This is so yummy, so filling, and so healthy, with just a bit of a kick to it. For all those Weight Watcher's out there, each serving is 7 points and this recipe is for 4 fantabulous servings.
Yum! I'd have to leave out the tomatoes and cilantro (not a fan), but otherwise it looks amazing and healthy!

The Powwow Is a Modern Invention
Tags: Keith Goetzman, arts, American Indians, Ojibwe, culture, powwows, treaty rights, Indian sovereignty, American history, Ojibwe in Minnesota,
Many American Indian tribes across the nation hold powwows that are basically megaconcerts, with tickets sold to the nontribal general public. Visitors often come away from these events thinking that they've gotten an authentic glimpse into Indian traditions and spirituality, a perception fueled by some tribes' marketing. "It is truly an honor to attend a powwow," states the web page of the Northern Colorado Intertribal Pow-wow Association Inc.—an honor, incidentally, that's available to anyone with ticket money.
But what exactly is a powwow, and what are its ties to Indian tradition? Ojibwe historian Anton Treuer sets the record straight in the book Ojibwe in Minnesota, which was recently published by the Minnesota Historical Society Press:
Powwow itself is new. It did not exist seventy years ago. It is a pan-Indian combination of Omaha grass dance ceremonies, Dakota war dances, Ojibwe dreams about the jingle dress, and rodeo customs, where dancers who used to parade into army forts in tribal war regalia now parade into the powwow arena in dance regalia for grand entry. There are many types of powwows. But [many powwows] involve singers and dancers competing for money. Participants' abilities to sing and dance are highly valued, supplanting older cultural ideals of community cohesion, inclusiveness, and respectful generosity. The modern powwow is a welcome, healthy gathering of people from many communities. It is a joyous social event and source of community pride. But it is not a substitute for traditional Ojibwe religion or ways of life.
Treuer points out that powwows have become big business. Leech Lake Reservation in Minnesota spends more than $100,000 for prize money on its Labor Day powwow alone, not to mention the many smaller powwows it presents:
The powwow budget for Leech Lake completely eclipses tribal expenditures on traditional culture and Ojibwe language revitalization. Tribes and tribal people are agents of their own cultural change.
So remember that if you attend a large commercial powwow, you are more likely watching a sort of American Indian Idol than a sacred and ancient ceremony. It may be fun, and entertaining, and spectacular, but it's probably no more traditional than the fry bread they're selling at the food stands.
Because Minnesota has been at the epicenter of many Indian sovereignty, treaty rights, and social justice issues, Treuer's book is essential reading for anyone interested in Indian history. From the fur trade and Ojibwe-Dakota relations right up through ugly public skirmishes over spearfishing and casinos, Ojibwe in Minnesota is a clear, candid, and authoritative overview of a people whose epic history is still unfolding.

Native American music is so wonderful! Take a look at: I recently stumbled across Xavier Hawk, who is really cool. I haven't seen or heard anything quite so unique. His music is very tribal world techno native and very danceable. He's also giving away all of it. He's done work for National Geographic and movies, and he's working on a project to assemble a team of superheroes, that will save the world from a blimp. whats crazy is that it just might work... Definitely check it out. click to get http://xavierhawk.net

I grew up in Nez Perce country. I lived in Joseph Oregon and I worked the rodeos and carnivals that came through town (and in Pendleton) when I was 9 on up. The Nez Perce tribe had their villages set up but I considered them tourist traps and felt sorry for the situation that reduced the Indian Nations to what I thought was a side show to the cowboys. Here in Seattle, where I live, the tribes have been becoming more and more themselves, honoring their heritage. Whale hunts are controversial, but are legally theirs to do. A many-nation canoe journey is taking place right now (July-August) from around the central Washington coast, up and around into the Puget Sound and down to Seattle. Excellent Indian energies are emerging here. And yet I have not been. I am a crowd shunner and avoid all large gatherings. But you bring up a good point. I may just get off my behind and go. Thanks.

Well of course the pow wow is a modern invention, an opportunity for 'a gathering' after the Native American Holocaust, for tribes to pray (dancing is a form of prayer) together in solidarity. I'm curious, have you ever been to a pow wow? I go every year and I agree that they are entertaining, (I look forward to buying a handmade craft, enjoying an Indian taco, and that feeling of exaltation when i start to hear the drumming in my heart and in my head) however before the event begins there is an opening ceremony of prayer and the day closes in ceremony. All of the dances are ceremonial too. To compare pow wow to American idol is like comparing Wal-mart to my great-aunt who makes her clothes..hehe.. big difference. I won't speak for all pow wow dancers but some of them are actually in a trance when they dance.. interview a couple and find out the truth. Mitakuye Oyasin (All my relations) :)
All culture is in flux, always. It may move slowly, as in ancient Egypt, or it may move quickly as in the modern United Sates. The important thing is to consider what values we wish to maintain and grow and which values we wish to diminish or abandon. Dancing regalia is worse than war regalia? That is a conversation that the tribes must have. I don't know, I am not American Indian, and I like both. Change is not bad, it is an opportunity to grow a healthier civilization. Once a clear vision emerges and their elders articulate it to the young, cohesion will return. And when that happens, the American Indian's natural sense of nature and spirituality will uplift all of America's values. Good luck and good speed.

MPC sees demand grow for non-GMO, natural ingredients in snacks, confectionery & beverages
By Jenny Eagle contact

