Some Things You Should Know Before Reading This Book
We Americans, I have discovered, do not just get our own history wrong. We get everybody else's wrong as well.
Think Nero fiddled while Rome burned? Think Catherine the Great was Russian? Think King Arthur lived in a castle? (Think there really was a King Arthur?) Think Cleopatra was beautiful? Americans think these things are true, but they aren't.
Take almost any famous event of world history, from the Trojan War to World War II. The version we learned in school or at the movies was often cockeyed or bogus.
The plain fact is we have been flimflammed: We have been conned into believing that the pagan barbarians who overran the Roman Empire held civilization in contempt. We have swallowed the old line that English liberty can be traced to the signing of Magna Carta. And we have been duped into believing that the English endured the Blitz with a stiff upper lip.
These are the facts: Most barbarian tribes converted to Christianity, intermarried with the Roman elite, and joined the imperial army to defend the empire from its enemies. Magna Carta gave new rights only to England's powerful barons. And during the Blitz the English complained and were bitter; and many turned to crime.
Much of our history is topsy-turvy. Captain Bligh, a genuine hero, is made out to be a sadistic menace. Edward VIII, an open Nazi sympathizer, is remembered as the noble king who gave up his crown for the love of a woman. Hirohito, an ally of the Japanese militarists, is thought of as the shy marine biologist in glasses who hated war.
It would be going too far to say that our heads are completely filled with lies. It is simply that in manycases history is written by the victors and is filtered through the prism of their prejudices. Take the Spanish Inquisition. Why is it thought to have been one of the lowest, meanest, most reprehensible forums of injustice in human history? Not because it was, but because English Protestants wrote the history books.
Why are the Dark Ages regarded as dark? Because the Renaissance humanists hoped to leave the impression that they had rescued the world from gross ignorance.
Why did historians for so long ignore sex and history? They didn't use to, but Victorian historians took the sex out.
Why is Richard III depicted as a mean hunchback with a withered arm? Because Shakespeare wanted to make Richard's Tudor successors look better by comparison.
I'm asked a lot of times if it isn't a good thing that we have myths. Sure it is. The myths tell us who we are and what values we cherish, and every society has them. And if we didn't have them, some critic somewhere would be sure to say there's something wrong with us for not having myths like other people do.
But if everybody has myths, why bother debunking them? The answer is plain enough: we ought to know the truth about things.
The truth can be painful, but it must be faced. We need to know that Winston Churchill initially wanted to appease Hitler and that Franklin Roosevelt appeased Mussolini. We need to know that German P.O.W.s died by the thousands in American prisons at the end of World War II and that this information was concealed from the public. We need to know that footage in the old newsreels was often faked.
How do you know you can trust me to tell you the truth?
Actually, you shouldn't trust me. Indeed, youshouldn't trust anybody who writes history. We are all full of it. Despite the work of thousands of Ph.D.'s, truth in history is as difficult to ascertain today as it ever was. This is a fact. That's why this book is so valuable. For the author of this book (me) admits that what you have here is my version of the truth. It is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth--as I see it.
Truth, in short, is relative. It is in the eye of the beholder. But in saying this I am not saying there are no facts in history. There are. The Holocaust is a fact. The Americans who said in a recent poll that it's possible the Holocaust did not take place are wrong.*
Much of the stuff in this book, I know, sounds like I made it up. I didn't. The information is in buried the works cited in the source notes.
If the stories I tell seem crazy it is because, as my friend Bernard Weisberger says, life is crazy and people do damn fool things.
Some may think it's absurd to take on the history of the world. It is. But fortunately this book doesn't really cover all of world history, just the world history with which Americans are already familiar. Limiting the book in this way considerably narrows the areas that need to be dealt with.
What Americans mostly know about, of course, is European history, and of European history, what Americans mostly know is English history. There is a simple explanation for this. It was the descendants of the English who first decided what Americans should know about history. Naturally, they tended to favor their own kind.
