What is Sjögren's Syndrome (aka Sicca) (pronounced Show-grens)?
Dry mouth and dry eyes - sounds like no big deal...However, it can cause damage to your corneas, increased dental cavities, pain, difficulty eating....just to name a few of the life altering issues. It can also lead to lymphoma. It is thus very sad that so few doctors know much at all about it and it generally takes 7-10 years for diagnosis.
Sjögren's syndrome often accompanies other autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. In Sjögren's syndrome, the mucous membranes and moisture-secreting glands of your eyes and mouth are usually affected first — resulting in decreased production of tears and saliva.
Although you can develop Sjögren's syndrome at any age, most people are older than 40 at the time of diagnosis. The condition is much more common in women. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms, which often subside with time.
Sjögren's syndrome is a chronic inflammatory disorder of probable autoimmune nature characterized by infiltration of the exocrine glands, particularly the salivary and lacrimal glands, by lymphocytes and plasma cells. The classic signs of the Sjögren's syndrome, therefore, includes enlargement of the parotid glands with mucosal dryness manifest by dry mouth (xerostomia) and dry eyes (xerophthalmia).
White blood cells infiltrate the glands that secrete fluids, such as the salivary glands in the mouth and the tear glands in the eyes. The white blood cells injure the glands, resulting in a dry mouth and dry eyes—the hallmark symptoms of this syndrome.
The parotid glands, which produce saliva and are located behind the cheeks and in front of the ears, may also become enlarged and Sjogren's syndrome can destroy the salivary glands. Damage to the trachea and lung tissues can lead to pneumonia and other respiratory infections. Nasal dryness may cause frequent nosebleeds. The sac around the heart can become infected, called pericarditis. Vaginal dryness is another common symptom. Sjogren's syndrome can also affect the liver, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, and lymph nodes. Because Sjogren's syndrome is an inflammatory disease, many patients will also develop mild symptoms of arthritis.
Sjögren's syndrome exists in both a primary and secondary form. In the absence of other autoimmune disorders, it is classified as primary Sjögren's syndrome. When occurring with a well-defined connective tissue disease, usually rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis or polymyositis, it is known as secondary.
The disease affects predominantly middle-aged women, in the peri- or post-menopausal period, in a female-to-male ratio of 9:1. However, it can be seen in both sexes and all ages. The prevalence is still unknown. Nevertheless, it is considered to be quite common since in addition to the primary syndrome, 30% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and systemic sclerosis suffer secondary Sjögren's syndrome. Besides, 2 to 5 % of people aged 60 and above have primary Sjögren's syndrome.
Sjogren's syndrome can destroy the tear glands, causing damage to the cornea, itching, burning, redness, and increased sensitivity to light. Thick secretions often collect in the inside corners of the eyes or foreign body (gritty, sandy) sensation and accumulation of thick, ropy secretions along the inner canthus of the eyes. With time conjunctival injection, reduced visual acuity and increased photosensitivity develop. These symptoms, which occur because of the decreased and altered tear production, result in the destruction of corneal and bulbar conjunctival epithelium defined as keratoconjunctivitis sicca.
Drying of the mouth, xerostomia, is frequent but variable in severity. Patients usually complain of difficulty in eating dry food (like crackers, bread), inability to speak continuously, oral soreness, changes in tasting and smelling and fissures of the tongue and lips (angular queilitis).
Many patients, such as myself also suffer from hyper-sensitivity to spices - experiencing burning of the tongue and lips that can last long after the food is tasted.
An increase in dental caries is due to decreased saliva volume and the relative loss of its antibacterial factors. Physical examination shows a dry, erythematous, sticky oral mucosa.
Involvement of other exocrine glands occur less frequently. A decrease in the mucous gland secretions of the upper and lower respiratory tree results in dry nose, throat and trachea.
I, and others, experience sinus infections as a result of the drying of the mucus.
Mucosal gland involvement of gastrointestinal tract can be associated with dysphagia, atrophic gastritis, esophageal mucosal atrophy, constipation and subclinical pancreatic insufficiency. Vulva and vaginal dryness can result in dyspareunia.
I also have dry skin and hair from SS.
Extraglandular (systemic) features can complicate the course of the Sjögren's syndrome and are seen in one third of the patients. These manifestations are more common in patients with primary rather than secondary Sjögren's syndrome. The spectrum of extraglandular involvement varies. Most patients complain of easy fatigability, low-grade fever, myalgias and arthralgias.
Malignant or pseudomalignant lymphoproliferation may be a prominent part of the illness, especially in primary Sjögren's syndrome. Most lymphomas derive from B cell lineage and may develop into monoclonal gammopathies (as Waldenstron's macroglobulinemia). Pseudolymphoma or frank lymphoma should always be suspected when persistent major salivary gland enlargement, lymphadenopathy or lung nodules are noted.
Diagnosis and Differential Diagnosis
Diagnosis of Sjögren's syndrome is based on the presence of two of the three following manifestations: keratoconjunctivitis sicca, xerostomia and an associated connective tissue or lymphoproliferative disorder. Salivary or lacrimal gland enlargement may or may not be present.
Minor salivary gland biopsy serves as the cornerstone for the diagnosis. Schirmer's tear test is used for evaluation of tear secretion by the lacrimal glands. The test is performed with strips of filtered paper slipped beneath the inferior lid of an unanesthetized eye. After 5 minutes the wetting length of the paper is measured. Wetting of less than 5 mm is a strong indication for diminished secretion. Keratoconjunctivitis sicca, the sequelae of decreased tear production, is diagnosed with slit-lamp examination after using Rose Bengal staining of the corneal epithelium. Rose Bengal is a dye which stains the devitalized epithelium of both the cornea and conjunctiva.
The ophthalmologic and oral manifestations of Sjögren's syndrome are generally not progressive. Patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome are at an increased risk of developing lymphoproliferative disorders, including non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Patients with splenomegaly, bilateral parotid enlargement, and a history of radiation treatment are at especially high risk.
Sjögren's syndrome remains fundamentally an incurable disease, since no therapeutic modality has been identified that may alter the course of the disease. Hence, the treatment of dry eyes is largely symptomatic and includes artificial tears and lubricant ointments. Occasionally, patients may require surgical punctual occlusions to block tear drainage. Managing the oral component of Sjögren's syndrome requires the use of saliva substitutes, stimulation of salivary flow from functioning acinar tissue and aggressively fighting dental caries through both prevention and treatment.
Patients with severe extraglandular manifestations are usually treated with systemic corticosteroids and immunosuppressive drugs such as cyclophosphamide.
Sjögren's also causes gastro-intestinal issues such as heartburn or GERD and constipation.
What Causes Sjögren's syndrome?
While the exact cause of Sjögren's syndrome is not known, there is growing scientific support for genetic (inherited) factors. The illness is sometimes found in other family members. It is also found more commonly in families that have members with other autoimmune illnesses, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, autoimmune thyroid disease, juvenile diabetes, etc. About 90% of patients with Sjögren's syndrome are female.
Tests for Sjögren's Syndrome
Since there are 3 different tear layers produced to make the right consistency of the tears, these tests, performed by an eye doctor, help determine where the dry eye problem may be coming from, and what treatment may be needed.
Schirmer 1 test - a test of eyelid wetness
Schirmer 2 test - a test of nasal wetness
Eye stain dye tests
Tear film break-up time (<10 seconds)
Tear protein levels (lactorerrin and lysozyme
Positive Schrimer's test. In this test, a small piece of filter paper is placed under your lower eyelid to measure your tear production.
Slit-lamp test. An ophthalmologist, a physician specializing in the treatment of eye disorders, may also examine the surface of your eyes with a magnifying device called a slit lamp. He or she may place a drop of liquid containing a dye in your eye to make any damage to your cornea easier to see.
Rose Bengal staining of eye (cornea or conjunctiva)
Lissamine green
Evaluation of debris in tear film
Conjunctival impression cytoloty
Presence of corneal filaments
Mouth exam
Salivary gland biopsy of the lip
SS-A antibody blood test - also called SS-Ro
SS-B antibodies - also called SS-La
Antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) blood test (positive in most cases)
Antithyroid antibody blood test
Immunoglobulins blood test
Gamma globulins blood test
Cryoglobulin test
Spit test. In this test, you spit into a test tube every minute for 15 minutes. The total amount of saliva collected is then measured to determine the severity of your dry mouth.
Urine sample. Your doctor may want you to provide a urine sample that can be analyzed in the laboratory to determine whether Sjogren's syndrome has affected your kidneys.
Rheumatoid factor (RF) (may be positive)
Antibodies specific to Sjögren's syndrome: Anti-SS-A (also called Ro) and Anti-SS-B (also called La)- (frequently positive)
HLA-DR positive glandular cells
Sialogram detects dye that's injected into your parotid glands, located behind your jaw and in front of your ears. This procedure shows how much saliva flows into your mouth.
Salivary scintigraphy. This nuclear medicine test involves the injection of a radioactive isotope, which is tracked to measure your salivary gland function.
Low red blood count (anemia) is common

