How vital were the Chinese laborers in opening up the West for America through the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad?
A. Plan of Investigation
This investigation evaluates the importance of Chinese immigrants who labored to complete the transcontinental railroad, and how their role opened the settlement of the West for America. To assess this, this case will study the characteristics of the Chinese, also compared to other European workers, the principles that made them become prominent figures in the railroad construction despite discrimination, and the how the Central Pacific Railroad could have never been completed without the effort of the Chinese. The sources used are books written by historians, quotes from important figures, and articles written in the time period. The two chief sources used were Nothing Like It in the World: The Men Who Built the Transcontinental Railroad 1863-1869 written by Stephen Ambrose and Empire Express: Building the First Transcontinental Railroad by David Haward Bain. These two sources will be evaluated for their perspectives and value.
B. Summary of Evidence
Beginning in 1830 the transcontinental railroad had been advocated for and desired by the American people. The people wanted a modern form of transportation that connected to two great oceans. Abraham Lincoln promoted the railroad, and by 1853 Congress ordered the routing of the new transcontinental railroad. Starting from Sacramento, California, the Central Pacific Railroad Company built east while the Union Pacific Railroad Company built west from Omaha, Iowa.
The key figures in the Central Pacific Railroad Company, were known as the 'Big Four'. These men were Leland Stanford, Collis Huntington, Charles Crocker, and Mark Hopkins. Also, head of construction was James Harvey Strobridge. It was Strobridge who grudgingly admitted that the company needed to hire the Chinese due to their shortage of workers. He was originally against this because of strong prejudices against the Chinese.
In the 1860's, there were about 60,000 Chinese in California, nearly all of which were adult males. The Chinese were heavily discriminated against: not allowed to vote, testify in court, and denied citizenship. They were often called 'coolies', a Hindu term that meant unskilled laborers. Leland Stanford even called the Chinese the "dregs of Asia" in his campaign for Governor of California. In 1858, California law officially outlawed Chinese from immigrating into America. Although poorly enforced, this law was not formally repealed until 1943.
Strobridge was hesitant to accept Chinese workers, because he feared his employed white workers would quit from outrage of having to work with the Chinese. Instead, once the Irishmen, rebelling for higher wages, heard of the Chinese workers, they abandoned their strike and went back to work. Strobridge agreed that the Chinese could push his men to work for fear of competition. The Chinese proved to work diligently. They were described as working in a "steady, rhythmic cadence". They were dedicated, and worked endlessly.
The Chinese customs were found to be much different than the workers of European descent. Their extensive palate of dried oysters, bamboo sprouts, fresh pork, poultry, and much more was strange, as opposed to the red meat and whiskey of the white workers. Stranger even, the Chinese did not drink whiskey like the Irishmen. Everyday the Chinese boiled water for tea throughout the day.
The biggest accomplishment of the Chinese workers was completion of the Summit Tunnel. It was at the elevation of 7,000 feet and built cutting through 1750 feet of solid granite. The Chinese workers labored through the winter in non-stop three round shifts. Fearless Chinese volunteered to blast through the tunnel with...

