kroz stare zidine.En: The sky was frowning, and the wind howled through the old walls.Sr: Miloš je hodao užurbano, sa kapuljačom preko glave.En: Miloš walked briskly, with his hood over his head.Sr: Njegove misli bile su teške.En: His thoughts were heavy.Sr: Bio je zabrinut.En: He was worried.Sr: Ana je čekala kod Velikog stepeništa.En: Ana was waiting at the Grand Staircase.Sr: Videla je Miloša i mahnula mu.En: She saw Miloš and waved to him.Sr: "Ovde si?En: "You're here?"Sr: " pitala je tiho.En: she asked quietly.Sr: "Da," odgovori Miloš.En: "Yes," Miloš replied.Sr: "Morali smo se naći ovde.En: "We had to meet here.Sr: Ova noć mora biti posebna.En: This night has to be special."Sr: "Začuo se grom.En: Thunder roared.Sr: Oboje su se trgnuli, ali nastavili su hodati.En: They both flinched but continued walking.Sr: Hteli su stići do mesta gde su se kamene ploče ukrštale.En: They wanted to reach the place where the stone slabs intersected.Sr: Tu je Miloš morao otkriti tajnu.En: That's where Miloš had to reveal the secret.Sr: "Šta je to tako važno?En: "What is so important?"Sr: " pitala je Ana.En: Ana asked.Sr: Progutala je suze i obrisala lice.En: She swallowed her tears and wiped her face.Sr: Miloš je stao i pogledao je duboko u oči.En: Miloš stopped and looked deep into her eyes.Sr: "Ana, naš otac nije ono što misliš.En: "Ana, our father is not what you think.Sr: On je skrivao nešto.En: He was hiding something.Sr: Ovde, na ovom mestu.En: Here, at this place."Sr: "Ana je izgledala izgubljeno.En: Ana looked confused.Sr: "Šta to znači?En: "What does that mean?"Sr: " Frknula je.En: she snapped.Sr: Miloš je izvadio staru mapu.En: Miloš took out an old map.Sr: "Pogledaj.En: "Look.Sr: Ova mapa vodi do skrivene komore.En: This map leads to a hidden chamber.Sr: Tu ćemo naći odgovore.En: There, we will find answers."Sr: "Kiša je počela padati, ali nisu odustali.En: It started to rain, but they didn't give up.Sr: Pratili su znakove na mapi, sve dok nisu stigli do stare kapije koja je bila poluzakopana u zemlji.En: They followed the signs on the map until they reached an old gate, half-buried in the ground.Sr: "Ovde?En: "Here?"Sr: " pitala je Ana.En: Ana asked.Sr: Bila je nervozna.En: She was nervous.Sr: Miloš je prišao.En: Miloš approached.Sr: "Da.En: "Yes.Sr: Mora biti ovde.En: It has to be here."Sr: "Zajedno su gurali teška vrata.En: Together they pushed the heavy door.Sr: Uz škripu su se otvorila.En: With a creak, it opened.Sr: Ispred njih je bio mračan hodnik.En: In front of them was a dark corridor.Sr: Uzdahnuli su i ušli.En: They sighed and entered.Sr: "Drži lampu," reče Miloš.En: "Hold the lamp," Miloš said.Sr: Ana je osvetljavala put.En: Ana illuminated the path.Sr: Hodnik je vodio do male sobe.En: The corridor led to a small room.Sr: Miloš je duboko udahnuo i otvorio mali sanduk na podu.En: Miloš took a deep breath and opened a small chest on the floor.Sr: Unutra je bila stara knjiga.En: Inside was an old book.Sr: "Ovo je dnevnik našeg dede," šapnu on.En: "This is our grandfather's diary," he whispered.Sr: "On je zapisao sve.En: "He wrote everything down."Sr: "Čitali su zajedno, ređajući red po red.En: They read together, line by line.Sr: U knjizi su našli priču o njihovom dedu koji je bio veliki vojskovođa.En: In the book, they found the story of their grandfather, who was a great military leader.Sr: Znao je mnoge tajne.En: He knew many secrets.Sr: Ali najvažnija tajna bila je ta da je njihova porodica čuvala veliki kovčeg blaga, skriven duboko ispod Kalemegdana.En: But the most important secret was that their family guarded a great treasure chest, hidden deep beneath Kalemegdan.Sr: "Kovčeg blaga?En: "A treasure chest?"Sr: " reče Ana, oči joj se sijale.En: Ana said, her eyes shining.Sr: Sada se nije samo kiša slegla, već i njihova srca.En: Now, not only did the rain settle but so did their hearts.Sr: Znali su da imaju misiju.En: They knew they had a mission.Sr: Njihov deda želeo je da oni pronađu kovčeg.En: Their grandfather wanted them to find the chest.Sr: "Ima još," nastavio je Miloš.En: "There's more," Miloš continued.Sr: "Na kraju dnevnika piše.En: "At the end of the diary, it says...Sr: Ako nađeš ovo, naći ćeš i mir.En: If you find this, you will find peace as well.Sr: Naša porodica će biti cela.En: Our family will be whole."Sr: "Ana ga je pogledala sa suzama u očima.En: Ana looked at him with tears in her eyes.Sr: "Moramo naći kovčeg.En: "We have to find the chest.Sr: Ne radi blaga, već mira.En: Not for the treasure, but for peace."Sr: "Kiša je stala.En: The rain stopped.Sr: Vetar je umirio.En: The wind calmed.Sr: Miloš i Ana izašli su iz hodnika, znajući da je ovo tek početak njihovog putovanja.En: Miloš and Ana emerged from the corridor, knowing this was just the beginning of their journey.Sr: Vratili su se na Kalemegdan, ali sada sa novom nadom u srcima.En: They returned to Kalemegdan, but now with a new hope in their hearts.Sr: Kalemegdan je ponovo bio tih i mračan, ali za Miloša i Anu, nova zora je počinjala.En: Kalemegdan was silent and dark again, but for Miloš and Ana, a new dawn was beginning.

