Greedy CO2 Absorbing Trees (Part 1 )

2012-07-31T23:31:00.001-07:00

Each type of plant does have different levels of carbon dioxide absorption. There’s many factors influence the capability of plant to this capability, among others, based on the quality of existing chlorophyll in the leaf, which is determined by the extent of magnesium at the heart of chlorophyll. The greater level of magnesium contained in plant chlorophyll, leaf color will be more dark green. Thus helping to optimize the process of photosynthesis. Besides the plants / fruit trees belong to best carbon sinks class. This is because of fruiting plants (Spermatophyta) requires more energy to produce flowers and fruit.

Alternative Tree for Conservation

Trembesi Tree

Environmental problems are hot issue recently. And these are no exaggeration to say that. We know that without environment we can not life and any environmental problems that occur, like weather change, acid rain, the reduce of ozon layer and the most familiar “global warming” are very disturb our life. That’s why, all of us race to conserve environment with any slogan, for example “ Save Our Earth”, “Let’s Go Green” and “Make Green Our Earth”.

Most of institution has dedicated their self as eco-friendly or conservatory institution. For example Semarang State University declared itself as a conservation university. On earth day last year, Indonesian government had been verbalizing and “One Man One Tree” program. Did you know what tree is selected to be icon in this program? The answer is Trembessi tree. Why did they choose Trembesi tree? What are the potential advantages of this tree compared with another trees? How is the description of this tree? Are there any alternative conservation trees?

Trembesi tree, do you know about this tree? It has big stem, spherical and high between 10-20 meters. The surface of the steam is rough, groove and brown-blackness color. The leaf is complex leaf and double pinnatus. A leaf has oblongus shape with length 2-6 cm, width 1-4 cm, flat leafside, green color and slippery surface.

Trembesi has red-yellowness flower. It produce black pea-shaped fruits with 30-40 cm in length. Inside the fruit there are some hard oval-shaped seeds with length about 5 mm and brown blackness color.

This tree is supposed originate from Mexico, Peru and Brazil. But it has been dispersed in all of tropical climate zone, include Indonesia.

Trembesi tree ( Albizia saman or Samanea saman) also known as “Ki Hujan”. It because the capability to absorb is very strong, so water is often dripping. At some districts in Indonesia, this tree also called as Kayu Ambon(Malay), Trembesi, Munggur, Punggur, Meh (Java). In English Trembesi has some name, such as: East Indian Walnut, Rain Tree, Saman Tree, Acacia Preta, and False Powder Puff. And in other countries it called as Pukul Lima (Malaysia),Jamjuree (Thailand), Cay Mura (Vietnam), Vilaiti Siris (India), Bhagaya Mara(Canada), Algarrobo (Cuba), Campano (Colombia), Regenbaum (Germany),Chorona (Portugal).

Trembesi has special characteristic that make our government choose it to conserve Indonesia. Its canopy like umbrella with leaf size is no more than Rp 100 coin. But it is the most excellent to absorb CO2.

All of us know that every green plant absorb CO2 to photosynthesis. But, do you know that one tree can absorb 20-30 gr a day. So, how about Trembesi? Doctor of forestry of Bogor Institute of Agriculture Dr. Ir. Endes N. Dahlan has researched 43 kinds of trees that is often be used to reforesting project. And the result proved that Trembesi tree is the most superior to absorb CO2. Besed on the research, one Trembesi tree could absorb 28.488,39 kg CO2 a year. It mean 78,05 kg CO2 could be absorbed by this tree a day. It’s big numeral, isn’t it?

Look at the table of comparison about absorption capability of trees.

Statistics:
1-2 : Very high
3-5 : High
6-10 : Rather high
11-16 : Medium
17-24 : Low
24-31 : Very low

According the table above we know that Trembesi is the most superior tree to absorb CO2 and the second place is Cassia tree. The comparison of absorption capability of Trembesi tree with oter trees are significant. This ia the first reason why Trembesi is the best choice for conservation.

Trembesi also multifunctional tree. Its roots can absorb water maximally. It suitabel for critical land or mountain to prevent landslide and flashflood. The stem is used as material building. The seed usually called “Mindhik” (Siter or Godril) not only as snack (like kwaci) but also function as laxative. And the leaf also can be used for skin disease medicine.

But unfortunately, this tree has so big and wide root lines, so it often damage buildings around it. Beside that, it has thick foliage that usually cover other plant under it, so the plant can not grow well.

