BREAKING: BBC: In stunning decision, Britain votes to leave the E.U.

#Brexit, Current Events, History European, World Europe, World Europe Britain-England

This is what happens when a government feels that it can do whatever it pleases without consequence. This is what happens when governments turn a blind to the constituency it is supposed to serve. Someone smarter than me said it best, "the EU is too bureaucratic and exerts excessive control over its members...."

This what happens when a social-welfare system runs amok. In the EU, very few folks work so that they may pay for the benefits of too many that do not work... If the EU does not reform quickly, it will collapse under its own weight and follow the example of Venezuela.

Europe: BBC: In stunning decision, Britain votes to leave the E.U. #Brexit

LONDON —Britain was bracing at dawn Friday for a possible plunge into the unknown — an exit from the European Union — as results from a bitterly contested referendum showed a strong surge of votes to leave, against the will of the country’s political establishment.

As results poured in through Thursday night and into the early hours of Friday, the “remain” camp was increasingly despairing, while “leave” advocates expressed a growing confidence that their side had pulled off a shocking victory.

Results from much of the country had yet to be counted as of 4 a.m. local time. But areas that had reported results generally showed stronger-than-expected margins for those advocating a British exit — popularly known as Brexit.

Credit Cards » Beware Of Currency Conversion Fees

If you do a lot of international traveling, you've probably been stung by an unpleasant surprise lurking at the bottom of your bank statement or credit card bill: a currency conversion fee. While the CARD Act has done plenty to reduce sometimes exorbitant credit card fees, it left currency conversion fees untouched, ensuring travelers will have at least one unpleasant vacation memory.

Rick Steves’ Europe: Card Fees (and How to Avoid Them)

http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2015/02/rick-steves-europe-card-fees-and-how-to.html

Travelers returning from Europe often open their mail to discover they paid more for their trip than they thought they had. Over the last decade, banks have dramatically increased their fees for overseas transactions. While these fees are legal, they’re basically a slimy way for credit-card companies to wring a few more dollars out of their customers.

[…]

So, how can a smart traveler avoid — or at least reduce — these fees? Here are a few suggestions.

[…]

If you’re getting a bad deal, get a new card. Some companies offer lower international fees than others — and some don’t charge any at all. If you’re going on a long trip, do some research and consider taking out a card just for international purchases. Capital One has a particularly good reputation for no-fee international transactions on both its credit cards and its debit cards linked to a checking account. Most credit unions have low-to-no international transaction fees. Bankrate has a good comparison chart of major credit cards and their currency-conversion fees.

[…]

Avoid dynamic currency conversion (DCC). Some European merchants — capitalizing on the fact that many Americans are intimidated by unusual currencies — cheerfully charge you for converting their prices to dollars before running your credit card.

The Wars of the Roses – and the Battle of Towton, March 29, 1461

Dan Jones: “The Wars of the Roses: The Fall of the Plantagenets and the Rise of the Tudors” (Rebroadcast)

Listen

The author of the bestselling book "The Plantagenets" picks up the story of the English crown where his last book left off. It describes how the longest-reigning British royal family tore itself apart and was replaced by the Tudors.

+++++++++++++++++++++++

Battle of Towton March 29, 1461

According to an article in the Sunday Times on August 28, 2008, by Adrian Anthony Gill, the Battle of Towton was fought on a Sunday, March 29, 1461. “By all contemporary accounts, allowing for medieval exaggeration, on this one Sunday between 20,000 and 30,000 men died. Just so that you grasp the magnitude, that’s a more grievous massacre of British men than on the first day of the Somme.

Without machineguns or shells, young blokes hacked, bludgeoned and trampled, suffocated and drowned. An astonishing 1% of the English population died in this field. The equivalent today would be 600,000.”

In an article by Martin Kettle for The Guardian, on Friday, August 24, 2007:

“It is often said that the bloodiest day in our history was July 1 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme, when 19,200 soldiers went over the top and were mown down by German guns. As a result, the Somme has become synonymous with the frightful, mindless slaughter of a whole generation of young British men. It traumatised the survivors so much that they barely spoke of it. But it hangs over our country still, nearly a century later. Merely to think of it can make one weep.

