A House Divided — Money of the Civil War
A war like no other
The Civil War was a pivotal period in American history. Politics, society, economics and the military were all changed in drastic ways as the nation was locked in an epic struggle never seen in North America, before or since. The war ended slavery in the United States, but not before countless battles led to the deaths of more than 600,000 men. Amid brilliant and incompetent generals, vast military campaigns and political turmoil, the impactof money on the war often gets overlooked.
The numismatic history of the era is as dramatic as the war itself. The nation moved from a laissez-faire monetary system based on bullion coinage andprivately-issued paper currency to a centrally controlled system based on paper money issued by National Banks and supplemented by Federal paper currency and coinage.
Both South and North were forced to issue huge amounts of paper money to pay for the war - the first mass issues of government-backed currency in the U.S. since the war of 1812. This paper money was not backed by gold or silver - a fragile concept in the 1860s. Union "greenbacks" (Legal Tender notes and Demand notes, printed with green ink on one side) were instead backed by bonds; an investor could purchase bonds with greenbacks, and then redeem the bonds for gold. The emergence of "war bonds" helped create a more solid economy for the Union; similar bonds were used by the U.S. to control inflation again during both world wars.
For the Confederate States, the problem was more acute than it was in the North - none of the States rich in gold or silver had joined the Confederacy, and the banking system in the South was underdeveloped. The South's economy was almost exclusively based on agriculture, leaving the Confederacy dependent on trade to obtain the goods it needed to fight. As the conflict progressed, inflation ran rampant in the South and made it all but impossible to continue the war effort.
Civil War soldiers were supposed to be paid every two months, but were fortunate if they got their pay at four-month intervals. Payment in the Confederate Army was even slower and less regular. Union privates were paid $13 per month at the start of the war.
The North and South addressed financial difficulties to fight a war that would turn out to be longer and bloodier than anyone could have imagined. New technologies had changed the face of war, not only with deadlier weapons, but with improved communications, supply, and transport.
About the exhibit
The North had industry and railroads. The South had great generals. So what decided the Civil War? MONEY.
"A House Divided: Money of the Civil War" takes a unique look at this epic, bloody time while showcasing the era's coins, paper money, medals, and new ideas in war financing that helped lead to the North's victory.
Ever wondered what life was like for a soldier on the battlefield at Gettysburg? Or imagine yourself as a General, out-maneuvering your opponent with thousands of troops under your command? Have you ever wanted to learn more about people who are sometimes forgotten in Civil War history - the wives of soldiers, the doctors who cared for the wounded, or the slaves whose freedom was at stake?
Visitors to "A House Divided: Money of the Civil War" are given keepsake Identity Cards featuring real people, some famous and some not, who were involved in the epic conflict.
When entering the exhibit, visitors will each be given a card featuring one of 34 identities. The card includes a photo and information about the person. Visitors are then encouraged to look for additional interesting facts about their identities while exploring the exhibit. These "Wow Info" facts are found on information cards included with each display case.
Some of the identities include John Wilkes Booth, Abraham Lincoln's assassin; Clara Barton, a nurse who later founded the American Red Cross; Mary Reynolds, a slave who provided a famous interview in 1937; and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, the famous Confederate general who died at the Battle of Chancellorsville.

