Tavern on the Green's Beverage Director Jordan Tannenbaum has crafted a cocktail menu featuring New York inspired beverages inspired by the five boroughs. Check out his Manhattan and his riff on the Manhattan, The Brooklyn.
The Manhattan features Breuckelen 77 Rye Whiskey, VYA Vermouth and Angostura Bitters.
Preparation: Stir, strain into chilled coupe. Garnish with brandied cherry.
A Central Park staple, the historic Tavern on the Green has been capturing the spirit of New York City since 1934. In 2014, co-owners Jim Caiola and David Salama (previously of Beau Monde and L'Etage in Philadelphia) re-opened Tavern with a completely redesigned space and menu that harkens back to the original landmark featuring warm, celebratory dining spaces, seasonal American fare, classic cocktails, and a robust wine list. Jim and David selected Bill Peet (formerly of Asia de Cuba, Café des Artistes & Patroon) as Executive Chef for the revival of Tavern, who has reinvigorated the menu with creative takes on classic dishes.

Our legislators in Olympia are facing two deficits in the special session to deal with the gap in the 2011-2013 state budget: the first is a $2 billion shortfall, and the second is a lack of courage to address it.
Already, Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown has indicated the Legislature will spend next week piecing together a down payment of "several hundred million dollars" (reportedly about $400 million) of cuts, then adjourn until January. Although these are considered the "low hanging fruit", the less contentious of the cuts needed, even this partial solution requires a lot of work behind closed doors. A title-only bill has been submitted, to be filled in by the Ways and Means Committee with the details of any agreement, followed by a quick discussion, vote and adjournment by the end of next week.
This has become standard practice in recent years, as legislators wait until the last moment to produce a narrowly balanced budget filled with half measures and temporary fixes, then exit Olympia quickly in the hope that no one notices. What is missing is the courage to openly and honestly address the state's budget woes; to discuss in public the programs that need to be cut and why, to reform the programs that are routinely the source of overspending, and to rein in those programs that increase each year at an unsustainable rate.
While Gov. Christine Gregoire has challenged the Legislature to balance the budget by the end of the special session, her solution is just an example of more cowardice. She balances the budget by making unacceptable cuts to the most basic state services (a shorter school year and early release of prisoners, for example). Crying crocodile tears for the cuts she was "forced" to make, she then offers the voters a chance to buy back these cuts by voting to raise their taxes. If her scheme succeeds, it is the worse kind of crude political blackmail; if voters refuse to play (as is likely) and turn down the tax increase, she dooms the Legislature to yet another special session, another round of procrastination.
Now is the time for Washingtonians to call their representatives in Olympia and demand that they stop wasting time avoiding what must be done: produce a balanced State budget with real cuts and real reforms, one that is genuine and sustainable, and finally brings an end to the budget games.

Townhall's Shapiro: Obama "Mince[s] About Like A Coed," Suffers From "Psychological Condition"
The bar is pretty high [1], but Townhall's Ben Shapiro may have outdone himself with his latest anti-Obama screed [2]:
Obama is the "Girls Gone Wild" president: Stick a lens in front of him and he'll take off his shirt, mince about like a coed, and babble nonsensical nothings to an audience oddly fascinated by his antics.
Wow. That's pretty bad. The verb "mince" is often used as an anti-gay pejorative [3].
Shapiro then goes on to diagnose the president with what he claims is "clearly a psychological condition," presumably drawing on the extensive psychiatric expertise he developed by staying in a Holiday Inn Express last night:
Obama's desperate need for attention is clearly a psychological condition. He drinks in applause like a washed-up movie star. It is usual for neglected children to develop narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), typically characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, a strong sense of entitlement, preoccupations with utopian fantasies, elitism, manipulative tendencies and pathological need for praise.
President Obama was abandoned by his parents during childhood. Now he exhibits the textbook symptoms of NPD. He thinks his powers are godlike in import; "I have a gift, Harry," Obama once told Sen. Harry Reid. He believes he is entitled to positions of power and prestige. He has never worked a real job in his life, yet deigns to tell the rest of us that he embodies our hopes and dreams.
Yeah, it's so weird that the President of the United States thinks he's "entitled to positions of power and prestige"! (Or maybe, as President, Obama simply holds a position of power and prestige?) Sadly, running the executive branch of government for the most powerful nation on earth isn't a "real job," according to Townhall columnist Ben Shapiro, whose bio notes he is also "a regular guest on dozens of radio shows around the United States and Canada."

Journeyman Protectors were lawmen from the Mandalorian world of Concord Dawn. CC-1138 was one of the few clone troopers who trained with an ex-Journeyman Protector, which for some explained his reputation as a loner.

The quilt is green, blue and tan.
It has squares that are intersected by bright strips of fabric.

Next I added squiggly lines that cross the squares.
I prayed for this young man as I quilted.
I had such a sense of peace as I worked on it.
I hope the quilt will provide him the same sense of peace.

Deadliest Warrior: Ancient Combat, the Deadliest Warrior game compilation, is finally coming to the Xbox 360 and PS3 in mid-April, and 345 Games and Spike TV released a new batch of screens showing off a bit of the action.
The latest media highlights a few of the historical fighters as they throw down in the Graveyard, a brand new stage created for Ancient Combat.
In addition to bringing brutal combat, graphic slaughter, and a veritable "who's who" of the most famous soldiers and fighters across history, Deadliest Warrior: Ancient Combat brings never before released episodes of the show to players, the new Graveyard level, and 30 new weapons. Why your friends would choose to miss out on this package is beyond us, but just in case, rest assured that you'll be able to play with gamers who have the digital versions of either previous iteration.

