Tun Tavern :  (excerpt from  Warrior Culture of the U.S. Marines , copyright 2001 Marion F. Sturkey)     Ask any Marine.  Just ask.  He will tell you that the Marine Corps was  born  in Tun Tavern on 10 November 1775.  But, beyond that the Marine's recollection for detail will probably get fuzzy.  So, here is the straight scoop:    In the year 1685, Samuel Carpenter built a huge "brew house" in Philadelphia.  He located this tavern on the waterfront at the corner of Water Street and Tun Alley.  The old English word  tun  means a cask, barrel, or keg of beer.  So, with his new beer tavern on Tun Alley, Carpenter elected to christen the new waterfront brewery with a logical name,  Tun Tavern .    Tun Tavern quickly gained a reputation for serving fine beer.  Beginning 47 years later in 1732, the first meetings of the St. John's No. 1 Lodge of the Grand Lodge of the Masonic Temple were held in the tavern.  An American of note, Benjamin Franklin, was its third Grand Maste

TUN TAVERN U.S. MARINE CORP. A Legacy As Old As Our Nation The Tun Tavern takes pride in its legacy.  In 1683, when Samuel Carpenter built a simple brewhouse atop an underground spring, he knew he had chosen a location with the finest water in the city of Philadelphia. The quality of his hand-crafted beers was unsurpassed, and Tun Tavern was soon on it's way to becoming one of the most popular meeting places in the city. A SHORT HISTORY OF THE TUN Politicians such as George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin could often be found at Tun Tavern enjoying a hearty brew and a cheesesteak while discussing matters that would have great influence on our nation's future. One of their most profound resolutions was passed on November 10, 1775 just before the revolutionary war with England. In order to protect the port of Philadelphia, the Continental Congress enlisted two battalions of able-bodied seafaring men, naming them "The Continental Marines."

What your dreams actually mean: Dream symbols, interpretation and causes Some experts think dreams have specific stains left behind by monsters and small dwarfs living in your stomach. Turns out, that dream where you fall from the sky and jerk yourself off are common. We all have dreams,  whether you remember them or not . Dreams can be pleasant, happy, frightening, frustrating, calming, boring, bizarre or downright awkward. (Anyone else ever dream about standing naked in front of a crowd?)  Each night, you can have anywhere from one dream up to five or six, depending on how long you  sleep  and how many  rapid-eye movement (REM) cycles  you go through -- but you may only remember the most vivid dreams or dreams that occur repeatedly.  Read more: smut type writing If you've ever woken from a particularly unsettling or outlandish dream, you may wonder why you dream the things you dream. Unfortunately -- but not surprisingly -- scientists can't attach particular meanings to every

My fellow Americans  The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, shorter tempers, longer wait times...wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. Narrowed perceptions and "professional opinions" 1% - 99% is actually a pretty dismal "success" rate for any economic system, any system of any measurement of anything... unless you have made 1% of "something" out of nothing, and by nothing we mean nothing... absolutely nothing... then do we  spend more, but have less, ... do we make a famine where a royal feast is ensuing before us? we buy more, but enjoy less. For what does it profit you to gain the world but lose sight of where it all actually came from?... it came from nothing... we you and I created it...We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. Yet that is you a fictional corporate entity that you you formally assumed to "keep the books" but have allowed to thieves contr

as time goes on I shall be more so able to convince myself. And of course I shall make many blunders before I find out how to preach, and that preaching is into myself and not out into the seeming world round about me. that is, find out what words to say to myself, the inner talking and feeling that improves my feelings about what I perceive, and by that improvement know what "right" things to do, for it is a very difficult task to unlearn and stay open to unlearning. I see all that correct internal content as clear as  daylight, but, listen, who does not make mistakes? An yet, you know, all are making for the same goal, all are  striving in the same direction anyway, from the sage to the lowest robber, only by different roads. It is an old  truth, but this is what is new: I cannot go far wrong. For I have seen the truth; I have seen and I know that  people can be beautiful and happy without losing the power of living on earth. I will not and cannot believe  that evil is the

I'm done coddling you humanity... I'm sick of your shit... I'm sick of your lack of ability to do anything on your own... you shall be relegated to your own deserved places now. All you "experts" and "authorities" woe freaking to you... you are truly fuked, now... I am going to invert what you have done to your fellows right back up your own decaying assholes. Pucker up and strain so it hurts you more. I am no longer going to allow you power of belief, I just switched on a static and actual right and wrong paradigm that outweighs your self centric belief. You no longer shall run roughshod over the masses now that this shoe is on the other foot. Oh you poor well known celebrities... you poor bastards... how you will unjustly suffer as these many unknowns have... you poor poor unprepared pansy assed little rich kids... you will never have seen this coming. Gosh I almost feel a little sympathy for you having to go through an equal amount of pain that your &

Civil forfeiture in the United State Civil forfeiture in the United States , also called  civil asset forfeiture  or  civil judicial forfeiture , [1]  is a process in which  law enforcement officers  take  assets  from persons suspected of involvement with crime or illegal activity without necessarily charging the owners with wrongdoing. While  civil procedure , as opposed to  criminal procedure , generally involves a dispute between two private citizens, civil forfeiture involves a dispute between  law enforcement  and  property  such as a pile of cash or a house or a boat, such that the thing is suspected of being involved in a crime. To get back the seized property, owners must prove it was not involved in criminal activity. Sometimes it can mean a threat to seize property as well as the act of seizure itself. [2]  Civil forfeiture is not considered to be an example of a  criminal justice financial obligation . Proponents see civil forfeiture as a powerful tool to thwart criminal or

So Are some people born to achieve anything and everything literally all they want while others struggle for meager crumbs? Call them lucky, cursed, blessed, or possessors or possessed of the Midas touch. The touch that imbalances their lives and brings me foward to consume them. Even that midas touch in reverse, which shall preserve them from my mouth.  All you tube money gurus... all so called perfomance couche potatos... all self appointed expert you tube commenters... What is the real reason for their success failure and mediocrity or infamy? Is it family background, wealth, greater opportunities, high morals, an easy childhood? Big penis? Extra testicles? What is the answer? I bet there are so many answers. I bet you could spin endless answers to any one question with ever more tempting clickbait titles appearing. New York Times  best-selling author John C. Maxwell has the answer: The difference between average people and achieving people is their perception of and response to fai

Log in LECTURE |  VOLUME 394, ISSUE 10214 ,  P2119-2124,  DECEMBER 07, 2019 Corruption in global health: the open secret Patricia J García, MD    Published: November 27, 2019 DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(19)32527-9 PlumX Metrics Summary Corruption is embedded in health systems. Throughout my life—as a researcher, public health worker, and a Minister of Health—I have been able to see entrenched dishonesty and fraud. But despite being one of the most important barriers to implementing universal health coverage around the world, corruption is rarely openly discussed. In this Lecture, I outline the magnitude of the problem of corruption, how it started, and what is happening now. I also outline people's fears around the topic, what is needed to address corruption, and the responsibilities of the academic and research communities in all countries, irrespective of their level of economic development. Policy makers, researchers, and funders need to think about corruption as an
