Are we not all the same?
Thier are two facts in life every person on the planet that makes us all equal ;we are all born; we all die.What you do in between then defines you as a person I am going to put my beliefs on this post and I don't expect people to agree with me but I am willing to listen to a sensible debate or evidence not a witchhunt as this cheapens the whole reason for debate. I believe in ghosts;u.f.o;big cats exist in Britain; I believe in British bigfoot .I am a student of cryptozoology and that when the end comes we go into the galaxy to form stars and I practise karma .Does this make me less of a person that up too you dear reader to judge. If you read my posts or listen to my podcast show or watch my videos at least be objective and if I was to witness any of my beliefs yes I would write or podcast them and I would expect the usual not being believed or treated as a crackpot nut what I hate is it to get political and point scoring by so called concrete thinking try to be opened minded and if you wish to question do in a sensible and evidence based fashion and both views can be judged on merit ty for mark

R.i.p Mark E Smith of punk band The Fall
The Fall (band) The Fall were an English post-punk band, formed in 1976 in Prestwich, Greater Manchester. They underwent many line up changes, with vocalist and founder Mark E. Smith as the only constant member. The Fall's long term musicians have included drummers Paul Hanley and Karl Burns; guitarists Marc Riley, Craig Scanlon and Brix Smith; and bassist Steve Hanley, whose melodic playing is widely credited with shaping the band's sound from the early 1980s to the mid-1990s.[1] The Fall  The Fall Perverted by Language Tour, Hamburg (Markthalle), 13.April 1984.

Smith See members section for others  Steve Hanley and Brix Smith, Perverted By Language tour, Hamburg, 13 April 1984 First associated with the late 1970s punk movement, the Fall's music underwent numerous stylistic changes, often concurrently with changes in the group's lineup. Nonetheless, their music has generally been characterised by an abrasive, repetitive guitar-driven sound, tense bass and drum rhythms, and Smith's cryptic lyrics,[2] described by critic Simon Reynolds as "a kind of Northern English magic realism that mixed industrial grime with the unearthly and uncanny, voiced through a unique, one-note delivery somewhere between amphetamine-spiked rant and alcohol-addled yarn."[3] While the Fall never achieved widespread success beyond minor hit singles in the late 1980s, they have maintained a strong cult following. The Fall have been called "the most prolific band of the British post-punk movement."[2] From 1979 to 2017, they released thirty-two studio albums, and more than three times that number when live albums and compilations (often released against Smith's wishes) are taken into account. They were long associated with BBC disc jockey John Peel, who championed them from early on in their career and described them as his favourite band, famously explaining, "they are always different; they are always the same."[4] In 2018, Smith died at the age of 60, effectively putting an end to the group.
MASUTATSU OYAMA KYOKUSHIN KARATE
Mas Oyama In this Japanese name, the family name is Oyama. Masutatsu Ōyama (大山 倍達 Ōyama Masutatsu, born Choi Yeong-eui (Hangul: 최영의 Hanja: 崔永宜); July 27, 1923 – April 26, 1994), more commonly known as Mas Oyama, was a karate master who founded Kyokushin Karate, considered the first and most influential style of full contact karate.[1][2] A Zainichi Korean, he spent most of his life living in Japan and acquired Japanese citizenship in 1964. He was an alumnus of Waseda University.[3] Mas Oyama  BornChoi Yeong-eui July 27, 1923 Gimje, Jeollabuk-do, Korea DiedApril 26, 1994 (aged 70) Tokyo, Japan StyleKyokushin Teacher(s)Gichin Funakoshi, Gōgen Yamaguchi, Nei-Chu So (1908–1995) Rank10th Dan Black Belt in Kyokushin Karate 4th Dan Black Belt in Shotokan 7th Dan Black Belt in Gōjū-ryū Karate 4th Dan Black Belt in Kodokan Judo SpouseChiyako Oyama (1926–1994) Sun-ho Hong (홍순호) Notable studentsBobby Lowe, Shigeru Ōyama, Yasuhiko Ōyama, Sonny Chiba, Jon Bluming, Tadashi Nakamura, Steve Arneil, Hideyuki Ashihara, Hatsuo Royama, Terutomo Yamazaki, Yoshiji Soeno, Peter Chong, Loek Hollander, Katsuaki Satō, Howard Collins, Tae Hong Choi, Jhoon Goo Rhee Choi Bae-Dal Hangul최배달 Hanja崔倍達 Revised RomanizationChoe Baedal McCune–ReischauerCh'oe Paetal Kyokushin Hangul극진 Hanja極眞 Revised RomanizationGeukjin McCune–ReischauerKŭkchin Early lifeEdit Mas Oyama was born as Choi Young-Eui (최영의) in Gimje, South Korea, during Japanese occupation. At a young age he was sent to Manchuria, Northeast China to live on his sister's farm. Oyama began studying Chinese martial arts at age 9 from a Chinese farmer who was working on the farm. His family name was Lee and Oyama said he was his very first teacher. The story of the young Oyama's life is written in his earlier books.