Congress passed the Antiquities Act in 1906 to protect Native American archaeological sites from looters and vandalism, empowering the President to designate historic landmarks, structures, or objects of scientific interest as national monuments on federal land. However, it also imposed limitations, requiring such designations to cover only "the smallest area compatible with the proper care and management of the objects to be protected." Initially, Presidents designated monuments focused on safeguarding specific landmarks or structures.Over time, modern Presidents have expanded their authority under the Antiquities Act, interpreting "objects" broadly to include ecosystems. President Obama notably expanded the Act's use, establishing 29 new national monuments. However, this expansion faced pushback, with President Trump reducing the size of certain monuments and lifting usage restrictions. President Biden's subsequent actions, such as expanding the Grand Staircase monument and reinstating fishing bans, further illustrate the contentious nature of presidential monument designations.All these challenges present interesting questions of statutory interpretation, limits on presidential power, the authority of the judiciary to review Presidential action, and the scope and content of both the major questions doctrine and the nondelegation doctrine.Please join Adam Griffin, Separation of Powers Attorney at Pacific Legal Foundation, for a litigation update on these exciting cases and the future of presidential power under the Antiquities Act.
Michael Thomsen, founder of Origin 84 sits down with us once again to have a long overdue conversation. Michael shares how he and his company has faired since the pandemic. Will Joe miss ACES for his 20th wedding anniversary? While in town for ACES 2024, Michael will take the opportunity in to do some fascinating work and experience the Grand Staircase in Utah. We talk about how Origin 84 is reassessing and potentially adjusting client relationships to optimize efficiency and alignment with their post-pandemic vision. Initial focus was to identify clients who: -No longer align with our current business goals (products, services, target market). -Have outdated contracts that lack clarity on terms, expectations, and fees. Creating timelines is important to establish a completion date. Client contracts shows the full value of the business. Use the media narrative to create opportunities for your business. Conduct client reviews (surveys, one-on-one meetings, etc.) to assess alignment and contract status. Develop and implement clear communication protocols (preferred channels, response times, etc.). Establish healthy boundaries with clients (e.g., scope of work limitations, after-hours communication expectations). Improve client relationships and manage expectations through clear communication. Origin 84 sat down as a team to re-evaluate client relationships and used a multitude of factors to decide to continue to work with them. We discuss the difficulty to assess profitability per client with unlimited monthly models. Time tracking is still critical to understand if your company is profitable. “Track the time, sell the value.” Jason Harrison Jerry talks about how he manages his business as an army of one. Be careful proposing to all your clients. What happens if they all say yes? Michael gives us some great insight into his business acumen. It all flows back to Burning Man for Joe.

rWotD Episode 2536: Green Room (White House) Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.The random article for Saturday, 13 April 2024 is Green Room (White House).The Green Room is one of three state parlors on the first floor of the White House, the home of the president of the United States. It is used for small receptions and teas. During a state dinner, guests are served cocktails in the three state parlors before the president, first lady, and a visiting head of state descend the Grand Staircase for dinner. The room is traditionally decorated in shades of green. The room is approximately 28 by 22.5 feet (8.5 by 6.9 m). It has six doors, which open into the Cross Hall, East Room, South Portico, and Blue Room. Little is known about the room's original decor, except that it was likely in the fashionable French Empire style of the day, a tradition that continued until a group of Colonial Revival and Federal-style furniture and art experts appointed by then President Coolidge sought to restore the room according to the period in which it was built, rather than a passing style of a later time. All subsequent work on the room followed Coolidge's lead, First Lady Jackie Kennedy most prominently. In 1961, she formed the White House Historical Association "to help the White House collect and exhibit the very best artifacts of American history and culture." The same year, "Congress enacted Public Law 87-286 declaring that the furnishings of the White House were the inalienable property of the White House, legislating the White House’s status as a museum and extending legal protection to donated period furnishings and all White House objects." An endowment for new acquisitions and the renovation of state rooms was created in 1979, with the help of former First Lady Rosalynn Carter. Upon his death, February 20, 1862, Abraham Lincoln's son Willie was laid in state in the Green Room. (With Malice Towards None by Stephen B. Oats)This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:46 UTC on Saturday, 13 April 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Green Room (White House) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Matthew Neural.

“The Grand Staircase. In the basement of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, below the Arms and Armor wing and outside the guards' Dispatch Office, there are stacks of empty art crates. The crates come in all shapes and sizes... fit to ship rare treasures. On the morning of my first day in uniform I stand beside these sturdy, romantic things, wondering what my own role in the museum will feel like.”

Cette semaine, je te propose d'aller à la rencontre d'un couple d'ultramarathoniens qui revient tout juste des États-Unis où ils ont vécu toute une aventure! Milèna Daisy Lévesque et Alexandre Raymond ont participé au Grand to Grand Ultra, une course par étapes de 273 km entre le Grand Canyon en Arizona, et le Grand Staircase en Utah. Mais, l'objectif de terminer cette course ne date pas d'hier. Il y a sept ans, alors qu'elle commençait tout juste à courir, Daisy a assisté à une conférence qui a abordé le Grand to Grand. En un claquement de doigt, l'objectif était ancré dans sa tête et elle allait tout mettre en œuvre pour y arriver. D'une première tentative sur 6 km au QMT, jusqu'à compléter des courses à étapes difficiles comme le Trans Vallée, le Bad Beaver Ultra et le Trans Percé 100, elle a mis les efforts nécessaires sans jamais lâcher. Et son conjoint a fini par se faire prendre au jeu, alors qu'il a mis les bouchées doubles pour lui aussi se préparer à participer au Grand to Grand Ultra. L'histoire de Daisy et Alexandre, c'est celle de deux passionnés qui ont mis tout en place pour réussir à accomplir un rêve ambitieux, sans se laisser décourager par ses peurs, par les gens par ou les obstacles. C'est une histoire de persévérance et c'est la preuve qu'avec une détermination inébranlable, tout est possible.

