Eighteen receivers made NFL Network's "The Top 100: Players of 2011" list, which comes to about half the teams in the league being represented at the position.
As when I ranked the best quarterbacks and running backs over the last few weeks, the wideouts will be grouped into categories of five and put in alphabetical order. For example, Group A is my top five receivers in alphabetical order, meaning I don't necessarily believe the fifth player named is the fifth best receiver.
Each of the 50 receivers listed either has an (^) for guys on the rise, (>) for players maintaining their status and (v) for those on the decline.
I considered the last two seasons for the majority of the stats below to get a better picture of consistent production.
1. Larry Fitzgerald, Cardinals (>): In the past two years, he posted 187 receptions and 19 touchdowns. He had 90 catches this year without Kurt Warner as his quarterback or Anquan Boldin to take pressure off of him.
2. Andre Johnson, Texans (>): He has 187 receptions and 17 touchdowns the last two seasons.
3. Calvin Johnson, Lions (>): He put up 144 receptions and 17 touchdowns with three different quarterbacks between 2009 and 2010.
4. Reggie Wayne, Colts (>): He has the most receptions over our sample size (211) to go with 16 touchdowns. He also has 892 yards after the catch.
5. Roddy White, Falcons (^): Has 200 receptions and 21 touchdowns.
1. Miles Austin, Cowboys (^): A major scoring threat and one of only two receivers (Wes Welker) to total 1,000-plus yards after the catch over the past two years.
2. Dwayne Bowe, Chiefs (^): He has 19 TD receptions in his last 27 games.
3. DeSean Jackson, Eagles (>): He's a big play waiting to happen and one of only two receivers with a 20-yard average the past two seasons. He has 20 total touchdowns over that time.
4. Vincent Jackson, Chargers (>): The holdout hurt his numbers, but he was franchised by the Chargers for a reason.
5. Greg Jennings, Packers (^): He has 144 receptions and 16 touchdowns and is on the verge of exploding now that Aaron Rodgers has become an elite QB.
1. Marques Colston, Saints (>): He's a matchup nightmare in the perfect offense. He has 154 receptions and 15 touchdowns. He works an inside seam route that can't be stopped.
2. Santonio Holmes, Jets (>): He has the speed to be a threat on every play, but the Steelers let him go for off-the-field issues. He has 131 receptions and 11 touchdowns to go with an average of 15 yards per reception.
Rather than being seen as one of the best wideouts, Brandon Marshall must deal with the consequences of his off-the-field behavior, writes Vic Carucci.
3. Brandon Marshall, Dolphins (>): While he's produced 187 receptions and 13 touchdowns, his YAC dropped from 527 yards in 2009 to 238 in 2010.
4. Hakeem Nicks, Giants (^): The sky is the limit for this kid after posting 126 receptions and 17 TDs in his first two seasons.
5. Mike Wallace, Steelers (^): Speed kills, and this guy has plenty of it. His 20.3 yards per catch during our two-season sample size is the best in the NFL.
1. Anquan Boldin, Ravens (v): Still a tough yards-after-the-catch guy. He has 148 receptions and 11 touchdowns for two different teams the past two seasons.
2. Brandon Lloyd, Broncos (v): Was 2010 a sign of things to come, or is he the guy who caught two touchdowns in the previous four years combined?
3. Steve Smith, Panthers (v): One of the most intense, tough receivers in the game. Staying healthy has been his issue. Probably not in Carolina in 2011 but will help a team like the Raiders or Bears.
4. Wes Welker, Patriots (v): A machine in the slot but drops a few passes on occasion. He still has the second-most receptions over the past two seasons (209) and has 432 catches since 2007.
5. Mike Williams, Bucs (^): He found the end zone 11 times as a rookie. Another year like that, and he would have more receiving touchdowns over two years than any receiver on this list.
1. Donald Driver, Packers (v): Is just 42 yards away from becoming the all-time receiving yardage leader for the Packers and still has gas in the tank. He finds a way to make a big play when Green Bay needs it most.
2. Santana Moss, Redskins (v): An underrated, shorter receiver who never promotes himself like others do. He had 93 receptions last year and led all receivers in YAC with 505 yards.
3. Terrell Owens, Bengals (v): Say what you want about T.O. and how he has bounced around the league, but he still produces if you can put up with his antics. Between stops in Buffalo and Cincinnati, he has 127 receptions and 14 touchdowns. He can still help a team.
4. Sidney Rice, Vikings (^): If four-year players turn out to be free agents when we have a new CBA, he will be one of the most in demand. He has Randy Moss qualities. In his last 22 games, he has 100 receptions, 10 touchdowns and just under 16 yards a catch.
5. Hines Ward, Steelers (v): He's like Donald Driver: A tough, reliable vet who gets the job done whenever asked. In the last two seasons, he has 154 receptions and 11 touchdowns. When will Father Time catch up with him? After watching "Dancing with the Stars" ... not yet!
1. Percy Harvin, Vikings (^): His production could slip with the quarterback situation in Minnesota. If Rice leaves, things could get worse. Between his 131 receptions and 15 total touchdowns, he's dangerous like DeSean Jackson.
2. Jeremy Maclin, Eagles (^): Even though he plays in the shadows of DeSean Jackson, his numbers are comparable. He has two more receptions and just one fewer touchdown than his star teammate since 2009.
3. Randy Moss, Titans (v): It might be all over for the guy who played for three teams a year ago. He finished with a career-low 28 receptions. I will give him the benefit of the doubt that he can get it going one more time because of his Hall of Fame career.
4. Jordy Nelson, Packers (^): Just re-watch the Super Bowl (nine receptions), and you know he's on the rise. I expect him to have a big year in 2011 after 21 postseason grabs.
5. Chad Ochocinco, Bengals (v): He is not the receiver he once was and comes with more issues than almost any player in the league. His three-year average of 64 receptions and 5.6 touchdowns might not be worth the grief to most teams.
1. Michael Crabtree, 49ers (^): A talented receiver who needs an attitude adjustment to realize his potential. Better QB play would also help. He has 103 receptions and eight touchdowns since coming into the league in 2009, but is capable of a lot more.
2. Braylon Edwards, Jets (>): In Cleveland, he was known as a great athlete who dropped way too many passes. He's eliminated the drops in New York and has 88 grabs and 11 scores in 28 games since joining the Jets.
3. Lee Evans, Bills (v): Still the vertical threat for the Bills. He has seen more quarterbacks come and go than almost any other receiver but now has stability with Ryan Fitzpatrick. If Evans stays healthy, he could be back for a solid season and average close to 16 yards a catch. If not, he falls right off this list next year.
4. A.J. Green, Bengals (^): Although he hasn't played a down in the NFL, the talent is obvious. It all depends on who the QB is in Cincinnati.
5. Julio Jones, Falcons (^): He's going into the perfect situation: a tremendous quarterback and Roddy White on the opposite side. Jones will see single coverage all year long and should put up some impressive numbers as a rookie.
1. Danny Amendola, Rams (>): Some would say he doesn't belong this high. However, when you consider he had 85 receptions with a rookie quarterback and no featured wide receiver or tight end last year, it says something about him. Put him in a situation like New England, and he could have 100 receptions in the slot. In fact, St. Louis might plan to get him in the slot.
2. Stevie Johnson, Bills (^): Exploded with 82 receptions and 10 touchdowns last year. He is a hungry guy who had to fight his way into the NFL. Expect another very solid year. Duplicating his 2010 numbers would keep him on the rise.
3. Derrick Mason, Ravens (v): A solid veteran with 134 receptions and 14 touchdowns since 2009. He has 14 seasons under his belt.
4. Steve Smith, Giants (>): Even though he has to recover from injury, he has consistently produced when on the field. He's best in the slot but has played everywhere. In his last 25 games, he has 155 receptions and 10 touchdowns.
5. Mike Williams, Seahawks (>): Reinvented himself when he realized his career was over. He dropped weight and developed a work ethic. He only caught 44 passes from 2005-2007, was out of football for two seasons, and then returned to grab 65 balls last season. He will easily repeat that performance in 2011.
1. Steve Breaston , Cardinals (>): When asked to replace an injured Anquan Boldin a couple of years ago, the Cardinals didn't miss a beat. Even though he's a threat after the catch, his recent numbers have not been as impressive.
2. Nate Burleson, Lions (v): A solid complement to Calvin Johnson.
3. Jerricho Cotchery, Jets (>): A polished receiver who always knows how to get a first down.
4. Pierre Garcon, Colts (^): A rising star who has 114 receptions and 10 touchdowns over the last two years.
5. Roy Williams, Cowboys (v): He never lived up to the billing, and the Cowboys overpaid to get him from Detroit. In his two full seasons with the Cowboys, he's averaged 15 yards a catch with 12 touchdowns.
1. Davone Bess, Dolphins (>): A solid slot receiver with big numbers (155 receptions and seven touchdowns in the last two years).
2. Dez Bryant, Cowboys (^): Lots of talent but needs to work on it from the neck up.
3. Austin Collie, Colts (^): A product of a great system or an emerging talent?
4. Johnny Knox, Bears (^): He will be moving up and out of this group by the end of 2011 in Mike Martz's offense. He has 96 receptions at 15.5 yards per catch and 10 touchdowns in his first two seasons.
5. Lance Moore, Saints (>): Coaches know how good this guy is. He could get some solid offers in free agency if he hits the market. Throw out 2009, when he was injured, and look at 2008 and 2010. He had 145 receptions and 18 touchdowns over those two seasons.

