Project Extraordinary
The Wild Studios, the short-film division of Natural History NZ and the WWF-New Zealand launched a video concept competition for creative agencies. The goal is to develop a strategy, concept and storyboard for a short-form video that will present sustainability so sexy that consumers will start to change their behavior. According to the estimates of experts, only one percent of the materials used to produce consumer goods are still in use six months after sale.
In addition, the production of goods require precious resources. For the fabrication of a T-shirt about 2,500 liters of water are needed, for a jeans even 11,000 liters of water. "We know what we need to do; the science is there. The challenge is to make sustainability of our planet desirable. Inspirational. Let's get personal and real", says Marco Lambertini, Director General WWF International. "We need to stop talking in generalities and show every consumer in every corner of the globe exactly how they can be part of the solution."
The three best concepts that are selected by the project Extraordinary jury will be filmed and produced by Wild Studios, in collaboration with the winning agencies. The winner's video will be premiered at this forum, on Tuesday 19 June 2018, in the Grand Auditorium Louis Lumière at Cannes Lions 2018. "This is a history-making opportunity for a creative agency", underlines Carolyn Managh, Executive Producer at Wild Studios. "To go beyond the documentary format typically applied to this topic and find a sexy and relevant way to reinvent the way sustainability is pitched to global consumers is clearly no small feat. This is why we've opened the challenge up to the best creative minds around the world".
The goal of the project Extraordinary is to encourage one billion consumers globally to make more than 50% of their purchases based on sustainability as one of the top three decision triggers by 2020. Agencies that want to submit their concept to the project Extraordinary need to pay a fee of NZD$725 to WWF-New Zealand.

"The time for half-measures and climate denial is over. Unless we move quickly away from fossil fuels, we're going to destroy the air we breathe, the water we drink, the health of our children, grandchildren and future generations. If we're going to avoid the worst of the impacts, then we've just got to act boldly. And we must act immediately."

"The media has a powerful role to play in the fight against climate change. Through films, television, and all media outlets, we must continue to deliver the message that solutions are out there and are happening now. We have to make it attractive for people to take action. Movies like Avatar, The Day After Tomorrow, and documentaries like Years of Living Dangerously, which I was proud to be a part of, have been very popular, reaching and inspiring millions of people. And I believe films in particular can really inspire and make people want to take action. It's great to see some of my film-industry friends working with climate related organizations to push forward those messages."

"It's high time to reorganize film production in Germany in a 'greener' and more sustainable way. So far, I am flabbergasted by how much our industry works in environmentally harmful ways.To this very day, it starts with until today one-sided print-outs of scripts, and then it continues with plastic bottles in production offices and lots of plastic waste with every catered meal, and it doesn't stop with the limousines that pull up to a red carpet.
For many years, people have sneered at me when I brought my own cup or I declined to eat cheap meat served on paper or plastic plates with plastic knives and forks. It would be great if the Green Shooting Card could change all that."

"It's absolutely great that filmmakers all over the world are trying to clean up their act, and are trying to film as sustainable as we possibly can. Still, I think we shouldn't underestimate the incredible power of the moving image to also change the hearts and minds of people.
So, apart from trying to be more environmentally aware in our business, I think the big gain lies in how we might make everyone more environmentally aware. Yes, cinema can change the world.
I think filmmakers should start using the powerful weapon in our hands that is the camera.
Let's not only try to do 'less bad'. Let's try to do right, and help drive the change that we all know needs to arrive."

"We are living in a time in which we can't afford to behave irresponsibly towards nature. The more important is it that film productions try to work as environmentally friendly as possible. A film team produces every day tons of garbage. I try to avoid using plastic cups on set, I bring my own cup, use ecofriendly cosmetics and avoid needless single rides."

"When we did Noah we knew we were making a film about the first steward of the earth, so we wanted to be good stewards ourselves. There's so much waste on film sets. Because of groups like Earth Angel, we were able to change that a little bit."
We are very much part of a (recycling) program. We are trying to do all of those things to the best of our ability – sustainability."

"As a TV and film producer I try to incorporate environmental storylines into my projects as much as possible. But it's just as important, if not more, to 'go green' behind the scenes! Therefore, I help run the Producers Guild of America's Green Initiative.
We provide resources such as a Best Practices and a Carbon Calculator to help producers green their productions. We also partnered with all the major studios to create www.greenproductionguide.com which is a free green vendor database with over 2,000 vendors offering sustainable production solutions worldwide!"
"As for me, I would be very glad if I had the opportunity to act green. Our environment is our inspiration so we need to protect it."

