As we honor Father's on this special day, it's a good time to take a moment and reflect on the many different ways they can impact our lives, for better or worse, and how they can range from being heroic figures whom we strive to emulate to intimidating shadows we wan to escape from, to barely any presence at all. But always, they help shape who we are (even the absent ones.).
The following is a list of memorable Father's Day Films For Geeks.
The ultimate father/son reconciliation movie, and probably the biggest "event" movie of my childhood, this remains arguably the most most flawed and arguably the most fun installment in the original trilogy. It took me a very long time to process the fact that Darth Vader's death caused me to shed far more tears than Yoda's did, and sometimes I still think about it to this day. No matter how cynical the viewer, the moment when Vader realizes that he can't let the Emperor kill his son, and finds the person he once was, is incredibly powerful stuff, and one of the great moments in cinematic history.
25 years after its initial release, this movie that proved to be a minor box office disappointment and a major critical one has taken on another identity all together: cinema classic. A generation grew up on "Hook", and when the tragic death of Robin Williams flooded the news and social media, this was one of the first films mentioned, as people posted about "happy thoughts" and President Barack Obama called Williams a "Bangarang Peter Pan." Perhaps the biggest reason for the longevity and love that this film has built up is the resonant themes of childhood and fatherhood, and the correlation between them. Peter chooses not to remain a child forever because, "I wanted to be a Daddy." Peter Banning finds his inner Dad by embracing his inner child, and finds a focus for his inner child by embracing his inner Dad. And as his children look on in wonder at the man whose love and approval they have so desperately sought, and in some cases have rejected, for a wonderful, shining moment they quite literally see him as most of us once saw our fathers: as our hero, the man who could fly.
After having felt a little burned by "Temple of Doom", Steven Spielberg was a little less than thrilled to do another chapter in the series, and wasn't quite sold by George Lucas' pitch about the search for the Holy Grail, or even particularly interested in the idea of the Grail as a quest for eternal youth. But he found another hook.
"What if the Grail means more than that?" Spielberg said in a 2007 article for EMPIRE magazine. "Maybe it could be a metaphor for the relationship between Indy and his dad? Indy sets out for the Grail but ends up closing the distance between him and his father. I could relate to that emotionally because I had experienced something similar with my own father."
By the time Sean Connery had signed on to play Henry Jones, the metaphor had reached even more levels, as it was Spielberg expressing his desire to do "something like James Bond" that lead Lucas to pitch the idea of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" to Spielberg. In a very real sense, Bond really was Jones' father already, so the teaming couldn't have felt more perfect.
This is the mostly strangely divisive film in the series, in that there is a very devoted crowd who considers it to be the best of the lot due to the level of heart, humor and depth that comes from the introduction of Henry Jones and the back story of Henry Jones, Jr, and also a very vocal internet crowd that considered it to be the worst for the very same reasons (that crowd now has moved on to trashing Crystal Skull.). Some feel that the mystique of the character was traded in for schmaltz, and that we lost Indy when we learned too much about him. It's a sentiment I can't agree with, but one I have reluctant grown to not entirely dismiss as totally without merit. There is an element of the iconic legend that was created in Raiders that is undermined by the humanity brought to Indy in this film (and eventually, it would come full circle as James Bond would reach the same highly debated crossroads in my favorite film in that series, Skyfall.). For me personally, not only is Last Crusade a great deal of fun, but as I watched it over and over again through the years, I learned to understand my father's relationship with his father, and how that relationship affected my relationship with my father. If I have to choose between that kind of insight and the machismo of the roguish, two-fisted man of action and mystery, it's a very easy decision to make (and for the record, I actually like Crystal Skull, too.).
Not every great father is an actual biological father, and in some cases they don't even have to be biological at all. Arnold Schwartzennger's T-800 had living tissue on the outside, but it was what was on the inside that mattered. The ability to learn and to adapt one's behavior may be the ultimate mark of a good parental figure, and the T-800 was always there for what John Connor (Edward Furlong) needed. The emotion in the final section of this classic gets me every time, and it remains one of the best sequels ever made. The 3D IMAX release can't come soon enough for me.
This is a film that, more so than having a lot detractors, had a lot of very LOUD detractors, and they did their best to create the narrative that no one at all liked Bryan Singer's salute to the father of all superhero films. And while the movie definitely has its share of shortcomings (the nonsensical casting of a 23 year old Lois Lane in a movie that takes place 5 years after the events Superman II, an inflated run time and several other missteps) it also has some truly great elements that were far too quickly dismissed by cynics, and the sequence wherein Superman (Brandon Routh) recites Jor-El's speech about the unbreakable bond between father and son to his sleeping child is really quite touching. It may not be a great film, but it's one that I have a great fondness for. and vigorously defend.
Loosely inspired by the "Old Man Logan" comic books, this violent, edgy finale to the story of Wolverine deals a with aging and immortality. It also delves into the legacy one leaves behind, both tangible (in the form of Logan's "daughter", Laura) and intangible (the X-men comics and the heroic tales that provide inspiration and hope to the Weapon X children, as well as the haunting of death that our tortured protagonist has left in his wake over so many lifetimes.). Logan is not the only father in this film: Charles Xavier (Sir Patrick Stewart) has very much been a surrogate father to the troubled mutant for a very long time, and the film portrays one of the most difficult aspect of having a parent, namely having to care for them and watch them slowly fade away. Charles is merely a shell of his former self, and a millstone around Logan's neck, but he's also the only thing our hero has left to care about, as well as being the one person who can still inspire Logan to be his best self. When Charles does die, a big part of Logan dies with him, until the desire to protect Laura from harm brings back the superhero hidden deep beneath the adamantium. Logan is quite simply one of the best comic book films ever made, and its a heart wrenching and beautiful portrayal of of not only the fact that we always hurt the ones we love, but that we will always fight for them, too. It's also a sad reminder that far too often we don't fully appreciate someone's impact on us until they are gone.
There is no shortage of reason why Christopher Nolan sophisticated and dramatic take on the origin of one geekdom's most iconic figures stands apart from all of the incarnation that came before, but one of my personal favorites is that we finally see Thomas Wayne as more than just some guy who got shot in an alley. His influence on Bruce as a father has been at best vaguely implied in other versions of the story, but with Linus Roache's tender characterization we see the man, the Dad, that was a hero to his son and to others and who truly left Gotham City a darker and more hopeless place when his life was cut short.
"Why do we fall, Bruce" Thomas asks. "So we can pick ourselves up again." In Christopher Nolan's telling, Batman truly begins with his Dad.
One would be hard pressed to find a movie that deals with more variations on fatherhood than James Gunn's triumphant follow to to his bold and thoroughly wonderful sci fi comic book adventure. Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) finally meets his myserious father (Kurt Russell) only to find out that , 1. His old man is basically a God, and 2. He wasn't just an absentee Dad, he's a genuinely evil being that killed Peter's mother and wants to destroy the universe.
Peter also finally comes to terms with his complex relationship with Yondu Udonta (Michael Rooker), the man who raised him. The too men who have stubbornly insisted on denying the love they have for each other finally come clean just short of too late. Meanwhile, Rocket is trying to raise his former best friend, Groot, who is literally going through a second childhood, a metaphor for the way the parent/child relationship will always be the most significant and unique friendship we encounter in life, and Gamorrah and Nebula try to heal the scars that they gave to each other as a result of their painful upbringing with a tyrant who falsely called them his daughters. Easily the most soul searching 12-Year old boy movie ever made, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 may just be the perfect Father's Day film.
The first stand alone Star Wars film (unless you count The Ewok Adventure) is many things: an Alistair Maclean style war story, a bridge between the prequels and the original trilogy, a moving tale of heroism an sacrifice . . . and a Daddy/Daughter movie.
Galen Erso (Mads Mikkelson) is man who gave up so called "greatness" for his family, and his desire for a galaxy that would be safe for them. Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) is a young woman who learned to be hardened and tough because she grew up alone. But neither Galen or Jyn was ever alone, and in the end their love for each other is enough to save an entire galaxy, It's a powerful story that proves that the familial bond in the Star Wars universe isn't limited to Force users.
These two films have more in common than just Spielberg, Williams and visitors from another world. In both, Spielberg examines the theme of a father losing the respect and trust of his children. While Richard Dreyfuss' Roy Neary is a seemingly good father who tries hard but simply can't connect with his family, Tom Cruise's Ray Ferrier is part time parent whose kids call him by his first name.
Where Roy loses the respect he has earned, as his oldest son declares that Roy has "gone crazy," and and his youngest daughter asks "are you going to yell at us again?", Ray is so self absorbed that he doesn't even realize just how little his children think of him until little Rachel (Dakota Fanning" demands of her brother "Who will take care of me if you're gone?" (The look on Cruise's face at that moment is one of the finest bits of acting of his entire career.).
Spielberg stated in the early '90's that after becoming a parent himself, he could never make a movie that ended the way Close Encounters did, and the stark contrast between Roy's sad decision to escape the confines of the home where he is tied down by a lack of love and respect from his family by going off into space and Ray's fierce determination to protect his kids and his eventual earning of their admiration for staying with them (and risking his life for them) plays almost like an apology.
Do you have any favorites that you want to add? Do you want to gripe like a cynical jerk about Superman Returns? Do so in the comments below, and have a Happy Father's Day.
I would add "The Incredibles"


