Fort Collins - In A Colorado Minute (Week 318)
- - Fort Collins is a college town in Northern Colorado that gets mentioned on many Best Cities in the US lists. It's also the town where I currently live. Fort Collins in Larimer County is perfectly situated along the Cache la Poudre River, between the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains and the Pawnee Grassland of the Great Plains. It's only 65 miles north of Colorado state capital Denver and about 35 miles south of Wyoming.
The town started as a military outpost of the US Army in 1864. Since then it has grown to 56 square miles and a population of about 150,000. Fort Collins sits 5,003 feet (1,525 meters) above sea level - but has enough river banks, lakes and the magnificent Horsetooth Reservoir for you not to miss the actual sea (too much).
Fort Collins is home to Colorado State University (CSU) and about 20 breweries; most notably New Belgium, Odell and (I suppose) Anheuser-Busch Brewing.
There are many perks to living in Fort Collins - and I tried to squeeze most of my favorites into this 1-minute video - plus CSU football ;-)
In order of appearance:
Rocky Mountains (featuring Longs Peak)
Historic homes with porches on tree-lined streets
Historic Old Town (downtown), after which Disney's Main Street was modeled
Pianos About Town
Concert venues (e.g., Aggie Theatre) and lots of bars (e.g., The Whiskey and my favorite: Surfside 7)
Micro-breweries (e.g., New Belgium Brewing)
Holiday Twin Drive-In movie theater
Colorado State University (shown is Hughes Stadium of the Colorado Rams football team)
Wildlife all around (e.g., deer)
Cache la Poudre River and...
... the 5 major bike trails that are off the main roads and let you escape into nature while actually crossing town (e.g., the bridge seen in the video is part of the Poudre Trail)
Lots of lakes and ponds (e.g. Arapaho Bend Ponds)
Horsetooth Mountain (although I prefer Arthur's Rock when it comes to hiking)
Horsetooth Reservoir!!!
Since moving to Colorado in 2013, I have shot a lot of 1-minute videos about individual places and events in and around Fort Collins. You can see a list of them here:
It's been long overdue for me to make a single video giving an overview of this charming town. This week seemed like the right choice because it's the first video I got to shoot with my new Panasonic GH4 camera. Most of the footage was shot on 4k (Yay!) but down-converted to 1080 for upload. I'm still learning the camera, which explains the somewhat awful shot of the deer - since I accidentally shot that in 1080 and then played around with the digital zoom. But I couldn't not put it in. He's looking right into the camera!

Not enough lists? Check out the truly ridiculously long list of Honors and Awards won by Fort Collins on the city's website.
Personally, I have a few gripes with Fort Collins - but there's no need to publish that list right here. I'll be happy to share the negative aspects of this place with you over a delicious New Belgium Blue Paddle or Slow Ride next time we meet.

History
Gaspar de Portolá arrived in the area that would later become Beverly Hills on August 3, 1769.
By the early 1920s the population of Beverly Hills had grown enough to make the water supply a political issue.
In 1956, Paul Trousdale purchased the grounds of the Doheny Ranch and developed it into the Trousdale Estates, convincing the city of Beverly Hills to annex it. The neighborhood has been home to Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Tony Curtis, Ray Charles, President Richard Nixonand, more recently, Jennifer Aniston, David Spade, Vera Wang, and John Rich.
In the midst of the 2015 drought, Beverly Hills was found to be one of the biggest water consumers in all of California. As a result, they were asked by the state to reduce their consumption by 36%, prompting many residents to replace their lawns with native plants.
In July 2016, the City of Beverly Hills received the Livability Award from the United States Conference of Mayors for its Ambassador Program, which takes care of the city's homeless population.
Economy
Beverly Hills is home to one Fortune 500 company, Live Nation Entertainment. Since August 22, 2011, the headquarters of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer have been located in Beverly Hills.
The Los Angeles-area offices of Aeroflot and El Al are in Beverly Hills. Hilton Hotels Corporation formerly had its corporate headquarters in Beverly Hills. The original headquarters of GeoCities (at first Beverly Hills Internet) was at 9401 Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills.
Los Angeles, officially the City of Los Angeles and often known by its initials L.A., is the second-most populous city (over 18 million) in the United States (after New York City), the most populous city in California. Situated in Southern California, Los Angeles is known for its Mediterranean climate, ethnic diversity, sprawling metropolis, and as a major center of the American entertainment industry. Los Angeles lies in a large coastal basin surrounded on three sides by mountains reaching up to and over 10,000 feet.
WTH?!? N.Y. Judge Barred From Bench For Racist Social Media Post With MAGA Caption
The New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct announced that a state judge has been permanently barred from the bench after the commission filed a complaint over a threatening Facebook post that conveyed racial and/or political bias.
The official complaint shows that Altona Town Court Justice Kyle Canning had posted in February an image of a noose with text that read IF WE WANT TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN WE WILL HAVE TO MAKE EVIL PEOPLE FEAR PUNISHMENT AGAIN.

