It took about 490 years for government officials in Bern, Switzerland, to ask for forgiveness for persecution of Anabaptists in the region. It took less than two to get a response from Swiss Mennonites.

"Reformed and Anabaptist are branches from the same tree," said Hanspeter Jecker, a Mennonite theologian from Switzerland. "Anabaptist convictions that once were controversial—such as the voluntary nature of church membership and rejection of capital punishment—are now accepted by many Christian groups.

I recently spent three days at a wonderful celebration of the life and work of the Rev. Dr. Jerome Berryman. The 2017 North American Godly Play Conference began with an introduction to Godly Play and an invitation to "Draw the Circle Wider." The first evening was an 80th birthday party for Jerome, who has spent his entire life dedicated to the spiritual formation of children.
VTS was well represented by graduates of the MDiv, MACE, and DMin programs. The Rev. Dr. Cheryl Minor, VTS 19991 gave a presentation on the future of Godly Play. Since 2000, Minor has also been a Godly Play trainer. She serves on the Board of Directors and the Education Committee. In her new position as Director of the Center for the Theology of Childhood, Minor will assist Visiting Fellows in their research as well as continue to work with Berryman on new publications and new editions of classic publications.

The Fox. A carnivorous ginger creature credited with considerable cunning.
Foxes appear well in the Furries genre.
Foxes.org - looks like cybersquatters now.
After rats and cats became co-habiting creatures alongside humans in the built-up environment, foxes appeared. This is surely quite a cunning move by the fox, as it is much more difficult for folks on horses with packs of dogs to go charging about in the urban environment, over people's garden walls and through alleyways with dustbins etc.
(Picture of a fox acquired from Wikipedia under the free copying arrangement there for certain images. See Wikipedia on the Fox).


A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 184. This week Marco Arment wrote a post on his blog titled "Apple has lost the functional high ground" expressed a frustration and concern that many of us in the Apple community have expressed. "Is Apple's quality slipping?". Later Marco posted a follow up expressing regrets for the post, but I'm not sure he should have. What he had to say was something many of us have been thinking. Putting it out there opens community discourse and in this episode I talk about my reaction and the reactions of other influencers in our community to this post.


Exposed to the elements and punished by frequent washing of dirty dishes, your hands can easily age. Hand lotion keeps skin and cuticles hydrated and healthy. For a deep spa-like treatment, slather on George's Cream under a pair of hand gloves and wear overnight. In the morning you'll give yourself the softest high-five ever.
Because skin is a living organ, it needs oxygen to survive. When you normally exfoliate the body, you are increasing blood circulation, bringing blood to surface layers & oxygenating the cells. Also focus on rough spots like elbows & knees while scrubbing. Then, moisturize with George's Cream Skin Cream or Lotion.

Acquacotta: Recipes and Stories from Tuscany's Secret Silver Coast
1 2 Quantity
Acquacotta is a celebration of the traditional cuisine of a lesser known part of Tuscany, the Silver Coast, which forms part of the territory of Maremma. Acquacotta, literally meaning "cooked water", is Maremma's most famous dish, a soup made of slowly simmered tomatoes and onions and poached eggs. There are countless variations, and every town has its own. The book includes personal stories, memories and lessons from the people (producers, winemakers, breeders, fisherman) Emiko has met. The Silver Coast is a geographically quite narrow area in the southernmost coastal part of the region – and includes the island-like promontory of Monte Argentario, the island of Giglio, the lagoon town of Orbetello and the last Tuscan town on the border of Lazio, Capalbio. Surrounded by thick, wild boar-inhabiting, forest-covered hills and twisted, ancient olive trees, the area is known for its rustic peasant cooking, where hearty soups, hand-reared chickens or rabbits, foraged wild vegetables, mushrooms and chestnuts and wild-caught game have long provided sustenance - and still colour the local cuisine. Acquacotta will champion the food Emiko loves to eat and cook - comforting, low-maintenance and easy to prepare. It's food that calls for sharing with friends or family, gathered around a big table. And like most peasant cuisine, it is about getting the best out of a few ingredients and providing a belly-filling meal that not only doesn't cost the earth, but is delicious. Acquacotta offers more than 80 recipes across five chapters divided by themes: Dal Bosco - which means feed from the woods and includes foraged and hunted foods; Dal Mare - which means from the sea and includes typical seafood of the area including from the lagoon; Dal Orto - which means from the vegetable patch; Dal Fattoria - which means from the farm and include dishes inspired by the farm tradition in the area, which often includes legumes, grains, rabbit, poultry and eggs; Dolci - sweets, preserves and homemade liquors. 'Acquacotta is a serious and authoritative homage to the foodways of this little-known but lovely corner of Tuscany, its history, its influences, its landscape and its wonderful produce. Every dish in this book respects local knowledge and tradition and thanks to the author's brilliant photography, its essential nature is revealed for all to see and understand. I love it.' - Stephanie Alexander