Q: Creating and loading big 3D objects into Cesium I'm trying to create and load 3D objects into Cesium.
I need to create these objects programmatically (by using some import-transformation service, .NET platform used) from various sources
I have experience of doing it in THREEJS.
I read DXF file, convert entities into PostGIS geometries, triangulate (to create surface from elevation data), tessellate geometries and finally construct
THREEJS-compatible scene (JSON format, Gzipped, THREE.BufferGeometry used). This works pretty well: no problems with loading hungreds of thousands triangles/points.
Sometimes I use webworkers just to request and parse JSON.
Also, I was able to load pretty big (40mb) geojson into my OpenLayers client app without any problem (Map and WebGLMap)
But I can't load even 20mb geojson (polylines) into cesium (1.51.0)!
viewer.dataSources.add(Cesium.GeoJsonDataSource.load('data/geojson/test1.geojson'));

gives me
An error occurred while rendering. Rendering has stopped.

Why is that?
What can I do? GLTF/GLB/3D tiles are pretty complex formats. There is no rich tool set to customize/control object creation using these formats.
I do not want to buy super-duper (really) FME Server to create GLTFs...
Maybe I can use czml to load complex geometries, using polylines etc)?

A: this may not be the best option to get a surface model into cesium but I manage to visualize surface models by the help of polygon entity in cesium. If you create your surface model using Delaunay Triangulation with the option 2, which means TIN, you could get each individual triangles creating the surface. Just dump all the points that builds the triangles and you will get a proper ordered points to visualize the surface. The rest of it is looping through the points and creating polygons. Lets say you export the points from postgis as geojson then you need to loop through your points three by three cause one triangle contains 3 points;
We can use polygon entity in cesium with perPositionHeight option true. So the code could be something like this in JS;
for (var i = 0; i < designSurface.coordinates.length; i += 4) {
viewer.entities.add({
    parent: design,
    name: 'Cyan vertical polygon with per-position heights and outline',
    polygon: {
        hierarchy: Cesium.Cartesian3.fromDegreesArrayHeights([
            ...designSurface.coordinates[i],
            ...designSurface.coordinates[i + 1],
            ...designSurface.coordinates[i + 2],
        ]),
        perPositionHeight: true,
        material: Cesium.Color.CYAN.withAlpha(0.5),
        outline: true,
        outlineColor: Cesium.Color.BLACK,
        heightReference: Cesium.HeightReference.RELATIVE_TO_GROUND
    }
})

Healthy drivers caught misusing blue disabled badges sentenced
PUBLISHED: 08:00 27 December 2018
Three drivers have been fined for abusing the blue disabled badge parking system.
Vivienne Docwra, David Allen, both of Weston, and 53-year-old Kirsty Harper were sentenced at North Somerset Courthouse.
The former, aged 68, parked a silver Peugeot in Walliscote Grove Road East car park in July but used the badge belonging to her mother to claim free parking.
Docwra, of Raven Close, was fined £100 and ordered to pay costs of £85 and £30 victim surcharge.
Allen, of beechmount Drive, used his wife's badge, even though she was at home, to park his red Jaguar in Carlton Street's multi-storey.
The 52-year-old was fined £235 and had to pay the same legal costs and victim surcharge.
Harper, who lives in Yatton's Henley Park, used her husband's pass and lied to a warden that he was with her at the Town Hall but later admitted what she had done.
She received the same penalty as Docwra.
Cllr Elfan Ap Rees, North Somerset Council's deputy leader and executive member for transport, said: "Once again these cases demonstrate a range of misuse and excuses to try and justify their use.
"There is no justification.
"Not only is it dishonest but is very unfair to genuine disabled badge holders who need to use the designated bays.
"Our civil enforcement officers will always take action when necessary and I hope these prosecutions provide a salutary lessons to those who think they might get away with it."

