Last November, an American military inspection team visited the Azov Battalion on the front lines of the Ukrainian civil war to discuss logistics and deepening cooperation. Images of the encounter showed American army officers poring over maps with their Ukrainian counterparts, palling around and ignoring the Nazi-inspired Wolfangel patches emblazoned on their sleeves.
Azov is a militia that has been incorporated into the Ukrainian National Guard, and is considered one of the most effective units in the field against pro-Russian separatists. But it also widely known as a bastion of neo-Nazism within the ranks of the Ukrainian military that has been criticized by international human rights groups, tied to an international fascist network and even a major terror plot.
According to Lower Class Magazine, a leftist German publication, Azov maintains a semi-underground outfit called the "Misanthropic Division" that recruits heavily among the ranks of neo-Nazi youth in France, Germany and Scandinavia. Foreign fighters are promised training with heavy weapons, including tanks, at Ukrainian camps filled with fascist fellow travelers. They even include military veterans like Mikael Skillit, a Swedish former army sniper turned neo-Nazi volunteer for Azov.
"After World War Two, the victors wrote their history," Skillit told the BBC. "They decided that it's always a bad thing to say I am white and I am proud."
Foreign Azov volunteers are driven by the call of the "Reconquista," or the mission to place eastern European nations under the control of a white supremacist dictatorship modeled after the Nazi Reichskommissariat dictatorship that ruled Ukraine during World War II. The mission is promoted effusively by Azov's chief ideologue, Andriy Biletsky, a veteran fascist organizer who leads the Social National Assembly in Ukraine's parliament. Biletsky's assembly has pledged to outlaw interracial contacts and vowed "to prepare Ukraine for further expansion and to struggle for the liberation of the entire White Race from the domination of the internationalist speculative capital."

Neo-Nazi network in German army exposed
By Peter Schwarz
World Socialist Web Site 4 May 2017
The arrest of a German army officer suspected of plotting the assassination of leftist politicians and high-ranking state officials has exposed the operations of neo-Nazi forces at the highest levels of the German military (Bundeswehr).
The information that has emerged thus far indicates that the suspected officer-terrorist was part of a broader network of fascists within the Bundeswehr, and that his activities were known to his superiors and covered up by them.
Most astonishing is the official reaction to these alarming revelations. They have prompted an outpouring of anger in the German media and from the establishment parties directed not at the existence of this network and evidence of its toleration by high-level state forces, but at mild criticisms of the military by Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen.
Given the historic crimes of German imperialism in the 20th century and the current revival of militarism in Germany, it is remarkable how little attention has been paid to these developments in the American and international press.
Lieutenant Franco A., 28, was arrested last week after coming to the attention of Austrian police when he sought to retrieve a weapon hidden at the airport in Vienna. It quickly emerged that the officer had been leading a double life. In addition to his activities in the Bundeswehr, Franco A, who does not speak a word of Arabic, had registered as a Syrian refugee and been recognized as such.
He apparently intended to carry out a terror attack under a false flag. A police search of his home uncovered a list of possible targets, which included, together with leftist politicians and activists, Justice Minister Heiko Maas and former German President Joachim Gauck.
Franco A. did not operate alone. The police have recovered shells and handguns from a 24-year-old accomplice, who was also arrested. The Defence Ministry has informed the parliamentary defence committee that the arrested officer may be part of an ultra-right network within the Bundeswehr.
The reaction of the military leadership suggests that this network is far more extensive and reaches much higher than has thus far been revealed. Defence Minister von der Leyen cancelled a planned trip to the US and invited 100 high-ranking military officers to Berlin on Thursday "to discuss the implications and consequences of the accumulated cases in the Bundeswehr."
It is now clear that, for some time, Franco A.'s superiors were aware of his fascistic views and shielded him. As far back as 2014, his graduate thesis at the French military university Saint-Cyr was rejected on the grounds that it was not a scholarly work, but rather "a radical nationalist, racist appeal," calling for "existing conditions to be adapted to the alleged natural law of racial purity." The responsible French general advised Franco A.'s German superiors to sack him, but the latter concluded that he was not a racist. They hushed up the case and promoted his military career.
The neo-Nazi views of the first lieutenant were an open secret in the French town of Illkirch, where he served in a Franco-German unit. Investigators from the Bundeswehr have found "indications of right-wing and racist ideas" in his room. In addition to a swastika carved on an assault rifle, they discovered pictures glorifying Hitler's army, the Wehrmacht.
Racist and authoritarian views and the glorification of violence are not only widespread in the Bundeswehr, they are actively encouraged by its leaders. The military intelligence service is currently investigating 275 extreme right-wing suspects. These investigations are exercises in damage control. Charges were dropped against one soldier who placed a photo of a machine gun on the Internet with the caption:
"The fastest German asylum procedure: rejects up to 1,400 requests per minute."
The tradition of Hitler's Wehrmacht continues to be officially cultivated in the Bundeswehr. Many barracks bear the names of military officers who were implicated in the Nazis' genocidal racial and war policies.
The universities of the Bundeswehr in Munich and Hamburg have repeatedly generated headlines by promoting right-wing extremism. In Munich, there was a controversy in 2011 surrounding the student magazine Campus when three of its editors expressed their support for the Conservative Revolutionary movement, one of the leading ideological forbears of the Nazis.
In Hamburg, the book Armee im Aufbruch (Army on the Move) was published in 2014 with contributions from sixteen officers who studied at the Bundeswehr University there and had combat experience in Afghanistan. The book is full of language typical of Nazi literature glorifying war.
The officers consider themselves to be an elite, opposed to a "hedonistic and individualistic" society focused on "self-gratification, consumption, pacifism and egoism," a society that has no appreciation for the "striving for honour through great sacrifice," for a "patriotic attitude to the people (Volk) and Fatherland" and for "courage, loyalty and honour."
There was no protest against the book within the German political establishment. The right-wing, dictatorial standpoint it expressed is shared across the political spectrum.
When Defence Minister von der Leyen, a member of the ruling Christian Democratic Union, responded to the exposure of the Franco A. case by warning that
"the German army has an attitude problem and it apparently has weak leadership at different levels," she provoked a storm of protest.
She may well lose her post, not because terror attacks on the former president and current ministers and members of parliament were planned from within the ranks of the Bundeswehr, but because she spoke out too sharply against it!
The Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Greens and the Left Party are protesting the loudest against von der Leyen. SPD Chairman Martin Schulz accused the defence minister of lacking a sense of responsibility. SPD defence expert Rainer Arnold called on her to apologise to her troops. Former Deputy Juso (SPD Young Socialists) Chairman Lars Klingbeil accused von der Leyen of "stabbing hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the back."
The Green Party defence expert Tobias Lindner declared,
"It is not the Bundeswehr's fault if it is increasingly attractive to right-wing extremists."
His colleague from the Left Party, Alexander Neu, proclaimed his opposition to placing all soldiers under general suspicion due to the case of Franco A.
These developments reveal the enormity of the swing to the right by the entire German ruling class and the advanced state of its campaign to again make Germany the hegemon of Europe and a world military as well as economic power. The deepening crisis of world capitalism and rising economic and geo-political tensions are tearing Europe apart and fracturing the Atlantic alliance, increasingly pitting Germany against the United States.
Under these conditions, German imperialism must seek to sanitize its criminal past and rewrite its history to rehabilitate fascism, as it transforms the Bundeswehr into a lethal force of professional killers, capable of waging war all over the world.
Claims that the German ruling class learned its lesson from the Holocaust and the crimes of the Nazis, and that the military had purged itself, are exposed as myths.
In a commentary on Tuesday, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung co-editor Berthold Kohler derided the "fantasy image" of the Bundeswehr "as a kind of missionary military that spreads the gospel of the German constitution so that the German spirit shall heal the world." He wrote:
"Whoever sends soldiers into crises and wars must prepare themselves and the soldiers for the harshness and cruelty that awaits them." Because the Bundeswehr has to teach its recruits "to fight and kill … it must be able to go to the limits of what is permissible in terms of hardship in training its fighting units."
The spread of militarism into all spheres of society is an international phenomenon. In the US, Donald Trump, the most right-wing president in American history, has appointed generals to all the main security-related ministries, as American imperialism spearheads the drive to World War III. In France, heavily armed soldiers routinely patrol the streets since the imposition of a state of emergency a year and a half ago.
The general silence to date of the international media on the growth of fascistic forces within the German military is itself an expression of the turn by the ruling classes of the world toward war and dictatorship.