Zoom rides pandemic to another quarter of explosive growth
Zoom's videoconferencing service is deepening its integral role in life during the pandemic as tens of thousands more businesses and other users pay for subscriptions to get more control over their virtual meetings.
Videoconferencing service has gained roughly 105,000 customers from the end of April
Michael Liedtke · The Associated Press · Posted: Sep 01, 2020 10:23 AM ET | Last Updated: September 1, 2020
The videoconferencing service Zoom has seen another quarter of expansive growth as a result of the pandemic, and could soon boast a market value of more than $100 billion US. (Dado Ruvic/Reuters)
The surge in paying customers enabled Zoom to hail another quarter of explosive growth. The company on Monday reported that its revenue for the May-July period more than quadrupled from the same time last year to $663.5 million (all figures US), boosted by a steadily rising number of users converting from the free to paid version of Zoom's service.
Zoom finished its fiscal second quarter with 370,200 customers with at least 10 employees, a gain of about 105,000 customers from the end of April. Just a year ago, Zoom only had 66,300 customers with at least 10 employees paying for subscriptions.
All that money pouring in helped Zoom earn nearly $186 million, or 66 cents per share, during its latest quarter, up from just $5.5 million at the same time last year.
"Organizations are shifting from addressing their immediate business continuity needs to supporting a future of working anywhere, learning anywhere and connecting anywhere on Zoom's video-first platform," Zoom CEO Eric Yuan said.
Shares soar in reaction to report
Investors have latched on to Zoom, too. After having already increased by fivefold so far this year, Zoom's stock price is poised to climb to even loftier heights. Wall Street analysts raised price targets for Zoom Video Communications on Tuesday, while shares soared 39 per cent to $452 in trading before the bell.
If the stock follows a similar arc during Tuesday's regular trading session, Zoom for the first time will boast a market value of more than $100 billion — exceeding the combined value of two storied automakers, General Motors and Ford, and two major airlines, American and United.
Back in early June, Zoom warned that it might suffer a wave of subscriber cancellations during the second half of the year if efforts to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus allowed more workers to return to offices.
But the ongoing outbreak has prompted many major employers to keep their offices closed through the rest of the year and possibility into next summer, a development that could propel Zoom to even greater heights.
If a crisis like COVID-19 hasn't pushed government to take action to improve broadband access, what can?
'Zoom fatigue' is setting in: What it is and how to prevent it
In a show of confidence, Zoom raised its revenue projection for its fiscal year ending in January to nearly $2.4 billion, up from roughly $1.8 billion that the San Jose, Calif., company predicted in early June. The forecast is now more than double the $910 million revenue that Zoom had anticipated as it began its fiscal year.
Zoom has been thriving largely because the worst pandemic in a century shut down large parts of the economy in March, with employers shuttering their offices and schools closing their campuses. That forced millions of workers and students to hop on to Zoom and other videoconferencing services to get their jobs and schoolwork done.
Zoom quickly emerged as the most accessible videoconferencing service, cementing itself as the pandemic's most popular place to connect remotely for everything from virtual cocktail parties to complex court hearings, in addition to the daily grind of work.
Lockdown makes us even more vulnerable when the machine stops: Don Pittis
The sudden demand seemed to catch Zoom off guard initially, leaving its service vulnerable to hackers and mischief makers who exploited security weaknesses to barge into or snoop on meetings.
Zoom says it believes it has closed most of the loopholes and eventually won back some school districts that temporarily abandoned the service because of security concerns.
More recently, Zoom suffered a major outage on the same day many schools were resuming online instruction after a summer break. Although the outage only lasted a few hours, the breakdown heightened awareness about society's increasing reliance on Zoom.

4 Top-Rated Coffee Shops in Detroit
by Karen Cherven | Nov 13, 2019 | Uncategorized | 0 comments
Detroit has seen a rise in the number of places coffee lovers can sit down to enjoy a latte. Instead of visiting the usual Starbucks you see in every city, here are 4 highly-rated local coffee shops (in no particular order) in Detroit you can experience.
1. Bikes & Coffee
1521 Putnam Street / Detroit MI, 48208

Want to grab coffee while shopping for cycling gear? Bikes and Coffee is the place for you. Located in Detroit's Woodbridge neighborhood, Bikes and Coffee is not only full service Bicycle repair shop, but it also has a full espresso bar with many snacks and specialty beverages to try.
With 4.5 star rating from 12 yelp reviewers, Bikes and Coffee has been the go-to coffee spot for many since it opened in 2018. Yelper Jeremy M. writes: "Great coffee, friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. The owner Benjamin is very knowledgeable and will have your beaten down bike up and running in no time. Even the shops cat is friendly!"

Bikes & Coffee is open everyday from 7am to 7pm.
2. Populace
1509 Broadway Street / Detroit, MI 48226

If you're looking for a serene, relaxing space to sip coffee while you take a break from the day, Populace is the perfect spot for you. A small coffee bar located inside the Siren Hotel in Downtown Detroit, Populace offers a selection of herbal teas, cappuccino's, latte's and pastries.
With a relaxing, charming ambiance and vintage decor, it is no surprise that Populace has maintained a 5 star rating from 12 reviewers on Yelp since it opened in 2018. Andrew V wrote on Yelp: "Awesome little spot in the lobby of the siren hotel. Very cool vibe to the place. Logan is one of the best baristas in the area, and the drinks I had were exceptional. Highly recommend."
Populace is open everyday from 7am to 4pm.
3. Astro Coffee
2124 Michigan Avenue / Detroit, MI 48216
Photo: astrodetroit.com
With 276 reviewers and a 4.5-star rating, Astro Coffee is definitely one of the top coffee shops in the city. Located outside of downtown in the industrial Cork Town area of Detroit, Astro Coffee is a high-energy coffee shop with a busy, welcoming atmosphere and an amazing collection of artwork and sketches all over its walls. Many reviewers say Astro has the best tasting coffee in Detroit, including Travis W. who writes: "This is without question the very best tasting coffee you will find in Detroit, and possibly throughout country. The owner came over to the states from Europe and has a fascinating life story. The artwork doesn't stop with their coffee, it sprawls across the walls and into the sound waves. It draws a quality crowd of people and embodies a presence that brings calm and clarity unlike most coffee shops. It's hard to put your finger on why the atmosphere is so tranquil. Could it be the view of the old train station, the kindness of the staff, the big wall of windows, or just everything together."
Photo: Allister D. / Yelp
Astro Coffee is open Tuesday-Friday from 730am to 6pm; Saturday from 830am to 6pm, and Sunday from 9am to 5pm. Closed Mondays.
4. Roasting Plant

