By valeri On August 4, 2010 No Comments

People of the world are uniting.

We shall have to accept that the people of the world are uniting and they want that all the countries should be abolished and all these countries must merge and form one world. They want that all these countries may exist in shape of administrative units under one Government and there should be no separate constitution for any of the administrative units. There should be one law for each country and there should be one Parliament for all the administrative units. There should be no ban for going into an- other country and there should be no pass port and visa system in the world.

La’s Orchestra Saves The World By Alexander McCall Smith – Book Review

By valeri On July 28, 2010 No Comments

Charming. Can any of us make a difference to the great events which determine our fate? That is the question Alexander McCall Smith explores in La's Orchestra Saves the World. The story is set in Britain and told through the eyes of a young woman named Lavender (all her friends call her La). La is a very real character – although intelligent, strong-willed and determined, at times she displayed self-doubt and struggled with want versus obligation. McCall Smith takes the reader on a journey with La from her days at university, first love, personal tragedy and the upheaval of the Second World War. Along the way the reader is introduced to a cast of characters from many walks of life, displaying determination and courage in many forms, as they each do what they can to contribute to the war effort.

The best word I can use to describe the writing style

Alright... So something pretty “out there” occurred to me over the last year.

By valeri On July 22, 2010 No Comments

London was subjected to an ongoing and persistent bombing campaign during the Second World War, with German planes regularly targeting key locations across the city.

Indeed, the various images of London during the Blitz still stand as an evocative reminder of those years.

Britain may have won the conflict in the end, but the capital has not forgotten this dark chapter in its history.

As a result, people who are interested in military history and the Second World War in particular can find plenty of fascinating things to do in London.

The Churchill War Rooms in Whitehall are recommended to any visitor to the city, regardless of whether they are an expert on the war or are only just starting to learn about it.

World War II Foo Fighters

By valeri On July 21, 2010 No Comments

In the 1938 comic strip Smokey Stover, a firefighter was known for his line, “Where there’s foo, there’s fire.” From Smokey, aircraft pilots borrowed the term “foo fire” to describe the various unexplainable phenomenon seen in the skies over Europe and the Pacific theatre during World War II. While Allied pilots initially thought the flying objects were German secret or psychological weapons, after the war it was discovered that sightings were also reported by the enemy, who had assumed the crafts were US-made. To this day, the sightings remain a mystery.

Over the course of the war, fireballs, estimated to be as big as 300 feet and as small as 1 foot in diameter, were reported and thoroughly documented. These apparitions left witnesses awe-inspired, wary, and frightened—although the foo fighters never harmed or attempted to harm anyone. The CIA was commissioned in 1952 to study the reports and concluded that while

The superior Imperial Japanese Forces overrun the spirited defenses that the combined United States and Philippine Commonwealth Government Armies put up in the battles for Bataan and the Island fortress of Corrigedor.

Britain in the World Wars

By valeri On July 18, 2010 No Comments

By the beginning of the 20th century, the world had entered the period of

imperialism. Britain's dominance was challenged by other European nations and the

United States, for they had also been industrialized and each were eager to

protect their own markets and expand their influence. The power balance in Europe

had undergone enormous changes. A conflict of interests and colonial rivalry

divided Europe into two camps: the Central Powers included Germany, Austria-

Hungary, later joined by the Ottoman Empire1 and Bulgaria; the Allied Powers were

mainly comprised of France, the Russian Empire, the British Empire, Italy and the

United States. The conflict plunged the whole world into two devastating wars in

the first half of the 20th century.

The immediate cause of World War I lay in the conflict on the Balkan Peninsula. On

June 28, 1914, the Austrian Archduke Francis Ferdinand was assassinated by a young

Yugoslav (^3$fl£^cA) in Sarajevo
