It hurts. I feel burned, in the sense of the sun. I feel like going indoors and rubbing Solarcaine on myself. I may go indoors forever. Maybe forever. -- Erich Segal, 1971
Poor Erich Segal. He says he didn't mean it. Any of it.
He knows he acted like a jerk. He knows that going on Johnny Carson four times in four weeks was a bit much. He knows that when success hit, at the age of 31, with a slim, two-hankie volume called "Love Story" that sold 11 million copies in America alone and prompted its brash, verbose author to compare himself to Shakespeare, he couldn't handle it.
Any of it. The money, the fame, the envy, the press. And now he's back, at the age of 47, with his fourth novel, "The Class," the saga of five Harvard graduates and the price they pay for success.
Segal says a lot about success. Except the one thing you want him to say.
He still doesn't say he's sorry.
"I was incredibly ambitious, obnoxiously ambitious, intolerantly ambitious." He went to "excessive lengths of self-indulgence and self-love. Narcissism is the wrong word. But egotism certainly, bordering on megalomania.
"Self-intoxication is probably the best word."
Buoyed beyond his dreams ("I had helium in my shoes"), the son of a Brooklyn rabbi willingly gabbed in interviews and on talk shows, signed books for the lavender-haired ladies and flew 100,000 miles across the country succumbing to the amorous advances of eager female fans who didn't realize that the diminutive Yale classics professor ("I was one step above a nerd") and creator of the country's bestselling treacle didn't have two dates while he was an undergraduate at Harvard.
"I was swept up," he says now in a hesitant near-stutter. "I stayed on the magic carpet as long as it was up. The book was followed by the paperback, which was followed by the film."
Then, like Cool Whip left on the counter too long, Segal congealed.
"I wore out my welcome," he says quietly.
Suddenly, just as many people (one out of every five Americans, according to a Gallup poll) who had wept over the story of preppy Oliver Barrett IV losing his harpsichord-playing Radcliffe wife Jenny Cavilleri to leukemia were now sneering at it.
The backlash was swift and deadly. "Love Story" was nominated for a National Book Award in 1971, then pulled from the competition after protests from the five-member panel headed by author William Styron, who called the work "inferior . . . a banal book."
Segal says now it wasn't the book they were criticizing. It was the author. "I think I contributed to that myself by delighting in my success. You're supposed to be humble. I could have said, 'I didn't know what I was doing' or 'I don't deserve it.' "
What Segal did say is a matter of public, humiliating record.
"I'm kind of a folk hero at Yale," he was fond of saying. "The closest thing to a Beatle." He told interviewers he was glad he hadn't written "Portnoy's Complaint." He didn't like all that sex. "Shakespeare wrote a pretty good love story called 'Romeo and Juliet,' and the story was more important than what went on between the sheets," he told New York magazine.
He allowed as how he just might be the F. Scott Fitzgerald of his generation. "Little did I know that I was creating a whole style that was perfect for the '70s," he told Nora Ephron in Esquire.
He is sitting in his hotel suite, a symphony in blue: blue serge pants, blue V-neck pullover, blue and white striped shirt and tie. His body is frail and sickly, his face shockingly thin. His huge brown eyes look like Oreos against his milk-white pallor.
His publicist says he is suffering from "a nerve disorder," and his left hand trembles. The only reason his right hand doesn't tremble is because he's sitting on it. He no longer runs marathons.
"I almost died in 1982. I've not really recovered. I had a blood disease that they thought was leukemia. Actually, it was the reverse. It was red blood cells. One of the young doctors said to my wife, 'Wouldn't it be funny if he had leukemia just like Jenny Cavilleri?' "
One thing is certain about Erich Segal's kind of success.
"You never feel it's going to end. You never think the cheering's going to stop."
But the cheering did stop, and Segal says it just might have had something to do with him.
"I talk too much."
The year after "Love Story" was published, he was denied tenure at Yale. Bitterly disappointed, he went into self-imposed exile in Europe, teaching at the University of Munich. He wrote a sequel, "Oliver's Story," in 1977, and another, less successful novel four years later, "Man, Woman and Child."
Segal's luck had run out. But he didn't turn to drugs or drink.
"My mouth was destructive enough."
Instead, he got into therapy and married an English book editor, Karen James. Only then did he understand why he had sabotaged his own career.
"It didn't take more than 50 minutes for me to learn what I had done wrong. That was clear. The question is why."
And the answer?
He hesitates. Not sure he wants to reveal the reason. Is he talking too much again?
"I felt guilty about all that success. I was getting too much. Feeling guilty about what I had. I didn't deserve it. I was, in essence, a wonk, so why am I suddenly chosen as a hero?"
But success didn't kill Erich Segal. It knocked him down and spit in his face and slandered his name all over the place, and now he's back for more.
"I like the fact that I could recover from all this and write a book," he says confidently. "I'm not here touting myself. I'm trying to call attention to this book. He who does not promote his book does not get his book in the bookstores."
"The Class," for which he received a reported $1 million advance from Bantam Books, is already in its third printing with 140,000 copies and is a Dual Main Selection of the Literary Guild. Although it hit the New York Times best-seller list at No. 10 a week after publication and is already No. 4, the book has been creamed by the critics.
Publishers Weekly described it as "unabashedly slick," saying the author "makes no attempt at real character development." Newsweek, which called Segal's brand of literature "junk fiction," said "The Class" is "so simple-minded that one can only assume Segal's word processor is programmed to supply cliche's as adroitly as it corrects his spelling."
The New York Times faulted its "dead language," and said the author "opts for the cliche' almost every time."
There's a reason for that. Just as "Love Story" was the first book written as a screenplay, "The Class" may be the first book written as a mini-series. Several producers are bidding as we speak for the rights, Segal says, checkbooks in hand. Five love stories, he says, eyes widening, the chance for five male stars and six female stars to clod across the country's screens for two or three nights running. Think of it. Segal won't have to do a thing but pencil in "pan to" and "fade out."
