On Saturday 31 January, two great nephews of one of Australia's finest war heroes attended a special Open Day to celebrate the completion of new apartments in his memory.
Tubb's View - named after Major Frederick Tubb who received the Victoria Cross in 1915 for his leadership and bravery during the Battle of Lone Pine - was one of the first apartment buildings to be completed at our award-winning residential development, Crimson Hill.
Hamilton Corner, named after Lieutenant John Hamilton – a recipient of the Victoria Cross in 1915 for his ‘coolness and daring example’ during the Battle of Lone Pine – has also been completed. An apartment in Hamilton’s Corner was open to the public for the first time at the Open Day.
The great nephews of Frederick Tubb, Allan and Neil Tubb, flew from their Euroa home in Victoria over the weekend to join Paul Fletcher MP, Member for Bradfield, Jennifer Anderson, Ku-ring-gai Council Mayor, DHA representatives, new residents and neighbours, for their first glimpse of the new apartment buildings.
Allan and Neil Tubb never met their great uncle, but his courage has formed a key part of their family story.
Allan said ‘Four out of five brothers in our family served in the First World War, we are incredibly humbled to be part of such an historic past. We are honoured to share this intimate part of our family history with young Australians, and to carry on the memory of our fine soldiers,’ he said.
DHA Managing Director Peter Howman said the Open Day was a great way to celebrate the first homes for the new community, and to share the project’s commitment to design excellence with residents and community alike.
‘Crimson Hill is a very special project, and it’s very timely that in this year of the Centenary of Gallipoli, we’re able to recognise these men who have formed an integral part of our nation’s history. Today is the first chance the community has had to see the finished product and get a real sense of the community and lifestyle we’ve created here,’ he said.
The next major community milestone to be held at Crimson Hill will be commemorating the Battle of Lone Pine on 5 August 2015.

Before anything else, a grand round of recognition and applause to Josh Culbertson of Avery County Cycles (http://www.averycountycycles.com/) from the NAHBS host city of Denver for having won Best New Builder. Look forward to this one.
If you didn’t have a chance to get out to the NAHBS this year, you’ll likely be hearing in the next few weeks, months, or year just how much there was to miss out on. The wealthy wave of continual innovation that sprang forth from the builders meant that over the three days, there was never nothing to look at and always something to have missed. Walking into the stadium-sized conference hall to the low din of 200 exhibitors and over 6000 visitors who made it to the show despite inclement weather, a person could be nothing less than impressed by the diversity of attendees.
The New Builder’s tables were lined up all against the east-facing wall, ensuring that they received first glance over previous exhibitors. Among these showstoppers was Harvey Cycle Works, sporting a comfortable all-steel built randonneur outfitted with a Schmidt SON28 SL Centerlock Connectorless front hub on stainless dropouts made by Kevin himself.
Bicycle Watanabe granted visitors to their stall with the clean lines of a white steel sportif. Gängl Custom Cycles, a Golden, CO builder with a history since the 1980’s brought forth a selection of notable frames made of all modern building materials from carbon to steel, outfitted with an utterly timeless finish. A significant display was also devoted to the Masi bike ridden in the 1979 Peter Yates film Breaking Away.
Among some of the more intriguing bikes seen at the NAHBS was the selection of machines built from alternative materials. There was a grand group of bamboo machines, but Sanomagic’s pure mahogany bicycles attracted many onlookers who didn’t expect the material. Sueshiro Sano has been building wooden frames since 2008, and in the racing world, he’s been getting results. His city bike and his race-ready road bike (with mahogany seats, mind you) were both equipped with Campagnolo Super Record 11 components.
Dean Cycles out of Boulder, CO came to the plate with a motley group of titanium cycles. I think the build quality speaks for itself when you can look at nothing more than a head tube and it looks like an oil painting. That picture is all the bike, folks. I just took the picture of it. Next, we have the gorgeous handlebars on Cherubim’s winner for Best City Bike.
The gleaming, anodized ‘King’ logo is almost a standard on custom frames these days, so Chris King got center stage at the convention, also showing off King’s line of Cielo frames, one of which we already featured here. Speaking with Kyle von Hoetzendorff, I found out that the Cielo line was actually King’s original line of frames, but in the shadow of the Chris King bearing company success, Cielo went dormant for a while. It was introduced experimentally at the 2008 NAHBS and so well received that they continued building. This year, they brought the whole variety, including an custom-built adventure bike ready for anything the world can and probably will throw at it on this years 2013 Tour Divide, and a cool, clean cyclocross frame built for mud and beer.
The darling of the NAHBS was almost indisputably Rob English’s TT frame, which ended up winning best in show. When it comes to talk about making a handmade bicycle, there are few that can call to definition the commitment that English Cycles can bring to the table. Though Rob did bring other machines with him including another custom-built adventure bike for the 2013 Tour Divide, the TT kept everyone’s attention with its almost alien-like design and ‘surprise’ button shifting on the aero bars. We’ll be seeing more of this bike, but for now get your juices flowing with pictures from the show itself.
Stay tuned, there’s still much more to be seen!

The moment a 'horizontal tornado' rolled in over the skies of Virginia
A cloud shaped like a giant rolling pin or sideways tornado had people craning their necks for a better look in Washington DC yesterday.
The unusual weather phenomenon, known as a roll cloud, stretched in a long line low in the sky at about 7.30am.
As it crept across the region, many people snapped pictures of the odd-looking cloud, which they posted to Twitter and Facebook.
Scroll down for video
Rolling in: The arcus cloud was spotted hovering over the National Weather Service station
It is such an unusual sight that even meteorologists at the National Weather Service's offices in northern Virginia took a picture of it as it loomed over their offices.
The rare cloud type is caused by changes in air temperature and wind, which roll the cloud into its unusual shape, according to the Washington Post.
Although it may have looked ominous, the formation, also known as an arcus cloud, was a sign of nothing more than a few showers.
'Sinking cold air causes warm, moist air on the planet’s surface to climb to higher altitudes, where the moisture condenses into cloud form,' according to Live Science.
Low: The roll cloud appears close to the ground as it drifts over a road in Dulles
Tube: The rare formation looks like a rolling pin stretching across the sky
'Winds from the storm "roll" the cloud parallel to the horizon, creating an effect that looks much like a horizontal tornado.'
The cloud moved quickly over Virginia and the Washington DC area, with some people reporting gusts of wind as it passed over them.
Looming: The cloud looks more like the crest of a wave as it drifts over this Chantilly neighborhood
Signs: It may look ominous but the cloud formation signifies nothing more than a few showers
Roll with it: The odd cloud, seen here in Alexandria, was spotted by many people on Monday morning

WynnBET will be missing out on the Indiana March Madness betting action this year.
The company could have become the state’s 10th online sportsbook on March 25.
Unfortunately, WynnBET missed that target date and didn’t manage to launch until April 1.
First sportsbook to miss launch date
Getting final approval from the Indiana Gaming Commission is the last step for launching an online sportsbook in the state.
WynnBET received that approval on March 23. If it was ready, the company could have started taking bets as early as March 25.
It took an extra week, but at least the company finally made its Indiana debut.
That’s never happened before in Indiana, so it’s a strange situation to be in.
Companies are eager to start taking bets as soon as possible. This is why a sportsbook in the state has never missed its gaming commission-endorsed launch date before.
Right now, WynnBET has market access for a handful of new gambling states. Indiana was the priority out of those new markets.
Not coming online at the earliest possible time wouldn’t matter much if it wasn’t for March Madness.
WynnBET misses March Madness
If WynnBET Indiana‘s earliest launch date was in the middle of July, there wouldn’t be much to talk about here.
However, missing out on one of the biggest sports betting events of the year is significant.
The Super Bowl and March Madness command a lot of attention when it comes to sports betting.
Sportsbooks rush to open for business before both events.
March Madness is particularly important as a betting event, since there are so many different games taking place over the course of a few weeks. Every game is a new opportunity to attract gamblers.
Hitting that March 25 launch date would have brought WynnBET online just in time for the Sweet 16.
The sportsbook missed out on most of the tournament, but at least it managed to get up and running in time for the Final Four.
WynnBet beats Barstool Sportsbook to Indiana
Barstool Sportsbook is opening for business in Indiana sometime before the end of April.
WynnBet’s April 1 launch just narrowly beat Barstool to market.
Barstool might have stolen the honor of becoming Indiana’s 10th online betting app if things had dragged on for much longer.
Barstool could be looking at a launch in the second half of the month, so WynnBET will have a chance to get its feet wet before it has to deal with the extra competition.

