Citizens Police Academy Week 4: Dogs, drugs and 'the unknown' of traffic stops
Heather Mongilio

For the second time in about a month, I was staring at gun that was being pointed at me. Time stopped, and I froze. The whole thing happened because of a "simple" traffic stop. I wasn't in any danger. The gun wasn't real, and the person pointing it at me was a police academy recruit. It was another...

Not all police work involves split-second decision-making when it comes to use of force. Some of it involves taking the time to investigate the minute details of a crime scene and collect evidence. Which is why the 14 other members of the class and I, while standing in a classroom at the Public...

Sat., May 14, 2016 - Irises - of all the perennial flowers of the spring, irises are one of my favorites. I found this one in the planting area that Lyndi McNulty helps oversee at the parking lot near Harry's Main Street Grille. Irises are one of a number of perennials that I grew when I farmed for a living. It remains one of my favorites in spite of the fact that irises can be a pain to grow in large numbers in a container operation. The flowers are spectacular.

Germania: The Battle Against Rome - Documentary

Arminius - born as the son of a Cheruscan, abducted as a pawn of the Romans, and raised as a soldier, he returns to subdued Germania under Emperor Augustus. He makes himself the leader of the revolt against Rome, resulting in the destruction of the legions of Varus in the year 9 AD.

Battle in the Teutoburg Forrest... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbZVrWUlJ0A

"Be a Roman - learn Latin... Be an educated Roman - learn Greek."

"The Battle of the Teutoburg Forest (German: Schlacht im Teutoburger Wald, Hermannsschlacht or Varusschlacht), described as clades Variana (the Varian disaster) by Roman historians..."

http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-ambush-that-changed-history-72636736/?no-ist

"... one of the pivotal events in European history took place here: in A.D. 9, three crack legions of Rome’s army were caught in an ambush and annihilated..."

[...]

"It was a defeat so catastrophic that it threatened the survival of Rome itself and halted the empire’s conquest of Germany. 'This was a battle that changed the course of history,' says Peter S. Wells, a specialist in Iron Age European archaeology at the University of Minnesota and the author of The Battle That Stopped Rome.

"'It was one of the most devastating defeats ever suffered by the Roman Army, and its consequences were the most far-reaching. The battle led to the creation of a militarized frontier in the middle of Europe that endured for 400 years, and it created a boundary between Germanic and Latin cultures that lasted 2,000 years.'

Had Rome not been defeated, says historian Herbert W. Benario, emeritus professor of classics at Emory University, a very different Europe would have emerged. “Almost all of modern Germany as well as much of the present-day Czech Republic would have come under Roman rule. All Europe west of the Elbe might well have remained Roman Catholic; Germans would be speaking a Romance language; the Thirty Years’ War might never have occurred, and the long, bitter conflict between the French and the Germans might never have taken place.”