So that's my small but steadfast global contribution. I think everybody doing a little bit is all that's made any difference, ever.'
"Trumbull Studios in Massachusetts is dedicated to being green as much as possible, including the use of LED lighting, solar power, and solar laptops. This is not just because our location has limited amperage and no three-phase, we believe we have a responsibility to our community and our planet to be a clean industry.
We are planning for digital photography in 3D 4K at 120 frames per second from remote and inaccessible locations that will not have available power. Solar is the way to go."
"The Berlinale is already actively addressing the sustainability subject since years. We appreciate it very much that a growing number of filmmakers, among them this year's jury presiden Darren Aranofsky, is following green guidelines on set."
'I never have been told precisely what the rules are for shooting a green movie, but we are trying to do it. This is something new for me. Sometimes people overlight scenes at night. I don't. If I can see with my own eyes, then it is enough for the film. In that sense I am a green DoP.'

Academy Award winner Jeremy Irons who stars in the Berlinale Competition entry The Night Train To Lisbon is a fan of source segregated recycling. "Especially in Germany you have done a lot for that. You are examplary in the matter of waste separation."
The Hollywood actor travelled around the world to promote the environmntal documentary feature film Trashed by Candida Brady which deals with the global garbage problem: "We buy it, we bury it, we burn it and then we ignore it", says Brady. "With Jeremy Irons as our guide, we discover what happens to the billion or so tons of waste that goes unaccounted for each year."
Since the world premiere at the International Cannes Film Festival in 2012 Trashed picked up various nominations and awards at international festivals.

Synopsis: Hushpuppy (Wallis) is a 6-year-old girl living in a New Orleans-like area called "The Bathtub" with her father, Wink (Henry). Wink does his best to prepare his daughter for a universe where he's no longer around, and when he falls ill and the area floods for numerous reasons, Hushpuppy starts to learn hard and fast about what her universe will be like someday.
Andrew: Hello readers! Yesterday afternoon Sarah and I went and saw Beasts of the Southern Wild at a theatre in Hartford, since it has yet to come to our local AMC. This is a movie that has been making some noise because of its young star, Quvenzhane Wallis, who plays 6-year-old Hushpuppy. She's being lauded for her performance – some even going so far as to say she should be nominated for an Oscar – in a film that's a fantastical, fictional take on what happened in the New Orleans region and the flooding there.
So we finally checked it out, and I have to be honest…maybe it's just that it wasn't the right day for us to see it or I wasn't in the right mood or frame of mind, but I just did not get it. I…I mean, I GET IT, but at the same time I did not like Beasts of the Southern Wild.
Sarah: Yeah, I'm not quite sure what we were missing that everyone has seemed to taken away from this movie. While Wallis does a FANTASTIC job for a 5-year-old, portraying a lot of emotion through her facial expressions, I didn't quite see the appeal.
There were several things that I found wrong with the movie, and while it was a beautiful movie, the hand-held camera technique used to film it was VERY distracting, in my opinion.
A: I'm going to go with a stronger word than "distracting." It was nauseating to me. And this almost NEVER happens to me, but the camera movements in this film gave me a headache. One of the strongest headaches I can ever remember getting. And I never, NEVER walk out of a movie but I seriously considered it yesterday because I could not take the shaky camera movement.
Now, I understand why Benh Zeitlin and his cinematographer Ben Richardson shot it like that. It was low budget, it made it feel like you were right there with the characters, and a lot of the time it worked fine! But a lot of the time it was completely unnecessary, completely took me out of the movie, and it probably put me in a bad mood. Which I'll totally own up to. It gave me a headache early on and for the rest of the film it probably put me in a bad frame of mind to watch the rest of it.
S: I didn't find…I understood the connection that Hushpuppy had with her father. I thought that was very prominent throughout the movie and was really heartwarming. I'd even say that I think that Dwight Henry's performance as Hushpuppy's dad, Wink, was more Oscar-worthy than Wallis'.
A: I completely agree. I mean, neither one of them was an actor before this movie, but Henry was apparently just a shop-owner who the filmmakers really liked when he auditioned for the part. THAT'S an Oscar-worthy story.
A: And a lot of her lines are voice-overs.
S: Yes, a LOT of them are. And they're her, but done after the fact.
S: No! Of course not!
A: Because of course all actors are coached and have multiple takes done…but I agree with you. I think Henry does a phenomenal job. I wasn't enamored with the script because a lot of times (and maybe this was supposed to be his character) but he repeated the same things over and over and over again. It grated on me.
S: It really got to us. And I will applaud them for that. Because I'll tell you that I never walk out of movies either – I think it's one of the rudest things you can do – but I was bored. And I don't fall asleep in movies but I found myself shutting my eyes and just kind of resting them. And that, I feel…when we left I just wondered what we missed in the overall picture. Because we just didn't see it.
So we ask you, readers and fellow bloggers, please explain to us what we missed. If we could understand this movie a little more than of course we might get a better appreciation for it.
A: And I'll be happy to go back and watch it on DVD and figure it out, but I just don't see where the "4 out of 4 stars" reviews are coming from. But the thing to me is just…this film came off as VERY pretentious a lot of the time.
S: It's very much like a film-student's project.
Long story short, can somebody please explain to us what the heck the deal with the aurochs is? Please? Was it really just for this one scene where Hushpuppy stands up to them?
A: And "pretentious" is just the word that keeps popping up in my head, and I don't know why. I will say that it was strong at the beginning when we're being introduced to The Bathtub and Hushpuppy, it was strong at the end, but the middle ground lost me. And I really do want to know what Hushpuppy whispered in her mom's ear at the end. That's something that will always keep me wondering.
S: Totally. Also, was it even her mother? We never actually see her mother's face when her dad is telling stories about her, but Hushpuppy identified with the woman.
A: Well, I think it was because the woman makes crocodile for Hushpuppy, and that's what Wink says her mother made the night she was conceived, so I think that was their way of showing it was her. But maybe it wasn't! Zeitlin kind of left that gray.
Overall, the beginning was good, the middle ground lost us, the end was fine, but I just found it pretentious and I did not get aurochs. Those big pig creatures? I didn't understand what the point of them was.
S: Me neither. So yeah, overall Beasts of the Southern Wild is not a bad movie, it just didn't connect with us.
A: And it made us nauseous. Like, literally dizzy. Well probably have to give it another shot, but absolutely readers, if you would like to discuss this with us we would love that.
S: Yes. And I'd say we'd suggest not seeing this in theatres. The chances of you getting to see it in theatres is slim anyway, but I think because of the hand-cam it makes it a tough one ot watch on the big screen.
Thank you for the comment! We haven't had a chance to check out "Hyde Park on Hudson" yet but now that we hear they employ some of the same camera techniques, that kind of worries us!