Malt Products Corporation (MPC), which manufactures malted barley extract and sweeteners, has seen increasing demand for non-GMO and natural, nutritious ingredients.
In response to this, the company has invested over $15m ($16.96m) in a drying plant, with a vacuum belt dryer designed and built by drying technology expert Bucher Unipektin.
Cereals industry
MPC has grown from a regional supplier of malts to an international company offering a full line of natural sweeteners for the bakery, snack foods, cereals, confectionary and beverage industries.
The dryer is the culmination of a five-year, $50m ($56,56m) investment, beginning in 2015 with the expansion of its brew house, Meura mash-filter, expanded laboratory, R&D and customer application capabilities.
"The drying plant will continue our commitment to supply natural sweeteners, which are minimally processed and environmentally sustainable," said Amy Targan, president, MPC.
MPC chose the vacuum belt dryer over a spray dryer because of its ability to produce free-flowing particulates of viscous sugar syrups, as well as retain flavor, aroma and color.
The 58-foot-long machine has completed installation and validation, and is installed at the company's Dayton, Ohio, US, manufacturing facility.
Vacuum belt dryers operate by reducing the pressure in the chamber and moisture is evaporated from the product at lower temperatures. This eliminates oxidation and prevents damage to the syrup.
Important to the drying of malted barley extract, vacuum belt drying uses a gentler process that protects unique-to-product characteristics not found in other sweeteners, including antioxidants, essential amino acids, minerals and vitamins.
Vacuum belt drying also helps avoid burnt notes or other off-flavors and aromas typical with spray drying, and better controls the maillard reaction for a more consistent final product color.
Vacuum belt drying produces a powder that is highly soluble in cold liquids, making it preferable for malt beverages.
The enhanced technology will allow MPC to manufacture products such as honey, agave and molasses that are difficult or impossible to dry on a spray dryer without additives.
Targan noted there has been a growing and renewed interest in MPC's malted barley extract because of its unique flavor profile and recognition of its health-related benefits in the field of probiotics, plant-derived proteins, sports recovery and antioxidants.
MPC's malted barley extract is a multi-functional ingredient that acts as a natural humectant (moisture absorber), and enhances browning, fermentation, body and viscosity.
Founded in 1957 and headquartered in Saddle Brook, New Jersey, MPC also supplies healthy, natural sweeteners including molasses, oat extract, rice syrup, tapioca syrup, agave and honey.

French revolution or peasants' revolt? Petitioners and rebels from the Blanketeers to the Chartists

Coming from Manchester in 1817, the march of the 'Blanketeers' has generally been taken to be something to do with the industrial revolution: at least an eruption of distress, at most an attempted revolution. This article returns to the sources to show how both the march and the attempted risings that followed were related to a coherent national strategy of petitioning and remonstration for parliamentary reform that began with the London Hampden Club and ended with the Pentridge rebels. Gradualism had not yet been invented. Petitioning, remonstration, and rebellion were all constitutionalist strategies, related to episodes from the English past such as the 'peasants' revolt' of 1381 and the 'Glorious Revolution' of 1688. The appeal was as much to the throne as to parliament. Much about the agitation of 1816–17 prefigures the Chartist experience: the constitutional forms of petitioning and remonstrating, the shift of the initiative from London to the provinces, the dilemma over 'ulterior measures', and the appeal over the head of parliament to the crown. The paper identifies a mixed tradition of popular monarchism and 'Robin Hood republicanism' running from the early modern period and the Jacobites to the Chartists and beyond.

There has been a lot of chatter lately about the banning of Annabel Lyon's latest novel The Golden Mean from the bookstores aboard the BC Ferries on account of its sporting a young Alexander the Great in the buff. He is modestly face down and on horseback, so there's nothing showing but a wee bum, but BC Ferries spokesperson Deborah Marshall still claims "parents of young people might not think it's appropriate for young children to view."
I chatted with Ms. Lyon a few months back at one of her book signings and she seemed pretty chill about the whole situation, or maybe just tired from dealing with such a prudish reaction. The book has been on (most) Canadian shelves since last August, long enough to be nominated for the Governor-General's Literary Award for Fiction (and a ton of others), shortlisted for the Scotiabank Giller Prize and awarded the Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize.
The book will be coming out in the States on September 7th with a cover that focusses on Alexander the Great as the great warrior he would become rather than the less-often told tale of his coming of age which Lyon crafts in moving detail. The upcoming American cover doesn't suit the story itself nearly as well as our moody Canadian version does. The novel depicts real-life Aristotle as reflective to the point of self-absorption and, in truth, kind of a mopey guy not fond of war or galloping horses at all. I have the impression that as Alexander's tutor, Lyon's Aristotle would have preferred to preserve some part of the burdened yet still innocent youth of the Alexander depicted on the banned cover even if it meant he could never ride BC Ferries again.
There's nudes in National Geographic? Where, which ones?
I hope the [presumed] offended parents and youths, don't wander through any museums or art galleries or peruse any issue of National Geographic. They are all filled with naked bums! This is not a book meant for children and not prominently displayed in children's areas. We are becoming a society so afraid of offending, that we ban books based on"what if...?" Would we deny our children the opportunity to experience history and culture to protect them from something that is right behind all of us everyday?
Hrmph. I've got two young kids and if there's one thing they're not shocked by, it's nekkid bums. In fact, any excuse to strip down and parade 'em around is the prevailing attitude from what I see.
Count me as 'among others'.
Count me as 'among others'. I'm a writer. Gay. A fairy of the ferries.
We children were 'seen and not heard' in our day.
Apparently now? Children should be 'seen and herded'. Just look at what B.C. Ferries has done to the children's play area. They have plonked a t.v. in among the plastic forms.
I still laugh at how it took B.C. Ferries years to figure out: "B.C. Ferries - Cruising the Straights".

Though luxury spending is on an uptick, some designers at New York Fashion Week are still trying to appeal to the largest possible number of consumers by offering wearable looks.
At the Callula Lillibelle presentation Monday morning, the label, which was launched just one year ago, showed several styles that ranged from classic and feminine to too-trendy. The contemporary design house is known for its affordable womenswear—a retail expert said most pieces are priced under $200—that can be worn from day to night. The brand boasts different separates, like skirts and jackets, which can be mixed and matched.
Lillibelle's fall 2011 collection, shown in a presentation format with live models, rather than on the catwalk of a runway show, included some standout outfits. One eye-catcher was an oversized belted camel coat paired with skinny cigarette pants; another featured a tweed dress and jacket over lemon-yellow tights. Many looks incorporated masculine elements, such as a necktie or boxy shouldered jacket, with more feminine elements, including colored tights or fishnet stockings and full skirts that evoked an Audrey Hepburn aura.
But the mixture of trendy and traditional missed the mark in some cases.
"They need to focus on who their customer is," said Cheryl Maday, who writes her own shopping blog Cheryl Shops and has been covering Fashion Week since 2006. She noted that some outfits worked and were "ladylike and polished," but others were too outrageous, such as an oversized, broad-shouldered topcoat and bright green sequined leggings. Ms. Maday also noted that some pant pieces looked as though they were sized incorrectly. "Someone was not using their hip-curve ruler when making them," she said.
Yet the designs featured at the Carlos Miele runway show, which also took place Monday morning, also strove for classic and trendy but are not expected to alienate consumers. Mr. Miele walked a variety of colors down the catwalk, from vivid orange and red to bright purple and lime green. Some elements were in keeping with current trends, such as 70s-inspired stripes and high-waisted pants. There were also a few classic pieces, such as a stately black tea-length dress with embellished short sleeves.
One retail expert said the collection could be worn throughout the seasons, not only for fall, an element that could appeal to shoppers trying to squeeze the most bang for their buck year-round.
"[Mr. Miele] is Brazilian, so a lot of his stuff is seasonless," said Aaron Bernstein, editor-in-chief of New York shopping blog The Shophound. He noted that much of the designer's items look similar season after season, which could be appealing to a loyal fan base, but would do little to win over new customers looking for fresh ideas.

