Saxo Strategy Team
Summary: Equity sentiment continued to suffer yesterday despite a US August CPI release that showed cooler inflation than expected and saw a rally in Treasuries as it keeps Fed expectations on tapering and eventual rate hikes in check. The weak risk sentiment drove the US dollar back to the firm side and JPY was firmer still as FX patterns across many pairs suggested a change of mood to the worse.
What is our trading focus?
Nasdaq 100 (USNAS100.I) and S&P 500 (US500.I) - despite a victory for investors believing in transitory inflation yesterday denting the US 10-year yield, Nasdaq 100 futures are not very bid this morning in early trading. This suggests that sentiment overall is weakening and investors are worried about China, global growth, and rising commodity prices which are soon hitting an all-time high. Nasdaq 100 futures are trading around the 15,400 level this morning, but if risk-off kicks in again the next support level is at 15,266.
Hang Seng (HI50.I) - today's macro figures from China, the news that Evergrande will not pay interest due 20 September, and the ongoing technology crackdown, are driving Hang Seng futures down 1.5% trading just above the 25,000 level. The next big support level is around 24,682 seen as pivotal for the rebound in August.
EURUSD – EURUSD trader might have been surprised at the reaction to the US CPI release, which came in lower than expected and saw US treasuries rally – EURUSD tried to rally back toward 1.1850, but surrendered the day's gains and rolled back over toward 1.1800, a choppy performance that represents the third day in a row of intraday moves finding rejection in a market lacking conviction. Given the important of yesterday's US data, this move may carry more weight in terms of sentiment and suggests the risk of a probe of the 1.1770 area lows, a break of which could open for a run to the range lows below 1.1700.
GBPJPY – yesterday looked like a potential key reversal day for many FX pairs aligned along the axis of risk, especially JPY pairs that are sensitive to US long treasury yields. With the release of the lower-than-expected US CPI data and rally in US treasuries, the JPY strengthened and GBPJPY reversed back hard to the downside after attempting an upside break above 152.65. Now the focus shifts to the 200-day moving average near 149.50, which is also close to the neckline of a well-defined head and shoulders formation.
Bitcoin (BITCOIN_XBTE:xome) and Ethereum (ETHEREUM_XBTE:xome) – Bitcoin and Ethereum are trading near the highs for the last week but need to show further gains to dig the price action out of the shadow of last week's sell-off, arguably starting with a move back above 50k for Bitcoin and perhaps 3,800 for Ethereum.
Gold (XAUUSD) trades above $1800 in response to lower Treasury yields after the US CPI print turned out to be lower than expected (see below). The FOMC meets next week with the market still expecting the bank could start tapering towards yearend. Gold's inability to find a path higher despite the tailwind from sub –1% real yields have left potential buyers sidelined waiting for a change in the macroeconomic outlook or a break above key resistance at $1835. With silver (XAGUSD) underperforming again, and with platinum's (XPTUSD) discount surging to 870 dollars following a near 10% drop, the prospect for gold to shine seems limited at this stage.
Crude Oil (OILUSOCT21 & OILUKNOV21) trades near a six-week high with the API reporting an across-the-board reduction in crude and fuel stocks last week, as post-hurricane Ida disruptions continue to impact production and refinery activity. China's latest attempt to curb prices by releasing 7.4m barrels of crude oil into the market on September 24 was shrugged off as small change, given the +30m barrels cut from temporary US production disruptions. However, the lack of fresh momentum following the break higher could indicate traders are in no rush to enter the market at current levels. Focus on today's EIA report with next resistance level in Brent at $76.15/b.
US Treasuries rally amid US CPI miss, yields might fall further amid retail sales drop on Thursday (IEF, TLT). The yield curve bull flattened with the 5s30s falling below 106 bps, a level previously seen almost a year ago. Ten-year yields fell as much as 6.4bps, while 30-year TIPS touched -0.40% a level previously seen in September 2020. Bullish sentiment was spurred by expectations the Federal Reserve will not taper until the November FOMC meeting. Also, strong demand for US Treasuries keeps yields compressed as this week coupon supply lacking, resuming only next week with the 20-year auction. Despite retail are expected to show another drop on Thursday, we don't expect yields to drop below 1.20%. It is more likely that the 10-year remain rangebound between 1.25% and 1.35% until next week's FOMC meeting.
European bond yields drop amid falling US Treasury yields (VGEA, BTP10, IS0L). Heavy bond supply led yield curves to steepen yesterday morning, but a strong 30-year BTPS auction caused yields to reverse their gains. The drop in yields in the euro area accelerated as yields began to drop in the US following the CPI miss. We can conclude that the dovish-taper delivered by the ECB last week was successful in limiting hawkish speculations, therefore sovereign bonds with a high beta benefit the most. Additionally, the correlation between Bund and US Treasuries continues to be a prevalent theme.
Gilts look vulnerable as inflation rises at the strongest pace in more than nine years (IGLT, GILS). UK inflation data this morning might turn the Bank of England hawkish at next week's monetary policy meeting. Yearly CPI rose 3.2% in the UK versus 2.9% expected, the highest pace in more than nine years. The MPC is already divided regarding whether the economy has reached economic conditions that warrant more aggressive policies, and this week strong jobs data and inflation numbers might lead the BOE to consider less accommodative policies. Within this context, ten-year Gilts trading at 0.74% look mispriced, and we expect them to rise above 0.80% ahead of the BOE next week.
U.S. August CPI lower than expected, but still uncomfortably high. CPI was out at 5.3% y/y versus prior 5.4% y/y. Excluding food and energy it was down more than expected at 4.0% y/y versus 4.2% y/y. The cost of used cars, which has attracted a lot of market attention in recent months, was down 1.5% m/m. It is too early to know whether this is a win for the transitory camp, in our view. Increased travel caution due to Covid-19 partially explains the slowdown in inflation (airline fare -9.1% m/m and car rental -8.5% m/m, for instance). The cost of living remains high. There are still a lot of concerns regarding transportation costs. And wage inflation is on the rise. In some U.S. states, McDonald's proposes a minimum wage of $18 per hour versus a federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. This is something to monitor closely.
China's Xi Jinping declined summit proposal from US President Biden - that was floated during a 90-minute phone call between the two leaders last week. Observers note that Xi Jinping has not left China for more than 600 days, the longest stint of any G20 leader.
China retail sales disappoints in August. Retail sales in the world's second largest economy came in at 2.5% y/y vs est. 7.0% y/y as mobility restrictions related to outbreaks of Covid-19 impacted consumer sentiment more than expected. Construction spending for the first eight months of the year showed a contraction which is related to both Evergrande and also the government's wish to curb leverage in the system.
China instructs banks that Evergrande will not pay interest due 20 September. Despite this announcement, Evergrande shares are down only 3% in today's Hong Kong session. With this news the restructuring process of Evergrande has begun. The crisis around Evergrande has caused the Chinese real estate market to slow down with home sales turning negative y/y in August which puts pressure on banks and credit formation in the Chinese economy. A spokesperson for the National Bureau of Statistics said today that other real estate developers are experiencing some level of stress and that the government is monitoring the situation.
Inditex reports 1H earnings. Revenue for the first six months (ending 31 July) of the fiscal year was €11.9bn up 49% y/y and in line with estimates and EBIT at €1.7bn was also in line with estimates. However, online sales grew only 36% driven of course by the huge pickup in stores reopening after the pandemic but some investors would like to see online sales growth to be above the overall sales growth to firmly believe in the transformation towards a more digital fashion brand.
What are we watching next?
Risk sentiment for US equities into this Friday's options expiry – the sell-off in US equities over the six sessions has been of a different nature than the monthly dips of the past four months, each of which was short and sharp and appeared related, in terms of timing, with the expiry of options on S&P stocks on the third Friday of the month (for this month, the options expiry this Friday is for futures and single stocks as well). This sell-off has been more of a grinding affair, with yesterday's close near an important trend-line in the S&P 500. It will be interesting to see if the market has proven too complacent if this trend-line breaks and if options-related leverage generates volatility as Friday's expiration approaches.

