The seasonally adjusted consumer confidence index deteriorated in September, falling to 40.1 points, down from the 40.5 points recorded in August. As a result, consumer sentiment is now 2.0 points above the level observed in the same month last year. The consumer confidence index measures consumer expectations over the next six months, with a value of 100 points indicating that all respondents see their living standards improving. The monthly drop was broad-based as all but one of the main components deteriorated over the previous month. The largest losses were seen in job conditions and, to a lesser extent, in the willingness to buy durable goods, while the overall livelihood sub-category retreated timidly. On the other hand, income growth recorded a mild gain. Owing to the monthly fall, the Cabinet Office maintained its assessment, saying that "consumer sentiment is weakening".
Note: Index of consumer sentiment. The 50-point threshold represents the point above which consumers expect economic conditions to improve.

Painting of Wolfe by Frank H. Mason (1979), for the Dialectic Society
Thomas Clayton Wolfe was born in 1900 in Asheville, North Carolina, the youngest of eight children of William Oliver Wolfe and Julia Elizabeth Westall.
Wolfe began his studies at UNC just before his 16th birthday, in September 1916. Aspiring to be a playwright, in 1919 Wolfe enrolled in a playwriting course taught by Frederick Koch. His one-act play, The Return of Buck Gavin, was performed by the newly formed Carolina Playmakers, then composed of classmates in his playwriting class, with Wolfe acting the title role. Another of his plays, The Third Night, was performed by the Playmakers in December 1919.
While at UNC, Wolfe was inducted into the Order of the Golden Fleece and also the Satyrs, was editor-in-chief of The Tar Heel, won the Worth Award for Philosophy for an essay titled The Crisis in Industry, was class poet, a member of the Dialectic Society, a member of the Buncombe Club, worked on the boards of Yackety Yack and Carolina Magazine (among other student publications), a cadet in the University Battalion (in 1st Platoon, Company C) in 1918, and belonged to the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity from 1918 to 1920. In his senior year Yackety Yack, he was named "Best Writer," "Most Original," and "Wittiest."
Wolfe graduated from UNC with a B.A. in June 1920, and in September entered Harvard University, where he studied playwriting under George Pierce Baker.
Wolfe went on to write four novels: Look Homeward, Angel (1929), Of Time and the River (1935), The Web and the Rock (1935), and You Can't Go Home Again (1940). You Can't Go Home Again was published after his death from tuberculosis at the age of 37 in 1938, while on a literary tour.
In his autobiographical novel Look Homeward, Angel (originally titled O Lost), Wolfe describes his time in Chapel Hil and at UNC, which was called "Pulpit Hill" in the novel, via his alter ego, Eugene Gant.
Wolfe was buried in Riverside Cemetery in Asheville, North Carolina, next to his parents and siblings.

Give your lawn the strength that it needs to be beautiful for years to come. Here are some tips, compliments of our Columbus team.
Looking for that perfect home that will one day accompany your perfect lawn? Browse now.
1. Always rake with the wind, and rake downhill whenever possible. Leaves are light, but they have enough weight to respond to the pull of gravity.
2. Share the wealth with your lawn. Leaves contain some of the nutrients that trees and shrubs have taken out of the soil, and it's in keeping with nature's plan that you should give back some of those purloined nutrients by mowing over part of your annual leaf-fall, thus returning organic matter to the soil from whence it came. This works best in early fall when the first leaves are coming down and grass still benefits from mowing. In addition to helping the lawn, it's easier to rake turf areas that have been smoothed over by a good mowing.
3. Keep whole leaves from blowing away by stomping through the pile. If you are using a bin or other enclosure, leave it open on one side until you're through collecting leaves. That way, you can rake or dump right into the pile without lifting your loads over the sides of the bin, and your leaf pile will be accessible for walk-in stomping.
4. Minimize how far you move your leaves. Rake them directly onto nearby beds that won't be worked until spring. Use shredded leaves as mulch beneath foundation shrubs. Maintain leaf piles in different parts of your yard so you won't have to drag or carry tarps full of leaves any farther than necessary.
5. Match your rake to the type of leaves you have in your yard and to your body. At stores, try rakes on for size before you buy. Rakes with metal tines last longer than plastic ones, but plastic tines may be lighter.
6. Use your mower to shred what you can. Put shredded leaves to work in active compost projects. Set aside whole leaves in a separate pile and deal with them later when you have more time.
7. Mix leaf species whenever possible. Leaf-eating microorganisms that get started on thin maple or dogwood leaves will move on to thicker oak leaves as the pile decomposes.
8. Wear gloves to prevent blisters. Cloth gloves are comfy, but any glove that protects your skin from rubbing on the rake handle will suffice.
9. Wear a dust mask when shredding leaves with your mower, especially if you have allergies or are easily irritated by dust.
10. Don't pick up leaves unless you must.Instead, use an old sheet as a tarp, pick up the corners, and carry or drag the bundle to your piles. Few carts or wheelbarrows have the capacity and portability necessary to make them worthwhile during leaf season. Use a sheet, tarp, or sling to collect and move shredded leaves.
11. Watch the noise. When you're not in the mood to mess with your mower, or the sound of a leaf blower or shredder would ruin your neighbors' quiet afternoon in their yard, fall back to manual raking and collecting methods and work with whole leaves.
12. Work a little at a time, and stop when you've had enough. Keep in mind that leaf season will last for several weeks, so you have plenty of time to let yourself enjoy the weather and the work.

