Home News Local News Memorial Day 2020
A Time for Remembrance and Gratitude
By Will Johnson
Messenger Reporter
EAST TEXAS – As the country pauses to catch its collective breath over the Memorial Day weekend, it is important to remind ourselves what is being commemorated on Monday, May 25.
While the day marks the unofficial start of summer, this year will be quite different thanks to COVID-19. All outdoor activities associated with the season will most likely see a decrease in crowds due to the virus. Still, it's imperative to note the day is not about BBQ, the lake, pool or even the end of a long school year.
The freedoms, the rights and the privileges we cherish and hold so dear were all paid for with the blood of our fallen military servicemen and women. Memorial Day is a day set aside to honor these brave men and women who perished while serving in the United States Armed Forces.
There is an adage which states, "All gave some, some gave all." Memorial Day is the one day designated to honor those who gave all.
It is a day to pay homage to our forefathers who were killed in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, so our country could leave its infancy to grow, prosper and mature.
When the country divided itself into the North and South – Memorial Day is a day to remember those who died on the battlefield so the United States could become whole once again.
Throughout two world wars, our military answered the call to arms. Men and women from all walks of life put their own lives on hold to serve the greater good in an effort to restore peace.
Of those who travelled to faraway places to prevent the spread of tyranny in World Wars I and II, many never returned. Their lives were lost in defense of our American way of life. Memorial Day is a time to honor those who never came home.
The Korean War, sometimes referred to as "The Forgotten War," saw well over 37,000 members of the United States Armed Forces make the supreme sacrifice. Memorial Day is a way to make sure those who fought and died on the Korean Peninsula are never forgotten.
As the fear of communism gripped the nation in the late 1950s and early 1960s, the United States asked its young men and women to travel to a land many had never heard of called Vietnam. Approximately 60,000 of the 3.4 million troops deployed to the Southeast Asia Theater of Operations never returned. Monday is an opportunity to commemorate those who paid the ultimate price.
From the early 1990s until today, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have claimed the lives of over 7,000 service members. They were our friends and our relatives. We will never see them smile or laugh or even get a chance to say goodbye. Memorial Day is a day set aside to honor their service and their memory.
The men and women who put on the uniforms of the United States Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines and Navy realize they may be called upon one day to give their lives in defense of our country.
Yet, every morning, they put on their BDUs, ACUs, MCCUUs, NWUs or ABUs and go to work. Fortunately, most will not have to give their lives in defense of our nation but, since our country was founded, over 1.5 million military members have.
On Memorial Day, we have the chance to say thank you and remember those who were willing to give their all so we could have the rights, freedoms and privileges we enjoy today.
Take that opportunity on Monday. For just a moment, stop what you're doing and express your gratitude to those who died while wearing the uniforms of the United States military.

The American Red Cross estimates that approximately 36,000 units of red blood cells are needed every day to serve medical needs across the United States, but the current blood supply is well short of that demand. In support of fulfilling this need, BAPS Charities held its annual blood donation drive in Atlanta, GA on October 7, 2018. In total, 70 pints of blood were collected, which has the potential to save up to 210 lives.
Building on years of experience in conducting large-scale comprehensive Health Fairs and Blood Donation Drives, BAPS Charities' volunteers organized the effort in conjunction with partnering local medical organizations. Blood donation guidelines and statistics were provided to potential donors to increase awareness of the critical need for various forms of blood components and its impact.
The American Red Cross estimates that one pint of blood can help save three lives. The over 40 BAPS Charities blood donation drives held across the United States aimed to assist in that valuable endeavor. BAPS Charities continues its decades-long efforts in helping to save lives through health education, no-cost medical fairs, and blood donation drives.

Q: How to read Boost property_map with peer values with identical tag names I am using the property_map from Boost c++ library v1.53, and its working great for me except I can't figure out how to parse data nodes with the same name that are peers of each other. As in the following XML:
<RECORDSET>
   <C>
      <CY>
          <CZ>
              1
              <CT>10</CT>
          </CZ>
          <CZ>
              2
              <CT>12</CT>
          </CZ>
      </CY>
      <CS>
          1
          2
      </CS>
   </C>
</RECORDSET>

I can parse everything above except the "I" data node elements under the "CS" tag at the bottom.  I am trying to use the code:

   // (works no problem)
   BOOST_FOREACH(const ptree::value_type & vpairC, proptreeCs.get_child(string("C")))
   {
      if (vpairC.first.data() != std::string("C"))
         continue;

      // grab the "C" ptree sub-tree for readability.
      ptree proptreeC = vpairC.second;

      // (this works no problem to iterate through the multiple CZ nodes under CY)
      // RM_CZs
      short nCZCount = 0;
      sTagName = ;
      BOOST_FOREACH(const ptree::value_type & vpairCZ, proptreeC.get_child("C"))
      {
         // get a local ptree for readability.
         ptree ptreeCZ = vpairCZ.second;

         // get the I and CT ids.
         sTagName = "I";
         long lId = ptreeCZ.get<long>(sTagName));
         sTagName = "CT";
         long lCT = ptreeCZ.get<long>(sTagName));

         // do something with id and ct...

         // increment the count.
         nCZCount++;
      }
      // nCZCount ends up set to 2 based on input XML above

      // (this loop does NOT work)
      sTagName = "CS";
      const ptree proptreeCS = proptreeC.get_child(sTagName);
      // (this does NOT work to iterate through  values under the <CS> node)
      sTagName = "I";
      BOOST_FOREACH(const ptree::value_type & vpairCS,
                    proptreeCS.get_child(sTagName))
      {
         // check to see if this is a "I" value; if not skip it.
         if (vpairCS.first.data() != sTagName)
            continue;
         long lId = atol(vpairCS.second.data().c_str());

         // do something with id...
      }
      // the above loop does NOT execute one time.
   }

So how can I iterate through the "I" value peers under the "CS" node?

