There are only a few changes in this release.
Reports page. The published time of the report.
On the analysis page, the start and end time of the survey is only shown in local time if you have not set your own start or end preload question.
Times in exported files remain GMT. However if you export to XLS you can easily add a new column to show the time in another time zone. You just need to add (offset in hours) / 24 to the date / time column.
More of the web pages are available in other languages now. However only the Spanish translations have been provided so far. I’m waiting on the translators for French, Hindi and Portuguese to provide translations for these new pages.
Previously you had to press refresh on browser pages after a new version of Smap was released. This is no longer required as the browser will refresh automatically to get the new code. However there is a catch, for this feature to work it requires the browser to be refreshed! So you you will need to do that again for this release but only once more (for every page!).
When setting up an email server for an organisation the email port was not being set.
Various fixes to the editor approach to sub forms.

Economics terms such as inflation are thrown about by those in-the-know all too regularly. Frankly, it's baffling for those of us without expert knowledge in the subject, and “put simply” explanations are infrequent, to say the least. #LetsTalkPolitics and challenge this. Inflation can be defined as a sustained or persistent increase in the average price level of goods and services in an economy, or a fall in the purchasing power of a currency. The CPI or consumer price index measures the level of inflation; essentially it is a statistical estimate of prices in the economy constructed by using the prices of sample or representative goods such as butter, cars or soap.
Whilst the government does maintain a target of 2% the current level is lower at 1.2% (Nov 2016). This means that a basket of sample goods and services that would have cost £100.00 in November 2015 would have cost £101.20 in November 2016.
Inflation can be derived from both the demand side of the economy (us as consumers, buying goods and services) or from the supply-side of an economy (high prices of raw materials, increases in labour costs, import prices such as oil).
For example in reference to the demand-side – An increase in total demand in an economy at an unsustainable level will lead to the average price level rising. Causes of this demand-pull inflation could be a fall in the interest rate (the percentage rate charged on a loan or paid on savings), lower taxes (Income or VAT) or depreciation of the exchange rate. This will lead to demand for services and goods increasing, as consumers will be earning more. Hence suppliers will not have increased their output to match demand in the short-run and consequently they have the ability to rise prices of goods overall, hence leading to higher inflationary pressures.
Ultimately it’s interesting to see how inflation affects a substantial portion of the economy and has knock-on effects elsewhere.

Change the 'Program', Change Your Life!
Welcome to my latest hypnotic blog. It's been a couple of months and I am delighted to say that since that time I have been helping many people transform their lives. With hypnosis we are dealing with a very powerful transformational process, in which change can really happen in an 'instant'. To understand this more, the following analogy will be helpful.
Just like a computer has 'programs' running within it, so to does the human mind. Human beings are like advanced biological computers and we have these programs that are running automatically at a subconscious level. Examples would be our behaviours and habits. From the time we are born we are learning things at a subconscious level, from reading, writing, walking and talking. We are developing our behaviours and habits, some good and some bad. As we grow we automatically drop some behaviours or habits and change them for more appropriate ones. But sometimes what can happen is that we can get stuck (similar to a 'computer virus') and the program can malfunction or for some reason some part of us holds onto out dated programs that now no longer serve us. In fact the truth is that when most people come to see me, I am 'deprogramming' them of things that are making them unhappy, miserable and even sick (this is because the mind and body is connected, as i have discussed in previous blog posts).
With my powerful hypnosis program, I can help remove the glitch in your internal program or even better, I can remove the program (or virus) altogether! These unwanted programs can include a stress program, a worry program, a fear program, a smoking program or even an over eating program. Some of these programs might even be keeping you awake at night. You do not need these programs, or have to have them. It is actually near impossible to remove these programs 'consciously' , that is why for example 'will power' has only a 5% success rate when it comes to stop smoking, in comparison to hypnosis, which has a 90% plus success rate. The reason is that one is communicating directly with the subconscious mind, which is the source of the 'program' or 'virus'. That is why sometimes you might find that 'the harder you consciously try to do something the harder it gets'. The key is to remove and or fix the program at the subconscious level!