St. Andrews to Allow Women Members
By mustang6560 on 4/29/11
Please read this article with a British accent.
St. Andrews, one of golf's most famous men-only clubs, may soon allow women to join as full members.
The committee at the St Andrews Golf Club, which is run from a handsome Victorian mansion overlooking the greens and fairways of the fabled Old Course, has written to its 2,000 male members recommending that it admit women to the club. The club, founded in 1843, has warned its members that under the new Equality Act, the club could face prosecution for failing to allow women to join. Keeping the ban would be a "retrograde step" as it would mean women would also have to be barred from its clubhouse as guests.
While St. Andrews may reverse its membership policy in the near future, the R&A (Royal & Ancient) has no immediate plans to allow women to join. The thing is, not everyone is against men-only clubs.
But the main women's golfing organisations were much less enthusiastic. Shona Malcolm, chief executive officer of the Ladies Golf Union, which has 3,000 affiliated women-only clubs, said: "We have absolutely no problem with single-gender clubs at all. We're very supportive of single-gender clubs: what it does is allow golfers the freedom to choose what kind of club they want to join."
I applaud St. Andrews for taking the first step to allow female members. A club as old and as traditional as St. Andrews, change is not often accepted and tolerated very easily. I'm sure some of the members would not be happy to see women allowed as members.
I wonder if this will turn up the heat on Augusta National? As much as some people would like to see Augusta National allow women as members, I wouldn't hold my breath.
wedgeit says:
i should point out this also means that under the new eqality act, i as a male member have the right to join a woman only club? how will this effect compition matches as i will then be compeating with ladies. I would under equality rules have to play from the same tee?

Ray White GC South Network nailed its Summer Spectacular auction event, which kicked off on Saturday morning at Currumbin RSL
juliol 11, 2022 · by Juanjo · in new deal title loans
OF the 159 Ray White Group auctions scheduled to go to auction across the weekend, the pick of the action happened on the Gold Coast.
From the 23 properties scheduled to go to auction, nine sold under the hammer with four selling prior and two listings selling immediately after the event.
Guided by experienced auctioneer Phil Parker, Ray White GC South Network recorded around $12 million worth of sales at a clearance rate of around 65 per cent within 48 hours of the auction.
Bidding opened at $850,000 and quickly escalated to the million-dollar mark after a handful of $25,000 bids made by seven parties who threw their hats in the ring
"There was a great atmosphere, a good attendance of around 150 people and the event exceeded our expectations," Ray White GC South Network's Brendan Gibb said.
"Everyone worked really hard on the basics in the lead-up to the event and it showed on the day in results."
Most of the buyers in the room were locals, according to Mr Gibb who sold 35 Oakland Parade, Banora Point for $820,000.
"It went to a nice local family, with the sellers an older couple who had raised all their kids in the big family house they'd owned for 20 years," Mr Gibb said.
The group's top auction sale of the weekend also occurred on the Gold Coast, with Ray White Mermaid Beach top agent Troy Dowker securing $2.3 million for a beachfront house (above) at 14 Pacific Parade, Bilinga. For the second week in a row Troy Dowker's sold the most expensive property in the group, under the hammer.
The original 1960s home, on a 673sq m block, can be renovated or demolished to make way for the likes of luxury one-per-floor boutique apartments.
Mr Dowker's Saturday morning on-site auction attracted three registered bidders, two of them active, in a crowd of around 50 people.
Occupying a larger than average block of 673sq m, this was an excellent opportunity to secure one of the last original beachfront houses on the southern end of Pacific Parade in the popular lifestyle Kirra precinct location of Bilinga.
The property offers flexibility to renovate with the existing structure or a fantastic opportunity to build your ideal beachfront home or luxury one per floor boutique apartments. Congrats to Troy and his vendors.
Meantime in Brisbane, a three-week campaign featuring 63 inspections resulted in an competitive auction with seven registered bidders for 3/455 Adelaide St, Brisbane.
The deceased estate occupying the entire third floor of the luxury Bellagio complex sold under the hammer in the afternoon for $2.075 million, through Ray White New Farm's Brandon Wortley.
It was the group's third highest auction sale across the country on the weekend, behind Ray White Seaforth's Mark Griffiths result of a $2.14 million deal on a solid-single level home on a 698sq m block at 6 Willawa St, Balgowlah Heights (above).
Ray White Seaforth's ily property which sold in front of a crowd of around 50 people and had three registered bidders on Saturday morning.
Also in Sydney, 25 registered bidders in a crowd of around 150 people were eyeing off a 968sq m deceased estate which sold for $1.405 million under the hammer.
Ray White Castle Hill's Paul Conti said the location of 4 Tuckwell Rd, Castle Hill, close to the local shopping centre and within walking distance to the upcoming Castle Hill Rail Station, was a huge drawcard for interested buyers.
There was 25 registered bidders for the property with a a crowd of more than 150 people. Auctioneer James Kerley actually broke his gavel on the fall of his hammer, while Mr Conti said the sale "smashed all price expectations."
It turned into a two-horse race after $1.35 million. 405 million after a final $1000 bid. It sold title loans California for a whopping $425,000 above the reserve.
"It's a nice, flat block and I can build a house that I like," said Ms Lie, who had been looking to upgrade in the same area so her kids could attend the local schools.
"I think this is good value for this land because after this month the train will be going through and in the future you can build a townhouse or develop it. It's a wide, decent block. It's really good. I'm a builder, [I know] it's good value," Mr Liu said.
The hammer eventually fell at $1
"This is a bargain. It's a good location. [A property] close to the train station and shopping centre will never go down [in price over the long term]," he said.
The home was a deceased estate and the former owner's 94-year-old brother had driven from Dubbo to watch the auction take place.