The Number of Colleges Continues to Shrink
Doug Lederman
The days when releases of federal data on college enrollments were newsworthy have largely passed, ever since the National Student Clearinghouse began reporting much more up-to-date information and doing so on a quarterly basis.
But the U.S. Education Department's Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System remains the best source of data on many other aspects of American higher education. And its most recent release of data shows that the higher education industry is continuing to shrink — and that the for-profit sector is no longer the only one constricting.
The number of colleges and universities eligible to award federal financial aid fell to 6,063 in the just completed 2020-21 academic year, down from 6,145 in 2019-20 and 6,642 in 2017-18. Closures of for-profit colleges and universities (across the board, from those certificate-granting institutions to those that award bachelor's degrees) accounted for about three-quarters of the 579 institutions that disappeared over that three-year period.
But public and private nonprofit colleges and universities are not immune from seeing their numbers shrink, especially more recently.
Over all, the number of public four-year institutions has risen since 2017-18, to 773 from 760, but quite of the few of the additional institutions (the number peaked at 791 in 2019-20) are community colleges that began offering enough bachelor's degrees to qualify as four-year institutions.
The number of public four-year universities declined by 2.3 percent from 2019-20 to 2020-21, and the number of community colleges dropped by 2.7 percent in that year.

Q: d3.js - time scale label in languages other than English I have realized a line chart with AngularJS and d3.
The x-axis shows a time scale over months (Feb to Oct). So the ticks are labeled with February, March, ... October.
How can I get the ticks in other languages than English?
For example if my app is in German I like to have the German month names.

A: The solution of Lars is working: Recompiling d3.js on a machine with German settings and including d3.de_DE.js instead of d3.js gives the time-scale with German names.
In the source you find the files
src/time/format-localized.js and
src/format/format-localized.js with the English settings.

Roxana Saberi Thanks Secretary Clinton For Securing Her Release
Margaret Hartmann
Filed to: Freedom of the PressFiled to: Freedom of the Press
Roxana Saberi
Roxana Saberi met with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton yesterday to thank her for pushing for her release from Iran's Evin prison. The state-run news network in Iran has pointed out that Saberi still hasn't thanked Iranian officials for freeing her.
A week after Saberi returned to the U.S. following her 100-day imprisonment, she and her parents met with Clinton at the State Department. At a conference in the Netherlands in March, Clinton broke with the usual diplomatic isolation of Iran and passed a letter supporting Saberi's release directly to the country's delegation.
Yesterday, Clinton told reporters:
This was a matter of great concern to our country, certainly to the Obama administration, to me personally, not only as secretary of state, but as a mother. My heart went out to Roxana and to her parents every single day.
Saberi thanked Clinton, President Obama, and the American people and others around the world for lobbying for her freedom. She said:
When I found out that I had the support while I was in prison, I gained a lot of strength and hope, and I didn't feel so alone anymore. It's wonderful to be back in the United States. I'm very proud to be an American, just as I'm proud of my Japanese and Iranian heritage. It's wonderful to be back.
The 32-year-old journalist had been living in Iran since 2003, but was convicted of spying for the U.S. and sentenced to eight years in prison following her arrest in January. Earlier this month, an Iranian appeals court reduced her sentence to a two-year jail term suspended for five years on grounds that she couldn't be punished for cooperating with a hostile nation since the U.S. and Iran are not at war, according to The New York Times.
In the Press TV account of Saberi and Clinton's meeting, the state-run news agency noted that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad also wrote a letter to judiciary officials asking for a fair trial. The articles stated that Saberi "had confessed that she had been engaged in acts of espionage by gaining access to classified documents," but still hasn't thanked the Iranian officials who released her.

Here at Omni Eye Care, we strive to provide the best treatment for our patient community. We work hard to gain the confidence of our patients by giving the best possible eye care. Our Plano optometrist, Dr. Markar Taroyan, has been treating patients for 28 years as a board certified optometrist.
We are proud to serve Plano, Frisco, North Dallas and surrounding areas.
Beginning with an annual eye exam for you and your family members, we can get a good look at your overall eye care needs. Dr. Taroyan provides personalized care throughout the eye exam process, and if you have eye conditions or vision correction needs, he will assist you in every way to find treatment.
Glaucoma affects as many as 3 million people in the U.S., causing irreversible vision loss and, in many cases, complete blindness in one or both eyes. The risk of developing glaucoma is higher among people who are older and among those with diabetes and a family history of the disease. Having routine eye exams is critical for identifying the disease early so treatment can begin before significant vision loss occurs.
We also offer complete vision correction for issues including nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and blurry vision. Thanks to our optometry lab where we fit you for eyewear and contact lenses, we can help you improve your vision right here in our clinic.
I am so happy to have found this place although it's pretty far from where I live. Dr. Taroyan really takes the time to explain the condition of your eyes and walks you through exactly what he's examining and why in layman's terms. It's such a relief to find an optometrist who truly cares and you can just tell is passionate about what he does. I should add that the staff are very friendly and equally helpful. If you're looking for an eye doctor I would really recommend him.

College: Worth the Cost?
Only half of college grads say their educations were definitely worth what they paid for them.

Was it all worth it?