History: How Britain protected Ukraine's Waffen-SS Galitsia Division in the wake of World War II
By Andrey Panevin
Slavyangrad.org 20 November 2016
Amid the continued support given to the fascist politicians and military of Ukraine by western governments, many people are asking how such a betrayal of the sacrifices of the Allies in World War Two could take place. However, what most people are unaware of, in large part due to an ever-more corrupted media, is that these governments have a shocking history of protecting the perpetrators of some of the most terrible crimes of that war. One of the most egregious examples of this practice of shielding war-criminals from justice was confirmed in 2005 with the declassification of British Home Office papers showing that the British government protected at least 8,000 members of the Waffen-SS Galitsia Division from the justice that awaited them in the Soviet Union.
When Nazi Germany surrendered to the Allied Powers in May 1945, the 14th Waffen-SS 'Galitsia' Division, made up of Ukrainian volunteers, continued to retreat westward from their positions in Austria in order to avoid capture and punishment by the advancing Red Army. The Division—approximately 10,000 soldiers—ultimately chose to surrender to British and American forces and was briefly sent to an internment camp in Spittal an der Drau, Austria. The British government, in contravention of the agreements made at the Yalta Conference, refused to repatriate the Galitsia Division to the Soviet Union, instead transferring them to another internment camp in Bellaria-Igea Marina, in northern Italy. It was here that a troika of prominent Ukrainian fascists—Mykola Lebed, Father Ivan Hry'okh and Bishop Ivan Buchko—persuaded the Vatican to intercede on behalf of the soldiers, whom Bishop Buchko described as "good Catholics and fervent anti-communists."
Galitsia Division troops interned at Rimini, Italy
As a result of this intercession, the British and American authorities overseeing the internment camp remained steadfast in their refusal to abide by their obligation to repatriate the soldiers to the Soviet Union. One of the principal British proponents of the decision not to repatriate the Galitsia Division was Major Denis Hills. Major Hills was keen on protecting these soldiers, and despite admitting that he "knew about the SS", he said the army "was not interested in war crimes."
According to British academic, Stephen Dorril, in his book M16: Inside the Covert World of Her Majesty's Secret Service, Major Hills was a self-described fascist and a staunch anti-communist who took it upon himself to ensure that the Galitsia Division would be transferred to Britain. Hills personally advised the head of the Division, Major Yaskevycz, to instruct his men that when questioned by the Soviet repatriation commission they must lie and insist that they were forced to serve alongside the Nazis and were not by any means volunteers. As a result of this, and due to British fears that improved relations between Italy and the Soviet Union could result in repatriation, the decision was made on April 1st, 1947, to relocate at least 8,000 members of the Galitsia Division to Britain.

An American says, "We Are the new Nazis…"
The Smirking Chimp 17 September 2016
After more than two decades of continuous war against countries we bombed with which we were officially at peace, and then invaded, and after millions have been killed and after billions have been spent to finance America's illegal wars, we are no safer than we were before 9-11 and the world is facing the greatest refugee and worst humanitarian crisis since WW II. The United States is to blame for these wars of atrocity and the American political class that promulgated them are war criminals. In short, we Americans are the new Nazis of the world disorder.
Reports by the Congressional Research Service (CRS), Mother Jones, and Time put the costs of American adventurism at about $1.6 trillion dollars. Other reports have estimated the cost of US wars since 9/11 to be far higher, between $4 -$7 trillion. According to MJ, "a report by Neta Crawford, a political science professor at Boston University, estimated the total cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan—as well as post-2001 assistance to Pakistan—to be roughly $4.4 trillion. The CRS estimate is lower because it does not include additional costs including the lifetime price of health care for disabled veterans and interest on the national debt."
The U.S. is primarily to blame for the wars in Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq which have killed thousands of people, most civilians, every year. The U.S. is complicit in proxy wars in Yemen, Sudan, Pakistan, Ukraine, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Congo, and Libya, which have claimed hundreds lives in recent years. Mexico, which suffered the fifth highest number of violent deaths in the world last year, is sort of a special case because the country is effectively a narco-state due to the violence unleashed by drug gangs. Afghanistan is also a narco-state but it is under occupation by American forces, which have not stopped, or even slowed much of the opium production in that country. U.S. agencies like the DEA, AFT, and FBI have been deeply involved in Mexico, as U.S. military forces are involved in Afghanistan, and those agencies were responsible for gun shipments to drug traffickers in Mexico. These facts are undisputed.
So while hundreds of armed conflicts are on-going around the world, the bloodiest conflicts are the ones where U.S forces are either directly or indirectly involved.
The American wars have led to famine and a refugee crisis which in turn is leading to the dissolution of the European Union and to new military and political alliances that will make the world a more dangerous place than it is now.
American exceptionalism that has guided the last three administrations was supposed to bring happy days of peace and security and democracy to the world but none of that has materialized and anybody who still thinks our militarism will accomplish those fanciful goals is drinking too much tainted Kool-aid.
In short, we Americans are like those good Germans who bought Hitler's propaganda and enjoyed a better life for a while as German armies invaded their neighbors with whom they were officially at peace. History does have its lessons but we have not learned from it and are condemning ourselves by repeating it.
The U.S. is the Fourth Reich. God help us all.

'Insane blackmail' or 'historical responsibility'? Greece demands WW2 reparations from Germany
Does Germany still owe Greece billions of euros in compensation for Nazi crimes in World War Two, or should bygones be bygones since Berlin has anyway given Athens billions as part of benefits and bailout measures?
Greece continues to demand about €270 billion from Germany in reparation payments for atrocities committed by the Nazi government during World War Two. Athens said it could take legal action against Germany to receive the compensation.
"Greece and its people will not forget the slaughter and war crimes of the Nazi army and demand tangible recognition by the German government. Greece will do whatever is necessary, mainly at a diplomatic level, and if necessary, at a legal [level]," Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said earlier this week, during a visit to Kommeno to commemorate the victims of the 1943 massacre in the northwestern village, where Nazi troops killed 317 civilians.
RT sat down with political theorist Marina Prentoulis, member of Syriza, and Eike Hamer, a political commentator from Germany, to discuss whether Greece can really claim the money 70 years after the war.
Marina Prentoulis agrees it's been a long time, but insists that one has to remember that "crimes against humanity never expire."
Reparation – Germany's historical responsibility for Nazi occupation
"The people of Greece will always have to live with the memories of the Nazi occupation. I would like to say that [on August 17] in 1944 we had a very dark anniversary for Greece – the anniversary of Kokkinia, a place in the western Athens, where the same day many years ago 20,000 people were gathered at the local square – 350 of them were executed, and 800 of them were taken hostages, and they were tortured by the Nazi army and the Gestapo," she said.
Greece demands €278bn WWII reparations from Germany – more than its debt to EU
Eike Hamer argues, though, that the issue of fairness here is not the point, as "there is hardly any other country that has got as much money from Germany as Greece." He recalled that back in 1960, West Germany paid 115 million deutsche marks to Greece as compensation for Nazi war crimes. Now the main point is to "live together again in peace and with respect to each other," he says.
That won't be possible if one side "comes with old stories [over and over] again to blackmail the other one and to demand any money or whatever from them," Hamer says. "We're comrades in the EU, and this is insane to make a break through the population, by demanding such insane things."
Prentoulis agrees that living in peace is crucial, but, she insists, "this is why we have a historical responsibility to the people of Europe to recognize how Greece was devastated by the Nazi occupation."
As for the 1960 payment, she said, "it was only a fraction of the money that they were supposed to give to Greece."
"And now it is time to recognize that as comrades and for the good of the whole of Europe in order to be able to put this story in history and remember the horrific things that happened to Greece with not wanting to do anything like that again in the future; for peace and prosperity of Europe," said Prentoulis.
No other country in the world pays Greece as much as Germany
Since the 1960 compensation, Hamer argues, Greece has enjoyed advantages worth "a couple of hundred billion" euros. He referred to low interest rates, European – "mainly German" – aid and other indirect payments, including advantages Greece received because of having "many contracts" with Germany.
"There is no other country in the world paying Greece that much as Germany through the EU, through other things," he said.
Athens cheers German president's stance on WWII reparations to Greece
"It is funny that you can pay Greece as much money as you want and the elites divide this money amongst each other, take the money away, move to London, or whatever. Now, when the people are left behind from their own elites, they are demanding more money from Germany," Hamer said, adding that "this is not fair."
Prentoulis insists that it's Greece that is being treated unfairly.
"Greece is getting one of the worst treatments across the Eurozone," she said adding that economic issues and war reparation payment should be differentiated.
"But if you want to talk about the situation in Greece now, I have to remind you again about the 1953 London Debt Agreement, when a lot of countries, including Greece, decided to cut the debt of the German state by half and connect their repayment with a prosperity of the German state. This was an act of good will from the people of Europe," she said.
Greece, however, is being treated differently now, says Prentoulis.
"The Greek people have been totally brought to the knees, once again because of austerity, because of the decisions of the conservative government of the EU, including the German one, and they are going on suffering since the crisis of 2008. You remember what happened with the Greek negotiations, and the whole Europe has been witnessing that," she said.

