![]() ![]() "Miss Morgan, we are tired of camping out in the open at the ranch in San Simeon and I would like to build a little something," Hearst initially wrote to Morgan. The architect was 47-year-old Julia Morgan, who was the first woman to receive a certification in architecture from L'École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and California's first licensed female architect. He had plans to build a small bungalow on what the family often called "Camp Hill" and contacted the architect responsible for renovating his late mother's home.ģ. By then, it had grown to encompass 250,000 acres. William inherited the land in 1919 from his mother (George Hearst had died in 1891). Although he was quite young at the time, the trip left an impression on William and when he designed the Castle decades later, he incorporated a vast array of different European styles of architecture and artwork.Ģ. When William was 10, his mother, Phoebe Apperson Hearst, took him on a grand tour around Europe that lasted a year and a half. The family used the property as a camping retreat. William was born in 1863 just two years later, his father, George Hearst, purchased 40,000 acres of ranchland in San Simeon using the millions he'd made from a career in mining. Over the course of a guided tour of the grounds and a viewing of Building the Dream, a 40-minute video on the history of the castle that features some great vintage footage, I learned where the zebras came from and much more about the 20th century castle commissioned by William Randolph Hearst.ġ. Many specific aspects of the castle were inspired by a trip young William took with his mother around Europe. I didn't know it then, but the zebras were a sign that I had all but arrived at my destination: The Hearst Castle. But undoubtedly the most unexpected sight I came upon during a recent road-trip from San Diego to San Francisco was a small group of zebras, looking surprisingly right at home along the side of the road just south of Los Padres National Forest and somewhere north of where we'd spent the night in San Luis Obispo. There's plenty to see as you cruise along California's famed Highway 1. ![]()

The reports, which cite a fake NASA document, incorrectly claim that from 2:50 a.m. Glaser is a staff writer for the College of Arts and Sciences.In recent days, rumors have been spinning around that Earth will experience 15 days of darkness this November. It will take until October of next year to replay all the data. Olkin said she’d expected Charon to be cratered like Earth’s moon, but it proved much more interesting, with deep canyons extending almost all the way around, mountains surrounded by sunken terrain, and a large area at the north pole the mission scientists have nicknamed “Mordor Macula.”īut, said Olkin, only 25 percent of the data from New Horizons has been received so far. The moons of Pluto, too, offered many surprises. “They’re probably made out of water ice because other kinds of ice would relax after a while and not keep the sharp crests that we see in the images.” “It was pretty exciting to find mountains, about as high as the Rockies,” Olkin said. These surprised scientists by containing ice at their bottoms, which may indicate that the glacier has flowed recently. Olkin gave a visual tour of her favorite sites on Pluto, which include what may be ice volcanoes, called cryovolcanoes, and impact craters at the edges of the glacial region. Part of the region is a large glacier made of exotic ices: methane, carbon monoxide and nitrogen, all gases found on Earth. The mission team chose an area to aim their cameras where there was an interesting mix of ices, said Olkin – which turned out to include the heart-shaped region that has become so famous. Without any moving platforms, the only way to point the instruments is to move the entire spacecraft Harch said she and the sequencing team had to craft 10,000 commands for the nine-day flyby: “That’s why it took 10 years to plan.” Its nuclear power source – just enough to run two lightbulbs on earth – will be sufficient to continue operating the spacecraft until around 2040, if NASA approves further investigations. Its speed is so great, she added, that it has escape velocity from the solar system and it will keep going. It passed the Moon in nine hours,” she said. “This is the fastest object ever to leave Earth’s orbit, launched at 36,000 miles per hour. Harch, lead sequencer of the science instruments on the spacecraft, described the difficult challenge of targeting with the spacecraft and scheduling the sequence of actions it would take during its brief flyby. ![]() The contrast with the New Horizons photos she shared was so startling that the audience broke into applause. Olkin, deputy project scientist, showed the best previous photo scientists had of Pluto – a blurred blob of light. It was an incredible experience to be among the first people to see these ice mountains.” ![]() But we didn’t expect they’d be several kilometers high. “Everyone rushed to their desks to calculate the height of the mountains. ’15, who will join the New Horizons mission team at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, in January as a postdoc, recalled his excitement when he saw the first high-resolution image.Įven as it was being processed and beginning to appear at the top of the screen, “we could see significant topography in the image,” he said. It took 50 years for this achievement – and it took New Horizons itself almost 10 years to cover the 4.67 billion miles to Pluto. “This is the last of the classically considered planets to be visited by spacecraft.” “New Horizons represents a particular milestone because it is the completion of mankind’s initial exploration of the solar system,” said Phil Nicholson, professor of astronomy in the College of Arts and Sciences, in his introduction. 2 for a behind-the-scenes look at the New Horizons mission to Pluto, given by mission scientists Cathy Olkin and Ann Harch in the Schwartz Auditorium in Rockefeller Hall.

