Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Hugh Thompson Jr (1943–2006), published by Gavin on December 10, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. On the 30th anniversary of the massacre, Thompson went back to My Lai and met some of the people whose lives he had saved. "One of the ladies that we had helped out that day came up to me and asked, ‘Why didn't the people who committed these acts come back with you?' And I was just devastated. And then she finished her sentence: she said, ‘So we could forgive them.' I'm not man enough to do that. I'm sorry. I wish I was, but I won't lie to anybody. I'm not that much of a man." Hugh Thompson was a volunteer officer in the Vietnam War who turned his squad's weapons on American soldiers to stop them raping and murdering more women and children than the four or five hundred they already had. He models the standard idea of heroism: one day, one decision, clarity, evil men to defy, faces you can see. Then, a system to navigate, betrayal, self-sacrifice, being punished for virtue. I'm writing about him because of how the story makes me feel. It is a fault of my feeling that I feel like this about Thompson and not Borlaug. One day Thompson and his crew, who at first thought the artillery bombardment caused all the civilian deaths on the ground, became aware that Americans were murdering the villagers after a wounded civilian woman they requested medical evacuation for, Nguyễn Thị Tẩu, was murdered right in front of them by Captain Medina, the commanding officer of the operation... "It was a Nazi kind of thing." Immediately realizing that the soldiers intended to murder the Vietnamese civilians, Thompson landed his helicopter between the advancing ground unit and the villagers. He turned to Colburn and Andreotta and ordered them to shoot the men in the 2nd Platoon if they attempted to kill any of the fleeing civilians... “Open up on ‘em. Blow ‘em away.” While Colburn and Andreotta trained their guns on the 2nd Platoon, Thompson located as many civilians as he could, persuaded them to follow him to a safer location, and ensured their evacuation... "Later that day, sometime in the afternoon, after they had gone through the village, we were back out there again. [The murderers] were just casually, nonchalantly sitting around around smoking and joking with their steel pots off just like nothing had happened. There were five or six hundred bodies less than a quarter of a mile from them. I just couldn't understand it." ...senior American Division officers cancelled similar planned operations by Task Force Barker against other villages... possibly preventing the additional massacre of further hundreds, if not thousands, of Vietnamese civilians. Synecdoche in the Vietnamese province of Quang Ngai, where the Mỹ Lai massacre occurred, up to 70% of all villages were destroyed by the air strikes and artillery bombardments, including the use of napalm; 40 percent of the population were refugees, and the overall civilian casualties were close to 50,000 a year... 203 U.S. personnel were charged with crimes, 57 of them were court-martialed and 23 of them were convicted. The VWCWG also investigated over 500 additional alleged atrocities but it could not verify them. [A draw: ] PFC Herbert L. Carter; shot himself in the foot while reloading his pistol and claimed that he shot himself in the foot in order to be MEDEVACed out of the village when the massacre started. Coverup Thompson quickly received the Distinguished Flying Cross for his actions at Mỹ Lai. The citation for the award fabricated events, for example praising Thompson for taking to a hospital a Vietnamese child "...caught in intense crossfire". It also stated that his "...sound judgment had greatly enhanced Vietnamese–American relations in the operational area". Thompson threw away the citation. Initial reports claimed "128 Viet C...

