Current Resident: I've grown up here in Newtonville, and it was such an amazing experience! Everyone is very friendly, there are plenty of places within walking distance, and the schools are amazing. Such wonderful place to live.
Current Resident: West Newton is a walkable family friendly village in the City of Newton. There are neighborhood elementary schools which are walkable and the school system is great.
Nearby Resident: I like Waban because there are lots of educational studios/groups for children. I have a daughter, who is 5 years old, and I take to Waban to rhythmic gymnastics three times a week from Brookline because in Brookline we do not have such a studio, and studios that are available in Brookline are more expensive.
Current Resident: NUF is a one of 13 villages of the city of Newton. It is not one of wealthier villages, and has a fair amount of renters living in the area. Overall it is a very safe neighborhood, with an MBTA train stop for greater access to the city of Boston, Cambridge, Brookline and other areas that the MBTA services. On the down side, it is becoming overcrowded as older lower priced homes are being bought, torn down and rebuilt. The population is not that diverse, but more diverse than other villages in Newton.
Parent: We lived in Newton for over 20 years. Although there have been changes over the years, it really hasn't changed much in terms of quality of life, however has done a good job keeping up with changing demographics and economics. This is a great place for working moms and dads to raise a family. Great schools, team sports, convenience of getting around for parents and kids as they grow older - and still feel like you are in a someone suburban neighborhood. Newton is the perfect size with accessibility to Boston and all the cultural advantages of Boston. I have lived in Atlanta, Dallas, Louisville, New York and the Detroit area. Although there are many advantages of all of these cities, Newton is safe, still pretty and easy to live in. Weather is a significant factor whether we will stay here. I see the future continuing to be bright and sustain its allure.
Current Resident: The Newton Public School System is really awesome. One of the best parts, in my opinion, is the Career Tech Ed opportunities at Newton North High. Aside from the education aspect, Newton is also a city that feels incredibly safe. There are not many crimes or threats in the city at all. There are a lot of things going on in the city at all times, there are many good restaurants, shops, and activities. The different areas in Newton are very different from each other: Newton Highlands, Newton Corner, Newton Centre, Nonantum, Chestnuthill, etc. They all have different things to offer!
Current Resident: If you want peace and quiet, unbelievably grounded and friendly people around you, clean air and country an excellent A+ school system Sudbury is the place to be. I'm not pumping this town either, I'm telling you my opinion from painful town hunting experience. Being from Newton we had high standards for our next move. Newton is an exceptional town in itself. But we wanted to move to someplace with more land for our kids to let loose and have more fun outside without much worry. Newton city just does not afford that type of comparison to more bucolic settings. So we shopped for years looking into Dover, Sherborn, Weston, Concord, Carisle etc. Granted, we don't ever buy real estate based on the IN crowd place to be, rather, we be buy based on risk and metrics. We could easily see Sudbury value outpacing many other towns in the future and for the simple reason of just looking at the map, Location, Location, Location.
Niche User: My town has been said to be one of the safest in the United States and even walking the streets in the dead of night I feel completely safe.
Current Resident: Reading some of the more recent reviews, it's clear that a particular individual with egomaniacal tendencies decided to trash the town on their way out. My family moved to Hopkinton recently and we could not be more pleased with our decision. There are ample gorgeous public areas for hiking and outdoor activities, coupled with socioeconomic diversity we did not find in other Boston suburbs we considered. The racial diversity is increasing and our neighbors and the town in general have been incredibly welcoming. Being one of the safest suburbs in the country with a top shelf school system makes this a great town to raise a family. A town is what you make of it!
Current Resident: Nice place to live, very safe, but the transit is not good especially if you are trying to get anywhere and your plans are time sensitive. The people are a bit cold and no neighbors really talk to each other unless you've gone to school together forever.
Current Resident: I like living in Auburndale because I feel safe here and people in the town are nice and sometimes people in the neighborhood will have parties together, every family brings foods and communicate with each other. I like the quiet living environment and here is a great place to live in. In addition, the transportation makes it easier to go to the places I want to go.
Current Resident: Nice people, nice education system. Not a lot of crime except the occasional adolescent drug use. Not noticeable unless you're actually enrolled in high school. The high school has been recently renovated and has a new and modern look. Safe neighborhood, lots of people walking their dogs and jogging, if you pass someone they always smile and say hello. It's a fairly rich and prestigious town. Lots of people are lawyers. Not very diverse, mostly white followed by asian. School uses METCO program which might be nice for some people. School athletics is top notch apparently. Supermarket opened up recently in town center, everything you need is within reach. 20 min drive from inner Boston. Very nice town overall.
Current Resident: I love Brookline first of all because of its beauty and safety. Second, having a five-year-old child, I appreciate the convenience of commuting to schools here and quality of education. Third, I love that there are many restaurants, good grocery stores, and a movie theater nearby.
The only thing that I would like to improve is increasing the number of children's activities around as dance studios, painting studios, gymnastics, etc. There are a few of them around, but not enough for the possibility of making choice.
Current Resident: Belmont has an excellent public school system. The students are motivated and intelligent and the teachers are dedicated. The Arts programs are incredibly strong but under appreciated. The focus at the high school is often pushed towards football even though all the students know the football team is a joke. The girls basketball team does 100x as well but gets less attention. Doing extracurriculars can be expensive, but the school is good about offering scholarships where needed. Finally, the reason I give it 4/5 stars is that although there is some aspect of "entitled rich kid" vibe, kids of all types are mostly embraced and find their way. Also, the schools just really prepare you for college.
Niche User: For the past few years of living in Newton, Massachusetts, I haven't found issues with too much crime. With that said, I haven't found issues with crime at all.
Current Resident: I like how this is a quiet nice town that is safe and clean. The library is nice and quiet with a huge selection of books to choose from. There are a variety of restaurants like Bamboo, Five Guys, Burton's Grill, Evviva Cucina, Paul's Diner, Rangoli Grill, and Seoul Kitchen. Westford also has great summer get-together spots. A big one is Kimball's Farm. They serve ice cream, food and have multiple fun attractions that are reasonably priced. Some of these attractions include a mini golf course, a driving range, batting cages, bumper cars, and even a zip line.
Niche User: We have basically no crime in our area. Whenever we need to call the police for anything they are fast and responsive and they seem well prepared for any situation.
Current Resident: Lincoln is a small town with easy access to the city of Boston and its surrounding towns. It feels like the country, with lots of farms and nature, and it's rather small population-wise, but it has a commuter train and plenty of other attractions close by.

A Majdaneki (vagy Lublini) koncentrációs tábor egy náci Németország által működtetett koncentrációs és megsemmisítő tábor volt Lublin városának külterületén, Lengyelország német megszállása idején, a második világháborúban. Hét gázkamrával, két fa akasztófával és összesen mintegy 227 épülettel rendelkezett, és ezzel a nácik által működtetett koncentrációs táborok közül a legnagyobbak közé tartozott. Habár kezdetben kényszermunkára, nem pedig megsemmisítésre szánták, a Reinhard-hadművelet során – a nácik terve szerint a lengyelországi főkormányzóság területén minden zsidót meg akartak gyilkolni – ipari méretű gyilkosságokra használták. Az 1941. október 1-jétől 1944. július 22-ig működő tábort szinte teljes épségében szabadították fel, mert a szovjet Vörös Hadsereg gyors előrenyomulása a Bagratyion hadművelet során megakadályozta az SS-t abban, hogy lerombolja az infrastruktúra nagy részét, és az alkalmatlan Anton Thernes táborparancsnok-helyettesnek nem sikerült a háborús bűnökre terhelő bizonyítékokat eltávolítania.