* According to a 1993 poll conducted by the Roper organization, twenty-two percent of Americans believe it's possible the Holocaust neverhappened; another twelve percent said they did not know if it did.
Part One
Way Back When
Trojan War
Alexander The Great
The Fall Of The Roman Empire
The Barbarians
Trojan War
The myth about the Trojan War is that there was one. There wasn't. At least there wasn't one that we know of. In the thousands of years that have elapsed since Homer's epic appeared, nobody has ever produced any evidence that the war he described took place. All the faithful have going for them is hope. (We don't even know if Homer was real. See below.)
That Troy once existed is true. Indeed, from archaeological evidence unearthed in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries there would appear to have been at least nine Troys piled one atop the other (located in what is now Turkey). But there is no proof there was ever a war between Greece and Troy involving a beautiful queen named Helen, a big wooden horse, or a hero weakened by an Achilles' heel.
Presumably Greeks and Trojans fought each other at one time or another. After all, they were human. And there must have been some reason the Trojans built the huge walls surrounding their city. But there's no archaeological evidence that an army ever planted itself outside the walls of Troy, let alone a huge Greek army that is supposed to have numbered 110,000 soldiers.
Much of the story, at any rate, is patently implausible. That the war lasted ten years is inconceivable; army discipline never could have been maintained that long (no other war at the time is known to have lasted more than a few months). And nobody believes that the Greek soldiers campedout on the beach all those years, their Greek kings right along with them. The business about Helen--that she'd supposedly eloped with a Trojan prince and that the Greeks went to war to get her back--is attractive but unsubstantiated. Besides, it's unlikely she ever would have eloped. FitzRoy Raglan, an expert in world history, reported that he could find "no instance" in history "in which a queen has eloped with a foreign prince, or anybody else."
Anyway, nobody knows if Helen ever even lived. To be sure, tradition has it that the beauty whose face "launched a thousand ships" actually lived and actually served as queen. But tradition also has it that she was the daughter of Zeus and that she was "hatched from a swan's egg."
As for the story of the Trojan Horse, nothing substantiates it. Out of the thousands of objects that have turned up in repeated excavations of Troy, not one lends any credence to the existence of a big wooden horse.
Those who claim the story of Troy is true insist it doesn't matter if some of the details are implausible or unsupported. What counts
"Was there really a valiant little Dutch boy, a protesting Lady Godiva, a fiddling Nero, or a prudish Queen Victoria? No, says Shenkman ….No person, event, or thing is safe from Shenkmans corrections."
Founder of George Mason Universitys History News Network and bestselling author of Presidential Ambition and One Night Stands with American History, Rick Shenkman is an historian, a rebel, and a myth debunker par excellence. In Legends, Lies & Cherished Myths of World History, he explodes some of the most honored and long-held misconceptions about kings and despots, wars and empires, religions, inventions, from the glory days of the Roman Empire to the dark days of World War Two. Fascinating, edifying, and irreverent, here is the real world history you were never taught in school—for history buffs and confirmed trivia fanatics everywhere!
Bestselling author of Legends, Lies & Cherished Myths of American History now takes on the world! Skewering the nonsense we were all taught about the world's revolutions, religions, heroes, and inventors, Legends, Lies & Cherished Myths of World History is a whirlwind tour of history from the Trojan War to World War II. Eclectic and fun, Richard Shenkman's well-documented revelations prove that muck of history is indeed "but a fable agreed upon."
Queen Victoria may have usually worn black, but she loved to drink and party.
During World War II the English were conned into believing it was Winston Churchill who broadcast the speech about this being their finest hour. But it wasn't Churchill, it was Norman Shelley, a radio actor hired as a stand-in.
Marie Antoinette did not say, "Let them eat cake," Churchill didn't coin the phrase "the Iron Curtain," and Caesar never said, "Et tu, Brute?"
Scandal in the English monarchy is nothing new: Fifteen kings fathered children out of wedlock. One queen helped depose her husband so her lover could take his place. Three English kings were gay.

