« Scientology once again confirms our estimates for its tiny size
New in court docs: Scientology bashes victims' rights group, trashes Mike Rinder »
STUNNING LEAK: Scientology's entire asset portfolio the year it got IRS church status
By Tony Ortega | October 3, 2020
[David Miscavige in 1993, and the War Is Over announcement that October]
It's one of those jaw-dropping moments in a jaw-dropping film.
In Alex Gibney's 2015 HBO documentary Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief, Marty Rathbun, Scientology's former top enforcer, explains the stark situation facing the organization and its ultimate leader, David Miscavige, at the end of the 1980s, after decades of the church refusing to pay any taxes and engaging in a war with the IRS.
"We were facing a tax bill of over a billion dollars, and the total assets, liquid and material, and property of the church was about a quarter of that at the time," Rathbun says. "And so just from a real simple accounting basis, it was life and death. If we don't get exemption, we die. If we get it, we survive."
Just two years after that documentary aired, Rathbun made a shocking about-face. Instead of continuing to criticize Miscavige, Rathbun began putting out videos attacking the church's critics, and Scientology itself began using those videos in its advertising campaigns. In particular, Rathbun went after Going Clear, and denied that he'd ever implied that Scientology owed a billion dollars to the IRS.
But it's right there on tape, and you can watch it yourself. Rathbun says it very clearly. Scientology was desperate to get a deal worked out with the IRS because it owed a billion dollars and it only had about a fourth of that, or $250 million, in assets.
Now, the Underground Bunker has obtained a stunning document dated June 30, 1993, just a few months before the Church of Scientology finally obtained its objective of tax exempt status.
The document lists Scientology's total assets in bonds, equities, and cash as of that date.
The total is $251 million, almost exactly what Rathbun said in Going Clear.
We can't reveal anything about our source other than to say we believe this is an authentic document from inside the church. It not only confirms the amount that Rathbun cited, but it also breaks out and names the bonds and equities and amounts that Scientology was invested in at that time.
It's a goldmine for Scientology historians.
We know you're going to want to pore through it in detail. Who knew, for example, that Scientology held about a million dollars in shares of both Coca-Cola and McDonald's in 1993? This is fun stuff.
Have at it, and let us know what stands out for you…
Scientology got tax exemption in October 1993 after two years of negotiations. In that process, Scientology had turned over a lot of information to the IRS. But after the celebration that the war was over and tax exemption had been won, Scientology was secretive about how much it was worth.
However, in 2006, there was a change in the law, and a few years later we realized that Scientology was quietly putting down information about its assets in tax returns it had to submit regarding "other business income." The result was that by 2011, just two of the organization's top entities were worth a combined $1.2 billion.
Tax exemption has been very good for Scientology's portfolio.
"The Roman Catholic Church, somewhere along the line, through watching the dramatizations of people, picked up some little fragments of R6, and they make it look like it's continued forward into present time. But the truth of the matter is that the loyal officers were not all killed. Xenu missed. And they were not all killed. Not by a long way…Somebody, somewhere on this planet, back about 600 BC, found some piece of R6. And I don t know how they found it, either by watching mad men or something, but since that time they have used it and it became what is known as Christianity. The man on the cross. There was no Christ, but the man on the cross is shown as every man so of course each person seeing a crucified man has an immediate feeling of sympathy for this man. Therefore you get many PCs who say they are Christ." — L. Ron Hubbard, October 3, 1968
"Personally I think that there has been a coordinated effort by certain factions in the Government for reasons of 'National Security' to invalidate the state of OT at least publicly and that the Church currently is playing along in this game. It is my opinion that the success of the Remote Viewing Project scared the bejesus out of them and now there is an ongoing effort to put the Genie back in the bottle. But that is my opinion and I can't prove it. Though what I can pretty much prove is that the Church has now veered away from those abilities covered in the earlier lectures on the State of OT. For instance the original OT IV if run correctly will produce a Thetan Exterior, V and VI give the thetan familiarity with operating outside of the body. Yet these levels are no longer part of the Bridge. Why is that? There is no HCOB or Policy that canceled those levels yet they are no longer considered part of Church doctrine. Omitted levels is a definite out point. One big enough to drive not just a Sherman Tank but a few very large semis through."
1998: Kristi Wachter reported a picket in Palo Alto, California. "I was revenge-picketed today. I returned home to find a lone picketer in front of my apartment building. I snapped a few pictures, then joined him on the sidewalk. I introduced myself, and he said his name was Ben. I asked him what made him think I was a religious bigot, and he said I was acting like one. He said that I didn't know anything about Scientology and that I hadn't read any books. I told him that I DID know a fair amount about Scientology and that I HAD read some books – that I'd read a bunch of the tech and admin manuals and that I'd read Dianetics cover to cover. He said 'You have not!', but I assured him that I had. Indeed, I told him, I had my copy in my backpack. He mentioned that he'd been a Scientologist for, I believe, 22 years. He called me a 'silly girl' and a couple of times made sarcastic comments about how I thought I was being 'so noble.' Ben checked his watch a few times and, as soon as he'd put in his time, he took off. I held out my hand, but he declined to shake it. He said he was sure he'd be back; I wished him a good weekend."
"I was just watching a documentary about ISIS, and they put out a monthly magazine and annual report (400 pages long) that is way more slick and professional than anything I've seen by the unchurch of Lientology. Even the crazy jihadis have their act more together than Scientology."