Project Spotlight: Mermaid Master Bathroom
Designed by Megan Bishop of Greymark Development + Design, this master bathroom's stunning, multicolored blue fish scale tile in Ogee Drop tile is an out-of-this-world addition to a renovated 100+ year old home. Keep scrolling to learn more from Megan about this project and her under-the-sea-inspired design!
- Design philosophy – No matter what your style preference is, there’s always a high-quality timeless version waiting to be built.
- How I Started Designing – My love of creating art started at a very young age, and developed into a love for all things design. I decided to be an Interior Designer when I was nine, but when I started at Harrington College of Design, I began to pursue my interests in architecture and the building process. I’ve always been perceptive to how things are built, so to combine design and construction into one job was always my goal. After graduation, I started drafting and project managing freelance, while working with custom furniture at the Holly Hunt corporate office. I found Greymark Development about three years after and was able to use my knowledge of furniture construction, drafting, and project management to design and build custom luxury single-family homes.
- I can’t live without – A sketchbook. When I get an idea in my head, I need to draw it out immediately!
Mermaid-Inspired Master Bath, Location: Chicago, IL
How did you get involved on this project?
The clients were referred to Greymark from a neighbor that was a previous client of ours. This project needed a designer and construction project manager that could work through the challenges of renovating a 100+ year old home while making sure the transition from existing home to new was seamless.
What were your design goals for this space?
The clients had a clear vision in mind for the modern renovation to the vintage home. I was able to help by executing their dreams, and suggest the creative details that helped finish the project. The new master bathroom was one of the areas we built new, so I was able to suggest something very different and unique. Our goal was to create a space that showed the eclectic taste of the clients, but still kept the clean lines and light air that runs throughout the house.
With so many fun tile shapes to choose from, how did you land on the Ogee Drop?
I suggested the Ogee Drop shape to the client after she showed us an inspiration photo of a glass mosaic tile that had a similar oceanic feel to it.
We narrowed down the color selection to three different blues until the client suggested adding three more. Using six different colors was a big decision, but the final colors went together so well that I was fully supportive. We originally planned the blue fish scale tile on the back wall of the shower as an accent, but later decided that the entire shower and vanity wall would create more of a statement.
The client was very involved in the process making this a collaboration from start to finish. As the building process went on in the house, new ideas and requirements arose. I was able to adapt each idea and fit it into the home, which lead to each room being very detailed and thought-out.
How did the installation process go? Any challenges? Lessons learned?
Went it came time to install the tile, we were about half way up the wall when the client decided to eliminate one of the colors. Our tile guys were very meticulous and were able to remove the sixth color and arrange the five remaining colors to the new pattern we wanted. They were able to seamlessly work around the brackets for the floating stone shower bench and exact sconce locations above the vanity.
The loss of one color left us short on material, so our tile guys came up with the idea to put the sixth color behind
the spaces where the mirrors were being hung. We needed to keep the tile going behind the mirrors to
support the other tiles in the pattern, so this was the perfect solution. You would never know it’s there!
How was your experience working with Fireclay Tile?
Working with Fireclay has been amazing from the beginning. Their willingness to help through the process of choosing all of the different colors helped us get our order through seamlessly. The Fireclay team is truly unique from any other tile company we’ve worked with in the past.
Why do you love working with tile?
I love tile because it brings depth and interest to any room. There are so many creative applications and uses, it makes any space unique!
What Fireclay product are you dying to use in your next project?
The Greymark team and I are dying to use the glass tiles! They’re such a refreshing take on the once outdated, typical glass. Every color is so beautiful!
Best design advice?
Use the things that have been around you forever, build off of them and turn it into something new, different, and personable. Good design will follow naturally.

A press release from State Rep. candidate Dan Wilbrandt:
DAN WILBRANDT ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY FOR ILLINOIS STATE REPRESENTATIVE IN THE 66TH DISTRICT
West Dundee – Dan Wilbrandt, along with the Citizens for Dan Wilbrandt committee, has announced that he will run for the office of Illinois State Representative in the 66th District in the March 2016 and November 2016 elections.
Wilbrandt, an Assistant State’s Attorney in McHenry County and an elected Village Trustee in West Dundee (Kane County), looks to continue serving the area as members of his family have done throughout both counties in the past.
He announced his candidacy Tuesday evening after being introduced by McHenry County State’s Attorney, Louis A. Bianchi, at a gathering at Emmett’s in West Dundee.
Wilbrandt spoke to a crowd of more than 125.
“With the election of Governor Rauner, Illinois has taken a great step forward in making the critical changes needed in our state,” said Wilbrandt.
“A State Representative from the 66th District must go to Springfield and continue to work with the Governor and members of any party to push forward meaningful reform and begin the financial turnaround in Illinois.”
As a McHenry County prosecutor since 2012, Wilbrandt has pursued justice and worked to make McHenry County’s neighborhoods and roads safer for all residents.
As an elected Village Trustee in West Dundee, he has sought municipal efficiencies by working with other area units of government.
Wilbrandt has also worked to establish stronger financial controls in the Village budget process while enhancing financial transparency and reporting.
He helped to create several public-private partnerships that resulted in over $40 million in investment commitment for the Village of West Dundee.
Wilbrandt has served as the trustee liaison for the police and fire departments and the QuadCom and Joint Emergency Telephone System boards since 2013.
“There are issues facing McHenry and Kane Counties.
“The 66th District needs a State Representative that will represent the entire district. I look to continue my public service to both counties,” said Wilbrandt.
Wilbrandt earned his Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in communication from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
After graduating from the University of Illinois, he earned his J.D. from the John Marshall Law School (Chicago).
Dan has been working for McHenry County since graduating.
Wilbrandt lives in West Dundee with his wife, Nadia.

As noted by The New York Times, iOS and Android users living in Russia no longer have access to legitimate versions of the LinkedIn app. For now, LinkedIn content is reportedly still available for those who have the app installed, but the software was already malfunctioning due to an internet embargo imposed on the service's website last year.
In November, a Russian court found LinkedIn in breach of regulations that require foreign companies operating internet services to keep data pertaining to Russian accounts inside the nation's borders. Though many international internet firms store data on offshore servers, and are thus in contempt of Russian law, LinkedIn was apparently singled out in a rare case of enforcement, the report said.
The Microsoft-owned company said it was "disappointed" in the new development.
"It denies access to our members in Russia and the companies that use LinkedIn to grow their businesses," said Nicole Leverich, a spokesperson for LinkedIn.
While an exact timeline of events is unknown, Apple said regulators asked the company to remove LinkedIn from its Russian App Store about a month ago, the report said. Whether the demand came from a court, or more likely Russia's Roskomnadzor telecommunications regulatory body, is unknown at this time.
The LinkedIn takedown is Apple's second state-demanded app removal to be reported this week. On Wednesday, the company removed the New York Times apps in China for violating unspecified local laws.

