United States Patent 3,205,600 DAY AND NIGHT TRANSPARENCY, TRANSLU- CENCY AND/GR PRINT AND DESPLAY FRAME THEREFQR Joseph H. Snyder, 43 W. 61st St, New York 23, N.Y. Filed Aug. 5, 1963, Ser. No. 299,703 1 Claim. (Cl. 40152.2)
This invention relates generally to photographic display devices and more particularly to a day and night translucency, transparency and/ or picture prints and display frames therefor.
A principal object of the invention is to provide a day and night picture translucency, transparency and/or picture print frames therefor, that has the property of a print when viewed by reflected light and of a translucency by transmitted light and is effective for use in high light surrounding locations which would normally tend to block up a standard transparency.
Another object is to provide a picture translucency, transparency and/ or print that has its own uniform diffusion material of the proper density built into the base material and needs no background diffusion sheeting for installation.
Another object is to provide a picture translucency, transparency, and/ or print that is protected with a coating of flame retarding substance, and that has a high degree of permanence.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a picture frame or holder construction formed from blanks of sheet material that are quickly and readily folded along the scored lines thereof to form an attractive picture frame construction.
An important object of the present invention is to provide a picture frame or holder construction-forming blanks composed of rectangular or strip body portions, the ends and sides of one which blanks are folded into channels forming an outer frame member, and the ends and sides of the other blanks are folded into flanges providing a picture-supporting box-like member receivable in the channels whereby the frame member is retained in its desired form.
A further object of the invention is to provide a threedimensional folding picture frame construction that is formed blanks of foldable material, such as cardboard, and which include side and end portions that are substantially triangular in cross section and having inwardly and rearwardly inclined walls that tend to direct a persons vision to a picture held by the frame construction behind the side and end portions and that tend to create an impression of depth.
Specific objects of the invention are to provide a picture-displaying frame or holder construction that can be assembled easily from lightweight, low-cost sheet material, and that has at least one light source therein so that the picture may be viewed at night as well as during daylight hours.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide a folding picture frame of this character that is simple and practical in construction, strong and reliable in use, light in weight, inexpensive to manufacture and otherwise well adapted for the purposes for which the same is intended.
According to one embodiment of the invention, the picture frame or holder construction comprises broadly a flanged closure and light-diffusing plate constituting a box-like member to support a photograph or picture, a rectangular-shaped strip serving as a backing for a photograph and illuminating apparatus supported on the flanged closure plate. Encompassing the flanged closure plate and backing is an open framework structure of sheet 3,205,600 Patented Sept. 14, 1965 "ice material. A metal hanger is removably mounted on the backing plate for suspending the display device from a support.

Referring in detail to the various views of the drawings wherein similar parts are indicated by similar reference numerals, in FIG. 10 a picture frame or holder construction embodying my invention is shown and designated generally by the numeral 10. The frame or holder construction 10 comprises broadly an outer framework structure 12, an inner flanged backing plate 14 and picture illuminating apparatus supported on the flanges of the backing plate as indicated generally at 16.
The outer framework structure 12 is rectangular in configuration and is formed of sheet material, such as cardboard, the blank strip from which the structure is formed being shown in FIG. 7. A number of tabs are formed along one long edge of the blank strip in spaced relationship. The outermost tabs 18, 18, at one end, the top end as viewed in FIG. 7, are spaced remotely from each other. At the other end, a pair of closely spaced tabs 17 (only one being shown) is formed. A closely spaced pair of tabs 21, 21 are formed adjacent the inner tab 18, and a widely spaced pair of tabs 23 are formed (only one being shown) adjacent the innermost tab 17. A number of pairs of closed slots 19, 20, 25 and 29 are formed along the other long edge opposite the tabs 18, 21, 23, 17, respectively.
A score line 22 is formed in the blank strip lengthwise thereof and closely spaced inwardly of the tabs. Another score line 24 is formed in the blank strip lengthwise thereof and closely spaced outwardly of the closed slots 20. A third score line 26 is formed substantially centrally of the blank strip and lengthwise thereof, and a fourth score line 28 is formed lengthwise of the blank midway 3 between the second and third score lines 26 and 24, respectively.
A transverse score line 30 is formed remote from one end of the blank and a similar score line 32 is formed remote from the other end of the blank, and a third similar transverse score line 34 is formed intermediate the lines 30 and 32. Along each transverse line, at one side of the blank, the side remote from the tabs 18, a diamondshaped opening 36 is formed. Each opening 36 is formed with a notch 38 forming a continuation of its inner corner, the notch pointing to the score line.
A score line 40 extends from the outer corner of each opening 36 as viewed in FIG. 7 to the adjacent long edge and a score line 42 extends from the pointed end of the notch to each of the other corners of each opening 36. Another score line 44 extends from one of said other corners to the adjacent long edge.
Opposite each opening 36, closely spaced inwardly from the adjacent long edge of the blank, a smaller triangular-shaped opening 46 is formed, the apex of the opening pointing toward the score line and toward the I opposed notch. A score line 48 extends from the adjacent long edge to the center of the base of each triangular opening 46, and score lines 50, 50 extend parallel to line 48 to the ends of the base. Shallow end notches 52, 54 are formed in the ends of the blank strip adjacent one long edge thereof, the edge mounting the tabs, and a deep notch 56 is formed at one end adjacent the other long edge. Score lines 58 and 60 from the notches 52, 54 to the adjacent long edge form flaps 62, 64, respectively. A score line 66 extends from the end line 26 to the point of the notch 56 forming a triangular-shaped flap 68. A score line 70 from the point of the notch 56 to the line 24 forms a triangular-shaped flap 72. A score line 74 forming a continuation of score line 70 forms a flap 76. A score line 78 at the other end of the blank strip extends from the notch 54 to line 26 and forms a flap 80.
