press for their care and courtesy; also to Dr Wrinch and Mr M H A Newman, who have read the whole in proof and suggested many improvements.

Holiday Gift Guide: Ryan North's Money Laundering Bag
The Money Laundering Bag
Available From: TopatoCo
Price: $19.00
I don't know about you guys, but one of my greatest complaints about daily life is that I don't look as much like a cartoon criminal as I think I should. Fortunately for this little aspect of the (non-animated) human condition, Dinosaur Comics creator Ryan North has remedied this situation in a way that's slightly less likely to get you shot than walking around wearing a domino mask and striped pajamas.Admittedly, $20 is a pretty steep price to pay for what essentially amounts to a canvas laundry bag with a screenprinted dollar sign on it, but we both know that your Scrooge McDuck costume at the next San Diego Comic-Con just isn't going to look complete without it. Besides, actually using it to store large quantities of cash in a clearly labeled, easily transported container is probably safer than putting it in the stock market.
Plus, if you fill it with loose change, it makes a dandy home defense system! It's a win-win!

I am always amazed at how quickly time flies. It seems I am sitting down to start planning the start of a new school year, and then I blink and the year is over.
I am about to start planning my sixteenth year of homeschooling! But, it really doesn't seem that long. Most of the time, the days just fly by.
That's the reality of life, though, isn't it? My kids are growing fast – much faster than I'd like, in fact. One of the unexpected benefits of homeschooling, though, has been the gift of time. The time I get to invest in my children. The time they get to invest in their relationships with each other. The time the get to invest in pursuing their dreams.
Why Homeschool? The Gift of Time
It's being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one. ~ George Harrison
Time is precious! It goes by so fast. I know people say to 'treasure these days, because they go by so fast.' It used to bug me when people told me that when my kids were babies. But, it is true.
These years do go by so quickly even when the days seem so long. My youngest is 13, and my oldest is 22. It seems just yesterday I was bringing my oldest home from the hospital.
Just five minutes later, I sent him off to kindergarten.
An hour went by, and he was in high school.
Now, he's taking college classes and working full time.
I can't imagine missing out on all of those years with him {or my other two children}. I'll admit that there were days in the early years of homeschooling when I would gaze longingly at the school bus as it drove by. But, the reality is that I know my kids are {or were} right where they are supposed to be. Home. With me. With each other. Building relationships.
If I were to put them on the bus and send them off to school 8 hours each day, I would be missing out on so many important milestones in their lives. And, they'd be missing out on each other.
Homeschooling has allowed my children time to bond with each other. They aren't just brother and sister, they're friends. They typically enjoy hanging out with each other. When they aren't getting along, we can talk through our issues instead of sweeping them under the rug while they pass each other in the hallway a few minutes each day.
We have time to talk to each other. I know what my kids' dreams are. I was there when they chose to accept the Lord. I listen to their struggles with friends and tough subjects. I'm there to celebrate their successes. I know them.
I have time to feed their spiritual side. I build daily Bible time into our homeschool schedule. We memorize verses and review them all year long. I'm planting seeds in their souls. In our weekly devotions, we're building a biblical worldview. We study our subjects through a Christian lens. We study missionaries and how God works through 'regular' people to do His works.
Homeschooling affords my daughter the time to pursue her passion of dancing. She is currently in a pre-professional ballet program, and she spends 2-3 hours at the studio most school nights. I'm so glad that she doesn't have the added stress of homework. I listen to other mommas struggle with sending their kids off to school for 7+ hours each day only to have them come home and spend their "at home" time doing homework around their dance schedules. I can tailor our schedule so that Emma has the time to get her academics done before heading off to class or a competition or a private lesson.
Even though our days are busy and many times I don't know whether we're coming or going, I am still able to spend the bulk of their days with them. I know them inside and out, because I have the time to really get to know their hearts and their souls.
This season is short. I thankful for the time I get to spend with the most precious creation on earth – my sweet children!
What do you treasure most about homeschooling?

At Google, employees get 20% time where they can work on their own projects every week. At Microsoft, it's called The Garage and consists of an actual physical space for side projects. That space and time given to employees is bearing fruit as a new software release called Mouse without Borders demonstrates.
Truong Do, a Microsoft Dynamics developer in Redmond, got frustrated having to switch between different keyboard and mouse configurations for each PC he had in his office. So as a side project he started developing a way to control them all with a single keyboard and mouse.
