Below are testimonials from real people who have used THE GUN GLOVE.
If you would like to post a testimonial, please click here.
Received a replacement pair today.
Thanks from a customer for life !!!
Best Gloves in ACTION, some foto for your web site.
I have used various manufacturer's gloves in the past for firearm qualifications and shotgun sports but they all suffered from either workmanship quality, loss of dexterity, or improper fit until I found The Gun Glove. Since I live in a warm climate I opted for the summer weight and after using them for approximately one year I am thoroughly impressed. They have held up well, are very confortable to wear, and I do not suffer any loss of dexterity while manipulating any of the firearm platforms.
WOW ! Fabulous gloves for shotgun, rifle and pistol shooting.
I would like to thank the Cast & Crew from History Channels mini-series SIX, for their use and appreciation of The Gun Glove.
Shown in action, Summer Weight Beige & Brown Shooting Glove.
Saw your gloves being used on "SIX TV series(History Channel) and was pretty intrigued . Are the gloves they use on "Six" the light beige/brown version or did you make a special color for the show?
Ans: They are the Summer Weight Beige & Brown, as offered on the The Gun Glove web site. John H.
Does the glove have any padding for the top of the middle to lessen recoil impact? After a few hours at the range I develop a painful bruise on that finger.
Even though I didn't get the answer I wanted, you amazed me with how fast you got back to me. Good news travels fast. I will definitely tell my shooting friends how great your shooting gloves look, and how quickly and how honestly you answered my question. Trust is NOT undervalued, it's everything.
Just wanted to let you guys know I have been using your gloves for 2 years now in both theaters but I have been over here on and off for almost 7 years.
A student gave me his used pair and they work great for the work I do. I have also use them teaching and competing. I have put them through the ringer so to say and find myself repairing them with duct tape but the holes are catching up.
The top knuckle of each pointer finger seams to fray at the seam and each palm has a hole worn too. I used duct tape from the inside to repair them and they keep on ticking somehow. The outside grey material has been and remains in great shape as well as the Velcro.
Hi John, First let me commend you on the service, updates and quality of your product. This is my second pair in 4 years (they last a long time, maybe not good for you but excellent for us!). I'm very happy with them and the reason I bought them again is that my first pair finally develop a hole in the middle of the palm after 4 years of service.
I shoot 10K+ rounds annually of NSCA targets and wear the Gun Glove on each round. They fit well, protect the hands and wear like iron. I don't shoot without them Thanks. -Craig H.
I 've had several pairs of these gloves for a few years now. Originally purchased for my shotgun sports. I have discovered that these gloves also work equally as well for tactical training situations with both pistol and M$ platforms. Better than so called "Tactical" gloves. Great product, great customer service. -Ralph C.


The Great Dikes of Spanish Peaks Country formed during the same period of volcanic activity as the Spanish Peaks, Mt. Mestas, and Silver Mountain.
These vertical granite formations were formed by molten rock several thousand feet underground, below and among many layers of sedimentary rock. Over time, the ground rose and the softer rock eroded away, exposing these igneous intrusions.
Spanish Peaks Country has three unique sets of dikes. One emanates radially from the West Spanish Peak, another set emanates radially from Silver Mountain, and a third set crosses the landscape roughly 80 degrees east of north.
The dikes in this third set are roughly parallel to one another, are the longest and oldest of the dikes, and were formed around the same time as the Sangre de Cristo Uplift—the event that pushed up the Sangre de Cristo Mountains 27 million years ago.
Spanish Peaks Country's dikes are granite. In the western portions of Las Animas and Huerfano Counties, there are some uplifted stone walls of the Dakota formation. They look like granite but are actually compressed, durable sandstone part of a formation running from Canada to Mexico along the Front Range and eastwards.


Kurtis Patterson has picked out New South Wales batting coach Beau Casson for helping him secure a call-up to the Australia Test squad.
The 25-year-old has made a late entry into the Australia squad that faces Sri Lanka in the upcoming series after hitting consecutive unbeaten centuries in the tour game.
"I've got to give a lot of credit to Beau Casson, we've forged a really strong relationship and he's absolutely fantastic for me," Patterson sad in quotes published on ESPNCricinfo.
"I really enjoy the way he goes about his coaching, we get along really well on a personal level, which helps to start with, and I think he really understands batting and cricket.


After 60 years of living and since being set free, I see the seductiveness of the worldly knowledge I have acquired. Here is a prayer I found to help me with that.
For those of us, like me, who did not know about the Emmaus walk, here is a bible reference.
They replied, "The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, and how our chief priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death and crucified him. But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things took place. Moreover, some women of our group astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning, and when they did not find his body there, the came back and told us that they had seen a vision of angels who said he was alive. Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said; but they did not see him.
As they came near the village to which they were going, he walked ahead as if he were going on. But they urged him strongly, saying, "Stay with us, because it is almost evening and the day is now nearly over." So he went in to stay with them. When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he vanished from their sight.
They said to each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us, while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?" That same hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven and their companions gathered together.
They were saying, "The Lord has risen indeed, and he has appeared to Simon!" Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he had been made known to them in the breaking of the bread.

