Blockchain and Futures of Human Interaction: What is a Decentralized Autonomous Society?
jierdin (55)in #blockchain • 6 years ago (edited)
Blockchains, the engine behind Bitcoin, is proving to allow many revolutionary technologies. Blockchains allows humans and computers to share and control information in a way that is transparent and decentralized.
This article is intended for people who are still grappling with the magical algorithm that is allowing new ways of human interactions.
Conveying how much change Blockchains will bring to our plante is difficult. Imagine the Internet back in the late 80's. It was hard to explain to most people, and there weren't many clear uses for it yet. None the less, many people worked hard to manifest the Internet's potential, and soon the Web reshaped the way humans interact.
Blockchain is similar to the Internet because both promote Decentralization. They distribute power and information to many. This is a reversal of the centuries-long trend of Centralization; of consolidation of power into states and then super states.
Super states like the US and EU are collapsing, even if the TV pundits are continuing to pretend as if everything is normal. The Centralization proved too fragile; it was easily co-opted by an oligarchy.
There is a way out of this mess, without the dangers inherent in a traditional revolution. Traditional governments need tax revenue and belief in their legitimacy to continue to exist. Without these external sources of energy, these parasitic systems will wither and die.
This is not to say that governments do not provide important services.
We can provide many of the same government services using Blockchain.
With Blockchain powering governance, transactions become more visible so that they are much more resistant to corruption.
Bitcoin, and similar cryptocurrencies based on Blockchain, offer us a way of exchanging goods and services that is independent of a central control point. This makes corruption much more difficult. The technology at the heart of Bitcoin - the Blockchain - permits us to do more than just generate currency secure, decentralized manner.
A Blockchain is a network of distributed information; a shared ledger copied and worked on by all participating in the network. Many Blockchains reside on thousands of computers, across the world. BLOCKS of Changes to the ledger are shared and processed collectively, and once the results are verified by many computers, the BLOCK is added to the CHAIN. Each Blockchain is transparent because everybody hosting the network has a copy of all of the transactions. However, it is secure because in order to manipulate your own data, you need a complex password called a private key that can prove it was you who requested an action.
With Bitcoin, the private key allows you to transfer your Bitcoin to someone else, while a public key is an address where anyone can send Bitcoin. In future systems, a private key will be used to verify when we sign a document, or voted, or request arbitration during a dispute.
There are already groups such as BitNation that offer Identification and Notarization services based on Blockchains. Soon, reputation and dispute resolution systems will give humans an alternative to the legacy-state court system, which in the U.S. is at best financially inaccessible, and at worst a for-profit enterprise in human slavery.
Within ten years it will be as easy to create a new society - with its own currency, legislature, dispute resolution, reputation system, etc - as it is to make a Facebook group. Once that happens, why would we continue dumping tax money into systems that we know are no longer serving the greater good? Why would we continue voting for politicians that we know do not care about our well being?
We can take our power back, one decision at a time.
If you're eager for this future, check out the Decentralized Autonomous Society Facebook group. And follow this account for more detailed posts as we explore the challenges and triumphs that will come with the future of human interaction.

What would be your objectives if you were living in a DAS ? What would you do that you cannot do today in the country where you are living ? Where are you living ?
johan-nygren (63) 6 years ago
The possibilities for what you would be able to do, which you cannot do today, are as many as the possibilities that came with the general purpose computer, or the internet.
Decentralized Autonomous Virtual States (DAVS) such as Ethereum free up cognitive resources, in the same that representative government was a liberating organization, which enabled people to do things they could not do in the previous organization (monarchy, empires, religions, etc).
As long as laws needed the brain, and therefore, the genes to survive and propagate, laws that were loudest in ordering genes to replicate them had a survival advantage. Such laws would propagate by threatening annihilation of the genes on one hand and promising "eternal life" on the other, religion being prime examples.
The trend is towards liberation from gene-based imperatives. By moving law from the confines of brains that are dependent on gene multiplication, into legal systems, representative democracy as we know it being an early experiment in that, there is less need for laws to co-opt genes for their purpose, and it becomes possible to imagine, design and create new types of laws.
Everything that modern civilization takes for granted is the result of a gradual externalization of law, and liberation from gene-based imperatives, in a bootstrapping process which gradually led to things like female voting rights, racial equality, the internet, BitTorrent, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and so on. The trend is towards a liberation of mind and intelligence, enabling ever more complex forms of organization.
With Decentralized Autonomous Societies, people will enjoy even more externalization of law than they did during the nation-state, and this will free them to do things and to organize in ways that would have been previously impossible. The major theme is that law is shaped by the human mind, and the brain is shaped by gene-based imperatives, and by externalizing law into legal systems, it becomes possible to imagine new organization, because the brain is liberated from processing law. Like any other technology, legal systems build on itself.
Another major theme is that nation-state law was only a partial externalization, and it still ran on gene-based imperatives such as fear. With DAS, fear-based law will be made a thing of the past, continuing a process that has been going on for the past hundred years. Execution for example used to be common, and was then replaced with other incentives. Universal Basic Income will come to replace survival-mode incentives, and if you remove fear from the equation, that will change a lot, as it already has through advanced in representative government.

^^ PREACH IT BROTHER ^^
+ johan-nygren
YES ! :)
@chrisaiki imagine a world where whatever you felt like doing, whenever you felt like doing it, you could do that. The flow in that world would be much more friction-less than in the nation-state organization, often conceptualized as "hyper-economics". When humans follow their passion and enter flow, they are 10x more productive than if running on gene-based imperatives.
The increase in growth and productivity leads to increased health and security, and as the world around you becomes less filled with suffering, you're liberated empathically. This further frees up resources, and leads to ever better forms of organization.
When we moved from the middle ages into the nation-state, that is how transformed the world will be a decade from now. It has already changed beyond recognition in the past 10 years.
1998: - Don't get in strangers' cars - Don't meet ppl from internet
2016: - Literally summon strangers from internet to get in their car
The friction I observed these last weeks between two people who were running for presidency did not depend on a scarcity of their incomes. Their programs were different when they had the same genes and few allelic differences. If you look at my posts, you can see that I am pro basic income and I have subscribed for the Grantcoin UBI. I have read many interesting things about basic incomes but the problem remain : how do you build up objectives inside a community once every member have a basic knowledge of the influence of fear on their decisions. I think that my brain is not a computer, does not process information, retrieve knowledge or store memories.
Yes they had the same gene-based imperatives, and they had both been conditioned during an age before the internet, and most of their dominant memeplex and their dominant selfplex is rooted in that world.
The brain and its memes are co-dependent with its genes, and extra-cerebral memes (Leigh, 2010) is a relatively new extension of the brain. The web 2.0 has liberated the brain in many ways, but it is still not liberated from fear-based law, and is in many ways incapable of knowing anything about what the world would be like on the other side of a legal reformation.
On incentives for universal basic income, I've proposed a system which I call Resilience, which would not require community consensus, but be self-organizing and based on gene-based imperatives, greed basically,