Theodor Kleehaas (* 9. oder 10. November 1854 in Germersheim; † 21. Januar 1929 in München) war ein deutscher Porträt- und Genremaler.

Leben

Der Kaufmannssohn Theodor Kleehaas wurde im Cooperschen Institut in New York im Zeichnen ausgebildet, ehe er 1879 an die Kunstakademie in München wechselte. Zu seinen dortigen Lehrern gehörten Alexander Strähuber, Gyula Benczúr und Alexander von Wagner. Ab 1889 stellte er regelmäßig im Münchner Glaspalast aus; 1893/94 beteiligte er sich an der Großen Berliner Kunstausstellung, 1897 erhielt er eine Silbermedaille für ein Werk, das im Londoner Kristallpalast gezeigt wurde.

Sein Atelier befand sich in der Schwindstraße 13 in München, wo er auch wohnte. Verheiratet war er mit Maria Anna, geb. Letz.

Kleehaas bereiste Italien, Frankreich und Belgien. Er blieb dem Stil der Münchner Genremalerei um 1880 treu und nahm nur wenige Anregungen aus dem Impressionismus auf. Englische und amerikanische Sammler kauften Werke von Kleehaas' Hand; in dem Album Junges Blut, das bei Bruckmann in München herauskam, sind zwölf seiner Gemälde im Lichtdruck abgebildet.

Theodor Kleehaas wurde auf dem Alten Nördlichen Friedhof in München bestattet. Sein Grab befindet sich im Gräberfeld 9, Reihe 3.

Am 6. Januar 2019 wurde eine Folge der Sendung Lieb & Teuer des NDR ausgestrahlt, die von Janin Ullmann moderiert und in Schloss Reinbek gedreht wurde. Darin wurde mit der Gemälde-Expertin Beate Rhenisch ein Ölgemälde von Theodor Kleehaas besprochen, das möglicherweise eine Jahrmarktszene zeigt.

Q: Jar dependencies compile time and runtime If by default, when I produce a jar application, the dependencies are not include, does that mean that the user should download all the dependencies of my app to use it?
Why includes dependencies in jar is not the default thing?
How can I expect users to have/download all the dependencies at with the exact version needed?

A: From https://imagej.net/Uber-JAR:

Advantages:
A single JAR file is simpler to deploy. There is no chance of mismatched versions of multiple JAR files. It is easier to construct a Java classpath, since only a single JAR needs to be included.
Disadvantages:
Every time you need to update the version of the software, you must redeploy the entire uber-JAR (e.g., ImageJ is ~68 MB as of May 2015). If you bundle individual JAR components, you need only update those that changed. This issue is of particular relevance to Java applications deployed via Java Web Start, since it automatically downloads the latest available version of each JAR dependency; in that case, your application startup time will suffer if you use the uber-JAR.
You cannot cherry-pick only the JARs containing the functionality you need, so your application's footprint may suffer from bloat.
If downstream code relies on any of the same dependencies which are embedded in an unshaded uber-jar, you may run into trouble (e.g., NoSuchMethodError for unshaded uber-JARs) with multiple copies of those dependencies on your classpath, especially if you need to use a different version of that dependency than is bundled with the uber-JAR.
As you can see, it is important to understand how use of the uber-JAR will affect your application. In particular, Java applications will likely be better served using the individual component JARs, ideally managed using a dependency management platform such as Maven or Ivy. But for non-Java applications, the uber-JAR may be sufficient to your needs.

It basically depends on the use case. If the jar will be used in development of other applications and its dependencies might be updated time to time, it makes sense to use a normal jar, but if the jar is to be run/deployed, it might be better to use an uber/fat jar.

The commercial tensions and the crisis of Venezuela this week focused the discussions of the spring assembly of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (WB), in which the limits of multilateralism were once again confirmed.
In addition, and despite a certain optimism about a probable rebound at the end of the year, the attacks of US President Donald Trump to the Federal Reserve (Fed) have renewed the stupor among the participants.
"I am worried about the independence of central banks in other countries, especially in the most important jurisdiction in the world," Mario Draghi, president of the European Central Bank (ECB), said on Saturday, in a comment as explicit as unusual about United.
That message did not seem to affect Trump, who on Sunday reiterated in a tweet that "if the Fed had done its job well, something that has not happened, the stock market would have risen" more and the US GDP. "It would have surpassed 4% instead of 3%, without almost inflation".
The independence of central banks is one of the bases of economic orthodoxy, so that Trump's recommendations that the Fed cut interest rates have been a new source of concern.
They are not, however, isolated, as other countries such as Turkey and India have expressed discomfort with the monetary policy of their central banks.
The meeting, in which ministers and central bankers from all over the world agree, supposes a thermometer on the health of the global economy and the effectiveness of multilateralism to solve the challenges.
Once again, the importance of free trade was reaffirmed and, once again, Trump turned a deaf ear to announcing new threats of tariffs, this time to the European Union (EU), from the White House, just four blocks from the IMF headquarters. in Washington.
All this in a highly complex global environment, with high levels of global debt and "very volatile financial conditions", which have caused an economic slowdown.
The Fund's new forecasts for this year are 3.3% for the global economy, 2 tenths less than in January, and the lowest rate since 2009.
The managing director of the IMF, Christine Lagarde, repeated during the week the mantra of the "delicate moment" of the world economy, something that other attendees echoed.
"There is a lot of noise in the global economy, investors are postponing their decisions" pending the clarification of prospects, said Carlos Urzúa, Mexico's finance secretary, at a press conference.
To this long list of uncertainties, the "dramatic" situation of Venezuela is added, in the words of Lagarde.
In almost all the meetings, several participating sources commented, the Venezuelan crisis was one of the topics to be discussed and one of the most worrying.
In an interview with Efe last Thursday, Lagarde said that the institution is ready for the day Venezuela says "please come help," but stressed that the support needed will be "huge."
In addition, the Venezuelan crisis has multiple edges beyond the economy, such as migration, with implications throughout the region.
Axel van Trotsenburg, vice president of the WB for Latin America, stressed that the "massive and rapid migration" from Venezuela is a humanitarian challenge "unprecedented" in the region, with more than 3.7 Venezuelans who have left the country in recent years .
Trotsenburg stressed that it is "the second largest crisis" of displaced people in the world, after that caused by the war in Syria.
But the diagnosis and the willingness of a large part of the international community to offer aid to Venezuela, whose tragic economic situation nobody rejects, clashes with geopolitical issues.
The regulations of the Fund prevent it from offering assistance to the opposition leader Juan Guaidó, who proclaimed himself president in January after declaring illegitimate the new term of Nicolás Maduro, while there is no consensus among its members on whether they recognize him.
More than 50 countries, led by the United States and most of Latin America, have recognized Guaidó as interim president of Venezuela, but some nations with significant weight within the IMF, such as Russia and China, continue to support Maduro.
"There are some members examining their position, and as soon as that happens and we can identify the authorities, we are prepared to act, and deploy all our resources if we are asked to help, along with others," Lagarde said Saturday.
Asked by Efe in case she had recently talked with Guaidó or Maduro, the managing director denied any contact, in an implicit acknowledgment of the stalemate.
"No, I have not had conversations with either of them," Lagarde stressed.

