There are plenty of unusual, or unique, casinos available for your gaming pleasure. With the global gambling market set to reach a worldwide gross yield of 495 billion USD by 2019, these casinos aren't going away anytime soon, so you have time to take advantage of the vast variety of casinos available around the world. There are a few which rise above the others in uniqueness, and don't forget about knowing the do's and don'ts of fashionable apparel needed.
That's right folks! Summer is around the corner. You know what that means in The Constant Rambler household… Road Trips! It's what we live for. Getting in the car with the windows down and the music blasting and hitting the road to find new adventures. There are a few things we do before packing up the car and heading out though. The dog needs a good bath, the car needs a thorough cleaning and our music lists need updating. Then comes my least favorite part of any road trip, the packing. Oh how I detest the packing, but it is necessary. Here is a short summer road trip shopping list that we put together to help your summer travels be safe and fun for all.
The 2017 holiday gift giving season is upon us! We've got two sections of our Gift Guide for the Travel Lover this year!
One for great gifts that your travel loving friends and family will enjoy while exploring the world, and the other for lovely travel inspired gifts for the travelers' home! Enjoy!
Winter might not seem like the ideal time to go on a hike, however beautiful views and isolated trails are some great perks of winter hiking.
The winter season is known for cold conditions, therefore it is crucial that you prepare properly for a winter hike. Depending on your location, winter conditions can vary from mild temperatures to snow and ice. No matter where you are, always check the weather to know what to expect. If you are in an area that is very snowy, a winter hike will most definitely require snowshoes for easy travel in deep snow.
While there are many packing tricks and hacks for getting as much as you can into on bag, they often leave you with quite the mess when it comes to unpacking at your destination. This can be especially true of your smaller items like, socks, undies, and accessories. Origami Unicorn, the team behind the TUO ( travel undergarment organizer), recognized this and came up with a purpose built solution that not only helps you save space, but actually keeps everything supremely organized! Plus, how cute is that logo!?!


The journey began for Morgan Heritage with their first performance in Jamaica in 1992 on the opening night of Reggae Sunsplash. Their precocious musicianship and assured stage presence generated such excitement, they were invited to perform on Sunsplash's Saturday night finale. The years that followed were truly remarkable. Morgan Heritage has firmly stamped their place in the Reggae World, with numerous hit singles and several top shelf albums to their credit.
Their latest release 'The Journey Thus Far' showcases the finely honed modern roots identity that has made Morgan Heritage one of reggae's most enduringly successful acts. It's a compilation of the group's finest recordings to date, plus two previously unreleased tracks.
The journey begins with 5 tracks produced by the legendary Bobby 'Digital' Dixon for Digital-B Productions. Protect Us Jah, a bended- knee supplication to the most high, and Let's Make Up, a bubbling, lover's rock ballad featuring Gramps and Una in tandem, appear from 1997's 'Protect Us Jah' album, followed by 3 tunes from 1999's 'Don't Haffi Dread' including the anthemic title track, Reggae Bring Back Love, and New Time, New Sign.
Next comes the empowering Liberation on the self-produced Mt. Zion riddim from the album 'Morgan Heritage Family and Friends Volume 1. The classic, Dean Fraser produced, Down By the River, followed by the self -produced Jah Seed and Meskal Square come next via their 4th album, 2001's 'More Teachings'.
2003's 'Three In One' is showcased next with the lovers track She's Still Loving Me and two more Digital B tunes. A Man is Still a Man is a rocking tune with a timeless message and Jump Around(Remix) will definitely make you want to do just that, although the original version would have suited this collection better than the remix. 'Three In One' is probably their best effort to date and honestly could almost stand alone as a greatest hits album. So, needless to say, there could have easily been 10 other tracks from the album included in The Journey Thus Far. Tunes like A Who Dem, The Truth, Everything is Still Everything, Judge Not, Works To Do, Nice Up U Medi, and Falling Race, to name a few.
The journey continues with 3 boom tunes from 2006's 'Full Circle'. The Donovan Bennett -produced Tell Me How Come is a wicked denunciation of the injustices that continue to plague Jamaica and the world, while Your Best Friend, on Bennett's iconic 'Drop Leaf' riddim, earned cheers from women everywhere. Nestled between these gems is the Robert Livingston- produced I'm Coming Home. Gramps takes the lead in testifying about the loneliness that accompanies life on the road.
2008's 'Mission In Progress' is represented with the tunes Brooklyn and Jamaica, produced by Shane Brown, Love You Right with production handled well by fellow artist Singing Melody, and the classic boom shot produced by Kemar McGregor, Nothing to Smile About. Again, there are at least a few other tunes that could have been included such as Yute Dem Share, Faithful, and Youths Today.
The set closes with two previously unreleased tracks. Kurt Riley produces a nice, one drop, love song on Here To Stay and Frenchie, of the U.K.'s Maximum Sound, lends his support on Guards Up, another hard-hitting commentary about the violence in Jamaica.
Overall, 'The Journey Thus Far' is a solid representation of Morgan Heritage's body of work. True, there are a few question marks regarding selection here, however, let's blame that on the fact that there was just too much quality work from Morgan Heritage over the years for VP records to choose from and that's definitely not a bad thing. 'The Journey Thus Far' is a great album and will make a nice addition to any collection. If you're left wanting more than their 2003 release 'Three In One' is highly recommended!!

