Q: Get mysql last uptime I just restarted the MySQL service.
I know how to get the current Uptime, but by any chance is there a way to get the uptime before last restart ?
Thanks

A: I had almost the same problem. I solved it this way:
1) Insert into my.cnf this line:
init_file = /some-path/startup.sql

2) In the file startup.sql you have these MySQL commands:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS MySqlServerLog ( MySqlServerStarted DATETIME );
INSERT INTO MySqlServerLog SET MySqlServerStarted = NOW();

Each time you start/restart the MySQL server this script is executed and it logs very simple the exact start time.
The uptime can be then very easy calculated for each start/restart.

Asking about citizenship on the 2020 census is legal — but the Trump administration may still have broken the law in how it went about adding the question to the list, a federal judge ruled Thursday.
Judge Jesse M. Furman ruled that a legal challenge to the citizenship question can proceed, giving the challengers a chance to try to prove that President Trump's team acted with "animus" toward racial or ethnic minorities in making the decision.
Judge Furman said he already sees "indications" of such animus, based on the way the government cut corners to put the citizenship question on the list for 2020.
The judge said he was particularly troubled by the Trump campaign's move to take credit for the decision to ask the question, crediting the president with "officially" mandating its inclusion.
"Courts have a critical role to play in reviewing the conduct of the political branches to ensure that the census is conducted in a manner consistent with the Constitution and applicable law," the judge wrote.
The citizenship question was asked on the decennial census up through 1950, and still appears in more limited Census Bureau surveys.
But when the Trump administration moved earlier this year to reinstate it to the full census that goes to every household, immigrant-rights, voting-rights and Democratic activists objected.
They predicted immigrants and racial or ethnic minorities may refuse to participate in the census, fearing what might happen to their information. That would lead to a skewed count, which would deny some areas money and voting power they should rightly have if everyone was properly counted, the administration's opponents said.
Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, who oversees the Census Bureau, originally said he added the question at the behest of the Justice Department, which said the question could help it better enforce voting-rights violations.
But more recent documents show Mr. Ross had considered adding the question even before the Justice Department request, raising concerns over his motivation.
Judge Furman said there's no doubt a citizenship question is legal and Mr. Ross "had the power" to add it. But he said if the government added it with suspect motives, that could make the question illegal.
"The Trump administration's plan to demand citizenship status as part of the Census is unlawful — and it would potentially cause a huge undercount that would threaten billions in federal funds and New York's fair representation in Congress and the Electoral College," she said.

Airbus flies high during the 2018 Farnborough Airshow's opening day
Download: Printable PDF Date: 17 Jul 2018 05:14 categories:
Country: United Kingdom Aircraft: Airplanes
Airbus made headlines during the Farnborough Airshow's opening day with news across the company's product portfolio – from nine order announcements for commercial jetliners to the unveiling of its series production facility for the Zephyr High Altitude Pseudo-Satellite (HAPS) and the introduction of SmartForce digital support services for military customers operating Airbus aircraft.
The company's presence during Day 1 of this biennial UK aerospace event clearly underscored Airbus' motto, "We make it fly," and was paced by announcements covering acquisitions and commitments for both A320neo Family single-aisle jetliners and widebody A350 XWBs.
The best-selling A320's "unbeatable combination"
Pacing the business activity was Airbus' single-aisle A320 Family in its NEO (New Engine Option) configurations. Leading the Farnborough Airshow announcements were a Memorandum of Understanding with an undisclosed global lessor for 80 A320neo Family aircraft; a firm order from Macquarie AirFinance Group Limited for 20 A320neo jetliners; Golden Falcon Aviation's order confirmation of 25 aircraft in the A320neo/A321neo versions for Kuwait's Wataniya Airways; and Goshawk Aviation Limited's firm order for 20 A320neo Family jetliners.
Completing today's announcements was the Letter of Intent with New Delhi-based VISTARA for 13 A320neo aircraft, accompanied by this full-service airline's intention to phase-in an additional 37 A320neo Family jetliners from lessors; and an agreement for SalamAir, Oman's first budget airline, to add six new A320neo aircraft to its fleet – of which five are on lease from an undisclosed lessor.
"We have once again demonstrated how the A320neo Family's unbeatable comfort, performance and economics make it the fastest-selling aircraft in the world," Eric Schulz, Airbus Chief Commercial Officer, told journalists attending the Farnborough Airshow.
A350 XWB orders in a strengthening widebody market
Airbus' widebody A350 XWB also logged new business, with Farnborough announcements today involving a Memorandum of Understanding with Taiwan-based STARLUX Airlines for the purchase of 17 A350 XWBs (12 in the A350-1000 version and five of the shorter-fuselage A350-900s); plus a confirmation that Sichuan Airlines of China is ordering 10 A350-900s.
Airbus' Schulz said this new A350 XWB business is another sign that sales opportunities remain sold for the widebody sector, which he described as an extremely long-term market.
"I continue to be quite confident for the widebody market picking up again in the next 18 months to two years," he explained in answering a reporter's question at Farnborough. "There was a massive wave of widebody orders four to five years ago, and the market had to pause a bit while ramping up in rate, and this is now behind us. I see the market starting to accelerate again, particularly in Asia."
Flying in the stratosphere with Airbus' Zephyr HAPS
Airbus' 'We make it fly' motto reached stratospheric heights at the Farnborough Airshow with today's unveiling of the world's first series-production assembly line for unmanned High Altitude Pseudo-Satellites (HAPS), which will build the company's Zephyr HAPS. Located adjacent to Farnborough Airport, this HAPS facility already is in production.
The Zephyr HAPS provides persistent see, sense and connect capabilities with its ability to fly at stratospheric altitudes while carrying a variety of sensors and payloads. Opening new capabilities for commercial, military and institutional end-users, the diversity of Zephyr missions can range from remote monitoring, mapping and planning, border security and electronic intelligence to wide-area relay and fixed broadband or LTE direct connectivity.
In parallel with today's HAPS production facility unveiling, Zephyr S is five days into its maiden flight, having taken off from Arizona. Ultimately, the goal is to enable Zephyr flights of 100 days, as Airbus builds its expertise with the HAPS' combination of solar power and secondary batteries that are charged during the daytime for overnight operation.
Sophie Thomas, Zephyr programme manager at Airbus Defence and Space, said the Zephyr S that currently is airborne already is a success – as it has achieved a new altitude record of 74,000 feet.
SmartForce: support services for military aircraft and helicopters
Airbus' news during the Farnborough Airshow's opening day also involved product applications closer to Earth with the unveiling of its SmartForce digital support services, harnessing the power of data-driven intelligence to improve the operational readiness of company-built aircraft and helicopters that are flown by military customers.
By breaking through information siloes, SmartForce can help military operators more rapidly perform root cause analysis and develop faster troubleshooting methods, providing more efficient support.
An important advantage of SmartForce is the secure-platform sharing of aggregated data between operators, increasing the range, scale and effectiveness of the data while respecting national security boundaries. The result is maximum fleet availability and optimised maintenance – enabling rapid and robust decision-making while controlling costs.
SmartForce builds on Airbus' Skywise aviation data platform for operators of its commercial jetliners, as well as the H-Care Connected Services for helicopter users.