Chinese Immigration and the Building of the Transcontinental Railroad Essay
...Chinese Immigration and the Building of the Railroad Long ago, people needed to get across the country. They didn't have cars and plains, so they used trains. Before the trains, they had wagon trails, which were slow to use. In the 1800's, workers in the USA started building a train from Nebraska to the west while California built a railroad toward the east. The work building the railroad was hard. Since not enough men in the area wanted this hard construction work, the railroad companies hired Chinese Immigrants. Some people called them "China men." They earned 30 dollars each month for working on the railroad. The Chinese workers didn't quit the job because in China (at the time) it was hard to find a job and they didn't have much money. There were also some Irish men that wanted to help build the railroad, because of a food shortage in Ireland, but these Irish workers were only about 10% of the total number of construction workers. The first 100 Chinese construction workers were already living in Chinatowns of California at the time of the railroad construction. They had been working on farms and restaurants, and agreed to the new railroad jobs because the pay was higher. Once trained, since their railroad work was very good, the railroad companies wanted more...
Essay about Transcontinental Railroad
...Transcontinental Railroad The Transcontinental Railroad was a significant event in American History. This railroad was the work of two railroad companies, the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific, which built their lines as fast as they could until they met in Utah in 1869. Once this complex building project was completed, the United States was now connected from coast to coast by railroad tracks and led to an era of westward expansion. What few people realize is that this turning point in American history could not have happened if it were not for the immigrant groups who helped to build this remarkable railroad. Irish immigrants mainly built the Union Pacific and Chinese immigrants mainly built the Central Pacific. Before the transcontinental railroad was completed, travel overland by carriage cost about one thousand dollars and took five or six months. It also involved crossing Rocky Mountains and dry desert. Work on the first transcontinental railroad began after President Abraham Lincoln approved the Pacific Railway Act of 1862. This was a landmark law that approved the federal government to financially back the construction of a transcontinental railroad. Due to the American Civil War however the work was delayed for...
Negative and Positive Impact of the Transcontinental Railroad Essay
... Negative and Positive Impact of the Transcontinental Railroad Jeff Neukirch History 101 American History to 1877 Dr. Kimberly Weathers 26 June 2012 The Impacts of the Transcontinental Railroad On May 10, 1869 as the "Last Spike" struck by Leland Stanford now connected the Central Pacific and Union Pacific railroads across the United States at Promontory Summit in the Utah Territory. The transcontinental railroads now complete and America is now destined to move to the forefront of the world's stage. This new railroad system encouraged the growth of American businesses and promoted the development of the nation's public discourse and intellectual life.1 At the same time, this new railroad affected many people positively and negatively. This multitude of people includes settlers, Native Americans, and immigrants who mainly live in the central and western United States. The railroad created some much-needed jobs but at the same time, took away people's homes, land, burial sites and allowing more space for others to grow. Good. After the Civil War, the railroads rapidly moved ahead of the frontier line. In the last dozen states, joining the Union the railroad clearly preceded both extensive settlement and admission. At the time of their respective...
Transcontinental Railroad Essay
...The First Transcontinental Railroad (known originally as the "Pacific Railroad" and later as the "Overland Route") was a railroad line built in the United States between 1863 and 1869 by the Central Pacific Railroad of California and the Union Pacific Railroad that connected its statutory Eastern terminus at Council Bluffs, Iowa/Omaha, Nebraska[1][2] (via Ogden, Utah and Sacramento, California) with the Pacific Ocean at Alameda, California on the southern shore of San Francisco Bay opposite San Francisco. By linking with the existing railway network of the Eastern United States, the road thus connected the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United States by rail for the first time. The line was popularly known as the Overland Route after the principal passenger rail service that operated over the length of the line through the end of 1962.[3] The construction and operation of the line was authorized by the Pacific Railroad Acts of 1862 and 1864 during the American Civil War. The Congress supported it with 30-year U.S. government bonds and extensive land grants of government-owned land. Completion of the railroad was the culmination of a decades-long movement to build such a line. It was one of the crowning achievements in the crossing of plains and high mountains westward by the Union Pacific and eastward by the Central Pacific. Opened for through...
The Influence of the First Transcontinental Railroad on American History Essay
...Influence of the First Transcontinental Railroad on American History In March 1853, Congress instructed Jefferson Davis, under the amendment of the Army Appropriation Bill, to survey and explore the lands west of the Mississippi to the Pacific Ocean. 1 "The Pacific Railway Act of 1862 set in motion what was, until that time, the largest construction project in America history, the transcontinental railroad."2 The act provided large land grants to the Central Pacific Railroad and The Union Pacific Railroad. The CPRR began in Sacramento progressing eastward and the UPRR began building westward from Omaha two years later; thus connecting the two railroads in Promontory Summit, Utah on May 10, 1869. America's first transcontinental railroad created the need for immigrant labor in the United States, providing an opportunity for economic development and a reason for diversifying cultures and distributing the population across the United States. The high demand for immigrant labor presented an opportunity for rapid expansion in the economic market. Why did the Chinese immigrate to the United States? The Opium Wars of 1840 to 1842 and the British rule in China were pushing factors to leave China. Chinamen came to the United States seeking riches from the Gold Rush in 1848, hence directly affecting...
Essay on The Building of the First Transcontinental Railroad
...The First Transcontinental Railroad in the United States was built in the 1860s, linking the well developed railway network of the Eastern coast with rapidly growing California. The main line was officially completed on May 10, 1869. The vast number of people who traveled the line, and the network that followed, set the USA on the path to economic abundance. It also ended the centuries old way of life of the Native Americans and greatly altered the environment. The rail line was an important goal of President Abraham Lincoln, fostered during the early portion of his term and completed four years after his death. The building of the railroad was motivated in part to bind California to the Union during the American Civil War. The railroad is considered by some to be the greatest technological feat of the 19th century. The transcontinental railroad replaced the slower and more dangerous wagon trains, Pony Express and stagecoach lines that crossed the country by land and the equally difficult sea journey around the southern tip of South America. The route followed the well established Oregon, Mormon and California Trails. The new line began in Omaha, Nebraska, followed the Platte River, crossed the Rocky Mountains at South Pass in Wyoming and then through northern Utah and Nevada before crossing the Sierras to Sacramento, California. Additional track was laid...
The Transcontinental Railroad Essay
...better life for themselves and their families. It was the Irish and Chinese that had a vast influence on the transcontinental railroad. Their hard work and perfection resulted in the early completion of the railroad. These workers faced many hardships and difficulties along the way such as discrimination, hazardous weather conditions and unleveled land but it did not hinder the fierce competition between the two groups. It was their methods and work ethics that made the transcontinental railroad such a success. Although the Transcontinental Railroad was visualized, planned out, and financed by well-known wealthy white men, it was in turn built by Irish and Chinese immigrants. The construction of Transcontinental Railroad greatly impacted America, and it was the beginning of a great advancement for the country. The construction of the Union Pacific began in 1866 in Omaha, and was mostly built by Irish laborers. They were from the Eastern Seaboard, and they were veterans of the Union and Confederate Army throughout the Civil War. The Irish did not experience the same type of racial discrimination as the Chinese did, but their pay was still relatively low for working hard in a dangerous environment. The Irish earned $35 dollars a month compared to the Chinese who earned $27 dollars a month2,3....
Essay about The Transcontinental Railroad: Blood, Sweat, Tears and an American Dream
...The late 19th Century was a revolutionizing period in American History evident by the Industrial Revolution and the Civil War. However, it was the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad which profoundly changed the United States. The discovery of gold, the acquisition of Mexican territories and the continued settlement of the West increased the need for a primary railway system connecting the East and the West Coasts. The Transcontinental Continental Railroad aided the settling of the west and closed the last of the remaining frontier, bringing newfound economic growth, such as mining farming and cattle ranching to our burgeoning country. On May 10, 1869, near Promontory Summit, Utah, a boisterous crowd gathered to witness the completion of one of the greatest engineering feats of the 19th Century: the first Transcontinental Railroad. The breathtaking moment as the Golden Spike was driven in marked the culmination of six years of grueling work by ingenious entrepreneurs whose unscrupulous financing got the line laid, brilliant engineers who charted the railroad's course and hurdled the geological obstacles in its way, armies of workers who labored relentlessly on the enterprise and the lives of countless Native Americans which were destroyed in its wake. The First Transcontinental Railroad served as a vital link for trade,...

