Mark Twain, the highest-paid writer in America in 1894, was also one of the nation&#39;s worst investors. &quot;There are two times in a man&#39;s life when he should not speculate,&quot; he wrote. &quot;When he can&#39;t afford it and when he can.&quot; The publishing company Twain owned was failing; his investment in a typesetting device was bleeding red ink. After losing hundreds of thousands of dollars back when a beer cost a nickel, he found himself neck-deep in debt. His heiress wife, Livy, took the setback hard. &quot;I have a perfect horror and heart-sickness over it,&quot; she wrote. &quot;I cannot get away from the feeling that business failure means disgrace.&quot; But Twain vowed to Livy he would pay back every penny. And so, just when the 59-year-old, bushy-browed icon imagined that he would be settling into literary lionhood, telling jokes at gilded dinners, he forced himself to mount the &quot;platform&quot; again, embarking on a round-the-world stand-up comedy tour. No author had ever done that. He cherry-picked his best stories - such as stealing his first watermelon and buying a bucking bronco - and spun them into a 90-minute performance. Twain trekked across the American West and onward by ship to the faraway lands of Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, India, Ceylon, and South Africa. He rode an elephant twice and visited the Taj Mahal. He saw Zulus dancing and helped sort diamonds at the Kimberley mines. (He failed to slip away with a sparkly souvenir.) He played shuffleboard on cruise ships and battled captains for the right to smoke in peace. He complained that his wife and daughter made him shave and change his shirt every day. The great American writer fought off numerous illnesses and travel nuisances to circle the globe and earn a huge payday and a tidal wave of applause. Word of his success, however, traveled slowly enough that one American newspaper reported that he had died penniless in London. That&#39;s when he famously quipped, &quot;The report of my death was an exaggeration.&quot; Throughout his quest, Twain was aided by cutthroat Standard Oil tycoon H. H. Rogers, with whom he had struck a deep friendship, and he was hindered by his own lawyer (and future secretary of state) Bainbridge Colby, whom he deemed &quot;head idiot of this century&quot;. In Chasing the Last Laugh, author Richard Zacks, drawing extensively on unpublished material in notebooks and letters from Berkeley&#39;s ongoing Mark Twain Project, chronicles a poignant chapter in the author&#39;s life - one that began in foolishness and bad choices but culminated in humor, hard-won wisdom, and ultimate triumph....more

Richard Zacks (Author), George Guidall (Narrator), Random House Audio (Publisher) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DO8C9LM/ref=dbsadefrwthschvapitaftp1i0 From Richard Zacks, best-selling author of Island of Vice andThe Pirate Hunter, a rich and lively account of how Mark Twain&#39;s late-life adventures abroad helped him recover from financial disaster and family tragedy - and revived his world-class sense of humor. Mark Twain, the highest-paid writer in America in 1894, was also one of the nation&#39;s worst investors. &quot;There are two times in a man&#39;s life when he should not speculate,&quot; he wrote. &quot;When he can&#39;t afford it and when he can.&quot; The publishing company Twain owned was failing; his investment in a typesetting device was bleeding red ink. After losing hundreds of thousands of dollars back when a beer cost a nickel, he found himself neck-deep in debt. His heiress wife, Livy, took the setback hard. &quot;I have a perfect horror and heart-sickness over it,&quot; she wrote. &quot;I cannot get away from the feeling that business failure means disgrace.&quot; But Twain vowed to Livy he would pay back every penny. And so, just when the 59-year-old, bushy-browed icon imagined that he would be settling into literary lionhood, telling jokes at gilded dinners, he forced himself to mount the &quot;platform&quot; again, embarking on a round-the-world stand-up comedy tour. No author had ever done that. He cherry-picked his best stories - such as stealing his first watermelon and buying a bucking bronco - and spun them into a 90-minute performance. Twain trekked across the American West and onward by ship to the faraway lands of Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, India, Ceylon, and South Africa. He rode an elephant twice and visited the Taj Mahal. He saw Zulus dancing and helped sort diamonds at the Kimberley mines. (He failed to slip away with a sparkly souvenir.) He played shuffleboard on cruise ships and battled captains for the right to smoke in peace. He complained that his wife and daughter made him shave and change his shirt every day. The great American writer fought off numerous illnesses and travel nuisances to circle the globe and earn a huge payday and a tidal wave of applause. Word of his success, however, traveled slowly enough that one American newspaper reported that he had died penniless in London. That&#39;s when he famously quipped, &quot;The report of my death was an exaggeration.&quot; Throughout his quest, Twain was aided by cutthroat Standard Oil tycoon H. H. Rogers, with whom he had struck a deep friendship, and he was hindered by his own lawyer (and future secretary of state) Bainbridge Colby, whom he deemed &quot;head idiot of this century&quot;. In Chasing the Last Laugh, author Richard Zacks, drawing extensively on unpublished material in notebooks and letters from Berkeley&#39;s ongoing Mark Twain Project, chronicles a poignant chapter in the author&#39;s life - one that began in foolishness and bad choices but culminated in humor, hard-won wisdom, and ultimate triumph....more

Talk about feather beds! The inside of thathole was just packed with chicken feathers.That sparrow must have been a week or twopicking them up, one by one, about the coun-try, for the man does not keep chickens. It was certainly too bad to be driven out ofdoors in such weather, for it was very cold,and the sun was well along in the western sky.How would you like it to be turned out ofbed and house on a cold winters afternoonto hunt any old place you could find? Well, just about that time the cardinalcame along. I do not know whether he un-derstood how the sparrow had been misusedor not; but, anyway, he made some remarksthat the man thought were certainly meantfor him.

In Dangerous Ambition, Susan Hertog chronicles the separate but intertwined journeys of these two remarkable women writers, who achieved unprecedented fame and influence at tremendous personal cost. American Dorothy Thompson was the first female head of a European news bureau, a columnist and commentator with a tremendous following whom Time magazine once ranked alongside Eleanor Roosevelt as the most influential woman in America. Rebecca West, an Englishwoman at home wherever genius was spoken, blazed a trail for herself as a journalist, literary critic, novelist, and historian. In a prefeminist era when speaking truth to power could get anyone—of either gender—ostracized, blacklisted, or worse, these two smart, self-made women were among the first to warn the world about the dangers posed by fascism, communism, and appeasement. But there was a price to be paid, Hertog shows, for any woman aspiring to such greatness. As much as they sought voice and power in the public forum of opinion and ideas, and the independence of mind and money that came with them, Thompson and West craved the comforts of marriage and home. Torn between convention and the opportunities of the new postwar global world, they were drawn to men who were as ambitious and hungry for love as themselves: Thompson to the brilliant, volatile, and alcoholic Nobel Prize winner Sinclair Lewis; West to her longtime lover H. G. Wells, the lusty literary eminence whose sexual and emotional demands doomed any chance they may have had at love. Tragically, both arrangements produced troubled sons, whose anger and jealousy at their mothers’ iconic fame eroded their sense of personal success. Brimming with fresh insights obtained from previously sealed archives, this penetrating dual biography is a story of twinned lives caught up in the crosscurrents of world events and affairs of the heart—and of the unique trans-Atlantic friendship forged by two of the most creative and complex women of their time....more

