Does what it says on the tin, stayed overnight for a function in Falmouth. Slept well and the cooked breakfast was good. The hotel is a bit dated and could do with a touch up but all in all you get what you pay for.
This is my second review for The Rosslyn. We stayed here as it is very close to friends that we visit. Our room was clean, warm and functional, the breakfast's were excellent, the staff were very polite and efficient. Can't knock it . . . . .
Do not read the bad reviews and assume they are exaggerated disgruntled customers.
The place is a dump.
It smells.
It is dirty.
Badly furnished.
It's also expensive: at half the price and advertise as basic accommodation it still wouldn't be acceptable.
Dear booking.com, take this off your site.
We stayed here as our previous booking was cancelled at last minute so thought we were lucky to get anywhere as it was Tall Ships weekend. The hotel is at the top of the hill out of town a good 30 minutes walk away. Fine on the way in but uphill all the way back!
The hotel is in a...
Have recently returned from a 3 night stay in this hotel. Got to say I agree with the previous
reviews - IT IS TERRIBLE! and the worse thing was how rude and arrogant the owner was.
I have never stayed in such a tatty and obviously unloved hotel.
I was so disappointed because on there website it sounded like a...
we stayed in family room (room 23) for 2 nights in august 2014. i wish i had looked on here first. they advertise wifi in all rooms but said there was non in our room due to a steel wall in the corridor. decor was shabby and out dated, wires everywhere for extension leads. the bathroom was tiny and fittings...
Whilst the cleanliness seems to have improved from what previous reviews describe, I found the owners to be fairly rude and remote during my stay. The internet connection is poor and in my case was wired rather than WiFi. Whilst the waitresses were polite the owner told me to clear off when I was eating breakfast on the morning of...
Having stayed at this establishment some two years ago, I instructed my company not to use the place in future.......run down, shabby, damp and more importantly, no discernible smoke detectors in the guest rooms.
We have new admin staff and unfortunately they were using an old hotel data base to book our hotels. Having been booked into this hotel (?)...
The rate charged for this hotel are no way what should be charged .It is run down and needs a make over (not some that is easy for a small family run hotel) The room was a good size but badly need doing up .I can not comment on the food as I did not eat or drink here .The...
The Rosslyn is outside of the city centre and thus not to be recommended for people arriving by train. If you come by car, you'll find free parking space in front of the hotel. You will appreciate the friendly welcome by helpful people at the reception. Rooms are proper and rather simple. After a quiet night you may be early...
"Go to another Hotel"
"I would guess a room with an outside wall would have better ventilation for the bathroom so you may not have such a noisy extractor fan."
"We had Room 14."
"Dont go there, but if you do room 4 was the biggest but watch the shower"
"had a room overlooking the back garden, they said the WIFI might not work
at the back but never had any problem, Weather not at its best look forward to going back in the summer"

I need some help regarding some internet problem that I have been facing with my office VPN Network. I have a VPN installed in my office where only access to 3 or 4 sites have been allowed. I have been able to open the sites allowed through the VPN connection, but not able to open other sites. Not even google is assessable.
I would like you to help me out with a solution, so as to enable me to surf the internet through other sites and also download stuff through IDM or another such download client.
The whole network is running on Linux based systems. I intent to use the network on a windows PC with windows 7 installed on it.
Any suggestions on the issue are desperately awaited. Looking forward to hear from you soon.

The Times of Their Lives: Life, Love, and Death in Plymouth Colony (Paperback)
James Deetz, who until his death was a leading expert on the archaeology of Plymouth Colony, and his wife, cultural historian Patricia Scott Deetz, give a realistic and fascinating picture of life in colonial America as they recount, in colorful detail, the true story of Plymouth Colony.
The Pilgrims were not the somber, dark-clad historical figures children learn about in school. Nor were they nearly as pious as we've been led to believe: they wore brightly colored clothing, drank heavily, had adulterous affairs, and committed both petty and serious crimes against their neighbors. Using court transcripts, wills, probate listings, rare first-hand accounts, and archeological finds, the Deetzes delve into everyday life in Plymouth Colony, accurately recasting one of the most cherished chapters of American history.
About the Author
James Deetz, Ph.D., is the Harrison Professor of Historical Archaeology at the University of Virginia. Perhaps the foremost expert on the archaeology of Plymouth Colony, he is considered one of the "founding fathers" of Historical Archaeology. For eleven years Deetz worked as the Assistant Director of the museum at Plymouth Plantation, where he introduced an innovative interpretive program. He is the author of "In Small Things Forgotten" and "Flowerdew Hundred,"
Patricia Scott Deetz is a cultural historian with an M. A. in history from Rhodes University, South Africa. She has worked with her husband as a researcher in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Virginia for the past seven years.
Deetz is a cultural historian with an M.a. in history from Rhodes University, South Africa. She is on the Research Faculty of the Department of Anthropology at the University of Virginia.
Praise For…
"[A] fascinating and delightful?revisionist history of our Pilgrim forebears."
--The Providence Journal
"The Deetzes have knocked the dust off these Thanksgiving pageant characters and given them new life."
--The San Diego Union-Tribune
"A hard-headed description...based on the evidence, of life in the Plymouth Colony."