BC's Coolest Ski Towns
By Andy Cochrane September 19, 2019
The case for skiing north of the border, written by an American
I spent the first 30 years of my life believing a so-called "big mountain" ski trip was best found among the packed lift lines, traffic jams, and vast clouds of skiers crowding the slopes of my home country. The norm was chaos—long waits for just about everything, and total anonymity in the mass of people all vying for that last piece of post-run pizza.
The kicker? I grew up a half-hour drive from Canada, and if I'd made that short trip across the border, it would have offered up an entirely different experience.
Fernie Alpine Resort | Dave Heath
Two years ago I finally made that road-trip journey in British Columbia. In a car packed to the hilt, four of us drove into Fernie at dusk and headed directly to The Brickhouse Bar and Grill, a local institution, where, within an hour, we were chatting with a local patroller, a city council member, and a pair of shop owners.
Fernie Alpine Resort is best known for its light, fluffy powder and vast terrain. It has entire runs through old-growth cedars, great views across the river valley of the Rockies, and a massive rock headwall that acts as a backdrop behind the five named bowls. But even that is selling it short. What hooked me was more than the world-class skiing—it was the laid-back culture of this mining town-turned ski mecca.
The ski resort was founded in 1961 and still maintains an old-school, dirtbag mentality: "keeping rippers ripped." Everyone in Fernie is there to have a good time; nobody cares what you're wearing or how fancy your skis are. And while you'll find world-class amenities like high-speed lifts and great dining, it's with a simple, friendly, relaxed feel.
That same attitude translates off-slope, whether you're making tracks in the snow on a fat bike, throwing curling rocks, or skating at the outdoor rink. Post-activity, you can check out the Ice Bar at Cirque Restaurant, or keep the festive mood going during the popular Griz Days festival.

Kicking Horse Mountain Resort | Reuben Krabbe
Just up the road in Golden, you'll find similar variety at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, a community atmosphere with some of the best terrain in the world. The mountain is surrounded by sharp peaks and national parks in nearly all directions, steep canyons with rushing rivers, and high-alpine chutes that host the Freeski World Tour. The culture in Golden is full-speed—everything in the small town feels like a rush and ends with shared high fives. Well-known events include the Snow King Mask Parade in February, while snow yoga and dog-sled tours are sure to get the blood pumping in a whole new way.

On-slope Fresh Tracks Cafe Whitewater Ski Resort | Kari Medig
A few hours west on the Powder Highway is Nelson, a ski town known for all-season adventure. Set on Kootenay Lake, Nelson is home to an eclectic mix of artists and artisans, funky shops and heritage buildings. And it's just 20 minutes from Whitewater Ski Resort.
Here, skiing and riding is the sole focus—what the locals refer to as "master of one." The resort works closely with a number of heli- and cat-skiing operations nearby, including Summit Mountain Guides, Kootenay Mountain Guides, Big Red Cats, and Stellar Heli.
As a bonus, Whitewater, nestled deep in the Selkirk Mountains, has no WiFi or cell reception, which means people often talk to total strangers in lift lines, on chairlifts, and over a meal at Fresh Tracks Cafe—homegrown fare that has spawned a series of popular cookbooks. These interactions, while seemingly banal, made a big difference during my visit, creating a sense of community on and off the slopes.

Downtown Rossland | Dave Heath
Southwest of Nelson, and just North of the US-Canada border, is the small town of Rossland and RED Mountain Resort, which have become nearly synonymous. Like many of the small towns in southcentral BC, the history in Rossland runs deep and the ski resort is a big part of it. Founded as a mining town and converted in the early 1900s into one of the great and still-undiscovered ski destinations, RED is run by an avid group of skiers that work hard and play even harder.
Above all else, Rossland's lifestyle is the biggest draw. Locals care deeply about the town and the ski resort, which is best demonstrated at the Rossland Winter Carnival. This is Canada's oldest, consecutively running winter carnival, dating back to 1898. It's also one of the greatest times of the year to find out why "you are a stranger but once."
If Rosslanders are known for anything more than skiing from first to last chair, it's après. When visiting RED our first (and last) stop was Rafters, the bar on the mountain. Sitting on the second storey of the base lodge, this is the hangout; walking in, I immediately felt like a local, thanks to a warm welcome and a few jokes from the barkeep.
Patrons freely shared their best-kept secrets, and I learned that RED offers advanced skiers and snowboarders an opportunity to test their skills on a full-day, "10 buck-a-run" in-bounds cat-skiing experience with Mt. Kirkup Cat Skiing. That's all the incentive we needed to pile into the comfy interior of a Pisten Bully 200 snowcat for rides to the top of Mt. Kirkup, where we were dropped into fresh tracks all day long.
Kirkup Cat Skiing, Rory Court | RED Mountain Resort, Mark Clinton | Around the fire, Ashley Voykin
Whistler Blackcomb | Blake Jorgenson
My exploration ended further west in North America's best-known resort, Whistler Blackcomb. Recognized for its staggering size—200+ runs and over 3,237 skiable hectares (8,000 acres) of terrain—you could ski at Whistler for weeks without riding the same line. All told, the resort has 16 bowls, three glaciers, and is open year round, other than a short break in the fall. With its sheer size rivaling the biggest resorts in the States and in Europe, the truly impressive part is that the town itself still feels small and friendly, unlike many of its counterparts.
A shared passion for skiing is the fabric that binds this community. Adventurists from around the world are drawn here to work and play, creating a tight-knit feel with a strong international vibe. And while Whistler may not seem like an obvious candidate for small-town life, it's comfortable and relaxed. In the span of a day, I laughed with locals over a morning coffee before trading stories with an entirely new crew later that evening.
We found that the Village was the best place to mingle, whether at galleries and restaurants, or tucked into a cozy spot for a live-music performance. And there's plenty more to entertain, from axe-throwing at Forged, to yoga and aerial gymnastics at Treeline aerial, bobsleigh and skeleton at the Whistler Sliding Centre, ATV and snowmobile tours with Canadian Wilderness Adventures, and guided backcountry and heli-skiing with Extremely Canadian.
The PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola between Whistler and Blackcomb, Andrew Strain | Whistler concert, Kevin Arnold | Whistler Blackcomb, Leo Zuckerman
Our welcome at Whistler was a feeling that had become familiar on what was one of the best road trips of my life. Soaring mountains and heart-thumping runs were the draw, but better than the deep snow and steep lines were the people we met along the way. I still stay in touch—these friends pull me back to BC time and again. Because when you stay in these mountain towns, you're more than a pass holder. You're part of the community.

