Annexation boundary line debate
In November 2007, the voters of Independence and Kansas City voted for seven schools (one high school, one middle school, and five elementary schools) to be taken over by the Independence Public School District. Jim Hinson, the superintendent of the Independence district, believed that the KCMO district fought the annexation was because it was a "pride issue" and because the KCMO district feared that other parts of the district could secede.

The transfer did not include the C. R. Anderson School, which was originally called the Pitcher School. KCMSD annexed the school in 1957, and it became an alternative school for troubled students in the 1980s. It closed in 2000.

Dr. Erika Vause poses with her mini guillotine and speaks with the Torch about her history selections.
The sight of a miniature model of a guillotine in a professor's office might be a surprise for some students, but it always sparks a great conversation. The office in question is that of Dr. Erika Vause, a History professor here at St. John's University who focuses on Europe from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries, with a particular emphasis on France. The model guillotine that she constructed is the perfect size for slicing bananas, which Vause reenacts on the first day of her class on Revolutionary France.
Vause incorporates creative methods such as this, role-playing games and choose-your-own-adventure books, into her classes to inspire students to think about the world in which we live through the lens of different cultures and periods in time. It can be easy to take for granted the ideas and institutions normalized around us, but Vause challenges students to think outside of the box.
A St. John's student that is not involved with the History department might wonder how nineteenth century France relates to their present-day life, but Vause encourages students to look beyond "Les Misérables" (although that is a classic) when trying to learn more about this time in history.
In this television series produced by BBC, restaurant critic Giles Coren and comedian Sue Perkins immerse themselves in the culture, fashion and food of a particular location and historical period for a week. Over this period of time, while they tend to sample cuisine that was available to different social classes during a given time, many episodes focus on the extravagant meals present during the era. The show has since been revamped under "Supersizers Eat," and in season two, episode three Coren and Perkins focused centered on Versailles on the eve of the French Revolution. Vause recommends this show because it reveals what we consider to be unfamiliar and weird today, while drawing attention to the fact that it was completely normal in a different place and time. It presents a lighthearted take on the past and incites the viewer to learn more about a given historical period.
This podcast deals with non-fiction scary stories, investigating true and terrifying events and the myths associated with those accounts. It is perfect for those who like thrilling horror stories and are interested in hearing about true events of the past. Episodes deal with topics such as witches, cannibals and murders. In episode 8, entitled "The Castle" the podcast explores the serial killer H.H. Holmes, who built a hotel to facilitate the murders and hide the bodies. This particular podcast uncovers the "darkness of human history," according to Vause, which makes it creepier. Vause advocates for this podcast as a way to get students interested in factual historical events through storytelling.
Hilary Mantel's novel, "A Place of Greater Safety," follows the course of the French Revolution, focusing on famous leaders such as Georges Danton, Camille Desmoulin and Maximilien Robespierre. Vause explained that a benefit of this novel, in particular, is the personal element, which humanizes the people who were major players in the French Revolution. Mantel does this by recounting the lives of a few key players of the French Revolution, beginning with their childhood to the people they become.
Vause recommends the Japanese thriller, "Rashomon," to help students grasp the "unknowability" of the past. Although it is not historical, it deals with people highlighting different elements of the past for emotional reasons. The plot of the film centers on discovering the truth about a woman who was raped and her husband's murder. Each character in the movie tells a unique version of the story, which reminds the viewer that when studying history, one must take into account the motives of the people behind the telling of a story.
Another intriguing podcast is "Behind the Bastards." As the name might indicate, it deals with the worst kinds of figures, such as Saddam Hussein and Joseph Stalin. It uncovers bizarre facts about different "bad guys" of the past and a few from today. "It investigates surprising parts of their lives," Vause explained, which leads listeners to learn about different historical periods and understanding more about history's villains.
As a bonus, Vause suggests the show "Ancient Aliens." This show examines the belief that aliens visited Earth and influenced past events – diminishing the past achievements of various societies. But unlike the other recommendations listed, Vause warned that this show serves as a guideline of "what not to do" in the historical field.
Vause's interesting and thoughtful look at history is portrayed in the pieces of media she selected. With these in mind, she wishes to inspire all students to meaningfully look at the history around them and the perceptions that they may have of the past.

The Week in Review for 10 December 2010

The Week in ReviewIndiaFrance2G ScamRatan TataCarsVideo storyEconomy and PoliticsPolitical Economy
On Monday, French President Nicholas Sarkozy joined Prime Mnister Manmohan Singh in clinching a nuclear power deal between France's Areva and India's NPCIL. Under the agreement, Areva will supply two nuclear reactors. They'll be set up in Jaitapur, Maharashtra, and will each have a capacity of 1, 650MW of electricity. Four more reactors will follow, bringing total capacity to some 10,000MW. France will meanwhile supply uranium for the project for a period of 25 years. Overall, the deal is worth €7 billion.
And while nuclear power dominated Sarkozy's visit, several other matters also came up. Prime Minister Singh said France was India's most reliable defence partner. Sarkozy meanwhile welcomed negotiations on upgrading India's Mirage planes. He also mentioned the French bid for India's mega contract for 126 combat aircraft. On a different note, Sarkozy said the two countries had similar views on Afghanistan and that Pakistan must commit itself to fighting terrorism.
And switching to the second generation spectrum scandal, the CBI finally began questioning aides of former telecom minister A. Raja late on Thursday. The move came just one day after CBI investigators swooped down on Raja's own home in Delhi. Officials also searched his Tamil Nadu residence and the homes of some former telecom officials. Raja could meanwhile be spotted at his Delhi residence, looking at ease while the searches went on.
Also in the telecom scandal, Ratan Tata went public this week, with an angry reply to allegations against his telecom company. On Thursday, he sent out an open letter in which he denied Tata Teleservices had any connection to the scandal. He also claimed the allegations were part of an effort to malign the UPA government. Tata's letter was addressed to Rajya Sabha MP Rajeev Chandrasekhar who had claimed Tata Teleservices had jumped the line to get second generation spectrum. Chandrasekhar was himself once a telecom entrepreneur and is now an independent MP backed by the BJP.
Also on Thursday, India's current telecom minister, Kapil Sibal, announced the government was appointing a committee to investigate all spectrum allocations made since 2001. The new committee will consist of just one man, a former Supreme Court judge Shivraj Patil.
And car companies may be doing brisk business, but they're also planning to hike prices. Firms like Hyundai Motor India and General Motors India have decided to increase prices across models by 1.5-2.5%. And Maruti Suzuki and Toyota says they'll revise prices as well. The latest hikes have been driven by rising input costs.

CII expresses concern over Cola blockade plans
| Published: Wednesday, August 23, 2006, 22:04 [IST]
New Delhi, Aug 23 (UNI) The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) expressed concern today over plans by an anti-Cola group to block the movement of vehicles carrying Coca-Cola and Pepsi bottles.
Such a blockade would thwart the process started by the Government to verify the findings of the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) and upstage it, CII president R Seshasayee said.
This was ''absolutely not desirable and will have an enormously negative impact on the investment environment in the country and slow down economic growth'', he said in a statement.
He appealed to the environmental groups concerned not to precipitate such actions and deal with the matter within the framework of the rule of law.
A pressure group comprising member of parliament M P Veerendra Kumar, advocate Prashant Bhushan, scientist Dunu Roy, public health expert Mira Shiva, Gandhian Banwarilal Sharma and environmentalist Vandana Shiva had earlier in the day said they would launch an all-India anti-Coke agitation from November 21-25 when they would block the movement of trucks carrying Coca-Cola and Pepsi bottles.

