Voting rights violations in San Francisco Mayoral election?
San Francisco's mayoral election was supposed to be a showcase of Asian American political empowerment never before seen in the continental U.S.
A bevy of Asian American politicians to choose from may be old hat in a place like Honolulu, where the Asian Pacific Islander population is at more than 53 percent. But in San Francisco, where the API population is nearly 34 percent (with Chinese and Filipinos leading the way), this upcoming election has some real historical significance.
For the first time ever, the city could elect an Asian American from a roster that includes the interim mayor, former city administrator and current front-runner (Ed Lee), the president of the city and county Board of Supervisors (David Chiu), the city's Public Defender (Jeff Adachi), the city's assessor (Phil Ting), and a former supervisor and current state senator (Leland Yee).
Five of the top eight candidates vying for the city's top job are Asian American officials? In San Francisco, it was an embarrassment of riches.
Now it's looking just like an embarrassment.
With less than two weeks until election day on Nov. 8, the race has suddenly been marred by charges of voter fraud, with possible violations of the state elections code, not to mention the federal Voting Rights Act.
Seems like Asian American politicians are quite possibly no less venal and corrupt than any other type of politician.
And all of it casts a cloud on the candidacy of interim Mayor Lee.
This week. Lee spent most of his time denying he had anything to do with a neighborhood community group's zealous effort to help Cantonese-speaking voters fill out and cast their ballots.
Mind you, helping bilingual voters is quite acceptable. It's hard enough to vote even when you know English. Add to that the complicated Ranked Choice Voting system San Francisco is using, and there's nothing wrong with a little voter education.
But marking an absentee ballot, or telling people for whom to vote by using a plastic stencil that prevents voting for anyone but Lee, and then collecting those ballots in a plastic bag for later delivery to City Hall–that crosses the line and is outright illegal.
That's what witnesses are alleging members of the San Francisco Neighbors Alliance for Ed Lee for Mayor 2011–self-identified as "Ed Heads"–did the last few weeks in San Francisco's Chinatown.
He's taking it personally–like an Asian on Asian crime. It may even be a bit more satisfying after some Lee supporters, notably Chinatown activist Rose Pak, tried to interest the media on vicious rumors about Yee earlier in the campaign.
Now Yee and six other candidates (including Adachi and Chiu) have for called for the state and federal governments to monitor the election, as well as hold individual investigations. The candidates sent a letter to the Department of Justice on Sunday, and reportedly the DOJ has agreed to review the matter.
This was just the latest in a string of questionable activity surrounding Lee, according to Adachi. He cited an election biography of Lee distributed to San Francisco households that's also put out by the same neighborhood group involved in the ballot scandal.
Lee has denied any connection to the project, Adachi said.
There's also thousands of dollars in contributions to Lee from one airport shuttle service that successfully won the administration's support to limit competition on its airport runs.
"The appearance of a conflict is enough," said Adachi.
It should be. But in his public statements Lee maintains there's been no wrongdoing.
Still, as likeable as Lee has been in his career as a community advocate and civil servant, in his latest incarnation as political appointee he's developed a credibility problem.
In exchange for Board of Supervisors President Chiu's support to be interim mayor, Lee originally told Chiu he wouldn't run in November. Chiu believed him and helped to engineer the deal that placed Lee in the interim role.
Imagine the sense of betrayal when Chiu couldn't get his payback of the interim mayor's endorsement—because Lee's running himself!
Chiu has said Lee told him he couldn't resist the urging of Chinatown activist Rose Pak and former Mayor Willie Brown.
One wonders: What else can't Lee resist?
The Brown connection is troublesome. As progressive and Democratic as San Francisco can be, for years its ruling M.O. has been more like a Chicago-type of Daley machine, West Coast style. Since 1997, the political godfather has been Brown, whose reign has coincided with the city becoming more expensive and corporate- friendly, and much less family-friendly.
Brown made San Francisco more a city of the one percent rather than the 99. His administration's hallmark was unabashed patronage to downtown business interests and to an elite group that participate in the city's hundreds of millions in public contracts. It continued with Gavin Newsom, and now it seems he's found the perfect replacement in the soft-spoken, amenable, accidental interim mayor, Ed Lee.
Perhaps Asian Americans should be flattered that after the glamorous Newsom (now California's Lieutenant Governor), it's Lee who gets the nod to keep the city establishment's legacy of power alive.
It's just that somehow, merely putting a yellow face on the old machine hardly feels like power, let alone progress.

Crash closes West Main Street

Woman rescued from overturned vehicle
By Mike Ullery - mullery@aimmediamidwest.com
Mike Ullery | AIM Media Troy Fire Department medics tend to an elderly victim of a multiple car crash on West Main Street west of Dorset Road on Wednesday afternoon.
TROY — A multiple-vehicle crash in Troy resulted one woman being taken to the hospital on Wednesday afternoon.
Troy police, fire, and medic units responded to the 1500 block of West Main Street around 3 p.m. on the report of a crash with one vehicle on its top.
Witnesses believed there were three vehicles involved. One of the vehicles, driven by an elderly female, overturned and landed on its top. Bystanders and Troy medics were able to assist the woman in exiting her vehicle. Police say the woman, whose name had not been released by Wednesday evening, was at fault in the accident, and will be charged.
She was taken by ambulance to UVMC for treatment. Another medic unit was called to check out the drivers of the other vehicles.
Troy police continue to investigate the crash.
West Main Street was closed while the crash was investigated and cleared with traffic being re-routed around adjacent streets.

Although I am well known for my "Family Saga" novels, my real passion is "Horror Fiction". They're actually the same thing I suppose.
I am currently looking for representation for mainstream commercial publication. I have been writing since 1984, with a strong passion for horror fiction. I have several finished novels that that I would love to see in publication, and many more that are currently in the progress of being completed.
I have written numerous articles for magazines, brochures and periodical publications as well as for other extremely busy bloggers but I would prefer to utilize my talents as a horror fiction novelist full time. Hey, got to pay the bills right?
So read my work, feedback to your hearts content and if you like what I offer then tell a friend and spread the word!