  Photo: Exterior view of the California State Capitol building in Sacramento, ca.1900-1920 Photograph of the exterior view of the California State Capitol building in Sacramento, ca.1900-1920. The Italian Renaissance Revival state capitol building is approximately six-stories tall. After climbing a flight of concrete stairs, visitors are greeted by an eight-column portico entrance. Above the portico is a wide pediment adorned with moldings and sculptures. A very prominent feature is the dome and cupola. The building has a east and west wing. A variety of trees decorate the yard surrounding the building. A sign planted in the ground in the foreground reads: &quot;No thoroughfare, keep off the path, this means you&quot;.; &quot;Construction began in 1860--just 12 years after the discovery of gold at Sutter&#39;s Mill--on a four square block site which had been occupied by several private homes. The property was purchased with tax money raised by the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors. Over the next four years, architect Reuben Clark managed to get the walls up nine feet above the foundation. Floods in 1861 and 1862 slowed construction, forcing construction crews to haul wheelbarrows of dirt to raise the structure 15 feet. Funding for the project was piecemeal, but Clark signed a statement May 18, 1862 stating it could be built to his specifications for $500,000. Funds were provided by a legislature which met only two months every two years--so building progressed until funds ran out, then stopped until the next legislative session. That undoubtedly added to the frustration which drove Clark into a Stockton mental institution where he died in 1866. According to records uncovered in the hospital&#39;s files, the cause of insanity was diagnosed as &#39;continued and close attention to the building of the State Capitol in Sacramento&#39;. Gordon P. Cummings took over as supervising architect, and was in charge of the project until he finished the job in 1874. Total cost of the project was $2.5 million. The first major alteration took place from 1906 through 1908. A fourth floor was added to the remainder of the building by gutting the chambers, taking the roof off the building, installing new steel trusses, and redesigning the senate and assembly chambers. The building remained much that way until the Depression years of the 1930&#39;s, when people began making more demands on government. Then, a mezzanine floor was added. World War II, with its population boom, brought about the most major alteration of the Capitol: the addition of the East Wing, around 1952.&quot; -- unknown author.

We must begin where we have abase of supplies, and that brings us at once either tothe Karun or the Gulf.

But for the present we must look elsewhere, andBunder Abbas and Mohammerah are the onlystarting-points that suggest themselves. Of thesetwo the first to be chosen is Mohammerah, owingto the attractiveness of the Burujird-Teheran route,with branches to Kermanshah and Hamadan on the Text Appearing After Image: RUSSIAN POLICY 369 west side, and to Isfahan and Shiraz on the east.It would be perfectly safe to start this line with acapital of ,£5,000,000, but the ,£5,000,000 could notbe raised without the guarantee of our Government.Will or can our Government act in the matter?There is the crux. A low guarantee of 2\ per cent,for ten years would, I believe, be quite sufficient toattract the capital, and it must be remembered thatthe whole capital would not be expended until thegreater part of the time was expired, so that at thevery worst the Government would not have to findmore than ,£100,000 a year. Russia is spendingthat amount, and more, on pushing her trade, withthis difference, thatshe is spending it on premiumswhich only prop up the fabric of commerce in atemporary manner.

China had barely escaped a war with Japanover one of her feudatory states, when she wasplunged into a war with France over another.For fully a century France had looked uponAnnam as within her sphere of influence, andFrench missionaries had been working among theAnnamese with indifferent success. In 1858France seized Saigon, and made it her base forcommercial operations in Cochin China. It wasnot long before complications arose between theinvaders and the suzerain states, and in 1882 theFrench decided definitely to annex Tongkin.The capital town of Hanoi was captured, andthe important towns of Sontay and Bacinh in-vested.

  Photo: Canons saisis, Kaboul English: Captured Guns, Kabul 中文: 在喀布尔缴获的火炮 Português: Artilharia capturada, Cabul العربية: مدافع اُستُوليَ عليها، كابول Español: Armas secuestradas, Kabul Description  Русский: Эта фотография афганских артиллерийских орудий, захваченных во время британской оккупации Кабула в октябре-декабре 1879 года, входит в альбом редких исторических фотоснимков, на которых изображены люди и места, связанные со Второй англо-афганской войной. В период завоевания и оккупации Кабула на втором этапе войны Кабульская полевая армия под командованием сэра Фредерика Робертса (1832–1914 гг.) располагала по меньшей мере двадцатью полевыми орудиями (как правило, это были передвижные пушки на конной тяге). Поводом для наступления на Кабул стало убийство в сентябре 1879 года сэра Пьера Луи Наполеона Каваньяри (1841–1879 гг.), британского дипломатического представителя в Кабуле, подписавшего в мае того же года Гандамакский договор с эмиром Мухаммедом Якуб-ханом (1849–1923 гг.). На снимке Робертс со своими подчиненными верхом на лошадях осматривают захваченные афганские орудия в Шерпурском военном лагере в полутора километрах к северу от Кабула. Обычно британские артиллерийские орудия по своим характеристикам превосходили афганское вооружение, однако в ряде случаев оказывались неэффективными, как в битве при Майванде в июле 1880 года. Вторая англо-афганская война началась в ноябре 1878 года, когда Великобритания, опасаясь, как ей казалось, растущего влияния России в Афганистане, вторглась в эту страну с территории Британской Индии. Первый этап войны закончился в мае 1879 года подписанием Гандамакского договора, позволившего афганцам сохранить внутренний суверенитет, однако заставившего их уступить контроль над внешней политикой своей страны британцам. Военные действия возобновились в сентябре 1879 года, после антибританского восстания в Кабуле, и окончательно завершились в сентябре 1880 года решающей битвой за Кандагар. Данный альбом включает портреты британских и афганских лидеров и военнослужащих, фотографии простых афганских людей, изображения британских военных лагерей, военных действий, строений, пейзажей, крупных и небольших городов. Все изображенные на фотоснимках места находятся на территории современных Афганистана или Пакистана (в то время бывших частью Британской Индии). Около трети представленных в альбоме фотографий выполнены Джоном Берком (около 1843–1900 гг.), другая треть — сэром Бенджамином Симпсоном (1831–1923 гг.), а оставшаяся часть — несколькими другими фотографами. Авторы некоторых фотоснимков неизвестны. Возможно, что составителем альбома был один из членов британского правительства в Индии, однако это предположение не подтверждено. Каким образом альбом попал в Библиотеку Конгресса, неизвестно.  Афганские войны; Пушки; Великобритания.