I think of it more in terms of "WHAT WOULD I NOT BE DOING if I lived in a DAS"
Supporting war/empire with my tax money
Witnessing modern day slavery in the form of the "justice" system
Seeing people fight over who their leader is
but I wanna reply in the affirmative to because it makes me think.
A) Make connections between my DAS and other societies that are beneficial to both groups, like an ambassador
B) Collaborate on and fund projects that benefit the group, on a more item by item level
C) Work with the existing governments to offload many of their tasks to these smaller societies (so that the legacy states can focus on what they should actually be doing!)
...I live mostly in the US but am frustrated by the concept of borders and passports even though mine is relatively privileged!

Pod Of Dolphins Heroically Defend Their Whale Friend And Her Baby From Attack Of Giant Male Whales
Ido DonatiNews
Dolphins are known as some of the smartest and most sophisticated animals in the world. Although they are excellent hunters, they do not prey on humans. Instead, they seem to possess social skills and an ability to intuit what humans are thinking and feeling. Their attitude of compassion also extends to other animals in the wild, as this incident between a mother whale and her baby demonstrates.
14. Social Swimmers
Image: youtube
Dolphins are one of the most social animals in the ocean. They are known for their interest in humans. But a recent video shows that they also have empathy for other species as well. When a female whale was swimming near Flinders Bay, Western Australia, she found this out firsthand. A dangerous pack of male whales was lurking.
13. Spirit and Her Baby
Image: whale watchers of western australia
The situation was doubly dangerous for this female whale since she was swimming with her young baby whale. The whale's name is Spirit, and she is well known off the coast of Flinders Bay. Five large male whales started moving toward her, fighting to attack and even mate with Spirit. The female whale tried to outmaneuver them because they were threatening her child. But it appeared as if the battle would be lost.
12. Spirit Tries to Swim Away
Spirit did not want to mate since she was raising the calf. Male whales have been known to kill baby whales in their pursuit of female whales. Spirit knew this and knew that she was outnumbered as they closed in on her. But then help arrived from a most unlikely source: a pod of dolphins.
11. Dolphins to the Rescue
Image: bbc
The dolphins swam to the rescue, surrounding Spirit and her calf. They blocked the male whales from getting any closer. Unbelievably, members from Whale Watch WA happened to be in the water that day and they got video of the entire encounter. The dolphins knew the mother needed help so they stayed with her. Some dolphins even bared their teeth to tell the whales they meant business!
10. Guarding the Baby
The mother whale moved toward the Whale Watch boat in an effort to guard her baby. One of the male whales finally relented, swimming off. He even swam angrily at the other male whales in order to get them to back off the scared whale. This chivalrous whale then swam beside the mother and baby, as if escorting them to safety.
9. Life-Changing Events
Whale Watch members who witnessed the amazing encounter called it an amazing and life-changing event. They were surprised and elated to realize that whales and dolphins were close and knew how to communicate with each other. They witnessed a rescue on that day.
8. Saving People
Dolphins have also intervened to save people. There are hundreds of stories about dolphins saving swimmers and divers from dangerous conditions, like lack of oxygen or vicious shark attacks. Dolphins have even been known to pull people right out of the water to save their lives.
7. Stalked by Sharks
Image: kodiak
That's what happened one day in New Zealand when some people were being stalked by sharks. A group of dolphins swam to their rescue, encircling the group until the sharks finally gave up and left the scene. The people probably would have lost their lives if not for the dolphins.
6. Great White
Image: carters news agency
Lifeguard Rob Howes was there that day, along with his daughter and her two friends. He said, "They started to herd us up, they pushed all four of us together by doing tight circles around us." According to Howes, it wasn't clear to him if the dolphins were just playing, but then he tried to swim away. Suddenly the dolphins rushed in to usher him back to the safe area. Only then did he see a great white shark.
5. Protective Zone
Image: kiwi report
"I just recoiled. It was only about two meters away from me, the water was crystal clear, and it was as clear as the nose on my face. They had corralled us up to protect us." The four people had of course been involved in another magical dolphin encounter, forever changing the way they perceived the water and its creatures.
4. Sonar
Why do dolphins seem to care for other species? Action for Dolphins says "A dolphin's sonar penetrates a human body, making our skeletons, lungs, and heart visible (dolphins are even able to hear an embryo's heartbeat, and are especially fascinated by pregnant women). As fellow mammals, it is possible that dolphins recognize similarities in humans, and understand that we are vulnerable to drowning and attacks from predators."
3. Learn
Image: the independent
Many have questioned how dolphins process information. As it turns out, dolphins don't just possess genetic traits making them capable of learning, they are also able to pass on their new knowledge to others. This is an unusual level of intelligence for the animal world. This is why scientists have learned that they can actually train dolphins to perform tricks and to communicate with language.
2. Play
Image: grunge
Dolphins are also among the most playful of all creatures in the animal kingdom. They follow ships to catch fish which are churned up in the ship's wake. However, they aren't just following for easy hunting. They actually move from behind the stern to port and starboard. Why? So they can catch some bow-waves, same as any surfer.
1. Swim With Dolphins
Image: facebook
Dolphins are some of the most beloved animals in the world. Their powers seem almost magical. If you ever have the opportunity to observe or swim with the dolphins, do not pass it up. This is an excellent opportunity to get to understand an amazing species.

