   On a cold winter's day in January 1939, nine year old Pamela Coventry came home from school for her midday meal as usual and then set off for the walk back to school for her afternoon lessons.  Somewhere along that journey she disappeared and her naked and violated body was found in a ditch the next day. Scotland Yard led the investigation into her murder, and after a couple of weeks 28 year old Leonard Richardson, a married man and father of two young children, was arrested and charged. The South Croydon Poisonings - "How strange are the coincidences which have harmed my family. It has been said that we must have an enemy who has done all this". So said the beguiling Grace Duff as members of her family died one by one. Was she right, or was the truth closer to home?

Chiefs: The Belly Government Council The tribal self-name ʔɔʔɔɔ̋ɔ́niinénnɔh (adapted as A'aninin, Aaniiih, or Haaninin) means "White Clay People".

Muscogee actor Will (Sonny) Sampson, who is most known for his role in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest” playing opposite Jack Nicholson, will be posthumously inducted into the Oklahoma Movie Hall of Fame at the Roxy Theater in Muskogee Oklahoma. "Will was a dear friend, as was his son Tim and sister. Am happy that he is receiving this honor today. I had the privilege to work with Will in the mini-series 'Mystic Warrior' (1984). He gave me advice while working on this series. I was set to have the lead role and Will was to be cast as the medicine man.  What happened was ABC ended up casting the lead role to an Irish actress, dyed her hair black and put contact lenses in and Will's character went to an Italian actor.' Will was a kind man and very supportive of my work. In 1983, he founded the American Indian Registry for the Performing Arts for Native American actors." - Joanelle Romero (RNCI Founder/actress/director/producer) In addition to his incredible

This Woman Should See What's Worn to the Beach Nowadays

This Woman Should See What's Worn to the Beach Nowadays This is a concerning yet amusing sight to see. Well into the 1980s, women wore bikinis to go swimming and tan on the beach; it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. But one lady, in particular, had an issue with that. So on a sunny day in Miami Beach, Florida, this woman decided she had to go down to the beach and make everyone, especially the young ladies there, aware of their fate. What was their fate exactly?  Well, you may have guessed it or not. This lady held a sign while yelling about how they were all doomed and heading straight to hell. Luckily, the beachgoers seemed unphased. "Today, girls dress like boys and young men look like women". Do you find anything significant in this ? When girls dress like boys and young men look like women there is something deeply wrong. Going deeper into the root of this, it maybe worthwhile to note why men and women dress as they do. From simple nakedness into which

The Finnish Club War

The Finnish Club War The Cudgel War broke out on 25 November 1596, in Kyrö, South Ostrobothnia. Sweden was on a war footing in the late 16th century. Taxes fell disproportionally on the peasantry, who in Finland – then under Swedish dominion – had to accept the billeting of troops in their villages. Soldiers were allowed to plunder stocks of food and fodder. Tensions were further inflamed by a dispute for the crown between Sigismund III and his uncle Duke Charles, later Charles IX. In the autumn of 1596 a delegation of peasants petitioned Charles, who saw an opportunity to undermine the king’s marshal in Finland, Klaus Fleming. ‘There are … so many of you that you ought to be able to shake [the soldiers] off’, Charles said, ‘even if armed only with fence posts and clubs.’ The Club War – also known as the Cudgel War – broke out soon after, on 25 November in Kyrö, South Ostrobothnia. The houses of the local gentry were looted. Some were burnt to the ground. In others, the

Soviet 1st Byelorussian Front penetrated the Berlin, Germany suburbs from the east and north. In the city, at the conference at 1500 hours, Adolf Hitler learned that the counterattack he ordered on the previous day was never carried out by SS General Felix Steiner and grew furious; when he was told by Wilhelm Keitel that Soviet tanks were now entering the city, Hitler conceded that the end was near, and decided for certain that he was to remain in Berlin.  The most important papers stored at the bunker were now being burned. On the same day, Albert Speer entered Hitler's bunkers and met with him for the last time before Speer would leave Berlin. Goebbel's Propaganda Ministry was describing Berlin as 'Fortress Berlin'. While the city had been preparing for a siege since January, the defences were still rudimentary and makeshift due to the lack of resources – certainly no match for the forces that were about to assault them but the defending forces could muster almost 90,
