As concerns about congestion in Banff National Park grow, officials are exploring ways to deal with an expected influx of tourists when entry is free in 2017.
The country's busiest national park has had record increases in visitors in each of the past two years.
It's expected to get even more crowded next year when entry to national parks is free to mark the 150th anniversary of Canada's Confederation.
Banff residents, including its mayor, have blasted Parks Canada for failing to come up with solutions on how to handle the growth in visitation.
"There are logistical challenges," Dave McDonough, superintendent of Banff National Park, said in an interview.
Mayor Karen Sorensen, who first raised her concerns about traffic congestion at a town council meeting last month, said they are now making some headway on a strategic plan for 2017.
Sorenson said 2017 will be an interesting year due to the free entry, but noted they need long-term strategies.
"This isn't about visitors; it's about vehicles," she said. "The townsite is not full with people, but on peak days the townsite's main vehicle corridors are overcapacity. That's our biggest concern.
Sorensen said regional transit is working, but she would also like to see additional 'intercept' parking lots created within the town's limits to address the congestion.
"We need people to be out of their cars," she said, noting shuttle services could be offered to get people into town.
Banff conservationists said they don't think building more parking lots in town or at other high-demand locations such as Johnston Canyon or Lake Louise is the solution.
"That's been one of our biggest concerns all along," said Reg Bunyan, vice-president of Bow Valley Naturalists, who lives in Banff.
Yet, he said having parking along roadsides such as the Bow Valley Parkway and Sunshine Road creates "a wall of steel" for wildlife movements and causes pedestrian safety issues.
"BVN is a strong supporter of improved transit and trying to better inform people before they get here," said Bunyan.
McDonough said Parks Canada will work with the town to let people know about capacity in existing parking lots and provide alternate destinations for visitors.
"We're really working on that messaging side," he said.
Once visitors come into the park, he said they're looking to expand regional transit options in Banff and Lake Louise and have parking attendants at some of the popular areas.
"We'll also take action to prevent issues associated with inappropriate parking along narrow roadways," he said. "For example at Johnston's Canyon, because it's so popular, people are parking on both sides of the Bow Valley Parkway. It does create safety issues.
Parking will also be prohibited along the Sunshine Road during the ski season, starting in the fall of 2017.
McDonough said the overall strategy for 2017 is comprehensive, but it will require timely communication with visitors.
As a result, the entry gates will still be staffed and visitors without a pass will still be expected to stop.

Hollywood Suite a great investment for movie fans
By Lethbridge Herald on December 5, 2020.
LEAVE IT TO BEEBER
Al Beeber
Lethbridge Herald

One of the smartest, and cheapest, investments I made this year was keeping the Hollywood Suite channels when the free preview ended on Telus.
Actually, the channels didn't cost me a dime because I just dropped one of my other tiers and replaced it with Hollywood Suite. Coincidentally, another free preview has just started if you're interested.
Unlike the Crave movie channels, which I keep only because they're included with a package that also contains HBO, Hollywood Suite offers films that I actually watch.
While Crave certainly has newer films, they are seldom rotated and many titles are not that appealing. Yes, new films like "Us" and "Ford vs. Ferrari" have made the cut along with "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," but the gems are few and far between.
Hollywood Suite, on the other hand, has a huge selection ranging from the 1930s to the mid 2000s and its On Demand section changes frequently.
Among the classics I've watched on one Hollywood Suite channel — the 1970s one — are "Blackmail," England's first "talkie" which was directed by Alfred Hitchcock who has other films occasionally appearing on the suite including "Dial M for Murder" starring a creepy Ray Milland and "The Birds."
I've also seen "Casablanca" and "Sunset Boulevard" which features superb performances by William Holden and Gloria Swanson, whose final appearance was in "Airport 1975," which like the original, has also aired on Hollywood Suite.
Recently playing was 1949's "Samson and Delilah" with Victor Mature and Hedy Lamarr, who is the subject of a revealing documentary on another HS channel that discusses her role in the invention of a radio-guided torpedo in World War Two.
Lamarr's invention is the basis for such modern technology as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and is a must-see for history buffs and movie fans.
Mature, who preferred to consider himself a golfer, is famous for a quote after he was rejected from admission to a country club because of his profession: "I'm no actor and I've got 64 films to prove it."
The '70s channel has also shown such films as "Grease," "Saturday Night Fever" and other hits from that decade and the 1960s, among my personal favourites being "Lawrence of Arabia," "Heat of the Night" and "Up the Down Staircase."
The 1980s channel has shown such fare as "Top Gun," "Dirty Dancing," "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," and "Eddie and the Cruisers," a film with an incredible soundtrack thanks to the under-rated John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band.
Two other channels focusing on the 1990s and 2000s also offer numerous movies that are worth viewing including "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Lost in Translation."
The variety on these channels is truly amazing and there is literally something for every taste.
Some movies definitely haven't aged well such as the Matt Helm secret agent series with Dean Martin which are just a little sexist.
Others are brilliant such as "The Seven Samurai" and "Rashomon," two sub-titled Japanese classics I would highly recommend to anyone.
For the price, which is less than $10 a month for four channels plus an On Demand section, movie fans just can't do any better for their money.