A tábort 1941-ben a helyiek Majdanek ("kis Majdan") becenévvel illettek, mivel a tábor Lublin Majdan Tatarski nevű külvárosával volt szomszédos. A náci dokumentumok a helyszínt kezdetben a Waffen-SS lublini hadifogolytáborának nevezték, annak finanszírozása és működtetése alapján. A berlini Birodalmi Biztonsági Főhivatal 1943. április 9-én átnevezte Konzentrationslager Lublin névre, de a helyi lengyel elnevezés máig használatban van.

Felépítése
A Konzentrationslager Lublint 1941 októberében hozták létre Heinrich Himmler, az SS birodalmi vezetőjének parancsára, amelyet Odilo Globocniknak küldtek nem sokkal azután, hogy Himmler 1941. július 17–20-én Lublinban járt, a Barbarossa hadművelet, a Szovjetunió német inváziója során. A Himmler által készített eredeti terv szerint a tábor legalább 25 000 hadifogoly elhelyezésére lett volna alkalmas.

Miután a kijevi csata során nagy számú szovjet hadifoglyot ejtettek, a tábor tervezett kapacitását később 50 000-re növelték. A tábor bővítése 1941. október 1-jén kezdődött el (ahogyan Auschwitz-Birkenauban is, amely ugyanezt a parancsot kapta). November elején a terveket kibővítették 125 000, decemberben pedig 150 000 fogvatartott számára. 1942 márciusában tovább növelték, hogy 250 000 szovjet hadifogoly befogadására legyen lehetőség.

Az építkezés 150 zsidó kényszermunkással kezdődött Globocnik egyik lublini táborából, ahová a foglyok minden este visszatértek. Később 2000 vörös hadseregbeli hadifogoly is dolgozott a munkások között, akiknek extrém körülmények között kellett túlélniük, többek között a szabadban kellett aludniuk. November közepére már csak 500-an voltak közülük életben, akiknek legalább 30%-a nem volt képes további munkára. December közepén már 20 000 ember számára készültek el a barakkok, amikor tífuszjárvány tört ki, és 1942 januárjára az összes rabszolgamunkás – a hadifoglyok és a lengyel zsidók is – meghaltak. Minden munka szünetelt 1942 márciusáig, amikor új foglyok érkeztek. Bár a tábor végül képes volt megközelítőleg 50 000 foglyot befogadni, a tábor nem nőtt jelentősen ennél nagyobbra.

1942 júliusában Himmler ellátogatott Belzecbe, Sobibórba és Treblinkába; a három titkos megsemmisítő táborba, amelyeket a nácik a Reinhard-hadművelet keretében kifejezetten a lengyel zsidóság megsemmisítésére építettek. Ezek a táborok 1942 márciusában, májusában és júliusában kezdték meg működésüket. Ezt követően Himmler parancsot adott ki, hogy 1942 végéig be kell fejezni a zsidók táborokba való deportálását a megszállt Lengyelország öt körzetéből, amelyek a náci Főkormányzóságot (Generalgouvernement) alkották.

Majdanekből a Reinhard-hadművelet kezdetekor másodlagos válogató és tároló raktár lett, a belzeci, sobibori és treblinkai gyilkossági központokban az áldozatoktól elvett vagyon- és értéktárgyak számára. A délkelet-lengyelországi zsidó lakosság nagy száma, köztük a krakkói, lwówi, zamośći és varsói gettók miatt, amelyek még nem voltak "felszámolva", Majdaneket 1942 márciusa körül gyilkolóközpontként újították fel. Az elgázosításokat a többi rab szeme láttára végezték, még kerítés sem volt az épületek körül. Egy másik gyakori gyilkolási módszer a Trawnikimänner osztagok általi lövöldözés volt. A Majdaneki Állami Múzeum szerint a gázkamrák 1942 szeptemberében kezdték meg működésüket.

Majdanekben két egyforma épület található, ahol a Zyklon–B-t használták. A kivégzéseket a 41-es barakkban hajtották végre, a Zyklon–B által kibocsátott kristályos hidrogén-cianid felhasználásával. A 42-es barakkban ugyanezt használták a foglyok ruházatának fertőtlenítésére.

Mivel a hadiiparnak sürgősen szüksége volt külföldi munkaerőre, a lengyelországi zsidó munkásokat eredetileg megkímélték. Egy ideig vagy a gettókban tartották őket fogva, például a varsói gettóban (amely a varsói gettófelkelés után koncentrációs táborrá vált), vagy olyan munkatáborokba küldték őket, mint a Majdaneki, ahol elsősorban a Steyr-Daimler-Puch fegyver- és lőszergyárban dolgoztak.

1942 október közepéig a táborban 9519 regisztrált fogoly volt, ebből 7468 (vagyis 78,45%) zsidó, további 1884 (19,79%) nem zsidó lengyel. 1943 augusztusáig 16 206 fogoly tartózkodott a főtáborban, ebből 9 105 (56,18%) zsidó és 3893 (24,02%) nem zsidó lengyel volt. A kisebbségi kontingensek között fehéroroszok, ukránok, oroszok, németek, osztrákok, szlovének, olaszok, valamint francia és holland állampolgárok voltak. A Majdaneki Állami Múzeum hivatalos adatai szerint 300 000 személy volt a tábor rabja. A foglyok száma egy adott időpontban jóval alacsonyabb volt.

1942 októberétől Majdanekben női felügyelők is voltak. A ravensbrücki koncentrációs táborban kiképzett SS-őrök közé tartoztak: Elsa Ehrich, Hermine Boettcher-Brueckner, Hermine Braunsteiner, Hildegard Lächert, Rosy Suess (Süss) Elisabeth Knoblich-Ernst, Charlotte Karla Mayer-Woellert és Gertrud Heise (1942–1944), akiket később háborús bűnösként elítéltek.

Majdanekben kezdetben nem voltak altáborok. Ezeket 1943 kora őszén csatolták hozzá, amikor a fennmaradó kényszermunkatáborok Lublin körül, köztük Budzyn, Trawniki, Poniatowa, Krasnik, Pulawy, valamint az "Airstrip" ("Flugplatz" és "Lipowa 7") koncentrációs táborok Majdanek altáborai lettek.

1941. szeptember 1-jétől 1942. május 28-ig Alfons Bentele vezette a tábor közigazgatását. Alois Kurz, SS Untersturmführer alkalmazásban állt Majdanekben, Auschwitz-Birkenauban és Mittelbau-Dorában. Nem emeltek vádat ellene. 1943. június 18-án Fritz Ritterbusch a táborba költözött, hogy a parancsnok szárnysegédje legyen.

