Lyndon B. Johnson is born
On August 27, 1908, future President Lyndon Baines Johnson is born on a farm near Stonewall, Texas. The brash, outspoken Johnson grew up in an impoverished rural area and worked his way through a teachers' training college before entering politics.
In 1937, Johnson won a seat in the House of Representatives. His government service was interrupted by World War II, during which he served in the Navy and won the Silver Star for bravery in combat in the South Pacific. After the war, he served additional terms in the House of Representatives until he was elected to the Senate in 1948. He became the Senate's minority leader in 1953. A year later, with the Democrats in control of Congress, Johnson became the Senate's majority leader and, in 1960, John F. Kennedy chose Johnson as his running mate. In 1963, Johnson was unexpectedly thrust into the role of president when JFK was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. "LBJ," as he was known, was sworn in on Air Force One, while a stricken Jacqueline Kennedy looked on, on November 22, 1963.
As he finished out Kennedy's term, Johnson strove to pass legislation that he felt would make America a "Great Society." In 1964, Americans officially elected Johnson to the presidency by the largest popular vote in the nation's history. Johnson used this mandate to push for improvements he believed would better the American way of life.
Under Johnson, Congress enacted sweeping legislation in the areas of civil rights, health care, education and the environment. During his State of the Union speech on January 4, 1965, Johnson laid out his agenda to fight urban decay, poverty and racism. He pushed through the creation of Medicare/Medicaid, Head Start, the Voting Rights Act, the Civil Rights Act, the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the White House Conference on Natural Beauty. He also signed the National Foundation of the Arts and Humanities Act, out of which emerged the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Through the Economic Opportunity Act, Johnson fought a "War on Poverty" by implementing improvements in early childhood education and fair-employment policies. Johnson was also a strong advocate for conservation and proposed the creation of a "green legacy" through the preservation of natural parks, open spaces and shorelines and the construction of new urban parks. In addition, Johnson stepped up research and legislation regarding air- and water-pollution control measures.
Johnson achieved many of his goals, while also cutting taxes, and some of his programs remain in place today. In many ways, though, Johnson's legacy of a "Great Society" has been overshadowed by his choice to involve greater numbers of American soldiers in the Vietnam War. In 1968, he announced he would not run again for the presidency and Republican Richard Nixon was swept into office, thanks largely to his promise to withdraw American soldiers from Vietnam.

10 cool things you can do in Seoul during winter
Nathalie Esteban
Philippine Daily Inquirer/Asia News Network
Aside from getting married to your bias, every fangirl's dream is to be able to visit the country where it all started - South Korea. Honestly, whether you're a hallyu fan or not, South Korea is a beautiful country and should be included in your travel bucket list.
And if it's your first time in Seoul, here's a quick list of what you can do and where you can go!
1. GO TO NAMSAN TOWER
Standing at 236 meters, the trip to the top of Namsan Tower in itself is already a treat. You can take the scenic route and ride the cable car to the top or take the shuttle bus up the hill to Namsan Tower. This is also where you can find the famous "Love Locks" where couples put padlocks on the fence as a symbol of their love. Go on, put your name and your bias together on a lock. I know I did.
2. GO SHOPPING AND EAT STREET FOOD IN MYEONGDONG
In the morning, Myeongdong is your regular shopping district. In the evening, however, Myeongdong transforms into a beautiful night market; the streets are filled with carts of different kinds of street food and other goodies, like bags or souvenirs.
3. CATCH A STREET PERFORMANCE WHILE STROLLING IN HONGDAE
Although Myeongdong takes pride in being the most well-known shopping district, Hongdae district is not one to take lightly. While its streets are also filled with good finds, Hongdae district is home to street performers, from various groups belting different famous K-pop songs to being serenaded by a vocal duo. Hongdae has its own musical millennial charm.
4. VISIT KAKAO FRIENDS STORE IN HONGDAE
If you're a hallyu fan, you're probably familiar with KakaoTalk, and if you're not, at least I'm more than positive you've seen the cute bear-looking yellow character plastered everywhere in Seoul. Its name is Ryan, and I hate to break it to you, he isn't a bear; he's actually a lion who doesn't have a mane. He's the leader of a group of friends and you can discover them in their official Kakao Friends store.
5. VISIT NAMI ISLAND
No trip to South Korea is complete without the majestic tree line of Nami Island. You can get to Nami Island by riding a train from Yongsan station to Gapyeong station, then taking the ferry to Nami Island.
6. WATCH AN AWARDS SHOW
Winter in Seoul is awards show season. For only 10,000 won or roughly 500 pesos, you can catch an awards show and catch performances by various K-pop groups. Watch your faves grab awards!
7. EAT CHICKEN…
Chicken in South Korea comes in different flavors like Snow Chicken (cheese), Yangynum Chicken, and many other kinds, which sets it apart from our usual chicken, which almost always comes in its regular form: fried. There's something different about Korean chicken and the only way you can understand it is if you try it yourself. We got this good deal for only 16,000 won! An order comes in bulk, like shown in this shot, and we even had leftovers to take out.
8. …OR HAVE CHICKEN DELIVERED INSTEAD
If you're really tired from all the walking around Seoul, you can have chicken delivered to your room and basically anywhere in Seoul. A half cheese and half yangnyum chicken set costs about 18,000 won or 900 pesos and it comes in a cute pizza box-like packaging, with drinks, sides, and sometimes ice cream too.
9. TAKE A DMZ TOUR AND DROP BY DORASAN STATION
When you book a DMZ tour, you get a view of the painful history between North and South Korea, and in that tour, you'll be taken to Dorasan station. This is supposedly where the North and South will meet once the two Koreas become unified. There's something poetic and sad about the abandoned yet maintained train station, waiting to be functional again.
10. VISIT K-STAR ROAD IN GANGNAM
Aside from seeing the Gangnam bear statues of your favourite K-pop groups, Gangnam is paradise for K-pop fans, as this is where all the agencies can be found. The most famous waiting place to spot an idol is the cafe in front of JYP Entertainment's building.
These ten things are just the tip of the iceberg! There are so many other things you can choose to do when in Seoul. You can visit various temples and wear a traditional hanbok, or go to MBC World and drown yourself in all things hallyu. Or maybe take a side trip to other provinces like Gwangju or Daegu. After the trip, I have discovered that one thing is certain: each trip to South Korea will make you want to come back again and again - and that is exactly what I'm going to do!