[4][5] In March 1938, Oyama left for Japan following his brother who enrolled in the Yamanashi Aviation School Imperial Japanese Army aviation school.[6] Sometime during his time in Japan, Choi Young-Eui chose his Japanese name, Oyama Masutatsu (大山 倍達), which is a transliteration of Baedal (倍達). Baedal was an ancient Korean kingdom known in Japan during Oyama's time as "Ancient Joseon". One story of Oyama's youth involves Lee giving young Oyama a seed which he was to plant; when it sprouted, he was to jump over it one hundred times every day. As the seed grew and became a plant, Oyama later said, "I was able to jump between walls back and forth easily." The writer, Ikki Kajiwara, and the publisher of the comics based the story on the life experience Oyama spoke to them about – thus the title became "Karate Baka Ichidai" (Karate Fanatic). In 1963, Oyama wrote What is Karate which became a best seller in the US and sold million copies all over the world. It is still considered by many to be the "Bible" of Karate to this day. It was translated into Hungarian, French, and English. Post-World War IIEdit In 1945 after the war ended, Oyama left the aviation school. He began "Eiwa Karate Research Center" in Suginami ward but closed it quickly because "I soon realized that I was an unwanted Korean. Nobody would rent me a room."[6] He finally found a place to live in Tokyo. This is where he met his future wife whose mother ran a dormitory for university students. In 1946, Oyama enrolled in Waseda University School of Education to study sports science. Wanting the best in instruction, he contacted the Shotokan dojo (Karate school) operated by Gigō Funakoshi, the second son of karate master and Shotokan founder Gichin Funakoshi.[7] He became a student, and began his lifelong career in Karate. Feeling like a foreigner in a strange land, he remained isolated and trained in solitude.[6] Oyama attended Takushoku University in Tokyo and was accepted as a student at the dojo of Gichin Funakoshi. He trained with Funakoshi for two years, then studied Gōjū-ryū karate for several years with So Nei Chu (조영주 / 曺（曹）寧柱, 1908–1995),[8] a senior student of the system's founder, Chojun Miyagi. So was a fellow Korean from Oyama's native province. Korea had been officially annexed by Japan since 1910. During World War II (1939–1945) there was much unrest throughout Korea. As South Korea began to fight against North Korea over political ideology, Oyama became increasingly distressed. He recounts, "though I was born and bred in Korea, I had unconsciously made myself liberal; I felt repulsion against the strong feudal system of my fatherland, and that was one of the reasons which made me run away from home to Japan."[6] He joined a Korean political organization in Japan to strive for the unification of Korea, but soon was being targeted and harassed by the Japanese police. He then consulted with Mr. So.[6] Around the time he also went around Tokyo getting in fights with the U.S. Military Police. He later reminisced those times in a television interview, "Itsumitemo Haran Banjyo" (Nihon Television), "I lost many friends during the war- the very morning of their departure as Kamikaze pilots, we had breakfast together and in the evening their seats were empty. After the war ended, I was angry- so I fought as many U.S. military as I could, until my portrait was all over the police station." At this time, Mr. So suggested that Oyama retreat to a lone mountain for solace to train his mind and body. He set out to spend three years on Mt. Minobu in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan. Oyama built a shack on the side of the mountain. One of his students named Yashiro accompanied him, but after the rigors of this isolated training, with no modern conveniences, the student snuck away one night, and left Oyama alone. With only monthly visits from a friend in the town of Tateyama in Chiba Prefecture, the loneliness and harsh training became grueling. Oyama began to doubt his decision, so he sent a letter to the man who suggested the retreat. Mr. So replied with encouragement to remain, and suggested that he shave off one eyebrow so that he would not be tempted to come out of the mountain and let anyone see him that way. Oyama remained on the mountain for fourteen months, and returned to Tokyo a much stronger and fiercer Karateka.