I use hypnosis, along with NLP and parts work to help you kick these programs into space and then help install new programs, for example, a confidence program, a happiness program, a motivation program, a positive thinking program, a healthy eating program or a stop smoking program...the list goes on. The hypnotic transformation that I facilitate will fix the computer for you and then show you what to do to keep it serving you. It is my opinion that our number one responsibility in this life is to fulfill our fundamental human need to feel good mentally, physically and emotionally. And just as you need to dump files on your computer (junk that is not needed and is slowing the computer down!), or when you need to remove old or corrupted programs, the same happens with us. The system (and hard drive and memory!) needs a regular clean up...so it can now run soother, faster and more productively. Hypnosis can help achieve you this, safely and effectively in an 'instant'!
It is my hope that you enjoyed this blog post and you have found it informational and helpful. Tune in next time for another hypnotic experience!

So my mum and I came across the Garnier 'ultimate blends' shampoo and conditioner, that has coconut oil and cocoa butter inside, which is part of what interested us in it! The main reason to why we purchased it (we share shampoos and conditioners to save money, cute I know *wink*), is because it's recommended for dry and frizzy hair, which I have most certainly been a victim of recently! Whilst using it I have had lovely soft hair, that also smells wonderful! Coconut oil is supposed to be extremely good for your hair, so I tend to trust products that have that included.
In the boots store there is a half price sale on the Garnier 'ultimate blends' hair products, so click the link below to check them out!
My mum has ALWAYS encouraged me to do this, especially as I have very thick hair, but brush you hair every single day at least twice a day! An easy way I remember to do this is when I brush my teeth, I've paired the two together so I won't forget or not bother!
I never used to bother brushing my hair, because I literally just could not be bothered, which was not good, as I would get killer nots that were incredibly hard to get out and I wasn't brushing out hairs that needed to come out. If you over brush your hair that can cause your hair to look greasy very quickly, so there is a limit, but it is so important to brush your hair to keep it healthy.
Do not wash your hair every single day, unless you fell in mud or something like that, you get the idea. The less you wash your hair, the better, because although your hair gets greasy, your producing oils on your scalp that your hair needs to stay healthy. I remember a short period when I washed my hair excessively and it became greasy a lot more, because I was basically over-cleaning it.
There are ways in which, if you decide not to wash your hair for a couple of days and it starts looking a little dirty or greasy, you can fix it by backcombing your hair, simply putting it up into a bun or ponytail, or using dry shampoo which is a very popular option. For dry shampoos I definitely recommend the Batiste ones, there are a lot to use from in terms of colour, smell and style! They do large, medium, small and travel size, so are appropriate for anything!
When blowdrying your hair, when your hair is dry STOP! Otherwise if you continue drying you dry hair, it'll become more dry and damaged.
When using heat products try and use heat protect, it may not completely protect your hair, but it helps enough!
So there are my top tips for now!
Hope this post has interested you, or helped you in some way!

The time is right for a little rock’n’roll – and who better to rock our world than Louise Brooks? The British Silent Film Festival is putting on a screening of Beggars of Life (1928), which stars Brooks as a young runaway who dresses as a boy and falls in with criminals, “riding the rails” across Depression-era America. It is known as the best of Brooks’s American silents, thanks to her fresh lead performance and the film’s fast-moving pace. If you’ve read Lulu in Hollywood, you’ll know from Brooks’s own account that between the stuntwork, the bitchiness and the practical jokes, the cast and crew had a hell of a time making this film, too.
This promises to be a fantastic show – and tickets for the screening are likely to be very popular. Beggars of Life screens in NFT1 at the BFI Southbank on Sunday 10 April at 6pm. Tickets are £13 or £9.75 for concessions and £1.50 less for members. Tickets go on sale to BFI members on 8 March, and on general sale on 15 March. For more details, visit the BFI website.

