MoPOP Picks: Our 10 Favorite Jimi Hendrix Artifacts
MoPOP has the largest collection of Jimi Hendrix artifacts in the world. At nearly 6,000 objects, that's a lot!
I joined the team in 1994 during the early planning phases for the museum, which means I was lucky enough to be here while we were collecting many of the amazing pieces in our Hendrix collection.
People often forget that everything in our museum started with Jimi Hendrix. Our founder, Paul G. Allen, was enamored with the guitarist from the first time he heard Hendrix's 1967 debut album Are You Experienced? and wanted to create a museum dedicated to him.
There are so many cool objects related to Hendrix in our collection, each one a testament to his multi-faceted talents and endless curiosity. It's hard to narrow down my favs, but here are ten that I absolutely love!
WISH HENDRIX HAPPY BIRTHDAY▸
1. Handwritten lyrics for "Love or Confusion"
Jimi Hendrix wrote this early version of the lyrics for his song "Love or Confusion" in late 1966 in now-faded red ink on one side of a sheet of Hyde Park Towers hotel stationary. He and his girlfriend Kathy Etchingham lived in the hotel from soon after he arrived in London on September 24, 1966 until December 6, 1966. These lyrics evolved into the final version of "Love or Confusion," which was recorded at De Lane Lea Studios on November 24, 1966 and released on the Jimi Hendrix Experience's debut album, Are You Experienced? on May 12, 1967.
According to Kathy Etchingham, the cartoon on the reverse side of the lyric sheet was primarily illustrated by Hendrix, while she advised on what to include and added elements of her own. Based on the content, it is likely the cartoon was completed early to mid-1967, several months after Hendrix had penned the lyrics on the opposite side. It features several details that defined Hendrix at the time, including his Bob Dylan-esque hair, military jacket, Iron Cross necklace, heeled boots, and Marshall amplifier stack. It emphasizes Hendrix's rising status in the London Scene, making comic reference to managers Chas Chandler and Mike Jeffery, road manager Gerry Stickells, and musicians Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Zoot Money, the Small Faces, the Who, and the Beatles.
2. Signed contract for "Stone Free"
On October 23, 1966, a week after the Experience had returned from their short French tour with Johnny Hallyday, the Jimi Hendrix Experience went to De Lane Lea Studios in London and recorded their first song, "Hey Joe." Manager Chas Chandler and Jimi Hendrix knew that "Hey Joe" would be the A side of the Experience's first single, but there was a little debate about the B side.
Hendrix was intent on recording a cover version of Wilson Picket's huge hit, "Land of a Thousand Dances," but Chandler argued for Hendrix to write and record his own song, to establish the guitarist as an original songwriter, and to maximize the profits if the song was a success. "Stone Free," a blues-inflected, upbeat rocker, was the result — Hendrix's first original composition with the Experience. Released on December 16, 1966, the single marked the start of an enduring fascination for many Londoners with the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
3. Octavia Prototype Effects Pedal
This Octavia prototype (written here as "Octavio") was created by British electrical engineer Roger Mayer (b. 1946) for guitarist Jimi Hendrix. The Octavia added a distorted harmonic to Hendrix's guitar, recognizably on his songs "Purple Haze" and "Fire".
When a guitar is played loud enough through a powerful amplifier, the interaction can create a continuous sound loop. This "feedback" has been a challenge since the dawn of amplification, but over time guitarists such as Jimi Hendrix learned to control it. On January 11, 1967, Hendrix met Roger Mayer, who had been building early distortion pedals, or "fuzz boxes," for guitarists such as Jimmy Page, Big Jim Sullivan, and Jeff Beck. Knowing that feedback often produces a note an octave higher than the note actually played, Mayer designed a fuzz box for Hendrix, called the Octavia, that not only produced a heavily distorted sound, but also contained a filter that emphasized this octave harmonic.
This new pedal was first heard on the solo for Hendrix's early hit, "Purple Haze," and throughout "Fire," both recorded in February 1967. Mayer continued to experiment with the Octavia circuit, rapidly iterating and producing over a dozen for Hendrix from 1967-1969. The Octavia prototype here features a wedge-shaped enclosure which did not appear until April 1968.
4. Handbill for the Walker Brothers tour
This tour was Hendrix's first high-profile tour since moving to the United Kingdom in September 1966.
The Walker Brothers were a pop group from Los Angeles that had several Top 10 UK hits and were the teenage pop fan's dream. On March 31st, they launched a month-long farewell tour, along with Cat Stevens, Englebert Humperdinck, and others – groups that didn't really match Hendrix and his bombastic Experience.
To illustrate the sonic mismatch, Hendrix was quoted in Disc and Music Echo on April 1, 1967: "'I can just hardly wait,' says the cool Mr. Hendrix about a tour on which he and his wild Experience will fit in about as well as a trio of San Francisco hippies at a vicarage tea-party."
Although the Jimi Hendrix Experience had released two successful singles, "Hey Joe" and "Purple Haze" by the time of this show, they continued the tour as the opening act. This arrangement did not sit well with Hendrix's fellow artists because any performer who followed his short but intense set often had to endure the audience chanting "Jimi! Jimi!" in hopes that Hendrix would return to the stage. At the Finsbury Park Astoria the night before the Gaumont show, Hendrix shocked Walkers' fans by grinding into his amplifiers and lighting his guitar on fire. The music tabloids had a field day with Hendrix's stage antics, which only added to the guitarist's growing allure.
5. Fender Stratocaster smashed at Saville Theatre
Jimi Hendrix smashed this painted Fender Stratocaster guitar on June 4, 1967, to commemorate his final show in London, before leaving England to play at the Monterey Pop Festival two weeks later. On the back of the guitar he painted a poem that incorporates the lyrics to his song "Love or Confusion," along with an allusion to his guitar as a loving sacrifice.
He started off the legendary evening set with a rendition of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," to acknowledge the Beatles' album debuting at No. 1 a week earlier. For the last song, "Are You Experienced?," Hendrix took this guitar from backstage that he had painted that day and at the end of the song smashed it. The two pieces on display here are all that remain: an instrument, an art piece, a sacrifice.
According to Hugh Nolan, writing in the June 10, 1967 issue of Disc and Music Echo, "Then, to a smashing, ear-splitting "Are You Experienced?" Jimi was handed a guitar from the wings—a guitar he'd painted in glorious swirling colours and written a poem on the back dedicated to Britain and its audiences—and, bathed in a flickering strobe light, crashed the guitar about the stage and hurled what was left of it to eager souvenir-hunters in the audience."
6. Original cover art for US version of 'Are You Experienced?'
The Jimi Hendrix Experience's debut album, Are You Experienced? was released in the UK on May 12, 1967, on Track Records. The US version was released on Reprise Records on August 23, 1967. This original cover art with a color key overlay for the US version was designed by British photographer and designer Karl Ferris (b. 1948).
Throughout 1967, between constant club gigs, tours, press interviews, and television appearances, Jimi Hendrix recorded songs for his debut album, Are You Experienced? It was released one week after the debut of the band's third single, "The Wind Cries Mary." The album soon shot up to #2 on the charts, behind the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
While the album launched in the UK and Europe in March of 1967, the Experience's explosive US concert debut at the Monterey International Pop Festival in June convinced Reprise to release the record in North America, albeit with some track changes. The label requested the addition of the band's early single hits: "Hey Joe," "Purple Haze," and "The Wind Cries Mary," but omitted "Red House," "Can You See Me," and "Remember," because Reprise felt US audiences weren't as receptive to blues songs.
For many fans who weren't able to see Hendrix live, the album was a revelation. The Jimi Hendrix Experience in concert was about dynamic showmanship, raw instrumentation, and pure volume. For Are You Experienced?, the recording studio became not only a method of documentation, but a powerful tool in composition. With it, Hendrix created a new paradigm in psychedelic sound.
7. Photograph of Jimi Hendrix and his sister Janie backstage at the Seattle Center Arena
In 1961 Hendrix left Seattle, the city where he grew up, to join the Army. Over the next several years, he traveled extensively, played guitar around the US with some of the biggest rhythm-and-blues stars of the era, then moved to the UK where he quickly rose in prominence in the London music scene. By early 1968, he was a bona fide superstar, touring the US with his group, the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
On February 12, 1968, Jimi Hendrix returned to his hometown of Seattle for the first time in seven years. He was greeted by his father Al and brother Leon and was introduced to his new stepmother Ayako "June" Fujita Hendrix. That evening, Hendrix answered questions from reporters and posed for photos, including this one, taken by Ulvis Alberts, with his new sister Janie, backstage at the Seattle Center Arena (now the site of Marion Oliver McCaw Hall).
Despite being arranged one week prior, Hendrix's concert sold out, a testament to the guitarist's popularity and hometown appeal. Journalist Patrick MacDonald of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer wrote of the performance: "A Seattle boy who left this city some seven years ago … returned last night to a truly triumphant homecoming." The next morning, Hendrix attended a short assembly at his former school, Garfield High School, before flying to Los Angeles. His Seattle homecoming lasted less than 24 hours.
8. Jimi Hendrix's personal diary
Jimi Hendrix penned his first entry in this diary on March 19, 1968, when he recounts a meeting with musician Joni Mitchell in Ottawa, Canada and mentions how struck he was by her "heaven words." Over the next 12 entries, Hendrix comments on his concert performances, buying new gear, meeting old friends and new, and the changing American social fabric. He wrote his last entry on August 7, the day the Experience sat for a photo shoot with Linda Eastman, who later married Paul McCartney of the Beatles. Hendrix says of Eastman: "She loves me. She is beautiful. She loves me. Tomorrow she will be gone again but she never gets away."
9. Vinyl LP box set of Handel's Messiah
This 1967 vinyl record box set of George Frideric Handel's Messiah, conducted by Charles Makerras (b. 1925) with the English Chamber Orchestra, is one of 139 records once owned by Jimi Hendrix and now part of MoPOP's permanent collection. Hendrix's musical tastes were diverse, and his record collection showcases a diverse selection of musical genres, including rock, folk, classical, jazz, R&B, country, blues, and Indian classical music.
In July 1968, Jimi Hendrix moved to 23 Brook Street in London. The flat was next door to the house where composer George Frideric Handel lived nearly 230 years prior. According to Kathy Etchingham, Hendrix's girlfriend at the time, when Jimi found out that Handel had lived there, he went out to a local record shop and bought a copy of Messiah, possibly this one.
10. Fender Stratocaster played by Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock
Jimi Hendrix played this 1968 Olympic White Fender Stratocaster electric guitar most famously at the Woodstock Music and Arts Fair in Bethel, New York on August 18, 1969.
While Hendrix owned many Stratocasters in his lifetime; this Strat seemed to be a favorite. He purchased it new at Manny's Music in New York City, most likely in the fall of 1968, and played it at several shows between October 1968 through September 1970. The guitar has survived relatively unscathed given Hendrix's aggressive playing style, but upon close inspection there are many indications of use, including small indentations along the body, which could be from Hendrix's rings as he played. There is also worn finish on the headstock near where the strings attach, where Hendrix may have wedged a cigarette during performances.
As he was left-handed and left-handed guitars were hard to find at the time, some modifications needed to be made to this right-handed guitar, including reversing the strings and the bone nut near the headstock, switching the position of the strap pin from the longer horn to the shorter horn, and then playing the guitar upside-down.
The 1969 Woodstock Music & Art Fair was one of the decade's defining cultural events, and Jimi Hendrix's extraordinary, unprecedented rendering of "The Star-Spangled Banner" was a defining moment of the festival. With this guitar, Hendrix evoked the majesty of America while also summoning the howling undercurrents of dissonance and violence echoing the Vietnam War and the nation's deep racial struggles.
Shortly before his death on September 18, 1970, Hendrix gave this guitar to Mitch Mitchell (1946-2008), the drummer for the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
Need something to look forward to? Plan your next visit! Hope to see you at Jimi Hendrix's 80th birthday celebration!

