Will Rogers - Roosevelt Campaign Speech (1932)
Unused / unissued material - no paperwork - dates unclear or unknown.
Hollywood, California, United States of America (USA).
Will Rogers makes speech in support of the presidential candidate Franklin D. Roosevelt. (therefore this presumably dates from 1932 or 1933). The noted comic says he is not wasting any oratory on a prospect, he wants FDR to come back as President. FDR laughs at this joke.
Shots of very decorated floats in a Holly wood parade (don't think this has anything to do with FDR or Will Rogers.)

See Inside Large Mausoleums Built for Famous Americans
This video, produced by Rome Monument, showcases large fancy mausoleums designed and built as monuments for the entombment of famous Americans. View pictures of the free-standing stone buildings and look inside these famous family mausoleums. Find out how these famous tombs and interment spaces were designed and constructed, how much it cost to build these historic mausoleums, and what it costs to build a beautiful private family mausoleum in 2018.
The Lincoln Tomb State Historic Site (Lincoln Tomb) is the final resting place of Abraham Lincoln, his wife Mary, and three of their four sons. It was built in the 1860's and is located in Springfield, IL. The original cost of the mausoleum, not including the statues and landscaping, was about $71,000.
Grant's Tomb is the final resting place of General Ulysses S. Grant and his wife, Julia Dent Grant. The granite and marble structure cost $600,000 to construct and is located in New York City. It was designed by architect John Duncan and is considered the largest mausoleum in North America.
The McKinley National Memorial (William McKinley Tomb) is the final resting place of William McKinley, 25th president of the United States, his wife and two daughters. The large pink granite building is located in Canton, Ohio, and was dedicated in 1907. It was designed by Harold Van Buren Magonigle and cost about $600,000 to build.
The Royal Mausoleum of Hawaii, built between 1863-1865, is the burial place of Hawaiian royalty, originally built for members of the Kamehameha and Kalakaua Dynasties. It is located in Honolulu and was designed by architect Theodore Heuck. The cemetery is the only royal cemetery within the U.S.. The cost of construction is estimated to be just over $15,000.
Will Rogers Shrine of the Sun is a mausoleum and commemorative tower and chapel in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Rogers (1879 –1935) was an American stage and motion picture actor and entertainer. Designed by Charles E. Thomas, the shrine is also a tomb for the remains of Spencer Penrose and his wife Julie. The mausoleum, completed in 1937, cost about $250,000 or over 4 million dollars in today’s currency.
The Lillian Russell Moore Mausoleum is located in Allegheny Cemetery in Pittsburgh, PA.. Dubbed The American Beauty, Russell was one of the most famous American actresses and singers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, known for her beauty and style, as well as for her voice. When Lillian died in 1922, her husband commissioned the construction of the mausoleum with the simple epitaph, “The world is better for her having lived”.
Rome Monument, headquartered in Pittsburgh, is a mausoleum designer, construction company, contractor and builder with over 80 years of experience as a design/builder of private family mausoleums. We build single, 2 person, and family/estate mausoleums for 3 or more interments for both traditional and cremation burials. Mausoleums are free-standing cemetery buildings that contain the grave, tomb or burial chamber of the deceased. A large mausoleum can also incorporate other elements, such as a chapel or a niche for cremated remains. Our mausoleums can be adorned with beautiful custom designs, etchings, engravings, bas reliefs, statues, 3D carvings, and symbols and imagery that convey the specific nationality or religion of the deceased.

The Drive Up & Down Pike's Peak, June 14th, 2015
This is a sped up version of me driving my 2015 Subaru Outback to the top of Pike's Peak, Colorado Springs, CO. The elevation at the top of Pike's Peak is 14,115 ft. It takes about 45 minutes to go both up and down.
As you can see in the video there are a lot of stretched with no guard rails, or anything preventing you from plummeting to your death. So you must travel at a very slow rate of speed.
We were delayed going up the mountain because of a snow storm that dropped a ton of snow. You get to see people pulled off writing messages in the snow walls.
If your ever in Colorado Springs and you have a car that you can sufficiently down shift in, please take the time and go up Pikes Peak. It was absolutely beautiful and it isn't too often you get to drive up a mountain.

Gerald Romero wins Run to the Shrine 10K
Gerald The G Man Romero is good when it comes to running up hills, and he's great coming down them. That formula worked for him on Saturday in the Run to the Shrine 10K at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. Romero ran conservatively for the first two miles, but when the course hit it's steepest pitches - right around the elephant exhibit - the 42-year-old Colorado Springs resident made his move. He hit the race high point - the Will Rogers Shrine - after 1,400 feet of climing, then charged back to the finish at the zoo to take the win in 43 minutes, 26 seconds.
It was a good day for the masters runners, with 42-year-old Wes Thurman (Colorado Springs), placing second 44:24. Nathan Swartzendru (29, Monument) was third in 47:25.
Laura Keaton, 26, of Manitou Springs was the fastest among the women, winning in 55:33. Check out for more video, blogs, photos and stories about running and cycling in the Pikes Peak Region.

Shrine
A shrine (Latin: scrinium case or chest for books or papers; Old French: escrin box or case) is a holy or sacred place, which is dedicated to a specific deity, ancestor, hero, martyr, saint, daemon or similar figure of awe and respect, at which they are venerated or worshipped. Shrines often contain idols, relics, or other such objects associated with the figure being venerated. A shrine at which votive offerings are made is called an altar. Shrines are found in many of the world's religions, including Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Chinese folk religion, Shinto, and Asatru as well as in secular and non-religious settings such as a war memorial. Shrines can be found in various settings, such as churches, temples, cemeteries, or in the home, although portable shrines are also found in some cultures.

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 World's Columbian Exposition (the official shortened name for the World's Fair: Columbian Exposition, also known as the Chicago World's Fair and Chicago Columbian Exposition) was a world's fair held in Chicago in 1893 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the New World in 1492. The centerpiece of the Fair, the large water pool, represented the long voyage Columbus took to the New World. Chicago bested New York City, Washington, D.C., and St. Louis for the honor of hosting the fair. The Exposition was an influential social and cultural event and had a profound effect on architecture, sanitation, the arts, Chicago's self-image, and American industrial optimism.
The layout of the Chicago Columbian Exposition was, in large part, designed by John Wellborn Root, Daniel Burnham, Frederick Law Olmsted and Charles B. Atwood. It was the prototype of what Burnham and his colleagues thought a city should be. It was designed to follow Beaux Arts principles of design, namely French neoclassical architecture principles based on symmetry, balance, and splendor. The color of the material generally used to cover the buildings façades gave the fairgrounds its nickname, the White City. Many prominent architects designed its 14 great buildings. Artists and musicians were featured in exhibits and many also made depictions and works of art inspired by the exposition.
The exposition covered 690 acres (2.8 km2), featuring nearly 200 new (but deliberately temporary) buildings of predominantly neoclassical architecture, canals and lagoons, and people and cultures from 46 countries. More than 27 million people attended the exposition during its six-month run. Its scale and grandeur far exceeded the other world's fairs, and it became a symbol of the emerging American Exceptionalism, much in the same way that the Great Exhibition became a symbol of the Victorian era United Kingdom.
Dedication ceremonies for the fair were held on October 21, 1892, but the fairgrounds were not actually opened to the public until May 1, 1893. The fair continued until October 30, 1893. In addition to recognizing the 400th anniversary of the discovery of the New World by Europeans, the fair also served to show the world that Chicago had risen from the ashes of the Great Chicago Fire, which had destroyed much of the city in 1871.On October 9, 1893, the day designated as ...