When I tell people I was a sociology major in college, they usually look at me with dull eyes or ask the common question of "What is that, exactly?". It never sounds like the most intriguing of subjects and even when I signed up for my first intro class, I was skeptical of whether or not I would enjoy it. When I discovered just how impactful the study of our society would be on my own life, I couldn't have been happier with my decision of choosing it as my major and here are 10 reasons why.
Ever since I was a child, I saw those in need and felt the strong desire to do something in order to help them. I would make my mom pull over when seeing a homeless man on the street, so that I could hand him the candy I begged for at the store. I witnessed people close to me that were of other races or sexualities be mistreated and wanted nothing more than to stand up for them. I just didn't know how.
When studying sociology, I discovered the only way I could truly help others was by learning about how these injustices happened in the first place.
2. I wanted to learn about a variety of subjects, not just one.
When choosing to be a sociology major, you're forced to take classes the entail a variety of topics. From urban living, to gender, to psychology—sociology entails more than just its basic definition of studying society as a whole. This is because society and the way it has formed into what it is today was done so by so many different influences.
3. I've always enjoyed observing people.
Who doesn't like to people watch? We all do it and as a sociology major, it's basically your job to sit back and observe others in order to educate yourself. I would get to sit in a cafeteria and take notes as I watched others walk by me, have intriguing conversations, and make gestures in order to find common patterns within the group as a whole. It was something I had always done on my own anyway, so may as well do it for college credit.
4. I wanted to help change the world.
In order to create any kind of change, you must educate yourself on what it is you are trying to change. Just like how you can't exercise properly without knowing the right techniques, or you'll hurt yourself—you can't help the system without actually knowing how and what needs help in the first place.
As a sociology major, I learned exactly how the criminal system became what it is today, why those placed in authoritative positions tend to let power get to their heads, and how the history of mistreatment of minorities is still embedded into the society we still live in.
Now, I'm able to have discussions with those who may not be fully aware of these injustices in order to create a shift in how they might see them.
5. I wanted to understand political and societal decisions.
I've never been someone who engrossed themselves in politics and it was mostly because I never really understood them to begin with. As a college student, I knew that learning about law making and societal decisions would be an important part of my education. Majoring in sociology helped me better understand how laws are not only formed, but why they were formed in the first place.
6. I've always considered myself to be open minded.
As a sociology major, you have to be open minded. The first term I ever learned was "sociological imagination", which entails making connections between personal challenges and larger social issues. This meaning that when you meet someone that is struggling, is different, or even holds a lot of anger against the world—you get to understand that it is not just a personal issue. You become open minded to all these other influences and you learn to not judge them so quickly.
7. I am a creative type.
I knew from the moment I started learning, that I would always be a creative type. It was hard for me to count up numbers, to understand formulas in science or to think analytically. As a sociology major, I was able to use my observations, history and stories in order to better understand things like statistics. It made any kind of analysis work that much easier to understand.
8. I am a writer.
As a sociology major, most of the work for classes that I had to do involved writing. Whether it be discussing theories through essays or wiring pages of notes involving observations I had to make, I enjoyed being able to use my favorite outlet to do so.
9. I enjoyed having difficult discussions with people from different backgrounds.
In class, we always had to discuss topics of injustice with students that came from different backgrounds and of different races. As a white female, I knew there were some topics I couldn't quite grasp and the only way I would be able to learn was by listening to others.
Not only did I learn more about the world around me, but I got to learn about the issues facing our society directly from those impacted by them. It was both upsetting and revitalizing.
10. I wanted to change myself.
Growing up, I knew there were parts of myself that were selfish, ignorant and inconsiderate of those around me. The only way I could face these problems was through my education. As a sociology major, I not only was able to learn about the world around me, but also had the opportunity to learn about myself in the process.
I was able to see my place in the society I live in and how I personally can become a better person through my education.
Why did you choose your major in college and what do you think of sociology as a study? Tell us in the comments below!

Theme park enthusiasts give their thoughts on Hollywood's new Super Nintendo World
Previews of Hollywood's Super Nintendo World have begun to pop up online.
Attractions Magazine was invited to get an early peek at the new theme park, which is set to include Bowser's Castle amongst other Mario-flavoured attractions. You can check it out for yourself in the video below:
First Insider Look at Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Hollywood.
This is the second Mushroom Kingdom theme park area to open globally, following the first's opening at Universal Studios in Japan in 2021. The two will share a number of similar attractions, including an AR Mario Kart-themed ride, a Mario-themed cafe, and exclusive merchandise.
Jon Corfino, vice president of Universal Creative said that "pound-for-pound, you're gonna get the same game experience" as the Japanese venue, confirming that whilst the Hollywood park doesn't feature a Yoshi ride, both parks "have the same areas; they're just laid out a little bit differently because the space is different" (thanks, VGC).
"Overall, I would say I was left with a very positive impression of what I've seen so far at Super Nintendo World," concluded Attractions Magazine. "I hadn't watched too many videos of the land in Japan, so I wasn't 100 per cent sure what to expect, but my initial reactions were excitement at the overwhelming feeling that washed over me when I first stepped foot into the land (as a lifelong Nintendo fan) and sheer enthusiasm to check out the rest of what I didn't get to experience, including the Super Mario Kart attraction.
"Remarkable visual design aside, the real emphasis here seems to be on play and exploration, and that to me has always been what both video games and theme parks are all about – making Nintendo and Universal Studios a perfect match."
Not long to go now: Super Nintendo World is set to open on 29th January 2023 for annual passholders, whilst the rest of us can visit from 17th February, 2023.
A third Super Nintendo World is already under construction at Universal Orlando Resort, and is reportedly set to open in 2025. Meanwhile, the original Super Nintendo World in Japan is being expanded with a fresh Donkey Kong area to drum up further tourism from 2024 onwards.
Nintendo fans who also happen to be Minecraft players can live vicariously through a painstakingly Minecraft recreation based on plans and photos of the new theme park. The 1:1 remake is an incredibly faithful homage which hopes to have "3D models of every unique design this land has to offer".

Merced Shakespearefest
The Bard's World
2020 has been a challenging year for our community, our country, and our world. As is true almost universally, our focus over the past few months has shifted to questions of health, hope, and our national identity. Merced Shakespearefest has always been dedicated to diversity, and all of the beautiful ways that our differences and similarities can bring us together. Black Lives Matter. The health of our community matters. This has been our focus.
But the arts persevere. Our season has been disrupted, but we are pleased to say that our planned projects haven't disappeared, but rather have evolved into something new and exciting.
As many of you may be aware, Merced Shakespearefest's first bilingual production, Ricardo II, was planned for a June stage production. The cast was selected, design concepts were in place, and rehearsals were scheduled when everything shut down in March. The cast and director continued to rehearse online in the hopes of being able to present the project in some way, and after much discussion a solution was found. And this is what we decided:
If we can't do a play, let's make a movie.
As a result, the whole concept behind the show was revamped. In a whirlwind of socially-distanced filming over a two week period, we captured every scene on video with the intention of releasing the entire movie in a series of short episodes. Throughout the process, the cast showed an extraordinary ability to roll with the changes and adjust on the spot as we filmed. We are so proud of the work they put in and what they were able to accomplish.
And we can't wait to share what Ricardo II has become. All filming is complete, and we are currently editing a working on the first episode. We do not yet have a date for its release, but we will certainly let everyone know once we do.
We also have other projects in the works, but we're going to keep those secret for now. Just be aware that we have not disappeared, and that that the voice of The Bard will continue to be heard in Merced, and hopefully communities beyond.

Polycystic kidney disease (PCKD) is the most common life-threatening genetic disease that causes kidney failure worldwide. Patients with autosomal dominant PCKD notice an increase in abdominal size as the kidney cysts grow and present with gastrointestinal and pulmonary symptoms. Surgical therapy, percutaneous drainage, sclerotherapy, cyst decompression, and laparoscopic fenestration have been used to treat the symptoms, but the results are often unsatisfactory. We recruited five patients with PCKD. Each patient complained of severe abdominal discomfort, and had a poor quality of life. In these patients, we performed renal artery embolization. After the procedure, all of the patients were discharged without severe complications. Follow-up abdominal computed tomography was performed 3-6 months after the procedure, and we were able to confirm a reduction in the size of both kidneys. In addition, the clinical symptoms improved in all five patients.