Stumbling Stone is dedicated to Rudi's Uncle Gerhard Raab.
Book Tour Stop Seven: Munich, Germany
When we did our book events for Stumbling Stone, the American version of Der Stolperstein, we decided to talk very little about Part III of the book—Gerhard's story. Instead we focused on the unlikely romance between Karl Schmidt and Sarah Stern. We didn't want to give away the mystery, assuming that no one would buy the book if we told them about Gerhard, who resisted the Nazis.
When we were planning our book tour in Germany for Der Stolperstein, we thought audiences would want to hear about Gerhard, who resisted the Nazis. It's turned out to be a both/and situation. Germans seem quite taken with the story of Sarah, the Jewish reporter, and Karl, the German-born son of a high-ranking Nazi. There is also a fair amount of interest—and some controversy and even anger— about Gerhard. A newspaper in Steinbach, writing about our appearance there, called it a tragic story told with some humor. And talking about Gerhard in some detail hasn't stopped people from buying the book. In fact, we've had to order more for the rest of the trip.
Our event in Munich, Germany, was at the NS-Documentation Center, a new building surrounded by stark white, square-columned, semi-classical buildings all designed by the Nazi architect Albert Speer. The Center describes its mission this way: "The City of Munich is aware of its special obligation to keep alive the memory of the Nazi era and its crimes and to inform citizens and visitors about it. After all, it was here in Munich that the rise of the National Socialist movement began after the First World War."
The room where our event was held was set up for about 200 people. About 30 people attended. The Center bookstore had bought books to sell and this was the first place where we encountered someone who had read the book before we talked.
He had plenty to say about Gerhard's situation. In our talk, Rudi explains what happened to Gerhard: murdered by the Nazis after being in the Buchenwald concentration camp. Rudi notes that even though Rudi's father—Gerhard's brother who is Der Alte in the novel—was a high-ranking Nazi, Gerhard was a victim of the Nazis.
The audience member was angry. He wanted to know why Der Alte hadn't done something to save his brother.He said that since he was a high-ranking Nazi, he should have been in a position to get Gerhard out of the concentration camp to Switzerland and safety. Or to a normal jail where he would not have been tortured or killed. Since that didn't happened, the question is why?
The covers of both Der Stolperstein and Stumbling Stone have photos of the entry gate at the Buchenwald concentration camp and of Julie and Rudi in post-war Germany as chilren
Several times in different places, someone wanted to know what Der Alte said about his brother. Rudi tells this story: Gerhard was born on December 24. So was Rudi's sister. Every year when it was her birthday, the family would gather in front of the decorated Christmas tree and sing traditional German Christmas carols. Rudi's father walled himself off behind an open newspaper, presumably reading it. During the commemoration of Christmas, he said nothing and did not participate in any family activities. Once the Christmas part was over, he would acknowledge Rudi's sister's birthday by opening a bottle of champagne and making a toast, all the while remaining silent about the fact that Gerhard's birthday was the same day. And on no other day did he ever mention Gerhard.
And at Rudi's father's funeral, the eulogy, presented by one of his former Nazi students, made note of the fact that he never in all his life, talked about his brother.
Another person at the Munich event wanted to know why it had taken us so long to learn some facts about Gerhard's fate. He was surprised there wasn't a central registry of everyone who had been in a concentration camp. The NS-Documentation Center is working to always find more information.
In our book, we deliberately leave open the question of what Der Alte's role in Gerhard's fate was. We don't know. But people are anxious for a specific answer. At one event, one man pressed for answers about each detail of Gerhard's decisions and destinations. I finally said—probably in ungrammatical German— "it's all in the book," a not-so-gentle hint for him to buy it. He didn't.
But in the end, in Munich and elsewhere, the photo of Gerhard on the big screen is a dramatic way of reminding us about his life.
Rudi Raab and Julie Freestone are on a six-week book tour in Germany. They will be talking about their novel Der Stolperstein in 15 locations.


For centuries now, scientists have known just where to find the source of human consciousness: It resides in the three pounds of gelatinous flesh we call the brain.
But a new book by UC-Berkeley philosopher Alva Noë argues that the scientific models are wrong. Out of Our Heads asks us to compare consciousness to currency: It would be silly, Noë says, to look for "monetary value" in a physical object. Money's value is embedded in the institutions and practices that surround it. By the same token, our awareness of the world doesn't take place in our minds; it's a function of the way we interact with everything around us. According to Noë, a thorough understanding of neurons will never amount to a thorough understanding of consciousness. We are much more than brains in bodies.

Q: Keras neural network accuracy problem (100% in few epochs) I'm writing here, hoping to solve a problem, that i had with a neural network, developed in python by using keras.
I'm newer with the deep learning world, and I'm studying the theory and trying to implement some code.
Goal: develop a net that allows me to recognize 2 different words (commands) that i say [in the future them will be used to drive a small robot-car]. Actually, I want only to achieve the identification of "yes/no"
Implementation: i'm trying to implement a binary classification network.
Here is my code:

*

*i used librosa to convert the audio training and test set in a matrix input with 193 features

*to overcame the possibility of batch normalization problem, i scaled the data, by using the preprocessing package (I saw that effectively that improves and affects performance): i notice that if I don't normalize training, test and data_to_be_anlyzed by using the same normalization, it doesn't work

*I read that keras accept as input that can be both numpy array, so i convert the target y into numpy

*i proceed with the construction of the model, training and test (i know that i'm using methods that actually are deprecated)

*I use one audio to perform another text, because for the future i assume that the net will receive (and judge) one audio at-a-time

import support.myutilities as utilNP
import numpy as np
from keras.models import Sequential
from keras.layers import Dense
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler

#READ AND BUILD INPUT
X_si = utilNP.np_array_features_dir('DIRECTORY PATH')
X_no = utilNP.np_array_features_dir('DIRECTORY PATH')
X_tot = np.concatenate((X_si, X_no), axis=0)
# Scale the train set
scaler = StandardScaler().fit(X_tot)
X_train = scaler.transform(X_tot)

#0=si 1=no
y=[]
for i in range(len(X_si)):
    y.append(0)
for i in range(len(X_no)):
    y.append(1)

Y=np.array(y)

#READ AND BUIL TEST TRAINING SET
X_si_test = utilNP.np_array_features_dir('DIRECTORY PATH')
X_no_test = utilNP.np_array_features_dir('DIRECTORY PATH')
X_tot_test = np.concatenate((X_si_test, X_no_test), axis=0)
# Scale the test set
scaler2 = StandardScaler().fit(X_tot_test)
X_test = scaler2.transform(X_tot_test)

y_test=[]
for i in range(len(X_si_test)):
    y_test.append(0)
for i in range(len(X_no_test)):
    y_test.append(1)
Y_test=np.array(y_test)

###### BUILD MODEL
model = Sequential()
model.add(Dense(100, input_dim=len(X_tot[0]), activation='relu')) #193 features as input
model.add(Dense(50, activation='relu'))
model.add(Dense(1, activation='sigmoid')) #1 output

# compile the keras model
model.compile(loss='binary_crossentropy', optimizer='adam', metrics=['acc'])
model.fit(X_train, Y, epochs=300, verbose=1)

