Leo Frank - Jew Scumbag
by Our German Ancestry in Education
Tags: Leo Frank Mary Phagan Anti-Defamation League Naional Pencil Company Governor Joh Slaton
Our German Ancestry
Hosted by: Robert Schlattmann
Leo Frank, a filthy jew scumbag, sexually assaulted and strangled 13 year old Mary Phagan on Saturday, April 26, 1913. The criminal jew alliance of B'nai B'rith and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) schemed together for years since the Leo Frank Trial to overturn the guilty verdict. In 1986, these subversive jew agencies coerced a "posthumous pardon" for the jew scumbag. A pardon only forgives a debt owed to society, it does not eliminate or alter a guilty verdict, but liberal minded fools will think Frank is innocent.
These jews, cunning as they are, always plot incrementally over time, thereby achieving their ultimate devious goal. In this case, a declaration of innocence, with an apology and civic award for the jew scumbag, seems to be their intent. Only a filthy jew and the most credulous of dolts would believe Leo Frank innocent of his crime. This worthless, degenerate, piece of filth was lynched in Marietta, Georgia on August 17, 1915.

In 1903, an employee of Thomas Edison's motion picture company produced a movie with a story. It was called "The Great TrainRobbery." It told a simple story of a group of western criminals who steal money from a train. Later they are killed by a group of police in a gun fight. The movie was extremely popular. "The Great TrainRobbery" started the huge motion picture industry.
The Great Train Robbery was directed and photographed by Edwin S. Porter - a former Thomas Edison cameraman. It was a primitive one-reeler action picture, about 10 minutes long, with 14-scenes, filmed in November 1903 - not in the western expanse of Wyoming but on the East Coast in various locales in New Jersey (at Edison's New York studio, at Essex County Park in New Jersey, and along the Lackawanna railroad).
The precursor to the western film genre was based on an 1896 story by Scott Marble. The film's title was also the same as a popular contemporary stage melodrama. It was the most popular and commercially successful film of the pre-nickelodeon era, and established the notion that film could be a commercially-viable medium.
The film was originally advertised as "a faithful duplication of the genuine 'Hold Ups' made famous by various outlaw bands in the far West." The plot was inspired by a true event that occurred on August 29, 1900, when four members of George Leroy Parker's (Butch Cassidy) 'Hole in the Wall' gang halted the No. 3 train on the Union Pacific Railroad tracks toward Table Rock, Wyoming. The bandits forced the conductor to uncouple the passenger cars from the rest of the train and then blew up the safe in the mail car to escape with about $5,000 in cash.
The film used a number of innovative techniques, many of them for the first time, including parallel editing, minor camera movement, location shooting and less stage-bound camera placement. Jump-cuts or cross-cuts were a new, sophisticated editing technique, showing two separate lines of action or events happening continuously at identical times but in different places. The film is intercut from the bandits beating up the telegraph operator (scene one) to the operator's daughter discovering her father (scene ten), to the operator's recruitment of a dance hall posse (scene eleven), to the bandits being pursued (scene twelve), and splitting up the booty and having a final shoot-out (scene thirteen). The film also employed the first pan shots (in scenes eight and nine), and the use of an ellipsis (in scene eleven). Rather than follow the telegraph operator to the dance, the film cut directly to the dance where the telegraph operator enters. It was also the first film in which gunshots forced someone to dance (in scene eleven) - an oft-repeated, cliched action in many westerns. And the spectacle of the fireman (replaced by a dummy with a jump cut in scene four) being thrown off the moving train was a first in screen history.
In the film's fourteen scenes, a narrative story with multiple plot lines was told - with elements that were copied repeatedly afterwards by future westerns - of a train holdup with six-shooters, a daring robbery accompanied by violence and death, a hastily-assembled posse's chase on horseback after the fleeing bandits, and the apprehension of the desperadoes after a showdown in the woods. The steam locomotive always provided a point of reference from different filming perspectives. The first cowboy star, Gilbert M. 'Broncho Billy' Anderson played several roles: a bandit, a wounded passenger, and a tenderfoot dancer.
In Filmcollectief we got this movie for transferring and we were so excited that we have put an music-track under it because silent movie is so really silent. Allthough we had a perfect 16mm version, the copy-proces from 35mm to 16mm was not done very well. Anyway, the movie is over 100 years old.