Coronavirus Will Cause Further Crossrail Delay, Admits Sadiq Khan
By Will Noble Last edited 34 months ago
Will Noble Coronavirus Will Cause Further Crossrail Delay, Admits Sadiq Khan
Hampered yet again. Image: TfL
We were waiting for the next Crossrail delay, and now we've got it. As coronavirus continues to wreak havoc in every conceivable way, the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has said it is 'inevitable' that the pandemic will affect Crossrail's progress.
The massive (and massively over-budget) rail infrastructure project — linking home counties in the East and West, via London — was originally due to open in December 2018, but various setbacks have seen it pushed back again and again.
Most recently, it was estimated that Crossrail would be running in its entirety by December 2022, but now, reports City AM, the mayor has admitted that this opening date will likely be postponed.
At a recent London Assembly meeting, when questioned by Caroline Pigeon, deputy chairwoman of the London Assembly's Transport Committee, what the implications of coronavirus on Crossrail would be, Khan replied:"If I'm saying only essential workers should go to work, if I'm saying the best way to reduce the spread of the virus is to stay at home unless you have to work, that is an impact.
"The Crossrail team will do what they can to work remotely where they can but some of the things you need to be physically there to do."
These further delays aren't just bad news to commuters, but to businesses whose livelihoods hang in the balance over the timeliness of the Crossrail project. An even later opening date — along with the economic implications of the Covid-19 outbreak — means that some businesses will likely struggle to survive.
Keep up to date on all the latest London coronavirus news.

When to take prebiotics is one of the more common questions asked by those interested in these food ingredients. The right time depends on your convenience, but it is better if you have daily doses of these useful ingredients to keep you going and healthy.
Prebiotics are non-digestible dietary fibers or food ingredients that stimulate the growth and activity of good bacteria present in our gut. This helps keep our digestive tract well-balanced and protected from toxins and bad bacteria that are the cause of various digestive disorders and other illnesses.
We all know that irregular visits to the bathroom can be a drag. It ruins the day and it erodes our energy, making it difficult for us to perform our daily activities. And it is not just diarrhea and constipation that we need to worry about if our digestive system is imbalanced. There are a host of other diseases that we may suffer from just because we neglect to take care of our gut.
This is what prebiotics do, they keeps our gut healthy, allowing us to perform our daily activities with energy and without feeling lousy. A healthy gut is a healthy body. And a healthy body is a functional, happy you. If we want to really care for ourselves, we should focus on our gut.
Everyone should have daily doses of these beneficial ingredients. They are present in various plant species, including kiwi fruit, chicory root, asparagus, artichoke, onion and garlic. Including these edible plants in our daily diet will provide us with prebiotics, although the amount will depend on what we eat and how much we eat.
For most busy people, keeping tabs of daily meals is not exactly an attractive prospect. That is why most of them favor taking prebiotic nutritional supplements instead. This is a very good way to get the right daily doses of prebiotics, particularly if you choose the right supplement. For most, Kiwi-Klenz is the preferred supplement, owing mainly to its purity, efficacy and safety.
When it comes to who should take prebiotics, everyone can eat food products that contain these ingredients (unless they have adverse reactions to any of these sources). Prebiotics are generally safe and supplements that contain them are also a safe bet. They are safe for children, although adults should always supervise kids when they are taking supplements, medicines or simply trying new types of food.
Older people will particularly benefit from prebiotics, given that digestion becomes more difficult as people age. The lack of activity is one factor that contributes to older people's digestive problems and this can be balanced off by taking supplements made from prebiotics. Regular adults, particularly busy ones, should also take prebiotics to maintain their digestive health. Some people who travel constantly suffer from diarrhea and constipation, but they can resolve this by taking these food ingredients.
As non-digestible food ingredients, prebiotics are able to effectively travel through our digestive tract without altering their original state, thereby making them more effective in performing their function – that of feeding the good bacteria in our gut. Aside from keeping our intestinal flora healthy and thriving, prebiotics are also known to stimulate metabolism.
They have also been touted as effective in preventing hypertension and regulating bowel pH. Studies have shown that prebiotics have great potential when it comes to lowering the risks of colorectal cancer. All in all, they keep our gut strong, healthy and free from the effects of toxins and bad microorganisms, thereby providing us with overall health benefits. When to take prebiotics depends on your own preference, although a daily dose will be the most ideal.

