Abortion is condemnable for the same reasons as slavery and the Holocaust.
Around the globe, a network of killing centers is eliminating "unwanted" human beings at a staggering rate—relying on the same basic arguments that were once used to justify slavery and the Holocaust.
One of history's most tragic lessons is that human beings have a remarkable capacity for abusing each other. When this abuse is severe enough, and moves beyond the mistreatment of a few individuals, we call it a crime against humanity. These are not crimes of passion; these are crimes of precision. They are not the result of accidental, momentary impulses; they are thought-out and rationalized. The scale of such crimes cannot be carried out by individuals. They require systematic cooperation and consent. Crimes against humanity are almost always built on the assertion that certain human beings do not deserve protection under the law. The most notorious example is the Jewish Holocaust, in which six million European Jews were executed for their alleged racial inferiority.
The word "genocide" combines the Greek word for race (geno) with the Latin word for killing (cide). The Nuremberg trials, which concluded in 1946, used Lemkin's term "genocide" in their indictment against top Nazi officials who were convicted for their collective "crimes against humanity."3 In 1948, the United Nations officially made genocide an international crime at the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. The Convention defined genocide as any of a series of acts designed to "destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group."4 The acts listed include: causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group, imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group, or forcibly transferring children out of the group.
This definition of genocide is broad enough to include abortion, and some organizations have made a compelling case that abortion is genocide. Abortion is certainly deliberate and systematic. By the latest count, close to 20% of American unborn children are aborted.6 In New York City, there is one abortion for every 1.7 births.7 Each day, roughly 2,500 abortions are performed in the United States,8 and close to 60 million American unborn children have lost their lives to abortion since the Supreme Court struck down all state prohibitions in 1973.9 Approximately 93% of abortions occur in free-standing abortion clinics.10 The largest network of abortion clinics belongs to Planned Parenthood, which accounts for a third of all U.S. abortions.11 The specific group of human beings that abortion targets is unwanted, unborn children—a victim class defined by the pro-abortion mantra, "Every Child a Wanted Child." Planned Parenthood's Final Solution for unwanted, unborn children is extermination.
If you've ever listened to someone try to explain why it is morally acceptable to kill a living human being before it is born, you've probably already heard unborn children described in the terms above. If not, public examples are not hard to come by. Warren Hern is one of the most prominent abortionists in the world. He wrote the textbook, Abortion Practice. His central premise is this: unborn children should be viewed not as people, but as a disease. He writes that "the relationship between the [mother] and the [baby] can be understood best as one of host and parasite."13 Famed astrophysicist Carl Sagan joined this chorus by comparing unborn children to segmented worms, fish, tadpoles, reptiles, and pigs."14 That is the language of dehumanization. Even the word "fetus" has become a term of derision used by those who want to deemphasize the humanity of unborn children.
Though there are differences between abortion and historic forms of genocide, there are also huge similarities. If we can't compare atrocities past to atrocities present, then the term "never again" loses all meaning—and we will continue our sad legacy of dehumanizing and abusing those who get in our way or have something we want.

This percentage was arrived at by dividing the total number of abortions performed at Planned Parenthood (323,999 according to their 2014 - 2015 Annual Report) by the total number of abortions performed in the United States (approximately 983,000 in 2014).

The Three-Fifths compromise of 1787 was reached after those in the North demanded that slaves not be counted for enumeration purposes while those in the South wanted slaves counted as full-persons. Since slaves were not allowed to vote, counting them as only 3/5 of a person gave Southern states less voting power than if slaves had been counted as full persons, but far more than if slaves hadn't been counted at all.
Even if abortion is a systematic injustice, you can't compare it to slavery or the Holocaust. Abortion kills babies before they're self-aware or have had any life experiences. Those killed in the Holocaust were deprived of the lives they were already living, and that is much worse.

Q: UIViewController Animation memory release Look at my code below, I get memory error after I click "back" button, the problem will be fixed if I deleted [aboutView release]
Why is that? and how I should release aboutView?
-(IBAction)swichView {
    AboutView *aboutView = [[AboutView alloc] init];
    [aboutView.view setAlpha:0];
    [self.view addSubview:aboutView.view];
    [UIView beginAnimations:@"" context:nil];
    [UIView setAnimationDuration:1.0];
    [aboutView.view setAlpha:1];
    [UIView commitAnimations];
    [aboutView release];
}

Second View Contorller:
-(IBAction)back {
    [UIView beginAnimations:@"" context:nil];
    [UIView setAnimationDuration:1.0];
    [self.view setAlpha:0];
    [UIView commitAnimations];
    [self.view removeFromSuperview];
}

A: In your switchView, you should not be creating an instance of AboutView. AboutView *aboutView should be created as an instance variable, not a function local variable.
Due to the design of view controller animation, the animation itself does NOT retain your controller and automatic release it when animation ends. Your code deallocates the view controller during the animation, that's why it'll crash.
To proper release a view after an animation, try:
-(IBAction)switchView {
    // given that aboutView is an instance variable
    aboutView = [[AboutView alloc] init];
    [aboutView.view setAlpha:0];
    [self.view addSubview:aboutView.view];
    [UIView animationWithDuration:1.0 animations:^{
        [aboutView.view setAlpha:1];
    } completion:^(BOOL fin) {
        // don't release it
    }];
}

-(IBAction)back {
    [UIView animationWithDuration:1.0 animations:^{
        [aboutView.view setAlpha:0];
    } completion:^(BOOL fin) {
        [aboutView.view removeFromSuperview];
        [aboutView release];
    }];
}

A: The problem is probably [self.view removeFromSuperview]; in -(IBAction)back;
You don't need that. In a UIViewController, its view will be handled for you as long as you release it in dealloc.
AboutView will be retained by the controller's view when you addSubview:

This method retains view and sets its next responder to the receiver, which is its new superview.
  -- Docs for addSubview:

So when the view gets released, so will aboutView.

A: Nothing seems to be retaining aboutView object after the method '-(IBAction)swichView'
The line '[self.view addSubview:aboutView.view];'
Will give an extra ref count to aboutView.view, but not aboutView itself.
I'd probably use the delegate model similar to how UIPopoverViewController works.
Define a protocal with method along the lines of
-(void) subViewClosed:(AboutView*)aboutView;

Make the Parent implement it, then go:
Parent
-(IBAction)swichView {
    .. existing stuff ..

