Nestled on the eastern edge of Highland Park's bustling Central Avenue among other trendy boutiques is Ooh-La-La, a small shop that's big on style and service. Located in the historic Highland Park Movie Theatre Building, in a space previously dedicated to a millinery shop during the 30's and 40's, proprietor and designer Lisa Farrell interprets the art of millinery with a modern eye. This tres chic boutique feels like a Parisian millinery salon complete with draped velvet curtains, an elegant chaise lounge and an ornate vintage mirror. By far the most dramatic element of the salon is the wall lined with old hat blocks – a true mark of craftsmanship seldom seen in department stores. Beautifully handcrafted women's hats are displayed in small vignettes throughout the intimate salon. These one-of-a-kind couture creations are wonderfully detailed with frothy feathers, sumptuous fabrics, vintage beading or another well-crafted trim.

Our Academic Program
Degree Programs
New College is also engaged in cross-cutting initiatives to further enhance student learning. These include Seminars in Critical Inquiry, Academic Learning Compacts, the Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education, and an Assessment of Senior Thesis to Improve Teaching and Learning.
Seminars in Critical Inquiry emerged in response to the SACS requirement for a five-year Quality Enhancement Plan. These content-rich seminars for first and second year students focus on critical writing and revision, and academic research skills. Dr. Michelle Barton is the Director of this project which began in 2009 and will be reviewed by SACS in 2014.
Academic Learning Compacts are available for each Area of Concentration. The Academic Learning Compacts list expected learning outcomes with particular emphasis on critical thinking, communication, and content knowledge. They include measures used to track student progress, measures that will demonstrate each graduate's competencies, and corroboration of these competency measures.
New College partnered with six other colleges in a five-year project to "Assess the Senior Thesis to Improve Teaching and Learning." All seven colleges require some or all of their undergraduate students to complete a senior thesis or project. The partnership began in 2009 and will conclude in 2014. A thesis assessment rubric has been developed and participating colleges are sharing best practices and solutions to common challenges.
New College is participating in a longitudinal study of the 2008 entering cohort called the Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education. Students in this cohort voluntarily completed the same assessments three times: during first year orientation, during their second semester, and during their 4th year spring semester. The assessments cover liberal arts learning outcomes, high-impact learning experiences, and time spent preparing for classes. Results from New College students can be compared with the national results from both small colleges and large universities.

Who are you? If you do more, does that make you more?
It is so easy to fall into the busy-ness fallacy, writes Pastor Kim Krogstad in the April newsletter of All Saints Lutheran Church of Oshkosh.
"There's plenty of marketing executives who are willing to give you that message on a daily basis," she writes. "If you just buy this, or do that, or try this, or change that, your life will be instantly improved to the extent of the airbrushed models on the page or on the screen." ...

Vertical migration of phytoplankton in coastal waters with different UVR transparency
1 Institute of Hydraulic Engineering, Hydraulic Laboratory, Pfaffenwaldring 61, University of Stuttgart, 70569 Stuttgart, Germany
2 Institute of Biosciences, Aquatic Ecology, Albert-Einstein Street 3, University of Rostock, 18051 Rostock, Germany
Environmental Sciences Europe 2011, 23:36 doi:10.1186/2190-4715-23-36Published: 25 November 2011
The vertical migration of phytoplankton was investigated in natural waters using in situ fluorescence profiling, chlorophyll a concentrations and life counts at two study sites differing in coloured dissolved organic matter (cDOM) concentrations. The data from the corresponding water depths (50-cm intervals down to 10 m) and times (hourly, before dawn to sunset, several days) were related to the highly resolved (2 nm) underwater ultraviolet radiation (UVR)/photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) transparency (290 to 700 nm).
Chlorophyll a maxima of mainly motile dinoflagellates were observed in situ at all days and at both study sites (open marine, brackish waters), independent on prevailing weather conditions or cDOM concentrations. Phytoplankton migration was triggered solely by irradiance in the 400- to 700-nm wavelength range (PAR) at the particular water depth, irrespective of PAR/UVR ratios and surface UVR (290 to 400 nm), after an illumination period of about 40 min. Interestingly, the PAR tolerance levels of the phytoplankton, which have been lower in cDOM-rich waters, matched their light acclimation values determined by parallel PAM measurements.
The response of the phytoplankton to PAR is not a sufficient protection strategy versus increasing UVR levels, which might have wide ecological implications beyond the level of primary producers to impact important ecosystem functions such as the delicate trophic interactions.

How Not to Practice Buddhism or Chant Odaimoku
I have written before on being asked the question "how should I chant" or "what should I chant for". These seem to be questions practitioners frequently struggle with as they practice the Lotus Sutra.
Some people come to Nichiren Buddhism from an organization that teaches that there is a certain amount of time that needs to be spent chanting or that somehow if we chant enough we can have any prayer fulfilled and it will always work.
I work as a hospital chaplain and I have seen enough prayers by people to know that no matter how much people pray death cannot be avoided. There is no amount of chanting or wishing or hoping that will allow us to live without dying; not even if we chant billions of Odaimoku. We cannot escape certain unavoidable outcomes. What we can do though is to be better prepared for living and experiencing the joy of life.
Today I want to share some ways which of approaching our practice that are actually harmful to the very thing we are engaging in; seeking enlightenment.
One harmful way is to think of our practice as a burden we mush endure. Chanting should never be a burden, that isn't to say there won't be times when it is difficult to do. There is a difference though in something being hard or challenging and something being a real pain in the ass. At those moments when you may be challenged in such a way, try to cultivate an attitude of gratitude. Remember how rare it is to be able to practice the Lotus Sutra and to attain enlightenment.
"The Buddhas, the Tathagatas, expound this Wonderful Dharma as rarely as the udumbara-flower blooms. Sariputra! Believe what I am going to say! My words are not false." (Lotus Sutra, Chapter II)
Another harmful way to approach our practice is with greed for results, expecting things will happen and happen fast and exactly as we expect them. Usually in this way of practicing we are 'convinced' that the problem to be solved is something outside ourselves and if would only be fixed everything will be great. Though sometimes it may be that we expect to become enlightened on our own terms and in our own rushed, hurried, and impatient way. Can you see some of the problem with that? There is actually something to work on within ourselves that we are trying to avoid. There is always plenty to work on within that will produce significant results in the environment outside ourselves.
"The world of that Buddha will be the purest. Anyone will be happy to see it." (Lotus Sutra, Chapter VI)
Another way that his harmful when we practice is to think that we are 'champions' of practice. That we will chant more than anyone else that we will practice harder than anyone else and that somehow all of that will manifest in a life that is better than others. We may even think that chanting and practice is a competitive activity and that if we win the 'gold' of chanting the most we have won the prize. Consider though, if you will, who are we in competition with? Who else is there to hold up as a standard for achievement, especially if we are not ourselves fundamentally happy.
"They are occupied with greed and cravings, and blinded by them. They do not seek the Buddha who has great power." (Lotus Sutra, Chapter II)
Another harmful way to approach our practice of chanting and practicing the Lotus Sutra is with an expectation that we will be magically transformed and no longer experience the sufferings of being human. When we practice from a point of view that says we are somehow better than those who don't practice, or that somehow our practice will shield us from the everyday problems of life we delude ourselves at great peril, and risk to our understanding of the truth and real reason for practicing Buddhism; which is to attain enlightenment as common ordinary people.
"What are the proper practices the Bodhisattva-mahasattva should perform? He should be patient, mild and meek. He should not be rash, timorous, or attached to anything. He should see things as they are. He should not be attached to his non-attachment to anything. Nor should he be attached to his seeing things as they are. These are the proper practices the Bodhisattva-mahasattva should perform." (Lotus Sutra, Chapter XIV)
I hope that as we begin this New Year we can all examine our attitude to practice, our mind, our seeking nature, and make corrections as necessary to ensure that we are able to attain the enlightenment of the Buddhas.

