'Adapt or go back': Racist note shocks Edmonton Muslim man
Posted on February 8, 2017 by shieldformuslims	in Uncategorized.
'It makes me just feel like these people can be anywhere,' Ahmed Mustapha said about hateful note
Muslim man living in Edmonton says his sense of security has been shattered by a racist note wedged into the driver's side door of his car on Tuesday.
At first, 27-year-old Ahmed Mustapha said he thought it was a police ticket — but then he saw the handwritten scrawl:
"Learn how to park your car you Muzlem Iranian F**k. This isn't Baghdad bud! Cant just tie your camel up anywhere over here … Adapt or go back Abdul … "
Mustapha's family brought him to Canada from the Palestinian territories 25 years ago and raised him as a practising Muslim.
He said it's difficult to find words that describe how he feels about the note.
"It's obscene, it's disgusting," he said.
"I just didn't think that that would be happening here in Canada, especially in my neighbourhood so close to home."
He said he has parked his car in the same spot, on the street across from his Castle Downs home, every day for the past two years.
"That note could have read, 'Could you please park somewhere else?' And I would have parked somewhere else.
"It makes me just feel like these people can be anywhere. And I get that everybody has their freedom of speech. But for a hateful comment like that?"
Mustapha has filed a report with Edmonton police, and said they have agreed to meet with him Wednesday evening.
An EPS spokesperson confirmed a complaint was filed but did not provide any more information.
'Complacency is not an option'
The Alberta Muslim Public Affairs Council is calling on law enforcement and government to step in before the situation escalates.
"Sometimes these things don't get the attention they deserve," said Aurangzeb Qureshi, a spokesperson for the council.
"We have to take this stuff and we have to address it at the beginning, because we now know what this can turn into," he added, referring to the deadly shooting at a Quebec City mosque on Sunday.
"We need to address these things when they are relatively small. We all need to stand together and condemn it because if we condemn it together, it discourages those people who do commit these types of actions."
Police in Edmonton have worked with the council in the past to address issues such as racist flyers left in residential mailboxes, Qureshi added.
"The advocacy and the pressure that's applied definitely works, and we have to continue doing that to ensure that this stuff is taken seriously," he said.
"We know now what can happen and complacency is not an option."

The historic Woodward's building, located in the 100 block of West Hastings Street in downtown Vancouver has undergone a major redevelopment. The site now combines market and non-market housing, along with commercial and retail space and institutional art spread over several buildings. The project has socially, environmentally and economically sustainable principles at its core and is a critical part of a larger effort to revitalize this historic Vancouver neighbourhood. Among the project highlights are 200 non-market housing units, a daycare facility, non-profit and federal office space, and a sustainable environment with green spaces on rooftops. In addition, a 40 story market and non-market residential tower, retail and office space, and city non-profit space in the original 1903 Heritage Building round out the expansive city-block project. The indoor Atrium and garden areas allow flow-through pedestrian access to encourage and draw in people from surrounding neighbourhoods to participate in the social and economic revitalization of the area.
Sustainable building concepts are utilized throughout. The centralized steam generation plant, local and recycled material sourcing, heat scavenging and optimized air-cooled fluid coolers are among many of the site's energy efficiency features.
The site's size and multi-building nature required unique solutions for the control network strategy. While portions of the system are meant to function independently, there is inter-dependence throughout common areas of the site, such as the parkade, mechanical and electrical rooms and equipment. Communication between separate yet inter-dependent systems had to be transparent and continuous. In addition, the sheer amount of control devices and equipment related to the entire site had to be intuitively organized and visually connected in the graphical user interface in order to allow building operators to properly determine all equipment functions and their related operating spaces.
Our control strategy provided a common LonWorks® based backbone for the site, which could branch out and expand into each of the 4 distinct buildings. Ethernet-based connectivity was established between controllers and the supervisor device and all building information was pooled into the all-encompassing graphical user interface. Intuitive navigation and detailed floor plans allow access to all parts of the building, clearly identifying and providing monitoring and adjustment control to all relevant equipment, based on proximity in the corresponding building. The unified interface provides real time access and system alarms as well as complete trending features at all times through Internet connectivity.
The Woodward's Redevelopment Project brought together multiple partners to build a new vision for the historic Vancouver site. Similarly, the site combines a multitude of equipment controls, varied spaces and unique control requirements. Modern Systems Management brought together all design goals and operating specifications into a seamless, integrated control solution which provides full remote access, timely system alarms, easy-to-use interface for adjusting space settings and effective trend logging for data analysis and troubleshooting. We have provided the flexibility needed to grow and change the building system as the needs of the multi-faceted facility change, providing longevity and a protected investment.

Sun Jian (; ur. ok. 155 w Fuyangu, zm. pod koniec 191 w pobliżu Xiangyangu) – chiński dowódca okresu Han, ojciec Sun Ce i Sun Quana.

Pochodzenie, początki kariery i rodzina
Sun Jian urodził się ok. 155 roku w powiecie (xian) Fuchun (dzis. miasto Fuyang), w komanderii Wu w prowincji Yang. Był on bliźniakiem (jego bratu nadano imię Qiang). Nie znamy imienia osobistego jego matki, a imię osobiste jego ojca, Zhong, podaje jedynie anegdota zachowana w literackiej kompilacji z V wieku, a zatem źródło mało wiarygodne. Jego biografia w Kronice Trzech Królestw nie wymienia jakichkolwiek urzędów, które wcześniej miałaby sprawować jego rodzina. Wszystko to sugeruje, że ród Sun posiadał nader skromny status przed narodzinami Sun Jiana. Ta sama biografia wywodzi jego pochodzenie od słynnego Sun Wu, autora Sztuki wojennej Sun Zi, co jednak nie poddaje się weryfikacji. Niemniej rodzina Sun musiała zamieszkiwać w regionie od co najmniej kilku pokoleń, ponieważ posiadała swoje wydzielone miejsce pochówku na wschód od miasta nad rzeką Fuchun.

W wieku piętnastu lub szesnastu lat Sun Jian został niższym urzędnikiem w administracji powiatu, co mogło odpowiadać pozycji jego rodziny. Niedługo potem razem z ojcem udał się w podróż do Qiantang (dzis. Hangzhou), gdzie dowiedzieli się oni, że w pobliżu miasta założył obóz pirat Hu Yu, grabiący podróżnych. Według Kroniki Trzech Królestw wbrew zdaniu ojca Sun Jian zaatakował obóz piratów w pojedynkę, na ich oczach wykonując rękami gesty nakazujące rzekomym żołnierzom z jego prawej i lewej strony atak. Przekonani, że zostali zaatakowani przez cały oddział, piraci uciekli, z wyjątkiem jednego, którego Sun Jian doścignął i pozbawił głowy. Po tym wydarzeniu Sun Jian został mianowany tymczasowym (jia) komendantem (wei) powiatu. Określenie jia mogło oznaczać zarówno, że Sun Jian pełnił obowiązki faktycznego komendanta, jak i że był tylko jego zastępcą. Do obowiązków komendanta należało dbanie o bezpieczeństwo w powiecie i przeprowadzenie corocznego poboru na jego terytorium. W roku 172 w regionie wybuchła rebelia niejakiego Xu Changa i Sun Jian został mianowany majorem (sima) oraz nakazano mu rekrutowanie ludzi na terenie komanderii. Odznaczył się on w trakcie tłumienia trwającego do 174 roku buntu do tego stopnia, że Inspektor (ci shi) prowincji Yang, Zang Min, który był dowódcą ogółu sił w regionie, zarekomendował go w stolicy. W rezultacie cesarski list ustanowił Sun Jiana asystentem (cheng) w powiecie Yandu w komanderii Guangling, w pobliżu dzisiejszego Yanchengu.

