► EDUCATION : BBC- 1941, Stalin and the Man of Steel. Marking the 70th anniversary of the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, historian Professor David Reynolds re-assesses Stalin's role in the life and death struggle between Germany and Russia in World War Two, which, he argues, was ultimately more critical for British survival than 'Our Finest Hour' in the Battle of Britain itself.
The name Stalin means 'man of steel', but Reynolds's penetrating new account reveals how the reality of Stalin's war in 1941 did not live up to that name. Travelling to Russian battlefield locations, he charts how Russia was almost annihilated within a few months as Stalin lurched from crisis to crisis, coming close to a nervous breakdown.
Reynolds shows how Stalin learnt to compromise in order to win, listening to his generals and downplaying communist ideology to appeal instead to the Russian people's nationalist fighting spirit. He also squares up to the terrible moral dilemma at the heart of World War Two. Using original telegrams and official documents, he looks afresh at Winston Churchill's controversial visit to Moscow in 1942 and re-examines how Britain and America were drawn into alliance with Stalin, a dictator almost as murderous as the Nazi enemy.

► NEWS & POLITIC : Mother dies After seeing her 3 daughters get married SNELLVILLE, Ga. -Three sisters from Snellville shared a very special memory with their mother when they got married in an emotional triple wedding ceremony on Sunday afternoon. Becky Swales wanted to live to see her daughters walk down the aisle. That wish came true, but she lost her battle to breast cancer early Monday morning.
Jodie, Sarah and Kaylie Swales said their vows to their fiances with their mom sitting in the front row. The sisters, who were all engaged, planned their triple wedding after learning she only had a few months to live. They were originally scheduled to wed on October 26.
But last week, doctors delivered the heartbreaking news that Becky's battle might be over in just a couple of weeks, so the girls decided to change their plans. They moved their ceremony up to Sunday afternoon-- ensuring that their mom would be there to see it.
"It's kind of bittersweet," Jodie Swales told FOX 5's Krista Littlefield before Sunday's ceremony. "We are happy that she's here, but this will probably be the last big thing that we do with her."
"It's awesome having her here, but it's hard having her suffer while she's here," said daughter Kaylie. The girls' dad, Otis Swales, walked all three brides down the aisle. He says he relies on his faith. "It's hard, but I'm proud of my daughters," he said. "I just pray God gives me strength to get through every day."
Becky Swales passed away Monday morning, the family said. Mother dies After seeing her 3 daughters get married. Published on Oct 15, 2013 by DailyNews

I do not eat meat, sorry. I'm also not happy to see them slaughtered. Not only because of the possibility of tapeworms in their flesh, but because of what should be cut is not just the meat of sacrificial animals, but the evil things within the human self, for example, fond of corrupt, greedy, do not care about poverty, anti-charity, abusive, belligerent, and similar matters.
I do not judge when mentioning one by one our iniquities, because I know I'm not perfect and have a chance to do the same ugliness. Realizing my shortcomings, that's why I'm always aware and introspective.
Uh, by the way, why the human face looks more ferocious than the cow's face when the man cut the cow?