The Mecklenburg Lake Plateau or Mecklenburg Lakeland (German: Mecklenburger / Mecklenburgische Seenplatte or Seenland) is the largest coherent lake and canal region in Germany and is sometimes called "the land of a thousand lakes". There are several nature parks and well-known lakes with unique flora and fauna in the region, such as the Müritz, the biggest German lake lying entirely within Germany, the Plauer See, the Fleesensee, the Tollensesee, the Schmaler Luzin and the Kölpinsee.

Important towns of the region are Neubrandenburg, Neustrelitz, Waren, Röbel, Teterow, Malchow, Mirow and Plau am See.

Geography

The Mecklenburg Lake District is situated in the central and southern part of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, mostly in historical region of Mecklenburg. In the south it crosses the border of the state Brandenburg. Hence it is also known as the Mecklenburg-Brandenburg Lake District.

Like the Pomeranian and Masurian lake plateaux, the Mecklenburg Lake District was formed about 12,000 years ago from the glacial meltwater valleys (urstromtäler) and sandar of the last ice age. The main terminal moraine of the Pomeranian stage of the Weichselian, the ridge that runs from Eberswalde-Chorin through Feldberg, Mecklenburg Switzerland to the Kühlung ridge near Kühlungsborn, borders the lakeland to the north.

The lakeland can be roughly divided as follows:

On Brandenburg territory the lakeland continues into the Uckermark and Rheinsberg Lake Region.

The area in and around the Mecklenburg Lake District is partly hilly but mostly flat, sparsely populated and mainly covered by forests, lakes and marshes. The lakes themselves are popular for recreation, boating, fishing and several water sport activities. They are a natural habitat for numerous plants and animals, including endangered species.

History
The lakeland was already settled around 10,000 B.C. by huntsmen and fishermen. From 4,000 B.C. the first farming communities were established, leaving behind megalithic tombs.

In the 4th and 5th centuries, the Germanic settlers of the region migrated south and were replaced from the 7th century by West Slavs (historically known as Wends), who intermingled with the population that had stayed behind.

From the 12th century, the influence of German settlers increased.

For a few years the area was a member of the European Geoparks Network and the Global Network of National Geoparks but as at 2011 it no longer possesses that status.

Natural regions
The designated natural regions in the Mecklenburg Lake District are the Müritz National Park, with Germany's second-largest lake, as well as the wildlife reserves of Feldberg Lake District Nature Park, Mecklenburg Switzerland and Lake Kummerow Nature Park and the Nossentiner/Schwinzer Heath Nature Park.

In this solo show Jarret Wright sinks so deeply into each of a series of six radically distinct characters that by the end it's hard to believe one person could have played them all. Wright will follow the portrait of a tragic figure, with a comic buffoon, a military hero with a Tarantinoesque nutcase.
What unites the six is each character's extraordinary obsession with something quite trivial. While I wish the sequence had deeper thematic connections, it does provide Wright with the perfect showcase for his extraordinary intensity and versatility as an actor.

The 12th Rifle Corps () was an infantry corps of the Red Army during the interwar period and World War II, formed four times.

The corps headquarters was briefly active between late 1922 and early 1923 as part of the Separate Caucasus Army, and again between early 1923 and early 1924 in Western Siberia. Reformed in 1930 and stationed in the Volga Military District, the corps headquarters moved to the Transbaikal in 1939. There, it was used to form the 36th Army in July 1941.

The corps was again reformed in late 1942 as part of the Transcaucasian Front, spending the war guarding the Soviet–Turkish border. From 1946 it was stationed in the North Caucasus Military District, and briefly became a mountain rifle corps between 1949 and 1954. The last formation of the 12th Rifle Corps became the 12th Army Corps in 1957, and was expanded into the 49th Army in 1992.

Prewar formations
The corps was formed as part of the Separate Caucasus Army with headquarters at Yerevan by an order of 16 November 1922, and included the 3rd Caucasian and Armenian Rifle Divisions. It was disbanded by orders of the army of 15 January and 1 February 1923.

The 12th Rifle Corps was again formed as part of the Western Siberian Military District by an order of 30 January 1923 with headquarters at Novonikolayevsk. It included the 26th and 35th Rifle Divisions and fought in the suppression of the Yakut revolt between January and December. Kasyan Chaykovsky commanded it between January and September. The corps was disbanded by an order of the district of 14 February 1924.

The 12th Rifle Corps was formed for a third time as part of the Volga Military District by an order of 28 November 1930, headquartered at Saratov at the former headquarters building of the 16th Rifle Corps. Its formation was completed by 22 January 1931, when the corps headquarters issued its first order; the corps initially included the 31st (Stalingrad) and 32nd (Saratov) Rifle Divisions. Georgy Sofronov began the formation of the corps, but was transferred to another unit in December 1930; the formation of the corps was completed by Semyon Turovsky, who commanded it from 9 January 1931. The corps commander also oversaw the XII Corps District, formed to facilitate wartime mobilization in Lower Volga Krai, which controlled the local military commissariats.