Our newest board member + brilliant chef, Robin, shared this recipe featuring goat from Lucky George Farm. Robin says mutton, goat, or beef all work Give it a try!
Mix the ground meat, egg, onion powder, garlic, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce in a medium bowl. Form 4 equal size patties and refrigerate until ready to use. Note: for even more flavor, make the patties several hours before cooking.
For the sauce, heat a medium size skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and sauté, stirring occasionally until the pancetta is crisp. With a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a paper-towel lined plate. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the mushrooms. Sauté, stirring occasionally until the liquid released by the mushrooms evaporates and the mushrooms are browned – about 8 minutes. Add garlic and shallot, sauté for 1 minute longer.
Return the pancetta to the pan and add the tomato paste. Stir while sautéing, until the the tomato paste begins to brown. Add the Marsala wine to the pan, increase the heat to high and simmer vigorously, scraping brown bits from the bottom of the pan until the sauce is syrupy and reduced to about 1 1/4 cups – this will take anywhere from 5 – 10 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice followed by the butter. Keep the sauce warm, over low heat while cooking the burgers.
Slice and lightly toast the cut side of the ciabatta rolls.
Grill or pan fry the burgers until cooked through, about 3-5 minutes per side. Place a slice of provolone cheese on each burger and allow to slightly melt.
Serve the burgers on the ciabatta rolls, spoon sauce over each burger and enjoy!


There aren't enough food, service, value or atmosphere ratings for NYF, Canada yet. Be one of the first to write a review!
This is one of the places where you get your orders right away. I appreciate the fast service but fries are a bit overcooked.
Unpleasant experience, found a long black hair in an overpriced Fries bucket. No need to elaborate on service and quality of food etc. Will definitely not return.
Had a good chicken burger. Lots of toppings, and good service. That being said, I still thing that Big Smoke serves a better chicken burger.
Their fries are lower in transfat than other places that serve fries but their cheese sauce is a little annoying. I like cheese but their sauce is a little too mucky. It tastes okay though. Not bad.
Just fries, but good fries.
The new poutine was way too spicy for my liking and I did not really enjoy it. the poutine with the beef added was really yummy though. The poutines are a meal in themselves, you will not need anything else to go with them.
The quality of these franchised fries from location to location is petty much consistently excellent ! This particular location does not disappoint!

Q: Is it possible in django forms to leave Filefield empty? I am defining a Form class which has a filefield and is not mandatory to add a file to it...but whenever i do not provide  a file the form is invalid....so is there any way by which i can make it optional for user to add a file or not???

A: Yes, it is definitely possible, so check if you have required=False.
Quoting from documentation for django 1.4: "By default, each Field class assumes the value is required, so if you pass an empty value -- either None or the empty string ("") -- then clean() will raise a ValidationError exception:" ( https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/forms/fields/#required )

A: Given that you are basing your form on a model, what you want is Field.blank - this allows a field to be blank. (Potentially you will also want Field.null too, which allows a blank value to be recorded as null in the database).
x = FileField(..., blank=True, null=True)

A: forms.py
myfile = forms.FileField(required=False)

This is the last year for the Harley-Davidson V-Rod line, so if you want a new one, it's time to act. The V-Rod Muscle features lots of polished aluminum and satin chrome, giving it the most contemporary look of any Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
Powering the V-Rod Muscle is the liquid-cooled, DOHC motor that was designed in conjunction with Porsche. It's high-revving for a Harley-Davidson, and definitely puts out good power.
With forward foot controls and drag bars, your profile is aggressive, and definitely designed for short, fast hops rather than long rides. The V-Rod Muscle is power-cruiser defined.


Wisdom Tooth Extractions in Effingham IL are relatively common procedures. These molars come in later than any of the other teeth, and many mouths simply don't have enough room for them. The teeth often are angled or even nearly sideways before they start to move toward the gum surface, which can be seen on dental X-rays. Dentists want to remove those impacted teeth before they start pushing other teeth out of alignment.
The dentist will probably place sutures to close the wounds after the extraction. The sutures will be removed by the dentist after a week or so, but they may come loose before that. This shouldn't be a problem as long as the patient treats the area gently.
Patients naturally want to know strategies for quick healing after wisdom Tooth Extractions in Effingham IL. Those teeth are large and leave significant wounds behind. It's crucial for the blood clot to stay in place or the socket be exposed to air and dry out, creating a very painful condition. That means there should be no suction in the mouth during the healing process, which prohibits using a straw, sucking on an ice pop or smoking a cigarette.
The dentist may prescribe a short course of prescription pain medication that the patient can take as needed. Antibiotics also may be advisable to prevent infection. The patient should be gentle about brushing teeth at the back of the mouth. Patients are typically sent home with a device to help them rinse the wound areas. Within a day or two, the patient can begin using a saltwater rinse, which promotes healing. It takes time for new gum tissue to gradually grow and fill in this area.
Vigorous exercise should be avoided for the first week, as that can dislodge the blood clots. The patient probably won't feel like it for the first couple of days anyway. At the follow-up appointment to have sutures removed, a dentist at a facility such as The Center for Jaw and Facial Surgery will give the patient any further instructions.

Since leaving StinkBugLand, aka Ohio, our camping fortunes have greatly improved. We wandered across the border into Virginia, and holed up for three nights at Stony Fork Campground in the Jefferson National Forest. A green shady (mostly) quiet oasis. After just a few days on the road, we were already mighty tired of peering through the windshield. A few days in the woods were exactly what we needed.
Sadly, I don't have photos of this campsite, due to my own incompetence and lack of understanding between the relationship of my Android photos, Google photos, WordPress, and (perhaps) Windows 10. Stuff I thought was uploaded has disappeared. Oh well. Wait, John had one – here it is. We strapped on our hiking boots and hit the Seven Sisters Trail for some much needed exercise. Although big panoramic views were blocked by the trees, we enjoyed the ascent and stroll along a winding ridge, up to an elevation of just over 3300′. Happy feet! Some of you readers may have seen a Facebook post from this location, where I mentioned my displeasure with one aspect of this campsite. In a National Forest campground, the policy apparently is that camp hosts MUST blow leaves from the streets using. While this was roundly discussed on the FB pages, I still am amazed at this policy. To blow leaves off the streets in the forest seems stupid and needlessly disrespectful of the quiet nature of camping in the woods. The arguments about safety, potential lawsuits, and the beauty of a pristine setting unsullied by leaves on the street just don't cut it with me. It's a Forest! Leaves fall. Let the wind push them around, but leave the gas-powered blowers off.
After two days of sitting in the woods, we decided to venture into the nearest town for a meander, and to gather a few supplies.First, we headed to the Walker Mountain Lookout, where we paid $6 to climb a tower a few hundred feet up into the wind. The views up there were incredible, although the wind velocity made me a bit uneasy. I could imagine myself sailing over the fence like a Yugo over the Mackinac Bridge. On into the town of Wytheville (pronounced Withville), we went. Of course, that meant a stop for a hotdog at historic Skeeter's (over 9 million hotdogs sold!). While perched at the lunchcounter enjoying our hotdogs, we learned that the Skeeter's building was the childhood home of Edith Wilson, the second wife of President Woodrow Wilson. In fact, next door was the Edith Wilson Museum. Of course, we had to go in, where we were greeted by one of the most enthusiastic, theatrical volunteer docents we have ever met. We watched the ten minute film, explored the artifacts, and learned a bit about the only First Lady ever to come from Appalachia. It was a quality afternoon.
Next up is Jordan Lake Recreation Area in Pittsboro NC, where we once again joined up with a gang of folks with T@DAs and T@Bs for a few nights. We were impressed with the quality of the campground at Jordan Lake, a State Park. We had a huge site with our own private little water's edge sitting area. Most of our friends were all in the electric/water sites, while we chose a site in the rustic area, relying on our solar panels to keep the lights on and refrigerator running. With just a few tent campers for neighbors, it was calm and beautiful. We did the usual catching up with old friends – sharing potluck breakfasts and happy hours. Here's a photo of our hostess Jen with her 'Easy Bake Oven' – a propane campstove/oven combination. John and I laughed about how shiny and undented it was, knowing that if it were ours, it surely wouldn't be so pristine! A few other folks brought bikes, so we wandered off on Saturday morning for a 30-mile roll. Perfect weather and a lively pace made it a great ride. We met lots new friends, and picked up info on a few promising-sounding campgrounds for future visits. We find that folks camping in small trailers like us are an agreeable and friendly group, and we've made many real friends among them.
Now it's Sunday afternoon, and nearly all the other campers have left, headed toward home and Monday workdays. We're here for one more night, then we're going to move on to nearby Raleigh to explore the state Capitol, and nose around a city that's new to both of us. After that, we're pointed to Asheville, southern NC, then on toward Atlanta.
Hoping for better luck with photos and technology!