The first time I heard fIREHOSE was in 1989 when I watched the Santa Cruz skateboarding video Streets on Fire. This video session featured Natas Kaupas, one of the Godfathers of street skating as we know it today. The song Brave Captain and Natas' skateboarding blew me away! From that moment on, I had a new favorite band.
Last Friday (Oct. 21, 2011) my son Chayo performed Michael Jackson's Thriller. Well, part of it at lest. We signed him up for a "Hip-Hop" dance class 6 weeks ago.

Nepal. Beautifully rugged, famously mountainous and seeped in mountaineering legend. Whether you're heading there to scope out the world's highest mountain, or simply explore this diverse region on foot or by bike, you're sure to run into some adventure along the way.
We spoke to our friends at KE Adventure Travel, to find out all the essential information you'll need to start planning your first trip to this fascinating country.
There are two main periods of the year for trekking in Nepal: October- November and March-April. The weather can also be great between November and March, with clear and sunny conditions, but as the days get shorter it gets colder. So, trekking at Christmas works well, with far fewer people on the trails, but make sure you've got the right (warm) gear.
There are still trekkers in the Khumbu in May and this is also an important period for Everest climbers awaiting a 'weather window' for their summit attempts. From mid-June to mid-September it's the rainy (monsoon) season and, although there are still parts of Nepal to visit, in general this is not the recommended time to go.
Where is the best region for trekking in Nepal?
The Khumbu region below Everest is ever-popular and the two-week journey to Everest Base Camp and back is a standout trekking experience. You'll fly from Kathmandu to the mountainside settlement of Lukla and spend several days trekking some of the world's most spectacular scenery; crossing prayer-flag-lined bridges and passing several picturesque Sherpa villages to reach base camp at 5,364m.
Nepal's second most popular trekking destination is the beautiful Annapurna Himal, where you can choose to walk the circuit of the Annapurnas via the Thorung La, long-established as one of the world's great mountain walks. Or, you can trek into the spectacularly enclosed Annapurna Sanctuary; an outing which provides exposure to the very best of Nepalese culture and landscape.
KE Adventure Travel has been running small group trekking, family, cycling and climbing holidays in Nepal for over 30 years. Amongst more than 30 holidays are several different approaches to Everest Base Camp, remote treks to Kanchenjunga in the far east of the country and to Dolpo in the west. You can also climb above 6,000m with KE on mountains like Mera Peak and Saribung Peak.
What's the food like in Nepal?
If you're trekking in the popular Khumbu or Annapurna regions, it's likely you'll be overnighting in lodges. Typical meals will include the iconic and delicious Nepali staple of dal bhaat (rice with lentil soup and curried vegetables) but also dishes with an international flavour, such as pizza, chips and even apple pie. Breakfast will usually be porridge, pancakes, bread, eggs and a hot drink, lunch will be a simple cooked meal with a hot drink and dinner will be three courses consisting of soup, main meal and a pudding such as tinned fruit or home-made cake and custard. You can buy snacks such as chocolate bars, as well as soft drinks and beer at most Nepali trekkers lodges.
You should try to keep the weight of your equipment to a minimum. You'll need to take hiking boots, walking trousers, warm base layers, a fleece jumper or jacket, a warm down jacket and good waterproof top and bottoms. A warm hat, a sun hat, sun cream, travel towel, head torch and a 30-litre daypack should also be on your packing list. Sleeping bags should be rated to -15C, as there's often no heating in trekking lodge bedrooms. Trekking poles are also a good idea – even if you don't have bad knees.
Should I be worried about trekking at altitude?
The human body will adapt to a wide range of altitudes, but it is important that you follow some simple rules in order to acclimatise successfully. It's important to gain height slowly and prioritise proper hydration (when trekking at altitude you'll need to take in around five litres of fluid each day). On top of this, KE Adventure Travel's guides are trained to spot early signs of acclimatisation problems. They have the appropriate emergency equipment and know the drill for calling up helicopter evacuation if this is needed.


Swimming with whale sharks is an exhilarating experience no matter where you do it. There are lots of places all over the globe or you can swim with whale sharks. We chose Isla Mujeres because it's also one of our favorite vacation destinations.
The whale shark season in Isla Mujeres starts at the end of May and continues through the beginning of September. This is the only time that you can see the whale sharks in Isla due to their migratory patterns.
The most important thing to consider when swimming with whale sharks is to find a licensed, competent operator to take you. There are plenty to choose from on Isla Mujeres.
We chose Jim Silver with Aqua Adventures Eco Divers. We initially met him years ago during our first trip to Isla. He owns a dive shop on the island that has options for any type of water activity. Click here for more information on Jim's shop.
Jim's shop coordinates everything for you. All you have to do is pick your day and time and all of the details are handled by them.
You'll meet at the dive shop at 7:45 and fill out your paperwork. The staff member will then walk you over to the pier. There, they will assign you to your boat, get you set up with your life jackets and have you meet your crew.
Boats have a max of 10 customers and 3 crew, so they are never overcrowded.
The ride on the boat to where the whale sharks are is about 45 min to 1 hour. I highly recommend taking bottles of water and snacks but most importantly, layering on the sunscreen. Even that early in the morning you will get burnt. Burnt skin equals nauseous bellies and no fun when you get to the whale sharks.
Isla Mujeres requires that use an eco-friendly sunscreen while in the waters here. My favorite is Stream2Sea. It protects well and is all has all natural ingredients.
Some days this can be a bit difficult. We happened to have a spectacular day. A couple of other boats and already found where the whale sharks were feeding. Once you get to the sharks the crew will get you set up.
Two people at a time will get their snorkeling gear on and jump in the water. You're allowed to take your camera, a snorkel and mask. Fins are not allowed so that you don't accidentally kick the whale sharks.
Once in the water you and your partner will have plenty of time to swim with the whale sharks and take lots of pictures. After a certain amount of time they will call you out of the water so the next two people can go in.
Everybody will have a chance to go at least two times and sometimes more depending on timing.
The whale sharks are huge! Most of them longer than a regular size school bus. They are gentle animals that will not hurt you. Trying to describe the experience of swimming with them can not be done with words.
We counted 32 whale sharks that day. A massive amount!!!! Our boat spent a good hour and a half in the water. We got amazing pictures and video but most importantly memories that will last a life time.
After your amazing swim with the whale sharks, the crew has sandwiches, soda and water for the ride back to the pier. But there are still a few surprises in store!
Once you get back to the island, the boat stops near Mia Reef Resort so that you can snorkel the beautiful reef. They give you 1 hour to snorkel while they make you fresh delicious ceviche.
After your snorkel, you climb back into the boat for a 5 min ride over to Playa Norte. Here, you will enjoy delicious ceviche with chips in the crystal clear turquoise water.
The water is warm and clear. The crew lets you swim for about an hour or until everyone is tired. After a short trip over to he pier, your day is complete! You usually arrive back about 12:45 for a morning tour. Now the rest of the day is yours to enjoy!
Wow what an amazing experience! This is on our bucket list! Thanks for sharing!
I've always wanted to swim with whale sharks! Thank you for the article!

