Steven Bach was interviewed on stage before an audience. He talked about his book Leni: The Life and Work of Leni Riefenstahl, published by Knopf. German filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl is best known for her documentary films Triumph of the Will and Olympia, produced during the Nazi regime. Riefenstahl was commonly known as "Hitler's filmmaker" and her work was used for propaganda purposes. But Leni Riefenstahl attempted to deny that she knew anything of the Holocaust during her time working with the Nazis. A short clip from Riefenstahl's film Olympia was shown. Mr. Bach responded to questions from members of the audience.
Steven Bach teaches film studies and was formerly the head of production at United Artists. This program in the Edmund J. Safra Hall was part of the Museum's book club, Looking Back, Facing Forward, co-sponsored by the Forward and moderated by Gabriel Sanders. close

WASHINGTON—Andy Pettitte on Wednesday backed away from his testimony against former baseball teammate Roger Clemens, leaving a judge to consider whether a central plank of the case against Mr. Clemens should be removed from the jury's consideration.
Baseball pitcher Andy Pettitte on Wednesday backed away from his testimony that friend and teammate Roger Clemens once admitted to having used performance-enhancing drugs. Janet Adamy has details on Lunch Break. Photo: Getty Images.
Mr. Pettitte's second day on the witness stand against Mr. Clemens, who is on trial for allegedly lying to Congress about using performance-enhancing drugs, undercut much of his first.
On Tuesday, the New York Yankees pitcher told jurors in federal court here that in 1999 or 2000 he had a conversation with Mr. Clemens in which the pitching great admitted having used human growth hormone.
On Wednesday, under questioning from one of Mr. Clemens's lawyers, he conceded there was a 50-50 chance that he had misunderstood Mr. Clemens, and later referred to the exchange as "the conversation I thought I had,'' casting fresh doubt on a prosecution case that has already seen one mistrial.
Mr. Pettitte, 39 years old, played with Mr. Clemens, 49, on the Yankees and the Houston Astros and has said it is difficult to testify against a man he considers a good friend and a mentor. Through both days of testimony, he was visibly uncomfortable on the stand, averting his gaze from Mr. Clemens and speaking softly, often with short, barely audible answers.
As he left court Wednesday, he was asked if he was glad his part in the case is over.
"Yeah,'' he said.
Mr. Clemens's lawyer, Michael Attanasio, urged Judge Reggie Walton to instruct the jury not to consider Mr. Pettitte's account of the HGH conversation. That would change Mr. Pettitte's role in the trial from that of a key prosecution witness to an asset for the defense. Much of the rest of his testimony consists of his saying he never saw Mr. Clemens with steroids, needles or performance-enhancing drugs and never thought as he watched him play that Mr. Clemens was cheating with steroids or HGH.
Andy Pettitte on Tuesday testified that Roger Clemens said he used growth hormone. On Wednesday, Mr. Pettitte, above, said he wasn't sure. Associated Press
Judge Walton didn't immediately rule on the request but seemed to agree with the reasoning. "His testimony now before the jury is 'I don't know,' '' the judge said.
Prosecutor Steven Durham, who was also the prosecutor when the attempt to try Mr. Clemens last year ended in a mistrial, was on the defensive for much of the day. At one point, as prosecutors sought to introduce evidence that might violate attorney-client privilege, Judge Walton became exasperated.
"Maybe I'm dense. Maybe I don't understand the law," he said. "You all are taking positions that seem totally absurd to me.''
Mr. Clemens has pleaded not guilty. He faces the possibility of about a year and a half in prison if convicted of perjury and obstruction of Congress.
Attorney General Eric Holder, responding to questions at an unrelated news conference later in the day, said he was unaware of Mr. Pettitte's testimony, but he defended the government's prosecution.
"One has to view these cases in their totality…It's about testifying falsely before Congress," he said. "On that basis, I think it was a justified use of our resources to bring the case."

