The French Revolution
International: struggle for control and Empire outstrips the government revenue resources of the state
Political conflict: conflict between the Monarchy and the nobility over the "reform" of the tax system led to paralysis and bankruptcy.
The Enlightenment: impulse for reform intensifies political conflicts; reinforces traditional aristocratic constitutionalism, one unmovable of which was laid out in Montesquieu's Spirit of the Laws; introduces new notions of good government, the most radical being popular sovereignty, as in Rousseau's Social Contract [1762]; the attack on the regime and privileged class by the Literary Underground of "Grub Street;" the broadening influence of public opinion.
Social antagonisms between two rising groups: the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie
Ineffective ruler: Louis XVI
Economic hardship
The French Revolution was essentially a class war between the emerging Bourgeoisie against the Privileged class, this meant they saw the Privileged class as the only hurdle between themselves and equality within French society. Many of the ideas they pursued stemmed from the enlightenment and they believed that in order to gain their full economic, social and political potential and gain equality, the Bourgeoisie had to eradicate the privileges that were halting their rise in society. To do this they had to seize power for themselves and gaining power within the government and making badly needed changes, such as, improving the tax system, creating a fair system of production where profits went to the producer, improving the whole fiscal system of the government, improving the geographical divisions of France and the problems they caused, plus many more. The revolution was a fight for equality and recognition by the Bourgeoisie, it was not a revolt against poverty, for many of the French people had been living in poverty for centuries and had learnt to live with it.
For more than a century before the accession of Louis XVI in 1774, the French government had undergone periodic economic crises, resulting from the long wars waged during the reign of Louis XIV, royal mismanagement of national affairs under Louis XV, the losses incurred in the French and Indian War (1756-63), and increased indebtedness arising from loans to the American colonies during the American Revolution (1775-83). The advocates of fiscal, social, and governmental reform became increasingly vocal during the reign of Louis XVI. In August 1774, Louis appointed a liberal comptroller general, the economist Anne Robert Jacques Turgot, baron de L'Aulne, who instituted a policy of strict economy in government expenditures. Within two years, however, most of the reforms had been withdrawn and his dismissal forced by reactionary members of the nobility and clergy, supported by Queen Marie Antoinette. Turgot's successor, the financier and statesman Jacques Necker, similarly accomplished little before his downfall in 1781, also because of opposition from the reactionaries. Nevertheless, he won popular acclaim by publishing an accounting of the royal finances, which revealed the heavy cost of privileges and favoritism. During the next few years the financial crisis steadily worsened. Popular demand for convocation of the Estates-General (an assembly made up of representatives of the clergy, the nobility, and the commoners), which had been in adjournment since 1614, finally compelled Louis XVI in 1788 to authorize national elections. During the ensuing campaign, censorship was suspended, and a flood of pamphlets expressing ideas derived from the Enlightenment circulated throughout France. Necker, who was reinstated as comptroller general by Louis in 1788, supported the king in his decision that the third estate (commoners) would have as many representatives in the Estates-General as the first estate (the clergy) and the second estate (the nobility) combined, but both he and Louis failed to make a ruling on the method of voting.
On April 6 the convention established the Committee of Public Safety as the executive organ of the republic and reorganized the Committee of General Security and the Revolutionary Tribunal. Agents were sent to the departments to supervise local execution of the laws and to requisition men and munitions. During this period rivalry between the Girondists and the Montagnards became increasingly bitter. A new Parisian outburst, organized by the radical journalist Jacques René Hébert and his extremist colleagues, forced the convention to order the arrest of 29 Girondist delegates and the Girondist ministers Pierre Henri Hélène Marie Lebrun-Tondu and Étienne Clavière on June 2. Thereafter, the radical faction in control of the government of Paris played a decisive role in the conduct of the Revolution. On June 24 the convention promulgated a new constitution, the terms of which greatly extended the democratic features of the republic. The document was never actually put into effect, however. Leadership of the Committee of Public Safety passed, on July 10, to the Jacobins, who completely reorganized it. Three days later the radical politician Jean Paul Marat, long identified with the Jacobins, was assassinated by the aristocrat Charlotte Corday, a Girondist sympathizer. Public indignation over this crime considerably broadened the Jacobin sphere of influence. On July 27 the Jacobin leader Maximilien Robespierre was added to the Committee of Public Safety and soon became its dominant member. Aided by Louis Saint-Just, Lazare Carnot, Georges Couthon, and other prominent Jacobins, Robespierre instituted extreme policies to crush any possibility of counterrevolution. The powers of the committee were renewed monthly by the National Convention from April 1793 to July 1794, a period known in history as the Reign of Terror.
The more intangible results of the Revolution were embodied in its watchwords, "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity." These ideals became the platform of liberal reforms in France and Europe in the 19th century and remain the present-day passwords of democracy. Revisionist historians, however, attribute to the Revolution less laudable effects, such as the rise of the highly centralized (often totalitarian) state and mass warfare involving total wars of nations-in-arms.

One international move, two years of intense work, nineteen examinations and more applications than I care to count, and it's all over.
The paperwork has been signed. It's official: I've accepted my training contract with Olswang, and I start September 1st!
I cannot adequately put into works how excited I am. Not just to be moving into the last stage of training, but to be doing so immediately. I had resigned myself to a two year gap, and of course made plans to use the time productively. I'm ecstatic to abandon them.
For the last several months, The Future has been one big constantly shifting order of operations puzzle. When and where do we want to have the wedding, and is that timing dictated by my leave to remain visa application? (It's not. Whew.) When should I start looking for full-time employment after exams? Are we going to move? Where, and when? What does that mean for Alasdair's employment? How are we going to schedule all these conventions when I may have interviews and assessment days? On and on and on. Many questions, few answers.
These last few weeks it's all started to click into place. This will be our third move in three years. Where hasn't been decided yet, but we've got a likely candidate, RightMove saved properties and tentative plans for a scouting trip along with offers of help from friends and family alike. But we'll make it work. We always do. Not to mention the HUGE job possibilities this makes possible for Alasdair.
But one thing at a time. Nine Worlds this weekend (#DragonLadies! Swordfighting!). LonCon next (US friends!). Then house-hunting and FantasyCon (Redcloaks!).
Onward, to bigger and better!