A tábor Lublinhoz való közelsége miatt a foglyok a táborba érkező civil munkások által kicsempészett leveleken keresztül tudtak kommunikálni a külvilággal. E fennmaradt levelek közül sokat a címzettek a tábori múzeumnak adományoztak. 2008-ban a múzeum egy különleges kiállítást rendezett, amely ezekből a levelekből válogatott anyagot mutatott be.

1943 februárjától a németek engedélyezték a Lengyel Vöröskereszt és a Központi Jóléti Tanács számára, hogy élelmiszereket vigyenek be a táborba. A foglyok a Lengyel Vöröskereszten keresztül névre szóló élelmiszercsomagokat kaphattak. A Majdaneki Múzeum archívumában 10 300 ilyen tételes szállítmányt dokumentáltak.

Erntefest ("Aratóünnep") művelet
A Reinhard-hadművelet 1943. november elejéig folytatódott, amikor az "Aratóünnep" során a Trawniki férfiak lemészároltak a Főkormányzóság lublini körzetéhez tartozó Majdanek altáborrendszer utolsó zsidó foglyait. A majdaneki főtábor tekintetében a leghírhedtebb kivégzésekre 1943. november 3-án került sor, amikor egyetlen nap alatt 18 400 zsidót öltek meg. Másnap reggel 25 zsidót, akiknek sikerült elrejtőzniük, megtaláltak és agyonlőttek. Eközben 611 másik rabnak, 311 nőnek és 300 férfinak megparancsolták, hogy válogassák át a halottak ruháit és fedjék be a temetési árkokat. A férfiakat később a Sonderkommando 1005-be osztották be, ahol ugyanezeket a holttesteket kellett hamvasztás céljából exhumálniuk. Ezeket az embereket aztán kivégezték. A 311 nőt később Auschwitzba küldték, ahol gázzal megölték őket. Az "Aratóünnep" művelet végére Majdanekben a 6562 fogolyból mindössze 71 zsidó maradt életben.

A megmaradt foglyok kivégzése a következő hónapokban is folytatódott Majdanekben. 1943 decembere és 1944 márciusa között Majdanek hozzávetőlegesen 18 000 úgynevezett "rokkantat" fogadott be, akik közül sokukat később Zyklon B-vel gázosítottak el. A kivégzőosztag általi kivégzések is folytatódtak: 1944. január 21-én 600, 1944. január 23-án 180, 1944. március 24-én pedig 200 kivégzést hajtottak végre.

Karl Höcker szárnysegéd háború utáni pere dokumentálta a táborban elkövetett tömeggyilkosságokban való bűnösségét."1989. május 3-án a németországi Bielefeld városának kerületi bírósága négy év börtönbüntetésre ítélte Höckert azért, mert közreműködött a lengyelországi Majdaneki koncentrációs táborban foglyok, elsősorban lengyel zsidók elgázosításában. A tábori feljegyzésekből kiderült, hogy 1943 májusa és 1944 májusa között Höcker legalább 3 610 kilogramm Zyklon–B mérges gázt szerzett be a Majdanekben való felhasználásra a hamburgi Tesch & Stabenow cégtől."Ezenkívül Rudolf Höss auschwitzi parancsnok emlékirataiban a lengyelországi tárgyalásra várva azt írta, hogy Majdanekben (KZ Lublin) alkalmazott egyik gyilkossági módszer a Zyklon–B volt.

Evakuálás
1944. július végén, amikor a szovjet erők gyorsan közeledtek Lublin felé, a németek sietve kiürítették a tábort. A személyzetnek azonban csak részben sikerült megsemmisítenie a krematóriumokat, mielőtt a szovjet Vörös Hadsereg csapatai 1944. július 24-én megérkeztek volna, Majdanek pedig a holokauszt legjobban megőrzött táborává vált, köszönhetően a parancsnokhelyettes, Anton Thermes hozzá nem értéséhez. Ez volt az első nagyobb koncentrációs tábor, amelyet a szövetséges erők felszabadítottak, és az ott talált borzalmak széles körben nyilvánosságra kerültek.

Bár korábban 1000 foglyot erőszakkal Auschwitzba hurcoltak (akiknek csak a fele érkezett meg élve), a Vörös Hadsereg még mindig több ezer foglyot, főként hadifoglyokat talált a táborban, és bőséges bizonyítékot az ott történt tömeggyilkosságokra.

Halálos áldozatok száma
A hivatalos becslést 78 000 áldozatról, ebből 59 000 zsidóról Tomasz Kranz, a Majdaneki Állami Múzeum kutatási osztályának igazgatója 2005-ben határozta meg, és a Höfle-távirat 2000-es felfedezése után számította ki. Ez a szám közel áll a múzeum honlapján jelenleg feltüntetett számhoz. Az áldozatok összlétszáma sokáig vitatott volt, kezdve Zdzisław Łukaszkiewicz bíró 1948-ban végzett kutatásával, aki megközelítőleg 360 000 áldozatot jelentett. Ezt követte Czesław Rajca (1992), a Majdanek Múzeum munkatársa által készített, 235 000 körüli áldozatra vonatkozó becslés, amelyre a múzeum évekig hivatkozott. Rajca a jelenlegi számot "hihetetlenül alacsonynak" tartja, ennek ellenére a múzeum igazgatótanácsa "bizonyos óvatossággal" elfogadta, amíg további kutatásokat végeznek azon foglyok számáról, akiket a német táborigazgatás nem vett fel a holokausztvonatok nyilvántartásába. Egyelőre a múzeum tájékoztatása szerint az új kutatások alapján mintegy 150 ezer fogoly érkezett Majdanekbe a tábor 34 hónapos fennállása alatt. A Reinhard-hadművelet során meggyilkolt több mint 2 000 000 zsidó ember közül mintegy 60 000 zsidót (56 000 név szerint ismert)  egész biztosan Majdanekben pusztítottak el, az összesen közel 80 000 áldozat között.

A szovjetek eleinte jelentősen túlbecsülték a halálos áldozatok számát, és 1944 júliusában a nürnbergi perben azt állították, hogy nem kevesebb, mint 400 000 zsidó áldozatról van szó, a hivatalos szovjet számítás pedig 1,5 millió különböző nemzetiségű áldozatról szólt. Raymond Arthur Davies független kanadai újságíró, aki Moszkvában dolgozott és a Kanadai Zsidó Kongresszus alkalmazásában állt 1944. augusztus 28-án látogatást tett Majdanekben. Másnap táviratot küldött Saul Hayesnek, a Kanadai Zsidó Kongresszus ügyvezető igazgatójának. A levélben ez állt:"Szeretném [hangsúlyozni], hogy Majdanek, ahol egymillió zsidót és félmillió [másik] embert öltek meg" és "Elmondhatja Amerikának, hogy legalább három millió [lengyel] zsidót öltek meg, akiknek legalább egyharmadát Majdanekben ölték meg" és bár széles körben beszámoltak róla, a becslést a tudósok soha nem vették komolyan.