Emma Peel
Emma Peel was a fictional television spy played by Diana Rigg in the British 1960s adventure series The Avengers. She was born Emma Knight, the daughter of an industrialist, Sir John Knight.
The partner of John Steed, Mrs Peel was introduced as a replacement for the popular Cathy Gale, played by actress Honor Blackman, who left the series at the end of the programme's third season to co-star in the James Bond film Goldfinger.
Elizabeth Shepherd was cast as Emma Peel and production on the fourth season began. After filming all of one episode and part of a second, however, the producers decided that Shepherd was not right for the part, and she was dismissed. No footage of Shepherd as Peel is known to have survived.
The producers scrambled to find a replacement and found her in Diana Rigg; the Shepherd episodes were subsequently re-filmed.
The character was notable for a number of characteristics. She is a feminist heroine, eschewing traditional "damsel-in-distress" portrayals of women (she is rarely bested in any fight and rescues Steed as often as he rescues her.) She is a master of martial arts and a formidable fencer. A certified genius, she specializes in chemistry and other sciences. She is often seen in episodes engaging in artistic hobbies and had success in industry at the helm of the company of her late father, Sir John Knight. The name "Emma Peel" is a play on the phrase "Man Appeal" or "M. Appeal", which the production team stated was one of the required elements of the character.
Her style of dress typified the period, and the character is still a fashion icon. John Bates was brought in as the costume designer for Emma Peel in the second half of Season 4. He created a wardrobe of black and white op-art mod clothing and miniskirts. Before this, people had believed that lines, circles and other bold patterns would not work on the television cameras of the day. It was also filmed before the miniskirt had become mainstream. Bates even had to stop leaving hems on the miniskirts because the production team kept lowering them again. He also licensed his designs to several manufacturers under the Avengerswear label and these pieces were sold in various shops throughout the country. She is often best-remembered for the leather catsuit she wore early on in her first season, but in fact Rigg disliked wearing leather and John Bates designed softer stretch jersey and PVC catsuits for her instead. For the colour season, the designer was Alun Hughes who used bold colours and lurid, psychedelic patterns. Hughes also created the Emmapeeler catsuit which was made of stretch jersey in bright block colours. The Emmapeelers and several other pieces from this season's wardrobe were also licensed and sold in the shops. She drove a convertible Lotus Elan at high speeds, and convincingly portrayed any series of undercover roles, from nurse to nanny. Her favorite guise was that of a women's magazine reporter, trying to interview big business tycoons and rich playboys.
Peel's interactions with Steed range from witty banter to sexual tension. The tension was never broken except for a chaste peck on the cheek she gives Steed at the end of her final episode before departing with her husband, Peter Peel. He was a test pilot and was lost on a mission. When he returns, at the end of "The Forget-Me-Knot", Peel leaves Steed and her spy career behind. In the distant shot in which he appears, Peter Peel looks suspiciously like Steed.
In real life, Diana Rigg had chosen to leave the series for a number of reasons, one of which was in order to accept a role in the James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service. She also experienced ongoing conflict with the series producers (she later said she discovered she was being paid less than the cameraman).
Emma Peel was replaced by the much younger agent Tara King played by actress Linda Thorson, but appeared one last time in an episode of The New Avengers entitled "K is for Kill." Rigg had declined an offer to appear on the series, so stock footage of her from an Avengers episode was used instead.

