Today we will be discussing a fundamental building block in the basic pragmatic and aesthetic functions of document design and technical communications: font choice. Although to some, choices in font may seem arbitrary, a matter of taste or preference—choices in font are vital to a document's ability both to be pleasing to the eye and to be easily legible. Particularly when dealing with longer documents, maintaining both of these aspects of presentation will result in a document that is easier and less tiresome to read, which is ideal for your user. While certain technical documents will be dictated by a style guide that pre-selects the appropriate font and sizing, many times a choice in font will be left open to interpretation, and in those moments it is useful to have a few design principles in your back pocket to understand typography better.
First, let's discuss three of the basic types of font categories, their characteristics, and their uses.
Serif fonts are globally some of the most popular typefaces, and are recognizable by the linear flourish or flares emanating out from the letters, emulating brushstrokes. These marks are the serifs themselves. Examples of popular serif typefacing are fonts such as Times New Roman, Palatino, or Garamond. Serif fonts endure in popularity in part because they are so easy to read as large bodies of text. While they may not have the contemporary style and clean lines of a san-serif font, your general serif font such as Times New Roman will look best in a long body paragraph like an essay or long email. Serif fonts are especially useful when employed in ink-and-paper, non-electronic print media.
Sans-serif fonts, are—as the name implies, fonts that have been stripped of their brushstroke emulations in favor of a cleaner typeface style that is more congruous with bold statement pieces of texts such as headings and logos. Examples of common sans-serif fonts are Verdana, Arial, and Helvetica. Helvetica has been favored in use in both advertising, and infrastructural signage in part because of its clear and legible style that can be rendered in many languages. Sans serif font allow the designer or communicator more creative control with the size, weight (how thick or thin the typeface seems), and kerning (letter spacing). However, it should be noted that since sans-serif fonts do not guide the eye along in a horizontal fashion like serif fonts do, sans-serif fonts are best employed for emphasis and for short-form pieces of text.
Script typefaces are the most formal and elaborate forms of typeface, meant to mimic calligraphy or handwriting. Script fonts are essentially cursive, and have the most flourishes of any font type. Because of this, they are perhaps the most aesthetically distinctive and expressive of the typefaces, but they are also the least legible and least suitable for bodies of text. Due to all of their flourishes, script fonts also tend to take up the most space on the page. It is important when using script fonts to pay attention to the size and kerning of your font choice, since all of those flourish-heavy letters will often compete for space and attention with one another. The most appropriate uses for script fonts are for cards, invitations, letter head, and other formal and announcement-based contexts for typeface.
Who is "the regulated public" in the Plain Regulations Act of 2012? How does "the regulated public" link to a "technical communicator"?—Hint neither of them have yet to really be defined by our government.
Tags: " "technical communicator, " "the regulated public", "Plain Regulation Act of 2012, "Plain Regulations Act of 2012"
Who is "the regulated public" this specific Act first addresses? I had to dig in here. Upon searching The Library of Congress website, it pulled "the regulated public" up in 55 bills from 1989 to current. Of my randomly selected documents to search from these pulls, several pertained to regulated public utilities and a couple of bills did not even pull up any text in the PDF file search box for the phrase. H.R. 926 was passed by the House and H.R. 2586 was passed by both the House and Senate, thus becoming a Bill. This Act and Bill both use "the regulated public" in the same context used by the Act being examined.
I am stunned there appears to be no definition of the phrase that stands alone. Nope, I found it was not listed in the Oxford English Dictionary Online and didn't pull anything in either the Google or Yahoo search engines. The main use I found put the phrase "regulated public" in front of utilities, access, or transport. I would like to note that the purpose section of the Plains Regulation Act of 2012 uses the term "public" twice. I am confused! Are we considered "the regulated public," the "public," or both? Further clarification is needed.
The government also needs to examine and clarify what it considers a "technical communicator" to be. I question when the government is going to attempt to comprehensively define the role. The Bureau of Labor Statistics in the Occupation Outlook Handbook does notion the subject as technical writers are "also called technical communicators," therefore recognizing existence of the occupation. Please realize I am not discrediting the BLS as it was only in December of 2009 that a technical writer chapter was added to the handbook (STC Chicago Blog), but this is a limited interpretation as the technical communication field is rapidly evolving.
The STC website provides an accurate definition of technical communication and ends with "What all technical communicators have in common is a user-centered approach to providing the right information, in the right way, at the right time to make someone's life easier and more productive." Is this not the whole idea of the Plain Regulations Act of 2012? In fact, it is!
The governing entities have not provided "the regulated public" or the "technical communicator" with accurate definitions as to who they are. Please ponder the idea that four members of the House potentially seem to aim at influencing further progression of a culture by changing their own previous methods of communication, thus acknowledging and placing themselves in the mindset of both unidentified roles. Interesting!

Die Könitz Porzellan GmbH ist eine Firma in Könitz, einem Ortsteil der Gemeinde Unterwellenborn. Zum Unternehmen zählen die Wiedemannsche Druckerei und die Marke WAECHTERSBACH.

Zeittafel

Geschichte

Gründungsjahre
Gegründet 1909 von Alois Rödl und Max Metzel. Man firmierte Könitzer Porzellanfabrik, Rödl & Metzel GmbH.  1909 wurde in Könitz die Porzellanfabrik mit vier Rundöfen in Betrieb genommen. Die ersten Produkte – Tassen, Kaffeebecher, Schüsseln, Teesätze u. a. – gingen hauptsächlich nach England. Bereits 1912 musste die Firma wegen der starken Nachfrage erweitert werden. 1913 scheidet Alois Rödel aus dem Unternehmen aus. Firmiert ab 1914 daher als Könitzer Porzellanfabrik, Gebr. Metzel. In den folgenden Jahrzehnten konnten durch ein verändertes Firmenkonzept viele, auch internationale, Märkte gewonnen werden. 1930 sind Richard und Max Metzel die Inhaber. Am Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges galt die Könitzer Porzellanfabrik als eines der bestgeführten mittelständischen Unternehmen. Die sowjetische Besatzungsmacht veranlasste 1948 die Übernahme des Werkes in die "Sowjetische A.G. Keramische Werke Hermsdorf" zur Produktion ausschließlich technischen Porzellans. Mit dem Wegfall der Reparationszahlungen ging der Betrieb 1951 in Volkseigentum über, blieb aber Teil der Hermsdorfer Werke. 1954 nahm das Werk, nun in eigener Regie, wieder die Produktion von Haushaltsporzellan auf.

