Is OPEC good for Nigeria?
The recent OPEC decision to cut oil production is bound to raise the issue of Nigeria's commitment to the oil cartel once more. Critics have long argued that Abuja's stance in maintaining the rigid quotas enforced by the Vienna-based group is not always in the national interest.
The recent OPEC decision to cut oil production is bound to raise the issue of Nigeria's commitment to the oil cartel once more. Critics have long argued that Abuja's stance in maintaining the rigid quotas enforced by the Vienna-based group is not always in the national interest. In a land rich in hydrocarbons, yet where the majority of people live on less than a dollar a day, surely it is better to produce and sell as much oil as possible, they say.
In its end of September meeting, OPEC agreed to cut global crude oil output from 25.4mnb/d to 24.5mn b/d with effect from November in a bid to shore up prices. Nigeria's allocation was lowered accordingly from 2.092mn b/d down to 2.018mn b/d.
The quota system is already a major test of the Nigerian government's resolve.
Indeed, many question whether the country and its producers even adhere to the system, or at least as strictly as they claim. Foreign oil companies are understandably keen to raise output if they can. The decision to lower its OPEC share of output puts more pressure on President Olusegun Obasanjo and his fragile administration. Abuja has publicly expressed its commitment to OPEC, including the revised quota figures, yet there remain several key questions to be answered over the long term. It all takes place against a backdrop of rising oil production in the west African country and some ambitious growth targets set by Obasanjo himself. In just a few years, Nigerian oil production capacity is expected to reach 3mn b/d; by the end of the decade this figure is likely to be 4mn b/d. In this context, the 2mn b/d OPEC quota begins to look rather modest.
Production build-up
Nigeria's president has given his full support to develop the country's vast oil and gas resources in a bid to bolster national income. The oil sector is Nigeria's primary source of foreign exchange earnings and represents a major slice of the federal budget as well as attracting much needed foreign direct investment.
The aggressive exploration programme undertaken by many of the world's major oil corporations offshore Nigeria in the last few years has yielded a string of new world class discoveries. Most recently, an appraisal well on the deepwater Usan discovery in the OPL 222 block confirmed the presence of a further 300mn barrels of oil. Another appraisal well, 3.5km to the south of the Ukot discovery, underlined its potential.
As Nigeria's reserves position continues to swell, oil companies are focusing their efforts on development issues. The latest addition to the country's oil production portfolio is the Amenam/Kpono field, operated by Elf Petroleum Nigeria Limited, a subsidiary of Total. The French firm announced the start up of Amenam Kpono in July, which will have a peak capacity of 125,000b/d. The field is located 30km offshore in water depths of 40m and straddles two concession areas OML 99, operated by Elf Petroleum and OML 70, operated by Mobil Producing Nigeria, a subsidiary of the US's ExxonMobil. Other major developments are taking shape. Mobil Producing Nigeria has just awarded major contracts for its East Area Additional Oil Recovery initiative. The US $ 1.7bn project will re-inject gas to improve oil recovery from multiple reservoirs operated by the company as well as help to eliminate gas flaring. The development is expected to increase production by around 100,000b/d and ultimate recovery by more than 500mn barrels. The package of work includes gas gathering pipelines, gas compression, gas re-injection pipelines and associated facilities. The project is located about 32km offshore in water depths of 26-34m while start up is scheduled for 2006.
State oil company Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation has also finally reached agreement with ChevronTexaco subsidiary. Star Deep Water Petroleum Ltd, and its partners Famfa Oil and Petrobras, on how to proceed with the giant Agbami field in OPL 216. The American company is now targeting peak production from the field of 250,000b/d with first oil sometime in 2007. The Agbami field ranks among the largest single discoveries in deepwater west Africa, with a structure spanning an area of 45,000 acres, that straddles OPL 216 and OPL 217. The initial discovery was announced at the beginning of 1999. Mobil Producing's current Nigerian oil production totals 750,000b/d, up from 520,000b/d in at the start of 2002.
The Nigerian offshore has been a rich source of discoveries for many of the multinational oil giants in the last few years, with exploration efforts supported by improved investment terms and conditions from Abuja. Other big offshore development projects underway include Royal Dutch Shell's Bonga field and ExxonMobil's Yoho and Erha fields. The build-up of production offshore Nigeria, and enhanced recovery from existing onshore fields, means Nigeria could struggle to adhere to the OPEC quota system in the coming decade. Although the country's quota is likely to rise - in line with the increased demand for oil as world economic growth influences consumption levels - it is unlikely to keep up with the electric pace of capacity expansion. At least part of the answer could lie at home with the development of new refineries and petrochemicals facilities to add value to the country's crude oil output. The government continues to flirt with the involvement of the private sector in the major refineries and also the establishment of new small-scale facilities. The creation of a viable local market for oil products is critical. A 12 per cent fuel price hike at the beginning of October was greeted with the customary howls of protest from Nigerians - not surprising given that no explanation was given by the authorities - yet this is what must take place to make the sector more attractive to investors. The reduction of federal subsidies, forcing up the price of petrol at the pump, also eases certain budgetary pressures for the government.
The development of Nigeria's extensive natural gas reserves could also present a long-term solution. With oil sales constrained under OPEC, Nigeria will still be free to maximise revenues from its gas sector, currently in its infancy, but growing fast.
Nigeria is the main driver behind flagship schemes such as the west African Gas Pipeline project, that will supply gas throughout the sub- region, and the proposed trans-Sahara link to Algeria, to export gas into Europe. There are also plans to create a viable domestic market for gas starting with large-scale industrial consumers and then moving into households. The power sector is leading the transition to using natural gas as a feedstock.
At the moment, Nigeria's gas exports are based squarely on liquefied natural gas (LNG), Nigeria LNG - a joint venture owned by NNPC, Shell Gas, Total LNG Nigeria and Italy's - commenced operations in 1999 and has built up a solid track record for reliable deliveries to Europe.
The reality of Nigeria LNG's sixth train expansion project is getting closer, after Total Gas and Power Limited signed up as a new base customer. The French company has agreed to take 1.2bn cubic metres a year (bcm/yr) when the plant commences operations for deliveries in both Europe and the US. In August, Endesa of Spain signed a similar sale and purchase agreement to take one bcm/yr at terminals in Huelva and Cartegena.
Although Nigeria LNG is still to take the final investment decision on the Train 6 expansion it seems increasingly likely that it will get the go ahead after receiving such strong support from the market. It means the Train 6 project, which would raise NLNG's total capacity by four million tonnes and by up to half a million tonnes per annum of liquefied petroleum gas, is now more than half subscribed.
It is currently engaged in building the fourth and fifth train expansion after securing outlets in Europe and the US. On completion of the Train 6 project, assuming it gets the go ahead. NLNG's overall production capacity will rise to 22mn tonnes of LNG per annum and four million tonnes of Natural Gas Liquids per annum. NLNG commenced operations in 1999 with a capacity of 5.9mn tonnes from two trains. A third train was added last November.
Other international companies are keen to tap into the success of the Nigeria LNG plant on Bonny Island. A number of international groups are developing their own projects to sell LNG to the Atlantic Basin market, essentially Europe and North America. ExxonMobil is leading the West Niger Delta LNG initiative, which also groups ChevronTexaco and ConocoPhillips. The plant could be operational by 2005.
With these large investment projects in the pipeline, it would seem the country is well positioned as a major player in the energy industry. However, the country also needs to further diversify its portfolio (where oil and gas account for 80% of the state budget). Because of this energy dependency, the Nigerian economy and its people will continue to suffer when OPEC arrives with bad news.

