You probably heard about the killing in the Brussels Jewish Museum last week.A suspect has been arrested in France yesterday and it seems that this person is also suspected of having been with Islamists militants in Syria last year.A serious number of "European" jihadists left for Syria and I wouldn't be surprised that soon, very soon, Europe and the old continent will have to face a serious inside islamist threat within its borders.http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-27654505
Difficult to tell, I tried to check and there is no precise breed for it. "the animal belonged to no known breed. Rather, the creature was meant to be the embodiment of an ancient myth about Death’s dog. When Sherlock Holmes’ sidekick, Watson recalled the moment he could check out the animal’s corpse closely, however, he describes the creature as half-mastiff, half-bloodhound."About the St Bernard, Cujo is terrorizing Castel Rock, Maine or you have Neil the martini-slurping in Topper. I wonder which of the two is the scariest!
Interesting. However the article states that Harrison's “key decision he made was to reject the Mercator projection, which had outlived its purpose. Instead, he drew on other projections, such as this one from 1943, centered on the north pole” . However it seems that Gerardus Mercator of Flanders (Belgium), the leading cartographer of the mid-16th century, developed not only a cylindrical projection (1538) but other map projections as well like the polar projection (1595).http://www.henry-davis.com/MAPS/Ren/Ren1/407.html

It seems that the Pinta was the first to sail back to Baiona harbour, near Vigo, in 3 March 1493. What happened to her after is unknown.The Nina returned to Hispaniola in 1498 during Columbus' Third Voyage. Lying in wait at Santo Domingo in 1500 and in 1501 she made a trading voyage to the Pearl Coast, and there is no further information about what happened after.
Physics seem to confirm that theoryhttp://physics.aps.org/synopsis-for/10.1103/PhysRevLett.112.175502
If the U.S. had Vladimir Putin as President instead of the useless goober we have now, what is going on in the Ukraine wouldn't be happening. In a way, I respect Putin more than I do Obama. At least he is a man of action and is making his nation stronger while ours piddle farts around looking for ways to tear our nation down.
Talking about Iraq?
It seems that Rhode Island has always been a bit “special”:- the first of the thirteen colonies to renounce its allegiance to the British Crown, on 4 May 1776.- the last colony of the thirteen colonies to ratify the United States Constitution in 1790, once assurances that a Bill of Rights became part of the Constitution.- the place of Roger Williams where he began Providence Plantation.