Nissan Primera reviews by year of make: 1992 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 Read all reviews
I bought an 04 Primera 1.8 SE Hatchback and ran it for 4 years and covered 75,000 miles before it was written off by two lunatics racing on a dual carriageway. Over the 4 year period of running the car other than servicing it every 8,000 miles and a set of boots (tyres) it cost me £0 and went through all of its MoT's without advisories. The car ran and drove excellently and without fault from day one to the day it was written off and never let me down once thus I have no gripes and nothing but praise for the vehicle which drives like a big car, has a safe feel to it and returned me 40+mpg. Thus flowing from the sad loss of what can only be described as a "great value for money" car I had to get another so I have now replaced it with a mint 06 Primera 1.8 SX Hatchback with the added Cruise, Sat Nav, bluetooth, etc, etc.

I bought this car nearly new (ex-demonstrator). I had many problems from day one - annoying rattles (loose dashboard) and squeaks (turned out the rear bumper mountings were loose due to threaded bolts, presumably at manufacture), automatic headlight aiming faults (so bad that approaching drivers were stopping), black smoke, poor mpg, weird electrical faults to do with the steering column cabling, EGR needed replacing The dealers in Guildford (Bishops) cannot be recommended; I have even been advised by them that it was ok to drive a diesel if you mistakenly put petrol in it. Then the turbo failed within the first year. It was replaced under warranty, but it failed again in 2011 and I had to pay through the nose for that one (£800 for a reconditioned turbo). About 2010 the engine started hunting on cold idle, then hunting on warm idle. Then it developed massive loss of power and hesitation problem, sometimes stopping dead, culminating in being a complete non-starter - needed a new suction control valve (£400). This car is not a genuine Nissan - it was built in Sunderland and half of it is Renault (it's mostly these bits that fail). A pig of a car. Don't buy Nissan in the UK - they're not Japanese.

I have done 40,000 miles in 12 months with this car. No problems whatsoever. Zero cost apart from petrol. Best most reliable car I have ever owned. Everyone I speak to about it says "well what do you expect it is a Nissan". Would defo buy Nissan again but I'm on no rush to change mine.

This car is the shame of the today's automobile! Its behaviour in soft turns over 100km/h is a disaster and if you have a light side wind it can become really dangerous. In high speed, if the road is not perfect, its aerodynamic together with the soft suspension make your heart beat real fast. I have worked in car rental for years and driven almost every car and I can say only this: it's the worst car in behaviour and not only in its category! Only Kia's are worse and just then some of them. Car may be reliable and comfortable and but that's not enough to make a car good.
Responses to this review
No idea what the previous reviewer is talking about. I have had a 95 model from new and it's now pushing 70,000 miles. Never had any problems at all with it and it is stable at speed and in crosswinds. I have driven many other vehicles that do not handle anywhere near as well as the Primera - Andy Needs from Cardiff
I agree, I bought one out of Japan "used", doing about 18,000km. I drove the car to 70,000km with $0.00 in repairs, my only expense being the changing of engine and txm fluids. My average speed on the highway would be 160-180km/hr and the vehicle handled really well,and cornered really well. Maybe the driver that complained about the handling probably running on some crappy tyres. Other than that, his comments just don't add up. My only problem with the unit is that I wished it had some more horses, maybe 225-250hp would have set me right - from Trinidad and Tobago

Darren O'Day pitches, Chris Davis homers at Triple-A Round Rock
HOUSTON – RHP Darren O'Day pitched 1.1 scoreless innings for Triple-A Round Rock on in his fifth injury rehab outing Tuesday. O'Day allowed a hit and struck out two while throwing 15 of 20 pitches for strikes.
The question now is if this outing, the first time he's gone more than an inning, is enough to get him back to the majors. The Rangers likely want to see how he recovers from having to sit through an at-bat before going back to the mound. The earliest he would likely be activated from the DL is Thursday.
Also, at Round Rock, OF Chris Davis hit two more homers in the 12-9 win over Oklahoma City. It gives Davis 19 home runs in 32 games for the Express, including nine homers in his last 11 games. Davis is hitting .374 at Triple-A.

Burma / Myanmar or Laos ?

I will be going to SEA at next december for between 3 and 4 weeks. Having never been there I'm not sure where to go. Some time will be spent at the beginning of the trip in Thailand (a couple of days in Bangkok and then a couple of days at the end at the beach to wind down the trip). Otherwise I am trying to decide between countries. I am very much aware I may be rushing too much but I also know that I will not get back to SEA for a long time so need to find a balance. Thinking about the following:
12 days in Burma / Myanmar
4 or 5 days in either Cambodia to around Angkor Wat, or 4-5 days in Vietnam around Halong Bay/ Hanoi.
1 week in Laos
5 days in Cambodia (Angkor Wat Region)
5 days in Vietnam (Halong Bay / Hanoi)
Does anyone have any recommendations. Would you recommend Myanmar or Laos. If you think I should cut out a country would is would you recommend Angkor Wat or Halong Bay more?
As a traveller I prefer a mix of everything so this prob won't be too helpful - culture, natural beauty, just wandering the streets, speaking to locals and soaking up a place, but some must see sites as well of course would be good.
Any recommendations for where to go and comparisons between places would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I've not been to Burma so can't comment on that part of your question, but I would say if you're only going to Cambodia to see Angkor Wat then 3-4 days, rather than 4-5 should be sufficient (I'm assuming you're flying in and out here). I'd give the extra days to Hanoi, maybe scrape one day off Burma, giving you 7-8 in total. With that long you could spend 3 in Hanoi, 2 on Ha Long Bay and 2 in Sapa -- that would give you a better spread.
With your second option, I'd drop one country and spend a better length in the other two.
There is a lot more to Cambodia than Angkor Wat but getting arround can be time consuming.
Another option, rather than hitting the Thai islands at the end, would be to consider the developing island scene in Cambodia. Here are a couple of stories you may find of help:

Thanks very much somtam2000 for the helpful advice!
Assuming you have been to Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand, do you have a favourite and why? I think if I choose option 2 I would want to go to Laos, so I would probably need to choose between Vietnam or Cambodia.

hi buddy,
2 days in Burma / Myanmar
GK: nice country to look around. but there is no way for you to pass the border from burma to any neighboring countries
4 or 5 days in either Cambodia to around Angkor Wat, or 4-5 days in Vietnam around Halong Bay/ Hanoi.
GK : to look around Angkor Wat, u need a minimum of 3 days. / as for Vietnam - I never been there
1 week in Laos
5 days in Cambodia (Angkor Wat Region)
5 days in Vietnam (Halong Bay / Hanoi)
GK : Good decision. but take note, u need to spend at least a day or two if you gonna travel via bus / train from one country to another.

If you wish to come Myanmar in December, it's good time to come. But one thing,most of the land price are quite high at that period. You can visit around Myanmar with public transportation and stay at small guest house.
4 or 5 Days in Myanmar is quite enough to touch Myanmar Culture and Beauty.

Why not just do Cambodia this time around? Someday - a long time away - you can do Halong bay and maybe then Burma will be more travel friendly. rushing defeats the point of coming here really.

Full agreement with madmac, just finished a month in Cambodia, could have used three times that. Same goes for the other countries you mentioned too.

Don't try to squeeze in too many places into 3 or 4 weeks, or you'll spend an awful lot of your time on long, uncomfortable bus rides, and you won't be able to get a feel for any of the places.
If you only have such limited time I would suggest sticking with Thailand, Laos and Cambodia. Each country has so much to see that if you try to do any more your experience will be somewhat superficial. Myanmar and Vietnam are more complicated due to visa requirements etc., whereas the other 3 you can just arrive at any border and enter the country without prearranging anything.
With a week and a half in Cambodia and Lao plus a few days in Bangkok you will get to see the 'highlights' but not much more.

Prince Hamlet is depressed. Having been summoned home to Denmark from school in Germany to attend his father's funeral, he is shocked to find his mother Gertrude already remarried. The Queen has wed Hamlet's Uncle Claudius, the dead king's brother. To Hamlet, the marriage is "foul incest." Worse still, Claudius has had himself crowned King despite the fact that Hamlet was his father's heir to the throne. Hamlet suspects foul play.
When his father's ghost visits the castle, Hamlet's suspicions are confirmed. The Ghost complains that he is unable to rest in peace because he was murdered. Claudius, says the Ghost, poured poison in King Hamlet's ear while the old king napped. Unable to confess and find salvation, King Hamlet is now consigned, for a time, to spend his days in Purgatory and walk the earth by night. He entreats Hamlet to avenge his death, but to spare Gertrude, to let Heaven decide her fate.
Hamlet vows to affect madness — puts "an antic disposition on" — to wear a mask that will enable him to observe the interactions in the castle, but finds himself more confused than ever. In his persistent confusion, he questions the Ghost's trustworthiness. What if the Ghost is not a true spirit, but rather an agent of the devil sent to tempt him? What if killing Claudius results in Hamlet's having to relive his memories for all eternity? Hamlet agonizes over what he perceives as his cowardice because he cannot stop himself from thinking. Words immobilize Hamlet, but the world he lives in prizes action.
In order to test the Ghost's sincerity, Hamlet enlists the help of a troupe of players who perform a play called The Murder of Gonzago to which Hamlet has added scenes that recreate the murder the Ghost described. Hamlet calls the revised play The Mousetrap, and the ploy proves a success. As Hamlet had hoped, Claudius' reaction to the staged murder reveals the King to be conscience-stricken. Claudius leaves the room because he cannot breathe, and his vision is dimmed for want of light. Convinced now that Claudius is a villain, Hamlet resolves to kill him. But, as Hamlet observes, "conscience doth make cowards of us all."
In his continued reluctance to dispatch Claudius, Hamlet actually causes six ancillary deaths. The first death belongs to Polonius, whom Hamlet stabs through a wallhanging as the old man spies on Hamlet and Gertrude in the Queen's private chamber. Claudius punishes Hamlet for Polonius' death by exiling him to England. He has brought Hamlet's school chums Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to Denmark from Germany to spy on his nephew, and now he instructs them to deliver Hamlet into the English king's hands for execution. Hamlet discovers the plot and arranges for the hanging of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern instead. Ophelia, distraught over her father's death and Hamlet's behavior, drowns while singing sad love songs bemoaning the fate of a spurned lover. Her brother, Laertes, falls next.
Laertes, returned to Denmark from France to avenge his father's death, witnesses Ophelia's descent into madness. After her funeral, where he and Hamlet come to blows over which of them loved Ophelia best, Laertes vows to punish Hamlet for her death as well.
Unencumbered by words, Laertes plots with Claudius to kill Hamlet. In the midst of the sword fight, however, Laertes drops his poisoned sword. Hamlet retrieves the sword and cuts Laertes. The lethal poison kills Laertes. Before he dies, Laertes tells Hamlet that because Hamlet has already been cut with the same sword, he too will shortly die. Horatio diverts Hamlet's attention from Laertes for a moment by pointing out that "The Queen falls."
Gertrude, believing that Hamlet's hitting Laertes means her son is winning the fencing match, has drunk a toast to her son from the poisoned cup Claudius had intended for Hamlet. The Queen dies.
As Laertes lies dying, he confesses to Hamlet his part in the plot and explains that Gertrude's death lies on Claudius' head. Finally enraged, Hamlet stabs Claudius with the poisoned sword and then pours the last of the poisoned wine down the King's throat. Before he dies, Hamlet declares that the throne should now pass to Prince Fortinbras of Norway, and he implores his true friend Horatio to accurately explain the events that have led to the bloodbath at Elsinore. With his last breath, he releases himself from the prison of his words: "The rest is silence."
The play ends as Prince Fortinbras, in his first act as King of Denmark, orders a funeral with full military honors for slain Prince Hamlet.v