Love Marches On
On March 25, 2018 March 31, 2018 By Oby BallingerIn Sermons
Edina Morningside Community Church
Today's scripture reading:
John 12:12-27 and 19:16-22 Sermon audio:
http://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/422813730-emcucc-love-marches-on-march-25-2018.mp3
And so, we find ourselves here, after the parade. Palm fronds litter the floor and the steps in front. No longer held up and waving, but following the facts of gravity and now come down to earth. The excitement has passed some by this point, like it did after that high theatrical moment of spectacle when people lined the highways and byways of Jerusalem with a pointed public purpose. It had been a moment of daring clarity and solidarity: the throngs of Jerusalem come together to cry out "Hosanna—save us!" and praise "the one who comes in the name of the Lord—the king of Israel." Here came Jesus through their midst, riding on a small donkey, in just the way Scripture foretold that Israel's messiah would come. For good measure and to hail Jesus' entry, they waved palm fronds—a symbol of victory throughout the ancient world. Here at last was the one to overthrow oppressive Rome, to restore righteous faith, and to set everything right. Anything seemed possible!
The spectacle that day was not so different from yesterday, come to think of it. Children from schools across the country—even the world!—poured into the streets with their families and other supportive adults. They waved signs like palm fronds, and chanted slogans demanding safety. They stepped to microphones everywhere to call for deliverance from gun violence in schools, from the disproportionate slayings of black and brown kids, and from callous legislative inaction. To see the news, watch clips online, and read stories afterwards is to be astonished at their clarity, their bravery and their hope. And afterward I imagine the green spaces and assembly points from Washington DC to Saint Paul to San Francisco now look a bit like this, littered with the aftermath of clamorous public assembly. Leftover reminders that anything seemed possible.
But now what? After the mountaintop, what comes next? When reality sets in, those who march in these parades go home and start to wonder. What good are palm leaves in the face of Rome's military might? What good are children marching in the face of corrupt politicians and all the money of those who buy their votes? I confess to a cynicism and fear in the pit of my stomach, because massive rallies and witty signs are only part of how change comes. There must be harder work that continues for months and years out of the spotlight: building coalitions around these moral values and changing access to money and votes (the only levers of power that politicians truly recognize or respect). In that context, do these public spectacles simply create the illusion of action? Will they lead to backlash and despair when change does not come after sensational spectacles? What if all the rousing speeches of yesterday (and all those that preceded them) cannot push "con" to "pro", Congress to progress? What if (in the ancient story of this Holy Week) the savior cannot save as the people who cry "Hosanna!" want him to? What if, in a few days, nothing seems possible?
With the benefit of hindsight, we know what happens after the Palm Sunday procession. The lethal powers work behind the scenes to shut Jesus down. Before we leave today, we hear the words and actions of those in power, crucifying the one who comes in the name of the Lord. The Romans (and the Jewish authorities allied with them) follow a well-trodden course, still used against truth-tellers to this very day. They assassinate his character first, manufacture charges against him, take him in the night, and trot him out for a public lynching. Marches, signs, chants and slogans did not, would not and could not save him. The people realized that they'd been beat, and when a PR campaign against Jesus distorted the meaning of truth itself, most of them turned their backs on him.
This is why I confess some cynicism. If even the Son of God could lose a PR battle and end up on a cross, how long will it be before we buy into the lie already peddled by some, that Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School teens and so many other youth are crisis actors in an eternal political game around gun control? What will this do to the brilliant teens and preteens of the school-shooting generation? I'm steeling myself already against the disappointment, which makes it harder to feel hope, or the possibility that this time could be different. Here, after the parade, I look ahead with dread.
Thank heaven that God's ways are not my ways, and God's thoughts are not my thoughts. Jesus understood that the human heart is fickle and prone to wander. He was prepared for that. I doubt that Jesus took for granted the powers aligning against him in Jerusalem. That's the reason that even though his soul was troubled, he would not pray for divine rescue from the worst that humans could do. "No," he says, "it is for this reason that I have come to this hour." Jesus alone may have known that the greater love of God can transcend even death itself. In fact, through the power of God's overturning, unimaginable love in him, even death becomes an opportunity for something unimaginably greater.
Listen to the promise of Jesus, as he foresees his own death around the corner. "Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit." By a wisdom older than time and truer than the grave, love that is poured out in selflessness to others is not lost, but magnified a thousand times over. Even though Golgotha and crucifixion takes place after the Palm Sunday marches, death is not the last word. Divine love will find a way—even through death—into abundant, joyful life once more. When Love is buried in the tomb, it does not remain inert and hidden there forever. No, the seed of love sprouts out of the tomb and grows to new life. It bears much fruit—the fruit of centuries of believers who walk in his loving ways, the fruit of Catherine of Sienna, Mother Theresa, Dorothy Day, Martin Luther and Martin Luther King, Jr. These is not enough time in all the world to tell of the lives which Love has born, fruits that would not be possible had not Jesus remained faithful despite it all, had not his example inspired others like us to give our lives for the cause of love. It is that love and that faith into which Piper is baptized this day. It is the Christian conviction that death is no final end, and Divine Love marches on through it all.
Scripture sometimes speaks of baptism as its own form of death and new life. Each of us who is baptized has been drowned to the old ways of saving ourselves, and has been raised to the promise of heaven, to Love's eternal way. We are part of the fruit that grows from that planted grain so long ago. Therefore, in this Holy Week ahead, give of yourself too. Give the time it takes to keep watch with Jesus in Thursday's worship and Friday's vigil, because he comes alongside those who are suffer the deadly betrayals of life. Let us die to the lesser commitments of our schedules this week at least, persevering as Jesus demonstrates the love that passes all human understanding. Because "unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit." And when the No Greater Love of Jesus Christ arises on Easter morning, however bruised, battered or beaten it has been, Love marches on. This week, come and see! Amen.