- This article describes speculative theories about Nazism. Historically verifiable religious or semi-religious aspects of Nazism up to 1945 are discussed in the article religious aspects of Nazism. Religious aspects of neo-Nazism after 1945 are discussed in the article esoteric Nazism. Semi-religious developments within post-1945 neo-Nazism are discussed under the term neo-völkisch movements.
Speculation about National Socialism and Occultism has become part of popular culture since 1960. Aside from several popular documentaries, there are numerous books on the topic, most notably Le Matin des Magiciens (1960) and The Spear of Destiny (1972); The first examples of this literary genre appeared in the occult milieu in France and England in the early 1940s. These books have been discussed by the historian Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke as "the modern Mythology of Nazi occultism" or "the Nazi Mysteries": The recurring element of this "occult historiography" is the thesis that the Nazis were directed by occult agencies of some sort: black forces, invisible hierarchies, unknown superiors, secret societies or even Satan, who is supposed to have possessed Hitler. Since such an agency "has remained concealed to previous historians of National Socialism,"[1] Goodrick-Clarke and the German historian Michael Rißmann have described the genre as cryptohistory. However, there also has been academic research on the potential influence of occultists and paganists on Nazism. This is part of an ongoing debate among historians and political scientist about the religious aspects of Nazism.
Documentaries on Nazism and the occult
More than 60 years after the end of the Third Reich, National Socialism and Adolf Hitler have become a recurring subject in history documentaries. Among these documentaries, there are several that focus especially on the potential relations between Nazism and Occultism, such as the History Channel's documentary Hitler and the Occult.[2][3] As evidence of Hitler's "occult power" this documentary offers, for example, the infamous statement by Joachim von Ribbentrop of his continued subservience to Hitler at the Nuremberg Trials.[4] After the author Dusty Sklar has pointed out that Hitler's suicide happened at the night of April 30/May 1, which is Walpurgis Night, the narrator continues: "With Hitler gone, it was as if a spell had been broken". A much more plausible reason for Hitler's suicide (that does not involve the paranormal) is that the Russians had already closed to within several hundred meters of Hitler's bunker and he did not want to be captured alive.
From the perspective of academic history, these documentaries on Nazism, if ever commented, are seen as problematic because they do not contribute to an actual understanding of the problems that arise in the study of Nazism and Neo-Nazism. Without referring to a specific documentary Mattias Gardell, a historian who studies contemporary separatist groups, writes:
- "In documentaries portraying the Third Reich, Hitler is cast as a master magician; these documentaries typically include scenes in which Hitler is speaking at huge mass meetings. [...] Cuts mix Hitler screaming with regiments marching under the sign of the swastika. Instead of providing a translation of his verbal crescendos, the sequence is overlaid with a speaker talking about something different. All this combines to demonize Hitler as an evil wizard spellbinding an unwitting German people to become his zombified servants until they are liberated from the spell by the Allied victory after which, suddenly, there were no German Nazis left among the populace. How convenient it would be if this image were correct. National socialism could be defeated with garlic. Watchdog groups could be replaced with a few vampire killers, and resources being directed into anti-racist community programs could be directed at something else. [...]
- The truth, however, is that millions of ordinary German workers, farmers and businessmen supported the national socialist program. [...] They were people who probably considered themselves good citizens, which is far more frightening than had they merely been demons."[5]
Hitler and the Occult includes a scene in which Hitler is seen as speaking at a huge mass meeting. While Hitler's speech is not translated, the narrator talks about the German occultist and stage magician Erik Jan Hanussen: "Occultists believe, Hanussen may also have imparted occult techniques of mind control and crowd domination on Hitler" (see below). When historians have noted the existence of such "myths" as those about Erik Jan Hanussen, they have displayed nothing but academic contempt for their originators.
Ernst Schäfer's expedition to Tibet
At least one documentary, Hitler's Search for the Holy Grail, includes footage from the 1939 German expedition to Tibet. The documentary describes it as "the most ambitious expedition" of the SS. This original video material was made accessible again by Marco Dolcetta in his series Il Nazismo Esoterico in 1994.[6] An interview that Dolcetta conducted with Schäfer does not support myths of Nazi occultism, neither does Reinhard Greve's 1995 article Tibetforschung im SS Ahnenerbe (Tibet Research Within the SS Ahnenerbe),[7] although the latter does mention the occult thesis.[6] Hakl comments that Greve should have emphasized the unreliability of authors like Berger and Pauwels or Angbert more.[6] Ernst Schäfer's expedition report explicitly remarks on the "worthless goings-ons" by "a whole army of quacksalvers" concerning Asia and especially Tibet.[6]
Mythology of Nazi occultism
"The Modern Mythology of Nazi Occultism" is the title of Appendix E of the Oxford historian Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke's seminal work The Occult Roots of Nazism. On nine pages, he here surveys the most influential books that have attempted to explain the rise of Nazism as the work of a "hidden power". That Goodrick-Clarke's book includes such an appendix is not without reason. The book's main subject is the racist-occult movement of Ariosophy, a major strand of Esotericism in Germany and Austria, and this movement's potential influences on Nazism. One specific difficulty of this topic lies in "a number of popular books [that] have represented the Nazi phenomenon as the product of arcane and demonic influence."[1] In a new preface for the 2004 edition of The Occult Roots… Goodrick-Clarke comments that in 1985, when his book first appeared, "Nazi 'black magic' was regarded as a topic for sensational authors in pursuit of strong sales."[8]
Consequently, Goodrick-Clarke comments on the popular literature in the Appendix of The Occult Roots…. He refers to the writers of this genre as "crypto-historians",[1] and as their possible motive he mentions a "post-war fascination with Nazism".[9] For Goodrick-Clarke it is clear that the claims made by this literature are "wholly spurious."[10]
In his 2002 work Black Sun, which was originally intended to trace the survival of "occult Nazi themes" in the postwar period,[11] Goodrick-Clarke considered it necessary to readdress the topic. He devotes one Chapter of the book to the Nazi mysteries,[12] as he terms the field of Nazi occultism there. Other reliable summaries of the development of the genre have been written by German historians. The German edition of The Occult Roots… includes an essay Nationalsozialismus und Okkultismus (National Socialism and Occultism), which traces the origins of the speculation about Nazi occultism back to publications from the late 1930s, and which was subsequently translated by Goodrick-Clarke into English. The German historian Michael Rißmann has also included a longer "excursus" about Nationalsozialismus und Okkultismus in his acclaimed book on Adolf Hitler's religious beliefs.[13]
According to Goodricke-Clarke the speculation of Nazi occultism originated from "post-war fascination with Nazism";[9] The "horrid fascination" of Nazism upon the Western mind[14] emerges from the "uncanny interlude in modern history" that it presents to an observer a few decades later.[9] The idolization of Hitler in Nazi Germany, its short lived and brutal dominion on the European continent and Nazism's irrational and gruesome Antisemitism set it apart from other periods of modern history.[14] "Outside a purely secular frame of reference, Nazism was felt to be the embodiment of evil in a modern twentieth-century regime, a monstrous pagan relapse in the Christian community of Europe."[14]
By the early 1960s, "one could now clearly detect a mystique of Nazism."[14] A sensationalistic and fanciful presentation of its figures and symbols, shorn of all political and historical contexts" gained ground with thrillers, non-fiction books and films and permeated "the milieu of popular culture."[14]
Some of this modern mythology even touches Goodrick-Clarke's topic directly. The rumor that Adolf Hitler had encountered Lanz von Liebenfels already at the age of 8, at Heilgenkreuz abbey, goes back to Les mystiques du soleil (1971) by Michel-Jean Angbert. "This episode is wholly imaginary."[15]
Nevertheless, Michel-Jean Angbert and the other authors discussed by Goodrick-Clarke present their accounts as real, so that this modern mythology has led to several legends that resemble conspiracy theories, concerning, for example, the Vril Society or rumours about Karl Haushofer's connection to the occult. The most influential books were Trevor Ravenscroft's The Spear of Destiny and Le Matin des Magiciens by Pauwels and Bergier.