In the late 1960's, uncle' Pope Paul VI, priests, nuns and seminarians, particularly in Latin America, Africa and the MAHARLIKA, began teaching socialism, known as the 'Liberation Theology'. Because of close diplomatic ties between the Vatican and Communist Russia from 1917 to 1979, the Communists succeeded in attracting sympathizers and followers from among the Roman clergy and hierarchy. In 1962, Pope John XXIII, through French Cardinal Eugene Tisserant, signed the "Vatican-Moscow Agreement" stipulating, among other things, that the Roman Catholic Church would not denounce the errors of Communism. In Italy, a Roman Catholic country, communism was legalized.
The Vatican, heavily infiltrated by Masons and Communists, spread its new theology that was a blend of Marxism and Christianity. The generous funding from the "SINDONA--MARCINKLIS—CALVI—P2 LODGE" partnership encouraged subversive catholic movements to disrupt and destabilize the governments in countries where the Vatican had abundance of "blind followers." in the Third World countries, the rich and the government often oppress the poor who constitute the larger portion of the populace. Class struggle ensues, oftentimes, both classes using violence.
Countless seminarians, nuns and priests left the security of their convents and gave teach-ins, distributed subversive materials, marched on the streets, rallied and demonstrated in front of government offices and many, tragically, went to the mountains and joined the militant armed struggle. Some of them were killed during encounters with government forces.
All this idealism and sacrifice by "sincere and dedicated" people was inspired by the Roman Catholic Church seemingly to bring justice and relief to the SUFFERING POOR of the Maharlika, putting all the blame on the government. What unwitting pawns to a FOREIGN POWER, the VATICAN CHURCH, still obsessed • in playing the oldest game in the world called DOMINATION!
"Financial grants, often through religious organizations, sympathetic with left wing insurrections, meant the involvement, even if tangently, of the Vatican Bank whose financial bulk derives from deposits of religious organizations. Hence Catholic priests, being involved in actual armed insurrections in Latin America, the Philippines and Poland would automatically have spelled the potential traffic of clandestine sales of arms and, therefore, the involvement of shady banking concerns such as the mysterious 'shell' companies of the 10R, and as a result, indirectly of the Vatican itself." 1
If the Vatican indeed shed tears over the sufferings of the Filipino people, they were nothing but crocodile tears. As boldly exposed throughout this book, it was the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH that for 500 years perpetrated injustice, oppression and exploitation on the Filipino people. It LORDED OVER them with unequalled banditry and thievery. It coveted their wealth, trampled their dignity and messed up their future.
Is it any wonder, then, that those countries .that for centuries were "evangelized," colonized and ravaged like young maidens by the Roman Catholic Spain and Portugal, have dramatically evolved into unjust societies and poverty stricken nations?
After the tractors and chainsaws of greedy and irresponsible loggers have gone through virgin forests,. what do we see? Eroded mountains, swollen rivers and flooded valleys! When the TWO SWORDS OF POPE BONIFACE VIII were brought here by the Spanish conquistadors, they "raped" the spiritual, cultural and psychological identity of the people in the Maharlika Islands for 500 years. The ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH left to the Filipinos nothing but a desolate economy, a desolate society, a desolate system of worship, a desolate self-image and a desolate spirit.
As a Third World country today, the Filipinos were transformed by this Church to the wretched status of beggars, knocking at the doors of affluent nations for measly morsels of food, used clothes (sold as `ukay-ukay') and other amenities. Thanks, but no thanks, to the Roman Catholic Church with its 'Liberation Theology'.
The Roman Catholic Church's preaching on the Liberation Theology was supposed to redeem downtrodden Filipinos from poverty and oppression caused by the 'unjust and oppressive Marcos dictatorship and his monies'. The ills of this country during the Marcos regime were not all caused by him. He merely inherited those same ills that were "inflicted by the Roman Catholic Church during the 333 years of lease to Spain for so much 'pound of flesh' by Pope Leo X. And even when this country' celebrated its 100 years of independence from Spain (the LESSEE), Filipinos are still dependent on the Vatican (the LESSOR) as evidenced by the manipulation of the country by the Roman Catholic Church's leftist indoctrination in the 70's and 80's. The Liberation Theology gospel spread fast, far and wide among the multitude of BLIND FOLLOWERES, THE ROMANO CATOLICO SARADO that still comprise the majority of the Filipinos today.
If the Roman Catholic Church really meant what it taught in its Liberation Theology, this is what it should have done. Instead of just making the suffering poor aware of their miserable conditions (they called this "conscientization") and organizing them to put pressure on the rich ('class struggle') to distribute its wealth, this new theology should have first acknowledged, confessed and apologized that it was this Roman Catholic Church that put them in this pitiful condition in the first place. Say "mea culpa"! Second, it should have rehabilitated the psychologically damaged Filipinos much like a traumatized child before a psychiatrist. The offender (Roman Catholic Church) should have rehabilitated the victim (Filipino people) by promising to make amends. Third, this church, as an example to the rich, should have dug from its overflowing treasure chests and distributed its enormous surplus wealth to the poor, thereby empowering them to start a new and dignified life. This should have been true restitution by the Roman Catholic Church after its 500 years of plunder and exploitation of the Maharlika.
THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A TRUE AND SINCERE LIBERATION THEOLOGY. It is liberating to the Roman Catholic Church that confesses its sins and makes amends for them. It is liberating as well to the poor, victimized Filipinos who will benefit from the honesty of that church.
Instead, what the Roman Catholic Church does today is to give a small share from its overflowing coffers to help the poor and drumbeat the rich to give to its charitable programs. A perfect example in Manila is seen everyday on television. A plea is heard showing street children and scavengers in the garbage dumps and asking generous souls to give to CARITAS. This program belongs to the billionaire Archdiocese of Manila and the announcer belongs to one of the super, super rich religious Roman Catholic congregations in the world.
Liberation Theology achieved its goal to topple the Marcos dictatorship, perceived as the root cause of the miseries of the Filipino people. But now after twenty years, the condition of the "oppressed poor" in the Maharlika has not changed. Instead, it has worsened by a millionfold. And the Roman Catholic Church until now is still mouthing its Liberation Theology refrain: "preferential option for the poor" and "solidarity with the poor." Until now a lot of Filipinos brainwashed with this Liberation Theology are on the mountains fighting and running for their survival, kill or be killed.
The Modern Vatican Covets The Maharlika
In the early 1930's, Europe was in a depression and Germany was financially bankrupt. An unknown party leader promised the German people that he could create jobs and boost its economy. The Germans dared him and put him in power. His name is Adolph Hitler. In June 1933, the Vatican and Hitler, a Roman Catholic, signed a concordat for mutual protection and enhancement. Shortly after that, Hitler was loaded with money. He built a massive army and manufactured weapons for war. Then Hitler took Poland. Before 1918, there was no Poland. That land was part of Germany and used as a buffer zone to separate Germany from Russia. But when Hitler reclaimed it, England declared war on Germany. Throughout the Spanish occupation of the Maharlika" members of the Tagean/Tallano clan have been visiting Europe since some of their relatives were English and Austrian. From 1866 to 1898, Prince -Julian 'Macleod Tallano had also been frequenting the Vatican. In 1934 under Pope Pius XII, the Vatican negotiated with a member of the Filipino Royal Family, the Christian Tallano clan in the Maharlika. An agreement was reached that 640,000 metric tons of the Tallano gold would be lent to the Pope. This was part of that gold accumulated by the Southeast Asian Srivijayan/Madjapahit Empire during its glorious reign of 900 years. In 1939, two members of the Tallano family and a Roman Catholic priest, Fr. Jose Antonio Diaz, brought the gold from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, to the Vatican.2 After doing this, Fr. Diaz went back to the Maharlika and resided in Cabanatuan City. After World War II, he facilitated the safe return of the 640,000 metric tons of gold from the Vatican to the Maharlika. Manuel Acuna Roxas (a relative of the Acuna/Tageanfrallano clan), then a congressman and Bishop Enrique Sobrepena, Sr, in the presence of Atty. Lorenzo Tanada received the gold in Manila.
A lease agreement was made between the Tallano clan and the Maharlika government. A total of 617,500 metric tons of gold was deposited in the newly installed Central Bank of the Maharlika to comply with its requirement for GOLD RESERVE. Under the terms of the contract, the Central Bank became the HOLDER of that gold. That lease agreement will expire in the year 2005.3 Having gained the trust and confidence of Fr. Diaz, the Tallano clan made him the main negotiator and trustee of their gold. Fr. Diaz, in turn, hired the services of Atty. Ferdinand E. Marcos, then a highly recommended brilliant young lawyer having attained notoriety when he successfully defended himself in the "Naiundasan Case" in 1939. The Tallano clan paid commission to Fr. Diaz and Atty. Marcos in gold, 30% from the principal of 640,000 metric tons.4
In 1949, the two richest men in the world were Fr. Jose Antonio Diaz and Atty. Ferdinand E. Marcos. Between the two of them they legitimately earned and owned 192,000 metric tons of gold.
Ferdinand Marcos withdrew their share of the gold from the Central Bank and minted it "RP-CD." Sometime later, Fr. Diaz and Marcos brought their gold to Switzerland, in the Swiss Bank Corporation in Zurich. The remaining 400,000 metric tons of 1 Tallano gold is in the third floor basement of the Central Bank Minting Plant in East Ave., Quezon City. There are 950,000 metric tons of gold (declared missing in the International court of Justice) picked up by Yamashita from its European ally, Hitler. Another 250,000 tons of the Japanese loot around Southeast Asia are both now in the Maharlika. This country then became the holder of 1.6 million metric tons of gold bars. Some of the Yamashita gold buried in the Maharlika has been found. But the bulk of it is still buried to this day. And even now, thousands are secretly digging for it, including Japanese treasure hunters.
The World Street Journal in its November 15, 1985 issue wrote that two thirds of all the gold in the world is in the Maharlika. One third is divided among the rest of the countries in the world. Very few Filipinos know this.
When Marcos took over the government in 1965, the Maharlika had a foreign debt of US$13.5 billion. In 1986, when the Americans forcibly brought Marcos to Hawaii, President Aquino inherited a foreign debt of US$24 billion. But, of these, US$7 billion was incurred by the private sector. At his ouster, Marcos left US$2.5 billion in the Central Bank reserve. This means that Pres. Marcos during his 20 years of absolute rule only incurred a measly US$1 billion foreign debt to build up this nation with its fast growing population and numerous infrastructure projects.
How did President Marcos manage this government financially? Aside from the annual national budget of P35 billion financed by the national treasury, he had all this gold at his disposal for building the infrastructure projects that today stand unequaled to all the four succeeding presidents. Today, this country has a foreign debt of around US$75 billion. From 1986 to 2000, the government under three presidents incurred a debt of US$51 billion on top of its original US$24 billion — in just 14 years!
In the 1997 Philippine Yearbook (National Statistics Office) a Summary of Government Expenditures from 1966 to 1997 was made. From 1965-1986 (20 years) President Marcos spent P486, 273 Billion From 1986-1991 (6 years) President Aquino spent P1, 077,895 Trillion. From 1992-1997 (6 years) President Ramos spent P2, 237,907 Trillion.
Between May 14 to June 5, 2003, a nationwide survey report conducted and administered by Asia Pacific Periscope put out this question: "Among our Presidents, who do you think had done most for the country?" The results were: Marcos 41%, Magsaysay 15%, Aquino 6%, Ramos 6%, Estrada 4%, Arroyo 2%, Quezon 0.3%, Quirino 0.3% and 22% could not give any name. Margin of error was +1- 2.7%.
When Fr. Jose Antonio Diaz, alias Severino Sta. Romana, died in 1974 all that 30% commission in gold became the legendary "MARCOS GOLD." After providing for his family in Marcos' Letter of Instruction, the whole wealth derived from this was supposed to be given to the FILIPINO PEOPLE. This was the "MARCOS WEALTH" that some politicians and churchmen kept on saying was the "ILL-GOTTEN" Marcos wealth that until today is in "Marcos secret accounts."
On April 9, 1973 Marcos said: "My earthly goods have been placed in the custody and for the disposition of the Marcos Foundation dedicated to the welfare of the Filipino people."
The Demolition Campaign
In the 70's and 80's, "blood money" from the Roman Catholic Church, channeled into the Maharlika via the Vatican Bank and another foreign power, fueled the flames of dissension in the countryside and on the streets of Manila. A concerted church and foreign civil destabilization and demolition campaign was waged against Marcos. All that gold in the hands of one man like Marcos was a threat to those who have been used for so long with so much' money and power. Marcos became too powerful and would not tow the line of the two established power in the world, the VATICAN and the TRILATERAL COMMISSION (U.S.A.—GERMANY--JAPAN). But Marcos was no lap dog (lute') to any foreign power.
In 1966, during President Marcos' First State Visit to the U.S.A., he renegotiated the Military Bases Agreement (MBA) of March 14, 1947. He refused to compromise the nation's sovereignty and territorial integrity and successfully negotiated the reduction of the Military Base Agreement lease, which was supposed to end in 2046 to just 25 more years — ending in 1991, instead of 2046. This made the USA angry.
When the USA recognized Maharlika sovereignty over the military bases on January 7, 1979, President Marcos called it "the final liberation of the Philippines." Most significantly, the U.S. Ambassador Richard W. Murphy in • his letter to the Maharlika Minister for Foreign Affairs, Carlos P. Romulo, dated January 7, 1979 said: "Only the Philippine flag shall be flown singly at the Bases. The United States flag together with the Philippine flag that shall at all times occupy the place of honor, may be displayed within buildings anti other indoor sites on United States facilities and in front of headquarters of the United States Commanders and upon coordination with the Philippine Base Commanders for appropriate outdoor ceremonies such as military honors and parades on the facilities."
In his grand plan, Marcos wanted to re-establish the former grandeur of the Maharlika and the whole region of Southeast Asia, the former Malayan Empire. In June 1983, Marcos appeared before the First World leaders in Toronto. He announced his plan to boost the economy of the Southeast Asian region by creating the ASIAN DOLLAR. This would be backed up by the 400,000 metric tons of gold in the Central Bank of the Maharlika and the other gold he scattered around the region. He would also add to this his own Personal 192,000 metric tons in Switzerland.
his Asian Dollar, backed up by the "two thirds of all the gold in the World" that was in the Maharlika, would have made the Maharlika money more valuable and stronger than the American dollar. This was his vision to raise Southeast Asia to be at par with the rest of the First World countries. The very next day James Baker, the head of the C.I.A., replaced Henry Kissinger as Secretary of State.
Subsequently, an intensified demolition job on Marcos and the destruction of his party were ingeniously planned and carried out. Two months later, on August 21, 1983 Senator Ninoy Aquino was assassinated at the Manila International Airport. The blame was placed on Marcos.
To this day the assassination of Ninoy Aquino has not yet been solved. It has to be kept this way because solving it would open a Pandora's box and reveal skeletons in the closet of many prominent people very close to Ninoy Aquino who are still enjoying the high esteem of the public today.
The Coup De Grace: EDSA Revolution
A year and a half later, on December 26, 1984, the "CORY CONSTITUTION" was formulated. This was the first coup d'etat ever planned in the modern history of the Maharlika. The document was entitled: DECLARATION OF UNITY. It says: "WHEREAS it has become the imperative &Ay for all who oppose the Marcos regime to join forces to restore the freedom and sovereignty of the Filipino people and thereafter to reconstruct the national economy and improve the quality of life of all Filipinos, starting with the poor, the voiceless and the oppressed, and WHEREAS we believe that the foregoing objectives can best be attained by implementing the following values, principles and convictions which we all share.'
There are eight points in the Cory Constitution. Point 6 says: "Belief in a Pluralistic Society. The new leadership will respect and protect freedom of expression and the right to disseminate all philosophies and non-violent programs. It trusts the capacity of the people to choose freely what is best for the nation, and will honor the choice of the people even if it differs from theirs. The Communist Party of the Philippines will be legalized. In order to remove obstacles to national unity, the new leadership will take steps, immediately upon assumption of office, to address all legitimate grievances of all who have resorted to armed struggle."
Point 8.1 says: The new leadership commits itself to eliminate the social cancer of graft and corruption, public or private..." Point 8.3 says: "...(Marcos') Ill-gotten wealth, , property and assets shall be confiscated..."
In conclusion, the CORY CONSTITUTION says. 'Therefore, we sign these presents to solemnly affirm our commitment to the foregoing values. principles and convictions and to signify our resolve to exhaust all means to unify all parties, organizations and fortes in opposition to the Marcos regime." Signed in Quezon City by: 1. Agapito "Butz" Aquino, 2. Jose W. Diokno, 3. Teofisto Guingona, 4. Eva Estrada Kalaw, 5. Salvador H. Laurel, 6. Raul S. Manglapus, 7. Ramon Mitra, Jr.. 8. Ambrosio Padilla, 9. Aquilino Pimentel, Jr., 10. Rafael Sales, 11. Jovito Salonga. Signed by the conveyor group are: 1. Corazon C. Aquino, 2. Jaime V. Ongpin, 3. Lorenzo M. Tanada.
U.S. Senator Paul Laxalt, in his article that appeared in the U.S. magazine Policy Review (1986) entitled "My Conversations with Ferdinand Marcos", said: "It appears from what I read in the papers that she (Cory Aquino) made a serious strategic mistake in releasing the