The corps began forming the 53rd (Pugachyov) and 61st (Balashov) Territorial Rifle Divisions during September 1931, along with the Saratov-based 12th Artillery Regiment, 12th Separate Communications Battalion, and 12th Separate Sapper Battalion, and the corps artillery range at Tatishchevo. These units comprised locals residing closest to their bases, and were fully formed by 31 December. Turovsky transferred on 11 February 1932, being replaced by Ivan Tkachev. The corps training center opened in May, ultimately graduating four classes of reserve officers and holding five territorial training camps. During 1933, the 53rd and 61st Divisions were reorganized as experimental territorial brigades, but in September of that year pilot exercises with the latter revealed that they were inadequate for speedy mobilization, and the brigades became divisions again.

The 32nd Division was transferred to the Special Red Banner Far Eastern Army during March 1934, leaving the corps with three divisions. The Saratov-based 22nd Aviation Detachment joined the corps on 1 October of that year. Corps units repaired track and restored telegraph communications damaged by a November 1935 landslide at a station of the Ryazan-Ural Railway. During the mid-1930s, Tkachev was succeeded in command by Mikhail Yefremov, Stepan Kalinin, and Vladimir Kolpakchi. By 1935, it included the 31st (Stalingrad) and 53rd (Engels) Territorial Rifle Divisions, in addition to the 12th Corps Artillery Regiment at Saratov. The corps headquarters was transferred to the Transbaikal Military District in September 1939 due to rising tensions with Japan and located at Borzya. Among its units was the 109th Rifle Division, which became a motorized division in early 1940 and transferred to the 5th Mechanized Corps in midyear.

It was commanded by Major General Daniil Petrov from 18 January 1941. By 22 June it included the 65th and 94th Rifle Divisions and was directly controlled by the district headquarters. During a reorganization of the forces stationed in the Transbaikal Military District, the corps was disbanded on 27 July. The units of the corps were used to form the 36th Army.

Second wartime formation and postwar

The corps headquarters was formed by an order of 13 October 1942, and by 1 November was assigned the 77th, 261st, 349th, and 351st Rifle Divisions, directly controlled by the headquarters of the Transcaucasian Front. In November the 406th Rifle Division joined the corps while the 77th transferred to the 58th Army. Major General Georgy Kuparadze, who led it for the rest of the war, took command on 6 December. The corps guarded the Soviet–Turkish border for the remainder of the war. Corps support units included the 132nd Separate Communications Battalion, 126th Field Office of the State Bank, and the 2329th Field Postal Station.  The corps joined the 45th Army in December with the 392nd and 406th Rifle Divisions. The 261st and 349th Rifle Divisions transferred to the corps from direct army subordination during January.

From April, the corps was directly subordinated to the headquarters of the Transcaucasian Front, where it would remain for the rest of the war, with the 392nd and 406th Rifle Divisions, leaving the 261st and 349th with the 45th Army. By April, the corps was headquartered at Kutaisi with the 392nd at Batumi and the 406th at Akhalkalaki. The 51st (Batumi) and 151st (Akhalkalaki) Fortified Regions were operationally subordinated to the corps. It was 83% Georgian, 9% Russian, 4% Ukrainian, and 4% other nationalities by September. The 296th Rifle Division at Kutaisi (operationally subordinated to the corps from its formation in July 1943) transferred to the corps from the 13th Rifle Corps during January 1944, and remained with the corps for the rest of the war. The 392nd transferred to the 13th Rifle Corps during August, leaving the corps with the 296th and 406th Rifle Divisions for the rest of the war.

In 1946, its headquarters was transferred to Ordzhonikidze in the North Caucasus Military District, where it included the 3rd Guards and 11th Separate Rifle Brigades. Between 28 July 1949 and September 1954, it was a mountain rifle corps with the 24th Guards and 19th Mountain Rifle Divisions, formed from the 3rd Guards and 11th Brigades, respectively. When it reverted to the 12th Rifle Corps, the two divisions became rifle divisions again. The corps became the 12th Army Corps on 25 June 1957, with the 24th Guards becoming the 42nd Guards Motor Rifle Division and the 19th the 92nd Motor Rifle Division.

During the early 1960s, the 42nd Guards became a training unit and was subordinated to the North Caucasus Military District, and by the end of the decade the corps headquarters relocated to Krasnodar, replacing that of the 29th Army Corps. At Krasnodar, the corps controlled the 9th Motor Rifle Division at Maykop and two mobilization motor rifle divisions – the 62nd (co–located with the 9th) and the 156th at Novorossiysk. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the corps became part of the Russian Ground Forces and was expanded into the 49th Army in May 1992.

This blog post is a walkthrough of how to easily move from variable replacement to OpenDoPE content control data binding.
Variable replacement is quite a popular way to get started generating Word documents.
I guess that's because developers expect this sort of approach to be available, and its easy: all you have to do is add your variables to the document, then bang, you replace them.
variable replacement is great if you just want to replace text, but what if you want to replace images, conditionally include/exclude content, or repeat table rows or list entries?
Content control data binding is a great solution to these problems.
Some users create very complex contracts and reports this way.
The good news is that docx4j contains code to automatically migrate a document which has variables on its surface, to one which contains OpenDoPE content controls.
Have a look at the main method to see how to use it.
There have been some fixes recently, so you should use docx4j-nightly-20180428.jar (or 3.3.8 when released) or later.
OK, let's assume you now have a docx file with content controls in it. You may want to further develop your template. For this you need an OpenDoPE Authoring tool.
The friendliest OpenDoPE authoring tool is the "No-XML" Word AddIn.
With this it is very easy to add conditions, but the limitation is that it assumes a fixed XML format. If you want to use your own XML format (or to bind escaped XHTML I suspect), you'll need to use one of the older add ins.
Here we'll walk through adding a condition with "No XML" add in.
I had pressed the "Show tags" button to be able to see the content controls in orange above.
Further down, there's an optional Indemnity clause.
Since its optional, let's wrap that in a conditional content control. First, we need a question "Do you want the Indemnity". It works this way because this AddIn is aimed primarily at the interactive use case, that is, a user can answer questions in their web browser to generate an instance document.
But the resulting template can be used just as easily for the more common non-interactive / entirely programmatic case.
So click the "Insert Q/A" button. I did this with my cursor somewhere in the middle of the Indemnity clause.
click next, then on the next page, choose type boolean (true/false), then ok.
You'll see a content control inserted where your cursor was. We don't really want that, so its a bit annoying (you can/should delete it). You'll see why we did this just below.
That's all you need to do. We can now try generating an instance document from this template.
How do you know what key to use? Look in the answers part in the docx and use the corresponding ID (yes, you should be able to see this in the AddIn, but the reason you can't is that for the interactive use-case, you never need to know), or you can just invoke Docx4J.bind with debug level logging enabled for org.docx4j.model.datastorage, and it will print out the relevant part.
That's about it. If you have questions, they are probably best posted in the relevant docx4j forum or on StackOverflow.