PlaceMaker: California Academy of Science's Ike Kwon Talks about Family and Our Parks
Thursday, Aug 17, 2017 Category Park Management
ADD TO iCal Google Calendar
Ike Kwon and his mother __ Kwon with his shadow box at the Presidio Visitor Center opening.
Ike Kwon, Chief Operating Officer for the California Academy of Sciences, is a man connected to his community. The Chicago native moved to San Francisco in 2008 and now serves as a Public Utilities Commissioner and as an Executive Committee board member for the San Francisco Travel Association. Ike also volunteers with numerous community groups, including Korean Martial Arts Center, Friends of the Urban Forest, Inner Sunset Merchants and Park Neighbors, and Cornerstone Church of San Francisco. In May 2013, he was recognized by Supervisor Katy Tang as an Asian Pacific Islander Leader in San Francisco. He lives in the Sunset with his wife and two daughters.
In February, the Presidio invited Ike to express his love for the city and the Presidio by creating a "shadow box" in the new Presidio Visitor Center. Using art, he answered the question, "What does the Presidio mean to you?" His box represents his experience growing up with parents who are immigrants from Korea, his love for the outdoors, and the Academy's partnerships with the Presidio. We caught up with Ike to learn more.
You have multiple ties to the Presidio – tell us a little bit about the objects in your shadow box at the Presidio Visitor Center?
I included images about the Korean War, photos of my family, and aspects of nature and the outdoors. My parents immigrated to the United States from Korea, and I grew up with a strong sense that without the intervention of the U.S. military in Korea, we wouldn't be here. I also grew up visiting our national parks, so nature and the outdoors have always been a big part of my life. A love for parks has been passed down through the generations in my family – from my parents to me, and now to my daughters. I regularly get outside and visit our parks, particularly Golden Gate Park and the Presidio.
You have images of military planes in your box – what are those about?
I've always been interested in U.S. military aviation history. My parents are survivors of World War II and the Korean War, and I grew up hearing about American jets streaking across the sky during the Korean War, and how my parents arrived in the U.S. by plane.
I also have a photo of my father in my shadow box. A few years ago, my father, Nathan Kwon, wrote his memoirs, The Weight of My Dreams: A Young Korean Man's Journey of Faith. In it, he talks about his life during the war and his struggles to survive. My dad really wanted to attend the opening for the Korean War Memorial in the Presidio in 2016, but he passed away right before it opened. Nevertheless, the memorial is very important for my family – it provides a physical place to go and reflect on what happened during the war. It's a reminder for Korean Americans about how we got here.
How did you get interested in nature and the outdoors?
My family believes our national parks are one of America's greatest gifts, and I grew up visiting national parks with my parents. My mom and dad would drive my brother and I all around the country in an old Oldsmobile, and we'd visit places like the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, and Glacier Lake. My father used to say, "We need to get out and enjoy God's creation." He bought a Coleman stove and a tent from Sears Roebuck and we'd camp out, fish, and explore nature. Everywhere we went, my immigrant parents would cook Korean food, and people camping next to us would smell it and come over and talk to us and ask questions.
I recently did a trip around our parks and it made me realize, the parks haven't changed much since I was little. There were still buses everywhere and it was pretty diverse. It made me see that though I was traveling through red states and blue states, we have more in common than you might expect. Nature draws everyone in.
How does your work at the California Academy of Sciences influence the way you look at our parks?
Though I'm not a scientist, I appreciate nature and exploring the outdoors. I've learned there are things I can do to support the parks. For instance, I'm a weekend hiker, and my daughter is an avid birder. Her love for birds has gotten me to visit places I never would have, and I use the Academy's iNaturalist app wherever we go to discover wildlife.
If you haven't used this app, it's pretty great – you upload an image of a bird or plant through a phone, give it a location, and share discoveries with the larger community. It's citizen science, fun, and incredibly useful information for researchers, like those at the Academy. This is something that allows everyone – scientists at the Academy and ecologists at the Presidio – to stay informed, share data, and work toward biodiversity.
Over the years, the Academy's scientists have worked closely with the Presidio at Mountain Lake. Every day, visitors contribute their observations to iNaturalist. Often Academy visitors ask us, "What can I do?" To be able to point people to a park like the Presidio and say, "Here's what we're doing at Mountain Lake" and here's what you can do, is really important. The Presidio is right here in our backyard, it's a great hotspot for biodiversity, and it's ready to explore!

