For two or three centuries, many Protestants have given figures concerning the total number of people killed directly or indirectly by the Papacy during the Middle Ages. The numbers given include 50 million, 68 million, 100 million, 120 million, and 150 million. Roman Catholics typically give much smaller numbers. Frequently the figures are stated without any information about where they came from or how they were computed. The purpose of this note is to describe where some of these figures come from and to comment on their reliability. Surely nearly all Roman Catholics as well as Protestants disapprove of past religious persecutions, so this discussion should not reflect negatively on current members of the Roman Catholic Church. However, events in Nazi Germany show how easily persecution can revive, so it is necessary to be on guard against it and maintain an awareness of its history. Of course, many other groups besides the Papacy have persecuted. And all of us, without Christ, have the roots of sin in ourselves. The reason the Papacy stands out is that it has ruled for such a long period of time over such a large area, exercised so much power, and claimed divine prerogatives for its persecutions. The magnitude of the persecutions is important for the following reason: One can excuse a few thousand cases as exceptional, but millions and millions of victims can only be the result of a systematic policy, thereby showing the harmful results of church-state unions.
In this study I have attempted, with some success, to penetrate the veil of obscurity that surrounds the Middle Ages in order to determine the true history of this period.
In order to consider this subject, it is necessary to recall many unpleasant events. The dreadful totals, computations, and examples that follow, one after another, are not for the faint hearted. These atrocities should convince us not so much of the evils of a particular religious system as of the depravity of the sinful human heart, and lead us to turn to Christ for repentance and salvation that we might have new hearts and be cleansed from sin.
Here are some of the places where figures about religious persecutions are given. Dowling in his History of Romanism says
"From the birth of Popery in 606 to the present time, it is estimated by careful and credible historians, that more than fifty millions of the human family, have been slaughtered for the crime of heresy by popish persecutors, an average of more than forty thousand religious murders for every year of the existence of popery."
-- "History of Romanism," pp. 541,
Commenting on this quote, a fundamental Baptist web site says the following:
For example, it has been estimated by careful and reputed historians of the Catholic Inquisition that 50 million people were slaughtered for the crime of "heresy" by Roman persecutors between the A.D. 606 and the middle of the 19th century.
is the number cited by John Dowling, who published the classic "History of
Romanism" in 1847 (book VIII,
chapter 1, footnote 1). Only seven years after its first printing, it could be
said of Dowling's book, "it has already obtained a circulation much more
extensive than any other large volume ever published in
Concerning the figure of two million killed, Bourne writes
Bertrand, the Papal Legate, wrote a letter to Pope Honorius, desiring to be recalled from the croisade against the primitive witnesses and contenders for the faith. In that authentic document, he stated, that within fifteen years, 300,000 of those crossed soldiers had become victims to their own fanatical and blind fury. Their unrelenting and insatiable thirst for Christian and human blood spared none within the reach of their impetuous despotism and unrestricted usurpations. On the river Garonne, a conflict occurred between the croisaders, with their ecclesiastical leaders, the Prelates of Thoulouse and Comminges; who solemnly promised to all their vassals the full pardon of sin, and the possession of heaven immediately, if they were slain in the battle. The Spanish monarch and his confederates acknowledged that they must have lost 400,000 men, in that tremendous conflict, and immediately after it-but the Papists boasted, that including the women and children, they had massacred more than two millions of the human family, in that solitary croisade against the southwest part of France.

W. E. H. Lecky says:
"That the Church of Rome has shed more innocent blood than any other institution that has ever existed among mankind, will be questioned by no Protestant who has a competent knowledge of history. The memorials, indeed, of many of her persecutions are now so scanty, that it is impossible to form a complete conception of the multitude of her victims, and it is quite certain that no power of imagination can adequately realize their sufferings." -- "History of the Rise and Influence of the Spirit of Rationalism in

The figure of 68 million appeared in Schmucker's talk in 1838, in Brownlee's book of 1836, and also in a book "Plea for the West" by Lyman Beecher (Cincinnati, Truman and Smith, 1835), pp. 130-131:
And let me ask again, whether the Catholic religion, in its union with the state, has proved itself so unambitious, meek, and unaspiring so feeble, and easy to be entreated, as to justify-a proud, contempt of its avowed purpose and systematic movements to secure an ascendancy in this nation? It is accidental that in alliance with despotic governments, it has swayed a sceptre of iron, for ten centuries over nearly one-third of; the population of, the globe, and by a death of violence is estimated to have swept from 'the' earth about sixty-eight millions of its inhabitants, and holds now in darkness and bondage nearly half the civilized world?
The exact quote of Brownlee referenced above is as follows:
In one word, the church of Rome has spent immense treasures and shed, in murder, the blood of sixty eight millions and five hundred thousand of the human race, to establish before the astonished and disgusted world, her fixed determination to annihilate every claim set up by the human family to liberty, and the right of unbounded freedom of conscience.
-- Popery an enemy to civil liberty, 1836, pp. 104-105.
Also, in another work Brownlee states
-- The Roman Catholic Religion viewed in the
light of Prophecy and History,
And later in the same work,

Christians destroyed by fire, and the sword, and the inquisition; and
fifteen millions of natives of the American continent and islands; and three

These quotations make it clear that the
figure of 50 million refers only to Christians in
Brownlee further comments on the number killed by the Papacy in another work as follows:
When Laguedoc was invaded by these monsters, one hundred thousand Albigensees fell in one day! See Bruys vol. iii. 139.
-- page 346
There perished under pope Julian 200,000 Christians: and by the French massacre, on a moderate calculation, in 3
months, 100,000. Of the Waldenses there perished 150,000; of the Albigenses,
150,000. There perished by the Jesuits in 30 years only 900,000. The Duke of Alva destroyed by the common hangman alone, 36,000
persons; the amount murdered by him is set down by Grotius at 100,000!
There perished by the fire, and tortures of the Inquisition in
To sum up the whole, the Roman Catholic
church has caused the ruin, and destruction of a million and a half of Moors in Spain;

Thus the church of Rome stands before the world, "the woman in scarlet, on the scarlet colored Beast." A church claiming to be Christian, drenched in the blood of sixty-eight millions, and five hundred thousand human beings!
-- W. C. Brownlee, Letters in the Roman Catholic controversy, 1834, pp. 347-348.
Brownlee apparently revised the 69 million figure downwards to 68 million. So the figure of 68 million has several sources in the early 1800's. The source for some of Brownlee's figures appears in the following quotation:
These forced baptisms, and the consequent claims which the pope set up over "his slaves," caused the death of one million five hundred thousand Moors, and on the most moderate calculation, that of two millions of Jews! See Dr. M. Geddes's Tracts on Popery, vol. i.