The Viking Polar Marine Geoscience Fund will endow the University's Scott Polar Research Institute with its first-ever fully funded professorship—the Viking Chair of Polar Marine Geoscience. This new post will enhance the scientific leadership at the Institute and will enable the development of new lines of research into the behavior of polar environments, including polar ice sheets, sea ice and ocean circulation.

She is currently sailing toward the Great Lakes region, where she will be based for voyages throughout the Boreal summer.

Acting as the ship's godmother, Meredith Vieira – 15-time Emmy Award-winning host, executive producer and anchor – led the christening ceremony.After reciting her blessing, Vieira cut a rope tethered to the locally produced sparkling wine – Johann Hubert Exclusive – causing the bottle to smash against the newly named ship's bow. Managing Director of Avalon Waterways Pam Hoffee, Captain Ambrose Manolache and the ship's crew of 47 – as well as 75 invited guests that included journalists, travel agents, local dignitaries and tourism boards – cheered the ship's christening.The new Avalon View welcomes travellers aboard with a warm mix of light and dark woods, accented by rich taupe, brown and red décor in public spaces and touches of blue throughout the Suite Ship's Suites and Deluxe Staterooms, inspired by Dutch interior designer Liane van Leeuwen. Original art in common areas is by Dutch artist Eelco Maan and cabin paintings were created by another Dutch artist, Sofie Fisher.Creating wider openings for wide-eyed wonder, Avalon Waterways' Open-Air Balconies were designed with views in mind. A Panorama Suite highlight on all of the Suite Ships of Avalon, the wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows open 11-feet wide in Europe and 14-feet wide in Southeast Asia… wider than any other balconies in the industry. They blur the line between outside and in while forming a comfortable and spacious seating area without compromising room space. As a result, Avalon guests can enjoy 100 per cent of their Panorama Suite, 100 per cent of the time.Throughout the 2022 cruise season, the new 443-foot, 166-passenger Avalon View will sail the Danube River on several itineraries including Taste of the Danube, Danube Symphony, Active & Discovery on the Danube and Gone Girl!

Vi kigger nu på en af ikke blot kunsthistoriens, men populærkulturens kæmper, grafikeren Giovanni Battista Piranesi, som med sine arkitekturfantasier var med til at omdanne den vestlige kulturs imaginære rum. Også i tegneserierne. Piranesi er mest berømt for sin serie af såkaldte fængselsfantasier — Carceri d'invenzione (to hovedudgaver, 1550 og 1561) — der iscenesætter enorme katakombagtige og evigt forgrenede rum med accenter af indespærring, tortur og fortabelse. Disse uudgrundelige rum nedbryder den arkitektoniske logik, de umiddelbart er konstrueret efter, og tangerer derved noget uudgrundeligt og underbevidst. Ren civilisation, ingen natur. Den forestilling om det uoverskueligt kolossale, om arkitekturen som mentalt landskab og billede på civilisationen. Kunsthistorisk foregreb han Cézanne og kubismen, mens hans påvirkning på den moderne populærkultur ses i alt fra H. P. Lovecrafts R'Lyeh til the Grand Staircase i Hogwarts, og fra Fritz Langs Metropolis til Jean-Jacques Annauds filmatisering af Umberto Ecos Name of the Rose. I tegneserien spøger han i alt fra Windsor McCays Befuddle Hall til Philippe Druillets elefantine fantasier; fra selvmordsskakten i Moebius og Jodorowskys John Difool til Frederik Schuiten og Benoît Peeters serie om Hemmelighedsfulde byer. Herhjemme fandt han sin fornemmeste arvtager i grafikeren Palle Nielsen. Piranesi (1720—1778) var fra Venedig, men tilbragte størstedelen af sin karriere, fra sidst i 1540erne og frem, i Rom. Der blev han en af byens definitive skildrere, på tværs af historien — fra antikkens fragmenterede storhed til samtidens byplanlægning, og fra den klassiske arkæologi til fantasiiens fortid. Vi kortlægger karrieren og analyserer udvalgte værker i anledning af den store udstilling, kurateret af Hanne Kolind Paulsen, som kan ses på Statens Museum for Kunst i København indtil 27. februar, når der ikke er coronalukket.
BLAKE SPALDING, originally from New Hampshire, began cooking when she was a small child. By the time she was eight years old, she was preparing full meals for her family. Blake began working in the restaurant world at an early age and at the age of sixteen moved with her family to Flagstaff, Arizona. In her twenties, Blake began cooking as a river chef, mostly on the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon, and continued to do this for many years. She also worked for Greenpeace, during which she helped with an anti-pesticide campaign that inspired her passion for organics, sustainability, and all things biochemically and genetically unaltered. While working as a river chef, she began another career: “extreme catering”—cooking in remote, isolated locations, including a deserted island in the Bahamas and the Amazon rainforest. She also opened a catering business in Flagstaff. As a practicing Buddhist, she was often asked to cook for Tibetan lamas, and this directed her relationship with food into one fused with spirituality and meaning. In the year 2000, the opportunity to own Hell's Backbone Grill presented itself, and she moved to Boulder with her friend in cooking, Jen Castle.https://hellsbackbonegrill.com/Cookbook! - https://www.amazon.com/This-Immeasurable-Place-Farming-Wilderness/dp/0999458817 ANNOUNCING JOURNEY SPACE -***Check out the new platform JourneySpace.com - a space for online live facilitated journeys.

