1. Helmut Voigt was a professional
He was on the run with several false passports
living under a false identity in the port city of Volos
He was caught when his wife Carla visited in 1992 with a tracking device hidden in her luggage
He was arrested at the hotel Balasca in Athens

 2. The Hotel Balasca, just a few minutes walk across the park from Larissa Sation, then hop on the train back to Volos with dear Carla
3. Volos
A pleasant enough place to hide away from the past
...and the future
https://t.co/j6hdcM0KRa
4. The Red Star
5. “He is,” says a former Stasi major appreciatively, “the perfect secret service man. An absolute professional. ”
6. But even a shrewd secret service man can make mistakes. He wants his wife to visit him. He feels alone.
According to the investigation, Helmut Voigt was just entering himself into the guest book of the hotel "Balasca" with the false name Alfred Hermann.
7. The double room No. 510 is simply furnished, costs the equivalent of 45 marks per night. Late in the evening, the porter recalls, “Hermann” leaves the hotel again. An hour later he returns with a woman by his side. It's Carla.
8. He tells Carla they will catch the train to Volos in the morning.
The trip is very scenic, she will like Volos.
Carla and Helmut eat well, they are happy.
Oh yes, they could take the night train, but what's the rush?They are safe at the Hotel Balasca
https://t.co/ZfNypbhgEb
9. The investigators apparently show sympathy for a long-separated couple. It wasn't until about seven hours later that two BKA officials, supported by ten Athens police officers , knock on the door of room 510. They say: "Mr. Voigt, please don't cause any trouble."
10. Then they lead him away.
Voigt is composed, goes bolt upright, as the hotel employee Maria remembers. Voigt stops shortly before the exit. “Gentlemen,” he says to the BKA officials, “I still have to pay.”
“Correct,” say former MfS officers, “Helmut has always been correct. ”
11. Helmut missed his train
https://t.co/TXaKaHU3Mh
12. Even a shrewd secret service man can make mistakes
He is calm, inconspicuous, hides his face behind a full beard. He introduces himself to his neighbours in Volos as a teacher
Then, Loneliness, Wife, Tracking Device & Airport Pick Up. He made some errors
It cost him 4 years
13. Instead, Korydallos State Prison
Korydallos is anger and despair, caged hatred.
Every schoolchild in Athens knows that crime is in Korydallos. At night they roar in the narrow, stuffy cells, sometimes they are cries for help.
Neighbors whisper behind the high walls,
14. Chaos reigns. 2400 prisoners in a musty building, totally overcrowded and hot like a sauna in spring.
Pure aggression: everyone is at everyone's throat.

15. The jail has its hierarchy
Helmut Voigt, 50, the bearded German from the high-security wing, is right at the top.
He's not a thug, not a killer guy, not a bank robber. Helmut Voigt, it is said almost reverently in Korydallos, is a terrorist boss.
He is a popular guy there

19. the former head of Stasi main department XXII / 8, Helmut Voigt, was sentenced to 4 years in prison for aiding & abetting murder. In 1983 he delivered the explosives to a Lebanese man for an attack on the “Maison de France” cultural center in Berlin,

"only one nation, the nation of the oppressed" according to Carlos the Jackal
https://t.co/eRbjhLiJOd
21, Since 1980 Voigt was responsible for the observation of "left-wing & international terrorism" in the MfS main department XXII. In this context he is said to have supported members of the organization of international revolutionaries around "Carlos"
https://t.co/NfludXFx1y
22. In 1994, Helmut Voigt was sentenced to 4-years imprisonment for his involvement in the bombing of the French Cultural Center. The verdict was the first time that a former Stasi agent was found guilty of committing a crime as part of his official duties.
23. The plastic explosives stayed under the control of Voigt, the Stasi contact man for the Carlos Group. After months of further discussion between Voigt and Weinrich, the explosives were released to Weinrich on August 16, 1983.
24. He in turn gave them to Nabil Shritah, the Third Secretary of the Syrian Embassy for safekeeping.
A week later, Weinrich went to the Embassy and retrieved the explosives.

25. The former Stasi officer Helmut Voigt had such a passport with him when he was arrested on September 6th last year in the Balasca Hotel in Athens.
Voigt had registered as:
"Alfred Hermann, born May 14, 1948 in Halle"

In 1995, after traveling from Greece to Italy on the ferryboat “Lato”, Italian authorities refused Breguet entry. Since then, Bruno Breguet has not been seen in public again.

Mr. Patrick, one of the chief scientists at the Army Biological Warfare Laboratories at Fort Detrick in Frederick, Md., held five classified US patents for the process of weaponizing anthrax.