}

Unfortunately when i push the button, changes the picture of the button. How can i change the image in the image view?

A: You are setting the senders image.. which is your UIButton.. change this part of your code
wrong:
sender.setImage(UIImage(named:"Rectangle1.png"), for: [])
...
sender.setImage(UIImage(named:"Rectangle2.png"), for: [])

right:
image.image = UIImage(named:"Rectangle1.png")
...

Pilots and flight attendants are pressing for guidelines on how to react the next time passengers develop symptoms of the mystery illness known as SARS. Officials with the Centers for Disease Control say they are working with airline and cruise ship associations to standardize a response.
The illness, referred to as SARS, has killed at least 82 people in Asia and Canada and sickened at least 2,200 more. New guidelines should be ready within days, CDC officials said earlier this week.
Earlier this week, an American Airlines flight from Tokyo to San Jose radioed that there may be five suspected SARS cases on board. Local public health officials scrambled to respond, only to learn that none of the passengers had the illness.

Joe Morello began his construction career in 1974 and launched his own construction company in 1979 in Santa Maria, California (J.A. Morello Construction). For twenty-six years, Joe served companies throughout Southern California, specializing in a wide range of project types, including commercial & industrial facilities, space launch facilities, wineries, schools & universities and petroleum & nuclear facilities. Joe was an active member and also served as President of the Santa Maria Valley Contractors Association.
In late 2004, J.A. Morello Construction completed Grace Baptist Church in Santa Maria, CA, partnering with Building God's Way for the first time. It was during this project that the Lord made it clear to Joe that it was time to use the gifts God had given him to transform from the world's way of success into a Kingdom building form of significance.
In 2005, the leadership of Building God's Way invited Joe to become one of the original BGW builder partners covering the Intermountain West region.
Trusting in Him with a firm commitment to his faith, Joe relocated his business and his family to Utah and chose to dedicate the balance of his construction career to only Building God's Way projects. Since that time, Joe has worked with dozens of ministry-based organizations throughout Utah and the Intermountain Region and has developed a unique understanding of faith-based projects. Joe has a heart for helping ministries build the vision God has given them, while being the best possible stewards of their resources. He continues to remain a committed BGW Builder and has become a valuable part of the BGW family, providing quality control review expertise to the BGW Architectural team and serving as a member of the national BGW Builder Advisory Board.
"I have been blessed to be able to stand alongside a great number of churches and schools throughout this country since that decision was made and I intend to do so as part of Building God's Way for as long as I'm able to responsibly do so." - Joe Morello
Joe and his wife Karen have been married for 43 years. Their daughter Heather is married to Zach Cozzens and together they have two daughters, Greta and Gwendolyn. Their son Matt is married to Anne and together they have a daughter, Phoebe, and a son, Tony. Both live in Northern Utah.
BGW's mission is to further God's Kingdom by translating the God-given vision for Christian organizations through an innovative, stewardship-driven approach that results in high quality, cost-effective buildings that become dynamic tools for ministry. As we work to accomplish this mission, we seek to honor God by impacting the lives of our clients, our employees, and the communities in which we work. We believe that God owns this business and we are simply His stewards for a season. Our ultimate goal is to ensure that all we do in and through the business honors Him.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE.; Business Drops, but Rates Hold Firm -- Scandinavians Only Exception on Continued Selling.


Yeti In My Spaghetti is suitable for children aged 4+ and has an RRP of £19.99 and is for 2 or more players. This game is as crazy as it sounds .... take turns to carefully pull away the squiggly spaghetti sticks from the bowl, but be careful not to let the Yeti that is sat balancing on top tumble into the bowl. The player who makes the Yeti fall is the loser.
Setting up this game was really quick and easy and the rules are simple, take turns pulling a spaghetti stick and whoever knocks the Yeti who is balancing on top of the pile of spaghetti off loses. The game is recommended for children aged 4 + but my 3-year-old son loved this game as much as his four-year-old sister and had great fun playing and understood the rules. My children have loved playing this game together and can play it on their own. It is great for turn-taking and it kept my children entertained and resulted in lots of laughs from them both.
This game gets a big thumbs up from us as it is ideal for younger children a similar age to my own. You can buy Yeti In My Spaghetti from Amazon, Smyths and leading toy retailers for around £12.50 at the moment.
Don't Rock the Boat is for children aged 5+ and has an RRP of £14.99 and is for 2-4 players. Fancy yourself the challenge of balancing a crew of 16 pirate penguins? Take turns to balance the pirate penguins on the ship without making it tip!
Again this game was really easy to set up and my three and four years old both loved playing it despite being under the recommended age limit. I had to help them set the boat up and then once set up you take it in turns balancing a pirate penguin on the boat without tipping the boat over. My children did find it challenging balancing the penguins but they still found the game fun and had fun attempting to balance the penguins on the boat.
You can buy Don't Rock The Boat from Argos, Amazon and leading toy retailers for £14.99.
My children really enjoyed both of these games and they have certainly kept them occupied while we have been stuck indoors with chicken pox. They would make a great gift idea for any child and will be a great addition to any family game collection.
Disclosure we were sent these games for the purpose of this review, however all opinions are my own.

US to send more to troops to Mexican border
By Ros Krasny • Feb 4, 2019 at 9:30 AM
WASHINGTON –– The Defense Department will send about 3,750 more troops to U.S.-Mexico border, raising the number of active-duty troops there to about 4,350, the Pentagon said Sunday.
The troops will provide support to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, including a mobile surveillance capability through the end of September, and they will lay about 150 miles of concertina wire between ports of entry, the Defense Department said in a statement.
"Additional units are being deployed for 90 days, and we will continue to evaluate the force composition required to meet the mission to protect and secure the southern border," the Pentagon said. Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan approved the additional border support Jan. 11.
The Wall Street Journal reported Jan. 31 that more than 3,500 active-duty troops would be sent to the border, citing Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.
President Donald Trump said the same day that more troops would be sent to the border because of his concern about the approach of Central American migrants in so caravans.
The U.S. sent almost 6,000 troops to the southwest border before the midterm elections in November, but withdrew many of them weeks later.