After years of placing gemstones into his drinking water to optimize the principles of crystal healing, Ewald Eisen realized the stones could be treated with toxins, thus exposing him to unwanted elements. As a remedy, he created Vita Juwel - a line of water bottles that contain a pre-curated blend of gemstones harnessed in a clear glass vial. Each stone blend enhances your water with specific energetic benefits suited your lifestyle.
This well-balanced composition has already been used for several hundreds of years to inspirit water by countless people all around the world.
HOW TO USE: Fill this bottle with water and wait for seven minutes, after which time your drink will absorb the tranquil, mind-easing benefits of the rose quartz, garnet and clear quartz blend within.

Family sayings stick to the memory like glue. No matter how much you try to shake them for fear of turning into your parents, time-worn words of wisdom come flooding back should the right situation present itself. No stranger to this is Songs For Walter – to date each song has emerged as a musical narrative with family life at its heart, and new single Family Hold Back is no exception.
On the surface it would seem that motherly advice has been taken. Lighter-than-air vocals reminiscent of Mercury Rev's ethereal tones flow alongside an infectious ukulele melody and four to floor bass drum making it not only recall the stripped-back, traditional sound of Songs For Walter's self-titled debut EP, but also the epitome of Englishness in its truest sense – amenable, considered, and always polite.
But don't be fooled, for Songs For Walter has always been a master of trickery presenting everyday scenarios that represent far deeper lying issues – here a seemingly innocent party spread masquerades as a deliberately misleading yet astute commentary on social etiquette, over-indulgence and addiction.
"I'm just hoping i can find some kind of balance," sings Hulme at the end of the song. Whatever that balance is, there's no doubting that Family Hold Back is Songs For Walter at its most accomplished sounding yet.
His last singles 'Tougher Than A Soldier's Boots' and 'Moon / Two Out Of Ten' gained multiple radio plays by Lauren Laverne, Steve Lamacq and Tom Ravenscroft. Having spent the last 8 months furiously bringing his last single and debut EP to life with numerous live performances around the country and relishing a work ethic just as strong, Songs For Walter's Laurie Hulme has been a busy man.
Building a momentum to release a free single each month up until Summer 2013, in which a lovely piece of vinyl will be released documenting this amazing story of 'Songs For Walter'.

Chlorpropamide -- Teratogenic Agent: There is evidence to indicate that exposure to Chlorpropamide (an antidiabetic drug) during pregnancy may have a teratogenic effect on the fetus. A teratogen is a substance that can cause birth defects. The likelihood and severity of defects may be affected by the level of exposure and the stage of pregnancy that the exposure occurred at. More detailed information about the symptoms, causes, and treatments of Chlorpropamide -- Teratogenic Agent is available below.

If you're a homeowner in the Coachella Valley, you probably have most of your electronics plugged into surge protectors. After all, everyone knows exposing your electronics to power surges can damage or even ruin them. What everyone doesn't always realize is that their major appliances such as your refrigerator and AC unit are also electronics and are just as susceptible to power surges as your TVs, computers and stereo systems.
With our hot desert climate, your air conditioning unit is one of the most important appliances serving your home. You can still do dishes if your dishwasher goes out, but on a triple-digit summer day, you simply cannot function without a working air conditioner. Thus, you need to make sure that your AC unit is safe from harm. This includes regular HVAC maintenance to protect against usage-related breakdowns and surge protection to protect against unexpected power surges.
Like any electrical appliance, power surges can damage the inner wiring of your air conditioning unit. Your first thought is probably of a large surge from a lightning strike or blown transformer, which can immediately fry the inner workings of any appliance in its path. But the biggest risk to your home electronics is actually from small power surges.
Small surges happen every day and the damage they cause is subtle and cumulative. These mini-surges can be caused by anything from fluctuations in the power grid to your washing machine pulling extra power during the spin cycle. Because the surges are small, the damage they do is small, too. Electrical components in your AC unit don't burn up all at once but a little at a time, with damage accumulating until the air conditioner can no longer function under the stress of degraded components.
Unfortunately, there's no way to prevent power surges from occurring; you can only prevent their damaging effects through surge protection. There are two surge protection options you can choose from.
An HVAC Surge Protector—Install a surge protection device designed specifically for air conditioners and heat pumps. An HVAC surge protection device is installed at the AC condenser and automatically directs excess electricity into the ground during a power surge.
A Whole-Home Surge Protector—This is a larger surge protection device that is wired into your electrical service box and protects all of the wiring and electronics in your home at the same time. Like the smaller HVAC-specific version, excess electricity is redirected into the ground during a power surge, protecting your home and appliances from damage.
If you have questions about which surge protection option is better for your home's needs or want to schedule a surge protector installation, call Hyde's at (760) 360-2202. We're happy to help with all your electrical service needs!

Hemolytic disease of the newborn, or erythroblastosis fetalis, is an alloimmune state wherein the IgG antibodies produced by a pregnant mother attack the red blood cells that circulate in the fetus. This condition causes reticulocytosis and anemia. This can be a dreaded disease and can lead to heart failure.
The disease can be diagnosed by direct Coombs test, peripheral blood morphology and indirect Coombs test on the mother.
Treatment can be done by intrauterine transfusion before giving birth. After birth treatments include phototherapy, exchange transfusion and correction of acidosis.
The symptoms present in this disease are hymolysis, jaundice, enlarged vital organs such as the spleen and liver. The infant may die shortly after birth due to heart failure or respiratory distress.
The disease is caused by the mother's exposure to foreign antigens that caused the production of IgG. As opposed to IgM, which doesn't pass through the placenta, IgG antibodies attack even the red blood cells that are present in the fetus. This incident can be due to hemorrhage during pregnancy, abortion, and poorly performed blood transfusion.