SCA Kindergarten Student Places in State Wrestling Tournament
SCA Kindergarten student Scotttie Cutbirth, Jr. learns valuable life lessons with his family as he excels in the sport of wrestling and is fierce on the mat as he takes 4th at the Missouri USA Wrestling Tournament.
Summit Christian Academy (SCA) kindergartener Scottie Cutbirth Jr. recently placed 4th in the 6U division at the Missouri USA Wrestling Tournament. He has won three championship medals this year and also recently won the Lee's Summit North Tournament without giving up a single point.
Scottie began his involvement in wrestling at the age of four, following in his father's footsteps as the passion for the sport runs in his family- his Dad Scott Cutbirth grew up wrestling as well. Dad and son spent time watching wrestling tournaments on TV even when Scottie was an infant.
"Wrestling has helped shape Scottie's respect of authority, work ethic, pride, and who he is as a person," said Scottie's dad, Scott Cutbirth. "The sport takes a lot of hard work and determination and dates back to the story of Jacob in the Bible, who wrestled with God. We hope that the sport of wrestling can help lead people to Christ."
SCA looks forward to the year that Scottie can join their excelling High School Wrestling program. Scottie is a member of Glory Wrestling Club in Lee's Summit and is the first member of their program to place at the state tournament.

Q: Add a custom column to My Account Orders table in Woocommerce 3+ Woocommerce 3.5.x has a special page at the user account (My Account) area where it displays the user's previous Orders.
This page is now 5 column displays as default.
Here the screenshot of the woocommerce Orders area with 5 column:
My Orders
I Can't find the way to change this.
How can I add a new column in the default?

A: This requires 2 functions that will add a new column
The second function hook is a composite hook: woocommerce_my_account_my_orders_column_{$column_id} where {$column_id} need to be replaced by the column key slug that is set in the first function.
That second function manage the displayed row values and you can add for example a custom field to get custom order meta data values.
The code:
add_filter( 'woocommerce_account_orders_columns', 'add_account_orders_column', 10, 1 );
function add_account_orders_column( $columns ){
    $columns['custom-column'] = __( 'New Column', 'woocommerce' );

    return $columns;
}

add_action( 'woocommerce_my_account_my_orders_column_custom-column', 'add_account_orders_column_rows' );
function add_account_orders_column_rows( $order ) {
    // Example with a custom field
    if ( $value = $order->get_meta( '_custom_field' ) ) {
        echo esc_html( $value );
    }
}

Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or active theme). Tested and works.

You are done and have added a custom column to My account orders table:

If you which to make changes in the table html output, you will have to override the template file: myaccount/orders.php

A: If you don't wanna change the order template under myaccount page. Here's what you have to do.
First:
function wc_add_myaccount_order_column( $columns ) {
    $columns[ 'custom-column' ] = __( 'Custom Column', 'woocommerce' );
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_my_account_my_orders_columns', 'wc_add_myaccount_order_column' );

Second:
function wc_custom_column_display( $order ) {
    // do something here
    echo "testing";
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_my_account_my_orders_column_custom-column', 'wc_custom_column_display' );

The code above will display "testing" in each order under "Custom Column" column.
Note: If you actually wanna change the entire template, like the design for example. You can follow the first answer above.