See the jar to your left? That is what I think an oil jar should look like…battle-scarred, even abused. Having a good quality hot chili oil around the kitchen is fundamental. If you like your oil, you will use it in your food preparations and garnishes, if you don't like your oil, you will blow it off. As well you should. To my taste, the oils available commercially are uninspiring. They are either way too hot (and lacking in flavor) or they are simply too one dimensional; they have chili, but nothing else.
The chili oil that we use around the house is loosely based off of the Sichuan way of doing business. For those of you not familiar with the cuisine, the Sichuan Province of China is host to intensely hot, deeply complex, pork and duck-infested, oil- and chili-fueled foods. I was surprised, when I started experimenting with this cuisine how unprepared I was to handle the crushing onslaught of heat and spice involved. After all, I eat some really highly spiced Thai and Southwest foods; thought I was a fire eater. I was wrong. These Sichuan cooks mean business. If you are looking for a good guide to this cuisine, you can not go wrong with Land of Plenty: A Treasury of Authentic Sichuan Cooking by Fuchsia Dunlop.
Oddly, the chili oil that forms the foundation of some of these dishes is sometimes the least incendiary part of the equation. It is rich, smooth and often carries deep undertones of flavor. Its role in the dish seems to be to carry complexity and depth of the spice profile; if you need heat, there are other more blunt tools available. The following recipe represents our current personal flavor profile. We built it to suit the foods that we prepare in-house. Once you have the basics down, build the oil that fits with the foods you cook. If you blow it, recycle the oil and try again. I would be highly surprised if my hot oil is the same two years from now. It needs to evolve to match your cooking.
I think that there are some cautionary notes that need to be mentioned here. The first time I prepared this type of oil about 22 years ago, it was remarkable. Remarkable is another way to say that I had to evacuate the small kitchen area in my Kirkland, Washington apartment for many hours, having been driven from the field with something close to respiratory failure. I didn't get treated for chemical pneumonia, but it felt like I should have. If you have ventilation, balcony, or windows, use it all. Similarly, this recipe relies on you adding very hot oil to glass; use a good quality canning glass or lab grade (like pyrex) for this and always make sure it is dry. I have not had the glass fail yet, but I do expect that it will happen some day.
Remove from heat and add ginger. Allow to sizzle briefly (seconds).
Pour infused oil into jar with remaining ingredients and stir two to three times. Allow to cool and cap.

Leading Tech Enterprise - HFCL To Set Up 2nd Model PM-WANI Village In Karnataka
* Project undertaken in collaboration with the Telecom Infra Project and i2e1 to power the Wi-Fi network in Baidebettu
Leading Indian Wi-Fi brand and one of the first TIP OpenWiFi compliant solutions provider, IO by HFCL, in collaboration with Telecom Infra Project (TIP), today announced setting up their 2nd PM-WANI powered connectivity for Baidebettu village in Karnataka. This PM-WANI network will provide high speed Wi-Fi Internet to over 9,000 residents of the otherwise poorly connected village located in Brahmavara Taluk, Udupi district.
The project entails setting up a robust outdoor Wi-Fi network for providing broadband Internet connectivity to the entire village population. The outdoor network will use HFCL IO's TIP OpenWiFi-based Access Points, Point-to-Point radios, Solar Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices and other network equipment. The Wi-Fi network authentication and regulatory monitoring will be powered by i2e1 core solutions who will also act as the Public Data Office Aggregator (PDOA) under the PM-WANI model. The network is expected to go live by July 31, 2021.
The integrated package being deployed is indigenously developed and built in India for high performance, is fully secure and designed to withstand and perform under harsh weather conditions including heavy rainfall that the village receives throughout the year.
The network will offer Wi-Fi Internet with bandwidth of up to 500 Mbps in all common areas of the village that is spread across a radius of 6 kilometers. Due to its remote location under high rainfall zone, and absence of IT and Internet infrastructure, Baidebettu presently does not have any reliable connectivity. As a result, villagers earlier would travel many kilometers to nearby towns to get digitally connected. Recent Covid-19 restrictions further impacted this travel and have severely affected their lives.
With this deployment, the entire village of 9,000 population will come under the broadband fold, which is expected to significantly improve their quality of life by providing them access to digital services such as healthcare, education, banking, retail, entertainment, government digital services and many more.
After the huge success of HFCL's first PM-WANI model village deployment, which was set up three months ago in the small remote village of Baslambi in Haryana, HFCL intends to replicate the model and once again demonstrate the strength of the PM-WANI concept powered by TIP's multi-vendor compatible OpenWiFi capabilities. HFCL believes that this will not only connect the residents of this remote village and offer them access to all digital services but also inspire other ISPs and solution providers to collaborate & innovate to address the two biggest challenges to rural connectivity - affordability and accessibility.
HFCL's Promoter & Managing Director, Mr. Mahendra Nahata said, "We at HFCL are committed to transforming #InternetForAll into a ubiquitous reality and have successfully collaborated with leading core solution providers to strengthen the connectivity ecosystem. After great success of our first model PM-WANI village in North India, where we deployed our robust, scalable, interoperable, and TIP OpenWiFi based Access Points to provide broadband access, we are now replicating the model in a remote village in Southern India. With this initiative, we believe students in the village will no longer need to travel to get connected and this would pave the way for every villager to stay connected and explore infinite possibilities to grow in all areas of life. This further demonstrates our faith in PM-WANI scheme as a significant enabler in connecting the remotest parts of the country."
TIP's Chief Engineer David Hutton said: "We are glad to have HFCL as an active participant of the TIP OpenWiFi community. It is heartening to see HFCL's enthusiasm and commitment to making multi-vendor Wi-Fi architecture a reality. HFCL's "Built in India" disaggregated OpenWiFi solutions in conjunction with PM-WANI demonstrates early success in employing TIP OpenWiFi to address the digital divide."
"We are pleased to associate with HFCL for yet another PM-WANI opportunity. It feels proud to be part of another HFCL's "Connect the Unconnected" initiative using their TIP OpenWiFi compliant solutions. This further emphasizes HFCL's commitment to make in India world class network equipment to connect the unconnected. This also demonstrates their faith in PM-WANI scheme as the key driver to provide broadband Internet access to all citizens of the country," said Satyam Darmora, Founder & CEO, i2e1.

About the Telecom Infra Project
The Telecom Infra Project (TIP) is a global community of companies and organizations that are driving infrastructure solutions to advance global connectivity. Half of the world's population is still not connected to the internet, and for those who are, connectivity is often insufficient. This limits access to the multitude of consumer and commercial benefits provided by the internet, thereby impacting GDP growth globally. However, a lack of flexibility in the current solutions - exacerbated by a limited choice in technology providers - makes it challenging for operators to efficiently build and upgrade networks. Founded in 2016, TIP is a community of diverse members that includes hundreds of companies - from service providers and technology partners, to systems integrators and other connectivity stakeholders. We are working together to develop, test and deploy open, disaggregated, and standards-based solutions that deliver the high quality connectivity that the world needs - now and in the decades to come.