    (dont release)

    aboutView.delegate = self;
}

AboutView class
-(IBAction)back {
    ... existing stuff ...

    [self.delegate subViewClosed:self];
}

Parent
-(void) subViewClosed:(AboutView*)aboutView{
    [aboutView release];
}

Length 141.0m
The 141m superyacht Swift141, christened 'Yas', was successfully launched by ADMShipyards in November 2011; entering the record books as both the largest launch of 2011 and most significant superyacht in recent history.
Yas's distinctive narrow profile was built on the steel hull of a former Royal Dutch Navy Frigate built in 1978. Her frigate hull and lightweight composite superstructure help to enable the enormous vessel to reach impressive speeds of up to 26 knots.
Yas was styled inside and out by Pierrejean Design in Paris, with a strikingly graceful exterior of fluid curves and volumes, and a spectacular structural covering of glass.
Streamlined elegance is what characterises her overarching design. Ever inspired by the fluidity of water mixed with the natural inhabitants of the sea, every individual PierreJean yacht project indicates a unique and aesthetic reference.
She can comfortably accommodate up to 60 guests while modern diesel power and variable-pitch propellers assure a top speed of 26 knots, cruising speed of 20 knots, transoceanic range, and "green" fuel economy. In anticipation of her unusual speed for a yacht of this size, the project was first appropriately named "Swift141."

If you're working a side hustle, whether to explore new career avenues or bring home extra income, you're in good company. TaxSlayer estimates that 28% of Americans have two or more income sources to report to the IRS. The bad news? Roughly 40% of gig workers say they don't take deductions related to that independent work -- that's a problem because they're missing out on a huge opportunity to lower their taxes.
Sometimes you have to spend money to make money. If you purchased equipment or other items in order to do freelance work, you're entitled to write off those costs on your taxes. For example, if you did work as an independent IT consultant and bought cables and a laptop to do your job, those items can all be deducted. The same holds true if you purchased office supplies, like envelopes and paper, to invoice clients.
If you used your personal vehicle to perform your side gig, you're allowed to claim a deduction for mileage when you file your return. For 2017, the IRS rate is 53.5 cents per mile, which means that if you drove 300 miles for business purposes (say, to get to and from clients), that's $160.50 that you get to write off. The only catch, however, is that you're supposed to maintain a detailed log showing what your various mileage was for. If you didn't create one last year, and therefore can only guess at your mileage, you open yourself up to problems. But if you use your vehicle regularly for independent work, be sure to track your mileage going forward to capitalize on this deduction.
If you did freelance work out of your home, you may be eligible for the home office deduction. To qualify, you'll need to meet two criteria. First, you must have a dedicated space in your home that you used solely for business purposes (setting up shop at your kitchen table doesn't count). Secondly, your home office must constitute your primary place of business. If you rented an office for your side gig and mostly worked out of it, you won't be eligible.
Using the standard method, you'll need to tally your home expenses that enabled you to do your work and claim a portion of them based on the size of your office relative to the rest of your living space. For example, if you spent a total of $20,000 on electricity, heat, water, and other such things that were necessary to work from home, and your home office takes up 100 square feet of a 2,000-square-foot living space, you get a $1,000 deduction. You have the option to choose between the simplified and standard method when claiming a home office, so it makes sense to run both calculations to see which gives you the greatest deduction.
If you earned freelance income last year, don't miss out on these money-saving deductions. If you need more time to dig through your receipts and calculate your expenses, you can always request a tax extension and buy yourself extra time to file your 2017 return. Keep in mind, however, that if you wind up owing the IRS money, you're still required to pay your tax bill by the April 17 deadline -- though if that's the case, claiming the aforementioned deductions might make that total much less painful.

One might suspect from the unusual title that this is not your usual fare. Indeed, Albert Marcœur is not your run-of-the-mill progressive rock musician, and while this writer can't claim to have heard either of his two most recent releases (1990's Ma Vie avec Elles and the more recent Sports et Percussions from '94), his first four albums dating from the mid 70s through the early 80s (all four were once available in one 2CD package, but are now out of print) are absolutely essential monuments of originality and pure genius, full of brilliant and eccentric arrangements, using taped sounds as part of the percussive vocabulary, along with drums, sax, flute, guitars, bass, piano etc. and plenty of very bizarre, almost spoken French vocals — many have called him France's answer to Frank Zappa, and at times this writer would have to agree; Marcœur has much of the same collected compositional focus, a master of many instruments, though unlike Zappa's jazzier preferences, Marcœur seems to have more elements of Euro-traditional musics woven into his vision, as well as some genuine 60s pop eccentricities a la Sgt Pepper / Magical Mystery Tour era Beatles. Fast forward to the late 90s, and Marcœur's eclectic vision is still intact and as unpredictable as ever, though one will immediately notice that the twelve songs herein were written and recorded over a period of 14 years. Leftovers from the 80s and early 90s? Given the exceptional quality of this material one certainly wouldn't think so. At any rate, this should offer the longtime listener and newcomer alike an excellent cross-section of Marcœur's highly original work: as good a place to start as any, or a fine point to get reacquainted. Along with a booklet full of French lyrics to follow along with, it comes with a CD ROM track that has yet to function in this writer's NT4.0 based computer, although Macintosh users have reported better results. Highly Recommended.

International Competition Set For One-Armed Golfers
The Ryder Cup won't be the only international golf competition played in the Louisville area this September.The first-ever Humana Fightmaster Cup, featuring the best one-armed golfers from North America and Europe, will be played in Shelby County. It's named for Louisvillian Don Fightmaster, who taught himself to play golf after losing an arm in 1954 automobile accident.
Fightmaster, who will captain the North America n team, says the competition will follow the Ryder Cup format.
"We're going to have the same amount of members, we'll have twelve from the North American team and the European team, and we'll have the same matches as the Ryder Cup," he said.
The Humana Fightmaster Cup matches will be played September 12-14 at the Cardinal Club in Simpsonville.
The Ryder Cup begins September 16 at Valhalla Golf Club in Eastern Jefferson County.

1: How does it play TT? Does it play well? Do characters scale nicely as they advance in levels?
2: Thoughts on how it would play on a MU? It seems simple and streamlined enough. And, again, all the rules are on the website.
The endless exploding dice of different numbers and sizes seems odd. Any thoughts on it?
We didn't really notice an issue with the exploding dice. It led to some interesting situations. In the end, however, we just felt the game didn't bring anything new to the table and there were other games that did the same or similar things and maybe did them a bit better(Savage Worlds, FATE, Gurps, Hero, etc).
There are definitely more mature frameworks but most of the value-add of these Open ___ rulebooks is the ability to create derivative commercial works without having to license anything.