History of the U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur
The U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur Championship originated in 1987 as a result of a need determined by an ad hoc committee headed by Dena Nowotny, a member of the USGA Women's Committee.
The Women's Mid-Amateur, the USGA's 13th championship, was created to provide a national competitive arena for amateurs age 25 and older.
By 1987, it had become increasingly difficult for female amateur golfers beyond college to compete equitably with their collegiate counterparts, for whom golf was nearly a full-time vocation.
One must go back to 1973 and Carol Semple Thompson to find the last career amateur to win the U.S. Women's Amateur.
As with any new championship, there was initial concern with the level of entries. In this case, women amateurs responded with enthusiasm. The first championship attracted 320 entries, only 22 fewer than the number that had entered the 1987 Women's Amateur a few weeks earlier.
The starting field of 130 players was determined by sectional qualifying. The first Women's Mid-Amateur was played at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Okla. The inaugural championship was won by Cindy Scholefield, 27, of Malibu, Calif.
The Women's Mid-Amateur has been the setting for a number of noteworthy finals. In 1989, Robin Weiss, of Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., defeated Page Marsh Lea on the 22nd hole. In 1990, despite the tremendous pressure of competing on her home course as a crowd favorite, Carol Semple Thompson, 41, of Sewickley, Pa., defeated Page Marsh Lea, 3 and 1, at the Allegheny Country Club, where Semple Thompson had learned the game.
Sarah LeBrun Ingram, of Nashville, Tenn., in 1994 became the first player to capture consecutive Women's Mid-Amateur championships. She had previously won in 1991 and 1993.
In 2000, Ellen Port, 39, of St. Louis, Mo., joined Ingram as a three-time Women's Mid-Amateur Championship by winning at Big Canyon Country Club in Newport Beach, Calif. She also won the title in 1995 and 1996.
Then in 2011, Port, 50, claimed her record fourth Women's Mid-Amateur title at Bayville Golf Club in Virginia Beach, Va.
A year later, Meghan (Bolger) Stasi, of Oakland Park, Fla., joined Port as a four-time champion when she won at Briggs Ranch Golf Club in San Antonio. Stasi's first triumph came in 2006 at Old Waverly Golf Club in West Point, Miss., and she won a year later at Desert Forest Golf Club in Carefree, Ariz., to join Ingram and Port as the only players to successfully defend their titles.
In 2013 at Biltmore Forest Country Club in Asheville, N.C., Julia Potter, of Granger, Ind., became the first female left-handed champion in history, but her bid for a second title in 2014 was thwarted by Margaret Shirley, of Atlanta, Ga., in a rematch of the 2013 final.

Entry of Wilson Todd gains naming-rights partner for 2022 campaign.
Leading heavy equipment specialists Terrafirma Equipment Sales has increased its support with Honda Racing, committing as title sponsor of Wilson Todd's MX2 class entry.
The brand has been supporting Honda Racing since 2017, this added sponsorship to the team in line with Todd's signing for 2022 and the partnership will feature limited edition graphics throughout the year on his factory CRF250R.
"Darren [Assink] has become more than a sponsor, he is a trusted friend, he is also an avid fan of the sport and Honda – he has a collection of more than 10 Honda's including Justin Brayton's championship-winning 450," said Honda Racing team owner Yarrive Konsky.
In relation to the ongoing partnership with Konky's Honda Racing outfit, Terrafirma Equipment Sales managing director Darren Assink added: "Terrafirma Equipment Sales has experienced significant success over the past five years. People in motorsport use our products in their businesses and on their properties.
"Since aligning with Honda Racing and Supercar teams through Yarrive we have achieved tangible success. I am very patriotic, our family love motocross, I used to race motocross, superbikes and supercross. I also appreciate what the Anzacs did for Australia, we have the opportunities we have because of them.
"We will reveal a range of different graphics this year… We will do a limited edition set to support the Anzacs and we will do a limited edition set to support Breast cancer. We will also give away a CRF110 later next year to raise awareness and money for breast cancer".
Todd's signing with the team marks his return to domestic racing after a two-year stint in the MX2 World Championship. The North-Queenslander will be looking to make add a third Australian MX2 title to his collection, previously winning the crown in 2018 and 2019.

Textile whitening additives are used in laundry formulations to enhance the whiteness of the washed textile. The textile material, like cotton, wool, linen, silk or synthetics like mainly polyamide, polyester or polyacrylonitrile, are not completely white, rather they can show a yellowing after certain washing cycles. Premium laundry formulations often contain optical brighteners to cross-fade this simply by a fluorescening effect.
Tinopal® grades from BTC are optical brighteners for laundry detergent formulations. They are used in home care formulations and in On Premise Laundry (OPL) formulations.
Tinopal® grades belong to the group of Fluorescent Whitening Agents - FWA. FWA products absorb UV-light and re-emit it as visible blue fluorescence light. Thus the whiteness of a substrate is increased and the yellowish appearance of natural fibres is compensated.
Brilliant white effects on textiles.
Available for liquid laundry formulations and for classical solid (powder) laundry formulations.
Easy to formulate in all kind of detergent formulations.
Dosage level is between 0, 5 and 3.5% depending on the formulation type.
High chemical stability even under harsh conditions which means high alkalinity and the presence of bleach even with chlorine.
Used in laundry formulations with the aim to enhance the whiteness of wash textiles.
Grades are either liquid in form of a suspension or solid with a uniform particle distribution.
Equally suitable for incorporation in conventional or compact washing powders, liquid detergents, and industrial detergents, detergent bars, washing cream, after rinse softener, soaps and boosters.

Q: Riemann-Stieltjes integration with floor function Evaluate $$\int_{\frac{2}{3}}^8 f(x)d\alpha(x)$$ where $\alpha$ is continuous and $f$ is the floor function, that is $f(x)$ is the greatest integer less than or equal $x$.

A: Hint:
Write $\int_{\frac{2}{3}}^8 \lfloor x \rfloor d \alpha(x) = \int_{\frac{2}{3}}^1 \lfloor x \rfloor d \alpha(x)+ \sum_{k=1}^7 \int_{k}^{k+1} \lfloor x \rfloor d \alpha(x) $.
What value does $\lfloor x \rfloor$ take inside these integrals?

A: $$I = \int_{2/3}^8 \lfloor x\rfloor d \alpha(x) = \int_{2/3}^1 \lfloor x\rfloor d \alpha(x) + \sum_{k=1}^7 \int_k^{k+1} \lfloor x\rfloor d \alpha(x) = 0 + \sum_{k=1}^7 \int_k^{k+1} \lfloor x\rfloor d \alpha(x)$$
Now $\lfloor x \rfloor = k$ for $x \in [k,k+1)$. Hence, we get that
\begin{align}
I & = \sum_{k=1}^7 k (\alpha(k+1) - \alpha(k))\\
& = \sum_{k=2}^7 \alpha(k) (-k + k-1) - \alpha(1) + 7 \alpha(8)\\
& = 7 \alpha(8) - \sum_{k=1}^7 \alpha(k)
\end{align}

EDIT
To make the last step clear, let us explicitly write it out and see.
\begin{align}
I & = \sum_{k=1}^7 k (\alpha(k+1) - \alpha(k))\\
& = 1 \cdot(\alpha(2) - \alpha(1)) + 2 \cdot(\alpha(3) - \alpha(2)) + 3 \cdot(\alpha(3) - \alpha(2)) + 4 \cdot(\alpha(4) - \alpha(3))\\
& + 5 \cdot(\alpha(5) - \alpha(4)) + 6 \cdot(\alpha(6) - \alpha(5)) + 7 \cdot(\alpha(8) - \alpha(7))\\
& = -\alpha(1) + (1-2) \cdot \alpha(2) + (2-3) \cdot \alpha(3) + (3-4) \cdot \alpha(4) + (4-5) \cdot \alpha(5) + (5-6) \cdot \alpha(6)\\
& + (6-7) \cdot \alpha(7) + 8 \cdot \alpha(8)\\
& = -\alpha(1) - \alpha(2) - \alpha(3) - \alpha(4) - \alpha(5) - \alpha(6) - \alpha(7) + 7 \alpha(8)\\
& = 7 \alpha(8) - \sum_{k=1}^7 \alpha(k)
\end{align}