From the explanation above, with all positive and negative side Trembessi is the best plant to reduce air pollution and to keep global warming down than any trees in the world. It is the greatest CO2 absorbing plant. And all of its body parts are useful for us.

Great Sand Sculptor

2010-11-12T00:11:00.001-08:00

By piling, digging, carving and hollowing out this common element, turning it into mythical scenes and fairytale figures, sand sculptors have turned the art of carving in sand into a new trend in many big cities.
Known as a modern art for only 20 years, sand sculpting is a popular and recreational art capable of drawing widespread attention from the public. Sand sculptures can create new tourist programmes wherever they go, bringing in considerable commercial profits. From this point of view, the art is the result of the perfect combination of modern art and modern commerce and is closely linked with tourism. For the last 20 years, this symbiosis has greatly promoted the development of sand sculptures around the world.

Sand sculptures can now be found in more than 100 countries and regions, especially in popular coastal cities. Sand sculptures have become one of the most popular itineraries during sea visits. Meanwhile, the art has also spread to the inland cities.
Over the past few years, the art has aroused widespread interest in Asia -- with Japan, Singapore and China as hosts to various sand sculpture contests. With the launch of the International Colored Sand Sculpture Festival in Yunnan Province , China, the art is also becoming richer in content.

Instant-Disintegrating Art
Sand and seawater are the basic materials for sand sculptures, which are molded into various patterns by digging, carving and hollowing out sand. Sand sculptures contain no chemical adhesives. Once a piece of the sculpture is completed, a special glue-water solution is sprayed over the surface to set the sculpture. Normally, the sculpture can be preserved for several months. Since it is not easy to preserve sand sculptures, which disintegrate over a period of time, the art form is also known as "instant-disintegrating art".

Sand sculpting is also a kind of land art that blends with nature and without emitting any pollutants. Sand sculptures, unlike most traditional sculptures, are admired for their large scale.
Sand sculpting is also a marginal art -- an amalgamation of the elements of sculpting, painting, construction and outdoor recreation. Requiring no professional training, the art can be taken up by anyone. Sand sculpting is known as a fashionable, healthy and exciting program for leisure and entertainment purposes.

Photos of Mount Merapi Eruption

2010-11-11T20:05:00.001-08:00

Since its initial eruptions on October 25th, Indonesia's Mount Merapi continues to spew hot gases and ash as far as 5,000 meters into the atmosphere, wreaking havoc on surrounding villages and farms, and disrupting air travel - and more than 140 people have been killed by the eruptions over the past two weeks. Hundreds of thousands of residents have been displaced, many of them living in temporary shelters until the Indonesian government reduces the existing 20 km "safe zone", and allows them and their livestock to return. Collected here are recent images from the area near the unpredictable Mount Merapi as it still rumbles and erupts. (39 photos total)

Why Our Body Liquid Taste Different

2010-11-08T17:28:00.001-08:00

Not many people know or realize the magic of what we had: tears, ear, and saliva. This scientific fact is sometimes overlooked, even though all three have different functions that are created so by the Creator so that we can live very well.

Salty taste of Tears

Tears taste salty because it implies that includes leusinenkefalin, adrenocorticotropic, and prolactin and some electrolytes, protein and fat binding immunoglobulin. Collectively, this produce taste salty.

The main function of all this is to maintain the condition of the whole eye in order to remain stable. Fat-binding proteins themselves make the outermost layer consisting of layers of fat that works to protect the eye moisture intact.

Ear Liquid taste Bitter

Our ears liquid taste bitter , it is actually a result of secretion from the glands in the ear that is alkaline and sticky. This secretion allows the ear that hole was always open and without cover, when insects or other small creatures enter it, it make them can not bear to linger in it and get out of the ear.

Sticky liquid tends to make small objects that enter to the ear hole tend to be trapped and can be released as earwax.

Fresh saliva taste

Our saliva taste fresh. This is because the function thereof is related to the taste of the food we eat. Can you imagine if we changed saliva taste? Very, very uncomfortable at all sure in time to eat food.

This, too, would you feel when you are sick. Drinking fresh water also taste bitter. Very uncomfortable. Saliva contains several proteins and enzymes and antibacterial substances.
At the time you get sick, the content of the saliva changed such that the composition of it tends to produce a slightly alkaline fluid. This is why you feel the bitter taste when ill and very uncomfortable when eat food.