KEVIN CLASH, the man behind Elmo, is resigning from "Sesame Street" after a second man alleged that the puppeteer began an inappropriate relationship with him when he was underage.
Cecil Singleton, 24, claimed that he was 15 when their relationship started. He says he and Clash did not have sex back then but engaged in some, well, let's call it heavy petting. He said that he and Clash did not engage in the Clintonian definition of sexual intercourse until Singleton reached 18. Singleton is seeking $5 million in damages from Clash.

DETROIT - There may finally be something capable of slowing down the ever-elusive Barry Sanders: the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The former star running back of the Detroit Lions and a Heisman Trophy winner out of Oklahoma State was among 67 players and contributors nominated for election Wednesday.
From that list, selectors will choose 23 semifinalists who will be added to two carry-over candidates from last year. The list of 25 semifinalists will be announced next month and then reduced to 15 finalists.
The selectors will then vote on Jan. 31, 2004 - the day before the Super Bowl - to choose between three and six new members, who will be inducted next summer.
Sanders suddenly retired just before the 1999 season after 10 years in the NFL.
He ran for 15,269 yards and walked away from the game with Walter Payton's rushing record only one of his average seasons away. Sanders, who always said he wasn't motivated to break records, said in a written statement that his desire to retire was stronger than his desire to play, and he hasn't said much since.
David Ware, Sanders' agent, said Sanders will not be a no-show if he is inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Pain Management Health Center
Temporomandibular Disorder: Areas of Pain
Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a condition in which a person feels pain and discomfort in the muscles and joints that connect the lower jawbone (mandible) to the skull. These flexible muscles and joints are felt right in front of the ears and are needed to talk, chew, swallow, and yawn.
Also, pain and tension in the muscles around the TM joint can cause tension in surrounding muscles, so muscles of the face, head, neck, and shoulders may be involved. Symptoms can include muscle pain in any area shown in the picture above, or headaches due to muscle tension.

100 themesJournal Entry: Sun Jan 5, 2014, 8:21 PM
I'm going to start the 100 themes art challenge again. I think I tried it around 2009 or so, but I feel more..steady? with my art now. It still has a way to go, but I just feel better about it . It's just good practice to grow on I think, even though it's so simple. I'll be doing the first style of it, because it was the one I tried before and I'd like to finish what I started...
(As a side note, everyone I promised art to I am still working on them. A few characters I have never drawn before so I'm just trying to not rush my first try at them. Bad things happen when I rush. Even my doodles here take me about 4 hours to look like they do..)

EBU Standardisation of Audio Over IP for Contribution Systems
Audio over IP end units are increasingly being used in radio operations for streaming of radio programmes to and from studio sites. The IP networks used are often well-managed private networks with controlled Quality of Service. The open Internet is also more and more being used for radio contribution. Radio correspondents now have a choice to use either ISDN, or the Internet or managed IP networks to deliver their reports. ISDN services will be closed down in some countries. The European Broadcasting Union project ACIP has created an interoperability standard, which has been developed jointly by members of the EBU and manufacturers. The document, TECH 3326 [1], has since its publication quickly been implemented and used by more than 20 manufacturers worldwide for end units for streaming contribution over IP. Several plug tests have been made between manufacturers to enhance and confirm the standard. The requirements for interoperability are based on the use of RTP over UDP for the audio session and SIP for signaling. IETF RFC documents for commonly used audio formats in radio contribution define the packet payload audio structure. This document gives an overview of the standard and its applications in broadcasting.

LONGWOOD, Fla. (AP) - A woman whose son was found outside a Longwood home told authorities that her car was stolen with the child inside it when she quickly ran back inside her house.
According to a 911 call released Monday, 24-year-old Julinia Moreno told emergency officials that the errand took "five seconds."
Investigators had originally said Moreno left her son in the car while she went to a party at an Altamonte Springs house.
Moreno's son was found in the yard of a Longwood home. He was crying, cold and soaking wet.

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

- Vitamin C for Sensitive Stomachs
- Dietary Supplement
Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a white, crystalline, water-soluble substance found in citrus fruits. As an antioxidant, vitamin C scavenges free radicals in the body and protects tissues from oxidative stress. Vitamin C also promotes the absorption of iron, while preventing its oxidation. Vitamin C is a vital cofactor to the formation of collagen, the connective tissue that supports arterial walls, skin, bones, and teeth. A major immune-supporting activity of vitamin C is boosting glutathione levels in human lymphocytes, cells that make up about 25% of all white cells in the blood.
More vitamin C is contained in the adrenal glands than any other organ in the body and is required at higher levels during times of stress. Physical stresses on the body such as ingestion of heavy metals, cigarette smoking, immune impairment, extreme temperatures, and chronic use of certain medications such as aspirin also signal the need for increased intake of vitamin C.
Vitamin C Powder contains four buffering minerals, in addition to ascorbic acid. When mixed with water, this product produces a reduced-acid solution that is non-irritating to the stomach and intestinal lining. The minerals also make it a more pleasant-tasting and healthful drink. The substances used in this product make it effervesce for a short while when it is mixed with water.
Suggested Use
Read the entire label and follow the directions carefully prior to use.
Mix one (1) teaspoon of Buffered Vitamin C Powder into a glass of water. Wait for the fizz to stop before consuming. The minerals buffer out the normally acidic vitamin C to make a pleasant tasting drink.
Other Ingredients
Density may vary from lot to lot.
To ensure product consistency store tightly closed in a cool, dry place.
Caution: Consuming high doses of this potent product can initially cause diarrhea, especially when taken on an empty stomach. Take with meals starting off low and gradually increasing the dose.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Do not exceed recommended dose.
- Do not purchase if outer seal is broken or damaged.
- When using nutritional supplements, please consult with your physician if you are undergoing treatment for a medical condition or if you are pregnant or lactating.