Boats Boats Boats!
When thinking about the Great Lakes fur trade, most people will imagine French Canadian voyageurs paddling huge birchbark canoes filled with tons of furs or trade goods. Canoes were absolutely an integral part of the fur trade, and provided a vital link between Michilimackinac and other communities around the Great Lakes. However, they were by no means the only watercraft on the lakes, and a great deal of people and goods were moved by a type of large rowboat called a bateau.
In the 18th century, there were few standardized plans for batteaux. Although the British Admiralty used a standard 30-foot design for vessels destined for military service in Canada, individual batteaux might range from less than 20 feet long to over 30, and there were regional variations in design. All shared a few common features: a flat bottom without a keel, heavier stems at the bow and stern, and butted plank construction. Relatively easy to build so long as appropriate woodworking tools were on hand, a bateau could be knocked together without the need for skill ship carpenters or shipyards. A bateau could be paddled, poled, or propelled under sail, but generally the vessels were powered by large wooden oars.
While canoes (and sailing vessels) were absolutely workhorses of the Great Lakes in the 18th century, in many instances there were more batteaux on the lakes and rivers than other types of watercraft. In 1778, for example, 374 batteaux set out from Montreal for Michilimackinac and other western posts, while only 152 canoes left the city for the summer trading season. Individual merchants might own or hire several batteaux. Michilimackinac merchant John Askin, for instance, dispatched 10 batteaux in 1777, while trading partners Thomas Smith, William Taylor, and Edward Ripley sent 16 more to Detroit and Michilimackinac. A 1778 inventory of Askin's estate included both a "Common batea[u]" and a "Small fish [bateau]," both presumably for personal use rather than heavy trade.
The British military also heavily employed batteaux to move personnel and supplies around the lakes and connect far-flung posts like Michilimackinac and Detroit. As somewhat disposable craft exposed to relatively heavy work, these batteaux required regular repair and maintenance. In 1771 Capt. George Turnbull received £85 for mending boats, making oars, and burning pitch at Michilimackinac. By 1778, Sergeant Amos Langdon of the 8th Regiment was issued nails from the engineer's stores to repair the King's batteaus and the wharf. Although somewhat more cumbersome than a canoe, a bateau could efficiently cover great distance at speed. In late September 1778, an express canoe traveled from Michilimackinac to Montreal in 10 to 14 days, while a batteau rowed by eight "active men" could go to the city and return to Michilimackinac by November 10, making a 6 week round trip. However, supplies to maintain the boats could be difficult to procure, making repairs difficult. In 1779, Major Arent DePeyster, Michilimackinac's commanding officer, unsuccessfully requested pitch and oakum to repair batteaux. A year later, DePeyster sent pitch and oakum up from Detroit to repair the batteaus at Michilimackinac, telling Lt. Gov. Patrick Sinclair that these materials were previously hard to get. Boat repairs could be a thankless task. In 1774, Lt. Col. John Caldwell, commanding the 8th Regiment at Fort Niagara, complained that "The old ones [batteaus] have been so often repaired since I came here that it is throwing money away to attempt repairing them again." Apparently the old adage about a boat being a hole in the water is somewhat older than expected.
Today, a 22-foot bateau is part of the small interpretive fleet at Colonial Michilimackinac (we also have a 28-foot north canoe and a 35-foot Montreal canoe). We use all of these vessels to interpret the vital relationship between Michilimackinac and the surrounding waters of the Great Lakes, and our interpretive staff maintains these boats and utilizes them for special events. This summer, we will have three Maritime Michilimackinac weekends focusing on the roles and chores of sailors, voyageurs, and others working to maintain Michilimackinac's marine links to the outside world. Weather permitting, our staff will use our bateau and canoes to get out on the water, so we hope you'll join us for these special events!