Yet Towton was bloodier than the Somme. When night fell on March 29 1461 - it was Palm Sunday, and much of the battle took place in a snowstorm - the Yorkist and Lancastrian dead numbered more than 20,000. It should be said that the figures are much disputed and rise to as many as 28,000 in some accounts, and there were countless wounded besides.

Now remember two other things while you absorb that. First, that while the population of Britain in 1916 was more than 40 million, that of England in 1461 was considerably less than 4 million, so the proportionate impact on the country must have been seismic. One in every hundred Englishmen died at Towton. Its impact must have been a bit like an English Hiroshima.

And, second, that, this being 1461, not a shot was fired. This was not industrial killing from a distance. Every Englishman who died at Towton was pierced by arrows, stabbed, bludgeoned or crushed by another Englishman. As a scene of hand-to-hand human brutality on a mass scale, Towton has absolutely no equal in our history. It was our very own day of wrath.

Towton is not a secret. It is in the books and on the maps. If you visit, there is a memorial. The same river which was so packed with corpses that men fled across them from one bank to the other still runs through it. If you study the Wars of the Roses, you learn it was a decisive Yorkist victory. If you go online you can discover some of the detective work done by the University of Bradford on mutilated skeletons exhumed from some of Towton's mass graves. And if you go to a performance of Henry VI Part 3, you will see that the national poet himself set potent scenes at Towton, where, in the thick of battle, a father finds he has killed his son and a son that he has killed his father, and where the watching and hapless Lancastrian king wishes himself among the dead - "For what is in this world but grief and woe?"

Questions of Culpability in WWI Still Divide German Historians - SPIEGEL ONLINE

Questions of Culpability in WWI Still Divide German Historians - SPIEGEL ONLINE:

"This year marks the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of World War I and the 75th of the start of World War II. Questions over the degree of German guilt remain contentious among historians, who have been fighting over the issue for years.

Read more: http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/questions-of-culpability-in-wwi-still-divide-german-historians-a-953173.html#ref=nl-international

[...]

This year will be a historic one, marking three important anniversaries: the 100th anniversary of the eruption of World War I, the 75th anniversary of the start of World War II and the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The first two dates have been the source of heated debates among German intellectuals. The Fischer controversy in the early 1960s had to do with assigning blame for the eruption of World War I, while the dispute between historians in the mid-1980s revolved around culpability for the Holocaust. Both debates were informed by the positions in what was then a divided nation, including views on German unification.

History is not just history, but also a part of the present. This is especially true of Germany. The overwhelming history of the 20th century engulfed the country and shaped the consciousness of politically active citizens.

Both debates ended in victory for those who advocated Germany accepting the greatest possible culpability and therefore sought to exclude the possibility of German reunification, fearing that a unified Germany could lead to fatal consequences, perhaps even a third world war. As a result, German consciousness was strongly influenced by this acceptance of guilt for decades to come.

A New Identity for Germans?

In the meantime, new information has come to light on the issues in both debates, which tends to support the losing side. Could this lead to a new national identity for Germans?

The importance of this question underscores the need to revisit the Fischer controversy and the dispute among historians in this historic year. It also focuses our attention, once again, on a controversial concept of the day: revisionism. It was once anathema to one side of the debate, and subsequently to the other. But it's a necessary debate.

New York Times: Turmoil in Cyprus Over a Bailout Rattles Europe

NICOSIA, Cyprus — Europe’s surprising decision early Saturday to force bank depositors in Cyprus to share in the cost of the latest euro zone bailout set off increasing outrage and turmoil in Cyprus on Sunday and fueled fears that the trouble will spread to countries like Spain and Italy.

Facing eroding support, the new president, Nicos Anastasiades, asked Parliament to postpone until Monday an emergency vote on a measure to approve the bailout terms, amid doubt that it would pass. The euro fell sharply against major currencies ahead of the action, as investors around the world absorbed the implications of Europe’s move.