I've taken mega-doses of vitamin c daily for decades. This is my favorite. It is buffered, so it won't cause stomach upset. It is also quite economical, and doesn't taste too bad. Highly recommended. I believe that nutritional supplements saved my life. I've tried a lot of products, and I know what works and what doesn't. My reviews are honest, straighforward, and based on my experience. Read my other reviews to quickly learn from my three decades of research and experimentation.
I like this powder. Put it in my daily water. The ingredients are good, it has a slight fizz to it and no sugar. One teaspoon provides 4,000 mg. of Vitamin C and it doesn't upset my stomach
Don't know what you mean?

Relief of Abdominal Pain & Bloating.
Posted by 4959656846219466766 on Jul 14, 2014
I have been to 5 doctors in 2 years, and no one could find out why I am constantly bloated, with sever abdominal pain. A sever Constipation. They have run every test and tried surgeries. I switched to a Homeopathic Dr. in Feb. 2014. He started me with the Stress out series. It works to stop the pain. Which was my most important goal. I looked on my own for the buffered Vitamin C, and found this. It gets rid of the pain and the bloating. The constaption is easier. Now I just have to keep taking it to see if it will get rid of all my fatigue. It taste great if you mix it with Miso drink enhancements and a little sugar. It has a sour kick. BUT It WORKS! I LOVE IT!!!!!
Good stuff

KRON 4 reporter Stanley Roberts seems like the kind of tattle-tale who was a teacher's pet in middle school, but to his credit, his snitching hasn't resulted in any stitching, and he's turned it into a career. In his most recent "People Behaving Badly" segment, he caught a motorcyclist breakin' the law. When the guy on the bike realizes he's being filmed, he confronts Roberts, and WHAT HAPPENS NEXT…might not surprise you, but there's some tasty comeuppance to chew on.

So he had a problem with people filming him, even though no one could've known it was him because he was wearing a helmet? A problem he later rectified when he walked over to the camera, took off his helmet and said "Don't film me."

Actually, I found it super funny when the reporter said "I'll try, but it might be kinda difficult," and then the biker said "then get your boyfriend to do it for you." Ordinarily, this would not be worth mention, but a homophobic slur in San Francisco – long considered the gay capital of the world by those of us who for one reason or another don't know any gay people – seems particularly poorly informed.

Reminds me of a friends GF. He came home late to her drunk one night, and told her to keep it down when she was yelking (yell talking) in the other room, to which she replied, "are you threatening me? I'll call the cops." She picked up the phone, dialed 9-1-1 and the cops showed up.
Cops talked to him, and he said he had just gotten home from work, trying to go to sleep and she started yelling at him. When they talked to her, they realized she was drunk and started getting belligerent with them. They ran her through the system to find out she had a failure to appear for a hit and run DUI. Oops. 6 months in the poke.