Thecruise ship arrived the Panama Canal at 5:00 on 23 Jan. It entered the canal from Limon Bay in the Atlantic Ocean and Southbound toenter the Gatun Locks at 6.30 am, and southbound out of Gatun Locks at 8:15. It anchored Gaton lake at 9:00 AM.
According to Panamanian regulations tourists onshore must participate the tour organized by the Cruise, and back to Cruise which would start to return to Colon at 1:00 PM northbound Gaton Lake and locks. Tourists can also stay aboard.
We decided to attend the tour from Gatun lake to Capital city Panama historic area Casco Viejo and Miroflores locks oberservation Center.
Colón is a Panamanian city and sea port beside the Caribbean Sea, lying near the Atlantic entrance to the Panama Canal. It is the capital of Panama's Colón Province and has traditionally been known as Panama's second city. Originally, it was located entirely on Manzanillo Island, surrounded by Limon Bay, Manzanillo Bay and the Folks River, but, since the disestablishment of the Panama Canal Zone, the city's limits have been redefined to include Fort Gulick, a former U.S. Army base, as well the former Canal Zone towns of Cristobal, Margarita and Coco Solo.
Waiting for Cruise passing Gatun Locks.
Alfred got up early too.
Gatun Lake is a large artificial lake to the south of Colón, Panama. It forms a major part of the Panama Canal, carrying ships for 33 km (21 mi) of their transit across the Isthmus of Panama.
After we were on the bus, the tourist Guide introduced history of Panama Canal and the buildings all the way.
I watched a fild "one man, one idea, one project" on the cruise the day before the tour.
it helped to understand the stories told by the guide.
Biomuseo is located on the Amador Causeway in Panama City, Panama. It was designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry. This is Gehry's first design for Latin America. The design was conceived in 1999 and the museum opened in October 2014.
The Biomuseo highlights Panama's natural and cultural history, emphasizing the role of humans in the XXI century. Its galleries tell the story of how the rise of the isthmus of Panama changed the world.
After one and half hours driving, we stopped at Amordanlake for 45 minutes.
The following pictures taken by Ingrid and a friendly stranger.
Board on the bus, along the lake.
Arrived historical area Casco Viejo which is a part of Capital.
Panama city was founded on August 15, 1519 and it lasted one hundred and fifty-two years. In January 1671, the Governor Juan Perez de Guzman had it set on fire, before the attack and looting by the pirate Henry Morgan. In 1672, Antonio Fernández de Córdoba initiated the construction of a new city, which was then founded on January 21, 1673. This city was built on a peninsula completely isolated by the sea and a defensive system of walls.Today this place preserves the first institutions and buildings of the modern city of Panama. It is known as Casco Viejo (Spanish for Old Town).
Opposit of the building were residencial housing.
At the entrance of the ancient city, a large number of people gathered to protest the demolition, without anger expression. Apolice officer looked at them.The tour guide said the demolition was a big social issueas government planed to make the ancient city a perfect tourist area and asked local residents to move to Metro. Local people did not accpet it. It appeared that there were demolition contradictions in developing countries all over the world.
New city was similar as New York and Shanghai.
Photos below taken by Ingrid at the historical area.
As it was a very hot day. I could not remember all the introduction by the Guide. We went into a hotel (left) hall to have some air condition. The right side were the housing waiting for demolition.
We boarded on the bus again.
I stayed in the cinima for air condition. Then on the bus to Colon harbor.
Thus, the total length of the canal is 77.1 km.

Hungary - Coat of Arms
In 1849-1867 Hungary was under direct Austrian controll. Didn't use Hungarian symbols. In 1867-1882 used the small Coat of Arms (on flag) and a middle Coat of Arms (small Coat of Arms in the heart of the shield around the Dalmatian, Croatian, Sclavonian and Transylvanian Coat of Arms). 1882-1915 used the small Coat of Arms (on flag) and a middle Coat of Arms (small Coat of Arms in the heart of the shield around the Dalmatian, Croatian, Sclavonian and Transylvanian Coat of Arms and Fiume's Coat of Arms too!!!). In 1915-1918 used the small Coat of Arms (on flag), and the Middle Coat of Arms (small Coat of Arms in the heart of the shield around the Dalmatian, Croatian, Sclavonian and Transylvanian Fiume's Coat of Arms and Bosnian Coat of Arms too - on flag. Between November 1918 and March 1919 used only the small Coat of Arms without crown (Kossuth Coat of Arms). Between March1919 - August 1919 didn't used Coat of Arms, but red star. Between August 1919 and 1920 used the small Coat of Arms with or without crown. In 1920-1946 used the small Coat of Arms with angels or olive branches on flag. All flags were the red-white-green tricolour (Ratio of the Hungarian tricolour is 2:1 from 1848 not 3:2).
Countries on the used Coat of Arms:
1848-1849 small Hungary
1848-1849 middle Hungary, Dalmatia, Croatia, Slavonia, Transylvania
1849-1860 no Coat of Arms
1882-1915 middle Hungary, Dalmatia, Croatia, Slavonia, Transylvania, Fiume
1915-1918 middle Hungary, Dalmatia, Croatia, Slavonia, Transylvania, Fiume, Bosnia
1918-1919 small Hungary (without crown)
1919 red star
1938-1944 middle Hungary, Dalmatia, Croatia, Slavonia, Transylvania, Fiume, Bosnia (only on war flags)

