![]() ![]() ![]() My protracted research into Kissinger the policymaker during the period from 1968 through 1973 would lead me to agree emphatically with one part of Spengler’s observation: Kissinger, most of the time, did not know what he was doing (e.g., the evacuation of Saigon, the overthrow of Salvador Allende, and the move to DefCon 3 during the 1973 Yom Kippur War). Spengler asserted that “Often enough a statesman does not ‘know’ what he is doing, but that does not prevent him from following with confidence just the one path that leads to success” (19). The west requires nothing so much as men able to create their own reality” (Grandin, 16). “There are two kinds of realists,” Kissinger wrote in 1963, “those who manipulate facts and those who create them. In his senior thesis, which ultimately evolved into his most recent book, World Order, Kissinger declared his support for what today is referred to as radical relativism, to wit, that there is no such thing as absolute truth truth was what one deduced from his or her own solitary perspective. History and circumstance imposed restraints-“necessity”-but the free individual could act within limits to change destiny. Deeply influenced by Spengler and Immanuel Kant, Kissinger argued that individuals possess instinct, intuition, and, most important, will, all of which can be brought to bear when statesmen make decisions. His education, spearheaded by William Yandell Elliot, had consisted primarily of philosophy, especially the metaphysics of political milieus. Kissinger’s senior thesis at Harvard was written during the immediate post–World War II period when existentialism was entering its heyday. But Kissinger did not embrace Spengler’s historical inevitability, the notion that civilizations rise and fall in a never-ending cycle, but rather the freedom of the individual to act within the constraints of history. The most profound intellectual influence on Kissinger, Grandin asserts, was Oswald Spengler, author of The Decline of the West. No, there are deep metaphysical roots to his wrong-doing. Grandin rejects the notion that Kissinger was a mere political opportunist willing to sell his intellectual independence to the highest bidder. In his introduction, Grandin declares that the focus of his work is not on Kissinger’s “outsized personality” but his effect on the contemporary world that accepts war as a more or less permanent state of affairs. The former is a sweeping, penetrating effort to hold Kissinger accountable for his sins and trace them to their ideological origins the latter, the first of two projected volumes, is a combination of first-rate biography and hagiography. The latest offerings in the struggle over Kissinger’s legacy are Greg Grandin’s Kissinger’s Shadow: The Long Reach of America’s Most Controversial Statesman and Niall Ferguson’s Kissinger, 1923–1968: The Idealist. It included a single sentence of criticism which elicited a nine-page, single-spaced rebuttal. ![]() George Ball told me that he had once written a laudatory review of one of Kissinger’s books. I suspect, given my historiographical acquaintance with him, that nothing pleases him more, although he probably could do without the criticism. No figure in the history of contemporary American foreign policy has gotten more ink than Henry A. ![]() ![]() It's time to show them who truly has the power, for in the words of Paul Atreides, "The power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it."

