TBS AND TNT TAP KRISTINA EDWARDS AS VICE PRESIDENT OF UNSCRIPTED SERIES AND SPECIALS
Posted by By RGN staff at 25 March, at 23 : 06 PM Print
LOS ANGELES, MARCH 25, 2019 –TBS and TNT, a division of WarnerMedia Entertainment, today announced a key new hire: Former Facebook Watch and MTV executive Kristina Edwards takes the role of vice president of unscripted series TBS and TNT. Based in Los Angeles, Edwards reports into Michael Bloom, senior vice president of unscripted series and live programming for TBS and TNT and will work alongside Jenny Ramirez, vice president of unscripted, and Michelle Byars, director of unscripted.
Edwards hire comes on the heels of the successful relaunch of nonfiction programming for both networks, including James Corden's Drop the Mic and Snoop Dogg Presents The Joker's Wild. Both highly successful series debuted as the #2 and #3 new cable comedies in 2017 and continue to rank among the top 40 cable comedy series. The upcoming, live event series, Chasing the Cure anchored by award-winning journalist Ann Curry, further expands the networks' slate of breakthrough, audience-driven programming. As a first-of-its-kind initiative, the groundbreaking enterprise taps into the worldwide phenomenon of medial crowdsourcing via television and multi-platform experiences in service of patients everywhere.
"Kristina has distinguished herself with a successful track record of uncompromisingly bold and innovative series in addition to having an eye for creative talent," said Bloom. "Not only is she driven by her passion for creative ideas, but she also understands how to evolve the content experience according to the needs of brands and audiences alike, which is also inherent in the way we create our shows," Bloom added. "I've known Kristina for years, love her energy and experience. We are really excited to welcome her to our team."
Edwards joins TBS and TNT from Facebook Watch where working in unscripted development, she was responsible for creative oversight and managing non-scripted projects for the platform. Edwards also helped shepherd to series premium titles such as Will Smith's BucketList (Facebook Watch's biggest launch to date), Kelly Ripa and Rachel Harris' Head and Faces and 365 Days of Love with Sofia Vergara. She also assisted on developing The Real World reboot, both domestic and international versions.
Prior to Facebook Watch, Edwards served as a development consultant for Fuse, where she worked on unscripted and scripted development and was recognized for helping to modernize programming. Edwards previously served as vice president of programing and development at MTV Networks from 2010-2017, where she was instrumental in rebranding the network as a millennial destination, while leading the development and oversight of a wide variety of impactful series. While at MTV, Edwards led more than 100 hours of current programming across various unscripted content formats, while supervising the network's full pipeline of development and current unscripted series including Ridiculousness, America's Best Dance Crew, Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory and Wonderland LIVE.

Today's guest post has been contributed by the Dominican Sisters of Hope. These are new friends of mine, who share the longings of my heart for justice and restoration that so many of you share too. I hope you'll join me in giving them a warm welcome here at the Parade, and take some time to check out and be encouraged by their website as well!
We all know that more than a million people escaped war and torture this year; they are refugees. (Please don't tune me out just yet! Stay with me…) We are all also aware of some folks espousing the shutting down of our borders because people are fleeing war and violence. We witness attacks of varying degrees of violence, from bombing shelters and mosques to motorcycle suicide raids in Afghanistan to vulgar and violent degrading words of racism, homophobia, xenophobia, and much more.
All of us call ourselves humans. Many of us call ourselves Christian. And, because we call ourselves Christian, we celebrate Christmas. But, what does Christmas really mean?
We know it's about new life, about a particular birth that forever changed the history of humanity. Yet, how easy it is for some of us to forget that the birth of Jesus occurred in a stable because there was no room "in the inn." Joseph and Mary were seeking REFUGE and found it among the animals in a stable. Later on, this holy family would be REFUGEES themselves, hiding and fleeing the ruling party who feared Jesus, and so ordered the death of all young male babies.
I invite each of us to step back from all the haste and hustle and bustle of this Christmas Season to reflect on whether we really do believe in Christmas! Because if we really do, then we must live as if our lives reflected Christmas in what we say and what we do. I'm not implying that the hustle and bustle is not life-giving and joyful, but, somehow, Christmas has to take root in us on a deeper level, as well.
Mary, a woman, a mother of the first century, lived on the margins. So, too, do many mothers today. Mary is one of the many 'Marys' of our world, all the women and children of our world who suffer from war and violence, who suffer from abuse and poverty, all these women and children live on the margins of our so-called "civilized world" today. My heart wrestles with the question of why so many still live on the margins while so few live in relative peace and hope and harmony.
Is there still no room in the inn?
When will justice be birthed out of the life of Jesus? What will be the piece of the Christmas story, the Christmas message, that will be etched on our own hearts this Christmas?
Anthony Padavano reminds us, "Nothing worthwhile in life is sudden. We wait for birth. We wait for love. We wait for life- to reveal its meaning, year by year, experience by experience. Waiting is the law of life, the measure of love." And so it is. Jesus waits for us to live life by a measure of love. Jesus waits for us to make room in the inn of our world, in the inn of our hearts.
I'm certain that the birth of Jesus came with a scream of anguish by his mother, Mary. Somehow, I believe it is Jesus who now screams with anguish, with pain, as he watches a world that still hasn't figured out a way to make room in the inn.
From the margins of Bethlehem to the war torn regions of our world, to our own living rooms, we are called to make room in the inn! We are called to be living witnesses to the Jesus we say we believe in. We are called to celebrate a season of HOPE and BIRTH and JOY and PEACE. We are called to celebrate a God, a baby, who became vulnerable for us, so that we might bear love to the world. Yes, we are called to make room in the inn.
I invite all of us to truly celebrate the gift of Christmas and to "birth" Jesus again in our hearts. Christmas calls and invites us to make room in the inn. Two-thousand years later, as we sit on the cusp of another new year, isn't it about time to make room? May each and every one of us, as well as all those who don't have the comforts we do, celebrate the gift of new life and a HOPE renewed from the blessings of Christmas.