The figure of 68 million appears again in a later work:
Alexander Campbell, well known religions leader of the nineteenth century, stated in debate with John B. Purcell, Bishop of Cincinnati, in 1837 that the records of historians and martyrologists show that it may be reasonable to estimate that from fifty to sixty-eight millions of human beings died, suffered torture, lost their possessions, or were otherwise devoured by the Roman Catholic Church during the awful years of the Inquisition. Bishop Purcell made little effort to refute these figures. (Citing A Debate on the Roman Catholic Religion, Christian Publishing Co., 1837, p. 327.)
Walter M. Montano, a former Catholic priest, asserts in his book, Behind the Purple Curtain that it has been estimated that fifty million people died for their faith during the twelve hundred years of the Dark Ages. (Citing Walter M. Montano, Behind the Purple Curtain, Cowman Publications, 1950, page 91.)
-- The Shadow of
Such figures sometimes appear in recent
books, such as Wilder's, but
in general, all the figures about the number killed by the Papacy go back many
years and have reputable sources. It is
interesting that Campbell implies that the figure of 68 million includes
many who were not killed, but just persecuted, while the three earlier
references, including Brownlee,
state that this number were killed.
For professing faith contrary to the teachings of the Church of Rome, history records the martyrdom of more then one hundred million people. A million Waldenses and Albigenses [Swiss and French Protestants] perished during a crusade proclaimed by Pope Innocent III in 1208. Beginning from the establishment of the Jesuits in 1540 to 1580, nine hundred thousand were destroyed. One hundred and fifty thousand perished by the Inquisition in thirty years. Within the space of thirty-eight years after the edict of Charles V against the Protestants, fifty thousand persons were hanged, beheaded, or burned alive for heresy. Eighteen thousand more perished during the administration of the Duke of Alva in five and a half years.
Brief Bible
This great antichristian power robbed the church of its gospel light and plunged the world into the Dark Ages. It put to death and thus took away the lives of from fifty to one hundred millions of the saints of the Most High.
One thousand years covers the crest of the persecutions when from 50,000,000 to 150,000,000 martyrs died of the sword, at the stake, in dungeons, and of starvation because of the confiscation of their earthly possessions.
In like manner the blood of a hundred million martyrs cries for justice to the One who says, "Vengeance is mine; I will repay saith the Lord." Rom .
Let us keep a sense of proportion. The record
of Christianity from the days when it first obtained the power to persecute is
one of the most ghastly in history. The total number of Manichaeans,
Jews and Protestants killed because of their rebellion against Rome
clearly runs to many millions; and beyond these actual executions or massacres
is the enormously larger number of those who were tortured,
imprisoned, or beggared. I am concerned rather with the positive historical
aspect of this. In almost every century a large part of the race has endeavored
to reject the Christian religion, and, if in those centuries there had been the
same freedom as we enjoy, Roman Catholicism would, in spite of the universal
ignorance, have shrunk long ago into a sect. The religious history of

'The church,' says [Martin] Luther, has never burned a heretic.' . . I reply that this argument proves not the opinion, but the ignorance or impudence of Luther. Since almost infinite" numbers were either burned or otherwise killed,' Luther either did not know it, and was therefore ignorant, or if he was not ignorant, he is convicted of impudence and falsehood, —for that heretics were often burned by the [Catholic] Church may be proved from many examples.

Some have computed, that, from the year 1518
to1548, fifteen million of Protestants have perished by war and the Inquisition.

years, as well as since is almost incredible. To these we may add innumerable

These persecutions were not necessarily directed by the hierarchy of the church, but for the most part probably originated at a much lower level, from the "ecclesiastical feudalism" of the Middle Ages, as described by Williams:
Abbes and bishops in consequence became suzerains, temporal lords, having numerous vassals ready to take up arms for their cause, counts of justice – in fact all the prerogatives exercised by the great landlords. … This ecclesiastical feudalism was so extensive, so powerful, that in France and England it possessed during the Middle Ages more than a fifth of all the land; in Germany nearly a third.

the greatest number of those who perished by the Papacy in Europe did so at the hands of these local authorities,
on the grounds of suspected heresy or opposition to the church, and not
necessarily at the direction of the Pope, preceded by a trial, nor mentioned in
records. Who would there have been to
interfere with the actions of the local abbes and bishops? The constant elimination of a few heretics
here and there, in many locations, continued for many years, could easily have
added up to a total of millions without making much of an impression on recorded
history. Throughout the Middle Ages as the possessions of the church increased, so

number of their victims. During the

The persecutions were not at all limited to the Inquisition, but took many forms. Many of the victims were killed secretly and never brought to trial or sentenced. These deaths would never have appeared in the official records of the Inquisition. Such persecutions even continued until very recent times, as illustrated by the following quotation from W. C. Brownlee, Popery the Enemy of Civil and Religious Liberty, J. S. Taylor, New York, 1836, page 124:

Note that it was common knowledge in Brownlee's day that such executions of dissenters from Catholicism took place. Another quotation from Brownlee, p. 115 gives further support to this fact:

Catholic countries at that time. If such
persecution took place in the early nineteenth century, how much more must it
have occurred in the Middle Ages when the Papacy was at the height of its
power! For example, M'Crie relates (The Reformation in Spain, pp.
181-188) how a Spaniard in the year 1546 converted to Protestantism
and was in consequence killed by his brother, who never was punished for his
deed. There must have been many such
assassinations in the Middle Ages by loyal Catholics who were jealous for the
reputation of the Virgin Mary. In fact, threats and persecution even took

corrupt authorities, as described in the following passage from Peter's Tomb

At length a Sclavonian waterman came to the
palace with a startling story. He said that on the night when the prince
disappeared, while he was watching some timber on the river, he saw two men
approach the bank, and look cautiously around to see if they were observed.
Seeing no one, they made a signal to two others, one of whom was on horseback,
and who carried a dead body swung carelessly across his horse. He advanced to
the river, flung the corpse far into the water, and then rode away. Upon being
asked why he had not mentioned this before, the waterman replied that it was a
common occurrence, and that he had seen more than a hundred bodies thrown into
Even as recently as the mid twentieth century, dissenters from Catholicism were in danger, according to the following quotations:
But to even bring things closer home; an acquaintance told me of a recent conversation between a Protestant relative of hers and a Roman Catholic. The Catholic said, "I would like to see the blood of Protestants flow down the streets of this city." The Protestant was rightly surprised and said, "How can you say that, we are friends and you know that I am a Protestant?" The Catholic responded, "Yes, I know, but the greater the sacrifice, the greater the reward." Since they teach Catholics from childhood on, that to kill a Protestant is to do God a service, we had better be careful how we put Catholics in public office [but note that such teaching does not appear to be continued today, and also other quotations show that many Catholics oppose such persecution].