The last article of Ukrainian journalist blown up today: Inside Ukraine, power struggles, lawlessness, and coup fears
RIP Pavel Sheremet
Ukraine is still managing to balance between the two centers of power: the current government prompted by CIA-supported SBU [Security Service of Ukraine] (according to many reports the CIA takes up an entire floor in the SBU building, and the American ambassador in Ukraine is the de-facto president, approving laws and calling the shots) and the Russophobic radical Nazi battalions, which where the muscle responsible for the violent overthrow of Yanukovich government on Maidan and in the aggression of the new Kiev government against the separatist Donbass.
As a guarantor of order in Ukraine, the SBU must appear to defend the population from gangs and crime, while after plundering the mostly Russian population of separatist Donbass in the name of patriotism, members of volunteer battalions who know no other means to make a living, are constantly in Ukrainian criminal news reports.
The nationalist volunteer battalions have always been a source of the greatest threat to the new Ukrainian government, which over the last two years continues to successfully balance on the edge of a third Maidan, constantly accused by the far right of not being patriotic or Russophobic enough. This is the reason why remaining Ukrainian career politicians and oligarchs had to abandon decency and paint themselves in nationalist colors in order to hold on to their power.
Only the future will tell how long can the fragile balance be maintained. Meanwhile we bring to your attention the last article of Pavel Sheremet, a Ukrainian journalist describing the internal squabbles between the two Ukrainian power poles. As common for current Ukrainian journalists, who are still permitted to be published in the mainstream Ukrainian media, he is supporting the Nazi Ukrainian commander Andre Biletsky and explains why he could be a threat to the government.
However, even his assessment confirms that the nationalist battalions were a magnet for the disadvantaged troubled youth who found a meaning, a community and a boost to self-esteem in nationalist ideals, who when not occupied by combat resort to crime, so well documented in the war zone of Donbass.
Three days after this article Pavel Sheremet was blown up in his car in Kiev. – Kristina Kharlova
Ukrainian Pravda [Ukrainian Truth]

Translated from Russian
"Azov", responsibility and volunteer battalions
The failed Turkish military coup has stirred the Ukrainian community of political analysts and for a few days intensified fears and talk of a military coup in Ukraine.
Some are warning of the inevitable and bloody coup, others calm – there is no one to rebel.
I am not going to predict anything, just like to draw your attention to two recent curious developments.
Writing this early Sunday morning, just as at this moment the chairman of the supervisory board of Odessa Port Plant, the first deputy head of the board of Naftogaz Sergey Pereloma are released from jail. Following him the second "big fish," the first deputy chairman of Odessa Port Plant Nikolay Schurikov escapes punishment.
Escaped not because of the poor work of investigators of the Anti-corruption bureau and the anti-corruption prosecutors. Simply the deputies-battalion commanders and some other people in camouflage on Friday and Saturday blocked the work of the court and created an atmosphere of chaos around these two cases.
Why battalion commanders, why men in camouflage? Pereloma and Schurikov were detained on charges of embezzlement of the funds of the enterprise, not even for misconduct in the ATO zone. But deputies-battalion commanders and men in camouflage are now if not above the law, but are able to paralyze the execution of any law on call.
And, mostly the same characters are involved. Causing among the population an increasing hatred of men in camouflage and fueling anger towards any volunteers from President Poroshenko and the leaders of security structures.
The second story. On Friday, SBU spetsnaz conducted an operation to apprehend a gang that robbed banks in the Zaporozhye region. They were lured to the woods following an armored bank van. Two attackers were killed – a citizen of Latvia (he was taken out by a sniper, he didn't even have time to shoot the guards) and a citizen of Russia (heavily wounded, he died on Saturday in a hospital), two wounded were arrested, and another two managed to escape. One of them – "Azov" battalion fighter.
All these people have been fighting in Donbass from the very first months of the war. Well trained, they went on raids in the rearguard of the enemy for several days. During the truce or trench warfare, they could not find themselves, went from unit to unit and resorted to crime.
The key in this story is the mention of "Azov". The killed citizen of Latvia, as well as a Russian citizen, once were well regarded fighters in the ranks of "Azov". Another attacker had served in the regiment until the last day.
The hot heads from the top levels of government called to send spetsnaz to Urzuf and storm the "Azov" base in search of evidence. In Kiev airport two airplanes were on standby.
Former regiment commander Andrey Biletsky urgently flew to the location at night in order to prevent provocations and to calm his hot heads.
People in the know knew that to attack "Azov" base is insane. Sober people know that the regiment had all legal grounds not to let the investigators even from the military prosecutor's office for several days. Remember how long the military prosecutors could not cope with a small "Tornado" battalion. Compared to them "Azov" is a combat division.
Minister of internal affairs Arsen Avakov was not in Kiev – he left on vacation.
But we must command the head of the SBU Vasily Gritsak and deputy Andrey Biletsky. One had the presence of mind and patience not to bring the situation to a bloody absurd, the second was smart enough to separate a brother from a criminal.
SBU often uses "Azov" at the front as storm troops, perhaps this is why a common ground has been found in this scandalous situation.
Investigators were quietly allowed inside the base to perform their work. SBU leadership acted surprisingly competent, even better than the commanders of National guard – without hysteria, pressure and speculation on the subject of volunteer battalions.
If Biletsky only dropped a word, a crowd of young men would gather in the center of Kiev, ready to tear the enemies of Ukraine, FSB agents and the oligarchs. They would shout about betrayal, the third Maidan, the security forces who protect criminals in Donbass and harass the true patriots. But he acted like a responsible person and a commander.
"We do not leave our brothers, even the dead on the battlefield. But if the soldier crossed the red line that separates war and defense of homeland from violent crime, he will answer to the full extent of the law. Black sheep are everywhere. Of course, if the lost man is a hero and shed blood for Ukraine, we will ask for leniency towards him. [So what about the full extent of the law??? – FR] But we are not savages, we don't defend ourselves at any cost, we defend our Homeland" – said Biletsky.
"We are not savages" is a key phrase. I can imagine how difficult was this decision for Biletsky, because it goes against the existing trend, when a man in camouflage, especially from the ATO zone, is always right and above the law.
And this example shows that when two sane people from different security agencies – the SBU and "Azov" – find a common language, no scary nonsense will happen.
Andrey Biletsky, of course, must be closely watched. He is very much progressing over the last two years and is growing, but his radical Nazi youth sometimes surfaces. But we can distinguish a mistaken responsible patriot from a crook and opportunist.
And we must follow suit of such volunteers as Azov's Biletsky or Peacemaker's [Mirotvorets] Teteruk, and not those strange people in camouflage, who at this moment block the work of anti-corruption prosecutors at the Solomensky district court in Kiev.
The aftermath of every criminal episode involving members of volunteer battalions in Ukraine is the same: SBU spetsnaz is called up, sometimes followed by an armed stand-off at a particular battalion headquarters, which only illustrates that these battalions are nothing but gangs under patriotic colors, consisting of nothing but thugs and criminals. – KK

Obama brings two fuel-guzzling planes to serve as Air Force One in Argentina
By Dave Boyer – The Washington Times
President Obama brought along a second, smaller Air Force One for his family to enjoy a day of sightseeing in Argentina on Thursday.
After dancing the tango at a state dinner in Buenos Aires Wednesday night, the president and first lady Michelle Obama took their daughters aboard the government plane colloquially known as "baby" Air Force One Thursday to fly to the scenic town of Bariloche in southern Argentina. It's a Boeing 757 used when traveling to places where the runway is too short for the primary Air Force One.
The larger Air Force One, a 747-200, was parked alongside the smaller plane at the airport in Buenos Aires, according to pool reporters traveling with the president. It costs about $206,000 per hour to fly the larger plane, which the president is expected to use for the 10-plus-hour flight back to Washington late Thursday night.
It's common for the government to have a backup plane available when the president travels, although not often for a family sightseeing excursion.
Bariloche is a lakeside resort town nestled in the foothills of the Andes mountains, famous for its chocolates and Swiss-style architecture.
But Bariloche is more than that.
In Argentine Nazi Refuge Bariloche
By Muhammad Iqbal / Business Recorder
Bariloche, a popular Argentine tourist resort ringed by the Andes, where Nazi war criminal Erich Priebke found refuge after World War II, has kept mostly silent on its long history as a home to Nazis. For 40 years, Priebke lived undisturbed among its citizens, until he was finally extradited to Italy in the 1990s over a World War II massacre for which he has never expressed regret.
Thousands of Nazis, Croatian Ustasha fascists and Italian fascists arrived in Argentina with the blessing of president Juan Peron, who led the nation from 1946 to 1955 and again briefly in the 1970s, according to the Nazi-hunting Simon Wiesenthal Center.
Working first as a waiter, then as owner of a delicatessen and finally as owner of a consulting firm, Priebke was liked and respected in the German community. He was the president of Bariloche's German-Argentine cultural association and would celebrate Adolf Hitler's April 20 birthday alongside the town's other Germans….
Nazis in Bariloche
In 1995, Bariloche made headlines in the international press when it became known as a haven for Nazi war criminals, such as the former SS Hauptsturmführer Erich Priebke. Priebke had been the director of the German School of Bariloche for many years.
In his 2004 book Bariloche nazi-guía turística, Argentine author Abel Basti claims that Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun lived in the surroundings of Bariloche for many years after World War II.[5] Basti said that the Argentine Nazis chose the estate of Inalco as Hitler's refuge.[5]
Grey Wolf: The Escape of Adolf Hitler, a 2011 book (and subsequent film) by British authors Simon Dunstan and Gerrard Williams, proposed that Hitler and Eva Braun escaped from Berlin in 1945 and hid at Hacienda San Ramon, six miles east of Bariloche, until the early 1960s. These accounts are disputed by most historians, who generally believe that Hitler and Braun committed suicide in the last days of World War II, even though their bodies were never found.[6]

