For Americans, the mere mention of "Four score and seven years ago…" brings to mind President Lincoln giving the address he delivered at Gettysburg 149 years ago on November 19, 1863.
But what else do we know about the occasion?
Just as Steven Spielberg used his just-released film to explore Lincoln's effort to abolish slavery, each facet of Lincoln's presidency could be better understood by examining the surrounding details.
The Soldiers' National Cemetery at Gettysburg was the first federal cemetery ever to be established–pre-dating the Arlington National Cemetery by several years. The need for the cemetery at Gettysburg, of course, was because of the astoundingly high number of dead from the three-day battle that took place July 1-3, 1863. Casualties at Gettysburg totaled 23,049 for the Union (3,155 dead, 14,529 wounded, 5,365 missing or unaccounted for). Confederate casualties were 28,063 (3,903 dead, 18,735 injured, and 5,425 missing or unaccounted for).
When President Lincoln accepted an invitation to provide a "few dedicatory remarks" at Gettysburg, he clearly very much wanted to come.
According to Guelzo who has authored several books on Lincoln including Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation and a forthcoming book, Gettysburg: The Last Invasion (Knopf, 2013), Lincoln had been mulling over when and how he could present to the American people a statement on the larger significance of the conflict and to explain why the enormous sacrifices were necessary.
Lincoln saw Gettysburg as the perfect opportunity for his statement. The 272 words he ultimately presented as the Gettysburg Address had been percolating in his mind for some time.
The morning of his departure, however, Lincoln had to reaffirm his commitment to attend. Son Tad, age 10, had awakened and was too ill to eat breakfast. Since an older son, Willie, had died just over a year ago, this greatly upset wife Mary, and she begged Lincoln not to leave her. The President, however, was fully committed to seize what he saw as an important opportunity to speak to Americans.
Though Lincoln's words are the only ones that live on, Edward Everett, a well-regarded orator of the day, was to be the main speaker for the dedication of the cemetery. Everett had served as Massachusetts governor (1836-40) and U.S. senator (1853-54) and as president of Harvard University (1846-49), and he enjoyed a great reputation as an orator, and would have drawn a good crowd even if the President was not expected to appear.
When members of the president's staff realized Lincoln intended to go to Gettysburg, they arranged a special train for him that would leave at 6 a.m. on November 19 for the 12 noon speech.
Lincoln, however, was fully aware of the realities of traveling during war time. The fact that at least ten thousand people were expected to descend upon Gettysburg for the event only added to what would surely be a day of delays.
Plans were re-formulated for a day-before departure. Accompanying Lincoln were several members of his cabinet including Secretary of State William H. Seward, Secretary of the Interior John Usher, and postmaster general Montgomery Blair along with some members of the diplomatic corps. In addition, Benjamin B. French, who had composed the hymn that was to be sung at the ceremony came with the group, as did Lincoln's secretaries, John G. Nicolay and John Hay as well as Ward Hill Lamon, Lincoln's friend and the U.S. Marshal for the District of Columbia. Lincoln's valet, William Johnson, a free black man, also was part of the traveling party.
plan of a morning departure, he likely never would have given the Gettysburg Address.
At the dedication, the crowd listened for two hours to Edward Everett before President Lincoln spoke. Everett was known for carefully crafting his remarks, and he researched the three-day battle in order to be explain it to his listeners; he was famous for being able to re-create the emotion of the experience, and it was reported that those who were close enough to the podium to actually hear the speech were moved to tears.
While the speech Everett gave is remembered for its length–he spoke for more than two hours—this was the speaking style of the day. Everett would have been expected to give that type and length of an address.
Lincoln's address lasted just two or three minutes.
There is no photograph of Lincoln giving the Gettysburg Address. Photographers assumed that he would speak for at least ten minutes, and because photographs of the day required time for the exposure to be complete, the photographers did not have the opportunity to capture the moment.
Afterward, Lincoln was not certain that the speech had been successful, saying to his friend Ward Lamon, "that speech won't scour!" [wasn't effective].
Lincoln's humility was part of his personality, but his opinion may also have been colored by how he was feeling. He left Gettysburg that afternoon, and by the time he arrived in Washington he was suffering a fever. His doctor diagnosed him with varioloid, a mild version of smallpox. He spent the next three weeks, quarantined at the White House, but he did recover.
Lincoln's well-loved valet William Johnson (1835-1864) was not so fortunate. He, too, became ill from the disease and died after lingering for two months. Lincoln paid out of his own pocket for Johnson's burial costs.
To walk in Lincoln's footstep in Gettysburg–from the David Wills house where Lincoln spent the night, to the Soldier's Cemetery where he gave the address–is now possible through Gettysburg Town Tours (American Stories Historic Walking Tours). The same high level of mastery of history that is required of the battlefield guides is also required of the town guides, who are prepared to talk of Lincoln's visit as well as all of the issues that affected the citizens who were inadvertently in harm's way when the town was overrun by the Battle of Gettysburg.
The Gettysburg Tours are part of the Journey Through Hallowed Ground Partnership, which helps raise awareness of the historic, natural, and cultural landscape within the swath of land from Gettysburg to Monticello.