|Early Irish History and Antiquities and the History of West Cork | 1916 | W. O'Halloran
|Chapter XIX (2) | Start of Chapter
The O'Driscolls were not exterminated by the newcomers, and remained independent until the year 1232, when Cormac Goth, third son of McCarthy Mor, acquired dominion over the entire region. To the end of the sixteenth century they still possessed Baltimore, Sherkin and Cape Clear, also the adjoining lands, Kilcoe, Creagh, and Aghdown. Having received little quarter at the hands of Irish chiefs, it is no wonder they became loyal to the English crown.
An English title was bestowed on Fineen O'Driscoll for his loyalty, and he so conformed to English customs, as to take his lands by letter patent from Elizabeth.
The O'Driscolls were almost always engaged in petty warfare, smuggling, pirating, and raiding. It was the custom of the country at the time. During the fifteenth century they and the Waterford people had many an encounter. They were accustomed to visit the city from time to time, for the sake of plunder, and sail home with their ships laden with booty. In the year 1450 it was enacted " as divers of the King's subjects had been slain by Fineen O'Hedriescoll, chieftain of the nation, that no person of the parts of Waterford, Wexford, etc., shall go within the country of the said O'Hedriescoll under heavy penalties of forfeiture."
In 1537, four ships from Lisbon, laden with wine, consigned to the Waterford merchants, were, by stress of weather, driven to take shelter at Baltimore. One of these, the Santa Maria de Soci, was boarded by Conoghure O'Driscoll, chieftain of Sherkin, and his sons, and piloted safely into Baltimore Harbour. The officers and men of the ship were invited to an entertainment to Baltimore Castle by the O'Driscolls, and while there enjoying themselves were manacled. The O'Driscolls and their men went in their boats to the ship, took possession of the wine, and freely distributed it among their followers.
The Waterford people, hearing of the seizure, sent an armed expedition under the command of Captain Dobbyn. On arriving at Baltimore, he liberated the crew, and immediately sailed back to Waterford. Of the 100 tuns of wine, 25 only remained unconsumed. Some short time after, an expedition of 400 men, well equipped, set sail from Waterford in two large vessels under command of Bailiff Woodlock and Captain Dobbyn. Arriving in Baltimore Harbour they anchored near the Franciscan Abbey on Sherkin Island. Very soon they commenced operations, attacked and battered the castle of Dunilong, which they entered, and took away large quantities of malt, barley, and salt; they burned forty of the chief pinnaces, and forty more, with the big galley of thirty oars, were conveyed to Waterford as trophies of war. The Franciscan Abbey, with the mill annexed, was greatly damaged, and the inhabitants and houses of the island were visited with fire and sword, and little mercy shown. The islands near were treated in a similar manner, and, to complete the work, the attacking party passed over to Baltimore, stormed the Castle of Dunashad, and burnt and sacked the town.
In the year 1601, on the arrival of the Spaniards at Kinsale, Sir Fineen joined the insurgents, and allowed his castles to be garrisoned by Spanish soldiers. The insurrection proved a failure, and was fatal to Sir Fineen, but he managed to secure a pardon from Elizabeth, to whom he was fully reconciled on account of the following service. An English fleet happened to be becalmed outside Baltimore. Sir Fineen entertained the officers and men most hospitably, and good wine was distributed so plentifully that it flooded the town. Handfuls of silver were thrown into the well, which supplied diversion for the crews, and up to the present this well retains the name of Tobar-an-arigid. Elizabeth, to compliment Sir Fineen for his liberality to the fleet, summoned him to court. The Queen died before his arrival in London, and Sir Fineen himself soon after died in England.
According to O'Donovan, Sir Fineen let the entire of the Ballymore territory to Sir Thomas Crooke (one of the undertakers) for twenty-one years at a fine of £2,000 sterling, and thus practically laid the foundation for a forfeiture. Sir Walter Coppinger, during his absence in England, intruded on the estate. The matter was contested by Sir Fineen's heir, and some of the citizens of Baltimore. Coppinger was confined in Dublin Castle for contempt of court, but he granted a lease of the whole territory to Henry Busher, who was one of the commissioners appointed to examine the case. The court provided a crooked devisee, and the O'Driscolls suffered the loss of their patrimony. Shortly after Sir Fineen's death the senior branch became extinct in Ireland.
One of the Castlehaven branch of the family was colonel of a regiment of James II., and bravely defended Ringroan Castle against the renowned Marlborough. Some members of the family emigrated to Spain and distinguished themselves abroad in a military capacity.
St. Fachna, founder of the diocese of Ross, in the sixth century, was a member of the O'Driscoll race.