Kenny Harris, an assistant Maricopa County manager, was fired Monday evening after refusing to resign amid a scandal that has plagued one of the departments he supervised.
On Monday, Harris sent a letter to County Manager David Smith, saying he would not comply with Smith's request to resign by 5 p.m. Monday. The one-page letter referenced a dispute over Harris' use of county funds to pay for at least three years of fraternity membership dues totaling $5,000. According to the letter, Harris repaid the county after learning that Smith "would have not supported this civic, or fraternal organization."
Harris' response to resignation request
Harris was told Friday afternoon of the Monday deadline, the letter said. At that meeting, county officials confiscated his badge and cellphone. Around 6 p.m. Monday, county representatives delivered a termination letter to his wife.
News of Smith's request shocked top county officials, including members of the Board of Supervisors. The chief of staff for Supervisor Fulton Brock, said Brock "has the greatest admiration for both Kenny and David, but is going to withhold further judgment until he has an opportunity to review all of the relevant information."
Smith declined comment, as did members of the Board of Supervisors.
Known for his gregarious nature, Harris has overseen construction of many of the Valley's capital projects, including University of Phoenix Stadium, Phoenix City Hall and the Phoenix Art Museum. He has been mentioned as a potential replacement as county manager when Smith steps down, which could happen next year.
A somber Harris told The Arizona Republic on Monday that he plans to hire an attorney to protect his job.
Harris' letter came on the heels of an internal county investigation that found 11 employees may have violated county ethics policies and state law when they accepted free tickets to concerts and sporting events, and other gratuities from companies that contract with the county.
All of those employees were placed on paid administrative leave last week; eight were issued pre-termination letters and three received pre-suspension letters. Most of the employees are covered by merit rules and are scheduled for private pre-disciplinary meetings this week to help determine the accuracy of the investigation. One employee who was not merit-protected was fired, but county officials as of Monday would not release his or her name.
Most of the employees involved in that investigation work in the Facilities Management Department, one of the agencies that Harris oversees. Harris earned more than $175,000 a year and supervised construction of the county's $340 million court-tower project in downtown Phoenix.
Harris told The Republic he was not part of the "so-called ticket-taking culture in the facilities department, which was probably started before 2007," the year he was hired.
Harris' dispute appears to focus on dues he paid Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity. Harris said his finance manager approved the dues and he thought nothing of it because previous employers had paid his dues to the fraternity and professional organizations in the past.
Harris learned of Smith's displeasure over the dues at a Sept. 1 meeting, according to his letter. Harris said Smith did not ask him to repay the money, but he paid the county back in full on Dec. 6.
"Not many engineering professionals can say that they served as city engineer of the largest city in the state and the county engineer of one of the largest counties in the country," Harris said. "All I have to hand off to my children is my construction reputation, honor and professionalism. My hope is that the great work that has been done under my leadership on the south court tower and the new sheriff's headquarters and (in) the public-works constellation will continue."
Harris was named in the investigative report that detailed county workers' acceptance of tickets from county vendors. A county spokeswoman said Harris was not one of the employees who was placed on leave. The report focused on whether Harris accepted gratuities beyond the "nominal value" allowed by county policy. Harris told an independent investigator that in 2010 and 2011, he played as a guest in a golf foursome paid for by Parsons Corp., the project manager for the court tower. Harris said he played golf once with Parsons and once with representatives from Gilbane, the court-tower builder. While he did not pay for his spot in the foursome, Harris said that he paid for "other things." The report said Harris violated the county's gift rule.
In September, the report said Harris played in a charity golf event for the CK Group, also a county vendor. Harris did not pay for his spot in that foursome, valued at $90: "Although Harris knew the owner from other places, he wondered whether accepting the price of the foursome was proper, because CK Engineers works for the county. When they play golf, they discuss things related to county business," the investigative report said. Harris also has had conversations with a court-tower architect about giving county employees tickets to the vendor's skybox near the 16th hole at the Phoenix Open.
County officials released a human-resources report detailing conflicts between Harris and Janet Palacino, director of the Facilities Management Department, in response to The Republic's request for information about allegations of improprieties in connection with the court tower. The report referred to their professional relationship as dysfunctional.
Palacino raised a wide range of issues against Harris, her superior. Among the allegations, Palacino said Harris was racist, sexist, publicly demeaned her, was passive-aggressive toward her and left her out of project decisions she believed she should have been involved in.
Of Palacino's allegations, totaling at least 40, the human-resources department determined 18 need further review, and cleared the remainder.

—Steven Pressfield, author of Gates of Fire
"Rome never fell -- it simply moved five hundred miles East -- to Byzantium. For over a thousand years the Byzantines commanded one of the most visceral and vivid empires the world has ever known. And yet their achievements are consistently underplayed; written out of history. Lars Brownworth is a rare talent. His contagious passion brings murderous empresses, conniving eunuchs, lost Greek texts and Byzantine treasures of fairy-tale proportions blinking back into the light. Confidently striding through time and across the mountains and plains of the Eastern Mediterranean, Brownworth puts this theocratic superstate slap-bang in the center of mankind's global story; back where it should be. The Byzantines made our world what it is today. Lars Brownworth matches their verve and brio in his seductive and gripping account."
—Bettany Hughes, PBS host and author of Helen of Troy
"This is history as it used to be, history as story-telling. In this fascinating account of the Byzantine empire, Lars Brownworth covers a thousand years of blood-letting, outrageous luxury, bitter religious disputes and vaulting ambition without giving the slightest impression of being rushed or crowded. The page turns unaided."
—Anthony Everitt, bestselling author of Augustus, Cicero and The First Emperor
"A hugely entertaining and often moving portrait of a civilization to which the modern West owes an immense but neglected debt. Read it, and you will never use the word 'Byzantine' as a term of abuse again."
—Thomas Holland, author of Millennium, Persian Fire and Rubicon
"Lost to the West is the sort of history I wish I'd been offered in school — a fast-paced adventure story that covers over a thousand years of political intrigue, brilliant leaders, incompetent squabblers, mayhem, butchery and religious divides, and vividly pictures a bygone era that is still a vital part of our heritage."
—Mark Pendergrast, author of Uncommon Grounds
"The Byzantines are back! Correcting centuries of neglect, Lars Brownworth guides us through a forgotten world and, with clarity and wit, brings it to vibrant life. Filled with a dazzling cast of ruthless Emperors, conniving generals and half-crazed scholars, Lost to the West is both entertaining and enlightening -- a great piece of popular history."
—Tony Perrottet, author of Pagan Holiday and The Naked Olympics