It is the time of the Crusades during the Middle Ages - the world shaping 200-year collision between Europe and the East. A blacksmith named Balian has lost his family and nearly his faith. The religious wars raging in the far-off Holy Land seem remote to him, yet he is pulled into that immense drama. Amid the pageantry and intrigues of medieval Jerusalem he falls in love, grows into a leader, and ultimately uses all his courage and skill to defend the city against staggering odds. Destiny comes seeking Balian in the form of a great knight, Godfrey of Ibelin, a Crusader briefly home to France from fighting in the East. Revealing himself as Balian's father, Godfrey shows him the true meaning of knighthood and takes him on a journey across continents to the fabled Holy City. In Jerusalem at that moment--between the Second and Third Crusades--a fragile peace prevails, through the efforts of its enlightened Christian king, Baldwin IV, aided by his advisor Tiberias, and the military restraint of the legendary Muslim leader Saladin. But Baldwin's days are numbered, and strains of fanaticism, greed, and jealousy among the Crusaders threaten to shatter the truce. King Baldwin's vision of peace--a kingdom of heaven--is shared by a handful of knights, including Godfrey of Ibelin, who swear to uphold it with their lives and honor. As Godfrey passes his sword to his son, he also passes on that sacred oath: to protect the helpless, safeguard the peace, and work toward harmony between religions and cultures, so that a kingdom of heaven can flourish on earth. Balian takes the sword and steps into history.
- Written by Sujit R. Varma
In 1184, French village blacksmith Balian just lost his wife trough suicide grief-stricken by their child's death; the crusader lord Godfrey, baron of Ibelin, reveals himself as Balian's father and offers him a crusader life, which the youngster spontaneously rejects but after the local priest taunts him till his sword strikes fatally accepts, fleeing the French bishop's bloody justice and seeking divine forgiveness as promised to crusaders in Jerusalem. On the way, Balian is instructed the skills of war and chivalric honor code and dubbed a knight in Messina by his father, who was fatally wounded fighting off the bishop's men. After shipwreck on the Levantine coast, Balian soon proves himself a superior knight as fighter and noble idealist in the loyal service of leper king Baldwin, whose pragmatic right hand, the count of Tiberias, fails to convince Balian the ruthless knight Reynald de Chatillon and his traitorous master, candidate-heir to the throne Guy de Lusignan, must be stopped by all means before they plunge the crusader kingdom in a fatal war against the noble, militarily far superior Saracen king Saladin. When Tiberias is proven right, he leaves for Cyprus, brave Balian stays to defend besieged Jerusalem against impossible odds.

