$15.19The Battle of Berlin was truly a battle on an unprecedented scales. The Soviets massed 1.6 million troops for 'Operation Berlin', and Marshal Zhukov in the centra had half of them, but his initial attack floundered, lasting four days instead of one, and was so costly that he had to revise his plans for taking of the city, and to revise them yet again when Stalin allowed his rival, Marshal Koniev,
The German Army in Retreat 1945In the final months of the Second World War in 1945, the German Army was in full retreat on both its Western and Eastern Fronts. British and American troops were poised to cross the River Rhine in the west, while in the East the vast Soviet war machine was steam-rolling the soldiers of the Third Reich back towards the capital, Berlin. Even in retreat, the German Army was still a force to be
The Destruction of Hitler's 9th Army, April 1945Operation 'Berlin', the Soviet offensive launched on 16 April, 1945, by Marshals Zhukov and Koniev, isolated the German Ninth Armyy and tens of thousands of refugees in the Spreewald 'pocket', south-east of Berlin. Stalin ordered its encirclement and destruction and his subordinates, eager to win the race to the Reichstag, pushed General Busse's 9th Army into a tiny area east of the village of
$27.99The unexpected arrival of Soviet troops at the end of January 1945 at the ancient fortress and garrison town of Küstrin came as a tremendous shock to the German High Command-the Soviets were now only 50 miles from Berlin itself. The Red Army needed the vital road and rail bridges passing through Küstrin for their forthcoming assault on the capital, but flooding and their own high command's
Soviet (Russian) Military ExperienceThe soldiers of the Red Army identified the Reichstag as the victor's prize to be taken in Berlin. This account of the battle lays the many myths created by Soviet propaganda after the event to rest and details what exactly happened as the Red Army and the Allies raced to be the first at the Reichstag.
The 94th US Infantry Division at the Siegfried LineThe 94th US Infantry Division was an organization formed late in the Second World War, made up largely of draft-deferred university students as enlisted men and an officer corps pulled together from various domestic postings with unfortunate consequences for mutual trust and respect. Initially used as part of the force blockading the Brittany ports after D-Day, in December of 1944, the division
A Combat History of the 82nd Airborne Division in World War II: From Market Garden to BerlinOn Sunday, September 17, 1944, the 82nd Airborne Division jumped into history with the First Allied Airborne Army in a daring daylight parachute and glider-borne assault to capture key bridges at the start of Operation Market Garden. Following weeks of heavy combat in Holland, the All Americans (the name of the division in World War I when Sgt. Alvin York was one of its soldiers) were withdrawn
$4.99The bitter Battle of Stalingrad was the turning point of WWII on the Eastern Front. The relentless and unstoppable German advances that had seen the panzers sweep hundreds of miles into Russia was finally brought to a halt at Stalingrad. The elite German 6th Army was first fought to a standstill, then surrounded and forced to surrender. For the first time in the war, the Germany army had been

Double trouble for Ayoade
Relevant offers
Roman Polanski failed in his attempt and Bernardo Bertolucci's 1968 effort was described as giving "art films a bad name", so what an earth persuaded British comedian-turned director Richard Ayoade to tackle Fyodor Dostoyevsky's 1846 dystopian novella The Double for just his second feature?
Even the softly-spoken 37-year-old admits he'd only read the more popular Crime and Punishment prior to co-writer Avi Korine suggesting that this should be Ayoude's follow-up to his critically-acclaimed 2011 Welsh coming-of-age drama Submarine.
"I'm a pretty poorly read person, although I have read more Dostoyevsky since. It really was Avi's idea to adapt it - not because it was his favourite but because he thought something about it would make a really good film."
But wasn't he worried that director's with far bigger reputations had him had foundered in attempting to adapt Dostoyevsky?
"His novels are psychological and interior and the received wisdom is that those don't make good films. However, it was Stanley Kubrick who said that he felt books [like The Double] that really map out a character's psychology are really good to adapt because you can use external events to show what they are thinking.
"I love Aki Kaurismaki's Crime and Punishment [1983]. It is one of the very few good adaptations. Yes, I'd heard about Polanski's attempts to bring The Double to the screen in the 1990s - presumably there's a script around somewhere and Bertolucci's Partner is a strange adaptation set in the world of student politics.
"Part of the novel itself is set in a particular world of 19th century Russian office life that's quite hard to relate to and its satirical qualities of certain Russian values at the time don't translate well so that's partly why we decided not to set it in that time."
Instead Ayoade's Double is set in a Terry Gilliam-meets-Michel Gondry dystopian alternative universe, where Jesse Eisenberg's nebbish office worker finds himself replaced by a more confident lookalike.
Ayoade says Eisenberg was definitely his first choice for the dual role.
"On a basic level he's one of the best actors around and certainly the best actor of his generation. I can't think of anyone who has his range and intelligence.
"Since The Squid and the Whale he has demonstrated this ability to be very moving but also believably intelligent - which I think is hard. Acting doesn't go very well with cerebral. That's because those kinds of people are defensive and don't allow you to view them emotionally. Apart from Jesse, I can only think of the likes of Dustin Hoffman or Jack Lemmon who could believably be a professor without you just laughing."
Ayoade says he also admires Eisenberg because he isn't someone who just relies on physical transformation.
"The Social Network showed he could be strong and powerful and mean and aggressive while still looking like he normally does. Because our two characters had to look exactly the same in order to evoke the nightmare of the situation, we wanted someone like him who didn't look to the wig factory as the first port of call."
He says any differentiation was created internally by Eisenberg, with breathtaking results.
"In editing, if you just had a freeze frame of one of the characters you could instantly tell which one was which just by a close up of their face. He literally would just look different."
Ayoade describes his role in Eisenberg's process as similar to that of a football manager.
"You discuss things a lot and your rehearse but you're not playing the game when it happens - all you can do is will it. It's the actor who does it and embodies it. Their brilliance transforms it or not. You can kid yourself, but if you're not working with good actors you're sunk."
The Double (M) will screen in Auckland and Wellington as part of next month's New Zealand International Film Festival.
The full Auckland programme will be announced tomorrow night and Wellington's on Thursday.