Not surprisingly, he says it is "with great trepidation" that he faces the press.
"I won't try and obfuscate the fact that I wanted to regain the public that I lost," he says. "I wanted to have popular success."
And writing for the populace means, as it did with "Love Story," reducing plot and language to the lowest common denominator. Was it a deliberate attempt on Segal's part to repeat the bestselling formula?
"I don't think I consciously pandered -- I may have unconsciously pandered -- but I definitely wanted to be read again."
He says he knows he's not a great writer. Not like Updike or Mailer or Vonnegut.
"It's a question of being Mozart or Salieri," he says. "There's no question that I'm Salieri." A small smile. "But Salieri had it better."
He was born in Brooklyn in 1937. Even as a child, he knew he wanted to be a writer. After track practice at Midwood High School (where he was president of the school), he would take the subway to night classes at a seminary.
At Harvard (Class of 1958), Segal was salutatorian and class poet. During his college days he began writing musicals. At Yale, where he was a classics Teaching Fellow, he wrote the screenplay for "Yellow Submarine" in 1967 and fulfilled his lifelong wish to have his name appear in Variety.
It was a schizophrenic time for Segal, trying to balance his Latin-scholar background with his nouveau turtleneck-and-$40-haircut Hollywood image.
He says he worked from 1958 to 1971 "publishing, teaching, doing those extra things that are supposed to win brownie points for you, going around speaking at Yale clubs, raising money for the university, being a good boy."
But then he wrote "Love Story."
The next year he was denied tenure.
"I lost what I loved best," he says sadly. "I'll never recover what I lost. It took me 10 years to realize I wanted it that badly. I admit it now only because I'm more mature."
At the "height of the furor," he says, "I was crossing Harvard Square, and coming across the other way was none other than John Kenneth Galbraith. I have to drop the name because I'm quoting him and this is an absolutely true anecdote. As we were in midstreet, he said, 'Erich, you made one mistake. You should have done like I did. Waited until you got tenure to write your novel.' "
Segal says he was accused of "being a pawn of the Nixon administration, providing an opiate to those people who would otherwise be out demonstrating.
"I remember one lecture I gave. The one question was, 'How much did Spiro Agnew pay you to write "Love Story"?' I said, 'What's the connection?' They said, 'To distract people from the Vietnam war.'
"I had to laugh."
And he kept laughing. All the way to the money market.
" 'Love Story' is important for only one reason. It was a cultural phenomenon. It was an index of its time and it stands still."
Kurt Vonnegut, damning with faint praise, once said that criticizing "Love Story" was like criticizing a chocolate e'clair.
"I'd rather be treated as a chocolate e'clair," Segal says now, "than as some traitor to great literature. It makes me a confectioner of something, something pleasurable."
He leans forward, his left hand trembling.
"I'll never be a great literateur. I read on the plane down here a short story by John Updike. I said, 'That's real writing. That's mellifluous,' if you will. I can't do it. I wish I could write not like Updike, but like Mailer. It's such muscular prose. It's so vi-tal."
He says he yearns to become a member of the Great American Writers club, whose members include Mailer, Vonnegut, Styron, Cheever.
"I would," he says. "I would like to be held in the same esteem as Irwin Shaw. If they write on my tombstone, 'He tells a good story,' I'll be satisfied."
But he knows it's a long shot.
He says, simply, "I can't do any better."
He lives in England now, with his wife and young daughter. "I live in Hampstead, the writers' ghetto. John le Carre' lives here," he says, left hand stabbing the air, "Kingsley Amis lives here. Down the block John Keats died, up the block Byron lived for a summer. Coleridge died in Highgate, which I can see from my window."
Where does he fit in?
Erich Segal wrote "The Class" after attending his 25-year college reunion. It took him two years on a word processor. It has 592 pages. But the chapters are only two or three pages long.
"It's a profile of my generation," he says broadly. "Of what people gave up. Of their priorities."
One of the characters attains enormous success, acts like a jerk because he is guilty over that success, then is felled by a mysterious nervous disorder that forces him to reexamine his priorities.
"In every successful person there is the feeling of unworthiness," Segal explains. "There may be exceptions. Maybe John Wayne was an exception."
But is the new Erich Segal's rationalization for his previous behavior believable? Or is it a convenient excuse, a way of saying it wasn't his fault?
"What happened to me was a kind of heroic coronation. I didn't deserve to be king."

Artist’s benefit from the reproductions in many ways, such as, making their work much more famous and increase the audience, alongside its market value, however, reproductions of an artist’s creations don’t entirely have an actual demonstration of the author’s work.

All of these are effects that alter a painting through the reproductions in the pixel world.

- Throughout his argument against aesthetics, Heidegger strongly states he believes in the true “work of art” and believes that this aesthetic approach goes against this. One artist that Heidegger particularly discusses is Vincent Van Gogh. He uses works of art by Van Gogh in order to give more power to his argument. Through works of art such as Van Gogh’s A Pair of Shoes, Heidegger makes his a distinction between artwork and things.

Lawyers at the Malaysian Bar’s AGM have called on the government to ensures that all employers, especially GLCs, respect worker and trade union rights, reports Charles Hector.
At the 68th Annual General Meeting of the Malaysian Bar on Saturday, 15 March 2014, attended by 1,219 members, four resolutions were adopted.
One of those adopted, was the resolution on worker and trade union rights. The resolution adopted is as follows:
Resolution on domestic inquiries, misconduct and respect for worker and trade union rights in Malaysia
- Sign up for Aliran's free daily email updates or weekly newsletters or both
- Make a one-off donation to Persatuan Aliran Kesedaran Negara, CIMB a/c 8004240948
- Make a pledge or schedule an auto donation to Aliran every month or every quarter
- Become an Aliran member
(1) It is disturbing how many worker and trade union rights are not protected by law in Malaysia, and the embarrassing failures of government-linked companies (GLCs) to set the best example in protecting and respecting worker and trade union rights.