Off the scale
The Prof Nutt row is obscuring the real issues.
The row over sacking Professor David Nutt has become intensely personal, to the point where media commentary and the stampede to take sides have obscured the issues at the heart of the debate. But whatever conflicts the home secretary perceived between Prof Nutt's role as ACMD chair and his right to speak frankly about government classification of drugs, the furore shouldn't deter us from confronting the issues he raised (pages 4 and 10). How we perceive drug harms not only affects legislation – as we have seen from former home secretary Jacqui Smith's statement that she needed to take into account public perception in the decision to upgrade cannabis to class B last year – but at a much wider level it affects our use of all drugs, including alcohol. Prof Nutt has become increasingly vocal about his intention to highlight the risks of our 'safe' legal drugs as much as to downplay the relative risks of some illegal drugs – the side of the argument that most popular media have got hold of and which became the big stick with which to beat him.
DDN's readership needs no convincing of alcohol harms, as this issue's news pages demonstrate once again. The Priory Group's survey (page 5) shows an astonishing level of ignorance about safe alcohol consumption limits. Would better education as part of a credible debate on all substances improve this situation? Who knows – it's not clear at the moment whether we will ever get past the government's own scale of harm, which many researchers are condemning as antiquated and irrelevant.
We have to be able to challenge received wisdom, which is why we've featured one of the most popular support mechanisms for recovery, in our cover story. While the 12-step self-help fellowships clearly work for many people, we isolate a particular group for whom they may do more harm than good. We'd be extremely interested in hearing your views.

Wisconsin Woman Licks Grocery Store Freezer Handle as 'Protest to the Coronavirus'
A Wisconsin woman allegedly licked the door handle of a grocery store freezer in an attempt to "protest" against the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.
The unidentified woman was said to have made the unsanitary gesture at a Festival Foods store in Marshfield, Wisconsin on Saturday afternoon as the store manager was disinfecting the freezer door handles, according to a police report obtained by Newsweek.
"While sanitizing handles in the freezer section store manager Marty reported looking over at a woman who proceeded to look at him and lick the door handle of a freezer door," the report stated.
The manager immediately cleaned the handle that had been licked before contacting police, who later confronted the woman.
"Contact was made with a 53 year old Marshfield woman who stated she licked the door handle in protest of the Caronavirus [sic]," the report continues. "The female states she has not used this method of protest at any other locations and was told her behavior was uncalled for."
Although the manager initially did not want to take any legal action against the woman, a no trespassing order was later requested after she "became confrontational with the store manager and law enforcement."
No further information about the incident was available at the time of publication.
Public health experts have warned that the highly infectious and potentially deadly virus will continue to spread out of control unless strict hygiene measures including frequently disinfecting surfaces like door handles are maintained.
Many areas in the U.S. have mandated a wide variety of stores and public gathering places be closed to stem the rising tide of the pandemic but grocery stores are considered essential businesses and typically exempted.
Health experts warn that licking any unsterilized surface poses serious risks for contracting a wide array of illnesses including the COVID-19 virus.
An aspiring social media influencer recently attempted to begin a "coronavirus challenge" by uploading a video of herself licking an airplane toilet seat in defiance of advice intended to minimize transmission of the disease.
Although the #CoronavirusChallenge hashtag did trend for a time, few followed the example of the would-be influencer and most activity was instead centered on either jokes or strategies to avoid spreading infection.
As cases of the virus continue to skyrocket in the U.S., there appears to be less tolerance for ignoring prevention measures like social distancing and downplaying the seriousness of the health threat posed by the pandemic.
Recent viral videos featuring college students on spring break at packed Florida beaches complaining about the inconveniences caused by measures intended to lessen the spread of disease drew widespread online outrage.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis refused to close the crowded beaches, although some were later closed by local authorities citing public health concerns.

2004 612 Scaglietti
Written by Steve Ahlgrim
Despite controversial styling, the 612's performance is Formula One: It reaches 60 mph in just over four seconds and tops out at 199 mph
{vsig}2006-4_1473{/vsig}
In naming its new four-seater Granturismo after Carrozzeria Scaglietti, Ferrari acknowledged the immense contribution made by its collaborator in the past 50 years. Founded by Sergio Scaglietti in 1951 and now a wholly owned subsidiary, the company has created many of Ferrari's most memorable cars.
The 612's brief called for a car capable of carrying four adults in comfort-rather than being merely a "2+2"-without sacrificing the superlative driving dynamics expected by dedicated Ferraristi. The 612 Scaglietti affords increased rear-seat knee room, almost three inches more headroom, and greater luggage space than its 456M forebear. Meeting this requirement, which involved moving the engine back, could only be achieved by means of an extended wheelbase, hence the generous stretch.
In styling the 612, Pininfarina paid homage to one of its most famous past creations-the fabulous 375MM commissioned by Italian filmmaker Roberto Rossellini for his wife, Ingrid Bergman-whose long nose and scalloped sides are echoed in the Scaglietti.
The 612 features an improved version of the 575M Maranello's 5,748-cc 65-degree V12 engine producing 540 bhp and 434 lb/ft of torque. The F1A transmission has undergone significant improvement, incorporating extra synchronization cones for swifter changes.
The interior of the 612 Scaglietti is dominated by stitched handcrafted leather and aluminum. This is a sporting, sophisticated interior that reflects the 612's high-tech soul and old-world pedigree. Dual-zone climate control and a specially developed nine-speaker Bose digital sound system are among the host of desirable standard features.
Effectively a new car, this 612 Scaglietti has a mere 250 delivery kilometres (150 miles) recorded. Purchased new by one of the world's foremost car collectors, it represents a fantastic opportunity to acquire one of these most exclusive Granturismos at a substantial saving over the list price of $247,850. It is appropriately finished in Grigio Ingrid with Cuoio leather upholstery, the perfect color combination. The manufacturer's guarantee commences in December 2005.

Business Outlook 2017: Cautious optimism replacing uncertainty for 2017
When you're a resource rich economy and one of your key sectors hits rock bottom, it's going to hurt. Such has been the case for Canada with stubbornly low oil prices throwing a dark shadow on this country's economy.
Yet against this backdrop, manufacturers have continued to operate and in some instances expanded their businesses. Indeed, for many who participated in two recent surveys conducted by Shop Metalworking Technology Magazine, you might describe their outlook as cautiously optimistic.
Investing for growth
In one recent survey, 50 per cent of the 258 participants noted they plan to hire employees for their manufacturing operations, while another 24 per cent noted they planned to expand operations. And when asked about machinery and equipment purchasing plans for 2017, close to 50 per cent said they would invest about the same as 2016, while 29 per cent said they would invest more, with 23 per cent noting they would invest less. Of particular note was the specific technologies participants expect to purchase in 2017. Among both chip and fabrication and welding shops, automation and robotics was cited as one of the leading areas of investment with 16 per cent of participants and 12 per cent respectively selecting this technology category. Among chip shops, machining centres was the top technology businesses plan to purchase in 2017 (17 per cent) and among fabrication and welding shops, welding equipment was the top choice (29 per cent).