This post originally appeared on Inside Higher Ed.
Just half of college alumni "strongly agree" that their educations were worth what they paid for them, according to the newest data from an ongoing Gallup-Purdue University study of college graduates.
The survey—which is the largest of its kind and annually polls a nationally representative sample of about 30,000 college alumni—attempts to measure whether colleges are doing enough to help students' well-being in life after they graduate by asking questions about how engaged they are at work. This year the survey went further, adding in new questions asking if alumni felt college was "worth it." Graduates were asked to rate on a five-point scale how much they agreed with the statement "My education from [University Name] was worth the cost."
Half of all graduates said they strongly agreed that college was worth the price, with little variation among private and public institutions. Only 26 percent of alumni from for-profit colleges strongly agreed with the statement.
"Given the value we as a country place on education, you would expect that we would have a much higher percentage who say they definitely agree with that statement," Brandon Busteed, executive director of Gallup Education and Workforce Development, said. "We're talking about graduates of all ages. That was a real shocker to me."
Less surprising, Busteed said, was how younger graduates and those with large amounts of student debt felt about the question.
Alumni who graduated between 2006 and 2015 and thus into a less stable employment market were less likely to agree that college was worth the price. About 38 percent of those graduates strongly agreed with the statement.
Among graduates who took out student loans of any amount, 33 percent said they strongly agreed that their educations were worth what they spent. As their amount of student debt increased, the graduates were less likely to see the value of their educations. About 43 percent of graduates who borrowed $25,000 or less strongly agreed that college was worth what they paid. For those who borrowed between $25,001 and $50,000, 30 percent strongly agreed with the statement.
Among alumni who were in more than $50,000 of debt, only 18 percent said they strongly agreed that college was worth their investment.
If those graduates recalled "supportive relationships with professors and mentors," however, they were twice as likely to say their educations were worth the price. Nearly 50 percent of students who graduated with $25,000 or more in student debt said they strongly agreed that college was worth it if they had those kinds of relationships, the survey found. For recent graduates with high debt who could not recall having a supportive relationship with a professor or staff member, only 25 percent strongly agreed.
"That's such a fascinating point, because that's telling us that if we place more value and emphasis on that kind of support, it makes a very real difference," Busteed said.
Also making a difference, the survey found, is the amount of experiential learning opportunity a student has while in college. If recent graduates had experienced either "an internship related to their studies, active involvement in extracurricular activities or a project that took a semester or more to complete," they were one-and-a-half times more likely to strongly agree that their educations were worth their expenditures.
The findings were similar to what the survey found last year, when it first asked about well-being and workplace engagement.
If working graduates remember having had a professor who cared about them, made them excited to learn or encouraged them to follow their dreams—which Gallup called being "emotionally supported" while in college—the graduates' odds of being engaged at work more than doubled.
Graduates whose college experiences included the aforementioned forms of "experiential and deep learning" were twice as likely to be engaged in their work. But only 3 percent of graduates said they had all six of the formative college experiences that meant they had both emotional support and deep learning.
"Deep experiential learning is really important, but it's not as simple as just having a paid job or internship," Busteed said. "It needs to be work where you're really applying what you're learning. I think even if an individual professor just thought carefully about the job or internship the student was going to have over a summer, the two could come up with examples of how to tie their learning into that experience. It has a profound impact."


David Foster Wallace — one of my favorite writers, one of the best modern American writers, someone who proved that there are still people around who want to write the great American novel and might even pull it off — has died. I want to write something fitting about him and don't have time right now (sorry, posting has been a little light of late, but as Sidney Falco says, I've been up to here), so it'll have to wait. Until then, something funny and charming. By way of David Brent Johnson comes this Bob Clampett cartoon from 1959. It's something about a boy and his pet sea serpent trying to catch a "wild man" — a beatnik voiced by Lord Buckley. I've never been the biggest Lord Buckley fan, but this is just wonderful.

Virgin Australia: After America comes Asia, all of it
Following the overnight provisional approval by the US of the Virgin Australia-Delta Airlines alliance the Australian carrier is lining up a comprehensive set of arrangements to cover all of Asia, north, south-east, and China, Japan and Korea, by December 31.

Following the overnight provisional approval by the US of the Virgin Australia-Delta Airlines alliance the Australian carrier is lining up a comprehensive set of arrangements to cover all of Asia, north, south-east, and China, Japan and Korea, by December 31.
In a teleconference, Virgin Australia's CEO John Borghetti wouldn't be drawn on it being a one carrier solution, but volunteered that it "could be two, three or four" instead of possibly one.
Which leads inescapably to the conclusion that it will be multiple carriers, since to be competitive Virgin Australia will need to be able to sell code shared seats on non-stop flights to the key destinations.
Notwithstanding the delights of transiting Singapore Airport, or Hong Kong.
A quick look at the Delta route map also shows that the US carrier has a substantial network of non-stop flights between the US and major centres in China and Japan, for example.
Not to overlook the non-stop flights Singapore Airlines makes to Newark (for New York) and Los Angeles. Borghetti urged reporters to look at route maps and connect the dots, so there. It leaps from the maps!
Borghetti also linked the new Delta alliance and the forthcoming 'AsiaFlyer' arrangements if we can hazard a guess at a marketing name, to universal earn and burn of points on all of those routes in the soon to be launched all new Virgin Australian frequent flyer loyalty program. Maybe it will be called "Asia All Points"?
Maybe Plane Talking is getting way, way, too ahead of events. But it was an upbeat conference, a rarity in airline briefings in recent times.
The contrast between Qantas talking about how it is struggling to turn a dollar on international routes and Virgin Australia talking about how it is going to make everyone else fly internationally for it is impossible to ignore.
The aviation media is probably going to start calling Borghetti just to break fits of depression.
By coincidence, much earlier this morning, about the same time the US Department of Transportation was announcing the transformation that the most recent filing by Delta and Virgin Australia had inflicted on its previous disapproval of their planned dalliance, er, alliance, Borghetti says he was clinching a deal to send all six of his Embraer E-70 jets to a five year working holiday with his new American partner.
"The first of them goes this afternoon," he said. "I'm going to go outside my office to wave it goodbye."
The economics of the 76 seat E-70s never worked for the airline, however Borghetti said the 104 seat E-90s would definitely be staying, indeed would be totally refurbished with the new business class product and new economy seats as soon as the Boeing 737s were all converted to the new products announced last week at the Virgin Australia launch.