ONLY YOU by Lorna Peel is a fabulous romance about trust in relationships under a microscope. In this case, under the ever-hungry, watchful eyes of the paparazzi. The novel encourages a "don't believe everything that you read" philosophy, which is especially important in this age of the Internet. I give it five stars.
Jane Hollinger is a former genealogist-cum-community college professor in London who is still attempting to gain her bearings after a bitter divorce a couple of years prior. Her genealogy course is attended by a bizarre/creepy-looking bloke named Mitch, but the truth is that he is a famous actor, Robert Armstrong, who has been researching an upcoming role while finishing the filming of another. Robert has uncovered a bit of a mystery in his own life and seeks assistance from Jane to resolve it. Through their work together, they build a friendship and share deeply personal information. They also have to deal with the attraction, for which Jane is not quite ready.
Between Robert's ill-advised publicity tactics and the stories printed by the paparazzi, including one paparazzo who impersonated a student to get info about Jane, Jane decides that she cannot handle a relationship in the spotlight. Robert, who is heading off to Ireland on another assignment, begs Jane to give him and their relationship another chance, but she decides against it. Robert falls into a downward spiral of PR nightmarish proportions, and Jane has to decide whether to risk being hurt again by intervening.
I really loved this novel. The length and pace were perfect, and the themes apropos for modern relationships. While so many people have trust issues, not many have to deal with those issues under a microscope. This couple has some serious challenges, and I felt like the novel was so well illustrated on the trust issue. I love that Jane finds her feet and breaks up with Robert before he goes to Ireland. It is such an important move for her and shows amazing personal growth.
I also love how vulnerable Robert is with Jane and how he fights for their relationship. Best of all, none of the character development is plagued with stereotypical, melodramatic fluff that so often ruins a great novel.
I loved how emotional the novel was. I laughed and I even cried a bit. And I especially loved the window into British culture--the language used, the scene descriptions, the industry illustrations. All were fantastic.
Overall, this was a fabulous novel. Put it on your reading list. It will not disappoint.

Can a large-scale solar array also be a work of land art? Officials at the University of Buffalo believe so, and they’ve commissioned landscape architect Walter Hood to design an array that also functions as a new gateway to the southern side of the campus. The university announced today that Hood prevailed over finalists Vito Acconci and Balmori Associates in an invited competition to design a 5,000 solar panel-studded landscape installation that will provide electricity in housing for more than 700 students.
The Oakland, California-based Hood has proposed a fragmented grid, which is meant to recall DNA, supported on posts and suspended over stands of low-maintenance grasses, crab-apple shrubs, ornamental lindens, trees, and an existing creek. The landscape will be accessible to the public.
“We selected our artist, not a specific design. We like how he thought about the project, how it would feather into the existing campus,” said Robert Shibley, the campus architect who helped run the competition. “We think it will humanize and add character to the area.” The site, adjacent to the campus chiller plant, is currently open ground.
Funded through a grant of up to $7.5 million from the New York State Power Authority, the 6.5-acre array will be tied to the university’s power grid, but its design will rise above the banality of most large solar installations, a condition the university was keen to avoid. “We were concerned about turning a big piece of campus into a utility plant,” said Shibley. “Designers haven’t really taken on the iconography of renewable energy, particularly at this scale.”
While Shibley praised the Acconci and Balmori designs, Hood’s more subtle design seemed both poetic and pragmatic. “Balmori was really interested in the iconography of the panels, as an object, whereas Acconci’s design was about the relationship between the panels and the ground plane or hills and water.” Hood’s design, according to Shibley, was about the larger ecological system and the relationship to the campus.
Hood will develop the design through the spring and summer. The university plans to break ground in August and complete the project by this time next year.

Video transcript –
Have you experienced depression in your lifetime? What is Depression and how do we get out of it?
Yeah, I had a bout of depression when I got ill with hepatitis and I had to stay in bed for six months because I was very sick and everything that could go wrong seemed to go wrong and I got depressed. And I went and saw a doctor and they gave me some antidepressants and I took them for a few days and decided that I didn’t like the side effects.
And during that period I ran into a guy that was doing a paper on depression at Murdoch University and I talked to him about depression and he started to explain it to me as something that takes you out of your automatic way of operating in the world and puts you into a more manual mode. Where you can get to look at things more honestly, inside yourself because you tend to approach things with doubt rather than having rose coloured glasses on, particularly about yourself.
And I used that period of time to have a very good look at my own psyche how it was operating what defences were going on inside it what belief systems were creating attraction in it and I started to strip it down more and more.
So I found that depression was very helpful in allowing me to slow down and actually have a look at what I was really up to and it lifted because it was depression caused by what was happening in my life, it was causal. It wasn’t some kind of deficiency in serotonin or whatever and once I started to accept that the things I was losing, was okay the depression lifted.
The depression was brought about by my resistance to what is. I didn’t like that I was losing everything and I went into resistance to it and ended up depressed. But in accepting everything as it was it all lifted.
Acceptance is wonderful.
It allows the mind to really just rest. I hope that helps.

New York Knicks travelled to Boston in the first NBA game to be hosted in the city after the marathon bombings to play the Celtics.
Carmelo Anthony was the star man of that match as he guided the Knicks to a comfortable 90-76 win over Boston Celtics, which sees the team proceed to Game 4 with a commanding 3-0 lead in their first- round Eastern Conference series.
Carmelo scored 26 points for the Knicks, who are on the verge of winning their first play- off series in 13 years. Raymond Felton added 15 points and 10 assists.
On the other side of the coast, Jeff Green led the scoring for Boston with 21 points; Kevin Garnett scored 12 points and added 17 rebounds for Boston while Paul pierce made 17 points after missing six of his first seven shots.
The Boston Celtics started the game on a less convincing note, by the end of the first quarter the Knicks were already ahead by 5 points. They stretched that advantage to 16 points as they led 47-31 at half- time.
New York went on to lead by 21 points, and then maintained their advantage in the second half. Game 4 of the seven games series will be played on Sunday with Boston having everything to lose if they dare fail to bounce back in the fourth game.
It was an interesting game of Basketball until J.R. Smith of the Knicks blatantly elbowed Jason Terry with just seven minutes remaining. The former was ejected and the league governing body will review the incident with a possible fine or ban ahead for the Sixth Man of the Year.
Carmelo Anthony was elated after the game and heaped praises on his teammates.
“Guys are hungry- we really want this, we feel like its right there in the palm of our hands. We came here believing that we could win this basketball game and we did it,” Anthony said.

