Weiße Rose Pavement Memorial
These bronze pamphlets remember a remarkable group of Germans who fearlessly opposed the Nazis in the very center of their power.

Top Places in Munich
Viscardigasse
Umschreibung
It's not difficult to find vestiges of Third Reich history in Munich - after all, the city served as the NSDAP's official and ideological stronghold for years leading up to World War II. However, tourists are only rarely told the story of the Weiße Rose (White Rose), a group of student rebels led by siblings Hans and Sophie Scholl, who practiced non-violent resistance and were later executed by the Nazi authorities. Today, the Scholl siblings are probably Germany's best known domestic resistance activists during WWII, though they are little known outside their home country.
Most White Rose members were students at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, one of Germany's oldest and most highly regarded universities. Most of the members had previously been members of the Hitler Jugend or the Bund Deutscher Mädel, and their exposure to Nazi policies and ideologies gradually led them to reject the tenets of National Socialism being imposed upon German youth at the time. The group's actions consisted mostly of distributing inflammatory leaflets to the German intelligentsia, as well as spreading political graffiti throughout Munich and other southern German cities.
On February 18, 1943, members of the White Rose, including the Scholl siblings, distributed leaflets in the university's main atrium (which now contains the White Rose Organ as well as a small museum dedicated to the group located beneath the largest lecture hall of the university), and were arrested by the Gestapo and interrogated. They were executed by guillotine beheading on February 22. However, their final leaflet was successfully smuggled to Allied troops and later dropped out of planes across Germany, leading to posthumous recognition of the group's activities and heroism in the postwar era.
There are several memorials to the White Rose scattered throughout Munich, though the most powerful reminder of their deeds can be found embedded in the cobblestone pavement in front of the university building where the founding members were originally arrested. Bronze replicas of White Rose leaflets are scattered haphazardly across the sidewalk - Sophie Scholl is said to have thrown her remaining leaflets into the air upon spotting the Gestapo coming to arrest them. The square in which the memorial can be found now bears the name "Geschwister-Scholl-Platz" ("Scholl Siblings Square"), and a bust of Sophie Scholl can also be found inside the law school atrium. Though rarely traversed by most tourists visiting the city, the square and its memorials serve as a chilling yet inspiring reminder of the ideological strife that divided Germany during the Third Reich era.

It has also been one of the many driving forces and motivations for On The Block to change the way real estate is bought and sold in Ontario.
With homes regularly being "Sold Over Asking," what does the phrase really mean?
In 2016, out of a total of 17,862 homes sold in Toronto, 6,583 sold over asking, or 37 per cent. Markham had the second-highest numbers, Richmond Hill third.
The number of freehold homes, which include detached, semis and townhomes, that sold by at least 10 per cent over asking last year clocked in at 16,000 in the GTA -- up more than 160 per cent from 2015. That's 1 in 5 (22 per cent).
Likewise the number of GTA freeholds that sold by at least 20 per cent over asking reached 4,800 or six per cent -- up more than 251 per cent from 2015.
Traditionally priced homes in the GTA are becoming few and far between. In a market where inventory is low and demand is high, prospective buyers are bound to see higher than normal prices. The homes in the aforementioned news headlines both sold for market value.
"Up market" or "Down market", it's all relative, and it doesn't matter - because sellers and listing agents are loving this flurry of fruitful activity.
In many cases, realtors and their seller clients are strategically pricing their homes competitively and letting a property go to the open market to create a sense of affordability and desire. This makes the terms "asking price" and "listing price" irrelevant. Case in point: Some realtors are listing their properties at $1, so those will obviously sell over asking. Further, introducing terms such as "holding back" and "offer date" have become the new normal, creating an auction-like setting for prospective buyers, which leads to the coveted "Sold Over Asking" designation.
On one hand, sellers and listing agents are loving it, as they are obtaining record-setting prices for homes in record-setting times. It's important to remember that despite a 'flattening' of pricing in recent months, homes in hot areas continue to set offer dates, and price misleadingly low.
Prospective homeowners hoping to buy, however, are faced with largely stressful, emotional experiences in which many end up empty-handed. Many just don't offer at all.
When individuals are ready to submit an offer, there are many different types of buyers they might be competing against. There is the buyer who might have just begun looking, who submits an offer under asking. This unfortunately drives up the purchase price, as they appear to be competition. There are usually a couple of strong offers over asking, some with conditions and some without, and these are probably in and around the true market value of the home.
Sometimes, one of the offers is substantially higher than that of the closest competitor. That offer can be $10,000, $25,000, $50,000 and in some rare circumstances in excess of $100,000 more than the next highest offer, usually with no conditions, or what we call a "firm deal." This buyer is not just any buyer, but the "Right Buyer."
If you are a prospective buyer, choose to work with a realtor who will leave no stone unturned.
Elsewhere in the world, like in Australia for example, agents choose between arranging a traditional offer or hosting an open auction. Just like an art auction the house goes up for sale with a starting price, and a crowd openly auctions for it. Everyone can hear what the top bid is, and the choice is theirs if they want to go higher. Having a system like this could certainly end the hysteria and the act of overpaying for a property. The Right Buyer would have to outbid his or her competition, but would know by exactly how much, so we probably wouldn't see someone outbid their closest competitor by ridiculous amounts, as they wouldn't have to.
Would something like this work in Toronto? On The Block thinks so, and it's about time to give Ontario some choice. It isn't about whether the market is 'hot', 'cold', 'cooling', 'a bubble' or a goldmine', the key is that the market has been dictated for buyers and sellers by fictitious figures and a nontransparent system. Opening it all up means buyers aren't scared away, and fair competition will rule.
If you are a prospective buyer, pay attention to comparable properties that have sold, ask a lot of questions, and don't feel like you are being rushed. If you aren't comfortable, there is a reason for that. Circumstances are different for anyone, for a purchase this important, you shouldn't become the "Right Buyer" by virtue of coercion or unreasonable deadlines.