During its rise to power, the Papacy also essentially exterminated the Heruli shortly after 493 A.D., the Vandals soon after 533 A.D., and the Ostrogoths in 554 A.D, all of whom were asserted to hold to the Arian belief. However, Limborch (The History of the Inquisition, p. 95) doubts that Arius held the views attributed to him. Concerning the Vandals, Bunch writes
"It is reckoned that during the reign of Justinian, Africa lost five millions of inhabitants; thus Arianism was extinguished in that region, not by any enforcement of conformity, but by the extermination of the race which had introduced and professed it." – History of the Christian Church, J.C. Robertson, Vol. 1, p. 521.
-- Bunch,
Of course, the Heruli and the Ostrogoths also undoubtedly numbered in the millions, and were exterminated. Everywhere one looks there is evidence of millions and millions of people who were killed by the Papacy in various stages of its history. The Hussites were also nearly exterminated:

The inquisitor Reinerius, who died in 1259, has left it on record: "Concerning the sects of ancient heretics, observe, that there have been more than seventy: all of which, except the sects of the Manichaeans and the Arians and the Runcarians and the Leonists which have infected Germany, have through the favour of God, been destroyed.

One of these sects lost a hundred thousand to persecution:

It is often claimed by historic Protestant writers that 50 million or more people have been killed by the Papacy. For example, Buck [Buck, Charles, A Theological Dictionary, containing Definitions of All Religious Terms; ..., Philadelphia, Thomas Cowperthwait & Co., 1838, article "Persecution", p. 335] writes, "It has been computed that fifty millions of Protestants have at different times been the victims of the persecutions of the Papists, and put to death for their religious opinions." However, most people today have no idea how this figure of 50 million was originally computed. Some persons today are claiming that this figure of 50 million has no basis in fact and is an exaggeration based on anti-Catholic sentiment. Therefore it is of interest to find out how this figure was originally computed in order to evaluate its reliability. This study reveals some aspects of history that are being neglected today and also gives us an insight into the extent to which the true history of religion is being lost. This study also shows how some of the other figures were computed.
There were many attempts to calculate the
number killed by the Papacy. Albert
Barnes, in his commentary on Revelation ,
states, "Calculations, more or less accurate, have been made of the numbers
Popery has slain…." We give one
plausible method of computation for the often quoted figure of 50 million
killed by the Papacy in
Some have computed, that, from the year 1518
to1548, fifteen million of Protestants have perished by war and the Inquisition.
This may be overcharged, but certainly the number of them in these thirty
years, as well as since is almost incredible. To these we may add innumerable
martyrs, in ancient, middle, and late ages, in
the commentary on the book of Revelation in Wesley's

history states "Historians estimate that, in the Middle Ages and Early Reformation Era, more than 50,000,000 Martyrs perished."
Furthermore, speaking of Innocent III,
Halley writes [p. 776], "More Blood was Shed under
his direction, and that of his immediate successors, than at any other period
of Church History, except in the Papacy's effort to Crush the Reformation in the 16th and 17th
centuries." In his introduction to [Berg,
Lectures on Romanism, D. Weidner,
depuis environ quatorze cents ans, la
théologie a procuré le massacre de plus de
cinquante millions d'hommes.
This shows that one of these computations of 50 million killed was accepted by Voltaire and approximately covered the period from 350 A.D. to 1750 A.D. In commenting on this figure, a web page maintained by Professor James MacLean of the Department of French and Spanish at Memorial University of Newfoundland says
allusion aux Guerres de Religion, aux Croisades, etc.
Thus Prof. MacLean speculates that the 50 million figure is based on wars of religion, crusades, and other events.
These quotations give us important clues
about the origin of the figure of 50 million killed by the Papacy in
The time period for the figure of 45 million
has now been reasonably established, but not the place. For this,

twelfth century against the Waldenses ... was now more effectually set to

suggests that the principal areas of persecution included
Thus the time and place of the major persecutions contributing to the 50 million figure have been determined with reasonable confidence. It remains to estimate numbers killed in each of these persecutions and show that they add up to 50 million. Although it is not yet possible to give a full accounting, one can assign reasonable totals to these persecutions that do add up to 50 million.
A large portion of the figure of 45 million
is covered by the thirty years' war, the conflict in
The Thirty Years War had started as a Religious War; it ended as a Political War; it resulted in the deaths of 10,000,000 to 20,000,000. Jesuit educated Ferdinand II started it with the purpose of crushing Protestantism.

"Thus did popish malice pursue the reformed in most parts of France, and persecute them under various names, but the denomination about this time, viz. the sixteenth century, most obnoxious to the Roman Catholics were hugonots, protestants, Lutherans, and Calvinists; and as these words were then synonymous in their meaning, and implied renouncing the errors of the church of Rome, so all who were apprehended under the imputation of belonging to either, were equally martyred.