Karzai's spokesman, Aimal Faizi, told The AP in an interview on the sprawling palace grounds in Kabul that the president was frustrated by what he perceives are attempts by his political opponents and the West, including the United States, to use the peace process to lay the groundwork for a post-2014 Afghanistan led by those hand-picked by them.
This latest flap between Karzai and the West could halt or at least delay the official opening of a Taliban office in the Middle Eastern state of Qatar. The office is intended to give the Taliban an address from which they can conduct peace talks. Faizi said Karzai supports the office "in principle," with some conditions.
"This office should be used only as an address for talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban," Faizi said. "This office should not be used for any other purpose."
Faizi also said the president wants the Taliban to publicly announce that they will negotiate peace only with the Afghan High Peace Council. So far, the Taliban have resisted, although officials close to the president say privately that they appear to be softening their hard-line stance.
Taliban spokesman, Zabiullah Mujahid, seemed uncompromising when he spoke to The AP.
"There is no change in the policy of the Islamic Emirate of not talking to the Karzai government," he said "The Karzai regime is powerless and installed by others. Real parties to the conflict are those who have committed aggression."
But still the Taliban have shown signs of moderating their positions in recent months.
According to several Western officials, who are involved or knowledgeable about the process, the most telling sign of flexibility came in a statement issued late last year by Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar. In the statement marking the Islamic holy holiday of Eid al-Adha, Omar for the first time offered to share power. He also said he had no interest in starting a civil war.
"As to the future political destiny of the country, I would like to repeat that we are neither thinking of monopolizing power nor intend to spark off domestic war," he said.
While still firm on his demand for Sharia or Islamic law, in Afghanistan, the Taliban leader, who rarely speaks and has a $10 million bounty on his head, did seem to take a few steps back from the harsh and regressive edicts and interpretations of Islamic law that characterized the Taliban's five-year rule. Many of those edicts were directed at women, denying them education and the right to work. He also seemed to extend an olive branch to Afghanistan's other ethnic groups.
"We will guarantee rights of both male and female of the country, build economic structures and strengthen social foundations and facilities of education for all people of the country," he said.
But Omar's flexibility only went so far. He still insisted on an Islamic education system. While the West has been pressing for secular education, many of Afghanistan's current leaders support a Quran-based education system.
A senior member of the High Peace Council, who met with Taliban on the sidelines of the two conferences in France and Tokyo, said they also vowed to make child marriages illegal and outlaw a common practice among ethnic Pashtuns to use their daughters as barter to settle disputes.

Most discussions of the cultural changes linked to the Internet are holistically focused ñ discussing the effect of technical changes on the characteristics as a system as a whole. This talk will take a complementary perspective by focusing on how cultural change is being shaped from the bottom-up "makers", "sufferers" or "perpetrators" of Open Access publishing.
The main part of the talk will give an insider's perspective, as a case study, of the decisions, motivations and constraints of individuals and stakeholders at different points in the development of a major Open Access publishing project in linguistics. The perspective will then be widened to situate this particular development in the larger development of a "publication" as one functional element in the concept of open science.

Perhaps Hitler's most important social policy could be argued to be 'Lebensraum' (literally: living space). By the start of 1935, Hitler had rearranged German life to conform with his Weltanschaung (world view) through the pursuit of Lebensraum and of course a race to find a solution to 'the Jewish question', which is addressed under a separate heading 'religious policies' below.
His quest for living space began when the citizens of Saarland voted to return to Germany (self-determination) by a plebiscite. Hitler cunningly used its return for propaganda purposes by announcing his hope for peace between Germany and France, when actually what we wanted was to buy time until he could build up his military. He believed that land could be acquired for Germany only through force.
This theme of aggression goes back to the ideals he lived by, namely Social Darwinism. He himself said: 'Politics is nothing more than the struggle of a people for its existence.' 'It is an iron principle, the weaker one falls so that the strong one gains life'. Three values determined a people's fate: 'blood-' or 'race-value', the 'value of personality', and the 'spirit of struggle' or 'self-preservation drive'. These values, embodied in the 'aryan race', were threatened by the three 'vices'- democracy, pacifism, and internationalism- that comprised the work of 'Jewish Marxism'. These two arguments were used by him to counter opposite viewpoints, such as proposed by the Western countries and the Jewish population. The impact of Social Darwinism was very visible in that it formed his foreign policy and could be argued to be one of the long-term causes of WWII.
An important part of Hitler's domestic policies addressed the role of women. Hitler supported the very traditional view of a family, with the woman staying at home and taking care of the children. In 1920, the NSDAP published a list of 25 points stating that it disapproved of women working. Hitler claimed that the emancipation of women was an idea created by Jewish intellectuals. He believed that for a German woman her "world is her husband, her family, her children and her home". Another one of Hitler's goals was to build as big of a pure Aryan race as possible and to achieve this his policies encouraged women to have as many children as possible. This policy took its most radical form in 1936 with the state-directed program known as 'Lebensborn' (Tree of Life), which prescribed that every SS member should father at least four children. However, it was never promoted aggressively and the state focused instead on marriage and family by encouraging matrimony through marriage loans, dispensed family income and increasing punishments for abortion, amongst other things. Girls were taught to comply with these measures through compulsory membership in the Nazi League of German Girls.
The photograph above is a cover of the Nazi publication on race 'New People' and portrays motherhood in an idealistic setting (April, 1936).
On the other hand, Hitler showed a lot of pragmatism when the war effort came around and he was forced to give orders for more radical measures to raise manpower for the front and the armaments industries. Whereas in 1942 he had rejected outright the conscription of women to work in the war industries, by early 1943 the labor situation had worsened to the extent that he was compelled to concede that the conscription of women could no longer be avoided. In an unpublished Fuhrer Decree of 13 January 1943, women between seventeen and fifty years old were ordered for deployment in the war effort.