Raul Hilberg 1961-es becslése szerint 50 000 zsidó áldozat halt meg a táborban. 1992-ben Czesław Rajca 235 000-re becsülte az áldozatok számát; a tábori múzeumban mutatta be. A Majdaneki Állami Múzeum tudományos osztályának vezetője, Tomasz Kranz történész 2005-ben végzett kutatása szerint 79 000 áldozat volt, közülük 59 000 zsidó.

A becslések közötti különbségek a becsléshez használt különféle módszerekből és a kutatók rendelkezésére álló bizonyítékok mennyiségéből adódnak. A szovjet adatok a legdurvább módszertanra támaszkodtak, amelyet auschwitzi becsléseknél is alkalmaztak – feltételezték, hogy az áldozatok száma nagyjából megfelelt a krematóriumi kapacitásoknak. A későbbi kutatók sokkal több bizonyítékot próbáltak figyelembe venni, felhasználva a deportálásokról készült feljegyzéseket, a korabeli népszámlálásokat és a helyreállított náci feljegyzéseket. Hilberg 1961-es becslése e feljegyzések felhasználásával szorosan illeszkedik Kranz jelentéséhez.

A majdaneki második krematórium jól megőrződött eredeti kemencéit 1943-ban Heinrich Kori építette. Az 1942-es Sachsenhauseni koncentrációs táborból Majdanekbe hozott kemencéket váltották fel.

Utóhatás
A tábor elfoglalása után, 1944 augusztusában a szovjetek megvédték a tábor területét, és összehívtak egy lengyel–szovjet különbizottságot, hogy kivizsgálja és dokumentálja a Majdanekben elkövetett emberiség elleni bűnöket. Ez az erőfeszítés az egyik első kísérlet volt a náci háborús bűnök dokumentálására Kelet-Európában.1944 őszén megalapították a Majdaneki Állami Múzeumot a Majdaneki koncentrációs tábor területén. 1947-ben a lengyel parlament rendelete alapján a tényleges tábor mártíremlékművé vált. Ugyanebben az évben mintegy 1300 m3 emberi hamuval és csonttöredékekkel kevert felszíni földet gyűjtöttek össze, és egy nagy halommá alakították. Majdanek 1965-ben megkapta a nemzeti múzeumi státuszt.

A tábor náci személyzetének egy része ellen közvetlenül a háború után, más része ellen pedig az azt követő évtizedekben indult büntetőeljárás. 1944 novemberében és decemberében négy SS-férfit és két kápót állítottak bíróság elé; az egyik öngyilkos lett, a többieket 1944. december 3-án felakasztották. Az utolsó nagyszabású, széles nyilvánosságot kapott büntetőeljárás () 16 hajdani SS-tag ellen 1975 és 1981 között zajlott Nyugat-Németországban. A Majdanekben dolgozó és név szerint ismert 1037 SS-tag közül azonban csak 170 ellen indult eljárás. Ennek oka a nyugatnémet igazságszolgáltatás által alkalmazott szabály volt, miszerint csak a gyilkossági folyamatban közvetlenül részt vevők ellen lehetett vádat emelni.

A Majdaneki tábor szovjet NKVD általi használata
Miután a tábort a szovjet hadsereg elfoglalta, az NKVD megtartotta a kész létesítményt mint börtönt a lengyel emigráns kormányhoz hű Honi Hadsereg és a német és a szovjet megszállással szemben álló Narodowe Siły Zbrojne (Nemzeti Fegyveres Erők) katonáinak. Az NKVD, akárcsak előtte az SS, ugyanazokat a létesítményeket használta a lengyel hazafiak bebörtönzésére és kínzására.

1944. augusztus 19-én az emigrációban levő lengyel kormánynak adott jelentésben a Honi Hadsereg (AK) lublini körzetéből a következőket írták: "Az AK katonáinak tömeges letartóztatásait az NKVD az egész régióban végzi. Ezeket a letartóztatásokat a Lengyel Nemzeti Felszabadítási Bizottság eltűri, az AK katonákat pedig a Majdaneki táborban tartják fogva. Nemzetünk és a Honi Hadsereg veszteségei megegyeznek azokkal a veszteségekkel, amelyeket a német megszállás alatt szenvedtünk el. Vérünkkel fizetünk érte."

A Majdaneki NKVD-tábor foglyai között voltak az AK volhíniai tagjai és azon AK-egységek katonái, amelyek Varsó felé tartottak, hogy csatlakozzanak a varsói felkeléshez. 1944. augusztus 23-án mintegy 250 majdaneki fogvatartottat szállítottak a Lublin Tatary vasútállomásra. Ott valamennyiüket marhavagonba rakták, és Szibériába, valamint a Szovjetunió más területeinek táboraiba vitték

Megemlékezés

1969 júliusában, a tábor felszabadulásának 25. évfordulóján egy nagyméretű emlékművet állítottak a helyszínen, amelyet Wiktor Tołkin (más néven: Victor Tolkin) tervezett. Két részből áll: egy kaput formázó emlékmű a tábor bejáratánál és egy nagy mauzóleum, amely az áldozatok hamvait tartalmazza.

2005 októberében a Majdaneki Múzeummal együttműködve négy Majdanek-túlélő visszatért a helyszínre, és lehetővé tette a régészek számára, hogy megtalálják a rabok által elásott mintegy 50 tárgyat, köztük órákat, fülbevalókat és jegygyűrűket. A Buried Prayers című dokumentumfilm szerint ez volt az eddigi legnagyobb bejelentett értéktárgy-mentés egy haláltáborban. A kormányzati történészek és a zsidó túlélők közötti interjúk 2005 előtt nem voltak gyakoriak.

A tábor ma az eredeti 2,7 km2 (kb. 670 hektár) felét foglalja el, és az egykori épületek kivételével nagyrészt kopár. A 2010. augusztusi tűz elpusztította az egyik faépületet, amelyet múzeumként használtak, s hétezer fogoly cipőjét tárolták benne. Lublin városának területe a második világháború vége óta megháromszorozódott, ma már a főtábor is Lublin városának határain belül található. Több ház és lakás kertje határos a táborral.

2016-ban a Majdaneki Állami Múzeumnak és a hozzá tartozó, Sobibórnak és Bełżecnek mintegy 210 000 látogatója volt. Ez 10 000 látogatóval több volt, mint az előző évben. A látogatók között zsidók, lengyelek és mások is vannak, akik többet szeretnének megtudni az emberiség ellen elkövetett kegyetlen bűnökről.

In 2001, Hernando de Soto met with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss the country's massive informality and growing poverty, but over the next several years there was silence from the Kremlin about a formal collaboration with the ILD. Then, in 2007, Mr. de Soto was invited to speak at the Forum on National Business hosted by Delovaya Russia, an organization made up of entrepreneurs and leaders of mid-sized businesses. During this visit, Mr. de Soto was invited to the Kremlin to meet with Putin's Deputy Chief of Staff, Igor Ivanovich Shuvalov, and other high level advisors to the President. Mr. Shuvalov mentioned that in his 2005 State of the Union address, President Putin had launched his own version of the ILD Program and then laws to title some 350,000 dachas.