From May until the beginning of October regional innovative business ideas contest "Business Express" took place across the whole Latvia. The aim of this contest was to provide the authors of innovative business ideas with knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to develop their business ideas. "Business Express" stopped in five regions in Latvia – Vidzeme, Latgale, Zemgale, Kurzeme and Riga.
VALPRO was one of two strategic partners to the contest. VALPRO representatives participated in the process of evaluating submitted ideas, as well as company's representative participated in each of the five final events as a member of the jury. In each of the regions, VALPRO chose one of the finalists to give them sympathy award in category "industrial manufacturing product".

Jordyn Woods Broke Her Silence About The Upcoming 'KUWTK' Cheating Episode
Elizabeth Spina
Are you guys ready for the upcoming and quite possibly most dramatic episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians of all time?
Because I sure as hell am not.
Finally, the time has come for the official Tristan Thompson and Jordyn Woods cheating episode of "KUWTK" to bless us with its presence.
We've only been waiting since February for this.
The anticipation is real.
As you may have already heard, there was a very messy breakup that went down between Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson earlier this year.
Instagram | @khloekardashian
And if you haven't heard, don't worry, because I'm gonna explain the whole thing to you — get comfortable.
Here's a comprehensive timeline of Khloe and Tristan's cheating scandal, as we know it.
Khloe started dating NBA player, Tristan Thompson, in September of 2016.
At the time, Tristan was (allegedly) recently separated from his very pregnant ex-girlfriend, Jordan Craig.
Although, there was some speculation that Tristan cheated on his ex-girlfriend with Khloé. But that's a whole other can of worms.
Anyways, Tristan and Khloé seemed to be going strong for the first year of their relationship.
By December of 2017, Khloe announced that she and Tristan were having a baby together.
So, yeah, things were pretty serious.
Khloé was nine months into her pregnancy — with the possibility of giving birth at basically any moment, and news broke that Tristan was seen getting awfully cozy with a woman at a nightclub.
Footage surfaced of Tristan making out with the mystery woman in a booth.
To make matters even worse, he was seen bringing the woman back to his hotel at 5 am.
The woman was later seen leaving the hotel with a Louis Vuitton overnight bag — indicating she may have spent quite some time there.
It was all very scandalous.
The mystery woman was later found out to be Instagram model, Lani Blair.
Instagram | @laniblair
She had around 400,000 followers on Instagram at the time of the scandal — but was forced to make her account private to avoid the inevitable harassment that was to come.
Against Khloé's and her fan's better judgement, she chose to forgive Tristan for cheating and focus on their newborn baby daughter, True Thompson.
"Khloé has completely forgiven Tristan for cheating on her, and it really wasn't hard for her to do because he literally broke down crying in her hospital room after she had given birth to True," a source explained.
Just as we thought all was forgiven, and Tristan was being welcomed back into the Kardashian's good graces, he did something even worse in February, 2019.
Fans were a bit unclear on what exactly Tristan and Khloe's relationship status was. But had it just been days after Valentine's Day, when Khloé posted this photo on Instagram — we assumed the pair were still together.
But days later, on February 20th, Tristan was seen partying in LA — without Khloé.
Instagram | @jordynwoods
Suddenly, the world was taken by storm when rumors began to circulate that Tristan had cheated on Khloé that night with Khloé's sister, Kylie Jenner's BFF, Jordyn Woods, at a house party.
Kylie and Jordyn had been BFFs for as long as we could remember, so this came as a major shock.
Instagram | @kyliejenner
Tristan and Jordyn very quickly admitted to kissing — not nothing more.
The allegations, however, were that Jordyn had been sitting on Tristan's lap, dancing on him, and just being generally flirtacious.
There were also rumors that Jordyn and Tristan had been having an affair for months.
Being completely shut out from the family, and being harassed with hateful messages from fans, Jordyn partook in a tearful interview with Jada Pinkett Smith, to tell her side of it all.
YouTube | Red Table Talk
She explained that the cheating rumors were exaggerated, but not entirely fabricated.
"Never once was I giving him a lap dance, making out with him, sitting all over him," she said.
She defended herself.
Instagram | jordynwoods
"We're all together, we're in a group, never once did we leave the public area—go to a bedroom, go to a bathroom—we're all in plain sight."
She did, however, admit that the pair shared a kiss around 7 am — as she was leaving the party.
"I'm no homewrecker," she said. "I would never try to hurt somebody's home, especially someone that I love and someone who has a beautiful daughter."
Unfortunately, the interview only aggravated Khloé more.
"Why are you lying @jordynwoods ??" Khloé tweeted in response to watching the interview.
"If you're going to try and save yourself by going public, INSTEAD OF CALLING ME PRIVATELY TO APOLOGIZE FIRST, at least be HONEST about your story. BTW, You ARE the reason my family broke up!"
But fans were quick to point out that Khloé and Tristan's relationship had been messy since day one and that their breakup shouldn't be on Jordyn.
Khloé had a response to that as well:
"Tristan is equally to blame but Tristan is the father of my child," she said.
"Regardless of what he does to me I won't do that to my daughter. He has been addressing this situation PRIVATELY. If Tristan were to lie publicly about what conspired, then yes I would address him publicly as well," she continued.
Thankfully, Khloé was done giving Tristan second chances. She confirmed that their relationship was over — effective immediately.
Since then, everything has cooled down.
Khloé and Tristan are co-parenting their daughter, True.
Jordyn is still exiled from the Kardashian-Jenner family, but she seems to be doing better than ever on her own.
But of course, just as the dust has settled for all of the parties involved, "KUWTK" is about to air the episode that will send us all back down that rabbit hole: The season finale.
E! just released the trailer for the episode, along with a quote made by Khloe in the episode.
"I knew who he was. I never in a million years thought that's who she was," the tweet reads.
That. Is. Chilling. AF.
Obviously, Jordyn knew this day would eventually come — and she's ready for it.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Jordyn braces her fans for how the episode is most likely going to portray her.
YouTube | Entertainment Tonight
"Everyone has their truth and their story and so you just go with it," she said. "Everyone has the right to speak their truth."
She explained that she just wanted everyone to better understand the "real" her before the episode aired.
She added that she just hopes everyone involved "finds peace and their truth".
"Life moves on," Jordyn went on.
"Money doesn't stop, [the] world doesn't stop, and hopefully everyone is just going forward."
It looks like Kylie's commented in her own way.
Kylie shared this photo of her looking supremely unbothered lounging with some wine and strawberries, but it was her sassy caption that really captured fans' attention.
Kylie doesn't usually comment on drama on her IG, so this was big news.
Kylie kind of pointedly used the word "episode" when she detailed how she was minding her own business. It looks like Kylie might just be over this whole drama — and tbh, I don't blame her. It must be exhausting.
Especially with the rumors swirling that Kylie and Jordyn might be on the mend.
There's been a lot of speculation about the state of Kylie and Jordyn's friendship lately, and it looks like they just might be figuring it out.
In the new trailer, Kylie looks totally heartbroken over the situation.
YouTube | Keeping Up With The Kardashians
In the trailer, Kylie says she was talking to Jordyn about what happened, saying, "I pretty much told her exactly what we've been talking about, like, 'You weren't thinking about True, not Khloé, not me, but you weren't even thinking about yourself."
All I know is Sunday cannot come fast enough.
Here's the full trailer. It's intense.
Are you excited or are you excited?!
What do you think of the whole cheating scandal? Let us know in the comments!