Listeners will share Rochefort&#39;s frustrations as he searches in vain for Yamamoto&#39;s fleet prior to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and share his joy when he succeeds in tracking the fleet in early 1942 and breaks the code that leads him to believe Yamamoto&#39;s invasion target is Midway. His conclusions, bitterly opposed by some top navy brass, are credited with making the U.S. victory possible and helping change the course of the war. The author tells the story of how opponents in Washington forced Rochefort&#39;s removal from the decrypt unit at Pearl and denied him the Distinguished Service Medal recommended by Admiral Nimitz. In capturing the interplay of policy and personality and the role played by politics at the highest levels of the Navy, Carlson reveals a side of the intelligence community seldom seen by outsiders. For a full understanding of the man, Carlson examines Rochefort&#39;s love-hate relationship with cryptanalysis, his adventure-filled years in the 1930s as the right-hand man to the Commander in Chief of the U.S. Fleet, and his return to code-breaking in mid-1941 as the officer in charge of Station Hypo at Pearl Harbor. He traces Rochefort&#39;s career from his enlistment in 1918 to his posting in Washington as head of the Navy&#39;s code-breaking desk at age 25, and beyond. In many ways a reinterpretation of Rochefort, the book makes clear the key role his codebreaking played in the outcome of Midway and the legacy he left of reporting actionable intelligence directly to the fleet. An epilogue describes efforts waged by Rochefort&#39;s colleagues to obtain the medal denied him in 1942, a drive that finally paid off in 1986, when the medal was awarded posthumously....more

Listeners will share Rochefort&#39;s frustrations as he searches in vain for Yamamoto&#39;s fleet prior to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and share his joy when he succeeds in tracking the fleet in early 1942 and breaks the code that leads him to believe Yamamoto&#39;s invasion target is Midway. His conclusions, bitterly opposed by some top navy brass, are credited with making the U.S. victory possible and helping change the course of the war.

In capturing the interplay of policy and personality and the role played by politics at the highest levels of the Navy, Carlson reveals a side of the intelligence community seldom seen by outsiders. For a full understanding of the man, Carlson examines Rochefort&#39;s love-hate relationship with cryptanalysis, his adventure-filled years in the 1930s as the right-hand man to the Commander in Chief of the U.S. Fleet, and his return to code-breaking in mid-1941 as the officer in charge of Station Hypo at Pearl Harbor. He traces Rochefort&#39;s career from his enlistment in 1918 to his posting in Washington as head of the Navy&#39;s code-breaking desk at age 25, and beyond. In many ways a reinterpretation of Rochefort, the book makes clear the key role his codebreaking played in the outcome of Midway and the legacy he left of reporting actionable intelligence directly to the fleet. An epilogue describes efforts waged by Rochefort&#39;s colleagues to obtain the medal denied him in 1942, a drive that finally paid off in 1986, when the medal was awarded posthumously....more

In Guantánamo: An American History, Jonathan M. Hansen presents the first complete account of this fascinating place. The U.S. presence at Guantánamo predates even the nation itself, as the bay figured centrally in the imperial expansion plans of colonist and British sailor Lawrence Washington―half brother of the future president George.

In many ways, Guantánamo remains more quintessentially American than America itself: a distillation of the idealism and arrogance that has characterized U.S. national identity and foreign policy from the very beginning. Despite the Obama administration&#39;s repeated efforts to shutter the notorious prison, the naval base is in no danger of closing anytime soon.

In addition to this, the coconut meal, i. €., the residue after the oil has been expressed from the kernels of the nuts, is a valuable by- product and is used in Baracoa for the fattening of hogs. Another export of Baracoa consists of wax gathered from the wild bees that have built hives in the uncleared parts of the country. The.se hives are located by professional wax hunters, who scale seemingly impossible rocks to secure their prize. Not infrequently the bees build their storehouses in the entrances of the limestone caves with which the countryside abounds, and in consequence visiting archeologists to this region may do well to remember that wax hunters will often be able to tell of caves which are unknown to the other in- habitants. In many of these caves one is likely to find aboriginal remains and artifacts of great archeological value. The first village of importance to the eastward of Baracoa is )Mata. This is a calling station for the banana steamers coming to Baracoa, and from here large quantities of this fruit, gath- ered from the surrounding country, are exported. Mata itself is but a small village of per- haps 30 houses; its harbor is too shallow to allow steamers to anchor and in consequence the bananas are carried off in lighters to the collecting steamer which lies some distance offshore. From Mata to the mouth of the Yumuri River the road follows the beach more or less, whereas the road from Baracoa to Mata allows no view of the sea. While in places progress is somewhat impeded by the heavy sand, the road from Mata to the Yumuri ferry makes up in beauty what it lacks in convenience. The Yumuri River—and it should be noted that Cuba boasts of two Yumuri rivers, the other one being found near Matanzas in the center of the island—has a width of about 200 yards at the mouth with, in all seasons excepting the rainy season, a depth of not over 3 feet. This lack of depth is due to sand banks which form in the mouth of the river, thanks to the heavy swell which deposits large quantities of coraline sand.

For the first time the story of the Navy and Marine Corps in the 1941--42 Philippine campaign is told in a single volume. Drawing on a rich collection of both U.S. and recently discovered Japanese sources as well as official records and wartime diaries, Gordon chronicles the Americans&#39; desperate defense of the besieged islands. Gordon offers updated information about the campaign during which the Navy and Marines, fighting in what was largely an Army operation, performed some of their most unusual missions of the entire Pacific War. He also explains why the Navy&#39;s relationship with Gen. Douglas MacArthur became strained during this campaign, and remained so for the rest of the war. As a result of Gordon&#39;s extensive primary source research, Fighting for MacArthur presents the most complete account of the dramatic efforts by elements of the Navy and Marine Corps to support the U.S. Army&#39;s ill-fated defense of the Philippines....more

For the first time the story of the Navy and Marine Corps in the 1941--42 Philippine campaign is told in a single volume. Drawing on a rich collection of both U.S. and recently discovered Japanese sources as well as official records and wartime diaries, Gordon chronicles the Americans&#39; desperate defense of the besieged islands. Gordon offers updated information about the campaign during which the Navy and Marines, fighting in what was largely an Army operation, performed some of their most unusual missions of the entire Pacific War. He also explains why the Navy&#39;s relationship with Gen. Douglas MacArthur became strained during this campaign, and remained so for the rest of the war. As a result of Gordon&#39;s extensive primary source research, Fighting for MacArthur presents the most complete account of the dramatic efforts by elements of the Navy and Marine Corps to support the U.S. Army&#39;s ill-fated defense of the Philippines....more

• Taking the temperature of the Martian moon Phobos. Bob Zimmerman BehindtheBlack.com

  Listen

  May 12 2019

  Photo: Color image of Phobos, imaged by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on 23 March 2008. The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter took two images of the larger of Mars' two moons, Phobos, within 10 minutes of each other on 23 March 2008. This is the first, taken from a distance of about 6,800 kilometers (about 4,200 miles). It is presented in color by combining data from the camera's blue-green, red, and near-infrared channels. The illuminated part of Phobos seen in the images is about 21 kilometers (13 miles) across. The most prominent feature in the images is the large crater Stickney in the lower right. With a diameter of 9 kilometers (5.6 miles), it is the largest feature on Phobos. The color data accentuate details not apparent in black-and-white images. For example, materials near the rim of Stickney appear bluer than the rest of Phobos. Based on analogy with materials on our own moon, this could mean this surface is fresher, and therefore younger, than other parts of Phobos. A series of troughs and crater chains is obvious on other parts of the moon. Although many appear radial to Stickney in this image, recent studies from the European Space Agency&#39;s Mars Express orbiter indicate that they are not related to Stickney. Instead, they may have formed when material ejected from impacts on Mars later collided with Phobos. The lineated textures on the walls of Stickney and other large craters are landslides formed from materials falling into the crater interiors in the weak Phobos gravity (less than one one-thousandth of the gravity on Earth). In the full-resolution version of this image, a pixel encompasses 6.8 meters (22 feet), providing a resolution (smallest visible feature) of about 20 meters (about 65 feet). The image is in the HiRISE catalog as PSP0077699010. NASA&#39;s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter for NASA&#39;s Science Mission Directorate, Washington. Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver, is the prime contractor for the project and built the spacecraft.