Untapped New York. https://untappedcities.com/2020/06/05/behind-the-scenes-inside-the-new-york-state-capitol-in-albany/ TRANSCRIPT: Hello, and welcome to Crimes & Witch-Demeanors! I'm your host, Joshua Spellman. We're starting the year off right with something we should have covered earlier…a haunted library! Or…at least a haunting that was caused by a library. The New York State Capitol Building, in Albany is home to three known spirits: the artist William Morris Hunt, a night watchman named Samuel Abbott, and a fruit vendor. There was a death of a construction worker at the site that may contribute to the hauntings, but it is not confirmed. Both the fruit vendor and the construction worker have remained nameless in all the internet articles I've read…until now. Join me in discovering their identities and learning more about the tragic fire that erased centuries of history and caused billions of dollars of damage…which of course lets us touch briefly on the importance of libraries, preservation, and the dangers that digital and physical records pose to the preservation of our history and culture. BUT…before we get to our main ghost story we have to talk about the building itself because not only is it impressive, it is integral to the spirits that haunt it. The New York State Capitol is an incredibly large and imposing structure that fills two whole city blocks. Five architects had worked on its design and it was heralded as one of the most beautiful buildings in America…though others criticized it for being an oversized and costly spectacle. Which…they weren't wrong about. Construction took place between 1867 and 1899 at a cost of over 25 million dollars, or the modern equivalent of 768 million. It was built by hand using white granite from Maine and in places the walls are four to five feet thick. Its style is unique…and that is in part because of its five architects that did not work on the project simultaneously leading to what historians refer to it as the “Battle of the Styles”. It also has led to some interesting mishaps, not all stemming from its numerous architects, but they are major oversights nonetheless. Some highlights include the building initially being built on top of quick sand! Not sure how that happened! They had to dig out all the sand and replace it with clay and concrete. Another major mistake was that the original cornerstone of the building, which contains a time capsule, has been lost because the builders forgot to mark it. The first architect, Thomas Fuller, designed the first floor in a Classical and Romanesque style. However, from 1875-1883, Henry Hobson Richardson and Leopold Eidlitz worked on the building and continued the design in a Renaissance style. During this time, Frederick Law Olmstead, who was a frequent collaborator with Richardson, was hired for the landscape architecture. The final architect on the project was Isaac G. Perry, assigned to the project by Grover Cleveland. He became the first New York State architect and is known for many institutional buildings and asylums across the state. While the exterior itself is impressive the interior is absolutely breathtaking. In particular, the Western Grand Staircase is a testament to the intricacies of this bold design. Initially begun by Richardson, it was completed by Perry who kept his design but added even more carved elements than originally planned. The Grand Staircase lacks a dome, and in fact the New York State Capitol is one of only 10 US Capitol buildings without one, but in its place is a magnificent 3,000 square foot skylight. Which is…bigger than any house I've lived in. I cannot even fathom it. The vaulted ceilings and sandstone walls are carved with intricate acanthus leaf designs around 77 famous faces of the day. The sandstone carvers were also allowed to carve a memory into the sandstone, many choosing to carve the faces of their wives or children. However, one of these artisans had a dark side as he chose to carve the face of a demon tucked between some leaves in a dark hallway. It is so small and tiny that it is said if you can find the face on your own, you yourself are a devil. The devil is surely in the details and the capitol building is full of them. One of the lost details are the murals of artist William Morris Hunter. Hunt was commissioned to paint two 45 foot long murals directly onto the sandstone walls of the Assembly Chamber. They were titled “The Flight of Night” and “Discover” and Hunt considered them to be his magnum opus. Sadly, the ceiling of the Assembly Chamber was deemed unstable and had to be lowered significantly, permanently obscuring the artwork. Future murals that were planned were deserted due to a lack of funding. The destruction of these works are largely attributed to the deepening of his depression and eventual suicide. His ghost still haunts the capitol today, mourning the loss of his greatest works. The lowered ceiling was intended to be made of solid oak. However, the contractor cheated the state to line his own pockets and instead used oak paneling filled with paper mâché. While this was a contentious issue at the time it ended up saving the Assembly Chamber in 1911 when true tragedy struck. “Good evening, what are you still doing here?” and old man asked, a lantern in one hand and a silver-handled cane in the other “Working late?” “Good evening, Mr. Abbott! Oh, well you know…a librarian's work is never done!” the man replied, “Plus the Tammany caucus didn't wrap up until,” he glanced at his pocket watch “nearly one o'clock this morning. So I'm just closing up the State Library now. I believe they're still in the Assembly Library up to God knows what! I just worry, I hate that the Assembly uses their library as a social venue…always drinking and smoking…even with their wives around!” Old man Abbott chuckled, “Well I'll make sure they don't get into too much trouble, that's my job after all!” he said, patting the small firearm on his side. “I will sleep a little better knowing you're on the lookout” the librarian sighed, “I suppose I'm just a little on edge about it all. With the Triangle Shirtwaist fire last week, I can't stop thinking about what would happen if something like that were to occur here with all the cigarettes flying about” “Well,” Abbott said, thoughtfully, “they say this building is fireproof and I'm sure we'd be able to put out a blaze before it got too serious. Remember the fire a few years ago in the cellar from the electrical? That wasn't a problem. We just shut the doors at it burned itself out.” “You're right, you're right” the librarian replied, “I'm just being overly anxious. Well, goodnight Samuel” the librarian said, waving his hand as he exited the library. “Goodnight!” Abbott shouted back as he resumed his patrol of the stacks. Samuel smiled, looking toward the intricate ceilings, drinking in the newfound silence of the library. What a job he had. What a life he had. The relative stillness of the State Capitol at night was a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the capitol during the day, not dissimilar to the cacophony of the Civil War that oftentimes still rang through his ears But at night. The night was different. A peaceful, cool