(2) In May 2013,18 workers from 2 DRB HICOM, a government-linked company, were terminated because they handed over a Malaysian Trade Unions Congress (MTUC) memorandum demanding commitment to worker and trade union rights during the last General Elections. The workers exercised their rights as citizens when they handed this MTUC memorandum outside working hours. Amongst those terminated were union leaders, including the Pahang MTUC branch president.
The misconduct these workers are accused of were:
3) (a) undermining the image or good name of the company orally, in writing or by action,
(b) bringing about or trying to bring about any form of influence or outside pressure in submitting or supporting any external claim related to service, being an individual claim, or claims by other employees.
(4) The second alleged misconduct is absurd, as in fighting against injustice, workers and their unions would certainly try to lobby and get support from fellow workers, members of the public, and others in an effort to end injustice or rights violations.
(5) A Domestic Inquiry was held in the case of the 18 workers, but they were denied the right to be represented by their national union. They were only allowed to be represented by a fellow worker from their workplace. The Collective Bargaining Agreement was between the National Union and the said DRB HICOM companies.
(6) On 29 November 2013, the president of the National Union of Flight Attendants Malaysia (Nufam) was terminated. He had issued a media statement as president of the union, but, Malaysian Airlines (MAS), a GLC, alleged that Ismail Nasaruddin, the union president, had acted in contradiction of his duties as a chief steward of the airline by issuing the statement. (Malaysiakini, 14 November 2011, MAS suspends chief steward for criticising CEO). He was terminated without any Domestic Inquiry.
(7) In February 2014, MAS issued show cause letters to about 30 employees for their alleged participation in an ‘illegal gathering’ at the Human Resource Ministry. This is absurd, as it is a fundamental right for workers and/or their unions to file complaints and make representations to the government, including the Human Resource Minister.
(8) Disciplinary action has also been started against workers for comments made on their union’s closed Facebook pages.
(9) To control workers ability to highlight rights violations and injustice, their freedom of expression, opinion and peaceful assembly, during their free time, seems to be the trend of action taken by employers.
(10) Companies and businesses should never terminate a worker for reasons other than matters that relate to work performance and/or their conduct as a workers save in very exceptional cases. For instance, when a worker is convicted of a criminal offence. The Industrial Relations Act 1967 also prohibits employers from discriminating against, threatening or terminating workers for their involvement in trade unions.
(11) Natural justice also demands that no worker should be terminated without a Domestic Inquiry, and the right to be heard, and defended by a lawyer, a Union representative or a fellow worker of their choice. The Employment Act 1955 only provides for ‘due inquiry’ but this is insufficient to ensure this right is given to all workers. It fails to clarify that this means a Domestic Inquiry, how it is to be conducted, and the right to be represented by a lawyer or Union. The failure of the employer to have a ‘due inquiry’ or Domestic Inquiry is not considered by the Industrial Court in wrongful dismissal cases.
(12) Misconduct is also not clearly defined by, or set out in law, and this is urgently needed given the trend that some employers have been expanding the types of misconduct – even beyond the workplace, infringing on workers’ personal liberties and rights.
(13) Wrongful dismissal cases, affecting workers and their families, take too long to be resolved, sometimes even 10 years; ultimately, the Courts will not order the employees’ reinstatement. This emboldens employers to wrongly terminate workers, especially union or worker leaders, and others claiming their rights, knowing that they have effectively got rid of these workers.
(14) Malaysia, being a member of the international community, must also act in accordance with International Standards including Ruggie’s Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights: Implementing the United Nations “Protect, Respect and Remedy” Framework , where in cases of government-linked companies like MAS and DRB HICOM, the obligation is even greater. The Guiding Principles state that “States should take additional steps to protect against human rights abuses by business enterprises that are owned or controlled by the State, or that receive substantial support and services from State…”.
(15) No worker, group of workers, or unions should be barred from making public statements to the media or otherwise in the struggle for workers rights and human rights. This right is clearly acknowledged in the Declaration on the Right and Responsibility of Individuals, Groups and Organs of Society to Promote and Protect Universally Recognised Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, commonly known today as the UN Human Rights Defenders Declaration.
We hereby resolve:
(1) That the Malaysian government ensures that all employers, especially Government-Linked Companies (GLC) respect worker and trade union rights;
(2) That the Malaysian government take additional steps to protect against human rights abuses by business enterprises that are owned or controlled by the State, or that receive substantial support and services from State…”; and
(3) That Malaysia immediately ratifies ILO Convention No 87 (Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948) and other important labour conventions.

Sow annual flowers now for a spectacular display of colour and beauty later in the summer.
Annual flowers are brilliant value as they are unfussy, and just as happy in the ground or roomy pots. They need a sunny spot but don’t mind poor soil and in fact grow better without extra fertiliser. You can sow them straight into damp soil any time from now until the end of June for cutting flowers for the house, to fill gaps in your borders, or just to fill your garden with beauty for months on end.
You’ll find a mouthwatering selection on our seed racks here at the garden centre in Chorley right now, from stately sky-blue cornflowers and vibrantly colourful rudbeckia to jolly poached egg plants and delicate love-in-a-mist. Pick your favourites, then select a spot in your garden to fill with colour all summer long.
If you’re growing your flowers for cutting, sowing them in neat rows makes it easier to get to them to snip the stems. To display in a bed, scatter them or sow in patches. If you sow in rows within the patch, you’ll find it easier to distinguish your annual flower seedlings from rogue weeds that come up in between.