You've received great advice so far. But I have to add that a slow cooker is not the best vehicle for it---especially when you are cooking something as lean as turkey. The cornstarch mentioned above is called a "slurry" and it should help. But the best vessel is a well seasoned cast iron pot with the lid only partially covering.
You could also mash up some black beans to thicken.
I would thicken with a tablespoon or two of tomato paste.
You may either cook the chili down for longer which will keep reducing the liquid or you can add a roux (flour and fat sauteed on the stove and then whisked into your chili) or add some cornstarch to some chili liquid and then add that back to the chili. Good luck!
Q: what is a great way to cook turkey chili if you are can't eat onions or peppers? thank you!
Best ingredients for turkey stock?
My chili is too acidic - what can I add?

The GZEP participants cleaning up Oxen Run Park in Southeast DC.
Programming at ECC keeps us busy. We mostly work with kids participating in environmental programs, but are happy to host all kinds of people and groups. Some of the larger programs we host are the kids from GZEP and Good Camp. GZEP stands for Green Zone Environmental Program. It functions as a summer job for youth 16-24 years of age. The program runs five days a week and ECC works with GZEP twice a week in six hour sessions. Good Camp is a day program for children 8-12 years old. The program is five days a week and a supplement to the school. These kids get to learn about environmental issues, DC history, and their communities. We work with the kids from Good Camp four times a week in one hour sessions. There are more than enough kids around to keep us busy.
Each program spans multiple weeks in the summer and we get to see the kids so often, it feels almost like a summer camp. From water quality monitoring to wetland restorations to nature walks, we are teaching these youthful minds all about the environment and what it means to our local community. Now that we are a few weeks in, some names and faces are becoming a lot more familiar and I am excited to see them grow and increase their environmental knowledge! If we get lucky, hopefully we will inspire future conservationists.

In these uncertain times, one of the chief responsibilities of a property owner is to make absolutely sure that the property is a safe place and that its perimeter is as completely secure as possible. One of the most reliable ways to do this is with a Precast Walling Installation Blue Gill Estate.
We are a Precast Walling Installation Blue Gill Estate and fencing company and our reputation for excellence and experience brings many prospective clients to us with queries about walling. One option that we frequently recommend, in both domestic and commercial situations, is precast walling.
Concrete precast walling Blue Gill Estate panels are cast in the factory, as opposed to being poured on-site in the conventional manner. This has many advantages. Our clients are often concerned that precast panels might not be as strong and durable as concrete or brick walling constructed on-site – in fact they are equally as durable and resilient, and being produced in controlled factory conditions actually makes them less susceptible to variables of temperature and other conditions occurring on building sites.
The flexibility and reliability of precast walling in Blue Gill Estate is also illustrated by the fact that it is made up of separate panels secured between concrete posts. This means that if one panel should become damaged in any way, repairs can be effected easily and quickly by simply removing and replacing that panel, with the rest of the wall being left intact.
In terms of security, precast walling installation Blue Gill Estate is totally compatible with electric fencing being installed along its length, with the vertical elements attached to the support posts.
Call Precast Walling Installation Blue Gill Estate today to find out more about these and many other advantages of installing precast walling on your property.

As your pregnancy progresses, you will be thinking about the actual birthing process. You may be dreaming of a simple and natural delivery, and you may also be afraid that something will go wrong. Everyone has thoughts about what a perfect delivery would be. And every mother-to-be has fears about the end of the pregnancy, about labor, and about the health of the baby.
You should make a birth plan, but remember that sometimes a plan cannot be followed.
You could say that the ideal for most prospective moms is a normal vaginal delivery, probably in a birthing center with a bedroom-like, comfortable, delivery room. Most would also like the practitioner that has been following them through their pregnancy be the one to deliver the baby.
Hopefully you have found an obstetrician that you like, and you have discussed whether she or a colleague might be the one to deliver your baby. Perhaps a midwife is going to help with the delivery, either at a birthing center or hospital. A home birth is also possible, but you may have to look a little harder for a healthcare provider who will help you.