Basic Techniques of Hypnosis

2010-11-05T03:08:00.001-07:00

Definition: Hypnosis is one branch of magic that used to play with the human subconscious. Once a person enters his subconscious, we can embed certain suggestions in their minds, and make them do things that we ordered.

You Should Know:

Hypnosis (especially "extreme Hypnotist" as is often done by Romi Rafael) will only be successful if the object (volunteers) willing to be hypnotized.
Nature of the human mind is divided into two, namely conscious mind and the subconscious (unconscious mind). The purpose of hypnosis is to make the volunteers are in their subconscious. The situation after the volunteers do various things in the subconscious influence is called "trans".

What you should have to hypnotize others?

1. Self-Confidence

Before doing hypnosis, you have to be really sure and believe that you can hypnotize other people. Convince yourself that you are a great hypnotist. Without self-confidence, hypnosis that you do is doomed to fail.

2. Rhythm

Customize your sound with the rhythm of the volunteer breath speed. This can be done by noticing the diaphragm motion when the volunteers breathed. When the most appropriate to lead the volunteers into their subconscious mind is when they breathed out (as is often done by Romi Rafael).

Usually, if the hypnotist was success, tempo and rhythm of the breath of the volunteers became slower. At that time, slow your speech tempo and rhythm speed to match the rhythm of the breath of the volunteers.

3. Voice Tones

There are two kinds of voice tonethat can be used in hypnosis.

a. Monotonous tone of voice

This method is often used by Romi Rafael. Voice tone is monotonous tone of voice, flat and tend to the same from beginning to end, with the use of words constantly repeated. The purpose of using a monotone voice is to make the conscious mind of the volunteers is bored, so he is more easily into his subconscious mid.

b. Voice Tone Wavy

His tone is the tone of voice used up and down, weak-strong, low-high. Actors hypnotist will talk first with a low tone, then the more elevated up to bring the volunteers into a state of "trance".

Please select one tone of voice to suit your personality. Choose the most convenient and comfortable when you say it.

4. Bringing the volunteers entered the subconscious

First, tell the volunteers to perform a routine, say "Start count from 1 to 10, each count will make you into your subconscious."

Or "Take a deep breath ... and exhale."

Or ask "What is your name?"

In the midst of that process, shake his hand, face-to-eye, and do something shocking that it quickly entered her subconscious. Something surprising that among other things:

-. Jerk handshake
-. Lifting her wrists to the top
-. Flick your finger to the forehead of volunteers

Remember, when doing these things, still maintain eye contact with the volunteers. After that, ask the volunteers to do the things that you ordered with hypnotic sentence.

5. Hypnotic Sentences

Hypnotic sentences must be spoken fluently, without words like "uh ..." "um ..", "uh ...", and so forth. The sentence is usually a sentence hypnotic suggestive tone command, short, dense, and uttered repeatedly.

Example of the sentence of hypnosis:

The first thing you should do is ... ...
Make yourself feel good ... ..
Sit in a chair with both hands on the thighs ....
Once you feel comfortable ... ....
Focus your eyes to one point ... ..
well ... ...
Aim your eyes to this point ... ....
Your eyes will be more severe ... ...
The more weight ... ..
And you will fall asleep ... ...
(... ... ..) Indicates that you should give pause before heading into the next sentence.

You are now in a beautiful seaside ...
Very beautiful ....
And will become more beautiful ... ...
You'll see the waves and foam ....
Zephyr ...
The shade of coconut trees ... ..
Feel it all ... ..
Experience with all your senses ... ..
Get in the water ... ..
Feel the chill ....
Use your hands to swim through the ocean ....
etc .... etc ....

To revive the volunteers, you can use the following sentence:

You will see a boat ....
That will take you to leave this beach ...
But you will know ....
All the beautiful memory of this beach will remain in your mind ....
Serenity ....
Shade ...
So ....
Get on the boat ... ....
And you will find a message written on the boat ...
Start counting from 1 to 10 ... ..
And each count aakan bring you leave the subconscious ...
And back to consciousness ....
etc ... etc ...

To be remembered!, tempo, rhythm, tone, and volume during hypnosis should consistently pronounce sentence.

Hypnosis is a branch of magic which is very difficult to master. To master it takes a long time. So, if you practice the things written here but still failed in doing hypnosis, it is simply natural. Keep practicing and practicing, then you will become a master hypnotist.

