The Warsaw Uprising began on August 1, 1944. For the next 63 days, Poland’s army fought the Nazis, trying to liberate their capital. The rebellion was timed to coincide with the Soviet Union’s advance that should have left the Germans vulnerable, but…
The effort lasted nine weeks and failed, leaving 200,000 Polish dead, mainly civilians. Every year, Warsaw commemorates this horrific tragedy with a minute of stillness.…various military and political miscalculations, as well as global politics — played among Joseph Stalin, Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt — turned the dice against [Warsaw]. [source]

In Honolulu, there is a Genki Sushi in Ala Moana that has the sushi screen where you order and it comes to you quickly on a little boat and on the first shelf it has the regular sushi that goes around and around. Pretty cool.

In Okinawa City, you pluck the dish of what sushi you want from the railroad that goes round and round the restaurant by your table. Each different dish comes in a different-colored bowl. When you are pau, the waitress totals up the price from your bowls. Dang. Why don't we live on Okinawa? It's like Hawaii was eighty years ago, only with air conditioning and high-tech!