A: Just to improve the accepted answer I add a line to choose the position of the column (after total):
function sv_wc_add_my_account_orders_column( $columns ) {

    $new_columns = array();

    foreach ( $columns as $key => $name ) {

        $new_columns[ $key ] = $name;

        // add ship-to after order status column
        if ( 'order-total' === $key ) {  //this is the line!
            $new_columns['custom-column'] = __( 'Custom Column', 'woocommerce' );
        }
    }

    return $new_columns;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_my_account_my_orders_columns', 'sv_wc_add_my_account_orders_column' );

    function wc_custom_column_display( $order ) {
        // do something here
        echo "testing";
    }
    add_action( 'woocommerce_my_account_my_orders_column_custom-column', 'wc_custom_column_display' );

A: With WooCommerce 5.9, I couldn't get LiocTheAztect's answer to work. What worked for me was:
add_filter( 'woocommerce_account_orders_columns',
'add_customer_email_column');
    function add_customer_email_column( $columns ){
        $new_columns = [
        "order-number" => $columns["order-number"],
        // ...
        "customer-email" => __( 'Customer Email', '' ),
        // ...
        "order-actions" => $columns["order-actions"]
    ];
    return $new_columns;
}

add_action( 'woocommerce_my_account_my_orders_column_customer-email',
'add_customer_email_content' );
    function add_customer_email_content($order) {
    echo esc_html($order->get_billing_email());
}

Without the if ($value = $order->get_meta( '_custom_field' )) block. Hope it helps.

For the past several months, I have been planning a trip to Somaliland. Why? In 2014, I had the good fortune of meeting Dr. Edna Adan the founder of the Edna Adan Maternity Hospital when she was in Philadelphia to received an honorary doctorate degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing .
Somaliland has one of the worst maternal mortality rates in the world. Additionally it is a country where the majority of young girls are subjected to female genital mutilation. It is Dr. Adan's goal to teach and train midwives to provide the much needed patient education and medical care. She needs our help.
I am travelling to Somaliland tomorrow. The events of this past weekend have raised concerns among my family and friends, as Somaliland is considered a part of Somalia by the US government. And Somalia is one of the seven countries which President Trump has banned refugees, immigrants and visitors from entering the US.
As someone who was borned in the US and has a US passport, I anticipate that I will be detained, questioned and eventually allowed re-entry into the US. Throughout this journey, I ask for your prayers. And I thank you for your support.

The high price of living next door to Donald Trump in L.A.: $30 million
A Beverly Hills home that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump sold for a loss in 2009 is up for sale in Beverly Hills for $29.995 million.
(Marc & Tiffany Angeles | Inset: Los Angeles Times)
By Neal J. Leitereg
What do you get the Donald Trump supporter who seemingly has everything? This home in Beverly Hills might be a good place to start.
Listed for sale at $29.995 million, the Greek Revival-inspired mansion on North Rodeo Drive was flipped by Trump at a loss seven years ago and also happens to border a neighboring property owned by the Republican presidential nominee.
Trump bought the home in 2008 for $10.35 million and, a year later, took a slight haircut on the property: Records show it sold in 2009 for $9,500,095. Prior to that, it had been owned for decades by Omar Bongo, the former President of Gabon who died in office in 2009.
Hot Property | Donald Trump (Marc & Tiffany Angeles)
Built in 1981, the grand two-story has a symmetrical, wide front lined with a row of slender columns. Bay windows flanked by green-hued shutters span the length of the exterior, while a decorative pediment creates visual interest above double front doors.
Inside, some 15,000 square feet of polished space boasts a chandelier-topped, marble-lined foyer that opens on one side to a formal living room and, on the other, a formal dining room.
Other common rooms include an office/den, an all-white kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a separate prep kitchen, a sauna and an elevator. The master suite features a spa-like bath dressed in granite and Greek marble for a total of 11 bedrooms and 10.5 bathrooms.
Sets of French doors open off the main level to a long loggia that overlooks the swimming pool. A tennis/basketball court completes the fenced and gated setting.
Paul Margolis and Yvette Pozzato of Compass hold the listing.
As for Trump's current digs, he's owned the house next door since 2007, when he paid $7 million for the property that year. Tucked behind gates and tall privacy hedges, the more than half-acre estate has 16 rooms, including five bedrooms and six bathrooms, in 5,395 square feet, according to tax records.
A swimming pool lies within the grounds.

Current Research on Astrobiology
What Happening In The Field Of Astrobiology?
Ever since early humans first looked skyward and imagined the stars as distant campfires, humanity has wondered if we are alone in the Universe. The ancient Greeks argued against our home planet being the only cradle for life, but lacked the technology to prove their beliefs. In the late 20th century, the near-simultaneous discoveries of the possible remains of bacterial life in a Martian meteorite, and the first planets orbiting other stars, brought the question of the existence of life beyond the Earth to the forefront of scientific endeavor
While astrobiology is a relatively young field, it has a secure and promising future. Astrobiology research has a significant impact on how agencies such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the European Space Agency plan for current and future space missions. For example, many recent missions have focused on exploring worlds in our own solar system for signs of past, present or the precursors of life, including Mars (Phoenix , Pathfinder , Global Surveyor, and others) and Titan (Cassini-Huygens). At the same time, significant advances and investments in telescope technology (Kepler, James Webb Space Telescope) have allowed researchers to begin planning and searching for habitable planets outside our solar system.
In the United States, NASA and the NASA Astrobiology Institute (NAI) are leading policy makers and funders in astrobiology. An overview of the research goals and objectives they have articulated can be found in the NASA Astrobiology Roadmap. Internationally, astrobiology networks and institutes have been established in Europe, Australia, Canada, Mexico and South America, including the Centro de Astrobiologia in Spain, the Nordic Network of Astrobiology Graduate Schools, and the Australian Center for Astrobiology.