Students Question AUP's Exam Schedule
By Sukhi Borse (she/her)

Administration and students disagree with this year's delayed final exam period
With final exams ending only four days before Christmas, students' stress is on the rise as they worry about reaching home in time for spending the holidays with their families—especially amidst the constantly changing travel regulations following the rise of the Omicron COVID-19 variant.
Students are frantic in figuring out how to get to their home countries, and many are leaving before the final exam period. "There is only one flight a week from Paris to my home country," said Costa Rica native, Sofia Quintero, "So it was either getting a flight out before exams or risk missing Christmas." Quintero's concerns have been echoed within the student body, as many students face the possibility of missing the holiday season with their loved ones.

The mixed responses from the AUP community have also left some students feeling confused. President Schenck sent a school-wide email on December 7, 2021 which indicated that there would be no changes in the final exam schedule as France is keeping an eye on COVID-19 situation. Additionally, the email claims that all exam format decisions were in the hands of individual professors, and there will be no intervention on behalf of AUP administration for students who request exemptions.
This email was meet with mixed criticism from students as they understood the difficulty of creating the exam schedule but felt it ultimately did not best serve their needs. Many students have been left waiting in anticipation to hear about last minute changes in exam formats. "I still haven't booked my flight because my professor has not decided if we are having the exam in-person or online yet," said senior Giulia Giordo. These last-minute changes can prove to be costly as some students have had to cancel flights; however, due to the ongoing pandemic, it seems many airlines and companies are flexible with flight changes.
Some professors have been willing to work with students to accommodate for unexpected circumstances like flight changes or COVID-19 restrictions. "Luckily, all my professors are okay with me taking my exams online," said Quintero, "But I know that this is not the case for everyone." These varying circumstances and lack of standard procedure has created an added weight to already stressed-out students. "This is the last thing anyone would want to deal with while studying for finals," said Giordo.

AUP's administration has explained the final exam schedule does not have much wiggle room for changes as it is set according to how the academic calendar for the semester pans out. This is planned by a special Academic Calendar Committee for the university. "Creating this calendar takes into account a lot of complicated issues like required course credit hours, compliance of French labor laws, and the observance of holidays," said Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, Christine Tomasek.
The final exam schedule happens to be pushed back late every few years because of how holidays fall on different days of the week. "In theory, the academic calendar would fit perfectly against the way the calendar falls… but the system isn't perfect," said Tomasek. According to Tomasek, students are constantly dissatisfied with the final exam schedule regardless of how close it falls to the holidays. "Everyone is just ready to go home," said Tomasek, "this isn't new."
This year, students remain frustrated as they don't see any solutions to the scheduling issues that benefit or aid them. Currently, the only option for students who are at risk of not being able to stay for their exams is to go directly to AUP Student Development. Students can share their situation to in hopes to advocate for their cause. Even then, administration has reiterated this is for the most extreme situations including family emergencies or incurring financial burden due to flight cancellations.
While thought and extensive work goes into creating a viable academic calendar and final exam schedule, students still face the issue of uncertainty in their travel plans. Coupled with the stress of finals week, students do not benefit from the current situation. "I get that faculty and administration have their ways, but I shouldn't have to question whether or not I'll be home for Christmas," said junior Gabi Mendes.
Understanding all the layers to this complex issue can be difficult, but one thing is clear, students expect more from AUP administration. Making a schedule that fits everyone's needs is an insurmountable task, but students don't feel AUP is listening to their concerns. "It just seems like they don't really care," said Mendes. AUP students must strike a balance between personal lives and university just as faculty and staff do, so why do we not get a say?

The Sophomore Mentoring Program Experience


The EFTA Surveillance Authority (ESA) decided today to bring two cases against Iceland before the EFTA Court. Both cases concerned EEA Acts that Iceland has failed to implement on time. The EEA Acts concern marketing of explosive precursors as well as machinery for pesticide application.
Regulation 98/2013 lays down rules for the marketing of explosive precursors, to prevent the illegal manufacturing of explosives. Explosive precursors are substances that can be used for the purposes of making explosives. The Regulation seeks to reduce the accessibility of high-risk chemical explosive precursors to private individuals and introduces the obligation for economic operators to report any suspicious transactions involving explosive precursors as well as other substances that are also considered dangerous. The rules foreseen in Regulation 98/2013 will contribute to ensure greater security of explosives, bomb-making equipment and technologies that can be used for the purpose of terrorist acts. The EFTA States were required to incorporate the regulation by 1 August 2015.
Directive 2009/127 amends and updates a previous directive on machinery for pesticide application. This includes self-propelled, towed, vehicle-mounted, semi-mounted and airborne machinery, as well as stationary machinery intended for pesticide application, both for professional and non-professional use. The EFTA States were required to implement the directive by 1 June 2015.
Lodging a case at the EFTA Court is the last step in a formal infringement procedure against an EFTA State. Prior to this, Iceland has been informed about ESA's view and had a chance to bring forward its arguments as well as to settle the case by complying within the applicable deadline.

However, ASE comes with a downside - a steep increase in cost $$$ (consider the number of the environment typical development team needs), time it takes to deploy a new environment can be anywhere from 2 hrs+. Development teams often find it is safer to leave ASE environments running then to tear down to avoid such lead times.
IaaS, running Virtual Machines (VM) or Virtual Machine Scale Set (VMSS) yourself can sometimes be considerably cheaper, however only do it if you are up to take on responsibility for patching and managing the VMs.
Containerisation and hosting of the application within Azure Kubernetes Service or Service Fabric Cluster could be a great alternative with the same level of isolation as the App Service Environment and much lower cost!. You can still have all the network isolation you desire minus some of the overhead of managing the infrastructure.
If you prefer Public App Service, there is a great feature called IP restriction that works on the front-end role (load balancer level), so external traffic never reaches your application. If you want to connect to on-premise resources like SQL databases, consider Hybrid Connections.

