Rep. Miller Issues Statement on FBI's Raid of President Trump's Residence
August 9, 2022 | 0
U. S. Rep. Mary Miller
WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Mary Miller (R-IL) issued the following statement on the unprecedented raid of President Trump's residence:
"Every American should be alarmed and outraged by what's happening in this country. This raid on a former President's home is unprecedented and has all the markings of a total abuse of power," Miller said.
"If TODAY the FBI does not raid the homes of the Biden family members who took payments from Chinese communist officials, Moscow officials, and Ukrainian officials while holding "10% for the Big Guy," then we have conclusive proof of two systems of justice. The evidence is on a laptop that has been in the FBI's possession FOR YEARS. Remember, the FBI went after Paul Manafort for the same offenses that are well documented on the "laptop from hell." Where are the Biden family FARA registrations for the Chinese, Russian, and Ukrainian government-controlled entities?
The policies of the Biden Administration and Congressional Democrats have led us into a recession with open borders, a massive crime wave, food shortages, supply chain issues, a destruction of our youth, and a foreign policy crisis showing extreme weakness on the world stage. In an act to make us all forget, the Department of Justice is now engaging in partisan politics by smearing President Trump, attempting to affect the outcome of the 2022 midterm elections AND the 2024 presidential election at the request of President Trump's political enemies on the sham J6 Committee.
By targeting the political opponents of Joe Biden and engaging in partisan politics on behalf of the Democrat Party, the FBI has done lasting and permanent damage to our democracy. The Biden DOJ officials involved in this attack on the democratic process must be held accountable by Congress under a new majority. If this is what they're able to do to the former president of the United States, think about what they could do to you."


All you have to do is be willing to see.
Thank heaven – how appropriate, Eliza!
Theresa, Amen! I'm a real fan and a member of the American Chesterton Society. This great man is as relevant today as he was when he was writing.
He seems to be quite a good man.

SK Telecom, gearing up to enhance Bundled Plans Marketing and Integrated Media Business through 100% Acquisition of SK Broadband
SK Broadband, a Korean ultra-high speed Internet and IPTV (Internet TV) service provider, held an extraordinary general shareholders meeting on May 6th, and resolved to return to its original plan to become a 100% subsidiary of SK Telecom.
Back in March, SK Telecom offered to swap its shares with SK Broadband's at a rate specified, or to buy out SK Broadband shareholders for KRW 4,645 per share. The company currently owns 50.56% of SK Broadband, which will voluntarily delist itself once the acquisition is completed.
SK Telecom is spending over KRW700 billion (USD640 million) to make the company its wholly-owned subsidiary, to boost the competitiveness of its triple-play bundles of mobile, ultra-high speed Internet and IPTV services. For example, to sell more monthly mobile plans (ranging KRW50,000~60,000), the prices of ultra-high speed Internet or IPTV service included in the bundle should be low. However, for SK Broadband, a listed company, profits take priority over anything else, which leaves little room to be flexible in pricing.
Mr. Yong-Hwan Lee, CFO of SK Telecom, noted that, "So far, SK Telecom and SK Broadband have been working, not as one corporate or two, but as one and half corporate, as in a three-legged race. And this has put quite a lot of restrictions on their growth in the competitive market."
He also highlighted that, "This acquisition can especially help to reduce resources required for each company's contents sourcing, and build more buying power. We expect the acquisition will accelerate SK Telecom's media business growth and improve its wired/wireless marketing efficiency."
For SK Broadband, the long-time runner up to market leader KT in the Korean wired communication (ultra-high speed Internet) market, being able to leverage the nationwide distribution network established by SK Telecom, No. 1 in the Korean wireless market, must have been essential to beat KT. KT and LG U+, both with their own wired AND wireless business divisions, have been at a greater advantage in promoting bundles of wired/wireless service.
A director at KT noted "If SK Telecom uses aggressive marketing strategies in promoting their ultra-high speed Internet and IPTV, taking advantage of its nearly-unbeatable competitiveness in the wireless communication market, the entire communication market will be overheated."

New signage and continuing exterior restoration efforts are visible at the local Historical Society's Winneshiek County Heritage Center
Although the Winneshiek County Historical Society's office has been closed to walk-in traffic since the pandemic emerged in late March, work has continued both outside and inside the office.
The entrance to the WCHS office at 302 S. Mill Street is sporting a new look. Porch columns, ceiling, door, and window trim have been stripped, repaired, caulked, primed and painted by Ron and Sandy Stover. The Stovers are also continuing to strip, caulk, prime, and paint the rest of the trim on the first-floor windows and doors, with west and south sides completed. Historic metal work has been stripped of paint and restored by the Stovers, and vintage hooks on the front porch have been stripped and given a baked historic coating to preserve their metal finish by David Wadsworth. Shingling and roof repair, soffit, and fascia repair are slated for late summer, and attic insulating and other efforts to conserve energy will also be accomplished before the winter heating season.
When the office reopens to foot traffic, it will be easier for patrons to locate. A new sign at the office entrance directs patrons to the Winneshiek County Heritage Center, the new designation for the Winneshiek County Historical Society headquarters. The sign was painted by Elizabeth Lorentzen and recently installed by Jerry Thompson and Ron Stover. Improvement and maintenance of the grounds also continues with Ron and Sandy Stover heading up that project.
Work has also been carried on inside the office. The Historical Society volunteers have continued to research questions that people have emailed or called in, as well as accepting donations of family histories, photos, and other historic memorabilia. Some interesting photos of vintage homes, historic photos of local families and their stories have been received, and the WCHS research database and offerings continue to grow. The Society's newsletter is sent out regularly keeping members apprised of current happenings.
The Historical Society looks forward to the day when they can again serve patrons face-to-face. Until that time, they can be contacted with questions and research requests via their email, winneshiek.historical.society@gmail.com or their office phone, 563-382-4166. Their website, www.winneshiekcountyhistoricalsociety.com updates current WCHS happenings. Patrons can also explore the digitized vintage county newspapers online at http://winneshiekcounty.advantage-preservation.com produced as a project in collaboration with the Luther College Library. Anyone interested in becoming a member of the Winneshiek County Historical Society may contact them by calling or emailing the WCHS office.