This is an extract of a speech that Hitler gave in Nuremberg in 1933 and illustrated his political views quite adequately:
In that we deny the principle of parliamentary democracy we strike the strongest blow for the right of the nation to the self-determination of its own life. For in the parliamentary system we see no genuine expression of the nation's will--a will which cannot logically be anything else than a will to the maintenance of the nation--but we do see a distortion, if not a perversion, of that will. The will of a nation to the self-determination of its being manifests itself most clearly and is of most use when its most capable minds are brought forth. They form the representative leaders of a nation, they alone can be the pride of a nation--certainly never the parliamentary politician who is the product of the ballot box and thinks only in terms of votes. The constructive development of the future leadership of the nation through its most able men will take years; the intelligent education of the German people will take decades.
Here, one can see that Hitler counters democracy and the parliamentary system because of the lack of education that he feels that the German people have. This feeling was certainly one of the many motives behind the fact that he seized power and declared himself Fuhrer.
His political views were synthesized in National Socialism (Nazism). It was a worldview as much as a political system that advocates totalitarian control over all aspects of the state. It developed in 1918 as a counter-ideology following the Bolshevik revolution and the democratic parliamentary system (see extract of speech above, which clearly counters the second movement). Although antisemitism was not an inherent part of National Socialism, it soon became that. In addition, the party was very nationalistic (its supporters were very much so) and strongly against internationalism and the assimilation of any foreign cultures. By this, Hitler also spoke out against the Jews in the respect that he convinced others there was no space for foreigners in Germany and Germans could not accept others if it meant that their own identity would be compromised.
This view is very well illustrated by Hitler's speech in Munich delivered in 1923:
Internationalism is weakness in the life of nations. What is there that is born of internationalism? Nothing. The real values of human culture were not born of internationalism, but they were created by the whole heritage and tradition of the people [das Volkstum]. When peoples no longer possess creative power they become international. Wherever there is weakness in regard to spiritual matters in the life of nations, internationalism makes its appearance. It is no coincidence that a people, namely the Jews, which does not have any real creative ability, is the carrier of this internationalism. It is the people with the least creative power and talent. It dominates only in the field of crooked and speculative economy. ... The Jew, as a race, has a remarkable instinct of self-preservation, but as an individual he has no cultural abilities at all. He is the demon of the disintegration of nations--the symbol of continual destruction of peoples. If the first of May, therefore, is to have any meaning in the life of peoples, it can be only a glorification of the national, creative idea as against the international idea of decay.

