Will 28 Dec 1840 Harrison County, Kentucky [42, 43]
Will is written
Francis Robinson Last Will and Testament
A text file transcription of The Last Will and Testament of Francis Robinson recorded in Harrison County, Kentucky.
Francis Robinson's Last Will and Testament
An image of the original Last Will and Testament made in Harrison County, Kentucky by Francis Robinson and recorded in Will Book D, pages 365-366.
Died 31 Dec 1840 Harrison County, Kentucky [44]
Buried Between 31 Dec 1840 - Jan 1841 Harrison County, Kentucky [45]
The NSSAR, which appears to have obtained this information from the NSDAR, provide a burial location for Francis Robinson as being in the Raven Creek Cemetery. While Raven Creek Cemetery is absolutely in close proximity to where Francis Robinson lived, I believe that the burial location is actually in one of the several family plots of the Robinson/Thompson and associated families.
I have provided a book source that does suggest a family plot and gives directions to it.
NSSAR Patriot Grave Search: https://memberinfo.sar.org/patriotsearch/search.aspx
Which is in disagreement with the book reference S954 in this tree database, "Abstract of Graves of Revolutionary Patriots", Vol 1-4. http://tree.schimka.com/showsource.php?sourceID=S954&tree=schimka
Further evidence of Francis Robinson's burial NOT being in the Raven Creek Cemetery is the application that Milford Readnower made to the U.S. Government for a burial marker in which Milford states that the grave was in the front yard of an old home. Whether that was in the front yard of Francis' old home or an old home that existed at that time, is unclear. The marker was ordered and shipped to Milford but I do not know if it was ever placed.
The following is from a post on RootsWeb at this URL: http://listsearches.rootsweb.com/th/read/ROBINSON/2004-05/1083679651
If anyone can confirm this please let me know. Milford Readnower did order a military headstone for Francis Robinson's grave back in the 1930s.
"Francis,
I think that I may have written to you in the past, and would like to say that the Benjamin Robinson mentioned in your posting is the son of Frances and Mary (Polly) Terrill. Also mentioned were the wife and son of Benjamin. William is the one who was killed in Cynthiana when Morgan made his raid through there in 1862. I think that I also have a list of the others that are buried in that cemetery that someone sent to me. Also have pictures of the mentioned stones, and others that I took while I was there. Did you also know that Frances was buried in the front yard of the house where they lived, and is said to have a military stone. The house was supposed to be about 1/2 mile down from that cemetery, but have never been back there to find it. Frances is a descendant of Christopher Robinson of Hewick. I am a descendant of Sarah, who is the sister to Benjamin."
Application for Headstone for Francis Robinson's grave
In 1936 Milford Readnower, 2nd Great Grandson of Francis Robinson, made application for a military headstone from the government to mark the grave of Francis Robinson. The stone was shipped December 5th, 1936.

In 1850 Jane was enumerated along with Benjamin's family still bearing her maiden name.

For researchers of African American ancestors who were enslaved I provide the following list of slaves by their known names that I have found in the records of my ancestor, Francis Robinson. The following list comes from the Last Will and Testament of Francis Robinson (a full digital copy is attached to the profile of Francis Robinson in this family tree) in which he outlined a transfer of ownership of what appears to have been all of his slaves, because I did not find any reference to slaves in the estate sale. In all cases, the slaves were transferred to his immediate family members and specifically to his child and vehemently denies ownership to any of his children's spouses and forbade the use of the slaves as collateral on any existing or future debt.
Name	(Gender)	Known ownership, sale or other transfer
George	(M)	Transferred to his son, William Robinson in Will
Lewis	(M)	Transferred to his son, Benjamin Robinson in Will
Hamett	(F)	Transferred to his daughter, Nancy Robinson, who married Joseph Dunn, in Will
Amanda	(F)	Transferred to his daughter, Sarah Robinson, who married Arthur McCann, in Will
Melvina	(F)	Transferred to his daughter, Elender Robinson, who married Jacob Readower, in Will
Milly	(F)	Transferred to his daughter, Mary Robinson, who married William Collier, in Will
Fanny	(F) and her child Rankin (U)	Transferred to his daughter, Frances Robinson, who married Thomas T. Thompson, in Will
Hubbord	(M)	Transferred to his son, Samuel Robinson in Will
Clara	(F)	Transferred to his daughter, Jane Robinson in Will (Note: In Francis Robinson's Will he states that Clara is currently hired out to his son William for a term of four years at a rate of $30 per year which is to be paid to his said daughter, Jane Robinson. Note also that Jane was mentally handicapped and after her father's death, she lived with her older brother, Benjamin Robinson probably up to the time of her death 1 September 1852. If Clara were still living at the time of Jane's debt, it seems likely that she would have been transferred to her brother's estate since Jane was never married).
Researchers should also read the "Stringtown History" which is also attached to the profile page of Francis Robinson. In it, there is reference to slaves being brought with the Robinson and Thompson families when they moved to Kentucky in 1817 from Virginia. The families appear to have left from the vicinity of Orange County, Virginia then to Boone County, Kentucky in 1817 and finally Harrison County, Kentucky in 1818. Prior to the relocation to Kentucky, Francis lived most of the time in Spotsylvania and Stafford Counties in Virginia as stated in his Revolutionary War Pension file (also attached to Francis Robinson's profile page).
Concerning Fanny and her child Rankin:
The 1850 Slave Enumeration recorded my ancestor Thomas T. Thompson, husband of Frances Robinson who was the daughter of Francis Robinson, as the owner of two slaves. One female about 50 years old (Color - B) and one male child of about 15 years of age (Color - M). It is likely that these are the same Fanny and Rankin and that Rankin's father was white, mulatto.
The 1860 Slave Enumeration recorded my ancestor Thomas T. Thompson, husband of Frances Robinson who was the daughter of Francis Robinson, as the owner of four slaves. One female about 58 years old (Color - B); One male slave about 24 years old (Color - M); One female slave about 18 years old (Color - M); One male slave 11 months old (Color - M). Again, the first two are probably Fanny and Rankin.