Protecting The Human Rights Of Individuals Who Use Psychedelics
The last century's 'War on Drugs' has obstructed the worldwide development of potential psychiatric treatments that utilize psychedelic substances such as psilocybin, mescaline, and LSD. The criminalization of these hallucinogens has also had a negative outcome for the millions of people that use these substance in scenarios outside of a clinical setting, whether it be for spiritual practice, self exploration, or a new perspective of the universe we live in. Thanks to the findings from the recent studies done on these substances in addition to the further ongoing research, the UN is going to meet in 2016 in New York to set the course for the future of international drug policy. "National and international policies should respect the human rights of individuals who chose to use psychedelics as a spiritual, personal development, or cultural activity." -Teri Suzanne Krebs, Lancet Psychiatry Through the study of ancient text and illustrations, it is now certain that psilocybin among other naturally occurring psychoactive substances have been used for spiritual practice for over 5,000 years, predating all known major religions. Cave paintings found on the Tassili Plains of northern Algeria dating back to 9,000 B.P. depict "anthropomorphic figures" with images of mushrooms on their bodies, showing that the power of these psychoactive mushrooms had been realized and was viewed as mystical and divine to the people of this time. Many have suggested it may be possible that the consumption of naturally occurring psychoactive substances could have helped stimulate the intellectual growth and curiosity in a primitive ancestor of the Homo genus, which in turn could have sparked philosophical thinking and a desire to verbally communicate with one another.
At the 1971 UN Convention on Psychotropic Substances, the WHO (World Health Organization) was responsible for determining the international policy for for psychedelic substances. In their original assessment, they stated that psychedelics "are usually taken in the hope of inducing a mystical experience leading to a greater understanding of the users' personal problems and of the universe". There were no examples of any sort of harm associated with naturally-occurring psychedelic substances such as peyote and psilocybin, and only mentioned a few inconclusive anecdotes about LSD. This raises the question as to why this assessment was disregarded and these substances were hastily scheduled as harmful drugs with no apparent medicinal value.
Based on extensive human research and experience, it is now acknowledged that the use of these psychedelic substances does not result in addiction and that there is no association between psychedelics and chromosome damage, toxicity to the brain and body, and lasting mental illness. In their article, Lancet Psychiatry stated that "Overall psychedelics are not particularly dangerous when compared with other common activities." As the psychedelic experience predates even the oldest organized religion, and may have even sparked intrigue into the spiritual realm, it could be said that it is an individual's birthright to embark on a journey into the conscience, and he or she should have the freedom to do so without fear of prosecution or the tarnishing of one's reputation.

(° Kortrijk, Belgium, 1966)
At the time Lode Laperre obtained his degree in fine arts from the St. Thomas Institute in Brussels (Belgium) in the late '80s, he had already developed an individual pictorial language, expressed mainly with acrylic paint on canvas, and exhibited a clear direction for his future as a visual artist: contemporary painting.
Soon afterwards, Lode Laperre began receiving recognition for his early work: he won the prestigious award "Nationale Prijs voor Schilderkunst Kulturama" (the Kulturama National Prize for the Art of Painting) in 1990, and had his first solo exhibition 2 years later in Tournai. Thus encouraged, he intensified his time in the studio, where new and interesting artistic challenges presented themselves. The results of this increased productivity were on display in several individual and group exhibitions.
Lode Laperre's first trip to South-East Asia in December 1998 piqued his interest in other civilizations and cultures. Inspired by this and many return visits, his visual arts mission notably shifted towards the creation and exploration of a remarkable and very personally-charged pictorial language, a fusion of Orient and Occident. More exhibitions followed, this time in China, Taiwan and Thailand.
Thus influenced by oriental art, Lode Laperre started experimenting with expressing his artistic vision using new media, e.g. creating ink drawings on paper and, more recently, even sculptures. His series of "Coprolites", which he refers to as the "fossil excrements" of his work, are residues of painting sessions reincarnated as sculptures.

In order to maximize use of screen real estate, I use a floating Transport bar at the top of the Logic screen (which just covers the project name and the useless part of the Arrange window), and disable the integrated Transport at the bottom of the screen.
I use the keyboard shortcut (default: "T") to toggle the Transport view/hide.
Here's the bug: I've customized the Transport. However, once one hides the Transport, subsequent views bring up the default Transport (with default button set) instead of the customized one.
Recalling the locked screenset with the customized Transport is one work-around, but is slower than toggling the Transport, and also resets everything else in the screen set, so not good.
Not a direct answer to your query - but did you know that you can easily hide the toolbar at the top of the Arrange Window (and thus the wasted space as well) by simply clicking in the rectangular button in the upper right hand corner?
All the toggle and show/hide keyboard shortcuts are very useful.
All in the keyboard shortcuts window. All very useful to reclaim screen space.
V = show/hide all plug-in windows!
You've got it covered, for the most part!
Maybe add in that one can also toggle the floating Transport (using "T") and event float (option-E), which in some cases are better options than using the integrated transport and the full Event list.

Briggs-Tyson Bout Appears to Be On
Joshua Admits: Ruiz 'Beat, Shook Me'
World heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has opened up about his loss to Andy Ruiz Jr. in June of 2019. Joshua, who has won 23-1 bouts throughout his career and has 21 knockouts to his name, freely admits that Ruiz came out of nowhere to beat him. Ruiz unexpectedly carried the day and went home with Joshua's belts.
'Shook'
It's not uncommon for fighters to come up with excuses and long explanations after they are dealt a defeat. They always insist to fans and the media that something 'made them lose.' But Joshua took a different approach. 'I got beat and was shook,' he admits. 'It's tough. It's a hard game. I got beaten to a pulp.'
Abruptly Halted
The referee overseeing the Joshua vs. Ruiz bout ended the match abruptly. In boxing, the referee is allowed to halt the match if he concludes that one of the fighters can't go on. The match ended in the seventh round after Ruiz knocked Joshua down four times. It's worth noting, however, that Joshua had never lost a match before this – let alone being knocked down a whopping four times.
After losing to Ruiz, Joshua called for a rematch, which Ruiz honoured. The bout in June had tainted Joshua's image. Fans all over the world were shocked that Joshua could lose a match so dramatically. But AJ, as his fans call him, wasn't done just yet, wanted to stage a comeback, just like an expired website. It would be great if it was as easy for him to return to former glory. If you have a website and you want to renew its domain and improve your SEO, then use Internet Vikings expired domain names to take your site back to it's previous best.
The rematch was held last December in Saudi Arabia, and Joshua managed to beat Ruiz. With that said, AJ's next scheduled match is with IBF mandatory fighter Kubrat Pulev. If he wins, he'll advance to the unification challenge against WBC champion Tyson Fury.

