Regalia of Modern Russia!

Russia: Putin’s 5th Term – US & UK Aggression Leads to Deployment of Tactical Nuclear Weapons! (8.5.2024)

In his address, Putin did not directly mention the special military operation in Ukraine. Some Western countries boycotted the inauguration ceremony in light of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The United States and the United Kingdom were among those that refused to send their diplomats to the event.

Russia’s relations with the US and its allies are at their lowest point since the Cuban missile crisis of 1962, when the world came to the brink of a nuclear war.

The West has provided Ukraine with artillery, tanks and long-range missiles, but NATO troops have not joined the conflict directly, something that both Putin and US President Joe Biden have warned could lead to World War III.

Noting the rise in nuclear tensions, Russia said on Monday it would practice the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons as part of its military exercise, following what it said were threats from the UK and the US.

PRC & Nauru

Nauru: First Xinhua Journalist Arrives to Welcome in New Era! (18.1.2024)

The first Chinese correspondent to enter the Pacific island nation after Nauru’s government announced that it had “severed diplomatic ties” with the Taiwan authorities and is willing to resume diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China.

Nauru’s government issued a statement on Monday, announcing that it recognizes the one-China principle, severed the so-called “diplomatic relations” with the Taiwan authorities, and is willing to resume diplomatic relations with China.

Xinhua News Agency hired a correspondent and set up a reporting office in Nauru on the same day.

Email: My Interaction with ‘Andrew North’ of the Northants Records Office! (19.11.2023)

Interestingly, when I have visited the Archives in person (in the past) – or have had my staff do so on my behalf – I have never encountered this level of unprofessional behaviour involving the deliberate manifestation of disrespect and obstructive behaviour from a Civil Servant. You may rest assured that an official complaint will be lodged regarding your conduct in this manner.

Genius of Alexis Godillot: A History of the French Attaché (and English “Brief”) Case – and Why Shoes Fit on the “Left” & “Right” Foot! (29.10.2023)

The original article (reproduced here and referenced below) states:

‘In 1826, Godillot had another bright idea – developing a lightweight case with a hinged iron frame and a carpet covering. He had conceived it as being ideal for hunting and fishing – since these activities required lots of equipment but were too rugged for traditional trunks.’

As Alexis Godillot was born in 1816 – it is unlikely that he would have invented the Attaché Case in 1826 aged just “10-years old”! In fact, evidence suggests that Alexis Godillot invented the Attaché Case around 1843 – when Godillot was aged around 27-years old. The problem with this history is that sources state that Godillot founded a luggage firm (with his son) in 1843 – but if this was the case – his son could not have been older than 9-10-years old! What follows is essentially an informative advertisement – which I do NOT endorse. It is merely a convenient (but flawed) vehicle that conveys the fascinating history of the French inventor – Alexis Godillot! ACW (29.10.2023)

Geneva Envoys from Asian, African Developing Countries Visit Xinjiang! (30.8.2022)

The envoys said that the Chinese government not only protects the lawful activities of various religious groups but has also explored an effective path focusing upon anti-terrorism and de-radicalization – a vital and effective path which could be a useful example for many other countries.

The envoys said they witnessed a diverse, modern and inclusive society during their four-day trip to Xinjiang, which is in sharp contrast to what the rumours of “forced labour” and “ethnic genocide” depicted.

The envoys added that they will share their experience in Xinjiang with others after returning to Geneva, refute rumours and lies about Xinjiang, and firmly support China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as its legitimate position.