stillness that only being surrounded by marble and stone could impart. There was nothing like wandering the corridors alone at night, absorbing the artistry all around him; every night finding some new detail tucked away into the sandstone by some coy artisan. Despite being an old man of 78, Samuel was happy to be working. He loved being in awe every day. There was always something new, something exciting. The State Library itself, with its hundreds of thousands of books, or even more exciting…the artifact collection. Unique items and treasures from all over the world, and he was able to spend time alone with them. And it was his job to protect them and the employees of the capitol. There was never a night that he didn't find something to excite him, and this night was no different. “FIRE! FIRE!” a panicked voice shouted from somewhere in the hall. Samuel rushed out of the library as quickly as he could, and he found the man in the hall, looking around, frantic. “What's going on?” Samuel asked, concerned. “There's a fire. A fire in the assembly library. It was just a small fire on the desk it could have been put out with just a bucket of water but we couldn't find any…” the man breathed heavily “we thought we'd shut the door and let it burn out while we got something to extinguish it but…but…now it's engulfed the whole library. We have to get everyone out!” Samuel didn't say a word. He just nodded in understanding and rushed back into the library. He had to do something, “Is anyone in here?!” he shouted through the library, his voice echoing. He just performed his rounds and didn't see anyone, but he had to make sure “There's a fire and we have to evacuate!” He listened. The only thing he could hear was the distant commotion in the Assembly room. Glancing around at the thousands of books and records around him, Samuel was overcome by the importance of these volumes. Family genealogies, state records, even materials from the founding fathers were in this library. Without a second thought, Samuel made his way around the library, flinging open windows in hopes that it could save the material. “What are you doing?” someone gasped from the doorway of the library “We have to go!” they shouted before running off. “I'll be out in a moment!” Samuel grumbled back, continuing his crusade to save the library. First, smoke began to pour in from one of the other entrances. Then flames leapt out, licking the nearest shelf of books, setting them ablaze. Quickly, the fire spread down the stacks. The smoke was so thick that Samuel could hardly see. Wheezing, he hobbled on his cane out into the hall. He could hear voices in the distance, but he seemed to be the only one around, everyone else had made it safely out the area of immediate danger. Samuel made his way as quickly as possible to the Grand Staircase but what he saw was a scene out of the ninth circle of hell. The fire was burning so hot that the staircase was…melting. The staircase was turning into a molten slurry and Samuel could hear cracks forming in the massive skylight above. He pivoted and made his way down a narrow corridor. He knew this building like the back of his hand, this was the closest way out, just through this claustrophobic hallway. The smoke seared his lungs. He couldn't see. He reached for the keys on his belt, he knew the door would be locked. It was only a hundred feet or so. CRACK! The sound was deafening. The skylight above the Grand Staircase, had shattered. And though it was far behind him, it sounded as though it was just above him. The walls of the corridor were crumbling, the ceiling was falling down. Just 40 more feet. A large chunk of stone fell next to Samuel, just missing him. 30 more feet. He coughed. His eyes were feeling heavy. 20 feet. He grabbed the keys from his belt. 15 feet. The glass of the door he was headed to shattered in front of him, which was fortunate in case he couldn't get the lock. 10 feet. His feet felt heavy, he was losing consciousness. But he was almost there. 5 feet. Blackness. Poor Samuel Abbott perished just 5 feet from safety. His body being buried by debris, it would not be found for days. Samuel Abbott was the sole human casualty of the 1911 Capitol Fire. Despite his brave actions, much of the Library's collections and State records were lost. 500,000 books, over 300,000 colonial manuscripts, state census records, revolutionary war records, were destroyed alongside another 10,000 archaeological and ethnographic artifacts. It's said that miraculously, the only items left unscathed by the inferno were the Native American artifacts. Were they protected by ancestor spirits? The blaze was eventually put out, completely destroying about a quarter of the capitol. Unfortunately, none of the material, not the building were insured. Which was especially detrimental since the fire caused anywhere from 8 million to 12 million dollars in damage. The modern equivalent of 209 to 314 million today. In a strange twist of fate, the paper mâché paneling in the assembly room that covered up William Morris Hunt's artwork may have helped save the day. If the ceiling in the Assembly was made of solid oak as planned, it would have been destroyed in minutes. However, the filling of the paneling absorbed the water from the firefighter's hoses and slowed the progress of the fire. Saving the Assembly room from total wreckage, and preventing the spread of the fire to the rest of the Capitol. The jangle of keys can be heard late at night. Locked doorknobs turn and are tugged at. It appears that Samuel's ghost is still wandering the halls. Not in pain, but happily carrying out his nightly duties, ensuring that everyone in the building is safe. Helping to avoid any future tragedy that may befall the Capitol. For a story about a library fire the accuracy of the articles out there are astoundingly poor. In more than one article William Morris Hunt is called William Morris Hunter. Luckily he's a larger figure in the art world and this is easily remedied but it had been Samuel Abbott that was misnamed it would make research on him much more difficult. I feel so bad for Samuel Abbott, especially because he was so close to escaping. His body was lost in the ruins and wasn't discovered until March 31st. Here is an excerpt from the Brooklyn Times Union titled “Body is Found in Albany Ruins”: “About 7:30 o'clock this morning, as the men tackled the debris near the entrance, they discovered a charred leg protruding upwards. Shortly after the body was uncovered and taken from the ruins. The head and trunk were not burned, but the four limbs were charred. Had Abbott been able to continue on his way he would have found safety within five feet. The door, although locked, is partly glass and would have broken easily. It is supposed the smoke drove him out of the library proper, and he was overcome on his way to safety.” This is also the main excerpt I based the narration on, since (naturally) not much is available on what happened to him specifically that night. Though accounts of other staff members are plentiful. However, I weaved facts in the rest of the narration. Parts of the sandstone did melt under the heat of the flames and the giant skylight completely