In all the masses of information I have seen since WW2, I have never heard or seen this fact in my entire life and only discovered it on the web today.
Hitler was a very accomplished painter and the proof that this story is factual to me, is that two of Hitler's signed paintings were found in the Mother's attic after her death.
You can Google for Hitler's son on the web and you will find many amazing links. I give these two just as an example -

I have had two Windows crashes where Windows 10 had to be totally reloaded. Providing all browsers and emails are kept in sync during operation, the browsers will return completely unchanged with all passwords and the emails will be complete and unchanged. All as previous. Photos and personal files. I used Onedrive to sync all my photos and personal files - the free 5 GB version. In each case all the photos and files synced to Onedrive were recovered without any loss. These were mainly covered by syncing my Desktop to Onedrive which covered these files in my case : Documents and Pictures can also be synced. Onedrive syncs the files to the Microsoft cloud storage. All photos and screenshots can be instantly saved to Onedrive at the press of a mouse if you wish, otherwise Onedrive will sync these from any selected folder listed on Ondrive. Onedrive comes in-built with Windows 10 and is not enabled by default, follow this - https://www.ghacks.net/2017/07/11/how-to-use-onedrives-files-on-demand-feature/

See 12 CommentsA welcome to all diners who wish to have a meal at the Great British restaurant, here is the menu :- Starter :- Unbelievable incompetent Management to the detriment of the nation and population. A national debt that is second only to the USA in the entire World, of £2.08 Trillion. Main course :- Uncontrolled benefits generosity in excess of £200 Billion per year. An obsession legacy of Empire and power, that has long gone. An attitude to look after everybody else in the World before UK citizens. An annual Foreign Aid budget of £12-14 Billion, second only to the USA, to the detriment of UK domestic services and welfare. A complete disregard for UK people, their prosperity, welfare and social services. The deployment of UK military personnel at monumental cost to the taxpayer, to be killed and maimed in conflicts that are none of our business. The astronomic expense of keeping the Royal family in excruciating luxury, only surpassed by the last Tzar of Russia. The total inclusive cost to the UK taxpayer of keeping these Royal fossils is around £300 Million per year. The Queen is given an annual sum of £40 Million per year. Dessert :- Uncontrolled Immigration letting anybody into our country regardless of medical checks and legality, resulting in 15%+ of our population being of foreign origin, mostly Asian or African. Cultures alien to Britain. Uncontrolled entrance to Asylum Seekers, European migrant workers and any flotsam that happens to arrive on our shores. Turning a blind eye to illegal immigrants due to the problem having got out of hand. The complete destruction of our national traditions and heritage. Coffee :- Just about anything else that gives our money away to those who do not deserve it, over-crowds our small country and completes the destruction of a previously proud and powerful nation. After-meal summary :- If anybody wishes to complete their days in British comfort, they must live in a remote area, free from desecration, in the remaining remnants of our ravaged land, have no TV and be devoid of newspapers. Only then perhaps can one achieve a virtual sniff of traditional British life as it was and still should be, by behaving like an Ostrich. Enjoy your meal. July 2021 : $1.38 = £1 ______________

See 24 CommentsWhen there are a number of notifications on the dropdown panel, they are all shown shaded. .When one is clicked the shading to all the others in the same thread disappears and reference to any others in the same thread is completely lost from viewing due to looping. The shading should remain until all the notifications have been individually viewed. With the old sequencing of series comments, it would not matter, but with looping comments other than the one selected are lost to view.

See 7 CommentsMany people think that our Seasons are due to the Earth`s distance from the Sun during the elliptical orbit e.g The Earth is closer to the Sun in Summer and further away from the Sun in Winter. Well, they are wrong, back to the drawing board. Since it is Summer in Australia when it is Winter in Europe and vice versa, the Earth`s distance from the Sun is not the cause of our Seasons. Seasons are caused entirely by the TILT or axial shift of the Earth during its own normal axial rotational orbit around the Sun. The axial shift is mathematically precisional and is constant for every year and every orbit. The Earth tilts 23.44 degrees on its rotational axis around the Sun perpendicular to Polaris (the North Star). I think I`ll have a beer.