Thread: Is Joe Biden's campaign over before it starts?
Location: On your computer screen
I hasten to add that I've always liked Joe Biden in general as a senator and vice president. I don't dole out heaps of praise for any particular name-brand politician that often, but I really do get the sense that Biden is a passionate defender of the working class guy.
I may be naive, but I even get the sense that while younger Joe Biden probably was motivated more by a sense of ego - like all ambitious and aspiring presidential candidates - I get the feeling that older, mature Joe Biden could take it or leave it. I do get the impression that he really regrets not running not because he feel like he personally missed his chance to be president and because he missed out on some lifelong dream, but more so because he's truly appalled at the morons running the white house now and the opposition party that has enabled him. I'm not even totally convinced he wants to run for himself as much as he is constantly reminded every damn day that he probably could even squeaked out a victory over Trump, and chose not to run. I bet that eats away at him, and so now he feels compelled to run because of his own feelings and probably because everyone around him has convinced him he can do it this time.
I won't say that he doesn't have ambition, ego, and designs on power - you don't get to be a multi-term senator and Veep without these traits. But what I'm saying is that I think he can walk away from it if he really wants to and he could live out his life content on a personal level, which is different from how I assess Hillary Clinton's reaction to her loss. My impression is that while she, like Biden, is horrified by Trump's inflicting damage to the country, I also get the feeling that she feels cheated, that she lost out on a lifelong dream, and that she'll never, ever get over it - ever. 254

Beatles or the Stones
By Odine,

Okay, so pretty classic question really.. whom do you prefer?
I like em both, but I'm much more of a Beatles fan than a fan of the Rolling Stones. And this is why.
1. Beatles write better songs. That shit could be scientificly proven I'm sure, with the exception of the Ringo numbers, but even they have a very naive charm.
2. Beatles have more sophisticated harmonies and melody. I mean, their earlier songs were more simplistic but as they grew into their craft their songwriting became increasingly complex with complicated vocal harmonies. Where as the stones kind of kept on bashing out the same blues numbers their whole career...which leads me to
3... The Beatles went off the deep end with experimentation. Not only in LSD sense but I mean sonically. They invented so many little techniques, (like sampling and overdubs), interesting instrumentation, weird pentameters. They basically wrote Chemical Brothers tunes ("Tomorrow Never Knows") 40 or 50 years before the chemical brothers existed. And they nearly invented heavy metal with "Helter Skelter".
4. The Stones are a one trick band. Admittedly it's a very good trick, listening to old American blues, pillaging it for all it's worth and selling it back to American teenagers eager to gobble it up. If it weren't for the Stones Muddy Waters and a lot of those old blues guys wouldn't have half the recognition they got in their later "careers". (I use quote marks cause they'd not think of it in those terms). But they (the Stones) found their jam and flogged it for 60 years. Got lost in the 80s in a cloud of cocaine powder and white denim and have been trading on nostalgia ever since.
5. The Beatles had George Harrison. Probably one of the coolest humans to walk the face of the earth. Charlie Watts was pretty cool I admit, and Keith Richards as charming as he is doesn't have the introspection and grace of Georgie boy.
6. The stones have Mick Jagger. And that guy is a ****. Admittedly Paul McCartney is a bit of a plonker and John Lennon could be a c*** but Mick Jagger man... Next level hubris.
7. And finally this is something a lot of people get wrong. They think of the Rolling Stones as the tougher of the two bands, or the bad boys. But it was the Beatles who were the hard working class lads from Liverpool. Proper Scousers like. They were the hard ones. Paul was probably a bit soft but Ringo, John and George would definitely have been a handful if there were scuffles. Hell, someone broke into George's home in the 80s or 90s and he fought off the home invader, who stabbed him a few times on the way out, and lived to tell the tale. It was the Rolling Stones who were the polite, posh art school boys from Richmond. Basically if the stones and the Beatles were to have a fight the Beatles would totally throw down. Of course that is a ridiculous thing to say as they all turned into pacifists and got into spiritualism and that... Damn another reason I love the Beatles more.
Anyway. I still like the Stones music. They definitely have swagger. And the Beatles definitely sound distinctly more British. So again, I do like them both very much. But if I had to listen to only one album of either band for the rest of my life itd totally be Abbey Road.
Opinions?

The Choc
I think with the Beatles it's sometimes even hard to comprehend how short a time they were actually together and popular. Everything they put out was released over 7 years and 2 months. "Please Please

Since the Who came up, I have to bring up Zeppelin and Floyd... Pink Floyd> Led Zeppelin> The Rolling Stones = Beatles >The Who. Ten years ago, I would have rated Beatles last.
My favorite Stones song is by far "She's a Rainbow" which is about as unlike most of their work as it possibly can be.

Not The One
I like both, and can't argue with your points. When I was younger I HATED the Beatles, and while far from my favorite band, really liked the Stones. Now that I am older, I have kind of flipped a bit, and while I still like the Stones, I really have come to appreciate the Beatles, starting with Rubber Soul on through to Let it Be. Not too into the early stuff that sounds more generic and like most bands of the early 1960s (I wanna hold your hand...blech!), though some of it isn't bad (some of the early early stuff really sounded almost like Rockabilly). The Beatles' influence is still being felt to this day, but especially during the 1960s to 1990s. Stones have longevity, but by the late 1970s, they kind of stopped innovating and kept the same sound from then on. Once all the Beatles went solo, they went into different directions, but I think Paul's Wings was probably the closest thing we had to a 1970s era Beatles. If John had not died, I have to think we would have seen a reunion in the 1980s, and I have to wonder if they would have gone somewhat new wave, sort of like the Kinks did. I definitely think they would have done some synth pop, too.
The Choc 1,645
It's the Beatles. I mean the third best song writer in the band wrote several songs better than any Stones song: While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Something, Here Comes the Sun. And that's the third guy.
Your last point is definitely true. John once nearly beat a guy to death for insinuating that he was gay.

1. Beatles write better songs. That **** could be scientificly proven I'm sure, with the exception of the Ringo numbers, but even they have a very naive charm.
1. Entirely subjective, and on that note, I found the Rolling Stones final two albums of the 60s (Beggars' Banquet and Let it Bleed)leaving them in generally better creative shape than the Beatles last two efforts.
3. The Beatles were far from the first rock band to step into the waters of experimentation. As early as 1964, The genesis of The Who creating the rock opera had its roots in 1965 with the early ideas that would become "A Quick One, While He's Away" in '66. We all know about groups like The Animals, The Yardbirds and The Moody Blues going off in very experimental (and creatively cohesive) directions of their own in the same era.
2. and 4. What? The 60s Rolling Stones started (by Brian Jones) as a serious blues band unlike any other in Europe (even that of his friend Alexis Korner and his influential Blues Incorporated). But their sound did not settle there; it was through Jones that the band had innumerable instruments rarely--if ever associated with rock--transforming many of the group's songs to become classics with a voice unmatched by any other 60s group--including the Beatles. One can argue that the Rolling Stones evolved more than any of the biggest rock acts by the end of the decade, with the possible exception of The Moody Blues.
5. Much of the alleged introspection attributed to Harrison is more associated with his 1970s solo years, where he was able to freely express himself as a person and artist more than being framed by being a Beatle.
6. Yes, Jagger was a manipulative, jealous ass, but Lennon had a number of unsavory behavioral problems, from habitually sidelining many of Harrison's efforts to get more songs on albums, to his physically abusing first wife Cynthia, barely having anything to do with Julian, to having low opinions about other acts with members who were supposed to be counted among his "friends." Let's not forget his jealousy of / being intimidated by McCartney, to the point where he had tantrums in the studio, started to back away from true collaborations sometime around 1968, and yes, there's the Yoko issue, which caused much friction between Lennon and the rest of the group.
7. All members of the Rolling Stones were not "posh art school boys." While Jones was reportedly highly intelligent, he did not pursue college and lived a very rough life from one temporary dwelling to another living in Germany and the UK while perfecting the guitar work that would form the Rolling Stones sound. Growing up, Wyman and his family suffered through World War II, living on rations, going to school in a gas mask, suffering the effects of bombing, with no stable housing. In fact, he has stated that they lived in extreme poverty. Both were far from pampered art school types.
I think with the Beatles it's sometimes even hard to comprehend how short a time they were actually together and popular. Everything they put out was released over 7 years and 2 months. "Please Please Me" was released in Britian on March 22, 1963. "Let It Be" was released on Mary 8, 1970. Then when you consider Let It Be was actually recorded before "Abbey Road" it becomes more like everything they recorded was done in about a 6 and a half year stretch. That's pretty crazy.
I remember on this board quite a while ago there was a thread with the Beatles and someone said they were overrated stating they "probably only have 50 good songs." Well I mean how many bands have 50 good songs? Out of those how many have 50 good songs in 6 years?