If you want a completely natural childbirth with no medication, you may have picked a midwife or you may communicate this to your doctor. Ther are many ways to manage your labor pain, including breathing techniques, such as Lamaze and Bradley. There is also yoga, hypnosis, and calming music. Your partner can help you as well with massage and counter-pressure. You can walk, lie down, or find any position that increases your comfort. You can even have many family members with you. In birthing centers, you can often take a relaxing shower or even a bath. Water births are available in some birthing centers. Giving birth in a tub is supposed to be relaxing and natural for both the baby and the mother. If you want a water birth, you need to make sure your midwife or obstetrician is comfortable with your choice.
All of these choices can be fine if you have a low-risk pregnancy, if you yourself are healthy, and the labor proceeds without any problems.
Labor pain is mainly from the contraction of the uterus, but also from the pressure of the baby as he or she moves down the birth canal. In early labor, when the cervix is slowly dilating, you can usually be up and walking.
Talk to some moms who have delivered this way. If you speak to enough women, including your friends and relatives, some of them will tell you that when labor got bad they wanted the pain medicine, NOW! It's a joke you will see in television and movies, women in the active stage of labor screaming at their husbands and demanding pain medicine. The truth is that labor pains are called pains for a reason. Labor is long, exhausting, and very painful. If you want pain relief, you should not feel guilty. But if you want all those choices available, you need to be in a hospital with an obstetrician or a nurse midwife who works with an obstetrician. To get an epidural, which is probably the best pain control you can get, you need an anesthesiologist in the hospital. In some places, you have to speak with the anesthesiologist before you go into labor.
Labor pain is mainly from the contraction of the uterus, but also from the pressure of the baby as he or she moves down the birth canal. In early labor, when the cervix is slowly dilating, you can usually be up and walking. Pain medicine at this stage is often narcotics by vein or injection into muscle. This may make you a little sleepy, but it will help take the edge off the pain. Later, during active labor, an epidural may be your best choice. The anesthesiologist numbs a spot on your lower back and uses a needle to advance a small plastic tube into the space around your spinal cord and its coverings. He or she will then put a tiny amount of anesthetic and/or narcotic directly in. The tube stays in place so that more medicine can be added as your labor continues. Depending on what medicine is used and how perfectly it works, you may not feel your contractions. Or, you just may feel the pressure, but not pain. This does sometimes slow labor, but it is easier to tolerate. In the end, you can still help push out the baby. You are wide awake, and essentially none of the medicine has gotten to the baby.
You can continue with your labor plan. Maybe you want your husband to cut the cord, and then you want your baby placed on your chest. As long as you and the baby are well, the plan worked.
I feel the same way, it is 42 miles to the hospital where my child will be born. This is my first child n I am scared that my baby might make it in the world before i make it to the hospital.
This is my 3rd child, and i never had a set birthing plan. I have gone with the flow in the past. I went all natural with my first 2 and it was a breeze, But i love the idea to have a plan so my doctors and my husband should know what i want.
I’m so scared of the pain during labor, but I don’t want to miss any of it and I don’t want to do a c-section just so not to feel it. I am glad my husband will be there with me.
I know labor isn’t going to be a breeze, but I hope things go smoothly.
Hoping for all natural. Expecting the worse hoping for the best.
I had come up with a birth pan, but it never made it to the doctor’s hand because my labor progressed very quickly. It was all natural though. I wanted it to be a natural birth all during my pregnancy. People told me i was crazy! But I did it before with my son, I can do it again! As active labor progressed, i said, "Screw it, give me the epidural!" But it was too late, the baby was coming, so I had no choice but go natural. I am happy now that i did.
There is so much to decide!
I had no plan with my first. I was induced, got an epidural, got IV meds, etc. The epidural was the worst experience of my life. It took three tries (the second one paralyzed me for a few hours), then it only numbed my left leg. The entire birthing experience was very traumatizing. I’m going all natural this time to avoid the cascade of interventions that has haunted me for the past 8 years.