Die Periode der Vereinigten Porzellanwerke Könitz-Kahla
Im Jahre 1962 schlossen sich das Könitzer Porzellanwerk und das Kahlaer Porzellanwerk zu den "Vereinigten Porzellanwerken Könitz-Kahla" zusammen. Während dieser Zeit gab es eine gemeinsame Bodenmarke mit dem Namen "Vereinigte Porzellanwerke Könitz-Kahla". Anfang der 1970er Jahre verschwand der Name Könitz für fast 20 Jahre aus der Bodenmarke als noch weitere Porzellanwerke, u. a. Volkstedt, Uhlstädt, Garsitz bei Königsee und Langenberg in Gera sich zum Kombinat Kahla zusammenschlossen. Zwischen 1984 und 1985 trugen Investitionen dazu bei, dass in Könitz die modernste Bechertaktstraße in Europa entstand. Im Dezember 1985 ging diese in Betrieb. Neben Kahla Porzellan war Könitz Porzellan eines der wenigen Porzellanwerke, das nach der Wende weiterbestand. Das vorhandene Bechersortiment wurde um neue Formen und Designs erweitert.

Aufbruch durch Eigenständigkeit
Nach der Wende kaufte am 21. Dezember 1993 Turpin Rosenthal, ein Sohn von Philip Rosenthal, Könitz Porzellan von der Treuhand. Durch die Entwicklung eigener Kollektionen und der Spezialisierung auf Sonderanfertigungen für Werbekunden entstand das Synonym als Becherspezialist. Im Jahr 2000 beteiligte sich Könitz Porzellan an der Wiedemannsche Druckerei, 2001 wurde die thailändische Tochterfirma Konitz Asia gegründet. 2006 übernahm Könitz Porzellan die Unternehmen Waechtersbacher Keramik und Weimarer Porzellanmanufaktur.
Einhergehend mit umfangreichen Investitions- und Umbaumaßnahmen, wie z. B. der Kauf des neuen Dekorbrandofens 2008, baute Könitz seine Stellung am internationalen Markt stetig weiter aus.

Gegenwart
2009 feierte Könitz sein 100-jähriges Bestehen. Im Zuge dessen wurde der Werksverkauf umstrukturiert und renoviert und Anfang September 2009 neueröffnet.

Die eigenen Kollektionen unter der Marke Könitz werden seitdem auch durch die Produktion und Vertrieb namhafter Lizenzen wie Der Kleine Prinz, Asterix, Weißt du eigentlich wie lieb ich dich hab und Picasso stetig ausgebaut. Zudem werden neben Werbekunden zunehmend Kunden aus dem Bereich Merchandising und Handel weltweit in 80 Ländern bedient.

Korean Central Television (KCTV), the only official source of television news for North Koreans, has taken the unprecedented step of shaming a foreign media company for unduly influencing the political views of a citizenry.
After biting their tongues for years over Murdoch's absurdly biased Australian politics coverage, the headlines about the Australian Prime Minister calling the election tipped KCTV over the edge.
A spokesperson for the station, the core programming of which focuses on the history and achievements of the ruling Korean Workers' Party, the Korean People's Army (KPA) and leader Kim Jong-Un, said Murdoch's cheerleading for the Liberal Party was "a little much".
Longtime chief newsreader Ri Chun-hee also criticised the tone of the News Corp headlines and articles was "far too melodramatic for a news source".

NASA's Curiosity finds new water evidence in possible cracked mud
If true, it'll be the first mud confirmed by the rover.
NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS
David Lumb|@OutOnALumb|January 17, 2017 9:10 PM
NASA's four-year-old Curiosity rover spent 2016 discovering new clues to Mars' history, including veins potentially from evaporated lakes and mineral deposits suggesting the planet once had oxygen. The craft spent the beginning of 2017 examining a newly-discovered natural formation: Rock cross-cut with ridges, which are probably mud cracks.
Assuming that interpretation holds up, it will be the first mud cracks (okay, "desiccation cracks") confirmed by the rover. Regardless, the cracked surface formed 3 billion years ago and was buried by layers of sediment, which all became stratified rock, according to a NASA blog post. Wind erosion exposed the split pieces, which are located in an area known as "Old Soaker" on lower Mount Sharp. Other evidence in the site includes a layering pattern called cross-bedding, which could have formed where water flowed vigorously, as in near the shore of a lake. Then again, it could have been made from windblown sediment during a dry episode.
Mars once had lakes, or at least wetter conditions than it does today, based on the latest data from @MarsCuriosity: https://t.co/6hGhodCQwE pic.twitter.com/SLKmW0wgj8

Kalein determined that, rather than selling it off it would be better served as a donation to the museum.
Kalein Hospice Centre, located in a former monastery in Rosemont, recently found an old ironing press — previously used by the Sisters of the Precious Blood — while cleaning and organizing one of the storage areas in the building.
After consultation with Touchstones Nelson and others, Kalein determined that, rather than selling it off along with the other remaining pieces of old furniture, it would be better served as a donation to the museum.
Leah Best, Executive Director of Touchstones Nelson Museum was pleased to hear about the find and what it represents.
Touchstones Nelson will be holding its 4th Annual Fall Family Fair on Sunday, October 27 from noon to 4 p.m. and half the proceeds of the event will be donated to Kalein Hospice Centre.
Kalein is dedicated to creating an integrated campus for dialogue and education, and care at end of life.

