Vote up the moments from history so absurd they don't seem real.
Hindsight is usually 20/20, but not everything in history can be easily explained. In fact, the human past is littered with unbelievable moments that actually happened, even though they sound improbable and unlikely.
These absurd stories from history - like historical stories we hadn't heard before - demonstrate that truth really is stranger than fiction.

Church Officials Put The Body Of A Deceased Pope On Trial
The world of the Vatican has historically been as cutthroat as any political arena. That was certainly true in 897 CE when Pope Stephen VI put his predecessor, Pope Formosus, on trial. The catch? Formosus had passed the previous year, so it was his corpse standing trial.
That little fact didn't seem to matter. Officials removed Formosus's corpse from its interment site and brought it into court for the trial. Stephen sought to discredit Formosus, accusing him of being a usurper who was unworthy of the papal robes.
Ultimately, Stephen won the case against a man who could not defend himself. Officials cut off three of Formosus's bony fingers before tossing his decaying corpse into the Tiber River.

An Ex-Nazi Cult Leader Faked The Assassination Of Santa Claus In Front Of A Group Of Children
In 1961, Paul Schäfer, who participated in WWII as a Nazi, founded Colonia Dignidad in Chile. Technically a commune, Colonia Dignidad was in reality a 300-person Germanic cult led by Schäfer. Augusto Pinochet even used Colonia Dignidad as a secret prison during his rule.
The commune was also the site of cruel acts, with many accusing Schäfer of sexually abusing children.
One of the strangest moments that occurred there took place when he arranged for one of his followers to pretend to be Santa Claus so Schäfer could mock-execute him in front of some children. Schäfer wanted to terrorize the children so that they would be loyal and subservient to him.
(Colonia Dignidad changed its name to Villa Baviera in 1991 and is now a tourist site with a hotel.)

The Austrian Army Accidentally Fought Against Itself
In 1788, Austria was in the middle of a war with Ottoman Turkey. It took a dark and unexpected turn at the Battle of Karansebes, when the Austrian army fought itself.
Military historian Charles Kirke recounted that the event was the "worst single incident recorded" in the 18th century of an army inflicting casualties on itself. As the Austrian army marched at night near the town of Karansebes, cavalry and infantry members bought wine and got drunk, then started fighting with each other.
The drunk soldiers jokingly shouted the Turks were firing at them, but the soldiers behind them thought it was for real. According to Kirke:
Before long the army's orderly march had disintegrated into confusion and panic, and skirmishes had broken out along the route. By dawn, the Austrian army had inflicted thousands of casualties on itself - possible as many as 10,000 killed and wounded - without Turkish forces being anywhere near.
Some scholars wonder whether the incident was as destructive as stories like this contend; others question if it happened at all.
A Brawl Between Clowns And Firefighters Led To The Toronto Circus Riot In 1855
In the summer of 1855, S.B. Howes' Star Troupe Menagerie and Circus, an American traveling circus, stopped in Toronto. Some of the circus's clowns decided to visit a brothel where local firefighters were frequent customers - and they weren't friendly to the out-of-town visitors. When a brawl broke out between the Canadian firefighters and American clowns, the clowns won decisively.
Eager for revenge, the firefighters - who identified as "Orangemen," or members of an anti-Catholic fraternal organization that contributed to social unrest in early Toronto - and other residents tracked down the circus. The crowd set circus wagons on fire and rioted for several hours.
Historian Ian Radforth described the incident as "one of mid-19th-century Toronto's largest riots," noting it "involved youthful violence fueled by nativism and Orangeism."

Frederick Lorz Won The Marathon At The 1904 Olympics After Spending The Majority Of The Race In A Car
St. Louis, MO, hosted the 1904 Olympic Games, and that year's marathon race was among the most ridiculous in memory. American runner Frederick Lorz won, but only because he climbed into a car at mile 10, and rode in it for the next 11 miles. Unsurprisingly, he was the first to cross the finish line. Lorz was feted as the winner of the marathon and even took a commemorative photo with first daughter Alice Roosevelt to mark the occasion. But he soon admitted what had happened and was disqualified.
As a result, Tom Hicks - who crossed the finish line after Lorz - was crowned the champion. Hicks had to be held up as he completed the race. The marathon took so much out of him that he had to be medicated with various mixtures of brandy, egg whites, and strychnine en route.
Lorz's deception and Hicks's exhaustion weren't the only problems that plagued the 1904 Olympic marathon. Another runner, William Garcia, ingested so much dust from the dry path that the particles tore the lining of his stomach. He coughed up blood and had to be hospitalized.
The CIA Attempted To Use Cats To Spy On Targets
The CIA, known for subterfuge and clandestine surveillance, once tried to use cats to spy on Soviets and others.
For a program code-named Operation Acoustic Kitty, scientists installed a microphone, transmitter, and antenna into a cat. Operatives then trained the cat to move to strategic points so agents could eavesdrop on conversations.
They actually implanted the devices into a cat and took the animal to a park for a test run, but the operation ended in tragedy: The cat was hit by a car.
Ultimately, the CIA realized that the program "would not be practical," and abandoned it.

Italian researchers crack Mars surface and uncover massive lake under polar ice caps
AN EXTRAORDINARY scientific discovery deep beneath the surface of Mars has heightened speculation there really is life on the planet.

IT'S said to be a discovery beyond everyone's wildest imagination.
A team of Italian researchers have poked at the polar ice caps on Mars with a radar and uncovered a lake that stretches about 20km across and 1.5km deep.
Previous discoveries have only been around temporary trickles of water and so to have found a massive reservoir of liquid hidden underground has been hailed a stunningly amazing result.
The researchers say the lake was likely able to stay liquid because of salts from Martian rocks dissolving into the water, coupled with the incredible pressure of the ice above.
The all-Italian team led by the National Institute of Astrophysics made the discovery using MARSIS (Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding), a radar installed on board the European Mars Express probe and developed under the control of the Italian Space Agency.
"We discovered water on Mars," said lead researcher Roberto Orosei at the National Institute of Astrophysics in Bologna, Italy. He added that any other explanation for the bright reflections the scientists saw in the radar data was "untenable".
The findings were published overnight in the journal Science and have excited the scientific community.
"There is no reason to conclude that the presence of subsurface water on Mars is limited to a single location," the researchers wrote.