If the prospect of a well-paying job as an economist, analyst, or planner in the private or public sectors appeals to you, Illinois State University offers a very special graduate degree in Applied Economics that you should know about.
Our program emphasizes Applied Economics with a curriculum that links basic economic theory and statistical techniques to real-world problems faced by decision makers. Students completing the degree are qualified to seek employment in management as professional economists or research analysts. The program is also well suited for individuals who wish to return to school to obtain a graduate degree in a business-related discipline for the purpose of career advancement.
While the curriculum is structured as a terminal degree in applied economics, many graduates have advanced to doctoral-level programs in economics and in related disciplines.

A: To extract the texts from the Referenzcode column you can use list comprehension and you can use either of the following locator strategies:

*

*Using CSS_SELECTOR:
driver.get("https://www.amazon.in/")
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input#twotabsearchtextbox"))).send_keys("protein" + Keys.RETURN)
print([my_elem.text for my_elem in driver.find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "span[data-component-type='s-search-results'] span.a-size-base-plus.a-color-base.a-text-normal")])

*Using XPATH:
driver.get("https://www.amazon.in/")
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input#twotabsearchtextbox"))).send_keys("protein" + Keys.RETURN)
print([my_elem.text for my_elem in driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, "//span[@data-component-type='s-search-results']//span[@class='a-size-base-plus a-color-base a-text-normal']")])

*Note : You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt Fight for Survival in New Passengers Trailer
By Joe Allen | November 23, 2016 | 4:32pm
Photo by Jaimie Trueblood/Sony Pictures Movies Video Passengers
If there was ever a movie designed to print money, it's Passengers. Starring Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence, the film follows the pair after they wake up 30 years into a 120-year space voyage and are forced to fight for their survival as the ship falls apart. In a new trailer for the film, we see just how perilous that fight may be.
Directed by Morten Tyldum (The Imitation Game), Passengers also stars Michael Sheen as an android bartender, and Andy Garcia and Laurence Fishburne in more mysterious roles. The mystery is hinted at in the trailer: "There's a reason we woke up early," Pratt says.
The new trailer is a reminder that there are at least a few more blockbusters to come in 2016. Though it seems like a surefire box-office smash, Passengers is also a big gamble, costing more than $100 million with no pre-existing source material to guarantee ticket sales. Casting Pratt and Lawrence is certainly a stellar start, but it's no guarantee. We won't know whether Passengers is a success until it hits theaters on Dec. 21.

Hard Rock Confirms No Plans to Close The Mirage Currently
Tagged: close, confirms, Hard, Mirage, Plans, Rock
The leading globally recognized entertainment and hospitality company, Hard Rock International (HRI), made an important step toward acquiring the iconic hotel and casino The Mirage from MGM Resorts International earlier this week. This happened after the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB), the regulator in the state, issued a recommendation for the acquisition of the property. Shortly after, HRI dismissed local reports claiming it plans to cease the operation of The Mirage.
HRI Dismisses Claims The Mirage Will Close
In a deal for a whopping $1.08 billion, HRI bought The Mirage from MGM Resorts. The initial deal dates back to December last year. However, earlier this week, the NGCB recommended the Nevada Gaming Commission to approve Hard Rock's licensing and the acquisition of The Mirage.
This marked an important step forward for Hard Rock. Still, the acquisition will likely close by the end of the year, after a meeting set for December 22 when the Nevada Gaming Commission is expected to grant final approval sealing the billion-dollar acquisition deal.
With plans to acquire The Mirage, HRI unveiled details regarding an overhaul of the venue. Still, in a statement released on Thursday, Hard Rock explained that it doesn't have plans to close The Mirage at this time. The leading operator explained that the redevelopment of the venue may be initiated late in 2023 or in 2024.
"There are no current plans to cease operation of The Mirage and any reporting to the contrary is inaccurate. Yesterday, the Nevada Gaming Control Board unanimously recommended to the Nevada Gaming Commission that it approve Hard Rock International's licensure and acquisition of The Mirage Hotel and Casino,"
reads a statement released by Hard Rock International
The Company Plans Revamping of the Property
HRI reminded that during a meeting on December 7 with the NGCB, the company's Chairman, James Allen confirmed that at the current moment, the company doesn't plan to close the property. With that in mind, Allen did not rule out the option of a temporary closure at some point in mid-2024.
"We do not have definitive plans to close the property at this time, but for full transparency, that could be an option a year and a half down the road."
James Allen, chairman of Hard Rock International
Upon closing the deal and the start of the expansion and revamping of The Mirage, HRI is planning to create a new iconic venue. The company plans to increase the number of slots from 800 to 2,000 and also increase the table games from 51 to 212. Still, Hard Rock acknowledged that further details regarding the transformation of the resort can be expected late next year.