REVROSWELL
Yup. Stones 100%. Beatles have some great songs, no question about it. All time greats. I'd never choose to listen to one over a Stones song, though.
You wouldnt choose any Beatles song over any Stones song? Thats a big statement. The Stones have some bad stuff.
But, yeah, the Stones have bad stuff because theyve been around forever and done more. Id definitely pick them over the Beatles.
And I would pick early Beatles over late Beatles.
Except for maybe Steel Wheels, the Rolling Stones haven't had a good album since 1981's Tattoo You. Seriously. After that, all their stuff sounds the same and blurs together. And I say that as a Keith Richards fan.

The Beatles, easily. Doesn't even come anywhere close for me.
The thing I always forget about the Beatles and kind of amazes me is that they were only active for about 10 years. I'm sure there are probably others but I can't think of any bands or artists who've had such diverse, consistent and quality music out in a short span of time, let alone influence music the way they did.
But in saying that, since the Beatles were only for 10 years and the Rolling Stones are still going. That's definitely a factor for me - Rolling Stones might have a lot more subpar material but they have been going a hell of a lot longer, so it's to be expected. And while I've never really gotten into the Stones as much as I probably should have, I'll always respect that they've been going as long as they have, can still put on a great show and probably outsell 95% of artists live.

Who is Number 1?
The Beatles for me. Such a great set of songs they recorded in such as short time as Choc says above. Crazy having that much superb albums. Favourite is hard to choose and can change year on year, but current fave is Rubber Soul which marks the shift of tone as it heads towards Revolver and Pepper.
Got into them when the Anthology was being made back in the mid 90's - great watch.
Rubber Soul is one of my fav albums too. It's banger after banger that album.

Not even sure why I'm posting in this thread... both and neither?
My parents didn't really like either band, so I only grew up with what I heard of them when my parents would turn on the radio. So I... like them both well enough, but aren't really familiar with more than their biggest songs, and haven't been terribly motivated to give either a real listen.
Its the internet! Its your duty to have a strong opinion without facts or experience.
Okay! I feel very strongly neutral about both bands!

I think to truly appreciate The Beatles, you had to be alive and into pop music before they showed up because they absolutely changed forever the popular music landscape, entirely. If you grew up after the mid 60s, they're just the band that was shoved down your throat everywhere.
"The Stones are a one trick band." SO. disagree. When the band was all about Brian Jones, they were really focusing on sounding like an American Blues band and they were mostly a cover band. Then they started writing their own material. They were one of the first rock bands to use a fuzzbox, they used marimbas on Under My Thumb and even went through a disco phase.
I see the differences basically in songwriting and the bands' overall genres as the biggest differences; the Beatles were more into skiffle and rockabilly at thrie roots and became a psychedelic, hippie-ish band in the late 60s. The Stones were hardcore Blues at their start and relied on Jagger and Richards' personas to propel them into the 21st century
Also, why have these 2 been pitted against each other for decades? Has there ever been a non-rivalry like this created in music but NOT by the bands themselves?

Rolling Stones by a mile. By a landslide. I'd take the Stones and the Who before I'd even consider the Beatles.
This is what I've extrapolated from listening to opinionated boomers talk about music all my life...
Like you said, the Beatles changed everything. But the Stones came in right behind them. Before they went full psychedelic, the Beatles were awfully clean-cut, Tiger Beat cover boy types. Mick Jagger was just as popular with the girls, but he was the "bad boy" antithesis of the Beatles. Saying you're a Beatles guy or a Stones guy had more to do about the image you were projecting about yourself, like how modern pop fans are usually more preppy with their style and interests, while rock fans are more the neo-grunge types. But otherwise, their music is apples and oranges.
And then, of course, there were the proto-hipsters like my dad, who leaned far more into the actual blues scene, and prog rock like The Moody Blues and Procul Harum for getting high to, and therefore didn't need either mainstream option.
I think there have been twitter wars between stan armies that would technically meet your criteria for this, but they're not nearly as iconic and just never will be.
The Stones and the Beatles get compared because theres nobody else at that level of cultural impact and awareness. Seriously, try to think of one. The Who is great, but nowhere near that level of cultural saturation. Nirvana was huge, but they didnt have the cultural staying power. And in that regard, the Stones are a very distant second to the Beatles. It barely counts, its so distant. The Beatles Anthology and TV special(s?) was a huge cultural moment, and that was decades after they broke up.
I dont love the Beatles, but theyre the most culturally important musical act of the past 70 years. You could argue their influences, but theyre only significant because they influenced the Beatles.
Brett 248
I'm a big fan of both, but: Beatles. They were more versatile.
I love Mick, he has a lot of flair and showmanship, but his actual singing voice is shit. Meaning, the Stones' few attempts at ballads were usually pretty tongue in cheek, bordering on cringey.
And item 2: Their Satanic Majesties Request. Again, I love the album, but it's a giant fan love letter to Sgt. Peppers.
I think a more is where The Beach Boys fit in. Pet Sounds is one of the greatest albums of all time.
The Beach Boys belong in any discussion. It's very interesting how all the acts of that era pushed each other. When Brian Wilson first heard "Strawberry Fields Forever" while driving in his car he pulled over, started to cry and said to himself "they got there first."
I'd shuffle around the positions on a couple of them but Pink Floyd for me would also definitely be at the top. The run of albums from Dark Side of the Moon up to the Wall is pretty unparalleled. If anything I think they're a closer comparison to the Beatles in terms of music and influence than the Stones.