ABCmouse is an English education app. In the United States has an original curriculum, with the Chinese market for brand re-engineering. In particular, a lively 3D character is used in the app. 3D based on 2D design. Because the children are between the ages of 5 and 10, the form is more simplistic in the design process, and the proportion of the nose and mouth is finely adjusted to bring the cuteness to the extreme.
The key to character face animation is to analyze the characters and to define the concepts accurately. ABC Mouse is a friend in educational applications who assists users to learn. Thus, I made assumptions of some interesting circumstances that might possibly happen during the learning process and expressed it in 3D to make it more solid and comic.
I supposed various hypothetical situations that students can empathize and expressed the situations as emotions.
In terms of animation works, it is important to have a good understanding the overall flow. Animations also have a lot of keys to work with, so it is better to group them to manipulate easily.
It was used in the various actions used in the educational app, ABC Mouse prior to making stickers.
While maintaining the principle shape of the face, I expressed 16 different emotions in a comic way.
Online stickers convey the details of emotions that cannot be conveyed by words. Users will use the stickers to empathize with ABC Mouse'sfeelings and feel affectionate for the characters. In this way, it would enhance the brand value as well.

Cast Changes
Notable Guest Stars
After the success of Police Woman, the first hour-long drama starring a woman, Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts came up with the idea for a series about three beautiful female private investigators as a breakthrough but also as an escapist television series. Producers Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg first considered actress Kate Jackson during the early pre-production stages of the series. She had proven popular with viewers in another police television drama, The Rookies. Jackson was initially cast as Kelly Garrett, but was more attracted to the role of Sabrina Duncan, and her request to switch roles was granted. Farrah Fawcett was next cast as Jill Munroe but, like Jackson, did not audition for a role. She was offered a part by Spelling after he had viewed her performance in the 1976 film Logan's Run. Jaclyn Smithwas among the hundreds of actresses who auditioned for the role of Kelly Garrett. Despite liking Smith, Spelling and Goldberg were wary about hiring her because their initia...