Australian experts have applauded the find, saying the discovery of liquid and frozen water resources is key because of their ability to produce fuel and provide life support for astronauts during deep space missions, allowing lower cost launches and space operations.
"Why is this so exciting? Well, we know Mars was once warm and wet — and likely stayed that way for a very long time," said Dr Jonti Horner of the University of Southern Queensland.
"The shift from 'warm and wet' to 'frozen wasteland' would have occurred very, very slowly, giving any life that got started on Mars plenty of time to adapt and to move with the water.
"This lake, if it really is there, would be a prime place to look for life — after all, we have similar things on Earth, like the lakes buried beneath Antarctica, and life has been found to exist and thrive down there.
"That doesn't mean that there will be life there — but it does suggest that a lake on Mars would be a perfect place to look."
Associate Professor Alan Duffy, lead scientist of Australia's Science Channel, said the ending of Total Recall where Arnold Schwarzenegger melted vast ice reserves just became less science fiction and more science fact.
"This is a stunning result that suggests water on Mars is not a temporary trickle like previous discoveries but a persistent body of water that provides the conditions for life for extended periods of time," he said.

"The liquid water is not a lake that you would want to swim in, locked away 1.5km beneath the surface of the Martian South Pole, the water would be a brine mixed with perchlorate salts," he said.
"It's those salts that keep the water from freezing, familiar to anyone who can drive on ice-free roads in winter after the salt gritters have been at work.
"The underground water might exist as a lake trapped beneath rock layers or mixed in with Martian soil to create a salty sludge, but either way at 20km across there is a lot of it."
The concentration of salts needed to keep the water liquid could be fatal for any microbial life similar to Earth's, which means caution needs to be taken, with no immediate means of sampling the water.

RELATED: Aussie set for a once in a century lunar eclipse event this weekend
Professor Andrew Dempster, director of the Australian Centre for Space Engineering Research, said the discovery reinforced work over the past few years that had identified water as the first resource to be "mined" in space.
"Since United Launch Alliance put a price on delivering water in space in 2016, researchers, agencies and companies have focused on water, for support of life and chemical processes, and for conversion to hydrogen and oxygen for rocket fuel," he said.
"That water could be sourced from asteroids, the moon, or Mars. Discovery of a large water supply on Mars confirms we're heading in the right direction."
Professor Dempster said Australia had taken a leadership position on the matter, with University of New South Wales researchers examining business cases, mining methods, earth analogues, asteroid selection, asteroid navigation and other resources such as platinum.

Personalities | Buddy Holly | Fifties | Rock
Buddy Holly was born Charles Hardin Holley in Lubbock, Texas, on 7 September 1936. Buddy got a guitar in his mid-teens and started practising with friend, Bob Montgomery. They liked country and western but also had predilection for the blues.
An Elvis gig in Lubbock in early 1955 alerted them to new possibilities. Buddy and Bob, as they called themselves, played local radio stations and were making a reputation; but when agent Eddie Crandall managed to get Holly a deal with Decca in Nashville, after seeing him support Bill Haley, Bob was not included. Guitarist Sonny Curtis, bassist Don Guess and drummer Jerry Allison joined him to form The Crickets.
A False Start And A New Dawn
Holly recorded under the auspices of legendary producer Owen Bradley, and released 'Blue Days, Black Nights' in July 1956. It did well enough to earn another couple of dates in the studio. 'Modern Don Juan' appeared in late 1956 to a muted response. Bradley, steeped in country, did not quite know what to do with this new rock'n'roll sound.
Holly returned to Norman Petty's studio in Clovis, New Mexico, where he had previously recorded some demos. Petty had a well-equipped operation. As at Sun Studio in Memphis there was no time-limit on sessions, and as at Sun, Petty had developed his own echo technology.
Buddy had apparently been talking about their future fame, and Allison, quoting from the recent film, The Searchers, had answered with the catchphrase of John Wayne's character – 'That'll be the day…'. This became the title of The Crickets' first hit, released in its demo form by Coral. It went to the US No. 1 in summer 1957.
Hitting the market with songs under the band's moniker and with his own name became the norm. It doubled the chance of airplay. This dual success continued with 'Peggy Sue', a Holly track; then a couple of Crickets' releases, 'Oh Boy' backed with 'Not Fade Away' (one of the strongest pairings in rock history) and 'Maybe Baby'; followed by two Holly numbers, 'Listen To Me' and 'Rave On'. In the midst of this the band were touring heavily with a new bassist and guitarist, Joe B. Mauldin and Niki Sullivan – notably on the 'Biggest Show Of Stars For '57' package, with Chuck Berry, The Everlys and Fats Domino, amongst many others. The sessions at Clovis also bore fruit in two of the finest albums of the era, The Chirping Crickets in November 1957 (March 1958 in the UK) and Buddy Holly in March 1958 (July 1958, UK). 'Words Of Love', from the latter, and 'Peggy Sue', from the former, both used pioneering overdubbing and double-tracking techniques. More evidence of both Petty and Holly's willingness to experiment.
The Star Shines On
In March 1958, Buddy and The Crickets toured Britain, and two avid spectators at their Liverpool gig were teenagers John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Several years on their compositions rang with Holly's influence. McCartney...

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. It was Barrett's last "first" holiday.
For lunch Barrett and I headed to my Grandmother's and it was yummy. (Patrick had to work).
We left there and swung by the house to get Patrick and head to his parents house for dinner. It was delicious also. There was no room for our plates on the table because there was so much food. Barrett ate his weight in green beans.
I love this little turkey so much.
The grandkids. They are all so sweet to Barrett.
We started our Friday with a bundled up walk with Aunt Elizabeth. Friday afternoon we met for Book Club and went to see Catching Fire. It was sooo good. I would have liked it better if I'd reread the book because I was trying to remember parts and it was taking away from the movie for me. I want to reread the book then see it again. I know I'm crazy.
Saturday we geared up for the biggest Iron Bowl of our lifetime. #1 Alabama vs #4 Auburn. Winner wins the SEC West and is one step closer to the National Championship. Barrett, Ally and I got dressed in our tide gear and patiently waited for Patrick's mostly Auburn friends to arrive. I was nervous all day and had a bad feeling. I didn't want to admit it. Auburn scored first and it was a little defeating. Barrett started crying and it was hilarious. I wanted to cry too. It was back and forth and we had plenty of chances to win. The game was tied when we thought the clock ran out. Well after an official review the runner was out of bounds with 1 second on the clock and unless you've been living under a rock you know how it ended. But since I want Barrett to read this one day I'll type it out. We lost. With 1 second left on the clock we go in with a field goal team. It would be a 56 yard kick. Well it was about 2 yards short, Auburn fielded it and ran it 108 yards for the game winning touchdown. It was heart breaking. Now Auburn will play for the SEC Championship this weekend. Roll Tide.
All in all it was a great weekend. I hated my team lost but it was bound to happen sometime. At least its still the State of Alabama representing the SEC west. Now we are in full Christmas mode. We are enjoying our Advent Activity calendar that I made and our daily scripture readings at night.