The wide appeal of study abroad offerings and a desire to move beyond traditional experiences have renewed interest in models of international service and its impacts in the communities where students serve. But efforts to deliver international service programming must consider costs, the effects of service in host communities, the challenges providing enough opportunities to meet student demand. This special issue presents contributions developed from papers presented during International Service and Higher Education: At the Threshold of a New Era, an April 2011 symposium convened at Washington University by the Center for Social Development, the Gephardt Institute for Public Service, and DukeEngage of Duke University, in partnership with the Brookings Institution, the Building Bridges Coalition, and Service World. The symposium drew participants from higher education and volunteer-sending organizations into insightful exchanges on service models and strategies for addressing the other challenges of international service.

Freshman Siler Schneider's runner with 14 seconds had given the Aggies a 61-60 lead, their first since early in the first half.
But after Nelson missed a three-pointer with six seconds left, UCD senior forward Josh Fox couldn't quite secure the loose ball along the sideline, and the Anteaters were given the possession. White was called for a foul on Nelson as the Anteaters inbounded the ball.
The loss extended UCD's losing streak to five games. UC Irvine has won four of its last five. But in the three previous wins the Anteaters scored 90 or more points.
Last season, UCD rallied to win thrilling overtime games at home on national TV against Long Beach State and Cal Poly before announced crowds of more than 5,000.
But the Aggies couldn't quite pull it off against an Anteaters team battling Hawaii for the Big West regular-season title.
Fox led UCD with a game-high 20 points on 9 of 14 shooting and added nine rebounds and six assists. Graham and Schneider each scored 14 points and combined for nine assists.
Junior guard Jaron Martin led UC Irvine with 16 points, senior Mike Best had 10 points and Nelson nine points, eight assists and four steals. Junior Mamadou Ndiaye, the Anteaters' 7-foot-6 junior center, added eight points and had 14 rebounds.


The local voting for the statewide offices in the November election was fairly consistent.
The Idyllwild, Pine Cove and often the Mountain Center precincts voted in favor of the winning statewide candidate, usually a Democrat. The Garner Valley electorate was consistently voting for the Republican or Independent candidates, often with the nearly same total votes for different races.
For example, Gavin Newsom, the Democratic candidate for governor, was easily elected. He received more than 7.7 million votes, which was 62 percent of the total gubernatorial votes cast.
Idyllwild, Pine Cove and Mountain Center all cast a majority of the votes from those precincts for Newsom, each was less than 60 percent. But nearly three-quarters of Garner Valley voters favored Republican John Cox.
A similar pattern was evident for secretary of state, attorney general, controller and treasurer races. Cox got 195 votes from Garner Valley. Mark Meuser, the Republican candidate for secretary of state got 190, as did Greg Conlon, the Republican candidate for treasurer. The Republican candidates for attorney general and member of the Board of Equalization got 193 votes each while the controller candidate received 184 votes.
The race between two Democrats for lieutenant governor was the only time that a majority of Garner Valley voters cast ballots consistent with the statewide total and other Hill precincts. All voted in support of Eleni Kounalakis.

Q: PHP and MySQL filter multiple tables I have 3 tables:
users

*

*id

*name

categories

*

*id

*name

posts

*

*id

*title

*content

*user_id

*category_id

I'm making a filter (like live search) with jquery. A form with multiple fields represents diferente columns to list posts.
<form onkeyup="filter()">

<input name="post_id" />
<input name="post_title" />
<input name="post_content" />
<input name="user_name" />
<input name="category_name" />

//order by column
<select name="col">
    <option value="post_id">post_id</option>
    <option value="post_title">post_title</option>
    <option value="post_content">post_content</option>
    <option value="user_name">user_name</option>
    <option value="category_name">category_name</option>
</select>

//direction
<select name="dir">
    <option value="DESC">DESC</option>
    <option value="ASC">ASC</option>
</select>

//limit number of results
<input name="lim"/>

</form>

Than I POST this values through jQuery to a .php file that will query the database.
But in order to filter "posts" with the category name or user name I have or any other value outside the posts table I have duplicated these columns in the posts table.
Currently I have this query:
$query = mysql_query("
SELECT *
FROM posts
WHERE id LIKE '%$id%'
AND title LIKE '%$title%'
AND content LIKE '%$content%'
AND user_id LIKE '%$user_id%'
AND user_name LIKE '%$user_name%'
AND category_id LIKE '%$category_id%'
AND category_name LIKE '%$category_name%'
ORDER BY $col $dir
$_lim
") or die (mysql_error());

Than I return rows like this:
while($post = mysql_fetch_assoc($query))
{
echo "
";
echo    "" . $post['id'] . "	";
echo    "" . $post['title'] . "	";
echo    "" . $post['content'] . "	";
echo    "" . $post['category_name'] . "	";
echo    "" . $post['user_name'] . "	";
echo "
";
}

How do I make a query that searches inside other tables so that I don't have to duplicate columns in the posts table?

A: Use SQL JOIN for that, it will join the tables in memory without duplicating them.
W3Schools has a good example - Inner Join

A: Also, I'm not sure if I understand clear, but you're currently just searching against the posts table, users and categories should be joined.

A: I've figured it out using a query that's something like this:
SELECT posts.id, posts.title, posts.content, users.name, categories.name
FROM posts
LEFT JOIN users
ON posts.users_id = users.id
LEFT JOIN categories
ON posts.category_id = categories.id
WHERE posts.id LIKE '%$id%' OR
WHERE posts.title LIKE '%$title%' OR
WHERE posts.content LIKE '%$content%' OR
WHERE users.name LIKE '%$user_name%' OR
WHERE categories.name LIKE '%$category_name%'

The initial step is to get the music skimming around in your mind down on paper or computerized position. You can either get a music documentation program and info the music yourself, or compose it out by hand and contract an expert to etch it for you.
Music documentation programming is a system that empowers you to make and print sheet music through the procedure of inputing notes on a musical staff utilizing your mouse and console. Inputting notes utilizing a MIDI console or examining existing sheet music is additionally conceivable.
MuseScore is a business benchmark of music documentation programs. Experts will utilize one or the other. Which program you pick is truly up to your own inclination. Both are superb projects which cost around $600, and are accessible for both Windows and Macintosh. There are less expensive adaptations of each with less elements that are accessible, with Finale having significantly more to browse. Make an effort not to go beneath $100 or you'll begin gambling not having the components that you'll have to document and distribute your music. In case you're forming full instrumental scores then you'll require a full proficient rendition. In case you're creating something little like only a piano with vocals, then utilizing a less expensive variety will be sufficient pretty much the length of you don't get excessively involved. Rebates on the expert forms are accessible, yet are just accessible to understudies and instructors. Once the music is finished you can print it out on paper or spare it as a PDF record.
Lilypond is a content based documentation program, which implies you write in a code to deliver your music as opposed to tapping on pictures. It's more like a programming dialect like HTML than a customary graphical score altering programming like Finale or Sibelius. It's accessible for Windows, Mac, and Ubuntu Linux as a free download on their site.
Once your music score is finished you should spare it as a PDF document. You require your sheet music in advanced arrangement with the goal that you can distribute and offer it on the web. For Windows clients you will require some kind of PDF Printing programming, with the goal that you can spare your music documentation record as a PDF. Mac clients simply need to snap "Print", click on "PDF" on the base left, then snap "Recovery as PDF", then snap "Recovery". Ubuntu Linux clients simply need to snap "Print", click on "Print to File" at the top, then snap "Print".
Since your sheet music is spared as a PDF document you'll require a PDF viewer with a specific end goal to view it. Windows clients should download a Free program called Adobe Reader. There are fancier programs out there that permit you to change over, join, and alter PDF records. One of them is called Nitro Pro.
Imprinting is taking manually written music, inputting it into the PC, and printing it out with the goal that it can be all the more effortlessly perused by artists. On the off chance that you would prefer not to purchase a music documentation program and data the notes yourself, you can compose your music out by hand and contract an expert to etch it for you. A couple organizations that offer this administration are: Broschinsky Music, Note Smith Music, and DI Music. Costs will fluctuate contingent upon what number of pages the melody is furthermore what number of instruments there are. Once finish they can send it to you in PDF group.