In Ravenscroft's book a specific interest of Hitler concerning the Spear of Destiny is alleged. With the annexation of Austria in 1938, the Hofburg Spear, a relic stored in Vienna, had actually come into the possession of the Third Reich and Hitler subsequently had it moved to Nuremberg in Germany. It was returned to Austria after the war.
Claims of Nazi occultism
Demonic possession of Hitler
For a demonic influence on Hitler, Hermann Rauschning's Hitler Speaks is brought forward as source,[16] although most modern scholars do not consider Rauschning reliable.[17] (As Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke summarises, "recent scholarship has almost certainly proved that Rauschning's conversations were mostly invented".)[18] Similarly to Rauschning, August Kubizek, one of Hitler's closest friends since childhood, claims that Hitler—17 years old at the time—once spoke to him of "returning Germany to its former glory"; of this comment August said, "It was as if another being spoke out of his body, and moved him as much as it did me."[19]
That Hitler (and also Stalin) were possessed by the devil is also believed by some members of the Catholic Church. Father Gabriele Amorth, an exorcist of the Vatican is "convinced that the Nazis were all possessed. All you have to do is think about what Hitler—and Stalin did. Almost certainly they were possessed by the Devil."[20] There even are documents that Pope Pius XII performed an exorcism on Hitler at a distance, but supposedly failed every time.[20]
An article "Hitler's Forgotten Library" by Timothy Ryback, published in The Atlantic (May 2003)[21], mentions a book from Hitler's private library authored by Dr. Ernst Schertel. Schertel, whose interests were flagellation, dance, occultism, nudism and BDSM, had also been active as an activist for sexual liberation before 1933. He had been imprisoned in Nazi Germany for seven months and his doctoral degree was revoked.[22] He is supposed to have sent a dedicated copy of his 1923 book Magic: History, Theory, and Practice to Hitler some time in the mid-1920s. Hitler is said to have marked extensive passages, including one which reads "He who does not have the demonic seed within himself will never give birth to a magical world." The quote was previously mistranslated as "a new world" in Ryback's article. An English translation of Magic is due June 2009.[23]
Theosophist Alice A. Bailey stated during World War II that Adolf Hitler was possessed by what she called the Dark Forces.[24] Her follower Benjamin Creme has stated that through Hitler (and a group of equally evil men around him in Nazi Germany, together with a group of militarists in Japan and a further group around Mussolini in Italy) was released the energies of the Antichrist, which, according to theosophical teachings is not an individual person but a destructive force of energy.
New World Order
Conspiracy theory "cults frequently identify German National Socialism inter alia as a precursor of the New World Order."[25] With regard to Hitler's later ambition of imposing a National Socialist regime throughout Europe, Nazi propaganda used the term Neuordnung (often poorly translated as "new order", while actually referring to "re-structurization" of state borders on the European map and the resulting post-war economic hegemony of Greater Germany),[26] so one could probably say that the Nazis pursued "a" new world order. But the claim that Hitler and the Thule Society conspired to create "the" New World Order (as put forward on some webpages)[27] is completely unfounded; the Thule Society did not have this impact on Nazism and Hitler never attended any of their meetings.[28]
Aleister Crowley
There are also unverifiable rumours that the occultist Aleister Crowley sought to contact Hitler during World War II. Despite several allegations and speculations to the contrary (e.g. Giorgio Galli) there is no evidence of such an encounter.[29] In 1991, John Symonds, one of Crowley's literary executors published a book: The Medusa's Head or Conversations between Aleister Crowley and Adolf Hitler, which has "definitely" to be understood as a literary fiction.[29] That the edition of this book was limited to 350 also contributed to the mystery surrounding the topic.[29] Mention of a contact between Crowley and Hitler—without any sources or evidence—is also being made in a letter from René Guénon to Julius Evola dated October 29, 1949, which later reached a broader audience.[29]
Erik Jan Hanussen
When Hitler and the Occult describes how Hitler "seemed endowed with even greater authority and charisma" after he had resumed public speaking in March 1927, the documentary states that "this may have been due to the influence" of Erik Jan Hanussen. It is said that "Hanussen helped Hitler perfect a series of exaggerated poses," useful for speaking before a huge audience. The documentary then interviews Dusty Sklar about the contact between Hitler and Hanussen, and the narrator makes the statement about "occult techniques of mind control and crowd domination".