Annals of the Famine in Ireland
Annals of the Famine in Ireland, by Asenath Nicholson, still has the power to shock and sadden even though the events described are ever-receding further into the past. When you read, for example, of the poor widowed mother who was caught trying to salvage a few potatoes from her landlord's field, and what the magistrate discovered in the pot in her cabin, you cannot help but be appalled and distressed.

Ireland's Welcome to the Stranger
This book, the prequel to Annals of the Famine in Ireland cannot be recommended highly enough to those interested in Irish social history. The author, Mrs Asenath Nicholson, travelled from her native America to assess the condition of the poor in Ireland during the mid 1840s. Refusing the luxury of hotels and first class travel, she stayed at a variety of lodging-houses, and even in the crude cabins of the very poorest. Not to be missed!

Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen wrote a baffling column today (1/24/12) praising part of Newt Gingrich's political persona–not the bad stuff, but man"of big ideas," as he put it (italics his). Cohen gives one example: Out of nowhere, he has exhumed Saul Alinsky, whose fame is limited to university sociology departments, and yet whose name is so perfectly evocative of old-style radicalism, vaguely European in sound, that it fits Gingrich's recent formulation, "people who don't like the classical America." Who dat, Newt? The reference, although a tad obscure, is nevertheless intriguing. It shows that Gingrich is familiar with the late […]

The major cloud platforms defy a simple, side-by-side analysis. Each of the major IaaS public-cloud platforms offers their own unique strengths and functionality. Options for on-site private cloud are diverse as well, and must be designed and deployed while taking existing legacy architecture and infrastructure into account. Then the reality is that most enterprises are embarking on a hybrid cloud strategy and programs.

Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, at more than US$500 billion, and ranks 23rd in the world. A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...

That implies that everything is on the Internet, and that simply should not be - especially for things that are blurring the line between medical devices that stimulate like a pacemaker and quantified self-sensors like a pedometer or pulse tracker.

We certainly live in interesting technological times. And no more interesting than the current competing IoT standards for connectivity. Various standards bodies, approaches, and ecosystems are vying for mindshare and positioning for a competitive edge. It is clear that when the dust settles, we will have new protocols, evolved protocols, that will change the way we interact with devices and infrastructure. We will also have evolved web protocols, like HTTP/2, that will be changing the very core of our infrastructures. At the same time, we have old approaches made new again like micro-services...

| Our 8 year old grand daughter still wets the bed at night. She was fully potty trained at 18 months, but started wetting at night at about 3 years old.
This is a child whose parents are divorced. Both parents have 50/50 custody. My son has his kids 1 week, then the X wife has them 1 week.
When she is with us for our son's week, we put her in Pull Ups. The reason for this is, she is a VERY heavy sleeper and doesn't wake up to use bathroom. The next morning she and the bed were drenched. Luckily we had plastic mattress covers on her bed.
Now for the problem! Her mother doesn't use Pull Ups. Her mothers whole house smells like PEE. It burns your eyes when she opens the front door. Now she tells the child not to let us use Pull Ups, and that is causes a bladder infection. The child crys now at bed time because she is afraid to put on the Pull Ups.
Do the Pull Ups cause bladder infection? I will not stop using them because I don't like for the house to smell like that, and I don't think living with that smell is healthy. What do you think?