YCC Vice President: Schofield to reform aid, grading, food
Madeline Johnson 12:00 am, Apr 20, 2007
Name: Emily Schofield
College: Branford
Hometown: Pittsburgh, Penn.
Major: Ethics, Politics & Economics
Keeping her focus amid the bewildering bustle of Koffee Too?, YCC vice presidential candidate Emily Schofield '09 explained her plans for next year's YCC and discussed what she could brings to the table — in some cases, literally.
An avid Crackling Oat Bran fan, Schofield talked about how her platform is responsive to students' actual needs, for example, by working to expand dining options, adding late-night options and better food.
"Every day, three times a day — it's something that affects students," Schofield said.
Schofield, a YCC representative from Branford, spoke of the changes she intends to enact on campus, citing the importance of financial aid reform and improved transportation to places like Shaw's. Schofield also hopes for academic reform, such as extending the deadline for Credit/D/Fail until the end of a semester to "provide maximum motivation to work, yet flexibility in switching back to a letter grade."
While campaigning has not officially started, Schofield said that she was excited to talk to students whom she doesn't usually interact with.
"[I] have a reason to ask, 'What do you want to see [on campus]?'," Schofield said.
Schofield said she is running for the vice presidency because "YCC is the best way to make change on campus."
When asked about the YCC's current state, Schofield paused a few moments before saying, in a cheerful voice, "There is always room for improvement."
One of the problems inherent to institutions like the YCC are the communication difficulties between the student body and the YCC, she said.
"Students don't have a good enough mechanism to know what we do," Schofield said. "[We] need to find better ways to communicate."
Suitemate Olga Obraztsova '09 confirmed Schofield's proactive approach to her job on the YCC.
"She always walks into the room and is like, 'What can I do for you guys?'," Obraztsova said. "She always wants to know what the suite's opinions are on the things that YCC is involved with. She's always on the lookout for things that she can improve."
Colin Leatherbury '09, a fellow Branfordian, testified to her willingness to help when needed, however inconvenient a time it may be.
"Once she couldn't find her shoes, and she went out with one shoe, one bare foot to help me [with a project]," Leatherbury said. "That's dedication."
Schofield herself stressed the importance of commitment and enthusiasm for a member of the YCC.
"It all comes back to tangible results," Schofield said. "[We need] someone who will keep working on it until you get results… I've done it to a greater extent than the other candidates."
Roommate Tenley Mochizuki '09 said that one time, when she was complaining about an aspect of Branford housing, Schofield was quick to put on her YCC hat.
"Before I knew it, she brought it up before YCC and got a resolution passed," Mochizuki said.

Q: Connection between two Petrov classification schemes For the Weyl scalars of all spacetimes, at any point, possess one special structure, the so called principal null directions. Consider a general null tetrad $\{ l_a,n_a,m_a,\overline{m}_a \}$, we would like to perform a linear transformation that preserves the vector $n_a$. The most general one is given by $l_a→l_a+\overline{b}m_a + b \overline{m}_a+|b|^2 n_a$ and $m_a→m_a+bn_a$, where $b$ is a complex parameter that defines the transformation. Now the Weyl scalar $\Psi_0$ will, under this change of basis, transform as
$$\Psi_0→\Psi_0+4b\Psi_1+6b^2\Psi_2+4b^3\Psi_3+b^4\Psi_4$$
Since the transformation is quartic in $b$ there are exactly four roots for the equation $\Psi_0=0$. Therefore, in any given point in the spacetime, there are four null directions $l_a$ such that $\Psi_0=0$. These are called principal null directions. A Petrov classification is given via:

*

*Petrov I - all roots are distinct

*Petrov II - two roots coincide

*Petrov III - three roots coincide

*Petrov D - two distinct double roots

*Petrov N - all roots coincide

as given for example in "The Mathematical Theory of Black Holes" by Chandrasekhar.
However in the book "Advanced General Relativity" by John Stewart the Petrov classification is given in terms of the spinor representation of the Weyl tensor as follows. The Weyl tensor in terms of spinors reads
$$C_{ABCDA'B'C'D'} = \Psi_{ABCD} \epsilon_{A'B'} \epsilon_{C'D'} + \overline{\Psi}_{A'B'C'D'} \epsilon_{AB} \epsilon_{CD}$$
where $\Psi_{ABCD}$ is totally symmetric. As it is symmetric, it can be shown that
$$\Psi_{ABCD} = \alpha_{(A} \beta_B \gamma_C \delta_{D)}$$
Now the spinor $\alpha_A$ defines a null vector by $\alpha_a \sim \alpha_A \overline{\alpha}_{A'}$, same with $\beta, \gamma, \delta$ and a Petrov classification scheme can be defined in terms of them and their "repeatedness". This is how it is presented in Stewart's book. These supposedly are the same as the principal null vectors as described above, and this is what you need to prove to show the two schemes are equivalent.
Just a bit more background - the first part above which was written in terms of null tetrads, can be written in terms of spinors...You have a spinor basis $(o,i)$ and
$$l_a \sim o_A \overline{o}_{A'} , \;\; n_a \sim i_A \overline{i}_{A'} , \;\; m_a \sim o_A \overline{i}_{A'} , \;\; \overline{m}_a \sim i_A \overline{o}_{A'}$$
and in this basis
\begin{align}\Psi_0 &= \Psi_{ABCD} o^A o^B o^C o^D\\
\Psi_1 &= \Psi_{ABCD} o^A o^B o^C i^D\\
\Psi_2 &= \Psi_{ABCD} o^A o^B i^C i^D\\
\Psi_3 &= \Psi_{ABCD} o^A i^B i^C i^D\\
\Psi_4 &= \Psi_{ABCD} i^A i^B i^C i^D\end{align}
Now the transformation given above for null tetrads is the same as doing:
$$(\hat{o} , \hat{i}) \mapsto (o + b i , i)$$
Obviously this will result in the same transform as above, namely:
$$\Psi_0→\Psi_0+4b\Psi_1+6b^2\Psi_2+4b^3\Psi_3+b^4\Psi_4$$
The principal null directions, as defined above in terms of null tetrads, are now equivalently defined in terms of spinors:
$$o_A + b_1 i_A , \;\; o_A + b_2 i_A , \;\; o_A + b_3 i_A, \;\; o_A + b_4 i_A$$
where $b_1,b_2,b_3,b_4$ are the roots of $\Psi_0 = 0$.
After all this background, my question boils down to this: to show the two schemes coincide we need to show that
$$\Psi_{ABCD} = \alpha_{(A} \beta_B \gamma_C \delta_{D)}$$
where
$$\alpha_A = o_A + b_1 i_A , \;\; \beta_A = o_A + b_2 i_A , \;\; \gamma_A = o_A + b_3 i_A, \;\; \delta_A = o_A + b_4 i_A$$
What does this reduce to showing?