[6] Oyama gave great credit to reading The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi, a famous Japanese swordsman, to change his life completely. He recounts this book as being his only reading material during his mountain training years. He was forced to leave his mountain retreat after his sponsor had stopped supporting him. Months later, after he had won the Karate Section of Japanese National Martial Arts Championships, he was distraught that he had not reached his original goal to train in the mountains for three years, so he went into solitude again, this time on Mt. Kiyosumi in Chiba Prefecture, Japan and he trained there for 18 months. Founding KyokushinEdit In 1953 Oyama opened his own karate dojo, named Oyama Dojo (form of Gōjū-ryū), in Tokyo but continued to travel around Japan and the world giving martial arts demonstrations, including the fighting and killing of live bulls with his bare hands (sometimes grabbing them by the horn, and snapping the horn off).[9] His dojo was first located outside in an empty lot but eventually moved into a ballet school in 1956. The senior instructors under him were T. Nakamura, K. Mizushima, E. Yasuda, M. ishibashi, and T. Minamimoto.[10] Oyama's own curriculum soon developed a reputation as a tough, intense, hard-hitting but practical style which was finally named Kyokushinkai (Japan Karate-Do Kyokushinkai), which means 'the ultimate truth,' in a ceremony in 1957. He also developed a reputation for being 'rough' with his students, as the training sessions were grueling and students injuring themselves in practice fighting (kumite) was quite common.[11] Along with practice fighting that distinguished Oyama's teaching style from other karate schools, emphasis on breaking objects such as boards, tiles, or bricks to measure one's offensive ability became Kyokushin's trademark. Oyama believed in the practical application of karate and declared that ignoring 'breaking practice is no more useful than a fruit tree that bears no fruit.[12] As the reputation of the dojo grew students were attracted to come to train there from inside and outside Japan and the number of students grew. Many of the eventual senior leaders of today's various Kyokushin based organisations began training in the style during this time. In 1964 Oyama moved the dojo into the building that would from then on serve as the Kyokushin home dojo and world headquarters. In connection with this he also formally founded the 'International Karate Organization Kyokushin kaikan' (commonly abbreviated to IKO or IKOK) to organise the many schools that were by then teaching the kyokushin style. In 1961 at the All-Japan Student Open Karate Championship, one of Oyama's students, Tadashi Nakamura, at 19 years old (1961) made his first tournament appearance, where he was placed first. Nakamura later became Mas Oyama's Chief Instructor as referenced in Mas Oyama's book, "This is Karate." In 1969, Oyama staged the first All-Japan Full Contact Karate Open Championships which took Japan by storm and Terutomo Yamazaki became the first champion, which have been held every year since. In 1975, the first World Full Contact Karate Open Championships were held in Tokyo. World championships have been held at four-yearly intervals since. After formally establishing Kyokushin-kai, Oyama directed the organization through a period of expansion. Oyama and his staff of hand-picked instructors displayed great ability in marketing the style and gaining new members.[13] Oyama would choose an instructor to open a dojo in another town or city in Japan, whereupon the instructor would move to that town, and, typically demonstrate his karate skills in public places, such as at the civic gymnasium, the local police gym (where many judo students would practice), a local park, or conduct martial arts demonstrations at local festivals or school events. In this way, the instructor would soon gain a few students for his new dojo. After that, word of mouth would spread through the local area until the dojo had a dedicated core of students. Oyama also sent instructors to other countries such as the United States, Netherlands, England, Australia and Brazil to spread Kyokushin in the same way. Oyama also promoted Kyokushin by holding The All-Japan Full Contact Karate Open Championships every year and World Full Contact Karate Open Championships once every four years in which anyone could enter from any style.[14] Prominent studentsEdit Kenji Kurosaki, taught many practitioners including Shigeru Oyama, Yasuhiko Oyama, Tadashi Nakamura, and Hideyuki Ashihara Terutomo Yamazaki, the first champion of the All-Japan Full Contact Karate Open Championships and former professional kickboxer Sonny Chiba, popular Japanese actor and martial artist Akira Masuda Hatsuo Royama, 9th dan, Kancho (Director) of the Kyokushin-kan International Honbu Tadashi Nakamura, founder of World Seidō Karate Organization Shigeru Oyama, Founder of World Oyama Karate [15] Bobby Lowe, 10th dan Steve Arneil, 10th dan and founder of the International Federation of Karate (Kyokushin) Jon Bluming, 10th dan and founder of the Kyokushin Budokai and IBK Isobe Seiji, 8th dan, designated to Brazil, became Shihan after spread Kyokushin through South America, who taught and trained Francisco Filho, Glaube Feitosa and Everton Teixeira.