The Confession of Lily Dare Off Broadway
By Renowned Gender Bender Charles Busch
By: Edward Rubin - Mar 07, 2020

Production stills by Carol Rosegg.
In or out of drag, whether on stage or page, the 65-year-old actor playwright Charles Busch, with some forty years of show business under his belt, is a force to be reckoned with. His signature calling card is in his allover inventiveness, his humorous tongue-in-cheek playfulness, looking outrageously spectacular in a gown and wig, and most importantly, a straightforward honesty in everything he touches. In short, Busch is entirely believable even when he is not.
The Confession of Lily Dare, Busch's latest outing, as both playwright and lead actress, packed them in at the Cherry Lane Theater in New York City. The show which closed on March 5,was a humorous, fast-paced dish of delicious camp.
The year is 1950, and Confession opens and closes at Lily Dare's graveside with prostitute Emmy Lou (Nancy Anderson) and Mickey (Kendal Sparks) paying respects to their friend. Told in flashbacks, the play traces the vertiginous rise and fall of Lily Dare channeled by Charles Busch in the melodramatic style of Hollywood's pre-code films.
Many of these films were peopled by woman, both fallen and not, who, in dire straits (most often because of a man), were forced to give their children up for adoption or turn to the streets for a living. Lily Dare, with talent to spare and luck mostly on her side, until not, is one of these larger-than-life women.
Confession, with more plot undulations than a snake on LSD, casts an unblinking eye on the innocent sixteen-year-old Lily. She is festooned with a million fabulous costumes (Jessica Jahn) and wigs (Katharine Karr). She was kicked out of a Swiss convent after her mother was killed in an avalanche. She found a home in San Francisco at her Aunt Rosalie's (Jennifer Van Dyck) bordello, and became a popular cabaret performer.
Further gilding his Lily, we follow Lily's higgledy-piggledy trajectory as an unwed mother who puts her daughter Louise (Nancy Anderson) up for adoption. She is an owner of a string of highly successful money-making brothel but ends up in jail taking the rap for Blackie (Howard McGillin), over the theft of diamond earrings. Of course, as the man that done her wrong, he gets his comeuppance, this at the murderous hand of a vengeful Lily.
As far as the mixture of Lily Dare's acting styles employed by Busch in this play, he begins by donning the innocent demeanor of silent-film stars Mary Pickford or the Gish sisters. As Lily continues to age over time, she jumps right into emulating the highly stylized walk, talk, and facial expressions of yesteryear's cinematic queens of camp, Mae West and Joan Crawford.
"Pirate Joe," the big show-stopping number has Busch conjuring up nostalgic memories of Dietrich. I could just see him (if only!) coming downstage and singing "Falling In Love Again."
While the ensemble cast, most playing several roles, are simply wonderful. Jennifer Van Dyck, solidly inhabits each of her four extremely diverse, scene-stealing characters. Her crowning moment is as Lily's grown-up, opera-singing daughter Louise. Van Dyck lip-syncing "Siempre Libera," Violetta's aria from La Traviata, brings the house down.
Cast: Charles Busch (Lily Dare), Nancy Anderson (Emmy Lou), Christopher Borg (Louis, The Baron, Dr Carlton, Maestro Guardi, Priest), Howard McGillin (Blackie Lambert), Kendal Sparks (Mickey/Piano), Jennifer Van Dyck (The Baroness, Mrs. Carlton, Louise)
Technical: Set Brian T. Whitehill, Costumes: Jessica Jahn (for Charles Busch) & Rachel Townsend; Lighting: Kirk Bookman, Sound: Bart Fasbender, Wigs: Katherine Carr.
The Confession Of Lily Dare opened on Wednesday, January 29, 2020 in New York City at the Cherry Lane Theatre 38 Commerce Street. It closed on Thursday, March 5, 2020. Written by Charles Busch and Directed by Carl Andress. Running Time was 2 hours with one intermission.
"You know how African-Americans hate white people in black face? Even talented ones who boosted African-Americans? I wonder now how women in the Me-Too Movement feel about male drag "artists" from Busch on down. Especially when they play women as evil, silly, stupid, too loud and aggressive, etc.?"