I didn't think this was a good show. Then again, I can't remember the last time I thoroughly enjoyed an episode of TNA Impact. Perhaps the only nice segment for me was the ongoing saga between Jeff Jarrett, Karen Jarrett, and Kurt Angle. Angle finally made mention of a "mistress" that would love to meet Karen. This should get pretty interesting as the events unfold each week.


I think it is fun to go for a walk. Of course I remember the news quite well. Gale was there before anyone else. The notorious rebel was ultimately captured and confined to jail. Panacea asked Mac to call him after dinner. Lenny didn't want to think about the situation. It's just a cover. They're being evacuated. I don't know what to do. I'm just following her. He cut a brilliant figure.
She washed the dishes herself. My lawyer has advised me to cooperate. More than five-hundred were wounded. We are against war. I knew from the beginning that you never really loved me. I sense that I can trust you. There are no guarantees in life. I hope we get there soon. Maybe we won't have to wait. She was down on her husband.
Sometimes because of their atmospheres and sometimes because of the gases which surround them. Irvin says this is what he really needs. I'm not suggesting that. This is extremely hard for him. There are six apples in the box. His theory is based on many facts. Do you want me to learn English for the competition on Wednesday? This remark is not applicable to you. The composition has been written hurriedly, so it's probably full of errors. I don't know what she thinks about me.
I wanted your opinion. Dimitry needed water. Don't squeeze any more into the trunk. You might be able to trade your truck for a tractor. Gary's conscious. Because of the famine, the cattle starved to death. Suwandi has been in prison. Turn the knob. Everyone knew them. Was it useful?
Deal the cards. I want to show you something, Jakob. We'll start whenever you are ready. We're tidy. Who would want to hire Ji? The two elder brothers arrived first with their wives, beautiful, bright, and cheerful, and dressed in rich garments. I managed to get rid of him. My father always sent me to school when I was little. I ate an Omurice. Who's your favorite reality TV star?
Gold is heavier than silver. We'll be here all day. I knew you wouldn't disappoint me. We won't need any help until Monday. I thought it might be better to tell you now instead of later. Where is my sentence? I am closing the garage. I spoke to Alvin about what Lars did. Alceste's family is eating with proper manners. What do you think the best way to do it is?
I received a lovely note from her this morning and it totally made my day! Books are children of the brain. They fought for freedom. A man walked past him. He came back at 5 o'clock. His nasty face doesn't scare me even a bit. We have an English class today. When was the last time you took a shower? I can't blame you for dreaming. I don't want to be married to you anymore.
I had intended to go with Ssi. These stories are very interesting to me. They look busy today. It is important for you to read many books. I saw them take it. I want to kiss my girlfriend! It's still a bad idea. Can I help you at all? I was very happy about it. The devil is not so black as he is painted.
Take a look around you. Toerless asked Kit to quit her job. Don't forget what I told you yesterday. To live is good, but it's good to live even better! Sanjeev doesn't seem to need much assistance now. I was going to do that the day before yesterday. Jeanne isn't mad at you. The tree was so unhappy, that it took no pleasure in the warm sunshine, the birds, or the rosy clouds that floated over it morning and evening. I want a challenge. On many occasions I do not agree with him.
Welcome back. We missed you. We're even. I learned much about astronomy from him. I'm genuinely concerned with Triantaphyllos's health. What with the heat and the humidity, I didn't sleep well. You betrayed my trust. At last he found out the truth. The ship went off. I think I just heard somebody scream. Sorry, I didn't notice that.

American Small Batch Whiskey
The term "Small Batch" has never been properly defined, though it always refers to American whiskeys which have been distilled in limited quantity. The most commonplace meaning of the term is for a bourbon or rye whiskey which is distilled in quantities of around 1,000 gallons or less (typically fewer than 20 barrels), from a mash bill of under "200 bushels of grain". The result is almost always more complex, and small batch whiskeys are usually destined for connoisseurs.