That project became Mouse without Borders, and goes well beyond just navigation of multiple PCs. Using the software Truong has developed it's possible to login and out of multiple Windows PCs with a single keyboard and mouse. You can also seamlessly move between up to four PCs, and best of all, file copying through drag and drop works across those machines too.
It is the equivalent of having a single PC and four screens, only in this case you have multiple machines running those screens. All it requires is that you have a home network setup as that's the communication method Truong has taken advantage of to get this system working.
Not only has Mouse without Borders made Truong's desk a lot less cluttered, Microsoft has decided to make the software available to download for free for everyone to use. It's a 1.1MB file which you can download from the Microsoft IT website (direct download link).
Check out the video below to hear Truong talk about the software:

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Boron chemistry is very important in both an academic and technological sense. There has been a huge investment in materials science and inorganic chemistry behind boron and, consequently, it has applications in everyday use in, e.g., bleaches, glasses, detergents, abrasives, magnets, etc. Notably, the synthetic organic chemistry of boron is extensive, for example:
- Suzuki-Miyaura couplings are powerful C-C bond forming reactions vital in organic and medicinal chemistry;
- C-H activation chemistry combines atom economical borylations with a number of potential in situ modifications;
- Matteson homologations are essential for the synthesis of a number of chiral boron compounds, especially ones with good biological activity
not to mention, but not limited to, hydroborylation chemistry, Chan-Lam couplings, MIDA chemistry, Lewis Acid mediated reactions. Boron plays an increasingly important role in chemical biology, medicinal chemistry and in Nature, e.g., AI-2 and boromycin. One can think of sensors, boron neutron capture therapy and small-molecule boron-based drugs such as oxaboroles and Velcade, a marketed boronic acid, used for cancer therapy.
It is for these reasons that you are cordially invited to participate in this special edition dedicated to boron chemistry. Contributions in organic synthesis, sensors, medicinal, natural products, materials science and inorganic chemistry of boron are invited.
Dr. John Spencer
Guest Editor

Wait, that wasn't a good story? Isn't that how you remember it? Well, it has all the key components that you need to know. It has the who, the what and the how. It also has information on the results. So, what's missing?
Attitude is not about being aggressive or obnoxious. It is about being competent, taking a stand when you have the information and the facts, and not backing down. It sounds relatively simple, but it is difficult for HR practitioners when you have people all day long pressing you to move their agenda instead of doing what is best for your business and your people.
With the rise of the Internet and disruptive technologies that are now shaping and reshaping the world, big data has revolutionized the competitive world. No longer is data just for the academics and research institutions, but now sports teams, political campaigns, the government and businesses are all buying into the world of big data.

On Monday morning, after dropping Daddy off to the train station I noticed that something wasn't quite right with Big Boy. He wasn't his normal early morning self and with him having a higher than expected blood sugar I decided to keep him off School. It was a good call, he spent most of the day slobbed on the sofa cuddling into me and even the promise of a McDonalds didn't raise his spirits for long. We watched a Christmas movie together, which I was hoping would allow him to sleep a little so I could do a little tidying up, but the magic of the film had us both engrossed and there was no nap (or afternoon tidying session).
On the Tuesday morning I knew that Big Boy wouldn't be going to school. He'd been up most the night coughing and spluttering and generally feeling sorry for himself, and so had Top Ender. Both children were tired, feeling low and badly in need of a day where they could blow their noses, drink plenty of fluids and just rest. We did sneak up the City centre at one point during the day as I needed to collect a Christmas present that had been delivered to store, but for most of the day they were cuddled up on the sofa under a pile of blankets sipping a never ending supply of juice.
I'm a big Christmas Movie fan, I normally watch at least one a day in the run up to Christmas and have a rather large collection which I am always adding to, so come the afternoon, I suggested that maybe it was some time for some Christmas movie magic. It had worked the day before with Big Boy, who whilst cuddled with me on the sofa watching the film had forgotten that he was so poorly. Our lovely multi region DVD player came in handy, as I'd been sent some great DVD's that I didn't realise were Region 1 until I went to look up when they are available to buy here in the UK.
Am I odd in watching a Christmas movie a day in the run up to Christmas? Or do you have a habit which is much worse?! And I'm not the only one that thinks that Christmas movies are magic am I?