Sounds fun! Thanks for sharing. I love the trailer by the way, looks awesome!
Thanks! We love our camper – it has served us well for many miles in the past five years.
That lakeside campsite does look inviting!
Hi Sylvia. Glad that you are finally able to connect up to the blog!
We have been fortunate to have scored several great campsites so far this trip. Although I don't like to actually swim or play in the water, I sure do like to be perched next to it.
Always love reading your blog and have used it to plan much of our camping for our trip this winter to TX,NM,AZ & Southern California. New purchase this year, solar panels(yay) can't wait to do a little more boondocking to try them out.
Hey thanks, Hobien. Maybe our paths will cross this winter sometime, as well be wandering the same area.
You'll love the freedom of having solar, especially in the Southwest. There are so many great places to camp, and the wide open spaces make solar the perfect choice for power. Right now, were struggling with our solar – even though we've had lots of bright, sunny days, we've been in heavily forested sites, so we've been able to get just an hour or two of low, filtered sunlight. Enough to keep the lights on, but we've shut down our refrigerator for now, and are living out of the cooler. Good enough!
Great photos, if you don't count that grinning hippie with the weird camp stove. I think your Jordan Lake campsite was one of the prettiest I've seen. Stony Fork looks amazing too!
You've got so much great camping near you, Jen. Instead is nice too, but tiny sites. Other than airport noise, it's pretty quiet.
Thanks for all the work you put into the JLJ. It rocked.
See you down the road in the solar sites.
I've heard great things about biking in Asheville if you like MOUNTAINS! You find such interesting places with such beautiful views. Love reading about your adventures. Keep the stories coming!
The mountain biking in Asheville is way above our capabilities, but we will always try to find some fun back roads and paths to ride. But you won't see the likes of us on any of the big single-track stuff!
Ha! Makes me laugh to even think about it, Alison. Thanks for your note.
Hi Robin. We went to Biltmore one other time when we were here, so it's not on the agenda this time. It's quite a fantastic place.
It's definitely at the top of my bucket list.
Love your posts! We camped at Powhatan Recreational Center outside of Asheville and loved it! The arboretum next door was lovely! We're enjoying NS–at a national park now that is super!
Can't wait to hear your camping stories. Think about you all the time, so we're happy to hear it's all going well for you.
We love Powhatan – only been there one time, but it's a great campground in a super location. We've gotten brewery tips from everyone, so we're looking forward to exploring new sights.
I really like the idea of the propane stove/oven combination, I've never seen one and I think that it would be a handy thing for me to have.
I'm glad that you found quieter campgrounds, and prettier ones at that. I'm with you, I see no reason to ruin people's camping experience by using a gas powered leaf blower to clear the roads of fallen leaves. I hate those things with a passion, I'd better be careful not to camp in a campground where they're used, or my camping time may become jail time.
Loved the views, you're not missing much by being down south this fall, I'm afraid that the fall colors here are going to be a dud.
Hi Jerry. The oven is pretty slick. We wouldn't use it much, but our friends love having it. Many of our camping buddies are into cast-iron Dutch oven cooking. You can get wonderful oven results, but it takes a bit of elbow grease and trial and error to get things right.
I was amazed about the leaf blower controversy. It never occurred to me that so many folks were accepting of it. I'll go down swinging in that issue, I'm afraid.
No fall colors here in North Carolina yet either, although I think it's a bit early. It's been as dry here as at home, so we're seeing lots of crispy downed leaves. Everything looks so tired!
We'll move into a bit of elevation later this week, so we're hoping for a positive change in the climate.
Hi Mary. Thanks for checking in. We head to the southwest every winter, so we sure have some favorite spots. We don't spend much more than four or five days in any given place though, so a place that you might want to spend a month is probably different than someplace we love for a few days or a week.
Louisiana is one state that we've not visited extensively, although we've stayed in a few State Parks, all in the southernmost area, Fontainebleu SP was our jumping off point to explore New Orleans. For long-term stays, I don't think it would be a great choice.
We've camped at lots of state parks in AZ and NM, most of which we have enjoyed. Your choice of where to stay will probably be determined, in part, by when you go. Santa Fe and the Grand Canyon are at significant elevation, and you'll likely have snow and/or freezing temps in January-March, although there are lots of dry, sunny days. If you stay toward the south, this won't be issue. There are some great National Forest CGs around here, and these are always our first choice. More rustic facilities might not appeal to you.
At the top of the blog page is a search box. If you put in the state you're looking for, it will hopefully bring up posts from those areas. I'm always trying to get better at tagging locations to make the blog a better resource.
It's a great area for winter escapes. I'd be happy to answer any specific questions about areas, if you'd like.
I noticed that I really didn't answer your question about the cold. We have winterized on the fly if it gets too cold. We just can't use the toilet or run water, but otherwise it's no different. We always use water from a campground pump for drinking, anyway. Our system is pretty simple, and John can winterize and de-winterize without too much problem, although de-winterize does involve flushing the system.
If temps are just going to dip into the mid to high 30s at night, we don't worry too much. We disconnect our hose from a water source, since a frozen hose is a big pain. We will open the cupboard doors where our pipes run (under the sink) and keep our bathroom door propped open, so that those areas will get a bit of warmth from the furnace or our little space heater.
So far, knock on wood, we haven't had any big problems.

Akon to build Akon city in Uganda by 2036
US hip hop star Akon has said during his recent trip to Uganda that he will be building a city in that country called the Akon City.
The government of Uganda has already agreed to allocate him land of the size of 1 square mile.
A statement from State House said the president had a fruitful meeting with the Senegalese singer as they discussed a number of investment opportunities in Uganda.
"During the meeting at the president's countryside home Rwakitura in Kiruhura district, attended by the First Lady Janet Museveni and the Minister of Education and Sports, the president shared with guests many areas of interest and value of the untapped natural resources for investment in the country; many of them with rare natural scenery on the globe," the statement said.
"The president told the investor that to put investment interests in motion in a short period, government would spot land for him preferably in central region districts or Kalangala district islands," the statement added.
AKoin currency
The city will operate on AKoin currency, a stellar-based cryptocurrency.

President of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni last week spoke highly of Akon as he welcomed him to his office.
The two held discussions with Museveni saying he told AKon and "his wife that Uganda is the best tourism destination, known for its fantastic weather, considering that we are right on the Equator but with a high altitude. This is unique! There are only about two other places gifted that much."
Museveni said Akon and his wife came to "Uganda in search of business opportunities in a number of sectors like energy, tourism, and infrastructure development. I am happy to engage in such a discussion that will uplift our people and Africa at large."