Adult-Onset Still's Disease - Fight Like an AOSD Warrior Crewneck Sweatshirt 8 oz.
Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a form of Still's disease, a rare systemic auto-inflammatory disease characterized by persistent high spiking fevers, joint pain, and a distinctive salmon-colored bumpy rash. The disease is considered a disease of exclusion. The cause of AOSD is unknown, as are the risk factors. Some people can have as little as one episode of Still's Disease, while it can be a chronic issue for others. A relative of arthritis, Still's Disease can destroy affected joints, particularly the wrists. Symptoms of Adult Onset Still's Disease include high fevers (at least 102*), sore throat, achy/swollen joints, muscle pains, and a salmon-pink rash on the arms, legs, or torso. Like the indicative rash, the awareness ribbon for Adult Onset Still's Disease is salmon, as are the AOSD Warrior products in the Unchargeables Shop.

The recent few years have seen a rise in innovations in the interior design industry. Art movements, shifts in public opinion, and new heroes for the field have emerged and changed the way people look at commercial spaces. On this list are three very distinct trends in interior commercial design that brings excitement back to designers and their clients.
There is a global concern to how human movement impacts the planet at large. This has given rise to kind of interior design that puts prime importance on sustainability. Interior commercial design that takes into account energy saving and the use of low carbon footprint material has pushed many designers further.

Q: Why can't I boot xen hypervisor on Ubuntu 20.04.1? panic on cpu 0 timer doesn't work As the subject says I simply cannot boot into the hypervisor. I'm able to install it just fine though, it says something about the CPU when I try to boot and quickly just reboots. I have virtualization enabled. The most I'm able to see is that it says panic on cpu 0 before rebooting.
The laptop is an Asus ZenBook
The laptop cannot run in legacy mode, does this matter?


Coach Online Store floating around on-line. All the best . along with safe and sound searching! chenjiansu1029.
The Warriors� offense feeds off that stingy defense � with or without Stephen Curry in the lineup, again Tuesday it was without � and the combination can lead to big runs.
Golden State trailed by 17 at one point but came on in the fourth with a defensive energy that held Damian Lillard to 0-of-3 shooting and his entire Portland team to 26.5 percent shooting. Those miss shots fueled transition buckets and opportunities � Klay Thompson had 10 of his 27 points on the night in the fourth � and the Warriors roared back for a 110-99 victory.
The best player on the floor in Game 2 was Draymond Green, who finished with 17 points (on 20 shots), 14 rebound and seven assists. But that�s not where the damage he does starts � it�s on defense. His ability to defend the five, then show out high on pick-and-rolls to cut off Lillard or C.J. McCollum and take away their shots from three. With Curry out, Green also spends a lot of time as the guy initiating the Warriors offense. He crashes the boards. He protects the paint, including a key block late on Mason Plumlee. Green did it all."
" Portland raced out to a lead using their vintage style � their defense wasn�t that good, but it was good enough (especially with a cold Thompson who kept missing open looks), and their offense was hitting everything. With the Warriors missing shots it was Portland using the opportunity to run � and it was the Warriors defenders doing a poor job of recognizing the shooters and closing them out. So the opposite of Game 1.
Portland was also getting buckets from Al-Farouq Aminu � 10 first quarter points � and that�s always a good sign because he�s the guy (well, him and Maurice Harkless) that the Warriors will live with shooting.
But again, you knew the run was coming � and this time it was fueled by the Warriors defense. Festus Ezeli was a big part of that, his defensive presence in the paint helped turn things around, he was setting big screens to free up Thompson and others, plus he had eight points of his own in the quarter.

PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. ENRIQUE HINDOY and BELLA B. NEGROSA, Accused-Appellants.
DAVIDE, JR., C.J.:
This is an appeal by accused-appellants Enrique Hindoy (hereafter ENRIQUE) and Bella B. Negrosa (hereafter BELLA) from the decision 1 of 10 November 1994 of the Regional Trial Court of Pasig City, Branch 68, in Criminal Case No. 2674-D and Criminal Case No. 2675-D, finding them guilty beyond reasonable doubt of the crime of violating Sections 4 and 8, Article II of Republic Act No. 6425, as amended by Section 13 of Republic Act No. 7659, and sentencing them in each case to suffer the penalty of reclusion perpetua, with the attending accessory penalties, and to pay the costs of the suit.chanrob1es virtua1 1aw 1ibrary
In two separate informations dated 24 March 1994, ENRIQUE and BELLA were charged with violation of Section 8 and Section 4, Article II of Republic Act No. 6425, otherwise known as the Dangerous Drugs Act of 1972, as amended, which were respectively docketed as Criminal Case No. 2674-D and Criminal Case No. 2675-D. The informations allege as follows:chanrob1es virtual 1aw library
Criminal Case No. 2674-D
That on or about the 18th day of March, 1994, in the Municipality of Mandaluyong, Metro Manila, Philippines, and within the jurisdiction of this Honorable Court, the said accused, not being lawfully authorized to possess or otherwise use any prohibited [drug], did then and there willfully, unlawfully and knowingly have in their possession and under their custody and control 12.04 kilograms of compressed dried flowering tops which is a prohibited drug.
Contrary to law. 2
That on or about the 18th day of March, 1994, in the Municipality of Mandaluyong, Metro Manila, Philippines, and within the jurisdiction of this Honorable Court, the said accused, without having been authorized by law, did then and there willfully, unlawfully and feloniously sell, deliver and give away to another 1.01 kilogram of compressed dried flowering tops (marijuana), a prohibited drug, in violation of the above-cited law.
Based on the separate testimonies of PO3 Roberto Eugenio, SPO4 Jose Antiojo, SPO1 Bayani Prianes, and SPO1 Angel Cariaga, all of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Mandaluyong Police, at around 2 a.m. on 18 March 1994, a woman informant came to the station and reported that a certain "Bella" of 248 Sto. Rosario St., Mandaluyong, would be receiving a shipment of illegal drugs that day. On the strength of that information, Antiojo organized a team that would conduct a buy-bust operation. At around 3 a.m., the team, headed by Antiojo himself and guided by the woman informant, went to said address. Eugenio and Cariaga acted as poseur-buyers, while SPO4 Rolando Cruz, SPO3 Antonio Nato, and Prianes served as backup. They knocked on the door and BELLA's live-in partner ENRIQUE opened it. Eugenio said, "May bagong dating, kukuha kami (If there's new stuff, we'll get some)," referring to marijuana. ENRIQUE answered, "Meron" (Yes, there is) so Eugenio gave him one P500.00 and five P100.00 marked bills. After counting the money, ENRIQUE asked BELLA to get the stuff. She complied and brought a brick of marijuana, with an estimated weight of one kilogram, which was wrapped in newspaper. ENRIQUE, in turn, handed it over to Eugenio. That was when they identified themselves as police officers. After giving the prearranged signal to the backup operatives, he and Cariaga entered the house then announced that they were going to conduct a search. Under a table, they found a bag made of abaca containing twelve more bricks of marijuana. The evidence was marked then turned over to Prianes, who transmitted the same to the NBI for chemical analysis. 4
During the post-operation investigation, however, ENRIQUE and BELLA were not assisted by counsel. 5
Julieta C. Flores, Forensic Chemist II at the National Bureau of Investigation, made a chemical analysis of the seized evidence. Her findings are contained in the Certification 6 dated 20 March 1994 that she prepared in connection with the case. She found the specimens submitted by SPO1 Prianes positive for marijuana. The evidence consisted of (a) one block of compressed dried flowering tops wrapped in newsprint paper weighing 1.01 kilograms; and (b) twelve blocks of compressed dried flowering tops with a combined weight of 12.04 kilograms, which were individually wrapped in newsprint paper and bundled in a white plastic bag, which, in turn, was placed in a green and white bag.
ENRIQUE and BELLA denied the accusations and disclaimed the existence of the buy-bust operation.
According to BELLA, ENRIQUE arrived at her apartment at around 10 p.m. on 17 March 1994 after spending four days at his Aunt's wake at Sapang Palay. He drank two bottles of beer then went to sleep. Past 11 p.m., certain Marilyn knocked at her door and left a bag, which would be picked up at dawn by her neighbor Marites. 7 On cross-examination, however, she could not explain why she never asked Marilyn, a stranger as far as she was concerned, to just drop the bag at the place of Marites; neither did she inquire about its contents. 8
Around 3 a.m. on 18 March 1994, she was awakened by ENRIQUE's brother Renato, who was knocking loudly and asking her to open the door. This point was corroborated by Renato himself and a neighbor, Elino Corpes. 9 She added that when she opened the door, Antiojo entered the room, looking for three boxes of marijuana. A while later, he called his companions, Eugenio, Cariaga, and Prianes. She and ENRIQUE were handcuffed, then the police began searching the room. The police found the abaca bag left by Marilyn, which turned out to be filled with marijuana. The two were then taken to Antiojo's office, but at 7 a.m., they were detained at the Mandaluyong Jail. At 11 a.m., a certain police officer named Sta. Maria tried to transfer them to Bicutan. The transfer was, however, rejected and their return to Mandaluyong was ordered, apparently because they were arrested without a warrant. BELLA then heard Sta. Maria say that they would justify the arrest by making it appear that it was a result of a buy-bust operation. 10
ENRIQUE essentially corroborated what BELLA said. He testified that he arrived at his girlfriend BELLA's house at around 10 p.m. on 17 March 1994 after attending the wake of his paternal Aunt (whose name he cannot recall) at Sapang Palay. He drank two bottles of beer before sleeping and was awakened early in the morning by three policemen who immediately placed him in handcuffs. They started searching the room and found an abaca bag supposedly containing marijuana. During the police investigation, he was allegedly being forced to admit ownership of the marijuana so that his sentence could be lowered. He was taken to the CID detention cell and, around noon, was brought to the Bicutan Narcotics Unit. The police escorts, namely Prianes, a certain Sta. Maria, and the arresting officers, were apparently berated because they had no search and arrest warrants. Thus, they were transferred to the Eastern Police Department in Pasig, and in the morning, taken to Camp Crame where ENRIQUE was threatened, blindfolded, and strangled with his own belt. 11
In its decision 12 of 10 November 1994, the trial court decreed as follows:chanrob1es virtua1 1aw 1ibrary
WHEREFORE, in view of the foregoing, the Court hereby renders judgment finding accused ENRIQUE HINDOY and BELLA NEGROSA GUILTY beyond reasonable doubt of the crimes charged, and hereby imposes the following sentence:chanrob1es virtual 1aw library
1.	In Criminal Case No. 2674-D, applying the provisions of Sections 13 and 20 (should be 21) of Republic Act 7659, and considering the amount of marijuana seized, the penalty of RECLUSION PERPETUA and a fine of FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND PESOS (P500,000.00);
2.	In Criminal Case No. 2675-D, applying the aforementioned provisions of Republic Act 7659, and considering the amount of marijuana seized, the penalty of RECLUSION PERPETUA and a fine of FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND PESOS (P500,000.00).
The Dangerous Drugs Board is hereby ordered to send its representative armed with the proper authority to receive from this Court the subject marijuana for proper disposition within ten (10) days from receipt hereof.
Costs against both accused.
The trial court gave credence to the testimony of the police officers who conducted the buy-bust operation, as corroborated by forensics chemist Flores, and concluded that "the circumstances present in these cases impressed upon the Court that, indeed, there was a negotiation conducted between the pushers and the poseur-buyers." 13 It also considered the sworn statement of BELLA where she said, "Sa kagustuhan kong masuportahan ang aking mga anak sa una kong asawa na nasa mga magulang kong nasa probinsiya ay pumayag akong tanggapin na pag-iwanan ng nasabing bagay," ("In my desire to support my children from my first marriage who are living with my parents in the province, I agreed to safe-keep the said object.") 14
ENRIQUE and BELLA, through counsel, filed their Notice of Appeal 15 on 9 January 1995 but lodged the same with the Court of Appeals. In its Resolution 16 of 20 June 1996, the Court of Appeals, in CA-G.R. CR No. 17394, dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction, since their cases fall within the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, as clearly stated in Section 5(d), Article VIII of the Constitution and pursuant to Supreme Court Circular No. 2-90, which does not allow "transfers of appeals erroneously taken to the Supreme Court or to the Court of Appeals to whichever of these Tribunals has appropriate appellate jurisdiction."cralaw virtua1aw library
Sensing the urgency of rectifying such erroneous filing, BELLA wrote a letter 17 dated 8 October 1996 to the Supreme Court, praying that she be allowed to appeal her case to the Court. The case was docketed as UDK-12220. On 4 June 1997, Atty. Liwayway J. Nazal de los Santos of the Public Attorney's Office filed a Manifestation and Motion, 18 saying that BELLA "has a meritorious reason to appeal her case" and praying that her appeal be allowed to proceed "in the name of substantial and compassionate justice." For its part, the Office of the Solicitor General, in its Comment 19 dated 10 September 1997, made the following observations: (1) the dismissal of BELLA's appeal was a result of her counsel's inadvertence, hence, it was a dismissal based purely on a technicality; (2) counsel's error is not entirely implausible; and (3) BELLA's life and liberty were grievously at stake.
Taking these submissions into consideration, the Court, in its Resolution 20 dated 22 October 1997, resolved to consider BELLA's appeal to the Court of Appeals as an appeal to this Court; set aside the 20 June 1996 Resolution of the Court of Appeals in CA-G.R. CR No. 17394, dismissing BELLA's appeal; and require the Court of Appeals to elevate the records of the case to the Supreme Court within twenty days from notice.
On 4 March 1998, the Court resolved to docket the records of UDK-12220 as a regular appeal, which was docketed as G.R. No. 132662. After the parties had submitted their respective briefs, the Court consolidated these two cases and declared that its earlier Resolution of 22 October 1997 also benefits accused-appellant ENRIQUE. The dismissal of his appeal by the Court of Appeals was thus vacated. 21
In their consolidated brief, ENRIQUE and BELLA made the following assignment of errors:chanrob1es virtual 1aw library
THE TRIAL COURT ERRED IN FINDING THE SEARCH AND ARREST OF THE TWO (2) ACCUSED-APPELLANTS WITHOUT WARRANT TO FALL UNDER THE DOCTRINE OF WARRANTLESS SEARCH, AN INCIDENT TO A LAWFUL ARREST.
THE COURT A QUO COMMITTED A REVERSIBLE ERROR IN ADMITTING THE COMPRESSED MARIJUANA FLOWERING TOPS ADDUCED IN EVIDENCE BY THE PROSECUTION.chanrob1es virtua1 1aw 1ibrary
In essence, ENRIQUE and BELLA maintain that they could not have committed the crimes charged in the informations because they were sleeping at the time said crimes were allegedly perpetrated. Consequently, the search conducted by the police officers was not incidental to a lawful warrantless arrest. The confiscated contraband was, therefore, inadmissible in evidence against them. 22
After poring over the evidence on record, we are fully convinced that the culpability of ENRIQUE and BELLA for the crimes charged was established beyond reasonable doubt. The testimony of witnesses for the prosecution was not only unwavering but consistent with usual police practice. Furthermore, they absolutely had no ill-motive to incriminate and testify against ENRIQUE and BELLA. It is doctrinally settled that the absence of evidence as to an improper motive strongly tends to sustain the conclusion that none existed and that the testimony is worthy of full faith and credit. 23
Moreover, being police officers, they are presumed to have performed their duties regularly, that they acted within the bounds of their authority, unless the contrary is shown. 24 No controverting fact was established by ENRIQUE and BELLA, so the testimony of the prosecution witnesses must be given full faith and credence.
The main witness in this case is PO3 Eugenio, the poseur-buyer. His credibility as a witness was never impeached by the defense, and he was able to narrate in detailed fashion the events that eventually led to the apprehension and detention of ENRIQUE and BELLA. Thus, he stated:chanrob1es virtual 1aw library