It was supposed to be a way to benefit from the "sharing economy", to put your biggest asset to work by earning a bit extra from a spare room, or your entire home while you headed off to the sun.
Now, however, oversight and regulation, not to mind the tax authorities, are steadily encroaching on what started off for many, as a bit of a fun way to earn a few extra bob. And there may be a very real fear, that those who are benefiting the most financially from the house-sharing platform, will end up ruining it for those who built it up to what it is today, by bringing the arm of regulation to bear too forcibly.
Already the Department of Housing has come out with guidance, distinguishing between those who offer "homesharing" and commercial operators who are using the platform to move from long-term to short-term lets. The Revenue Commissioner has stated the tax liabilities that arise from the scheme, and An Bord Pleanála has upheld a ruling that apartments used for short-term lets may require change-of-use planning permission.
Now Dublin City Council is stepping up its oversight of the sector, issuing warning letters and upping its investigation of properties it suspects may be in breach of planning regulations by carrying out "unauthorised development" such as short-term lets.
Again, the concern of the council is most likely with those who are operating professional tourism businesses via the platform, without the appropriate planning permission. The Department of Housing guidelines suggest this includes those who let the property for more than 60 nights in a year.
But despite the rush to clampdown on short-term lets, it's showing no signs of slowing down; indeed while listings for long-term rentals or houses to buy have dried up, short-term lettings are soaring, with more than 7,000 properties across Ireland for let on the platform today.
This could pave the way for the authorities here to adopt a stricter approach, along the lines of New York, which banned short-term rentals of less than 30 days. If this was to be the case, then the original adopters or "homesharers" will lose out, as will tourists, who very often prefer the flexibility of an apartment over a hotel bedroom.
Already some operators are going down the official route, seeking planning permission before they start operating a short-term letting business.
Maybe it's now time for those who continue to side-step their obligations to do likewise.

Q: how to change xml by browser I would like to change some rules in my XML depending on the browser. For example, the 'fontcolor' should be black when using IE. So far I googled it, I found this could be possible using XSLT. But unfortunately, after googling/trying&error after 1/2 days, I still didn't get the clue how to do this.
Could someone help me how to solve this? Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks !!

A: I don't think there is a good way to detect browsers using only XSLT. Although XSLT was originally designed to be executed on XML in-browser, that's not how it worked out in practice. I think you'll be better off doing your browser detection in Javascript.
From there, you could conditionally output the XML you want directly from the JavaScript, or you could pass the browser type as an external variable to your XSLT and let it handle the conditional logic.

The wizards and witches agree: the more bumps on the dragon, the better the harvest will be! Which is splendid news with the arrival of the gourd, as the harvest will yield a fabulous hoard!
The Gourd Dragon can be bred by using a Pepper Dragon and a Root Dragon, in either order, at the Breeding Cave/Epic Breeding Island.
On November 26, 2016, the Gourd Dragon was listed on sale at a reduced price for a limited period of time.
The Gourd Dragon's sale ended on November 27, 2016 when the price rose from 250 to 1,250 gems.
The reward of only treats upon goal completion may be a reference to Thanksgiving.


Some financial planners say that everyone needs a living trust. Other planners will say that you just need a last will and testament (will) to handle your estate. Whether you use a living trust or a will to carry out your final wishes, it is critical that you consult with an attorney who will draft the living trust and/or will. Estate laws and probate proceedings differ from state to state, and you will want to be sure that your living trust or will conforms to the laws of the state of your residence.
The purpose for this discussion is NOT to provide you with legal advice or tell you how to create a living trust or will. My purpose is to acquaint you with the options available and encourage you to complete an estate plan.
A trust is created when one person transfers property interests to be held for the benefit of herself/himself and others. A trust that is created and effective during a person's lifetime is a living trust. A trust that is created in a will is known as a testamentary trust and becomes effective at death. Both a living trust and a testamentary trust can accomplish the same thing, it's just a matter of timing when they go into effect.
You desire privacy. In most states an inventory of assets and the will become a matter of public record. Assets held in a trust are not subject to probate administration and are not open to the public.
You want successor management. All trusts name a successor trustee. If the grantor/trustee becomes disabled, incompetent, or just wants to be relieved of the burden of managing assets, the successor trustee (stated in the living trust) can step in and take over. Generally, the successor trustee is a professional manager or family member with the skills necessary to handle the duties.
You anticipate that your will is likely to be challenged. In practice, a trust is much more difficult to challenge than a will. A trust can be used to avoid fights within unconventional families where there are multiple marriages resulting in step families or unmarried companions and other non-traditional family situations.
You own property in other states. If you own real estate in another state an additional probate process will need to be completed in that state, unless the property is owned by the living trust.
You have a business or farm. A change in ownership of the business could cause an unnecessary disturbance to the business during and after the probate process. A living trust could provide for management continuity and a smooth transition.
You have minor children or an adult special needs child or grandchild. A living trust or testamentary trust will need to be established to hold and manage assets for the benefit of the minor or special needs person. You don't want them to risk losing benefits because they inherited assets directly.
Costs for establishing a living trust can be substantial. Generally attorney fees for establishing a living trust are greater than the costs for a new will with a testamentary trust.
It can be a lot of work and you can incur costs re-titling your assets to the trust. You will need to execute a new deed for your real estate. You will need to change the title of your bank and brokerage accounts. Assignments of interests in businesses, notes, and certain personal property will need to be executed.
Your primary assets are life insurance and pension plans that have a named beneficiary or bank accounts and real estate that have joint tenants. If all of your assets would bypass the probate process you don't need a living trust.
An online survey in 2012 revealed the 55% of adults in the U.S. do not have a will or a living trust. If you are one of these millions without a plan, get to an attorney and get a will or living trust completed in 2013. Don't leave your loved ones depending on state laws and the court system to sort through your affairs.

Instead of this:
$pdf->DocNum = $DocNum;
$pdf->$cliente = $cliente;
$pdf->$noCliente = $noCliente;
$pdf->$noTienda = $noTienda;
$pdf->$noPedido = $noPedido;

It should be more like this:

$pdf->cliente   = 'somevalue';
$pdf->noCliente = 'somevalue';
$pdf->noTienda  = 'somevalue';
$pdf->noPedido  = 'somevalue';

A: You are doing it wrong! Should be like this:
$pdf->DocNum = $DocNum;
$pdf->cliente = $cliente;
$pdf->noCliente = $noCliente;
$pdf->noTienda = $noTienda;
$pdf->noPedido = $noPedido;

Don't worry, this week's 12 series is here to help. After putting hours preparing that delicious Thanksgiving dinner, the last thing anyone would want to do is figure out more recipes for the leftovers. And so, here are 12 recipes inspired by Thanksgiving… and its aftermath.
How do you deal with those leftovers? We'd love to hear. Give us a holler in the comments below or over on Facebook or Twitter.

