Hitler Plans To Crush Poland. Custom Hitler Plans To Crush Poland Essay Writing Service || Hitler Plans To Crush Poland Essay samples, help
1) What is this document? Who is the author, when was it produced or written, and what was the context in which it was produced?
The document that I have chosen is Document 20 that is titled "Hitler Plans To Crush Poland" that was written in the year 1939 the month of May 23rd, by Fuhrer who in a conference with the head of the armed forces. In the article Fuhrer tends to address the cause of the Second World War at a different angle (perspective), which in this case the document argues that the cause of the Second World War was as a result of the rivalry that existed between Germany and Poland which are countries that border each other.

Currency AUD EUR GBP USD
In the document the writer highlighted on the plans of Adolph Hitler the then German leader who saw Poland as the main enemy of his country and the only way in which he would suppress the activities of Poland was through the launching a war that would take Poland to its knees and prevent the country from being more powerful and emerging as a stronger nation than German.
There are a lot of different told stories and theories that highlighted on the causes of the Second World War, and the story from Fuhrer is one significant reason that provides the readers with a precise reason for the cause of the Second World War (Overy, Document 20). In the article Fuhrer explicitly explained on the conflict that exists between these two neighboring countries as the real cause of the Second World War. This is from the comment of Hitler when he stated that "The Pole is not a fresh enemy. Poland will always be on the side of our adversaries. In spite of treaties of friendship Poland has always been bent on exploiting every opportunity against us" (Overy, Document 20). These comments were very dangerous as they resulted to the increased hatred between these two countries that consequently led to the rivalry between these countries as each country was trying to protect its citizens, integrity, territory and boundaries.
2) Why is it significant? Why would it be included in a book about the origins of the Second World War?
The article has a very great significant in the history about the Second World War, this will be truly be reflected in the books as it provides a different angle of the cause of the war. The article has highlighted on the historical relationship between these two neighboring countries and from the comments that were stated by Hitler it has provided a clear picture that these two countries clearly dislike each other and either of the country is waiting for a very slim opportunity in order to attack the other (Overy, Document 20). The chance was exposed when Hitler addressed the nation and told the nation that Poland was a very dangerous nation that was against prosperity of Germany. This resulted to the war that lasted a longtime and eventually led to the Second World War as it attracted other nations that were allies of these conflicting countries and were also having interests in the country.
The article by Fuhrer is more important in it was included in the book and highlights on the causes of the Second World War; this is because it provides the readers with a new perspective (angle) that resulted to the Second World War. At the same time shifting the attention from the them super powers including the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and the united states of America (USA) that were seen as the major contributors in the Second World War (Overy, Document 20). This is as a result of these countries fighting for the recognition and the control of the worlds market; thus making it impossible to highlight the contributions of these countries in these super powers on the Second World War.
3) What conclusions can be drawn from this document? What does it tell you about the origins of the war?
In conclusion, that this document clearly states that Germany was the country that caused the Second World War; this is a true argument as it explains the happenings then and links them to the war. The document has also stated that Hitler was the main individual that triggered the Second World War and that was from the speech that he delivered to the country as a result of the unfaithful relationship between his country and Poland (Overy, Document 20). The invasion of the German soldiers in Poland was seen as the main trigger of the Second World War; this is because Poland couldn't just sit and watch as the Germans attack their nation.
The continued war between these nations attracted more and more states in to participating in the war since they were allies from other parts of the world. This alignment magnified the war and as a result of making the countries to solve there differences thus the war erupted and claimed a lot of human lives.
It is clear that the article highlighted on regional rivalry was the main cause of the Second World War. This being one aspect apart from the international rivalry, economic depressions, and ideological differences were some of the differences caused the Second World War (Overy, Document 20). The invasion by Hitler into Poland in attempts aimed at ensuring Poland powers were monitored so as not to create a threat to German.

Up in the Air: Hot Air Ballooning in Statesboro
March 8, 2017 By Casey Rohlen
When you enter the throes of adulthood it's far too easy to lose your sense of childlike wonder. We once stared up in awe of the skies; now we can hardly look past the work week ahead to the weekend. The good news is that it can be an easy fix – to branch out and find something that will put a genuine smile back on our face – and maybe the answer is up in the skies after all.
For people like Statesboro's own Cameron Jones, the answer came from joining the niche community of hot air ballooning. After graduating from Georgia Southern with a Bachelor of Arts in English and serving six years in the Air Force (including two tours in Iraq), Jones decided to get back to doing what he loved: hot air ballooning. No stranger to flight from his upbringing and his time in the Air Force, Jones became a second-generation hot air balloon pilot after training under Pembroke native and world-record-holder Andy Cayton.
"That was what we did every weekend was go help my dad fly balloons. That was the family business," Jones said. "Now I want to do it to bring something to the community and to be able to pay for the hobby myself. There are plenty of things to do here [in Statesboro] if you know where to look."
After being a Federal Aviation Administration-licensed pilot for three years, Jones recently launched Southeastern Balloon Services and some of those who have taken to the air with him have come out of it with a new perspective on life.
Jon Horely and his fiancé won a trip to fly with Jones after he won a Statesboro disc golf tournament. After going up, the self-described outdoor enthusiast and adventurer said he would jump at the chance to try it again.
"It was on my life-list, it was one of the things I just had to do and would more than like to do it again," Horely said. "Sure, I was nervous but once you're up there it's just so peaceful. It's so quiet. No noise pollution or anything so there was really nothing quite like it."
Besides the tranquility one may experience during a hot air balloon ride, they should also take comfort in the fact that hot air ballooning is the safest form of flight by the numbers. According to CNN, from the year 2000 to 2014, 728 people died in U.S. commercial and commuter airplane crashes compared to just 37 deaths in hot air balloon accidents. Fear of a car crash would be more reasonable than of a hot air balloon crash.
"It has no gears. It has no wings or engine or gears. There is simply just not as much to go wrong up there compared to any other type of travel," Jones said.
The height the balloons travel at is both their biggest adversary and their biggest draw when it comes to companies finding clientele. But 54-year-old Metter native Judy Jones had longed for the day when she could take flight and cross it off her bucket list. After being surprised by her husband for her birthday last year, Judy Jones finally got her chance.
"It was so so amazing. After looking for spots, Cameron came to our house and we took off from our backyard actually," Judy Jones excitedly recounted. "We had a great time, the best time. I really don't know what else to say but that it was phenomenal and I'll never forget it."
The Balloon Federation of America estimates that there are 150 to 200 commercial hot air balloon pilots in the United States so it may be difficult to find one in the Statesboro area with the expertise of Cameron Jones. Both Jon Horely and experienced crew hand Erica Santo swear to his ability to navigate the different wind streams and altitudes as well as landing the balloon.
"One of my favorite memories in ballooning entirely came during a five-minute flight with Cameron. We flew over this lake and he dropped it down on the beach," Santo said. "It's hard to explain how small the windows of opportunity are when you're doing this, you're basically at the whim of the wind so for him to land it on such a small area was truly amazing."
To contact Cameron Jones you can visit his website at www.southeasternballoonservices.com or call at 912-688-4261. A 40-minute balloon trip with a champagne toast and hands-on balloon education costs $225 per person on weekdays and $250 per person on weekends.