SCE Proposes Investments to Increase Grid Safety, Reliability and Efficiency
If approved, the proposal will enable us to efficiently connect clean technologies such as electric vehicles, rooftop solar and energy storage, to the grid while providing safe electricity service as we work to improve reliability.
By Justin Felles
Southern California Edison filed its General Rate Case with the California Public Utilities Commission on Thursday.
Through the General Rate Case, the commission will review and authorize how much SCE will be able to collect from customers for years 2018-2020 to continue safely providing reliable service to customers. This includes funding for crews and call center staff to respond to emergencies such as wildfires, rainstorms, windstorms or earthquakes and restore service as quickly and safely as possible.
SCE's proposed plan would allow the utility to make the necessary investments to enhance the future reliability, security and safety of the region's power delivery infrastructure. SCE has more than 105,000 miles of distribution lines, 1.4 million power poles and more than 725,000 transformers across its 50,000-square-mile service territory.
"As we continue to maintain the current grid, we also need to focus on improving reliability to keep up with customer expectations and reliance on electricity," said Shinjini Menon, director of SCE's General Rate Case. "We also need to build the next-generation grid to meet customer and policymaker expectations."
Over the next three years, SCE plans to invest more than $2.1 billion in grid modernization activities to improve grid safety and reliability along with enabling the integration of clean technologies. More than 80 percent of this investment is for projects under the state commission's jurisdiction. (The rest is under the jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.)
This money will fund upgrades to the grid to increase safety, reliability, efficiency and the use of clean technologies like electric vehicles, rooftop solar and energy storage. Some of the work will focus on updating automation systems to help monitor and control grid equipment in real time as customer use of distributed energy resources such as rooftop solar and battery storage increases. The money will also fund replacing infrastructure and equipment, such as power poles, underground cables and structures, and pay for new construction such as substations and circuits.
SCE has made improvements in productivity, which are estimated to result in savings of $85 million in operations and maintenance costs in 2018. These productivity improvements should help offset some of the costs of improving grid safety and reliability.
If the commission approves SCE's full request, average rates will increase by 2.7 percent in 2018; this means that 2018 bills will be at about the same level as 2014. The commission conducts a rigorous public review process that includes customer input. SCE tentatively estimates that the commission could issue a final General Rate Case decision at the end of 2017.
The General Rate Case makes up about half of customer rates. Another one-third comes from the cost of energy itself — the cost of fuel and purchased power used to generate electricity. These costs, passed on to customers "at cost" without a markup, vary from year to year.
The remaining costs incurred are from a variety of other factors, such as large transmission projects regulated under the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and special projects like programs benefiting the public such as energy efficiency and low-income customer assistance.

HEATHERS Heads To The Stage
March 12, 2009 Rich Drees Movie News
Now here's a high school musical I'm interested in.
Heathers, the 1988 dark comedy about high school social clicks, is being transformed into a stage bound musical by Andy Fickman. Previously, Fickman directed the stage production of Reefer Madness, based on the 1936 campy, cautionary film, before moving on to helm the upcoming Race To Witch Mountain film. Fickman is working on the project with his Reefer partner Kevin Murphy (not the MST3K Kevin Murphy), who is writing the lyrics and book for the new project, and composer Larry O'Keefe.
Evidently, the three have been quietly working on the project for a while and just held some table readings of the script earlier this week, with Kristen Bell playing the role of Veronica, originated by Winona Ryder in the film. Christian Campbell stepped into original film star Christian Slater's role of J. D., while reading the parts of the terrible titular trio of girls were Corri English, lead singer of BrokeDown Cadillac, Jenna Leigh Green and Christine Lakin. Participation in the table read is no guarantee though that these particular actors will be the ones who appear on stage when the production finally opens.
Fickman is hoping to have the show open regionally next year, followed by a Broadway run. If it proves popular, a film adaptation of the musical would be considered.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Fickman has talked with Heathers original screenwriter Daniel Waters, who has given his blessing to the show.
"'I love my dead gay son,'" Fickman states in the Reporter story. "If you can get that into a song, then that is just perfect."
Personally, I'm holding out for the "F**k Me Slowly With A Chainsaw Interpretive Ballet."

SATAN APOLOGIZES FOR ANN COULTER
by Steve Young
Steve Young columns
An Open Letter From Lucifer:
Dear Viewers of Hardball,
For more years than I wish to admit I had discharged upon the Earth some pretty awesome stuff: Hitler, cancer, Katrina, movies made from old TV shows. All considered major extensions of myself meant to revile or have an affect that would cause humanity to weigh what they themselves had wrought.
Nothing that I would apologize for. After all, it's what I do.
But I guess there comes a time for everyone to dig deep, take a good long look at their body of work and examine its value.
So it is that I need to apologize for the existence of Ann Coulter. Quite frankly, I don't know what I was thinking.
Not only does she not serve a worthwhile purpose, but this broad just can't seem to stop trying to one-up me. "My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building." On pollution: "Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it." On 9/11: "I have never seen people enjoying their husband's death so much."
At least with Cheney, I get it. It's about gaining money and power. Using the death of a couple's young son to make what I think was supposed to be a joke? I can't even figure out what the hell she's talking about. Sooner or later even Andrew Dice Clay got around to a punchline.
When I generate some kind of hell on earth, long story short, it's for a good reason. Even O'Reilly is good for a laugh. But sometimes you're not privy to the reason, but when you meet the Man upstairs, all will be revealed. But a reason for Coulter? I don't even think He's sure.
With Coulter, I really think it just got away from me. Maybe I was thinking about how I could get Paris even more attention. I don't know, but I am sorry. The woman is just vile for vile's sake. With Coulter there's no imagination. Nothing clever. Certainly nothing you can learn from. Do you know how long I work to create something where you might be able to find some silver thread? Okay, most of the time you have to look long and hard. It's not always what I originally intend, but I've been around long enough to know that is what I end up having wrought. With Coulter there's no lessons to be found. She's just a pile of crap that smells up the place, and is near impossible to get off your shoes -- or your soul, if you embrace what she offers up.
One more thing. If I had a TV show, I'd think twice about bringing on someone who only demeans my credibility even if I think it might improve my ratings. Two words: Chevy Chase.
Demonically Yours,
Kurtz A Reliable Source?
Howard, shame, shame, shame!!!!! Reliable Sources? Bill O'Reilly might as well call his show the No-Spin Factor.
You feature a debate on Ann Coulter's hate spew and highlight the fact that many networks played Coulter's comment on Good Morning America where she advanced the idea that John Edwards be shot in a terrorist assassination plot, but that they did not play the entire context of her quote.
Well, Howard, making sure I am reliable, here's Ann's full quote: "But about the same time, you know, Bill Maher was not joking and saying he wished Dick Cheney had been killed in a terrorist attack. So I've learned my lesson. If I'm gonna say anything about John Edwards in the future, I'll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot."
See. Then we would have known, as your Townhall.com reliably-sourced guest said, that liberals like Maher did the same thing and that, in fact, networks were trying to make what Coulter say, seem even worse. Damn you liberal media.
Which might be true, if not for one thing. It was a lie. Maher didn't say the same thing. Not even close. Believe it or not, Ann lied.
I know you don't have the Factor's crack research team to check out every source, reliably, so perhaps I could invest a good two seconds out of my life to help you out. Here's the March 2 show transcript; scroll down about halfway and you'll find Maher and his panel of guests discussing a dust-up over related statements that appeared in the "comments" section of the HuffingtonPost blog. In no way can Coulter honestly claim, "Bill Maher [said] he wished Dick Cheney had been killed in a terrorist attack."
So why in the world should the networks run the first half of Ann's quote when her reference to Maher was a lie?
In the least, when you played the complete GMA/Coulter quote, you should have brought up that she had herself mangled Maher's comments only so that she could spew her personal and hateful venom yet make it appear that "everyone is doing it."
Amazing, huh? The show meant to watchdog over the reliability in the media, didn't. Instead you fed into the same kind of distortion of events that the Right's broadcast Lords of Loud dwell on that always seems to attain some kind of "other half of the truth" credibility. Like Gore said he invented the Internet or that Kerry was a coward. That Maher had already dealt with Coulter's allegation in March, when it was first bandied about by the Right's Noise Machine. That should have been enough not to let it fly again. But repeating a lie never seems to hurt on the Right, especially when the so-called liberal media at CNN allows it free reign.