"Great review! for a Great and enduring artist, Charles Busch! Long may he blossom, and long may Edward Rubin be Fast Eddie!"

'Off The Edge Of The Earth...' proves wild ideas can be unified under the command of AvS. The new album flags the band's pedigree with, 'In This Together', a monstrous opening statement of good intent behind lyric, "No time to think / just music". The breezy grooves of 'Chosen One' and 'Stars Pt. II' conjure French house inflections, while 'Unity' and 'Tired Of Pretending' channel sophisticated art-pop; the bouncy 'Diana' unites '70s psych-discovery with giddy indie, and the synth funk of 'You Got To Stop' and loony tune discochant of 'Bongo Plan' push the record into cosmic territory. Now on Vinyl!

I have to admit, I have a hard time committing… When it comes to perfume that is. I love to wear new scents all the time, and the type of scent that interests me varies greatly depending not only on where I'm going, but also what kind of mood I happen to be in that day.
I was really excited when I recently stumbled across Scent Trunk and learned that I could have 3 different samples of Indie and niche perfumes from across the globe shipped to my door monthly. Perfect for a commitment-phobe like me who loves to try new things all the time! My husband, Paul, is always looking for something new to wear as well. And Scent Trunk offers Men's, Women's and Gender Neutral subscription options; so there's definitely something for everyone.
Each box of samples is hand-picked for a subscriber based on the notes that they express a preference for when setting up their profile. For myself I selected fresh and floral, and for Paul I chose fresh and woodsy.
You can go back to your profile at any time to adjust your preferences based on what you loved and what you didn't in previous samples. And if you do happen to fall in love with one scent in particular, you won't have to search the world to find it! Scent Trunk also has an online store where they sell full sized bottles of the products offered in their sampling service.
What type of notes do you prefer? Let us know in the comments!
Although our boxes were packaged separately they both arrived at the same time, and it was really fun to get something in the mail together!
We first opened the men's box and were impressed with the way that it was packaged. The box came with 3 fairly large sample bottles tucked inside a velvety drawstring pouch, a price list for the full sized versions of the samples, and card for each one that gave a description, the top, middle, and base notes contained in it, the longevity, and also the sillage (the distance in which it lingers in the air). Both of us loved two of the three samples from the first sniff, and it was great being able to reference the cards to decipher which notes it was that we found enjoyable and which made the third scent unpleasant to us. As we put the box away Paul expressed to me that he was really surprised by how much he liked the perfumes that he was given and asked how much a monthly subscription costs. At $18 a month he thinks it's a great deal considering the generous size of the samples, and he loves the idea of getting something new each month.
The women's box is packaged much the same way as the men's, with the only difference being the color of the box. Already knowing that I am difficult to please when it comes to scent on any given day, I was not surprised that on that first day I only loved one of the scents that were chosen for me, Wild Rose by Thorn and Bloom. I wore it for a couple of days and then decided to give the others another chance because I was in the mood for something different. One of the other samples, Object Celeste by Volnay, was just the right fit for how I was feeling that day and has temporarily become my new favourite. I'm still not in love with Miyako by Auphorie because it has more of a woodsy aroma than I prefer, but I love having a variety of choices. It wouldn't surprise me if one day soon I find just the right occasion to wear it.
As part of our holiday gift guide celebrations, Scent Trunk is gifting one of our readers with a 3 months subscription to their service. Enter below for your chance to win!

Samsung Galaxy Phones – How do you stop the whatsapp message preview appearing in the notification bar at the top but still have a badge number notification to tell you how many messages you have within the app?
so many features to customise your whatsapp on the new version yet this simple feature to decide what type of notification you want is still so dificult.

As the name suggests, these horses come from the Camargue, a wetland area at the mouth of the River Rhône. The Camargue horse is one of the oldest breeds in the world. At birth they are coloured dark brown or black, but turn white around the fourth year.
Horses of the Camargue run wild - or at least semi-wild - in small herds consisting of one stallion, his mares and progeny. Its a rugged horse, lively but have a good nature and are particularly suited for riding.
They will travel long distances with ease and are capable of enduring extreme weather and extended periods without food. Their broad hooves are evolutionary adaptions to their wet environment.
Their riders are called gardens, where the name is coming from the name of the region / department, Gard in French county Languedoc-Roussillon. They are using the horse to herd their cattle. The Camargue horse is a herbivore. Teeth are adapted for eating grasses and herb.
The horses' behaviour is regulated by the amount of food available. When it is scarce the Camargue horse may graze for up to 22 hours a day. When it is plentiful, it will graze only at dawn and dusk.


We were so pleased with the excellent turnout of forty Teslas (give or take), plus support from the City of Denton, Rayzor Ranch and Tesla Motors.
Our own video of the event, thanks to Insolation Station, with all of the speeches, all of the cars and the requisite quadcopter footage required to capture so many cars!
And press coverage from Greensource DFW!
You didn't hear any engines revving at the latest big auto gathering in Denton. That's because it was a Tesla event, and Teslas, as even we who don't drive one know, are silent, awe-inspiring vehicles from the future. They're mean green machines. It was only natural that about two dozen of them converged on the city of mean green UNT Jan. 30 to inaugurate the first Tesla Supercharger installed in North Texas.
AtlasObscura did an enjoyable article on the "secret growth" of the Tesla Supercharging network. Our Denton Ribbon Cutting was featured!
For Tesla owners in Texas, this parking lot had become a key destination, a launching point that would allow them to make it from their current, Texas-centric network of Superchargers to the more extensive system that's spreading quickly across the country.
Not that long ago, when a new Supercharger station opened up, Tesla Motors would hold these ribbon-cutting ceremonies. But the North Texas group had organized this one themselves; Supercharger stations are opening up at such a fast pace that the company can't fête them all. For Tesla owners, though, a new one is still a cause for celebration, because each station can represent a major shift in how they can use their cars—by charging the battery in 20-30 minutes, these stations made it possible for electric vehicle owners to travel further and faster than they ever could before..
Also, let's not forget our unofficial opening / dry run back in November!

