Program control statemens are statements that control a program's flow of execution.
Selectively execute part of a program through the use of the conditional statement if and else.
if statements can be within if statements. This is known as nesting.
for loops can be nested.
It is possible to immediate exit a loop using a break statement.
It is possible to force an early iteration of a loop using a continue statement.
The foreach loop is used to cycle through a collection like an array, but it is not limited to arrays. This code demonstrates cycling through all the values of an array.
The switch is a multiway branch. Its value of the expression is successively tested against a chain of constants.
switch statements can be nested.
The using statement uses an object inside its code block and when the code block ends, the Dispose() method (of the System.IDisposable interface) is called. This means the code will not have to explicitly call Dispose(). This is an elegant way to close network connections and open files, for example.

Grayslake pediatrician helps invent potty training toy

Candace H. Johnson-For Rubber Duck Dr. Shelly Mann, co-creator of Potty Duck, demonstrates her invention on how the rubber duck squirts water into a miniature plastic toilet at Mundelein Pedriatrics in Grayslake.
Grayslake pediatrician Shelly Mann has been advising parents on potty training methods since 1990.
"So many parents are so anxious about it and unsure what to do," the doctor said.
To help make reaching this milestone easier on parents and children, Mann teamed up with longtime friend and inventor Fred Longenecker of Indiana to develop the Potty Duck, an interactive squirt toy that demonstrates how to use the toilet.
"When Fred showed me the prototype, I thought it was the cutest idea as a visual to help children learn to use the potty," she said.
The Potty Duck is a new take on the traditional rubber ducky children have long enjoyed playing with at bath time. Suction cups enable the toy to stick to the bathtub or sink. The child fills the duck with water, squirts it into the attached potty and presses a button on top to "flush."
The goal is for the child to imitate the toy when they sit on the toilet. The Potty Duck also acts as a companion to remind the child how the process works.
"We're very excited about it," said Longenecker, who first got the idea for the product when his daughter, now in college, was 2 years old.
During a bath, she was playing with a squirt toy that happened to be leaking from a small hole in the bottom. Longenecker enlarged the hole to make the toy appear to be urinating. A few days later, his daughter declared she wanted to go to the bathroom like the toy.
The idea was put on the back burner until just a few years ago. Longenecker, who met Mann while students at Goshen College in Indiana, knew she would be the perfect partner being a pediatrician who specialized in potty training.
They began quietly selling the Potty Duck online last winter, only recently launching an advertising campaign after gathering feedback from experts, such as pediatric occupational therapists and, of course, parents and children.
"We're very happy with the product. The children are more engaged than I expected from the reports I'm hearing," Longenecker said.
Mann, who's given the toy to parents, said she's been told their children really enjoy it and even carry it around with them.
"One of the things I like about it is it's unisex. Boys and girls both like it," she said.
Mann is confident the Potty Duck can help children become potty trained at an earlier age.
According to the Ambulatory Pediatrics Journal, the average age of potty training completion in the United States had reached 35 months for girls and 39 months for boys.
"Kids used to be potty trained a lot younger, closer to 18 months," Mann said. "It seems like parents don't even think about potty training until age 2. I would like it if parents would start a little earlier and make it more of a process than a one-time event. You have to practice and continue to encourage them."
When a child can be potty trained earlier, Longenecker said, parents can save money by buying fewer disposable diapers, which clog landfills and take hundreds of years to decompose.
The Potty Duck is sold online at www.pottyduck.com for $19.95 with free shipping. Ten percent of the proceeds go to organizations that build toilets and improve sanitation for children around the world. Packing is handled by Logan Industries, an Indiana company that employs people with disabilities.
There are no current plans to make the product available in stores, but the inventors hope to offer it on Amazon soon.