In the initial concept, Sabrina Duncan, Jill Munroe, and Kelly Garrett have graduated from the police academy in Los Angeles, California. Despite proving their capability during training, all three have subsequently been assigned to be a meter maid, office worker, and crossing guard, respectively. Dissatisfied with these jobs, they are recruited to work for the Charles Townsend Agency as private investigators. All of this is explained in the opening credit sequence; neither the pilot film nor subsequent series ever actually depicted an "origin story" as they are seen to have been working as investigators for some time as of the start of the pilot. Their boss, Charlie Townsend, who nicknames them "Angels", is never viewed full-face, but is often seen from the back, mostly in the company of beautiful women. Charlie gives the Angels and his associate John Bosley their assignments via a Western Electric speakerphone; he never met them face-to-face, which leads to recurring queries from...
Note: Jaclyn Smith and David Doyle are the only actors to appear in all 115 episodes of the series.John Forsythe does not take part in the fourth season episode "Avenging Angel".
Over the course of its five-year run, Charlie's Angels had a series of highly publicized cast changes. The first of these took place in the spring of 1977, just after the conclusion of the first season. Fawcett turned in her resignation just before the season one finale aired on May 4, 1977. Fawcett's decision not to return for a second season triggered a lawsuit against the actress by ABC and Spelling. During the 1977 summer hiatus of the series, ABC and Fawcett entered a legal battle over her contract. At the beginning of the series, all three female leads signed five-year contracts, and the network was insistent that they live up to their commitments. Business partners Leonard Goldberg and Aaron Spelling tried to work out a deal with Fawcett and her agents. Goldberg and Spelling had arranged for her to make one film during her summer hiatuses, and her choice over subsequent television shows and miniseries. ABC even agreed to raise her salary from $5,000 to $8,000 a week, but she...
Charlie's Angels became known as "Jiggle TV". Jiggle TV was also called "Tits & Ass Television" or "T&A" for short and in the 1970s the amount of sex on television increased, as did its ratings, creating social controversies and consequences, by critics who believed that the TV series had no intelligence or substance. These characterizations stemmed from the fact that the lead actresses frequently dressed scantily or provocatively as part of their undercover characters (including roller derby...

Charlie's Angels proved to be a runaway hit in the 1976–77 season in its first of five time slots, Wednesdays at 10:00pm, where it followed Baretta. Facing little competition from CBS and NBC, Charlie's Angels finished fifth in Nielsen ratings in the spring of 1977 with an average 26.0 rating. The three lead actresses were suddenly propelled to stardom, with Kate Jackson later commenting that the first few months were like being in the eye of a storm. Farrah Fawcett became hugely popular and...

The Charlie's Angels 74-minute pilot film that aired on March 21, 1976, received enormous ratings. However, the ABC network — who thought this was one of the worst ideas for a TV series they'd ever heard — did not believe the figures and showed it again a week later to check. At the time of Spelling pitching the pilot of Charlie's Angels to the network, ABC executive Michael Eisner told Spelling that his pitch had to be "one of the worst ideas I've ever heard," and ABC Executive Barry Diller...
Charlie's Angels played host to a number of well-known faces during its five seasons. Some of those individuals were long-established stars of film and television; others would find considerable fame and recognition many years afterappearing in the program. Notable appearances of celebrities (whether famous then or later) include those of:
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment released all five seasons of Charlie's Angels on DVD in region one over the span of ten years, with the fifth and final season released as a Manufacture-on-Demand (MOD) release,available exclusively through Amazon.com & WBShop.com and only in the U.S. Additionally, seasons 1–3 have been released on DVD in regions 2 and 4. On August 27, 2013, it was announced that Mill Creek Entertainment had acquired the rights to various television series from the Sony Pictures library including Charlie's Angels.They subsequently re-released the first season on DVD on January 21, 2014. On September 6, 2016, Mill Creek re-released Charlie's Angels: The Complete Series on DVD in Region 1.The 20-disc set contains all 110 episodes of the series. Mill Creek released the entire series on Blu-ray for the first time in fall 2019. Note: Episode count is based on the format in which episodes originally aired. Two-hour episodes are counted as one episode.
Attempted spin-off
ABC attempted to create a spin-off of Charlie's Angels in 1980 called Toni's Boys. The backdoor pilot aired near the end of season four, simply titled "Toni's Boys" (season 4, episode 23). The episode starred Barbara Stanwyck as Antonia "Toni" Blake, a wealthy widow socialite and friend of Charlie's who ran a detective agency. The agency was staffed by three good looking male detectives—Cotton Harper (Stephen Shortridge), Matt Parrish (Bruce Bauer), and Bob Sorensen (Bob Seagren)—who took dir...
The character Dan Tanna (played by Robert Urich) from the detective series Vega$ appeared in the episode "Angels in Vegas" a week before the Vega$ season one debut. The crossover was simply used to reintroduce the Dan Tanna character and to promote Vega$as an ongoing series. In the episode "Love Boat Angels", the angels went on another popular Aaron Spelling show, The Love Boat, and met the crew. Gavin MacLeod, Bernie Kopell, Fred Grandy, Ted Lange, and Lauren Tewes guest starred as their The...

DR. SAMUEL A. MUDD RESEARCH SITE
May 29, 1865 - Testimony of John F. Hardy.
JOHN F. HARDY, a witness called for the accused, Samuel A. Mudd, being duly sworn, testified as follows:
By MR. EWING:
Q. State where you live.
A. In Charles County, Md., about two miles and a half above Bryantown.
Q. Were you or not present with Dr. Samuel A. Mudd one week after the assassination of the President? and, if so, where?
A. I was at his father's: we dined there together.
Q. Did a messenger come for him to go to his house?
A. One did.
Q. Did you go with him?
A. I did.
Q. Did you meet any officer before you got to the house?
A. We met Lieutenant Lovett in Dr. Mudd's yard.
Q. State what was said between Lieutenant Lovett and Dr. Mudd then.
A. Dr. Mudd introduced Lieutenant Lovett to me. I did not understand his name then; but I learnt it a few days afterwards. We walked into the house; and, when we got in the house, Dr. Mudd told Lieutenant Lovett that there was a boot there, and asked him if he wanted it; and he said, "Yes."
Q. Did he mention that before or after he got into the house?
A. I think it was in the house he mentioned it.
Q. Had any inquiry been addressed to him first, or any thing said about it?
A. No, sir; not in my hearing.
Q. Was any thing said as to how the boot had been found?
Q. What was said?
A. His wife said she had found it under the bed in dusting up the room a day or two afterwards.
Cross-examined by ASSISTANT JUDGE ADVOCATE BURNETT:
Q. What remark was made about searching the house before any thing was said about the boot?
A. Not a word that I heard.
Q. How long had any of the soldiers been there before you got there?
A. I do not know.
Q. How many were there when you got there?
A. I think we counted twenty-eight horses.
Q. There at the house?
A. At the house.
Q. You do not know what occurred before you got there?
A. No, sir.
Q. Nor what had been said or done?
Q. Can you say who gave the boot to the officers?
A. Dr. Sam. Mudd himself gave it.
Q. Had Dr. Sam. Mudd any conversation with anybody before he mentioned the fact that the boot was there at that time?
A. I think not.
By ASSISTANT JUDGE ADVOCATE BURNETT:
Q. You do not know what conversations had taken place between him and those men before you got there?
A. I went with Dr. Sam. Mudd from his father's house to his house.
Q. You do not know what had occurred between him and those men on the Tuesday before, or on the previous part of the same day, Friday?
Q. What time in the day was that?
A. I suppose it was between the hours of twelve and two o'clock. We had taken dinner at his father's, Henry L. Mudd's.
Q. What messenger went for the doctor?
A. I did not see the messenger. Mr. Davis, I think, was the man. A little child came running in, the doctor's nephew, living at Henry L. Mudd's, and said, "Uncle Sam., Mr. Davis is out here in the yard, and wishes to see you."

