Sappho:















Final Joke of the Day:

A farmer married an attractive woman half his age. After several months on the farm, she complained that she had never climaxed during sex; and according to her Grandma, all farm wives are entitled to climax once in a while.
There being no doctor nearby, the farmer took his young wife to see a large-animal Vet.

The Vet didn't have a clue, but he did recall how, during the hot summer, his Mum and Dad would fan a cow that was having any difficulty birthing a calf to cool her down and make her struggles easier. So,the Vet told them to hire a strong, virile, young man to wave a towel over them while they were having sex.This, the Vet said, would cause the young wife to climax.

So the couple hired a strong, healthy young man from the big city to wave a towel over them as the Vet suggested. After many efforts, still no climax. They went back to the Vet.

The Vet said for the two men to change places. The young man would have sex with the wife while the farmer waved the towel.
They tried it that night and Lena went into wild, ear-splitting climaxes, one after the other. When it was over, the farmer smugly looked down at the young city man and said,

"Ya see, city slicker, now THAT'S how you wave a towel!"

Historical Events and Geography Lessons of the Day:















 
Today is Independence Day in
Latvia.

People's Council of Latvia (Tautas Padome) proclaimed independence of the new country in Riga on November 18th 1918.

Latvia, officially the Republic of Latvia (Latvian: Latvijas Republika) is a country in the Baltic region of Northern Europe. It is bordered to the north by Estonia, to the south by Lithuania, to the east by the Russian Federation and to the southeast by Belarus. Across the Baltic Sea to the west lies Sweden. The territory of Latvia covers 64,589 km2 (24,938 sq mi) and it has a temperate seasonal climate. The capital and largest city is Riga.







Latvia is derived from the regional name Latgale, the "Lat-" part associated with several Baltic hydronyms, and -gale meaning "land" or "boundary land", of Baltic origin.

Latvia has a parliamentary form of government.

The national flag of Latvia was used by independent Latvia from 1918 until the country was occupied by the Soviet Union in 1940. Its use was suppressed during Soviet rule. After regaining its independence, Latvia re-adopted on February 27, 1990 the same red-white-red flag. Though officially adopted in 1922, the Latvian flag was in use as early as the 13th century. The red color is sometimes described as symbolizing the readiness of the Latvians to give the blood from their hearts for freedom and their willingness to defend their liberty. An alternative interpretation, according to one legend, is that a Latvian leader was wounded in battle, and the edge of the white sheet in which he was wrapped were stained by his blood. The white stripe may stand for the sheet that wrapped him. This story is similar to the legend of the origins of the flag of Austria.

 

 
Today is Independence Day in
Morocco.

Morocco broke free from years of French colonial rule with the return of King Mohammed V in 1956 from his exile in Madagascar and Corsica. On November 18th 1956, King Mohammed V proclaimed Morocco’s independence and from then on this day is celebrated in Morocco with much pomp and fervor.

Morocco, officially the Kingdom of Morocco, is an Arab country located in North Africa with a population of nearly 32 million and an area just under 447,000 square kilometres (173,000 sq mi). Morocco has a coast on the Atlantic Ocean that reaches past the Strait of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean Sea. It is bordered by Algeria to the east, Spain to the north (a water border through the Strait and land borders with three small Spanish enclaves, Ceuta, Melilla, and Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera), and Western Sahara to the south. Rabat is the capital and Casablanca (nicknamed Caza by the locals) is Morocco's largest city and chief port.

Morocco comes from Marruecos, the Spanish pronunciation of the name of the city of "Marrakesh" (more precisely Marrakush), believed to derive from the Berber words (ta)murt: "land" (or (a)mur "part") + akush: "God". Al Maghrib (Arabic name): "the farthest west".

Morocco is a de jure constitutional monarchy with an elected parliament.



The flag of Morocco is made of a red field with a black-bordered green interwoven star. Red has considerable historic significance in Morocco, proclaiming the descent of the royal family from the Prophet Muhammad via Fatima, the wife of Ali, the fourth Caliph. Red is also the color that was used by the Sherifs of Mecca and the Imams of Yemen. From the 17th century on, when Morocco was ruled by the Alaouite Dynasty, the flags of the country were plain red. In 1915, during the reign of Mulay Yusuf, the green Seal of Solomon was added to the national flag. The Seal is an interlaced pentangle, used as a symbol in occult law for centuries. While Morocco was under French and Spanish control, the red flag with the seal in the center remained in use- but only inland. Its use at sea was prohibited. When independence was restored in 1956, it once again became the national flag.

