Seattle, a city on Puget Sound in the Pacific Northwest, is surrounded by water, mountains and evergreen forests, and contains thousands of acres of parkland. Washington State’s largest city, it’s home to a large tech industry, with Microsoft and Amazon headquartered in its metropolitan area. The futuristic Space Needle, a 1962 World’s Fair legacy, is its most iconic landmark. The city is situated on an isthmus between Puget Sound (an inlet of the Pacific Ocean) and Lake Washington, about 100 miles (160 km) south of the Canada–United States border. A major gateway for trade with Asia, Seattle is the fourth-largest port in North America in terms of container handling as of 2015.
First time in Seattle? Cut to the chase and make a beeline for its proverbial pantry: Pike Place Market. It was founded in 1907 to fortify locals with fresh Northwest produce, and its long-held mantra of ‘meet the producer’ still echoes enthusiastically around a city where every restaurateur worth their salt knows the name of their fishmonger and the biography of the cow that became yesterday’s burgers. It doesn’t take long to realize that you’ve arrived in a city of well-educated palates and wildly experimental chefs who are willing to fuse American cuisine with just about anything – as long as it’s local.
Visitors setting out to explore Seattle should think of the city as a United States of Neighborhoods or – to put it in more human terms – a family consisting of affectionate but sometimes errant siblings. There’s the aloof, elegant one (Queen Anne), the cool, edgy one (Capitol Hill), the weird, bearded one (Fremont), the independently minded Scandinavian one (Ballard), the grizzled old grandfather (Pioneer Square) and the precocious adolescent still carving out its identity (South Lake Union). You’ll never fully understand Seattle until you’ve spent a bit of time with them all.
To outsiders, Seattle is an industrious creator of macro-brands. To insiders, it’s a city of micro-businesses and boundary-pushing grassroots movements. For proof, dip into the third-wave coffee shops, the microbreweries with their casual tasting rooms or the cozy informal bookstores that remain rock solid in a city that spawned Amazon. Then there are the latest national trends that Seattle has helped create: craft cider, pot shops, micro-distilleries, specialist pie-makers, homemade ice cream and fledgling nano-breweries. Walk the streets and scour the neighborhoods; there’s far more to this city than Starbucks' vanilla lattes and Boeing airplanes.
It may have nurtured tech giants Microsoft and Amazon, but that doesn’t mean Seattle hasn’t got a surreal, arty side. Crisscross its urban grid and you’ll find all kinds of apparitions: a rocket sticking out of a shoe shop; a museum built to resemble a smashed-up electric guitar; glass orbs in wooden canoes; a statue of Lenin; a mural made of used chewing gum; fish-tossing market traders; and a museum dedicated to antique pinball machines (that you can still play). No, you haven't over-indulged in some powerful (legal) marijuana. You’ve just worked out that Seattle is far more bohemian than beige.

HEADLINE: Game over for national pinball museum?
CAPTION: At the National Pinball Museum in Washington, D.C., the history of the game with its rolling metal balls and noisy flippers is a passion for David Silverman. But the AP's Lee Powell says it may be game over for the fledgling museum. (June 16)

IF YOU WANT PROOF OF PASSION BECOMING OBSESSION ... STEP INSIDE THE NATIONAL PINBALL MUSEUM.
AND MEET DAVID SILVERMAN ...
SILVERMAN SOT: Yes, I'm the founder ... And 99 percent of the machines here are mine.
SILVERMAN SOT: I'd say to a certain extent when I was really collecting them it became an obsession. It calmed down after I had gotten 700 or 800 games ...
NOT EXACTLY A COLLECTION FOR A CORNER OF THE LIVING ROOM OR BASEMENT DEN ... SILVERMAN NEEDED SPACE ...
SILVERMAN SOT: This location has about 350 machines ...
... AND LAST YEAR GOT IT AT THIS MALL IN WASHINGTON'S GEORGETOWN.
SILVERMAN SOT: More than three quarters of the collection aren't even here ...
VISITOR SOT: Oh, wow ...
WHAT SILVERMAN HAS CREATED IS NOT AN ARCADE ... BUT A PLACE **PRESERVING** PIECES OF A FAVORITE PASTTIME.
SILVERMAN SOT: I started playing pinball when I was 4 years old. It's artwork and it's actual themes and mechanical interest fascinated me.
THEY ARE GAMES WHERE METAL BALLS BATTLE GRAVITY ...
SILVERMAN SOT: Oh, I just tilted the game ...
FLIPPERS FLIP ...
LIGHTS FLASH AND BELLS CLANG ...
VISITORS MARVEL AT THE CRAFTSMANSHIP ...
VISITOR SOT: I've never seen such work like that ...
THE PINBALL WIZARD ... MORE HUMBLE.
SILVERMAN SOT: I am a novice who has been playing for, God, well, on and off 54 years ...
FOR THE GUY WITH 900 PINBALL MACHINES ... AND FINALLY A PLACE TO PUT THEM ... THE SCORE TURNED WHEN THE BUILDING WAS SOLD, AND THE NEW LANDLORD GAVE 60 DAYS.
SILVERMAN SOT: The National Pinball Museum has lost our lease at the Shops at Georgetown Park ...
NOW, A SCRAMBLE TO FIND A NEW HOME ... AND MORE MONEY THAN JUST A FEW QUARTERS.
SILVERMAN SOT: So come on out and play, until the flippers fall off ...

