War on Saddam: Armchair Victims of Blanket War Coverage; Julie McCaffrey Looks at the Roller Coaster of Emotions We May Feel Watching the News Unfold
Byline: Julie McCaffrey
THE nation sits transfixed in front of television coverage of the military action in Iraq. And as we watch from the safety of our sofas we experience a roller coaster of emotions.
We watch in disbelief as Baghdad erupts in flashes of fire and clouds of black smoke. We are repelled by pictures of dead Iraqi soldiers slumped in a ditch and Iraqi civilians wailing at the sight of their crumpled city. We fear for the PoWs paraded on television, and are distressed and saddened by reports of Allied deaths.
Adding to our multitude of emotions is the excitement of frequent news flashes coupled with confusion about what's really happening - are we winning the war or struggling against the unpredictable pockets of Iraqi resistance?
Of course we've seen war before,but not like this. Advances in technology allow reporters to stand in the middle of the Iraqi desert and bring live pictures of the war into our sitting rooms.
But what effect is the blanket coverage having on its viewers?
Nick Baylif,a lecturer in positive psychology at the University of Cambridge,believes the effects of watching war coverage could vary dramatically from quiet understanding to dangerous and criminal thoughts.
He says: ``When you watch something on television there isn't so much a blanket response,but more a question of people bringing their individual personality to the material they are watching.
``It works in much the same way as two different people watching the same film - one enjoys it and the other one doesn't.If you see explicit war photographs and are a stable adult with a stable view of the world and your own values and concerns, you will incorporate the war coverage into the bigger picture and probably get on with your life.
``The danger is the effect highly emotive material can have on anxious adolescents or unstable adults - that's when the trouble starts. Pictures of British and American soldiers and tanks might make life seem to be pretty cheaply held in the desert and Baghdad. And that makes some people believe the world is out of control.
``I was in New York on September 11 and when you see buildings crash to the ground you do think the world is out of control. But I had a home to go to and friends who could help me, share my troubles and say: `we'll get over this'.
``But if I was a loner in a beds it with no friends and an unusual view of the world I might think differently. …

The upheaval over sexual harassment in the technology start-up industry mushroomed on Monday, with the resignation of a prominent Silicon Valley investor who said he had been "a creep" and more women saying they would come forward to talk about their experiences.
Dave McClure, the founder of the start-up incubator 500 Startups, said he was stepping down on Monday after The New York Times reported last week that he had come on to a woman who was applying for a job at his firm. Mr. McClure apologized for his behavior over the weekend, in a post titled "I'm a creep. I'm sorry." Another partner at 500 Startups, Elizabeth Yin, also resigned this weekend, saying that she was quitting after the firm had covered up a separate harassment episode by Mr. McClure.
Several other start-up investors have also issued mea culpas for not doing enough to prevent sexual harassment, with some around the world beginning to strategize over how to avert the episodes in the first place. The New England Venture Capital Association, a trade group, last week invited its members to sign an anti-discrimination and sexual harassment statement. In Australia, start-up entrepreneurs also issued a statement condemning the behavior.
And women entrepreneurs, emboldened by the support, have over the last few days become more willing to share their stories.
"Women are more empowered than ever to not tolerate these things," said Sarah Kunst, chief executive of the fitness start-up Proday, who was propositioned by Mr. McClure after he had begun talking with her about a possible role at 500 Startups. Ms. Kunst said there were now "countless discussions" among women about speaking publicly about their experiences and how to end the behavior.
The furor follows a string of revelations about how venture capitalists have mistreated women entrepreneurs over the years, an issue that was in the past largely swept under the carpet. The disclosures gained momentum after the implosion last month of a small venture firm, Binary Capital, whose partner, Justin Caldbeck, apologized to women after several spoke on the record about his behavior. The Times also spoke to more than two dozen female entrepreneurs who described unwanted advances, touching and sexist comments by investors.
For years, the start-up and venture capital industry — which is predominantly male — has been immune to criticism about its behavior because the industry has created immense wealth by churning out hit companies, such as Facebook, Snap and Uber. The backlash now suggests that those successes are no longer enough to excuse the anything-goes conduct of some investors and entrepreneurs.
With more women willing to speak openly about harassment and discrimination, Kate Mitchell, a founder of a Silicon Valley venture firm, Scale Venture Partners, said the industry was facing "a tipping point."
"The fact this behavior is pervasive and what we know seems to be the tip of the iceberg has made us understand the difficulty and reality of our challenge," Ms. Mitchell said. "Actions need to be more aggressive and more all encompassing than what I previously thought."
But even as the movement to grapple with harassment gathers momentum, some venture capital firms are privately grumbling about having to deal with the issue, said some investors.