Help:VisualEditor Beta ReleaseTalk0
- This extension can be enabled or disabled using Special:WikiFeatures.
The VisualEditor feature allows users to edit an article quickly and easily. The editing interface will always reflect how the article will look when published.
Using VisualEditor
On the Community Test Wikia or another Wikia site that has enabled this feature via WikiFeatures, the "Edit" button on an article page will start VisualEditor. Unlike the classic Wikia editor — sometimes called the Rich Text Editor (RTE) — VisualEditor does not reload the entire page in your browser. The transition to edit mode is thus noticeably quicker than the current RTE. The editing toolbar simply appears at the top of the article space, and the cursor appears at the beginning of the text.
Making an edit
After clicking "Edit", simply begin typing the text that you want to add. The toolbar allows for basic text modification like bold, italic and the selection of various text sizes (headings and sub-headings).
Your browser's native spell check function will be used as you enter text; this is most often shown as red underlining on misspelled words.
The toolbar also has the link tool that's used to link words or phrases to other pages on the same Wikia site. To create a link:
- Highlight the text and click the link button. In the dialog that appears, enter the target of the link.
- For an internal link, start typing the name of the page - see types of internal links for more details. Suggestions will appear in a dropdown.
- For an external link, enter the full URL (including the "http://" part). If you want the external link to display the URL itself, simply don't select any text before clicking the link button.
- When you're done, simply hit enter or click elsewhere on the screen to dismiss the dialog. Click the linked text to access the dialog again for further changes.
Choose one of the list icons to start a numbered or bulleted list.
The toolbar's "More" menu has additional buttons for underline and strikethrough formatting, subscript, superscript and indentation controls.
Other modifications
- Add a new template using the Template option on the toolbar's More menu.
- Edit an existing template by selecting it and using the template icon in the upper right.
- Add and edit categories by clicking the settings menu in the toolbar, then choosing 'Categories'.
- Add references by choosing the Reference option on the More menu in the toolbar.
- Edit existing references by selecting the references section and clicking the references icon in the upper right.
Media (images and videos)
- Upload an image, add a video, or search the community for existing images and videos using the Add Media button:
- To upload an image, click the Upload button and then select a file from your computer.
- To add a video, paste a URL from a supported site into the field at the top of the Add Media tool.
- The image or video will be added to your cart, displayed on the right side. Information about the image or video will be displayed in the center. Click Upload again or paste in another URL to add more media to the cart.
- Search the community for existing images and videos by entering search terms into the field at the top of the Add Media tool. Results will be displayed below the field; images and videos are mixed together in the results. Click on one or more images or videos to add them to the cart, displayed on the right side. Items you've added the cart will show a check mark in the upper right corner (even when they appear in subsequent search results).
- Click an item in the cart to see more information about that item. You can rename the file, select a licensing option, or remove the item from the cart.
- When your cart is ready with one or more items, click "Add Media" in the lower right. The items will be inserted into the article as thumbnails. The default width for images is 220px, and for videos it is 330px. You can resize media and add captions after adding them to the article layout.
- Resize and move images already present in the article by selecting the image and using your mouse to drag the corners. If you hold down the Shift key when dragging, the images will be resized in steps of 10px.
- Edit image captions by selecting an image and clicking the image icon at the upper right.
Accessing source
On the toolbar's Settings menu (), choose the Source editor option to view the page's wikitext. If you make any changes, click the "Apply changes" button in the lower right, and you'll be returned to the VisualEditor with the source changes reflected there.
The new VisualEditor is a new feature and development is ongoing. If you would like to experiment with the new VisualEditor before enabling it on your own community, you can try it out on the Community Test Wikia.
VisualEditor is not supported in Internet Explorer at this time. Other standard browsers are supported.
The current release allows for editing of article text, image captions, templates, categories and references as well as uploading images, adding videos, using existing images and videos, and making some types of modifications to images and videos. Any element that you can't modify using VisualEditor will be obscured with a striped overlay and a tooltip stating that it's not editable. To do things like create new templates, tables or galleries, you'll still need to use the "classic" Wikia editing experience. Wikia will be adding more functionality soon, and the VisualEditor is only active for the main namespace at this time. VisualEditor is only available in the Wikia skin.
To access the current Wikia editor, use the "Classic editor" option on the "Edit" dropdown menu. It works just as normal, with the "source" and "visual" tabs (and if you have visual editing disabled in your user preferences, you'll only see the source option in the Classic editor, as before).
User preferences
To give you more control about what editor you use, you can choose your default editor from a dropdown list in your user preferences (found here).
|Previous equivalent
|Shows whichever editor has been set as default for the wikia you are on (VE, classic or source)
|Preference ticked
|Wikia's new VisualEditor

|Wikia's classic rich-text editor
|Shows the classic rich-text editor where already enabled. If not, the source editor is shown.
|Source editor
|Shows the basic source editor on all wikias
|Preference unticked
Depending on your choice, the alternative editors can still be found under the 'Edit' button dropdown.
Customizing the 'Add media' tool license message
Admins can customize the message shown in the 'Add media' dialog by editing the
wikia-visualeditor-dialog-wikiamediainsert-policy-message system message.

Comments On Jun 20, 2011:After doing considerable research on lubes, I kept finding great reviews on this stuff from Dupont.I started using the spray version before getting a few bottles of plain liquid. Both are very good,very economical compared to most, and ( as I'd read) just don't seem to attract/hold dirt.

Comments On Oct 22, 2007:I first heard about this product from other riders online. In 42 years of riding, I've went through just about every formulation and variation of chain lubricant there is.
DuPont Multi-Purpose Lubricant isn't advertised as a specific chain lube, but it does that very well. In fact, it's replaced the penetrating oil and cable lube products on my workbench shelf.
It comes in both a large spray can with nozzle tube, and also a non-aerasol squeeze bottle.
It sprays on to a chain and quickly leaves no appreciable residue. No oil fling and no dirty rim, either.
I use the squeeze bottle to lube cables and with a lube injector such as the Cable Life one, the spray will do that too.
This is great stuff. Hard to find elsewhere, Rocky Mtn. has it in stock when I need it.

Anthony Davis gives New Orleans hope; Pelicans need more help
The way Anthony Davis blossomed into an All-Star before he'd even turned 21 provided the Pelicans with hope for the future during an otherwise bleak season.
- Apr. 18, 2014
You will be redirected to the page you want to view in seconds.
The way Anthony Davis blossomed into an All-Star before he'd even turned 21 provided the Pelicans with hope for the future during an otherwise bleak season.
The left knee surgery Eric Gordon had scheduled on Wednesday was little more than an arthroscopic 'cleanup' and all five of New Orleans' injured regulars should be ready for the start of next training camp, Pelicans general manager Dell Demps said Wednesd
Kevin Durant scored 27 points, Russell Westbrook added 24 and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the short-handed New Orleans Pelicans 116-94 on Friday night to clinch at least the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference playoffs.
The Pelicans say All-Star forward Anthony Davis will miss New Orleans' final four games this season.
Tyreke Evans had 22 points and a career-high 15 assists, and the short-handed Pelicans overcame the loss of Anthony Davis to extend their winning streak to a season-high five games, 102-95 victory over Utah on Friday night.
Injuries and illness across New Orleans' roster provided Darius Miller a chance to play extended minutes with his old Kentucky teammate, Anthony Davis.
Greivis Vasquez drew a round of applause when he first checked in against the team for which he played the past two seasons.