Sep 28 1781 to Oct 19 1781
Battle of Yorktown
By October 14, the trenches were within 150 yards (140 m) of redoubts #9 and #10.
Washington ordered that all guns within range begin blasting the redoubts in order to weaken them for the coming assault. Redoubt 10 was near the river and held only 70 men, while redoubt 9 was a quarter of a mile inland, and was held by 120 British and Germans. Both redoubts were heavily fortified with rows of abatis surrounding them along with muddy ditches which surrounded the redoubts at a distance of about 25 yards. Washington devised a plan in which the French would launch a diversionary attack on the Fusiliers redoubt, and then a half an hour later, the French would assault redoubt 9 and the Americans redoubt 10. Redoubt 9 would be assaulted by 400 French Regular soldiers under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Count William Deux-Ponts and redoubt 10 would be assaulted by 400 troops under the command of Alexander Hamilton. There was briefly a dispute as to who should lead the attack on redoubt #10, Lafayette named his aide, the Chevalier de Gimat, to lead the attack, but Hamilton protested, saying that he was the senior officer. Washington concurred with Hamilton and gave him command of the attack.
At 6:30 pm, gunfire announced the diversionary attack on the Fusiliers redoubt. At other places in the line, movements were made as if preparing for an assault on Yorktown itself, which caused the British to panic. With bayonets fixed, the Americans marched towards redoubt #10. Hamilton sent John Laurens around to the rear of the redoubt to prevent the British from escaping. The Americans reached the redoubt and began chopping through the British wooden defenses with their axes. A British sentry called a challenge, and then fired at the Americans. The Americans responded by charging with their bayonets towards the redoubt. They hacked through the abatis, crossed a ditch and climbed the parapet into the redoubt. The Americans forced their way into the redoubt falling into giant shell holes from the bombardment of the redoubts. The British fire was heavy, but the Americans overwhelmed them. Someone in the front shouted "Rush on boys! The fort's ours!" The British threw hand grenades at the Americans with little effect. Men in the trench stood on the shoulders of their comrades to climb into the redoubt. The bayonet fight cleared the British out of the redoubt and almost the entire garrison was captured, including the commander of the redoubt, Major Campbell. In the assault, the Americans lost 9 dead and 25 wounded.
The French assault began at the same time, but they were halted by the abatis which was undamaged by the artillery fire. The French began to hack at the abatis and a Hessian sentry came out and asked who was there. When there was no response, the sentry opened fire as did other Hessians on the parapet. the French soldiers fired back, and then charged the redoubt. The Germans charged the Frenchmen climbing over the walls but the French fired a volley, driving them back. The Germans then took a defensive position behind some barrels, but when the French prepared a bayonet charge, the Hessians threw down their arms and surrendered.
With the capture of redoubts 9 and 10, Washington was able to have his artillery shell the town from three directions and the allies moved some of their artillery into the redoubts. On the October 15, Cornwallis turned all of his guns onto the nearest allied position. He then ordered a storming party of 350 British troops under the command of Colonel Robert Abercromby to attack the allied lines in order to spike the American and French cannons. The allies were sleeping and unprepared. As the British charged, Abercromby shouted "Push on my brave boys, and skin the bastards!" The British party spiked several cannons in the parallel and then spiked the guns on an unfinished redoubt. However, a French party came and drove them out of the allied lines and back to Yorktown. The British had been able to spike six guns, but by the morning they were all repaired. The bombardment resumed, with the American and French troops engaged in friendly competition to see who could do the most damage to the enemy defenses.
On the morning of October 16, more allied guns were in line and the fire intensified. In desperation, Cornwallis attempted to evacuate his troops across the York River to Gloucester Point. At Gloucester point the troops could break through the allied lines and escape into Virginia and then march to New York. One wave of boats made it across, but when they returned to take more soldiers across, a squall hit, making the evacuation impossible.