This article helped me out some. I’ve been trying to figure out what to do for a birth plan.
Jen – I would say you and your husband are taking the best approach you can. You are prepared and you know that things don’t always go according to the "plan" we have in our heads. I think looking at your options is a great idea but I like that you aren’t tied to any one way of going about it. I think that will help you when the time comes so you don’t freak out if it doesn’t go EXACTLY as you might like.
This is a helping article.
My midwife has encouraged my husband and I to look into all the available birthing methods out there and to create a birth plan to prepare for the delivery, come July.
Is it weird that neither my husband nor I are leaning toward any particular method?
We are hoping for just a ‘normal’ natural birthing experience and don’t want to put too much thought into what method to use, as when it comes down to the actual labor it’s going to be intense and probably nothing like what we’re expecting at all (we’re first-time parents-to-be).
We just don’t want to spend too much time worrying about what method to use when, as the article simply states: "…sometimes a plan cannot be followed."
Birth plans, is new to me, we did not make a plan we just got ready, and went to the hospital. Where the doctors and other care givers in that area of the hospital took care of your needs until you went home.
Back your bag, have phone numbers for emergency and alerting family. Off you go.
I printed out a birth plan from thebump.com. It was very easy to fill in and made the task less daunting.
I wrote out my whole birth plan and then asked my partner the same questions that I thought about while doing the birth plan…. I had to explain a lot of things for him, but he politely asked for several things that I was adamant about NOT doing or having done. It took us a while, but we finally got it hammered out. He got his way. It won’t hurt me any to have the baby in the room with me and waiting a few minutes to have the baby weighted and measured so he can scramble to tell everyone before she its is fine I guess. It is only a few minutes so Its not a big problem at all. I just had to lighten up. He gave me my way with everything else so I can give him those 2 things.
I’ve had 2 children, and am pregnant with my third. My first was all natural, no pain meds/epidural. My daughter was induced, so had Nubane, but also no epidural. My reasoning is simple…the recovery time is so much faster without an epidural. I’ve also seen two people (personally) recover from epidural, one was still experiencing numbness in her hands a year later, and my roommate in the hospital with my daughter still couldn’t get out of bed more than 12 hours after I got into the room. My brother met someone in physical therapy that had to learn to walk all over again after a complication from an epidural. I’ll deal with the pain thanks.
I’m blessed to have a very healthy pregnancy and have been going to a midwife. I decided to not take an epidural and have a completely natural birth. I’m just praying for a healthy birth with no medical interventions.
This is a very simple explanation..and very helpful. Oddly enough, I find the term "birth plan" a bit silly because these plans always change.. But it’s a good idea to share your hopes and expectations with your partner & doctor.

jen – i would say you and your husband are taking the best approach you can. you are prepared and you know that things don’t always go according to the "plan" we have in our heads. i think looking at your options is a great idea but i like that you aren’t tied to any one way of going about it. i think that will help you when the time comes so you don’t freak out if it doesn’t go exactly as you might like.
this is a helping article.
my midwife has encouraged my husband and i to look into all the available birthing methods out there and to create a birth plan to prepare for the delivery, come july.
is it weird that neither my husband nor i are leaning toward any particular method?
we are hoping for just a ‘normal’ natural birthing experience and don’t want to put too much thought into what method to use, as when it comes down to the actual labor it’s going to be intense and probably nothing like what we’re expecting at all (we’re first-time parents-to-be).
we just don’t want to spend too much time worrying about what method to use when, as the article simply states: "…sometimes a plan cannot be followed."
birth plans, is new to me, we did not make a plan we just got ready, and went to the hospital. where the doctors and other care givers in that area of the hospital took care of your needs until you went home.
back your bag, have phone numbers for emergency and alerting family. off you go.
i printed out a birth plan from thebump.com. it was very easy to fill in and made the task less daunting.