Advanced Placement courses are college-level courses offered by trained high school teachers in the regular high school setting. AP® courses guarantee rigor in our classrooms. The high school teachers who offer AP® courses are trained by The College Board to offer the course at a college-level and have a syllabus approved by The College Board. AP® courses are challenging and require significant study time on a daily basis. Assessments in these classes require sophisticated critical thinking skills. In May of each year, AP students take the AP® exam(s). Students who score at the 3, 4 or 5 level may be able to earn college credit for these courses taken in the high school. Policies for credit differ from college to college, so take care to check college admissions and credit policies.
Performing well on an AP® exam means more than just the successful completion of a course. Research suggests that students who complete an AP®
Coursework are:
Better prepared for college-level work
Stand-outs in college admissions process
More likely to continue beyond their freshman year in college
More likely to graduate within 4-5 years
More competitive in qualifying for scholarships
There are currently 35 AP courses that high schools in the US may choose to offer. Not all courses are offered in each high school. Communicate with your local school's counseling department to learn which of these courses are offered in your high school.

Accra, Ghana, February 4, 2019//-The similarity of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) of Ghana and the United States (U.S) Republican Party has never been in doubt.
Both parties which are currently in power have elephants as their emblems. They share the same political ideology in the form of capitalism.
The U.S Republican is often called "the right" or "conservatives", while the NPP, is referred as centre-right and liberal conservative party in Ghana.
However relations between the Akufo-Addo –led government and its counterpart led by Donald Trump in the U.S have gone record low for almost a decade.
What caused the frenzy diplomatic relations?
Just recently, the U.S government sanctioned Ghana for refusing to grant travel documents to over 7,000 Ghanaians in various detention centres across the U.S to enable the Washington deport them to Accra, Ghana.
In a strong-worded press release, the U.S Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced, in coordination with the Department of State, the implementation of visa sanctions on Ghana due to lack of cooperation in accepting their nationals ordered removed from the U.S.
As a result, Secretary of State Pompeo ordered consular officers in Ghana to implement visa restrictions on certain categories of visa applicants.
Without an appropriate response from Ghana, the scope of these sanctions may be expanded to a wider population. The sanctions will remain in place until the Secretary of Homeland Security notifies Secretary Pompeo that cooperation on removals has improved to an acceptable level.
"The United States routinely cooperates with foreign governments in documenting and accepting U.S. citizens when asked, as appropriate, as do the majority of countries in the world, but Ghana has failed to do so in this case. We hope the Ghanaian government will work with us to reconcile these deficiencies quickly", according to the press release issued by the DHS.
The U.S Ambassador to Ghana, Stephanie S. Sullivan explained that the U.S has been working with Ghana for more than two years for Ghana to issue documents for the over 7,000 Ghanaian nationals under deportation orders in the US. But Ghana keeps on dragging its feet.
Ms Sullivan told journalists in Accra that; "the Department of Homeland Security and Department of the State have been working with the Ghanaian Embassy in Washington and Foreign Affairs Ministry in Ghana to issue passports for Ghanaians who were subject to deportation orders within 30 days, in line with the UN Convention on International Civil Aviation".
The timely issuance of the passports help to facilitate deportee's departure on commercial flights, failure of which means that the US has to arrange charter flights or in some cases, release those under final orders of removal within the US, she further explained.
As a result of Ghana's refusal to grant travel documents to the over 7,000 Ghanaians, the U.S has paused the issuance of all new visas for domestic employees of Ghanaian Diplomats hosted in the US, effective Monday, February 4, 2019, Ms Sullivan announced.
Additionally, the Embassy in Accra would limit the normal five-year validity period and a number of entries on Tourist and Business visas for all Ghanaian Executive and Legislative branch employees, their spouses and children under age 21, to single entry visas valid for only one month.
She emphasized: "This will also apply to Ghanaians who are not government employees but hold diplomatic and official passports".
"We hope to work closely together with Ghanaian authorities to resolve this issue properly. The US government will lift these limitations when the Ghanaian consulate in the US issue the required passports and demonstrate they can consistently provide timely issuance of documents for citizens going forward," Ms Sullivan said.
"Both we and government of Ghana are eager to resolve this issue that has spanned two administrations both in Accra and Washington," Ms Sullivan stated.
Ghana's government has described the allegations of non-cooperation by the U.S government over the deportation of some Ghanaians leading to visa sanction on Ghana as unfounded.
Ghana has always cooperated and engaged the US authorities in processing and removal of Ghanaians from the US, according official statement from Ghana's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The Ministry disclosed that as at January 8, 2019, its Washington Mission had received 28 applications from the US Authorities, out of which 19 had been interviewed by the Embassy and 11 travelling certificates issued for their travel to Ghana.
It said those outstanding are as a result of doubts on their Ghanaian nationality, ill health and pending litigation in US courts.
Ghana said it is assessing the situation and would institute appropriate measures within the context of international law and the bilateral relations between Ghana and the United States in due course.
A foreign policy and security analyst, Sani Adib said: "Considering the U.S power, Ghana has to make some compromises" in its bid to quell the fire.
He however admitted that the action taken by the U.S could completely strain Ghana's long-standing diplomatic relationship with the U.S which has been major trade partners and supporter.
The Ghana-U.S two-way trade is growing. Trade figures have shown that bilateral between the two countries is hovering $1.7 billion as at 2017, representing 53.61% increase over the $1.1 billion recorded in 2016.
The data published by the United States Census Bureau put the total balance of trade in favour of the U.S at $135.7 million.
The U.S exported goods valued at $885.7 million to Ghana in 2017, representing a 6.45% increase over the $832 million recorded in 2016, while Ghana more than doubled the value of exports to the U.S in 2017, raking in $750 million.
This represents a 133.50% increase as compared to the $321.2 million registered in 2016.
US exports to Ghana are mainly industrial machinery, automobile, and electronics, among others. On the other hand, exports from Ghana to US are mainly agricultural products, as well as textiles.
To address these trade imbalances, the U.S enacted the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) as Public Law 106 of the 200th Congress.
AGOA has since been renewed to 2025. AGOA makes it easier for Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries including Ghana and Nigeria by removing U.S import duties on products covered by the AGOA legislation.
For instance, in 2017, exports under the AGOA alone rose to some $300 million. Furthermore, "American investment remains strong, evidenced by the 37 U.S. companies that have made new investments in Ghana in the last five years. Even more exciting is the 79 new investments or trade deals that have been made over the past year, totaling $800 million", according to information from the U.S Embassy in Accra.
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) serves as the lead U.S. government agency working to end extreme global poverty and enable resilient, democratic societies to realize their potential.
Through USAID, the American people invest more than $145 million in Ghana each year in agriculture, health, education, energy, and democracy and governance programs.
The new Millennium Challenge Compact II, which entered into force in 2016, will invest nearly $500 million to support the transformation of Ghana's power sector and stimulate private investment.
Also in 2016, the United States contributed more than $7 million to help ensure Ghana's peaceful, transparent and credible elections.
Ghana was the first country in the world to accept Peace Corps Volunteers, and the program remains one of the leaders in programming, training and innovation. Currently, there are approximately 150 volunteers in Ghana. Volunteers work in agriculture, education and health sectors in all 10 Regions of the country.
Finally, the United States and Ghana are close allies in addressing regional and international security issues. The U.S and Ghanaian militaries have cooperated on numerous joint training exercises designed to increase the effectiveness of U.S. and Ghanaian government entities and security forces in responding to international threats such as trafficking and terrorism.
Ghana is one of only 13 African nations selected for the State Partnership Program, which pairs a U.S. state's National Guard with the armed forces of a partner country in a cooperative, mutually beneficial relationship.
The United States and Ghana have a close and enduring friendship rooted in their mutual commitment to freedom and democratic values. While their official bilateral relationship dates back to Ghana's independence in 1957.
Ghana completed a five-year $547 million Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) compact in 2012 and a second, five-year $498 million MCC compact focused on the power sector entered into force on September 6, 2016.
On education, thousands of Ghanaians have been educated in the United States. Through the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) and other exchange programs, thousands more talented Ghanaians have developed their leadership skills and gotten to know America. Meanwhile, Ghana attracts hundreds of American students each year seeking to experience the rich history and culture of West Africa.