Mniej więcej w tym czasie Sun Jian się ożenił. Jego wybranką była Dama Wu (jej imię osobiste jest nieznane), sierota żyjąca ze swoim młodszym bratem Wu Jingiem i innymi krewnymi w Qiantangu, której rodzina posiadała prawdopodobnie nieco wyższy status niż ród Sun. Pierwszym synem z tego małżeństwa był Sun Ce, urodzony w roku 175, drugim zaś Sun Quan, urodzony w roku 182. Później urodzili się jeszcze Sun Yi i Sun Kuang, a Sun Jian uznał jeszcze jednego syna, Sun Langa, którego urodziła inna kobieta, być może oficjalna konkubina. Według różnych źródeł Sun Jian miał także posiadać trzy lub cztery córki, z których tylko jedną urodziła mu Dama Wu. Właśnie ta ostatnia przeszła do historii jako Dama Sun, żona Liu Beia. Imiona osobiste córek Sun Jiana nie są znane. Mimo że Sun Jian posiadał dzieci także z innymi kobietami nie wydaje się by w jego małżeństwie istniały jakieś poważne konflikty. Dama Wu i jej brat Wu Jing mieli lojalnie współdziałać z rodem Sun zarówno za życia Sun Jiana, jak i po jego śmierci. Do roku 184 Sun Jian służył jako asystent kolejno w trzech powiatach: wspomnianym już Yandu, Xuyi i Xiapi. Zarówno Xuyi jak i Xiapi leżały w dzisiejszej prowincji Jiangsu, pierwsze z nich na północ od dzis. miasta o tej nazwie, zaś drugie na wschód od dzisiejszego Pichengu. Xiapi było wówczas stolicą królestwa (wang), i część splendoru jaki otaczał prefekta (ling) tego powiatu musiał także spływać na jego asystenta. Nie zmieniało to faktu że w tych latach Sun Jian nie otrzymał żadnego awansu, ciągle dzierżąc to samo niesamodzielne stanowisko asystenta.

Walki z Żółtymi Turbanami i komanderia Changsha
Kiedy w roku 184 wybuchło powstanie Żółtych Turbanów Zhu Jun, dowódca jednej z trzech cesarskich armii skierowanych do jego stłumienia, ustanowił Sun Jiana majorem. Ten zebrał około tysiąca ludzi i dołączył do jego sił. Według biografii Sun Jiana z Kroniki Trzech Królestw w trakcie walk z Żółtymi Turbanami miał on odnosić zwycięstwa nad każdym przeciwnikiem z którym walczył oraz odznaczyć się w kończącym kampanię szturmie na zajęte przez powstańców miasto Wan (dzis. Nanyang). Jednak według komentarza Pei Songzhi przynajmniej w jednej z potyczek Sun Jian został ranny i spadł z konia, zaś jego ludzie rozpierzchli się. Znaleziono go później na polu bitwy, zaś wyleczenie rany zajęło około dwóch tygodni. Niemniej nie ulega wątpliwości, że Sun Jian musiał odznaczyć się w walkach z Żółtymi Turbanami, ponieważ po ich zakończeniu jego imię zostało wymienione w listach do cesarza i został on awansowany na majora z samodzielnym dowództwem (biebu sima).

W ósmym miesiącu 185 roku Sun Jian został przydzielony do sztabu Zhang Wena walczącego z rebelią, która wybuchła w prowincji Liang (dzis. Gansu) w zimie 184 i 185 roku. Być może już wcześniej Sun Jian walczył z tymi powstańcami pod dowództwem Huangfu Songa, którego Zhang Wen zastąpił. O udziale Sun Jiana w tej kampanii wiadomo bardzo mało. Jego biografia w Kronice Trzech Królestw koncentruje się przede wszystkim na opisaniu tego, jak Sun Jian miał naciskać na skazanie na śmierć za "butę i niesubordynację" generała (jiangjun) Dong Zhuo. W rzeczywistości Dong Zhuo odnosił największe sukcesy spośród dowódców Zhang Wena i wydaje się, że rzekomo skierowana do tego ostatniego oskarżycielska przemowa Sun Jiana ma charakter apokryficzny. Prawdopodobnie jego biograf chciał pokazać, iż już wtedy przeciwstawiał się on człowiekowi, który w przyszłości miał zabić cesarza i uzurpować sobie faktyczną władzę nad cesarstwem.

W roku 186, Sun Jian powrócił do stolicy, gdzie otrzymał stanowisko zaufanego doradcy (yilang), by po kilku miesiącach zostać mianowanym wielkim zarządcą (tai shou) komanderii Changsha. Było to najwyższe możliwe stanowisko w administracji terytorialnej cesarstwa, a komanderia Changsha, której stolica, Linxiang, leżała nieopodal dzisiejszego miasta Changsha, była jednym z kluczowych regionów cesarstwa.

W tym okresie ludność komanderii była jednak trapiona przez ataki pomniejszych buntowników i zwykłych bandytów, jakich było wielu w różnych regionach Chin po tym jak lokalna administracja została zdezorganizowana przez powstanie Żółtych Turbanów. Sun Jian stosunkowo szybko uporał się z tymi przeciwnikami, nie wahając się interweniować także na obszarze sąsiednich komanderii, mimo że formalnie nie miał do tego prawa. W nagrodę za swoje wysiłki otrzymał on od cesarza tytuł markiza (hou) Wucheng. Tytuł hou był najwyższym jaki mógł otrzymać człowiek nie należący do rodu cesarskiego, i jego posiadanie nie było czymś zwyczajnym nawet wśród wielkich zarządców. Powiat Wucheng leżał w komanderii Wu, na południe od jeziora Tai Hu, i teraz Sun Jian miał prawo do części pochodzących z niego podatków.