Peru Handwoven Bridge

2010-11-05T01:39:00.001-07:00

The Qeswachaka hanging bridge, of Cuzco, Chile, is handwoven every year, from a local grass called Qoya.

Located approximately 100 km from Cuzco, Qeswachaka bridge was once part of a network of bridges, built in the time of the Inca empire, but is now the only one of its kind, in the world. Spanning 120 feet over the Apurimac river, at around 13,000 feet above water, Qeswachaka (also spelled Q’eswachaka or Keswachaka) is built using the ancient Qhapaq nan technique, used by the Inca people.

Qhapaq nan bridges were built from grass, and were wide enough for only one person to pass, at a time. In ancient times these bridges were constantly under surveillance and everyone crossing them was monitored. When Pizzaro began his march for Cuzco, Qeswachaka was destroyed, to slow his advance, but was reconstructed, many years later.

Made from a local herb, known as Qoya, the fibers of Qeswachaka bridge deteriorate rapidly, and local communities have to reconstruct the bridge every year. Around 1,000 men and women, from various Andean communities gather at Qeswachaka bridge, every second week of June, for the rebuilding ceremony. Long blade of Qoya grass are woven into six long cables, which are bound and secured by eucalyptus trunks, buried at each end of the bridge.

It’s not that building a more modern bridge would be impossible, but this is a way for the Andean people to celebrate and honor their Inca ancestors, and keep their centuries old traditions alive.
The handwoven bridgemade out of a local grass called "Qoya", spans 120 feet (36 metres) and is rebuilt every year as a communal effort. About 1,000 farmers from the Andean communities of Huinchiri, Quehue, Choccayhua, Ccolana and Chaupibanda take part in the weaving and construction of the bridge, keeping alive an ancient Inca tradition using techniques that have been passed down through generations.

The Mystery of the Snakes in Queen Elizabeth Hand

2010-11-04T23:17:00.001-07:00

Circular Snake picture mysteriously appears in the 16th-century paintings depicting Queen Elizabeth I, thus submitted the National Portrait Gallery in London. According to the researchers, the snake was originally depicted in the queen finger circling. But the snake images seem to be less suited to the artist, and in the last minute replaced by painting a bunch of roses.

Now, after many years later, the snake appeared again because of painting age and roses drawing fade. The painting was created by an unknown artist in 1580's or early 1590s. This painting has been on display at the gallery in London since 1921 but will be part of an exhibition titled The Changing Faces of Elizabeth I, from 13 March - 26 September.

According to the curator of the gallery, a snake is sometimes used to symbolize wisdom and power of judgments, but the scaly creatures are also associated with a symbol of evil and original sin. Well, the painter may remove the symbol of the snake because the reason that two different terms. Snake is in the grip of the black queen but has a greenish-blue scales and almost certainly painted by the imagination because it is more like a dragon than a snake actually.

X-rays examination found also face of another woman whose identity is unknown. Unidentified woman's face was facing the opposite direction and in a higher position than the queen's face. The eyes and nose on his face obscured by Queen Elizabeth's forehead.

Photo galleries believes that the woman's face is a painting of the early works of different painters who closed with a painting of the Queen's face. It shows how 16th-century paintings are sometimes recycled by the artist. The unknown woman appeared wearing a French hood, with the clothing style in 1570-1580's. This means that an interval of several years before the painting is recycled back to paint a portrait of Elizabeth.

Something hide or lie sooner or later must be opened also, time will answer all the things that sometimes we do not understand

6 Secrets about Toothpaste

2010-11-03T01:43:00.001-07:00

There are so many toothpaste products on the market that promise you a fresh tooth, whiter, and prevent holes. This causes you as a consumer to be confused to choose the best. Ho much of what the heck, do we need? How much toothpaste should we use? Which one is better between a gel or paste?

Here is a guide.

1. Fluoride, the most important ingredient

Currently, there are so many toothpaste products are enriched with contents according to the needs of our teeth, such as tartar control, whitening, or a breath freshener. However, in toothpaste, the most important content is its fluoride. According to the Academy of General Dentistry, tooth brushing with fluoride toothpaste twice a day can reduce tooth decay by 40 percent.

2. Bleach will not directly make the teeth so white

There are dozens of products that promise a bright smile, but what is the content of the toothpaste with whitener? "Toothpaste with whitener containing light 'whitener' to help remove stains on teeth surface," says Clifford Whall, PhD, Director of the American Dental Association (ADA) Seal of Acceptance Program.