What is Purchase of Development Rights?
A Purchase of Development Rights (PDR) program pays you to protect your land from development and keep it open for agricultural use. Most PDR programs are flexible and farm-friendly. When you sell your development rights under a PDR program, you get paid the difference between the value of your land with restrictions promoting agriculture and its value for development. A conservation easement is placed on the property that outlines how your land is restricted. The conservation easement is a perpetual document that will protect your farm forever.
If you are interested in protecting your farm, give us a call and we can discuss your farmland protection options. We can get an idea of your goals for your farm and the best approach for its protection.
The next step is to meet with DLC at your farm so we can see the land and get an idea of your current agricultural use of the farm and your future plans. We can discuss the various PDR programs and the most appropriate funding program for your farm given your plans. At this time, we highly recommend that you consult with your legal and/or tax professionals. Farmers often incorporate selling development rights as part of their estate planning process. It is very important that you understand and consider the financial implications of selling your development rights. DLC can provide you with a list of attorneys and other professionals that can assist you with this important decision.
If after talking to DLC staff, you determine that you are interested in selling your development rights, the next step would be to complete a Dutchess County Farmland Protection Board questionnaire and write a letter stating that you are interested in selling your development rights. DLC can provide you with a copy of the questionnaire and an example of the letter. The questionnaire asks you various questions about the current and possible future use of your farm. It also asks you to consider things such as the number of farmstead complexes you would like on the property, potential reserved sites for family members, and the interest of family members in continuing the farming operation. These are all important considerations and DLC can help you complete the questionnaire.
Once we have received your questionnaire and letter of intent and we have determined the best source(s) of funding for your project, we can proceed with the grant application(s). Most PDR grant programs require a municipality or land trust to be the grant applicant rather than the farmer. Therefore, depending upon the source of funding, DLC will reach out to the County or your town to discuss the most appropriate entity to be the grant applicant. Dutchess County and local municipalities have been very supportive of farmland protection efforts and when necessary have been more than willing to act as the grant applicant.
DLC will work with you and the grant applicant (if not DLC) to prepare the PDR application. Most applications will be submitted to Dutchess County or to the State of New York Department of Agriculture and Markets. The County's farmland protection program deadlines are currently January 31st and July 31st. The State's deadline varies but typically it is in the fall.
Depending upon the grant program, it is typically six months before we will hear if a grant has been awarded to purchase the development rights on your farm.
If we receive notice that a grant has been awarded, DLC will work with you to prepare and obtain all the necessary documents to complete the project. With your help, DLC will draft a conservation easement that reflects your plans for the farm as were stated in the PDR application. Other documentation to complete the project includes a survey of the farm, title commitment, and appraisal. Additionally, depending upon the source of the grant and the amount awarded, we may need to work together to raise additional funds to complete the project. Alternatively, some farmers find it financially beneficial to accept less than the full value of their development rights in what is called a "bargain sale." The bargain sale may be considered a charitable gift and you could potentially qualify for a tax deduction.
After all the PDR program requirements are met and we have received funding, the final step is the closing. At the closing, you will sign the conservation easement and be paid for your development rights. The conservation easement is recorded with the County Clerk and runs with the title of the land so that future owners will abide by the terms that you set forth and your farm will be protected forever.
Most PDR projects are completed in approximately three years. This may vary depending upon the number of partners involved and the sources of funding. DLC will be in touch with you throughout the PDR project to keep you informed as to where we are in the process. Completing a PDR project is a very lengthy process and the time to complete the project should be part of your considerations when deciding whether to sell your development rights.