Whether Hitler had met Hanussen at all is not certain. That he even encountered him before March 1927 is not confirmed by other sources about Hanussen. In the late 1920s to early 1930s Hanussen made political predictions in his own newspaper, Hanussens Bunte Wochenschau, that gradually started to favour Hitler, but until late 1932 these predictions varied.[30] In 1929 Hanussen predicted, for example, that Wilhelm II would return to Germany in 1930 and that the problem of unemployment would be solved in 1931.[30]
Crypto-historic books on Nazi occultism
In the essay that is included in the German edition of the The Occult Roots…, H. T. Hakl, a German publisher of esoteric works,[31] traces the origins of the speculation about National Socialism and Occultism back to several works from the early 1940s. His research was also published in a short book, Unknown sources: National Socialism and the Occult, translated by Goodrick-Clarke. Already in 1933 a pseudonymous Kurt van Emsen described Hitler as a "demonic personality", but his work was soon forgotten.[32] The first allusions that Hitler was directed by occult forces which were taken up by the later authors came from French Christian esotericist René Kopp.[33] In two articles published in the monthly esoteric journal Le Chariot from June 1934 and April 1939, he seeks to trace the source of Hitler's power to supernatural forces.[33] The second article was titled: "L'Enigme du Hitler".[33] In other French esoteric journals of the 1930s, Hakl could not find similar hints.[33] In 1939 another French author, Edouard Saby, published a book: Hitler et les Forces Occultes.[34] Saby already mentions Hanussen and Ignaz Trebitsch-Lincoln.[35] Hakl even hints that Edouard Saby would have the copyright on the myth of Nazi occultism.[35] However, another significant book from 1939 is better known: Hermann Rauschning's Hitler Speaks. There it is said (in the chapter "Black and White Magic"), that "Hitler surrendered himself to forces that carried him away. (…) He turned himself over to a spell, which can, with good reason and not simply in a figurative analogy, be described as demonic magic." The chapter "Hitler in private" is even more dramatic, and was left out in the German edition from 1940.[36]
Goodrick-Clarke examines several pseudo-historic "books written about Nazi occultism between 1960 and 1975", that "were typically sensational and under-researched".[37] He terms this genre "crypto-history", as its defining element and "final point of explanatory reference is an agent which has remained concealed to previous historians of National Socialism".[1] Characteristic tendencies of this literature include: (1) "a complete ignorance of primary sources" and (2) the repetition of "inaccuracies and wild claims", without the attempt being made to confirm even "wholly spurious 'facts'".[10] Books debunked in Appendix E of The Occult Roots of Nazism are:
- Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier, 1960, Le Matin des Magiciens[38]
- Dietrich Bronder, 1964, Bevor Hitler kam[39]
- Trevor Ravenscroft, 1972, The Spear of Destiny[40]
- Michel-Jean Angbert, 1971, Les mystiques du soleil[15]
- J.H. Brennan, 1974, Occult Reich[39]
These books are only mentioned in the Appendix. Otherwise the whole book by Goodrick-Clarke does without any reference to this kind of literature; it uses other sources. This literature is not reliable; however, books published after the emergence of The Occult Roots of Nazism continue to repeat claims that have been proven false:
- Wulf Schwarzwaller, 1988, The Unknown Hitler[41]
- Alan Baker, 2000, Invisible Eagle. The History of Nazi Occultism[42]

Fictional accounts of Nazi occultism
The image of a connection between Nazism and the occult is a common theme in fantasy fiction. One could also ask whether Le Matin des Magiciens should not be considered as fiction, since the authors fail to clearly state that it was supposed to be fact. Aside from such considerations, there are also many accounts of Nazi occultism that are clearly fictional.
- Dennis Wheatley's novel They Used Dark Forces (1964).[50]
- Occult-obsessed Nazis have long been a staple of superhero comic books:
- Neo-Nazis are recurring villains in Warrior Nun Areala, most notably Dr. Frederick Ottoman, a mad scientist with fleets of Nazi-UFOs and spies in every government.
- In the 1980s, DC Comics writer Roy Thomas invented a retcon to explain why Superman, the Spectre, and the Justice Society of America had been unable to defeat the Nazis: Hitler possessed the Spear of Destiny (Spear of Longinus) which gave him magical control over any superheroes who ventured into his territory.
- In the Marvel Comics comic book series The Invaders, Thor was summoned by Hitler to battle that superhero group; however, Thor soon realized he was being used, and returned to Asgard.
- The Hellboy comic books and movies also portray the Nazis and the Thule Society as powerful occult figures; in that universe, Hitler lived until 1958 and waged a "secret war" from South America after the collapse of the Third Reich.
- David Brin's short story "Thor Meets Captain America" and graphic novel The Life Eaters center on this theme, as well.
- The Danger Girl comic book features as its villains a modern-day Nazi group called 'The Hammer', which intends to use occult artifacts from Atlantis to establish a Fourth Reich.
- James Herbert's novel, The Spear, deals with a neo-Nazi cult in Britain and an international conspiracy which includes a right-wing US general and a sinister arms dealer, and their obsession with and through the occult with resurrecting Himmler.
- Katherine Kurtz's novel Lammas Night presents Nazis as powerful magicians who must be opposed by British witches.
- The villains of Clive Cussler's novel Atlantis Found are modern Nazis who operate out of a secret base in Antarctica who are linked to the ancient culture of Atlantis.
- The Island of Thule is an important location in the Silver Age Sentinels superhero role playing game and collections of short stories based upon the game. It was raised from the Atlantic Ocean by Kreuzritter ("Crusader"), a Nazi superhuman who wears a mystical suit of armor made by a long-disappeared Aryan culture.
- Kouta Hirano's manga series Hellsing features Millennium, a group of Nazis with the purpose of creating a reich that will last a thousand years (in accordance with Hitler's vision). This organization is heavily mystical, including among its number a werewolf, a catboy, and an army of 1,000 vampires known as the Letztes Bataillon ("Last Battalion"). It is led by a former SS officer whose true intention is the pursuit of absolute war.
- James Twining — The Black Sun
- James Rollins — Black Order
- Charles Stross features the fictitious Ahnenerbe activities in his The Atrocity Archives
- Daniel Easterman's 1985 novel, The Seventh Sanctuary, features the Ahnenerbe and a Nazi city in the Saudi desert, where the Ark of the Covenant has been discovered, and from which it is planned that a Fourth Reich will be created.
- Nazi occultism plays a large role in several of the stories in the Rook Universe written by Barry Reese
- Barbara Hambly's Sun-Cross books feature poor wizards in a parallel universe who inadvertently wormhole to Nazi Germany and are forced to magically assist Hitler's Reich.
Mack Bolan draws the wrath of the Order of Thule by stealing a Nazi holy artifact in The Devil's Guard by Mark Ellis.