Abstract : Call Detail Records (CDR) are an important source of information in the study of diverse aspects of human mobility. The accuracy of mobility information granted by CDR strongly depends on the radio access infrastructure deployment and the frequency of interactions between mobile users and the network. As cellular network deployment is highly irregular and interaction frequencies are typically low, CDR are often characterized by spatial and temporal sparsity, which, in turn, can bias mobility analyses based on such data. In this paper, we precisely address this subject. First, we evaluate the spatial error in CDR, caused by approximating user positions with cell tower locations. Second, we assess the impact of the limited spatial and temporal granularity of CDR on the estimation of standard mobility metrics. Third, we propose novel and effective techniques to reduce temporal sparsity in CDR, by leveraging regularity in human movement patterns.

Wikimedia, the US-based organisation behind Wikipedia, is putt to a vote whether or not to stay up or take down the currently noted monkey selfie that sparked a world copyright discussion.
Mr Slater, from county, was taking photos of crested black macaques on the Indonesian island of island in 2011 once the animals began to analyze his instrumentality and unknowingly took photos of themselves.
In early 2012, man woodlouse formally asked Wikimedia to require down the image. it had been removed, however was later side once more by another user and has remained on Wikimedia Commons.
If by the tip there's a agreement, the image are either unbroken or deleted by Associate in Nursing uninvolved volunteer administrator.
Thousands of social media users have return to his defence, claiming Wikimedia has seized the photograph, that they believe to be the material possession of man woodlouse.
The case has opened discussion on the character of intellectual copyright within the age of Wikipedia.
Wikimedia same members of its community can currently decide if the pic ought to stay within the property right or not, during a case that may see photographers probably lose rights to photos taken victimization motion triggers in future.
Much to his dismay, the pictures created headlines round the world, and were used on variety of internet sites, newspapers, magazines and tv shows.
Tomasz Kozlowski, United Nations agency is accountable for uploading the image to Wikimedia, told the Telegraph: "There has been some confusion over United Nations agency owns the copyright. As Wikimedia relies within the US, we have a tendency to square measure guided by their law, that says that works that originate from a non-human supply can't claim copyright.
He same he's aiming to take action at law against the corporate within the US.


One downside of working within a commercial shopping area is having the temptation to shop thrown right at you at all times. I guess it wouldn't be a problem if I actually left the office on time at 6am while the malls are still closed. But I don't.
Yesterday is a classic example. I left the office at past 9 in the morning and the Cubao area was already coming to life. I headed straight to SM with the intention of buying two things: sanitary napkins, and ballpens (I'd lost two already!). Well, I left the mall with more than that.
I love the Maple and Sugar Oatmeal from Quaker. I just pour the contents of each envelope onto a bowl, add milk, pop it in the microwave, and then dig in. It's filling and it's good for my tummy.
Nestle's Fitnesse line of cereal is whole grain and is way better than your usual cornflakes. But it is pricey. This little box is about 140pesos, if I remember correctly.
Having these two leaves me no excuse for going to work on an empty stomach.
It won't help me lose weight I know that. But the colorful marshmallows should help get me in the holiday mood amidst all the craziness at work and a messed up schedule.


Grapefruit marijuana strain is a longtime marijuana classic, a heady blend of the hybrid Cinderella 99 strain and a sativa bred specifically for its grapefruit flavor. With a sativa/indica ratio of 70:30 respectively, this weed strain packs a decidedly cerebral punch, with a major mood boost and intense euphoria. THC levels have been at about 20%, so this is a pretty powerful weed strain.Grapefruit weed strain is common across the US, sold largely on the basis of its unique flavor and smell. It's most famous in Colorado and on the West Coast, though it can also be found in other legal markets and the black market. This weed strain is highly appealing to smokers looking for a strong head high, less so to smokers seeking physical effects.
BC Grapefruit comes from a clone of unknown genetics. Breeder Steve from Spice of Life found the clone, which had been labeled the one to grow. It gained some popularity in the 80s but was clone only. Other breeders have created seeds by back-crossing the strain. True BC Grapefruit has since become very scarce. The strains derived from BC Grapefruit carry a THC range of 15% -20% and grow well both outside and indoors. They flower for 55 to 60 days. Nectar's Grapefruit is a cross between C99/Cinderella 99 and an unknown landrace Sativa devised by Nectar Seeds. Like BC Grapefruit, it can grow both indoors and outside but has a longer flowering time of 60 to 69 days.