Healthy relationships in one's life require time, attention, and the occasional nurturing. However, men have been depicted in movies and other aspects of pop culture as being unable to dedicate those things into their relationships.
Despite the popular idea of how men handle relationships, they must put in as much time and effort as their female counterparts in order to reap the benefits of good, solid relationships.
This is not limited to only romantic relationships. Men need solid connections to family just as much as they need love and trust in their marriage.
In fact, the relationship men hold with members of their family can directly influence how they later treat their wife. But where do men start when it comes to making the relationships in their lives healthy and strong?
This is one of the most simple ways to maintain healthy relationships, but it is also one of the most important. Simply pay attention. If your partner has a new haircut, you should have been paying enough attention to notice.
One of the top reasons women start cheating on their spouse is because they feel they are not appreciated by their husband. But appreciation is not something that can be shown only some of the time.
Regular declarations of love and small signs of affection can go a long way in being attentive. This applies both to a marriage and a relationship with a family member.
For instance, ignoring phone calls from your mother is not a good way to have healthier relationships in your life.
However, calling on an important day your mother had told you about shows that you pay attention when she speaks and care how her life is going.
As important as it is to pay attention to the needs of others, it is also important to have your own needs fulfilled. However, no one can read minds. The stereotype in many romantic comedies is the idea of a man who cannot express his feelings. Sadly, this can often be a real life struggle for many men. The healthiest relationships require clear and honest communication.
This means if you wish you had more nights with the guys because you feel your friendships are not as strong as they could be, tell your partner.
If your friends feel you spend too much time with your wife, express to them why you are spending time at home. Chances are, everyone will understand and support where you are coming from.
Daily appreciation is similar to being attentive, but it is more progressive. When you have been in a relationship long enough, whether with a romantic partner or a friend, chances are you only share negative feedback.
If you start to feel your relationship is in a rut, or that your friendship is becoming negative, take the wheel and don't wait for the other person to start to solve the problem. A simple start is telling someone each day three things you appreciate about them. It can be as small as how they open the door for you or as big as the support they give you.


In their latest feat of engineering, researchers at Stevens Institute of Technology have taken an ordinary white button mushroom from a grocery store and made it bionic, supercharging it with 3D-printed clusters of cyanobacteria that generate electricity and swirls of graphene nanoribbons that can collect the current.
The work, reported in the Nov. 7 issue of Nano Letters, may sound like something straight out of Alice in Wonderland, but the hybrids are part of a broader effort to better improve our understanding of cells biological machinery and how to use those intricate molecular gears and levers to fabricate new technologies and useful systems for defense, healthcare, and the environment.
Researchers used a robotic arm-based 3D printer to first print an "electronic ink" containing the graphene nanoribbons. This printed branched network serves as an electricity-collecting network atop the mushroom's cap by acting like a nanoprobe — to access bio-electrons generated inside the cyanobacterial cells.
Next, they printed a" bio-ink" containing cyanobacteria onto the mushroom's cap in a spiral pattern intersecting with the electronic ink at multiple contact points. At these locations, electrons could transfer through the outer membranes of the cyanobacteria to the conductive network of graphene nanoribbons. Shining a light on the mushrooms activated cyanobacterial photosynthesis, generating a photocurrent.
This bionic mushroom produces electricity. By integrating cyanobacteria that can produce electricity, with nanoscale materials capable of collecting the current, researchers were able to better access the unique properties of both, augment them, and create an entirely new functional bionic system.
The amount of electricity these bacteria produce can vary depending on the density and alignment with which they are packed, such that the more densely packed together they are, the more electricity they produce.

ATP ATP Cup Top Story
Henman quits as GB ATP Cup captain
. November 11, 2020
Great Britain is searching for a new team captain for the ATP Cup in January after Tim Henman said he would not be taking on the role.
Henman captained the team earlier this year in Australia but quarantine issues around COVID-19 restrictions have led him to withdraw.
"The quarantine issues would be me being away from home for too long and that doesn't appeal anymore," Henman said.
"Certainly if things do get back to normal the following year, if asked, I would definitely consider being involved again because it was a great event. I really enjoyed being on court with the players. It was something I've not done before but, yeah, it was a lot of fun."
Tennis Australia chief Craig Tiley has said the format of the event could be changed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"We're getting to crunch time now," he told Australian media.
"We need commitments from the governments and the health officers. We need to kind of know in the next two weeks, maybe a month, that this is what can happen: borders are going to open and then we can have a multi-city event."

It all starts Wednesday evening with the Bar J Wranglers special ticketed concert, and doors open to the public on Thursday through Monday, including Sunday, daily at 10 a.m. Particulars follow.
Hailing from Jackson Hole, Wyo., the Bar J Wranglers concert provides a toe-tappin' and knee-slappin' night of pure talent and cowboy entertainment. The concert is two-parts music, two-parts stand-up comedy and all-out entertainment. Concert, chocolate fondue dessert, and a preview of the Jubilee showcase and shops await all who attend.
The Jubilee Chamber Luncheon takes place amidst the wonder of the Jubilee trees, with keynote speaker Terri L. Kane, vice president of Intermountain Healthcare Southwest Region.
This elegant evening of socializing and gourmet dining is the premier event of the Jubilee of Trees. Guests at the Gala will receive first choice in a live auction as they bid on 15 of the finest custom-designed trees at the Jubilee, as well as items including one-of-a-kind trips, dazzling jewelry, magnificent works of art and much more.
The ambience of the holidays comes alive on the Jubilee of Trees fashion show runway. Guests will preview styles from local retailers that are totally "hot" for all the upcoming seasons.
Hours: Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. | Friday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Various Women's Head Ornaments (drawings by George Groslier)
George Groslier
George Groslier (4 Feb. 1887, Phnom Penh-16 June 1945, Phnom Penh), the first child with French citizenship born in modern Cambodia, artist, novelist, historian, archaeologist, ethnologist, architect, photographer, founder and curator of the National Museum of Cambodia, was the ultimate "Cambodian scholar".
While organizing the School of Cambodian Arts (nowadays the Royal University of Fine Arts) in the 1920s, he has extensively portrayed and studied the country, its people and its traditions, in his writings, paintings and erudite communications. He founded the Phnom Penh Albert Sarraut Museum in 1919, later to become the Cambodia National Museum. Groslier's wife, Suzanne Poujade (1893-1970), was a niece of Albert Sarraut, former Governor-General of Indochina and then French Minister of the Colonies and future Prime Minister.
George Groslier died prisoner in a Japanese concentration camp when Japan -- although formerly an ally of Petain's French government -- occupied vast swaths of South East Asia. With Suzanne Poujade, he had three children, Nicole, Gilbert and Bernard-Philippe, the latter following his father's steps and becoming an eminent researcher in Cambodian archaelogy and history.
Four of his major books -- Cambodian Dancers, Ancient & Modern; In the Shadow of Angkor, Unknown Temples of Ancient Cambodia; Return to Clay, A Romance of Cambodia and Road of the Strong, A Romance of Cambodia -- have been translated into English and published by DatAsia Press.

It said the accounts were eliminated because they engaged in "coordinated inauthentic behavior" — a term used to refer to fake accounts run with the intent of disrupting politics and elections — and not because of the content that was posted.
There was no immediate comment from the military. The ISPR is not part of Inter-Services Intelligence, the country's main spy agency.
Facebook said it also removed nearly 700 pages and accounts linked to an IT Cell of the Indian National Congress, a political party, and 15 pages, groups and accounts linked to an Indian IT firm. It said the two networks had spread posts about domestic politics ahead of India's general election, which will be held in phases from April 11 to May 19.


Morgan Stanley analyst Connor Lynagh double upgraded RPC, Inc. to Overweight from Underweight, contending that its exposure to smaller E&Ps in the Permian and a more dynamic pricing model should allow the company to take advantage of any upside surprises in market tightness or pricing faster and more significantly than peers. Additionally, the stock has lagged peers by over 15% year-to-date, which Lynagh attributes to concerns about its more "spot work" oriented model. The analyst, who sees a cyclical buying opportunity with frac market sentiment at a trough, raised his price target on RPC shares to $15 from $11.
Seaport Global analyst Mike Urban upgraded RPC, Inc. to Buy from Neutral and reinstated a $15 price target. The analyst expects a sharp increase in 1H 2019 completions given a greater focus on returns and cash generation from the E&Ps, which will drive increased focus on monetization. Urban expects the pressure pumping market to tighten up more rapidly than expectations and for RPC to benefit from its exposed capacity to the spot market/smaller customers.
Goldman Sachs started RPC, Inc. with a Sell rating and $10 price target.