Cover Description: Green Lantern, Booster Gold, and Superman pursue Professor Zoom.
Brief Synopsis: The Time Masters search for Bruce Wayne is sidetracked by a need to ensure the dawn of the Atomic Age.
Issue Notes: Tie-in to Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne.
As seen at the conclusion to the previous issue, Booster Gold, Claw, Green Lantern, Rip Hunter, Skeets, Starfire, and Superman are trapped in a time vortex generated inside the castle of the wizard Serhattu. Booster is only a spectator as Green Lantern finally proves his worth against the trap.
I haven't visited as many "bases" as Hal Jordon, but most people who have lived in the nuclear era should probably be able to recognize the tower structure commonly used by the United States for above-ground nuclear tests in the 1940s and 50s.
The world's first atomic bomb was detonated on the White Sands Proving Ground in central New Mexico. The bomb was the culmination of the Manhattan Project, a top-secret United States operation to develop an atomic bomb before the Axis powers. The name of the test site, "Trinity," was suggested by J. Robert Oppenheimer, scientific director of the Project.
Even comic book characters want to look cool while walking way from an explosion. But, um, say, has anybody seen Skeets lately? Like, say, since the Time Masters escaped from the deadly time vortex?
Whew. There he is. Skeets has made the journey with the others to White Sands, New Mexico, on July 16, 1945. If local time is 5:17:12 AM, the first atomic bomb will be detonated in 12 minutes and 33 seconds.
The base camp for the scientists supervising the bomb's detonation was 10 miles south of the Trinity site.
Three manned bunkers were built within 10,000 yards of the Trinity site. Oppenheimer directed the bomb detonation from one of these bunkers. A radio operator notes that there are 30 seconds until detonation.
POWER DOWN: It is unclear how much time had passed between the Time Master's arrival in 1945 (as seen on page 11) and their trip to base camp (as seen on page 16), but it is certain that less than 12 minutes were remaining before detonation when the Time Masters left base camp for the Trinity site on the previous page. If events in the previous panel took place while the Time Masters were still at base camp, Superman would have flown 10 miles in under 30 seconds, better than twice the speed of sound, to reach Serhattu and Skyle before detonation. While this may be well within the demonstrated capabilities of Superman (or Green Lantern in space), Booster Gold has never been able to fly faster than the speed of sound in any environment or time period.
Boosterrific Review: A better issue than the last, this comic is chock full of activity and revelations even as it struggles to address its tenuous connection to Batman: the Return of Bruce Wayne. The events of this issue are told in a style similar to that used by Jurgens during his tenure writing Superman stories 20 years ago. Several subplots, happening nearly simultaneously (if that is the right word for time travel stories), dovetail fluidly, increasing the tension and allowing each story to develop at its own pace. The Timer Masters' trip to the dawn of the Atomic Age may seem like a sidetrack even for a mini-series about sidetracks, but the one-and-done nature of the trip is refreshing after several issues of prolonged swords-and-sorcery tales. Still, it is the story of the Black Beetle's adventures that are the most intriguing in this series, and the hope his story this will one day play a larger role in the adventures of Booster Gold and the DC Universe is more than enough reason to keep reading.
Continued enjoyment of this series. Now that I appreciate it as a precursor to Flashpoint, even my lingering complaints about it not be connected to the search for Batman are gone.
There's a little art mistake in the splash page, (when all the heroes are in the vortex), in the costume of Starfire, her left leg should not be visible, her costume cover that leg.
I love this series if for no other reason than the revelations of old-Booster's relationship to young-Rip, and I can't help thinking that this should be the storyline playing out in Booster Gold, hell the time traveling team of time masters might help boost sales of Booster Gold. and in the end, isn't a self sustaining Booster-centric book the goal?
Jurgens has some interesting plots brewing with Rips' past, who the current Supernova is (the hints might answer a question raised above) and what Black Beetle is trying to do. I am a little confused with it saying Waverider was killed when the 52 was created given his death in the max-series. My favorite Booster read of the month.

For many years people have been trying to figure out what makes a person gay. Scientists, psychologists, and theologists alike have been stumped.
Of course, all they have to do is ask Schenectady City Council member Joseph Allen. He knows what makes kids gay: advertising.
You see, in Schenectady, New York, an LGBT advocacy group called In Our Own Voices, along with the state Department of Health, began a billboard campaign that's part advocacy and part HIV prevention. And let me tell you, the billboards are scandalous.
One billboard has a photo of a young African-American man surrounded by his family. It looks like his mom and his dad and maybe his brother. Or his boyfriend. That part is not clear. Next to the photo it reads, "I AM GAY" and underneath says, "And this is where I stay," followed by, "We have always been a part of this community." The billboard also contains IOOV's website and phone number.
According to the Schenectady Daily Gazette, the other two billboards in the series include photos of gay black men in church and playing basketball. Each billboard includes "I AM GAY" and the message about community.
In any case, some folks in Schenectady are super pissed about these billboards and so they took their concerns before the City Council at their Jan. 10 meeting.
Exactly. What gay person doesn't remember seeing his or her first billboard and deciding right then and there to be gay? Thompkins clearly understands how this whole gay thing works.
And who can blame her? Gay men with their families? Gay men in church? Sick. It's enough to make a child's eyes explode into pools of flamin' hot blood.
You have to hope that the people on the Schenectady City Council have some sense even if some of their constituents don't.
That's where councilmember Joseph Allen comes in. He agreed with both of the people who spoke out against the billboards and offered his own searing insight.
It is not clear from the news story whether a rabbi was consulted, but Allen did worry about the impact of the billboards on kids.
But they should. Because Allen apparently thinks that there's something pornographic about the word "gay" paired with a photo of a gay man and his family. And by claiming that "vulnerable" young people would read the billboards, he's perpetuating the completely false idea that gays somehow recruit kids.
But in Allen's Schenectady that's apparently a negative message. Seeing as he "called for legislation that would require billboard owners to get their messages approved by the council" (which was quickly smacked down per the whole freedom of speech thing), it's frightening to think what he would deem appropriate.

Sinatra and Brazil
Frank Sinatra had a very real connection to Brazil. Of course, he connected everywhere, but when you single out that sultry-hot, glistening South American country that's alive with music everywhere, you notice Ol' Blue Eyes seemed to think that place was pretty special. Now, in the middle of my own Brazilian tour, I can attest to just how amazing Brazil is to perform in.
Surprisingly, Sinatra only did two appearances in Brazil and both were later in his career. In 1980 he broke the Guinness World Record for the largest live audience for a single artist when 175,000 happy fans saw him in Rio de Janeiro. He returned in 1981 to put on a few shows for only 700 lucky individuals just down the coast in São Paulo.
On The Voice's 1958 album, Come Fly with Me, he sings the famous Brazilian song that's simply called "Brazil" in English. After his recording, artists such as Bing Crosby and Paul Anka would cover it too.
There's also the 1946 song Frank did called, The Coffee Song. If you're familiar with the tune, you've probably just sung, "They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil," in your head! And guess what? While you may not get fined for drinking water in Brazil, as is stated in the lyrics, it's definitely the place to be for coffee fans.
And the, of course, there's the 1967 album, Francis Albert Sinatra & Antônio Carlos Jobim, where he teams with the Brazilian bossa nova giant for a truly ground-breaking work. You may remember that I wrote about this recently.
Brazil has been spectacular. The scenery is gorgeous and, just as with the coffee, the people drink up Sinatra's music as if it's an addiction. Who can blame them? I still have a couple shows left, then it's off to Chile!
What's your take on this subject?