Justiz in Hongkong erhebt Anklage gegen Demokratie-Aktivisten wegen Abspaltung Die Hongkonger Justiz hat erstmals Anklage gegen einen bekannten Demokratie-Aktivisten auf Grundlage des von China erlassenen sogenannten Sicherheitsgesetzes erhoben. Dem 19-jährigen Tony Chung wurde vor Gericht unter anderem Abspaltung vorgeworfen. Er war zuvor in unmittelbarer Nähe des US-Konsulats in Hongkong festgenommen worden. Die Justiz wirft Chung außerdem Geldwäsche und Verschwörung zur Veröffentlichung aufrührerischer Inhalte vor. Seit Juni können die Behörden in der Sonderverwaltungszone auf das von Peking verabschiedete Sicherheitsgesetz für Hongkong zurückgreifen. US-Metropole Philadelphia verhängt Ausgangssperre nach Protesten gegen Polizeigewalt Die US-Metropole Philadelphia hat wegen der Ausschreitungen nach den tödlichen Polizeischüssen auf einen Afroamerikaner eine nächtliche Ausgangssperre verhängt. Die Stadtverwaltung kündigte das Ausgehverbot für die Zeit von Mittwochabend 21 Uhr Ortszeit bis Donnerstagmorgen 6 Uhr an. In der Stadt an der US-Ostküste war es nach tödlichen Polizeischüssen auf einen 27-jährigen Schwarzen zwei Nächte in Folge zu schweren Ausschreitungen und Plünderungen gekommen. Zwei weiße Polizisten hatten am Montag den mit einem Messer bewaffneten Mann erschossen, als dieser sich einer Festnahme widersetzte. US-Pharmakonzern Gilead steigert Umsatz dank Corona-Medikament Remdesivir um fast 900 Milliarden Dollar Der US-Pharmakonzern Gilead hat eigenen Angaben zufolge im dritten Quartal seinen Umsatz um 17 Prozent auf 6,6 Milliarden US-Dollar gesteigert. Maßgeblich dazu beigetragen hat das Corona-Mittel Remdesivir mit rund 873 Millionen Dollar. Der Ertrag pro Aktie lag mit 2 Dollar und 11 Cent über den von Experten erwarteten 1 Dollar 90. Für das Gesamtjahr zeigte sich Gilead allerdings etwa pessimistischer. Das Unternehmen erwartet einen Umsatz zwischen 23 und 23,5 Milliarden Dollar verglichen mit der vorherigen Prognose von 23 bis 25 Milliarden Dollar. Tote und viele Vermisste nach Erdrutsch in Vietnam Bei einem Erdrutsch infolge des Taifuns "Molave" sind in Vietnam mindestens 13 Menschen ums Leben gekommen. Weitere 40 Menschen gelten als vermisst. Die Rettungsarbeiten würden durch das schlechte Wetter behindert, teilte die Regierung mit. Nach Angaben der Behörden löste "Molave" mit heftigen Regenfällen und starken Böen Überflutungen aus, in mehreren Millionen Haushalten fiel der Strom aus und rund 56.000 Häuser wurden zerstört. Der Taifun war am Mittwoch mit heftigem Wind, Starkregen und meterhohen Wellen über die zentralen Provinzen Quang Nam und Quang Ngai hinweggefegt. Hurrikan "Zeta" trifft US-Bundesstaat Louisiana mit großer Wucht Der Wirbelsturm "Zeta" hat mit Windgeschwindigkeiten von bis zu 175 Stundenkilometern die US-Küste getroffen. Im Bundesstaat Louisiana verursachte er heftige Überschwemmung, ließ Häuser einstürzen und sorgte für Stromausfälle. In New Orleans starb ein Mann durch eine gerissene Stromleitung. Zuvor hatte "Zeta" Teile von Mexiko verwüstet und 27 Menschen getötet. Es ist in der noch bis November dauernden Hurrikan-Saison bereits der elfte Hurrikan, der auf Land getroffen ist, noch nie waren es mehr. Wetter-Experten sehen die hohe Zahl an Wirbelstürmen als ein Indiz für den Klimawandel.

Quy Nhon is a coastal city and the capital of Binh Dinh Province in central Vietnam, is surrounded by Quang Ngai province to the north, Gia Lai province to the east and Phu Yen province to the south. Rising as a new hotspot for beach lovers, Quy Nhon becomes an ideal place for people who crave for golden sands, clear seawater and a peaceful atmosphere. Located in the South Central Coast of Vietnam and attracting thousands of visitors every year, Quy Nhon is slowly proving that it is one of the hidden gems in the region. In recent years, Binh Dinh province has a significant shift towards a potential destination for innovation and investment hub in the Central Region of Vietnam. Binh Dinh particularly ranked well for the streamlining of administrative procedures for investment, land, and construction. The Binh Dinh authority has encouraged investment in the tourism industry, high-tech, IT and supporting industries. Let's listen to our special guests today, Mr. Marko Walde, Chief representative of the AHK Vietnam and Dr Nguyen Huu Le, Chairman of TMA Solutions, sharing about their experiences, opinions and especially future plans for the city Quy Nhon and Binh Dinh province!