shattered from the heat. The amount of damage to the building and the records inside it is astounding. While the cause of the fire is still debated, today it's usually attributed to a cigar or cigarette that was discarded improperly during the caucus. However, all the newspapers I read said it was due to faulty wiring, which was the cause of the previous fire in the cellar. There were reports of electrical issues in the Assembly room and the Assembly Library prior to the fire so it is a possibility. Reports on this differ and it's impossible to know now what truly started the blaze. The damage was incredible, and the descriptions of how the building essentially acted as a chimney for flames to shoot through and carry to other parts of the building is horrifying. You can see pictures of the damage on the podcast Instagram. It's worth a look. This fire still impacts research in the modern day as so many historical records, even those dating to colonial times were destroyed. However, this leads me to address a major part of this story that has become legend: that none of the indigenous artifacts were damaged in the fire. This obviously is an ominous and spooky fact that has spread over the last century… but it's only partially true. The night of the fire many brave librarians, archivists, and archaeologists did what any of us would do – attempt to save our cultural heritage. Arthur Parker, the first New York State archaeologist ran the length of the fourth floor hallway brandishing a tomahawk that was passed down through generations of Seneca natives. He used the tomahawk as a fire ax and rescued as many artifacts as he was able. He managed to only save 50 of the 500 Iroquois artifacts on display, but it was better than having them all perish in the flames. So…yes. Some of the indigenous materials were saved, but it was due to human intervention, not the spectral. Other librarians managed to save rare volumes and artifacts including the original manuscript of George Washington's farewell address and the copy of the Emancipation Proclamation that Abraham Lincoln had written by hand. One of the more heartwarming things I read in the newspapers were the other librarians from across the world lending assistance and condolences. In an article in the Syracuse Post Standard, Mary J. Sibley, the librarian at Syracuse University, offered the use of the library to the Capitol Building's State Library School. The head librarian from the Imperial University in Tokyo also send kind words and support via telegram. We'll get back to paranormal ghosts in a moment but the true ghosts of the fire is the hundreds of thousands of lost records that were vital to learning our country's history. However, this fire and the famous Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire that happened only days prior, led to major fire safety reforms. Library fires have destroyed many important records: most famously the 1921 fire that destroyed almost the entirety of the 1890 census, or more recently the 2018 museum fire in Brazil that destroyed over 200 years of records and artifacts. One of the most annoying things I hear surrounding these fires is “Why didn't they have all of it scanned and digital?” And there is so much to unpack here, it would probably take another hour of explaining the intricacies of not only digitization but digital preservation. But here's the cliff notes: most of the world's knowledge is on paper. Well over 90% of it, in fact. Why is it not digital? There's a number of factors—the largest being that digitization is expensive. It takes a lot of manual labor that libraries, museums, and archives do not have the funding or manpower for in addition to storage and maintenance costs. Digital records are also a lot more volatile than paper ones. How many times have you opened a file and it was corrupt? Or you accidentally deleted something from your hard drive? Things like this can wipe out thousands of records in an instant. Also, digital records need constant upkeep as file formats become obsolete and as they suffer from bitrot…yes, digital files do rot…there's a lot. The long and short of it is that paper records are typically easier to preserve. Ideally you would have the paper copies and numerous copies of digital surrogates stored in different geographic locations with different natural disaster threats. But I digress. The moral of the story is digital media is more prone to destruction and requires constant upkeep while paper records can be managed with benign neglect. Okay, sorry for the lecture. Let's talk about the ghosts we haven't met yet—the unnamed fruit vendor and the construction worker. The spirit of the vendor was said to be discovered when a female tour guide was locking up for the night when she saw a large, black mass fall from one of the upper floors to ground below. To her surprise, there was nothing there. After telling her fellow tour guides they were confused because there had never been ghost sightings in that portion of the building. It was later discovered that in 1890 a depressed fruit vendor flung himself from the fourth floor Senate Chamber staircase and died. There are numerous reports of people seeing something fall from the staircase and when they look they have seen a man bleeding out on the stones. However, once they go to get help there is nothing there upon their return. Surprisingly, no articles name this fruit vendor which had me doubting his existence. I came across the story on a fluke and I would never have found this information if it wasn't for some faulty OCR..which if you don't know is optical character recognition. Essentially computer readings of scanned images. I was searching for fruit vendors in 1890 using modern spelling “v-e-n-d-o-r” but luckily the OCR on a newspaper was incorrect and I still go the hit. It turns out in 1890 it was spelled “v-e-n-d-e-r” and for some really odd reason, the story of the fruit vendor's suicide was exclusive to this Brooklyn newspaper. Brooklyn is nowhere near Albany but again, I digress. The story is honestly super graphic and surprising for a Victorian-era article, but the article from the Brooklyn Citizen reads as follows: An Unusual Suicide: A Fruit Vender Kills Himself in the State Capitol (special to the citizen) Albany, April 17th: At about 8:45 this morning Jacob Thorne, a sidewalk fruit vender, jumped or fell down the Senate staircase, a distance of eighty-five feet, to the second floor and was instantly killed, his head being crushed to jelly. He was about 65 years of age, and had been in ill health for some time, and was supposed by many to be slightly deranged. The suicide theory is accepted, as the body lay almost in the centre of the court” So, now we know that his name was Jacob Thorne. Why he's never mentioned by name anywhere is beyond me. I tried to do more research into him, and I thought I came across him…a farmer named Jacob Thorne in the Albany area. At first it appeared that he was still alive after 1890 but when I saw he was listed on a census for no reason, his wife was listed as widowed, I thought it may be him. But alas, it was not. I searched for a good amount of time through numerous resources and only came