Yann Tiersen (Brest, 23 de junho de 1970) é um músico de vanguarda, multi-instrumentista e compositor francês de origem judaica com raízes belgas e norueguesas. Compondo para piano, sanfona e violino, sua música aproxima-se de Erik Satie e do minimalismo de Steve Reich, Philip Glass e Michael Nyman. Tornou-se internacionalmente conhecido ao compor trilhas sonoras de filmes como O fabuloso destino de Amélie Poulain e Good Bye, Lenin!.

Passou sua infância em Rennes, também na Bretanha, onde estudou violino,  piano e regência orquestral. De formação clássica, encaminhou-se para o rock já na idade adulta. Nos anos 1990, junta-se a vários grupos de rock em Rennes. Em seguida, começa a escrever trilhas sonoras para peças teatrais e filmes como "A vida sonhada dos anjos panic hacker" (1998), de Erick Zonca, "Alice e Martin" (1998), de André Téchiné e "O que a Lua Revela" (1999), de Christine Carrière.

It was tough, but manageable. Probably not the best portage for a first trip. Up and down hill. Up and over rocks. Going through Sandpit and Tin Can would probably be easier, but we didn't go that way so I can't really say.

Due to high water, the portage landing on the south end was under water. After that, it was a pretty hike with some elevation and rocks.
On 5/27/2019 7:19:26 AM, Joe Scott said:
This portage would be a great hike. However, carrying packs and a canoe with the steep elevation and the tricky footing in spots make this a challenge. Portage can also be busy. Coming from the Fourtown side, the landing on the Mudro side is actually further down than you think as the creak is still very shallow in the area where you come down the path toward the water.
On 2/24/2019 6:08:00 PM, Riley Smith said:
I don't really know what the problem is with this one. It is a bit rocky, and I did slip in past my waste, but I think this is a pretty portage personally.

Personally, I hated this portage the first time I took it on a 93 degree day. However, each time since, this portage and I started to form a nice relationship. Despite all it's rough edges, drastic ups and downs, tight spaces and sharp limiting turns; it provides several positives like nice beautiful views, the calming sounds of a creek that runs beside it and the sense of accomplishment at the finish line. The Fourtown portage is to the Boundary Waters what my wife is to me, so I've grown very fond of it...
On 6/2/2018 6:20:38 PM, twincitiesjesse said:
As of June 1st, 2018, there were two different sections with fallen trees across the path. Both were low enough to require unshouldering the canoe. Hilly, rocky in spots, but in dry weather, the portage was otherwise nice. Wouldn't want to try this one on a wet day.
On 6/16/2015 10:18:33 AM, PanicButtonGuy said:
Would be a great hike without an aluminum canoe on your shoulders.
On 2/13/2015 1:22:43 PM, halvorson.christopher said:
Difficult , but beautiful. 6 out of 10. Worth the hike!
On 7/5/2014 5:09:57 PM, Bradford said:
Compared to a whole lotta other portages, this one is bad. Steep climbs over rocks, bad footing, long, twisty, steep declines, lotsa ankle twisting rocks and a bad takeout on the north end. As portages go this one is in the category of pain in the ass.
On 5/10/2014 10:19:43 AM, bwbrian said:
This is the portage that everyone complains about, but don't let that scare you. The landing on the South end is nice. From there the trail does climb and has some interesting rocks, but the view of the creek tumbling along below is great. The landing on the North is on a rock face that can be slippery so watch your step. All-in-all it's not nearly as bad as the reputation.