Nigeria's floating school in the 'Venice of Lagos'
with Reuters
On the lagoon of Nigeria's capital Lagos lies the Makoko slum, home to nearly 100,000 people.
The residents of the water community, predominantly fishermen, live on stilts and move around in boats.
However, a prototype floating structure stands out amongst the rest, the Makoko floating school.
Constructed between 2012 and 2013, the school was constructed by a Nigerian architect, Kunlé Adeyemi.
In boats, students often make their way to the pyramid structure which sits on a platform that consists of plastic barrels to give balance.
the "Venice of Africa": video of Lagos' amazing floating informal city, Makoko, and the Floating School https://t.co/U08ym8PO1q #fb
— Tim McCormick (@tmccormick) February 27, 2016
Speaking to Reuters, Shemede Noah, the director of the school said, "I'm very happy about it because in the whole community, we only built on pile and steel. Nobody experienced floating school, floating structure because by the time they started building the school everybody was saying that it's unbelievable, we can't wait to see it, it can't happen."
The institution, deemed as a pillar of hope, gives the residents an opportunity for 100 students to be educated.
In 2013, Makoko was on the verge of demolition, but since the rise of the floating school the local government wants to incorporate the design into its own urban planning.

Great experience and expert care!
My sons were both fit with braces by Dr. George several years ago. My younger son has a permanent retainer which became loose while home from college on break. When I called Dr. George's office, they got him right in, saw him on time and were, as usual very pleasant. Thanks!!
Every time my daughter visits Dr. George's office the entire staff is extremely friendly and sincere. Dr. Cassarella always remembers who my daughter and I are and spends time talking to her and asks her about school and her family. We really like the personalized experience when we go to the office. My daughter is always seen on time and we never have to wait. My daughter misplaced her retainers and they scheduled a visit for her within the week of my call during an evening time slot so she did not have to miss school and I did not have to miss work.
This is my second child who is in need of braces! We love Dr. George and her caring staff! Can't wait for another beautiful smile!
Tonight was our first visit for both of my children. Not only was the staff very friendly and informative. Dr. George personally came out to meet us when we arrived.
Was very impressed by the personnel and the clinic itself. 0 wait time!!!
I have called the Dr. George's office to see if they can find some time to adjust an uncomfortable wire before my next scheduled appointment. They called it a "comfort visit" and immediately found a slot for making this adjustment. Everyone in this office is so professional.
I highly recommend this orthodontist. They are clean and professional and give excellent results.
I was a first time patien and I can honestly say I was impressed. Great quality service, friendly stuff and professionalism.


I found this TUTORIAL and haven't stopped yet.
Here are just a few I've made….
This was the first one I made….
Our local little sewing store has this ribbon in various colors for just 30 cents a yard.
Give them a try. You will be hooked.
These are so cute! They look fun and easy to make too. I can't wait to try it. Thanks for the link and the idea!

Recognising his services to film industry, the state government honoured Paidi Jairaj by naming the meeting hall in Ravindra Bharati by after 'Paidi Jai Raj Preview Theatre'.
The respect for Telangana language, culture and literature increased in the film industry with the state government's constant efforts in the home state.

League of Ext. Gentlemen: Century 1910, a late review.
Posted: July 10, 2009 in Comic Books, Crossover Reviews, Crossovers
Tags: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century
LOEG Century: 1910, is the first chapter of the third editon of the League. (Last years Black Dossier was just a supplement) While the first two editions were originally 12 issue mini-series, Century is/will be three small graphic novels. Part 2 will be released next year, and part 3 the year after that.
The story opens (In the year 1910 of course) with supernatural Detective Thomas Carnacki having a dream about a cult, as well as a strange woman on an island, that we know to be Captain Nemo's daughter. He awakes to discuss the dream with gentlemen theif Mr. Raffles, and soon Mina Murray, Quatermain, and Orlando arrive.
Mr Raffles and Carnacki are both from turn of the century British fiction. Mina and Quatermain are the common characters throughout the series. Both are now immortal after bathing in a secret African pool. Quatermain is now young again, and poses as the son of the supposedly dead Allan Quatermain. Parts of the story deal with the pressures Allan and Mina feel from being immortal, and subequently having to change identities.
Orlando is harder to explain, basically a gender changing immortal, whose life was detailed in Black Dossier, having met or actually was many of history's great warriors. Orlando in this story is male, very vain, and annoying. His team mates don't believe his stories of founding London or actually having Excalibur. One funny scene early on is him bemoaning having to shave, saying it's worse than a woman having her period. Another laugh out loud moment is when arouses the anger of the group by smarting off to Mina. Quatermain tells him his words were the stupidest thing he ever said. His response is "Oh I don't know, there was "Oh look, a wonderful horse." That was at Troy." Hilarious.
Other funny moments are Raffles making a comment to Quatermain (not knowing he's immortal) about how everybody dies eventually. Also Mina notes she used to not be superstitious, which is why she now wears a scarf. (Dracula) One nice touch is a kitchy reproduction of the Nautilus, made for tourists.
Anyway there's two stories going on here. One is the mystical villain Haddo, (A composite character of the fictional versions of real life occultist Aleister Crowley) getting preparing to bring the Moonchild into the world. The Moonchild being something akin to the anti-christ.
The other story is Janni reluctantly taking the mantle of her father Captain Nemo. This also intermixes with the return of Jack the Ripper. These parts of the story are told in song, sung by some older woman who watches Janni, but herself seems unnoticed. It's interesting that at first we assume the song is about Janni, but it's actually about Jack. The plot threads sort of run into each other by the end. There's a nice twist here or there, but the story's strong points are in it's character moments.
Of course we see other fictional characters in this story. There's references to The Lost World, and in one panel we see Popeye. We also meet Andrew Norton, who I believe is a modern fictional character who travels through time but can only stay in London.
Finally there are a few short prose pieces in the back, under the heading of Minions of the Moon. We get references to the Stone Monolith from 2001 the Space Oddyssey, as well as the erotic tale The Story of O. We also learn that during the 60s Mina posed as the hero Vull the Invisible, in a failed attempt to form a superhero team called the Seven Stars. Finally the team is off to the moon to stop a war between two Lunar races and they see a frozen Moriarty flying through space. (from volume one)
It's a little tricky to review this by itself, as it's like reviewing the opening chapter of a book. By now some of it's good moments require reading the previous editions. My guess is the whole of century will be greater than the sum of it's part. I'm looking forward to future editions and am curious for the Moonchild and Minions of the Moon stories. 4/5 stars. Until next year, Excelsior!
Genius and wierdness.