Looks like Pirelli's new Formula One tyres are proving a hit with British racing aces Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton.
After completing three days of days of running on the new tyres in Valencia, Button said the McLaren team is 'moving in the right direction' when it comes to getting to grips with the Italian rubber.
The two drivers were focusing on gaining an understandings of how the Pirelli tyres will work on differing set-ups, with Lewis Hamilton running similar programmes to Button earlier in the week.
Button, the 2009 champion, admitted it had been an interesting experience to try the new tyre and said he was now looking forward to getting his hands on the car he hopes will be a challenger for the 2011 title.
"Today was mostly about tyre work," he said. "It was an interesting day and a new experience for me to try the Pirellis. They obviously work in a different way to last year's tyres – but most of my runs were reasonably good. I was quite happy with the way the car was working; we did a lot of good work on set-up. We're moving in the right direction.
Meanwhile, his team mate and a fellow former world champion said the fact that the tyres were degrading so fast, and there generally was a bigger performance difference between the various compounds, meant teams were probably going to have to go back to making more than one pit stop in races this year.
Hamilton told reporters: "[The test programme was] really just to get an idea of how the tyres behave and how you pin the car and them and make them work.

The St. Louis Wrestling Club was a professional wrestling promotion based in St. Louis, Missouri . It was owned and operated by Sam Muchnick. The promotion was a flagship member of the National Wrestling Alliance, and promoted primarily in the St. Louis area. It was colloquially referred to within the business as the "St. Louis office" of the NWA. Its weekly television program, Wrestling at the Chase (carried by KPLR-TV ), is considered one of the legendary programs in the history of professional wrestling.
Muchnick gained a reputation as a fair and honest promoter, which was uncommon in the early days of professional wrestling. In another anomaly, the St. Louis Wrestling Club did not recognize a tag team championship, focusing mainly on singles matches and angles.
Popular wrestling stars featured by the St. Louis Wrestling Club included Ric Flair, Harley Race (who was also a minority owner of the St. Louis Wrestling Club and Central States Wrestling), Dick the Bruiser, Gene Kiniski, Lou Thesz and Ted DiBiase.
In 1982, the St. Louis Wrestling Club was purchased by Bob Geigel, who also owned Central States Wrestling. By 1985, the WWF and Hulk Hogan were gaining huge popularity in the St Louis area, and the organization began to lose profits. In 1985, the St. Louis office was purchased by Jim Crockett Promotions, and was absorbed into what soon became World Championship Wrestling. Its video archives are now owned by World Wrestling Entertainment.
The St. Louis Wrestling Club as part of the National Wrestling Alliance recognized the NWA World Heavyweight Championship as their world title and the champion would frequently tour the St. Louis territory. Outside of the NWA World Heavyweight Championship the territory recognized or promoted the following titles at some point in time.
NWA Missouri Heavyweight Championship
NWA United States Heavyweight Championship (1963 – 1968)
NWA Central States Heavyweight Championship (1950 – 1972)
The Central States Heavyweight Title was the forerunner to the Missouri Heavyweight Championship. The title was created after a controversy on January 28, 1972 where Pat O'Connor defeated Harley Race for the Central States title. When promoters refused to recognize the title change and kept promoting Harley Race as the Central States champion Muchnick stopped recognizing the Central States title opting instead to create the Missouri Heavyweight Title instead.