Prepare the soil carefully, digging over lightly then breaking up any clods of earth. Remove weeds and large stones, and rake lightly to level the surface. Next create shallow, straight drills with the point of a trowel 25-30cm apart, depending on the type of flower (look on the back of the seed packet for the exact distance). Trickle water into the drills from a watering can so you are sowing onto damp soil.
Sow the seed sparingly along the drills and cover with a light sprinkle of soil. They should germinate in about 10 days’ time, with flowers to follow by summer.

Shortly after sunrise on July 28, 1934, 50,000 spectators, scientists, and newsmen from agencies around the world, gathered to see history made. Crowded atop a ring of cliffs that overlooked a natural depression in the Black Hills of western South Dakota, the crowd watched as a gigantic hydrogen-filled balloon—three times larger than any other ever built—slowly ascended with its crew of three into the cloudless South Dakota sky. The liftoff had been letter-perfect, and as the multitude watched the giant craft drift sedately upward and eastward out of sight, even the most pessimistic viewer could hardly have imagined a more disastrous ending to the flight than that which was about to occur.
This unprecedented scientific expedition was the culmination of a complex, well-organized venture sponsored jointly by the National Geographic Society and the budget-constrained U.S. Army Air Corps. The primary objective of the ambitious undertaking was to explore the upper part of the atmosphere that begins 7-10 miles above the earth’s surface—the mysterious region known as the stratosphere—and in so doing, to also take man to the highest altitude ever achieved.
The painstaking planning and preparation seemed to be paying dividends, as the flight proceeded exactly as expected. The three veteran U.S. Army Air Corps balloonists, sealed in their pressurized metal sphere, ascended higher and higher through the peaceful, nearly airless vacuum at 50,000 feet. As they approached increasingly closer to the existing world altitude record of just over 61,000 feet, they optimistically continued to record data from the dozens of sophisticated scientific instruments they carried aloft with them.
Suddenly, as the giant balloon and gondola climbed through 57,000 feet, disaster struck. In the near-vacuum environment of the upper stratosphere, shearing forces from the expanding hydrogen gas contained within the balloon envelope ripped through the rubberized cotton balloon fabric. Several tears resulted—the largest, a gaping 30-foot hole. As the stricken balloon began to lose its buoyant hydrogen gas, it quickly leveled off at just over 60,000 feet—only 624 feet short of the existing record. It then began a steadily accelerating descent to the ground over 11 miles below. For the three men aboard the imperiled craft, the dream of a world record had been rudely disrupted and was about to be replaced by a nightmarish struggle for survival.
High altitude balloon flights were very much in vogue in the early 1930s—so much that between 1931 and l934 alone, the altitude record had changed hands on at least four different occasions. In 1932 a Swiss physicist by the name of Auguste Piccard had managed to ascend to over 10 miles above the earth’s surface in a sealed, pressurized capsule, while in late 1933, U.S Navy Lt. Commander T.G.W. Settle and Marine Corps Major Chester L. Fordney extended the record to 61,237 feet.
This was the existing record to beat when the National Geographic Society and the U.S. Army Air Corps decided to pool resources and cosponsor a balloon flight in 1934. Although the flight was primarily set up as a scientific expedition to explore atmospheric conditions in the stratosphere, it was the secondary goal of establishing a new high-altitude record that attracted world-wide attention.
By previous arrangement, the Air Corps would supply the crew for the flight. Major William E. Kepner, the commanding officer of the expedition, and alternate pilot, Captain Orvil A. Anderson, were both highly experienced airship and balloon pilots. The third crewman, Captain Albert W. Stevens, was the one who had originally conceptualized and proposed the ambitious joint undertaking. A world-renowned aerial photographer and scientist in his own right, he was designated the scientific observer for the flight.
The three Army crew members were aware of the hazards they were about to face. The dangers for humans venturing into the hostile, unforgiving, and still virtually unknown environment which exists several miles above the earth were numerous, and these perils were underscored by several well-documented misadventures suffered by previous high-altitude explorers. Injury or death from frostbite, oxygen starvation, sudden decompression, or a long uncontrolled plunge to the earth below, were the risks that had to be accepted by the pioneer airmen ascending into the dangerous stratosphere.
In 1927—less than six years before the proposed National Geographic-Air Corps flight—fellow U.S. Army balloonist, Capt. Hawthorne C. Gray, mysteriously died after he had ascended in an open basket to just over 42,000 feet. Orvil Anderson was particularly cognizant of this tragedy, since it was he who had flown the chase plane for Gray. And only six months prior to Kepner, Anderson and Stevens’ planned flight, three Russian balloonists had plunged to their deaths after reaching an unprecedented 72,200 feet, a world record had they returned alive. Clearly, the stratosphere was still a powerful and deadly force to be reckoned with.
Much had been learned from previous flights, despite the tragedies which had occurred. Information gained during Piccard’s and Settle’s ascents in closed capsules had been especially useful; however, the extreme weight of the “floating laboratory” to be carried aloft during the proposed National Geographic-Air Corps expedition necessitated even further technological advances. Designing and acquiring the massive balloon needed to carry a payload of several tons to the very edge of outer space required the best balloon technology which existed at the time. Such expertise proved to be readily available from the Goodyear-Zeppelin Corporation in Akron, Ohio, builder of the U.S. Navy dirigibles Akron and Macon. They were contracted to build the balloon, and after five months’ construction time, the mammoth balloon was ready for flight.
The giant balloon, appropriately christened The Explorer, was truly an awesome sight. Over three times larger than any other balloon ever built up to that time, it boasted a capacity of 3 million cubic feet and measured approximately 300 feet tall during liftoff—higher than a 27-story office building. When fully inflated at higher altitudes, it was as wide and deep as it was high, large enough to enclose an 11-story building sideways. The envelope of the balloon consisted of two and a third acres of rubberized, specially selected cotton fabric, which by itself weighed over two and a half tons. It would require nine hours just to inflate the immense bag with hydrogen—the lightest and most buoyant substance in the universe, but unfortunately also one of the most explosively flammable.