"Some men have the feeling that the conversation has turned into a witch hunt," said Aileen Lee, a founder of Cowboy Ventures. "They're asking when people will stop being outed."
That attitude belies a lack of understanding about the issue, said some entrepreneurs. Even though "we've accepted why it's so important for a boss to not hit on someone who reports to him, many people still don't understand that those same power dynamics play out when founders seek to network or raise money," said Kathryn Minshew, the founder of the Muse, a company that helps millennials find jobs.
A few years ago, Ms. Minshew told Wired about how she had been treated in the start-up ecosystem. Over the last week, she also told The Times that she had been harassed by male investors — whom she did not name — on multiple occasions.
In one instance, she met an investor at a conference and set up a time to discuss her company. That day, the investor's assistant said he needed to move the meeting to the evening. At the meeting, he got very close to Ms. Minshew and put his arm around her. In another instance, an investor suggested the two sleep together after his firm had signed an agreement to invest in Ms. Minshew's company, but before the cash was in the bank. She was unable to accept his money after that episode, which jeopardized her ability to fund her company.
"It feels like the industry's acceptance and tolerance of this behavior is changing," Ms. Minshew said. "I really appreciate how people in the industry are standing up and saying no, this isn't O.K."
At 500 Startups, Mr. McClure's resignation was spurred not only by Ms. Kunst's coming forward, but by a separate internal report this April that said he had sexually assaulted an employee, according to a resignation letter by Ms. Yin, the 500 Startups' partner who stepped down over the weekend. Her letter was obtained by The Times.
The sexual assault claim moved 500 Startups' management to remove Mr. McClure from day-to-day operations of the firm in May, according to Ms. Yin's letter. But employees were told the change happened because of growth issues, according to the letter. Mr. McClure continued to be active in the company's Slack channels, weighing in on firm decisions, according to screenshots of the conversations that were reviewed by The Times.
After The Times reported on Mr. McClure last week, he wrote on the 500 Startups' Slack channels that he had "not assaulted anyone (that I'm aware of)." Aman Verjee, the chief operating officer of 500 Startups, also told colleagues and employees that there had been "no formal finding of harassment" and "no legal complaint against 500 or Dave."
Investors in 500 Startups were not alerted to the change in management at the incubator until after The Times published the information on Mr. McClure and Ms. Kunst, according to Brad Feld, an investor in 500 Startups. The firm also said on Friday in an email to investors, which was obtained by The Times, that Mr. McClure "will continue to be a significant contributor to the future success of 500."
On Saturday, Mr. McClure posted his public apology. "My behavior was inexcusable and wrong," he wrote.
But that day, the firm's leaders held a heated phone conversation, in which Mr. McClure admitted to initiating unwanted physical contact with the unidentified employee, according to Ms. Yin's letter.
Ms. Yin declined to comment. Mr. McClure did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Axios earlier reported Ms. Yin's letter.
In a statement on Monday, 500 Startups said that it learned of "allegations related to inappropriate behavior by Dave McClure" in April, and that it immediately began an internal investigation, which led to Mr. McClure's stepping back from responsibilities. "Due to the sensitivity of personnel issues and the privacy of all involved, the investigation was kept confidential," the firm said.
In her letter, Ms. Yin wrote, "I cannot support the lack of transparency and propagation of misinformation at the management level at this company."
More revelations emerged against Mr. McClure on Monday. Cheryl Yeoh, an entrepreneur in Malaysia, posted online about being propositioned by Mr. McClure in 2011 and assaulted in 2014.
"If someone uses their power as a VC to make repeated sexual, physical advances on women in a professional context, that goes way beyond being a creep," she wrote.
In response, 500 Startups said, "We appreciate Cheryl speaking up and realize how upsetting and painful it is for her to have gone through that experience and have the courage to speak up."