Première Vision Joins Forces With CNR Holding for Istanbul DEBUT
The organiser of Première Vision has partnered with CNR Holding to launch an edition of the fashion trade show in Istanbul.
Première Vision Istanbul will be organised by a new company for the joint venture that will be 51 per cent controlled by Première Vision, and 49 per cent by CNR Holding.
The Turkish organiser and manager of the CNR Expo Istanbul exhibition centre will stage and co-organise the new event on 29-30 October.
"Indeed, with its overall economy projected to grow by four per cent by 2016, Turkey is today one of the most dynamic emerging countries, ideally situated at the crossroads of Europe and Asia," said a spokesman from Première Vision.
"It is also and above all an important player in the global fashion industry, thanks to a textile industry with a strong growth that is vertically integrated."
The parties say that it will benefit from the strengths of both entities; the experience, reputation and legitimacy of Première Vision in terms of international textile industry players, as well as its fashion network and expertise, together with the event expertise and knowledge of the Turkish market provided by CNR Holding.
Première Vision is also organised in New York, Sao Paulo, Shanghai and Moscow. The most recent edition took place in Paris in 2013 and attracted 62,932 visitors and 1,950 exhibitors.
Last year, Première Vision partnered with textile and fashion trade show organiser Eurovet for fashion shows in the French cities of Paris and Lille.

We read a lot in the media about interpretations of supposed "facts" and the search for the truth and some say we now live in a "post truth" era where 'fake news' is a much talked about phenomenon.
Well, this story about truth comes from quite a different view point. The personal rather than the political. The intimate world of relationships, rather than the public world of journalism and the press.
We have just been hearing about the problem of what now can be believed. What is authentic? And how do we discriminate? It's an issue that as a psychotherapist, I deal with quite often. I specialise in working with couples and couples of course can lie to each other. They lie about small things – such as how much that new pair of shoes cost! And they lie about big things such as whether he is still seeing his mistress or whether she is still secretly drinking. But on the whole these kinds of deliberate evasions or lies are not the stuff of what I deal with each day in my consulting room. In couple therapy, the notion of truth is something quite different.
Sigmund Freud, the progenitor of my psychoanalytic profession had quite a lot to say about truth but overall this can probably be best summed up by his simple injunction that "Being entirely honest with oneself is a good exercise!" Freud had one central rule for those who came to lie on his couch to be analysed – and this was "candour" - that thoughts should be spoken and nothing should be hidden. But of course, being entirely candid and truthful is much easier said than done. In therapy, for instance people often discover that not only have they hid the truth from others but they have also been lying to themselves -because being honest with oneself usually means facing up to some painful truths which we often try and avoid.
But to illustrate perhaps I might take you into my world with a little story from my consulting room?
This is the story of Tess and Craig. A couple I've dreamt up to illustrate my point. This isn't a real couple but it is representative of many of the couples I have seen over the years.
They have been coming to see me for some months.
They are a very attractive couple in their early forties – both of them are very successful and busy with their careers – they have two children Lucas, 10 and Cassie, 6 and they are feeling the strain.
It is a Tuesday evening and they are coming home rather late. In the taxi, Tess has cuddled up to Craig and suggested that perhaps when they get home they might watch an episode of The Crown and go to bed "early".
A note from school left on the kitchen table says that Lucas needs to practice his recorder piece for the school assembly that it is to take place this coming Friday. Craig asks Lucas if he has done so and it seems he hasn't. Craig goes off to the living room with Lucas to do the practice. Tess sits around waiting with Cassie – then she goes into Craig and Lucas and says "how long are you two going to be?" She also tells Lucas off for leaving his PE kit at school. Then she takes Cassie up to bed and reads to her. Cassie falls asleep and so soon does Tess.
Craig, finishing the recorder practice with Lucas goes upstairs with him and sees that Tess has fallen asleep on their daughter's bed. He leaves her there and goes down and makes himself something to eat and begins to watch the football.
An hour later, Tess comes downstairs. She sees that Craig has eaten and is engrossed in Match of the Day. There is an argument and Tess storms back up to bed. Craig follows. Tess cries. Neither of them can sleep.
This is the bare bones of what happened on that particular evening, but of course this is not how they told me the story.
I guess you get the picture?
How could we make sense of this?
This was not the first time I had seen them in this kind of muddle.
As they sniped and snarled at each other I thought about their childhood histories. I thought about Craig who had told me his father had always made him feel like he was second best. As a child he had felt he could never please his father – however well he did at school or at sport it never seemed enough. I wondered if he felt that he was now in this same situation with Tess? Feeling never good enough? This inner truth of Craig's distorts how he responds to Tess. He sees Tess like his father, as critical and controlling.
I had also noticed from previous sessions that when Craig feels bad about himself he tends to withdraw – he tends to retreat.
Then I thought about Tess and her childhood. She had a father whom she loved dearly but he was frequently absent. She idealised him but she felt she could never get his attention. He was always busy with work or when he was around seemed to prefer spending time with her older brothers. Tess felt rejected by him and is now primed for rejection. She expects it and when she feels disappointed she is liable to quickly become critical and angry.
These experiences intersect. They create a dynamic between the couple. A negative cycle.
So, I said to the couple that I wondered if they had misunderstood each other? That perhaps, they would have both liked to spend the evening together but something went awry between them. Perhaps, I said to Tess, that she feels, as with her father, that Craig would rather spend time with the boys (the football and with Lucas) than with her?
I said I thought Tess felt very disappointed and that she somewhere deep down she fears that Craig doesn't want to watch tv with her or have intimate time - so then, this seeming rejection makes you cross with him when you come downstairs and sadly this triggers a similar strong reaction in Craig? Tess nodded and said yes, I was upset but Craig why can't you just give me a hug or something – you just turned back to the tv when I asked if you'd left me any soup? I said "Well perhaps Craig you felt disappointed too and that you had tried your best to keep Tess happy by dealing with Lucas and leaving her to sleep and then she criticises you just like your felt your father always did and then you feel bad and withdraw"? I smiled. They smiled.
In this session I tried to put into words their psychological truths. These beliefs shape their feelings and how they relate to each other – they are the assumptions through which they perceive each other and through which they interpret the other's behaviours and reactions.
In couple therapy the aim is to seek truth – but not to find it or possess it! Rather it is a process of unfolding something between a couple which leads to discovery and these discoveries lead to understanding. Couple therapy is largely about getting to know things about yourself and your partner that have been hidden from view behind these assumptions.
So, there are two aspects to seeking truth between a couple.
The second involves facing feelings too – the feelings of one's partner and knowing about their experience.
And then can these two feelings/ these two inner truths co-exist without one obliterating or threatening one's own? Between couples this can sometimes feel very difficult and the couple then try to use the therapist as though they are judge and jury.
The couple expect the couple therapist to hear their case, weigh up the evidence and then pronounce who is right and who is wrong. Who is true and who is false?
Most couples take a little time to become curious – to become interested in how their inner truth may be not a product of some objective reality but rather a product of their own previous, usually childhood experiences.
In this little vignette we can see how Craig and Tess fail to see each other. They are trapped by their individual truths but when they give up their defences and face their inner feelings and share them with their partner they rediscover each other and a different kind of truth emerges – one that is shared – and which creates a new narrative.
The following session Tess and Craig told me they had had a good week together and several "early nights"!