The Star That Came to Earth
"I didn't mean," said Mr. Toms, in ;;n '
unusually deep voice, "that you are type
for a page." By which it will be seen that
Mr. Toms occasionally got off a bum joke.
It was his privilege to laugh and he did.
It sounded to Philip more like a cackle.
He noticed that Mr. Toms was shy a
couple of front teeth. "But it's true, sir.
You are a type. I predict in no time
you'll be a star!"
"You really mean that?" Philip said,
leaning over and ready to give Mr. Toms
his watch.
"Of course, I do! My dear fellow, I
know! This is a day of types. They
can talk as they will, but the face is the
thing. With a face like yours, direction is
a secondary matter. And as for a storywell,
you could write it yourself. In other
words, you'd put the picture across!"
It was wonderful enthusiasm, impulsive
enthusiasm, but Philip took it all to heart.
He glanced at himself in a mirror and the
face that looked back was illuminated with
a wondrous light.
"What-just what made you say that?"
he asked, in the way that his father might
ha ve put the question.
Mr. Toms stood up.
"To begin with," he said, shaking a conspicuous
forefinger, "do you photograph
well ?"
"Do you mean do I take a good picture?"
HYes."
Philip thought for a second:
"Well, I'll show you one a little later
and you can judge."
"Ah! I don't need to see it, but I
should like to, anyway. I know that you
do. That being settled"-Mr. Toms for
no reason coughed-"we get down to other
assets. You don't need to be told that
you are a handsome young man. Just a
second." Mr. Toms produced a tape
measure and began to take measurements.
He measured Philip's head, his face, his
shoulders. He stood off and surveyed his
"Perfect!" he commented. "You have
the most symmetrical head I have ever
seen on a man. And your features are
superb. You will flutter the feminine
hearts."
"Do you mean," said Philip, finding that
he liked Mr. Toms real well, "that all
you say will help me?"
"Of course, I do. All you need is for
some one to bring you out. I f I had the
money myself, I have no hesitancy in declaring
that . I would do that gladly. By
the way, can you ride, swim and dance?"
"All," said Philip.
"So far, so good. You may have to do
any or all. And how are you fixed for
clothes ?"
"I can have them send on a trunk."
"Good! I may want to borrow a thing
now and then, but you are at liberty to
anything I have. We are about the same
build. Only--" The difference that
was running through Mr. Toms' mind was
in the weight. "However," he said "we
won't discuss that now. For the p~esent
we want to get you started and I think it
would be a good thing to come along with
me in the morning." .
"Glad to," said Philip. "Do you play
big parts?"
"Well, not so big," said Mr. Toms.
"That is, not what you would call a star.
Or a featured player. But the movies
couldn't get along without us. I am, so
to speak, an extra."
"Oh!" said Philio.
" But remember"-Mr. Toms raised the
forefinger again and waved it-"there have
been extras who have become stars. I
predict such for you."
"Say," said Philip suddenly, "have you
had dinner yet?"
"No," said Mr. Toms slowly, "but--"
"Well, then come along with me," said
Philip. "And on the way out I'll show
'you one of those pictures."
''I'm very much interested in the picture,"
said Mr. Toms', at the same time
visualizing a picture of some steaming
No matter how Mr. Toms' appetite was
inclined to gravitate, he was interested
in seeing the photograph as well. And
when he beheld it, he went into ecstasies,
stood off and surveyed the one who had
sat for it, and then made comparisons in
his own qeliberate way.
"This clinches it," he said. "You are a
find! May I have this picture?"
"If you really would like to have it, you
may."
"Not for myself," said Mr. Toms.
"Though I assure you I should cherish it
at that. But with it I hope to show some
director a golden find."
It seemed easy to Philip, this business
of getting into the movies, and already he
was beginning to develop some of those
symptoms of the swelled head. His talk
at dinner was animated and voluble. Mr.
Toms, having won his complete confidence,
was acquainted with his dreams.
"I want to make good," said Philip.
"I've got to make good." And he considered
the advisability of telling Mr. Toms
who he was. But no, Mr. Toms would
then undoubtedly want to advertise it. In
fact, he suspected that Mr. Toms would
insist upon that. It was just as well for
the present to let Mr. Toms bring Harvey
J ames to the bat.
So the following day when he accompanied
Mr. Toms into a: studio, he was
introduced by that gentleman to another
gentleman' who appeared to have considerable
to do with the casting in hand. This
gentleman, however, was altogether too
matter~of-fact . He looked at Philip
steadily, asked a few questions and did
some entering in a book. He didn't seem
at all inclined to enthuse. In fact, when
Mr. Toms produced the picture and made
a noble speech over what it was all about,
the other gentleman nodded listlessly and
appeared to be interested in a fly on the
"All right," he said. "Nothing doing
to-day. Try us again to-morrow."
It was to Philip a crushing blow. Why
didn't this indifferent person throw open
the doors and ask him to come in? Why
didn't he pay more attention to what Mr.
Toms had to say? He seemed altogether
too unresponsive in his talk, and Philip
put him down as an outright stick.
"Then there is nothing to-day?" Mr.
Toms asked, as though waiting to be
reassured of that.
"Nothing. But wait I Say I maybe you
can be used, Toms. Suppose you stick
around."
It made Mr. Toms feel a little better and
he drew Philip aside to console him and
explain.
"We don't always hit the nail on the
head." he said. "But here's a tin : You
go over to the Miniature Studio. I heard
they're going to do a picture there. There
are two meA who are going to start something
soon, Goldstein and Steinberg. Be
sure to get in. And then later I'll see you
at the house."
"\~T here are they?" asked Philip, whose
unbounded enthusiasm had begun to react.
Mr. Toms took a pencil and paper from
his pocket and wrote down the address.
He gave Philip directions and told him
that if he had any trouble s~me pedestrian
would point the way.
"Be sure to see Mr. Goldstein," he insisted,
and he gave Philip a pat on the
back ..
The Miniature Studio, as Philip had surmised,
was a small building, having acquired
its name from the size of the place.
It was at present occupied by Messrs.
Goldstein and Steinberg, who had become
venturesome enough to strike out for themselves.
Messrs. Goldstein and Steinberg had
worked for film companies and had decided
that there was more money to be made 011
their own. They contemplated doing one
picture and they were looking for some
way to do that picture well. They wanted
to put over a knock-out-it was Goldstein's
invariable expression for it-but
just w.hat the knock-out was to be neither
for the moment had decided.
In other words, they hadn't started at
all. But word had got around that they
were going to do big things-word inspired
by the crafty Goldstein, who believed
that advertising plays, and manuscri
pts had come into their offices and
actors and others had been flocking to
their doors.
However, just as it should happen, the
waiting-room was devoid of visitors when
Philip called. Save for a sleepy-looking
office boy who had slumped in a chair, the
place was deserted. The boy suddenly
came to his feet.
"Is Mr. Goldstein in?" asked Philip.
And the boy, not at all impressed by the
visitor, wanted to know what it was about.
"I'll tell him," said Philip, not liking
this reception any too well.
"You gotta state your business to me,"
said the boy, with the air of a regal personage
who was talking to one of his
slaves.
"Just tell him Mr. James," said Philip,
growing a little exasperated but trying to
hold his temper in check.
"What business, Mr. James?"
"Oh, the devil!" said Philip. "Will
you go and--"
The door leading into the private office
. opened and Ike Goldstein came out. As
always, Mr. Goldstein emerged with the
air bf just having come out of conference.
"There's Mr. Goldstein now," said the
boy, and Philip beheld a short, rotund
man in the early fi fties whose bald head
glistened on the top. Mr. Goldstein could
be either affable or disagreeable, but as
he looked at Philip ' there came into his
eyes that expression when he was most
desirous of making a friend.
"You wanted to see me?" he asked,
st~dying Philip intently and stroking his
chm. Those eyes of Mr. Goldstein brjghtened.
That quick mind of his was connecting
things up. Was it possible? Could
it be that this fellow-no, he would wait;
wait as was his custom to hear what the
other fellow had to say first.
"My name is James," said Philip, and
oerhaos he mil!'ht have wondered whv the

Not surprisingly, successful entrepreneurs approach problem solving very differently than do their equally successful large company peers. It all boils down to something called effectual reasoning.
In plain English that basically means that entrepreneurs are "brilliant improvisers" and create their goals along the way, based on specific situations and the tools available to them at the time. Their corporate counterparts, on the other hand, excel at deliberately setting goals to solve specific problems and then creating plans to achieve those goals.