In an address to the nation, Mr. Anastasiades painted an apocalyptic picture of what would happen if Cyprus did not approve the strict terms: a “complete collapse of the banking sector”; major losses for depositors and businesses; and a possible exit of Cyprus from the euro zone, the 17 countries that use the euro as their currency… http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/18/business/global/facing-bailout-tax-cypriots-rush-to-get-their-money-out-of-banks.html?nl=todaysheadlines&emc=edit_th_20130318&_r=0

Big fat Greek surprises January 30, 2013 by Kevin Dayhoff http://tinyurl.com/bf877cf

Kevin E. Dayhoff http://twitpic.com/bzmojj

In spite of the profoundly dulled senses that come as a result of a day of international travel, Greece takes hold of you the very moment you arrive at the Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport.

The airport, just about 20 kilometers above the sprawling megalopolis of Athens, opened on March 29, 2001, and it is named for a freedom fighter, revolutionary, statesman and charismatic leader from the early 1900s, who died in 1936...

I had the honor of visiting a monument in his honor near his hometown in Therisos gorge near Chania in Crete on January 7, and his gravesite memorial in Akrotiri, which is also near Chania, the next day.

This was my first trip to Greece… I traveled to Greece with a group of McDaniel College students and faculty members. It was more of an academic experience as opposed to a vacation, if you will.

Nevertheless, this article and several more that I researched and pre-wrote while in Greece should not be considered reporting – or the profile of a country – but rather a collection of thoughts and vignettes that lie more in the tradition of a travelogue.

After a few days in Greece, one is struck with a number of surprising observations; nothing profound – some amusing and some mundane. However, there were quite a few things about Greece that I did not expect… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5594

Demonstrations in Athens January 15, 2013 By Kevin E. Dayhoff http://tinyurl.com/bfr3n6u

Athens, Greece, January 12 – Demonstrators once again took to the streets in central Athens Saturday afternoon, in another of a long series of strikes, demonstrations and acts of civil disobedience that have rocked Greece since a worldwide economic downturn officially got underway in December 2007.

It was four years ago – in 2009 – that Greece kicked-off the year by announcing its budget deficit would be 12.9% of GDP, more than four times the European Union's 3% limit. Greece was first admitted into the EU in 1981, and in 2001 it joined the Eurozone… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5566

Various recent news accounts indicate that unemployment approaches 25 percent in Greece. Pensions have been reduced and salaries slashed anywhere from 30 to 60 percent.

Meanwhile last Saturday began with signs posted in the Metro that read: “Notice to Passengers. On Saturday 12/1/13, stations, Penepistimio, Syntagma, will remain closed from 10:00 for safety reason…”

[…] http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5566

Since 2010, Syntagma Square has served as a barometer for rising civil discontent over Greece’s ever-worsening economic crisis. In the past it has been the most popular locale for mass protests and tent-city like occupations, some of which have turned unexpectedly violent in which police have responded en masse with batons, shields and tear gas...

On Saturday, I witnessed more than 5,000 or 6,000 demonstrators marching past the National Archaeological Museum, in a dense, well-organized and loud processional that chanted a Greek chorus of anti-government slogans in a carefully choreographed cat-and-mouse theatrical routine with a full accompaniment of motorcycle police and a phalanx of paramilitary shock riot-police.

The Economist: Argentina’s debt default Gauchos and gadflies

I’ve read it several times and gain more insights every time I read it…

Creditors’ decade-long battle with Argentina shows just how tangled sovereign defaults can be Oct 22nd 2011 NEW YORKhttp://www.economist.com/node/21533453

AS GREECE flirts with disaster and several other European countries buckle under heavy debts, creditors’ experience with Argentina should serve as a sobering reminder about the mess that can follow a sovereign default. A decade after the Latin American country welshed on $81 billion, disgruntled creditors are still chasing their money. The litigation, and Argentina’s defiance in the face of judgments against it, complicate its plans to return to international capital markets....