A: In the code in my question, I was asking for children too low in the tree.  Here is the loop that will retrieve the "I" values from the "CS" node (replaces the last BOOST_FOREACH in the code in my question):
BOOST_FOREACH(const ptree::value_type & vpairI, proptreeC.get_child(std::str("CS")))
{
   // check to see if this is an "I" value; if not skip it.
   if (vpairCapability.first.data() != std::string("I"))
      continue;

   long lId = atol(vpairI.second.data().c_str());

   // do something with lId...
}

The owner of the derelict Alexander 'Greek' Thomson building on Union Street says he needs public money to restore it to its former glory.
One of Glasgow's most iconic buildings could be set for demolition, according to its owner.
Dundee businessman Derek Souter has chaired a public meeting to announce that due to a lack of funding, time is running out for Alexander 'Greek' Thomson's Egyptian Halls.
The Union Street building is considered to be Thomson's finest commercial building. Once a bustling four-storey indoor shopping centre, it was a symbol of empire and industrial might. But after decades of disuse, the Egyptian Halls are semi derelict and in need of and extensive repairs.
The building, said to be the architect's favourite, has been at risk for many years and mired in complex multi-ownership disputes.
Mr Souter, who has owned the building for the last 13 years, wants to turn it into a 250 bedroom hotel. In the latest round of public funding he has been offered almost £3m, but he says this is not enough. The funding consists of £1.65m from Historic Scotland and £1m Glasgow City Council.
He said: "If you were to demolish the hotel you would make more money, but we don't want to demolish one of Glasgow's architectural masterpieces.
"Neither does Glasgow City Council and neither does Historic Scotland. We need to collaborate effectively and that hasn't happened in thirteen years.
Sally White, of the Alexander Thomson Society said that the building would not be in danger if it was in another country.
She said: "You know we have had visitors to Glasgow to learn not just about Thomson but all the other great Glasgow architects.
Neither Historic Scotland nor Glasgow Council attended the meeting to discuss the building's future.


National Award-winning professional makeup, hair and prosthetics specialist Preetisheel Singh who has worked on the looks of Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor for Umesh Shukla's film 102 Not Out produced by T-Series, is floored by their magnetic appeal. "Even after all these years in the business of entertainment, their child-like enthusiasm and devotion to their art is awe-inspiring," gushes Preetisheel.
When Preetisheel first learnt about the legends coming together after 26 years, she was excited. Her job became even more demanding when she had to work on looks and references with them playing father and son. "Creating that age disparity was a task but it gives me great satisfaction that the makers and actors are happy with the outcome," she adds.
The movie has Bachchan playing a 102-year-old father to Rishi Kapoor as his 75-year-old son. 102 Not Out is based on writer-director Saumya Joshi's Gujarati play with the actors playing Gujarati characters for the first time.
Since bagging the 'National Film Award for Best Makeup' for Sartaj Singh Pannu's pre-Mughal historical epic Nanak Shah Fakir, Preetisheel has worked on various artistes in films such as Bajirao Mastani, Haider, Brothers, Rangoon, Parched, Talwar, Ghayal Once Again, Hawaizaada, Finding Fanny, Housefull 3, Shivaay and the Tamil film 24.
Her work will be showcased next with Nawazuddin Siddiqui's bald look in Ravi Udyawar's film MOM produced by more Bollywood heavyweights Boney Kapoor, Sunil Manchanda, Naresh Agarwal, Mukesh Talreja and Gautam Jain. Coming up after this, would be varied characters in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati, Sunny Deol's Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas and Vikramaditya Motwane's Bhavesh Joshi. Preetisheel sure has a satisfyingly busy year ahead.

Hanukkah on Rye: The 2022 Hallmark Channel Chanukah Movie
The Hallmark Channel is getting better as their 2022 Chanukah film, Hanukkah on Rye, is the network's best Chanukah film yet. Their previous films have set a low bar but then again, most of them always find a way to inject Xmas into them. Last year's Eight Gifts of Hanukkah was an improvement. I'm happy to say that Hanukkah on Rye feels like it's an Oscar winner compared to the previous offerings. During the film's…

32nd Lislea Drama Festival opens to a packed house
Community, What's On
On Saturday 23rd February the grand opening night of Lislea Drama Festival took place to a packed house in the Old School House Theatre in Lislea. The platform party consisted of the Festival President Mr Joe Murphy, Festival Chairperson Mr. Liam Hannaway, Secretary Mrs. Anne Garvey, Lislea Community Association Chairperson Mr. Sean Cunningham, Adjudicator Mr David Grant and the festival Sponsor Aidan Strain, Aidan Strain Electrical Engineering. Rasper Players, newcomers to Lislea, all the way from Gorey, Co. Wexford gave their portrayal of "Carthaginians" by Frank McGuinness on the opening night. The festival chairperson Mr. Liam Hannaway extended a warm welcome to this group who gave an eagerly awaited performance and one which didn't disappoint. On Sunday last, Lislea welcomed Doogea Drama Group, from Achill, Co. Mayo with "Translations" by Brian Friel. This classic was very well received by patrons and completed a very successful first weekend of theatre. Holycross/Ballycahill Drama Group, from Co. Tipperary will present the black comedy "God of Carnage" by Yasmina Reza on Wednesday 27th February. Following a playground scuffle between their sons, two sets of parents meet to resolve the incident with adult civility. However, the evening descends into chaos when this Broadway hit show takes a painfully funny look at how some parents can misbehave far worse than their children. Please note that this play contains adult themes. On Saturday 2nd March it is the turn of Pomeroy Players, Co. Tyrone with "Tarry Flynn" by Peter Fallon; this play is a favourite by many patrons. A man's mother can be a terrible burden sometimes – for Tarry Flynn – a poet, a farmer and a lover from afar of beautiful young girls – the responsibility of family, farm, poetic inspiration and his own unyielding lust is indeed a heavy one. The only solution is to rise above it all or escape over the nearest horizon. This packed first week ends with Kilrush Drama Group, Co. Wexford and their production of "Our Town" by Thorton Wilder on Sunday 3rd March. The play celebrates the simple, innocent and religious lives of both the past and present townsfolk of Grover's Corners. The play paints an affectionate portrait of American life and is eagerly awaited by this successful drama group. Curtain up at 8pm sharp. Tickets are on sale nightly at the Box Office from 7-8 pm. Nightly Admission £6 Children £3 General Enquiries Tel 028 30838565 See Press/Website for further details. www.lisleacommunity.com

Stekenjokks koppargruva var en gruva för brytning av koppar i Vilhelmina kommun, och öppnades 1976 av Boliden Mineral AB.

Historia
Tillredningsarbetena påbörjades sommaren 1973 med bland annat rampdrivning, byggande av kontor, verkstad och anrikningsverk. Malmen anrikades vid gruvan, och transporterades med lastbil till Lövliden för vidare befordran med järnväg till Rönnskärsverken. Gruvan lades ned 1988 på grund av lönsamhetsproblem. Gruvdriften skedde till största delen under jord med så kallad igensättningsbrytning.