On September 28, the combined Continental and French forces left Williamsburg at around 5:00 A.M. They moved to within a mile of Cornwallis' Yorktown defenses by dark. The siege of Yorktown had officially began. On the British right, Lt. Col. Robert Abercromby withdrew as the French Wing advanced there, while Tarleton withdrew as the American Wing moved to the southeast of Yorktown.
Washington had the American-French army organized into 3 divisions for the siege:
1. Rochembeau commanded the 7,800-man French contingent. They occupied the left wing, or northwestern sector, of the siege line. It consisted of 3 infantry brigades, a heavy cavalry corps, and a large artillery corps.
2. The American troops formed the base of the right, or southern sector, with two wings of 8,845 troops. These were divided into 3 divisions. They were commanded by Brig. Gen. Benjamin Lincoln, and Maj. Gens. Marquis de Lafayette and Baron von Stueben. Col. Henry Knox was in command of the artillery, engineers, sappers and miners. Col. Stephen Moylan was in command of the cavalry.
3. The third division of 3,200 Virginia militiamen were commanded by Brig. Gens. George Weedon, Edward Stevens, and Robert Lawson. They occupied the southeastern sector, or far right wing of the siege line.
The siege line was initially established 2 miles below Yorktown in a giant arc, with the French on the west/right and the Americans on the south/center and east/right. Additionally, Washington dispatched 4 regiments, commanded by Compte Claude G. de Choisy to the northern side of the York River to lay siege to the British troops operating on Gloucester Point. There, Weedon's 1,500 Virginia militiamen, aided by 1,400 French troops under Duke de Lauzun, joined forces to bottle up the British.
On September 29, Washington inspected the British position while the army continued to surround Yorktown. Artillery and siege equipment and stores were also brought to the front. The Americans in the eastern sector began reconnoitering the area and a minor skirmish broke out at Wormeley Creek. The British fell back to their trenches and the Americans broke contact.
On September 30, Cornwallis received a message from Lt. Gen. Henry Clinton promising some reinforcements and the return of the British fleet to assist him. These reinforcements would be leaving New York on October 5. Convinced that he could hold out until then, Cornwallis abandoned 3 outposts on the outer line that had covered the southwest approach to Yorktown. He would concentrate his troops within the inner fortifications, maximizing the defenses with his limited forces. Washington then learned of this information shortly after it happened and had his men occupy the abandoned works.
Across the York River at Gloucester, Brig. Gen. George Weedon and his 1,500 Virginia militia had been opposing the British garrison commanded by Lt. Col. Thomas Dundas. A heavy skirmish occurred west of the Fusilier's Redoubt between the British and French forces.
On October 1, de Choisy assumed allied command of these operations while 800 marines were detached to Gloucester as well.
On October 2, Tarleton's Legion arrived to support Dundas, bringing the British garrison's strength to nearly 1,000 men.
On October 3, Dundas was returning to camp after leading a foraging expedition when de Choisy pushed forward. Cavalry from Lauzon's Legion formed an advance for de Choisy, while Tarleton's cavarly formed a rear screen for the British. Tarleton was nearly captured when he was pinned under his horse, but some of his men rode in and saved him. He reassembled his men, but some American militia, commanded by John Mercer, held the allied line and Tarleton withdrew his men back into their defensive lines. He would not see any more action on the American continent. For the remainder of the campaign, de Choisy kept the British garrison at Gloucester pinned.
On October 6, the allied force commanded by Washington and de Rochambeau was ready to begin formal siege operations. While Comte de Saint-Simon's troops began a diversion on the left toward the Fusiliers Redoubt on the north side of Yorktown in the evening, engineers staked out the main operations. This diversion helped focus attention on that distant flank and away from the digging of the first parallel.
After dark, work parties began building trenches and redoubts. While Saint-Simon was shelled during the evening,
On October 9, after the completions of the first parallel, the bombardment of Yorktown began with Saint-Simon firing the first shots at 3:00 P.M. This fire also managed to drive off many of the British ships anchored off Yorktown.
On October 10, 46 guns were in place and inflicted so much damage that Cornwallis was only able to return about 6 rounds an hour. A flag of truce appeared at noon. That evening, 3 or 4 ships were destroyed by the allied fire.
On October 11, a second siege line was begun. This line was about 750 yards long and was within musket and easy artillery range of the British main line. At dusk, digging was begun in preparation for an assault on Redoubts No. 9 and No. 10 on the southeast side of Yorktown, which was necessary to complete the second tighter parallel.
On October 12, at dawn, Cornwallis spotted the second siege line. He sent some of his force to engage the workers on the line. The British managed to drive the workers to the ground and temporarily brought the work to a halt.
On October 14, Lafayette was given responsibility for the capture of Redoubt No. 10 and he selected Jean-Joseph de Gimat to lead the assault, but Brig. Gen. Alexander Hamilton protested. Washington ruled in Hamilton's favor and Hamilton was to lead 400 men against Redoubt No. 10. Col. William Deux-Ponts led the assault on Redoubt No. 9 with 400 French grenadiers and chasseurs.
Saint-Simon and de Choisy began diversionary attacks on the Fuselier Redoubt and Gloucester at 6:30 P.M. Hamilton and Deux-Ponts moved forward at 8:00 P.M. After taking heavy losses, Deux-Ponts secured Redoubt No. 9 as the British and Hessian defenders surrendered. Meanwhile, Hamilton had quickly overrun Redoubt No. 10 with few casualties in only 10 minutes. The allies immediately consolidated their positions in anticipation of a British counterattack. However, Cornwallis did not counterattack, but massed all his artillery against the newly captured position. That night, the Allies began incorporating the two forts into the right wing of the second parallel. The batteries could now fire and hit any point within Yorktown.
On October 16, at about 4:00 A.M., Lt. Col. Robert Abercromby led 350 British troops on a sortie to spike allied guns now in position in the center of the second parallel. He was able to spike 4 guns after pretending to be an American detachment. Moving to another position along the parallel, the British were this time driven back to their lines by a French covering party. However, they had managed to spike 2 more guns, but the allies were able to get all the spiked guns back into action within 6 hours.
In the evening, Cornwallis ordered an evacuation of his troops to Gloucester Point. He decided to attempt a breakthrough and a march northward to New York. Bad weather, a lack of adequate transports, and being bombarded by the American-French force forced him to abort the effort. Cornwallis now knew that he was out of options.
On October 17, the Allies brought more than 100 guns into action for their heaviest bombardment yet. Cornwallis could no longer hold out for reinforcements from Clinton. Around 10:00 A.M., a parley was called for by the British. Washington gave Cornwallis 2 hours to submit his proposals, which were received by 4:30 P.M. that afternoon.
On October 18, during the morning, terms of surrender were negotiated with Dundas and Maj. Alexander Ross represented Cornwallis and Lt. Col. John Laurens and Noailles represented the allies.
On October 19 , the surrender document was delivered to Cornwallis. He was to sign and return it by 11:00 A.M. and the garrison was to march out at 2:00 P.M. to surrender. Sometime before noon, the document returned with Cornwallis' signature as well as Capt. Thomas Symonds, the highest ranking British naval officer present. Washington and Rochambeau as well as de Barras signed for the allies.
The terms of the surrender were honorable. The British were to march out with colors cased and drums playing a British or German march. The principal officers could return to Europe or go to a British-occupied American port city on parole. Officers were allowed to retain their side arms and all personnel kept their personal effects. Infantry at Gloucester could ground their arms there, while the cavalry including Simcoe and Tarleton were to proceed to the surrender field outside Yorktown. All troops would be marched to camps in Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania.
At 12:00 P.M., two detachments of 100 men each, one American and one French, occupied 2 British redoubts to the southeast of Yorktown, while the rest of the victorious army formed along both sides of the Hampton Road where the British Army would march to the surrender field, which was located about 1.5 miles south of Yorktown.
At 2:00 P.M., the British and Hessian defenders of Yorktown officially surrendered. The defeated troops marched down the road, supposedly to the tune of "The World Turned Upside." About 2,000 of the surrendered troops were sick or wounded and unable to march. However, 7,157 soldiers, 840 sailors, and 80 camp followers walked out.
The formal surrender ceremony has become a legend unto itself. Cornwallis was not present, but had remained at Yorktown claiming illness. He was represented by his second-in-command, Brig. Gen. Charles O'Hara. He first attempted to surrender to de Rochambeau, but he refused and pointed him to Washington. Washington's only reaction was to ask him to surrender to his own second-in-command, Lincoln. The British and German troops grounded their arms with some of the British soldiers obviously drunk. Washington did not witness the surrender proceedings, but remained at his post along the road a few hundred yards away. The British soldiers and sailors were sentenced as prisoners of war and sent to prison camps in Virginia and Pennsylvania.
The victory cemented Washington's legend as the father of the country in America, while the defeat sorely damaged Cornwallis more so than Clinton.
On October 27, Clinton had finally arrived at the Chesapeake Bay but discovered that the battle was over. It is improbable that Adm. William Graves would have been able to fight through the French fleet to even land Clinton's 7,000 strong relief force. Clinton returned to New York City and remained there until he was recalled to England in 1782.
The Battle of Yorktown was the last major engagement of the war.