Can you imagine living in a world where your every economic move is tracked and traced and completely reliant on computers?
Headlines today are declaring that not just a few, but millions of smart grid devices are open to cyberattacks, and that smart grid security is basically a joke. Bitcoin seems like a good idea on the surface, but there are too many instances where accounts get hacked, money gets stolen, or worse, people get scammed out of millions. Why?
Because it's all online... it is intangible. You can't physically hold it in your hand, therefore, you can't physically protect it.
Not that fiat currency is so much better, but this is going to be so much worse.
What some may regard as a noble or even heroic action landed an Iraq war veteran in jail. Michael Hammons was arrested in Georgia and charged with criminal trespassing after breaking the glass of a hot car to free a panting pet.
Press TV has conducted an interview with Kevin Barrett, an editor of Veterans Today in Madison, to discuss a new report by Human Rights Watch (HRW), which said prisoners with mental disabilities across the United States experience unnecessary, excessive, and even malicious force by prison staff.
The following is a rough transcription of the interview.
At least six people were killed and over 140 people hurt after an Amtrak train, carrying 238 passengers and five crew members, derailed and rolled onto its side in the Port Richmond section of Philadelphia Tuesday night, according to officials.

Human Rights Watch has issued a report stating that mentally ill prisoners are being abused in detention facilities across the US, and that these practices are happening in over 5,000 facilities.
The activist group says inmates are being subjected to unnecessary and excessive use of force, and the problem is widespread.
The Vatican has officially recognized the "state of Palestine" in a new treaty.
A US passenger train with more than 200 passengers on board has derailed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, killing at least five people and injuring more than 50 others.
A new report based on the testimonies of more than 60 Israeli soldiers is making its way around the web. It outlines how the massive civilian death toll from last summer's Israeli assault on Gaza resulted from "a policy of indiscriminate fire." The group of soldiers have come together to express that what happened in Gaza, and what continues to happen, is a "broad ethical failure" that "comes from the top of the chain of command." During the 50 days of the assault last summer, more than 2,100 Palestinians in Gaza were killed, the majority of which were civilians, including more than 500 children.
Below is a video of the testimonies from the soldiers that speak to former Israeli paratrooper Avner Gvaryahu, director of public outreach at Breaking the Silence.
With all of its shortcomings, at least the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has achieved one thing: In a harshly divided Congress, its astonishing ineptitude—or worse—has managed to unite Republicans and Democrats. This ineptitude may have literally sent innocent people to their deaths.
In a strongly worded letter, the GOP chairman and the ranking Democrat of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform demanded answers from FBI Director James Comey regarding the recent revelations that the Bureau's forensic "experts" made erroneous statements in an unfathomable 95% of trials involving microscopic hair analysis.
Over the last two months speculation about Jade Helm 2015 has reached a fevered pitch. Almost everyday new footage of some sort of military buildup across the country is released.

Michigan State Senator Virgil Smith (D-Detroit) is in police custody after firing a gun during a domestic argument with his ex-wife. Police responded to a domestic dispute at Smith's home in Detroit at 1 AM on Sunday morning.

Today 93, he goes on trial Tuesday in a state court in the northern city of Lueneburg on 300,000 counts of accessory to murder.

MINNEAPOLIS — Analysis of Fox News suggests that the TV news network is a leader in lying to the American public, beating out CNN and MSNBC for the amount of falsehoods broadcasted.