Today we are going to see how do switches and hubs interact with each other by tracing packet flow. Here's the network we are going to be playing with today.
As you can see there the switch hasn't learned any MAC addresses. Reading text books you might here things like "A switch can break up collision domains". What the heck does that actually mean?
Well in order to understand it you need to know a bit on how Ethernet Works. When a computer on the network say PC1 wants to talk to another computer say PC4 it will always look to it's own MAC address table. It will ask "Have I talked with host PC4 before?". If it has it's arp table will have that computer's IP address and matching MAC address. If not that means the PC1 will need to use ARP to send out a broadcast message "FFFF:FFFF:FFFFF" and ask the computers if they have the IP address of 192.168.1.4 and if so, please send back their mac address.
What makes this layout a bit harder to understand than if it were just two switches is a HUB is a dumb device. All it does is forward incoming frames out every port but the port it came in on.
Let's start with the same scenario we just talked about. PC1 will Ping PC4. PC1 will try and ping 192.168.1.4 but will have to resort to ARP before it can send the ICMP request out on the line.
The ARP broadcast will be sent down the wire to the HUB.
Because the HUB is dumb it will need to forward the packet out all ports except the one it came from. PC2 and PC3 both know this packet is not for them.
SWITCH doesn't know anything about PC1. Because the broadcast frame will have the host MAC address as .1111.1111 it will add this to it's MAC Address list.
It will now forward the packet off to all ports except the port the frame came in on.
PC5 & PC6 reject the frame because it's not for them. PC4 says… Hey… I have the address of 192.168.1.4. It sends back a reply making sure to set it's MAC address as the originating address and puts PC1's address in the destination field. Because PC4 now knows PC1's MAC address he does not need to send an ARP request to figure it out. He will also add PC1's MAC address in his MAC address table.
PC4 sends the reply back to SWITCH.
SWITCH will send the response back to HUB.
Again since HUB is dumb he has to send it out every port except the one it came in on. PC2 and PC3 will drop the frame. PC1 will now know how to send the ping request!
PC1 can now ping PC4 as directly as it can. The frame will be sent down to the Hub.
Similar to how the arp broadcast went PC2 and PC3 will get the same frame because the NUB just blurts out everything it hears on the ports the information didn't come in on.
This is where the smarts of the switch come in. Because it knows what port the MAC address 0001.1111.1111 is it sends it to only that port. ie. PC5 and PC6 don't get the frame like PC2 and PC3 did in the last step.
You got it! Hub will forward it out ALL ports except the one it came in on. PC2 and PC3 will drop the frame.
At this point other than PC1 and PC4 no other computers on this network knows any other MAC address.
A good question you might ask yourself… Right after all this happened… What would happen if PC6 were to ping PC3?


I have been going to Canton Park Dental since 1985. Sue has been my hygienist for the past couple decades. She always provides excellent services. Sue and I catch-up on each other's lives every 6 months. I truly value her relationship and dental care. The staff are courteous and professional. I love the text appointment reminders. The dentists are very gentle and strive to make the patient as comfortable as possible, while keeping them informed through the procedure.
The staff was professional, courteous and friendly. Thanks to ALL!
As a Family, we appreciate Canton Park Dental. Service is wonderful. Great service and the staff is amazing. Highly recommend this office.
I cracked a tooth that supports my bridge, making the repair more complicated. I saw Dr Chang, who was awesome. I don't like getting work on my teeth. It feels very invasive to have someone working in your mouth. So close and personal. Dr. Chang was gentle, provided me with a hand signal, so she knew if I needed anything. She explained the procedure , as she went. That allowed me to know what to expect. The dental assistant. Jinkie, was very detailed and precise in her work. She also, explained as she worked. I felt that, both of them genuinely cared about my comfort. In addition, the office staff are always, so accommodating, and eager to help.
I was extremely satisfied with the service I received everybody was friendlyand courteous.
Great experience, Dr Sheng was great!! Very professional and explained everthing she did. Highly recommend.
Dr. Yurij has been very precise and professional in his practice while always positive, energetic and kind. His staff members are the same way. Great team work. The office facility is also nice, quiet and relaxing. Best place!
Very friendly and they take time to insure your comfortable. I definitely recommend that you go to this dentist for treatment.
Excellent staff. Quick, efficient and family friendly. Attentive to your personal time and needs. Highly recommend them.
Staff is extremely friendly! Sue is amazing and the main reason I continue driving to Canton Park Dental. It's not a close drive from my home but she is worth it! I'm always happy with my experiences at CPD.

Q: What sensor to use for sensing azimuth & altitude of satellite dish? Instead of using a motor encoder, what electronics sensor I could use to know the position of a satellite dish? In this case will be the Azimuth and Altitude of the dish (2-axis).
Magnetometer, Accelerometer or Gyro?
any particular model I could get in eBay or Sparkfun?

A: A stationary object may use an accelerometer to reasonably accurately determine which direction is down (or, conversely, up) without needing any sort of reference other than a large nearby planet.  In theory, a sufficiently-precise gyroscope could also determine which directions were north and east without needing any sort of reference other than being affixed to a large nearby planet which is turning on a north-south axis, but I doubt that any commercially-available electronic gyroscopes would achieve that level of precision.
If you have a base whose alignment is fixed, and merely wish to measure position relative to that, potentiometers can be pretty good.  When they are used in a ratiometric fashion, they can be relatively precise and also immune to changes in temperature, humidity, etc.