New salon opens downtown

A new salon has opened in downtown New Richmond.
Perfect Reflection, a salon and spa at 705 Rivard St. in Somerset, has opened a New Richmond location at 155 S. Knowles Ave., in the space formerly occupied by Glam Salon.
"It just kind of worked out that the owner who had it was ready to leave," said Perfect Reflection owner Lori Mathys. "I was kind of looking this direction. I didn't have my sights set on this space. It just kind of worked out that way."
In Somerset, Perfect Reflection does hair, facials, makeup, nail services, massages, tanning and more. In New Richmond, Mathys will focus on just the basics.
"New Richmond will be basically hair," Mathys said. "So we'll do hair coloring, perms and cuts for the whole family. And we'll do facial waxing and makeup applications."
She said she hopes to bring gel polish for nails to her New Richmond location in the future.
Mathys first started the venture in 2004.
"I had been teaching cosmetology for a while and it got kind of old driving to the Cities, especially when the Stillwater bridge was down," Mathys said. "So I wanted to go back to doing hair full time, but I didn't want to work for someone."
Business has been good for Mathys, and she has expanded multiple times.
"We're on our third location in Somerset," Mathys said. "I started out by myself in just a little space, and I was there for just about a year. Then I moved into a bigger space. And then, last year we bought space in a building."
Expanding to a more high-profile location in a bigger city will provide the space Mathys needs to better serve her growing number of repeat customers.
"We have four stylists in Somerset and four stations," Mathys said. "When we can't accommodate everyone, we had no other options for getting people in except to expand. And I think New Richmond will be fun. I'm excited to be in a bigger town."
A bigger town also means more competition, but Mathys plans to bring some new product lines to town that other salons aren't offering, and she feels the expansion will serve a need for her current customers.
"There are a lot of good salons, but I feel like we have a good clientele from Somerset, and a lot of them live or work in New Richmond. So I think it will add some convenience for our clients to be able to have some of our services here. And maybe some people in New Richmond will find out about our spa and just take that five-minute drive to Somerset."
Hours for Perfect Reflection's New Richmond location will be 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesdays and Thursdays, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Fridays, and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays.

The Republican Governors Association (RGA) is a Washington, D.C.-based 527 organization founded in 1961, consisting of U.S. state and territorial Republican governors. The Republican Governors Association is dedicated to one primary objective: electing and supporting Republican governors.

The current RGA co-chairs are Governor Doug Ducey of Arizona, who assumed the office in December 2020, and Governor Pete Ricketts of Nebraska, who joined him in 2022. Governor Kim Reynolds of Iowa serves as vice-chair.

The RGA's Executive Committee for 2021 includes Governors Eric Holcomb of Indiana, Larry Hogan of Maryland, Charlie Baker of Massachusetts, Pete Ricketts of Nebraska, Doug Burgum of North Dakota, Henry McMaster of South Carolina, Kristi Noem of South Dakota, and Greg Abbott of Texas. Additionally, Governor Bill Lee of Tennessee was elected Policy Chairman, and Governor Tate Reeves of Mississippi was elected Policy Vice Chairman.

Its Democratic counterpart is the Democratic Governors Association. The RGA is not directly affiliated with the non-partisan National Governors Association.

List of current Republican governors
All of the following states are members of the Republican Governors Association:

Election cycles

2018
36 gubernatorial races occurred during the 2018 election cycle. The elections were held on November 6, 2018, with Republicans losing a net of 7 governorships.

In 2017, it sponsored a website The Free Telegraph to promote issues from the perspective of Republicans.

2020
In the 2020 election cycle, 11 states and two territories held elections for governors. The elections were held on November 3, 2020, with Republicans gaining a net of one governorship, Montana, for state elections. This marked the first time Montana elected a Republican governor in 16 years.  Former Governor Wanda Vázquez Garced, who was a member of the Republican Governors Association, lost reelection in Puerto Rico, meaning a net loss of one Republican governor for territorial elections. As of 2021, this election meant that only one of five American territories have Republican governors.

2022
36 gubernatorial races occurred during the 2022 election cycle. The elections were held on November 8, 2022, with Republicans losing a net of 2 governorships.