Man About Town- Issue 2- Hayden Christensen
So I realise that this is the second time we ( fine, I) have looked at Hayden Christensen on a magazine cover over a relatively short time period but surely a young male celebrity who has every reason to be guarded with the use of his image but agrees to be on the cover of a men's (non-dirty) magazine in only its second issue deserves to mentioned in our blog? Now better looking blog I might mention.
That and the fact that this issue contains interviews with Alexander McQueen, Editorials with Catherine McNeil, Sean Opry, Camilla Akrans and a whole feature shot underwater. Honestly, am I the only one supressing their child-like excitement here?

Bat Conservation in Georgia
Georgia's Anabat Acoustic Survey Volunteer Project
Georgia is participating in a volunteer-based, nationwide acoustic survey effort to collect long-term data about bats.
The state is home to 16 species of bats. All of them eat insects exclusively and use echolocation to navigate, communicate and find food. Echolocation calls can be recorded and used to identify bats.
The national acoustic survey protocol provides guidelines for states to follow when starting monitoring programs. Here is a basic outline of the methods for Georgia:
Detailed instructions for using the Anabat can be found here. An instructional video is available below.
Georgia's acoustic survey routes are shown on the map. Routes in green are available for surveys. Click on a route in your area to get information about road conditions, driving directions and a map.

Yet while the upcoming fall sports season promises to be an exciting and rewarding one Jacksonville, there are others out there putting in a lot of time to get, or stay, in shape.
Jacksonville's older generation is taking advantage of many programs that are offered in Jacksonville to keep active and moving.
Over 40 members take advantage of classes taught through JSU's Health Department.
Aubrey Crosson, who has been the Director of the Senior Adult Wellness, is over the water exercise classes, floor fitness and yoga. Some of the classes meet daily, others just a couple of times each week.
"These classes are offered year round based on the semester schedule," said Crosson. The ages range from 65-84. Crosson says that some of the members have been coming for 15 years.
A lot of the participants are recovering from surgeries or have arthritis, "They talk about how much better they feel after they exercise," remarked Crosson. "It's very good for them, they have a social group and when they aren't working out they spend the time talking and chatting with each other."
Just a short walk from the coliseum is the JSU track where on any given morning you can see a group of seniors walking and running on the track. One group, who didn't want to be identified, said they have been doing this now for over 34 years. The group spends at least one hour on the track and runs/walks three miles a day.
Jacksonville recently held District competition for the Masters Games of Alabama. 26 Jacksonville residents competed with 18 qualifying for state competition, some in multiple events, that will be held in Valley in early October.
Belva Durham, who is with the East Alabama Regional Planning and Development Commission Area Agency on Aging, says that the Masters Games actually originated in Oxford when councilwoman Norma Martin pushed to have the games. Over 200 people competed the first year and that number has now risen to nearly 1,000.
Durham has been especially impressed with the efforts in Jacksonville where she says that training and competition are year round as opposed to other districts that train just for the district event in July and the state events in October.
Wendy Bussey, Senior Citizen Coordinator for the City of Jacksonville says that when the program started in Jacksonville five years ago there were four participants. That number has grown now to 26.
While most people believe that the Masters Games of Alabama is just for those who are members of Senior Citizen Centers, Bussey says this isn't so. "This is a huge misconception," noted Bussey. "While five or six years ago you had to be affiliated with a senior citizen center this is not longer the case."
Individuals can enter the games without any affiliation and the age has been dropped to 50. "Fifty-year olds don't consider themselves seniors," said Bussey. "Fifty to sixty-year olds are still very competitive. They want to prove to themselves that they can still do it."
While the "younger group" may be highly competitive, don't kid yourself; the others are training just as hard and with amazing results.
Jacksonville's Sue Campeaux is the reigning state champion in the basketball free throw competition in the 60-64 year old age group, last year having made 20 of her 21 shots. Campeaux will be competing in her fifth state games in October and has won the state championship in basketball four times. The last two years she has won seven gold medals and two silver medals in swimming. She is also a champ in the nerf football throw, the Frisbee throw, and shuffleboard. Campeaux practices 10 months of the year for the events.
"The Games are a huge motivational factor for me," explained Campeaux. "To get up and move and exercise and be involved and the social interaction…it's good for the body, mind, soul and spirit.
"The first time I was in a pool I looked at the other side and really wasn't sure I was gong to make it. To go from that to swimming 40 laps in practice helped my lung capacity and energy level."
Clarence McGinnis, a former JHS quarterback, is still going strong in the sport having taken a silver medal at the games last year in the 80-84 age group.
Participants take place in a large group of events to include basketball, softball, Frisbee, football throw, dominoes, checkers, shuffleboard, line dancing and at the state level billiards, bowling, golf, horseshoes, swimming, tennis and a 5K.
While the focus soon will be on high school and college sports, take note of another generation out there working just about as hard to maintain fitness and keep in shape.