According to Uganda's government Akon expressed interest to invest in solar energy, tourism sectors and infrastructure development areas.
"He said he has also identified investment strategies in some other Africa citing Kenya, Congo Brazzaville."
Senegal deal
Last year the hip hop star announced that a deal to have him build a similar city in Senegal had been finalized.
Just finalized the agreement for AKON CITY in Senegal. Looking forward to hosting you there in the future pic.twitter.com/dsoYpmjnpf
— AKON (@Akon) January 13, 2020
Akon's family originally hails from Senegal and in 2018 he announced plans to build the city in the West African nation where only a new cryptocurrency named after himself – called Akoin will be used.
At the time Akon said the "crypto city" in Senegal will portray "a real-life Wakanda" just like the fictional land of Wakanda in Marvel's Black Panther.
Akon's team said has has been given 2,000 acres of land by the President of Senegal to build the city.

NOTE TO READERS: There are several noticeable discrepancies when the Testimony of Lizzie Coles is compared with a 1906 newspaper interview with Lizzie Coles' father, and other document ation about the Coles family history, the 2x2 church and workers. Details are provided in the Footnotes.
Also Known As "Lizzie" and "Lily"
Born April 5, 1878, Cornwall, England - Died July 31, 1946, Buried in Rose City Cemetery, Portland, Oregon
Mary Elizabeth Coles: born April 5, 1878, Cornwall, England. It is not known when the family moved from Cornwall to London. What is known, is that her parents, John and Mary Coles moved into a two or three story brown house in a residential part of London, very near to the slums in which John preached. You see, he felt it was his calling from God to work among London's poor slum dwellers to give them a little light in their otherwise bleak lives. Mary, or Lizzie as they called her, was the eldest daughter in a family of eleven children.
Her brother, Charles, was one year older than she was, and almost yearly, came nine other boys and girls. Three of them died in infancy of diphtheria. A stray kitten, befriended by the children, must have been a carrier, at least that is what they thought was the cause. While Lizzie's parents attended the funeral of two of the little ones, Trilby, the lovely baby of the family died.
Lizzie was at home with Trilby when she died. She and Charles had the heartbreaking task of meeting the sorrowing parents at the door to break the news as they returned from the funeral of the two other little ones. This terrible tragedy bit deeply into Lizzie and Charles' hearts and minds. It was at this time that Charles purposed to become a minister, which he eventually did. Lizzie threw herself into helping her father in his mission work.
The Mission Hall was located right in the slums. The London City Missionary Society paid John Coles' salary to him. It was not likely a large salary, but sufficient for the needs of the growing family. It must also have provided a few luxuries, as Lizzie had a piano. Once a week she escaped from the everlasting household chores and rode across London in a double decker omnibus, tightly clutching her bus fare in one small hand, and her lesson money in the other.
One day every week, the members of the Mission Hall supplied a big hot meal free to the poor down-and-outers. She helped the ladies scrub and cut up the vegetables--carrots, onions, leeks, turnips, etc. and also cut up a quarter of beef, which was donated by some wealthy patron. Barley, salt and pepper were added; then it simmered all day in big copper boilers and was doled out to the hungry parents and children. "Poor kiddies" she would say; but it was probably the best meal for them for a whole week! When their tummies were warmed and filled, John Coles would preach to them. Lizzie would play the little pump organ in those services and helped with the singing. She was her Father's right hand 'man'.
Since she was needed at home to help her weary mother, she left the London Compulsory School for Girls at the tender age of fourteen, as she had completed all the requirements for girls: reading, writing, arithmetic, some French, some sewing, and of course, her music. Boys in those days fared better. Somehow two of her brothers, Alf and Tom, became proficient calligraphers, whose work was presented to King George at his coronation. It was a heavily illuminated something or other, and who knows, it may still be among that sort of momento in one of the palaces. These two brothers, as well as another named Jim, lost their lives in the World War One.
Now, we come to the turn of the twentieth century...One bleak, wet day, four strangers knocked at John Coles' rectory door, asking permission to use the Mission Hall for a few weeks in order to have some gospel meetings. These workers were George Walker, William Irvine, Willie Weir and Eddie Cooney [Footnote 1]. Most of them were fresh over from Ireland. He explained that he couldn't pay them any salary, and they stated that Jesus didn't get a salary, and they didn't expect one either. He told them the congregation was poor and not much in the collection plate, so they told him they didn't take up a collection. He said they were welcome to use the hall.
Lizzie offered to play the organ for their nightly services and they accepted. She had never heard such preaching and she was spellbound! Her father, of course, was becoming more and more irritated as their message was slowly being brought home. The difference between his paid ministry and the New Testament Ministry was made so clear. We don't know how long it was before he asked them to leave, but they asked to have one more meeting so they could inform those who were coming, and he granted that wish. They tested that meeting and Lizzie was the only one who saw the difference and had the courage to make her choice. Naturally, her father was furious. His authority over his daughter was irrevocably challenged and his pride was hurt before his whole congregation. In a moment of anger, he ordered her to leave and not ever come back. This date was May 1, 1899; she had turned 21 years of age on April 5 that same year. [Note: other documents prove 1899 to be incorrect]
Where could she flee to? What could she do? She had not been prepared under his roof for any suitable career. She wasn't interested in marriage; she had seen enough struggles in her parent's home with the care of one baby after another and she didn't want that. Heartsick, but knowing her choice was the right one, she fled across London to where Bill and Maggie Carroll [Footnote 2] were having gospel meetings in an old used store building. They had heard the gospel in Ireland, and were enthusiastically carrying it to England, in spite of the fact that they were already married and had a baby, May, [Footnote 3A] when they heard and accepted the gospel. They received Lizzie, comforted her, and suggested that she stay and help them with the meetings. She did that, helping also with the baby and inviting people in the district to the gospel meetings.
They all lived in the upstairs of the building and had meetings downstairs. It was during this time that the baby became very ill. The drafty storeroom and not enough nourishing food aggravated the situation. She watched Bill and Maggie arrive at the terrible decision to part with their little May in order to continue with the work. They took her home to Ireland to be raised by Mrs. Carroll. One can imagine the impression this made on Lizzie Coles! If these sensitive people could put the work of the gospel even before their own little one, how could she withhold her life from this work? It was arranged for her to join Bill's sister, May Carroll to be her companion [Footnote 3B].
May Carroll had begun in the work when she was eighteen [Footnote 4] and couldn't have been much older at this time. The two girls preached in the villages of Ireland. They visited the village folk on bicycles. Sometimes they were received but at other times potatoes or clumps of dirt thrown at them pelted them! They attended a convention at Crocknacrieve [Footnote 5]. This was one of the very of earliest conventions and lasted longer than ours. At this convention, an appeal was made for workers to go to America and Lizzie volunteered.
According to an old letter from George Walker, she and two other girls plus five brothers, who were Jack Jackson, Dave Lyness, Jim Jardine, Frank Scott, Willie Weir and Bella Cook and one unnamed Sister sailed for New York in December 1904. In a visit with Jack Jackson years later, Jack told us a little of that voyage, as he was one of the brothers on that ship. They traveled those seasick days in third class compartments and Jack was the only one of the eight who did not get seasick. He would go to the cracker barrel down in the hold and being tall with long arms, could reach over the others, getting handfuls of crackers which he distributed to the others. [Footnote 6]
Lizzie had been given a bag of oranges at their departure, which she shared with them all. In the course of time they arrived at New York and were met by Jack Carroll and George Walker [Footnote 7] and taken to a humble home of an Irish couple who had come to America to have a home for the workers. The one bedroom was given to the sisters; some of the brothers slept in the front room while the couple slept on the kitchen floor. The other brothers went to a local lodging house for the next few nights. They divided their belongings among them all and set off with brave hearts to preach the gospel.