Life Without Archie
Remember Archie? From the comic books?
Yeah, he's gonna die.
They're killing off Archie Andrews in issue 36 of "Life With Archie," a comic book about Archie and the gang after they graduated Riverdale High.
Now, I gotta admit that I was never a fan of the comic books. Superman. Batman. Spiderman. Archie. Richie Rich. None of 'em.
I don't know why. Sure, if I saw one on the wood slat benches at the redneck barber shop I got took to as a kid, I'd pick it up and read one. It was either read that or the Thunderbolt. I made the right decision.
But still, I never read a lot of comic books. Don't know if I ever bought any. Might have got someone to buy some for me, but I'm not sure. Comic books weren't that big a deal to me. And, neither were the characters in the comic books.
But, they sure were -- and are -- to many people. And, now they're killing off Archie.
Is that a good thing? Should they be killing off comic book characters? Archie always kinda struck me as a non-serious comic character. Sure, they've tried to make social commentary over the years, particularly recently. But, should comics -- non-serious comics, that is -- try to be serious? It's like one of those A Very Special Blossom shows.
And, perhaps a better question would be, who would be a better comic book character to kill off? And don't say Caspar the Friendly Ghost. That's cheating.
Let's go with that question instead. What comic book character would you like to see killed off?

How about this guy? That'd be a comic book worth paying for.

Burt April 9, 2014 at 8:59 AM
Archie is the perfect choice. He is a RedHead and I suspect he may be Irish.
Jimmy April 9, 2014 at 9:21 AM
Hey, watch it Burt. My new grandson is a redhead and almost 1/2 Irish.
BTW, I didn't do comics as a kid either, Basil. My hobbies killing Englishmen, River Dancing and getting crew cuts.
I did like Zoro on TV in the 50's, however. Had a cape, mask and sword - the whole bit, at age 6.
Oppo April 9, 2014 at 9:51 AM
Didn't they make a cartoon of Mohammad? If you killed that cartoon character off, would that get you jihaded exponentially?
Reggie. He's really got it coming.
Vaktatunnen April 9, 2014 at 10:26 AM
Good riddance. Die, Archie, die.
The Pep Comics Group had such titles as Madame Satan, The Fireball, Captain Commando, The Hangman, Fu Chang, the International Detective, and The Black Hood. Oh yeah, and Archie. Archie was obviously the perpetual outsider in a universe of superheroes and sinister badasses. Look at this as mercy.
Burt April 9, 2014 at 11:55 AM
The big question: Will Obama try to 'blame Bush' for Archie's demise?
VelvetElvis April 9, 2014 at 11:58 AM
Captain Planet.
OK, OK, not technically a comic book character, but he IS a cartoon character.
Much like Joe Biden.

Sart (Sardes) Ancient City
Artemis Temple of Sardes
Take your Bible with you; Join our Izmir and Sardis Biblical Cities Tour. Sardis was the capital of the ancient kingdom of Lydia. Visit Sardis church of revelation"The Church that is Spiritually Dead" referred to by St.John in the Book of Revelations (3:1-6) in Sardis. You will visit the Temple of Artemis, Gymnasium, and Jewish synagogue. Then we will return back to Izmir. Izmir (Smyrna) was one of the Seven Churches of Revelation (Rv 2:8-11) mentioned in the Bible as (the suffering church). St. Polycarp was martyred in Smyrna. We will visit St.Polycarp Church, Ancient Agora, Kadifekale Castle, Konak Square, Clock Tower, and Kemeralti Bazaar.
Route 1 Sardes Ancient City
Flight to from Ankara to Izmir. Sardes, which is the beginning of the famous King Road in history and is the capital of the Lydian state, is located in Salihli district of Manisa. Although the name of the 3 thousand-year-old settlement is called Sart, many of us pronounce it Sardes. It was also pronounced Sardis in Greek, Sfard in Lydian and Sparda in Persian. Sardes, identified with wealth beyond imagination as the first state minted money, also had a great reputation in the trade. Its wealth is not limited to these, but the gold powders brought with them by Pactolos (Sart) river had an important place in the Lydian Union. The Royal mounds (Bintepeler), located 7 kilometres north, were also a symbol of the wealth and power of the Lydians. These extracted gold powders were processed in gold processing houses. Sardes was also among the leading cities of the ancient world. The city was impeccable in urban planning and was surrounded by the largest defensive wall outside Mesopotamia. The structures of this important and rich Lydian City are shops, library, Colonnaded Street, Synagogue, Gymnasium, bathhouse, Temple Of Artemis and Golden purification houses. We may never have predicted that we would encounter majestic ruins in the ancient city of Sardes. But although it is the Gymnasium that fascinates the visitors, it can be said that the synagogue and the Temple of Artemis also take their place among the structures that deserve such praise.
Sardes Ancient City
Route 2 Artemis Temple of Sardis Ancient City
When you move inwards from the ancient city of Sardes to the other side of the main road, you will come across the Temple of Artemis, one of the largest and best-preserved temples in the world. Originally dedicated to the goddess Artemis, the building looks to the west like in Ephesus and Magnesia. The two pillars of the temple have survived until today without any damage. Only the main building (cella) of the temple, which was started to be built in the Hellenistic period, was completed at that time. The main room built in the Roman period is divided into two. With the door opening to the east, it was transformed into a double main room building. Probably, this situation was made to be alongside the Artemis cult as well as the Imperial cult. The interior columns were removed and the 8.5-meter tall statues of the emperors and their wives were placed in the east main room. In the same period, the construction of outer columns was started but could not be finished. Although the temple of Artemis, where rituals and ceremonies were held, was used for 800 years, it was never completed. The church, made of rubble stone and brick next to the temple, was built in the 4th century after the abandonment of the Artemis temple and was used as a Christian place of worship until the beginning of the 600's.
Sardis Ancient City
Route 3 Kadifekale Castle
The crown of Izmir: Kadifekale. After a long period of silence, the castle, which became invisible in the 20th century, surrounded by buildings, has the distinction of being the calmest and most beautiful place in Izmir with the partial repairs and landscaping works carried out in recent years. Kadifekale, which was established at a point that dominates the gulf in the centre of Izmir, was built by Lysimachos, one of his generals, on the instructions of Alexander the Great in the 3rd century BC. Established at an altitude of 186 meters above sea level, Kadifekale is located on an area of 6 kilometres. The north and east walls and five towers of the castle, whose east and south walls were completely destroyed, survived. The height of the towers is 20-35 meters. There is a large arched cistern from the Byzantine Period and the remains of a mosque in the castle.

