Pieces of silver recovered from the wreck of the Whydah The grave is believed to be the final resting place of Captain 'Black Sam' Bellamy's 100-strong crew. Dating back 300 years, the site, which is located in a secluded area of Cape Cod, is thought to be where Bellamy's crew was buried after their ship, the Whydah Gally, was wrecked back in 1717. Around 100 sets of remains have been found so far, however Bellamy himself, who was once dubbed 'the world's richest pirate' after raiding more than 54 vessels, was not among them. Instead, his body was thought to have been found during an earlier excavation of the wreck itself. "He was known as the 'Prince of Pirates' because of his gentle but stern nature and he was able to mitigate potentially violent situations," said investigation leader Casey Sherman. Efforts are now ongoing to match the DNA from the body with that of Bellamy's living descendants. "The evidence that it's Bellamy's [body] is exceedingly compelling," said Prof Timothy Palmbach. "It was immediately next to a pistol that was proved to be Bellamy's without a shadow of a doubt."

It will be possible for sure. Some people have already seen it with telescopes. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2018/03/29/you-know-that-chinese-satellite-crashing-to-earth-within-days-its-not-alone/?utm_term=.39fe04e59e2a

Happy Birthday @truth_hun!

Grandfather Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update. Today we are showing off a render of another Soviet tank, the T-34 model of 1941. This earlier version of the T-34 will be serving alongside our current model of 1943. Compared to the variants that would follow it, the T-34 model 1941 was expensive, cramped and mechanically unreliable. It differed from the original model of 1940 by the addition of a more powerful gun and a new radio. While on paper it was one of the best tanks of the day, in practice it didn't live up to quite such high expectations. Visibility for the commander was poor, and the lack of a turret basket floor left the loader in a tricky position once the floor mat was lifted to access the ammunition stores. The model 1941 was produced in great quantities until it was replaced in production by the simpler and cheaper model 1942. Our model 1941 was modified by Stubbfan from our original model 1943 made by Pointblank86. Full article here: http://forgottenhope.warumdarum.de/news.php?id_news=511

Hola. Im Portuguese. You can consider me Latin also. My writen latin is very bad but my latin talking is smooth.

Fantastic pictures guys! Its always great to see trips to actual battle locations.

Today is ARMA III day! Dont forget to join!

The station is likely to come down in time for Easter China's out-of-control Tiangong-1 space lab is now expected to fall to Earth between March 30 and April 2, 2018. Originally launched back in 2011, China's prototype space station Tiangong-1 or 'Heavenly Place' was used as both a manned laboratory and as a test platform to demonstrate orbital docking capabilities. A few months after it ceased operations in 2016 however, amateur satellite trackers noticed that it seemed to be out of control, something that was later officially confirmed by China's space agency. Now according to the European Space Agency's Space Debris Office in Darmstadt, Germany, Tiangoing-1 is very likely to fall to Earth at some point between March 30th and April 2nd. Scientists however were keen to stress that this window is 'highly variable'. While it isn't clear exactly where the station will come down, the most likely areas include northern China, central Europe, the northern US, New Zealand, South Africa and parts of South America. The chances of anyone actually being injured by it however are infinitesimally small. "In the history of spaceflight no known person has ever been harmed by reentering space debris," said research organization Aerospace. "Only one person has ever been recorded as being hit by a piece of space debris and, fortunately, she was not injured."

A big thank you to everyone that has donated until now!

This is awesome!

HOLY SHIT!!!!!

Astronaut Scott Kelly had an identical twin brother when he ventured into space and set the record for most consecutive days spent in orbit, but not anymore. In a groundbreaking new study, NASA scientists found that Kelly’s DNA had been altered upon his return to earth — with 7 percent of his genes experiencing an “unexpected change,” according to the agency. Research teams from around the country had been analyzing the New Jersey native’s condition and genetic makeup following his year-long stay aboard the International Space Station as part of NASA’s “Twins Study.” Kelly said on Twitter that he didn’t find out about the results until he saw media reports this week about the DNA change. “What? My DNA changed by 7%! Who knew?” he tweeted. “I just learned about it in this article. This could be good news! I no longer have to call @ShuttleCDRKelly my identical twin brother anymore.” According to NASA, Kelly’s 340 days in orbit may have ultimately activated what scientists describe as “space genes.” “This is thought to be from the stresses of space travel, which can cause changes in a cell’s biological pathways and ejection of DNA and RNA,” the agency said. “Such actions can trigger the assembly of new molecules, like a fat or protein, cellular degradation; and can turn genes on and off, which change cellular function.” Researchers said the long-term changes were related to Kelly’s immune system, DNA repair, bone formation networks, hypoxia and hypercapnia. “By studying how space travel can influence chemical changes in RNA and DNA, new ‘space genes’ were reported, indicating significant cell stress and correlations with changes noted by other Twins Study investigators,” explained NASA. “Whole-genome sequencing showed each twin has hundreds of unique mutations in their genome, more than expected, and some were found only after spaceflight.” Full article here: https://nypost.com/2018/03/14/astronauts-dna-no-longer-matches-his-identical-twin/

Was the settlement of Hop in New Brunswick ? Known as Hop, the settlement has been spoken of in Norse sagas passed down over hundreds of years. Archaeologists have long known that the Vikings founded a settlement in North America around 1,000 years ago, several centuries before famed explorer Christopher Columbus - who is frequently credited with discovering the continent - had even been born. One site known to have been used by these ancient Scandinavian seafarers was L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland, which today is classed as a United Nations World Heritage site. The whereabouts of Hop, however - a legendary North American Viking settlement famed for its grapes, salmon and canoes made from animal skins - has long remained a mystery. Now though, by studying Norse texts and archaeological finds on America's east coast, archaeologist and Viking expert Birgitta Wallace believes that she may have finally found the answer. Hop, she argues, was likely located in the Miramichi-Chaleur Bay area of New Brunswick, Canada. This particular location fits perfectly, both with historic descriptions of Hop and with the availability of the wild resources, such as grapes and salmon, that the settlement was known for. The idea that Hop was only a single site however may be incorrect, as Wallace believes that the name may have referred to several short-term settlements in the area that changed each year. Given that most of these potential settlement sites are now paved over however, it may be very difficult to prove once and for all that Hop really did exist at this location.

http://forgottenhope.warumdarum.de/news.php?id_news=510 Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update. Today we are showing off the third map to make it into our upcoming version 2.53 update. Today's map is Lenino, covering the first major action of the Polish People's Army. This of course means that we have yet another new country to add to Forgotten Hope 2: Poland. Lenino was made by Aserafimov. On 12 October 1943, near the village of Lenino in the Mogilev Oblast, the Polish 1st Tadeusz Kosciuszko Infantry Division prepared to enter action for the first time, under the auspices of the Soviet created "Polish Army of the East." This battle was supposed to mark the beginning of Polish-Soviet fraternity and strengthen combat association between their soldiers. Yet, with Polish morale low as most soldiers had only just been released from Soviet Gulags, and the promised Soviet armoured, aerial, and artillery support never showing, the Tadeusz Kosciuszko Division would face a fiery combat debut against the battle hardened 113th and 337th Infantry Divisions. You can find the minimap and a preliminary vehicle listing here.

Happy Birthday @Tutvys!

Congratulations @Shadow Knight!