My name is Cheng Imm Tan.
"I speak English. Why should I be scared?"
CHENG IMM TAN'S FIRST DAY
Cheng Imm Tan came to the US from Malaysia as a student in 1978. The way she tells it, her parents were against the idea, but she was determined.
She researched American colleges that had accepted Malaysian students before, and randomly sent out applications. Soon enough, she'd landed herself a scholarship from Wilson College in Chambersburg — a small town in southern Pennslyvania.
On the plane ride over, she remembers sitting next to a businessman.
"Aren't you scared?" he asked her.
"I speak English," she replied. "Why should I be scared?"
She touched down in Philadelphia and remembers an interminable three-hour drive to Chambersburg.
"I lived on an island that takes an hour and a half to go around slowly," she says. "I couldn't believe how far we had to go to get to the college."
She'll never forget her first night.
She was dropped off with a host family near campus. They showed her her room and let her settle in. A few minutes later, the woman of the household came upstairs to ask Tan if she wanted some supper. "Oh, no thank you," Tan told her. "I'm not hungry."
"Are you sure you're not hungry?" the woman asked.
"Yes, I'm really sure. I'm not hungry. Thank you so much." And then, to Tan's astonishment, the woman said, "Okay. We'll see you tomorrow then," and she went back downstairs.
"I was like, 'What?' I was starving! In my culture you never let anyone go to bed hungry! You never let anyone come into your house without eating anything. You always feed them, and they always protest, and you always insist they eat, and this is a ritual. Eventually, everybody eats. I went to bed that night hungry!" Tan recalls.
Tan was in for another bit of culture shock when she got to campus.
Once she moved into her dorm, she wanted to take a shower. She was shown a bathroom with a tub, but no shower. "I'll take a bath then," she thought to herself.
Back home, in Malaysia, she was accustomed to taking a bath in a wet bathroom with a drain in the floor. She would fill a concrete tub with water and then use a pail to scoop warm water and pour it over herself. The excess water went down the drain. But this bathroom at Wilson College didn't seem to have a drain in the floor.
"It must be American higher technology," she thought. "There must be some way the water drains out that I don't know about."
There was no pail either. So she went to her room, retrieved a coffee mug, filled the bathtub and started washing herself the way she used to back home. Soon, she heard a knock on the door.
A fellow student called out to her, "Why is there water flowing out of the bathroom?"
She realized, with horror, there really was no drain.
"When I reflect on it, you know, it makes me laugh," she says. "But it also makes me think, 'Wow, wouldn't it be nice if somebody knew enough to orient us a little bit more?'"
Tan says these were minor incidents compared to the larger challenge of understanding how people related to one another, and the pain of isolation she felt in her early years here.
She went on to study at Harvard Divinity School. A professor there helped her realize that some of what she was experiencing, especially her sense of being invisible, was actually the result of racism. She remembers thinking it couldn't be racism because she was Chinese.
"What I didn't know is there are many faces of racism," Tan says. "I didn't know about the history of Asians in this country. I didn't think racism existed against Asians ,and particularly against Chinese people." Tan says the experience politicized her. "When you begin to understand the different ways in which people are marginalized, and you have a structure and a framework to understand it, you want to change it."
Tan ended up settling in Boston. She became an ordained minister in the Unitarian Universalist Church. She made a career as an advocate for women and immigrants, most notably as founding director of the Mayor's Office of New Bostonians, helping immigrant communities "move from the margins to the center." She also founded the Asian Task Force Against Domestic Violence, started a food pantry for the Asian community called Ricesticks and Tea, and leads the much-loved Gund Kwok, an Asian Women's Lion and Dragon Dance Troupe.
It seems fitting, after the ordeals she weathered during her first days in the US, that Cheng Imm Tan has now launched a private coaching practice to help foreigners integrate into American life.
"Immigrant communities are the core communities of the American psyche," she says. "Every generation of immigrants has come because they have a dream and a vision. Without that dream and that vision we wouldn't be the country we are today."

The next step is to knock out most of the scenery. I finished the big mountain that contains the mine the same way I did the diorama. I stacked the 2 inch extruded foam and cut it to shape to allow for the three tracks that go through the mountain. Again, I didn't smoothe the edges, but left it rough cut to suggest a terrain like a quarry.
I dug out the slime pit and stream, then sealed the bottom with patching plaster to give some texture and hide the plywood grain. Then I covered it with Sculpamold to smooth the banks to give some texture. I glued down some small rocks ("talus") to simulate the rocky planet surface. The extruded foam has score marks every 16 inches, so I covered those with plaster as well. The whole thing was painted Peking Orange and then weathered and blended with various ruddy shades from rattle cans. I even created a bit of a cave on top in case there happens to be a spider robot that needs a place to hide!
Inside the mountains of the Mines of Xenon model railroad. Some final clearance work and painting still needs to be done.
The bottom of the stream was painted various shades of green starting with bright on the outer edges and then blending towards black in the center. I'll add some reeds and debris in the next step.
I needed a little more room at the end where the turbo station is under a hill, so I extended the passenger (white) track another couple of inches. Two inches is a lot of room when you're making an underground tunnel! I also deconstructed the Turbo Train power section and moved the connector parts under the layout and fed power to the track with standard feeder wires. The result looks much better.
And I got some new work vehicles suitable for the environment. Jurassic Park? Who cares! Fun!
Next we'll finish detailing the slime pond and creek bed and pour the resin.

Alloy 20 likewise regularly alluded as UNS NO8020, is a high compound extraordinary alloy 20 grade with phenomenal imperviousness to sulfuric corrosive and chloride stress consumption breaking. The compound contains nickel, chromium, molybdenum and copper substance which together help in giving great general erosion resistance. As a result of great imperviousness to erosion, fissure consumption, and setting, this alloy 20 compound is broadly utilized for assembling tanks, heat exchangers, handle piping and tubing gear. Alloy 20 tube fittings, Alloy 20 flanges and other Alloy 20 grade items are utilized in different applications all through the concoction procedure industry, pharmaceuticals, engineered elastic, plastics, modern warming hardware, mash and paper fabricating. Alloy 20 fittings can be supplied in slice to length sizes furthermore machined or created to meet your piping prerequisites.
Pipes are tubular products made up of flat plates, known as skelp that are formed, bent and arranged for welding. The most renowned process for large diameter pipe uses a longstanding weld. In simpler terms welded pipes are those that are welded together by the edges of an iron plate or skelp (a strip of metal) to form a tube. Spirally welded pipes are alternative processes, radially weld formation allows large diameter tube to be produced from narrower plates or skelp. The flaws that occur in spirally welded tube are mainly those associated with the weld, and are similar in nature to those for longstanding welded pipe. Seamless pipe as the name suggests is a pipe without a seam or a weld joint in contrast to Seam or Welded pipe. Seamless pipes, also called the CDs Pipes (Cold Drawn pipes) are solid carbon steel rods which are pushed onto the mandrel to form the shape of a tube. Mandrel is a rod around which metal or other material is forged or shaped. In a Seam pipe, or the weld-joint is the weaker part of the pipe limiting the strength of the pipe to the power of weld-joint whereas seamless pipe does not have any such joint and thus has uniform structure & strength all over the pipe body. Earlier seamless pipe was regarded as withstanding pressure better than other types, and was often more easily available than welded pipe.
The best point of interest of alloy 20 pipes is their expanded capacity to withstand weight. It is additionally much less demanding to decide PSI counts without taking prerequisite of the weld quality into thought. Despite the fact that pipe can some of the time be more costly, its expanded capacity to withstand weight permits you to utilize alloy 20 pipes that are more slender and lighter, which eliminates costs.
Since alloy 20 pipes are wrapped around another structure before it is welded, and in light of the fact that welding promotions warmth, stress and different unessential variables to the framing procedure, it can never be as round as alloy 20 pipes.
This is on the grounds that it has more prominent quality under stacking. Vacant channel should dependably bolster its own weight, however when funnel is loaded with material or under burden it should bolster that weight too. Funnel disappointments and holes in alloy 20 pipes more often than not happen at the welded crease.
Thinner and lighter than different tubes.
Solid around the whole outline of the pipe. Perform well in brutal conditions, i.e. they can be utilized as a part of to a great degree chilly or hot situations.