The evidence for the prosecution fully proved beyond reasonable doubt the elements necessary to successfully prosecute a case for the illegal sale of a prohibited drug, namely, (a) identity of the buyer and the seller, the object, and the consideration; and (b) the delivery of the things sold and the payment therefor. 26
After chemical analysis by an NBI forensics expert, the thirteen (13) blocks of suspected marijuana, with a combined weight of 13 05 kilograms, which were found in and seized from the residence of BELLA, were determined to be genuine marijuana. 27
The identity of ENRIQUE and BELLA as the sellers and possessors of the seized marijuana cannot be doubted, for they were caught in flagrante delicto in a standard police buy-bust operation. Such positive identification prevails over their feeble denial and declaration that the abaca bag which contained twelve blocks of marijuana was only left to their custody by a certain Marlyn. 28
Moreover, under the circumstances, it was the duty of the police officers to conduct a more thorough search of the premises after a successful entrapment, then make the necessary arrest of the suspects and seizure of suspected contraband. The search, being incident to a lawful arrest, was valid notwithstanding the absence of a warrant. In fact, the warrantless search and seizure, as an incident to a suspect's lawful arrest, may extend beyond the person of the one arrested to include the premises or surrounding under his immediate control. 29
It is true that under Section 2, Article III of the 1987 Constitution, "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures of whatever nature and for any purposes shall be inviolable, and no search warrant or warrant of arrest shall issue except upon probable cause to be determined personally by the judge after examination under oath or affirmation of the complainant and the witnesses he may produce, and particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized." It is equally true that any evidence obtained in violation of such right shall be inadmissible in evidence. 30 This right, however, is not without exceptions, as in instances of searches incidental to lawful arrests. Under paragraph (a), Section 5, Rule 113 of the Rules of Court, a peace officer may, without a warrant, arrest a person when in his presence the person to be arrested has committed, is actually committing, or is attempting to commit an offense.
In the case at bar, upon consummation of the illicit sale, PO3 Eugenio introduced himself and SPO1 Cariaga as police officers. ENRIQUE and BELLA were apprised of their constitutional rights. Thereafter, the officers searched the room where BELLA supposedly got the first block of marijuana. There, they found an abaca bag under a folding table. Upon inspection, the bag yielded twelve more blocks of compressed marijuana inside a plastic bag. 31 The trial court, therefore, was correct in admitting all thirteen blocks of marijuana in evidence.chanrob1es virtua1 1aw 1ibrary
Likewise, the trial court did not err when it convicted ENRIQUE and BELLA of illegal possession of prohibited drugs punishable under Section 8 of R.A. No. 6425, as amended. In People v. Lacerna, 32 possession of marijuana is absorbed in the sale thereof, except where the seller is further apprehended in possession of another quantity of the prohibited drugs not covered. by or included in the sale and which are probably intended for some future dealings or use by the seller.
The records, indeed, reveal that aside from selling one block of marijuana to the arresting officers, Accused-appellants were also caught in possession of another 12.04 kilograms of marijuana in twelve individually wrapped blocks, hidden in a bag under a table in their house. Their possession thereof gives rise to a disputable presumption under Section 3[j], Rule 131 of the Rules of Court, that they were the owners of the same. Said provision states as follows:chanrob1es virtual 1aw library
SECTION 3. Disputable Presumptions. — The following presumptions are satisfactory if uncontradicted, but may be contradicted and overcome by other evidence:chanrob1es virtual 1aw library
(j)	. . ., that things which a person possesses, or exercises acts of ownership over, are owned by him;
The uncorroborated assertion of ENRIQUE and BELLA that the abaca bag belongs to a certain Marlyn who left it in their care 33 amounts to a bare denial which, by itself, is insufficient to overcome this legal presumption.
WHEREFORE, the decision of 10 November 1994 of the Regional Trial Court of Pasig City, Branch 68, in Criminal Case No. 2674-D and Criminal Case No. 2675-D, finding accused-appellants ENRIQUE HINDOY and BELLA B. NEGROSA guilty beyond reasonable doubt of violating Sections 8 and 4, Article II of Republic Act No. 6425, as amended by Section 13 of Republic Act No. 7659, and sentencing them in each case to suffer the penalty of reclusion perpetua with the attending accessory penalties, and to pay the costs of the suit, is hereby AFFIRMED in toto.