Horror is that dime a dozen film genre where there is maybe one out of a hundred exceptional films. It's a genre that can be experimented with by wannabe filmmakers trying to make a name for themselves, but very few succeed in making a career out of them that people actually like. You can name the few that do it with consistency and I think by now we can add Alexandre Aja to that list. Because Crawl is really quite exceptional.
The premise of Crawl sounds as if it's been made before, but it's original. The plot sounds ridiculous, of a gator film in a hurricane. And yet, we are carefully pulled into the story feeling the claustrophobic spaces in the basement as our two protagonists try to outrun and outsmart gators. Even when the ridiculous, and I mean ridiculous third act begins we buy it because the filmmaker cared to make us really believe this world in the beginning. Crawl is a tense film that will inflict jump scare after jump scare on you. It was a great experience when I saw this on the big screen with an audience that was screaming, and it worked just as well again at home.
Apart from the horror, the story surrounds an estranged father and daughter relationship. The daughter was a champion diver trained by her father to go the distance, but we see that in time the coaching seemed to strain their relationship and she doesn't seem him until he is in life-threatening danger during the hurricane. This gives us people to care about, which is the hardest thing for most horror movies to give an audience.
I hope we get more monster films like this that have so much care attached to them. If you happen to catch the special features on the Blu-ray disc you will find the set is almost entirely practical, which blows my mind as I thought for sure it would require plenty of CGI. I recommend checking it out when you're next looking for a monster movie.

Keel laid for US Navy's Arleigh Burke-class destroyer Ted Stevens
The ceremony involved the assembly of the ship's modular components at land level.

Huntington Ingalls Industries' (HII) Ingalls Shipbuilding division has held the keel laying and authentication of the US Navy's 78th Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, the future USS Ted Stevens (DDG 128).
During the ceremony, the initials of the ship's sponsor Catherine Stevens were etched into a keel plate.
The event involved the assembly of the modular components of DDG 128 at land level.
The future USS Ted Stevens is named after late senator Ted Stevens, the longest-serving Republican US Senator from Alaska.
Ted Stevens, a Flight III destroyer, features both offensive and defensive capabilities and can conduct anti-air warfare (AAW), anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and anti-surface warfare (ASuW) missions.
The DDG 51 Flight III upgrade is focused on the ADMR/SPY-6 (V)1 Air and Missile Defense Radar (ADMR) system, as well as electrical power and cooling capacity updates.
The upgrades and other development work of the DDG 51 class ships is being monitored by the Program Executive Office (PEO) Ships, the largest acquisition unit of the US Department of Defense (DoD).
PEO Ships DDG 51 class ship programme manager captain Seth Miller said: "The Flight III upgrade fulfils a critical need for the Navy.
"Flight III ships like the future USS Ted Stevens will serve as a deterrent to our adversaries using the ship's increased power projection capability as a result of the upgraded AEGIS Combat System and Air and Missile Defence Radar.
"We are honoured to have the Stevens family with us today as we mark this important milestone in building the Navy's and the nation's next great warship."
Meanwhile, Ingalls Shipbuilding is working on the production of the future USS Jack H Lucas (DDG 125), USS Lenah Sutcliffe Higbee (DDG 123), USS George M Neal (DDG 131) and USS Jeremiah Denton (DDG 129).

