Healing Powers: Common in Western folklore, they're seen as gifted healers.

Prophecy/Second Sight: Often associated with foresight or psychic abilities, notes this Reddit post.

Darker Associations: In some Eastern European traditions, they could be cursed to become vampires or werewolves, say some Quora users.

"The Chosen One": Seen as destined for greatness or unique tasks, with powers for good or evil, notes Annaliese Morgan.

Doctor Who: Features characters with these traits, notes the Doctor Who Wiki.

Fantasy Literature: A popular archetype, for example, in George R.R. Martin's works, says Reddit users.

No. 3 Troop, perhaps better known as "X" Troop, was possibly the strangest unit in the British Army, since it consisted mostly of personnel who were technically enemy aliens – German and Austrian refugees, many of them Jews – under the command of Captain Bryan Hilton-Jones. The existence of No 3 (X) Troop was first publicly referred to in the 1971 edition of the Alpine Journal in its obituary of Bryan Hilton-Jones.[14] Its first members, in July 1942, were eight Sudeten Germans from Czechoslovakia.[15] Officially named No. 3 (British) Troop as a cover, the name "X Troop" was devised by Winston Churchill; "Because they will be unknown warriors… they must perforce be considered an unknown quantity. Since the algebraic symbol for unknown is X, let us call them X Troop".[16]

 

Most members of the troop were Jews of German, Austrian or Eastern European origin

X Troop

(formally No. 10 Inter-Allied Commando, 3 Troop) was a top-secret British commando unit during World War II composed almost entirely of German-speaking Jewish refugees. MI5 played a critical role in the unit’s formation by vetting and interviewing every potential member to ensure their loyalty and suitability for high-stakes intelligence work.

The Role of MI5 in X Troop

 

Vetting and Selection: MI5 conducted rigorous interviews with candidates, many of whom were recruited from the Pioneer Corps (a non-combat labor unit).

Security Briefings: Once selected, MI5 briefed the men on their highly sensitive duties, which combined advanced combat with counterintelligence operations.

Secret Identity Management: To protect the men and their families in Nazi-occupied Europe, MI5 and military authorities required them to adopt fake British personas. For security, a single MI5 secretary held the only master list connecting their original names to their new identities.

 

Key Characteristics of X Troop

 

Composition: The unit consisted of roughly 87 men, mostly Jewish refugees from Germany, Austria, and Hungary who had fled to Britain via the Kindertransport or other means.

Mission: They were trained to operate at the front lines, capturing and immediately interrogating German soldiers to provide real-time battlefield intelligence.

Strategic Deployment: Unlike other units, X Troop members were rarely deployed together; instead, they were attached in small groups (twos or threes) to other commando units to serve as specialists and leaders.

Post-War Impact: Many members were instrumental in the denazification of Germany and gathering evidence for the Nuremberg trials after the war.

 

 

Rescuing the Bank of England

 

As he rose to prominence, Nathan Mayer Rothschild cultivated a strong and close relationship with the Bank of England. During much of the early 1820s, Nathan was a buyer and borrower of both gold and silver from the Bank. In late 1825, the Rothschilds averted a financial crisis by supplying a large volume of gold to the Bank of England when the Bank ran desperately short of coined gold. Under Britain’s system of ‘cash payments’, bank notes could be fully and freely conver ted into gold at the Bank of England. This system had been restored in 1821, after a long absence. However, by 1825, Britain was running a trade deficit, leading to substantial outflows of gold from the country and a sharp monetary contraction. This, in turn, triggered a collapse in asset prices and the failure of a number of commercial banks. By mid-December, “an indescribable gloom was diffused through the City,” according to The Times. The Bank of England’s gold reserves were almost completely exhausted and the suspension of cash payments was imminent, threatening widespread financial turmoil. The rescue of the Bank was a remarkable achievement which owed everything to the international nature of the Rothschilds’ operations.

Diplomatic relations between the U.S. and the Vatican were broken off in 1865 because of the Vatican's support for the Confederacy and because the Pope sheltered John Surrett— the murderer of President Lincoln. The U.S. government decided to downplay the role of the Vatican in the rebellion lest there be a religious war in the country. The people were tired of fighting but they loved Lincoln so much that they would driven every Roman Catholic out of the country forever!!