Our main ally (rejected at the beginning with lofty scorn, embraced later with desperate, insincere enthusiasm) was one of the most murderous tyrants in human history, whose slave empire we helped him to extend and consolidate, and to whom we afterwards handed thousands of victims, to whom we owed at least a life, though we knew he would murder them.
Our purpose in joining the war was not only not achieved, but the country whose independence we claimed to be 'saving' sank under successive waves of horror, cruelty, lawlessness, murder and despotism, to emerge 60 years later and many miles from where it had been when we 'rescued' it.
The public safety minister's office responded Monday to a CBC News story about what Canada's "zero tolerance" policy toward those who boycott Israel could entail by calling it "inaccurate and ridiculous."
The story, by CBC's Neil Macdonald, referred to a speech at the United Nations by Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney in which he said Canada would take a "zero tolerance" stance against groups that promote boycotts against Israel. In the speech, Blaney also conflated boycotts with anti-Semitic hate speech.
The Harper government is signalling its intention to use hate crime laws against Canadian advocacy groups that encourage boycotts of Israel.
Such a move could target a range of civil society organizations, from the United Church of Canada and the Canadian Quakers to campus protest groups and labour unions.
If carried out, it would be a remarkably aggressive tactic, and another measure of the Conservative government's lockstep support for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Note: Israel also totally controls Canada as it does the U.S.
The Palestinian Nakba is a catastrophe for the Jewish colonists and their descendants: it transformed the once decent surviving victims of European antisemitism and the Holocaust into terrorists, killers, thieves, racists, and liars – into the mirror image of their persecutors. And the same perverted brush tainted the UN and Western governments as collaborators of the sickest and most sadistic society in the world.
The Saudi ruling family follows an anti-Arab, anti-Muslim, pro-Zionist, terror-sponsored, tyrannical, suppressive, ruthless, authoritarian, and treacherous absolute monarchy. The Saudi monarchy was established on betrayal, chauvinism, elitism, and discrimination
At least 50 people were hurt after an Amtrak train derailed in the Frankford section of Philadelphia
In an interview with Epoch Times, Richard Fisher, member of the International Assessment and Strategy Center think tank, revealed how vulnerable America's nuclear arsenal is to our enemies. The crux of the problem, is that our ICBM's haven't moved since the end of the cold war. There were plans to create mobile systems that could better disguise our nukes, which were ignored as we tried to reduce our arsenal. As of now, the locations of most of our silos can be identified on Google Maps.
American's frequently complain about the amount of income taxes they have to pay every year, and understandably so. Income taxes average between 20-30% for most middle and upper-class Americans. However, US citizens hardly pay the most when compared to the rest of the world. Belgium, for instance, has the highest income tax rate for average wage earners, at 42.8%.
But where these statistics get tricky, is when it comes to hidden taxes. The one's that don't show up on your tax form. For that, United States takes the cake, or is at least paying more than most countries. A new report from the Competitive Enterprise Institute found that Americans are collectively paying $1.88 trillion due to federal regulations. When a new regulation is enforced on a particular industry, those costs are passed down to the consumer, so the things we buy and the services we use have a hidden tax that doesn't show up on the price tag.
Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne says there will not be criminal charges brought against the Madison police officer who killed Tony Robinson.
The Amerikan and global populace have no conception of the level of advanced, high-tech psychological operations they are under. The field of psy ops, which used to be a tool of governments and military strategists against rival nations has now been turned upon the masses by the emerging global government.
These psychological operations are being used on you.
The lie of 9/11 has provided the pretext for the most terrible wars on the Muslim peoples in defiance of the Nuremberg Protocols and the UN Charter.
Unless that lie is laid bare by truth, 9/11 will be seen as the crucible from which World War Three erupted. There will be no way back from the smoking ruins for those unfortunate enough who survive. The images from Hiroshima and Nagasaki are there to warn us.
I cannot recall when I became certain that 19 Muslims with box cutters were NOT responsible for these events.
The story of Omar Khadr unveils the sickening depravity of the Western/Zionist/Neocon warmongers and their bought-and-paid-for presstitutes.
For just shy of a decade, the Americans tortured the Canadian-born Khadr in the Guantanamo Bay concentration camp before relinquishing him to Canada where he has been held in Canadian jails since 2012.
Upon his release on bail on May 7, Canadian neocons began screeching from the hilltops about the 'travesty' of temporarily freeing a 'convicted terrorist.' Meanwhile, the neo-liberal crypto-militarists who occupy Canada's mainstream media engaged in stereotypical faux debates consisting of highly constrained babble about the 'rights and wrongs' of the treatment of Khadr by the Canadian and American governments.
The issue is never framed properly and is in fact intentionally obfuscated.
A U.S. Marine helicopter supporting earthquake relief in Nepal was declared missing Tuesday with eight people on board, a military spokesman said.
The UH-1Y Huey with two Nepalese soldiers and six U.S. Marines on board disappeared over Charikot, Nepal, at about 10 p.m. local time (12:15 p.m. ET), said U.S. Pacific Command spokesman Army Maj. Dave Eastburn.
Pentagon spokesman Col. Steve Warren said the U.S. military is hopeful that the missing helicopter landed and is out of communication. A military official told NBC News there is "no indication that there was a crash" but "it is dark," so they could not immediately confirm that.
A blast has shattered a regional bus engulfed in flames on the roadside of a Massachusetts highway. However no one was hurt thanks to the driver, who was able to get all the passengers off the vehicle.
Bernie Sanders, a Senator for Vermont and currently the only declared challenger to Hillary Clinton for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, is the only member of Congress to describe himself as a socialist. For much of the Cold War socialism evoked images of military parades in Moscow's Red Square, but for Sanders, and many of America's self-declared socialists, their aim isn't to bring revolution to America but to make America more like Sweden and Norway.
The sporty little car with the red paint and racing stickers was caught.
Parked beside a Granada Hills road and its handcuffed driver, the Toyota Supra sat with its big modified exhaust hanging just above the ground, like a dog with its tail between its legs.
"Remember me?" Officer Will Durr said to the driver — an embarrassed college student he'd pulled over days before in the same illegally modified car.
The Obama administration has spent the last 24 hours working to discredit the story. Pentagon spokesman Col. Steve Warren said the report from Hersh was "largely a fabrication" with "too many inaccuracies." The White House says the Hersh's investigation is riddled with inaccuracies.
But according to NBC News, which has reportedly been conducting their own investigation for the last several years, Hersh's claims aren't that inaccurate after all
Three people have been shot and injured in a shooting incident near a university campus in the US western state of California, authorities say.
"It was wrong to make an analogy with Auschwitz. I sincerely apologize," Romson, a politician with Sweden's Green Party, told local reporters. "When I thought of the terrible situation going on in the Mediterranean, I was so angry that so many people have died. The situation still cannot be compared with what happened in Nazi Germany."