Particle shapes used in whitening products modified to clean up the stain better so you can see the difference in your teeth. Even so, these products do not contain bleach so it is not possible to make your teeth straightly white as if you are undergoing treatment in a professional teeth whitening.

3. Fewer, better

In toothpaste commercials maybe you will see the model holding a toothbrush filled with toothpaste. However, toothpaste squeeze in this much (say, 2 cm long) will not make your teeth cleaner than if you only pour 1 cm of toothpaste, according to E Jane Crocker, PHD, President of the Massachusetts Dental Hygienists' Association.

"All you need is a pea-sized toothpaste," she said. Toothpaste as it will not only make more effective tooth brushing (with clean and remove plaque, stains, and food scraps), you will also save your toothpaste.

4. The way you brush your teeth is much more important

You can just buy the best toothpaste and toothbrush most perfect in the store, but if you do not brush your teeth properly, in vain. "To brush your teeth properly, you must hold the brush at a 45 degrees so you create a feather brush your teeth in between the teeth and gums," said Dr. Whall. "Move your toothbrush in a small circle in the area, then continue on another tooth. This process will spend about one or two minutes to complete."

5. The content of toothpaste can be staggering

You may not recognize the names listed on the toothpaste tube. Materials such as seaweed or detergent can be found in many air-fluoride toothpaste. According to the ADA, thickening toothpaste can be made from seaweed colloids, colloidal minerals, and natural gums. As for the foam, most rely on detergent products such as sodium lauryl sulfate, which can also be found in shampoo or liquid soap. This material is considered 100 percent safe and effective by the ADA.

6. Paste or gel?

Scientific Explanation Why Sea Water Glittering Green

2010-11-01T02:52:00.000-07:00

Green Glittering often visible beneath the surface of tropical sea. Then why sea water can show color like that?.

The green glow was produced by sea fire worms to attract the opposite sex in mating rituals. The findings were based on the research scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, USA.

The results, published in Science Daily reveals that sea fire worms have the ability to produce bioluminescence light.

This ability was used to attract the opposite sex in mating season. Researchers of Marine biology Dimitri Deheyn and Michael Latz, reveals that worms also use light as a means of defense.

The Research that published in the latest Invertebrate Biology journal last week provides in-depth information about the functions of bioluminescence in fire worm. This result lead scientists closer to identifying the molecular basis of light phase.

"This is one step forward in understanding the biology of bioluminescence on fire worms. If we understand how to keep the lights remain stable in the long term, it will open up opportunities for the use of proteins or reaction in the biomedical, bioengineering, and others," said Deheyn.

Fire worms used in these studies, Odontosyllis phosphorea, is the bottom of the ocean inhabitants that live in shallow tropical and subtropical waters. During the breeding period in the summer, called swarming, female worms glow green mucus, before release of gametes or reproductive cells.

Bright light attracts the male worms which will release their gamet into the green light. Not only male worms, the human who happened to cross the waters was also fascinated with the light playing.

Experts trace the appearance of light in Southern California, the Caribbean, and Japan, which will culminate a day or two before each phase or when the moon is a quarter. Any sightings of light begins 30 to 40 minutes after sunset and lasts for 20 to 30 minutes.

The Plane that Changed to be A Boat

2010-10-28T19:04:00.000-07:00

Cosmic Muffin, that’s the name of this boat. At first, it’s a real plane. It.s Howard Hughes prized Boeing B-307. Because of storm, some parts of this plane broken and cannot fly-able in 1969. Then Fort Launderdale Realtor and pilot Kenneth W London, buy it at $62, and about four years they transformed the plane and named it Cosmic Muffin. Because of it’s exotic, the boat featured in CNN, Ripley’s Belit It or Not!, and Jimmy Buffet’s 1996 song “Desdemona’s building A Rocketship.

Aesthetically the Cosmic Muffin can’t claim to be the prettiest boat in the harbor, but the underlying principle guiding the design is sound – we are surrounded by objects manufactured under obsolete guidelines established during the Industrial Revolution. These objects were designed to be thrown away but they must now be revisited with an eye toward reuse, recycling or recombination. The benefits of this are two-fold: less consumption of natural resources during the manufacturing of something new, and less garbage in our landfills.