Losing his grip on the Carolinas, Cornwallis marched his army into Virginia and seized Yorktown and Gloucester, towns on each side of the York River.
With the arrival of the French fleet of Admiral De Grasse, General Washington was able to march south from New York with the joint American and French army to attack Cornwallis.
The Americans and French marched out of Williamsburg and arrived before Yorktown on 28th September 1781, forming a semi-circle around the entrenchments and putting the British under siege. Cornwallis expecting Major General Clinton to sail from New York with a relieving force had decided to remain in Yorktown rather than march south to the Carolinas or attempt to reach New York. His first move was the inexplicable one of abandoning a line of four redoubts that dominated the British positions. The Americans immediately occupied the empty redoubts.
The Americans began formal siege operations on the eastern side of Yorktown on 30th September and on 9th October were sufficiently close to began an artillery bombardment.
On 14th October the Americans and French stormed two redoubts in front of their trenches and the position of the British in Yorktown became untenable.
The British carried out a sortie on the 16th in which several guns in the two redoubts were spiked. On the same day Cornwallis attempted to pass the Guards, the 23rd and the Light Infantry across the York River to Gloucester but was thwarted by a storm.
With no sign of Clinton's relief and with inadequate supplies of artillery ammunition and food, on 19th October 1781 Cornwallis' army marched out of Yorktown and surrendered.

Big Country News reported recently that a six-month-old boxer was reunited with his families after the dog escaped during a wreck along I-20 in Sweetwater, Texas on Friday, July 13. Apollo, the dog, was traveling to Dallas with his family when they were involved in an auto accident near exit 259 in Sweetwater. The family, friends, and good Samaritans searched for hours for the missing dog in both daytime and nighttime. The dog was eventually discovered in a cotton field and was completely unharmed. The family has expressed their gratitude for the community's help in locating their lost dog via Facebook. The dog held significant sentimental value to the owner as it was a gift from his parents when his grandfather had died. There are no details about the accident, or what the cause of the crash was. Luckily, no one was reported to have been injured in the accident.
While there are no details given about the wreck, accidents along interstate roads are commonplace. The parties involved in the accident may not have been expecting it to happen that day. While we all understand that there is a chance of a wreck when we drive, we feel like we are in control of our safety. Technology is helping to curb how severe an injury can be in the aftermath of an auto accident, but still, people get hurt. The sad truth of the matter is that no matter how hard you try, you can't account for the negligent behavior of other drivers. For this reason, we must be diligent in making sure that the passengers of your vehicle are buckled up, and drivers are paying attention to the road. The reality is that an auto accident can happen anywhere anytime and quite possibly at no fault of your own.
Thankfully in the story, no one was actually hurt. Not even the dog. Many times, however, that is not the case, and people are severely injured due to auto accidents.

The near-natural playground is structured into sand land, sun land, forest land and hedge land. The sand land is a modelled play landscape made of sand and boulders.
The largest surface of the playground with lots of light is the sun land. Trees shade the surface of the forest land with a wooden village. The hedge land guides the children towards the sand land, the sun land and the forest land.