01MAR1969: Pfc Daniel Bruce, having just arrived in Vietnam a few months prior, found himself manning a fighting position at Fire Support Base Tomahawk in Quang Ngai province. Tasked with keeping watch and protecting all Marines inside the wire, Pfc Bruce was alerted when he heard rustling in the brush to his direct front. Soon, an enemy explosive charge was thrown in the darkness and landed next to Bruce. The charge was designed to blow a hole in the US perimeter, allowing enemy forces to charge through and attack the unsuspecting Marines asleep in their bunks. The charge couldn't be allowed to go off anywhere near Bruce's position. Not knowing how far away he needed to get the device and not wanting to risk another Marine being wounded, Bruce grabbed the explosive, held it close to his chest and alerting his fellow Marines to the danger took off running away from the perimeter. Shortly thereafter, the device detonated, killing Pfc Bruce but saving the lives of the men in his fighting position and maybe preventing a much deadlier attack on the entire position. For his sacrifice and incredible bravery, Pfc Daniel Bruce would be posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.

Sí, acá se inunda todos los años, y todos los años perdemos todo nuestro ganado, todas nuestras posesiones, y aún así no nos desplazamos a otra provincia. Simplemente, no nos desplazamos. Todos los años, la inundación se vuelve más severa. Parece que en el mundo hay cada vez más agua. Hay cada vez más agua en el mundo. Lo peor es que el agua ya no retrocede por completo después de una inundación, sino que nos llega hasta los tobillos adentro de la casa. La solución que encontramos es levantar el piso. Pero el agua sigue subiendo, y todos los años tenemos que levantar el piso un poco más, un poco más cerca del techo.

Backyennew says his son already regularly played Minecraft with his friends, so it quickly became their go-to hangout after the Japanese government closed schools two weeks ago in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Using it as a social space to hold their own graduation ceremony just made sense. It looks like these kids built a whole dang assembly hall, complete with a stage, seating, and a proper red carpet which they could all walk down in order to receive their virtual diplomas. The backdrop is even emblazoned with the word "Summer," just to reinforce the end-of-school vibes. Japanese netizens seemed to feel the same way with their comments:“The kids are all right.”“Parents are doing ‘telework’ and kids are doing ‘telegraduation.'”“I’m so jealous of what awesome things kids have these day.”“Those who say video games are bad, look at this!”“This will probably be an even better memory than a regular graduation for them.”16 March 2020 – Sonic beats Detective Pikachu…in the box office - https://movieweb.com/sonic-the-hedgehog-video-game-movies-box-office/Sonic the Hedgehog has managed to claim a record by becoming the highest-grossing video game adaptation of all time, at least at the domestic box-office. The Paramount production currently stands at a little above $145 million dollars domestic collection. This puts it slightly ahead of Detective Pikachu, which managed to make around $144 million domestically. However, Detective Pikachu is still ahead of Sonic the Hedgehog in international territories, with earnings of over $400 million dollars. The future of video game movies appears to be looking bright now, with the medium finally being considered seriously by big Hollywood studios which are willing to allocate huge budgets and significant star power to those projects.16 March 2020 – Steam hits 20 million concurrent users - https://www.pcgamesn.com/steam/20-million-users-coronavirusThe precise number being 20,313,451. Curiously, though 20 million is the highest since records began, the number of in-game players is yet to break records. It appears a lot of users are idling in their library, browsing the store, or have just left it running in the background. The top game as we speak is CS:GO at 971k, followed by Dota 2 with 616k and PUBG at 264k. The 14 million difference between those logged into Steam and those playing is substantial, but this record at least points to continued growth for Valve’s platform. Increased competition from companies like Epic doesn’t appear to have caused any major issues, though Fortnite did once beat Steam’s in-game player record all on its own.Remembrances16 March 1935 – John Macleod - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Macleod_(physiologist)John James Rickard Macleod, Scottish biochemist and physiologist. He devoted his career to diverse topics in physiology and biochemistry, but was chiefly interested in carbohydrate metabolism. He is noted for his role in the discovery and isolation of insulin during his tenure as a lecturer at the University of Toronto, for which he and Frederick Banting received the 1923 Nobel prize in Physiology or Medicine. Awarding the prize to Macleod was controversial at the time, because according to Banting's version of events, Macleod's role in the discovery was negligible. It was not until decades after the events that an independent review acknowledged a far greater