The Oley Yoder Heritage Association
The Oley Yoder Family
The Oley Yoders are proud of our heritage.
Our patriarchs, the brothers Johannas (OH) and Jost (OY) Joder came from the village of Steffisburg near the capital city of Berne, Switzerland. They sought refuge in the New World, from the religious persecution suffered in their native country. The genealogy of the lineage can be traced back to approximately 1340 AD.
Johannas (Hans) Joder is documented as the first Yoder to arrive in America. Chronicled data has established that Hans departed England in March 1709 with his family of a wife, two sons, ages nine and four, and a daughter age one. Solemnly, when the ship arrived in New York, only Hans and his oldest son Johannas come through the journey. Hans Yoder first bought land in northern Chester County, but by 1714 was granted land along the Manatawny Creek in the Oley Valley in Berks County, Pennsylvania. He and his brother Jost (Yost) petitioned and settled adjoining land in 1720, where they established a Family Cemetery in the midst of the two homesteads. The two brothers died in 1742. The original wills are registered at the Court House in Philadelphia. A translation of their wills appear on the Yoder Web site.
Four descendants of Hans Jr.(OH1) and nine children of Yost developed and cultivated the original land over the subsequent years, with many of their offspring buried in the cemetery.The Yoder Family Cemetery, now entitled the Pleasantville Union Cemetery, is located near the intersection of Route 73 and Covered Bridge Road in Pleasantville, Oley Township in Berks County, Pennsylvania. The restoration and maintenance of the historical family burial ground is the main focus of the present Oley Yoder Heritage Association. Several activities, such as the publication and sale of the Yoder Cookbook and the establishment of the 1996 Oley Yoder National Reunion were instituted to raise endowed funds for the cemetery. The Oley Yoders are planning a second National Reunion on July 21, 2001. Over the past four years, the association has sponsored an annual reunion on the 3rd Saturday in July. A family reunion has been held sporadically since 1920.
The Oley Yoder Heritage Association is made up of dedicated individuals who have family ties to the Oley Yoder Family lineage. Mailing address:

ACD.net's representative said the firm is aware of the PR crisis arising from the racist comments made by its CFO Kirk Shewchuck.
Kirk Shewchuck, Chief Financial Officer of a telecommunications company in Lansing, MI, is facing allegations of racist comments about Native Americans. Shewchuck left a voicemail on May 20, 2014 for the Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Planning Engineer concerning ACD.net's plans to build a cell phone tower on tribal land. After leaving a voicemail about the easement, Shewchuck failed to properly hang up and was recorded saying offensive remarks towards Native Americans. Shewchuck even made a veiled threat to scramble phone signals, which has caught the attention of the Department of Homeland Security.
Tribal Chief Steve Pego denounced the racist comments of CFO Kirk Shewchuck, encouraging those in the Saginaw Chippewa Tribe to switch providers for metro Ethernet, telephone, fiber optic, and other telecommunications services. According to a representative from ACD.net, the firm is aware of the incident and willing to meet with the tribal chief to resolve the situation. To date, Shewchuck and tribal leaders have been unavailable for comment.
While you might not face a situation similar to that of Kirk Shewchuck, the reality is that every CFO must be prepared to handle a PR crisis. Whether it's lower than expected quarterly results, a public gaffe, or something in-between, blunders can spiral out of control and create a public image disaster. According to an interview with Ronn Torossian at Entrepreneur Magazine, the best way to handle a PR crisis is to drop everything and deal with the situation immediately.
By addressing the issue promptly, CFOs and their organizations can get "in front" of the story. Instead of using the "Let's wait until the investigation is done" approach, CFOs that take immediate action are more apt to turn a crisis on its head.
Perhaps the best lesson of how to handle a PR crisis comes from Lieutenant-General David Morrison, Australia's Chief of Army. When news broke of officers sharing explicit emails denigrating women, he denounced the scandal immediately. But instead of rehashing the specific charges or focusing on what happened, he spent two-thirds of his time talking about the future, the positive things about the army, and his values.
Are you focusing on the positive? Or better yet, does the public believe you to be, and are they following suit?

Training Camp | 2021
Jabril Cox's Progress Further Strengthens LB Group
Rob Phillips
DallasCowboys.com Senior Writer
AP Photo/Rick Scuteri
FRISCO, Texas – Mike McCarthy has coached in the NFL since 1993, including 15 years as a head coach. He can't think of a stronger linebacker group on paper than the Cowboys' current group.
"I've never had comfort like we have right now," the Cowboys' head coach said. "I'm not trying to disrespect anybody, but to have that depth and that veteran experience from top to bottom and then to have the rookie class joining, it's an outstanding group of linebackers."
It's a great situation for McCarthy and his staff. From a playing time standpoint, it's an uphill climb for Jabril Cox – a three-time FCS national champion at North Dakota State and one-year starter at SEC powerhouse LSU – who's battling for reps behind veterans Leighton Vander Esch, Jaylon Smith and Keanu Neal as well as 12th-overall draft pick Micah Parsons.
But Cox, a fourth-round draft pick in April, sees the depth as a chance to learn.
"We have a great veteran group ahead of me," he said. "Leighton, J, Micah, Keanu – those guys, they've helped out tremendously, especially Luke (Gifford). So just learning from them. I know early on it's a learning curve, but once I get my opportunity I try to make the most of it."
As training camp wears on, Cox appears to be doing just that.
He has led or tied for the most tackles in the last two preseason games: seven (two for loss) against Arizona and four (one for loss) against Houston. He also added a special teams tackle in the Cardinals game, an important step for his expected role as a backup linebacker and core special teams contributor as a rookie.
"I think he's kind of on a normal plane for a young guy. He picks it up really clean," McCarthy said. "I think his introduction to pro football was a little bumpy at the Hall of Fame Game when he first got in there, and I thought he responded very well. I think he's definitely done that the last two weeks.
"He had a really good play out in space (last Saturday against the Texans) and definitely you could see his range and his instincts, his awareness. I think he's doing a nice job. He obviously has to do more on special teams because that's always where the young guys make their first impact."
Cox looks forward to that role. He got his first college playing time on special teams at North Dakota State and played on the punt team at LSU.
At linebacker, Cox says he's focusing on understanding the responsibilities of the entire defense, not just his own. Regarded as an excellent coverage linebacker in college, he's also working to improve his tackling in preseason.
Sunday's preseason finale against Jacksonville should provide another chance for significant snaps – and to make an impression on the coaching staff.
"Depending on if I'm getting one snap or 10 snaps, I'm trying to make the most of those opportunities," he said.