Directors Update – August 2021
Welcome to our August 2021 newsletter. I hope you are remaining resilient in the face of the continuing COVID-19 related impacts, which regrettably affect everyone's work-life balance.
Despite our TERN project's fieldwork being constantly hampered by travel and other restrictions of COVID-19, we have been busy elsewhere and are excited to launch our latest product, which is based on world-leading satellite-derived Actual Evapotranspiration data. This product will help us understand the dynamics of water use from all vegetation communities and promote accurate water balance modelling for any catchment or groundwater system in Australia. Importantly, it will provide essential information for environmental policy-makers and managers, the Australian irrigation industry, and will help promote enhanced water resource management and ensure the nation's food security.
Another highlight this month for TERN was the first meeting for 2021 of its Science Advisory Committee (SAC). The group met online under its new Chair, Distinguished Professor Belinda Medlyn. Other new members welcomed to SAC are Professor Andy Pitman AO FAA, from UNSW, and Professor Megan Lewis, from The University of Adelaide. We are delighted to see the renewal of Dr Margaret Byrne (WA Dept Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions), Professor Alex McBratney FAA (University of Sydney), Professor Adrienne Nicotra (Australian National University), Dr Ross Wilkinson (independent), and Professor Jenny Davis (Charles Darwin University). We thank Dr Ashley Sparrow and Dr Helen Cleugh, outgoing SAC members, who stepped down last year from SAC at the end of their respective three-year terms – and once again thank Dr Steve Morton for his past role as the inaugural chair of SAC.
The TERN SAC's meetings this month and into September are focused on completing an independent multi-domain scientific review of TERN's draft strategic framework for 2021-2030 for the TERN Advisory Board, after which the document will be released for the TERN community's comment. The framework defines the scope of TERN's current operations and is a guide to the rationale for TERN's aspirations and future research infrastructure investments.
The other important task in hand at present for TERN is continuing to contribute to the Australian government's national research infrastructure Roadmap consultations. While the government's invitation to comment on the proposed National Environmental Prediction System has closed (TERN helped with the Scoping Study over two years), there are nevertheless still a series of opportunities currently open for everyone interested in the consultation related to the Roadmap.
We wish everyone happy reading of this newsletter and look forward to catching up again next month.

"Локомотив" е стадион, намиращ се в Москва. На него домакинските си мачове играе "Локомотив" (Москва).

Стадионът е открит през 1935 г. под името "Сталинец". През 1956 г. стадионът става собственост на Министерството на минната промишленост и приема името "Шахтьор". От 1966 г. се казва "Локомотив".

През 1990-те години пейките на стадиона са сменени със седалки и капацитетът е намален до 24 000 зрители. През 2000 г. "Локомотив" събарят стадиона и изграждат на негово място нов. Първият мач на новия стадион е срещу "Урал".

До 2006 г. ЦСКА (Москва) играе мачовете си от евротурнирите на "Локомотив". От лятото на 2013 Спартак Москва ще домакинства на Локомотив.

Стадионът разполага и с алея на славата, в която са включени легендите на "Локомотив".