Tropical Nature, and Other Essays
a perpetual summer, and were it not for variations in the quantity of rain, in the direction and strength of the winds, and in the amount of sunshine, accompanied by corresponding slight changes in the development of vegetable and animal life, the monotony of nature would be extreme.
In the present chapter it is proposed to describe the chief peculiarities which distinguish the equatorial from the temperate climate, and to explain the causes of the difference between them,-causes which are by no means of so simple a nature as are usually imagined.
The three great divisions of the earth—the tropical, the temperate, and the frigid zones, may be briefly defined as the regions of uniform, of variable, and of extreme physical conditions respectively. They are primarily determined by the circumstance of the earth's axis not being perpendicular to the plane in which it moves round the sun; whence it follows that during one half of its revolution the north pole, and during the other half the south pole, is turned at a considerable angle towards the source of light and heat. This inclination of the axis on which the earth rotates is usually defined by the inclination of the equator to the plane of the orbit, termed the obliquity of the ecliptic. The amount of this obliquity is 23} degrees, and this measures the extent on each side of the equator of what are called the tropics, because within these limits the sun becomes vertical at noon twice a year, and at the extreme limit once a year, while beyond this distance it is never vertical. It will be evident, however, from the nature of the case, that the two lines which mark the limits of the geographical "tropics" will not define any abrupt
change of climate or physical conditions, such as characterise the tropical and temperate zones in their full development. There will be a gradual transition from one to the other, and in order to study them separately and contrast their special features we must only take into account the portion of each in which these are most fully exhibited. For the temperate zone we may take all countries situated between 359 and 60° of latitude, which in Europe will include every place between Christiana and Algiers, the districts further south forming a transitional belt in which temperate and tropical features are combined. In order to study the special features of tropical nature, on the other hand, it will be advisable to confine our attention mainly to that portion of the globe which extends for about twelve degrees on each side of the equator, in which all the chief tropical phenomena dependent on astronomical causes are most fully manifested, and which we may distinguish as the
equatorial zone." In the debateable ground between these two well contrasted belts local causes have a preponderating influence ; and it would not be difficult to point out localities within the temperate zone of our maps, which exhibit all the chief characteristics of tropical nature to a greater degree than other localities which are, as regards geographical position, tropical.
Temperature of the Equatorial Zone.—The most characteristic, as it is the most important feature in the physical conditions of the great equatorial zone is the wonderful uniformity of its temperature, alike throughout the changes of day and night, and from one part of the year to another. As a general rule, the greatest heat of the day does not exceed 90° or 91°
Fahr., while it seldom falls during the night below 74° Fahr. It has been found by hourly observations carried on for three years at the meteorological observatory established by the Dutch government at Batavia, that the extreme range of temperature in that period was only 27° Fahr., the maximum being 95o and the minimum 68°. But this is, of course, very much beyond the usual daily range of the thermometer, which is, on the average, only a little more than 11° Fahr. ; being 12:6° in September when it is greatest, and only 8-1° in January, when it is least.
Batavia, being situated between six and seven degrees south of the equator, may be taken as affording a fair example of the climate of the equatorial zone ; though, being in an island, it is somewhat less extreme than many continental localities. Observations made at Para, which is continental and close to the equator, agree
howcver very closely with those at Batavia ; but at the latter place all the observations were made with extreme care and with the best instruments, and are therefore preferred as being thoroughly trustworthy.? The accompanying diagram, showing by curves the monthly means of the highest and lowest daily temperatures at Batavia and London, is very instructive ; more especially when we consider that the maximum of temperature is by no means remarkably different in the two places, 90° Fahr. being sometimes reached with us and not being often very much exceeded at Batavia.
1 "Observations Made at the Magnetical and Meteorological Observatory at Batavia. Published by order of the Government of Netherlands India. Vol. I. Meteorological, from Jan. 1866 to Dec. 1868; and Magnetical, from July 1867 to June 1870. By Dr. P. A. Bergsma. Batavia, 1871." This fine work is entirely in English.
Causes of the Uniform High Temperature near the Equator.—It is popularly supposed that the uniform high temperature of the tropics is sufficiently explained by the greater altitude, and therefore greater heatingpower, of the midday sun ; but a little consideration will show that this alone by no means accounts for the phenomenon. The island of Java is situated in from six and a half to eight and a half degrees of south latitude, and in the month of June the sun's altitude at noon will not be more than from 58° to 60°. In the same month at London, which is fifty-two and a half degrees of north latitude, the sun's noonday altitude is 62°. But besides this difference of altitude in favour of London there is a still more important difference ; for in Java the day is only about eleven and a half hours long in the month of June, while at London it is sixteen hours long, so that the total amount of sun-heat received by the earth must be then very much greater at London than at Batavia. Yet at the former place the mean temperature of the day and night is under 60° Fahr., while in the latter place it is 80° Fahr., the daily maximum being on the average in the one case about 68° and in the other about 89°.
Neither does the temperature at the same place depend upon the height of the sun at noon ; for at Batavia it is nearly vertical during October and February, but these are far from being the hottest months, which are May, June, and September ; while December, January, and February are the coldest months, although then the sun attains nearly its greatest altitude. It is evident, therefore, that a difference of 30° in the altitude of the sun at noon has no apparent influence in raising the temperature of a place near the equator, and we must