John Paul II was a gift to the world
The issue: Pope John Paul II's death.
We suggest: The impact of his life will endure.
Karol Wojtyla was a little-known Polish prelate when the conclave of cardinals elected him leader of the Catholic Church in 1978. But John Paul II died Saturday as one of history's greatest popes, leaving behind a list of accomplishments by which all future popes will be measured.
Some 1.2 billion Roman Catholics around the globe -- including a majority of Terrebonne Parish residents -- and many of other faiths are now mourning the death and celebrating the life of this extraordinary world figure.
This 264th pope became one of the dominant figures of the 20th century by relentlessly taking his message of human dignity, respect for life and steadfast adherence to traditional morality to a world undergoing social and technological upheaval.
He was different in so many ways. John Paul II was the first non-Italian pope in 455 years. This vigorous 58-year-old who hiked and skied and spoke many languages and wanted to engage in a conversation with the entire globe was the polar opposite of most people's image of a pope. He quickly began the travels that became a hallmark of his papacy.
John Paul II is given much credit for Soviet communism's collapse in 1989. He inspired his fellow Poles to create the Solidarity trade-worker movement in 1979 after he visited his native country and told them not to be afraid. When he spoke the truth about the shackles communism places on people, he struck fear into the Soviet superpower. An assassin hired by the Bulgarian secret police shot and nearly killed John Paul in 1981, but he recovered, openly forgave his attacker and kept up his crusade.
Young Karol Wojtyla was a member of an experimental theater group in Poland. As pope, John Paul II understood the power of the dramatic images he could create by his actions. During his papacy, he made more than 100 trips to more than 120 nations. Among his travels was a 1987 visit to New Orleans, where many local Catholics attended Masses he celebrated in St. Louis Cathedral and in the Superdome.
John Paul canonized more saints than any other pope. He was the first pope to visit the White House. He was the first pope to visit a synagogue. He was the first pope to visit a mosque. He wrote more than any other pope: 14 encyclicals and a best-selling book, "Crossing the Threshold of Hope." He oversaw the first revision in 400 years of the Catechism that codifies church law and policy. He gave young Catholics his special attention.
His papacy was not perfect; none is. The sexual-abuse scandals of the U.S. clergy could have been handled better. Debate continues over whether potential reform of celibacy laws and women's roles in the church could reinvigorate a shrinking clergy.
For 26 years, John Paul II stood toe-to-toe against the tides of history in the 20th century and usually turned them. He refused to accommodate birth control, abortion, euthanasia, divorce, sex outside marriage, homosexual relations or same-sex marriage. This pope fought what he described as a "culture of death."
It takes an extraordinary man to become a pope, and John Paul was an extraordinary pope. President Bush had it right Saturday in describing this pope as "a hero for the ages." Even those who disagree with some of his decisions must admire his character.
John Paul was a man who knew pain. He lost his mother at age 9, his brother at 12 and his father, the last member of his immediate family, at 19. World War II destroyed any remaining normalcy to life in Poland.
But Karol Wojtyla rose above his personal loss. As pope, he maintained his optimism and dignity to the end despite having faced the physical pain of being shot, of undergoing colon surgery, of Parkinson's disease. Now, Pope John Paul II has passed into history. But the life he led will forever remind us that a generous human spirit is stronger than self-serving human nature.
While we mourn John Paul's passing, the sadness is overcome by our admiration for the life he led. We were fortunate to have had him among us.

Aspiring to introduce Taiwan's beautiful landscapes and old town culture to the Japanese public, the Taiwan Cultural Center in Tokyo will hold a photography exhibition in Japan from Dec. 19, 2019 through Feb. 18, 2020. Co-organized with Taiwan Tourism Bureau, the exhibition will be displaying photos of Taiwan's small mountainous towns, railways, and lantern festivals.
At the exhibition, lanterns with Taiwanese cultural connotations will be showcased through the visual expression of photography. Additionally, these photos of Taiwanese scenery have been further fused with Japanese elements, creating innovative and harmonious cross-cultural works.
During the opening ceremony of the exhibition, a Taiwan Tourism Bureau promotion video that was shown left a lasting impression on the viewers. In the fictitious "News Flash" video, the news anchor reported that Japan is now experiencing a "Taiwan Fever," which is characterized by symptoms such as adding tapioca pearls to everything, sitting down to read books at any location, and using unique body language and hand signals. The witty content received much laughter from the crowd.
According to statistics from the Japan Association of Travel Agents (JATA), Taiwan was ranked first as the top country to visit for five consecutive years. The numbers reveal that Taiwan is the first overseas destination for Japanese high school students traveling for educational trips.
Taiwan's Representative to Japan Frank Hsieh (謝長廷) remarked that there are 268 mountains above 3,000 meters in Taiwan, which is more than the 20 some mountains that exceed that height in Japan. This unique geography of Taiwan has created a diverse ecosystem and the photography exhibition will present the natural beauty of Taiwan and its lesser-known mountainous towns.
Hsieh also promoted Taiwan's annual lantern festival, which will be held in Taichung this year, and invited Japanese tourists to visit during the Lunar New Year holidays.

Have you ever seen those medicine advertisements on your tv that make you wonder who in their right mind would take them? I mean if I get sick I would like to find a medication that will make me better not worse, right?
For some reason I am yet to understand, this evening found me at the lowest I have been in a long time. I felt like I wanted to talk to someone but at the same time I didn’t want anybody to talk to me. I wouldn’t say I was depressed but something was off.
While watching TV I saw the advertisement for Cymbalta and I couldn’t help but laugh. They have such a catchy tagline “depression hurts, Cymbalta can help.” The ad has people looking quite content and you would probably be convinced that Cymbalta is the best thing for a depressed person… that is until you get to the part about the side effects.
“Some of the most common side effects of Cymbalta can include nausea, drowsiness, and dizziness. In many cases, side effects are minor and may be easily treated by you or your healthcare provider. However, there are several side effects that you should report to your healthcare provider, including a fast heart rate, suicidal thoughts, and hallucinations. Some of the rare Cymbalta side effects include canker sores, high cholesterol, and acne.”
So… I need not explain why I would not reccoment Cymbalta to anyone!!
If you are depressed, how is a pill that will increase thoughts of suicide helping??? Maybe its just me but I dont see that as s positive thing. If you already have it flush it down the toilet and find something else to help you. Get a friend? Get some music? Make yourself a cup of tea?
I strongly reccomend listening to some soothing music. Now, I understand that Soothing differs from person to person so I’ll be more specific. Something more along the lines of Tarrus Riley than Vybez Kartel. But then again, you never know.
Here’s one song I played more than a few times today 🙂
I Love Love Love Love Love Tarrus Riley.
And I am feeling better, without Cymbalta :p