1054) USA The Love for Pinball Machines
That is the sound of heaven to David Silverman
I've been collecting pinball machines about 30 years. Most of my life I've been involved somehow in pinball, whether its thinking about buying a game or playing games in different places when I saw them.
Pinball is a game in which players launch a metal ball into a glass-enclosed area. The game awards points the longer the ball stays in play. But look out! One false move... the ball sinks ... and the round is over.
Silverman is the proud owner and curator of the National Pinball Museum in Washington D.C., and it all started 30 years ago in Spain with a game called Fireball.
It was so fascinating to me and I had never seen it before. And that game fortunately or unfortunately started me on this collection phase which was not with the intention of doing anything but playing the game. I don't know what happened, I just kept buying games and buying games, it really is a blur, it like almost 30 years of a blur, but today the blur has ended at about 900 games.
Then, 15 years ago Silverman got serious.
I started seriously collecting for the purpose of building a museum. What pinball shows in the almost hundred years of its existence is the development of the United States. If you take any period of American history and say okay the 60's, and you follow the games, the pinball games that were made in the 60's, you would see exactly what took place during the 60's. So besides it being a historic timeline of events, it's an artistic timeline, it's a cultural timeline, and of course is still a game, so the game improved.
But pinball is more than just a flip through history.
I play pinball as an enjoyment, and I play it as a game to get better at. So I play it with seriousness and I play it with fun. To me a good portion of the excitement of a pinball machine is what the sound is, the sound tells you what's going on with the story. If it's just a huge jumble of noise, then you have to be a hell lot better pinball player then I am because I really want to hear what's going on, it tells me you have done something, it tells me you missed it.
But can pinball survive the world of electronic gaming?
The three-dimensionality of pinball, I'm not talking pinball on the computer, I'm talking about the real pinball machine -- to me that's the hope of pinball, to get these kids seeing what pinball is or was before, so they can be interested in continuing playing it.
One of the many points of this museum, was to start a little fire under people in terms of, not just seeing pinball as a game to play but as pinball a piece of historic art.
Despite spending almost $2 million over the past 30 years, Silverman says his investment is in history and the love of the game.
It's obviously a passion, I'm hoping to make it a passion of a lot other people.
If Silverman can make others feel as passionately as he does then he might earn the game's highest accolade - being called a Pinball Wizard.
Thrillist - National Pinball Museum - Washington D.C.
The brainchild of a local professor/lifetime pin-thusiast, the NPM boasts over 14,000 interactive square feet celebrating the glittery marvels, with multiple exhibit rooms, classrooms/workshops, a rentable movie theater, and over 800 machines, from the latest computer-driven techno-games, to a pinball precursor from the 19th century, when people only listened to pinball wizard for fear that he'd turn them into a newt. Permanent exhibitry includes specific rooms like Art (plastered with concept drawings) and Roll Down (devoted to a pinball-variation used by some states to skirt anti-gambling laws) bordering an arcade-style main room stocked with playable classics covering everything from movies (from a '93 Lost World to the older Addams Family Gold), to music, with a Guns N' Roses set-up and the Southern-rocking Nugent, whose bumpers ironically don't have murdered deer carcasses hanging off them. They've also got more tightly themed rotating exhibits, with the current line-up including The Golden Age of Pinball, showcasing how three companies defined the industry in the '40s - '60s with machines like 1963's Touchdown; or a display examining the relationship between those who make pinball fun and those who make it pretty, called Artist vs. Designer -- also a new Bravo series where Mizrahi totally wails on dudes wearing berets.

Deborah Harkness: 2018 National Book Festival
Deborah Harkness discusses The World of All Souls: The Complete Guide to A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night, and The Book of Life at the 2018 Library of Congress National Book Festival in Washington, D.C.
Speaker Biography: Deborah Harness sums up the story of her life in three words: history, books and libraries. Her career in fiction is a recent development. In September 2008, she began to wonder, If there really are witches and vampires, what do they do for a living? A Discovery of Witches was the unexpected answer to that question. It debuted at No. 2 on The New York Times best-seller list. She has worked in libraries at Oxford University and All Souls College as well as at the British Library, London's Guildhall Library, the Henry E. Huntington Library, the Folger Shakespeare Library and the Newberry Library. She says these experiences have given her a deep and abiding love of libraries and a deep respect for librarians. In her new book, The World of All Souls: The Complete Guide to A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night, and The Book of Life (Viking), Harkness shares the rich sources of inspiration behind her bewitching novels.