Astrology is a tool for self-awareness and self-understanding which offers a way towards more self-acceptance – which can be a healing experience in itself!
Hands-on healing, which may or may not include physical touch according to personal preference, is usually very relaxing and can help with a range of conditions – including recovery from injury, general well-being, stress-related and chronic conditions.
Flower essences work on the emotional level and are very gentle in their action. Physical disease conditions can often be attributed to emotional imbalances.
Homoeopathy works on the principle of 'like cures like', using substances, which, in their raw state could cause the symptoms which they help to alleviate when diluted and potentised (succussed violently in order to release their healing 'essence'). Remedies can work on a first-aid/symptomatic level as well as at a deeper, more constitutional level.


In response to a PIL, the Supreme Court has ordered the central government to take steps to provide care and rights to the elderly in India.
• Recently, the Supreme Court (SC) has ordered that governments must strictly implement the provisions of Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act 2007 (MWP Act).
• Fundamental Right to Live with Human Dignity: The right to dignity, health and shelter are basic rights of elderly under Right to Life as provided under Article 21 of the Indian constitution.
• Pension Benefits: It suggested to make the pension to the elderly more realistic.
The State of the Pension Report 2018 stated that some states give pension as low as Rs. 200 per month which even compromises the dignity of individual.
• Create a Database: The central government must obtain the necessary information about the numbers of old age homes and medical facilities available in each district.
• The 'elderly' or 'senior citizen' is a person aged 60 and above according to Senior Citizens Act, 2007.
• The population of senior citizens in India is 10.38 crore as per census 2011.
There is a right to live, but no right to die in India.
A person living diseased, dejected and dependent old life continues to live in that state as India doesn't allow active euthanasia.
However, in 2011, a SC in its landmark judgment in the Aruna Shanbaug case, issued a set of broad guidelines legalizing passive euthanasia in India in specific cases.
• The case for Universal Pension scheme for elderly?
Pension Parishad (a NGO fighting for the rights of elderly in India) demanded a Universal and Non Contributory Old Age Pension by the government with a minimum amount of monthly pension not less than 50% of minimum wage orRs 2000/- per month, whichever is higher available to all men aged 55 plus and women aged 50 plus.
To counter fiscal unsustainability and inflationary pressure, a cess could be levied on industries.
The global integration, modernisation diluted the old family system making elderlies vulnerable.
Its direct evidence is increasing number of old age homes and day care centres. But it also provided them with means like fast mobility, communication, various recreational avenues to live old life actively, meaningfully and pursue various interests.
However, the debate continues regarding the impacts of globalization on elderly in India.
strong as in rural areas.
Financial constraints don't allow them to pursue creativities.
Neglect from family members force many to prefer day care centres and old age homes than staying with children.
Due to financial issues: The lower caste elderly due to financial issues have to keep on working for livelihood even at old age. Although difficult but it keeps them active, maintains sense of self-worth and garners respect from family.
While for the upper caste elderlies, good jobs become less available and they hesitate to take menial jobs.
It renders them jobless so a feeling of 'worthlessness' and frustration arises.
They keep on contributing in household works and child care under care economy providing unpaid services.
Hence, they do not have adequate savings in lifetime and face financial hardships and their health issues remain much neglected.
• Social: Alienation, isolation, loss of social and inter – personal connect in the changing times has marginalized the Old persons.
• Economic: Financial dependency for food and medicine on others often result in unmet needs.
• According to ILO report, Care work and care jobs for the future of decent work, there were 200 million older persons in need of care in 2015.
• If not addressed properly, current deficits in care work and its quality will create a severe and unsustainable global care crisis and further increase gender inequalities in the world of work.
• Healthcare: Senility, dementia and age related health issues trouble them. Further, expensive medicines, lack of proper Public healthcare, low hospital availability in rural areas makes life harder.
• Psychological: Nuclear family system and trend of migration from native places – create psychological insecurity and emotional pain of living away from family.
• Technological: The fast changing technologies and inability to cope with the ways of the modern world pose difficulty in integration with new generation.
• Security: Presently, the community culture has changed and it has made them vulnerable to crimes.
• Legislation: Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act 2007 provides Protection and Rehabilitation to Elderly.
• Adequate medical facilities for them.
• Integrated Program for Older People (IPOP): To improve the quality of life of the older people by providing basic needs like food, shelter, medical care etc., and assistance to NGOs in providing care services.
• National Council of Senior Citizens (NCSrC): Ensure provisions for elderly people in government schemes and activities.
• Pension schemes: Various schemes like National Old Age Pension Scheme, Varishth Pension Yojana, Atal Pension Scheme (APS) and many other by state governments exist to provide financial aid.
• Rashtriya Vayoshri Yojana: It provides senior citizens belonging to BPL category with Assisted Living Devices to aid in low vision/hearing impairment or locomotors and other disabilities.
• Vayoshreshtha Sammans: This National Award for Senior Citizens is provided for rendering distinguished services for the cause of elderly persons.
• Reverse mortgage scheme by National Housing Bank allows a house owner elderly to avail a monthly stream of income against mortgage of the house while remaining the owner and occupant throughout his/her lifetime.
• Concessions like in Income Tax and on railways travels prices are provided.
Issues with Existing Government Mechanisms?
• Elderlies face Difficulties in providing the relevant documents (like age proof).
• Long waiting period and delays in release of payments.
• Financial: A Universal Monthly Pension of minimum Rs. 2,000 for the elderly should be provided.
Housing for the aged, must be a priority. A provision could be created under Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana for houses to be built for old homeless.
More tax breaks can be thought out, or at least removing tax on deposit interest for elderlies can be done.
• Healthcare: Free medical care for elderly through insurance and PPP mechanism can be incorporated in policy making.
A systematic mechanism should be created to channelize the corporate social responsibility funds for the cause of elderly.
Overall an overhauling of the geriatric care system is to be ensured across country.
• Psychological: The stereotyping of older people as frail and dependent is not right. Their contributions are often overlooked while their needs and demands are overemphasized.
• Social: Government and people must ensure adequate food, shelter, medicine and other care facilities and make policies that enable them to continue participating in society.
There is need to establish a higher number of Old age Homes.
• Elderly should be seen as a resource: They carry immense experience and knowledge which is very useful for communities and nation.
They can help youth overcome problems of drugs and violence; share their life experience like Indian Prime Minister asking all retirees to save their work experience for newcomers.
They can be moral guides for community causes like Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan, and do counselling. In this way they can monetise and channelize their social capital.
Old People's Associations (OPAs) in Vietnam are great example of cooperative way of functioning. These are democratically run associations of elderlies in each village and town. They set agendas, serve community causes and represent their needs to government.