Top 10 POW Rescues Too Incredible To Be True
by Michael Van Duisen
A side effect of any conflict, captured or surrendered soldiers often become prisoners of war. Though there are supposed to be rules regarding their treatment, they are ignored quite frequently. Because of that fact, sometimes rescue attempts become necessary. Here are 10 cases of POW rescues too incredible to be true.
10 Incredible Rescues By Dogs That Will Warm Your Heart
10 Raid at Ožbalt
Relatively unknown to all but the most ardent WWII scholars, the Raid at Ožbalt was an incredibly successful POW rescue. It all begins with an Australian soldier named Ralph Churches.[1] Captured just off of the east coast of Greece, he was taken to the Slovenian town of Maribor, imprisoned along with hundreds of other Allied soldiers. Over the course of around three years, Churches gained the trust of his German minders, even going so far as to holding the position of Vertrauensmann ("Confidence Man"), a title which saw him representing all the POWs when speaking with the authorities.
Unbeknownst to the Nazis, Churches had been in secret talks with the Slovene Partisans, a group of freedom fighters who had recently seized a nearby village.[2] One night in August 1944, he and eight other POWs escaped to Ožbalt but the joy of freedom wasn't enough to overcome the guilt of leaving behind so many others. Churches was able to convince the partisans to go back and free nearly 100 more men and all of them headed south, going on a dangerous 160 mile trek to the town of Semic, where they were flown to freedom.
9 Ban Naden Raid
The time: December 1966, the place: northern Laos. A defector from the Laos Communist party Pathet Lao came to the CIA and told them of a prison camp near Ban Naden. Located at the base of a cliff, the prison camp was said to have been hidden inside of a limestone cave.[3] Since the information matched some the Americans were already in possession of, a rescue operation was quickly drawn up. Initially, a loud helicopter assault was considered but was dropped in favor of a quiet, land-based rescue.
A Lao sergeant assembled a team and were transported by helicopter to a landing zone about a two-day walk from the Ban Naden prison camp. On January 9, 1967, the rescuers finally approached their target, and quickly began looking for foreign prisoners.[4] (It was thought there were three Americans there but they were not found.) Some of the prisoners were workers for Air America, the CIA-owned airline which flew a number of missions in Laos, Vietnam and Thailand.
The guards were disposed of and all of the prisoners were freed from their bamboo cages. Almost half of them returned to their homes rather than follow their rescuers, as they actually lived nearby. On their way out, Communist forces began attacking them, though they were quickly rebuffed by air attacks. The remaining POWs were eventually taken to Savannakhet, a city in western Laos.
8 Raid at Los Baños
A municipality in the northern Philippines, Los Baños is a popular tourist destination thanks to their hot spring resorts. However, in February of 1945, it was most known for an internment camp run by the Japanese military. Filled with over 2,000 civilians, the prison had been open for the last three years, as the internees awaited the famed return of General Douglas MacArthur.[5] Though they were relatively well-treated by Japanese POW standards, those living in Los Baños were beginning to starve, with many adults having lost nearly 50 pounds each.[6]
So, when the U.S. military finally arrived back in the Philippines in January 1945, spirits began to lift. General MacArthur ordered his subordinates to initiate rescue plans for any camps they could find because the Japanese were notorious for slaughtering their prisoners. The plan for Los Baños consisted of a two-pronged attack: U.S. paratroopers in the air and Filipino guerilla fighters on the ground.
After a relatively quick firefight which caught the guards by surprise, the camp was liberated. Wrangling the internees proved difficult as many of them were physically incapable of organization. Eventually, they managed to either board amphibious vehicles or make a two-mile walk down the beach to the evacuation point. In the end, every civilian was rescued from Los Baños with a minimal loss of life on the side of the liberators. However, when the Japanese military returned to find the prison empty, they slaughtered over 1,000 men, women and children in the town.
7 Liberation of Weihsien Internment Camp
Though largely ignored by American audiences, the Japanese invasion of China was horrific, not only for the soldiers, but for those who found themselves under Japanese control. One such place was the Weihsien Internment Camp in eastern China.[7] Filled to the brim, mainly with civilians, the camp was a Christian mission compound in a previous life and was even known as the "Oriental Auschwitz" by some.[8] Though no wholesale slaughter took place, a number of internees perished due to poor sanitary conditions and a lack of food.
Initially, the compound only held prisoners from Asian countries but, as Japan declared war on more and more countries, nearly every nationality had someone inside. By 1945, the war was nearing its end and more and more Chinese land was liberated. On August 17th, U.S. planes flew over the camp, with paratroopers dropping into the area. In the end, nearly 1,500 people were rescued.
6 Operation Thunderhead
On April 6, 1967, John Dramesi, an Air Force Colonel, was forced to eject from his aircraft and landed in North Vietnam, where he was quickly apprehended. After a pair of failed escapes, he and some other prisoners eventually settled on a plan where they would meet up with some U.S. Navy SEALs near the Red River on the Gulf of Tonkin.
So, in 1972, Navy SEALs used an amphibious-transport submarine to head for a small island on which to set up a base of operations to look out for the escaped POWs.[9] However, a number of problems, including navigational issues, prompted the men to surface, where they were subsequently rescued by a low-flying helicopter which was assisting in the mission.[10] A few days later, the men tried to return to their submarine but several soldiers were injured upon jumping into the water, with one man, Lieutenant Melvin Dry, dying.
Unbeknownst to the SEALs who were struggling to get ready for the escapees, the POWs had decided to call off their escape from the Hanoi Hilton, as the reprisals for previous attempts had become too much.
10 Uplifting Stories Of Prison Guards Who Were Rescued By Inmates
5 Gran Sasso Raid
As the walls began closing in on the country, Italy decided to oust Benito Mussolini and the king also had now-former prime minister arrested. His eventual prison: the lush Campo Imperatore Hotel, a ski resort nestled high in the Apennine Mountains. As a friend and ally of the former Italian leader, Adolf Hitler quickly assembled his men and ordered rescue plans to be drawn up.[11] The notorious Waffen SS commander Otto Skorzeny was given the task of figuring out how to get to the hotel and, more importantly, how to get back down.[12]
Operation Eiche, as it came to be known, began on September 12, 1943, with the launching of ten gliders, each carrying a pilot and nine soldiers. They landed, or crashed depending on your point of view, and swiftly moved to attack the hotel. However, thanks to subterfuge, the Germans managed to secure Mussolini without firing a shot; in fact, the Italian guards even posed for photographs taken of the escape. The last step, getting back down the mountain, proved dangerous, as they had to essentially push the small plane off the mountain and fall nearly 1,000 feet before they managed to fly to safety.
4 Operation Ivory Coast
Part of the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi, Son Tây was home to a POW camp for a few years during the Vietnam War. Relatively small, it was never home to more than a few dozen Americans and, in 1970, it was believed there were 61 soldiers imprisoned there. Because of that fact, 56 Special Forces men and 92 airmen were enlisted in a rescue operation which would see them fly into one of the most dangerous airspaces in the country.[13]
Because of the presence of 12,000 North Vietnamese soldiers a mere five miles away, the plan was to fly in by helicopter, take out the guards, rescue the POWs, and fly out. Tactically, the mission was a runaway success: there were only two casualties on the American side and the camp was quickly taken. However, as a rescue operation, it was a complete failure, as there were no POWs to be found. Unbeknownst to the planners, all the prisoners had been moved earlier in the year because of flooding which had contaminated the wells of the Son Tây prison camp.
In a silver lining of sorts, the POWs were able to see the helicopter flying overhead, which boosted morale, and forced the North Vietnamese to improve conditions for a while.
3 Operation Lazarus
Bo Gritz Interviewed on POW/MIA, Drugs, CIA, USA Debt. and other topics.
After the Vietnam War ended, many believed there were still POWs that hadn't been repatriated, that they were being held in order to acquire money from the U.S. government. One of those people was a former Green Beret lieutenant colonel named James "Bo" Gritz (the man who was the inspiration for Rambo). So he began soliciting donations to fund a mercenary raid into Laos to rescue soldiers he said were still alive.[14] A handful of high-profile men gave money, including Clint Eastwood and William Shatner.
On November 27, 1982, Gritz and his fellow American troops, four in total, crossed the border between Laos and Thailand, along with a number of Laotian guerilla fighters.[15] However, they were poorly armed and outnumbered, as the only reinforcements they received came in the form of a drunk, unarmed chieftain. Quickly overrun by more organized paramilitary fighters, the men retreated, with one of them captured after he was wounded in the firefight. (He was later ransomed for about $17,000.)
2 Raid at Cabanatuan
Otherwise known as The Great Raid, the Raid at Cabanatuan was an enormous effort to free more than 500 POWs from a Japanese camp in the Philippines. On January 30, 1945, as American and Filipino forces had been driving the Japanese from the country for a few months, a plan was undertaken to quickly rescue the men before they were executed.[16] That belief was not a myth either, as Japanese high command had issued instructions on how and when to kill POWs in October of 1944. In fact, 150 Americans had been burned alive at the Puerto Princesa Prison Camp.[17]
Survivors of the Bataan Death March, none of the POWs had any foreknowledge of the upcoming rescue; some Filipino boys had allegedly thrown rocks with notes saying "Be ready to go out." but the men regarded it as a prank. Nevertheless, a group of 100 men, made up of Army Rangers, Alamo Scouts and Filipino guerilla fighters, was making its way behind enemy lines, traveling over 30 mile to get to the camp. Unbelievably successful, the raid only lasted 30 minutes, with the U.S./Filipino forces only suffering 17 casualties and the Japanese suffering hundreds. Utilizing local support and carabao carts, 513 POWs were saved from Cabanatuan.
1 Captain Robert Trimble's Mission
A relatively unassuming 25-year-old pilot, Captain Robert Trimble was the chief part of one of the largest POW rescues of all time. The date was February 15, 1945; the location was Soviet territory in Ukraine.[18] The Red Army had overrun thousands of miles of land in their pursuit of the Germans and swallowed up a number of Allied POWs along the way. Trimble was brought there under the guise of flying out repaired aircraft, nothing that would raise the suspicion of Russian authorities.
However, when he arrived, Trimble was informed of a small change to his orders: he'd actually be working with spies in order to discover any American POWs in hiding and get them home. (Other Allied nations were eventually added to the list.) The Russians did not care for captured soldiers, shooting their own, and they were proving to be useless to the Allies in this regard.[19]
By the time the base was closed down on June 23rd, Trimble had managed to get hundreds, if not thousands, of former POWs to safety. Unrecognized by his own country, he was honored by France for getting 400 French women out of Poland and back to their homes.