Former top DOD officials skewer Congress over sequestration
By Amber Corrin
Many in Washington are confident that Congress will reach an eleventh-hour agreement that will avert the universally maligned sequestration process. The former defense secretary and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff aren't among them.
Speaking Sept. 17 at the Center for International and Strategic Studies, Robert Gates and Adm. Mike Mullen, respectively, took aim at Congress for its shortcomings, which they said has led the U.S. to the precipice of a "fiscal cliff." Blaming members for forgoing the greater good in favor of partisanship, the former top DOD brass warned of the dangers posed by the looming $1.2 trillion in across-the-board federal budget cuts – in addition to the burgeoning U.S. debt.
"A nation with our current levels of unsustainable debt, being this far out of fiscal balance, cannot hope to sustain for very long its superiority – from a military perspective or its influence in world affairs," Mullen said. Facing "abundant disorder in our fiscal house, brought upon us by ourselves, by our own doing," Mullen pointed out that baby boomers, including Vietnam veterans, have left the country in worse shape than it was received.
"This is a legacy for which we should all hang our heads," he said.
Mullen stopped short of saying he expects sequestration to happen, but he was not optimistic.
"I'm not as hopeful as others that we won't drive off this cliff. I'm worried sick about it, quite frankly," he said.
And while the former Joint Chiefs chairman said he wasn't there to point fingers – "I don't have enough fingers" – Gates set his crosshairs firmly on Capitol Hill. He outlined what he believes are the root causes for Capitol Hill's current state of dysfunction: gerrymandering, partisan ideological zeal, declining congressional power brokers and a 24/7 digital media spin cycle that has led to a "dumbing-down of the national political dialog."
"American politics has always been a shrill and ugly business, going back to the founding fathers. As the result of several polarizing trends, we have lost the ability to execute even the most basic functions of government, much less solve the most difficult, divisive problems facing this country," Gates said. "Too many of our politicians seem more concerned with winning elections and scoring ideological points than with saving the country."
Gates touched on his own cuts he instituted when in control at the Pentagon – nearly $80 billion in cuts he requested in his defense budget as he was stepping down in July 2011. By the time he retired, nearly $900 billion had been cut from defense spending over the next 10 years on paper – before sequestration was considered, he said.
The grim figures are compounded by history, Gates pointed out.
"The history of past defense drawdowns is not encouraging…we almost never get it right. If the history of the past century teaches us anything, it is that cutting defense too quickly, too deeply will lead ultimately to higher costs in blood and treasure later," he said. "When push comes to shove, when the future of our country is at stake, ideological zeal and short-term political calculations must yield to patriotism and the long-term national interests."

Hustings events are, for many political hopefuls, a necessary evil in the quest for election or re-election. For most of those hopefuls, there is hardly any point in their turning up, so slim are the chances of swaying the audience sufficiently to get themselves returned to Parliament. For others, there is the constant peril of one of those pesky voters tripping them up on the journey to that all too minor fame and fortune.
The encounters with those pesky voters can occur even in the safest seats. And if an opponent scents a weakness, events can get more than a little tasty. One place where matters got tasty last night was in the constituency of Dominic "cash flow problem" Raab, who claims to be the Foreign Secretary, such is the paucity of talent available to alleged Prime Minister Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson.
Donald, where's yer hairspray?
Raab represents Esher and Walton. His majority in 2017 was over 23,000. The seat is in the ultra-safe category. But that does not guarantee that hustings events will be an easy thing to do, and so it proved at East Molesey last night, when the family of Harry Dunn, killed in a road accident involving Anne Sacoolas, a US citizen who claimed diplomatic immunity she may not have merited, before being allowed to return to the States.
The hustings event was open to the public. Tim Dunn and Charlotte Charles presented themselves at the door, and were refused entry. That the event was standing room only appeared to be the problem: one of those already in the hall volunteered to leave, so Harry Dunn's parents could come in. But despite it being open to the public, they were refused entry. So others in the hall spoke up for them.
One of those offering to leave told "We have offered to leave to allow Harry Dunn's parents into the hustings but security has refused … CONFIRMED: It is [Dominic Raab]'s security that will not allow Harry Dunn's family into the hustings. Nobody coming in even in exchange for volunteers coming out. Why is [Dominic Raab]'s security controlling hustings attendance at a 4-party hustings event?". Why indeed?
Lewis Goodall of Sky News appeared to confirm that view. "No room in the church for the hustings event. Dozens still outside. Changing: 'LET US IN!', including the family of Harry Dunn who want to speak to Dominic Raab … Someone has left to allow Harry Dunn's father into the event but apparently security aren't allowing him in".
The Guardian has now reported that "Raab was heckled during his final address at a hustings in East Molesey, Surrey, on Monday evening, with one woman standing up to ask him about Dunn, whose family and friends were kept outside for the duration of the event due to purported concerns about overcrowding. Raab was later confronted by Tim Dunn, Harry's father, and friends of the late 19-year-old as he left the building and was ushered into his official car". He appeared to ignore protesters as he was driven away.
Raab's excuse will no doubt be security concerns; he is, after all, a senior Government minister. But the impression given to Harry Dunn's parents and friends, and all others of a non-partisan nature, is of a politician aloof and uncaring in a family's moment of grief.
Sadly for the protesters, Raab need not worry about being re-elected. Not a good look.
Labels: Politics, USA
The most terrifying thought is that if Johnson loses his seat in Uxbridge, Raab could well become the new PM.
Dominic Raab is a senior Government Minister? I don't think so. He's just a candidate now. Why does he even have an "official" car ?
Standard cold indifferent greedy tory behaviour.
He's still a Minister, an advisor to HRH, no less. We have no MPs but we still have Ministers.


Before I go for Otakon, I figured I'd leave with one last "Tubin'" with a TransFormers theme. The other day, I was looking for this post I'd made on LiveJournal to show someone, and I thought I had posted it here on PMO, but no sign of it at all leads me to believe that I was mistaken, and so here are damn near every Japanese TransFormers opening, from the beginning of season 1 all the way through the recently-received Beast Wars Returns, and a few extra bits thrown in for good measure.
Season 2, I can no longer find, sadly.
Season 6: Victory, and its closing credits.
OVA: Zone(the one where that footage of Predaking being sliced in two with a brain in the middle comes from, and I think that the bit with Devastator destroying the WTC pre-9/11 might have been related, too.
Micron Legend(2), the one I prefer personally.
Beast Wars Returns, their version of Beast Machines. Or at least a teaser for it?
Added fun: Unicron's Armada/ML transformation, set to his theme from the movie.
The destruction of the planet Cybertron(Seibertron in Japan).
Various footage to the Car Robots theme.
An Anime Music Video (AMV) starring Energon Optimus with Omega Supreme and Galvatron, included mostly for the nice handdrawn robots that Energon did on rare occassion.
Also full of Smoov talk is Shockwave's Burden, SOS Wheeljack, and Heavy Metal Fight.

The Rawalpindi Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) on Saturday issued contempt of court notice to FIA Director General Malik Iqbal for separating the investigation officer from the probe into Benazir Bhutto's assassination. During the in-camera hearing conducted at Adiala Jail, ATC No 3 Judge Rana Nisar Ahmed Khan expressed displeasure over the transfer of Deputy Director Khalid Rasool, the investigation officer in the Benazir murder case.
The court also summoned FIA DG Malik Iqbal on the next hearing scheduled on May 30. During Saturday's hearing, the court asked why the investigation officer had been changed at a time when he was about to submit the compliance report on the arrest warrant of former president Pervez Musharraf.


