German Songtext postcard by Spezial Verlag Robert Franke, Hamburg, no. O 1350. Zarah Leander sings 'Von der Pussta will ich träumen' in Der Blaufuchs/The Blue Fox (Victor Tourjansky, 1938). Songtext distributed by Ufaton Verlags-G.m.b.H., Berlin.
Glamorous, mysterious diva Zarah Leander (1907-1981) was a Swedish actress and singer, who is now best remembered for her German songs and films from the late 1930s and early 1940s. With her fascinating and deep voice, she sang melancholy and a bit frivolous songs specifically composed for her. Zarah was for a time the best-paid film star of the Third Reich. In her Ufa vehicles, she always played the role of a cool femme fatale, independently minded, beautiful, passionate, self-confident and a bit sad. It gave her the nickname 'the Nazi Garbo', but a recent book claims that she was, in fact, a Soviet spy
Zarah Leander was born Sara Stina Hedberg in Karlstad, Sweden, in 1907. Her parents were Anders Lorentz Sebastian Hedberg and Matilda Ulrika Hedberg. Although she studied piano and violin as a small child and sang on stage for the first time at the age of six, Sara initially had no intention of becoming a professional performer and led an ordinary life for several years. As a teenager, she lived for two years in Riga (1922–1924), where she learned German and took up work as a secretary. She married actor Nils Leander in 1926, and they had two children: Boel (1927) and Göran (1929). In 1929, she had her breakthrough when her counter-alt voice was recognised by revue king Ernst Rolf. In his touring cabaret, she sang for the first time 'Vill ni se en stjärna' (Do you want to see a star?) which soon would become her signature tune. She got a record contract with the Odeon company, for which she recorded 80 songs till 1936. One of the songs she recorded in 1930 was Marlene Dietrich's 'Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuß auf Liebe eingestellt' from Der Blauen Engel/The Blue Angel (Josef von Sternberg, 1930). In the early 1930s, Leander played in several shows and performed in three Swedish films, including Dantes Mysterier/Dante's Mysteries (Paul Merzbach, 1930) and Falska Millionären/The False Millionaire (André Berthomieu, Paul Merzbach, 1931). Her persona in those films was already that of the singing, mundane vamp. She had her definitive breakthrough as Hanna Glavari opposite the legendary Swedish film star Gösta Ekman in Franz Lehár's operetta 'Die lustige Witwe' (The Merry Widow) (1931). In 1932 she divorced Nils Leander. She declined American work offers but she opted for an international career on the European continent because of her two school-age children. In 1936 she went to Vienna to star at the Theater an der Wien in the operetta 'Axel an der Himmelstür', composed by Ralph Benatzky and directed by Max Hansen. This parody of Hollywood and Greta Garbo was a huge success. She also got the role of a successful revue star in the Austrian film Premiere (Geza von Bolvary, 1936) with Karl Martell. Then she was offered a three-film contract by the German Universum Film AG (Ufa) studios, as propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels was looking for a new muse of the cinema of the Third Reich. She would earn approximately 200,000 Reichsmark and 53% of her gage would be paid in Swedish Kronor (crowns). Leander said "yes", despite the political situation.