How long should a girl wait to sleep with a guy she started dating?
Leslie, I hope I'm not gonna sound like your mother here, but you should definitely wait at least 3 or 4 dates. If you can wait a month even as long as he knows that there is sex in his future with you, it's really good to wait that long because the thing is guys made you pressure to have sex but on subconscious level, he wants you to turn him down the first few times. He doesn't want you to give in.
Now, just hanging out in groups, you know, at least 3 or 4 times counts. Or does it have to be one on one date?
It's gotta be one on one.
I tried.
Because it's gotta be part of the courting process for him and he has got to be getting to know you. And there's a reason that it's good for you to wait too, if you have sex too soon it can create a [unknown] sense of intimacy for you and your judgment is off. So, waiting does two things; it empowers you, puts you very much in touch with how you really feel. And it also keeps him incredibly interested because guys love the chase, they love the challenge; that is exactly how they are, they're hardwired that way.
Okay, so does that mean if a woman does have sex with the guy in the first date, she should automatically assume that the relationship will not progress into anything?
No, it doesn't mean that. Rules are meant to be broken and we all know couples who had sex on the first date and lived happily ever after. Because sometimes it's just right and you know it, you know this is a guy for you and he knows you're the girl for him. And you feel it and your gut tells you nothing bad is gonna happen because [unknown] thing together, we both know this is something special and if we don't sleep together tonight we may miss out on the magic, we may never be able to recapture that moment. So, let your gut be your guide on these cases. Okay. Okay.

Montana minimum wage to increase, reactions mixed
On New Year's Day, thousands of Montanans will wake up to a pay raise as the state's minimum wage is set to increase by fifteen cents. The new minimum wage will be $7.80 an hour.
Back in 2006, Montana voters said yes to an initiative to add a cost-of-living change to the state's minimum wage pay. The state's labor commissioner says from August, 2011 to August, 2012, the cost of living went up 1.7 percent.
To gauge people's reactions to the new increase, NBC Montana caught up with several folks in the Flathead restaurant industry. One restaurant owner said increases will keep putting pressure on his business.
"When wages go up you pay more in taxes and that's not always an easy check to write," said Reeves Stanwood, owner of Piggyback BBQ in Whitefish.
One restaurant owner says an increase in minimum wage is a good thing, though she chooses to pay her employees more than minimum wage to begin with.
"It's a great thing. Fifteen cents isn't very much money," said Wallis Bianchi, owner of Moose's Saloon in Kalispell. "It's hard to make a living on that. Everybody deserves to be able to get by well."
Nine other states are raising minimum wage in the new year.

"It suggests that the ancestor of all dinosaurs might have been a feathered animal," says study author Mark Norell, a paleontologist at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.
Researchers have found feathered dinosaurs before, but this one is more distantly related to birds than any previously discovered. CalledSciurumimus albersdoerferi, it belongs to a group of massive dinosaurs called megalosaurs that had sharp teeth, claws and a heavy-duty frame. The specimen — a youngster that lived about 150 million years ago — is only 70 centimeters long, but it could have grown up to 10 meters, about the length of a school bus.
The fossil's feathers aren't the only things getting paleontologists all aflutter. The skeleton's condition is exciting, too.
"It's a gorgeous specimen," says Luis Chiappe, a paleontologist at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. "Probably one of the best meat-eating dinosaurs ever preserved."