Good morning Palestine! What a beautiful day it is today. The sun is shining, the temperature is around the seasonal average and winds are moderate and northwesterly. The seas bordering Palestine are calm.
It's a great day people. And I'm your DJ to make sure you have the best day ever. If you just woke up then grab some coffee and enjoy the show on Radio Palestine. That is, if you still have a stove to make coffee on and if you still have a home that you can wake up in. But, hey, as long as the Israelis are happy, no problem.
If you now live in a tent as a re-refugee in a refugee camp, I welcome you to my program. Look at the bright side. It's almost summer so you won't get frostbite. Think of the whole affair as camping out. Some of you have no doubt experienced living in tents before, like when you were displaced in 1948. Others of you might have been displaced in 1967 and some of you have been displaced several times more. But you can forget all your troubles while listening to my show.
I remember doing a similar show during the Nam war. But you see, things were different then. What the North Vietnamese were afraid of was that the South Vietnamese would not convert to Communism. Then you know what happened after the Americans lost a lot of their servicemen, they just took off and ran, leaving the Northerners to slaughter those of the Southerners they felt deserved to die. Now things are different. Let me tell you this, Communism is nothing compared to the reincarnation of Evil, Sharon. He's not out to convert us native Palestinians to Zionism my friends, he is simply out to exterminate us.
Remember those good ol' Americans? They chickened out of Nam but we can see their weapons everywhere, like, killing us and we can feel their presence making sure that the Israelis do a good job getting rid of us. The funny thing is, every time those Israeli bulldozers move in and demolish more homes and uproot more trees, Sharon claims such actions are "anti-terrorist." Can you beat that? There must be a new definition to terrorism that we have not yet heard of. Why, in Khan Yunis refugee camp, 400 people were left homeless because of such anti-terrorist actions. There is now a refugee camp within a refugee camp. The first ever in the Middle East. We might even get in the "Guinness World Book Records" for such feats.
And when some of the occupants of Khan Yunis camp tried to see what was happening to the houses of relatives and friends, they were shot down in cold blood by the Israelis. Everyone knows that onlookers are terrorists and that bulldozers and tanks and Israelis aiming to kill are harmless.
Fierce gun battles broke out in the Gaza Strip after Israeli tanks entered Palestinian controlled territory. Good morning Gaza! How are you faring after Israeli army bulldozers backed by 3 tanks demolished a Palestinian military intelligence headquarters and 15 Palestinian houses? How can anyone be expected to be feeling after 35 Palestinians were wounded, including a 16-year-old boy whose leg was blown off by a tank shell? No Israeli casualties were reported of course.
Six other Palestinians were injured in the Kalandia refugee camp in the West Bank as Palestinian protesters clashed with Israeli troops who responded with live and rubber bullets and tear gas too. Good morning Kalandia! I hope all is well with you this bright sunny morning.
Israeli forces entered the Rafah area and demolished several houses which Raanan Gissin, spokesman for Evil Reincarnated and Evil Incorporated, claims were used as hiding places for gunmen firing at Israeli troops. Residents of the Rafah camp threw stones at tanks before the Palestinian police arrived to confront the Israelis. Of course we all know how disappointed the Israelis must have been that they didn't have the chance to shoot more of your children. But, hey, you'll laugh when you hear what Gissin said. He stated that when little kids throw stones at heavily armed Israeli soldiers, they pose a threat to the security of Israel.
Good morning Rafah. Good morning to those of you who lived through the ground assault, the demolition of your houses and the shells, missiles and machinegun fire.
Have you ever noticed that the bullets that Israelis kill us with are made in the USA? Talk about complicity. Talk about justice. Talk about the US Congressmen being mad at us because we don't just let the Israelis kill us without making a fuss about it all.
Mr. Evil Reincarnated made a recent statement that peace talks would not resume until calm is restored completely. People, you gotta be calm! Don't be violent. Remember you are violent when you sit quietly in your homes or when your children play in the streets or when you refuse to let the Israelis shoot you point blank.
Mr. Evil has set 3 national goals for the people of Israel: One, to bring in a million Jews in the next 12 years, two, to develop the Negev and three to revitalize Zionist values in education. Peace is no longer a word in his limited vocabulary. What he does best anyway is slaughter Palestinians.
If we cease our "hostile acts" then Evil himself will offer us 42% of what is left of our occupied territories. The settlements will of course remain on what is left of our land. Naturally, this will be for the purposes of "security" and to contain us natives.
Good morning Palestine. I hope you are enjoying my show. It's great to be alive, isn't it? Enough small talk here on my part. Let's get the music rolling. The first song I'm going to play is, "It's Gonna Be Me." I think this is very appropriate since it's gonna be us who keep dying while the Israelis and Americans point their fingers at us accusing us of terrorism while the real terrorists are plowing us under the ground.
The Last Round: Who cares?

Uber James Dean. Xander managed to pull it off as if he was looking at nothing, just having deep thoughts about the far away adventures he would be having if he wasn't stuck waiting for a flowered suitcase at Hopkins International.

"I look up at the sky, wondering if I'll catch a glimpse of kindness there, but I don't. All I see are indifferent summer clouds drifting over the Pacific. And they have nothing to say to me. Clouds are always taciturn. I probably shouldn't be looking up at them. What I should be looking at is inside of me. Like staring down into a deep well. Can I see kindness there? No, all I see is my own nature. My own individual, stubborn, uncooperative often self-centered nature that still doubts itself
that, when troubles occur, tries to find something funny, or something nearly funny, about the situation. I've carried this character around like an old suitcase, down a long, dusty path. I'm not carrying it because I like it. The contents are too heavy, and it looks crummy, fraying in spots. I've carried it with me because there was nothing else I was supposed to carry. Still, I guess I have grown attached to it. As you might expect."
— Haruki Murakami
"It was then that I sprang my surprise. Oh, what a dreamy pet! She walked up to the open suitcase as if stalking it from afar, at a kind of slow-motion walk, peering at that distant treasure box on the luggage support. (Was there something wrong, I wondered, with those great gray eyes of hers, or were we both plunged in the same enchanted mist?) She stepped up to it, lifting her rather high-heeled feet rather high, and bending her beautiful boy-knees while she walked through dilating space with the lentor of one walking under water or in a flight dream."
— Vladimir Nabokov

