Located on the hillside overlooking the village of Domrémy, the Basilique du Bois Chenu is a national monument expressing the country's gratitude to St Joan of Arc.

Joan of Arc is considered a heroine of France for her role during the Lancastrian phase of the Hundred Years' War.

When the hours spent on research are totally worth it....
(That's why this stage of the process is SO important to me)
I love photographs taken inside cathedrals/churches during the war. The compositions are usually very powerful, especially when you take the whole context into consideration.

Amelia Earhart was declared dead #OnThisDay in 1939.

She was the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean.

(The photo is from The Colour of Time tinyurl.com/y9ddsvzj)
Earhart was the daughter of Samuel "Edwin" Stanton Earhart and Amelia "Amy". She was born in Atchison, Kansas, in the home of her maternal grandfather, Alfred Gideon Otis, who was a former federal judge, the president of the Atchison Savings Bank.
According to family custom, Earhart was named after her two grandmothers, Amelia Josephine Harres and Mary Wells Patton. From an early age, Amelia was the ringleader while her sister Grace Muriel Earhart (1899–1998), two years her junior, acted as the dutiful follower.

Now that a lot of people are interested to know about the Andamans, because of the stupid & selfish foreigner who got killed while trying to proselytize the Sentinelese, I would like to talk a little about the Andamans and the tribes living there, a subject close to my heart. +
2/ While most Indians know about the archipelago because of Veer Savarkar and Cellular Jail, the Andaman Islands are home to India's only active volcano, Barren Island & the lowermost point of India, Indira Point in the Nicobar group of islands.
3/ The islands are closer to Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia & Indonesia than to India. There are stories of traders during Chola dynasty landing on these islands. Marco Polo is said to have visited the islands. Traders were afraid to land as the natives were thought to be cannibals.

As the govt continues to ignore the crisis in Puerto Rico after #Maria, I urge those affected to prepare for #Florence

It’s a Cat 4-5 & flooding is predicted.

Here’s how to prepare & what to do if you run out of bottled water after.

Please RT this thread— it could save a life.

 First—listen to your state & local news. EVACUATE if you’re mandated. Don’t leave your pets behind.

I worked on the rescue efforts after Harvey & Irma. I spoke to people on dying phones who didn’t evacuate. They required rescue from rooftops.
#Florence
3/
 If you’re not mandated to evacuate for #HurricaneFlorence, see @NOAA’s list of numbers and supplies you‘ll need
👉nhc.noaa.gov/prepare/ready.…

@Firechatapp is a web app & works when cell towers go down between phones.

Prepare & have 1 gallon/day water supply for 7 days minimum.

From the beginning, Zionists advocated a "Jewish State" not just in #Palestine, but also in #Jordan, southern #Lebanon, and the #GolanHeights as well.
As it will be proved from the quotes below:
#ICC4Israel #EthnicCleaning #Occupation #BDS #Gaza
Source:palestineremembered.com/Acre/Famous-Zi…👈
#Palestinians are not indigenous to #Palestine👈This propaganda has no other purpose than 2 further dehumanize Palestinians & justify #Israel’s ongoing ethnic cleansing & murder
In #BenGurion own words👇😡you'll see how that outrageous claim is far removed from historical reality
“We must expel the Arabs and take their places…”~#DavidBenGurion
Born in 1886 as David Green (Gruen) in Plonsk, #Poland. He is considered one of the three founding figures of Zionism beside #ChaimWeizmann & #Herzl.

Thread: Heard of the Seven Dwarfs? Mini-Me? Tyrion?

Cool. Pull up a seat.

Let me tell you about Jeffrey Hudson - a real #dwarf person whose incredible life featured Kings and Queens, pirates and prisoners, soldiers and slaves.

He once shot a man dead for mocking him.

1/
Hudson was born in England in 1619 to poor average height parents.

Not long after, the Duke of Buckingham moved nearby.

When he was 7, the Duchess of Buckingham asked his father to permit Jeffery to live with her.

2/
 ***
The Duke 'gave' Jeffrey (you read that right) in **a pie** (you read that right, too) to Queen Henrietta Maria.

If that sounds disgusting and barbaric it's because it is (sadly, this is not the only time this humiliating practice occurred in history).

WHOOPS, I'm talking second marriages, class issues, and spinsters

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEEEEEEEEANS
Lizzie Borden was the spinster daughter of Andrew Borden, a classic all-American by-the-bootstraps self-made man. His family name was esteemed, but he came from the poorest branch of it, making his own fortune through commerce and thrift.
It was due to that thrift that Andrew, although quite wealthy, refused to live like a wealthy man; he lived in a modest house downtown, close to his businesses, and considered modern amenities like gas lighting and indoor plumbing useless extravagances.

(1) Team Trump photos thread started on 10/8/17 that will bear no resemblance to the chronological order of events of the last 2 weeks.
(2) I begin with a pic that paints a thousand words. Crooked, Commie Carmen Yulin Cruz has to acknowledge the President while others smirk.
(3) Carmen Yulin Cruz is the failed Mayor of San Juan who won't lift a finger to help #MakePuertoRicoGreatAgain, while millions will.