At the end of the Year dedicated to the Consecrated Life, six young girls profess their first vows in the Congregation of Our Lady of Sion, Jerusalem.
With a simple sentence, these young girls have taken an important commitment.
"Yes, I am ready to accept this call."
They said yes to life of poverty, celibacy and obedience to God and to the principles of the congregation to which they belong. The commitment has been accompanied by a prayer.
"Father, send down Your Spirit upon me, so that, following Mary's example, I accept your word. Father, enkindle in me a response of love and faithfulness. "
These six young girls, formerly novices, professed their first vows in the community of Our Lady of Sion. They came from Guatemala, the Philippines, Egypt and Brazil, and have spent two years in Jerusalem.
JOEY EDUVANE, Philippines
"We have studied and even made apostolic experiences in Jerusalem; some of us in Poland and Egypt. We are very grateful and we give glory to God for this day."
The commitment was made on an important day: the last day of the Year for Consecrated Life. Instituted by Pope Francis, the year began on November 30, 2014 and will end on February 2, 2016.
ROZENI SILVA, Brazil
"Having waited five years to see all our achievements completed in the Year Consecrated to religious Life is a blessing from God, it is like a miracle."
Sr. MAUREE CUSICK, NDS, Congregation Our Lady of Sion
"It is a joy for the congregation, as for other communities, to celebrate the religious and the consecrated life and to honor the importance of all the charisms of religious life for the Church"
When he organized a Year dedicated to the Consecrated people, Pope Francis said he expected each religious to look at the history of their religious institution with gratitude, to live the present with enthusiasm and to embrace the future with hope.
Fr. CARLOS VASCONCELOS, NDS, Congregation Our Lady of Sion
"The different charisms of the various congregations, religious institutions and historic orders give more life to the Church. We bring the Church to places where the secular clergy can not go. Therefore, I think that religious life in the Church is of vital importance."
In the apostolic letter written on the occasion of the opening of the Year of Consecrated Life, the Holy Father also highlighted the necessity of the testimony. He said that the life of every consecrated person should be an example for others, a life that reveals the joy and beauty of living the Gospel and follow Christ.