Each pair of workers had equal share of what monies and hymnbooks they had. In this way, the gospel began to be published on the eastern states and Canada. Lizzie and her two companions preached the gospel in New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, but her companions eventually left the work because of the hardships. She loved it; the thrill of the work never left her. Sometimes they slept in schoolhouses they preached in, but they had people to preach to. They didn't have much money but had a whole lot of zeal! She was never very strong and her health was taxed beyond its limits.
One night, after a meeting, she collapsed and the town doctor was called. He had been expecting a call at any time, as he had been listening and watching nightly outside the building. He hadn't wanted to come in to listen. After he examined her, he prescribed complete rest and a change of lifestyle. (A later test proved she had tuberculosis) Perhaps a farm where she could have nourishing milk and eggs and vegetables and not to preach until she was in better health. Well, there were no professing farmers yet! Upon the advice of George Walker, she was sent to a Mennonite collective farm. That didn't work out well, though, as there were about 20 marriageable young men, and although she was ill, she was still young and pretty. She asked George Walker for a change and several other places were tried, but none of them proved successful. Then the Hawkins family of Baltimore heard the gospel and embraced it. They opened their hearts and home to the workers.
Immediately, they took in Lizzie, where, at last, she could find peace and rest. However long she stayed there, we do not know; we only know she did not recover so the workers felt she should return to England. Her father met her at the dock with this unkind remark "I knew you'd come crawling back to me." Although she stayed with him for a while, she was not welcomed there. Now, the Truth was new in those parts and no one seemed to know what to do with a returning sick warrior, so they did nothing. None of the friends reached out to contact her--they didn't seem to understand that she was too sick to go to meetings and she crawled into herself and tried to recoup her strength as best she could.
Recovery was slow and years passed. Little by little she found means to support herself. She worked as a typist. She also worked for a time in a home for retarded girls, but that was hardly a cheerful occupation. Eventually she did what many 'gentry reared' Englishwomen did - become a 'nanny' to wealthy gentry needing a traveling companion for their children. In their employ, she traveled to France, Switzerland, etc. It was a safe, pleasant life. She found that she was much in demand, for she could teach the children French, music, and most importantly, manners.
1914: The storm clouds were gathering over Europe and World War One began. Lizzie, in the company of Dr. and Mrs. Ainsworth and their little daughter, sailed though the Mediterranean Sea to India, arriving in Bombay.
She was entranced with the color, the people, the poverty, the riches, and animals roaming the streets, India's vastness. She wondered if the gospel could ever find inroads into this caste-shackled land? It wasn't very long until she was introduced to Lt. Charles Waddingham, band Master with the 8th Gurka Rifles Regiment. He seemed very debonair to her in his crisp uniform accompanied by his dog, an Airedale named Roger. Within three months they were married. Both were 30 years of age (Footnote 8]. Their interests were compatible, and they shared a mutual love of music. She would accompany him as he played his woodwind instruments: clarinet, saxophone, etc. They seemed to be very happy those first years in India. In 1916, Lizzie returned to London to give birth to her first born, John.
On July 9, 1916, an air raid forced the family down to the cellar for safety. An incendiary bomb dropped on the house, going all the way down to the cellar, but didn't explode. John was born that night! Two years later, on June 1, 1918, Helen was born in Mussouri, India. A midwife called 'Lovely Mary,' who was happier and more skillful when she was slightly intoxicated, delivered her! In that bungalow, the crest of Mt. Everest could be seen against the sky.
Charles sent Lizzie up to the beautiful cool station of Shillong in Assam, India, and that was where Jean was born. This place was over 7000 feet elevation, and there was a Hill Station Hospital there. In 1921 or 1922, Charles and Lizzie decided to leave India and return to England. Charles had spent 19 long years living in various parts of India and was fluent in the language. Lizzie had been there 8 years, and they had taught the children a little bit of Hindi, mostly nursery rhymes, such as Little Jack Horner and Humpty Dumpty, which we could rattle off easily in Hindustani.
Upon returning to London, the War was finished, but so was the economy and the people were bitter and depressed. It didn't take them long to strike out for a more congenial environment: Canada. Already, Lizzie's brother, Laurence [Footnote 7] and sister Lou, and their families were living in British Columbia*. Charles and Lizzie and the children arrived in Canada at the port of Halifax in the Province of Ontario, (Note: Ontario should be Nova Scotia) and soon Charles got a job as the Leader of the City band.
Those days any city of any size had a band. He also was a teacher of woodwind instruments in the college music department. They had arrived in the dead of winter, which meant in Eastern Canada, ice, snow and heavy winter clothing, and a complete lifestyle change for all the family. In India, though they were not wealthy, Lizzie managed a household of a minimum of 5 servants--one to cook, one to wash up after the cook; one to care for the horses, one to do the laundry, another to cut the grass, another to clean the house, etc, etc. Each servant had to have his own 'servant' to do the menial jobs! This was the caste system, and was routine. In Canada, Lizzie was plunged into doing the whole herself under great odds, with 3 small children and her own poor health. Charles was an impeccable Englishman, and expected three meals a day punctually served, complete with linen dinner napkins. Lizzie was often in tears.
After a couple years of that, they journeyed across Canada, 5 days and 4 nights by train to Vancouver, B.C. There they lived in a nice little house within walking distance to Stanley School. John and Helen had already taught Jean to read so she began in second grade. More disciplined than schools are now, they marched in single file into the classrooms, with one hand behind their back while at their desks, unless required for handling the books or writing!
The Depression was slowly creeping across Canada, indeed the whole world, and in order to augment their income, Charles and Lizzie played in the orchestra pit in the old silent movie house. Lizzie played theatre organ, while Charles doubled on clarinet, sax, etc. They had a standard repertoire of sheet music for cowboy movies and other thrillers: well known, dog-eared pieces of music to accompany Douglas Fairbanks Sr. and Mary Pickford. Their kids got in free every Saturday afternoon.
Inevitably, they turned their thoughts toward the United States, and November 11, 1927 they moved to Longview, Washington, just as the great Depression hit in full force! Charles was lucky to get a job at Longbell Lumber Co. at four dollars a day, and this job lasted until the end of the Depression. As the country's economy slowly improved, so did theirs. About 1931 they moved to Ontario, Oregon, on the Idaho border, which is about 2100 feet above sea level, and Lizzie's heart reacted badly to the elevation change. From that time on she became weaker and weaker, but they stayed there for four years. By the summer of 1934, John had graduated from High School, and Helen completed her sophomore year and Jean her freshman year.
The family doctor told them that Lizzie should be moved to sea level if she were to regain any health at all. Charles was not happy with this diagnosis, but Lizzie and the three children arranged to spend the summer in Portland, hoping the change would do her good. She had a little money left to her when her father died. The four of them rented an apartment near the Park across the street from the Portland Arts Museum. She enrolled the three children in summer art classes.
Slowly, Lizzie regained a little strength and health. One day, while shopping in downtown Portland, she engaged in a conversation, which would change the direction of our lives. She and a lady shopper were talking, and as Lizzie often did, began talking about God having a perfect Way in the world. The lady said, "You know, I think you'd be interested in my sister's faith. I don't go in for it myself, but it sounds like you might be!" She also said that she would send her sister to visit her. Early the next morning, a Friday at about 7:30 A.M., one of the friends named Katy White came to see them on the way to work.
She said she would arrange transportation for them to get to Gospel meeting that evening, if she would like to go. Lizzie said she would like to, but wanted to know who were the names of the Workers. Hugh Matthews and Allen Stephens didn't sound familiar, so she asked if there were any Carroll's or George Walker. "Oh yes", Katy said.
All that day Lizzie was very moved, sometimes happy and sometimes apprehensive. She took the time to tell the children once again of her years in the work and asked them to listen very, very carefully when they went to the meeting. John elected to remain at home, and she didn't force the issue, but she, Helen and Jean went to the meeting. They were taken to a tent meeting in Milwaukee, a suburb of Portland.