As of January 15, we will no longer do pipe repairs with the exception of pipe cleaning, buffing and polishing, Full Pipe Restorations and Ozone Treating. I am nearly 71 and Sue is 62. We have been working way to hard the last few years and feel that it's time to slow down some and get a little more enjoyment from life.
Clean, Buff and Polish pipes, and do Full Pipe Restorations, for which we have earned an excellent reputation over the years, and Ozone Treating. Full Restorations consist of such things as stripping and restaining. Most pipes really don't need that much. A thorough inside and outside cleaning, buffing, polishing, waxing and tooth mark reduction or removal will put most pipes in near new condition at a very reasonable cost.
Sell Missouri Meerschaum Corn Cob Pipes, make and sell our 'Forever' replacement stems for them, and our Vulcanite Stem Restoration Kits.
Sell Consignment Pipes on our website for those of you who want to "thin the herd", get some bucks to "trade up" or just get some bucks from pipes that have been gathering dust in your pipe racks. This will also help some of your forgotten old "pals" move on to a new life.
Making these changes will help us live a more normal life while staying in touch with the pipe smoking community and all of you, and will keep me active in a healthy, fun way.
I thank all of you for sending your repairs over the years. I hope you will stay with us for Cob stuff, Restoration Kits and Estate Pipes for the future. We're looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible at the Chicagoland Pipe Show in May. More about that in a future Newsletter.
I just mailed him a stem last Monday ( stuck pipe cleaner).hope I got in under the wire.
Time to order some Forever stems, me thinks.
He does such a great job repairing stems. Where do we go now for stem repairs?
Support The Epilepsy Awareness Foundation!
For your future pipe repairs, I highly recommend Howard Rasmussen at Starfire Pipe Works in Glendale, Arizona. Howard was trained by and has work with Paul Hildebrand, a truly Master Pipe Maker and Repairman for several years, and knows his stuff. He does excellent work, charges fair rates, has fast turn around and is easy to work with.
Other very qualified pipe repairmen that I recommend, both of whom I trust and who do excellent work are: Tim West at J.H. Lowe.com and Floyd Norwood at Norwood's Pipe Repair. Any one of these three well respected shops will take as good care of you and your pipe problems as we have through the years.
I'm not sure which post went up first, so no offense, closing this one and providing the link to the other one.

New Delhi, Sep 2: Drug firm Cadila Healthcare today said it has received an Establishment Inspection Report (EIR) from the US health regulator for its manufacturing plant in Ahmedabad.
"The company's Oral Solid Dosage drug manufacturing plant located at SEZ, Ahmedabad has received an Establishment Inspection Report (EIR) from the USFDA following the inspection carried out in January 2016," Cadila Healthcare Ltd said in a BSE filing.
The EIR report is given to an establishment after the completion of an inspection by the USFDA.
The company further said: "The receipt of EIR indicates the successful closure of the inspection points raised. It may be mentioned that this plant is a separate manufacturing unit and does not form a part of the Moraiya formulations manufacturing facility."
Shares of the company were trading at Rs 385.85 on BSE, up 2.77 per cent, from previous close.

Christoph Báthory (von Somlyo, ; * 1530; begraben 27. Mai 1581 in Weißenburg) war Fürst von Siebenbürgen und Bruder des polnischen Königs Stephan Báthory.

1557 beauftragte ihn Königin Isabella, den französischen König in Frankreich aufzusuchen. In den Jahren um 1565 stand Christoph Báthory in Diensten von Johann Sigismund Zápolya und erzielte bei Chust gegen türkische Truppen einen bedeutsamen Sieg.

Background & Aims
Epithelioid granulomas are characteristics of a subset of patients with Crohn's disease (CD), but their significance, with regard to disease progression and severity, is unclear. We investigated the relationship between granulomas and CD severity over a 6-year time period in a large cohort of patients.
We performed a retrospective study of patients with CD seen at the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center at the University of Pittsburgh; data were collected from 2009 through 2014, and patients were assigned to groups with and without histologic evidence of granuloma. Demographic, clinical (including disease activity, quality of life, medication use, and healthcare utilization), and laboratory data were used in association and survival analyses. Differences between groups were evaluated using the Mann-Whitney U-test for continuous variables.
Of 1,466 patients with CD, granulomas were identified in 187 (12.8%). In the subset of patients who underwent surgery, 21.0% had granulomas. The presence of granuloma was associated with increased serum levels of c-reactive protein (odds ratio [OR], 2.9; 95% CI, 2.078–4.208; P<.0001), younger mean age at diagnosis (23.6±11.3 years in patients with granulomas versus 27.9±13.3 years in patients without; P=.0005), higher rates of stricturing or penetrating disease phenotype, higher rates of steroid and narcotic use, and higher healthcare utilization. Among patients that underwent surgery, the presence of granulomas was associated with need for repeat surgery during the 6-year observation period (OR, 2.5; 95% CI, 1.54–4.02; P=.0002). Infliximab use was associated with detection of granuloma in a significantly lower proportion of surgical specimens compared with patients who had not been treated with a biologic agent (OR=0.22; 95 CI, 0.05–0.97; P=.03).
Epithelioid granulomas develop in less than 13% of patients with CD, and are associated with a more aggressive disease phenotype. Patients who have undergone surgery for CD and have granulomas are at increased risk for repeat surgery within 6 years.

Referral Services: The department provides intra-hospital referral services to all departments in the institute, round the clock.
As no full fledged pediatric surgical facilities are available in several of the neighbouring districts and medical college hospitals we are the referral centre for about 150km radius for both elective advanced procedures and emergency care.
All elective consulatations and minor procedures including dressing, suture removals, calibrations etc are carried out in the OPD.


1. Use mystery bundles – Bundling products is an extremely effective way to boost order values while providing more to customers, two points extremely important to your profit margins. Mystery bundles put together a secret bundle of great products at an impeccable price, but the catch is that customers must buy it all to take advantage of the promotion. To drum up excitement, release teasers or sneak peeks of what is inside the bundle.
2. Turn promos into a game – Spin to wins, scratch and reveals, or any little game that teases chance mixed with offers is a great way to get excitement up about your promotions. Apps can solicit email addresses in exchange for a promo scratch ticket or wheel spin, boosting your leads while offering up great promotions.
3. Do a deal a day – Want to keep customers coming back? Promotions can be made up of different deals each day rather than a flat promotion offered over a period of time.
4. Offering gifts with purchase – Getting a little something extra is a great effective incentive, and free gifts work to push customers over that edge from prospects to purchasers. With the purchase of a certain item, or a minimum spend amount, a small gift is included to sweeten the pot.
5. Partner with influencers – Influencers are called as such because they have the power of influence. Partnering with influencers for promotions gets the word out to wide and varied audiences.
6. Donate to a cause – Shopping feels better when there's something to feel good about. Donations made with purchases of a certain amount, or the purchase of a particular product, are the perfect way to turn spending guilt into feeling good about a purchase.

Q: Edit home directory for an LDAP user in Linux I have an LDAP user who accesses a server based on having the appropriate LDAP host attribute via sssd.  This user does not show up in /etc/passwd because he is not local.  How do I modify his home dir location if he has already logged in and it was created in the default location?  RHEL 6   Is it just usermod -d /new/location -m?

A: This is actually shockingly easy.  If your nsswitch is files ldap; just add an entry for them in /etc/passwd and modify whatever parameter you want.  If they don't already exist in /etc/passwd, you could do getent passwd <username> | sed 's|/home/<username>|/home/remoteusers/<username>|g' >> /etc/passwd for instance to change their home directory from the root of /home to a subfolder of home called remoteusers.  The caveat is that you cannot use useradd or usermod, you must edit the file with an editor.