i wrote out my whole birth plan and then asked my partner the same questions that i thought about while doing the birth plan…. i had to explain a lot of things for him, but he politely asked for several things that i was adamant about not doing or having done. it took us a while, but we finally got it hammered out. he got his way. it won’t hurt me any to have the baby in the room with me and waiting a few minutes to have the baby weighted and measured so he can scramble to tell everyone before she its is fine i guess. it is only a few minutes so its not a big problem at all. i just had to lighten up. he gave me my way with everything else so i can give him those 2 things.
i’ve had 2 children, and am pregnant with my third. my first was all natural, no pain meds/epidural. my daughter was induced, so had nubane, but also no epidural. my reasoning is simple…the recovery time is so much faster without an epidural. i’ve also seen two people (personally) recover from epidural, one was still experiencing numbness in her hands a year later, and my roommate in the hospital with my daughter still couldn’t get out of bed more than 12 hours after i got into the room. my brother met someone in physical therapy that had to learn to walk all over again after a complication from an epidural. i’ll deal with the pain thanks.
i’m blessed to have a very healthy pregnancy and have been going to a midwife. i decided to not take an epidural and have a completely natural birth. i’m just praying for a healthy birth with no medical interventions.
this is a very simple explanation..and very helpful. oddly enough, i find the term "birth plan" a bit silly because these plans always change.. but it’s a good idea to share your hopes and expectations with your partner & doctor.

Some people have more than one disability; some have disabilities that cannot be seen.
As part of a major refurbishment programme at our Clacton office improvements have been made with a view to meeting the needs of as many clients as possible, but in particular, our disabled clients. You can read more about the improvements we have made here.
To complement the improvements in Clacton and the facilities we already have at our Colchester office the Directors of TSP arranged Disability Awareness Training for all staff. The training was intended to enable participants to explore their attitudes to disability and to understand the different types of disability.
The training also challenged our staff to think about their attitudes towards disability and to ensure they understand how to meet the needs of our disabled clients, whatever their disability might be.
Please do let us know when you book your appointment if you need to use the meeting room designed for wheelchair access or if you would like to use the induction hearing loop, or indeed if there are any other adjustments that we can make for you. We are confident that our staff will be willing and able to help all of our clients.
An induction hearing loop is designed to help those who have a hearing impairment, regardless of whether they use a hearing aid or not.
If you use a hearing aid that has a T setting then you can take advantage of the loop simply by switching to the T setting. For those who struggle to hear but don’t wear a hearing aid, or whose aid does not have a T setting, the loop has a hand held receiver that the user can put to their ear.

A royal pretender is a person who claims the throne of a country of empire. The only problem is that the throne in question is either occupied by a current recognized monarch, or the throne has been completely abolished. A perfect example is France. The French abolished their monarchy centuries ago, but there are still some who claim to be the rightful king of France. These people are of descent from previous kings and their legitimacy is recognized by only a handful of loyal monarchists. There was a time, not too long ago, when most countries were ruled by kings and queens. But most were overthrown and only a few remain today. The result of this is dozens of royal pretenders. Here are 10 current royal pretenders to thrones.
Louis Alphonse is currently a Spanish Duke, but he’s not just happy with that! He claims to be the rightful king of France despite the French monarchy being abolished back in 1881. He is the current head of the House of Bourbon, which was the ruling dynasty of France until it’s abolition. Louis Alphonse is like every other royal pretenders – he’s related to some interesting characters. His cousin is the current King of Spain. His great grandfather was Francisco Franco, the dictator of Sprain from 1938 to 1973. I don’t see the French monarchy returning any time soon but the future still looks pretty good for this guy as a wealthy Duke.
Iran was an absolute monarchy until 1979 when a revolution abolished it. This marked the end of the world’s longest continuous monarchy. The Shah was Iran was forced to flee to Egypt, where he died the next year. Today, his first born son claims to be the true Shah of Iran. He is the head of the family and hopes to return to Iran one day as king. His name is Reza Pahlavi. He is 55 years old and isn’t just wasting his life in bitterness. He has founded and built his own media network and was voted Iran’s person of the year in 2011. With his popularity, it’s very possible that he could one day be the next Shah of Iran.