There's been a lot of concern over the upcoming Jade Helm exercises taking place in several U.S. states this summer. The operation to "master the human domain," as the military refers to it, is such a significant event that Governor Greg Abbott promised Texans he'd have the State Guard on stand-by to ensure the Federal government wouldn't use the purported training operation to

The three institutions on which the Greek state currently depends for its fiscal survival are all adamant to force the left-led government into submission. The reasons for this are overtly political: Eurozone governments are loathe to allow Syriza to set a successful example of debtor defiance, lest anti-austerity movements elsewhere in the Eurozone periphery be emboldened to make similar demands.
OceanaGold, which purchased the Vancouver-based Pacific Rim Mining in 2013, is suing El Salvador—the most water-stressed country in the region—for an amount equivalent to 5 percent of its gross domestic product for refusing to grant it a permit to put a gold mine into operation.
Starting on Friday May 8, some German news media have been reporting on the release of previously secret emails from the office of the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel. These emails make clear that when her underlings have said, ever since 2013, that the U.S. has promised to stop tapping the phones and other communications of Germans and even of the German Chancellor herself, no such promise had actually been received from anyone in the U.S. Administration of President Barack Obama. Instead, this claim from the Chancellor's office was being made simply in order for her to be able to win the 22 September 2013 parliamentary elections. It was contrary to fact. And it still is.
The diabolical plan to destabilize Macedonia by Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, the U.S. ambassador to Macedonia Jess Baily, and Macedonian "social democratic" opposition leaders Zoran Zaev and Branko Crvenkovski – who could be called the "Arseniy Yatsenyuk and Petro Poroshenko of Macedonia" – has entered a critical phase with members of the supposedly disbanded Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) increasing their terrorist border incursions on Macedonian territory from Kosovo.
How is it normal and just accepted for our now standing army to infiltrate and try to blend in with domestic civilian populations? Because Main Street America just looks so much like the foreign battlefields in other countries across the world that these training drills are supposedly for in the first place, right?
But, again, the governor talked to some unnamed members of the military at multiple levels and it's all "going to work out just fine."

The police simply weren't moving fast enough for a man looking for his abducted cousin. In spite of the fact that officers had been called, they were not taking the kidnapping seriously enough for the family of the victim. That's when they decided to find her themselves. That's why the victim's cousin kicked in the back door of an abandoned house where his kidnapped relative had been taken and shot and killed her kidnapper, according to law enforcement representatives in Louisiana.

Former Israeli Prime Minister and Defense Minister, Ehud Barak has added another accomplishment to his bloody résumé now that he has accepted a new position with startup biometrics firm, FST Biometrics.
Barak recently joined the board of FST after the company received a $15 million investment from GMF Capital, which is headed by Gary Fegel, a well-known Swiss investor. Barak will now serve as FST's representative to GMF Capital on GMF's board...
Channel 9 has learned that George Zimmerman was involved in a shooting incident Monday afternoon in Seminole County on Lake Mary Boulevard.
Authorities initially said Zimmerman was shot in the face, but sources have told Channel 9 the injuries may have been from shattered glass. Authorities said the injuries appear to be minor.
Police towed Zimmerman's truck, which appears to have a bullet hole in the passenger-side window, to the Lake Mary Police Department.
As of May 5, 2015, the police in the United States of America have killed 401 people that we know of.

