Mar Monte Hotel Debuts in Santa Barbara, Calif. and Joins The Unbound Collection By Hyatt Brand
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (August 17, 2020) – The new Mar Monte Hotel, part of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand, emerges as Santa Barbara's newest lifestyle boutique hotel with reimagined guest rooms, two new food and beverage concepts, and programming that reflects the distinct rhythm of the California coast. The 200-room hotel, which was previously operating under the Hyatt Centric brand, serves as a gateway to the American Riviera and is situated across the street from East Beach, just minutes from downtown Santa Barbara and the famed Funk Zone. With the addition of Mar Monte, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand – which was launched in 2016 and is known for experiences that inspire guests to create their own stories and elevated yet unscripted service –grows to 21 hotels globally.
A reincarnation of the historic 1930s Vista Mar Monte, Mar Monte Hotel has been transformed with modern amenities and design following an extensive renovation project to establish a style of contemporary Santa Barbara. Mirroring the rise of the tide, the hotel's spaces effortlessly flow from indoors to outdoors across three acres of Spanish-influenced grounds, from the hotel lobby and living room, to meeting & event spaces, dining concepts and outdoor terraces.
"The unveiling of Mar Monte Hotel is a proud moment for our entire team. We had a vision to forge a deep connection with the local community and provide inspiration to our guests through unrivaled access to the very best of Santa Barbara," said Ingrid Braun, general manager, Mar Monte Hotel. "Through this transformation, we've not only created an inspiring property and thought-provoking experiences for the spirited lifestyle traveler, but also a warm and welcoming destination for those who call Santa Barbara home."
Los Angeles-based Beleco led the interior design of Mar Monte Hotel. Bright white walls create an airy and welcoming atmosphere in the lobby and living room. Exposed beam ceilings and arches are complemented by feature chandeliers, terracotta tiled flooring and a large-scale ceramic tile art installation behind the reception desk, bringing Spanish-style elements into the space in a muted earthy color palette.

Here's How To Add Friends Using Snapchat's New Profile URL Feature
Snapchat, the popular mobile app that allows you to send and receive timed photos, videos, and text messages, just added a potentially game changing feature—URL profile sharing. That's right, this simple feature addition could turn out to be huge for a social app that has big aspirations of generating billions of dollars.
The developers at Snapchat have been working to make it easier to share and link accounts. In the old days, you had to type in someone's username and hope Snapchat would find them. Since then, Snapchat's added the ability to use QR Snapcodes, sift through your phone contacts, and a location-based "Add Nearby" feature. But none of them have the same impact that URL profile sharing might. More on that in a moment, but first, here's how to use it.
If you're a Snapchat user, you now have a profile. To view and share it, load Snapchat, tap the icon in the center of the display at the top, then tap Add Friends. In addition to the options you're used to seeing, there's a new one that says Share Username. Tap that and Snapchat will give you the option of sharing your custom URL through apps and services like email, text messaging, Facebook Twitter, and so forth. Easy cheesy, as it's meant to be.
So, why is this a big deal? Back in 2013, Snapchat famously turned down two separate buyout offers from Facebook, one for $1 billion and a second for $3 billion. The founders had the guts (or gall) to reject the offers because investors had them convinced Snapchat was and could be worth more. Much more.
Fast forward to today and Snapchat's founders don't seem as crazy as they did a couple of years ago. What was once thought to be a sexting app is a real social media tool, one that's gone on to receive various funding valuing the company as high as $19 billion, according to a Fortune article from a year ago.
Snapchat is still figuring out ways to generate revenue (it brings in money, but isn't yet profitable), but in the meantime, it continues to add users and retain existing ones with feature upgrades. Towards the latter, URL profile sharing makes it easy and less awkward to gain followers, which in turn makes Snapchat a more popular app than it already is. Think about all the places you might see a link to a Facebook or Twitter account. Those same places can now add a link to their Snapchat account. In an era where every celebrity and pseudo-celebrity is trying to grow their brand, that's a big deal.

My six-year-old, Aidan has walking pneumonia and was home with me today. I had a client interview scheduled, and since he isn't contagious he came with me. It was a special occasion that he got to play games on my phone (or even hold my phone at all), and when I scrolled through the pictures looking for something else I found this one. Apparently he and the daddy of this sweet couple really hit it off!


Professor Brent E. Huffman is an award-winning director, writer and cinematographer of documentaries and television programs. Through his work, he aims to inspire others to create documentary films and videos that push the boundaries of the medium and tell emotionally engaging stories to wide audiences.
In the age of vanishing journalism outlets, documentary filmmakers are filling the void by doing the investigative journalism traditionally done by print reporters and photojournalists. Documentary films now dominate the narrative landscape in this golden age of documentary filmmaking and bring in millions of television and online viewers.
In his presentation, Professor Huffman talks about the inspiration to create documentary films that push the boundaries of the medium and the importance of telling emotionally engaging stories to diverse audiences.
Documentaries are the centrepiece of programming on major outlets like HBO, CNN, The Discovery Channel, National Geographic, Showtime, PBS and Al Jazeera as well as network television, online outlets like The New York Times and digital outlets like Netflix and Amazon. CNN Films, HBO Documentaries and The New York Times Op Docs have premiered cutting edge documentaries that reach large audiences.
NPR says, 'We are in a golden age of documentary' especially on TV.
According to Professor Huffman, documentary journalists are using this popular medium of documentary to enrich viewers and better our world by exposing corruption, protecting human rights and saving cultural heritage through the following examples: E Team (2014), Citizen Four (2014), Depth of Field (2015), Virunga (2014) and Saving Mes Aynak (2014). These documentary films distill complex issues by telling insider character-based emotional stories that have a wide ranging positive impact on audiences around the globe, on policy and on the subjects of the films themselves.
He goes on to discuss his award-winning film, Saving Mes Aynak which follows archaeologist Qadir Temori as he races against time to save a 5,000-year-old Buddhist archeological site in Afghanistan from imminent demolition by a Chinese State-owned mining company, which plans to destroy Mes Aynak to mine for $100 billion worth of copper.
As well as being a working documentary filmmaker, in his teaching at Medill, School of Journalism, Northwestern University, an IAFOR Institutional Partner, Professor Huffman aims to inspire his students to create documentary films and videos that stretch the limits of the medium.
Brent E. Huffman was a Featured Speaker at The Asian Conference on Media & Mass Communication 2015 (MediAsia2015) in Kobe, Japan. Professor Huffman was also the recipient of the IAFOR Documentary Film Award & Festival 2015's (IDFA2015) Honorary Award for his work in Afghanistan and the documentary Saving Mes Aynak.
Brent E. Huffman is an associate professor of journalism at Medill as well as a working documentary filmmaker and director of long-form television programs. At Medill, Huffman teaches documentary theory and production as well as long-form video storytelling in the undergraduate and graduate levels. He also advises on local and international student documentary and long-form video projects. He specializes in international documentary filmmaking in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Recently, he has been examining China's international presence in Africa, Afghanistan and Pakistan. He is passionate about international issues involving human rights and social justice.

