By Michael W. Myers
Concerning the Allies' victory within the Pacific in WWII, it is going virtually with out query that Japan's defeat was once inevitable within the face of overwhelming American army may possibly and financial strength. however the end result, Michael W. Myers contends, was once truly something yet inevitable. This e-book is Myers's thorough and deeply proficient rationalization of the way contingent the "foregone conclusion" of the warfare within the Pacific particularly used to be.
However disproportionate their respective assets, either Japan and the Allied forces faced major stumbling blocks to final victory. One the 2 facets shared, Myers indicates, was once the shortcoming of a unmarried person with the information, imaginative and prescient, and authority to formulate and enforce powerful process. either exercised management by means of committee, and Myers cogently explains how this contributed to the contingent nature of the clash. A awesome workout in logical equipment of strategic considering, his e-book analyzes decisive campaigns within the Pacific battle, analyzing the industrial and strategic demanding situations that each side confronted and needed to triumph over to accomplish victory. Japan, for example, had targets going into the battle: to extend the limits of what they termed the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" and to finish their lengthy and problematical battle in China. those ambitions, as Myers indicates us, had unexpected and devastating logistical and strategic results. however the usa confronted related problems--as good as different hurdles particular to a state now not but on complete battle footing.
Overturning traditional historiography, The Pacific struggle and Contingent Victory clarifies the correct courting among freedom and determinism in historic pondering. A compelling retelling of the Pacific warfare that will simply were, the ebook bargains historic classes in considering modern American overseas coverage and American exceptionalism--most saliently concerning the risks of the presumption of yankee ascendancy.

They chose other bases in more hospitable climes, but the Aleutians remained of potential strategic importance for much of the war. The Japanese occupied two of the islands, Attu and Kiska, as an adjunct to their Midway operation. The Japanese thus faced a number of complex possibilities at the end of Stage One operations. The War History Series explains these possibilities in terms of the choices that the Japanese war leadership faced. The difficult decisions were made in a spirit of detachment and consensus, although decisive leadership from the top was lacking.
The story of the war of attrition in the air is a complex tale of the interplay of men, machines, doctrines, and tactics. The Allies had an advantage from the beginning in their machines in the form of robust medium and heavy bombers, and later in their fighters as well. The Japanese used their Mitsubishi G4M Type 1 "Betty" land-based attack planes in roles similar to the Allied B-26 and B-25 medium bombers, and their Kawanishi H6K Type 97 "Mavis" flying boats like the Allied B-17 and B24 heavy bombers.
Evidence for Yamamoto's offensive plan may be found in the various compromises that form the historical picture of the war as it unfolded. These include the Pearl Harbor air strike, the Midway operation, and the plans to invade Oahu and other key objectives in the Hawaiian Islands. The key to understanding the strategic plan is to acknowledge that Yamamoto recognized that the United States was the most dangerous enemy that Japan faced at the end of 1941, and that he understood that the best way to come to terms with the United States in all its real and potential force at that time was by negotiating an end to the war through a position of relative strength.

The NCAA has made major changes to the way college basketball will deal with issues plaguing the sport. The organization's recommended changes blindsided the NBA and USA Basketball organization. In tennis Rafael Nadal sweeps past Frenchman Benoit Paire, defeating him in straight sets 6-2, 6-3. Over in soccer, the English Premier League transfer period ends with Chelsea losing 2018 Fifa World Cup best goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois to Real Madrid. RT's Steve Christakos reports.


The pollaxe was a two-handed infantry weapon designed to hack, crush, and pierce armour plates, as well as flesh and bone. It combined the reach of a staff weapon with the crushing capabilities of the axe.
The pollaxe developed in the late-14th century. It was mentioned by Chaucer in the 1380s in his book, The Knight's Tale.
The name pollaxe probably derives from the old English poll, meaning head, and has nothing to do with the wooden pole or stave on which the head is mounted.
The distinctive head of the pollaxe was made up of three elements: an axe-blade, an opposing rear hammerhead (which could be flat or cusped), and a top-spike. It would have been fastened to a long wooden haft.
Aristocrats and officers used the pollaxe, not only on the battlefield but also in the tournament. Thomas Montague (fourth Earl of Salisbury), who fought at the Battle of Agincourt, is depicted in a contemporary illustration carrying a pollaxe.
Some were highly decorated to demonstrate the elevated status of the carrier.
As the pollaxe head was made up of three parts, the weapon was multi-purpose. The axe blade could deliver cutting blows, the rear hammerhead crushing ones, and the top-spike could deliver penetrating thrusts.
The haft often had two disc-shaped hand-guards, and the end of the haft also may have had a spike; this meant that both ends of the weapon could be used in combat.