'Downton Abbey' season 3, episode 6 review: Ethel's risk, Bates is [spoiler]
Downton Abbey, Downton Abbey season 3 review	 October 21, 2012
We will start off this week's review of "Downton Abbey" with a major shocker: Ethel can actually cook! Of course, even something as simple as acquiring a skill does not come unattached to a massive heap of drama. The former prostitute spent the earlier part of this episode struggling to cook a meal for Isobel's guests in Mary, Edith, Cora, and Violet, but thanks in part to Mrs. Patmore, she managed to work it out.
The problem here? Let's just say that there were many. For one, Mrs. Patmore violated an order from Mr. Carson to stay away from the Crawley house; in addition to that, Robert tried (but failed) to extract the women of his family from their luncheon the moment he learned just who it was that was going to be serving them food.
While we thoroughly enjoyed Ethel's story this week, it was far from the only thing happening at the Abbey this week. For one, everyone was desperate to try and save the relationship of Robert and Cora after the two started to fall apart over the death of Sybil. Tom had also decided to name his daughter after his late wife, and a massive fight ensued over whether or not he had the right to raise his child Catholic, which is something that the stubborn Robert objected to at first. None of this helped Robert and Cora's relationship at all, but they were actually brought together by a lie of all things from Dr. Clarkson, who was convinced to say a few certain things to keep the resentment from becoming a full-on split.
Of course, we could not write a story about this show in any capacity without bringing up what is happening with Bates at the moment. Unfortunately, his plan with Anna and Mr. Murray backfired courtesy of someone tipping off the necessary testimony to secure his freedom. What happened from here, though, was a bit more surprising as he took to violence as a way to try and win people over in his favor … and ensure that he got the testimony he so needed to escape. Did this actually work? It was an enormous risk, but it actually worked! While we were a bit shocked at the way that it happened, we literally jumped up and down the moment was revealed that Bates is going to be released.
What did you think about this episode overall? From our standpoint, we found it a little bit of everything: it was excellent, funny, but also at times extraordinarily sad. If you want to check out some more rumors surrounding Dan Stevens' future on the show as Matthew, all you have to do is read the story that is up over here.

Все хорошее когда-нибудь заканчивается. Это высказывание, к сожалению, относится и к эрекции. Эрекция прекращается почти сразу же после эякуляции, потому что эякуляция является сигналом к прекращению выработки циклической АМФ. Но даже прежде, чем ваша эрекция прекратится сама собой из-за эякуляции в половом члене происходит серия химических реакций, направленных на то, чтобы защитить орган от «переутомления».

New Exhibit: Up Close at Volcano Art Center
April 21, 2016 by Volcano Art Center Leave a Comment
Volcano Art Center is proud to announce the exhibition titled Up Close by Marian Berger on display daily, 9am -5pm from April 30th – June 5th, 2016 at Volcano Art Center Gallery in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. The exhibition features dramatic, close up, watercolor portraits of native birds with proceeds benefiting the San Diego Zoo Global, Hawaiian Endangered Bird Conservation Program.
Continuing in the spirit of John James Audubon's style, the watercolor paintings featured in this Up Close collection are presented in the classic double elephant folio size measuring 26" x 39.5."
"At this scale the viewer has no choice but to be "Up Close" and intimate with these special birds, observing details that we would never get to see otherwise" states gallery manager Emily C. Weiss. Weiss also mentions that this exhibit begins a series of programs and events benefiting San Diego Zoo Global's Hawai'i's Endangered Bird Recovery Program including the re-introduction of the Hawaiian 'Alalā this fall.
The exhibit is open to the public and free of charge although park entrance fees apply.
A special opening reception will be held on Saturday, April 30th from 5-7 pm at VAC gallery.
Born in Limerick, Ireland, the daughter of a meteorologist, Marian spent her early childhood on Wake Island and in Alaska where she acquired her father's love of science, her mother's artistic bent, and her parent's mutual love of the outdoors. Marian focused on abstract painting in her earliest endeavors until she took a class in representational drawing at Humboldt State University. After graduating with a degree in wildlife management, Marian moved to the Big Island in 1976.
Marian had her first one-woman show at Volcano Art Center Gallery and has had several since. In 1987, she created a series of paintings of Hawai'i's endangered birds and plants for the Aston Kaua'i Resort. An edition of 2000 prints were published, and proceeds from the sales were given to the Hawai'i Nature Conservancy. In 1988, she painted a number of watercolors presented to U.S. Senator Daniel Inouye and U.S. Representative Daniel Akaka for their contributions in preserving Hawai'i's native wildlife. In 2009 and 2010 she won top honors for her entries in the Hawai'i Nei Art Contest celebrating native species. In 2006 she was commissioned to paint the Living Endemic Birds of Hawai'i, a series of Audubon style paintings which she completed in 2011. Following the success of the Living Endemic Birds of Hawai'i and the awareness and financial support the exhibition provided to Hawai'i's Endangered Bird Recovery Programs, discussion on a follow up project began. Marian's stunning watercolor close up of an I'iwi inspired this new Up Close collection, which then took Marian more than three years to complete.