Latest Guantanamo suicide attempts Stories
The U.S. military transferred the first group of detainees on Thursday to a new maximum-security prison at Guantanamo Bay designed to restrict contact among the prisoners and prevent attacks on guards.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Pentagon on Saturday said it transferred five prisoners from Guantanamo Bay to Afghanistan, leaving about 445 detainees at the naval base in Cuba.
By Tim Ahmann WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Fourteen Saudi Arabian nationals held at Guantanamo Bay were sent home on Saturday, two weeks after three suicides at the facility thrust U.S. handling of terrorism suspects back into the spotlight.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Fourteen Saudi Arabian nationals in U.S. custody at the Guantanamo Bay prison for foreign terrorism suspects have been sent home, the Pentagon said on Saturday.
By Will Dunham WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States is sending home the bodies of two Saudis and a Yemeni who it said committed suicide at the U.S. prison for foreign terrorism suspects at Guantanamo Bay, defense officials said on Friday.
By Caren Bohan WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush acknowledged on Wednesday that the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where three detainees committed suicide, has damaged the U.S. image abroad and said it should be shut down.
SANAA (Reuters) - The family of a Yemeni man U.S. officials said killed himself at the military prison camp at Guantanamo Bay denied on Wednesday his death was a suicide, saying he had been murdered. "This idea of suicide is a lie. My son wouldn't commit suicide.