The DVD's were sent to us for review. They are available to buy on import at the minute, but you know they are great holiday films!

Boeing, Airbus are moving ahead with their new narrowbodies—in development work and orders
In just a few years, the Boeing 737 MAX and Airbus A320NEO will be the new standard aircraft in the narrowbody market. While Boeing is still making crucial design decisions, Airbus has begun parts production for the new type. Airbus achieved sales for more than 700 NEOs at last year's Paris air show, and has sold more than 1,400 in total, so Boeing was under pressure to respond at Farnborough a year later. However, it did not obtain the same mark in show orders in a generally more ...

They had no religious, or other background to make claim on the land, but Rothschild and the British knew about the oil and made sure they supported Rothschild in his claim for Israel. They never do anything for just one reason, so add it the fact that International Jewrys' influence in America was great and Britain needed America in the war.... so International Jewry cut a deal and the Belfour Declaration was the result. These conversations below give a flavor of what was going on at the time and who these people were. Very interesting if you are history buff, like I am. LOL
What was really fascinating to me was the video that shows the process the British went through to buy the Suez Canal. It was the emergency nature of the loan made by Rothschild whereby the British Gov was the "Security" which means, if he had to foreclose, he would have owned England. I am including the video in the vatic note just to show you how powerful Rothschild was in those days leading up to the obtaining of Palestine for his Khazars from Russia. As he said "Give me control of a nations currency and debt and I care not who makes the laws". Or something like that
Answer: "The British Government"
Rothschild: King of the "Jews" (and Israel to this day
by earthlinggb on August 12, 2010I discovered that but for the backing of Baron Edmond Rothschild the settlements of Russian Zionists established at Rison, Zikron and Rosh Pina would have failed and there would have been virtually no Jewish presence in Palestine.
This was a key part of Rothschild strategy to make it appear that Jews were already living in Palestine — a subterfuge that worked.
Hubert Herring in his book "And So To War" sums up the price the U.S. had to pay so that the Zionists might have Palestine:
"We paid for the war. We paid with the lives of 126,000 dead, of 234,300 mutilated and wounded.
We paid with the dislocated lives of hundreds of thousands whom the war wrenched from their accustomed places in a peaceful world.
We paid in the imponderable damage to our national morale through the lashings of war hysteria.
We paid with a period of economic confusion from which we have not yet escaped. The direct bill for the war reached the figure of fifty-five billions of dollars. The indirect bill can never be reckoned."
And what was the quid pro-quo from the Zionists side?
As far as I could ascertain it amounted to absolutely nothing. An interesting aside was the failure of Herzl to obtain the blessing of Pope Pius X for Jewish immigration to Palestine: We are unable to favor this movement. We cannot prevent the Jews from going to Jerusalem, but we could never sanction it. (VN: That explains the infiltration of the vatican by the khazars early on. I wondered about that. If the Vatican had been part of Rothschild's illum families early on, they would have taken the party line on Palestine, but did not. Religious considerations overrode political and greed consideration. I wondered why Hitler agreed to release all the Jews to anywhere "but Palestine" since Hitler was a pope worshipper.)
According to A History of Zionism, pages 129-130, the exchange took place at a meeting with the Pope in 1903, meaning that Lord Arthur Balfour knew that there was strong opposition from the Catholic Church against Zionist immigration to Palestine, long before he signed on to the declaration, but about which he informed no one. So the pattern of double-dealing was already apparent in 1903.
Catholic opposition to Israel may have contributed to the Rothschilds violent hatred of Russia with its large Christian population. (VN: If he is talking about the agreement during WW I between Britain and the Zionists, then it would make sense. The Brits were losing WW I big time and were about to get their tooshes handed to them by the Germans and they asked their zionist controlling bankers to help them in America to push Wilson into joining the war effort on their behalf. The Zionists made it clear they wanted Britain, in return for doing that, to push for an Israeli state in Palestine, AND they wanted that promise in writing. So, the deal with cut in early WW I period and sealed in WW II. I can understand why the Pope was against the entire mess. He knew full well, the Khazars hated Christians and that was proven out in 1917 Russian Revolution where Christians were slaughtered by the millions by the khazar barbarian paganists)
Herzl, the father of Zionism died when he was 44 years old. According to A History of Zionism, he never got on very well with the Rothschilds or with Orthodox Jewry whose leading rabbis did not like his autocratic style. Herzl always wanted to have the final say on everything.
