Marriage of Anne Boleyn to Henry VIII on this day in 1533. She had held out for years to be married, but conceded to a promise. She had been 'married' or entangled twice before, since returning from France to England age 21. She was 32 when she married Henry. Elizabeth was born on the seventh of September, 1533. Henry was a genius, but the murder of his wife, Anne was a monstrous wrong nothing he did reconciled.
Tatiana of Rome was martyred on this day in 235. And so Moscow University was founded on this day in 1755. Under Emperor Severus in 235, Rome had been tasked to get religious icons from religious institutions. This was intended to promote the old religion as it was feared that secularism was corroding Roman resolve. However Christians were the only large religious group who would not do that. The alternative was execution. According to legend, Tatiana was the daughter of a Roman civil servant and was secretly Christian. When commanded to pray to Apollo, she prayed instead to Jesus and an earthquake struck the statue of Apollo and broke it. So Tatiana was left at the feet of a lion, but the lion didn't eat her. So Tatiana's head was cut off. She died on this day in 235. Her story is similar to Prisca and Martina, In 1755, the lover of the Russian Empress Elizabeth had a mother named Tatiana. He was minister of Education (snigger) and Russia approved his application to found Moscow University.
Shay's rebellion flowered on this day with the largest confrontation outside a Springfield Armoury. The rebels were rebelling against high taxes following the end of the war of independence, as well as corruption. The rebellion temporarily brought George Washington out of retirement as a General on his way to inauguration. It caused a significant rethink as to federal powers over state powers.
Today, most people marry to Mendelssohn's wedding march, but on this day 1858, Queen Victoria's daughter, Victoria, married Friedrich of Prussia. Their fruitful union produced the Kaiser who took Germany to WW1. The musical piece was produced for Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream.
In 1881, Edison stood next to Bell as the two formed a partnership, founding Oriental Telephone Company. In 1890, Nellie Bly, a journalist, completed her journey around the world in 72 days. Nellie, whose real name was Elizabeth Jane Cochrane, was a beautiful young woman who had earlier exposed a deficient mental asylum by pretending to be insane. She effected real change for the patients. In 1971, three of Manson's female companions were found guilty of murder. On the same day Idi Amin seized power in Uganda. In 1981, Mao's wife was sentenced to death for her corruption, but the sentence was commuted to life and she suicided ten years later rather than be treated for cancer. In 2003, some left for Iraq volunteering to be human shields. In 2004, Opportunity rover landed on Mars.

Grants are necessary to support arts. Australia is not alone in the world in which the arts community has diverted public funds for left wing causes. It is not solely in the arts that funds are diverted to left wing causes. But the arts community is quite shameless about it. If you question it, you may be confronted with an attack "Back off, I'm an artist" and if you persist, your own credentials are questioned. What credentials do artists require? It is ok to question how public money is spent. It is understandable some might feel sensitive about their income. The lack of accountability, the apparent embezzlement and misuse of public funds is a threat to the art community. And it isn't artists who are defending it, but liars and thieves. Retaliation in the form of reduced funding is unlikely to hurt the thieves as much as it will hurt struggling artists reliant on the stream to further their skills.
The issue was driven home for me when, having lost my career through ALP government corruption, I tried to start a back up career in the arts community. I have no visual arts talent, and my musical talent is best employed as a backdrop for Monsters Inc. But I can write and churn out video. I have attracted some 1.8 million hits between iCompositions and Youtube (the iComposition account was killed by corrupt AGW advocates). I made enquiries from others who were attracting grants and put forward a proposal. I was willing to produce a video on the issue of community and policing. My subject matter was the case of Nicola Cotton, a young, pregnant, post Katrina police recruit who was alone when she was ordered to apprehend a deviant. They fought, he got her gun and killed her with it, then waited to be arrested. My target was youth who were offside with police in the community, kids need to know about the work police do and sacrifices they make, and a dramatic kung fu interpretation showing Nicola's last day seemed to serve that purpose. Naturally, the project was refused funding. It apparently didn't address youth issues as well as a drug harm minimisation project.
I made it anyway, without the dramatic recreation. One US based police remembrance group thanked me for it. I called it Picking Cotton. In working to establish a business, I am hoping to establish an independent production group that would produce local cultural material for video in High Definition (television ready) with a client licensing set up to produce income .. so an Ethiopian Pastor I know could produce material he could use in Ethiopia or in that community in Australia. I tell a producer friend of mine about it and they comment "But ICE (Information cultural exchange) already do that." Except, they fail.

Mr Ball, I will not sign your petition as it will do no good, but I will share your message and ask as many of friends who read it, to share it also. Let us see if we cannot use the power of the internet to spread the word of these infamous killings. As a father and a former soldier, I cannot, could not, justify ignoring this appalling action by the perpetrators, whoever they may; I thank you Douglas. You are wrong about the petition. Signing it is as worthless and meaningless an act as voting. A stand up guy would know that. - ed
Lorraine Allen Hider I signed the petition ages ago David, with pleasure, nobody knows what it's like until they've been there. Keep heart David take care.