"As I'm sure you know, whenever you are examine someone else's belongings, you are bound to learn many interesting things about the person of which you were not previously aware. You might examine some letters you sister received recently, for instance, and learn that she was planning on running away with an archduke. You might examine the suitcase of another passenger on a train you are taking, and learn that he had been secretly photographing you for the past six months. I recently looked in the refrigerator of one of my enemies and learned she was a vegetarian, or at least pretending to be one, or had a vegetarian visiting her for a few days. And as the Baudelaire orphans examined some of the objets in Olaf's trunk, they learned a great deal of unpleasant things."
— Lemony Snicket
"I argued with Mom that I should have slightly more than half of the suitcase, since without me and my cancer, we'd never be going to Amsterdam in the first place. Mom countered that since she was twice as large as me and therefore required more physical fabric to preserve her modesty, she deserved at least two-thirds of the suitcase. In the end, we both lost. So it goes."
— John Green

The paper, the stapler, the staples, the tape, the hope. It makes me sick. Physical things. Forty years of loving someone becomes staples and hop."

to war? You'll be a pauper when you die, sore
boy. Dead, while I still live at our addresss.
Oh my brother, why do you keep making plans
when I am at seizures of hearts and hands?
Come dance the dance, the Papa-Mama dance;
bring costumes from the suitcase pasted Ille de France,
the S.S. Gripsholm. Papa's London Harness case
he took abroad and kept i our attic laced
with old leather straps for storage and his
scholar's robes, black licorice - that metamorphosis
with it's crimson blood.
The Papa and Mama Dance"
— Anne Sexton
"In 1976, Jimmy Carter - peanut farmer; carried his own suitcase, imagine that - somewhat tapped America's durable but shallow reservoir of populism. By 1980, ordinariness in high office had lost its allure."
— George Will
"The towels were so thick there I could hardly close my suitcase."
— Yogi Berra
"To guard yourself against thieves who slash open suitcases, rifle through bags and smash open boxes, one should strap the bags and lock them. The world at large knows that this shows wisdom. However, when a master thief comes, he simply picks up the suitcase, lifts the bag, carries off the box and runs away with them, his only concern being whether the straps and locks will hold! In such an instance, what seemed like wisdom on the part of the owner surely turns out to have been of use only to the master thief!"
— Zhuangzi
"Perceptions are always profound, associations deceiving. No watermelon tastes red. Apropos: while waiting for a bus once, I saw open down the arm of a midfat, midlife, freckled woman, suitcase tugging at her hand like a small boy needing to pee, a deep blue crack as wide as any in a Roquefort. Split like paper tearing. She said nothing. Stood. Blue bubbled up in the opening like tar. One thing is certain: a cool flute blue tastes like deep well water drunk from a cup."
— William H. Gass
"In my personal life I've made a lot of compromises. I don't live comfortably. I've lived out of a suitcase for the last 15 years. I have lived without a dime to my name, for a very long time."
— Rie Rasmussen
"I hope you won't mind, my dear, if we take it," said Thunder Karlsson.
"Oh, not at all," said Pippi. "Of course not."
And with that, Blom went over and took out the suitcase.
"I hope you won't mind, my dear, if I take it back," said Pippi, as she climbed out of bed and went over to Blom."
— Astrid Lindgren
"Larry had brought me blue jeans, a red polo shirt, jogging socks, my white Nikes, an extra cross from my suitcase, the silver knives, the Firestar complete with inner pants holster, and the Browning and its shoulder holster. He'd forgotten a bra, but hey, except for that it was perfect."
— Laurell K. Hamilton
"It's not so bad to live out of a suitcase. It's a really beautiful life."
— Jane Monheit
"Panicked, she dropped the suitcase and started edging away. In her haste she caught the backs of her knees on the arm of the sofa, lost her balance and landed flat on her back on the cushions.
His eyes gleaming with amusement, Nick looked at the delectable beauty sprawled invitingly across the sofa. I'm flattered,honey, but I'd like something to eat first.What are you serving-besides baked shoes?"
— Judith McNaught
"The snag in being married to a person who knows more or less everything is that one gets hopelessly lazy ... I never look things up in books because all I need to do is ask him, and when he gives me the answers I don't properly commit them to memory because I know if I forget all I have to do is to ask him again. It is rather like keeping one's brain in a suitcase."
— Alice Thomas Ellis
"My life is a suitcase. I am the traveling Mexican."
"I've been living out of a suitcase for over a decade."
— Nikki Glaser
"At least when somebody's suffocating, you can tell: you see their faces turn blue, their lips quiver, their eyes buck, and their throats jerk. But when a man is mentally packing his bags the suitcase is never out until he's already standing on the other side of the door."
— Kalisha Buckhanon
"I don't even know where mine [Oscar award] is. My mother has hidden it because everybody who comes in wants to take a photograph of it. So what she's done is she put it inside a suitcase somewhere."
"Encountering rhyme out of the blue is like finding a long-lost twin (fraternal), or a suitcase that closes with a particularly satisfying click."
— Matthea Harvey
"One of the things I like to pack, that I take with me all the time, is my Virgensita de Guadalupe. It doesn't take much room in your suitcase. If you have one that isn't so fancy, you can use it on the plane when you're scared."
— Sandra Cisneros
"Why do we put suits in a garment bag and put garments in a suitcase?"
— Steven Wright

The financial sector is one of the most difficult areas one would be required to write an essay on, whether you are in college, university or even working. The reason for this is that as you write your accounting essay, you will most definitely be required to analyze some statistics and accounting practices. This in itself means that the research methods required to pull it off are themselves pretty complicated. In practice, accounting writings will predominantly dwell on numbers. This requires that you be accurate with your numbers as inaccuracy will deny your paper professionalism and trustworthiness. As you write your essay, our advice is that you do not personalize it. You have to base your essay on facts, more so factual numerical data and not your feelings or personal opinion.

Принц Генрих Орлеанский, граф Парижский, герцог Франции (Анри Филипп Пьер Мари Орлеанский (); 14 июня 1933 — 21 января 2019) — орлеанистский претендент на трон Франции под именем Генриха VII (с 19 июня 1999 года по 21 января 2019 года), бывший военный, писатель, художник.