John Henry confirms that John Farrell is headed to Toronto
Oct 24, 2010, 10:28 AM EDT
In an e-mail to the Boston Globe, Red Sox owner John Henry confirmed that John Farrell will be named Blue Jays manager:
"The Jays are getting a great baseball man and a great person,'' Henry wrote in an e-mail to the Globe. "We were able to keep John as a part of our organization longer than a couple of other teams would have wanted, but it really is time for John to step up to the next level.
"He will be an effective, excellent manager. I expect him to manage in MLB for as long as he wants to. He's going to an excellent young team with a strong and smart hierarchy. The Blue Jays are going to be a force in the AL East for some time to come. I am grateful for the years John Farrell gave to the Red Sox. He will be missed.''
According to the Globe, Farrell is expected to be officially introduced as the Blue Jays' new manager tomorrow.
- proudlycanadian - Oct 24, 2010 at 10:37 AM
John Henry realizes that the Jays are an up and coming team. They have a talented young pitching staff combined with some dangerous hitting.
- proudlycanadian - Oct 24, 2010 at 10:50 AM
I would like to see the Jays sign Victor Martinez to play first base and Kerry Wood to be their closer. Buck is a free agent and will be replaced by Arencibia. Downs and Frasor are also free agents and can be replaced internally. All three of these free agents would bring in valuable draft picks if they sign elsewhere.
- professorperry - Oct 24, 2010 at 11:04 AM
I'd like to see the Jays sign Kerry Wood to be their closer, too!
Signed – a Red Sox fan.
- Mark - Oct 24, 2010 at 11:21 AM
I'd rather the Jays save their money for an actual position of need. Lind isn't as bad as his 2010 season. Even if you believe 2009 was a career year, you can split the difference and call him an 830-850 OPS bat. The real question is if he can play 1B for a full season, but I'd be willing to bet he could pull it off.
V-Mart isn't going to do much better than that, so you're paying for name value rather than production. The only option outside of Lind that I want to see at 1B is Berkman, because he'll come on a relatively cheap one year deal to rebuild his value. And if he's healthy, he's got the upside of a 900-1.00 OPS bat.
Wood is someone they should avoid like the plague. You know he won't stay healthy, and his control has continued to get worse.
- JBerardi - Oct 24, 2010 at 1:14 PM
But I thought this whole thing was a creation of Peter Gammons and the Boston media….
- proudlycanadian - Oct 24, 2010 at 3:45 PM
It was. This time he was right although he did back track slightly. Next time! Who knows?
As far as Wood is concerned, he was terrific with the Yankees.
- JBerardi - Oct 24, 2010 at 7:10 PM
Huh? How was it a "creation of Peter Gammons and the Boston media" if it was TRUE? Next time, I'll trust what Gammons says, since he's an extremely reliable source of information.
- proudlycanadian - Oct 24, 2010 at 7:27 PM
The Jays have said nothing yet. It looks as if the Red Sox leak like a sieve. See if the Jays ever trust them again.