#test
scores = model.evaluate(X_test, Y_test, verbose=0)
print('Accuracy on training data: {}% \n Error on training data: {}'.format(scores[1], 1 - scores[1]))
predictions = model.predict(X_test)
for i in range(len(predictions)):
    print('=> %d (expected %d)' % (predictions[i], y_test[i]))

#TEST WITH A PRACTICAL NEW SOUND: supposed acquired
file_name = 'PATH AUDIO'
X = utilNP.np_array_features(file_name)
#Normalize according to input data
X_analyze = scaler2.transform(X)

y_analysis=[]
y_analysis.append(1) # i supposed that the audio is the one that return 1

pred_test= model.predict(X_analyze)
scores2 = model.evaluate(X_analyze, np.array(y_analysis), verbose=0)
print('Accuracy on test data: {}% \n Error on test data: {}'.format(scores2[1], 1 - scores2[1]))

Problems:

*

*accuracy go in 100% in very few epochs. Is real that the training set is not so big (a total of 300 samples, and 40 for test), but this result is clearly wrong. By the way, if I use a number of epochs > 100, the net works well and performs its work good (practically the result of the single case study, is recognized)

*if the number of epochs is low (20 for example), accuracy still reach 100% after few iterations, but the training is affect by the error in the results (why are not recognized?) and the final prediction wrong. It is not normal: i would expect a low accuracy to justify the wrong answer, but it remains at 100%

*I test a lot of solution, passing from setting 'training=True/False', and read a lot of answer here and in stack exchange, but I don't solved nothing.
There is something wrong in my code?
Thanks in advance.

Texas' Most Expensive Restaurant of All is a Surprise Houston Favorite
But It's Still Relatively Reasonable Compared to New York and California's Crazy-High No. 1s
photography Kimberly Park
When it comes to offering up the priciest night out, one award-winning Texas institution is definitely killin' it. Killen's Steakhouse in Pearland has been deemed the No. 1 most expensive restaurant in the entire state.
In a sea of swanky restaurants and ultra upscale steakhouses, Killen's took the top spot. Though it's debatable if this is a distinction you truly want to win. Ronnie Killen, the down-t0-earth creator of Killen's Steakhouse and a barbecue empire, did not return PaperCity's request for comment.
Daily Meal calls out the carnivore's Pearland paradise for the fact that even Killen's least expensive meat offering — the eight-ounce wet-aged filet — costs $42. The food site behind these rankings also cites the $175 48-ounce domestic Wagyu long-bone ribeye at Killen's.
Meats in the middle at Killen's? A $62 dry-aged ribeye, a $125 Australian Wagyu strip, a $125 six-ounce Japanese A5 Wagyu New York Strip and a mouth-watering sounding Wagyu New York Strip flight that comes in at $150.
It all comes courtesy of the meat maestro behind Killen's STQ, Killen's Barbecue and the upcoming Killen's TMX.
This ranking is new, but it looks like Killen's might even have taken home the gold back in 2012 — when Ronnie Killen himself tweeted a photo of a Killen's guest's tab of $12,559.35. There are meals that break the bank. And then there are meals that clear out the bank.
Killen's is a Pearland native with Le Cordon Bleu training and a penchant for state-of-the-art infrared broiling systems. His melt-in-your-mouth meats and Gulf Coast seafood have earned Killen's a four star rating on even the frequently contentious Yelp out of 276 reviews.
One Yelper wrote, "Sure the food is pricey, but it's more than worth it." Then, there's this relatable review: "It's just pricey and so I have only been here when my office has a dinner."
A second Killen's is opening, coming to The Woodlands at 1700 Research Forest Drive, so the demand is clearly there.
While Killen's Steakhouse may be the unofficial most expensive restaurant in Texas, it hardly seems pricey compared to some other states' most expensive hotspots. New York City's famed Masa, known for its flat fee of $595 per person (tip included), wins Empire State honors. In California, two Michelin Star Urasawa — with its $400 30-course omakase menu and average dinner check of more than $1,000 — takes the top spot.
Louisiana's an interesting one, with Doris Metropolitan as the most expensive restaurant. The French Quarter steak haven has a Houston counterpart that didn't make the list. At Doris Metropolitan, steaks start at $30 and go on up to $185.
What's that – you've got a reservation at Killen's tonight? Well hey, big spender.


Two Islamic State (Isis) supporters have claimed that Downing Street, Gatwick and Heathrow "are next" after the Brussels terror attacks. In a chilling video, the men wearing black masks and speaking with strong London accents, are seen celebrating the Brussels bombings and mocking the plight of the people of Belgium, before posting their message on Instagram.
Security experts believe the men are both ISIS fighters based in Syria where they used an internet cafe to film their threats. It is feared they were trained by Birmingham cyber-hacker Junaid Hussain, who was believed to have helped recruit and train many British-born jihadis. Hussaino was killed in a U.S. drone strike in August last year.
British security agencies estimate there are at least 400 British extremists based in Syria and around the same number have returned to the UK from the fighting. Earlier this month leaked Isis membership files exposed a number of British jihadists, recruiters and fighters in Syria and Iraq, who were previously unknown to the UK public. The newly revealed jihadists include fighters from Arsenal and Finsbury Park in north London.
Yesterday it was reported that Daesh (Isis)supporters have been celebrating the horrific terror attacks in Brussels by distributing sweets to residents in Syria and launching a poll asking for suggestions for the next city to target.
In a forum page, mocking the Paris tribute to the 31 people killed in the barbaric attacks on Brussels, one user set up the question poll asking: "What will be the color of the Eiffel Tower in the next attacks?" The United Kingdom came out top on the poll for ISIS's next target with half of the supporters on the forum backing it as the prime target for a terror attack.
IS supporters posted threats on Twitter, tweeting: "The Islamic State will attack London, Washington, Rome and all the infidels' capitals." Another wrote: "The Crusaders are blundered and confused. Yesterday Paris, today Brussels, and they don't know where will be the next attack."
The latest threats come as security has been "stepped up" at checkpoints staffed by British officials on borders. However the increase in security will last for only two weeks.
Lucy Moreton, general secretary of ISU, said: "We've stepped up controls at the border, and at all borders, but it is maintaining that at a high level for a long period of time and whether there is the political will, or potentially even the necessity to do so. Experience from past would suggest that it isn't. The increased checks at the border last about two weeks, or that's how long they lasted after the Paris attacks."
Home Secretary Theresa May revealed yesterday in the House of Commons that intelligence services had foiled seven terror plots on British soil in the last 18 months.
The video, which emerged as police reported a significant arrest in terror raids in Paris, has been picked up by the Washington based Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) which monitors extremist propaganda.