 

In 1984, the Vatican sent a papal nuncio or Papal LEGATE to Washington and the U.S. sent an ambassador to Vatican City. The Italian government based in Rome already had an ambassador to this country. He is the ONLY legal representative of Rome and Italy to the United States. This didn't seem to bother Reagan because his first allegiance was to the Pope.

I assume the US had some sort of relations with the Holy See before January 10 1984. What was that like?

 

Prof. Darren Dochuk: Relations at the consular level were formal and substantive from the late 18th century to just after the Civil War. Early on, there was a formal relationship of the kind that would develop after 1984. And the curious part of the story, I think, happens between 1867 and 1984. And that's really where tensions arise. There will be continued relations between the US and the Vatican, but in a more slightly informal role where presidents appoint their own personal envoys to the Vatican, ultimately still serving kind of in the role of ambassador but without some of the political weight and burdens that come with a more formal relationship, in terms of a consulate and such.

 

So, what happens in 1984 really is a restoration of the type of official alliance with the Vatican that occurred earlier, but nevertheless represented a pretty important turning point in at least the 20th century relationship between the US and the Vatican.

 

What was it that changed after the Civil War?

 

Dochuk: I think it had to do with questions about the Vatican's involvement in the Civil War, support for unfriendly causes, at least as Northern Protestants saw it, including rumors of being involved in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, all of which stirred up an anti-Catholic sentiment that was always strong, particularly in an Anglo-Protestant Unionist cause.

 

And so that played out in Congress's diminishing trust in the Vatican and resulting in kind of an official separation of Washington from Vatican relations. And that really set off what would be a period of a rising anti-Catholic sentiment in the United States, and that really would be at the core of American suspicions of the Vatican, of Catholic power, and a reason why presidents throughout this period, from 1867 to 1984, would be wary of changing or making the relationship with the Vatican any more substantive and substantial.

 

Was there a law that prohibited formal relations, or what was it exactly?

 

Dochuk: Yes, I believe in 1867, there was legislation passed by Congress that did prohibit any future financial or political support of US diplomacy to the Holy See. With Ronald Reagan, one of his first steps in trying to reestablish a more formal relationship would be to rescind that law.

>X Troop

 

Legio X Fretensis ("Tenth legion of the Strait") was a legion of the Imperial Roman army. It was founded by the young Gaius Octavius (later to become Augustus Caesar) in 41/40 BC to fight during the period of civil war that started the dissolution of the Roman Republic. X Fretensis is then recorded to have existed at least until the 410s.

 

…..

X Fretensis was centrally involved in the First Jewish–Roman War (66–73), under the supreme command of Vespasian.

 

In 66, the X Fretensis and V Macedonica went to Alexandria for an invasion of Ethiopia planned by Nero. However, the two legions were needed in Judaea to suppress a revolt. After spending the winter in Ptolemais Ace (modern Acre, Israel), X Fretensis and V Macedonica relocated in the coastal city of Caesarea Maritima (67/68). This was due to the large number of legions being mobilized in Ptolemais, under Marcus Ulpius Traianus, future governor of Syria and father of the emperor Trajan. During that same winter, the Caesarea camp of Xth and Vth hosted Vespasian, who was forced to go to Rome the following year, where he seized power. Vespasian's son Titus finished the suppression of the revolt.

 

When Tarichacae and Gamla were conquered, the X Fretensis moved to Scythopolis (modern Bet She'an), just west of the Jordan River. In the summer of 68, X Fretensis destroyed the monastery of Qumran,[citation needed] where the Dead Sea Scrolls are believed to have originated. Its winter camp was at Jericho.

 

By 70, the rebellion in all of Judaea had been crushed, except for Jerusalem and a few fortresses, including Masada.