Henri Pérignon (ur. 14 października 1879 w Sèvres, zm. 18 czerwca 1990 w Deauville) – Francuz, znany z długowieczności, przez osiem ostatnich dni życia uważany za najstarszego żyjącego mężczyznę na świecie.

Tytuł najstarszego mężczyzny, oznaczający faktycznie najstarszą osobę o zweryfikowanej dacie urodzenia, przypadł mu po śmierci Walijczyka Johna Evansa. Miał wówczas 110 lat 239 dni. Zmarł osiem dni po Evansie, a miano nestora przeszło na Amerykanina Jamesa Wigginsa, młodszego od Pérignona zaledwie o jeden dzień. Przez pewien czas należał do niego rekord długowieczności Francji mężczyzn, poprawiony później przez pochodzącego z Algierii Emile Fourdace (zm. 1995), a wśród rdzennych Francuzów - przez Maurice Floqueta (zm. 2006).

Tuż przed śmiercią został odznaczony Legią Honorową.

Dr Who fever sweeps nation as 10million fans prepare to tune in for finale
By Paul Revoir for MailOnline
Updated: 19:40 EDT, 4 July 2008
More than 10million viewers are expected for tonight's finale of the latest Dr Who series amid anguished debate over whether David Tennant's Time Lord will be killed off.
Last week's cliffhanger saw his character beginning to regenerate, which happens every time a new Doctor Who is introduced.
The plot line for tonight's episode has remained such a closely guarded secret that the BBC has banned any preview tapes.
Fever pitch: Ten million fans are set to tune into Dr Who's finale on Saturday
The uncertainty over the fate of the character has sparked a rash of weird and wonderful predictions among the show's fans.
There are numerous conspiracy theories, including the suggestion that the entire current series will be shown to be 'not real' .
Some are predicting that Tennant will be replaced by the first Time Lady, with current sidekick Donna, played by Catherine Tate, being tipped. Enlarge
Under attack: The penultimate episode, called The Stolen Earth, was watched by 7.4 million people on Saturday
Other seasoned fans believe she will be killed off in tonight's show, following last week's action which saw the Doctor shot by a Dalek.
There is also a well- supported and widely-rumoured theory that rather than being replaced, Tennant will regenerate into two doctors, both played by him.
Adding to the confusion is the previously stated fact that the current Doctor Who star will appear in at least four more specials.
Such is the speculation amongst fans that some have claimed that announcement was all a big 'hoax' to hide the fact that he is leaving tonight.
Battle: Dr Who's old enemy, the Daleks
Others have suggested that the four specials, taking place before the next full series of the show in 2010, will pre-date the character's death.
Many believe that even if Tennant does not go tonight, he is unlikely to return for the full series in two years.
Among those being tipped to replace him are the bookmakers' favourite Robert Carlyle as well as Jason Statham and Alan Davies.
Other names in the frame are believed to be Simon Pegg and Cold Feet star James Nesbitt.
Some fans fear that the BBC has been using the suggestion of a new Time Lord as a cheap ratings ploy.
On the show's many associated fan websites there is widespread criticism that this is just a ' windup'.
An avid viewer said it would be a 'dreadful trick' to promise this most 'dramatic turn of events' and then for it not to happen.
One said: 'The fact that they are using regeneration as a cliff-hanger gimmick here, would suggest to me that he isn't going anywhere for some considerable time to come.'
Another added: 'Of course it's a ploy. A ploy to get people to watch the last episode, that's why if a regeneration doesn't happen it seems like a cheap nasty cop-out and there is no need to do it.'
One cynical fan said: 'It's a windup. No way would they let David Tennant go without some decent parting words.'