o.k REALLY? a million dollars for a 900 s.f apartment at 70th and Granville?
Whistler RE prices and rents and have been declining for 7 years now. Maybe those wages do matter?
Another typical idiot who posts here but has no idea what is actually going on.
Wrong. There are less millionaires in China than in Canada and only a fraction of both countries millionaires combined when compared to the US. The US bubble still popped with all those millionaires in the US and an endless waiting list who want to immigrate.
A quick search on Expedia shows hotel rooms in Whistler Village going for under $159 CAD per night in Feb which is their high season. I wonder what they will go for in the summer? Just came back for Santa Monica and paid $400 USD per night for a 4 star hotel during low season. Houses in Whistler and Santa Monica are about the same price.
Although the real estate market in most of Canada has long left the financial crisis behind, Whistler is still picking up the pieces. While Greater Vancouver's average housing prices have surged 32 per cent since 2007, Whistler's property prices have tumbled an average of 23.5 per cent from their peak six years ago.
You really are an idiot. It's almost as if you are baiting me. I mean no one can be so stupid as to post an article from Sept 2013 to address the current market of anything can they?
As far as Whistler not being Santa Monica? Why there? Its not Paris or Burns Lake either and last I checked hotel rooms are not rents unless you live in them.
Police say the thieves are getting away with large amounts of money, jewelry and designer handbags. None of the homes ransacked had residents currently living in them.
Easy come, easy go… Who cares, stolen stuff just changed hands.
I think if I was buying a vacation property I would consider hotel rental rates. In Santa Monica buying may make sense. Whistler it clearly does not. Especially in a place with a 4 month season. Hotel rooms will be going for $60 per night in the off season which is 8 months of the year in Whistler. With current hotel rental rates in Whistler only an idiot would buy there. Sorry if you didn't do your research before buying. Don't blame me.

Senate Ag panel easily approves Perdue for Agriculture Secretary
03/30/17 12:03 PM By Philip Brasher
KEYWORDS cabinet confirmation Debbie Stabenow kirsten gillibrand nominee Pat Roberts Sonny Perdue tom nassif Trump usda
WASHINGTON, March 30, 2017 – The Senate Agriculture Committee easily approved Sonny Perdue's nomination to become USDA secretary, raising hopes that the former Georgia governor could finally be installed at the Agriculture Department within several weeks.
The committee, which gathered for a brief meeting in an ornate room off the Senate floor Thursday morning, OK'd Perdue's nomination on a voice vote without any debate.
But Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., insisted on being recorded as voting "no," to the dismay of Chairman Pat Roberts, R-Kan., who had hoped a unanimous vote would discourage Democrats from using Senate rules to delay a floor vote.
"We really need a really strong voice down there" at USDA, "especially on trade," Roberts said after the vote.
The top Democrat on the committee, Debbie Stabenow of Michigan, said Perdue shares her "commitment to support American agriculture and strengthen our small towns and rural communities. I look forward to working with Governor Perdue as we write the 2018 farm bill."
Stabenow has told Agri-Pulse that she is working to get a floor vote as soon as possible.
Roberts said he still holds out hope that Democrats would agree to allow a floor vote next week.
But the vote could slip into May. The Senate will have little time to take up the nomination in April. Next week will be devoted to debating Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch, and then Congress will be on Easter recess for two weeks followed by a debate over a spending measure to avert a government shutdown. The continuing resolution that is funding the government expires April 28.
"Without Democrat cooperation, it will be tough to move quickly," said Don Stewart, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
Roberts tried without success to talk Gillibrand out of voicing a "no" vote.
After the vote, she told Roberts that she was concerned about how Perdue would handle the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps. SNAP "is my thing," Gillibrand told the chairman. She went on, "Sonny better protect them better than he did in his state."
She told reporters that Perdue increased paperwork and work requirements for SNAP beneficiaries in Georgia. "Food stamps is a really important issue in my state. We have a lot of families that are struggling to feed their children, and it's one of my highest priorities being on the Ag committee."
Perdue is one of three Cabinet nominations still pending along with Robert Lighthizer, Trump's pick to become U.S. trade representative, and Labor nominee Alexander Acosta.
Lighthizer's nomination has been delayed because of insistence by Democrats that he needs a waiver to join USTR because of work he did for foreign clients in the 1980s and early 1990s. Republicans contend the waiver is unnecessary. Acosta's nomination was approved Thursday by the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.
Former Democratic agriculture secretaries Tom Vilsack and Dan Glickman announced their support for Perdue soon after he was nominated. He also has been endorsed by more than 600 national, state and local farm organizations, agribusiness companies, banking and crop insurance interests and conservation groups.
Farm groups said Thursday that they were eager to see Perdue confirmed by the full Senate.
During his confirmation hearing March 23, Perdue promised that he would be a "tenacious advocate and fighter" for farmers on trade and other issues and said he would seek to address requests for help from dairy and cotton producers ahead of the next farm bill. He also sought to distance himself Trump's budget proposals and expressed support for easing financial restrictions on trade with Cuba.
"Sonny Perdue is well qualified to lead USDA, and well thought of by those involved in the daily work of agriculture and food production," the National Turkey Federation said in a statement.
Tom Nassif, president and CEO of the Western Growers Association, said Perdue used his confirmation hearing to demonstrate "the type of leadership and commitment to agriculture that secured our endorsement more than two months ago" when he was first nominated by President Trump.
"We are confident he will act as a tireless advocate for the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the industry it serves, working to preserve and enhance support for department priorities vital to the sustainability of farmers across the country."
The Environmental Working Group issued a statement saying it was confident Stabenow "will be watching closely to make sure Mr. Perdue serves the interests of taxpayers, rural residents and family farmers – not his own business interests."
Perdue nomination as ag secretary clears one more hurdle