Research at Rensselaer
Prof Lindhart sequences polysaccharide
Institute research group compares carbohydrate biopolymer, amino acid
Posted on October 26, 2011 in News by Ali Rodriguez, Staff Reporter
Research by Professor Robert Linhardt, constellation chair and professor of the chemistry and chemical biology department, involves sequencing the first carbohydrate biopolymer. This is an alternative name for a polysaccharide, a long chain of individual sugars such as glucose and other variations on a saccharide naturally synthesized in nature.
He compares carbohydrate polymers to amino acid biopolymers, more commonly known as protein. According to Linhardt, the distinction made is that, "their structure is complex but not as complex as carbohydrate biopolymers. Moreover, it is well known that proteins have sequence and there are convenient methods available to chemists, biochemists and biologists to determine protein sequence."
The debate, then, is whether carbohydrate biopolymers have a single structure or sequence, and, if so, what that sequence is.
Original studies are being done on the carbohydrate biopolymer drug bikunin, commonly used in Japan to treat acute pancreatitis. Linhardt reveals that his colleague, Professor Toshi Toida of Chiba University, is a world-renowned expert on this drug. In addition, his colleagues at the University of Georgia, Professor Jon Amster and Dr. Franklin Leach, have access to one of the most powerful mass spectrometers with which to study biopolymer structures. "Our group at Rensselaer, consisting of myself, Dr. Mellisa Ly—the lead author and a graduate student who recently completed her Ph.D. at Rensselaer—and Dr. Tania Laremore, are experts on carbohydrate biopolymers."
He currently has a large team of researchers working with him on this sequencing project. This team consists of approximately 15 postdoctoral fellows who hold Ph.D.s, 15 graduate students who are studying for their Ph.D.s, and 22 undergraduate students working in the lab. The research group is split into two project teams containing a mixture of students of all academic levels with a variety of fields as their primary background.
Linhardt's research group is housed entirely on the fourth floor of RPI's Center for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Studies, though his resources spread far beyond the city lines of Troy, New York. The sequencing project, in particular, works in collaboration with a group of analytical chemists at the University of Georgia and a pharmaceutical chemist at Chiba University in Japan.
The carbohydrate biopolymer sequencing project is funded by a grant from the National Institutes of Health. This grant pays for salaries, supplies and equipment, and provides overhead funds to the Institute.
The sequencing study showed—for the first time—that carbohydrate biopolymers can have a defined sequence. Specific to this project, there has been an enhancement in knowledge of the structure of bikunin using freshly developed technology that will also be applied to better understanding of other, more complicated carbohydrate biopolymers.
Linhardt mentioned that the results also "challenge biologists to explain how the cell controls the biosynthesis of carbohydrate biopolymers having sequence."
Linhardt concludes, "Like all research, we have answered a few questions and have generated many more new questions. This work serves to move the frontiers of knowledge and to train a new generation of scientists."