A sealed, pressurized compartment would also be required for the upcoming flight. Not only was the capsule necessary to house the dozens of data-collecting instruments and various other pieces of scientific equipment needed for the flight, but more importantly, it was essential to protect the crew members from high altitude atmospheric conditions incompatible with human life. To serve this purpose, a spherical gondola, to be suspended below the huge balloon envelope of The Explorer, was built by the Dow Chemical Company at Midland, Michigan.
The gondola was precisely 100 inches (eight and one-third feet) in diameter and had a wall thickness of only 3/16 inch. It was constructed with a revolutionary new material called Dowmetal, an alloy consisting of 95% pure magnesium. This material was chosen not only because of its strength, but also because it weighed one-third less than aluminum. Glass portholes were strategically located at various places so the crew could see outside the metal ball.
The main purpose of the flight was to gather various types of scientific data from the stratosphere—in all 63 research studies were scheduled; hence, an impressive array of instruments and data-collecting equipment would have to be carried aloft. These came from laboratories and workshops all over the world and included radio and photographic gear, barometers, altimeters, and other flight instruments. Also carried were various sophisticated data-gathering instruments for obtaining outside air samples, and for studying cosmic radiation and the ozone layer.
The total weight of all the components—balloon, gondola, crew, equipment, and necessary ballast—was close to eight tons, and the final cost was a substantial 60,000 Depression-era dollars. To offset the financial loss in the event of a flight-related accident, The Explorer and equipment—as well as the lives of the crew—were insured by Lloyd’s of London.
The only remaining problem was to locate a suitable location where the skyscraper-sized balloon could be safely launched. Due to the uniquely specific requirements of The Explorer, this proved to be a challenging dilemma. A site was needed where the balloon could be fully inflated over a several hour period to over 300 feet high yet be unaffected by winds. The availability of good landing areas within a several-hundred-mile radius of the launch site was also a must, which in effect ruled out coastal and mountainous areas. Finally, the launch site had to be in an area with generally good weather for not only balloon flight, but also the anticipated collection of a wide range of scientific data.
The ideal location was soon discovered. After the National Geographic Society publicly announced that a launch site was being sought for their upcoming high-altitude balloon flight, numerous suggestions were received from public-spirited citizens and organizations across the country. Pilots Kepner and Anderson dutifully traveled to these locations and examined them. However, when Kepner flew over a cliff-encircled, level grassy meadow nestled in the Black Hills of western South Dakota, he is reported to have exclaimed, “God made that spot for a stratosphere flight!”
The striking, natural depression, resembling an amphitheater, was immediately dubbed the “Stratosphere Bowl” or more simply, the “Stratobowl.” Located approximately 11 miles southwest of Rapid City—midway between this picturesque resort town and an obscure granite mountain named after a man named Rushmore, which was currently having some former presidents’ faces carved into the side of it—the Stratobowl seemed ideal for its selected purpose. Completely encircled by steep hills and sheer cliffs extending over 400 feet above its base, the Stratobowl would allow a balloon even as large as The Explorer to be fully extended above the ground during inflation yet remain protected from the winds.
In addition, the surrounding Northern Plains region was characterized by generally good terrain for landing a balloon, while meteorological conditions in the Black Hills area were judged to be nearly perfect for the proposed expedition.
The Stratobowl was therefore leased from the mining company that owned it and a road built down into the basin, so that numerous truckloads of delicate supplies and equipment, as well as hundreds of personnel, could be transported to the launch area. Soon, a bustling tent city, the “Stratocamp,” emerged to house the various technicians, scientists, and specially trained troops required to launch the largest balloon ever built. Sawdust streets were “paved”, and drainage, water, sewage, and electrical systems established. Even a makeshift hospital with an ambulance was set up and a fire department created. Telephone and telegraph lines, as well as two radio stations, kept the Stratocamp in communication with the outside world, while the weather station set up in the camp was equal to any other in the United States.
So, with all preparations made—a top-notch, well-equipped crew, and an ideal launch site selected and ready—the proposed excursion into the stratosphere was scheduled for the summer of 1934. As the time for launch drew nearer, the world seemed to converge on the Black Hills. An estimated 50 to 60 thousand spectators braved the cool early morning air to see The Explorer off on its historic flight. To prevent sightseers from falling or being pushed off the cliffs to the floor of the Stratobowl below, a full mile of peeled spruce rail restraining fence was built along the rim to hold the mob of spectators back.
But now, eight hours after liftoff and eleven miles above the earth, as the balloon envelope continued to unravel, all the meticulous preparations seemed increasingly meaningless. The three crewmen hastily discussed the situation. If the remaining balloon envelope held together, there was still a chance for crew, equipment and gondola to return safely to earth. Status reports were regularly relayed by radio from The Explorer to those observing below throughout the descent. These reports were then rebroadcast over a nation-wide network of National Broadcasting Company radio stations, so all the world followed the plight of The Explorer.
Kepner ordered the gondola door opened, as the stricken balloon and crew continued their forced descent past 20,000 feet and finally into air with enough oxygen to support life. The crewmen then donned individual parachutes, in preparation for a possible emergency exit. By this time much of the hydrogen in the torn envelope of the rapidly descending craft had been lost and replaced by outside air, so that almost all that prevented The Explorer from free-fall was the parachute effect of the torn envelope billowing in the slipstream.
Suddenly, at about 4,000 ft above the earth, the entire bottom of the balloon envelope ripped loose and fell away, leaving a huge 125-foot opening at the bottom of the balloon. Kepner, who by now had exited the gondola and was perched on top of the metal sphere, saw that complete failure could occur at any moment. Reluctantly, he ordered the crew to abandon ship.