In April this year, Amsterdam announced plans to build a new technological research institute. The city simultaneously launched a competition offering universities across the globe the chance to be a part of the project.
In the last few months, over a dozen international universities have submitted applications. The competing institutions include Columbia University, MIT, Stanford, the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and TU Delft.
Judges have now created a shortlist of the five proposals which they want to see further developed, and one of these plans will be chosen as a final template for the new university.
The new institution will be a technology research institute, although its specifics will depend on the outcome of this competition. Its primary focus will be urban issues such as energy usage, health care and waste management.
The university is planned as a collaborative project, which will unite the sphere of education and that of (inter)national business, represented by companies such as Shell, Heineken and the BBC.
Preliminary ideas currently being discussed include plans for a "training ground" where urban issues can be designed and tested, as well as an institution dedicated wholly to fostering investment in sustainable energy.

Medtronic to buy Covidien for US$42.9 billion
money.jpg
The acquisition will allow Medtronic to expand into new areas especially the weight-loss surgery and laparoscopic markets
Medtronic has agreed to buy Dublin-based, Covidien, for US$42.9 billion (£25.27 billion) and shift its executive headquarters to Ireland. According to analysts, the cash and stock deal will allow Medtronic to reduce its overall global tax burden, which is currently 18 percent, although the company emphasised the acquisition led by a complementary strategy with Covidien on medical technology, rather than tax considerations.
"The real purpose of this, in the end, is strategic, both in the intermediate term and the long term," said Medtronic Chief Executive Omar Ishrak. "It is good for the US in that we will make more investment in US technologies, which previously we could not."
The merger of Medtronic, the world's largest stand-alone medical device maker with a market value of over US$60 billion, and Covidien will create a close competitor in size to the medical device business of industry leader Johnson & Johnson, the parent company of Ethicon. The acquisition will allow Medtronic to expand into new areas especially the weight-loss surgery and laparoscopic markets.
The deal values each Covidien share at US$93.22, paid for by US$35.19 in cash and 0.956 Medtronic shares.
The combination, which will leave Covidien shareholders owning about 30 percent of the combined company, is expected to result in at least US$850 million of annual pre-tax cost by the end of 2018. Medtronic said it would keep its operational headquarters in Minneapolis and pledged US$10 billion in US technology investments over the next decade.
Medtronic's deal with Covidien is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2014 or early 2015. The combined business will have more than 87,000 employees in more than 150 countries.