Sister Josetta honored for 60th Jubilee
Sister Josetta honored for 60th Jubilee - (09-10-2017)
PHOTO: Sister Joan Ridley, OSB (left), superior of the Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration in Tucson, Arizona, assists Sister Josetta Grant, OSB in the renewal of her monastic vows during her recent 60th Jubilee.
The Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration celebrated the 60th Jubilee of monastic profession of Sister Josetta Grant, OSB at their Tucson, Arizona, monastery.
She renewed her vows at Mass and was later honored during a festive meal with guests.
Sister Josetta, a Kansas native, attended services at the Benedictine Sisters' motherhouse chapel in Clyde, Mo., with her family as a young child. Fond memories stretch back before she even understood what it meant to be called to religious life.
"I had never witnessed anything so beautiful until attending their services," she said. "I knew I wanted to be a part of it."
Equally drawn to the Sisters' devotion to the Eucharist, she bid her family and the secular life goodbye and entered monastic life before graduating high school. She made her first monastic profession on Oct. 5, 1957.
Throughout the decades, she has served as prioress and superior of several of the Congregation's communities and is now home at the Tucson monastery.
They live according to the Rule of St. Benedict, which states "idleness is the enemy of the soul" and includes an emphasis on work.
"I have been enriched by the lives of the people who have visited our monasteries throughout the years," she said. "I have worked with some very holy Sisters and have been blessed by each of them."
While Sister Josetta admits she didn't know much about monastic life before entering all those years ago, she holds no doubt in her heart that God called her for a reason.
"This is a wonderful life, challenging and not always easy," Sister Josetta said. "But our life of prayer and adoration is a wonderful ministry to the Church."


My boss called me into his office yesterday.
I was expecting the worst and I got it.
Seriously. I've done my best.
Where do you think it has gone wrong?
Was everyone else just taking stupid lessons and outdid me while I wasn't looking?
The world is so competitive at the moment, it seems like everything is on my level.
Should I go self-employed and start a stupid business working for myself?
It's awful when you realise all your life you've been stupid and one day you look around and everybody seems to be more stupid than you are.
It was my responsibility, commensurate with grade, to do stupid things.
It's the job I was born to do but I do see a future opportunity.
There a gap in the market, if I can make the leap.
I think I can break into Normal.
That's where the real money is – going against the trend.
Good luck with stupid. Suckers.
How good are you at being stupid?
Do you think you can handle the new normal?
I am not nearly stupid enough. I know this because my dog tells me.
Can your dog help me with my homework?
Learned a new word. Seems like I need to up my skills in stupid.
how about fan-tmesis-tastic. The word inserted into the word is actually what the word means. Not many words start with 'tm' great word.
I'm too stupid to comment. Maybe I should entertain the new normal. Change can be good.
The stupidity bar is quite high these days… lots of competition. Time to up your game.
I used to be less stupid, but I find I'm stupider now as I age and my memory fades, so all is well!
My dog can help with homework. He could eat it in less than a shake of a tail!
They have to end up smart, eating all that homework!
I couldn't handle all the money. I would make.
Current political leaders in almost any country you may name are proving that stupid is the new normal. Have you considered running for office?
You could help me with the interview questions at least..
Funnily enough I did the same things as him aged 10, then our paths diverged slightly..
Understanding stupid is just a head injury away!
With head banging you can just keep going until you achieve your goals. A clever,efficient way to become stupid. Highly recommended.

Q: Initialising a postgresql database via a setup script in a VM using puppet I want to run the following setup script to configure a postgresql database that's being deployed via a virtual machine, provisioned via vagrant using puppet:
#!/bin/bash -e

sudo su - postgres
createdb testdb

psql -s tm351test -c "create user test password 'test';GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE testdb TO test;"

touch /root/postgresql.done

My vagrant config takes the form:
package {
  [
    'postgresql',
    'postgresql-client'
  ]: ensure => latest;
}

file {
  '/root/postgresql.setup':
    source => 'puppet:///modules/infinite_interns/root/postgresql.setup',
    owner  => root,
    group  => root,
    mode   => '0744';
}

#TO DO - how do we guarantee the postgresql server is running and tools available?
exec {
  'setup-postgresql':
    cwd     => '/root',
    command => '/root/postgresql.setup',
    creates => '/root/postgresql.done';
}

service {
  'postgresql':
    ensure => running,
    enable => true;
}

Package['postgresql'] -> Service['postgresql']

How do I guarantee that that the postgresql server is installed and running, and the command line tools available, before running the config script?
I'm new to Puppet - does the Exec() not run if the created file postgresql.done exists?
I suspect that the psql command may also expect a confirmatory "return" to execute the command - how would I do that?

A: Your best bet is to use the postgres module https://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/postgresql

A: There's an official postgresql module that can be easily installed:
puppet module install puppetlabs-postgresql

or adding following to your Puppetfile:
mod 'puppetlabs-postgresql'

The configuration might look like this:
  class { 'postgresql::globals':
    encoding => 'UTF-8',
    locale   => 'en_US.UTF-8',
    version  => '9.6',
  }->
  class { 'postgresql::server':
    ip_mask_deny_postgres_user => '0.0.0.0/32',
    ip_mask_allow_all_users    => '0.0.0.0/0',
    listen_addresses           => '*',
    version                    => '9.6',
  }

  postgresql::server::db { 'testdb':
    user     => 'test',
    password => postgresql_password('test', 'testpassword'),
  }

  postgresql::server::pg_hba_rule { 'allow connection from ...':
    description => "Open up PostgreSQL for access from test domain",
    type        => 'host',
    database    => 'testdb',
    user        => 'test',
    address     => '.testdomain.com',
    auth_method => 'md5',
  }

At Thwaites, each of our families is a member of one of four different 'Houses'. Our Houses are all named after local areas ~ Black Combe, Duddon, Fox Wood and Swinside. Through the year, children work together to earn stars for their House team. Stars may be awarded for all sorts of different reasons, such as demonstrating a positive attitude, being kind, caring and helpful to others or working conscientiously. A child will be awarded a star during a Praise Assembly, when they can add it to their House board. Once a team fills their board, they can vote for their reward.
We will be voting for our new House Captains when we return in September.

If baseball cards seem like old hat, here's a new twist: venture capitalist trading cards.

Una cita romántica es una actividad social generalmente entre dos personas con el objetivo de evaluar la idoneidad de una posible relación íntima o de pareja. La palabra «cita» hace referencia a que la fecha y el lugar de la actividad han sido acordados previamente. Las actividades tradicionales en una cita consisten en actividades de ocio, habitualmente comer o cenar en un restaurante.

En algunas tradiciones culturales la fecha de la cita puede ser organizada (o arreglada) por una tercera persona, que puede ser un familiar, conocido o casamentero profesional. Incluso, en ciertas culturas en las que la castidad se considera un deber moral, es costumbre que asista una tercera persona, denominada carabina (o alcahueta o chaperona en ocasiones), con el fin de evitar que haya una excesiva intimidad entre la pareja. Recientemente, las citas por Internet se han vuelto populares.