 

 
Today is Army Day in
Haiti.

Haiti, officially the Republic of Haiti (République d'Haïti), is a Creole- and French-speaking Caribbean country. Along with the Dominican Republic, it occupies the island of Hispaniola, in the Greater Antillean archipelago. Ayiti (Land of high mountains) was the indigenous Taíno or Amerindian name for the mountainous western side of the island. The country's highest point is Pic la Selle, at 2,680 metres (8,793 ft). The total area of Haiti is 27,750 square kilometres (10,714 sq mi) and its capital and largest city is Port-au-Prince.







Haiti is derived from Taíno/Arawak Indian, Hayiti or Hayti, meaning "mountainous land", originally Hayiti. The name derives from the mountainous and hilly landscape of the western half of the island of Hispaniola. Hispaniola (name of the island shared by Haiti and the Dominican Republic) — a Latinization of the Spanish name La Española, meaning "The Spanish (island)", a name given to the island by Colombus in 1492.

The flag of Haiti was adopted on February 25, 1987. The flag is divided into two rectangles going across horizontally. The top half is blue and the bottom is red. Since 1843 the flag for official and state use has had the coat of arms of Haiti on a white panel in the center. The coat of arms depicts a trophy of weapons ready to defend freedom, and a royal palm for independence. The palm is topped by the Cap of Liberty. The national motto is on a white scroll reading L'Union Fait La Force ("Unity Makes Strength"). The civil flag and ensign lacks the emblem.

The blue and red of the flag were retained after a French Tricolore was torn up by the revolutionary Jean-Jacques Dessalines in 1803. The two parts were stitched together horizontally to make a new flag.

Final Jokes of the Day:

A guy went into a bar and met a nice girl. They have a few drinks and soon wound up at his place, in bed.

They're having a great time. She was on top when suddenly she had an epileptic seizure she was shaking and foaming at the mouth. Our uninformed male thought this was incredible best sex he'd ever had. He finished, but she is still shaking and thrashing about with her seizure.

He began to get nervous and took her to the emergency room. A nurse asked what the girl's problem was, and he replied, "Er.... I think her orgasm is stuck!"


 

A mortician was laying out the body of a man with an unbelievably long penis.

He called in his receptionist to show her.

She took one look and said, "It's just like my husband's penis."

"Wow, you mean he's got one that long?" the mortician asked.

"No," she replied. "It's that soft and dead."

Historical Event and Geography Lesson of the Day:














 Today is Oklahoma Admission Day. The Sooner State became the 46th state of the union on this date in 1907. Oklahoma is a state located in the South Central region of the United States of America.









Oklahoma is the 28th most populous and 20th-largest state. The state's name is derived from the Choctaw words okla and humma, meaning "red people" and is known informally by its nickname, The Sooner State. Oklahoma was formed from a combination of Oklahoma and Indian Territories, now the eastern portion of the state of Oklahoma.





During the 19th century, thousands of Native Americans were removed from their ancestral homelands from across North America and transported to the area including and surrounding present-day Oklahoma.

The most prominent nations displaced by the American removal policy were "The Five Civilized Tribes" in the South (the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muscogee-Creek, and Seminole). These forced relocations came to be collectively known as the Trail of Tears. Many of these Native Americans suffered and died from exposure, disease, and starvation while en route from their homes east of the Mississippi River to their new destinations. Out of nearly 17,000 Choctaw, an estimated 2,500 - 6,000 died during their relocation trek in the bitter winter of 1831. Of the 15,000 displaced Cherokee who were relocated in 1838, approximately 4,000 perished.





 (The Trail of Tears painted by Robert Lindneux)

For the record, although most white Americans favored the passage of President Andrew Jackson's Indian Removal Act, there were some exceptions. Many members of Congress rose to speak in opposition to the measure, most notably New Jersey Senator Theodore Frelinghuysen and Tennessee Congressman Davy Crockett (voicing his opposition on behalf of the Chickasaw from his native Tennessee) were against the Act. Crockett's opposition adversely affected his political career. In part, this resulted in his decision to journey to Texas (ultimately ending with his death at The Alamo).

Oklahoma residents are known as Oklahomans, and its capital and largest city is Oklahoma City.



Usually, land was allocated to settlers on a first come, first served basis. The Oklahoma Land Run of 1889 was the first land run into the Unassigned Lands and included all or part of the modern day Canadian, Cleveland, Kingfisher, Logan, Oklahoma, and Payne counties of Oklahoma.