2 dead bodies found in Texas train wreckage
By Hector Morales / Wednesday, 29 Jun 2016 11:49PM
Dallas – On June 29, Search and Rescue teams found the dead bodies of two BNSF Railway workers among the wreckage near the town of Panhandle. The two men were involved in a train collision last Tuesday, and the company reports that four of their workers were on board the two vehicles.
One of them managed to jump off the locomotive seconds before the impact which saved his life; he is currently in the hospital with minor wounds. However, the company reported there is another man that is missing, and the authorities presume him dead.

Last Tuesday, two monorails crashed head on near the town of Panhandle, about 25 miles from Amarillo. Both machines belong to BNSF Railway, which is one of the biggest railroad companies in all the United States. Four of its crew members were reported to be on board the trains at the moment of the collision, but one of them jumped off the train moments before the accident. The other three were reported missing by the authorities, but the rescue teams found the remains of two of them this morning.
Neither the company nor the officials have exposed the cause of the accident. The BNSF Railway spokesperson said the organization did not know how the two locomotives ended up in the same rail, but they had already started an investigation. One of the trains had stopped in Amarillo to get extra fuel in preparation for a long journey to Los Angeles, and when the trains crashed, both machine's fuel ignited which resulted in a fire that burnt until the morning.
The accident highlights the necessity of an update in railroad security protocols

Train accidents are particularly messy. The scenario left by the crash at Panhandle is chaotic. Dozens of huge containers are spread over 400 yards piled one on top of the other. The trains were carrying consumer-oriented goods such as televisions, furniture and more, and so far, the authorities have not reported any other casualty. Nevertheless, having two locomotives colliding on the same rail is unthinkable because there is a strict protocol all train drivers have to follow before starting the engines.
However, these type of accidents are not that rare, so the federal authorities have been pushing for new regulations. Among the new measures railroad companies have to take, there is a safety technology called Positive Train Control (PTC).

— RT America (@RT_America) June 28, 2016
PTC is a system the authorities want to use to further monitor and control locomotive movements. It consists of two parts. One tells the train things like its current location, safe routes, and current speed among others. The other part is built in the vehicle, and it receives all this information and enforces the parameters set by the federal law. This system could have completely avoided the accident at Panhandle because once it detects two trains are in collision route, it can take quick action like for example, shutting down the engines or activating the brakes.
The Federal Railroad Administration set 2018 as the deadline for every railroad company to apply PTC to their infrastructure, and the BNSF Railway spokesperson said the company is aggressively working on it.

La cryoconservation de sperme (ou congélation de sperme) est une technique qui permet de conserver les spermatozoïdes ainsi que leur pouvoir fécondant pour une durée indéfinie. Les échantillons sont conservés au sein d'une banque de sperme et peuvent être utilisés par la suite dans le cadre de procédures d'assistance médicale à la procréation, de préservation de la fertilité, de don de gamètes, ou encore de recherche scientifique. Cette procédure, encadrée notamment par les lois de bioéthique en France, est utilisée avec succès depuis de nombreuses années.

Histoire de la cryoconservation de sperme
La première trace de cryoconservation de sperme remonte à plus de deux siècles, à la suite des expériences de Lazzaro Spallanzani en 1776 avec de la neige. Il constate que les spermatozoïdes s'immobilisent après une exposition à de basses températures, puis se réaniment après réchauffement. En 1886, Paolo Mantegazza a été le premier à envisager la création de banques de sperme humain congelé.

Bien plus tard, en 1949,  découvre l'action cryoprotectrice du glycérol. Cette avancée entraîne une nette amélioration des techniques de cryoconservation du sperme. Depuis, de nombreuses inséminations artificielles à partir de spermatozoïdes cryoconservés ont été effectuées avec succès chez différentes espèces : en 1951 pour la vache, 1957 pour le porc et le cheval, et 1967 pour le mouton.

La technique de congélation des spermatozoïdes humains, mise au point par Jerome Kalman Sherman en 1953, conduit peu après à la première grossesse humaine réussie. Cette découverte va permettre le développement de centres de congélation et de conservation de sperme, appelés « banques de sperme », à partir des années 1970 aux États-Unis. En France, la première association apparaît en 1973, avec la création des Centres d'Études et de Conservation des Œufs et du Sperme humain (CECOS) par Georges David à l'hôpital Bicêtre au Kremlin-Bicêtre en banlieue parisienne.

Congélation

Principe
Avant toute congélation, le sperme est analysé après avoir été collecté par éjaculation du donneur. Le volume, la concentration, la mobilité ainsi que la viabilité des spermatozoïdes sont contrôlés.

Dans l'heure suivant le prélèvement, le sperme est introduit dans un milieu cryoprotecteur avant d'être conditionné en paillettes. Ces paillettes sont identifiées avec le nom, le prénom et la date de naissance du donneur et leur nombre varie selon la qualité du sperme récolté.

La congélation des paillettes se fait en les introduisant dans de la vapeur d'azote à  pendant une dizaine de minutes. La conservation se fait ensuite dans de l'azote liquide à  en attendant l'utilisation du sperme. Une fois congelé, le sperme peut être conditionné pendant plus de  sans altération du pouvoir fécondant. Le processus congélation/décongélation peut tout de même entraîner une diminution de la mobilité des spermatozoïdes.

Milieu cryoprotecteur
La semence humaine est mélangée à un milieu cryoprotecteur avant d'être conditionnée en paillettes. Le cryoprotecteur le plus communément utilisé est le glycérol (entre 6 et 8% du volume total contenant l'échantillon), un cryoprotecteur pénétrant qui a pour rôle d'éviter la formation de cristaux à l'intérieur des spermatozoïdes. En effet, il provoque une déshydratation intracellulaire quasi-totale avant l'immersion dans l'azote liquide et forme des liaisons hydrogène avec l'eau restante, ce qui permet ainsi d'empêcher au maximum les dommages liés à la congélation.

À ce cryoprotecteur, un dilueur à composition variable est ajouté. Le dilueur à plusieurs rôles: nutritif (fructose, glucose), osmotique (NaCl, KCl), tampon (Tris) et enfin protecteur (antibiotiques).

Ce milieu protecteur sera généralement complété avec du jaune d'œuf ou de la lécithine de soja. Il n'y a pas de différence statistiquement significative entre les deux en ce qui concerne la motilité, la morphologie ou l'intégrité de l'ADN après décongélation.

Décongélation
Le processus de décongélation des spermatozoïdes est un enjeu important. En effet, la cryoconservation a pour but de conserver des spermatozoïdes dans le but de les utiliser ultérieurement. Lorsque le moment est arrivé de les utiliser, ceux-ci doivent subir le processus de décongélation. Le sperme de chaque individu réagit de manière différente à la congélation et à la décongélation.

Cependant, de manière générale, le processus de décongélation peut avoir plusieurs conséquences sur les spermatozoïdes. Ils peuvent subir différentes sortes de stress dues à des changements osmotiques, une déshydratation ou encore une formation de cristaux de glace. Ces stress se produisent à des températures entre -15 et . Lorsque le sperme est décongelé trop rapidement, les cellules vont être déshydratées et vont gonfler. Si la décongélation est trop lente, les cristaux intracellulaires peuvent augmenter de volume et donc endommager mécaniquement la cellule. Cependant, il est tout de même nécessaire que la décongélation soit effectuée assez rapidement, généralement à l'aide d'un bain-marie.