Sticking with our theme from Bethesda's first E3 press conference ever, Square Enix is also returning to the big stage this year, reclaiming its stake as one of the most influential, if not the most influential, Japanese developers out there. Things have been looking up for the company after an executive shake-up, a lot of soul searching, and the PlayStation 4 kind of catching on in Japan, and I couldn't be more excited to be a Square Enix fan once again! I mean, what's E3 going to look like with Final Fantasy XV on the way!?
Anyway, with that huge gaping hole in its presentation, here are eight other major games or surprise announcements we want to see from Square Enix on the big stage this year.
It goes without saying that in the West, Kingdom Hearts is Square Enix's second most popular Japanese franchise after Final Fantasy. Fans have been looking forward to Kingdom Hearts III ever since 2005, and Square Enix would be better served not letting another ten years go by without a hint of information. Thankfully, Director Tetsuya Nomura isn't working on Final Fantasy XV anymore … and my guess is he's been able to put a lot more time into making Kingdom Hearts III a little more presentable at E3.
Or not. Apparently, Nomura is promising more information at the Japan D23 Expo in November 2015. Seriously Square Enix, you denied us Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts III at E3 last year. Are we doing his tango again? It's been two years since you first led us on about this one, so it would be polite to at least drop a gallery or something on us. I am tired of using the same screenshots over and over for this game. That Christmas light boat thing is getting so annoying!
Nomura can take his time pushing the game out though because I still need to find a place to squeeze in Kingdom Hearts II beforehand. Maybe I'll get around to it in about three years or so. Maybe we'll have a new trailer by then.
I'm not so sure if we are going to be seeing this one at E3 this year since its announcement is still fresh in our minds. Looking on the bright side though, my guess though is that Square Enix does want to release this in the States at some point or another, just as another example to point to when it comes time to remind its fan base that it, indeed, has started making quality JRPGs again.
Scrap any hope you have for a release date this early in the hype train. I would just be happy with acknowledgment of its existence in the West and confirmation that it will happen eventually. An English trailer or even just the Japanese reveal trailer officially subbed in English by Square Enix would satisfy me this year as a sign of good faith that Square Enix will get around to it.
I also wouldn't mind knowing the platforms either. Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness is only PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 bound in Japan, but some companies have released both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions in the States despite the exclusivity in Japan. That doesn't come through under-the-table deals or anything like that. That's just a side effect of wanting to actually sell software.
I don't know why, but that subtitle always makes me feel like eating a cake.
I'm pretty sure this one is going to be happening on the big stage. The development team has already hinted at a localization, and the first one was an unexpected million seller for Square Enix who thought it had no place in the world beyond Japanese borders. Let's not forget to mention that Bravely Default was a massive critical success as well, and many shower it with love for capturing the original spirit of Final Fantasy in this modern age when even Final Fantasy struggles in doing so.
But anyway, Bravely Second: End Layer! This Nintendo 3DS gem should show up at E3 this year, and we will certainly have a release date before the end of the show. I'm thinking early 2016 at the very latest.
I'm blindly reaching into my hat for a risky prediction and pulling out this one, but I have a pretty good feeling that this will be a reality by the end of the show. I've read a few credible rumors around saying that Square Enix wants to get Final Fantasy XII HD on the market before Final Fantasy XV launches, and the company needs to act quickly if that is the case.
Square Enix also insisted that Final Fantasy XII HD could happen if Final Fantasy X|X2 HD Remaster was a success, and boy oh boy was it ever! Between those two HD ports, Final Fantasy XIII's venture onto Steam, and Square Enix's new initiatives with Final Fantasy XI, this is the only "modern" Final Fantasy that does not have an up-to-date contingency plan. Even the NES classics have more presence on the marketplace than Final Fantasy XII! Come on Square Enix, it needs to happen.
PlayStation 3, 4, and Vita! March 2016! Let's do it!
Just a fun little note, I originally had Dragon Quest VIII HD in here as well, but the recently announced Nintendo 3DS remake convinced me that it's not going to happen. Plus, if it were real, there is no way Square Enix would announce it at any convention outside of Japan.
Square Enix only loves its Japanese Dragon Quest fans … Speaking of which.
We know Dragon Quest Heroes is coming to the States, we just don't know when. I'll guess that Square Enix will announce a summer release date on this one, early fall at the latest. You never know with Square Enix's inscrutable Dragon Quest branch though?
You know, I wasn't a big fan of Hyrule Warriors, but thank goodness it was such a hit. I really doubt Square Enix would have given this Dragon Quest title a second glance for a Western release if it didn't see all the delicious money that cheap game was making for Nintendo.
Don't expect it to be as big of a hit as Hyrule Warriors. Expect Square Enix's number-crunchers to put that in the financial reports. Expect the executives to determine it's because Americans don't love Dragon Quest. Expect them to use it as another reason to continue denying us further Dragon Quest games … and the cycle will consider to spin.
Oh, come on. You knew I was going to go here. Hear me out because we might have a chance this year though!
I have a strong feeling that Dragon Quest fans have made their voices loud and clear about their disappointment in Square Enix's treatment of the franchise in the West. I think it knows it has to throw us a little something more than a cheap Musou game and sub-mediocre iOS/Android ports to make up for it.
This is the game we want. I understand Dragon Quest X can't come to the States because it's an MMORPG and there is no consistent audience for it. I get it. I understand why Dragon Quest Monsters can't come to the States because it will be slaughtered by Yokai Watch and Pokemon on the spot. I get it. I can even maybe understand why Rocket Slime 3 can't come to the States because it has social systems Square Enix might not want to accommodate for.
Square Enix has zero excuses for Dragon Quest VII. The excellent JRPG pool from the last two years on the Nintendo 3DS has dried up, and the handheld needs another string of hits before its generation expires. Dragon Quest VII can more probably than not do very well on the Nintendo 3DS market if it is free from piracy, free from excessive competition, and free from elementary marketing blunders.
It has a long script? Boohoo. So does every JRPG that leaves the country, and Dragon Quest VII is already in English! It doesn't even have to be translated, just touched up to modern standards! The excuses are running thin, Square Enix. Make this year the year I don't have to complain about this nonsense anymore. Please.
Oh yeah, somewhere in the middle off all these exciting Japanese games, I forgot that Square Enix still makes Western games these days as well. Of all of its ventures into Eidos' backlog, far and away, Just Cause 3 excites me the most. Just Cause 2 was one of my favorite games of the previous generation, and a trailer released not too long ago was more than enough to convince me that Avalanche Studio hasn't lost one step of its stride.
This game is going to be fantastic, and I can't wait for it to come along and spit in the face of AAA "we're trying to be smart entertainment for adults" pretension. Buzz off! It's just a big, dumb action game with excellent mechanics and world design, and it's going to be so much fun because of it. No rules, no boundaries, no nagging developer perched on your shoulder and steering you by the nose hairs. Just go have fun!
Square Enix already has the hype out on this one, and all we are waiting for is a release date! One more trailer to set the sky on fire before this action bonanza takes the world by storm. Grand Theft Whato?
I'm not as big of a Deus Ex: Human Revolution fan as some out there, but I think there is potential for a quality sequel in the series. Strangely enough, this is the first game I've listed in which we have almost zero footage or next to zero information on, making it the only major "announcement" on this list! Let's give it up for all those Japanese games which already exist overseas! It's what Square Enix does best, isn't it?
This Western stuff is just like french fries or caviar to go down with its main course. Depends on which game you are playing. If Just Cause 3 is the greasy, dirty, and ultimately satisfying french fries, Deus Ex is the caviar, one for people who want to appear refined in their choice of gaming and yet struggle against the gag reflex as they swallow down that "push this button for this ending" final bite.
I think this game will come out next year, and I think it will be solid.
Oh yeah, Rise of the Tomb Raider might also show up at E3, but Microsoft is going to have to foot the bill and show it off on its dollar, not on Square Enix's. At least, we think that might be the case as its an Xbox One exclusive for a while.
That's fine! More stage time for Dragon Quest VII! Seriously, Square Enix. Dragon Quest VII. Let's see it happen.