Q: Blazor - Connection closed I keep getting the error message "Cannot send data if the connectionis not in the 'Connected' State" in my Blazor server app. The problem occurs irregularly and only on the server (Windows 2016), not in my local development environment (Win 10 - VS 2019).
Attached is a screenshot of the console.
Any idea why the connection keeps closing?
With many thanks in advance
Peter Breuer

A:
Any idea why the connection keeps closing?

Yes, it's very clearly stated that there was an unhandled exception on the current circuit. Circuit objects are very sensitive and their misuse may lead to security issues and most importantly to a chaotic state in your application. Therefore, if an exception is thrown and not handled properly, Blazor immediately closes the connection. That's the best way to prevent serious issues. Now, when the connection is closed, your application is actually dead. Consequently, many other exceptions are thrown.
But the issue is not with your connection. A closed connection is only the symptom; you need, however, look for the underlying issues from which your application suffers. Handling exception not only will prevent the closing of the connection, but can also point you out in direction of the issues.
Note: Is your Web Api is running ? Start first with ascertaining this. Check your app settings configurations, etc. Do you use HttpContext in your application ? HttpContext is not available in Server Blazor App as Blazor employs SignalR, not HTTP as a means of transportations, but developers on local development devises think that using HttpContext is fine, but after deploying their app to a server they start to understand the warning they refused to heed. I can go on like this...there are many roads to a place...

For two regular-season championship coaches, two different perspectives on robbed March Madness dreams
Stephen F. Austin finished 19-1 in Southland play. North Texas was 14-4 in C-USA competition.

By Sam Blum
3:35 PM on Mar 24, 2020 CDT
NBA scouts came to watch Kevon Harris play this season for Stephen F. Austin. They saw the senior put up 17.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. They saw him score 20 points in the first 20 minutes at Duke. And they saw him lead SFA to a 28-3 record.
But Harris still needed to prove himself as an NBA draft prospect. The NCAA Tournament, the sport's largest stage, was an opportunity. Post-grad pro showcases such as the Portsmouth Invitational and NBA workouts were other opportunities.
None of that will happen.
"Man, it was real important. It was everything I was looking forward to all season," Harris said. "I was speechless, man. It definitely hurt, man. Just knowing what I could have done, and how far we could have gone. That just hit me different, man. Because I knew what I was gonna do in the tournament, what I had planned."
And for Harris and Stephen F. Austin (28-3, 19-1 Southland), it's another reminder of what was robbed from them when the college basketball season was abruptly cut short March 12 because of coronavirus concerns.
The Lumberjacks, along with North Texas (20-11, 14-4 C-USA), were two Texas teams that had stellar seasons. They won their regular-season conference titles. They had chances to make the NCAA Tournament and win games. Now, both are left to reconcile historical seasons with the disappointment of never getting to finish them.
One coach, UNT's Grant McCasland, looks at the season with gratitude. SFA coach Kyle Keller is quicker to acknowledge how deflating it was to prematurely end what might have been a magical March.
"Literally the moment we told our team the season was ended, we tried to be grateful," said McCasland. "For us, we just tried to remind them that we did get to cut down nets. … For a lot of teams, they didn't get to have any kind of celebration."
McCasland said his associate head coach, Ross Hodge, had been predicting to the staff weeks in advance that the coronavirus would potentially wreak havoc on March Madness. Many didn't follow in his fears, though, with McCasland joking that Hodge tends to look at things with a more glass-half-empty perspective. But it turned out to be a prescient prediction.
Keller laments the lost feeling of community sports can offer.
"I think we play a game," said Keller. "And sports to me has brought people together. So I hate the fact that sports can't bring people together in a really tragic time in our world. That to me is what I hate more than anything else. I hate it for our society, because to me, that's what it's always done."
Keller stressed the magnitude of what is going on in the world, and said he hopes his players use this time to connect with the people they love most.
He also thought of his three seniors. For Harris, there will be a chance to play professionally, somewhere. For John Comeaux and Nathan Bain, both starters and key contributors, they may have put on a jersey in a competitive game for the final time. Bain famously hit the buzzer-beating layup to defeat Duke. It's a career-defining moment in a season that will always be incomplete.
"The expectations, to me with success, is not determined with what you do throughout the year," Keller said. "It's what you do in March, against the best of the best. And this team didn't get that chance. To me it's just another regular-season conference champion, like a lot of teams around here have been. And with an asterisk."
For both programs, the hope is there will be a chance to win again next year. SFA is bringing in Grand Prairie's Jaylin Jackson-Posey — a player who had offers from schools such as Texas Tech and Texas A&M. UNT had just one senior starter, and will bring back an experienced group.
Both coaches understand that the NCAA granting seniors another year of eligibility is unlikely. But they differ in how they view this season.
For McCasland, he looks back and feels satisfaction with what was accomplished, mixed in with disappointment. For Keller, a team that could have been the school's best will never have a chance to prove it.
"There's a lot of disappointment that goes into not being able to finish," McCasland said. "But we will completely put our attention on what we were blessed to experience in the Super Pit by cutting down nets."
What this pause in operations means for college basketball is still to be determined. We know players such as Harris — fringe NBA draft prospects — won't be able to improve their stock in the postseason.
But what we don't know is what it means for the spring and summer months usually spent recruiting. In the short term, McCasland said recruits can take virtual tours, and the current team can connect with video training and physical challenges sent from the strength staff.
We don't know what the coaching carousel will look like — especially without a Final Four coaches' convention. Theoretically, Keller and McCasland might have been prime candidates for high-major jobs this offseason.
It also remains unclear how robust the transfer market will be or if many players will test the NBA draft waters. Those are questions both coaches said will take time to sort out.
"Oh, man," Keller said when asked what this means for college basketball. "I wish I could give you that answer today."
For now, coaches all over the country are left to make sense of what happened and where to go from here. For two regular-season championship coaches from Texas, there will be two ways to remember it.
"We had a heck of a year," Keller said. "These kids here had done just about everything I'd asked them to do. And not to get a chance to measure themselves against maybe the best team that had ever been here at SFA is tragic.
"You can imagine the tears that were shed. And not to be able to say, 'Hey, they were the best team at Stephen F. Austin' … they'll never have that opportunity. It's sad."

Record-shattering government spending, taxes, deficits, and debt threaten a downward spiral in the American people's standard of living, ultimately stealing the American dream.
The welfare state is melting down. State and local governments are reeling under the burden of runaway public-employee pensions, dysfunctional education bureaucracies, and belligerent public-sector unions. In the past, the state governments have turned to the federal government to bail them out. But the federal government is broke.
In chilling detail, former Reagan administration adviser Peter Ferrara documents the looming collapse of the American social safety net and describes what will happen when the government goes bankrupt. He also introduces us to his vision for the way forward: a new concept that he calls "prosperity independence." Ferrara supports sweeping tax reform to maximize economic growth, and fundamental entitlement reform to replace our outdated redistribution-based welfare state with a modernized comprehensive social safety net.
Utilizing modern capital, labor, and insurance markets, these reforms will accomplish far more than our current entitlement programs could ever hope to do, at a fraction of the cost. In addition to balancing our national budget and cutting back on government power, control, taxation, and spending, America will finally win the War on Poverty.