text: Contributed by United Italian Trading Corporation Pte Ltd Singapore As the menopausal years approach, anxiety and fears of the physical and psychological transition may begin to stir in not only women, but men as well. Yet andropause, otherwise known as male menopause, and female menopause are natural events, not illnesses to be feared. Menopause may bring about some undesirable changes and mark the end of fertility for men and women in their 40s or 50s, but it certainly does not mark the end of a healthy, active and enjoyable life. Rather than quietly sinking into the menopausal years with energy levels dipping and lower resistance to viruses, men and women can still slow down the ravages of aging and manage menopause with certain treatments and self-care. Menopause for both men and women is a turning point that can lead to the best years of one's life or a time where some may even find their second bloom of youth. Understanding Menopause Female menopause is a natural biological process that begins when the body starts producing fewer hormones, namely estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. When the supply of eggs from a woman's ovaries is completely depleted and hormones are hardly produced, a woman will experience menopause with the cessation of her menstrual period. This transition usually occurs between the ages of 40 and 55 but may vary with different women. The signs and symptoms of menopause are also likely to vary with every individual. While some may mildly experience a few symptoms, others may experience physical changes like irregular menstrual periods, decreased fertility, urinary changes such as incontinence, vaginal tract changes where the vagina becomes drier and more vulnerable to infection, hot flashes, sleep disturbances and night sweats. Changes in appearance such as weight gain, thinning hair, and wrinkles may also occur during menopause. As a result of hormonal changes and factors like sleep deprivation and stress, some women may also experience emotional changes, which include irritability, fatigue, decreased memory, and diminished concentration. The Truth about Andropause Andropause or male menopause is a distinct physiological phenomenon that is in many ways similar to, yet in certain ways different from female menopause. A condition that occurs in all men generally between the ages of 40 and 55 (though it can occur as early as 35 or as late as 65), andropause was first termed to describe a decline in levels of the male hormone, testosterone. The free (active) testosterone levels decline as the hormone tends to bind to certain proteins in men and women as they age. As free testosterone and the substance it manufactures within the body, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), are responsible for the sex drive, as well as youth and energy, a drop in free testosterone levels can therefore lead to a lack of sexual desire, a decline in energy levels, aging, lower resistance to infections, poor memory and an unmotivated state of mind. Like menopause in women, andropause therefore begins with hormonal and physiological changes, which include degenerating sense of well-being, delayed healing of wounds and recovery from injury, lack of energy, reduced endurance for physical activity, weight-gain, poorer eye-sight, loss or thinning of hair, sleep disturbances, as well as urinary changes such as frequent urination, difficulty in urinating and urinary incontinence. With the decline of free testosterone, andropausal men may also experience sexual changes like loss of sexual desire (libido) and potency, ejaculatory problems and reduced fertility. Like menopausal women, men suffering from andropause also experience psychological changes such as mood swings, irritability, indecisiveness, anxiety, depression, loss of self confidence and concentration, poor memory, and loneliness. While male and female menopause is often associated with hormonal, physical, and psychological changes, it certainly is not the end of a man or woman's youth or sexuality especially when managed with the proper self-care and treatments available today. How to manage menopausal times The undesirable symptoms of andropause and menopause can be relieved with treatments like hormone therapy. Testosterone Replacement Therapy, which basically replenishes the body with testosterone, is available for men, while women may relief hot flashes and vaginal discomforts with Estrogen Therapy. However, results from recent clinical studies have suggested that the benefits of the hormone therapies may be outweighed by risks such as heart attack, stroke and even cancer. Depending on one's personal and family medical history, it is best to consult a doctor to ascertain whether hormone therapy is the ideal option to relief symptoms of menopause. Alternatively, both men and women can relieve symptoms of menopause and aging naturally by releasing their body's own bounded testosterone with a special strain of green oats, as clinical studies conducted in Singapore, Europe and USA have concluded. Unlike hormone replacement therapies which have side effects, green oats has been clinically proven to effectively relief andropause and menopause safely and without negative side effects or any interactions with medications. By releasing the body's own free testosterone that is responsible for improving sexual health, increasing energy levels, slowing down the aging process, and promoting a more positive mind set, Green oats can therefore help menopausal men and women reap the benefits of the youth hormone already present in their bodies. Health supplements containing the flowering plant, Stinging Nettle, have also been used to help relief menopause by inducing positive effects on hormones and certain proteins. Menopausal individuals are also encouraged to take supplements containing powerful anti-oxidants such as the Sea Buckthorn fruit. Both sexes can also reduce or prevent the undesirable effects of menopause by taking simple steps like eating a well-balanced diet, exercising regularly, staying smoke free, controlling stress, optimizing sleep with relaxation exercises, doing pelvic floor muscle exercises to improve urinary incontinence, and going for regular check-ups. By taking the right steps, men and women can easily manage menopause and fight the ravages of time without letting the undesirable symptoms affect their quality of life. After all, one should enjoy life at its prime. UITC is giving away 5 packs of Swissoat for HIM.* Click on this link to sign up: bit.ly/1UxJiGQ *Swissoats A111® FOR HER has been fully redeemed.

Poll: Majority of Israeli Arabs Don't Like Representation in Knesset
by JNS.org
A new poll by Israeli professor Avi Degani revealed that about 61 percent of Israel's Arab population believes Arab Members of Knesset do not represent them well, Israel National News reported.
In the poll for Arabs ages 30-55—which asked respondents if they thought heads of Arab parties in the Knesset "represent the interests of the Arab sector in Israel well or badly"—31.4 percent answered "very badly" or "badly" and 30.4 percent answered "so-so."