The Kittanning Path was a major east-west Native American trail that crossed the Allegheny Mountains barrier ridge connecting the Susquehanna River valleys in the center of Pennsylvania to the highlands of the Appalachian Plateau and thence to the western lands beyond drained by the Ohio River. Kittanning Village was the first major Delaware (Lenape) Indian settlement along the descent from the Allegheny Plateau.

Nature and the path

The path is made up of a "series of path alternatives" that pass through seasonally or directionally more or less difficult notches— the gaps were among only five places that could be crossed by animal power from east to west across the Appalachian Mountains west of New England. The Kittanny path (by other names) would also come to be used first by Dutch, then English and British colonial fur traders, as well as Amerindian emigrants moving westwards before and after the French and Indian War and in the post-1780 settlers migrations west of the Mountain as the American Revolution entered its final years.

For centuries the Kittanning Path, like the similar Chief Nemacolin's Trail to the south, was the overland route through very tough country for Native American peoples. They included Iroquoian-speaking tribes, such as the Erie, Susquehannock, and the Five Nations of the Iroquois confederacy, as well as the Algonquian-speaking Lenape, Miami, and Siouan Shawnee. Early European explorers and settlers also learned to use the Indian paths to cross the Allegheny Mountains barrier ridge.

The path made use of one of the few so-called gaps of the Allegheny that accompanied the feedwater streams draining into the Juniata River, a tributary of the Susquehanna that terminated on the Allegheny River due Northeast of Pittsburgh in what is now Armstrong County, Pennsylvania at the Native American Kittanning Village (at present-day Kittanning, Pennsylvania).

By the time of the French and Indian War, starting in 1754, Kittanning Village was believed by Europeans to be the largest Native American village in the Ohio Country west of the Alleghenies. It was located in an area of Pennsylvania that had been closed to white settlement by the original treaty of William Penn with the Lenape.

In an attempt to settle frontier borders and reduce conflict among Indian tribes, the English and Native Americans signed the Treaty of Fort Stanwix after the French and Indian War. It opened some of Pennsylvania west of the Alleghenies to white settlement.  In the 1750s, this area had been the scene of a fierce raids by Native Americans against white settlement, and a major British retribution campaign.

A section of the original path is preserved in northwestern Cambria County.

Description (East to West)
It began southeast of Altoona at Frankstown on the Juniata River. It ran west, crossing the Allegheny Ridge approximately 5 mi (8 km) west of Altoona at Kittanning Gap, later the location of the Horseshoe Curve railroad site.

The path ran northwest through Cambria County, passing east of Carrolltown. It entered Indiana County approximately 1 mi (1.6 km) south of Cherry Tree at "Canoe Place", the uppermost
Native American canoe portage on the West Branch of the Susquehanna.

It followed a southwest course, through Yellow Creek State Park, then along the headwaters of Two Lick Creek, roughly past Uniontown, Pennsylvania (not the current Uniontown), Cookport, and Diamondville to U.S. Highway 422. It followed the approximate present course of the highway west and NNW through Indiana to Shelocta. It crossed into Armstrong County near Elderton and ended at the village of Kittanning on the east bank of the Allegheny.

History
The path was in use as early as 1721.  In 1744 the English trader John Hart was granted a license by colonial authorities to trade with the Indians in western Pennsylvania lands, which were then closed to white settlement. Hart established a way station campsite, called Hart's Sleeping Place, near the continental divide in Cambria County. The way station appeared on colonial maps and was used in 1752 by Gov. James Hamilton, and in 1754 by John Harris, the founder of Harrisburg. The last Native American encampment was recorded at the site in 1781.

In the 1750s the path became the raiding route taken by Lenape. Unhappy with a treaty that took away much of their land rights in western Pennsylvania, they raided white settlements in central Pennsylvania. In 1755, the Lenape chief Shingas used the trail to attack British settlements along the Juniata River, returning with captives to the village of Kittanning. In early August 1756, the Lenape used the path for a raid to burn Fort Granville near present-day Lewistown, when they also took prisoners.

After the fort was burned, the British dispatched Lt. Colonel John Armstrong for retaliation. He pursued the Lenape along the path and camped at Canoe Place in early September; he continued to the village of Kittanning, which he destroyed on 8 September. Armstrong earned the accolade among British colonials as "the Hero of Kittanning" for the raid. He later served as a Major General for the United States in the American Revolutionary War and was elected to the Second Continental Congress.

The path was also traveled by early German pioneer Conrad Weiser, who was accompanied by William Franklin, the son of Benjamin Franklin. Weiser recorded the journey in his journal.

The Kittanning Path is not to be confused with the Kittanning Road, which was built by American rebel forces in 1779 during the Sullivan Expedition. The Kittanning Road followed a more northerly course, running from Kittanning to the site of what is now Olean, New York.

Preservation
The trail has been surveyed by historians through Cambria County. An authentic section of the original trail is preserved near Eckenrode Mill east of Carrolltown.