UFO Crashes at Spitzbergen, Norway, 1946 & 1952
In the early 1950s, rumors began circulating that a crashed UFO had been recovered on the Norwegian-owned island of Spitzbergen., or Spitsbergen, is one of a group of islands called Svalbard, which have been Norwegian possessions since the 1920s. The islands lie over 500 miles north of Norway, inside the Arctic Circle. The few thousand inhabitants of the island were once mostly coal miners, but in recent years an increase in tourism due to the natural beauty of the islands has opened up other areas of income for them.
There are actually two separate UFO crash stories about Spitzbergen. The first is that a crashed UFO and alien bodies were discovered there in May, 1946. The story goes that in August of 1946 retired (General James H. Doolittle) made a visit to Spitzbergen to see the craft while on a trip to Sweden for his employer, the Shell Oil Company. Some sources say he arranged for it to be brought to the U.S. for study.
The 1952 Spitzbergen crash story first appeared in the German newspaper "Saarbrücker Zeitung" in June 1952. The article, entitled "Auf Spitzbergen landete Fliegende Untertasse", was soon picked up by several other German newspapers, with many of them citing "The Stuttgarter Tagerblatt" as the original source. The story was that jets of the Norwegian Air Force spotted a crashed UFO while flying over Spitzbergen on maneuvers. The craft was disc-shaped with a series of jets around the rim of the disc to make it spin. According to the first article about the crash, the craft was an unmanned, remote-controlled vehicle with Russian writing on the controls, but as the story was embroidered with each retelling, it soon acquired seven alien crewmen who were burned to death in the crash.
1946 Spitzbergen UFO Crash
This version is said to have been reported briefly by journalist Dorothy Kilgallen, and to have been immediately pulled from the news media by the U.S. military. It has been said that "according to former sailors who were serving on the battleship U.S.S. Alabama at the time, the UFO was brought to the U.S. on that vessel directly from Spitzbergen." The 1946 case, more than anything else, is memorable for its characters. The legend goes something like this; In 1946, General James H. Doolittle was sent to Sweden by the Shell Oil Company, supposedly to investigate the mystery of the "Ghost Rockets." Why an oil company would investigate UFOs is beyond common understanding, unless they felt this could strengthen their profits somehow.
The 1946 story is a mixture of stories as told by various sources. General Doolittle went to Sweden for the Shell Oil Company in 1946, and he was apparently asked to investigate the phenomenon of "Ghost Rockets" while on this trip. Whether he went to Spitzbergen during this trip is unverifiable. Several sources say that Dorothy Kilgallen claimed to have been told by someone high in the British government (Possibly Lord Mountbatten.) that a crashed UFO had been recovered and was being studied by the British and U.S. governments. However, many of the sources make no mention of Spitzbergen, insinuating instead that Britain itself was the crash site. Kilgallen, although she is perhaps best known today for being a panelist on the TV game show "What's My Line?" in the 1950s and 1960s, was a well-known journalist who not only wrote a "gossip column", but also covered hard news stories. She covered the Lindbergh kidnapping and in the 1950s covered the Sam Sheppard murder trial. She died of a drugs & alcohol overdose under what some said were (mysterious circumstances) after interviewing Jack Ruby about the Kennedy assassination in 1965. Her item about a UFO crash is said to have appeared in "The Los Angeles Examiner". In addition to being a game show regular, Kilgallen also was a journalist of a sort, having written "gossip columns," but she also was well known for covering hard current events. She had covered the headline grabbing Lindbergh kidnapping story. In the 1950s, she had covered one of the top stories of her time, the Sam Sheppard murder trial.
Her last real claim to fame was in the 1960s when she got an interview with Lee Harvey Oswald killer Jack Ruby. This interview was carried by the "Los Angeles Examiner." She told friends that she had information that would "break the case wide open." On 8th November, 1965, Dorothy Kilgallen, was found dead in her New York apartment. She was fully dressed and sitting upright in her bed. The police reported that she had died from taking a cocktail of alcohol and barbiturates. The notes of her interview with Ruby and the article she was writing on the case had disappeared. Luckily, she had given a friend a draft of her interview. Kilgallen was probably fearful for her own life, since several other writers who had worked on the Oswald / Ruby case had died under "unusual circumstances." Kilgallen's reputation and notoriety was the only thing that kept the weak story of the Spitzbergen crash of 1946 alive. The last hope of further research into the Norwegian crash died along with her, as her sources were never verified.
Somehow, he supposedly wound up in Spitzbergen. There are a number of Internet sites which claim that there was a short lived article published in America of a UFO crash in the Norwegian city about this time. Some people claim to have seen the article. The really odd thing about the tale of this case is the question must be asked what does Doolittle have to do with UFOs or this story, since he is only mentioned as being in the area and that is the end of his involvement.
The only redeeming part of this particular case is that it was reported by Dorothy Kilgallen, celebrity for her years appearing on the "What's My Line?" TV game show. She claimed that someone in the upper echelon of the British government informed her that a UFO had crashed near Spitzbergen, and was under investigation by the British and American military. Supposedly, this informant was Lord Mountbatten.
Some investigators claim that since no mention of the name Spitzbergen was found in the reports that the location's mention was to cover up a crash in Great Britain. A crash in Great Britain during the same time period has no basis in fact either.
Did a UFO Crash on Spitzbergen in 1952?
The other Spitzbergen crash story first appeared in the German newspaper "Saarbrücker Zeitung" in June 1952. The article, entitled "Auf Spitzbergen landete Fliegende Untertasse", was soon picked up by several other German newspapers, with many of them citing "The Stuttgarter Tagerblatt" as the original source. The story was that jets of the Norwegian Air Force spotted a crashed UFO while flying over Spitzbergen on maneuvers. The craft was disc-shaped with a series of jets around the rim of the disc to make it spin. According to the first article about the crash, the craft was an unmanned, remote-controlled vehicle with Russian writing on the controls, but as the story was embroidered with each retelling, it soon acquired seven alien crewmen who were burned to death in the crash.
Journalist Frank Edwards wrote about this
Some of you are certainly familiar with the basic facts of the story, but for all of us to get well acquainted with it, we'll start off with the original source. We believe the first mention of a saucer crash on Spitsbergen is probably an article in a German newspaper, Saarbrücker Zeitung (1), 28 June 1952, entitled "Auf Spitzbergen landete Fliegende Untertasse". Following, is and English translation of that article.
FLYING SAUCER LANDED ON SPITZBERGEN
The puzzle finally solved? - "Silvery disc with dome of plexiglass and 46 jets on the rim" - Soviet origin?
Narvik, mid-June.
Norwegian jet planes had just started this year's summer maneuvers over Spitsbergen. A squadron of six planes were approaching, at maximum speed, the Nordaustlandet, where units of the supposed opponent had been reported. The jets had just crossed over the Hinlopen Straits when crackling and rustling noises could be heard on all ear phones and radio receivers. Radio contact among the jets was no longer possible; all means of communication between the jets seemed to be out of order. The radar reading, which had been showing "white" since from Narvik, was now on "red". This indicated an alert, the approach of a metallic alien object equipped with a radio direction finder that had a different frequency from that of the fighters.
Nevertheless, the highly experienced pilots were able to communicate with each other by means of circling and diving, so that each of them was aware of circling and diving, so that each of them was aware of their common situation, each one searching the horizon with the utmost attention. The six fighters circled for some time not finding anything that was out of the ordinary.
By chance, Air Captain Olaf Larsen happened to look down. Immediately he started to dive, followed by his squadron. On the white snowy landscape, the crusty surface of which had an icy glitter, there was a metallic, glittering circular disc of between 40 and 50 meters diameter, which was even brighter than icy snow. Between some wires and a tangle of supporting struts in the middle, the remains of an apparently partly destroyed cockpit protruded. While circling for 60 minutes, the jet pilots could neither detect any sign of life nor determine the origin or type of the vehicle. Finally, they took course for Narvik in order to report their strange findings.
Just a few hours later, five big flying boats, equipped with landing skis, took off for the place of discovery. They landed safely next to the bluish steel disc, which was sitting in a bed of snow and ice of more than one meter's depth.
"Undoubtedly one of the infamous flying saucers", claimed Dr. Norsel, a Norwegian rocket specialist, who had insisted on joining the flight. He also established the reason why all means of communication of the fighter planes had broken down on entering the zone of the landing spot, and why the radar equipment had signaled the alarm: a radio direction finder equipped with a plutonium core was undamaged and transmitting on all wave lengths at a frequency of 934 Hertz, which is not known by any country.
A precise inspection of the remote-controlled flying disc that landed on the Nordaustlandet of Spitsbergen due to interference problems, led to the following indisputable information.
1. The flying object, which has a diameter of 48,88 meters and slanting sides, is round and was unmanned.
2. The circular steel object, is made out of an unknown metal compound, resembles a silver disc. After ignition, 46 automatic jets, located at equal distances on the outer ring, rotate the disc around a plexiglassed center ball, that contains measuring and control devices for remote control.
3. The measuring instruments (gauges) have Russian symbols.
4. The action radius of the disc seems to be more than 30.000 km, and the altitude over 160 km.
5. The flying object, which resembles one of the legendary "flying saucers", has sufficient room for high explosive bombs, possibly nuclear bombs.
The Norwegian specialists assumed that the disc had started from the Soviet Union and had gone down over Spitsbergen due to a mistake in transmitting or receiving, being incapacitated because of the hard landing. The strange, remote-controlled, unmanned jet plane will be brought to Narvik on board a ship for further investigation. After hearing of the description of the disc, the German V-weapon designer Riedel stated: "That's a typical V-7 on whose serial production I have worked myself".
From a story in Flying Saucers - Serious Business, citing a "Stuttgarter Tagerblatt" article as his source. He also mentioned that he had written to a member of the Norwegian Board of Inquiry that had investigated the case and, four months later had received the following reply:
"I regret that it is impossible for me to respond to your questions at this time. "
What do we make of these stories? (Ole Jonny Brænne, of UFO Norway), says that his investigation shows that the second story must be a hoax. He says that the Norwegian Air Force had no jets in 1952 that could have been flying over Spitzbergen. He also went though the 1952 files of the island's own newspaper, "Svalbardposten" and was unable to find even the slightest mention of the story, likewise for Norwegian newspapers of that year. He was also unable verify that there was ever a newspaper called "The Stuttgarter Tagerblatt".
The later German newspaper stories seem to have confused the Spitzbergen story with another purported UFO crash that was supposed to have occured on the North Sea Island of Helgoland (Heligoland), a German possession.
As for the tantalizing 1946 story, its origins seem to be a mystery. Who can say that there isn't a grain of truth in it?