In June, Member of Knesset Ahmed Tibi—leader of the Israeli-Arab Ta'al party— called the decision to name a space center after late Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon "distasteful" because Ramon attacked civilians in Lebanon and took part in Israel's attack on Iraq's nuclear reactor as an Israeli Air Force pilot. Ramon, the first and only Israeli astronaut, died with six other crew members during NASA's fatal 2003 Columbia mission.

Again, insanely busy, which is normal ... my January is like all my other Januarys in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 blah blah blah.
Lately though I've been excited (yay) and then there's one little hitch so I have to "rut roh" and eat a crow drumstick. This menopause thing is getting to me; I used to have a mind like a steel trap. Now it seems to work like a Venus fly trap.
A couple days ago I found a dollar bill, yesterday a wheat penny.
Tax paperwork is trickling in - I have to double check, but I seem to only be missing a couple of Div 1099s. Get those, and I can see what the lay of the land is.
But another yay this evening. DH and I have plans to go to Argentina in September. At least that is the plan. Several other couples are involved - the plan is to rent a house in Buenos Aires and use it as a launch pad. Fingers crossed that it works out.
yay to rut roh to yay

January 27th, 2012 at 12:47 pm 1327668429Don't know how you feel about taking them but I've read that missing/declining hormones can cause memory problems. If you aren't inclined to take hormones - Eat your gingko!
And Argentina? OhHHH WOWSER & Congrats on getting to go - hoping this works out for you!!!
January 27th, 2012 at 04:22 pm 1327681359I've had the memory loss, too. And the loss of words when I need them. It really does feel scary, because you don't know how far it might go. But, I think after some years it has not only leveled off, but improved. I've had to develop more daily reflexive habits, make lists and notes to myself, and ask people outright to remind me to do things I said I'd do.
March 6th, 2012 at 01:56 pm 1331042178wow Argentina! This is really great! Let's keep fingers crossed!

Home Decor, Falling at the Beach
This has been a busy week with guests, but I did have a chance to get a little fall in the air before they arrived
Look closely inside the rim of the blue pot
this little tree frog was ready to greet our guests too…
I hope he's around for Halloween!
I tucked a few faux pumpkins around the framed photos on the shelves
A lantern and a large hurricane are filled with straw orbs
A fall magazine issue arrived to perfectly match my color scheme and pumpkin pillows
Thank you Martha Stewart, how did you know?
This corner vignette hides ugly cords and plugs
The dining table is full of fat pumpkins and accented with tall grasses
A tall tiered tray holds fishing & football watching snacks with coastal and fall touches
It's part of a Fall Hospitality Buffet
Juicy Details
I found this raw wood palette piece at Walmart and quickly realized how rough the surface was when I began painting it
I decided to modify my original design, see the PicMonkey created design below, into a 2 pumpkin stack with abstract leaves because the wood was too rough for smooth lines and details
The black patch is painted with chalkboard paint and lettered with a chalk ink pen so I can easily change the message
tall glass bottle/Home Goods
lantern fill, faux pumpkins/Old Time Pottery
stripped pumpkin, football ornaments, metal owl/Hobby Lobby

Jenna, fall has definitely arrived at your beach house! I love the mix of pumpkins and shells. You are definitely in the autumn spirit… beautifully done! Roll Tide Roll!! That was a nail biter game! Happy Sunday
I just love your coastal home, Jenna, and it's amazing how you change it into the different seasons, yet keep the flavor of life on the beach! Your guests are certainly fortunate to have you as a hostess: you've thought of everything. Enjoy your company. P.S. It's a good thing I'm not visiting, or that darling metal owl would be making a trip home with me in my bag! Rosie @ The Magic Hutch
Sorry……that should read, "of the beach" ! R.
Everything looks great! I just wish it ~felt~ a little more fall like here:@)
Hello Jenna and happy fall! I love your pretty fall decorations inside and outside of your house. I really love that fall sign you painted! Thanks for sharing at Cooking and Crafting with J & J.
Enjoy the week.
Julie xo
Jenna, love how you so easily add fall to your coastal decor. This looks like turning pages of a magazine. What a great idea to add the little pumpkin sign by the door and the photo of the table arrangement with it's background is stunning………….
I absolutely LOVE the orange and blue combination. You've done it perfectly here. Everything looks marvelous, I particularly like your filled lantern.
Everything looks fabulous. Especially love the painted sign. Thanks for sharing.
You are so talented, Jenna. Love your fall sign you painted on the front porch.
Wow, your mosaic with the pretty leaf plates, handpainted fall glasses and tiered tray with Mr. Owl looks great. I like how you paired orange with aqua.