text: Spherical and globular bushy cells of the AVCN receive large auditory nerve endings specific for high fidelity neural transmission in response to acoustic events. nerve inputs had been identical over the rostral and caudal AVCN. Cross sectional area, postsynaptic density length and curvature, and mitochondrial volume fraction were similar for axosomatic auditory nerve terminals, although rostral auditory nerve terminals contained a greater concentration of synaptic vesicles near the postsynaptic densities. These data demonstrate regional differences in synaptic organization of inputs to mouse bushy cells rather than the morphological characteristic of the cells themselves. Introduction All input from the auditory nerve terminates in the cochlear nucleus from the brainstem , which is split into ventral and dorsal divisions grossly. Further divisions from the ventral cochlear nucleus into anterior and posterior subdivisions have already been made based on the bifurcation zone from the auditory nerve that ascending and descending branches task ; however, subdivisions predicated on cytoarchitectonic explanations have already been suggested [2 also,3]. Complete characterization from the cell types within each Pimaricin reversible enzyme inhibition department can be fundamental for understanding structure-function interactions in auditory pathways. Such characterizations should be done on the species by varieties basis, since structural and physiological variants often reveal the auditory specializations that progressed to optimize an microorganisms success within its ecological market. As well as the apparent physical variations between, for instance, cats and mice, what is important to your analyses may be the difference within their audible rate of recurrence range. Whereas pet cats listen to right down to around 100 Hz, mice usually do not listen to very much below 1000-2000 Hz and their selection of level of sensitivity stretches up to 80-100 kHz [4,5]. This comparative insufficient low rate of recurrence hearing continues to be linked to a decrease in pathways that make use of connected cues [6,7]. The organizations of some bushy cell subtypes with low rate of recurrence hearing [8,9] shows that there may be complications when comparing bushy cells across varieties having different organic histories. Primary cells from the anteroventral cochlear nucleus (AVCN) are usually classified relating to cytologic criteria established for the cat [8,10], a low-frequency hearing species relative to Pimaricin reversible enzyme inhibition the mouse. Two types of AVCN principal cells, the spherical and globular bushy cells (SBCs and GBCs), receive huge auditory nerve endings, called endbulbs of Held and modified endbulbs, specialized for precise temporal firing [11,12]. These high fidelity synapses are essential for coupling neural activity to acoustic events, and are involved in auditory processing tasks for which temporal precision is critical, such as encoding amplitude modulation [13,audio and 14] localization cues [15,16]. Some writers have SORBS2 noted that we now have few SBCs in the rostral AVCN of mice , and they differ to look at in comparison to SBCs within other mammalian species . Specifically, the Pimaricin reversible enzyme inhibition somata of mouse SBCs are smaller, have more ambiguous shapes, and frequently lack a perinuclear necklace of Nissl material. Recent physiological studies in mice have Pimaricin reversible enzyme inhibition called into question the clear distinction between SBCs and GBCs in mice, suggesting instead a sort of continuum of response properties determined by the inputs to the cell with exemplars of both response types at either end of the spectrum [18,19]. Indeed, there are examples of classic SBCs and GBCs in mice [2,20], but a detailed quantitative characterization of regional differences in bushy cell morphology in the mouse is usually lacking. Differences in synaptic inputs may be most predictive of functional characteristics of the cell. A wide variety of response types may be associated with AVCN cells of a particular morphology [21,22]. Mouse bushy cells may be parsed into subtypes based on the patterns of inputs and projections rather than distinct cell body morphology. Physiological studies have characterized bushy cells into two subtypes based on the distribution of response properties [23,24]. Cao and Oertel (2010) estimate that mouse SBCs receive input from 1C2 auditory nerve fibers and GBCs receive input from 3 or more auditory nerve fibers, suggesting that there is at least some morphological differentiation in inputs. Response properties of cochlear nucleus neurons tend determined by the scale, number, type, and site of auditory nerve inputs aswell as postsynaptic and presynaptic energetic area features, and intrinsic membrane properties . Inhibitory inputs may influence bushy cell replies also, though these results might differ across neurons with bushy cell-like replies [26,27]. Modulatory.

Puducherry, Mar 27 (UNI) Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) legislator Rajaraman today created a flutter when he, along with three supporters observed a 'dharna' near the main gate of the legislative Assembly today, demanding action against a policeman, who allegedly assaulted him.
With the budget session in progress, security personnel were intructed not to allow anyone inside the premises without a valid pass.
When Mr Rajaraman and his supporters walked into the assembly premises, the head constable on duty, Babu, attached to the SIGMA wing, asked the DMK legislator to show the passes of his supporters, on which he picked up a quarrel with the police constable leading to fisticuffs.
Following the incident, Mr Rajaraman sat on a dharna preventing the entry of vehicles into the assembly premises. Welfare Minister M Kandasamy and several legislators rushed to the spot in support of Mr Rajaraman and criticised the attack on him.
Senior police officials held talks with him and assured to initiate action against the head constable following which Mr Rajaraman called off his stir.
The incident echoed in the House with all the members, including ministers, barring those evicted remaining inside the assembly hall even after the Hosue was adjourned.
When Speaker announced the adjournment of the House for the day after Mr Rangasamy concluded his budget speech, the members raised the issue and wanted action against the policeman. They remained inside the hall even after Speaker and Chief Minster left.
Both the Speaker and Chief Minister held talks in the chamber of the former and invited the members inside after ten minutes. They asked Mr Rajaraman to give a written complaint and assured action.
Mr Rajaraman gave a written complaint, which was forwarded to the Director-General of Police.
Meanwhile, SSP Srikanth held talks with Rajaraman and arrived at an amicable settlement into the issue.

Sowell presents a devastating critique of the mind-set behind the failed social policies of the past thirty years. Sowell sees what has happened during that time not as a series of isolated mistakes but as a logical consequence of a tainted vision whose defects have led to crises in education, crime, and family dynamics, and to other social pathologies. In this book, he describes how elites,the anointed,have replaced facts and rational thinking with rhetorical assertions, thereby altering the course of our social policy.

"This is as compelling an explanation as any for the seemingly disproportionate amount of condescension and politically correct invective that emanates from the liberal side of the political spectrum toward the conservative opposition."--Scott McConnell, Wall Street Journal "Mr. Sowell's eye is sharp, and everyone who has been up against progressive orthodoxy will find his or her own candidate for Most Annoying Liberal Kiss-Off Award."--Suzanne Garment, Washington Times "As always, Sowell's analysis is well informed and displays a great deal of that increasingly uncommon quality, common sense ... In the largest sense, The Vision of the Anointed is a book about the perils of ideology -- those dazzling intellectual-moral constructions that seduce the unwary into ignoring the way the world works for the sake of dreams about the way it must."--Roger Kimball, The American Spectator
Thomas Sowell has taught economics at a number of colleges and universities, including Cornell, University of California Los Angeles, and Amherst. He has published both scholarly and popular articles and books on economics, and is currently a scholar in residence at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University.

If you don't know the name, Alex Beyrodt is the current guitarist in German power metal band Primal Fear, as he's been since 2011, but he founded Voodoo Circle three years before that with Primal Fear's bass player, Mat Sinner, who's also still the main man in Sinner, a band that's now forty years young. I should emphasise that, if you're expecting a similar heavy sound to those two, you'll be disappointed, as this is their side band which allows them explore their hard rock influences.
This is their sixth album and it's a reunion of sorts, as it marks a return for David Readman, the band's original vocalist, who left in 2016 but came back to the fold this year, as did Markus Kullmann, after a six year gap as their drummer. All these folks are busy elsewhere, Readman best known for singing for Pink Cream 69 since 1994 and Kullmann the current drummer in Sinner. I'm starting to get the feeling that there's a massive house somewhere in Esslingen shared by twenty musicians who, between them, comprise about thirty different bands in many permutations.
I have to wonder what Voodoo Circle would sound like without Readman, because he puts on his very best David Coverdale impression throughout. Wikipedia tells me that Beyrodt's hard rock influences included Deep Purple, Rainbow and Yngwie Malmsteen, in addition to the one that simply cannot be avoided, which is Whitesnake. Almost everything here is Whitesnake, though it's a neat cross between the old bluesy Whitesnake and the later slick multi-platinum Whitesnake.
The guitars are metallic, far more like Adrian Vandenberg than Bernie Marsden, except on This Song is for You, which is the other way around (with some Carlos Santana for good measure). The vocals are bluesier, though, and the flow is melodic and commercial without feeling like it's always pandering to American radio. I like the balance, especially on songs like Magic Woman Chile, with an quiet and overtly bluesy section and the overlay of gospel-infused backing vocals that wrap it up. Only occasionally do the band ramp up a MTV video vibe and knock out songs like Straight for the Heart or Trouble in the Moonlight.
The band seem like they're having a lot of fun here and they'd be fantastic in a small venue, especially playing funky rockers like the title track that, at points, brings to mind both artists as diverse as Vow Wow and Lenny Kravitz. These are momentary, though, as there's only one song that doesn't end up a candidate for a Whitesnake album and that's Devil's Cross, which sounds like Coverdale guesting on a keyboards heavy nineties Black Sabbath track. Well OK, there's also a Purple-esque intro to Children of the Revolution, but then it goes back to Whitesnake.
There are no poor songs here, though a few of them do play far too happily in the hall of clichés. Eyes Full of Tears is full of clichés and Straight for the Heart is as unoriginal lyrically as the title suggests. It wasn't difficult to visualise Tawny Kitaen in the video for Trouble in the Moonlight when Readman sings, "Bad girls keeping out of trouble in the moonlight." Then again, it's hard to find a Whitesnake song that doesn't feel lyrically clichéd, so I should praise the songwriters for coming up with variants like Magic Woman Chile and Devil with an Angel Smile.
At the end of the day, this is what is. These musicians are consummate professionals and they do their job very well indeed but, if you're not looking for veteran European power metallers channelling the Whitesnake obsession of their youth into a side band, they're not going to convince you. If you're on board with the idea, this is pretty damn good.