Want to order prints, downloads or other products? Here are the answers to our most common questions, including a walk-through of how to order your portraits step by step.
Can I see your price list?
I don't like websites or paying online; can I order offline?
Do you ship photos to other countries?
Will my photos be retouched or edited? What if I have a special request?
How long does it take to get my order? What if I'm in a rush?
The photo samples look too pale (or dark) on my screen; what do I do?
Can I still order more even if my gallery is gone?
I want something but I don't see it here. Can you help?
Summary: First, sign in or enter the gallery code. Purchasing options will then appear beside or under your images. Click the different tabs for different product types. The menu icon shows more info about a product; the shopping cart icon adds that product to your order. Click "My Cart" at the top of the window to review, change or remove items.
First of all, please make sure you either Log In or Create an Account to enable all the features of our website. This allows you to save your favourite images, and it helps the computer remember your choices if you step away or accidentally close the browser window.
Now comes the fun part! Enjoy looking through your photos and choosing your favourite images. Mark the best ones by clicking the Favourite icon. On a computer or wide-screen tablet, you can click the Compare icon above two or three photos to view them all on screen at the same time.
As you look through your photos, take a minute to think about your family or friends who would also like copies. Remember, they are excited about this milestone too, and may want a copy of your portrait more than you expect!
To open the shopping area, scroll through your gallery to a photo you like and click the Shopping Basket icon. Computer users can also just click an image in the thumbnail gallery to open the images in full screen.
The product area has has several categories which appear as tabs or buttons at the very top of the product list. Click through the different categories until you see something that your mom would love to have! :-) When you tap on a product name, it will open up a better description of the product or package to help you decide if you want it.
TIP: We suggest using a computer rather than a mobile device for ordering your photos. The wider screen allows you to view both your selected photo and the product you are ordering at the same time.
Once you have found something you would like to purchase, just click the Add to Cart button and you're set! In some cases, you will be asked to confirm or select some product options (such as the colour of the frame you want) - just follow the prompts. We have tried to make the instructions clear for each step, but if anything is confusing please contact us directly and we will do our best to help.
Most users will start with the Package Offers, where you can choose some of the pre-made packages that are typically less expensive than purchasing the items separately. You can even create your own "Just Right" package if you would like to customize the contents.
Most packages will be displayed initially with the price and a menu icon showing. Click this icon to expand a description of the package contents and available options.
When you click "Add to Cart" you will see a window with further instructions. (Click "Continue".) As you browse through the photos now, you will see options along the side of your screen allowing you to add the displayed photo to your package. Find a photo you wish to order, then click the checkmark beside the product you would like created from that image.
As you add items, they will be displayed at the bottom of the list - underneath the package contents that have still not been completed. If you change your mind, scroll down and click the "X" to reset that item. Once you have added all items, you will see a message that "This package is complete!"
Do you need a few more? Once you have added products to your package, you will also be given the option to add a few more items to your package. When you add more prints from the same images, the extra prints will be discounted significantly from their regular price.
Once you've selected the items you want (or at any point along the way) you can click "View Cart" to review your order. The Shopping Cart area just shows what items you've selected and includes options to "Remove" any item you don't want, or "Empty Cart" to start over entirely. A subtotal also shows at the bottom of your screen.
Click "Proceed to Checkout" for the next step.
When you're ready to complete your order, click "Checkout" at the top of your screen. Here we will summarize the costs of your order, verify your address and shipping choices, and collect your payment.
Coupon Code: Coupons for SUB Photo products are most often single-use coupons given in special situations. If you purchased an auction item or perhaps received a code from us, enter it here.
Billing Address: Please verify your address and other contact information.
Shipping Address: By default, this is the same as your Billing Address. If you want your package shipped using a different name or address, please un-check the "Ship to Billing Address" box and enter the alternate information here.
Add Message to this order: This is a great place to add any comments for our retouching artists or orders department.
Shipping: Your order will typically be shipped by regular mail or parcel post. We use Canada Post for most deliveries, whether local or international. Note that the prices listed here are calculated based on both the address you provide in the previous step and the products you order. You may also choose to pick up your order from our studio at the University of Alberta.
Payment: Our payments are processed by PayPal, a trusted company with a long history of providing secure online payments. You may use your PayPal account to complete this transaction if you wish, but a PayPal account is NOT required. On their payment screen, look for a link to allow you to proceed without an account.
What if my card isn't accepted? On rare occasions a credit card may be declined by PayPal; this is not always due to a problem with your card (but please do check that all the numbers were typed correctly). PayPal has some restrictions on certain types of cards, so if you are having issues you can call or visit our studio to arrange payment. We can accept your payment through our terminal and then give you a method to complete your photo order.
Of course, we'd be happy to give you a preview of our prices. You can visit a full live demo gallery by entering the code DEMO1 into the "Find My Photos" box on our home page.
If you prefer to order your photos by another method, you can also choose to order by regular mail, fax, or telephone. You can also complete your shopping cart on our website, but then visit us to make your payment. Contact us for order assistance by calling us at 780-288-8002.
If you have any trouble at all with placing an order, or you wish to pay in person for your photos, please contact us! We will be happy to assist in any way we can.
Yes we do! Shipping to many countries can be automatically calculated when you enter your shipping address at the checkout stage; but if you have any questions please contact us and we can ensure you get your portrait delivery.
While we do use PayPal's services to process your payment, you do NOT need to create an account with them. When you enter the payment area there will be a link allowing you to proceed without setting up an account.
Yes they will. On all our printed photo products, retouching or "touch ups" are already included in the price. This means that your photo will be examined by our artist and issues like skin blemishes, shine, wrinkles and "tired eyes" will be touched up so you look your very best. This process also includes careful colour balancing and a double-check to make sure your portraits are centered and printed just right.
If you have special requests for our retouching artists, there is an area in the checkout window to add notes to your order. You could mention things you do NOT want edited, or small adjustments that you'd like to ensure are made.
For those times when you want something extra, take a look at our Enhanced Retouching option. For a small extra fee we can work a lot of magic with Photoshop.
How long does it take to get photos? What if I'm in a rush?
If you have chosen for us to ship your portraits, you can expect to receive your package in about 8 weeks by Canada Post. Larger photo orders (11x14" size prints and up) are usually delivered as parcels, so you may need to watch for a delivery notice if you are not always home during the day. If you chose to have photos brought in to our studio, you will receive an email or a telephone call when the package is ready for you, between 6 and 8 weeks from your order date.
In a hurry? Check out our Rush Fee option in the store area. Paying this extra fee will cut the delivery time significantly, but is subject to availability and may be affected by the contents of your order.
The photo samples look too pale (or dark); what do I do?
The most common reason for this is the screen you are viewing your portraits on; with laptops and mobile devices you can see how changing the screen brightness dramatically affects the look of your photos. When it comes to your final portraits, however, we have total confidence in our retouching artists and our lab to create a great final product. Photos are all edited for colour and brightness as part of the process; but if you are in any way unhappy with the final prints we will gladly redo them at no charge.
Rest assured, we never delete your photos! While our online galleries do expire after a few months, our photo archive is permanent: your portraits are backed up carefully and photos taken years ago can still be retrieved. If your online gallery has expired but you'd like to see them again, please just contact us and we will set it up again.
I want something that I don't see here.
That can happen! There are more photo products on the market than we could ever highlight here - and we've produced everything from mouse pads to custom bobble heads over the years. If you have something you'd really love to make from your photos please let us know; we will do what we can to get it for you.