1. Continuing your business without a website.
Running a business without a website and hoping to make waves in the Internet economy is like sending out leaky canoes in a race against powerboats. You wont get far from your local status and cant compete against your competitors that do have a website. Continuing your business without a website will continue the disconnect between your business and the growing number of consumers who are constantly online searching for your services. The lack of online presence could be keeping entrepreneurs from millions of customers which results in millions of dollars.
The number of people in the United States who shop online is around 75 million. If a company or a small business doesn't have an online presence, they are missing a huge percentage of the population that could be shopping at their store or choosing them for their services. Its doesn't matter what type of business you have, a website is extremely beneficial to put you on the map. 9 times out of 10 your competitors have one and by you not having a website, you might as well hand them over your potential clientele. This not only cuts you off from consumers but from great opportunities to hire great employees, gaining investors/sponsorship, selling products/services online and increasing revenue, which is all needed to grow. 96% of people research a product or service online before they buy. The Score survey found that 91 percent of consumers who have a positive experience on a company's website end up visiting the business. So Lets Get Started Today!
2. Using Printed ads only and not using videos to market.
Lets face it, a flyer, poster or business card will not be enough to engage your audience to just immediately do business with you. It helps and it definitely is needed but that alone will only do so much. You need to cover all areas of marketing and one powerful tool that seems to captivate any audience is video. Online video is one the most effective ways to engage your audience to explain your message to increase sales, improve your ranking in search results and overall bringing awareness of your brand.
I want to share with you 12 benefits on video marketing and how important they are. Click here to see how each of these steps are important.
1. Video is where your customers spend their time.
2. Video is already helping your competition.
4. Video is shared easily and frequently.
5. Video levels the playing field.
6. Video entertains, educates, and inspires.
7. Video allows for real-time feedback and interaction.
9. Video lives forever, making it more cost-effective over time.
10. Video is one click away from the 'buy' button.
11. Video is about selling, not just playing around.
3. Not using SEO and Not marketing enough.
The majority of web traffic is driven by the major commercial search engines – Google, Bing and Yahoo!.
Although social media and other types of traffic can generate visits to your website, search engines are the primary method of navigation for most Internet users. This is true whether your site provides content, services, products, information or just about anything else.
Search engines are unique in that they provided targeted traffic – people looking for what you offer. Search engines are the roadways that makes this happen.
If your site cannot be found by search engines or your content cannot be put into their databases, you miss out on incredible opportunities available to websites provided via search.
Search queries, the words that users type into the search box, carry extraordinary value. Experience has shown that search engine traffic can make (or break) an organization's success.
Targeted visitors to a website can provide publicity, revenue, and exposure like no other channel of marketing. Investing in SEO, whether through time or finances, can have an exceptional rate of return compared to other types of marketing and promotion. Learn more about SEO here.
The cost of not having a website is much higher than the cost of building a website, especially in this day and age.

September 15 ~� Enterprise Thought and Perception Everyday Grace: Having Hope
"It is the lone worker who makes the first advance in a subject: the details may be worked out by a team, but the prime idea is due to the enterprise, thought and perception of an individual."~ Alexander Fleming
One man discovered one of the most important contributions to medicine--penicillin--on this day in 1928... and it was an accident!
British bacteriologist Alexander Fleming (1881-1955) discovered how bread mold, which had accidentally contaminated a staphylococcus culture, stopped the bacteria's growth.
"A simple chance observation," Fleming said. "One sometimes finds what one is not looking for."
The active ingredient in that mold-- what Fleming called penicillin--killed germs. This discovery, what Fleming called a triumph of accident," changed the world.
With further work by other scientists, penicillin helped fight infections in World War II. With the discovery of higher-yielding molds, penicillium was used to treat such deadly diseases as pneumonia, diphtheria, syphilis, and spinal meningitis.
"A discovery," said Hungarian biochemist Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, "is said to be an accident meeting a prepared mind."
Knighted in 1944, Fleming was a well-disciplined scientist who quickly recognized and acted upon his "accidental" discovery. The father of modern antibiotics, he won the 1945 Nobel Prize for physiology.
"Nature makes penicillin," he said modestly, "I just found it."
Science unravels mysteries and reveals secrets.

Fascism and National Socialism
(Published in Gerarchia, June 6, 1938)
By Rudolf Hess
In the same way in which last year the Italian people followed with great enthusiasm the visit of their Duce to Germany, so in recent days the German people have had their share, and passionately followed the visit of their Führer to your Empire, Italian Fascists! The two great and civil Nations have once again spent days sharing joy, happiness and triumph. They have experienced an atmosphere of sublime awareness, because noble thoughts—conceived by the best minds of the two Empires in a common identity of views—are the source of friendship, and mutual personal friendship between the same two leaders: Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler.
With noble pride, these two great historical figures can now take a retrospective look at the revolutions which they introduced into European and world history: Fascism and National Socialism.
Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler liberated their people from Marxism and saved them from Bolshevism. It is they who gained and ensured political freedom and social justice for their people. It is they who created and animated the vital forces of their Nations, secured the honour of labour, and the honour of all the workers of the two Empires. Through their Parties they have rejuvenated the two countries, transforming them into imperial Nations. Nothing could be more natural, therefore, that both in Germany and in Italy the closest comrades of the Duce and the Führer, the comrades of the first hour, the Old Guard of Fascism and National Socialism have proven an inexpressible satisfaction in this pleasant spring of friendship between the two Revolutions which they serve and the two Leaders whom they obey. For them, these days constitute the radiant apotheosis of their battle.
Fascists! We, the followers of Adolf Hitler, and you, the followers of Benito Mussolini, together we unite in a common pride because we enter into history as men who, at a crucial moment in the development of the life of our people, gave our whole beings over to greater men. Destiny gave them to us in these days of anguish and struggle. They are the chosen spirits of all those who have been born on Italian and German soil.
I salute you, therefore, in the fair waiting for the days ahead: Viva Mussolini! Heil Hitler!

USS Missouri
- darkometer rating: 4 -
The US Navy battleship aboard which the surrender of Japan was signed that finally ended WWII. Before that she had seen action in the battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa. In 1991 she had her final outing in the Gulf War before being finally decommissioned and turned into a museum ship at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, where she is now one of the key attractions.