Pics from last week online!
Pictures of the Amsterdam award ceremony and our performance in the Vondelpark last week are online now in the 'Get To Know' - section. On other news, our new single Mystery Repeats just entered the Dutch Top 40 at number 35.


A Grade 1 artiste from China's Shenzhen Cantonese Opera Troupe, Wong Wai Kuan (Huang Wei Kun) is a talented "wen wu sheng" who is well known for his mellifluous singing. He is able to perform both literary and acrobatic works. From the role of a youth to that of an old man or from the role of an awe-inspiring warrier to that of a graceful young lady, Wong has no difficulty handling them at all. Wong has played the leading role in many operas, and has won in many competitions, which includes the Guangdong Province Art Festival, Hundred Flowers Award and the Advance Culture Worker Award on the provincial and city level.


I've played through the game two times now (on easy and normal) and I'm about to play it on the hardest difficulty next. The problem is that a lot of the game is scripted, so I know what is going to happen the third time around. Even the second play through I knew what was going to happen. The experience that came with the first play through was amazing. There was so much suspense and jump scares, on top of the mystery of the Baker family and not knowing when you were going to run into them next. After beating the game the first time I knew what was going to happen. I'm wanting to play the game more than once because there are so many unlockables that you can't get in just one play through. That is the biggest draw back to this game I think. The game would have been a lot better if the monsters or even the Bakers weren't scripted to spawn at certain locations at specific points in the game. Not knowing where the next enemy was going to show up would keep you on your toes. Peeking around corners and getting that feeling of not knowing when the next encounter was going to be made the first play through of the game so amazing, and made it truly feel like a horror game.
Does anyone else agree with me? In your opinion what was the biggest disappointment/drawback about the game?
I think the disappointment of this game is there's no longevity of the game, I watched Markiplier playthrough the game and he did a pretty good job of it and it had some good moments, I even enjoyed the email of Mia when she was so cheerful and sweet talking Ethan, I thought she was a real person at first but after watching the LP I don't think I have intrest in buying it myself. Maybe for the VR but definitely not the regular version.


If you haven't noticed yet, still images get lost in the crowd on social media. Viewers are more interested in moving images and thus explainer videos attract more attention. Videos are also a unique opportunity to send subtle signals of professionalism to your targets as well as have a regular excuse to show off your work. And, videos help small businesses reach those crucial seven exposures that are considered necessary for your audience to "know" your brand – to recognize and remember it- as well as to begin the process of having them trust and like you. "Know, like, and trust" is the marketer's mantra.
Now, what about architecture design? Or home interior design firms, do they need explainer videos or not, YES they do, it's extremely easy to show a house, apartment, office or a space in 3D or 2D, whether you're selling, showing or making one. Architecture design explainer videos are great when it comes to home interior design, the reason being is making the whole concept easier to understand and grasp. Such home interior design videos focus on telling the story of specific features related to their niche, they allow us to bring the viewer into deeper appreciation of the design process, rather than just seeing the whole view. And, they are a great excuse to get regular marketing buzz going for your Architecture design brand as there will always be a new one coming out that we get to promote across all social channels!
We tend to create these for clients every couple of months so that your social audience is always getting fresh content and your collection of videos grows over the years. Like the Architecture design Promo Videos, they will be promoted with advertising dollars to your targeted audiences every month, so that the investment in these benefits you across the months and years to come. The content on these home interior design explainer videos comes directly from you, the client. You can choose to describe it according to your design process, inspiration, products used, etc. From a buyer's perspective, it's the most helpful thing they can use while purchasing a house, space or an apartment, a video can show them around the place without going to the actual location, thus saving time and effort.
Now, from a constructor or a contractor's point of view, 2D and 3D architecture design videos provide extensive support and help in making complex structures or even showcase their portfolio work. They can easily animate their designs onto a video and showcase it to clients and customers, post it on their social media channels or even send them as proposals. It's a cost-effective to all architectural needs of the people and the sellers, not only does it save money and effectively reaches out to people but it makes sure that your work gets the best visual display of sense that it needs to engage viewers.

Q: How to shortcut a variable in C#? I'm accessing a value object as follows: accounts[accountNum]
I want to do some minor manipulation on this object, ie: increase it by something, etc. Rather than typing "accounts[accountNum] += something" I'd rather do something like this:
MemberData account =  accounts[accountNum];
account.balance += something;

Ie: "account" should be a direct pointer, reference, or somehow "be equivalent to" typing "accounts[accountNum]". But since this is a value type and not a reference type, it makes a copy and I cannot manipulate that object directly.
All my research on using "ref" seems to talk about using it within method parameters and return types, not in variables. Is there a simple way to shortcut a long variable name whilst still referencing the same object?

