The Conference of High Contracting Parties to the Geneva Conventions scheduled for 7 March will not take place

of the Western Gate

The coastline of southern California between San Diego and Los Angeles lies generally in a north/south direction, but as it proceeds northward, it slowly curves toward the west until at Santa Barbara, the coastline lies in an east/west direction.

WHO WAS SHINZO ABE? – THE SHORROCK FILES

Soon, these shady relationships, and the politics behind them, became the number one issue in Japan, obscuring much of the positive coverage that usually follows a political assassination.