role than was attributed to him at first. He died after suffering from several years of arthritis at the age of 58 in Aberdeen.16 March 2012 – Donald E. Hillman - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_E._HillmanDonald Edison Hillman, American World War II flying ace and prisoner of war credited with five enemy aircraft destroyed. He was also the first American pilot, in 1952, to make a deep-penetration overflight of Soviet territory for the purpose of aerial reconnaissance. He flew a Boeing B-47B Stratojet which left Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska. It crossed over the Arctic ocean, turned eastwards back over Siberia, and returned to Eielson via Provideniya. It was the United States' first deep-penetration reconnaissance mission against the Soviet Union. He died at the age of 93 in Seattle, Washington.16 March 2016 – Alexander Esenin-Volpin - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Esenin-VolpinAlexander Sergeyevich Esenin-Volpin, Russian-American poet and mathematician. A notable dissident,political prisoner and a leader of the Soviet human rights movement, he spent a total of six years incarcerated and repressed by the Soviet authorities in psikhushkas and exile. In mathematics, he is known for his foundational role in ultrafinitism. His early work was in general topology, where he introduced Esenin-Volpin's theorem. Most of his later work was on the foundations of mathematics, where he introduced ultrafinitism, an extreme form of constructive mathematics that casts doubt on the existence of not only infinite sets, but even of large integers such as 1012. He died at the age of 91 in Boston.Famous Birthdays16 March 1774 – Captain Matthew Flinders - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_FlindersEnglish navigator and cartographer who led the second circumnavigation of New Holland that he would subsequently call "Australia or Terra Australis" and identified it as a continent. Flinders made three voyages to the Southern Ocean between 1791 and 1810. In the second voyage, George Bass and Flinders confirmed that Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania) was an island. In the third voyage, Flinders circumnavigated the mainland of what was to be called Australia, accompanied by Aboriginal man Bungaree. Heading back to England in 1803, Flinders' vessel needed urgent repairs at Isle de France (Mauritius). Although Britain and France were at war, Flinders thought the scientific nature of his work would ensure safe passage, but a suspicious governor kept him under arrest for more than six years. In captivity, he recorded details of his voyages for future publication, and put forward his rationale for naming the new continent 'Australia', as an umbrella term for New Holland and New South Wales – a suggestion taken up later by Governor Macquarie. He was born in Donington, Lincolnshire.16 March 1840 – Shibusawa Eiichi - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shibusawa_EiichiShibusawa Eiichi, 1st Viscount Shibusawa, Japanese industrialist widely known today as the "father of Japanese capitalism". He spearheaded the introduction of Western capitalism to Japan after the Meiji Restoration. He introduced many economic reforms including use of double-entry accounting, joint-stock corporations and modern note-issuing banks. He founded the first modern bank based on joint stock ownership in Japan. The bank was aptly named The First National Bank (Dai Ichi Kokuritsu Ginkō, now merged into Mizuho Bank) and had the power to issue its own notes. Through this bank, he founded hundreds of other joint stock corporations in Japan. Many of these companies still survive to this day as quoted companies in the Tokyo Stock Exchange, which Shibusawa also founded. The Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry was founded by him as well. He was also involved in the foundation of many hospitals, schools, universities (including the first women's university), the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo and charitable organizations including the Japan Red Cross. On April 9, 2019, it was announced that Eiichi would be the historical figure featured on Japanese ¥10000 banknotes expected to enter circulation around 2024. He was born in Fukaya, Saitama.16 March 1856 – Napoléon, Prince Imperial - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napol%C3%A9on,_Prince_ImperialNapoléon Eugène Louis Jean Joseph Bonaparte, prince imperial, the only child of Emperor Napoleon III and his wife, Eugénie de Montijo. After his father was dethroned in 1870, he relocated with his family to England. On his father's death in January 1873, he was proclaimed by the Bonapartist faction as Napoleon IV, Emperor of the French. The asteroid moon Petit-Prince was named after the Prince Imperial in 1998, because it orbits an asteroid named after his mother (45 Eugenia). He was born in Paris, French Empire.16 March 1936 – Raymond Damadian - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_DamadianRaymond Vahan Damadian, American physician, medical practitioner, and inventor of the first MR (Magnetic Resonance) Scanning Machine. Damadian's research into sodium and potassium in living cells led him