Bad luck seemed to be the order of the day. Anderson’s parachute pack had inadvertently popped open earlier inside the gondola when the release handle had snagged on something. There were no extra parachutes, so when he heard Kepner’s frantic command to “Shove off, Anderson!”, there was nothing else for him to do but desperately gather the pile of silk lying on the floor of the gondola under one arm and hope for the best. He leaped backward into space away from the gondola and fell toward the earth, praying the disorganized bundle of cloth he held in his arms would become his salvation. As though by divine intervention—and to Anderson’s immense relief—the canopy instantly filled with air, and he floated safely to earth.
At this moment the volatile hydrogen-air mixture remaining in the remnants of the envelope was somehow ignited, and with a boom heard for miles around, the huge balloon exploded into a million pieces. Immediately, the gondola dropped like a stone in a death plunge to the earth below. As the doomed metal sphere and trailing shreds of fabric hurtled downward, only seconds from violent impact with the earth, Stevens became lodged in the tiny opening of the gondola as he tried to exit into the hundred-mile-an-hour slipstream with the bulky parachute pack strapped to his back. Twice he tried to push himself through the hatch of the gondola, but wind pressure around the free-falling sphere forced him back. Kepner, who was still standing on top of the falling gondola, alertly noticed Stevens’ dilemma. He quickly pulled himself into position and gave Stevens a hard push with his foot. Immediately, Stevens fell away from the plunging gondola.
Kepner glimpsed Stevens’ parachute pop open and flash upward past him as he and the gondola continued their plunge to terra firma below. Finally, at the last possible moment, Kepner too hit the silk. His chute barely opened before he landed heavily in a hard, bone-dry Nebraska cornfield only 200 yards away from the remains of the gondola, which lay crushed to bits like an eggshell. He looked up to see Anderson and Stevens, still leisurely floating downward to safety. Within minutes, hundreds of sightseers—many of whom had followed the balloon in their automobiles all the way from the Stratobowl—crowded around the three shaken but unharmed crewmen and the crumpled corpse of The Explorer.
Tragedy had been narrowly averted, but the flight of The Explorer was a failure. No altitude record had been set, and although some useable data and photographs had been salvaged, most of the scientific instruments and the valuable information they recorded had been destroyed when the gondola impacted the hard earth at terminal velocity.
Nevertheless, the three crewmen of The Explorer had performed superbly and displayed uncommon bravery in remaining with the stricken balloon until the last possible moment. In recognition of their “…extraordinary achievement while participating in an aerial flight…,” they were each awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross by the Secretary of War.
Seemingly undaunted by their brush with death and encouraged by their near success, Anderson and Stevens elected to return to the Stratobowl to join the National Geographic Society in preparing for a second high-altitude attempt. For reasons unknown, Kepner did not participate in the second flight.
Some important changes would be made in preparation for the next attempt. To eliminate the possibility of another explosion, the slightly heavier but nonflammable gas, helium, would be used instead of the explosive hydrogen. In addition, a heavier fabric would be utilized for the balloon envelope, to help avoid a rip like the one which occurred on the first flight. To compensate for the increased weight of the heavier fabric and the helium, the number of crewmen was reduced from three to two, and the already unprecedentedly large balloon volume was increased from 3 million to 3.7 million cubic feet. To help finance the second venture, Lloyd’s of London provided a $30,000 payment as partial compensation for the earlier loss of The Explorer.
The new high-altitude balloon, Explorer II, was ready for flight by the summer of 1935, just one year after the initial attempt. Unfortunately, bad luck continued to plague the expedition. On the morning of July 12, the giant envelope ruptured while being inflated and crumpled to the ground, narrowly avoiding injury to ground crewmen below. It was an additional four months before the necessary repairs were made and weather conditions deemed suitable for yet another attempt.
Finally, on November 11, 1935—Armistice Day—Explorer II lifted off from the Stratobowl on the flight which was to establish a world altitude record that would stand unchallenged for the next 21 years. Except for a heart-stopping moment during takeoff, when a vicious downdraft nearly caused the balloon to crash into the rim of the Stratobowl, the flight proceeded according to plan on this final attempt. Anderson and Stevens rode their pressurized gondola up once more into the Stratosphere, but this time there were no unscheduled stops. The giant balloon ascended uninterrupted until the crew and the ton of scientific apparatus they carried with them reached a world record-breaking altitude of 72,395 feet. Anderson and Stevens managed to maintain an altitude of over 70,000 feet for more than an hour and a half, as they recorded data from the 64 scientific instruments, they had brought aloft with them.
People all around the world listened as the fliers communicated with the earth by short wave radio. Stevens and Anderson conversed with crew and newsmen aboard the China Clipper, which was flying just off the coast of California, and they had in-flight interviews with both the National Broadcasting Company in the United States, and a newspaper in London.
Stevens later described the appearance of the earth from almost 14 miles up as a “foreign and lifeless world.” Perched as they were in the top 4% of the earth’s atmosphere, the crewmen aboard Explorer II could not see highways or houses or distinguish any other signs of life. The sky above appeared almost black, and for the first time ever, off on the horizon—an unprecedented 330 miles away—the curvature of the earth could be clearly discerned.
The descent of Explorer II was as smooth and unremarkable as the ascent had been, but with the sudden demise of the original Explorer fresh in their memory, people all over the world held their breaths. One radio announcer conversing with his colleagues over short wave radio cautioned, “Don’t play up this record business, boys, until we are sure they have gotten down safely. There is still plenty of chance for them to crash, and they have to come back alive to make it a record.”
Anderson and Stevens also vividly recalled the sudden ending to their previous flight. As the massive balloon and its precious cargo approached the earth, they prudently donned football helmets they had borrowed from a Rapid City high school and prepared for the worst. But, after a total of 8 hours and 13 minutes aloft, balloon and crew landed safely in a field near White Lake, South Dakota, 230 miles east of the Stratobowl launch site.