Professors set to receive $3 million in missed pay
Back-pay checks that total $3 million are now being dispersed to approximately 300 CSUN faculty members who taught during three summer sessions but were not paid correctly after the university's transition to Year-Round Operations began.
"Checks dispersal is going on now," said Harry Hellenbrand, CSUN provost and vice president for Academic Affairs. As to when teachers can expect to get their checks, he said it really depends on what CSU campus a professor teaches at.
The $3 million sum will cover improper faculty pay for the summers of 2001, 2002 and 2003. Agreements over Summer 2004 and Summer 2005 terms are still up in the air, Hellenbrand said. The back pay is a CSU system-wide issue, with CSUN faculty set to receive a sizeable portion of the total amount.
The California Faculty Association filed a grievance over the concern that summer faculty were not being paid the same rate as regular academic year professors.
During the summers of 2001, 2002 and 2003, faculty pay was determined by a sliding scale that depended on the number of students in a class. Hellenbrand said that summer session professors must now be paid as though they are teaching during the regular academic year, regardless of the number students in enrolled in their classes.
Penny Jennings, associate vice president for Faculty Affairs, said that CSUN was considered a "buy-down campus" during the summer terms in question, in which state funds were supporting the summer program in an effort to reduce the fees charged to regularly admitted, or matriculated, students. This meant that CSUN administrators did not believe CSUN was a full YRO campus, which would have required it to pay professors using the regular semester salary model, called the 1/30 compensation rule.
An arbitration decision in March 2004, however, declared that schools receiving buy-down funds like CSUN were in fact "modified YRO campuses," in which the salary model used for Summer 2001, 2002 and 2003 was incorrect and had to be remedied.
Hellenbrand said most people knew by last fall that the arbitrations would require back pay to professors, but that the scale was up for negotiation.
According to Hellenbrand, the $3 million sum will come from various sources, including state trust accounts, or resources pooled by the different colleges and Academic Affairs that acts as a reserve from unused summer enrollment tuition.
"We tried not to spend all the fees collected from summer students, and set it aside for a rainy day," he said. "That rainy day has come."
According to Ron Clouse, director of budget planning and management at CSUN, $1.4 million of the total amount to be paid back to faculty came from the CSU, $900,000 came from CSUN funds, and $257,000 has been dispersed to compensate teachers who performed administrative duties such as student advisement and office hours.
Clouse said he did not have the sources of the remainder of the sum on hand.
Hellenbrand said the effects of the settlement would likely be seen around the campus in various forms, but doubts there will be a noticeable drop in classes offered.
"Supplies, services, and equipment will diminish," he said.
He also said that funding for faculty travel, staff development, and maintenance will likely suffer.
According to Hellenbrand, some colleges would see the affects more than others.
"If a college had more summer school classes, they had to pay more to summer professors," he said. "The College of Arts, Media (and Communication) took a pretty severe hit out of their state trust account, proportional to their size."
Despite the challenges created by the arbitrations and settlement, Hellenbrand said the campus would not suffer any major blows as far as classes offered and teachers provided over the summer session.
"By and large we had the same number of offerings as previous summers, but it is more costly now," he said. "People are going to be exceedingly careful about what they're offering," he said.
The California Faculty Association's regional representative, Audrena Redmond, said the union is pleased with the outcome of the arbitration.
"We're ecstatic," she said. "We're satisfied because it makes up for the compensation people were denied. It gives the faculty some of the money they were owed."
Redmond said the union feels that at a time when pay raises for faculty have been non-existent, the settlement is more than welcome.
"It's a shame the grievance had to be filed in the first place," she said.

The WJHS learning center officially opened in December of 2008. We also opened the second part of the learning center, our ELL classroom at the same time. Students who are struggling in school or behind in the academics can attend or be referred to our learning center to work on projects or receive 1-1 assistance. We have over 300 referrals each month and our kids benefit greatly from the technology, full computer lab, and resources that are available. These new classrooms and resources were provided by a $50,000 grant from the Washington County Riverboat Foundation.

We watch Fox so you don't have to!
Outrageous Fox Quote Of The Week Poll (Nov. 18-24, 2019)
Posted by Ellen -7834.60pc on November 25, 2019 · Flag
Let's be thankful we won't have Joseph diGenova at our Thanksgiving tables this holiday. His anti-Semitic smear of impeachment witness George Kent was the runaway winner of our last Outrageous Fox Quote of the Week poll. You can check out diGenova's quote and the full poll results here. But do make sure to vote in this week's poll because we've got some doozies for your consideration this week.
This week's nominees are:
Greg Gutfeld, telling viewers not to watch the impeachment hearings his own network was airing:
We may be required to air but you are not required to care. I am tired of the natural resentment I am seeing by the media who are hectoring the public about their obligation to take this farce seriously. Alright?
The media is shoving this down your throat with blanket abysmal coverage and then they scold you for not genuflecting before their altar of solemn news. "This is historical," they tell you. No, it is hysterical. Again, the resentment the media holds for anyone who doesn't swallow their garbage is repugnant. You should give them the metaphorical finger to all of this because the same people who implored you to take the dossier seriously, to take collusion seriously, to take the anti-Kavanaugh mob seriously – they've been wrong every time. It's all garbage.
You know what you could do? I would binge watch – by the way, our ratings are great so I think we can say this, we can take one for the team – binge watch, like, The Rockford Files. Or BoJack Horseman.
Donald Trump, telling Fox & Friends viewers why he ousted former Ukraine Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch.
But this ambassador that, you know, everybody says is so wonderful, she wouldn't hang my picture in the embassy. OK? She's in charge of the embassy, she wouldn't hang it. It took like a year and a half or two years to get the picture up. She said bad things about me, she wouldn't defend me.
And I have the right to change an ambassador. And Rudy didn't say good things, he wasn't crazy about it, it wasn't like a major topic but I have the right to change.
This was an Obama person, didn't want to hang my picture in the embassy. It's standard, is you put the president of the United States' picture in an embassy.
This was not an angel, this woman, OK? There are a lot of things that she did that I didn't like and we will talk about that at some time.
Stephanie Grisham, dodging John Bolton's accusation that the White House had blocked his Twitter account by suggesting he's too old to know how to use it:
It was his personal account that he continued to use while he was at the White House. I don't know a whole lot about it but sometimes – I'll use my father as an example. Somebody who is of an advanced age may not understand that all you have to do is contact Twitter and reset your password if you've forgotten it. So I'll just leave it at that.
Rudy Giuliani, in a bizarre rant after host Ed Henry asked if he's "afraid" he may be indicted:
I represented my client in a very, very effective way. I was so effective that I discovered a pattern of corruption that the Washington press has been covering up for three or four years. You should have jumped all over this in 2015 when this awful conflict was mentioned.
The reality is, I'm embarrassing you because you didn't do your job and I'm also going to bring out a pay-for-play scheme in the Obama administration that will be devastating for the Democrat party. I expected the moment I heard Biden's name, I told my colleagues they're gonna try to kill me. Because they're gonna kill the messenger. But, dammit, the Mafia couldn't kill me, your colleagues are not gonna kill me.
Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA), answering host Chris Wallace's question as to whether it was Russia or Ukraine that hacked the DNC in 2016:
KENNEDY: I don't know, nor do you, nor do any of us.
WALLACE: Let me just interrupt to say the entire intelligence community says it was Russia.
KENNEDY: Right, but it could also be Ukraine. I'm not saying that I know one way or the other. I'm saying that [impeachment witness and Russia expert who testified it was Russia] Ms. Hill is entitled to her opinion but no rebuttal evidence was allowed to be offered. We know, at least that the Republicans in the House wanted to call a witness, a DNC political operative who lobbied the Ukrainian embassy to be involved, get involved in 2016 election. We don't know if Ukraine did that, we don't know to what extent because they won't let the president offer his evidence and that's why I say once again the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence if you're not allowed to call your own witnesses.
Cast your vote below. The poll will remain open until 11:59 PM on December 1, 2019.
May the worst quote win!