Windshield repairs are often a great option for damaged windshields. When the damage is small enough and caught early enough, a windshield repair can be performed and save you from having to replace the entire piece of glass. It's important to contact Weathers Auto Supply as soon as you notice damage to give you the best chances that a repair can be performed. If the damage is left and exposed to weather, debris, and temperature changes, the chances that the windshield can be repaired begin to diminish. If you're in Tupelo and want to see if your windshield can be repaired, contact us at one of our area locations.
Windshield repairs can typically be completed in about 15 minutes, but it's important that the materials used in the repair are able to cure properly. On average, the entire curing process takes about 15 minutes meaning the entire repair process takes about 30 minutes. For more information on windshield repairs, feel free to contact us here.
What Is The Windshield Repair Process?
Windshield repairs are the process of masking damage to a vehicle's windshield by injecting a special resin into the damaged area. The resin then bonds to the glass, restoring the look and strength of the windshield and causing the visible damage to almost disappear.


The inaugural Medina Ride of Silence was held Wednesday, May 20th. Starting at the Century Cycles shop, sixteen riders rode at a slow pace in near-silence to commemorate bicyclists who have been killed or injured on America's public roadways. The ride was completed safely, but since the ride was close to the city of Medina, there were plenty of motorists who showed their lack of knowledge of the rules of the road. Hopefully through events like this, cyclists can raise awareness of this critical issue.
Thanks to the Medina County Bicycle Club for their help in getting the event organized. You can find more information about the world-wide Ride of Silence campaign at www.rideofsilence.org.