An independent school for boys and girls aged from 2 to 11.
Children, she says 'are wonderful and curious and the best bit about humans.' She simply loves working with them and her career in teaching was preordained, from when she used to line up her teddies in her pretend classroom to having a mum and two aunts who are all teachers. We liked this head almost instantly (the aroma of the warm pain au chocolates and coffee we were offered did nothing to change our mind). With her wonderfully posh name, Mrs Connor-Earl is all the things you would hope the head of a cosy independent girls' school to be - understated and elegant, straight up but with a twinkle or two. Her girls would probably like to be her one day, and the parents would secretly like to be her mate.
A committed Catholic, she is married and has one son. Enjoys family skiing holidays, cooking and renovating her house in Brittany. She has successfully completed the 110km London to Brighton cycle challenge and raised over £3,000 for charity.
All year groups are oversubscribed and prospective parents are encouraged to register as early as possible. Non-selective academically. Places go first to siblings, then to Catholics. Family-orientated ethos means that other faiths and cultures are also warmly welcomed. Nursery arrangements are particularly parent friendly. Children are admitted from 2 years 9 months and can stay to lunch or all afternoon with minimum notice. Boys make up a third of nursery entrants. A few further places for girls often become available in year 3. Some full bursaries available.
Plenty of offers from leading academic secondary schools, with several scholarships. Large numbers to South Hampstead and Channing, followed by Francis Holland NW1 and Highgate. Others to eg City of London, Queen's College, North London Collegiate and St Paul's Girls, or to state grammar schools (St Michael's, Henrietta Barnett) or boarding (Queenswood, St Mary's Ascot). Secondary school advice is a strength, starting with individual parent meetings in year 5. 'Parents trust us and listen to what we recommend', says the school. Boys leave by the age of 6, many to neighbouring Catholic prep, St Anthony's, others to Devonshire House, UCS, Hereward House, Habs, Highgate or The Hall.
Founded in 1871 by the Congregation of Jesus, the school moved in 1926 to its present site, a spacious turn-of-the century building with polished mosaic floors and vast country-like gardens. Against this gracious period backdrop, facilities are thoroughly up to date, with a super new science lab, a large, bright assembly hall and a well-stocked library. Significant recent investment in IT: new iPads and laptops in every classroom and MacBooks in the music department to help pupils create digital music.
In 1992, when there were too few teaching nuns to manage the school, a charitable trust was formed to continue the good work under lay management.
The brightest are stretched through a curriculum enriched with plenty of arts-related activities and sport. 'We wanted to make teaching more relevant and incorporate risk taking and thinking independently.' Interesting extra work for those who need stretching (lunch-time puzzle club, for example, is a big hit). Fluid ability grouping throughout, then setting in maths and English in year 6 in the run up to 11 plus.
Strong sport (new Astroturf) with a double court for netball and a well-equipped gym. All the usual team games: rounders, netball, hockey, football, plus swimming at Swiss Cottage baths (for years 3 to 6) and athletics in Regent's Park. Gymnastics particularly popular, with pupils competing at regional and national level. High achievement too in music and excellent dance and drama (including an all-encompassing production in year 6).
Heaps of extracurricular going on with everything from spy club, illustration, knitting, origami, gardening, cooking, yoga , various music clubs and chess etc to a wealth of languages including Mandarin, Latin and Spanish. We particularly loved the idea of year 5 book club with the head herself in her lovely, tranquil office accompanied by freshly baked cookies (it sounds so wonderfully Enid Blyton; we hope it's accompanied by lashings of ginger beer).
An after-school club until 6pm every day supports working families, with emergency places bookable on the same day. It includes a quiet area where children can complete their homework or read with a teacher.
Boys are well integrated and given appropriate scope in the Big Boys' Club, where they play football and let off steam on imaginary motorbikes. 'It lets them be boys in this all-girls environment,' said one mother.
Mostly professional families from Hampstead and the surrounding areas, with a wide range of backgrounds (Europe, the US, Asia and the Far East). About half speak at least one other language at home (with good in-school support for newcomers on the foothills of English). Very welcoming parents, we are told, 'which can be unusual, especially in the London private school bubble. But here they are grounded and down to earth.' Despite its Hampstead location, this is a fairly understated place and, unusually for a prep school, offers a number of full bursaries.
St Mary's School has a thriving Learning Support Department. When a pupil is identified as having SEN, we take action to remove barriers to learning and put effective special educational needs provision in place. Quality First Teaching remains our first response in relation to the identification of SEN, but we also ensure that the child receives high quality additional support and interventions carefully matched to their needs. Pupils receive maximum support to develop and encourage their potential and specialist teachers offer small groups or individual 1:1 lessons. Through consultation with the form teacher and parents, a flexible strategy of support is formulated. A strong link between the school and the parents is encouraged and this partnership is seen as invaluable for the child's continued development.