- Nazi occult-hunters have been featured in the Steven Spielberg's Indiana Jones films. The Ahnenerbe organization was the basis for the Nazi archaeologist villains in these movies. They involve several plots related to Nazi mysticism, especially as related to archaeology. As one of the characters in Raiders of the Lost Ark says, Hitler is "obsessed with the occult." Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade connects grail legend with Nazi occultism.[51]
- The Thule Society (including some of their most known members) plays an important role in the Fullmetal Alchemist movie.

- Blood Creek features a Nazi scholar attempting to gain immortality by drinking blood and soaking power from ancient Viking runes.
- The computer game Return to Castle Wolfenstein featured a plotline involving Nazi obsession with the occult. It portrays an organization (SS Paranormal Division) based on the Ahnenerbe practicing occult rituals and magic. The game drew themes of Nazi mysticism, among other things, from its predecessors, Wolfenstein 3D and its sequel, Spear of Destiny, the latter of which also featured a storyline concerning Nazi mysticism. Wolfenstein, for example, features a number of inspirations from the real-world Nazi regimes, but departs from historical reality in a number of ways. For example, the game aggrandizes the Kreisau Circle to be "an extensive resistance network of paramilitary fighter and informants that aide and abets B.J. in his exploits," depicts the Thule Society (that Hitler formally disavowed while in power) as a "powerful nest of Nazis who disappear into the Black Sun and are deeply entangled in the Reich's paranormal research efforts," and goes beyond Himmler's symbolic use of the Black Sun to make it a "limitless energy source that the Nazis are hell-bent on manipulating toward their own nefarious ends."[53]
- The video game BloodRayne involves a plotline concerning the Thule society and its members, and features a lot of in-game Thule society imagery (especially the character High Priest Von Blut).
- A fictional division of the Ahnenerbe, the Karotechia, has a prominent place in the mythology of the Delta Green setting for the role playing game Call of Cthulhu, and stories based upon the setting. In it, the survivors of the Karotechia, a group founded to study occult tomes and conduct magical research, live on in South America, training sorcerers and cultists to found the Fourth Reich, all under the sway of Hitler's ghost (actually Nyarlathotep in disguise).
- The role playing game Hollow Earth Expedition features a fictionalized Thule Society's attempts at infiltrating the Hollow Earth. The sourcebook, Secrets of the Surface World, further expands the efforts of Nazis to discover and use occult relics.
- In the game Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb there is a castle in Prague, in which there are Gestapo agents searching for items of Occult value.
- The Xbox 360 game Operation Darkness features supernatural British commandos (werewolves etc.) fighting Nazi vampires, zombies, and other monsters conjured by Hitler.[54]
- ÜberSoldier
- In Call of Duty: World at War, there is a multiplayer feature where players fight Nazi zombies. In the map Der Riese, it is strongly implied that these zombies were created through secret German experiments.
- In the game Uncharted: Drake's Fortune the main character Nathan Drake comes across a long-abandoned Nazi U-Boat stranded on a waterfall. On it, he finds that the crew are dead and mutilated and a map to a tropic island where the statue of El Dorado was taken to. Near the end of the game, Nathan finds himself in an abandoned German Submarine Base built into the island in which he finds that the Germans had sought for the power of the statue of El Dorado but too late learned that it carries a curse that had mutated them into monsters.
- In Clive Barker's Jericho, an entire chapter of the game throws the Jerichos into World War II, where they are to defeat undead Nazis and their occultist leader Hanne Lichthammer.

Nerve-Sparing Prostate
February 18, 2012 by staff
Nerve-Sparing Prostate, Most men who have surgery for prostate cancer can still achieve orgasm if the nerves that surround their prostate gland are not removed, according to a new study.
Researchers from Cornell University say a man's age and the number of his nerves that are spared will play a role in his ability to climax after surgery.
The study followed 408 men who underwent a procedure to remove their prostate, known as robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, between 2005 and 2007 for an average of three years. Men had mean age of 60 years and all were able to have an orgasm before the procedure.
Seventy-four percent of the men were able to have their nerves spared bilaterally, or on both sides. Of those men, 91 percent experienced no change in their ability to achieve orgasm following the surgery.
About 13 percent of the men had their nerves spared on only one side. Of this group, 82 percent of the men had the same ability to reach orgasm. Another 12 percent had little or no nerve sparing, with 62 percent of them were still able to achieve orgasm the same way they did before the operation.

Minibar Delivery Launches in Metro Phoenix Today
The company offers on-demand alcohol delivery in an hour or less.
Courtesy of Minibar Delivery
You know all those times when you're hosting a party and everything is going great and then you run out of booze? You're a few drinks in so you can't run to the store to restock, and as a result, you have to shut things down just when everyone's starting to settle in.
Well, as of today, Phoenicians, that never has to happen again.
That's because today, Monday, January 11, Minibar Delivery launches on-demand alcohol delivery in metro Phoenix. The company allows customers to order wine, spirits, or beer online or through the Minibar app. For a $5 delivery fee, you'll get your order delivered to your location in an hour or less and, best of all, Minibar sells its products at the same prices you'd find in stores so you don't have to worry about jacked-up prices.

Tech News on G4
'Dark Corners' worth exploring
Aug 19, 2009
By Daniel Barron - G4 Canada
back to -|- Tech News index -|- Daniel Barron column archive
Epic Games has done something a little different with its newest downloadable add-on pack for its Xbox 360-exclusive hit 'Gears of War 2'. The 'Dark Corners' DLC doesn't just include new maps (seven, to be exact), it also includes a deleted scene from the campaign mode.
And just like most deleted scenes you'll find on any given DVD, the 'Road to Ruin' scene isn't terribly memorable. It follows Marcus and Dom as they traverse the Locust Hollow, and the level can be done in one of two ways - loud and explosive, like Gears was meant to be played, or stealth.
The latter is a matter of mostly stop-and-go gameplay as you go from room to room in the hollow, until you get noticed near the end of the level and are forced into an all-out firefight. Guns blazing is still the way to go, as you'll have all your favourite weapons at your disposal, and you'll even get a chance to hop onto a turret to take out a Brumak. The whole thing is over before it's started really, and that's a good thing, as you can now add a few more achievement points for finishing the level, and then proceed to the real reason to buy this DLC - the seven new multiplayer maps.