The UK is the most obese country in western Europe, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
Its annual Health at a Glance report, published on Friday, shows that 26.9% of the UK population had a body mass index of 30 and above, the official definition of obesity, in 2015..
The UK had the fifth highest rate of obesity in Europe in 2015. … In 2016 according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development nearly 27% of adults in the United Kingdom were obese, the highest proportion in Western Europe and a 92% increase since 1996.

Our vision is to live out Isaiah 1:17. Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause.
We offer tangible opportunities to do good as we come alongside vulnerable children and isolated parents. Our volunteers offer practical help by hosting children during times of parental crisis and surround families with ongoing relational support through our network of care.
God calls us to defend, visit and care for widows and orphans. We believe Christians are called to walk with the hurting, the rejected and those who are in distress. We are committed to pleading the widow's cause and bringing justice to the fatherless.
Social isolation is one of the greatest risk factors for child abuse and neglect. But many assistance programs fail to provide what struggling parents need most: RELATIONSHIPS.
We've worked with vulnerable families for over 26 years and have placed over 200 children in safe homes each year during times of family crisis.

Manchester City Set To Trigger £20m Release Clause Of German
Posted in Manchester City By By Far The Greatest TeamPosted on October 6, 2014 July 17, 2017
Not all players are prolific in several areas of the playing field. Some have mastered two areas of the field but few could match the quality and ability which Marco Reus of Borussia Dortmund could bring into play on the football pitch.
He can play as a central midfielder behind the striker because of his ability to use both feets effectively on the ball. He can also play on the left wing of the pitch as well as the right wing. His quality and prolificacy as made him the toast of the big clubs in the top leagues of the globe.
The wranglings concerning his contract renewal at Borussia Dortmund as gotten to a crescendo following his refusal to renew his contract. This as put the top clubs on alert. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester City to name a few have all expressed interest in the player. His reported £20m release clause which comes into effect next summer seems not to be helping matters.
Manchester City in its bid to cement its status as an elite playing football club has been linked with him. Taking a peek into their English Premier League conquering team of the 2013/2014 season will reveal the efficacy and influence of Yaya Toure the current African footballer of the year. But, in the present 2014/2015 season, he looks every inch a shadow of his former self which he has received a lot of stick for in the games which he has featured for Manchester City so far. This as affected the effectiveness and deadliness of the team.
If they could acquire the services of Marco Reus, then definitely they would be acquiring a star which will arouse the envy of the opposition. His signature will be an eye-catching event which will generate a lot of attention. This will bring about an increase in their firepower which would signal an intention of purpose. It will also reduce the burden on Yaya Toure and now seemingly injury prone Aguero.
Acquiring his services will also cement the club's desire to be ranked among the elite clubs in world football. It gives Manuel Pellegrini, a lot of options regarding the style of play which stems from the ability of Reus to play in different positions on the field. It also gives them a player who is hungry and desirous for success and who can do whatever it requires to achieve his desire.
His signature also means that they will be effectively acquiring the services of a match changer who can come up with the goods when required. At 25, they are also acquiring a young man who still has the ability to develop as a footballer, in effect his good days are still ahead.
The club will be purchasing the services of a young man who Bloomberg ranked as the fourth best footballer in Europe in 2013. Capturing him might be a tug of war between the top clubs of Europe, but if Manchester City can purchase him, it is worth it.
This is a player who have the ability to dictate the trends of a game. He has the energy, strength, vision, intelligence and desire to change a game in an instant. These and many more are what he will bring to the club if they could convince him to cross over to the blue side of the Manchester based clubs seeking his services. Definitely, he is a good buy.

We all know sitting out in the sun and getting as brown as a baked potato isn't good for you. But what about those tanning creams? Do they actually work and should you use them?
To find out, CityNews took a guinea pig in the form of one of our interns and spread all kinds of the lotions at strategic places where a tan would look best. Among the products tested: Clairins Delicious Self Tanning Cream, the most expensive at $40, Biotherm's $30 Sun Tan, a $15 self-tanning lotion and Life brand's ultra-cheap $11 Bronze Up.
The results: the most expensive product appeared to do the best job at least for the subject in this case.
The others were either streaky or too close to compare.
That's one of the drawbacks of the creams, no matter what kind you use. But it's not the only one. Don't get the idea most of them can properly protect you from the harmful rays of the blazing sun.
There are self-tanners that come with suntan lotion. Just make sure it's an S.P.F. 30 or higher. Otherwise, you may have to apply a sun block separately, ironically so a real tan never gets in the way of your fake one.

Watson living his American dream
Menelik Watson admits he can scarcely believe that his journey has taken him from Longsight in Manchester to one of the NFL's most storied franchises.
The 25-year-old Oakland Raiders tackle grew up in impoverished conditions in one of Manchester's tougher neighbourhoods before branching out to the States in a bid to forge a professional basketball career.
And although one American dream soon faded away, he quickly discovered he was a useful offensive lineman in gridiron, a game he took up properly just over three seasons ago.
Watson is far and away the most prominent Briton in the NFL, which meant there was an added interest in his Raiders' clash with Miami on Sunday, which ended in a convincing 38-14 Dolphins victory.
"It's something I dreamt of when I was a kid," Watson said of flying the British flag in America's most popular sport.
"I always dreamt of being in America, I always thought it would be the NBA but it's American football. So every once in a while when I get a day off, I think about it and I'm like, wow.
"I think I was kind of thinking about it (on Sunday) and I was like, yeah, you know, I am one of the only Englishmen, or one of the few Brits, in the NFL.
"It's not every day I think about it, but sometimes I'll have a moment and I'll go, wow, pretty crazy.
"But I'm not where I need to be. I want to be better. I want to be the best in this league. So that's why I can never really stop and think about it. I just think about ways that I'm going to get better and better."
Watson, whose Manc twang is still very much evident, enjoyed plenty of familiar home comforts on his return to these shores as he watched his beloved Manchester City beat Hull on Saturday's Match of the Day with his family.
His team-mates saw him as something of a tour guide in the week building up to the game too and Watson believes the rest of the Raiders were blown away by the British fans' appetite for the game.
All three International Series games at Wembley are sold out this season, and Watson added: "It is important, they see how much the game has grown.
"A lot of them were thrown back by the stadium and the fans in there and stuff like that.
"So, I think it was just a great experience. Obviously, we care about the result, but I think guys will remember this trip for a long time."