Zarah Leander's first film at Ufa was Zu neuen Ufern/To New Shores (1936) directed by Detlef Sierck (later known as Douglas Sirk). After the other two films of her contract, La Habanera/Cheated by the Wind (Detlef Sierck, 1937) with Ferdinand Marian, and Heimat/Home (Carl Froelich, 1938) with Heinrich George, she was so popular that Josef Goebbels, who according to his diaries did not like her, had to continue her contract. On renewal, her salary increased even further, and in 1940 the Ufa offered her a contract for six films, to be produced in the following two years, for a total of 1 million Reichsmark. Zu neuen Ufern had launched songs such as 'Ich steh' im Regen' (Standing in the rain) and 'Yes, Sir', that were sold on record in various languages. These songs earned her more money than her films, even if she was the best-paid German female film star in the early 1940s. Her songs 'Davon geht die Welt nicht runter' (It is not the End of the World) and 'Ich weis, es wird einmal ein Wunder gescheh'n' (I Know One Day a Miracle Will Happen) from her film Die grosse Liebe/The Great Love (Rolf Hansen, 1942) received double entendre in the time they were distributed and struck chords with the Germans. Among her other films in those years were the comedy Der Blaufuchs/The Blue Fox (Viktor Tourjansky, 1938) with Paul Hörbiger, a biopic of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Es war eine rauschende Ballnacht/It was a Gay Ball Night (Carl Froelich, 1939) with Marika Rökk, Der Weg ins Freie/The Way to Freedom (Rolf Hansen, 1941) with Hans Stüwe, and the crime film Damals/In the Past (Rolf Hansen, 1942) again opposite Hans Stüwe. In her films, Leander often portrayed independent, fatal women, with strong will-power but haunted by destiny. In real life, she was a 'tough cookie' too, as she demanded that she should select her scripts and composers. At a party, Goebbels once asked her ironically: "Zarah... Isn't this a Jewish name?" "Oh, maybe", she answered him, "but what about Josef?" "Hmmm... yes, yes, a good answer", Goebbels had replied, according to IMDb.
Zarah Leander never became a party member and refused to take German citizenship, but her films and song lyrics were viewed by some as propaganda for the Nazi cause. After her villa in the fashionable Berlin suburb of Grunewald was bombed during an air raid in 1942 and the increasingly desperate Nazis pressured her to apply for German citizenship, she decided to break her contract with Ufa. In 1943, she secretly left Germany and retreated to Sweden, where she bought a mansion at Lönö, not far from Stockholm. Initially, she was shunned by much of the artistic community and public in Sweden (In 1936 the reactions were completely different when she started to work in Nazi Germany. Most of her Ufa films were very popular in Sweden as in the rest of Europe). In November 1944, Swedish radio decided to no longer play her records. But, as Antje Ascheid describes in her in-depth study 'Hitler's Heroines', Zarah's role was complex: "She regularly supported communal fundraisers and appeared in 'request concerts' - live radio shows in which famous star singers performed songs requested mostly by soldiers on the front - that aired all over the Reich. In addition, Leander was frequently depicted attending social functions at the homes of political leaders, which further linked her public persona to Nazi officials in power." After the war, she was severely questioned, but in 1947 she managed to record her songs again in Switzerland, where she also sang for the radio. Concert tours followed, first in Switzerland, then in 1948-1949 in Germany; and in 1949 she performed in Sweden again. Leander tried her luck once more in the film. Gabriela (Geza von Cziffra, 1950) was the third biggest box office hit of that year in Germany. The following films, Cuba Cubana (Fritz Peter Buch, 1952) with the new and younger idol O. W. Fischer, and Ave Maria (Alfred Braun, 1953) with her old partner Hans Stüwe, were both disappointments.
Thus Zarah Leander's film career came to an end, even though she still did four more films till 1966. Her last film was the Italian comedy Come imparai ad amare le donne/Love Parade (Luciano Salce, 1966) with Michèle Mercier, Nadja Tiller, and Anita Ekberg. Leander would continue with musicals and operettas on stage, however, and she also sang her now evergreens in TV shows. She published her memoirs, 'Zarah's minion' (Zarah's Memories), in 1972. In 1975 she played in her last musical, 'Das Lächeln einer Sommernacht' by Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler based on Ingmar Bergman's film Sommernattens leende/Smiles of a Summer Night (1955). In 1979 Zarah Leander officially retired and in 1981 she died of a stroke in Stockholm and was buried on her estate Lönö. She was married three times. After Nils Leander, she was married to journalist Vidar Forsell (1932-1943). Her third husband was pianist Arne Hülphers from 1956 till his death in 1978. In 2003 a bronze statue was raised in Zarah Leander's hometown of Karlstad at the Opera House of Värmland where she began her career. After years of discussions, the town government, at last, accepted this statue on behalf of the first Swedish local Zarah Leander Society. A year later the book 'The Mystery of Olga Chekhova' (2004) by Anthony Beevor was published, in which the author claimed that both Olga Tschechova and Zarah Leander worked for Soviet intelligence during World War II. According to the author she supplied information about Nazi Germany to a Soviet contact during her visits home to Sweden. In Germany, Zarah Leander is still an icon of the gay community, and her persona has been recreated by many drag queens. Performers like Nina Hagen have covered her songs, and director Quentin Tarantino used her song 'Davon geht die Welt nicht runter' (It is not the End of the World) in his war thriller Inglourious Basterds (2009).