First create a desktop folder - right click any free space on your desktop>new>folder> give it a name e.g PHOTOS 1. Click Onedrive icon on taskbar or click Start>scroll to Onedrive - click - Onedrive panel comes up with listed folders. 2. Click the folder you want - list of files comes up - put cursor over the file you want to copy and it highlights in blue. 3. Go to "Home" in menu then "Copy to" - popup panel shows - scroll down list to the new folder you created and click, then OK/Apply. A panel comes up copying the selected item to the new desktop folder. All done, the Onedrive folder/file is now in your new desktop folder. Note - 2. A folder can be copied or a file inside that folder, using the same procedure. Note - 3. If the new folder is not on the dropdown list shown, go to bottom of the list and click "choose location", another panel shows, go to bottom of the list and your new desktop folder should be shown - click it then "copy" and copying will start. The whole thing from creating a desktop folder to copying the selected file only takes a couple of minutes.

My computer shows the American date e.g 07/05/21 when the UK date is expressed as 05/07/21. I find this very misleading. To correct to UK format do this - Right click time and click "Adjust date/time". Click "Change data formats", bottom centre. Short date - from dropdown panel - select format 05-Apr-17 Long date - select Wednesday, April 5, 2017 All done - date now shows Monday - 05-Jul-21 (today's date).

This is really for the techie. 1. To see Windows system information, simply type "system information" into the search box, taskbar bottom left and open the file. 2. To place a shortcut on your desktop, right click any space on the desktop, then on the popup panel - New>Shortcut. Enter "msinfo32" into the location box, click Next, type a name in the name box - e.g System Information and then Finish - you now have a desktop shortcut.

See 3 CommentsI have an extension which blocks all tracking cookies - DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials. Normally sites just have 1-5 tracking cookies, but I have just noticed that Amazon have a world beating total of 21 tracking cookies !!! I have never seen that number of site tracking cookies in my life. SL have 2 tracking cookies - Google and Facebook. Setting your browser to "Do not track" is simply a request, sites often ignore it. The only way to stop trackers is by installing an anti-track extension. https://us.norton.com/internetsecurity-privacy-what-are-tracking-cookies.html

See 5 CommentsFor a long time now, the two SL groups have been reduced to a slogging match and completely abused owing to the general impression that the SL team are not on duty at the weekend.. This has been authenticated in practice, where mayhem occurs in a general free-for-all. When SL return on Monday, the two groups have been badly mauled and present a rather disheveled array of unpleasant posts, unbecoming of Forum controlled groups. Other groups are not affected since the moderators keep an eye on them at all times. Is it possible for the SL team to devise a Rota system whereby an SL member is on duty at the weekends ? It is not necessary to sit by a computer all day long, satisfactory moderation can be done leisurely and intermittently over the weekend.

See 14 CommentsThe poll placed on SL Community is useless - a mere 20 members voting out of 71 total in the group. Polls of this nature endeavoring to statistically assess the SL population can only be valid if the entire Forum is involved. SL should have an Announcement channel which is automatically inserted into EVERY members account. This would bring any SL announcements immediately to the attention of each member. THEN any SL poll would be representative of the entire membership and would be a valid result. Many other Forums do have such a channel for Forum announcements.

See 31 CommentsWe had several days of warm weather a few days ago, but now it is cold !! I set my heating at 20C when June came along, but now the temperature is only 13C my heating has been on. In all my life I cannot remember it being as cold as this and never remember the heating being on in June. Over the next week the forecast says it will climb to 20C - HUH, big deal, "Flaming June" has almost gone !!

This is a Windows 10 built-in program, easy to use, only takes less than 3 minutes to run and is well worth running periodically. You have to be logged on as Admin. to run it. It will delete any malicious software it finds. It depends on how much you have on your C-drive, how long the scan will take to run. My C-drive has 915 GB max. storage and my used storage is 77 GB - a very small usage. Obviously more the storage, the longer the program will take to finish. To use Winkey + X>Run>Enter MRT.EXE>YES in popup panel>Next>Suggest Quick scan>Next>Scan starts>About 3 minutes>See results if needed>Otherwise Finish.

See 12 CommentsThese programs thoroughly integrate into your system. They are almost impossible to entirely remove, certainly not by using the Windows uninstaller. I can only relate how I did it based on searching the web and following the advice of experts on my computer Forum. 1. Use Revo Uninstaller (https://www.revouninstaller.com/products/revo-uninstaller-free/) to uninstall the program and all the many left overs, be very careful only to delete the items highlighted in bold. Delete them all. 2. Use the suppliers clean uninstall program, most suppliers have one - search the web for it. Delete what is found. 3. Use RegSeeker (https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/regseeker.html) - this program will search the registry for all remaining entries of the unwanted program and it WILL find some. Delete them all. All done - you should now be totally free of the unwanted program. After all this, in my case a handful of registry items are still present on my computer. The suppliers insert a feature which reinstalls their basic registry items previously deleted on restart or shutdown - there are only about 3-6 items. All of which are completely inert and useless since their paths have been deleted. Just ignore them. You can check them by using RegSeeker after all the uninstall procedures have been done.