Hate to miss the autumn tablescape blog hop.
This just goes to prove that you can decorate for fall anywhere! I've been so hesitant because it has been almost 100 degrees here. They say it's falling drastically next week so I'm pretty pumped. I'd love to paint a pumpkin like this. 🙂
Thank you for always being such an inspiration!
Hello fall indeed I love this! Thanks for sharing with us this week at Celebrate Your Story.

The EU alone spends more than €40 billion every year on flood mitigation, recovery and compensation, while 75% of all damage occurs in urban areas. "With climate change and increasing urbanisation, there is a higher risk of loss of life and damage," says coordinator of the FloodProBE project, Derk van Ree of Deltares in the Netherlands.
The project developed the technologies, methods and tools for flood risk assessment, and for the adaptation of new and existing buildings, critical infrastructure and flood defences. The results will help decision-makers implement the EU directive on flood control and prevention, which requires all EU countries to assess and reduce the risk of flooding.
Understanding failure
Most of the regions at risk of flooding already have some defences in place, but they are sometimes very old and in need of repair and upgrading. Understanding how these defences could fail allows authorities to better assess the risks and to start improving them, but collecting data from thousands of kilometres of defences is no mean feat.
The team found techniques such as high-density LIDAR – a remote sensing technology that measures distance by illuminating a target with a laser and then analysing the reflected light – to be effective for assessing long stretches of flood defence.
The FloodProBE team also looked at the full impact of flooding, which goes way beyond the area under water. If an electricity plant is flooded, for example, this could affect people and services – some of them critical – many kilometres away. These consequential effects can be costly for communities, impacting humans and finances.
Accepting risk, minimising damage
Where space is limited, particularly in urban areas, it is not always possible to build new defences. But town planners need not despair – it is possible to minimise damage and disruption. "It's not only about defence, but also about accepting that there will be water and looking at how to recover quickly," says van Ree.
Using tools developed within FloodProBE, it is possible to calculate the potential cost of flood damage to buildings. The result can be given as a percentage of the cost of building a new, more flood-resistant building. The calculations take into consideration that the building would be out of action for some time, and that some materials may have to be replaced.
These simulations can help public authorities to decide whether it's best to build a new building, or to change something in an existing structure – for example the materials used for the flood-vulnerable areas of a building.
The analysis tool can be used anywhere – the building expert just needs data on local materials and costs.
Erosion-evading enzymes
One secret weapon in the fight against flooding, tested within FloodProBE, is BioGrout. This soil-strengthening technique uses microbes to create a chemical reaction to enhance the solidification of calcite (a mineral found in soil) to make the ground harder.
The strength can be altered as desired, but ultimately it can turn loose sand into sandstone, which is more resistant to flood-water-induced erosion. It is particularly helpful in avoiding internal erosion through embankments, which can weaken flood defences.
The team found BioGrout to be effective, but in need of further development.
FloodProBE ended in October 2013 with comprehensive advice for decision-makers on aspects of flood risk. This ranges from how to assess whether certain technologies can be used to reinforce flood defences, to the importance of considering transitions between flood defence structures, which are often ignored, says van Ree.
Van Ree would also like to see decision-makers referring to the FloodProBE guidance early on in discussions on where and how certain buildings will be built. For example, it is clear that if the risk is low, flooding will not be taken into account when deciding where to build a new hospital. Equally, it makes little sense to redesign an existing hospital to address a low risk. "We need to find a way to include flood risk in the list of topics assessed before decisions on building design are taken," says van Ree.
Additional work is still needed to implement all of these recommendations, but in the meantime several EU countries are looking into how best to ensure the knowledge gained through FloodProBE is used.
One option could be the creation of a network of flood risk management experts to share good practice and collaborate on new and evolving solutions. The team has already submitted a proposal for funding under Horizon 2020.
"A kick-start is needed. The community should ultimately be self-sustaining, but it needs a catalyst to define the structure and priority topics," says van Ree.

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_Programming#Practices
Extreme Programming (or XP) is a software engineering methodology (and a form of agile software development)[1][2][3] prescribing a set of daily stakeholder practices that embody and encourage particular XP values (below). Proponents believe that exercising these practices—traditional software engineering practices taken to so-called "extreme" levels—leads to a development process that is more responsive to customer needs ("agile") than traditional methods, while creating software of better quality.[2][3][4]
Proponents of Extreme Programming and agile methodologies in general regard ongoing changes to requirements as a natural, inescapable and desirable aspect of software development projects; they believe that adaptability to changing requirements at any point during the project life is a more realistic and better approach than attempting to define all requirements at the beginning of a project and then expending effort to control changes to the requirements.

