Waltham, MA - This wonderful city
Often referred to as the Watch City, Waltham is certainly a city to watch. Just nine miles west of Boston, Waltham offers its own urban paradise with an endless selection of eateries, unique housing options and open green spaces.
If you’re looking for a high-end culinary experience, there’s no need to head into Boston – just walk over to Waltham’s “restaurant row” on Moody Street. There you’ll find everything from swanky steakhouses to Spanish tapas, an Indian buffet to fancy charcuterie. With new restaurants popping up all the time, your taste buds will never be bored. And you can get a little taste of everything at the annual Waltham Food and Wine Festival.
With easy access to Boston through two commuter rail stops and several exits along Route 128, Waltham is convenient place to call home. There’s something for everyone in the housing market, too – from quaint Colonials to lofts in converted factories. A great walkable downtown gives that city vibe without the Boston price tag.

There are also a large number of estates within the city for residents to tour and enjoy, including Gore Place, the Paine Estate and the Lyman Estate.
Biking to work or running on the weekend along the Charles isn’t just for Boston residents. The river runs through Waltham, too, and provides a great way to residents to get outdoors. There are many other ways to enjoy the great outdoors in Waltham, like the 250-acre Prospect Park, which includes great hiking trails and picnic tables.
If you’re looking for still other things to do, there are many unique cultural offerings in Waltham as well. The Embassy Cinema downtown gives Waltham residents a great place to catch chart topping and independent films alike. The Waltham Philharmonic Orchestra and the Waltham Symphony Orchestra both regularly put on concerts.

Pocketwatch - Opening the Back
Here you can see an ebay purchase I received. I open it to reveal the inner workings, while it is running. Kinda cool.
Yes, I'm quite aware that the video stops at a most unfortunate time.
It's a nice watch, good size, weight, and look, and for a long time I've wanted a pocketwatch of my own, without going into a store and spending $100+ I think, with shipping, I spent about $45 USD (About $55 Canadian, or so).
THE LEGEND OF TARZAN - Official Trailer 2
Alexander Skarsgård stars in THE LEGEND OF TARZAN - in theaters July 2016.
---
From Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures comes the action adventure “The Legend of Tarzan,” starring Alexander Skarsgård (HBO’s “True Blood”) as the legendary character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
The film also stars Oscar nominee Samuel L. Jackson (“Pulp Fiction,” the “Captain America” films), Margot Robbie (“The Wolf of Wall Street”), Oscar nominee Djimon Hounsou (“Blood Diamond,” “Gladiator”), Oscar nominee John Hurt (“The Elephant Man,” the “Harry Potter” films), with Oscar winner Jim Broadbent (“Iris”), and two-time Academy Award winner Christoph Waltz (“Inglourious Basterds,” “Django Unchained”).
It has been years since the man once known as Tarzan (Skarsgård) left the jungles of Africa behind for a gentrified life as John Clayton III, Lord Greystoke, with his beloved wife, Jane (Robbie) at his side. Now, he has been invited back to the Congo to serve as a trade emissary of Parliament, unaware that he is a pawn in a deadly convergence of greed and revenge, masterminded by the Belgian, Captain Leon Rom (Waltz). But those behind the murderous plot have no idea what they are about to unleash.
David Yates (the final four “Harry Potter” films, upcoming “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”) directed “The Legend of Tarzan” from a screenplay by Adam Cozad and Craig Brewer, story by Brewer and Cozad based on the Tarzan stories created by Burroughs. Legendary producer Jerry Weintraub (“Behind the Candelabra,” the “Ocean’s” trilogy) produced the film, together with David Barron (the “Harry Potter” films, “Cinderella”), Alan Riche (“Southpaw”) and Tony Ludwig (“Starsky & Hutch”). Susan Ekins, Nikolas Korda, Keith Goldberg, David Yates, Mike Richardson and Bruce Berman served as executive producers.
The behind-the-scenes creative team included director of photography Henry Braham (“The Golden Compass”), Oscar-winning production designer Stuart Craig (“Dangerous Liaisons,” “The English Patient,” the “Harry Potter” films), editor Mark Day (“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Parts 1 & 2”), and Oscar-nominated costume designer Ruth Myers (“Emma,” “Unknown”).
“The Legend of Tarzan” was shot at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden, as well as on location around the UK.
A Jerry Weintraub production, “The Legend of Tarzan” is slated for release on July 1, 2016. The film will be distributed in 2D and 3D in select theatres and IMAX by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company, and in select territories by Village Roadshow Pictures.

Riding one of the elevators at Kenmore Row. This elevator serves 3 floors, but in the video, we only go through two. I didn't see a label for the top floor, so why should I bother going there? For all I know it could be restricted.

Terrorism in the United States
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.