Syria Palaestina (Koine Greek: Συρία ἡ Παλαιστίνη, romanized: Syría hē Palaistínē [syˈri.a (h)e palɛsˈtine]) was the renamed Roman province formerly known as Judaea, following the Roman suppression of the Bar Kokhba revolt, in what then became known as Palaestina (Palestine) between the early 2nd and late 4th centuries AD. The provincial capital was Caesarea Maritima.[1][2] Diocletian added to it in c. 300 much of the province of Arabia Petraea. It forms part of the timeline of Roman Palestine,[3] the term used for the Southern Levant or Palestine region while under indirect or direct Roman rule.

The connection between Mike Pompeo and "Mercer" relates to his family: his mother was Dorothy

Mercer Pompeo, and he and his wife Susan have a dog named Mercer, named after an American general, much like their other dog Sherman. The name "Mercer" is a personal family reference, appearing in his mother's maiden name and his dog's name, distinct from any significant professional affiliation or political entity, though his business career involved companies like Thayer Aerospace and Sentry International.

Key Details:

 

Mother: Dorothy (Mercer) Pompeo.

Dog: Mike and Susan Pompeo's dog is named Mercer, a nod to American military history.

Business: His background includes co-founding Thayer Aerospace and leading Sentry International, but not a company named Mercer.

 

In summary, "Mercer" is a familial and personal reference for Mike Pompeo, not a business partner or entity he's primarily known for.

Billions of family history records are now available to the public with the completion of a microfilm digitization initiative by the LDS Church.

 

“This is a really incredible milestone,” said Joseph Monsen, director of preservation services for the Church History Department. “For 83 years, the Church has been collecting and using microfilm records to support genealogical research. … 2.4 million rolls of microfilm are all digitally saved now and available.”

 

These records are available to anyone; all that's needed is a computer and Internet connection to find family documents and records digitized as part of this effort.

LDS Church welcome centers provide resources to immigrants, refugees

By Genelle Pugmire special To The Standard-Examiner - | Jun 17, 2021

 

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is stepping out in humanitarian services and initiatives, fulfilling the teaching of the New Testament to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and care for the widow and downtrodden.

 

As part of its Immigrant Services Initiative, the LDS Church has opened more than a dozen welcome centers throughout North America.

 

The centers are designed to help immigrants and refugees integrate into their new communities.

 

Volunteers help immigrants find access to community legal services, improve their English, strengthen emotional resilience, progress on a path to citizenship and better understand American culture so they can obtain better jobs and live better lives. All these services (both in-person and virtual) are free for immigrants, according to a church statement.

 

Welcome centers are located is several locations in Texas, Arizona, Utah, Nevada and as far away as Canada. In Utah, there are centers at Welfare Square in Salt Lake City, in Ogden and two with smaller legal centers in Sugar House and Provo.

 

When Dan and Lorrie Curriden look at the faces of the immigrants they serve in Las Vegas, they see the courage of their own immigrant grandparents.

 

Whether one is a new immigrant or five generations removed from one, Dan Curriden said, “We all benefit from the fact that somebody in our ancestry had the guts to leave the place where they came from, into the unknown, and find a better life for their children in this great country.”

 

The Curridens volunteer at a Welcome Center for the church in East Las Vegas. This is one of more than a dozen such centers throughout seven states and one Canadian province. All are part of the church’s Immigrant Services Initiative, which since 2015 has helped immigrants and refugees integrate into their new communities, according to church information.

 

“We connect our patrons with the resources in the community that they may need, whatever that resource might be,” Lorrie Curriden said. “It’s wonderful to offer a full slate of services based on what people need when they come through the door. Our goal is to help them determine their areas of greatest need and figure out a way we can help them.”

 

Because of the high number of Hispanics in Las Vegas (approximately 700,000, or nearly one in three residents), the Welcome Center there is tailored to serve that population.

 

Sister Arianna Mestre of Venezuela, a missionary who has learned English on her mission in the Western United States, helps immigrants in Las Vegas improve their English.

 

“It feels really good (to help people),” she said. “It’s the reason why I came on a mission — to love and to serve. It’s been amazing. I really like meeting new people every week and seeing the same people also coming and seeing them grow with their English. It’s really, really good to help them.”