Wojna z Dong Zhuo
Kiedy 13 maja 189 roku zmarł cesarz Ling (168 - 189), jego żona, Cesarzowa He, wraz ze swoim bratem He Jinem, który zajmował stanowisko naczelnego dowódcy (da jiangjun), zapewniła sukcesję swojemu małoletniemu synowi Liu Bianowi (189). Teraz He Jin zamierzał pozbyć się wpływów eunuchów, którzy zdobyli ogromną władzę podczas panowania Lingdi. Ci jednak dowiedzieli się o jego spisku i 22 września 189 roku zamordowali go. W odpowiedzi dowódca He Jina, Yuan Shao, na czele oddziałów gwardii wyruszył na pałac i rozpoczął zabijanie każdego eunucha, którego napotkały jego siły. Powstały w trakcie walk pożar Luoyangu sprowadził do stolicy Dong Zhuo, któremu wcześniej He Jin kazał czekać ze swoją armią kilkadziesiąt kilometrów od miasta, by mógł on wziąć udział w ostatecznej rozprawie z eunuchami. Teraz Dong Zhuo ze swoimi weteranami stał się panem sytuacji. Doprowadził on do detronizacji Liu Biana i zastąpienia go jego młodszym bratem, Liu Xie (189 - 220), i w ciągu kilku następnych miesięcy zabił zarówno cesarzową He, jak i jej syna. Swoją brutalnością Dong Zhuo doprowadził jednak do utworzenia skierowanego przeciwko sobie sojuszu większości pozostałych dowódców armii Hanów, na którego czele stanął Yuan Shao. Ci "lojalni buntownicy" twierdzili, że działają w imieniu ubezwłasnowolnionego cesarza, dążąc jedynie do wyrwania go z rąk Dong Zhuo i przywrócenia należnej mu władzy.

W tej sytuacji Sun Jian zebrał wojska i dołączył do Yuan Shu, kuzyna Yuan Shao, dowodzącego jedną z trzech głównych armii sojuszu, która miała swoją bazę w Luyang w dzisiejszej prowincji Henan. Po drodze Sun Jian zabił Wang Rui, inspektora prowincji Jing, oraz Zhang Zi, wielkiego administratora Nanyangu. Pierwszy z nich niegdyś obraził Sun Jiana, prawdopodobnie czyniąc aluzję do jego niskiego pochodzenia. Kiedy zatem wielki administrator Wuling Cao Yin, również skonfliktowany z Wang Rui, spreparował cesarski rozkaz nakazujący jego egzekucję i wysłał go do Sun Jiana, ten nie badał jego autentyczności, lecz korzystając z okazji podstępnie zaatakował inspektora, ten zaś popełnił samobójstwo. Po przejęciu wojsk zebranych przez Wang Rui Sun Jian wyruszył w dalsza drogę i zachowanie Zhang Zi, przez którego terytorium maszerował, wzbudziło w nim podejrzenia co do jego lojalności wobec sojuszu przeciwników Dong Zhuo. Także jego zatem zabił, przejmując jego żołnierzy. W rezultacie kiedy dotarł on do Yuan Shu stał na czele znacznych sił, według jego biografii liczących dziesiątki tysięcy ludzi, co jednak należy uznać za przesadę.

Yuan Shu mianował go tymczasowym Generałem Dżentelmenów Domostwa (zhonglangjiang) i zarekomendował go na pełniącego obowiązki Generała (jiangjun) i inspektora prowincji Yu. Generał Dżentelmenów Domostwa był dowódcą młodych, szkolących się oficerów oraz gwardii na dworze cesarskim, natomiast takie określenia jak "tymczasowy" czy "pełniący obowiązki" miały oznaczać, że ostatecznego potwierdzenia tych nadań dokona uwolniony cesarz, któremu zostały one "zarekomendowane". Te przydziały oznaczały, iż Sun Jian pod względem swojej władzy zarówno cywilnej, jak i wojskowej, ustępował jedynie samemu Yuan Shu. Sun Jian wyruszył następnie wraz z armią na północ, w kierunku Luoyangu, i wkrótce dotarł do linii przełęczy chroniących stolicę od południa. W tym momencie został on zaatakowany przez armię dowodzoną przez oficerów Dong Zhuo, Xu Ronga i Li Menga, i pokonany musiał uciekać z pola walki chroniąc własne życie. Jeden z członków gwardii przybocznej Sun Jiana, Zu Mao, założył czerwoną czapkę, którą ten zazwyczaj nosił jako oznakę swej godności, i przyciągając tym samym uwagę ścigających umożliwił mu przerwanie linii otaczających go żołnierzy przeciwnika. Niedługo potem siłom Dong Zhuo udało się rozbić także drugą z armii wysłanych przeciwko niemu przez Yuan Shu, która pod dowództwem wielkiego administratora Wang Kuanga zbliżała się do Luoyangu od północnego wschodu.

Zwycięstwo nad Wang Kuangiem okazało się decydujące, jednak zaangażowanie wojsk Dong Zhuo na tym kierunku pozwoliło Sun Jianowi na ponowne zebranie swojej armii i już w marcu 191 roku obozował on niedaleko od miejsca swojej niedawnej porażki, przygotowując się do ponownego ataku na Luoyang. Kiedy zaatakowało go pięć tysięcy ludzi pod dowództwem Hu Zhena i Lü Bu zostali oni kompletnie rozbici. Dong Zhuo wysłał wtedy do niego dwóch wyższych oficerów z propozycją sojuszu, zapewniając iż uczyni on wielkimi administratorami i inspektorami wszystkich krewnych, których ten zarekomenduje. Sun Jian miał jednak odpowiedzieć:
 Dong Zhuo obrócił się przeciwko Niebu i zaprzeczył wszystkim prawom. Zniszczył on dom cesarski i obalił jego władzę. Nie spocznę dopóki nie zabiję was i waszych rodzin, jako znak dla świata. Jak mogę zawrzeć pokój i sojusz z wami?.

Mimo to jego dowódca, Yuan Shu, musiał nie być do końca pewien jego intencji. Kiedy jeden z jego oficerów zasugerował mu, że po zdobyciu Luoyangu Sun Jian może zwrócić się przeciwko niemu, ten odciął zaopatrzenie dla niego. Sun Jian przejechał ponad pięćdziesiąt kilometrów w ciągu jednej nocy by przekonać Yuan Shu, iż ten może mu ufać, i dostawy zostały przywrócone. Być może w ten sposób dowódca Sun Jiana chciał jedynie zademonstrować swoją władzę.

Teraz Sun Jian przekroczył przełęcze i zaatakował Luoyang. Obie armie walczyły pośród grobowców cesarskich, przy czym Dong Zhuo ostatecznie ustąpił z pola, wycofując się w kierunku drogi prowadzącej do Chang'anu. Druga armia pod dowództwem Lü Bu czekała na Sun Jiana pod murami miasta, ale i ona została przez niego pokonana. Było to jednak puste zwycięstwo, ponieważ spustoszona przez żołnierzy Dong Zhuo:

 Dawna stolica była opuszczona i na obszarze kilkuset li nie było żadnego dymu lub ognia [z zamieszkałego domostwa]. Sun Jian wkroczył do miasta, był smutny i płakał.