Green Eggs Solubility Activity
Deanna Cullen | Thu, 06/21/2012 - 16:11
This activity relates the solubility of gas to the boiling of eggs.
Students observe the color of the yolk of two boiled eggs. One of the eggs is left in hot water after it is boiled and the other is placed in cold water immediately after boiling it. The first of these yolks appears to have a grayish green coating because hydrogen sulfide gas is present and reacts with the iron in the yolk to produce iron II sulfide (which is the gray-green color). The second yolk appears yellow because no iron II sulfide is formed. Instead, the hydrogen sulfide gas moves out of the egg into the cool water surrounding it. This is because the gas is more soluble in cold solution than in hot.
Solubility of gas
Procedure time:
Time required:
30 minutes of class time.
2 eggs per group
2 beakers (or a small pot and a bowl)
hotplate (or stove top burner)
The yolk of an egg contains iron. The white of an egg contains sulfur in the bonds of the protein. When you cook an egg the sulfur is released from the protein in the form of hydrogen sulfide gas. The smell of cooking egg is due to the hydrogen sulfide gas. Gas is less soluble in hot solutions and is more soluble in colder solutions. As you boil an egg, the egg begins to heat up faster on the outside causing the hydrogen sulfide gas to move toward the center of the egg where it is cooler and more soluble. When the hydrogen sulfide gas reaches the yolk it immediately begins to react with the iron in the yolk to form the iron (II) sulfide, which is a green color. To prevent the yolk from turning green you need to get the hydrogen sulfide gas to move away from the center so it can't react with the iron in the yolk. To do this you need to make the outside of an egg cooler than the inside so that the hydrogen sulfide gas will migrate outwards.
The green compound is not harmful in anyway but most people would prefer a bright yellow yolk to a green one.
Put two eggs in a beaker or pot of water and boil for 15 minutes. (Start timing after the water begins to boil.)
At the end of the 15 minutes, remove the container from the heat source. Remove one egg and place it in a container of cold water. Leave the other egg in the hot water that it was boiled in.
Let the eggs sit in the water for about 30 minutes. Add ice to the cold water container if necessary to maintain a cool temperature.
Peel both eggs and remove the yolks. Try to remove the yolks whole. Observe the results.
What is the formula for the gas that reacts with the iron in the yolk to produce the green color?
What is the formula for the green compound that is formed on the yolk?
Write the balanced chemical equation for the formation of green compound on the surface of an egg yolk.
Why does putting the egg in cold water prevent the formation of the green color around the yolk? (Explain in terms of solubility.)
If you need to boil eggs for an event at your home, will you place the eggs in cold water after boiling them? Why or why not?
This activity can be done in the lab in groups or as a class activity/demonstration where only a few eggs are boiled. I have also used this as a take home activity that requires students to do this with a parent/guardian at home and get a parent signature at the bottom of the page that states that the student completed the activity and explained the answers to all of the questions to the parent/guardian. I have enjoyed a good parent response to this assignment.
I have modified this activity from one that was presented many years ago at a Michigan Science Teacher Association Conference. I wish that I had the name of the woman that presented it.

I have been looking for more waybrings how the students how Chemistry is in their everyday lives.
This is terrific!
a couple of thoughts
GREGORY RUSHTON | Tue, 08/14/2012 - 20:23
I love it! My thinking is that the students could get presented with the two eggs, tell them to peel them, observe the differences, and come up with a procedure for replicating the outcome...so they'd research how the yolk turned green, then think about how that could have happened...test at home, bring back results! very cool, I'm thinking a kitchen chemistry experiment!