Fundraising
In the 18 months ending June 30, 2010, the RGA raised $58 million, while its counterpart DGA raised $40 million. "Unlike the national political parties and federal candidates, the governors' associations can take in unlimited amounts from corporations," according to Bloomberg, which notes that the RGA recently received $1 million from Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, the parent corporation of Fox News, and $500,000 from WellPoint (now Anthem).

In 2018, the Republican Governors Association announced that $63.2 million was raised in all of 2017, including $27.2 million raised in the final six months of the year, setting a new fundraising record that significantly eclipses the $52.5 million raised in 2013, the last comparable year.

The Tiffany diamond, one of the largest fancy yellow diamonds ever unearthed, was initially a 287.42-carat rough stone, said to have been discovered in one of the mines of the Compagnie française de Diamant du Cap in South Africa, around 1878. In 1879, Lewis Charles Tiffany purchased the stone and sent it to his chief gemologist in Paris, George F. Kunz, who, along with other experts, first studied the rough diamond for a year before starting the actual cutting work. The result was a 128.51-carat cushion shaped diamond with a total of 90 facets (24 more facets than a traditional 58-facet brilliant).
Although yellow diamonds exist in relatively large numbers, most of these are only slightly tinted. Canary yellow diamonds, such as the Tiffany, are extremely rare and especially for such a large stone, making the Tiffany diamond truly exceptional.
Throughout the years, the Tiffany diamond has made several notable appearances. The first time was in 1957 when it was worn to the Tiffany Ball in Newport, by Mrs. Whitehouse. Then, in 1961 Audrey Hepburn wore Schlumberger's Ribbon Rosette necklace featuring the Tiffany diamond in a promotional image for the film, Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Most recently it was seen at the 2019 Oscars Awards Ceremony, adorning the neck of Lady Gaga who took home the award that evening for the song, Shallow, which she co-wrote for the movie, A Star is Born.
The diamond which is normally on display on the main floor of Tiffany's Fifth Avenue flagship store does occasionally make appearances elsewhere, as it did in 2019, for the opening of Tiffany's flagship store in Sydney, Australia. Four settings are known for this diamond.

Biochemistry – study of chemical processes in living organisms, including living matter. Biochemistry governs all living organisms and living processes.
Ames test – salmonella bacteria is exposed to a chemical under question (a food additive, for example), and changes in the way the bacteria grows are measured. This test is useful for screening chemicals to see if they mutate the structure of DNA and by extension identifying their potential to cause cancer in humans.
Pregnancy test – one uses a urine sample and the other a blood sample. Both detect the presence of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).This hormone is produced by the placenta shortly after implantation of the embryo into the uterine walls and accumulates.
Breast cancer screening – identification of risk by testing for mutations in two genes—Breast Cancer-1 gene (BRCA1) and the Breast Cancer-2 gene (BRCA2)—allow a woman to schedule increased screening tests at a more frequent rate than the general population.
Prenatal genetic testing – testing the fetus for potential genetic defects, to detect chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome or birth defects such as spina bifida.
PKU test – Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a metabolic disorder in which the individual is missing an enzyme called phenylalanine hydroxylase. Absence of this enzyme allows the buildup of phenylalanine, which can lead to mental retardation.
Genetic engineering – taking a gene from one organism and placing it into another. Biochemists inserted the gene for human insulin into bacteria. The bacteria, travels through the process of translation, create human insulin.
Cloning – Dolly the sheep was the first mammal ever cloned from adult animal cells. The cloned sheep was, of course, genetically identical to the original adult sheep. This clone was created by taking cells from the udder of a 6-year-old ewe and growing them in the lab.
Gene therapy – a modified or healthy gene is inserted into the organism to replace a disease-causing gene. Commonly a virus that has been altered to carry human DNA is used to deliver the healthy gene to the targeted cells of the patient. This process was first used successfully in 1990 on a 4-year-old patient who lacked an immune system due to a rare genetic disease called severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID).