I have always thought of land borders as permanent entities, that they don't move, in the same way as lakes or mountains. But instead I'm beginning to see them more like stories that we all tell and retell each other til we render them infallible. The border separating Ireland and Northern Ireland was not something that ever seemed possible to even discuss, so politically charged and sensitive a topic. But in the last few years and with conversations surrounding Brexit and the potential fallout from a dismantled United Kingdom, other things, other stories, seem chaotically possible. Being here in Korea and trying to understand its complex relationship with its northern counterpart has got me thinking about ideas of borders and divisions within nations, and how we define ourselves by what we are not. Here's a podcast from BBC Radio 4, an interview with an author Garret Carr who spent 2017 walking along the border of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
He asks "can a border also be a place, not just a divider, but a place where people can meet, can it be a place rather than a void?"


For the owners of old diesel cars who live around the most polluted cities, there are 3 options on the table: firstly, the manufacturers should buy back the Euro 4 and 5 vehicles. Then the government should offer an exchange action, so that the customers can buy a Euro-6 vehicle cheaper. Finally a retrofit of the car 80% at expense of the manufacturers will be possible. Next Monday at a coalition summit, the government will make a decision.

Seyi Makinde, Olagunsoye Oyinlola and other Southwest leaders failed to settle the PDP complicated issues in Ekiti State. Odeyemi
The Ekiti state Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), chapter throw deeply divided due to the failed measures put in place to reconcile the party by Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, former Osun State Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola and other Southwest leaders to settle the complicated issues.
Prince Diran Odeyemi, the PDP Deputy National Publicity Secretary, unveiled this, and explained duo factions as "two parallel lines who had failed to bow to settle the complicated issues."
Ngrealnews gathered that, PDP Deputy National Publicity Secretary, who is also the Secretary of the Caretaker Committee inaugurated by the National Working Committee (NWC) to run the affairs of the Ekiti chapter crisis said on BOTTOM LINE, a political discourse programme on New Cruse 92.7 FM, in Ikere Ekiti.
Mr. Jackson Adebayo, the Ekiti state former PDP Publicity Secretary, who also said on the programme, alleged Ayo Fayose, the former Governor of Ekiti state for embracing the All Progressives Congress (APC) and working for the interests of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, its National Leader.
Adebayo, the former PDP Publicity Secretary, who is a chairman of the PDP Repositioning Group, which is loyal to Senator Biodun Olujimi, the lawmaker representing Ekiti South in the Senate, affirmed that the congress which produced Mr. Kehinde Odebunmi as Presided Officer as the valid one.
However, Odeyemi emphatically that NWC acknowledge Mr Bisi Kolawole, who confirmed from the congress aided by Fayose as the authentic state party chairman pleading the duo factions to come together, allow peace to reign and move on to be a vibrant opposition in the state.
Adebayo Described Kolawole as an "illegal chairman", said the Ekiti PDP chapter will not be accepted to be run like a private property emphasized that the Odebunmi-led exco had resolved not to use the building reportedly owned by Fayose as party secretariat alleging that the former governor had sold the new secretariat.
The duo factions constituted parallel state congresses on Saturday at two different area in Ado Ekiti inaugurated parallel state executive committees. They had previously constituted parallel ward and local government congresses.
Prince Diran Odeyemi said: "The two sides are parallel lines and they have remained adamant. Former Governor Oyinlola, Governor Seyi Makinde and other PDP leaders in neighbouring states have come to intervene but all to no avail.
"Let party members forgive themselves, it's about give and take. Fayose is not a saint and Olujimi is not a devil. We will continue to manage ourselves, we will continue to talk to ourselves to resolve this crisis.
"As it is now, the party recognises Bisi Kolawole as Chairman and it behooves on him to go to the aggrieved persons one after the other and beg them to return for a solid party in Ekiti."
Mr. Jackson Adebayo also said: "The Repositioning Group constitutes 85 per cent in the party and the congress, which produced Hon Odebunmi is the valid one and he is the authentic chairman.
"Fayose is romancing APC, Fayose is romancing Tinubu. We don't want a leader who will be romancing APC in Lagos and come back to Ekiti and claiming to belong to PDP, we won't accept that.
"Many who left the party because of Fayose would have returned if not for Fayose's shenanigans. The party belongs to the people and not a personal property of anybody.
"That is why our chairman (Odebunmi) said we cannot use the property belonging to Fayose because our new secretariat has been sold by the former governor because he wanted to exchange that with this building to cover-up which the party will not allow."

[T]he OECD leading indicator fell 0.3% in November, the 8th decline in a row, and it now stands at its lowest level since November 2009 — when nobody was even certain that the global recession was over! Only Russia, China and Canada (!) escaped a decline (all stagnated — in this economic climate, flat is the new up). Europe was by far the weakest (-0.7%) but the U.S. is also showing signs of fraying around the edges (down 0.1% and negative now for seven months running). Don't make the 2008 mistake of confusing decoupling for lags. The European recession back then lagged the U.S. by one to two quarters and we would not be surprised to see this work in reverse this time around.

Tampa Bay's 33, second-period shots at Blackhawks' goalie Cam Ward set an NHL record Sunday, and that juiced the Lightning to a 6-3 win in Chicago.
Tampa Bay forward Anthony Cirelli led the team with nine shots on goal, and his goal 4:22 into the second gave the Lightning a 2-1 lead. The super quick Lightning spent most of the second period in the Chicago end.
Alexandre Fortin, David Kampf and Nick Schmaltz scored for Chicago. Ward made 49 saves, the most by a Blackhawks goalie since Nikolai Khabibulin's 56 against the Detroit Red Wings on April 5, 2007.
For the Lightning, Brayden Point (cover photo) had a goal and two assists, and Nikita Kucherov and Victor Hedman each had a goal and an assist for the Lightning, whose 55 shots on goal were the most in their history.
Chicago forward Alex DeBrincat's seven-game scoring streak ended Sunday. DeBrincat had one shot on goal.
Tampa Bay goalie Louis Domingue made 33 saves.
The NHL officially began tracking shots-on-goal during the 1997-98 season, and no team threw more rubber at the net in one period than Tampa Bay did Sunday.
The Dallas Stars and Montreal Canadiens held the previous single-period record for shots on net with 30.
The Blackhawks: (4-2-2) host Anaheim (5-3-1) Tuesday. Puck drops at 7:30 p.m. CDST. 8:30 p.m.
Tampa Bay (5-1-1) is at Colorado Wednesday to take on the Avalanche (5-1-2). Puck drops at 8:30 p.m. CDST.

