Essex was an American whaler from Nantucket, Massachusetts,
launched in 1799. While under the command of Captain George
Pollard, Jr., in 1820 a sperm whale attacked and sank her. The
sinking stranded the twenty-man crew in the southern Pacific
Ocean with little food and water. During the 95 days that the
survivors were at sea, they ate the bodies of five crewmen who
had died. When that was insufficient, members of the crew drew
lots to determine who they would sacrifice so that the others
could live. A total of seven crew members were cannibalized
before the eight survivors were rescued. First mate Owen Chase
and cabin boy Thomas Nickerson wrote accounts of their ordeal;
these accounts inspired Herman Melville to write his famous 1851
novel Moby-Dick.
The true story of the surviving sailors whose whaling ship was
destroyed by a sperm whale.

[center][font=times new roman]The Case of the Corrupt
Archbishop[/font][/center]
NOVEMBER 15, 2017 BY MEDIEVALISTS.NET
Corruption by powerful officials is not a new story. There are
many examples in history where one can find how men and women
were overcome by temptation of greed. This includes a 14th
century Archbishop of Dublin, who spent years orchestrating an
elaborate plot of embezzlement and forgery.
This story is told in the article, “The Case Against Alexander
Bicknor, Archbishop and Perculator,” by James W. Lydon, which is
part of a collection of essays entitled [font=times new
roman]Ireland and the English World in the Late Middle
Ages[/font].
Alexander Bicknor [img
width=20]
HTML http://www.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-311013201314.png[/img]<br
/> had come to Ireland in 1302, serving the English monarchs
Edward I and Edward II in various official duties, including as
deputy chancellor and justiciar. He was appointed by the Pope to
be the Archbishop of Dublin in 1317.
Eight years later, an investigation carried out by the Royal
Exchequer in London began turning up evidence that the
Archbishop had been for years skimming money from the English
king, which Bicknor was in charge of distributing to the rest of
Ireland.
For example, a writ was sent to Bicknor ordering him to pay the
earl of Ulster £2500, 15s. for wages in serving in the war in
Scotland, and Bicknor kept 500 marks for himself, while stating
that he had sent the full amount to the earl.
As the investigation proceeded, the English government found
that the Archbishop, along with the treasurer and other royal
officials in Ireland, were routinely embezzling royal funds and
then forging false records. A clerk named John of Manchester was
hired by Bicknor to commit the forgeries.
One of the illegal scams goes back to 1313, when they concocted
a letter patent from the prior of the Dominicans in Dublin
stating that he had received 35 marks in alms granted by the
King – in reality the Dominicans only got 5 marks.
The royal court was able to get several of the archbishop’s
underlings to confess to the forgeries and frauds, including
John of Manchester. Bicknor was summoned to London, and when
questioned, said they he did not wish to deny that he knew about
or consented to them.
The court ruled that the embezzlements over the years totalled
the sum of £1168. 6s. and ordered all those involved, including
the archbishop, to be confined to the Fleet Prison and have
their property seized. Besides property around Dublin, the crown
seized other lands in Gloucester, Shropshire and Staffordshire
belonging to Bicknor.
However, the imprisonment of Alexander Bicknor did not last
long. Within days, King Edward II sent an order releasing him,
“because of devotion to the holy church and reverence for the
episcopal dignity.”
HTML http://www.pic4ever.com/images/ugly004.gif<br
/>Lydon adds that Bicknor was an effective administrator and
increased royal revenues , which may have been reason enough for
Edward to be lenient with him.
The other accomplices spent months or years in prison before
they were able to pay large fines to obtain their release, and
some were even banned from serving a royal office again.
Although Bicknor was given a pardon, officials from the Royal
Exchequer spent the next twenty years continuing to investigate
and question the archbishop, in particular about revenues and
goods confiscated from the Templars.
One question left unanswered was why Bicknor spent years
defrauding the royal government. Lydon writes, “there is no
apparent reasons for his actions. It can be said with some
certainty that he did not need the money for personal use. He
certainly did not live a life of extravagance and did not
acquire wealth by the time of his death.”

Agelbert NOTE: This is one tension filled event. :o The actual
tape is played. A training instructor expert that happened to
be on board said, "We'll have a beer after this". The Captain
replied, "I don't drink but I'll sure as S H I T have one." :D
As a former air traffic controller, I also got a laugh about
when ATC at the airport cleared the flight to land "on ANY
runway". Even the Captian laughed! Pause the video as the
written info on the screen shows so you can grasp how
horrendously difficult the situation they were in was.
Controlling any aircraft heading with differential thrust is a a
royal bag of wiggly worms. Controlling the pitch attitude is
even more tricky, especially when you want to reduce your speed.
The airplane wants to porpoise on you (phugoid cycle). Every
porpoise sets you up for too high a descent on the bottom part
of the cycle to avoid a bad crash. So, You have to keep the
speed up and the porpoising down to less than a 700 feet per
minute descent rate until you are almost on the runway. Normal
landing speed is about 130 mph. This aircraft had to be at about
190 mph to remain stable with gear down and no flaps. The fact
that everybody wasn't killed is a testament to the skill and
professialism of the cockpit crew. [img width=40

Agelbert NOTE: "Free Trade"🐉 was an Oligarchy inspired
invention of the British Empire. This documentary proves that.
To this day, the forces of Oligarchy that favor Fascism have
been undermining democracy and freedom in the world in general,
and the USA in particular.
Franklin D. Roosevelt had made it rather clear who the crooks
and liars that wanted to keep running the USA into the ground
for oligarchy were. Today, the very same Fascist Wall Street
bunch is busy doing the very same Fascist damage. Just listen to
the short clip from the July 2, 1932 speech FDR made, in
accepting the 1932 Democratic Party Nomination for President, to
see how the exact same enemies of we-the-people were peddling
the exact same "trickle down economics" lies and doubletalk then
as they have disingenuously peddled from Reagan🦖 to the
present (1:13:39 mark in video below).
We now have our own version of Hitler 🦀 in the USA. He
🦀 is determined to get his own monday, February 27, 1932