Crushing Entrepreneurs
Clueless regulators continue to pass new rules, despite the damage done by mindless enforcement of the old ones. I've written about the seven-year-old who tried to open a lemonade stand in California. Now two middle schoolers in New Castle, NY have gotten in trouble because they held a bake sale at the country fair. The local paper reports:
Their first day was wildly successful, the boys said. They netted $120, of which they invested $60 to buy a cart from Target and added water and Gatorade to their offerings on their second day.
But then – whoops – looks like the boys didn't get the required $1 million certificate of insurance. What's wrong with them -- didn't they read the 137-chapter New Castle City Code?!
Town board member Michael Wolfensohn called the cops.
"All vendors selling on town property have to have a license, whether it's boys selling baked goods or a hot dog vendor," said Wolfensohn…
a New Castle parks use permit requires a $1 million certificate of insurance and a fee ranging from $150 to $350 per two hours…
Couldn't Wolfensohn have simply told the boys that they needed a license, the parents want to know, instead of calling the police?
"In hindsight, maybe I should have done that, but I wasn't sure if I was allowed to do that," he said. "The police are trained to deal with these sorts of issues."
For now, the kids are out of a job.
"I am shocked and sad for the boys. It was such a great idea, and they worked hard at it," said Laura Graff, Kevin's mother.
"I don't get too many offers for babysitting, and we live in a development, so shoveling snow is not an option either," said Andrew. "We were being entrepreneurs , but now I feel a little defeated."
Just one more victim of big government.