CHAPTER IV BANIAS AND THE UPPER JORDAN C^SAREA PHILIPPI GEOGRAPHICALLY and geologically theJordan River and its valley are the stran-gest feature of our planet, and they havelinked themselves most wonderfully with the his-tory of our race. We had planned to strike thehead-waters of the river and follow its coursethrough Galilee to its end, crossing the streamat as many points as we possibly could, and notingall the peculiarities of its winding existence. We were led to modify this plan somewhat for anumber of good reasons. It was February, andwhile the mud was not specially heavy anywhere,the chance of being caught in a winter storm, be-tween Beisan and Jericho, was not to be lightlytaken with our heavy baggage train. We alsofound the water in the river higher than is usual atthis season, so that fords crossed easily in Octoberwere now impassable. The river still fulfils its ancient function as the Great Divider. This could all be changed by a 86 Text Appearing After Image: Banias and the Upper Jordan 89 few bridges, but until these are buik the dwellerson either side will remain strangers, or enemies,to each other. It may be a surprise to many tolearn that in its course of orre hundred miles thereare only three bridges ; one between Merom andthe Sea of Galilee; a second two hours below thesea, and the third at Jericho. There are perhaps adozen fording places, which are passable at certainseasons of the year, but these are known only tothe dwellers in the immediate neighborhood of eachford. Many ancient bridges have been washedaway by the yearly floods or the rarer waterspouts.The ruins of some five or six such structures can befound just below the Sea of Galilee. Coming as we did from the seacoast, over Leba-non, and across the Merj Aiyun, we struck first theNahr Bareighit or Flea River, the smallest of thefour sources of the Jordan.

  May 09 2019

  Photo: English: John Thomson: THIS picture, No. 48, presents to the reader one of the most interesting buildings in the grounds of the Imperial Summer Palace, standing at the foot of Wan-show-shan upon a basis of white marble, and constructed — doors, windows, pillars, roofs, and all — entirely of solid bronze. It is a very perfect example of Chinese temple architecture, showing, as it does, the most minute details of construction, and the skill with which the Chinese can work in metals, and adapt them to almost every use. The picture is taken with the instrument facing the sun, or against the light, in order thus to obtain for the temple a bold and clear outline, and at the same time to give a soft, and unobtrusive pencilling to the objects of the distant landscape, and by this means heighten the pictorial effect. During our visit to these Imperial pleasure grounds we put up at the monastery of the Sleeping Buddha, and I was so fortunate as to have for my companion one of the foreign residents, a gentleman well known in Peking, and a native member of the Chinese Civil Service, who was studying the photographic art. The imposing buildings of the monastery, the well-paved courtyards shaded with fine old trees, and adorned with an array of flowering plants in ornamental pots on porcelain stands, the rows of clean cloisters, the kindly disposed abbot and monks, these all contributed to make our visit agreeable as well as interesting. One of the priests told us that the establishment had not been very well supported for some years past. Indeed, the profitable occupation of this body of poor and devout-looking Buddhists all but departed when the Summer Palace was destroyed. They have lands, but not sufficient to support them. They also enjoy a small grant from the Imperial treasury, and they are occasionally called out to attend the marriage or burial ceremonies of members of the Imperial clan. But more marriages, and more funerals, and the more frequent visits of devotees to the shrine of the Sleeping Buddha were much needed to swell the revenues of the establishment. Theirs is a beautiful retreat, nestling in quiet seclusion beneath the brow of a richly wooded hill; and when I gazed upon it I felt as if I should have liked to try a few months of this perfectly retired life— an uneventful, dreamy existence, nourished on the fruits and vegetables of the earth, and almost an incarnation of the vegetable kingdom itself. The surrounding hills were crowned with buildings of porcelain and marble; one of them, not far from the monastery, and buried in the recesses of a wood which covered the summit of a hill, must have been a princely edifice not many years ago. We reached its ruins along a path cut through a group of rocks wrapped in ivy and fern, and came at last upon a marble basin in one of the inner courts. This was still filled with clear cool water, and teemed with fish. Here, perhaps, the ladies of the establishment beguiled the hours in their dreary days of solitude. The adjoining apartments had once been lofty and imposing, but little of their former magnificence was now to be seen. Ivy had cast a mande of green over the charred and battered walls, creeping in and out of the broken balustrades and wreathing many a marble ornament with its tender leaves. 中文（繁體）‎: 頤和園寶雲閣銅殿，北京。約翰·湯姆森在1871─1872年拍攝。座落於萬壽山腳下，屋頂、柱子和門窗全以銅建成。展現中國寺廟建築最為典型的一例，鏡頭對準陽光正面又逆光，整體輪廓清晰，具自然的拍攝效果[1]。 中文（中国大陆）‎: 颐和园宝云阁铜殿，北京。约翰·汤姆森在1871─1872年拍摄。座落于万寿山脚下，屋顶、柱子和门窗全以铜建成。展现中国寺庙建筑最为典型的一例，镜头对准阳光正面又逆光，整体轮廓清晰，具自然的拍摄效果[1]。 Date between 1871 and 1872 Source Beinecke Rare Book &amp; Manuscript Library Author  John Thomson (1837–1921) Blue pencil.svg wikidata:Q736862 s:en:Author:John Thomson (1837-1921) http://JohnBatchelorShow.com/contact http://JohnBatchelorShow.com/schedules Twitter: @BatchelorShow Red China reads a Trump tweet to signal the US economy is fragile &amp; What is to be done? @VerodeRugy @Marcatus @GordonGChang @TheDailyBeast  https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-china-decided-to-play-hardball-in-trade-talks-11557358715?mod=breakingnews...more