THIS COMPETITION IS CLOSED. The winners were selected at random. They are 'Pete', who nominated Stony Point, and 'David Walker', who nominated Fairfield.
Thanks to NewSouth Books for making two copies of Jarrett Walker's new book, Human Transit: How clearer thinking about public transit can enrich our communities and our lives, available for readers of The Melbourne Urbanist.
Here's the gist of it:
Public transit is a powerful tool for addressing a huge range of urban problems, including traffic congestion and economic development as well as climate change. But while many people support transit in the abstract, it's often hard to channel that support into good transit investments.
Part of the problem is that transit debates attract many kinds of experts, who often talk past each other.
Ordinary people listen to a little of this and decide that transit is impossible to figure out.
Jarrett Walker believes that transit can be simple, if we focus first on the underlying geometry that all transit technologies share. In Human Transit, Walker supplies the basic tools, the critical questions, and the means to make smarter decisions about designing and implementing transit services.
Human Transit explains the fundamental geometry of transit that shapes successful systems; the process for fitting technology to a particular community; and the local choices that lead to transit-friendly development. Whether you are in the field or simply a concerned citizen, here is an accessible guide to achieving successful public transit that will enrich any community.
This is a major event for anyone with an interest in transport. Jarrett is known to many of us through his international consulting practice and through his famous transit blog, Human Transit (I think the word eponymous would fit in here nicely in relation to his book).
To be in the running to win, all you have to do is nominate your favourite rail station, tram stop or bus stop in Melbourne. Submit your entry below, using the Comment box at the bottom of this page. Entries close in two weeks at midday Saturday, 17 December 2011. One entry per person and I'll only post within Australia. And the odds are much better than Crown!
As always, the quality of your nomination has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on whether or not you'll win. The winner will be determined at random. However, explanation is encouraged and, while they're not mandatory, so are wit and flair. If you're really at a loss and don't care what the world thinks of you, it's acceptable to nominate "Darebin station, Hurstbridge line".
You can order an advance copy of the book direct from NewSouth Books and get a 20% discount ($31.97 – that's cheaper than Amazon even before taking postage into account!).
I'll review the book when I can get a copy. In the meantime, here's the full Introduction and here's the Table of Contents:
1. What Transit is, and Does
This chapter defines transit and its role in the city compared to other transport modes, and proposes the concept of personal mobility, a measurable freedom, as transit's most fundamental product.
2. What Makes Transit Useful? Seven Demands and How Transit Serves Them
A customer's expectations of transit can be boiled down to seven demands:
It takes me where I want to go.
It takes me when I want to go.
It's a good use of my time.
It's a good use of my money.
It respects me.
I can trust it.
It gives me freedom to change my plans.
This chapter defines the main elements of the transit product (speed, frequency, span, reliability, etc.) and explains how each serves those various demands.
3. Five Paths to Confusion
An introduction to five of the most common conceptual mistakes in transit planning: map-reading errors, motorist's errors, box errors, polarization errors, and choosing words with unfortunate connotations.
4. Lines, Loops, and Longing
The most basic geometric concepts in transit. Should transit lines be I-shaped or U-shaped? And why do people get so excited about loops?
5. Touching the City: Stops and Stations
How far apart should transit stops be? This chapter explores why this technical-sounding question is fundamental to almost everything you care about.
6. Peak or All Day?
Does your transit agency's thinking begin with the peak commute, or with an all-day pattern of service? Why this matters.
7. Frequency is Freedom
Frequency is oddly invisible to the non-rider, yet it's sits at the core of almost all transit outcomes. This chapter explores the urgent challenge of making frequency visible, in marketing, planning, and policy making.
8. The Obstacle Course: Speed, Delay, and Reliability
Transit speed is mostly the absence of delay. This chapter surveys the delay types, explains how planners address them, and how we might think more clearly about them in making policy.
9. Density Distractions
This chapter confonts recent claims that development density is not as important to transit as we thought, and sorts through some of the confusing ways density can be measured. Transit can do good work at many density levels, but density — properly measured — is still fundamental to transit outcomes.
10. Ridership or Coverage: The Challenge of Service Allocation
Every city or region has some areas where transit demand is high and others where it's lower. How can transit agencies reach consensus on how to apportion service among these areas?
11. Can Fares be Fair?
An exploration of the hard choices around fares, and how smartcards are resolving some but heightening others. Can fares be "fair"? Are you sure you want them to be?
12. Connections or Complexity?
Nobody likes to get off one transit vehicle and get on another — an act known as transferring, changing, or connecting. This chapter explains why connections are inseparable from many other things we value, including frequency and simplicity.
13. From Connections to Networks, to Places
If we accept the need for connections (also called transfers), what does this mean for design? This chapter explores the common types of network structure that arise from this problem, and then considers how connection points can galvanize great urban places.
14. Be on the Way! Transit Implications of Location Choice
Whenever you choose a location, such as for your home or business, you largely determine what transit can do for you. When cities and developers decide where to build things, they profoundly impact the potential for transit in the city as a whole. This chapter explores how to make these decisions more consciously, as individuals, organizations, governments, and developers. The physical layout of a community or region is an overwhelming factor in determining how relevant transit can be, so in that sense, this is the most important chapter in the book.
15. On the Boulevard
The car-oriented suburban boulevard has much more transit potential than it seems. This chapter explores the special role transit can play in healing the most troublesome features of fast boulevards, and re-creating them as humane and functional places. The chapter ends with a vision of North America's most boulevard-based city, Los Angeles, in a future when walking, cycling, and transit all have adequate space alongside the private car. It's a nice place, and one where you can be sure of getting to a meeting on time.
16. Take the Long View
Clearly, the total planning problem requires synthesizing land planning and transport planning, including transit. It's pointless to try to tear down the walls that separate these professions from each other, because each has unique expertise that must be valued. Instead, the key is to create clear conversations at the points where the professions intersect, and for each to provide just the right tools to support and inform the other's work.
Epilogue: Geometry, Choices, Freedom
A summation of the book's key themes.

mordiallic. not many train stations in the world are a 3minute walk to a beach.
Southern Cross Station, because that's my Welcome-To-Melbourne Station when I visit.
I've already ordered a copy of the book, so don't want to win but I'm going for Lilydale, as the start of the rail trail to Warburton and I walked that once and then got lost up in the Yarra State Forest for a few days more and it was bliss, except for the leeches.
Newmarket on the Craigieburn line. Nice buildings, shops nearby.

I helped illustrate the book by building up some maps of Sydney's tangled web of bus routes. I'm hoping Jarrett sends me a signed copy. 😉

Danny – I take it that you're therefore not an entrant (you didn't nominate a station or stop in Melbourne?) – Alan
Richmond station because you can see the mcg and nylex like Paul Kelly says!
Nathan Alexander says:
My immediate thought of a pleasurable public transport stop was Wahroonga Station on Sydney's North Shore – flower bedecked and clearly cared for. Much as I tried to conjure up a pleasurable memory of a stop in Melbourne, my memories are all of places to be endured because of traffic noise, fumes, weather, and the tedium of waiting. I can't claim to know all stops in Melbourne, but of those I do know, I rate Hawthorn Station most highly. It's tucked down from Burwood Road so traffic noise is minimal, it has an outlook to the street to the east, it is both spacious and snug, and the buildings are unusual, consistent in form, interesting and well cared for.
Brighton Beach railway station, especially the view from the pedestrian bridge, where the siding/stabling roads seemingly stop short just shy of the water…
I really liked North Melbourne station before they 'did it up'
I also like the tram stop at St Kilda junction for some reason!
Perhaps it's the amazing graffit murals.
Rob Rein says:
Flinders Street Station, it's the face of Melbourne to me.
Damio says:
Stop 129 right near a coffee roaster's, I can smell the delicious aroma whilst waiting for my tram – I hardly need to drink a coffee in the morning!
strategicrobyn says:
doncaster park and ride doncaster road. its the doncaster equivalent of a railway station
Flinders street station. I love the gritty old bits of the station. I hope they don't renovate it because it's guaranteed to be destroyed in the process. The art of beautiful building is long dead.
Syndal Station, on the Glen Waverley line but more so for the memories of going into the city as a little kid. It's the typical timber railway station, that's far more function over form, with it's surrounding carpark, and concrete ramps.
But my favorite station of all would have to be Maryborough in Central Victoria. It's an amazing example of what rail used to be in it's heyday. Regional Victoria has some amazing rail stations dotted all over the place, some where there isn't really a town anymore.
Colin Bostock says:
Flinders St for me as well. Pleased to see they are spending some serious money on getting a workable design for future redevelopment. Michael – fingers crossed it isn't destroyed and becomes a thriving space again. My daughter tells me she was very taken with Geelong station.
The Middle Park light rail stop, which incorporates the fabulous Mart130 cafe, or perhaps Windsor Station which – last time I was there – had a lovely cafe in the old station building. Hmmm … I'm detecting a theme here!