Smoke & Mirrors, p.1
Part #7 of THIRDS series by Charlie Cochet
SOUND EXPLODED in Dex's ears. His head throbbed, and his face hurt. He tasted blood, and his body didn't feel like his own as he struggled through the lethargy. His limbs felt heavy, like he was swimming in molasses. With a groan, he forced his eyes open. It was dark save for the halo of light floating somewhere above his head. Where was he? The last thing he remembered was Sloane's strong arms around him, wrapping him up in warmth, holding him close. Sloane had nuzzled his face in Dex's hair, then kissed him good night, followed by a soft "I love you."
Sloane….
Dex bolted upright, a gasp caught in his throat as he surfaced through the haze. His eyes widened, and his heart beat furiously as he realized his wrists and ankles were zip-tied to a chair.
"What the hell is this?" He looked up and reeled from the stabbing white light. It seared his vision, and he shut his eyes tight for several seconds. A halo was all he could see before he was finally able to focus on the stretch of nothingness around him. Shadows surrounded him on all sides, the only light coming from the lamp hanging over his head. "Hello?" It struck him then.
They'd taken him from his home.
Oh God, where was Sloane? His blood ran cold, and he jerked against the restraints. "Somebody answer me!"
"You're awake. Good."
Dex froze. He peered into the shadows and could just about make out an outline, along with the glow of eyes. A Therian.
"Who are you? What is this?" Dex demanded, his voice hoarse from his dry throat. It was like his mouth was full of cotton. Most likely a result from whatever they'd given him to knock him out. He did his best to ignore the queasy feeling in the pit of his stomach. Someone had broken into his house and taken him from his boyfriend's arms. He had no idea where Sloane was or the condition he was in. Was he hurt… or worse? Please let him be okay.
"I'll be the one asking the questions here, Agent Daley."
"Where's Sloane?"
A tall wolf Therian in an expensive gray suit emerged from the shadows. "Looking for you, I imagine. I don't really care. My interest lies with you, not Sloane Brodie."
Dex had expected a thug or a raging psychopath. The Therian before him didn't appear to be either, but appearances could be deceiving. Refined, smooth, chiseled jaw, and handsome, with rich black hair neatly styled, he looked to be in his late thirties, maybe early forties. The Therian cocked his head to one side, his sharp gray eyes studying Dex. He seemed to come to some kind of conclusion and pulled a chair out from the darkness to place in front of Dex.
Dex studied his adversary, noting how nonchalantly he unbuttoned his tailored suit jacket and took a seat. He crossed one leg over the other and placed his laced fingers over one knee, as if he were about to have an informal business chat.
"Where is it?" he asked smoothly.
"Why do you spooks always start with such cryptic questions?" Dex frowned down at himself. "Why am I in a suit?" He was pretty sure he'd gone to bed in a T-shirt and pajama bottoms. The suit was tailored to fit. Everything from the black dress pants to the pristine white button-down shirt to the black jacket fit like a glove. Even his shoes hugged his feet comfortably. "How do you know my shoe size?"
"I know everything about you."
Dex glanced around the room. There were no cameras, windows, nothing but the bare concrete floor and walls. "Why?"
"Where is the file?"
"Why the tie?" This was bizarre. Someone had painstakingly fixed a tie around his neck while he'd been unconscious. Who kidnapped people and dressed them up in fancy clothes?
"How about we start small," Dex offered. "What do I call you?" He needed to figure a way out of this. There had to be a door somewhere behind the Therian. The guy hadn't just materialized out of thin air. Of course, first Dex would have to get himself out of the chair. It was steel and bolted to the floor.
"Don't act cute with me, Agent Daley." The wolf Therian smiled pleasantly. "And you can call me Mr. Wolf."
Mr. Wolf. Right. "Now who's being cute?"
Wolf chuckled. "I do appreciate a man with a good sense of humor. You're very charming." He looked Dex over and smiled warmly. "You're taller than I imagined, and your photo hardly does you justice. You're far more handsome in person." He motioned to his own eyes. "Beautiful color. Absolutely stunning."
Dex leaned forward, his lips curling up wickedly. "You trying to get information out of me or date me?"
Wolf chuckled. "I can see you're going to be a handful. All right, Agent Daley—May I call you Dex? Agent seems so formal."
"Dex, your little 'I'm just a ditzy blond' act isn't going to fly with me. I know perfectly well who you are and what you're capable of."
Dex sat back with a smile. "Do you now? FYI, I'm more of a dirty blond."
Wolf arched an eyebrow at him. The man wasn't quite sure what to make of Dex. Despite Wolf's calm and nonthreatening demeanor, something in his eyes warned Dex to tread lightly.
Wolf cleared his throat before continuing. "Dexter Justice Daley, born August 18, 1980. Only child to Gina and John Daley. Adopted by Anthony Maddock. Adopted brother, Cael Maddock. You were an HPF officer before becoming a detective like your father before you. Then you testified against your partner for shooting an unarmed Therian youth in the back. Your boyfriend at the time, Louis Huerta, walked out on you.
"You were hired by the THIRDS and appointed a Defense agent for Unit Alpha's Destructive Delta. Your Team Leader is Sloane Brodie, a First Gen jaguar Therian who spent the majority of his youth in the First Gen Research Facility being prodded and poked like a lab rat. You've been together for a year and roughly two and a half months—he had a few commitment issues to work out. This month he moved in with you. He thinks you need to eat healthier, and he's correct. You consume copious amounts of caffeine, sugar, and red meat, have a somewhat unusual obsession with the eighties, and enjoy karaoke. Have I left anything out?"
Who was this guy, and how did he know so much? Dex smiled widely. "Yeah, I love dancing, sadly can't hold my liquor, and give great head."
Wolf's eyebrows shot up before his expression returned to its previous impassive state. He shifted in his chair, and Dex held back a grin. He could use this. Dex held Wolf's gaze.
"Did you know I can make my boyfriend purr in Human form? And I don't mean figuratively. I mean, I can literally make him purr."
Wolf peered at him before brushing some nonexistent lint from his suit jacket. "Not possible."
"Oh, but it is," Dex replied, his voice low and husky. "I'm good with my mouth."
Wolf smoothed down his tie before meeting Dex's gaze. He carried on as if he hadn't heard Dex. "I know you would risk everything for your loved ones. Your career, your heart, your life. You have a fierce sense of justice. I know at this very moment you're considering your options and how you can get out of that chair. Those are Therian-strength zip ties, Dex. You won't be going anywhere, and unlike most, I won't underestimate you. You're quite good at discovering your opponent's vulnerabilities. Fortunately for me, I have none. I know you play the fool, act the class clown, hiding who you really are."
Dex cocked his head to one side and smiled. "And who's that?"
"A very dangerous man."
Here he was tied to a chair, and he was dangerous? "That's funny."
Wolf stood and shoved his hands into his pockets. "It is funny, because even you don't realize it." He leaned forward, his gaze holding Dex's. "Others may not see it, but I do. There's
darkness lurking behind those pale blue eyes. You never did quite recover from your parents' murder."
Dex opened his mouth to reply when the words sank in. His gut twisted. No. Absolutely not. "My parents weren't murdered. They were killed in a shoot-out. Wrong place, wrong time."
Wolf moved his chair closer to Dex and sat. "You didn't believe it then, and you don't believe it now. It may be what you were told, what you wanted to believe, but deep down inside, you know the truth you buried long ago."
"What do you know about my parents?" Why was he asking? It wasn't as if he could trust Wolf. For all he knew the guy was making shit up to rattle him, to make him talk.
"Do forgive me. I seem to have deviated from my intended path." Wolf let out a pleasant laugh, as if he were conversing with a friend. "You're very easy to talk to. Let's try a different approach. Gina Daley was killed for interfering in business that was no concern of hers. Sadly, she dragged your father into it. I want the file she had in her possession the night she was killed."
Dex closed his eyes, suddenly nauseated. He needed the room to stop spinning and his stomach to stop turning over. Wolf was right. Deep down, he'd always known, but this… this was just too much. All these years he'd tried denying the fact there might be more to his parents' deaths than mere coincidence, but he'd never delved deeper. He'd been scared to. Afraid of what he'd find. To him, his parents had been two regular people who'd loved him very much and who'd been taken from him far too early in life. He'd wanted to preserve their memory. Dex opened his eyes and took a deep breath. There was no running from it now. He needed answers.
"It's been almost thirty years. Why are you looking for this file now?"
"That information is inconsequential. I would very much like that file."
"If there is a file, I don't know where it is," Dex replied truthfully. "This is the first I'm hearing about it. If you've been watching me, studying me, you'd know that."
Wolf stood and removed his suit jacket in no particular hurry. He took hold of his chair, placed it to one side, and draped his jacket across the backrest. Dex observed him, the way he moved, how he smiled warmly as he removed the cuff links from his sleeve cuffs. Once he'd slipped the cuff links into his jacket pocket, he rolled up his sleeves. Not in a half-assed way either. He wasn't in any kind of rush. The fabric was folded meticulously. First one sleeve, then the other. From his pants pocket he pulled out a pair of black gloves and slipped them on.
"I hear you have quite the pain threshold."
Dex sat up straight and rolled his shoulders. His heart raced, and his muscles tensed. He subtly closed his hands into fists to keep Wolf from seeing them shake. When he spoke, he made certain his tone gave away nothing of the fear shooting through him. "Moving on to the kinky stuff already. That's not really my scene, but whatever floats your boat."
With a chuckle, Wolf stepped in between Dex's knees. He took hold of Dex's chin, his smile turning apologetic. "Forgive me, but I'm going to have to bruise this pretty face of yours. I hoped to avoid it, but you've left me no choice. It's nothing personal."