New technique for cruciate ligament operations at Speising Orthopaedic Hospital
(APA/Vienna, 16 December 2016) Surgeons at Speising Orthopaedic Hospital in Vienna have developed a new method for performing operations to repair tears in the anterior cruciate ligament. This involves using a tendon that stretches from the upper thigh to the tibia and – and this is the new part – remains attached to the tibia and therefore supplied with blood and only has to be attached as the other "end".
The current procedure is to remove a strip of patellar tendon or femoral tendon and then graft it back in again. That means that the blood supply to it is interrupted. "It takes between one and three years before the tendon becomes a ligament of equivalent strength," explains Michael Enekel, Head of the specialist Reconstructive Knee Surgery and Sports Orthopaedics team, speaking at a press conference in Vienna.This lengthy period could be shortened by this new method. "A good blood supply means good recovery," says Patrick Weninger, trauma surgeon in the hospital's sports team. He first described the modified technique with a group at MedUni Vienna (Division of Anatomy, Project Leader: Lena Hirtler). This new method should speed up the healing process. However, the surgeons are not yet able to say by how much this will reduce the time it takes for the tendon to become a ligament, because the technique is not going to be used on patients until the first quarter of next year.Christian Wurnig, Head of the Speisinger Sports Orthopaedics Division, expects the new technique to minimise the risk for patients, since the cruciate ligament graft only has to be attached at one point. "It means that fixation to the tibia is no longer necessary," says the expert. And this fixation process is extremely difficult, because the success of the operation essentially depends upon the drill holes being exactly in the anatomically correct position.Every year, 400 cruciate ligament operations are performed in Speising Orthopaedic Hospital. Experience has shown that Winter is the peak accident season. "Ski season is knee season" says Wurnig. According to figures from the KFV (Austrian Road Safety Board), nearly 26,000 skiers and snowboarders had to be treated in hospital as a result of accidents in 2015. Knee injuries accounted for one third of these cases.(APA/km/wh)

For many people, the first signs of aging occur around the eyes. The muscles of the eye region have been used constantly throughout a person's life, and this constant movement causes wrinkles to form earlier. Eyelid surgery, known as Blepharoplasty, is a common surgical procedure done to improve the tired appearance of the eyes. This is a popular procedure among men because they often find their eyes prematurely age them. Men tend to have heavier skin around their eyes, which causes the skin to wrinkle or sag into puffy bags under their eyes. Eyelid surgery can have amazing results for men who feel younger on the inside than they appear on the outside.
Older men often get the label of being "grumpy" or "angry" or "tired" because of their facial appearances. Eyelid surgery is a good option for men because it allows a relatively simple procedure to produce amazing results. This procedure can be done alone, or it can be combined with another procedure for even more dramatic results. Often, many men choose to combine eyelid surgery with a facelift if they are looking to completely rejuvenate their appearances. Dr. Hunter Moyer, MD, at Atlanta Plastic Surgery, P.C. offers expertise to both men and women who are hoping to recreate their appearances through plastic surgery. His specific techniques allow for natural and long-lasting results, which is what everyone wants when they choose to have a cosmetic procedure done. Not many people want their procedures to be obvious; they want to keep people guessing about why they are looking so good and refreshed!
If you are interested in eyelid surgery, please contact the practice of Hunter Moyer, MD today. As a board certified plastic surgeon, he offers his expertise and superior precision toward all of his procedures. Atlanta Plastic Surgery, P.C. is the leading choice for plastic surgery in Atlanta. We are here to help our patients look and feel their best.


Winthrop Patterson Baker Jr., a trailblazer as a Westinghouse Broadcasting television executive, died Saturday. He was 71 and lived in Wilton, Conn.
A native New Yorker who began in television in Louisiana, Mr. Baker was president of the Westinghouse Broadcasting Co. in New York in the 1970s. At the time, Westinghouse was an innovative national powerhouse in radio and television, vying for prominence with competing networks, sometimes in association with them, sometimes in fierce rivalries.
Mr. Baker, known as Win, grew up in New Orleans, graduated in 1953 with a degree in business administration from Louisiana State University and got a director's job at a New Orleans television station. He had managerial positions at stations in Baton Rouge and Lafayette, La.; Peoria; Boston; Baltimore; Philadelphia; and Pittsburgh before being named president of Westinghouse Broadcasting in 1973.
At various stages of his career, Mr. Baker produced, directed and wrote hundreds of programs. He helped develop concepts that survive in today's feature-heavy news, all-talk and magazine formats. He foreshadowed them with "PM Magazine" in 1976.
During his tenure, a Westinghouse station in Baltimore began a morning talk show with a young anchorwoman named Oprah Winfrey.
He retired from television in 1984.

I love the Sutton fair. It's a mini CNE ~ hee hee hee. I had a great time and met some really nice people! It is especially nice when some one comments on how they love my work. It usually takes me by surprise! Visually you can not help but be stimulated by the fair! People and places! Happy faces!
Today, I've been drawing (I mostly prefer to draw in the evening) and I just can't help but feel blessed! I get lost when I draw. I am amazed myself at how some drawings just turn out! Without much thought (most times) they appear! As if magic.
I look at it and say - look at the flamingo! That flamingo came from memory. Or I realize I have drawn myself sitting with Jesus, just as I've imagined it. Once on paper it becomes a different reality. Then a fond memory.
The tooth is gone and i feel better! Nope, it did not have any effect on the twitch. But I still feel better ;-) Thank you God! I'll take what you give.