Cradle Of Australian Democracy
Famous Eureka Stockade
Historic Stand Recalled
4 view of the memorial erected by citizens of Australia on the spot where the miners fought and died.
Nearly three years ago representatives of the Australian Workers' Union met in the historic city of Ballarat — the Cradle of Australia's Democracy — to cele brate the Golden Jubilee of the foundation of their great organisation. Although many very interesting features of the jubilee celebrations were subsequently placed on record, none was more inspiring than the impressive pilgrimage which was made by the delegates and their distinguished industrial visitors to Hie famous Eureka Stockade, where, in 1 854, the diggers of Ballarat made their great stand for freedom and democracy, when both were trampled underfoot by an uncompromising administration which was as brutal in its methods as it was cruel and unjust in its demands.
THE Battlefleld °* Eureka, where some twenty-lour men of cdl nortionalHioa laid down their live* for Individual freedom and economic Justice, and what* many more were severely wounded, is, and has boon for many years, a hallowed spot for the descendants of those gedtaat men, and for all other true lovers of Democracy. And each year, as the 3rd of De cember comes round, industrial pil grims within teach gather on an ap propriate day to celebrate that great hisrorical event, and to contemplate what it has meant to the generations which have followed in the attain ment of a better and a more equit able state of society, and a higher standard of communal existence. PILGRIMAGES ORGANISED This year the Victorian branch of the A.L.P., which has for some time sponsored and organised these pil grimages, fixed December 10 as the most convenient date, and on Sunday last, by road and by rail, hundreds flocked to that gentle sunlit slope on the outskirts of the famous Garden City to place this year's tribute on the shrine that has been erected there in memory of our pioneers and the noble work they accomplished. On the previous Sunday, in New castle, a Eureka Stockade commemo ration took place under the auspices of the Trades and Labor Council, and an inspiring resolution was carried re cording the pride and admiration of those present of the sacrifices made by the martyrs of the Eureka Stock ade at Ballarat in 1654. The resolution stated that the Eureka Stockade was the protest of the Australian people against the in justices of the semi-military dictator ship of the time. The sacrifices, it was stressed, led to the foundation of Parliamentary Government and democracy in Aus tralia, and those present pledged themselves to carry out the traditions of Eureka and to uphold the civil lib erty and the citizen rights of the Australian people. WHAT LED TO THE STOCKADE The conditions which led up to the tight of Eureka arose mainly from the actions taken by the Administra tion in supervising the various gold fields. To meet the expense of secur ing order and to restrain unauthor ised mining on waste Crown land, a local Act of January, 1852, imposed on all diggers a licence fee of 30 shil lings per month, the penalty for min ing without a.licence being £6 for the first offence and afterwards imprison ment for terms up to six months. Clause 7 of this Act appropriated half the recovered penalties to the use of the informer or prosecutor-^a pro vocative and irritating provision. In December, 1863, an amending Act re duced the fee to £1 per month, but did not alter the diggers' great grievance — that they could be imprisoned for not having the actual licence on them, though their possession of one could be proved from the official record. They were, too, unrepresented in Par liament, though in 1854 the population on the Ballarat goldfielda was esti mated at 20,000. DEM AND~FOR HEAVY FEES Sir Charles Hotham, who reached Victoria in June, 1854, was alarmed at the depleted state of the Treasury and the growing expense of goldfields ad ministration, and ordered the police to
redouble their exertions in collecting he fees. To miners barely making rations the payment of £12 per annum was impossible, and there is no doubt mndreds did endeavour to evade pay ment, but the innocent suffered with he guilty. The police, too, had been largely recruited from Tasmania, and many were ex-eonvicte who had risen » be Jail-warders: some, in addition to their venality, showed a rough bru tality. These grievances were com mon to all the Victorian fields, and i»ad under Latrobe'e administration produced riots at Beechworth and Oastlemaine, bat Ballarat, always the most domestic of the goidfields, was renowned for its peaceful progressive ness and quietness. DEATH OF JAMBS SCOBIE On the night of October 6, however, el miner named James Scobie was killed at the Eureka Hotel, near Bal larat, and the murdered man's brother accused the proprietor (Bentley. a rasmanian ex-convict) of the murder. Bentley was brought up before a magistrate, whb was alleged to be financially under his thumb, and he was discharged. The miners were in dignant; a meeting was called and a demand made for a fresh prosecution. 3?he meeting itself was orderly, but towards the end of proceedings a cry was raised that the police (who had been ordered to protect the hotel) were trying to disperse the meeting, and the miners, becoming furious, swept aside the police, smashed the windows and furniture, and burned the building. The police arrested three men- who could not be proved to have been ring leaders or active in the riot, and they were sentenced to three, four, and six months' imprisonment, INDIGNATION MEETING At an indignation meeting held on November 11 on Bakery Hill, the Bal larat Reform League was formed, with J. B. Humffray (a Welshman) as its first secretary, and Peter Lalor, Frederic Vern (a Hanoverian), Raf faello (an Italian teacher, of lan guages), Timothy Hayes (an Irish man),, and George Black, a welledu cated Englishman, as prominent members. A deputation of three men waited on Governor Hotham to demand the release of the prisoners, but he refused and had already sent additional troops to Ballarat, which gave considerable offence by marching through the town with fixed bayonets and by. other ex asperating conduct. On November 29 Black, Humffray, and Kennedy reported to a msss meeting held at Bakery Hill the re sult of their deputation to the Governor, and Vern proposed a burn ing of the obnoxious licenses, which was carried out forthwith. Next day the police carried out a specially vicious and vigorous licence-hunt, and when the troops marched back to camp, the diggers hastened to a con ference with the leading spirits of the Reform' League. LALOR ELECTED LEADER Peter Lalor was elected leader, and under a blue flag adorned with the stars of the Southern Cross the as sembled diggers swore 'to stand truly by each other and fight to de fend our rights and liberties.' An area of about an acre on the present Eureka site was hastily en closed with a pallisade and a deputa tion was sent to the military camp demanding the release of the morn ing's prisoners and the cessation of license-hunting. The Commissioner
flatly refused the request, saying that the agitation was 'only a cloak to cotct s democratic revolution.' On December 1 the occupants of the stockade were hard at work by 5 a.m. drilling and improving the barrier, and a German blacksmith was fashioning pike-heads. But neither food nor ammunition was available within the stockade, and many men left it in search of these commodities, so that by the evening of the 2nd not more than 200 remained within. STOCKADE RUSHED Spies informed the Commissioner of the situation and about 4.30 a.m. on Sunday morning (December' 8) s troop of 276 men was marched silently to the stockade. Of those within about 50 had rifles; there was also a troop of Californian diggers armed with revolvers and another of Irishmen with pikes. Many of them were asleep when the signal gun was fired and a storming party of 64 'rushed' the stockade. In the first volleys several men fell on both sides, but the line of advanc ing bayonets, flanked on both sides by cavalry and mounted police, was too much for the diggers. They turned to seek shelter and all was over. Of the military force Captain Wise and four private soldiers were killed, and about a dozen injured. Sixteen miners were killed, and at least eight others died of their wounds, 114 pri soners were taken, and Lalor, badly wounded, managed to escape; so did Black and Vern, though the Govern
ment offered £500 for the apprehen sion of Vern, and £200 each for Black and Lalor. MARTIAL LAW PROCLAIMED Ballarat was put under martial law at once. On the 5th Sir Robert Nickle arrived with reinforcements. He blamed the rebels, but listened to the miners' grievances, and his just and conciliatory treatment had a soothing effect on the population — as did his announcement that the Governor had appointed a commission to enquire into their wrongs. .On the 9th the ban of martial law was withdrawn, though the miners declared they pre ferred it to police rule. The trials began in February, 1856, and two men were acquitted without needing to defend themselves. The Attorney-General postponed the rest of the trials until March, but without effect — all the men appeared, pleaded, listened to the charges, and were also acquitted without being called on for a defence. When th? last prisoner walked free, the rewards for the cap ture of the missing men were with drawn. ROYAL COMMISSION APPOINTED While the diggers' grievances were undoubtedly great and the severity of the police administration was offi cially condemned by a Royal Com mission appointed by Hotham to en quire into the whole trouble, it is also certain that some of the League's leaders had in view far more titan a mere redress of grievances. Lalor, Humffray, and Black were probably inspired solely by indigna
tion, many others hoped to make the movement a political one, and how far they were successful subsequent his tory has amply demonstrated. REBEL LEADERS HONOURED All that the miners fought for on that stark Sunday morning in *54 pn the dim-lit slopes of Eureka was soon promptly written into the Statute Books of our country and the 'rebel'' leaders almost without exception were subsequently elevated to the highest positions at the disposal of a grate ful community. Peter Lalor himself was not o»!y selected to represent Ids eoaair? in Parliament but Parliament itself be stowed upon, him the ^exalted fssftiMi of Sneaker— a position he held with dignity and success for sun? years, tin failing health forced his : retire* meat upon which occasion ParHanent voted him £4000 In recognition of his outstanding services to the land of his adoption. PRISONERS OF 1891 Lalor*s experiences were almost identical with those of some ?f Jgur own union prisoners of 1891. Wil liam Hamilton, who served three years in St. Helena on account of his as sociation with Hie great shearing strike of 1691, was subsequently ele vated to the position of president of the Legislative Council, and one of his mates, George Taylor, who served a similar sentence in the same Jail afterwards migrated to Western Am- . tralia where be became Colonial Sea* retary and Speaker of the Legislative Assembly.