Concerning the Cathari, who were similar to the Waldenses, near the end of the twelfth century "The Dominican Rainerius gave 4,000,000 as a safe estimate of their number and declared this was according to a census made by the Cathari themselves" [Philip Schaff, History of the Christian Church, 8 volumes (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdman's, 1910; reprint, 1978), Volume V, Chapter X]. Of course nearly all of the Cathari were killed. They were said to be very zealous for their faith, and few would have recanted. In addition, if the Cathari conducted a census, they must have been a cohesive group. There must have been many other "heretics" that had similar beliefs but were not part of the Cathari; it would be reasonable to estimate at least 8 million when these were included. This would imply that the number of those killed by the Papacy before the Reformation was 8 million or more, especially when one considers the hundreds of years that elapsed since the Papacy was established.
For evidence that there were many sects
during this time and that they were very numerous and willing to die for their
faith rather than to recant, Neander [General History of the Christian Religion and
Church: Translated from the German of Dr. Augustus Neander by Joseph Torrey, Volume VI,
This sect [Thondracians, a sect of Paulicians], though it met with no mercy from the bishops, at whose instigation it was fiercely persecuted, continually revived, and spread [p. 343] widely in Armenia. At one time, in particular, about the year 1002 it made the most alarming progress …. [p. 342]
The corruption of the clergy furnished the heretics a most important vantage-ground from which to attack the dominant church and its sacraments. The ignorance of the people on religious subjects exposed them to be continually deceived by those who were seeking, on whatever side, to work upon the minds of the multitude. The fickle populace were excited sometimes by the fiery appeals of the heretics … to abhorrence of their corrupt clergy …; and sometimes, by the influence of the clergy, to fanatical fury against the heretics, who were represented as utterly irreligious and godless men. [p. 348]
Except in the case of one ecclesiastic and
one nun, all the pains which were taken to reclaim them from their errors, in
other words, to induce them to recant, were to no purpose. The others, thirteen in number, were
condemned to the stake, and died there.
[p. 354, speaking of members of a sect at
The sufferings to which they [a sect of Gerhard] were exposed on account of their doctrines, they encountered cheerfully, considering them as means of expiating sins committed before and in the present life ….Those therefore who were deprived of the privilege of dying as martyrs, died cheerfully under self-inflicted tortures. [p. 361]
… the fury with which the Catharists were persecuted in the thirteenth century may have contributed to promote among them this fanatical seeking after death; and we meet with examples which show that they inflicted death on themselves in these ways, to avoid falling victims to the inquisitions. [Volume VIII, p. 319]
The Catharists were zealous in disseminating their principles everywhere; they were careful to improve every favorable circumstance for this purpose, and seized upon every occurrence which could serve as a means to it. …the heretics, who at the peril of their lives traveled about from village to village and from house to house. As merchants they frequented fairs and markets …. [p. 320]
The intrepidity and calmness with which the Catharists faced an excruciating death might well create an impression in their favour on those who were not altogether hardened by fanaticism. … The persecutions furthered the spread of the Catharists, who often held their meetings in obscure retreats, catacombs, and subterranean caves. … in 1231, many priests even were affected with the heresy, and the sharpest measures had to be employed in order to stay it. [p. 330]
Such was their boldness that, in open
defiance of the church, they [the Catharists]
proceeded to elect a pope for themselves, to act as supreme head over their
scattered communities. Such a pope
appears in
… not only people of rank left their possessions and joined them, but also clergymen, priests, monks, and nuns were among their adherents. And it is mentioned as a characteristic fact, that the rudest and most unlettered peasant who joined their sect, would in less than eight days gain so much knowledge of the Scriptures, that he could not be foiled in argument by any man. [p. 337, speaking of another sect]
… after he had laboured for ten years in those regions [Toulouse and Alby], Bernard of Clairvaux, in writing to a nobleman, could say, "The churches are without flocks, the flocks without priests, the priests are nowhere treated with due reverence, the churches are leveled down to synagogues, the sacraments are not esteemed holy, the festivals are no longer celebrated." … he [Bernard] means the priests had gone over to the Henricians …. [p. 349]
The corruption of the clergy had, even in places where the church-system of doctrine was still held fast, excited great dissatisfaction and violent complaints, as appears evident from the songs of the Troubadours, who came from these districts, where this tone of feeling is not to be mistaken. [p. 351]
Since then … the church had now to engage in a violent contest with tendencies of spirit struggling in opposition to her, continually multiplying and continually spreading,--a contest such as had never occurred before,--she must be driven … to employ every means at her command for the purpose of suppressing an insurrection which could not be put down by spiritual might alone. [p. 399]
… the
bishops … were no longer regarded in the communities with the requisite
respect. This was especially the case in
Innocent the Third … well understood that extraordinary measures were needed to suppress the heretical tendencies so rapidly advancing, which threatened wholly to sever the connection betwixt these districts and the church of Rome. … he chose for his instruments the monks … the germ of the future inquisitions. [p. 401]
After the land had been laid waste for thirty years, the blood of thousands had been spilt, and a general submission had thus, in the year 1229, been finally brought about by force, the maintenance of the faith was still by no means secured for the future. The sects destroyed by fire and sword sprang up afresh out of the same needs of the spirit from which they had sprung up at the beginning. [p. 404]
of these sects were essentially Protestants, so
that many of their martyrs can be included in the figure of 50 million
Protestants killed by the Papacy. Perrin, who
was a leading Waldensian minister, writes [History of the Waldenses,
Book I, Chapter III, 1618] that the Waldenses were called by many names
including Albigenses,
Henricians, and
Arnoldists and that many false accusations were made
against them in order to induce the secular powers to persecute them. They were also called Cathari,
Arians, and
Manichees. In Chapter VI and VIII Perrin shows that the
beliefs of the Waldenses were very similar to those of the later
Protestants. In Chapter VIII Perrin
shows how the teachings of the Waldenses spread to
Where does the figure of 15 million killed in
the period 1518 and 1548 in war and the Inquisition come from?
It is possible to conjecture about this as well, considering the large
numbers of people even in Catholic countries that were accepting
Protestantism. Jortin writes, "…at the time of the Reformation,
when multitudes of Heretics and Schismatics, as they called them, arose in all
places …" [Jortin,
John, 1698-1770. Sermons on different subjects, by the late Reverend John
Jortin, ...
Wherever Protestantism appeared, it was viciously persecuted, both in the period from 1518 to 1548 and later. Concerning the period from 1518 to 1548, R.B. writes [R.B., The scarlet whore, or, the wicked abominations, horrid cruelties and persecutions of the Pope and Church of Rome …, Macnair, Glasgow, 1779]
About the year 1523 Martin Luther begain to shine as a great light in Germany, and
his doctrine soon overspread Bohemia, and
all the parts adjoining; which so enraged the pope and his clergy that they
continually raised very violent persecutions against them, wherein multitudes
of good Christians lost their lives by means of Ferdinand I. and

In 1522 Hadrian the Sixth incited the princes of

[Speaking of
With so many persons accepting Protestantism,
the total number killed would have been large.
Kurtz [History of the Church , p. 162] says, "In
Hungary the number of Protestants was reduced one-half, by various intrigues and
enticements." Freeman [p. 281] writes, "Meanwhile, at the other end
of Ferdinand's
dominions, the Protestants of Hungary revolted, and for a while turned him out
of that kingdom also." Also, [p. 303]

source [Wylie The History of Protestantism, Volume Third -
Book Twentieth, Chapter 3] says that
The Romanists had all the means of aggression in their own hands. The Protestants could hope, at best, for nothing better than a gradual extinction. The Jesuits were at work here, as everywhere, and their diabolical principles were soon to work the ruin of their defenseless adversaries.
Speaking of Siebenbuergen, Newman [p. 305] writes,
In 1523 and 1525 rigorous imperial laws were promulgated against the spread of the new doctrine. "All Lutherans are to be extirpated from the kingdom, and wherever they may be found are to be freely seized and burned, not only by ecclesiastical but also by secular persons" (Diet of Pesth, 1525).
Siebenbuergen is known in English as
The correspondence of the time, the careful records of public and private conferences, and the exceedingly full and well-preserved archival materials, give us an inside view of the process by which the Counter-Reformation was inaugurated and carried out to its bitter end…. [Speaking of Charles] He was led to believe that the salvation of his soul and the permanent holding of his hereditary possessions depended upon his remorseless persecution of heretics. At a conference of Catholic princes at Munich (October, 1579) Charles was urged to enter with vigor upon the work, and the princes bound themselves mutually to give each other all needful assistance in suppressing rebellion among their subjects…. The Jesuits were already present in force, and they were ready to be the chief instruments in the destruction of Protestantism….
The Protestants struggled heroically, as long as successful resistance
seemed possible. Nowhere do we find a
nobler type of Lutheranism than in this region. No country in