|Use the Pull Ups. I remember Ann Landers recommended the Wee Wetter from the Sears Catalog. Our kids wet the bed late because they were deep sleepers too. That thing really works. Our daughter was cured in one night. It is a foil covered thin sheet of cardboard that is connected by wires to a dry cell battery. When a drop of water hits it, a loud buzzer goes off. We tried it before first using it so the child in question could see how it works. Just once did it. I do hope Sears still sells that in its catalog, but you could Google it to find it.

| I used to wet the bed when I was young..... I heard some people who do it end up murders..../seral killers- honestly its one of the signs they watch for.
If kid shows any violence or cruel acts towards animals as well as wets the bed get professional help, right away.
On a lighter note, perhaps something scary/bad has happened, and you need to talk with her about it.
Hope all goes well.

|Actually, late bed wetting runs in families. These kids are deep sleepers. Google bed wetting alarms.
- Posted by tracystoke (My Page) on Wed, Jan 7, 09 at 9:23
|so runswalken are you a serial killer.ive never heard such rubbish in my life.
Id check out the bed wetting alarms too,
- Posted by runsnwalken (My Page) on Wed, Jan 7, 09 at 9:40
|No... but its "a sign" Doesn't mean its going to happen.... just something to watch for.
Eating lots of red meat is " a sign" that you may get heart disease.. it doesn't mean you WILL get heart disease. Its only when you put it all together with Anti social behavior,cruelty to animals, that it ( bed wetting) becomes an issue
An alarm sounds good.

|The serial murderer theory is one of the Terrible Triad. Supposedly 60% of serial killers wet the bed PAST THE AGE OF 12. Obviously doesn't apply in this case.
- Posted by runsnwalken (My Page) on Thu, Jan 8, 09 at 22:05
|Past the age of 12... okay, thats pretty.. out there!