Home > Why Visit Sri Lanka for a Tailor-Made Holiday? > History and People of Sri Lanka > History of Sri Lanka
In its ancient atmosphere and last but not least the hospitable people. Over the last centuries this island was known of its many names – Lanka, Ceylon, Serendib, Tabrobane and many more. The history of Sri Lanka lies buried in its fertile sands and hidden treasures. An island nation with a history so rich and termed as the pearl of the Indian Ocean.
Pre History of Sri Lanka
Recorded history of Sri Lanka began twenty five centuries ago and its pre-history goes back to the Indian epic "The Ramayana".
The archaeological discovery of human colonization in Sri Lanka appears at the site of Balangoda. These Balangoda people arrived on the island about 34,000 years ago and are identified as Mesolithic hunter gatherers who lived in caves. These natural caves are rich in remains of prehistoric culture. There are several of these caves including the well known Batadomba-lena, the oldest Fa Hien-lena and Beli-lena.
The Sandakelum people probably created Horton Plains, in the central hills, by burning the trees in order to catch game. However, the important evidence of cultivation of oats and barley, at about 15,000 BC suggests that agriculture had already developed at this early date.
Archaeological evidence for Iron Age in Sri Lanka is found at Anuradhapura citadel, where artifacts belonging to the early Iron Age have been found re-excavation, 900 BC.
There is evidence of pottery that has been found at Anuradhapura, bearing Brahmi script and non-Brahmi writing, dating back to 600 BC.
Ancient History of Sri Lanka
Around 500 BC, Sri Lankans archaeological phase developed a unique civilization. And its achievements included cities, palaces, reservoirs, parks, temples, monasteries, monuments and works of art bore testament to the character, imagination, culture, philosophy and faith of the people of Sri Lanka.
Indo-Aryan people emigrated from India, around 400 BC, and mixed with the Hela people and later Buddhism was established to create Sinhalese culture in Sri Lanka.
The famous chronicles of Sri Lanka, the Mahawamsa ("Great Chronicle"), Dipavamsa, Culavamsa ("Little Chronicle") and Rajaveliya provide an exceptional record of Sri Lankan history.
The Mahawamsa is a chronicle compiled in Pali, according to this Chronicle Vijaya landed on Sri Lanka near Mahathitha (Mannar) and named the Island "Thambaparni" (copper-colored palms).
Lord Buddha visited Sri Lanka three times. When he visited Sri Lanka for the 3rd time, he placed his foot mark on Siripada (Adam's Peak).
Colonial History of Sri Lanka
The first Europeans to visit Sri Lanka were the Portuguese who arrived in 1505. They founded a fort at the port city of Colombo in 1517 and extended their control over the coastal areas and forced the lowland Sinhalese to convert to Christianity. In 1592 the Sinhalese moved their capital to the inland city of Kandy, a location more secure against attack from invaders.
In 1602, when the Dutch captain landed in Sri Lanka, the king of Kandy appealed to him for help. By 1660 the Dutch controlled the whole Island except the kingdom of Kandy. A mixed Dutch-Sinhalese people are known as Burgher people and they are the legacy of Dutch rule in Sri Lanka.
In 1802, the Dutch part of the Island was officially ceded to Britain, and became a crown colony. In 1803 the British invaded the Kingdom of Kandy in the 1st Kandyan War. The 2nd Kandyan War in 1815 finally ended with independence to Sri Lanka in 1948.
The invaders imposed their religion, language, customs, dress, food and their culture on the people in the Island.

'She possessed her own fortune': Women investors from the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century
Maltby, J. and Rutterford, J. (2006) 'She possessed her own fortune': Women investors from the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century. Business History, 48 (2). pp. 220-253. ISSN 0007-6791
There is a growing literature on the history of investment in Britain. However, the role played by women as investors has been almost wholly ignored. This paper argues that women were an important class of stock market investors and produces empirical evidence, most notably share registers, to show that women engaged in a number of different types of investment, and were important in both public and private companies as long-term holders of securities in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The article concludes by suggesting the impact of these findings on our understanding of women's financial position and of their role in corporate governance.