A: Since C# 7 you can use local ref variables:
  ref int niceName = ref localVariable.Values.SubArray.Here;
  niceName += 20;

Note that you can not use this in async methods. And it does neither work with properties nor indexers (except for arrays).

R.I.P. Luke Perry, heartthrob star of 'Beverly Hills, 90210'
By: Decades Staff Posted: March 4, 2019
Image: The Everett Collection
Last week, Luke Perry, the '90s teen heartthrob of Beverly Hills, 90210, suffered a stroke, reported as "massive" by TMZ. Today, the actor, who currently appears as Archie's dad on Riverdale, passed away. He was 52 years old.
The Ohio native began his acting career as an adolescent in the 1980s. He landed an early gig in the 1985 Twisted Sister music video "Be Chrool to Your Scuel." That opened the door to stints on daytime soap operas Loving and Another World.
Perry's leap to stardom arrived in 1990, when Aaron Spelling cast the young man to portray Dylan McKay on Beverly Hills, 90210. McKay was the dark and moody cool kid of West Beverly High School Class of '93.
Recently, Perry found a career revival on a Gen-Z teen drama, as he portrayed Fred Andrews on Riverdale, the dark reboot of Archie Comics for the CW. The hit series cast several former Gen-X pinups in the adult roles, including Molly Ringwald, who played Archie's mother.
Over the past week, as Perry suffered his medical issues, news broke that 90210 would return in 2019 with original cast members. However, Perry was reportedly not attached to the project yet.

Re: 14th KS Cav at Ft Smith, Feb 1864
In Response To: Re: 14th KS Cav at Ft Smith, Feb 1864 ()
I have found a couple of references on this for you. All are quoted in Whit Edwards' book, "The Prairie was on Fire."
Private George Ross of Company I, Third Indian Home Guard, wrote that a regiment of Kansas cavalry was ordered from Fort Smith and was expected to link up with Col. Phillips' column. He reported that the destination of the expedition was "Boggy or 'Pike's Ditches'."
Colonel D.N. McIntosh wrote that the raid was made at the "mouth of the Little River." He was on his way to the Council but returned to Boggy Depot where he found that his command had already left. He reported that he was unable to overtake them, but that the Federals by then had returned in the direction of Fort Gibson. He noted that they took no prisoners but killed anyone who fell into their hands.
Sgt. Jacob Perryman of the First Indian Home Guard wrote that his unit moved south on February 9, 1864, and returned on the 22nd of that month. He reported that 110 Confederates were killed, "mostly Indians." He went on to note that most of these were "killed at their homes" due to orders from Colonel Phillips not to take prisoners. He noted that the expedition went to Little River, crossed the Canadian and went "near to Boggy" and returned bringing prisoners that had been taken (and obviously not killed) by the 14th Kansas Cavalry.
Brig. Gen. John Thayer reported that his advance, commanded by Major Willetts of the 14th Kansas, had fought a sharp engagement against a force of Seminoles, Choctaws and Texans. He reported that the Southern troops were routed and that 47 were killed. He indicated the number of wounded was not known.
2nd Lt. Riley Perryman of Company H, 1st Creek Mounted Volunteers, wrote that Federal troops had penetrated as far as "Mill Creek in the Chickasaw Nation" before turning back, taking with them all the women and children they captured. He also noted that the Creek troops were scattered at the time of the advance and no one was sure how many had been killed, although it was estimated that at least 30 or 40 had died.
Corp. Christian Isely of Company F, Second Kansas Cavalry, wrote that his unit was part of the column that left Fort Smith. He reported that it crossed the Ouachita River and "took mountain paths and roads" to intercept a Confederate force reported to be at Caddo Gap. They arrived too late, however. He does describe robbing homes and farms and mentioned that a Confederate force "made an attack on our camp and fired briskley among us." He reported only one man wounded and noted that the Confederates fell back across the mountains.
Based on these notes, it would appear that there were at least two expeditions that left Fort Smith at the same time. The 14th Kansas crossed over for Northfork Town, capturing a number of prisoners, while a second expedition that included at least units of the Second Kansas Cavalry that moved south, crossed the Ouachita River and fought a minor skirmish with Confederate troops near Caddo Gap.