Ministry, CBN to develop Financial Literacy curriculum
by Ahmed Rufa'i
THE Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is working with the Federal Ministry of Education to develop a new curriculum on Financial Literacy, which will be introduced to public and private schools in the country, its Director, Consumer Protection, Mr. Fada Banon, has said.
Speaking at a sensitisation fair organised by the bank at the Three Star Hotel in Dutse, the Jigawa State capital, Banon said the curriculum was aimed at exposing Nigerians to financial discipline at a young age and educate them about financial regulations.
The director said the bank hopes to, through the new subject, reduce fraud, financial abuses and damage to the naira by the public.
During a question- and-answer session, most of the participants made up of farmers, small scale entrepreneurs and pupils, decried the attitude of the commercial banks in the state for poor service and uninformed charges.
A member of staff of Jigawa Polytechnic, Musa Shuaibu, complained that the Automatic Transaction Machines (ATM) in the state only paid a maximum of N20,000 at once.

Don't know much about history
By CommonWealth Staff	0 Comments Jul 6, 2017
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that not all Americans are created equal in their familiarity with the founding documents of their nation or the principles that undergird the same. And so it is that, along with the unalienable right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, we are evidently also endowed by our Creator with the right to view a sharing on the Fourth of the July of the document whose promulgation that date celebrates as a treason-like effort to undercut all that America stands for.
That's the conclusion to be drawn from reaction when NPR, to complement its 29-year history of reading on the air the Declaration of Independence on the Fourth of July, sent out the words of that historic decree on Tuesday in a succession of 113 tweets.
"Who could have taken issue with such a patriotic exercise, done in honor of the nation's birthday?" asks the Washington Post's Amy Wang. "Quite a few people, it turned out."
The Twitter blowback only intensified, she writes, when the NPR tweet storm reached the point in the Declaration that details the colonies' grievances against King George III of England.
"He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers," read one such passage. "A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people," read another.
Some Twitter users apparently confused the call for action against a despotic leader for attacks on President Trump, and did not take kindly to the exercise.
"Propaganda is that all you know how? Try supporting a man who wants to do something about the Injustice in this country #drainingtheswamp," read one angry tweet in response.
"Please stop. This is not the right place," was the response from another Twitter user.
While the episode may reveal a certain lack of historical knowledge among some on the right, on the left these days some are accusing their fellow progressives of knowing their revolutionary history but not grasping its context and meaning for us today.
In a piece posted Tuesday on Vox, Jeff Stein writes that some on the left have taken to rejecting the idea of the American Revolution as part of any long march toward greater democracy and equality.
"The American left stands poised to throw the Revolution overboard, to dismiss the spirit and legacy of 1776 as merely the cause of a racist, sexist, hypocritical aristocracy we should firmly reject," he writes.
He cites several examples, including a 2005 book essay by Barry Gewen in the New York Times that was headlined, "Forget the Founding Fathers." "The God-given or nature-given rights they claimed for themselves included the right to hold Africans in bondage," Gewen wrote.
"The typical strategy of those on the left now is either to ignore the Founders — on the grounds that they don't do elite history — or to point out their hypocrisy — Jefferson, Madison, and Washington owned slaves," says Yale history professor Steve Pincus, who calls that a big mistake.
"Many of the founders were racist, sexist colonizers determined to wipe American Indians from the continent," writes Stein. But "[f]or all its warts, the Revolution really did unleash an egalitarian vision of America that frontally assaulted economic and social inequality."
"The problem," writes Stein, "is that by applying 21st-century views on race and gender to an 18th-century context, we risk missing the real legacy of the Revolution."
Though slavery was indeed legal in every colony in 1776, Stein says, the Revolution set in motion the first emancipation proclamation by a state — Pennsylvania in 1780 — a move that "explicitly cited the fight against British rule as its inspiration." Other states, including Massachusetts, soon followed.
Stein cites all the battles for greater emancipation that have drawn from the Declaration of Independence, including Frederick Douglass and the early abolitionists, the women's suffrage movement, and Martin Luther King's speeches during the civil rights movement.
"The path to progress has come not from rejecting the declaration and Revolution — but by broadening its scope to those the founders wrongfully neglected," he writes.
That truth of that should be self-evident.

