As a native New Yorker, I’ve passed by St. Patrick’s Cathedral hundreds, if not thousands of times in my life. Last Sunday, I was by St. Patrick’s Cathedral for the Easter Bonnet Parade and Festival,…
There’s a lot of excellent examples of the difference between a million and a billion, but here’s my new personal favorite from a conversation I had today:
A million minutes ago was April 2021, the height of the COVID pandemic.
A billion minutes ago was November 121 CE, the height of the Roman Empire.
Hundreds of Jews and allies... took over NBC’s famed 30 Rockefeller Center headquarters in NYC to disrupt [Joe Biden's] appearance on [Late Night with Seth Meyers] and make it clear that supporters of genocide are not welcome in our city. 50 protesters were arrested.
President Biden’s deadly foreign policy has expedited weapons sales to Israel, ignored the World Court’s determination that Israel is committing genocide, suspended funding to UNRWA, and vetoed three UN ceasefire resolutions.
The growing public consensus on the need to prevent further loss of life in Gaza as the death toll eclipses 30,000 cannot be denied. Yet President Biden has still pledged an additional $14.1 billion in military funding to Israel.
The President needs to start answering to the American people – not the far-Right Israeli government indiscriminately bombing the people of Gaza, destroying 70% of infrastructure, including hospitals, universities and the electricity and water grids.
A Scene From 1973 Film "Sylvie" Showing the Twin Towers of World Trade Center
This is a scene from 1973 film "Sylvie" by Klaus Lemke that showing the Twin Towers of World Trade Center in 1973 upon completion in 1973. Here the Twin Towers were in the finishing stage. You can also see 5 WTC and 6 WTC here (black building next to the north tower).
As we know that the Twin Towers were constructed using the framed tube structure design, from 0:40 to 0:59 you can see the core of the Twin Towers, especially the south tower (because at that time there were no tenants occupying it).
You also can see Klaus Lemke, the director of this film, on the top of the Twin Towers with Sylvie Winter as the main casts for this film. This is a good film, you can watch the full film on YouTube. This film was released in 1973 in West Germany.