UFC Fight Night 6.5
Ortiz vs. Shamrock 3: The Final Chapter was a mixed martial arts event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on October 10, 2006. The event took place at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida and was broadcast live on Spike TV in the United States and Canada. The two-hour broadcast drew a 3.1 overall rating, with the main event of Tito Ortiz vs. Ken Shamrock 3 drawing a 4.3 rating. Quoting MMA Weekly's Ivan Trembow, "That breaks down to an amazing 5.7 million viewers for the Ortiz vs. Shamrock fight. This shatters the UFC's previous record for the number of people watching a UFC fight at any given time." The overall ratings record would not be matched until UFC 75 on September 8, 2007.
The main event featured the third and final encounter between Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock. At UFC 61, the two fighters met for a second time, with Ortiz reigning victorious via technical knockout; however, critics contend that the fight was stopped too early by referee Herb Dean. At the UFC 62 weigh-ins, UFC President Dana White announced the third Ortiz-Shamrock encounter. Tickets went on sale on Tuesday, August 29, and sold out very quickly in two days.

A South African court adjourned hearing on Thursday in a culpable homicide case involving former president Jacob Zuma's son, Duduzane, until August 23.
Lawyers for Duduzane said they hoped to agree on a start date once they had studied the state's evidence.
The charges relate to a fatal 2014 car crash in which Duduzane's sports car smashed into a minibus taxi.
Duduzane denied any wrongdoing in the culpable homicide case.
NAN reports that Duduzane was released on bail after appearing in court in leg-irons on Monday on charges of corruption, the biggest scalp so far in an attempt to get to the bottom of the graft allegations that swirled around his father.
Duduzane, who returned to South Africa on July 6 to attend his brother's funeral, was released on 100,000 rand (7,439.76 dollars) bail with his case adjourned until January 24, 2019.
The charges, which he plans to contest, relate to corruption allegations made by deputy finance minister Mcebisi Jonas, lawyer Rudi Krause told Reuters without providing further detail.
Mr Jonas said in 2016 the Guptas offered him the position of finance minister shortly before former president Zuma sacked then finance minister Nhlanhla Nene, in December, a move that sent markets into a tailspin.
Mr Zuma and the Guptas have denied any wrongdoing.

Your donation goes directly to support our mission of providing a Thanksgiving turkey to those in need.
Join US for Distribution Day!
POOR ROBERT'S MISSION WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2015 TO CONTINUE THE CHARITABLE WORK THAT BOBBY ABBO BEGAN IN 1967 WHEN HE AND A FEW YOUNG PATRONS OF HIS FAMILY'S ROMA RESTAURANT DECIDED TO RAISE MONEY FOR A LOCAL CHARITY, LITTLE SISTERS OF THE POOR.
In light of Bobby's great fundraising success Poor Robert's Charities, Inc. (PRC) was formally established as a nonprofit corporation in 1981. In 1997, coincident with the closing of the Roma, the Poor Robert's Charities annual golf tournament was replaced with a cocktail party reception at Columbia Country Club. Through Bobby's large network of generous friends, PRC's annual fundraising increased meaningfully over the coming years.
Virtually all of the proceeds from these events were used to provide cash and in-kind grants to a large variety of nonprofit organizations which Bobby and his Board of Directors closely vetted for worthiness. PRC distributed turkeys for the Thanksgiving holiday and funded costs to purchase transportation vehicles for charitable organizations in the Washington DC area.
In April 2014 Bobby passed away from leukemia at the young age of 69, an event that shocked his vast group of beloved friends and family. With Bobby's approval, members of the board approached a "next generation" of individuals to continue the Poor Robert's charitable efforts, and they met with enthusiastic interest. Zachary Huke, Bobby's nephew, assumed the role of President and a new Board of Directors comprised of next generation members and some of the "old guard," By 2014 a new company by the name of Poor Robert's Mission obtained 501(c) (3) tax-exempt status from the IRS and the Mission was on!
Importantly, all of this good work continues to be accomplished without incurring anything but de minimis overhead expense. Like its predecessor company, PRM is run entirely through volunteers so financial donations to the company go right to those who need it.
Thanks to Bobby Abbo's inspiration and the generosity of PRM's benefactors, friends, supporters and volunteers, Poor Robert's Mission is off to a great start, and we look forward to growth and prosperity of fundraising activities and grant-giving programs in coming years.
Zach is the President of Poor Robert's Mission and is responsible for coordinating and executing all of its activities and efforts. As the nephew of Bobby and Marcia Abbo, he was eager to pick up the mantle of Poor Robert's Charities and continue its good works!
Zach currently serves as Vice President and Treasurer at CIH Ventures, Inc., a real estate firm with a focus on affordable housing in Washington DC. He lives in Potomac, MD with his wife and four children.
As the Secretary of Poor Robert's Mission, Molly is responsible among other things for keeping official records of the organization, including minutes of meetings and all organizational documents.
As the daughter of Paul McNamara, who was very close with Bobby, she grew up in the Poor Robert's family, Molly has always been drawn to the simplicity of the organization and was eager to join the board of Poor Robert's Mission at its founding.
Molly is married to Paul Hugo and they have three children. She hopes to pass on the same spirit of giving to her own kids; her eldest joined the Annual Turkey Distribution this past year!
Julie Burke serves on the Board of Directors of Poor Robert's Mission. Julie also grew in the Poor Robert's family - her father, Vince, was very close with Bobby.
Julie currently is the Upper School Dean of Students at Holy Child high school in Potomac, MD. Previously she worked at the Washington Jesuit Academy. Julie earned her degree from Washington College.
Luke Joyce serves on the Board of Directors of Poor Robert's Mission. His mother and father were close friends of Bobby and Marcia Abbo.
Luke currently works in the commercial real estate industry. He holds a degree from George Washington University in Washington DC.
Jim started working with Poor Robert's Charities in 2002. Initial duties included volunteer recruitment and logistics for the turkey distribution. In 2013 Jim joined the Board of Poor Robert's Charities to assist with the vetting process of perspective recipients. He continues his service on the board of Poor Robert's Mission today.
Jim and his wife Alyssa reside in Chevy Chase, MD.Paul McNamara serves on the Board of Directors of Poor Robert's Mission.
His active roll in Poor Robert's Charities, Inc. began over 15 years ago when he helped spearhead the successful growth of the turkey distribution fundraising efforts.

//in onItemclick()
     new GetTask().execute();

// GetTask Class
          public class GetTask extends AsyncTask<Object, Void, String> {

             ProgressDialog progdialog;

Michelle Coote has written a pair of travel books you might enjoy: I Come Alone: Travels in Thailand and India and Rickety Buses. After she escaped an unfulfilling, materialistic western lifestyle she found freedom on the open road. If you're feeling stuck in your current situation Michelle Coote shows you, by personal example that there are other options available to live life. The insights she gains from seeing Thailand (where I live) and India through Australian eyes are well worth the price of the book. Her first encounter with poverty, in the form of a rickshaw driver, and her response to it are touching and genuine. And episodes like her attempts to check into a brothel – to the alarmed horror of the proprietor – ice the cake.
Volume 2 (so to speak), 'Rickety Buses' continues the adventure with return visits to both Thailand and India and I've reviewed it separately. Definitely read both and, for maximum fun, in order of creation. In Rickety Buses Michelle returns to Thailand and India, seasoned by her first encounters, and as game as ever for inevitable adventures. By this time she's had time to study the countries' exotic history and brings a depth of understanding that the rollicking style of first volume lacked. All the better for it, in my opinion. As her understanding grows, so does ours. I noticed a distinctly deeper response to the Bodh Gaya beggars in this volume. Where before they were colorful background, now they become fully human beings who demand her response. And respond she does.