Trump says Pence 'mortally wounded' in GOP because of actions on Jan. 6
by Sarakshi Rai - 12/14/21 4:10 PM ET
Former President Trump said this weekend that former Vice President Mike Pence has been "mortally wounded" by allowing the congressional certification of the 2020 election results.
"I was disappointed in one thing, but it was a big thing," Trump said during a ticketed event in Sunrise, Fla., on Saturday, according to CNN.
"Mike should have sent those crooked votes back to the legislatures and you would have had a different result in the election, in my opinion," the former president told the audience at the stop on Bill O'Reilly's "History Tour."
Trump implied that Pence wouldn't get support from voters because of his alleged inaction on Jan. 6.
"I think Mike has been very badly hurt by what took place in respect to January 6. I think he's been mortally wounded, frankly, because I see the reaction he's getting from people," Trump added, per CNN.
Pence has recently fueled speculation about a 2024 presidential run, making several campaign-style stops in the crucial primary state of New Hampshire.
Pence affirmed the 2020 election results despite calls from Trump and his supporters to block the certification. Pence has repeatedly stated that he did not have the constitutional authority to reject or return state-certified electoral votes.
During the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, some rioters were heard chanting, "Hang Mike Pence," for his role in certifying President Biden's win. Pence was removed from the Senate soon after the Capitol was breached.
Pence said in December that he believes he "did the right thing" when he certified the results of the 2020 presidential election in January.
Pence did not immediately respond to The Hill's request for comment.
Trump did not answer on Saturday when asked by O'Reilly if he would pick Pence as his running mate if he were to run in 2024.
"I don't love this question because there are a lot of them," Trump said, suggesting that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) "would be good" as well.

A judge in Leeds, England, has dismissed a shale-gas related case involving Ineos, brought by a community anti-fracking group Harthill Against Fracking seeking to overturn a UK national planning inspector's decision to approve test drilling in Rotherham, Yorkshire.
Harthill Against Fracking (HAF) brought the statutory challenge against the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government over a 2018 decision of the planning inspectorate last year, charging that the permit was issued too hastily.
The Rotherham Council had initially decided to reject the chemical producer's application on transport and ecology grounds, but was overruled by the national authority.
As granted, the application provides temporary permission for a maximum of five years; the operation will involve various site investigation surveys and site preparation before a period of drilling, coring and testing.
Both HAF and Rotherham complained that the time allowed for the council and fracking opponents to review an updated traffic plan prepared for Ineos by consultants AECOM was insufficient to obtain alternative guidance. Therefore, they said, the planning inspector acted in breach of the rules of natural justice.
Ineos argued that, although the AECOM report was 140 pages long, there were only nine pages of operative text describing the changes in the enhanced traffic management plan. In dismissing the case, the judge said the shale opponents had not been deprived of a reasonable opportunity to challenge Ineos, as there was no procedural unfairness and no material prejudice.

News: Neillsville - New Business (Mar 2019)
Surnames: Egland, Cook
----Source: Clark County Press (Neillsville, Clark Co., WI) 3/13/2019
'New Beginnings' For Neillsville Business this Sat. (Holistic Healings – 2019)