Hitler's Main Aims, Policies and Problems:
- 1. Rebuild the German Economy
- 2. Prepare Germany for War
- In order to achieve this aim the government spent its money in the public sector, it subsidized private firms and ordered rearmament to begin anew.
- o However this led to several problems the biggest one of them being the deficit in the balance of payments (this can be explained by the economic recovery creating an increase demand for German goods and the rearmament caused an increased demand for raw materials combined with protectionism led to the deficit). Furthermore there was a possible consequence of inflation as the money supply was increased due to increased demand.
- The response to these problems were provided through the new policies of the New Plan introduced in 1934 which controlled the currency and bilateral trade agreements furthermore the government controlled wages and prices.
- o The obvious problems with this policy were the importance of the different priorities Schacht, the President of the Reichsbank and later the Economics Minister, wanted to increase exports and slow down the rearmament while Goering (as Hitler) wanted rapid rearmament.
- The response to this was presented through the policy of the Four Year Plan, implemented in 1936. The Plan was meant to prepare for war, to increase domestic production by developing substitutes outside of Germany- in Austria and Czechoslovakia, to increase rearmament and increase government control.
- o The problems created were the rising of prices in 1939 as raw material shortages increased.
- Finally the policies, which prepared for war were; the success of the Blitzkreig in 1939-41 as other countries sought Germany's resources. A Total War Economy with hopes to increase production was attempted in 1942-45.
Hitlers biggest aim was to save Germany from the great economic depression which was raging at the time and which also contributed to the increasing desperation amongst the people and therefore polarization. Hitler also wanted to decrease unemployment and assure that full employment once again reigned in Germany in order to achieve this the main policy that was employed was the spending of money in the public sector (or on public goods). The greatest example of this still stands today, being the Autobahn, a 7,000 km of motorway that decreased unemployment from 6 to 2.5 million in less than 18 months, the unemployed were recruited into what was called the Reich Labor Service. The expansion of heavy industries in order to provide materials for rearmament and military conscription which was reintroduced by Hitler began, these two policies combined led to the unemployed being less than 200,000 by 1939. Economic recovery was achieved through a number of many small policies such as; the destruction of independent unions, subsidies for hiring more workers in the private sector, domestic servants, a growth in jobs in government bureaucracy and the building of homes. Shacht also created the Mefo bills which were issued by the Reichsbank and used by the government to increase expenditure on rearmament as they allowed them to delay their payments.
Germany soon saw that industrial prices were rising and prices of agricultural goods were falling, so a very complex program of legislation was put into place in order to protect and preserve the German peasantry, the peasants were for a long time suspended from paying debts and high tariffs were put on imported agricultural goods. However not all policies adapted by the Germans were effective, for example a law was passed which protected small farms (Entailed Farm Law passed May 1933) and this prevented the creation of large farms which acted as stab in the back for the aims of the German economic policy of self sustainability and self reliance, as the small farms couldn't possibly produce as much as the big ones therefore the prices of many of the food products increased by 50% by 1936.The small farms made up around 35% of all farms and were by law fixed in ownership meaning that now the farmers were tied to their land and made if increasingly difficult for them to get loans form the bank it bit the Nazi ideology in the foot as although they tried to put value on small farmers and protect them this was counter productive in the longer term. It is important to notice just how in-line with the Nazi ideology this policy was, according to the Nazis the Mittelstand (small farmers) were pure 'blood and soil' of the people of Germany and thus the Nazi's wanted to protect them from the threat of big business. However these policies proved to be ineffective to a large extent as stated before they prevented Germany from becoming self sufficient as it made it increasingly difficult for big businesses to start up.
The Four Year Plan was introduced in August of 1936 which again promoted the aim of self sufficiency for Germany especially when it came to agricultural and industrial products, this was to be achieved by an increase in production or the development of substitutes. Thus the plan developed a system of controlling the prices and the distribution of raw materials. The Law for the Protection of the Retail Trade (1933) was one which ensured the safety of the trader against big businesses which was conflicting with Germany's ultimate support of big businesses as it taxed large stores and banned new ones from opening. Overall the Nazi German economy was not concise and foreign currency reserves remained low during that period as well as the persisting deficit of the balance of payments. The plan was meant to prepare Germany for war within 4 years, it had to make Germany self-sufficient and the production of industrial goods and food was done through the policy of autarky. The development of raw materials and machinery was most important for war purposes, this meant that the government intervened in the economy quote heavily by controlling labor, prices... thus it became a planned economy. The two policies of autarky and rearmament were self contradictory as the program of rearmament required a lot of raw materials which Germany could not supply therefore Germany acquired these resources by the newly gained territory through short wars and also aided Germany in acquiring Lebenstraum.
The impact of this was large, Hitler succeeded in putting most of his effort into the rearmament of Germany however the well known debate over guns or butter still rages. 61% of German Gross National Product in 1943 was dedicated to military expenditure which cost 112 RMb that year (out of 184RMb of total GNP). The economic debate of opportunity cost or the option you forego is expressed by the allocation of resources into the production of machinery and raw materials for rearmament and thus taking the resources away from supplying certain foods. Some historians argue that Hitler's regime was not all that powerful and sacrificed too much from consumer goods in order to speed up the rearmament-while others argue he supplied both guns and butter yet the supply of both slowed down the program and made Germany less prepared for war than it could have been (according to Mason, a marxist historian).
(a cartoon illustrating people trying to eat machinery and weapons, it says: Hurray, butter is everything!)
Autarky- signifies economic self reliance, meaning that a country can sustain itself using its own goods and means. Hitler's main aim in this was to increase the production of iron and food and to develop substitute products for example replacing rubber with a fake rubber done from acetylene. Obviously, barely any country can be 100% self reliant thus Germany still was to some extent dependent upon other countries.
Evaluation: Was the Nazi domestic economic policy successful?
The Nazi economic policy was successful in the sense that it completely defeated unemployment and thus was seen by many as entirely successful. However although this made Hitler largely popular amongst the people of Nazi Germany it is important to remember that his policy of rearmament may have hindered development (for example if it were to be combined with a continued development of consumer and export markets). Also complete autarky was never achieved and the rearmament policy was chaotic until Speer put alterations into the system, the Nazi policy did not achieve growth levels as those before 1914 and was ultimately focused on rearmament and war signifying its failure rather than success.
R. Overy, Modern History Review, 1996, p. 11
"Hiter's vision of a powerful militarized economy clearly failed the test of war. Recovery from the Slump had been real enough. But at the point where that recovery might have been used to improve living standards and expand trade...Hitler chose to divert economic development towards massive militarization in a short term gamble that he could create a new political and economic order out of the one which had failed in 1929. In 1946 Germany was once again plunged into poverty and economic stagnation- where Hitler found it in 1933."