SUMMARY
=======
The Space Shuttle was a partially reusable low Earth orbital spacecraft system operated by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as part of the Space Shuttle program. Its official program name was Space Transportation System (STS), taken from a 1969 plan for a system of reusable spacecraft of which it was the only item funded for development. The first of four orbital test flights occurred in 1981, leading to operational flights beginning in 1982. In addition to the prototype whose completion was cancelled, five complete Shuttle systems were built and used on a total of 135 missions from 1981 to 2011, launched from the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida. Operational missions launched numerous satellites, interplanetary probes, and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST); conducted science experiments in orbit; and participated in construction and servicing of the International Space Station. The Shuttle fleet's total mission time was 1322 days, 19 hours, 21 minutes and 23 seconds.Shuttle components included the Orbiter Vehicle (OV) with three clustered Rocketdyne RS-25 main engines, a pair of recoverable solid rocket boosters (SRBs), and the expendable external tank (ET) containing liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. The Space Shuttle was launched vertically, like a conventional rocket, with the two SRBs operating in parallel with the OV's three main engines, which were fueled from the ET. The SRBs were jettisoned before the vehicle reached orbit, and the ET was jettisoned just before orbit insertion, which used the orbiter's two Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS) engines. At the conclusion of the mission, the orbiter fired its OMS to de-orbit and re-enter the atmosphere. The orbiter then glided as a spaceplane to a runway landing, usually to the Shuttle Landing Facility at Kennedy Space Center, Florida or Rogers Dry Lake in Edwards Air Force Base, California. After landing at Edwards, the orbiter was flown back to the KSC on the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, a specially modified Boeing 747.
The first orbiter, Enterprise, was built in 1976, used in Approach and Landing Tests and had no orbital capability. Four fully operational orbiters were initially built: Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, and Atlantis. Of these, two were lost in mission accidents: Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003, with a total of fourteen astronauts killed. A fifth operational (and sixth in total) orbiter, Endeavour, was built in 1991 to replace Challenger. The Space Shuttle was retired from service upon the conclusion of Atlantis's final flight on July 21, 2011. The U.S. has since relied on the Russian Soyuz spacecraft to transport astronauts to the Internation ...

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Space Shuttle was a partially reusable low Earth orbital spacecraft system operated by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as part of the Space Shuttle program. Its official program name was Space Transportation System (STS), taken from a 1969 plan for a system of reusable spacecraft of which it was the only item funded for development. The first of four orbital test flights occurred in 1981, leading to operational flights beginning in 1982. In addition to the prototype whose completion was cancelled, five complete Shuttle systems were built and used on a total of 135 missions from 1981 to 2011, launched from the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida. Operational missions launched numerous satellites, interplanetary probes, and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST); conducted science experiments in orbit; and participated in construction and servicing of the International Space Station. The Shuttle fleet's total mission time was 1322 days, 19 hours, 21 minutes and 23 seconds.Shuttle components included the Orbiter Vehicle (OV) with three clustered Rocketdyne RS-25 main engines, a pair of recoverable solid rocket boosters (SRBs), and the expendable external tank (ET) containing liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. The Space Shuttle was launched vertically, like a conventional rocket, with the two SRBs operating in parallel with the OV's three main engines, which were fueled from the ET. The SRBs were jettisoned before the vehicle reached orbit, and the ET was jettisoned just before orbit insertion, which used the orbiter's two Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS) engines. At the conclusion of the mission, the orbiter fired its OMS to de-orbit and re-enter the atmosphere. The orbiter then glided as a spaceplane to a runway landing, usually to the Shuttle Landing Facility at Kennedy Space Center, Florida or Rogers Dry Lake in Edwards Air Force Base, California. After landing at Edwards, the orbiter was flown back to the KSC on the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, a specially modified version of the Boeing 747.
The first orbiter, Enterprise, was built in 1976, used in Approach and Landing Tests and had no orbital capability. Four fully operational orbiters were initially built: Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, and Atlantis. Of these, two were lost in mission accidents: Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003, with a total of fourteen astronauts killed. A fifth operational (and sixth in total) orbiter, Endeavour, was built in 1991 to replace Challenger. The Space Shuttle was retired from service upon the conclusion of Atlantis's final flight on July 21, 2011. The U.S. has since relied primarily on the Russian Soyuz spacecraft to transport supplies and astronauts to the International Space Station.