Aunque la etiqueta en las citas durante el siglo XX eran más simples, hay diferencias considerables entre los distintos valores sociales y personales. Por ejemplo, cuando una actividad conlleva gastar dinero como salir a comer, tradicionalmente el hombre era quien pagaba; pero recientemente se ha extendido la práctica de compartir la cuenta.

Las diferentes expectativas que generan las citas, según el punto de vista de hombres o mujeres, son muy marcadas, reflejándose en los artículos de asesoramiento o consejo diseminados por los medios de comunicación. La duración promedio de una relación de cortejo antes de proceder a comprometerse o a casarse varía considerablemente entre los distintos países y culturas del mundo.

Sistema de citas
Un sistema de citas es cualquier medio que mejora la mediación a través de normas o principalmente tecnología. Se trata de un sistema de reuniones especializado donde el objeto de la reunión, ya sea esta en vivo, por teléfono o mediante un chat, es acudir finalmente a una cita real con alguien, generalmente con implicaciones románticas. Estos sistemas se han popularizado.

La historia de los sistemas de citas está estrechamente ligada a la historia de las tecnologías en que se sustentan. Dado que los métodos generalmente no se consideran como algo separado del propio proceso de formación de las parejas, a menudo emplean juegos, reglas o rituales en muchas culturas.

Entre los sistemas notables y recientes de citas en vivo, cabe mencionar la búsqueda de pareja («matchmaking») y las citas exprés («speed dating»), que dependen en cierta medida de las facilidades de comunicación en una sociedad moderna, y reflejan el ritmo de vida acelerado.

Estos sistemas de citas en vivo no suelen imponer una fuerte estructura en la interacción real entre los individuos que acuden a las citas. En este artículo, nos referimos al «sistema», en donde las interacciones son a menudo fuertemente estructuradas. Los detalles son los siguientes:

1960-70: Formularios
Los «Equipos de citas» del siglo XX, especialmente populares en los años 1960 y 1970, antes del surgimiento del sofisticado teléfono y los sistemas informáticos, ofrecían formularios a los clientes, que estos completaban con márgenes de tolerancia y preferencias, y posteriormente eran "combinados por ordenador" para determinar la "compatibilidad" de los dos clientes. La primera computadora a gran escala del sistema de citas, The Scientific Marriage Foundation, fue establecida en 1957 por el Dr. George W. grúa. En este sistema, los formularios que los solicitantes completan eran procesados por una máquina clasificadora de tarjetas IBM.

1980-90
Los sistemas de los años 1980 y 1990 usaban en especial los «Vídeos de citas», en que los clientes se presentan en un vídeo (por lo general cinta VHS), que era vista después por otros clientes, habitualmente en privado, en las mismas instalaciones.

También existen las «citas por teléfono», en que los clientes llaman a un correo de voz o a un teléfono servidor de chat, o a un número de teléfono local, y se conectan con otros clientes, y por lo general se cobra por minuto como si se tratara de una llamada local y no de larga distancia (a menudo mucho más costosa).

Un problema fundamental de estos sistemas es que son difíciles de diferenciar de un servicio telefónico o porno, de «sexo telefónico», donde las operadoras obtienen una remuneración a cambio de excitar sexualmente a los clientes masculinos.

Después de 1990: Sistemas para organizar las citas

Cita rápida
Los sistemas de Cita rápida, llamados también Speed dating o Multi Cita: Es un grupo de personas que se reúne durante varias horas en público; a cada persona que acude se le asigna una cantidad fija de tiempo para sentarse y hablar con otra persona en privado, antes de pasar a la persona siguiente.

Cita por teléfono portátil
Citas mediante teléfono móvil o celular: Se trata de mensajes de texto recibidos desde y emitidos hacia un teléfono móvil, que se utilizan para mostrar interés por otra persona que también utiliza el sistema. Se puede basar en la web o en citas en línea, dependiendo de la compañía.

Citas virtuales
Citas virtuales: Es una combinación de citas por medio de videojuegos, en que los usuarios crean avatares y pasan cierto tiempo en los mundos virtuales, intentando alcanzar con otros avatares el objetivo de reunirse, para establecer posibles citas (es similar a las citas en línea, aunque esta práctica no suele ser aceptada por otros jugadores).

Citas en línea
Tiene un funcionamiento sencillo, solo tienes que entrar en una de estas webs y registrarte. Estas webs ya se encargan de buscar a las personas más afines. Las últimas tendencias van hacia el mundo móvil, donde han salido varias apps que geolocalizan la posición e informan de la gente más cercana para poder ponerse en contacto con ellas.

Cita a ciegas
Se trata de citas en que las personas involucradas no se conocen previamente el uno al otro. Estas citas pueden ser organizadas por amigos en común, por la familia o por un sistema de citas.

Encuentros para solteros
Se trata de grupos de solteros que se reúnen para participar en diversos eventos, a los efectos de conocer a gente nueva. Los eventos pueden incluir actividades tales como fiestas, talleres y juegos. Muchos eventos tienen como objeto la afiliación del interesado a organizaciones, fomentando los intereses comunes, o los intereses religiosos.

Aplicaciones móviles
Como consecuencia del auge de los teléfonos inteligentes, surgieron aplicaciones móviles para la búsqueda de pareja, a través de las cuales se puede conocer a otras personas por chat y concertar citas. Generalmente el usuario debe crearse un perfil incluyendo fotos, una descripción y contestar a una serie de preguntas. También hacen uso de la ubicación del usuario mediante sistemas de geolocalización. A continuación, el algoritmo de la red social, en ocasiones basado en sistemas de inteligencia artificial, muestra perfiles de otros usuarios en base a los gustos que haya configurado en la app y a otra serie de parámetros que establece la aplicación pero que no son transparentes para el usuario. Cuando dos usuarios de la aplicación muestran interés mutuo, la aplicación avisa a ambos y les anima a establecer conversación vía chat.

El uso de aplicaciones móviles para ligar se ha popularizado, siendo uno de los métodos más empleados en jóvenes. Sin embargo, su uso colleva cierta controversia. Ha habido varios escándalos según los cuales las aplicaciones móviles han manipulado sus algoritmos para disminuir la efectividad de su sistema de matchmaking, fomentando el uso de las versiones de pago y dificultando a los usuarios encontrar pareja, lo que a menudo supone que abandonen la aplicación. Además, hay debate sobre los efectos  perjudiciales psicológicos y sociales sobre los usuarios.

Sistemas de citas por Internet
En los últimos años, y debido a la rápida expansión de Internet, se han hecho populares aplicaciones para conocer gente con intereses afines, como Meetic, Solteros con nivel, etc., aunque también hay aplicaciones de citas para mayores (usualmente mayores de 50 años) como Ourtime o eDarling.

Five Below, Inc. (FIVE) has corrected lower the past 3-1/2 months and has been testing the rising 200-day moving average line this month. FIVE is higher in early Tuesday trading so it may be able to start a rebound or recovery rally. Let's check the charts and indicators.
In the daily bar chart of Action Alerts PLUS holding FIVE, below, we can an exhaustion gap in early September as FIVE gapped higher but soon started a decline. Prices closed below the 50-day average line in October and the slope of this indicator turned negative in November. Prices finally reached the 200-day average line this month.
The daily On-Balance-Volume (OBV) line topped out in September and turned lower in November. The trend-following Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) oscillator is below the zero line but the two moving averages that make up this indicator are ready to cross to the upside for a cover shorts buy signal.
In the weekly bar chart, below, we can see that the share price of FIVE has had a nice run the past three years. Prices are testing the rising 40-week moving average line.
The weekly OBV line shows only some modest weakness the past three to four months. The 12-week price momentum study shows a slight rise the past three weeks. This not a significant divergence but it is a start.
In this Point and Figure chart of FIVE, below, we can see a bearish price target of $80.03 being projected but we can see that holding $95.50 will be important. A rally to $105.49 will be a positive.
Bottom-line strategy: It looks like the broader market will try the upside Tuesday and that may be just enough to get FIVE to rally above its mid-December highs around $105-$106. If this happens FIVE may have started a tradable rally.
Action Alerts PLUS, which Cramer manages as a charitable trust, is long FIVE.