1001 Films to See Before You Die
It is reported to be the first use of narrative in a film in this country, and it is certainly the first "western" film. All other cops and robbers films sprang from this one.
It is short. Depending upon where you see it (YouTube, Google, etc), it can run from nine to 11 minutes, and some have color painted in. It was not about "stars" as no one is credited in the film, not even the director. It is about an infant industry showing what they can do and what we can maybe expect in the next 100 years. Hard to believe how far we have come from this start.
It will keep your interest from start to finish, which is more than can be said about many films today.
Any serious film lover has to add this to their list.

perhaps mixed with 1904 version?
The movie itself was all right, but I'm wondering based on descriptions if some of the footage doesn't come from the 1904 version "The Great Train Robbery" plagiarized from Porter by Siegmund Lubin (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0000487/). Specifically, the scene where the train conductor is beated repeatedly and thrown off the train seems like it should be from the 1904 version. However, this version does not have the arches in the dancing scene that should also be in the 1904 version, making me guess that the two versions were mixed for this copy.

Worth watching
WOW!! Finally its here. A small silent work that holds some "firsts" indeed. Perhaps, the very first western film with great narrative. The first stuntman "Frank Hanaway" who is seen falling from the horse and yes!! the train driver who is seen getting down from the engine, (I have forgotten his name) worked in almost 2000 shorts.
Nothing great perhaps but its worth a watch. An absolute archival material.
Strange, it is not in PUBLIC DOMAIN.

not jump cuts
Great upload, but just a minor picky note: jump cuts and cross cuts are not the same thing. A jump cut is a deliberately jarring cut when a piece of footage is removed from a continuous shot, giving us a "jump" in the the shot. An familiar example would be the old romantic comedy cliche' of a woman going on a series of bad blind dates; we see the same shot of a restaurant table but we keep cutting to different losers sitting in the chair.

Another inovation?
I had a Black Hawk copy of this film in 8mm. In their synopsis and on the film they said that they restored color portions of the film. This was done with water colors and was seen in just a few instances such as gun shots (orange) peopele at a dance (a Blue Dress) and the safe explosion (orange). They claim that each frame was painted to heighten the effect.

"For a country exhausted by the tragedies of war and depleted by a raging flu epidemic, the timing of George Herman Ruth's arrival in New York in 1920 was perfect. Baseball had never seen anything like him on or off the field. His confident swagger, seductive charisma, and powerhouse swing at the plate was just what the country needed to forget its sorrows and kick off the jubilation of the Jazz Age." "This is the story of that incredible year and the transforming power of Babe Ruth and the Yankees of 1920.".
"When Americans wanted desperately to move on, drink gin, dance the Charleston, and enjoy a good game of baseball, the Babe gave it to them. Big time. Not only did he hit a record-breaking 54 home runs that season, he unleashed a new way to play the game, helped launch the Yankee dynasty, and saved baseball in the midst of the devastating Black Sox scandal. History was in the making." "Told in luminous prose by baseball writer Jim Reisler, Babe Ruth: Launching the Legend is a rare glimpse into the story that started it all, a year when Ruth was simply a ballplayer, an emerging star on the very verge of becoming a mythic hero."--BOOK JACKET.

He has a contract through next year. He has not coached the team for the last couple years. If you look at Bobby on the sidelines he does not wear a headset, calls no offensive or defensive plays, Jimbo Elliot is the unofficial coach now, let Bobby stay thru is contract and live with it.

A Feasibility Study of an Online Intervention for Sexual Rehabilitation in Prostate Cancer

- How to Read a Study Record
Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common cancer for men. When treated early enough it is typically curable. However, common treatments, such as radical prostatectomy and radiation therapy, often result in significant negative outcomes with regard to sexual, psychological and social function. Both men and partners have identified the need for more information and support to address sexual health concerns after treatment. However, very few sexual rehabilitation interventions have been developed and rigorously assessed.
Purpose: The investigators propose to develop and pilot test a new program to meet the sexual health needs of men with PCa and their partners using an online, professionally facilitated education/support program. The goals of the program are to improve sexual function, intimacy and mood for men and their partners after treatment for localized PCa. The program will be offered through Cancer Chat Canada, an existing and well-tested Canadian platform for professionally facilitated support group programs.
What Participants Can Expect: A total of 24 men and their female partners (48 individuals) will be recruited and assigned to one of two groups. The first group will participate in the program immediately; the second group will be offered the program after a 5-month delay. The decision about which group will start immediately and which later will be made randomly (by chance). Both groups of men and partners will be asked to complete questionnaires three times and, at the end of the program, to provide the researchers feedback about how satisfied they were with the program, the changes they made, things they learned as a result of the program, and suggestions for improving the program. Participants must have access to a computer, an Internet connection and be willing to attend online, chat room meetings each week for 1.5 hours for 6 weeks.
Implications: Sexual rehabilitation is a high need for men affected by PCa, but is difficult to access. The investigators hope to improve access to sexual health care through this study.