  May 08 2019

  Photo: English: John Thomson: HONG-KONG is one of a group of islands situated a little north of the mouth of the Canton or Pearl river. It is about ten miles long, by four and a-half in breadth, and of igneous formation. From east to west, along its entire length, there runs a central rocky ridge or spine, chiefly composed of granite, and broken up into a series of jagged peaks, whose greatest elevation is 1,900 feet. Viewed from a distance, Hong-Kong may be readily distinguished from the islands which surround it by the bold outlines, and superior altitude, of its hills. The contrast in many cases being as striking as that between the islands of Arran and Bute. The granite in some parts of the island is in a state of disintegration ; but great masses of the solid stone are to be found, and have proved of service in the construction of the forts, the docks, and the city of Victoria. The latter is to the north of the island, on the slope of the hill named Victoria Peak, and faces that portion of the mainland which is known as British Kowloon. The Kowloon coast here, and the northern shore of Hong-Kong, combine to form one of the finest harbours in the world, having a space of over six miles in length by two in breadth, available for the safe anchorage of the largest ships. The view which fronts this page is taken from the residence of Messrs. Jardine, Matheson and Co. at East Point. In the immediate foreground is shown the entrance to Wong-nei-chong or Happy Valley, noted for its picturesque hill scenery, its race-course, and its cemetery for Europeans. The eminence to the left is Morrison&#39;s Hill, crowned with a row of substantially built foreign residences, and commanding an extensive and imposing view of the city and ports. Victoria, with its long line of wharves and warehouses, its public buildings, and its private residences in elegant rows, is seen resting on the slope of the lull; while characteristic masses of fleecy cloud are wrapped around the peak above. The masts of the shipping, which rise like a forest about the Victoria promontory, may give the reader some conception of the magnitude of our trade at Hong-Kong. By the treaty of Nankin, in 1842, the island was ceded to the British, and was erected into a colony on the 5th of April, 1843. Previous to the above dates Hong-Kong was as barren and uninteresting as the islands around it at the present day, where one can find nothing more than a few fishing hamlets, enjoying, however, a degree of prosperity unknown before the advent of the British flag. There is only one ancient privilege the loss of which these villagers, it may be, deplore. Those among them who wore the peaceful garb of fishermen used to vary their pursuits, a little more than twenty-five years ago, by engaging in piracy when opportunities occurred. So confirmed is their relish for buccaneering, that, in spite of the heavy penalties now imposed upon the crime, it has not yet been completely rooted out ; and, although much rarer, we still hear of piratical outrages in or near the very harbour of Hong-Kong. Such notices as the following, not unfrequent during the early history of the colony, are happily seldom met with in the present day : — &quot; In March, 1846, a large body of pirates, some eighty in number, plundered the village of Shek-pai-wan,&quot; now known to foreigners as Aberdeen, and boasting an extensive dock. &quot; On the 25th of April, 1854, a severe encounter took place between the police and a gang of hill robbers at Shek-pai-wan, in which several of the robbers were shot.&quot;&quot;Twenty-two piracies are noted in Hong-Kong waters between the 1st November, 1856, and 15th January, 1857.“ Date  Source Beinecke Rare Book &amp; Manuscript Library Author  John Thomson (1837–1921) Blue pencil.svg wikidata:Q736862 s:en:Author:John Thomson (1837-1921) http://JohnBatchelorShow.com/contact http://JohnBatchelorShow.com/schedules Twitter: @BatchelorShow Joe Biden says Red China is not a threat &amp; other foreign policy surprises. @JedBabbin American Spectator. https://spectator.org/good-old-joe-is-a-peking-duck/...more

  Photo: Photograph of Sher Ali (1825-1879) Amir of Afghanistan, 1863–79, the son of Dost Muhammad, taken in 1869 by John Burke, from the album 'The Afghan War, Attock to Jellalabad, Gandamak and Surkhab.' John Burke accompanied the Peshawar Valley Field Force, one of three British Anglo-Indian army columns deployed in the Second Afghan War (1878-80), despite being rejected for the role of official photographer. He financed his trip by advance sales of his photographs 'illustrating the advance from Attock to Jellalabad&#39;. Coming to India as apothecary with the Royal Engineers, Burke turned professional photographer, assisting William Baker. Travelling widely in India, they were the main rivals to the better-known Bourne and Shepherd. Burke&#39;s two-year Afghan expedition produced an important visual document of the region where strategies of the Great Game were played out. The Anglo-Russian rivalry (called the Great Game) precipitated the Second Anglo-Afghan War. Afghanistan was of strategic importance to the British in the defence of their Indian Empire, and the prevention of the spreading influence of Russia. They favoured a Forward Policy of extending India&#39;s frontiers to the Hindu Kush and gaining control over Afghanistan. In 1878 Sher Ali, who for the majority of his reign kept good terms with the British, was devastated by the death of his favourite son and his court was in disarray. The British were trying to establish a permanent mission at Kabul which Sher Ali, trying to keep a balance between the Russians and British, would not permit. The arrival of a Russian diplomatic mission in Kabul increased British suspicions of Russian influence and ultimately led to the Second Afghan War. The British undertook a three-pronged drive into Afghanistan, held the Khyber Pass and defeated the Amir&#39;s forces. Appointing his son Yakub Khan as regent, Sher Ali fled from his capital to take refuge in Russian Turkestan but died at Mazhar-e-Sharif on 21 February 1879. Yakub had to agree to the Treaty of Gandamak, whereby Afghanistan ceded to the British control of its foreign affairs, and the Khyber and Michni Passes, and allowed British representatives in Kabul and other locations. This photograph of the Amir actually dates from 1869 from the Ambala Durbar when he first entered into negotiations with the British. Burke reused it as part of the introduction to his Afghan War catalogue. التاريخ ١٨٦٩ المصدر The British Library - Online Gallery المؤلف John Burke (1843-1900) الترخيص (إعادة استخدام هذا الملف)  Public domain  This work is in the public domain i http://JohnBatchelorShow.com/contact http://JohnBatchelorShow.com/schedules Twitter: @BatchelorShow US ceases reporting on the advance of the Taliban &amp; What is to be done? @ThomasJoscelyn @BillRoggio @FDD...more

Among the ancient peoplesof the East there were many versions of miraculous deeds performedby such wonderful beings as Hercules, or Herakles. The researchesof modern scholars, however, have showd these tales to be nothingmore or less than Sun-myths. The Phoenicians regarded the op- 98 posite promontories at the Straits of Gibraltar as the Western limitsof the land—all beyond was a vast, unknown extent of water, ap-parently world without end, When Herakles (the Sum had runhis brilliant course through the heavens, and slowly retired at theclose of day into the dark unfathomed caves, the glorious pictureas seen between these two noble promontories might well suggestthe designation:—The Pillars of Hercules.

One of the characteristics of industrial-age enterprises is that they are organized around functional departments. This organizational structure results in both limited information and restricted thinking. The Silo Effect asks these basic questions: Why do humans working in modern institutions collectively act in ways that sometimes seem stupid? Why do normally clever people fail to see risks and opportunities that later seem blindingly obvious? Why, as psychologist Daniel Kahneman put it, are we sometimes so &quot;blind to our own blindness&quot;? Gillian Tett, journalist and senior editor for the Financial Times, answers these questions by plumbing her background as an anthropologist and her experience reporting on the financial crisis in 2008. In The Silo Effect, she shares eight different tales of the silo syndrome, spanning Bloomberg&#39;s City Hall in New York, the Bank of England in London, Cleveland Clinic hospital in Ohio, UBS bank in Switzerland, Facebook in San Francisco, Sony in Tokyo, the BlueMountain hedge fund, and the Chicago police. Some of these narratives illustrate how foolishly people can behave when they are mastered by silos. Others, however, show how institutions and individuals can master their silos instead. These are stories of failure and success. From ideas about how to organize office spaces and lead teams of people with disparate expertise, Tett lays bare the silo effect and explains how people organize themselves, interact with each other, and imagine the world can take hold of an organization and lead from institutional blindness to 20/20 vision....more

THE insurance of your buildings, merchandise, &amp;c., against loss or damage by fire has probably longsince been considered by you as a business necessity, and you would not feel safe for a moment if youdid not know that you were well insured in this respect. It is not urged l)y you as a reason for not insur-ing that neither you nor your neighbors have ever suffered loss, but you pay large sums of money, yearafter year, for protection against a possibility. There are possibilities of Loss or Damage in your business by other means than by fire, and it is pru-dent to insure yourself against all such possibilities. The changing or raising of your Cheques, Drafts, Certificates or other important papers, is a possi-bility that may happen to your great disadvantage at any time, for it is constantly happening to others.Ban Note About Images Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work. http://JohnBatchelorShow.com/contact http://JohnBatchelorShow.com/schedules Twitter: @BatchelorShow The Silo Effect: 2 of 4: The Peril of Expertise and the Promise of Breaking Down Barriers Audible Audiobook – Unabridged.