In early May of 2017, I was invited to speak and teach beside 9 other experts at the Unconventional Life event in Italy, a five-day business and life accelerator experience for 50 entrepreneurs from all over the world. This was a unique and exciting experience that I would love to do more of.
I spoke on the importance of prioritizing physical movement in your life, especially if you're an ambitious, high-powered entrepreneur. I spoke on everything from the role outdoor adventure has played in my own "unconventional life" journey, to the effect that exercise has on the brain and how it can amplify your creativity and productivity in your business, to building the mindset needed to overcome challenges in sport, business, and life.
I taught my "Foundations of Movement" series in the mornings to those who were interested in learning techniques to build the connection between their brain and their body, and improving their ability to consciously move their body in functional patterns to maximize effectiveness and minimize risk of injury with any sport or exercise program.
I was so impressed by every single person attending this event, all successful entrepreneurs in their own right (and all, I have no doubt, making much more money than I -- the life of a professional adventure athlete is anything but lucrative!) and all committed to upleveling all areas of their life, work, and their positive impact on the world. It was truly an inspiring group to be around and it was an honor to teach them about my area of expertise.
I went early before the event, got ahold of an old cruiser bike, and explored the small towns along the Mediterranean coast, eating delicious food, drinking wine, and trying to speak horrible Italian. I played my guitar on the balcony of my hotel overlooking the Mediterranean while gentle sea breezes blew into my room.
No kidding. It was pretty much paradise.

For full coverage of the season's first Slam, go to our tournament page.
Should the question be, "Who is going to win?" Or should it be, "How many games is the loser going to get?" That would seem to be the only suspenseful aspect of this match.
Williams has been to six Australian Open finals, and has won them all. She'll be going for her 22nd major title in 26 finals; the last time she lost one was in 2011. Kerber, on the other hand, will be playing in her first major final, at age 28. It's an experience that tends to be a little nerve-wracking, especially when you're trying to settle in while also fending off an early onslaught from the No. 1 player in the world.
Williams has won five of their six previous meetings—including the last four, all in straight sets. Kerber's lone victory did happen on a hard court, in Cincinnati in 2012, but Serena was coming off a double-gold effort at the London Olympics and didn't seem too broken up about making an early exit from Ohio. Serena will fire away as always; the question will be whether the defensive-minded Kerber can get enough balls back to sow a seed of doubt in the American's mind.
That seed can be planted; in the French Open and Wimbledon finals last year, it took Serena two tries to close out her seemingly overmatched opponents. So far in Australia, where she has yet to drop a set, she's been pretty sure of herself.
Winner: Williams

COMMENTARY: Time to attack the Las Vegas sex trade
Too many minors become ensnared in this dark world
By Kevin Malone Special to the Review-Journal
What happens in Vegas shouldn't always stay in Vegas — especially when children are likely being sold for sex every day in this city. This is an atrocity that needs to be stopped. And I've moved to Las Vegas to do it.
When I became general manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1998, I made headlines for my off-the-cuff proclamation, "There's a new sheriff in town." Now I've set my sights on policing something much bigger — saving the lives of the children caught in this dark and barbaric industry. If I can do this, it will be my work as the co-founder and president of the U.S. Institute Against Human Trafficking that will be my most enduring legacy.
As much as we may not want it to be true, Las Vegas is a hub for sex trafficking, including among minors. Arizona State University researchers and detectives from the Vice &Sex Trafficking Investigation Section found that one in five underage victims was brought to Las Vegas specifically for the purpose of sex trafficking. And between 1994 and 2016, there were 2,794 minors recovered from human sex trafficking by the Metropolitan Police Department. In 2016, Metro documented about 140 child sex trafficking victims — roughly a dozen per month.
It is important to note that these numbers include only the children who have been identified by law enforcement. There are far more victims still out there than arrests that have been made. Because of this, it is impossible to know with certainty the exact number trapped by sex trafficking today.
What we do know is that children make up the majority of this industry. According to the Federal Human Trafficking Report, nearly two-thirds of the 661 active sex trafficking cases last year involved victims under 18. Of the 190 victims of sex trafficking identified in 2014 by Metro, 64 percent were children. Many of them are younger than teenagers. Esther Rodriguez Brown, founder of The Embracing Project, which works with victims of child sex trafficking in Las Vegas, says she has helped children as young as 8 years old.
This is not a benign industry. The Arizona State Las Vegas case study revealed that not only does sex trafficking exist in Las Vegas, but it is extensive and cruel — the report showed that "violence was a pervasive theme of most sex trafficking cases, especially with underage victims."
The only real way to stop sex trafficking in this country is to get the message across to men that buying sex, however "willing" the person may seem, actually feeds the dark industry of sex trafficking — including among children. And the change has to start here in Vegas.
The culture of Las Vegas is a promiscuous one. To those who come here to drink, party and gamble, this city can feel like a place where anything is acceptable. In one survey, 16 percent of men reported having paid for sex in Las Vegas. A 2018 study commissioned by Nevada nonprofit Awaken Reno found that Nevada's commercial sex market is bigger than any other U.S. state. Researchers also found that at least 5,016 individuals were being sold for sex in an average month in Nevada.
But when a man pays for sex, he has no idea whether that "willing 21-year-old" he is buying is really 14 — or whether she's in the room because she's being forced by someone else.
These children caught up in the sex industry in Las Vegas are victims, not criminals. And I can tell you that as long as the demand for sex buying exists, traffickers will fill the supply with victims, using whatever means necessary.
Every American man should be asking himself: What if these were my kids or grandkids? We need to get the message out that buying sex is not an innocuous act. It propagates the dark industry of sex trafficking, and I'm here to be a voice for those children who are trapped in silence. And if Las Vegas leads the fight against sex trafficking, other cities will undoubtedly follow.
Kevin Malone is a former general manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers and the president and co-founder of the U.S. Institute Against Human Trafficking, a nonprofit, faith-based organization committed to ending human trafficking in America.