 The land run had an estimated 50,000 people lined up at the official starting point. At the start of this land rush, which officially commenced at high noon on April 22nd 1889, they all frantically raced across the plains in an attempt to carve out their homestead from the available two million acres.



A number of aliens who participated in the run broke the rules by crossing the border into the territory before it was allowed and hid out until the legal time of entry in order to lay quick claim to some of the most choice homesteads. These people came to be identified as "sooners", which eventually became the state's official nickname, "The Sooner State". This attempted unauthorized land grab led to hundreds of legal contests that arose and were decided first at local land offices and eventually by the U.S. Department of the Interior. Arguments included what constituted the "legal time of entry."

Between the starting time and sundown on April 22nd both Oklahoma City and Guthrie had established cities of around 10,000 people (in literally half a day). And, during that time, streets had been laid out, town lots staked off, and steps taken toward the formation of a municipal government.

The State of Oklahoma Flag consists of a traditional Osage Nation buffalo-skin shield with seven eagle feathers on a sky blue field. The Osage shield is covered by two symbols of peace: the calumet representing Native Americans, and the olive branch representing European Americans. Six golden brown crosses, Native American symbols for stars, are spaced on the shield. The blue field represents the first official flag flown by any Native American Nation, the Choctaw flag of the American Civil War.

Actually titled "They call the Wind Mariah" from the musical Paint Your Wagon, set in Gold Rush-era California. However, this song evokes images of the mid-west to me (Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska), rather than the west coast.

Final Jokes of the Day:

"How often should I plan to have sex?" The young bridegroom asked his grandfather on his wedding night.

Grandpa said, "When you're first married, you want it all the time, maybe several times a day. Later on, sex tapers and you have it maybe once a week or so. Then, as you get older, you have sex maybe once a month. When you get really old, you are lucky to have it once a year maybe on your anniversary."

"Well, how about you and grandma now?" The younger man asked.

Grandpa replied, "Oh, we just have oral sex now."

"What's oral sex?" The young bridegroom asked.

"Well", said Grandpa, "She goes to bed in her bedroom, I go to bed in my bedroom. She yells, SCREW YOU, and I holler back, SCREW YOU TOO."


 

After she woke up, a woman told her husband, "I just had a dream that you gave me the most beautiful diamond necklace. What do you think it means?"

"You'll know tonight." he said with a smile.

The woman could hardly think of anything else all day and she couldn't wait for her husband to return home.

That evening, the man finally came home with a small package and gave it to his wife.

Delighted, she opened it excitedly to find a book entitled... "The Meaning of Dreams"

Final Joke of the Day:

Sheila, the Aussie housewife, got out of the shower and slipped on the bathroom floor tiles.

Instead of falling over forwards or backwards, she did the splits and suction-cupped herself to the floor.

She yelled out for her husband, "Bruce! Bruce!" Bruce came running in.

"Bruce, I've suctioned myself to the floor," she said.

"S'truth," Bruce said, and tried to pull her up. "You're stuck fast girl! I'll go across the road and get my mate Liam."

They came back and they both tried to pull her up. "No way, we can't do it," Liam said, "so let's try Plan B."

"Plan B," exclaimed Bruce, "what's that?" "I'll go home and get my hammer and chisel and we'll break the tiles under her," replied Liam.

"Spot on," Bruce said, "while you're doing that, I'll stay here and play with her nipples."

"Play with her nipples?," Liam said, "Not exactly a good time for that, mate!"

"No," Bruce replied, "but I reckon if I can get her wet enough, we can slide her into the kitchen where the tiles are less expensive."

Reconstruction


The North may have won the Civil War but the South won the war of Reconstruction


Reconstruction is the era in the U.S. history from 1863 to 1877, when the U.S. focused on abolishing slavery, destroying all traces of the Confederacy, establishing the rights of Freedmen (the name used for freed slaves), and through three new constitutional amendments - the Thirteenth Amendment banning slavery; the Fourteenth Amendment banning race-based voting qualifications; and the Fifteenth Amendment which prohibits denying a citizen the right to vote (strengthening the role of the federal governments and its courts). Reconstruction policies were debated in the North as soon as the war started, and began in earnest after the Emancipation Proclamation, issued on January 1, 1863, and the federal occupation of major parts of southern states allowed the formation of new, loyal state governments. President Abraham Lincoln was the major policymaker until his death in April, 1865. Reconstruction began in each state as soon as federal troops controlled most of the state. It ended at different times in different states. The Compromise of 1877 saw the collapse of the last three Republican state governments in the South, so 1877 is the usual date given for the end of Reconstruction, although some historians extend the era to the 1890s. The bitterness and repercussions from the heated conflicts of the era lasted well into the 20th century. "Reconstruction" is also the term used in textbooks for the history of the entire U.S. 1865-1877.