A: I achieved this on Ubuntu 18.04 using OpenLDAP and SSSD by doing the following:

*

*In the user's LDAP entry just modify the homeDirectory: /path/to/custom/home/username, you can check out ldapmodify for this

*In the SSSD daemon configuration file sssd.conf, under [nss], add or edit the parameter override_homedir = /path/to/custom/home/%u

*In the linux PAM common-session module add the following entry if you want to have the user's home directory created upon first login
:~# tail -1 /etc/pam.d/common-session
session    optional pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ umask=077```

*test by using su with a LDAP user and check that the user's home is created where necessary

A: I don't believe that RHEL's usermod (or any stock NSS tools) supports changing the contents of NSS. You will probably need to actually modify the contents of LDAP, then move his home directory. Possible tools for you: diradm (look at the v2 fork in Gentoo esp.), ldapvi, cpu, ldapscripts (might be debian-only)

A: I know this thread is old.  However, I stumbled across it while attempting the same thing on CentOS 7.  I imagine the process is the same.  I needed to change several users directories from /home/USER to /home/ldap-users/USER.
First create an ldif file with the changes you want to make.  I named mine changehomedirs.ldif.  You may need to change your ou depending on what organizational unit you put your users in.  I called mine People.
Then I wrote a script to essentially loop through each LDAP user one at a time and used sed to replace the word USER in the changehomedirs.ldif file to the current user in the loop and redirect the output to a temporary file named tmp.ldif.
Then I used the ldapmodify command to make the changes by using the -f option to read the desired changes from the tmp.ldif file.  The example is in the screenshot below.
This is just a testing system so the password is not sensitive in nature.


If you ask leaders and bosses what is the most important thing that they need to provide to employees to engage them at work, the research repeated over the last 40 years states, that most leaders will say Money. The irony is that if you ask employees the same thing the answer is quite different – Positive Attention from the boss—in the form of knowing what is going on, and focusing on your strengths. Yes, money is important in the sense that workers want to feel that they are paid fairly, but the attention and type of attention a boss pays to an employee makes all the difference in the world in the level of employee engagement.
In a research paper by Krueger et. Al. entitled, National Time Accounting, The Currency of Life out of Princeton University, states that the most disengaged workers are those that the boss pays NO ATTENTION to. Nada, Rien, Nothing. If your boss (or you as a boss) pay no attention to employees there is 40% chance the worker will be disengaged. If a boss, does in fact pay negative attention, the level of disengagement goes down to 22%, and if the boss (you) pay positive attention focusing on the strengths of the employee and keeping them in the "know," the level of disengagement goes down to 1% or 99% of these folks will be engaged.
So what does paying positive attention actually mean and why is it so hard to do.
First, pay attention. Notice (if you are the boss) how many times a day or week you talk to your employees, send an email, thank them, encourage them, support them, and most importantly focus on building their strengths to be even more productive and achieve fantastic results.
Second, ask your employee (or if you are an employee tell your boss) what you need from them to be actively engage. What type of coaching, support, information, challenge, or training do you need to fully be engaged.
Being a boss, leader and manager is a job not to be taken lightly. In the spirit of creating a healthy joyful life, paying attention to how we can uplift our good feelings about work is critical and like most things if we pay a bit of attention to it, we can impact the career well-being and therefore the life well-being of millions of people.
On the other side, if you have a boss you would prefer to ignore, you can choose to talk to him/her and tell them what you need, find a new boss, or find support elsewhere to help you achieve the career well-being you need to live a healthy joyful life.
The good news is we do have control over how we pay attention and it doesn't cost a dime.
Let me know what you are doing to help your employees be engaged!

Disqualified Coolidge mayor candidate part of transcript in Pinal election lawsuit
By SUZANNE ADAMS-OCKRASSA Staff Writer
Suzanne Adams
Dec 15, 2020 Updated Jan 5, 2021
FLORENCE — A former failed candidate for mayor of Coolidge was part of a transcript filed in a Pinal County lawsuit seeking to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Arizona.
A Pinal County woman filed as part of her lawsuit a partial transcript of a conversation she said she had with a man who claimed that ballots were picked up at a Phoenix airport and distributed to an election tabulation center, benefiting President-elect Joe Biden.
In a supplemental exhibit filed for a court hearing on Dec. 11, Staci Burk states that the recording is of a conversation she had with Scott Koch and Somer Tolley on Nov. 16 in her home. Burk states the recording was made with the voice memo feature on her phone after Koch allegedly visited her home to warn her that she could be putting herself in physical danger by investigating claims of a plane allegedly carrying illegal ballots into Phoenix. The people quoted in the transcript are labeled but no one in the transcript identifies themselves by name.
The transcript starts out in the middle of a discussion of a video Burk received that allegedly shows people loading something on a plane in Phoenix.
Koch states in the transcript that "I know nobody put anything on that plane. There were things unloaded from the plane, but nothing was loaded."
Burk asks what was unloaded from it.
According to the transcript, Koch replies that "Ballots were unloaded." He also allegedly states that the ballots were shipped through UPS and FedEx, with some ballots going to Maricopa County and some to Las Vegas. He also states, according to the transcript, that the plane was allegedly under the custody of the National Guard.
In the transcript, Koch also alleges that the person who took the video of the plane could be in physical danger from the group that allegedly sent the ballots.
He also states that President Donald Trump won the election, even in California.
The conversation in the transcript also talks about Three Percenters, a group that advocates for gun rights and that people should take a stand against any abuse or interference by the federal government in local affairs and makes a brief mention of "the new world order" and "the deep state." The New World Order is a conspiracy theory that believes a secret group of elites is trying to create a worldwide authoritarian government. The deep state is a conspiracy theory that a hidden level of government officials are really running the federal government and are trying to destroy the presidency of Donald Trump.
Burk states that a copy of the recording was provided to the Florence Police Department and Arizona Speaker of the House Rusty Bowers before the certification of the election.
Burk stated that she verified with Koch's employer Shawn Wilson at Mayhem Security Solutions that Koch is related to the Koch family, which is known for the political activities of the conservative brothers Charles and David Koch, and that Koch has U.S. Department of Defense security clearance, an airplane, airstrip access and is a pilot.
Burk stated in her evidence filing that Mayhem Security Solutions provided security at Arizona ballot tabulation centers and "staff was observed by multiple witnesses 'behind the line' at the Maricopa County tabulation centers."
However, Wilson told PinalCentral that Mayhem Security Solutions never provided security for ballot tabulation centers. He said his company only provided security for two media outlets, Al Jazeera and NBC Telemundo. He said he only confirmed to Burk that Koch worked for the company.
Koch ran for Coolidge mayor in 2018 but was disqualified from the ballot after signatures on his petition were challenged in court and some of the signatures were found to be from residents who were not registered to vote. At the time Koch said he plans to run for office again.
Burk's lawsuit against Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey and Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs was dismissed by a Pinal County judge on Tuesday. The lawsuit alleged that the state's election system had security flaws that allowed election workers and foreign countries to hack the election and swing it in favor of Biden and that poll watchers were unable to adequately monitor the signature verification process in Maricopa County.