Who Had The Most Outrageous Fox Quote (Nov. 18-24, 2019)?
John McKee commented 2019-11-26 13:57:05 -0500 · Flag
Brilliant observation, Eyes. Gutfeld is a truly unpleasant piece of work, the kind of cocky sarcasm merchant that goes through life diminishing everyone and everything he encounters in order to make himself look 'smarter'.
I went for silly old Kennedy on this occasion, purely because that particular performance is such a notable representation of the murky, mindless depths a once legitimate party has sunk to. The unholy alliance struck between amoral rich opportunists, the perennially aggrieved and religious bigots of forty-plus years ago has brought forth the ugliest fruit in American political history. And, considering your history, that is quite something.
Back to Gutfeld, I will never contest your belief that he is the single most unpleasant character in a singularly unpleasant enterprise.

First, congratulations to Fox News. Several of these horrific quotes were major news stories and they originated from their propaganda factory. They deserve a Golden Turd Award in recognition.
All but one, IMHO, are equally worthy picks. However, I'm going to go for the underdog: Dried up comic (was he ever funny?) Greg Gutfeld.
Obviously there are a lot of bigger Trump ass-sucking stars on Fox News who get far more attention such as Ingraham, Hannity, Pirro, and Carlson. But, despite their frequent screeching rants, probably the nastiest Trump suck-ass on TrumpTV™ is Gutfeld. Whenever my stomach is strong enough to watch a few minutes of The Five Gutfeld's angry, mean-spirited bile forces me to dive for my Roku controller.
A lot of the MAGA craziness on Fox News I view as performance art not to be taken seriously by anyone but the low-IQ fanboy droolers. But Gutfeld is the real deal. The angry, out of control snowflake. I wonder what Juan Williams in private really thinks of Gutfeld who is always pit bulling him.

Jana Zemljarič Miklavčič
During 1993 and 2008, Dr Jana Zemljarič Miklavčič (1966–2010) was the main initiator and the Head of Slovene Language Courses Programme at the Centre for Slovene as a Second/Foreign Language. During the period of her active involvement, the Slovene Language Courses Programme expanded from the Summer School of Slovene Language, her first project, to a wide-ranging programme which did not include only an increasingly wider variety of courses on offer but the entire infrastructure for their implementation as well (systematic teacher training, textbook publication etc). The area of Slovene as a second and foreign language was also the area of her research: in her Master's thesis she worked on the history of teaching Slovene as a second language.
The Scholarship Trust is dedicated to her memory and to her work.
The Scholarship Trust
The Jana Zemljarič Miklavčič Scholarship Trust makes grants to individuals who are either professionally or non-professionally engaged in Slovene culture or in another way contribute to the promotion of Slovenia in the world.
As the grants awarded by the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport and the Office for Slovenians Abroad are intended for individuals with Slovene background exclusively, we wish to enable candidates who do not have Slovene background, but are actively engaged in Slovene culture or in some other way contribute to the promotion of Slovenia in the world to learn Slovene with the support of the Trust. Learning the language will broaden their better understanding of Slovene contemporary life and thus support them in their work and mission.
By 1 May 2021 candidates have to send an application for a grant via e-mail to jana.ketematicic@ff.uni-lj.si which has to include:
a CV;
a motivation letter (an explanation why the candidate in question is eligible for the grant, what is his/her contribution to the promotion of Slovenia);
proofs of activities in the area of Slovene culture (e.g. a part of a study from the area of culture, a translation of works of Slovene literature etc.);
references (e.g. letter of recommendation)
By 15 May 2021 the Committee will carefully study all the applications and award to the three best candidates:
2 grants for a three-week course at the Summer school (EUR 572)

It's Tough Work Being This Cute
By Live Science Staff published 23 April 12
Baby pygmy hippo Eve lets out a yawn while out for a stroll with her mom Ellen at the Edinburgh Zoo. (Image credit: Jon-Paul Orsi)
The Edinburgh Zoo's baby pygmy hippo, Eve, has a lot of work to do growing up. She was caught in the middle of a yawn by photographers while out for a stroll in her enclosure with mom, Ellen.
Eve was the last birth of 2011 for Edinburgh Zoo; Ellen gave birth to her on New Year's Eve. Ellen herself was born at the zoo in 2005.
Mother and baby have a tight bond, the zoo says, spending time together in both their indoor and outdoor enclosures.
The pygmy hippos is only half as tall as its full-size cousin and ways a quarter as much. Adult pygmy hippos stand about 30–32 inches (75–83 centimeters) high at the shoulder, are 59–70 inches (150–177 cm) in length and weigh 400–600 pounds (180–275 kilograms). At birth, pygmy hippos only weight between 9.9 and 13.7 pounds (4.5 to 6.2 kg).
Pygmy hippos can live between 30 and 55 years. The species, native to West Africa, is considered endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, an independent international body that assesses the conservation status of species around the world.
Pygmy hippos are strong swimmers and are perfectly adapted to the water, with muscular valves that close their ears and nostrils when submerged.Baby hippos are not born swimmers though, they must be taught.