Kathy Kelly is just out of prison, where she'd been sent for nonviolently opposing drone murders.
An appeals court has just overturned convictions for Megan Rice, Michael Walli and Gregory Boertje-Obed, imprisoned for entering and protesting a nuclear weapons site at Oak Ridge, Tenn., three years ago. Resentencing on lesser charges, and quite possibly immediate release, is expected.
Amazingly, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that the government failed to prove that the activists intended to "injure the national defense." (Maybe Venezuela, accused by President Obama of being a threat to the same, should appeal to the Sixth Circuit!)
The U.S. government has just dropped charges against eight members of the National Campaign for Nonviolent Resistance who nonviolently protested the U.S. military's environmental destruction with a march from the EPA to the Pentagon this past Earth Day.
These are small wins, in the battle for peace and justice, but they are wins.
Reports are now filtering in that preparations for a direct military assault on Syria are being made by Turkey in concert with the Saudis and Qataris. These reports are suggesting that the military offensive will take place within the next few days. Some reports speculate that such action could take place further down the road in late June.
At this moment, Turkish forces are reportedly gathering at the nation's southern border and Syria's northern border in a fashion that can signify little except the posturing for military action.
While this article is in no way attempting to make predictions regarding possible military action, to provide dates, or even the hint that these possible attacks will definitively take place, the stage has clearly been set for some time for us to contemplate the possibility of such an attack.
My best guess on the timing of such an invasion is that it will be engineered to happen sooner rather than later, in order to "persuade" Iran to go for the current P5+1 agreement, in light of the fact that the current Syrian government will most likely have been dissolved by that point. As happened in Libyan, we may well see Al-Assad assassinated outright, or cooling his heels in jail, waiting for a kangaroo court to convict and sentence him.
But in either scenario, he will have been "neutralized" in terms of being able to help Iran militarily, should it not decide to go with the P%+1 deal (IF the US Congress doesn't outright scotch the deal themselves.)
Seeing as she enjoys cartoons so much, this is done in a style she can easily identify with …. but one where lives are not at risk (which she also enjoys).
If you're "Ready for Hillary" in 2016, you might as well just admit that you're ready for more evil because nearly every top donor to Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea's Clinton Foundation, which is driving Hillary Clinton's bid for the presidency, is a multinational corporation or other organization pushing for more centralized control over food, medicine, energy and/or finance.
California is currently in the fourth year of its worst drought in history, but the rich and famous residents of Los Angeles are still keeping up with the Kardashians when it comes to their over-the-top landscaping.
Residents across California have been demolishing pools, cutting back on showers and letting their lawns turn brown after experts estimated that there will be less than a year's worth of drinking water left in the state's reservoirs by the end of 2015.
But for the residents of Los Angeles' wealthy enclaves, a $100 fine for wasting water is chump change and a fee they are apparently glad to pay in order to maintain their almost fluorescent green lawns.
Photographer John Chapple recently went out in a helicopter to photograph these private oasis and found the mega-mansions owned by Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez and heiress Petra Stunt to be among the worst.
On the foreign policy front, the hubris and arrogance of America's self-image as the "exceptional, indispensable" country with hegemonic rights over other countries means that the world is primed for war. Neither Russia nor China will accept the vassalage status accepted by the UK, Germany, France and the rest of Europe, Canada, Japan and Australia. The Wolfowitz Doctrine makes it clear that the price of world peace is the world's acceptance of Washington's hegemony.
Therefore, unless the dollar and with it US power collapses or Europe finds the courage to break with Washington and to pursue an independent foreign policy, saying good-bye to NATO, nuclear war is our likely future.
And it's not just the phone companies that are getting rich off prisoners' phone calls.
Thanks to so-called "commissions" that can account for as much as 94 percent of the cost of a call, prison phone contracts have become a major source of revenue for state and local governments all across the country.
These glorified kickbacks have also become a source of revenue for prisons themselves, and they use them to pay for the health care and food services they're already constitutionally required to provide.
In other words, like pretty much every other case of privatization over the past few decades, the rise of private prison phone contracts has nothing to do with "efficiency" or "improving services" and has everything do with making a quick buck for some crony capitalist with a bunch of Republican friends in Congress.
The privatization of prisons in this country has guaranteed an horrific rise in recidivism (re-offending, going back to prison), which means that the private prisons have become great investment opportunities (for people with the morals of a trout, that is).
Sweden is CLOSING many of its prisons, and why?!? Because the total focus of prison time is rehabilitation, rather than punishment, and reintegration with society when the prisoner is released.
It is a sane, and compassionate model, which is why it is completely ignored by the penal system here in the US.
Only one Clinton is running for president, but they are to an almost indescribable extent inseparable. Although Hillary is projecting her own personage and politics in her campaign rhetoric, the two are nevertheless so utterly conjoined in people's eyes that it is virtually impossible for the good and bad actions of one not to reflect well or not well on the other. We know they are in cahoots. Their moral identity management operations must, therefore, concentrate on the Clinton brand as a whole.
Let's call these people what they really are: industrial-strength sociopaths in pursuit of money and power, by any means necessary, with utterly no moral regard for who gets thrown under the bus, and literally maimed or killed for life in the process.
Very much like the Greeks, the Scots unambiguously voted down austerity. And in very much the same fashion, they face an entity that claims to be more powerful and insists on forcing more austerity down their throats anyway. It seems inevitable that at some point these larger entities will start to crack and break down into smaller pieces. As empires always do. Now, the EU was of course never an empire, there's just tons of bureaucrats dreaming of that, and Britain is a long-decayed empire.
Larger entities like empires are more powerful only for a limited period of time, for as long as the center can make the periphery benefit; once the center starts feeding off the periphery, the endgame starts. This can take a while, but it will happen, it's a law of nature. When periphery regions figure out they have nothing to lose by splitting off, they will elect to stand on their own two feet and be their own boss.
And it's not as if either Scotland or Greece lack a history of fighting for their independence. Just a reminder.
In what could ring alarm bells for the Indian security establishment, a report of the United States Department of Defence (DoD), has warned about China "destructive" space programme of stalling or destroying satellites of other countries and how its nuclear-powered submarines now make forays into the Indian Ocean. Released on May 8, the DoD's annual report to the US Congress on 'Military and Security Developments Involving the People's Republic of China 2015' talks about a mystery 'object' that Beijing had launched in space on a ballistic trajectory with a peak altitude above 30,000 km.
DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson said Sunday that the United States is facing a new era in which a lone-wolf terrorist could "strike at any moment."
Keeping the American public in fear is what It's all about. We can't have DHS/police budgets dry up right Mr. Johnson?
As a result, Johnson said, the federal government is making a greater effort to engage with state and local law enforcement and encourage them to be "vigilant" about what is happening in their communities. This last statement proves one DHS and our police are one entity and two they're complicit in using another false-flag to scare the public. Remember this is the very same DHS that lied and claimed malls were being targeted by ISIS when their budget was under attack.
Later DHS had to admit there were no credible threats to ANY malls in America.??
I can believe absolutely nothing anyone in the Federal government says anymore; I expect every one of its representatives to simply lie with impunity, to forward any agenda they fancy at any particular moment.
Thousands of gallons of oil have leaked into the Hudson River, a day after a loud explosion was heard at a nuclear facility near New York City.
Mexican health officials have suspended the country's vaccination program while they investigate suspected adverse reactions that killed two babies and sickened many others.
The Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) administered BCG (tuberculosis), rotavirus, and hepatitis B vaccines to 52 children at the hospital in Simojovel as part of the National Vaccination Program on Friday.
The trip is scheduled to last five days. It is reportedly being paid for by Our American Revival, Walkers political organization; and the Republican Jewish Coalition.