"Hello? Hello? If you picked up the phone, chances are you made a poor career choice. Anyways, let's get started with your new job at the amazing plants vs. zombies wiki facility! Uh, first, I need to notificate you about something...uh...do you know the admins? 1000 edits, powerful, great, ring a bell? You've probably already heard about the bots that were implanted into them as part of the new generation of editors...uh, well...let's get straight to the point: They are malfunctioning and now the admins act aggressive towards low staff members and old users. They interact with new users and other admins just fine, but when they see another user, they just...become evil. Now, this may sound like a problem, but there is really nothing to worry about. You can use your monitor to keep track of them, and remember to shut the doors if you hear someone heading towards your office. BUT, there's a small problem: The doors have window. and if an admin sees you through one of those, you are dead meat. They will disable the doors. The solution? You have your own someone456 head! When an admin bangs at your door, put in on, and eventually anything that wanders in, will wander back out. Also, it's a nice detail that you have your own reprogramming light! Use it if the doors just don't do it for you, but please keep in mind it has limited power. Oh, another thing, you can remotely turn on and off the lights of every room with your monitor, so don't worry about the place going dark. This may also help you scare away incoming admins. Uh, one last thing, see the vents on both sides of your office? The doors and mask won't work for them, so you must use the light for this case. Good night and good luck."

CSI: Miami has been on the air for eight seasons (whoa!), but I don't think I've ever watched an entire episode.
Tonight I'll be exploring new territory when I catch CSI's special ep directed by horror master/musician Rob Zombie.
"In the opening scene, it'll seem obvious (that I was the director)," Zombie tells the New York Daily News. "But I wasn't trying to disrespect the show by disregarding anything they've done. I wasn't trying to turn it into something different."
Zombie brings several of his friends along for the ride. Tonight's guest stars include Malcolm McDowell, Michael Madsen, William Forsythe, ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons, and the director's wife, Sheri Zombie.
It's hard to imagine how the blood-and-gore-loving filmmaker was able to create anything that suited CBS' standards.
"I was doing a scene with Michael Madsen and he asked, 'Can I be smoking a cigarette in this scene?'" he says in this interview. "I was like, 'I don't know, let's ask a producer.' (The producer) was like 'No no no, CBS says no smoking.' ... People would ask, 'This person's stabbed, how much blood shall we use?' and I was like, 'As much as we can for TV, I guess.' I was amazed at some of the things we did get away with."
Zombie said his mom is a fan, so he's glad she can watch something he has worked on. (I guess she probably skipped The Devil's Rejects.) If your mom watches CSI: Miami, you may want to warn her.
A preview:
CSI: Miami airs at 10 ET.

Description Edit
Executed by performing a half-circle back motion and pressing punch, Birdie grabs the foe and head-butts them a number of times depending on the punch button pressed. Light punch does two hits, medium punch does three and heavy punch does four. In all cases, the last hit knocks the foe back.

Initially, the concept of meditation represented a remote state of being I might one day aspire to. Most days I was more focused on survival than enlightenment. I was diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic when I was 9, and I was an extremely brittle one at that. My childhood, not uniquely, was filled with lots of drama. My way of coping with this was to become astoundingly impervious to the chaos around me. I developed an apathy that I carried into relationships and finally into an equally tempestuous marriage. Any buzz on the spiritual tip was welcomed but most likely drug induced. It was as if I didn't count my actual experiences as anything connected to spirit. It was as if I had to be different than who I was, and THEN I would start to meditate. I had my son in 1993 and though I gestated and nursed him for a year without drugs or alcohol, I don't think there was even a day between weaning him off the boob and diving back into the bottle myself. I sobered up in 1996. I left my marriage and trudged down a different path. I seemed to be ruled by the ups and downs of diabetes. The rise and fall of my blood sugar continued to be downright unpredictable despite rigid diet, diligent, exercise regimes and supplemental, alternative treatments, but it strengthened my discipline, and I slowly became more comfortable in my own skin.
I did ALL of it in an attempt to heal myself, as if that healing was my spiritual connection. Yoga, acupuncture, breathwork, NA + AA step work, Ayervedic diet, chelation of heavy metals. I removed my metal fillings, visited John of God in Brazil, soma sessions, celibacy, vitamin pushes, laying of hands, speaking in tongues, reading of cards, fasts, raw foods, healers, psychics and ayahuasca ceremonies. One time, my boyfriend and I even agreed to put ourselves in large plastic bags filled with mineralized goop, be immersed in a hot water tub that spun and have alien implants picked off of us by this kooky wild eyed scientist who ran some sort of laser beam up and down our bodies (naked bodies) when we emerged. Let's just keep that one between us.
Meditation for me doesn't really resemble the lotus position and long Oms with incense burning. Being present in whatever task I'm taking on is meditation for me when it becomes a mindful offering. I meditate while I cook, write, or play music. I practice presence when I parent and negotiate the ongoing divorced parent's extravaganza in relation to raising a kid. I try my best to navigate the relationship hills and valleys, and chew the cud while finding the family values in my own tribe of gypsies. It's all an exercise in tolerance, compassion and humility. Most of my alternative healing exploits have been a constructive stroke for me finding peace of mind. Ayahuasca ceremonies are high on that list. I'm still not sure where my prayers go to, but I feel pretty positive we're closer to God than the fishes are to the ocean, and when we praise the beauty of God, it's an opportunity to fill our soul with light and joy. I'd say, as long as the intent is productive, there is no wrong way…

First we had the town council man with the Klingon resignation letter and now we have our very first town council Pastafarian swearing in ceremony.
Pomfret, New York's newest town council member Christopher Schaeffer just got sworn into public office wearing a colander on his head.
He's also breaking new ground. According to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster's site, for which Schaeffer is a minister as well as a practitioner, he's the first Pastafarian to be officially sworn in wearing the traditional colander.
Personally, I hope he's starting a trend.

