Buck, enlisted by his boss Howard Hughes, the owner of TWA, to pilot Power on a tour of South America, Africa and Europe, would spend three months with the actor and a small retinue on a trip that was set to begin in September 1947. The group would travel in Power’s plane, <i>The Geek</i>, named after a character in his latest film, <i>Nightmare Alley</i>.  At the time, at age 33, Tyrone Power was one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, an adored “matinee idol,” but his straightforward, unassuming manner instantly disarmed the skeptical Buck.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /><a name='more'></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK1rbMbKxsFoBHTx0efNQ_2WL10CCkOIgVbFXQUm1sDoheqRDpDI6Qeh9WerUhx8DBBkcqRWRVFawhhprfL09FEBw6eurvC_56KFHI5xR13_ZxfU9ppDyKBjOSqcKwA5_7qgLotZA9Y4U/s1600/Tyrone+Power+father+and+son.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="183" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK1rbMbKxsFoBHTx0efNQ_2WL10CCkOIgVbFXQUm1sDoheqRDpDI6Qeh9WerUhx8DBBkcqRWRVFawhhprfL09FEBw6eurvC_56KFHI5xR13_ZxfU9ppDyKBjOSqcKwA5_7qgLotZA9Y4U/s200/Tyrone+Power+father+and+son.jpg" width="200" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Tyrone Power, father and son</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: right;"></div><span style="font-size: small;">Born in Cincinnati in 1914, Tyrone Power descended from a long line of performing artists. His father, born Frederick Tyrone Power in England and billed as Tyrone Power, was a Shakespearean actor and <i>his</i>father was concert pianist Harold Power, son of celebrated Irish actor Tyrone Power. Tyrone Edmund Power was born May 5, 1914 to his 45-year-old father and his second wife, Emma (known as Patia Power). Young Tyrone and his sister, Anne, were the esteemed actor’s only children. Power, Sr., and <span style="font-size: small;">Patia</span>, who had shared the stage with him from time to time, divorced in 1920. The actor soon remarried and continued his stage and movie career while his ex-wife cared for the children and worked as a voice and drama coach.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It was at age 17 when he was just out of high school that the younger Tyrone Power was able to spend some months with his father. Encouraged by his parents, he had begun acting early in life and that summer of 1931 his father took him to Chicago where he was appearing in a production of <i>The Merchant of Venice</i>. Young Tyrone was given a small part in the play. The two later returned to Hollywood where the elder Power began work on a film. Several weeks into production he suffered a massive heart attack at the Hollywood Athletic Club and there he died in the arms of his son.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik_4Csuj9X0TO0hKio7tE5h1wcCtYK04w7Y1QeFWfgpcc9NH2uKO1eRkqp0ue3DljtehJ00FoxOZieG00K6-0AP3d2Nug24IdoFt5akmd9H8B-RRCnbGTFZHmX4dcV1NfwbntlhVDd8SA/s1600/st+joan+on+stage+in+youth.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik_4Csuj9X0TO0hKio7tE5h1wcCtYK04w7Y1QeFWfgpcc9NH2uKO1eRkqp0ue3DljtehJ00FoxOZieG00K6-0AP3d2Nug24IdoFt5akmd9H8B-RRCnbGTFZHmX4dcV1NfwbntlhVDd8SA/s320/st+joan+on+stage+in+youth.jpg" width="290" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Tyrone Power on stage in <i>St. Joan</i>, 1936</td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-size: small;">By 1935, Tyrone Power, Jr., as he was then known, had made his way to Broadway and been taken under the wing of stage icon Katharine Cornell. He had a small role in <i>Flowers in the Forest</i> (1935), a play the actress produced, and <i>Romeo and Juliet </i>(1935 – 1936), in which Cornell and Maurice Evans starred. When he appeared in a supporting role in <i>St. Joan</i> (1936), starring Cornell, Power was approached by talent scouts from 20^th Century Fox and offered a screen test; Katharine Cornell told the young actor he was ready for Hollywood. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">She was right. Power’s brief appearance in his first film for Fox, <i>Girls' Dormitory </i>(1936) prompted a deluge of fan letters. Legend has it that powerful Hollywood columnist Hedda Hopper stayed to watch a second showing of the film just to check the credits for the name of the handsome young actor she’d spied in a brief role toward the end of the film.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It was with his third outing for Fox in 1936 that Tyrone Power became a star. Child actor Freddie Bartholomew, who played protagonist Jonathan Blake as a youth, was top-billed in <i>Lloyd's of London</i>. Fourth-billed Tyrone Power, who had far more screen time than anyone in the film, portrayed Blake as an adult. Only 22 at the time, but handsome, charismatic and self-possessed, Pow<span style="font-size: small;">er</span> walked away with the film. He would share top billing on his next assignment, <i>In Old Chicago</i> (1937), with Alice Faye and Don Ameche. Following the film’s great popular success, Fox would re-team him with Faye and Ameche in <i>Alexander’s Ragtime Band </i>(1938). Later in 1938, on loan to MGM, he appeared opposite Norma Shearer in the costume melodrama <i>Marie Antoinette</i>. Tyrone Power was now a firmly established leading man.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtmep3whm1fqqlKGQBgXghjpyE_2u5f_tF1uZd1Xh0XFoOMLBq0nP4QbBLLYJdTGFDiPjSWbBUbB4IQFz3Un5MW1ujAv1OB12KPR34sJtXR_cOVYMMF8yIWkfKwE93zKeQMfj3PLbthaY/s1600/marie+antoinette+on+the+set.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="302" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtmep3whm1fqqlKGQBgXghjpyE_2u5f_tF1uZd1Xh0XFoOMLBq0nP4QbBLLYJdTGFDiPjSWbBUbB4IQFz3Un5MW1ujAv1OB12KPR34sJtXR_cOVYMMF8yIWkfKwE93zKeQMfj3PLbthaY/s400/marie+antoinette+on+the+set.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Tyrone Power on the set of <i>Marie Antoinette </i>(1938) with Norma Shearer</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">1939 would prove to be a watershed year for the 25 year old actor. He would portray the outlaw <i>Jesse James</i>in one of only two Technicolor pictures Fox produced that year, and he would star in the studio’s spectacular <i>The Rains Came</i>. Nominated for six Academy Awards, it would win, in that year of the <i>Gone with the Wind</i> sweep, only one, for Best Effects, Special Effects. Power’s leading lady Myrna Loy remembered him as one of the nicest human beings she’d ever known. She would recall much later, “I’m sorry to report that we weren’t lovers, but close to it. I loved him, but he was married to that damn Frenchwoman.” That Frenchwoman was Annabella, the actress Power met a year earlier on <i>Suez </i>(1938) and married in 1939. Also in 1939, in an annual nationwide newspaper poll, Tyrone Power was voted “King of Hollywood.” </span><br /><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXOJaZ967e9p4hgWrLy19cmMUZmzi_LrZ1vbiFbL1P8VArqwjYnVTzeZUr7-lEVchcDp_xghFNu0BOlpySBt1onsiuk8NM_P2bPaxUdQkfd84VLcJCuFLZGQvSzGz29DEh1govRGmu4y8/s1600/1939+King+of+Hollywood+with+J+MacDonald+Queen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="244" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXOJaZ967e9p4hgWrLy19cmMUZmzi_LrZ1vbiFbL1P8VArqwjYnVTzeZUr7-lEVchcDp_xghFNu0BOlpySBt1onsiuk8NM_P2bPaxUdQkfd84VLcJCuFLZGQvSzGz29DEh1govRGmu4y8/s320/1939+King+of+Hollywood+with+J+MacDonald+Queen.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Tyrone Power, 1939's "King of Hollywood," with Ed Sullivan and "Queen" Jeanette MacDonald</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /><span style="font-size: small;">Power next appeared as what has to have been one of the most attractive criminals in Hollywood history in <i>Johnny Apollo </i>(1940) opposite Dorothy Lamour. His first swashbuckler would follow, <i>The Mark of Zorro </i>(1940). Among his best known films, it features one of his most memorable performances.