New York Real Estate News
FORECAST FEVER
New York View count:
November 7, 2008 Bisnow
We're tempted to stay in our semi-optimistic New York bubble, but we thought we'd better find out what's going on in the rest of the U.S. That's why we have the Urban Land Institute and Pricewaterhouse Coopers, which gave us a national reality check via their annual report presented yesterday at the Roosevelt. Over 700 real estate professionals put their two cents into predictions for '09: a lottrending downwards, but some glimmers of hope.
Esteemed speakers: Citadel Realty Advisor's Joel Ross, PWC U.S. real estate leader Tim Conlon, Apollo Global Management's Joseph Azrack, Barclays Capital U.S. head of real estate investment bankingSchecky Schechner, Bank of America global head of commercial real estate Mark Patterson, Cornerstone Real Estate Advisors CEODavid Reilly, PWC director of research Susan Smith, and ULI senior resident fellow Steve Blank.
We're in our worst commercial real estate period since the early 1990s, Steve said, seeing a dramatic drop in values, increases indelinquencies and foreclosures, lenders without money, andreduced tenant demand, thanks to a "minefield of issues" from thecredit crisis to rising unemployment and stock volatility. Trophywill have less erosion in the downturn, while Class B and C face more risk. Total returns in '09 will be negative, while cap ratesshould increase across the board. There's a financing gap that needs to be filled, and equity will not fill it all. Please, the good news? Next year should be a good one to buy; cash-heavy-low-leverage buyers will come out on top; there's a lack of oversupply in many markets; and CMBS will slowly be revived. Hopefully Steve got some rest after his presentation; he's off to London on Tuesday to give it again—and then Asia.
Major pathway cities are making out like bandits, thanks to a flight toquality and 24/7 markets, according to Susan. Although the forecast's city ratings have gone down since last year, most coastal markets are expected to ride out the storm, including Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., New York and Boston. Very few Sun Belt and Midwest cities are strong, except Houston,Austin and Chicago. Expect struggles in San Diego, OrangeCounty, New Orleans, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Atlanta, most ofFlorida and smaller metros like Charlotte. On the property side, moderately-priced apartments, warehouses, CBD offices and high-income apartments are poised to do well, while regional malls and limited-service hotels are expected to do worst. She suggests investors buy or hold apartment buildings and industrial; buyresidential building lots and distressed condos; hold hotels andoffice; and pray for retail. Overall, she predicts that 2009 will be adowner, 2010 will flounder and 2011 will see recovery underway.
Then, the panel of investment experts. Schecky said life firms are using a 7.5-8% cap rate, but that it wasn't long ago we saw 9% rates and perhaps we're just returning to historic levels. And while CMBSis not the next subprime, we should come up with ideas on how toregulate the industry and relay that to Washington. Dan Abrams, EVP of iStar Financial, said he believes real estate still has inherent value; yet many investors will be sitting on the sidelines, and he doesn't know how long that money can sit.
Mark predicted it will be a long time before we get back to the normal debt market of 5-6 years ago, saying the outlook is grim in the near future; even though Latin America and Asia have been doing much better than the US and Europe, clouds will be heading their way soon. NYC, overall, will fare better than the U.S. Even though this is atough period for the city with increasing lay-offs, more sublease space and a predicted vacancy rate of up to 12%, it is one of the best markets to be in and will rebound. Foreign interest, in particular, will always exist, David said.
Even with the slightly depressing forecast, some of the attendees report that deals are getting done, like AKRF's Peter Liebowitz, right, with Center Partners' Glen Vetromile, Meridian Development'sHoward Weitzman and Weitzman Group's Randee Weitzman, who's been quite busy moving his firm's big (and undisclosed) projectsforward.
No predictions were made on the popularity of parking garages, but Becker Brothers' Scott Sherman (second to right, with Wells Fargo'sMike Chi, Ignacio Diego and NYU Stern's Matthew Grabler) said his company has been actively investing in them. With the exorbitant prices of many of today's Manhattan spots, no wonder investors want to park their money there.

Clay soil is laden with trace minerals and nutrients that benefit plants. However, it is difficult to work with because it is made up of fine particles that do not allow for water drainage or air flow. Clay soil becomes thick and sticky when wet and hard, almost impenetrable when it dries. You can amend the soil so that you can produce healthy plants and lawns. Amending clay soil is a long process, though not a difficult one.
Set the rototiller to go to a depth of at least 8 inches. Till the area you have determined for your garden bed. Cover the area with layers of wood chips, grass clippings, leaves, straw and peat moss to at least 2 inches thick. Till the area to mix the amendments into the clay.
Layer compost, sand and manure 2 inches thick. Dust the area with a fine coating of lime. Till the area to thoroughly mix the amendments into the soil. Spread red clover seeds over the area and cover with straw.
Mow the red clover before the flowers bloom. Leave the cuttings on the soil. Spread 2 inches of compost, sand, peat moss, wood chips, grass clippings and leaves over the entire area. Coat with a fine dusting of lime. Till the mixture into the soil. Allow the soil to winter over with a covering of straw.
In the spring, add a 2-inch layer of compost and till thoroughly into the soil. Begin planting your garden. Till spent plants into the soil and cover with straw for the winter.
If you are going to plant a lawn, consider using a tractor with a plow to break the soil and having truckloads of amendments brought in.
Do not disturb the area by walking on it or attempting to plant in the first year.