As in Werribee, Hoppers Crossing, Aircraft, Laverton. Surely there is no better or more ironic name for a railway station than….Aircraft.
Julian Wearne says:
My local, Fairfield. There's always friendly staff in the morning. Good coffee across the road for the mornings the train is delayed, shops are just nearby so getting some groceries before making the walk home is easy and of course FIDO always makes me smile, especially when he barks, meows or clucks like a chicken.
Oops, I forgot to mention that whilst I felt the need to mention Fairfield. I don't actually want to enter the competition. I've already won one book from this great blog, and I've already ordered a copy of the book so it'd be better off in anothers hands.
Melbourne has many beautiful stations and so it is pretty hard to choose. I have just moved to fairfield and its great. Nice old station, close to shops and cafes.
Chadstone Shopping Centre bus interchange – Nice transit lounge, plenty of Smartbuses and other bus routes in all directions, and plenty of shopping and activity, and gets very crowded on weekends. (It's going to be moved again, once the next Chadstone development is finished in 2015)
Toorak station, for the fact it's really in Armadale and the myriad ways in which it could connect well with the nearby bus and tram routes, but doesn't.
And that it looks great (along with all the other heritage stations on the network).
Oh Footscray should get points for the "could work really well, but doesn't with other modes" category as well. I always loved getting off the train there, checking at one stop when the bus to Highpoint was coming, then checking the other stop that also went to Highpoint to see the bus pulling away. That was always really helpful!
Allan Hong says:
Heidelberg train station – always bring back fond memories of seeing all these beautiful Heidelberg School paintings, my travel to the real Heidelberg in Germany years ago. Last but not least, always feel safe when I am standing on the platform waiting for an incoming train, thinking that if I suddenly feel sick or my wife is giving birth at any moment: the Austin Hospital and the co-located Mercy Hospital for Women are just opposite the station. Soon, there is the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Centre joining the health complex. See Heidelberg train station is both romantic and practical.
jamie truong says:
Box Hill 'multi-modal interchange'. One of the rare centres in the middle ring suburbs that is served by tram, train and bus.
My favourite train station would have to be Parliament! Despite the crowding in the morning peak, I love the blue colours and the excessively long escalators!
Catherine C says:
I wish I could say the Airport – but of course we don't have one there 'yet!' So I'll go with Camberwell (plenty of express trains, safe atmosphere, attractive, good restaurant/shopping strip on the doorstep, 3 lines, premium station)
Right at this moment, the tram stop on Swanston Street opposite the library. For the amusement value provided by the referees, the opportunity to see the "sinking library" sculpture again, and the curiosity of observing how the dynamics of the shared cycle-path/tram-loading-zone unfolds.
Krammer56 says:
Love the sinking library – it always reminds me of Planets of the Apes for some reason!
Yes! A few meters to the beach, fishing on the peir and catching the ferry to Cowes! Re-opened in the 80's after a local campaign! Fabulous 🙂
Adam Schembri says:
I'm a Sydneysider originally, but I just moved to Melbourne from London in January, so every tram stop is still a fascinating novelty for me. In fact, as I don't drive (age 46 and never had a licence), I value every single train, tram and bus stop in the city.
Alan Davies says:
Great entry Adam – if winners were determined on content, you'd be a leading contender! However, you'll have to settle for recognition because the winner is determined at random (still the odds are amazingly good so you could easily get up – about 13:1 at present).
Fairfield has a lot to recommend it, as described by Julian above.
Iain Lawrie says:
Seaholme. A single platform shaded by big date palms. The heady mix of sea air mixed with petrochemichals keeps you alert while waiting for the Werribee.
Any, all and every recently installed superstop. Think of it from the perspective of the disabled. A massive positive change.
URT says:
The second stop on the number 8 tram route Toorak to Moreland stands out. It's all of about 140 metres after the first stop, in one of the least densely populated parts of Melbourne.
It's a favourite – of a sort – it illustrates an important lesson about how PT should be designed.
Moonee Ponds Junction! So many buses, a couple of trams – SO MANY OPTIONS!
(the only downside is it could be a little safer =p)
Footscray Station – I love the fact that you are only a few footsteps away from a good bowl of pho when you arrive at this station
Don't forget the doughnuts! Best damn doughnuts in the city.
Paul in Sydney says:
Fairfield – Go Fido
I'm for the Doncaster Park & Ride
It shows what a combination of security (it's staffed), reasonable faclities (shelter, toilets) and an excellent, frequent, fast bus service could do to transform transport in Melbourne's suburbs.
And all for a tiny fraction of the cost of a rail line to Doncaster as well!
Andrew Herington says:
Malvern Station (my local) because like the other Edwardian brick stations on the Caulfield line it shows how you can have low cost and functional stations through good design – at grade access, easy ramps,passenger comfort and low construction costs. When you compare it to the monstrosity built at Westall with nearly 3 metres more clearance over the rails you realise how the Dept of Transport can waste over $100 million on a new platform and short section of triplified line
Stop 7 – Victoria Market.. it's my last chance tram stop to decide whether I take the 57 or 59 home!
Dennis. I love hearing the announcement for that one on the way home. I think there is some kind of pause at the end of the recording of the name that just makes it sound very awkward.
Also there is a cat that I have seen there that apparently boards the train – lovable little fare evading scamp.
Heidelberg Station – its where I get off to go to garden at my friends house in Bulleen.
mdonnellan63 says:
Williamstown Station: I got marooned there with a broken bicycle the day after the line was Kennetted. Very pleased that it's back in the system and I won't get stuck again (unless it gets Baillieu'd).
Mademoiselle Slimalicious says:
Flinders St Station is my favourite stop because it is "central"
I always like Essendon Station as a kid because as a hub it worked very well, it had trains, busses and a tram nearby, yet it looked like a stately old building after the morning and afternoon rushes, there is also something quite mysterious about the wide old underpass and winding up the ramp to the platform above, less risk averse in those days I guess.
Bus stop : crn Glenhuntly and Ormond Rd Elwood, the Elsterwick to La Trobe uni blue or yellow bus, Ill fated to run along Punt Rd and therefore destined to never run on time during peak hour…
Tram stop : Acland st, St Kilda – no 96 because of the bumble bee !
Train st : Mt Waverley St., Glen Waverley line, conveniently located opposite the library thus ensuring travellers a nice clean toilet is available at the end of the trip.
Chris G says:
Parliament, Great architecture, the underground foyers don't feel underground at all. Don't change it, but maybe extend the pedestrian subways to cross Lonsdale and Bourke St.
Designed by Peter McIntyre, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_McIntyre_(architect).
Just compare it to Flagstaff and you will know what I mean.
Glenferrie – and indeed several stations around this one on the Belgrave/Lilydale line. Just love the redbrick buildings of old. Timeless, functional and beautiful.
Dave Mack says:
Yarraville Train Station – because its perfectly integrated into the surrounding village and bus interchange. The space around it is used very effectively making it the active heart of Yarraville Village
virginia elena patrone says:
Victoria Park – because I love the name!
CaresAboutHealth says:
Albert Park stop – only a few minutes from the city, but less traffic and more trees.
What to read over the holiday season? « The Melbourne Urbanist says:
[…] key book I'll be reading over the holiday period is of course Jarrett Walker's Human Transit, the subject of the recent book giveaway. My copies arrived and I've already started – looks […]