National Geographic war photojournalist speaks at Tarleton
by texannews · April 9, 2018
By Ashley Inge—
CTT Editor
National Geographic photojournalist Lynsey Addario spoke at Tarleton State University on Thursday, April 5, where she discussed her recent book and her encounters covering war sites.
Addario showcased her photos and explained what it was like to cover many major conflicts in various countries including Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and many others.
According to tarleton.edu, Addario is a well-practiced photographer and journalist that does work regularly for The New York Times, National Geographic and Time Magazine. She was named one of the five most influential photographers within the past 25 years by American Magazine. She was also a part of a New York Times team that was the recipient of the Pulitzer Prize in 2009 due to her work over 'Talibanistan.'
Addario started taking pictures when she was around 12-years-old. She studied international relations in Italian at the University of Wisconsin and then went to Argentina to learn Spanish. Once she was there, she started noticing the pictures in the local newspapers and realized that taking photos was a form of art and a way of telling stories.
Addario has always been interested in covering stories overseas because she wanted to learn more about other countries. She traveled to Cuba when she was working for the Associated Press. Following that, she moved to India in 2000 to be a freelancer and that's when she started working in Afghanistan.
"I didn't seek out war zones, but I was curious about situations and they happen to be in war zones, and so I would just go. I was very curious and felt very strongly about bearing witness for myself," Addario said.
Addario has traveled all over the world to tell and showcase important stories with her camera. Photo courtesy of Lynsey Addario
Addario discussed her time in Sierra Leone, a country with one of the highest rates of maternal mortality. Women have to walk seven or eight hours to get to the nearest clinic. Addario met a young girl named Mamma Seesay, who was pregnant with twins. She had delivered the first baby, but the second baby wouldn't come out. Once Seesay finally delivered the second baby, it was unresponsive. Since everyone was tending to the baby, no one had noticed that Seesay had started hemorrhaging.
"I kept saying, 'I think she's bleeding' and they were just mopping up the blood and saying, 'No, she's fine.' Eventually, I got so nervous and I asked, 'Is there a doctor in this hospital?' They said, 'Yeah, there's one doctor in the whole providence and he's in surgery.' So, I went to the surgical room. I said, 'I think there's a woman dying; maybe you should take her blood pressure.' It was 60/30. So, they picked her up and carried her to the doctor so [that] when he came out of surgery he would be there with her. And at that moment, she died. The twins did survive. The first twin actually died about six months later," Addario said.
Addario has been kidnapped twice in her life while working overseas. She went into detail about one of the times she was kidnapped while working on an assignment for The New York Times.
She was in Libya in the town of Ajdabiya with Anthony Shadid, Tyler Hicks and Stephen Farrell. They were trying to count the civility casualties. They had originally taken two cars, but Shadid and Farrell's driver dumped all their luggage on the side of the road once he heard that his brother had been shot on the front line. They ended up in one car with their driver, Mohammed.
"At that point, Mohammed had started getting calls saying Gadhafi's troops had entered the city and that it was dangerous and that we had to leave before they entered the city. As we were heading out of the city, we thought that Gadhafi's troops were behind us, but they had flanked the desert and come around and cut the road in front of us so we drove directly into one of Gadhafi's checkpoints. Immediately, they pulled my colleagues out of the car and at that moment, the rebels that we had been covering started opening fire on our checkpoint, so we were literally in a wall of bullets," Addario said.
Since Addario was the only woman, she was left in the car because the troops didn't know what to do with a woman. She knew the car wouldn't be able to protect her from the gunfire so, she climbed across the backseat and jumped out of the car. They saw a building off to the right and ran toward it.
"We got to the other side of the building and immediately were told to lie face down in the dirt. We had our arms pulled behind our backs and our ankles put together. Each one of us had a cloth washcloth put to our necks and at that moment, they were about to execute us. The commander came over and said, 'You can't execute them. They're American,' and so at that point, they tied us up, took my Nike sneakers off my feet, took the laces out, tied my wrists together behind my back and tied my ankles together. They picked me up by the shoulders and ankles, carried me and put me in the vehicle in the middle of the front line. While the battle was raging all around us, we were literally tied up and put in vehicles in the middle of the battle," Addario said.
Award winning photojournalist, Lynsey Addario, spoke about her kidnapping in Libya.
"Immediately, one of Gadhafi's troops was on me and he started tugging at my cameras. And, very stupidly because time was of the essence, I started pulling back and we were sort of having this tug of war in the middle of the street as bullets were literally flying all around us," Addario said. Photo by Ashley Inge
For the first three days, they were repeatedly tied up, beaten, punched in the face and threatened with execution. Addario was the only woman so she was also groped. They moved positions over and over and were eventually put in prison. On the third day, they were flown to Tripoli where they were told if they looked out the windows, they would be executed. After a week, they were released.
"We never found the body of our driver, Mohammed. We don't know what happened. We assumed he was executed in one of those first moments when he could have been shot in the crossfire," Addario said.
Addario has recently published her first book, entitled, "It's What I Do: A Photographer's Life of Love and War." Her book tells the story of how the relentless pursuit of truth, in virtually every major theater of war in the twenty-first century, has shaped her life.
Before Addario's presentation, Texan News spoke with Addario about her passion for photojournalism.
"I want people to be engaged with the rest of the world. I want people to learn to be interested, to look at their own position and to have some perspective," Addario said. "I think what is often lacking in America is that we don't often have perspective about the rest of the world. I grew up in Connecticut, and when I started seeing the rest of the world, I couldn't believe how most people lived. I couldn't believe that a woman couldn't decide who to fall in love with, couldn't decide who to marry, couldn't decide what jobs she wanted to do. Those are things that once you start learning about, you want other people to learn and have perspective because it's so life-changing."
Although Addario was kidnapped twice, she has no plans of stopping her career soon.
"I wish sometimes I wasn't so determined and driven, but everyone who does this job and who has dedicated his or her life to this, you can't just walk away," Addario said. "We see such incredible injustices. We're really privileged to see what's happening in real time on some of the biggest news stories that shape how we live. I think it becomes a mission. You end up just doing it because you can't not do it."

