TTN-Totally True News

Michel De Vallavieille and The Role of Paratroopers on D-Day Michel de Vallavieille was the first person to be evacuated from Utah beach, but he was not in the Allied army, neither was he in the German army. So who was he, and what happened to him? On the night of June 5th, 1944, American paratroopers landed behind enemy lines with the objective of clearing the way for the troops landing at the beaches the next morning. The planes carrying the paratroopers got lost and dropped them much to low and at the wrong spots. As a result, they landed unorganized and formed small bands that experienced a little bit of scattered firefights, but most of the fighting would come the next day. The next morning, a small group of paratroopers from the 506th PIR had formed into what was supposed to be Easy Company. There were only about fourteen of them. The group was told to attack a group of four 106mm cannons at a small farm called Brecourt Manor. Brecourt Manor was owned by the Vallavieille ...

The "Zero"-Zero Myths About it are True There are already multiple articles and videos about how obsolete the main Japanese carrier based fighter of WW2 was, but a good pun was thought of so this article had to be written. The A6M Zero was built with many ambitious goals, only some of which would actually be useful. When the Imperial Japanese navy ordered a fighter with such range maneuverability, firepower, and speed Nakajima decided it was impossible to design it with their low budget and backed out, but Mitsubishi stayed in. Many corners were cut and the fighter was made as light as possible and lacking many crucial components. In the beginning of the war, the Zero was much more maneuverable than the allied planes and had two 30 caliber machine guns --somewhat effective for close range combat-- and two deadly 20mm cannons. The 20mm could tear enormous holes in the American  bombers, as seen in the image below. Against the Navy fighters used early in the war, it would...

      When I first started playing guitar, I rented a guitar from HB Woodsongs with a rent-to-own contract, meaning that after renting for a certain period of time, I could keep the guitar. The guitar was a good one, but I found out that I wanted to play more rock and metal, so I chose to buy an electric guitar. After a few weeks of shopping online, I found a guitar that I really liked. It was on Amazon though, and my last experience of buying through Amazon was disastrous. After some more shopping on guitarcenter.com, I found another really good guitar from a good brand. It was the Squier Stratocaster HSS with tremolo. It was only $130 - cheap for guitars. It arrived around 3 days later. When I opened it it was a great looking instrument with a shiny coating. Without an amp, I had to improvise, so I got an adapter and plugged it into a speaker using an AUX cable. Eventually, I got a Blackstar Fly 3 amp. The guitar sounds great on any of the p...

President Trump is scheduled to arm wrestle Kim Jong Un at their next meeting. "This event will decide the future of the North Korean nuclear weapons program," says one of our sources who decided to stay anonymous. The arm wrestle, scheduled to take place on the second day of the summit, will be a historic event. "This is the fight of the century," says Caleb Frank, one of our journalists here at TTN, with some connections to the white house, "The outcome of this [arm] wrestle will determine the winner of WW4. Most historians know that if parliament was ever having a hard time passing a law, then each side would send one representative to [arm] wrestle the other, but this has never happened at such a large scale." The White House Press Correspondent says "The president is looking forward the 28th [the day of the scheduled event] and he has been cooped up in the Oval Office for hours on end taking advice from the professionals and exercising his musc...

'Monster' is a novel by Walter Dean Myers. In it, a black boy named Steve Harmon is put on trial for being an accomplice to murder. He is a film club member, and the book is written like a movie script. While those who know him closely say he is innocent, and would never commit a crime, many witnesses are called in who falsely testify that he was a lookout for the robbery. While he is in jail, he hears inmates being beaten by others and witnesses gruesome fights. Myers uses these facts to explore emotions felt by the inmates, some of which have discussions with Steve about being guilty and getting their sentences. Many of them felt regret for the actions that got them into jail. Steve also includes notes in the book, many of which hint at a sense of despair. The book's format made it hard to read, but I was still able to read it in less than a day. This book was a good book, and it was easy to read a little at a time. I recommend this book to anyone w...

Every day, 20 people in the US die while waiting for an organ donation. Many of these people might have had a friend or family member try to donate, to find out that they are incompatible. 3D printed organs can solve that problem by printing these people new organs custom built for them. This will also solve another problem, which is that your body may attack an organ which it believes to be a foreign object.  Unfortunately, this technology is not available to everyone yet, so we are stuck with the old waiting line. How it works There are several different methods for 3d printing organs. Each of them has different problems and uses different materials. There are various other types of bioprinting that are not mentioned in this article too. Bioprinting works better than injection molding organs because injection molds can't make complex shapes inside of an organ The first method is inkjet-based bioprinting. This method pushes print material out of a nozzle and...

In Influence , Robert Cadilini shares valuable insight on the many strategies used by salespeople to get you to buy something. He includes many examples, studies, and letters from readers. He also shares valuable tactics for countering these strategies.  The techniques discussed are very broad but are all based on one idea; people have fixed responses to certain things. Dr. Cadilini explores this in the first chapter by first describing this in animals. He then describes how this could occur in humans. Each chapter, starting with chapter two, has one strategy. I found the letters from readers to be very good examples.   However, I found that this book was harder to read than most of the other books that I have read. This book was harder to read for a few reasons. First, the book contained an excess of examples. I think that Dr. Cadilini could have made the points just as strong while using just half of the examples. Also, I think that the chapters had subtop...