A month later, Lehman Brothers collapsed, and his business, his net worth, and his reputation were teetering. Many people saw it the way the Chinese wanted them to, as an assertion of capability and might, but to him it was a heedless farewell binge-the great eruption that marked the end of a prodigal age. The final one, the big wheel felt, was the opening ceremony at the summer Olympics in Beijing: an estimated three hundred million dollars spent in a single night on a propaganda extravaganza. He and his partners continued to gorge on highly leveraged assets. Still, he failed to convert this intimation into discipline or conviction being a billionaire is distracting. He didn’t doubt that he was talented, even exceptional-if you harnessed the self-regard in that room, you could light up Los Angeles-but he perceived, in a way that he hadn’t before, the inequity of it all, and how corrosive and unsustainable it had become. It was the first time in a long while that he had questioned his own intelligence, or whether there was a limit to what it was worth. Here were eighty guys who all happened to live in the same part of the world and ply the same trade, and who could not possibly be as smart as their rapid accumulation of dynastic wealth had led them to believe. There were eighty or so people there, almost all of them men, and he calculated that their average income in 2006 had been more than a hundred million dollars. His epiphany came in the spring of 2007, at a Goldman Sachs hedge-fund conference at the Museum of Modern Art. One evening, I visited a big-wheel hedge-fund manager in his corner office overlooking Central Park. To many, this would have been proof that America is a land of opportunity, but to him it signalled a fatal imbalance between obligation and means. They cleared sixty-five thousand dollars on the deal, in a matter of months. She drove down with her husband every weekend from New York, six hours each way, to fix it up for resale. A private-equity executive I talked to said that he sensed the jig was up when his cleaning woman-“from Nicaragua or El Salvador or wherever the fuck she’s from”-took out a subprime loan to buy a house in Virginia. Some will tell a maid tale, the latter-day equivalent of the stock tip from the shoeshine boy (which, according to lore, persuaded Bernard Baruch and Joseph Kennedy to pull out of the market before the 1929 crash). A pulse of common sense suggests, This can’t last. vestibule: a two-hundred-dollar dinner, a traffic jam in bathroom fixtures, fees on top of fees on top of fees. In the early days, intimations of economic imbalance could come to you in a fancy restaurant, or a Home Depot, or an A.T.M. As a broker said to me, “If it’s the end of the world, you only get to bet on it once.”įor many, the awakening came while they were driving through some over-built exurb in Florida or California, or watching a commercial for a subprime lender (“Mortgage consultants are standing by!”), or studying a graph depicting the ratio of total debt to the gross domestic product. It concluded that the world needed a “do-over.” “Can I have a do-over, please?” the cynic wrote. One day in March, as the Dow fell to its lowest level in a dozen years, he e-mailed me an investment letter, in which a hedge-fund manager surveyed the world’s insolvent banks and unstable sovereigns and anticipated a possible collapse of the global financial and monetary systems-the end of fiat currencies and the beginning of Lord knows what. The markets turned, and the hedge fund went under. He bought a house and went to work for a hedge fund-the latecomer playing catch-up, eager for a piece. Meanwhile, life and the general mood conspired to compound his long position. ![]() He foresaw a grisly end to the credit boom, if not a collapse in the markets for stocks, real estate, art, mediocrity, and foolishness, and yet, like most people, he lacked the conviction and, perhaps, the macroeconomic purview to translate his misgivings into financial gain. I met a Wall Street cynic who had grumbled for years about the overextended consumer, the negative savings rate, and a profligate government that some day would be unable to make good on its promises. Most of the mechanisms in place for the implementation of pessimism are known only to members of the guild. The sad fact is that betting against the global financial system requires more than pluck you need to be a participant. The majority didn’t expect it to be so bad, and wouldn’t have been able to profit from or guard against it anyway. Maybe it came too late or went unheeded, so that now it nettles. Maybe it helped a guy make money, or at least lose less. Most people by now may recall a moment of clarity, an inkling of doom. ![]() ![]() ![]() Premium Calibrated Oval and Octagonal Amethysts with top Deep Siberian Purple Colour of reddish purple from Lot Nyay It is a gemstone that helps in overcoming inferiority complex.