"People around me are carrying on with 'the silly game'," Kitty told us over tea in the shop two days later eyeing up Phyliss dubiously. "Aren't you one of them girls in that club?" she asked her coldly.
"I was," admitted Phyliss putting the tea cup down on the side in the kitchen. "I told them I had too. much to do here, and gave up. I was sick of it all. Hardly fair is it?"
"What is the club like?" she asked hesitantly, "I mean, I knew what it was like, and then they kicked all the over 45's..."
I began to giggle.
Phyliss struggled not to laugh.
"What have I said?" she said puzzled. She wasn't all that sure we were really friendly.
Phyliss pointed at me, "She joined regardless of the rules. Over 45 and gets off with a younger man!"
"Wow!" she said, "How did you do it?"
"I wear leggings," I told her pointing at my leggings proudly. "Little minds! Easily confused!"
Phyliss leaned over the table. "I think they are all lesbians!" she said with a wink at our new friend. "That's why the leggings did it!"
"Huh!" I said coldly, this joke was going far to far. "I'll wash up." I left them to it.
"What are you going to do about it all?" she said to Kitty. "You have to watch your post as well. Check what you expect arrives - arrives. They up to all sorts of tricks. They'll say their name is similiar, they'll swear that you pinch their post and don't give it back. They wait for the post all over the place, and say you are a relative and they'll take it over, course they don't."
Kitty nodded. "I know, I realised that when I saw someone else was worried about their post disappearing!"
"What's the game right now?" Phyliss asked, "Is it the worry you to death game?"
"I suppose it might be, some man in a car stops outside and yells, has she changed yet!"
"Is that it?" asked Phyliss. "Are yotu sure its for you? All this harrassment?"
"I'm not sure of anything right now," said Kitty, looking at me, worried lines meeting over her eyes. "I think he means is she dead yet. Perhaps I ought to go home."
I watched as she practically ran out of the shop door.
Phyllis looked at me silently. A tear ran down her face. "At first I thought it was all over that man - they all slept with. They all took turns, had a list in one of the shops. It isn't is it?"
I shook my head. "Its about money! The man is a red herring!"
Phyliss swore loudly and left the room.
A customer came in so I jumped up ready to serve her. We got into a conversation about a dance dress, possibly red with diamonante and ruffles, by the time she came back. She dragged out the design book, and I explained how she was the owner and designer and left them to it.
After the customer had left an order for a dance dress, made to her exact requirement for a dance competition Phyliss turned to me, "How do we tell Kitty the rest?"
"What rest?" I asked innocently, "I think she knows that everyone slept with him so she's put off for ever."
"Its more than that," she answered slowly, "I think they are after him too, I heard its so he can't say he hasn't had women! Perhaps even..."
"Even?"
"The insurance scam. They insure people they don't agree with, and wait for them to die. They saying it won't be long. Everyone pays in, plays the horrid game and gets a pay out in two years time. That's so their own insurance pays out too... they'd intercept that given the chance. God knows who started that one... I just heard the people in the street grumbling that it was taking way too long. They'd paid in enough!"
"Hell! Does she know?" I was beginning to feel sick.
"Possibly," said Phyliss reflectively, "She's got a pokerface that one. Isn't going to give anything away. She's scared stiff. I would be too!"
"If she says too much about them - its back to the hospital." Sometimes life was very unfair. I mean who was going to believe all this happens down in rural Norfolk?
"They've never been got for that one," remarked Phyliss, "Nor most of the other stuff, no-one can prove anything. It's
appalling really."
I nodded. "Its safer to be poor around here."
"Yes," she agreed, "Never tell anyone how much you got, or you won't last long."

Last Leaves – "The World We Had" (video) (premiere)
Former Lucksmiths return with lovelorn fuzz-pop.
By Dave Heaton / 26 June 2017
The cherished Australian indie-pop band the Lucksmiths dissolved in 2009, after 16 years of witty, melancholy, melodic songwriting and performing. A couple years after the band's end, the announcement came that three-fourths of the final lineup had a new band, Last Leaves. Fans have been patiently waiting the past five or so years for music from Last Leaves beyond a couple demos lead singer/songwriter Marty Donald posted online years ago.
The time has come. "The World We Had" is the first single off their upcoming debut album, and it's a beauty. A romantic weekend is fondly recalled, but can those memories be trusted? What they had is gone, and where did it go? All that's left is a feeling of loss, tinged with wisps of remembered beauty and tenderness, all wrapped up in loud guitars and harmonies.
Last Leaves' album Other Towns Than Ours will be released October 13th via Lost and Lonesome (Aus) and Matinée Recordings (USA). Meanwhile, the single "The World We Had" can be streamed and downloaded here: http://radi.al/TheWorldWeHad.

Hernandez in race to reach Germany for Champions League tie
AFP February 21, 2017 Javier Hernandez, Leagues: Champions League No Comments
Madrid (AFP) – Centre-back Lucas Hernandez was dashing to Germany on Tuesday in a desperate bid to make kick-off for Atletico Madrid's Champions League clash at Bayer Leverkusen after being released by a court.
Hernandez and his girlfriend pleaded not guilty to domestic violence in a Madrid court earlier on Tuesday before the case was adjourned.
That allowed Frenchman Hernandez, 21, to board a plane in Madrid bound for Germany in a bid to make the 1945 GMT kick-off at the BayArena for the last 16 first leg tie.
Atletico desperately need Hernandez, who has been deputising in the centre of defence for the injured Diego Godin.
The Frenchman was arrested earlier this month after his girlfriend was taken to hospital following an altercation between the pair.
Neither party made a complaint against the other but both were charged with domestic violence and Spain's public prosecutor asked for a seven-month prison sentence for Hernandez — although even then he would unlikely spend any time behind bars as sentences under two years are normally suspended for first-time offenders in Spain.