Bugatti Type 57S Atalante (57502)
The Bugatti Type 57S Atalante number 57502 is one of a batch of rare French sports coupes built in 1937 by the Bugatti company, a version of the Bugatti Type 57. Of the 710 Type 57 cars built, only 43 were Type 57S and only 17 of those were produced with the in-house Bugatti Atalante coupe coachwork (not to be confused with the Type 57 Atlantic body).
The car with chassis number 57502 (registration EWS 73, ex-DYK 5, ex-works-1127-W5)[2][3] was rediscovered in 2008 having been stored in a private owner's garage in Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne, England, for 48 years, with few people aware of its location. Described as "one of the last great barn discoveries" by classic car experts, it was sold at auction by Bonhams on 7 February 2009. Set at a reserve price of £3 million, due to its low mileage and original condition, it was speculated that it could become the most expensive car ever sold at auction, at around £6 million.[4] These hopes were dashed, however, as it reached £2,989,495 (US$4,408,575).
The car was bought originally by the 5th Earl Howe in 1937 who owned it for eight years. It passed to three intermediate owners before being bought in 1955 by Harold Carr, from Newcastle upon Tyne.[4] He drove it for a few years, then locked it in his garage in 1960, where it was discovered by his family after his death in 2007.
Chassis number 57502 was completed at the Bugatti works on 5 May 1937, wearing the works number plate 1127-W5,[3] and then wore the British number plate DYK 5,[2] later being re-registered as EWS 73, the number which it wore on rediscovery. When discovered, 57502 still possessed its original chassis, engine, drive train and body. It had an odometer reading of 26,284 miles (42,300 km), described as "remarkably low". While mostly original, the car as found in 2008 did contain some modifications from the originals. Dating from bespoke modifications made by Earl Howe, the car possessed unique bumpers, rear-view mirrors on the A-pillars, and a luggage rack. In addition, due to the fitting of a Marshall K200 supercharger while it was owned by Mr J P Tingay, the car was with respect to engine power closer to the retrofitted super-charged types, (although the K200 is not the same supercharger used on the original C or SC models however).
According to James Knight of the Bugatti's future auctioneer Bonhams, the rediscovered Bugatti "is incredibly original and, although she requires restoration, it is "restoration" in the true sense of the word...save for some of the interior, all original parts can be restored or conserved in order to maintain originality".[5]
Ownership history[edit]
The car was ordered new from Bugatti by Francis Curzon (1884–1964), the 5th Earl Howe, a former Naval officer and British politician. He took delivery of it on 9 June 1937 from Sorel of London, the UK agents for Bugatti. Curzon was a keen motor racing enthusiast, racing several times in the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race, winning the 1931 race, and the first president of the British Racing Drivers' Club (BRDC).
The Bugatti was then sold via Continental Cars to a Mr J P Tingay in 1947. A Mr M H Ferguson acquired the Bugatti from Tingay in 1950 and by 1954 it formed part of the collection of Lord Ridley of Northumberland.
In April 1955 Harold Carr paid Jack Barclays £895 for the car ($2,500 US), but drove it for only a few years. Dr Carr then stored the car in a lock up garage after its last tax disc expired in December 1960, where it remained unused and untouched.
Harold Carr[edit]
Harold "Harry" Carr was born in Newcastle in 1917, and died on 14 June 2007, aged 89.[6] Carr gained both medical and engineering degrees, and had worked both as an orthopaedic surgeon and an osteopath, and ran a family wholesalers business in Newcastle, JJ Macy's.[6] He was described as "generous", "eccentric" and a sort of "mad doctor" by his family. The life of Dr Carr was compared with that of eccentric American millionaire Howard Hughes, due to a passion for machinery, aviation and adventuring, and also due to suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), which in later life turned him into a recluse.[6] The reasons for Carr storing the car unused for so long was attributed to a hoarding instinct which he had developed and had progressively worsened since the 1950s, due to his OCD.[6] In addition to the Bugatti, the hoarding had led to Carr collecting everything from receipts for pencils to 1,500 German beer steins.[6][7] His hoarding instinct also meant that the documentary history of the car had been preserved.
The car had been stored in a garage in Gosforth.[1] In his later life, Carr's OCD had caused him to become a recluse. After his death, while clearing the garage of his uncle's possessions in 2008, the nephew discovered the Bugatti in the lock up garage, along with a "treasure trove" of cars including a classic Aston Martin and a Jaguar E-type. The Aston was sold while the Jaguar was scrapped due to its condition.[8] According to the nephew, notes found in the garage showed that some people had previously inquired about the car, and had even visited Mr Carr in attempts to buy it from him. According to James Knight of the car's future auctioneer Bonhams, had stated on its discovery, "I have known of this Bugatti for a number of years and, like a select group of others, hadn't dared divulge its whereabouts to anyone." Friends who knew Dr. Carr were reported to have stated that Carr would have known the true value of the car, and that he would never answer the door to collectors who called on him in person, and they would resort to writing offers on notes for neighbours to post through his letter box.[9]
Being unmarried and having no children, Carr left his possessions to his nieces and nephews. Other family members had been aware that Dr. Carr had possessed the Bugatti and other cars, but the true value of the car had remained unknown to them, coming as a surprise.
The Carr family instructed the auction house Bonhams to sell the car, with the proceeds to be shared between eight relatives who inherited his estate.[10] It was to form the centrepiece of their sale at the Rétromobile car show in Paris, and be sold on 7 February 2009.[11]
Analysts speculated that the car could sell as high as £6 million, which would have made it the most expensive car ever sold at auction. As of 2005 six of the most expensive cars sold for over £3 million, with the most expensive, a 1931 Bugatti Royale Kellner Coupe sold for £4.87 million in 1987, holding the record for the most expensive car sold at auction, adjusted for inflation.[7][12] While the car would attract global buyers, opinions were varied in November 2008 as to whether the classic car auction market had been affected by the 2008 recession affecting the United Kingdom economy.[13]
When it came to auction three months later the Carr Bugatti had a reserve price of £3 million, which it failed to meet, falling just short at £2,989,495 (3,417,500 euros, US$4,408,575).[14]
Since the discovery of 57502 other less desirable Type 57S Atalantes have been said to sell for millions in recent years. An Atalante which did not have its original chassis, but was built by combining an Atalante body on a Type 57C chassis, was sold at auction in 2007 for $852,500, from a top estimate of $400,000.[15]

