welcome everybody to a Rinko station nighttime walk

so this is a bubble and we wanted to show you what it was like in the night time and so I’m going to give you a walk through the whole orenco station area show you all of the different uh General kind of overview of what this particular area has to offer so this area has got some hotels that aren’t too far away but it also has different uh housing options so some people may want to live here on a short-term basis there’s some apartment complexes I’m going to show you those as we walk along and right now I’m actually going to start kind of over by the supermarket it’s got a nice kind of a yuckiest Supermarket with a lot of different uh options this is post holiday so a lot of the Christmas lights have come down but there is some few there’s a few going on out there so with that being said I’m going to show you this grocery store here as we come up on what’s called this New Seasons Market I’m gonna turn around real quick and just kind of give you a view of this neighborhood and at at night I think it’s important to see what a place looks like in the evening time real people kind of have a tendency to work here this is the area that has been dubbed silicon Forest because of Intel and a lot of the companies that have moved out here because they want to be close to Intel this is one of their large infrastructural research areas but there’s other companies out here as well such as Anki several others I’ve seen several it’s really built up over the years New Seasons Market

and when you look at the daytime video you’re going to get a slightly different View um but I want you to see the activity that’s happening here kind of the general safety feel of the place it feels very safe so you can see it’s not a huge Market but this is kind of like I don’t know the closest I could be quite New Seasons to is Whole Foods you know Whole Foods by Amazon

next to them is the kitchen caboodle when you look up on all these cool Apartments there’s actually people living in them

[Music] so there’s a quite a few um apartments for rent here and I’ve looked up Airbnb in this area there’s Airbnb available so you can get temporary rentals you basically have your options

this area is obviously very close to Intel very close to Nike there’s another Semiconductor Company not that far away there’s offices like there’s accountants and lawyers dental offices it’s just a wide array of businesses

I wasn’t here visiting during the covet time so I don’t know how active it was but these days I mean is it back to normal it’s probably pretty close

now a lot of these apartments in this area I’m going to pan to the left over here

I’ve seen them on short-term rentals so I know they exist and it’s a pretty cute little area actually now for the most part during the holidays there was a lot more Christmas lights but now things are changing and their people are kind of probably trying to get ready for spring but they’ve got a little more time left

foreign

[Music] s down there this restaurant right here is the Indian restaurant it’s very good very good curries we really like this place and then uh if you look here you’ve got Corner offices this is the area where I see airbnb’s a lot especially there’s some short-term rentals on the bottom I kind of call these the Mary Poppins little apartments I think they’re kind of cute obviously someone still got the Christmas tree up across the street here and so you can see the name of the Indian restaurant they have a really good veg menu so if you’re you don’t eat meat these guys can definitely help you out these restaurants are open right now they’re active that’s a Japanese place that’s open at night a lot of activity there it’s very small I think this is a nice thing to have close by our Providence Express Care just a little clinic of course there’s hospitals pretty much in every direction

if you want to spin a little more and a good steak definitely recommend their wrinkle Station Grill it’s very good [Music] place as we’re coming up here on the left

I’m going to butcher the French words but show you

houseless drawer [Music] see this is like a coffee place it’s got a lot of snacks they’re closing up for the night they’re pretty much open in the daytime Bishop’s barber shops kind of popular in this area don’t know anything about this Orthodontics place but I’ve gotten some haircuts one time I usually go to another place but they did okay

that’s Salon bar that’s not a bar bar that’s for women to get their nails done so it might get a little dark over here