Потомок короля Франции Луи-Филиппа I, правившего в 1830—1848 годах, глава Орлеанского королевского дома из Бурбонской династии в 1999—2019 годах. Признавался законным претендентом на французский престол французскими роялистами из фракции «орлеанистов» и «юнионистов».

Биография
Старший сын принца Генриха Орлеанского (1908—1999), графа Парижского, и принцессы Изабеллы Орлеан-Браганса (1911—2003).

Родился в Волюве-Сен-Пьере в Бельгии. В 1886 году во Франции был принят закон, запрещающий наследникам ранее правивших французских династий находиться на территории республики. В 1950 году этот закон был отменен, но Анри Орлеанский получил разрешение на въезд во Францию еще в 1948 году по специальному разрешению президента Франции Венсана Ориоля.

25 августа 1940 года скончался дед Генриха — 65-летний Жан Орлеанский, герцог де Гиз. Его отец Генрих Орлеанский был признан большинством французских роялистов в качестве главы французского королевского дома, а Анри стал дофином (наследником престола).

Учился в Институте политических исследований в (Париже), затем служил в армии. Участвовал в Алжирской войне (1954—1962).

30 июня 1957 года получил от отца титул графа де Клермона.

Умер 21 января 2019 года.

Браки и дети
5 июля 1957 года в часовне Святого Людовика в городе Дре Генрих Орлеанский женился на герцогине Марии Терезе Вюртембергской (род. 12 ноября 1934), четвёртой дочери герцога Филиппа Альбрехта Вюртембергского (1893—1975) и эрцгерцогини Розы Австрийской (1906—1983). Супруги имели пятерых детей:

 Принцесса Тереза Изабель Мария Элеонора Орлеанская (род. 23 апреля 2001)
 Принц Пьер Жан Мари Орлеанский (род. 6 августа 2003)

Брак был несчастлив. В 1984 году Генрих и Мария-Тереза получили гражданский развод. Но римско-католическая церковь отказалась признать брак недействительным.

31 октября того же года в Бордо Генрих вторично женился на испанской дворянке Микаэле Анне Марии Коусиньо и Киньонес де Леон (30 апреля 1938 — 13 марта 2022), дочери Луиса Коусиньо и Себире и доньи Антонии Марии Киньонес де Леон и Баньюэлос, 4-й маркизы де Сан-Карлос. Этот гражданский брак не был признан рядом французских роялистов. Отец Генриха был рассержен, он лишил сына титула графа де Клермона, а взамен дал ему менее важный титул графа де Мортена. Мария-Тереза, бывшая графиня Клермон, получила от бывшего свекра титул герцогини де Монпансье.

Позднее напряженность между отцом и сыном ослабла, отец восстановил Генриха как его наследника и предоставил его второй жене Микаэле титул «принцессы де Жуанвиль». Отношения между Генрихом и его бывшей женой, герцогиней де Монпансье, также улучшились и стали теплыми.

Хотя Генрих Орлеанский после смерти в 1999 году своего отца принял титул графа Парижского, его вторая жена Микаэла оставалась принцессой де Жуанвиль при жизни его матери, которая осталась графиней Парижской. После смерти в 2003 году Изабеллы Орлеан-Браганса Микаэла приняла титул графини Парижской.

В 2009 году Генрих, граф Парижский, и его бывшая жена, герцогиня де Монпансье, смогли добиться от Ватикана аннулирования своего церковного брака, не затронув статус и легитимность своих детей. В сентябре 2009 года граф Генрих Парижский женился по римско-католическом обряду на своей второй жене Микаэле.

Общественная жизнь
В попытке установить свои законные права как глава Королевского дома Франции Генрих Орлеанский вёл безуспешный судебный процесс (1987—1989) против своего соперника Луи-Альфонса, герцога Анжуйского, за право пользования королевским гербом. Французский суд признал, что не обладает юрисдикцией для рассмотрения этого дела, и отклонил иск.

Генрих Орлеанский создал Институт Французского Королевского Дома (Institut de la maison royale de France), а после смерти отца стал главой Фонда Святого Людовика (Le Saint-Louis) и стал его почетным президентом.

В 2004 года он безуспешно участвовал в выборах в Европейский Парламент. В начале октября 2005 года Генрих Орлеанский в интервью еженедельнику «Point de Vue» опроверг информацию о том, что он якобы планировал принять участие в 2007 году в выборах президента Франции. Как он объяснил, это было просто журналистское недоразумение.

Право на наследство
19 июня 1999 года после смерти своего отца Генриха Орлеанского, графа Парижского, Генрих стал новым главой французского королевского дома (по мнению его сторонников). Он стал именоваться «Графом Парижским и Герцогом Французским». Он утверждал, что принял титул герцога Франции как наследник Гуго Капета и его потомков, королей Франции. Его вторая супруга Микаэла после смерти в июле 2003 года Изабеллы Орлеан-Браганса, матери Генриха, стала известна как герцогиня Французская.

После смерти своего отца Генрих отменил его решение о лишении наследства его младших братьев Мишеля, графа д'Эвре, и Тибо, графа де ла Марш. Мишель Орлеанский женился на знатной женщине, не имеющей королевской крови, а Тибо Орлеанский вступил в брак с простолюдинкой. Генрих также даровал титулы своему младшему брату и племянникам. Его младший брат Жак (род. 1941) получил титул герцога Орлеанского, Шарль-Луи (род. 1972) стал герцогом Шартрским, а Фульк (род. 1974) — герцогом Омальским и графом д'Э.

Генрих Орлеанский, граф Парижский, объявил дофином с присвоением титула графа Клермонского своего старшего сына Франсуа, больного токсоплазмозом, при регентстве среднего сына Жана, герцога Вандомского. В 2006 году Франсуа официально отказался от титула дофина, и Генрих назначил дофином герцога Вандомского.