I felt really dumb for not going into the post office and paying the expediting fee the minute we got all of our documents, especially knowing that we wasted a week waiting to be able to apply for that same-day appointment in Miami that wasn’t going to happen. Unfortunately, on Monday, I got a cheery recorded message saying that due to unforeseen circumstances my appointment had been canceled and I had to call the information center back for more information. appointment, then kill time until they were ready. (It was not.) All we had to do was drive a little more than an hour and be on time for our 8:30 a.m. So that’s what I did, getting an appointment on my actual birthday, which seemed like good luck. So I called the National Passport Information Center and was advised to wait another week, until my travel date was within two weeks, and then make an appointment for Miami. By the time we got everything, we had about four weeks to go, and I was paranoid about something going wrong and not getting them back in time (Something actually did go wrong! Who knew?) My personal travel plans were not an emergency - I’ve had my tickets for months - but it took a while to compile all of the documents I needed, including a certified copy of my son’s adoption decree, which had to be ordered from Maryland, as well as a new copy of his birth certificate. Post office with proof that you are traveling within 2-3 weeks, or make that appointment at the nearest passport agency which can produce documents while you wait. But every travel situation doesn’t allow that time, and so if you need a passport faster, you can either go to an acceptance center, like a local U.S. Obviously, it’s easier to get a passport if you have time to wait the normal 6-8 weeks that it takes to mail the application and have the passport processed, because it’s always better to do things early. It was actually cheaper to go to Atlanta and get a hotel room for one night (about $185 per person for the three of us) and then pay for the passport (between $170-195 for processing with the expediting fee depending on the type of passport.) We could have used an expediting service like Rush My Passport, but to guarantee that we’d get our passports in time, it would have cost more than $500 each. So instead of an hour-long car trip to Miami, my mother, son and I will be taking a hurried, unscheduled flight to Atlanta, for an appointment at the passport agency there to get those precious blue booklets with the shiny gold seal on the front so we can take our planned Caribbean vacation. But that doesn’t help those like myself and my family who are traveling within that deadline, had made appointments at that very office to get same-day passports, and, with this ill-timed closure, find themselves either headed out of state or ponying up big money for that courier service. While Miami Passport Agency Director Ryan Dooley told the Herald on Tuesday that there would hopefully be satellite offices open by Friday, those offices would not be able to print same-day passports like the permanent Miami one. Senator Bill Nelson (D-Fl), who had gotten calls from worried constituents, according to his press secretary Ryan Brown, sent a letter to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson requesting a temporary office open until the permanent one is ready. On Monday, the State Department announced that the office, located in the Omni Building, was undergoing repairs, so even people whose passports were being processed there and might be ready to be distributed were out of luck for the time being because of safety issues, according to the Miami Herald. It’s a giant mess and a lot of people are, without warning, caught up in it. Panicked would-be travelers reported fearing missing family funerals in South America or not being able to get their new babies a passport without leaving the state. ![]() That leaves people who absolutely need a passport or visa in less than two weeks scrambling for a solution, either delaying their trips, taking a chance and a bath on an expensive private courier service, or traveling to the next closest office in Atlanta - a more than 8-hour drive from West Palm Beach- or New Orleans - more than 11 hours - to get what they need. ![]() RELATED: Need a passport ASAP? Miami office closed But a water pipe that burst last Sunday, badly damaging the downtown Miami building that houses the offices has those offices closed for at least the next few weeks. Every year, approximately 90,000 - 100,000 people come through the Miami Passport Agency, a division of the State Department, to get expedited passports. ![]() ![]() ![]() 3) Helps you identify patternsĪnother benefit of habit tracking is that it can help you identify patterns in your behavior. Tip #3: Combine your habit tracker with these cute vision board templates. This is incredibly motivating for long-term goals because you can see how far you’ve come. Habit tracking can also help you see your progress over time. This can be especially helpful when it comes to building new habits. And once you’re on a winning streak some days in a row, you start to avoid breaking that chain.

It’s excellent if you want to track statistics, such as how often you’ve completed a habit in a certain time or your average streak length. This is a more detailed way to track your habits. Usually, you can also get a reminder, so that’s a handy feature a paper tracker can’t do. These apps allow you to track more than just one habit and often come with other features, such as goal setting and tracking your progress. There are several apps to track your habits: such as Habitica, Habitify, Loop, and Beeminder. If you’re not into habit tracking on paper, use a habit tracker app. If you’re not into bullet journaling and still want a tracker that is aesthetically pleasing and cute, a printable habit tracker is a great option (and my favorite way to track habits). All you need to do is create a list of the habits that you want to track and then check them off each day as you complete them. This is a very simple way to track your habits, especially if you’re just starting out. Track your habits in a notebook or planner The method you use will largely depend on how many habits you want to follow, how visual you are, and how detailed you want the tracking to be.