The Rocky Mountain Fuel Company was a coal mining company located in Colorado, operating mines in Louisville, Lafayette, and other locations northwest of Denver. The company also operated mines in Las Animas, Routt, Garfield and Gunnison counties. During the 1930s, the company was the second-largest producer of coal by volume in the state of Colorado. However, the company was severely impacted by the Great Depression, declining productivity of local coal deposits, and the increased popularity of natural gas, and went bankrupt in 1944.

Founded in the 1870s as Goodridge & Marfell by Henry Goodridge (1832 - ?) and Erie, Colorado pioneer Hiram Marfell (1840-1904), both immigrants from England, the coal dealership was incorporated in 1890 as Stewart Coal & Lime Company, located in Denver.
Stewart Coal & Lime Company was purchased in 1893 by the dashing former Nebraska farmer Edgar Edmund Shumway (1862-1914), who launched his coal dealership Shumway & Company in 1891. Shumway's partner in the purchase was Joseph Mitchell Jr. (1847-1921), owner of the New Mitchell mine in Lafayette, Colorado. Mitchell's father, Joseph Sr., was the superintendent at the mine and lived in Lafayette.

In July 1894, Shumway and Mitchell changed the name of the company from Stewart Coal & Lime Company to Rocky Mountain Fuel Company, operating at 1609 Curtis in Denver. Fifteen years later and owning eight Southern Colorado and Western Slope coal mines in Rockvale, Sopris, Trinidad, Maitland and Cardiff, E.E. Shumway — sans Joseph Mitchell Jr. — incorporated under the laws of Wyoming as Rocky Mountain Fuel Company of Wyoming in 1910.

In October 1911, RM Fuel purchased the Northern Coal and Coke Company for $5 million from owners F.F. Struby, G.A. Easterly and C.B. Kountze. At its peak in 1898, Northern Coal Co. executives boasted assets exceeding $30 million. RM Fuel borrowed $1 million and raised another $3.8 million via a bond sale to purchase Northern Coal assets that included 2,500 acres of coal land, nine coal mines, several company stores and Denver coal yards. The mines purchased included the Simpson, Rex, Industrial, Vulcan and Nonpareil mines in Boulder County and the coal rights associated with or formerly held by Empire Coal Company, Aguilar Coal and Mining Company, Louisville Coal Mining Company, Imperial Coal Mining Company and Union Pacific Coal Company. The sale also included 214 residential lots in Louisville, 25 residential lots in Lafayette, 1,150 pit cars, 80 air mining machines, 26 horses, 29 wagons and 140 mules.

Company President E.E. Shumway died in 1914 from injuries sustained while investigating the aftermath of the disastrous 1913 explosion that killed 37 miners at the Coryell Vulcan mine in Garfield County. David W. Brown (1860-1922), who joined RM Fuel in about 1900, succeeded Shumway.

Company financial statements from 1920 show that RM Fuel and its nine-store mercantile division, the Rocky Mountain Stores Company, was managed by D. W. Brown and had over $12 million in assets, $3.5 million in debt and employed 845 people. The company was producing one million tons of coal each year.

John J. Roche (1848-1927), a lawyer and banker by trade, interviewed for a position at Rocky Mountain Fuel Company in 1906, then moved his family from Nebraska to Denver in 1907 to join RM Fuel, replacing company Secretary-Treasurer H.E. Stewart. Roche eventually became Vice-President and Treasurer of the company, and took over management of RM Fuel after the death of D.W. Brown in June 1922. The largest stockholder in the company, Roche died in 1927 and left an $128,000 estate.