More background info: The USS Missouri was the fourth and final of the Iowa-class battleships and in fact the very last battleship commissioned into the US Navy. It was also the last one to serve in the Navy, being decommissioned in only 1992.
She was laid on keel in January 1941 at the Brooklyn New York Naval Yard, launched three years later and commissioned on 11 June 1944. She subsequently took part in the Pacific Theatre of WWII, including the battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and in the final stages of the war also shelled the Japanese homeland.
Her most famous hour came at the end of that conflict when she was chosen as the site where the Japanese would sign the so-called "instrument of surrender" with which WWII was finally brought formally to a close. This took place in Tokyo Bay on 2 September 1945, on a small deck below the bridge (and not on the main deck, as many people seem to believe). For the USA the document was signed by Fleet Admiral Nimitz who had been the US Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific War.
For the next ten years the USS Missouri continued service in the US Navy, including a period in which she took part in the Korean War.
In 1955 the battleship was decommissioned but put into the Reserve Fleet. Moored at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington State, she became something of a local tourist attraction. People came to see the history spot on the "surrender deck", which is marked by a bronze plaque.
This came to an end when in the 1980s, under the Reagan Administration, the ship was reactivated as part of the 600-ship-Navy plan. Like her three sister ships, the USS Missouri underwent an extensive modernization/refit programme, which also included arming the ship with cruise missiles (theoretically capable of delivering nuclear warheads), and was formally recommissioned in May 1986.
In the Gulf War between Iraq and the USA and its allies in 1990/91, the USS Missouri saw her last action in combat between January and March 1991, mostly launching Tomahawk cruise missiles against land targets but also for the first time since the Korean War fired her 16-inch main guns.
To cut down on the high maintenance costs in the wake of the end of the Cold War, the last battleships in the US Navy were eventually taken out of service again. The USS Missouri was finally decommissioned in March 1992.
Initially put back in the Reserve Fleet, the ship was then donated to the public to serve as a museum ship at Pearl Harbor in 1998. She was first opened to visitors in early 1999.
It is fitting that the Missouri would join the Pearl Harbor Historic Sites complex, and be moored facing the USS Arizona wreck and memorial. Thus the ship that was the heaviest loss right at the beginning of the war in the Pacific in the attacks on Pearl Harbor in 1941 and the ship aboard which this conflict was formally ended in 1945 were finally brought together.
The USS Missouri is affectionately often also referred to as the "Big Mo", or "Mighty Mo".
What there is to see: potentially a lot, but it's not all obligatory. There are various options for visits. The shortest is joining a 35-minute guided tour that provides a brief overview, including the surrender deck. You can also do a more in-depth self-guided tour, with or without the aid of an audio guide.
Furthermore, you can also take advantage of the offer of special in-depth tours called "The Heart of the Missouri Tour". These literally go into the depths, and heart, of the big ship. It's not suitable for everybody, and without a certain interest in such old maritime technology you could probably do without this extra. Personally, however, I felt connected enough to the maritime theme that I chose this option.
But first let me give a brief overview of the parts of the ship that are accessible to the general public on the normal guided or self-guided tours.
As you approach the big grey hulk of the battleship from the shuttle bus stop, you pass not only countless US flags (there's no doubt which nation you're in here) but also a few memorial plaques, e.g. one for Fleet Admiral Nimitz (see above), as well as a roughly life-size statue of the "victory kiss", a recreation of a famous photo taken during the victory festivities following the end of WWII. (You can also find a giant version of this on the waterfront in San Diego, California, opposite the USS Midway aircraft carrier museum).
Up the gangway onto the main deck of the battleship itself, you are greeted by rangers/guides and can either make your decisions as to what type of tour you want to do – or, if you've pre-purchased a ticket for the Heart of the Missouri Tour, get directions to the meeting point for this tour here.
The main sight that the majority of visitors are most keen on seeing is the "surrender deck", i.e. the historic spot where the "instrument of surrender" by Japan to the Allies was signed. The deck is one level up, underneath the bridge of the ship, in a relatively small area (so NOT on the wide main deck, as many people seem to erroneously presume). The exact spot where the table stood on which the documents were signed is marked by a brass plaque set into the deck. In addition there is a glass display case with copies of the documents, and on the wall to the side is another plaque as well as a US flag behind glass.
With this key historic spot ticked off, you can then go and explore the rest of the ship. You can wander all of the main deck freely, from stern to bow, but you cannot enter any of the big gun turrets. However, you can marvel at a replica shell of the sort these guns would have fired to a distance of up to 23 miles (35 km). They are absolutely gigantic.
The second deck, one level beneath the main deck, is also in large parts freely accessible to visitors. The tour down here follows a suggested circuit, beginning in the crew's mess in the aft.
En route you'll see the cramped sleeping quarters of the ordinary sailors and the enormous galley. The ship had a crew of between 1500 and 2800 in total – imagine cooking for so many eaters. Well, the sizes of the pots and other utensils provide a good impression.
You'll also see cabins of higher ranks, the library, machine shop, dentist's cabin, and so on and so forth. Some parts are more or less in their original state, others contain artefacts and whole exhibitions. These include the history of the ship and its missions in WWII and the Korean War.
When I visited the ship, there was a temporary (?) special exhibition on the topic of kamikaze – done in collaboration with the Chiran Kamikaze Museum in Japan! This is all the more remarkable as the USS Missouri itself was the target of a kamikaze attack in WWII, though it caused only limited damage.
Back outside you can then also climb up further, all the way to the bridge of the ship. En route you can glimpse into the captain's main cabin, the officers' mess and state room, and at the top levels walk through the outer bridge and peek into the navigation bridge inside the armoured core of the bridge. At the slots that serve as "windows" of sorts you can see how enormously thick the steel armour is here. You can also look into the captain's somewhat less glamorous "at sea cabin" (where he at least could rest whilst not being far from the bridge).
From the bridge you can get a good view down over the front of the ship with its two enormous 16-inch gun turrets … and of the USS Arizona Memorial in the distance in the bay.
En route you'll also pass some of the modern arms that the old battleship was refitted with in the 1980s, including the Tomahawk cruise missile launchers with which the Missouri contributed to the Gulf War in early 1991.