To Prove the Point that Forgery Claims Betray a Naiveté that Only Enables Totalitarianism…
To those that consider the mere discussion of the following protocols as anti-XXXX this rebuttal is offered: those claims are toothless when all references to XXXX are eliminated in this work; when there are no claims that they or any race of man wrote The Protocols of The Learned Elders of XXXX. The point is whether or not the contents are true and demonstrably extant. Moreover, the larger point still is that ascribing doubt to who wrote the protocols themselves invites suspicion of sympathy for or agreement with the unknown author(s) of the appalling contents therein, because such arguments and apologetics, by inviting derision or scorn, ensure no light is cast upon the powerful who appeal to it now. Such people, however well-meaning, serve only to conceal the fact that the outline is too painfully real for fiction and obviously in effect; the guilty clearly the same shadow entities controlled primarily by "untouchable" bankers which were identified by presidents such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and more.
"A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is privately concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men… [W]e have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated, governments in the civilized world-no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and the duress of small groups of dominant men."
- Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the United States, The New Freedom. 1913
"The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government, which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities, states and nation… The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both parties, .. and control the majority of the newspapers and magazines in this country. They use the columns of these papers to club into submission or drive out of office public officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which compose the invisible government. It operates under cover of a self-created screen [and] seizes our executive officers, Legislative bodies, schools, our newspapers and every agency created for the public protection."
- New York City Mayor John F. Hylan, New York Times. March 26.1922
For our purposes we shall thenceforth refer to the controversial book in question as The Protocols of The XXXX for short. Now read it and ask yourself if the outline for global domination by a long-established international banking cabal not only works but if it is behind two world wars and a plan for a third, the assault on religion, religious wars, presidential assassinations, countless genocides, dynastic rule in America, e.g. the Bush Dynasty (extended through Jeb Bush) and proposed Rothschild-backed Clinton Dynasty, extended through Hillary Clinton, which are both gearing for war in the middle east against Russia and Iran. Consider the obscene income inequality prescribed in the protocols, the neo-serfdom, which we are facing now, over 100 years later. We are under the most corrupt Supreme Court in the history of the United States and this, too, bows to the will of Wall Street. Above Wall Street are the main puppeteers, the federal reserve, a system of private banking in which the nation's system of credit is privately concentrated in a handful of men the media naturally portrays as blameless or ignores altogether, exactly as writ in Protocol 20 by the men who printed the money then, and print it now:
"A loan is — an issue of government bills of exchange containing a percentage obligation commensurate to the sum of the loan capital. If the loan bears a charge of 5 percent, then in twenty years the State vainly pays away in interest a sum equal to the loan borrowed, in forty years it is paying a double sum, in sixty — treble, and all the while the debt remains an unpaid debt. From this calculation it is obvious that with any form of taxation per head the State is baling out the last coppers of the poor taxpayers in order to settle accounts with wealthy foreigners, from whom it has borrowed money instead of collecting these coppers for its own needs without the additional interest."
That's the federal reserve and International Monetary Fund, that is central banking, everything our founding fathers and greatest minds fervently opposed as the greatest threat to our democracy.
"A coalition of multinational corporate executives, big-city bankers, and hungry power brokers… want to give you George Bush… their purpose is to control the American government."
- Ronald Reagan, 1980.
Reagan was right. The Bush Dynasty is responsible for the most compromised Supreme Court the nation has ever endured: Alito, Thomas, and Roberts were seated by the Bush family, which fully illustrates the destructive power of political dynasties when it comes to filling the Supreme Court with extensions of corporate will, not just men sympathetic to them.
Capital's Supreme Court, for it is not ours but that of international capital, is a court which defined corporations as people rather than business contracts which they really are, but the person-hood given to corporations, particularly oil companies and banks, makes them not just people; but a special type of people that cannot breathe, walk, talk or bleed; that can own no conscience or soul, cannot go to jail, that pay no taxes, that may defy the law fearing no more than a paltry fine no matter how deadly or grievous the offense, be it fomenting a civil war here and abroad, political assassinations, dumping toxic wastes into our drinking water, money laundering for drug cartels, war lords, black market arms dealers, et cetera. Any sane man could tell the difference between a piece of paper and a human being, but not this august body of conservative men cherry-picked by the Bush Dynasty. It would imply they were honorable men, and they are not, it would imply they represented the interests of the American people or humanity in general, and they do not. It would imply they have character, and they have none, else they would not have been seated. You can't slap handcuffs on a business contract like a corporation, or hang one, or imprison one; and that is exactly why they, as members of corporations or investors, created this ruling that granted corporations all the inalienable rights of man and none of its legal restrictions.
In Protocol No. 5 we read, in no uncertain terms, that the entire point of uncontrolled capital is to oppress the people:
"Capital, if it is to co-operate untrammeled, must be free to establish a monopoly of industry and trade: this is already being put in execution by an unseen hand in all quarters of the world. This freedom will give political force to those engaged in industry, and that will help to oppress the people."
That was written as far back as 1897, but the statement must now be amended as what is proposed is now done. The Supreme Court did exactly what the protocols called for: they gave capital full reign to oppress the American people, and this year, they gave men with capital the right to buy elections by destroying any last vestige of campaign contribution limits. They have given political force to those engaged in industry, and helped oligarchs like the Koch Brothers oppress the American people as they are the money funding the police state aptly uncovered by Edward Snowden; a police state controlling all communications between citizens which would be required to keep Americans from seeking a redress of grievances or daring to.
"The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than a monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces, as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw Light upon its crimes. I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the bankers in the rear. Of the two, the one at my rear is my greatest foe… corporations have been enthroned, and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in the hands of a few, and the Republic is destroyed."