Will the Allure of Business Class Upgrades Motivate Japan's Women's Soccer Team To Win Gold?
By Krystal Bonner
Japan celebrates beating Canada in its first Olympic match on Wednesday.
Photo by Paul Ellis/AFP/GettyImages.
The defending Women's World Cup champions from Japan won their Olympic opener today against Canada 2-1. The Japanese soccer team showed no ill effects from their 13-hour flight to Europe, where they were bunched into the plane's "premium economy" section. Japan's less-storied, non-World Cup-winning men's team, meanwhile, flew business class at much greater expense. "I guess it should have been the other way around," women's team captain Homare Sawa told the Japanese press.
It's not just the Japanese who practice Olympic air-travel discrimination. Australia's men's basketball team likewise enjoyed the comforts of business class on its way to London while the women's team flew in the back. As with the Japanese soccer teams, the Australian women have been more successful than the men on the court, winning three straight silver medals in basketball.
Basketball Australia has said it is reviewing its Olympic travel policy. The Japanese Football Association, however, has defended its airborne sexism, stating that the men's soccer team must fly business class because it's stipulated in the players' professional contracts. "The women's game doesn't have those conditions yet," explained a Japanese Football Association media officer. "Also, body size does come into the equation," the official added.
There is hope for Japan's women's team—the Japan Football Association is dangling the possibility of upgrading the players to business class if they take home the gold. After winning last year's World Cup, bringing joy to a country still recovering from the Fukushima disaster, the team was bumped up to business on its return from Germany. "I hope we can produce a good result again and be treated the same way," Sawa said last week.
What would an upgrade from economy to business mean for the Japanese women? According to sample menus from Japan Airlines, a move to business would allow Sawa and her cohort to choose from a "selection of nine seasonal colorful delicacies in 'Kobachi' bowls—exquisite tastes, hues, and freshness of the season." In economy, by contrast, they would pick between hamburger steak and braised chicken. A business upgrade would also include significantly more leg room, a "laptop battery lending service," and a complimentary cardigan.
Even taking into account the appeal of a quality cardigan, this is a strange motivational technique. Is airplane seat status such a big deal in Japan that it would induce the women's soccer team to play even harder than usual? Leave your expert knowledge of Japanese travel culture in the comments.

Levy Falkowitz
One of the BIGGEST voices in Jewish music belongs to a chosid, by the name of Levy Falkowitz. He has been featured on dozens of albums in the last ten years including; Satmer albums, Lchaim Tish, Moshe Roth, Ruvi Banet and more. Most recently he was featured on Shlomo Yehuda Rechnitz's SHIR album as well as the Second Dance II.
Levy first came to people's attention several years ago when he was approached by the talented Freilach band to be their front man, and neither has looked back since. It was around that time that he also became one of the powerful voices of the famed Shira Choir. Performing with these two entities has quickly made Levy a sought out name.
Over the years he has shared the stage with literally almost every name in the business including MBD, Avraham Fried, Lipa and more.
Almost four years ago some buzz started that Levy was finally working on his longly awaited debut album, and people we anxious. Not a month went by when Falkowitz wasn't asked for a release date. His answer was always the same, "When it's ready, you'll know!!"
Well, that time has finally come. Presenting "Achke Loi," the debut album from Levy Falkowitz. This album truly is a work of art in all areas. The album was produced and directed by Avrum Mordche Schwartz with help from Mendy Hershkowitz, Yossi Rubin, Cheskey Brueyer and Yoely Horowitz. One of the reasons why it took Levi's three years, was that he was looking for the most original compositions and arrangements that would help his debut album stand out. He succeeded with that when he worked with an all-star team including composers, Boruch Sholom, Shaya Gross, Yossi Green, Mordechai Yoel Friedman, Pinki Weber, Avrum Mordche Schwartz, Pinny Ostreicher, Anshi Friedman and more. Rounding out the team of arrangers are Mendy Hershkowitz, Yoely Dickman, Chesky Breuer and Avrum Mordche Schwartz.

Synthesis, characterization, and in vitro cell culture viability of degradable poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-5,6-benzo-2-methylene-1,3-dioxepane)- based polymers and crosslinked gels

Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-5,6-benzo-2-methylene-1,3-dioxepane) (poly(NIPAAm-co-BMDO)) was synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Using UV-vis spectroscopy, the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of poly (NIPAAm) and poly(NIPAAm-co-BMDO) copolymers were measured, varying with respect to the amount of incorporated BMDO. This material is degradable and possesses a LCST above room temperature and below body temperature, making it a potential candidate for use as an injectable tissue engineering scaffold to enhance fracture repair. ATRP and RAFT enabled preparation of polymers with control over molecular weight up to Mn = 50,000 g/mol and Mw/Mn < 1.2. Degradation studies were performed in basic solution and in complete Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium. The cytotoxicity of the material and its degradation products were analyzed by in vitro cell culture analyses, including cytotoxicity live/dead and CyQUANT cell proliferation assays. Cross-linked scaffolds with degradable units within the polymer backbone and at the crosslinking sites were prepared using an ester-containing diacrylate crosslinker. Furthermore, incorporation of a GRGDS peptide sequence improved cell attachment to the gels. Controlled/living radical polymerization techniques allow for precise control over macromolecular structure and are poised to become powerful tools for tissue engineering scaffold synthesis.

