French Blue William Lawrence Sr Omnibit 6-10-19
The French Blue was the prized possession of King Louis XIV. It was a diamond specially cut to produce an image of a sun when mounted on a gold background. Louie was the Sun King after all. It was stolen in the French Revolution, recut and found its way to England where it resurfaced in 1812.
Eventually it was purchased by Thomas Hope, a rich British/Dutch banker better known for writing the 19th century bestseller Anastasius. Hope willed it to his grandson Henry Francis Pelham-Clinton Hope who married May Yohe, an American concert hall singer who ran off on him after his bankruptcy.
Take note Prince Harry.
Hope sold the diamond in 1902 to pay off debts. It was owned by a Turkish diamond collector, and various jewelry merchants including Pierre Cartier who eventually sold it to Washington D.C. socialite Evalyn Walsh McLean, who as “Missus Ned McLean,” is name-checked in Cole Porter’s “Anything Goes”.
She died in 1947 after much tragedy and her trust sold it to jeweler Harry Winston who donated it to the Smithsonian Institution where it is displayed at the National Museum of Natural History.

Deleting Alexa Commands
Deleting Alexa Commands — It’s being claimed that there is a new voice command that allows you to delete the directions you’ve given Amazon Alexa. Simply say “Alexa, delete everything I said today.” Apparently it only works for a partial day though.
Frankly, we don’t trust anything claimed for Sleepless in Seattle.
Hat tip Duck Duck Go, which is Proactive in Paoli.

Princeton IoT Inspector Monitors Alexa While She Monitors You
Princeton IoT Inspector Monitors Alexa While She Monitors You — Alexa, who is listening in? Good luck with getting an answer. Actually, she’ll refrence a 1979 song by the Northern Irish group The Undertones.
If you wish to learn who is monitoring your life while you think Seattle’s Mata Hari is sound asleep, check out the Princeton IoT Inspector from Princeton University.
IoT means “internet of things.”
Princeton describes the Inspector as an open-source desktop tool with a one-click install process that lets you automatically discovers IoT devices and analyzes their network traffic and helps you identify security and privacy issues with graphs and tables
The Inspector requires minimal technical skills and no special hardware as Princeton notes.
Hat tip to DuckDuckGo, Chester County’s very own Google slayer.

Super Pershing William Lawrence Sr Omnibit 6-7-19
Some say the German King Tiger tank was the best tank of World War II. On April 21, 1945 it faced off in a one-on-one duel with an American T-26 Super Pershing in Dessau, Germany. Both crews saw each other at about the same time, and in fact, the German fired first.
The American tank responded with a high-explosive shell which hit it doing it little damage. The German tank apparently fired again — the Pershing was rattled by something — again with little effect. The Pershing then took its second shot with an armor piercing round and the Tiger went up in smoke.
So no, Anthony, the German King Tiger was not the top tank in World War II.

Churchill Trump William Lawrence Sr Omnibit 6-6-19
Churchill Trump — On this 75th Anniversary of D-Day, we’d like to point out that Winston Churchill, the man who saved the world in 1940, was half American and half British. His dad was Lord Randolph Churchill, an English aristocrat and his mom was Jennie Jerome Spencer-Churchill, who was born in Brooklyn.
We’d also like to point out that President Donald J. Trump, who is saving the world right now, is also half-Yank/half-Brit. His father Fred was born in the Bronx. His mother Mary Anne, the daughter of a fisherman, was born on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland.
It’s a pretty neat connection. Hopefully, pointing this out triggers someone.
By the way, Trump’s uncle John Trump was the brilliant physicist who developed radiation therapy as a cure for cancer and was tasked by the U.S. government to search the papers of the recently departed Nikola Tesla for potential secret weapons.
Stable genius must run in the family.

Abortion Healing Overlooked By Pro Life Movement
Abortion Healing Overlooked By Pro Life Movement — World Net Daily has a profound article concerning a part of the abortion debate often ignored, namely the wounds caused by those who had abortions.
For many abortion is a deep wound that must be healed, says Karen Ellison, the founder of Deeper Still Ministries in Knoxville, Tennessee.
“People with abortion-wounded hearts are constantly managing the stuffed pain,” she says. “If you don’t have a hope that someone will forgive you and help you heal, your response is more one of anger and defensiveness. You’re not going to let these people take you down.”
Ms. Ellison operates healing retreats for those who had abortions including in China. She notes that 98 percent of abortions happen outside the United States.
The biggest demographic segment at the retreats, she said, are women in their 50s, she said. Women in their 20s who have had an abortion tend to be in denial, but by the time they reach their 40s, “they begin to look back on life and have a lot of regrets.”
She said that when they reach their 60s and 70s, they say: “I don’t want to go to my grave with this on my conscience. Are you telling me there is a way out? Are you telling me I can have peace before I die?”
She also said men attend expressing regret for not fighting for the unborn child.
Ms. Ellison, who was motivated to start her ministry from an abortion she had as a college student, longs for the day when abortion will become not only “illegal but unthinkable.”
It’s a good article. You can read the whole thing here.