On prison deathbed, convict says he killed Rolling Meadows man
In 1975, Michael Mansfield disappeared from his Rolling Meadows home, located on the 3900 block of Gull Court. Authorities said Friday Russell Smrekar, Mansfield's one-time college roommate, confessed to his killing. Daily Herald File Photo

Follow @chrisplacek
Michael Mansfield, a college student home for Christmas break, left his Rolling Meadows home on New Year's Eve 1975 to visit a friend in nearby Arlington Heights.
But his family and friends never heard from him again, and authorities classified him as missing and presumed dead.
Now more than three decades later, Mansfield's one-time college roommate -- already a convicted murderer -- confessed to his killing, police announced Friday.
Russell Smrekar, who was serving a 300-year prison sentence for a 1976 double-murder, confessed earlier this month -- as he approached his final days with a terminal illness.
Earlier this week, Smrekar, 56, died at the downstate Menard Correctional Center.
Authorities long suspected Smrekar in the death of Mansfield, then 19 and a student at Lincoln College, about 25 miles northeast of Springfield. Mansfield was scheduled to testify against his ex-roommate in a theft case just six days after going missing.
Smrekar, originally from Joliet, was suspected of stealing record albums from a girl's dorm room, and Mansfield was a key witness. But after Mansfield disappeared, the charges against Smrekar were dropped.
Smrekar later was arrested and convicted of the murders of a man and his pregnant wife in Lincoln. The man, Jay Fry, 24, also was scheduled to testify against Smrekar in a theft case -- in this one, Smrekar was charged with shoplifting steaks from a Kroger grocery store. Fry and his pregnant wife, Robin, 24, were shot to death in their home.
On Friday, authorities said Smrekar also had confessed to the 1976 killing of Ruth Martin, 51, of Lincoln, who was supposed to testify against Smrekar in the grocery store theft case as well. Smrekar said he buried her late at night under construction taking place on Interstate 55. On the day Martin was reported missing, police found her car at the Holiday Inn in Bloomington with blood stains in the trunk.
Rolling Meadows Police Chief Dave Scanlan said investigators have interviewed Smrekar on and off for about 15 years, but they weren't able to gain any substantial information.
"He told us maybe 12 years ago if he was on his deathbed, he would tell us what happened," Scanlan said.
While awaiting trial in 1977, Smrekar reportedly boasted to jail mates he murdered Mansfield and Martin.
In a 2006 Daily Herald article on the cold case, police said Smrekar was reluctant to give any information because he still believed there was a chance he could be pardoned for the double-murder conviction.
The Rolling Meadows Police Department's cold case review team had been working with investigators in downstate Lincoln since September in an effort to obtain new information before Smrekar died, police said.
Authorities said they brought Smrekar back to Lincoln in early October to try to locate where Martin's body may be, but he was unable to give a precise location.
Scanlan said Rolling Meadows detectives are following up on new leads as a result of information provided by Smrekar, but they don't have specific details on the location of Mansfield's body.
Mansfield graduated from Rolling Meadows High School in 1974 and was majoring in English communications at Lincoln College. He was known to frequent record stores at Woodfield Shopping Center and in Arlington Heights and Chicago. He had worked at the college radio station and dreamed of a job as a radio station music director, according to published reports at the time.
The Mansfield family has been contacted about progress of case, police said.

The Show Must Go On, hrvatska znanstveno-fantastična filmska drama iz 2010. godine, čiji je scenarist i redatelj Nevio Marasović. U glavnim su ulogama Sven Medvešek i Nataša Dorčić. Radnja filma odvija se u Hrvatskoj u bliskoj budućnosti, u kojoj su EU i SAD na rubu rata s neodređenim "istočnim savezom".

Bivši supružnici (Sven Medvešek i Nataša Dorčić) sada rade za konkurentske televizijske kuće, i prema političkoj krizi imaju posve oprečan odnos. Ona je angažirana novinarka i vodi političku razgovornu emisiju, a on upravo započinje reality show "Housed", koji traje 180 dana tijekom kojih šest ljubavnih parova boravi u kući izgrađenoj za tu priliku. Zaplet počinje u trenutku kada tijekom showa vani započne svjetski rat, koji za kratko vrijeme pretvara cijelu Europu u bojno polje. Filip Dogan usmjerava sve svoje napore kako bi očuvao natjecatelje od istine o vanjskomu svijetu, u početku zbog čiste ambicije prema ostvarenju većih rezultata gledanosti, a kasnije zbog emocionalne vezanosti.

Radnja
Priča o borbi za gledanost i karijeru na račun obiteljskoga života i brige  bivših bračnih drugova (Sven Medvešek kao Filip Dogan i Nataša Dorčić kao Helena Dogan) za sinčića dobiva novu dimenziju kada, sedam godina po stupanju Hrvatske u EU, započne svjetski rat u kojem je Hrvatska izravno napadnuta.

Filip isprva posve zanemaruje ratnu prijetnju, unatoč stalnim upozorenjima svoje bivše supruge Helene, voditeljice vrlo popularne informativne emisije na televizijskom kanalu koji se zove Euro TV. Nakon početnih slabašnih ratinga, show postupno počinje imati sve veću gledanost, te mu se Filip potpuno posvećuje, često zanemarujući obveze prema šestogodišnjem sinu Patriku, zbog čega redovno izbijaju žestoke svađe s Helenom. No, nakon nekog vremena Filipu postane jasno da opasnost više ne može zanemarivati.

Igor Saračević, tportal.hr

"Sve u svemu, 'The Show Must Go On' produkcijski je mali film s hvalevrijedno velikim ambicijama, obećavajući prvijenac autora od kojeg se može očekivati vrlo zanimljiva karijera."

Mladen Šagovac, moj-film.hr

"Jedna lasta ne čini proljeće ali da ima nade za hrvatski film posve je jasno nakon filma Nevija Marasovića. Apokaliptična SF drama koja kombinira moderno reality show društvo i kataklizmu svjetskog sukoba izgleda obećavajuće za hrvatsku kino publiku."

Janko Heidl, filmovi.hr

"Iako mu manjka fine razrade načetih tema, odnosa i dramskih rukavaca, The Show Must Go On iznimno upečatljivo hvata kadrove Zagreba budućnosti u Zagrebu sadašnjosti (ravnatelj filmske fotografije Damir Kudin, scenografkinja Nina Petrović), snažno (iako prekratko) odzvanja u predočavanju ugođaja usporednosti ratnih strahota (bombe padaju na Zagreb) s prividnim nastavkom neobvezne svakodnevne rutine (Zagrepčani ne odustaju od sjedenja u kafiću), a osobito zadivljuje prvorazrednim računalnim efektima (npr. ratni prizori s eksplozijama i desecima helikoptera) Tomislava Vujnovića i Aleksandra Faragune koji ni mrvicu ne zaostaju za onime što imamo prigodu vidjeti u najnovijim holivudskim filmovima."

Igor Mirković, redatelj

"Kada su me zvali da izgovorim nekoliko replika u filmu "The Show Must Go On", mislio sam da idem u studentski film. Kada su mi rekli da je to zapravo futuristicki no-budget super-spektakl s gomiletinom specijalnih efekata i animacija, ideja mi se učinila suludom. Kad sam vidio konačni rezultat, shvatio sam da je sve ispalo još mnogo luđe i ambicioznije nego li su najavljivali. Da skratim: premda mi je ovaj film jos jednom ukazao da na svijetu ima puno boljih glumaca od mene, ponosan sam što je mojih nekoliko replika dio jednog od najzanimljivijih debija koji se hrvatskom fimu ikada dogodio."