Home Company Keeps On Building In Its 17th Decade In Business
Company Keeps On Building In Its 17th Decade In Business
Knapheide in 1950s

When Herman Heinrich Knapheide rolled into Quincy, Ill., and established a wagon-building business, the United States was still more than a decade away from the Civil War — and nearly 50 years from the invention of the automobile.
It was 1848, when settlers were heading west by the thousands. Knapheide, a German immigrant, knew there was a clear market for well-built wagons, and in time established himself and his company as a trusted manufacturer. What he couldn't have known then, however, was that his name — and his family — would still be manufacturing vehicles in Quincy some 168 years later.

Bo Knapheide
Now one of the best-known names in the service truck industry, the Knapheide Manufacturing Company has spent a century and a half adapting and evolving — and then doing it again and again — to survive and thrive in changing times. From its headquarters in Quincy, the company has moved on from wagons to wagon bodies for Model T Fords and to modern service trucks.
Six generations on, the company is still growing. Harold W. (Bo) Knapheide IV, senior vice-president of distributor and fleet operations — and the youngest generation to help guide the company — said that's because years of tradition build an unusual kind of strength.
"There's a lot of passion in our company and a lot of pride," he said. "When you have that, you and your people can do amazing things."
Network expands beyond Illinois
From its position in the heart of the United States, the Knapheide family quickly began to build a network to distribute its products far beyond Illinois and the Midwest. By the turn of the 20th century, when the company was in the hands of the second generation — Henry E. Knapheide — it was becoming a modern, world-known presence. It had a catalog boasting 30 models of wagons and distributed to buyers in places as far as South America and Africa.

As the country began to develop its roads — and the powered vehicles to go on them — the Knapheides recognized that they'd have to keep up. Under a third generation (Harold W. Knapheide,) the company began manufacturing Model T service bodies. In the depths of the Great Depression, the company adapted again, focusing on truck repairs when few people were buying.
Over the next several decades, the company refocused itself on manufacturing, and by the 1970s (under a fourth generation) Knapheide had carved out a position as the largest farm truck body manufacturer in the country.

Progress, however, was never simple. A major flood in the 1970s, the farm-market crash of the 1980s, and a second flood emergency in 1993 — which swamped an entire production facility — amounted to considerable setbacks.
"When the family farm went away, that was a real crisis for the country," said Jim Bockenfeld, the company's vice-president of sales. "Hap Knapheide had the foresight that the small family farm might not be around by the time the 1990s rolls around."
Looking back, Bo Knapheide said that with enough perspectives, a company and its leaders develop a critical kind of perspective. "When you look back on our history, every hard period we went through was followed by really good things happening," he said. "When things get tough, we always just get better."
Multiple generations and counting
The sixth-generation Knapheide started working for the company early, as one might expect. With the guidance of his father, Harold W. (Knap) Knapheide III, Bo Knapheide learned all the trades of the business: welding, working in the loading dock, doing mounting and installation.
Working alongside the company's employees, he discovered that he wasn't the only one with a long family line at Knapheide. "We have many people who are multiple generations, many people who have cousins that work in there, sons that work in there, and that's really special," he said.
Company leaders from outside the Knapheide family said there's a reason people stick around. The company is a major employer in town, providing good, steady jobs. Quincy, a city of about 45,00 people, has been around for 175 years, which means that Knapheide has been there for almost all of Quincy's history. The company is a longtime contributor to community programs, both in donations of time and money.
Jim Bockenfeld
But employees said there's also something to the idea of a company that considers its workers part of the family.
Bockenfeld, started out as a regional sales manager nearly three decades ago. In his years with Knapheide, he said, he's seen the company protect workers and look to the future when times were toughest — as in the recession that hit the country in recent years.
"Back in 2009 and 2010, when (others) in the industry were pulling their reigns in, we went out and launched a whole new product line of industrial products, work-ready mechanics trucks, lube trucks, water trucks," he said.
The company also benefited by building a distribution network that mirrored its own structure: places run by families, with long traditions and an understanding of Knapheide's products and history.
"A lot of the distribution outlets that we have are independent, family-owned businesses, much like Knapheide," Bockenfeld said. "There's a common structure and relationship, no question about that."
Business and staff numbers booming
Today, Knapheide builds a wide-ranging product line, from traditional service bodies to platform bodies, fuel lube trucks, water trucks and forestry bodies. It provides the vehicles and bodies used by electricians, farmers, miners, utility crews and pest-control businesses.
Mandar Dighe
Nearly all the manufacturing is still done in Quincy, though the company has a diverse and growing distribution network elsewhere. Since Knapheide is a privately held company, it doesn't share sales numbers. But Bockenfeld said recent years have been booming, as the company has considerably expanded its staff.
According to Mandar Dighe, Knapheide's vice-president of marketing, the company's staff now numbers around 1,200 people in 18 locations.
"What's kind of neat about Knapheide right now, having experienced the growth, is just walking around the place and seeing all the new hires, the bright young people," Dighe said. "It's really satisfying."
He said part of the reason the company has remained both successful and a draw for new workers is because of its interest in being ready for the next big thing – even when it's years away.
The company has learned that giving distributors more variety provides more of an incentive to make brisk sales.
"The more variety they can order from us, the quicker they can justify having a delivery truck come out," he said. "Service bodies with platforms, hauler bodies and pickup toppers and dump bodies are things we've gotten into beyond a single product line."
Dighe said the company has also worked hard to focus its message, from its slogan ("never settle") to its branding.
"The big thing that drives our local markets, whether it's in Dallas or Portland, Oregon, is that our logo is consistent across the entire Knapheide enterprise," he said. "And the fact that it includes "since 1848" really includes people who don't know anything about our company. There's just a natural story that comes out of that."
Next generation in the wings
Now, the challenge facing Knapheide is about the next part of the story. While Bo Knapheide's three children are still all under the age of 11, he said he's certain the family tradition will live on.
"Henry's four, and he doesn't know it yet, but when he turns five he'll start welding," he joked.
Dighe said it's clear the company will need to continue to prepare for ups and downs by diversifying its products and expertise. Plus, he said, it can never be content to rest on past successes, no matter how many years Knapheide gets under its work belt.
"One of the biggest challenges internally is getting past the 'this is how we've always done it,'" Dinghe said. "When we think about it and say: 'We never settle,' we're never going to settle for just accepting how it was done."