See 50 CommentsAfter many years of entering my ID and password, Sainsbury's have over the past few days introduced a 6 digit security code as well before accessing your account. Enter ID and password and then they send you a 6 digit code by email. So you then have to logon to your email, get the 6 digit code and enter it in the Sainsbury's logon, only then does it go through to your account. What an annoying mis-improvement to implement. It is however a very secure measure to bring your email into the equation, anybody can get into your account if they have your ID and password or complete a captcha. But they cannot get over your email.

See 1 CommentFirst go to - Settings>Multi-tasking>Snap windows>ON>check the 3 boxes under. Place your open programs on the taskbar. For any open screen press Windows key + left or right arrow key. The program then shows half screen width. The other half of the screen is available for your taskbar items. Click any one and place it on the free side of the split screen. You can now work on two screens at the same time. All tabs are available on the main screen. When finished just press the maximise buttons. For more information about split screens, search for "Windows split screen".

See 3 CommentsI use Microsoft Edge Chromium as my default browser. It is a fabulous browser almost the same layout as Google Chrome but much better. Tabs show Bing, a beautiful search engine which displays fabulous natural scenes, as good as I have ever seen in my life. These scenes change regularly. It also has 7 pictorial icons of your recent links with an ADD for personal choice. At the top left is a menu icon which when clicked displays a number of your apps. to access. It welcomes you when first switched on and has a weather icon that displays a superb weather forecast for your area.

See 31 CommentsI would like to say that SL is an excellent social Forum. SL has site moderators who could do more to censure anti-social posts which spoil members pleasure, but actually do a very reasonable job, for which we must all thank them. The SL Team do take into account our comments and feedback, implementing those measures which they consider beneficial to the Forum and individual in general. The Forum format is extremely well designed and site navigation is excellent. I cannot find another social Forum that is anywhere near as good as SL. Let us all appreciate SL and endeavour to keep it a friendly Forum for all to enjoy and refrain from engaging in petty and unnecessary offensive behaviour. Well done the SL Team for providing an excellent social Forum for us all to enjoy.

See 9 CommentsSo many countries have nuclear weapons now that a major war seems a thing of the past, unless some idiotic nation starts one and then God help us all. The nuclear club - Russia, 6,375 nuclear warheads The United States of America, 5,800 nuclear warheads France, 290 nuclear warheads China, 320 nuclear warheads The United Kingdom, 215 nuclear warheads Pakistan, 160 nuclear warheads India, 135 nuclear warheads Israel, 90 nuclear warheads North Korea, 30-40 nuclear warheads The atom bombs used at Hiroshima and Nagasaki created blasts equivalent to 16 Kilotons. However the most powerful hydrogen bomb can be 50 Megatons - more than 5,000 times more powerful than a single atomic bomb

I use Microsoft Edge Chromium as my default browser, but have DuckDuckGo as my default search engine. My browser opens with DuckDuckgo, but all tabs open with Bing. If I use Bing to search, a small panel comes up offering me the option of using DDG for the search item, which I then click. I like this arrangement. Bing provides a constant series of the most beautiful and breath-taking natural scenes possible. They have a "Like this image" button, giving a choice of "I like it" or "Not a fan". If you click "I like it" Bing will tell you where the image is taken and will then keep providing similar images. If you click "Not a fan", Bing will keep providing a series of alternative images until you do like one and select it. The purpose of this post is to emphasise what spectacular natural images Bing provides.

See 5 CommentsIt is very advisable to have a backup for Windows to ensure you can recover your C-drive in case of Windows failure. Macrium Reflect is used extensively throughout the world as being the most popular backup program. Just search for Macrium Reflect on the web - links are there to install it and also explain how to use it. Imaging is the most popular choice, it is more versatile, but I use cloning. The Macrium Reflect boot media, a screen which offers a choice between Windows 10 or Macrium Reflect and displays for 10 seconds before going on to Windows start, is inserted into my PC startup procedure and my clone is placed on an external 1 TB drive. I refresh the clone every 3-4 weeks. https://www.macrium.com/reflectfree Select the FREE version.