A farmer who rejected a £275million offer for his land from housing developers has said he is 'not afraid to stand up to them'.

He was approached by agents for housebuilder Mayfield more than two years ago. Since then, the company has contacted Mr Worsley a number of times, trying to persuade him to sell.
Seymour Hersh has published a long account of the homicide of Osama bin Laden: http://www.lrb.co.uk/v37/n10/seymour-m-hersh/the-killing-of-osama-bin-...
Hersh concludes that the Obama regime's account of the killing of bin Laden is a total fabrication except for the fact that bin Laden was killed.
I do not believe Hersh's story for three reasons. One reason is that bin Laden was suffering from disease that no one can survive for a decade. His death was widely reported in 2001. One reason is that even Hersh's "true" account of "what really happened" is contradicted by eye witnesses and the initial Pakistani TV interviews of eye witnesses. One reason is that Hersh's story is too convoluted for an assassination raid, a routine event. He exposes lies within lies, indecision within decision, payoffs within payoffs, and reports such a huge number of people with advance knowledge of the raid that it cannot possibly have been kept a secret.
I could add a fourth reason–the US government's lack of credibility. Washington lies about everything.

All the talk about the Jade Helm military exercises targeting Texas as "hostile territory" has turned the mainstream media into its usual self: finger-wagging denialists who pretend nothing is ever a threat unless they say so first. Jade Helm is no threat to your safety, they insist, but a tiny measles outbreak in Disneyland that killed no one should have you screaming in total panic. (Did you properly put on your measles paranoia tin foil hat before getting injected at Walgreens?)
In most parts of the country, a family with a median household income should — ideally — be able to afford a median-priced home in that area. In fact, an analysis of county-level data from RealtyTrac showed that a monthly payment on a median-priced home was more affordable than fair-market renton a three-bedroom unit in 76% of counties studied, making buying a home the more economical choice for many Americans.
The face of the American workforce is constantly changing. During the early days of the Republic, immigrants from Europe flooded the continent, a trend that largely continued into the 20th century. While that legacy endured for generations, the waves of incoming peoples started to include a more diverse mix — composed not merely of European groups, but also Asian, Latin American, and African as well, although sometimes unfortunately not always by their own free will.