Q: pulling contact phone number issue hi i have a class that pulls all the contacts. in debugger i see phone number like this: phone  String  "\U0000202a+111 11‑11‑11111\U0000202c"
when i print it, it shows 111 11-11-11111.
because of this i cant do stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString("-", withString: "", options: NSStringCompareOptions.RegularExpressionSearch, range: nil)
any idea why it gives me numbers like that , and is there a way to fix it ??
p.s = i use language that is right to left is it by any chance affects it

A: Yes, it's related to your right to left language. The codes are:

0x202a LEFT-TO-RIGHT EMBEDDING
  ...which tells the computer that the following string should go left to right.
0x202c POP DIRECTIONAL FORMATTING
  ...which tells the computer to go back to the previous text direction.

As how to get rid of them I don't know any specific method, but you should be able to just use normal string manipulation to eliminate them if they exist.
EDIT: An example how you could trim them using stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet;
str = str.stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet(
           NSCharacterSet(charactersInString: "\u{202a}\u{202c}"))


I love that jumpsuit – I've got one in the same color I need to get out! I can't believe how chic you've made photos in the rain look too!
The jumpsuit looks really cool and you are right about the turtleneck – it would look great! Especially for those colder days in fall. You look really nice in this outfit.
I absolutely love the look, so trendy and stylish and the colour really suit you!!
Oh heyyyyy, shooting in the rain like a pro and looking so fly!

Q: Setting up multiple dependent elements (JavaScript) I have a form with dependent dropdowns (cat) which depend on the value selected from an independent dropdown (item). I want to avoid copy paste code so I am looking to have a function that can handle multiple dropdowns based on their independent partner. I dont want to explicitly call the dependent element or I will have to result in copy paste ugly code.
So is there away to bind to elements together, or tie to elements together?
Example:
item1 --> cat1
item2 --> cat2
item3 --> cat3
    var roleByCategory = {
        A: ["Soup", "Juice", "Tea", "Others"],
        B: ["Soup", "Juice", "Water", "Others"],
        C: ["Soup", "Juice", "Coffee", "Tea", "Others"]
    }

    $("form").on("change", ".indi_ele", changeCat);
    $(".indi_ele select").change();

    function changeCat(event) { //should handle everything
        var indie = $(event.target);
        var depends = indie.closest('select').find('.gfield_select'); //dependent dropdown
        var type = indie.val(); // this equals A, B, or C

        var catOptions = "";
        for (categoryId = 0; categoryId < roleByCategory[type].length; categoryId++) {
            catOptions += "<option>" + roleByCategory[type][categoryId] + "</option>";
        }
            depends.html(catOptions);
    }

A: Give certain value to the elements of first dropdown and Populate the elements of second dropdown beforehand as well (you may hide it from the user if you want). On change of first dropdown filter the second dropdown using the filter() method.


And here I am. The only gamemodes I have not yet defiled are CTF (does that even exist anymore?) and Rageball!

Flag is under the castle in the dungeon. There are multiple paths to the flag (about 5 or 6 possibilities, and 3 optimal routes IMO). The shortest path is through the gatehouse, so raising the portcullis and keeping it raised is probably the most likely way for attackers to win.

Suez Canal authority turns to Wallingford company to max maritime capability
An Oxfordshire civil engineering and specialist environmental hydraulics company has secured a major contract with The Suez Canal Authority (SCA)
The SCA, the state-owned authority which owns, operates and maintains the Suez Canal, has asked HR Wallingford, based at Howbery Park in Oxfordshire, for support in its continual quest to maximise the potential of this crucial maritime route.
HR Wallingford is to supply modelling systems to the SCA, which will help it to further develop the canal, ports and coastline, keeping it abreast with the growth in shipping sizes, and maintaining a competitive edge.
HR Wallingford is to generate a numerical hydraulic model for the entire canal system, which is one of the world's most heavily used shipping lanes, transited by 18,000 vessels in 2019. The independent engineering organisation will also supply a bespoke state-of-the-art wave generation system for the flume in SCA's research centre, which will be used for studies requiring a physical model.
HR Wallingford's Senior Engineer Giulia Sforzi said: "Modelling such an iconic shipping route, and supplying a wave generation system, is a great honour for us. We believe that our leading-edge tools and models will be of great benefit in keeping this important route operating at its full potential."
HR Wallingford's model will be the most comprehensive that has ever been created of the canal. It will incorporate current flows, waves, and sediment transport, and cover neighbouring coastal areas and ports, as well as the canal itself. To create the model, the HR Wallingford team will use the open source TELEMAC suite. This offers the major advantage of allowing the SCA to make its own modifications and updates in the future, if required. As well as preparing the model, the contract also covers HR Wallingford training the SCA in its use and installing the software at its research centre in Egypt.
HR Wallingford's wave generation system is also destined to be installed in the Suez Canal Research Centre, as a permanent part of its existing research flume. To create the bespoke single paddle flume wave generation system, the team will first design the equipment to fit within the existing structure using Solidworks design software, drawing on their extensive experience of constructing wave generation systems for a wide range of global customers.
The contract also includes installation together with the experienced HR Wallingford team commissioning the equipment on site and the training of staff in its use and maintenance.
George Safwat, SCA spokesperson said: "We have worked on various development projects since digging the Suez Canal 150 years ago to keep abreast with evolutions in the shipping sector, in addition to maximising the Canal's competitive advantages.
"We aim to maintain the Canal's position as one of the most significant maritime routes in the world, and we wish to have the best research facilities to back this, which is why we have awarded this contract to HR Wallingford. The Suez Canal is very important for the Egyptian people and our economy."
For this project, HR Wallingford has partnered with an Egyptian firm, Noor Scientific and Trade, which is acting as in country exclusive representative. Noor Scientific and Trade strictly followed up the contracting procedure and offered HR Wallingford excellent support to win the project. Noor Scientific and Trade will assist with the equipment installation and logistics.