The Korean National Airlines came into being in the very early times of aviation in 1946. In 1962 the Government of South Korea established "The Korean Air" as a commercial national career. On 1 March 1969, the Hanjin Transport Group took control of the airline. Long-haul freight operations of Korean Air were introduced on 26 April 1971, followed by passenger services to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on 19 April 1972.
Korean Air started its International flights to Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Los Angeles with Boeing 707s until the introduction of the Boeing 747 in 1973.
In 1973, the airline introduced Boeing 747s on its Pacific routes and started operations for Paris, France using the 707 and then DC-10.
In 1975, the airline became one of the first Asian airlines to operate Airbus aircraft with the purchase of 3 A300s, which were put into immediate service on Asian routes. At that time, South Korean planes couldnt pass the sky of Soviet Union or North Korea, its route were Gimpo-Anchorage-Paris.
Change to 'Korean Air' Brand
on 1 March 1984 Korean introduced its new Logo with a blue-top, silver, and redesigned livery as new corporate sign "Korean Air" logo featuring a stylized Taegeuk design, this brought in the new name Korean Air. This livery was introduced on its Fokker F28s. It was designed in cooperation between Korean Air and Boeing.
In the 1990s, Korean Air became the first airline to use the new MD-11 to supplement its new fleet of Boeing 747-400 aircraft; however, the MD-11 did not meet the airline's performance requirements and they were eventually converted to freighters. Some older 747 aircraft were also converted for freight service.
Further expansion and founding of Jin Air
In the 1980s, Korean Air's head office was in the KAL Building on Namdaemunno, Jung-gu, Seoul.
As of 2007, Korean Air was in negotiations to open its China hub in Beijing or Shanghai by the end of 2008.
On 5 June 2007, Korean Air announced a new low-cost carrier with the name of Jin Air in Korea in competition of Korea's KTX high-speed railway network system, which offers cheaper fares and less stringent security procedures compared to air travel. This subsidiary the Jin Air, started its scheduled passenger service from Seoul to Jeju on 17 July 2008. Korean Air announced that some of its 737s and A300s would be given to Jin Air.
By 2009, Korean Air's image had become more prestigious, differing from the airline's late-1990s image, which had been tarnished by several fatal accidents.
In mid-2010, a co-marketing deal with games company Blizzard Entertainment sent a 747-400 and a 737-900 taking to the skies wrapped in StarCraft II branding. In August 2010, Korean Air announced heavy second-quarter losses despite record high revenue. In August 2010, Hanjin Group, the parent of Korean, opened a new cargo terminal at Navoi in Uzbekistan, which will become a cargo hub with regular Incheon-Navoi-Milan flights.