Des cryoprotecteurs peuvent être utilisés pour protéger les spermatozoïdes lors du processus de congélation/décongélation et permettent d'optimiser leur récupération lors de la décongélation.

Lors de sa congélation, le sperme se trouve sous forme de paillettes. Le processus de décongélation de sperme porcin sous forme de paillettes médium se fait par immersion dans un bain-marie à  pendant  puis à  dans un autre récipient. Pour les paillettes fines de porcins, le processus de décongélation est facilité car celles-ci permettent une décongélation toute aussi rapide dans un bain-marie à  pendant un temps indéterminé sans risque.

Recongélation
Afin d'éviter la fragmentation de l'ADN des spermatozoïdes, trois cycles de congélation et décongélation peuvent être pratiqués au maximum. Ce nombre de cycles ne présente pas de risque important pour l'intégrité de l'ADN par rapport à un cycle de congélation/décongélation.

À ceci s'appliquent plusieurs conditions. L'échantillon de sperme doit être recongelé dans son milieu cryoprotecteur d'origine. Ensuite, il ne doit pas subir de lavage ou d'autres types d'altération entre deux cycles de congélation. Enfin, l'échantillon doit être purifié par centrifugation analytique en utilisant un gradient de densité ou par lavage des spermatozoïdes avant son utilisation pour tout acte de procréation assistée.

Cette technique permet donc de réutiliser le sperme congelé pour plusieurs inséminations artificielles par exemple.

Effet sur la qualité
Lorsque le sperme est congelé, il dispose généralement d'une longue durée de conservation sans avoir aucune altération du pouvoir fécondant. Cependant, la tolérance lors de la congélation/décongélation est non prévisible et dépend de chaque individu.

Il est possible que la cryoconservation provoque diverses altérations des spermatozoïdes au niveau membranaire ainsi qu'au niveau nucléaire. Cela entraîne des dégâts cellulaires provenant de multiples origines telles que la biochimie, la mécanique ou encore la génétique. Des preuves ont montré qu'après la cryoconservation, l'ADN contenu dans le sperme présente une augmentation des cassures simple brin, du nombre de fragmentation mais aussi de la condensation de la chromatine. Ces dégradations peuvent éventuellement augmenter le risque de mutations de l'ADN pour la descendance. De plus, le processus de congélation/décongélation peut modifier la mobilité des spermatozoïdes et la qualité de l'ADN à cause de l'apparition d'un état de stress oxydant et aussi probablement par l'induction de l'apoptose.

En revanche, certaines études n'ont démontré aucune augmentation des anomalies congénitales ou chromosomiques chez les individus conçus à partir de spermatozoïdes cryoconservés par rapport à une fécondation naturelle.

De même, pendant la congélation, ces changements apparaissent à la suite de plusieurs facteurs ayant des conséquences sur la structure biologique du spermatozoïde. Ces facteurs peuvent être physiques (variations de pression osmotique et hydrostatique, force mécanique et tension électrique des cristaux de glace), ou chimiques (redistribution des composants ioniques, variations de pH, transition de phase des biopolymères, oxydoréduction, effets des cryoprotecteurs, radicaux libres). Ces principaux dommages sont liés au froid, à la présence de glace, à la déshydratation (pression osmotique), et à la toxicité des cryoprotecteurs.

Une observation étudiant  pour cause d'infertilité de couple a montré que la cryoconservation avait induit une chute significative de la mobilité et de la vitalité des spermatozoïdes mais aussi une élévation du taux de fragmentation et d'oxydation de l'ADN spermatique. Dans cette étude, ces spermes ont été recueillis par masturbation après un délai de 3 à  d'abstinence. L'analyse des paramètres spermatiques a été réalisée avant la congélation : mobilité, vitalité, numération des spermatozoïdes, morphologie, etc.

Ainsi, afin de connaître la qualité des paillettes conservées pour chaque congélation, une paillette devra être décongelée pour évaluer la qualité du sperme après le processus de congélation/décongélation.

Aspects juridiques en France

Conditions d'accès
Les lois de bioéthique de 2004 et 2011 permettaient aux hommes d'avoir recours à la congélation de sperme uniquement pour des raisons médicales : en cas de fécondation in vitro (pour les couples engagés dans une démarche d'assistance médicale à la procréation), en cas de vasectomie volontaire, ou encore en cas de traitements médicaux et/ou interventions chirurgicales néfastes pour la fertilité.

En effet, les traitements contre certains cancers, notamment les procédures de chimiothérapie et de radiothérapie, sont toxiques pour la fertilité. Ils peuvent altérer la production et/ou la qualité des spermatozoïdes. La congélation de sperme est donc systématiquement proposée par le corps médical aux patients concernés. Certaines interventions chirurgicales au niveau des parties génitales (prostate, col de la vessie, ganglions) peuvent également altérer la fertilité.

La majorité des conservations de spermatozoïdes se font avant le traitement du cancer du testicule, du lymphome malin Hodgkinien ou non Hodgkinien et des tumeurs solides. La congélation de sperme est également utilisée dans le cadre des procédures de don de sperme.

Avec la nouvelle loi de bioéthique promulguée le  et publiée au Journal officiel le , les hommes peuvent désormais autoconserver leurs gamètes, en dehors de toute raison médicale. Cette autoconservation est possible pour les hommes âgés de 29 à  selon le décret paru le .

Devenir des échantillons
Les échantillons de sperme sont conservés dans des établissements de santé, et chaque année, l'établissement contacte les patients afin de savoir ce qu'ils souhaitent faire de leurs échantillons. Un consentement signé est en effet nécessaire et ce, quelle que soit la décision prise par les patients. Ces derniers peuvent continuer la conservation, ou alors faire détruire leurs échantillons. Ils peuvent également les utiliser en vue d'une procédure d'Assistance médicale à la procréation (AMP), en faire don à des couples en attente d'un don de gamètes, ou encore en faire don à la recherche scientifique.

En cas de décès d'un patient, les échantillons sont automatiquement détruits par l'établissement de santé qui les conservait.

Prise en charge et remboursement
Les frais engendrés par le prélèvement des spermatozoïdes sont pris en charge par la Sécurité sociale en France. Toutefois, ce n'est pas le cas des frais de conservation des échantillons, qui sont à la charge des patients.

An Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) militant who attacked a famous nightclub at the heart of Istanbul has reportedly asked to be given a death sentence in his testimony.
Uzbek-origin Abdulkadir Masharipov, who killed 39 people and wounded 65 others, said that "it would be good if he was given capital punishment," daily Sabah reported on Feb. 13.
During his testimony, Masharipov said he was a member of ISIL but had not participated in any attacks by the jihadist organization before the Reina attack.
"I wanted to stage the attack on Christians in order to exact revenge on them for their acts committed all over the world. My aim was to kill Christians. Abu Cihad, who is in Syria, told me to carry out the attack in Taksim, saying 'Christians are gathering in Taksim,'" Masharipov said, adding that he could not stage the attack in Taksim due to strict security measures.
"There were police officers everywhere. I changed my mind. I called Abu Cihad and told him that I can't carry out the attack there. Then I went to scope out Reina. Abu Cihad sent me the address and photos of Reina. I constantly texted him. I didn't see him face-to-face. I went in front of Reina and there were no police officers or security," he said.
"When I was out of bullets, I threw two stun grenades. I put the third one near my face to commit suicide, but I didn't die. I survived, but I entered Reina to die," he said, adding that he did not regret his actions.
"I took vengeance," he said.
At least 39 people, including a police officer, were killed when Masharipov opened fire on New Year's revelers in the nightclub in the Ortaköy neighborhood at about 1:15 a.m. on Jan. 1.
Masharipov was captured in the Esenyurt district of Istanbul late on Jan. 16. He was arrested on Feb. 11.
Meanwhile, it has emerged that Masharipov recorded a "farewell video" before staging the attack. In the video recorded on Dec. 27, 2016, the ISIL militant is seen saying he will stage a suicide attack, daily Habertürk reported on Feb. 12.
According to the footage, Masharipov advises his son to become a suicide bomber like himself. The authorities are attempting to determine whether the video was recorded by the ISIL militant's wife, Zarina Nurullayeva.

Simon Cowell tops list of most influential in reality TV
The Hollywood Reporter has released its third annual list of the most powerful folks in reality TV, and it's no surprise that Simon Cowell ranks number one.
The "American Idol" judge returns to the top spot for the second year in a row thanks to his continuing influence over the genre.
"He tops this list for the second year in a row, not just because he's a singular on-air talent able to captivate an audience in a way that no one has replicated, 10 years into the reality TV era; and not just because he has pulled in what Forbes says was $75 million last year from 'Idol,' producing NBC's 'America's Got Talent' and other deals, making him the highest-paid person on television - but because Cowell represents the best of reality TV," THR says.
The publication selected the Top 50 based on several criteria, including "The indelible mark each person makes on his or her shows as producer, overseeing executive or talent" and "how the individual has sparked a 'water cooler' factor for his or her shows and their ability to create dramatic, comedic and can't-miss TV moments."
Fox is also represented in the number two spot on the list with Mike Darnell, president of alternative entertainment for the network, and "Idol" host Ryan Seacrest comes in at number five.

US cable tells of Israel's 'harsh measures'
Art.20 (1) "Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association."
Leaked documents highlight efforts by army to use use force against peaceful protesters in the West Bank.
04 Sep 2011 16:15 | Al Jazeera
The Israeli army chief is quoted as threatening to be 'more assertive' in dealing with West Bank demonstrations [EPA]
US government officials have been well aware of Israel's harsh methods of dealing with peaceful protests in the occupied Palestinian territory of West Bank for quite some time, according to a recently leaked WikiLeaks diplomatic cable.
A cable from the embassy in Tel Aviv from February 16, 2010, titled "IDF plans harsher methods with West Bank demonstrations", reveals a premeditated effort by the Israeli army to use force against peaceful demonstrators in the West Bank.
In the cable, the US ambassador to Israel noted that government officials considered any rally as grounds for use of military force.
In a meeting held between US officials and Avi Mizrachi, head of Israel's central command, the latter warned the Israeli army will be more assertive in how it deals with West Bank demonstrations and will start sending trucks "with 'dirty water' to break up protests, even if they are not violent".
As the US cable pointed out, "dirty water is a reference to the IDF's chemically treated water that duplicates the effects of skunk spray".
Months before this cable was written, Al Jazeera's Jacky Rowland was in the cross hairs of such an attack when covering a weekly protest in the West Bank.
In the document Amos Gilad, Israel's director of policy and political-military affairs, is quoted as saying: "We don't do Gandhi very well."
Speaking in the context of the WikiLeaks revelations, Al Jazeera's Clayton Swisher said: "Just three weeks ago a bill was raised in the US congress by Senator Patrick Leahy to cut funding of Israeli military units engaged in documented human-rights abuses.
"Clearly, this would fit the bill, although anyone knowledgeable about American politics would tell you it stands very little chance of surviving a vote that would make it become a law."

deadly in your school locker and you suspected a friend of stashing it there?
get any worse, Valerie has suddenly started acting like a girl. The pressure is on.
But Ben has bigger problems and it looks like somebody is out to set him up. Can he find out before it's too late?
High school is a very demanding time in a person's life. It is not easy for anyone. None of the children belonging to any clique have it easy. The nerds will always be teased about being nerds, the jocks will always be accused of being just that, the blond cheerleader will still be stereotyped as being dumb, and the cool kids will still have to do drugs to stay "cool".
Locker Shock is an honest story of Ben Mitchell who is an over-all good guy, a student who wants to do the right thing by going to class on time and hang out with all his friends keeping them all satisfied and make the hockey team so he can be great at something. Well written with a good plot line Locker Shock weaves a story where the protag Ben, has to make some difficult choices regarding his friends, whether his reporting something unusual would mean "betraying"a good friend.
Ben is a well rounded character, with emotions that are palatable. The transition from middle school to high school, when not just a small gesture such as kissing a parent goodbye becomes uncool but also being seen with them for a longer amount of time then necessary does too.
Loyalty is one of the things Ben is big on. He is conflicted by emotions when he discovers the item in his locker and also when he finds out his friend is being abused by her father.
But he keeps it to himself as he doesn't think talking about it with anyone else before talking to his friends will do him any good.
Over the span of 100 pages, Ms. Ripling covers some of the most important issues facing a young adolescent today, peer pressure, and the troubles of transition.
Follow up book is in first edits, titled OLD ENOUGH, about the same group of kids who are now a year older and dealing with diversity (and an earthquake!) affecting their school. Look for OLD ENOUGH in the spring, also from Quake Press.
You should all read Locker Shock by Pam Ripling!
You can order it here from Amazon. Or here from the publisher's website.
Excellent review! I know some people who would be into this type of book.
Great seeing you yesterday, btw!
Wonderful review! I've had the chance to read Locker Shock! and it really is a great book!
Nice review! It sounds pretty good!

Morrowind will not have remastered edition
SEAGM Editor
If you are hoping for one. TOO BAD. The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind is the one of the most sought-after remasters for its series. The game garnered a big hype back in 2002 when it was released. Despite a large number of fans asking for a remaster, Todd Howard himself has confirmed that Morrowind will not be getting a remastered edition.
Bethesda should get a new TES series
Bethesda showcased their upcoming games for their current franchises during E3 2018 last month. Personally, I am looking forward to Fallout:76 and The Elder Scrolls VI. Knowing that Skyrim has been holding onto its series for 7 years, it's about time it gets a sequel. As for multiplayer expectations, those will very likely be crushed since that would defeat the purpose of The Elder Scrolls Online (TESO)'s Morrowind expansion.
Here are some potential reasons why Bethesda isn't too keen on remastering the classic besides the obvious reason being to focus on TESVI. First of all, not everyone knows the older series of TES. Getting the initial batch of players back won't be easy. To put it simply, they know they can't achieve the same numbers that managed back when it was released. Secondly, with Skyrim being the title commonly known as the starting platform for newcomers. They might expect Morrowind to be similar to Skyrim and ends up disappointed if it's not their cup of tea.
Should I replay Morrowind?
Morrowind for me and many fans is considered as a pioneer who set the stage for single player RPG. Definitely give it a shot if you're an RPG fan plus, why not? We're waiting on TESVI anyways. However, don't expect the same level of polish to Dragon's Dogma or The Witcher franchise. That aside, Dragon's Dogma is another great game to try if it was only for the sake of relieving the Skyrim experience.