A: why not try a rotary potentiometer.

A: If this is a DIY project you might want to use an optical encoder like Agilent AEDR-8300.

It is the same sensor principle which is used inside of a relative rotary encoder, but you can print the reflector stripe yourself. This is just a white/black 2bit gray code. So you can create much better resolutions without a gearbox. No drift, no worries. Okay, maybe sunlight, rain, ... but I think the optical way is fairly robust.
edit: You don't even have to print a gray code pattern. A black/white stripe is sufficient. See the datasheet.

A: An RVDT (Radial Differential Voltage transformer) might offer a better resolution than a rotary encoder, however it requires a more complex circuitry.

Edigna (–1109) is a venerated figure in Puch, and is beatified in the Catholic Church. Her historical existence is debated.

Legend
According to legend, Edigna was a daughter of Henry I of France and Anne of Kiev, and was born . In 1074, at the age of 19, she fled to Bavaria on a farmer's bullock cart to escape an arranged marriage. The farmer stopped in Puch, Fürstenfeldbruck, where a rooster in the cart crowed and a bell rang. Edigna took this as a sign that she should leave the cart. She remained in Puch until her death on 26 February, 1109, living as a hermit in a hollowed-out linden tree and revered by the people as a miracle worker. She did not reveal her royal background, but it was discovered after her death. When she died, holy oil flowed from the tree, but it dried up when attempts were made to sell it.

Edigna has been venerated since her death, and regarded as the patroness saint of Puch.

Historical evidence

In support
In 1347, a document related to the death of Louis IV near Puch contained the first known written mention of Edigna. In 1624, Matthäus Rader examined her corpse and subsequently wrote a biography of her. Edigna was beatified in the Catholic Church in 1600. In 1976, a grave in the church was discovered, which could have been the burial site of Edigna.

A 1639 votive tablet describes a child from Mammendorf who recovered from an illness immediately after completing a pilgrimage to the site.

Against
Henry I of France and Anne of Kiev are known to have had four children, named Phillip, Robert, Hugo, and Emma. However, Emma and Edigna may be the same person, because few details about Emma are known.

In the modern day

A street in Puch called the  leads past the local Church of St. Sebastian, in which an altar is dedicated to Edigna, and past a linden tree.

Ukrainians often make pilgrimages to Puch because Edigna's mother, Anne of Kiev, was from Ukraine. In 2007, Viktor Yushchenko made such a visit while President of Ukraine. An Edigna Association and decennial Edigna Games exist in Puch. , three women in Puch were named Edigna, while eight others had it as their middle name. In Wörth an der Donau, Edigna is venerated by a church called the Church of St. Edigna.

Edigna is considered to be the patroness saint of Puch and a patroness against cattle diseases and theft.

The Edignalinde
A linden tree in Puch called the , said to be the same tree in which Edigna lived, is near the town cemetery. Julius Langbehn, a German nationalist and antisemite who admired Edigna, was buried near the tree in 1907 at his own request; a nearby street is also named after him.

What The Hell Is This?
Day 78: Before My Time – Texaco Star Theater
Posted on August 4, 2019 by Marty
I wasn't entirely sold on this topic. Sure, I have a sense of history. I understand that, while my childhood television hours were focused on whether Schneider would fix Bonnie Franklin's squeaky hinge, or whether Fonzie would get together with those girls and… well, I didn't know what he did with girls up in that apartment. Anyway, the point is, I know there were shows from before my time. Important shows, the shows that drew the blueprints for television.
But how much can I say about a show that predates me by two decades? One that was never aired in syndication in my lifetime (in my market, anyway)? When it comes down to it, all I really know about Milton Berle is that he made people laugh by wearing a dress, Howard Stern claims he has a huge penis, and at one time he was the first guy to be the most important man on television.
Alright, time to do some research. Ms. Wiki tuned my dial to the Texaco Star Theatre, and I don't want to disappoint. I can't afford to get cancelled.
To get to this piece of history we've got to go back to when television was a science-fiction fantasy, like instant mashed potatoes, do-it-yourself home permanents and R2D2-shaped mailboxes.
The early 1930s were prime time in the age of radio, and Texaco used to sponsor a show called The Fire Chief, starring Ed Wynn. Wynn became better known for other incarnations of his goofy radio voice, including his role as the Mad Hatter in Disney's Alice In Wonderland. If you aren't familiar with his trademark delivery, honed to the tune of Texaco's sponsor money in the 1930s, check him out here, or just tune in to one of the hilarious Hollywood Babble-On podcasts on Kevin Smith's SModcast network – his co-host Ralph Garman always pulls this voice out of his bag of tricks. (you're welcome for the plug, Mr. Smith – free tickets can be sent directly to my email address)
After they wrapped Wynn's show in 1935, Texaco kept its toes in the radio world, eventually launching the Texaco Star Theatre radio show in 1938. It was a variety show, with various guest stars making appearances. Kind of like a Saturday Night Live, but on radio, with more musical guests and less funny. What am I saying… it probably couldn't have been less funny.
Just teasing, Lorne…
Fred Allen was the first major host of the show, starting in 1940. You might remember Fred Allen from… well, you might remember him if you're over eighty. He was a big radio guy; his television work was minimal. Fred had become a huge radio star over the previous decade, sponsored by both ends of the proverbial sponsorship body: Ipana Toothpaste and Sal Hepatica Laxitives. He helmed the Texaco Star Theatre until 1944 when his doctor told him to take a break. Nowadays they have better stress-management drugs I suppose.
After Allen, Texaco tried out a few other hosts, including James Melton (a former opera singer), Tony Martin (former Burns and Allen guest), Gordon MacRae (star of Oklahoma!), Jack Carter (who played himself in Viva Las Vegas, and still performs today), and finally Uncle Miltie.
a.k.a. Auntie Miltie
Milton Berle was a child star in silent films, then a stand-up comedy and radio star. Some say he could pull off the physical comedy of Charlie Chaplin while spurting the verbal wit of Groucho Marx. I've seen bits and pieces of Miltie's work, and I'll buy it. He was a funny dude. Anyway, he was a successful stand-up comic in the 1930s, so a perfect fit for Texaco's show in the 40s.
In June of 1948 it was time to bring the hit show to the new medium of television, and while Berle was only one of a few rotating hosts at first, it only took a couple of months before his job was cemented. Berle was a smash. The audience share for NBC on Tuesday nights was a whopping 80… granted, there were only a couple other stations to choose from, and there was probably nothing of interest on the Dumont Network at the time. But Miltie was Simon Cowell, Cliff Huxtable and Cosmo Kramer all rolled into one. Everybody watched.
In this sketch, Lucy had the massive cigar. Miltie's remained unseen.
He was the first guy to get racy on TV, even if being racy only meant wearing a dress (something Fatty Arbuckle did in films thirty years earlier). Think about it – this was a brand new medium, nobody had ever established what could and couldn't be done. Sure, he wasn't about to bang a hooker and kill a homeless guy on prime-time TV, but within the parameters of the censors, who knew what could happen? Berle was a scientist who was handed brand new equipment and told to create. He was the Beatles discovering tape loops, overdubbing and LSD. He got to set the standard, and fortunately he had the talent to pull it off.
There were 500,000 television sets sold in the first year Miltie's show was on the air. By 1956 there were 30 million sold. Miltie can't take credit for all of TV's success, but he was most certainly a part of it. He even gets credit for having the highest rated show in the 1950-51 season, the first year the Neilson people started measuring TV ratings.
In 1953 Texaco stepped out of sponsoring the show, and it became the Buick-Berle Show. Buick left after a couple years, opting to sponsor Jackie Gleason's Honeymooners instead. By 1956 the ratings had dropped and Miltie took his final bow. Huge as he was, the show lasted no longer than According To Jim.
…which was almost as influential and ground-breaking.
Variety shows were a big thing in the dawn of television. Formats for scripted drama hadn't yet been nailed down, and a solid host could carry an audience through a full hour of comedy and music, with the right guests and a good staff of writers. And just as Ed Sullivan brought the Beatles to prime-time in the 60s, Miltie gave the world a dose of Elvis on his show.
In the end, Milton Berle was TV's first superstar, and he was also the first superstar to suffer from over-exposure on TV. If it weren't for Berle, well, it's not like we'd all be listening to radio today for entertainment. But we might have made Ed Wynn the guy we first worshipped as a TV god. That would have been… strange.