Co więcej, militarna pozycja Sun Jiana nie była zbyt mocna, ponieważ po tym jak kilka miesięcy temu została zniszczona armia Wang Kuanga walczył on z Dong Zhuo właściwie samotnie, a teraz wojska tego ostatniego, schowane za ufortyfikowanymi pozycjami na drodze do Chang'anu mogły kontratakować w wybranym przez siebie momencie. Dlatego nie mógł on pozostać długo w Luoyangu. Przed swoim odejściem kazał on naprawić splądrowane groby cesarskie i odprawił ceremonie ofiarną na cześć przodków rodu cesarskiego. To wtedy jeden z jego żołnierzy miał odnaleźć Wielką Pieczęć dynastii Han, zagubioną w trakcie masakry eunuchów w pałacu cesarskim. Według Kroniki Trzech Królestw Sun Jian miał zatrzymać pieczęć, która przeszła potem w ręce jego potomków, cesarzy Wu. Jednak według Księgi Późniejszych Hanów w chwili swojej śmierci w roku 199 Yuan Shu miał ją odesłać cesarzowi Xianowi. O wiele bardziej prawdopodobne wydaje się zatem, że odnalezioną pieczęć Sun Jian oddał swojemu dowódcy, kiedy opuścił stolicę i dołączył do jego obozu w Luyangu.

Wojna domowa i śmierć
Podczas gdy Sun Jian walczył o Luoyang, doszło do rozpadu koalicji "lojalnych buntowników". Yuan Shu, który uważał siebie za głowę rodu, był zazdrosny o prestiż jakim cieszył się Yuan Shao jako przywódca sojuszu i zaczął rozpowszechniać plotki, według których ten ostatni nie był członkiem rodziny z urodzenia. Kiedy Yuan Shao dowiedział się o tym, wpadł we wściekłość. On z kolei obawiał się, że nie posiada odpowiedniego terytorialnego zaplecza, stąd na początku roku 191 zaplanował atak na obszary kontrolowane przez Yuan Shu. Wybuch konfliktu pomiędzy tymi dwoma przywódcami sojuszu przeciwko Dong Zhuo doprowadził do jego rozpadu i cała równina północno-chińska stała się areną walki pomiędzy konkurującymi ze sobą dowódcami.

Wycofując się z Luoyangu Sun Jian pozostawił wysunięty oddział w mieście Yangcheng, położonym na południowy wschód od dzisiejszego Dengfengu w prowincji Henan, skąd można było obserwować ewentualne działania podejmowane przez Dong Zhuo z zachodu. Teraz Yancheng został zdobyty przez niespodziewany atak Zhou Yu, dowódcy Yuan Shao. Sun Jian szybko przedsięwziął kontratak na pozycje Zhou Yu, i mimo początkowych niepowodzeń, podczas których zginął m.in. Gongsun Yue, kuzyn Gongsun Zana, rządzącego w położonej na północnym wschodzie prowincji Yue, pokonał Zhou Yu w kilku bitwach. Wtedy Yuan Shu przedsięwziął atak na zajmującego Jiujiang brata Zhou Yu, Zhou Anga, i kiedy Zhou Yu zwrócił się na południowy wschód by pomóc bratu został ponownie pokonany. W rezultacie wycofał się on z walki i powrócił do swojej rodzinnej komanderii Kuaiji na zachodnim wybrzeżu Chin.

W tym czasie Yuan Shao nie tylko przegrywał wojnę z Yuan Shu, ale był także narażony na ataki Gongsun Zana, który winił go za śmierć Gongsun Yue. Żeby przeciwstawić się tym przeciwnikom Yuan Shao zawarł przymierze z Liu Biao, który był inspektorem prowincji Jing, obejmującej komanderię Nanyang, ze stolicą w Wan (dzis. Nanyang), i rozciągającej się dalej na południe na tereny dzisiejszych prowincji Hubei i Hunan. Komanderię Nanyang kontrolował jednak Yuan Shu i sojusz z Yuan Shao dawał Liu Biao nadzieję na jej zajęcie i opanowanie rzeczywiście całej prowincji Jing. W Xiangyangu nad rzeką Han, w pobliżu granicy z terytorium Yuan Shu, Liu Biao skoncentrował armię pod dowództwem Huang Zu i kazał mu zaatakować tereny położone po północnej stronie rzeki. Kiedy jednak pod koniec 191 roku Huang Zu przeprawił się ze swoimi siłami został kompletnie rozbity przez Sun Jiana, który potem ścigał go przez rzekę i otoczył Xiangyang, by zapobiec wejściu jego oddziałów do miasta. Część pozostałości armii Huang Zu znalazła schronienie na wzgórzach zwanych Xian Shan, na południe od Xiangyangu. Sun Jian poprowadził oddział lekkiej kawalerii by je stamtąd wyrzucić i w trakcie tej walki poniósł śmierć.

W źródłach zachowały się nieco różne wersje jego śmierci. Według jednej, zginął on od trafienia strzałą, według innej zaś od uderzenia kamienia, który trafił go w głowę zrzucony ze wzniesienia. W każdym razie wydaje się, iż śmierć spotkała go podczas chaotycznej walki w trakcie nocnego pościgu za nieprzyjacielem. Według Kroniki Trzech Królestw Huan Jie, którego Sun Jian rekomendował cesarzowi, kiedy był wielkim administratorem Changsha, udał się do Liu Biao i poprosił go o wydanie ciała Sun Jiana. Liu Biao zgodził się, ale cała sytuacja wskazuje na to, że ciało Sun Jiana wpadło w ręce przeciwnika. Teraz zostało ono zwrócone rodzinie i pochowane w Qu'a w komanderii Danyang, sąsiadującej od wschodu z rodzinną komanderią rodu Sun.