Gordana Vnuk, umjetnička ravnateljica Eurokaza

"The Show Must Go On je doista osvježenje u našoj filmskoj produkciji. Svojom montažom, brzim ritmom, originalnom pričom i maštovitošću daje dojam kao da se u dosadnjikav i pretenciozan repertoar hrvatskih filmova spustio "vanzemaljac". Nevio Marasović je iznimno talentiran. Jedva čekam njegov sljedeći projekt."

Danilo Šerbedžija, redatelj

"Film Nevia Marasovića "The Show Must Go On" je za mene jedan od svjetlijih momenata novijeg hrvatskog filma. Ući u SF žrvanj s budžetom od 0 kuna mogu samo najhrabriji, a kad je to još pritom redatelju prvi film, u meni izaziva strahopoštovanje. Nevio je uspio napraviti vrlo kvalitetan SF film, napet, brz, pun odličnih efekata, a opet koji nosi i određenu poruku i kritiku današnjeg društva prepunog jeftinog senzacionalizma."

Siniša Mareković, karikaturist

"Dragi prijatelji, pripremite se na iznenađenje - dobili smo domaći filmski hit! Da, da... Gore napisano nije oksimoron. Film "The Show Must Go On" okrenut će vas naglavačke i potpuno vam promijeniti percepciju pojma "domaći film". Radi se o napetom i modernom, punokrvnom blockbusteru u kojem nema razgovora o socijali, ratu, drogi i ostalim teškim temama zbog kojih su domaći filmovi u zadnjih 20-ak godina prešli iz domene komercijalnih u sferu alternativnih projekata koji se snimaju zbog kritike, a ne zbog publike. Ova akcijska SF drama, za koju ćete pomisliti da je izašla iz ruku Jamesa Camerona, a ne jednog skromnog i briljantnog domaćeg redatelja Nevia Marasovića, budi nadu da domaća filmska produkcija ima svijetlu budućnost i da su među nama filmaši zbog kojih ćemo jednog dana ponovno čekati u redovima kako bi pogledali neki domaći filmski uradak, ako nijedan drugi onda barem onaj koji će režirati Nevio. Bravo ekipa!"

Prikazivanje
Film je premijeru doživio na 57. Pulskom film festivalu koji je i otvorio.

Kao hrvatsku premijeru navodi se prikazivanje filma u Splitu 26. travnja 2011. iako je film već imao dvodnevno prikazivanje u Zagrebu na reviji svjetske i europske kinematografije, Filmomanija.

Film je dan nakon premijere na Pula film festivalu bio 24 sata u MaxTV videoteci.

Film 28. travnja kreće u redovnu kino-distribuciju u Cinestar, Cineplexx i Movieplex kinima diljem Hrvatske.

Zanimljivosti
 Redatelj Nevio Marasović scenarij za film napisao je još 2003. godine kao diplomski rad, ali ga je na nagovor profesora Brune Gamulina pretvorio u scenarij za dugometražni film.

 Film je sniman bez potpore HAVC-a i cijela filmska ekipa radila je besplatno. Sve troškove rješavala je produkcijska kuća Copycat d.o.o. koja je u vlasništvu redatelja, a koproducentske kuće bile su Vizije SFT d.o.o.(za posebne efekte) i Pink Noiz d.o.o. (za zvuk).

 Prvi je hrvatski film s isključivo digitalnom distribucijom u Hrvatskoj, a usto ima i najšire otvaranje domaćeg filma u posljednjih 20 godina.

Name Dropping
Remembering the Raisin
Photos from March, 2006.
Kalamazoo may have been known across the world as the "Paper City," but according to a book by Dard Hunter, Michigan's paper industry actually began in Monroe County when its first paper mill was erected at Raisinville in 1834, under the name River Raisin Paper Co.
According to the city of Monroe's website the paper industry flourished rather well in the area for a long time, making such products as cardboard boxes, newsprint, wrapping paper, binder cardboard, liner board, fiber board, cereal cartons, recycled fiber; and (most recently) roofing shingles.
Other paper mills listed on the city website as having been sited in Monroe County included: Monroe Paper Company (c.1866), Lake Erie Pulp and Paper Company (early 1880s), Richardson Paper Company, Waldorf Paper Mill (c.1888), Monroe Folding Box Company (c.1903), Monroe Binder Board Company (c.1906), River Raisin Paper Company (c.1911), Monroe Corrugated Box Company (c.1917), Monroe Paper Products Company (c.1921), Consolidated Paper Company (c.1921), Ace Paper Products Company (c.1953), Jefferson Smurfitt Corporation (c.1982), and IKO Monroe Incorporated (c.2000).
We had known about this abandoned paper mill down in Monroe for several years, but a disastrous fire in 2004 led me to assume that there was nothing left to drive all the way down there to see, so I never bothered until 2006 when I learned that the huge powerhouse and a couple other small structures were still standing. My partner had been there before the fire and reported that the mill was really something to behold before it was mostly torn down.
Like that first paper mill built in 1834, this abandoned plant was also once home to the River Raisin Paper Co., starting in 1910, but the site that it sits upon has a much deeper history, going back to an infamous battle during the darkest days of the War of 1812, known as the River Raisin Massacre.
Some British troops were occupying the village of Frenchtown at the time, which was an old farming settlement dating back to the French colonial days in the 1700s. While American troops under General James Winchester were marching into the area as part of a campaign to retake the recently captured Fort Detroit, the villagers of Frenchtown sent a letter to him begging to dislodge the British occupation from their town.
Against orders, Gen. Winchester decided to oblige. His attack struck swift and hard, and drove the British out into the woods as far as Brownstown. This was known as the Battle of Frenchtown.
The American troops then set up camp within the newly freed village, but the British struck back a couple days later with a stronger force in a surprise attack. The American forces only totaled 934 regulars and militiamen mostly called up from Kentucky and Ohio. They faced 597 British and 800 Potawatomi or Wyandot Indians, as well as six cannon. The Americans were caught off-guard, and quickly surrounded.
Despite having no artillery they repelled several charges from the British lines, but were eventually driven back to the river. In the retreat, the American troops were almost wiped out, and those who laid down their arms in formal surrender were betrayed; first they were robbed and then the Indians and British began slaughtering them rather than take them captive.
Only 33 American soldiers escaped the massacre, by removing their shoes as they ran through the woods, so as to leave bare-footed tracks in the snow that looked more like those of Indians in order to throw their pursuers off their trail. The village of Frenchtown was sacked and burned, and the settlers were driven to either Detroit or Ohio.
According to the website of Monroe County, Frenchtown was a "desolate, nearly abandoned" settlement for eight months following the massacre, with American dead laying about, unburied. Even after the conclusion of the war it was left in an "impoverished" state of destruction for five years thenceforward.
The River Raisin Massacre was among the bloodiest engagements of the entire War of 1812, and inspired the battle cry "Remember the Raisin," which was used for the rest of the war.
The bicentennial of the War of 1812 was recently observed, from 2012 to 2015.
According to the Michigan Department of Labor's report for 1914, there were 106 employees of the River Raisin Paper Co., and seven work-related injuries reported that year. For 1917 they showed there to be just under 500 employees, and by the time 1920 rolled around there were 957 employees, 96 of whom were women.
This firebox was a Detroit Stoker, a company whose own plant was actually located directly across the river from us, at 1510 E. First Street.
Whereas every single industry seems to have (or have had) at least one trade periodical of its own, an article in the paper industry journal Shears for 1922 mentioned that a "strawboard mill" was just completed which gave River Raisin Paper a daily output capacity of 500 to 600 tons, which required "a workforce of 1,450 men." Clearly this enterprise was expanding by leaps and bounds.
An article in the Monroe News in 2011 quoted an interview with a descendant of River Raisin Paper's founders. He explained that the company even patented a type of waterproof tube used to protect ammunition during the Vietnam War.
"It was treated waterproof paper that was wrapped around the shell," he said, I imagine the reason being that the climate in Vietnam was found to be wetter and more harmful to metallic ammunition than any other theater of war the U.S. Army had ever operated in. River Raisin Paper also received the Army-Navy "E" Award in 1945, according to the article.
Another article in the Monroe News provides a timeline of the mill's history, noting that in 1957 it was acquired by the Union Bag-Camp Corp., and in 1986 Jefferson Smurfit took over operations.
This boiler was built at the Erie City Iron Works:
I didn't hear exactly when this mill ceased operations, but I believe it was in the 1990s, as that was when the River Raisin Battlefield National Historic Site was starting to take shape, as well as land deals to acquire more parts of the former battlefield that were on the paper mill grounds.
Apparently the corrugator plant was on part of the c.1780s settlement of Frenchtown where the massacre occurred, and in 1995 title to that land was deeded over to the city of Monroe.
In 1997 developer Roger Homrich purchased the mill site from Jefferson Smurfit for $500,000, "much to the chagrin of city officials who were hoping the paper company would donate the land to the city," according to the Monroe News.
Later, two archaeological investigations found traces of the fenceline that American troops fired from behind during the 1813 Battle of Frenchtown. Grant-funded archaeological work continued into the 2000s.
In 2002 Clean Michigan Initiative funds were used to begin demolition on part of the mill and clean up contaminated soil. A year later state-owned land near Otter Creek was given to Mr. Homrich with the understanding that he would donate the mill property he held to the city, and demolish the dilapidated buildings.
In the distance, the cooling towers of the Fermi II nuclear power plant could be seen:
In 2004 the state announced they would spend $1 million in grants to demolish rest of the paperboard plant site. As you can see it was still standing in 2006, but that's because the demolition was carried out in multiple stages, and there were multiple parcels that needed to be cleared and transferred.
The other Monroe landmark chimneys:
At the end of 2005, Monroe officials announced an agreement with Mr. Homrich, in which much of the land would be donated for public use, and in the following spring Mr. Homrich signed the paper plant land over to the city. The historical society paid Homrich $325,000 for the mill's pumphouse and offices.
That was still not all however. In July of 2007, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality approved another $1 million loan to complete demolition and site cleanup.
The skew arches over these old windows give a clue as to the true age of this particular building:
Down in the bowels of the plant, this was the base of the smokestack, with barely any light filtering down in:
Up in the clerestory (if I may call it that), was this coal conveyor that fed the boilers from above:
Out in the surrounding debris fields were still many remnants of the buildings that had lately been torn down.
This relic had clearly been sitting around for quite some time:
It began to get dark, and as we were about to start leaving we came across a large building foundation that we could actually walk into the basement of via a loading ramp. Inside there were still racks and racks of what were essentially giant rubber stamps used to print logos on paper products, such as beer crates. They were like big rubber mats with a reversed logo in the middle, which I presume was wrapped around some kind of roller that spun over the beer crates as they moved down the line.
I assumed it was beer crates that were being made, because most of the logo stamps were of beer brands. It was too dark to take photos by this time, but I did steal rescue one. I sorted through the whole rack to find a Stroh's stamp, but I never did. So I took a Pfeiffer Beer one instead, figuring that was even more obscure Detroit brew:
Since Pfeiffer's hasn't been sold since, uh, the 1970s, I can't imagine how they still had a Pfeiffer's stamp just sitting around, but there you have it.
If I recall correctly, these two massive pieces of equipment were inline 16-cylinder engines (and yes that's a person standing up there).