to his first experiments with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) which caused him to first propose the MR body scanner in 1969. Damadian discovered that tumors and normal tissue can be distinguished in vivo by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) because of their prolonged relaxation times, both T1 (spin-lattice relaxation) or T2 (spin-spin relaxation). Damadian was the first to perform a full body scan of a human being in 1977 to diagnose cancer. Damadian invented an apparatus and method to use NMR safely and accurately to scan the human body, a method now well known as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). He went on to collaborate with Wilson Greatbach, one early developer of the implantable pacemaker, to develop an MRI-compatible pacemaker. He was born in New York City, New York.16 March 1971 – Alan Tudyk - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_TudykAlan Wray Tudyk, American actor and voice actor. He is known for his roles as Hoban "Wash" Washburne in the space western series Firefly and the film Serenity and Tucker McGee in Tucker & Dale vs. Evil. He has also had starring roles in the films DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story,I, Robot,A Knight's Tale, Transformers: Dark of the Moon and Rogue One. Since voicing King Candy in 2012's Wreck-It Ralph, Tudyk has voiced characters in every Walt Disney Animation Studios feature film. He wrote, directed, and starred in the comedy web series Con Man (2015–17) about a struggling actor whose career is still defined by a successful science fiction TV show he was once on, loosely based on Tudyk's own experience having been on Firefly. The series aired on Syfy in 2017 and earned him a Primetime Emmy Award nomination. As of 2019, Tudyk plays the main antagonist, Mr. Nobody, in the DC Universe series Doom Patrol. He was born in El Paso, Texas.Events of Interest16 March 1926 – First liquid-fueled rocket - https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/first-liquid-fueled-rocketAmerican Robert H. Goddard, successfully launches the world’s first liquid-fueled rocket at Auburn, Massachusetts, on March 16, 1926. The rocket traveled for 2.5 seconds at a speed of about 60 mph, reaching an altitude of 41 feet and landing 184 feet away. The rocket was 10 feet tall, constructed out of thin pipes, and was fueled by liquid oxygen and gasoline. His work was recognized by the aviator Charles A. Lindbergh, who helped secure him a grant from the Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics. Using these funds, Goddard set up a testing ground in Roswell, New Mexico, which operated from 1930 until 1942. During his tenure there, he made 31 successful flights, including one of a rocket that reached 1.7 miles off the ground in 22.3 seconds. Meanwhile, while Goddard conducted his limited tests without official U.S. support, Germany took the initiative in rocket development and by September 1944 was launching its V-2 guided missiles against Britain to devastating effect. During the war, Goddard worked in developing a jet-thrust booster for a U.S. Navy seaplane. He would not live to see the major advances in rocketry in the 1950s and ’60s that would make his dreams of space travel a reality. NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, is named in his honor.16 March 1968 – My Lai Masscre - https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/my-lai-massacre-takes-place-in-vietnamA platoon of American soldiers brutally kills as many as 500 unarmed civilians at My Lai, one of a cluster of small villages located near the northern coast of South Vietnam. The crime, which was kept secret for nearly two years, later became known as the My Lai Massacre. a platoon of soldiers from Charlie Company received word that Viet Cong guerrillas had taken cover in the Quang Ngai village of Son My. The platoon entered one of the village’s four hamlets, My Lai 4, on a search-and-destroy mission on the morning of March 16. Instead of guerrilla fighters, they found unarmed villagers, most of them women, children and old men. The soldiers had been advised before the attack by army command that all who were found in My Lai could be considered VC or active VC sympathizers, and were told to destroy the village. the massacre reportedly ended when an Army helicopter pilot, Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson, landed his aircraft between the soldiers and the retreating villagers and threatened to open fire if they continued their attacks. The events at My Lai were covered up by high-ranking army officers until investigative journalist Seymour Hersh broke the story. Soon, My Lai was front-page news and an international scandal.16 March 2001 – Terminator has a rare theatrical re-release -https://www.scifihistory.net/march-16.htmlOn this day in 2001, The Terminator enjoyed a rare theatrical re-release in the United Kingdom. Written and directed by James Cameron, the SciFi/Thriller starred Michael Biehn and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and here's the plot summary:"In 1984, a human soldier is tasked to stop an indestructible cyborg killing machine, both sent from 2029, from executing a young woman, whose unborn son is the key to humanity's future salvation."Follow us onFacebookPage - https://www.facebook.com/NerdsAmalgamated/Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/440485136816406/Twitter - https://twitter.com/NAmalgamatedSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6Nux69rftdBeeEXwD8GXrSiTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/top-shelf-nerds/id1347661094RSS - http://www.thatsnotcanonproductions.com/topshelfnerdspodcast?format=rssInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/nerds_amalgamated/General EnquiriesEmail - Nerds.Amalgamated@gmail.comRate & Review us on Podchaser - https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/nerds-amalgamated-623195