The Hungarian Civil Liberties Union and the Hungarian Society on Addictions (MAT) cordially invites you to their joint press conference on the amendment of the Penal Code's paragraphs relating to drugs.
The Hungarian Civil Liberties Union and the Hungarian Society on Addictions cordially invites you to their joint press conference on the amendment of the Penal Code's paragraphs relating to drugs.
The HCLU and MAT have turned to the public because:
-in accordance with the 1/2007. decision of the Supreme Court, simple drug users are in the danger of being sentenced to serve serious jail terms (they are sentenced according to the added sum of drugs taken in the past);
-the draft, prepared by Ágnes Frech, President of the Capital Court's Criminal College and supported by a wide range of professionals of the field, carries a solution to this problem.
Even though new amendments have been introduced by almost all governements since 1989, none were successfull in reassuringly adopting the law in accordance with constitutional normatives, public health aspects and European legal harmonization requirements. It is our opinion, that the draft offers a solution to problems which deeply divide decision-makers, politicians and representatives of civil society.
The draft will be presented to the public for the first time by HCLU staff and representatives of the profession during the press conference. Results of the public survey, conducted to study the attitudes of society on drug related issues will also be made public.
The press conference will be held by:
Balázs Dénes, President of the HCLU
Ildikó Ritter, Criminologist
Péter Sárosi, Head of HCLU's Drug Policy Program
Ákos Topolánszky, Member of the Board, MAT
1084, Budapest, Víg u. 28. I.em.3.
11:00 am, January 22nd, 2008
What Is The Problem With The Hungarian Law On Foreign Funded NGOs?
On 13 June 2017, the Hungarian National Assembly (Parliament) adopted the Act LXXVI of 2017 on the Transparency of Organisations Supported from Abroad (hereinafter: the Law). It obliges associations and foundations that receives at least 7.2 million HUF annually from foreign source to register with the court as an organization receiving foreign funding, to annually report about their foreign funding, and to indicate the label "organization receiving foreign funding" on their website and publications. The list of foreign funded NGOs is also published on a government website.
Government decides on totalitarian refugee laws
With the use of the military inside the country and the reclassification of illegal border crossing from an offence to a crime, the government would put in force totalitarian practices before the change of the regime. Therefore, TASZ calls upon the parliamentarians to reject a law which ignores the basic requirements of constitutionality in light of the human rights crisis produced by the high number of refugees.
HCLU Litigates Hungarian Service Providers to Terminate Data Retention
The Hungarian Civil Liberties Union (HCLU) starts litigation against two major service providers in an attempt to force the Hungarian Constitutional Court (CC) to repeal an unlawful act.

Young Kate Browning was beginning to find the strain almost too hard to bear. With her mother Florrie missing, and her spineless father no use at all, it fell to Kate to look after the family. But life in East London at the end of the nineteenth century had never been easy, and with her cruel half-brother Alex becoming more and more difficult, she despaired of ever seeing her beloved mother again.
Her fortunes change when one day, searching for Florrie around the docks, she meets a friendly face in the form of John Kelly, a cheery Irishman who rescues her from a tricky situation. Together with his grandparents, John reminds her how good life can be – and she soon dreams of happiness with him.
Bow Belles is an unputdownable saga from a master of the genre, sure to enthral readers of Dilly Court, Sally Warboyes, and Katie Flynn.
A wonderful interesting novel of life in the Bow part of London. The compelling story of how family life could be back at the end of the 19th century. I couldn't put t down once I started reading it,excellent!
Like all of Anna King's books, I just loved it. Can't get enough of this author.

The Mackinac Bridge Walk is an annual event held every Labor Day since 1958 in Michigan in which people may walk the length of the Mackinac Bridge. Walkers are traditionally led across by the governor of Michigan.
In an average year, 40,000 to 65,000 people participate in the five-mile walk. This is nearly the combined population of the three counties connected by the bridge.

The Labor Day bridge walk is the sole exception to the rule prohibiting pedestrians on the bridge.

History

The walk was started and took place in late June 1958 during the Bridge's dedication ceremony, led by Governor G. Mennen Williams. That first year only 68 people walked across the bridge.  The walk was changed to Labor Day in 1959, and until 1964, participants in the walk alternated north and south in consecutive years.

During the 2007 bridge walk, celebrating the bridge's 50th anniversary, participation was estimated at 60,000 walkers. The record number of walkers is estimated at 85,000 in 1992 when President George H. W. Bush crossed the Mighty Mac.

Starting in 2017, all vehicular traffic on the bridge as well as shipping and boating below, is stopped during the duration of the event. The  2020 edition of the walk was cancelled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; the bridge authority cited logistical hurdles and falling toll revenue as reasons for the cancellation.

Even as a young boy I knew instinctively, that I would later on become a drummer. So, much to the chagrin of my parents, I took the cooking pot and some wooden spoons and begann drumming day in day out.
On my 11th birthday I got my first real drumset and thought: "When I am a grown up, my drumset will be big enough to fill up a rehearsal room. That never happenend until now but I think that it is not necessary at all. Since those days I try to practise every day as long as possible to come close to my idols. As Julian did, I also started taking classes very early.
Since 2002 I am taking drum classes very regularly and my teachers taught me different styles of music (mostly I am into Hardrock and Heavy Metal).
I played in different Rock, Pop and Heavy Metal bands and even in a brass orchestra.

Recall: All Snoqualmie Ice Cream 2014 products
Elizabeth Wiley
KING 5 News
SNOHOMISH, Wash. -- Snoqualmie Ice Cream is recalling all products made between Jan. 1 and Dec. 21, 2014. That includes Snoqualmie Ice Cream, Gelato, Custard, and Sorbet, Emerald & Spruce Ice Cream, and Top Pot Hand Forged Ice Cream.
The products have been recalled due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination. After samples came back Tuesday afternoon, the owner of Snoqualmie Ice Cream said Listeria was found in the ice cream.
Due to the recall, Molly Moon's will close until Dec. 26. The Seattle chain uses Snoqualmie Gourmet's milk and cream in their products, and said in a post they plan to make all new ice creams.
Seattle's Full Tilt also announced plans to pull their dairy products, after the Snoqualmie Gourmet products were recalled.
Full Tilt said on Facebook that their stores would also be closed until Dec. 26th, saying, "None of our ice cream has been contaminated, but to err on the side of caution, we have decided to pull all of our dairy based ice cream."
Full Tilt customers can bring a pint purchased in stores back for a refund or replacement.
Date codes can be found on the bottom of Snoqualmie Ice Cream products. Products affected have a four-digital code that end in 4 or are listed by date.
According to Snoqualmie Ice Cream, they issued a voluntary recall after samples from the production facility tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes.
"Listeria monocytognes is one of the most important foodborne pathogens," said Mansour Samadpour, President of IEH Laboratories.
Samadpour says it can cause symptoms like fever, muscle pain, and fatigue. Certain groups of people are more vulnerable. The elderly, pregnant women, those with weakened immune systems, and the very young could experience severe consequences.
The ice cream has been distributed to local businesses, including Top Pot Donuts and Bartells, as well as retails outlets in 13 other states.
The FDA and Washington State Department of Agriculture know about the recall and are working with Snoqualmie Ice Cream to find the cause of the bacteria.