What's in a name? Everything, even when it wasn't what you intended.
I arrived at the name of this website (and by extension, business) by circumstance. The circumstance was that I did not want to use my name, and that I couldn't find a domain name that included the word "business" that didn't cost thousands of dollars. (Don't even get me started on how people buy domains and then sit on them…who can afford to pay $5600 for a domain with the word "business" in it?) And I really didn't want to make up a name that was too clever or completely irrelevant and no one would know what I was talking about.
This article is the second in a three-part series about business assessments and the importance of getting objective feedback on your business. My first article, The First Order of Business: Why Great Organizations Rely on Objective Feedback, can be found here.
Whether we are conscious of the fact or not, we are constantly assessing the world around us: things, people, places, situations.
This article is the first in a three-part series about business assessments and the importance of getting objective feedback on your business.
Opinions are like elbows: Everybody has one. Therefore it's generally a good idea to follow my grandfather's motto: "I'm entitled to my opinion, and you're entitled to ignore it." But to decide to ignore it, you first need to hear it.
I am an entrepreneur who loves establishing and growing businesses, and even I can be completely and utterly overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information that is available on the Interwebs. Talking with peers and clients, I quickly realized that I wasn't the only one.
Every webinar claimed to be THE solution to what I needed to grow my business or (ironically) eliminate overwhelm. Business coaches—many with no business experience—promised to support me and help me with my money mindset, strategy or other solutions.
Resources on what to do and how to do it piled up until my browser tabs were too small to read, and my hard drive was filled up with oodles of free books, checklists and guidelines.
The only thing that was for certain was that I felt like I had no clue where to start and, frankly, no money left to spend on all these Latest and Greatest.

Career counseling from the Businesslady
In her new book, Courtney C. W. Guerra, AB'05, offers witty work advice.
Susie Allen, AB'09
For two years Courtney C. W. Guerra, AB'05, juggled a secret identity. By day Guerra worked as the senior writer for grants and fellowships in the Division of the Humanities at UChicago. By night she was the witty, anonymous voice of the Dear Businesslady workplace advice column for the now-defunct website the Toast. (Guerra now answers questions on the financial advice website the Billfold.) Guerra blew her own cover with Is This Working? The Businesslady's Guide to Getting What You Want from Your Career (Adams Media, 2017), a book drawing on the "Dear Businesslady" column but published under her real name.
The book offers practical tips on landing a job ("For the love of any and all higher powers, do NOT try to participate in a phone interview while doing anything else") and guidance on navigating thorny interpersonal issues at work ("You can fantasize about delivering a scathing monologue to your boss and then storming out as the office explodes behind you, but you can't actually do that, … at least not in the real world, where people live").
For Is This Working?, Guerra pulled from her own winding career path. Throughout college she told people she planned to become a teacher, "mainly because that was a really good way of shutting people down when they [asked], 'Why are you majoring in English?'" After graduation she worked as an executive assistant, then transitioned to grant writing, a job she hadn't known about in school. Guerra spoke to the Magazine about how her Businesslady alter ego has changed her approach to her own work, when to keep a less-than-perfect job, and why writing an advice column is like editing. Her comments have been condensed and edited.
Why "businesslady"?
Back when it was a column, I wanted it to be anonymous, partly because there's a long tradition of anonymous advice columns. And "businesslady" is a word I've always found funny. My mom thinks it's hilarious, which I love. I wanted to signal that I was a woman since the Toast had a very strong female perspective. I wanted to let people have a little sliver of who I was as a person. I don't work in a corporate business, so there's a way in which it's a bit of a misnomer, but it gets the point across.
Did writing the Businesslady column make you approach your own work differently?
I have always tried to approach my work in a way that's kind to my colleagues and responsible. But there was certainly an added pressure. If I totally screwed something up or started behaving unprofessionally, that would be so off-brand. There's a kind of "physician, heal thyself" quality that has started to creep into my mindset. It helped me to think of all problems or situations as having solutions. So if I was feeling frustrated I could take a step back, like, "If I got a letter that had these components, what would I say?" and, OK, maybe I should just do that.
Your book is coming out at a time when there's so much anxiety about work and the future of work. Did you think about that as you were writing?
As soon as the column actually took off, there was a feeling of, I don't want to steer people in the wrong direction and mess up their actual lives. As much as I want people to find jobs that they enjoy and find satisfying and challenging, jobs are also the mechanism by which people can feed themselves and pay for their shelter. I try to emphasize the fact that there's a huge set of considerations you have to factor in when you're making any kind of professional decision. So if you have a robust savings account and you really want to make a move and take a big risk and it's a lifelong dream, then go for it. But if it's just that your job isn't as fun as it could be, why not just keep doing your less-than-great job for a little while and use your spare time to send out résumés and pursue other opportunities? You never know how long it'll be until you have a job again. For most people, I think a not-great job is better than no job.
How has your background shaped the advice you give?
Overall my perspective is informed by the fact that I do so much editing. When you're editing, you sometimes change a sentence and say, "This is better," but usually, if you're working with the writer, you want to also explain why. Similarly, as a writer, sometimes an editor will offer an alternative and you'll say, "Oh God, not that, that's so much worse." But the process helps you realize what it was that you were hoping the sentence would do in the first place and brings you to the point where you can fix the sentence and feel satisfied with it. I approach a lot of the advice in the same way: well, this is what I would do because of this thought process. And even if someone doesn't share that thought process or thinks that it's wrong, hopefully it gives them an opportunity to reframe their own decision making in a way that helps them feel confident in whatever they do end up doing.