5 Greatest Escape Throughout History

2010-10-27T00:02:00.000-07:00

5. Dieter Dengler's Prison Camp Escape

Dieter Dengler was a German-American, American Navy pilot known for his successful escape from a prison camp during the Vietnam War in a prison in the forest. In early 1966, Dengler plane was shot down by anti aircraft fire in Laos, and he was arrested and sent to prison camps run by the Pathet Lao, a group of North Vietnamese sympathizers. Dengler has earned a reputation for an uncanny ability to escape from POW camps, ostensibly for military training, and he directly contributed to planning the prisoners to make them escape. On June 29, 1966, he and six other prisoners escaped. After a spur down three guards, Dengler fled into dense forest.

Finally, he spent 23 days in the forest and resistant to heat, insects, leeches, parasites, and starvation before rescued by American helicopters. Only one of the other prisoners, a Thailand contractor , survivors of this breakout. The others were killed or disappeared in the forest. Dengler will continue to be a successful test pilot in the following years, and until today he is credited as the only American soldier who managed to escape from a prison camp during the Vietnam War.

4. Escape From Alcatraz

In 1962, Frank Morris, Clarence and John Anglin use months to carefully planning to escape from Alcatraz prison. This trio held in the famous prison at Alcatraz Island in San Francisco, which is reserved for the toughest criminals and is considered one of the most difficult prison to escape. This people using a series of tools including a drill assembly of vacuum cleaner motors chip to dig at aging concrete and make them into a ventilation hole.

Alcatraz Prison Location in a remote island

Clarence Anglin - Alcatraz Inmate #1485

John William Anglin - Alcatraz Inmate # 1476

Frank Lee Morris - Alcatraz Inmate # 1441

The plan was extremely complex and involved the design and fabrication of ingenious lifelike dummies, water rafts, and life preservers, fashioned from over fifty rain coats that had been acquired from other inmates - some donated and some stolen. They would also require a variety of crudely made tools to dig with, and to construct the accessories necessary for the escape. By May of 1962, Morris and the Anglins and had already dug through the cell's six-by-nine-inch vent holes, and had started work on the vent on top of the cellblock.

The Anglins inhabited adjacent cells, as did West and Morris, who also resided nearby. The inmates alternated shifts, with one working and one on lookout. They would start work at 5:30 p.m. and continue till about 9:00 p.m., just prior to the lights-out count. Meanwhile John and Clarence started fabricating the dummy heads, and even gave them the pet names of "Oink" and "Oscar." The heads were crude but lifelike, and were constructed from a homemade cement-powder mixture that included such innocuous materials as soap and toilet paper. They were decorated with flesh-tone paint from prison art kits, and human hair from the barbershop.

People were never heard from again, and most evidence suggests that they drowned in the bay, but no body has ever been found.

3. The Maze Prison Escape

One of the most violent prison, the Maze Prison break occurred in 1983, when 35 prisoners escaped after taking control of prison with violence. The Maze is intended for the paramilitary Irish Republican Army combatants and terrorists, and is regarded as one of the most inescapable prison across Europe. But after several months of planning, a group of prisoners led by IRA member Gerry Kelly and Bobby Storey master the entire cellblock by using weapons that have been smuggled into the prison.

After wounding several guards and steal their uniforms, the prisoners hijacked a car and took over a nearby guard post, but when they do not get past the main gate, the men jumped a fence and fled on foot. All told, 35 people escaped from prison, sixteen of whom were arrested again soon after twenty guards were wounded.

2. Billy Hayes' Escape From Turkish Prison

Billy Hayes was an American student who was arrested in 1970 when he tried to smuggle two pounds of hash into the aircraft in Turkey. Once caught, he was sentenced to thirty years in Turkish prisons who have hard systems. Sagmilicar Hayes worked hard in prison for five years, but he eventually transferred to a prison island in the Sea of Marmara, and here he began to seriously plan for escape. The island had no boats, but near the port and there are small fishing boats every time there is a strong storm.

Hayes spent days hiding in the bin of concrete, and when the time is right, he swam to the harbor and steal a small boat. From here, he was able to make its way to Greece, and finally half way round the world before he arrived safely back in the United States.

Hayes later wrote a book about his escape called the Midnight Express, which was adapted into a fiction film of the same name.

1. The Great Escape

For a mere planning, risk, and scale, escaped from prison will not be much more complex than the 1944 escape of 76 Allied troops from Stalag Luft III, a German prison during World War II in operation. Running away is the culmination of more than one year of work by about 600 inmates.