Referring to FIGS. 4 and 8, the flanged closure plate 14 is rectangular in configuration and is formed of sheet material such as cardboard, the rectangular blank from which the member is formed being shown in FIG. 3. On its long edges, inwardly of the ends, the blank is formed with opposed tabs 82, and outwardly of the tabs but closely spaced inwardly from the ends opposed notches 84 are cut in the blank. A score line 86 is formed from end to end of the blank inwardly of each long edge and inwardly of each score line 86 there is another score line 88 from end to end of the blank, the spacing between the long edges and lines 86 being similar to the spacing between the lines 86 and 88. A transverse score line 90 extends across the blank at each end from notch to notch at the respective end. The lines 90 intersect the score lines 86 and 88. A closed slot 94 is formed opposite each tab 82 along each score line 88. Pairs of small holes 96 are formed in the blank at diagonally op posite corners outwardly of the transverse score lines 90 and notches 84, and pairs of similar holes 98 are formed closely spaced inwardly of the score lines 90 and notches 84. The material of the blank is instruck at one end thereof to form spaced slots 100, 100 and at points in line with one of said slots to form an intermediate slot 102 and a lower slot 104.
In assembling the outer frame structure 12 shown in FIG. 6, the elongated blank strip shown in FIG. 7 is folded along the lines 22, 24, 26, 28. The tabs are inserted into their respective opposite slots and interlocked therewith, thereby forming tubular side walls 106, 106 and tubular end walls 108 and 110, with the flaps 112 defined by the lines 26 and 28 slanting inwardly, and the flaps 114 defined by the line 22 and adjacent long edge of the blank strip serving as inner straight wall portions 116. The blank strip is then bent along the transverse lines 30, 32, 34 whereby the walls are brought into intimate end contact, the openings 36, notches 38, openings 46, score lines 40, 42, 48, 50, 50 permitting this operation.
which shows the device in cross section.
In assembling the flanged backing plate 14 shown in FIGS. 4 and 8, the blank shown in FIG. 3 is folded along the lines 86, 88 and the tabs 82 inserted into the slots 94 thereby forming the double-walled side flanges 112'. The blank is then folded along the transverse lines 90, 90 and the corner flaps 115, 116' defined by the lines 86, 88, 90 are folded and tucked inside the ends of the double- Walled side, flanges, thereby forming the end flanges 118, 120.
The apparatus 16 for illuminating the display device is supported on the side flanges 110, 112 of the backing plate and includes an electrical socket 122 at one end of flange 112' and an electrical socket 124 at the other end of flange 110. The sockets are secured by screws 125 and have the necessary terminals for contacting the terminal-s of lamps 126 plugged therein. The socket 124 is electrically connected to a source of electric motive power by means of a cable 128 having a plug 130 for insertion into such source, such as a house supply. The sockets are electrically connected by a cable 132. A bail-shaped rod 134 is provided for suspending the display device from a support. The rod 134 is formed with hooks 136 on the free ends of the legs 138 thereof. The legs are inserted through the slots 100, 100 and the books 136 removably hooked over the edge walls of one end of the slots thereby positioning the bight portion 140 of the rod against the material of the plate body.
In assembling the display device 10, while the frame structure 12 is partly assembled as shown in FIG. 6, the flanged closure plate 14 with the illuminating apparatus 16 and the supporting rod 134 mounted thereon is positioned inside the frame structure with the end flange 120 resting on the inner straight wall portion 116 of the bottom wall 110 of the frame structure. The end wall 108 is then secured to the side wall 106 of the frame structure by infolding the flaps 62, 68, '72 and 76, the slots 52 and 56 permitting this operation. The flap 80 on the end of end wall 108 is then bent inwardly to interlock with the adjacent side wall 106 and flaps.
An important feature of the present invention is a novel photograph or picture 144 used in the frame construction. This photograph or picture 144 is formed from an emulsion produced by a modified dye transfer process and marketed under the trade name Du Pont Cronar. This substance is stable and has great strength and is easily handled. It is characterized by color stability and levels of color saturation and brilliance can be achieved not usually possible in a three-layer film emulsion. When viewed in reflected light, the picture is a print and when viewed by artificial light the picture is a translucency. The comblnation of these two characteristics make the picture effective for use in high light surrounding locatrons which would normally tend to block up a standard transparency. This picture has its own uniform diffusion materlal of the proper density built into the base material of the picture so that no diffusion sheeting is required for installation. The picture is protected by a transparent coating or film 145 of flame retarding substance.
The photograph or picture 144 on a translucent sheet is placed flatwise against a rectangular-shaped flat strip 146 of cardboard which is pressed against the edges of the flanges 110', 112', 118, 120 of the plate 14 and serves as a backing plate for the photograph or picture. The strip may have opposed notches 148 to facilitate removal thereof. The picture is disposed outwardly of the lamps 126.
At night or at other periods of darkness, the picture 144 can be readily illuminated by inserting the plug 130 into the socket of an available supply of electric motive force such as the house supply.
It Will be noted that the display device 10 has substantial depth as can better be seen by referring to FIG. 2 The picture frame or holder structure 12 being angularly inclined creates a further impression of depth.
While cardboard has been illustrated and described as the material of the display 10, it will be understood that a suitable and desirable material for such device is two plies of moisture-resistant smooth-surfaced cardboard having corrugated paper therebetween. The moisture resistance quality may be provided by covering or treating the smooth-surfaced cardboard with an adhesive plasticlike or wax-like compound. For example, a spray-on wax or the like may be used. Advantageously, the use of such plastics, waxes or lacquers prevent or inhibit warping of the flanged closure plate 14. For a sturdier construction, a metallic substance such as aluminum, or suitable thickness, may be used.
The invention also contemplates a two or more faced frame or holder construction of various shapes for holding pictures at the front and rear thereof as shown in FIG. 11 and indicated at The frame or holder 10 is similar to the frame or holder 10 except that in place of the backing plate 14, a rectangular-shaped flat strip 146 similar to strip 146 is pressed against the flanges and serves as a backing plate for a photograph or picture. The picture is disposed outwardly of the lamps 126. The side walls 106 are wider than the side Walls 106, and taper inwardly at the rear.
Referring now to the modified embodiment of the invention shown in FIGS. 12 to 16, inclusive, in this form of picture frame or holder construction 10", the outer framework structure 12" is substantially similar to the structure 12 of FIG. 1. However, an opening 150 is formed in the end wall 108" thereof.
The inner flanged backing plate 14" is hinged to one long rear edge of the outer framework structure 12" by means of a tape 152 pasted along the adjacent long edges of the plate and framework structure. Plate 14 is also provided with circular air vent holes 154 and 155 midway the height thereof at its sides, and with air vent slots 156 at the top and bottom thereof.
A light diffusing sheet 158 of cardboard is positioned on the inner surface of the backing plate at the bottom thereof. Sheet 158 is bent at its longitudinal center as indicated at 160 forming an upper section 162 and a lower section 164. The plate is secured along its long edges to the back plate by adhesive or the like. The top section 162 is inclined downwardly and outwardly and the lower section 164 is curved upwardly. The inner surface of the backing plate 14" as well as its flanges 112" is coated with tin foil as indicated at 166 and the outer surface of the sheet 158 of cardboard is similarly coated with tin foil as indicated at 168.
When the flanged backing plate 14" is in closed condition as shown in FIGS. 12, 15 and 16, the inner edges of the flanges 112" engage the backing plate 146 thereby pressing the edges of the photograph or picture 144" against the inner periphery of the outer framework structure 12".
In use, the picture frame or holder construction 10" is placed near a source of light, such as a window, or an electric bulb, whereby the light will penetrate through the opening 150 in the end wall 108" of the outer framework structure 12" and the construction will in effect steal light and the photograph or picture 144" will be seen as a translucency.
The vent holes 154 and 155 and slots 156 together with the top opening 150 will ventilate the interior of the picture frame construction so that the picture or photograph 6 144 will not become dehydrated. The hole 154 on the side opposite the hinge serves as a handle for manipulating the flanged backing plate 14".
The invention also contemplates mounting the frame or holder construction on a post suported on a base, and the frame or holder rotatably supported on the post.
The invention also contemplates embodying a sound device in the frame or holder for entertainment purposes.
It will be understood that the configuration of the picture frame construction might be square or any other desirable geometrical shape instead of being rectangular as shown.
While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise constructions herein disclosed and that various changes and modifications may be made within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent A picture frame construction formed from a rectangular blank of a cardboard having notched corners and fold lines extending parallel to the sides thereof and to the ends thereof, in order to provide a rectangular closure plate with side and end flanges, a rectangular-shaped strip supported on the flanges providing a backing for a picture, an elongated rectangular-shaped strip of cardboard having longitudinally disposed fold lines extending parallel to the sides thereof and extending transversely of the strip to form hollow tubular portions, said strip havings tabs along one long edge thereof, said strip having spaced slots adjacent the other long edge thereof opposed to said tabs, for interlocking the edges of said tubular portions, said tubular portions bendable along said transverse lines forming side and end walls constituted by said tubular portions overlying said closure plate and side and end flanges and rectangular picture supporting strip, a flap on the end of one of the tubular end walls for interlocking said end Wall to the adjacent side walls, said rectangular picture backing strip having opposed notches to facilitate removal thereof, said elongated strip having openings at the ends of the transverse fold lines to facilitate bending of the tubular portions, said side and end walls having inwardly slanting portions imparting an impression of depth to the picture frame construction, and electrical lighting equipment supported on the side flanges outwardly of the central backing plate, said equipment including electrical sockets on the side flanges, lamps removably mounted in said sockets, a conductor connecting said sockets, and a cable and plug unit electrically connected to one of said sockets, said closure plate having spaced vent holes and upper and lower vent slots for ventilating the interior of the construction.

WW2 Helicopters
Is there a way to have use of Helicopters in ww2? How might this aircraft effect the war?
Helicopters had been used in WWII in Burma. They would have been mightlity useful on Eastern Front too (courier duty and all sorts of insurgency/counterinsurgency operations in forests). Allied Navies could have used it for ASW. As far as Apache-type attack helicopter is concerned, the answer is "no".
There was a scene in some WW2 adventure film (possibly Where Eagles Dare) in which a Nazi officer arrived at a fortress in a helicopter.
How likely was that?
History will remember Sauron as a middle of the road evil wizard but a really top notch jeweller.
Please visit http://fenchester.myminicity.com/
the germans DID use helicopters on the eastern front. they were mostly for pilot recovery. it was planned to rescue mussolini in 1943 in one but it broke down at the last minute
If memory serves, the Imperial Japanese Army deployed helicopters and/or autogyros in an anti-submarine role from escort carriers it built, manned, and operated.
If that isn't an indication of how screwed up the Japanese war effort was, nothing is.
P.S. The KM briefly experimented with an autogyro towed by U-boats as a convoy spotter.
If you mean that helo development in 44/45 was at OTL's Korean war level, then it probably would have been useful for medivac and recon; probably changing some tactical engagements a bit and saving more than a few lives that were otherwise lost in the final years of the war.
On the other hand, if you have helos of the caliber of the Sikorsky H-19, the Piasecki H-21s and H-25s and the OH-23, if their prosepective uses are recognized early enough and you get a few creative senior officers willing to try and adapt their strategies and tactics around the new technology, it could radically alter major operations like Overlord, Market Garden, not to mention the potential impact they could have in the Pacific during those two years.
Would they neccessarily shorten the war?
By a little bit, I would imagine, unless heliborne assault troops and air mobile infantry totally breaks the Germans in Market Garden, in which case the war in Europe, may come to a crashing halt as the collapse of the western front would force the elimination of Hitler and anyone else who may replace him who is unwilling to immediately sue for peace.
Butterfly off of that may end up a seperate peace with the west; 1944's an election year and if Hitler's dead, the Nazis are out and Germany's suing for peace, along with the pressure of the Pacific war, Roosevelt has to be flexible; unconditional surrender only works against a foe who won't give up. If the Germans have disposed of Hitler and the Nazis and are begging for peace, Roosevelt would be pushing for "unconditional surrender" at his own peril; people with sons, brothers and fathers in the field will find a president and congress that will end the war in Europe the fastest so as to turn the full war effort towards what's viewed, by and large by the people as "America's War" and end that as soon as possible as well.
The further butterflies off of that are possibly Hueys in Korea; (UH-1s and perhaps a more rudimentary version of the AH-1), CH-37s and H-34s. Basically, a number of Vietnam era helos in Korea. How those impact that conflict I can't say. The advance north of the UN forces could be so rapid that the North Koreans are encircled before they reach the Yalu and the Chinese never get the chance to enter the war. Or maybe the Chinese jump in sooner and things kinda spiral out of control from there; China in OTL at least had the pretext of a supposed UN invasion as an excuse to enter the war, if the North is nowhere near the Yalu and it's forces are collapsing/capitulating to UN forces and they still enter the war...things could get ugly.
To say the least, an acceleration of helo development could have a major impact on the second World War's conclusion and the course of the Korean War, not to mention the resultant changes each would have on the early Cold War geo-political dispositions of both east and west.
Helicopters were used as spotters, and I think the Japanese tried to use helicopters in an anti-submarine role.
A world where the Dutch instead of the English dominated the world's oceans from the 17th Century onward.
Flettner KOLIBRI (Hummingbird)
Turbine engines are needed for serious, game-changing, helicopter use in WWII.
There's the rub--if such engines exist in that war then they're most likely being directed towards other aircraft production, not an untested technology like helicopters.
(Though I still like autogiros/gyroplanes for a non-hovering VTOL craft in WWII. They're easier to popularise in the interwar period, and the lack of strong engines isn't such a safety issue with an aircraft that auto-rotates.)
"You are a blithering collection of wannabe Wikipedia philosophers... [displaying] a fundamental disregard of history and human nature"--Chris Kluwe
Let me strongly ditto that.
While having a gyroplane developed in the interwar period for the ground support role would be a great stretch, I can easily see the same technology being developed and used afloat.
Unlike seaplanes, gyros wouldn't require a catapult for launch or a crane for recovery. They may not have the speed or range of a seaplane, but their maneuverability and other attributes would make them excellent for scouting, ASW work, and gunnery direction. More ships could carry them too.
With gyros available, the Hurricane-carrying MACs of north Atlantic convoy fame would have been more capable and less of a waste.
H-34 helos didn't have turbines either. And they were very reliable - the Marines early in Vietnam preferred them to the Huey.
Focke Achgelis Fa 223
Focke Achgelis Fa 223 was used in WW 2 about 20 were made. First used in 1940. Could carry a payload of 1000kg. Allied air raids kept the production levels low. But if built in large numbers would probably have made a difference.

The Germans type certified the Fa 61 helicopter in 1936 and could have used them from the start of the war. This helicopter was just a Fw-44 trainer plane with the wings removed and steel structure supporting a transmittions and 3 x 7m long copter blades. It could do over 100kph with 2 personnel for observing and dropping ordnance. Mass production was possible from the late 1930s on. In the late 1930s a contract was tendered with a European company for 40 x Cierva C30 autogyros but no one in the Wehrmacht had a role for them, so they were left to rought and none were operational by war time , although 20-25 were captured from the French. I suspect that had they known they would be in a shooting war by 1940 they might have paid them more than a passing interest. In any event the Storch was just as good in short take off and landing with much better endurance and speed. Mind you the fiancing applied to purchasing the C-30 could have instead funded converting Fw-44 into Fa-61 , and could have netted them couple hundred for naval usage by war time. Since the navy was abismally short of scout aircraft, they could have filled this need and since they were about the same size as the Fl-282 , they could likely operate from the same platforms.
Admiral Raeder asked for contract tenders for an ASW/Scout Helicopter for the KM in 1938, that lead to the Fl-265 in 1940/41 and it was trialed on navy Kreuzer in 1941/42. This then led to the improved Fl-282 in 1942 , which was trialed in 1943. Steven Coates [Helicopters of the Third Reich] reports that 24 were built and operated in the Baltic & Med on convoy escort role . It was used in rough weather off a converted tender ship with a winch to launch and recover in rough seas and was operated off a V Boot. Its been reported that Uboats could be detected to a depth of 150 feet in clear weather conditions. The Americans tested this model after the war and found that it could be operated for over a hundred hours, without maintenance.Reportedly after the Scheer first sortie showed it only used its seaplane 28 days out of 150, it was suggested that Helicopters be operated instead. A study of the hanger space showed that 10 Fl-282 could be packed away in each hanger in place of each sea plane.
A decision was made to mass produce 1000 of these Fl-282 helicopter but the factory was bombed by the RAF in 1942 and when it was rebuilt , the priority was to build more Me-109 , so the Helicopter was passed over. Finally in the dieing months of the war the Fa 223 was put into mass production with ~ 50 built in 1945 and work began on another 40 when the war ended and the company was gearing up for production order of 300. There is a report some were that a Fa-223 was operated for a month flying about 90 missions supporting a mountain infantry division, transporting mountain guns crew and ammo up mountains.
There was a tiny autogyro Fa-330 built for Uboat usage to extend searching capability. A design was perfected using a teather from a fast moving surfaced Uboat mid war , and couple hundred were built in 1943/44. However since the U boat war had turned against the fleet by that time, they were rearly ever used. At the end of the war it was proposed to mount a small 60 hp motor on this autogyro, turning it into a ultra light helicopter that could be mounted on just about any warship.

I don't think Korea was radically changed by helicopter use.
"You are a blithering collection of wannabe Wikipedia philosophers... [displaying] a fundamental disregard of history and human nature"--Chris Kluwe
The first helicopter assault is Suez, and yes, is in piston-engined Bristol Sycamores. Turbine-engined helicopters in Vietnam were the basis of most of the MACV strategy. Vietnam is more significant than Suez is for warfare.
Helicopters in Korea are a supporting vehicle, not one used for tactical assaults or major transport duties. The helicopters are piston-engined. Korean warfare is not dominated by these aircraft.
ATL WWII warfare being driven by helicopters of equivalent tech to OTL Korea? I don't know.
I'm just repeating a commonly held belief that turbine engines greatly assisted in the creation of airmobile warfare.
"You are a blithering collection of wannabe Wikipedia philosophers... [displaying] a fundamental disregard of history and human nature"--Chris Kluwe
They could be game changers dispite not shooting at people or landed huge amounts of troops. The moral boost delivered by the chance of a decent chance of getting to an hospital, quiclky, is big.
Mi-4 and S-56 were both able to transport jeeps internally carrying tank killing recoilless rifles. By the second half of the 50s when enough were built they had changed military doctrine forever. Turboshafts were more efficient and eventually replaced piston engines, but helicopters did not require them to be viable. Just because there was no glamous big war in the late 50s with movies made about the use of helicopters didn't mean they weren't important.

western union
Western Union
They aren't about telegrams anymore. They've stopped sending telegrams in order to focus on money transfers, particularly through remittances: the money that U.S. residents send back to their home countries. A large share of remittances are sent by illegal aliens and thus the more illegal immigration (or immigration in general), the more money Western Union makes. Because of that, Western Union strongly supports at least mass immigration if not explicitly supporting illegal immigration.
See 2004's "The Fastest Way To [profit from illegal immigration]" for an introduction, and note that even biased illegal immigration supporters like the Arizona Republic and the New York Times have come close to doing exposes on Western Union's borderline activities.
Western Union was formerly part of the First Data Corporation, but was spun-off into an independent company on October 2, 2006 ( link).

First Data Immigration Reform panel - 10/03/07
First Data Corporation - the current or former parent company of Western Union - conducted several immigration "reform" panels around the country in 2004. The [[July 22, 2004]] version was held in Denver and is described here.
That page describes how a fight broke out, which appears to have been initiated by an illegal immigration supporter.

A group of about 30 conservatives have sent an open letter to the rest demanding that they band together and support the Bush/Kennedy/Kyl massive illegal alien amnesty bill. The letter itself is full of half-truths, such as their claim that "it will make sure that the law is enforced first, before any other provisions of the legislation take effect".

Rights group sues Ariz. to stop wire transfer seizures - 10/19/06
Capitol Media Services/Howard Fischer/[[October 19, 2006]]/ link
An immigrant rights group wants a federal judge to block Arizona from using a tactic Attorney General Terry Goddard says is necessary to block human- and drug-smuggling rings.
Legal papers filed in U.S. District Court contend warrants issued by Goddard's office to seize wire transfers of $500 or more violate federal constitutional requirements that government must have probable cause before taking the money.
Suit filed over wire transfers - 10/19/06

ICIRR in suit against Terry Goddard over Western Union wire transfers - 10/19/06
The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights ("ICIRR") is "sponsoring" a class action lawsuit against Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard over that state's program that tries to stop human smuggling by seizing Western Union wire transfers that meet certain criteria. ICIRR is "sponsoring" three nobody plaintiffs - at least one of whom is a legal resident - who had money seized and couldn't get it back because they couldn't prove that the transfers were legitimate. The attorney is Matt Piers; another attorney who may have just filed the papers is Tim Eckstein (azstar).
As detailed at the first link, ICIRR was one of the organizers of the big March 10 Chicago illegal immigration rally as well as of the one on May 1. And, after the first rally, their president Juan Salgado spoke at Los Pinos, the Mexican White House. They were also involved in the smear against Jim Oberweis. Salgado was also appointed to a state commission by Chicago governor Rod Blagojevich. Another group involved in the suit is the Instituto del Progreso Latino, whose Executive Director is Juan Salgado.
But, wait, there's more:
[ICIRR Executive Director Josh] Hoyt acknowledged his organization has received grants in the past from Western Union, and confirmed that some of the information for the lawsuit came from the company. But he said the interest of his group is solely to protect the rights of individuals.
It's like a giant spider's web of sleaze, isn't it? From this:
...Goddard said the company also sent letters to clients, asking those who had funds seized to contact Instituto del Progreso Latino... "They solicited people" for the federal lawsuit, Goddard said. "It's Western Union trying to protect their profits." ...Sherry Johnson, corporate director of media relations for Western Union, said in an e-mail that "while we do have a long-standing relationship with this group, I can assure you that this is a completely independent action by the ICIRR."
As for the POV of "our" representatives, State Rep. Steve Gallardo - naturally a Democrat - nuances his way into supporting illegal immigration (azstar):
"We should not just be using the $500 threshold," he said, but instead require proof of some sort of pattern or other evidence of criminal activity... Goddard said the state provides that proof to the judge who issues each of the damming warrants... Gallardo also said the state's offer to refund funds improperly taken is insufficient because it requires people to go to a government office to prove their ownership in order to get their money back... "That's intimidating for those folks who perhaps may be here undocumented," he said, and simply want to send money home to relatives.
As for Matt Piers, he appears to be a civil rights-style attorney from Chicago. In 2000 or so he was on the other side: suing money transfer companies over hidden fees. He defended the Benevolence International Foundation on a terrorism-related charge. Daniel Drezner appeared on a TV show with him in relation to that. He was involved in another terrorism-related case in the late 90s (ncarl.org/newsletter2004.html). And, in 2001 he was apparently planning to sue both the U.S. and Mexico over monies due Bracero Program workers that had disappeared.
On a slightly related note, see "Maricopa County Attorney: Mexico trying to block Arizona law".
Jill Capuzzo/NYT: corruption, illegal activity are good for Riverside, New Jersey - 07/27/06
Jill Capuzzo of the New York Times offers a ludicrously transparent article in support of illegal immigration: "Town Battling Illegal Immigration Is Emptier Now".
Don't you feel sad and all just by reading the headline? It continues. The lesson the NYT wants you to learn is that the best way for Riverside NJ to prosper is just to give a wink and a nod to illegal immigration. If they don't, cue the tumbleweeds.
Arizona Republic almost does expose on Western Union - 03/19/06
It's surprising because in a rare move for the AZ Republic it comes close to reporting the actual truth. They come close to implying that Western Union and their parent company First Data are profiting off illegal immigration, are encouraging illegal immigration, and are corrupting our political system.
...In recent years, Denver-based First Data has openly campaigned for immigration reform, which could legalize millions of undocumented workers, and has created a $10 million "Empowerment Fund" for the same purpose.In brief: First Data not only profits off illegal immigration, they encourage massive immigration. I'll leave it to the reader to determine whether what they do qualifies as encouraging illegal immigration. However, note that Proposition 200 was designed to fight illegal immigration, and First Data opposed it.
It has held seminars on migration law, published how-to guides for migrants, sponsored English classes, given money to a charity that helps Mexican women whose husbands are in the United States, and showered immigrant-sending communities with aid.
First Data has stepped up its political donations in recent years. It also "directly, actively" fought against Arizona's Proposition 200, a First Data official told the Mexican Senate in 2004.
...Those migrants send a torrent of money to their families. Mexicans in the United States alone sent home some $20 billion in 2005, up from $6.6 billion just five years ago.
The increase has been a windfall for wire-transfer companies. Western Union, which also owns the Vigo and Orlandi Valuta chains, saw its revenue nearly double from $2.3 billion in 2000 to $4.2 billion in 2005. It made $1.3 billion in profit last year.
"Their real key to success is the immigration from Third World to Second World and First World countries. That is the ultimate secret sauce," said Kartik Mehta, an analyst with FTN Midwest Securities.
...The company also sponsored the printing of 300,000 guides telling Salvadorans how to apply for the U.S. Temporary Protected Status program. The program gave legal residency to 248,000 migrants following two earthquakes in El Salvador in 2001.
In 2000 the company formed the First Data Western Union Foundation, which is funded by First Data, its employees and its agents in other countries.
The foundation has given out more than $16 million, funding everything from seminars on home buying for migrants in Broward County, Fla. to English classes at the Chicago and San Antonio campuses of the National Autonomous University of Mexico.
It gives money to a legal aid groups and organizations like the Massachusetts-based Immigrant Learning Center, which along with running English classes, produces studies "promoting immigrants as assets to America," according to one of its reports.
...Furthermore, some of the foundation's programs almost seem to reward migration, say some border-control advocates.
In the Mexican state of Oaxaca, the foundation gave $250,000 "to provide assistance to women living alone because their husbands are working in the United States," according to a foundation news release...
It also has pledged $1.25 million to the Mexican government's 4x1 Program in Zacatecas state. The program provides matching funds for each peso that migrants invest in small businesses in their hometowns...
Another foundation-funded program helps Mexican migrants go to U.S. universities "because they don't have the documents necessary to go to a college and pay tuition as international students," First Data's public relations director Mario Hernandez said during a forum in the Mexican Senate on Nov. 10, 2004.
The foundation made headlines by funding a 56-page booklet for migrants called "A Survival Guide for Newcomers to Colorado."
..."They're promoting whatever is going to enhance their bottom line, and if that means encouraging mass immigration, that's what they're going to do," said Mike McGarry, acting director of the Colorado Alliance for Immigration Reform, which has opposed First Data's advocacy efforts in its home state.
...During a panel discussion organized by the company at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., First Data's then-chief executive, Charlie Fote, announced the creation of a $10 million "Empowerment Fund" to push for an overhaul of U.S. immigration laws, though he gave few details of how the money would be used.
...Since then, First Data has held panel discussions around the country to campaign for immigration reform. The company also said it used its money to fight Arizona's Proposition 200, a measure passed in 2004 that bars illegal immigrants from receiving some state services.
"Our company directly, actively and with financial support, supported the business, political and community groups that opposed this proposition," Hernandez, the public relations director, told lawmakers during the 2004 forum at the Mexican Senate.
First Data also has stepped up its campaign donations. The company has spent $247,000 on federal elections since 2001, compared to $145,000 in the five years before that, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
A political action committee, First Data Employees for Responsible Government, has donated $128,000 since it was formed in 2000. And that's not counting hefty donations by individual executives. Fote and his wife, for example, gave $46,800 to 32 federal candidates between the beginning of 2000 and Fote's retirement in November.
Most of First Data's beneficiaries are members of the Senate and House committees on banking and financial services. Much of the money also has gone directly to the Republican and Democratic parties in the form of "soft money" donations.
Left out of the largesse: Republican Rep. Tom Tancredo, one of the most vocal immigration-control activists, who also happens to be First Data's hometown congressman. First Data, its PAC and many of its executives gave money to Joanna Conti, his Democratic opponent, in the 2004 election.
It is unclear if the $10 million Empowerment Fund has gone into campaign donations. First Data would not give The Republic details on how that money is being spent...
And, they then donate part of the money they've obtained from those engaging in illegal activity to politicians, including Democrats like Conti.
More on Raul Hinojosa of UCLA - 07/15/05
-- IMMIGRATION: The recently released UCLA study on the economic impact of the broad legalization of undocumented Mexican immigrants working in the United States is reported in today's Agence France-Presse, Copley News Service and Associated Press. Raul Hinojosa-Ojeda, director of UCLA's North American Integration and Development Center and author of the study, is quoted in each article.Unfortunately, none of those appear to be available online. And, Hinojosa was mentioned in Business Week's story about corporations profiting off illegal immigration:
AP: "Study favors legalization of undocumented workers"
AFP: "Legalizing undocumented workers has economic benefits for US"
CNS: "Legalization of immigrants could help economy, study says"
[Hinojosa's startup No Borders Inc.] offers debit-like cards on which immigrants can store cash, send money home, pay for video teleconferencing calls, and join medical discount plans. Going head-to-head with First Data Corp.'s Western Union Financial Services and other wire transfer services, No Borders plans to open 150 storefronts from Los Angeles to Georgia by September.So, the author of an academic study favoring legalizing illegal aliens is profiting off illegal immigration. That sure gives me a great deal of confidence in his research.
But, wait, there's more. Hinojosa was also on the one-sided panel at First Data's "immigration reform" confab where a fight broke out (see "The Denver Post's sloppy journalism" for recent news about that incident).
And, there's even more! He's also the brother of CNN correspondent Maria Hinojosa, who brought us the documentary "Immigrant Nation - Divided Country".
Isn't it interesting how all these supporters of massive illegal immigration are interlinked?