Boris Johnson will push for general election if he loses Brexit vote
The AM Show 23/10/2019
Prime Minister Boris Johnson warned parliament on Tuesday that if it delayed his Brexit legislation he would abandon his attempt to ratify the deal to leave the European Union and push for an election instead.
As the clock ticks down to the latest October 31 deadline for Britain's departure, Brexit is hanging in the balance as a divided parliament debates when, how and even whether it should happen.
After he was forced by opponents into the humiliation of asking the EU for a delay that he had vowed he would never seek, Johnson is battling to ram legislation through the House of Commons that will enact his last-minute Brexit deal.
In yet another day of high drama, lawmakers vote at around 1800 GMT on the second of three readings of the 115-page Withdrawal Agreement Bill - a procedural step that opens the stage when the law can be amended.
They will then vote on the government's extremely tight timetable for carrying it through the rest of the stages to become law, with opponents saying the government has not left enough time to consider it properly.
Johnson cautioned parliament that if it delayed Brexit again by defeating his timetable then he would pull the legislation and push for an election which he would fight under the slogan of "Get Brexit Done".
"The bill will have to be pulled," Johnson said when asked what he would do if parliament defeated him. "We will have to go forward to a general election."
Johnson needs parliament's support to trigger an early election because one is not scheduled until 2022. A source in the opposition Labour Party said it will back an election only if a delay to Brexit is agreed first, to ensure that Britain does not leave the EU without a deal before the vote.
Defeat in either of Tuesday's votes in parliament would appear to scupper Johnson's plans to leave the EU with an agreement on October 31. If the EU offers a delay, he is obliged to by law to accept it, although government ministers have still not ruled out somehow leaving with no deal on that date.
Even if Johnson wins both votes on Tuesday, his opponents in parliament could have another chance to ambush the government with amendments that could wreck his plans by demanding a much closer post-Brexit relationship with the EU.
Johnson said the best way to avoid a no-deal Brexit would be to approve his Brexit legislation, adding that the country was tired of the discussion in parliament.
Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn said his Labour Party would oppose both the Bill itself and the accelerated timetable for enacting it. A small Northern Irish party that had propped up Johnson's government has said it will oppose the Bill.
Tuesday's votes could be very close and may depend on whether Johnson can win over enough pro-Brexit Labour rebels to offset opposition from Conservative lawmakers pushed out of his parliamentary party for defying him on earlier Brexit votes.

BREXIT IN PLAY
More than three years since the United Kingdom voted 52 percent to 48 percent to leave the European Union, the Brexit crisis is straining Britain's political and constitution system to the breaking point.
Johnson confounded his opponents by agreeing a Brexit deal with the EU on Thursday. But parliament did not pass a motion on Saturday expressing support for the deal, which meant Johnson was required to write to the EU asking for a delay.
He complied - reluctantly sending an unsigned photocopy of a letter asking for more time - but says he still wants to avoid the delay by getting his agreement enacted as law by October 31.
If Johnson is defeated on Tuesday, much will depend on how the EU plays yet another Brexit quandary.
European Council President Donald Tusk said he was discussing the request for a Brexit delay with the leaders of the other 27 member states and would make a decision "in the coming days".
"I have no doubt that we should treat the British request for an extension in all seriousness," Tusk told lawmakers in the Strasbourg assembly of the European Union parliament. "A no-deal Brexit will never be our decision", he said to applause from lawmakers.
In a sign of the frustration in Brussels, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said Brexit was a waste of time and energy and that the European Parliament could only approve Johnson's deal after the British parliament.
Anti-EU campaigner Nigel Farage, whose Brexit Party won the most British seats at European elections this year, told the EU parliament that another delay was on the cards.
Behind the daily Brexit combat in parliament, in the courts and at late-night EU summits, a much bigger game is being played over whether Brexit will happen at all.
Johnson faces legislative booby traps at every juncture, but the opponents of Brexit are also deeply divided - one of the reasons their campaign to "Remain" failed in the 2016 vote.
Still, Johnson is asking a divided parliament where he has no majority to approve in just three days one of the most important pieces of legislation in recent British history.
If his accelerated timetable were adopted, the so-called WAB (Withdrawal Agreement Bill) would have less time for debate in the House of Commons than a law to ban the use of wild animals in circuses, according to the Institute for Government.
Previous bills to implement major European treaties have taken 10 to 40 days to get through parliament. Government ministers said parliament has enough time to discuss every intricacy of Brexit.

Ahvenisto Race Circuit () is a motor racing circuit located in Hämeenlinna, Finland. The circuit is  long. It features a total elevation change of , its main straight is  in length and its width varies between .
Its elevation changes, short or sometimes inexistent run-off areas, and numerous fast bends have led to some to suggest that it is the hardest and most dangerous race track in Finland, or even one of the most challenging in the world.

History

The construction of Ahvenisto Race Circuit was finished on July 15, 1967. The same year, "I Hämeenlinnan ajot 1967" became the first international event to be held at the circuit. The Formula Two race was won by Jochen Rindt in a Brabham BT23 ahead of Jack Brabham's Brabham BT23C and Jim Clark's Lotus 48. The Formula Three race saw a battle between Finnish and Swedish drivers, with Sweden's Freddy Kottulinsky taking the win. Other notable entrants included Leo Kinnunen, Ronnie Peterson and Reine Wisell.

I Hämeenlinnan ajot 1967

Sports car and single-seater racing is however, not the only form of motorsport that Ahvenisto has hosted over the years. Notably, the 1960s and 1970s saw road racing events such as the FIM Formula 750 held at the circuit, and between 1980 and 1999 a total of 18 FIA European Rallycross Championship events were organized on a modified, mixed-surface version of the circuit, with some of the run-offs converted into gravel sections. In May 1984, what remains today the most severe helicopter accident in the history of Finland occurred at the track during a race. The pilot lost control of his helicopter while landing and crashed into an audience area, resulting in five spectators dead and 26 injured. The track reached its crowd record in 1985, when over 40,000 people arrived to watch Tähtien kisat ("The Race of Stars"), in which both Formula 1 and World Rally Championship stars from around the world, including Nelson Piquet, Keke Rosberg, Timo Salonen and Michele Mouton, gathered at Ahvenisto to race in identical and near-standard BMW cars. Currently, the track mostly hosts races in national and Nordic championships and cups, including Finnish Touring Car Championship, NEZ Racing Championship, Nordic Supercar, Finnish Rallycross Championship and Historic Race Finland.

Lap records

While the official lap record stands at 1:13.226 and was achieved by Marko Nevalainen in a Formula Three car on September 16, 2000, the 1982 Formula One World Champion Keke Rosberg managed an unofficial lap record of 1:10.000 during his 1984 show run in a Williams FW08C Formula 1 car. Meanwhile, two-time Formula One world champion Mika Häkkinen briefly held the lap record for the Porsche Carrera Cup class, recording a time of 1:19.905 during his visit to Ahvenisto on May 29, 2004 in a Porsche 911 GT3, but was surpassed by a 1:18.923 from Fredrik Ros the following year.