Transcript:

so today I’m in the Northern Western tip of the state of Oregon at Fort Stevens State Park [Music] I’m hiking out towards the beach trying to find an old shipwreck sometimes it’s kind of a famous thing for this location so I’m trying to check it out I’m going to kind of show you as I walk up to it and give you a glimpse of what it looks like and before we go too much further I just want to thank everybody for watching our videos here on YouTube and possibly Facebook make sure to like share our content it helps you get around

visibility is much harder than most people think unless you are like paying thousands of dollars to get that advertising only your Die Hard supporters really see it so please take a look at all the rest of the videos and head on over to exploretraveler.com before we have more content so I’m gonna now I’m gonna kind of like switch over I’m gonna follow the trail I’ll show you where I’m at we’re going to walk down to the what’s left of the Shipwreck

so I did a little research on Fort Stevens and it’s kind of one of the very few places outside of Alaska that even had any interaction with foreign forces at World War II it’s quite reinforced [Music] its waves look

honestly pretty big for Oregon I mean we’re not in Hawaii or anything

dad said there are some Riptides going on

thank you it’s definitely been here a while

I’d say it’s kind of a front piece but it’s kind of hard for me to tell

so this is the Shipwreck that’s left here at Fort Stevens there’s some actually there’s a couple piece spread out

like

moving down the beach here it’s just a beautiful walk I can see my people take their dogs out here

yeah it’s pretty nice okay so now I’m at another main point of interest it’s called battery Russell basically this is the old kind of artillery

location, where they could fire upon ships out of the ocean [Music], see

we wear very well abandoned

very thick I mean

dark in here I don’t think this goes any further [Music] mine is at one time Frozen concrete

[Music]

kind of a lonely place to be stationed back in the day foreign ER

curious [Music] do you know what else did you do this is where the cannon would have been held here and pictures of what we’ve got it’s a very very large probably a Howitzer is okay [Music] this guy rusted metal and concrete mix this is this place was definitely meant to last I mean look at these rooms they’re actually quite big some are small but

I actually lived here [Music] like definitely had the capability of doing so okay another one of those stairs that go back up

okay so I just came back out

inside the second cannon all right so we’re going towards obviously a wildlife viewing bunker we’re still at Fort Stevens this area is used protected habitat for waterfowl I think there’s some limited hunting allowed during a very specific season but it’s

so limited that I’m sure there’s a waterfowl during the breeding season anyway

this is obviously another part of the bunker system Fort Stevens had during its Heyday would have been the early 1900s

this area it’s kind of probably behind me but it opens up into the Columbia River

Sugar Pines that’s where I came from over there

swash Lake

and that is

all right so I’m out and it’s called the South jetty

it’s kind of what it looks like there’s a little weather station there

kind of the claim restoration work [Music] which they claim because I never know what they’re really up to

it’s just over here

a little lookout tower and climb up

usually

it’s a beautiful day it’s I mean it’s windy but here on the coast that’s normal but it’s uh just a rough takeaway

still, at Fort Stevens, this is uh March Park and I think it’s an example of a place where people can go to it’s not very crowded not consider this place but I would see you know a full handy now it’s accessible but it is uh there’s a couple area right so if you’ve got some

blocking capability you’re probably still doing a little bit I will bring a little chair where you can sit down because [Music] is like a lighthouse out there

so we’re at the South jetty going to try to see what other places we can find

if you look right here that is the entryway to the Columbia River they’ve got it blocked off with this restoration project.

Sego Canyon Petroglyphs and rock art in Utah

Petroglyphs of Utah Sego Canyon – Hunting for petroglyphs or ancient rock art can sometimes take you to amazing places. Other times they are almost hiding in plain sight but you need to know where to go. Sego Canyon is just off of Interstate 70 and only 20 – 30 minutes down the road. It’s tucked away into a canyon once used for mining operations. This location has petroglyphs from several peoples; Fremont, Ute, and Barrier Canyon Style. The Barrier style is possibly the oldest, dating back to approximately 2000 BC, while the Ute style is the most recent, dating back to 1300-1600 AD. It is clear that these people lived within this area from thousands to hundreds of years ago.

Anthropologists and Archeological scientists have documented several groups of people within this area of Utah, and the Barrier style of Petroglyph does get the most attention. Shows like Ancient Aliens and other conspiracy theory shows like to talk about them. However, there are others in this same canyon that do not get shown as much. Here in this article, I will show some of the Ute people’s petroglyphs that in my opinion show how people lived, and possibly roamed the area when they were done.