GM studies driver attention in semi-autonomous cars

General Motors researchers, such as Innovation Program Manager Jeremy Salinger, are studying driver behavior in semi-autonomous driving situations (Photo: GM)
Article Summary
GM is looking at ways in which semi-autonomous driving technologies, which could be available in production vehicles by mid-decade, will influence driver behavior. Because the technologies set to be introduced in the coming years are designed to lighten the driver's load in certain circumstances but aren't advanced enough to let them "tune out" completely, GM is attempting to ascertain which technologies will help ensure the safety of vehicles with future autonomous systems.

Drug War Crimes
Recorded: Thursday, May 6, 2004
Each year, the U.S. government spends over $30 billion on the drug war and arrests more than 1.5 million people on drug-related charges. Currently more than 318,000 people are behind bars in the U.S. for drug violationsmore than the number of people incarcer-ated for all crimes in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain combined. Have current drug laws deterred drug abuse and reduced crime? What are the real costs of this countrys war on drugs? Is there a link between the homicide rate and the amount of resources given to drug prohibition? Please join us as Boston University economist Jeffrey Miron (author of the major new book, Drug War Crimes) and former San Jose police chief, Joseph McNamara, examine these questions and explore real alternatives to Americas War on Drugs.

John Stossel | Confessions of a Media Maverick
Recorded: Friday, January 30, 2004
When pioneering television journalist John Stossel joined ABC-TV's "20/20" in 1981, his peers and an admiring public hailed him as a crusading consumer reporter. His hard-hitting, in-your-face exposes of con artists and corporate liars and crooks won him 19 Emmys and an avid following. But, could the use of government power and the Nanny State be the biggest scam of all?
In his new book, Give Me a Break, Stossel takes on a herd of sacred cows and examines how in the name of the "public interest," ambitious politicians and bureaucrats, intellectually lazy and opportunistic reporters, scaremongers, and predatory lawyers make life worse, especially for those most disadvantaged.
In this event John Stossel explained how his investigations of government waste, fraud and abuse; welfare for the rich; victimless crimes; self-serving interest groups; and sensationalist-media hyping (while ignoring real risks) reveal the crucial need to protect the civil and economic liberties of all people.
John Stossel, author of Give Me a Break. is co-anchor of ABC's "20/20." He also hosts ABC's "John Stossel Specials" for ABC television and radio, and ABCNews.com. In addition to having received 19 Emmy Awards, he has been honored five times for excellence in consumer reporting by the National Press Club. Among his other awards are the George Polk Award for Outstanding Local Reporting and the George Foster Peabody Award.
David J. Theroux is Founder and President of the Independent Institute.

USB host controller gone missing

For some unknown reason all my USB ports have stopped working and when I look in device manager I find the reference to USB host controller missing, and all my USB devices have a yellow exclamation mark.Have tried scf / scannow as seen in replies to similar problems from other people but negative result. Have looked at websites that supposedly supply free replacement drivers but in the end they ask for payment. Have also tried the "Fix-it" service from Microsoft but seems a waste of time.
Would appreciate suggestions in simple terms. Thanks.

O.K. have downloaded and installed motherboard drivers and got the found new hardware and your hardware is ready for use , except that it isn't.
Now the problem seems to be with the Microsoft drivers , so have uninstalled and re-installed twice but still get the yellow exclamation marks despite the green ticks in the driver details box .
Have looked on my original XP installation disc but can't find USB drivers anywhere , went on a website that identified the drivers as faulty , but wanted payment to download replacements . mmm... what next?

After trawling through Microsoft's tech. support pages I have found this was caused by me using a non certified , non compliant make of pocket flash drive , which shut down all usb ports.It is supposed to correct itself if withdrawn and rebooted but in my case it does not. Well at least now I know , but what use is Windows with no usb ports ? Good job I've still got an LPT port for my printer.

Thanks for that Terry , but I've tried most things.
According to Microsoft the make of flash drive I bought ( from a supermarket ) suffers from a problem called " babble " so Windows shuts all the usb ports as a safety measure. It's supposed to recover after reboot , but unfortunately mine didn't. C'est la vie .

Just a thought.
Uninstall the software completly.
Open the Compabitity wizard (Easiest way -from help type in compatability and click on blue type)
Try loading the CD in a different setup- e.g win 2000 to see if it makes a difference

Errrr.. I'm afraid you've lost me a bit there Terry , what software ? The flash drives these days don't come with any , and rely on XP to sort it out when first plugged in. The other makes of flash drives I have all did this and work fine in my laptop . No , I think it's just this particular flash drive with a documented problem ( cheap imports ) so I'll chuck it in the bin and if I need anything that requires usb access I'll use my laptop . Very much appreciate the suggestions . cheers .