BANGKOK: Authorities arrested an Indonesian national and two Thais allegedly complicit in a call centre scam network, according to national police chief Gen Chakthip Chaijinda.
One was Tommy Wu, the Indonesian man accused of leading the gang, who was arrested in Bangkok's Ram Intra area over the weekend.
The two Thai suspects – Jirawat Klombang and Jirapat Kanarujinanon – were apprehended in Chiang Mai. Another four people allegedly associated with this syndicate are still on the run, Gen Chakthip told a media briefing yesterday (Dec 4).
The three will face charges of conspiring to commit public fraud, Gen Chakthip said, adding that the Anti-Money Laundering Office (Amlo) has been called in to try and track the gang's money trail.
More than 100 assets were seized from the gang, including 77 bank accounts with more than B77 million.
Other assets seized include six vehicles and real estate believed to be connected with the call centre syndicate. The seized assets were valued at around B120mn in total.
"Regarding the seized assets worth, the money will be returned to the victims within two weeks," said Pol Gen Chakthip.
According to the police chief, Wu was found to have persuaded seven or eight Thais to join the call centre scam to impersonate agency officials or open bank accounts.
The group, he said, used the Philippines and other countries in the region as bases for committing the offence. The scammers phoned victims in Thailand, claiming to be post office staff, officers of the Department of Special Investigation or the Royal Thai Police, according to Pol Gen Chakthip. Those callers claimed the victims had criminal records and their assets must be seized.
Then, they deceived these victims into wiring money to the gang's bank accounts, he said.
The owners of the accounts are Jirawat and Jirapat, the police chief said. The money was used to buy the virtual currency bitcoin, which was later wired to Wu.
Gen Chakthip appealed to people who opened bank accounts for the gang to stop doing so, as police are stepping up the investigation and will prosecute anyone involved.
He said people who have information about the scam could call 191 or 1599.
He also called on the public not to fall prey to scammers who make phone calls asking people about their personal information, claiming to be police, court officers or officials from other agencies.
He said police have no policy of telephoning members of the public and accusing them of wrongdoing.
So far, authorities have arrested 80 people believed to be linked to call centre scams.
The 80 including Wu, Jirawat and Jirapat are among 113 people who were wanted under arrest warrants in connection with several call centre scams.
Gen Chakthip said people who have information about these scams could call 191 or 1599.
Real government agencies do not allow their staff or agents to call members of the public in this manner, so someone who calls claiming to represent them is probably a fraud.