Kabul (BNA) August 19th coincides with the Independence Day of Afghanistan. The name that has connection to the country's independence is the name of King Amanullah Khan Ghazi, who led the country to full independence from the then British influence. King Amanullah Khan took possession of the throne immediately after his father's assassination in 1919, at a time when Great Britain exercised an important influence on Afghan affairs. In his coronation address King Amanullah Khan declared total independence from Great Britain. This led to war with the British (Anglo-Afghan Wars), but the then British Indian army exhausted from the heavy demands of World War I and finally a peace treaty recognizing the independence of Afghanistan was signed at Rawalpindi (now in Pakistan) in August 1919. After the assassination of his father, he organized a gathering of the people in front of Kabul's grand mosque and said: "As I am putting on the crown on my head, I am announcing the complete independence of my country and urge you to accompany me in this admirable journey." This announcement was the start of the Third Anglo-Afghan War which began on 6 May 1919 and ended with a ceasefire on 8 August 1919.
In the aftermath of this war the British Empire lost control of Afghanistan's foreign affairs and it became a completely independence country. Although a charming man and a sincere patriot and reformer, King Amanullah Khan was also impulsive and tactless and tended to surround himself with poor advisers. Shortly after ascending the throne, he pushed for a series of Western-building projects, but was opposed by reactionaries. In 1928 he returned from a trip to Europe with plans for legislative reform and emancipation of women, proposals that caused his popular support to drop and enraged the mullahs and religious figures. During his travels, opposition to his rule increased, an uprising in Jalalabad culminated in a march to the capital, and much of the army deserted rather than resist. In early 1929, King Amanullah Khan abdicated and went into temporary exile in then British India. His brother Enayatullah Khan became the next King of Afghanistan for a few days until Habibullah Kalakani took over.
However, Kalakani's nine months rule was soon replaced by Nadir Khan on 13 October 1929. Amanullah Khan attempted to return to Afghanistan, but he had little support from the people. From British India, the ex-king traveled to Europe and settled in Italy and later in Switzerland. Meanwhile, Nadir Khan made sure his return to Afghanistan was impossible by engaging in propaganda. King Amanullah Khan died in Zurich, Switzerland in 1960. His body was brought to Afghanistan and buried in the eastern city of Jalalabad. Very few of his many reforms were continued once he was no longer in power.


The old me is gone.... Far far away..... In the chill winds of winter And am here still in this summer. Waiting oh waiting.... Watching my old self going far far away...... And here am standing unable to hold it...stop it....or even walk that way.
Those days are gone, Gone are those days..... Those days....those days..... Those days are gone.... The old me is gone, The smiling me, The blossoming me, The blissful me, The happy me..... The colorful me...... The old me.
I want that positive soul to come back, I want that blossoming soul to shine back, I want that happy soul to spread the joy..... And cover the sky....high high........ I miss the old me. Cause those days are gone....... Gone are those days........... I miss the soul so much.