Indoor is where everything is going towards and being able to offer new exciting products on indoor is something we're going to be focused on for many years to come."
-- Josh Brasher, President, EBSCO Signs & Displays
"The industry's always growing and changing. I'm very excited to see all the new technology that's coming out."
-- Shamus Naughton, MMP Capital
We're obviously excited about the future. There's so much that is currently happening and then so much in development with regard to, in particular, indoor digital signage. Our company has a long history outdoor and indoor, but there are so many new applications that are coming out, that are being developed and that are coming to market indoor that, it's just endless opportunity."
-- Tom Coughlin, Daktronics
"[For] a lot of schools, the virtual scoreboards seem to be becoming more and more popular. I would say that one outside it gives [...] information, but the scoreboards in the stadiums, even in the local high schools and middle schools are starting to grow."
-- Cord Guthman, Guthman Signs
"[I'm] really excited about all the new technology on display. Users and clients are still just figuring out what it is they're going to be using a lot of this stuff for. A lot of endgame uses they're just figuring out themselves. Particularly, the specificity of what's available has really increased over the last couple of years."
-- Jared Newmeijer, SENFENG Laser Cutters
"Today we're kind of launching our indoor product and showcasing our high resolution outside LED products. So, it's exciting to be among the group for another year."
-- Carlos Olivardia, EBSCO
"I am super-excited about all the new technology and products being offered that hopefully will help satisfy my customers' requests."
-- Tisha Castillo, MyBizNow
"It's nice to see when new technology is coming out to the market. Keeps you on your toes."
-- Daniel Vasquez, Brand Management Group
"We've been coming to the sign show for at least a decade or more. Over the years we've seen the technology in the sign industry change with [...] the bringing in of LEDs and that technology in the industry. Every year it gets better and better."
-- Chandler Bart, Sedan Machinery
"I think [churches are] broadening their outlook on what a sign can do. In the old days, it was service [at] this time, but now they're seeing all the different options and how much that can really affect their attendance. Attendance is down overall in churches everywhere. So, they're all looking to expand that, and digital signs are the way to do it."
"Like any product, whether it's indoor or outdoor, quality is key, right? Quality and reliability. [...] We find that very important. [Also] being conscious of cost and making sure that prices are such that these products are affordable across a broad spectrum of applications is hugely important. Obviously, engineering, cost engineering to make sure that the investment people make is appropriate and sets them up for a wonderful return for whatever advertising application it might be."
The Excitement of the International Sign Association Expo
The ISA Sign Expo is the sign industry's biggest event, drawing over 20,000 people and over 600 vendors every year. This year, the expo was more exciting than ever! We asked ISA attendees what they were most looking forward to this year:
"[ISA has] new products, new customers [and] new techniques. Brand-new, cutting-edge technology."
-- Jim Sanslick, Graphic Solutions Group
"I've been coming to ISA for about five or six years now. It's just been interesting to see the evolution of sign technologies. [...] It's always been exciting to see new technologies being used to create graphic displays."
-- Richard Romano, What They Think Media
"What we're really excited about is at the ISA, we host our once a year Signarama convention. We have over 200 franchisees from all over the world actually come in, we have breakout sessions in marketing, breakout sessions for advertising and just how to help grow their business, and then they also get the ability to walk around and talk to the vendors, and get to meet with their vendors face to face. We're super excited about that."
-- Charles, Signarama
"What's inspiring for me about this event is the continued progression of technology. [...] We expect to see that continuing."
-- David Lindsey, Electronics for Imaging
"This is my first time at the show, and it is absolutely amazing. Just everywhere you look, it's mind-blowing. I'm looking for new signage opportunities that I can bring back to my stores. Things that we haven't seen in a traditional retail environment and innovations that we can bring back, incorporate them into our store designs."
-- Meredith Bright, Print Signs
"[The ISA Expo] is a great networking opportunity to meet everyone in the industry that I talk to on a daily basis. Also, [I'm] part of the ISA Elite for 2019, so, [I'm] meeting the ISA Board of Directors."
-- Ellen Dyar, Yorston & Associates
"The ISA [Expo] is great for us. It's our fifth or sixth year we've been with ISA. We love it."
-- Jason Friesen, Laguna Tools
"One of my favorite things about coming to the ISA [Expo] is seeing all the happy, excited faces from sign professionals when they get a demo of our product."
-- Vanessa Bagnato, ikeGPS
"[I've] been attending the ISA [Expo] for the last five years. It's a great opportunity to meet clients from around the world. It's a good meeting point [and] everyone gets to give a brief explanation as to what they're looking for. Industry leaders attend the event as well."
"I'm impressed with the show so far on the first day. There's a lot of traffic spread throughout the show. There is seems to be a lot of excitement here. It's a good size show. The exhibitors seem to be very excited and more importantly, there's people in the aisles that are stopping in booths and talking to people."
"We're here at the show, again, for the ISA [Expo]. We enjoy the opportunity to network, meet other people in the industry, see what everybody else is doing."
"We're moving into the sign business. It's just good to be at the show and know what's new and what we can [do]."
-- Carlo Salison, 707 Embroidery Zone
"I love to be here networking with a bunch of individuals. [...] There's a tremendous amount of businesses here [at the ISA Expo], all looking to network and grow their businesses, and we're happy to help where we can."
"What I like is not necessarily seeing this stuff on the floor here, but when you go to these facilities and you see it actually being used, that's where you really understand and appreciate what they can do with it."
-- Mike Duffield, AkzoNobel
"What I find most interesting about the ISA [Expo] this year is there's a good vibe going, because people are excited. The show just has a lot more vibrancy than it's had in the past years."
-- Wayne Connolly
"I've been coming to this show for 14 years. [This year was] a pretty good year overall."
-- Kyle Carnes, Vantage LED
"I really enjoyed [this year's] event."
-- Adam Finch, France Lighting Solutions
"We're here at the ISA show really highlighting some of the key products that are oriented particularly for the sign and display market."
-- Deborah Hutchinson, AGFA Graphics