How to Get Water Out Of Your Ear?
In most cases, water stays trapped in our ear due to swimming. However, there are other cases that cause water to get trapped in the ear canal. Any exposure to water might result in water in the ear .
When that happens, you might feel tickling sensation in your ear, and the feeling usually extends to the jawbone and throat. The question people ask then is how to get water out of your ear.
Due to water in your ear canal, you might experience hearing problems, as you might hear only muffled sounds. In some cases, water drains out of your ear on its own.
On other cases, the trapped water might result in an ear infection . The medical term for the infection is "swimmer's ear".
What is water in ear?
When you have water, or any other fluid trapped in the ear, the condition is called serous otitis media, or otitis media with effusion. The condition is basically an accumulation of fluid behind the ear drum that can occur under any condition when the auditory tube is impaired.
This tube allows the fluid to drain from the ear and into the back of the throat. When the tube is clogged, fluids become trapped in the middle ear space. Common cold and allergies can also lead to fluid in the ear due to inflammation.
When you are sick, mucous prevent the auditory tube from draining.
With that in mind, let's take a look at all of the causes of swimmer's ear and how to get water out of your ear .
Anyone can get water trapped in the ear. However, children are more likely to suffer from this condition because of the anatomy of their auditory tube. The tube is smaller in diameter in children, and also more horizontal than the tube of an adult.
Each year, there are more than 2 million cases of water in ear, and more than 90 out of 100 children get fluid in their ear at some point.
All cases of fluid in the ear are caused by auditory tube dysfunction. The cause for the dysfunction is different, but the result is always the same, as the Eustachian tube cannot drain out properly .
Now that we know the causes, we need to look at the symptoms as well. The moment you notice the symptoms, you need to do something for how to get water out of your ear.
Symptoms range in severity by individuals. Small children are usually symptomless. However, there is also a belief that children just cannot express discomfort in the absence of severe ear pain. That is why most symptoms go unnoticed by parents and caretakers.
Adults, on the other hand, experience either subtle symptoms, or cite constant ear pain and debilitating symptoms.
While these are the general symptoms for fluid in the ears, you need to understand that some other ear infections and conditions cause similar symptoms and problems .
These conditions include middle ear infection, ear barotrauma, earache, and ear drainage.
As mentioned before, once you notice the symptoms of water in ear, you need to start looking for answers how to get water out of your ear.
With that in mind, let's take a look at several natural remedies.
This is the simplest, and arguably most commonly used method for getting water out of ear. Jiggling your earlobe might help you shake the water out right away.
For this method, gently tug or jiggle your earlobe while tilting your head in a downward motion toward the shoulder. If you ever watched swimming at the Olympics, you might have noticed swimmers doing this after the race. Or if you've been to the pool, you've definitely seen someone do it.
While in this position, you can also try shaking your head from side to side.
Sometimes, the most natural method is just to allow nature to do the work. Or in this case, gravity. Thanks to gravity and how it works, the water will be drained from your ear.
To use gravity, lie on your side for few minutes. Place your head on a towel to absorb the water. It will take few minutes, but the water will slowly drain out.
Using cold compress you can release that water trapped between your Eustachian tube . This is the tube that connects the middle ear to the area behind the nasal passage. To use cold compress for getting water out of ear, follow these steps.
Start by damping a washcloth in hot, but not scalding water. Wring out the washcloth before using so it doesn't drip. Tilt your head downward on the affected side.
Apply the cloth to the outside of the ear. Let it stay there for 30 seconds, and then remove it for one minute. Repeat the process four or five times. Afterwards, sit up or lie down on the side opposite of the affected area.
A vacuum will help draw the water out of your ear. To create a vacuum, you first need to tilt your head sideways. Rest your ear onto cupped palm. Make sure to create a tight seal.
Now, gently push your hand back and forth toward the ear in rapid motion, flattening it as you push and cupping as you pull. Once you are done pushing back and forth for few seconds, tilt your head down. This will allow the water to drain out of your ear.
A blow dryer works similarly as a hot compress. The heat will evaporate the water inside, and you will be water and pain-free.
Set up your blow dryer at the lowest setting. Hold the dryer about one foot away from your ear. Move it in back and forth motion. While tugging down on your earlobe, allow the warm air to blow into your ear.
Moving your mouth can sometimes help open the Eustachian tube, and allow water to drain out. In that case, all you have to do is yawn or chew a gum to relive the tension in the tube. While yawing and chewing, tilt your head to release water trapped in your ear.
This method can easily open your clogged and closed Eustachian tubes. However, you need to be very careful, as it can be risky and damage your ear drum. Do not blow too hard.
To perform the maneuver, close your mouth and gently squeeze your nostrils shut with your fingers .
Breathe deeply, and slowly blow the air out of your nose. Once you hear a popping sound, that means the tubes have opened. Now, tilt your head to allow the water to drain from your ear.
Alcohol can help eliminate growth of bacteria and evaporate water in the ear. But that doesn't mean you need to get your ears drunk.
This method is effective only when the water is trapped due to earwax buildup. Vinegar can help remove the earwax and allow the water to drain out .
Combine equal parts of alcohol and vinegar to prepare eardrops. Get a sterile dropper, and apply just two or three drops in the ear. Gently rub the outside, and after 30 seconds, tilt your head sideways to let the solution and water drain out.
This method is not recommended if you have outer ear infection, eardrum tubes, or a perforated eardrum.
Similar as vinegar, hydrogen peroxide can also clear debris, earwax, bacteria, and trapped water inside your ear.
For this remedy, use a clean dropper and place two to three drops of hydrogen peroxide into your ear. Wait two or three minutes for the solution to clean the ear. Then, tilt the affected side downward, and the fluids will drain out.
Same as with the alcohol treatment, do not use hydrogen peroxide if you have outer ear infection, perforated eardrum, or eardrum tubes.
Olive oil can help you for how to get water out of your ear, and also prevent ear infection in the same time. For this remedy, warm olive oil in a small bowl. Do not overheat it, you do not want to burn your ear. Use a clean dropper, and place 2 to 3 drops of olive oil in the affected ear.
Now, lie on your other side and stay like that for 10 minutes. Sit up, and tilt the ear downward. The water and oil will drain out.
You might notice a pattern here. Warm compress, warm olive oil, and now warm steam. When you use warm steam, you can release water from your middle ear. Take a hot shower, or just give yourself a mini sauna using a bowl of hot water.
For the latter, fill a large bowl with hot steaming water. Cover your head with a towel to ensure the steam stays in. Hold your face over the bowl, and inhale the steam for 5 to 10 minutes. Now, tilt your head to the side to drain the ear.
If you constantly suffer from water getting trapped in your ear, you need to do something to prevent the condition. One way to prevent water getting trapped is wearing a cap or ear plugs when bathing or swimming.
After coming out of water, use a dry towel to clean your ears. Another way to prevent water getting trapped is shaking your head from side to side after getting out of the water.
Why it is important to get water out of the ear?
You might think water is harmless, so why bother getting it out of your ear? Well, if water is trapped for too long, you might develop an infection. Bacteria breeding and found in polluted water is the cause for the ear infection.
People swimming in water containing high levels of bacteria, for example, a lake, are at risk of developing swimmer's ear .
Our ear has different defense mechanisms that protect against infection. However, if they defenses are overwhelmed, an ear infection occurs. Conditions like excess moisture in the ear, allergies to hair products and jewelry, and scratches and cuts in the ear canal can promote ear infection.
When an infection develops, a person will experience intense itching and increased pain. The ear may even become too painful to touch. You might also experience fluid drainage and discharge of pus.
Severe ear infection often leads to fever, pain in the face, neck, side of the head, and swelling of the lymph nodes in the neck. Complications may include temporary hearing difficulties and pain. In some cases, you might even experience long-term infection, resulting in bone and cartilage drainage.
If the problem with water in your ear persists for more than several days, and home remedies have not helped, you should consult with a physician. When the pain is severe, and a fever is present, visit a physician immediately.
You need to understand that ear infections can be serious if not treated, and they lead to hearing loss and damage to cartilage.
Treatment for ear infection includes over-the-counter eardrops that are alcohol based. These can help reduce moisture in the outer ear canal and kill bacteria.
With all that talk about how to get water out of your ear, we need to look at a condition that can occur if you do not take proper care of your ears.
Swimmer's ear is a disorder of the skin that covers the outer ear canal leading to the tympanic membrane, or eardrum.
The condition is also known as acute otitis externa, or external otitis. In more than 98% of the cases, the swimmer's ear is a result of a bacterial infection (streptococcus, staphylococcus, o pseudomonas).
The condition occurs after excessive water exposure. While the ear has defense mechanisms to protect itself, they work when the ear is dry.
Germs and bacteria accumulate in pools and other areas of fresh water. And if you do not get water out of your ear after swimming or spending time in water, the bacteria will accumulate.
While it is easy to treat, it is best that you prevent it.
There are three different types of external otitis, one of which is swimmer's ear.
While the condition can occur due to swimming in water with bacteria, there are other risk factors that can contribute to swimmer's ear.
For example, over-cleaning, scratching, scrapping, and prodding the ear canal is considered a risk factor. It is recommended not to use cotton swabs for cleaning.
Having too much earwax is also a risk factor. You need to clean your ears properly, and take care of hygiene. Wearing a swim cap for too long can also increase the risk of water getting trapped inside your ear.
Children are a risk group. We mentioned their anatomy is different and the ear canal is smaller.
The treatment for the condition is straightforward. Once the physician diagnoses the problem, he/she will prescribe you painkillers to relieve discomfort. You will also use ear drops, and a specialist might use microsuction to clean the ear . That will make the ear drops more effective.
In some cases, an ear wick can help. And in some cases, home remedies mentioned previously can help, as long as the infection is not severe. One home treatment that works is mixing equal parts of rubbing alcohol and vinegar and using the solution as ear drops.