Trump's Immigration Stance Isn't Hurting Him
(Rob Kunzig/Morning Consult)
By Fawn Johnson
September 4, 2016 at 6:00 am ET
A week that saw Donald Trump solidly embrace his well-known harsh rhetoric on immigration has done little to change his standing among the public. After flirting with, but ultimately rejecting, a "softening" of his previous statements that all unauthorized immigrants must leave the country, the Republican businessman is within the margin of error in a head-to-head matchup with his opponent Hillary Clinton, according to Morning Consult's new poll.
Among Hispanic voters, the matchup has barely changed since last week, when Trump was actively courting Latino leaders.
Meanwhile, the public's views on the various immigration policies floated by both presidential candidates can best be described as schizophrenic. A solid majority favors allowing qualified illegal immigrants to remain in the country legally, for example, but almost the same percentage favors a deportation task force.
Trump trails Clinton by only 2 percentage points, 42 percent to 40 percent, in a poll taken Sept. 1 through Sept. 2. That's little changed from a week earlier, when the GOP nominee was behind the Democratic rival by 3 points. Almost one-fifth of registered voters (18 percent) still don't know or have no opinion, despite Election Day being roughly two months away.
Don't Know / No Opinion
Disapprove
Net Value
Joe Biden 42 8 50 -9
Jair Bolsonaro 41 7 53 -12
Mario Draghi 54 6 40 14
Boris Johnson 33 7 60 -27
Fumio Kishida 43 18 39 4
Andrés Manuel López Obrador 68 8 24 44
Emmanuel Macron 40 6 54 -14
Narendra Modi 77 5 17 60
Moon Jae-in 40 5 55 -15
Scott Morrison 42 7 51 -10
Pedro Sánchez 34 7 59 -25
Olaf Scholz 45 8 47 -2
Justin Trudeau 41 6 53 -12
Hispanic voters favor Clinton over Trump by a wide margin, 61 percent to 21 percent. But that ratio barely differs from a week earlier, when 58 percent of Latino voters put themselves in Clinton's camp and 21 percent put themselves in Trump's.
The upshot may be that for as much furor as Trump created by taking a brief trip to Mexico and then returning to his customary hard-line immigration comments, the public is worried about other things. Almost half of voters say the most important issues that they will weigh in this election are about the economy (35 percent) or national security (21 percent). Immigration policy plays into both those areas, but the issue is several degrees away from the raw notions of jobs and safety that drive most voters.
The next most popular issues for voters are seniors' issues (14 percent) and health care (12 percent). After that it drops into single digits.
The electorate is also collectively muddled about what it wants on immigration. When asked about various policy ideas that have been floated by both presidential candidates or their surrogates, registered voters are most enthusiastic about local and federal coordination on immigration enforcement and allowing foreign workers to come to the U.S. if they can show that they will contribute to the economy and share American values.
Coordinating local and federal officials on immigration enforcement has been used under both Republican and Democratic administrations, but it is opposed by immigration-reform advocates and Latino groups who fear that police will be frozen out of Hispanic neighborhoods when fighting crime. Dubbed "Secure Communities," the policy gives local police the ability to apprehend people who they suspect are in the country illegally if they are detaining them for another reason. It is one of Trump's immigration proposals, and more than three-fourths of respondents (78 percent) support such a policy.
Well over two-thirds of voters (68 percent) also support allowing foreign workers to come to the country if they meet economic and value-based criteria. That prospect hasn't been explicitly embraced by either candidate, in part because lobbying groups such as unions and anti-immigration opponents are wary of making it easy for foreigners to work in the country. Yet Trump has made reference to "a big door" on the wall he wants to construct on the southern border of the U.S., while Clinton has said that coming to the country legally would be easier under her administration.
Speaking of Trump's border wall, the public is evenly split on the idea, with 46 percent in favor and 45 percent opposed.
Voters are keener on a general idea supported by Democrats and Clinton (and many Republicans in Congress) — allowing noncriminal undocumented immigrants to remain legally in the United States if they meet certain criteria. Well over half of respondents (58 percent) support that proposal, while 33 percent oppose it.
Here's where the schizophrenia comes in. Almost the same percentage of voters favor Trump's declaration that all undocumented immigrants must return to their home countries and reapply to come back legally. That proposal is favored by 56 percent of respondents, while 37 percent oppose it.
Without altering the way people can enter the country legally, the "leave and reapply" process that Trump embraces would effectively amount to either a massive roundup of the undocumented population or "self-deportation," an idea backed by Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney in the 2012 election. Immigrants residing in the country illegally who opted to leave (or were forced to go) would need to wait years, sometimes decades, to return legally.
One of the biggest problems with legal immigration in the United States is that there are far fewer slots available for people to come than the demand. It would ease much of the pressure on businesses and families that hope to either hire workers or reunite with their loved ones if the number of people who are allowed to come into the country increased. But that idea doesn't seem to fly with the American public. Only 35 percent of respondents favor increasing legal immigration, while 52 percent support decreasing legal immigration.
Polling over the past 10 years has shown that the public wants to see an end to illegal immigration and a more rational system put in place. How to make that happen has stymied policy-makers in Congress and the advocacy community for years. It's no wonder the public is divided and, in some cases, confused.
Morning Consult's polling does make it clear that voters want Congress to be involved in the decision. Only about one-third of voters (35 percent) support Clinton's promise to expand President Obama's executive actions on immigration if Congress fails to act; 57 percent are opposed to that idea.