US tells citizens to leave LibyaComment on this story
Washington - The State Department on Tuesday told US citizens in Libya to leave immediately, warning that the security situation in the country was "unpredictable and unstable."
"The Department of State warns US citizens against all travel to Libya and recommends that US citizens currently in Libya depart immediately," the State Department said in a new travel warning.
"Because of the presumption that foreigners, especially US citizens, in Libya may be associated with the US government or US NGO's, travellers should be aware that they may be targeted for kidnapping, violent attacks, or death. US citizens currently in Libya should exercise extreme caution and depart immediately," it said.
"The security situation in Libya remains unpredictable and unstable," the warning added.
The last travel warning on December 12 strongly advised against all but essential travel to Tripoli and against travelling outside the capital.
The warning followed an attack on Libya's parliament, the General National Congress, on May 18 by armed groups, and came as the leader of Islamist militant group Ansar al-Sharia in Libya's Benghazi city warned the United States on Tuesday against interfering in the country's affairs.
Ansar al-Sharia is listed in the United States as a foreign terrorist organisation and is accused of orchestrating the 2012 attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi in which US Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans died.
Mohamed Zahawi, who heads the Benghazi brigade of Ansar al-Sharia, accused the United States on Tuesday of backing renegade former General Khalifa Haftar, who started a self-declared campaign to purge Libya of Islamist militants.
The United States has an embassy in Tripoli but closed its consulate in Benghazi after the 2012 attack.
In its latest warning, the State Department said it would limit staffing at the embassy in Tripoli and offer only limited emergency services to citizens in Libya. - Reuters

Johannesburg - She was raped four times in less than four hours. After her second ordeal, the 18-year-old from Kaalfontein was ordered by her alleged rapist to wipe the semen using her underwear, after which it was taken from her.
This was the teenage rape victim's evidence on Tuesday at the South Gauteng High Court, sitting at the Palm Ridge Magistrate's Court.
Emotional throughout, the girl told the court she could not remember the man who had raped her on the night of February 17, 2012.
All she knew was that a man was arrested after being linked through DNA to her rape.
The girl was testifying against alleged serial rapist Justice Albert Morake, 34, who has pleaded not guilty to 175 charges.
The charges include 53 counts of kidnapping, 27 of robbery with aggravating circumstances, 34 of rape, 12 of sexual offences and two of attempted murder.
On Tuesday, the court heard that the victim was 16 when she was raped. She said her alleged rapist had met her at about 9pm on the night of the incident.
She was with her boyfriend when a man approached her at gunpoint outside her doorstep.
The couple were taken to the veld, where the first rape occurred. Then the alleged rapist tied up her boyfriend and took her to a different spot.
It started to rain during the rape and she was taken to another area, where she was raped again.
The 18-year-old said she was taken again to the first spot, where she was raped for the third time, before returning to the second spot, where she was raped for the last time.
The trial continues.