Q: How can i use awk command in csv files in our csv names contain year,month,date,hour, minutes like: abc_202002111500.csv
so we have many csv files for every time.
if i want to search the number that 1234 in december 02 2020 at  between 15:00 -15:59;
awk -F"|" '{if ($3 == 1234) print $5}' abc_2020021115*.csv

So what if i want to write same number same date but between 15:00 -17:00 ?
awk -F"|" '{if ($3 == 1234) print $5}' abc_20200211?????.csv

A: The answer relies on a feature of most shells, search for shell wildcard range for details.
In your case, instead of abc_2020021115*.csv, use abc_202002111[56]*.csv

A: If you wish to do file-filtering in GNU AWK you might harness BEGINFILE and nextfile for that.

July 7, 2018 – Attractiepark Toverland opened Fēnix, their new €17 million B&M (Bolliger & Mabillard) wing coaster and the park's largest single attraction investment. Standing 131 feet (40m) tall, with a top speed of 59 mph (95 km/h), Fēnix features three inversions: a dive drop, an Immelmann and a zero-g roll, as well as plenty of near misses. Located in Avalon, a brand new area of the park that has a medieval and mythical theme, Fēnix travels over and around a former fishing pond.
Opening at the same time in Avalon is Merlin's Quest, a Mack Rides boat ride that features a dark ride indoor section. As the name would suggest, the attraction is themed around the mythology surrounding Merlin the Magician and the search for the source of eternal life.
Starting in 2001 as a small indoor amusement park, Toverland has grown over the last decade into the third largest theme park in the country. The park expanded from 50 acres (20ha) to over 185 acres (75ha) with the addition of Magische Vallei in 2012, Avalon and Port Laguna, the new Mediterranean themed entrance area of the park.
See what our members are saying about this thrilling new addition in our Forum discussion.