Normally, my focus when looking at a new set is on its impact in Standard, which I wrote about last week. Standard is obviously the format where new sets are most important, and while we often see a handful of cards make waves in older formats (Fatal Push and Unclaimed Territory being recent examples) there is less to chew on when it comes to Modern and Legacy, and the cards that do see play are often just upgrades for existing decks rather than a new build-around because the barrier to entry in larger formats is so high.
However, I find myself in a rather unusual position where nearly every tournament I'm going to over the next few months will be Modern. Magic's most popular format is now the dominant format on the SCG Tour®, which I'm refocused on for this year, and I'm in the Modern seat for team events. I won't be playing Standard until June at the Season One Invitational and Grand Prix Pittsburgh, at which point Dominaria will be well-explored and I'll have a strong base from which to start exploring the format.
As a result, I've taken a closer look at the previewed cards with a focus on their potential impact in Modern. As I expected, there isn't a large number of potential hits, but those that are there look to slot nicely into decks I enjoy, which is a bonus. First and foremost, that means Elves. Llanowar Elf is the exciting card for Standard, but in Modern I'm looking at Marwyn, the Nurturer.
Elf decks in Modern are built in large part around the power of Elvish Archdruid, which is the natural comparison for Marwyn. I think Elvish Archdruid is the better of the pair, since the anthem effect is important when getting aggressive and its mana production isn't dependent on landing it before you start casting other Elves, making it a much better topdeck.
That said, the fact that Marwyn gives you the ability to create a large body that can survive a sweeper like Anger of the Gods or potentially contend in combat with a Tarmogoyf or Gurmag Angler is not to be dismissed. Elves is certainly a go-wide sort of aggressive deck, but having the ability to go wide and tall at the same time with a card that plays well with your strategy is a significant addition. Thus, the difference in power between the two isn't that large and just because Marwyn is a little worse than Elvish Archdruid doesn't mean it doesn't have a place in the deck.
You can play both cards.
So now we have two questions to answer. First, what is the total number of these cards that we want in our deck? And second, what is the ideal split between the two given our answer to the first question?
Oddly enough, I think the second question is easier to answer, even though it ostensibly depends on answering the first. The reason is that Marwyn, the Nurturer is a legend, which greatly increases its diminishing returns. On the other side, Elvish Archdruid is great in multiples due to its anthem effects stacking. Given that and the fact that Archdruid is better in a vacuum, I'm going to play all four copies of it before the first copy of Marwyn.
Now, back to the first question. The answer here I think depends on what variant of Elves you're playing. In my mind, there are three playable variants: G/W with the Devoted Druid combo, G/B with Shaman of the Pack, and Jund, which is essentially G/B that splashes for Bloodbraid Elf.
For each deck, the answer is predicated on the available space in the deck and the desire to keep a very low curve to not disrupt the deck's ability to flood the battlefield quickly with Elves. I often see players raise their curve too much in decks like this, mostly as a response to a string of games where they topdeck weak cards in the late game and want more power in those scenarios, without internalizing the sacrifices they make in doing so. Therefore, I'm going to be wary of adding more three-drops, and not go above ten or eleven total.
For G/W, the Devoted Druid combo takes up a lot of space that the other Elves variants must maneuver with, and I'm not willing to cut into it since that combo is what makes G/W so powerful and in my opinion the best of the three. Even Chord of Calling, a card that I trim or cut entirely in every matchup is untouchable in the maindeck.
As a result, I don't see space for more than one copy of Marwyn, the Nurturer, over an Elvish Visionary or tutor target like Eternal Witness or Selfless Spirit. I'm inclined to say the power of Marwyn is enough to play the one copy, but not anymore. You may want to trim an Ezuri, Renegade Leader since as a legend it also has diminishing returns, but I consider Ezuri as part of the combo. It also plays better in the G/W variant than the other two because of the presence of Devoted Druid giving you more mana to sink into Ezuri's overrun and Druid being a weak attacker means you're more reliant on going over the top with Ezuri even when turning to the aggro plan.
Without the Devoted Druid combo, you might think that G/B lists have more space for Marwyns, but they run into another issue, namely the bottleneck at three mana in the curve. With four copies of Shaman of the Pack alongside Elvish Archdruid and Ezuri, Renegade Leader, we're quickly running into the eleven three-drop limit I've imposed. Ezuri is much less important in the non-combo versions of Elves, so I'm willing to go down to two copies, making room for one copy of Marwyn, the Nurturer.
Also, Chord of Calling is much worse in non-combo Elves variants, and while I often see the card in lists anyway, I prefer Lead the Stampede, a card that has diminishing returns because each extra copy makes the others less potent by reducing the expected value of the others, and by simply being cards that don't affect the battlefield in a deck that is contingent on building a large battlefield as quickly as possible. I'm willing to play three copies of Lead the Stampede, which opens another slot that could go to a three-drop, so two Marwyns is the maximum number I'd advise for G/B.
Jund plays similarly to G/B, but the addition of Bloodbraid Elf further limits the space for three drops, even if they are good hits off a cascade trigger. With four copies each of Bloodbraid Elf, Shaman of the Pack, and Elvish Archdruid alongside the desire for two copies of Ezuri, Renegade Leader and at least one Lead the Stampede to compound the card advantage from Bloodbraid Elf, I don't see any room for Marwyn, the Nurturer in Jund lists.
To summarize, one copy in G/W, two in G/B, and zero in Jund.
The second card that struck my fancy is Adventurous Impulse. Cheap card manipulation has a history of being very good, and especially good in older formats that can readily take advantage of cheap spells to set up powerful synergies. In Modern you also need to find early action or fall too far behind, so there's a premium placed on cards that increase your consistency in the early game.
It's bad. Unplayably bad. The Abzan Company decks it takes after were much better at playing an aggressive game if the combo didn't come together or if your opponent played defensively so as to not lose to it, but adding a bunch of two mana 2/1s and 0/2s to the deck made that aggro plan untenable. G/W Elves is a far more powerful and much cleaner shell for the Devoted Druid combo and that deck isn't interested in a cantrip.
I can't get over the idea of turning my deck over and putting it all on the table at once. Lots of Green Devotion decks look to play a more value-centric game with planeswalkers and Primal Command-Eternal Witness loops, but I'm here to go big and nothing goes bigger than Genesis Wave.
The problem with going as big as possible is the increased dependency on finding Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx. Oath of Nissa certainly helps in that regard, but I think redundancy with Adventurous Impulse is a welcome addition, especially because it can find extra copies of Burning-Tree Emissary to set up a big turn or gain value by finding Eternal Witness and Wistful Selkie.
My list is built to go as big as possible as quickly as possible, which is why I like Summoner's Pact, which often finds Burning-Tree Emissary but can also find the singleton Primeval Titan if you're unable to get all the way to Genesis Wave or simply find the Craterhoof Behemoth and shortcut the win once you have a couple creatures.
I've considered Hidden Herbalist as redundant copies of Burning-Tree Emissary, but the revolt clause is a real issue here. You can't play too many fetchlands because you want Genesis Wave to hit actual lands to keep the turn going and Summoner's Pact fills the same role while being more versatile, and I'm not even playing the full four copies of that.
This deck can win as early as turn 3, and consistently kills by turn 4 or 5 against the goldfish. The presence of planeswalkers and value creatures means it has some resilience against disruptive decks, but its achilles heel has been fast combo, which is quite prevalent in Modern. But the recent metagame is much fairer and somewhat slower than Modern has historically been, so I'm excited about the prospects of this deck making its way to the lower tiers of the metagame.
Mox Amber is among the marquee cards in the set, and for good reason. The first "fixed" moxen, Lotus Petal and Mox Diamond, are Legacy staples. The second, Chrome Mox, is banned in Modern. And the third, Mox Opal, is often talked about as the most egregious unbanned card in Modern. Mox Amber is almost certainly the weakest of the group because it's the most difficult to utilize in the early turns of the game, which is where free mana is at its most dangerous.
In a recent article, Brennan DeCandio goes as far as to claim Mox Amber will not be able to function in that fashion, instead serving as a free piece of ramp on turns 3 or 4 for decks that can incorporate some two and three mana legends that are more powerful individual cards.
I'm more optimistic than my BCW teammate. Playing multiple one-drops on turn 1 may not seem all that powerful, but when that curve is built around properly, it is very powerful. I don't want to wait to use a free land; I want my mana now. If you want to see the potential of Mox Amber pushed to its limit, you can scroll down a little, but I'm going to start with a more sensible list, slotting the card into a proven Modern shell.
A quick gatherer search revealed that most of the cheap legendary creatures were white. Thalia, Guardian of Thraben is the best of the bunch and white has two playable legends at one mana: Kytheon, Hero of Akros and Isamaru, Hound of Konda. Kytheon has seen play in Modern Humans as a singleton, and I've been rather impressed with it in that role. It also plays well with my plan of flooding the battlefield with Mox Amber since transforming it by turn 3 is incredibly powerful.
The major change here is the removal of Aether Vial. Mox Amber is a more potent source of mana acceleration, and while my initial list contained Vial as well, it was ultimately a casualty of space. An aggressive deck with Mox Amber is going to want plenty of one mana creatures to maximize your early turns, and that meant making space for Aether Vial required trimming too much of the top end, robbing the deck of its power.
While a less powerful deck, this version of Taxes leverages the Leonin Arbiter + Ghost Quarter interaction better than any deck we've ever seen in Modern. Strip Mining your opponent as early as turn 2 with a couple creatures on the battlefield is a great play, and you'll often end games before your opponent can recover, especially if you follow it up with a Thalia, Guardian of Thraben.
Thalia, Heretic Cathar and Brimaz, King of Oreskos are quality three-drops that ensure Mox Amber can continue making mana even if the early creatures die. They're also both much better when cast on turn 2 via the Mox, with Thalia punishing early fetchlands and Brimaz building a battlefield of Cat tokens and providing a threat that survives the most popular sweeper right now in Anger of the Gods.
The other major change is at the four-drop slot on the curve, where I've replaced Restoration Angel with Hero of Bladehold. Hero is simply a game ending threat if not answered immediately so when you cast it ahead of schedule, especially with some other creatures on the battlefield, you're going to run your opponent over a significant portion of the time. They aren't going to have time to cast Serum Visions to find the removal spell through your tax effects and with the move back to Lightning Bolt as the premier cheap removal spell, they may just not have the right answer.
I'm not sold on Flickerwisp without Aether Vial, but I kept them in to give the deck both a flier, and a way to remove blockers. There's certainly the potential to depart more radically from the traditional shell, but for now I'm going to play the proven cards.
The more aggressive nature of this deck is also reflected in the manabase, where I've gone up to two copies of Shefet Dunes and replaced the Tectonic Edges in typical lists with a creature-land in Mutavault. Any way to sneak in the last few points of damage is welcome, since one turn can make all the difference, especially with an opponent trying to work their way out of mana screw.
Now we're talking. The one mana creatures in Bushwhacker Zoo past Wild Nacatl and Goblin Guide are subpar to begin with. Kird Ape, Experiment One, and Narnam Renegade are the most common and replacing them with the legends isn't much of a downgrade on rate, though it does make the mana worse. It's possible that the splash for green isn't worthwhile, but I decided to get greedy after resorting to playing Spark Elemental over Wild Nacatl in a straight Boros list, with Path to Exiles and Boros Charms taking the place of Atarka's Command.
Spark Elemental isn't as embarrassing as it seems; haste creatures allow you to turn on battalion for Boros Elite and Kytheon, Hero of Akros more quickly, and potentially take your opponent by surprise, but it's certainly no Wild Nacatl and the power of Atarka's Command in this deck cannot be denied.
I'm also not at all unhappy with the necessary "downgrade" of Tarmogoyf to Thalia, Guardian of Thraben to increase the legend count. Tarmogoyf is notoriously weak in Zoo because they don't fill their graveyard as reliably as disruptive decks, and the tax on opposing removal spells is very important in a deck looking to end games as quickly as possible.
Sweepers are obviously an issue here, though Kytheon transforming and using Zurgo's Dash appropriately can mitigate the effects of them and Boros Charm is an excellent sideboard option against them, since it's never a dead card if the timing fails to align properly.
Boros Elite sticks out here but I think it's important to have another white one drop to go along with Mox Amber after a Kytheon or Isamaru and in a deck like this Boros Elite is going to be as good as Wild Nacatl much of the time. It's the right role player here.
I expressed a lack of excitement over Dominaria last week, but after looking at what the set can do in Modern I'm hopping on the hype train. Few things feel better than casting a mox on turn 1 and doing the most broken things possible with it. It's time to get degenerate again.