Obsessions: The Hunger Games Scarf
If Jennifer Lawrence playing a female warrior isn't enough to make you like Hunger Games, the costumes with looks from Alexander McQueen and other designers should catch your attention. The scarf-cum-sweater vest that Katniss Everdeen wears over her father's leather jacket was what made us take notice. While the original is the work of Los Angeles knitwear designer Maria Dora, we found a few others that evoke the feminine practicality of a huntress uniform. Bless' Triangle Scarf has a toggle that allows the chunky knit to be worn several ways, while Yokoo's Nantucket Cowl simply slips over the head. For a more urban-appropriate look, opt for Oak's Funnel Neck Poncho.

31 March 2008 - 20:19Moving Right Along
DA and I spent a good portion of yesterday getting all the last bits and pieces out of the old spot.
When we had finished, washed up, last minute checked and locked up, we were walking away from the end of a pretty important era. After 2 years, the shop where I started out became too small. I hope I never have to move shops again. What a pain! Stuff has a way of accumulating, especially in dark seldom used places like the back alley and the basement. Needless to say, I found all kinds of stuff I'd forgotten about over the last two years.
Oh well. That chapter is closed, and we are working on making the new spot a big success, now that we are "officially" open. We had a soft opening on Saturday, which was great. We didn't exactly break any sales records, but we did manage to let folks know we're here. The weather has yet to cooperate. Still in the 30s, and still snowing. All I can say is, I hope spring comes hard and fast. We won't need rain until August at this point….
Here are a few shots of the new place from Saturday.
There is still a fair amount of unpacking to do. I'm also expecting quite a bit of product to arrive too. Before too long, it will look like a real bike shop…
…except without the clutter!

Rebecca and Drew Krimski's 1920s Georgian home in Guilford has an incredible pedigree—from the limestone steps culled from the same quarry as President Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, to the exterior that replicates Talbot County's historic Ratcliffe Manor, to the circa 1740 hardwood floors transplanted from Baltimore's first theater.
So why was it, when the couple moved in 13 years ago, Rebecca promptly burst into tears? Quite simply, she was overwhelmed by the enormity of it all.
"This was a huge step for us," says Krimski, who's now able to laugh at the memory. "The house was so beautiful, but it hadn't had any work done in so long either inside or outside. Our little bit of furniture filled about a tenth of the house. That first day, I was crying, 'What have we done?'"
Krimski quickly dried her eyes and set to restore the home to its rightful grandeur. For help with the overgrown gardens, she turned to Bob Jackson Landscapes.
"I like very neat, manicured looking plants with one plant on this side and one plant on that side," says Krimski, a former Ford model who now does web design for Drew's IT company, The ACI Group. "But Bob is very much the opposite—he likes free flowing, so it was interesting for us to work together."
Their disparate visions have yielded the perfect artistic blend of formal and informal. To date, the garden consists of three distinct outdoor areas. The first is a large covered patio area and elegant terrace paved in historic brick that looks onto a manicured lawn rife with climbing hydrangea, rhododendron, and potted plants. The middle garden features a profusion of pink Knock Out roses, bluestone chip paths, an iron gate, and a fragrant sweetbay magnolia tree delicately drooping over a whimsical fountain. The last garden, a kitchen garden, includes a potting bench and an herb garden with oregano, rosemary, lavender, and mint.
An avid nature lover, Krimski learned to garden alongside her beloved grandfather, who lived on Hart-Miller Island. "He had a small nursery there, and I remember going to his house and being enchanted by all the plants he had in the yard," she says. "It was so packed, he hardly had any grass, and I was mesmerized by it."
These days, Krimski is under the spell of her own garden. "Sometimes I'll be sitting in my dining room and just stare out the window," she says. "I see the overall picture but then I study the details, the petals of the flowers, the little things."
Krimski has also become more carefree in her approach to gardening. "I always wanted everything to be so amazingly perfect and immaculate, but that's not what it's about—it's about things evolving and changing," she says. "I've learned that a garden is never perfect. Years ago, I would have said that this rhododendron is out of control," she says pointing to the plant off the terrace. "Now it's like, 'It's a little leggy, but it's beautiful.' You have to go with nature and be free with it."