With the full name Franz Bonaventura Adalbert Maria Herzog von Bayern, it’s no wonder he’s simply known by the Duke of Bavaria. After spending his childhood in Nazi camps, he became the pretender to the now non-existent throne of Bavaria. But he now also claims the thrones of England, Scotland, Ireland, and France. But why does he claim these thrones? Because he is descended from James II, who was the last catholic king of Britain. He was overthrown just 3 years into his reign by an English revolution. Ever since then there has been a group of supporters who wish James II’s rightful heir to be crowned king. The Duke of Bavaria seems to be the current heir.
Maria Vladimirovna claims to be the true Empress of Russia. She is the current head of the House of Romanov and therefore claims the throne. The Romanov family is the traditional family who ruled Russia for many generations. Her great great grandfather was Alexander II, emperor of all Russia until 1881. Interestingly, she seems to be married to a similar pretender. Her husband is Prince Franz Wilhelm, who claims to be a Prussian prince. This is strange because Prussia is a German state that doesn’t exist any more. Royal pretender do tend to hang around together.
Pedro Carlos is a descendant of Pedro II, who was Emperor of Brazil from 1831 to 1889. The Brazilian monarchy has since been abolished, partly because Brazil isn’t even an Empire any more so I don’t know how Pedro Carlos can claim to be Emperor. Carlos made his career as a forest engineer, which is important in South-America, and there is some speculation to what his personal political views are. Pedro Carlos is actually the cousin of both the current King of Spain and the current Queen on Britain. His claim to the Brazilian throne is disputed by other members of his own family. And at the age of 70, I don’t think he’ll ever be crowned.
Karl von Habsburg is royal pretender to the throne of Austria-Hungary. Austria-Hungary was a long-lived and powerful empire until it was split up as punishment for fighting on the wrong side of the first world war. So Austria and Hungary now exist as separate independent nations. Austria and Hungary have both completely outlawed all royal and imperial titles, which might be a sign they want nothing to do with a return to monarchism. Yet Karl von Habsburg still claims to be the rightful heir to the non-existent throne of a non-existent country. Royal pretenders aren’t exactly known for being realistic in their outlook.
There are several Royal pretenders to the French throne. The most interesting is Jean-Christophe. He is the head of the House of Bonaparte, which was the house of Emperor Napoleon. Could it be that this man claims the French throne through the lineage of Napoleon Bonaparte? Yes. Known as Prince Napoleon, only a handful recognize his claim to the throne. He is of descent of European royalty, but not much of it. He’s essentially just a random ordinary person who wants power. And that’s something I think we can all respect.
These days, Vietnam is a communist dictatorship but it was an imperial state for the longest time. The last Emperor of Vietnam was Bảo Đại, who was overthrown by a rigged referendum on whether the country should become a republic. So the emperor abdicated and eventually fled to France, where he died in 1997. After he fled, the Vietnam war broke out and the entire nation became a socialist one-party republic. Bao Thang is the son of Bảo Đại and he claims the throne of Vietnam. He only became the pretender to the throne in 2007 after the death of his older brother.
The Portuguese monarchy was completely abolished in 1910, which made life difficult for their king who didn’t die until 22 years later. Today, Duarte Pio claims to be the rightful king of Portugal. He isn’t descended from the last king but he is the great grandson of king Miguel, who ruled from 1828 to 1834. Duarte Pio is in a weird position as he is widely recognized as the heir to the thrown and Portuguese politicians usually being in favour of monarchism, there is no real movement to reintroduce the monarchy. And I find that confusing.
The Kingdom of Gwynedd was a strong Welsh kingdom founded in the 5th century after the collapse of Rome in Britain. It was located in Northern Wales and lasted for quite a while before finally being absorbed into Wales in 1216 AD. So the Gwynedd throne hasn’t existed for literally 800 years. Literally. Yet there is a man called Evan Vaughan who claims the throne. It’s a mad world we live in.