The exhibition is the result of the project implemented by the Daugavpils Mark Rothko Art Centre and "Saules skola", Daugavpils Secondary School of Design and Art. The aim of the project is to encourage youth participation in the formation of Latgale's culture, as well as the development of their civic awareness and sense of belonging.
The idea was to create innovative works of art, where the work process is based on youth creativity and enterprisingness for recovery and adaptation of materials for people with visual impairments. Young people created a unique tactile contemporary art works that contribute to the Latgale's cultural accessibility for everyone.
In order to encourage young people's creativity and sense of belonging to their region, country and the project that forms Latgale's culture, young people explored their sense of belonging to Latgale and the way how and what they see and feel in Latgale.
How Latgale's environment, culture and society looks like in Latvia? Being aware of what is Latgale inside Latvia, young people created contemporary tactile art works that depicted their own tactile Latgale and Latvia.
Any local activity represents a belonging to a place, and each place forms jointly united country. By creation of new works of art during the project these young people contributed to the development of a true spirit of enterprising and formation of creative thinking. With every single creative and innovative idea the youngsters showed their belonging to the region and state.


Samtec.com users have had the ability to search competitor cross references for over a year as I write this post, however we received some feedback that this was not always easy to access since it was a direct integration with our search. Our users were looking for more of a standalone experience.
With this most recent update, we have pulled the Cross Reference search feature into an application of its own, which is accessible in the Resources area of our main navigation.
Check out the new Cross Reference tool here to follow along.
Once you are on that page, just type in any valid competitor part number and we will show you up to 20 matching Samtec results.
It's important to note that we must have an exact match of the part number. Due to the wide variability of results that could be possible, we will not match partial competitor part numbers.
Because our cross reference relationship is "many-to-one" in our database, this means that multiple Samtec parts will often cross to one competitor part number.
The reason is because of our product differentiation. We can offer so many different options for a given product line, that this almost always results in a variety of different part numbers that are very similar in nature.
The results should be sorted to show our best match starting from the top.
If we do not have a match in our database, no cross reference results will be displayed. In this case, you can use our Support Options to reach our customer service team. They'll be happy to assist you.
Check out the new Cross Reference tool here.
We would love to hear your feedback about this feature, and any others on the website. If you have any feedback or suggestions for our web team, feel free to send them an email at eHelpDesk@samtec.com.

Andy just restored this page with the comment "31 revisions restored: many pages link to this, so I don't think it should be deleted. Am I missing something?".
No, you are correct. This page is the destination of many redirects.
If a page is deleted that we don't want recreated (offensive title, etc.), then the page is turned into a protected redirect to this article. This is because:
If the offending page is simply deleted, there is nothing stopping someone else recreating it.
If the offending page is simply emptied and protected, it will show up on the Random Page link, lists of uncategorised pages, etc. Making the page a redirect prevents these problems.
If the offending page is made a redirect and not protected, there is again nothing stopping someone else recreating it.
Instead of simply deleting the offending page's content and making it a redirect, if the content was particularly offensive, it is best to delete the page itself, then create a new one of the same name as a redirect to this page.
If the title of the page is acceptable but the content is not, then deleting the page and not recreating/redirecting is better, as that then allows someone to recreate the page with legitimate content.
If this page (not this talk page, but Conservapedia:Deletedpage) (or any page) is deleted and restored, as has happened at least twice now, the protection is lost and has to be reapplied.

About Conor
I have enjoyed a fulfilling journey of learning and training with the Irish Institute of Celebrants with whom I have become fully trained wedding, family, and funeral celebrant.
My background in media, broadcasting, and theatre has allowed me to hone my skills as a writer and story teller, and your story deserves to be shared and celebrated.
As a member of the Irish Ethical Celebrants Society, I believe all of life's milestones deserve to be marked and I look forward to talking with you to create a loving ceremony.
Indeed, when it comes to weddings, I just love love. I spent over five years presenting The Love Zone on Dublins Q102. And more recently I've MC'd both the Bride of the Year Show, and The Wedding and Honeymoon Show in the RDS.

The Celebration Sessions Podcast is available now for download and streaming.
In the series I look at life, loss, and love. As I step further into the world of celebrancy, I want to share my journey as I learn more about what makes us tick; how we fall in love, how we celebrate, the milestones we mark, and how we can talk about the inevitable loss we'll meet along the way.
Along side that, this is my reminder of how important it is – now more than ever – to CELEBRATE!!!