The fastest official race lap records at the Ahvenisto Race Circuit are listed as:

Ask Chris #228: Dick Tracy, Annie, And The Ending To The Weirdest Crossover Of The Year
Q: How did Dick Tracy solve the case of Li'l Orphan Annie's disappearance and was it appropriately insane? -- @willwise3
A: Oh Will. Will, Will, Will. I want to take a moment to thank you for letting me talk about what is unquestionably the single greatest crossover of the year. For those of you who may have missed it, the Little Orphan Annie comic strip ended a while back with what has to be the most harrowing cliffhanger to ever hit the newspaper page. After eighty years of adventures, Annie went out in the middle of a story where she'd been kidnapped by an actual war criminal called the Butcher of the Balkans, locked up on a boat bound for an unknown shore, with Daddy Warbucks wondering if he would ever see his beloved daughter again. Seriously, that was the last strip, and Annie's final fate until it was announced that Dick Tracy would step up and solve the case last summer.
As for whether or not that story was "insane," well, let me put it this way: It involves SUPER-POWERED MOON PEOPLE, ATOMIC WEAPONS, AND A TIME MACHINE.
Dick Tracy by Joe Staton and Mike Curtis
When I was a kid, I briefly got obsessed with Dick Tracy when the movie came out, and I remember grabbing these oversized reprints of stories from the '40s. At least, I thought they were oversized. I was eight. But aside from the size, the one thing that really stuck with me was that they were incredibly violent, at least for my young sensibilities. Despite the fact that they featured the cartoonish villains that I'd seen in the movie with the goofy and bluntly descriptive names that were the trademark of the series, there were people getting shot and bleeding out on the concrete all the time in those stories, so after the brief obsession faded, that was the impression that I had of the strip: Cartoony characters and alarmingly realistic violence.
And that was pretty much confirmed the last time I checked in with the strip, back when I started following the Comics Curmudgeon, which was, coincidentally, around the time that a Dick Tracy story ended with someone being mauled to death by their own trained attack dogs. But it turns out that in the sixty-plus years between those stories, there was a whole lot I didn't know about.
See, here's the thing about Dick Tracy: It's weird. And not only that, but it's weird in almost exactly the same way that Batman is, right down to moving away from crime stories and into this bizarre sci-fi era in the '50s and '60s, before swinging back into gritty crime for the next couple of decades. I've mentioned this briefly before, but in Tracy's case, it involved a tenure as the sheriff of the Moon, helping to police a society of antennae-sporting Lunarians and a superheroine named Moon Maid, who supplied his Earthbound police force with flying cars, all of which were eventually written out of the strip when Moon Maid was killed via car bomb and the Moon severed diplomatic ties with Earth.
So yeah: Batman moved into the '70s and just stopped talking about how he used to hang out with versions of himself from the future. Dick Tracy had to deal with diplomatic incidents involving exploded Moon people.
Anyway, in 2011, Joe Staton and Mike Curtis took over the strip, and it turns out that they're pretty big fans of all the completely bonkers stuff that's gone on in the past, and it didn't take long for them to set about bringing it all back and putting together the most mind-boggling, over-the-top crime stories in comics, not the least of which involved bringing back the Lunarians, including Tracy's grandkids:
And that brings us to the story about Annie.
If you're interested in reading it for yourself (and you should, it's legit one of my favorite comics going right now), you can find Dick Tracy online at GoComics.com, with this story starting on June 1, 2014. For the rest of you, here's how it all goes down, and I promise I am not exaggerating one bit. Well, except about the Moon people, they really only show once and don't get involved with the Annie stuff. Everything else, however...
It starts off reasonably enough, with Daddy Warbucks showing up to ask the Major Crimes Unit and Chief Detective Dick Tracy to help track down his daughter. It seems that he and his sidekicks have been tipped off that she's no longer being held by the Butcher, and is somewhere near the City. So where is she?
Oh, you know, it's probably what you expect. She's in 1944.
See, before he ends up finding Annie in what appears to be the past, Tracy's investigation leads him to a secret project called Blue Image, where Diet Smith, the guy who built Tracy's Wrist Wizard, has been working on a time machine.
But it turns out that this is only a red herring! Annie ends up tipping off Tracy to her whereabouts with a coded letter containing her location -- in coordinates, because it's comics and in comics everyone seems to know their exact latitude and longitude at all times -- sending Tracy to the mysterious Thunder Island, which has been closed off by the order of the government since a nuclear accident -- which is another red herring, because it wasn't a nuclear attack at all, but rather an accident involving chemical weapons that were being developed for use against the Nazis! But when Tracy goes to check it out, he blacks out, his car goes into the water, and when he wakes up...
...he thinks it's 1944 and that he is and has always been the sole policeman for the town of Simmons Corners!
The reason for all this? EVERYONE IN TOWN IS BEING BRAINWASHED BY HYPNOTIC MESSAGES TRANSMITTED VIA OLD TIME RADIO. Everyone, that is, except for Annie, which makes sense given that the show that's hypnotizing everyone is Orphan Belinda, a parody of the Little Orphan Annie radio show.
Fortunately for Annie, she's able to snap Tracy out of it, at which time they decide to investigate the town by pretending that they're pretending to date, which is not a typo.
As it turns out, the whole thing is a plot by a crook named Axel, who has rigged up a Village straight out of The Prisoner in order to convince a scientist named Kenyon that it's World War II and he needs to create a new and devastating explosive so that he can fight the Nazis. Why, exactly, he felt that he had to go all the way back to the '40s to find motivation for building bombs, I have no idea, but Curtis and Staton do make sure to point out that the chemical weapons accident left the buildings abandoned and untouched since 1944. I guess when you come across an entire vintage town that's guaranteed to be left alone since everyone thinks it's radioactive, you just end up building the rest of your supervillain plot around it until t snowballs into being a Whole Thing.
Needless to say, it does not work out so well for Axel.
If you take nothing else away from this column, please let it be this: People sure do explode a lot in Dick Tracy.
And that's the end of that. After four solid months of increasingly bizarre action, Annie is rescued and goes back to live with Daddy Warbucks, and Tracy is called upon to explain the whole thing in a single strip to a person who does not believe him despite the fact that he works for a police department that uses MOON CARS.
That's a word balloon Steve Ditko would be proud of.
It's easily the crossover of the year and probably in the running for crossover of the decade, but here's the best part: Later this month, Dick Tracy is crossing over with Funky Winkerbean, which means two things. One, that Moon People are officially going to be canon in both Funky and Crankshaft, and two, that there's a really good chance Les Moore and his miserable smirking face are going to get blown up good.
I cannot wait.