Chinese Ambassador claims Nasheed's remarks as baseless
Aishath Razan Asif
Chinese Ambassador Zhang Lizhong and Parliament Speaker Mohamed Nasheed.
Chinese Ambassador Zhang Lizhong has refuted Parliament Speaker Mohamed Nasheed's statement regarding the country falling into a debt trap at the hands of China, claiming his remarks to be baseless.
The Speaker addressed Maldives-China relations during his ongoing visit to India. Speaking with 'Lok Saba TV', Nasheed stated that Maldives had fallen into a debt trap due to numerous Chinese investments brought to the country under the reign of former President Yameen Abdul Gayyoom.
To further gratify India, Speaker Nasheed said that Maldives will no longer proceed with the Free Trade Agreement (FTA). Nasheed has previously spoken of China in this regard as well. He continues to make such statements damaging the Maldives' relations with China.
Refuting Nasheed's remarks, Ambassador Lizhong said that China is not one to diminish the independence of another country, stating that their aim was to provide financial aid and support to fellow countries. Moreover, he questioned the absurdity of China 'grabbing' Maldivian land.
In reference to Nasheed's statements, the Ambassador said that the Speaker had made sensational and baseless claims damaging the China-Maldives relations.
Moreover, Ambassador Lizhong stated that China has been a key developmental partner and the largest tourist source market for the Maldives. He further rebuked Nasheed's remarks undermining China-Maldives FTA, stating that the agreement was signed by the two governments after years of negotiations and consultation on equal footing.
Highlighting that the agreement was of mutual benefit, the Ambassador said that any further decisions by the government shall be made wisely with careful consideration.
In a tweet referencing Parliament Speaker Mohamed Nasheed, President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih, and Foreign Minister Abdulla Shahid, Ambassador Zhang Lizhong called on Maldivian politicians to adopt an objective and responsible attitude on bilateral ties.
Nasheed has been making similar remarks here and then, recurring especially on his visits to India and the Chinese Ambassador continues to refute these claims.
President Mohamed Nasheed President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih China + Abdulla Shahid China FTA Maldives China relation
China-Maldives FTA is 'dead', claims Nasheed
Don't single out China for blame, Amb tells Nasheed
Saeed's rebuttal: China-Maldives FTA is not 'dead'

El Partit de la Convenció Democràtica Reang és un partit polític de l'Índia, que representa a l'ètnia bru o reang

Tres joves bru, Sawibunga, un graduado de la NEHU, Lalrinthangga, un estudiant, i Ramawia, un professor de primària, al·legant la manca de respecte a la cultura reang van decidir formar la Unió Popular Reang (Reang Peoples Union, RPU) el setembre de 1989 demanant al govern de Mizoram coses com programes de ràdio, reserva de llocs de treball públics pels reang, i nomenament d'un reang a l'assemblea legislativa.

La RPU va agafar més tard el nom d'Associació Sociocultural Bru (Bru Socio-Cultural Association, BSCA) el desembre de 1989, i va demanar la inclusió dels reang a la llista de minories tribals.

La BSCA va crear una plataforma política el juny de 1990, la Convenció Democràtica Reang (Reang Democratic Convention, RDC), amb Sawibunga com a president, i amb l'objectiu de promoure i preservar la cultura bru, els costums, la llengua i el seu desenvolupament econòmic. La RDC va esdevenir el 1991 el Partit de la Convenció Democràtica Reang (Reang Democratic Convention Party).

El 1992 va participar en les eleccions de districte, i el líder reang Chandra Mohan, fou elegit. Inicialment aliat al Partit del Congrés després es va aliar al Bharatiya Janata Party, però els candidats ètnics chakma i reang dins el BJP no foren elegits.

Extraterrestrial Funk
Denver-based electro funk aficionado, Michal Menert, just released his third, highly anticipated, full-length album entitled Space Jazz. Although Menert has already staked his musical claim in the soul and hip-hop arena, his new LP is a standing testament to his musical versatility and ability to seamlessly incorporate a variety of musical influences under one original sound. With no regard to customs or trends, Michal Menert's Space Jazz opens up a realm of new possibilities for electronic fans as it cannot be classified under a concrete genre or style.
As a key player in the world of soulful electro, Menert diverges from, yet simultaneously plays off of his roots for this newest release, mostly due to the fact that he has recently been performing with over a dozen collaborators and musicians, collectively called the "Big Band." This "Big Band" is a new creative musical outlet for Menert and its influence is strongly heard throughout Space Jazz. With a total of twelve different collaborators, ranging from Dominic Lalli of Big Gigantic, Borham Lee of Break Science, and Manic Focus, Space Jazz boasts live drums, fusion jazz with synthesizers, hip-hop, soul, blues, and electronic influences.
From its spacey and washed-out tracks, to its wide range of styles, Space Jazz utilizes a span of musical perspectives and musical creativity to convey a style that is gentle, deep and soulful. A truly innovative, fresh, funky, and forward-thinking release from one of electronic music's best!

The Mortgage Debt Relief Act of 2007 was enacted as a response to the growing foreclosure problem. More specifically, it addresses the issue of "Debt Forgiveness Income." Debt Forgiveness Income is an IRS theory that if a debt you owe is forgiven, you have gained in monetary value because you no longer are required to pay that debt. That gain in value is taxable as income despite the fact that you didn't actually earn any money. For example: Stephen owes $5,000 in old medical bills. He can't pay the bills, so the hospital forgives the debt and writes it off on their taxes. Come tax time, he will receive a Form 1099 for $5,000 of additional, previously untaxed, income for that year. Now, $5,000 may not be too much of a problem, even in the highest tax bracket this would only increase his taxes by $1,750, the trouble starts when the amount forgiven is higher, as it is with a house.
If Stephen's home is foreclosed upon and the bank forgives a $50,000 debt, he will owe taxes for his actual annual income, plus this $50,000. You could've argued that $5,000 wouldn't effect what bracket he was in before, but $50,000 is almost certain to increase his tax bracket and will leave him with a minimum of $12,500 in additional tax debt. As a result, Stephen may be in debt for a long time. If he didn't have the money to pay his mortgage, it doesn't make sense that he'd have enough money to pay the taxes.
It was because of Stephen's scenario that the Mortgage Debt Relief Act of 2007 was passed. The act allows a person whose homestead has been foreclosed on to have his debt forgiveness income waived so long as it is less than a million dollars per year.
This waiver is set to expire by January 1, 2013, which has some economists worrying. Personally, I think these economist's concerns are without merit. The original act of 2007 was set to expire in 2009. When 2009 rolled around, Congress could see that there was still a problem and passed the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, which extended the tax waiver until 2013. So, as gloomy as our housing economy is, I cannot fathom that Congress will not pass another act extending the homestead foreclosure tax waiver, but if they do, the debtors can always file bankruptcy and discharge the debt before it becomes a tax liability.

