Excerpt:
The first Europeans to arrive in the New World brought St. Nicholas. Vikings dedicated their cathedral to him in Greenland. On his first voyage, Columbus named a Haitian port for St. Nicholas on
December 6, 1492. In Florida, Spaniards named an early settlement St. Nicholas Ferry, now known as Jacksonville. However, St. Nicholas had a difficult time during the 16th century Protestant Reformation which took a dim view of saints. Even though both reformers and counter-reformers tried to stamp out St. Nicholas-related customs, they had very little long-term success except in England where the religious folk traditions were permanently altered. (It is ironic that fervent Puritan Christians began what turned into a trend to a more secular Christmas observance.) Because the common people so loved St. Nicholas, he survived on the European continent as people continued to place nuts, apples, and sweets in shoes left beside beds, on windowsills, or before the hearth.

Why celebrate
St. Nicholas?

Excerpt:
In early times one group of islands was in the possession of a confederacy of hermits. King Henry I gave it to Tavistock Abbey which established a priory on Tresco; it was abolished at the Reformation. The priory was given the care of souls in the secular islands by the lord of the fief.^[1] In 1233, a prior here, known as Alan of Cornwall, was made abbot of Tavistock.^[2]
The island is named as Trescaw in an 1814 publication,^[3] and was described as 'St. Nicholas' when confirmed as a grant to the abbot of Tavistock by pope Celestin in 1193.

Who Really Runs "GLP" Godlikeproductions.com?

I am not claiming anything here as a fact. I have frequented the site and do find it a strange place. Everybody knows about the autoban for using the words "Jason Lucas" "Tavistock" "Lop" etc. Google them if you are unfamiliar. The rumor is that Jason Lucas a spam/mal ware programmer who owned LOP, bought godlikeproductions which is a popular "conspiracy" bulletin board to spy on people. The person known as "^Trinity^" on GLP owns the site but nobody seems to know the man personally but for a few mods. GLP has lots of traffic but from my posting there, it is quite different than other popular sites. Hard to describe but something is not right on GLP and the traffic and posters often seem programmed and not authentic. "Controlling the conversation"? That's the way it feels. Like a big simulation.

Excerpts:
1)  Reebok International Limited, is a subsidiary of the German sportswear company Adidas, is a producer of Athletic shoes, apparel, and accessories. The name comes from the Afrikaans spelling of rhebok, a type of African antelope or gazelle.

2)
In the past, Reebok had an association with outsourcing through sweatshops, but today it claims it is committed to human rights. In April 2004, Reebok's footwear division became the first company to be accredited by the Fair Labor Association. In 2004, Reebok also became a founding member of the Fair Factories Clearinghouse, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving worker conditions across the apparel industry.
Supplier information, according to the Reebok website as of May 2007:
"Footwear Reebok uses footwear factories in 14 countries. Most factories making Reebok footwear are based in Asia — primarily China (accounting for 51% of total footwear production), Indonesia (21%), Vietnam (17%) and Thailand (7%). Production is consolidated, with 88% of Reebok footwear manufactured in 11 factories, employing over 75,000 workers.
"Apparel Reebok has factories in 45 countries. The process of purchasing products from suppliers is organized by region. Most (52%) of Reebok's apparel sold in the United States is produced in Asia, with the rest coming from countries in the Caribbean, North America, Africa and the Middle East. Apparel sold in Europe is typically sourced from Asia and Europe. Apparel sold in the Asia Pacific region is typically

Excerpt:
 What may be surprising to know, however, is that this is not the testimony of a factory worker in Southeast Asia or Latin America, but the words of Lina Rodriguez Meza, an Ecuadoran immigrant who works at the Jaclyn Smith apparel factory in New York City. Indeed, the resurgence of the sweatshop in the past two decades has touched every corner of the world, from the least developed economies to the giants of modernization. The globalization of the economy has spawned the globalization of the sweatshop, and though the locations of the factories and the ethnicities of their workers have changed, in many cases the conditions have not.

Excerpt:
Founder Alan Parker (son of former British Rail chairman Sir Peter Parker) owns 88% of Brunswick's Channel Islands holding company, Wynnstay, giving him control of the agency and a stake in the company worth an estimated £114m. [1] Parker's personal assets are thought to be around £6m.
In 2001, Parker recruited Bill Clinton's former aide, James Rubin, to Brunswick's political affairs unit. Rubin reportedly left in April 2004, according to the Observer:

Former state department spokesman James Rubin... was hired in a blaze of publicity by top financial PR firm Bruns-wick some time ago. That gave founder Alan Parker the right to brag that he had bagged one half of the world's most glamourous media couples (Rubin is married to London-based CNN correspondent Christiane Amanpour).

Now rumour has it that Rubin has quietly quit, although not many people at Brunswick's Holborn HQ will have noticed. 'He was in the office about as often as Johnny Vegas is in the gym,' says a Brunswick insider. ( Media diary, 'Parker feels the rub as star signing quits', Observer Business Pages, Pg. 7, April 25, 2004 [2])

Later the firm's arts events subsidiary was joined by the former partner of Hobsbawm Macaulay Communications and wife of Gordon Brown, Sarah Macaulay. Sarah Macaulay is ‘the fashionably reserved co-founder of Hobsbawm Macaulay Communications’. She marketed Emily's List, the campaign to increase the number of women MPs.
Brunswick employs over 320 staff, including 40 partners. They advise on media and investor relations, mergers and acquisitions, competition and regulatory issues, crisis management, international communications and corporate campaigns.

Excerpt:

Brown's spin doctor, Charlie Whelan, befriended her after they met through mutual friends in the union movement; Macaulay also quickly forged a friendship with the other most important person in Brown's life, his political secretary, Sue Nye...

[In 2001] thrilled to be pregnant with their first child, she quit Hobsbawm Macaulay; the split was, by all accounts, acrimonious and effectively spelt the end of her friendship with her business partner.

The first thing to be said when confronted with comically sinister photos of Charlie Whelan in all the newspapers is that out-of-control trade unions are no longer the problem in modern Britain; out-of-control capitalists are the problem.