What is clearly evident in the two surveys is that manufacturers are thinking about how best to compete in the future. In the second survey, in which 130 people participated, we asked which manufacturing technologies will dominate the global landscape in the next five to ten years. Close to 80 per cent noted robotics and automation, another 20 per cent identified Industry 4.0 platforms (e.g. digital manufacturing) and 23 per cent said additive manufacturing. And when asked which new technologies manufacturers have implemented or are considering, 64 per cent selected robotics and automation, 40 per cent said additive manufacturing and 20 per cent said digital manufacturing.

Much as been written about the strategies you need to succeed in manufacturing in Canada, but the truth is, there isn't one simple solution that fits every business. We asked participants what key strategies Canada should implement to ensure future growth. Lower corporate taxes and allocation of more funding for skills training were the top items, followed by allocation of more funding for manufacturing R&D.

Managing aluminum welds
Assessing when and how to repair aluminum MIG weld defects
by Mike Vandenberg
Due to its low melting point and the presence of an oxide layer on its surface, aluminum can be relatively tricky to weld. It is particularly prone to burn-through and distortion, not to mention it can have a difficult-to-control weld pool.

"Sunmachine" is a song by English electronic music trio Dario G. It was released on 31 August 1998 as the third and final single from the album of the same name. It is a reinterpretation of a section from the David Bowie song, "Memory of a Free Festival", from his 1969 album release of Space Oddity.

Background and writing
The idea for "Sunmachine" came about when the trio thought of putting a section of David Bowie's "Memory of a Free Festival" over an ambient version of "Sunchyme", but the band realised they wanted to do more with the track and that idea was scrapped. This early version, however, ended up becoming the album closer, "End of the Beginning".

The final "Sunmachine" track featured new instrumentation over Bowie's vocals. The band ran into problems with the song when they realized the section had too much instrumentation and they could not isolate the vocals. The band explained the idea of the song to Bowie, who fixed the problem by sending them the original master tape of the song, allowing the band to sample Bowie's vocals only.

The track features a flute-accompaniment by Bowie's producer, Tony Visconti.

Happy National Oatmeal Month! LOL, yes that is a thing! With the colder weather there is something about a baked breakfast dish that warms me up in the morning! I came across a recipe for a baked dish and added a few enhancements…and it was a hit to say the least!!
This dish is so fast to prep, you mix everything in one bowl and then pour into a baking dish. About 20-25 minutes later your new favorite breakfast will be ready!
Not only is it a fast recipe, it is also not loaded with sugar and fat. I used unsweetened almond milk and sugar free maple syrup. The protein powder also added an extra protein boost. Between the berries and the oatmeal, this bake will you keep you full and satisfied until lunch!
This oatmeal bake recipe makes about four servings with about 210 calories per serving (if you don't add in protein powder.) We had leftovers and they were just as good the next morning…plus it was already prepped so all I did was heat it up with some almond milk in the microwave for about a minute! You can always switch the berries or use more or less of a certain berry. Let me know what you think!
Feeling inspired? Enter the Bring Your Best Bowl challenge!! Good Luck!!

Brief on-point messages from the president.
Vice President's Message, November 2013
The most interesting person in my family tree is my Great Grandfather Joseph W. Sargent. The only information I had on Joseph's civil war record came from my mother. She was told that her grandfather was shot in the leg at the battle of the wilderness. I was able to get Joseph's military record from The National Archives in Washington, D.C.; this gave a more detail account of his time in the service.
I Joseph W. Sargent, born in the State of Maine, age 34 years, and by occupation a farmer, Do hear by acknowledge to have agreed with William H. Flagg Esq. of Bangor, Maine to become his SUBSTITUTE in the Military Service, for a sufficient consideration paid and delivered to me, on the second day of September 1863; and having thus agreed with said William H. Flagg, I do hereby acknowledge to have enlisted this Second Day of September 1863, to serve as a soldier in the Army of The United States of America, for a period of Three Years, unless sooner discharged by proper authority: I do also agree to accept such bounty, pay, ration, and clothing, as are, or may be established by law for soldiers. And I do solemnly swear that I will bear true and faithful allegiance to the United States of America; that I will serve them honestly and faithfully against all enemies or opposers whomsoever; of the Officers appointed over me, according to the Rules and Articles of War. I, Joseph W. Sargent, desiring to enlist in the Army of the United States for three years…
CASUALTY SHEET
Name: Joseph W. Sargent
Company: H
Regiment: 17th
Army: Infantry
Nature of casualty: wounded May 6 1864
From what source this information was obtained: Private J. W. Sargent was in the 1st Brigade, 3rd. Division, 2nd. Corps, dated from March 3 to July 1 1864. Private Sargent was wounded on May 6, 1864 in the battle of the Wilderness. Joseph was not wounded in the leg as I was told he was shot in the upper right side of the chest. Joseph spent the next 12 days in the hospital in Washington D.C. then was transferred to Baltimore, Maryland. On May 19, 1864 Joseph was Furlough for 30 days.
CHARGE DESERTION
Specification 1st. against:
Private Joseph W. Sargent
Co. H, 17th, Maine Vol.
Charge Desertion.
In this that he, Private Joseph W. Sargent, Co. H, 17th Maine Vol., having been duly enlisted and mustered into the Services of the United States on or about the 3rd. day of September 1863, for the term of three years, did absent himself from his Post, Company and Regiment without leave from proper authority, and desert said service at or near Bridgewater, Maine. Where he was when his leave expired on or about the 20th. Day of June, and remained absent without leave from proper authority until arrested at Houlton Me. as a deserter, on or about the 3rd. day of August 1864. Expense of arrest $8.75 this at or near Bridgewater, Maine.
Specification 2nd:
In this that he Private Joseph W. Sargent, Co. H, 17th Maine Vol., having been arrested and held in custody as a deserter from the military service of the United States, did escape from custody and again deserted said service at or near Augusta Me. in the month of August 1864 and remained absent without leave from proper authority until arrested as a deserter at or near Bridgewater, Maine on or about the 29th of October 1864, expenses of arrest $300.00 Reward.
Houlton Maine
I hear by certify that I have this day carefully examined Private Joseph W. Sargent H Co., 17th. Regt., Maine Vol. in furlough from U. S. Hospital, Washington, D .C. and find that the gunshot wound in the right side is not healed. Also a kick from a horse in the left knee is very swollen very bad, by reason of which he is not able to travel without endangering his life. I further declare my feeling that he will not be able to travel within the space of twenty days.
A.W. Bliss Surg.
Dept. Provost Marshal Captain Elijah Love 4th District Me. August 27, 1864.
Sirs, The bearer Joseph W. Sargent of Bridgewater in the County a member of Co. H, 17th. Reg., Vol. Is here without means of transportation I forward him by stage. Please have his transportation increased on his furlough and hand the money to the driver of Mattawamkeag Stage. Mr. Sargent met with a severe accident some three weeks since from the kick of a horse, which has prompted him from returning before.
Most Respectfully
Eben Woodburry
Dept. Prov. Marshal
From Aroostook, County
As I try to put this all together Joseph was to return back to duty on July 20th. 1864 but according to Dr. Bliss on July 4, 1864, he was kicked by a horse three weeks earlier on or about the 15th of June, five days before his furlough was up. Dr. Bliss also said Joseph's wounds had not healed sufficiently for him to travel safely. Because Joseph did not return on time the army listed him a deserter so they had the Prov. Marshall in Houlton check on him. By the time Joseph was well enough to return to duty in the fall all charges were cleared up as Joseph was transferred to Co. H. Heavy Art'y until his discharge on June 22, 1865 for disability.
One thing I try to do is look at this in the time of 1864 when travel and communication was slow. Also the battle of the Wilderness was very bad and I wonder if Joseph was in no big hurry to go back. I know when men went to war a large group went from each town and if one deserted it would be hard to go back home. I don't think this was the case with Joseph as he was wounded and sent home to heal but was not given enough time to recover from his wounds.
Respectfully submitted
Orlan Smith