Friday 11th December saw the official opening of the brand new Ota City Tourist Information Center in Keikyu Kamata Station. Since I had been invited to attend the opening ceremony in a furisode (long-sleeved kimono), I started my day early at a hair salon, having my hair styled in a traditional up-do with flowery ornaments, and then headed to the station bubbling with excitement to wear my very first kimono. The kimono expert who padded, tied, folded and tightened me into this amazingly complicated garment over the span of a hour was a top-class pro, and just a lovely lady in general. She talked me through the importance of each step in the dressing process, and made sure I was comfortable throughout. Kimonos, especially of the long-sleeved variety, can easily feel heavy, uncomfortable, and even dangerously tight if not put on correctly, but her experience ensured that I felt at ease despite all the layers, belts and ties piled on top of me! It was also fascinating to watch how carefully she arranged each layer of clothing, and I feel I can now appreciate the immense effort that goes into successfully pulling off this traditional Japanese look. All in all, it was a wonderful experience!
Now fully decked out in my lovely kimono, I then received the valuable opportunity to participate in a tea ceremony in a charming tatami room within the Tourist Information Center itself! The kimono-clad older ladies who poured the tea and proffered delicious little sweets alongside it were an absolute delight to watch. Their meticulously precise bows, seated seiza posture, and their handling of the tea utensils were at all times poised and elegant, matching the traditional setting and atmosphere of the age-old ceremony. The ladies also explained the correct gestures that we should make, and how we should consume the tea and sweets. Concentrating solely on the flavor of the tea and the movements of the ceremony, it was easy to forget that I was in the middle of a busy train station! It was a blissful moment of calm in an otherwise hectic place, and I felt refreshed and relaxed by the time I stepped down from the little tea room.
If the kimono and tea experiences weren't enough to solidify the center's standing as a must-visit spot for tourists in Ota, they also stock oodles of other goodies and reading materials to peruse, buy and admire! On the left of the information desk is a wall lined with local sweets, savory foods and drinks available for bargain prices – my personal recommendation is the melt-in-your-mouth Kamata manju sweet and Ota specialty nori seaweed tin. At the front of the center is glass case filled with fascinating products such as glassware and mathematical art which are unique to Ota City. Multilingual brochures and pamphlets filled with the latest Tokyo tourist info can also be found lining the back wall, and slightly heavier-duty books and magazines on numerous aspects of Japanese culture (clothing, cuisine, bonsai etc.) are displayed for visitors to purchase or else flick through at their leisure on the tables provided. Even having lived in Ota City for several months, I learned a surprising amount here about Ota's specialties, hidden gems, and delicious goodies!
In summary, if you happen to be in the vicinity of Keikyu Kamata Station in the near future, get on down to the Tourist Information Center for some top class tourist guidance and cultural experiences!

Boeing's 747, the original jumbo jet, prepares for final send-off
Boeing's 747, the original and arguably most aesthetic "Jumbo Jet", revolutionized air travel only to see its more than five-decade reign as "Queen of the Skies" ended by more efficient twinjet planes. The last commercial Boeing jumbo will be delivered to Atlas Air in the surviving freighter version on Tuesday, 53 years after the 747's instantly recognizable humped silhouette grabbed global attention as a Pan Am passenger jet. "On the ground it's stately, it's imposing," said Bruce Dickinson, the lead singer of Iron Maiden who piloted a specially liveried 747 nicknamed "Ed Force One" during the British heavy metal band's tour in 2016.