Now, what are the extras you get on one of those "Heart of the Missouri Tours"? Well, for starters, you are allowed inside one of the huge gun turrets, you get to see the boiler rooms, the gun-aiming command centre, the infirmary, escape hatches, and much more – you really get to see the inner workings of the ship.
When I went on this tour I was lucky that nobody else had signed up for the same time slot, so I basically had a private one-to-one tour with my veteran guide. This proved of a great advantage, not least for photography!
After a brief intro we started by entering one of the gun turrets. It was surprisingly cramped in here! Information panels and even a video screen complemented the guide's narration.
There were a couple of charts and video screens also at a few other stops deeper down, including the very backbone of the ship, in terms of logistics: "Broadway" That's the name for the one corridor that runs the entire length of the ship. My guide demonstrated how various bits of equipment worked – including a hatch in the floor that said "do not open" on it, which is precisely what he did. It was the access hatch to one of the escape tunnels (for crew to get to other parts of the ship in case their station is on fire and Broadway may be blocked).
All the vintage technology exudes a mystical atmosphere almost, especially all the really heavy brass and copper elements, and solid mechanical levers and parts. Spot the type plates saying "1942" on them – they certainly knew how to build things properly back then!
Real techie buffs will have a field day here, examining various electronics and signals systems, navigation and radar equipment, and so on, so close up. I have to admit, though, that some of the finer details of all the technological workings went over my head a bit. But in terms of atmosphere it was fantastic.
A surprise find down in the very bowels of the ship, in the engine/boiler rooms, was a large mural painted onto the curved white surface of one of the turbines. It was from the Gulf War and said "Operation Desert Shield 90-91" (that was the preparatory forerunner to "Operation Desert Storm", which was the actual attack phase). This was accompanied by a painting that featured a camel with a headscarf standing in the desert, against a red sky, and palm trees and oil wells in the background on the one side. And on the other side there was lightning striking a building that to me looked much more like a Russian Orthodox church ... but was probably meant to represent a mosque. Great.
The guide also had a number of photos showing the ship in dry dock, so that the enormous propellers could be seen, as well as schematic representations of the gun turrets (these consist not only of what you see on deck, but reach four to five decks deep down into the ship's hull below – and they were manned by up to 100 crew each!)
At the end of the tour I wandered the publicly accessible parts for a bit longer and then made my way back to the shuttle bus.
All in all I'm glad I invested in the in-depth tour, also as it had been so intimate. That cannot be guaranteed, of course, and will much rather have been the exception than the rule. For many visitors it will be too much detail, too much technology and possibly also too much effort.
But even just the regular tour of the main deck, bridge second deck below, with its originally preserved parts and its museum-like exhibitions, is a worthwhile addition to the rest of the Pearl Harbor attractions. Highly recommended.
Location: moored alongside the eastern side of Ford Island, just south of the USS Arizona Memorial and "battleship row" in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
Google maps locators:
Bridge of the ship: [21.3623, -157.9532]
Shuttle bus departure point: [21.3682, -157.9381]
Access and costs: restricted, but easy to get to by shuttle bus; quite expensive.
Details: Since Ford Island is officially part of the active naval base of Pearl Harbor, access for civilians is restricted. Private vehicles are not allowed to use the bridge to the island (only active service personnel are), but there is a regular free shuttle bus service from the rear of the main Pearl Harbor Historic Sites complex.
Opening times: daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in June to August; only to 4 p.m. between September and May (closed Thanksgiving, as well as Christmas Day and New Year's Day).
General admission: 27 USD (child, 4-12 years old: 13 USD). Included in this are the general short (35-minute) tours, ranger talks on the surrender deck, and the optional audio guide (also available in Japanese and Korean).
The Heart of the Missouri guided tour into the depths of the ship costs an additional 25 USD – you have to purchase this together with the general admission ticket, so that the total price comes to 52 USD (child 10-12 years: 25 USD).
This tour is restricted to a maximum of 10 participants, who have to be at least 10 years old. You have to be fit enough to be on your legs for 75 minutes and negotiate various steep stairs/ladders and narrow and low passageways, so wearing good shoes and preferably a hat (esp. if you're tall) is advised. People with mobility problems cannot go on this tour.
You can also obtain a Passport to Pearl Harbor ticket from the main memorial site's ticket office for 65 USD (child 35 USD), which includes the main site & USS Arizona (with audio guide), USS Bowfin submarine and museum, Pacific Aviation Museum as well as general admission to the USS Missouri, but it does NOT include the Heart of the Missouri Tour.
This combination ticket is also only worth it if you need the audio guide at the main historic sites complex AND want to see the inside of the submarine – otherwise you do not make a saving with this ticket. On the other hand, the Passport to Pearl Harbor is valid for two days within a period of seven consecutive days, which might be an advantage.
You can get any of these types of tickets either on site at the visitor centre or pre-purchase them online from either the Pearl Harbor ticket website (via recreation.gov) or the USS Missouri's own website. The Heart of the Missouri Tour can only be pre-purchased online via the ship's own website's ticket sales.
Time required: between one and ca. five hours. The shuttle ride to the ship takes ca. 10 minutes, the shortest tour available lasts ca. 35 minutes, the self-guided tour of all publicly available parts is said to take between 45 and 120 minutes, while the in-depth Heart of the Missouri Tour lasts ca. 75 minutes on top of that. Add to that extra time for temporary extra exhibitions as well as the associated sights on land.
Combinations with other dark destinations: Right by the approach road to the mooring site of the USS Missouri you pass the USS Oklahoma memorial. This commemorates the lives lost aboard the battleship of the same name that was also sunk in the Pearl Harbor attacks in December 1941 and constituted the second-heaviest loss of the day after the USS Arizona. 429 crew died when the USS Oklahoma capsized after being hit by several Japanese torpedoes. However, 32 sailors who were trapped in an air-bubble filled compartment in the bottom of the ship could be rescued through a hole cut into the hull.
Further down the road on Ford Island is the Pacific Aviation Museum, reached by the same shuttle bus that takes visitors from the Pearl Harbor Historic Sites complex to the USS Missouri. Part of the museum is housed in hangars that still bear bullet holes from the December 1941 air attacks.
From the bow and bridge of the USS Missouri you can see the USS Arizona Memorial clearly – but you can't get there from here. Instead you have to take the mandatory boat tour from back at the main Pearl Harbor memorial site.
Combinations with non-dark destinations: see under Hawaii.