Jacob Huber
Jacob was the son of Hans Huber and Barbel 'Barbara' Lier *(abt 1662 Uerzlikon, Kappel, Zürich, Switzerland- after 1700 Switzerland). Barbara's parents were Jagli Lier/ Luyer and Elsbeth Strebel. Jacob immigrated with his father to Lancaster County and took over the family homestead by 1745. He was married first to Anna (?). His second wife was Anna Leininger (1695-1738 Lancaster County PA). Anna was baptized in the Catholic Church on January 16 1695 at Kirchheimbolanden, Pfalz, Bayern, Switzerland. According to several online family trees, Anna Leininger was the daughter of Jacob Philippi or Phillipp Jacob Leininger (Feb 1 1627 Lichtenberg, Bas-Rhin, Alsace, France-Nov 1 1710 Mietesheim) and Anna Catherina (1648 Mietesheim, Bas-Rhin, Alsace, France-October 26, 1713 Mietesheim. Note that this would mean her father was about 68 years of age and her mother about 47 when she was born. It is more likely that Anna was the daughter of one of Jacob's older sons- Hans Phillipp Leininger (1677-April 24, 1741 Mietesheim) or Hans George Leininger (1678-July 14, 1733).
Jacob and Anna moved to Martic Township, where he took up a tract of several hundred acres of vacant land. He later built a grist mill which his son and grandson operated. In was subsequently known as Strohm' s Mill (rebuilt by David Strohm in 1784).
The known children of Jacob and his first wife were:
John Huber (abt 1723, New Holland, Earl Twp-April 1791 Earl Twp PA) married Margaret
Martin Huber (1725 Earl Twp-April 21 1785 Earl Twp) second wife was Magdalena Musser
Anna Huber Gingrich (abt 1720) married Joseph 'Yost' Gingrich
Maria Huber Eberly (1724 Earl Twp) married Jacob Eberly
Barbara Huber Stetzler (1722) married Philip Stetzler
Margaret Huber Winter (1733) married John Winter
The known children of Jacob and his second wife Anna Leininger were:
Catherine Huber (abt 1734)
Christian Huber (abt 1740 PA)
Mary Magdalene Huber (abt 1742 Earl Twp)
Jacob Huber Born (abt 1746 Lanc Co PA-Nov 30 1808 Martic Twp PA) married Barbara
Mathias Huber (1748 Earl Twp-Oct 25 1825 Hoover Gap TN) married Maria Gfeller
Jacob died in Martic, Providence Township, Lancaster County. Burial location on the family homestead in Martic was described by Harry M. Hoover, The Huber-Hoover Family History (1928), page 45.
Note~year of birth is an estimate based on the consensus of family trees that Jacob was born in Germany or Switzerland between 1698 and 1700.
*Some family trees have Margaret Koch (1672-1845) as his mother. Margaret would have to be his father's second wife.
Genealogy of Jacob's father and his wives (not on Findagrave):
(1)married Barbel 'Barbara' Lier (abt 1662 Uerzlikon, Kappel, Zürich, Switzerland - died after 1700) on September 2 1685 in Hausen, Zürich, Switzerland [extensive Lier/Huber/Neff ancestry of Barbara is at Rootsweb on the scrupulously researched tree done by Janet and Robert Wolfe*. Or, viewable by surname at http://www-personal.umich.edu/~bobwolfe/gen/surnamesL.htm]
Known children of Hans and Barbel:
Jacob Huber (abt 1698/1700-
Anna Huber (before Feb 21 1686)
Hans Heinrich Huber (abt 1687)
Barbara Huber (abt 1691)
Hanseli Huber (abt 1696)
(2)married Margaret Koch (1672/76 Schwarenegg, Switzerland) in about 1700 in Switzerland and immigrated to America together (his first wife Barbel was alive in 1700)
Known children of Hans and Margaret (Jacob's half-siblings):
6-Catharine Huber (1704)
7-Magdalena Huber (1706)
8-Margaret Huber (1708)
9-Christiana Huber (abt 1711 Switzerland-1802 PA) married Samuel Groff (1708 Switzerland - 1774 York Co. PA), then George Bear (abt 1715 - 1811 )
10-Anna Elizabeth Huber (Jan 23 1712-1779) married Marcus Groff (Aug 1712 Germantown, Philadelphia, PA-Nov 2 1791 Earl Twp, Lancaster County, PA)
*The information regarding the first marriage of Hans Huber seems to be from this published research~
Jane Evans Best, "Swiss Roots of the Neff, Weber, and Huber Families," Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage 13 (October, 1990), pgs 16-31.
IMPORTANT NOTE~After this memorial was tediously researched and written up, a duplicate memorial wrongly placed as a 'non-cemetery burial' location was discovered. Those types of unknown burials do NOT show up when doing a search for existing Huber memorials anywhere in the entire state of Pennsylvania. I linked daughter Maria to her mother, 'Mrs. Jacob Huber'. But this memorial remains to her father as it was correctly labeled in the Huber Family Cemetery. He is a very significant immigrant ancestor to many and this information on my memorial is provided to note discrepancies in his birth family (specifically noting his father's two wives). The other contributor also IGNORED my polite correspondence suggesting we merge our memorials into one.