I don't think it's any exaggeration to state that Manchester United have 10 days to avoid what could be the worst period in the club's past 30 years or more.
Louis Van Gaal needs his chief executive to make 3 World Class signings before the end of this transfer window, because the world TV audience saw with jaws dropped last weekend just how far off we are from having any chance of challenging for the title, and most likely even the top 4.
We look average on paper and we were well below average on the pitch. If that's the standard we are going to perform to, we will be lucky to finish any higher than we did last season. A year ago we dithered through the transfer window and on deadline day signed a player who was obviously never the quality needed to improve the current squad. It was a backwards move, and an expensive one at that, leaving us stuck with a player that is realistically worth about 25% of what we paid for him – a panic buy if ever I have seen one; a signing that both Moyes and Woodward should take a lot of blame for.
I heard Moyes recently quoted claiming that they had been targeting Ronaldo, Bale and Fabregas. Did he really think these players would have come to play for David Moyes? Maybe if Sir Alex had still been around, we would have had a chance, but the simple fact remains that appointing Moyes cost us the chance to sign quality players, and look where we are today.
In the next 10 days it's absolutely essential that the owners back the club with the "HUGE KITTY" that Woodward has claimed is available, and rather than panic buy on the last day, Woodward needs to prove he can do this job and push through some world class talent identified by LVG.
So far in the last 3 windows we have spent £137m on 5 players that arguably would not get anywhere near the starting 11 at Chelsea or Man City. That's a shitload of money to have spent on what our biggest rivals would consider second string players. LVG / Woodward need to bring in Hummels / Benatia, Khedira, Di Maria, and maybe Blind. Indeed, unless LVG is convinced of RVP's fitness, can we really go a full season without buying another top striker?
Those signings would certainly cost a lot of money, but it will be good value as long as we finish in top 4 come May, because if we don't then I am afraid United will decline as Liverpool did in the 90s, and it will be even harder to get back into the big time for United a decade from now than it was for Liverpool back then.
We looked at the opening 6 fixtures and any United fan is lying if they claim they weren't rubbing their hands together thinking that after 6 games we could well be top with 18 points. It took all of 90 minutes at Old Trafford for the optimism to turn to despair.
Anyone who thinks this current squad has a realistic chance of finishing in the top 4 probably needs to lay off the the weed – we don't have players that would get into City, Chelsea, Arsenal or Liverpool's team, and you don't get in the top 4 just because you are a 'big club' or you have history. Teams get in the top 4 and win trophies by having the best players. We no longer have the Fergie-factor, and whilst LVG may be up there with the best, he will not be able to replicate what Sir Alex did with mediocre players.
LVG and Woodward need to be working 24/7 these next 10 days to get rid of the players that shouldn't be wearing a United shirt – Anderson, Young, Cleverley, Zaha, Fellaini and one or two others; maybe try hard to raise £50m in sales and bring in REAL QUALITY that will have all clubs fearing the Red Devils again.
If you look at Chelsea, the players they have sold and the money they received, we can only look on with envy. They basically sold Mata and Lukaku for the same money as they bought Fabregas and Costa – that's why they must be favorites to win the title this year; the Chief Exec is executing the Manager's wishes.
The reality is very simple. I think I speak for hundreds of millions of United fans worldwide – we are worried about our club, we are sick of reading the press mocking what's going on at United, and unless the club SPENDS BIG and lands those WORLD CLASS players before the end of the month, it could be decades in the wilderness.
United's Transfer Paralysis: Who's to Blame?
One thought on "United Have 10 Days to Avoid the Wilderness"
Red Golly says:
Totally agree, panic buys and embarrassing for United fans that we have to stumble to this.
The defense is terrible and I just don,t get it , the two teams we have played are not anywhere near the best in the premiership so why cant we even have our defense as good as theres .Is the same problem as last year and has to be a massive internal problem as Old Trafford since Fergie left .