Gang attacks court president's home
By webmaster Last updated Mar 20, 2010
Pascalinah Kabi
SETLEKETSENG — A Setleketseng local court president is lucky to be alive after armed assailants attacked her residence on Tuesday night, shooting dead her security guard in the process.
Pontšo Serame — who stays in a government house in Chief Ramabanta Matete's village of Lithathane in Setleketseng — only managed to escape after hiding in a kitchen corner throughout the night.
Her security guard, Moro Makhanya, was shot four times during the assault.
Under Lesotho's dual legal system, the country has local courts that deal with matters involving customary law.
The attack, which has left the Lithathane community in a state of shock, came hardly a month after Serame handled a dispute between two local chiefs over grazing land.
Police spokesperson Senior Inspector Masupha Masupha on Friday confirmed the incident, adding that Serame had reported the case at Roma Police Station on Wednesday.
"A local court president in Setleketseng, aged 45 years, reported a case that she and her security guard were attacked on Tuesday night at around 10pm," Masupha said.
"Police have opened a case of attempted murder and murder following the death of a 50-year-old security guard.
"According to the report, it is suspected that the people who attacked the Setleketseng local court president were not satisfied with the judgment she had passed.
"The report further says the guard had told the president that there were people threatening to kill her because of a certain ruling she had passed.
"Investigations are still continuing."
The attack against Serame was on Wednesday also confirmed by an information officer at the Maseru Magistrate's Court, Nthabiseng Mohale.
Mohale told the Sunday Express that although Serame escaped unharmed she had to be admitted at Roma Hospital on Wednesday and was released the same day.
"She was in shock," Mohale said.
"Up to now she cannot believe she managed to escape this horrific attack.
"We suspect the attack was a result of one of her recent judgments.
"But we can't disclose more details because it could jeopardise police investigations."
The Setleketseng local court, Mohale said, had been closed until further notice because of the attack.
When the Sunday Express crew on Friday visited Lithathane village, 75km south-east of Maseru, residents who spoke on condition of anonymity said the incident had "shocked" the community.
Serame, according to one of the villagers, had left for her family home in Mohale's Hoek on Wednesday evening.
Efforts by the Sunday Express to reach her for comment on Friday were unsuccessful as her mobile phone was continuously on voicemail.
But according to the villager, the attack was "well planned".
It took place when it was raining "heavily" in the village.
"Serame last month passed a judgment in a case involving two local chiefs (names supplied) who were fighting over pastureland (maboella)," he said.
"One of the chiefs won the case but the villagers who lost left the court very bitter.
"The men were chanting mangaee (initiation chants) while the women were singing in a van.
"They were saying some people were going to pay dearly for the lost grazing land."
On Tuesday Serame — who had asked for Makanya's protection as her husband is said to be working in the mines in South Africa — suddenly found herself under attack.
"From what the court president told us, Makhanya was confronted by armed men who started shooting as soon as he opened the door," the villager said. "He died instantly."
The assailants, the villager told the Sunday Express, allegedly tried to force their way into the house but Serame locked the door.
"Serame told us she used her furniture to further fortify the entrance," he said.
"She said when the attackers failed to gain entrance they started stoning her home, shattering the front window panes.
"She said she then crawled under her kitchen table and spent the whole night hiding under the table.
"The attackers were so brazen she said they were using vehicle headlights to monitor movement inside the house.
"She said they only left in the early hours of Wednesday morning."

The view in Utqiaġvik, Alaska, for the next 65 days.
Utqiaġvik, Alaska, had its last sunrise of the year on Sunday.
The northernmost US city won't see the sun again for 65 days.
Utqiaġvik has about 4,400 residents, who are used to the polar night.
Utqiaġvik, Alaska, the northernmost city in the US, had its last sunrise of the year on Sunday.
This city, which was previously called Barrow, won't see the sun again for 65 days. The next sunrise will appear on January 23.
Utqiaġvik experiences polar night, which is a period of darkness in the winter with no sunrises that occurs in cities inside the polar circles.
According to Weather.com, "From mid-November through late January, the sun doesn't rise north of the Arctic Circle due to the tilt of the Earth away from the sun's most direct radiation."
Located 330 miles above the Arctic Circle, Utqiaġvik won't be plunged into complete darkness for the next two months. Instead, it will experience "civil twilight," which happens when the sun is 6 degrees below the horizon and creates a little illumination to see things outside. Civil twilight lasts for six hours a night, but it will decrease to three hours a night by the end of December.
Utqiaġvik's 4,400 residents are used to the polar night. The city is home to a large population of indigenous Iñupiaq people and houses several research stations.
After 65 days without sunlight this winter, residents can look forward to 80 days without a sunset starting in May.