Intraprotein electron transfer (IET) from flavin mononucleotide (FMN) to heme is essential in NO synthesis by NO synthase (NOS). Our previous laser flash photolysis studies provided a direct determination of the kinetics of the FMN-heme IET in a truncated two-domain construct (oxyFMN) of murine inducible NOS (iNOS), in which only the oxygenase and FMN domains along with the calmodulin (CaM) binding site are present (Feng et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 128, 3808-3811, 2006). Here we report the kinetics of the IET in a human iNOS oxyFMN construct, a human iNOS holoenzyme, and a murine iNOS holoenzyme, using CO photolysis in comparative studies on partially reduced NOS and a NOS oxygenase construct that lacks the FMN domain. The IET rate constants for the human and murine iNOS holoenzymes are 34 +/- 5 and 35 +/- 3 s(-1), respectively, thereby providing a direct measurement of this IET between the catalytically significant redox couples of FMN and heme in the iNOS holoenzyme. These values are approximately an order of magnitude smaller than that in the corresponding iNOS oxyFMN construct, suggesting that in the holoenzyme the rate-limiting step in the IET is the conversion of the shielded electron-accepting (input) state to a new electron-donating (output) state. The fact that there is no rapid IET component in the kinetic traces obtained with the iNOS holoenzyme implies that the enzyme remains mainly in the input state. The IET rate constant value for the iNOS holoenzyme is similar to that obtained for a CaM-bound neuronal NOS holoenzyme, suggesting that CaM activation effectively removes the inhibitory effect of the unique autoregulatory insert in neuronal NOS.


Adorned with three luxurious pools and thousands of fancy fixtures, Andrey Melnichenko's crazy expensive yacht is so opulent that it would make even Caligula blush. Like Madonna and Beyonce, the "A" yacht is so spectacular that it was given a one-word moniker. The beautiful boat—which some say looks more like a submarine than a luxury liner—set Russian billionaire Melnichenko back a staggering 300 million dollars. The result is a fully customized floating paradise, complete with bath knobs that cost a reported 40 thousand dollars—each. For comparison's sake, that could also pay around two years of Harvard tuition fees.
Luckily for Melnichenko, the yacht's hefty price tag didn't make much of a dent in his 11.5 billion dollar net worth. With nearly limitless funds, fancy additions like a handy touch screen navigation, bomb-proof glass and a button-operated rotating bed became an easy reality. Since news of "A" hit the internet, the expensive yacht has been the source of much discussion, with maritime enthusiasts both loving and hating the modern design.
Only a select few individuals have been given access to the expensive yacht's master bedroom, which is protected by a fingerprint scanner. After all, the one thing that the family values more than material displays of wealth is ensuring that it stays with them. A favorite of designer Philippe Starck, crystal, glass and mirrors are found throughout the luxury boat, as seen in one living room cabinet that opens up into a glittering full-service bar. No luxury was spared when designing this expensive yacht; in fact, one room's walls are covered by white sting-ray hides, and yet another by hand-stitched calf's leather.
At 394 feet long, "A" comprises the length of a football field and basketball court placed end to end. Globally renowned designer and architect Philippe Starck designed the yacht, which features a 60-thousand-dollar hand-carved banister, along with a nifty helipad for good measure. Over the course of his life, Starck has designed and built thousands of projects spanning from furniture and vehicles to homes. His creations all center around one key philosophy, that each one should make life better for as many people as possible.