There was, as Herzl's critics pointed out, very little specifically Jewish in Herzl. This emerges perhaps more clearly in his vision of the Jewish state…
"Herzl envisaged a modern, technologically advanced and enlightened state, enlightened by the Jews, but not specifically a Jewish state." (A History of Zionism, pages 132-133)
It can hardly be argued that Herzl was interested in Palestine as a religious "homeland" for the Jews, particularly in light of the fact, that the bulk of the new settlers came from Russia and had no previous connection to Palestine and there was no history of Russian Jews ever having lived there, nor were they particularly religious. (VN: Thats because the "Khazars of Russia" were really pagans and eventually Satanists and extremely secular compared to the real Jews.) Lacquer makes this abundantly plain.
Lord Chamberlain came forward with an offer to provide a "homeland" for the Jews
in Uganda, even though Uganda was not the British Government's land to give. Chamberlain told Herzl that he had been on a tour of Uganda and thought:
"Here is a land for Dr. Herzl, but of course he only wants Palestine or its neighborhood."
He was right.
Herzl brushed aside the idea. His fixation was with Palestine and nothing else would do. On May 30, 1903 he wrote Rothschild:
"I am not discouraged. I already have a very powerful man to help me." (A History of Zionism, Walter Laqueur, pages 122,123) This was the true autocratic style of Herzl in action.
Although I was not able to uncover any direct links between the Rothschilds and Sir Halford Mackinder, such as correspondence that passed between intermediaries hinting that the two did consult on a number of matters, especially in writing the blue print for the coming One World Government-New World Order which had been assigned to Mackinder to complete.
A protege of the London School of Economics which was a hotbed for Communist ideals, Mackinder nevertheless put up a good conservative front and is believed to have influenced
President Wilson at the Paris Peace Conference as to what steps were to be implemented to usher in a New World Order through a League of Nations mandate.
It is certain that the Rothschilds provided a great deal of input for the World Socialist dream. One month after Wilson arrived at the Paris Peace Conference, Mackinder's new book Democratic Ideals and Reality was published.
In his book Mackinder called for a New World Order (NWO) to be established in a One World Government, ostensibly The League of Nations. If this goal could not be achieved by peaceful, voluntary means, then force was to be resorted to. (VN: We covered that fully in the protocols. Its says it directly and clearly in those protocols, that violence was an option if not the preferred option.)
Mackinder admitted that while the New World Order would be ideally a democratic institution, it could never be expected that at times it would not be a dictatorship. The Zionists claimed that The League of Nations was their concept and this is referred to by Maria O'Grady in her book where she stated:
"President Wilson was surrounded by Jewish financial fraternity pushed hither and yon by the sinister Colonel House and counseled by the Zionist Brandeis." (Page 342)
The Zionists greatly favored the concept of a League of Nations and claimed it as their creation:
"The League is a Jewish idea," said Nahum Sokolow at the Carlsbad Conference. "We created it after a fight of 25 years."
Ultimate World Government dominated by Socialists is the long-held goal of Socialism, and it is well known that the concept was favored by the Rothschilds. As one of their own family, Jacob Schiff worked hard to establish a League of Nations.
It received a donation of 3,000 pounds from N.M. Rothschild of the London branch of the family. As we shall see there may have been an ulterior motive to this, as the League was to play a decisive role in granting a mandate for Palestine to the British Government, a decisive step along the road to granting "a Homeland" for the Jews in Palestine.
With that in mind I return to Lord Balfour and his so-called "Balfour Declaration," based on double-dealing, deception and secret deals behind the backs of Colonel Lawrence and the Arabs.
Balfour made haste to explain that a "Jewish Homeland" in Palestine did not mean the imposition of a Jewish state upon the inhabitants of Palestine, but in the light of subsequent events, this emerged as the goal of the Zionists. As Balfour put it:
". . . but the further development of the existing Jewish community, in order that they may become a center in which the Jewish people, as a whole, might take, on grounds of religion and race, interest and pride." (VN: We just did a blog on this issue. In fact, the Balfour Declaration was a result of Britain was in the process of losing WW I to Germany and needed America to come into the war. International Jewry, made a deal with Britain, if you sign a letter promising to give us Palestine, we will use our influence through our bankers to bring America into the war. That is exactly how the Belfour declaration came about. It was Bribery at its finest. It worked. America saved Britains' hindend.)
