In 1984 the City of Los Angeles hosted the Summer Olympics for the second time (previously in 1932). The previous two Olympics (1976 in Montreal and 1980 in Moscow) were infamous for cost overruns (the former took 40 years to pay off), and the 1972 Olympics was marred by the massacre of Israeli athletes in Munich. Consequently not many cities were interested, and eventually Los Angeles won by default after Tehran dropped out following the Iranian Revolution. Meanwhile in response to the US-lead boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics, Russia and the Eastern Bloc countries boycotted the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.
The city strictly controlled for costs: all facilities except the swim stadium and a velodrome were already existing. The latter two were paid for by corporate sponsors. Pres Ronald Reagan opened the event. The United States set the record for most gold medals won in a single Summer Olympics (83) at Los Angeles. With limited infrastructural construction and coporate sponsorship, the Los Angeles Olympics are agreed to be one of the most successful modern Olympics.

Sheikh Khaled Abu Ras hosted the 2017 Abrahamic Reunion multi-faith Ramadan Iftar meal and gathering at his home in the village of Ilut, near Nazareth, on June 8th. 220 people gathered to celebrate the 14th annual iftar event, Jews, Christians, Muslims, and Druze, Israelis, Palestinians and internationals. People came from among these places: the Galilee and the Golan, Jerusalem, Nablus, Bethlehem, Jericho, Otniel and Tel Aviv. Guests included educators: local Arab school principals and Jewish professors.
The program began with a panel of religious peace leaders sharing about the meaning of fasting in their faith tradition. Religious leaders with West Bank Palestinian coordinators of the Abrahamic Reunion gathered for a group photo, then we all ascended to a large courtyard for the shared meal, which included a kosher option. After the meal Muslims and Jews went to pray their evening prayers side by side.
The evening closed with songs and blessings for peace. The program included Sufi chants in Arabic, a performance by a positive hip hop artist, teachings by a rabbi and Druze sheikh, sharing by the host Sheikh Khaled. Closing prayers for peace were led by religious women peacemakers, Muslim and ultra-Orthodox Jewish.
The gathering went on for hours...no one wanted to leave the positive feeling of Abrahamic unity.
International media were present to document and report the 'good news'...

On November 7, 2017, the Bureau of Land Management hosted a public meeting to solicit comments and provide information on Greater Sage-grouse land management issues. As stewards, the BLM manages public lands for the benefit of current and future generations, supporting conservation as we pursue our multiple-use mission. The meeting was held, in Burns, Oregon.
Participants were encouraged to speak with BLM staff on various topics related to the Greater sage-grouse. In addition to comments on the issues and planning criteria, the BLM would like to receive comments on whether the planning effort should occur through state-by-state amendment processes and decisions.
In accordance with the October 11, 2017 Notice of Intent, the BLM seeks comments on the Sagebrush Focal Area designation, mitigation standards, lek buffers, disturbance and density caps, adaptive management, and any other topics identified at the state or local level. The potential planning effort does not preclude the BLM from addressing issues and inconsistencies through other means, including policy, training, or plan maintenance, nor does it commit the BLM to amending some, all, or none of the Greater Sage-grouse plans.
Written comments can be submitted online at: bit/ly/GRSGplanning. or via email at: BLM_sagegrouseplanning@blm.gov

The Barcelona chair is a chair designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich. It was originally designed for the German Pavilion, that country's entry for the International Exposition of 1929, which was hosted by Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It was first used in Villa Tugendhat, a World Heritage Site designed by Mies van der Rohe in the city of Brno (Czech Republic).
The frame was initially designed to be bolted together, but was redesigned in 1950 using stainless steel, which allowed the frame to be formed by a seamless piece of metal, giving it a smoother appearance. Bovine leather replaced the ivory-colored pigskin which was used for the original pieces.
The functional design and elements of it that were patented by Mies in Germany, Spain and the United States in the 1930s have since expired. The Barcelona chair was manufactured in the US and Europe in limited production from the 1930s to the 1950s. In 1953 Mies ceded his rights and his name on the design to Knoll, knowing that his design patents were expired. This collaboration then renewed popularity in the design.
Knoll claims to be the current licensed manufacturer and holder of all trademark rights to the design. In 1965, Knoll purchased the trademark rights to the Barcelona word from Drexel. In 2004, Knoll received trade dress rights to the design from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Despite these trademarks, a large replica market continues. Gordon International New York has continued to manufacture the designs since the 1970s, even after a court battle against Knoll in 2005. In 2011, another court battle erupted between Knoll and RegencyShop.com; the outcome is pending. In 2013, RegencyShop.com filed a counter-suit against Knoll in Central District of California, Western Division alleging fraud on the USPTO regarding Barcelona furniture designs.
Although many architects and furniture designers of the Bauhaus era were intent on providing well-designed homes and impeccably manufactured furnishings for the "common man," the Barcelona chair was an exception. It was designed for the Spanish Royalty to oversee the opening ceremonies of the exhibition and described by Time magazine as inhabiting "his sumptuous German pavilion." The form is thought to be extrapolated from Roman folding chairs known as the Curule chair – upholstered stools used by Roman aristocracy. According to Knoll Inc., despite its industrial appearance the Barcelona chair requires much hand craftsmanship.
Since 1953 Knoll Inc has manufactured Barcelona chairs. They make the frame in two different steel configurations, chrome and stainless. They say that their chairs are almost completely hand-laboured, and that a facsimile of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's signature is stamped into each chair.
Barcelona chairs are made by other manufacturers worldwide and are sold under different marketing names.
In his 1981 book about modern architecture, From Bauhaus to Our House, Tom Wolfe mocked the Barcelona chair as "the Platonic ideal of chair", and wrote that, despite its high price, owning one had become a necessity for young architects: "When you saw the holy object on the sisal rug, you knew you were in a household where a fledgeling architect and his young wife had sacrificed everything to bring the symbol of the godly mission into their home."