The 2018 MacBook Pros just went on sale yesterday, but Apple was quick about shipping them out and some customers already have the new machines in hand.
Laptop Mag was able to get one of the new 13-inch 2018 MacBook Pro models and performed some benchmarks to give us an idea of how it measures up to competing PCs. According to Laptop Mag, it the new 13-inch MacBook Pro is the "fastest system in its class."
The site's tests were performed on the $2,499 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar equipped with a 2.7GHz quad-core 8th-generation Core i7 processor, 16GB RAM, Intel Iris Plus 655, and a 512GB SSD.
A file copy test of the SSD in the new MacBook Pro, which Apple says supports sequential read speeds of up to 3.2GB/s and sequential write speeds up to 2.2GB/s, led Laptop Mag to declare the SSD in the MacBook Pro "the fastest ever" in a laptop. Higher capacity SSDs may see even faster speeds on disk speeds tests. A BlackMagic Disk Speed test was also conducted, resulting in an average write speed of 2,682 MB/s.
I had to do a double take when I saw how quickly the new 13-inch MacBook Pro duplicated 4.9GB worth of data. It took 2 seconds, which comes out to a rate of 2,519 megabytes per second. That's insane.
So we also ran the BlackMagic Disk Speed test for macOS, and the system returned an average write speed of 2,682 MBps.
To be fair, Apple's relatively new APFS file system is designed to speed up file copies using a technology Apple calls Instant Cloning. But a win is a win.
On a Geekbench 4 CPU benchmark, the 13-inch MacBook Pro earned a score of 18,055 on the multi-core test, outperforming 13-inch machines from companies like Dell, HP, Asus, and Microsoft. That score beats out all 2017 MacBook Pro models and is faster than some iMac configurations. 15-inch MacBook Pro models with 6-core 8th-generation Intel chips will show even more impressive speeds.
The MacBook Pro took 16:57 minutes to transcode a 4K video clip to 1080p using Handbrake, faster than most competing machines and two and a half minutes faster than the 2017 13-inch MacBook Pro. It didn't win at an Excel VLOOKUP macro matching 65,000 names to corresponding addresses, but at 1 minute 16 seconds to complete the task, it was competitive with the Dell XPS 13 and Asus Zenbook, while beating out the Surface Book 2 and the Huawei MateBook X Pro.
One area where the MacBook Pro didn't quite measure up to other machines with similar specs was GPU performance. The 13-inch 2018 MacBook Pro uses Intel's Iris Plus Graphics 655 with 128MB of embedded DRAM and was unable to compete in a Dirt 3 graphics test, getting only 38.8 frames per second. All Windows-based machines tested offered much better performance.
Apple did team up with Blackmagic to offer a Blackmagic eGPU for gaming purposes and system intensive creative tasks, but the device is priced at $700. It does, however, offer super fast performance with a built-in Radeon Pro 580 GPU.
Additional benchmarks and details about the 2018 MacBook Pro models will surface over the course of the next few days as orders arrive and retail stores begin stocking the machines.
The new 2018 models can be purchased from the Apple online store, with prices on the 13-inch machine starting at $1,799 and prices on the 15-inch machine starting at $2,399.
These are the type of things Apple haters / Windows PC fanboys overlook when determining the true value of an Apple device.
With the file copy so much ridiculously faster, could that have something to do with the APFS file system? I kind of remember reading that it doesn't actually copy the file or something like that. Like there's just one file that appears to be in two places? Maybe someone knows more about it than I do.
What do you need the GPU for?
As others speculate these results are not really indicative of anything, due to how APFS influences these results.
When using APFS and duplicating a file, the file isn't actually stored twice on disk but only once, and both locations store a reference to the actual file on disk. Hence the high speed.
Changing even 1 byte in the duplicated file is what actually triggers a full copy of the file on disk. This is what they should've measured. Presenting it in the current way is deeply flawed.
Isn't APFS the cause of these speeds?
So many insane comments here.
You need the GPU for almost anything, most of the stuff somebody who buys an MBP will include heavy GPU intensive work.
And no, there will be no dedicated GPU in the 13 inch MBP. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. That computer, just like literally any other that is comparable in size (or even larger) does not have dedicated GPUs. Nor the thermal performance of these GPUs, nor their power consumptions are compatible with the size of a 13 inch ultrabook. This has been like that for years.
I would argue that a good eGPU case is a much better solution, as any dedicated mobile GPU will be soldered to the MB, will be a dumbed down version of a desktop one, eat the battery and will act as a personal lap radiator. Also, GPUs get obsolete at a lot faster rate than CPUs.