Dex shrugged. He wouldn't give Wolf the satisfaction of knowing he was scared. No point in him losing his shit. Wolf wasn't like anyone he'd faced before. He was a professional given a job to do, a job he took pride in. The steel of his gray eyes told Dex all he needed to know. There would be no mercy coming from Wolf. Any and all pain inflicted on Dex was of his own making for not cooperating.
"Just part of the job description. I get it."
"Thank you for being so understanding." Wolf ran his thumb over Dex's bottom lip. "I like you, Dex. In fact, I like you so much I'm going to start small."
"That's really kind of you." He swallowed hard, his eyes never leaving Wolf's.
"I know," Wolf replied sincerely. "Now brace yourself."
Dex nodded. He clenched his jaw and inhaled deeply through his nose, his fists balled so tight his knuckles were white. Think of home.
The first blow had him seeing stars. For all of Mr. Wolf's sophisticated charms, he was a Therian, and one skilled in the art of causing pain. That much was evident right away. Wolf also managed to inflict damage without incapacitating. After all, if he wanted information out of his prisoner, a method of communication was key. The most intriguing part was how Wolf managed to beat the shit out of Dex while keeping himself looking impeccable. Even with Dex's blood splattered over his white shirt, he looked elegant. Dex would have commended him if he could talk.
The worst of it wasn't the blows to the face, the split lip and brow, the throbbing, or even the taste of his own blood inside his mouth as well as the blood trickling down from his nose. It was the fiery concoction that must have been brewed with the Devil's piss because it burned like a son of a bitch when Wolf applied it to one of Dex's open wounds. It scorched his flesh, and when Wolf applied it to Dex's brow, he cried out. Tears pooled in his eyes from the sting, but he quickly blinked them away and gritted his teeth, pushing through the pain. His heart was pounding, and he jerked in his seat, sucking in gulps of air. Jesus, it burned.
"I know," Wolf cooed. "I'm so sorry."
He pressed his lips to Dex's. It was brief but gentle, startling Dex. He tugged at his arm, instinct propelling him to punch Wolf in the face, but all that did was send more pain up his arm.
"Shhh, it's okay." Wolf wiped Dex's blood from his lips with his thumb before he ran a hand over Dex's head, soothing him. "Please. You can make this stop. Just tell me what I want to know." He crouched down between Dex's knees and slid his hands to Dex's thighs, then to his hips. Wolf's dark brows were drawn together, his lips pulled down in a frown. "I'm really not enjoying this. You're a good man, Dex. I don't like hurting good men."
"You could stop," Dex said with a shaky laugh that verged on a sob, but he pushed past it. His vision was growing blurry again, and he shut his eyes tight. For weeks his eyes had been bugging him, itching, blurring, and until recently it had been a minor inconvenience. He'd put it down to fatigue, but Sloane had been worried, so Dex promised he'd make an appointment with the eye doctor. He wished he'd done it sooner. Now was not the time for his vision to be giving him problems.
"I wish I could, but I have a job to do, and once I give my word, I follow through. Dex, please. Help me help you."
Dex gazed down at Wolf, his voice a low growl. "You know what? Fuck you. At this point, even if I had the goddamn thing, I wouldn't give it to you."
"Such language." Wolf tsked.
Dex let out a laugh. "Well, get used to it, Buttercup, because it just gets prettier from here on out."
"I was afraid it would come to this." Wolf stood and leaned in, pressing his cheek to Dex's as he slipped one hand around the back of his head. He murmured softly as he stroked Dex's hair. "I'm going to ask you one more time. Where is the file Gina Daley had in her possession the day she died?"
When Dex didn't reply, he received a punch to the kidney. Fuck. At this rate he'd be pissing blood for a week. If he survived.
"All right." Wolf straightened and released a sigh. "Just remember, you brought this on yourself." He slipped into the shadows and returned with a long, narrow wrap of dark leather. After moving his chair closer to Dex, he pulled the ties loose and unrolled the leather on the chair's seat. Dex's jaw muscles tightened at the neat row of long, fine needles. They looked like the kind acupuncturists used. Dex twisted his wrists, the sweat on his skin only allowing for minimal movement, not enough for him to free himself.
Gently, Wolf took hold of Dex's left hand and bent to give his fingers a kiss before taking hold of his middle finger. Dex's body betrayed him, trembling under Wolf's touch in anticipation of the pain. Nothing he'd experienced before could prepare him. All he could do was endure. Pray he could somehow f
ind a way to get out of this. To survive. Wolf slipped one of the needles out, crouched down in front of Dex, and placed the tip under Dex's fingernail. Wolf's steel-gray eyes met Dex's. "This is going to hurt a great deal. It's all right to scream. Again, you've left me no choice."
Dex's eyes watered as Wolf began to push the needle in. His heartbeat skyrocketed, and he jerked against the restraints. Oh God…. He'd endured a hell of a lot in his life, in his career at the HPF and then the THIRDS, but never anything like this. He focused on his breathing, on finding a safe place inside his head. Sloane….
The needle plunged deeper, and Dex jolted, a strangled cry torn from his lips. He pushed against the floor with his feet, jerked his arms, and twisted his body in an attempt to get away from the agonizing pain, but nothing he did would ease his suffering.
"This is just the beginning, Dex," Wolf assured him softly. "I will break you."
"Fuck you," Dex spat. Sweat beaded his brow, and his fingers shook. It was only going to get worse. With a sigh, Wolf moved on to the next finger, and Dex closed his eyes, his muscles straining and sweat dripping down the side of his face as the second needle was pushed in under his fingernail. Sometime between the third and fourth needle, everything went black.
"Stop! Stop, I can't take anymore!"
Tears ran down Dex's cheeks. His face hurt from laughing so hard.
"You give up?"
Sloane's smile brought little creases to the corners of his amber eyes, making Dex's heart skip a beat. He was so damned beautiful. New silver strands had appeared in his beard and at his temples, adding to his sex appeal. Sloane was one of those guys who grew even more gorgeous with age, and Dex's heart swelled at the thought of growing old with the man he loved.
Those amber eyes had been filled with so much pain not long ago, and now they lit up with affection and laughter. With every passing day, despite the darkness they sometimes encountered on the job, Dex witnessed Sloane embrace the growing lightheartedness within him. It was their day off, and they'd been too tired to go out, so they decided to lounge around the house reading, watching TV, eating, and cuddling. In the afternoon they'd made love, then took a nap. Dex had never been happier.
"I give up," Dex said with a husky laugh, drawing his knees up and pressing them to Sloane's hips. "I'm tickled out. I'll eat the rabbit food."
Sloane planted his elbows on either side of Dex's head, his eyes bright with laughter. "Am I going to have to tackle you every time I ask you to try a new vegetable dish?"
"If I'm going to start gnawing on bark, I should get something out of it."
Sloane laughed. "You are getting something out of it. Good health."
"But why does healthy food have to taste like boiled grass?"
"Hey, my veggie dishes do not taste like boiled grass." Sloane's expression softened, he stroked Dex's hair. "Do you know why I'm always trying to get you to eat healthy?"
"Because eventually I have to be a grown-up and realize gummy bears are not one of the four basic food groups? Even though they should be. I mean, some are green, right? Like vegetables."
"That's not why." Sloane lowered himself onto Dex, mindful of his weight. He held Dex close and planted a tender kiss on his brow. "Because I want you to live a long life. I want to have you with me as long as possible."
Dex blinked up at him, surprised by Sloane's heartfelt confession. "Really?"
Sloane kissed Dex's lips, a soft, lazy kiss that had Dex letting out a sigh. He was so madly in love with this man.
"Are you trying to guilt me into eating healthier?" Dex teased, nuzzling Sloane's neck.
Sloane's rumble of a chuckle sent a delicious shiver through Dex. "Maybe a little."
"You're evil."
"I know." Sloane nibbled on Dex's earlobe before whispering in his ear. "Time to wake up, babe."
"Wake up, Dex."
Dex snapped his eyes open, and his body shrieked with pain. A jolt went through him, and he cried out. His cheeks were wet from tears, his fingertips bloodied and throbbing, his hands shaking. His body was like one giant nerve ending, exposed and in agony. He started to shiver horribly. He was cold, his skin crawled, and sweat dripped down his face. Inside his blood boiled, and he was having trouble breathing. Swallowing past the bile in his throat, he glanced down at the five needles sticking out from under his fingernails on his left hand. His right hand had another two. Oh God, why the hell had he looked?
"Were you dreaming of him?" Wolf asked serenely as he began to slowly remove the needles one by one.
Jesus, what now? Please don't let me throw up. Please. Wolf sat in the chair again, the wrap of needles now on the floor by his pristinely shined shoes.
"It sounded like a good dream. Your man's quite something, isn't he? Despite his time in the First Gen Research Facility, he's managed to lead a relatively normal life. Friends, love, a successful career? Not everyone who survived was so lucky. Granted, he wasn't able to leave the demons behind, but it would seem he's learned how to cope with the darkness inside of him. How are the nightmares, by the way? Better? I think they're better now that he has you at his side." Wolf's smile faded, his expression becoming troubled. "He's lived through so much pain. I hate to think what would become of him if you were torn from his life."
Dex didn't reply. He was pretty sure Wolf could see the loathing in his eyes.
"I know what you're thinking," Wolf said with a sigh. "What kind of person feels nothing when bringing another so much pain?" He dropped the last needle onto the floor by his chair.
What time was it? Better yet, what day was it? How long had they been at this? Dex had lost track of how many times he'd passed out. Wolf liked to change things up. He'd alternate between the needles to his fingernails and the ones to various pressure points around his body, to beating the shit out of him one vital organ at a time. His body was bruised inside and out, his skin was caked in blood, and his left eye was all but swollen shut. Dex groaned, feeling his empty stomach lurching. He reeked of sweat, blood, and bodily fluids he couldn't give a second thought to or he'd retch. Fuck, was Wolf still talking?