Very little character development outside of Yugi, Joey or Kaiba.Each episode left you wanting to know more about the outcome of the battle, and push you to know more about what’s going to go down for our heroes and villains. The storyline was coherent and gripping.The animation of this series was well done, especially when it comes to those related to the monster cards coming to life.One major complaint is that sometimes the battles drag on for too many episodes however, I actually enjoyed this because of the drama factor. Lots of epic battles and memorable moments that I still remember to this day, even though it’s been years since I’ve watched the whole series for example, Yugi and Kaiba’s first battle ( EXODIA OBLITERATE!!), Kaiba and Ziegfried’s duel, and the battles during the Orichalcos era. Following his defeat and the restoration of everything to normal, we are taken to Ancient Egypt where Yugi must settle a score with an ancient spirit that has its origins to a time before Christ. Lastly, the final arc brings our characters to one more tournament series, with another villain: Ziegried von Schroeder, a rival of Kaiba.Following the Battle City Arc is the Orichalcos Arc where Yugi, Kaiba and Joey must face off against a cult of duelists led by Dartz, who use their power from a card known as the Seal of Orichalcos which absorbs the soul of the losing duelist – turning the game into no longer just a game, but a matter of life and death.That’s not stopping us, of course, from witnessing the tumultuous events of the Finals between Yugi, Joey, Marik and Odion. This series has been widely criticized by many as useless filler, and I can agree that to a certain extent it’s useless, but it also features some very exciting duels. In between the Battle City Arc events (the Finals in particular), we are treated to the Virtual World Arc, which features Seto Kaiba’s brother (?) Noah who wants to get revenge on Yugi and Kaiba for supposedly having harmed him in a past encounter.One of these individuals who seeks out these God Cards is Marik Ishtar, an Egyptian rogue who wants to obtain them for his own power. Here, Yugi and his friends face off against a squadron of elite duelists in order to not only capture the duelist champion title, but to also obtain three of the most powerful cards in the universe: the God Cards (Obelisk The Tormentor, Slifer The Sky Dragon, and the Winged Dragon of Ra).

It’s the story, and quite particularly the action that goes along with it. And it’s all thanks to this anime that it’s the big reason. The popularity of this anime was so widespread, that it facilitated sales of the trading cards (of which I am a proud owner of about a thousand of them), tournaments and left a lasting legacy among the anime community. This season of Yu-Gi-Oh is the one that most anime fans grew up with, and are most familiar with when they hear the aforementioned terms. Fast forward about a year or so later after the season’s inception, and we get another season of Yu-Gi-Oh where Yugi takes on a wide range of people via card games. Back in January of this year, I wrote a blog post where I reviewed the pilot season of the Yu-Gi-Oh series, which featured our lead character Yugi taking down villains through means of “Shadow Games” of various kinds.

![]() ![]() The 1927 span was temporarily used to hold eastbound traffic while the 1958 eastbound span underwent a seismic retrofit, deck and superstructure rehabilitation, and painting to extend its serviceable life. The decision was made to replace it with a new suspension bridge. Route 40, and ultimately Interstate 80.Īfter the Loma Prieta earthquake engineers determined that the aging 1927 span was seismically unstable, and that a retrofit was impossible. With the bridge completed, the Lincoln Highway was realigned to cross the Sacramento River, then proceed southwest through Davis and Vallejo, across the Carquinez Bridge, and along the shores of the San Pablo and San Francisco bays to Richmond and Oakland becoming U.S. The Carquinez Bridge provided a welcome alternative route from the Central Valley to the Bay Area, one that no longer required loading one's vehicle onto and off of a ferry. Once the bridge was built however, driving from Sacramento to the East Bay became much more direct. For decades, building a bridge across the Carquinez Strait was considered prohibitively expensive and technologically risky. This circuitous route, several miles longer, and traversing a rather formidable mountain pass, was preferable to crossing the Carquinez Strait, a deep channel with strong currents and frequent high winds. Route 50 and ultimately Interstates 5, 205, and 580. The preferred option, given the engineering limitations of the day, was to skirt