WHY DONT THEY PUT A PROPER GPU IN THESE DAMN THINGS?!
APFS file cloning really doesn't count in testing the performance.
It's an embarrising amount of bias, that they would do that and then say "a win is a win".
Hahaha ok. The SSD is faster. Now it is worth the 50% price increase over a pc with the same or better specs!
A 1799 computer without a dedicated GPU is ridiculous. But hey it's got a faster SSD so that should make it up for the GPU.

Curry and Harllee Families
The Curry family came to Manatee in 1859 when they purchased 320 acres, a spring, and two homes. Captain John Curry and his wife, Mary Ward (née Kemp), were both Bahamian. John and "Polly" (as he called Mary) left the Bahamas in the 1840s and moved to Key West. Their house still stands there. In Key West, John became a ship builder, mariner and wrecker (collecting cargo from wrecked ships to sell for profit). In the late 1850s, Capt. John became disenchanted with wrecking and did not want his sons involved in the trade. So they changed course and he and his two sons, John W. and Benjamin S., sailed to the Manatee River to purchase cattle to resell in Cuba. He saw the benefits of the area and brought his large family (including his 12 children and some of their families) back with him to settle. They first purchased the land of Dr. Franklin Branch which included the stockade that Manatee residents took shelter in during the Seminole Wars. The family soon became some of the leading cattlemen in Manatee County.
During the Civil War, the Union Navy had created a blockade of Southern ports and would not allow trade in or out. Capt. John sold their vessels to the Confederacy to be used as blockade runners, bringing in munitions, supplies and other illegal goods. At least two of them were captured by the Union. With this in mind, it should be of no surprise that Capt. Curry is also said to have aided Confederate Secretary of State, Judah P. Benjamin, as he evaded Federal Troops after the Civil War. Capt. Curry is said to have put Benjamin in touch with Frederick Tresca. By doing so, Capt. Curry ensured Judah Benjamin would safely make it out of the country.
One of Capt. Curry's daughters, Amelia, had ten children from two marriages. Her first husband, Samuel T. Sawyer, died during the Civil War while fighting for the Confederacy. One of their children, Mary, died at age two and is buried here. Mary's elder brother, Theodore, is buried alongside her. Amelia was laid to rest with the children from her second marriage in Major Adams Cemetery in Bradenton.
Benjamin S. Curry was a son of Capt. Curry. He was a store owner and married Julia Lowe in Manatee in 1864. One of their daughters, Rosa, married Clark Wyatt in 1890 but the marriage was short lived. Wyatt died of Typhoid nine weeks after they were married. She then married his business partner, Frank C. Jones, who was involved with the Sara Sota Vigilance Committee murders in 1884. Jones turned over evidence to the State, which might have saved him from being put on trial himself. Rosa died in 1892 at the age of 18. Her brother in law, E. B. Johnson, lists that she died in "lingering torture", most likely following childbirth. The burial locations of Clark Wyatt and Frank Jones are said to be in this cemetery but the location within is unknown.
The Curry and Harllee families, both with many children, found themselves intertwined in Manatee County and are usually referred to together.
Captain John Harllee was a Confederate Veteran who was left with a permanent limp after a bullet shattered his kneecap during the Civil War. After the war, he visited the area with his brother at the request of a cousin. His brother returned to South Carolina but John decided to move. In 1872, he purchased land and opened a store on the waterfront. He was known for his wit and humor and soon swept Mary Ellen Curry, daughter of Captain John Curry, off her feet. They were married and John built a residence on the property in addition to lengthening the wharf to accommodate merchandise deliveries. Together, Capt. Harllee and Mary had several children including Annie, Mary Elizabeth, and Robert (buried here).
Capt. Harllee became one of the village's leading merchants, selling supplies and livestock. Mary Ellen died after giving birth to a son, William, in 1877. William was raised by his aunt and uncle after his parents' deaths and became a decorated Marine. He is buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.
Capt. Harllee died in the 1887 Yellow Fever epidemic. Area lore states that John woke up that morning feeling fine and rode off toward Braden Creek. On this trip, he suddenly fell violently ill and was taken by friends to a nearby home. He died there a few days later.
Welton Stewart was the second child of Peter S. and Alice Harllee. Peter followed his brother, Capt. John Harllee, to Manatee after bringing him mules and horses from Texas. Here he met Alice Bullock and decided to stay in the area. He and Alice are buried in Palmetto. It is unclear why their son is buried here.