A: EDIT I can now include the other cases, not just when the roots are distinct.
Under the transformation $(o,i) \mapsto (o + b i , i)$, we have
$\hat{\Psi}_0 (b) = \Psi_0 + 4 b \Psi_1 + 6 b^2 \Psi_2 + 4 b^3 \psi_3 + b^4 \Psi_4
\\
\hat{\Psi}_1 (b) = \Psi_1 + 3 b \Psi_2 + 3 b^2 \Psi_3 + b^3 \psi_4
\\
\hat{\Psi}_2 (b) = \Psi_2 + 2 b \Psi_3 + \Psi_4
\\
\hat{\Psi}_3 (b) = \Psi_3 + b \Psi_4
\\
\hat{\Psi}_4 (b) = \Psi_4  .
$
We are interested in the roots of $\hat{\Psi}_4 (b) = 0$ which is quartic in $b$ and so can be written,
$
\hat{\Psi}_0 (b) = \Psi_4 (b-b_1) (b-b_2) (b-b_3) (b-b_4)  .
$
Below we will often use this together with the obvious formula:
$
\hat{\Psi}_1 (b) = {1 \over 4} {d \over d b} \hat{\Psi}_0 (b)
\\
\hat{\Psi}_2 (b) = {1 \over 3} {d \over d b} \hat{\Psi}_1 (b)
\\
\hat{\Psi}_3 (b) = {1 \over 2} {d \over d b} \hat{\Psi}_2 (b)
\\
\hat{\Psi}_4 (b) = {d \over d b} \hat{\Psi}_3 (b) = \Psi_4  .
$
CASE (1) First we consider the case where the four roots $b_1, b_2, b_3, b_4$ are distinct. Write
$\rho_1^A := o^A + b_1 i^A \\
\rho_2^A := o^A + b_2 i^A \\
\rho_3^A := a^A + b_3 i^A \\
\rho_4^A := a^A + b_4 i^A$
Then $\hat{\Psi}_0 = 0$ implies the 4 equations for $\alpha , \beta , \gamma, \delta$:
$\alpha_{(A} \beta_B \gamma_C \delta_{D)} \; \rho_1^A \rho_1^B \rho_1^C \rho_1^D = 0
\\
\alpha_{(A} \beta_B \gamma_C \delta_{D)} \; \rho_2^A \rho_2^B \rho_2^C \rho_2^D = 0
\\
\alpha_{(A} \beta_B \gamma_C \delta_{D)} \; \rho_3^A \rho_3^B \rho_3^C \rho_3^D = 0 \\
\alpha_{(A} \beta_B \gamma_C \delta_{D)} \; \rho_4^A \rho_4^B \rho_4^C \rho_4^D = 0$
which reduce to the 4 equations:
$(\alpha_A \rho_1^A) (\beta_B \rho_1^B) (\gamma_C \rho_1^C) (\delta_D \rho_1^D) = 0  \quad Eq 1
\\
(\alpha_A \rho_2^A) (\beta_B \rho_2^B) (\gamma_C \rho_2^C) (\delta_D \rho_2^D) = 0   \quad Eq 2
\\
\\
(\alpha_A \rho_3^A) (\beta_B \rho_3^B) (\gamma_C \rho_3^C) (\delta_D \rho_3^D) = 0  \quad Eq 3
\\
(\alpha_A \rho_4^A) (\beta_B \rho_4^B) (\gamma_C \rho_4^C) (\delta_D \rho_4^D) = 0  \quad Eq 4
$
Now we use that for spinors, $\alpha_A \rho^A = 0$ if and only if $\alpha$ is proportional to $\rho$ (we write $\alpha_A = \lambda \rho_A$).
We are considering the case where all the roots $b_1,b_2,b_3,b_4$ are all different and as such that the spinors $\rho_1 , \rho_2 , \rho_3 , \rho_4$ are not proportional to each other. Then Eq 1 is zero if and only if one of at least one of the brackets vanish. Say the first bracket is one that vanishes, so we can say $\alpha_A = \lambda_1 \rho_{1 A} = \lambda_1 (o_A + b_1 i_A)$. The first bracket in Eq 2 cant then vanish because $\rho_1$ is not proportional to $\rho_2$, and so one of the other brackets must vanish. Say the second bracket is one that vanishes, and so $\beta_A = \lambda_2 \rho_{2A} = \lambda_2 (o_A + b_2 i_A)$. The first two brackets of Eq 3 cant vanish, so at least one of the other two vanish, say it is the 3rd bracket then $\gamma_A = \lambda_3 \rho_{3A} = \lambda_3 (o_A + b_3 i_A)$. The first 3 brackets of Eq 4 can't vanish and so it must be the last bracket that vanishes, and so $\delta_A = \lambda_4 \rho_{4A} = \lambda_4 (o_A + b_4 i_A)$. And So $\Psi_{ABCD} = \alpha_{(A} \beta_B \gamma_C \delta_{D)}$ where the spinors $\alpha_A , \beta_A , \gamma_A , \delta_A$ are all distinct and each representing a principal null direction.
CASE (2) We consider the case where just two roots coincide, say $b_1=b_2$. As $\rho_1 = \rho_2$ we have three independent equations from $\hat{\Psi}_0 = 0$:
$(\alpha_A \rho_1^A) (\beta_B \rho_1^B) (\gamma_C \rho_1^C) (\delta_D \rho_1^D) = 0  \quad Eq 5
\\
(\alpha_A \rho_3^A) (\beta_B \rho_3^B) (\gamma_C \rho_3^C) (\delta_D \rho_3^D) = 0  \quad Eq 6
\\
(\alpha_A \rho_4^A) (\beta_B \rho_4^B) (\gamma_C \rho_4^C) (\delta_D \rho_4^D) = 0  \quad Eq 7
$
Then Eq 5 is zero if and only if one of at least one of the brackets vanish. Say the first bracket is one that vanishes, so we can say $\alpha_A = \lambda_1 \rho_{1 A} = \lambda_1 (o_A + b_1 i_A)$. The first bracket in Eq 6 cant then vanish because $\rho_1$ is not proportional to $\rho_3$, and so one of the other brackets must vanish. Say the second bracket is one that vanishes, and so $\beta_A = \lambda_3 \rho_{3A} = \lambda_3 (o_A + b_3 i_A)$. The first two brackets of Eq 3 cant vanish, so at least one of the other two vanish, say it is the 3rd bracket then $\gamma_A = \lambda_4 \rho_{4A} = \lambda_4 (o_A + b_4 i_A)$.
It can easily be shown that with parameter $b = b_1 (= b_2)$ $\hat{\Psi}_0$ and $\hat{\Psi}_1$ will vanish. So we also have the equation
$\alpha_{(A} \beta_B \gamma_C \delta_{D)} \; \rho_1^A \rho_1^B \rho_1^C i^D = 0$
or
$\rho_{1(A} \rho_{3B} \rho_{4C} \delta_{D)} \; \rho_1^A \rho_1^B \rho_1^C i^D = 0$
which reduce to
$(\rho_{1A} i^A) (\rho_{3B} \rho_1^B) (\rho_{4C} \rho_1^C) (\delta_{D} \rho_1^D) = 0$
implying $\delta_A = \rho_{1A} = \lambda_1 (o_A + b_1 i_a)$. So now we have that $\Psi_{ABCD} = \alpha_{(A} \beta_B \gamma_C \delta_{D)}$ where the spinors $\alpha_A , \beta_A , \gamma_A , \delta_A$ each represent a principal null direction with two directions coinciding.
CASE (3) Three roots coincide and $b = b_1 (= b_2 = b_3)$. As $\rho_1 = \rho_2 = \rho_3$ we have two independent equations from $\hat{\Psi}_0 = 0$:
$(\alpha_A \rho_1^A) (\beta_B \rho_1^B) (\gamma_C \rho_1^C) (\delta_D \rho_1^D) = 0  \quad Eq 8
\\
(\alpha_A \rho_4^A) (\beta_B \rho_4^B) (\gamma_C \rho_4^C) (\delta_D \rho_4^D) = 0  \quad Eq 9
$
Then Eq 8 is zero if and only if one of at least one of the brackets vanish. Say the first bracket is one that vanishes, so we can say $\alpha_A = \lambda_1 \rho_{1 A} = \lambda_1 (o_A + b_1 i_A)$. The first bracket in Eq 9 cant then vanish because $\rho_1$ is not proportional to $\rho_4$, and so one of the other brackets must vanish. Say the second bracket is one that vanishes, and so $\beta_A = \lambda_4 \rho_{4A} = \lambda_4 (o_A + b_4 i_A)$.
It is easily shown that with parameter $b = b_1 (= b_2 = b_3)$ $\hat{\Psi}_0$, $\hat{\Psi}_1$ and $\hat{\Psi}_2$ will vanish simultaneously. So we also have the equations
$\alpha_{(A} \beta_B \gamma_C \delta_{D)} \; \rho_1^A \rho_1^B \rho_1^C i^D = 0 \quad Eq 10
\\
\alpha_{(A} \beta_B \gamma_C \delta_{D)} \; \rho_1^A \rho_1^B i^C i^D = 0 \quad Eq 11
$
Eq 10 is
$\rho_{1(A} \rho_{4B} \gamma_C \delta_{D)} \; \rho_1^A \rho_1^B \rho_1^C i^D = 0
$
which reduces to
$(\rho_{1A} i^A) (\rho_{4B} \rho_1^B) (\gamma_C \rho_1^C) (\delta_{D} \rho_1^D) = 0
$
This implies that $\gamma_A = \lambda_1 \rho_{1A} = \lambda_1 (o_A + b_1 i_A)$. Eq 11 then reads
$
\rho_{1(A} \rho_{4B} \rho_{1C} \delta_{D)} \; \rho_1^A \rho_1^B i^C i^D = 0
$
which reduces to
$
(\rho_{1A} i^A) (\rho_{4B} \rho_1^B) (\rho_{1C} i^C) (\delta_{D} \rho_1^D) = 0
$
which means that $\delta_{D} = \rho_{1D} = \lambda_1 (o_a + b_1 i_A)$. So now we have that $\Psi_{ABCD} = \alpha_{(A} \beta_B \gamma_C \delta_{D)}$ where the spinors $\alpha_A , \beta_A , \gamma_A , \delta_A$ each represent a principal null direction with three directions coinciding.
CASE(4) Two distinct double roots $b_1$ and $b_2$. As $\rho_1 = \rho_3$ and $\rho_2 = \rho_4$ we have two independent equations from $\hat{\Psi}_0 = 0$:
$(\alpha_A \rho_1^A) (\beta_B \rho_1^B) (\gamma_C \rho_1^C) (\delta_D \rho_1^D) = 0  \quad Eq 12
\\
(\alpha_A \rho_2^A) (\beta_B \rho_2^B) (\gamma_C \rho_2^C) (\delta_D \rho_2^D) = 0  \quad Eq 13
$
Then Eq 12 is zero if and only if one of at least one of the brackets vanish. Say the first bracket is one that vanishes, so we can say $\alpha_A = \lambda_1 \rho_{1 A} = \lambda_1 (o_A + b_1 i_A)$. The first bracket in Eq 13 cant then vanish because $\rho_1$ is not proportional to $\rho_4$, and so one of the other brackets must vanish. Say the second bracket is one that vanishes, and so $\beta_A = \lambda_2 \rho_{2A} = \lambda_2 (o_A + b_2 i_A)$.
It is easily shown that with parameter $b = b_1$ we have $\hat{\Psi}_1 = 0$
$\alpha_{(A} \beta_B \gamma_C \delta_{D)} \; \rho_1^A \rho_1^B \rho_1^C i^D = 0 $
or
$\rho_{1(A} \rho_{2B} \gamma_C \delta_{D)} \; \rho_1^A \rho_1^B \rho_1^C i^D = 0$
which reduces to
$(\rho_{1A} i^A) (\rho_{2B} \rho_1^B) (\gamma_C \rho_1^C) (\delta_D \rho_1^D) = 0$
So that at least one of the last two brackets vanish. Say the third bracket vanishes, then $\gamma_A = \lambda_1 \rho_{1A} = \lambda_1 (o_A + b_1 i_A)$.
It is easily shown that with parameter $b = b_2$ we have $\Psi_1 = 0$
$\alpha_{(A} \beta_B \gamma_C \delta_{D)} \; \rho_2^A \rho_2^B \rho_2^C i^D = 0 $
or
$\rho_{1(A} \rho_{2B} \rho_{1C} \delta_{D)} \; \rho_2^A \rho_2^B \rho_2^C i^D = 0$
which reduces to
$(\rho_{1A} \rho_2^A) (\rho_{2B} i^B) (\rho_{1C} \rho_2^C) (\delta_D \rho_2^D) = 0$
So that at least one of the last two brackets vanish. Say the third bracket vanishes, then $\delta_A = \lambda_2 \rho_{2A} = \lambda_2 (o_A + b_2 i_A)$. So now we have that $\Psi_{ABCD} = \alpha_{(A} \beta_B \gamma_C \delta_{D)}$ where the spinors $\alpha_A , \beta_A , \gamma_A , \delta_A$ each represent a principal null direction with two different pairs repeated.
CASE(5) All roots coincide and we have for $b=b_1$ that $\hat{\Psi}_0 = \hat{\Psi}_1 = \hat{\Psi}_2 = \hat{\Psi}_3 = 0$. We have the equations:
$\alpha_{(A} \beta_B \gamma_C \delta_{D)} \; \rho_1^A \rho_1^B \rho_1^C \rho_1^D = 0 \quad Eq 14
\\
\alpha_{(A} \beta_B \gamma_C \delta_{D)} \; \rho_1^A \rho_1^B \rho_1^C i^D = 0 \quad Eq 15
\\
\alpha_{(A} \beta_B \gamma_C \delta_{D)} \; \rho_1^A \rho_1^B i^C i^D = 0 \quad Eq 16 \\
\alpha_{(A} \beta_B \gamma_C \delta_{D)} \; \rho_1^A i^B i^C i^D = 0 \quad Eq 17$
Eq 14 reduces to
$(\alpha_A \rho_1^A) (\beta_B \rho_1^B) (\gamma_C \rho_1^C) (\delta_D \rho_1^D) = 0$
At least one of the brackets vanish, say the first. So that $\alpha_A = \lambda_1 \rho_{1A} = \lambda_1 (o_A + b_1 i_A)$. Eq 15 reduces to
$(\rho_{1A} i^A) (\beta_B \rho_1^B) (\gamma_C \rho_1^C) (\delta_D \rho_1^D) = 0$.
At least one the last three brackets vanish, say the second bracket vanishes. Then $\beta_A = \lambda_1 \rho_{1A} = \lambda_1 (o_a + b_1 i_A)$. Eq 16 reduces to
$(\rho_{1A} i^A) (\rho_{1B} i^B) (\gamma_C \rho_1^C) (\delta_D \rho_1^D) = 0$.
At least one the last two brackets vanish, say the third bracket vanishes. Then $\gamma_A = \lambda_1 \rho_{1A} = \lambda_1 (o_a + b_1 i_A)$. Eq 17 reduces to
$(\rho_{1A} i^A) (\rho_{1B} i^B) (\rho_{1C} i^C) (\delta_D \rho_1^D) = 0$.
The last bracket must vanish, therefore $\delta_A = \lambda_1 \rho_{1A} = \lambda_1 (o_a + b_1 i_A)$. So now we have that $\Psi_{ABCD} = \alpha_{(A} \beta_B \gamma_C \delta_{D)}$ where the spinors $\alpha_A , \beta_A , \gamma_A , \delta_A$ each represent a principal null direction with all four directions coinciding.