around the Delta by going south from Sacramento through Stockton, then proceeding west across the San Joaquin River and over the Altamont Pass, and finally reaching Oakland from the south a route that would later become U.S. This historic transcontinental roadway's original alignment, like the Transcontinental Railroad that preceded it nearly sixty years earlier, chose to avoid crossing the Carquinez Strait entirely. Upon its completion, the span became part of the Lincoln Highway. It was the first major crossing of the San Francisco Bay and a significant technological achievement in its time. Prior to this, crossing the Carquinez Strait necessitated the use of ferries. The original steel cantilever bridge was designed by Robinson & Steinman and dedicated on May 21, 1927. Ferry service at the site of the bridge started in 1913 by the Rodeo-Vallejo Ferry Company. A train ferry operated between Benicia and Porta Costa from 1879 until 1930 when a rail bridge opened. Auto service started on this route in 1913. ![]() The first regular crossing of the Carquinez Strait began in the mid-1800s as a ferry operated between the cities of Benicia and Martinez, six miles upstream from the bridge site. The Alfred Zampa Memorial Bridge carries southbound traffic from Vallejo to Crockett, and the 1958 cantilever span carries northbound traffic. Later, seismic problems made the 1927 span unsafe in case of an earthquake, and led to the construction, and 2003 opening, of a replacement: a suspension bridge officially named the Alfred Zampa Memorial Bridge, in memory of iron worker Al Zampa, who played an integral role in the construction of numerous San Francisco Bay Area bridges. A second parallel cantilever bridge was completed in 1958 to deal with the increased traffic. The name Carquinez Bridge originally referred to a single cantilever bridge built in 1927, which was part of the direct route between San Francisco and Sacramento. They form the part of Interstate 80 between Crockett and Vallejo, California. The Carquinez Bridge is a pair of parallel bridges spanning the Carquinez Strait at the northeastern end of San Francisco Bay. $3.50 (carpool rush hours, FasTrak only).FasTrak or pay-by-plate, cash not accepted.November 11, 2003 19 years ago ( ) (westbound) November 25, 1958 64 years ago ( ) (eastbound) May 21, 1927 96 years ago ( ) (original span) ![]() ![]() ![]() British navy blue, originally called marine blue, was slowly accepted as official color for majority of navies all over the world. There are very pragmatic reasons for so many different tints of blue (or other colors). There are actually five more Cadet Blue colors, their names being differentiated with numbers only:Īnd we can present at least five examples officially belonging to the family of navy blue colors as well! Its relative cadet blue is softer and even more appropriate for young people or less ceremonial occasions. Navy blue, classical color of authority, can be used in very playful ways too, as we can see in the photo above. Let’s get back to Earth and repressive apparatus where blue instantly creates the feeling of respect and authority. Soft blue tones are especially popular for little boys Palate, president, celestial and imperium all belong to that category. As we already mentioned, blue is named after the queen. We are not finished with supreme authority yet. #3333FF Royal Blue (Safe Hex3) aka Neon Blue Here are a few more examples of Royal Blue: Simply naming colors with numbers seemed a practical idea, yet it doesn’t guarantee the standardization. It’s actually pretty interesting to find out how many ways are to make color blue, which is szpposed to be a so-called basic or primary color.Īround 1950 another, lighter shade of blue became known as royal and with an introduction of computer graphics (plus numerous limitations, which were gradually changed) and so called web safe colors, we got almost more than we can handle. Especially addition of red led to dramatic changes, what can be seen at royal purple above. With addition of white or black we can instantly create dozens of shades and tints for the same color and with different processes of production and addition of some red or yellow inevitably followed.

Its effect on human psychology is in most cases calming and ancient culture associated it heaven and gods. It is no coincidence police uniforms are so often blue or mainly of blue color. Each color carries its own story and this article is touching dozens of them.īlue is used to express and emphasize authority for many centuries. We’ll try to present as many blue tints and hues as possible in slightly different arrangement as you might expect. On the other hand several blue colors are known under more than one name.