I went on a little adventure today as I was driving to return some hats back to a fab lady . I could have choosen the main road , it would have been the sensible choice considering the road conditions at the moment but then I would have missed all this.
I saw this old truck in the summer and I thought it would make a great background for a photoshoot. Imagine a whole load of kids playing on the truck and waving their arms about. Then I drove past it today and it looks just great with all the snow on it. I love that padded layer that the snow gives all the shapes.
I kept stopping to take photos because everything looked so good but then everytime I started the car again it was just spinning around in the snow and I was really out in nowhere.. Then three deers jumped out in front of the car and it got really exciting for a while. Drove past the lake that we swam in when it was a heatwave this summer. Today it looked like Siberia. It was great to be back at home after that little excursion.

Filmax has taken the rights to Alfredo Montero's Spanish thriller In Darkness We Fall. That's the sales poster you see to the right.
Montero directed the film based on the script he co-penned with Javier Gullon (The King of the Hill).
In Darkness We Fall – which blends traditional filmmaking and "found footage" – concerns five friends looking forward to the holiday of their lives in an idyllic location.
On their second day on the island, the friends discover a hidden cave nestled into the side of a cliff and decide to go in and explore it. Filled with excitement and adrenalin, the friends start to make their way through the countless passageways that make up the cave. Before long, they realize they are lost.

On January 8, 1940, Finland puts the Soviet Union to shame when a Finnish force destroys the Russian 44th Assault Division, which ends the Battle of Suomussalami in the Winter War beginning the previous year in November over a border dispute. Stalin has more than 82,000 of Poland's former policeman and soldiers imprisoned in camps between the months of February and March; in a clever attempt of Stalin to locate their families, prisoners are allowed to write letters to loved ones back home. The Katyn Massacre is signed by Stalin on March 5th ordering the execution of all captive members of the Polish Officer Corps, later to include the round-up of all family members of those captured as well. The Winter War comes to an end the 12th of March with the signing of a peace treaty in Moscow between the Soviet Union and Finland. On April 17th Polish gypsies are sterilized and sent to concentration camps and forced to work in Germany's arms industry. German-occupied Oslo, Norway is bombed by Britain on April 22nd. On the 25th, Germany issues its final warning to Britain to stop its aerial warfare; and the United States has moved its naval base of Pacific Ocean fleet from San Diego, California to Pearl Harbor in Hawaii on May 1st, closely directed at Japan, a move to which Japan's Admiral describes as: "tantamount to a dagger pointed at our throat." Winston Churchill becomes Prime Minister on May 10th and Britain invades Iceland, while Hitler sends an army of troops into Belgium and Holland. Within five days, British bombers fly night raids against German cities.
On June 5th Hitler sends his army into France, by the 10th he drives British forces out of Norway and Italy declares war on Britain and France. Prime Minister Paul Reynaud refuses to sign a peace treaty with Hitler and resigns, a treaty is signed between Germany and France with France's new Minister, General Philippe Petain on June 22nd, followed by a peace treaty between France and Italy two days later. On July 3rd a French fleet anchored in the Algerian ports of Oran and Mers-el-Kebir refuses an invite to join the British navy, so Britain sinks it; resulting the next day in France breaking diplomatic ties with Britain. On July 25th, US President Roosevelt mandates a partial trade embargo against Japan of aviation fuel, lubricates and high-grade scrap metal. After outlining a peace agreement with Britain just three weeks prior, Hitler begins to send a flotilla of airplanes against Britain, targeting fighter-plane air bases and radar stations on the 8th of August. The threat to demolish British cities by Hitler if Britain does not stop its bombing runs on Germany is followed up with dropped plans for a cross-channel invasion of Britain on the 16th of September when Hitler fails to destroy Britain's air power. Hostility grows in the US against Japan after its parliament declares a holy war against China; and on September 26th the United States imposes a total embargo on all scrap metal shipments to Japan. Primarily aimed against the United States, Germany, Italy and Japan signs an agreement: The Tripartite Pact on September 27th, which propels Japan's declaration of war against the United States of America. A little more than two-weeks later on October 16th, US President Roosevelt opens registration for the draft of American men called to war. Mussolini invades Greece without warning on the 28th of October, forcing Britain to send a naval force against the Italians. On November 10th, the US New York Times reports that ten-thousand Jews have been deported from Germany into France, in preparation of sending them to Madagascar. Five hundred German aircrafts raid the city of Coventry in England for ten hours on the 14th of November, followed by a two-day bombing of the German city of Hamburg by more than 200 British aircrafts on November 16th. A British offense is initiated against Italy in North Africa on December 9th and its forces enters the Italian colony of Libya four days later. When the French request help from the United States on December 21st with Jewish emigration, the administration of President Roosevelt refuses to help. After the German air force bombs the city of London, the British government lifts censorship for US reporters on the 30th of December in hopes of encouraging a United States entry into the war. Meanwhile, on the 31st it is reported that spending is lifting the US out of the depression and millions are headed to work in what is called the defense industry.