For the most part, each map is pure Gears; there isn't much in the way of surprises, but that's not really a bad thing. If you're looking for some awesome five-on-five battles and more Horde goodness, you'll definitely be getting your money's worth here. Here is a rundown of each new map, and what game modes are best on each:
Allfathers' Garden - One of the coolest-looking levels, this map is set at night during a storm. A lot of rounds are decided quickly here, as teams start on opposite sides and usually end up meeting in the middle before anyone has a chance to run up the stairs. Going up the stairs will lead you to weapons like the sniper rifle, but will also eventually lead to a dead end, so you don't want to be stuck up here if most of your team is already down. One of our favourite levels for Warzone and Execution.
Memorial - Lots of fun to be had here. This level has a lot of power weapons, so it's best to try to get control of things like the Torque Bow, Boomshot and Mortar early. There are some tight corriders and several staircases to keep things interesting here, but Annex especially is a lot of fun as many of the control points are out in the open. This is also a good level to play Wingman, since this is a large map when considering other Gears of War 2 maps.
Highway - A map lifted right out of the 'Road to Ruin' deleted scene, this level doesn't have a lot of wide-open spaces, so you'll want to make friends with your shotgun and any other close-range weapons if you haven't already. There aren't a lot of gimmicks here (a la Hail's, err, hail) - just a lot of straight-up shooting, tagging and chainsawing. Great for Warzone and Execution.
Nowhere - A wide open, empty town in the middle of the desert, this map may be the best of the bunch. Many players are likely to meet up in the wide-open center of this level, but if you take advantage of the empty stores scattered around the area, you'll be able to get some nice sneak attacks on the enemy. Better yet, roadie run to the top of one of the large buildings and get ahold of the heavier weapons, be it the Mulcher or the Mortar, and bring the rain to the enemy. This map is great for just about any game mode, but Annex especially tends to be a lot of fun here. Careful of the sandstorms, though!
Sanctuary - This dark level reminds us of the first Gears' excellent 'Clocktower' map. Set outside, something about this level didn't grab us like the other six. There are lots of high and low points here to keep the other team guessing, and as long as you keep moving here, you should be okay.
War Machine - A remake from the first 'Gears', this is another great level that features both wide open spaces and some great spots for classic ducking and covering. You'll really want to be careful around corners here, and if you're having a tough time getting at enemies, use grenades to your advantage to flush them out of hiding. A great map for Annex, and hectic fun if you like Wingman.
Way Station - At first this level may seem frustrating as you'll notice a long river of lava keeps you separated from the other team (forcing you to take a long, dangerous path to the enemy). Hit a switch behind a staircase though, and a bridge extends to allow both teams to cross the river unscathed. This level features two large floors, with multiple staircases leading from bottom to top and vice versa. One of the better maps for Annex, you'll still have a lot of fun if you choose Guardian, or good old fashioned Warzone or Execution.

Motion tracking for human-robot interaction
This thesis aims at improving the perceptional side of interaction to enable the handling of more complex situations. For the Swiss National Exposition Expo.02 the robot RoboX and an event-driven interaction system have been designed by members of our lab. Experiences in this exhibition underline the importance of detecting and tracking persons and the understanding of dynamic contexts for interactive systems. To understand dynamic situations, three types of objects are distinguished: static, dynamic and semi-static. Motion detection is used to identify dynamic objects and to separate the static environment from moving persons. Scan alignment corrects the position error of the robot. Thus, accumulating information over scans eventually results in maps of the environment. Dedicated object detectors identify the state and location of semi-static objects. Based on the motion detected a multi-object tracking algorithm collects information on persons in the vicinity of the robot. As an example, how this newly obtained information can be used in interaction, an automatic narration is generated for actions of visitors at Expo.02 using this system.

Inflation rises to 4.86% in June, onion prices shoot up by 114%
Inflation based on the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) had stood at 4.70 percent in May. In June, 2012, it was 7.58 percent.
New Delhi: Snapping declining trend of four months, inflation rose to 4.86 percent in June as kitchen items like onion, rice and other cereals became costlier, adding to the woes of the government struggling to arrest the falling value of rupee that is putting pressure on prices.
Rising inflation will also have a bearing on the Reserve Bank's first quarter monetary policy review on July 30.
Inflation based on the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) had stood at 4.70 percent in May.
Food inflation rose to 9.74 percent, driven by price rise in onion, cereals and rice in June, against 8.25 percent in the previous month, as per the Industry Ministry data.
Vegetable prices went up by 16.47 percent from 4.85 percent in May. Inflation in onion shot up by 114 percent in June as against 97.40 percent in May.
Inflation in the manufactured items category, however, declined to 2.75 percent in June from 3.11 percent in May.
Chairman of Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council C Rangarajan expressed apprehension that rupee depreciation could have bearing on the price situation.
"Even though inflation has risen a little bit, WPI seems to be stablising...(but) going ahead there will be impact of rupee depreciation (on prices)," he said.
On the possibility of interest rate cut by RBI in its forthcoming policy, Rangarajan said: "RBI faces the difficult choice of controlling inflation, growth needs stimulus, but external situation remains a concern. RBI will take all these three factors into account."
The value of the rupee, which touched all time low of 61.21 to a dollar earlier this month, is fuelling inflation, especially in the prices of petroleum products. Government as well as the RBI have been taking steps to strengthen rupee.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) based retail inflation for June too had also inched up marginally.
As per the WPI data, non-food articles category which includes fibre, oil seeds and minerals, saw a sharp rise in inflation to 7.57 percent, from 4.88 percent in May.
Meanwhile, inflation for April has been revised downwards to 4.77 percent from 4.89 percent.
Inflation in egg, meat and fish was 12.23 percent during June as compared to 11.21 percent in May. Price rise in cereals and rice was high at 17.18 and 19.11 percent.
Potatoes, however, saw decline in rate of price rise to (-)14.22 percent, from (-)3.44 percent in May. Pulses too declined sharply to 1.59 percent during June, from 5.95 percent in May.
Rupa Rege Nitsure, chief economist of Bank of Baroda opined that the June WPI does not appropriately factor in the impact of recent adjustments in administered fuel prices and rupee depreciation. "There will be an upward revision in this number, going forward," she added.
For the fuel and power basket, inflation was lower at 7.12 percent in June as compared to 7.32 percent in May.
Ficci President Naina Lal Kidwai said the industry body will like to reiterate the need to gear up steps to address supply side bottlenecks.