Data summarization is an elementry step to analyse data and excel itself provides a great feature which is called pivot table. pivot table has great features which you can use to make your data tell you a story. but it takes memory to store data into pivot cache as a cube to faster operation and increase file size and thats where VBA Dictionary comes in to play.
Many time we don't really need to have a pivot table we can use some sort of formulas and have our summary page refresh as soon as new data comes in. But again, formulas takes time to recalculate and if it is a large data formulas may hang your file.
Want to join VBA traning?
Now, we have got a third method to summarize data without having those two issue and this is of course VBA. pretty and simple, you just need to write a chunk of code and it will transform your data into summary and then you can do further charts and all.
This is pretty simple example using VBA Dictionary. this table shows the data structure.
Now, we need to transform this data in to summary, I have developed a code in the file which you can download by following the link below. this is very simple code and can create this summary faster than a blink of an eye.

Oldest cave painting found in Indonesia
by Rock Art Network
An article on theguardian.com - World's oldest known cave painting found in Indonesia - reports on some of the earliest evidence of human settlement with the 45,500 year-old cave painting of a wild pig in the Leang Tedongnge cave on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia.

Discovered by archaeologists, the finding, recently described in the journal Science Advances, provides the earliest evidence of human settlement of the region. Co-author Maxime Aubert of Australia's Griffith University explains it was found on the island of Sulawesi in 2017 by doctoral student Basran Burhan, as part of the surveys the team was carrying out with Indonesian authorities.
The Leang Tedongnge cave is located in a remote valley enclosed by sheer limestone cliffs, about an hour's walk from the nearest road. It is only accessible during the dry season because of flooding during the wet season. Members of the isolated Bugis community told the team it had never before been seen by westerners.
Measuring 136cm by 54cm (53in by 21in), the Sulawesi warty pig was painted using dark red ochre pigment and has a short crest of upright hair, as well as a pair of horn-like facial warts characteristic of adult males of the species. There are two hand prints above the pig's hindquarters, and it appears to be facing two other pigs that are only partially preserved, as part of a narrative scene. Co-author Adam Brumm explains that "The pig appears to be observing a fight or social interaction between two other warty pigs."
Humans have hunted Sulawesi warty pigs for tens of thousands of years, and they are a key feature of the region's prehistoric artwork, particularly during the ice age. Aubert, a dating specialist, identified a calcite deposit that had formed on top of the painting, then used uranium-series isotope dating to confidently say the deposit was 45,500 years old: "This makes the painting at least that age, but it could be much older because the dating that we're using only dates the calcite on top of it. The people who made it were fully modern, they were just like us, they had all of the capacity and the tools to do any painting that they liked."
The previously oldest dated rock art painting was found by the same team in Sulawesi. It depicted a group of part-human, part-animal figures hunting mammals, and was found to be at least 43,900 years old. Cave paintings such as these also help fill in gaps about our understanding of early human migrations. It is known that people reached Australia 65,000 years ago, but they would probably have had to cross the islands of Indonesia, known as "Wallacea".
This site now represents the oldest evidence of humans in Wallacea, but it is hoped further research will help show people were in the region much earlier, which would resolve the Australia settlement puzzle. The team believes the artwork was made by Homo sapiens, as opposed to now extinct human species like Denisovans, but cannot say this for certain. To make handprints, the artists would have had to place their hands on a surface then spit pigment over it, and the team are hoping to try to extract DNA samples from residual saliva.