Editor's Note: The Ransom Collective is a folk band featured in the first season of Coke Studio Philippines, a program that promotes homegrown talent and brings different artists of various genres together to collaborate on fresh, uniquely Filipino sounds. On December 2, 2017, Coke Studio brought The Ransom Collective to the war-stricken municipality of Marawi for a relief operation and benefit concert. Here, the band shares with us their first-hand account on what it's like to spark hope back into the people of Marawi the best way they know how: through music.
Bands are often called to bring life to a gathering, to engage a crowd, to get people dancing, or to add emphasis to a certain portion of a program. As a member of a band, I've been used to bringing entertaiment to various events. But this time around, playing in front of a live audience became something beyond what we normally do.
Following a six-month struggle in Marawi that led to over a thousand casualties and displaced hundreds of thousands more, my band The Ransom Collective was invited by Coke Studio Philippines to play for evacuees residing in the nearest town, Saguiran. The date: December 2, 2017. To us, the task of performing for an audience crossed over with a sense of civic duty, making us feel the importance of giving our best and going beyond the usual. Crowds usually come to see the bands to show their support, but this time, it was the other way around.
We left Manila at around 6:30 AM and arrived at the venue at around noon. As told by one of the organizer volunteers, a refugee from Marawi herself, they have all been residing in the temporary camp for six months. Those who've had some "remnants" of a home have returned to the city; but those who have lost everything and have nothing to return to in Marawi City remain.
After playing our small part in handing out relief goods, we went on stage to deliver our performance. "Just go out there and show some energy. Ask them to dance with you. Mag-e-enjoy din 'yung mga 'yan," advised one of our organizers. The audience was a mix of children, teenagers, adults and senior citizens. There was little chance that those who watched us perform knew our songs, but we invited them to sing and dance with us anyway. Indeed, we noticed some people would dance, clap, smile, or cheer. Though we were just 20 minutes away from Ground Zero—which we were told seemed like a ghost town—we couldn't help but notice the joy that emanated from the faces in the crowd. It was enough to fill our hearts with more bliss than ever before. We were reminded that the spirit of Filipinos is not so easily broken even in such difficult times.
Though the distance was long, the whole trip was quite short. We flew out at midnight that same day after spending most of our time either at the venue or in transit. As tiring as it was, every part of our trip to visit the people of Marawi was a privilege in itself. It was no ordinary gig; it was an experience that reminded us of hope and resiliency and how we can play a part in it through the gift of music.
For the culmination of Coke Studio Philippines Season 1, a live benefit concert entitled Bringing Back Music To Marawi will be held on December 9, 2017 at the Mall of Asia Concert Grounds. The event will feature a total of 26 bands including Coke Studio artists such as The Ransom Collective, Autotelic, Reese Lansangan, Urbandub, Ebe Dancel, and Franco, plus other local acts like Leanne and Naara, Where's Ramona?, and Rob and The Hitmen. See you there!

JetHawks blow out Mavericks

Ryne Slack relieved Smith in the second but did not fare much better. He pitched 1 1-3 innings, giving up nine earned runs on six hits and four walks.

Munster dismiss Danny Care's claim that Reds dived and complained like PSG
Care accused Munster of 'rolling around and diving and complaining'

Munster have dismissed Danny Care's claim that the Reds dived like PSG players as Conor Murray insisted more should be done to protect young players.
The Reds were incensed after beating Harlequins on Sunday as late hits on Ben Healy have led to him being ruled out for two to four weeks with a shoulder injury.
Johann van Graan was highly critical of the targeting of the 21-year-old, and while yesterday Munster's attack coach Stephen Larkham said that going after a team's no 10 is "part and parcel" of rugby, he wasn't happy about what went on at Thomond Park.
"What I didn't like about the weekend is the way they went about it," said the former Australia out-half, alleging that the tackling was "illegal"."
"I think the ref dealt with it, the citing commissioner looked at it and deemed it wasn't more than a yellow card so I think it's done. It's done now.
"The sad news is that Ben misses a couple of weeks because of that."
Care wasn't having Munster's complaining, telling the BBC's Rugby Union Weekly: "You go after every No 10, anything we did to their 10 was done to our players.
"We thought we were playing PSG a couple of times with all the rolling around and diving and complaining."
Munster's Conor Murray (Image: ©INPHO/Gary Carr)
Murray made an effort to be diplomatic, suggesting it was "lads having the craic" on a podcast.
"I don't think anything is meant by it," said the 31-year-old.
"I'm sure if you ask Ben Healy if it was a dive, I don't think so. There's a scan on his shoulder that shows you a little bit different.
"I'm not digging back at anyone because I know what podcasts are like. I don't even know if I will hear it but no, I don't think that's a fair comment."
Murray, who himself has complained of being targeted beyond the bounds of the rulebook in the past, wants to see players like Healy better protected.
"The hit on Ben was just late and reckless," he stressed. "That's not going after someone, that's just going against the laws of the game and no-one likes to see that.
"Putting people under pressure is different, I think. Putting you under pressure for time or shouting at you, all that kind of stuff, to try and distract you is fine.
"But I think that stuff, especially if it causes serious injury, you don't want to be putting people out of the game for weeks.
Leinster coach Robin McBryde insists playing at home without fans is no advantage ahead of Northampton visit
Conor Murray stresses how much Munster want Ben Healy to stay amid Glasgow speculation
"With everything that has come out about the game it's definitely an area that needs to be looked at and cared for.
"You probably don't realise when you're younger but you do go out every week and you do put your body on the line.
"Sometimes you can get badly hurt and that's just part of the territory, but as much as the officials and the referees and the people who are in charge can look after players then I think that's got to be done.
"I think people being out for weeks or going out to try and injure people isn't the way the game should be played.
"It's a contact, I know there's a fine line as well but recklessness and seriously injuring people just isn't any team talk or 'prep' I've been involved with, so I don't think it should be part of it".