The Executive Lounge was located at the 29 floor of the hotel. It was beautiful with high ceiling and several nice paintings. It was also spacious and had a boardroom for special occasion or meeting.
Daily evening cocktail were offered between 6pm-8pm serving alcohol, red wine and sparkling wine with some food.
As a Diamond member, we had access to the Executive Lounge. When I was a Gold member previously, I was always granted lounge access too even though Honor's policy stated clearly that it's not a guaranteed access.
We were surprised with the food offering here. One could have easily sorted dinner here by eating a couple more sandwich and rice.
Some nice looking tarts and cakes for the sweet tooth.
We thought these were humus and got excited only to realize that it was just thousand island sauce.
We tried most of the food offered here. Our favorite is the Mini Korean Chicken Burger. The chocolate tart hit the spot too!
During the day, the lounge was a quiet place. We had a black coffee during breakfast and wanted to have another shot of caffeine before we leave. We went up to the lounge. There were only a few guests there and it was pretty quiet. One could have sat there and read a book peacefully.
Coffee, tea and soft drinks were offered all day together with some snacks. Most properties would offer cookies and crackers.
The Hilton Executive Lounge was nice, folks we interacted with were chatty. The evening cocktail were crowded during our stay and the Hilton managed it pretty well with quick turnaround of freshly made food. No complains for a 10,000 Hilton Honor points redemption here.
[Doubletree by Hilton Johor Bahru] The executive lounge at 29th floor serves daily cocktail from 6pm. It was pretty crowded when we were there. We like the pretzel bread and mini chicken burger. It's also a cosy place to admire sunset during a good day. We were there on a rainy day though.
Did you enjoy your lounge access when visiting this Hilton property?

In June of 1940, the Jews of Lithuania were worried. Some had just recently fled from Poland, narrowly escaping Hitler's reach. They had hoped to find in Lithuania a safe haven. But the Soviets had moved to occupy the country and had begun making arrests, confiscating property, and harassing the Jewish population. At the same time, the German threat still loomed. Jews felt trapped between the mouths of two gaping lions and were desperate to leave Europe in search of true safety.
But escape was no simple matter. Britain and America were unwilling to accept more than the usual number of Jewish immigrants. And even those lucky few who could secure visas to travel were running out of time; the Soviet Union had ordered the international consulates in Kaunas, Lithuania's capital, to close. Once the consulates closed, the door to escape would be forever shut.
And so it was that on the morning of July 27, 1940, the Japanese Consul, Chiune Sugihara, looked out the window to see a great crowd of refugees pressed around the gate of the Japanese consulate. Men, women, and children, all desperate for help. They had gone from consulate to consulate without success; Sugihara was their last resort.
The crowd would force Sugihara to make a choice, one between obeying his government and obeying his conscience. What this ordinary man decided to do saved thousands of lives and imparts valuable lessons in heroism and manliness.
Many men wonder if they would have the courage to make the right decision in the midst of a large challenge. The answer is simple…do you have the courage to go your own way in the small decisions of your life? It is the small choices that build your courage backbone and give you the strength needed to make the right choices when truly tested.
Sugihara made the decision to follow his own path as a young man. His father strongly pushed him to become a physician. But Chiune, long interested in foreign cultures, wanted to go to college to study English and perhaps become a teacher. For years, father and son fought over this point of contention. Sugihara's father forced him to take the entrance exam for medical school. Chiune wrote only his name on the test, turned it in, and then went outside to calmly eat from his lunchbox. Sugihara's father was furious when he found out what his son had done. He disowned Chiune, cut off his allowance, and refused to pay for his education.
Sugihara enrolled in Waseda University to study English. He tried to pay his own way by working odd jobs, but it wasn't enough; he was dropped from the school's rolls. Unbowed, he took the exam for working in the Foreign Ministry. His success on the test granted him a scholarship to go to school to learn Russian and become a diplomat.
In Japanese culture, respect for one's elders was paramount, but Sugihara had made the decision to follow the beat of his own drum, and he would continue to do so his whole life.
Sugihara was ever diligent in his studies. He would tie a pen and small bottle of ink to a rope which he looped around his ear, allowing him to take notes wherever he was. It was the precursor to the moleksine! Others laughed at his eccentricity, but when they saw he could memorize whole pages of the Russian dictionary and beat their pants off in exams, they didn't think it was quite as funny.
After graduation, Sugihara rose through the ranks and became Vice Chief of the Foreign Ministry in Manchuria, which the Japanese had conquered and renamed Manchukuo. Tens of thousands of Chinese were murdered as part of this take over, and Sugihara, disgusted at this inhuman treatment and the Japanese military's influence in the government, resigned his position there.
In these smaller choices, Sugihara prepared himself to make the life or death decision that loomed in his near future.
Jews waiting outside the Japanese consulate.
The Japanese Foreign Ministry eventually posted Chiune Sugihara as the Japanese consul in Kaunas, Lithuania. Issuing visas was actually secondary to what was expected of Consul Sugihara in this job; the Japanese government was interested in having him spy on what the Germans and Soviets were up to.
But then came the day when Sugihara awoke to find a large crowd of Jews waiting outside his consulate. These Jews hoped to obtain transit visas which were necessary to leave the Soviet Union and would enable them to stay temporarily in Japan on the way to their final destinations.
Concerning transit visas requested previously STOP. Advise absolutely not to be issued to any traveler not holding firm end visa with guaranteed departure ex Japan STOP. No exceptions STOP. No further inquiries expected STOP. K. Tanaka Foreign Ministry Tokyo.
Sugihara sent another cable and received another denial. He sent another, and again his request was turned down. Some of the refugees had end visas (visas which certified that the country of their final destination would accept them), but most did not. Many also did not meet an additional requirement of having sufficient money to cover travel expenses. Some did not even have a passport. What was Sugihara to do?
The consul could not ignore the imploring faces of the people outside his gate. He consulted with wife and made the decision to disobey his government's orders. He knew what the consequences of his action would be-he would surely be dismissed from his position when found out, and was placing he and his family in danger. The Japanese government could try and execute him for insubordination, and the Soviets and Germans could both retaliate as well. But Sugihara decided he was morally obligated to risk his future to save these human lives. He told the crowd outside the consulate that he would issue visas to each and every one of them.
It is easy to make a choice, harder to stick with it.
Sugihara could have issues a few dozen visas and been done with it, feeling that he had done his duty. The Soviets had ordered him to close the consulate, and now the Japanese government was also instructing him to do so.
But while Sugihara issued as many visas a day as he could, the crowd outside his consulate grew instead of shrunk. Word had spread that the Japanese consul was giving visas to one and all, and Jews from miles around journeyed to Kaunas for his life saving stamp, sleeping on the sidewalk as they waited to see Chiune. Sugihara could not turn away from them. He requested an extension from the Soviets, and they allowed the consulate to stay open until August 28th.
For weeks, Sugihara worked 18-20 hours a day issuing visas, rarely even breaking for meals. It was a painstaking process as each visa had to be written out in complex Japanese longhand and recorded in a log book. Sugihara's tired eyes were rimmed with dark circles and his hand was sore and cramped. But the crowd did not diminish, and he continued to work. Despite the great burden he labored under, the refugees all remember his aura of kindness, how he looked at each of them in the eye and smiled as he handed them their visa.
When he was finally forced to leave, he decided he needed to stay a night at a nearby hotel to rest and gather his strength before boarding the train to Berlin. But he left the refugees a note telling them which hotel he'd be staying at, and they followed him there. He was deeply weary, but instead of retiring to his room, he sat in the hotel lobby and continued to issues visas. He no longer had his official stamps but wrote the visas anyway in the hope they'd be accepted. Stationed in the lobby, he carried on for several days until finally he had to depart for the train station. He asked those who remained for their forgiveness and deeply bowed to them.
The refugees followed him once more. As the train sat in the station, Sugihara wrote as many visas as he could, handing them out the train window to the many outstretched hands. As the train lurched forward he threw his official stationery out the window in hopes it could be put to use. As the crowd receded from view, the faces of those left behind filled his heart with sorrow.
Ten months after Sugihara left Kaunas, the Germans took over Lithuania. The Jews who hadn't gotten Sugihara visas were almost certainly killed. From a prewar population of 235,000, only 4,000-6,000 Lithuanian Jews remained alive after the war.
Sugihara had been taught as a child not to expect rewards for goodness, and for much of the rest of his life, none were forthcoming.
Sugihara was moved to Berlin and was then stationed in Prague. There he was asked to send to Japan a full report of his work in Kaunas, including the number of visas he issued. He did not flinch from giving an honest accounting; he had issued 2,193 visas, although the number is closer to 6,000, as one visa would be given to the head of the household but would cover the entire family. He and wife anxiously waited for the axe to fall. Sugihara did so stoically, never showing his family the fear he lived with (he even continued to issue visas to Jews while in Prague).
After the war, the Soviets placed the Sugihara family in a series of internment camps before finally allowing them to return to Japan. Upon their return, the repercussions of what Chiune had done in Lithuania finally caught up with him. He was summoned to the Foreign Ministry and told that because of what he had down in Kaunas, they had no position available for him and that he should resign.
After a life of luxury as a diplomat, Sugihara was now on his own, jobless in ravaged postwar Japan. Soon after this forced resignation, Sugihara's youngest son, who had weakened during their time in the internment camps, took sick and passed away. In short order, Sugihara had lost his prestigious position and his child. His life was spared, but for a Japanese man, the pain of losing face was absolutely devastating. Much of the buoyant warmth that had marked Chiune's younger self seeped away.
Jobs were scarce in post-war Japan. But Sugihara did what he had to to support his family. Initially, the only job he could get was selling light bulbs door to door and working in a supermarket. The family scraped by. Later he was able to put his Russian to use, working in Moscow for a trading company. He never regretted his actions for a moment, but the consequences of those actions weighed heavily on this ordinary man.
Near the end of his life, Sugihara was recognized for his courageous decision and was named by Israel as one of the Righteous Among the Nations and visited and thanked by some of the Jews who survived the war because of his life-savings visas.
Sugihara's mother had come from a long line of samurai, and his upbringing was influenced by the Bushido code. He was taught to live with duty, honor, and dignity and to not only die bravely, but to live courageously. Because this one, single man chose to follow that code, it is estimated that 40,000 descendants of those given visas are alive today.
Sugihara may have sought to downplay the heroism in following one's conscience, but it is perhaps the bravest, most vital thing a man can do.