Saloon Girls of the Wild West
Saloon girls kept the men happy and at the bar.
By Amy Lillard
It's no secret that Queen Victoria's habits and manners influenced a generation. So much so that we call it the Victorian Age. From clothing to wedding traditions, she touched more than England. The eastern states were equally affected. But the Wild West? That was another matter.
To the westward pioneer, a great deal of these Victorian practices were just not practical and were quickly dropped. Consequently, the west took on a shape of its own.
Rowdy frontier towns gave rise to rowdy frontier saloons which in turn gave us the saloon girl.
I'll be honest and tell you that I stumbled across this topic a little on accident. I was working on a story idea to submit to my publisher and wanted to make sure the term I was using to describe my character was correct. I'd used the term "saloon girl," but was thinking more of a Gunsmoke-Miss Kitty type. What I found was that there was a great deal of difference between the saloon girl and the prostitute of the Old West.
The saloon girl had many different names. The 49ers in California called them "ladies of the line" or "sporting women." Cowboys called them "soiled doves." Kansas trailers knew them by many names, "daughters of sin," "fallen frails," "doves of the roost," and "nymphs du prairie." Still others referred to the saloon girls as "scarlet ladies," fallen angels," "frail sisters," "fair belles," and "painted cats," to name a few.
But they were all the same: saloon girls.
Now, east of the Mississippi River, women didn't go in saloons, but the west was different. To the "proper" woman, there were two kinds of improper ones: saloon girls and prostitutes. And to this "proper" miss, these were lumped together and considered a necessary evil.
But to saloon girls, what they did was vastly different than the prostitutes. Only in the roughest of saloons were the ''girls" and prostitutes one and the same. Otherwise, saloon girls held themselves higher than the prostitutes and wouldn't be caught dead associating with one.
So what exactly was a saloon girl? They were workers, hired by the saloon to entertain the lonely men. And men in the West tended to be lonely. They outnumbered the women three to one in most places. In California in the mid-1800s, the population was ninety percent male! The saloon girls' job was to dance with the men. They sang to them, talked to them, and otherwise kept them in the saloon buying drinks and playing games.
Most of the girls had come west from farms and mills seeking a better life, the opportunities that the West had to offer. A great deal of them were widows who, without a husband to support them, had to work for a living. Unfortunately, the Victorian Age didn't offer a great deal of employment opportunities for women. In fact, the men of culture acted like women were brainless. The only legitimate opportunities for a woman's employment were cooking, cleaning, or washing clothes, all backbreaking work.
That's not to say that being a saloon girl was easy. A high probability of a violent death was a certain job hazard. Most of the ladies carried small pistols or daggers to protect themselves from overzealous patrons.
The girls were encouraged to dance with the men, then get the men to buy them drinks. The men would pay regular price for the ladies' drinks though the women would secretly be served cold tea or colored water. (A practice my deputy husband tells me is still in use today. Who knew?) The girls got a commission off the drinks and a set salary for the week. They were also discouraged from spending too much time with one patron as the saloon owners lost a lot of employees to marriage.
As I mentioned, the saloon girls were there to dance with the men. Dancing usually started at eight or so in the evening. Each "turn" lasted about fifteen minutes and a popular girl could average as many as fifty dances a night. Often times they could make more a night than a working man could make in a month. Because of this, it was rare for them to double as a prostitute. In fact, many ladies of ill repute found they could make more money as a dance hall girl.
Most saloon girls were considered "good" women by the men. And in most places the women were treated as "ladies." True, Western men tended to hold all women in high regard, but the saloon girls and/or the saloon keeper demanded the respect. Any man who mistreated one of these women was quickly deemed an outcast. If he insulted one, he would most likely be shot and killed.
I think we've all seen the picture of a dance hall girl, with her brightly-colored, ruffled dress ending at her knees (scandalous!) and her painted face. Yet with as many westerns as I watched with my dad as I was growing up, I never picked up on the distinction between dance hall girls and ladies of the night.
So what say you? Miss Kitty…saloon girl or not?

What an interesting post, Amy. I wasn't aware of the distinction between saloon girls and prostitutes. It makes sense now that you've got me thinking about it. A group of woman working the crowd would be able to make a lot more money than a handful of soiled doves secreted in the saloon's upstairs rooms.
Thanks, Keli. I found it intriguing as well. Just never really thought about it until I was "synopsizing" a new series idea. :)
Sandy Sieber January 26, 2015 at 9:47 AM
My husband and I have been watching the Gunsmoke series lately, and I have wondered many times about the way they portray Miss Kitty. According to your article, she would have been a saloon girl. She also could have made enough money to be part buyer of the saloon like they portray in the show.
I'm really enjoying these history posts!
I really never knew what these women went threw and how they lived
Vickie McDonough January 26, 2015 at 10:53 AM
Even though many of them made good money, it sure was a rough life. And then they were often looked down on by the "good" people of town, as you mentioned. Thanks for the interesting post!
Margaret Brownley January 26, 2015 at 1:28 PM
I did know the difference between saloon girl and soiled dove, but only because of the research I had to do for Waiting for Morning. My heroine was a former saloon girl. Had I read your post before I wrote the book it would have saved me a lot of time. :) As for Miss Kitty...actually in the early shows she was very definitely a prostitute. I remember seeing her emerge from the second floor with the marshal. However, she was toned down in later episodes and became more of a businesswoman or saloon girl.
Margaret, you got it right. Gunsmoke was a radio program before it went to TV. Miss Kitty was very definitely, though also subtly a prostitute. It was after the first season that they made her more of a business woman. In fact, she was part owner of the Longbranch. Thanks everyone!