Across the Branch: Oh my patience.
So exciting Ash!! Glad you are feeling great!
Little boys can drive you crazy one minute then you want to eat them with a spoon the next. So glad now ya'll get one of each!
Wow those pictures are awesome Ashlee. Happy for all of you!
how wonderful! little boys are the BEST :) congratulations!!!

Though Disney Alice in Wonderland 2 full movie source is not yet out and you may have to wait for a week or so, Alice in Wonderland Though the Looking Glass free download tool and guide are provided here in advance for you to get Alice in Wonderland 2 free downloaded once it hits the internet. But before that, you can free save Alice in Wonderland 2010 if you haven't watched it or free download Alice in Wonderland 2 movie trailers to get a beforehand peep at it. This free Windows 10 compatible Alice 2 movie downloader can free you from signing up for each of those Alice 2 source providers and watch Alice Through the Looking Glass full movie with 100% quality reserved.
Free Download Alice Through the Looking Glass 2016 Disney Movie To free download Alice Through the Looking Glass movie, we suggest you a fast & safe 1080P video downloading mate – 5KPlayer.
Alice in Wonderland 2010 received critical reputation no matter how hard our beloved Tim Burton tried to work on its stunning visuals and how extravagant the starrings are. They still failed to make up the movie's fatal defect – plot. Tagged with comments like "clumsy writing without any special", that film could not reach our expectation and viewers found it difficult to experience any Wonder on that Land.
And it seems without gaining any lesson, this summer, Disney did not change the screenwriter Linda Woolverton to bring up the sequel – Alice in Wonderland 2: Trough the Looking Glass, yet changed the director from Tim Burton to James Bobin. Will there be any luck left for "Alice" in the second round? If so, that would be a true wonder! A blockbuster or a lackbuster? Alice Through the Looking Glass review given by IGN.com only rated 5.5 out of 10, critisizing it as nonsensical with flat characters. You can free download Alice in Wonderland 2016 movie trailers to halve the puzzle.
Rickman provided the voice of Absolem the Caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland 2010 and he also did the voice cast in Alice Through the Looking Glass before his death. It must sound sad and arose many complex feelings when you hear from him again as if he was alive with us. Have you recognized his voice in the trailer?
For true magic, we may prefer Harry Potter's worthy successor – Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them. But before that comes out on Nov 18th, Alice in Wonderland 2 can at least offer some novel, magical and colorful visual ideas. See how theatric Alice is dressed in the film? Mad Hatter, Red Queen, White Queen, Cheshire Cat, Blue Caterpillar, the White Rabbit etc, their gorgeous costums and power can indeed brighten audiances' eyes.
If you have special affections for Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham, Anne Hathaway and of course Andrew Scott (Moriarty)… you do not want to miss this movie no matter how peculiar they seem in Alice Through the Looking Glass. Nice job! The movie again managed to gather the same batch of stars that gain credits for the show.
You may have read the original story, but who hasn't? Therefore, for book readers, we do not recommend you to blend your book-pivot emotions into the adapted films. Regarding a movie as a standalone piece of art is more helpful to keep you from your kind of disappointment. And for Tim Burton fans, Beetlejuice 2 is worth the wait.
As the trailer implies, the Blue Caterpillar grows up and turns into a butterfly to send message to Alice, leading her to go back through the mirror to the Wonderland to save their home. How does that magic clock in the trailer have anything to do with the whole story? Time is a he, a dark villain who once punished Mat Hatter by eternally standing still at 6 pm (tea time). He is now eager to rule the whole world, and Alice takes her friends' stand to help fight back.