Their gaze isn't always direct, but can be felt sometimes
This weekend I shared Maura's bedroom in Ohio and Anna joined us, too. We shared some laughs.
Turns out there were more "kids" in the place than just the granddaughters.
The happy boy doll with the open mouth is Baby Michael and he is ALWAYS happy like you see him in the photograph.
If I heard right, he was a score in the Consignment Store.
The tiny baby was Anna's first doll but she's almost 11 and so sister Maura has taken over her care now.
A Photo Shoot Idea Results in a Teeth Clench, a Grimace and a Bobblehead Shot
Eight years ago I created a homemade book for granddaughter Anna for her third birthday. You know those blank white books you can buy in an art store or school supply? I photographed Baby Doll doing all sorts of things around the house and yard and swing set. I even had the photos printed on PAPER and mounted them on the pages and wrote a caption for each shot.
Anna wasn't a collaborator then as it was a surprise for her.
You get the idea of the book I made. And I thought I could make another one, no problem. HA!
Today her sister Maura (5+) thought it would be a great idea to make a book together, starring her Bitty Baby and Chelsea baby dolls and her AG Clare. I thought it sounded like a good idea, too.
Only problem, Maura suddenly got into some unnatural poses and grimaces and it didn't look right to me. Also the dolls seemed to have more vacant stares than good old Baby Doll (originally belonging to their mother Erika) who seemed MUCH more cooperative and responsive to my direction (plus it was my direction alone previously)
But I can learn from the experience of the photo shoot. The results did not match my vision. But Maura had a blast and likes the pictures and we all had a great laugh. Erika thinks my efforts are funny. I think it is good to show the outtakes sometimes, too.
I showed today's pics to her mother Erika and she said she loved them all. Her brothers and sisters are the one who said that Maura looks like a Bobblehead in the one (due to Grandma's angle and perspective)
Maura liked the photographs, just fine by her.
So here is what we came up with and for me it is back to the beginning and reworking the shots and getting Maura to ease up on the posing. Will see what we come up with on the next attempt.
Ooops down one subject
And the Bobblehead shot.
Getting Ready for a Couple of Houseguests
My DIL called last night and asked if the boys could stay at Grandma's house this weekend when the family comes in town for the big wedding.
Since their sisters are flower girl and junior bridesmaid the others will be very busy.
I've pulled out the PLAYMOBIL and LEGO and the little indoor tent. Stocking some of their favorite things to eat. Gearing up for company.
Tomorrow at school three classes taking finals and then I have to read and grade them but at 2:44, I'll be out the school door and headed to pick up my two grandsons for the weekend at my house. Very exciting.
Jack and MIchael share a chair while building LEGO®
Star Wars Lego® Figures Photo Found on my Phone
Either Michael or Jack, one of my grandsons, took this photo of Star Wars figures.. I found it in my December Photo Stream in Aperture tonight.
I hadn't seen it before, didn't notice it. I know I didn't take it. The kids love to use the electronic devices.
Any it was all set up and photographed (on the piano I'm fairly certain) and here's their shot. Guest blog photo by one of them.
I'd left the mini Light Sabers in a gift box with a friend's gift but she mailed them out from Pittsburgh in a card so they got to Ohio in time for Christmas. Need light sabers to do battle!! Thanks V.
Something about mini figures invites creative and imaginative play.
Either Michael (8) or Jack(6+) took this photo with my phone. I found it in the December photo stream tonight.
Lost Toys
The first one is from my sister in NYC who sent this phone photo of a toy she saw in the street for two days. Thanks Mary.
And then last night after the 100th Bday party I saw this little bunny rabbit and I asked the receptionist and she said it was someone's lost toy.
Two lost toys in one day.
Black and White Weekly Photo Challenge: Toys
I follow a blogger from South Africa at Sonel's Corner and you may have read some of her lovely comments on my blog. She hosted Flat Ruthie and introduced FR to the Vervet Monkeys . You can see what a Vervet Monkey looks like at Sonel's Corner blog post on B and W weekly challenge of Nature here.
She's started a black and white challenge and I've been thinking about participating but kept missing the deadline. The Black and White Weekly Photo Challenge theme this week is TOYS. Here I am in Ohio, visiting the grandchildren and there are plenty of toys.
I shot these toys today specifically for Sonel's challenge.
Then I converted them into black and white in Aperture and am posting a few from today's effort. Shot with Canon 5D -50mm 1.2 L series lens. I used the cable remote to avoid camera shake.
My DIL Erika's Grandmother Marion (Marlene's mother) crocheted this doll dress, bonnet and undergarments for this doll I took down from the high shelf in Anna's room.
Caught the afternoon light on her through the dining room window. I asked Erika if she had a name and she said no. Crocheted doll clothes were "in".
Mark(from Aunt Bobbie) and Erika's Teddy Bears. Mark's Brownie on the left and Erika's Teddy on the right. Presently residing in their daughter Anna's room on the high shelf, not getting any "play time".
This little doll was given to Anna in 2003 by my dear friend G. Anna's first doll. Maura popped into the photo shoot. She is also in charge of tending this dolly now. I knit the old cotton dishcloth pattern extra large for a dolly blanket. They drape so nicely.
Found the missing puzzle piece today. Ooops, the puzzle was discarded a long time ago. (this one shot with the iPhone) Always liked those knob puzzles.
Thanks to Sonel's Corner for the Black and White inspiration.
Anna and Her Sock Monkey Photo Shoot
Anna set up the sock monkey clan in the family room and photographed them. The most cooperative subjects you would wish for. A couple sock monkeys must have been hiding but collecting four grandchildren's monkeys is the challenging part. Trying to get the real family for a group shot is much more difficulty. I get a kick out of the kids trying out their photography skills. Anna(9) photographed this one with the iPad. Thanks Anna for the guest blog.