Never knew there was a difference before. Will pay attention to this in movies now! sm. Wileygreen1(at)yahoo(dot)com

Great post, Amy. I was vaguely aware of the difference, but never really researched it to know the depth of the difference. I had a character once who forced his daughter into prostitution at the saloon and made a deal with the owner for part of her earnings. All the different terms are really interesting. Putting those down for future reference. Thanks.
I'm just now getting around to reading this. What an interesting post! I'm like Martha -- vaguely aware, but really hadn't made the distinction. Love learning all these tidbits of history! I too will pay more attention to western movies now.

Thank you for this very informative post! Although it is not my usual genre, I decided to try my hand at a western type story, and I was also trying to get ideas for a name for a "Miss Kitty" type character, and found your post. In all the years I have watched "Gunsmoke", I wasn't aware of the difference either between the "soiled doves" and the "saloon girls". Thanks again!
I would love to know if anyone knows the name of the dresses the saloon girls used to wear. The fancy ones. If they had a name.
somebodybody thought miss kitty was a hooker? lol and matt dillion was her pimp
Miss Kitty was a Madam but her identity was kept secret because of television.
Miss Kitty was a Madam, but her identify was kept secret because of television. The facts can be found by researching the Gun Smoke radio show.
there called victorian style dresses
Thanks for this enlightening post, re: dance-hall girls, I am a long time history buff.

Thank you for the clarification that just because a girl worked in the film did not make her a prostitute or a hussy for floozy. My great aunt Lulu was a movie star silent movie star and she had a few parts and a sallon as and Entertainer or a saloon girl and many have your biographies say that she was a floozy. And 3 movies to wit Tom Mix I have seen photos of my Aunt Lulu and she's never dressed like the stereotype that we see women at Halloween dressing as a saloon girl with corsets can can skirts and such attite. In the movie fighting for gold she has on a long-sleeved white blouse up to her neck and a straight cut skirt. In The Terror movie she is wearing a robe in her dressing room and in desert greed she wears a dignified black dress and a very nice suit and although she is getting men to buy drinks and being flirtatious and so on I don't think the description of being a floozy especially when there were few movies and she was in that type of a role is an accurate description. I was wrestling with how to Express my feelings regarding this and you have put words into my mouth and in my mind I grew up thinking this Kitty was a very respected woman and I don't think that she was a prostitute or that her establishment was a brothel. You made some very interesting points and I'm very glad to have been able to find your clarification of The Stereotype not being very accurate that saloon girls were not all dressed like the French can-can girls and they were not all prostitutes and in fact they were respected thank you

You have to divide your study of the West in two;
Before the Railroad and After the RR.
BRR if you were west of the Mississippi you were by default fairly brave and physically tough, male or female. As the saying went - "The weakling died along the way and the coward never started."
The teller of stories would be hard put to find a deeper spring from which to draw their material. One could relate nothing but true tales of the men and women who peopled that era and be taken as a very imaginative fiction writer.
And I find I have opened a page I have not the time to finish, so, I will leave with this one admonition - Don't underestimate the women of the West, but, don't inflate them either.
They were people of like passions to yourself, just a different stage on which to act out their parts.


I believe most of you have heard about the advantages of using Thesis theme. I'm not sure about the current trend of using theme by the bloggers however I believe that Thesis theme is still one of the best options if you are looking for a theme that is flexible, user friendly and has amazing features to be explored.
Although using Thesis theme gives you a lot of advantages, you have to consider some of Thesis theme mistakes that you should avoid at any costs!
Yes, Thesis theme is very flexible and user-friendly but it never mean that using Thesis theme is easy! When you install Thesis theme on your site for the first time, you will see a default appearance – the dull one (for me). So it's time to modify the theme! In this case you have to apply your knowledge in HTML and PHP and some in FTP. Your site will not like *BOOM* and everything is there! No. Some people expressed their frustration as they mentioned that Thesis theme doesn't meet their expectation. Nope. I don't agree – because we are the one who shape the theme as we want!
I recommend hiring professional designer or getting interesting themes from sites which offering Thesis skins such as ThesisAwesome and Kolakube.
Before you start deploying Thesis theme on your site, do the testing mode first. You can do this using your localhost server. Design and modify the theme until you feel satisfied before you uploading it to your hosting. And don't forget to backup your blog database! These steps can prevent you from making fatal mistake that you might regret forever.
Sorry to say.. but for me this something unethical to be done. Why not getting Thesis theme through the legal way? The price is affordable and this theme is worth your money. I don't know the implication but who knows what will happen in the future? And we don't what type of script is hidden in the theme if you get it somewhere for free. So buy it from DIY Themes legally and if you want to make profit from it, promote the theme using the affiliate given by the creator.
What to say – Avoid these mistakes and enjoy your amazing moments with Thesis theme!