Australian Christian Lobby Managing Director Lyle Shelton said there is no evidence that the religion of Jesus, who told his followers to 'love your enemies', is causing violence in the Australian community.
"The school chaplaincy program is very popular in school communities around the nation and complements the great work of existing school-based professional counsellors.
"At a time when young people are vulnerable to radicalisation, surely it makes sense to have people in schools modelling Jesus' injunction to 'do good to those who hate you'.

E11EVEN ACQUIRES BORED APE #11 OF THE BORED APE YACHT CLUB, THE HOTTEST CULTURAL NFT COLLECTION IN THE WORLD
The Award-Winning Ultraclub Is Also Known as the First Major Nightclub in the United States to Accept Cryptocurrency as a Form of Payment
E11EVEN Miami
MIAMI, Dec. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- E11EVEN, the brand behind the award-winning ultraclub located in the heart of Downtown Miami, the E11EVEN Hotel & Residences, and E11EVEN Vodka, today announced the acquisition of Bored Ape #11 for 99 ETH ($396,000). E11EVEN strategically positioned itself to acquire #11 of the hottest NFT collection in the world. E11EVEN will join prominent Bored Ape collectors, including Jimmy Fallon, Steph Curry, Post Malone and more.
"E11EVEN has always dedicated itself to being cutting edge and staying ahead of the curve, we have seen tremendous success in the eight months we have accepted cryptocurrency (as a form of payment) and see opportunities like this as a natural transition for the business to continue to expand the brand and our assets. We are thrilled to have Bored Ape #11 as our first NFT acquisition as we continue to grow our footprint in the space." - E11EVEN Partners Dennis DeGori, Michael Simkins and Marc Roberts.
In April 2021, E11EVEN Miami announced that it would be the first major nightclub in the United States to accept cryptocurrency as a form of payment. This decision was a true testament to the E11EVEN Partners continuously finding new ways to lead the industry. Since then, E11EVEN MIAMI has processed over $4,000,000 in cryptocurrency. Additionally, E11EVEN continues to embrace cryptocurrency as a brand. In June, E11EVEN Hotel & Residences became the first U.S. real estate project to accept cryptocurrency for condominium deposits in pre-construction projects. E11EVEN Vodka sponsored the International Bitcoin Conference, and E11EVEN Life sold a 1 of 1 edition diamond-embroidered Bitcoin Hat for 1 BTC/$50,000.
"This is an exciting acquisition for E11EVEN. We have been bullish on cryptocurrency for a long time. As we continue to embrace the cryptocurrency and NFT space, we look forward to seeing our community at the nightclub and in the metaverse & beyond," said Dennis DeGori.
Since opening the doors in early 2014, E11EVEN MIAMI has catapulted the South Florida nightlife scene to incredible new heights. In 2019, the landmark destination established itself as the highest-grossing nightclub per square foot, globally, further stabilizing its presence as one of the most sought-after clubs in the world. Stars such as Drake, Miley Cyrus, Usher, Cardi B, The Chainsmokers, Post Malone, Daddy Yankee, and Nicky Jam have taken the stage in front of guests including Leonardo DiCaprio, Sting, Kendall Jenner, Demi Lovato, Gigi & Bella Hadid, Dwyane Wade, Vin Diesel and more. Offering premium bottle service and a delectable food menu, E11EVEN MIAMI delivers a one-of-a-kind five-star hospitality experience throughout all aspects of the 20,000 sq. ft. space, truly revolutionizing the VIP experience in the nightlife industry. Additionally, the E11EVEN Partners continue to grow the brand with E11EVEN HOTEL & RESIDENCES and E11EVEN Sound by DAS Audio. Further, E11EVEN has licensed its intellectual property for E11EVEN Vodka.

Founder-Led Firms Are Winners. Except Twitter
Thyagaraju Adinarayan &
Jeran Wittenstein
5:45 PM IST, 30 Nov 2021 8:48 AM IST, 01 Dec 2021 5:45 PM IST, 30 Nov 2021 8:48 AM IST, 01 Dec 2021
(Bloomberg) -- From Elon Musk's Tesla Inc. to Reed Hastings' Netflix Inc., tech firms led by their founder have mostly beaten the broader market by a huge margin. Twitter Inc. has always been an outlier.
Monday's news that Jack Dorsey is stepping down as chief executive officer of the social media company comes after the stock rose just 63% during the co-founder's six-year tenure. That's a far cry from the multi-fold gains in peers such as Facebook-owner Meta Platforms Inc. or Amazon.com Inc. on the NYFANG+ Index.
After a souring run in stock markets, Twitter has now appointed Parag Agrawal, formerly the chief technology officer.
"Whilst his last tweet (before resignation) declared his love for the platform, Jack Dorsey hasn't exactly been the faithful type," said AJ Bell analyst Danni Hewson, pointing to his other CEO role at Square Inc. "There were plenty of investors who wondered whether it would be better served by a new master. Today it has one and one that certainly knows the ropes."
Unlike Twitter, Square has been a stellar performer in recent years, more than tripling in 2020 alone. Twitter failed to even keep up with the broad rally in indices, lagging the 280% rally for the Nasdaq 100 and the 134% gain in the S&P 500 in that time. Square's gains are more typical of founder-led companies.
While the likes of Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Jensen Huang were all focused "solely on one thing" -- running the company they started -- Dorsey had fingers in more than one pie, said Jim Dixon, an equity sales trader at Mirabaud Securities.
Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Mandeep Singh said that while Dorsey's time commitment with Square was likely a factor in Twitter's lackluster performance, the company also struggled to find its groove in terms of execution. He said Twitter has lagged behind peers as social media has evolved, both on the product side as well as advertising infrastructure.
Singh doesn't expect any drastic changes in how Twitter will think of its strategy as Agrawal takes the helm, given he was part of the company's management team. He expects the user growth and revenue targets for 2023 have become harder to achieve in the near term as Agrawal may establish goals of his own.
Jefferies analyst Brent Thill is more optimistic. He expects the management changes to be positive for the stock, arguing that new leadership could revive growth and help the company meet its targets.
Read: Twitter Missed Out on Tech Peers' Rally During Dorsey Era
An exchange-traded fund founder-led firms has risen 128% since its inception in Feb. 2017, outstripping a 96% advance for the S&P 500 Index. Square is the fund's sixth-best performer in that time with a gain of more than 1,300%.
"Other CEOs, while they may do a good job, aren't married emotionally to a company the way a founder is," said Mirabaud's Dixon.
Trade Desk Inc., owner of a platform for buying digital advertisements run by co-founder Jeff Green, is the biggest gainer on the Global X Founder Run Companies ETF after its shares soared more than 30-fold. Other big winners include cybersecurity company Zscaler Inc. and car-retailer Carvana Inc., both up more than 1,800% since the fund's 2017 inception.
Tesla, run by Musk, who is also the CEO of Space Exploration Technologies Corp., has jumped nearly 2,000% over the same span. Closely held SpaceX hit a valuation of $100 billion with the sale of shares on a secondary market last month.
Softening Software
Expensive software stocks have been hit hard in the past two weeks amid rising U.S. treasury yields and a hedge fund exodus. A Goldman Sachs Group Inc. basket of software companies with an enterprise value exceeding eight times sales has fallen 10% from a Nov. 16 record.
Salesforce.com, with an enterprise value about 13 times trailing revenue, will get a chance to justify its valuation when it reports earnings on Tuesday along with several other software companies later this week. Analysts expect the maker of customer management software to show strong revenue growth as businesses continue to prioritize spending on cloud-based services.
Salesforce's earnings will be followed by cloud-computing company Snowflake Inc. and cybersecurity firm Okta Inc. on Wednesday and Asana Inc. and DocuSign Inc. on Thursday.