Drugs like heroin, morphine, and other potent opioid drugs are all traced back to a single plant known as the opium poppy. The plant has been followed back to the earliest years of human civilization. Opium use was widely known in ancient Mesopotamia, and the drug has been used both recreationally and medicinally for centuries. Derivatives of the plant, such as morphine, became widely used pain relievers in the 1800s.
During this time, heroin was synthesized to be a pain reliever until medical professionals became aware of how addictive the drug is. While morphine boasts similar characteristics and can be addictive, it does provide therapeutic benefits that make it a useful treatment for acute pain after an injury.
Morphine, however, is an extremely addictive opioid painkiller that produces euphoric effects when it attaches to the opioid receptors in the brain. The drug works by decreasing the sensation of pain that could be the result of a traumatic injury. Morphine is commonly used in a hospital setting for this reason.
The drug was initially synthesized in the early 1800s by Friedrich Sertürner, and drug conglomerate Merck in 1827 marketed it. In recent times, it has been manufactured for many variations of opioid drugs such as hydromorphone, oxymorphone, and heroin.
While morphine addiction is less common today when thinking of the opioid crisis, it is still a drug that is widely used in a hospital setting that can be a factor in someone falling to opioid addiction. Morphine is among the purest and most potent opiate drugs on the market, but it can be hazardous when using, and morphine withdrawal can be extremely unpleasant.
Morphine withdrawals will vary from one individual to another based on many different factors. Some of these include:
The amount of morphine that was being consumed
The route of administration (orally, intravenously, etc.)
If morphine is used with other drugs
How long they have been using morphine
Someone who consumes smaller doses of morphine will experience less severe withdrawal symptoms than someone who uses a lot. While the exact symptoms will be similar, the severity will vary. Morphine is a potent substance, and the withdrawal symptoms can be enough to scare someone away from stopping the use of it.
Some of the most common morphine withdrawal symptoms a user can experience once they build a tolerance and dependence include:
Inability to concentrate
Cold sweats
Flu-like symptoms such as a runny nose
Whole body itchiness
Pupil dilation
While morphine withdrawal is not considered life-threatening as you'd expect from benzodiazepines or alcohol, there still can be complications if other drugs are present in the process. If either of the two drugs previously listed is present during withdrawal, it can lead to fatal or near-fatal consequences.
One aspect of morphine withdrawal that must be kept in consideration is how it can aggravate pre-existing medical conditions. The withdrawal process comes with uncomfortable symptoms, but if you have a medical condition, the stress withdrawals can tack on create unexpected health complications.
Talk to a treatment expert
Morphine withdrawal symptoms will continually increase after the last dose of the medication is consumed. While the likelihood of a fatality as a result of withdrawal is low, the process will make you feel ill, which can be life-threatening. Withdrawal symptoms can be so severe at times that you can't get out of bed, eat, or sleep for weeks. Unfortunately, this is a part of morphine addiction. On a hopeful note, morphine addiction can be treated by professionals to mitigate the risks and help transition you into recovery.
Morphine is classified as a fast-acting drug, and the withdrawal symptoms will set in quickly after your lost dose. The symptoms will vary from one person to another, but it is typical for acute symptoms to appear between the first three to 12 hours after the last dose. Early morphine withdrawal symptoms include:
Yawning
The initial symptoms are mild and may be overlooked, but as the withdrawal process marches forward, it will become evident that you are experiencing morphine withdrawal instead of the flu.
Over the next few days following your last dose of morphine, symptoms will begin to increase in severity. Morphine withdrawals typically peak within 48 to 72 hours after the last dose. The physical effects during morphine withdrawal include:
Heightened blood pressure
Excessive sneezing
Intense cravings for morphine
During this span, it may feel as though you are can't move forward without using the drug. The side effects are unpleasant enough to push a user into relapse.
At the peak of the withdrawal is when most users will give in to their temptations. To stop the symptoms of withdrawal, the user may feel they have no other option than to use the drug to feel better. It makes this portion of morphine withdrawal dangerous because it is difficult for morphine users to stop using the substance without medical intervention.
After seven to 10 days, the physical symptoms should begin to subside. Emotional aspects, however, such as post-acute withdrawal syndrome (PAS) may remain. PAWS has the potential to last several months or even years after abstaining from morphine, and it almost unavoidable without professional support and guidance. Anxiety and depression are catalysts for relapse, and seeking treatment should be considered.
Morphine detox at home is not ever recommended. Overdosing is quite possible as sensitivity, or intolerance, for the drug's effects rises, and tolerance for them decreases. Medical detox at an accredited addiction treatment center is strongly encouraged. Quitting morphine "cold turkey" is one of the most difficult obstacles to overcome, and it is imperative that you seek medical detoxification if you have decided that you want to stop using the drug.
Detoxing in a medical facility while surrounded by addiction specialists can help you achieve your goal of overcoming addiction. Detox will also allow you to be much more comfortable and have medications to alleviate the uncomfortable symptoms you are going to experience.
Once you have completed detox, the team will have assessed and determined the next level of care.
Once you've committed yourself to treatment, addiction specialists will encourage you to continue care and attend a long-term program. Long-term programs consist of residential treatment and outpatient programs that you should attend when finishing detox. Residential treatment programs are essential at the beginning of recovery due to the number of psychological and physical effects of addiction. Common programs you can expect to participate in include:
Addiction education
Group or individual therapy
You must complete the entire process of recovery, especially in the early stages. The transition from active addiction to abstinence can be difficult and met with unsuccessful attempts. Your life is meaningful, and ensuring you remain sober should be at the top of the priority list.

Volunteers sifting through leopard seal poop in New Zealand made an unexpected discovery: A USB drive filled with vacation photos.
Scientists found a USB memory stick that had been sitting in a slab of frozen leopard seal poop for over a year.
Volunteer researchers sifting through leopard seal poop in New Zealand made an unexpected discovery inside one of the samples: A USB drive filled with vacation photos. Now, they're searching for the owners of the drive.
The sample in question had been sitting in a freezer for more than a year at the National Instiute of Water Atmospheric Research (NIWA), sent to the organization by a local veterinarian taking care of a skinny leopard seal.
No photos on the drive of were of people, and the nose of a blue kayak is the organization's sole clue as to who might own the USB drive.
The organization will only give over the device, however, if the owner delivers it more seal poop.
Researchers study the seal feces to find out more about them, like what they eat, their health and the amount of time they've been in New Zealand waters.


SPRINGFIELD � Several Springfield School District students were honored at the Martin Luther King Jr. celebration in a contest that recognizes achievement in writing and art. Students presented their work for judging during the King holiday celebrations.
Maykayla Collins, Heidi Cisneros-Sanchez, Kilona Loyd, Sasha Hansen, Jacob Hill and Megan Bernatzki won for art; Jordan Branford and Jacob Hepner for multimedia; and Alexia Smith for speech.
A list of winners, their teachers and the schools they attend is at www.sps.lane.edu.
Roosevelt Middle School sixth-graders Jonah Kreitzberg and Henry Lininger won first place in the Irvine Valley Classic debate tournament on Jan. 7 in Irvine, Calif.
Lininger also finished as third-place speaker overall, and Kreitzberg finished as fourth-place speaker.
SPRINGFIELD � The Oregon School Boards Association has recognized Springfield School District board member Laurie Adams for her service to public education. Adams serves on the OSBA board. The association includes members from each of the state�s 197 local school districts, 19 education service districts and 17 community colleges.
PLEASANT HILL � A Pleasant Hill School District youth LEGO robotics team won recognition at the Intel Oregon FIRST LEGO League Championship Tournaments, held Jan. 14 and 15 at Liberty High School in Hillsboro.
The Phantastic Mechanics of Pleasant Hill took home the Radisys Strategy and Innovation award after competing with 117 other teams from Oregon and Southwest Washington.
The teams participating in the championship represent the top 30 percent of over 400 teams who excelled at qualifying tournaments in December. Each team of 9- to 14-year-olds programmed their custom-made robot to compete on various robot missions, focused on this year�s theme of food safety.
The team members are Aurora Duncan, Malakye Plummer, Luke Rodrigues, Nathan Faber, Gabe Placko, Dylan Hammond, and Logan Parrish. They were coached by Rick Faber.
SPRINGFIELD � Three Springfield middle schools recently held National Geographic Bees.
Ben Hale, an eighth-grader, won the Thurston Middle School contest in December.
The winner from Agnes Stewart Middle School�s contest was eighth-grader Josh Ellington.
At Hamlin Middle School, the winner was Dillon Wymore, a seventh-grader.
The winners will go on to take a qualifying test to determine whether they move on to the state bee in late March. State winners are invited to National Geographic headquarters in May to compete for scholarships in the national bee.