across the Jacob Thorne that was not him. This leads me to believe either the records were destroyed or perhaps he was black. But I'm just glad that his name is out there now, because the dead should be remembered. This includes the construction worker who's spirit may or may not haunt the grounds. In all the stories it is said that a man who was plastering the ceilings in the Senate Assembly room in 1878 fell on a Saturday night and he wasn't discovered until Monday morning, still alive. Doctor's attempted to save his life but he died two days later. Is this story the truth? According to the Buffalo Courier and the Poughkeepsie Eagle, on Monday, October 29, 1878, two men had fallen while working on the capital building on the same day, at different times, and were both seriously injured. So there's one discrepancy, there were two men: Patrick Stanton and John Hunt. Stanton fell from the scaffolding while Hunt fell through a ventilation hole in the ceiling when removing its co ver. Yet another inaccuracy is that this incident occurred on a Monday and not over the weekend as the story goes. They were both immediately taken to the hospital for medical attention. Neither of them appears to have died. Though there was a John Hunter that died the same day who was a mason. However, he's buried in Brooklyn. It's possible it was him, but the name isn't an exact match. The articles title…which I must read since it is…something else does say that there was a death from injuries. The title is “Important River News: Items from our Exchanges ; Two Accidents At The Capital - Died From His Injuries - The Body of Eagan Found In The River - Fires - A Pet Dog Roasted In An Oven - Strange Disappearance Of An Aged Lady - Sad Accident in Troy” This…is a sidebar we need to touch on. I come across so many bizarre stories when reading newspapers. The dog story…I just need to share. I shouldn't laugh but it's so weird! “A lady living on Front Street, west of Swan, had a favorite little pet dog about the house up to Thursday last. On that day he mysteriously disappeared, and Sunday, when the lady had occasion to open for the first time since Thursday, the oven door of the kitchen stove, the roast remains of the per were found” WHAT. I need to know more. But that's not why were' here. Curiously, the article also mentions that there was a fatality of someone by the name Riley in the Assembly room due to ventilation holes which had been covered at this point. Is this the ghost of the worker who fell? Or is this an additional death not mentioned previously. Either way, this is a mystery that I unfortunately spent over an hour trying to figure out and one that for now, will remain unsolved. If either of these men were to die it seems it would have been John Hunt as he was suffering from “intense internal pain” that they couldn't find the cause of. The ghost of William Morris Hunt is said to be felt in the Assembly Chamber where his prized works were covered up and then later destroyed. No one has ever seen his ghost, but instead he has been “felt” and the lights will occasionally flicker. Which could be his ghost…but it makes me think of the faulty wiring that may have ignited the blaze. The doorknobs in the room also rattle and doors slam shut and open on their own. However, I like to think this is the ghost of Samuel Abbott, making sure doors are locked and shut as he makes his nightly rounds. The idea that Mr. Abbott is still trying to keep people safe, that this building has a guardian spirit makes me smile. And on this smile-worthy note we shall close. There is so much history that was lost and so much history to uncover at the New York State Capitol, an hour could be dedicated to all the information I couldn't fit in. I'm recording this episode on Tuesday night because I spent way too much time investigating some of these ghosts! If you have any places you want me to investigate, please let me know! Tell a friend about this podcast if you think they'd like it. So please, stay away from scaffolding, say thank-you to your local librarian, and as always stay curious and stay spooky. Bye~

Have you ever heard about the Titanic and how it sank? Today, I’m going to be talking about how it actually sank and what it was like. The Titanic sank from a regular iceberg, so you think. You probably wouldn’t believe how big it actually was. I’ll tell you if you don’t freak out though, ok? Ok, so it was an astonishing 3,000 feet big! Imagine that? But that wasn’t the only cause of the Titanic sinking. But first, let’s talk about what it was like in the Titanic. The first thing about it was it was ALWAYS busy on the ship. You may ask why, and it was because there were three classes in the ship or three floors of rooms on the ship. The first class was usually more wealthy people that were most likely bankers or businessmen. The second class was full of a little bit less wealthy people and were usually tourists, professors, or teachers. The third class was actually mostly poor people because it was the cheapest floor on the ship. One of the main attractions on the ship was the Grand Staircase. If you’ve seen it before, And if you are asking already if it was actually made of gold, it was not. It was built out of oak. A fun fact for you though, the grand staircase was on multiple floors. Starting from the bottom deck, the E deck, then it goes to the D deck, then it goes to the C deck, then it goes to the B deck, and then it goes to the A deck, and FINALLY, it goes to the Boat deck and it stops there. Gotta be honest, that is tiring to say over and over again with counting backward in the alphabet from E to A. Let’s get to the point though. The first thing I want to talk about is the Captain of the ship. His name exactly was Edward Smith. Smith was already not trusted because he took the blame of sinking the RMS Olympic, the Titanic’s identical. Once it was heard that Smith was sailing the RMS Titanic, some people didn’t trust it because they assumed that he would sink that ship along with the Olympic. Any guesses on what Captain Smith did? Well, you’ve probably guessed by now that he sunk it. You might be wondering how though. Captain Edward Smith was sailing in the Atlantic Ocean going full speed, IGNORING the iceberg warnings. Long story short, he crashed the ship straight into an iceberg. Let’s go back to how they made the ship. When the made the ship, they put compartments on the bottom so if the ship crashed into anything, it wouldn’t sink. The only thing is that if the ship actually crashed into something, only four of the compartments’ maximum can fill up on the bottom without sinking. That was the other problem of the sinking of the Titanic. More than four compartments filled up all the wat, therefore, it sank. So, if you are still wondering who’s the fault it was overall, it was a lot of people/things fault. First off, it was the Captain’s fault for going full speed into the iceberg. Second, it was the iceberg’s fault for being so big and tearing so big of a gap in the ship. The last person/people’s fault it was is the people who built the ship because of how they constructed the compartments. And that’s it! That’s all from the story behind the Titanic.