- How did the Enlightenment influence human rights?
- How does Thomas Jefferson use John Locke’s social contract ideas in the preamble of the Declaration provide two examples?
- How has Locke changed the world?
Locke is often regarded as the father of contemporary “liberal” thinking, having pioneered concepts such as natural law, social contract, religious toleration, and the right to revolt, all of which were crucial to the American Revolution and the United States Constitution. the United States Constitution The United States of America’s ultimate law is the Constitution of the United States of America. It replaced the nation’s original constitution, the Articles of Confederation. It defines the national framework of governance and originally consisted of seven articles. Constitution of the United States (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution of the United States) The United States Constitution was then followed by Wikipedia.
Similarly, How does John Locke influence today’s society?
Locke makes a case for what we now refer to as contemporary liberal democracy. He established the present focus on constitutionalism, which describes the interaction between the political system and the bureaucracy in part. Finally, he played a key role in the evolution of contemporary executive and legislative authority.
Also, it is asked, How did John Locke’s ideas affect our country?
Many thinkers impacted and inspired the founders of our nation in the 17th and 18th centuries. For example, John Locke felt that our basic rights as humans should be life, liberty, and property, and that if the government could not ensure these rights, the people should be able to get rid of them.
Secondly, What types of ideas did John Locke contribute to society?
He is often considered as the father of the British Empiricism school of thought, and he made significant contributions to current views of limited, liberal governance. In the fields of religion, religious tolerance, and educational philosophy, he was also significant.
Also, How did John Locke’s natural rights change society?
However, if a government persecutes its citizens with “a continuous train of abuses” over a long period of time, the people have the right to reject that government, change or abolish it, and form a new political system, according to Locke. To give a basis for revolution, Jefferson borrowed John Locke’s notion of natural rights.
People also ask, How did Locke impact the government?
His political philosophy of governance by agreement of the governed as a way of safeguarding the three inherent rights of “life, liberty, and estate” had a significant impact on the founding papers of the United States. His works on religious tolerance established the separation of church and state as an early paradigm.
Related Questions and Answers
How did Enlightenment ideas influence society and culture politics and government?
In terms of emphasis on democratic ideas and institutions, as well as the formation of contemporary, liberal democracies, the Enlightenment brought political modernisation to the west. Enlightenment philosophers aimed to limit organized religion’s political dominance in order to avoid a new period of intolerant religious warfare.
How are John Locke’s ideas reflected in American government?
Locke established the foundations of a valid government in his Second Treatise of Government. A monarch obtains power by the agreement of the people, according to Locke. The government’s job is to preserve the people’s inherent rights, which Locke defined as “life, liberty, and property.”
How did John Locke influence Enlightenment?
In his acknowledgment of human rights and equality, critique of arbitrary power (e.g., the divine right of monarchs), promotion of religious toleration, and overall empirical and scientific temperament, John Locke’s thought inspired and mirrored Enlightenment ideas.
What would you say is Locke’s main idea?
For this, Locke proposes the judicial and legislative branches. What do you think Locke’s major point is based on these two passages? Because all persons are created equal, Locke thinks they should be treated equally.
How does natural rights build a free society?
Natural rights foster virtue by establishing the social circumstances that enable individuals to develop and thrive. Citizens are free to work on the most essential project of all: themselves, since they are protected from coercion and deception.
How natural rights affect U.S. today?
The rights of several property, freedom of contract, first possession, self-defense, and restitution are among the essential freedoms that all human beings need to achieve pleasure when living in close proximity to others, as identified by natural rights analysis.
How did John Locke influence education?
In many respects, he pushed for the first versions of student-centered learning, the whole-child approach to education, and differentiation as an educational goal.
Why would John Locke’s ideas inspire a revolution?
People are born free and equal, according to Locke, with three basic rights (life, liberty, and property). Locke’s idea had a significant impact on contemporary political thought, which had a direct impact on the American Revolution. The American Revolution was defined by the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution.
What influence did John Locke have on American government quizlet?
Locke also felt that rulers should defend rights and that authority derived from the agreement of the governed. Governments were formed to preserve people’s rights, which he referred to as a social compact. People pledged to follow the government in exchange for the government protecting their rights.
How did Enlightenment ideas influence society and culture?
What impact did the concepts of the Enlightenment have on society and culture? The concept that emotions were crucial to human growth affected society and culture. It also promoted ideals like the abolition of slavery and women’s rights, which were simpler to transmit thanks to the printing press.
Why is the Enlightenment important for the development of society?
During the late 17th and 18th centuries, the Enlightenment aided in the development of secular, scientific, and humanistic attitudes of mind, which were vital for the development of sociology. As a result, it aided sociology’s development as a logical and scientific discipline capable of critical scrutiny.
How did John Locke influence the development of democracy?
In addition, Locke maintained that if the government failed to defend our inherent rights, the people had the right to replace it. Locke’s theories had a significant impact on the development of democratic concepts. In composing the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson leaned largely on John Locke’s ideas.
All sides employed social contract theory throughout the antebellum and Civil War eras. Enslavers used it to justify state succession rights, Whig party moderates defended the social contract as a symbol of government continuity, and abolitionists found support in Locke’s natural rights views.
Which of the following was one of John Locke’s most influential ideas?
John Locke (1632–1704), a political philosopher, is one of the most significant thinkers of the modern era. He defended the concept that mankind are by nature free and equal against assertions that God had created all people inherently subservient to a king in the Two Treatises of Government.
Which philosopher had the greatest impact?
Locke, according to Hans Aarsleff, is “the most important philosopher of contemporary times.”
In layman’s terms, Locke’s social contract theory states that government was established by the people’s consent to be ruled by the majority, “(unless they explicitly agree on some number greater than the majority),” and that every man, once he reaches the age of majority, has the right to either continue under the government they were born into or to leave it.
Why did Locke think it was important to prove that innate ideas do not exist?
This source of mistake and deception, Locke argued, could be removed if it could be shown clearly that inherent concepts do not exist and that good use of one’s natural abilities was sufficient to account for all of one’s knowledge.
What influence did the ideas of John Locke have on the Declaration of Independence?
Locke is well known for declaring that “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Property” are the rights of all men. Thomas Jefferson changes this line in the Declaration of Independence to say that all men have the right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” “Individualism” and “individualism” were combined by John Locke.
What idea did John Locke advocate for the role of a government?
The finest sort of government, according to John Locke, is one that has limited authority, protects natural rights, is recognized by all citizens, and can be overturned by the people.
What does it mean to be free in society?
A free society is defined as one in which people behave fully on their own will. A free society is one in which individuals are free to speak anything they wish.
What does it mean to have a free society?
A spontaneous society is a free society. It grows out of individual behaviors that adhere to the standards that encourage peaceful cooperation. Political authorities do not impose it from on high. In a free society, the government has a relatively restricted function.
How did the Enlightenment influence human rights?
Liberty referred to religious freedom, freedom of the press, and freedom from oppressive government (torture, censorship, and so on). Voltaire, Montesquieu, and Rousseau were Enlightenment authors who inspired ordinary readers, politicians, and even rulers of state all around the Western world.
In the Declaration of Independence’s Preamble, how does Thomas Jefferson use John Locke’s social contract ideas? Jefferson recognized that man had inherent rights, such as “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” “All men are created equal,” Jefferson believed.
How has Locke changed the world?
Locke, often regarded as the father of modern “liberal” philosophy, pioneered concepts such as natural law, social contract, religious toleration, and the right to revolt, all of which were crucial to the American Revolution and the United States Constitution that followed.
John Locke’s influence on society is undeniable. His ideas were the foundation of the United States Constitution, and his thoughts had a profound impact on modern government.