[16] Hideyuki Ashihara, founder of Ashihara Karate Yoshiji Soeno, founder of Shidōkan Karate Loek Hollander Katsuaki Satō, winner of the 1st World Full Contact Karate Open Championships and All-Japan Championships on two occasions Miyuki Miura Jōkō Ninomiya, founder of Enshin Karate Howard Collins Shokei Matsui, 8th dan, Kancho (Director) of the International Karate Organization Kyokushin-kaikan (Matsui-Ha) Andy Hug Francisco Filho, first non-Japanese karateka to win the World Full Contact Karate Open Championship in 1999 Tae-hong Choi Peter Urban Nicholas Pettas, Last Uchi Deshi Kenji Midori, winner of the 5th World Full Contact Karate Open Championships and current president of Shinkyokushinkai Kenji Yamaki, founder of Yamaki Karate and winner of the 6th World Full Contact Karate Open Championships [17] Etsuko Shihomi, actress who specialized in action films Public demonstrationsEdit Oyama tested himself in a kumite, a progression of fights, each lasting two minutes, and each after the featured participant wins. Oyama devised the 100-man kumite which he went on to complete three times in a row over the course of three days.[18] He was also known for fighting bulls bare-handed. In his lifetime, he battled 52 bulls, three of which were purportedly killed instantly with one strike, earning him the nickname of "Godhand".[19] Oyama had many matches with professional wrestlers during his travels through the United States. Oyama said in the 1958 edition of his book What Is Karate that he had just three matches with professional wrestlers plus thirty exhibitions and nine television appearances. Later yearsEdit In 1946, Oyama married a Japanese woman, Oyako Chiako (1926-2006) and had three children with her. In the late 1960s, Oyama and Chiako were having marital problems and decided to separate, and Chiako, who did not want her husband to start seeing other women, arranged for a Korean woman and family friend named Sun-ho Hong to become Oyama's companion for some time. With Hong, Oyama had three more children and he would remain romantically involved with both Hong and Chiako until the end of his life. Later in life, Oyama suffered from osteoarthritis. Despite his illness, he never gave up training. He held demonstrations of his karate, which included breaking objects. Oyama wrote over 80 books in Japanese and some were translated into other languages. Final yearsEdit Before dying, Oyama built his Tokyo-based International Karate Organization, Kyokushinkaikan, into one of the world's foremost martial arts associations, with branches in more than 100 countries boasting over 12 million registered members. In Japan, books were written by and about him, feature-length films splashed his colorful life across the big screen, and comic books recounted his many adventures. Oyama died at the age of 70, on Tokyo, Japan, April 26, 1994, of lung cancer, despite never being a smoker in any point in his life.[20] His widow Chiyako Oyama, made a trust foundation to honor his lifelong work. In popular cultureEdit A manga about Oyama's legacy, Karate Baka Ichidai (literal title: "A Karate-Crazy Life"), was published in Weekly Shonen Magazine in 1971, written by Ikki Kajiwara with art by Jirō Tsunoda and Jōya Kagemaru. A 47-episode anime adaptation was released in 1973 which featured several changes to the plot, including the renaming of the Mas Oyama character to "Ken Asuka". A trilogy of live-action films based on the manga was also produced: Champion of Death (1975), Karate Bearfighter (1975), and Karate for Life (1977). The films featured Oyama's pupil, Japanese actor, and martial artist Sonny Chiba, in the main role. Oyama himself appeared in the first two films.[21][22][23] Another film adaptation, Fighter in the Wind, was released in 2004, starring Yang Dong-geun. During the 1970s, Oyama and some of his top students were featured in a documentary film The Strongest Karate (released as Fighting Black Kings in the US market) followed by two sequels, all having Ikki Kajiwara as executive producer. Takuma Sakazaki (a.k.a. "Mr. Karate"), a character from SNK's King of Fighters and Art of Fighting video game franchises, was inspired by Mas Oyama. Within the mythology, Sakazaki is the founder and grandmaster of the fictional Kyokugenryu Karate, which is a nod to Oyama's own Kyokushinkaikan. The works of manga author Keisuke Itagaki feature at least two characters inspired by Oyama: Doppo Orochi from Grappler Baki and Shozan Matsuo from Garouden.