RUSH: Yes, my friends, it's an interesting… (laughing) Take a look. I'm telling you as I was telling Mr. Snerdley this morning, "The media has gone all Palin on Trump now. They've gone all Palin." Folks, there's no doubt what is going on. The media is trying to take Donald Trump out. And I've told this story a number of times. Please indulge me as I tell it one more time, because there are new listeners, not just every day, there are new listeners every half hour on this program. We have the data to document that.
They still believe that the only way we can ever win is to have a nominee or a candidate for whatever election is up that the media doesn't destroy. And, of course, I said, "Well, then if you get that kind of nominee that the media doesn't want to destroy, they're really not going to be that good." Here's an example: We have what is no doubt a hostage payment in violation of American policy, foreign policy, FBI policy. You name it. You don't pay ransom! You just don't do it.
He said (summarized), "There was nothing nefarious about this deal." There wasn't? There wasn't anything nefarious? So the Iranians want $400 million; they have four or five of our sailors. They tell us they'll release them when we pay up. But we can't use US dollars because of sanctions — meaning to do this, we have to break the law, if we can't use US dollars. So Obama then goes and arranges somehow to get $400 million from somewhere. Now, normally maybe there's a… What do you call it? What do businesses call…? The petty cash drawer.
The hostages are on the tarmac awaiting the arrival of that airplane and that cash before the Iranians will release them. One of the hostages was told, "You can't leave here until that plane arrives." The hostage says, "What plane?" "Never you mind," the Iranians say. "But there's a plane coming, it's got some stuff on it, and until it gets here and until we offload the stuff on it, you can't leave." Well, the plane lands; they offload the pallet of $400 million, again under cover of darkness — and, again, nobody knew it at the time.
"This was an advanced payment for Iran on some of their infrastructure rebuilding." I said, "You mean like the stimulus package that we had of close to a trillion dollars back in 2009 for the exact same reason?" Rebuild our roads. Rebuild our bridges. Rebuild our schools. The fact is that none of that stimulus money went to any of those. Isn't it amazing how often "infrastructure" is used to justify the expenditure of a lot of money that otherwise wouldn't make any sense?
So we know an airplane with $400 million in cash currency landed in Iran, that pallet was offloaded and given to the ayatollahs. We know that happened! Trump says he saw a video of it. Turns out, he was mistaken. He saw a video of something on Fox News but it wasn't this. What is the news today? What is the news? In the Drive-By Media, what is the big story today? It is that Donald Trump lied about seeing a video of $400 million being paid as ransom to the Iranians for the release of hostages.
The big story is not asking where Obama got the $400 million. The big story is not asking how Obama laundered the $400 million and turned it into Swiss and Euro currency. There seems to be no interest in any of that. The big story is that Donald Trump mistakenly saw a video of all of this happening. The big story is not that anybody else who found a way to launder money and use it this way would have already been charged with something and maybe in jail. No, no, no! Of course not. That's not the story. Don't be ridiculous.
The big story is Donald Trump says he saw a video.
The big story is not that every single American on foreign soil is now at risk for kidnapping because the Obama regime has paid ransom. That's not a story. It's not a factor. We're not even warning anybody, "Be careful, you could be next," because the big story is that Donald Trump said he saw a video of this all happening. We know it happened. And the big story is not the video on YouTube done by Iran to brag of the payment! There is a video. The Iranians have the video on YouTube bragging about the ransom they collected.
That's the big story of today and is offered as further evidence of why Trump is unfit to be president.
"On Wednesday, CNN's New Day," I guess it's their morning drive news program, "devoted nearly 200 times more coverage to alleged scandals involving Donald Trump than it did to the … $400 million [ransom] payment the Obama [Regime] sent to Iran …" Two! Hundred! Times! We ask, "Why doesn't this hostage story…? Why does this ransom story…? Why doesn't it cause people to get angry?" Because, folks, they don't know about it. Apparently, a majority of Americans are not even hearing about it. They're hearing about all of Trump's scandals but they're not even hearing about this. They don't even know about this story.
RUSH: Here's Mike in Richmond, Virginia. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.
CALLER: Thanks, Rush. I appreciate it. Thanks for having me on your show. I appreciate that.
RUSH: You're welcome, sir. I'm glad you're there.
CALLER: Thank you for keeping my blood pressure at a manageable level. (chuckles) In reference to Trump, do you think that what's going on right now with the Democrats and the media — even the turncoats in his own party — can possibly backfire on them?
RUSH: Um… (long sigh) Give me an example. What kind of thing are you thinking or hoping might happen?
CALLER: What I'm thinking is, sometimes in this country when you pick on the underdog, the underdog comes out with sharper teeth.
RUSH: "At some point, is this going to arouse pro-Trumpers to the point of being so damned condescending and insulting, that it's going to fire them up even more?" I know you could probably give me other examples where you think the media is just being over the top, can cause a backlash.
RUSH: You never know. That's the thing: We'll not know. Maybe it shows up in polling data but we won't really know what to attribute it to.
RUSH: But I do know this: You can't rely on that, even if something like that does happen.
RUSH: I think one of the things that Obama is doing with that really arrogant and condescending… You have to understand that Trump has ardent supporters, and Trump's supporters are not demanding. They don't demand you speak the correct language. They're not demanding that he sound like a Harvard professor. They just demand that he be honest with them, that he mean what he's saying, that he intends to do all of this.
They've given Trump a lot of leeway and a lot of latitude. He can go off the beaten path and say something impolitic about somebody and they won't abandon him. So I think when you have just a blatant media campaign such as this to destroy Trump — and then Obama coming out on top of it with his arrogant condescension — one of the things you think might be happening is it will really cement in people's eyes just who these establishment people are, and just what a monumental task it is to take them on.
But I don't know if people who are not supporting Trump have the slightest curiosity about it. I don't know if they see things that way. But the evidence is that most people believe what they hear out of Obama's mouth. He's got a 56% approval number. The evidence is that most people believe what they hear by the Drive-By Media. I mean, they believe that George Bush… After four years, the media convinced people that George Bush was a crime walking. They got Bush's approvals numbers down to the thirties.
Admittedly, Bush wasn't responding to any of them. The Bush administration wasn't defending it at all, and Trump does. Trump pushes back. But I think it's one of the things we have to admit. We have to admit this. To sit here in denial does not serve any purpose. The great unwashed — a certain but sizable percentage of our population — believes everything they see in the media. They just do! Still. Despite 30 years now of alternative media exposing it every day. Their monopoly's gone, and they've been dealt a serious blow in that regard.
But their credibility hasn't been assaulted.
Their credibility has not been successfully attacked — and notice, that's their technique. They never… Be it the Democrat Party, be it elected officials, be it the media, they never debate us on ideas. All they try to do is destroy any effective man or woman who has the ability to communicate it. (sigh) I've seen them do it to Oliver North. You've seen what they've done to Sarah Palin. They're doing it now with Trump. They did it with George W. Bush. They would do it to Ted Cruz.
If you think, by the way, that Cruz or Rubio or anybody else would be faring better, they'd be getting the same stuff today that Trump is getting, tailored to them. There wouldn't be anything different other than the substance of whatever they would be doing. But they would be in the same destroy mode. They'd be going after whoever had won, if it were somebody other than Trump. Take your pick! Jeb? They would have found ways, because it's going to be Hillary come hell or high water.
Hillary or bust! There is no, "Well, maybe Jeb's okay." There is no, "Some Republicans would be okay if Hillary doesn't win it." That's not the option. So, they'd be out there trying to destroy whoever the nominee was. So if any of you're thinking (impression), "Well, my God! We really could have spared ourselves if we had nominated…" No. Wrong way to look at it. You might want to say that Rubio or Cruz or take your pick, would have done better at dealing with it, but (chuckles), where's the evidence for that?
When I say "everybody," I mean the majority of the American people. They think ABC, CBS, NBC is the news. They turn it on CNN or MSNBC, and they've been watching the media. They're not. It isn't news! They're watching the promotion of the Democrat Party agenda, and I say Democrat Party because that's where the power is. You might say, "No, Rush. They're promoting the leftist agenda! It's communism. It's socialism." Yeah, but, the Democrats have to get elected to implement this stuff. It's the Democrat Party agenda.
Now, while they're doing that, they are trying to destroy — with basic disfigurement, impugning, lying — whatever the Republican agenda is and whoever the Republicans are trying to advance it. So there are two things going on at the same time, and these attacks on Republicans and conservatives and spokesmen and so forth are always attacks on their character, on their honesty, on their intelligence, on their whatever — and that's how they go out.
And they never attack or even talk about the honesty of Hillary Clinton or the honesty of Bill Clinton or the honesty of Barack Obama. They never go there. Everything is under the umbrella of, "Will the Democrats get what they want?" Whatever the Democrats want, that's the MacGuffin. If they want Hillary to be the nominee, anybody trying to stop that — in this case, it would be Trump — is the enemy that has to be taken out. People watching think they're watching the news.
But they're not watching the news. They're not watching media. They're watching politics, and they claim to hate politics. Like the poll of young people we just shared with you. "I don't like either political party." Millennials. Only 28% identify with a party, because they don't like "politics." They have no idea that they're watching raw, cutthroat-'til-it-bleeds politics when they watch ABC, CBS, NBC, read the New York Times, the LA Times, USA Today, Washington Post, Facebook, Twitter, you name it. Google searches.


Prime Minister Scott Morrison (pictured) will bring forward tax cuts for small and medium businesses by five years - heeding the call by Conservative Party leader Cory Bernardi, two months ago, for him to do just that.
The Guardian reports, under the plan, the government will lower the tax rate for businesses with an annual turnover of less than $50m from 27.5% to 25% by 2021-22 rather than from 2026-27 as currently legislated.
The Turnbull government passed tax cuts for small and medium businesses in March 2017 but plans to extend the tax cuts to big business were thwarted by the Senate, prompting Senator Bernardi to call on the government to accelerate the tax cuts for small and medium businesses instead.
Scott Morrison and the treasurer, Josh Frydenberg, promised to introduce legislation in the next session of parliament, arguing the policy "will mean more investment, more jobs and higher wages".
"This means that a small business, such as an independent supermarket or a pub, that makes $500,000 profit, will have an additional $7,500 in 2020-21 and $12,500 in 2021-22 to invest back into the business or staff, or help to manage cash flow," they said.