The software would the drivers who set up the computer you or someone else i.e. the company that made the computer. If someone else did they would have to have provided the drivers disk.
However i remember a laptop i had, xp home, there was a note saying that i should right click on the yellow question marks and follow the instructions, the xp home disc had the drivers.
so try inserting the disk and do a right click on the hardware section in my computer it might work
right click on my computer and click on hardware and scroll down usb host right click and see what it says

You must be confused re subject's grave. I located subj grave, took photo & uploaded the photo a long time ago. Ref my msg dtd Dec. 8, 2014. Her grave is located in Sec T, Lot 96 at Paris Cem. In one msg I said I would look about location of graves at Millersburg Cem. Maybe that's where you got mixed up on my need for a grave location.

I haven't had much success in finding graves at Millersburg. Like you, I can get a grave number & section, but you have to walk it down & may never find it. A small stone is fairly cheap. They are very reasonable on their prices at the Maysville Monument Works. Best to check with Millersburg re their policy on who can set one. Wish you success.

Up until now I hadn't realized the combat was turn based. Now I'm interested!
Reminds me of some other mafia sim-ish game that I played before but the combat was real time and it was unwiedly and hard to manage as a result. This is perfect.
"I'm Funny how? Funny like a fucking clown? I amuse you? Well TAKE THESE HIT POINTS MOTHERFUCKER!"
I wanna see some bat vs knife fights in this game.
This reminds me of Gangsters 2: Vendetta. That game was unreasonably difficult.
This game is from the 'olden time'.
Reminds me of Gangland, awesome.
As long as I can name my character Nucky Thompson I'll be happy...Also there needs to be a Richard Harrow!
This game kind of fell off the radar in the last few months. Glad to see it kind of back with some more videos. Can't wait for this game. It looks so good.

Rs. 36 lakh for building; Rs. 11 lakh to be spent on equipment and manpower
Underprivileged children with disabilities can benefit from free early intervention, crucial to the development of special children, with the first Regional Resource Training Centre in Tamil Nadu outside Chennai slated to come up in Tiruchi.
The Regional Resource Centre, an initiative under the District Differently Abled Welfare (DDAW) office, will cater to persons with various developmental disabilities and disorders from poor families, through partnerships with organisations and special schools active in the field.
The centre had been allocated Rs. 36 lakh for the construction and additional Rs. 11 lakh for material, equipment, and staff salaries, according to official sources.
Day care
The centre accords priority to mentally ill persons with an exclusive day care centre listed among the four programmes to be implemented in the resource centre.
The day care centre entrusted to ATHMA Mind Centre will provide medical care, therapy, and occupational therapy to keep them gainfully employed, said Ramakrishnan, director, ATHMA.
The day care centre, which functions in another location, offers a stipend as an incentive to persons with mental illness.
A full-time counsellor will be available during the working hours of the resource centre to counsel persons with mental, emotional, and psychiatric problems.
While early intervention for autism has been entrusted to the Dolphin Special School, early intervention for multiple disabilities will be attended to by the Blossom Special School.
Both the government-funded programmes are functioning from the respective schools till the resource centre is ready.
The programme intends to reach children aged between two and six with autism or multiple disabilities such as impairment in vision, speech, movement. and mental faculties.
Early diagnosis and intervention can bring about a significant difference in behaviour of the children and help speed up mainstreaming them into regular schools, says Praveena, director, Dolphin Special School.
The selected organisations will work on speech therapy, better social skills, improving self-reliance, and improved cognition.
Children enrolled in these programmes have been identified from balwadis, referred from government hospitals, and the district differently abled welfare office. After intervention, these children might be roped in by special schools, said an officer.
While the present quota allows 10 students in the early intervention programme, more children could be enrolled over the years. At present, two special educators and a caretaker have been appointed.
The services of a physiotherapist and more teachers might be felt soon as the programme expands, as special children require individual attention, says a teacher.
The welfare office had not been lucky in acquiring land for the new centre.
As a last resort, the centre might come up as an additional floor or extension to the existing DDAW office on the court premises.
The proposal was awaiting clearance by the Public Works Department.