"There is an urgent need to enhance public investment in agriculture as against subsidies and step up agriculture productivity" she added.
Another leading business chamber Assocham said that both the government and the RBI need to focus on boosting economic growth as it is the only sound solution.
"The need of the hour is to boost investor sentiment. The upercentoming quarterly monetary assessment must take this necessity into account," it said.

Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, on Monday said the new video released by the Boko Haram brought back the consciousness of Chibok schoolgirls, saying many people would forget immediately the effect of the video is over.
He made this known at the presidential villa in Abuja on Monday, saying the office of the national security adviser had been doing its best to ensure that the girls are reunited with their parents.
He said: "Most people will forget the issue of these girls as soon as the effect of this video is over but the government is daily working on it. Until the release of this video, the effort is not attracting any attention. But every day, the office of the NSA and others concerned are working on it.
"For us, it is not just because of the release of the video but because of our belief that there will be no final closure to Boko Haram until we are able to resolve the issue of these girls"
Lai Mohammed further affirmed that the government was in contact with the sect, and explained that proper steps were being taken to avoid engaging the innocent ones.
"I am talking from a point of knowledge. It does not matter what other people say. I know that the government is in touch with the group," he said.
"We are just being careful and cautious to ensure that we are talking to the right people, especially with the news that there is a split in the leadership. Until you are able to ascertain the authenticity of those you are talking to, you don't go into details.
"But what is important is the safety and security of these girls. The thrust of my statement was to assure the nation that we are on top of the situation. We are not even just reacting to the video; we have gone far beyond the video in talking to the group already."

Oklahoma C-stores Ask for Single Tobacco Stamp
Retailers claim Native American retailers are using 6-cent stamps when they are not eligible.
OKLAHOMA CITY -- Convenience store owners here told a legislative interim study group that while they do not have a problem with tobacco compacts reached between the state and American Indian tribes, they would like to see the rules abided by, local Oklahoma City television station KOTV reported.
Retailers asked the group to return to a single tobacco tax stamp system, where all retailers pay the same amount and the state rebates money back to the tribes. Currently, the state Tax Commission issues seven different cigarette stamps, and the location of the store determines the taxes paid by the shop, the report stated. Nontribal stores have a $1.03 tax stamp, while a $0.86 tax stamp is reserved for stores owned by tribes that have compacts with the state, and some border tribal stores can qualify for a $0.06 tax stamp.
Retailers claimed that the least expensive stamps were being used in stores that were not eligible for them.
There are 219 tribal retailers in the state that sell cigarettes and 4,800 nontribal stores, and only 39 tribal retailers qualify for the lesser stamp, according to Don Williams, a lobbyist with the Oklahoma Wholesale Marketers Association, the report stated.
However, 66 percent of the total taxes collected from January 2005 to August 2007 were from the $0.06 tax stamps -- reaching $227.4 million, according to the report.
"We have no quarrels with the provisions of the compacts," Williams said. "We just want to see them enforced."
Some stores are abusing the $0.06 tax stamp at an unfair disadvantage to nontribal and tribal stores that are following the law, said Jim Griffith, owner of On Cue Marketing, operator of 35 convenience stores across the state. In addition, other stores sell contraband cigarettes from other states without paying any taxes, he said.
Griffith suggested stores should purchase one tax stamp, and legitimate tribal stores buying stamps at a lower rate would apply to the Tax Commission for a rebate for the difference in price.

I am the Chapter President of the soon-to-be-recognized Young Americans for Liberty Chapter at Eastern Connecticut State University.I wanted to give a quick update on this chapter:After quite some time I have managed to get the wheels turning in the SGA with assistance from the Libertarian Club and the Conservative Club–some of whom plan to attend the Boston Summit in March. With the assistance of the new YAL State Chair I am feeling very motivated regarding this chapter and managed to clipboard a bit today with the assistance of materials distributed from YAL. The pocket U.S. Constitutions were quite popular and I believe that there is a lot of potential here, even if the administration has strict requirements. Eastern is located around 15 minutes from the University of Connecticut, so I hope to work together with the YAL chapter there in the future.
Our chapter held the "Your Life Your Right" activism event on the day on the Presidential Inauguration. We believe that the Second Amendment is the most important of all rights because it is the teeth or the thing that defends the rest of our rights.We at Avery Point decided that it would be a great event to start before the inauguration because many are feeling endangered. What is more empowering than the means of your own defense? We set up inside the Student Lounge and outside the main academic building to get students on the way and out of their classes. We had a good time participating and believe that we made an impact on passing students, even if we got a few boos and slurs thrown at us. Now it's time to warm up!
I can't believe I'm actually here. I never thought this would ever get off the ground, or would ever be more than just a figment of my imagination. Our YAL chapter startedOkay, let me back up.I'm the Co-President and PR Representative of the newly-formed Everett Community College (EvCC) chapter of Young Americans for Liberty. Myself and Co-President Riley Nolan formed this chapter on January 18th, 2017. Currently, we only have 3 members. However, we are in the process of getting officially recognized from the college. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and we have taken those first steps.Everett Community College is a intensely progressive college with a few not-so progressive, but just as intense, pockets. The ideological battles that rage between the hard left and the hard right are quite the sight to behold. It's a politically strange school; it exists as a left-wing stronghold in a less left-wing town, in a more left-wing county, in a less left-wing district, inside a more left-wing state, inside a less left-wing country (judging by tomorrow's inauguration). It doesn't know what it wants to be, and constantly fights within itself to assert dominance for one side or the other.
Many people would see this sort of civil war and move on, deeming it a lost cause, but I see something different. I see a golden opportunity. This college is divided in an ideological manner, with sides unclear and principles murky. The time is ripe to introduce these minds to an alternative: the ideas of liberty.That is our goal hereL: to introduce a divided house to the strong foundations of liberty and freedom, and to show people what they haven't been shown by their professors. We wish to show people what this country could look like with principles of liberty, and we're so glad to YAL for helping us achieve those goals. We look forward to a successful future with YAL, and to a more free tomorrow in 2017. Godspeed, and God bless the United States of America.