IS CONFESSIONAL POETRY still interesting in our age of oversharing? Is it even confessional? If my students are any indication, readers immersed in multiple platforms of never-ending self-disclosure might not find the poetry of Robert Lowell or Anne Sexton particularly exhibitionist. Lowell's Life Studies is personal, certainly, but not nearly as personal as your average Instagram story, not as revealing as the anecdotes my students are apt to volunteer in and after class, maybe not as real as the Real Housewives. Lowell famously described his turn toward the personal as a movement away from a rarefied and bloodless commitment to craft, "a breakthrough back into life" that promised to reenergize the writers of an entire generation. A half-century on, the subversions of their self-exposure can be harder to recognize. In the full thrall of TMI, it might be that the strangeness of confessional poetry has more to do these days with its being poetry than its being confessional. This development is not necessarily a bad thing. Indeed, I often try to highlight something like this dynamic by playing for my classes a recording of Sylvia Plath reading "Daddy" a few months before her death. It is an electrifying performance that completely reconfigures the way my students approach her poems. Plath brings to the text a theatrical intensity far flung from the rhetoric of therapeutic unburdening that the "confessional" label seems to suggest. As Plath declaims it, "Daddy" sounds more like the soliloquy of an Elizabethan villain than a straightforward exercise in self-expression. It is not so clear that such words unearth any sort of inner truth about the speaker, but they are certainly dramatic.
This is a fascinating paradox that constitutes the heart of Grobe's argument: poetry becomes personal precisely by becoming performative. The strength of Grobe's compelling account stems from the complexity and flexibility of the concept of performance — "understood," he explains, "as a hypermedial practice, as a way of playing with and between media." Confessions are performative, in other words, not only in the theatrical sense but also in something like the deconstructionist sense as well, existing somewhere in the ambiguous space between marks on the page and the way those marks are animated by the act of being read. Confession puts words into motion, and attending to the performative dimension of this motion highlights the way that a poetic confession resists the strict finality of the written word even as it seems to succumb to it. When Lowell describes his work as making a breakthrough back into life, in other words, he is not merely describing the jettisoning of repressive literary traditions. This rupture is not simply a matter of content but also of form, a breakthrough of the written word into the lecture hall, for instance, an attempt that "spills across the borders that separate literature from performance." The generational transformation he describes is not merely a matter of putting real life back into the poems; it is a matter of the way that poems circulate out in the life of the world. It is a recognition that poems exist as part of that world in the first place.
Confessionalism, for Grobe, is a movement — more like Romanticism or the Gothic than a particular school of poetry — and as such it is "always on the move between media." The confessional turn in poetry thus quickly spreads across different art forms, transforming stand-up comedy in the '60s, performance art in the '70s, theater in the '80s, and television in the '90s. Each of these moments represents a pivotal instance in which confession seemed to rejuvenate a particular medium. This mobility is powerful in part because of the way it combines a liberating conception of art with a particular understanding of subjectivity, insisting that any depiction of self is always partial and mediated. Rather than some kind of straightforward revelation of naked subjectivity, the examples Grobe underlines thus present a self that is "not quite made present, but also not disappearing just yet, and certainly not an immediate thing: this self is hypermediate, visible only at times (and in parts) as it flashes across a complex media array." On the one hand, this might seem like a distinctively modern model of subjectivity, presenting the constructed subject of poststructuralist theory, say, or the edited persona of reality television. But these complex, mediated selves can be seen in earlier academic and popular accounts of the theatricality of selfhood as well. We might distinguish between what Erving Goffman calls front-stage and back-stage performances of self, but it becomes increasingly difficult to imagine anything like an authentic self, at least not if we imagine authenticity as opposed to performance.
The fact that performance and authenticity have never been neatly opposite even in the most apparently autobiographical form of artistic confession has important implications that radiate outward from the specific literary and art historical narratives Grobe traces. This is evident, for instance, in the way that he explores the complicated legacy of the second-wave feminist technique of Consciousness Raising as it played out in the feminist performance art of the 1970s. Encouraging women to tell their stories as a way of recognizing the connectedness of their struggles, Consciousness Raising turned a generation of feminists into confessional poets. Not surprisingly, the adoption of this kind of confessional practice has often been treated with the same dismissive gestures that have haunted confessional poetry. Critics have faulted this sort of confessional performance art for practicing a kind of artless self-help, betraying a naïve belief in the subject's ability to achieve a kind of facile universality linked to the experience of being a woman. Confessions of this sort have become associated with an essentializing conception of gender and performance that was purportedly superseded in the 1980s by a mode of performance much closer to the sort visible in Judith Butler's account of gender performativity. Feminist and queer theoretical accounts of the performativity of gender unfolded amid discussions of the way that feminist performance art itself was changing. Indeed, Butler published early portions of Gender Trouble in venues like Theatre Journal.
But of course when queer theorists declared in the 1980s and '90s that gender was a kind of performance they did not mean taking to the stage to tell your life's story. Instead, they meant something closer to the idea of drag: an ironized, iterative activity that, rather than revealing some core truth about an individual's experience, revealed instead that the very idea of a core truth was an illusion. The difficulty with this narrative, however, is that the kinds of performance art that underwrite such arguments are more complicated than this received wisdom allows. Examining the performance art of Eleanor Antin and Linda Montano, Grobe explains: "Sincerity and irony, confession and parody, commitment and camp coexisted in this art, appearing together in the same galleries, in the careers of single artists, and even sometimes within one performance." Indeed, the lesson about gender that confessional performance art highlights is less the facileness of a kind of sincerity that must be supplanted by the ironies of camp. Rather, it is the fact that experience and performance of gender and sexuality is often better understood as a kind of "camp sincerity," a dead-serious play with artifice and style that refuses any clear-cut choice between a deconstructed and an essential self.
with confession itself now the norm, this old drama of containment and breakthrough remains. We demand not authenticity, but the spectacle of crumbling artifice; not direct access to the personal, but a sidelong view of the persona falling away; not straight-ahead fact and sincerity, but the roundabout truths of an ironic approach.
The artists Grobe discusses devoted their careers to telling stories about themselves that would evade any attempt to pin them down as straightforward, even while still managing to engage their audience's desire for revelation. For this reason, they can perhaps help us to navigate a contemporary media ecology governed by the algorithmic logics of data aggregation. Grobe shows that these artists might usefully instruct us how better to perform — "to do something" — with our stories. The Art of Confession is itself in this regard an impressive performance, written with an eloquence and uncommon verve that breathes vitality into the genres of academic writing and testifies to the ability of scholarship to move freely between the page, the classroom, and back into life.