Situated within the rainforest of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil this modern home has views of the near by flowing river. The architect designed this 753 sq ft cabin with two giant stone walls, steel, glass and wood.
The cabin is slightly elevated off the ground which protects the home from the humid and rainy environment. The front wall is all glass with sliding door to a covered patio.
Centrally located in the home is the bathroom and closet which separates the kitchen/living/dining area from the sleeping space.

Absolutely beautiful. The stone walls reminiscent of ancient Incan temples ties the dwelling to the history of place. The glass lets in the beauty of the natural surroundings while the modern design provides the safety of home. Love it!
the kitchen space. I probably would design with fewer square footage.
Cannot image the price, but fun to imagine.
I like the floor plan and the modern decor. The windows are wonderful. If the location was such that you did not want so much exposure I think half walls and the top being windowed would be nice for the sleeping area. I like stone walls so this is attractive to me but if you didn't like the stone certainly other building materials could be used.
I adore this house! I wonder though…looks like a wood burning chiminea in the kitchen. Is it? and if so, how does the smoke get out? I don't see a flu/chiminea. I also don't see a refrigator or anything like a closet. Perhaps there is closet space inside the bathroom. It would be nice to see that. Seems more like a short getaway retreat than a livingspace for those reasons. Still…it is so beautiful!
Laura – see picture #7 (I believe) and you'll see that the closet space (which is really quite ample) is behind the bamboo doors.
my guess is the "chiminea" is like a pizza oven and it vents thru the stone to the back.
Very nice. It's funny that this is considered modern these days, this is SO 70s. My fiancé and I built our tiny house in Waimea on the Big Island and have been living in it for about a year now and couldn't be happier. Just got a nice Canon so will send some pics soon!
We'd love to see pics and possibly do a blog post for your new home. Email me here: [email protected] 🙂 Talk soon!
Too exposed. I'd need some privacy to feel safe or secure.
It's pretty and all, but I look at all those open-walled spaces and can't help but think of all the wildlife that might be happy to join you in your cozy rainforest retreat….bugs and skinks and snakes and goodness knows what else!
I would screen in the covered patio against insects, birds, and other wildlife that would want to share the space—that would be easy to do, and I would put in bamboo shades that unroll from the ceiling to floor for privacy. Otherwise, I love this house.
…if it was built somewhere else but the rainforest.
Add some screens to keep mosquito out and blinds if you like to have privacy – that's it.
Ditto, with solar panels for all power, and a little more privacy, please. Pretty is as pretty does.
Well said, Steve, well said.
All I can think is all those bugs and snakes crawling around this place…not for me!
Perfect! It looks like it grew right out of its surroundings.
When you add the "modern" look to tiny houses, or just about anything for that matter, the place becomes very sterile and looks like an office environment. After a hard day at work at the "office", who wants to come home to that again? That would be like punishment, not comfort.


Have you ever found yourself rolling your eyes when someone gives you advice? A teacher tells you to pay attention and listen more carefully. A family member criticizes a characteristic about you that he or she wishes you'd change. A well-meaning friend shares advice that hits your heart hard.
If you answered yes, then you are in good company with followers of Jesus in the early church. Sometimes the best words for us to hear are not music to our ears. Sometimes the truth hurts.
When John wrote what might have been received as a tough word to this community, he wanted to make sure they didn't take his exhortations the wrong way. In case they forgot, John wanted these folks to know that they were loved. They were a part of God's family. They were welcomed unconditionally before God because of the life and death and resurrection of Jesus. And because of this, no eye-rolling avoidance of the truth was needed. Their job, just like our job today, was to hear God's word and believe.
As I've heard your word for me today, help me to believe. Remind me of your love when I forget. Amen.