After its first semester on campus caused a local media firestorm, YAL's chapter at Oakland University continued its liberty campaign with a winter recruiting event on January 5th. With six organization members in attendance, YAL continued to spread its message to the students of Oakland University. This is the first of 12 planned events for the chapter this semester.This event was planned the night before after a clerical error meant our chapter hadn't reserved a table. With the help of a kind university staff member we were able to secure a table the day of. Organizing the chapter members coming out of holiday break meant a long night of digital correspondence to get an accurate headcount. We also didn't have a recruiting kit yet, meaning we had to improvise our table setup. Everyone brought something to put on the table. The event helped build group bonding as a result of the last second rush. More importantly we were able to continue our fight to spread liberty to Oakland University.
Young Americans for Liberty has grown to over 800 chapters this past year including one that is rebooting at Colorado State University. Since the election season has finally concluded and a new semester has begun, now is the ideal time to bring the liberty movement to campus. Last Tuesday YAL at CSU started off strong with a recruitment drive that reached students across the university. Despite 34 degree weather and some winter winds, we managed to set up for a few hours out on the campus plaza. Within minutes the interactions with students started happening, the questions started getting asked, and the sign-ups were going crazy. Even though there was plenty of opposition, we could see a student body hungry for the voice of liberty. We recruited over 40 people and handed out plenty of Constitutions as well. This semester is only the start to a revolution happening at CSU of young Americans getting identified, educated, trained, and mobilized to go out and win on principle!
Today, Connor, Jason, and I went to recruit on ASU campus for the first time. We engaged several students around the student Union and discuss what YAL is all about. We were able to pass out several pocket constitutions and fliers to around a dozen students. The chapter here will continue to recruit like this until we are able to be formally recognized by the University. Now that we have gotten the first push for recruitment together, I am very optimistic about the future for YAL at AstAte.
-Hunter Sadler, Outreach Director ASU YAL
The University of Iowa YAL chapter took on the Spring semester student organization fair last night, and found many liberty-allies on campus. It is always fun (and a great recruitment tool!) to break out the political quiz poster, and watch students discover they belong in a whole new political ideology that they had no idea existed. Most of the time this is the student's first time ever thinking about how big our government truly is.
A really rewarding experience I had at the organization fair, however, was watching other members of my chapter step up and take the reigns on recruiting new students. I will shortly be graduating and it gives me much hope for the future that these members will be taking over the chapter after I leave. We have an informational meeting planned at the beginning of next week and we are looking to grow the Iowa YAL family!
The Capital University chapter of Young Americans for Liberty got the ball rolling in 2017 by taking part in our first recruitment event of the year! As one of the more prolific political/activism groups on campus we value any chance we get to identify potential new members who share our beliefs. We stepped up our recruiting tactics this semester to gain sign ups by using recruitment tactics taught to us by members of YAL National, and by using our amiable relationships with members of College Republicans and College Democrats to refer members that may be more suited for each others groups.Perhaps the most exciting development from our recruiting drive was how great of a job our youngest members stepped up to the plate! We had three underclassmen commit to being at the event the entire time and their passion in our message, along with their investment in each person that came to our table made an astronomical impact on our event. I couldn't be more proud of these young guys and am very excited to work with them this semester as we cement ourselves into the history of Capital University and continue to sow the seeds of liberty on campus.
Colby College's YAL kick-started our year with our second-to-last Free Speech Ball on Friday the 6th in the campaign to convince Colby to adopt the Chicago Principles regarding the freedom of expression!
Colby's short and unique January Term meant that many students were off campus, and those that stayed were weary of braving the wintery Maine weather. Even so, the odd sight of a giant beach ball in the Student Union attracted the attention of the few students traveling through. Soon they were eager to fill up the little space left on the ball and learn about the Chicago Principles and the various encroachments on student liberty that have occurred throughout US campuses. Our chapter moved ever closer to our 200-signature goal with about 20 new signatures, bringing our total to just over 140 with one more event to go.The previous event on November 10th had an even greater turnout (thanks to some nicer weather and a substantial amount of post-election energy). Many members of the chapter, as well as a few state and regional representatives, manned the ball and table throughout the day spreading the message of liberty and free expression to dozens of students.Here's to a great 2017!
On Tuesday, January 10th our chapter hosted a Spring Recruitment Drive at our campus's Winterfest. We had multiple members stop by to help. We also talked to hundreds of fellow students about the ideals of liberty. By the end of the event we gained twenty new members! Additionally, many of them expressed interest in joining us on our trip to the YAL 2017 Pittsburgh Spring Summit and to Washington D.C. for the 2017 International Students For Liberty Conference.It was a huge success and was a great way to get our name better known on campus. We would not have done nearly as well if it had not been for the Recruitment Kit sent to us through YAL. With the tablecloth making us look professional and the various posters catching students' eyes it allowed for us start the conversation and stand out from the dozens of other tables that were there. By the end of the event a large portion of our supplies had been distributed and we can now expect to see YAL gear much more prevalent on campus. We hope all of our future recruitment drives can be just as successful.

B Unnikrishnan, the director who is also an active member of FEFKA, stated his full support for filmmaker Anwar Rasheed's anti-piracy movement. Unnikrishnan stated his stand through his official Facebook page.
The pirated video of Anwar Rasheed's latest production venture Premam has been going viral since last few weeks. Anwar has announced that he is resigning from Kerala Film Producers Association and FEFKA, as both the associations are not willing to help him.
But, Unnikrishnan stated that the association will not be accepting Anwar's resignation, as he is one of the most promising young directors of the industry. He confirmed that FEFKA will remain by Anwar's side.
According to Unnikrishnan, he has discussed with Anwar regarding the piracy issue. They have also caught some students, along with the pirated copy of Premam; but decided not to move legally considering their age.
Unnikrishnan assured that investigation upon the case has been progressing and producers association president Suresh Kumar has offered his complete cooperation for the same. He also added that he completely understands Anwar's disappointment.
In the meanwhile, anti-piracy cell has ceased a large number of pirated DVDs from Malappuram district, in the recently held raid. More details regarding the raid and sources of pirated videos are yet to be revealed.

Of late, my gf is making me paint her toenails. How do I refuse? I dont want to hurt her.
Most Helpful Girl
I've had my toes painted by a guy before, & believe me, it makes you feel hella special. And it is rather intimate for us. We feel it makes you happy when we're pretty, lol.
Maybe this isn't enjoyable because it's not being very well reciprocated. Ask to have your back or feet rubbed. I rubbed my ex's feet a lot because he did a lot for me. Sometimes he'd ask too because he got used to that gesture which made him feel special.10|10|0
