"Adventure Is Calling II " Watch It Full Screen...
Adventure Is Calling II from Shane Black on Vimeo.
Take another trip around the U.S. and parts of Canada through my eyes, with Adventure Is Calling II.
I was fortunate enough to spend several months this past summer traveling around the U.S. and parts of Canada, teaching workshops and shooting timelapse along the way. Since the trip was so similar to the year before, I thought it was fitting to dub this video as a sequel to Adventure Is Calling. This trip spanned just shy of 4 months, covered around 14,000 miles and led to this film, composed of nearly 20,000 still images.
It was so great getting so much feedback on the last video about how it inspired so many to get out, travel, and spend more nights under the stars. I hope this video will revamp those desires.
Special thanks to Arn Andersson for making an extended version of his song The Truth Beyond for me to use for this video. www.arnandersson.com

up to 30 W/m2 of "spurious variations" from incorrect calculation of solar zenith angle discovered by the authors is up to 18 times larger than the

2500 Hundred Students... 82 Languages.... How About Those Stats?
According to WIKI the student population of Central HS in Manchester NH is 2500
An article the other day in The Union Leader quoted the Mayor of Manchester stating that
there are 82 languages represented at the school.
From the Paper:
While many immigrants enter the U.S. with dreams for a brighter future, city officials say it's their aim to help with services needed by new arrivals to achieve their goals.
"I think at last check we had something like 82 languages represented at Central High School," said Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas. "I asked a few years ago for a waiver from the federal government to exempt immigrant and refugee children from testing. I'm still waiting on that one."
The U.S. has accepted refugees since the early 1980s. New Hampshire welcomes between 250 and 550 legal immigrants each year. Most take up residence in communities along Interstate 93 from Nashua on up to Concord, with some showing up in Laconia.
LINK TO THE STORY
They have been looking for waivers to exempt them from testing. Can I ask how this will help with assimilation?

war by half (at a guess)?

facilitators who refuse to learn the lessons of the past." >> No. They Left was wrong about Hitler, they were wrong about Stalin, they will prove