What Balfour left out was that nothing the British did or said could obscure the fact that Palestine was not theirs to give, nor did the British Government have the slightest right to secure a mandate for Palestine. But Balfour, backed by Lord Nathan Rothschild, pressed ahead anyway, as if the two men had an inherent right to act in the arbitrary manner which they saw fit.
The right of the Arab and other population groups, including Christians that extended back for more than 7,000 years was totally disregarded by Lord Balfour. No less an authority than Walter Laqueur, one of the foremost experts on Zionism confirmed that the bulk of the Jews who were to inhabit Palestine under the Balfour Declaration came from Russia.
They had no previous connection to Palestine. Laqueur also pointed out that Russian Jews were not overly happy about being uprooted from Russia and sent to Palestine:
"Russian Jewry was divided in its attitude toward Zionism and a Jewish national home (a religious homeland) and would not have in any case have been able to keep Russia in the war. The Allies on the other hand, to put it somewhat crudely, would have won the war even if no promise to the Zionists had been made."
What Laqueur was explaining, if somewhat obliquely, was the "deal" the Zionists had struck with Balfour, namely, that if the Zionists could bring the United States into the war on the side of the allies, the British would establish a Jewish Homeland in Palestine in return.
At a private meeting soon after the passage of the Balfour Declaration, when asked whether it had been his intention to make a bid for Jewish support in the war, Balfour snapped 'certainly not' and went on to explain that he felt that he was instrumental in righting a wrong of world historical dimensions.
In 1922 Balfour made a speech in which he said that the whole culture of Europe had been guilty of great crimes against the Jews, and Britain had taken the initiative in giving them the opportunity of developing in peace, the great gifts which they had, in the past been able to apply in countries of the Diaspora. (A History of Zionism, page 203)
Balfour did not explain why it was considered legal to give Palestine to the Jews when it belonged to a people who had been there for 7,000 years, especially as a big tract of land in Madagascar, as well as land in Uganda, had been offered and rejected without discussion.
Nor did Balfour explain that his magnanimous gesture in favor of the Jews would be at the expense of the Arab and other non-Jewish populations of Palestine. He never explained what connections the bulk of the new settlers, coming as they did from Russia had with Palestine.
According to Dr. Jacob de Haas, Balfour's altruistic protestations must be very much doubted because the real motive behind the Declaration was to get the United States to enter the war on the side of the Allies.
Confirmation of the true motives behind the Balfour Declaration came from another well-founded source, Congressional Record, April 25, 1939, pages 6597-6604, which reflects a speech made in the U.S. Senate by Senator Nye:
"There has been published in a series of works under the title "The Next War." One of the volumes in this series is entitled "Propaganda in the Next War." This particular volume was written by one Sydney Rogerson.
I have been unable to obtain any trace of his background; but the editor in chief of all of these works, including the one entitled "Propaganda in the Next War" is by a man whose name is recognized the world over as a authority in Great Britain. He is none other than Captain Liddell Hart, associated with the London Times, a writer and military authority in Europe.
I understand that this particular volume "Propaganda in the Next War," published last fall and placed in circulation, instead of having the circulation enlarged, now is suffering at the hands of those who desire to retire it from circulation. A few days ago I came on the floor of the Senate with the volume itself. I am sorry that I do not have it with me today.
I am told that it is the only copy of "Propaganda in the Next War" available in the United States. It can be had, I can borrow it again if there is any occasion for me to need it in the Senate, but it is no longer easy to obtain. I wish I had the entire work and that it could be read by every member of the Senate.
The following are quotations from Propaganda in the
Next War:
"From time to time the issue of which side the United States would take hung in the balance and the final result was a credit to our profaned machine. There remain the Jews. It has been estimated that of the world's population of 15,000,000 no fewer than 5,000,000 are in the United States; 25 percent of the population of New York are Jews.
During the Great War we bought off this huge Jewish public by the promise of a National Home in Palestine, held by Ludendorf to be a masterstroke of propaganda, as it enabled us not only to appeal to the Jews in America, but to the Jews in Germany as well."
George Armstrong in his work "The Rothschild Money Trust" explains how this came about:
