CONNECT SELECT a Wide Selection of Interesting and Trending Stories – Rip ‘Em, Read ‘Em & Post ‘Em! for THURSDAY, JULY 2Nd, 2020 CONNECT SELECT A wide selection of interesting and trending stories – rip ‘em, read ‘em & post ‘em! FOR THURSDAY, JULY 2nd, 2020 TODAY IS… I FORGOT DAY – For once, you have a great excuse to forget. The point of the day is to make amends for all the stuff that slipped your mind and made someone really, really angry at you. NATIONAL ANISETTE DAY– Raise a glass to the fancy liqueur made from aniseed. The herb-flavored drink is made for sipping, and is especially popular in Spain, Italy, France and Portugal. It’s also used for baking boozy cookies. WORLD UFO DAY – Are we alone? Plenty of people don’t think so. Today is World UFO Day, held to raise questions about UFOs' and to encourage governments to declassify their UFO files. How do you celebrate? The official website suggests watching UFO movies or talking with friends about the possibility of an alien life. It’s also the 73rd anniversary of the supposed UFO crash at Roswell, New Mexico (in 1947). WALMART’S 58TH ANNIVERSARY – They’re everywhere today, but the very first Walmart was opened on July 2nd, 1962 by Sam Walton (hence the name ‘Walmart’). There are more than 47-hundred Walmart stores in the US, and a total of 11,501 stores around the world. Kodiak, Alaska boasts the world’s most remote Walmart. 40th ANNIVERSARY OF ’AIRPLANE’ – Today marks 40 years since the release of the comedy ’Airplane!' The disaster-drama spoof starred Robert Hays, Julie Hagerty, Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Lorna Patterson. Surely, the film is still regarded as one of the funniest of all time. ‘And don’t call me Shirley’ BIRTHDAYS: LARRY DAVID, 73 – Seinfeld creator, Curb Your Enthusiasm star. Here’s hoping this birthday is ‘pretty, pretty, pretty good’. MARGOT ROBBIE, 30 – Actress. Star of ‘Wolf of Wall Street’, ‘I, Tonya’ and ‘Suicide Squad.’ LINDSAY LOHAN, 34 – Actress. She went from playing adorable twins on ‘The Parent Trap’ to Hollywood’s favorite hot mess. ASHLEY TISDALE, 35 – Actress. She was featured in more than 100 ads before getting her big break in ‘High School Musical.’ That’s showbiz, baby! ALEX MORGAN, 31 – Women’s Soccer player, 3-time World Cup winner, and Olympic Gold Medalist (2012). GOOOOAL! She currently plays for the Orlando Pride of the National Women’s Soccer League. TRENDING/ODD: SNOW IN THE WEST! (00:18) While the central US sweats through a hundred-degree heatwave, out west – they’ve got snow…because weird things happen in 2020! Idaho, Utah, Montana and Wyoming are looking more like Christmas than Independence Day. They got upwards of 6 inches of snow. Outside of Salt Lake City, they recorded their first June/July snowstorm ever! WORLD’S LARGEST SCOREBOARD GOES UP IN LA (00:22) Everything might be bigger Texas, except for the scoreboards. The new NFL stadium in Los Angeles now has the biggest video screen in pro sports: it's a massive 360-foot, double-sided 4K scoreboard that's 3-times the size of the video screen the Dallas Cowboys made history with. It's so big, it's longer than the actual field! The new SoFi stadium will host both the Rams and Chargers next season. CALIFORNIA IS LOCKING DOWN AGAIN (00:20) California is starting to close down again. The governor has ordered restaurants and bars in 19 counties to shut down, including Los Angeles and Sacramento. The order also includes movie theaters, bowling alleys and arcades. Restaurants can still operate, but only for take-out, delivery and outdoor dining. They'll reconsider RE-reopening in 3 weeks. NHL HUB CITIES CHOSEN? (00:23) There's word the NHL has chosen Toronto and Edmonton as its hub cities for when they resume playoffs next month. That's IF they resume. The NHL says 10 percent of their players have already tested positive for COVID, and now that training camps are about to start, they worry more could become infected. Las Vegas was supposed to be one of the hub cities, but that was before a recent COVID outbreak there. COUNT YOUR PENNIES; AMERICA HAS A COIN SHORTAGE (00:23) Next time you pay cash, better bring exact change, because America's experiencing a coin shortage. The US Federal Reserve says the pandemic has really messed with their ability to make coins, and now pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters are becoming more scarce. The government has been limiting how many coins they've been sending to banks, and that's left a lot of retailers short changed, so to speak. KELLYANNE CONWAY'S DAUGHTER ANTI-TRUMP ON TIKTOK (00:21) TikTok, the kids love it and parents grumble. Take Kellyanne Conway. Her daughter is quite vocal in her opposition to President Trump on her TikTok, and boy have people noticed. Claudia is only 15 and has over 40-thousand followers. She posts pro-Black Lives Matter videos too. Claudia says she and her mom get into it over politics but still have a "best friend" relationship. NURSE IN WEDDING DRESS HELPS AT ACCIDENT SCENE (00:22) Don't need to be in scrubs to be a nurse. In fact, a bride in her wedding dress jumped into action after a bad car crash near her home in Grove Heights, Minnesota. She held in her arms a woman with a leg injury. The bride's new hubby snapped photos and it's gone viral. The young wife, a recent nursing school graduate, says she had been lacking confidence in her abilities up until that moment. CRIME NYPD LOSES A BILLION IN FUNDING (00:24) Those "defund the police" chants were heard loud and clear in New York City. What will the Big Apple look like with a billion dollars cut from police funding? We're about to find out. With the coronavirus, New York isn't the money maker it once was and the city council cut budgets. Plans to hire 16-hundred new NYPD officers have been cancelled. There will also be a shift away from the police monitoring the homeless and school safety. LOS ANGELES TO USE UNARMED RESPONDERS INSTEAD OF POLICE (00:16) In Los Angeles, the Black Lives Matter movement has been vocal about police tactics. Now in L-A, many 911 calls will be diverted to a new crisis response team. Calls about the homeless, mentally ill, or non-violent drug cases will be referred to unarmed trained responders instead of cops. WOMEN GET MILLIONS IN WEINSTEIN SETTLEMENT (00:27) A massive 19-million dollar settlement has been reached for the women who say they were sexually assaulted by Harvey Weinstein. The deal lets women make claims of between 75-hundred and 750- thousand dollars. Weinstein does not have to admit to anything, but the women can now speak openly. They've been released from non-disclosure agreements. The former Hollywood producer was convicted earlier this year of rape and sexual assault against two women. He got just over 20 years in prison. HEALTH/SCIENCE/TECHNOLOGY STUDY: THE BEST FABRIC FOR MAKING YOUR OWN MASK (00:25) Scientists have figured out the best fabric to use if you're making your own face mask, and your grandma's gonna love it! A study published in the journal of Physics of Fluids finds that a fitted, sewn mask made from two layers of quilting fabric is best at filtering droplets. The worst one they tested was a plain-old bandana. They think the quilted fabric catches germs better because of its two-ply ridges. Now, go raid nana's quilting drawer! US SCOOPS UP WORLD’S SUPPLY OF COVID DRUG (00:21) The US has just bought up the world's supply of a promising COVID drug…and that's got the rest of the world hating us for it! The federal government scooped up all the available Remdesivir (rem- DEZ-eh-veer), with plans to dole it out to Americans only. The World Health Organization says that's not cool, since other countries are suffering too and now can't get their hands on any more of it. YOUR MONEY/SHOPPING COSTCO STOPS MAKING POPULAR HALF-SHEET CAKES (00:15) Now that big gatherings have been banned, Costco has quietly stopped selling their popular half- sheet cakes. They're a top seller for birthday and office parties. (Wait... they're not single-serve?). Costco has replaced them with a 10-inch round cake that can safely be shared with a few people…. Or not. MCDONALD’S PAUSES REOPENING U.S. EAT-IN SERVICE (00:18) It's gonna be a while before you can eat-in at a McDonald's. The chain isn't 'lovin' the current spike in COVID cases across America, so McDonald's decided to hold off on re-opening dine-in service at all of its U.S. locations. They'll reconsider in about 3 weeks. Until then, you'll have to settle for drive- thru or take out. IPHONE 12 MIGHT NOT COME WITH A POWER ADAPTER (00:20) If you're saving up for the new iPhone 12 better save a little extra. Not only is Apple considering ditching the free earbuds that have come with every iPhone, but now there's talk they'll stop including chargers too. The thinking is that everyone's already got one, so why bother. It also gets more iPhone users to consider buying a wireless charger. BIGGEST PIZZA HUT CHAIN FILES FOR BANKRUPTCY (00:25) Pizza Hut, it's the pizza you crave at the airport or completely drunk.

