CALIFORNIA PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION SAN DIEGO NEWSREEL 1935 89664
This vintage silent newsreel shows the California Pacific International Exposition held in San Diego, California during May 29, 1935–November 11, 1935 and February 12, 1936–September 9, 1936. The exposition was held in Balboa Park, San Diego's large central urban park, which had also been the site of the earlier Panama-California Exposition in 1915.
The Exposition was held to promote San Diego and support its economy, which had slowed with the country's Great Depression. The first year was such a financial and attendance success that it was held over for a second year. The exposition had hundreds of exhibits on history, the arts, horticulture, ethnic cultures, science, and industry. Some concessions and exhibits were unusual, such as the Gold Gulch, Lost Continent of Mu, Zoro Garden Nudist Colony, and the One Ton Mechanical Man.
The buildings from the 1915 fair were in Spanish Colonial Revival Style architecture, designed by Bertram Goodhue and Carleton Winslow. Architect Richard Requa designed the new permanent buildings to be added for the 1935 fair. He wrote that his goal was to relate pre-Columbian Indian buildings and temples, like those found in the Southwest and Mexico, to the modern era; his model was the 1915 New Mexico Building, which he remodeled into a Palace of Education. Many of the new large buildings were in this style, including the California State Building (now the San Diego Automotive Museum), Palace of Electricity (now a gymnasium), and Palace of Water and Transportation (no longer existent).
Other new buildings included:
The Old Globe Theatre, a copy of a theatre built for the Chicago fair, which in turn was a copy of the original Globe Theatre in London. During the Exposition it showed 50-minute adaptations of plays by William Shakespeare. After the fair it was remodeled and roofed over, and continued to show theatrical productions. The building burned down in 1978 but was rebuilt and is now the focus of a three-theater complex.
The circular Ford Building, generally regarded as the architectural wonder of the Exposition, now the home of the San Diego Air and Space Museum.
The Ford Bowl, now called the Starlight Bowl, an amphitheater used for concerts and theatrical productions.
The House of Pacific Relations, a collection of fifteen small tan red-tiled cottages which were dedicated to different foreign countries; these International Cottages are still in use by a consortium of groups from 32 countries as a focus of educational activities, outreach, and international festivals.
Spanish Village, a group of six buildings used for shops, restaurants, and a children's theater; it is now an Art Center featuring 37 working art studios and galleries.
While some of the extensive gardens from the 1915 Panama California Exposition remained, they were redesigned from formal gardens to gardens overflowing with lush abundance of exotic plants. Many were reimagined by renowned architect Richard Requa who was influenced by the gardens he had seen traveling in Spain. Today's Alcazar garden, Zoro Garden, and the garden at Cafe del Rey Moro are all Requa designs.

22 Insane Mansions Of the Year - TheRichest
22 Insane Mansions Of the Year - TheRichest ..A mansion is a large dwelling house.
The word itself derives through Old French from the Latin word mansio dwelling, an abstract noun derived from the verb manere to dwell. The English word manse originally defined a property large enough for the parish priest to maintain himself, but a mansion is no longer self-sustaining in this way (compare a Roman or medieval villa). 'Manor' comes from the same root—territorial holdings granted to a lord who would remain there—hence it is easy to see how the word 'Mansion' came to have its meaning. 22 Insane mansions of the year.As the 16th century progressed, and Renaissance styles of architecture slowly spread across Europe, the last vestiges of castle architecture and life changed; the central points of these great house, great halls, became redundant as owners wished to live separately from their servants, and no longer ate with them in a Great Hall. All evidence and odours of cooking and staff were banished from the principal parts of the house into distant wings, while the owners began to live in airy rooms, above the ground floor, with privacy from their servants, who were now confined, unless required, to their specifically delegated areas—often the ground and uppermost attic floors. This was a period of great social change, as the educated prided themselves on enlightenment.[3]
The uses of these edifices paralleled that of the Roman villas. It was vital for powerful people and families to keep in social contact with each other as they were the primary moulders of society. The rounds of visits and entertainments were an essential part of the societal process, as painted in the novels of Jane Austen. State business was often discussed and determined in informal settings. Times of revolution reversed this value. During July/August 1789 a significant number of French country mansions (chateaux) were destroyed by the rural population as part of the Great Fear - a symbolic rejection of the feudal rights and restraints in effect under the ancient régime.[4]
Until World War I it was not unusual for a moderately sized mansion in England such as Cliveden to have an indoor staff of 20 and an outside staff of the same size[citation needed], and in ducal mansions such as Chatsworth House the numbers could be far higher. In the great houses of Italy, the number of retainers was often even greater than in England; whole families plus extended relations would often inhabit warrens of rooms in basements and attics. It is doubtful that a 19th-century Marchesa would even know the exact number of individuals who served her. Most European mansions were also the hub of vast estates. A true estate (the medieval villa, French ville) always contains at least one complete village and its church. Large estates such as that of Woburn Abbey have several villages attached.

House of Turkey Excerpt from The Ethnic Food Fair, May 29, 2016
Every year during the month of May, The House of Pacific Relations presents its annual Ethnic Food Fair. The House of Pacific Relations is composed of thirty-three ethnic organizations. You can enjoy food from all 33 nations, at the Ethnic Food Fair. This year, nine of the groups presented their ethnic music for you to enjoy with your meals.
The six hour musical program will take me a while to edit, and produce a video. But after the House of Turkey presentation, so many people from so many nations, including Turkey, China, Iran and The United States, asked me where they can see the House of Turkey portion of the program, that I decided to edit a House of Turkey excerpt from the larger presentation, and get it on YouTube, as soon as possible.
So, here is İLHAN SAMİ ÖZULU, Ph.D from Istanbul University, Turkey, representing The House of Turkey. A big thank you to Dr. Özulu and to The House of Turkey. And I thank you all for watching. I hope you enjoy this presentation as much as I enjoyed filming it.

2019 Visiting Scholar - California as a Nation-State: Innovative or Inevitable?
California has long been able to command international respect and take action on the global stage. However our state’s economic and cultural size has always meant that its international activities raise many questions, from the strategic to the practical. How our state reconciles the demands of globalization while balancing its role with the increasingly international activities of cities, counties and tribes is crucial to the economic, political, and cultural future of the state in the 21st Century.
Join us as Dr. Alison Holmes of Humboldt State University shares her research on this important topic, and discusses it with a panel of scholars and experts.

CODY SNODGRES RE BLACK OPS WITH OLE DAMMEGARD
An interview with Black Ops Whistleblower, Cody Snodgres with investigator/author Ole Dammegard Wednesday, December 6th @ 1pm PT.
From Ole Dammegard: …”
Dear Kerry,
…”After 22 years of silence, my friend and former independent Black Ops Contractor Cody Snodgres, has decided to step forward as a whistleblower. In 1994 he was offered 1 000 000 USD by the CIA to bomb the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City. When he turned it down, he went from being an asset to a liability and the agency then tried to kill him on several occasions. Two times he died, but hospital staff managed to bring him back to life. This will also cover Cody’s experience with black ops and money laundered through the Clinton and Bush crime families.”–paraphrased message from Ole Dammegard
