French Researchers:

Hitler Really Did Die In The Bunker In 1945

May 21, 2018

NPR

A new forensic study of remains

jealously guarded by Russian intelligence

for seven decades has determined with certainty

what historians have always assumed –

with World War II irredeemably lost by Germany,

Adolf Hitler did in fact kill himself at his Berlin bunker

on April 30, 1945.

Poisonous Algae Blooms

Threaten People,

Ecosystems Across U.S.


August 29, 2016

4:21 PM ET

NPR

(...) As for the threat the algae outbreaks pose,

water districts carefully screen for toxins in drinking water.

It's boaters and swimmers who are most at risk.

Discovery Bay,

a community about 60 miles east of San Francisco,

is normally buzzing with boats and personal watercraft.

But this year, the waterfront has been eerily still for weeks.

On a recent day,

Dave Holmes watches with disgust

as his white speedboat and blue kayak bob

in mucky green water.

"We've been here since 2002," Holmes says.

"It is by far the worst we've ever seen."

Down the street,

another Discovery Bay resident regrets

diving into the water in mid-July.

Wade Hensley ended up in the hospital

because his body went numb from the waist down.

It's still numb.

"And, it was about three days of swimming.

Not constant, but in and out.

And they can't pinpoint exactly what it is," Hensley says.

But, county health officials did find microcystin

— one of several toxins produced by algae —

in Discovery Bay.

More typical symptoms are dizziness,

rashes, fever and vomiting.

Prosecute Torturers and Their Bosses

 

DEC. 21, 2014

By THE EDITORIAL BOARD

The Opinion Pages

Editorial

Since the day President Obama took office,

he has failed to bring to justice anyone responsible

for the torture of terrorism suspects —

an official government program conceived and carried out

in the years after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

He did allow his Justice Department to investigate

the C.I.A.’s destruction of videotapes of torture sessions

and those who may have gone beyond the torture techniques

authorized by President George W. Bush.

But the investigation did not lead to any charges being filed,

or even any accounting of why they were not filed.

Compassion for Cheney

as Victim Heads Home

February 18, 2006

The New York Times

By RICK LYMAN

CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex., Feb. 17

— Declaring that "accidents do and will happen,"

the 78-year-old man who was shot by Vice President Dick Cheney

at a weekend quail hunt emerged from the hospital here Friday

looking tanned, cheery, robust and speckled with bruises.

The patient, Harry M. Whittington, an Austin lawyer and well-known figure in the state's Republican Party, thanked his doctors, praised the news media and expressed sorrow that the whole incident had become such a political flashpoint for the vice president.

"This past weekend encompassed all of us in a cloud of misfortune and sadness that is not easy to explain, especially to those who are not familiar with the great sport of quail hunting," Mr. Whittington said.

"My family and I are deeply sorry for all that Vice President Cheney and his family have had to go through this past week," he added.

Dressed in a dark suit, white shirt and gold tie, with only a few scratches and purplish blotches visible above his crisp collar, Mr. Whittington walked out of the hospital and spoke for slightly more than three minutes, taking no questions.

He neither recounted what happened late last Saturday afternoon on the Armstrong Ranch, in Kenedy County to the south, nor revealed any new details about the shooting. Instead, he insisted — as the vice president and others in the hunting party have, and as the local county sheriff has since ruled — that it had simply been an accident.

"We all assume certain risks in whatever we do, whatever activities we pursue, and regardless of how experienced, careful and dedicated we are,"

Mr. Whittington said, "accidents do and will happen,

and that's what happened."

TV violence does make your child aggressive

Daily Mail

JENNY HOPE

Parents should keep violent or sexually-explicit films and computer games locked away from their children, just as they would prescription drugs or bleach, doctors warn.

The call came after research confirmed watching screen violence can have a 'substantial' effect on youngsters, making them more likely to become aggressive or fearful.

Experts said allowing a child to see images intended for adults could be regarded as 'emotional maltreatment'.

They suggested parents keep such films and games out of reach of the under-11s,

just as they would other dangerous items, and be aware of what their children are watching on television.

Straw: We did know of Africa coup

The British government knew about the alleged plot to overthrow the President of Equatorial Guinea at least five weeks before a group of mercenaries was arrested in March for planning the coup.

In a dramatic admission, the Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw, confirmed that the government had been 'informed' of the alleged coup plot 'in late January 2004'. On 7 March a group of mercenaries, led by an Old Etonian and former SAS officer, Simon Mann, was arrested in Zimbabwe. They were charged with plotting a putsch.

Straw's disclosure is the latest twist in a remarkable tale that has dragged in several high-profile figures. In August, Sir Mark Thatcher, the son of the former British Prime Minister, was arrested in South Africa after being accused of helping to finance the coup to remove President Obiang. He faces criminal charges that he broke the country's anti-mercenary laws. Thatcher denies any knowledge or involvement in the plot.

Chimps have language.

They can, and do, communicate with humans.

There is a linguist chimp called Nim Chimpsky

with a vocabulary of 125 signs,

all used correctly. Chimps can solve problems, use tools

and when they lose their teeth,

even improvise a makeshift food blender.

Two observers have now claimed to see chimps in the wild

leaving each other "notes".

Separate groups of chimpanzees

have different ways of doing things,

and pass these ways on through the generations:

that is, chimpanzees have culture,