"What should I do with the tongue?
What should I do with the teeth?
What should I do while I breathe?
What should I do with my lips?
And then another question-is that it?
A theatrical presentation blending live music with movement, based upon the book by Yoram Tarlev. The show looks at the playful, humorous, naïve and beautiful side of reaching maturity.

Народно-республиканское движение (, MRP) — христианско-демократическая партия, существовавшая во Франции в период с 1944 по 1967 год.

История

25–26 ноября 1944 состоялся учредительный съезд, на котором участники Сопротивления, придерживавшиеся идей социального католицизма, основали Народно-республиканское движение, ставшее одной из ведущих партий Четвёртой республики. Партия имела левоцентристскую программу, но значительная часть её электората была более правой и умеренно настроенной и не всегда принимала положения программы партии, но предпочитала за неё голосовать, видя в MRP единственную в послевоенный период силу, способную сдержать коммунистов.

В 1944—1947 партия входила в трёхпартийную правительственную коалицию с социалистами и коммунистами. Лидеры MRP занимали важные посты в большинстве правительств Четвёртой республики, а члены партии Жорж Бидо (в 1946 и 1949—1950), Робер Шуман (в 1947—1948), Пьер Пфлимлен (1958) занимали пост премьер-министра. Партия оказывала влияние на католическое профсоюзное объединение «Французская конфедерация христианских трудящихся», насчитывавшее около 450 тыс. членов.

MRP поддержала установление Пятой республики и во время референдума в сентябре 1958 года заняла позицию в пользу одобрения конституционного проекта. В Пятой республике до мая 1962 представители MRP входили в правительство, затем перешли в оппозицию в связи с несогласием с некоторыми аспектами внешней политики правительства (в частности, MRP выступала за политическую интеграцию стран Западной Европы и тесное сотрудничество с НАТО). На президентских выборах 1965 лидер MRP Ж. Леканюэ набрал в первом туре 15,6 % голосов и занял третье место. В 1966 на основе объединения MRP с Национальным центром независимых и крестьян была создана правоцентристская партия Демократический центр. В 1967 MRP объявила о самороспуске.