Sustainable building practices and environmentally sound designs have become an increasingly important part of landscape design. Norlite Expanded Shale offers innovative, cost-effective, long-term solutions to modern horticulture and landscape design challenges.
Norlite, a lightweight, porous ceramic material produced by expanding and vitrifying select shale in a rotary kiln, is an ideal planting medium for a rooftop garden, designing a soil for an athletic field or improving an existing soil to sustain a plant design.
Combining Norlite with varying amounts of organic matter creates a lightweight planting media for intensive and/or extensive rooftop gardens. Click here for more.
With Norlite, soils can be created or altered to meet design specifications or address precise project requirements. Designer soils are often required for rooftop gardens, raised planters, containers and urban tree plantings.
Incorporating Norlite into heavy clay soil can provide permanent aeration and drainage within the root zone. Norlite can improve the properties and qualities of existing soils to meet the requirements of landscape design.
NORLITE is combined with peat, sand and other amendments to form root zone soil mixes for golf courses, athletic fields and related turf surfaces. It is also applied as topdressing over established turf.
Norlite amended soil reduces surface runoff by permitting storm water to percolate and infiltrate the soil surface. Rain gardens, vegetated filter strips and turf pavers are examples of storm water management tools that benefit from Norlite.
Adding Norlite to the infield mix prevents the skinned surface from becoming hard and compacted. It also improves drainage, allowing the infield to dry out quickly after inclement weather, reducing down time.
At nearly half the weight of common fills, Norlite provides an ideal lightweight fill for backfilling retaining walls, reducing loads over structures or insulating thermally sensitive elements.

Brighton's post punk band Deaf Surf enthralls with the grunge sound of their (un)comfortable 'Sofa'
a debut single that is full of the power of their melodies and passionate lyrics, followed by the official video released on their YouTube channel
After a few quiet and strange months, Deaf Surf share their official video for 'Sofa'.
Watch it now on the Deaf Surf YouTube channel.
Born in March 2019 from the ashes of previous bands from the Brighton music scene, Deaf Surf debuts with a raucous single, the result of the union of the musical influences its members share and the desire to do something different.
Addressing topics such as gender equality, mental health and social media, Chloe (bass), Dave (drums), Manon (vocals and lyrics) and Louis (guitars) show off a guitar-driven punk rock number in typical Brighton style: a raw and genuine song, enriched by an exciting, high-octane blend based on grunge.
With a good dose of punk anger at its roots, 'Sofa' is a jagged gathering of anguish and self-loathing that comes from FOMO, a turbulent musical reflection that refers vividly to the bitterness of our lives, virtually lived indirectly.
Another, another, another adventure from my sofa
Showing off a tight and overwhelming crescendo, the debut single of Dead Surf sounds like a launching pad from which they catapult all the incisiveness of their musical message in our direction, bringing us a debut release not to be missed. They're showing, and right from the start, that they are a band to keep an eye on during this year!
'Sofa' was recorded and produced by Boe Weaver in January of this year, at the Humbug Studio on the Isle of Wight (UK); published on February 28 through Slingshot Records, the single is available on all streaming services.

Carried on a sling made from a cot, a pregnant tribal woman today died after giving birth to a stillborn child in Odisha's Rayagada district, raising questions on the effective implementation of Mukhya Mantri Sadak Yojana (MMSY).
According to reports, the expectant mother from Ghagudimala village under Kalyansinghpur block in the district was being ferried to Kalyansinghpur Community Health Centre (CHC) through narrow kaccha roads for institutional delivery.
After travelling for over 2 km, the ambulance finally arrived at the service of the distressed. By then, Dhaneya Hanshabansha (32) had already delivered a stillborn child.
"We are carrying the woman on a cot as the road condition is bad. We had called up the ambulance but it won't be able to reach the village due to inaccessibility. It will pick up the patient mid-way," Ghagudimul ASHA worker Tejibansa Bisalya who accompanied the pregnant woman said.
"The patient had already given birth to a stillborn child. She was anaemic for which she had received medications earlier. Now, we will refer the case as she has low hemoglobin level," a hospital staff said.
The seven-month pregnant woman, however, died reportedly due to blood loss resulting after hemorrhage while being shifted to the District Headquarters Hospital (DHH) in a critical condition.
The incident once again points fingers at the implementation of Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) as 102 and 108 ambulance service which failed to turn up to shift the pregnant woman to the hospital in time.
Besides, the Mukhya Mantri Sadak Yojana (MMSY), an ambitious scheme of the Naveen Patnaik led government to upgrade rural road infrastructure, has ostensibly failed to reach the backward regions of the state which are not covered under Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY).
The Biju Janata Dal (BJD), in its election manifesto in the last election, had announced the scheme under Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF).