9 May 2012 - The United Nations has distributed humanitarian aid to 175 internally displaced families in the northern province of Balkh who were forced to leave their home due to ongoing drought and insecurity. The families from Tandorak village in the Charkent district are currently living in the Nasaji area of Mazar-e Sharif.
“We left our homes due to insecurity and unemployment and now we do labour work,” said Mohammad Akbar.
“The Taliban started infiltrating our villages and government forces conducted counterinsurgency operations, night raids, planes, bombs made us leave the area,” he added.
Many families in Charkent migrated to the cities abandoning their homes and families when their crops failed due to a lack of rain-fed farming last year. Some have been living in Mazar-e Sharif for nearly five months.
The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) together with its governmental counterpart – provincial department of repatriation and refuges, distributed yesterday aid donated by UNHCR, World Food Programme (WFP) and International Organization for Migration (IOM).
Each family package included blankets, plastic sheets, cooking supplies, gas cylinders, gas containers, soap, a metal bucket, beans, oil and salt.
“I am the only supporter of a family of seven members and I am thankful to the UN for this assistance,” said Amrullah, adding that he hoped for more aid. “I do labor work for 250 AFN (equivalent to USD 5 ) per day and it’s hard to manage supporting a seven-member family on that amount.”
UNHCR has assisted over 1000 IDP families with humanitarian aid since the beginning of this year in the north and northeastern provinces of Balkh, Jawzjan, Faryab and Kunduz and is planning to assist hundreds more vulnerable IDP families in coming weeks in the same region.

STOP LINE 3 & DAPL \\ BUILD BACK FOSSIL FREE
Oakland Federal Building
February 27th, 2021
Massive, beautiful STREET MURAL in Oakland, CA., sponsored by Idle No More SF Bay, Climate Justice Street Mural Project, Distributed Sound Collective, 1,000 Grandmothers for Future Generations and East Point Peace Academy.
From the organizers:
"We are here to protect the water, climate and communities in solidarity with indigenous-led movements fighting the Line 3 and (DAPL) Dakota Access Pipe Lines. We call on the Biden/Harris administration to cancel these pipelines and to Build Back Fossil Free-- to end the era of fossil fuel production, and protect communities reeling from the climate and COVID-19"
The big message was "STOP LINE 3 & DAPL \\ BUILD BACK FOSSIL FREE" with 12 groups painting their own visions for future generations.
Mayer China distributed their wares throughout the world. We didn't realize that gowing up in the area. It was located on Second Ave in Beaver Falls Pa. There's only one building remaining and it is being turned into apartments.
Funny thing is my daughter and I saw everyone putting these on in a line. We jumped in the line having no idea what it was for we just thought it was another giveaway. They told us to put them on and they stamped our hand with a "NPH". The line was at a stand still and come to find out it was for a signing. We jumped out of the line. I've never seen Harold and Kumar before but after this promotion I think I might have to rent it. They also had a unicorn as a prop at the top of the New Line booth. If you were there and have pictures please post them below. Thanks New Line. Photo by michaelpoulin@dyingindowney.com

Wednesday, 1 April 2015: Lokpa (2240 m) to Chumling (2385 m)
Only a half day today, but still an early start. A walk along rhododendron-lined path, dropping down to a tea house by the bridge across the Sardi Khola (a long bridge, a deep gorge and the river a long, long way below = wobbly legs for me!), before zig zagging back up high again, shaded by pine forest, and to the village of Chumling.