It was nearing the close of the mission and Hugh Matthews spoke that night on the crucifixion of Christ. The girls had never before heard any preaching like it. In closing the meeting, he tested it, and both girls stood to their feet, while Lizzie quietly rededicated her life to Jesus. Hugh asked the girls to put their decision into words and Jean stumblingly said, "I want Jesus to become my King, as well as my Savior." At last, Lizzie became reunited with the Great Family from which she had become separated, in those early days in London.
Well, she was never to be separated again! She lived twelve years to the day, with full and sweet fellowship with the friends in Portland. The next day Hugh came to see them, and he told Lizzie that he had recognized her the minute she came into the tent! He had never forgotten her from those early days in Ireland at the turn of the century. They had a very happy summer--wonderful in every way, but at the end Charles sent for them to return to Ontario to go to school. Some very hard times followed and Charles was very angry with Lizzie, and furious with the girls for accepting "Their Mother's Religion."
Those were very hard years, but years in which they learned to trust in the everlasting strong arms of a Heavenly Father, who was always there to sustain. The Bible became real and living and vital, and the meetings were sweet and nourishing. Lizzie was never strong after that, but was just able to care for the house and get to meetings until the day she died.
TTT Editor's Note regarding the author of the above account: John VanDenBerg, who currently (2009) labors on the Workers staff of California is the Grandson of Elizabeth Coles. He wrote the TTT Editor "the written account of Grandma's testimony was dictated by her to both of her daughters, my mother, Helen and my Aunt Jean."
1905 Workers List: John VanDenBerg also stated that Elizabeth Coles was also called both Lizzie and Lily. The 1905 Workers List shows Lily Coles entering the work in 1903.
NOTE TO READERS: There are several discrepancies apparent when this story is compared with other well known, recognized, documented facts about the Coles family history, the 2x2 church and workers. See Footnotes below for details.
DISCLAIMER: Please understand that the TTT Editor is NOT stating the Account reprinted above is false by any means, and is NOT attempting to belittle, disparage or discount the life or family of Mary Elizabeth Coles. The Editor's goal is to provide truth and accuracy in the area of 2x2 history. This Account is published on Nathan Barker's website "Topics in the Bible" and may cause some readers to be misled or to base conclusions on inaccurate information. Therefore, the TTT Editor found it expedient to publish this Account and to add Footnotes showing some details given in the Account are not consistent with other known documented facts, and allow the reader to choose what they wish to believe concerning the matter. The Editor suggests these discrepancies are probably due to the Author of the Elizabeth Coles' Account estimating or incorrectly recalling some dates; or possibly the typist or note taker made some inadvertent scriveners errors.
Revised April 21, 2002
1. There is a discrepancy in the year (1899), when the four workers allegedly came to Rector Coles' door. According to the 1905 Workers List, (the earliest Workers List presently found in existence), only two of these four men were preaching at that time. George Walker went in the work in 1899, and Wm. Irvine was preaching for the Faith Mission until 1901. Ed Cooney didn't enter the work until 1901, and Willie Weir didn't go in the work until 1903. Yet this account states Lizzie Coles professed through these four men on May 1, 1899. It wasn't until October, 1899 that The Bicycle Boys (George Walker was one of them) ventured to Scotland on their FIRST experimental expedition.
2. There is an unaccounted 2-3-year period of time that elapsed from the time Lizzie's Father kicked her out of her home until she went to live with the Carrolls. The Coles Account gives the impression that Lizzie fled immediately to the home of Bill and Maggie Carrolls on May 1, 1899, the very night her father turned her out of his home. This conflicts with the date Bill and Maggie Carroll were in the work in England when Lizzie Coles stayed with them and helped take care of their baby daughter.
According to the 1905 Workers List, Bill and Mrs. Carroll didn't go in the work until 1903. In addition, Bill Carroll and Maggie Hastings did not marry until June, 1901, two years AFTER Lizzie Coles allegedly went to live with them. They were married in the Church of Ireland in 1901, with Jack Carroll and May Carroll being their Best Man and Maid of Honor. Maggie became pregnant two months after they married, and May was born 11 months later in May, 1902. Maggie was pregnant during the year 1901 and part of 1902, and unsuitable to be a work at that time.
Ed Cooney attended the Carroll's wedding in 1901, and when he left their wedding, he became a worker. It's a well known documented fact that Cooney entered the work in 1901. See Patricia Roberts book: The Life and Ministry of Edward Cooney, pages 19-20. The Irish Census taken on March 31, 1901 showed William (Bill) Charles Carroll (not married), his mother, Cecelia, and his sister Cecelia Primrose living at House 1 in Rahinstown, Co. Meath, Ireland.
On the other hand, in June, 1906, Lizzie Coles' father told the Morning Leader reporter: "Three years ago...Mr. Irwin [Irvine], Mr. Cooney and five others held meetings at my mission hall under the auspices of the London City Mission." "Three years ago" would be 1903--not 1899. It appears the year 1899 in the above account is incorrect, and it is far more likely that Lizzie professed in 1903.
3A. There is a discrepancy in the date of birth of Bill and Maggie Carroll's baby daughter, May. By this Account, she was already born in 1899, and Lizzie Coles took care of her. However, her tombstone records that she was born on May 31, 1902 (View photo of tombstone); and according to the Hymn Author List prepared by workers and friends, she was born in 1902 in Ireland. The baby, May, would later marry Adolphus ("Dolph") Shultz, and reside in Australia. May wrote some of the hymns in Hymns Old & New. The Review of Hymns (for 1951 Edition) states: "Mrs. May Shultz (nee Carroll) of Melbourne (Australia) has written a great many hymns. From her collection we have the following: Nos. 203, 219, 280 and 290. Some of her hymns make very nice solos, but, as already mentioned these are not included."
3B. 1905 Workers List: The 1905 Workers List shows Lily Coles entering the work in 1903. Grandson, John VanDenBerg, also stated that Elizabeth Coles was also called both Lizzie and Lily.
4. Mary (May) Georgina Carroll (sister of Bill Carroll) was born September 2, 1879 at Newtown, Moynalty, Kells, Co. Meath, Ireland. She became a Pilgrim Worker for the Faith Mission when she was 20 years old (not 18 yrs old, as stated in Coles Account above), according to the Impartial Reporter Impartial Reporter January 15, 1903. Eddie Cooney wrote a letter to Alice Flett: "He (Wm.Irvine) was at that time Pilgrim Irvine, a preacher in The Faith Mission into which May Carroll entered and in which she preached for some time AFTER being won to Christ by William Irvine." May Carroll spent three years preaching as a Pilgrim with Faith Mission, and left when she was age 24 in 1903. View Photo of May Carroll.
Miss Tillie Thompson, Secretary for The Faith Mission, wrote: "Mae Carroll joined The Faith Mission on October 11, 1899, and it is intimated in our magazine that she left in November, 1903, and 'joined Mr. Irvine's band of workers.' We can find no record that any other members of the Carroll family were in The Faith Mission." (Letter to Cherie Kropp dated October 30, 1991). May Carroll's name appears for first time on their 14th Annual Staff of Workers List, having joined with Faith Mission on October 11, 1899 (See FM Periodical: Bright Words, Nov/Dec, 1900). So if Lizzie Coles and May Carroll were companions in Ireland in 1900, did Lizzie become a Faith Mission worker also?? If so, why isn't her name shown on the Faith Mission Workers Lists, which they published bi-monthly?
5. The Account states May Carroll and Lizzie Coles attended a convention at Crocknacrieve, one of the earliest conventions. According to other sources the FIRST convention ever held at this location in Ireland was in September, 1904: "John West, Crocknacrieve, Ballinamallard, near Enniskillen, gave his premises for a Convention that year. William Irvine had newly returned from the United States; and was in good form." (From John Long's Journal). The Enniskillen Newspaper, named The Impartial Reporter, reported details about the convention (Impartial Reporter, September 29, 1904, October 27, 1904.
6. The letter from George Walker mentioned in this Account concurs with a document titled "George Walker's Early Days in America--as related on Monday, October 29,1979," in that three of the men's names for those who arrived in America in December, 1904; which stated: "In May 1904, Jack Carroll, Sarah Rogers, Jean Weir, and several others arrived in this country, and again in Dec. 1904, a group including Jack Jackson. Willie Weir, Dave Linus (should be Lyness), and others came." A copy of this letter would be welcome.
According to the records of the American Family Immigration History Center at Ellis Island at: http://www.ellisisland.org , there was a female passenger listed as Lizzie M. Coles, 26 years of age, Single, Servant, Irish; Residence, Norfolk; Departing Nov. 30, 1904 on the Ship Oceanic, from Liverpool, England, U.K. Her age fits perfectly with her birth day given in the this account (1904 minus 26 years = 1878). This passenger arrival date of December 8, 1904, is within one day of Jack Jackson's statement regarding a group of workers who departed from Liverpool, England in November, 1904 and arrived in New York on December 9, 1904: "It is a good while ago now that one morning towards the end of November, 1904, my companion and I were in the east of England and were preaching there...and a knock came on the door and a telegram came for me, "Be in Liverpool Tuesday and sail for New York Saturday. That was short notice....well we landed in New York on the 9th of December" (Jack Jackson at Freedom, NY Convention Notes November 14, 1960).