Donald Trump's Apocalypse Is a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
Whatever happens in November, the forecast is more stormy weather ahead.
October 13, 2016 1:30
photo above: Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump arrives to a campaign rally at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, Tuesday, August 9, 2016. (AP Photo / Evan Vucci)
an excerpt:
In the United States, meanwhile, Trump's economic plans would further widen the gulf between the haves and have-nots, making a mockery of the blue-collar support he has attracted. He would hand considerable power over to evangelicals when it comes to transforming social policy and, by way of his Supreme Court nominations, influence the future well beyond his own term in office. Inspired by his example, alt-right forces would unquestionably bring their battles onto the streets of American cities.
Nor is Trump alone. Some version of his populist extremism can be found in every corner of the globe, from Vladimir Putin's Russia and Viktor Orban's Hungary to Recep Tayyip Erdogan's Turkey, Rodrigo Duterte's Philippines, and Daniel Ortega's Nicaragua — not to mention the countries of other politicians, like France's Marine Le Pen, who hope to seize power someday. Such leaders may be divided by religion, ethnicity, and even putative political ideology, but they all believe in putting their nation — and their personal ambitions — above the common global good. Individually, they are intent on constructing illiberal orders in their countries. Collectively, they are bent on destroying that fragile entity known as the international community and, thanks to climate change, the planet that goes with it.
Next month's election is important. But the core supporters of Donald Trump are not going to move to Canada — or Russia — if their candidate loses. Those who crave the simplistic, authoritarian solutions offered by dangerous populists around the world are not going to retreat into political apathy simply because of the scorn heaped upon them by the mainstream. The apocalyptic rhetoric of Trump and his followers is a self-fulfilling prophecy. The gale-force winds of this populist hurricane have been intensified by decades of polarizing economic and social policies. Whatever happens in November, the forecast is for more stormy weather ahead.

Brandon Mimms, who ditched traditional marketing and opted to pursue digital marketing
By IBTimes SG Desk
"There is no secret to success. In my experience trying to "get rich quick" or looking for an easy way to make money is exactly the opposite of what a true entrepreneur would do. It takes hard work and a lot of hours to become successful. Even with all of that you can still fail. What's important is that you continue to learn from your mistakes and work harder and smarter the next time around.", said Brandon Mimms, a social media expert.
Brandon Mimms is a successful entrepreneur, born and raised in the city of Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada. He always had an entrepreneurial mindset and knew he had a passion for digital marketing. He worked hard for content creation and monetization throughout high school. After school, he decided to pursue an education in Sales and Marketing. As soon as he graduated he began working temporarily, got a 9-5 job to pay his bills, and also started creating, experimenting, and maintaining his very first Twitter account." Thanks to social media I have been able to meet a lot of people and work with several brands I never thought I would have otherwise.", Mimms remarked.
Around ten years ago he started with his Twitter account on social media, he created and experimented with content. Soon he observed that the largest growing accounts often had a female demographic with content focused on popular media, fashion, and trends. He created his first page following this demographic and content style. He saw rapid success in a few of his growth strategies, his Twitter account growing nearly 500,000 followers in less than a week.
After that, he had a few successful accounts which showed him the power of social media. "I determined the best way to generate revenue off Twitter and expanded my approach across multiple platforms over the years.", Mimms stated.
When asked about the most exciting thing about his business, he said," growth excites me most about all my business endeavors. I love taking something from the bottom or starting from scratch and making it into everything I envisioned & more. Amazingly, getting to see the outcome of all the hours I put in and seeing the impact I have on my audience makes it all worthwhile. "
At present Mimms works with various firms such as PUBG mobile and Runescape, E11Gaming along with numerous verified artists, NHL players, and social media influencers. He is also working with businesses from the Niagara region to help them develop and improve their social media marketing skills.
Mimms continues to invest heavily in social media. Recently he made one of his boldest acquisitions yet, obtaining @USA. Mimms looks forward to the construction of a digital marketing agency and hopes to pass on his knowledge of social media to others who can learn from him.
"I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Just like my accounts, I am continuously growing. My network, outreach, and influence, I continue to grow with every transaction and post I make. I am always growing, expanding my knowledge, and learning about the latest and greatest. I plan to continue growing my brand on social media and hope to be a mentor for young individuals fresh on the social media scene. I will continue investing my time, money, and hard work into my businesses.", Mimms remarked
Brandon believes in the quote, "97% of the people who quit too soon are employed by the 3% who didn't" by Jordan Belfort.
With a huge passion for travel, Mimms has visited over 25 countries and plans to go to every continent. "With social media as a job I am lucky to be able to work remotely and accomplish other goals while doing it", Mimms said.