Some excerpts:
Walter Rathenau, the XXXX BANKER behind the Kaiser, writing in the German WIENER FREIE PRESSE, December 24, 1912, said:
"Three hundred men, each of who knows all the others, govern the fate of the European continent, and they elect their successor from their entourage."
Confirmation of Rathenau's statement came twenty years later in 1931 when Jean Izoulet, a prominent member of the XXXX ALLIANCE XXXX UNIVERSELLE, wrote in his PARIS LA CAPITALAE DES RELIGIONS:
"The meaning of the history of the last century is that today 300 XXXX FINANCIER, all Masters of Lodges, rule the world."
The following are quotes from the protocols themselves:
"It must be noted that men with bad instincts are more in number than the good, and therefore the best results in governing them are attained by violence and terrorization, and not by academic discussions. Every man aims at power, everyone would like to become a dictator if only he could, and rare indeed are the men who would not be willing to sacrifice the welfare of all for the sake of securing their own welfare."
"…We are constantly, by means of our press, arousing a blind confidence… The intellectuals of the PEOPLE will puff themselves up with their knowledge and without any logical verification of them will put into effect all the information available from science, which our agentur specialists have cunningly pieced together for the purpose of educating their minds in the direction we want. Do not suppose for a moment that these statements are empty words: think carefully of the successes we arranged for Darwinism, Marxism, Nietzscheism. "
"Capital, if it is to co-operate untrammeled, must be free to establish a monopoly of industry and trade: this is already being put in execution by an unseen hand in all quarters of the world. This freedom will give political force to those engaged in industry, and that will help to oppress the people."
"We shall raise the rate of wages which, however, will not bring any advantage to the workers, for at the same time, we shall produce a rise in prices of the first necessaries of life, alleging that it arises from the decline of agriculture and cattle breeding…"
"Having established approximately the modus agendi we will occupy ourselves with details of those combinations…By these combinations I mean the freedom of the Press, the right of association, freedom of conscience, the voting principle, and many another that must disappear for ever from the memory of man…"
"All our newspapers will be of all possible complexions –aristocratic, republican, revolutionary, even anarchical — for so long, of course, as the constitution exists… Those fools who will think they are repeating the opinion of a newspaper of their own camp will be repeating our opinion or any opinion that seems desirable for us. In the vain belief that they are following the organ of their party they will in fact follow the flag which we hang out for them. "
"When we come into our kingdom our orators will expound great problems which have turned humanity upside down in order to bring it at the end under our beneficent rule. Who will ever suspect then that all these peoples were stage-managed by us according to political plan which no one has so much as guessed at in the course of many centuries?"
"When we at last definitely come into our kingdom by the aid of coups d'etat prepared everywhere for one and the same day…we shall make it our task to see that against us such things as plots shall no longer exist. With this purpose we shall slay without mercy all who take arms (in hand) to oppose our coming…anything like a secret society will also be punished with death; those of them which are now in existence, are known to us, serve us and have served us, we shall disband and send into exile ….masons who know too much; such of these as we may for some reason spare will be kept in constant fear of exile."
"The most secret political plots will be known to us and will fall under our guiding hands on the very day of their conception. Among the members of these lodges will be almost all the agents of international and national police since their service is for us irreplaceable in the respect that the police is in a position not only to use its own particular measures with the insubordinate, but also to screen our activities and provide pretexts for discontents, et cetera."
"Meantime, however, until we come into our kingdom, we shall act in the contrary way: we shall create and multiply freemasonic lodges in all the countries of the world, absorb into them all who may become or who are prominent in public activity, for in these lodges we shall find our principal intelligence office and means of influence. All these lodges we shall bring under one central administration, known to us alone and to all others absolutely unknown…"
"We execute masons in such wise that none save the brotherhood can ever have a suspicion of it, not even the victims themselves of our death sentence, they all die when required as if from a normal kind of illness. Knowing this, even the brotherhood in its turn dare not protest. By such methods we have plucked out of the midst of masonry the very root of protest against our disposition. "
"Classicism, as also any form of study of ancient history, in which there are more bad than good examples, we shall replace with the study of the program of the future. We shall erase from the memory of men all facts of previous centuries which are undesirable to us, and leave only those which depict all the errors…"
"It must be remembered that the prestige of authority is lessened if it frequently discovers conspiracies against itself: this implies a presumption of consciousness of weakness, or, what is still worse, of injustice. You are aware that we have broken the prestige of the NON-XXXX kings by frequent attempts upon their lives through our agents, blind sheep of our flock, who are easily moved by a few liberal phrases to crimes provided only they be painted in political colors."
"What also indeed is, in substance, a loan, especially a foreign loan? A loan is — an issue of government bills of exchange containing a percentage obligation commensurate to the sum of the loan capital. If the loan bears a charge of 5 percent, then in twenty years the State vainly pays away in interest a sum equal to the loan borrowed, in forty years it is paying a double sum, in sixty — treble, and all the while the debt remains an unpaid debt. From this calculation it is obvious that with any form of taxation per head the State is baling out the last coppers of the poor taxpayers in order to settle accounts with wealthy foreigners, from whom it has borrowed money instead of collecting these coppers for its own needs without the additional interest."

FBI's own evidence and unclassified documents prove Wayne Williams wrongly convicted for the murder of 30 black children…
"Mrs. Catherine Leach is enraged that the best kept secret from the public in this crisis Is the brutal manner in which most of the children were mutilated. It is common to find among the bodies— castrations, hands amputated, feet amputated, lips and ears cut off, as well as part of the face. Why, the secret? It reads like old-fashion racist killings."
Ms. Catherine Leach regarding Curtis Walker, one of the murdered children
Back when this was originally written I received an email from a woman in Atlanta, Georgia who said her father was in the Klan and that he boasted of being involved in the Atlanta Child Killings. She said he once took her to a shed where, preserved in a jar, were the severed fingers of some of the black children that had been murdered. At the time, it seemed too far out to believe and I wondered how she could not bring herself to report it if true. Now it all makes sense.
In Atlanta, at least 30 children were murdered between 1978 and 1981. Fingerprints on pornographic magazines at a murder scene, phone calls directing the authorities to the bodies, witnesses and even Caucasian hairs at the crime scene pointed to a white man, with possible accomplices. Others proudly boasted of their involvement in the killings, offering grisly details never released by the police. Blamed for the crime, however, was a gay black man. Williams wasn't charged with the child killings because prosecutors knew their evidence was so weak they'd have no chance of conviction. Instead, he was prosecuted and convicted for the murder of two adults. What the FBI did is groundlessly blame the killings own Williams when their own evidence proved he couldn't have done it, because someone else claimed responsibility and there was irrefutable exculpatory evidence proving they did do it. What they did is close all the open cases in the Atlanta Child Killings to avoid prosecuting the Klan.
Were they that strong? Yes, in 1982 the Klan was still very, very strong. In fact, Klan influence in high office reached as high as the Supreme Court and at least one American President, Harry Truman, was a member (he would soon leave the Klan after being pressured to never hire Catholics). At least two 20th century Supreme Court judges were in the Klan, one of which was a Chief Justice who headed the infamous Warren Commission. (Chief Justice Earl Warren was once a Klan leader in Bakersfield, California.) The other Supreme Court Justice, appointed by FDR to appease the South, was Hugo Black. The latter has his Klan robe in the Smithsonian. The Klan was never something to be dismissed. By the time WWII came around they had members, a Vice-President and Supreme Court Justice, hand picked by Franklin Delano Roosevelt. FDR wasn't exactly a conservative icon. He was the exact opposite and was slammed even harder than President Obama is today for liberal policies like the New Deal and Social Security. FDR was widely derided as a socialist, and the Klan hates commies, no? The point is, the Republicans were just as subject to Klan influence because they were the political engine that powered the South for well over 100 years. Just as Roosevelt couldn't win the South without appeasing them, neither could Republicans. In fact, when President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act in 1964, he declared that the Democrats had just lost the South for decades.
At the time of the terrorist anti-integration campaign, the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, which came to officially "question" the FBI Director on misconduct in the Atlanta Child Killings investigation, had at least two known senators with Klan ties. One, Sen. Robert Byrd (D) had been a Kleagle in the Klan, a recruiter. The longest filibuster in American history would come in opposition to the Civil Rights Act, and it would come from Byrd, who would be on the same committee tasked with facing killings of the Atlanta Children.The other was a rabid segregationist who made Byrd look like Malcom X, Strom Thurmond (R). Thurmond was the Chairman of that Committee. An illustrative quote:
"I wanna tell you, ladies and gentlemen, that there's not enough troops in the army to force the southern people to break down segregation and admit the nigger race into our theaters into our swimming pools into our homes and into our churches."
Strom Thurmond (R), 1948
It was a show hearing, and there was more than one fox in the hen house. There was no way the Klan would go after the Klan, so their entire mission was to conceal any Klan role in the killings by reminding the FBI of their ultimate authority, and their ability to fire any director who went as far as leaking any document pointing to Klan involvement.