Maximilian Arndt (* 23. Juli 1987 in Suhl) ist ein ehemaliger deutscher Bobsportler. Seine größten Erfolge waren die Siege bei den Weltmeisterschaften im Viererbob 2013 und 2015.

Werdegang

Maximilian Arndt vom BSR Rennsteig Oberhof begann 2003 mit dem Bobsport. Das Team seiner Anschieber besteht aus René Tiefert, Cliff Denner, Florian Kunze und Fabian Gneupel. Bei der Junioren-Weltmeisterschaft 2007 gewann er im Zweierbob den Titel und im großen Schlitten die Silbermedaille. 2008 konnte er die Silbermedaille im Viererbob wiederholen, verpasste aber im kleinen Schlitten als Viertplatzierter knapp eine weitere Medaille. National gewann er im Zweier 2006 und 2007 die Juniorentitel und wurde 2007 hinter Oliver Harraß Zweiter im Vierer.

Im Dezember 2006 gab Arndt mit Lucas Kuske als Anschieber sein Debüt im Bob-Europacup und wurde in Königssee 12. Im Januar erreichte er in Winterberg mit Anschieber Jens Nohka mit Rang fünf eine erste einstellige Platzierung. In Igls gewann er im November 2007 mit Tiefert im Zweierbob sein erstes Europacuprennen. Im Dezember 2008 konnte er mit Anschieber Denner in Altenberg zum zweiten Mal ein Europacuprennen gewinnen. 2010 wurde Arndt Juniorenweltmeister im Zweierbob und erreichte den dritten Platz im Vierer. Bei seinem Weltcup-Debüt im November 2010 auf der schwierigen Bahn in Whistler schaffte er im Zweierbob mit Anschieber Martin Putze einen guten fünften Platz und fuhr zwei Tage später im Vierer auf den zweiten Rang hinter Olympiasieger Steven Holcomb. Seinen erfolgreichen Bob schoben René Tiefert, Martin Putze und Alexander Rödiger an. Bei den folgenden Rennen in Calgary und Lake Placid erreichte er im Viererbob zwei weitere Podiumsplätze. Bei der Juniorenweltmeisterschaft 2011 gewann er den Titel im Vierer und belegte im Zweier den zweiten Rang.

Im Winter 2011/12 konnte Maximilian Arndt am 8. Januar 2012 in Altenberg im Viererbob sein erstes Weltcuprennen gewinnen. Zwei Wochen später siegte er in St. Moritz mit beiden Bobs. Im Gesamtweltcup belegte er jeweils den zweiten Rang und gewann zudem die Kombinationswertung. Bei der Bob-Weltmeisterschaft 2012 in Lake Placid gewann er mit Anschieber Kevin Kuske die Bronzemedaille im Zweierbob, mit Anschieber Steven Deja die Silbermedaille mit dem deutschen Team sowie mit den Anschiebern Alexander Rödiger, Kevin Kuske und Martin Putze die Silbermedaille im Viererbob. Ein Jahr später gewann er bei der Weltmeisterschaft in St. Moritz im Viererbob mit seiner Crew den Titel. 2012, 2013 und 2016 wurde Arndt zudem Europameister im Viererbob.

Im Juni 2016 erklärte Arndt seinen Rücktritt vom Leistungssport. Er ist Polizeimeister und war Mitglied der Sportfördergruppe der Thüringer Polizei.

Arndt heiratete im Sommer 2018 seine langjährige Freundin Annemarie. Das Paar hat drei gemeinsame Töchter und lebt in Viernau. Inzwischen spielt Maximilian Arndt in der 1. Mannschaft des FSV 04 Viernau Fußball.

Faulkner University's football program is only five years old; however, with Corey Fipps's Air Raid, up-tempo offense, Faulkner has turned into an offensive juggernaut.
In just his third year as the Offensive Coordinator at Faulkner University, Coach Fipps directed his high flying Eagle offense to a record-shattering season. The Eagles led the nation in total offense, averaging 520 yards a game and Faulkner was third in the nation in scoring at 43.5 points per game in 2011.
First, Fipps shares his personnel requirements for each position before taking you through the basics of the offense. Formations for the spread include a 2 x 2, a 3 x 1, and a 2 x 1 with split backs; a 2 x 1 pistol and a 1 x 1 three back attack complete the attack.
Coach Fipps diagrams his inside zone and quick screen combination plays using a power point presentation. After covering the simple run blocking rules and play mechanics, Fipps shows you several cut-ups from game footage coaching you through how the plays are executed versus multiple fronts and coverages. The unique combination of the inside zone tagged with the quick screen on the backside of the play becomes a number count for the quarterback. If the receivers on the backside have the numbers the play turns into a quick screen, if the box contains less than 6 defenders the quarterback runs the inside zone. Fipps also shows you the lethal combination out of a 3 x 1 formation in which a bubble screen is run to the strong side and a fast screen is executed to the one receiver side.
Included in this video is pop pass out of a trips formation that is tagged to the inside zone for another deadly combination. With the pop pass the quarterback reads the inside backer to determine if he throws the pop pass or executes the inside zone. Fipps tells his quarterback, "when in doubt run the zone."
Coach Fipps offers a solution to running the spread with fewer scholarship players and has the statistics to support his success. If you are looking for a way to include spread concepts in your existing offense or make a switch to the spread, Coach Fipps offers an easy to follow plan.
Implementing the spread offense is about more than just the passing game. Coaches must have a strong running attack to keep defenses honest. Faulkner University has grown into a football power in a short time with the help of the Eagle spread offense.
Using a power point presentation, Coach Fipps details his Stretch, Q-Screen, Slow Screen and Fox Package before showing you game cut-ups of each play and describing the nuances that make each play successful.
• The Faulkner Stretch Play is unique because it attacks the defense in three different ways from multiple formations and backfield actions. The action may be different but the same blocking scheme is implemented by the offensive line on all three plays allowing for simplicity and tremendous execution.
• The Q-Screen is a quick hitting screen that gets the ball to the edge in a hurry with the offensive line leading the way.
• The Slow Screen will get the ball to one of your best athletes on the edge where he can showcase his talents.
• The Fox Package is a great compliment to the Q-Screen. You will love to call the "Fox." When the defense gets aggressive, get behind the corners by faking the Q-Screen for an easy score.
Coach Fipps shows his screens from a variety of formations and motions making the screen game difficult to defend by even a championship-caliber team. These plays also help develop confidence in your quarterback by providing easy completions and they can help a struggling offensive line. The screens can become even more effective with the multiple formations and motions that are utilized and covered by Fipps.
This screen package can be installed and extremely effective from the Junior High to college level. Even a novice could find success after watching Coach Fipps present the plays.
Order now and study the nuances on how Coach Fipps has attacked defenses with both the run and screen games in route to becoming the #1 offense in NAIA in 2011.
◦ Quick Out - A high percentage throw when combined with combination tagged routes.
◦ Slants - See how to use slant routes from a 3 x 1 set to maintain momentum in the red zone.
◦ Stick - Flood the curl/flat zone and place defenders in conflict while creating easy reads for your quarterback.
◦ Spot - Create defensive mismatch ups.
◦ Sail - Take advantage of linebackers walling off the inside vertical routes.
◦ Y Cross - Open up the middle of the field with a combination of specific routes.