-- Renita, FAS
"[The ISA Expo] is a brand-new space for us, so we're excited to meet the customers out there."
-- Mario Fontes, Beader Solutions
"Typically, in shows like this, there's always a theme to the show. One year it's a floor show where everyone's got new floor film, the other themes might be new wallpapers, or it could be a new acrylic or something like that. [This year] it could be new LEDs."
-- Brenda Thomas, Piedmont Plastics
ISA Sign Expo Exhibitors & Attendees Promote New Products for the Signage Industry
The ISA Sign Expo is the place to debut new technology and products for the sign industry. These attendees and exhibitors discuss their products and what they brought to the expo.
"The [HP Stitch was] just announced a couple of days ago, actually a day ago, and textile printers for the sportswear, fashion, household, and soft signage markets. [It's] a game changer. [It has the] fastest color match. It's got replaceable print heads so it's much faster than anybody else's."
-- Tom Whittenberg, Hewlett Packard
"One of the cool things we're showing this year is the new Arizona 1300 Series UV-curable flatbed printer that has a new curing system, new inks and a new print mode that does 548 square feet an hour."
-- Randy Parr, Canon Solutions America
"We've had a lot of people responding with the [virtual reality] experience that we're doing. So, that's been a great experience for everybody. It's a VR experience, and so people get to experience what doing sign work would be like if they were in it."
"[We try to] talk to our customers about their business. Where is their business going, what do they say the challenges, and we try to inspire what you can actually do with inkjet applications. So, we have a lot of different examples on the show floor with our application cubes. You're limited by your imagination when it comes to UV and jet printing. And you know, try to give ideas to customers of how they can grow their business, new and unique applications that they can use internally to expand. So that's really what we like to try to engage with our customers as they come to the show floor."
"We're most excited about the growth of dye sublimation. I don't know what the trade industry says but [it's] been looking like 15%-20% growth every year for us."
-- Chris Johnson, Strategic Edge Imports
"This is our second ISA Trade Expo and really excited about launching our new brand of specialty tapes and getting it out to the sign industry. We've just launched our adhesive transfer product to our product line for vehicle wraps, window signage, and we've also released some new banner tapes and double-sided filament banner tapes, some reinforcement to it for adding strength and integrity to banner applications."
-- Chad, Incrediseal Tapes
"We do everything, every kind of wrap. Sign, sport, [and] we do the financing too. Everything you need."
-- Norma Alvarez, Wrap Nation
"We see today's customers that are really looking for hybrid devices that can meet their challenges as they move into new technology. So, the Anapurna RTR3200i, which is a 10-foot with a dual roll option, is a very robust build. It's all LED with six-color and white, and really meets the needs for customers that want to run single or double ships and are starting really to expand in new business opportunities."
-- Deborah Hutchinson, AFGA Graphics
"We're excited because we're moving into a new space with our equipment, [we've] been in business for many, many years. [...] We're new and they haven't seen this solution before, so I think that's what's getting them interested. They don't know how to store their products other than the old way. This is a new way."
"We manufacture sequin tiles that are used in outdoor and indoor displays. We can print any graphic to those tiles as well. It just provides movement to the graphic, [and] attracts people's attention. [...] We can do holographic imaging over the image. It just adds another dimension to the graphic. And everybody kind of wants to come in and touch it, and feel it, and see what it's doing because it's different."
"[We] cut and engrave different materials, plastic, acrylics, different metals, stainless steel, brass, [and] aluminum, [which] just provides a lot more durability than say laminates."
"We are a promotional product company and we've been doing a variety of screen printing and selling promotional items and it's tied into the [sign industry]."
"We do tape, specifically in the framing, award, sign, and trophy industry. [...] We're just more so concentrating on the various applications. So, in prior years, we were focusing on banner hemming, different ways to use our tape for banners, but we're kind of looking into fasteners and liquid adhesives, different ways to combine our products with new technology."
"We sell saws to cut in aluminum extrusion. So, we sell to a lot of display and sign companies. We do miter cutting, we have saws that'll do bevel cutting. [...] Which is kind of a need we saw when we were here last year."
-- Patrick Thornton, Pat Mooney Saws
"I know one company said they were debuting five new printers. Other companies are debuting new technology in terms of art equipment, in terms of software and substrates."
"We're going twice as fast as what we used to do with our firing technology in terms of a digital front-end processing. The growth both in UV LED printing and in soft science printing [is incredible]. Soft science, in particular, has been a great transformation in this industry."
"We are an aluminum extrusion manufacturer based in Los Angeles, California. Exhibiting here at the sign show again, and I'm inspired by the unique opportunities for custom extrusions in this industry, and we sell extrusions to anybody who wants to buy. No minimums, very custom, and American made."
-- Mike Thrush, Paramount Extrusions Company
"The big thing that we are seeing on the show today is the interest in self-contained, solar power lighting, or any kind of solar power lighting. It has been the number one request that we've had, and next time when we come, we're going to be bringing probably three times as many samples as we have now."
-- Jacob Head, Genesis Lighting Solutions
"I think the thing that excites me the most for Roland DGA here at ISA would be the fact that we won the Innovation Award for the top printer. And coming with that, and winning that award, we also got our name and our booth number and everything on the front cover of their show program."
-- Nicole Delcato, Roland DGA
"Acrylic urethane [paint] has been around for a long time, but the thing that makes our paint different is the resin that we use. So, there's no other company that has our resin. Obviously, we don't have their resin, either, but it's the longevity of the paint. It's just a better paint system, that's all."
"Our company develops ink, [and] we're the largest re-manufacturer of laser toner and inkjet cartridges."
-- Shilo Layton, Clover Imaging Group
"We got our HP flatbed printers, which is what we sell. We sell some Roland printers as well. We've got a new product from Matthew's Paint, [a]color management system. [...] Brand-new cutting-edge technology. Good for customers that paint."
"We are a sheetrock and tube company. We have foam PVC's, we have an entire, full portfolio on graphics products as well [for] the sign and the graphics industry."
"We make CNC routers and CO2 lasers. And so, we decided to be here this year, with bringing machines and showing them to everybody here. [...] We have some new lasers, got some different machines, new CNC routers that we're offering, different features, things like that. So, it's just upgrades on stuff we already offer."
"We are a Chinese factory, and we produce tube displays, [and] we can add lights in the tube."
-- Carrie, Expomax (China)
"We manufacture sheet metal cutting and forming machines. [...] With the economy doing well we're selling more and more machines in the sign industry which we love. The sign industry is closely tied to construction so if construction's doing good then I think a lot of the economy is doing well."
"We're just here making high-quality bulletproof products for the lighting, neon and LED industry."
"[There's] an increase in the demand for flatbeds, for UV flatbeds, and a lot of customers today are looking for ways to expand their business, so they're moving into that specialty printing applications, where they want to print on substrates that are on objects, that are not necessarily flat, and they need that flatbed capability, or they're doing two-sided work, so they need the flatbed in order to do that. So, there's a resurgence of that, that we're seeing here on the show floor."
"[We offer specialty lighting solutions that are] flexible and you can put outside the buildings. And you can decorate everything with this. It's for outside and has a UV protector and is a new product that we are showing."
-- Ileana, Allanson International
"The new product is PVC free products. So, it minimizes the plastic materials, so [it's] eco-friendly and green."
-- Anonymous, Starflex