Hungarian Soviet Republic, 21.3.1919 - 7.1919 or Hungarian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (in Hungarian: Magyar Tanácsköztársaság or Magyar Szocialista Szövetségi Tanácsköztársaság) . The leaders of this communist state wanted the union of Soviet Russia.
In March 1919 Karoly give the power to the soviet of Budapest, but in May a contrarevolutionary government was created in Arad. I believe that in this moment the idea was that only a single workers and peasants state should exist but only in the future. In a short war Hungarian troops took Slovakia and created a short lived soviet republic (one more republic instead of union with the soviet Russia). After an war against Romania,the romanians occupied Budapest (4 August 1919) and the soviet republic ended. Peidl (the succesor of bela Kun) diminshed and no succesor could be found. Then the archiduc Joseph enter into Budapest and self proclaimed himself as a king (with the help of romanian troops). Under allied pressure Joseph left Budapest in September. His government collapsed on 14 November 1919 when the romanian troops left the country. Nationalist troops took Budapest on 14 November 1919 (I believe that they came from the contrarevoltionary government of Arad). Regency was proclaimed (1920 adopted official national flag).
Jaume Olle, 10 November 2000
All picture found by me show the tricolour as an official flag of the contrarrevolutionary government. The Revolutionary Governing Soviet had resigned on 31.07.1919. The government of Peidl (01.08.1919-06.08.1919) made an order as No. 1/1919 Order about the name of the country: People's Republic of Hungary. I think that this order readopted the tricolour.archiduc Joseph self proclaimed himself as only a regent and not as a king. I think he used the tricolour with the smaller CoA. He resigned on 23.08.1919. The rumanian troops went out of Budapest and Tiszántúl (territory between the Danube and Tisza Rivers) on 14-16.11.1919. The Commander-in-Chief of the government of Arad (later, 21.07.1919 on Szeged), Miklós Horthy took the oath as the regent and his government on 15.08.1919. The contrarevoltionary government of Szeged resigned on 19.08.1919. On 16.11.1919 Commander-in-Chief Miklós Horthy took Budapest. The kingdom was proclaimed (without king) on 27.02.1920 and readopted its symbols: tricolour with a smaller CoA and the smaller CoA

Military Flag
Text over symbol: VILÁG PROLETÁRJAI EGYESÜLJETEK (Workers of the World, unite), used by Bela Kun's Army in 1919, now in "Orszagos Hadtörténeti Muzeum, Budapest" (State Military History Miseum). Information provided by Jaume Ollé.

Text above the symbol: CSEPELI VÖRÖS EZRED 2. zászlóalj (The Red Regiment of Csepel 2th battalion; Csepel was a village in 1919).
National Flag 1919-1944
Hungary 1941: The ensign is a red white green horizontal tricolor with the state arms on the white stripe. The arms are hard to see in my copy and very complex. I think they are per-quarter with another shield in the center that is the one described earlier. Surrounding the shield are on the right side an oak branch for glory, and on the left side an olive branch for peace. It is topped by the crown of St Stephen, first Hungarian king, the crown with the bent cross on top.
Nathan Augustine, 5 December 1995
What about inter-war and WWII Hungary, which was technically a monarchless monarchy?
They retained the red-white-green flag with the traditional arms topped with the Crown of St. Stephen - i.e. the same as under the Habsburgs.
Roy Stilling, 9 April 1996
Technically, Hungary was a Regency under Admiral Horthy. So not only was it a monarchless monarchy, its head of state was an Admiral without a coastline. Hungary was forbidden by the victors of WW1 from putting a Habsburg on the throne, but the royalist constitution was restored after Horthy defeated the Communist junta of Bela Kun in 1919. When in 1921 (?) there were two attempts (March, October) by the Habsburg heir to return to Budapest there was armed resistance from Horthy's forces, who sent the Habsburgs packing. Horthy's official title as Regent was "His Serene Highness", I believe, which seems an inappropriate title for so volatile an individual (although to be fair, steering a middle course between Germany and Russia in the 1930s would probably have been beyond any politician in Central Europe.)
When the Germans took over Hungary in 1944 and imposed a pro-Nazi regime, Horthy was arrested. He survived the war and lived in exile (in Portugal, I think) living long enough to see the 1956 uprising.
Anyway, in flag terms, Hungary used its red-white-green tricolour, with the state flag having the royal coat of arms on the white, the same arms restored after the Communist regime fell in 1989 — even though Hungary is now a republic!
Stuart Notholt, 9 April 1996

National Flag, serving as State and War Flag - Flag with CoA in the middle, basically the same as currently used.
National flag without the Coat of Arms - the tricolour.
Merchant Flag (Handelsflagge.

Yesterday I was in the Nemzeti Múzeum (HNM) and take photo of the country flag of the 1930s.
I found picture of "H" on tricolor in the 'RUBICON' Historical Review 2001/1-2 page 19. I don't know when and where this photo was made , maybe in 1919-1920. I don't have any information about the flag.
Istvan Molnar, 26 Febuary 2001
What would you say - is that the initial H inscribed or some other letter? Maybe AL? It surely looks like a standard that could have been set up for Horthy, or maybe for some unit (personal guard? maybe L there for "something Legion"?) Just guesses.
As for where it is taken, my only guess is the Parliament building in Budapest - but could be anything else. Regarding the time - I wouldn't know - if you ask me it could be anytime in 20th cetury before the end of WWII.
Željko Heimer, 27 Febuary 2001
Well, this flag has a border of wolf-teeth, the ones pointing downwards alternating red and green (I think the lighter ones are the red ones), and the ones pointing upwards white. Within this border is the Hungarian flag itself, red over white over green. In the centre of the flag is a very nice, cursive 'H'. Considering the flag's position in the photograph, I'm inclined to say that it is Regent Admiral Horthy's personal flag, before it was altered to the one that is in Znamierowski, and more renowned: white, with red and green wolfteeth, with the state Coat of Arms in the centre.
Georges G. Kovari, 26 April 2001
I think that this is not a personal flag of Horthy. It seems to be the flag adopted by Szalasi after his coup d'etat on October 16, 1944. The letter "H" does not mean "Horthy", it means "Hungarism", the ideology of Szalasi's Hungarist Movement.
Ivan Marinov, 26 April 2001
would'n't it be strange for a magyar állampolgár (hungarian citizen) to use a H like Hungarism rather than an M like "Magyariszmus" (or whatever it may be in hungarian), knowing the importance of using magyar szavakat (hungarian words) in the magyar nyelv (hungarian language) ?
Olivier Touzeau, 26 April 2001
This word "Magyarizmus" is NOT possible!!!
"Hungarizmus" IS. - this was an political trend of the extreme right before the WWII.
Istvan Molnar, 26 April 2001
Not only that. The official language of Hungary until 1844 was Latin, not Hungarian. And in Latin Hungary is "Hungaria".
Szalasi, a former military officer, unified all Hungarian extreme right political parties under the name "Arrow Cross Party - Hungarist Movement". The main hobby of Szalasi was creating useless new words. One of such words was "hungarizmus" (hungarism) for designating his own ideology. Szalasi claimed to be more radical than Hitler, for this reason he used the word "asemitism" (this is again a word created by himself) in place of "antisemitism". Szalasi explained that Hitler's antisemitism was merely "hate against Jews", while his own "asemitism" meant not only hate, but "total negation of Jews".
And an interesting fact about the personality of Szalasi. Being the leader of the most radical Hungarian extreme right political entity, he himself was not of Hungarian origin. His original name was Salasyan, and he was of Armenian nationality.
No! The photo sent by me is in the RUBICON Historical Review 2001/1-2 (page 19). On the picture you can see Miklós Horthy, the Commander-in Chief of the Hungarian National Army in 1919. I found another picture about the "flag" in the book "Fortélyos félelem igazgat", 4th edition, Budapest 1980. (on the page 9)
This is a famous photo. You can see MiklĂłs Horthy on white horse to marche in Budapest on 16th November 1919.
I found some photos with this flag as the flag of Commander-in Chief of the Hungarian National Army - Horthy Miklós.