The Omagh Bombing
At 3:10pm a maroon Vauxhall Cavalier parked on a main shopping street explodes. It sends molten metal hundreds of feet. Shattered glass from shops scythes down the street. The semtex triggered 500 pound fertiliser explosive collapses walls as roofs are blown off buildings. The blast wave is so powerful that some bodies simply disintegrate. 21 die instantly. The effects on other human bodies are nearly indescribable.
"The injuries are horrific, from amputees, to severe head injuries to serious burns, and among them are women and children."
Paul McCormick, Northern Ireland Ambulance Service BBC News Online, August 1998
And the single worst terrorist atrocity of the Northern Ireland 'Troubles' will claim more lives:
"And it was then that I looked down, and saw that my foot was not just there anymore."
Suzanne Travis, survivor
OMAGH (Before the bomb)
Omagh is about an hour west of Belfast. It's the sort of small town where during the week you naturally say hello to people passing on the street. But British troops still patrol what many believe are Irish streets. They came to protect the Catholic minority in 1972. Since then, many believe they protect only the Protestants and enforce British rule. Just the name of the Northern Ireland police force, the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC), is a source of bitter resentment. It first word, 'Royal', angers Irish republicans who don't see themselves as subjects of the British Queen.
Omagh is a 60-40 Catholic-Protestant ratio and most of its troubles come from outsiders. Ireland itself seems on the brink of better times. Just 13 weeks previously, the Good Friday Agreement has been signed. Opposing sides that have warred for centuries, and especially bitterly in the last three decades, have signed up to a blueprint of how they will work peacefully together. Religious and political co-existence seems possible.
That Saturday, 15 August 1998, is busier than usual because parents from surrounding areas have come for the specialist school uniform shops as a new term approaches.
No one suspects anything when two men park a red car near to one of these clothes shops. The neatly dressed men in their 20s get out of the car and walk off. It's 2:19pm.
At 2:30pm, a TV station receives a bomb threat:
"There's a bomb, courthouse. Omagh, main street, 500 pounds, explosion 30 minutes"
The caller gives a code-word used in previous bombings. This isn't a hoax. The police are informed. They have less than half an hour. The police operation begins and they start moving people away from the courthouse. For the shoppers, the police instructions aren't a cause for panic. Bomb alerts are a routine part of life. Tragically, the police are moving them towards the blast area.
OMAGH (After the bomb)
A chemist is raided for supplies. The contents of a curtain shop are taken to cover the dead. Survivors dig with their bare hands through the rubble for anyone buried. A leisure centre becomes a casualty field centre and temporary morgue. Ambulances, and even buses and cars are used to ferry survivors to hospitals. An ambulance crashes into a car and kills its driver. The phone system collapses as relatives ring for news. News reporters give up their mobiles so medical services can keep up communications. The bomb blast deafens many so shouts mix with screams. A burst water main floods the bomb site. Blood and body parts float down the street. A bus full of bodies is about to leave when someone stops it to hand in a severed arm.
At the hospital, Suzanne Travis, who had been out shopping for fruit and veg with her mother, is told her wound is so 'messy', that doctors can't stem the bleeding. She's already lost her foot but they need to remove more. She needs to give them written permission before they operate,
"I had to sign that form then that night, to give them permission to take more of my leg away."
Suzanne's mother is also being operated on. She slips into a coma.
But the last to die will be businessman Sean McGrath. He'd come into town for a haircut. He dies from injuries sustained on the streets where he was born 61 years earlier. Twenty nine people die as a result of the attack and a further 220 are injured. Even the leader of the nationalist party Sinn Fein, Martin McGuiness, a former IRA commander, condemns the attack.
The bomb kills not only Protestants, but Catholics and just as pointlessly, a Mormon teenager. In total, five teenagers, six children, a pregnant woman and her unborn twins also die on Market Street, Omagh.

There are many ways to celebrate engineering. It all starts with you and what makes sense in your community or workplace. Here are some ideas to get you started.
1. Gather colleagues together for coffee or tea
Take 10 minutes to discuss all of the ways engineering has improved our quality of life. Reflecting on our profession's accomplishments is a great way to remind yourself why you do this work.
2. Organize a lunch or dinner
Celebrate the achievements of your colleagues in engineering at a Global Day of the Engineer lunch or dinner. Take pictures and post them on Facebook, Instagram and/or Twitter using the hashtag #GlobalEngineer. Be sure to tag DiscoverE, too!
3. Secure a public proclamation
Provide information about the engineering profession to your local public official, and ask that official (mayor, governor, other) for a resolution recognizing the contributions made by engineers.
4. Share engineering with others
Do you know an engineer working on an interesting or exciting project? Ask him or her to present at a science café. These low-key events take place in coffee shops and pubs around the world. Find a science café near you or learn how to organize one at sciencecafe.org.
5. Create a public display
An exhibit at a library, museum or other public place is an engaging way to celebrate. Pick one or two local engineering accomplishments and showcase them through colorful pictures and short descriptions.
6. Recognize an individual
Does your engineering society or company host an awards program? Nominate a colleague who is doing good work.
However you decide to celebrate, post it on the event calendar.

I worked at Imerys full-time (More than 3 years)
Imerys will provide as much opportunity as you can handle. Nearly all positions are challenging and exciting. You will gain a lot of knowledge if you can handle the work load.
It is one of the best experiences you can get in finance because there is so much exposure to day-to-day operations.
The international exposure is a major upside.
The San Jose CA office recently relocated from Santa Barbara which housed the divisions World Minerals & Celite.
In my opinion, micromanagement, arrogance and politics define the experience. The culture is similar to an accounting or consulting firm with minimal diversity and grueling work loads. Inspiration and creativity will not serve you well, instead focus on endurance.
Too few at Imerys have sufficient knowledge of markets, customers or products/technology. This may be because of high turnover in the positions that manage this information. Given this lack of knowledge-management, spreadsheets seem to be the main tool for strategic decisions.
Imerys is not family friendly, there are frequent disruptions to evenings and weekends. Meetings are routinely taken past midnight. Vacations are disrupted with conference calls and last minute requests.
Most positions exclusively manage-up, mentoring is virtually absent.
The closer your position is to a customer, the less likely it will be enjoyable, the closer your position is to the investor, the more likely you will find it rewarding.
Advice to Management
Look at how much time managers are "managing up". Invest in knowledge management.