Teamsters Win New Contract at Action Carting
Sanitation workers will have two new holidays – including MLK Day – in addition to higher wages, lower healthcare costs, and a shorter workweek
Today, Teamsters Local 813 announced a new contract for sanitation workers at Action Carting, who collect commercial trash in New York City. The contract caps months of negotiations and ensures good jobs for Teamsters members at Action Carting in a private sanitation industry under increasing scrutiny for dangerous conditions and low wages.
"We stood together and demanded a fair contract – and we got it," said Jamel McLean, a sanitation worker at Action Carting. "For too many years, private sanitation workers in this city have been going backward with low wages and unsafe jobs. With a strong union like the Teamsters, you can get the fair treatment you deserve."
Over the life of the four-year agreement, wages will rise 13-25%, with the greatest raises coming to the lowest paid positions. Workers will also gain Martin Luther King Day and Veterans Day as paid holidays. The addition of MLK Day was particularly important to the workers, as this year is the 50th anniversary of the civil rights leader's assassination while supporting striking Memphis sanitation workers.
"The vast majority of this industry's workforce is black and Latino and we know that we are part of a long history of sanitation workers fighting for racial and economic justice," said Sean T. Campbell, President of Teamsters Local 813. "I thank Action Carting for bargaining in good faith. This agreement is the next step toward raising standards in this industry."
The contract will also reduce workers' healthcare premiums and increase the company's weekly contribution to their retirement. Workers will receive additional safety equipment. The company and the union have also committed to work together to make a five-day work week available for the workers who want it. Mandatory six-day workweeks have become commonplace in New York City's private sanitation industry.
"These Teamsters won big wage increases, cheaper health care, and new holidays. That's not happening for most workers, union or not," said George Miranda, President of Teamsters Joint Council 16, which represents 120,000 workers in Downstate New York, including Local 813. "It's a tribute to the solidarity of the Teamster members at Action to fight for the contract they deserve."
Recent media reports and government investigations have found abusive working conditions at many of New York City's waste haulers. What was a middle-class job a generation ago is now often low-paying and exploitative. In addition to six-day workweeks, many companies require shifts of over 12 hours per night.
"The workers who collect our trash every night have been underpaid and mistreated for too long," said City Council Sanitation Committee Chair Antonio Reynoso. "They and their families deserve fair wages and safe jobs. The Teamsters are leading the fight to get justice for private sanitation workers and I am proud to partner with them to reform and elevate working standards in this industry."
Mayor de Blasio and the Department of Sanitation recently announced a commercial waste zone policy that will transform the industry by mandating higher working standards and cutting truck traffic. The Teamsters are part of the Transform Don't Trash NYC coalition, which is campaigning for the strongest commercial waste zone possible, with wage standards and one carter per zone.
"This contract is a big step, but we are committed to bringing good jobs to every private sanitation worker in this industry," said Campbell. "I urge workers who want to fight for better jobs for themselves and their families to contact Teamsters Local 813."


This lovely little thing started out as a $50 pile of junk dragged from a barn. The plan was to turn this 1977 CB750K into an affordable CR750 race replica. We also made it the only street legal CR we've ever seen.
The result is a pretty quick little bike. It handles well, stops when asked, and is over 100 lbs lighter than it started out. Visually there are two primary differences between this and it's considerably more costly inspiration. First, it does not have the full fairing. This is partly because it would make it as hot as balls to ride in Texas heat and partly to save the motor during low speed riding. Secondly, it has a headlight. There are obviously other differences to the real McCoy, but we wanted a rideable bike more than a hand grenade. For the most part... it's a pretty road-racer that's easy to ride and performs as well as it looks. There's also a video of the bike at the bottom of the page... it sounds like an angry metal bear.
Various drilled bits and lots of weight loss!

Listening to History
Remembering the Currituck Sounder
August 30, 2017 October 16, 2017 / David Cecelski
In 1984 Barbara Doll, a student at Currituck County High School, visited Ada Waterfield at her home on Knotts Island and asked her to talk about her life and the island's history. Ms. Waterfield was 90 years old at the time. She had been born on Knotts Island in 1894. In a story that she later wrote about Ms. Waterfield's life, Barbara Doll called her "my dear old neighbor" and "friend from childhood." She described her as a rather imposing figure, regardless of her age: robust, stern, uncompromising, strong-willed and unyielding, despite her years.
"Any force would have to take her unaware," Barbara Doll wrote of her: "a face-on foe would never stand a chance."
Ms. Doll explained that Ms. Waterfield loved her church and her family, and she still grieved for a father who died when she was twelve years old. Then she let Ms. Waterfield tell about her life on Knotts Island in her own words.
This essay was a lecture sponsored by the Currituck County Historical Society and the Friends of the Currituck Library that I gave in the fall of 2013. It was later published in "Carolina Comments," the N.C. Division of Archives & History's bimonthly newsletter, in January 2014.