 Le personnage de Tarzan a-t-il existé ou a-t-il été inventé de toutes pièces?  Tarzan est né en 1912 sous la plume du romancier américain Edgar Rice Burroughs. Ce personnage a été créé pour le roman Tarzan seigneur de la jungle publié pour la première fois en France en 1926 chez Fayard sous le titre Tarzan chez les singes. À  sa sortie initiale, en 1912, l'auteur de Tarzan a vraiment  été victime du succès de son roman et a du coup écrit 26 romans et recueils de nouvelles sur ce même personnage.   Tarzan a bien sur de nombreux traits communs avec Mowgli du Livre de la Jungle paru en 1894, du personnage de Vendredi dans Robinson Crusoé, ou bien encore de Saturnin Farandoul imaginé en 1879 par Albert Robida. Cet auteur a écrit un roman de 800 pages intitulé Voyages très extraordinaires de Saturnin Farandoul qui raconte le naufrage d'un bateau à bord duquel se trouve Saturnin, un bébé de 4 mois, dont le berceau va échouer sur une île peuplée de singes qui vont l'adopter.   Saturnin Farandoul est donc, 33 ans avant Tarzan, le premier personnage de roman à être élevé dans la jungle. Il est vrai qu'on n'a moins entendu parler des histoires de Saturnin puisqu'en France il ne resterait plus que 100 exemplaires de ce roman. Évidemment, tous ces personnages ont été inspirés par de vrais cas d'enfants sauvages... Au début du 20 e siècle, il y avait beaucoup d'histoires autour d'enfants qui grandissaient seuls dans la forêt… Certaines de ces histoires étaient inventées de toutes pièces mais d'autres étaient absolument avérées. En France, le plus célèbre enfant sauvage est bien entendu Victor de l'Aveyron découvert à l'âge de 10 ans en 1800 dans une forêt.   Il existe aussi l'histoire d'un certain William Charles Mildin qui aurait passé 15 ans dans la jungle entre 1868 et 1883, donc avant la rédaction du premier Tarzan de 1912. William Charles Mildin avait écrit ses mémoires dans lesquels il a raconté sa propre histoire. On peut lire qu'à l'âge de 11 ans il aurait fugé de chez lui et serait aller proposer ses services comme mousse sur un bateau qui portait le nom d'Antilla et qui partait pour l'Afrique. Mais le navire aurait fait naufrage ente Pointe Noire et Libreville et William aurait été l'un des rescapés de l'accident. Si l'on en croit son récit, il aurait échoué sur un rivage d'afrique équatoriale et aurait été je cite ses mémoires adopté par des singes bienveillants qui lui auraient donné nourriture et protection. Quelques années plus tard, ce même William Charles Mildin aurait rencontré des indigènes avec lesquels il aurait vécu pour finalement se marier avec 5 femmes de la tribu et obtenir quatre enfants. Mildin aurait ensuite abandonné femmes et enfants pour tenter de regagner l'Angleterre... On n'a jamais su si il s'agissait d'une histoire fabulée par son narrateur ou s'il s'agissait de la réalité.  Mais il est possible qu'Edgar Rice Burroughs se soit inspiré de ce récit pour donner corps à Tarzan. Depuis, il y aurait eu de nouveaux cas de Tarzan dans le monde. Le dernier fait connu date de 2013, dans la jungle vietnamienne, où ont été retrouvés un homme de 85 ans et son fils de 44 ans qui avaient fui les bombardements américains en 1973 et qui auraient passé 40 ans dans la nature sans aucun contact avec le monde extérieur. Ho Van Thanh et son fils Ho Van Lang  ont en effet vécu dans la jungle de Quang Ngai sans jamais entrer en contact avec la civilisation moderne pendant 40 ans pour échapper à la mort. Ce sont les autorités vietnamiennes qui les ont finalement retrouvés alors qu'ils vivaient dans une cabane dans un arbre. Pendant toutes ces années, ils se sont nourris  exclusivement de produits de la chasse et de la cueillette et ils ont construit leurs propres outils à l'aide de débris de bombes. Et pour leurs habits, tout était fait à partir d'écorce d'arbre. Quoiqu'il en soit, le cinéma a joué un grand rôle pour donner vie au personnage de Tarzan à travers d'un nombreux films et dessins animés. Et on se souviendra notamment du film de 1932 intitulé Tarzan l'homme singe qui a fabriqué un des premiers trucages sonores du cinéma pour le cri de Tarzan en mixant la voix de son acteur d'origine autrichienne  chantant du yodel avec des cris d'animaux.   Aujourd'hui on ne compte plus les adaptations de tarzan au cinéma, à la télévision, en produits dérivés, en figurines, en dessins animés, en chansons (le mythique « Tarzan Boy » de Baltimora en 1985) mais aussi en films X, car Tarzan peut semble t il être source d'excitation pour certaines et certains.  