Nigerian teacher Soji Megbowon in race for $1m Global Teacher Prize
Kenyan Tabichi wins $1million Global Teacher Prize
Kenyan teacher Tabichi makes top 10 for $1m award, Nigerian…
2 Nigerian teachers miss $1m Global Teacher Prize
Soji Megbowon: among 50 finalists for the Global Teacher Prize
A Nigerian teacher, Soji Megbowon, who teaches Mathematics and Computer Science at Jakande Comprehensive Senior College, Abesan, Lagos, is among the 50 teachers worldwide vying for the Global Teacher Prize of $1million.
Megbowon's nomination as a finalist was announced by the Varkey Foundation on Thursday, which said it scoured the four corners of the world to pick the finalists.
There were over 10,000 nominations from 179 countries, out of which 50 finalists were selected from 39 countries.
The prize in its fifth year is awarded to an exceptional teacher who has made an outstanding contribution to their profession.
"Our top 50 finalists include teachers developing peace-building skills and advocates for inclusivity to teachers changing curriculum's in their countries and integrating migrants into classrooms – they are all champions for change and are inspiring students and communities around them", the foundation said.
There were eight other finalists from Africa, with Kenya's Maina Gioko, from Aga Khan Academy in Mombassa and Peter Tabichi from Keriko Secondary School in Nakuru, taking two slots.
Other African teachers in the race are Assane Ndiaye from Senegal, Chifuniro M'manga Kamwendo(Malawi), James Linville(Somalia), Robert Gbari Gariba(Ghana) and the only woman Thejane Malakane from Maseru, Lesotho.
Megbowon, from Ondo State, apart from teaching in the state school in Lagos, runs a non-for-profit enterprise and is a social innovator in edutech.
He became a Tony Elumelu Foundation entrepreneur in 2016, with his Calculus EduAIDS, which he founded in 2015, to research and develop inclusive curriculum-based educational aids that bridge the learning gaps created by large class sizes.
With help from the foundation, he also developed TEENPRENEURS HUB, a leadership incubation, STEM education and entrepreneurship centre that trains and empower teenagers and other young people from his host community – Abesan, Lagos, Nigeria, to become transformational leaders and solution providers through our holistic education mode.
Through his classroom practices and the introduction of curriculum-based learning aids, he has recorded and maintained a 20% improvement in academic performance in the past two years. Over 50 students from other schools who have attended his organised student leadership programme are now leaders in their respective institutions.
In 2017, Megbowon was one of the local trainers selected for AFRICA CODE week to train over 500 teachers in Ondo State. He has also received the Lagos State Education District commendation, the Creative and Innovative Teacher award, and a commendation from the Vice-President of Nigeria.
If awarded the Global Teacher Prize, Megbowon said he would use 30% of the funds to acquire equipment to distribute 30,000 free copies of his curriculum-based learning aids; 40% would be used to distribute 15,000 free copies of his newly invented "letters and digits" board games that teach literacy and numeracy; and 30% would be used to start a mobile technology hub to bridge technology gaps affecting people in rural and underserved communities.

Police believe the boy had wandered away from his home
RCMP in northern Manitoba say a two-year-old boy has been killed by dogs.
Police say they received a report of a dog attack in Gods Lake Narrows early Monday afternoon from a band councillor.
Officers found the child with life-threatening injuries in a wooded area not far from where he lived. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police believe the boy had wandered away from his home and was attacked by several dogs.
Spokesman Sgt. Paul Manaigre says officers don't know how many dogs were involved as there were no witnesses to the attack. Community members did shoot one or two dogs that had returned to the area.
Gods Lake Narrows Chief Gilbert Andrews says people in the small community are devastated.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 24, 2019.