Between the 22nd and 23rd of January 1941, Romanian Jews are hunted like prey by a pack of armed wild dogs during an anti-Jewish violence raid in Romania, leaving 120 dead in the streets. On January 27th, Joseph Grew, US Ambassador to Japan, notifies the US State Department of the discovery of Japan's plans to attack Pearl Harbor in the event of a Japanese/American war. In British victories over Italy, the Brits take Somalia and invade Ethiopia on the 26th of February. Britain severs relationship with Bulgaria between the 1st and 5th of March after Bulgaria joins the German-Italian-Hungarian-Romanian alliance, being promised most of Thrace and Macedonia, and the eastern part of Serbia; Bulgarians set out a welcome mat for German troops and the move is denounced by The Soviet Union. When Hitler invites Yugoslavia's Prince Paul to bid his share in the "New World Order" on March 4th, the presumption of a German invasion of The Soviet Union prompts Prince Paul to inform the King of Greece, who is brother-in-law who then informs the British; three days later, five-thousand British soldiers land in Greece. The Lend Lease Act was signed into law by US President Roosevelt on the 11th of March, enabling the United States of America to send war materials and ships to those European nations who are at war. With the slogan "Rather death than slavery," a coup in Belgrade establishes a powerful regime hostile to Germany and Italy on the 26th of March, a day after Yugoslavia's government joins the German-Italian-Hungarian-Romanian alliance. After Gillani, the former prime minister of Iraq, promises Iraqi oil to the Germans, the royal palace in Baghdad is surrounded by Iraqi soldiers forcing royalty to flee and escape on April 1st; the area is still occupied by a couple hundred of British troops. Two days later, Gillani takes power in Baghdad with the help of four army generals; Jews are beaten in the cities of Amara, Basrah, Fallujah, Irbil, Kirkuk and Mosul and murdered in Baghdad. On the 4th of April, US President Roosevelt extends the United States defense zone eastward to Iceland and westward to the coast of Africa; and allows Britain's Navy to repair and refuel its ships in the United States. The Soviet Union signs a treaty of friendship on April 5th with the new anti-fascist regime in Yugoslavia, despite having a pact with Hitler. A day later, Hitler sends troops into Greece and Yugoslavia; Albanian and Italian forces join the invasion of Yugoslavia; Bulgaria joins the invasion of Greece and German planes bomb Belgrade. British occupation of Egypt warns on the 14th of April if Cairo is bombed, the British air force will attack Rome. May 10th the House of Commons in London is destroyed by German planes and a German air strike begins against the British in Iraq. Three-Thousand six hundred Jews are arrested in Paris, France on the 14th of May; while hundreds of Orthodox Serbs in Croatia are slaughtered for not producing certificates of conversion to Catholicism after being obligated to attend a thanksgiving service to show gratitude for the fascist state of Croatia. The British war in East Africa comes to an end with the surrender of Italy on May 20th.
June 1-2, a handful of Moslems open their homes to feed and protect Jews when violence erupts against them in Iraq after British forces enters Baghdad and reinstates King Faisal's regent. The Republic of Croatia orders all Jews to wear a star, and Germany bombs the port at Alexandria, Egypt, causing Egypt's cabinet to resign on June 4th. Syria is offered independence from the Brits after the British and the Free French attack French forces in Syria on the 8th of June. The beginning of what is to become known as "The United Nations" is forged June 12th when a declaration of unity and sense of purpose is signed in London by Britain, Canada, New Zealand, the Union of South Africa and the exiled governments of Belgium, Poland, Yugoslavia, Greece, Norway, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Czechoslovakia and Charles de Gaulle for a Free France. The Soviet Union begins to deport people to Siberia on the 14th of June: 18,000 from Lithuania, 10,000 from Estonia and 15,000 from Latvia. June 22nd, upon seeing a Soviet Union invasion as an expansion of Germanic superiority over the weak and inferior Slavs, Hitler launches a massive military operation against the Soviet Union and occupies Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia. Two days later, the entire Jewish male population in Gorzhdy, Lithuania is annihilated; and US President Roosevelt in The Great Patriot War pledges support to the Soviet Union. July 14th, six-thousand more Lithuanian Jews are annihilated. The Majdanek concentration camp opens in Poland on the 21st of July. Japanese assets are frozen in the United States on July 25th. Thousands of Romanian Jews are captured and/or murdered between the 5th & 7th of August. The "Atlantic Charter" is created by British Prime Minister Churchill and US President Roosevelt in Newfoundland on August 14th expressing "the right of all peoples to choose the form of government under which they will live." On September 1st, widespread protest led by a Catholic Bishop has brought an end to Germany's