WHERE DID HUGH COME FROM? by Margaret Amundson
WHERE DID HUGH COME FROM? By Margaret Amundson In the past, several different family historians have offered theories explaining where they thought Hugh was from in Europe. One such theory was advanced by the Reverend French Forrest, a descendant of Hugh's in answer to a Richmond Times Dispatch weekly genealogy column, popular at the turn of the last century.1[1] He said in the article the Frenches were from Rosscommon County, Ireland. Rudimentary attempts have been made to prove or disprove this theory, without results. Others have advanced the theory that he was related somehow to the George Mason family and point to the use of Mason as a given name, in the French family and French in the Mason family, as evidence of this relationship. Certainly the George Mason of Gunston Hall Family, clearly had a reason for using French as a given name. George1 Mason's mother was Ann French. His first wife is said to have been Mary French. There is evidence she was named Mary,2[2] however, nowhere is there a record that identifies her as nee French. This theory was probably advanced long before the authors of The Five George Masons, discovered the record in England showing Ann French married George1 Mason's father. Thomas Mason, his father, was a yeoman farmer in the village of Pershore, in the Vale of Eveshame, Worcestershire, England.3[3] No creditable evidence establishing a kinship tie between these two families has been found.4[4] There was not the web of interconnecting relationships typical of community structure between this Mason and French family. -
Amnesty International Communiqué De Presse
AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE Embargo : 23 avril 2007 14h00 TU Des dirigeants, des célébrités et des journalistes appellent les gouvernements à établir un Traité sur le commerce des armes, pour sauver des vies humaines Campagnes Contrôlez les armes : Oxfam International, Amnesty International et le Réseau d’action international sur les armes légères (RAIAL) New York. Trois personnalités féminines soutenant la campagne pour contrôler le commerce international des armes --- la présidente libérienne, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, l’actrice Helen Mirren, titulaire d’un Oscar et l’ancienne présidente irlandaise, Mary Robinson --- ainsi que 20 journalistes célèbres, ont demandé ce lundi 23 avril aux gouvernements d’établir un traité strict sur le commerce des armes, fondé sur le droit international humanitaire et relatif aux droits humains, afin de cesser les transferts d’armes qui entretiennent les conflits et la violence dans le monde. Les gouvernements ont officiellement jusqu’à la fin du mois pour soumettre leurs projets de traité au Secrétaire général des Nations unies. Si ces propositions ne mentionnent pas explicitement l’interdiction des transferts d’armes qui aggravent les conflits, la pauvreté et les atteintes aux droits humains, il existe un risque réel que le traité qui en résultera ne puisse sauver aucune vie, selon les partisans de la campagne. Il est à craindre que des gouvernements sceptiques, comme les États-Unis, tentent d’empêcher l’adoption d’un traité strict. L’actrice Helen Mirren a déclaré : « Du Kenya au Brésil et au Sri Lanka, il y a plus d’armes que jamais, plus faciles et moins chères à obtenir. -
North, Iran-Contra, and the Doomsday Project the Original
The following is reproduced with permission of the author from its source at: http://japanfocus.org/-Peter_Dale-Scott/3491 Additional links and annotations provided by David Ratcliffe. North, Iran-Contra, and the Doomsday Project: The Original Congressional Cover Up of Continuity- of-Government Planning by Peter Dale Scott The Asia-Pacific Journal Vol 9, Issue 8 No 1 21 February 2011 If ever the constitutional democracy of the United States is overthrown, we now have a better idea of how this is likely to be done. That may be the most important contribution of the recent Iran-contra congressional hearings. —Theodore Draper, “The Rise of the American Junta,” New York Review of Books, October 8, 1987. In 1989 I published the following article, “Northwards without North: Bush, Counterterrorism, and the Continuation of Secret Power.” It is of interest today because of its description of how the Congressional Iran-Contra Committees, in their investigation of Iran-Contra, assembled documentation on what we now know as Continuity of Government (COG) planning, only to suppress or misrepresent this important information in their Report. I was concerned about the committees’ decision to sidestep the larger issues of secret powers and secret wars, little knowing that these secret COG powers, or “Doomsday Project,” would in fact be secretly implemented on September 11, 2011. (One of the two Committee Chairs was Lee Hamilton, later co-chair of the similarly evasive 9/11 Commission Report). Recently I have written about the extraordinary power of the COG network Doomsday planners, or what CNN in 1991 described as a “shadow government…about which you know nothing.”[1] Returning to my 1989 essay, I see the essential but complex overlap between this Doomsday Committee and the Iran-Contra secret “junta” or cabal described by Theodore Draper and Senator Paul Sarbanes within the Reagan-Bush administration. -