Text Appearing Before Image: vince on the Caspian. In the Province of Azarbayjan the trees and fruits there,grapes, melons, peaches, pears, plums, etc., are not to be sur-passed. The central part of Persia is a large salt desert. The mountains are generally treeless and rocky. Theirsnows act as storage reservoirs, and thousands of streams pourdown all summer, furnishing water for the plains, large areasof which, for want of any or proper irrigation arrangements,go to waste. The soil responds promptly to irrigation, and the potentialagricultural wealth of the country is unlimited. From what isknown of the mines of turquoise, gold, copper, and coal, min-eral wealth is also an important item. Up to the present nota railroad has been allowed to enter Persia, lest some strategicadvantage should be obtained or lost by Russia, Great Britain orTurkey. At present, camels, mules and donkeys spend weeks on theroads, transporting Persian goods to the ports of Bushir, Ban-dar-i-Abbas and Mohammerah on the Persian Gulf, and to Text Appearing After Image: INTRODUCTION lix Ahwaz, near the Gulf, on the Karun River (upon which plythe steamers of the Lynch Transportation Company), or toEnzeli and other ports on the Caspian, and Trebizond on theBlack Sea, in Turkey, or out through Kirmanshah to Bagdadand the Tigris River. Little merchandise goes out to the east-ward, as the British Protectorates of Afghanistan and Balu-chistan block that way. Of interior commerce there is no lack,particularly the business of transporting grain and other foodsfrom the fertile or irrigated portions of the country to othersections. Teheran, not being in a grain section, is thus sup-plied from a distance, although its neighborhood when watered,as at Shah-Abdu1-Azim, just to the south of the city, producessplendid wheat. Wood and coal are carried by pack animals. Coal is broughtfrom the mines some thirty miles to Teheran. It is of goodquality and somewhat resembles the bituminous coal of WestVirginia.

Theisland was discovered by Columbus on his second voy-age, in 1494, but is more particularly identified withhis fourth, and last, which extended from 1502 to1504, and was the most disastrous of all. AVe havenoted that Columbus touched at Hispaniola on thisvoyage, where he warned the governor of an ap-proaching hurricane: that his advice was disregarded,BobadUlas fleet being wrecked in the storm: andthat his own little squadron was in great danger onthe south coast of that island. Having been forbid-den to land anywhere on the coast of Hispaniola,Columbus steered for Veragua. where, after re-peated failures to found a settlement, he at lastwas driven by a great storm to the south coast ofCuba, whence, with his vessels in a shattered andsinking condition, he sought the north shore of Ja-maica. This north coast has many good harbors, andinto one of these, which he called Porto Bueno. hesailed with his sinking ships. A little later, with-15 203 Text Appearing After Image: JAMAICA AND THE MAROONS 205 drawing his craft from this harbor, he entered a smallbay and ran them ashore on the sands, where he waskept a prisoner for more than a year by the com-bined forces of the elements and the hostile natives.The bay in which he stranded his vessels is stillknown as Don Christophers Cove, and one day Ivisited and photographed the scene of this the sad-dest episode in the life of Columbus. Running the vessels upon the shore, Columbuspropped them in an upright position, then built athatched roof over the decks, and thus castled inthe sea, as he terms it, he remained in this spot along and weary twelvemonth. At first the Indians,who were allied to those of Haiti but more fierceand warlike, were inclined to pity his misfortunesand supply him with fresh provisions; but at lastthey became rebellious and refused longer to renderassistance.

Christopher Columbus&#39;s 1492 voyage across the Atlantic Ocean in search of a trading route to China, and his unexpected landfall in the Americas, is a watershed event in world history. Yet Columbus made three more voyages within the span of only a decade, each designed to demonstrate that he could sail to China within a matter of weeks and convert those he found there to Christianity. These later voyages were even more adventurous, violent, and ambiguous, but they revealed Columbus&#39;s uncanny sense of the sea, his mingled brilliance and delusion, and his superb navigational skills. In all these exploits he almost never lost a sailor. By their conclusion, however, Columbus was broken in body and spirit. If the first voyage illustrates the rewards of exploration, the latter voyages illustrate the tragic costs - political, moral, and economic. In rich detail Laurence Bergreen re-creates each of these adventures as well as the historical background of Columbus&#39;s celebrated, controversial career.

  Photo:nglish: Looking northeast across the National Mall in Washington, D.C., in the United States circa 1900. The Mall exhibits the winding pathways and random planting of trees created by the 1851 landscape design of Andrew Jackson Downing. The area depicted is approximately between 9th and 6th Streets NW. Center Market is the low building to the left. The Baltimore and Potomac Passenger Railroad Station, marked by the Victorian-style tower, is in the middle-right. The United States Capitol building is not shown, but would be further to the right.

Nevertheless, John Taliaferro&#39;s brilliant biography captures the extraordinary life of Hay, one of the most amazing figures in American history, and restores him to his rightful place. John Hay was both witness and author of many of the most significant chapters in American history - from the birth of the Republican Party, the Civil War, and the Spanish-American War, to the prelude to the First World War. Much of what we know about Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt comes to us through the observations Hay made while private secretary to one and secretary of state to the other. With All the Great Prizes, the first authoritative biography of Hay in 80 years, Taliaferro has turned the lens around, rendering a rich and fascinating portrait of this brilliant American and his many worlds. Hay&#39;s friends are a who&#39;s who of the era: Mark Twain, Horace Greeley, Henry Adams, Henry James, and virtually every president, sovereign, author, artist, power broker, and robber baron of the Gilded Age. As an ambassador and statesman, he guided many of the country&#39;s major diplomatic initiatives at the turn of the 20th century: the Open Door with China, the creation of the Panama Canal, the establishment of America as a world leader. Hay&#39;s peers esteemed him as &quot;a perfectly cut stone&quot; and &quot;the greatest prime minister this republic has ever known&quot;. But for all his poise and polish, he had his secrets.

