QuoteSupplying archaeological and oceanographic evidence to support this assertion, the book dismantles the old paradigm while persuasively linking Clovis technology with the culture of the Solutrean people who occupied France and Spain more than 20,000 years ago.

QuoteA remarkable series of several dozen European-style stone tools, dating back between 19,000 and 26,000 years, have been discovered at six locations along the US east coast. Three of the sites are on the Delmarva Peninsular in Maryland, discovered by archaeologist Dr Darrin Lowery of the University of Delaware. One is in Pennsylvania and another in Virginia. A sixth was discovered by scallop-dredging fishermen on the seabed 60 miles from the Virginian coast on what, in prehistoric times, would have been dry land.

The new discoveries are among the most important archaeological breakthroughs for several decades - and are set to add substantially to our understanding of humanity's spread around the globe.

The similarity between other later east coast US and European Stone Age stone tool technologies has been noted before. But all the US European-style tools, unearthed before the discovery or dating of the recently found or dated US east coast sites, were from around 15,000 years ago - long after Stone Age Europeans (the Solutrean cultures of France and Iberia) had ceased making such artefacts. Most archaeologists had therefore rejected any possibility of a connection. But the newly-discovered and recently-dated early Maryland and other US east coast Stone Age tools are from between 26,000 and 19,000 years ago - and are therefore contemporary with the virtually identical western European material.

QuotePulling on a ski mask, she disguised her voice and tied her son and daughter with rope. She shot her husband twice, then slit his throat and stabbed him in the heart with his own hunting knife.

Police had a theory within hours of the murder. They heard whispers that Cheryl Trover was involved with Principal John Riley.

Police believe Cheryl Trover feared a divorce would cost her custody of Torrey, 13, and Jackson, 11. John Trover had gained custody of his daughter Brooklin, 18, when he divorced his first wife.

Quote"Baby girl, even though you've been married for fifteen years, you still don't understand men. You've emasculated him with your affair; his ego is in tatters because of you. He doesn't know what he did wrong and feels less of a man because he couldn't satisfy his wife, and she sought it somewhere else. It may take years for him to recover, if at all. If I know Mike, he would rather sleep in a shoe box than reconcile with you and be considered a cuckold by society."

QuoteThe downside of my transformation was that I increasingly saw humans--especially those belonging to the homo sapiens corporativus human subspecies--for what they really were: unaware participants in this sick game called life. Gamers have a name for people like us: NPCs, non-playing characters. To make matters worse, I was convinced my work as a management consultant was useless. I existed to help the increasingly entrenched corporate bureaucracy justify its own existence.

QuoteIf the poets speak truly, why then we had better be unjust, and offer of the fruits of injustice; for if we are just, although we may escape the vengeance of heaven, we shall lose the gains of injustice; but, if we are unjust, we shall keep the gains, and by our sinning and praying, and praying and sinning, the gods will be propitiated, and we shall not be punished. 'But there is a world below in which either we or our posterity will suffer for our unjust deeds.'

QuoteYet it's normal for one's sexual desire to wane after one or two years of dating, said Andrea Seiferth, a psychologist who works as a couple's therapist in Hamburg.

A cocktail of hormones plays a big role in this , said Seiferth. They increase our sex drive at the start of a relationship but as relationships progress, a hormone called oxytocin, which fosters social bonding, becomes more pronounced.

"These bonding hormones dampen our sex drive hormones, decreasing our desire for and frequency of sex," explained Seiferth. "This is something you need to be aware of as a couple."