The 11 confederate states readmitted back into the Union were:

Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana and Virginia. These 11 states had not yet been readmitted when Andrew Johnson took office.


All southern states except Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia, readmitted to Congress in June 1868. These former confederate states (not yet readmitted by 1868) did not participate in that election. In 1870 Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia were readmitted.


July 24th 1866 -Tennessee was the 1st
June 22nd 1868 - Arkansas was the 2nd
June 25th 1868 - Florida was the 3rd
June 25th 1868 - Alabama was the 4th
June 25th 1868 - Louisiana was the 5th
June 25th 1868 - North Carolina was 6th
June 25th 1868 - South Carolina was 7th
(June 25th 1868 - GEORGIA FIRST readmittance)
December 22nd 1869 - Second reconstruction for Georgia began(Kicked OUT !)
January 27th 1870 - Virginia was the 8th
February 23rd 1870 - Mississippi was the 9th
March 30th 1870 - Texas was the 10th

Mar. 30, 1870 - The 15th Amendment is added to the Constitution.

July 15th 1870 - GEORGIA READMITTED AGAIN - Georgia was the 11th and last Confederate state to be readmitted back into the Union.




The United States government has never recognized the right of states to secede, and considers the states to never have left the union during the American Civil War. The states were required to agree to Reconstruction before being permitted to send representatives to Congress again.




 Religious Stuff






























The Creation:










 The Crusades:

The Crusades were a series of Holy Wars launched by the Christian states of Europe against the Saracens. The term 'Saracen' was the word used to describe a Moslem during the time of the Crusades.




The Crusades started in 1095 when Pope Claremont preached the First Crusade at the Council of Claremont. The Pope's preaching led to thousands immediately affixing the cross to their garments - the name Crusade given to the Holy Wars came from old French word 'crois' meaning 'cross'. The Crusades were great military expeditions undertaken by the Christian nations of Europe for the purpose of rescuing the holy places of Palestine from the hands of the Mohammedans. They were eight in number, the first four being sometimes called the Principal Crusades, and the remaining four the Minor Crusades.




In addition there was a Children's Crusade. There were several other expeditions which were insignificant in numbers or results.




CONSEQUENCES AND CONCLUSION OF THE CRUSADES:


When judged by narrow military standards, the Crusades were a failure. What was gained so quickly was slowly but steadily lost. On the other hand, to hold territory under a Christian banner so far from home, given the contemporary conditions of transport and communication, was impressive. The taking of Constantinople during the Fourth Crusade had been just short of fatal to the Byzantine Empire, and it cast a blemish on the movement in the West, where there were critics of the whole concept of armed Crusades. While Constantinople was not taken by the Turks until 1453, the Byzantine Empire after the Fourth Crusade was but a shell of its former self.


For many years, scholars were inclined to give the Crusades credit for making Western Europe more cosmopolitan. They believed the Crusades had brought Western Europe higher standards of Eastern medicine and learning, Greek and Muslim culture, and such luxuries as silks, spices, and oranges. Extreme statements of this view held that the Crusades brought Europe out of the provincialism of the Dark Ages.


Scholars no longer accept this assessment. It is too simple. It ignores the larger trends of population growth, expanding trade, and the exchange of ideas and cultures that existed long before 1095. These trends would have encouraged East-West exchange without military expeditions or the taking of Jerusalem. The Crusades, while an exciting and integral part of the Middle Ages, merely served to hasten changes that were inevitable.


One of the most important effects of the Crusades was economic. The Italian cities prospered from the transport of Crusaders and replaced Byzantines and Muslims as merchant-traders in the Mediterranean. Trade passed through Italian hands to Western Europe at a handsome profit. This commercial power became the economic base of the Italian Renaissance. It also provoked such Atlantic powers as Spain and Portugal to seek trade routes to India and China. Their efforts, through such explorers as Vasco da Gama and Christopher Columbus, helped to open most of the world to European trade dominance and colonization and to shift the center of commercial activity from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic.


A second more lasting effect is the poor relationship between Muslims and Christians. Even today, the mere mention of the word "Crusade" makes Muslims fearful. Finding a common middle ground between Islam and Christianity remains difficult and seemingly elusive.