Due to its decent bulk, usable offense, and wide movepool, Exeggcute can play a variety of roles in Little Cup. It can make great use of its ability, Chlorophyll, to attempt a sweep, or it can play different supportive roles - it can easily set up dual screens, Trick Room, or act as a Sunny Day supporter. Exeggcute is no slouch on the offensive side, either. With access to moves such as SolarBeam, Psychic, Explosion, and a Hidden Power of choice, Exeggcute can make opponents rip their hair out when trying to counter this batch of eggs. However, that's not to say Exeggcute doesn't have any downfalls. With weaknesses to Fire-, Ice-, Bug-, Poison-, Flying-, Ghost-, and Dark-type attacks, most Pokemon will easily possess a super effective attack. Even so, Exeggcute's resistences to Psychic-, Grass-, Fighting-, Ground-, and Water-type attacks can somewhat mediate its weaknesses and efficiently allow it to accomplish any task given to it.
With 28 Speed under Sunny Day courtesy of Chlorophyll, passable Special Attack, and access to Explosion, Exeggcute is one of the most dangerous Sunny Day sweepers in Little Cup. SolarBeam is a powerful STAB attack, though it is the second strongest behind the counterintuitive Leaf Storm. Psychic is also very strong, and is capable of hitting many Pokemon that don't resist it for big damage. In the third slot, Sleep Powder is the primary option, allowing Exeggcute to essentially remove pesky Sucker Punch users from play - namely, Croagunk, Houndour, and Stunky; all three resist SolarBeam, with the latter two sporting an immunity to Psychic to boot. However, Hidden Power Ground would smack all three of these Pokemon for super effective damage on the switch in (though Croagunk is OHKOed by Psychic anyways), while Hidden Power Ice allows Exeggcute to get a super effective attack on non-Poison Grass-types (since Poison is weak to Psychic-type attacks). Even if Exeggcute lacks Sleep Powder, not even Munchlax is a great check to this set, as Exeggcute can easily remove Munchlax from the battle via Explosion. Explosion will also allow Exeggcute to literally go out with a bang when Sunny Day nears its end.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
With decent defenses, Exeggcute can run a good dual screen support set. Reflect and Light Screen are obvious choices for the first two slots. Light Clay will extend the duration of both of these moves by three turns. Sleep Powder is a great support move that can put a Pokémon that would normally counter Exeggcute, like Stunky, to sleep. If Exeggcute uses Explosion, it will allow a teammate to get 6 turns of one screen, and 5 of the other. However, Psychic is a decent option on this set if Substitute Gastly is troublesome. The EVs and nature emphasize Exeggcute's Special Defense, since its Defense is naturally higher. An extra point is given to Attack for Explosion, but it should be transferred to Special Attack if Psychic is being used instead.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Due to Exeggcute's relatively low Speed, it can run a decent Trick Room support set. Trick Room allows it to go first in most cases, since it will have a minimal amount of Speed and can "outspeed" numerous threats in Trick Room. Sleep Powder is a great support move that allows slow setup sweepers to pull off a boosting move before the opponent wakes up. Psychic gets good neutral coverage and prevents Exeggcute from being helpless against Substitute Gastly and Drifloon. However, Leaf Storm is Exeggcute's strongest STAB attack and, even without any investment, can still do a good amount of damage, even with neutral damage. Explosion is a good pivot move, as it can remove an opposing threat most of the time, and can give a Trick Room sweeper a clean switch in. The EVs maximize Exeggcute's Defense, with the remainder going into Attack and Special Defense. A 0 IV in Speed is important so Exeggcute can outspeed more Pokemon under Trick Room.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
With a bulky spread, Exeggcute can become a reliable user of Sunny Day. SolarBeam is its strongest STAB next to Leaf Storm and, unlike Leaf Storm, will not lower Exeggcute's Special Attack by two stages. Psychic is a good secondary STAB move, but Hidden Power Ground hits Fire-types, namely Houndour, while Hidden Power Ice hits Gligar and bulky Grass-types for super effective damage, though Psychic will still do a good amount of damage to all of the above. Sleep Powder can put a threat or check to sleep. However, Explosion can clear the way for a sweeper and give it a free switch in. Since this set is for support and not sweeping, a bulky EV spread with a Calm nature is used. Even with the lowering of Attack, Explosion will still OHKO Munchlax. Despite the lack of any Speed investment, Chlorophyll will allow Exeggcute to get the jump on many slower threats and put them to sleep via Sleep Powder or KO them with one of its attacks.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Exeggcute can utilize a Wish + Protect set, but this isn't as viable a strategy in Little Cup as it is in standard play. Leaf Storm, though having a terrible secondary effect, can be used over SolarBeam for a much stronger STAB attack, but Exeggcute would lose a lot of power with its other attacks. A Swords Dance set in Sunny Day can work, but the lack of a Psychic-type STAB makes Bellsprout generally a better choice for such a role. Worry Seed effectively neutralizes a pesky ability, like Wynaut's Shadow Tag, but is counterintuitive if used with Sleep Powder. Synthesis could be used, but the coverage moves and other support moves would be more beneficial in most cases.
Checks and Counters
Snover is, in most cases, the best counter to Exeggcute. Upon switching in, it can eliminate Sunny Day thanks to Snow Warning, causing Exeggcute to charge up its SolarBeam; Snover can then outspeed and OHKO Exeggcute with Blizzard. Most Fire-types can greatly threaten it; Houndour is one of the better checks as it is immune to Psychic. Though Stunky isn't a Fire-type, it is part-Dark, and can easily OHKO Exeggcute with Sucker Punch or Crunch. If Exeggcute lacks Psychic, Gastly can set up a Substitute on it and then fire off super effective Sludge Bombs. Bronzor can beat Exeggcute if carrying Hidden Power Ice since it resists both of Exeggcute's STABs, but must always be wary of Sleep Powder.