2/x
Under Mr. Patrick’s direction, scientists at Fort Detrick developed a tularemia agent that, if disseminated by airplane, could cause casualties & sickness over 1000s mi². In a 10,000 mi² range, it had 90% casualty rate & 50% fatality rate


3/x His team explored Q fever, plague, & Venezuelan equine encephalitis, testing more than 20 anthrax strains to discern most lethal variety. Fort Detrick scientists used aerosol spray systems inside fountain pens, walking sticks, light bulbs, & even in 1953 Mercury exhaust pipes


4/x After retiring in 1986, Mr. Patrick remained one of the world’s foremost specialists on biological warfare & was a consultant to the CIA, FBI, & US military. He debriefed Soviet defector Ken Alibek, the deputy chief of the Soviet biowarfare program

5/x Back in Time
In 1949 the Army created a small team of chemists at "Camp Detrick" called Special Operations Division. Its assignment was to find military uses for toxic bacteria. The coercive use of toxins was a new field, which fascinated Allen Dulles, later head of the CIA

Again sharing bank nifty intraday weekly straddle. How to play by selling straddle.
Mostly will work on Monday to Wednesday. Sometimes on Friday.
Why to pay your money to learn this if u can get it here.
U need only practice.
Let’s go.

Say bank nifty future is at 32000.
Sell both 32000 call and put.
Considering current volatile market lest say premium on Monday morning is 350 on both sides.
Sold with 700 points combine premium.
If bank nifty will trade in narrow range say +\- 100 hold it.
If moving 200 points

then exit previous sold straddle. Sell new one. Let’s say BN moved +200
Now sell 32200. If bank nifty will move here within range then u will get profit through theta decay. Follow same procedure for next 150-200 pts move.

This is only for single straddle sell position.

Now in second case sell three straddle. 31900/32000/32100
In case of 100 points move no need to change.
If 200 + then future is 32200.
Exit 31900 and sell 31200 straddle.
If moving another 100 then exit 32000 and sell 32300. Continue same with 100 points move.
If no move then

it will consolidate between 32000-32200 or 32100 to 32300 and u will get theta decay.

This is for normal move. Sudden big move may come anytime. So keep SL in system.
If u r selling at 350-350 then keep SL in system 475 for both legs.
Practice it. No need to attend webinar.

Here is the detailed information of about strategy,

Entry time : 9.30 - 10
Exit : Upto you

Strategy :
Sell weekly ATM CE & PE at almost equal price
For ex : Sell Nifty 17250 CE at 50 and Nifty 17250 PE at 48 so it will become short straddle

Buy monthly ATM or near ATM CE & PE at matching price (5-10 points diff should be fine) as hedge
For ex : Buy Nifty 17250 CE at 150 and Nifty 17300 PE at 155 so it will become long straddle.

Weekly Short straddle + Monthly Long straddle

Adjustment:

• If you feel slightly bullish/bearish then no adjustment needed
• If Nifty moves 50 up or down and sustain then just simply roll up or down half of qnty and keep rest of the quantity. If market goes up or down further then roll up or down rest.

• If Nifty moves one side or about to breach BEP then add equal amount of lot. This can balance tested side. For ex: If I bought 17300 CE 4 lot as hedge then add 4 lot so you will have only one side risk . Note: Remember to keep SL at cost price (only for additional lot bought)

Capital requirement:
2.2 L for 4 lot
Adjustment requires additional capital upto 1L

Note : High risk high reward strategy, please don’t execute until you fully understand. Kindly do paper trading or backtest.
RR : 1:1
POP : 45-55%

SRI MOOKAMBIKA DEVI, KOLLUR (KAR)

There was an Asura, Kaumasura, who was doing penance to please Shiva and get a boon. To prevent him from asking for a boon, Devi Saraswati made him dumb (hence called Mookasur)
Later, Adi Parashakti slayed him and came to be called Mookambika.


It is said that Adi Shankaracharya had a vision in which Devi agreed to follow him provided he did not look back. He kept walking and was assured of her presence due to the sound of anklets. When he reached here in Kollur, he turned back as the sound of anklets had stopped.


So Devi stayed here and merged with the lingam. The place came to be called Mookambika Kshetram.
The linga has integrated on it’s left side MahaKali, Maha Lakshmi and Maha Saraswathi and on the right side- Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.


A swarna rekha (gold line) divides this linga into left and right portion. Adi Shakthi in this Udhbhavlinga form appears only here.
Devi sits in padmasana and has 4 hands.
Adi Shankaracharya installed the Sri Chakra in front of Devi and also composed the Soundarya Lahiri here.

I've used Microsoft Excel for 20 years and these 10 shortcuts will make you an Excel Guru in 5 minutes & maximize your productivity 100x:

🧵 Don't use Excel without knowing these 10 shortcuts:

(1) Repeat the Last Action: Ctrl + Y

You have just applied a formatting style to a cell, use Ctrl + Y to quickly apply the same formatting to another cell.


(2) Display Formulas in cells: Ctrl + ~

If you have a cell that contains a formula, you can use Ctrl + ~ to switch between the formula view and the value view of the cell. This allows you to see the underlying formula used to calculate the cell value.


(3) AutoSum: Alt + =

The AutoSum shortcut is useful for quickly calculating the sum of a range of cells without having to manually type in the formula


(4) Insert current date: Ctrl + ; (date)

When tracking the progress of a project, add the date each time a task is completed. Use Ctrl + ; to quickly insert the current date.

It is 2018 and this error message is a mistake from 1974.
This limitation, which is still found in the very latest Windows 10, dates back to BEFORE STAR WARS. This bug is as old as Watergate.