Q: android locationManager didn't callback onLocationChanged in LocationListener I am developing an android app to track user's location. The problem is requestLocationUpdates() has been called but no response to LocationListener.
p.s. The GPS indicator is shown in the top status bar after requestLocationUpdates() called.
p.s. There is no such problem when using android 4.0 or before. After my Galaxy nexus is updated to 4.1, this problem occurred. Is this related to OS problem?
Anyone have idea one this? Many thanks!
the Manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

the locationManager:
LocationManager lm = (LocationManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

The locationListener:
private final LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener() {

    @Override
    public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
        System.out.println("onLocationChanged");
    }

    @Override
    public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
        System.out.println("onProviderDisabled");
    }

    @Override
    public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
        System.out.println("onProviderEnabled");
    }

    @Override
    public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
        System.out.println("onStatusChanged");
    }
};

How it start:
Criteria c = new Criteria();
c.setAccuracy(Criteria.ACCURACY_FINE);

final String PROVIDER = lm.getBestProvider(c, true);
lm.requestLocationUpdates(PROVIDER, 600000, 0, locationListener);

Rock Star Knitting – Page 2 – I knit, therefore I rock.
So, lately I have been knitting stuffed toys from Knit Animals Friends by Annie's, and I'm doing finishing work on a bunny and am working on a dog as a follow up. The photo at the top is where I left off with the bunny. He's taking shape!
I decided to knit toys because I came across the pamphlet of patterns that I had purchased a while ago. And, I had poly fill, but apparently not enough for Mr. Incomplete Bunny up there.
It's been fun to knit these toys. Each animal starts off with a basic shape and basic sweater. All of them have similar finishing, but embellishments, ears, noses, and muzzles make them different animals. It's a neat ideas and very smart.
I've had to keep an especially hard eye on Sputnik when working on the stuffed toy because he thinks all stuffed animals are his to destroy. Silly doggo.
If you are interested in purchasing the pattern, you can get it for Kindle. Click on the affiliate link below if you are interested.
It finally happened. Sputnik, my almost nine month old puppy, got into my one knitting storage chest and got at a skein of Lopi Einband yarn that I needed to use on my Faroese shawl that I work from time to time. Bad dog.
I can understand why Sputnik went after it: it's wool! It smells like an animal.
Luckily, and surprisingly, he left the actual project alone. I'm thankful for that.
It's one of those crazy situations that you have laugh, really. Still, I'm not amused. I think the skein is salvageable. I still have it and put it in a sealing freezer storage bag, and away from the dog. I'll have to take a look at it when he's not looking.
Stitch Mountain: 30 Warm Knits for Conquering the Cold by by Laura Zander is a cool book. I got it in one of the fun bookstores in the Outer Banks, NC, USA a few years ago. I saw the Snowflake Turtleneck pattern in there and knit it, and TOTALLY messed it up. I think I botched the shoulder shaping. I dissected the completed faulty sweater the other day, and that's what I think. I never did write a post about its completion because I was too ashamed and frustrated from having a messed up sweater.
After analyzing that sweater, I decided to give it another go. I cast on with a creamy white worsted yarn that I had left over from another project, and there's plenty of it for a nice sweater. It took three tries to get there right gauge, but I did, so I know at least that correct!
So, here's to giving it another go, and hopefully I can show off a completed sweater before the weather gets warm again. I'm being cautiously optimistic that I will have a correct fitting sweater this time, too!
My friend Mary is an art teacher, and is currently working with students at the Quarryville Public Library in Quarryville, PA, USA by having them create ATC's, which is sort for artist trading cards. Artists and members of community are being encouraged to create ATC's themselves, and to send the cards to the library, and, in return, you'll get cards back for the kids. It's a great way to encourage and interact with kids through art! Learn more about this great program over on my artist page on Facebook. Don't hesitate to participate!
I sent in five cards, and if return, I received five back. Top image was created by Frances N., and is titled "Do What You Want After All You Choose :). The smiley face is included in the title she wrote on the back of the card. I love it!
Here are the other cards. I really like them! It's great to see the creativity and thought process kids and other artists have with these ATC's.
I love these, right down to the titles. Thanks, Quarryville Public Library!
ATC's aren't hard to do, really. Follow the instructions in the article to find out how to make your own. You can also buy ATC sized paper at craft and art stores.
Get busy and start creating! For those fiber artists out there, think outside the box. All that scrap yarn from woven ends and tangled messes? Cut it up and think of what you can do with that! Add some glitter paint, and you have some pretty cool art.