The men dug three tunnels (nicknamed "Tom," "Dick," and "Harry") 30 feet below the surface with plans tunneling through the main fence and came to the surface near the forest. This requires a sophisticated construction process that includes the use of wood blocks for support, a series of lights, and even an air pump to ensure the soldiers that have to dig to be able to breathe. After gathering a collection of civilian clothes and passport, on March 24, 1944, they made their escape.

Teams are organized to tunnel, make civilian clothing, forge documents, procure contraband materials, and prevent guards from discovering their work. Flight Lieutenant Hendley, an American in the RAF, is "the scrounger" who finds what the others need, from a camera to clothes and identity cards. Australian Flying Officer Louis Sedgwick, "the manufacturer," makes tools such as picks for digging and bellows for pumping air into the tunnels. Flight Lieutenant Danny Velinski and William "Willie" Dickes are "the tunnel kings" in charge of making the tunnels. Eric Ashley-Pitt of the Royal Navy devises a method of hiding bags in the prisoners' trousers and spread dirt from the tunnels over the camp, under the guards' noses. Forgery is handled by Flight Lieutenant Colin Blythe, who becomes nearly blind from intricate work by candlelight. Hendley takes it upon himself to be Blythe's guide in the escape.

The prisoners work on three tunnels simultaneously, "Tom," "Dick" and "Harry." Work on Harry and Dick is stopped so that more work can be performed on Tom. The work noise is covered by the prisoner choir led by Flt Lt Cavendish.

USAAF Captain Virgil Hilts, "The Cooler King," irritates guards with frequent escape attempts and irreverent behavior. His first attempt, conceived in the cooler, is a short tunnel with RAF Flying Officer Archibald Ives; they are caught and returned to the cooler.

While the British POWs enjoy a 4th of July celebration organized by the three Americans, the guards discover tunnel Tom. The mood drops to disappointment and hits Ives hardest. He is drawn to the barbed wire that surrounds the camp and climbs it in view of guards. Hilts runs to stop him but is too late, and Ives is machine-gunned dead near the top of the fence. The prisoners switch their efforts to Harry.

Hilts agrees to change his plan and reconnoiter outside the camp and allow himself to be recaptured. The information he brings back is used to create maps showing the nearest town and railway station.

The last part of the tunnel is completed on the night of the escape, but is 20 feet short of woods which are to provide cover. Danny nearly snaps from claustrophobia and delays those behind him, but is helped by Willie. Seventy-six escape.

After attempts to reach neutral Switzerland, Sweden, and Spain, almost all the POWs are recaptured or killed. Hendley and Blythe steal an airplane to fly over the Swiss border, but the engine fails and they crash-land. Soldiers arrive. Blythe, his eyesight damaged, stands and is shot. Hendley waves and shouts "don't shoot", and is captured as Blythe dies. Cavendish, having hitched a ride in a truck, is captured at a checkpoint, discovering another POW, Haynes, captured in his German soldier disguise.

Bartlett is recognized in a crowded railroad station by Gestapo agent Kuhn. Another escapee, Ashley-Pitt, sacrifices himself when he kills Kuhn with Kuhn's own gun, and soldiers then shoot and kill him. In the commotion, Bartlett and MacDonald slip away but they are caught while boarding a bus after MacDonald blunders by replying in English to a suspicious Gestapo agent who wishes them "Good luck". Hilts steals a motorcycle, is pursued by German soldiers, jumps a barbed wire fence but becomes entangled in another and is captured, he escapes execution as a spy by showing them the airforce label on his shirt.

Three truckloads of captured POWs go down a country road and split off in three directions. One truck, containing Bartlett, MacDonald, Cavendish, Haynes and others, stops in a field and the POWs are told to get out and "stretch their legs." They are shot dead. Fifty escapees are murdered. Hendley and nine others are returned to the camp. Von Luger is relieved of command of the prison camp and is driven away by the SS for failing to prevent the breakout.

Only three make it to safety. Danny and Willie steal a rowboat and proceed downriver to the Baltic coast, where they board a Swedish merchant ship. Sedgwick steals a bicycle, then rides hidden in a freight train boxcar to France, where he is guided by the Resistance to Spain. Hilts is brought back alone to the camp and taken to the cooler. Lieutenant Goff, one of the Americans, gets Hilts's baseball and glove and throws it to him when Hilts and his guards pass by. The guard locks him in his cell and walks away, but momentarily pauses when he hears the familiar sound of Hilts bouncing his baseball against a cell wall. The film ends with this scene, under the caption, "This picture is dedicated to the fifty."