Q: How to find the sum of prior amounts for an year including the current amount I need to get the sum of current with Previous amount of that specific year for the 2nd entry.
Input_table
+-----------+----------+-------------+-----------+----------+
| ID        | Name     | Date1       |Date 2     |amount    |
+-----------+----------+-------------+-----------+----------+
| 10000000  | ABC      | 11/2/2017   |**11/2/2018**  |2504      |
| 10000000  | ABC      | 12/20/2017  |**11/2/2018**  |-2174     |
| 10000000  | ABC      | 10/05/2018  |10/05/2019 |1234      |
| 10000000  | ABC      | 10/06/2019  |10/06/2020 |3456      |
+-----------+----------+-------------+-----------+----------+

Here's the desired output:
+-----------+----------+-------------+-----------+----------+
| ID        | Name     | Date1       |Date 2     |amount    |
+-----------+----------+-------------+-----------+----------+
| 10000000  | ABC      | 11/2/2017   |**11/2/2018**  |2504      |
| 10000000  | ABC      | 12/20/2017  |**11/2/2018**  |329       |
| 10000000  | ABC      | 10/05/2018  |10/05/2019 |1234      |
| 10000000  | ABC      | 10/06/2019  |10/06/2020 |3456      |
+-----------+----------+-------------+-----------+----------+

Record 3 amount - 1234 (1234+0(no records in that year)) as date 2 is different
Record 4 amount - 3456 (3456+0(no records in that year)) as date 2 is different
I'm Looking for sum of current,previous amount value for a record if date 2 of both records are same. Say if we have 3 records with same date 2 value. then first record should have its actual amount value , 2 nd record should have first record amount + 2 record amount and 3 record would have 1st record amount +2 nd record amount+3rd record amount.

A: I've made some considerable assumptions here. Mainly, that you want to see if the current record's "Date2" value exists somewhere in "Date1" for the previous year (e.g. Date2: 11/02/2018 is looking if Date1: 11/02/2017 exists) and that the ID and Name columns have some sort of relevance in filtering the data.
Here's what I worked with in SSMS:
-- Create sample data.

DECLARE @Data TABLE (
    ID VARCHAR(10), [Name] VARCHAR(3), Date1 DATE, Date2 DATE, Amount DECIMAL(18,2)
);

INSERT INTO @Data ( ID, [Name], Date1, Date2, Amount ) VALUES
( '10000000', 'ABC', '11/2/2017', '11/2/2018',  2504),
( '10000000', 'ABC', '12/20/2017', '11/2/2018',  -2174),
( '10000000', 'ABC', '10/05/2018', '10/05/2019',  1234),
( '10000000', 'ABC', '10/06/2019', '10/06/2020',  3456);

-- Query sample data

SELECT
    MyData.ID, MyData.[Name], MyData.Date1, MyData.Date2, MyData.Amount
    , ISNULL( LastYear.Amount, 0 ) AS PreviousYear
    , ( MyData.Amount + ISNULL( LastYear.Amount, 0 ) ) AS NewAmount
FROM @Data AS MyData
OUTER APPLY (

    SELECT
        SubData.Amount AS Amount
    FROM @Data AS SubData
    WHERE
        SubData.ID = MyData.ID
        AND SubData.[Name] = MyData.[Name]
        AND SubData.Date1 = DATEADD( yy, -1, MyData.Date2 )
        AND SubData.Date1 <> MyData.Date1   -- A weak attempt to exclude the current MyData record. Really needs a unique id.

) AS LastYear
ORDER BY
    MyData.Date2;

-- Returns
+----------+------+------------+------------+----------+--------------+-----------+
|    ID    | Name |   Date1    |   Date2    |  Amount  | PreviousYear | NewAmount |
+----------+------+------------+------------+----------+--------------+-----------+
| 10000000 | ABC  | 2017-11-02 | 2018-11-02 | 2504.00  | 0.00         | 2504.00   |
| 10000000 | ABC  | 2017-12-20 | 2018-11-02 | -2174.00 | 2504.00      | 330.00    |
| 10000000 | ABC  | 2018-10-05 | 2019-10-05 | 1234.00  | 0.00         | 1234.00   |
| 10000000 | ABC  | 2019-10-06 | 2020-10-06 | 3456.00  | 0.00         | 3456.00   |
+----------+------+------------+------------+----------+--------------+-----------+

Ideally, the queried table has a PK that can be used to exclude the current record from being included (note the weak attempt to use Date1).
The same example using a PK (unique id):
DECLARE @Data TABLE (
    ID VARCHAR(10), [Name] VARCHAR(3), Date1 DATE, Date2 DATE, Amount DECIMAL(18,2), pk_PrimaryKey INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY
);

INSERT INTO @Data ( ID, [Name], Date1, Date2, Amount ) VALUES
( '10000000', 'ABC', '11/2/2017', '11/2/2018',  2504),
( '10000000', 'ABC', '12/20/2017', '11/2/2018',  -2174),
( '10000000', 'ABC', '10/05/2018', '10/05/2019',  1234),
( '10000000', 'ABC', '10/06/2019', '10/06/2020',  3456);

SELECT
    MyData.ID, MyData.[Name], MyData.Date1, MyData.Date2, MyData.Amount
    , ISNULL( LastYear.Amount, 0 ) AS PreviousYear
    , ( MyData.Amount + ISNULL( LastYear.Amount, 0 ) ) AS NewAmount
FROM @Data AS MyData
OUTER APPLY (

    SELECT
        SubData.Amount AS Amount
    FROM @Data AS SubData
    WHERE
        SubData.ID = MyData.ID
        AND SubData.[Name] = MyData.[Name]
        AND SubData.Date1 = DATEADD( yy, -1, MyData.Date2 )
        AND SubData.pk_PrimaryKey <> MyData.pk_PrimaryKey

) AS LastYear
ORDER BY
    MyData.Date1;

Anyway, this is my best guess based on what little information I had to go on. Hopefully this can get you moving in the right direction.

Q: How to check the status of Platform Developer I Certification Maintenance (Summer '18) completion Can anybody answer my question I have received a mail stating that I have to complete the maintenance exam for salesforce with link to Trailhead. I have completed the Platform Developer I Certification Maintenance (Summer '18) quiz in trailhead. Is that the only exam I have to appear for to maintain the certificate?
How can I check the status that I have completed the exam?

A: I definitely agree with the other answers posted that going to the Trailhead verification link and submitting your email will verify your status. Something to be mindful of is that you need to make sure your Trailhead and Webassessor accounts are linked. You can verify this from the same email and there is more information here regarding the actual status verification email.
Nonetheless, after doing exactly this, I found that even after doing the maintenance quiz on Trailhead, and verifying my accounts were linked, my status still did not update. I was only able to solve the problem by submitting a support request stating that I had verified that my accounts were linked and that I have completed the maintenance trail but was not seeing this reflected in my status verification. Trailhead support were then able to fix this on their end.

A: Go to Trailhead Verification link and select Certification Holders: Check Your status by entering your email and then Request. Complete the captcha and you will get an email listing your all certifications and their status. This will have a subject of 'Your credential status' as below.
It takes some time for the updates to show, as I found that I didn't see the exam completion till the next day.

A: If you have completed Platform Developer I Certification Maintenance (Summer '18) module you can check your certification status using Verify Credentials. Provide your trailhead email id and request. Status will be send to your mail id.