The ship departed Botwood, Newfoundland, under the command of Captain George McCartney Sime on 19 July 1940 carrying 43 people and 610 tons of rolled news print bound for England. Fifteen days out, the ship was torpedoed by the German U-Boat U-52, captained by Otto Salman, resulting in the deaths of two crewmen and one passenger. The ship was abandoned and soon broke in two, capsizing and sinking not far from the Irish coast. The master and 27 survivors were picked up by a British escort vessel and landed at Methil on 8 August. Six survivors were rescued and landed at Liverpool and 14 others landed at Uig, Isle of Lewis. Among the survivors were four passengers. Captain Sime died less than a year later on another company ship, the Rothmere, which sank on 20 May 1941 between Greenland and Iceland.

Isolated from each other, the two halves of the world developed radically different suites of plants and animals. When Christopher Columbus set foot in the Americas, he ended that separation at a stroke. Driven by the economic goal of establishing trade with China, he accidentally set off an ecological convulsion as European vessels carried thousands of species to new homes across the oceans. The Columbian Exchange, as researchers call it, is the reason there are tomatoes in Italy, oranges in Florida, chocolates in Switzerland, and chili peppers in Thailand. More important, creatures the colonists knew nothing about hitched along for the ride. Earthworms, mosquitoes, and cockroaches; honeybees, dandelions, and African grasses; bacteria, fungi, and viruses; rats of every description - all of them rushed like eager tourists into lands that had never seen their like before, changing lives and landscapes across the planet.  Eight decades after Columbus, a Spaniard named Legazpi succeeded where Columbus had failed. He sailed west to establish continual trade with China, then the richest, most powerful country in the world. In Manila, a city Legazpi founded, silver from the Americas, mined by African and Indian slaves, was sold to Asians in return for silk for Europeans. It was the first time that goods and people from every corner of the globe were connected in a single worldwide exchange. Much as Columbus created a new world biologically, Legazpi and the Spanish empire he served created a new world economically. As Charles C. Mann shows, the Columbian Exchange underlies much of subsequent human history. Presenting the latest research by ecologists, anthropologists, archaeologists, and historians, Mann shows how the creation of this worldwide network of exchange fostered the rise of Europe, devastated imperial China, convulsed Africa, and for two centuries made Mexico City - where Asia, Europe, and the new frontier of the Americas dynamically interacted - the center of the world. In such encounters, he uncovers the germ of today&#39;s fiercest political disputes, from immigration to trade policy to culture wars. In 1493, Charles Mann gives us an eye-opening scientific interpretation of our past, unequaled in its authority and fascination....more

The cruel father set out to go back to his wigwam;but he could never find the village again, and after hehad wandered about a long time he lay down in theforest and died; and soon afterwards the redbreastfound him, and buried him under a heap of dry leaves.Every year after that, when the time of the huntersfast came round, the redbreast perched on his fathersempty wigwam and sang the song of the dead.

In Double Cross, Macintyre returns with the untold story of the grand final deception of the war and of the extraordinary spies who achieved it. On June 6, 1944, 150,000 Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy and suffered an astonishingly low rate of casualties. D-Day was a stunning military accomplishment, but it was also a masterpiece of trickery. Operation Fortitude, which protected and enabled the invasion, and the Double Cross system, which specialized in turning German spies into double agents, deceived the Nazis into believing that the Allies would attack at Calais and Norway rather than Normandy. It was the most sophisticated and successful deception operation ever carried out, ensuring that Hitler kept an entire army awaiting a fake invasion, saving thousands of lives, and securing an Allied victory at the most critical juncture in the war. The story of D-Day has been told from the point of view of the soldiers who fought in it, the tacticians who planned it, and the generals who led it. But this epic event in world history has never before been told from the perspectives of the key individuals in the Double Cross System. These include its director (a brilliant, urbane intelligence officer), a colorful assortment of MI5 handlers (as well as their counterparts in Nazi intelligence), and the five spies who formed Double Cross&#39;s nucleus: a dashing Serbian playboy, a Polish fighter-pilot, a bisexual Peruvian party girl, a deeply eccentric Spaniard with a diploma in chicken farming and a volatile Frenchwoman, whose obsessive love for her pet dog very nearly wrecked the entire plan. The D-Day spies were, without question, one of the oddest military units ever assembled, and their success depended on the delicate, dubious relationship between spy and spymaster, both German and British. Their enterprise was saved from catastrophe by a shadowy sixth spy whose heroic sacrifice is revealed here for the first time. With the same depth of research, eye for the absurd and masterful storytelling that have made Ben Macintyre an international bestseller, Double Cross is a captivating narrative of the spies who wove a web so intricate it ensnared Hitler&#39;s army and carried thousands of D-Day troops across the Channel in safety....more

Although Americans had been shocked by the assassination in 1963 of President Kennedy, they exuded a sense of consensus and optimism that showed no signs of abating. Indeed, political liberalism and interracial civil rights activism made it appear as if 1965 would find America more progressive and unified than it had ever been before. In January 1965, President Lyndon Johnson proclaimed that the country had “no irreconcilable conflicts.” Johnson, who was an extraordinarily skillful manager of Congress, succeeded in securing an avalanche of Great Society legislation in 1965, including Medicare, immigration reform, and a powerful Voting Rights Act. But as esteemed historian James T. Patterson reveals in The Eve of Destruction, that sense of harmony dissipated over the course of the year. As Patterson shows, 1965 marked the birth of the tumultuous era we now know as “The Sixties,” when American society and culture underwent a major transformation. Turmoil erupted in the American South early in the year, when police attacked civil rights demonstrators in Selma, Alabama. Many black leaders, outraged, began to lose faith in nonviolent and interracial strategies of protest. Meanwhile, the U.S. rushed into a deadly war in Vietnam, inciting rebelliousness at home. On August 11th, five days after Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act, racial violence exploded in the Watts area of Los Angeles. The six days of looting and arson that followed shocked many Americans and cooled their enthusiasm for the president&#39;s remaining initiatives. As the national mood darkened, the country became deeply divided. By the end of 1965, a conservative resurgence was beginning to redefine the political scene even as developments in popular music were enlivening the Left. In The Eve of Destruction, Patterson traces the events of this transformative year, showing how they dramatically reshaped the nation and reset the course of American life....more

Although Americans had been shocked by the assassination in 1963 of President Kennedy, they exuded a sense of consensus and optimism that showed no signs of abating. Indeed, political liberalism and interracial civil rights activism made it appear as if 1965 would find America more progressive and unified than it had ever been before. In January 1965, President Lyndon Johnson proclaimed that the country had “no irreconcilable conflicts.” Johnson, who was an extraordinarily skillful manager of Congress, succeeded in securing an avalanche of Great Society legislation in 1965, including Medicare, immigration reform, and a powerful Voting Rights Act. But as esteemed historian James T. Patterson reveals in The Eve of Destruction, that sense of harmony dissipated over the course of the year. As Patterson shows, 1965 marked the birth of the tumultuous era we now know as “The Sixties,” when American society and culture underwent a major transformation. Turmoil erupted in the American South early in the year, when police attacked civil rights demonstrators in Selma, Alabama. Many black leaders, outraged, began to lose faith in nonviolent and interracial strategies of protest. Meanwhile, the U.S. rushed into a deadly war in Vietnam, inciting rebelliousness at home. On August 11th, five days after Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act, racial violence exploded in the Watts area of Los Angeles. The six days of looting and arson that followed shocked many Americans and cooled their enthusiasm for the president&#39;s remaining initiatives. As the national mood darkened, the country became deeply divided. By the end of 1965, a conservative resurgence was beginning to redefine the political scene even as developments in popular music were enlivening the Left.