Directed by Rouben Mamoulian, it is the story of a brilliant bullfighter undone by temptation and jealousy. Power was apparently entranced by co-star Rita Hayworth, one of his two leading ladies (the other was Linda Darnell), and his stand-in reportedly noticed that the actor could not take his eyes from her throughout filming.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuzbQco9Akv9TdQSGrf1xExN0HwEtfMeKOLrA0GiSKbd9FGZFFO6XTQlgQrTTZn5aladvdnWvBuPGHiZnwnKIaD8kP-FMkiWY86ou-Q-4hf3GT8pa2mdpLDTkjEkz-yFz0xDuVvgMFtZI/s1600/Blood+and+Sand.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuzbQco9Akv9TdQSGrf1xExN0HwEtfMeKOLrA0GiSKbd9FGZFFO6XTQlgQrTTZn5aladvdnWvBuPGHiZnwnKIaD8kP-FMkiWY86ou-Q-4hf3GT8pa2mdpLDTkjEkz-yFz0xDuVvgMFtZI/s320/Blood+and+Sand.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Rita Hayworth and Tyrone Power in <i>Blood and Sand </i>(1941)</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Also prior to entering the service, Power completed<i>A Yank in the R.A.F. </i>(1941), a war-time romance that paired him with Fox’s other superstar, Betty Grable.

Zanuck, protective of Power as a valuable studio asset, feared that casting him as a dark character in a downbeat film would damage his box office appeal. But Power was frustrated with the endless string of heroes he invariably played and longed to break type. As sleazy carnival huckster Stan Carlisle, Power is fascinating - and convincing<span style="font-size: small;">.</span> But Zanuck had no confidence in the film and it was given little promotion. Though it quickly faded from view it developed a solid reputation and following over the years. <i>Captain from Castile </i>(1947), Power’s first post-war swashbuckler, would not be his last. At the time the picture was filming in Mexico, he was in the midst of a high-profile romance with Lana Turner. She flew south of the border to be with him on Christmas 1946 and would remember their New Year’s Eve together as the happiest night of her life. Her daughter Cheryl Crane recalled that one of her own earliest memories was of sitting on Power’s lap in the family den. “I was only about three years old, but I remember his face.” Lana would forever refer to Power as the love of her life and recall, “No man except possibly Tyrone Power took the time to find out that I was a human being, not just a pretty, shapely little thing.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Tp3b051HUwzEq1dBFZV0cbqF5ZcAEReT131dbviwziAhIhj3yylvwChHweYfRqnJVH01Cejs5gV76WjEtilex_yqHxJuZfm5aOsCS1nPfU-F2nDfiFvwwydLXhSiR_94wB1ec55R_PE/s1600/Lana+and+Ty.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Tp3b051HUwzEq1dBFZV0cbqF5ZcAEReT131dbviwziAhIhj3yylvwChHweYfRqnJVH01Cejs5gV76WjEtilex_yqHxJuZfm5aOsCS1nPfU-F2nDfiFvwwydLXhSiR_94wB1ec55R_PE/s320/Lana+and+Ty.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">1946: Lana Turner and Tyrone Power in Mexico</td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-size: small;">It was while involved with Lana and following the completion of his first three post-war films that Power readied for his trip across the Atlantic with pilot Bob Buck and crew. As the group prepared to depart on September 1, 1947, Turner took Buck aside and told him, “I love that guy, be sure you bring him back to me.” </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><span style="font-size: small;">Though Buck was originally drafted to pilot <i>The Geek</i>, Power confided early on that he would like to do most of the flying himself. Buck quickly learned that the actor “flew like an old pro” and relaxed into backing him up as co-pilot. Wherever <i>The Geek </i>landed, they were mobbed and sometimes pursued. Even landing in a jungle in Liberia and greeted by only two natives, one of the two pointed to Tyrone Power and said, “I know him.” When they arrived in Johannesburg, South Africa, Power’s group was welcomed by a crowd so large and enthusiastic that their driver commented, “they didn’t do this for the king and queen.” According to Buck, Power believed that people weren’t reacting to him but to the characters he played and their own romantic fantasies. Buck felt this perspective “kept his head size normal.”<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>Buck formed a life-long friendship with Power and saw in him an all-American guy and natural athlete who could also talk religion, philosophy, art and literature. He had a photographic memory – which Buck witnessed first-hand when he watched the actor scan a script and then discuss it in great detail. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Once <i>The Geek</i> made its way to Europe, the group spent some time in Rome.