By Valerie Brecht
Even as her business is beginning, Nicole Egland is hoping to inspire new beginnings in other people's lives.
New Beginnings Holistic Healing is at 538 Hewett Street, Neillsville. The grand opening and ribbon cutting will be this Saturday, March 16 at 9:30 a.m.
New Beginnings offers Reiki, yoga, meditation, home blessings, wedding ceremonies and other services. Egland also sells natural beauty and cleaning products as part of her business.
New Beginnings opened at the current location in February 2018.
"It was a very slow, very soft open," said Egland.
At first she just offered Reiki services to family and friends. She also had a free Reiki day for the community one Sunday a month. In the fall, she started to advertise more for her business. This year, she expanded into offering products.
"Last year was all about promotion; 2019 has been all about the full-fledged business," she said.
Egland said a good part of last year was spent educating people on what Reiki is. Reiki is an ancient Japanese technique for stress reduction that is administered by the laying of hands. Egland said that Reiki is a healing art and is about re-balancing the energy found in the body's seven energy centers, known as chakras.
"Throughout the course of our lives, our chakras can become unbalanced, and when you do a Reiki session, it re-balances out those energy centers and basically relieves you of your emotional buildup.
"Most commonly, my clients, when they leave, say they feel like a blank slate – like a positive blank slate. Reiki releases all of that stress that you carry, and you just feel completely relieved of everything," Egland said.
Reiki is often put under the category of massage therapy, although that's not what it is, said Egland. It does cause people to enter a theta state, which is a deep meditative state like a person would experience right before going to sleep.
Egland said Reiki is an experience that is hard to describe unless a person experiences it.
"It's a spiritual experience – it's not tied to a certain religion," said Egland. "With Reiki, you don't have to be a special person, so to speak."
Egland heard about Reiki through her friend Dawnette Cook of the Valhalla, Haven of Healing LLC in Osseo. She completed the three Reiki "attunements" necessary to becoming a Reiki master in 2017. The practice of Reiki is passed down from master to student.
Along with Reiki, New Beginnings also offers guided meditation and Biomat sessions, among other services. The Biomat is a pad that lies on top of a massage table and contains amethyst and tourmaline crystals. It converts electricity into far infrared rays and negative ions and the crystals serve as the conductor to the body.
"Unlike a heating pad where that heats you from the outside in, the Biomat heats you from the inside out, and that has a lot of health benefits – it reduces inflammation, it can help release the buildup of toxins within your body [and] people have reduction of pain," Egland said.
The Biomat raises the body temperature of the user. By raising the body temperature at least 1.2 degrees, there are benefits to one's immune system.
"Many others and I describe it as a nice warm hug on the inside," she said.
Along with the services Egland provides, she also offers a variety of natural products. She said the store part of her business developed after she started being more conscientious of the products she was buying for her and her family in the last two-and-a-half years.
"I was quite appalled by the cancer-causing ingredients that are found in your shampoos, your makeup, everything that you're using in your life," she said. "The negative impact that they're having on people's lives – if you think about the amount of illness that's out there compared to years ago it just was amazing. … I wanted to be able to offer healthier products to our community and it really fit in with what my mission was down here which was helping people and helping them live their best lives and finding themselves."
Her store offers chemical-free makeup, baby products, a men's care line, deodorants, body wash, shampoos, hair products, bug spray, sunscreens and other personal care products. She also sells jewelry, crystals, essential oils and natural cleaning products.
Egland says she tries every product herself to ensure it's something she wants on her shelves.
She currently has limited hours on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays but is planning on expanding store hours. People may also order items online through the store's website and pick them up in-store. Egland also delivers orders in Neillsville.
Egland is happy to not only offer products that people can use, but also, through her business, to create a comfortable space for people to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
"It's just a wonderful, relaxing space. People always comment on how relaxing it is. It's just its own little world in here. It's my own peaceful, no-judgment zone. It's awesome," she said.
For more information on Reiki or on 'New Beginnings' products, call or text Egland at 715.937.3708 or visit the business website or Facebook page.
Egland was born and raised in Neillsville. After living in Nekoosa and Wisconsin Rapids, she returned to Neillsville in 2015. Her husband is Josh and she has two children, Traeden, 9 and Gabriel, 7.

Multi-storey buildings come up in Barog's non-planning area
No authority has power to sanction construction in such areas, court told
Ambika Sharma
Solan, January 25
The absence of regulatory control over six-km area lying between Kheel Jhalsi village to Kainthari and Koro villages near Barog has led to the construction of multi-storey buildings ranging from four to nine storeys.
The state government has not only failed to control the haphazard and indiscriminate development activities in the area but the principle of sustainable development and precautionary principle to prevent risk to the humans and environment has not been adhered to.
The state high court pointed this on January 13 while hearing a public interest litigation on haphazard buildings erected near Barog, unmindful of their ecological strata and environmental implications.
No authority is vested with the powers to sanction construction of buildings in the non-planning areas, stated the state government in its reply to the court.
"A building height that does not take into account the slope stability and sub-soil conditions, would be unsafe. Clearing hills and erecting buildings over the slopes have created an extremely vulnerable environment in the state," pointed the court.
The court, while taking a stern view of this stand, directed the Director, Town and Country Planning (TCP) Department, to prepare regional plans mapping existing land use for regulating constructions. Though the TCP Department is supposed to bring the area under its purview where reckless construction activity is seen, areas like Koro Kainththri and Kheel Jhalsi have been blatantly ignored for the last several years.
The government failed to act even after 14 persons had lost their lives when an eatery collapsed near Kumarhatti in 2019. Though a 13-member committee, which probed the mishap, had recommended a slew of regulatory measures to avert such mishaps, they remained confined to files.
It had advocated the need to monitor the quality of construction in panchayats besides checking constructions along the highways to avoid repeat of such incidents. Citing rules followed in Haryana, it had also recommended restriction on ribbon development, which is the unorganised development taking place in a linear pattern along a road.
Realtors have been exploring the chinks in the system to erect multi-storey buildings outside the planning areas in the precincts of Kasauli. Hotels lacking parking facilities having seven to eight storeys have come up by chopping hundreds of trees and clearing hilly slopes having more than 45% gradient in sensitive areas on the Chabal-Kasauli, Dharampur-Kasauli and Sukki Jori-Sanawar roads.