A sage can spend a fate point to get an auto success on any lore test. Does this include forbidden lore?
It's clearly written as "any Lore test", just don't forget that all Lore skills are specialist skills, so you can't use them at all if you're untrained.
OK are you sure his talent only applies to lore skills he has? I'm asking as the sage description seemed to imply he might know some little bit of data about things he wasn't fully trained in.
Here's a quote from the sage description.
Sages tend to know a little bit about everything; even if they have not studied the subject expansively, there is always a good chance that they have come across it in one of their other research endeavours.
Saying he knows a little bit about everything made me think his special rule about fate allowing him. A success on any lore test applied to all lore skills.
You can't roll skill test if it's specialist skill and you don't have this skill , and you can't use FP for impossible roll. Look at Recommended Advances at p.73 - why Sage would buy Lore skills if he can use them without training?
Well, because he can only get the auto success with a fate point and he may only have 3 of them and he may want to save them to survive in combat.

The drains in your home ensure waste and wastewater are effectively transported away from the house. To keep working properly, they require regular maintenance. You can rely on a few signs to tell you when drain cleaning is necessary. Here are three main signs you'll notice when it's time to call a professional.
One of the most unpleasant side effects of dirty drains is the smell. When food gets stuck within the pipes, they will begin to rot within a few days. This will give off a foul smell that can penetrate the entire house. Not only is the scent unpleasant, but it can actually be a health risk for family members. Mold and mildew spores can lead to throat, eye, ear, and skin irritations for those with allergies. The only way to resolve this issue is to invest in intensive drain cleaning.
When your pipes are clear, you'll notice the water in your kitchen sink or bathroom tub drains away with ease. However, if they are clogged with hair, grease, or other debris, the water will move at a much slower rate. Thus, if you notice your shower is pooling up or your sink is slow to drain, there could be an obstruction in your system. It is always best to call a professional to ensure the issue is resolved effectively.
Flushing your toilet only to watch the water rise is terrifying. Not only can this soil your bathroom floor, but it can also indicate major issues within your septic system. If this only happens once every so often, cleaning out the drain will likely solve it. Utilize a plunger to pump the debris free. For deeper, more intensive clogs, call a professional to snake your pipes.
These three signs all indicate your need for drain cleaning. If you can't resolve the issue on your own, always call a septic maintenance professional. Those in Trenton, OH, and the surrounding areas trust Johnny's A-1 Sanitation. For over 60 years, this family-owned business has focused on honesty and reliability. They provide exceptional sanitation service that is affordable and tailored to your specific needs. For more information, visit their website or call (513) 988-5880 today.

Driving/Safety/Etiquette and courtesy
< Driving | Safety
Much of etiquette and courtesy falls under traffic law, but some may or may not in your area. In any case, it's a good idea to keep all drivers aware of your intentions on the road, and enable them to drive safely by courteous action.
Driver awareness[edit]
A driver should keep other drivers appraised of his position and intentions on the road. This is accomplished by using all signals properly and keeping the vehicle visible to drivers around you. Surprise maneuvers and blind vehicles cause major accidents simply by not allowing other drivers to compensate for your actions or simple existence.
Signaling[edit]
In most places, traffic law dictates that a driver must signal to lane change, make a turn, or parallel park. In most places, police ignore this anyway, so nobody (even the police) does it. Some people don't even understand what signals are for, particularly when parallel parking; these drivers will occasionally yell and use their horn when a driver in front of them stops and signals to park, instead of going around the driver so that he can back up into the spot.
Proper signaling should be done several seconds before actually taking action, but not so long as to cause confusion. In general, three to four seconds should give other drivers enough time to process and react to the signal.
For turns and parallel parking, the signal should be activated while approaching the intersection or pulling up next to the parking spot. The flow of traffic should be clear before actually executing these maneuvers; turns cross traffic, and parallel parking tilts the front outer corner of the car outward.
For lane changes, the signal should be activated several seconds before actually changing lanes. Additional checks should be performed just before actually executing the lane change to assure no other vehicles occupy the space being moved into. The driver should also verify the speed difference between lanes and take appropriate action during the maneuver to adjust. Once the lane change has been completed, the driver should cancel the signal to avoid confusing other drivers.
Importantly, drivers must respect other drivers' signals when on the road. If another driver signals to change into your lane, do not pass. In many cases, a driver will intentionally speed up to prevent another driver from getting in front of him; this causes congestion when drivers brake to get behind an aggressive driver. In the worst case, the driver may not notice the sudden change in vehicle speed, and then subsequently collide with a vehicle in his blind spot. In any case, preventing a driver from properly changing lanes may make it more difficult for that driver to take an upcoming turn or exit, distressing the driver and leading to more erratic driving, and possibly accidents.
Positioning[edit]
Drivers must keep their cars positioned in such a way to remain visible to other drivers.
Do not ride blind spots.
Don't ride to the right of or directly behind large trucks.
SUVs cannot see the space around them as well.
Don't pass on the right; cars passing on the right seem to come out of nowhere!
In left-hand driving countries, do not pass on the left for the same reason.