Biographical Information[edit]
Abe Wolstenholme, who was born and died in Philadelphia, PA, played three games for the 1883 Philadelphia Quakers. He got one hit, a double, while appearing in the field at catcher and left field.
Although he was young at age 22, many players on the team were as young. The pitching staff, in particular, was very young with an average age of 21.
The Quakers' most-utilized catcher in 1883 was Emil Gross. In 1884 both Wolstenholme and Gross spent at least part of the season on the same team in the Iron & Oil Association.
One observer pointed out that Abe Wolstenholme and Alonzo Breitenstein were among the longest names for a battery. The two, while both on the 1883 Quakers, did not appear in the same game.

First Private Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Open In Texas
VentureBeat's GreenBeat April 13, 2011 Comment Now!
NRG Energy has opened its first eVgo direct-current electric vehicle charging station in Dallas, Texas, as part of a privately funded 70-station network in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, the company announced.
The chargers are designed to be "fast-chargers," which use a 480-volt direct electrical current to charge an electric vehicle enough to drive 30 miles in less than 10 minutes. NRG Energy also plans to open stations that feature a 240-volt Level 2 charger that gives an electric vehicle enough charge to go 25 miles in an hour.
Electric vehicles have been criticized for their lack of range — for example, the Tesla Roadster is only supposed to reach 211 miles before running out of juice. That's not enough to get from Houston to Dallas, which is around 250 miles.

So dotting the corridor with electric vehicle charging stations will alleviate some of the concerns about being able to travel longer distances within the state.
NRG Energy plans to install an extra 50 chargers in Houston and additional chargers along the Interstate 45 corridor that stretches from Dallas to Houston.
The company charges its members a flat monthly rate for access to the chargers, with a cheaper plan for the slower chargers and a more expensive plan for the faster chargers that are available in more public areas — such as outside a Walgreen's drug store.
Still, 10 minutes is a long time to wait for 30 miles of driving power when it takes around 5 minutes to fill up a gas tank for internal combustion engine vehicles that can get more than 30 miles per gallon.
The slow charging times are one of the tougher selling points for electric vehicles — and clearly a sore point that NRG Energy is trying to alleviate by widely publicizing its "fast" chargers. It still isn't clear how well received the charging stations and electric cars will be in Texas and other states that feature wide gaps between major cities.
But the technology is still in its infancy — and it'll probably be easier and faster to charge an electric vehicle in the future.