Looking for petroglyphs can require a keen eye, and they are not always marked. This particular location didn’t really have a sign in the area, but they are close by once you begin looking around. I did have to climb up to get close to the Ute petroglyphs, and it did require some climbing. Others were very easy to reach and at ground level. Petroglyphs of Utah are different in variety and help to shed light on our human past.

Make sure to bring plenty of water, and comfortable clothing for the area. It can get very hot and dry in the summer. In the winter it can be very cold and windy so dress according to the season. Good shoes or boots are important within Sego Canyon, and snakes live in the area during the summer months so please be aware.

This Audio book The Art of War is brought to you by https://ExploreTraveler.com
Transcriber’s Note
This is a complete unabridged transcription of Lionel Gile’s translation of The Art of War. See additional notes at the end of the book.
法 兵 子 孫
SUN TZŬ
ON THE
ART OF WAR
THE OLDEST MILITARY TREATISE IN THE WORLD
TRANSLATED FROM THE CHINESE WITH INTRODUCTION AND CRITICAL NOTES BY
LIONEL GILES, M.A.
Assistant in the Department of Oriental Printed Books and MSS. in the British Museum
LONDON
LUZAC & Co.
1910

The seventh volume of “Mémoires concernant l’histoire, les sciences, les arts, les mœurs, les usages, &c., des Chinois”[1] is devoted to the Art of War, and contains, amongst other treatises,“Les Treize Articles de Sun-tse,” translated from the Chinese by a Jesuit Father, Joseph Amiot. Père Amiot appears to have enjoyed no small reputation as a sinologue in his day, and the field of his labours was certainly extensive. But his so-called translation of Sun Tzŭ, if placed side by side with the original, is seen at once to be little better than an imposture. It contains a great deal that Sun Tzŭ did not write, and very little indeed of what he did. Here is a fair specimen, taken from the opening sentences of chapter 5:— De l’habileté
dans le gouvernement des Troupes. Sun tse dit: Ayez les noms de tous les Officiers tant généraux que subalternes; inscrivez les dans un catalogue à part, avec la note des talents & de la capacité de chacun d’eux, afin de pouvoir les employer avec avantage lorsque l’occasion en sera venue. Faites en sorte que tous ceux que vous devez commander soient persuadés que votre principale attention est de les préserver de tout dommage. Les troupes que vous ferez avancer contre l’ennemi doivent être comme des pierres que vous lanceriez contre des œufs. De vous à l’ennemi il ne doit y avoir d’autre différence que celle du fort au foible, du vuide au plein. Attaquez à découvert, mais soyez vainqueur en secret. Voilà en peu de mots en quoi consiste l’habileté & toute la perfection même du gouvernement des troupes.
Throughout the nineteenth century, which saw a wonderful development in the study of Chinese literature, no translator ventured to tackle Sun Tzŭ, although his
work was known to be highly valued in China as by far the oldest and best compendium of military science. It was not until the year 1905 that the first English translation by Capt. E. F. Calthrop, R.F.A., appeared at Tokyo under the title “Sonshi” (the Japanese form of Sun Tzŭ)[2]. Unfortunately, it was evident that the translator’s knowledge of Chinese was far too scanty to fit him to grapple with the manifold difficulties of Sun Tzŭ. He himself plainly acknowledges that without the aid of two Japanese gentlemen “the accompanying translation would have been impossible.” We can only wonder, then, that with their help it should have been so excessively bad. It is not merely a question of downright blunders, from which none can hope to be wholly exempt. Omissions were frequent; hard passages were wilfully distorted or slurred over. Such offences are less pardonable. They would not be tolerated in any edition of a Greek or Latin classic, and a similar standard of honesty ought to be insisted upon in translations from Chinese.