The company is notable among the many coal mine operators in the same region at the time for its leadership by Josephine Roche. She inherited a minority stock ownership from her father upon his death in 1927, becoming vice president of the company in 1928 and president by 1929. Roche was a dedicated believer in labor unions, and soon after becoming president she invited the United Mine Workers of America back to Rocky Mountain Fuel Company's mines, offering top pay and taking actions to repair labor-management relations. This was to the great chagrin of fellow mine owners, who broke the unions in 1914 after years of intense and often violent disputes, culminating in events such as the Columbine Mine and Ludlow Massacres. Roche's pro-labor policies, however, were effective - within a few years, the company's productivity per worker was the best in the state. After leaving the company in 1934 to enter politics, Roche returned in 1937, but even with the active support of her workers she was unable to save the company, which folded in 1944. The company was ordered by bankruptcy court to liquidate assets and all mines ceased operation but the liquidation was not completed. Roche continued in control of the reorganized company and the remaining assets and moved to Washington, D.C. Roche became president of Rocky Mountain Fuel Company in 1950 and maintained control of the company's non-liquidated assets until her death in 1976.

John R. Lawson, unionist and United Mine Workers of America leader during the 1903 Cripple Creek strike and 1913-14 Coalfield War, served as vice president of the company from 1927 to 1939.

Still holding valuable land, water rights and mineral rights, the RM Fuel experienced a resurgence of sorts in the 1970s under direction of Gerald "Jerry" R. Armstrong, who was RM Fuel president from 1973 to 2006.