Mantua was a small, damp, malaria-plagued town, but it occupied a strategic position along the route linking Italy and Germany. From 1327 it was under the control of the landowning Gonzaga family. Ludovico Gonzaga, who became marquis in 1444, served as condottiere for many more powerful cities, including Milan, Florence, Venice, and Naples, and was an astute politician. He also launched the transformation of Mantua into a center of Renaissance culture.
Ludovico's first major commission seems to have been awarded around 1447 to Pisanello, leading artist of the international Gothic style. Rich, ornate, and decorative, the style held great appeal for aristocratic patrons. In Mantua, Pisanello began work on frescoes illustrating Arthurian legends, but they were never completed. Within a decade or so, Ludovico's tastes had radically changed. He left behind the Gothic style in favor of the classical language of ancient Roman art. The Gothic style may have been more "modern," but it was also increasingly outdated. The shift placed him and his court in the vanguard—culturally—in a way he could not achieve in political or military realms.
This striking bust of Andrea Mantegna, who was known mostly as a painter but who also made sculpture, is part of his own funerary monument. He filled the monument with references to ancient art. The bust, a Roman form made of bronze, the noblest material of ancient sculpture, is set in front of an ancient porphyry disk within in a round frame. The effect recalls Roman clypeate portraits. The inscription, in Latin, reads, "You who see the bronze likeness of Aeneas [sic] Mantegna know that he is equal if not superior to Apelles." Not only does it draw a parallel to the most celebrated painter of ancient Greece, but the artist's own name, Andrea, is altered to match that of Rome's greatest mythological hero.
That the artist was given permission to install his funerary chapel inside the church of S. Andrea is an indication of his standing with the Gonzaga. The medieval monastery had been transformed by Federigo and Alberti into a splendid Renaissance building. Mantegna purchased land behind the church so that no future building would block the light that fell into the chapel through a circular window.
Perhaps Ludovico was swayed by the humanist interests of Pius II during the pontiff's stay in Mantua in 1459–60 (discussed earlier). The pope was then setting out to transform his birthplace into an ideal Renaissance city (renamed Pienza). Influence in that direction must also have come from architect and theorist Leon Battista Alberti, a member of the papal entourage. Later, Alberti worked closely with the marquis on projects that gave Mantua splendid Renaissance edifices and harmonious public spaces. Ludovico's new tastes were in evidence by 1460, when he lured Andrea Mantegna, widely recognized for his "archaeological" style, to Mantua as court artist (see Mantegna and the Court Artist).
Mantegna studied Roman reliefs and sarcophagi to glean authentic details and worked with scholars to learn more from ancient histories by Plutarch, Appian, and Suetonius. His archaeological approach is apparent in a series of paintings illustrating the triumph of Caesar. For some period in the 1490s, the paintings were used as theater decoration, but their original location and the details about who commissioned them remain unclear. It was likely Francesco Gonzaga, or perhaps his father. The paintings were acquired by the English king Charles I in the early seventeenth century. Before they left Italy, however, they were widely copied and reproduced in prints, helping establish Mantegna's reputation.
When he agreed to work for the Gonzaga, Mantegna was given lodging for himself and his family, annual stores of food for six, firewood and other supplies, and fine crimson cloth for his livery. His initial salary of 180 ducats a year placed him in the same financial position as a prosperous merchant or skilled tradesman. Ludovico was apparently not always prompt with payment and sometimes compensated Mantegna with grants of land in lieu of cash (read Mantegna's complaint to his patron. Except for a couple of years spent in Rome, Mantegna remained in Mantua the rest of his life, serving three generations of Gonzaga patrons.
The court artist's salary was not a payment for works produced so much as it was a reward for his talent and invention. Wages could vary widely: Pisanello was paid 400 ducats a year when he worked in Naples, but Cosmè Tura received only 60 in Ferrara. Rulers also sometimes paid the dowries of artists' daughters and made other financial arrangements.


Signs that your parrot trusts you!
It takes time before your parrot will trust you. With our parrot, I can definitely see some things which clearly shows that she trusts us.
2. Another thing which makes clear that she trusts us is that we can put her on her back and touch her everywhere we want. She obviously doesn't like it very much, but she remains calm.
3. Often she runs after me when she can walk through the house. When I walk into the kitchen, she follows me, and when I walk into the living room she comes after me. She also makes a run when I hold my hand on the ground. And then she steps on it off course.
4. She eats out of our hands.
5. Our hands can do everything in her cage. Both as she sits in the cage, and if she is not in it. We can touch her food and her toys without a problem.

Off-Road Trails: Massachusetts
The state might be small, but there are several great off-road riding locations
Photo credit: GagliardiPhotography/Shutterstock.com
Massachusetts doesn't have as many riding areas open to SXS vehicles as some other states, but the places that are open for families to enjoy their vehicles make the best of the available land. In Massachusetts, life is better on a Honda.
Two state forest systems are vastly different from each other. While one has more of a laid-back, cruising-friendly trail system, the other has a tough mudder-style of trail system with steep hills, rocky terrain, and challenging mud puddles. Then, you have the ultimate track and trail system at the other riding area in this state. In all, the diversification of this state's riding areas makes this the perfect place to take your side-by-side, especially if you are venturing out in a unit like the Honda Talon.
With the state being compact in size, riders are never far away from supplies when venturing out to these trails. Make sure you pack it in and pack it out when you go to these locations.
Size 22 Acres
Skill Level All
Trailhead Charlton, Mass.
508 is a relatively small facility at 22 acres, but the park makes the most of the available riding area with tracks, open tree-lined trails, and more open riding area to enjoy in your SXS. With the rock crawling courses and multiple terrain options here, a versatile and comfortable vehicle like the Honda Talon 1000X Fox Live Valve would be the ideal choice to take to this riding area. In addition to the off-road riding potential here, there are other activities like rock climbing, boarding, and slacklining, just to name a few. This facility is just off the thoroughfare, too, making it close to all the necessities.
Distance 16 Miles
Trailhead Pittsfield, Mass.
Pittsfield State Forest
If you're looking for tree-lined backroads to take your family SXS on, the Pittsfield State Forest could be your ultimate destination in the state of Massachusetts. Pittsfield has many trails that are fast and smooth. In fact, there are about 16 miles total. If you're into hiking or mountain biking, there are also a ton of trails in this area for those activities. In total, the forest extends out for 11,000 acres and includes a large diversity of terrain.
Distance 16.4 Miles
Skill Level Experienced
Trailhead Monterey, Mass.
Beartown State Forest
Similar to the Pittsfield trail system, Beartown State Forest has about 16.4 miles of trails. However, the Pittsfield system is more geared towards beginner drivers or those who want a relaxing ride, whereas the Beartown location has more challenging trails made up of chunk rock, mud puddles, tree roots, steep hilly sections, and loose terrain. In all, you need a vehicle up for a bit of a challenge when you go to this riding area, and the ultra-capable Honda Talon 1000X Fox Live Valve will be up for the task. Plus, this two-seater allows you to take a passenger along for the thrilling ride. There isn't anything better than that! Look for wildlife while you are at this location, and be sure you pay the fee at the entrance to the Ranger Station (fees are enforced May to Labor Day).