The eight workers on the Passenger List aboard the Ship Oceanic departing Nov. 30, 1904 from Liverpool, England, U.K. and arriving in New York on December 8, 1904 were:
John Jackson, 24 yrs of age, Single, Irish; Residence, Waltham
William Weir, 22 yrs of age, Single, Scotch; Residence, Chippenham
James Jardine, 20 yrs of age, Single, Scotch, Residence, Waltham
Bella Cooke, 23 yrs of age, Single, Irish, Residence, Norfolk
Emma Gill, 33 yrs of age, Single, Irish, Residence, Meath,
David Lynes, 26 yrs of age, Single, Irish, Residence, Chippenham (should be "Lyness") Manifest No. 0005
Francis (Frank) Scott, 20 yrs of age, Single, Irish, Residence, Waltham
Lizzie M. Coles, 26 years of age, Single, Irish, Residence, Norfolk
7. The Account erroneously gives Lizzie's brother's name as "Laurence Coles" who was already living in B.C. Canada. Reportedly, this brother's name was not Laurence, but was really Herbert John Coles. According to his granddaughter, Barbara O'Hagan, "I was surfing the internet to find out about my family tree. My maiden name was Coles. I read your account of Lizzie's life. A mistake was made in the names of the two who came to Canada before her (Lizzie). They lived in West Vancouver, B.C. Their names were Lou, as stated, and her brother whose name was Herbert John Coles (my grandfather). He has a son Herbert Laurence Coles who is still living in West Vancouver and is 86 years old and had nine children, of which 7 are still living, and also has 18 grandchildren spread around the world."
8. The Account states that after she went to India in 1914 she met and married Charles Waddingham and they "both were 30 years of age." However, in 1914 Lizzie would have been 36 years old--not 30.
Lizzie Coles Family:
Charles Alfred Waddingham (b. 4 Sep 1879, Hull, Yorkshire, England; d. 20 July 1971, Seattle, Washington U.S.)
Married on October 7, 1914 in Murree, Bengal, India
Maria (Mary) Elizabeth (Lizzie/Lily) Coles Waddingham (b. 5 April 1878, Liskeard, Cornwall, England; d. 31 July 1946, Portland, Multnomah, Oregon, U.S.)
John Alfred Waddingham (b. 9 July 1915; d. 19 Sept 1902)
Married Margaret Clark on October 25, 1904; married Catherine McLeod Nov. 19, 1942.
Helen Margaret Waddingham VanDenBerg (b. 1 June 1918; d. 25 May 2010)
Married Harold Lester VanDenBerg on Oct. 24, 1954
Jean Waddingham Day (b. 21 Feb 1920; d. 26 May 1983)
Married Richard Stanley Day on Dec 14, 1946
FIRST SISTER WORKERS: Some have alleged that Mrs. Bill (Maggie) Carroll was the first woman preacher, since this Account implies that she was preaching in 1899. However, the 1905 Workers List. shows she and her husband Bill both entered the work in 1903. It is also sometimes assumed from this Account that Lizzie Coles was in the work prior to 1900. The above discrepancies show that its highly unlikely that either of these women were sister workers in 1899.
The Morning Leader
Tramp Preachers' Defence
Decoying Girls Abroad Stoutly Denied.
NOTE: Wm. Irvine's name is often misspelled "Irwin" in newspaper accounts, and it in this one.
Some fresh light was thrown on the sect of Tramp Preachers yesterday, concerning whom several articles have recently appeared to these columns. The gentleman who volunteered the information was Mr. Coles of Leytonstone, a missionary belonging to the London City Mission, whose daughter has for three years been one of the "tramps." Mr. Coles himself is a devout believer in the Sect, and offered an emphatic defence of their methods.
At the outset he denied indignantly the charge that girls are decoyed away by the "Tramp Preachers," and cannot be heard from after. His own daughter, now in America, communicated regularly with him, giving full details of her life, and her accounts had been confirmed from an independent source.
By way of proof Mr. Coles placed a batch of the correspondence in the hands of the "Leader" representative, which showed the young lady to be in a happy frame of mind. Moreover, Mr. Coles stated that the girl has an uncle in the United States--a deacon of a church—who also reported favorably about her.
Indignant at the Allegation
Mr. Coles was indignant at the allegation that Mr. Irwin—one of the leaders of the sect—had declared himself to be "St. Paul the Second." Both Irwin and his fellow leader Cooney had stayed with him at his house in Leytonstone alone and he had apparently formed a big opinion of them.
"Three years ago," he continued, "Mr. Irwin, Mr. Cooney and five others held meetings at my mission hall under the auspices of the London City Mission. One of my parishioners had suggested it. He said that they would preach the gospel, and they did preach it. It was as a result of this three weeks' mission that my daughter joined them."
Mr. Coles gave some interesting details concerning the chief dramatis personae of the tramp preaching movement.
It was under the Rev. John McNeill, he said that Irwin was converted. He looked out on the big salaries of the Christian ministers, and came to the conclusion that the parsons taught one thing and followed another. He therefore, left a splendid situation in a large warehouse and started what he calls "following the Saviour in preaching the gospel."
That was about six years ago. He went to Ireland preaching and there came across Cooney, who was doing wonders in his father's drapery business.
"Here," said Mr. Coles, "are Irwin's own words spoken, with Cooney, in this very room. 'When,' said Irwin, 'I came across Cooney first he was a professed Christian man, and said he would work in business with all the zeal that he could command, and give the money that he could earn to help to carry on the work.'
Not Money, but Men
"Irwin replied, 'I don't want your money. I want you.' And from that time, Cooney felt, 'Well, here's a man of God.'
In that conviction, continued Mr. Coles, Cooney gave up his business, fell out with his family, and began preaching.
"Cooney is a gentleman, although he does go about in a flannel shirt and no collar; and he is a splendid fellow. You need only be with him for ten minutes to find him a man of God.
"As for the letter to the ministers on this subject in 'The Morning Leader,' it's only jealousy with these men. When they speak of the 36 persons who have been sent away, ask them if they have sent out 36 people to evangelise and preach the gospel! If the work was not of God, would these girls go?"
"They might," suggested the "Leader" representative.
"Ah, no," replied Mr. Coles.
"Where did the money come from for the movement?"
"Oh, then Irwin did take Cooney's money after all, or rather, he took Cooney and his money?"
"Cooney spent every farthing he had."
"And he shared in the money?"
Apostolic Distribution
"Yes. But perhaps this will help you to understand what is done. Two years ago they had a conference in Ireland at which my daughter was present. My daughter told me that they met according to the apostolic teaching in Acts. Everybody, whether he had much or little put it into the common stock: and then the total collection was distributed equally among those present.
"So that it may have been—mind you, I am not sure—that at that time Cooney brought in several thousand pounds." The conference then separated, each going to his or her duty. "That," said Mr. Coles, "is how they work."
Mr. Coles added some further details on the financial side. When, he said, they have been on a mission for three weeks, and are about to leave, they call their converts together and say, "Now we are sitting together at the Lord's table." They break the bread together, and then they will ask for financial assistance. They will address one of the convents thus: "Mr. Smith, you spend a shilling a week in tobacco. You'll have to give up smoking, and give the shilling to the Lord's work."
Mr. Smith does give up the money, and any more he can spare. The girls sent to America go about in pairs and support themselves in the way described. What the leaders of the movement say is that those people who can't collect money are failures.
Their position is: "We don't want money from the world or the devil, but from God's people who have been blessed under our work." "And that," said Mr. Coles, "is what we mean when we say that God will provide sustenance. I know one man who lost his arm while working on a railway, and he is so enamored of the work that he goes without dinner in order to be able to send the money on to the movement! And I know still another who often does the same thing."
The Late Night Meetings.
"What is the mystery about those secret meetings of the sect between ten o'clock and midnight?" asked the "Leader" representative.
"Oh! That's not true. Of course, the preachers say that Paul sat all night teaching and preaching to those who were willing to listen, and they do the same at the night meetings."
"Then, if that be all, why do girl converts blush and run away when questioned on the subject?"
Mr. Coles scratched his head. "I can't think that is so," was all he replied. "I believe these people," he added, "are perfectly pure and innocent. They follow the teachings of the Bible exactly."
"And you consider it practical Christianity to break up homes, and separate families in this way?"
"Their main teaching is the forsaking of mother, father, home, land, affluence—for Christ's sake."
In June, 1906, John Coles told the reporter: "Three years ago...Mr. Irwin, Mr. Cooney and five others held meetings at my mission hall under the auspices of the London City Mission." "Three years ago" would be 1903--not 1899.