A short way from the gompa and chorten - in true Tsum now, totally Tibetan - we set up camp by the stone-built weaving sheds where some of the village ladies were trimming their newly woven aprons. Green fields of barley, and a lovely welcome-with-a-flower from two small children.
As word spread of our arrival, villagers from far and wide arrived to ask for an LED solar light for their home. Leaving Hazel, Anthony and the trek crew to relax for the afternoon, Val, Namgyal and I headed off with a young guy from lower Tsum as our guide to distribute lights to the families in Tharung - a handful of farmhouses set amidst barley fields clinging to the steep mountain slopes of the river valley “just around the corner”. A lot of up and down! A fantastic afternoon - very special welcomes, with invitations to take some Tibetan butter tea and very heartfelt thank yous.
In bed by 8pm - not unusual on trek!

August 19, 2011 - North of Wilcox Nebraska US

This would become an epic night of light and storm! Some of my best lighting captures of 2011 are in this set!
A few hours later that evening storms in north central Kansas fired up again as they were pushing into south central Nebraska. @ This time with severe warnings, the lightning was firing off.
I was in luck! They were foretasted to move almost due norht / northeast over the next few hours and I just had to find a good location. Due to the time of year the corn here in this part of Nebraska is at its peak. 13-16 foot corn. I had to find a spot that I could see over the corn.
I grabbed my gear & headed south. Made my way down, via country roads, from Kearney just to the north of Wilcox Nebraska. I sat along side this storm as it produced one of the most EPIC displays of lightning for 2011. Every few seconds there was incredible cloud to ground lightning. Sometimes it would spider out (cloud to cloud) and sometimes it would just be a fork or a positive cg bolt that was out of this world.

Hizmet Relief distributes hot meals in Haiti after the earthquake.
Hizmet Relief sent 119 volunteers to help the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. Hizmet Relief was the first organization to distribute food after the earthquake. Volunteers distributed hot meals to 1000 people each day for 30 days. Because of the earthquake many people were left homeless. Hizmet Relief distributed tents, blankets and clothes.
15 doctors attended this vital campaign and gave medical help to the injured. Hizmet Relief strongly believes that the impact moment is the time when the help is most needed but in order to help people in need for a long duration of time futuristic projects should be brought to life. Hizmet Relief and Kimse Yok Mu built a medical clinic. The clinic is planned to be in operation in the next year.

Loved ones recall slain trooper
Buzz up! By Michael Hasch, TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Tuesday, December 13, 2005
Cpl. Joseph Pokorny was many things -- a fearless policeman, an avid hunter, a private person who would give a friend the shirt off his back -- but most of all, he was a devoted father.
"He cared for his kids more than anything in the world," said his brother, Frank Pokorny, wiping tears from his eyes Monday outside his family's home in Beaver County.
Pokorny, 45, of Moon, a 22-year state police veteran, was shot and killed while making a traffic stop early yesterday near the Rosslyn Farms on-ramp to the Parkway West in Carnegie.
"He was a dedicated trooper and devoted father to his two children," said Robinson District Judge Carla Swearingen, one of the small but trusted circle of people Pokorny called friends.
Pokorny opted to work a steady midnight shift so he could be home during the day with his son, Joseph, 17, known as Jake, and daughter, Alexandre, 15, known as Ali.
"If he gave you his word, he stood by it. His biggest priority was his children. Everybody that knew him liked him," said Swearingen.
Pokorny was nearly 6 feet tall and 200 pounds, but he was small in childhood and learned at an early age how to defend himself from larger bullies, Frank Pokorny said.