U.S. soldiers massacre 500 civilians at My Lai, Vietnam. While serving in Vietnam in late 1967, a U.S. Army regiment named Charlie Company suffered one casualty and several injuries from a Viet Cong booby trap in Quang Ngai province. Captain Ernest Medina, set on revenge, gave the men a pep talk and plotted the destruction of the village known as My Lai 4. At 7:22 a.m. on March 16, 1968, U.S. Army helicopters stormed the village of 700. Their mission was to root out the Viet Cong, and despite a lack of evidence that the village was harbouring enemy soldiers, the troop proceeded to murder men, women and children of all ages. Many who offered no resistance were shot in the back or at close range, regardless. One group was in a drainage ditch as the soldiers fired on them. When a two-year-old boy rose to run from the ditch, platoon leader William Calley threw him back in and shot him. In the end, 500 civilians were killed and a cover-up ensued that took months to bring to light. When the Pentagon’s General William Peers completed his closed-door investigation, he recommended action be taken against the enlisted men and officers for rape, murder and the cover-up. In the end, only Calley was convicted of murder, and President Nixon’s secretary of the Army released him on parole. However, the public’s outraged reaction to the massacre was instrumental in turning American public opinion against the war. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

David Entin served in Vietnam from 1966 to 1968. But NOT as a soldier. Instead, he worked for USAID (United States Agency for International Development) in the province of Quang Ngai where he had some of the most memorable, paradigm-shifting experiences of his life. He experienced both the beauty of the Vietnamese countryside and the horror of war from the vantage point of a helicopter. He witnessed the hypocrisy of the war on a personal level too as it played out in his workplace role after the Tet Offensive.

Steven Hairfield is my Author of many books, CD's DVD's, Lecturer, and Counselor. Steven's Website: http://hairfield.com/ At the beginning of his lectures and workshops, Dr. Steven L. Hairfield likes to ask his audience: “What if what you term as God heard everything you thought and considered it a request for it to give you what you were thinking? Would you change the way that you think?” Dr. Hairfield has an interesting and fascinating background. Having been raised in a very normal environment, he decided to serve his country in the military, during a rather troubled era. His duties and expertise led him to Vietnam. Anyone who was there can tell you that it was not a pleasant experience. His search for peaceful answers and higher understanding guided his steps within the walls of a Zen Buddhist monastery in Quang Ngai, South Vietnam, where he would take refuge and study whenever he could. His natural curiosity, blended with a very acute intuitive sense led him to deeper questions of life and the purpose of self. The monks began to insist that he should learn of Issa. He then learned that Issa was in fact Jesus. He later learned that Issa, Jesus, had spent much time in what is now known today as India, Pakistan, Ladak, Nepal, and Tibet before returning to the Middle East to carry out His mission. This truly inspired his personal search for knowledge and a passion to somehow recreate the Master's 18 years not mentioned in the Bible. He had set a goal that would intrigue and shock him later, but first, he had to understand what made the human mind work in the fashion that it does. Upon his return to the United States he studied for and received a B.A. in Psychology. Then pushed by his dream for Universal Truth, he traveled to India following an inner urge which led him to his greatest teachers and lessons, Tibetan Masters.

Would you change the way that you think? He also asks this “Do you feel as though something is about to happen?” These questions generally trigger a myriad of thoughts and surprise in the visions and minds of the listeners present.