I am using the World of AI Ultimate GA Gulfstream 4 package in FSX, and it seems to work fine. However, I have noticed a problem with the model itself. Sometimes when taxiing, the plane's main wheels spin 360 degrees on a horizontal plane....and they do it constantly. Can someone tell me if there is a fix for this?
Correct me anyone if I'm wrong, but it can't be corrected unless you get the source .mdl files from the author. Editing attach points, animations, etc. on an aircraft model requires decompiling, then re-compiling the .mdl files, and this can't be done in FSX unless you have the source file itself. Trying to decompile the .mdl from the SimObjects folder will either result in nothing happening, the file getting mis-translated, or animations, attach points, bones, etc. not functioning correctly.
I may just install the Gulfstream 3 and 5 instead......unless they suffer from the same problem?
I don't know about skipping it altogether. The problem is relatvely minor. That would be akin to throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
The G4 gives you plenty of badly needed AI business jet flights in the FSX world, and they look great otherwise.
Indeed they do, but those spinning wheels bug me!
Trust me: You'll get over it. It's minor.

Detailed differences between the German (97 minutes, PAL) and the US/International version (90 minutes, PAL):
Title sequence: The German version has white text on black background and the original title music by Klaus Doldinger, which is a bit gloomy to represent Bastian's dream about his mom that he's waking up from in the first scene, the music then continues playing in the background till the breakfast scene. The US version instead has the text placed on a colorful artificial clouds scenario and the "NeverEnding Story" pop song by Giorgio Moroder, performed by Limahl.
When Bastian woke up and closed the book, the US version right cuts to the breakfast scene, but the German version shows 48 seconds more footage: Bastian puts the book away, turns around to switch the lamp off, he then swings over to sit down on the edge of the bed for a little while and looks sad. His dad comes down the stairs, enters the kitchen, looks in a mirror and opens the refrigerator door.
At the end of the breakfast scene when they finished talking and Bastian's dad leaves, the German version shows 14 seconds more footage: Bastian still looks sad and thoughtful, he slowly butters his bread and holds his head with the other hand, plus we hear the sound of dad's car driving away in the background.
Koreander's book store, alternative close-up shots of the book: Once the cover has the title "Die Unendliche Geschichte" for the German version and once it has the title "The NeverEnding Story" for the US version.
Koreander's phone call is slightly longer in the German version (alternative take as it is part of the following notepad shot), but the US version has a short additional insert of Bastian: He hastily grabs the book and runs away with it (just under 1 second).
Bastian leaves a message for Koreander on the notepad, alternative close-ups: Once the note says "Nicht Böse sein. Ich brings bald zurück" for the German version and once it says "Don't Worry, I'll return Your Book" for the US version.
When Bastian enters the school's attic, the German version has more footage at the beginning: He comes in, walks down the stairs and looks around for a bit (19 seconds) longer.
In the US version there's a little bit of synthesizer music by Moroder when we first see the Racing Snail, in the German version is no music there (also some other scenes in the movie that are originally quiet were filled with music for the US version, either with additional music by Moroder or with pieces from Doldinger's music that were taken from other scenes).
The Nothing approaches and Rockbiter looks worried, trees hit out in direction of the camera and in the US version Rockbiter just drives away with his bike then (7 seconds, probably taken from the material that showed Rockbiter arriving before). The German version doesn't show him driving away, but has a different and longer scene following here: Bastian jumps up in fright after the trees hit out, then the school's caretaker enters the attic and carries a bunch of teaching material, the man stumbles, falls and complains. Bastian hides until the caretaker leaves the attic, jumps on his mattress and continues reading the book then (1 minute, 5 seconds).
Different music for the presentation of the Ivory Tower: The German version has a majestic and gentle theme by Doldinger featuring an orchestra (mainly strings, plus choir, trumpet and harp), the US version has a powerful synthesizer pop theme by Moroder instead. Also in several other scenes in the US version of the movie Doldinger's great original orchestral music was replaced with new electronic sounds (similar to what was done to Jerry Goldsmith's work in Ridley Scott's movie "Legend" back then).
During Cairon's speech on the terrace of the Ivory Tower: The US version has extra inserts with shots of some of the bizarre people of Phantasia. The German version of that scene has the same running time but one shot less of the people with the huge heads, no shot of the guy with the elephant head, no shots of the people with three/two faces, and shows more of Cairon and Night Hob's reaction instead.
When Atreyu leaves the Ivory Tower, the following scenes that show him riding through several landscapes of Phantasia were differently edited: The US version has some sequences placed in a different order and combines them, with the first appearance of Gmork placed at the end, and then cuts to the scene with Atreyu and Artax resting. The German version shows the ride in stages, interrupted in the middle by the Gmork appearance and slowly fades over to the resting scene at the end.
The US version jumps to another music right when Atreyu received the Auryn and starts his quest (still Doldinger music, but taken from a theme composed for an other scene), after the different editing mentioned above the original music was too short and so a similar longer track was needed. There are also a few more scenes during the movie where the Doldinger music was moved to other places where it didn't appear originally.
Artax sinks into the swamp, Atreyu desperately screams and tries to rescue his horse, without success. The German version slowly fades to the next scene and is about 3 seconds longer here than the US version (which fades out a little earlier and to black instead). The German version omits Bastian's narration, reading off the book, saying "Everyone knew..." which actually added to the understanding of why Artax sank and why Atreyu does his best to smile afterwards.
In the German version the scene of Artax' death and the following scene of Atreyu sitting in the swamp crying has very sad and powerful orchestral music by Klaus Doldinger (strings, panpipes), for the US version it was replaced with simple synthesizer music by Giorgio Moroder. However, the cue is better synced to enhance the sense of loss and desolation.
Falkor approaches the swamp and saves Atreyu from the Gmork, the German version has the more thrilling Doldinger music and shows one more shot of the Gmork (about 2 seconds) at the end who looks angry because he missed Atreyu.
When Bastian throws the book away in a corner of the attic: Alternative shots of the book again, once with the German and once with the English title. Plus alternative takes for the German and US version of him picking up the book from the floor.
Atreyu's flight on Falkor: In the German version the scene is 19 seconds longer, because the US version has removed two shots (approaching the lake in the mountains plus the following frontal shot of Atreyu on Falkor) and has changed some of the slow fade-overs to simple cuts to make it even shorter.
Before Falkor dives into the sea to pick up the Auryn from the bottom: The US version has a short extra insert (about 4 seconds) that shows some kind of a sparkling point of light in the blue sea (or sky?).
Atreyu back on Falkor, when they ask Auryn to guide them the way to the Ivory Tower it starts glowing: Here the US version jumps from the Doldinger music to Moroder's Ivory Tower theme, while in the German version the original music continues to play and leads to Doldinger's second Ivory Tower theme then. Ironically, the International, shorter version, is better cued to Doldinger's theme. It is especially noticeable when the empress says "The one who can save us all"; in the shorter edit, the music enhances her speech with a magical/romantic/hopeful undertone.
In the attic, when the Childlike Empress tries to get Bastian to speak out her name: He's in doubt if it's really him who could save Phantasia, the German version shows 4 seconds more footage of him where he actually asks if he had the power to do so.
After the windows on the attic burst open, the German version has 12 additional seconds of footage: Bastian is scared and hides under the blanket, a shot of the attic from a distance. of him laying on the mattress and a close shot of him looking out from under the blanket. Plus an additional line for the Childlike Empress, she wonders whether he dares to save them and moans "Help us!".
The Nothing is about to destroy even the Ivory Tower and the terrace already falls apart: The German version shows that in eight shots and a 4 second extra line for Bastian, who says he wish he could do it (helping them), plus one shot of the Childlike Empress, who briefly looks up to the left corner after a bang that scared her. The US version shows only 4 of the 8 shots of the terrace falling apart.
End Credits sequence: The German version ends with two of Doldinger's themes; the US version ends with the Limahl song.