Alberta unions will fight UCP efforts to turn Alberta into “Alabama North”
EDMONTON – Unless major amendments are made to Bill 32 during this week’s session of the Alberta Legislature, a large coalition of Alberta unions will launch a legal challenge to Jason Kenney’s draconian new labour bill on the grounds that it violates key democratic rights enshrined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
In meetings Friday, leaders from most of Alberta’s major unions agreed that Bill 32, the so-called Restoring Balance in Alberta Workplaces Act, is unconstitutional and represents a clear and present danger to the workplace interests and democratic rights of working Albertans.
“Many people remember the famous old western, ‘The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.’ Well, if Bill 32 was a movie it would be called ‘The Bad, The Even Worse and The Unconstitutional,’” says Gil McGowan, President of the Alberta Federation of Labour, who chaired the meeting of union leaders and labour lawyers.
“This Bill moves Alberta far outside the Canadian mainstream when it comes to rights and protections for workers. It tips the balance of power outrageously in favour of employers, both in the workplace and on the political stage. And it actively attacks democratic rights guaranteed by the Canadian constitution. This law will make Alberta look more like Mississippi or Alabama than a Canadian province; and we will not allow it to stand.”
The unions say Bill 32 is bad because it will spell the end to overtime as we know it for non-union workers; it’s even worse because it will allow employers to essentially opt out of the minimum workplace standards set out in the Employment Standards Code; and, it’s unconstitutional because its new rules on union dues and picketing contravene the rights to freedom of association and freedom of expression guaranteed by the Charter.
“With Bill 30, Jason Kenney’s controversial health care bill, the UCP is trying to Americanize our health care system; and with Bill 32, they’re trying to Americanize our workplace laws,” says McGowan. “We’re not going to let them get away with this on either front.”
All of the 25 public and private sector unions affiliated with the Alberta Federation of Labour are committed to challenging the constitutionality of Bill 32 in the courts. They will be joined in their efforts by Unifor, Canada’s largest private sector union.
For a more detailed understanding of why Alberta unions are launching their Charter challenge, see the AFL’s list of “top 6 most dangerous sections of Bill 32” released last Thursday.

Orland Park resident and curious CPA Bill Healy describes himself as a World War II history buff, but he recalls a moment not long ago when his enthusiasm for the subject outstripped his knowledge of it. He was out with some friends after a game of golf, he says, and one of them brought up German prisoner of war camps in the suburbs. Bill was shocked! He’d never heard of these before, so he hit up Curious City with this question:
Where were German POW camps located around Chicago during World War II?
Bill’s question screamed for a visual treatment, so we put together this annotated map that shows the camps’ locations and a bit more about them. Below, we also provide some context to make sense of it.
But with Bill’s enthusiasm as our guide, we kept a lookout for interesting stories about life in and around the camps. We turned up several: A few were sad, a few were uplifting and a few had even grabbed headlines in decades past. Each is a reminder that Chicago’s connection to World War II didn’t just involve sending young men and women abroad; political and personal dramas unfolded at home, too.
German POW camp locations
The main camp was Fort Sheridan, with 1,300 POWs housed there from 1944 to 1945. Fort Sheridan also served as a sort of processing center and distributor of some 15,000 POWs, with prisoners being sent to smaller “branch camps” throughout the Midwest, a handful dotting Chicagoland.
Although nearly 425,000 POWs came to the United States during World War II, 370,000 of them were German. Many were captured while fighting in German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel’s Afrika Corps.
We brought them to the U.S. for several reasons: First, it was too expensive provide food for prisoners held overseas. Also, camps were overcrowded in Europe, and our ally Great Britain asked for our help. Lastly, POWs could help fill the labor shortage in vital industries such as farming.
In the Chicago area, another few hundred were based in the Sweet Woods Forest Preserve near south suburban Thornton. They stayed in military-style barracks constructed during the Great Depression by the Civilian Conservation Corps. The Thornton site later housed a Girl Scout camp and even a high school.
Estimates suggest that between 75 and 250 POWs worked at Arlington Fields, south of Arlington Heights. Prisoners there were assigned to work at the United States Naval Air Station at Glenview. Also in Glenview, nearly 400 POWs were based at U.S. Camp Skokie in 1943. They worked in nearby orchards and farms, as well as the Naval Air Station. The facility was built by the Civil Conservation Corps and became a military police post before housing the German POWs. After the war ended, most of the facility was demolished, but one was preserved and housed a Girl Scout camp in the 1960s.
The stories: Why Rudolf Velte returned 50 years later
Rudolf Velte was a German POW who was held at Camp Pine during the end of World War II, from 1945 to 1946. He had fought in German Field Marshal General Erwin Rommel’s Afrika Corps before he was taken prisoner by the French. He escaped. Conditions were abysmal, he said: “There was not much to eat and drink and very bad medical care, leading to bad illnesses.” Velte ended up turning himself in to English soldiers. From there the American army took over and brought him to the states.
Curious City’s Edie Rubinowitz went to Des Plaines learn more about this POW who picked carnations and made a special delivery more than fifty years later. She also discovered tapes that caught Velte recounting his story to (and being translated by) an American cousin, Art Bodenbender.
The stories: Reinhold Pabel’s escape to Uptown
(Press play for slideshow. Press paper icon to see captions)
Not all German POWs had fond memories of their imprisonment in America. Reinhold Pabel’s experience was not as idyllic as Velte’s. Yes, Pabel did get to take courses he wanted to — he learned Persian, for example — but he said the Nazi and anti-Nazi tensions ran high in Camp Grant in Rockford, Ill. Prisoners were forced to pick sides and those who were anti-Nazi could face beatings by the Nazis.
Pabel was also not enamored with the U.S. government’s efforts to “de-Nazify” prisoners. The audio piece below tells the surprising story of how Pabel learned about the American way of life on his own. (Vocal reenactments courtesy of Peter Spies)

Bosnia and Herzegovina mark the 24th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide in which over 8,000 Bosnian Muslims – mostly men and boys – were killed.
Former Bosniak commander Naser Oric was on trial in Sarajevo on charges that he killed three Serb prisoners while defending Srebrenica from Serb attacks during the 1992-1995 war.
The United Nations has failed to prevent war and fulfill peacekeeping duties many times throughout its history. Millions of people around the world have been killed and displaced since the UN was founded in 1945.
Ratko Mladic, former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic and ex-Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic are accused of forming a "joint criminal enterprise" to create a Greater Serbia by ridding the territory of Bosnian Muslims and non-Serbs.
In 1993, the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia was formed in the wake of the massacres in Prijedor. It was to hold those most responsible for the violence in the region to account. Yet many are dubious about its achievements.
Even as the Serbian president says his country should look to the future after Ratko Mladic's conviction, many Serb war veterans say their former commander didn't deserve to be punished.
The judgement in Ratko Mladic's trial has not brought catharsis for survivors and victims' families. It has also failed in establishing a greater understanding of the crimes that transpired in Bosnia in the 90s.
Survivors of the 1995 Srebrenica genocide and human rights organisations welcome the sentencing of former Bosnian Serbian commander Ratko Mladic to life imprisonment after he was found guilty of genocide and war crimes in the Bosnian war.
Mladic was the Bosnian Serb army commander in the 1992-1995 Bosnian war. The UN war crimes tribunal found him guilty of 10 of 11 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Mladic's lawyers say he will appeal the verdict and sentence.
Ratko Mladic was charged with 11 counts of genocide including the 1995 slaughter of some 8,000 Muslims in Srebrenica. His verdict by The Hague is being keenly watched in the Balkans.
As the trial of the Butcher of Bosnia comes to a close, genocide denial still thrives. Now some fringe elements are revering war criminals as heroes. Can there be justice for those who have had to wait for more than twenty years?
Ratko Mladic is accused of committing war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity during Bosnia's 1992-1995 war.