These lithium-ion batteries can't catch fire because they harden on impact
September 6, 2018 /in Industrial News, News Center, 產業新聞 /by DPC
Lithium-ion batteries commonly used in consumer electronics are notorious for bursting into flame when damaged or improperly packaged. These incidents occasionally have grave consequences, including burns, house fires and at least one plane crash. Inspired by the weird behavior of some liquids that solidify on impact, researchers have developed a practical and inexpensive way to help prevent these fires.
They will present their results today at the 256th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS).
"In a lithium-ion battery, a thin piece of plastic separates the two electrodes," Gabriel Veith, Ph.D., says. "If the battery is damaged and the plastic layer fails, the electrodes can come into contact and cause the battery's liquid electrolyte to catch fire."
To make these batteries safer, some researchers instead use a nonflammable, solid electrolyte. But these solid-state batteries require significant retooling of the current production process, Veith says. As an alternative, his team mixes an additive into the conventional electrolyte to create an impact-resistant electrolyte. It solidifies when hit, preventing the electrodes from touching if the battery is damaged during a fall or crash. If the electrodes don't touch each other, the battery doesn't catch fire. Even better, incorporating the additive would require only minor adjustments to the conventional battery manufacturing process.
The project's eureka moment came when Veith and his kids were playing with a mix of cornstarch and water known as oobleck. "If you put the mixture on a cookie tray, it flows like a liquid until you start poking it, and then it becomes a solid," says Veith, who is based at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and is the project's principal investigator. After the pressure is removed, the substance liquefies again. Veith realized he could exploit this reversible "shear thickening" behavior to make batteries safer.
This characteristic depends on a colloid, which is a suspension of tiny, solid particles in a liquid. In the case of oobleck, the colloid consists of cornstarch particles suspended in water. For the battery colloid, Veith and his colleagues at Oak Ridge and the University of Rochester used silica suspended in common liquid electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries. On impact, the silica particles clump together and block the flow of fluids and ions, he explains. The researchers used perfectly spherical, 200-nanometer-diameter particles of silica, or essentially a superfine sand. "If you have that very uniform particle size, the particles disperse homogeneously in the electrolyte, and it works wonderfully," Veith says. "If they're not homogenously sized, then the liquid becomes less viscous on impact, and that's bad."
A few other labs have been studying shear thickening to make batteries safer. One team previously reported on research with "fumed" silica, which consists of tiny irregular particles of silica. Another group recently reported on the effect of using rod-shaped silica particles. Veith thinks his spherical particles might be easier to make than the rod-shaped silica and have a faster response and more stopping power on impact than fumed silica.
One of Veith's major advances involves the production process for the batteries. During manufacture of traditional lithium-ion batteries, an electrolyte is squirted into the battery case at the end of the production process, and then the battery is sealed. "You can't do that with a shear-thickening electrolyte because the minute you try to inject it, it solidifies," he says. The researchers solved this by putting the silica in place before adding the electrolyte. They are seeking a patent on their technique.
In the future, Veith plans to enhance the system so the part of the battery that's damaged in a crash would remain solid, while the rest of the battery would go on working. The team is initially aiming for applications such as drone batteries, but they would eventually like to enter the automotive market. They also plan to make a bigger version of the battery, which would be capable of stopping a bullet. That could benefit soldiers, who often carry 20 pounds of body armor and 20 pounds of batteries when they're on a mission, Veith says. "The battery would function as their armor, and that would lighten the average soldier by about 20 pounds."

China and Russia Dump the Capitalist Dollar!
Holy planned economy comrades, China and Russia officially denounce the dollar as worth less green TP! According to the state run and enviously censored China Daily, Russia and China are now trading in Rouble and Yuan amongst each other, forget that worthless POS greenback! The worlds leading federalized energy producer is now piping oil direct to the world biggest carbon foot print! It has all the makings of communist perfection to include crushing the ultimate symbol of capitalism, the dollar with all its dead and now useless presidents emblazoned upon it.
Meanwhile, the Kabuki Theatre behind the silk curtain combined with extreme censorship again will surely result in success this time. No one will hear or care about mass killings or any other atrocities as neither country cares about such collateral damage as the rest of the world cheers them on. The puppetry of NK to do China's bidding is yet another sublime maneuver to yet again use its pesky neighbor as the axe grinder while the red state looks the other way. I am sure the people of China are unaware of world events and it would not matter anyways as they have no say, as it should be.
Soon enough China will be bailing everyone out and we will all be lucky enough to be in her kollective!
Uncle George will live forever! or not!
"We are fairly certain that he will never die, and there is already considerable doubt as to when he was born."
I am convinced he is Lenin reanimated with a halloween mask glued on.