Text Appearing Before Image: onshipbetween the interests and activities of a household and the number of tele-phones it should have. Interest in the world outside, in school or church,in clubs and neighbors, in shops at home, or friends far distant, requires areasonable accessibility to the telephones which afford the means of main-taining these interests comfortably and pleasurably. The single telephone home of yesterday has become the multi-telephonehome of today. The modern criterion of telephone service is the familyneed, just as it is for the transportation, lighting, heating, laundering orrefrigerating conveniences that modern America is adopting. The nationalcommon sense approves of a telephone not only in the living-room and masterbedroom, but also in the sun-porch, guest-room, kitchen, garage, laundry,servants hall—1/ their presence there is prescribed by the requirements ofthe household. The following pages illustrate some of these applicationsof the American idea of telephone convenience.

  Photo:English: Astronomers have discovered a massive cluster of young galaxies forming in the distant universe. The growing galactic metropolis, named COSMOS-AzTEC3, is the most distant known massive "proto-cluster" of galaxies, lying about 12.6 billion light-years away from Earth. Members of the developing cluster are shown here, circled in white, in this image taken by Japan's Subaru telescope atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii. The cluster was discovered by a suite of multi-wavelength telescopes, including NASA&#39;s Spitzer, Chandra and Hubble space observatories, Subaru and the W.M. Keck Observatory, also atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii. The other dots in this picture are stars or galaxies that are not members of the cluster -- most of the them are located closer to us than the cluster, but some are farther away. The two brightest spots are stars. Though they appear bright in this image, they are actually tens of thousands of times fainter than what we can see with our eyes.

It&#39;s also a book about the destructive power of secrets - both family and government. Her father&#39;s hidden liquor bottles, the strange cancers in children in the neighborhood, the truth about what was made at Rocky Flats (cleaning supplies, her mother guessed) - best not to inquire too deeply into any of it. But as Iversen grew older, she began to ask questions. She learned about the infamous 1969 Mother&#39;s Day fire, in which a few scraps of plutonium spontaneously ignited and - despite the desperate efforts of firefighters - came perilously close to a &quot;criticality&quot;, the deadly blue flash that signals a nuclear chain reaction. Intense heat and radiation almost melted the roof, which nearly resulted in an explosion that would have had devastating consequences for the entire Denver metro area. Yet the only mention of the fire was on page 28 of the Rocky Mountain News, underneath a photo of the Pet of the Week. In her early thirties, Iversen even worked at Rocky Flats for a time, typing up memos in which accidents were always called &quot;incidents&quot;. And as this memoir unfolds, it reveals itself as a brilliant work of investigative journalism - a detailed and shocking account of the government&#39;s sustained attempt to conceal the effects of the toxic and radioactive waste released by Rocky Flats, and of local residents&#39; vain attempts to seek justice in court. Here, too, are vivid portraits of former Rocky Flats workers - from the healthy, who regard their work at the plant with pride and patriotism, to the ill or dying, who battle for compensation for cancers they got on the job.

Kearney accordingly sent back three-fourths of his forces, andwith a party of only a hundred men made his way to the Pacific. Onthat far-off coast stirring events had happened. For four years Colonel John C. Fremont had been exploring thecountry west of the Rocky Mountains. He had hoisted the Americanflag on the highest peak of the great range, and then directed his route bySalt Lake to Oregon. Turning southward into California, he receiveddespatches informing him of the impending war with Mexico. Deter-mined to strike a blow for his country, he urged the people of California,many of whom were Americans, to declare their independence. Thehardy frontiersmen of the Sacramento valley flocked to his standard; anda campaign was at once begun to overthrow the Mexican authority.

These instruments will shed light on how warm and geologically active Mars still is, study its reflexes as it whips about in its orbit around the sun, and provide essential clues on the evolution of the rocky planets of our solar system.

Though gas pressure, rather than pumps, was used on his first successful liquid-propellant rocket shot of March 16, 1926, the idea of combining both pumps into a single unit led to a successful solution of the pump problem and hence marked a significant advance.

  Photo:English:  Exterior view of the Santa Ana (Orange County) Court House, 1905 Photograph of the exterior view of the Santa Ana (Orange County) Court House, 1905. The building is about three-stories tall and features dormer windows, stone masonry walls, a square tower, and pointed roofs. Trees line the sidewalks around the building.; "The landmark Old Orange County Courthouse is Southern California's oldest court building and is one of the few remaining buildings in the region in the Romanesque Revival style. From its construction in 1901, this granite and sandstone building has been the traditional home of county government. Today the 30,000-square foot building has been restored to look much as it had at the turn of the last century. The building contains the Orange County History Center (which includes the Old Courthouse Museum, the Orange County Archives, and the library of the Pacific Coast Archaeological Society) as well as government offices. The building is on the National Register of Historic places and is a State of California Historic Landmark.&quot; -- unknown author.; &quot;In 1893 the newly created County of Orange purchased the land where the Old Courthouse sits from William Spurgeon, the founder of Santa Ana, for the express purpose of building a permanent courthouse. But the first building constructed on that parcel was not a courthouse but the county jail, which opened in 1897. Not until 1900 did the County Board of Supervisors commission the design of a courthouse by Los Angeles architect Charles Strange. His design was remarkably similar to that of a county courthouse in Iowa, a point not lost on the early residents of Orange County, many of whom had immigrated from the Midwest. The new courthouse was to be the most impressive building in early twentieth century Orange County. After seventeen months of construction, the building was formally dedicated in November of 1901. It housed most of the functions of County government. Superior court required just one courtroom, but by 1914 the addition of a second courtroom was required. As the populations of Orange County and the rest of Southern California grew, the Old Courthouse was inadequate for all of the needs of local government. Additional buildings were constructed, and nearby hotels and churches were rented for offices and courtrooms. Despite several proposals to remodel and expand the old Courthouse, the building remained essentially unchanged.&quot; -- unknown author (part 1 of 2).; &quot;The Old Courthouse was the scene of several important and far reaching court cases. In People vs. Termo Corporation (1993), the bench ruled that the State of California was entitled to royalties for easements for offshore oil drilling. In 1941, the court found for the plaintiff in Irvine Co. vs. California Employment Commission, holding that all employees of a large farm enterprise were still considered agricultural labor and thus exempt from the Unemployment Insurance Act. During one of the most trials of its era, People of California v. Gollum and Overell (1947), hundreds of people flocked to the Old Courthouse for a glimpse of one of the defendants. Others waited in line for a chance to sit in the audience section of the courtroom. Though the trial resulted in an acquittal of the defendants, new regulations for the sale and purchase of explosives were enacted. The courts left the Old Courthouse in 1969 for a new and larger facility on Civic Center Drive in Santa Ana. Soon, the Old Courthouse was recognized for its historical significance, and was designated a California State Historic Landmark and placed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1983, restoration construction began on the Old Courthouse, a project that was completed in 1992.&quot; -- unknown author (part 2 of 2).