Military Communications
While billions of dollars are being spent by the US, UK, Australia, India, NATO, Brazil and others to produce better tactical radio systems, this Israeli startup has gone and created a revolutionary tactical communications solution, free of the failings of today's technologies. Military communications development budgets are vast – 17 billion dollars were spent in 2012 on tactical radio solutions alone. Superior communication is as important a tactical advantage as having the best tanks, guns and warplanes. Despite the massive funds invested to create a next generation tactical radio that can give high quality continuous transmission, the complexity of the task at hand has caused many development projects to be cut or scrapped before reaching their goals.
This company has developed a unique and patented technology using narrow band radio and efficient mathematical and networking algorithms. They have gone and produced a radical product that empowers existing communications networks with a technology that meets the operational requirements others are still dreaming of. They have created a buzz amongst some of the world's most significant military organizations.
The founders are seeking suitable partners to assist in establishing sales channels for existing products, expanding business development, to fund initial manufacturing processes and to continue with R&D activity.
View DetailsDrug Delivery
Ra'anana-based company specializes in the development and application of advanced trans-membranal drug delivery formulation solutions. Seeking introductions to strategic partners, pharma companies, medical research institutions and investors.
The basic drug delivery system, based on a micro-emulsion technology, was originally developed at Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Beer Sheva. During the past four years the Company has developed a new advanced safe, painless and cutting-edge platform.
The Company's proposed technology consists of Self-Assembled Nano-structural System (SANS) (Ø=10-50nm) for drug delivery or SANS-based Drug Delivery Technology (SANS- DDT) comprising of a versatile, bio-compatible, isotropic, thermodynamically stable drug delivery system made of pharmaceutical grade ingredients (GRAS). Management believes that the Company's SANS offers an appropriate drug delivery system also for new and emerging biotechnology derived products. It will enable non-parenteral/needle-free delivery of biopharmaceuticals that are presently administered subcutaneously (e.g. insulin injection) and other medications that transdermal delivery would improve their efficacy but are not permeable through the skin.
The Company is currently engaged in three developments:
1. Continuous Transdermal L-DOPA/Carbidopa Therapy for Parkinson's Disease (Patch); The Company's approach may provide a clinically effective transdermal delivery of levodopa for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and to eventually achieve a simple solution for the late motor complications. According to the Parkinson's Disease Foundation, there are around one million Americans suffering from Parkinson's disease, and 60,000 new patients are diagnosed each year. Medication costs are estimated to be around $2,500 per person each year, with a total economic impact of around $25 billion in the U.S. alone.
2. Nasal Administration of Parathyroid Hormone; Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is naturally an 84-amino-acid polypeptide. Attempts to develop a drug based on the recombinant molecule rhPTH1-84, which have been unsuccessful so far. In 2002 the FDA approved teriparatide, PTH 1-34, of recombinant DNA origin, manufactured by made by Eli Lilly with the brand name FORTEOTM (injectable). Based on the animal studies carried out by the Company, Management believes that the Company may possibly develop a nasal delivery of the PTH 1-34 peptides using the SANS.
3. Intranasal Insulin Delivery;
The Company has obtained, in a series of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics studies in diabetic (chemically induced) rabbits; approximately 20% relative bioavailability was obtained by intranasal administration of nano-sized emulsion (compared with the conventional subcutaneous administration). The percentages of bioavailability obtained were, to the best of our knowledge, significantly higher values than any value published in the literature thus far. In recent experiments with a new formulation of SANS we have succeeded to further increase the bioavailability of insulin in the rabbit model (unpublished data).

View DetailsWater Vending
Petach Tikvah-based company provides an end-to-end solution for drinking water in any public space by installing and maintaining a network of "Drinking Water Vending Machines" (DWVM) in the public domain. Machines provide water that is cleaner and healthier than tap water and cheaper than bottled water. This not only makes water available "on the go" for the consumer, but also addresses many environmental concerns by providing a viable alternative to plastic bottles. The city's residents and visitors only need to bring their own bottle and woosh® does the rest providing a network of water stations that is intergraded with the smart city water grid.