Football politics
Eric Dier dared to do – what a sign of our times
FOOTBALL has long tolerated bad behaviour, indeed it has been ingrained in the culture of the sport for decades. Whether it is fans hurling racist chants at black players, skinheads trading punches or footballers displaying petty violence and petulance, football has invariably conceded that these things are "just part of the game".
Eric Dier's foolish but gallant attempt at showing that some things are unacceptable will undoubtedly end with the England defender being suspended, fined and maybe even saying goodbye to any more velvet caps from the Football Association. Dier may have stepped beyond the mark, his giant steps hurdling the seats at Tottenham's excellent stadium, presenting a daunting image, but his reaction demonstrated that, once more, football is a reflection of the times we live in. As in other walks of life, prejudice, bigotry and intolerance are not being embraced by some segments of the younger generation. Gradually, in workplaces, sexism, homophobia and racism are being driven out, the much-derided financial industry has been ahead of many sectors of the community. Some clubs have been standard bearers for a more inclusive football world.
But others cling on to a sub-culture of ignorance and myopia. A few years ago, I witnessed outright racism at White Hart Lane for a game against Partizan Belgrade. I was shocked and reported to a steward that a middle-aged fan had confronted a young black Spurs fan and told him to "fuck off to Arsenal". The steward laughed and shrugged his shoulders. At the FA Cup final between Chelsea and Liverpool in 2012, I sat next to a family who, for 90 minutes, abused Chelsea's players, notably those that had played for Liverpool. The most vile comments didn't come from the adults, they came from a little lad of no more than seven or eight. Fernando Torres was visibly horrified. It would be nice to think things have moved on, but listening to fans around the country this past season or two has proved that we have regressed, perhaps due to the toxic political environment that has seen anti-semitism and racism come to the fore.
On the same day that Dier slalomed his way towards the foul-mouthed fan, a young man was filmed urinating into a beer bottle on London's Northern Line underground train. At just after midday. There are no excuses for such antics and hopefully, he will be found and prosecuted for indecency, but moral decay appears to be a trend that is pervading all quarters of daily life in Britain.
Why should it be tolerated? Dier made it clear that he was not putting up with the abuse and football, generally, should learn from this. There are too many fans who believe the football stadium is a forum for bad language, anti-social antics and a licence to abuse individuals. They claim a player is paid so much that he should be able to endure insults to him, his family or children and he has absolutely no right to react. Cowardly fans have hidden behind the anonymity that a big crowd has given them over the years, but with CCTV and ticket-only games, pinpointing the culprits should be easy.
Did Dier cross a line in entering the stand at Spurs? He certainly hadas more right to do that than any fan has in entering the field of play. Turning the other cheek is supposed to be the way to handle abuse, but these are different times. In the 1970s and 1980s, clubs erected fences to stop fans running across the pitch, the cynics would suggest the reintroduction of barriers can protect fans from the players!
Footballers are human beings, most are unremarkable as people. In other words, they are just like any person on the Clapham omnibus. Money does not make a person stronger mentally or make emotions any more robust. They deserve respect like anyone else.
Nobody has the right to behave badly just because they are inside a football stadium. It is time for clubs to really act against individuals and for the game's governing bodies to discipline clubs that cannot control their audience. As for Dier, football's culture demands he is penalised in some way, but whoever raps his knuckles should ask themselves what they would have done in the same circumstances.

Excellent article Neil. I have no doubt that the political situation over the last few years is the reason for what is going on, not just in football, but everyday life. I've witnessed it myself and from people who I expect better from.
Stuart Edwards says:
Really good article. I am afraid Britain has become a much less pleasant country in which to live. The selfishness of Thatcherism has been compounded by by the toxicity of the Brexit debate. Behaviours once deemed unacceptable have become accepted again.

Has the thought crossed your mind of getting another vehicle?
If you responded with a yes, it is important to know what you want and how you are going to pay for it among other things.
With that being the case, is now the time for another vehicle in your life?
For many consumers, what a vehicle could cost them will rise to the top of their lists. So, how much can you afford to pay for another auto now? If you are having challenges with meeting your bills, getting a new or used vehicle now may not be the best call. The last thing you'd want to do is have more of a strain on your finances. So, it is wise to sit down and crunch the numbers first. Once you've done this, you are in a better position to determine what you can in fact afford.
Whether using a car for commutes to work or even trips, you want reliability. As such, it is important to research what the most reliable cars and trucks are on the market. This goes for both new and used options. By taking the time do your homework, you will be a more informed consumer as you inch closer to making a decision. Read different periodicals both online and in print to get more safety rating news. Turning to outside family and friends with vehicles is also good. It provides a means of getting feedback on what they like and do not like.
In the event you opt to go the used car route, do even more research than if you were buying something brand new. Remember, a used vehicle has miles on it and a history to it. As a result, you want to learn all you can about it. One of the ways to decipher more info is by going online and conducting a free license plate owner lookup. Such efforts will make it easier to get the lowdown on the vehicle. In some instances, you can learn how the owner has cared for it.
Last, when deciding you want a brand new vehicle, what do you think you might be able to get on a trade-in? Be sure you get every last dollar out of your present vehicle. Unless the mileage is super high, you should be able to work out a decent deal. Also, make it a point to test drive as many new autos as you have interest in. This will give you some good comparisons with which to consider. When a new or used vehicle in your future sounds sooner than later, do all you can to investigate what is out there.

Virginia Creeper Trail
Located on 34 miles of an abandoned railway right of way in Southwest Virginia, the Virginia Creeper Trail is considered to be one of the most scenic rails to trails in eastern North America. Seventeen miles of the trail, from Whitetop to Damascus, Virginia is a fun downhill ride for thousands of bikers during the season.
Virginia Creeper Mile Marker
Mile marker No. 8 on the Virginia Creeper Trail. These mile markers still remain after the rails and ties from the original Virginia Creeper railroad were removed in 1977-1978 to create the hiking / biking trail. They originally marked the distance from the old depot in Abingdon Virginia. The Abingdon branch of the Norfolk and Western railroad ran from Abingdon, Virginia to Elkland (now Todd), North Carolina, a distance of 76 miles.
After the timber ran out, the train ceased running to Elkland and the Abingdon Branch continued running to West Jefferson, North Carolina. Passenger service stopped in 1962 and the last freight train ran in March 1977. The Virginia Creeper trail was then created on the old rail bed from Abingdon, Virginia to the North Carolina state line.