All of us have several plans for our wedding and many people start planning about their wedding theme since childhood. Everything in a wedding expresses our personality and style, right from decorations to music and from food to attire. So, the theme of the wedding becomes a very important aspect. Here are some wedding themes and ways in which you can use make your wedding dream come true.
Beach Wedding : This is one of the most popular themes, where the ceremony is conducted on a lovely sandy beach. According to this theme, the wedding dress should be lighter and casual than the usual dress. The decorations done in this wedding consist of seashells and fishing nets. At night, floating candles can be lit in glass bowls or torches can be kept in long bamboo shafts.
Fairy Tale Wedding : This is another most liked theme by couples. The easiest way to incorporate this theme is by dressing the couple in age-old fairy tale styles. A fitted bodice with a tulle skirt is very fitting for fairy tale weddings. This style is easily available in different bridal shops. It can be also referred to as Cinderella gown. The perfect attire for the groom would be a white tuxedo with tails. The couple can arrive in a horse-drawn carriage. The best part of this theme is the ballroom reception.
Medieval Wedding : The third popular theme gives takes the couple on a ride through medieval times while the medieval music with romantic sonnets of Shakespeare can be played. Costumes for the Bride and groom, and the entire wedding party can be rented. The wedding reception is main attraction with a festive multi-course meal with musicians and troubadours. The couple can also take the vows in the language of medieval times.
These are just a few of the wedding themes but the important thing is that you should choose a theme with which both the partners are satisfied. Some themes are more costly than others so you should select a theme which is the most suitable according to your budget.

Q: Rails Functional Test using Recaptcha My UsersControllerTest currently fails because I use verify_recaptcha in UsersController#create. How can I write my tests such that a known good CAPTCHA response is passed with params[:user]? I am using reCAPTCHA, but I suppose the question would apply to any CAPTCHA implementation.
Here is my UsersController#create
def create
  @user = User.new(params[:user])
  if verify_recaptcha(@user) && @user.save
    flash[:notice] = "Account registered!"
    redirect_to new_order_url
  else
    flash.now[:error] = "Account not registered!"
    render :action => :new
  end
end

and here is my functional test
test "should create user" do
    assert_difference('User.count') do
      post :create, :user => { :login => "jdoe",
                               :password => "secret",
                               :password_confirmation => "secret",
                               :first_name => 'john',
                               :last_name => 'doe',
                               :address1 => '123 Main St.',
                               :city => 'Anytown',
                               :state => 'XY',
                               :zip => '99999',
                               :country => 'United States',
                               :email => 'jdoe@example.com' }
    end
end

This test fails as follows
  4) Failure:

A: Try using flexmock or mocha to have all instances of verify_recaptcha return true:
This line in my app made the create test pass without a problem on my app:
flexmock(User).new_instances.should_receive(:verify_recaptcha).and_return(true)

If you add this line before the "create" action takes place it should work.
Also, I haven't tried out this recaptcha plugin, but this might also be of help for you:

The collection consists of records from the New York Aquarium and the Osborn Laboratories of Marine Sciences. The Aquarium material consists of Directors' files, departmental files, and exhibit records. The Directors' files consist primarily of subject files kept by Directors Christopher W. Coates, Paul L. Montreuil, and Ross F. Nigrelli, and document the construction, opening, and initial operation of the New York Aquarium in Coney Island, as well as its ongoing operation and expansion. The departmental records were for the most part created by the Aquarium's animal curators and its Education Department. Major subjects include the Aquarium's volunteer/docent program, its educational programs, the duties of Aquarium tank-men, the animal collection, and relations between Aquarium staff and their colleagues at the New York Zoological Society. The Aquarium's exhibit records document the planning, design, construction, and appearance of the Aquarium's animal facilities. The series is arranged roughly chronologically, starting with Charles Townsend's labels from the original Battery Park Aquarium and continuing through the Sea Cliffs exhibit that opened in the early 1990s. The OLMS material includes correspondence, administrative records, and topical files from OLMS Directors Ross F. Nigrelli and George D. Ruggieri. The records document the planning, funding, and construction of the laboratories at the New York Aquarium in Coney Island, the scientists who worked there, and their research interests and activities. The collection also includes personnel files with additional material pertaining to the research interests of and grants pursued by OLMS and Aquarium personnel, materials from NYZS trustee and Aquarium supporter Nixon Griffis, and a scrapbook of clippings concerning the New York Aquarium from around 1900.
Certain portions of this collection are subject to access restrictions. Please contact the WCS Archives regarding possible access restrictions.
The collection holds records from the New York Aquarium and the Osborn Laboratories of Marine Sciences. The New York Aquarium, founded in 1896 and operated by the New York Zoological Society since 1902, was moved from its original Manhattan location in 1941. After an interlude at the Bronx Zoo, a new Aquarium opened in 1957 in Coney Island, Brooklyn. The Aquarium's research laboratories, which had also been moved offsite, reunited with the public Aquarium a decade later, in 1967. The Aquarium portion of the collection consists of materials from Directors Christopher W. Coates, Paul L. Montreuil, and Ross F. Nigrelli, from its Education Department and curatorial staff, and exhibit records dating from the Aquarium's original building through the tenure of Director Louis E. Garibaldi. The OLMS material consists of correspondence, administrative records, and topical files from OLMS Directors Ross F. Nigrelli and George D. Ruggieri, and document the construction of the laboratories at the New York Aquarium in Coney Island, the scientists who worked there, and their research interests and activities. There are also files from NYZS trustee and Aquarium supporter Nixon Griffis and an early scrapbook on the Aquarium.
The New York Aquarium was founded in 1896 at Castle Clinton in Battery Park, at the southern tip of Manhattan. Soon thereafter, in 1902, the New York Zoological Society (NYZS) was given control of the Aquarium, which the Society has operated ever since. NYZS installed Charles H. Townsend as the Aquarium's Director, and under his leadership the Aquarium was a wildly popular destination for viewing freshwater and marine animals. From its earliest years the Aquarium also sponsored a research program; Ida M. Mellen, Charles M. Breder, Jr., and Christopher W. Coates were among the scientists employed as ichthyologists in this era.
When Charles Breder assumed the position of the Aquarium's second Director upon Townsend's retirement, he had the misfortune of starting his tenure just as New York City Parks Commissioner Robert Moses was eyeing Battery Park for demolition in order to make way for his proposed Brooklyn-Battery Bridge. That bridge was defeated by opponents in favor of a tunnel, but nevertheless in 1941 Moses largely dismantled Castle Clinton, closing down the Aquarium and sending its exhibits to temporary quarters at NYZS's Bronx Zoo. By the 1950s, Moses supported a new New York Aquarium in Coney Island, Brooklyn, conveniently reachable from the suburbs surrounding the city via Moses's system of expressways, bridges, and parkways spanning from Westchester to Long Island and eventually across the harbor to Staten Island and New Jersey.
On the NYZS side of things, the construction of the new Aquarium was shepherded by Christopher Coates, who became its third Director in 1956. The New York Aquarium reopened to much fanfare in 1957, and its modernized exhibits were once again hugely successful. Coates retired from the directorship in 1964 and resumed his research efforts. In the meantime, over the ensuing decade, the Aquarium's next three Directors oversaw the institution through a transitional era characterized by New York City's changing demographics and increasing financial difficulties.
Meanwhile the Aquarium's research program had continually expanded in size and scope. Even the closure of the old Aquarium did not deter its scientists; NYZS rented space at the American Museum of Natural History to accommodate new labs focused on genetics and marine biochemistry and ecology. Research interests included oncology, teratology, aquaculture, and marine natural products. This last field was particular fruitful for Ross F. Nigrelli, who was named Chairman of the Marine Biochemistry and Ecology Laboratory in 1957 and who had isolated the antibiotic toxin holothurin in 1952. Starting with the opening of the new Aquarium, Nigrelli and other advocates of the Aquarium's research program pushed to reunite the labs with the Aquarium proper.
These advocates included NYZS President Fairfield Osborn. Upon Nigrelli's appointment as the Aquarium's Director of Research in 1964, Osborn moved to aid Nigrelli with the fundraising, planning, and other efforts needed to make that vision a reality. In 1965 architect Harmon Goldstone designed the laboratories' new building; during construction the building and the labs were officially dedicated to Osborn and thus became the Osborn Laboratories of Marine Sciences (OLMS), with Nigrelli at their helm. OLMS opened in 1967, and while the period from 1965 to 1975 was a time of growing pains for the Aquarium, the era was OLMS's golden age. When Nigrelli retired in 1973, his Assistant Director, George D. Ruggieri, SJ, assumed his responsibilities.
A marine biologist and Jesuit priest who had started his career at the Aquarium's research labs in 1962, Ruggieri quickly gained increasing responsibilities at both the Aquarium and OLMS, having been named Coordinator of Research when the Labs joined the Aquarium in Coney Island in 1967, becoming the Assistant Director of the Aquarium at the same time he took over the directorship of OLMS, and becoming the Aquarium's Director in 1976. Ruggieri championed the Aquarium and OLMS both within NYZS and outside of it, ensuring the completion of previously planned exhibits whose construction was threatened by budget shortfalls, expanding outreach to donors and politicians as city funding sources dried up, and tirelessly promoting OLMS research efforts even as major sponsors increasingly shifted their attentions away from non-academic research labs. Ruggieri's passing in 1987 marked the end of an era for both institutions.
The Osborn Laboratories never recovered from the loss. Although the Aquarium continued to support its scientists, no new Director was named after the last one stepped down in 2005, at which time what was left of the laboratories' research program was folded into the Aquarium's work. The Aquarium, by contrast, has enjoyed renewed successes. Major exhibits that Ruggieri had started planning for, such as Discovery Cove and Sea Cliffs, were brought to fruition by his successor, Louis E. Garibaldi. Additional new exhibits have come on line since then, with the 2010s seeing a new wave of construction at the Aquarium after the devastating effects of 2012's Superstorm Sandy.

Sylvester Stallone Says He Nearly Died Making Rocky IV: 'I Was Going to Be Talking to Angels'
United Artists/courtesy Everett
Sylvester Stallone is reflecting on the making of his 1985 movie Rocky IV in a brand new documentary.
The actor, 75, has launched The Making of Rocky vs. Drago by Sylvester Stallone on his YouTube channel the place he recalled his first day of filming a struggle scene with Dolph Lundgren, who portrayed Rocky's important competitor Ivan Drago within the sequel.
Describing his first day of filming with Lundgren, Stallone stated, "The first thing we shot [was] my entrance, his entrance and the introductions and then I got really injured during the fight and I had to be flown into intensive care to California from Canada."
Stallone stated he had inspired Lundgren, an actor and martial artist, to indicate his "dominance" within the scene in opposition to Rocky.