Ky Started Yo-Yoing at Age Eleven
I stopped into the old fashioned/classic toy store in the neighborhood of Shadyside on Ivy Street. The cool toy store is around the corner from where we lived when we first moved to Pittsburgh. This is the same store my three kids would browse in for the longest time on the way home from school in 1989-1991.
Two floors of toy store! Filled with LEGO® and Playmobil®, knights, puppets, trucks and trains, dolls and puzzles. Everything you can wish for as a child. You might see some items you yearned for as a kid but never received.
I was buying a gift for a friend.
And while I was there, the young man came from behind the counter and started yo-yoing. I mean yo-yoing extraordinaire! His name is Ky.
There was nothing else but to stop my shopping and watch in amazement. All I had with me was the phone camera. With a phone memory too full, I had to delete pics to take a few shots. (too much phoneography for challenges?)
Wowee Wow. I don't know how to describe it -but I was mesmerized. And then he put down the yo-yo and picked up a kendama. Yes, we have an old wooden one but I never knew what it was called. Or that it was of Japanese origin. He was smooth and skillful at both the yo-yo and kendama!
If you want to learn how to yo-yo like Ky you can head on over to Shadyside on Sunday at noon and practice how to put your yo-yo into a "sleep" so you can attempt the tricks like Ky was demonstrating. Learn "looping". Ky will be there teaching in the Yo-Yo/Skill Toy Club at S.W. Randall's. I think I need to return with a video camera and you can understand how you had to keep your eye on Ky and the yo-yo or Ky and the kendama. Do you have any yo-yo tricks?
Raggedy Duo in Public Domain But Does Anyone Play With Them Nowadays?
Never used nowadays lately but had to look it up to be sure I spelled it correctly.
While in Ohio this past weekend, I was helping sort through some toys in the playroom. Matchbox cars here, a duffel bag of puppets, strollers and baby dolls and a whole tub of action figures like Batman and Star Wars light sabers. A box of wooden blocks.
The grandchildren are growing up and many of the younger toys aren't being played with and room needs to be made for new ventures.
These Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls were gifts from Great Aunt Bobbie when Anna(9) was born. They looked exactly the same way they have smiled at me for all these years. No change in expression. Just grinning. They looked almost brand new.
I took them upstairs and set them up in my father's old oak rocker which is now in Mark's office. They didn't object to being photographed. I started thinking about rag dolls and how they aren't trendy and I wondered if people are still buying them. These are lovingly handmade in Kansas City and I think of them as classics. Nostalgia sets in. (more…)

The ad highlights and criticizes the former Democratic councilman's vote to take 5,000 NYPD officers off the the streets and de Blasio's response to an NYC biker gang attack on a family in an SUV several weeks ago. "Bill de Blasio's reckless agenda on crime will take us back to this," the ad's narrator says. The ad then flashes images of New York City during an era when violent crime was rampant and considered the norm. Is the ad effective? If the ad is targeted at New Yorkers who lived in the city for a period of time before the 1990's and prefer to forget some of the long gone scenes around places like: Times Square, alphabet city, Central Park at night, and the subway stations, the ad may jog their memory; however, the city is full of many faces, if not mostly, of voters who arrived well into the 1990's. After Republican Mayor Rudy Giuliani cracked down effectively with the NYPD on the city's crime like no other recent mayor before him, the vast majority of city dwellers, who were registered Democrats, expected nothing less from the mayor when it came to city's crime rate. The question this ad is asking here, though, is if New Yorkers have taken for granted their security and forgot or just do not know why New York remains a relatively safe place to live, work, and visit today.

|Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire
The Inca road system was the most extensive and advanced transportation system in pre-Columbian South America.[1] The construction of the roads required a large expenditure of time and effort, and the quality of that construction is borne out by the fact that it is still in quite good condition after over 400 years of use.[2] The network was based on two north-south roads with numerous branches.[3] The best known portion of the road system is the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. Part of the road network was built by cultures that precede the Inca Empire, notably the Wari culture. During the Spanish colonial era, parts of the road system were given the status of Camino Real.
The eastern route ran high in the puna grasslands and mountain valleys from Quito, Ecuador to Mendoza, Argentina. The western route followed the coastal plain not including in coastal deserts where it hugged the foothills.[4] More than twenty routes ran over the western mountains, while others traversed the eastern cordillera in the mountains and lowlands. Some of these roads reach heights of over 5,000 metres (16,000 ft) above sea level.[1] The trails connected the regions of the Inca empire from the northern provincial capital in Quito, Ecuador past the modern city of Santiago, Chile in the south. The Inca road system linked together about 40,000 kilometres (25,000 mi) of roadway[1] and provided access to over 3,000,000 square kilometres (1,200,000 sq mi) of territory.
Situated between 500 to 800 metres (1,600 to 2,600 ft) above sea level, this monumental road, which could reach 20 metres (66 ft) in width, connected populated areas, administrative centres, agricultural and mining zones as well as ceremonial centres and sacred spaces.
Although the Inca roads varied greatly in scale, construction, and appearance, for the most part they varied between about 1 to 4 metres (3.3 to 13.1 ft) in width.[5]
Much of the system was the result of the Incas claiming exclusive right over numerous traditional routes, some of which had been constructed centuries earlier mostly by the Wari Empire. Many new sections were built or upgraded substantially: through Chile's Atacama desert, and along the western margin of Lake Titicaca, serve as two examples.[1][6] The Incas developed techniques to overcome the difficult territory of the Andes. On steep slopes they built stone steps resembling giant flights of stairs. In desert areas near the coast they built low walls to keep the sand from drifting over the road.[7]
The Qhapaq Ñan (English: Great Inca Road, or Main Andean Road, and meaning "the beautiful road"[8]) constituted the principal north-south highway of the Inca Empire traveling 6,000 kilometres (3,700 mi) along the spine of the Andes.
The Qhapaq Ñan unified this immense and heterogeneous empire through a well-organized political system of power. It allowed the Inca to control his Empire and to send troops as needed from the capital, Cusco.[9]
The most important Inca road was the Camino Real (Royal Road), as it is known in Spanish, with a length of 5,200 kilometres (3,200 mi). It began in Quito, Ecuador, passed through Cusco, and ended in what is now Tucumán, Argentina. The Camino Real traversed the mountain ranges of the Andes, with peak altitudes of more than 5,000 m (16,000 ft). El Camino de la Costa, the coastal trail, with a length of 4,000 kilometres (2,500 mi), ran parallel to the sea and was linked with the Camino Real by many smaller routes.
The Inca used the road system for a variety of purposes. Not only did the road simply provide transportation for people who were traveling through the empire, the road also provided many military and religious purposes for the Inca.
The Inca had two main uses of transportation on the roads. They used the chasqui for relaying messages throughout the empire and llamas and alpacas for transporting goods.
The chasqui were known as the runners of the empire. They were estimated to run as much as 240 kilometers per day.[10] Chasquis were in charge of delivering everything from news to light weight goods such as fish.[11] Tampus, or weight stations were used as resting places for the chasquis as they made their journeys. Tampus were housing structures on the side of the road that provided water, supplies and shelter for the chasquis that passed by. They were also had supplies for the military that were headed into battle.[12]
Llamas and alpacas were also used frequently. Llamas and alpacas are light weight animals. They cannot carry much, but they are incredibly nimble. When transporting large amount of goods across the empire it was more efficient for the Incas to use large heard of llamas or alpacas and have two or three herdsmen.[13] The heardsmen would heard the animals up the steep mountain roads without having to risk peoples lives and while still being able to carry larger amounts of resources.[14]
Roads, trails and bridges were essential to the political cohesion of the Inca state and to the redistribution of goods within it.[15] All resources in the empire were the property of the ruling elite, the Inca.[16] The redistribution of these goods was known as vertical archipelago. This system was the basis for trade throughout the Inca empire.[17] Different sections of the empire had different resources. The roads were used to send out the resources to other parts of the empire that were in need of them. This is one of the reasons the Inca empire was so powerful. They not only had a multitude of resources, but a set system to make sure all parts of the empire were able to obtain all the resources.[18]
