'Castaways' in motor homes feel stranded on society's fringe
"In 1979, the recreational vehicle manufacturer Winnebago proudly touted its latest models in glossy magazines with splashy full-page ads proclaiming their coaches to be “A Condominium That Goes Places at About Half the Going Price.”
Today, many old and battered Winnebagos number among the thousands of motor homes that line the streets of Los Angeles, from the San Fernando Valley to the Westside to the Harbor area. In a region where rents and home prices skyrocket year after year, recreational vehicles now qualify as residences for people who would otherwise be homeless" ...

♫ It was a teenage wedding
And the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre
Did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madam
Have rung the chapel bell
"C'est la vie" say the old folks
It goes to slow you never can tell ♫ ...
(You Never Can Tell) C'est la Vie

Eric Peters: Here's The Real Point Behind Trump's Trade War
Submitted and excerpted from the newest Weekly Notes
by Eric Peters, CIO of One River Asset Administration
The Level
“The import restrictions introduced by the US President are prone to trigger injury not solely exterior the US, but in addition to the US economic system itself, together with to its manufacturing and building sectors, that are main customers of aluminum and metal,” warned the IMF, their military of nerds in full sweat. Panic. Simply 200okay People work in metal, aluminum and iron. 5.5mm of our 154mm staff are employed by companies that use metal. “How might the People make such an idiotic mistake?” howled the nerds. However after all, they fully miss the purpose.
“If the EU desires to additional improve their already large tariffs and boundaries on US corporations doing enterprise there, we’ll merely apply a Tax on their Automobiles which freely pour into the US. They make it inconceivable for our vehicles (and extra) to promote there. Massive commerce imbalance!” tweeted Trump. The US at the moment imposes a 2.5% tariff on EU auto imports. The EU imposes a 10% tariff on US auto imports. Germany exports $25bln of autos to America yearly. “US auto costs will rise,” warned the Washington Put up. However after all, they fully miss the purpose.
“Commerce wars are good, straightforward to win,” tweeted Trump, understanding the assertion would set off each nerd with a university diploma. Some frightened about their jobs. However not terribly. As a result of their unemployment charge is simply 2%, their labor pressure participation is 74%. They’re as effectively off as they’ve ever been. Significantly when set towards those that by no means went to school, 5% of whom are unemployed, and 50% don’t even take part within the labor pressure. They’ve given up. These commerce insurance policies are for these forgotten folks. To hell with the results. That’s the purpose."

Several years ago, I was visiting a relative at their Seattle waterfront-condo on the 4th of July, and a rock-band was performing 'Smoke On the Water' on one of the piers!! It was so appropriate!! I've been to the old Ontario Motor Speedway for car-races, but I wish I had gone to the 'California Jam'!! 'Burn' is probably my favorite 'Deep Purple' song!!

New forensic analysis indicates bones were Amelia Earhart's
Date: March 7, 2018
Source: University of Tennessee at Knoxville
Summary: Bone measurement analysis indicates that the remains found on a remote island in the South Pacific were likely those of legendary American pilot Amelia Earhart, according to new research.
"Bone measurement analysis indicates that the remains found on a remote island in the South Pacific were likely those of legendary American pilot Amelia Earhart, according to a UT researcher.
Richard Jantz, professor emeritus of anthropology and director emeritus of UT's Forensic Anthropology Center, re-examined seven bone measurements conducted in 1940 by physician D. W. Hoodless. Hoodless had concluded that the bones belonged to a man.
Jantz, using several modern quantitative techniques -- including Fordisc, a computer program for estimating sex, ancestry, and stature from skeletal measurements -- found that Hoodless had incorrectly determined the sex of the remains. The program, co-created by Jantz, is used by nearly every board-certified forensic anthropologist in the US and around the world.
The data revealed that the bones have more similarity to Earhart than to 99 percent of individuals in a large reference sample.
The new study is published in the journal Forensic Anthropology.
Jantz also compared the bone lengths with Earhart's. Her humerus and radius lengths were obtained from a photograph with a scalable object. The scale was provided by Jeff Glickman of Photek. Her tibia length was estimated from measurements of her clothing in the George Palmer Putnam Collection of Amelia Earhart Papers at Purdue University. A historic seamstress took the measurements, which included the inseam length and waist circumference of Earhart's trousers.
Based on this information, Jantz concludes that "until definitive evidence is presented that the remains are not those of Amelia Earhart, the most convincing argument is that they are hers."
Questioning Hoodless's analysis had less to do with his competence and more to do with the state of forensic anthropology at the time, Jantz said.
"Forensic anthropology was not well developed in the early 20th century," the paper states. "There are many examples of erroneous assessments by anthropologists of the period. We can agree that Hoodless may have done as well as most analysts of the time could have done, but this does not mean his analysis was correct."
Earhart was the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She mysteriously disappeared in 1937 while flying over the Pacific. Many assumed that her plane had crashed into the waters, and she and her navigator, Fred Noonan, were never seen again.
A group of researchers, including Jantz, believe she died as a castaway on the island of Nikumaroro.
Along with bones found in 1940, a search party discovered part of a shoe judged to have been a woman's, a sextant box designed to hold a Brandis Navy Surveying Sextant, manufactured around 1918 and similar to the one Earhart's co-pilot used, and a Benedictine bottle, something Earhart was known to carry.
The bones eventually disappeared, and what remained was metric data limited to four measurements of the skull and three of long bones -- the tibia, humerus, and radius.
In reaching his conclusion, Jantz investigated other theories about the bones. He looked at the possibility that they may have belonged to one of 11 men who were presumed killed at Nikumaroro in the 1929 wreck of the Norwich City on the island's western reef, more than four miles from where the bones were found. He also considered the possibility that they were the bones of a Pacific Islander.
He concluded that there was no documentation on the men and no evidence that any of them had survived the shipwreck to die as a castaway. The woman's shoe and American sextant box also are not artifacts likely to have been associated with a survivor of the wreck. Nor was there evidence that a Pacific Islander had ended up as a castaway.
Based on all the evidence, the paper states, Earhart "was known to have been in the area of Nikumaroro Island, she went missing, and human remains were discovered which are entirely consistent with her and inconsistent with most other people.""
Jantz conducted the study in collaboration with the International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR).

About Paola Harris
Paola Harris is an Italo-American photojournalist and investigative reporter in the field of extraterrestrial related phenomena research. She is also a widely published free-lance writer, especially in Europe. She has studied extraterrestrial related phenomena since 1979 and is on personal terms with many of the leading researchers in the field. From 1980-1986 she assisted Dr. J. Allen Hynek with his UFO investigations and has interviewed many top military witnesses concerning their involvement in the government truth embargo.
In 1997, Ms. Harris met and interviewed Col. Philip Corso in Roswell, New Mexico and became apersonal friend and confidante. She was instrumental in having his book The Day After Roswell, for which she wrote the preface, translated into Italian. She consequently brought Colonel Corso to Italy for the editorial group Futuro, publisher of Il Giorno Dopo Roswell, and Corso was present for many TV appearances and two conferences. She returned to Roswell in the summer of 2003 for the American debut of her book, Connecting the Dots; Making Sense of the UFO Phenomenon.

A serious and interestingly entertaining look back ...
Summer of Love
"In the summer of 1967, thousands of young people arrived at San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury neighborhood to join in on the celebrated hippie experience. But all was not peace and love, and by 1968, the movement had developed some very bad vibes. Using archival footage and interviews with the people who experienced that historic season firsthand, "American Experience" takes a trip back to the Summer of Love."