Earlier this month I was down at Manly Beach on a perfect Sydney summer Sunday. Lying on my towel, I noticed a vibrant guy talking in a foreign language that turned out to be Spanish. His name was Jose, and he was at the beach with his wife and kids. He'd been in Australia only a few months.
The Creative Innovation (CI) conference by using a unique format that unlocks both 'left brain' and 'right brain' potential, and featuring a number of the world's best thinkers and achievers, is able to bring valuable insights to current issues.
Ci2013 looked at what would be needed for Australia to succeed in an age of endless and rapid change. For clarity, it grouped issues under six "E"s: – Education, Entrepreneurship and the Economy, Energy and the Environment and Ethical leadership
Every day, I am pitched by startups hoping to change the world and some actually do. Lately however, it seems that many entrepreneurs are confusing creativity with innovation. Now more than ever, I see apps, services, and companies that are uninspired or uninspiring. While this itself is not a problem, the fact that many of these ideas are funded creates a benchmark for mediocrity.
While clever or interesting, more than a fair share of ideas are not original, unusual, experimental or grand enough to will the next 10 years in a direction that fulfills its true potential. In the grand ecosystem of innovation, most ideas are infrequently innovative and as a result, waves of potential disruption are erratic or fleeting. Ideas are a commodity these days. The next 10 years will be defined by those who do more than innovate. The future lies in the hands of those who disrupt markets and industries. But, often innovation and disruption are not linked together.

What are Pubic Lice?
Pubic lice (also called Phthirus pubis) are small, wingless, parasitic insects that live in your genital area. They produce tiny eggs called nits which are similar in size to dandruff flakes and attach themselves to the hair shaft. Once these nits hatch, they multiply even more quickly. Pubic lice can cause intense itching and scratching, which sometimes leads to a secondary bacterial infection.
Although pubic lice can affect any part of the body; they generally favor the hairs of the genital area.
Symptoms and signs
The most common symptoms and signs of pubic lice include:
- Frequent itching and scratching of the pubic hair area
- Sores or small, red bumps on the genital area
- Nits (Pubic lice eggs) that appear as tiny, white, clear or oval-shaped dots ( usually sitting at an angle on the hair shaft)

"Ordered this save the date for my wedding and i could not be happier! it's exactly how I imagined, the photo looked great, paper quality was nice and thick and overall it was great! I did rush shipping and with rush shipping it said it would take two weeks (i live in Canada) but i ordered it the Wednesday and got it on the Monday!!! Thank you wedding paper divas!! I've already gotten great compliments on the save-the-dates :)"
"They turned out beautifully! I cannot wait to send to my wedding guests! I also really love that you can reorder a few more at the price you paid for a larger quantity! Very impressed"
"My fiance and I loved these save the dates as soon as we saw them. We removed the date text below "Save the Date" and instead used the three pictures for the three numbers that made up our wedding date. The cards arrived packaged very nicely. The printing and paper quality is amazing! We can't wait to share them with our guests."
"I ordered the elegant vows in the green color. The quality of the image was excellent. I did order the thick matte paper and this was too thick. It kinda made them seem to be like coasters. Will order in different paper. The printing and shipping is very fast. It came faster than anticipated."
"Purchased these save the dates with the upgraded pearl white shimmer paper as recommended and I was glad I did. The paper quality looks excellent! The prints looks just like my electronic proof and customer service was speedy with their correspondence. Only wish they could have removed the cheesy header of "Celebrate LOVE" with just simply "Save the date" ;) But overall, a great purchase! Great company!"