Social media marketing has been on the minds of marketers since the rise of Facebook and Twitter more than a decade ago, but its most stubborn opponents still view it with the same resentment, and the same argument: it's not a profitable strategy. To their credit, social media marketing isn't a money-making miracle machine. Accumulating 10,000 followers might seem cool, and make you feel like you've gotten an edge over the competition, but if those 10,000 followers don't buy your products, what are they actually worth?


This still image from a video camera outside the shuttle Discovery captures the space station and its new Kibo lab (right with attic and robotic arm) after undocking on June 11, 2008 during NASA's STS-124 mission.
This report was updated at 6:01 p.m. EDT.
HOUSTON — NASA?sshuttle Discovery and its seven-astronaut crew said ?sayonara? to the InternationalSpace Station (ISS) Wednesday to begin the trip home after delivering a newJapanese lab to the orbiting outpost.
Discoveryundocked from the space station at 7:42 a.m. EDT (1142 GMT) after nine days of orbitalconstruction to install and outfit Japan?sbillion-dollar Kibo laboratory.
?We wish them the best with their expedition and we hope we left them abetter, more capable space station than when we arrived,? Kelly said of thestation?s three-man crew, saying goodbye after delivering Japan?s Kibo lab. ?Sayonara.?
Discoverycast off from the station as the two spacecraft flew 214 miles (344 km) abovethe southern Pacific Ocean, just east of Australia. The spacecraft is due toland Saturday with Kelly, shuttle pilot Ken Ham and mission specialists KarenNyberg, Ronald Garan, Michael Fossum, Japanese astronaut Akihiko Hoshide andreturning station crew member Garrett Reisman of NASA.
Reisman isreturning to Earth after three months in space after turning his flightengineer reins over U.S. astronaut Gregory Chamitoff, who launched aboardDiscovery May 31 and remained aboard the station today with two Russian crewmates.
?It was agreat adventure with all of you, an adventure of a lifetime,? said Chamitoff,who is beginning a six-month mission at the station. ?We wish you guys aterrific flight back, an awesome landing and look forward to seeing you on theground.?
Reismantold the station crew to feel free to dig into the stash of Snickers candy barshe left behind, but was apparently too late.
?We foundthose last night and have already broken into them,? Chamitoff said.
Duringtheir nine days at the space station, Discovery installedJapan?s Kibo lab, added a storage room to the rooftop of the 37-foot(11-meter) module and test drove the massive room?s new robotic arm. Threespacewalks were performed during the mission.
?Thismission has gone just phenomenally well so far,? said Matt Abbott, NASA?s leadshuttle flight director for Discovery?s flight, during a Tuesday briefing hereat the Johnson Space Center.
Built bythe Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the Kibo lab is the largest roomaboard the space station and leaves the orbiting outpost about 71 percentcomplete, NASA officials said.?It has two windows and its own small airlock toprovide access to an external experiment platform that is slated to launchaboard a NASA shuttle next year.
Astronautsdelivered Kibo?ssmall storage room earlier this year during a March shuttle flight. Asmaller robotic arm, which will allow Kibo?s main 33-foot (10-meter) limb tomanipulate experiments on the external platform, is also slated to fly nextyear.
?I?mlooking at the next chance for our science work,? said JAXA?s deputy Kibooperations manager Tetsuro Yokoyama, adding that first experiments aboard thenew lab are expected to begin in August.
Before departingthe station, shuttle pilot Ken Ham took the helm of Discovery to guide itthrough a victory lap of sorts around the orbiting lab while his crewmatessnapped photographs of its exterior.
Known as a fly-around,the maneuver allows astronauts to document changes in the station?s appearancewhile giving shuttle pilots a change to fly their spacecraft.
?This is a greattradition that started somewhere back in the early days of rendezvous-typemissions with the space shuttle,? Ham told reporters before flight. ?Andwhoever thought of it was brilliant.?
Discovery?s crew also conducted a five-hour inspection of the heat shieldpanels along their shuttle?s wing edges and nose cap. The inspections are nowstandard since heat shield damage led to the loss of the shuttle Columbia andits astronaut crew in 2003.
Discoverylaunched without its own laser-tipped boom for heat shield inspections justafter liftoff and before landing because Japan?s massive Kibo lab took up toomuch room in cargo bay. Instead, astronauts retrieved an inspection boom left atthe station during a preview shuttle mission.
Abbott saidthat a cursory inspection of Discovery using the limited reach of its ownrobotic arm, as well as photographs of its heat shield taken before docking,have shown no areas of concern for engineers back on Earth.
Today?sscan will provide a better view of the underside of Discovery?s wing edges, withengineers hoping to complete their analysis some time tomorrow, Abbottsaid.
Meanwhile,Discovery?s crew is on track for its planned Saturday landing at NASA?s KennedySpace Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla.
MissionControl here roused the astronauts early Wednesday with the song ?Centerfield?by John Fogerty, a tune selected for Ham by his wife Michelle.
?Girl, youare my home, and all of us are going to start our journey home today,? Ham toldhis wife via Mission Control as the shuttle and space station zipped around theplanet at 17,500 mph (28,163 kph). ?From my rough calculations, that?s about amillion miles, but we?re going really fast so we?re on our way.?