We monitor our competitors on a weekly basis so that we know that we are continually offering the best price for our paintings and we still maintain our very high quality - some of our competitors charge more than 3 times the cost that we do!
There is an adage that, 'you get what you pay for', and 'buy cheap, buy twice'. We do not think we are cheap, we think we offer an extremely competitive price that cannot be beaten. Given the amount of work that is involved in creating a stunning and beautiful original oil painting, (which takes between 2 and 3 weeks to complete) we hope you agree that the price is excellent value.
Why not email us your photo today, and we will get back to you with an accurate quote, and a realistic mock-up of how your painting will look!

I don't know about where you live, but in New England, we've had a lot of storms this summer. Thankfully, we haven't lost power. But we've been stuck inside quite a bit. That means there's been lots of time to sew! So much time, in fact, I'm out of projects! Horrors! Has that ever happened to you? It's left me feeling a bit adrift. There's another storm going on as I write this and I'm looking at my sewing machine with desire and my heart and no idea what to make. Even my scrap stash is pretty depleted. Boo! So, I'm going to read sewing themed books and mysteries instead! Here's some of my favorites!
Main character, Victoria "Tori" Sinclair is a transplant to Sweet Briar, SC. She joins the sewing circle and takes a job as head library. The series currently runs to 12 books and it's highly likely that author Elizabeth Lynn Casey will keep them coming! With all the storms we've been having, I can curl up with a cup of tea and finish all 12 books this summer!
Texas hospitality, a haunted dress shop and a Manhattan fashion designer. All the elements of a great story! Book six of this series by Melissa Bourbon was released in 2015. Hopefully the rain will stop and I won't be completely done with the series before she releases the next one!
No sewing project is complete without the perfect notions. Turns out, no sewing mystery series is complete without them either! Cate Price weaves tales of Daisy and her husband Joe living in Pennsylvania. Joe renovates their house while Daisy has found her calling working at a quaint shop that sells sewing bits and bobs, antiques and jewelry. Book number three was released in 2015. With the rain raging, I might get through all of these just this week!
At least by reading about sewing I won't feel like my sewing machine is missing me too much! What are some of your favorite sewing themed books?

1864 'base ball' Reenactment in Atlantic Highlands
Children Friendly Event & Site
Monmouth Furnace, the Jersey Shore's team in the Mid-Atlantic Vintage Base Ball League, will play the Elizabeth Resolutes on Saturday under the official rules of 1864.
The historically accurate contest will take place at Fireman's Field, West Highland Avenue at Avenue B in Atlantic Highlands. Admission will be free.
Following pre-game festivities, the "gentlemanly sporting match" will start at 11 a.m. The old-time ball game is sponsored by the Atlantic Highlands Historical Society.
The players will be swinging wood bats at underhand pitches, and there will a lot of bare-handed catches -- because the sport did not allow gloves 154 years ago.
The name of the national pastime was two words in 1864 – "base ball." The team names are historic, too. Monmouth Furnace was the original name of the 19th-century Allaire Iron Works, now a restored Wall Township village, where that team started. The Elizabeth club's name pays tribute to New Jersey's lone major-league team, which lasted only one season in 1873.
In fact, the birthplace of baseball was New Jersey. The first competitive game was played in 1845 in Hoboken (not in Cooperstown, New York, where the Hall of Fame is located).
"Our quirky but fast-paced games re-enact the roots of modern baseball," explained Russ McIver, captain of the Monmouth Furnace team. "We play exhibition contests and serious matches against league rivals on weekends, and we're always looking for more players who want to have good old-fashioned fun."
More information is available from McIver at 732-859-7643 or furnace@monmouth.com.