Jordy Ray Nelson (born May 31, 1985) is an American football wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League. He was drafted by the Packers in the second round of the 2008 NFL Draft. He played college football at Kansas State.
Nelson was born in Manhattan, Kansas, and played high school football at Riley County High School, in Riley, Kansas. During his senior year, he connected on 62 percent of his passes for 1,029 yards and eight touchdowns. He also rushed for 1,572 yards, averaging 9.8 yards per carry with 25 touchdowns. He was named Flint Hills Player of the Year by the Manhattan Mercury and was a two-time first-team All-Mid-East League selection. Nelson was a first team 3A all-state football player and earned Top 22 honors in the state of Kansas as a quarterback/defensive back. In 2003, he played in the Kansas Shrine Bowl. Nelson was also an outstanding track and field athlete winning the 100 (10.63), 200 (21.64), 400 (48.79) and long jump (22-09.50) titles his senior year in Class 3A. He was also an all-state basketball player averaging 17.2 points per game his senior year for the Falcons. Nelsons older brother Mike, a 2002 graduate of Riley, was also an all-state basketball and football player.
Nelson began his college career as a walk-on at Kansas State University, and took his redshirt year on the 2003 Big 12 Championship team. Nelson was set to play defensive back in college, but during spring practice following his first year, Coach Bill Snyder moved him to wide receiver. During his sophomore campaign, Nelson caught 45 passes for 8 touchdowns, elevating expectations for the junior wide receiver, as he was listed on the Biletnikoff Award watch list. Injuries kept him off the field most of his junior year, leading to a disappointing junior season, in which he only caught 39 balls for 1 touchdown.

Тоні Найдоський ( 4 травня 1970) – македонський шахіст і шаховий суддя, гросмейстер від 1998 року.

Шахова кар'єра
На перетины 1980-1990-х років брав участь у міжнародних турнірах у Новому Сады (1989), Белій Цркві (1989), Москві (1990), Баку (1991), Бледі (1991) і Будапешті (1991), не досягнувши якихось успіхів і не одержавши навіть міжнародного рейтингу Ело. У рейтинговому списку ФІДЕ з'явився тільки 1 липня 1996 року, одразу з дуже високим результатом 2410 очок. Наступні турнірні партії провів майже через два роки, проте, упродовж лише одного 1998 року набрав 166 очок і отримав звання гросмейстера (у рейтинг-листі ФІДЕ від 1 січня 1999 року навіть перебував на 121-122-му місці в світі з результатом 2576 очок). Потім відбулось резке падіння рейтингу (2492 пункт у рейтинг-листі від 1 липня 2000 року), а впродовж наступних шести місяців пробився в першу сотню у світі, з результатом 2601 точок (ділив 90-91-ше місце в на 1 січня 2001 року). Останній турнір в кар'єрі провів у травні 2002 року в Москві, де посів 3-тє місце позаду Арама Гагаряна і Аркадія Вула (які на той час мали титули міжнародних майстрів).

В одній з найбільших шахових таз ChessBase Megabase 2008 (яка містить майже 4 мільйони партій) є лише 15 партій шахіста з більш ніж 200, які він провів у 1996-2002 роках. Це партії за 1999 і 2000 роки, із них 10 це поразки від суперниками, які мають набагато нижчий рейтинг: від Моніки Грабіч (2304, Будапешт 1999, всього за 22 ходи), три поразки від гравців з рейтингами 2379, 2346 і 2200 (Санглі 2000) і шість поразок на турнірі в Калькутті (2000, від гравців з рейтингами 2424, 2412, 2356, 2306, 2292 і 2257). Ці результати, а також відсутність записів партій з турнірів, у яких виконав гросмейстерські норми, можуть свідчити про шахрайські способи їх виконання, що було приводом для порівняння з "досягненнями" Александру Крішана

is there a website i could go to for info... rules, specs, thing of that sort.
i wish to use my QB 79 to start shooting HFT. my very first question would be what does the gun have to shoot of in the ft-lb area. and scope choice.
bushnell 3-9x32 it hit what ever its sighted in at.
Very shortly, I believe, we will have a few sticky's that will answer your questions. Shoot rules, dates and times for 2008 competitions, etc.
Our shoot rules will give detailed information on Hunter Field Target. As to answer your questions would take too much space, I hope you are ok to wait just a short time until the sticky arrives.
By the way, a new web page is under construction and should be listed soon.
- Scopes: Your scope should be fine for Hunter class. The maximum magnification allowed for Hunter class is 15x.
- Points System: For Hunter class 1 point for a hit anywhere on the target face. 2 points if you shoot though the kill zone and the target falls over.
- Power Levels: A maximum muzzle energy of 20fpe is the set limit generally. There is no minimum limit. But target will only be guaranteed to fall down to 5 foot pounds of energy, likely. One of the other governors and I have been discussing this. The most common power levels for Field Target shooters are from 11.5-19.5 foot pounds of muzzle energy, and they will never shoot a pellet below 5fpe at the longest ranges we have. Some targets will likely fall with less impact energy, but 5 will likely be the verbal guarantee. We will go as low as we can without the target being prone to false falls when hit with a high power gun at short distances.
- Target Distances: Will range from 10-55 yards. Distances are not told, and Hunter class shooters have to guess the distance and aim accordingly.
- Targets: Are made of metal and designed to fall over when a pellet passes through a hole in the face place and strikes the paddle behind the face of the target. The targets are reset with a heavy dacron line (up to 200lb line), or a planner line used on fishing planner boards. Others use contractors line, but it seems to have more stretch, making it a little harder to pull the targets up.
Keep an eye out for new sticky that will cover the rules and shoot dates.
wow thanks eric and CJN lots of info there, i dont think ill be making it out to any competitions as i am in school and reserves which takes up a lot of my time. i am going to start practising with co2 and HPA, distances, pellet types, and different wind variables as soon as the cold weather breaks up a bit. and start charting what does what. i also have to see what my QB is running to see if it is up to the task.

The U.S. consumer market is changing. That's especially true for millennials, who are increasingly renting instead of owning. And not just with homes.
"Our customer base started with millennials and are the typical early adopters, but it's evolved over time," said Brett Northart, co-founder and president of Le Tote.
Northart is the president of Le Tote, a women's clothing rental business. It's one of several companies in the billion-dollar clothing rental space, which is expected to grow significantly over the next few years.
The company is part of what's known as the sharing economy, where consumers share or rent goods and services. It's not a new concept, but it is growing like never before — highlighting a change in the way consumers feel about ownership.
"There's sort of a cultural moment around minimizing our possessions and attachments, which I think is rooted in some really positive, introspective sorts of reflections but does, I think, ultimately shift a lot of power to the companies to control access to those resources that we're all paying for," said Aaron Perzanowski, author of "The End of Ownership: Personal Property in the Digital Economy."
Renting has typically been viewed as a cheaper alternative, at least in the short-term. And traditional retailers, many of which are wary of the large number of retail store closings, are catching on. It was recently announced that Lord & Taylor — America's oldest department store — would be purchased by Le Tote, following a period of declining sales.
"The entire landscape really shifted underneath the feet of the traditional retailers and you have a lot of people who grew up in this physical retail world that have never seen a massive shift or a disruption like this," Northart said.
The evolution of the sharing economy is frequently attributed to advanced technology, allowing people to rent a dress or a car or a spare room from their smartphones. But experts say other economic factors are at play, too.
"In a time where people have less disposable income as a result of income and wealth inequality, we have people who are deciding to rely on temporary access to resources rather than owning those resources outright," Perzanowski said.