My Dear Eddie [Cooney],
Was glad of your wee note received this morn. Intended writing you this week, as it has been on my mind to do so.
Lizzie Coles went to India as children's nurse with a family. Her people still live in London, but I do not know what part. No doubt I could find out if necessary. She had been nurse in several places previous to going away, and lived at home when out of a place, also for a short time before sailing. I heard this from my people some time ago. I may say they are much kinder to me. Most of their bitterness was due to Lizzie's methods in getting me away from home…
Yours in his Love and Care,
Maggie Argent

Q: Gnuplotting the sorted merge of two CSV files I am trying to merge and sort two CSV files skipping the first 8 rows.
I try to sort one of the files by the 36th column I use:
awk '(NR>8 ){print; }' Hight_5x5.csv | sort -nk36

and to merge the two files:
cat Hight_5x5.csv <(tail +8 Hight_5x5_b.csv)

The sort command it does not work.
I would like two use both actions in a command and send the result to the plot command of gnuplot. I have tried this line:
awk '(NR>8 ){print; }' (cat Hight_5x5.csv <(tail +8 Hight_5x5_b.csv)) | sort -nk36

and it does merge the two files but it does not sort by column 36, thus I assume in gnuplot plot command will not work too.
plot "<awk '(NR>8 ){print; }' (cat Hight_5x5.csv <(tail +8 Hight_5x5_b.csv)) | sort -nk36"

The problem is the format of the two files. The data have "," separations. For example, ...,"0.041","3.5","40","false","1000","1.3","20","5","5","-20","2","100000000","0.8",....
This link has the two CSV files.
Regards

A: $ awk 'FNR>8' file1 file2 | sort -k36n

should do, I guess you should be able to pipe to gnuplot as well.
Don't understand your comment, sort will sort.  Perhaps you don't have 36 fields or your separator is not white space, which you have to specify.
Here is an example with dummy data with comma separated fields

Reasons: Native populations are known only from an isolated area on the western slope of the Baboquivari Mountains of Arizona and from a small area nearby in northern Sonora, Mexico. The very small population in Arizona is threatened with damage or destruction from major flash floods, wildfires, and overuse of the habitat by livestock. The plants are not reproducing successfully due to insect predation on the embryos. Introduced (about 1989) to an apparently appropriate habitat on the east side of the Baboquivari Mountains in a conservation management effort toward saving the species from extinction.
Comments on USESA: Amsonia kearneyana was proposed endangered on July 10, 1987 and determined endangered on January 19, 1989.
Range Extent Comments: Local endemic with naturally occurring populations from South Canyon, Baboquivari Mountains, Pima County, Arizona and also Sonora, Mexico (along US-MX border) in a limited area (R. Paredes, SOCDC, pers. comm. to M. Martinez, 1/97). A second canyon (Brown Canyon) in the Baboquivari Mountains was established as an introduced site in fall 1988 and winter 1989, and again in winter 1992. All but 33 of the 181 individuals introduced in 1988/1989 survived a major flooding event in the summer of 1990.
Number of Occurrences Comments: Occupies a few canyons in the Baboquivari Mountains. Formerly known only from (probable) type locality in Arizona, on west-facing drainage. occupies a few canyons in the Baboquivari Mountains. Discovered about 1996 nearby in Sonora, Mexico.
Population Size Comments: 8 individuals from one population in Arizona - formerly 25 (5/93 Recovery Plan). In fall 1988 and winter 1989, 181 individuals were transplanted to another canyon in the same mountain range. A flood removed most of the individuals except for 33 in the summer of 1990. Another planting was made in the winter of 1992. (FWS, in AGFD 2012). Abundance of this plant is considered low (Laurenzi and Spence, 2012).
Overall Threat Impact Comments: U.S. localities are well isolated, but flash-flooding, wildfire and grazing are potential threats.
Intrinsic Vulnerability Comments: From a very isolated area in Arizona and Sonora, Mexico.
Global Range: Local endemic with naturally occurring populations from South Canyon, Baboquivari Mountains, Pima County, Arizona and also Sonora, Mexico (along US-MX border) in a limited area (R. Paredes, SOCDC, pers. comm. to M. Martinez, 1/97). A second canyon (Brown Canyon) in the Baboquivari Mountains was established as an introduced site in fall 1988 and winter 1989, and again in winter 1992. All but 33 of the 181 individuals introduced in 1988/1989 survived a major flooding event in the summer of 1990.
Basic Description: A perennial herb with up to 50 erect stems forming a hemispherical plant about 8 dm tall. Clusters of white flowers bloom in April-May.
Habitat Comments: Stable alluvial deposits of small boulders and cobbles along a dry wash. Grows in full sun or partial shade in a riparian vegetation zone surrounded by Sonoran Desert scrub.

Is poor translation skewing your research data?
Home / Insights / Is poor translation skewing your research data?
Home to over 200 different nationalities, the UAE is often described as being "multicultural" or a "melting pot of cultures". Indeed, its rich demographic makeup contributes in large part to the country's success. However, for individuals or firms that are seeking to gain insight into this diverse consumer base, underestimating language barriers and cultural nuances can significantly hinder the gathering of reliable data.
Whilst Arabic remains the UAE's official language, a large portion of expatriates have limited/no knowledge of the language. Instead, English has assumed the role of the lingua franca and it is not uncommon to hear other languages such as Hindi, Urdu, Farsi, Tagalog, Russian, etc. Whilst majority of surveys or research materials tend to be written in English, this may not always be appropriate depending on the target segment and location.
Direct equivalents do not always exist across different languages, and so efforts must be made to ensure that the terms used accurately reflect the original meaning. For instance, translating a text or even a brand name word-for-word may result in some embarrassing or even insulting faux pas. For instance, Jolly Green Giant (the brand selling frozen and canned vegetables) discovered that their name had been translated into Arabic for the Saudi market as "Intimidating Green Ogre".
In a bid to reduce the chances of such poor translations, it is often recommended that individuals or firms opt for reverse translation. In other words, having one person translate a text from English to Arabic and having another translate it back from Arabic to English. Whilst this is undoubtedly a costlier option, it helps to ensure nothing was lost or misconstrued in translation.
Whilst the sentence would appear to be self-explanatory, it is interesting to note that sliding scales can be interpreted differently by different nationalities. For instance, whereas higher numbers are typically associated with more positive responses in Anglo-Saxon countries, the reverse is true in a number of countries such as Germany. The inability to correctly manage these potential pitfalls can create considerable inaccuracies in the results.
In addition to the above points, businesses looking to conduct research must take into consideration cultural sensitivities as well as governmental restrictions regarding research on certain topics. Despite unprecedented levels of globalization, the world will never be as flat as Thomas Friedman anticipated. As such, individuals or businesses seeking to conduct research must bear in mind some of the aforementioned factors. After all, the value of the data gathered is largely grounded in the reliability of its data gathering process.

Jenny McCarthy slams Mariah Carey over New Year's debacle
Daniel Boczarski

CHICAGO, IL - APRIL 28: Jenny McCarthy hosts her SiriusXM show from Grant Park in Chicago, IL before the NFL Draft on April 28, 2016 in Chicago, Illinois. (Photo by Daniel Boczarski/Getty Images for SiriusXM)

By: Eric Pfahler
Jenny McCarthy is adding to Mariah Carey's New Year's Eve woes by suggesting the singer's reaction to her performance debacle was worse than the incident itself.
At least, that's what McCarthy said on SiriusXM on Tuesday on "The Jenny McCarthy Show."
McCarthy served as a co-host on "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" and said she had sympathy for Carey as the scene unfolded.
Carey had audio problems while performing on New Year's Eve before leaving the stage in frustration. The incident led to a back and forth between her camp and Dick Clark Productions.
"Now I do understand our egos of course want to blame everyone but itself for mistakes, but I literally had a visceral reaction to her saying that Dick Clark Productions did this on purpose and for ratings," McCarthy said, according to Fox News. "I mean, let me tell you something. If Dick Clark were alive today, I guarantee he would be on air right now fighting back. He's not, so I'm going to."
McCarthy went on to question whether Carey still has the talent she once had.