Austria: New antibody for anemia therapy developed
A research team developed an innovative antibody for chronic anemia treatment in dialysis patients. It allows for a lower EPO dose and the resulting minimization of cardiovascular risk.
The antibody is expected to enter clinical trials soon
A team from the Innsbruck University Clinic for Internal Medicine II (Director: Günter Weiss) at the Medical University of Innsbruck has co-developed an innovative antibody for the therapy of chronic anemia in dialysis patients. The added value of the new approach lies in the lower erythropoietin (EPO) dose required and the associated minimization of the cardiovascular risk to which kidney patients are particularly exposed. Following the promising results in mouse and rat models, the antibody is expected to enter clinical trials soon.
Anemia of chronic disease (ACD) is a common problem in dialysis patients. In addition to the functional iron deficiency caused by chronic inflammation, the damaged kidneys of these patients do not produce enough of the most important hormone for blood formation, erythropoietin (EPO). The administration of EPO is therefore a therapeutic cornerstone to correct anemia. However, despite the maximum dosage, the formation of the oxygen transport protein hemoglobin remains limited in dialysis patients due to the development of EPO resistance.
A recent "black box warning" also links EPO to increased cardiovascular mortality. "This warning poses an additional dilemma for dialysis patients since renal failure is in itself associated with an increased cardiovascular risk," emphasizes Igor Theurl, who has been researching ACDs for many years at the Innsbruck University Clinic for Internal Medicine II together with Director Günter Weiss.
The antibody inhibits iron regulator hepcidin
The research team around Theurl now tested the new human monoclonal antibody KY1070. Its effectiveness was demonstrated in an animal model that can be transferred to patients with kidney damage requiring dialysis. "In animals that did not respond adequately to EPO, it was possible to achieve a sufficient increase in hemoglobin by combining the antibody with the antibody. In addition, a lower EPO dose was sufficient to combat anemia, which, considering the side effects of EPO, is an important basis for its use in dialysis patients," said main author Verena Petzer (from the University Clinic for Internal Medicine V. The results were published in the renowned journal BLOOD.
Potential for mono- and combination therapy
The therapeutic potential of the new antibody can be exploited as a monotherapy as well as in combination with EPO. The antibody influences the signal transduction for the formation of hepcidin. As a monotherapy, it leads to long-term inhibition of hepcidin production and therefore to the high availability of iron, which is essential for the formation of red blood cells.
"The effects of combination therapy are multifactorial. The advantage of the combined treatment is the reduction of the EPO dose so that the cardiovascular risk is not additionally increased and at the same time sufficient iron availability is ensured. In addition, we have been able to demonstrate that the inhibition of hepcidin increases the expression of the iron transport protein ferroportin on the hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow and, together with EPO, leads to more effective blood formation," said Igor Theurl.
A fully human anti-BMP6 antibody reduces the need for erythropoietin in rodent models of the Anemia of Chronic Disease. https://doi.org/10.1182/blood.2019004653

4,000-Year-Old Jar Contains Italy's Oldest Olive Oil
By Laura Geggel, Senior Writer | June 1, 2018 10:21am ET

An egg-shaped ceramic jar covered with ceramic "rope" once held a prize delicacy: the oldest olive oil on record in Italy, a new study finds.
Researchers made the discovery after analyzing residue of the so-called liquid gold on the beautiful jar and two other vessels uncovered at Castelluccio, an archaeological site in Sicily.
"It had the signature of Sicilian tableware dated to the end of the third and beginning of the second millennium B.C., [during the] Early Bronze Age," Davide Tanasi, an assistant professor of history at the University of South Florida, said in a statement. "We wanted to learn how it was used, so we conducted chemical analysis on organic residues found inside."
The finding shows that the ancient people of Italy made and used olive oil at the end of the third millennium B.C., a good 700 years earlier than experts previously thought, the researchers said. [Photos: Ancient Pottery Once Held Olive Oil]
Archaeologists have known about the ceramic jar for a while; archaeologist Giuseppe Voza found it while directing excavations in Castelluccio, an ancient site dating back to the Bronze Age, in the 1990s. During the dig, archaeologists identified a site on a rocky ridge with 12 huts. The jar came from one of those huts, the researchers said.
However, the ancient jar was shattered. So conservators from the Paolo Orsi Regional Archaeological Museum of Syracuse, in Italy, restored and reassembled 400 ceramic fragments, reconstructing the egg-shaped, 3.5-foot-tall (1 meter) olive oil container, which an ancient artisan had decorated with rope bands and three vertical handles on each side.
As luck would have it, archaeologists at the site also found two fragmented basins with internal dividers, suggesting that these vessels were used to hold multiple substances. They also found a large terra-cotta cooking plate.
In the new study, the researchers tested the three ceramic containers and found that all three vessels had organic residue containing oleic and linoleic acids, which are signatures of olive oil.
"The results obtained with the three samples from Castelluccio become the first chemical evidence of the oldest olive oil in Italian prehistory, pushing back the hands of the clock for the systematic olive oil production by at least 700 years," Tanasi said.
Besides this new finding, the only known ancient storage jars with chemical signatures of olive oil in Italy were from the cities of Cosenza and Lecce, in southern Italy, that are thought to date to the Copper Age, during the 12th and 11th centuries B.C.
However, the Italian olive oil discoveries aren't the oldest in the books. An analysis of 8,000-year-old clay pots from what is now Israel also revealed the signatures of olive oil, Live Science previously reported. That finding supports research suggesting that olive trees were domesticated about 6,000 to 8,000 years ago.
Meanwhile, the oldest Italian wine on record dates to nearly 6,000 years ago and was also found at an archaeological site in Sicily, Live Science preciously reported.
The new study was published online May 7 in the journal Analytical Methods.

A family-owned business in Banbridge has invested £100,000 and created four jobs to support the continued growth of its online platform and export business. The investment was part supported by Danske Bank.
Donaghy Shoes operates from a 25,000 sq ft store on the main street, employs 75 staff and exports internationally to more than 50 countries.
Peter McVeigh, Director at Donaghy Shoes, said: "With the closure of many high-street shoe shops in Great Britain, we saw an opportunity to grow our business through our online platform. We launched our online store in 2010 but it has really gained momentum in the past three years. Today, 90 per cent of our sales go to Great Britain.
With a business plan committed to expansion and growth, the owners were looking for a bank that was flexible and could support the business's growth ambitions.
"We switched our banking to Danske Bank last December. The systems within Danske Bank are ideal for worldwide e-commerce operations as we operate in pounds, dollars and euros. Having the facilities and flexibility to work with different currencies is vital in the fast- paced world of e-commerce and having a relationship manager on the end of the phone is essential," he said.


DeLaSalle played the part of a top seed by returning to the winners circle for the fourth time in the past nine years with a 56-40 victory over No. 3 Becker in the Class AAA championship game on Saturday.
The victory marked the first crown for the Islanders (24-5) since winning the final title of three in a row in 2013. DeLaSalle, a Minneapolis-based private school, was the Class AAA runner-up in 2007 and 2008. That championship game loss in 2007 came to Becker when the Bulldogs won their only state title.
This championship edition was fueled by a balanced attack that in the final victory of the season produced four scorers in double figures. Sophomore center Nora Francois led the way with 14 points, two assists, a block and three steals. Freshman Kiani Lockett had 12 points, four assists and four steals while junior forward Nurjei Weems had 11 points, five assists, four blocks and three steals. Senior center Mary Claire Francois capped her prep career with 10 points and seven rebounds.
Becker (27-5) surged early in the second half and made runs at the Islanders, but DeLaSalle deflected the push, and instead, built a lead that would reach as many as 17 points. Sophomore guard Courtney Nuest scored nine of her 11 points in the first half.
DeLaSalle built a 31-22 lead at the break behind a balanced attack that produced timely baskets and a suffocating defense that coaxed Becker into 11 turnovers in the opening 18 minutes. Junior forward Nurjei Weems led the Islanders with eight points and two assists while playing the entire first half. Freshman forward Sydney Runsewe added seven points and sophomore center Nora Francois chipped in six for DeLaSalle, who led by as many as 11 in the first half.