NY Times Expresses "Concern" for GOP by Trashing Ted Cruz
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2013
Best Use of Your Times
There's something a bit more than preposterous about the premise of the NY Times Op-Ed suggesting that for the good of the party, Republicans leaders should ignore Ted Cruz and other conservatives in their caucuses because in that publication's view, they're too rigid and inflexible, and they have all the lies in the world ready to prove it. Given that this is published in the NY Times, conservatives will likely conclude as they should that the paper probably doesn't exactly have the best interests of the Republican Party at heart, their contrived concern aside. Of course, it's one thing to offer an opinion, but it's a damnable shame to validate one's opinion with lies and half-truths, but once again, the NY Times has little else to offer its readers. Remembering that this is the outfit that hid the holocaust, and covered for Joe Stalin and Fidel Castro(h/t MarkLevinShow,) it's really not surprising to see the paper resort to this tactic. The Gray Lady sees no black or white, and holds in contempt all who do. The paper's motive is transparent: Marginalize conservatives in the Republican Party.
Their screed against Cruz is fundamentally wrong, in large measure because it's based on a number of lies and distortions:
"Unlike 85 percent of the Republicans in the Senate, he would have voted against the fiscal cliff deal. He says gun control is unconstitutional. Breaking even with conservative business leaders, he would have no qualms about using the debt ceiling as a hostage because he believes (falsely) that it would produce only a partial government shutdown and not default."
I realize it is the contention of the Times editors that gun control is constitutional, but the simple fact of the matter is that the Second Amendment protects the right of citizens to keep and bear arms just as the First Amendment protects the right of the NY Times to publish lies presented as fact. The Op-Ed relates that Ted Cruz is willing to use the debt ceiling in order to force cuts in Federal spending, but the conclusion(a.k.a. propaganda) is that he believes a falsehood about the results of such an action. This contention is a lie. The government of the United States takes in roughly $220-230 billion in revenues each month, and from that amount, paying the interest on the debt, paying for Social Security and Medicare, as well as paying our military can be accomplished.
What is not easily accomplished under such a scenario is to continue funding the endless string of other government programs and departments, some of which are simply bureaucratic fluff, but many of which comprise things like corporate welfare and crony capitalism, along with outrageous spending on items of dubious necessity to the operation of our government. In short, the Times is lying. Default is only a necessary result of a Debt Ceiling freeze if the President is unwilling to comply with his duty to pay the debts of the United States and thereby intentionally throw the country into chaos. This is the truth the NY Times does not want you to know. We should be so lucky as to have a Congress willing to put a stop to the out-of-control spending. The Times wants the President to retain the propaganda tool of claiming that a Debt Ceiling impasse would lead to disaster. It's simply not the case.
Not satisfied with the growing influence of conservatives with a Tea Party flavor, the Times continued its farcical rant against Cruz:
"Considering the damage that this kind of thinking did to the country and the Republican Party over the last two years — a downgraded credit rating, legislative standoffs, popular anger, a loss of Republican seats — it might seem obvious that the party should marginalize lawmakers like Mr. Cruz. Instead, they continue to gain power and support. Party leaders named Mr. Cruz vice chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee"
Does the NY Times really expect readers to believe that Republicans had been to blame for the credit downgrade? The only degree to which the GOP may be blamed is that in the final analysis, they compromised with President Obama, giving in and accepting a spending binge that caused credit rating services to downgrade the nation's credit-worthiness, and before it's over, will prompt more credit rating agencies to push the rating down. The popular anger in the country isn't directed at Cruz, or other conservatives, unless "popular anger" is an expression used to describe the sentiment among the board of editors at the NY Times. A winning presidential candidate is always expected to pick up seats for his party, thus the long-established political term we call "coat-tails," just as it is long-held political convention to expect a President to lose seats in an off-year election, much like 2010.
The fact of the matter is that the NY Times is taking a shot at Ted Cruz because in his early popularity, they see the potential for damage to their left-wing agenda. They want the Republicans to compromise with the President, but if truth be told, they'd rather there were no Republicans. This is why they continue their campaign to marginalize conservatives, and it's also why they apparently feel compelled to carry off an unconvincing pretense of concern for the Republican Party. The Times isn't interested in making the Republican Party a viable political force, but they know Republican leaders in Washington read their paper, actually believing some of the paper's hogwash. Let's concede that when it comes to propaganda that influences policy, the NY Times is an undeniable leader, but that doesn't mean we must accept it as a permanent condition. Their claim that Cruz is too rigid is simply another way of saying that he intends to keep his word to voters in Texas, where standing on principle isn't an entirely foreign concept.

Hey, I Agree With Santorum: It's Bull…
Rick Gets Testy
I listened to a number of people today attempt to describe Santorum's response to a NY Times reporter as "intemperate," "petulant," and "immature." I'll be honest with you: If I had to face these interminable jack-wagons in the press, always fishing to present me out of context, I would probably blow a gasket now or then too. It's not that Rick Santorum is my favorite candidate, because of the four remaining, I would choose Newt Gingrich, but just as the media tries its best to catch Gingrich saying something a little off-key, this is the same thing the press is doing to Rick Santorum, and I can understand how any of them might grow a bit fatigued with this approach. Rick Santorum has been saying for months, in virtually every appearance, and in every campaign stop that he believed that Mitt Romney was least able to battle Barack Obama because of Romney-care.
I've been telling you that same thing, because everything suggests that it's true. The latest Gallup polling results show that as many as 72% of Americans now believe the insurance mandate in Obama-care is unconstitutional. If they believe that, then it's likely that they won't be altogether receptive to the 10th Amendment arguments of Mitt Romney on Romney-care, for all the reasons I've mentioned before. States may have their authority, but that authority does not permit them to step on individual liberties any more than the Federal government may. Others may accept that argument, but I think most Americans would tend to reject it, and I think that would be a real problem for Mitt Romney especially when Obama openly admits that Romney-care and its mandate were the model for Obama-care.
Apparently, in campaign stop in Wisconsin, Santorum repeated his general theme, but because he changed the way in which he said it, it left an opening for a smarmy NY Times reporter to take a shot at him because his statement during this particular speech seemed more open-ended, and he said Mitt Romney is "the worst Republican in the country to put up against Barack Obama." He got a little angry with the reporter, Jeff Zeleny of the NY Times, because he seemed to be trying to set Santorum up, and I think Santorum got a little miffed. To be sure, it probably was a bit intemperate to hurl the expletive "bullsh..," but almost every person I knew who had seen it voiced approval. It seems conservatives have gotten a belly-full of the press this campaign season, and after months of dirty tricks and negative ads primarily focused on the conservatives in the race, it's not surprising that Santorum lashed out a bit. Many conservatives were heartened to see it, because it exhibited a passion for his position, but in fact, I also noted something else: Many of the conservatives to whom I spoke about the incident actually thought he shouldn't have qualified it at all, because there's a sense among many conservatives that Romney is the least electable versus Barack Obama, and I think the "Etch-a-Sketch" was the last straw for many.
These are the same reasons, in fact, that when Gingrich faced the questions in the South Carolina debate, and he took the moderator to task, he got the positive response he did: Conservatives are tired of getting kicked around in the press, and the willingness of Newt Gingrich to confront the press was an endearing quality to many conservatives. I think this latest flap with Santorum evinces the same theme, because conservatives simply don't like the media, because they've long recognized the media will not afford conservatives a fair shake. Some will say that Santorum had been a little too combative in this instance, and others will nit-pick him over the wording of his remarks, but his point was generally true on both counts: He has stressed for months the "unique disqualification" of Mitt Romney due to Romney-care, and he made his remarks about Romney in this instance in the general envelope of the same context, although he worded the lines somewhat differently, and these are the "gotcha" games with which conservatives have become disgusted.
You can watch the video of the exchange here:
Santorum may not be my favorite candidate, but he's certainly preferable to at least one in my view, and I'm glad to see him take on the media a little bit. It's time to deal with reality, and the press is too busy taking Obama's part against all Republicans, and Romney's part against all other Republicans for me to think much of the media. I think Newt should remember this too, as it was part of what drove his climb back in South Carolina. Conservatives hate the mainstream media these days, and they have every justification. Candidates should remember this when they face the press.