The Need for International Solidarity
The Left in the United States is loosely defined these days. According to the mainstream media, it's a simple binary; Republicans = Right/Democrats = Left. The reality is much more complicated than this arbitrary binary enforced by political pundits and talking heads on Fox News or MSNBC.
The true Left in the United States is a mix of progressives, communists, anarchists, socialists, labor organizers, black militants, radical Chicanos, radical-left religious folks, and leftist intellectuals and journalists like Cornel West and Chris Hedges. I would argue that any person who is a self-proclaimed Democrat isn't a leftist. Those folks are agents or disingenuous people who claim that the leftist politics and views are the same as the DNC platform. Joe Biden is a segregationist who pushed the conservative Reagan Administration to be tougher on the "War on Drugs." That's not exactly left-wing in my book, no matter how many right-wing pundits claim Biden is a 'secret socialist.' He's the self-proclaimed leader of the Democratic Party with an almost 50 year history of being one of the most conservative Democrats.
In the United States, actual leftists are scorned and mocked by those that swear allegiance to their favorite political party, whether it's the Neo-Conservative Republicans or the 'Rainbow Conservative' Democratic Party. The DNC allows more women, queer, and black and brown people in token leadership roles as long as they promote the same horrible status quo. Shout out to Pete, Obama, and Kamala! It's a lonely journey being a true leftist in a nation where many of my fellow citizens have been propagandized by school, media, political leaders, family, and Facebook about how the world works. While party line voters will gleefully claim the 'lesser of two evils', despite the fact that evil is still evil.
Within the leftist movement, we've also succumbed to many divisions as well. We try to out-woke each other and tout what fancy theory we've read lately or how our type of leftism is the most pure. We stan so-called progressive politicians, podcast hosts, and celebrity activists as our new saviors. This all unfolds on Twitter daily. Outside social media spaces in community and labor organizing, you see "so-called" left-wing leaders angling for non-profit status, jumpstarting their political careers, or getting a gig on cable news. Shout out to Ben Dixon!
When I left the U.S Navy in 2005 and joined the anti-war protest in college, I was saddened to see many of my peers spouting Fox News talking points or blindly supporting wars in foreign lands because it allegedly made their lives 'better' in the United States. It's true, another world is possible, but to make that world possible, the U.S. left needs to stop trying to one-up each other and look to the past.
In the past, true left-wing movements understood international solidarity. The issues at home were also impacted by the issues abroad too. Unchecked capitalism, corporate greed, environmental destruction, climate change, endless war, right-wing populism, sexism, racism, and extreme poverty in the face of massive wealth transfer to the billionaire class are all connected. The continued crisis at the U.S Southern border is tied to the U.S.'s economic imperialist policies enacted in Latin America well before WWII. The 'War on Drugs' has only made a shitty situation in Latin America far worse. We see police murder in the United States in communities of black, Latino, Indigenous, and poor white people. Police murder poor people in countries and places like the Gaza strip, Brazil, the Philippines, and Nigeria. The bombs raining down in Gaza by Israeli forces are the same bombs raining down on the children in Iraq and Afghanistan. The uprising against austerity cuts has been sparked across the globe since the days of Occupy Wall Street. Amidst the worse global pandemic in a century, we've seen the massive transfer of wealth from rich to poor continue. The West hordes the vaccine formula to enrich big Pharma and ensure the developing world has to play to 'pay for play' politics to gain access to life-saving medicine.
It's all connected, and I strongly believe that U.S. leftists need to look beyond our borders to understand that we can't win this alone. There's no one politician or political party that will save us all. We need to do the work ourselves. One of the easiest lifts we can do in the U.S. to spark a global movement is a new labor movement. In the 1930s, during the Great Depression, labor organizers won massive victories home and abroad. Not because of the 'powers that be' gave in because they had goodness in their hearts. No, because workers of the world fought and bled for every concession. I currently organize labor with Progressive Workers Union, and we've seen massive labor organizing since the start of the pandemic. Most notably, the workers of Amazon. We have comrades across the world!
Revolution doesn't have to be guerrilla warfare in the streets of Chicago, Jakarta, or Atlanta. No, but revolution does start within.
The Black Panthers march in protest of the trial of co-founder Huey P. Newton in Oakland, California.
Our leftist heroes of the past made many mistakes. But they also won many victories, and they understood the importance of connecting and building with our comrades across the globe. MLK understood this, Malcolm X did, the Black Panthers and the Black Power movement understood this as well. They stood in solidarity with our comrades across the globe. In today's hi-tech and globally connected world, we have the edge over our predecessors: instant connectivity. But our enemy has evolved and adapted as well. Another world is possible, but to make that world possible, we need true international solidarity.
I've seen that with the latest brutal assault by the Israeli government on the people of Gaza. People across the globe have stood in solidarity with the people of Palestine, as the people in Palestine has stood in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. We need to maintain that momentum to take on the challenges facing our 21st Century world today. Solidarity Forever!

The universe and spiritual worlds are beyond our human mortal comprehension. We know only in part; we cannot explain & understand everything. Modern stories from children who had previous lives on earth reveal that beings may be "reincarnated" as a new soul on earth. More than 280,000 people are born every day! That is 2 million people a week! God is creating EVERY PERSON, EVERY SOUL on earth! Amen! Glory to God forever!

Building Resilient Communities: Federal, State, and Local Officials Convene to Discuss Resilient Housing
By IBTS -
IBTS and NGA will host a roundtable event in Washington D.C. to develop recommendations on housing resilience before and after a natural disaster.
WASHINGTON – (RealEstateRama) — The Institute for Building Technology and Safety (IBTS), in partnership with the National Governors Association (NGA), will host a roundtable event in Washington, D.C. focused on best practices to improve housing resilience before and after a natural disaster.
The Experts Roundtable on Resilient Housing Recovery will take place mid-January in the Hall of States and convenes experts from governors' offices and other state agencies, local government and federal agencies, national associations, and mitigation program implementers and experts. The panel will discuss a range of topics focused on resilience and disaster mitigation. Topics will include how states structure the administration of Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds; the use of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) mitigation funds; policies to improve resilience of the housing stock; and how states can make disaster recovery planning a routine exercise.
"By bringing together public- and private-sector stakeholders, we hope to identify common gaps and vulnerabilities in states' housing resilience plans," said Patrick Howell, Community Resilience Program Manager at IBTS. "This roundtable event will help develop recommendations that all stakeholders can implement before and after a natural disaster."
IBTS, a nonprofit organization, boasts more than 40 years of research, assessments, and program planning and implementation for disaster mitigation and recovery efforts. The organization bases resilience action on forward-looking, science-based local disaster preparation efforts that address recovery, resilience, and revitalization needs. Together with the NGA, IBTS looks to bring resilience and mitigation topics to the forefront of state and local governments' planning processes.
The recommendations that are developed during this closed, roundtable event will inform the preparation of a whitepaper, which will be distributed to governors and their policy advisors in the spring of 2019.
For more information on the Experts Roundtable on Resilient Housing Recovery, or if you are interested in participating, please contact Patrick Howell at .

Before DreamWorks Voltron Legendary Defender debuted, there was the original 1984 series, Voltron: Defender of the Universe. Now, 12 of these classic episodes have been handpicked and introduced by the creative powers behind DreamWorks Voltron Legendary Defender, who share the iconic moments that entertained them as kids and inspired them as adults as they formed an all-new Voltron for audiences today.