Albert held Allen's shoulder as they maneuvered slowly through the snow and ice.
The blizzard had not stopped entirely. Snow still fell in tender white flakes in the darkened blue, black and white, cloudy sky.
In a sense the great expansive white sheath that covered the streets and much of the buildings was brilliantly beautiful in spite of a rather stark cold thermometer indication.
Occasionally an icy wind would blow threw the heavy clothing they wore pulling the accumulated heat from about their bodies.
"Where are we going Albert?"
"Allen they've started the Hate therapy in this town yesterday. You know how I thought it would be the best thing for the country."
"You've been talking about that for seventy years now."
"I told you something was wrong with my watch."
They were joking to keep each other amused and to keep their hearts pumping that warm blood through out their systems and it was fortunate, for the snow made the distance quite a struggle.
"They're serving an introductory free lunch so you won't be the only uninterested party. It's vegetarian."
As the two arrived they passed two ladies leaving who made a great fuss that Allen reminded them of some actor fellow they recognized. They wanted to know if they used real drugs in the movie. Allen secured them with the understanding it wasn't him. He assured that they never used real drugs in movies or in real life. He said, the whole drug thing was a media creation and if the young ladies had their tour about the program and were truly leaving they'd be smart to hurry on their way because teatime was soon approaching.
"Do allot of people ask you those things Al?"
"Why yes ... Is it noticeable?" Allen answered removing his outerwear and boots.
"Nice looking young ladies." Albert felt compelled to comment.
It turned out the Hate group that they'd encountered was a social meet group that offered free lunches and conducted seminars designed to vent gripes. The gripe time offered follow through on all legitimate gripes and reduced community tensions in that manner. Hence there was the referencing it as a Hate therapy group by locals.
Albert was overjoyed and many communities shared his sentiment.
There were some books distributed including the Foundation Religious texts of B. Toad a late twentieth early twenty-first century writer who was often driven, by organized repression, into desperate pain, insecurity and ultimately dramatic and often costly expressions of Hate in his life. The religious works were his answers and consolations.
Many new and old religious symbols of Religions from the beginning of time to the present hung upon the walls.
Vokt's Interpretations of the Toad were sold at the gift counter with the lightning symbols that signified the anti-Hate organization.
The vegetarian lunch was a great Idea and as result of its non-meat quality the representatives of Hari Krishna, the Muslim church and the orthodox Hebrew faith had come to the meeting. Dr. Vokt was going to speak on the Ethics of Morality after the lunch.
As they could see after they arrived, it was an Interactive C.D. version, of the illustrious professor that was making its appearance and answering questions. The Hari Krishna's were amazed, the Hebrews a bit put off by the mechanization perhaps and the Muslims thought it was impersonal but sat to listen since they weren't serving pig.
"You're right champ. These ladies are nice." "Allen commented, to his friend while being served a paper plate with an Indian curried vegetables and rice dish resplendent with a side of Dal and pita bread."
Allen still felt somewhat like a pool of water floating in the empty vastness of outer space. Sounds jellied together in his interpretive functions, grouped together, leaked out of his head through crevices in his skull and spilled as fluids draining from his ears. The fluids emerging in that manner from his head restored a sense of peace to his system.
They'd left there outside clothing by the door, in a closet established for the purpose. Their Shoes and Glosses, left among a large number of others, were secure due to the virtuous behavior of Canadians who would rarely steal.
"Krishna described karma as derived from activity that is evil."
Consciousness Society that clarified the ancient text, who significantly made clear, it was certain action, not essential to our collective well being that was believed evil.
"In 1985 the Toad made an aborted attempt to start a magazine entitled HATE in order to vent the nation's hatred and develop a staff of diplomatic individuals who with time would be specialists in the area of hate therapy.
"It wasn't till 2008 that this particular concept of B. Toad's convolved in the collective mind, becoming clear to a significant population of persons.
"Dr. Winona Ledbetter, a clinical Psychiatrist in Seattle and Felix Amire, an associate Professor at Columbia University, many miles from one another, were on an inter net discussion on the admirable qualities of the late TOAD. They spoke of the discovered old applications for a fictitious name the Toad had filed in San Diego California.
"Exploring references in other manuscripts as to the purposes of the Toads work, they decided once again that the Toad had been years ahead of the national conscience and science in the area.
"Of course we are familiar with Master B. Toad's rejection of the words and their concepts of Evil and Guilt. We are aware that rarely did he use the words or even the word good much. He referred to actions and deeds as being weak or strong. He reminded us the Messiah, according to Milton, aside from bringing forgiveness for mankind, would remove Satanism and Evil from the world.
"References apparently conclude that the Toad attributed the origination of this particular idea to a pair of unacquainted friends who apparently both suggested the idea in different ways.
"Curiously one of these associates lived in Canada. He had moved here after extensive therapeutic use of L.S.D. in Brooklyn N.Y. during the nineteen sixties where the drug proved highly successful in curing psychosis and extreme despondence in certain members of the community. In fact that was where the pair met. The other friend a fraternity brother from High School reportedly died when engaged in advanced studies in anthropology, of a heroin overdose.
"Though the friends only shared ideas and conversation for a relatively short expanse of time the Hate therapy idea stuck in B. Toads mind.
"Though 'still born', Hate therapy, embodied in the motivation for HATE magazine, once more was championed by Dr.'s Ledbetter and Amire."
Albert and Allen a farmer and a movie star sat in a large street level auditorium with a blizzard beyond the walls and doors, eating vegetarian food, listening to an interactive Dr. Vokt machine speak about the evolution of the hate therapy movement in the Foundation Church.
There was a holy vegetarian Indian dinner served with no meat in it as they watched the hologram speak and responded to questions about the works of B. Toad.
Alan said, "Wow". Albert smiled.
Alan was very quiet. He had floated to a seat and sat crossed legged at a service space, on a raised platform that ran along the side of the room.
As Albert moved toward the platform he noticed that other people were eating Hindu food from paper plates at their service spaces.
"B. Toad claimed his so-called metaphysical theories should actually be considered physics." Dr. Vokt, the hologram spoke.
HATE and those Genii-us the old, Master B. Toad started to take on Messiah like proportions in Albert's mind as he listened from his serving space.
He picked up some leaflets and started reading some of the history the hologram reiterated.
A young attractive Canadian lady brought the first pot of food. She ladled that into the paper plates she laid upon the serving table before the serving space.
It was the traditional offering dish of the Krishna faith.
Other waiting persons followed each bringing a dish of rice or sauce or bread or drink.
They left before 11 PM. Albert thought it was too late for the children, to bring Alan home. He walked Alan to his boarding house. He promised Alan the next day that he could come over and see Charlene and the kids. He wrote out directions so Alan would know how he would get to Albert's house in the morning when he woke. Then Albert went home.