Thousands of great books have been written about the Blessed Mother, and sometimes, when I think of all the other reading I want to do, the thought of catching up on Marian reading just depresses me.
Don't get me wrong: I love reading about Mary. It's just…well, sometimes the books are hard, or thick, or…well, maybe it's just that I'm lazy and busy.
So I dragged my feet before I bought Mark Shea's Mary, Mother of the Son trilogy. It wasn't until a good friend, a friend who gets so many review books that she doesn't often actually part with her money for them, told me she had bought them that I started to reconsider.
After all, I have always enjoyed Shea's writing. It seemed like a formula for success: love author + love subject = love book. Right?
I love to read, but my to-read shelf has started to own me lately. In fact, in a fit of decluttering, I got rid of a bunch of (gasp) unread books recently (and it didn't kill me).
I was about two paragraphs into Volume One, Modern Myths and Ancient Truth, when I realized I had hesitated far too long and for no good reason. I was captivated. I was enthralled. I was falling in love with Mary all over again.
And now, I'm going to give you the chance to WIN this indispensable Marian trilogy. Leave a comment here and next Friday, May 21, I'll use the random number generator to select a winner who will win a copy of the trilogy. Many thanks to Mark Shea and Catholic Answers!
I have been wanting to know Mary more deeply and these books might be a good place to start. Thanks for the opportunity to win this trilogy.
Mary is calling me. I can hear it. Maybe I'll win his time!
I've been eyeing them and intimidated by the whole 3 volume thing. Maybe winning would get me past that. I could use a little Marian encouragement.
I love Mark Shea, count me in!
Hadn't heard of these – definitely want to read them now!
Please include me, I'm trying my best to learn more about our Blessed Mother!
This looks like a great series. I'd love to read and share these books.
I like Mark Shea's books too!
I've been meaning to get round to these for a while. Pick me to save me some pennies!
What made Vol. 3 your favorite?
I've been reading Mark Shea's blog for years and would love to own his books.
My comment is… I hope I win!
I converted to the Catholic Church from my Southern Baptist roots on Easter Vigil 2009. The one hangup I have in my faith is – you guessed it – Marian devotion. I love the Blessed Mother, but I still have some of the old stumbling blocks floating around in my head. If I'm not fortunate enough to win your giveaway I'll need to give serious thought to ordering these for myself. God bless!
Another Shea devotee here. Count me in and thanks for your wonderful review.
Count me in… wish everyone could win!
I've been wanting the set, but haven't been able to afford it. Glad you're liking them, and maybe this will be the lucky number.
As a mother, Mary has such a special place in my heart. I hope to be able to read these soon!
More Shea literature would be most welcome here.
I've been thinking about getting these for a while — it would be really awesome to win them! Mark Shea's writing has really been helpful to me in my recent coming more deeply into the faith.
The poor grad student wants in!
These sound like great books to read while nursing my new little one this summer. Thanks!!


For a good quality day, it is preferred having a good sleep plan. If there's no sleep plan and you are staying up at late night then you might get frequent headache, mood swings which leads to permeant insomnia problems. The peaceful and calm sleep relaxes your brain, help you to focus and concentrate on one thing at a time and make you active throughout the day. If you focus towards acquiring ideal plan for sleeping habits then it may help you get an organized and an ideal life as well. You would just have to give it some time, because old habits don't go off easy.
Just make your efforts full and act according to plan. Let me explain few perfect ways ways to get to sleep better.
Caffeine normally is having a stimulant that becomes hindrance between you and your sleep so it does not matter how much you crave for it but don't go near of it. Avoid any sort of caffeine whether it espresso, tea, chocolate, cola, etc just don't take it at least 5 to 6 hours before you sleep. It really affects badly towards your sleeping pattern and nobody wants to stay awake late at night without any reason.
It is really important for you that your bedroom should be in a condition where you get sleep positive vibes easily. It is preferred that you should use dim lights, light colors surroundings, no sound environment which would ultimately encourage you to sleep well. It is also preferred that you should set your AC temperature in the best way possible which matters with your sleeping patterns. Also do check your bedsheets, etc that are they good enough to give you a proper sleep or not. Try to move your cellphones away from the sleeping area and lessen the amount of electronic appliances from there.
Similarly, it is also just not enough one has to assess themselves that what leads them to sleep and then just do it at the proper time like you can do exercise, read a book,, watch TV, eat something , etc. Don't do that thing which motivates you to become more active. It is all related with your internal system. One thing to note here is that when you seem to be fully tired then go to sleep because it would ultimately lead you to sleep in anyway.
There are so many food item that relaxes you more leading to a good and complete sleep. Try to take as much as of these foods at the night time so you can have a proper sleeping routine such as food items with amino acids, lots of juicy cherries, intake of brown rice, etc. Similarly, you can start eating walnuts before sleeping as it contain high amount of nutrients that are only working to make you sleep better. Almonds and any food item having loads of lettuce can also be used as the best sleep maker item. The thing called as glycemic index is really high in white rice which also leads to take rest and sleep so, it can also be sued for the same purpose.
Don't think too much, it's your time to sleep not to regret on your past or worry about the future. These are not your concerns right now rather it is the time to relax and sleep. Put away your laptop and Smartphone because it would eventually become a hindrance between you and your beauty sleep. It is not a good habit at all to be a night owl person. It is better for the techy person to do all of these implementations because they give themselves most excuses of not having a proper sleep only due to technology. For this reason also avoid much lights in your room because it also attracts you to focus towards it. It is a game of making strategies and then acting according to it so if you plan well then you would ultimately succeed.
Do check on this habit because it is one of the most effective ones. Yes, take a good bath before sleeping because sometime your body just needs Me time which you can only provide it in this form. Do exfoliation, scrubbing in hot water and just sit relaxed in the bath tub because it is all about your body needs and then when you would come to bed, eventually you will fall asleep easily. For more effective and sooner results, do some yoga and stretches in order to get a better sleeping routine. It just keeps you in routine and set your internal clock easily.


Miss Pig is one of my first characters that I have ever designed. I had fun at refreshing her pattern adding here and there some variations to the original version.
I re-wrote the instruction according the current format of my patterns and included the learning gained over the last few years.
I really hope you would like the new Miss Pig, do send me a photo if you happen to have time. I would love to seeing your work!

Q: Pine script - dolar cost average strategy I'm new to Pinescript and am trying to build a strategy that would place an initial order at a limit price and will DCA (dollar cost average) the position if the price drops by x percent. I've managed to get initial order placed with the code below, but cannot make the rest of it working. TradingView would place initial order and but would not DCA. I'm using a loop to place those subsequent orders. I'd appreciate your any insights you could provide into it.