Gaza patients: 'My hope for the future? I don't have hope'
Twenty-eight year-old Mohammed was shot during the 'Great March of Return' demonstrations in Gaza. (Supplied)
Special to Al Arabiya English Saturday, 6 October 2018
A series of testimonies from patients and doctor in Gaza have been released by international humanitarian aid organization Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).
Mohamed's story
Twenty-eight year-old Mohammed was shot during the 'Great March of Return' demonstrations in Gaza. He currently waits to find out whether he will be able to travel to Jordan to receive further treatment for the gunshot wound on his right leg. The surgery he needs is not currently available in Gaza. Without it, he may not regain the full function of his leg and could face a lifetime of disability.
"I was injured during the 'Great March of Return' protest on Friday 6 April.
I knew it was dangerous to go, but I went to the protest anyway– everybody did. I was on my way to work and then at the last moment, I changed my mind and decided to go to the demonstration. I was with friends and one of them also got injured. But not as badly as me.
I was just standing there when I got shot. It felt like the bullet shattering my bone. My friend tried to find the missing bits of bone, but he couldn't.
I was shot in the right lower leg. Now I have nerve damage and bone missing in my leg.
I've had six operations so far, including debridement operations and an operation to close the wound. Then I was told I might need to undergo an amputation after closing the wound. At the start, I was coming to the MSF clinic daily to receive treatment. Now I go three times a week for physiotherapy and to have the dressings changed on my leg. After receiving physiotherapy, I feel better. The spasms decrease and moving my muscles is easier.
At first, when I got shot at the protest, I didn't let anyone come near me because it was too dangerous. Then the ambulance arrived and they took me to hospital.
I live with my parents. It was different when I was working, I had some money and could contribute. But now they care for me as best they can. It's tough.
I haven't been back to the demonstrations: I don't move, I can't move. I stay at home.
It has been four months since I have been shot, and I hope to get a visa to go to MSF's reconstructive surgical hospital in Amman, Jordan. And then I need permission from Israel to leave Gaza for the treatment.
In Amman I will be able to have a bone graft, where surgeons will replace the missing bone by taking one from my ribs or leg."
Eyad's story
Twenty-two year-old Eyad was shot in the leg during the 'Great March of Return' demonstrations in Gaza on the 14th May – one of the deadliest days witnessed by MSF teams in the six months of protests. He needs a bone graft and limb reconstructive surgery, which is not currently possible inside the Gaza strip. Eyad's case has been accepted for treatment at the MSF's specialist surgical hospital in Amman, Jordan – but for people living in Gaza, requesting the authorization to leave from the Israeli authorities is a lengthy, difficult process, which often ends with a refusal.
"I still remember vividly the day I was shot: the bullet entered my leg like an injection and then I felt a hot sensation on my other leg. I looked down and saw lots of blood, and I realized I had been wounded. I was in so much pain.
After the bullet entered my leg I started to shake, and it felt like I had electricity coursing through my body. At first, I was stunned by what I saw. I thought I was going to lose my leg and become an amputee.
I was shot on the 14 May 2018. Like a lot of Palestinians I was shot in the leg. It just goes to show how barbaric the Israeli army was towards us that day.
I went to the demonstrations because I love my country and I am trying to defend it. I wanted to show everyone that we have the right to our lands and the right to have our homes back. The demonstration was peaceful. Then the Israeli army started shooting. I knew it was going to be dangerous, so I went alone. I didn't want to see any of my friends injured or killed. I wanted to free our land, our home, our sacred places. Israel can take all they want; I just want them to give us back our land.
My mother tried to convince me not to go and begged me to stay at home. She called my grandparents to try and persuade me. But they could not stop me. I had made up my mind.
Ever since I was shot I've had trouble sleeping. When I sleep, it feels like knives are moving inside my leg and electricity is coursing through my body. I don't move around a lot, I don't go out; only if I have to. I prefer not to move around a lot because it is just so painful.
My parents and siblings are caring for me – they take good care of me. They bring me whatever I need.
I go to MSF's clinic in Gaza three times a week for dressing changes and to have physiotherapy. My condition started to improve after the first debridement operation, which cleaned the gunshot wound and took out the infected blood. I have had about six operations, including the debridement of the wound, attaching the external fixator to stabilize the bone, and a skin graft where they took skin from my thigh to cover the gunshot wound.
The next stages of my treatment must be done in Jordan, at the MSF reconstructive surgical hospital in Amman. They plan to use a bone graft to fix the shattered bone, and a plastic surgeon will then reconstruct my damaged leg. When I heard they wanted to send me to Jordan I was full of fear because I thought the Israeli army wouldn't let me leave Gaza. I thought I'd have to have an amputation. But once I heard that the Amman hospital had accepted me, I started to feel hopeful again. I started to see that things might be ok. Now I am just waiting to see if I am permitted to leave Gaza."
Dr Mohammed Abu Mughaiseeb, MSF medical referent in Gaza
"The last six months have been the most difficult I have experienced in my 15 years with MSF in Gaza. And that's compared to the wars of 2008, 2012 and 2014.
For me, a doctor from Gaza, living and working here all my life, I feel like I know our limits in terms of what Gaza can endure. It's been unbelievably difficult to tolerate the shocking volume of wounded arriving from the fence these last months. I will never forget Monday 14 May. The local health authorities recorded a total of 2,271 wounded in one day. This included 1,359 people injured by live ammunition. I was with our surgical team at al-Aqsa hospital, one of the main hospitals in Gaza. At 3pm we started to see an influx of patients coming from the demonstration. More than 300 wounded arrived though the doors in less than four hours. I had never seen so many patients in my life... Patients queuing to get into the operating theatre. The corridors were full; everyone crying, shouting and bleeding. No matter how hard we worked and how many we were, we could not cope with that many injured bodies. It was too much. Gunshot after gunshot. Our team worked for 50 hours supporting the Ministry of Health. It brought back the feeling of when we worked through the 2014 war. But really, nothing can prepare you for this.
And what are we seeing today? Still, each week new trauma cases arrive. The majority are young men with gunshot wounds in their legs with the potential to cause life-changing disabilities. The medical structures in Gaza are crumbling under the demand and ongoing shortages. MSF's cohort of patients continues to grow and equates to about 40 per cent of the total gunshot wounded in Gaza, which now totals over 5,000 people. But the more we advance in treating these gunshot injuries, the more we see the complexity of what has to be done. It's difficult, medically and logistically. A large proportion of MSF patients need specialised limb reconstructive surgical intervention, which means multiple surgeries for some patients, but the procedures are not currently possible in Gaza.
What terrifies me the most is the risk of infection. Osteomyelitis is a deep infection of the bone. If it goes untreated, it can lead to non-healing wounds and increase the risk of amputation. And as time goes on, it gets worse. These infections need to be treated as soon as possible. It's terrifying to think they could lead to amputation for these young men. But the infection is not easy to diagnose and there is currently no structure in Gaza for analysing bone samples to identify it. MSF is working to set up a microbiology laboratory here, providing supplies and training, in order to be able to test bone samples for osteomyelitis. But even then, once we are able to identify the infection, treatment requires a long and complex course of anti-biotic treatment for each patient and repeated surgical intervention."
'A question of medical ethics'
"I move all over the Gaza strip and I see young men everywhere on crutches with external fixators on their legs, or in wheelchairs. It's becoming a normal sight. And so often they're smiling and enduring life with their injury. But for me, as a doctor, I know the long term prognoses are bleak.
To talk to a patient, a young man, knowing that he could lose his leg a result of a bullet that has shattered his bone and his future, and to have him ask me 'Will I walk freely again?'... This is very hard. Because I know, medically, due to the situation we are working in, he will struggle to walk again. And I have to pass the message that we will do our best, but the risks are high and there is a risk of him losing his leg. To tell this to a young man with his life ahead of him, that is very difficult. And it's not just one patient – it's a conversation we have to have many times with many patients.
Of course, we continue to try to find a way to treat these people within the limitations we face: overwhelmed hospitals and, because of the blockade, four hours of electricity a day, fuel shortages, depleted medical supplies, a lack of specialist surgeons and doctors, exhausted nurses and medics running the hospitals and not being paid their full salaries for months on end, restrictions on patients leaving Gaza to receive medical treatment elsewhere... The list goes on. And all around us we see the daily deterioration of Gaza. The social and economic situation has plummeted. Now you see children begging on the street; we didn't see that a year or two ago.
MSF has a huge mountain to climb, and we cannot do it alone. We try. We push. We have to keep going. For us, it's a question of medical ethics. These injured people must get the treatment they need. But from where I am standing, looking into the future is like looking into a dark tunnel. And the light at the end of the tunnel...I'm not sure it is there. It keeps flickering on and off."