It has very Large Plant. It gives the chance to have large exposure from Operations to marketing. It has Quite good big R&D lab even. One of the best places for people who are looking to enter to Mining Industry.
Moreover, here people are from different countries like france, India, USA etc. It gives the chance to interact with different cultures.
As It is a very old plant, most of the machines are very hard to maintain.It is not that tech savvy plant. Things are bit messy here. Even people are from different cultures, dominating culture is USA not French. So, Overall culture is different from HQ, france.
Advice to Management
Make it more centralized and systematic process for this plant. Things are not organized here. High need to spend some money on this plant.

Fun, exciting, challenging, great people to work with.

No advice. You are doing a great job!

Gov. Gray Davis of California, turning to one of the Democratic Party's traditional pillars of support, received the backing today of the A.F.L.-C.I.O. in his recall election.
The executive council of the national labor organization, meeting in Chicago, approved a resolution that opposed the recall and endorsed a central component of Governor Davis's strategy: that no prominent Democrat should run as a possible successor to him.
''We call on all state leaders in the Democratic Party to stand united with the governor, and stay off the recall ballot,'' the resolution said. The council's vote was unanimous, said one official in attendance, Art Pulaski, executive secretary-treasurer of the California Labor Federation, a group that took a similar stand over the weekend.
The action by the national organization followed Governor Davis's appearance before the group on Monday. The support came at a crucial time for the governor, who has been warding off critics in his party as Saturday's filing deadline for candidates to replace him nears.
Many Democrats are anxious about the party's decision to stick by Governor Davis and not field a candidate on the portion of the ballot that will ask voters to select a successor should he lose the recall vote, now set for Oct. 7.Continue reading the main story
United States Representative Loretta Sanchez, a Democrat from Orange County, said today that Democrats ''deserve to have a choice'' on the replacement ballot. Ms. Sanchez said her choice would be United States Senator Dianne Feinstein, but if she remained on the sidelines Ms. Sanchez would consider running.
''It is a possibility,'' she said. ''I am a very reluctant candidate. I am going to be up to the last minute asking Dianne to run.''
So far, 389 people have indicated an interest in appearing on the ballot, including many Democrats, but none of the state's top Democratic officials has broken ranks with Governor Davis, according to the secretary of state.
In another show of solidarity with Governor Davis, the Democratic National Committee issued a letter today, signed by nine presidential candidates, opposing the recall and calling it a ''partisan Republican effort'' aimed at furthering ''the right-wing agenda'' of President Bush and other Republicans in Washington.
The letter called California an important ''Democratic holdout'' against the Republicans, sidestepping any mention of Governor Davis's low job performance ratings or the state's budget problems.
The double dose of good news pleased supporters of the governor.
''We are delighted that labor unions and the vast majority of the Democratic Party continue to stand with Governor Davis,'' said Peter Ragone of Californians Against the Costly Recall, a committee formed by Governor Davis. ''I hope the few strays out there take notice.''
The California Labor Federation sent a letter on Monday to the state's Democratic elected officials alerting them to the ''unequivocal position of the labor movement'' on the recall.
''I am telling people that you have to stand on your principles,'' Mr. Pulaski said in a telephone news conference from Chicago. ''We are not guided here merely by the short term or practical reaction of politics, but a principle upon which we stand, that this is a hijacking of an election.''
Mr. Pulaski acknowledged that many Californians were unhappy with Governor Davis and frustrated with the state's problems.
But he said he was confident that his members would rally around the governor once the case was made that the recall was the work of ''extreme members'' of the Republican Party. He singled out Representative Darrell Issa, the San Diego Republican who financed a large part of the signature-gathering for the recall to qualify.
Though decisions about financial support from the unions were not made, Mr. Pulaski predicted that it would be a ''significant'' amount.
Supporters of the recall predicted that Governor Davis, even with the backing of the labor leadership, would be unable to turn the tide of discontent.
''I think what's happening today is one last desperate attempt by Davis's labor allies to hold the fort,'' said Phil Paule, director of Rescue California, one of the main pro-recall groups. ''If I were labor right now, I wouldn't risk my future on a failed California governor.''
Mr. Paule said that the pro-recall groups were preparing legal responses today to lawsuits challenging the election, including one filed on Monday on behalf of Governor Davis, that are being considered by the California Supreme Court. He said that Rescue California received donations of $50,000 each on Monday from Mr. Issa and the actor Arnold Schwarzenegger to help cover the mounting legal costs. It was Mr. Schwarzenegger's first contribution.
Mr. Schwarzenegger has said he will announce Wednesday whether he will enter the race. The columnist Arianna Huffington has also called a news conference for Wednesday, and is expected to run.Continue reading the main story

Lenskart is India's fastest growing optical business. The company was co-founded in 2010 by Peyush Bansal, Amit Chaudhary & Sumeet Kapahi to provide Vision to India. 1/3rd of India's population today needs vision correction and only 25% of those in need wear specs. Lenskart was founded in 2010 with a vision to solve this problem of eye wear and be the Numero Uno eyewear provider in India. With technology integration into the eyewear vertical, and keeping a deep focus on consumer happiness, Lenskart has grown more than 200% Year on Year in the last 2 years to be among the top 3 Optical Retail businesses of India today. With a 600 people team and revenues of slightly over 100 Cr, the company is continuing to grow 15% MOM and changing the landscape of Indian eyewear with its very unique services and products such as:
- Buying specs online with "Virtual Try On"
- Home Eye Checkup service in 7 cities with over 300+ eye check ups every day at consumer's houses
- 60 Click & Mortar Stores PAN India (including tier 2 and 3 cities) as centers for people to get their eyes checked and book orders online as well as get their post sale adjustments done
- Network of Affiliate Doctors who place orders for their consumers online on the lenskart platform
Majority of Lenskart eye-frames and prescription lenses are designed in-house and come to consumer directly from manufacturing to retail. Post a spectacle order is received, each frame is individually fitted with the respective prescription in company's own in-house state-of-the-art (first in India) manufacturing facility, before it is dispatched. By owning the process end to end, company not only provides 1 year warranty on all products sold but also a significant 50% price benefit over any other optical chain in India. Lenskart raised its first round of funding of 22 Cr INR from IDG Ventures India (IDGVI) in 2011 when company was selling 30 specs a day online. In 2013, when company was selling nearly 200 specs online per day, Ronnie Screwvala led Unilazer Ventures, along with IDG again, invested around INR 53 crores in the company. Today Lenskart is making nearly 2000 specs a day shipped pan India and has so far shipped over 10 Lac specs across the country. Company has recently raised Private equity investment from TPG Growth of 22 million USD to fulfill its vision to be India's Number One eyewear provider by 2016.

