The English LongBow




The English longbow, also called the Welsh longbow, is a powerful type of medieval longbow (a tall bow for archery) about 6 ft (1.8 m) long used by the English and Welsh for hunting and as aweapon in medieval warfare. English use of longbows was effective against the French during theHundred Years' War, particularly at the start of the war in the battles of Sluys (1340), Crécy (1346), and Poitiers (1356), and perhaps most famously at the Battle of Agincourt (1415). They were less successful after this, with longbowmen having their lines broken at the Battle of Verneuil (1424), and being completely routed at the Battle of Patay (1429) when they were charged before they had set up their defensive position.
The earliest longbow known from England, found at Ashcott HeathSomerset, is dated to 2665 BC,[1] but no longbows survive from the period when the longbow was dominant...

Hillary Clinton Would Create Federal Immigration Agency To Help Illegals

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton would create a new federal agency to streamline government immigration services as president, she’s scheduled to announce Wednesday.

The former secretary of state would create a new agency called the Office of Immigrant Affairs to coordinate federal immigration policy and services, reported The Wall Street Journal. She’ll make the announcement in conjunction with a scheduled endorsement from the New York State Immigrant Action Fund, an advocacy group for immigrants.

The new agency would help illegal immigrants, a Clinton aide told The WSJ, and coordinate programs and policies at the local, state and federal level to help “integrate” immigrants and refugees into...

Canadian PM Justin Trudeau Makes A Fool Out Of Himself Dressing Up Like A Sikh And Making Groveling “Apology” For “Canadian Racist” Incident That Happened Over 102 Years Ago

Just when I though PM Trudeau could not make me more disgusted with him then I already am, he goes and does this.

This incident he is referring to was called the Komagata Maru incident, and liberals have been using it to “justify” mass illegal immigration to Canada and their claims of “racism” in Canada. Not only that, but PM Trudeau is going to give a full apology in the house of commons this May 18th, 2016 for this incident.

Three hundred people were turned away over a hundred years ago. Now we let millions in without checking them out at all.

Liberalism is a mental disorder. The scariest part is that these same liberals are in charge of our nations and are threatening them with cultural, national, and ethnic genocide in their suicidal quest to realize their impossible, irrational, and...

What do British Muslims Really Think? Now we know. And it's terrifying...

I sat down to watch 'What British Muslims Really think' with my best multicultural head on. 

I cleared my mind of all preconceptions; grubby Rochdale cabbies passing white girls round for sex like a fried chicken bargain bucket, Imams beating kids into devotion, and the truly indoctrinated, blowing up Brussels to get 72 virgins in paradise. 

Putting my feet up on the recycling bin, channelling my inner Polly Toynbee, I waited to sit corrected - prepared to accept the most dangerous Muslim in Britain is Bake Off's Nadiya Hussain armed with a Victoria Sponge. 

But, much as it pains me to say it, I have been right all along. British Muslims are not part of some rich tapestry of urban life. It's a myth, dreamed up by the BBC, and perpetuated by the Islington elite. 

It is them and us. And THEY have no wish to be anything like US. 

The reason Muslims enjoy our country is because it is tolerant. Not the bits where we are tolerant of each other, you understand. Not the fact we respect your right to be Jewish or utterly ungodly. Or our warm embrace of those who identify as straight, gay, lesbian or as gender-fluid as a snail. 

No. They enjoy our country because we are tolerant of their right to be as as prejudiced against...

Number of Germany asylum seekers doubles

THE number of asylum seekers in Germany more than doubled in the first three months of this year compared with the same period in 2015, it was revealed today.

Germany registered around 181,000 claimants between January and March to add to nearly half a million people who arrived in the final quarter of last year.

Critics say asylum application figures do not reflect the full scale of the influx into Germany.

It is believed many are either working on the black market or have turned to crime. Of those who have applied for asylum this year, almost half were ­Syrians.

More than six in 10 applications were approved, the Interior ­Ministry said today. The number of applications was 60,000 in March, up 87 per cent on March 2015.

Iraqis and Afghans were the second and third largest groups in the first quarter. Officials are still trying to process last year’s huge backlog of arrivals.

Most of the record 1.1 million migrants who arrived in Germany last year are in shelters where they must wait for weeks or months before they can apply for permission to stay.

An overstretched Federal Office for Migration and Refugees made decisions on 150,233 asylum applications in the first quarter, an almost 159 per cent increase on the year before.

The asylum approval rate was 61.6 per cent, up from about 42 per cent before the refugee crisis, the ministry said, as numbers of Syrians fleeing the...

LA unions call for exemption from $15 minimum wage they fought for

Los Angeles city council will hear a proposal on Tuesday to exempt union members from a $15 an hour minimum wage that the unions themselves have spent years fighting for.

The proposal for the exemption was first introduced last year, after the Los Angeles city council passed a bill that would see the city’s minimum wage increase to $15 by 2020. After drawing criticism last year, the proposed amendment was put on hold but is now up for consideration once again.

Union leaders argue the amendment would give businesses and unions the freedom to negotiate better agreements, which might include lower wages but could make up the difference in other benefits such as healthcare. They argue that such exemptions might make businesses more open to unionization.

Because the California governor, Jerry Brown, signed a law raising the state minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2022, workers who are part of the union would see their wages increase eventually – potentially two years later than those who are not part of union.

The amendment was originally proposed by ...

Sonar May Have Turned Up a Long-Lost Confederate Civil War Ship, the Agnes E. Fry

WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA, was the Confederacy’s last port. During the Civil War, blockade runners that evaded the Union navy were one of the Confederate army’s few lifelines. But maneuvering a small, fast ship in the dead of night was hard as it sounds, and many of them didn’t make it. Archaeologists now think they’ve found the shipwreck of one of those long lost blockade runners off Wilmington: the Agnes E. Fry.

At least they’re “99 percent sure” it’s the Agnes E. Fry, says archaeologist Billy Ray Morris—this being an extremely old boat under extremely dark waters. The last one percent of uncertainty will be worked out next week, when divers descend to the shipwreck with a sonar machine to map the shipwreck in glorious 3D detail.

The search for Agnes E. Fry is part of a larger effort to map the underwater artifacts of Civil War battles. When Morris, deputy state archaeologist for North Carolina, and Gordon Watts, director of the Institute for International Maritime Research, recently resurveyed the waters around North Carolina, they found previously mapped shipwrecks were more exposed than ever—likely due to dredging in the river that feeds into the Atlantic near Wilmington. Three blockade runners had wrecked off the coast near Oak Island but never been found. What if they too were newly uncovered?

So the archaeologists ran their survey boat around Oak Island. The boat carried a magnetometer—think a metal detector that can detect distortions in the Earth’s magnetic field caused by a ship’s iron hull. And then it had a...