These roads provided easy, reliable and quick routes for the Empire's civilian and military communications, personnel movement, and logistical support. The prime users were imperial soldiers, porters and llama caravans, along with the nobility and individuals on official duty. Permission was required before others could walk along the roads, and tolls were charged at some bridges.[19]
Qollcas were used by the military and were stationed along the roads. Qollcas were long term storage houses for foods in the event of conflicts or shortages in the Inca Empire.[20] The qollcas were constructed with volcanic rock and built in a circular form. The bases were around or a little over 30 feet and almost 10 feet high with a conical thatched roof.[21] They were used primarily for the storage of grains and maize. These were food items had an extremely long expiration date which made them ideal for long term storage for the military[22]
To give an example of the degree to which Incas stored supplies, one facility at Huánuco Pampa totaled as much as 37,100 cubic meters and could support a population of between twelve and fifteen thousand persons.[16]
A high degree of energetic investment was put into the ritual purposes of the road. In Inca society, the mountains were objects of worship; the Incas held many rituals, including the sacrifice of children, goods, and llamas, at the tops of mountains. The only way for the Incas to reach the summits of the mountains for worship was by constructing roads. Many Inca roads went thousands of feet above sea level, such as mount Chañi, which had a road that started at the base and went to the summit, which was at a height of nearly six thousand feet.[23] In addition to high altitude shrines, there were also many holy shrines or religious sites, called wak'a, that were a part of the Zeq'e system along and near the roads. These shrines were either natural or modified features of the landscape, as well as buildings, where the Inca would visit for worship.[24]
Various means were used to bridge water courses. There were multiple types of bridges used throughout the road system. Some bridges were made of simple logs, while others were built of stone or floating reeds were used in marshy highlands.[25] Inca rope bridges also provided access across narrow valleys. Rafts were used to cross wide meandering rivers.A bridge across the Apurímac River, west of Cuzco, spanned a distance of 45 metres. Ravines were sometimes crossed by hanging baskets, or oroya, which could span distances of over 50 metres. Bridges were sometimes built in pairs.[26]
One of the difficulties of creating bridges was obtaining wood. Sometimes, the laborers who were making the bridges has to bring the lumber from very far away. In places where they had no timber, bridges would be built from ropes made of straw and grasses. If the bridges were made from rope, they had to be replaced about every two years, while if they were made from wood, they would not have to be replaced for about eight years.[27]
The construction of these bridges was accomplished by the help of many workers. For simple log bridges, the construction was done by placing a series of logs over projecting canes.[25] The construction of stone bridges was more complicated. The stone wall foundations for bridges were built with both rough and dressed stone. The masonry is extremely well fitted, with no evidence of any mortar being used to keep the stones in place.[28] Rather, they used a method of stone working which used simple tools, such as hammerstones, to pound the rocks in a way that the contours of the upper rock matched those of the rock below so that the seams fit perfectly without mortar.[29]
Machu Picchu itself was far off the beaten path,[30] and served as a royal estate populated by the ruling Inca and several hundred servants. It required regular infusions of goods and services from Cuzco and other parts of the empire. This is evidenced by the fact that there are no large government storage facilities at the site. A 1997 study concluded that the site's agricultural potential would not have been sufficient to support residents, even on a seasonal basis.[31]
The trail starts around Km 82 along the Urubamba River in a zone that the Peruvians call "Quechua": This zone is between 2300–3500m (7,539–11,473 ft) and has temperate, dry weather with average temperatures that range from 0 to 21°C (32 to 70°F). The rainy season is from December to March. The rest of the year is dry or even parched from May through September.
The true extent of the road network is not completely known, since the Spaniards, post conquest, either dug up the road completely in some areas, or allowed it to deteriorate and fall into ruin under iron-clad horses' hooves, or the metal wheels of ox-carts.[8]
Today, only 25 percent of this network is still visible, the rest having been destroyed by the construction of modern infrastructure. Different organizations such as UNESCO and IUCN have been working to protect the network in collaboration with the governments and communities of the 6 countries through which the Great Inca Road passes.