governmental euthanasian program of the killing of mentally handicapped adults and children. Poison gas tests are conducted at a facility in Poland on September 3rd by Germany which led to the poisoning deaths of six hundred Soviet prisoners of war. Japan's Emperor Hirohito on September 6th approves efforts to negotiate peace with the United States and prepare for an attack if efforts fail. September 11th, as a result of submarine attacks on US ships, President Roosevelt orders any German ship found in American waters to be sunk on sight. All Jews in the Ukraine capital city of Kiev and its vicinity are ordered by Germany to report to a specific location the next morning and to bring documents, warm clothes, underwear, money and valuables; tens of thousands of Jews arrive on September 29th expecting to be deported, but instead are herded into a Jewish cemetery through a corridor of enraged German soldiers and machined gunned to death and buried in Babi Yar, a ravine. US Congressional approval is sought by President Roosevelt on the 9th of October to arm US merchant ships. October 16th, German Jews are deported to Jewish ghettos in Riga, Minsk and Lodz. Roughly 34,000 of the 180,000 Jewish population in Odessa, Ukraine are targeted by Romanian troops between the 22nd & 23rd of October and are shot or burned alive to death in a public square or by being locked in warehouses that was set on fire. November 28th, warships of a Japanese fleet leaving from Hiroshima Bay head towards the Hawaiian Islands. The Ruling Council of Japan and Emperor Hirohito signs an agreement to wage war against The United States, the Netherlands and Britain on December 1st. As an exhausted and ill prepared for the winter months German troops reach Moscow, they are disintegrated, and thousands taken as prisoners by The Soviet Union on the 6th of December. Meanwhile, two Hawaiian officers disagree with Admiral Kimmel to send the entire fleet out to sea in silence after dark; the next day on December 7th, US military installations at Pearl Harbor and Kaneohe Bay on the island of Oahu are attacked by Japan and most US aircrafts on the ground are destroyed after the Japanese bomb the US military at Clark Field in the Philippians. December 11th, Germany and Italy join ally Japan and declare war against the United States of America, followed two days later by Bulgaria and Hungary.

The 45-year-old actor's comments follow Hrithik Roshan's discharge from hospital after an on-set accident. Kumar told Hindustan Times: "When we hire a stunt team from abroad, we realise our safety measures aren't up to international standards. I always check my harness before I do a stunt; I test-drive the cars I have to race or explode; I'm present at all pyrotechnical rehearsals; and I walk through everything step-by-step. "Of course I fear for my safety, but the trick is to never let fear control you. Your adrenaline helps keep you alive and stops you from making potentially life-threatening mistakes
The day I take either my body or my work for granted will be the day you hear that I've smashed every inch of myself to pieces. In nearly 25 years of doing stunts, I made my first real mistake recently. I've never felt more ashamed. "Always think twice before you decide to do anything for a film. It may seem like a career-changing idea, but think of your family and your future before doing anything risky. Train properly, because looking strong and being strong are two different things." Kumar will reportedly be working with Skyfall stunt coordinator Greg Powell on his next film. The Rowdy Rathore star has said that he is pleased to be returning to action films following a series of successful comedies.


text: Ambrose O'Callaghan - Friday, October 27, 2017 A Dividend Stock to Own As the Population Ages Like many other developed nations Canada's population is aging rapidly. For the first time in Canada's history seniors made up a bigger proportion of the population than children in a 2016 census. By 2031, Statistics Canada projects that 1 in 4 Canadian will be over the age of 65. These trends have catapulted healthcare, pharmaceutical, and supplement stocks. However, today we are going to look at Sienna Senior Living Inc. (TSX:SIA). Sienna Senior Living owns and operates long-term care homes, retirement homes, and independent living facilities. It also provides care workers for these facilities. The company released its second quarter results on August 9. Same property net operating income was up 10.1% to $6.8 million compared to Q2 2016. Retirement occupancy and private occupancy was up 2% and 1% respectively from the previous year. Shares of Sienna Living were up 1.29% in mid-afternoon trading on October 27. The stock has increased 10.3% in 2017 and 11% year over year. Sienna Senior Living also boasts a dividend of $0.08 per share representing a 5% dividend yield. So it is an attractive income generator for investors as well. Ignoring its good dividend this is a stock that has a great long-term outlook. Investors can catch the beginning of an aging trend that will continue over the next several decades and the services of this company should remain in high demand. Buy and hold this one for the long haul.