Performances of instrumental music often embody a tension between virtuoso display and the casting of narrative spells: look-no-hands acrobatics and the dream-like weave of ancient storytelling. The generous performance by iconic Cuban pianist-composer Chucho Valdés and his Afro-Cuban Messengers, in a Celebrity Series of Boston concert at Berklee Thursday night, had all of this, and then some.
Valdés, now 74, is one of the great figures in modern Cuban music. With his band Irakere (for which this tour is named), he revolutionized Cuban music: 'bringing together jazz and ancestral forms,' as he recently told The New York Times, but really bringing in all manner of modern and classical musics. His pianism is as protean as his bandleading, a daunting encyclopedia of techniques and deep musical knowledge.
Irakere, whose most famous early members included Arturo Sandoval and Paquito D'Rivera, disbanded in 2005. This 40th-anniversary tour (and an accompanying album) provided a chance for Valdés to look back at the music he created with that group, performing with an expanded version of his Afro-Cuban Messengers.

Tętnica gardłowa wstępująca (ang. ascending pharyngeal artery, łac. arteria pharyngea ascendens) – jest jedną z gałęzi tętnicy szyjnej zewnętrznej, najczęściej jest to jej jedyna gałąź przyśrodkowa.

Przebieg
Tętnica gardłowa wstępująca jest długim i cienkim naczyniem, odchodzi od tętnicy szyjnej zewnętrznej mniej więcej na poziomie tętnicy językowej. Początkowo biegnie pomiędzy tętnicą szyjną zewnętrzną a wewnętrzną, w kierunku gardła, a następnie ku górze do podstawy czaszki, przyśrodkowo od mięśni rylcowo-gardłowego i rylcowo-językowego.

Gałęzie i obszar unaczynienia
Gałęzie tej tętnicy można podzielić na trzy grupy:
 gałęzie gardłowe – 3 lub 4 drobne gałązki do gardła, podniebienia miękkiego i migdałka podniebiennego;
 tętnica oponowa tylna – wnika do jamy czaszki, gdzie unaczynia oponę twardą, może przechodzić do wnętrza czaszki różnymi drogami, poprzez otwór poszarpany, otwór wielki, otwór szyjny lub kanał nerwu podjęzykowego;
 tętnica bębenkowa dolna – biegnie razem z nerwem bębenkowym poprzez kanalik bębenkowy do jamy bębenkowej, gdzie unaczynia dno jamy bębenkowej i wzgórek.
Od tętnicy gardłowej wstępującej może odchodzić również tętnica podniebienna wstępująca.

Zmienności
Czasem tętnica gardłowa wstępująca może być podwójna. Może też odchodzić od tętnicy potylicznej.

Ахты́рь — река в Абинском районе Краснодарского края России. Река берёт начало на северо-западных склонах вершины Бондарева. В среднем течении реки расположен посёлок Ахтырский. Впадает в реку Мокрый Хабль юго-восточнее хутора Хабль. Длина 32 км, площадь водосборного бассейна — 175 км².

Флора и фауна
В верховьях реки преобладает дуб скальный, липа кавказская, граб восточный. В среднем течении преобладает ольха бородатая. В нижнем течении ива, осина и другие низкорослые деревья и кустарники. В водах реки обитают голавль, пескарь, карась изредка форель. В низовьях реки в пойменных лесах встречаются уж и дикий кабан.

Этимология
Гидроним Ахтырь приводят к тюркскому актура — «белая крепость», где ак — «белый», тура — «крепость». Ранее речку называли Куматырь, где кум — «песок», адыр — «предгорье» или «холмистая местность»; в этом случае название гидронима будет выглядеть, как «песок предгорья» (тюрк.)