The Freedom Flotilla's first attempt to break the blockade ended in the deaths of nine Turkish activists after Israeli Navy commandos on May 31, 2010 boarded the Mavi Marmara, which claimed to be carrying humanitarian aid, after warning the ship not to sail into waters near the Gaza Strip in circumvention of Israel's naval blockade of the coastal strip. A second attempt was turned back in October 2012.
It happened three years ago as part of the Taglit-Birthright program, which offers young Jews free 10-day trips to Israel. At Masada, 50 American students were on hand..."I have Italian neighbors I grew up next to, and they're wonderful, but if I had to decide whether to save their lives or the life of one Jew, I would choose to save the Jew. If I had to decide to save 100 non-Jews or one Jew, I would choose the Jew."
Flashback: The representatives of the children of the Shoah are demanding more than the usual compensation...The Israeli government is also calling on Berlin to make additional payments, even though Jerusalem signed a written promise, after the end of the compensation negotiations, that the Jewish state would "file no further claims against the Federal Republic of Germany."....In addition to compensation for individual survivors, Germany paid €1.5 billion to the Israeli government...But even that money wasn't enough.
Note: Between 2 and 4 hours of research will prove to anyone that the holocau$t as presented never happened.
The German government will pay 115 million euros towards the cost. As part of its atonement for the Nazi Holocaust, Germany is committed to Israel's security and has often helped pay in the past for the cost of military equipment such as submarines.
Note: The whole world will pay and pay and pay forever for an event that cannot be discussed, analyzed, examined or reviewed without going to prison!
No time was wasted after the announcement of the coalition government on Thursday, with the approved construction of 900 settler homes in East Jerusalem.

Cluster munitions are a particularly hideous weapon of war, designed primarily to kill people indiscriminately, both immediately and for years after they have been dispersed. Anti-personnel cluster munitions, whether delivered by air or artillery, burst in mid-air, spreading submunitions or bomblets that can remain lethal for years, as they have, for examples, in Viet-Nam, the Falklands, Chechnya, Croatia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Georgia, Libya, Syria, and now Yemen.

The ancient Greek historian, Polybius, celebrated the Roman republic of ~ 150 BC under its constitution with balance of powers among the Senate, two elected consuls, and the general citizens:
"Such being the power that each part has of hampering the others or co-operating with them, their union is adequate to all emergencies, so that it is impossible to find a better political system than this." - The Histories, Book VI, Section V: On the Roman Constitution at its Prime
Americans and people around the world were equally proud of the United States Constitution as "impossible to find a better political system than this."
About 100 years after Polybius' account, Rome's republic had descended into oligarchic competition for power. Contemporary to Julius Caesar, the Roman historian and government insider Sallust blasted the decline of virtue in government:

As a criminologist I see one common thread among the numerous items in the Clintons' baggage—the unfair exploitation of opportunity for relatively quick pleasures. I also see that they have very little regard for the long-term negative consequences of those decisions. They have low self-control, in other words, just like all "ordinary criminals." Ordinary criminals are the vast majority of arrestees almost everywhere. You don't have to be a criminologist to figure it out.
A federal appeals court has ruled that law enforcement agencies may access tracking information on cell phones without a warrant. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled (pdf) Tuesday that police were justified in asking a mobile phone provider to hand over the records of Quartavious Davis, who was convicted of committing seven armed robberies in South Florida in 2010. As part of the evidence used against Davis, prosecutors presented data showing that Davis' phone was using cell towers near sites of robberies.

After President Obama announced his amnesty plan in November of last year, 26 states filed a lawsuit against the federal government for failing to uphold their own immigration laws. The case was taken to federal court, where Judge Andrew Hanen issued an injunction against the plan on February 16th, ordering the federal government to stop their amnesty roll out. Despite the Justice Department's assurances that the plan had not been implemented, it was later discovered that the Department of Homeland Security had already started to issue 3 year deferrals to over 100,000 illegal aliens.
Last Thursday, Obama's lawyers admitted to an additional breach of the law.
The fact that people would vote for her for president basically just because she's a woman, ignoring four decades of corruption that trail behind her is nothing short of astonishing. Look how much scandal she's already faced in the last 40 years… and someone thinks it's a good idea for her to become president?
There was a time not too long ago when Americans were so patriotic, it was palpable. You couldn't throw a rock in any direction without hitting someone with stars and stripes in their eyes. There was a near unanimous belief that we were the shining city upon a hill, and that we were and always would be the greatest nation on Earth. While it was mostly found among conservatives, it did cross party lines to some extant. It was so pervasive that anyone who didn't believe it was pegged an extremist, or just plain weird.
But now? Not so much. The sentiment is still there I suppose, but you can almost feel it evaporating a little bit every day. The pride Americans feel for their country is slipping away, and is now an undeniable fact.