The Denver Post's sloppy journalism - 07/10/05
Last year a fight broke out during a one-sided immigration forum in Colorado. An anti-illegal immigration activist had attended the meeting and spoke out against the biased panel and the various statements they made. A pro-illegal immigration activist reportedly told her to shut up, and it degenerated into fisticuffs and torn clothing. The pro-illegal immigration activist, Julissa Molina-Soto, was arrested, tried, and eventually found not guilty. However, the other participant, Terry Graham, has brought a civil suit against her and the company that sponsored the forum. A description and pictures of the fight are here, the forum is described here>, Graham's site is here, and see this description of Polly Baca, one of Molina-Soto's defenders.
The sponsor of the forum was First Data, the parent company of Western Union. WU makes a handsome profit off sending remittances to Mexico. They've also created a $10 million Empowerment Fund to support "Latino" causes. And, they also oppose Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO) because of his opposition to illegal immigration.
With that out of the way, the Denver Post offers a profile of Molina-Soto entitled "Clash, acquittal stoke advocate's political fire". Suffice it to say that the profile practically elevates her to sainthood. And, it includes the following:
"I want justice and I did not get it in the criminal case," Graham said. She is soliciting funds on a website she runs to pay for her case against Soto. The website for the Stormfront White Nationalist Community also carries a solicitation for Graham.
I've seen some sleazy, pro-illegal immigration statements in news rags, but that ranks right up there. Does the Denver Post have any evidence that Graham is associated with the latter group, posted the solicitation, or even knows that it exists? I used google to search both sites. While I found at least one posting at the group's site asking people to send her money, I didn't find anything at Graham's site that would indicate a link from her to them.
Does the Denver Post know the definition of "yellow journalism" or of "guilt by association?" It barely needs mentioning that no responsible, professional editor should have let that one through.
Note that the article also seems to have a factual error, claiming that Graham was a member of the Colorado Alliance for Immigration Reform. Yet, that group says: "Neither the attacker or woman who was attacked were members of Colorado Alliance for Immigration Reform".
And, note that the Denver Post article is about someone whose race seems to rule everything she does. And, it was written by someone who is presumably of the same race as the subject. And, as described here, many of those who Molina-Soto associates with seem to be obsessed with their race.
This sleazy rag even has an ethics policy:
A strong sense of fair play must imbue our writing, accurately reflecting motives of sources. The tone and language of stories must be even-handed and avoid loaded phrasing.
Contact their editor, Gregory Moore, at gmoore *at* denverpost.com or (303) 820-1400 and suggest they read through their own policy a few times.
Tying up the loose ends on Colorado's guide for the illegal alien - 02/09/05
Colorado recently removed from its website a guide that gives tips for illegal aliens living in Colorado. Those involved in producing the guide included, to varying degrees: the Mexican government, the Colorado Department of Education, Colorado Gov. Owens, various "immigrant's rights" groups, and First Data/Western Union.
Rep. Tom Tancredo complained about the guide and caused it to be removed from Colorado's site. This, of course, caused the other side to fire up their race-baiting and strike back. From a group called ProgressNow (link):
Colorado Department of Education Vice-Chairman asks:
Does Gov. Owens Support Rep. Tancredo's anti-immigration/anti-Bush policy?
The same week that Rep. Tom Tancredo took his anti-immigration pledge on the road to New Hampshire, Governor Owens played lackey to Rep. Tom Tancredo, jumping to action when Rep. Tancredo demanded that a guide for immigrants be taken off the Colorado Department of Education's website. The Congressman demanded, and Gov. Owens did as he was told...
Coloradans, including Jared Polis, Vice-Chairman of the Colorado State Board of Education found the Governor's action unwarranted. "Governor Owens' action furthering Congressman Tancredo's far right agenda was completely inappropriate," stated Polis. "Tancredo's hateful venom is now affecting his Republican colleagues," Polis added.
Michael Huttner, Executive Director of ProgressNow.Org , said because of the Governor's actions concerning the website, Owens needs to clarify his stand: "Does Governor Bill Owens join Rep. Tancredo in his extremist views on closing American borders and using the military to enforce that closure? Does Gov. Owens support Rep. Tancredo's racist, anti-immigrant agenda? Does Gov. Owens really believe that Latino and other immigrants are 'coming across our borders to kill you and your children.'" [Footnote 2]...
...ProgressNow.Org Executive Director Michael Huttner calls for the Governor and the rest of Colorado Republicans to make their positions clear: Either they disavow Tancredo and what the Wall Street Journal Editorial board called his "exploit[ation of] the terror attacks to advance [his] anti-immigration agenda...." [Footnote 3] or their silence stands as tacit approval of Tancredo's extremist views...
2: Tancredo quoted in the Atlanta Journal Constitution 2/03/04
3: Wall Street Journal Editorial 3/18/02
First, let's put Tancredo's statement from Footnote 2 into its proper context:
Paper: Atlanta Journal-Constitution, The (GA)
Title: Panelists denounce illegal immigrants
Author: RICK BADIE
Date: February 3, 2004
Section: Gwinnett
Page: JJ2
..."If Republicans don't do something about the border, Republicans can't say we're doing all we can to protect you," U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo told a standing-room-only audience at Mount Vernon Baptist Church in Atlanta.
"They are looking for jobs, yes, but there are people coming into this country to kill you and your children. Maintaining the borders are essential to our survival."
Tancredo, a Colorado Republican, joined U.S. Rep. Nathan Deal of Gainesville and Rick Oltman, a field representative for the Federation for American Immigration Reform to talk about illegal immigration before about 300 people...
Obviously, his full quote shouldn't be shocking to anyone with any sense. Given ProgressNow's baseless smears and selective quoting, is there any reason to believe anything this organization says?
And, why would a supposedly "progressive" organization be on the same side of as issue as the Wall Street Journal, a paper that wants open borders in order to keep the price of labor as low as possible? The Wall Street Journal's goals certainly seem closer to feudalism than "progress." However, they and ProgressNow do share something in common: yellow journalism.