Updated June 8, 2010: Greg Berlanti, Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim will write a treatment focusing on Barry Allen, based on Geoff Johns' work on the character.
In December 2004, Warner Bros. officially announced that David S. Goyer (Blade, Batman Begins) would write and likely direct a Flash movie. By February 2007, Goyer had been replaced by Shawn Levy.
A few rumors popped up in early 2009. IESB reported that Dan Mazeau (Jonny Quest) was writing a new script for the film, and casting rumors placed Neil Patrick Harris and Scott Porter in the title role.
The first solid news in a year came in July 2009, when The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Warner Bros. had quietly hired Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison and Marv Wolfman as consultants for its DC movies. Geoff Johns has written a treatment for The Flash and will be a producer on the movie, and Dan Mazeau was confirmed to be writing a script from Johns' treatment.
A year later, in June 2010, Warner Bros. hired Greg Berlanti, Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim to write a new treatment. They also confirmed that the movie will focus on Barry Allen, based on Geoff Johns' work on the character.
The rest of this page deals with the film that Goyer would have made.
Early reports suggested that it would focus on Jay Garrick, but others suggested it would be about Wally West. Blade: Trinity co-star Ryan Reynolds was rumored early on as a likely lead, and it has since been confirmed [archive.org] that Goyer would like to cast him in the title role. News in June 2005 has again indicated that the movie will focus on "aspiring athlete Jay Garrick," [archive.org] but Goyer said in an interview that "both Barry Allen and Wally West [archive.org] will be in this movie." By May 2006, the story was that it would involve Wally gaining his powers while touring Barry's lab [archive.org].
Goyer had finished the script by May 2006, and was revising it (Moviehole, May 4, 2006 [archive.org]).
I am sad to say that my version of The Flash is dead at WB. The God's honest truth is that WB and myself simply couldn't agree on what would make for a cool Flash film. I'm quite proud of the screenplay I turned it. I threw my heart into it and I genuinely think it would've been the basis of a ground-breaking film. But as of now, the studio is heading off in a completely different direction. I expect you'll hear of some new developments on that front shortly.
No doubt he was referring to the Justice League news that began surfacing later that year.

In a glittering award ceremony at Manchester's Hilton Hotel on Sunday 4th November, Melissa Timperley Salons was awarded the National Hairdressing Federation's (NHF) Best Client Experience Award.
The NHF's Business Awards celebrate the success of outstanding professionals in the UK's hair and beauty industry. Melissa Timperley Salon's approach to client experience was originally inspired by a 300-person survey of what clients wanted from a visit to a Salon. The findings led the team to develop a 12 point commitment to an Extraordinary Client Experience. It has been at the heart of the team's approach since the Salon opened. You can see a video of the experience in action here.
This award is the latest in a series of award wins the Salon has gained since it opened just under 2 years ago. These include Best New Salon, Best Independent Salon, Best Male Fashion Look and Talk of Manchester Best Newcomer Business Award. Only recently they also won the award for Best Marketing at HJ's British Hairdressing Business Awards – another highly renowned Award Ceremony in the UK's hairdressing industry.
Why not try the award-winning experience for yourself?

Navy Lakehurst Historical Society: Preserving the rich airship history in America
Written by Josh Cypher in Military Patches
"Oh, the humanity!" – Herb Morrison, a radio announcer May 6, 1937
This is what he said when he came to record a voice over for the landing of the largest dirigible airship ever built, Hindenburg. Little did the people know that it will burst into flames and turned the fabric cover into ashes in just 34 seconds leaving the metal skeleton on the ground, collapsed, and filled the sky of Lakehurst, New Jersey with smoke and fire. 62 passengers and crew members had survived the explosion; some jumped several feet to safety, while others were burned. The Hindenburg was supposed to lead the new age of airship travel, but the crash brought it to an end.
Hindenburg Disaster is just one of the several remembered events in the history of United States. This event is commemorated by the all-volunteer Navy Lakehurst Historical Society (NLSH) to remember the men and women who have made ultimate sacrifice in the military and also the 36 deaths during the disaster.
Lakehurst was known as "The Airship Capital of the World"
Lakehurst is not only where the Hindenburg disaster had taken place, but also the town became a station for other rigid airships such as the Shenandoah, Los Angeles, and Akron. Naval Air Station Lakehurst has become the center for research into aircraft ejection seats and carrier aircraft launch and recovery techniques. The mission continues today as the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in cooperation with NLHS.
Established in 1975, the NLHS is dedicated to preserving the rich history and distinguished heritage of Naval Air Station Lakehurst. They intend to increase the public awareness of one of US Navy's first air stations through exhibits, guided tours, and displays—including photographs, models of aircrafts, ships, military equipment, clothing, patches, and artifacts—at libraries and museums. The Navy Lakehurst Historical Society also believes that an excellent way to love history is to impart learning to students around the world. There is an interactive guide for Grade 5 students which provides background information, materials, and resources that can be utilized to aid in learning experience which was rolled out during the Hindenburg weekend last year.
What a great way to spend the weekend and see the history come alive! If you happen to be in Lakehurst, make sure to join the walking tour which includes the Hindenburg Crash Site, The Navy Lakehurst Heritage Center, The Ready Room, The POW-MIA Room, and the Historic Hangar One. Tour begins at the Cathedral of the Air. Two-week prior reservation is required for all tours. For more information, visit the society's official website – www.nlhs.com or call (732)-818-7520.

One thought on "Navy Lakehurst Historical Society: Preserving the rich airship history in America"
Paul Neals says:
I was stationed there 1964-1965 at the station hospital. Walked around area of crash several times. Hard to describe the feeling that comes over a person while visiting the site. Walking around the hangers for the derigibles with railroad engines needed to open them was amazing,
Never saw, but was told it actually rains inside the hangers.
Would be an excellent opportunity for all to see!