Examining the Encyclical
Where does 'Fratelli tutti' fit in the magisterial tradition?
This story is included in these collections
Copies of 'L'Osservatore Romano' are distributed in St. Peter's Square, October 4, 2020. (CNS photo/IPA/Sipa USA, Reuters)
October 3, the day that Francis signed Fratelli tutti in Assisi, also happened to mark the twentieth anniversary of a somewhat less illustrious moment in the Church's interreligious outreach. In 2000, a planned day of dialogue between Jews and Christians in Rome had to be canceled because of the negative reaction to Dominus Iesus, a recently published declaration from the Congregation of the Doctrine of Faith, led at the time by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger. Around the same time, the Jesuit theologian Jacques Dupuis was under trial on charges brought by the Holy Office for his work on the theology of interreligious dialogue. How far we've come in twenty years, thanks to Jorge Mario Bergoglio. His new encyclical may signal not only the papacy's shift from a strictly Roman Catholic tradition to one more oriented toward global Catholicism, but also a new paradigm in how the Church approaches relations with other faiths.
Fratelli tutti comes a little more than five years after Laudato si'—the longest interval in papal encyclicals since the gap between Pope Gregory XVI's Commissum divinitus ("On Church and State," 1835) and Probe nostis ("On the Propagation of the Faith," 1840). Of course, after Humanae vitae, Paul VI did not write another encyclical in the remaining ten years of his papacy, because of the new bishops' synods.[*] Given Francis's vision for a Church that gives more importance to synods and to other kinds of documents, especially post-synodal exhortations, the space between encyclicals isn't that surprising. This is also the first time a pope has issued an encyclical outside of Rome since 1814, when Pius VII signed Il trionfo in the Italian city of Cesena, after five years of imprisonment in France during the Napoleonic Wars. (In the same year, he also restored the Society of Jesus, which had been suppressed in 1773.) Coming in the midst of a once-in-a-century pandemic that highlights the crises of globalization and the social order, the timing couldn't have been better. The encyclical quotes—and therefore includes as sources of the Catholic magisterial tradition—Blessed Charles de Foucauld, Martin Luther King Jr., Desmond Tutu, and Mahatma Gandhi, as well as the German Jesuit Karl Rahner (who was under investigation by the Holy Office through the time he was working with the German bishops in preparation for Vatican II). Cinematographic citations have also now entered the ordinary magisterium of the Catholic Church: the document mentions Wim Wenders's 2018 documentary on Pope Francis three times. There are also five mentions of Ahmad al-Tayyeb, the grand imam of al-Azhar, with whom Francis signed the February 2019 Abu Dhabi document Human Fraternity, in many ways the predecessor of Fratelli tutti.
The language of "Fratelli tutti" is less systematic theology than spirituality and psychology.
The early reception of the document has been largely positive (deservedly so), while its most important teachings have been highlighted in Commonweal and elsewhere. Fears about rejection of the encyclical because of its title have not materialized (in the original Italian, the title sounds more gender-inclusive than in other languages). But it's a long and deep text, one that should be read closely not just for what it says, but also for how it says it, given that it now becomes part of the long magisterial and theological tradition of the Catholic Church.
The language of Fratelli tutti is less systematic theology than spirituality and psychology. From this point of view, it makes sense that Francis quite often cites himself: there's an enormous number of quotes from previous documents (especially Evangelii gaudium and Laudato si') and from his speeches and homilies. He continues the tradition, inaugurated with Evangelii gaudium, of also quoting from the documents of national and continental bishops' conferences, which is very important from an ecclesiological standpoint.
But compared to his other writing, there are fewer references to the settled magisterial tradition. Francis doesn't even mention Rerum novarum, the 1891 encyclical by Pope Leo XIII that inaugurated modern Catholic social teaching (this was also the case with Laudato si'). This could very well end up affecting its reception by certain neo-fundamentalist and integralist Catholics, especially in the United States, who apply a more legalistic reading to how the magisterium of the Church is discussed while looking for evidence of material continuity with tradition. Though there are important teachings in Fratelli tutti on, among other things, social responsibility and property, the death penalty, and war, these readers are not likely to receive it with an attitude of papal positivism—that it's Catholic because the pope said it.
It is surprising that Francis so frequently quotes himself when there are precedents he could draw from. In modern Catholicism, the idea of human fraternity and the one human family emerged explicitly at Vatican II, from Pope John XXIII's inaugural speech, Gaudet Mater Ecclesia, to the first public message of the council, Message to Humanity, on October 20, 1962. But this is barely evident in Fratelli tutti, which quotes twice from Gaudium et spes and only once from the conciliar declaration on non-Christian religions, Nostra aetate (paragraph two, but not paragraph five, which would have been useful for the reference to the "imago Dei," the creation of all in the image of God as the root of human fraternity). A beautiful section on religious liberty does not reference Dignitatis humanae, which brought a momentous change in the Catholic Church's teaching on this subject. It's curious, because Francis is clearly a Vatican II pope. While the council has become so much a part of the ecclesial consciousness in Latin America that quotations from its documents can seem superfluous, the same cannot be said for other parts of the world, such as the Catholic Church in the United States.
There's also something interesting about the tone Francis strikes in this encyclical, in terms of how it relates to Vatican II. The first chapter is a list of calamities; it reads almost as the opposite of Gaudium et spes, in which the council emphasized the intent of the Church to share "the joys and the hopes" of the modern world. With the election of Benedict XVI, there emerged a clearly anti–Gaudium et spes theology, with papal teaching that was more pessimistic about modernity. Francis here expresses his own type of pessimism: even as he takes the side of justice for the poor, the marginalized, and the displaced, he makes clear to this generation of post–Vatican II Catholics that the situation facing the world today—especially climate change—constitutes a major challenge for the interpretation and application of Vatican II.
Also worth noting is how Francis reflects on the relationship between religion and violence. He makes clear that religion is predisposed to coexistence and dialogue: "The truth is that violence has no basis in our fundamental religious convictions, but only in their distortion" (282). What seems to be missing, though, is a call to religions (beginning with Christianity) to come to grips with the elements of their respective traditions and teachings that in fact have been used to justify violence and religious war. This brings to mind the council's approach in Nostra aetate—which explicitly "deplored" anti-Semitism, but did not confront the theological problem of anti-Judaism as a religious sentiment rooted in the previous theological tradition. Since Vatican II, and mostly thanks to Pope John Paul II, the Church has made progress in not exempting itself from reexamining problematic teachings. But an encyclical like Fratelli tutti, with its emphasis on interreligious relations, will face greater scrutiny on this front, not only within the Church, but also from Jewish and Muslim authorities and scholars, not to mention in the secular world.
No matter Francis's previous statements on clericalism and synodality, fraternity within the Church is a secondary subject in "Fratelli tutti."
Then there are the issues that are simply missing in Fratelli tutti. Setting aside the flap over the title, not a single woman is quoted. It doesn't even mention St. Clare of Assisi. Certainly, on issues ranging from immigration and social justice to interreligious dialogue, there are more than a few female saints and thinkers who could have been cited. The sections on racism and anti-Semitism are very short and sound perfunctory, especially given the rise of populist leaders with links to xenophobic Catholics. Even more troubling is that there is nothing on the problem of sexual abuse. If there's something that wounded not only the sense of fraternity in the Church, but also the credibility of the Church to teach on human fraternity, it's the scandal of sexual abuse. In the institutional Church, Pope Francis included, there remains a complete and dysfunctional separation between what leaders say about sexual abuse and what they say on all other issues.
This underscores a key feature of Fratelli tutti: no matter Francis's previous statements and writing on clericalism and synodality (two words that do not appear in the document), fraternity within the Church is a secondary subject. His primary focus is on the Church in the world and for the world. It envisions a new social system while treating the current ecclesial and ecclesiastical system as a given. In that sense, Fratelli tutti is a major document in terms of the Church's shift toward global Catholicism. It deserves to be received as a statement reorienting the posture of Catholicism worldwide, aligning the Church with the poor in the quest for justice. Some will welcome Francis's emphasis on the ad extra. But some will also wonder, with reason, what the impact might be for both the Vatican and Francis's pontificate.

What's it about? A prequel to the excellent Monsters Inc., which explains how Mike (voiced by Billy Crystal) and Sully (voiced by John Goodman) met at university. Mike is the class swot, determined to learn everything about being a scary monster, whilst Sully is the class slacker, a naturally talented scarer, but lazy. But they must learn to work together to succeed.
Is it any good? Has to go down as a disappointment. If it was a student in a class at University, it would be the anonymous one in the middle who doesn't do anything particularly wrong, but doesn't ever do anything impressive either - the sort of person quickly forgotten by classmates and lecturers alike. Perhaps even more disappointingly, it would be the sort of sensible student who wouldn't really be all that exciting to party hard with. That's not to say it's terrible - it has a competent sports movie arc, as Mike and Sully must team up to inspire a bunch of no-hoper monsters into winning a big competition against all odds. It looks fantastic and delivers a couple of campus-based chuckles. However, we've come to expect greater things from Pixar and this doesn't do enough to join those at the top of the class, with a notable lack of imagination, emotional impact and memorable supporting characters, especially when compared to the likes of Monsters Inc. and the Toy Stories. Ultimately, it feels like a film which has been forced to do an exam and is happy to do just enough to pass.
Anything else I should know? Fancy creating your own monster? Visit this site and let your imagination run riot. Here's my effort. I give myself a first-class mark for it.

Q: Resizing a JFrame and all the contents inside I am making a game, and I am wondering if there is any way that you can resize the frame so that everything inside will also resize with it too?