R.i.p Piper wildlife control dog
The speedy border collie, who gained Internet fame for chasing critters off the runways, died of cancer this week. (Tessa Lighty/Traverse City Record-Eagle via AP) On the last day of his nine-year life, Piper, the border collie, chased a snowy owl from the runway at the airport in Traverse City, Mich. It was the 8,367th bird he had scared off in a three-year career as the airport’s K-9 wildlife control officer — which turned him into one of the nation’s most famous dogs. Piper began his duties in late 2014 as the sidekick to his owner, airport operations manager Brian Edwards. The dog went viral a little more than a year later, when images of him — looking “Top Gun” chic in protective goggles — hit the social site Reddit. On Wednesday, he lost a year-long battle with prostate cancer, an illness Edwards did not reveal publicly until Piper’s death. In an interview, Edwards said he kept his pet’s health troubles to himself partially out of a desire for privacy after a “crazy year,” but also because the pooch — who used his herding skills to clear the airfield of mammals like foxes and groundhogs, too — kept going until the end. The cancer was diagnosed in January 2016, but Edwards said Piper didn’t show symptoms until December. Even so, the duo worked a regular 10-hour shift on Christmas. “I think we were lucky to get a year out of him,” Edwards said. “It’s cancer. It’s life. You can’t predict anything.”  Piper clears the airfield at Cherry Capital Airport. (Courtesy of airportK9.org/) Like many Internet-famous animals, Piper had slick social media accounts and a website, which Edwards said he initially established because he figured some other dog and aviation enthusiasts might appreciate them. Piper found a far wider audience because he was a simply perfect character: Here was a dog with markings and tactical gear that made him exceedingly photogenic, with smarts and drive that kept people safe, and with a love for his master and his work that were abundantly evident. “We literally did spend almost every second together” once Piper began the job, said Edwards, who had adopted the dog when he was 2. “For me, it was almost more special that we morphed from being dad and son to working partners.” Brian Edwards, the airport’s operations manager, was Piper’s owner and sidekick. (Courtesy of airportk9.org/) Piper was the subject of news stories around the world. T-shirts and hoodies with his image were made. A photo of him won a U.S. Coast Guard-sponsored contest. Despite his fame, he continued to log 40 hours each week of work that Edwards described as “a dream job for a dog.” Collisions with birds and other wildlife can be extremely dangerous to aircraft and the people on board, and the Federal Aviation Administration requires airports to have plans to mitigate that hazard. Cherry Capital Airport was already using pyrotechnics and other means to keep animals away from planes when Edwards began studying up on the use of dogs — a tool that is rarely employed but that can be very effective. “I said, ‘Well, what can the dog do for us?’” airport manager Kevin Klein told the Traverse City Record-Eagle in 2016. “And Brian showed us (Piper’s) skills, and I thought that Piper had lots of talent.” Piper at work. (Courtesy of airportK9.org/) Edwards started Piper out with obedience and off-leash training at home. That led to some time hanging outside the airport and getting used to the loud noises. In a Reddit question-and-answer forum, Edwards said Piper took about a year and a half of “passive training” — plus three days or so of acclimation to the goggles — to be ready for his chasing and patrolling duties. Eventually, Piper felt right at home on the runway, as the GIF that made him an online sensation made clear. “And my dog gets scared by the vacuum,” one Reddit commenter quipped. Airport guard dog. As his tumor swelled in recent weeks, Piper began having trouble urinating, Edwards said. “Things were fine until New Year’s Eve, and then the tumor had grown too large, and he just couldn’t go anymore,” Edwards said, choking up. On Tuesday, his veterinarian drained the dog’s bladder with a catheter and said it might make him comfortable for a few days. It didn’t