'Turn around, tell me what you seeeee', flying through the clouds as the titles roll. It is on every Christmas, I own it and I simply love it. The Neverending Story is one of the least offensive and nicest family films out there. It has numerous sequels, but it is the first one directed by Wolfgang Peterson that is the best of the three.
Bastian, a young boy lives in a dream world, his father wants him to grow up his school would like him to get his head out of the clouds and is tormented by bullies. On his way into school while trying get away from the bullies he runs into an old book shop. While hiding inside the owner shows him 'The Neverending Story' a huge volume decorated with the Orin the symbol of the child like emprise of the Land Fantasia. When the owner isn't look Bastian takes the book.
This is a beautiful film; it enthralled me as a child and still does as an adult. I have watched over and over again, never tiring of it and always enjoying it. If you have young children or are an old child it doesn't matter this is pure a adventure fantasy for all ages, with colourful characters.

Ace of Base is een Zweedse popgroep, ontstaan in Göteborg, tot 2007 bestaande uit Jonas Berggren (Joker), Ulf Ekberg (Buddha), Linn Berggren en Jenny Berggren, die voornamelijk in de jaren 90 groot succes kende. De band is na ABBA en Roxette de meest succesvolle Zweedse band aller tijden.

Geschiedenis
In 1987 vormde Jonas Berggren met zijn twee vrienden Johnny Lindén en Nicklas Tränk een muziekgroep. Jonas' zussen, Jenny en Malin, kwamen erbij als zangeressen. De band had verschillende namen: Kallinin Prospect (een straat in Moskou), CAD (Computer Aided Disco), en Tech-Noir (Frans voor "zwarte technologie', genoemd naar een disco in The Terminator). Eind 1989 verlieten Johnny en Nicklas de groep. In 1990 kwam Ulf Ekberg erbij en ze veranderden hun naam in Ace of Base. Jenny verklaarde eens dat de reden van de naamsverandering was dat niemand de naam van de groep kon uitspreken of onthouden. In 1990 tekende de groep een contract bij Mega Records en bracht ze Wheel Of Fortune uit. Na verschillende pogingen werd het nummer uiteindelijk een Scandinavische hit en tekende Ace of Base een Europees contract bij Metronome. All that she wants, geproduceerd door Denniz PoP werd toen een hit over de gehele wereld. In de maanden die hierop volgden rees hun ster snel en kregen ze wereldwijde faam. Meer hits volgden, zoals The Sign, dat zes weken nummer 1 was in de Billboard Hot 100 en werd genomineerd voor een Grammy Award. Ook de singles Don't Turn Around en Living In Danger groeiden uit tot successen. Happy Nation, het debuutalbum van de band dat wereldwijd in verschillende versies werd uitgebracht, steeg naar een ongekend verkoopniveau van ongeveer twaalf miljoen exemplaren. Ondanks al het succes werd het imago van de band geschaad door onthullingen dat Ulf lid zou zijn geweest van een neonazigroep in Zweden. Hij heeft deze aantijgingen altijd ontkend.

In 1995 hield de band zich lange tijd stil. Boze tongen beweerden dat de leden een punt achter hun succesvolle band hadden gezet en ruzies met elkaar hadden gekregen. Niets bleek minder waar, want er werd in Zweden in alle rust aan een nieuw album gewerkt. Dat album verscheen aan het eind van het jaar onder de naam The Bridge. De uitgebrachte singles Beautiful Life, Lucky Love en Never Gonna Say I'm Sorry behaalden opnieuw wereldwijd de hitstatus. Toch kon de band het succes van zijn eerste cd moeilijk evenaren. Van The Bridge werden zes miljoen exemplaren verkocht. In de VS wist de band nu enkel met Beautiful Life een top 10-hit te scoren. Het bleek duidelijk dat de muzieksmaak van het publiek snel veranderde en dat de hype rond de groep uitdoofde.

Hoe succesvol Ace Of Base als band ook was, plannen voor een wereldtournee werden telkens op de lange baan geschoven, wat niet in goede aarde viel bij de vele fans. Toen de promotie rondom de The Bridge was afgerond, laste de band opnieuw een lange rustpauze in. De jaren daarna hielden de leden zich wederom op de achtergrond. Pas in april 1998 keerde Ace Of Base terug in de muziekbranche, met het uitbrengen van het derde album Flowers. Op het album ging de band geheel de richting van popmuziek op. De techo-sound van het begin was nergens meer te horen. In de band zelf had ook een grote verandering plaatsgevonden. Linn, een van de twee zangeressen en misschien wel hét gezicht van de band, had zich teruggetrokken als leadzangeres en figureerde nu meer op de achtergrond. Ze hield zich vooral bezig met het bespelen van keyboard en achtergrondzang. Haar zusje Jenny nam de rol van leadzangeres op zich. Waarom Linn ineens een minder prominente rol op zich nam is nooit echt bekend geworden. Er wordt gezegd dat de zangeres een angst voor camera's heeft en gezien het feit dat ze ook nog eens last van vliegangst heeft, wordt vaak gezegd dat ze om die reden niet bij promotieactiviteiten aanwezig kon zijn. Ook zouden de overige leden in een interview gezegd hebben dat Linns achtergrondrol het gevolg was van de aanval die door een Duitse fan in het huis van de familie zelf plaatsvond. Hierbij raakte de moeder gewond en Linn zou hierna steeds schuwer zijn geworden na deze traumatische ervaring en dagelijks last hebben van angstklachten die haar leven een stuk beperkter maken. De fan mag Zweden nooit meer in.
Zelf gaf ze aan de aandacht van de media zat te zijn en ze vond het niet eerlijk tegenover Jenny dat zij het aandachtspunt van Ace Of Base was. Bij veel promotieactiviteiten rondom het nieuwe album Flowers was Linn niet aanwezig. Vaak stond Jenny alleen met Ulf en Jonas op het podium.