had issue:
While we are all re-evaluating the Queen as someone who might actually like Ireland, it might be timely to summarise her extensive Irish ancestry.
The two great Norman families of medieval Ireland were the Butlers and the Fitzgeralds. The Queen directly descends from both many times. The most recent descents I can see for her are from James Butler, 1st Duke of Ormonde (died 1688), from James Fitzgerald, 10th Earl of Desmond (died 1529) and from Gerald Fitzgerald, 11th Earl of Kildare (died 1585). Through the latter she descends from Irish heroes Garret Mor Fitzgerald, 8th Earl of Kildare, and Garret Og Fitzgerald, 9th Earl of Kildare. Her ancestor Baron Portlester lies in a spectacular tomb [1] in St.Audoen's church on High Street in Dublin.
In terms of Gaelic families, the Queen descends (remarkably) from the rebel Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone (died 1616) and also from Diarmaid O'Brien, 5th Baron of Inchiquin (died 1624). Through the latter she descends from Connor O'Brien, King of Thomond (died 1540) and Domnall Mor O'Brien, King of Thomond (died 1194). Ultimately, she descends from Aoife Mac Murrough (who married Strongbow in 1170) and from Brian Boru, High King of Ireland (died 1014).
In fact, Ireland is littered with her ancestral homes and her ancestors' tombs. Her most recent Irish-born ancestor was apparently Richard Wellesley, 1st Marquess Wellesley (died 1842). Given all this, it does seem unfair that she was never allowed visit her ancestral homeland until now.

Azimuthal Anisotropy of Photon Production in Heavy-ion Collisions
Vladimir Skokov,
Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL)
Tuesday, January 15, 11:00 AM - Theory Seminar
NSCL Seminar Room
In contrast to hadronic observables, which strongly are influenced by the final state of the fireball created in a heavy-ion collision, the "direct" photons leave the fireball almost without interacting with the medium and thus they may play an important role in unraveling the properties of hot and dense matter. Measurements by the PHENIX collaboration revealed that the anisotropy of produced photons is very close to that of hadrons at sqrt(s) =200 GeV . Very recent data from the ALICE collaboration at the LHC affirms this at significantly higher collision energies. These results contradict the current theory of photon production: It has been expected that the elliptic flow of direct photons would be much smaller than that of hadrons because a significant fraction of photons has to be produced at early times, when the temperature is the highest. In this talk, I will discuss the novel photon production mechanism that is able to resolve the above problem. It stems from the conformal anomaly of QCD+QED and the existence of strong (electro)magnetic field in heavy-ion collisions. Using a realistic input for the magnetic field and the hydrodynamical description of the bulk modes of QCD plasma, I show that this mechanism leads to the photon production yield that is comparable to the yield from conventional sources. The transverse momentum spectra and the anisotropy (the elliptic "flow"), of photons at sqrt(s) =200 GeV are calculated. This mechanism provides considerable contribution to the anisotropy of photons. The results will be compared to the data from the PHENIX collaboration.

The Economic Aftermath of Hurricane Katrina
Article Citation
Vigdor, Jacob. 2008. "The Economic Aftermath of Hurricane Katrina."
Journal of Economic Perspectives,
22(4): 135-54.
DOI: 10.1257/jep.22.4.135
DOI: 10.1257/jep.22.4.135
On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina swept into Louisiana and New Orleans, a city built largely on land reclaimed from swamp, witnessed massive failures in its levees. Much of the city and its surrounding suburbs were inundated; those residents of the city who had not heeded warnings to flee the approaching storm were evacuated in its wake. In less than a week, the city's population declined from over 400,000 to near zero. Census Bureau estimates indicate that almost two years after the storm, by July 1, 2007, nearly half of these evacuees had yet to return. Will the future New Orleans bear any resemblance to the city that existed prior to Katrina? Most government authorities, from city officials to federal spokespersons, insist that New Orleans must -- and should -- be fully rebuilt. Many environmental scientists question whether such a rebuilding would be sensible, given the city's precarious geological position and the contribution of past land reclamation to the city's current vulnerability. The more basic positive question of whether the city will come back, however, is fundamentally an economic one. After Hurricane Katrina, will the city of New Orleans continue to be a preferred location for more than 400,000 residents and their employers? Or will the disaster shift the city to a new equilibrium level of employment and population?

Consumer Price Index- CPI
In 2007 the Bureau of Labor Statistics began publishing the index to three decimal places.
For more information see "What is the Difference between Inflation and the Consumer Price Index?"
We can calculate the Current Annual Inflation Rate by determining the rate of change for exactly one year and expressing it as a percent. This is done by taking the current CPI-U Index and subtracting the Consumer Price index from a year ago and dividing the result by the Consumer Price index from a year ago. See How to Calculate the Inflation Rate for more information. Or you may use our proprietary Inflation Calculator.
Our Historical Inflation Data is calculated to two decimal places while the government only calculates to one decimal place. Our data provides a "finer" view. The government may say the rate for two consecutive months was 3.2% while our data may show it as 3.15% and 3.24% respectively.
Our Projected Inflation Rate is our projection of the future direction and magnitude of the inflation rate based on our proprietary Moore Inflation Predictor©.
Subscribe to our FREE monthly E-zine and we will keep you up-to-date on what is happening in the area of inflation, interest rates and market trends.