The concession of two early tries and two late tries proved costly as Huntingdon were beaten in their penultimate Midlands Division One East fixture of the season.
Damien Whales' youthful side went down 39-17 to third-placed Newbold on Avon at the Racecourse last Saturday.
Much of the damage was done by those scores in the opening 10 minutes and final 10 minutes of the clash. They gave the scoreline a somewhat flattering look for the visitors.
In the hour in between Stags performed well and deservedly got on the scoresheet with tries from Rory Parker and debutant Sam Durnan.
Jack Skidmore did the honours with both conversions and also guided over a penalty.
Sixth-placed Stags' final outing is at home to Northampton Old Scouts this Saturday (3pm) when they stage their President's Day.

Fausto De Stefani (* 11. März 1952 in Asola) ist ein italienischer Extrembergsteiger.

Er ist der sechste Mensch, und der zweite Italiener nach Reinhold Messner, der alle Achttausender der Erde bestiegen hat, was ihm im Zeitraum von 1983 bis 1998 gelang, jedoch nicht generell anerkannt wird.
De Stefani und Sergio Martini behaupteten, 1998 den Lhotse bestiegen zu haben, aber am Tag des Aufstiegs herrschte Sturm und das Gipfelfoto war nicht ausreichend klar und eindeutig. Einige Tage später behauptete ein anderer Bergsteiger, er habe die beiden Italiener vor dem Gipfel anhalten gesehen, so dass De Stefanis Rekord nicht in den offiziellen Listen erscheint.

De Stefani begann das Bergsteigen mit achtzehn Jahren. 1972 wurde er Regional-Ausbilder für Klettern in Fels und Eis für den Italienischen Alpenverein (CAI). Zehn Jahre lang bewegte er sich hauptsächlich in den West- und den Zentralalpen, auf denen er neue Wege öffnete. Neunundzwanzigjährig wurde er 1981 Nationaler Bergsteiger-Ausbilder des CAI.

Seit 1981 war sein Interesse auf Himalaya und Karakorum gerichtet. Sein erster Achttausender war 1983 der K2. Er bestieg nacheinander alle höchsten Gipfel der Welt. Alle Besteigungen, mit Ausnahme der des Everests im Jahr 1996, verwirklichte er im alpinen Stil ohne Gebrauch von zusätzlichem Sauerstoff.

Im Jahr 1988 gehörte er zu den Gründungsmitgliedern der internationalen Vereinigung Mountain Wilderness, für die er seit 1993 international Verantwortlicher ist, und er organisierte die Aktion Free K2, die Beseitigung von Tonnen Abfalls früherer Expeditionen.

Er war auch für verschiedene humanitäre Initiativen in Nepal und anderswo unterwegs. Er ist Umweltschützer und Naturfotograf und hat eine Sammlung von ca. 15.000 Dias, von denen einige in verschiedenen europäischen Städten gezeigt wurden.

 1983 K2 (8611 m)

-include $(DEPS)
.PHONY: clean distclean
clean:
    rm -rf $(OBJS)

Sorry for this long post but i don't understand my mistake :/

A: %.o : %.c
    @echo "Compilation des .c : $<"
    $(CC) $(C_FLAGS) $< -o $(RWK)/$@

There is a problem here: without the -c option, gcc will compile and link. Try with this:
    $(CC) $(C_FLAGS) -c $< -o $(RWK)/$@

Also, it is much more common to have $(CFLAGS) than $(C_FLAGS)

A: I had the same problem.  I had accedentally deleted my main function.  You might check that yours is still there.

A: When compiling single modules only (not linking them), add -c as a compiler parameter to keep it from linking the c/c++ runtime every time.
When you'd like to get a executable or library file, don't add -c. If you'd like to get a .o file, add -c.


Lee Berg left a tape before he died, where he describes what he saw the day his division liberated the Dachau concentration camp on April 29, 1945.
As a first lieutenant in the 102 Infantry Division of the Army, Berg earned a bronze star following his heroism at the Battle of the Bulge. When the war was over and he got back to his Dallas home with his family, he kept the star and the images of horror locked away until he filmed the tape.
The four-and-a-half-hour tape includes the haunting memories of human misery and torture of the captives' conditions at Dachau.
But Fran Berg said when her father came back he didn't want to discuss his experiences with anyone, at least not until before his death.
Berg is the commissioner with the Texas Holocaust and Genocide Commission. She presented her father's and other liberators' stories at the Texas Liberators: Witness to the Holocaust event Nov. 28.
Berg said the commission was built because they knew there would be many veterans who would tell their stories to their children, but also many like her father who never spoke a word about it. The presentations are designed for people to feel like the liberators are personally speaking to them.
The narratives of 21 Texas Liberators are shared on 21 display panels spread out across campus. The panels include service photos or modern day portraits and a short description of what they witnessed as they entered the Nazi concentration camps.
Not only do the liberators recall what they saw and experienced but also how they have lived with those memories and what they felt were their responsibilities as the men who broke open the gates to the German concentration and death camps.
Gerd Miller's panel includes an excerpt from an interview with Stephen M. Sloan in 2013 where he recalls the conditions at Dachau.
Miller said they wanted to share their food with them but due to their starved lifestyle, a normal meal would be intolerable for them.
"All they got every day — they had these big kettles over fire, and they got, like, a soup that was 90 percent water and cabbage, and some kind of crap in there," he said.
When soldiers arrived at camps, they liberated the prisoners but also cared for the piles of bodies. Ray Buchanan, who is also part of the 21 liberators, shared on one of the panels across campus what his young, curious self saw more than 60 years ago at Dachau.
Megan Horlander, a reference librarian, said she was moved to tears while Berg talked about what she felt after watching her father's tape for the first time.
Liberators at the scene were there to clear the camp by helping the gaunt, desperate prisoners and burying the countless and nameless scattered bodies.
"You think about the victims but you don't ever think about the people who went in there and got them out," Horlander said.
Although the exhibit has been up since Oct. 29 and will continue until Dec. 13, Horlander said most people just walk by the display and don't bother reading the panels. She said Berg's presentation was emotional and powerful and something people can't turn their eyes away from.
The commission partnered with Texas Tech University and Baylor University's Institute for Oral History to develop an app, a book and a website for the Texas Liberator Project. These mediums are designed to provide easy and engaging access to the narratives.
According to their honor roll list, about 425 liberators were from Texas.
Berg said her father suffered from nightmares after returning from the war, and she never got to see his optimistic, carefree side. When she learned about his and other liberators' stories and talked to their children, she realized they all shared the consequences of World War II.
"Because of their experiences in World War II, they wanted us to be better people, but didn't know how to use their words to say it," she said.
With tears in her eyes Berg took out a letter her rabbi wrote to her father. According to Berg, her father wrote a letter to the rabbi while liberating Dachau. He tried to put into words what he was experiencing so that people in America would know the extreme conditions in Germany.
Academic enrichment coordinator Danae Bass said learning about history this way helps encourage students to be involved in their community and become global leaders. She said she felt lucky that the commission worked with Eastfield and brought the materials and the presentation at no cost.
Berg ended the presentation by asking guests to remember veterans and thank them and to avoid ostracizing people who are alone, speak a different language, practice a different religion or have different looks.
Having empathy and being informed about what is happening around the world helps students create a change in their communities and work with others, she said.
Berg said talking about the painful memories helped veterans like her father, and this type of conversation creates empathy. The commission wants to motivate students to be upstanders and speak out about violence and discrimination, she said.