Istvan Molnar, 11 January 2003
Szálasi (a puppet of nazi ideology) invented the word: Hungarizmus and founded the party: Arrow Cross Party, which was a typical Gestapo raised organization. Most of the very young people saw great thing in this party, but only them.....
The Arrow Cross Party took over Hungary with the active support of Wehrmacht troops, which ended the Horthy regim, with German power. Szálasi was in prison, until the Wehrmacht took power from the Horthy government. Horthy himself was known for English connections, and the dislike of the German power, but he remained silent, because Hungary was a very little 'thing' for Germany. Our troops was very few in numbers, and half of the Hungarian factories were in German hands,s o it was the only thing he can do, to support....
When he finally sayed, that we LEAVE the German side, the Wehrmach offensive broked in quickly, the Gestapo took Horthys son, and threatened him to release Szálasi, and the Arrow Cross Party took over. The Hungarista party never used flags with calligraphic H. They Used the Arrow Cross, in middle of a circle, and sometimes they put a little, white H in the middle of the cross. The cross was green and sometimes black. The H may mean Hungary, but I am almost sure, that this flag is some military divisions flag, who adopted Horthy's name. After the nazi Hungarista party took over, they used nyilas soldiers (Arrow Cross party = Nyilaskeresztes párt) over Hungarian regular army, like waffen SS over Wehrmacht. But these 'soldiers' were merely criminals, in black uniform, with German weapons, even the most right winged Hungarian soldiers hated them. They escaped from all battle.

Minimizing Impedance Mismatches with Fixed Attenuators
Fixed attenuators are invaluable problem-solvers for circuit-level and system-level designers. In addition to controlling amplitude levels, fixed attenuators can improve the impedance match between impedance-sensitive devices such as amplifiers and filters, and provide the isolation needed to stabilize oscillators.
Unfortunately, not all RF components and transmission lines are created equal. Although most components are nominally specified at 50Ω (and, in the case of cable-television or CATV systems, 75Ω), their impedances are comprised of complex, reactive elements which can add and subtract under different phase conditions. Under ideal conditions, when a load is perfectly matched to a source, maximum power available from that source is transferred to the load. Under these ideal conditions, there are no reflections, and the reflection coefficient is zero. But when the operating conditions are less than ideal (as in all real-world applications), not all of the source power is absorbed by the load; the remaining power is reflected back to the source. When the load is an open or short circuit, all of the power is reflected back to the source, and the reflected voltage is the same as the forward voltage, resulting in a reflection coefficient of unity. In simple terms, when the load impedance of a device differs from the characteristic impedance of a system or other device, the voltage between the two units will fluctuate.
The reflection coefficient can be expressed in terms of the load impedance and the characteristic impedance as:
ρ = (Zload – Z0)/(Zload + Z0)
The ratio of the peak voltage to the minimum voltage, which is known as the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), can be expressed in terms of the load and characteristic impedances as:
VSWR = [1 + │(Zload – Z0)/(Zload + Z0) │]/[1 – │(Zload – Z0)/(Zload + Z0)│]
The VSWR is a figure of merit for impedance match (or mismatch). In an attenuator, it is a measure of the deviation from 50Ω or 75Ω of the component's input and output impedances. A perfect match is represented by a VSWR of 1.0:1, while a worse-case mismatch is represented by an infinite VSWR of ∞ : 1. A VSWR that is slightly higher than 1.0:1 represents a slight mismatch from the ideal match, and is generally the goal sought by adding attenuators to a multiple component design or test system.
A fixed attenuator can help to lower the VSWR of cascaded (connected) components by providing isolation between the impedances, effectively masking the impedance mismatches. It is important to note that in a receiver, an attenuator will also play a part in the system noise figure, since the unit's attenuation value can also be thought of as its noise figure. For example, a 3-dB fixed attenuator that is inserted prior to a low-noise amplifier (LNA) in a receiver front end will effectively set the noise figure of the receiver to a minimum of 3 dB. The cascaded effects of the noise figures and losses of the components following the attenuator, including the LNA, will increase the noise figure considerably beyond 3 dB, however.
Similarly, the use of attenuators in a test system with a spectrum analyzer, for example, will affect the test-system dynamic range. Since the dynamic range is essentially the difference between the highest-level signal and the minimum discernible signal, the dynamic range will decrease by an amount equal to the total attenuation added.
In test setups, even minimal-valued attenuators, such as 1-dB units, can aid in minimizing mismatch errors. The choice of attenuator depends on the sensitivity of the measurement equipment, the type of device under test (DUT), and the maximum allowable signal level to the test equipment. If an active device, such as an amplifier, is under test, with a rated output level of +27 dBm, but the maximum input rating of the spectrum analyzer is +25 dBm, an attenuator with rating of 5 dB or more will provide adequate protection for the analyzer while also serving to minimize mismatch uncertainty. Of course, based on the attenuation flatness of the device, it may be possible to specify a lower-valued attenuator, provided that its variations in attenuation (attenuation flatness) are within acceptable limits. In this case, a 4-dB attenuator with better than ±1 dB attenuation flatness (which means that its attenuation ranged from 3 to 5 dB) would still provide adequate protection for the spectrum analyzer's input mixer.
Several lines of surface-mount and coaxial fixed attenuators are available from Mini-Circuits at attenuation values from 1 to 40 dB and for frequencies from DC to 40 GHz. These attenuators are available for both 50Ω and 75Ω systems, with attenuation flatness ranging from ±0.2 dB for lower-valued attenuators to a still modest ±0.6 dB for 40-dB attenuators. Minimum and maximum VSWRs are given for all units to help anticipate the effects of a particular attenuator (beyond the basic signal attenuation) on a communications or test system.
When attempting to determine the total VSWR created by the connection of two components, it is generally safe to assume that two VSWRs will tend to multiply rather than add. For example, when connecting a component with a VSWR of 3.0:1 to a second component with a VSWR of 1.50:1, the resulting maximum VSWR will be 4.50:1, with a corresponding return loss of 3.93 dB. Because of this, the effects of mismatch can be minimized by selecting an attenuator with the lowest possible VSWR. Table 1 shows the effects of combining two components in terms of their maximum VSWR and return loss. The ideal condition, where both VSWRs are 1.0:1 and there are no reflections, results in infinite return loss. But as the VSWR for each component increases, the maximum VSWR increases as the product of the two individual VSWRs.
*Table 1 was created with a handy Windows-based program called VSWR Calculator, detailed by author Steve Hageman of Agilent Technologies (Santa Rosa, CA) in his article, "Program predicts VSWR-mismatch RF uncertainties," appearing in the February 1, 2001 issue of EDN.