Re: Is C&R collecting effectively dead?
Not dead just not the same market we had 20 years ago and will never experience again. The last happy time is over, no more crates of $100.00 rifles to dig thru, today a person has to know what they want, find it and probably pay a lot more than it's really worth.
i was ccr for many years. let it laps. Once or twice a year there is something from gunbroker or other that i was interested in. But, in last few years have not seen much. Don't know if ccr still has discounts with retailers.
Black Hills Shooters Supply and Brownell's are the 2 vendors I used most that honored a C&R License.
I think it's pretty dead. I let my C&R lapse years ago.
The ammo cost/availability issue is a bigger problem for me than the initial firearm costs though. I used to like buying different types of ammo and seeing the differences as much as anything else.
Last week I ran through some of my old Bulgarian Tokarev ammo. Quality it was not (watch out for split necks!) but it was the cheapest center fire caliber around when I bought it.
Also need to break out my m39 one of these days.
I am going to buy if it is something on the bucket list.... Quality stuff will hold its value.
As with others my spending is way down but I keep my eyes and ears open for goodies now and then.
Depends how you look at it. 80 dollar a pop rifles sold by the crate with mass quantities of surplus ammo are done. Either through depletion of stock or by legislation. There are a lot of surplus firearms out there, and don't forget that C&R dictates that a firearm 50 years of age and older (post 1898, anything before that is an antique) are C&R eligible. It isn't just tied to military surplus firearms. A license is 30 bucks for 3 years, 10 bucks a year, and the dealer I transfer through is 15 a pop. As a C&R guy, two purchases over the course of three years breaks me even and is easily accomplished.

Q: Como pegar apenas o mês de uma data com Laravel 5.3? Preciso pegar apenas o mês de uma data que vem por um $request. Porém não sei como fazer:
if ($request->parcelas > 1) {
        $mes = $request->data_vencimento = date('m');
        for($i = 0; $i <= $request->parcelas; $i++) {
            if($request->data_vencimento = date('m') == 12 ){
                $mes = 1;
            }
            var_dump($request->data_vencimento = date('Y-'. $mes . '-d'));
            $mes ++;
        }
    }

A data vem no formato dd/mm/yyyy
Dessa forma ele pega da data atual. Alguém pode me ajudar?

A: Use o método DateTime::createFromFormat  para instanciar um objeto DateTime a partir da data no formato desejado.
Veja:
$vencimento = \DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y', $request->data_vencimento);

dd($vencimento->format('m'));

Ou seja, no seu caso, poderia ficar assim:
if ($request->parcelas > 1) {

    $vencimento = \DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y', $request->data_vencimento);

    $mes = $vencimento->format('m');

    // resto do código
}

A: Se você estiver enviando a data no formato yyyy-mm-dd você pode pegar assim: date('m', strtotime($request->data_vencimento)).

A: Assim também você retorna apenas o mês
date( 'm' , strtotime($request->data_vencimento));