The Tin Barn area, though in close physical proximity to the cottages, is separated by a cattle guard, and the back area is quite private, though cottage guests do also have access to the fishing pond.
The property is located next door to The Prairie by Rachel Ashwell (of Shabby Chic fame), and is only 6 miles from Round Top Square. The town boasts world class classical music facilities (Festival Hill), art venues and galleries, and historical points of interest. Round Top is also home to an internationally-known antique show from mid-March to the beginning of April and mid-September to the beginning of October.

Researchers identify Candida auris in Nevada wastewater
Chris Dall, MA
A team of researchers from Nevada and Utah this week reported the detection of Candida auris in samples from a wastewater treatment plant.
In a dispatch published in Emerging Infectious Diseases, a team led by scientists with the Utah Department of Health and Human Services and the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services described the culture-based recovery of C auris colonies in one of eight samples collected at a wastewater treatment plant in southern Nevada from May 23 to Jun 13, 2022, during an intense outbreak of the multidrug-resistant yeast. Genomic analysis of two separate wastewater-derived C auris isolates revealed phylogenetic relatedness to isolates from three acute-care hospitals in the same watershed.
It remains to be determined whether C. auris could be detected in geographic areas by wastewater surveillance before being recognized in clinical settings.
The first clinical case of C auris in Nevada was identified in June 2021. As of June 2022, a total of 300 C auris cases had been reported in 22 healthcare facilities in Nevada. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tracking data, there were 1,994 clinical cases reported in 28 states from October 2021 to September 2022.
The authors say the findings highlight the potential utility of community-level wastewater surveillance for C auris, which spreads easily in healthcare settings and can cause severe and deadly infections in patients who have compromised immune systems. But they note there are limitations to their methods, which involved growing the culture in the presence of the antifungal fluconazole, which prevented other Candida species from growing. C auris is frequently resistant to fluconazole.
"It remains to be determined whether C. auris could be detected in geographic areas by wastewater surveillance before being recognized in clinical settings," they wrote. "Regardless, wastewater surveillance of pooled samples at the community level might effectively complement clinical surveillance of individual patients for detecting and characterizing C. auris outbreaks."