Owen Carey
Born in Brooklyn, and growing up in NY and NJ, Owen's first theatrical experience was A Midsummer Night's Dream – the audio version – with the record of the month club, a gift from his parents for his 4th birthday. He was immediately enthralled with Puck and foolish Jackasses. His first live theatre experience was in High School when he played Captain Von Trapp in The Sound of Music and met the real Maria. He worked his way through high school and college playing drums and singing in bands in clubs, colleges and recording studios in NY and around the northeast. In his early 20s, he traded in his drumsticks for cameras, and studied at the New School with Peter Moore, who documented the NY avant-garde art world. Owen also assisted artist/experimental film makers, Michael Snow and Joyce Wieland, shooting production stills for them. Through Snow and Weiland he met other filmmakers and playwright Richard Forman (Owen's first taste of live experimental theatre). By 1974, rather than stay in NY to photograph the art of others, Owen left for Oregon to make music again, and to make his own photographic art and find his "voice." In 1978 he married actress Katy Powell and began shooting plays, actor's headshots and portraits, and a career was born. After shooting for Artists Rep for 28 years, he is proud to wear the title, Resident Photographer. He currently also loves working with his friends at Third Rail Repertory Theatre (since 2006), and Oregon Children's Theatre (for 25 years), and thoroughly enjoyed his 12 years with Portland Center Stage, bringing them into the digital age. He is so happy to be an integral part of the Portland theatre community, working with fine actors, designers and directors to reflect and support their quality work.


"After 27 years of meditating on Sri Ramakrishna, I finally..." the 50-year-old philosopher, author, broadcaster and meditator stops, adjusts his Kashmir shawl and leans forward. "I recently met Sant Keshavadas and gave him a copy of Great Swan. He spontaneously said 'You should be called Ramakrishna Das for writing a book like this' I accepted it. Now when I lake Great Swan to India in December I will have a Sanskrit name!'"
Hixon beams and starts talking with the quick pace of a man on mission - his Yale philosophy degree and Columbia PhD erudition showing, but the bookishness softened by years of personal sadhana. As the Hindu world prepares to celebrate the centennial of Swami Vivekananda's dramatic 1893 sowing of the Advaitic vision in America, Lex Hixon points to the young sannyasin's guru, Bengali mystic Ramakrishna.
Hixon's gift to this celebration is a fresh portrait of that human glacier that fed the powerful stream of Himalayan teachings Vivekananda carried Westward. To this purpose, he has dedicated this fiftieth year of his life as an offering to Sri Ramakrishna, touring and reading from Great Swan, personally introducing the Hindu sage to others. Paramahamsa is popularly translated "Great Swan," referring to the swan of Hindu folklore who, like a great soul, can separate out the milk (the sacred) from a mixture of milk and water (worldy life). But actually, hamsa is the Anser Indicus, a high-flying goose, an ancient symbol of the sun. In scripture, it was used as a metaphor for the soul soaring to the Self.
Great Swan is a first-person, you-are-there dramatized literary doorway into 19th century India, directly into the potent recesses of the Dakshineswar Temple Garden, and into the vital presence of a God-realized being. It is not, however, a literal rendering of Ramakrishna's riveting, terse, eloquent, but inextricably colloquial Bengali, nor a simple rehashing of other translations in which Ramakrishna speaks in Victorianized English. Great Swan is a daring and exciting departure from rule-book biographies - transposing Ramakrishna's cryptic Bengali into 20th century English idiom and tone. Lingual charms are forgivably lost but important meanings are saved. For instance, Ramakrishna repeatedly used the rich two-word Bengali phrase kamini kanchan. "To indicate the habitual drives of sexuality and possessiveness, his shorthand description for the entire conventional world," Hixon notes. But in the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, Nikhilananda translated the subtle expression literally "women and gold," suggesting an indictment of womanhood hardly Ramakrishna's. Even Nikhilananda felt compelled to write a long footnote explaining the saint's metaphorical rather than literal meaning, "assuring the reading public that the Paramahamsa worshipped women rather than rejecting or denigrating them." Hixon ably hurdles these linguistic pitfalls.
"The book is based," the author continues, "on eyewitness accounts of Ramakrishna both from The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna and from the more recent Ramakrishna, As We Saw Him, containing reminiscences that before had existed only in Bengali or obscure, out of print English journals. Both were used to enrich the details."
As for inspiration, "it comes from 27 years of meditation on Ramakrishna. I feel that Ramakrishna's subtle body merges with the subtle body of anyone who receives his mantra in direct initiatory succession, which I did in 1965 from Swami Nikhilananda. On the other hand. I feel that my main source of guidance was my years of study with Swami Nikhilananda, all the scoldings he gave me and all the corrections he very kindly gave in order to get me on the right track."
Despite the reluctance of the venerable Ramakrishna Mission to identify itself with Hinduism per se, Great Swan delights in Ramakrishna's Hinduness. "The reader will begin to encounter and meet this Divine being in all his Hindu particularity, his dancing, his singing songs of Ramprasad about the Goddess Kali, all of those rich. Hindu qualities become vibrant, and no universality is lost," says Hixon. "We don't have to worry about Ramakrishna's primary devotion to Goddess Kali; we don't have to keep that hidden in a closet someplace. We can bring it out - particularly now because the women's movement has become so strong and the sense of the Goddess is penetrating everywhere."
I cautiously ask consummate eclectic Hixon what he thinks about the Ramakrishna Missions's declaration as non-Hindu. He responds, "It is peculiar that people deny the roots of their own tradition...RK Mission calls it Vedanta, which is just Hinduism if you want to be really honest about it."
"I think the Hindu community will be overjoyed to see the quintessence of their culture and their spirituality - embodied in Ramakrishna - being reintroduced with depth and sensitivity," Hixon muses. "Society has been changing and transforming. For 50 years the figure of Ramakrishna has been percolating through American culture, affecting many people in a subtle way, so the atmosphere is just right for Ramakrishna to come dancing in, whirling, calling out Mother Kali's name."
"Brothers and sisters of America..." The greeting unnerves the audience. They burst into two minutes of applause. When the excitement subsides, the cool, brilliant mind of one of Hinduism's greatest spiritual figures delivers an historic vision of Hindu spirituality so potent and persuasive it has virtualy become the sruti note of Hinduism in the West.
Americans at once fell in love with 30-year-old Swami Vivekananda, Ramakrishna's foremost disciple Those weary of a "saved and doomed" mentality flocked to the radiant Asian soul. Christian preachers eager to trounce the "invader" in argument eventually shied away from his razor-sharp intellect and disquieting Hindu pride. Vivekananda stormed across America with meteoric intensity, traveling tirelessly, delivering scores of lectures, destroying misconceptions, and instilling a new respect for India, "the land of spirit."
Lex Hixon first stumbled upon The Gospel of Ramakrishna in 1963, after graduating from Yale with a degree in philosophy. Entranced, he tracked down the book's translator. Swami Nikhilinanda, "a direct disciple of Sarada Devi, the wife of Ramakrishna," Hixon shares. Lex and his wife became disciples, serving, traveling, and living with the Swami for the last 7 years of his life.
At his guru's urging, Hixon earned a PhD, from Columbia University for his dissertation on the Gaudapada Karika, the very same "radical philosophical text that Swami Nikhilananda had translated from Sanskrit into English as a young monk-scholar in India during the 1920's." Hixon also studied classical Indian music, founded Free Spirit magazine, and for 13 years hosted a celebrated weekly radio program interviewing famous spiritual personalities of all traditions. It was during this magical time that Hixon matured into working form his own highly eclectic path, an approach to the Divine he feels is thoroughly "grounded in Ramakrishna."
"There are four traditions with which I have an initiatory connection - Eastern Orthodox Christianity, the Khalwati-Jerrahi (Dervish) Order of Islamic Sufism, the Vajrayana Tantric Buddhist tradition of Tibet, and Sri Ramakrishna and Sri Sarada's transmission of what I call Hindu Tantra."
Pursuing simultaneously sadhanas from several religions can be a treacherous ascent to the Divine, but Hixon manages this approach with uncanny dexterity and resolve. "Ramakrishna himself didn't advocate anything. He saw the karmic tendencies and the predilections of a person and he encouraged them along their spiritual way. I encourage people with a laser beam concentration to remain concentrated like that in their tradition. Others I encourage to go forward and not to feel like they have to sacrifice one tradition in the name of another." Of his own four children, one is an Eastern Orthodox Christian, one a Vedantisi, and two are Tibetan Buddhists.
And does Lex Hixon consider himself a Hindu? "I haven't received the samakaras and taken the sacred thread, so I don't think I could culturally be called a Hindu in that sense, but Ramakrishna embodies the fullness and the mainstream of Hindu culture and spirituality, and I've absorbed that entirely, so in that sense. I think I am."