A: That is the job of the LayoutManager. Choose your LayoutManager carfully so that it arranges your components properly. For example, if you use a BorderLayout, the center component will be stretched to take all the space not occupied by NORTH-SOUTH or WEST-EAST.

A: You need to choose the right LayoutManager for you. You can have layouts within layouts by putting JPanels within JPanels.
If you find the Java Swing library annoying to work with like that, then I suggest using Netbeans IDE where you can design visually how your GUI will look like.

Language is a skill based subject. Like all skills, learning English requires regular practice. The longer you practice the more efficient the skill becomes. Therefore the best age for learning a language is during one's childhood. English classes teach children the basics of English. It teaches them the rules of the language, their proper usage, sentence patterns, etc. so that they can perform better in other subjects.
English is the most essential language that one should develop by any means. The need for English language is increasing every single day all over the world. This universally acknowledged language has to be well cultivated and nurtured in little ones in this very competitive world where one needs to know the English language at least in a basic level. A child's education is important and learning English is also essential since it helps the child to understand and be well learnt in other subjects as the child will have a strong foundation in grammar such as through games and activities like word puzzles, charades, spotting errors etc. Learning grammar through activities and games will make the children eager and encourage them to acquire the language in an effective way. Learning spelling is a challenge for most of the children who are not taught the phonic sounds. It becomes difficult for them, sounds is to be taught to children for various reasons that would help them in their spellings and pronunciation which will guide them in their reading and writing as well. Sounds can be learnt by listening to a recorded audio, by watching animated movies from which new words, dialogues, the intonations and the way they speak can be observed so that all these can be well understood and be practiced by the children.
The next important level is to learn vocabulary after mastering the spelling, pronunciation and grammar. Vocabulary is to be gained as a regular process, there are much easier ways to complete this task, if children look at this task as a challenge because learning vocabulary is quite a challenge. For instance, they can begin to read short stories and develop the habit of reading comics and novels as they proceed in years. It is not only just about the reading but finding new words and using it. The challenge is to practice it in their daily lives as a routine process. This kind of regular exercise of using the words while they speak will enrich them to improve in not only their vocabulary but also their pronunciation level will develop.

Avalanche blaze past Knights 7-1 in penalty-filled Game 1

DENVER – The book on Nathan MacKinnon and the Colorado Avalanche: They're extremely speedy.
An overlooked chapter in that book: They can turn physical, too, when push comes to shove.
MacKinnon and Gabriel Landeskog each scored twice and the well-rested Avalanche made quick work of Vegas with their speed, beating the Golden Knights 7-1 on Sunday night in a skirmish-filled Game 1 of their second-round playoff series.
What began with Colorado putting on a passing clinic — racing to a 5-0 lead — spiraled into one fight after another. There were a total of 74 penalty minutes between the teams, including four 10-minute misconduct calls in the third period and a match penalty on Vegas' Ryan Reaves for attempting to injure an opponent.
"I don't think you can call that physicality to be honest with you," Landeskog said. "Reaves is on a mission to hurt somebody in the third and that's what he goes out and does. I'm sure the league will take a look at it, intent to injure."
Cale Makar, a 22-year-old defenseman, added a goal and three assists. Brandon Saad and Mikko Rantanen also scored for the Avalanche, who had an extra burst after nearly a week break following a four-game sweep of St. Louis in the first round.
"Everyone took it serious, the break. Wasn't a vacation," MacKinnon said. "Everyone was ready to go and we had a great start."
William Karlsson scored the lone goal for Vegas. Robin Lehner was a surprise starter in net and stopped 30 shots in his first appearance of these playoffs. He stepped in for Marc-Andre Fleury, who was in goal for all seven games as the Golden Knights eliminated Minnesota on Friday.
"Playoffs are about having short memories and getting ready for the next one," Vegas coach Pete DeBoer said. "The bottom line was we weren't good enough tonight. They were very good."
Game 2 is Wednesday in Denver.
Rantanen got things going with a first-period goal to energize a crowd that was recently expanded to 10,500 fans (official attendance was 10,489). They saw Philipp Grubauer finish with 24 saves and 11 Colorado players record an assist.
Then, there was a whole lot of pushing and shoving.
Things turned testy soon after Mattias Janmark took a big hit from Avs defenseman Ryan Graves at 8:26 of the second period. Graves' shoulder-to-chest check knocked Janmark into the boards and he was helped off the ice. He didn't return and DeBoer didn't have an update.
The Golden Knights were none-too-pleased with the shot. William Carrier later took back-to-back roughing penalties on Makar and then Graves.
"Defenseless player. It's a blindside interference," Vegas captain Mark Stone said. "Obviously didn't like the hit."
It only got rougher in the third period. Max Pacioretty drew a roughing penalty on Avs defenseman Samuel Girard as the Vegas forward swung his shoulder and stick with 16:13 remaining. The hit led to a flurry of pushing and shoving.
Later, Reaves was assessed a roughing penalty for knocking down Graves, setting off a melee that resulted in misconduct calls on Saad, Valeri Nichushkin, Zach Whitecloud and Alex Pietrangelo.
"We knew they were going to play physical and had to be ready for it," Makar said. "It might happen in the next game, but we'll be ready for it."
Vegas drew 44 penalty minutes and Colorado 30.
Despite the lopsided series opener, this figured to be an evenly matched series considering both teams won four games against the other during the regular season. They also tied for the most points in the league, but the Avalanche earned the coveted Presidents' Trophy — along with home-ice advantage throughout the postseason — courtesy of a tiebreaker (more regulation wins).
"It's going to be a heck of a matchup and a heck of a series, that's for sure," Vegas forward Alex Tuch said.
MAC'S ATTACK
MacKinnon has eight goals so far in the postseason. He's the seventh player in league history to score at least eight goals through his first five games, according to research by NHL Stats.
MIKKO'S STREAK
Rantanen has recorded at least a point in a Colorado-record 15 straight playoff games. He also had an assist.
AROUND THE RINK
Avalanche D Erik Johnson (upper body) skated Sunday. He hasn't played since leaving the game on Jan. 30. ... Avs F Nazem Kadri served the third of his eight-game suspension for an illegal hit to the head during the Blues series. ... Avs F Sampo Ranta made his NHL debut. Ranta turns 21 on Monday.