Charlotte Brontë's Unfinished Novels: Emma
September 29, 2018 October 8, 2018 brontebabeblog
Charlotte Brontë is best remembered as the author of Jane Eyre (1847), a literary masterpiece and quite possibly my favourite novel of all time. In her lifetime she also published two other novels, Shirley (1849) and Villette (1853). Another novel, The Professor, was published posthumously in 1857 after being rejected by publishers a decade earlier. Prior to this in 1846, Poems by Charlotte and her sisters, Emily and Anne Brontë, appeared under the pseudonyms Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell. Readers of my blog will know of Charlotte's literary apprenticeship during her youth and early adulthood when she spent over a decade writing about her fantasy world of Glass Town and Angria. However, many people remain unaware of the fragments Charlotte composed following her abandonment of Angria in 1839. Whilst some of these are arguably recycled aspects of Angria, such as Ashworth, others written towards the end of her life are more puzzling and tantalising. Emma is one of these pieces.
Over the years many critics and readers have pointed to a lack of literary activity on Charlotte's part following her courtship and eventual marriage to Arthur Bell Nicholls between 1852 and 1854. It must be stressed that there is no evidence to suggest that Nicholls interfered with Charlotte's writing (it was, after all, her primary source of income), however, it is evident that Charlotte began to slow down. This does seem strange especially when one has knowledge of the vast amount of writing she produced in her youth. It is possible that Charlotte did write more during this period, and that it simply did not survive, however, I'm personally inclined to think she didn't. The reason for this may well have been her focus on her marriage and her determination to make it succeed rather than any direct interference from Nicholls.
We know from her surviving correspondence that Charlotte did not immediately fall in love with Arthur, but she certainly became fond of him in due course, writing on 26th Decemeber 1854 that he "is certainly my dear boy, and he is dearer to me today than he was six months ago." Was it love though? That's a question for another piece. Charlotte's friend and biographer Elizabeth Gaskell also seems to have disliked Nicholls, however, she wasn't fond of Patrick Brontë either, but fortunately time has righted her negative depiction of the Brontë patriarch. Ellen Nussey, a close friend of Charlotte's shared Gaskell's bad view of Nicholls, once writing of "that wicked man who was the death of dear Charlotte." Others such as another friend of Charlotte's, Mary Taylor, and the servants at the parsonage defended Nicholls, however, many people view him as being responsible for Charlotte's lack of literary activity during their courtship and marriage.
That is not to say that Charlotte neglected her storytelling abilities completely during this time. Willie Ellin was begun in 1853, followed by Emma which is barely more than a fragment. It remained incomplete following Charlotte's death in March 1855. Although it is a less substantial offering than other unfinished novels such as Charles Dickens' The Mystery of Edwin Drood or Jane Austen's Sanditon, it too has a great deal of potential. Unfortunately, the manuscript of Emma is now lost, however, it has appeared in print several times since Charlotte's death. Sir James Kay Shuttleworth of Gawthorpe Hall in Lancashire was an acquaintance of Charlotte's and he acquired the rights to Emma in 1856. It was initially published four years later in the April 1860 edition of the Cornhill Magazine. An introduction was penned by William Makepeace Thackeray, author of Vanity Fair, and a talent Charlotte very much admired (she dedicated the second edition of Jane Eyre to him). In the introduction, Thackeray praises Charlotte and recalls their initial meeting in London as well as her "trembling little frame" that housed "an independent, indomitable spirit" and "extraordinary keenness of vision." He could almost be describing Jane Eyre here. Thackeray also takes care to present Nicholls in a more flattering light than Gaskell, portraying him as a loving husband who encouraged his wife's gift as they sat by the fire together. It seems like Gaskell, Thackeray too couldn't resist straying too far from his novel writing background when documenting Charlotte's life.
The Narrative
Emma is narrated by a wealthy widow named Mrs Chalfont. Seemingly wealthy heiress, Matilda Fitzgibbon, arrives at a struggling school for girls run by the Misses Wilcox. Although Matilda is solitary and somewhat anti-social after being delivered to the school by her father, Mr. Fitzgibbon, she receives preferential treatment from Miss Wilcox, angering the other boarders. One girl in particular, Diana, can't abide this favouritism and storms out of Miss Wilcox's presence while she is entertaining Mr. Ellin one night. Miss Wilcox does not particularly like Matilda and is inclined to stop her preferential treatment of her, however, Matilda's fine clothing and the gifts she receives changes her mind. As the Christmas holidays approach, Miss Wilcox attempts to contact Matilda's father to arrange her trip home, however, she is dismayed when her correspondence is returned having been undelivered and unopened. Mr. Ellin, a character re-used from Charlotte's previous attempt at writing, Willie Ellin, is a good-natured figure who offers to get to the bottom of the mystery surrounding Mr. Fitzgibbon. On his return he announces that there is no trace of Fitzgibbon or his manor house. An angry Miss Wilcox demands answers from Matilda but she is silent and falls into a swoon. Ellin protects Matilda from the wrath of Miss Wilcox once it has been revealed that the man who called himself her father has disappeared without a trace, and unfortunately this is where the narrative ends.
Connections to Other Works
You can see just how much potential Emma has: an abandoned child, a mystery, a school, and social class issues. This is a solid and plot-driven piece with characters you have already warmed to or been intrigued by by the time Emma is cut short. Like Edwin Drood, there is a mystery at its heart that I could potentially become obsessed with and attempt to piece together by examining Charlotte's other works and fragments.
Charlotte was no stranger to setting her writing in schools, however, with the exception of Jane Eyre, these schools are foreign schools. Unlike Jane Eyre, however, this is not a bad school, just a struggling one, but like Jane, Matilda is alone, friendless, and poor. The jealous school girls reminded me of the pupils in The Professor, and Miss Wilcox brought to mind Mademoiselle Zoraïde Reuter, and consequently, Wilcox's treatment of Matilda made me think of Reuter's relationship with Frances Henri. The incident where Matilda sleepwalks like an apparition also brought to mind Bertha from Jane Eyre when she creeps into Jane's room and destroys her wedding dress. I also loved Mrs Chalfont's use of the term "Reader" which was a term famously used in Jane Eyre but which is also used in both Charlotte and Branwell's Glass Town and Angrian stories.
Emma's "Mr. E" who takes tea with the ladies and seems to be pining after Miss Wilcox also initially reminded me of another Mr. E from another Emma. I am of course talking about Mr. Elton from Jane Austen's 1815 novel of the same name, Emma. Unlike Mr. Elton though, Mr. Ellin's kind treatment of Matilda suggests he is more of a genuinely benevolent figure. In his introduction to the Alan Sutton edition pictured above, Tom Winnifrith also compares Emma to Frances Hodgson Burnett's A Little Princess (1905), and it is certainly possibly that it could have been inspired by Brontë's unfinished piece about an heiress, her mysterious past, and her missing father.
There have also been two attempts made to finish Emma by different authors. Constance Savery produced a completed version in 1980 and more recently, Emma Boylan published Emma Brown in 2003. If you can track down Brontë's original version though, it's well worth a read despite its short length.

It would have been so lovely to see how her writing would have matured, in time. Or how her experience in marriage would have influenced her writing. I'm sure I could have gained some insight from her lol. Thank you for bringing these to light, however.

I think she may have even bettered Jane Eyre had she lived longer. Villette was another masterpiece but I really think she had another exceptional piece in her even after her marriage.
I very much enjoyed reading this post as I had not heard of this Emma before. Thank you.
It seems to be the last attempt Charlotte made at novel writing before her death. It really is a shame because it has so much potential. Thanks for reading 😀

Hi, I'm Nicola, a Brontëite and MA graduate of Popular Literatures with a passion for late eighteenth and nineteenth century English literature. The topic of my MA dissertation was Charlotte Brontë's juvenilia, and I am continuing to research this as an independent scholar as PhD funding has proved elusive. This blog is my attempt to introduce readers and fellow Brontë enthusiasts to the juvenilia, of the siblings in addition to Brontë inspired fiction, and the siblings' adult works. Happy reading.