Asplenium × wherryi, known as Wherry's spleenwort, is a rare hybrid fern of the Appalachian Mountains. The sterile triploid offspring of mountain spleenwort (A. montanum) and Bradley's spleenwort (A. bradleyi), it is known from a few sites where those species grow together. First collected by Edgar T. Wherry in 1935, it was largely ignored until a new colony was found in 1961, and the species was named in his honor.

Description
Asplenium × wherryi is a small, evergreen fern. The fronds are monomorphic, showing little or no difference between sterile and fertile fronds. The dark-colored stipe (the stalk of the leaf, below the blade) is up to  long, while the rachis (the central axis of the leaf) is green. The leaf blades are lance-shaped, cut into ten to sixteen pairs of pinnae. The leaf blades are bipinnate at the base (with pinnae fully cut into pinnules), becoming pinnate-pinnatifid (with lobed pinnae) in the middle of the blade and merely pinnatifid (cut only to lobes) near the tip. The spores are abortive and the species is presumed to be triploid.

In general, A. × wherryi is intermediate in form between its two parents. The dark color is present throughout the stipe of A. × wherryi; in A. bradleyi, the dark color extends well into the rachis, while in A. montanum, only the base of the stipe is dark. The blade of A. × wherryi is lance-shaped; that of A. bradleyi is more narrowly so, while that of A. montanum is more triangular. The cutting of the blade is also intermediate between the parents, resembling the bipinnate (or more deeply cut) A. montanum at the base and the pinnate-pinnatifid A. bradleyi higher in the leaf.

Taxonomy
The fern was first identified by Edgar T. Wherry and Harry W. Trudell in the fall of 1935. They were following up on an American Fern Society field trip that had located A. bradleyi (and A. montanum) in a cliff  northwest of Blairstown, New Jersey. Wherry and Trudell found additional individuals of A. bradleyi, as well as a colony of the hybrid between the two species. Wherry published a report of the discovery but did not describe the hybrid, although he sketched the two lowest pinnae and described it as "exactly intermediate between parents" in his Guide to Eastern Ferns in 1937. The hybrid did not again appear in the scientific literature until 1961, when a group of botanists from the University of Illinois discovered that a few small specimens which they had collected in Lee County, Kentucky represented this hybrid. Taking Wherry's 1935 material, which had been deposited at the Philadelphia Herbarium, as the type specimen, they published the first formal description of the hybrid and named it in honor of Wherry, for his contributions to pteridology. The hybrid origins of the species were further supported by a series of chromatographic experiments in 1963. Like A. bradleyi, chromatograms made from A. × wherryi contained all the compounds detected in the chromatograms of ebony spleenwort (A. platyneuron) and mountain spleenwort.

Distribution
In theory, A. × wherryi might be found anywhere the ranges of its parental species overlap, stretching down the Appalachian Mountains from New York to Georgia and in the Shawnee Hills of Indiana and Kentucky. In practice, it is quite uncommon and scattered. It has been reported from New Jersey, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Kentucky, and Whitfield County, Georgia. The Pennsylvania report consisted of a single plant which grew for a few years at Tucquan Glen. The type locality in New Jersey was reported destroyed in 1956, although A. bradleyi was rediscovered there in 1960.

Ecology and conservation
Like its parent species, A. × wherryi is found growing in narrow crevices in acidic rocks, such as quartzite or sandstone.