Police K-9 Attacks Innocent Black Woman
An innocent Black woman attacked by a police K-9 is suing the Saint Paul, Minnesota police department.
52-year-old Desiree Collins was taking out her trash, when the dog clamped down on her arm back in September. Collins suffered bites to her arm and leg. Her attorney says the officers made several mistakes, the dog was on a 20-foot leash, which allowed it to venture to areas not visible to the police officer. The attorney says the department needs to train their officers so this doesn't happen to another innocent person.

This cultural decade is more loosely defined than the actual decade, beginning around 1963 and ending around 1974.

SUMMARY
=======
The Dutch East India Company (Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie or VOC) is one of the most influential and best expertly researched companies/corporations in history. As an exemplary historical company-state, the VOC had effectively transformed itself from a corporate entity into a state, an empire, or even a world in its own right. The VOC World (i.e. networks of people, places, things, activities, and events associated with the Dutch East India Company) has been the subject of a vast amount of literature that includes both fiction and non-fiction works. VOC World studies is an international multidisciplinary field focused on social, cultural, religious, scientific, technological, economic, financial, business, maritime, military, political, legal, diplomatic activities, institutional organization, and administration of the VOC and its colourful world. Some of the notable VOC historians/scholars include Sinnappah Arasaratnam, Leonard Blussé, Peter Borschberg, Charles Ralph Boxer, Jaap Bruijn, Femme Gaastra, Om Prakash, Günter Schilder, and Nigel Worden.
In terms of global business history, the lessons from the VOC's success and failure are critically important. With a permanent capital base, the VOC was the first permanently organized limited-liability joint-stock company at the dawn of modern capitalism. As an early pioneering model of the modern corporation, the VOC was the first corporation to be ever actually listed on a formal stock exchange. In the early 1600s the VOC became the world's first formally listed public company (or publicly listed company) by widely issuing bonds and shares of stock to the general public. In many respects, modern-day publicly listed multinational corporations (including Forbes Global 2000 companies) are all 'descendants' of the 17th-century VOC business model.
For almost 200 years of its existence (1602–1800), the Company played crucial roles in business, financial, socio-politico-economic, military-political, diplomatic, legal, ethnic, and exploratory maritime history of the world. In the early modern period, the VOC was the driving force behind the rise of corporate-led globalization, corporate power, corporate identity, corporate culture, corporate social responsibility, corporate governance, corporate finance, corporate capitalism, and finance capitalism. It was the VOC's institutional innovations and business practices that laid the foundations for the rise of giant global corporations to become a highly significant and formidable socio-politico-economic force of the modern world as we know it today ...

This is a bibliography of works on World War II.
Joni Mitchell
Joni Mitchell, CC (born Roberta Joan Anderson; November 7, 1943), is a Canadian musician, singer songwriter, and painter. Mitchell began singing in small nightclubs in Saskatchewan and Western Canada and then busking in the streets and dives of Toronto. In 1965, she moved to the United States and began touring. Some of her original songs (Urge for Going, Chelsea Morning, Both Sides, Now, The Circle Game) were covered by notable folk singers, allowing her to sign with Reprise Records and record her own debut album in 1968.
Settling in Southern California, Mitchell, with popular songs like Big Yellow Taxi and Woodstock, helped define an era and a generation. Her 1971 recording Blue was rated the 30th best album ever made in Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Mitchell switched labels and began moving toward jazz rhythms by way of lush pop textures on 1974's Court and Spark, her best-selling LP, featuring the radio hits Help Me and Free Man in Paris.