Q: How to use string interpolation and receive a random value from an enum? What I have to do is as follows:
I have a component with an array of offers. An offer consists of several things, but one of them has to be a status which has to be a string-based enum.
Offers with random values for several attributes have to be created, one of them is the status of the offer as an enum. This can be "NEW", "FOR_SALE", "SOLD", "PAID", "DELIVERED", "CLOSED", "EXPIRED", and "WITHDRAWN". A random offer must be generated with a method that creates this offer with randomized attributes for everything as well as a random status from the enum.
Now I have tried lots of things and I just cannot figure out how to use the enum in this scenario. String interpolation on the enum does not seem to do anything or put out any value from the enum and I can't see how to apply randomization on the enum as you don't seem to be able to apply anything to the enum itself.
export class Overview1Component implements OnInit {
  private offers: Offer[];

export class Offer {
  public title: string;
  public sellDate: Date;
  public description: string;
  public auctionStatus: AuctionStatus;
  public numberOfBids: number;
  public valueHighestBid: number;
}

export enum AuctionStatus {
  NEW = 1,
  FOR_SALE = 2,
  SOLD = 3,
  PAID = 4,
  DELIVERED = 5,
  CLOSED = 6,
  EXPIRED = 7,
  WITHDRAWN = 8
}

Is there a flaw in my approach itself for the enumerator? How would I pick out a random value from the enum and use string interpolation to display this in my HTML?

Some further information:
Random offers are made with the following method:
 public addRandomOffer(): void {
    const newOffer = new Offer();
    newOffer.title = 'This great article offer-' + (this.offers.length);
    const fromDate = new Date(2005, 0, 1);
    const toDate = new Date(2020, 0, 1);
    newOffer.sellDate = this.getRandomDate(fromDate, toDate, 0, 23);
    newOffer.numberOfBids = Math.floor(Math.random() * 30 + 1);
    if (newOffer.numberOfBids === 0) {
      newOffer.valueHighestBid = 0;
    } else {
      newOffer.valueHighestBid = Math.floor(Math.random() * 200 + 1);
    }
    this.offers.push(newOffer);
  }

As you can see there is currently nothing in here for setting or randomizing the status, as I can't figure out how to do anything with it.
This is done so that random offers can be displayed on a component of overview of offers.
Image of the view
In the HTML for printing the offers I currently have the following:

    {{offer.title}}
    {{offer.sellDate}}
    {{offer.auctionStatus}}
    {{offer.numberOfBids}}
    €{{offer.valueHighestBid}}

A: A shortened version :

class Offer {
  constructor() {
    this.auctionStatus = Math.trunc(Math.random() * 8 + 1);
  }

}

const offer = new Offer();
console.log(offer.auctionStatus);

Easy as that.
Although, since you asked it, I strongly advise to use enums. They don't have their place in JS. So just use an object instead.
(But that's personal preference).

A: You can access a random enum value by index accessor as
AuctionStatus[Math.trunc(Math.random() * 8 + 1)]

You can use a neat trick to access the number of values in enum as
Object.keys(AuctionStatus).length / 2

Wales still face the prospect of playing their home matches in the Six Nations behind closed doors after First Minister Mark Drakeford announced current restrictions must remain in place.
Uncertainty continues to hover over the viability of fans attending the clash with Scotland at the Principality Stadium on February 12, while France and Italy also visit Cardiff in March.
Only crowds of 50 are allowed to attend outdoor events as the Omicron variant of Covid continues to spread and Drakeford insisted there will be no lifting of safety measures for at least another two weeks.
Please remember, new coronavirus measures are in place to #KeepWalesSafe 👇

"We have to see the tide turn on the Omicron wave. We have to manage our way through the very difficult weeks that follow while numbers are still rising," Drakeford told a Welsh Government briefing.
"There are ways in which we have learned over the pandemic to make major events organised in safer ways.
"It's always been the case that the risks in major events are less at the event itself, particularly when those events are well run as certainly the autumn internationals were.
"It is how people travel to the stadium, it is how people gather around the stadium, it is how people behave. Not at the game, but around the game.
"So there are further measures that could be adopted that would help to mitigate those risks.

"Of course, we would all far prefer to be in a position where the Six Nations could go ahead with people watching the game here in Wales.
"The issue that is under the microscope is whether we can do that safely. Whether the number of people falling ill with the virus is so high that adding further to that risk simply would not be a responsible thing to do.
"I know it's really difficult when you're organising a major event and you're under the pressure of time, but we won't know that for the next couple of weeks.
"But we will be watching that very carefully and as I said, as soon as we can make a decision, we will make a decision. But the decision will be made on the grounds of public safety and public health safety.
"In the end, that has to be the top consideration for the Government."

The Welsh Rugby Union is exploring the option of staging home games in England in a bid to generate an income from the Six Nations should the shut-out of meaningful crowds continue.
The integrity of the tournament is threatened with significant restrictions in place in Scotland, Ireland and France, while England and Italy are able to host capacity crowds in one of sport's most partisan events.
"I make no criticism of the WRU for exploring all the options that are available to them," Drakeford said.
"They are a business and as a responsible business it seems to me that they are bound to look at all the different possibilities that are there in front of them.
"Whether they will choose to go ahead and play games elsewhere with the undoubted risks that would bring, were we to be still in the eye of the storm of coronavirus, I think is a very debatable question.
"But whether I have any problem with them looking at the options that they have available to them, no I don't."