The Hoops boss doesn't expect the Belgian defender to be at Celtic in the long term future and insists he's 'top class'.
Brendan Rodgers made his view crystal clear when Dedryck Boyata sat-out the Champions League qualification campaign.
But now Celtic are safely into the group stages of the Europa League with him back in the fold, the boss is now adamant the Belgian can be key to his team laying a solid platform for success in the second tier.
Boyata's return to favour has been instrumental in the upturn in defensive fortunes for Celtic.
Having basically gone on strike during the Champions League qualifiers, the manager expressed his disappointment at his absence at the time.
But, having told the defender he was staying and putting him back into the team, the World Cup star has been inspirational.
Boyata has helped the side to seven clean sheets in their last eight games and Rodgers is now looking for the stalwart to be a mainstay of a compact approach on the continent.
He's seen the stopper validate his belief about being top class and said: "That was always the case.
"He is entering into his years at 28 where he can show it. I have always said when he is concentrated that he is a top class player.
Boyata will partner either Jack Hendry or the returning Jozo Simunovic tonight with Kristoffer Ajer and Filip Benkovic absent and his influence will be crucial as the Scottish champions look to gain a foothold in the contest.
At various times over the past couple of years in the Champions League group stages, Celtic have lost bad goals and plenty of them.
Rodgers would never park the bus, but is looking at various ways to tighten things up and make sure his team can stay solid in the face of problems.
He explained: "I think we were in against a level of opponent that was at the real top end of the game. We struggled with it.
"We set up to be defensive and, when it worked, it worked well for us.
"Against Barcelona at home it worked well for us to a certain degree. The shape worked well to a point. But then their top end quality got them through.
"When we aren't on it, and we have to be at our maximum at this level, and make a mistake, against the top sides you get punished.
"I would never expose any team I've had to that.
"We're at a level now where we're playing against very good teams. Away from home in particular you've got to ensure that you're super tight, super compact.
"It's also about being dangerous with your possession.
"You know when you come away from home in Europe, you're playing against quality teams. They're going to have the ball, they're going to move the ball.
Red Bull Salzburg will, of course, pose a considerable offensive threat.
The Austrians have scored a bundle of goals while racking up a 16-game unbeaten record at the beginning of this term, but Rodgers also sees potential to get at the hosts due to their expansive style.
He explained: "They should be [frustrated they are not in the Champions League]. Being 2-0 up in your home leg in the last qualification game [against Red Star Belgrade] and to lose two goals and go out on away goals, you'd be bitterly disappointed.
"You only have to look at last season. They almost got to the Europa League Final.
"They were semi-finalists and just missed out when they were expected to go through.
"They are a very, very good team and are winning lots of games, so it'll be a really tough game, but it's one I'm looking forward to and the battle within it.
"They score goals, but they concede as well. They were 2-0 up against Leipzig and brought back to 2-2 before they [Leipzig] conceded late on.
"Because of the shape, there is space in behind and beside it.
"They play with a diamond and, having worked with a diamond a lot, I know how you can really press teams in with it, but on the other side, it can leave you weak and open and you can exploit that. If you can get out, it gives you a chance to create opportunities.
"There is no doubt the flexibility in our movement is coming back again.
"I can see good signs like Saturday when we had to really battle and fight, but showed good quality at times, we created some good opportunities.
"Look, we haven't come flying out of the blocks by any means, but the dynamic is getting better, the intensity in our game.
"I'm looking forward to the game. I think it's going to be a real battle.
"This is the big change for us. A lot of our games, there are very few teams where we're having to set up in a compact shape and the ball worked around the field to give you the chance to move.
"A lot of our game is based on a counter press when we lose it and then it comes long.
"So it's a totally different style when you come against these teams. That's why I think it's hard for Scottish players to adjust.


nothing much else in politics matters!"
(or, really) -- Which Party?
If there ever was a time, now *is* the time for better Party leadership - in the USA and in Washington State.
How many Democratic and Progressive Party's are there - and which grabbed the reins in 2008, with Obama?
There is the Democratic Party of the neocons - who "know" that corporations are and should be in charge -- and profit is the sole measure of success in business and their politics. There are corporate people in the national and state parties, but I am not Corporate, and the Democratic Party of the neocons is not my party.
There is the Democratic Party of Political Incumbents, who "know" that compromise and deals is the way the world works, and that getting something through and getting re-elected are the measures of success in politics and in its parallel business world. But I was never an incumbent, and the Democratic Party of Incumbents is not my party.
There is the Democratic Party of Political Consultants, Pollsters, Strategists and Players from the Sidelines, who "know" that making deals and marketing are the way politics works, and that getting something through and getting "your people" re-elected are the measures of success in politics and their own business world, where failure of your candidate is taken as your own failure - thus not good for business. Some of these sidelines players are not after strictly financial gains, but after power for whatever their interest might be. But I am not a Political Consultant, Pollster or Strategist, and the Democratic Party of Political Consultants is not my party.
There is the Democratic Party of the Media, who "know" that controversy sells, and bigger campaigns mean more and bigger ads, and know that's good for the business of the Media. The FEC and the PDC track where the money comes from and which campaigns it goes to, but who tracks where it goes - who actually *profits* from big political campaigns? TV, radio, newspapers, graphic artists, marketing experts, print-shops and data analysts are those who pocket the outlays made by the campaigns. But I am not a Media Mogul, and the Democratic Party of the Media is not my party.
There is the Democratic Party of Labor, who "know" that labor leaders should be, and are in charge and better wages and benefits for workers are the sole measure of success in life and politics. I strongly support fairness and justice in employment and treatment of workers, but I was never a labor leader, and the Democratic Party of Labor is not my party.
There is the Democratic Party of the Party Faithful, who "know" that the Party Leaders are right, so they must follow the guidance and instructions of those leaders. They don't have to think, because the leaders are informed and have figured out what should be done and who should be the candidates. But I am not a blind follower, and the Democratic Party of the Party Faithful is not my party.
There is the Democratic Party of the Philosophical, who "know" that there are ideas and concepts which define the community and the way things ought to work, even though they may not see them working that way very often. They think a lot, and discuss a lot, but have very little success in getting others to join with them to actually do the things they dream of. Maybe I am at least sometimes a Philosophical Democrat, but that doesn't get much done and consumes a lot of energy for little to show, so I probably should not be a Philosophical Democrat.
There is the Party of Principles and the Platform for All the People, who "know" that there are values which define what is important for the community, and that define the way things ought to be in order to bring a satisfactory life for everyone and to build a community and world in balance, for seven generations and more. But proposals founded solely on principles and values seem to compete weakly against the power of immediate gratification, and they struggle for the scarce resources which is almost always the case, so they are a small Party which rarely seems to have much impact - and attracts few members, just from those others who want it all, now, for themselves.
and (in 2004) I was sad for the Nation and the World.
at least for a while -- (in 2008) I was glad.
Then in 2011, I again reviewed the Principles (Ten Key Values) of the renewed Green Party, and -- (in 2013) I was glad. Maybe you would be, too?