The stamp is actually a plate for printing and box making presses. You are correct in your assumption of the stamping process, but I think it is more likely it was cardboard boxes. Typically the plates (rubber stamps) are kept as it is very easy to store large quantities and somewhat expensive to replace without a template to compare.
Worst year of my life working in a box plant. At least I learned something.

Fearless Friday: Ashley Fernandez, Christina L. Bassler
This week, SURGE is delighted to honor Ashley Fernandez '16 for Fearless Friday!
Ashley is a senior at Gettysburg and is majoring in Political Science and Public Policy. When asked where she's from, Ashley usually responds "Manhattan." When most people think of Manhattan, they think of Times Square or the Empire State Building. Ashley, however, clarifies she's from an area of Manhattan called Washington Heights, or "Little Dominican Republic," which is named as such for it's large Latino community. A Latina herself, Ashley definitely felt the change between Little DR and Gettysburg College. At predominantly white college ...

I'M Poor, You're Rich, Darren E. Spirk
It started in ESL class when I haphazardly threw around one of my new Spanish phrases. "Dame tu dinero," I joked to Maria*, one of the adult students I was teaching. She playfully responded back, "I can't. I'm poor." I laughed and nodded in agreement: "Yeah, me too." This became a sticking point for her, however, as she kept telling me, "No, I'm poor. You're rich." I remained adamant that I wasn't rich, offering as a closing point to our lighthearted interaction, "OK, we're both poor," but I could tell that she remained skeptical ...
The Long Road: Eisenhower'S Inter-American Highway: The Path To Economic Investment, Political Stability, And Collective Security In Central America, Jacob A. Ross Apr 2015
The Long Road: Eisenhower'S Inter-American Highway: The Path To Economic Investment, Political Stability, And Collective Security In Central America, Jacob A. Ross
This paper explores the anti-communist Cold War tactics of public diplomacy as undertaken by the Eisenhower Administration. The focus of this paper is the Inter-American Highway: a program which the U.S. government funded and constructed to develop Central America economically, politically, and beyond. Funding for this program was increased and supported by the president because it fit the axiom of spending as little money as possible in the Cold War, but spending it in a way to be effective in the battle against Soviet communism. The stance of the U.S. government was to provide Central America with increased ...

The Shortcomings Of A "Diverse" College Campus, Chelsea E. Broe Aug 2013
The Shortcomings Of A "Diverse" College Campus, Chelsea E. Broe
"What is the diversity like at Gettysburg College?" As a tour guide, I get asked this question a lot. It's a tricky question to answer: On one hand, I know that this is probably the family's way of inquiring about race on campus without having to use such a taboo word, but on the other, my Diversity Peer Educator training chimes in and I want to challenge my questioner's assumptions about what diversity even means.

USTDA Launches Phase III of Smart Cities Partnership with India
(USTDA) VISAKHAPATNAM, India – This week, the U.S. Trade and Development Agency launched the third phase of support for Visakhapatnam's (Vizag) efforts to develop modern, efficient, and integrated urban infrastructure.
Since the partnership began, leaders in the State of Andhra Pradesh and the City of Vizag have worked closely with a U.S. company team led by AECOM, and supported by KPMG and IBM. This third and final phase will build on their progress by implementing five near-term infrastructure projects in the energy, transport, water, and emergency communications sectors. It will also bolster Vizag's capacity to sustainably implement smart city infrastructure projects. This phase will continue connecting U.S. companies to business opportunities in Vizag.
"We are all excited to watch Vizag continue its transformation moving forward," said Acting Director Enoh T. Ebong. "We appreciate the opportunity to continue collaborating with Vizag on its smart cities goals, and connecting the city to leading U.S. solutions."
During the grant signing ceremony at the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation, Collector Pravin Kumar remarked, "The seeds for the vision and the growth plan for Vizag have been laid very well. Thanks to the efforts of the U.S. consortium, we are now committed to take this to a full-scale implementation of making Vizag a clean commerce capital."