cliveden.org
Cliveden school room, completed in 1868.
Cliveden introduces itself with the line, "Know it. Feel it. Share it," and gives the following descriptive information:
Cliveden, one of America's most well-preserved historic sites, is located 6 miles from Center City Philadelphia in Historic Germantown. Explore what America is through the stories of Cliveden's people: be they revolutionaries, inhabitants, or enslaved workers; Cliveden's architecture: the 1767 building contains stellar furniture and decorative art and remains one of the nation's best-documented and least-altered colonial houses; and Cliveden's sense of place: located in America's most historic neighborhood, Cliveden benefits from centuries of dedicated preservation efforts. Well-known as the scene of a Revolutionary War battle, Cliveden's story spans four centuries of American history. The men, women, and children connected to this site provoke multiple ways to examine what being an American can mean. A day in the life of Cliveden involves both the War for Independence and the Struggle for Freedom, along with the ongoing preservation and detective work that ensure Cliveden will continue to provide meaning for future generations. Cliveden's house and grounds tell all these stories together—the Battle of Germantown, the world of the Chew family, and struggle for human rights in America— the story of Cliveden is the story of America.
Cliveden's Carriage House, originally built in 1767 and rebuilt after a fire in 1970, now features Emancipating Cliveden, a film showcasing the ongoing process of preserving and interpreting the history of the site. Featuring the talented voices of local celebrities, Chew family descendants, and members of the Germantown community, Emancipating Cliveden reflects how the historic house has become a community institution vital to understanding what freedom really means.
The exhibit Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness? orients visitors to the history of Cliveden. The exhibition highlights the contradictions and conflicts inherent in American history, and relates these issues to life at Cliveden.

New Govt Promises Referendum
The government has announced plans to conduct a referendum to introduce term limits for prime ministers and introduce a system of recall for non-performing Members of Parliament.
The referendum will also address the issue of constituting an Independent Electoral Commission and Boundaries Commission.
The government's plans were uttered during the ceremonial reading of the Speech from the Throne by Governor General Dame Marguerite Pindling during the official Opening of Parliament yesterday.
"My government will ensure that its ministers are held to the highest standards of constitutional and personal conduct. Consequently, my government will enact and enforce anti-corruption legislation for all parliamentarians and public officers," Dame Marguerite said.
"My government will, with the consent of the electorate in a referendum, constitute an Independent Electoral Commission and Boundaries Commission, introduce term limits for prime Ministers and introduce a system of recall for non-performing Members of Parliament. The Office of Ombudsman will be created to provide a direct source of relief, where people have legitimate grievances due to the actions or inactions of government or any agency of the government."
The first prime minister of The Bahamas Sir Lynden Pindling held his post for 25 years, equating to five consecutive terms in office between1973 to 1992.
The government also has plans for the country's number one industry, tourism.
The governor general said the government plans to aggressively pursue additional airlift, place priority on bringing excitement to the downtown area, establish a signature tourism identity for Grand Bahama and give consideration to the ownership of taxi license plates to those who have been leasing for a number of years.
"My government recognizes the value of tourism to the economy, while being keenly aware of the fierceness of the competition in the global and regional tourism marketplace. My government will collaborate with all the major tourism industry stakeholders to enhance the tourism product onshore, to develop throughout our islands," Dame Marguerite said.
"My government's primary goal in communications, sales and airlift strategies will be on ensuring a return on investment in all that we do. My government will work aggressively towards expanding our digital footprint by using data driven metrics towards all efforts,"
"My government will give greater priority to initiatives to enliven and bring excitement to downtown Nassau. My government will execute plans for the continued refurbishment of Festival Place."
Meanwhile, the previous administration had made similar commitments in its Speech from the Throne in 2012.
In regards to the crime dilemma, the Minnis administration said as it realizes the importance of a safe environment it will be committed to changing the culture of violence.
"Our steadfast resolve is to target the root causes of crime and implement modern crime fighting strategies. My government is committed to collaborating and working with community partners, parents, educators, church leaders, youth leaders, social workers, and all relevant agencies of the government. Through neighbourhood safety programs and community-based partners the culture of violence in our communities will change. My government continues to be committed to zero tolerance for crime, inclusive of minor infractions," Dame Marguerite said.
"Our most urgent priorities in crime fighting are initiatives that focus on prevention, deterrence, and enforcement. My government will enact legislation to establish the National Intelligence Agency (NIA). My government will enact legislation to address the conditional release of offenders into society through a Parole and Probation of Offenders system.
"My government will enact legislation to establish a Guns and Gang Unit that will focus on dismantling gangs and disrupting the trafficking in illicit firearms."