Arthur Lamont "Tiger" McFarland (July 7, 1874 – August 21, 1959) was an early professional American football player who played with the Greensburg Athletic Association as well as the Latrobe Athletic Association. He later played for the Philadelphia Athletics in the 1902 version of the National Football League and for the 1903 US Football Champions, the Franklin Athletic Club. Sweet also won, with Franklin, the 1903 World Series of Football, held that December at Madison Square Garden.

At the same time McFarland was enjoying his professional career, he also played at the college level. While McFarland played professional football for Greensburg and Latrobe, he still claimed his amateur status by playing for the Washington & Jefferson Presidents. After playing two seasons for the Presidents, McFarland played his two seasons for West Virginia Mountaineers.

For 1906 to 1908, McFarland was the head football coach at Ohio University, compiling a record of 13–10–1 record in three seasons. He died at hospital in Martins Ferry, Ohio in 1959.

In current time in Der Eisendrache, if you look in the teleporter room where the fuses were when you went back in time, there's a camera like the shadow's camera. I dunno if anyone has talked about that yet or if I completely missed the comments but surely that's story related eh?
You might move this question to an active thread, perhaps this one vvv to reduce site clutter.
Awesome! Thanks! If you don't mind deleting this thread, then, that should do it! I wish I could answer the question, myself, but as an Xbox One guy, I still have a bit to wait.


NEW YORK, Nov. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- At a meeting with analysts and investors at its Investor Day here today, members of the senior management team of Quest Diagnostics Incorporated (NYSE: DGX), the world's leading provider of diagnostic information services, plan to discuss the company's industry leadership position and the progress made in executing its strategy to drive shareholder value. A live webcast of the meeting will be broadcast simultaneously beginning at 9 am ET.
Restoring growth, including an expected 3.5% increase in revenues in 2014.
Enhancing efficiency and delivering an expected $700 million in run-rate savings exiting 2014 through the company's Invigorate program – exceeding its target.
Simplifying and strengthening the organization to drive growth and operational excellence.
Refocusing on Quest's core diagnostic information services business, generating $800 million in asset sale proceeds.
Returning cash to shareholders with over $1 billion in share repurchases, raising dividends three times since 2011, and investing $1 billion in seven acquisitions in the past two years.
Revenue growth: The company expects to continue to achieve sequential improvement in organic revenue growth, with overall average revenue growth of 2% to 5% over the next three years. This expected revenue growth includes potential acquisitions.
Cost savings: The company expects to deliver $600 million in additional total run-rate savings over the next three years, bringing the total run-rate savings expected at the end of 2017 to approximately $1.3 billion. The company has identified key opportunities to meet this goal, including the standardization of processes, information technology and equipment, which also support the company's efforts to deliver a superior customer experience.

Iowa misses $338M Powerball jackpot
OSKALOOSA- No one in Iowa won Powerball's $338.3 million jackpot this weekend, but a winning ticket worth $2 million was sold in Oskaloosa.
Iowa lottery officials said the $2 million winning ticket matched the first five numbers but not the Powerball. The ticket was worth $2 million because the buyer purchased a power play option to double the prize.
Shelby Sharp, who works at the Kum andamp; Go that sold the winner, said Sunday morning no one had contacted the store about claiming their winnings yet.
Four other tickets sold in Iowa are worth $10,000 because they matched four numbers.
Those were sold in Council Bluffs, Donnellson, Davenport and Des Moines.
The overall jackpot-winning ticket was sold in New Jersey. The winning numbers were 17-29-31-52-53 and Powerball 31.