Zombies, famously, are the living dead and a zombie household is one which is kept in being only by the current economic life support machine of ultra-low interest rates and 'forbearance' by mortgage lenders and other credit institutions.
Nightmare: are you a zombie household?
Financial Mail has talked to debt advisors and compiled this quick checklist for anyone fearing they may be joining the ranks of the zombies.
1) Do you have an interest-only mortgage and are unable to repay the capital sum?
(c) I'm heading that way.
2) Do you make only the minimum payment on your credit-card statement?
(c) I'm going to have to before too long.
3) Do you use payday loans to buy household essentials?
(c) Not yet, but it is only a matter of time.
4) If you borrowed to pay for last year's holiday, are you still paying off the debt as you head for the sun this year?
(c) No, but it is a distinct possibility after this year's holiday.
5) If you borrowed to pay for Christmas, are you still paying the debt after Easter?
(c) I'll tell you after Easter.
6) If you subtract your housing costs (rent or mortgage) from your take-home pay, are your unsecured debts more than 1.5 times the sum that is left?
(c) I'd rather not work it out.
If you answered all or mostly (a): sorry, but you're probably a financial zombie.
If you answered all or mostly (b): congratulations, you are probably still in the land of the financial living.
The good news for those stuck in the interest-only trap is that for many there is still time to do something.
That is why This is Money has built our interest-only mortgage timebomb calculator. Its aim is to serve as a wake-up call to those not repaying their mortgages and with no plan of how they will do so.
We have been warning borrowers about this for many years, as these articles from 2006 and 2009 highlight.
Simply hoping house prices rise is not enough, after all you will still need somewhere to live and if you sell your home to clear a mortgage you will either have to move to a much smaller property or become a renter – probably at the same time as your income drops in retirement.
Borrowers in this position should either get a solid investment or savings plan and stick to it, or move to a repayment mortgage.
Moving to an offset mortgage and starting saving into it rigidly can also work.
If you cannot afford the one-off hit of moving to a repayment mortgage, moving to one for at least part of your loan at least starts clearing your debt.
This calculator shows borrowers with no plan to repay an interest-only loan, or whose investments have fallen short, how much extra you may have to find if your lender forced you on to a repayment mortgage.
Enter the amount still owed on your mortgage to find out how much a move to a repayment mortgage could cost you.

The TA3F-B from Remote Audio is a slim and durable 3-pin female mini-XLR connector with gold contacts for maintaining a high-quality signal path. The connector has a black finish to match most commonly used cables. The crimp strain relief helps minimize internal solder joint failures and the connector design supports wire diameters up to 4.8mm.
TA3F-B 3-Pin Female Mini-XLR Connector (Straight Connector, Black) is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 3.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Noivad from Works as advertised I got this to create an adapter for my AKG K191-DJ headphone, so I could plug them into the Kanex AirBlue I also got from B&H. Thus plug is constructed to pro-level quality, not prosumer where they gouge you, but true pro-quality. ( I know because I have done professional AV production.) Making the cable was easy enough: I could have done it but I have a friend more versed in cable construction. So we got AKG's service manual and gutted an old sony cloth wrapped 3.5mm headphone cable for the other end, cut the cable down to a few inches and made it in no time. (3 solder joints, although very tiny, do not take long.) I am planning to buy another one for a Female version to try out other Bluetooth adapters that have a male 3.5mm plug, since we still have the female end of the 3.5mm sony cable. So, yes I would buy it again and recommend to a friend: top notch product!
Rated 4 out of 5 by Midnight Taco from Easy soldering This connector is solid and was easy to assemble. I recommend!