"At first," Ms. Waterfield told her, "there wasn't any transportation [on Knotts Island], except by horse and cart or wagon because we had no road to connect the island to Virginia…. No one left the Island for goods because there was no way to go. Later in years there was a boat, the Currituck, that carried freight from Norfolk to the south end of Knotts Island to Poplar Branch and back to Norfolk." Ms. Waterfield summed up island life during her childhood this way: "Everybody worked, the children went to school, and… on Sundays everybody went to church."
Though surrounded by marsh and water, Knotts Island was not totally apart from the world and had a number of regular visitors when she was young. They ranged from traveling salesmen to sport hunters from New York. All those decades later, Ms. Waterfield still cherished the memory of one of the island's regular visitors: "a colored man they called a huckster," she said. "He went around and would take orders for things…and he would go by horseback over through Munden Point. The first book I ever got when I was in school was ordered from him by my mother."
Doctors also could not reach the island except by boat. But, Ms. Waterfield said, "There were women who were midwives and people who made medicines of herbs. I had an aunt who made all our cough syrup and she made a special salve for Papa's tetter on his hands." ("Tetter" is an old term for a kind of dry cracked skin with blisters, probably emphysema.)
One time her sister accidentally cut off one of her older brother's fingers on a chopping block. "Our neighbor, so they told me, stuck it back on with varnish!" she said. "To this day," she added, "you can see a ridge around it. It's funny looking, but it's still on there."
Music Drifting across the Marsh and Sea
They did not leave easy lives. They had, of course, no running water, no electricity and no refrigeration of any kind. For women like her mother, washing, cleaning, cooking and childrearing—as well as, for many, fieldwork, net making and other outdoors work—made for long, weary days and nights. Nobody had much money. A hurricane or nor'easter might leave an island community broken, crops ruined, and boats in the marshes. Storms, droughts, or plagues could literally spell the end for a whole village, and sometimes did.
Yet Ms. Waterfield's elders sought to ensure that children like her grew up not just knowing how to work and survive, but ever mindful of the beautiful things in life.
She told young Barbara Doll that she had never forgot how her father purchased the very first organ on the island. "There were seven men that had girls and they wanted to hire a music teacher to board on the island and teach music to their daughters," she said.
Up until that time, her father had led the singing at the local church with a tuning fork. As I read her words, I could almost hear that first organ playing one of the old hymns and the congregation's voices rising out of the little church and drifting across the marsh and sea.
The Birth of the Currituck Sounder
Young Barbara Doll's portrait of Ms. Ada Waterfield and Knotts Island a century ago comes from a remarkable collection of local history and folklore that was created here at Currituck County High School in the 1970s and '80s. In 1976 an obviously talented English teacher named Susie G. Spruill and the 30 students in her American Literature class launched a journal called the Currituck Sounder. Following in the footsteps of Elliot Wigginton and his students at the Rabun Gap High School in the Appalachian mountains of Georgia—the producers of the nationally-acclaimed Foxfire magazine and books—they traveled from Moyock to Powells Point to listen to their elders and gather stories about their history and traditional ways of life.
History teacher (and my friend) Barbara Snowden soon joined the effort. Over the years, the high school's English, history, business and graphic arts departments all played important roles in producing the Currituck Sounder, as did the Coratucke Junior Historians, which Barbara first organized in 1977. The Currituck Sounder received crucial financial support from local businesses and community groups, including the Currituck Historical Society.
On and off between 1976 and 1988, the high school's students compiled oral histories, photographs, stories and poems and published them in the Currituck Sounder.
They sought, first, to preserve Currituck County's history: to record and preserve the voices not only of the famous or well-heeled, but the farmers, fishermen, hunting guides, boat builders, country doctors, shopkeepers, field hands and domestic workers who all called Currituck County home.
"Since we have very little recorded history," Ms. Spruill wrote in her introduction to the first edition of the Currituck Sounder, "the best source of information on the County is its people." Nothing seemed to excite her more than "seeing a group of students capture the soul and spirit of the people of Currituck."
Over the years, the Currituck Sounder won statewide awards and even earned some national recognition. As I lingered over copies that Barbara leant me, I discovered something worthwhile in nearly every story in every issue.
The students may not have possessed a historian's or folklorist's professional training, but that did not deter them. They were smart and dedicated. They had the help of first-rate teachers and a great deal of community support. Many were talking with elderly friends, neighbors, or relatives for whom they cared deeply. The students clearly wanted to do right by them.
I could tell that those elderly men and women cared deeply for the young people as well. That older generation sought to impart to them something important about Currituck County's past, but also something important about life itself.
The Currituck County Historical Society
Tonight, in honor of the Currituck Historical Society's 60th anniversary, I would like to share a few of my impressions of the Currituck Sounder. Many years have passed since the last issue of the Currituck Sounder went to press and I imagine that even here you may not go back and read them very often.
I thought that it might be time to look at those old issues of the Currituck Sounder with a set of fresh eyes and to take a moment to remember and appreciate the accomplishment of your students, teachers and community members.
With avid curiosity, I have read every page of them over the last few weeks and I could not have spent the time any better. A generation ago, some may have considered them merely a high school exercise—an impressive high school exercise, but an exercise—but I don't think anybody could say that now. Today their accomplishment seems like a precious thing. With a rare exception or two, the stories in the Currituck Sounder preserve the voices of men and women who are no longer with us, and a vision of Currituck County that is otherwise lost.
More Water in my Veins than Blood
Reading those old issues of the Currituck Sounder, I met a host of unforgettable souls. They ranged from Floyd "Fluff" Parker, a fisherman, boat builder and boat mechanic who declared, "There's more water in my veins than blood," to Hazel Johnson, a French immigrant who was buried alive and shot during the Second World War but eventually fled France and somehow ended up on Belle's Island.
I relished meeting Emerson Sears, who told one of the high school students, Connie Stallings, that he worked plow horses from first light to sundown when he was still just a boy in Shawboro. "If the horse slowed down while he was plowing, another horse was brought to him," she learned from him. He lived most of his life at Church's Island and was still fishing or trapping most days at the age of 93, when Ms. Stallings interviewed him.
I also will not soon forget Clarence Twiford, a commercial fisherman who boasted, as few today can, that he "never worked a day's work for a man in my life 'cept what I've wanted to. I come in and go to sleep when I'm ready; I don't pay no attention to the clock."
They all recalled the days when small farming and gardening were the foundations of local life. In his interview, one of the county's country doctors, a Dr. Wright, then 82, said, "In Jarvisburg alone, there used to be 30 farmers and now there are only two [agricultural] corporations."
Another farmer, Mib Sawyer, similarly talked about the transformation of farming in Currituck County. In an interview that his granddaughter did with him for the Currituck Sounder, he also spoke about the old county schools:
When I went to school, I lived in what is now Spot. I had to walk 'bout 2 miles to school…, and it was a three-room school and had three teachers. The only one I remember is Elizabeth Aydlett. It was one to the sixth grade. It didn't have nothin' but ole potbelly wood stoves and had a pump in the yard. There weren't no school lunches; you carried collard green sandwiches and beans or anything your people put in your lunchbox.
Because the Children Needed Her
The schoolteachers interviewed by the students made a special impression on me. They come across the pages of the Currituck Sounder as extraordinary, larger-than-life women with commanding presences and unswerving, almost daunting devotion to their students.
One such teacher that stood out to me was Margaret Poyner, who grew up on the Bells Island road and started teaching when she was 19 years old. In Matilda Ivey's story about her, Ms. Poyner—who I believe was African American— remembered having as many as 75 children in her classroom. She was not complaining—just explaining.
Hunger was far too common in Currituck County in those days and she recalled how she and other teachers often brought cans of beans to school for elementary and kindergarten children that came to school hungry, in the days before the federal school lunch program. For two years, she also taught the first racially integrated kindergarten in the county without pay, because the children needed her and she thought it was right.
In her interview, another retired schoolteacher, Marion Fiske Welch, focused on the decade of the 1920s as a crucial dividing line between two ages.
The Pivotal Decade: the 1920s
"As I look back," Ms. Welch told another of the high school's students, Windborne Thorn, "it's as if a curtain fell upon my childhood years, and I stepped into another world."
"In my opinion," she reflected, "the effects of the end of World War I, Prohibition, woman's suffrage, the beginning of radio, and the increases in the purchase and use of the horseless carriage, the automobile, made our generation different."
Things really began to change, Ms. Welch said, when local women filled traditionally males jobs while the men were fighting overseas during the First World War. In her eyes, the transformation of Currituck County continued when those young men came home from that terrible war, having seen so much of the outside world, and when the county got its first paved road in 1927.
If We Needed a Doctor
Another interview that stood out to me was with Ms. Bertie Harris. Born in Harbinger in 1910, Ms. Harris's family owned the first radio in her neighborhood. "On Saturday nights neighbors usually came over and we all stayed glued to it," she said.
Telephones were unheard of. "If we needed a doctor," Ms. Harris recalled, "we had to put a white flag on a stake at the end of the road because there was no other way to contact him."
When she was ten years old, she saw her first silent movie at the James Adams Floating Theater, a barge that housed a traveling theater troupe that, besides showing those first movies, performed plays and musicals up and down the coast. Ms. Harris watched that first movie while the boat was docked at Halls Harbor, near her home, and she and her family received complimentary tickets for the show because her mother baked cookies for the crew.
They Killed All They Could