Sign up NOW to save the Halong Bay bears
With the news that four bears have starved to death at the Cau Trang Bear Farm in Halong Bay, we need your help to tell Vietnam's Prime Minister – please let us save these bears.
We have published an open letter to Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung requesting the government steps in and confiscates the remaining 23 bears.
Animals Asia Vietnam Director, Tuan Bendixsen, has signed the letter and now we need you to make your voices heard and force action before it's too late.
Sign the open letter here
Once you have signed it make sure you forward it to everyone you know and ask them to sign and forward too.
Animals Asia founder and CEO, Jill Robinson MBE said:
"Clearly it's a matter of life or death for these bears. The longer a decision is delayed, the greater the risk of yet more fatalities. We have no option now but to make our voices heard and ask Vietnam's Prime Minister to save these poor bears from cruelty. It's not too late yet for the remaining 23 bears."
The move follows an expose in December 2014 by an Animals Asia team who were given access to inspect three farms just minutes from the iconic beauty spot.
During the inspections, the Cau Trang Bear Farm, was discovered to be home to 27 severely emaciated bears, with many suffering open wounds and missing limbs.
Last week the Quang Ninh Forest Protection Department reported that four of the bears had died due to the appalling conditions.
Having lodged a report with the Vietnamese authorities in November which was followed up in December and again in January, Animals Asia is now pressing the government to step in and take action to save the lives of the endangered animals.
Animals Asia Vietnam Director, Tuan Bendixsen, said:
"Following the submission of our report we are awaiting action. While we respect the processes involved, in this case immediate action is absolutely vital for the survival of these bears. Since we visited four have tragically already died."
"The farm owner is keeping them in appalling conditions in direct contravention of an agreement signed with the Vietnamese government in 2005. As the farmer has proven either incapable or unwilling to care for the bears, we have declared ourselves to be ready and willing to bring all the bears to our nearby sanctuary."
"We are asking for the support of the international community to urge the government to make a decision and close this tragic farm which is in stark contrast to the beauty on its doorstep."