Words matter. I am a person who tends to value the connecting point of words to action, how words and action come together. I also tend to be suspicious of words that result in no action and action that is reflexive, just following a familiar habit with no sense of purpose or insight. In short, I like visions but visions without follow through are useless by my standard. But to craft an action with sustaining power one must use words that evoke imagination and inspiration.
Oddly my two favorite words are not ones that bring to mind grand ideas or bold difference making, I just like the memories they bring back.
1: a piece or device for holding or securing: such as, a pin inserted in a nautical knot to make it more secure or easier to slip or a crosspiece attached to the end of or to a loop in something (such as a chain, rope, line, strap, or belt) usually to prevent slipping, to serve in twisting or tightening, or to hold something attached.
I am not sure why I like these two words so much but I hunch it may have to do with the feel of the toggles that were attached to my old winter coats and the overall joy I feel when I witness the symmetry of objects in my midst. One word is a tangible object and the other is a vision.
Likewise in my life I am most moved to participate in events, communities and causes that couple together direct action with a larger narrative of purpose. In short I like to see results and know these results serve a cause greater than self. I lack patience for the process that bring these actions and this larger vision together. I gravitate immediately to putting in place a larger story with a fixed plan for results. I tend to leave the details and the process to others.
Why is this assessment important? In community we need to know our role, our place, how we fit in. I need to be involved in ways that allow me to participate in story-telling, particularly stories that tell larger stories about the human condition. I further need to be involved in seeing this story come to some outcome, where a difference in made to someone, somewhere. And I need to partner with people who can supplement these gifts and passions with an attention to detail and process.
I have worked in communities that had little patience for attaching purpose and reflection to their mission and some that had little interest in direct action, preferring to wax eloquently about an issue than to get one's hand dirty and do something concrete. And I have sometimes failed to appreciate the value of those who offer their mastery of detail and process. As the young people say, that is "my bad". Churches tend to be places that put a high premium on relationships and tasks and have little patience for the larger questions and process. I once served a church where the one and only compliment given to volunteers was "s/he is a doer". Not surprisingly I too was valued for my work ethic and effectiveness but that community was not terribly interested in my "higher purpose" reminders. In short they tolerated my interest in crafting mission themes and lauded my hard work.
All of us need to be aware of what we bring to communities, what we lack and how these various skills fit together for the good of the whole. The Apostle Paul's letters to the church in Corinth focused on this message and it is a good reminder to me, to all of us, as we engage in this important work.

Q: Why Js doesnt call the function? So I have this function called redireccionar()
function redireccionar(){
            alert("activaste la funcion");
        }

gyazo
and redireccionar() gets called by this:
<button class="btn btn-default" onclick="redireccionar()" type="button">Go!</button>

gyazo
But I do click and nothing happens, its because I render them? How can I fix it? Why it doesnt work? Thanks.

A: You need to make a separate <script> tag for your custom JS, your first screenshot (http://gyazo.com/c86b48f3f96137bba0e32e1ae72c0daf) shows you have a script tag pulling in bootstrap and within that tag you are specifying your code.
Example solution:
<script src='/path/to/bootstrap/cdn'></script>
<script>
function redireccionar(){
    alert("activaste la funcion");
}
</script>

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/script#attr-src

A: Oh! I just checked your picture and found something like this:
<script src="......bootstrap.min.js">
//your code here
</script>

You shouldn't include your script within that bootstrap framework. Do like this:
<script src="path-of-boostrap.min.js"></script>
<script>
//your code here
</script>

A: ¡Hola Ruben! Your first screenshot shows the problem. Your function has to be surrounded by separate <script></script> tags, not inside of the linked bootstrap js file. Everything else should be fine so far.

Are you and your office manager regularly getting emails like this?
Hi, I am looking for a new dentist and would like to make an appointment. Are you accepting new patients right now?
If you are already getting these, you are ahead of the rest! If not, it's time to implement a book an appointment form on your website.
Today, 64% of people prefer text over voice communication. The most cited reason is that it fits their schedules better, it's more convenient, and less disruptive than a phone call. Allow those patients to use their preferred method of communication with your new form.
Getting those emails is the first part, the next part is making sure to communicate back efficiently and effectively. Make sure those emails are set up to come in on your phone and enable push notifications for an alert when they come in.
Thanks for the email! Are you looking for a cleaning or are you having pain with your teeth? We would love to have you as a new patient!
Personalized emails like this take less than 2 minutes, and can be incredibly effective.
Patients might be finding you because you have a great Google listing and reviews, but if they are going to your website and can't book an appointment by email, they may look elsewhere. If you don't already have a book an appointment form, we recommend getting one!
With Chekkit, it's easier than ever to get new reviews, collect positive & authentic stories, and respond to your reviews promptly all in one place! Start taking control of your brand image.


Each spelling list consists of 12 regular spelling words along with 3 high frequency words. There will also be 5-7 bonus words for every list. The bonus words are also the vocabulary words for the week.
Each week students are tested on their 15 spelling words and 3 bonus words chosen at random from their list.
There will be a Language Review section at the bottom of each spelling test. Students will listen to a sentence and then write it down on their paper. It will be graded on capitalization, punctuation, and spelling. It will be worth 5 points each week.

Design is not about "less is more"
but about being obvious.
- David Ericsson
Floridita
The Floridita chair is an inspiration from the legendary restaurant Floridita in Havana, Cuba.
The bar opened in 1817 and it's renowned for its Daiquiris.
The interior of the restaurant has an atmosphere of the '40s and '50s.
The Floridita chair is an interpretation of that era, to a more contemporary piece.
www.extoworld.it
Gärsnäs
Hedda is the chair that looks just as good at your kitchen table as an exclusive bistro. Inspired by classical Chinese chairs and the Greek klismos chair, it is a Nordic interpretation with scaled-down forms. In classic David Ericsson spirit, the chair has plenty of fastidious details. The side struts are angled to create symmetry with the seat, the frame has rounded ends as a wink to David's earlier chair, Madonna, and the backrest has a perfectly balanced angle to provide good back support. The narrower shape of the arms enables the chair to be pushed in under a table or hung off the tabletop. Hedda is available with a leather seat from Tärnsjö tannery or an envelopeweave seat made by hand with 166 metres of durable paper-cord twine.
"I wanted to cross a step chair with a stag chair, but with a lower back and that could be hung up. The initial idea was that it would suit a bistro, where you sit for a long while, but also withstands all the wear and tear that goes on there."