10 Stadiums 10 Days
Day Eight 2019: Camden Yards, Baltimore
Posted by bwilson3560 on June 17, 2019 June 17, 2019
Previous game: Bethpage Ballpark in Long Island
Next game: Nationals Park in Washington, D.C.
Miles traveled to get here: 238
Miles traveled total: 3,912
Final Score: Toronto Blue Jays 8, Baltimore Orioles 6
After a few delays, the Greyhound from New York arrived in Baltimore in the middle of the afternoon. I had already booked an AirBnb a couple of blocks from Camden Yards, which looked to be about a mile walk from the bus station. It definitely wasn't the most scenic of strolls, but I didn't encounter many people on my way over.
After checking into my room, I walked outside and noticed two things immediately. One was that I was about two blocks from Babe Ruth's birthplace (more on that later). The other was that a bar, Quigley's, was about ten feet from my room. I don't think I've ever stayed in a place closer to a bar than this one. I had a good amount of time before game time so it seemed like an excellent place to soak up some local culture.
Quigley's 1/2 Irish Pub in Baltimore. See the steps on the right side of the photo? That was my AirBnB. How could I NOT stop by?
I think it was Quigley himself who greeted me from behind the bar. The two other patrons sat to either side of me; one of them had literally been hired by Quigley about five minutes before I walked in. I was his very first customer, sort of. "You ready to start working?" Quigley asked his new hire. "I guess so?" he said. I was a little sad I had missed the interview, whatever that was. "Here, you should have a beer first," Quigley decided, cracking open a Bud Light can and sliding it toward new guy. Then he opened one for himself. Then he asked me what I wanted. Before I could answer, he told me I should try one of their local specialties. As long as it wasn't Bud Light, I said.
While the new hire was finishing his pre-work beer, Quigley regaled us with a meandering story about his time at a national bartender's convention, I think in Atlantic City. First the story was about a random girl who came right up to him and kissed him passionately for no reason. Then it was about a fight that happened directly in front of him, where one guy knocked out another guy and the head of knocked-out guy landed on Quigley's back, drenching his fancy silk shirt ("one of the Jerry Garcia shirts, you know what I'm talking about?") in blood, which he didn't realize until someone told him later. Then he drove home the next morning in his bloody shirt because he didn't bring any other clothes. I kept thinking the Girl part of the story and the Fight part of the story were going to come together in some sort of extraordinary cinematic climax, but when I asked what became of the girl, he gave me a quizzical look and told me he had no idea. I was having a hard time figuring out where this story was going, but at least it contained an impressive level of profanity, considering we had just met five minutes before.
By this point the new hire had just about finished his Bud Light, so Quigley put him to work removing cans of beer from a fridge that the two of them were going to move. I turned in the other direction and started a conversation with the fourth guy who was there. He seemed super nice, and had lots of good tips about both Camden Yards and Nationals Park. When I asked why he was in town, he told me his wife was in the hospital and things weren't looking good; she has leukemia. I didn't want to pry at all, but I was really glad to provide a distraction for him, at least for a few minutes; he seemed relieved to be talking baseball. I finished the rest of my beer and headed over to the ballpark.
Let me just get this out of the way first: Camden Yards is the best ballpark in the country. It's really hard to compare all of them, particularly when it comes to Fenway and Wrigley, both of which are ballpark nirvana. So I generally sort of just put those two in their own category. But even Red Sox and Cubs fans, as much as they might love their fields, probably have to admit that they're kinda dumpy. In a great way, of course! I loved Tiger Stadium, too, but it was pretty dumpy and they eventually tore it down because it had neither a giant green wall nor a cool ivy-covered wall. If there was some sort of iconic feature to Tiger Stadium, I think there's a decent chance it still exists today.
But all three of those had/have their infrastructure problems (along with the two older West Coast parks, Dodger Stadium and the Coliseum). Camden Yards, on the other hand, has an old-school feel but all the amenities of a modern park. It's the best of all worlds. And on top of that, the people there are incredibly nice. Thus, I think it might actually be the best one.
I walked in from the centerfield entrance, directly into the statue garden. It's shaded, which is sort of an odd perk, but I realized as I was strolling through it that most other stadium statue areas are baking in the sun. You felt like you wanted to linger there, instead of just snapping a photo and quickly moving along out of the heat like you do in most ballparks.
After walking along the warehouse wall area, I met up with a Twitter friend, Sierra, who was born in Santa Rosa CA, but has since landed a job in ballpark services at Camden Yards. She's a true free-spirit who isn't afraid to do things her way. And the fact that she loves baseball, I mean REALLY loves baseball, led to her to pursue a job at the park. I love when people are determined to mix what they love with making a living; the two don't have to be separate, you know! [full transcript of interview with Sierra here. Audio of interview here]
Anyway, Sierra is slowly warming to Baltimore, and is even considering staying there long term once she finishes her degree.
"I'm in a ballpark operations," Sierra told me as we sat at a table in Dempsey's, which is in that giant warehouse wall you see at Camden Yards. "So we run all the game-day staff and the day-to-day events with all the ushers and security and parking and media credentials, things like that."
Sierra's love for the game was instilled early on, when she was at the tender age of 0.1.
"I have to credit my dad for that," she said. "He took me to my first game at Candlestick Park when I was six weeks old, which was the start of it, but I grew up going to a lot of Giants' games, obviously at AT&T Park after that."
She's not fully committed to the Orioles yet ("who cares about the American League, right?"), but she does love working at Camden Yards, and clearly has a knack for interacting with the fans.
Speaking of which, the ballpark personnel at Camden were the nicest I have ever encountered. It was obvious that there had been training sessions in how to make people feel good about their ballpark experience. I wish that same training had taken place at other stadiums that I won't mention, but that rhyme with 'Hanky Arcadium.'
And the food was fantastic.
Boog's BBQ follows (or maybe started, who knows) the trend among stadiums of providing a famous retired hero with a place to serve brisket and pulled pork and coleslaw. I'm not clear on whether each of these athletes actually had a knack for whipping up delicious BBQ before these opportunities came along, or if they just happen to have the right face and personality (and name: Boog) to make people want to eat it. Frankly, I don't care all that much. Boog's was out of this world.
I am happily married but if I were single and it weren't considered socially inappropriate and weird, I would marry this sandwich.
I had the Pit Beef Sandwich with chips. The meat was tender, juicy, not-at-all dried out. It felt like a sandwich that had been put together 60 seconds before I took my first bite, and that's not always the case for ballpark food. Even the chips were extra-special.
Just outside of Boog's booth is a ridiculously good condiments and toppings bar, with several different BBQ sauce selections and sliced onions and a rockin' horseradish. I was tempted to try some of the other delicacies at Camden Yards, especially the crabcakes, but I was absolutely certain I had made the right choice.
Members of the Baltimore Men's Chorus. the super smiley guy in the back row without the hat was really interested in my trip, and even stopped me to shake my hand the second time I wandered by the group way later in the game. These are some really cool guys!
It was Pride Night at the ballpark, I think the third time on the trip for me. I felt lucky enough to be at a game when everyone's in an even more celebratory mood than usual. Kudos to MLB and the owners and local activists (and whoever else!) for making these happen. The Baltimore Men's Chorus did a tremendous job with the National Anthem (both of the anthems, actually, since the Orioles were playing Toronto), and then I was able to chat with a few of the guys afterward; they're a wonderful bunch.
I've seen two grand slams on this trip: On my very first day, the Marlins' Brian Anderson hit one against the Brewers. Today, Toronto's Rowdy Tellez hit one, and the Jays eventually held on to beat the Orioles 8-6 before a sparse crowd that became even sparser as the game dragged into its fourth rain-drenched hour. It says something about Camden Yards that I still thought it was the best ballpark on the trip, despite this being probably the worst and longest game, between two not-very-good teams. I was excited to see Vlad Guerrero Jr., who went 3-for-5, but not much else in terms of the game. Right now in Baltimore, the draw is the park, not the game itself.
The weather seemed to hold up for a long time, but eventually the rains came in about the fifth, and they didn't really stop for the remainder of the game. I was fairly surprised that they never delayed it; it got to a point where grounds crew guys were throwing that quick-dry sand down around the bases and on the mound every time there was a break in the action. And since the Blue Jays changed pitchers 39 times after Edwin Jackson departed, they had a lot of chances to do so.
Zach and Rob: two of the nicest people I met. Maybe the nicest, honestly. They're in the auto painting business, along with those other dudes behind us.
For a while, since I was sitting mostly in covered areas, I didn't realize it had started to rain. Eventually, I started to see more and more people heading up to the covered seats. Down the third base line, close to the section where I actually had a ticket, I met Zach and Rob, two automotive painters from Easton, MD. When I first sat down next to them, they were in a rather involved conversation about where to get a cheap bushel of crabs. I was immediately intrigued, as I had never heard such a conversation before.
Easton is across the Chesapeake Bay, about an hour from the park. I really couldn't picture where they were talking about, and they had these AMAZING southern accents that made me even more confused, as it sounded like they were from Georgia or Alabama. But nope, they told me, that was just how people talked in their neck of the woods (I think they actually said 'our neck of the woods.'). At any rate, I had to check out a map when I arrived back home.
Ohhhh! That's where Easton is!
Zach and Rob were in town on the owner's dime, I think, as they were going to some sessions at an auto painting seminar the following day. There's no doubt that they were the most excited anyone's been to be featured on the blog, so I hope I didn't wait too long and they forgot to check. I've met a ton of fun and kind people, but no one has made me feel as much like a big-shot as these guys. Fellas, if you're reading this, send me a message; I had a great time hanging out and would really like to know what you ended up paying for that bushel of crabs!
The game itself, as I mentioned, was long. I mean, REALLY long. Four hours and five minutes for a non-delayed nine inning game between two teams with 45-89 records that featured 12 pitchers throwing 374 pitches. I had to laugh as I was leaving the stadium and heard that the winning pitcher, Edwin Jackson, had moved to 1-4 on the season. Losing pitcher David Hess fell to 1-9. Not a masterpiece, but the fans were cheering 'til the last out and the home team did make a bit of a game of it when they came back from an 8-2 deficit by scoring four in the eighth and then putting runners on first and second in the bottom of the ninth to bring the winning run to the plate. Nothing happened after that, though.
I did get to see Waterford Kettering alum Paul Fry pitch for the Orioles, and from the super-close and super-wet seats right behind the plate; there weren't many fans left down there in the mist at that point. I never had Fry as a student while I was teaching at Kettering, and I retired from coaching the ninth grade baseball team before he made his way through the program. Mike Malley, one of my very good friends, who has also since moved on from Waterford, was Fry's coach in high school, so I made sure to tell Mike I was one of approximately 350 people left at Camden Yards watching Fry pitch. I've followed his career from afar for a while now. He gave up a couple of hits to the Jays in the last inning but escaped unharmed to lower his ERA to 3.21. It's cool to see someone you have a personal connection with do well, even if you've never had a chance to meet that person. The other major league player who graduated from Waterford Kettering? Kirk Gibson. My current school, Palo Alto High School, also has some impressive baseball lineage. But since I had made the mistake last year of actually SAYING something to Paly grad Joc Pederson while the Dodgers were playing the Rockies and I was on the field for batting practice, I decided it would be best to keep my mouth shut this time.
It was very cool seeing Waterford Kettering Alum Paul Fry throw for the Orioles.
The game finally ended and I made my way back the few blocks to my AirBnB. The next morning, I was planning on writing for a while and then checking out the Babe Ruth museum before figuring out how to get to DC for the Nationals game.
The Ruth birthplace and museum is very cool: it's a $10 admission but I think it's worth it, just to know that you're in the very place where the Babe was born. He didn't actually grow up much in this house, as it belonged to his grandfather. But his mother was upstairs when the Babe made his first appearance and, I'm guessing, the brick house looks pretty much the same as it did in 1895.
This was the most confusing trip out of town I've had thus far, rivaling only the infamous Milwaukee bus incident for sheer perplexity. I thought I was doing pretty well, and really only made one mistake, that ended up leading me to a delicious coffee and sandwich stop. I picked up a $2/fare downtown Baltimore train heading toward the bus station and was confident that I was on my way to D.C., until that train decided not to stop where I thought it was going to. I even go off at the stop that was closest, thinking I could just walk the rest of the way to Penn Station, but changed my mind and got right back on. It was the wrong decision, as the next stop was not for a few miles down the road. For a while, I didn't think it was going to stop again. Here I got off, looked at the posted digital schedule that told me the next train headed back in the opposite direction was coming in 29 minutes, and decided I had time to try to find coffee. Sure enough, as soon as I wandered far enough away to not be able to make it back in time, a train DID come, in far fewer than 29 minutes. At that point I figured enough poor travel decisions were being made that it would be best to just find coffee no matter what and try to regroup.
Artifact Coffee in the Woodberry neighborhood north of Baltimore
The train stop in Woodberry. Wait. Where am I again?
The place I did find after wandering for a bit, Artifact Coffee, was absolutely delicious; the best coffee I had on the trip, and I say that as a guy who is very much NOT a coffee snob. Normally I'm just like "Starbucks? Pete's? Philz? Gas Station? Sure. Whatever. I like coffee." But THIS coffee was super great. The homemade English Muffin ham-and-egg sandwich was spectacular too. This was the best regroup I've ever had.
Eventually, I made my way back to the station and from there back to near-enough Penn Station to be able to walk, like I should have done two hours before. It didn't matter much, as the Nationals' game wasn't until 7:00 and I was full of good coffee.