Tan Sri Lakshmanan Krishnan
Pioneer filmmaker Tan Sri Lakshmanan Krishnan, widely regarded as the father of the Malay film industry, is a prolific director who is recognised for his instrumental role in developing early acting talents including Malaysian film icon, the late Tan Sri P Ramlee, and laying the foundation for the modern film industry in the country.
Tan Sri L Krishnan was born in Madras, India, in 1922, but was raised in Penang and attended the Bukit Mertajam High School where he obtained his Senior Cambridge in 1941.
During the Japanese Occupation of Malaya, he was briefly employed as a translator. In 1946, he was sent back to Madras by the British army and a year later, he found work as an assistant film director at Kalairani Film in Madras. In 1949, Tan Sri L Krishnan moved to Singapore where he became a film director at the Shaw Studios.
Tan Sri L Krishnan first met the late Tan Sri P Ramlee in 1941 in Singapore. P Ramlee's phenomenal success at Shaw Brother's Jalan Ampas studios in Singapore, was the apparent result of the studio's incredible milieu of experienced film crew, choreographers and directors which the Shaw Brothers had assembled from India, Hong Kong and Indonesia, and chief among them was Tan Sri L Krishnan.
In his long-established vocation as a film maker and cultural advocate, Tan Sri L Krishnan has directed more than 30 films and worked with Malaysian movie luminaries such as Datuk Maria Menado, the late Kasma Booty and the late Datuk Mustapha Maarof.
Among his directed films starring P Ramlee are Bakti (1950), Takdir Ilahi (1950), Penghidupan (1951), and Antara Senyum dan Tangis (1952).
Tan Sri L Krishnan's cinematography talents in Shaw Brothers, Cathay Keris Studio and Studio Merdeka are widely recognised with him receiving the Anugerah P Ramlee in the 12th Malaysia Festival in 1995 and Galeri Sinema Melayu Award (Pioneer in the Malay Film Industry) in 1996.
He began his work in film in 1949 when he was in Singapore and took up the appointment of Film Director at Shaw Studios. In 1960, he came to Kuala Lumpur to work for the late Mr Ho Ah Loke at Merdeka Studio. In between these years, he directed many films that captured the early romanticism and idealism of Malaysia and its people.
His first film was Bakti, the movie that launched P Ramlee as a romantic hero of the silver screen. Kasma Booty was the heroine, Siput Sarawak the femme fatale and Roomai Noor the villain. "The plot was borrowed from Wuthering Heights and Les Misérables but scripted on the well-tested formula of song-dance-and-drama, and the local audience loved it," he says.
Tan Sri L Krishnan also broke new ground in film in the early days when he ventured into the genre of horror films through 'Orang Lichin' (1957); 'Orang Minyak' (1958); and 'Serangan Orang Minyak' (1959) - some of the first such movies in Malaysia and Singapore.
Regarded as a trendsetter, the long-standing impact of the films by Tan Sri L Krishnan through the Merdeka Studio carved the path for FINAS, or the National Film Development Corporation of Malaysia, to be the beacon of the Malay film industry in Malaysia. FINAS has retained the original Merdeka Studio complex and built its administrative centre around the site which bears a tribute to Tan Sri L Krishnan's contribution in giving rise to an ethnic, home-spun film industry.
As a director, apart from P Ramlee, Tan Sri L Krishnan was also responsible for launching the film careers of Datuk Maria Menado, Roomai Noor, Mustapha Maarof, Abdullah Chik, M Amin, Nordin Ahmad, Wahid Satay, Hussein Hassan, Omar Rojik, and Muhammad Jun, all of whom have become household names and venerated for their contribution to Malaysian film.
In 1970, Tan Sri L Krishnan formed Gaya Filem Berhad. He convinced the Government of the need for protective tariffs in favour of Malaysian produced films. The slap down of the 50 percent surcharge and subsequently a complete ban on all foreign-produced commercials, boosted the commercial film industry in Malaysia. Gaya Filem Berhad became a truly local and fully integrated production house that specialised in TV commercials and jingles.
In 1980, Tan Sri L Krishnan once again made headlines when he established the first 16-track Gaya Music Studio to enhance the music industry which was fast becoming popular in the country.
Two years later, Tan Sri L Krishnan once again led the pack by establishing the first motion picture Colour Laboratory and was invited by Datuk Harris Salleh, then Chief Minister of Sabah, to be the Chairman of Borneo Film Organisation Sabah, and subsequently in 1984 he was made Chairman of Cathay Organisation Malaysia.
Apart from his many film accolades, Tan Sri L Krishnan is well-known as a philanthropist who has provided service to the community through several organisations including the Rotary Club of Kuala Lumpur (Past President); Discharged Prisoners Aid Society; Malaysian Association for the Blind; Medic Alert Foundation of Malaysia; Netaji Welfare Foundation; Persatuan Kebajikan NASARRE; Chinese Maternity Hospital; and the Tun Hussein Onn National Eye Hospital. On a personal level, for 33 years (1979 – 2012 during the Deepavali celebrations, Tan Sri L Krishnan brought joy and had played host to about 1000 underprivileged members of society including special children.
For his outstanding contribution for developing the Malaysian film industry, Tan Sri L Krishnan was honoured with many other awards including the Setia Mahkota Selangor (1976); Dato' Seri Nilam DiRaja (1978); Kesatri Mangku Negara (1990); Panglima Jasa Negara (2003); Panglima Setia Mahkota (2011); Associated of Accredited Advertising Agent Annual Award (pioneer in the Advertising Industry (1986); Malaysian Video Award (MVA Millennium Award for contribution made to the Advertising Industry) (1999); Rotary International Service Above Self Award for exemplary Service in Rotary(1999); International Tamil Film Awards (2003) - Lifetime Achievement Award (2003); 50th Asia-Pacific Film Festival (2005); Seniman-Lifetime Achievement Award (2006); Anugerah Seri Temasek (2011); Anugerah Tokoh Perfileman Malaysia (2013); 1Malaysian of the Year – National Press Club Malaysia (2014); and South India Cinematography Award (2015).
In 2013, Tan Sri L Krishnan received the Gandhi Memorial Trust award for public service and "will be remembered as the man who discovered the talent and groomed the late legendary Tan Sri P Ramlee to stardom."
Over six decades, Tan Sri L Krishnan has made immense contributions in film, advertising and music. At the age of 94, Tan Sri still pursues a healthy schedule and has not lost his sense of humour, passion and charm.
Today, together with his wife Puan Sri Rukmanee, Tan Sri L Krishnan continues to touch lives with his philanthropy and charity work in Thailand and in Malaysia.
Tan Sri L Krishnan's pioneering and innovative work in nurturing the Malaysian film industry personifies the creative, adventurous and indomitable Spirit of Merdeka.