Here is a fish gyro from our Gyro Bar:
Fish Gyro Bar
Greek-seasoned, pan-fried Tilapia…Seasoning: Curry powder, Cumin, Sea salt and pepper, and lemon juice
lettuce and tomato
Tzatziki Sauce…Greek yogurt blended with 2 cloves garlic, half a cucumber, fresh mint and lemon juice
Roasted beets and pine nuts
We have realized that we use beets a lot in our dishes. Speaking of "beets", er "beats"…Erica's latest celebrity encounter was with one Evander Holyfield in New Orleans. See below:
Our second meal was also a fish inspired greek dish. For this dish we used salmon seasoned with salt, pepper, dill, and topped with a square of butter. As a side, we chopped zucchini (because it looks like cucumber and we didn't have cucumber) and baby carrots. This was all covered in foil (which makes for an easy cleanup) and baked in the oven at 350 degrees for around 20-25 minutes. Make sure the fish is cooked thoroughly.
So what about fish skin? Usually I eat whatever comes off on my fork and leave any skin that sticks to the plate behind. But I have often wondered about the skin. Is it healthy? Is it even edible? I did a little research on fish skin and it turns out that almost all fish skin's are edible and packed with lots of nutrients. For example salmon skin has lots of omega 3 fatty acids which is absorbed into the skin from the fatty layer of the fish just below the skin. However, if the fish was living in polluted waters prior to it's greek debut, the skin may be harboring chemical pollutants that can be harmful in large quantities. Just FYI.
Because hummus is a must have side/appetizer in any greek meal, we decided to make some.
Hummus: 1 can chick peas (drain most of juice, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, garlic salt, and pepper to taste, and a large spoonful of tahini paste). Blend until smooth.
Top fish with Tzatziki sauce and devour! Yum!!

For the first time in 30 years, there is a woman play-by-play commentator for the NFL. To say I am one proud woman right now would be an understatement. To see women in such a male-dominated field that I thoroughly love to continue to break stereotypes is truly amazing. Beth Mowins is showing to little girls of this upcoming generation that truly anyone can call football games.
Unfortunately, there are people in this world that feel that women can't be just as knowledgeable or even more knowledgeable about sports, specifically football, than a man. "A woman can't call football. She's never played the sport."
Then say that to the many men in the field that haven't played a sport past the age of 14. There are PLENTY of men in this field, some of my colleagues and friends, who haven't played a sport since they were in middle school. However, because they're men, they won't get statements like Beth is getting or any female sports reporter for that fact.
But let's get away from the negatives. This is a massive ceiling that women in this field have broken through, finally. There's still a long way to go, but everything starts with baby steps. Look at CBS Sports having the first all-female run sports show, including producer and director. Doris Burke has become a massive name that people associate with the NBA. We're making strides.
Some day, I would love to see a female NFL play-by-play and color commentator. I would love to see the same in the NBA. The MLB made strides with Jessica Mendoza. I would love to see a bigger presence of women in the NHL. There's still so much more that we as women and as sports reporters that we can accomplish. For now, we must give Beth Mowins the much deserved thank you for making a massive step towards the future.
Let's keep breaking ceilings ladies, in all fields.

Mud-wrestling enthusiast Jules Bending hopes desperate consumers will pay extra for “old style” bulbs
With an EU ban due to phase out traditional light bulbs, Glastonbury estate agent, Julian Bending is stockpiling them to sell to “desperate” consumers in 2012, at prices up to £60.
“We have been stock-piling normal lightbulbs for some time in a warehouse, actually a farmers shed, at a secret location just beyond the Mendip Hills,” says Bending, of attention-seeking estate agent The Real Ralph Bending.
The European Union has banned the manufacture and sale of 100W incandescent “filament” bulbs, in favour of the energy saving fluorescent bulbs which use 80 percent less energy and last many times longer than the older technology – but traditionalists such as the Daily Mail have criticised the move. 60W incandescent bulbs are set to go the same way in 2011, and all incandescent bulbs will go in 2012.
Bending claims to have over 6,700 bulbs at the location, which he expects to sell for £40 to £60 each, as supply diminishes. He expects to sell them to women who “like the look of themselves” in traditional light, and to others who claim the energy-saving fluorescent bulbs give them migraines.
The “underground” movement to sell the banned bulbs could be led by climate change denier David Bellamy – although at the moment, Bending has only “approached” the famed botanist.
Bending has previously got media attention for “honest” newspaper property adverts featuring descriptions such as “original and grim late Seventies conversion” and gives mud wrestling precedence over properties on his site.

Very few college professors are forced to use trigger warnings in class, according to an online survey of College Art Association and Modern Language Association members.
Out of 808 who responded, less than 1 percent said their college or university had adopted a trigger warning policy. Eighty-five percent said in the survey that students had never asked them to use trigger warnings, and 93 percent did not know of any student-initiated efforts at their school to require them in class.
Without a formal policy, 12 percent said they used trigger warnings regularly, while another 11 percent said they tried them out "several times" and 34 percent utilized warnings "once or twice." Another 42 percent said they've never used a trigger warning.
The non-scientific questionnaire was developed with help from the National Coalition Against Censorship, and distributed using SurveyMonkey. The results were first presented at the annual conference of the American Association of University Professors last week, and were subsequently provided to The Huffington Post.
Trigger warnings are short statements used prior to discussing material about sensitive subjects that may bring up personal trauma. The concept of trigger warnings has existed for a century, but became increasingly popular in blogs over the past decade. As more hyper-connected millennials have arrived on college campuses, some have asked for their use ahead of potentially disturbing and "re-traumatizing" content.
Yet, the survey of faculty -- which the organizations say is the only bit of data on the use of trigger warnings in academe -- suggests a trigger warning policy for professors would actually be an anomaly.
Joan Bertin, executive director of the National Coalition Against Censorship, said they did the survey because so far, there were only anecdotal reports to rely on. She cautioned the survey is a "snapshot of people who chose to be in the picture."
What the survey showed, Bertin said, was that if faculty is using trigger warnings, it appears that "professors do it for reasons for self-protection." Of the 626 who said they did not provide trigger warnings, 11 percent responded that "once or twice" a student complained about the lack of warning to the professor's administrators.
"We are more concerned from an academic freedom point of view for untenured or adjunct faculty that if they don't do warnings and a student complains, that's the end of their professional career or their contract," Bertin told HuffPost.
Indeed, a majority -- 63 percent -- said trigger warnings would have a negative effect on academic freedom, compared to 7 percent who said it'd be "positive." Forty-five percent similarly believed their use would have a negative impact on classroom dynamics, while 17 percent theorized a positive result and 28 percent said they didn't know.