He returned to Broadway in 1955 with <i>The Dark is Light Enough</i>, starring with Katharine Cornell (a young Christopher Plummer would win a Theatre World Award for his supporting performance in the play). Power’s final Broadway appearance came in <i>Back to Methuselah </i>in 1958 with Faye Emerson.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">His last finished film would be Billy Wilder’s <i>Witness for the Prosecution</i> (1957) with Charles Laughton and Marlene Dietrich.

equation makes for a rather interesting geopolitical sum, but there is no clear winner emerging just yet as everyone from international oil companies, Western governments, TURKEY and the SYRIAN regime attempts to buy KURDISH patronage with promises of independence.<br /><br /><b style="color: red;">SYRIAN PRESIDENT BASHAR ASSAD HAS HANDED OVER CONTROL OF SIX KURDISH-DOMINATED TOWNS IN SYRIA’S NORTH TO THE KURDS</b><span style="color: red;">. </span><br /><br />This is Assad’s answer to TURKISH and WESTERN machinations to get the SYRIAN KURDS to support the opposition in their efforts to overthrow Assad. KRG head Massoud Barzani has been the henchman behind rallying the various KURDISH groups behind the scheme. They are being promised an independent KURDISTAN in northern IRAQ and northern SYRIA. Assad is now promising them the same thing essentially. By doing so he is hoping to thwart WESTERN/TURKISH plans. <br /><br />The question then becomes, whose offer of an independent KURDISH nation will they accept? The answer is whichever is most likely to come to fruition. <br /><br />Late last month, Assad withdrew his forces from KURDISH towns as a gesture of goodwill. This leaves the KURDS to regroup and rearm, and whether they manage to make an independent nation out of the territory or not, Assad has relinquished control and he will have a hard time ever getting it back.  </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: red;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">TURKEYS GAMBLE IN THE “KURDISH GAME”</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><br /><br />TURKEY is playing a very dangerous game in all of this. It could succeed in finally winning the KURDS over by bolstering NORTHERN IRAQ at the expense of the IRAQI central government and then hoping that the KRG’s Barzani can win over the SYRIAN KURDS at the same time. Alternatively, it could face a new and greater threat from newly “independent” SYRIAN KURDS for all intents and purposes unleashed by Assad and free to launch attacks across the border in TURKEY. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Background Information</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">: See <a href="http://news-these-days.blogspot.com.ar/2012/08/turkeys-erratic-foreign-policies-all.html">http://news-these-days.blogspot.com.ar/2012/08/turkeys-erratic-foreign-policies-all.html</a></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">For now, on the public surface, the KURDS are opposed to the revolt against Assad. Some reports say that the KURDS in SYRIA are already making a public display of KURDISH (PKK) flags, ensuring that they can be seen by the TURKS right across the border.  <br /><br />Of course, the KURDS are no friend to the Assad regime, and insist that rather than withdrawing his forces, the KURDS pushed SYRIAN forces out of the area. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv8HitJhrctz4XJj6nsky-zmWmP6JIGDN0JaK6QZSeprCHzxs4RuIm8GW-NN5pWlKh4KdsKQAyrf4tMWQKZD40_ClQexB2-EIk4arE_NpUHf825bKgrKlXTyq7w1JhVvUyGMF05LM08jKQ/s1600/map+of+kurd-exxon+deal+-+Independent.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="346" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv8HitJhrctz4XJj6nsky-zmWmP6JIGDN0JaK6QZSeprCHzxs4RuIm8GW-NN5pWlKh4KdsKQAyrf4tMWQKZD40_ClQexB2-EIk4arE_NpUHf825bKgrKlXTyq7w1JhVvUyGMF05LM08jKQ/s400/map+of+kurd-exxon+deal+-+Independent.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">But all of this is on the surface, and while the KURDS’ public stance is that they will not align with the opposition against Assad, one important factor in convincing the KURDS that now is the time to declare independence is what is happing in NORTHERN IRAQ. Independence requires economy, and NORTHERN IRAQ’S oil and the increasing amount of business being undertaken in the region could be seen as the backbone of that economic independence. If that is how it is being perceived, then the KURDS will ditch Assad in favor of the West, whose major oil companies are setting the stage for KRG oil autonomy and a very bitter battle with Baghdad.  <br /><br />Certainly, the TURKISH prime minister didn’t think Ankara’s double-dealing with Baghdad and Irbil could go on much longer without any repercussions? </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: red; line-height: normal;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: red; line-height: normal;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: red; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">IRAQI CENTRAL GOVERNMENT SUPPORTS THE ASSAD REGIME</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: red; line-height: normal;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">IRAQI Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has decided he’s had enough. Maliki lashed out at TURKEY for treating NORTHERN IRAQ as an independent KURDISH nation. The statement came on the heels of a visit to KIRKUK, KURDISTAN by TURKISH Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu. It was an additional stopover combined on the IRAQ trip for which Ankara failed to inform Baghdad in advance. <br /><br />TURKEY has been walking a thin line with Baghdad. In July, the KRG began exporting oil to TURKEY without Baghdad’s permission. NORTHERN IRAQ has become a favored place of business for TURKS, and annual trade between the two is now in the billions. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><br /><br />Also of importance is the fact that the IRAQI central government in Baghdad supports the Assad regime. From here, the geo-mathematics of WESTERN support for the KRG via international oil majors and the “x” factor of SYRIA is not too difficult to calculate. <br /><br /><br /></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><strong><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">What is a Livebinder?</span></strong><br /><em><br /></em>There is a lovely, free online site you may have heard of called <em>LiveBinders (</em><a href="http://www.livebinders.com/">http://www.livebinders.com/</a>)<em>.</em> It is a free online service for teachers that lets them gather, organize and share information. It is like an online 3-ring binder that you can put anything (that is online) into – webpages, PDF, documents, images, or videos. Everything is organized by tab and you can even have subtabs within those tabs. I really wanted to create a Livebinder myself this week, but time ran out. However when I have completed one I’ll let you know. Please let me know if you have created one!<br /><br />This is what a Livebinder looks like before you open it (<a href="http://www.livebinders.com/play/play?id=26195">Ipads in Schools</a>)<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Reversible Destiny Website

Ever since discovering the work of Arakawa + Gins in the mid-1990s, I've been fascinated -- if not always fully understanding of -- the duo's work. Their mantra of "WE HAVE DECIDED NOT TO DIE" is nonsensical at first, but underlying it are very intriguing ideas about movement and how our environments shape our lives. Equally intriguing is the newly relaunched <a href="http://www.reversibledestiny.org/">Reversible Destiny website</a>, designed by Brooklyn's <a href="http://www.tronviggroup.com/" target="_blank">Tronvig Group</a>. The gravity-defying movement that Madeline Gins and the late Shusaku Arakawa translated into installations and environments comes across in the tumbling website. Upon visiting, be sure to drag the words and images around.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.reversibledestiny.org/"><img alt="Reversible_Destiny.jpg" src="http://www.archidose.org/Blog/Reversible_Destiny.jpg" title="Reversible Destiny screenshot" /></a><br />[<a href="http://www.reversibledestiny.org/">reversibledestiny.org</a> screenshot] <br /><br />As <a href="http://www.itnewsonline.com/showprnstory.php?storyid=230383">IT News reports it</a>, via a press release:<br /><blockquote>An ever-shifting kaleidoscopic display conveys in one fell swoop to a visitor that enters here all the content this rambunctious website contains.

Great read. "Let’s look at the research a little more closely. The amount of time a student spends on a task “is not so consistently related to achievement as it may seem,” one scholar concluded from her review of several studies on the subject. “Time is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for learning. Learning takes time, but providing time does not in itself ensure that learning will take place. More time may result in more learning – if [lack of] adequate time was the major cause of the problem in the first place. If other factors were the real cause, then providing more time will not be an effective strategy.”[2]"</p> <p class="diigo-tags"> <span>tags:</span> <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/education">education</a> <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/news">news</a> <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/research">research</a> <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/tumblr">tumblr</a></p> </li> <li> <p class="diigo-link"> <a href="http://www.plagtracker.com">Plagiarism Checker - the most accurate and absolutely FREE!