Load up the wagons, Cinncy is a haul in under a week!
Is that a chick in the front seat? If so, she isn't nearly large enough to be a UND fan.
I really admire your photo shop skills.
A whole week of Gurt. Yay!!!!!!!!
With the exception of St Paul I hate the regional sites, they absolutely have to start holding them on campuses. Better yet each #1 seed gets to host a regional a reward for playing well. I would rather spend a weekend in a ditch than pay $1,000 for a flight to Cincinnati OH.
I just updated to the sports package. I'd never go to Cincinnati.
Parise, are we all gonna go belly up?
Might be easier (and faster) to get there by water this time around. Hey, Lewis & Clark did it.
Sure, the execution is rudimentary, but the concept is great and in design, concept is king.
Isn't shabby chic close enough?
Cincy is actually a nice place, that's been built up very well around the riverfront downtown due to so many new sports venues.
I've only heard negative stuff. I guess I'll take your word on that. I know i've been to Philly and that place is dirty.

I've been feeling a little concerned that we Sioux fans might not rise to the occasion and give back some of the pleasure Gurth has given us with his artistic skill and nose for fun. We Sioux fans are what you might call cosmopolitan, enjoying artistic things like pichers as much as we do fights in the handshake line, fights in the stands, fights in the penalty box and all other manners of hockey-related violence. So here are some moving pichers that might put Gurth, Wisko, Wildcard, and our other Badger friends/enemies in the mood.
I couldn't find Robbie Earl's diving game-winner, but who cares?
The good news is you won't have to worry about going to Philly this year.
Much like all the garbage blowing around that area. I'm guessing you'll be there.
Well burd, you are always a gentleman and a scholar ;) Thank you for reminding me why practicing medicine in North Dakota is academically referred to as "Veterinary medicine within a septic wasteland." We qualify for loan forgiveness just by driving through the state.
It will be nice to play against your ugly band of jail bound, sasquatches with jersey numbers higher than IQs.

Roman Catholic Cardinal Sean O'Malley already calls himself a blogger. But now O'Malley is delving further into new media with a video podcast of his Christmas message to the masses.
The podcasts — in English, Spanish and Portuguese — are part of a broader effort by the Boston Archdiocese to embrace new technology as a way to spread the church's message.
O'Malley, a Capuchin Franciscan friar who has taken a vow of poverty and is a frequent critic of consumer culture, is emerging as an unlikely technology pioneer.
The cardinal's first downloadable podcast messages will be available Christmas Eve at Boston Catholic Television's revamped Web site, Catholic TV, at the iCatholic webpage. They will be followed by regular video messages from O'Malley starting in the new year.

Q: .Jar file in JS does any knows how to access .jar file in JS. I have created class in Java and imported as a jar file and I want to access that class from JS file.
"Hi Guys, i thankful to all of you. I tried to list files from a folder using JS in Firefox XUL but I couldn't then i decided to do it with JAVA in JS. I would be happy if i find one example either with JS or Java in JS to list folder files."
Thanking u guys.
karthik
One of my tutor had done it and here is the code but i couldn't understand! I'm sure he called the jar files from the same project folder where exactly all the JS and XUL files are located.
// This function will be called to give the necessary privileges to your JAR files

function policyAdd (loader, urls) {
    //alert("debut charge java");
    try {
        //If have trouble with the policy try changing it to
        //edu.mit.simile.javaFirefoxExtensionUtils.URLSetPolicy
        var str = 'edu.mit.simile.javaFirefoxExtensionUtils.URLSetPolicy';
        var policyClass = java.lang.Class.forName(
               str,
               true,
               loader
        );
        var policy = policyClass.newInstance();
        policy.setOuterPolicy(java.security.Policy.getPolicy());
        java.security.Policy.setPolicy(policy);
        policy.addPermission(new java.security.AllPermission());
        for (var j=0; j < urls.length; j++) {
            policy.addURL(urls[j]);
        }
    }catch(e) {
       alert(e+'::'+e.lineNumber);
    }
}

//Get extension folder installation path...
var extensionPath = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/extensions/manager;1"].
            getService(Components.interfaces.nsIExtensionManager).
            getInstallLocation("pde@ghorbel.com"). // guid of extension
            getItemLocation("pde@ghorbel.com");

// Get path to the JAR files (the following assumes your JARs are within a
// directory called "java" at the root of your extension's folder hierarchy)
// You must add this utilities (classloader) JAR to give your extension full privileges
var classLoaderJarpath = "file:///" + extensionPath.path.replace(/\\/g,"/") + "/java/javaFirefoxExtensionUtils.jar";
// Add the paths for all the other JAR files that you will be using
var myJarpath = "file:///" + extensionPath.path.replace(/\\/g,"/") +
"/java/encryption.jar"; // seems you don't actually have to replace the backslashes as they work as well

var urlArray = []; // Build a regular JavaScript array (LiveConnect will auto-convert to a Java array)
urlArray[0] = new java.net.URL(myJarpath);
urlArray[1] = new java.net.URL(classLoaderJarpath);
var cl = java.net.URLClassLoader.newInstance(urlArray);

//Set security policies using the above policyAdd() function
policyAdd(cl, urlArray);

/*

//loading Encryption Class
var myClass = cl.loadClass('Encryption'); // use the same loader from above
var encryptionObj = myClass.newInstance();
//var res = encryptionObj.encrypt("test message to crypt"); // Pass whatever arguments you need (they'll be auto-converted to Java form, taking into account the LiveConnect conversion rules)

*/

A: Sorry but currently no such functionality is developed so you can not access jar file in javascript.
What you can do is fire an AJAX request in javascript and in servlet use that jar for processing and return desired result and that result will be accessible in javascript.

Edit
In servlet:
File file = new File("/folderName");
File[] files;
if(file.isDirectory()){
    files = file.listFiles();
    for(File fl : files){
        out.print(fl.getName()+",");
}

In javascript:
var xmlhttp;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
    xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
} else {
    xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.open("POST", urlToServlet, false);
xmlhttp.send(null);

Now in js in xmlhttp.responseText you will get list of files in a folder. You can parse it and display the list as per your need.

A: Create a trusted applet to use the existing Jars.  JavaScript can communicate with (get data from/send dato to) Java applets.

A: I think you need to look at LiveConnect which allows Javascript to call Java and vice versa in a web browser.
References:

*

*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiveConnect

*https://developer.mozilla.org/en/LiveConnect

*http://jdk6.java.net/plugin2/liveconnect/

Whether this will allow you to do what you want (access the file system on the user's machine) is another question.  That will depend on whether the Java is distributed as a signed JAR ... and the user / browser accepts the signature.  If the JAR is not signed then the Java code will be treated as untrusted code, and executed in a sandbox that (by default) prevents it from accessing the local filesystem.

A: If you add an applet to your page, doesn't have to have any UI aspect to it, you can then get hold of the applet via the DOM.  Once you have that you can call methods on it, so put your api in the applet class of provide a getter to to an object that provides the functionality you want and call that.