The Zao app which is capable of swapping faces from video clips shot to the top of the app store shortly after it was released, pulling in millions of downloads. Now, concerns have been raised about possible use of the app for negative propaganda.
A new Chinese mobile deepfake application that allows users very easily swap their faces with any specific faces in any video clip was launched on Friday the 30th of August, 2019. The app, Zao, became an instant success an almost immediately became the most downloaded mobile app on China's iOS App Store, racking up several million downloads and shooting the app to the top of the store. However, several concerns have been drawn over the app's infringement of privacy and a host of other violations.
The app employs advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology, letting users upload a personal picture which then gets super-imposed on already made video clips from music, TV shows, and movies. In just a few seconds, one user created a video where he replaced Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio's face with that of his, instantly adding himself to the cast of 1997's Titanic movie. What started as a really fun app now seems to be slowly becoming objectionable.
There are quite a few concerns with Zao. Firstly, the app's user agreement which compulsorily has to be agreed to, stated that Zao has "free, irrevocable, permanent, transferable, and relicense-able" access to any content generated by all of its users.
This is very similar to issues that sprang up quite recently when FaceApp, an AI-powered face swapping app made by Russia's Wireless Lab, became an internet sensation. Because of the backlash, Zao has changed this and will no longer have permanent access to content as all deleted content will now be deleted from servers as well.
The company said on its official Weibo account that it will take more things into consideration:
"We understand the concern about privacy. We've received the feedback, and will fix the issues that we didn't take into consideration, which will need a bit of time."
Another worrying concern is the possible problem with law enforcement and security. The Zao app is so well advanced that the ordinary eye might not immediately notice that a different face has been super-imposed if they have absolutely no knowledge of the app.
This means that security footage can be edited to confuse law enforcement, but also means that conspiracy theorists can very easily rile people up, making them believe someone influential said or did something which was actually done by someone else. Without proper control, Zao could easily render obsolete, all current efforts being done to stem the spread of fake news worldwide.
On the other hand, there are some who are calling for the app to be properly re-purposed for more beneficial functions. These people believe that even the most seemingly dangerous tech can be used positively in the hands of the proper authorities.
At the moment, the negative reviews have now dropped the Zao app all the way down to a 1.9 rating. The Zao app was released by Momo Inc., a firm best known for making a dating app which eventually became a live streaming service. Momo Inc. has been listed on the New York Stock Exchange since 2014 and is currently at $36.18.
It is unclear whether or not the disappointing turn of events will affect the company's stock, especially as most American markets are currently bleeding as effects of the U.S./China trade war are still being felt. Apple stock (AAPL) for example, lost 1.5% to his $205.70.
In other stock related news, Disney (DIS) is worth $136.31 at press time. It is hoped in many quarters that the upcoming Disney+ launch would kick DIS up a notch. Netflix, now a Disney+ rival is currently at $289.29.

The American College of Physicians (ACP) is a national organization of internists, who specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and care of adults. With 154,000 members, ACP is the largest medical-specialty organization and second-largest physician group in the United States, after the American Medical Association. Its flagship journal, the Annals of Internal Medicine, is considered one of the five top medical journals in the United States and Britain.
Founded in 1915, ACP's stated mission is to "enhance the quality and effectiveness of health care by fostering excellence and professionalism in the practice of medicine." In 1998, it merged with the American Society of Internal Medicine (ASIM). ASIM's focus on the economic, political, and social aspects of medical care both enlarged and complemented its mission.
The college is governed by a board of regents, the main policy-making body that oversees its business and affairs. The Board of Regents is made up of elected officers. The board of governors serves as an advisory board to the board of regents, along with a various councils and committees. The board of governors is composed of elected governors who implement projects and initiatives at a chapter level and represent member concerns at the national level. The board of governors is composed of elected governors in chapters and regions of the United States, Canada, Central and South America, Japan, and Saudi Arabia.
Levels of membership are Medical Student, Associate, Member, Fellow (FACP), and Master (MACP). Fellowship and Mastership in ACP recognize outstanding achievement in internal medicine. Fellows are recommended by their peers, endorsed by their local chapter leadership, and reviewed by a national credentials subcommittee. Masters are nominated from among the Fellows of ACP for annual election to this group. Board certification in internal medicine is not required, though potential members must be "board eligible.
The Washington, D.C., office monitors and responds to public policy issues that affect public health and the practice of medicine. Activities include development of policy statements and communication with legislative and administrative sectors of government.
The High Value Care initiative aims to help patients receive the best possible care from physicians while reducing unnecessary costs to the healthcare system. The initiative includes clinical and public policy recommendations, curriculum, and resources for physicians. For patients, ACP offers resources about the benefits, harms, costs and treatments options for common clinical issues.
ACP develops several types of clinical recommendations, including Clinical Practice Guidelines, Guidance Statements, and Best Practice Advice papers. The different types of guidance are meant to be read differently. Guidelines are seen as the strongest recommendation, while guidance statements review existing guidance and best practice advice reviews available evidence.
In 2015, the ACP advocated for a public health approach to gun violence, supporting restrictions on automatic weapons, universal background checks, and legal mechanisms to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill.

Q: ui-select multiselect is very slow in displaying the choices I ran into this problem, and I don't know how to solve it. I have used a ui-select multiselect in my page. First, a http.get request is made to a url which gets the data, then the ui-select choices are populated. The data is big - the length of the data is 2100. This data is to be shown as choices. (The data is fetched at the beginning during the loading of the page and is stored in an array)
But the problem is each time I click on the multiselect to select a choice, it takes 4-5 seconds to populate the list and the page becomes very slow. What do I do to reduce this time?
The choices data is stored in an array, the datatype is array of strings.
  <ui-select multiple ng-model="selectedFields.name"  style="width: 100%;">
    <ui-select-match placeholder="Select fields...">{{$item}}</ui-select-match>
    <ui-select-choices repeat="fields in availableFields | filter:$select.search">
      {{fields}}
    </ui-select-choices>
  </ui-select>

in the controller,
$scope.selectedFields = {};
$scope.selectedFields.name = [];

$scope.init = function() {

    $http.get(url)
        .success( function(response, status, headers, config) {
            availableFields = response;
        })
        .error( function(err) {
        });
};

$scope.init();

If not this way, is there any other options/choice I can work with which doesn't delay showing the select-choices?

A: Here is complete solution that decorates uiSelectChoices directive.
Items are populated progressively as the user scrolls.
Also takes care of searches in the scrolls.
Also works for all values of position={auto, up, down}
Example
    <ui-select-choices
         position="up"
         all-choices="ctrl.allTenThousandItems"
         refresh-delay="0"
         repeat="person in $select.pageOptions.people | propsFilter: {name: $select.search, age: $select.search} ">

         email: {{person.email}}
         age:

   </ui-select-choices>

Working Plnkr
Also with With v0.19.5
The directive
  app.directive('uiSelectChoices', ['$timeout', '$parse', '$compile', '$document', '$filter', function($timeout, $parse, $compile, $document, $filter) {
    return function(scope, elm, attr) {
    var raw = elm[0];
    var scrollCompleted = true;
    if (!attr.allChoices) {
      throw new Error('ief:ui-select: Attribute all-choices is required in  ui-select-choices so that we can handle  pagination.');
    }

    scope.pagingOptions = {
      allOptions: scope.$eval(attr.allChoices)
    };

    attr.refresh = 'addMoreItems()';
    var refreshCallBack = $parse(attr.refresh);
    elm.bind('scroll', function(event) {
      var remainingHeight = raw.offsetHeight - raw.scrollHeight;
      var scrollTop = raw.scrollTop;
      var percent = Math.abs((scrollTop / remainingHeight) * 100);

      if (percent >= 80) {
        if (scrollCompleted) {
          scrollCompleted = false;
          event.preventDefault();
          event.stopPropagation();
          var callback = function() {
            scope.addingMore = true;
            refreshCallBack(scope, {
              $event: event
            });
            scrollCompleted = true;

          };
          $timeout(callback, 100);
        }
      }
    });

    var closeDestroyer = scope.$on('uis:close', function() {
      var pagingOptions = scope.$select.pagingOptions || {};
      pagingOptions.filteredItems = undefined;
      pagingOptions.page = 0;
    });

    scope.addMoreItems = function(doneCalBack) {
      console.log('new addMoreItems');
      var $select = scope.$select;
      var allItems = scope.pagingOptions.allOptions;
      var moreItems = [];
      var itemsThreshold = 100;
      var search = $select.search;

      var pagingOptions = $select.pagingOptions = $select.pagingOptions || {
        page: 0,
        pageSize: 20,
        items: $select.items
      };

      if (pagingOptions.page === 0) {
        pagingOptions.items.length = 0;
      }
      if (!pagingOptions.originalAllItems) {
        pagingOptions.originalAllItems = scope.pagingOptions.allOptions;
      }
      console.log('search term=' + search);
      console.log('prev search term=' + pagingOptions.prevSearch);
      var searchDidNotChange = search && pagingOptions.prevSearch && search == pagingOptions.prevSearch;
      console.log('isSearchChanged=' + searchDidNotChange);
      if (pagingOptions.filteredItems && searchDidNotChange) {
        allItems = pagingOptions.filteredItems;
      }
      pagingOptions.prevSearch = search;
      if (search && search.length > 0 && pagingOptions.items.length < allItems.length && !searchDidNotChange) {
        //search

        if (!pagingOptions.filteredItems) {
          //console.log('previous ' + pagingOptions.filteredItems);
        }

        pagingOptions.filteredItems = undefined;
        moreItems = $filter('filter')(pagingOptions.originalAllItems, search);
        //if filtered items are too many scrolling should occur for filtered items
        if (moreItems.length > itemsThreshold) {
          if (!pagingOptions.filteredItems) {
            pagingOptions.page = 0;
            pagingOptions.items.length = 0;
          } else {

          }
          pagingOptions.page = 0;
          pagingOptions.items.length = 0;
          allItems = pagingOptions.filteredItems = moreItems;

        } else {
          allItems = moreItems;
          pagingOptions.items.length = 0;
          pagingOptions.filteredItems = undefined;
        }

      } else {
        console.log('plain paging');
      }
      pagingOptions.page++;
      if (pagingOptions.page * pagingOptions.pageSize < allItems.length) {
        moreItems = allItems.slice(pagingOptions.items.length, pagingOptions.page * pagingOptions.pageSize);
      }

      for (var k = 0; k < moreItems.length; k++) {
        pagingOptions.items.push(moreItems[k]);
      }

      scope.calculateDropdownPos();
      scope.$broadcast('uis:refresh');
      if (doneCalBack) doneCalBack();
    };
    scope.$on('$destroy', function() {
      elm.off('scroll');
      closeDestroyer();
    });
  };
}]);

A: As stated, ui-select is having quite a few performance issues, but there is a workaround for the limit issue.
If you follow akashrajkn's approach then you will notice that it will actually cut out important pieces of data because it will only render 100 at a time. There is a fix that has passed the unit tests and it can be found on the thread here:
https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-select/pull/716
Basically, if you are storing the javascript file locally, then you can adjust the unminified version. All you need to do is implement the changes he made in the pull request and it should help out significantly. In order to apply the limiting factor, take a look at the below, modified example:
<ui-select multiple ng-model="selectedFields.name" limit = "10"  style="width: 100%;">
    <ui-select-match placeholder="Select fields...">{{$item}}</ui-select-match>
    <ui-select-choices repeat="fields in availableFields | filter:$select.search | limitTo:$select.limit ">
      {{fields}}
    </ui-select-choices>
</ui-select>

The above will limit your data in the drop down while also maintaining the level of consistency needed.

A: Because I cannot leave a comment (not enough rep) I write this as an answer and I am sorry it is no answer for the problem.
@bhantol I changed the following line of code to your solution which is working perfectly for me so far
for (var k = 0; k < moreItems.length; k++) {
  pagingOptions.items.push(moreItems[k]);
}

for (var k = 0; k < moreItems.length; k++) {
  if (pagingOptions.items.indexOf(moreItems[k]) == -1){
    pagingOptions.items.push(moreItems[k]);
  }
}

This prevents duplicated items from showing up if the user is starting to write a filter and then deletes it.
Also I just figured out that if the list is smaller than 20 items it will not work so I changed:
if (pagingOptions.page * pagingOptions.pageSize < allItems.length) {
  moreItems = allItems.slice(pagingOptions.items.length, pagingOptions.page * pagingOptions.pageSize);
}

to:
if (pagingOptions.page * pagingOptions.pageSize < allItems.length) {
  moreItems = allItems.slice(pagingOptions.items.length, pagingOptions.page * pagingOptions.pageSize);
}
else{ moreItems = allItems;}

Maybe this will help you somehow and sorry again for not answering the question.

A: This is a known issue in ui-select. I tried the following ways, both work
1) There is a workaround for this - use
| limitTo: 100

This limits the choice display to 100 but all the choices can be selected. Look at this thread for more details.
2) Since some of the time, there is a need to display the entire list in the choices, 1) is not a viable option. I used a different library - selectize.js. Here's a plunker demo given in the page