We've all seen the television advertisements how you can join the Army and be an Army of one. And that's fine, until you are trapped in the middle of enemy fire out in a deserted place all alone, about to run out of ammo. Then what are you going to do?
How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up? For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
You see, being a child of God exceeding multiplies your realm of influence. You are no longer fighting your enemy on your own strength. When you are fighting your battles on your own strength, although you may be pretty strong, you're only one person, and sooner or later your enemy will outnumber you and wear you out and defeat you. Not so as a child of God, that is, if you are putting the advantage you possess to use. You can be the strongest, best armed soldier in God's Army and still be easily defeated if you don't use your weapons of warfare.
Every soldier in an army is equipped for battle, they are trained for battle, given uniforms, guns, ammo, and things necessary for their survival, but whether they use it or not will help determine if they will survive the battle. If they don't put to use what is issued to them, their chances are not real good. And even the use of every skill and supply does not eliminate the possibility of a stray bullet ending their life. But there is a better way for the child of God.
The Bible does not promise we will never see battle. Indeed, it says we WILL face tribulation. But the Lord Jesus said, These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. Now, consider this: as a child of God, the Spirit of God dwells in you. And where the Spirit of God is, there is no devil that can defeat you, for GOD is Almighty, and the devil is just a created spirit being. The devil is NOT on equal footing with God, as some believe, and equal and opposite force. Yes, the devil is an opposite force to God, but he certainly is subject to God in every arena. The devil is not a threat to God. Nor is he a threat to any of God's children who know who they are in Christ Jesus, their authority, and are willing to stay in submission to God so as to be able to wield that authority. As a child of God, you are indeed an Army of ONE, namely of the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY.
As a child of God, submitted to His authority, you may be surrounded by the enemy at any given moment, but you are not alone, nor will your "ammo supply" ever run short. You are not in danger of defeat, for the Lord cannot be defeated, and He is in you. The devil can roar and rage and threaten you, but you can let the air out of his balloon with a single word and bring him down to size.
It is written in 1 John 4:4, Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. Look at that verse again. It says GREATER is he that is in you, that is the Holy Spirit, and he that is in the world is the lessor, that's the devil. You have nothing to fear from the devil as a child of God. Though the devil will try to stir up fear inside of you, the fact is, he is already defeated by Christ Jesus. And no matter how much the devil would like you to believe that he is the greater one, the truth remains that God is the Greater One, and the devil is just a liar.
You and God make an undefeatable team. Actually, God is already undefeatable, you're just along for the ride, but if you're riding in God Almighty's chariot, that makes you untouchable too. Remember that the next time you're in battle. You have the Almighty inside, and you have all of heaven backing you. But, the fact still remains, you can't sit there and expect God to do everything for you. A soldier with a loaded gun is only a threat to the enemy if he uses it. If you're not staying in fellowship with God and using what He gives you, then how can you expect to live in victory? Draw close to God today, be strong in His might, and be an Army of One! As His child, you are more than God needs to send to defeat anything the devil comes up with, you're overkill, but remember, God always overdoes everything. He isn't the God of just enough, He's the God of WAY MORE THAN ENOUGH. With the Holy Spirit inside of you, you're MORE THAN EQUAL to any threat from Satan. You are an Army of ONE!
Great message! I read this before my devotions this morning; I have a battle to face and there seems to be no one who will or can help me. Now I can think on your words. God is more than enough and I have already won.
I am complete in Him wanting nothing! Your words stirred my faith and I know I have the victory.
Well you are a mighty Messanger. I had the thought to google healing ministries and your site came up. I loved ready your testimony on your cover page. And truly this message could not be more fitting for us. My husband's sister has been diagnosed with two brain aneurysm's. They have operated on one and it is not 60 hours later. She is stable however we are told the next 2 weeks are a crisis time and there is much to overcome. My husband and I really are the only one's here present praying for her and by her side praying. It is truly as if we are an Army of One. But I do sense God's victory and I claim it! Isn't our Lord truly amazing. All powerful and mighty. So we are praying for a mircle restoration of her arteries with strong walls and normal blood flow. We are told vasospasms are expected in cases like this however the doctor's do not know about the miracle we are praying for. All Glory be to God!
Thank you for your ministry and all that you do in God's Name! Praise and glory be to our Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God most high!