Reason to Fight: Albie and Reuben's Story
18/09/2019 7/10/2019 By Amanda Francis
In August 2017, I gave birth to twins boys at our local hospital in Surrey. Albie was born weighing 750g, and his brother Reuben weighed just over one kilogram. It was a traumatic birth, and both my babies were rushed into intensive care without even so much as a look at them.
They were born breathing but needed extra support. When I went down to see them several hours later, I was shocked. They were so small and hooked up to lots of beeping machines. You could physically see their chests working so hard to keep alive – it was only then that it all hit me.
It was a 'wait and see' situation. By day nine Albie became critical after an x-ray showed that his bowel had punctured in several places and was leaking into his body. He needed urgent surgery at the specialist children's hospital St George's in Tooting but was too poorly to be transferred, and at one point the hospital chaplain came to offer support. We thought we were going to have to say goodbye to one of our babies. What followed was a horrible few hours of uncertainty, but finally, Albie became stable enough to travel and we were rushed to St George's Hospital. I had to sit in the front of the ambulance and throughout the journey all I could hear were alarms going off in the back where one of my babies was fighting for his life, travelling further and further away from my other baby who was still in intensive care.
When we arrived, Albie was getting prepped for surgery. I sat in the family room at St George's Hospital as doctors told me that his chances of survival were slim, and to prepare myself for the worst. That day, I had to sign a consent form with the word 'death' on it – it broke my heart.
I was shown a room in the hospital I could stay in whilst Albie had his surgery, but I was warned if a more serious case came along I would be asked to leave so another family could use it. The nurses explained that there was something called the Ronald McDonald House on the hospital grounds, which offered free family accommodation and that they had put in a referral for me and I would be contacted when a room became available.
Several hours later, I had the chance to see Albie before his surgery. I didn't know whether that would be the last time I would see my baby alive.
The next four hours were excruciating, just waiting for bad news. My partner had to stay at St Peter's Hospital with our other baby and I sat alone preparing myself. Suddenly, Albie's doctor popped in and told me that he had survived the surgery! Even though he was passed the first hurdle, he was still very poorly. When I was taken to see him again, he was covered in wires, on so much medication and a ventilator. I only left his side to sleep in the hospital's family room, every other waking hour I would be by his bedside. I saw awful things where he was being treated, but I refused to leave him.
Eight days later, Reuben was transferred to St George's Hospital as well to be with his brother. He had changed so much since I first saw him.
After two weeks of being in St George's Hospital, we were offered a room at Ronald McDonald House Tooting. It came at the perfect time, as we had just been asked to leave the hospital's family room and it was also the day that Albie needed to be resuscitated and intubated again – it was so stressful so knowing we had somewhere to sleep that night was a big relief.
When we stepped into the House, I felt a massive weight off my shoulders. We had somewhere we could stay until we didn't need it anymore. There wasn't a fear of being asked to leave. We had somewhere to relax and reset, but be close to our babies. House Manager Rachel showed us around and explained how everything works so we could just settle in straight away.
The Ronald McDonald House was so inviting and comfortable. It made it so much easier to deal with our stressful situation. We met other families who were going through similar situations there, so we could vent and share our feelings with the only other people in the world who understand what you're going through.
A few of the parents would come in later from being with our babies, and sit up all night drinking tea and snacking. It was a place where friendships that last forever were built.
I honestly don't think we would have managed emotionally or mentally without the Ronald McDonald House and the amazing members of staff and families within it. My family could come and stay with me when I needed them, and my partner could return to work knowing that I was close to our babies and in a safe place.
The twins were between life and death most days, but I believe being able to run to them when they needed us most kept them fighting.
If we didn't have the Tooting House, I have no idea what would have happened. There was no way I was going to leave my babies, and I would have probably slept in my car. But our stay turned into nearly 80 nights, how could I have kept up my strength living like that?
Albie and Reuben were transferred back to their local hospital, and the finally discharged home. It was a long battle, full of lots of tears, but we're just so happy to have our family together. We were so sorry to say goodbye to the Ronald McDonald House, it had truly become a home to us and it will always have a place in our hearts.
You never know how much Ronald McDonald House Charities UK is needed until it's your turn to use the Houses. Without being so close to our babies, they could have died without either one of us getting the chance to say goodbye, but at the House, the hospital can ring directly to your room and you can be there in minutes.
I only wish other families didn't have to go through these situations, but if you do, focus on the positive. Be your baby's reason to fight and remember this awful time isn't forever – soon you'll be home.


WW Police Detective Saul Reyna joined area Hispanic professionals to meet with Wa-Hi students to discuss career opportunities. Guests shared their personal journey story that has taken them to where they are today. They discussed the biggest obstacles they have had to overcome and reflected on those people in their lives who have helped along the way. Panelists also described an average workday and shared words of wisdom to help motivate the students.
"Our goal is to reach as many students as possible with the idea there are many career opportunities available to them if they work hard and apply themselves," said Dr. Victor Vergara, Director of Bilingual Education and Latina/o Outreach.


Healthy catchments mean healthy estuaries, which means you can start getting the oysters back.
Healthy catchments mean healthy estuaries, which means you can start getting the oysters back. If you are in or around Albany on the 18th of December this should be a great gathering to talk about the work underway to restore oysters to Oyster Harbour (which sounds like a logical place to do it). Well done Nature Conservancy for starting this initiative, and well done Oyster Harbour Catchment Group for 30 years of good work in the catchment.


Finding no clear state precedent, a federal court in Ohio has certified to the state supreme court a question arising in a case involving insurance coverage for Listeria-contaminated meats that led to the destruction of 1 million pounds of meat products in 2006. HoneyBaked Foods, Inc. v. Affiliated FM Ins. Co., No. 08-1686 (N.D. Ohio, order entered March 3, 2011).
The question certified is as follows: In light of the Supreme Court of Ohio's opinion in Anderson v. Highland House Co., 93 Ohio St. 3d 547 (2001), does the reasonable-expectations doctrine apply to a commercial general liability "all-risk" insurance policy, so that coverage, which otherwise would be excluded under the terms and conditions of the policy, is afforded, provided the trier of fact determines that the insured reasonably expected, when purchasing the policy, that the policy would cover the loss at issue.