last, though, and Edwards said he and the dog left their shift on Wednesday morning to have it drained again. They returned to the airport that afternoon so Piper could “say goodbye to all his fellow co-workers.” Piper died in his arms that night, at the house “we purchased together,” Edwards said. He draped a U.S. flag — flown that day at the Coast Guard air station at the airport — over the dog’s body, shared a photo on Instagram and asked for “patience as I take time to tend to my shattered heart.” In addition to all those chased birds, Piper had patrolled 1,907 miles and worked 6,206 hours at the airport, according to his website — which, as of Friday, still made no mention of his death. In the upper right-hand corner was this status: “Airport K-9 Piper is off-duty.”

Wolf escaped and recaptured in uk
 Image caption The wolf was recaptured after it was spotted more than 10 miles away from its home A wolf which went on the loose for about six hours after escaping from its enclosure has been safely recaptured. The animal, called Torak, was initially thought to have fled from the Wolf Conservation Trust's site in Beenham after strong winds damaged fencing. The sanctuary has now said his enclosure gate may have been left open deliberately. Thames Valley Police said the wolf travelled about eight miles before it was caught near the M4 motorway. The force announced Torak's capture at about 13:40 GMT. A spokesperson said: "It was safely detained by officers and staff from the sanctuary, who had been working to recapture it."  Teresa Palmer, who founded the sanctuary in Berkshire, helped encourage the 12-year-old wolf into a caged trailer. She said the gate at the front of Torak's enclosure was open. "I think somebody deliberately opened the gate. A lot of people don't particularly believe in having animals in captivity." Ms Palmer added: "When we were near the wolf trust I was close to him but he was frightened and didn't want to be caught. "The fact he went through a field of sheep shows he never would have been a danger to the public. "Now he's given up. He's had his moment of freedom now." Image copyright NPAS Image caption Police tracked Torak from a helicopter with thermal imaging An animal capture expert who was tracking Torak said police would have shot to kill if the wolf had run on to the motorway. Mike Allison, from Animal Capture UK, said: "That would have been the only option available to prevent human injury or loss of life." But he added that Torak "looks the most unaggressive wolf I have ever seen".  At the scene - BBC reporter Andy Jones Image copyright PA Image caption The animal fled from the Wolf Conservation Trust site in Beenham It's relief all round here in the village of Curridge where the wolf has been found and, more importantly, not a single shot fired. A dedicated team of animal catchers was on hand to fire a tranquiliser dart and were thankfully not needed. The Wolf Conservation Trust owners managed to bring Torak back into care safe and well. Dog owners who were out for a stroll near me have been asking if it's now safe to walk around here and the answer is yes. Life can get back to normal in this quaint little corner of Berkshire. Thames Valley Police earlier put out a text warning to residents and schools in Berkshire, urging them to stay inside. Officers had also advised members of the public not to approach the wolf if they saw it. After the wolf was captured, a spokesperson said: "Schools, which were asked to keep pupils indoors, no longer need to do this." Image caption Thames Valley Police sent local residents a text message warning of the wolf on the loose Torak had been spotted at various locations, some more than 10 miles to the west of the sanctuary. Local resident Daniel Brownlie told the BBC he ignored the wolf warning. He said: "I had a local surgery appointment this morning as I'm off to Malawi at the end of the month. It was a decision between getting malaria tablets or getting eaten by a wolf. I took the risk." One parent, Tony Roe, had earlier said police officers were outside his child's local primary school by 08:30 to usher pupils inside. He said: "An officer on the school gate told me a wolf had escaped after wind blew down part of the fence."