Warren Collier's interview with Louis O'Neal, a renowned decoy carver, made me yearn to see his handcrafted water birds. In the Currituck Sounder, Mr. O'Neal meticulously explained how, as a young man, he and his brother Pat would tromp into the North River swamps with one of those old-fashioned cross-cut saws and cut cross-sections of wood out of juniper stumps.
They used the juniper in fashioning the roughhewn "working decoys" that the big hunting clubs employed by the hundreds to attract ducks and geese into shooting range. He had always been a talented drawer and came from a family of boat builders. In his later years, he displayed a dazzling artistry in making waterfowl decoys of the kind displayed on a mantel, shelf, or other place of honor. His wooden birds awed young Warren Collier, and I think they would me, too.
Not surprisingly, many of the young people's interviews—especially the boys— featured duck hunting here in Currituck County. They talked about sport hunting, often including their own first times in a duck blind with a grandfather or a favorite great-uncle.
Many of the watermen interviewed by the students had worked as guides for the hunting clubs in their younger days. Isaac Aydlett, born in Grandy in 1885, began his working life as a "marsh guard" when he was 14 years old, a rather thankless job that involved keeping other gunners out of a hunting club's private lands.
Back in those days, before the advent of waterfowl conservation laws around 1920, he baited the birds with corn and used live decoys to lure them into firing range. "They killed all they could kill…. They just killed and slaughtered until they were ashamed of it," he told Dorothy Sears, one of the high school students.
North of Indiantown
I was also completely taken with Edward Roberts, a retired farmer interviewed by a student named Sarah Clark. All his life, Mr. Roberts collected arrowheads, stone axes and other Native American relics on his farm 3 miles north of Indiantown. In his retirement, he opened a short-lived Indiantown Museum that housed thousands of local Indian artifacts in an old farm building behind his house.
Clearly a labor of love, his museum contributed, I surmised, to a reputation for being a bit of an eccentric. In Ms. Clark's portrait of him, however, I recognized a kindred spirit, a man who had passionately gathered up whatever fragments of the past he could discover in order to understand what was here before us, to bring forgotten souls out of the shadows, and to see better who we are now.
I might be wrong, but from the interview in the Currituck Sounder I suspect that that old farmer had as great a depth of feeling for the local native peoples than anyone else alive at that time, and maybe ever since.
Shingle Landing and Ice from Maine
One of the most compelling interviews ran in the very first issue of the Currituck Sounder in the spring of 1977. A young man named Randolph Harry interviewed Ms. Alice Stephens, a Moyock native who was born about 1908.
Young Randolph called Ms. Stephens "grandma," though they weren't blood kin, and she wove stories for him that ranged from the Yankees burning Moyock during the Civil War to great schooners bringing cargo holds full ice from lakes in Maine.
She told him that Moyock had originally been called Shingle Landing and how they used to export cypress and cedar shingles that had been cut in the Great Dismal Swamp. She also recalled the countless barrels of salt herring that used to pile up at the landing. Black women, Ms. Stephens said, "would cut [the herring] and take the roe out and we'd go down and buy the roe by the quart or pint…. Then the herring were packed in kegs and shipped to other places."
Every autumn, Outer Banks fishermen arrived at Moyock and traded oysters for corn with local farmers. Boatmen unloaded cattle raised on Currituck Banks there, too, and filled great pens on the edge of town with them.
Her neighbors transported goods mainly by boat when she was a child, and maybe twice a year they took the railroad to Elizabeth City or Norfolk, which, at that time, she said, seemed "500 miles away."
Eventually a lumber mill opened at Moyock, providing a market for the old growth timber that was cut in the Great Dismal Swamp. Once a stretch of forest was cut, new settlers began to farm the old swamplands, including the Mennonites that settled on Pudding Ridge and raised mint so valuable that the Bank of Currituck kept a special place in its vault to store the barrels full of the distilled syrup.
Though a young girl at the time, she never forgot the night that the Moyock boys went off to the First World War. She and her family walked down to the railroad station to wave good-bye.
Ms. Stephens also remembered, as she put it, "the first thing I ever saw flying in the air": not an airplane, but a dirigible that drifted over her school. "We all got out of the door and some of the boys even jumped out the window and watched it go o'er because we had never seen anything fly in the air before."
Certain Basic Things Never Change
For all the changes that she witnessed in her lifetime, Ms. Stephens was not nostalgic for the past. "There are always changes for the good and changes for the bad," she cautioned young Randolph Harry.
Most importantly, she wanted him to know that "there are certain basic things that never change." She told him, "In Moyock we don't have time to visit like we used to, but let anyone get in trouble and they are right there to help you out. So I don't think kindness and goodness and those things change. They remain the same."
Many of the stories collected by the students centered on the county's churches. One that made an impression on me involved Noah and Maude Owens, who had a reputation for being talented singers in the choir at Poplar Branch Baptist Church during all the years since their marriage in 1919. They had sung at almost every funeral at the church for 69 years when one of the young ladies from their congregation came to interview them for the Currituck Sounder.
The student, Kelly Griggs, said that Ms. Maude always gave her a butterscotch candy after church on Sundays when she was a little girl, and she said that Ms. Maude's rendition of "Star of the East" was always the highlight of the church's Christmas service.
Star of the East, oh Bethlehem star, Guiding us on to heaven afar/Sorrow and grief and lull'd by the light, Though hope of each mortal, in death's lonely night.
I was reminded again that history is war and upheaval, presidents and kings, but it is also the solace of Maude Owens' funeral songs, the joy felt in the singing of "Star of the East" at Christmas in a little country church, and the kindness of old women to little girls.
I found some of the interviews more memorable for the way the interviews unfolded, than for the history remembered.
Across the Generations
One of those was an interview by a student named Kim Johnson with her grandfather, Jimmy Brickhouse, at one of your local rest homes or nursing homes. (Mr. Brickhouse, I learned today, was the much-loved janitor at the Griggs School.) She found him in bed and probably near his last day.
In the story that Kim Johnson wrote for the Currituck Sounder, I could tell that her grandfather loved her deeply and that she loved him deeply, and that they both knew this might be the end, though of course neither wanted to say it.
She told him about cheerleading and her other school activities, and he acted much more interested in talking about her life and her future than his past. Both seemed to be trying hard not to cry. At the end, Ms. Johnson wrote, "I hugged his neck and kissed his cheek [and] he slightly smiled and said, "Be good now 'till next time." In such stories, I began to understand that the Currituck Sounder was not only about preserving the county's history.
Lastly, another interview that drove that lesson home featured Mrs. Cleola Barnard Hill, who was born in Gregory in 1900. Mrs. Hill lived in Moyock when Barbara's student Kelly Maxwell visited her in 1987, for what I believe was the last edition of the Currituck Sounder.
"Mrs. Hill has worked since she was a child," Maxwell wrote. They talked in a room heated with a wood stove, in a house that had never had indoor plumbing. In the old days, Mrs. Hill told her, "Housework was hard. A washboard and tub were used; clothes were scrubbed, boiled, and hug out to dry. Her parents raised chickens and sometimes hogs… They said they ate anything they could get…. She picked beans, cotton, and corn… [and] cleaned house for a lady in Shawboro every Friday from 8 am until 8 pm. Payment was 1 dollar a day." Mrs. Hill told her these things without judgment or complaint.
"Mrs. Hill doesn't worry about things that bother others," Kelly Maxwell wrote. Fiercely independent, she "hates to ask for anything and hates for people to do things for her."
In a way the great changes in technology, luxury goods, and modern conveniences during the 20th century seemed meretricious to the elderly woman. "She says God will take care of her."
After hearing Mrs. Hill's stories of a lifetime of hard work and privation, but also of simple joys, family and faith, Kelly Maxwell could only shake her head and say, at the end of her story, "I hope I can look back and recall my past as joyously as Mrs. Hill did, and at the age of 87. I would like to be as happy as she is."
The Soul and Spirit of the People of Currituck
That—that moment when young and old, present and past, come together and get down to the marrow of things—is what ultimately makes these old issues of the Currituck Sounder so special in my eyes.
The value of the publication for preserving the county's history is priceless—the stories preserve a part of the county's past that would otherwise be lost and can't be visited again.
But as I read through the old Currituck Sounders, I came to understand that that's not all that was important about them. What started as a historical research project clearly became something more. The journal's founding advisor, Ms. Susie G. Spruill, came to recognize that fact (as, I'm sure, Barbara did too).
Eight years after the first edition appeared, when she penned a new edition's introduction, Ms. Spruill wrote, "Currituck Sounder is…an opportunity for two, three, or four generations to share, to develop a comradeship, and to realize through the sharing and writing we preserve for future generations the spirit of those people who call themselves Currituckians."
I congratulate you all for nurturing a project like the Currituck Sounder—I know it's only one of many good things that the people who care about Currituck County's history have undertaken these last 60 years, but it's a really special one. I hope that this little remembrance of the Currituck Sounder might inspire you once more to bring young and old together to go out yet again and re-discover, as Ms. Spruill said, "the soul and spirit of the people of Currituck."

One thought on "Remembering the Currituck Sounder"
Lowell Wood
I don't remember the Currituck Sounder. I don't recall Currituck High School because J. P Knapp High School took over as the only high school in 1960.

This is David Cecelski's official website. Here you'll find my books and an assortment of my essays and lectures. You'll also find a new project that features historical photographs of maritime life on the North Carolina coast between 1870 and 1941. In "Love in the Archives," you can also follow my expeditions to museums, libraries and archives here and abroad as I search for the lost stories from our coastal past.
If you see something in a photograph or manuscript that I didn't see, I hope you will let me know. If I got something wrong, I hope you will also let me know. And if you have an old diary, photograph or other historical document that you think might belong here, I'd love to see it
I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I enjoy writing them. I hope they will help you understand better my little corner of the Atlantic seacoast. Maybe they will even help you to grow a little closer to wherever you call home.