Our first day in Nuremberg was a charmed one. The sun greeted us, its bright glow gently coaxing us outside. We didn't need to be told twice. After an energising breakfast of muesli and fruits, we geared up and headed out to carpe diem. Modern and classical architecture sat side by side, perfectly complimenting one another. Our first stop of the day led upwards, to the Nuremberg Castle. Its structure first established on the rocky cliffs in the eleventh century, the Imperial Castle was an important point for court gatherings and royal visits between the mid eleventh to the late sixteenth century. Inhabited only when the emperor came to visit, the structure stands as a symbol of status and power. Inside the grounds, a chapel – well fitted with era-appropriate religious artwork – and a museum dedicated to royal artefacts, greeted us. While most of the descriptive guides were written in German, it did nothing to dissuade our interest in the displays. Art appreciation knows no barriers. And the incredible intricacy and meaning imbued in centuries-old works only makes its beauty even more captivating. My friend had to pry me away from the golden crown on display. It's a good thing he did too; otherwise we could have lost the day in that dimly lit room.
As per every Tuesday, we headed off afterwards in search of a café and a bookshop. Stopping along the beautiful Pegnitz river, Café & Bar Celona called to us. Situated on the south side of the Fischbrücke bridge, the quaint café is situated in the middle of the shopping district. Sitting outside, we watched as people strolled past us. Every passerby was all smiles, and why shouldn't they be? Because even with light rain spattering on and off throughout the day, the temperature was ideal late spring weather; warm enough to wear summer clothes, fitted with a light breeze that justified taking a jacket along. To satiate our sweet tooth, we both ordered a mousse. My friend opted for a white chocolate mousse and an Americano. I ordered a milk chocolate mousse and a boozy hot chocolate. My spoon sliced through the dessert like soft butter. Its crunchy topping balanced the velvety texture of the mousse. Paired with the hot chocolate, Celona was an absolute delight. Thank heavens for its delicious treats, because as we sat down to order, my dear itouch died. And silly me, I forgot to pack a charger cable. So I retrieved Alfonso, an adorable penguin I bought at The Deep aquarium in Hull, from my bag. The sight of him brought an immediate smile to my face. Chuckling, my friend flagged down the waitress and we placed our orders.
Properly fuelled and sugar running through our veins, we squared up our tab and went to the next stop for the day. Thalia, a popular chain bookstore in Germany, boats over two hundred stores throughout the country. Visiting the Thalia in Nuremberg, it was easy to see why. Fitted with four floors of technology, working spaces, a café, a lecture space, and of course, books, Thalia was fabulously organised. Everything was clearly and boldly labeled. Colourful displays, such as the garden house, were a neat summary of aesthetically pleasing stationary, books, and décor. The International section, situated on the top floor, was a blend of top sellers and unique finds. Detailed opinions from staff members were lovingly written out on white cards and placed in front of the respective novels. If I had all the money in the world, I would've started my shopping spree in Thalia. So even though a myriad of books called to me, my wallet firmly insisted on settling for one. And what a wonderful choice! Having fallen in love with the film, my friend pointed out the novelised adaptation of The Shape of Water. A collaborative work between Guillermo del Toro and Daniel Kraus, the book adds further depth to the characters the audience was introduced to onscreen. To avoid spoiling too much, the inner conflict of Lainie Strickland – the antagonist's wife – was a refreshing change to her unchallenging Stepford depiction onscreen. All but dragging me out of the literary Narnia, I clutched the ocean blue book in my arms, eager to delve into the mythical world.
I love the bridges over the lovely tree lined river. Love to be there.

The Fave () is a river in France in the eastern region of Lorraine. It flows in the Vosges département. It is a tributary of the Meurthe, thus a sub-tributary of the Moselle and of the Rhine. It is  long.

Geography
The Fave rises at Lubine at the foot of Climont in the Vosges massif, and flows into the Meurthe at Sainte-Marguerite at the end of its  course. It flows through the grassland of the communes of  Colroy, Provenchères-sur-Fave, Le Beulay, Frapelle and Neuvillers, passing by the hamlet of Vanifosse in the Pair-et-Grandrupt commune before Remomeix. Its principal tributaries are the  "Sainte-Catherine" stream which comes out of La Grande-Fosse, the "Bleu" which flows from Lusse  and the "Morte" which flows from Ban-de-Laveline, this latter augmented by the waters of the "Blanc Rû".

The river's name is found in the title of two groupings of communes, the Communauté de communes de la Fave and the Communauté de communes de la Fave et de la Meurthe.

History and toponymy
The river shares its name with the village of Fave, which spread over the middle of the valley well before the 12th century. Having become a hamlet after the 16th century, it was left only a ruin after the Thirty Years War.

According to old mountain-dwellers, the source of the Fave was worshipped at Fouillepré upstream of Lubine. According to this cultural model, all the modest tributaries upstream of Lubine, which come from Climont, les Osières, la Jambe de fer and other slopes or small valleys, were referred to as "petites Faves" (little Faves). Their confluence created the Fave. A probable etymology of the word Fave is from the Old French meaning water which digs or searches. This bears resemblance to the Gaulish "murta" meaning to dig, gully or laugh, which gave rise to the Meurthe river, to the Morte (a tributary of the Fave which joins in the channels of the low grassland between Neuvillers and Vanifosse), and to the Mortagne, which flows into the Meurthe further downstream.

Downstream of Colroy the river has been intensively built on. A part of its waters were diverted with barrages to feed hydraulic installations or mères-royes, a local name for the main fittings used to irrigate humid grassland. More tenuous constructions aided log floating.

Hydrology

The Fave is a substantial river considering the relative smallness of its watershed. The mean interannual flow rate or discharge at its confluence with the Meurthe is  for a watershed of . The runoff curve number in the watershed is , which is high, almost twice that of the average of France with all watersheds included, and also larger than that of the French Moselle basin by a wide margin. In fact the Moselle's runoff at Hauconcourt, near where it exits France, rises to only . The specific flow rate of the Fave comes out at 18.59 litres per second per square kilometre of watershed.

Flora and fauna
Fish species found in the river include trout, perch, carp, roach. Also present are water scorpions, snails, caddisfly larvae, fish fry, red-eared sliders, rare snakes, crayfish, leeches and dragonfly.  Plants include bamboo species and aquatic equisetopsida.