Hundreds of people immediately converged on the site, many seeking souvenirs. One woman boldly approached Anderson and asked him for a memento. Seeing that part of the balloon had folded over onto some authentic South Dakota cow chips, the quick-witted Anderson picked one up and said laconically, “Here, lady.” Apparently satisfied, she promptly tucked her “Strato-prize” into her purse.
The impact the record-breaking high-altitude flight had on the world of 1935 was dramatic—approaching that of a modern-day moon flight. A headline-grabbing success story amid the dark, gloomy days of the Great Depression, it inspired more than 3000 pages of newsprint world-wide. Stevens and Anderson, in addition to becoming instant national celebrities, were once more awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, while the National Geographic Society bestowed upon them its prestigious Hubbard Gold Medal for “…distinction in exploration, discovery, and research.”
The true significance of the flight, however, was more than just the establishment of a world record. According to General of the U.S. Army Air Forces in World War II, H.H. “Hap” Arnold, the Explorer II expedition “…bore fruit in World War II far in advance of what was imagined to be the results at the time.” Technological advances from this expedition that directly benefited U.S. forces in World War II included refinements in the use of strong but light magnesium alloy, an increased understanding of cabin pressurization and two-way radio communication from extreme altitudes, and the development of high-altitude survival equipment, such as electrically heated flying suits. But perhaps the most significant accomplishment of the high-altitude expedition was that it clearly demonstrated man’s ability to survive in the deadly environment of the stratosphere, where future air wars would likely be fought.
The benefits derived from the historic high-altitude flight also extended beyond World War II. The information gained about cosmic rays, the distribution of ozone in the upper atmosphere, the spectra and brightness of sun and sky, and the chemical composition, electrical conductivity and living spore content of the air above 70,000 feet had a direct impact decades later upon the American space program.
The able and talented crewmembers of the two stratospheric flights of 1934-35 went on to distinguished military careers. Both Kepner and Anderson became generals during World War II, while Stevens, who had already achieved considerable renown long before the stratospheric flights, retired from the Army with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
The high-altitude manned balloon record established by Explorer II stood for over two decades, but eventually was eclipsed. On November 8, 1956, Navy Lieutenant Commanders Malcolm D. Ross and Morton L. Lewis finally broke the record set by Explorer II when they ascended to 76,000 feet. In May 1961, Commander Ross—this time with Lieutenant Commander Victor A. Prather—further extended the manned balloon altitude mark to almost 114,000 feet, a record which still stands today. As if to once more tragically underscore the dangers involved with exploring this new world, Prather’s life was lost during the ocean recovery attempt following the flight.
Other important lighter-than-air flights have originated from the Stratobowl, since the record-setting stratospheric flights of the 1930s. These include the record-breaking Ross and Lewis flight of 1956, as well as several other flights of note since then. Even today, over 60 years after the first balloon launch from the Stratobowl, its unique attributes still appeal to balloonists. As recently as January of 1996, an around-the-world attempt originated from the Stratobowl. Now privately owned, this historic geological oddity appears almost the same as it did 60 years ago.
Although numerous other record-breaking altitude flights have been made since the stratospheric flights of 1934 and 1935, none accomplished more towards the advancement of science. When Explorer II gently touched down in that dusty South Dakota field on Armistice Day afternoon of 1935, a new footnote to aviation history been written; but more importantly, knowledge had been gained that would help thrust man into his next great frontier, Outer Space.

NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) -- Architects designing the new Sandy Hook Elementary School will be presenting their plans to Newtown officials after getting input from more than 200 people.
Svigals + Partners is scheduled to show its concepts to Newtown's Public Building and Site Commission on Tuesday night.
The old Sandy Hook School was torn down following the December 2012 shootings that left 20 first-graders and six educators dead. A new school will be built on the same property.
The News-Times of Danbury reports (http://bit.ly/1eEuIXA ) that New Haven-based Svigals + Partners is proposing a two-story building that will have wide, connecting "Main Street" boulevards inside, four "tree houses," footbridges, courtyards and many large windows that will provide natural lighting.
Architects say they're designing a school that will be safe without feeling like a fortress.

Close your eyes and imagine the perfect afternoon. Beautiful scenery, good friends, delicious wine – sounds ideal, right? Now, open your eyes and take a look at a map of Missouri, because this is the place where those perfect afternoons happen ... year-round. Our state’s climate and soil make it a wonderful place to grow grapes.
For decades, Missourians have produced award-winning wines and served them with plenty of warm hospitality. Below we offer just a sampling of what Missouri has to offer. For details on all of Missouri's wineries (more than 120 as of Jan. 2014), visit the Missouri Wine & Grape Board’s website. Please note: It is against Missouri law to carry any outside wine, liquor and beer onto a winery’s property – leave your beverages in the car.
Visit several great wineries when you follow the path of the Hermann Wine Trail. This “trail” stretches 20-miles from Hermann to New Haven, with seven wonderful wineries along the way. Stops include Hermannhof Vineyards, with its 150 year old brick cellars; and Adam Puchta Winery, the oldest continually owned and operated family winery in America.
Wine lovers seeking a hands-on experience should definitely plan a trip to Serenity Valley Winery, 12 miles west of Fulton. Relax with a glass of wine and an appetizer. At this winery, you can make your own wine (complete with original labels); they will teach you how.
At the Branson facility of Mount Pleasant Winery, take a Wine 101 class on Tuesdays, Thursdays or Saturdays. You can gain hands-on bottling experience and, of course, taste a variety of award-winning wines. In addition to touring the facilities and tasting award-winning wines, visitors have the opportunity to bottle their own dessert wine from a specially designed 600-gallon French oak barrel. At Mount Pleasant Estates, their main facility, in Augusta, enjoy the huge outdoor, terraced patios; tour the original 1859 limestone cellars; and listen to live music most weekends.