September 1, 2014 | Central African Republic
Central African Republic: Renewed violence in capital and throughout the country
By International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)
GENEVA, Switzerland, September 1, 2014/African Press Organization (APO)/ -- Although security had apparently been improving in Bangui, fighting between international forces and armed men erupted in the Kilometre 5 district of the capital on 19 and 20 August. Among the many casualties was a Central African Red Cross driver and first-aid worker who was shot and killed while evacuating casualties.
"Throughout the country, civilians continue to bear a heavy burden because of the conflict and reprisal attacks aimed directly at them," said Jean-François Sangsue, head of the ICRC delegation in the Central African Republic. "Once again, we are calling on all parties to the conflict and on the international forces in the country to take all feasible measures to spare the civilian population and to facilitate the work of Red Cross personnel striving to help the people of the Central African Republic."
Tensions remain high in the capital, and there are concerns that further incidents could take place. Many displaced people in areas near Kilometre 5, fearing reprisals, have taken refuge within the Church of the Holy Saviour, where conditions were already very difficult. Fear is also being felt by displaced people accommodated in the city's Central Mosque, which is situated in the area where fighting took place.
Tensions are also very high in Bambari, where fighting in the middle of the city between two factions of the same armed group resulted in many casualties on 25 and 26 August. Civilians, already traumatized by clashes that occurred in July, are filled with fear and alarm. At this point it would appear very difficult for things to return to normal. Those who had only recently returned to their residences quickly turned back to the sites accommodating displaced people. The removal of injured people has been made difficult by the tenuous security situation. The ICRC did however manage to provide the city's hospital with fuel to help it to provide care for the wounded and the sick.
"People who are wounded or sick, whether they be civilians or combatants, and regardless of which side they belong to, must be protected by the parties to the conflict," said Mr Sangsue. "In addition, the wounded and the sick must be safely evacuated and treated."
The city of Batangafo, in the north-western part of the country, remains paralysed. All economic activity has been at a standstill since clashes between armed groups and fighting involving multinational forces took place on 30 July. Even the farmers are without access to their fields. On 26 August, ICRC staff went to Farazala to assess the situation of people displaced from Batangafo and determine what their needs are and what kind of aid should be provided.
In Boda, 115 kilometres west of Bangui, inter-community violence that has shaken the city since 21 August has resulted in casualties and in the displacement of hundreds of people.
People in other cities of the Central African Republic, especially in the Kaga Bandoro and Bambari areas, continue to live in fear of being attacked by armed men.
"Our staff are striving to respond to the most urgent needs," said Mr Sangsue. "In addition, we are maintaining a dialogue with everyone involved in the hostilities, and also with community and religious leaders, with the aim of raising awareness of – and improving adherence to – the basic principles of international humanitarian law."
Between 7 July and 20 August, in cooperation with the Central African Red Cross Society, the ICRC:
● provided curative care for more than 7,000 patients in Bangui and in the Kaga Bandoro area, and performed more than 130 operations in Bangui;
● evacuated 15 sick people and transferred four patients from the country's interior to Bangui's Community Hospital;
● upgraded two health-care centres in the Kaga Bandoro area;
● supplied clean drinking water every day to more than 20,000 displaced people at Bangui's airport, and also to more than 11,000 people in Kaga Bandoro and nearly 20,000 in Bambari;
● delivered clean drinking water every day to Ndélé and its hospital for more than 10,000 people;
● provided household essentials for more than 18,500 people;
● supplied food aid for almost 25,000 displaced people in Bangui, and for more than 400 displaced people on the road between Bambari and Ippy;
● reunited with other family members six children who had been separated from them by the conflict;
● raised awareness of the basic principles of international humanitarian law among more than 400 members of various weapon-bearing groups and among nearly 150 community and religious leaders.
In addition, ICRC staff visited 560 detainees to make sure that the treatment they were receiving and the conditions in which they were being held met international standards.

By Simon Nias, Wednesday 14 March 2007
4DM Group is gearing up for future expansion with a restructure of its senior management, including the appointment of three divisional managing directors.
Chief executive Charles Grant-Salmon said the move would allow him, along with co-owner Les Ritchie, more time to focus on the £15m turnover direct mail house's future strategy.
He said: "It's very difficult, when you're involved in day-to-day management, to devote enough time to overall strategy. It's always been my desire to bring in a dynamic team to take responsibility for the running of the business."
The new team includes managing directors for 4DM's three arms. James Portsmouth takes responsibility for 4DM's direct mail division, while Lance Hill and Darren Crawford head up printing arm Transcom and data and digital arm Addition respectively.
Grant-Salmon stressed that there was no hidden agenda, describing the move as "more of an internal restructure than anything else". He added that he expects a lot of change in the marketing services sector over the next few years, and that he hoped 4DM would develop a "more sophisticated" offering, including more add-on services.
Grant-Salmon said 4DM would be open to future acquisitions "but only if they fit exceptionally well".
4DM, which recently spent £250,000 on a specialised Sitma paper-enclosing line, has also set aside a budget
of around £750,000 to enhance its paper enclosing capability over the next 12 months.

