If you love to fish—or would like to give it a try then Marathon might well interest you.  Situated about half way (between the main land and tip of Florida’s peninsula and it’s final destination Key West—really there are more islands beyond Key West, but those can only be reached by sea plane—or a nice boat day trip out of Key West https://www.drytortugas.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAtOjyBRC0ARIsAIpJyGMYRCGmVhNDw0lINCdYTf1jXps42rGbLi1rhUTBy5n93oPyqiWzCUwaAo00EALw_wcB

 

Marathon has long been know for it’s Tarpon fishing which has been described as the hottest fishing in town.  And you don’t need a boat to do it….there’s the East end of the Old Seven Mile Bridge —that is also a great place to view sunset—been there done that—the Bahia Honda Bridge as well.  But don’t be afraid of the smaller bridges like Long and about Duck Key—-but I’d ask first as the natives can tell you where they’re biting and the location of fishing areas and bridge safety for fishing.  Season was April – July but I’m not a fisherman https://myfwc.com/fishing/saltwater/recreational/

Fishing on the Kenai Peninsula

Alaska is one of the premier fishing destinations of the world. With annual salmon runs totaling in the millions, our rivers offer some of the most dynamic and productive fishing to be found.

The Kenai Peninsula is often referred to as “Alaska’s Playground”. Centrally located in the stunning Chugach National Forest, Cooper Landing is an excellent place to set up your home base. We are an easy drive away from the beautiful Kenai Fjords National Park out of Seward or Halibut Fishing in the Cook Inlet. Best of all, we are right in the middle of some of the best trout and salmon fishing waters in the world. The Mighty Kenai River, the Russian River, Quartz Creek and the Kasilof River are all easily accessed from our location.

. PIG SQUEALS WERE A KEY PART OF THE EXORCIST‘S SOUND DESIGN.

Much of Regan’s moaning and grunting were created by remixing pig squeals. When the demon is finally exorcised from her body, the sound you hear is a group of pigs being led to slaughter.

“Lesbians were tolerated if they appeared reassuringly feminine, or if they were lke Queen Anne, of such exalted station that they were immune to the law.  The Fleet Register gave three examples of women marrying with each other, without any action being taken against them.  While heterosexual women, who dressed as men to enlist in the military, such as Hanna Snell, the female Marine (1723 – 92) were tolerated, visibly butch women received very diffrent treatment,  since passing as a man endowed them with greater social and economic status.   Catherine Vizzani, an Italian courtesan caught trying to elope with another woman whilst dressed as a man was shot to death in 1755.

 

 

 

 

Guildhall Art Gallery

​Located off Guildhall Yard
London EC2V 7HH

Established in the late 19th century as a collection of art treasures worthy of the capital city, the Guildhall Art Gallery soon lived up to this ambition, with exhibitions that featured world famous masterpieces and works by some great artists. 

Step into the ruins of London’s Roman Amphitheatre, in which crowds would once have gathered to watch wild animal fights, public executions and gladiatorial combats. Lost for centuries, the original circular walls were rediscovered by archaelogists working on the site of the new Guildhall Art Gallery building in 1988.  

Bob Dylan, “Blowin’ in the Wind” (1963). Dylan debuted a partially written “Blowin’ in the Wind” in Greenwich Village in 1962 by telling the audience, “This here ain’t no protest song or anything like that, ‘cause I don’t write no protest songs.” “Blowin’ in the Wind” went on to become possibly the most famous protest song ever, an iconic part of the Vietnam era. Rolling Stone magazine ranked “Blowin’ in the Wind” number fourteen on its list of the top 500 songs of all-time.

Urine is considered a viable medical treatment in several countries. According to Healthonline.com, the therapy is based on the belief that urine is a by-product of blood filtration. Blood filled with nutrients passes through the liver and toxins are excreted through solid waste. Purified blood travels to the kidneys, where extra nutrients are eliminated from the body. Urine consists of urea, which is an anti-fungal, antibacterial, and antiviral agent.

Urine therapy is believed to treat a number of conditions such as multiple sclerosis, lupus, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, hepatitis, and eczema. That means instead of prescription lotion to rub on your dry skin, you can just dab some urine on it   The 13 Craziest Things Ever Used As Medicine (In America)

The KGB was created in 1954 to serve as the “sword and shield of the Communist Party.” The new security service, which played a major role in the purge of Beria’s supporters, was designed to be carefully controlled by senior Communist Party officials. It was divided into approximately 20 directorates, the most important of which were those responsible for foreign intelligence, domestic counterintelligence, technical intelligence, protection of the political leadership, and the security of the country’s frontiers. In the late 1960s an additional directorate was created to conduct surveillance on suspected dissidents in the churches and among the intelligentsia. For the next 20 years the KGB became increasingly zealous in its pursuit of enemies, harassing, arresting, and sometimes exiling human rights advocates, Christian and Jewish activists, and intellectuals judged to be disloyal to the regime. Among the most famous of its victims were the Nobel laureates Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and Andrey Sakharov.