Pair delicious wines with breathtaking scenery at Seven Springs Winery, six miles north of Linn Creek in the Lake of the Ozarks area. Seven Springs offers wine, sangria and craft beers. Enjoy your beverage of choice with an item from the kitchen: the lunch menu includes cheese plates, sandwiches, soups, salads and appetizers; evenings bring such hearty fare as pasta and steaks. Most weekends, spring to fall, feature live music. The winery’s proximity to the Lake of the Ozarks makes it a great stop during a lake vacation.
Want to visit a place that feels like Napa Valley, but without the hefty California price tag? Head to the gorgeous Chandler Hill Vineyards, outside the village of Defiance. This slice of paradise features wines from Missouri, as well as the West Coast. Sip your wine in the large, elegant tasting room or take a seat on the deck that offers a prime view of the vineyards. The restaurant features plenty of perfect food pairings. Free live music gets toes tapping every weekend.
Sure, vines grow in the sunshine, but a very cool part of wine making happens underground. See for yourself at Stone Hill Winery in Hermann, where wines age to perfection in cavernous underground cellars. After your subterranean tour, enjoy a glass of Stone Hill wine as you overlook beautiful Hermann. The winery’s Vintage Restaurant serves German and American cuisine for lunch and dinner (reservations highly recommended). Stone Hill has branch locations in New Florence and Branson.
The architecture at Crown Valley Winery is as appealing as the delicious wines. Twenty miles southwest of Ste. Genevieve, this destination features reclaimed stained glass, locally crafted wrought iron and other lovely artisan touches. Sample (and purchase) a variety of Crown Valley wines, including enticing fruit wines, such as blackberry and peach. Four miles east of Crown Valley, Chaumette Vineyards and Winery pairs yummy wines with an on-site spa and elegantly appointed overnight villas for the ultimate in relaxation.
Feel like part of the family when you visit Fence Stile Vineyards and Winery, on the southeastern edge of Excelsior Springs. The friendly folks offer a variety of wines as well as other items to take home, including custom-blended oils and gift baskets. Enjoy a picnic dinner – you can pack your own or the vineyard owners can create one for you – as you sit around the fire pit on a cool night. Kids and pets are welcome at this truly family-friendly vineyard. Take a kite and a Frisbee.
Opened for business November 2012, Apple Creek Vineyard & Winery is five miles northeast of Friedheim (27 miles northwest of Cape Girardeau). Admire the gorgeous views as from the wraparound deck, the elegant tasting room and outdoors along Apple Creek – all overlooking the peaceful countryside.
Editor’s Note: Operating hours change with the seasons and during special events. Please check the business’s website or call for current hours.

Broadcast TV antenna and transmitter manufacturers’ exhibits at the 2017 NAB Show were as packed as I’d seen since the DTV build-out a decade ago.
This month I’m continuing my coverage of the 2016 IEEE Broadcast Symposium, with a focus on presentations about ATSC 3.0 and the transition from ATSC 1.0 to ATSC 3.0.
I first attended the IEEE Broadcast Symposium 20 years ago when it was held at the Hotel Washington and it remains the “must attend” event of the fall conference schedule.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego reported today that carbon dioxide — a key greenhouse gas fueling global warming — has reached levels not seen for millions of years. This has dire consequences for people who own real estate in coastal communities vulnerable to sea level rise flooding.
Measurements taken at Mauna Loa Atmospheric Baseline Observatory in Hawaii peaked at 421 parts per million in May. The last time the level was that high over 4 million years ago sea levels were 16 to 82 feet higher than they are today. The new reading is 1.8 parts per million over 2021. Before the Industrial Revolution got underway in the 1800s, carbon dioxide levels were around 280 parts per million, where they’d been for nearly 6,000 years of human civilization.
Carbon dioxide is a potent greenhouse gas that remains in the atmosphere for an extended period of time. The NOAA report not only stresses the need for humans to rapidly reduce the use of fossil fuels — coal, oil and natural gas — that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, it also sounds the alarm for people who own or are considering buying coastal real estate in areas that are now experiencing or at-risk of experiencing sea level rise flooding.
NOAA’s latest report on sea level rise predicted an average of about 2 feet of sea level rise between now and the end of the century based on current greenhouse gas emissions. If they’re not reduced, that figure rises to up to 7 feet of sea level rise. Some areas are forecast to experience greater or lesser amounts of sea level rise than others due to land elevation, land subsidence, ocean currents and other local conditions.
It’s important to note here that when we talk about up to 7 feet of sea level rise by the end of the century, we’re talking about a gradual but accelerating rise in ocean level. This will put more and more coastal real estate at risk of flooding in the years and decades to come before the end of the century.
“The science is irrefutable: humans are altering our climate in ways that our economy and our infrastructure must adapt to,” said NOAA Administrator Risk Spinrad, Ph.D, in an article on the agency’s website. “We can see the impacts of climate change around us every day. The relentless increase of carbon dioxide measured at Mauna Loa is a star reminder that we need to take urgent, serious steps to become a more Climate Ready Nation.”
The bottom line is to deny or ignore climate change and continue to burn fossil fuels at the current or an even greater rate is to deny basic science. We all need to do what we can to reduce the consumption of coal, oil and natural gas to protect lives, property and, quite frankly, the future of humanity.

The newly conceived hob seduces to cook only through the way of interaction. By moving the cookware you regulate the power. The moving is the most intuitive gestic to change the temperature. Already by using the fireplace the mankind searched for the best place. The principle is based on the induction of the whole cooking surface by many induction coils. The induction technique is predestinated for this gestic, because the pot absorbes more or less power depending on his position. Through an additional tool you can adjust an automatic switchoff for every cooking zone.