Was ist die Gemeinsamkeit zwischen Ausdauersport und Projekte, zwischen Ausdauersport und Erfolg, zwischen Ausdauersport und dem Erreichen von Zielen. In dieser Folge erzähle ich meine Geschichte des vielleicht eines meiner größten sportlichen Erfolge. Dem Grand 2 Grand Ultra. Ein 273km langes Mehrtages-Selbstversorger-Ultrarennen.

Candy Harrington, a journalist who traveled the National Park System to see how accessible lodges and trails in the parks really are, discusses her new book on accessibility in the parks. And Cory MacNulty and Erika Pollard from the National Parks Conservation Association’s Southwest Regional Office discuss the U.S. Bureau of Land Management’s plans for managing the greatly reduced in size Bears Ears and Grand Staircase monuments.
*Saturday Extra* There was a recent victory in the pro-wilderness world – a plan by the Bureau of Land Management to clearcut more than 30,000 acres of pinyon-juniper forest and sagebrush stands within Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument was overturned by a federal appeals board. The Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, along with the Western Watersheds Project, the Wilderness Society, and the Grand Canyon Trust brought the appeal. On the extended newscast, SUWA wildlands attorney Kya Marienfeld speaks about this victory, the history of ripping out pinyon-juniper forest, and what placing more attention on these issues could mean for the future.

Episode #48 Utah National Parks Part 1 Welcome to the Travel Gluten Free Podcast, where you, my friend, listen in on how to lead a gluten-free lifestyle with more fun and ease! Let's start with the basics: what to expect when you come to Utah: crazy weather Super dry climate lots of tourists lots of ice cream sunburn How can you avoid the busiest tourist season What should youbring with you to Utah and what are the national parks you can visit? When you go to national park page at nps.gov you can search for parks by state. When you click on Utah, the site will give you a list of all the national places: monuments, sites and historic trails, recreational sites and parks. Each of these areas are maintained by the government and are part of the national park service. These are all wonderful places to visit, but for this podcast, I'm going to focus just on the national parks. There are 5 national parks in Utah and I've been to all of them. They each are very different, even though they are all in the same state, and some within an hour of each other. Each have their own rock formation which give them their personality. And, besides Utah, you can only see crazy and unique rock formations similar to these in about a half dozen other places worldwide. This is what makes the parks in Utah to so special. Let's start off in the north. Arches Moab, UT Visit Arches to discover a landscape of contrasting colors, land forms and textures unlike any other in the world. The park has over 2,000 natural stone arches, in addition to hundreds of soaring pinnacles, massive fins and giant balanced rocks. This red-rock wonderland will amaze you with its formations, refresh you with its trails, and inspire you with its sunsets. Canyonlands Moab, UT Canyonlands invites you to explore a wilderness of countless canyons and fantastically formed buttes carved by the Colorado River and its tributaries. Rivers divide the park into four districts: Island in the Sky, The Needles, The Maze, and the rivers themselves. These areas share a primitive desert atmosphere, but each offers different opportunities for sightseeing and adventure. In the South Bryce Canyon Bryce Canyon, UT Hoodoos (irregular columns of rock) exist on every continent, but here is the largest concentration found anywhere on Earth. Situated along a high plateau at the top of the Grand Staircase, the park's high elevations include numerous life communities, fantastic dark skies, and geological wonders that defy description. Zion Springdale, UT Follow the paths where ancient native people and pioneers walked. Gaze up at massive sandstone cliffs of cream, pink, and red that soar into a brilliant blue sky. Experience wilderness in a narrow slot canyon. Zion’s unique array of plants and animals will enchant you as you absorb the rich history of the past and enjoy the excitement of present day adventures.

Curator of Collections Sarah Keeling takes Rob Pearman on a guided 'audio' tour around the new St Albans Museum + Gallery, from the main entrance and the timeline into every exhibition and display space including the Weston Gallery, the Benefactors’ Walk of Fame, the Courtroom and Cells, the Grand Staircase and the Assembly Room.
Announcing the actions in Salt Lake City, President Trump has removed some 2 million acres from the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments and split the two monuments into five. Bears Ears was split into two separate areas: Shash Jaa at 129,980 acres and Indian Creek at 71,896 acres. Together the two comprise 201,876 acres, as compared to the 1.35 million acres that President Barack Obama named last December. Grand Staircase, named by President Bill Clinton in 1996, has been divided into three monuments: Grand Staircase at 209,993 acres, Kaiparowits at 551,034 acres and Escalante Canyon at 242,836 acres. The combined areas covered by monument status in the former Grand Staircase Escalante national monument is just over 1 million acres, down from 1.9 million acres originally designated.
In our very first episode, Bryan Schott and Rep. Mike Winder offer a prognosis following the House vote on health care. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is coming to Utah to visit Bears Ears and Grand Staircase. Is either national monument in trouble? There may or may not (but likely will) be a special election coming up to replace republican Jason Chaffetz in Congress. Who should set the rules for that election? Will democrats be left out? Utah's schools are caught up in a teacher salary "arms race" to attract and retain teachers. The fallout from the University of Utah health care imbroglio results in a black eye for the Salt Lake Tribune, one of the state's biggest newspapers. Rep. Winder discusses his proposal to turn the Jordan River into a state park. Plus, we play a political "simultaneous game."
Utah's Legislature passes resolutions on Grand Staircase and Bears Ears National Monuments. Betsy DeVos is confirmed as Secretary of Education…and Utahns react. Several thousand march on the Utah Capitol in protest over President' Trump's immigration policy.