Wall cracks are a common problem for many homeowners in our area. Even a small crack can let in water or pests, such as termites. It's important to have cracks in your foundation evaluated. There are many types of cracks that can occur in concrete, masonry, foundation walls, floors, or ceilings. They can be a sign of foundation shrinkage, expansion, or settlement.
Shrinkage cracks usually do not cause any structural damage. They are caused by the concrete shrinking over time or by being overloaded. They should still be repaired, as they can allow water to seep in or pests to enter your home.
Trees are a common cause of problems with foundations. Their trunk and root growth can push the foundation out of place, causing cracks to form over time.
Too much or too little water can affect your foundation, also. Oversaturated soil can exert large amounts of pressure against the foundation walls. Drought conditions can cause the soil to shrink, taking support away from the foundation wall.
Our team of experts can inspect your home's foundation and determine the cause of the cracks in your home. Once that is determined, we will work with you to develop a repair plan that works for you and takes care of the problem. We won't just apply a cosmetic fix, we'll take care of the underlying problem. Contact us today for your foundation crack needs in Connecticut and the surrounding area.


Warwick Academy had three incredible teams, two for students and one teacher team, represented in this year's Triple Challenge competition, which raises funds for local charities.
Three days, three races, 13 kilometres, more than 75 obstacles. This was what was in store for a group of four Warwick Academy sixth-form students in mid-March.
The triple challenge is not only a physical challenge but also tests you mentally and challenges teamwork skills. Obstacles consist of walls, climbing and crawling. Cannot do the obstacle? Expect 25 burpees coming your way.
On Friday, March 15, the group met in St George's, where we participated in the Argus foot race, the shortest of the three days, with only three kilometres in store.
We started off strong and at a good pace (only to be quickly overtaken by Warwick Academy's boys team). On this day, obstacles were slightly less challenging and the air was cooler because it was after sunset.
For my team, the hardest obstacle on day one was probably the tyre flip, which required full strength from all four of us and a slight amount of co-ordination.
Day two challenged our running. The team was made up of three gymnasts and an ex-runner. Now running is not a strong point of mine but on the beach it is especially hard.
Most would think mid-March seems a little bit early for an ocean swim, but after running a few kilometres the icy water was surprisingly refreshing.
Initially, I didn't realise how long day two was. I'd never ran a 5K on the beach in my life, although, as I look back at it, I realise it was actually a lot of fun despite my exhaustion.
After day two, we received a Bermuda magnet to match the triangle magnet received on day one. This meant that there was just one more piece to make the whole medal; day three.
Day three took place on the opposite end of the island, starting in Dockyard. Arriving at the starting location there were no spectators around, which was quite different from previous days. This was because the location changed from previous years in order to extend the running portion of the final day.
This day was by far the most difficult for me individually. Over the three days, I had battled with a stomach bug and was quite low on energy, although, as I approached new obstacles, I still tackled them with my best effort and made it through the 5K.
My favourite part of day three happened to be the water portion. Located across from Calico Jack's and Dolphin Quest was an inflatable obstacle course which challenges all aspects of your muscles and was funny to watch your team mates try to do.
Finally, crossing the finish line on day three, we were awarded with the base of the medal, the two previous magnets connect to this base in order to represent each day of the challenge. We were also given a complimentary buffet at the end of the challenge, which was something we all looked forward to from day one.
As a whole, I absolutely loved the Triple Challenge and know my team did too. Anna, Macy and Gianna were always the best motivators and team-mates as we were running. Combining Gianna's strength, with Macy's speed and Anna's determination, we were the dream team who were determined to complete all three days.
Being the hardest physical challenge of my life made finishing the challenge more rewarding and made me want to do it next year, even more than I already did.

And what happened to the idea of non-intervention in the internal affairs of Western Hemisphere republics? At this writing, Honduras is not buckling.
"We have established a democratic government, and we will not cede to pressure from anyone. We are a sovereign country," said Roberto Micheletti, who was named caretaker president to serve out Zelaya's term, which ends this year.
Though elected as a center-right candidate, Zelaya has moved into the orbit of Chavez, whose idea it was to change the Honduran constitution to get Zelaya another term. Hugo even provided the ballots.
In Latin America, term limits have been written into constitutions to prevent a return to the time of the dictators and presidents-for-life. The folks who put Zelaya aboard that plane are friends of the United States.
Why are Obama and Hillary Clinton meddling in the affairs of a friendly country, to dump over a friendly government, to reinstate a friend of Hugo's, whose goal is to bring Honduras into his anti-American "Bolivarian Revolution"?
Like Barack's strange behavior in Trinidad, where he grinned away as Chavez handed him an anti-American tract, then listened for an hour to Daniel Ortega berate us for cruelty to Castro's Cuba, without protest or retort, Obama is coming off as one who shares the international left's view of the United States.
There is another issue raised by Obama's denunciation of our friends in Honduras. Does he put ideology ahead of U.S. national interests? Does he prefer hostile democracies to friendly autocrats?
"He may be an SOB, but he's our SOB," FDR said of one Latin dictator. What FDR meant was that, in those grave times when Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Joseph Stalin and Japanese militarists ruled most of Eurasia, America must take her friends where she could find them.
In World War II, we welcomed the alliance with Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, and the neutrality of the autocrats of Madrid and Lisbon. We partnered with Stalin. Gen. Eisenhower cut a deal with Vichy's Adm. Darlan to get GIs safely ashore in North Africa.
From 1961 to 1979, Park Chung-hee was an authoritarian ruler of South Korea who sent 50,000 troops to fight beside ours in Vietnam. Was he not a better friend than Olof Palme of Sweden, Pierre Trudeau of Canada and Willy Brandt of Germany, who burnished their democratic credentials by scoring points off the United States?
For most Cold War presidents, U.S. national interests always trumped democratist ideology. Ike preferred the Shah to the democratically elected Mohammad Mossadegh. Richard Nixon preferred Gen. Pinochet to the elected Salvador Allende.
Even George Bush, who had pushed for Palestinian elections and insisted on Hamas' inclusion, perhaps because he thought they would lose, did a somersault when Hamas won.
How to explain the universality of the attacks on Honduras - when few United Nations members outside the West condemned Tehran and Hugo Chavez rushed to congratulate Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - other than the fact that this "coup" removed an adversary of the United States?
Anti-Americans stand by their own, no matter how they came to power, or retain power. Only in the West do we seem always prepared to abandon our flawed friends who do not measure up.
This is a formula for eventually not having any friends.
That Obama finds himself in camp with Castro's Cuba, Ortega's Nicaragua and Chavez, who is openly threatening Honduras, should tell him something about where his ideology is taking him, and us.
One day, Obama is going to have to decide whether he wishes to be the darling of the international left or the unapologetic leader of the nation that is most resented and reviled by the international left.