Cannabinoids and Endocannabinoid System Changes in Intestinal Inflammation and Colorectal Cancer
cancers Review Cannabinoids and Endocannabinoid System Changes in Intestinal Inflammation and Colorectal Cancer Viktoriia Cherkasova, Olga Kovalchuk * and Igor Kovalchuk * Department of Biological Sciences, University of Lethbridge, Lethbridge, AB T1K 7X8, Canada; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] (O.K.); [email protected] (I.K.) Simple Summary: In recent years, multiple preclinical studies have shown that changes in endo- cannabinoid system signaling may have various effects on intestinal inflammation and colorectal cancer. However, not all tumors can respond to cannabinoid therapy in the same manner. Given that colorectal cancer is a heterogeneous disease with different genomic landscapes, experiments with cannabinoids should involve different molecular subtypes, emerging mutations, and various stages of the disease. We hope that this review can help researchers form a comprehensive understanding of cannabinoid interactions in colorectal cancer and intestinal bowel diseases. We believe that selecting a particular experimental model based on the disease’s genetic landscape is a crucial step in the drug discovery, which eventually may tremendously benefit patient’s treatment outcomes and bring us one step closer to individualized medicine. Abstract: Despite the multiple preventive measures and treatment options, colorectal cancer holds a significant place in the world’s disease and mortality rates. The development of novel therapy is in Citation: Cherkasova, V.; Kovalchuk, critical need, and based on recent experimental data, cannabinoids could become excellent candidates. O.; Kovalchuk, I. Cannabinoids and This review covered known experimental studies regarding the effects of cannabinoids on intestinal Endocannabinoid System Changes in inflammation and colorectal cancer. In our opinion, because colorectal cancer is a heterogeneous Intestinal Inflammation and disease with different genomic landscapes, the choice of cannabinoids for tumor prevention and Colorectal Cancer. -

HARDTACK Indianapolis Civil War Round Table Newsletter
1 HARDTACK Indianapolis Civil War Round Table Newsletter http://indianapoliscwrt.org/ October 8, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. Meeting at Indiana History Center Auditorium 450 West Ohio Street The Plan of the Day “An Irrepressible Conflict”: Civil War Rioting in Cincinnati, 1862 Cincinnati in 1862, lithograph in Harper’s Weekly In July of 1862, Irish workers in Cincinnati rioted to keep black workers from laboring on the docks, and attempted to “clean out” African American residential sections of the city. A precursor to the more infamous New York draft riots of 1863, the violence was triggered by the prospect of a draft and the rumored arming of black soldiers. Fearing that their jobs would be threatened by emancipation and an influx of black workers, immigrant laborers tried to establish themselves as true citizens and African Americans as interlopers. During the Civil War, as at other times in the nation’s history, black men staked their claims to citizenship on their loyal labor and their armed service—not just in federal armies, but in defense of their homes and livelihoods. When black workers organized in self-defense, white Cincinnatians quickly formed militia units in response. This wartime rioting followed patterns of antebellum riots, but the emancipation of African Americans and their military service during the war created a clear turning point in black demands for social citizenship. JOIN US BEFORE THE MEETING AT SHAPIRO’S DELI! All ICWRT members and guests are invited to join us at 5:30 P.M. at Shapiro’s Delicatessen, 808 S. Meridian St. (just south of McCarty Street) before the meeting to enjoy dinner and fellowship. -

Welcome to the Tre Lag Stevne in South Saint Paul, Minnesota. We were last in the Twin Cities area in 2009 in this same location. In a metropolitan area of this size it is not as easy to see the results of the Norwegian immigration as in smaller towns and rural communities. But the evidence is there if you look for it. This year’s speakers will tell the story of the Norwegians who contributed to the richness of American culture through literature, art, architecture, politics, medicine and science. You may recognize a few of their names, but many are unsung heroes who quietly added strands to the fabric of America and the world. We hope to astonish you with the diversity of their talents. Our tour will take us to the first Norwegian church in America, which was moved from Muskego, Wisconsin to the grounds of Luther Seminary,. We’ll stop at Mindekirken, established in 1922 with the mission of retaining Norwegian heritage. It continues that mission today. We will also visit Norway House, the newest organization to promote Norwegian connectedness. Enjoy the program, make new friends, reconnect with old friends, and continue to learn about our shared heritage.