Hitler's Main Aims Regarding the Church:
Hitler himself was born a Catholic and Christianity and Naziism shared values which they both deemed as important (such as family life and their common hatred of communism). However Hitler realized that the Church may become an obstacle for his greater vision he wanted to replace the Christian church with a different and new Aryan faith which would reflect the values of an inferior race. He knew however that this cannot be done overnight and therefore begun with the need of a 'positive Christianity', in which he would gain some control through the people in power at the Church to increase his influence upon the Church.
Table illustrating the main Religious organisations in Nazi Germany
|Catholic Church
|Reich Church
|German Christians
|Faith Movement
The Reich Church- This was a part of the Protestant Church, Hitler hoped the German Christians would dominate the Reich Church. However efforts of uniting and creating a state controlled church brought the division of the Confessional Church which broke away.
German Christians- This was a movement which wanted to restructure the Protestantism into a new radical version of Christianity, they wore Nazi-styled uniforms and their slogan was: "The swastika on our breasts and the cross in our hearts." In 1933 they wanted to cleanse out the non-German elements especially the "scapegoat and inferiority theology of Rabbi Paul".
Confessional Church- This church broke away from the Reich Church in 1934, it wanted to defend the Protestant Church against the interference of the state and the false theology of German Christians.
German Faith Movement- This movement wanted to replace Christianity with a pagan Nazi faith, this movement encouraged Germans abandon Christianity and follow their many small rituals. This is a good prediction of what would have happened if Nazi's won WW2.
(another cartoon from 1933 by John Heartfield, it says: "On the foundings of the state Church':The cross wasn't heavy enough yet.")
Nazi Policies & Their Effect
The Nazi policies towards the Church can be divided into three stages. The first stage was the Control stage where the Nazi's wanted to gain as much control over the Church as possible therefore the policies put to use were: The creation of a unified Protestant Reich Church this failed wince the Confessional Church broke away from this movement (as previously mentioned). And the second policy which was to guarantee the Nazi's maximum control was the Concordat agreement with the Pope, its effect at first seemed successful as it granted peaceful relations however later the state infringed the Concordat. The second stage can be called that of Dissolution, the dissolution of the continuity with traditional Christianity. The policies which were to guarantee its success were to firstly make Protestantism more Nazi-like through the use of German Christians, the effect of this policy provoked an increased support for Confessional Church. The second policy was to undermine and reduce the influence of the Catholic Church however this led to large public hostility. The third and final stage was the stage of Substitution, the substitution of Christianity with the 'true Nazi supporting religion'. This was to be achieved through the policy of replacing Christianity with the German Faith Movement, however this stage was never really achieved and was postponed until after the war.
Hitler first attempted to control and induce naziism into the Protestant Church, for example in August 1933 2/3 attending the Prussian synod wore Nazi uniforms. Hitler had hopes of using the German Christians to coordinate the Protestant Churches however the opposition executed a break away movement which created the Confessional Church (not 'anti-Nazi' but pro conservation of of Protestantism from political control). Since Hitler's attempt to create a more Nazi-like unified Protestant Church failed this led to the emergence of three new groups within Protestantism: The Reich Church, the German Christians and the Confessional Church. Since Hitler knew it would be difficult to control the Catholic Church he looked for an agreement policy, therefore in July 1933 the Vatican signed a Concordat with the government promising that it wouldn't intervene with the Nazi policy. From that point on Hitler tried to reduce the influence of the Church in everyday life of the German Volk. The Young were recognized by Hitler as a valuable group to get on the 'nazi side' he encouraged them to join the Hitler Youth and not other Catholic groups, also less stress was put on religion as a subject in schools, the Nazi's also tried to remove the cross from the classroom however failed. In 1935 65% of children attended church school in 1937 only 5% did. An important event to remember is the Church Secession Campaign launched in the 1930's by the Nazi which was to encourage Germans to leave the Church, this had moderate success as in 1937 over 100,000 Christians left the church and in 1939 3.5 million Germans were a part of the pagan movement.
Evaluation of the resistance or collaboration of the Church with Nazi's
According to some historians the church was the only institution which could hold a view different from that of the Nazi's and Hitler and this is why the Nazi's saw the church as their main obstacle. While others may argue that the Church hierarchy wanted to avoid conflict with the regime without the approval of all its policies. The Christian church is said to be unprepared to tolerate and cooperate alongside the Nazi regime even though the church proved its loyalty to Hitler multiple times. Hitler did acknowledge the role of Christianity publicly yet in private he wanted to eliminate it. Then again Naziism and Christianity shared some values like its hatred of communism and importance of family life therefore some Christians supported Naziism. The churches proved to go through a large compromise just to survive the Nazi regime.
Policies regarding Jews
Hitler's hatred of the Jews was central to his ideology and was continuous to a long German history of anti-Semitism. Nazi's believed that the Jews should be excluded from social and political positions of influence, Jewish activity in stockbroking and banking was untouched till 1937. The policies adapted were the Nuremberg Laws and the National Law of Citizenship which outlawed marital and sexual contact between Jews and Aryans. From that point on only Aryan blood entitled one to be a member of the German state. The Nazi policy removed Jews from the country and economy the Decree on Eliminating Jews from General Economic Life made it illegal for them to work in sales or management.

Robert Rodriguez's "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" has gained a new member of its cast. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Dennis Haysbert has joined the "Sin City" sequel and will portray Manute, the massive and deadly nemesis of Dwight. Manute was portrayed by the late Michael Clarke Duncan in "Sin City" and plays a large role in the source material on which "A Dame to Kill For" is based.
"Manute is a character that has been part of the heart of the Sin City tales and the late Michael Clarke Duncan beautifully established that role on screen. We could not tell the story of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For without Manute and are thrilled to welcome Dennis Haysbert to the cast," said Rodriguez and "Sin City" creator Frank Miller in a statement.
Fans know Haysbert best for his portrayal of President David Palmer on "24" and as the longtime spokesman for Allstate. The actor joins "Sin City" alumni Mickey Rourke, Jessica Alba, Jamie King and Rosario Dawson along with newcomer Jamie Chung, who stepped in to replace Devon Aoki as Miho.
"Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" hits theaters October 4, 2013