In the late 90s, I was an organizer during the WTO Protests where I was shot in the face by a nonlethal weapon. Fred Diamondstone stood by my side as I sued the Seattle Police Department for police brutality.
Fred made what could have been a laborious and anxiety-ridden process simple. He was meticulous while being a counselor in the truest sense. His work changed my life. The settlement that we received helped me fund a Masters Degree -- and an apology letter from then Mayor of Seattle!
Posted by Rachel
I feel extremely satisfied to have had Fred represent my family when we were injured in a car accident. My husband and I had pre-existing injuries and as a result the insurance company tried to bully my family to end our medical treatment early and threatened not to pay our medical bills. Fred worked diligently to be sure that not only our medical providers were reimbursed but that we earned a fair settlement for our pain and suffering. Fred was a strong advocate and allay to us in a time of great vulnerability. He even provided support in the form of accompanying my husband and I to doctors visits when our Insurance company tried to challenge our medical treatment! I would recommend Fred Diamondstone to anyone faced with a situation where he has experience. He is very straight forward, knowledgeable and helpful. He is the best of the best.
Posted by Maque
I went back to Fred once again, after being struck in another car accident. My case is complex, as I have a pre-existing aliment that is strongly affected by sudden impacts. He took the time to figure out where I stood in this case, negotiated a fair settle for both parties, and spoke frankly to me to keep me on a even track. I am satisfied that he earned his fee, and treated me fairly.
Posted by anonymous
Fred Diamondstone has provided our organization with expert legal advice, and performed his duties with exemplary professionalism, ease and grace. Fred is greatly respected in our community, and Fred's strategic thinking and command of the law has been invaluable as we have encountered several legal obstacles. We have been proud to have Fred representing us, and we would recommend Fred Diamondstone to anyone who needs a good business or constitutional attorney
Posted by anonymous
Fred is an immensely skilled lawyer. He acts with great integrity and diligence.
He tends to be somewhat pessimistic in his assessments, which is helpful. I find that I can thoroughly rely on his advice and judgment.
I would enthusiastically recommend Fred in all of the the areas in which he practices.

After much delay, the YouView service and PVR made by Humax – the DTR-T1000 – have launched. Designed to combine regular Freeview HD content with catch-up TV services and additional content, all accessible from a single electronic programme guide (EPG), it's the first PVR of its type.
Here we outline some of our findings but you can see the full in-depth YouView review on the Which? website.
What is YouView?
YouView is a new service that combines Freeview with the internet catch-up TV services from all the four main broadcasters (BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, 4oD and Demand 5) and makes them all accessible from one on-screen electronic programme guide.
Crucially, it's a free service – there's no contract and no subscription for accessing the Freeview and catch-up content, though additional services may charge. For example, it currently gives you access to Now TV from Sky, where you can watch films for between 99p to £3.49 per title or as many as you like for £15 per month.
While Humax makes the box, the software it runs is from YouView – a consortium made up of the major terrestrial TV broadcasters, BT and TalkTalk. It has a 500GB hard drive (good for around 250 hours of standard definition TV recordings) and two tuners, so you can record two programmes or watch one channel while watching another.
At £299 it's a pricey box, though TalkTalk and BT offer the box for free on subscriptions to their broadband products.
A minimum broadband speed of 3Mbps is recommended. But beware if you have a data cap on your broadband contract – you'll need to keep an eye on how much you're downloading or you could be charged extra. Watching an hour of high-definition programming on BBC iPlayer can use up more than 1GB of your data allowance.
How does the YouView programme guide work?
YouView's innovative programme guide lets you to scroll both backwards and forwards seven days in time. Scroll forward and it acts as a conventional PVR for recording future programs; scroll backwards and it shows those programmes that are available through the catch-up TV services. This only applies to channels from the four main broadcasters (BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and 5) and not every programme transmitted by these four is available. But compared to sometimes-tortuous navigation of smart TV apps, it's a big improvement.
However, we do have some complaints which we outline in our full YouView review.
What else do I need to know?
There's no wi-fi and no way to add it – Humax's own dongle doesn't work. This means you have to use a cable to your broadband router, or if it's not close by, powerline adapters (which use you home's electrical system) to connect the box to the internet – YouView sells them for £40 if bought at the same time as the box.

He was born on 8 July 1908 in Bar Harbor, Maine, United States, son of John Davison Rockefeller, Jr., and Abigail "Abby" Greene Aldrich. His paternal grandparents were the Standard Oil founder and chairman John Davison Rockefeller, Sr., and Laura Celestia Spelman, and his maternal grandparents were the Conservative Party Senator from Rhode Island, Nelson Wilmarth Aldrich, and Abby Pearce Truman Chapman, who was descended from the fourth signer of the Mayflower Compact.
He was elected President of the United States in the Presidential election of 1972, and took office on 20 January 1973, belonging to the Conservative Party. He succeeded the Conservative Charles Goodell, who chose not to seek a second term. However, he lost the presidential election of 1976 to the Democratic Party Presidential candidate, Harold Brown, who succeeded him on 20 January 1977.

Most fantasy drafts follow a script. In standard-scoring leagues, the first three picks should be running backs — most likely David Johnson, Le'Veon Bell and Ezekiel Elliott. Then the trio of top receivers, Antonio Brown, Odell Beckham, Jr. and Julio Jones, will likely come off the board. In a points-per-reception, or PPR league, one or two of those wideouts might crack the top three picks. And you can bet the top 10 receivers will all be gone by the end of the second round.
But sometime after the first seven rounds, the draft starts to go rogue.
Last season, players being drafted in the seventh round of ESPN fantasy football leagues had ownership rates ranging from 82 to 91...

I decided to try to run a deathstar in my CSM/Daemons army which is composed of Abaddon and Typhus in either a squad of 30 zombies or with 3 obilts (depends on the matchup). As I didn't like the idea of shelling out 25$ for what is currently an awful mold, I turned to the bit box. With some limited lord bits (only front torso, one shoulder pad, left claw, axe, and spike racks), a csm head, a ork nob should pad, and a black reach terminator I went at it and craft this baddddd dude. I really like how he looks. I decided to also for the first time try a non-metallic metallic paint job on the axe blade.

Heres Johnny! (Great Unclean One)
Just got to finishing up this GUO today. He didnt take as long as I expected, though I did leverage the airbrush to do most everything outside some of the detailing and armor. Im happy with how he turned out, though mid way thru I really felt something was missing (he had a dark purple tongue at the time). I went in added a little more detailing and went with the pink tongue to bring about some contrast to the model. This guy is going to be hitting a table top near you!