  • Elizabeth Marianne Ploger January 24, 1934 - October 11, 2019
    Elizabeth Marianne Ploger January 24, 1934 - October 11, 2019 Elizabeth Marianne Ploger was born on January 24, 1934 at St. Mary’s hospital in Hoboken, New Jersey. She was the only child of Elsa and Walter Ploger and was raised in Jersey City, N.J. Liz and her parents spoke only German in the house. She learned to speak English in elementary school. Liz was an excellent student attending PS 27 (skipping two grades) and Dickinson High School where she graduated in June 1950 at age 16. In May 1953, Liz and her parents made a three month journey to Europe leaving New York City aboard the Queen Elizabeth to Cherbourg, France. They traveled throughout Europe. This trip developed a life-long love of travel that Liz and her parents enjoyed throughout their lives. Liz worked for Lowe’s Inc/MGM in New York City for seven years and jumped at the chance to move to Los Angeles when an in-house opportunity to transfer came up. She and her parents made the move to LA in 1957, purchasing a small home on Weddington Street in Sherman Oaks that Liz lived in until she developed the illness that would take her from us. She thrived in LA, and while continuing to work for Lowe’s/MGM she attended Los Angeles City College for two years, majoring in journalism. In 1971, Liz moved to Switzerland for a year. During her time in Lausanne, she traveled to England, Norway, Italy, Germany, and many points in between. After moving back to Los Angeles, Liz worked for the Elizabeth Taylor Diamond Company as well as Lion Country Safari.

  • Peter Graves
    Peter Graves Froding, Burns, Scott and Carlyle In February 1890 the Swedish poet Gustaf Froding, at that time convalescing in a nerve sanatorium in Schleswig, wrote a respectful letter to Professor Carl Rupert Nyblom, Professor of lEsthetics in the University of Uppsala. He wrote:1 24 Feb 90 Dear Professor, As you can see, enclosed herewith are a number of translations of foreign poets - Bums, Chamisso, Lenau, Poe - which I was intending to include in a collection of poems that will possibly be published. However, I know that you, Professor, have translated some poems by these authors, although I can't remember which, and since I don't want to make myself appear to be a plagiariser, I have taken the liberty - you might possibly think it pushiness ­ of contacting you to request information. My translations are, admittedly, no more than trifles but it would be despicable if they were to appear in print - irrespective of whether they are new of their kind - as second editions of old familiar things... I ask your forgiveness if I am being discourteous in requesting this, and sign myself, Humbly yours, Gustaf Fr6ding, Dr Kahlbaum's Sanatorium, Gorlitz, Schleswig. [Brev 1, 173-74] As with a good deal else that Froding did, the innocent letter misfired. He received in return a postcard from Nyblom pointing out, not unkindly, that 'the only surprising thing about your letter was that, since it had insufficient stamps, I had to pay double postage. But my boys are stamp collectors 7 NORTHERN STUDIES· 32 and, since the four stamps were of a new variety, one thing ba~ances out the other'.

  • The Shoah on Screen – Representing Crimes Against Humanity Big Screen, Film-Makers Generally Have to Address the Key Question of Realism
    Mémoi In attempting to portray the Holocaust and crimes against humanity on the The Shoah on screen – representing crimes against humanity big screen, film-makers generally have to address the key question of realism. This is both an ethical and an artistic issue. The full range of approaches has emember been adopted, covering documentaries and fiction, historical reconstructions such as Steven Spielberg’s Schindler’s List, depicting reality in all its details, and more symbolic films such as Roberto Benigni’s Life is beautiful. Some films have been very controversial, and it is important to understand why. Is cinema the best way of informing the younger generations about what moire took place, or should this perhaps be left, for example, to CD-Roms, videos Memoi or archive collections? What is the difference between these and the cinema as an art form? Is it possible to inform and appeal to the emotions without being explicit? Is emotion itself, though often very intense, not ambivalent? These are the questions addressed by this book which sets out to show that the cinema, a major art form today, cannot merely depict the horrors of concentration camps but must also nurture greater sensitivity among increas- Mémoire ingly younger audiences, inured by the many images of violence conveyed in the media. ireRemem moireRem The Shoah on screen – www.coe.int Representing crimes The Council of Europe has 47 member states, covering virtually the entire continent of Europe.