Hong-Chih Kuo drawing interest from three teams
Jan 29, 2012, 10:38 AM EDT
Veteran reliever Hong-Chih Kuo has failed to draw much free agent interest since being non-tendered by the Dodgers in mid-December. But that may start changing as spring training approaches.
According to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe, three West Coast teams have been "kicking the tires" recently on the 30-year-old left-hander.
Kuo pitched only 27 innings last season and has undergone a total of five elbow procedures, but he still possesses nasty raw stuff and has held left-handed batters to a .205/.282/.318 batting line for his career. On a non-guaranteed minor league deal, he'd be a worthwhile risk for just about any team.

Are you sure you're using "ArcGIS" or ArcView 3.x?
'.avx' files are extensions which add extra functionality to ArcView 3.x products ONLY. They DO NOT WORK with ArcGIS!
If you are looking for a tool for ArcGIS, then go to ESRI's download page and look for the proper tool there (it will be in another programming language such as .net, VB, C++, .com, etc. and most authors will provide specific instructions on how to install it).
If, in fact, you are using ArcView 3.x, copy or move the .avx file (unzipped) to your ESRI/AV_GIS30/Arcview/EXT32 folder. Then, in an ArcView project go to File/Extensions and turn on 'check' the box next to the extension you just 'installed'. Read the documentation about how to use it (could be on the download page, an attached text file or even in the header itself (you can open these with the Windows Notebook)). On first use, always apply the extension to a COPY of your data - depending upon who wrote the extension and how, and what other extensions you have loaded, there is a possibility that the new extension may not work properly.
Then, analyse away!
> I downloaded a file that converts polygons to points based on the vertices. The file is .avx, and I searched for a place to add the file, but there were about three options. Even if I add them to ARCGIS, how do I access the tool?
> Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Tim Robbins and the Rogues Gallery Band, Duke of York's, Brighton
Friday 01 October 2010
Getting bums on seats isn't the challenge when you're a hugely successful, silver-haired Hollywood actor living out your teenage dreams. It's keeping them there that's the problem. Plenty of Hollywood actors have trodden the rock'n'roll path before – Billy Bob Thornton, Clint Eastwood, Kevin Costner and, yes, William Shatner – and Tim Robbins, determinedly dressed down in jeans and a crumpled shirt, is keenly aware of the boulders that threaten to trip him up.
Robbins, Oscar-winning star of The Shawshank Redemption, Mystic River and The Player, has form when it comes to music. His father, Gilbert, was a musician, a member of successful early-Sixties folk group The Highwaymen, while Robbins Jr's teens were spent playing guitar and writing songs with the aim of turning it into a full-time job. In the end, it wasn't to be and, all these years later, the reasons are clear enough.
Americana is Robbins's genre of choice, taking in hillbilly country, gentle Appalachian folk and Southern blues while his most obvious idols are Steve Earle, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen. Among the most pressing problems is his voice, which is at best workmanlike and certainly lacks the richness and character to carry off such hallowed classics as Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues" and Billie Holiday's "What a Little Moonlight Can Do". "Mary Don't You Weep", a Negro spiritual about Mary of Bethany's pleas to Jesus to raise her brother Lazarus from the dead, would seem a ghastly choice of song for a rich, middle-aged white man and Robbins only gets through it by turning it into a mass sing-a-long. He makes a marginally better fist of Warren Zevon's "Don't Let Us Get Sick" though the saccharine instrumentation lets him down. His most successful cover is of Tom Waits's "All the World Is Green", if only by showing that his voice works best when it's not required to do much.
While certainly adept, his band The Rogues Gallery are far from the rapscallions that their name would suggest with their stiff postures and self-conscious smirks. Crammed on to a tiny stage they have brought along everything including the kitchen sink and it's up to this panoply of instruments – oboes, accordions, mandolins, saws, harmonicas – to bring the songs some much-needed texture.
If Robbins's choice of covers seems ill-judged they still manage to make his self-penned numbers appear flimsy by comparison. The opener, "Queen of Dreams", with its Irish folk-rock setting, plants the notion that we're watching a pub band that proves hard to shake for the rest of the night, while "Got a Crush on You", a sappy paean to forbidden love, simply curls the toes.
Ultimately, it's the warmth and humility of our host that keeps tonight's performance from being an outright disaster and, despite his musical limitations, he seems to be having a ball. It doesn't stop a handful of punters from heading home before the end, however, the sparkle of celebrity having clearly turned dull.
