A 1969 timeline: Turbulent year signaled major societal change

A 1969 timeline: Turbulent year signaled major societal change The news in 1969 may not have been as big or as bad as in 1968, which had the Kennedy and King assassinations.  But there was more of it in 1969, and whatever happened in any category was usually stranger than what had come before it in a decade that had already been strange to the extreme The most astonishing events could be easily reduced to a handful: Woodstock, People’s Park, Charlie Manson, the Zodiac, the moon landing, the Alcatraz occupation, the Miracle Mets, Broadway Joe, the Weathermen, Chappaquiddick and “Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice.” Fifty years later, you can mention any of these to someone who remembers, and you will be headed deep into tumult and trivia. It’s why we decided to task our Chronicle writers and critics to take a deep dive into that year’s cultural moments; the landmark bits of music, film and television that helped shape 1969, and the years — decades — that followed.

Complete Guide to Red Light Districts in Manila

Complete Guide to Red Light Districts in Manila From what I can see in my website statistics is that most of you guys find Philippines Redcat by looking for all different sorts of nightlife and women related search phrases on Google. More specifically: Where to meet Filipina girls both during daytime and nighttime and where to meet both hookers and “normal” girls who are not primarily out for money. So today I thought it’s a good idea to create an overview guide of the different adult entertainment quarters in the capital. Manila has four foreigner-oriented red light districts:Each of these areas are quite unique in the types of bars and girls they have. It’s not like Bangkok where 90% of all bars in Nana Plaza, Soi Cowboy and Patpong are go go bars. They don’t even call them go go bars over here but bikini bars, and that’s because the girls don’t get naked anymore but wear tight bikinis. Don’t worry though, if you know what you are doing you still get to see some nipples, just continu...

Sarah Silbiger/Bloomberg via Getty Images Popular culture tends to focus on a few elements of pregnancy: morning sickness, the growing baby bump, and, of course, mood swings. But that ignores more dangerous, less well-known conditions associated with pregnancy. Up to 10 percent of pregnant US women are diagnosed with gestational diabetes and uncontrolled high blood sugar; untreated, this can result in a difficult delivery, and risks developing into Type 2 diabetes years later. Meanwhile, 2 to 8 percent of women worldwide have symptoms of preeclampsia, a condition involving high blood pressure that can lead to fatal seizures if untreated, can damage the mother’s organs, and increases the risk of chronic disease later in life for the baby. But even a supposedly normal, healthy pregnancy with no complications can lead to a lot more than just morning nausea. And the ordeal isn’t ove...

Rome may have been an incredible empire, but it was also utterly brutal.

Rome may have been an incredible empire, but it was also utterly brutal. Let’s do a quick list: Utterly brutal punishments When it came to punishing criminals, enemies and, anyone else they didn’t like, the Romans were brutal and cruel. Here are but a few of the most violent punishments they used: —Mass Crucifixion In situations such as slave revolts, the Romans would often mass-crucify thousands and thousands together. —Decimation Decimation was a punishment given to legionaries for severe breaches of discipline, the most common cause being if they fled the field of battle. Each cohort would be split into groups of 10, each drawing straws. Whoever drew the short straw would then be beaten to death by the other 9. Just imagine the brutality to being forced to beat to death your closest friends and colleagues, not to even consider being the one that drew the short straw. —Buried Alive The Vestal Virgins were a groups of virgins who had an oath of chastity to the Goddess Vesta. These oat...