Paul McCartney and George Harrison attend a Byrds recording session
Wednesday 1 September 1965 Studio 1 Comment
The day after the Beatles' 1965 North American tour ended, and prior to their evening flight back to England, Paul McCartney and George Harrison visited The Byrds in the recording studio.
The Byrds were at Columbia Recording Studio at 6121 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, where they were working on a cover version of Bob Dylan's The Times They Are a-Changin'. The two Beatles had been invited by Derek Taylor, who had previously worked for the group and Brian Epstein, and who was now The Byrds' press officer.
Harrison was the first to arrive, and dodged the fans waiting outside the studio. He entered the studio control room and greeted producer Terry Melcher, then waved to the band through the window. The presence of a Beatle unnerved The Byrds, who were struggling to recording the Dylan song satisfactorily.
During a break in the session, McCartney arrived in a black limousine, pursued by dozens of other cars. Rushing through the hordes of people outside, he made his way into the control room to join Harrison and the studio staff.
The session ground to a halt, and the two groups began to socialise. Unbeknown to them, however, a drama was playing out elsewhere in the studio. Derek Taylor had taken a call from his wife Joan, who told him that the FBI had called at their house and were asking about drugs.
Earlier in the year, during a transatlantic flight to America, The Byrds' Roger McGuinn had stowed an amount of hashish in a cigarette packet, which he had left in the pouch in front of Taylor's seat on the aeroplane.
Joan Taylor informed her husband that the FBI were on their way to the studio, so some quick action was required. Keen to avoid embroiling the Beatles or the Byrds in a potential drugs bust, Taylor managed to persuade the FBI agent to accompany him to a nearby bar.
Fortunately, the agent liked a drink, so to pursue our discussion further I took him to the La Brea Inn where he got surprisingly drunk while I remained astonishingly sober and, I would say, slippery. Yes, of course I had heard of hashish: 'But, as you can see, Officer, I'm a gin man, man. That's my poison. And you, Officer? Another vodka, perhaps?' 'Derek, if you could see the human wreckage I've seen with drugs.' I couldn't but agree. Terrible!
Derek Taylor
It Was Twenty Years Ago Today
Not long after, under the pretence of a bathroom visit, Taylor ran back into the studio to tell the Byrds and the Beatles to leave right away, and to clear their houses of any drugs. Harrison and McCartney slipped out of a side door and went with the Byrds to Benedict Canyon, before flying back to London, presumably without any illegal drugs in their luggage.

Between Empire and Continent
British Foreign Policy before the First World War
Rose, A.
Prior to World War I, Britain was at the center of global relations, utilizing tactics of diplomacy as it broke through the old alliances of European states. Historians have regularly interpreted these efforts as a reaction to the aggressive foreign policy of the German Empire. However, as Between Empire and Continent demonstrates, British foreign policy was in fact driven by a nexus of intra-British, continental and imperial motivations. Recreating the often heated public sphere of London at the turn of the twentieth century, this groundbreaking study carefully tracks the alliances, conflicts, and political maneuvering from which British foreign and security policy were born.

Daily Life in the Abyss
Genocide Diaries, 1915-1918
Tachjian, V.
Historical research into the Armenian Genocide has grown tremendously in recent years, but much of it has focused on large-scale questions related to Ottoman policy or the scope of the killing. Consequently, surprisingly little is known about the actual experiences of the genocide's victims. Daily Life in the Abyss illuminates this aspect through the intertwined stories of two Armenian families who endured forced relocation and deprivation in and around modern-day Syria. Through analysis of diaries and other source material, it reconstructs the rhythms of daily life within an often bleak and hostile environment, in the face of a gradually disintegrating social fabric.

An Improbable War?
The Outbreak of World War I and European Political Culture before 1914
Afflerbach, H., & Stevenson, D. (eds)
The First World War has been described as the "primordial catastrophe of the twentieth century." Arguably, Italian Fascism, German National Socialism and Soviet Leninism and Stalinism would not have emerged without the cultural and political shock of World War I. The question why this catastrophe happened therefore preoccupies historians to this day. The focus of this volume is not on the consequences, but rather on the connection between the Great War and the long 19th century, the short- and long-term causes of World War I. This approach results in the questioning of many received ideas about the war's causes, especially the notion of "inevitability."

The Legacies of Two World Wars
European Societies in the Twentieth Century
Kettenacker, L. & Riotte, T. (eds)
The US invasion of Iraq in 2003 was done mainly, if one is to believe US policy at the time, to liberate the people of Iraq from an oppressive dictator. However, the many protests in London, New York, and other cities imply that the policy of "making the world safe for democracy" was not shared by millions of people in many Western countries. Thinking about this controversy inspired the present volume, which takes a closer look at how society responded to the outbreaks and conclusions of the First and Second World Wars. In order to examine this relationship between the conduct of wars and public opinion, leading scholars trace the moods and attitudes of the people of four Western countries (Great Britain, France, Germany and Italy) before, during and after the crucial moments of the two major conflicts of the twentieth century. Focusing less on politics and more on how people experienced the wars, this volume shows how the distinction between enthusiasm for war and concern about its consequences is rarely clear-cut.

Rationed Life
Science, Everyday Life, and Working-Class Politics in the Bohemian Lands, 1914–1918
Kučera, R.
Far from the battlefront, hundreds of thousands of workers toiled in Bohemian factories over the course of World War I, and their lives were inescapably shaped by the conflict. In particular, they faced new and dramatic forms of material hardship that strained social ties and placed in sharp relief the most mundane aspects of daily life, such as when, what, and with whom to eat. This study reconstructs the experience of the Bohemian working class during the Great War through explorations of four basic spheres—food, labor, gender, and protest—that comprise a fascinating case study in early twentieth-century social history.

The Spirit of the Laws
The Plunder of Wealth in the Armenian Genocide
Akçam, T. & Kurt, U
Pertinent to contemporary demands for reparations from Turkey is the relationship between law and property in connection with the Armenian Genocide. This book examines the confiscation of Armenian properties during the genocide and subsequent attempts to retain seized Armenian wealth. Through the close analysis of laws and treaties, it reveals that decrees issued during the genocide constitute central pillars of the Turkish system of property rights, retaining their legal validity, and although Turkey has acceded through international agreements to return Armenian properties, it continues to refuse to do so. The book demonstrates that genocides do not depend on the abolition of the legal system and elimination of rights, but that, on the contrary, the perpetrators of genocide manipulate the legal system to facilitate their plans.
World War I and the Jews
Conflict and Transformation in Europe, the Middle East, and America
Rozenblit, M. L. and Karp, J. (eds)
World War I utterly transformed the lives of Jews around the world: it allowed them to display their patriotism, to dispel antisemitic myths about Jewish cowardice, and to fight for Jewish rights. Yet Jews also suffered as refugees and deportees, at times catastrophically. And in the aftermath of the war, the replacement of the Habsburg Monarchy and the Russian and Ottoman Empires with a system of nation-states confronted Jews with a new set of challenges. This book provides a fascinating survey of the ways in which Jewish communities participated in and were changed by the Great War, focusing on the dramatic circumstances they faced in Europe, North America, and the Middle East during and after the conflict.