Logano honored; Elliott is NASCAR's most popular
Nov 29, 2018 at 10:26 PM Nov 29, 2018 at 11:30 PM
LAS VEGAS — Though Joey Logano said the reality of his first Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series championship sank in as soon as he took the checkered flag on Nov. 18 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, his words at Thursday night's awards ceremony at Wynn Las Vegas seemed to belie that assertion.
"Who'd have thought… 23 years ago, Santa Claus brought me a go-kart," Logano said during the champion's speech. "Who'd have thought I'd be a NASCAR champion?"
Logano won the title in NASCAR's premier series by winning the Championship 4 race at Homestead, capping a season in which he peaked during the Playoffs. Logano secured his spot in the Championship 4 by winning the first event of the Round of 8 at Martinsville, where he executed a bump-and run on defending series champion Martin Truex Jr. in the final corner.
"To the NASCAR fans," Logano said, "love me or hate me, I just love your passion."
The night before the season finale in Miami, Logano spent the evening providing dinners to the less fortunate, emblematic of the charitable work of the Joey Logano Foundation. The Cup championship will provide him an even larger platform for his philanthropic activities.
"I know I've made a lot of mistakes on and off the race track," said Logano, who got his ride in the No. 22 Team Penske Ford in 2013 after being released from Joe Gibbs Racing. "But God's given me an amazing opportunity to learn from each one and teaching me what it's like to have a second chance in life.
"That's why we started the Joey Logano Foundation, to give second chances to children and young adults in times of crisis. The other part of our mission. The other part of our mission is maybe more important, to inspire others to live a life of generosity.
"I talk about how our sport gives us such a large stage to make a difference. Here I am standing on the largest stage in NASCAR, so I need to use this moment to challenge all of us and inspire all of us to be the change… Let's just remember that life is so much more than what we see here tonight."
Team owner Roger Penske reflected on a year that brought him not only Logano's championship but also his 17th Indianapolis 500 victory with Will Power, his first Brickyard 400 win with Brad Keselowski and an Australian V8 Supercars title with Scott McLaughlin.
"To see this whole championship unfold over 38 weekends and to culminate here in Las Vegas—sitting up on the stage there with Joey, all the sponsors and Ford Motor Company and my wife Kathy, that she hangs out with me for over 45 years is amazing," Penske said.
"It's just hard to believe. We're going to be back after it next year. Each year, we set the bar a little bit higher, and I think that's what makes us so good."
To no one's surprise, Chase Elliott received the NMPA Most Popular Driver Award for the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. Dale Earnhardt Jr., winner of the previous 15 Most Popular Driver awards, made the presentation. Elliott follows in the footsteps of his father, NASCAR Hall of Famer Bill Elliott, who earned the distinction a record 16 times.
"I figured it was maybe going to be a tossup between me, Joey and maybe Kyle (Busch)," Elliott joked. "It's definitely a big passing (of the torch). It's so cool to know it stayed between Elliott and Earnhardt for so long."
Then Elliott turned his attention to Earnhardt, who moved from the driver's seat to the NBC Sports TV booth this season.
"I am glad, though, that you quit a year before you tied Dad's record," Elliott said. "I'm pretty happy about that."
NBC Sports' Kelli Stavast and Rutledge Wood hosted the event, along with co-host Marty Snider. All 16 drivers who made the 2018 Playoffs were recognized and interviewed during the program. Two of the drivers, Jimmie Johnson and Denny Hamlin, failed to win at least one race for the first time in their careers.
Johnson will race in 2019 without crew chief Chad Knaus, ending a partnership that started in 2002.
"I just look back at 17 amazing years," said Johnson, who is paired with crew chief Kevin Meendering for next season, "and really excited about what's ahead of us."
Hamlin seemed ready to embrace the new higher-downforce, lower-horsepower 2019 competition package announced for the Monster Energy Series next year.
"It can only go up," Hamlin said of his prospects. "Everything's going to be different. Everybody's going to be starting from scratch."
Logano, however, will be starting the 2019 season as the reigning champion, a role he is certain to enjoy, no matter what's in the rule book.
Elliott wins NASCAR's most popular driver award
LAS VEGAS — Chase Elliott was voted NASCAR's most popular driver, ending a 15-year run for superstar Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Earnhardt presented Elliott the award during NASCAR's annual season-ending awards ceremony Thursday at the Wynn Las Vegas.
Earnhardt won the award for 15 consecutive years until his retirement last season. His streak fell one short of the record of 16 set by Chase Elliott's father, Bill Elliott.
"Definitely a big passing," Elliott said told Earnhardt on stage. "So cool, though, that it stayed between Elliott and Earnhardt for so long. I am glad, though, that you quit a year before you broke Dad's record, so that's pretty cool. I'm pretty happy about that. We got it back in the right name. I'm a little biased. Sorry."
The award is based on a fan vote and sponsored by the National Motorsports Press Association. Bill Elliott won the award every year between 1984 and 2002, until he removed his name from consideration.
Now, the award has returned to the Elliott family.
Chase Elliott won three times in the Cup Series in 2018, including twice in the playoffs.
"I was in some good situations with some fast cars and I was able to get a few wins. It was a good year," Elliott said. "We couldn't finish it off as strong as those couple months there in the summer, late summer, but looking forward to '19 and excited to get back going."
His first trip to Victory Lane was years in the making.
Elliott won the Xfinity Series championship in 2014, when he was 18 and finally eligible to run a full NASCAR season. Plans were formed in 2015 for his move to the big leagues with Hendrick Motorsports as he replaced retiring four-time champion Jeff Gordon. Elliott was in the seat not long after his 20th birthday.
Chase entered the series with a built-in fan base that desperately wanted him to match his father's success. Because he drove for powerhouse Hendrick, in Gordon's old ride, many figured wins would come immediately.
Elliott did claim the pole for his Daytona 500 debut, but he finished 37th. His rookie season netted five finishes of second or third, a 10th-place finish in the standings and no wins.
Year 2 was similar. The pole again at Daytona and nothing to show for that effort. Even worse? Five runner-up finishes and almost certain victory snatched away at Martinsville Speedway. Elliott was leading late in the race at the Virginia track with only a few laps remaining before what would have been both his first victory and an automatic spot in the championship finale.
Elliott was instead wrecked by Denny Hamlin. He didn't win, didn't advance to the final four and two weeks later at Phoenix retaliated to ensure Hamlin wouldn't race for the title, either.
He finally broke through on the road course at Watkins Glen to notch his first win. That August victory locked him into the playoffs, and he bookended the second round of the championship chase with victories at Dover and Kansas.
Dakes honored
A volunteer with the Maryland-based Believe In Tomorrow Children's Foundation was awarded the eighth annual Betty Jane France Humanitarian Award during NASCAR's season-ending awards ceremony. Carl Dakes will receive a $100,000 donation for the foundation that provides hospital and housing services to critically ill children and their families. The award is determined by an online vote and honors the philanthropic ideals of the NASCAR Foundation's late chairperson. Dakes is a contractor who has volunteered time and resources to paint eight different Believe in Tomorrow facilities in the Mid-Atlantic region.