Flight diverted to Oklahoma City after passenger assaults flight attendant, air marshal
By Sarakshi Rai - 12/10/21 09:29 AM EST
A Delta flight that took off from Washington, D.C., had to be redirected to Oklahoma City last night after a passenger allegedly assaulted a flight attendant and an air marshal.
Delta flight 342, en route to Los Angeles, had to land in Oklahoma at Will Rogers World Airport. It landed around 7:40 p.m. local time, and police took the suspect into custody, according to ABC.
It is unclear what prompted the incident.
A video, reportedly of the incident, shows the man engaging with another individual on the flight with his mask on his chin. The video also showed him being restrained and yelling while sitting down. It then shows him being led away by the police.
In a statement to The Hill, Delta said it "applauds the quick action and professionalism of the crew and Federal Air Marshals on Delta flight 342 from Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles, which diverted to Oklahoma City after a customer became unruly and was removed from the flight by local law enforcement. We apologize to our customers for the inconvenience."
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in November announced more than $225,000 in fines for 10 airline passengers accused of assault since the start of the year. The FAA has seen more than 4,600 unruly passenger complaints in 2021, with more than 3,300 related to mask-wearing on flights.
Airline worker advocates have been calling for the creation of government and private no-fly lists for unruly passengers amid an increase in violence against flight crew and staff.
"If there is not a no-fly list ... people are going to continue to assault plane crews and gate agents," Transport Workers Union of America President John Samuelsen said last month.

Richard Morgan on 'The Slow Death of Nuance'
Richard K. Morgan, author of Altered Carbon and The Dark Defiles, the latter of which I finished reading (and loved) recently, wrote a fantastic essay on his blog a couple of weeks ago about the dumbing down of storytelling and how it increasingly asks less and less of the reader:
Dip into the broad waters of commercial fiction and you'll bump repeatedly into that same terror of open narrative space, of letting the reader think for themselves. Paragraphs abound with that jerky last sentence sutured on, subtle as Frankenstein surgery, to hammer home the point the text just spent ten finely penned lines carefully implying. One notable horror writer, a firm favourite of mine for many years, has gone so far down this treat-your-readers-as-morons-with-ADD path that I now find his books unreadable. There is no longer any nuance anywhere in the text, no room to breathe and wonder – you're just herded along from one big narrative signpost to the next; don't stop, don't think, just open wide, here comes the next big helping. You end up gagged and bound, stifled by subtitles for the hard-of-thinking. Never mind nuance, never mind thinking for yourself, you're being entertained here! Get with the programme.
And right there in your hands, reading turns from a textured, open experience full of challenge and invitation to extend yourself – like, say, rock climbing or playing a musical instrument – into a satisfaction-guaranteed sit-back-relax repeat-prescription experiential product, like being strapped into the same rollercoaster ride over and over again.
He opens by discussing the ending of Lost in Translation, and the powerful way in which Sofia Coppola uses stylistic storytelling to allow the viewer to form their own opinion as to what precisely passed between the main characters while nonetheless showing fairly clearly what actually happens.
The ending of Morgan's most recent novel The Dark Defiles presents a deliberately inchoate conclusion to its story: the action is cut off at a point where the reader, presuming he or she has been paying attention, should have absolutely no doubt about what happens next, but the coup de grace isn't shown. And it's brilliant. Apparently not all of Morgan's readers got it, though, which is unfortunate, because it was a hell of a lot of fun:
The Dark Defiles does not end ambiguously. Honest. Not at all. There's some space at the end, sure, but what's going to happen in it is a pretty solidly foreshadowed and foregone conclusion. You don't get given blow-by-blow chapter and verse, because I figure you're smart enough to step into that narrative space and figure it out for yourselves, sophisticated enough to enjoy that process for its own sake.
Most readers seem to have done that.
That some didn't, and more importantly that most of those who didn't felt somehow short-changed and even angered by the nuance and the space, continues to perplex me.
As Mr. Morgan goes on to point out, sometimes it is indeed the author's fault, not the reader's. But that isn't the case here. If you couldn't follow the ending of The Dark Defiles, you weren't paying close enough attention. It's all in there. Reread it. If you still don't get it, email me and I'll be happy to explain it to you.
The broader point Morgan makes is well-taken: it's unfortunate that the mainstream trend in fiction and in film is to remove all ambiguity, and thus do the audience's thinking for them. That's not what art is suppose to be. Don't let your art talk down to you. You deserve better.

Will HBO's Game of Thrones Reach the End of the Story Before the Novels?
You've probably heard the news by now that the sixth novel in George R. R. Martin's epic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire, on which the incredibly popular HBO series Game of Thrones is based, will not be released in 2015, according to his publisher Harper Collins. This was hardly a surprise for Martin's fans, given the frequent and often massive delays between books in the series.
That being said, Chris Taylor over at Mashable took the time to do some basic math and came to the (quite reasonable) conclusion that it would be impossible for Martin to finish the series before HBO does at this point.
What HarperCollins didn't draw attention to is that the later arrival of Winds of Winter all but guarantees that the HBO series will do what Martin has long hoped it wouldn't: overtake the books. Here's why. (Caution: What follows indulges in mild speculation, and includes mild spoilers if you haven't read the books.)
Season 5 of Game of Thrones arrives in April. It is based on book four, A Feast for Crows, as well as parts of book five, A Dance With Dragons. (The producers managed to split book three into two seasons, but that was jam-packed with plot; sadly, there's barely enough meat in Crows and Dragons combined to make for a single season.)
The HBO show is on a regular schedule; it films every fall, and screens every spring. There's little hope of delaying Game of Thrones, especially given its large number of teenaged actors who are growing up faster than the pace of the story allows. Isaac Hempstead-Wright, who plays Bran Stark, has already gone through so much pubescence that the producers have already parked Bran at the place where he arrives in book five.
The producers have made it quite clear they intend to end the show with Season 7. So we already have a clear road map: Season 6 arrives in 2016, and the HBO show will grace our screens for the last time in 2017.
Martin's roadmap, meanwhile, involves two more novels: The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring. The titles were announced nearly a decade ago.
So let's be generous to Martin, and imagine that Winter is coming in early 2016, just ahead of the TV season that will likely be based on it. That schedule is not entirely beyond the bounds of reason, given that he has already offered two sample chapters of the new book online.
What is beyond the bounds of reason, however, is that Spring could be completed just one year later, in time for Season 7 in 2017. Martin's books are behemoths lasting between 800 and 1,100 pages each, and even the early books — when he was actually writing fast — had two-year gaps between them.
In other words, at his fastest conceivable writing speed, he would have needed to release Winter this year — and that possibility has just been taken off the table. So we can definitively say that all the long-debated secrets of the series (who Jon Snow's mother is, who ends up on the Iron Throne, whether the dragons and the arrival of winter destroy everything and everyone) will be revealed on screen before they arrive on the page.
I'll spare you further commentary on Martin's writing speed, polemic about whether he's anyone's bitch and what, if anything, authors owe to their readers, and pointless speculation about potential differences between the TV and book endings.
What I will say is this:
1. The TV show has surpassed the books in storytelling quality in certain areas, particularly in regard to its treatment of certain characters (Cersei, for instance) and the plot of the later books, so this isn't as disappointing to me as it otherwise might be, given that I first fell in love with Martin's world through the novels.
2. Mr. Martin has stated publicly that the television show is a major motivation in hastening his work, but I have no doubt that when it becomes clear to him and his publisher, as it may well have already, that they cannot beat HBO to the punch, we'll see an immediate return to the years-long delays ASOIAF readers have experienced with prior volumes in the series.
3. Martin has said before that he would consider expanding the (as of now) seven-book series to eight or nine books if he needs to to tell the story. It seems to me that if the motivation of ending the story ahead of the show disappears, so will any motivation to fit the print story into seven books. This would be unfortunate, as the story has already gotten flabbier than it should have.