Summer at the Jersey Shore Exhibition
The months of June through August mean a time of sun, fun, and outdoor activities at the Jersey Shore. Monmouth County Historical Association now features an exhibition that captures some of the various pastimes that were offered to visitors years ago during the summer season. Summer at the Jersey Shore will remain on view through September 2018. Museum hours are Tuesdays - Saturdays 10:00 am - 4:00 pm.
Paintings, prints, and drawings dating from 1850 to 1940 illustrate such things as horse racing, sun and sea bathing, sport fishing, casino gambling, preaching on the beach, steamboats that served the shore, and shore landscapes. Artists represented include Alfred T. Bricher, George C. Lambdin, Winslow Homer, August Kollner, John W. Alexander, Theodore R. Davis of Asbury Park, and Michel Jacobs of Rumson. Scenes depict activities at Sea Bright, Long Branch, Monmouth Park, Asbury Park, Ocean Grove, Manasquan, and Cape May. Souvenirs displayed from Asbury Park, Ocean Grove, and Red Bank displays the types of mementos that shore visitors could purchase as a token of their summertime experience, either as a day-tripper or as an extended stay guest at one of the many hotels and boarding houses available in New Jersey's coastal communities.
In many respects, shore visitors of the twenty-first century can take advantage of the same range of activities as those who enjoyed the area's attractions in the nineteenth century, with a large gap in between. In 1894, New Jersey outlawed horse racing and gambling. In the intervening years, they have been restored. Horse racing returned to a new Monmouth Park in 1946, casino gambling to Atlantic City in 1976, and Governor Murphy placed the first bet under the new sports betting law at Monmouth Park on June 13. The sun, sandy beaches, saltwater fishing, social life, and easy access from Philadelphia or New York continue to draw thousands of visitors to the Jersey Shore each year.

Over There, Over Here: New Jersey During orld War I
Through June 2019 - Ocean Township, Monmouth County
"Wet as the Atlantic Ocean: Prohibition in New Jersey"
The 18th Amendment—the measure that made the manufacture, sale, or transport of alcoholic beverages a federal offense for the 13 years, 10 months, 19 days, and 17 hours of Prohibition—was repealed in 1933. It is the only Constitution Amendment ever to be undone. And its doing and undoing were the results of a tug-of-war between the "Wets" and the "Drys" that played out across the country.
A new exhibit opening to the public Sunday, in the Richmond Gallery of the Eden Woolley House reveals where New Jersey stood in that tug-of-war. "Wet as the Atlantic Ocean: Prohibition in NJ" brings the debates, glamour, and violence of the Roaring Twenties home.
How did it happen?
The prohibition debate had been argued across the country for nearly a century before the 18th Amendment outlawed alcohol nationwide. Maine passed the first state prohibition law in 1846 and by the Civil War, several other states had followed suit.
So what happened in the first decades of the next century to elevate debate into a campaign for a Constitutional Amendment—that took the fight national?
• Drunkenness was a real problem. The proliferation of saloons fueled a drinking culture, and between 1900 and 1913, beer and alcohol consumption soared. Women and families suffered.
• Women had been campaigning for abstinence since the early 1800s, By the turn of the century they were finding their voice, stridently advocating for the vote-— and increasingly for prohibition. Organizations like the Women's Christian Temperance Union were gaining ground.
• Many Americans felt threatened by the influx of immigrants whose cultural norms around alcohol threatened prevailing white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant values.
• On the global scene, the unthinkable carnage of the First World War and the alarming success of the Russian Revolution fueled a nostalgic longing for control and order.
Under these conditions, pro-prohibition sentiment grew. By 1919 more than half the country lived in dry states, counties, or towns. If the 18th Amendment were to be passed, it needed to happen before the 1920 census, the results of which would give greater power to the anti-prohibition cities.
The last state to Ratify
Ours was the last state to ratify the 18th amendment and it did so in 1922, two years after the measure was in effect. (Rhode Island and Connecticut never ratified.) We fought Prohibition in court. New Jersey joined Rhode Island in a losing challenge before the Supreme Court (1920). And we were back in 1931, when the Supreme Court overruled a New Jersey federal judge's decision invalidating the 18th Amendment.
New Jersey's Resistance
It's no surprise, then, that Prohibition enforcement in New Jersey was lax. Local fishermen and boaters shuttled bootlegged liquor to shore from rum-running ships lined up just outside the legal limit. Speakeasies thrived with little risk of raid. The state underfunded enforcement. Corruption was rampant. Local police turned a blind eye. Even the teetotaling and incorruptible Ira Reeves, the man put in charge of federal enforcement in New Jersey, resigned after eight months and took up the anti-Prohibition cause!
This exhibit runs through June 2019. The Township of Ocean Historical Museum offers exhibits on the history of coastal Monmouth County and a full calendar of events. The Museum also houses a library and archive of local history. It is open, free of charge, 1:00 - 4:00 pm, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursday, 7:00 - 9:00 pm Thursday evenings, and 1:00 - 4:00 pm the first and second Sundays of each month. The Township of Ocean Historical Museum is located at 703 Deal Road, Ocean, NJ. For more information, visit www.oceanmuseum.org.