When this was developed, nothing had UPC codes yet because they'd just been invented.
Back when this mistake was made, There was only one Phone Company, because they hadn't been broken up yet. Ted Bundy was still on the loose. Babe Ruth's home run record was about to fall.

When this bug was developed, Wheel of Fortune hadn't yet aired. No one had seen Rocky Horror. Steven Spielberg was still a little-known directory of TV films and one box-office disappointment. SNL hadn't aired yet. The Edmund Fitzgerald was still hauling iron ore.

WHEN THIS STUPID MISFEATURE WAS INVENTED, THE GODFATHER PART II HAD JUST OPENED IN THEATERS.

So, why does this happen? So Unix (which was only 5 years old at this point) had the good idea of "everything is a file" which mean you could do things like write to sockets, pipes, the console, etc with the same commands and instructions.

one of the things i like about Batman is that it's fundamentally about being orphaned, and being an orphan — how this guy stays tethered to the world in his own weird, abstract, extrajudicial way when he feels that his link to it has been violently severed

Batman does this by permanently recapitulating his own trauma: solving crimes for other people, protecting them. But that's actually just the beginning; he also recapitulates his own experience of orphanness by essentially raising several orphans

Dick is an orphan in the traditional sense: dead parents. Batman sees it happen. Jason, less so: missing dad, known mom who eventually dies. Tim, even less so: parents are around a while, and involved, before both dying. Carrie, even less than that: negligent parents.

Steph: evil father, who openly works against her. And then there's Damian, whose parents are both alive and yet both have identities that totally obliterate their role as his parents. He doesn't relate to them as a mother and father; he can't, and neither can they.

In all these different cases, Batman tries all these different ways of making orphanness for them not what it was for him: Either by trying to teach them the (arguably poor) coping skills early that he learned over a very long time, or by literally legally adopting them, etc.

We should stop confusing what someone was doing when we became aware of them with all they are capable of, interested in, or ever hope to be

Let folks have their many talents, interests and gifts. Life is far more fun with variety, loves.

A lot of folks have come to know me as an activist & I’m grateful that folks care to know me at all.

But I wasn’t born in 2014. I was a whole teacher, executive, policy person, speaker, arts and culture lover, reader, writer, woman of faith, fashion and more before 4 yrs ago 🤷🏾‍♀️

We rightfully complain that marginalized people are not allowed to be fully human.

But we internalize and transfer our oppression daily. It’s a smog. We all breathe it in & act it out.

And then tell WoC “girl ain’t you supposed to be a _______? Why you doing ____?”

Can I live?

And don’t go reading anything personal into this-this isn’t about me necessarily and it’s no subtweet (I try hard not to do that.)

I’ve just been observing that behavior more and more lately. Especially when it comes to marginalized folks.

Evolution should be our aspiration.

“Can’t knock the hustle” should be our anthem.

As long as someone isn’t bringing active and continual harm, why can’t they explore their many sides?

AHOBILAM NARASIMHA SWAMY KSHETRAM: KURNOOL (AP)
#andhratemples

Ahobilam is the place where Prabhu appears in his fierce form, called Ugra Narasimha, who is Svayambhu (self-manifest).
Ahobilam is one of the 108 Divya Desams. It has 9 shrines for different forms of Narsimha.


Ahobilam was the exact place where Sri Narasimha appeared and tore apart Hiranyakashipu to save Prahlad. At that moment, all the Devas appeared and praised him as Ahobala (Aho is mighty and bala is strength). So the place came to be called Ahobilam.


Out of the 9 shrines, most famous is the Ahobila Narasimha Swamy where Prabhu is seen as Ugra Narasimha.
In another shrine, Prabhu appears as Malola Narasimha Swamy. Malola means beloved of Lakshmi. Here Prabhu is in peaceful mudra with his consort Ma ChenchuLakshmi.


Jwala Narasimha Swamy shrine is the actual spot where the fierce anger of Prabhu reached its culmination when he tore Hiranyakasipu.

Ugra Stambham is the pillar from which Narasimha appeared with such force that the entire hill split into two.

1) OBSERVATION: The frequencies are changing. I would have to assess stats on the electromagnetic field to see its fluctuations. All I know is, I am highly sensitive to energy/frequencies, and they are changing, because…

2) 2 Weeks ago, my dog was effected by it as well. He is hearing things that aren’t technically audible. I can tell by his body language and sounds. One week ago I began feeling a pressure in my head and ears. It wasn’t painful at all, but it was intense for a bit.

3) It reminded me of taking off in an airplane a bit. I felt like I was in a vacuum. It went on and off for a couple of days. I’ve picked up on frequencies and high pitched sounds (not audible to most) for 30 years, and today my right ear began to ring for longer than usual.

4) This is nothing unusual for me, with exception of the duration. This happens often with me. No, it’s not tinnitus. Only this time, when I spoke, there was reverb creating a high pitch in my ear from my voice. This lasted for about 30 minutes. It did not hurt, just annoying.

5) So yes, the frequencies are changing. What this means exactly, I am unsure of at the moment. Some will say electromagnetic fields, others will say ascension, and some will say pole shift. I honestly can’t say at this very moment.