Immigration Can Solve Debt Crisis Caused by Ageing Populations - Canada Immigration and Visa Information. Canadian Immigration Services and Free Online Evaluation.
An investment bank executive has warned that several economies around the globe are facing a debt crisis, with economic growth being stunted by an increasingly ageing population.
According to the European chief executive of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, the average age of the population has been increasing in the US, Japan and Europe, increasing the pressure on younger individuals to bear their burden.
Japan, most noticeably, has been struggling to cope with its ageing population. The country's gross governmental debt has increased to more than 200% of its gross domestic product and it is predicted to cross 400% by 2040. As a result, the Japanese government has announced drastic measures to boost economic productivity, with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe keen on increasing female labour participation.
Goldman Sachs believes that a more straightforward way out of the crisis would be to boost productivity by increasing immigration. The demographics in most major economies including the US, in Europe and Japan – are a major issue and present us with the question of how we are going to pay down the huge debt burden.
The demographic shift means that we need to look to more creative policy, including immigration and workforce expansion in order to find ways to pay down debt.


We are thrilled to be exhibiting at Bear's Mill again! Gary's first solo show was there in 2006, so the Mill has a special place in our hearts. We are especially happy to be paired up with Dan Knepper! Besides being a first-rate artist, Dan has also been instrumental in encouraging Gary to pursue his art.
Below is the information about the show. From the New Knoxville/New Bremen area, the best route is Rt. 274 west to Rt. 127 south, then Rt. 36 east (about 5 miles), turn right onto Arcanum-Bear's Mill Rd. The Mill is less than a half mile from there.
We would love to see you at the reception on Friday, October 31 from 6–9pm. The show runs through November 23.
You owe it to yourself to visit this great place. Gary will be exhibiting at Bear's Mill with Dan Knepper. Dates for the show are October 31 to November 23. Even if you can't get there during that time, put it on your list of things to do. They have wonderful special events throughout the year but anytime feels special when you at the Mill.

Triangulation And Cowardice In North Carolina
(This is a joint post by Bryan and Douglas.)
If this is what a resistance looks like, then we are boned.
In another installment of As The Democrats Negotiate Against Themselves, Gov. Roy Cooper and Democrats in the General Assembly struck a deal that would "repeal" HB2, the infamous "bathroom bill" that has made it into a pariah state for corporate interests ranging from the NCAA and ACC to Google and Wells Fargo. This law was passed in the wake of Charlotte passing an ordinance banning discrimination against trans people as they access public facilities. Born from reaction and playing into the worst impulses present in North Carolina's electorate, HB2 was a moral abomination of a law, rammed through by a Republican legislature in a special session called by the Republican lieutenant governor and signed by a Republican governor, and the hostility it earned the state across the US was justly earned.
This was the state of play back in December, when the Republican governor who signed HB2, Pat McCrory, grudgingly conceded that he lost a fair election and began turning over power to Roy Cooper, the governor-elect. Cooper, looking for a feather in his cap as he was coming into office, tried to negotiate a compromise between the NC General Assembly (still wholly controlled by the GOP despite a gerrymandered electoral map that has been struck down by federal courts) and the City of Charlotte to repeal HB2 and Charlotte's anti-discrimination ordinance. Charlotte kept their end of the bargain, the General Assembly did not. This left the people negatively affected by HB2 with none of the protections that years of hard organizing had won in Charlotte and left the state with HB2 still on the books.
This brings us to today, where now-Governor Roy Cooper has signed a 'repeal' of HB2. Officially called HB142, it strikes the most egregiously anti-trans parts of the bill, but includes bitter pills. It enjoins any North Carolina municipality from passing another anti-discrimination ordinance for four years. This is notable for two reasons, the main one being that Governor Cooper turned down a similar moratorium in December that would have lasted six months. The second reason is that with the NC General Assembly being firmly in the hands of the Republican Party, it would take one law to make such a moratorium from being four years to being permanent.
There is, however, another reason why HB2 and HB142 are awful, and they have nothing to do with protecting trans people's right to access public spaces.