To tie all of this together, Colorado's guide for illegal aliens was produced by the Colorado State Board of Education, of which Jared Polis is the Vice-Chairman. Jared Polis is an internet m/billionaire who founded ProFlowers.com and BlueMountain.com, two sites that you might want to avoid. (Assuming pending further information that he's still involved with them). Polis apparently spent a great deal of money to gain his seat, and is trying to bring others with him.
For more information on him, see Polis's Eminem Fan Letter Embarrasses Democrats and Millionaires' Initiatives Fall With A Thud
There's apparently some connection between Polis, Huttner ("Executive Director of ProgressNow.Org"), and the Rocky Mountain Progressive Network. Polis appears to be a contributor to ProgressNow.org.

Thankfully, as can be seen above, showing the readers of ProgressNow that they're being misled should be particularly easy, akin to excercising with half-pound weights. They don't seem to have many facts on their side and are forced to simply call names.
As of now ProgressNow.org's blog accepts comments, so please visit their site and reacquaint their readers with the truth.
From this blurb:
Lawyer-about- town and political pundit Mike Huttner has a new gig.
He's left Foster, Graham, Huttner and Calisher, the law firm he helped form. Now he's running ProgressNow.org (formerly the Rocky Mountain Progressive Network), whose mission statement "is to be a strong, credible voice in advancing progressive solutions to critical community problems."
Huttner, who's been a bachelor forever (just ask his mom, Diane Huttner) also is getting married to Debbie Herz, a New York City attorney, and moving to Boulder.
From the longer article "It's Not Easy Being Green":
...To gain a larger national presence, its name has been changed [from the RMPN] to Progressnow.org; it's hired the technophile behind Howard Dean's much-lauded Internet campaign to launch the new electronic crusade; and executive director (and former Westword intern) Michael Huttner ditched his law firm to run the organization full-time. But the biggest change was moving into the network's new digs on the second floor of the Alliance Center, a hugely ambitious project in LoDo that will soon house 23 progressive-leaning nonprofits.
The $5.25 million center is operated under the umbrella of the Alliance for Sustainable Colorado, a nonprofit founded last year by John Powers. As a longtime boardmember of the Colorado Environmental Coalition...
...he took the first step by purchasing the historic Otero building, at 1536 Wynkoop Street, from the Tattered Cover Book Store and the Wynkoop Brewing Co.; half a dozen nonprofits had already set up shop there. That's not surprising, because the building was part of a project developed by Mayor John Hickenlooper and Tattered Cover owner Joyce Meskis...

Israel Folau hasn't played rugby union since high school but the 23-year-old Waratahs recruit has set himself the goal of playing for the Wallabies against the touring British Lions next season.
''A British Lions tour doesn't come around very often, so when it does it is a massive occasion, and for me, if I am involved in playing those games, it would be exciting,'' Folau said.
''It is definitely at the top of the list to want to play for your country but that comes afterwards, because I want to focus on playing good footy for the Waratahs first.''
If he does, Folau would become a dual international after representing Australia in league. It was footage of him playing State of Origin and for the Kangaroos that convinced Waratahs coach Michael Cheika he was the x-factor the team needs.
Still struggling to believe his luck after being approached three weeks ago when Folau was beginning to fear a deal with Parramatta would not eventuate, Cheika said the 23-year-old was likely to play fullback for the Waratahs next season.
''It sort of just happened by accident,'' Cheika said. ''I met him and got to speak to him a bit more about rugby in a bit more detail, and that was probably about the time things were starting to stall with Parramatta.
''We had one contract left [on the 2013 roster] so I had to make sure it was the right person and right addition to the team. This was all about making sure we had a player with x-factor and someone who could be a game breaker, and I felt he had the capability [to do] that.''
Cheika said he spoke with Folau four times and they discussed the Wallabies performances in Europe, while the coach also watched footage of the former Queensland and Australian winger in action before he switched to AFL two years ago.
''We started talking about who was doing what and I think he got a taste for it. Negotiations were pretty easy,'' Cheika said. ''There is no way I would bring someone into the group if he did not have the same values. I hadn't seen a lot of him because I was away [coaching in Europe] when he came on the scene and was successful in rugby league, so I dusted off a few tapes and he looked really good.''
While Folau doesn't start training with the Waratahs until Thursday, he believes adapting to the new code will be easier than AFL.
''I guess you could say rugby league and rugby union are similar games, whereas you can't compare it to AFL, which is a totally different game, so I would like to think the transition won't take as long as it did with the AFL,'' he said.
Folau said he would never have been in the position to choose rugby union if Parramatta had been able to deliver on his expectations when he secured a release from his contract with Greater Western Sydney..
However, the Eels had only $110,000 to spend under the salary cap and NRL salary cap auditor Ian Schubert insisted that Folau be valued at $400,000 - resulting in an offer of $350,000 that was dependent on another player agreeing to a release.
Schubert's assessment was changed last Wednesday to $250,000 but by then it was too late and a frustrated Folau said that he was impressed by how much easier negotiations with the Waratahs.
''It took a while for me to understand why the process was taking so long and that is why I started to talk to Michael [Cheika]. When I spoke to him everything fell into place and they got something done pretty quickly.
''Obviously, I came out so late and announced I was quitting AFL and at this time of the year most clubs didn't have much space in their cap so from my point of view I couldn't wait any longer and sit around. For my own security and future I had to move forward and get something done.''

In the old Soviet Union, they used to deal with dissidents by declaring them insane and shipping them off to mental hospitals. Modern tyrannies apparently use the tax code for the same purposes. Either way, it's clear that the state doesn't lack for ways to destroy your life if you annoy it enough.

Ah, the People's Republic. Taught you well we have!
does noone seem to notice they apparently have tortured this guy to max? if u compare video interviews before and after his arrest hes a completely different person. he talks different, his body language is different. hes a broken man. its incredible what they have done and the international community is not doing anything!
never mind the money, they completely brainwashed this guy. i doubt he ll ever go put on another major exhibition/show. doubt he ll ever to be able to leave the country again as well.
I remember this one, regarding the Cardiff Three, but not the followup and can't find any in a search.