The new Colorado Spirits Trail maps out 52 distilleries across the state. Here's how it works.
Grab a map and a passport. These distilleries are all over the state.
By Joshua Berman, Special to The Denver Post Mar 7, 2018, 6:44 am
Guests could head to the bar and make cocktails with their favorites at Two Parts' Hearts & Trails event At Mile High Station on Feb. 24, 2018.

In front of the Durango Craft Spirits booth, I raised my taster glass for a sniff, swished the warming liquid around my mouth and let it go down the hatch.
This whiskey, said distillery owner Michael McCardell, was their first batch, barrel-aged two years and tapped just two months ago. McCardell's wife and distilling partner, Amy McCardell, added that the whiskey (like their Soiled Doves Vodka and Mayday Moonshine) is made with all Colorado ingredients — "non-GMO white corn from the Mountain Utes and barley, malt, wheat and rye from the Colorado Malting Company in Alamosa," she said.
I thanked them and moved to the next booth. Things were in full swing in Mile High Station, where the Colorado Distillers Guild's first Hearts & Trails Spirit Festival was showcasing 45 of the more than 70 craft distilleries now in Colorado — up from zero licensed distilleries in 2004. This event was also the launch of The Colorado Spirits Trail, a guide to 52 tasting rooms around the state, complete with a map and passport.

I'm a big fan of traveling with a purpose, especially a liquid scavenger hunt with such belly-warming rewards. Inspired in part by the success of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail (which brings in $1.3 billion annually to the state), the Colorado version takes people up and down the Front Range, deep into the mountains, to the Western Slope and the plains.
The trail, said Sean Smiley, owner of Golden, Colorado's State 38 Distilling and President of the Colorado Distillers Guild, is not just about touring the tasting rooms. "The real magic, the beauty of this, is to learn about the process that goes into making each of these spirits," he said.
Spirits enthusiasts can pick up a trail map, with passport, at most participating distilleries, and at the airport and tourist information offices around the state. Hitting the trail soon could land you a prize: Be among the first 24 to get a stamp from all 52 distilleries on the map and you'll get a signed bottle from each one. Pacing yourself? Visiting just 10 places on the map gets you a Spirits Trail T-shirt.
Downslope Distillery was one of 45 Colorado craft distillers at a recent tasting event in Denver — and one of 52 stops on the new Colorado Spirits Trail. (Joshua Berman, Special to The Denver Post)
Though the trail could take travelers all the way to Durango, which is home to two distilleries on the map, Denverites don't have to go far to enjoy it. There are 15 distilleries in the metro area alone, and another couple dozen nearby on the Front Range.
Then again, a mountain loop would knock off the distilleries in Breckenridge, Buena Vista, Salida, Crested Butte, Ouray, Durango and Palisade — a plan that overlays nicely with the Colorado Historic Hot Springs Loop, I noticed.
Back at the festival, with the Durango whiskey still comforting my palate, I stepped up to the Colorado High Hemp-Crafted Vodka table, a small-batch operation out of Colorado Springs, and held out my glass.

The first week of school is tucked firmly beneath my belt. This is fancy talk for, I survived. So did the kids, by the way. Landon barely. Apparently I neglected to mention to him when we began that school occurs every. single. day. So on day two, as he toddled into the kitchen, his morning Cup 'a Joe nestled firmly between his teeth (read: sippy cup of juice), he asked me the same thing he asks me every morning.
Um…yeah. Apparently school every day isn't his favorite. By day five he started to come around, though he never met the news that school was about to begin with much glee. You can't please everyone, right?
Not that school was a wash for him. We worked on learning the States last week. We labeled them on a map and each day learned to identify a few more. By the end of the week, Sloan was able to point to and label 30 States. Tia could label about 15 and then needed a few prompts for the rest. Landon can point to about 6 when asked where they are. But all on his own, he can label one State.
For some reason Utah. Not Florida. Not Missouri. Utah.
There is no way for me to answer that question. I don't know why. All I know is my three year old can point to Utah when shown a blank map. I am so proud.
As a reward for a great first week of school, we finished lessons early on Friday and headed to the The Florida Aquarium in Tampa. We got up close and personal with the sting rays, we growled at the sharks and we made silly faces at the alligators. And we topped it all off with some good old fashioned water play.
As an impromptu history lesson, we walked next door to the American Victory Ship, one of only four operational World War II ships in the country. It was the end of the day and they were preparing to close, but they let us have the run of the ship before shutting everything down. We rang the bells, visited the captain's quarters and fought mighty battles against the enemy warships and alien droids.
We won each battle with nary an injury. It was truly a victorious ship.
Just before leaving, one of the sailors aboard the ship took us into the Engine Room and gave us a quick history lesson. The ship was built 70 years ago (not 60 hundred as Landon guessed…by hey – he can identify Utah, right?). And the massive vessel was built in only 55 days. Not 25 years as Sloan guessed. But hey…he can point to 30 States on a map, right?
"Can you take us out on a ride in this ship?" Sloan asked the Sailor-man. I just wish my child wasn't so shy, ya know?
Sloan grinned and clasped his hands together at his chest. "Okay!" he cried, his eyes dancing. "When we go out, can you shoot off a bomb? Please?" He did use lovely manners making his Mama brim with pride.
"What do you mean?" Sloan asked.
And we all laughed. Me with the "Oh I'm so embarrassed I will explain this to him later" Mom laugh, and Sailor-man with the "I used to be a little boy and I had a few little boys of my own so I totally understand what's going on inside his head" laugh. And off we went.
Sunday night brought beautiful, perfect Florida weather. There was an ocean breeze perfect for fishing and we traipsed down to the dock at sunset where Sloan immediately snagged a beautiful, large blue crab. After a bit of dancing and a whole lot of finagling, we got him in the bucket and gave him a pinfish to play with. Lee pulled in a good sized catfish that we all ooed and aahed over until it came time to take him off the hook, then we all scattered and let Lee handle the honors alone.
The night ended early, however, when Sloan's line bent over and he struggled and fought and pulled up a…friggin' snake. When we figured out that's what was on his line, Tia sprouted wings and flew 50 feet in less than a second. I danced and yelped while Lee held his arms straight out and yelled "STOP! Do not pull that thing in." He grabbed the pole and shook it until the long (too long) sea monster finally fell off. And with our hearts hammering in our throats, we packed it in and marched inside, cooking our crab for a little late night snack.