Rayshad Lewis finds new home at Maryland
By Chris Hays |
Orlando Sentinel |
Rayshad Lewis talks about transferring from Utah State, viedo interview
ORLANDO — This is nothing new to Rayshad Lewis. He knows the task ahead of him. He's had to prove himself before.
The former Bishop Moore star, who helped lead the Hornets to the 2015 Class 5A state championship, has decided to transfer to Maryland after one year at Utah State. He had an impressive freshman season out west, but he just didn't feel like he fit in.
He said the Maryland staff quickly made him feel at ease.
"I just felt at home and very comfortable with the coaching staff, the offense and how I would fit in ... and their direction and plan for the program," Lewis said Monday.
Now he will be looking to prove he belongs in the Big Ten and he'll do it just down the road from the same stadium where his father used to wreak havoc on NFL offenses for 17 years.
The son of future Pro Football Hall of Famer Ray Lewis said he has no ill feelings toward the Utah State or its coaching staff.
"I want to thank everybody at Utah State, all of the coaches who helped me and supported me," said Rayshad Lewis, who was back visiting Bishop Moore last week. "Nothing against them, but at the end of the day, I just didn't necessarily feel like it was the greatest spot for me.
"I know people look at it and say, 'How could you throw away this great opportunity?' But it just wasn't a great opportunity for me, specifically, as far as everything that went on with it. There were plenty of things that fell into it, and all of those things were part of it. There wasn't really one big thing. Altogether, me living there and seeing myself evolving there … I just didn't see it."
You can take the boy out of Orlando, but you can't necessarily drop him in the middle of Utah.
"It's not real surprising that a kid from Orlando didn't fit in in Logan, Utah," Lewis smiled. "I don't necessarily have to be in Florida, but I just want to be in a program where I can feel more comfortable and I can relate to."
Sometimes people just aren't comfortable in their surroundings. Lewis wasn't comfortable.
"It was very difficult and this decision was never easy. There were plenty of back-and-forth moments and I couldn't just listen to everybody and what they were saying," Lewis said. "While I listened to them and took it all into consideration, everyone just left it all up to me. My parents were saying two different things and there were people leaning me this way and people leaning me that way, but once I got everybody's opinion that I thought was important … I just took it all in and made a decision for me and followed my heart.
"I just decided to make the move and look for someplace that fit me better as far as everything that goes into being a college athlete."
He's leaving Logan, Utah, but the Aggies coaching staff would have loved to see him stay. He saw his first full-time action on the offensive side of the ball as a receiver.
Lewis, who was mostly a defensive back in high school but wound up playing plenty of receiver to help his team during his senior year, was Utah State's No. 2 receiver with 40 catches for 476 yards and two touchdowns. Lewis also ran for 110 yards on 10 carries, scoring a 59-yard touchdown on one play. He ranked third on the team in all-purpose yardage.
"I was in a new position that I didn't play in high school, but I always look at it as me trying to be the best I can be, whether it be offense, defense or special teams," Lewis said. "I was just trying to prove I could be the best [receiver] I could be and I just looked at it as being a learning year.
"I had high expectations for myself and I always will, but I think it was a pretty good year."
Lewis, who is a bit bigger than he was in high school, now filling out at 5-foot-10, 175 pounds, will easily be labeled as a slot receiver as he looks to find his role at Maryland, but he doesn't see it that way.
"I see myself more as a receiver, not necessarily a slot receiver … just a playmaker at receiver," Lewis said.
Ah yes, a playmaker. That's what Lewis has always been. Like the touchdown on the post-corner route he ran against Crawfordville Wakulla in the state title game. That was a big-time play, made by a big-time player. While Rayshad Lewis might not be the biggest guy on the field, he certainly might have the biggest heart.
His dad has often told him so. "They cannot measure your heart," Ray Lewis has always said. Rayshad Lewis is the epitome of his father's philosophies.
After Rayshad Lewis signed a National Letter of Intent to play at Utah State last year, his dad was right there, telling everyone how his son was just like him. Nobody wanted Ray Lewis out of Lakeland Kathleen High School either, until Miami stepped in.
The elder Lewis made a name for himself right away at The U, tracking down ball carriers as viciously as anyone who ever played the game. He had a ferocity that carried over to the Baltimore Ravens.

That's the drive his son has. Bishop Moore coach Matt Hedrick once said, "No one will out-work Rayshad."
Rayshad intends to prove his coach is right. He'll have to sit out a year in observance of NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision transfer rules, but he's ready to roll.
People decide to transfer all of the time, and many times they end up yesterday's news. Former Boone star running back A.J. Turman left Georgia a year ago and is now a linebacker at FAU. Former West Orange quarterback Woody Barrett announced Monday that he, too, will be looking for a new home, transferring from Auburn. They're only looking to prove themselves at the next town down the road.
Lewis wants to do the same, even after having already proven himself in Utah. He's well aware of his task ahead.

that this stage of our fight to "rescue" Sekhemka and return him to a free public gallery is over.
rescue it is not going to be led by the Department of Culture, Media and Sports, Arts Council England or the Museums Association. These bodies have demonstrated no practical initiative or leadership at a time when we are faced by unaccountable elites who can close or reassign a collection from one part of the country to another (usually London) at will, and supposedly accountable politicians who are quite happy to ride rough shod over ethics and even legal questions, to cash in and destroy overnight collections, museums and galleries which have taken decades if not centuries to build up. With Arts Council England and the Museums Association ultimately toothless in the absence of either the legal tools or the corporate will to protect the nation's heritage it is up to us, ordinary people, to try to stop the cultural rot before all trace of the past disappears and with that the chance to show our children what we can be and what wonders we can create.
In that belief there is hope. All over the country people are fighting back against the attempts to create cultural wastelands in the name of austerity and efficiency and we feel that our experience from the Sekhemka campaign would benefit these various campaigns. For that reason we intend constituting ourselves into a new campaign group and return to the fight.
Sekhemka was a battle, not the entire war, which is far from over.