THE MAYAN HOROSCOPE
The contemporary Mayan Cross horoscope, known throughout Guatemala and parts of Mexico, is a creation of the ongoing Mayan cultural renaissance. In his 1997 book, Jaguar Wisdom, Ken Johnson became the first person to describe this art form in the English language, and his 2011 Mayan Calendar Astrology: Mapping Your Inner Cosmos (see our shop), is one of the few detailed studies of contemporary Mayan astrology available. Ken has remained a full-time practitioner throughout the years and is internationally known for his work in the field.
Beginning with the calendar day-sign of one's birth, Mayan mathematics is used to weave a tapestry made up of nine day-signs. Other factors, such as the Lord of the Year and the day-sign with the greatest numerical total, are also used. All together, they create an insightful psychological portrait of the individual's gifts, challenges, and destiny.
Readings are one hour in length and conducted through skype.
Divination with seeds of the wild coral tree (tz'ite) is an ancient Mayan tradition which stretches back far into antiquity and is mentioned in the Mayan creation epic (Popol Vuh). In this divinatory ritual, the tz'ite seeds are sorted into groups which represent the day-signs of the ancient calendar, and the groups of seeds are counted as if they were the days of the Cholq'ij or 260-day calendar. The final result provides the answer to one's questions.
Kenneth Johnson studied the art of Mayan divination in Momostenango with spiritual guide Nan Victoria Quiej, who initiated him as a daykeeper.
Readings are approximately one hour in length and conducted through skype.
Ceremony forms an important part of Mayan spirituality. Ceremonies may be held in response to issues which appear in Mayan horoscopes or in the divination ritual. They may also be performed purely for one's health and general well-being, or for the well-being of others. Ken Johnson and Susi Lötscher perform the Mayan fire ceremony at their fire altar in Basel, Switzerland, and can also do ceremonies for those far away.

Q: app crash after opening push notification I'm using Parse.com in sending push notifications
My app is working correctly and push notifications sent successfuly to device , but when I open the notification app getting forced close .
my logcat error is :
FATAL EXCEPTION: main
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to resume activity java.lang.NullPointerException

where my OnResume() on main class is:
@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();

    if (this.getIntent() != null) {
        final Bundle extras = this.getIntent().getExtras();
        if (extras != null) {
            final String tabTag = extras.getString("tab_tag");

            if (tabTag.equals("All Photos"))
                mViewPager.setCurrentItem(1);
            else if (tabTag.equals("Favorite"))
                mViewPager.setCurrentItem(2);
            else
                mViewPager.setCurrentItem(0);
        }
    }

A: Hard to say with the limited stacktrace given, as we do not know the exact line where the code breaks. So I'm assuming the exception is thrown somewhere in the OnResume() method you provided.
If the NullPointerException is thrown on this line:
if (tabTag.equals("All Photos"))

then variable tabTag is null, indicating either a) the value of "tab_tag" is null, or b) the key "tab_tag" doesn't exist in the extras bundle you're reading from.
However, if the NullPointerException is thrown on this line:
mViewPager.setCurrentItem(1);

then mViewPager is null, indicating either a) mViewPager hasn't been initialized, or b) the instance of mViewPager that was initialized, has been lost.