Gary Sinise & the LT Dan Band!
Last night we headed out to see Gary Sinise (LT Dan from Forest Gump & Mac Taylor from CSI NY) & the LT Dan Band! What a fantastic night this turned out to be. I have always heard good things about Gary Sinise, and have enjoyed watching him on CSI NY, but to see him in person and hear the way he talked about our military and how he supports our military, I must say I am a HUGE fan now!
Sinise performs for charities and non-profits like the USO (which is how we saw him last night) and Operation Iraqi Children, they frequently visit military post in the US and abroad. "Sinise is a passionate supporter of troops who believes that support requires more than a flag or a bumper sticker and is now helping to build a memorial to America's three million living disabled military veterans."
Boy 3 and I enjoying the concert.
And after a couple more songs, he did just that! He wished my boy a happy birthday from the stage! At first Boy 1 was mortified, but when his friends were totally impressed and gave me the 'cool mom award' he was pretty happy!
My girlfriend L finagled her way onto stage...this picture was taken right before that guy in the white shirt escorted her off the stage.
See the guy over my right shoulder? He just knocked my cup of 'grape juice' down my shirt. Nice, now I look like white trash...great! I thought about going home to change my shirt, but instead I did decide to just turn my shirt around (in true white trash form). Now it looks like some drunk ran into me from behind.
Many thanks to Gary Sinise, the LT Dan Band & the USO for a great night of free fun for all of us here in Yongsan, South Korea!
WOW - "L" is brave - great shot!! Sounds like a WONDERFUL time.
Happy Birthday Boy 1!!! What a great time to be 13!!!


Santa Monica is a beachfront city in western Los Angeles County, California, United States. Situated on Santa Monica Bay, it is bordered on three sides by the city of Los Angeles – Pacific Palisades to the north, Brentwood on the northeast, Sawtelle on the east, Mar Vista on the southeast, and Venice on the south. The Census Bureau population for Santa Monica in 2010 was 89,736.
Due in part to an agreeable climate, Santa Monica became a famed resort town by the early 20th century. The city has experienced a boom since the late 1980s through the revitalization of its downtown core, significant job growth and increased tourism. The Santa Monica Pier remains a popular and iconic destination.
The city of Santa Monica rests on a mostly flat slope that angles down towards Ocean Avenue and towards the south. High bluffs separate the north side of the city from the beaches. Santa Monica borders the L.A. neighborhoods of Pacific Palisades to the north and Venice to the south. To the west, Santa Monica has the 3-mile coastline fronting the Santa Monica Bay, and to the east of the city borders are the Los Angeles communities of West Los Angeles and Brentwood.
Santa Monica is governed by the Santa Monica City Council, a Council-Manager governing body with seven members elected at-large. The current mayor is Ted Winterer.
In the California State Legislature, Santa Monica is in the 26th Senate District, represented by Democrat Ben Allen, and in the 50th Assembly District, represented by Democrat Richard Bloom.
In the United States House of Representatives, Santa Monica is in California's 33rd congressional district, represented by Democrat Ted Lieu.
The Santa Monica Looff Hippodrome (carousel) is a National Historic Landmark. It sits on the Santa Monica Pier, which was built in 1909. The La Monica Ballroom on the pier was once the largest ballroom in the US and the source for many New Year's Eve national network broadcasts. The Santa Monica Civic Auditorium was an important music venue for several decades and hosted the Academy Awards in the 1960s. McCabe's Guitar Shop is still a leading acoustic performance space as well as retail outlet. Bergamot Station is a city-owned art gallery compound that includes the Santa Monica Museum of Art. The city is also home to the California Heritage Museum and the Angels Attic dollhouse and toy museum.
Santa Monica has three main shopping districts, Montana Avenue on the north side, the Downtown District in the city's core, and Main Street on the south end. Each has its own unique feel and personality. Montana Avenue is a stretch of luxury boutique stores, restaurants, and small offices that generally features more upscale shopping. The Main Street district offers an eclectic mix of clothing, restaurants, and other specialty retail.
The Downtown District is the home of the Third Street Promenade, a major outdoor pedestrian-only shopping district that stretches for three blocks between Wilshire Blvd. and Broadway (not the same Broadway in downtown and south Los Angeles). Third Street is closed to vehicles for those three blocks to allow people to stroll, congregate, shop and enjoy street performers. Santa Monica Place, featuring Bloomingdale's and Nordstrom in a three-level outdoor environment, is at the Promenade's southern end. After a period of redevelopment, the mall reopened in the fall of 2010 as a modern shopping, entertainment and dining complex with more outdoor space.
The city's oldest movie theater is the Majestic. Opened in 1912 and also known as the Mayfair Theatre, the theater, it has been closed since the 1994 Northridge earthquake. The Aero Theater (now operated by the American Cinematheque) and Criterion Theater were built in the 1930s and still show movies. The Santa Monica Promenade alone supports more than a dozen movie screens.

Jazz pianist and keyboard player Craig Taborn began working professionally in the 1990s in a variety of musical contexts, ranging from more straight-ahead jazz to more outside music, with young jazz musicians, seasoned veterans, and even techno artists. In his hometown of Minneapolis, Taborn studied piano, composition, and music theory with area university professors before going away to college. Before he graduated from college, Taborn had already performed on three recordings as a member of the James Carter Quartet. After graduating with a liberal arts degree from the University of Michigan in 1995, DIW released Taborn's first date as a leader, The Craig Taborn Trio. He then moved to N.Y.C., and by the close of the '90s, he performed on two more Carter releases; Roscoe Mitchell's 1999 ECM release, Nine to Get Ready; Detroiter Carl Craig's techno-jazz project, Innerzone Orchestra; and Hugh Ragin's Afternoon in Harlem. His second album, Light Made Lighter was a piano trio date for Thirsty Ear in 2001.
Over the next decade, Taborn became one of the most in-demand musicians in New York. Although his time with James Carter would come to a close, the Roscoe Mitchell and Hugh Ragin projects continued and Taborn formed another longstanding collaboration with Tim Berne. He also played in projects for Drew Gress, Chris Potter, Dave Douglas, and Mat Maneri on the jazz side as well as serving as a hired gun for Bill Laswell and Meat Beat Manifesto. In 2004, he issued Junk Magic on the Thirsty Ear label, turning away from the traditional piano trio and incorporating all kinds of electronic elements. Junk Magic is now generally recognized a watershed album for jazz meets electronica. The late 2000s saw continued work with Berne in a number of groups (including with David Torn) and albums for David Binney, Eivind Opsvik, and old college bandmate Gerald Cleaver.
In 2007, he did an album with fellow Minnesotans Dave King (Bad Plus, Happy Apple) and Greg Norton (Hüsker Dü) as Gang Font. His involvement on a number of ECM releases at the close of the decade (David Torn, Roscoe Mitchell, Evan Parker, and Michael Formanek) caught the ear of Manfred Eicher and Taborn was signed to ECM Records. His first album of solo piano, Avenging Angel, was released in 2011. That same year he, bassist William Parker, and Cleaver formed a trio called Farmers by Nature; they recorded Out of This World's Distortions for AUM Fidelity. Chants, Taborn's second album for ECM, was released in April of 2013.