Many Faces 2013
The Hoya
The Hoya 2014
Siena Simmons
COL '16
Hometown: Oahu, Hawaii
Major: Neurobiology
What do you do on campus?
One of my biggest things is an NSO coordinator — that's kind of been my baby for a while. We're three sophomores and three juniors. I also just got into GERMS, so right now I'm considered a "probey," or probationary member. Eventually, I want to be a driver. I am terrified of vomit, so I was like, "Nope, not doing GERMS, because people are going to throw up on me!" But I think doing GERMS is also helping me, considering I'm pre-med and I'm going to be placed into that environment very soon. I am also in running club. I love running club with all my heart; that's where I found my best friends and future roommates. But it's something that you can put as much time and effort as you want to into it. Last semester, I was pretty involved, but it's something that I can step back from when I need to.
Can you comment on the party culture at Georgetown?
Having a lot of friends that go to state schools, I find it's not as intense at Georgetown as it could be. I do see some flaws with some exclusivity, attitudes like, "You can only come to this party if you're in this society or club." Other than that, I don't see the party culture as the defining thing about Georgetown. You're never forced to drink; I've never been forced to drink, and it's totally acceptable to go to a party to dance and have a good time without consuming alcohol.
What do you like most about Georgetown?
I like the community aspect. I've been able to find a lot of different friend groups and I have things in common with each of them. I find that people will embrace different things that I like.
What are your plans after Georgetown?
I know what I want to do now. Coming in, I thought I would do Georgetown for four years and then go straight to med school. But after going on ASB, I want to take off two years to teach — I'm an education minor, so it plays into that. I want to take off some time because school does burn you out, and then I'll be ready to go on to med school and go from there. I want to study either pediatric neurology or pediatric oncology.
Do you feel you fit in at Georgetown?
At first, I really didn't as a freshman. I am African American, but it wasn't something that I had ever embraced. Unless you're a military family, you don't really encounter many others in Hawaii, and coming here, I was really scared, because there's all of these people very passionate about their culture, and I had no idea where I would fit in and if I should try. As the year went on, I decided that doing that maybe wasn't for me, that maybe I didn't have to force it. I fit in in my own sense. I'm comfortable where I am, and the people I hang out are comfortable with who I am, so I fit in in that sense.
How did you pick Georgetown?
I applied the day before the application was due. I was not looking at Georgetown at all until my adviser and my dad told me to try. I didn't think I was going to get in, but because I was applying to Princeton and other top-notch schools, I figured I may as well. It appealed to me because it was far from Hawaii and I wanted to get away, and it was decently sized. In terms of choosing to actually go to Georgetown, I got waitlisted everywhere except here and the University of Oregon. That really did simplify things.
Where are you from? Compare and contrast it to Georgetown. Where are you more comfortable?
I'm from Hawaii, so the biggest change for me was the weather. I had come to the mainland a lot during Christmas break, so I had seen snow before, but just being in the cold for so long was something I was not used to. It definitely affected my mood at times; I was so tired that by the time February came around in freshman year. I also find the mentality of the people different here — everyone is fast paced and fast moving, whereas in Hawaii, it's really chill, "let's go to the beach." But I think I fit more into this culture than I did back home.
What would you change about yourself?
I think I would change the fact that I am always pushing. I guess if you think about it in terms of running, even if I'm injured I will keep pushing, and that's not good for me. In terms of life, even if I know I'm not getting enough sleep and not taking enough care of myself, I keep pushing until it's done.
If you could lead a protest on one thing, what would it be?
The use of the word "retarded." My brother is autistic. It's very disrespectful and it affects people who are disabled, even if you are slightly mentally disabled. My brother can't communicate it to me all the time, but I know he knows he's different, and he's somewhat hurt by people's shameless use of that word.
What's your favorite word?
Facetious. I just like to say it. In eighth grade, when I first learned that word, all the middle school boys were like "fa-she-shous" — it's a funny memory.

Our Own Bryon Crump is named to 40 Under 40
2015 Feb 21, 10:58am
Designation Honors the Best in Business in the St. Louis Region
We're very excited to announce that our very own, Bryon Crump, was recently named one of the St. Louis Business Journal's 40 Under 40. Out of more than 750 nominations, Bryon was selected to be a member of an elite group of 40 individuals under the age of 40 who are distinguishing themselves in the business community in St. Louis.
The Business Journal was particularly impressed with Bryon's dedication to the community. With more than 20 years of service in St. Louis and its surrounding areas, Bryon's contribution to the city's manufacturing sector goes virtually unmatched.
Bryon is a proud member of the Institute of Packaging Professionals and part of the Sustainable Packaging Technical committee, and is most proud of his work with the Down Syndrome Association of Greater St. Louis.
Bryon will be featured in the February 13 issue of the St. Louis Business Journal.


From my wife's point of view, the sweetest fruit from cord-cutting so far is the hugely upgraded setup in the kitchen with a new LG 24″ TV and a TiVo Mini. All the upgrades were financed by our savings so far from cutting the cord.
A couple of months ago, we were both hanging out with a friend in his swimming pool, and the conversation turned to cord-cutting (yes, he is actually interested in the topic).
He was playfully evangelizing to completely get out of the analog tube TV business, having recently recycled his own stock of CRT monitors, old computers, etc. I had resisted his anti-tube pitch in the past.
Nine years ago, I had set up an X10 sender/receiver pair to transmit from the den to the kitchen's 13″ tube TV so that Gaye could watch and control her recorded "General Hospital" shows in the kitchen while she cooked.
But now, Gaye has her TiVo Roamio OTA in the den, and it's going to stay. I reminded myself that by getting a TiVo Mini in the kitchen, we could replace the 13″ tube with a larger flatscreen.
The TiVo Mini connects directly with the Roamio by Ethernet wire. Another option would have been to use MoCA (Media over Coax) adapters, but our kitchen is close enough to the den for us to use a long Ethernet cable.
The Mini can play any of the DVR recordings stored on the Roamio, or show you live TV by borrowing one of the Roamio's four tuners and sharing its antenna. Like its larger sibling, it can play Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu Plus if you are subscribed.
New features on TiVo this year: Pandora, iHeart Radio, and great for us, Plex.
The remotes pair with their respective TiVo devices. I used our Brother P-touch label maker to keep them from getting mixed up.
By operating on radio frequency (RF), you don't need to point them or even be in the same room as their respective TiVos. They can also control with infrared (IR) pulses like most remotes, so I am able to teach my IR-emitting X10 Universal 5-in-1 Learning Remote.
We still have the X10 setup in our workout room with a 1983 tube TV that still looks as good as it did in the 80s.
Early 80s "8's The Place" promo on an early 80s TV.
We also recycled the 1989 tube TV in our bedroom that had gotten zapped by the lightning strike two months ago. It was replaced by a new 32″ LG TV hooked to the Winegard FlatWave amplified flat indoor antenna we already had in there.
All these improvements fell on and around our wedding anniversary.
13th wedding anniversary gifts are supposed to be lace, textiles, or furs.
We have other adapters in the office (plugged into the router, which is connected to the cable modem), the theater room and the den. All those rooms have internet and are connected with each other. A wife-pleasing move, and again I avoid the need for whole-house Ethernet wiring.
Big thanks to eBay seller yes-embiz. I had ordered two refurbished Netgear XAVB2101 Powerline adapters after the lightning strike. I couldn't get one of them to work. yes-embiz replaced it promptly.
Moca adapters work great too. My current home I wired with Cat6 and I use my network for the Tivo Roamio and Mini's. My dad's home doesn't have access to pull new wire, so I went with moca adapters for his OTA Roamio and Mini. I also added an extra moca adapter to the office for his computer. Works great and piggy backs on the in house Coax with the cable internet.
Those Roamios are great, aren't they? I went with the OTA, not knowing if it would take with my wife. If I had known it would, I might have stepped up to a model that included the MoCA connectivity without extra expenditure. But somewhat to my surprise, the Powerline connection is working out well.
The Roamios with built in Moca are cable only.
I bought the Roamio Basic on sale for my mom back in March, when the DTV PalDvr I had given her began acting up. I surprised myself as I really liked the Roamio. In the past I wasn't a fan of the Tivo UI. I bought a second Roamio Basic for myself and then a Mini. Both of these are OTA only. A few weeks later while talking to my dad, he was having reception problems at his winter condo in Las Vegas, so I decided to get a 3rd Roamio Basic for him, then he could try it with OTA or get a basic cable package with locals only from Cox while he was out there. It ended up OTA didn't improve and I was surprised Cox offered us Las Vegas locals for $9.99 a month with a free cable card. He and my stepmom fell in love the Roamio and when they got back to Oklahoma, they wanted one for OTA here.
I do wish I had waited a few months as the Tivo summer sale is going on right now and one can get a Roamio OTA w/lifetime or a Refurb Roamio Basic w/lifetime for $299 direct from Tivo. I could have saved a couple of hundred on the first couple of Roamio boxes.
Yeah, I love the Plex addition, since I already have a couple of PCs set up as Plex servers. Also like that iHeart Radio has my favorite jazz station, KKJZ (K-JAZZ). Pandora is handy, too.
I just looked at the WDTV today, but concluded that Plex would work better for me.
I'm leaving off the hard drive upgrade, since my wife can't watch all the shows she has recorded now.
The $15/mo is well worth it to me, because I think she would have been dissatisfied with other DVRs, and then we would be saving no $$ at all!
Re the summer sale, I guess you have to buy sometime (I did in late January). The OTA had no lifetime deal then. But who knows what deals will be coming in the next year or two?
The kitchen TiVo Mini worked out so well, we got one for the theater room. Used another long ethernet cable to attach it to the Roamio's gigabit switch, same as the other Mini.
The Powerline adapter in the kitchen couldn't reliably carry the full load of video, so I returned to the Ethernet cable.
The antenna on the roof is now effectively serving 3 rooms! The Mini is a great way to leverage our investments in both the TiVo Roamio OTA and the Mohu Sky 60 antenna.