Former Milwaukee mansion of H-D co-founder William S. Harley was on the market
by Sarah Hauer from https://www.jsonline.com
Former Milwaukee mansion of Harley-Davidson co-founder William S. Harley was recently on the market.
The former mansion of Harley-Davidson co-founder William S. Harley in Washington Heights was recently on the market for the first time in decades.
The home at 4906 W. Washington Boulevard was built in 1916 and designed by architect Charles Valentine. The original estimated cost was $8,000, according to the Wisconsin Historical Society.
The Harley family moved into the home a couple of years after it was built.
Harley, along with his friend Arthur Davidson and Arthur's brother Walter Davidson, founded the motorcycle brand.
Harley and the Davidsons built their first motorcycle in 1903. By 1913, the company had built almost 13,000 motorcycles.
The vintage Mediterranean revival mansion was listed for sale at $399,000.
The 3,821 square-foot home has six bedrooms and four bathrooms. It also features a sun room, grand foyer, formal dining room, fireplace and indoor fountain.
Throughout the home are hardwood floors, French doors and arched windows.
While the home is spacious (sitting a .28-acre lot), there is a lot of work that needs to be done on it. The electrical system needs updating. The bathrooms are all vintage tile with pedestal sinks.
The current owners lived in the home for decades and moved out a couple months ago. The mansion will be sold in "as-in" condition, according to the listing.
The property went under contract Tuesday, said the listing agent Mike Argeropoulos of Riverwest Realty. Argeropoulos said the buyer intends to preserve the home.
Argeropoulos said more than 200 people came to the open house last weekend. Multiple offers were received, Argeropoulos said.
The last time this property was on the market was 1976 when John and Camille Shaw bought it for $44,500, according to city records.

En Corée du Sud, le Mosi désigne une ramie fine autour de laquelle il existe une tradition de tissage. Celle-ci est pratiquée dans la ville de Hansan, province du Chungcheong du Sud. En 2011, ce type de tissage est inscrit sur la liste représentative du patrimoine culturel immatériel de l'humanité, à la suite d'une décision de l'Unesco.

Pratique de tissage
Les pratiques de tissage du Mosi, qui ont lieu dans la ville de Hansan, province du Chungcheong du Sud, sont essentiellement féminines, effectuées par des femmes d'âge mûr qui transmettent leur compétence aux femmes de la génération suivante. Le tissage du Mosi s'apprend au sein des familles. La fertilité des terres ainsi que l'air marin rendent la région propice à la culture du Mosi. Après la récolte des plantes, on les fait bouillir et blanchir, puis on file la fibre et on la tisse, sur un métier à tisser traditionnel. L'épluchage de la peau se fait au moyen d'un couteau conçu à cet effet. Les fibres séchées au soleil passent du vert au brun. Les fibres individuelles sont tirées par les femmes avec leurs dents de devant, ce qui est long et souvent douloureux. Elles obtiennent alors des fibres longues et flexibles. Les fils de ramie subissent un processus d'amidonnage final, où ils sont brossés au-dessus d'un feu de charbon à combustion lente. Avec un métier à tisser hybride, le mosi est tissé au moyen de poulies spéciales fixées aux chaussures des femmes pour contrôler la lice du métier. La teinture se réalise à partir de produit naturel comme le ginseng. Les vêtements ainsi confectionnés, de couleur blanche, sont portés en été. Le costume de cérémonie, l'uniforme militaire et la tenue de deuil peuvent être issus du Mosi. Les vêtements fabriqués peuvent être ordinaires ou plus distingués. Pendant l'époque contemporaine, environ cinq cents personnes travaillent ce tissu.

Reconnaissance
En 2011, l'UNESCO inscrit «Le tissage du Mosi (ramie fine) dans la région de Hansan » sur la liste représentative du patrimoine culturel immatériel de l'humanité. D'après la description officielle réalisée par cette institution, cette pratique entretient des liens sociaux, dans la mesure où les voisins se réunissent pour tisser dans des quartiers spécifiques. Il existe aussi un musée consacré au Mosi, situé dans une usine traditionnelle de la région de Hansan.. De plus, un festival au sujet de cette pratique de fabrication est organisé annuellement.