Stan's Obligatory Blog
Around the Fairplex
— stan @ 4:41 pm
Today's bike club ride was a longer one out to La Verne, making a loop around the Los Angeles County Fairgrounds. The fair's coming up this fall, and I need to decide which recipes I'm going to enter this year.
On the way out, we saw a car club on their way somewhere. That was kind of novel. We also saw what looks like a large new ride at the fairgrounds. Aside from that, there was no particular sightseeing in store for today. Just a pleasant ride with not too many hills.
55 miles.
Evening Electric
Life in L.A.
— stan @ 10:27 pm
On Saturday night, Kathleen and I went over to Glendale for Evening Electric, which was a small party put on by the Museum of Neon Art in their new home on Brand Blvd. This was just a preview, and the museum won't be opening there for real until next year, but it was a chance to see the space with a few pieces of their collection in it. They also had drinks, food, and a silent auction to benefit the museum.
And yes, it's still my favorite art museum.
We had a nice time there. The food was good, and there was an open bar, complete with an animated electric sign. They said that the sign really used to say "BAR-B-Q", but they just left off the last part of it for tonight. The cake was a rather alarming shade of red, but everyone said it tasted good. They had a guy playing a singing saw, which was interesting. Sort of like an acoustic version of a theremin.
In the end, I bid on only one item in the silent auction, but I got to bring it home. It's a small plasma dome, and it's entertaining to watch with the lights off. And it's for a good cause, since it helps raise money to support the museum.
It was an entertaining evening.
What is it they say about a bowl of cherries?
On Saturday morning, Lucinda and I went to Leona Valley with Kathleen and her daughters to all go picking cherries. I'd never been there before, but I looked it up on the map, and Leona Valley is a long, straight valley west of Palmdale, and the San Andreas Fault runs right down the middle of it. So I was curious to see how obvious the fault would be on the ground there.
We all met up in Newhall and then we all went the rest of the way in my car, since it's big enough for five. When we got there, we had a look a the cherry orchards that were open and picked on to go in. We got our buckets and went to it.
They said that they had a small crop this year, due to a hard freeze late last winter, but there were lots of cherries on the trees, and we quickly filled the buckets. In the end, we had something like 12 pounds of cherries, and they were very good.
After that, we found a shady spot and had a little picnic before heading home.
It was a fun little morning adventure. And I even found a new hot-rod mailbox:
More Disneyland
Today was the after-the-last-day-of-school trip to Disneyland. But Lucinda's friends who have Disneyland passes couldn't come. I told Lucinda that I'd made the arrangements, and Kathleen and I were going anyway, regardless of whether she wanted to go or not. So she stayed home and we went and had a nice day at the Magic Kingdom.
When we got there, we headed straight for the newly-reopened Star Tours, only to find that everyone else had had the same idea. This wasn't really a surprise, but I'd hoped that the line might be not more than an hour. But it was too long. So we walked over and got some Fast Passes for Space Mountain for later in the day. Getting passes for that ride is like buying savings bonds. You have wait a long time for them to mature. In the meantime, we rode Big Thunder Mountain twice, California Screamin' four times, had lunch, and rode the new Little Mermaid ride. By then, our passes for Space Mountain were ripe and ready, so we walked over there and went in.
We got all the way down to the last ramp when something happened and they shut the ride down. They turned on the lights, which was kind of weird. And they brought all the trains down. Apparently they have something like eight or nine trains running at a time in there. After a few minutes, they reset whatever had gone wrong, and they started it up again. So we finally got our ride on it.
We finished off the day at the Jungle Cruise and Pirates of the Caribbean. Both old favorites. I thought it was funny that the ducks on the jungle cruise know that the alligator isn't real, even a lot of small children don't realize that.
All told, it was a fun day.
In the L.A. Times…
— stan @ 9:03 am
I saw this review in Tuesday's times:
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/culturemonster/2011/06/opera-review-san-francisco-opera-presents-a-new-ring-cycle.html
I'm not particularly fond of opera, but I wanted to put in a plug for a very funny documentary we saw recently:
Sing Faster: The Stagehands' Ring Cycle
This follows the preparations for putting on Wagner's Ring operas, as seen from the set builders, stage hands, and other backstage people. They spend countless hours building the sets, making the dragon work, and lusting after the Rhinemaidens. And while the opera is going on, between scene changes, they sit in their waiting room, playing cards, watching baseball, and talking about how they wish the people upstairs would just sing a little faster so they could be done and go home. It's pretty funny, and a look into an aspect of theater that we don't normally think about.
Another trip to San Diego
This past weekend, Kathleen, Lucinda and I went to San Diego to visit my father, see the seals, and also visit the zoo.
We drove down there on Saturday morning. We had lunch with Grandpa, and then we went to La Jolla to see the seals. Sadly, there were few seals to be seen. The anti-seal people were asserting their 'right' to use the beach, and they scared most of the seals away. There were a couple swimming around just offshore, but most of them were camped out on a rock some distance out.
This was a big disappointment. Every time we go to San Diego, we make a point to go see the seals, and we're there to see seals. We can look at people at any one of the many beaches in San Diego, but there's only one where we can see seals.
After that minor fiasco, we went back and took Grandpa to Prado in Balboa Park for dinner. We go a bottle of The Pessimist wine with dinner. I kind of expected the bottle to be half-empty. As always, the food was great. We had a nice time there.
On Sunday morning, we went back to La Jolla. The seals usually come ashore by sunset, since the people leave then, and they're usually still on the beach in the morning. But not today. There were already people on the beach, and the seals were scared away again. We saw some of them in the water, and a lot were on the same rock offshore, but there were none on the beach.
We took a walk and saw some sea lions on the rocks just a little bit north of the seal beach. We also visited Sunny Jim Cave. We've been there several times now, and they guy who runs the cave store remembered us.
After that, we went back to visit Grandpa again. My aunt and uncle had come to visit for the day, so we all went to lunch at Costa Brava in Pacific Beach.
On Sunday afternoon, Kathleen, Lucinda and I went to the San Diego Zoo. This was my first time there since 1987, and Lucinda was interested in seeing the giant pandas. We had a nice time there.
The pictures of the seals and sea lions at La Jolla Cove, as well as the zoo pictures, are all here:
Lucinda's pictures are here.
Klaatu barada nikto!
Today's bike ride was an odd one. It was kind of chilly and sort of drizzling at 8:00, and nobody else showed up for the ride. So I went ahead and ride the route myself, and I used the opportunity to test out a new variation. The original destination for the route was Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills to see Lock Martin. He played Gort in the 1951 film, "The Day the Earth Stood Still". The variation was a test of another route I've been thinking about. Last week, the Los Angeles Times had a feature on "The Ten Best Houses in L.A.". When I was looking at this, I realized that we could go see five of them on a single bike ride. So I thought that today would be a good time to try it out.
The first house was the Gamble House in Pasadena. We ride past it all the time, and we usually don't pay any attention to it. But it's really quite nice. From there, I rode the regular route through Eagle Rock to get to Los Feliz. Then I headed up the big hill to the Ennis House. This and the Hollyhock House are two that we've visited before on the "Five Wrights" tour. And even though it's not on the ten-best list, the witch's house down the street from the Ennis House was also nice.
After stopping off in Barnsdall Park to see the Hollyhock House, I headed across Hollywood. They had Hollywood Blvd closed off at Highland. I guess maybe there's some awards show tonight.
Heading into West Hollywood, I passed Gardner Elementary School and its Michael Jackson Auditorium. Then I made my way west to Kings Rd and the Schindler House. That was the fourth of the five, and the one farthest away.
From there, I headed back to Hollywood. I took a little detour to go through the staging area for the Gay Pride Parade, since that's always an amusing time. Then I turned and headed up Nicholls Canyon. About this time, it started raining again. That wasn't much fun. But I made it to the top and then headed east on Mulholland. At Torreyson Dr, I turned and went up the hill a bit to see the Chemosphere. It's visible from the street just a little bit beyond its driveway.
Coming down Mulholland, I headed down into Burbank and then turned into Forest Lawn. It took some looking to find the number markers, but I finally located Lock Martin's grave. This concluded the sightseeing portion of the ride, and it was time to go home. The ride home was pretty routine. By now I was pretty tired and hungry, so I was looking forward to getting home.
When it's damp like today, my bike computer craps out, so I didn't get the exact mileage. But putting the route into Google Maps give the total as about 53 miles.
Tonight was the monthly Art Walk in downtown Los Angeles. We'd gone to this back in April, and it was a fun time. Lucinda and I went downtown and met up with Kathleen there. We made the rounds of the galleries and the food trucks. We got ice cream from the Lake Street Creamery, which was good, as always. We found the Grilled Cheese Truck, but sadly, the line for it was too long. I suppose that's a recommendation. The Lobsta Truck also had a really long line.
We started out the evening at the Museum of Neon Art, since this is their last week downtown before they move to their new home in Glendale. From there, we just sort of randomly wandered around, looking in the galleries. There was lots of nice art, some old signs, and lots of neon. One of the galleries was in the old Los Angeles Stock Exchange, which was a very ornate and interesting building. There were even swastikas decorating one of the very old bank buildings on Spring Street.
All told, it was a fun evening.
I signed up for the Sears Willis Tower stair climb today. 103 stories. How hard could it be?
Art on a Thursday night
On Thursday night, Kathleen and I met up downtown to go to a little art gallery party at Art Share in downtown Los Angeles. This is a small community art center in an old warehouse and the gallery was showing art by five artists who have been active in the downtown art scene for many years. It was a small show, but fun. There was even some minor excitement when Malia K showed up with her entourage. We have no idea who she is, but everyone seemed to think she was some sort of Big Deal.
In the end, I bought a print of Mirpolsky's "Sharks" for my house.
All in all, it was a fun evening adventure.

Bike racing memories


I took advantage of the warm weather today and hit the road for the first time. I did a route that was recommended to me by a cyclist friend which is almost 22 km long. According to my cycling computer, I averaged 27.5 km/h and had a max speed of 57.4 km/h (cycling downhill with the wind is awesome!) which seemed pretty good for a first ride. Hopefully we'll continue to have more nice weather so I'll be able to ride more often.
I wasn't idle before that, however -- I've put somewhere between 150 - 200 km on my trainer over the last few weeks. It's not nearly as much fun as riding on the road, though.