My dog got a pouch of these as a gift! She is picky (and, yes, has a sensitive tummy!).
My dog ate these right up, had no gas (etc.) afterwards, and really seemed to enjoy them.
It's somewhat fun to share the yummy-ness of cookies 'n cream with my dog! I know I like that flavor combination! :-)

Omega mk X ground weapon (effects as intended?)
Just tried out the omega mk x gun on sfa event and i find it odd that the effect isnt really seen as in i shoot but its like instant hit i cant see the bullet effectively travel well not very well its weird this is the only gun that i have noticed this on. Maybe its by design that you dont get to see the gun fire very much and that the muzzle flash seems to go to the left side of my character a bit.
Anyhow if maybe someone at cryptic can have a peek and play around with the gun could they or someone tell me if its working ok because im a bit disappointed i cant see the fire effects of it very well i.e coming from me to the enemy im shooting at as it just seems to not do that for me.
Edit - Tried to capture the weirdness of it with screenies but its hard lol. Best i can do below.
Very blocky effect and too much black on the shots as well it just doesnt look like what i think it should be so im wondering if its buggy effect or not or was it suppose to look like this.

The 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard, a gay student at the University of Wyoming, put a spotlight on hate crimes targeting homosexuals. A pair of men posing as gay bargoers kidnapped and tortured Shepard, beating him into a coma. He was alive when a cyclist found him, but later died of brain damage suffered during the attack.
The two suspects, who were convicted, tried to use "gay panic" as part of their defense.
Shepard's murder has inspired lawmakers in Washington, who have spent years trying to pass measures aimed at strengthening existing federal hate crime laws to make it easier to prosecute crimes based on sexual orientation bias. The bill, officially called the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2007, is also known as the Matthew Shepard Act. Versions of the bill have passed both the House and Senate, but the bias provisions were dropped during conference.
Hate crime laws exist in all 50 states, but vary from state to state and do not all include crimes based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

With Revitalash I noticed it was a long time before anything actually started to happen, and by then my lashes which had been 'lilash-ed' had started to fall out and be replaced by shorter ones, which then took around 7 weeks to regrow and start getting long again. I did find this a bit odd as I had just assumed it would continue the lengthening that the Lilash treatment had already done and actually improve upon them rather than wait for those to grow out and then start again. So if you have already used Lilash this is a point to note.
After three months usage my lashes are definitely longer and thicker than when I did not use any lash enhancing products, especially the central lashes. I still have not entirely used up my tube and it has been 3 months so it is good value for money.
In comparison with Lilash I will have to say that I prefer Lilash despite the expense, my lashes were longer and my eyelids did not go red which are two good reasons for me to stick with the Lilash.
Wahandaat the moment.
Verdict - If you don't use any lash enhancing products and want longer thicker lashes and want to try something that isn't as expensive then definitely give this a go. If you have been spoilt by Lilash however you might not get as long lashes with Revitalash.
So I am currently on the lookout for a new lash lengthening product to try, Jan Marini or Maybe L'oreal? Or maybe Talika or Mavala? I am not currently sure so any recommendations or requests let me know.
On another note I saw my lovely friend Jo's post about Wahanda and went to take a look at the site and I found a couples spa day, featuring two treatments each and use of the spa facilities at Brands Hatch hotel (so not too far from me) for £99!! So you should give this a look if you like spa treatments as that is amazing, its 50% off the retail price. I am still trying to convince Matt that having a spa treatment doesn't make you a girl, so hopefully we can take up this offer at some point soon.
Have you ever been to a day spa with your partner? What did you think?