More than 65 million people around the world may have long COVID
Mary Van Beusekom, MS
Worldwide, at least 65 million people have long COVID, and that is likely an underestimate, finds a review article published late last week in Nature Reviews Microbiology.
Investigators from the Patient-Led Research Collaborative and Scripps Research Translational Institute reviewed the current literature on long-COVID in nonhospitalized adults.
Misinformation, underrecognition
The researchers said that the number of affected COVID-19 survivors was based on the estimated global rate of 10% of infected people and the more than 651 million documented cases. They cited the lack of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test availability at the beginning of the pandemic and the high false-negative rate of rapid antigen tests as reasons for suspecting an undercount.
"Similarly, there is a broad misconception that everyone makes and retains SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, and many clinicians and researchers are unaware of the limited utility of antibody tests to determine prior infection," they wrote. "Between 22% and 36% of people infected with SARS-CoV-2 do not seroconvert, and many others lose their antibodies over the first few months."
There is a broad misconception that everyone makes and retains SARS-CoV-2 antibodies.
This misinformation, as well as the underrecognition of the nonrespiratory manifestations of long COVID, have skewed both the electronic health record (EHR) data and the research output, the authors said.
EHR data, they continued, are also more comprehensive for hospitalized patients, "leading to a bias toward the more traditional severe respiratory presentation and less focus on non-hospitalized patients," who tend to have neurologic or immune-related presentations.
The researchers said that current diagnostic and treatment options for long COVID are lacking and that clinical trials are needed to pinpoint the condition's mechanisms. "Additionally, to strengthen long COVID research, future studies must account for biases and SARS-CoV-2 testing issues, build on viral-onset research, be inclusive of marginalized populations and meaningfully engage patients throughout the research process," they wrote.
The team also called for training of the healthcare and research workforce on long COVID, a public education campaign, and policies and funding to support research and patient care.
Trial supports shorter postoperative antibiotics for complex appendicitis
A randomized clinical trial conducted in the Netherlands shows that 2 days of postoperative intravenous (IV) antibiotics for complex appendicitis is non-inferior to 5 days, Dutch researchers reported yesterday in The Lancet.
In the open-label non-inferiority trial, patients with complex appendicitis at 15 Dutch hospitals were randomly assigned to receive 2 days or 5 days of IV antibiotics after appendectomy. The primary end point, based on electronic patient records and a telephone consultation 90 days after appendectomy, was a composite of infectious complications and mortality within 90 days. The non-inferiority margin for the absolute risk difference, adjusted for age and severity of appendicitis, was 7.5%.
A total of 1,066 patients were randomly assigned to the two treatment arms from Apr 12, 2017, to Jun 3, 2021, with 533 in each group. Appendectomy was done laparoscopically in 955 (95%) of 1,005 patients. The primary end point occurred in 51 (10%) of 502 patients in the 2-day group and 41 (8%) of 503 patients in the 5-day group, for an adjusted absolute risk difference of 2.0% (95% confidence interval [CI], -1.6% to 5.6%) in favor of the 5-day group. Fewer patients in the 2-day group had adverse effects from antibiotics than in the 5-day group (9% vs 22%; odds ratio [OR], 0.34; 95% CI, 0.24 to 0.50), while hospital re-admission was more frequent in the 2-day group than in the 5-day group (12% vs 6%; OR, 2.14; 95% CI, 1.43 to 3.37).
"This study supports the idea that extended antibiotic prophylaxis for intra-abdominal infections is not indicated after adequate source control," the investigators wrote.
In an accompanying commentary, researchers from the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Rwanda note that a shorter postoperative antibiotic course should be used cautiously in low- and middle income settings, where presentation to surgeons takes longer and laparoscopic surgery is less commonly available.
"A whole body of research is necessary for health systems in low-income and middle-income countries, including to understand challenges around access and diagnosis, implementing sustainable laparoscopic capacity, and identifying the optimum context-specific antibiotic strategies," they wrote.

EU to propose changing laws to address growing drug shortages
In March, the European Union (EU) will propose amending laws governing pharmaceuticals to require increasing stocks of essential medicines and offering more timely notifications of shortages, Reuters reports.
Yesterday, Stella Kyriakides, European commissioner for health and food safety, told the European Parliament that the proposal was spurred by growing antibiotic shortages. Twenty-six of the 27 EU countries have reported shortages to the European Medicines Agency amid an early surge of respiratory infections this fall.
"Our objective is and remains to secure access to medicines for all patients in need and to avoid any market disruption of medicines in the EU," Kyriakides said.
Exercising all options
EU legislators told the European Parliament that the shortages were urgent, but some experts told Reuters that shortfalls of essential generic drugs such as antibiotics were unlikely to be resolved because of the outsourcing of generic manufacturing to Asia.
Kyriakides said the EU is using all available regulatory options and is asking drug companies to boost production. She also said that the Health Emergency and Preparedness and Response Authority, the EU's health crisis group established in response to COVID-19, could help source drugs and medical supplies on behalf of member states.
Our objective is and remains to secure access to medicines for all patients in need and to avoid any market disruption.
Also yesterday, Supply Management reported that European countries have started stockpiling essential medicines and taking other mitigation measures.
Earlier this month, Greece banned the export of drugs after it found that pharmaceutical firms were importing drugs into the country at low prices before marking them up and exporting them again, leading to internal shortages. France also outlawed the online sale of the over-the-counter painkiller paracetamol (acetaminophen) to ensure availability of the drug in retail stores.

Q: arrary.includes ok in vscode but not tsc / tsify using typescript I am trying to call array.includes. I have tsconfig set to say target = es6. In vscode there are no complaints, all works fine (It moaned big time till I changed target from es5 to es6)
But running through command line tsc (or tsify) it complains that includes is not valid
FuncLib.ts(15,23): error TS2339: Property 'includes' does not exist on type 'string[]'.

npm says I have typescript 2.9.1. Do I have to explicitly tell tsc (or tsifY) to read my tsconfig file?

A: According to this medium post and this github issue the includes method is supported since ES7 (ES2016), try adding "ES2017" to your "lib" array in tsconfig.json:
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    ...
    "lib": ["es6", "dom", "es2017"],
    ...
  }
}

Brew rite coffee filters is a key product of the same name company, this highlight how important or big the business of coffee filters is, since its humble beginning in early twentieth century.
The coffee filter was invented by Melitta Bentz in 1908. She used paper to filter out the coffee grounds. Not only was the coffee free from the sludge caused by loose coffee grounds, but it also became much more flavorful and less bitter.
Since then, coffee filters come in various forms. From paper coffee filters, Gold Tone coffee filters, cloth filters, flat bottom coffee filters, and cone bottom coffee filters, all of these share the same function, which is to filter out the coffee grounds during the brewing process and help enhance the flavor of the coffee.
There are numerous companies that manufacture coffee filters, such as Melitta Coffee, Krups Coffee, and Brew Rite, among others.
All these specialize in manufacturing different kinds of coffee filters. For instance, Brew Rite is known for its commercial paper filters, whereas Krups Coffee is known for its paper and Gold Tone coffee filters.
The Brew Rite Coffee Filters are commercial coffee filters that fit Bunn coffee makers and other wide-based 12 cup coffee makers and grind and brew coffee makers.
These Brew Rite Coffee Filters have a 4 ½ inch wide base. What's special about these paper coffee filters is that they are whitened not from bleach, but from oxygen.
This special whitening process greatly enhances the ability of the coffee filter to aid in the coffee extraction process.
In other words, these filters do not react with hot water as it extracts the flavor from the coffee during the brewing process, thus yielding better flavor.
These filters can be used outside of your coffee maker as well. More specifically, the Brew Rite Coffee Filters are also usable for popcorn and nut bowls, lint-free window wipes, ice cream bar drip shields, and for art and craft projects.
Keep in mind, though, that these filters are made for commercial use, such as offices and restaurants. Therefore, these are a little bit more expensive than other paper coffee filter brands. Nevertheless, the Brew Rite Filters do what they're supposed to, which is to prevent coffee grounds from going into the coffee pot while not compromising the flavor of the coffee.
Ultimately, if the Brew Rite Filters are compatible with your coffee maker, try it out. Brew Rite Filters usually come in a bundle of 1000 paper coffee filters.
If you're unsatisfied by the paper filters that you're currently using because it leaves a papery taste or cardboard like taste to your coffee, give the Brew Rite Coffee Filters a whirl.