Text goes to the low end of the reasonably large array where the large majority of mono laser MFPs fall, yet unless you have an uncommon demand for tiny font styles or require top quality desktop publishing result you shouldn't have any type of grievances about it.
Graphics as well as photos are in a similar way at the reduced end of the variety for the substantial majority of mono lasers, however the variety is much smaller sized for these types of outcome compared to it is for text. Video top quality is definitely adequate for any kind of internal service usage.

Picture outcome is good enough for publishing well-known pictures from Websites. Depending on your degree of perfectionism, again, you could or may not consider it adequate for, say, a customer newsletter.
The Canon imageClass D550 is greater than acceptable as a personal mono laser printer, but also as a personal printer, the MF4570dn could be the much better option, with the same price, basically the very same rate, as well as just a bit much better outcome quality across the board.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — Less than a week into training camp, one moment revealed the Chiefs' most significant defensive weakness.
It didn't come on a touchdown throw by Patrick Mahomes or a blistering run by wide receiver Tyreek Hill.
Instead, it came as Keith Reaser laid on the field, surrounded by athletic trainers on Monday afternoon. Quickly, a cart was waved over, and the cornerback was helped into the back of it.
Soon after, coach Andy Reid announced Reaser was suspected to have torn his Achilles, a severe injury that's capable of keeping a player out for the entire season.
Reaser, the former Alliance of American Football (AAF) standout, wasn't a projected starter, but he was tracking toward making the 53-man roster as the fifth or sixth cornerback.
Now, the Chiefs' insurance policy needs its own insurance policy.
With the injury, an already tenuous cornerback situation became even more dire, operating on a razor-thin margin less than a week into training camp.
The first line of cornerbacks is solid: Charvarius Ward and Bashaud Breeland on the outside, complemented by Kendall Fuller in the slot.
Fuller lined up in the slot for 70% of his defensive snaps a year ago, per Pro Football Focus, and a year earlier in Washington, he played in the slot for 88% of his defensive snaps. Even before Spagnuolo confirmed Fuller would be used primarily at nickel, the Virginia Tech product knew he'd be covering the slot no matter what.
"I mean, for me, it's really exactly the same," Fuller said. "It might be a couple games where you might have a little bit more base than normal, but whether I'm inside or outside, 90 percent of the time, I'm in the slot."
But after the trio of first-string corners, the depth chart gets a little murky.
When Breeland left the first practice early with a thumb laceration, former practice squad player D'Montre Wade stepped in to take his first-team snaps. Wade held that spot until Tuesday's practice when Breeland returned with a heavily bandaged thumb Breeland also left briefly in Friday's practice and appeared to be evaluated for a concussion. In his absence, Wade again took first team reps. Breeland eventually returned to the field, narrowly avoiding further catastrophe to the position group's depth.
Though Wade entered training camp as an under-the-radar player, he made the most of his unexpected first-team reps by picking off Mahomes in Monday's practice.
"I'm just trying to be consistent," Wade said of his goals the rest of camp. "Make plays, do what I've got to do, pray I stay healthy the whole time."
He's not the only one praying for health.
That's all the rest of the Chiefs' brass can do for the remainder of camp for the entire cornerback spot.
"You look at your phone, and it's not even August yet and you're like, 'Oh my god, I've got another month of this to hold your breath," Veach said.
Though the cornerback position is unstable, it's not entirely unexpected.
The Chiefs could've fortified the spot in the first round of the draft by taking Byron Murphy, Rock Ya Sin or Greedy Williams, all who would have been available at the Chiefs' No. 29 drafting position. Instead the team included its lone first-round pick in a mega-deal for defensive end Frank Clark.
"When you watch the college guys that came out there in the draft, you watch the tape, and it's good," Veach said. "But then you watch Frank Clark's pro tape, and it's even better than that college tape. This guy has already done it. ... When you turn his tape on, he's different than anybody else that we watched because he does it every single play. Every. Single. Play. His motor just doesn't quit.
"So we got that. But there's always give and take in life. You do that and that means you sacrifice a young corner."
In executing that deal, the Chiefs prioritized getting to the quarterback over defending the back end — a move that fits with the philosophies of new defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and echoes strategies used by the late Jim Johnson, Reid's most prolific defensive coordinator in Philadelphia.
Johnson, the Eagles' defensive coordinator from 1999 to 2008, emphasized blitz-heavy defenses to pressure the quarterback, loading up on the defensive line at the expense of the secondary. Sometimes that meant average or sub-par cornerback play at one of the outside spots.
Spagnuolo is just as blitz-happy as Johnson, and his management of the remaining healthy cornerbacks in camp gives a glimpse into how he plans on using them in his schemes.
In Wednesday's abbreviated indoor practice, Fuller lined up on the edge in the slot on the left side before running untouched to collect a would-be sack of Kyle Shurmur.
Fuller wouldn't mind doing more of that in the regular season.
"Anytime you get some sacks, I know DBs always love getting some sacks," Fuller said. "But it's not like you're going to be blitzing every play. Still going to have to cover, still going to have to drop in some zones, disguising and things like that.
"The one thing that (Spagnuolo) asks the nickels to do is be well rounded, do a lot of different things. Be a football player. That's something I enjoy doing."
The Chiefs know they have to fortify the group, but the free-agent market for cornerbacks isn't robust. A trade with another team wouldn't likely materialize at least until after the second preseason game, allowing other teams to evaluate their own injury situation and take stock of their strengths and weaknesses by position group.
A similar situation played out last year at the same spot when the Chiefs finalized a trade with the Cowboys for Ward after the final preseason game.
Expect the Chiefs to be on a similar timeline this year to add cornerback help, either through a trade or a somewhat significant free agent signing. Until then, the Chiefs will fill out the cornerback group with minor free agent signings.
Before Wednesday's practice, the Chiefs signed Michael Hunter, a 2016 undrafted free agent from Oklahoma State who spent time with six different clubs and their practice squads.

Vadgelmer eller Vadgelme (fornvästnordiska Vaðgelmir) är en underjordisk älv i nordisk mytologi. Den ligger vid Nastrand (Nástrǫnd, "likstranden") i den nordligaste delen av dödsriket Hel. Namnet betyder "den som ljudligt brusar fram över vadställena", av vað, "vadställe" och gelmir, "en som larmar och ryter". Innebörden är väl att inte ens älvens vadställen är lätta att passera. Älven nämns vid namn endast i Reginsmál 4, men är troligen samma flod som också omtalas i Vǫluspá 39 och där sägs vara en straffort för menedare, mördare och förförare.

I Reginsmál 4 är det den till gädda förvandlade dvärgen Andvare som besvarar Lokes fråga vilken vedergällning som i det hinsides livet skall drabba lögnare och baktalare. Gäddan svarar:

Det är själva vadandet i floden som utgör straffet, vilket också framgår av Vǫluspá 39, som verkar beskriva samma flod:

"Mordvargar" är dråpare som ej lyst (offentliggjort) sina dåd. Olysta dråp räknades som mord. Björn Collinder har i sin översättning uteslutit två rader som han anser vara senare tillägg. Men enligt Finnur Jónsson är Vǫluspá 39 troligen en sammanslagning av två strofer, varav raderna 1–6 är rester av den ena och 7–10 av den andra. Snorre Sturlasson, som citerar samma strof, nämner hur "edsbrytare och mördare" som straff skall vada i strida floder av "gift". Han förlägger dock vadandet till tiden efter Ragnarök, därtill troligen influerad av kristen domedagstro. Ordet eitr ("gift") betyder oftast i dessa sammanhang "förlamande iskyla", vilket också framgår av sammansättningar som eitrdalr, eitrdropi, eitrkaldr, eitrsvalr, men Snorres tolkning är bokstavlig. Älven flyter rätt igenom pinosalen på Nastrand, skriver han. Salen beskrivs som ett flätverkshus med väggar av levande ormar, vilka vänder sina huvuden inåt och spyr gift. Det är i denna sörja de fördömda tvingas vada.

Föreställningen om en underjordsflod som straffort för förbrytare härstammar säkert från medeltida kristen visionsdiktning, gissar Rudolf Simek och jämför med vapenbärande mytiska floder som Slid och Geirvimull, vilka enligt honom har samma kristna ursprung. Men idéer om straff efter döden har funnits även i förkristna samhällen. Vadgelmer plågar med "brännande köld", medan de kristnas helvete (ordet betyder "Hels straff") utgörs av eld. Sigurður Nordal erinrar om de Helskor, som de döda kunde förses med vid gravläggningen, och vilkas syfte har varit att underlätta vandringen på Helvägen, vilken kunde vara olidligt plågsam och kvalfylld.