Romney Isn't One of Us Either
Monday, November 7th, 2011
Out Amongst the People
It's not often that you get a chance to see how a politician behaves among ordinary people. They're usually surrounded by security, and mobbed by media, so on that rare occasion in which you find yourself relatively alone with one for even a moment, most people will try to exploit the moment and express their own opinions. In these situations, some politicians bear up better than others, and some are able to disguise the actual contempt or at least ambivalence they feel for we "little people." The Romney campaign thought it would be a good idea to have Mitt fly coach just to be among the people. Unfortunately, once there, he promptly ignored a fellow passenger who wanted to discuss health-care reform with him, reports a New York Times blogger, Emmarie Heutteman. According to the article, Carolyn McClanahan of Jacksonville, Florida was seated next to Romney.
From the blog posting:
According to Ms. McClanahan, about an hour into the flight — which Mr. Romney mostly spent reading USA Today and using an iPad while wearing headphones — she told him her idea for improving the American health care system: slashing overhead costs by switching to an electronic billing system.
"He looked at me blankly and said, 'I understand,' then put his iPad headphones in and kept reading," she said.
While Ms. McClanahan said Mr. Romney was probably exhausted, she was disappointed he showed so little interest. Even another passenger's request for a restaurant recommendation in Boston elicited little from Mr. Romney, she said. "I can't give you any," he said, according to Ms. McClanahan. "You'll have to ask someone else."
This is demonstrative of the arrogance that pervades the permanent political class. I recognize that Romney just wanted to catch his flight, but if you sit in coach in an attempt to appear to be "just one of us," then you should expect that people will attempt to make some conversation, particularly if you're a presidential candidate. Mitt is just another of those politicians who want your vote, but not your opinions. I have no idea whether Ms. McClanahan had any good ideas or not, but after all, you never know. I'm not surprised by this, although this sort of confirmation is troubling.
Undoubtedly, this may be Mitt's last appearance in coach, because now his campaign is catching grief. The Times article concludes:
Ms. McClanahan said that if Mr. Romney wants to improve his image with voters, he's going to have to do more than just fly coach.
"I think that one of the problems right now is that politicians aren't in touch," she said. "They're trying to act like they're in touch. You need to be a little more sincere about it."
Indeed. That's one of the problems with Mitt. In fact, it always has been: He's roughly as genuine as a stuffed ape holding a plastic banana. He's got no credibility with average Americans because he simply isn't one of us. He never has been, and he clearly seems out of his element when among us. It's only a matter of time before they put him in flannel at a skeet-shooting range, or at a NASCAR race to show us how he's one of us. McClanahan's instincts are right about Romney. He's out of touch. He's out of style, and if conservatives and Tea Party folk have anything to say about it, he'll be out of the running. Sadly, that's going to be more difficult than some now think.