"He was extremely fearless. He didn't take anything from anybody. He was a very hard-nosed person," his brother said.
Joseph Pokorny received a letter of commendation for bravery after an incident on July 8 when state police began chasing a man suspected of drunken driving and pulling a gun on a trooper.
When troopers tried to end the high-speed chase by putting spike strips on the Beaver Valley Expressway, the motorist turned around and began driving the wrong way.
When Pokorny saw the motorist trying to ram the side of a police car, he steered his cruiser into the path of the speeding car, hitting it head-on in a fiery collision.
"He saved one of our guys by taking on the other guy head-on," said state police Cpl. Kenneth Yuhas, one of several troopers offering condolences and support yesterday to Pokorny's parents, Florence and Joseph R. Pokorny, in Center Township.
"He actually put his life on the line by ramming the vehicle and stopping (it)," said Col. Jeffrey Miller, the head of the state police. "He was a very aggressive and conscientious corporal, always out there backing up the troops."
Pokorny, who joined the state police in 1983 after graduation from Indiana University in Bloomington, Ind., spent much of his career working dangerous undercover narcotics and vice details, his brother said.
In 1990, he joined the state police Tactical Narcotics Team based in Greensburg, Westmoreland County.
"He would never tell me stories about it except that it was scary and it was ugly," Frank Pokorny said. "(Other troopers) tell me he was always the first one through the front door with the battering ram."
Tom Alexander, who was Pokorny's football coach at Center Area High School, remembers "Joey" as a student who gave his all on the football field and in the classroom.
"Joey was one of those kids who played hard. He chose a rough career. He was a good student," Alexander said.
Pokorny's smile is what impressed state police Cpl. David Bova. "The thing I'll miss the most is his laugh and his big smile," Bova said.
"He was a great kid, a great adult who was fun-loving in high school but took his job seriously," said Anthony Mendicino, principal of Center Area High School, where Pokorny graduated in 1978.
Frank Pokorny said his brother did not decide to pursue a career in law enforcement until his last semester in school.
Following his promotion to corporal in September 2000, Joseph Pokorny served at various stations --including Belle Vernon, Fayette County -- until January 2003 when he became the vice supervisor for Troop B headquarters in Washington County.
Pokorny, who also is survived by a sister, Laura Hill, of Center, became a patrol supervisor in Moon in July 2004, but refused to be tied to a desk reading reports.
"He was, like, caffeinated. He was high-speed. He would go out and get the job done. He was not a slug," said Trooper Robin Mungo, a state police spokeswoman.
"He always wanted to be out on the road with the guys," Yuhas said.
But Frank Pokorny said his brother was "a very private" man.
"He certainly was not a mixer. He had a very small circle of friends. He was very guarded until you earned his trust and respect. Then he'd give you the shirt off his back," Frank Pokorny said.
"He was like a brother to me," said Ronald Evans, who often went hunting with the Pokorny brothers. "He was a great guy, the best. You knew you could count on him."
Crystal Hoffman, who lives near Joseph Pokorny's home in the Sharon Hill Manor neighborhood of Moon, said she regularly returned Pokorny's golden retriever when it broke free of its tether and ended up at her home.
"I didn't know Joe well, but he seemed to have a very a good sense of humor. He seemed like the kind of guy who really enjoyed life," Hoffman said.
The Pokorny brothers were avid hunters who made a number of trips together to hunt elk out West.
They last saw each other last week when Joseph Pokorny visited his brother's home in Hanover, Beaver County.
"He went out in the back woods to go hunting. He was an incredible woodsman. When he came back, he said he saw a buck but didn't shoot it. He smiled and said, 'I didn't want to.'"
Frank Pokorny, known as "Fearless Frank" for his special teams play for the Steelers in 1985 and '86, made no effort to hide his pain and tears.
"He was my older brother. I loved and miss everything about him."
