BRITAIN'S SMALLEST MUSEUM?
This is a museum in a 39 square foot bathroom St Ives Cornwall dedicated to Explorer Sir Richard Burton
Feeling lucky? Treasure hunters out to get Reich quick: £20bn in missing Nazi loot is STILL hidden across Germany
Priceless art and silver, some of it stolen from the Jews they sent to the gas chambers, artefacts taken from museums and tonnes of gold — all stashed in mines or sunk in lakes as defeat in World War Two loomed.
While some of these cultural treasures were saved by Allied units, around£20BILLION of loot is still missing.
And the hunt for it is still on.
Last year, locals in the Polish town of Walbrzych claimed to have found evidence of secret railway tunnels where, legend has it, Third Reich generals hid a train loaded with gold and jewellery.
In 2012 a £1billion horde of art, some of it stolen by the Nazis, was uncovered in a Munich flat.
Treasure hunters have also focussed on various lakes where billions in Reichsbank gold was thought to have been dumped.
Here, we pick out what is still missing — and where it might be.read more =http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/7018409/20bn-in-missing-Nazi-loot-is-hidden-across-Germany.html

Take time out to think and act
Dear Ghostman,
As a senior executive, all too often you will be bogged down by the tyranny of the inbox, which requires your constant attention and incessant replies to colleagues, clients and stakeholders. Although sometimes apparently difficult to do time-wise, it is extremely important for senior leaders and directors to take the time to step away from the daily demands of business to review your current (and past) recipes and ways of doing things, in order to re-energise and refresh your plans and thoughts for the future of the business, and indeed your own personal future.
The Cambridge Advanced Leadership programme (ALP) here in Cambridge gives Managing Director and C-Suite-level people the unique opportunity to step away from your business, and to delve into 3 weeks of intense learning, exchange and debate with fellow peers, Cambridge Faculty and practitioners, in an atmosphere which is conducive to a questioning mind around current opportunities and challenges facing organisations in today’s environment.
You will leave as an Alumni of Cambridge Judge Business School Executive Education, and with renewed energy and ideas which you can use to transform and grow your company. Holistically, the ALP will help you think about your professional, and also importantly your personal life, with integrated group and personal coaching and a tailor-made well-being programme to help you kick-start new goals.
I have a programe overview available as a PDF. If you would like to receive it now, please let me know by following the link below.
If you would like to discuss the ALP with me, please email me on

Thank you for your time.

Atheism: A new faith
There is no church on Sunday. There are also no dietary requirements. Nor are there required days of the year set aside for worship of G-d, gods or a higher power.
As Bill Maher said, “Atheism is not a religion.”
In this sense, he is correct.
However, religion and faith are not mutually exclusive even in the most secular of definitions.
All people have faith that what they believe at this moment is correct, whether it come from biblical texts or science books. However, there is a major difference in how atheists and religious people reconcile information that is contradictory to what is currently believed.
With modern science or atheism, a new concept may be met with opposition, but once it becomes established, old texts and beliefs are scrapped and referenced for limited purposes.
For example, the lobotomy was considered sound science until 1967, when it became banned. It is important to remember that these were certified, educated doctors that made this mistake and not charlatans. Nobody is perfect, and medicine has brought great leaps and bounds to end suffering around the world. In this particular case, however, there was a mistake. The lobotomy is now regarded as the 20th century equivalent of leeching and bloodletting — which even practitioners of its day truly believed to be good medicine.
The general point of view is that these were mistakes of the medical past. While this is certainly a progressive viewpoint, it does perpetuate a certain overconfidence in what we believe to be true now. Nobody wants to admit that what diet, medication or surgery they are living by may in =read more =http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/mar/23/atheism-fact-religion/
What is paranoia?
Everybody experiences suspicious or irrational thoughts from time to time. These fears are described as paranoid when they are exaggerated and there is no evidence that they are true.
There are three key features of paranoid thoughts. If you have paranoia, you may:
- fear that something bad will happen
- think that other people or external causes are responsible
- have beliefs that are exaggerated or unfounded.
Generally speaking, if you are experiencing paranoia, you will feel a sense of threat and fear.
There are different types of threat or harm that you may feel paranoid about. You may feel you are at risk of:
- psychological or emotional harm – thinking somebody is bullying you, spreading rumours about you, talking about you behind your back
- physical harm – believing somebody trying to physically hurt or injure you, or even trying to kill you
- financial harm – thinking another person is stealing from you, or is damaging your property or tricking you into giving away your money.
It could be one person you feel threatened by, or it may be a group of people, an =read more =http://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/types-of-mental-health-problems/paranoia/#.VvaQyuKLTIU