10 All-American Summer Vacations
Summer at the Jersey Shore, roller coasters at Disney World or a roadtrip on old Route 66 – what could better describe Americana? There are few things as iconic as an all-American summer vacation. The sun comes out, school lets out and certain destinations become ripe for exploration. If you want a classic American getaway this summer, check out the below ten trips.
Route 66 Road Trip

As one of America's first highways and its most important route west during the Dust Bowl and Great Depression, Route 66 became an American icon. Built in 1926, "The Main Street of America" was designed to be the country's first year-round intercontinental highway, connecting Chicago to Los Angeles via eight states. Though it met its downfall with the establishment of the Interstate Highway System in 1956, Route 66 still remains an American tradition and one of its most popular travel destinations.
Famous stops along Route 66 include Lou Mitchell's restaurant and Dell Rhea's Chicken Basket in Chicago, Illinois; Rock Fountain Court in Springfield, Missouri; 66 Drive In in Carthage, Missouri; and countless other places.
Camp in America's National Parks

There are 61 National Parks in U.S. National Park System, each showcasing a unique corner of America's natural beauty. if you want a seriously epic trip, take some time this summer to hike, bike and camp your way through a few national parks. Maybe you'll stick to the parks of Utah and hit up Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, Capitol Reef, and Canyonlands. Or maybe you'll set across the midwest exploring Yellowstone and Grand Teton. The choice is yours.
Visit Washington, D.C.

An all-American summer vacation list wouldn't be complete without a trip to Washington, D.C. Visiting the Nation's Capital is more than a destination – it's an experience. You're passing history at almost every corner. Tourists and locals alike love the National Mall for its plentiful events and central location. It's the place to be in D.C. From the National Mall, you're within walking distance of the U.S. Capitol Building, Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Air & Space Museum, Natural History Museum, American History Museum, National Archives and Ford's Theater. The White House complex is about a 20-minute walk northwest.
Be a Part of It in New York, New York

There's nothing like summer in The City That Never Sleeps. While you may sweat out your body weight in a single day, it's worth it to get a taste of Midtown on a hot summer night. Stop by Ella's Stardust Diner to see the next big star off Broadway. Take in the lights and energy of Times Square before skipping over to Rockefeller Center. During the day, you can take a break from melting by relaxing in the shade of Central Park or enjoying one of the endless museums Manhattan has to offer.
To replenish your salt levels, head to Lower Manhattan's Little Italy and partake in all the pasta your heart desires. Visit the Italian American Museum while you're there – the world's coolest cat, Mossimo, will greet you at the door. If that's not enough to cure your wanderlust, the World Trade Center and 9/11 Memorial, Battery Park, Wall Street and the Financial District and Ellis Island are all just a short distance away.
Reach for the Stars in Disney World and the Space Coast

Lighthouses give us insight into the history and culture surrounding them, so it's no surprise that America is home to several stunning lighthouses. In New England, the Boston Light, built in 1716, is the oldest lighthouse in the United States. The Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse in Annapolis, Maryland, is the only screwpile lighthouse in the Chesapeake Bay. The tallest lighthouse in Florida and one of the tallest in the United States, the Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse, is recognizable by its brilliant red color. The Lorain Lighthouse, the Jewel of the Port, in Lorain, Ohio, has been featured in many postcards and paintings. Diamondhead Lighthouse rests alongside the famous volcano of the same name, looking out over the Pacific Ocean.
Travel Back to the Wild West in Tombstone, Arizona

Arguably America's most infamous Old West town, Tombstone, Arizona, is the perfect place to see what life was like during the days of the Wild West. Home of the O.K. Corral, location of one of the most notorious gunfights, Tombstone was dubbed "The Town Too Tough to Die" and with good reason. Live reenactments of the shootout are still a main attraction. The possibly haunted and always fascinating Bird Cage Theater is also still standing in Tombstone and is the location of the world's longest poker game. Check out the bullet holes in the walls – shootouts in saloons were common.
Sunbathe on America's Best Beaches