Ondanks het voorgaande succes van de band in de VS, was het in eerste instantie niet de bedoeling van Arista (het Amerikaanse label van de groep) om Flowers daar uit te brengen. De sound van de cd werd door hen als te 'bubblegum' bestempeld. Toen echter bleek dat het album in Europa goed verkocht, werd er drie maanden na de originele uitgave een Amerikaanse versie uitgebracht onder de titel Cruel Summer. Het bevatte nieuw opgenomen versies van nummers die al op Flowers stonden, maar met een geluid dat meer gericht was op de Amerikaanse markt. Het album werd geen succes en het is vooralsnog het laatste dat Ace Of Base in de VS heeft uitgebracht.

Fans hadden gehoopt dat de band met het nieuwe album op wereldtournee zou gaan. Opnieuw gebeurde dit niet. Waarschijnlijk had ook de rol van Linn in de band hiermee te maken. Eind 1999 verscheen er in Europa een verzamelalbum van de band: Singles Of The 90s met daarop al hun succesnummers. In Amerika verscheen dit album onder de naam Greatest Hits. Naast oude hits bevatte het verzamelalbum ook een aantal nieuwe opnames, die allemaal als singles werden uitgebracht. De single C'est La Vie (Always 21) werd zelfs een nummer 1-hit in Spanje. Hierna legde de band zich toe op de realisatie van een geheel nieuw album. Opnieuw werd hier in alle rust aan gewerkt. In 2002 verscheen dit nieuwe album onder de naam Da Capo. Hoewel het bij de fans goed werd ontvangen, deed het weinig in de hitparades. De eerste single Beautiful Morning werd een bescheiden hit in Zweden. Daaropvolgende singles Unspeakable en The Juvenile flopten. Hierna gingen de leden van de band zich bezighouden met andere projecten en met hun privélevens. Er werden wel berichten de wereld in gestuurd dat er aan een comeback werd gewerkt, maar deze werd telkens verschoven. Na veel speculaties verliet Linn eind 2007 de band, gevolgd door Jenny in 2009.

De twee overgebleven leden van de band, Jonas en Ulf, gingen in 2010 door onder de naam Ace.Of.Base (inclusief puntjes, die bedoeld waren voor de stijl en het logo), met twee nieuwe zangeressen: Clara Hagman en Julia Williamson. Eerstgenoemde haalde eerder de halve finales in het Zweedse tv-programma Idols. De band tekende een deal bij Universal Music en bracht daarbij het album The Golden Ratio uit dat in 2010 verscheen. Het succes van vroeger werd echter niet meer behaald en Ace Of Base staakte zijn activiteiten. Een reünie ligt niet in het verschiet: volgens Jonas Berggren willen Linn en Jenny niet meer.

Life and its most trivial particulars
8 September – 18 December 2021
8 Ovals,
Brian Griffiths and Frank Kent
This photographic installation by Brian Griffiths and Frank Kent responds to the accumulated histories of the house. The first in a new annual commissioning programme.
The exhibition is the first in a new annual commissioning programme at Van Gogh House, marking 50 years since 87 Hackford Road was found to be the London residence of the renowned Dutch artist.
In the form of a photographic installation across all of the house's eight rooms, the exhibition responds to the accumulated histories and constructed realities of the building, from the early 19th century to the present day. Transposing still life and landscape, everyday materials and objects, sculptors Griffiths and Kent present their carefully staged and situated photographs as moments of focus and narrative. Drawing on themes from Van Gogh's life and work, the two artists' find connections in their personal perspectives whilst exploring his myth and legacy.
Within the composition of each photograph is an open cube, a framing device that presses objects into action and flattens three-dimensional space. The objects are arranged with an improvised formality, the resulting images depicting spaces that appear both imagined and ordered, and often with a comedic edge.

I had just dropped my daughter off at a watercolor class. It was just a few minutes after 9 AM. It sounded like the guy on the radio said a plane had hit the World Trade Center. Then while my son and I were trying to figure out what he had really said – because SURELY he hadn't said what we thought – another announcer said that another plane had hit the second tower.
When I got a promotion into the "Front office" in New York, I had the privilege of working with Lisa Gregg, David Alger, and Ginger Risco.
The next week, there was still smoke hanging over the skyline of Lower Manhattan. We didn't even go that way the next time. "I watched them build those towers in the 70′s," my husband kept saying over and over. It was too painful to even look at the hole in the skyline. In fact, it was a long time before we ventured north after that.
Seven years. I can hardly believe it. I left the firm almost 24 years ago. That's even harder to believe.
Check out this video tribute at www.911archive.org.
Crystal World has several beautiful pieces that include the Twin Towers in the New York skyline. They are perfect gifts for lovers of New York, students of 9/11 history, or collectors of fine crystal figurines. After 9/11, Rudy and his design team decided to retire all Crystal World figurines depicting the World Trade Center, but the decision was reversed because of the requests of dealers and collectors to keep the World Trade Center figurines in the New York Collection. Click on the images for a larger view, and visit CrystalWorld.com for more information about these fine collectibles.
Beautiful figurines for 9-11. Lest we nor forget!
Thank you for sharing – so very important we not forget.
I was still living in Europe at the time when this happened. I have always loved America almost like if it were my own country; I was totally shocked. I really truly that we never forget what had happened on this day for many reasons.
Your article is a great tribute and a terrific reminder not to take things for granted. The figurines are so nicely done too. Great way to remember such a tragic day in our history.
I remember where I was that day. I couldn't believe what I was seeing on the news…such beautiful crystal figurines to honor the twin towers.
Lovely way to remember the tragedy.
Those are so pretty! Awesome… What great reminders they are.
In our lives, we'll each have a handful of events that will be seared in our memories forever with amazing clarity. Where we were, how we felt, what we did. 9/11 is obviously one of those. For those of us old enough, JFK's assassination is another. How fitting that the beauty of those towers has been captured forever in crystal!
These are beautiful figurines to remember that tragic day with.