Army accused of covering up war crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq
Army boots
The Government and the Army have been accused of covering up the killing of children in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Leaked documents allegedly contain evidence implicating British troops in killing children and the torture of civilians.
A BBC/Sunday Times investigation said it had obtained new evidence from inside the Iraq Historic Allegations Team (IHAT), which investigated alleged war crimes committed by British soldiers in Iraq, and Operation Northmoor, which investigated alleged war crimes in Afghanistan.
The Government closed IHAT and Operation Northmoor in 2017, after Phil Shiner, a solicitor who had taken more than 1,000 cases to IHAT, was struck off from practising law amid allegations he had paid people in Iraq to find clients.
But some former IHAT and Operation Northmoor investigators said Mr Shiner's actions were used as an excuse to close down the inquiries.
No case investigated by IHAT or Operation Northmoor has led to a prosecution.
An IHAT detective told Panorama: "The Ministry of Defence had no intention of prosecuting any soldier of whatever rank he was unless it was absolutely necessary, and they couldn't wriggle their way out of it."
The year-long investigation claims to have found evidence of murders by an SAS soldier, as well as deaths in custody, beatings, torture and sexual abuse of detainees by members of the Black Watch.
A senior SAS commander was referred to prosecutors for attempting to pervert the course of justice, the investigation claims.
Contacted by the PA news agency, a Ministry of Defence (MoD) spokesman said: "Allegations that the MoD interfered with investigations or prosecution decisions relating to the conduct of UK forces in Iraq and Afghanistan are untrue.
"Throughout the process the decisions of prosecutors and the investigators have been independent of the MoD and involved external oversight and legal advice."
The MoD said cases were referred to the independent Service Prosecuting Authority (SPA) as a result of investigations in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
"Cases from Iraq were referred as a result of historic investigations. It is untrue to claim cases investigated under Operation Northmoor in Afghanistan were not acted upon. After careful investigation, overseen by a former chief constable, no Northmoor cases were referred to prosecutors," the spokesman said.
The MoD also said Service Police undertook extensive investigations into allegations about the conduct of UK forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, and that the SPA decided not to prosecute any of the cases referred to it.
The spokesman said: "Our military served with great courage and professionalism in Iraq and Afghanistan and we hold them to the highest standards. It is Government policy that military operations are conducted in accordance with the Law of Armed Conflict and where allegations are raised, they are investigated.
"The Sunday Times' claims have been passed to the Service Police and the Service Prosecuting Authority who remain open to considering allegations."
Rachel Logan, of Amnesty International UK, described the reports as "deeply troubling", adding: "If true, those responsible for sanctioning and carrying out torture and other war crimes, at all levels, must be held accountable and where appropriate, prosecuted."
Meanwhile Hilary Meredith, of Hilary Meredith Solicitors which handles compensation claims for injured military personnel, dismissed the allegations as "flawed, baseless and biased" and as an "ongoing witch-hunt against our brave servicemen and women".
– Panorama: War Crimes Scandal Exposed will air on BBC One at 9pm on Monday November 18.

i mentioned recently that i've been trying to incorporate an hour or so of reading into my daily routine; slowing down, settling in on the sofa and unwinding with a good literary novel.
it's becoming an essential component of my evening downtime as i get myself ready for bed, and as a result am already finding myself sleeping far more restfully than i had before.
all of these beautiful lounge chairs are from luxury high street retailer camerich, whose designer furniture collection offers an array of quality pieces for modern lifestyles, with contemporary shapes and sleek, minimal aesthetic perfect for my new abode. while i'm naturally drawn to the delicate proportions and slim-line silhouettes of the flora and noble designs, it is the wide-set armrests of the quirkily named moodie – perfect for resting a cup of peppermint tea down whilst turning the pages of your novel – that makes this armchair the current front-runner in my hunt for the perfect reading chair for my bedroom. that said, if i had the space i'm sure i'd opt for the fabulous reclining design of the arc low-backed lounge chair, with its sleek geometrics and delicate piping offering a modern take on a classic daybed.
i feel the low boxy design of the moodie armchair, reminiscent of contemporary asian design, would be a natural fit alongside my low-level platform bed and japanese zen inspired bedroom décor. since my bedroom has a casual lived-in feel to its styling i've been thinking how i might style the moodie lounge chair so it best suits the space. i think i'd likely opt for upholstery in a tactile almond hue paired with a light oak base, and accessorise with a boho mudcloth cushion, soft moss green throw and a chunky terracotta mug for my bedtime brew..
do you have a reading corner in your bedroom, or elsewhere in your home? if so, what type of armchair have you opted for and how have you styled things up?
this post has been written in collaboration with camerich, but as always all thoughts and opinions are my own.
I always had a place to read. Learned this from my mother who was reading before bed! And I had a favorite chair for almost 20 years. Love your selection here. Inspired!
What fantastic options. I really like number 4, it looks so cosy. I don't have a reading corner at the moment, but as soon as my youngest goes into her own room I will have. I can't wait. I got my mum to reupholster my nursing chair in a designer fabric to match the colour pallet of my bedroom. It's such a cosy chair I just couldn't part with it.
I also love Nr 3, really charming. Wonderful, inspiring report with fine fotos.

La «nera» di Dino Buzzati è una raccolta postuma degli articoli di cronaca nera scritti dal giornalista Dino Buzzati (1906-1972) sul Corriere della Sera e sul Corriere d'Informazione durante la sua carriera, dal 1929 al 1971. Ordinata cronologicamente, l'opera raccolta è stata pubblicata nel 2002 in due volumi per l'editore Mondadori: il primo volume, titolato Crimini e misteri, è dedicato alla cronaca nera più classica - omicidi, suicidi, misteri, rapine - il secondo volume, col titolo Incubi, alla cronaca di incidenti e tragedie.
